Sorry

Hі! I apologize for my previous mistakes on the English wiki. (Здравствуйте! Прошу прощения за свои предыдущие ошибки на английской вики.) --Бучач-Львів (talk) 09:04, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

It is fine, thanks for finally doing this.--Ymblanter (talk) 12:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

User:Birrd_in_Crane

User:Birrd_in_Crane is a block evasion attempt by User:Homesand whom you blocked recently, and likewise is a vandalism-only account, now indeffed on en-wiki. Would you look at blocking them here, too, before they do more damage? Cheers. — kashmīrī 01:27, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

 Done and cleaned up a bit but there are things left which might require cleanup.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:32, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Thx! — kashmīrī 22:37, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Sure, no problem--Ymblanter (talk) 06:47, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

File tagging File:Владивостокская крепость2.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Владивостокская крепость2.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

 

Yours sincerely, A1Cafel (talk) 09:01, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

The permission was in the file. We are indeed moving to the topic ban on any deletion nominations for you.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:10, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

File:Tagh1.jpg

File:Tagh1.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!

User:Lusccasdeutsch

Back in January, you said you would indef Lusccasdeutsch if he uploaded any more "offensive [material] in the image descriptions". See Special:Contributions/Lusccasdeutsch for subsequent uploads such as File:Dysfunctional Black Women aka Attention Whores.webm and File:12-Year-Old Gets Social Justice Stabbing.webm, uploaded from YouTube without modification (at least in those two cases; I haven't checked all of them).

Warning about Conflict of interest

Hello, considering you're from Russia, I strongly insist that you will follow gidelines about any further interactions you made with users from Ukraine. This is friendly reminder, if this practice will continue there will be an action. I do insist that such conflicts should not be ruled with engaged users from Russia Federation which annexed Crimea and currently has war in Ukraine. Alex Khimich (talk) 12:31, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Ministry of Culture

Hello, you recently reverted an edit (this revert) I had made on File:Paolo veneziano Marc.jpg that added the MiBAC template. In your edit summary, you reference a Commons consensus that the law is illegal. Can you please provide a link to the relative discussion? Thank you.Venicescapes (talk

Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Italy does not mention it, it says everything where copyright expired is {{PD Old}}, and I am sure I have seen the discussions many years ago, but I do not have a direct link. Note that the template you added effectively means the image is not CC-BY-SA, it is CC-NC-SA, and is amenable for speedy deletion, as well as all other images of art in Italian museums. I will as a question at a village pump now.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:33, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Reduce Protection

Hello, Hope you are doing well. Sorry to post on your talk page, I have posted a request at Admin Noticeboard but no one answered. Actually I have upload two logos to commons (File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-ks-1.svg) and (File:Wiktionary-logo-ks.svg) which are used as a logo for ks wikipedia and ks wiktionary respectively, so the files are protected. The local community at ks wikipedia and wiktionary have raised issues about the text size as it is a bit small. Now, I have created new .svg logos and increased the size and want to upload it. Since the files are protected, I can't upload them. Can you reduce the protection so that updated files can be uploaded. Thankyou. Iflaq (talk) 15:03, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

 Done, @Iflaq: please upload asap (but not in hurry) and let me know when you are done.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:07, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

I need some time as I am not currently at home the files are in my laptop. :( Iflaq (talk) 15:27, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

The problem is that I can not just unprotect these two files, I can only unprotect a bunch of logos. Let us do it like that. I am on Central Europ[ean time, UTC+02. I will protect the page now, and once you are ready to upload let me know, I will lift the protection to let you upload the files. We do not need to rush and to finish everything in 10 minutes, but I also do not want to left the logos unprotectd for a day or longer.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Thankyou Ymblanter, I have already uploaded the files. It took a bit long as i was checking them for compatibility with logo checker. I am really thankful to you. Hope to see you soon. Thankyou once again and Good bye. Iflaq (talk) 06:01, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

File:GilenkovGI.JPG

Доброе утро! Можно попросить Вас переименовать файл на Zhilenkov.jpg. По написанию так правильно (он же Жиленков, а не Гиленков). --Kolchak1923 (talk) 06:31, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Если бы это была Ваша загрузка, я бы переименовал, а так, на мой взгляд, файл не попадает под критерии переименования. Тут правила устроены так, что, если понятно, о чём речь, то лучше название файла не трогать, например, чтобы в случае внешнего использования не было проблем.--Ymblanter (talk) 06:37, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Спасибо за разъяснения. Однако, при официальной подаче заявки на переименование, файл переименовали, правда более детально, чем я просил )). Kolchak1923 (talk) 05:35, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I have deleted whatever I could; the rest needs to be marked for deletion discussion.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:29, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

@Ymblanter- Explanation for rest of the files- No. 12 and No. 13 should be deleted as they are out of scope as they pose no real educational content (before and after correction means nothing) and also no permission as there is no reason to trust the Own work

No. 11, 16 and and 20 are portraits of near famous people marked as Own work are some very well known examples of no permission deletion. There is no reason that images should be spared. I can't say about No. 14. You can leave that... BTW Thanks again for deleting these files. It would be grateful if you deleted with what I written -- Contributers2020^{Talk to me here} 15:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

File:Elefantes africanos de sabana (Loxodonta africana), parque nacional de Chobe, Botsuana, 2018-07-28, DD 25.jpg

Why did you change the location category from Chobe, Botswana to Kruger Park, South Africa? I suspect that this elephant photo was taken in Chobe, Botswana. One reason is that I have not seen (may have missed) any photo by the photographer taken in the Kruger Park. JMK (talk) 12:47, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Because of this edit by the uploader, I assumed he knows where he took the photo. Ymblanter (talk) 12:51, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

About File:December 1983 One on One Dr J vs Larry Bird advertisement by Electronic Arts.jpg and File:November 1983 Pitstop advertisement by Epyx.jpg

Copyright assignment wasn't automatic in the United States until March 1, 1989, and a copyright notice was required for all works published until February 28, 1989.

Copyright notice was required for all works first published before March 1, 1989, subject to some exceptions discussed below. If the notice was omitted or a mistake was made in using copyright notice, the work generally lost copyright protection in the United States.

— https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ03.pdf

For works published between January 1, 1978 and March 1, 1989, there was a five year grace period to register the work in the U.S. Copyright Office. That didn't happen for any of those ads. Future copies didn't include any copyright notice either. Advertisements required a standalone copyright notice.

A general notice for a collective work as a whole covers the separate contributions that it contains (regardless of ownership), except for any advertisements inserted on behalf of persons other than the copyright owner for the collective work.

— https://www.copyright.gov/comp3/chap2200/ch2200-notice.pdf

The work needed to have a valid copyright notice or, otherwise, to be registred it with the U.S. copyright office within five years. None of those ads were registred with the copyright office and none of their subsequent copies added a copyright notice. --Lugamo94 (talk) 17:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

I will restore but will not remove the speedy tag. Ymblanter (talk) 18:31, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't think I'm allowed to modify those pages due to a possible conflict of interest. So, what can I do now? Lugamo94 (talk) 19:28, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

I would ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Ymblanter (talk) 20:05, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

File:Selamsiz house.jpg

Hi! I am Kadı, from Turkey. Your picture shows Güllü Köşk not Selamsiz house. Its official name is Güllü Köşk and if you look for Google hits, you can easily see that Güllü Köşk has more hits (Selamsiz house: 7230, Güllü Köşk: 50100). Could you check it again? Kind regards,--Kadı Message 21:20, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

There is no policy that the name must be an official name of the house. This is my upload, and I choose the name. As soon as the name is reasonable (and it is because it contains the street), the file must not be renamed, certainly not against my objection. The official name should (and must) be added to the image description. Ymblanter (talk) 21:21, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

But the picture shows the house not the street. You can give names to your files based on the policies. Kadı Message 21:25, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, and I choose the name which I find convenient. The name conforms to the policy. It means that the file shows a house on Selamsiz street, which is a perfectly acceptable and not misleading filename. Ymblanter (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

And, by the way, if I had to upload it now, I would give it a different name, but since there are external links to this file, which die when the file is renamed, I am not really willing to rename it. Ymblanter (talk) 21:29, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

But it is a historical place, not an ordinary house. Kadı Message 21:29, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Yes, sure. This is what we have the file descriptions, categories, and metadata for. Ymblanter (talk) 21:31, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I left redirect behind the process, so your external links are not going to die. Kadı Message 21:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

No, external links do not see redirects. It happened to me many times in the past.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:32, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

What are the external links? I need detailed explanation because if we don't accept the renaming request, it will be subjective and will set a bad precedent. Kadı Message 21:34, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

No, our policies in fact mandate to reject such a request. Ymblanter (talk) 21:36, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

If you show me the external links, I am going to be convinced. :) Kadı Message 21:37, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I am sorry I do not think you are in a position to demand that I search now for external links (they are somewhere in my blog). However, if you embed a file in a html environment and then rename the file you will easily see that it is not shown. Ymblanter (talk) 21:41, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I am texting with you politely but you are saying "I do not think you are in a position to demand that I search now for external links" Your reason is so subjective, you can change the codes in your blog. I am not going to text again about this file. Thank you for your time. Best, Kadı Message 21:47, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia/Commons is not a [hosting or cloud service]. Your main argument is not valid for keeping it as current name. Wikipedia and Commons do not care about your external links to Wikipedia/Commons. You may buy a hosting for it (or a free hosting service). As the uploader you may keep the name but without the explanation that you explained above. You already stated your reason and it is not valid. The file should be renamed. LuCKY ^{💬 ✒️ 📂} 11:48, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Commons is certainly not a photohosting, but the photo (as well as all about 10K photos I uploaded) are in scope, so that this argument is irrelevant. The valid reason to keep the mane is that this is my upload, and the name which I have chosen is not misleading. I am not sure why we are even discussing this here. Please go and read our policies. Ymblanter (talk) 20:13, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Your photo is definitely not out of project's scope but its title is meaningless and it needs to be changed. I am requesting another evaluation but you are reverting it. You're an administrator here and your attitude is inappropriate. I will ask this incident to administrators noticeboard. Best, Kadı Message 21:13, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Sound Logo

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

Wiki Loves Monuments 2022

Hallo Ymblanter,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2022 findet zum zwölften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Sieger 2021 – Schloss Langenburg

Vergangenes Jahr hat Matthias Süßen mit einer Drohnenaufnahme von Schloss Langenburg im Morgennebel gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf wird dieses Jahr sein Nachfolger?

Nach WLM 2022 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel die Denkmallisten in Cloppenburg oder in Oldenburg.

Wir haben dieses Jahr unter dem Motto „Klein aber Oho“ drei Sonderpreise für Kleindenkmale ausgelobt. Damit sollen Fotos prämiert werden, die die unterschätzten Kleindenkmale wie Grenzsteine oder Bildstöcke zeigen.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2022 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z ^thomas 06:12, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Schon gut, vielen Dank. Ymblanter (talk) 07:26, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Нарушение авторских прав

На каком основании вы оставили этот файл? Авторские права на него принадлежат РИА Новости. Получается, по вашей логике, если фотография опубликована где-то на свободном ресурсе, то это отменяет авторские права? С чего бы это? --Engelberthumperdink (talk) 17:47, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Если сайт презодента РФ их передаёт фотографии пропагандистского государственного информагенства под свободную лицензию, то, значит, они распространяются под свободной лицензией. Если пропагандистскому информагенству это не нравится, пускай подают на путина в суд. Ymblanter (talk) 17:59, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Как помнится, на форуме по авторскому праву в Википедии этот вопрос обсуждался и википедистам было советовано не грузить те файлы, в описании которых указаны информагенства с авторами. --Engelberthumperdink (talk) 18:06, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Это я не знаю. Можете спросить тут на форуме по авторскому праву. Ymblanter (talk) 18:10, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Protection notice ... File:WLW SheSaid puzzle logo.svg

Hello @Ymblanter

I am the creator of this file (File:WLW SheSaid puzzle logo.svg) that is urgently needed for the central notice banner about the drive. But because of your protection, I cannot upload an amended version for the banner as requested by the banner team? I don't want to upload a separate file as I feel this will cause more wrath on Commons ;-) ... any reasons for this protection action? Can you release the protection so I can upload, and then you can replace it if you are very worried about any abuse?

Islahaddow (talk) 10:27, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Jeremyb asked for 4-month protection at the relevant noticeboard, and I have taken the request because, indeed, the files included into the central notice are best full protected. I have now lifted the protection so that you can upload the new version; please take your time but when you are done please let me know, I will re-protect the file. Ymblanter (talk) 12:14, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Ymblanter, for responding so quickly - I have just uploaded the amended file, and it gave me a "This filename is currently protected from (re)uploading and can be used solely by administrators." notice - can you lift that one for the moment too please? Islahaddow (talk) 12:58, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

I am sorry I do not understand. I see that you have uploaded a new version with the comment "smaller text taken off". What you want me to do with it? It is not protected as far as I see, and the new version is there. Ymblanter (talk) 13:43, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

After you took off the protection notice, it still would not allow me to publish - citing that box above (I have a screen grab I can share) but then now it seems to have gone through. We are all good. You can put the protection back on again! Thank you @Ymblanter!! Islahaddow (talk) 15:15, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Restored, thanks. Ymblanter (talk) 15:43, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

File:Балка имена Стачки 1902 года. Конец 50-х годов.jpg

I can't see the description and I don't speak Russian so I have to use Google Translate. Does the late 50s refer to the age of the subject or to publication in the late 1950s? Abzeronow (talk) 16:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

The photograph was taken in the 1950s, but the publication date is unclear (not indicated in the description). Ymblanter (talk) 17:29, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

OK, thanks. It wouldn't be free of copyright for some time even if published around the time of creation. Abzeronow (talk) 17:51, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

I saw you blocked "Monkleonmars" indefinitely almost two years ago for cross-wiki vandalism, well, could you then undo his changes to this image?

File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101III-Ege-240-10A, Österreich, Heinrich Himmler am Rednerpult.jpg

He was obviously trying to vandalize it. -- 2804:248:FB63:600:A4FE:2A75:BA48:85E8 05:17, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

I do not see anything wrong with this upload to be honest. Ymblanter (talk) 05:28, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Here is a comparison between the current one and the original one:

The quality of the current one is worse, which might've been intentional. -- 2804:248:FB63:600:A4FE:2A75:BA48:85E8 07:43, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

I still do not see it. I guess you would need to go to one of the village pumps to get a more broad range of opinions. Ymblanter (talk) 07:46, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Why did you delete the diplomas and photos from my fathers wikipedia page ?

Hi. My name is Mihnea Crasnic and I built this page for my father Ioan Crasnic. Please note that my father is 94 years old so when he was in competitions, there was not internet etc. My father provided me with all those diplomas etc. I am not sure why you have deleted thos diplomas from his profile. All those diplomas are proof of his career ( trainer/coach, international referee,wrestling career etc.).

So , how do you think I can have website links when at that time there was no internet? Everything I uploaded there is real/correct info.Thank you for looking into this.

My fathers wikipedia page is: https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioan_Crasnic

So please r upload the diplomas, photos etc.

Many Thanks,

You would need to send the permission as detailed at Commons:OTRS (they also have a Romanian version). If they accept the permission they would undelete the files as well. Ymblanter (talk) 11:21, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 - Deutschland

Hallo Ymblanter,

Sieger 2022 – Kloster Paulinzella

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2023 findet zum dreizehnten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Vergangenes Jahr hat Radomianin mit einer Gesamtansicht von Kloster Paulinzella gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf oder welche Fotografin tritt dieses Jahr die Nachfolge an?

Nach WLM 2022 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel die Denkmallisten in Waltershausen in Thüringen oder in Fulda.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Für das einfache Auffinden haben wir eine Upload-Karte erstellt, in der viele aber leider noch nicht alle Kulturdenkmale angezeigt werden können. Das Laden der Objekte dauert dort etwas.

Wir haben dieses Jahr „drei Sonderpreise für Bilder von Friedhöfen“ ausgelobt. Zugelassen sind für den Sonderpreis auch Fotos von Friedhöfen, die nicht denkmalgeschützt sind.

Damit es ab 1. September mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Upload your photos via the new Upload-Map 

Upload your photos for the special price 

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2023 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Vorjury-Tool 

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z ^thomas 12:25, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Help with undeleting files

I was to slow to respond to your generouse offer to help me move deleted files to the Icelandic Wikipedia page. I've now gone through he painstaking task of going through CommonDelinker delete history in search of files that have been deleted because of freedom of panorama issues. It would be great if we could get these back to use in the articles where they were. Listed below:

I have this one which I can upload to Icelandic Wikipedia, but what you found is also good, take any of them since they are at risk of deletion.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:11, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Please upload yours, it's the best one out of all of them. --Steinninn ♨ 19:54, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Apparently I do not have enough rights there (less than 10 edits). I uploaded it on Commons, File:Reykjavík Norræna húsið seen from Sæmundargata.jpg, and I will appreciate if you could transfer it there. Thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 10:57, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Sure, It will take quite some time to undelete these. I will make link here to undeleted files; can you or someone in Icelandic Wikipedia transfer them there? If this is the case, just mark here transferred files so that I can redelete them. Ymblanter (talk) 16:47, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Sounds good. I'll transfer them myself and let you know. --Steinninn ♨ 17:10, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

I've converted the two lists into links so that we can track what has been undeleted and redeleted. Let me know when you continue to undelete. --Steinninn ♨ 10:37, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I will probably be doing this by small portions every day. Whatever has been transferred, I will remove from the list. Ymblanter (talk) 17:29, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

The files get redeleted in about 2 days.--Ymblanter (talk) 17:57, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Just a heads up that I've transferred 5 images. --Steinninn ♨ 13:07, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

My apologies, I had an emergency and did not have access to my account on Commons for four days. I will proceed now with the next five. Ymblanter (talk) 18:33, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help. I've added the architekt info to the three images remaining. --Steinninn ♨ 11:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I will have to delete all three of them, but I will add the undeletion year, and they will be undeleted in due time (the lighthouse already in 2028). Ymblanter (talk) 11:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

I could use some Russian-language help

My Russian is minimal for reading and basically nonexistent for writing, and I could use some help. I have no idea whether User:Apryatin.Y knows any English; I also have no idea whether they monitor anything about their account, which Special:Contributions/Apryatin.Y they used entirely on one day to upload some rather interesting images, but whose copyright status is unclear. I believe that all the relevant photos are now in Category:Konstantin Viktorovich Apryatin.

I presume they are related to Konstantin Viktorovich Apryatin, the subject of these photos. I give little or no credence to the claim of "own work", but the uplpoader might well own some or all of the relevant copyrights. I suspect that a Russian-speaker has a lot better chance of sorting this out than I do.

Thanks in advance for any help. - Jmabel ! talk 04:42, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

I have written to them in Russian; let us see first whether they would respond. Ymblanter (talk) 06:18, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
