Rename[edit]

I added a rename tag to File:Alleged Luka Magnotta Murder Video View Statistical Data.png and someone reverted it. On en:wp we usually have people innocent until proven guilty. Is it the same policy here? Any good new name would work and the history may need revdel.--Canoe1967 (talk) 20:08, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Canoe1967, well, there is no doubt that this individual murdered kittens. That's bad enough. Anyway, it is a "Murder Video" as it shows the murdering (or so I am told; don't intent to view it) of that poor Chinese student and as it is clearly associated to Magnotta. In this specific case, I don't see a problem with the filename. --Túrelio (talk) 07:06, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
At en:wp they believe that "no doubt that this individual murdered kittens" and "clearly associated to Magnotta" should be decided by a court of law not us. Using his name in the same sentence as 'murder video' may be considered as finding him guilty before a trial. I don't really care one way or the other but others may have stronger concerns. I may contact the WMF and if they don't have an issue with it then I guess we shouldn't either.--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:56, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
(IANAL) Until the trial is completed, any reference to an alleged crime should be qualified, such as "alleged murder". I would have thought simply renaming to Luka Magnotta video of alleged murder, view statistical data would be sufficient to address any potential for doubt under the defamation section of Photographs of identifiable people. By the way, I have not seen the video, if it is of someone killing kittens, then it is not "murder" and using this in the title would be misleading and possibly defamatory. Murder is defined as "unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another." --Fæ (talk) 16:36, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
There are two videos mentioned in the article. One of kittens and another of a human. Neither are available to view anymore. I don't know which one this graph is about. Adding 'alleged' to the file name may suffice.--Canoe1967 (talk) 16:51, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
O.k., o.k., I've inserted an "alleged" in the filename for the kitten-killer. --Túrelio (talk) 19:55, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
I think that this discussion is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, don't hesitate to replace this template with your comment. --Canoe1967 (talk) 22:05, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I know it seems rather trivial but I think lawyers can use stuff like this to say things like: "Can't get a fair trial because commons has labeled him" type thing.--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:05, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Copyright violations[edit]

Hi. I am not a commons editor but I have noticed that this user XDBKx (talk · contribs)is apparently uploading copyrighted images as his own work and inserting them into articles on en.wiki. See User talk:XDBKx for a short list of probable violations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maunus (talk • contribs) 19:03, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

I believe that this user's name is offensive and the user is a vandal.

Does look like a vandal. Sinnamon Girl (talk) 15:46, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Category:Commons protected edit requests[edit]

There seems to be some backlog in doing those requests currently. I have some rather trivial requests in the technical section that sit there for a whole month now. Are there any specific reasons for the backlog (shortage of administrators, shortage of administrators doing edit requests, shortage of time for those administrators that normally do those request, etc.)? Or is it only coincidence that nobody has looked at it lately?

I'd especially be interested in the edit requested at Template talk:Convert to SVG#Vectordata parameter. It would be great if somebody could do it for me!

Regards, --Patrick87 (talk) 19:27, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Rillke did the "technical" ones I requested. Thank you!
There are still some requests left, though (including Template talk:Convert to SVG#Vectordata parameter). But Take your time, this section is only intended to notify you of the issue, not to urge you. --Patrick87 (talk) 21:10, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
  • On a related note, is it fair to put any request that doesn't give the coding the OP is asking for into Category:Commons protected edit requests (technical)? I get frustrated because there are currently many requests in CAT:EP that don't supply the actual code they want done. And it makes me not want to look at the rest. That having been said, I've done several over the last few days. Killiondude (talk) 00:46, 28 June 2013 (UTC) (I should note that I'm not great with coding, which is why I don't spend my resources attempting to do it when someone else could easily.)
Other editors could help with that. We could go through and flip the templates pending a code request for those that don't include the code. That would take them out of the cat until a coder adds code and flips the template back.--Canoe1967 (talk) 03:01, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

valid template ?[edit]

Are next template valid Template:Copyright notes/uk--Motopark (talk) 19:47, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Well, it's not translated yet to Ukrainian. Besides that there's nothing wrong with it that I would have noticed (or did you have something specific in mind?). --Patrick87 (talk) 21:11, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Please check the last edit in template {{City}}[edit]

The last edit caused a malfunction.
One "{" is missing in the |Vinci={{Vinci}} key.
Also in Other location the last edit is not correct at all (according to me); please substitute the paragraph with:

<!-- Other Locations  -->
  |Asia = {{Asia}}
  |Central Asia = {{Central Asia}}
  |Africa = {{Africa}}
  |North Africa|Nordafrika = {{North Africa}}
  |Sahara = {{Sahara}}
  |Europe = {{Europe}}
  |European Union|EU = {{European Union}}
  |North America = {{North America}}
  |South America = {{South America}}

Thank you! — TintoMeches, 03:22, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

  • ✓ Partially done, typo fixed but I think the Other location may require a discussion. Bidgee (talk) 03:31, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
I don't think a discussion is necessary... basically the key |European Union = {{European Union}} had three occurrences in the paragraph before, and I just asked to reduced them to one (adding the acronym EU which is pretty common to find). But I'll ask someone else if you want. — TintoMeches, 03:37, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
✓ Done -- explanation in edit summary. -- Rillke(q?) 08:33, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Please clean out of scope from talk page[edit]

User talk:Mohammad Ali Ashraf Attari--Motopark (talk) 09:05, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Canadian coats of arms[edit]

I'm sorry but I don't understand the process for contesting the speedy delete nomination of File:Canadian Coat of Arms Shield.svg. Perhaps someone could edit Commons:Deletion requests/File:Canadian Coat of Arms Shield.svg to reflect User:Trackratte's concerns? DrKiernan (talk) 21:59, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

about removing offensive images[edit]

I made a proposal at Minority removal of welcome images. Penyulap ☏ 16:27, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

flickerwashing[edit]

In picture File:Song Qian.jpg and other uploaders picture seems to be flickerwashing.--Motopark (talk) 00:19, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

I agree. File:Naomi-Scott.jpg has Getty in the exif and the same uploader states 'own work'.--Canoe1967 (talk) 01:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Should we also add that Flickr account to a block list?--Canoe1967 (talk) 04:44, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
  • ✓ Deleted and the Flickr account has been added to the blacklist[1][2]. Bidgee (talk) 05:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Category:Avion isn't for airplanes[edit]

The User:タチコマ robot is adding the Category:Avion to every airplane image uploaded. Now, in the category:Avion are approx. 700 images of planes and only 6-10 of the French (?) Avion region. I reported it to Commons:Upload_help#Avion_isn.27t_airplane_in_Commons but no one can stop it. Please:

  1. Stop the robot
  2. Remove the instruction that adds the Category:Avion. (A category:Airplane isn't needed because the images are correctly categorized as airplane type and airline)
  3. Restart the robot
  4. Delete the category:Avion from the 700 airplane-images in Cat:Avion

Thanks in advance, --Createaccount 07:38, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

I am deleting the category:Avion from the ~700 images with "Perform batch task". --Createaccount 08:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Done. Now, please stop, reprogram and restart the robot. Then, please move all "real" Avion-Images from Category:AvionX back to Category:Avion. --Createaccount
Moved them back. -- Rillke(q?) 11:19, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Worth considering disambiguating the category, 'Avion' means aircraft in a number of languages including French. If there are hundreds of images lining up for the category when there are only a dozen geographical images, well, the aircraft have it I would think. I don't know how geographic regions are disambiguated on commons, unless someone knows, I guess just go with Avion, France or something like that. Penyulap ☏ 08:25, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
That would be the Chaos. German uploaders would fill the Category:Flugzeuge, English uploaders Category:Airplanes, Spanish uploaders Category:Avion, Chinese uploaders Category:... . We have enough with the differences between US and UK English. --Createaccount 14:18, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
well, wherever the images end up, we might as well put a bit of a note on the category pages, don't you think ? Penyulap ☏ 14:46, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Done in en, fr, de --Martina talk 15:11, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
  1. the robot is still running and has uploaded 218 images to Category:Avion
  2. the "real" Avion images from the French region are disappeared, they arn't under the 218 images in Cat:Avion.
  3. the Category:Avion shouldn't be empty as stated in the {{category redirect}}. There is a region in France named Avion.

Apparently, the bot has been uploading those files for a week on request from a user and has uploaded thousands of them. Although the bot has been programmed with a categorization mistake, the other user has been cleaning up most files after the bot. For example: [3]. So, I guess there's no worry if the user is willing to continue and finish the cleanup, even if he is lagging behind the bot by a few hundred files. There's probably no need for anybody else to do anyhing other than be patient. You can keep a loose watch on the category in the next week and see if the cleanup is done correctly and if necessary contact the user. -- Asclepias (talk) 04:21, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Yes, Commons is a error tolerant system.
No, it isn't reasonable to allow wittingly the failure of a robot and later to load the last of the work on the volunteers. --217.91.99.45 10:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
I think all the photos from Avion have been moved to Category:Avion (Pas-de-Calais), this seems like a good idea, and should stop their category being filled with pictures of planes. What should happen with all the plane photos currently in Category:Avion? Is there a working group along the lines of 'plane sorters' who can sort them out? Or should they just be dumped into Category:Aircraft and let who ever notices sort them out? I would note that the problem is also occurring at Category:Jet (lignite) and probably elsewhere. Is it not easiest simply to stop the bot, sort out the problem, then restart rather than fix all this? Liamdavies (talk) 14:38, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
I like Category:Avion (Pas-de-Calais), it will be clearer to many people, as for a bit of extra work, meh, who cares. It's easier by far, and welcome work, to fiddle with categories after the images are here. It's like a miniature version of watermarks, no need to be upset when it is so easy to fix. I think if people didn't want a little tiny bit of extra work, then they'd go play computer games instead. A note about extra cat work would be put at the vp? that is, if the problem hasn't already been gobbled up. Penyulap ☏ 15:02, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Just don't worry too much about all that: russavia might have been involved in some trouble at other parts of this project, but he is very good in keeping track of this kind of batch-uploads performed for him and assigning the right categories. --El Grafo (talk) 15:37, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
The user who requested the uploads seems to be taking care of the categorization, being his own working group. You can look at the progress and at the result and see if he completes it. As long as he's expected to do the work and he actually completes it normally, there shouldn't be reason to worry. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:26, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
It seems quite reasonable as long as the people who are responsible for the upload are taking care of the categorization in a reasonable time. That's what they're doing. They haven't loaded any work on anybody. There is obviously some arrangement between bot operator and job requester to the effect that the bot uploads the files and the other user categorizes them. That looks like a logical way to do that sort of uploads, the requester being the person who knows about the topic. Their job is currently progressing. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:26, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

The robot is sending images of LAN Chile airplanes to the Category:Local area networks (LAN) instead of Category:LAN Airlines. --Createaccount 15:18, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Bot uploaders don't worry too much about category names and even less of their descriptions and notes. Only when there is no category existing that has the same name as the Flickr keyword, they look closer. Anyway, on 90 % of the files I checked, the avion/aircraft cat was an overcat. So I cleaned it out and deleted it. Note that this happens with many categories, such as Arbre, Bergen, Grave and some others that I couldn't find back. --Foroa (talk) 16:28, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
That still begs the question of why other users should be expected to clean up after batch uploaders. If you are sophisticated enough to run a bot, or even to request a bot run, you should be able to identify categories. Dankarl (talk) 16:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
It does? No one is expected to do anything aside from the bot operators whom are required to clean up. As discussed below on my post the problems will be dealt with. -- とある白い猫 ちぃ？ 01:54, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

As it has come up on their talkpage, I'd like to echo the assurances of El Grafo for those who don't know, that Russavia has a good reputation for cleaning up after himself in regards to uploading and catting. You can check their contribs, however their talkpage is key. The archive won't show much, there is so much uploading (and subsequent cleaning up) that most concerns are handled so quickly they're deleted as they come up, rather than archiving.

Sometimes programming scripts and bots can get so fiddly if you account for every possibility, that it's more economical to program for the greatest number of possibilities and then do some fast mopping up. There is a balance between how much programming keeps things neat and how little is too messy, in general people seem pretty happy with the balance this editor manages. Penyulap ☏ 20:54, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

I am running the script for User:Russavia as I have done so many times before. As mentioned he has a good reputation in dealing with such issues. I will also remove incorrect bulk additions by the bot myself. I am aware of Category:Avion and Category:Local area networks (LAN) at the moment. Feel free to point me more of them should you notice. I will fix issues once the running task is complete as much as I can and Russavia will do a second sweep after me. All files uploaded by the bot are under Category:Files uploaded for Russavia (Aero Icarus) which I will use to run find and replace scripts to either remove or replace the programmatic categories. There are a LOT of files (tens of thousands possibly) so I want to avoid dealing with the problem multiple times. I can if you really want me to do so to limit clutter on categories but bot would populate them again until the upload task is done.
Also in the future it would be a lot better if my talk page was used to discuss the bots conduct. The above discussion on Category:Avion-Category:AvionX is strange. If I were told I could have fixed it effortlessly as it is a very simple AWB find and replace task. I may not necessarily follow this thread later on (busy with other matters), please give me a nudge if you have strong objections.

I told it to upload-help and to admin-noticeboard. I didn't write to the talk page of the robot because there was at that time no so much activity. My intention with AvionX was to save the images of the region Avion before I deleted the cat Avion with "Perform batch task". I support 100% your's and Russavia's work. --Createaccount 07:57, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Createaccount, are you now happy with the robot's work ? will talking directly to the bot operator without admins intervening be ok for you ? Penyulap ☏ 10:07, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Rush request for deletion nom closure (OTRS verified)[edit]

Yes check.svg Resolved– Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 01:22, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, may I request a rush closure to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Avril Lavigne - May 2013.jpg? The image has been verified through OTRS, a process I had started before the deletion nomination, but which kicked into high gear due to a pretty weak speedy deletion request by known sockpuppet User:MyCanon—which only helped ramp up the verification process anyway. But the deletion tag is pretty unsightly now. Other related links include Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard#Avril_Lavigne and User_talk:Freaktheclown#Verifying_Avril_Lavigne_image (uploader discussion). Thanks for everyone's help! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 01:08, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
