Wiki Loves Love help needed

Hello KCVelaga, You endorsed the Wiki Loves Love photo contest on Meta. This photo contest starts on 1 February. To be able to make the photo contest more accessible and available to more people in the world, it needs translations of the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. Please help us! Go to Commons:Wiki Loves Love 2019/Translations to see how needs to be translated. (In some languages there are maybe already some translations available.) Thanks in advance!! For the international Wiki Loves Love organising team - Romaine (talk) 17:41, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Invitation to Organize Wiki Loves Love 2019

Wiki Loves Love (WLL) is an International photography competition of Wikimedia Commons to subject love testimonials happening in the month of February 2019.

The primary goal of the competition is to document love testimonials through human cultural diversity such as monuments, ceremonies, snapshot of tender gesture, and miscellaneous objects used as symbol of love; to illustrate articles in the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) projects. February is around the corner and Wiki Loves Love team invites you to organize and promote WLL19 in your country and join hands with us to celebrate love and document it on Wikimedia Commons. The theme of 2019 is Festivals, ceremonies and celebrations of love.

To organize Wiki Loves Love in your region, sign up at WLL Organizers page. You can also simply support and spread love by helping us translate the commons page in your local language which is open for translation.

The contest starts runs from 1-28 February 2019. Independent from if there is a local contest organised in your country, you can help by making the photo contest Wiki Loves Love more accessible and available to more people in the world by translating the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. See for an overview of templates/pages to be translated at our Translations page.

Imagine...The sum of all love!

SVGTranslate tool for the translation campaign

Hi KCVelaga. I was just made aware of the SVG Translation campaign taking place in India in Feb. I have been working on a tool to make it easy for users to do basic translation for SVG images in the browser without any need for image editing software. I left a note about it here. Let me know what you think. Thanks! -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 05:31, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

KCVelaga Hi! I noticed that the svgtranslate tool is not being used for the SVG translation campaign. Is there something holding people back from using it? From what I can tell, it works well for most files on Commons. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

@NKohli (WMF): Thanks for the message. I am currently traveling, I will reply to your message in a couple of days. If I don't kindly give me a ping. KCVelaga (talk · mail) 18:43, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Rollback granted

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Commons:Rollback. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Majora (talk) 18:03, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

@Majora: Thanks for granting me this. I'll definitely study the required policies, and make appropriate use of this user-right to counter vandalism on WCommons. KCVelaga (talk · mail) 18:50, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Many thanks for participating in the SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India. It had been quite a successful campaign—194 users from 19 Indic languages took part in the campaign for 38 days, and have created more than 2,500 SVG files, all of them having labels in native Indian languages.

Request for review of uploads

Can you please review my uploads? And please also see my talk page, where you left a comment. Thank you. Vaibhavafro (talk) 11:49, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Relax for now. I have asked an administrator to review my uploads instead. Vaibhavafro (talk) 23:47, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Uploads review request

You offered me help in your comment on my talk page. I plead your help now in reviewing my uploads. I am new to uploading content, so I am a bit nervous. There are only a few, it won’t take much of your time. Regards, Vaibhavafro (talk) 04:35, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

@Vaibhavafro: In your previous message you have mentioned that you have an administrator to review your uploads, so I didn't look at them. Did someone review or not? Also, don't remove talk page messages. Even if your issue has been resolved, they should be kept for historical/archival purposes. Most importantly, don't do this on other users' talk pages. KCVelaga (talk · mail) 04:12, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Understood. An administrator has approved of my uploads. Could you do the final license review please?—Vaibhavafro (talk) 15:47, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

@KCVelaga: By "approved" I meant that the administrator has told me that my uploads are ok and has did the "confirmed that they were available on that source on that date" review. You just need to do that final licence validity thing.--Vaibhavafro (talk) 00:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

By ‘final review’ I meant the review like the one in this image.—Vaibhavafro (talk) 06:49, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

You can find more details in this page. Or, if you have images taken in other countries, you can check the international options. This year's contest runs until 30 September 2019.

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)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
