The Special Barnstar is awarded to a user as a gesture of appreciation when there is no other barnstar which would be appropriate.
You are doing a great job, especially GLAM and related stuff. Your contributions are highly appreciated :-). Steinsplitter (talk) 18:35, 25 December 2015 (UTC) |

Thanks for moves
editThanks for sorting out some of the file name changes needed because of the new taxonomy of the spider genus Avicularia. There may be some more, as I haven't finished working on the genus yet. A real problem is that images of pet spiders have been uploaded under names used in the trade, which are often quite wrong. But most spiders can't be reliably identified from photos so although it may be clear from reliable sources that the name is wrong, it's not possible to give a correct one.

@Micha: could you move the files that are under Avicularia in Category:Caribena, please? Avicularia laeta and Avicularia versicolor are now Caribena laeta and Caribena versicolor in the World Spider Catalog here. Peter coxhead (talk) 14:18, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hello, I have not so much time to do it at once. --Micha (talk) 15:07, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- No hurry. Vielen Dank! Peter coxhead (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Image move to Commons
editDo you know if there is a reason why de:Datei:Dr_guenter_e_w_schmidt_20101010_1.jpg is not in Wikimedia Commons? I would like to use it in the English Wikipedia page en:Günter Schmidt (arachnologist). Peter coxhead (talk) 13:49, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Hello Peter. I have moved it to Commons. Best wishes, Micha (talk) 14:16, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Expiry of GWToolset user group memberships
editThere is a proposal on the Bureaucrat's noticeboard to automatically expire GWT memberships after one year unless the user requests an extension. Please add your views and suggestions to the discussion. The reasonably informal process for getting access to GWT access will remain as is.

Important message for file movers
editA 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)
