Your edit

Hi, you have edited this media Maginot Line-en. I don't understand why you did it, the way it was before was more informative to me. If you can't convince me in how your edit makes it better please revert, thanks. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 18:07, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: which edit and part of the edit are you referring to? Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:01, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

This edit. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 13:03, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

@Goran tek-en: if a page has an English description, then it will show that in the previewer for all languages. I removed it and added an internationalized version since "Maginot Line in France" added nothing other than the internationalized label. I did this for all language versions of the page. I removed institution because it's not an institution. I added the other versions of the template since they're relevant. I added the category since it's relevant. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 21:45, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining, I don't get it all but it seems like you know what you are doing. But to me that the description had "in France" is adding that vital information. Not everyone knows where they where located. --please ping me-- Goran tek-en (talk) 16:26, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

File:Volkswagen_Phaeton_2002.jpg

Hi Magog the Ogre. Would you mind explaining to the uploader why you deleted File:Volkswagen Phaeton 2002.jpg? I've already tried to explain what the problem with the file's licensing was at en:WP:MCQ#New editor, image licensing and the VW Phaeton., at en:User talk:Chaheel Riens#Volkswagen Phaeton main photo and at en:User talk:Toyota Corolla E140#Welcome!, but I not sure I've been doing a good job as doing so since they don't seem to want to believe what I've posted. Maybe you as a Commons administrator will have a little better luck. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:09, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: your explanation was entirely clear and there's nothing I could add.

Either the uploader will choose to listen or will upload it again and possibly get blocked. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 11:48, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it looks as if they're going to try and upload it again. Your blocking of their account, however, does seem to have gotten their attention; so, maybe now they'll be more inclined to listen. It's sort of too bad that things ended up this way. If they would've just taken the time to carefully read through COM:L, they would've avoided all of this and might've actually be able to help out quite a bit at COM:GL/P. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:17, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

File:Richard Nixon presidential portrait (retouched).jpg

Hi Magog the Ogre. Just for reference, my attempt at cleaning up the file's licensing was based on this discussion. Some other files were also similarly modified by the same uploader, but I've seen you've taken care of them as well. Thanks for doing that. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Bot galleries

Hi there! What do you think about deleting old "Uploads by new users" galleries made by your bot? They're not useful anymore and only create difficulties for deletion and renaming of files in it. Красный ^{wanna talk?} 10:23, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

@Красный: may I ask how they're causing problems? Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:54, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Current filemoving instrument is requiring the file to be not used anywhere, to suppress the redirect (it is used when file name has obvious mistakes in it). The same with deletion policy: it requires for file to not be used somewhere. I understand the usability of this lists "in time", but few years later they don't seem to be useful. My suggestion is to delete this pages after a year (or even 6 month). Красный ^{wanna talk?} 08:46, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello

File:Bambi book cover.jpg

File:Bambi book cover.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!

Question about Ukraine Map

First of all, I would like to apologize for contributing to the edit war problem on the Russo-Ukrainian War map. Second, I would like to ask, what is the best thing to do next time? At the time I reverted the map, the edit that person had posted was unsourced. So, should I leave the incorrect map up or do something else that I am not aware of? Thanks! --Physeters (talk) 20:04, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

@Physeters: unfortunately I cannot tell what is sourced and what is unsourced. The only thing I can see is multiple people edit warring on a high visibility page, that this has been going on for weeks, that I have provided warnings on the talk and file pages, and that I needed to take drastic measures to stop it.

In this case, I would say make sure you get consensus on the talk page and then indicate as much in the edit summary. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 12:48, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Mass cleanup tool

Hi Magog, does your mass cleanup tool (edits performed by your bot) still exist? --Leyo 13:18, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

@Leyo: It currently exists but only for manually running on individual files. I ran out of time to maintain it due to crazy work hours and starting a family. I have more time now but only a few people have even asked about it. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:45, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. I still use your script on individual files regularly. I thought that the mass cleanup tool would be quite handy to use for my suggested corrections. At least your script does such corrections. --Leyo 19:24, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Possible re-upload of copyvio

Hi Magog the Ogre. Would you mind taking a look at File:Dr raghuram 4 x 6 1.JPG? It might be a re-upload of File:Dr-Raghuram.jpg which you deleted as a copyvio about a month prior to this file being uploaded. It seems unlikely to be “own work”, but there’s a claim that permission was given to upload the photo. That permission, however, seems to be from the subject of the photo, and not the photographer who took the photo. The source for the deleted copyvio is latestnewspics.blogspot.com/2013/04/for-change.html, but that link is no longer working (at least it didn’t work for me). — Marchjuly (talk) 12:11, 17 April 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,

Aslan Ashurov pics

Hi, re: the pics on the Aslan Ashurov entry, I would be grateful for your guidance. The pics come from www.ashurovmalikov.com which I created for the Ashurov malikov families. I explained to them that Wiki needs the pics copyright free and they agreed I could post these pics to Wiki, about their ancestor, on those terms (which I tried to capture in the file descriptions). How best to resolve this please? Many thanks Red Exile (talk) 11:42, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

@Red Exile: when you uploaded the images, you marked them as "own work" and assigned yourself as the copyright holder. This is definitely not correct since the images ~100 years old. Please add how you received them and what their ultimate source is. In this case, you could ask the family where the photographs come from and if they know anything about the photographer. That will be crucial to establishing the correct license. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 14:43, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

@Aurelio de Sandoval: Él de Asperger: depende de la fecha de publicación. La fecha de publicación distinta da la fecha creación.

• Si fue publicado (no creado) antes de 1972 o después de cerca de 1990, sí es de dominio público.
• Si fue publicado entre 1972 y ~1990, probablemente no.
• Si fue publicado entre 1972 y 1990, y sabemos el fotógrafo, y si éste muriera antes de 1952, es de dominio público.

Template:Original description page

Hello, about five years ago you’ve changed changed the programming of the template, leaving the comment this broke the template. At File:101VIPatSYD wb denoise.JPG it’s actually your change that breaks the function. The link in File:101VIPatSYD wb denoise.JPG#Original upload log now only works, if spaces in the second parameter are changed to underscores. That can’t be the solution for a previous working template. Could you please fix it? -- best regards, 32X (talk) 09:08, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

@32X: I cannot or it would break many more pages than it fixes. This template requires that the input be URL-encoded and always has. If you don't want to URL-encode, then you can alternatively use the raw parameter.

File deletion

Hello Magog the Ogre, I would like your advice on whether I am allowed to nominate File:Lion Crest with Paintbrush.svg for deletion. It is not educationally useful, not official and entirely fictional. The file was created out of bits from other files that are already on Commons, as a result its deletion would not be a loss. Personally I no longer wish to use this file on my user page, I would like to use something else (perhaps something less serious). But I also do not wish the file to remain on Commons to mislead anyone in future. In my opinion the quality image status for this file is totally undeserved and it was nominated without my input. Please advise on what I should do. Best Regards, Sodacan (talk) 19:15, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

@Sodacan: you can nominate it for deletion if you'd like. It is in use on various user pages so admins will be a bit reluctant to touch it. You may want to notify en:User:Niko3818 and ask him to replace it. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:48, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, I will notify the different pages and their owners, then I will nominate the file for deletion. Thanks again! --Sodacan (talk) 06:20, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Updating Module:Dir/RTL overrides and Template:Dir

Could you update the language lists for directionality:

• from Module:Dir/RTL overrides/sandbox into Module:Dir/RTL overrides? (I've fully tested it in the sandbox, including in the testcases table, but the base module is locked).
• from Template:Dir/sandbox into Template:Dir? (Here also the template is locked, it is edited in sync to provide the list of RTL languages, all others being treated as LTR)

Many new languages (or script variants) have been added in MediaWiki (including as well on translatewiki.net) since the time they were locked (and new ones are coming now, from Translatewiki.net and Wikimedia Incubator)

Such update is required for RTL languages (not all of them included in MediaWiki for now, so they have an incorrrect "ltr" direction by default) and multilingual descriptions. It is also required to avoid using costly calls to the MediaWiki parser from Lua for missing languages: we are limited to at most 20 languages for such languages (after that MediaWiki will not load language resources), so the lists also provide explicit LTR languages that are missing to avoid such calls. As well from MediaWiki templates, the template version does not call Lua for performance reasons, so the module and Template should be updated at the same time to keep the list of RTL languages in sync,

All these languages are already properly sorted (according to their native name in their own script, listing all LTR scripts before RTL scripts, then ordered by script type, and UCA collation) for use in Multilingual descriptions. verdy_p (talk) 10:39, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

@Antoniosvb: the issue is that you're uploading a copyrighted image to Commons. But Commons doesn't allow copyrighted images. In order to add the image to the article, you need to upload it as fair use to English Wikipedia, which is a different upload mechanism.

You can go here: w:Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard and follow the prompts. Let me know when you've done so and I will provide feedback. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 14:52, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you very, very kind, but you couldn't try to upload another one yourself, please. but from here it will not be removed again. Could you please upload a new one or I have to upload mine again, because maybe Wikipedia blocks me if I do it again.would you please upload another one on the Soldier Boy page. why ha me don't do it, if you could do it. thank you very much. Antoniosvb (talk) 16:24, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

save excuse me, you couldn't add an image to the Soldier Boy page, please wouldn't it be much better with the image if I do it Wikipedia blocks me, because I upload it too many times. thank you if you could do it. Antoniosvb (talk) 11:03, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

@Antoniosvg: Wikipedia was "blocking" you because you were uploading it with a false license. The file is not Creative Commons; it is fair use. You can follow the instructions I've given for uploading a non-free file. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:00, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

@Antoniosvb: you need to upload the image before you can use it on Wikipedia. Please follow the file wizard instructions I listed above. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:19, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Okay, thank you very kind. I will try to upload a new image to the article. Excuse me if I was intrusive, but I care about the article and I would like to see it fixed with everything and images. thank you very much. Antoniosvb (talk) 07:43, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

@Antoniosvb: I see you tried to follow my instructions.

May I recommend that you slow down and carefully read what people are writing? I clearly stated above that you need to upload it as a non-free file but you chose the option for free work. I will give more granular instructions:

• Click this link: w:Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard.
• Click the button which says Upload a non-free file.
• Choose the option for This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use.
• Fill out the options in the dropdown accordingly.
• Let me know when you've uploaded.

I would love to do the upload for you, but administrators do not have the time or will to do everyone else's work. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 15:07, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

save I was able to load the image on the soldier boy page. now it will remarry or be deleted. I was able to upload it. Antoniosvb (talk) 15:58, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

I uploaded the image to the article as you told me and it's very good, thank you. sorry if I was pushy. Antoniosvb (talk) 17:14, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

@Antoniosvb: it is better, but still a few issues:

• You chose the option for screenshot of a website. Neither of the two depicted is a website image; they are comic book characters.
• You copied and pasted the website into several of the fields. The purpose of showing the image is not a URL.

I have fixed both of these for you.

In general, you are going to need to take more care if you want to succeed on here. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 23:27, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

thank you very much but it is the first time for me. thank you for letting me fix the article. I will improve, thank you. Antoniosvb (talk) 07:46, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

now the image will no longer be removed or not. anyway it is my first time, thank you, for the advice given to me. Antoniosvb (talk) 15:58, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

You blocked NlkxEOoC7 as a sock of Jasmine060 (thank you!!!!), I think they're part of a broader set of socks. Jasmine060 is blocked on EN [2] as a sock of Jagdeep singh bittu who's got a pretty extensive sock list here and on EN. I've got an SPI over there for that account, plus two others (Fjjbvhag and Lkkhhbf) that you've already got tagged as Jasmine socks, is it worth retagging as JSB socks?

Appreciate it. I'm waiting on the SPI on EN to tag any pages there. I think this set of socks only has one image not already deleted and I think it's actually one they took, so maybe leaving it will clue them in on copyright. It won't clue them in on not socking - they've got enough socks to put a smile on en:Shari Lewis's face! Ravensfire (talk) 21:23, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Mass deletion of national anthem files

Hi. I was checking on the deletion request Commons:Deletion requests/File:National Anthem of Guatemala by US Navy Band.ogg. It was granted by User:Natuur12 even though my question was never answered and not even addressed. Because I am going to appeal such deletion in the appropriate page, I was checking the logs and noticed there was a mass deletion of national anthem files that you requested to be deleted. Given that I have concerns about the deletion of the National Anthem of Guatemala file, I was wondering, did you check each individual anthem to see if your rationale applied to that specific case or did you just assume that all the anthems were still under copyright law or a mix of those two actions? Thanks for your attention. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 04:00, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

@Thinker78: it really depends upon a number of factors. Just because a nation adopts an anthem doesn't necessarily take the copyright away from the creator. Was the song in circulation before it was adopted as the anthem? Was it written by a private citizen, a foreigner, an employee, or a work for hire? What are the laws and customs of the government in question?

I likely did a check on the the life of the composer and/or lyricist if not the govenrment copyright term on each of these. It's been 4 years and I do not recall anything for sure. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 23:31, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

So you claim the Fifth. Ok! ( ;) ) I would have liked to have had a discussion about the Guatemalan case. I will likely have one when I appeal the deletion. Cheers! Thinker78 (talk) 01:12, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I could really use some help

I know you don't want OgreBot edits requests here and I have already made some requests on the appropriate page to which you made a response so have made direct requests to an admin to modify User:Ww2censor/Recent philatelic uploads. However, I am still getting regular daily failure notices despite having got some exclusion made. The problem is that even when I view the logs carefully, I cannot see or find the offending categories that are flooding the bot's gallery function. Can you possibly have a look at the logs and advise if you see where the problem lies. I know you are not as active as you used to be but a week of failures is very frustrating for me, so hope you can take a few moments to give me some advise on what to do next. Ww2censor (talk) 10:22, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: sorry I don't follow. It doesn't appear you're getting flooded anymore. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:10, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. That's great there is no more flooding for now but in order to try to avoid that problem in the future I was hoping to exclude those categories that caused the flooding issue in the first place. Ww2censor (talk) 11:30, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: there are a few problems with your gallery. The first is that you're pulling in 29 (!) different categories. The second is that you're not excluding high enough subcategories. You excluded Benjamin Franklin but not Category:Postmasters General of the United States. So the next time some well-known postmaster gets added to a category, suddenly you'll find yourself in the massive category tree. You need to make sure you're excluding the highest possible subcategory that doesn't relate to your interest. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 12:38, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Ok. thanks for that pointer. As you suggest it may be useful to exclude some categories even though I would like them but making the gallery smaller may be a better idea. Perhaps even having two separate galleries would be better. I'll review and make a request on the appropriate page. Thanks again Ww2censor (talk) 13:02, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Persistent vandalism

Hey @Magog the Ogre i been working weeks to update the Vermont county maps with the new standard style accurately depicting Grand Isle but another user is constantly reverting them back to the old style. It's getting really annoying and i can't keep up so would you please put a protection lock for the following pages? The Vermont gubernatorial county election maps for the years 1992 through 2022 The us senate county maps 1988 through 2022 The presidential county maps 2000 through 2020 Just make sure they are reverted back please because the vandal might have reverted them back again. Also please note i still need to update all the other maps before the years stated. Thank you very much! Putitonamap98 (talk) 19:03, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

@Putitonamap98: I'll nuke it when I see it. May be worth a report on COM:RFCU to find sleepers.

Incorrect map on 2000 California Presidential Election

Hey there. It looks like you've accidentally reverted File:California Presidential Election Results 2000.svg to a version with incorrect election results; while I'm sure you didn't know that these election results were incorrect and the person who fixed them was a banned user using a sockpuppet, the file is protected and only administrators can edit it, so I'm hoping you can revert it back to the correct results.

File:Oregon Presidential Election Results 2000.svg

I am aware of TK's odd proclivity to revert to the old shapes format, but User:SteveTheElectionGuy2001's edit to this was a good shading correction, assuming the statistics on WP are correct, and I would like to request it be reverted. Speaking of the shapes I would like to note that Steve's ban block may have been in error; he does not seem to exhibit the same shapes-reverting behavior as Tyler although I suppose there could have been Checkuser evidence I do not know of. Still, is there any way to report this? Thanks. Duonaut (talk) 22:19, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

@Duonaut: you will need to take that up with the CU.

The problem here is this guy has been edit warring, screwing with shapes, overwriting, sockpuppeting, ignoring messages, and acting as a pure nuisance for months if not years. Frankly, it doesn't matter if he's making good edits. He mixes good (correct outcomes) with bad (distorted shapes and edit warring). I'm not going to waste my time disentangling when he can't be arsed to do it himself.

If/when he decides to accept the standard offer we can discuss things. But, as a veteran of this site, I can reasonably guarantee you that won't happen. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:49, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I've been editing a lot of politics articles and have followed Tyler's shapes antics since he started around the midterms (maybe earlier) and had a run-in with him before that because of some issue he had with a shading edit of mine. Assuming Steve is actually his alt I have no problems with his block — less opportunity for him to screw around. But I will post about it on AN just to be certain, wouldn't want an innocent to be caught in the crosshairs of this. The page I posted, though, is protected, so I'll have to ask you revert it for me if you could. Thanks for your help. Duonaut (talk) 01:35, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Found the SPI case on WP. I am convinced now the block was justified — even if it isn't Tyler said editor seems disruptive. Perhaps he just decided to use other accounts for the shapes reversion. Duonaut (talk) 01:47, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

For reference I use File:Nikon Logo.svg and File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg as my benchmarks for whether a logo can be considered public domain (e.g. gradients and flourishes don't automatically bring the sum of the parts past the threshold, in the eyes of the United States gov't).
