Re:Creator:Elizabeth Siddal, and thanks

Ok, these are the last in which I put the warning (when you have free time): [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
I hope is good for you :-) --Micione (talk) 06:18, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: I had to ask, lol. J/K, I will look into it... might take me a bit, I tend to have lots of tasks 'in progress', unfortunately. Depends on what I am either 'in the mood' for, or 'not burned out' on at a particular moment. Revent (talk)

Is normal, do not worry, there's no rush. :-) (I hope to write right, I'm using Google Translate) --Micione (talk) 06:51, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: All but one (who does not have a Wikidata item, apparently) done, using the nifty tool. :) Revent (talk) 00:03, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

They are on the category pages, but need added to the actual file pages still. Revent (talk) 00:04, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I'll add them when I pass. I've already added many as red links. Thank you! --Micione (talk) 03:41, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: I've added them to a couple of categories, I'm making sure to correct the licenses (i.e. {{PD-Art|PD-old-auto|deathyear=xxxx}}) as I go, but if you're going to be going over them, that frees me up to futz with other things. (lol) Revent (talk) 03:43, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, always I correct licenses when I edit a file :-) --Micione (talk) 03:50, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Laborde's painting

Hi Revent, you recently added a deletion request to Laborde pombo.jpg

Laborde's artworks are in public domain

please check autores.uy/node/266 a site of Creative Commons Uruguay.

Please let me know if it's necessary to change the licensing information to keep the image online. Best --Elulene (talk) 11:59, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

@Elulene: The DR was not the result of a copyright issue. The image was flagged for speedy deletion as a duplicate, as a higher resolution PNG version had been uploaded. Since it wasn't actually a 'duplicate' (as a different file type) I converted the request to a DR. The only outstanding 'question' there is if File:Laborde pombo.jpg should be redirected to File:Guillermo Laborde - Retrato de Luis E. Pombo.png as 'redundant'... I think it's more likely that someone will overwrite the JPG with a higher resolution version, created from the PNG. Revent (talk) 15:24, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

re: Whoops

No, I'm not a bot!!! Anyways, thanks for pointing me toward more correct templates, sometimes I get lost and tend to use always "duplicate". In my defense, I've to say that the difference is sometimes subtle. Cheers, --Ruthven (msg) 19:28, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

@Ruthven: Yeah, admins have a bit of an advantage, as the 'Process Duplicates' tool will overlay the images, or blink them, at the same resolution. Makes color differences, slight differences in framing, or printing 'bleed through' much more obvious. Revent (talk) 19:36, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and advice

Hi Revent,
Over at the English language Wikipedia (where I'm - hard to believe, I know - an Admin) I sort of specialize in speedy deletion assessments.
Thanks again! --Shirt58 (talk) 10:08, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

File:Decurtins - Rätoromanische chrestomathie, II.djvu

I found your edit of File:Decurtins - Rätoromanische chrestomathie, II.djvu (removing Google header); I'm going to review it, since in Vol. I we found a number of scanning mistakes (mostly duble scans of the same page), so don't matter about. --Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 17:46, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, and no worries on my part. I'm well aware the Google Books scanners often messed up. I didn't bother to go back and re-add a blank page to that one since it wasn't transcluded yet. Revent (talk) 18:34, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Consider the idea of adding a copy of book frontispiece instead of a blank page: main File page would gain in quality and in informations. I'll review / reload as many djvu files with Google header, used by it.source, using this idea. Really I too am disturbed by that Google header page, but there's so many open jobs into it.source, and time is always lacking. --Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 18:40, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Probably even a better idea, yeah. Will do, in the future... I was not 'specifically' hunting those (I was actually going through ones in the "Book template with implicit creator" and making it explicit, as part of metadata cleanup) but will add doing so to my future 'to-do list'. Revent (talk) 18:43, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

DAVA

Hello. Can I get you to stop by Category: DAVA Foods. There are a few files I want deleted. In addition, there are a few files to be moved. I have written a small text on the images to be deleted. --Sorenhk ^{(talk // contributions)} 21:09, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

@Sorenhk: Looking now. Revent (talk) 21:10, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

@Sorenhk: Renames done, new uploads deleted as requested. File:Hedegaard Foods logo.jpg, because it's old, in use, and not an exact duplicate (since it's a different file format) isn't a speedy, converted it to a DR. No real reason, IMO, for it to not go away as requested tho, just has to sit in the discussion queue. Revent (talk) 21:26, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

@Revent: Thanks for the help. I have written my comments to delete the discussion of Hedegaard Foods logo.jpg. --Sorenhk ^{(talk // contributions)} 21:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Abela Sao Domingos

• Thank you very much for your comment. The second image was uploaded by mistake; please check the source of the first file and then the source of the second file. The descriptions are in Portuguese, and translated they say: "Sines Railway - building of the Abela - S. Domingos station" (first one) and "Sines branch line - building of the S. Bartolomeu da Serra station" (second one). But the photograph is the same, only slighty changed, what means that one of the descriptions is wrong. As you can see by this photograph, the São Bartolomeu da Serra train station had the higher section on the right, while Abela - São Domingos had the higher section in the left, which means that the photograph is from Abela and not Sâo Bartolomeu. I shouldn't had uploaded the second image, but I was mistaken by the wrong description, and both buildings are very similar anyway... Regarding the quality, both photographs are equal, but the second one is slightly bigger, so I suggest the deletion of the first file and the renaming of the second one. If you need some more information, please don't hesitate to contact me again. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards, -- Ajpvalente (talk) 11:09, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Ajpvalente: Lower-resolution image deleted, higher-resolution image moved on top. I also added a note at the end of the description about the misidentification, and changed the date to "before" the earlier publication (since we don't, apparently, know the exact date of the photograph). Hope that suits. Thanks for making it clear, it was actually the differing dates that originally made me go "Huh?". Revent (talk) 19:52, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you very much for the change, and for the clarification in the description. Best regards, -- Ajpvalente (talk) 20:51, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Additional category for some images

Hi Revent, I see you've uploaded a heap of #TJ15 images...awesome! I've some cleanup of some of these images, and just thought I'd let you know about one additional category to add if you can (amended for country). Cheers and keep up great work Sadrdrunk (talk) 16:46, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

@Sadrdrunk: Thanks, someone actually asked me about doing it on IRC, and it seemed pretty obvious... there are images of many subjects we were missing. (Albania has paratroopers? Really? ) I'll use that category as well... I've been trying to plow through everything. Some other cats that might be useful (if you are looking at the whole set)...

* The Rio Tejo river crossing - the castle visible in the background of some images is the Category:Castelo de Almourol (see File:Air Defense Battery Watercourse (Rio Tejo) Passage, Trident Juncture 15 (22326926209).jpg for example)

* I created a new category for Category:Campo Militar de Santa Margarida in Portugal.

* Ditto for Category:San Gregorio National Training Centre near Zaragoza, Spain.

* Ditto for the Category:Chinchilla Training Area near Albacete, Spain.

* Category:Hans-Lothar Domröse (the Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum commander) has his own personal category.

There are, I'm sure, others I'm mostly letting other people (there are a few working on it) identify the 'equipment', and just trying to make sure the people and places, and dates are also done. Thanks for helping. Revent (talk) 20:07, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you

... for correcting my mistakes. I was still checking, how to do that :) --Nicola (talk) 13:36, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

@Nicola: You're welcome, no big deal. I just happened to notice, and it's the kind of things I can sort out a few at a time while working on something else. Revent (talk) 13:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

As far as the change itself, in VFC you can do a "custom replace"... replacing the template instead of appending it would have prevented it from being doubled. Revent (talk) 13:42, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. I used the VFC for the first time and I am not acquainted yet to the different possibilities. But I am learning :) --Nicola (talk) 15:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

@Alex brollo: No problem, it's appreciated. I tend to get emails, eventually, if someone leave me a message on another wiki, but this is a better place to contact me. Revent (talk) 12:24, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Template:Exhibited at the Salon

Hi! There is an error in your last edits, see File:Antonio Cotti - Dante a Verona.jpg. --Micione (talk) 08:58, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: Looking. Revent (talk) 09:00, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: Perhaps I'm being dense, but I'm not seeing it. The display of the 'exhibition history' is still "Salon, 1879, Cat. no. 760 Commons-logo.svg", and neither the doc subpage or the "Salon de peinture et de sculpture" and "Internationalization templates using LangSwitch" are showing on the file page. Revent (talk) 09:05, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: perhaps you mean that the image should be in Category:Salon of 1879? That's not populated by the template. Fixed, tho. Revent (talk)

No, I read: "Salon, 1879, Template:Cat.no. Commons-logo.svg", and "Template:Cat.no." is a red link. --Micione (talk) 09:22, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: Indeed strange, as I do not see it as a redlink. {{Catno}} exists, and is a redirect to {{I18n/catno}}.... that template uses {{Temporary Exhibition}}, and I recently made this edit there, which might be the issue... it was intended to make the internationalization template the fallback. What language are you set to? Revent (talk) 09:31, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: Redirecting {{Cat.no.}} to {{Catno}} would presumably fix it, but I rather hate that as a solution. Revent (talk) 09:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

The problem is the language: in Italian (my language) not works, in English works. --Micione (talk) 09:42, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: Did Revision of Template:I18n/catno fix it? Unfortunately, you might need to make null edits to {{I18n/catno}} and {{Temporary Exhibition}} to force the change to propogate. Revent (talk) 09:49, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Done, not works. Try to set Italian language, can you see the red link? --Micione (talk) 09:58, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Micione: Ok, figured it out... bug in {{Temporary Exhibition}} where I added the default, extra pair of curly braces was causing the output of the translation template to get parsed as a template. Looks ok to me in Italian now. Revent (talk) 21:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

It's ok for me too, thank you. --Micione (talk) 22:31, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

ANU

In the light of Colin's posts to my talk page, including multiple allegations rather than an apology for his unacceptable use of anti-LGBT language to cause offence and upset, I invite you to reverse your close of the discussion of his behaviour on ANU.

Note that I'm AFK for most of today. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 13:43, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Fae: I would agree with a statement that Colin tends to express his arguments in ways that offend people... he's done it to me, and I've jumped on him for it, though he didn't seem to get what I meant. What I would disagree with is saying that he was actually making a 'anti-LGBT' attack... he was just using an astoundingly ill-chosen example. I would not object to, or close, a discussion about how Colin argues 'in general', though I don't think it would go anywhere either, but the discussion you started was simply going to explode into a quite nasty, and personal, fight. I really don't think Colin uses ad-hominem 'attacks', but he does tend to use statements of personal opinion in a way that is essentially 'ad hominem' to some degree. I think that if you want to 'go there', you would be better off to start a discussion about his debating style in general, than about the single comment. The discussion you started was essentially an invitation for people to 'get away with' insulting him, though I don't think you meant to start something like that. Revent (talk) 22:15, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

@Fae: I just sent you an email. Revent (talk) 22:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm disappointed that a comment which is clearly "It should be no more acceptable to be bigoted, dismissive and rude towards people who are Wikipedians than it is to be bigoted, dismissive and rude towards people who are gay" should be taken as an LGBT attack. I should have known that Fae would take my example wording the wrong way, whereas a friend who actually knew me would take it at face value, as an example of how someone else might formulate an unacceptable insult. Just like none of us should get angry with newscasters for repeating hateful UKIP statements or quoting the lies of the Tories :-). This was insensitive of me and I've apologised for that. But to continue this, and to bring up past issues (which you have already accepted were unfounded allegations) is disturbing. User:Fae, I'm formally warning you that if you pursue your unfounded allegations of homophobia (lets cut to the chase and use that word, as you did on your talk page) then I shall regard this as harassment. Not in the legal, criminal sense, let's be clear, but in the totally unacceptable on this project sense. And I shall then pursue an appropriate response, to the highest level if necessary. -- Colin (talk) 09:52, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Calling out anti-LGBT or homophobic language is entirely different to calling someone a homophobe. By all means consult a lawyer who can bill you for an explanation, though I suspect your bending the facts this way is deliberate manipulation. Your continued hostility, threats and allegations about me in response to my complaint will put off any other LGBT contributor making similar complaints about poor use of anti-gay language. For that reason your hostile campaign is shameful, when you could have simply recognised your behaviour in injecting LGBT hateful language into a discussion where it was completely irrelevant was your problem not mine. As you continue to hound me, the target of your abuse, the hole you dig gets deeper. --Fæ (talk) 10:05, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have 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 them, 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!

Your "personal note" on my talk page

As you have mentioned your issues with my "method of argumentation/debating style" in several places now and noted you consider some Community response might be justifiable, it seems reasonable for me to attempt to fix that issue. However, as I think you suspect, such a community discussion is very likely to result in more heat than light, with people taking an opportunity to just be mean rather than helpful. I haven't really understood the issues so far, but am open to trying. I would of course favour this to be done in private rather than a public wiki. So if you are interested then email me and I'll do my best to be self-critical rather than defensive. -- Colin (talk) 14:01, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

@Colin: I'll drop you an email later today. I'm more than happy to have a private conversation about it, and you're quite correct that it would be better that way. Revent (talk) 14:10, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

My Question

Do you know if many flickr users use cc0 as I asked above? Thank You. --Leoboudv (talk) 01:40, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Re:Flickr, CC-0, and license review

I already followed discussion arround the PD-mark issue, and as I know, {{PD-author}} is not the right license tag. So, how can We proceed in addition of asking to the Flickr user? --Amitie 10g (talk) 07:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

@Amitie 10g: Sorry if that came across as annoyed, but... I did not know if you had been following the other discussion, and, honestly, digging back through the log of the review bot, and finding out just how many people have been changing the PD-Mark to CC-0, and how often, has been wearing on my patience. Not that I'm trying to mess with anything other than where the license was switched to CC-0, but it's way too many (and was not just you). I really, as I've mentioned elsewhere, don't think anyone was really acting in 'bad faith' doing it, but it was not the right answer. As far as how to actually deal with them, other than asking the authors to change what they picked on Flickr (or send permission to OTRS) I don't really know a good answer... it something that's going to have to be sorted out by the community, I think. Unfortunately, it's hard to think of anything other than deleting them that's not going to create something like the URAA drama. (I don't mean the question about 'old' URAA uploads, I mean the fact that people are 'still' uploading images that are obviously copyrighted under the URAA, and sometimes actually flagging them as 'not PD in the US'.) We need a solution that does not result in people that 'don't like it' just using PD-author incorrectly instead, and I am somewhat concerned about that being the result. Revent (talk) 08:14, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

As I mentioned in the Village Pump, I'll contact to the Flickr users to ask for changing the license if possible. I think that the DR is not the best way, therefore, keep a hidden category with these files should be enough to start contacting the Flickr users. --Amitie 10g (talk) 08:21, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

@Amitie 10g: They should, actually, be ending up in Category:Flickr public domain images needing specific licenses, as that is added by the {{Flickr-public domain mark}} template. Revent (talk) 08:26, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
