Reapplying for License Reviewer[edit]

I have an inquiry about the appropriate timing for reapplying as a license reviewer. Given that my previous application was unsuccessful, I am interested in knowing when it would be advisable to reapply. Additionally, I'd appreciate any guidance on how to enhance my knowledge and qualifications for a successful application in the future. Any insights or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 04:40, 11 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Btspurplegalaxy Apologies for the delay. I'd suggest no sooner than 3 months, something closer to 6 months is probably better. In the meantime, tagging copyright violations, filing deletion requests, and contributing to other's deletion requests would help your next application. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 22:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the advice. I'll do my best for next time ː) Btspurplegalaxy (talk) 09:13, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Adding to Commons:Questionable Flickr images/Users[edit]

Hi there! Would you mind adding this account to Commons:Questionable Flickr images/Users? This is likely a Flickrwashing account, they uploaded several images that are not original, no author permissions found and presented as their own work (copyright violation). Thanks!!!

Does this block cover Wikipedia or just Commons?[edit]

Here:

Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 23:59, 26 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ooligan Commons only, although the block target's account is blocked on the English Wikipedia. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 27 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Fyi, Mdaniels. An new IP block (and it was blocked in the past also.) from Wikipedia here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bbb23#An_IP_blocked_on_Commons_Wikipedia_blocked_User.

Please, see the related DR near the bottom.-- Ooligan (talk) 20:51, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ooligan Thanks for letting me know. I don't think any further action on Commons is required: a CU is not needed here, and the range is softblocked (account creation enabled) here (and I wouldn't consider disabling account creation on such a large range). Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

More duplicate uploads by A1Cafel[edit]

This was reverted by User:A1Cafel from their Talk page about many more duplicate uploads:

@Ooligan Restored, and asked for a response. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 29 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Even more duplicate uploads by A1Cafel[edit]

Duplicates of their own uploads just two hours earlier.

My edit has now been deleted without no reply. I also included a ping to you here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:A1Cafel&diff=next&oldid=806341733 -- Ooligan (talk) 04:27, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I replied here if Ooligan required. I think they are a set of images, and sometimes it may be unavoidable that a few dupes were imported. Ooligan also imported a set of images with duplicate like File:230927-D-PM193-1505 - 53218364839.jpg, File:230927-D-PM193-2325 - 53217976796.jpg, File:230927-D-PM193-1999 - 53217099802.jpg and 10 more others. --A1Cafel (talk) 04:42, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Here is the Secretary of Defense Flickr "photostream" page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/secdef/

Currently their is a double set of photographs posted by SECDEF staff. This is the first time I have ever seen a double set posted to Flickr. So, I only uploaded one copy of each photograph posted by the SECDEF staff. None of the photographs existed on Commons as they were just released to the public. The is not the same as downloading a duplicate of an existing file on commons. -- Ooligan (talk) 09:14, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@A1Cafel. Also, I forgot to mention that I always use "Upload Wizard." Although it is slow, it warns of duplicates before you upload. In the unique situation above there were no warnings, because none of these current event photos ever existed on Commons.

However, "flickr2commons" (F2C) has a poor track record of flagging duplicates. So bad that A1Cafel has just switched to using "Upload Wizard" for the first time in years. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ex-presidente_Nicolas_Sarkozy_no_Palácio_do_Planalto_2012_(1).jpg -- Ooligan (talk) 10:24, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete a version of File:Orde van Elizabeth II.jpg[edit]

Good afternoon @Mdaniels5757. Would you mind deleting this version of File:Orde van Elizabeth II.jpg, as it is a totally different picture which comes from this page ([1]). A user is reverting this picture to that version despite numerous attempts to explain the issue to them. Thank you and best regards! ;-) Stv26 (talk) 12:01, 2 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Stv26 Done + issued final warning on their talk. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:00, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your opinion about OpenRefine and its Wikimedia Commons features: two (!) surveys[edit]

Hi! You have recently tried/used Wikimedia Commons features in OpenRefine (uploading files, or editing existing files). I'm curious to hear how this has gone, also if you only briefly tried these features.

To help the OpenRefine team with future improvements, it would be immensely helpful if you would be willing to spend a bit of time filling in two surveys. (Yes, two! Each of them uses a different method and (open source) platform). Both will run until approximately end October 2023.

A first, classical, survey (fully anonymous) where you can tell us how you use the Commons features in OpenRefine, and how you (want to) learn to use them better;
A second, more experimental survey (also fully anonymous) in which you prioritize the features that matter most to you. This second survey is a bit strange in that you can 'just keep clicking'. Feel free to use it as long or as briefly as you want; you can stop any time. Please also add your own suggestions!

Many thanks! With kind regards, SFauconnier (talk) 10:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

accidentally calling your closure into question[edit]

I recently nominated File:Monica Elfriede Witt in uniform.jpg for deletion, citing your closure of this deletion discussion. I took your closure as precedent in the nomination, but it's apparently not as cut-and-dried as I thought and instead I've led to your closing being questioned. I'm not an expert on the matter, just basing my understanding on previous decisions, and would definitely like a consensus on this; not asking your to come down one way or another, but would you mind looking in on the discussion?
