Pending deletion request

Hi,

Commons:Deletion requests/File:French Electronic duo performing their first live-set with Sir.Cus Techno Travel at the Palais des sports of Marseille, France, fall of 1995.jpg is still open without any comment. Why should we do with this file ? The precise subject depict in the file is indeed unclear but this file could be useful though (for instance to illustrate other articles like w:fr:Palais des sports de Marseille or w:Electronic music).

Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 17:53, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

I wonder how the file can be used you've admitted yourself that the "precise subject depict in the file is indeed unclear". If you feel there is still some utility, please type it on the DR page. I'm sure an admin will judiciously decide on the issue. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 17:58, 4 May 2012 (UTC).

I'm not very sure (otherwise, as an admin, I could have close the request by myself ^^). Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk)

Renaming File:sąd rejonowy.jpg to File:Nysa, sąd rejonowy.jpg

You've adhered to a rename request from an IP to rename File:sąd rejonowy.jpg to File:Nysa, sąd rejonowy.jpg. There are some two to three cities in the world named as Nysa including one in Poland. The normal renaming is done as Taj Mahal, Agra and not the other way round - Agra, Taj Mahal - So is the renaming correct? Hindustanilanguage (talk) 07:27, 18 May 2012 (UTC).

I don't think there is ever a "correct name" - short ones are incomplete and detailed ones are unwieldy (and prone to errors). Admittedly, I often miss to correct the awkward suggestions by the requesting editors. While you have a good point to add Poland here, en:Nysa suggests that Polish Nysa is the dominant destination for cities, and the Polish language in the name gives a hint. Cheers.

File:INTERIOR STAIRS VIEW , OLD HIGH COURT.JPG

Its fascinating what can be done with google when you play detective now. As you say at AN there are lots of High courts so the place to start is with the uploader. Click on his history and you will find that he has only one edit here which is not very promising. So I googled his name, the first hit was this page aha, its about a high court in Dhaka. Lets try googling "High Court, Dhaka", this came up with en:Old High Court Building, Dhaka. Comparing the text and looking at the edit history of that page, I am pretty sure that the uploader of the image was interested in this particular high court and that this stair case belongs to Category:Old High Court Building, Dhaka. Sometimes playing detective with a file will take me days, this one was easy as the uploader only worked on one article, but for those of us who like to play detective it is very rewarding, and it is not neccessary to delete a file because it does not seem immediately useable. We have the category Category:Unidentified subjects in which any unidentified subject can find a home.--KTo288 (talk) 11:58, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

 Thank you. for this insightful information. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 13:30, 21 May 2012 (UTC).

You're welcome.--KTo288 (talk) 13:54, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

I took an even easier path, I just looked at the global contributions of the uploader, and saw straight away that he created the page en:THE OLD HIGH COURT BUILDING, which was moved to en:Old High Court Building, Dhaka. But the interesting thing is looking at the edit history of en:THE OLD HIGH COURT BUILDING and we see he continued to edit the old page even after the rename/move and he added lots of photos - perhaps some lost material there that can be added into the en:Old High Court Building, Dhaka version. He also edited under two usernames. It appears that he didn't put a license on the other photos so they were deleted, and perhaps he was upset/confused by the article rename and deletion nominations, but he never fixed the licensing - we lost a genuine contributor. --Tony Wills (talk) 12:31, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

File renaming criterion #3: Correct misleading names into accurate ones. There are more than one photo of Lorne Greene in different years."

Hi,

I noticed you moved File:Lorne Greene.jpg to File:Lorne Greene 1942.jpg.

There isn't really anything misleading about pictures not being dated. Please be more careful when processing rename requests. --  Docu  at 17:31, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Its not me to request renaming the files. As regards to confusion of files named after Lorne Greene, please refer to this page before saying anything. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 05:15, 22 May 2012 (UTC).

I agree with User:Docu, that was a totally unnecessary file move. It is *not* necessary to rename files to distinguish them from other similar files. Please read the guidelines again, and the discussion on the guidelines talk page. Reserve the use of file move/rename to correct gross errors - the examples are quite specific. People do not search for files by filename, they either select them visually from a category etc, or use "search" which searches the descriptions. Yes, there is always a "better" name for a file, but that is not a good enough reason. "Lorne Greene" was not a misleading filename, in fact it is a quite accurate file name. Details of when/where/why etc can go in the file description (in multiple languages). A file name is *not* the file description. I hope I don't sound too abrupt, I'm just tying to help a little :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 11:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree with User:Docu too. --Sreejith K (talk) 12:45, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Right or wrong, this renaming is only part of many renames on Commons which can disputed, and perhaps, people like you can do remedy. Take the case of this discussion with Materialscientist or my discussion with Hoo man in connection with renaming a file which contradicted the description in the file itself. Is this an attempt to incriminate me overlooking a few good things I keep doing for Commons? Hindustanilanguage (talk) 13:47, 23 May 2012 (UTC).

Sorry, we are not making complaints against you :-), keep up the concientous work :-). But we have a system where people request renames with {{Rename}} and other trusted users check to see whether there is sufficient reason to move the file (those trusted users are granted the "renaming rights"). This project (Commons) is not like other wikipedia projects where it is just their own wiki use that they need to consider, moving files here often just creates other more subtle problems elsewhere that are often not immediately obvious. We are just pointing out that your interpretation of the renaming rules is too broad. The renames will not be reversed by anyone, but just keep in mind people often request (or insist on) unneeded renames. --Tony Wills (talk) 20:50, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

That's what even I am trying to say - in the two examples I cited above, my Commons friends exercised their powers in good faith - although somebody - including my humble self can dispute their moves. You can dispute my action in one file move, but you may kindly note I was careful in the other two file moves. Caution is precisely the only thing we can exercise in such cases. Regards, Hindustanilanguage (talk) 05:05, 24 May 2012 (UTC).

Good to hear. In this case, the reasoning of the requester didn't match our policy on file renames. Possibly this somewhat slipped through when you attempted to check it.

If we start to rename files to distinguish them from other images of the same subject, not only would most files on Commons be renamed, but we would keep renaming them when we get more files of the same subject.

Adding information to the description field is generally a better choice when attempting to distinguish several images of the same.

Sorry that the fact that two other users agreed with my comment gave you the impression is is some sort of attempt of [whatever], but I suppose they just happened to come across your talk page for some other reason.

BTW, I should have started my comment by thanking you for processing some of my rename requests. --  Docu  at 06:30, 26 May 2012 (UTC

You are always welcome. I will extend all my cooperation for any constructive help I can offer to you as a friendly fellow Commons User. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 06:35, 26 May 2012 (UTC).

If you believe this block is unjustified, you may add {{Unblock}} below this message explaining clearly why you should be unblocked. For more information, see Appealing a block.

It is for the comments you have made about the cleavages of the women in the photos you placed descriptions on.User:Zscout370 ^{(Return fire)} 18:42, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

FYI, I think the block has to do with the fact that your additions consistently remarked on the cleavage in the image even where the cleavage was not relevant to the subject itself. Also, on the cunnilingus photo, the description "are they standing up or laying down?" isn't a valid description: it's trolling. Magog the Ogre (talk) 18:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

It goes beyond trolling, there's personal attacks at DRs too.—SpacemanSpiff 19:35, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

BTW your description in Hindi is not the same as it was in English. "नीचे से ऊपर या ऊपर से नीचे !" means "From the bottom up or top-down!" which has no relation with the english description "It's new HTML5 tag, that defines time or date or both."
