My message about you on EN-WP

As a courtesy to you, I am informing you that I have reported your edits at EN-WP, for which my talk page access there was blocked. See diff.

I am now, civilly, asking you to promptly take any corrective action you deem fit, if you feel the need to do so, otherwise I shall escalate under the WMF's terms of use for "Paid contributions without disclosure".

You are free to do whatever you want, including blocking me on Commons if you deem fit. However, it would be better for all concerned that this dispute between us is confined to Wikimedia avenues and doesn't spill into the real world. SinghIsFxing (talk) 04:08, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You have a selective memory. YOU created the conflict, not me. Yann (talk) 08:39, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Minister of Truth, anyone? This is your first post mentioned me. Yann (talk) 12:30, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
So ? What is wrong with that post ? Surely nothing which the man on the Clapham omnibus would disagree with ! SinghIsFxing (talk) 14:11, 19 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If you can't understand what's wrong with that post, you shouldn't be editing here. It seems you have a grudge against Jai Jagat or its organisators. But you got the wrong target here. If you have any complain, go to [1]. Also, about your claims regarding the GODL, with your aggressive behaviour, you lost all credibility whatever are your professional skills.

Happy holidays

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Yann!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikimedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk |  19:53, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Happy holidays!

Happy holidays, Yann!

Hello Yann, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! It has been a pleasure to have you as a fellow Wikimedian this year. Wherever you are, enjoy the festive season and stay warm (if you're north of the Tropic of Cancer)! Your help in maintaining, improving and expanding Wikimedia Commons will always be appreciated.

Greetings from Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Archive links

After struggling to find a particular archived section, I finally realised that your archives go up to (at least) 52, but your links only go up to 50, so anyone following the links could never find the newest discussions. Please fix your links! Brianjd (talk) 14:27, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done, thanks, Yann (talk) 15:21, 24 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Commons-emblem-issue.svg
File:Raising a flag over the Reichstag 2.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Image 'Microsoft Clipchamp screenshot.png' deleted

Hello, the image File:(Microsoft) Clipchamp screenshot.png was deleted, but I made this screenshot myself. And there are more people which also make certain screenshots themselves, which are not getting deleted. Minionguyjpro (talk) 06:18, 25 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Minionguyjpro: This is under a copyright by Microsoft. Only screenshots of free software are allowed, or when the content is too simple to get a copyright. This is not the case here. Yann (talk) 10:09, 25 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Supervote at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Algorithmically-generated art of a French maid teasing the viewer.png

You can’t close a deletion discussion that you’ve voted in just because you’re an administrator when there’s still voters who don’t agree. That comes across as a supervote, especially when you used your own not-great rationale (“sexually derogatory” which basically just means “I think it’s offensive” which everything on WMC is to somebody) as the close rationale. Dronebogus (talk) 21:41, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deletion requests are not vote. The decision is made based on the arguments, whatever majority these arguments have. Yann (talk) 22:19, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You can’t base it on your own argument! Dronebogus (talk) 22:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
This is (at least) the third of these DRs that you have closed unusually speedily, despite being involved in them, and despite there being an onging and contentious ANU thread banning their creator on the basis of this content. Deleting them thus makes it increasingly difficult to progress that ANU thread. These deletion actions are unjustified and disruptive. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:40, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Dronebogus and Andy Dingley: What educational use do you find for this image? If you can give me an example, I will undelete it. Yann (talk) 23:07, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_maid#Later_history explicitly lists and depicts “erotic french maid” as a popular subtype of the look/stereotype. This is a perfectly good illustration of this concept. Dronebogus (talk) 23:10, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't think it is a good illustration for that article, but meh... Yann (talk) 23:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No Yann, don't even go there. This is a procedural issue, about you breaching policy to apply a personal admin supervote in pre-emptively closing a DR. You can not defend yourself against that as "but my supervote is better than your reason". The fact is that you shouldn't have been closing these at all, and certainly not in under a day.

Isn’t Yann the one who insists that Eiffel Tower lighting photos are not copyvios despite all evidence to the contrary? I think it might be time for a de-mopping… Dronebogus (talk) 23:29, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Market Lane Euro 2020.jpg

Hi. Confused at your explanation for the deletion of File:Market Lane Euro 2020.jpg as this was a photo I took myself, and labelled the photo the correct way. Vaselineeeeeeee (talk) 18:42, 28 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Vaselineeeeeeee: The metadata say it is a screenshot. If it is your picture, upload the original image with full EXIF data. Thanks, Yann (talk) 19:15, 28 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Oram with Downey Jr and Cheung 2005.jpg

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have sent an OTRS for the following File:Robert Downey Jr with Master Eric Oram.jpg is there anything further I need to do to have the image reinstated? I took the photo myself but it was deleted a second time. The first time I uploaded the name of the file was Oram with Downey Jr and Cheung 2005.jpg

Frank Moss Bennett

Hello Yann

Sure, I have no problem. That US doesn't follow the rule of the shorter term is a pain. I had restored the first 26 images when I noticed the {{uRAA artist}} (sic) on Category:Frank Moss Bennett and realized that it (probably) failed the part about being PD in US too, so I grudgingly deleted them again. I'm not too happy with US legislation right now.

In the Frank Moss series both the flickr and youtube video are no longer available, but if you see how to investigate further, please go for it.

Not that other authors aren't free of this issue, either. Images were often deleted only of the grounds of 70 pma, without taking the US publication date into account. And people who died around 1952, they could both have made the works before and after 1928.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
