Wikipedia Play Africa Competition Files Flagged Redundant

Hello TCells,

Some of my pictures were flagged redundant. Pls kindly review the files flagged. They are original pictures taken by me at the events stated in Jos Nigeria. You can observe from the mrta data information and also the multiple pictures uploaded of one scene. Please kindly restore it & remedy this anomaly. All what I have posted are authorised and originals. Thanks //BR Josh Eson L. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josh Eson (talk • contribs) 20:44, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Question

Hi T Cells. As I am new with the LR right, I have a question to ask. If the stated source of the file is no longer available, how should the file be dealt with? See File:(직캠)(4K 60P) 폴킴 - 좋은사람 (180415 2018 H.A.N.D 페스티벌) by.JAS.webm for the file I'm talking about. 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 05:13, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

大诺史 by "no longer available" do you meant the source is no longer accessible and you have no idea of under which license it was previously uploaded to Commons? I am away from home and currently on a mobile device but Davey2010 may be interested in this. Regards. T Cells^Talk 05:41, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for not being clear. The source of the mentioned file is no longer accessible. 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 05:43, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

@大诺史: Try archive.org. As the link was not found there, try Google cache. As it's not there either, try finding it in Bing cache. (doesn't seem to be there either) You can contact the uploader, but at this point it's probably a loss. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 06:20, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

大诺史, chances are that the video has been deleted from YouTube. That happens most of the time and there is nothing Commons can do about what happens on external websites. That being said, the image was imported from YouTube by a trusted user, User:Explicit, and I assumed they verified that the file was available there under the stated license on that date prior to importing here. Thus, if this is the case, the license cannot be revoked even thou the source link is broken or the license has changed, the same way a license cannot be revoked if any Flickr file change their license in the site after they have been verified here on Commons. T Cells^Talk 06:39, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

So it's ok to verify the license? 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 07:03, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

You can't verify the license as you cannot access the source but may be passed if User:Explicit confirm that the file was available there under the stated license on that date prior to importing here. T Cells^Talk 07:07, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, Alexis Jazz is bang on - The only way you can verify it would be to view a cached version however there's no longer cached versions available so as such the only option we have is to decline the licence and delete. –Davey2010^Talk 11:32, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

@大诺史: I forgot one method: search Commons. (insource:"X-TuJSVGbeY") Sometimes there is another file uploaded from the same source (like a screenshot) that has already been reviewed. In this case no such luck. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 15:00, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz and Davey2010: & T Cells. Thanks for explaining this to me :) I'll be copying this to my own talk page archive for easy reference. 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 15:04, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Should I just request a DR/speedy for the file? 大诺史 (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 15:06, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

I've DR'd it as at the time of uploading it could have been under a CC licence, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 15:08, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

@大诺史: Generally prefer DR. The uploader (Explicit) is an admin/license reviewer so it's best to let the uploader handle it in this particular case. If any other (reasonably trusted) user can confirm it was available under a CC license at the time, Explicit could review it. Of course, we have to take into consideration why the YouTube account was terminated. We don't actually know, but copyright violations are a common reason for account termination. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 15:14, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Another one I forgot! http://archive.is/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-TuJSVGbeY It's actually there, license confirmed. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 15:16, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Don't ever do this again

[1] This is disgraceful. Your dishonesty is well known, and a matter of record. I have no such history. That you would make such an accusation against me is a disgraceful (and very dangerous) thing to do, particularly from someone with your background. Apologise now, unreservedly, for this and I may still overlook this attack. Your choice - I advise you to make a wise one. You may be upset when I recount your previous misdeeds and offer my opinion that this makes you an untrustworthy judge of others, but to accuse me of using another account is something I cannot, and will not, let pass.

Choose not to immediately apologise for this and I'll have no option other than to pursue action against you for baseless slander, and what happens next won't be something you enjoy. Pissing me off with pathetic, inexplicable accusations like that is a really bad idea. Sort your mistake out now. This will be your only warning. -- Begoon 12:12, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Begoon: You may find it helpful to take m:No legal threats more seriously and avoid using legal terms, on any talk page, regardless of background context. If you have serious evidence of misbehaviour on Commons, then raising that evidence on ANU for effective mediation would be more useful than demanding apologies.

Thanks --Fæ (talk) 12:42, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Ash - you weren't asked for your opinion here. I understand to a degree your urge for solidarity here on the "island of misfits" where "all is forgiven and nothing else should matter", given your own history, but that's an unrealistic expectation, given human nature (see your own RFA requests if you doubt that), and I nevertheless urge wikicology to take my request very seriously.

I'm not only asking for an "apology" but far more importantly an immediate withdrawal of a bizarre, unsupported suggestion of socking. Accusations of socking without evidence are not something to be taken lightly. I've never socked myself, but I do believe you're personally very familiar with the principle. Nor am I, in my current mood, something/someone to be taken lightly. Thanks for stopping by though. -- Begoon 12:49, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Ash? Could you share with us your real life name or your LinkedIn profile? Asking as you are deliberately provoking me by using names that I do not use on this project as a harassment tactic. Please do something more obvious that I can quietly report to WMF Legal and we can get you globally locked from all projects rather than childishly poking the bear. It would save a lot of time and we would at least be improved by one less hostile troll. Thanks so much. --Fæ (talk) 13:05, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

I don't believe I'm "deliberately provoking" anything. I've only ever used one name on wikimedia projects. Your previous names are well documented at your RFA requests (you even confessed to some of them, though, I'm led to believe, not all of them, as was mandated by English arbcom). Sorry if you thought abbreviating one of the many was presumptious, I tried to choose the most "real" - apologies if I got that wrong. Call me a troll again - I'm just in the mood. -- Begoon 13:14, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi @T Cells: if you feel that Begoon is harassing or hounding you, please do take the evidence to ANU. This user is obviously looking for a fight, to import grudges from other places, to find an excuse to make legal threats, and to harass other contributors, not to support the mission of this project. Rather than arguing with this person, it may be more productive than noticeboards to raise any evidence of on-wiki or off-wiki harassment with WMF Legal directly. Thanks! --Fæ (talk) 13:27, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for beating me to it. Rather than having a separate thread about it at COM:AN/U, I have left a comment. T Cells^Talk 14:00, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Or, alternatively, T Cells could tell me why they accused me of socking with no evidence, avoiding my ire, and you could fuck off and try to find something to post about that actually concerns you. We'll see. It has the potential to be funny either way. -- Begoon 13:37, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

@Begoon: I understand why you're frustrated, but your words here are unacceptable. We have a legal threat and serious personal attacks. Please retract them. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 19:09, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

@Magog the Ogre: , this user is happy to ignore you while they are busy decorating their user page. Regards. T Cells^Talk 06:52, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Your best shot 2019

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

It's early 2020, which means it's time again to look back at photographs taken over the course of the past 12 months. As always, I'm curious – what would you consider your best shot of 2019 and why? I invite you to share your image and your thoughts in order to provide others with the opportunity to celebrate, learn, and enjoy:

Your best shot 2019

Thanks for all your effort in sharing your vision of the world with others under a free license!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 20:06, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 16:17, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Minorax, "COM:CSD#F10, Personal photos of or by non-contributors." Really? This is not eligible for COM:CSD#F10. It is my personal photo uploaded to test the WLA upload campaign. I am not going to revert your edit because I planned to nominated it for deletion myself but I'd encourage you to read COM:CSD and try as much as you can to discuss with established editors prior to nominating their uploads for deletion in the future. Regards. T Cells^Talk 16:42, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I’m very sorry about this bad tag. I will raise a UDR in a minute. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 17:02, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

No, my friend. Please leave it deleted. I just thought I should draw your attention to it. Regards. T Cells^Talk 17:08, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

I have a habit of opening 3-4 tabs at once to tag files so might be an oversight. Once again, sorry. Minorax^talk _{(formerly 大诺史)} 17:11, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on May 30, 2020

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I’d like to invite you to our group’s first Virtual Meeting on Saturday, May 30, 2020. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Please take a look at the meeting page and add your name to the list of participants if you’re planning to attend.

Hope to see you in a week! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:46, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

• I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
• Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
• Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:48, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Help / Support

Hi TCells, I need your advice and guidance in publishing some articles and suggestions on what to focus on.... Please kindly get back to me as soon as you can. Thanks //BR Josh Eson (talk) 09:51, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, TCells. I just renominated one of your pictures for deletion because it is a duplicate of a much better image. When I did that I was asked to place this code on your page, so here it is:

File talk:Slaves Under punishment.jpg

File talk:Slaves Under punishment.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 talk, 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. 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!

Copyright status: File:Screenshot of Babajide Sanwolu in a google search engine.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Screenshot of Babajide Sanwolu in a google search engine.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Yours sincerely, JuTa 18:30, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

• Virtual Meeting on March 20, 2020

Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:

If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.

Question from the CPUG Board

Dear user group member,

I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.

With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.

That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.

However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:

Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022

We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

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)

Out-of-scope pictures

Hi:

I have notice that you have uploaded many photos recently that seems out-of-scope (personal photos, graphics of your organisation, etc...) and entered them in the such initiatives as {{Wiki Loves Folklore 2023}}. They seems unrelated so could you review them and delete the one that are not useful for Commons.

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
