User talk:Stifle/Archive 2

OTRS and Air France

Hello. I had not yet uploaded the pictures when you received the message. Here they are: File:Inauguration-aérogare-Invalides.JPG, File:Yvonne-de-Gaulle-Max-Hymans.JPG and File:Max-Hymans-escale-Vienne.JPG. Can you confirm that everything is OK with them? We've been through a quite complicated scheme to have them on Commons. Thierry Caro (talk) 20:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I believe User:Zureks is dealing with this now.

BTW the tag {{OTRS|pending}} is incorrect, you need {{OTRS pending}}. Stifle (talk) 08:33, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Note to self: Ticket:2009051110008099 Stifle (talk) 08:34, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

OK. Thierry Caro (talk) 09:17, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Permission templates question

Earlier today, you dealt with the File:Waterfall in the War Memorial Park.jpg, changing the "OTRS pending" to the standard template with the OTRS ticket number. I was confused about one thing, however: you replaced the {{Attribution}} with the OTRS ticket number template — don't we need to have some sort of copyright tag as well as the OTRS ticket number template? I've restored the permission template and moved the OTRS number elsewhere in the image description; if you get a chance, please look at the page and fix it if I've done something wrong. Nyttend (talk) 14:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

You've left it exactly how I should have done; my script for adding OTRS templates failed. Thanks. Stifle (talk) 15:40, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

OTRS question

Hi. Regarding this, does it cover his/her other images? They all seem questionable to me but I wasn't able to find any clear violations. Just curious. Thanks. Wknight94 ^talk 15:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

No. The ticket is for that image only. Stifle (talk) 09:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Montagnier photo

May be I'm blind, but could you tell me where exactly they added the missing credit to my Montagnier-photo as you claimed on File talk:LucMontagnier1995 065.jpg? --Túrelio (talk) 09:25, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

That'll be my fault for rushing through an OTRS ticket and getting distracted halfway. I have sent another email on the OTRS ticket asking that a proper credit be added and have reset to illegal use. Apologies for the mistake. Stifle (talk) 10:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Irish translations needed

Hi! I contact you as you speak English and Irish.

Jastrow and I are working on autotranslating {{Meta information museum}}, the meta-template we use for many museums, like {{Information Louvre}}. Could you please help us find Irish translations for every tag name:

   * artist/maker
   * description
   * dimensions
   * credit line
   * accession number
   * location
   * source/photographer
   * references
   * other versions

"Credit line" is mainly about the mode of acquisition: what collection does it come from? Did it join the collections by gift, purchase, on loan, etc.?

Thanks for any help. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 16:22, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

• OK, here you go:

  Artist/maker: cumadóir

  Description: cur síos

  Dimensions: toisí

  Credit line: There is no direct translation for this. I would use "Fuarthas ó/Cnuasach". "Fuarthas ó" means "received from" and "Cnuasach" means "collection".

  Accession number: uimhir shealbú

  Location: suíomh

  Source/photographer: foinse/grianghrafadóir

  References: tagairtí

  Other versions: leaganacha eile

• Hope that helps! Stifle (talk) 21:07, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I just create the appropriate subtemplate using your translations. Now all the museum templates should appear in Irish for Irish-speaking people. Thanks a lot! Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 08:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, that's about 4 people (: Stifle (talk) 20:12, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

OTRS

Hi Stifle,
today I was notified by HersfoldOTRSBot that no permission for File:Understanding in Xian 0546.jpg has reached OTRS. However, when I contacted the photographer, he told me (and forwarded me his original email) that he had send permission already on July 26th. To ease the search, part of his email account string is Simon.Krupp . Thanks. --Túrelio (talk) 19:23, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

It's Ticket:2009072610022774, but it's in German. German permissions queue is backlogged 49 days at the moment :\ Stifle (talk) 08:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks - better late, than never. --Túrelio (talk) 08:15, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

File:RalphIzzard.jpg

Hi Stifle -

Thank you for your approval of the above image but:

Unfortunately I'm not seeing the notice of OTRS acceptance for the image on the page. Am I missing something?

Thanks again for looking into it!

Etrangere (talk) 00:17, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

There was a notice, but you removed it! Stifle (talk) 08:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

undelete

Hi Stifle,

I have undeleted a file per this request, as I understand you will check if futher now?

Please contact me when it needs to get deleted again, but I hope it can stay :)

Huib talk 16:21, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, it is possible to keep this because the image has valid permission. Stifle (talk) 16:43, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Yay! :D Huib talk 16:46, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Patroller permissions vote

Hello, thank you for your participating in the discussion about if the patroller permissions should be enabled or not. You have opposed for the reason that there's currently no documentation about what the patrol right actually is and what it should be used for. This page has now been created at Commons:Patrol. If you still have any questions what this is, feel free to ask me. If you think the page should be improved, please let me know. As the desired page has now been created, I would be happy if you could reconsider your vote in order to find a solution that makes us all happy. Thank you. --The Evil IP address (talk) 19:20, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#Two_file_request

Hi,

I closed this request as undeleted but since I don't have OTRS access could you check the files and make sure they are okay? I did already paste the OTRS template on it, just let me know if they should be deleted or if I could help in any other way.

Best regards, Huib talk 14:30, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks; I can't check right now due to restrictions on my internet access but will look later. Stifle (talk) 08:56, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Adminship

Hey. I've been admiring your work here for a while, and I was wondering if you'd like to run for adminship. If so, I'd be happy to nominate you. Any thoughts? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I had considered it in the past, but bearing in mind I do little other than OTRS work here, I did not think I would get far. But I would be happy to accept if you think I have a reasonable chance. Stifle (talk) 08:54, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Administrator

---

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Stifle, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and Commons:Deletion requests), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons on irc.freenode.net. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators:#wikimedia-commons-admin.

Also consider joining #wikimedia-admin, the cross-wiki coordination channel for Wikimedia administrators. Ask any channel operator for an invite exemption (or anyone in the channel may /invite you in temporarily). All admins from all projects are welcome.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Thank you (: Stifle (talk) 14:42, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Good luck and congrats! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 19:57, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm a day late and a dollar short, like always. Congrats on getting adminship. Killiondude (talk) 07:34, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Crown copyright stamp issue

Your experienced opinion would be appreciated concerning a waiver for stamps under the crown copyright law in a discussion I started here following deletion nomination of 2 stamp image. BTW congratulations. Ww2censor (talk) 04:04, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Responding over there. Stifle (talk) 11:40, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
