Impatiens
I have added an appropriate copyrigt tag; I hope the matter is settled: the picture was taken by a colleague of mine who is more than happy with having wikipedia handle the picture's copyrights. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Complainer (talk • contribs) 08:43, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Images
Greetings,
Ive receintly seen Yout message about 2 picures lacking in the copyright tag. I was tryying to make everything in proper way and i have NO clue what to do since Im not so experienced user. I sepnd over 2 hours trying to understand the rules and what i should do and I find it NOT easy.
I would deeply appriciate HELP in this matter since I tryed everything I could. The first picture is in Danielewicz article and its entirely my own picture that i have right to use and give others right to do the same.
Second picture is in Bohdanow article, here this photo is free to use, everyone that want it can use it as the painting and the picture origin from Poland.
Thank You for Your help in advance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Camdan (talk • contribs) 12:17, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
- For the first picture you just need to add {{PD-self}} to the image. As for the second image please try to find a suitable copyright tag to add to it - Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#List_of_image_copyright_tags --Chris 13:12, 31 January 2010
- Thank You for Your kind help on this matter! I added tags as You suggested and hope that they are ok now.

Question
If I see a redirect deleted by Yet Another Redirect Cleanup Bot where the target article exists again, is there any problem if I recreate the redirect? Also, are there any other bots that do the same task? --Apoc2400 (talk) 23:22, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Serious Problems
Look, you have deleted 2 of my legit articles, I am highly frustrated with you and your Bot.
You need to stop deleting peoples articles, who are you to judge?
You are rotten, and so is your so-called legit bot.
I have no respect for you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.238.8.10 (talk) 15:36, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

New function for botclasses.php
I wrote a new function for detecting if an image already exists on Wikipedia (or Commons). It uses the sha1 hash of the image to compare against:
/**
* Gets the number of images matching a particular sha1 hash.
* @param $hash The sha1 hash for an image.
* @return The number of images with the same sha1 hash.
**/
function imagematches ($hash) {
$x = $this->query('?action=query&list=allimages&format=php&aisha1='.$hash);
return count($x['query']['allimages']);
}
This function should be added to the wikipedia class of botclasses.php. (I don't have permission to edit the file myself.)
Here is some sample code to test the function with:
$hash = sha1(file_get_contents("image.jpg"));
echo "Number of copies already on the server: ".$commons->imagematches($hash);
This function is good to check against before using the upload function. Kaldari (talk) 00:44, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- If you could let me know when/if this gets added to the botclasses file on the toolserver, it would be appreciated. Kaldari (talk) 00:47, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Done --Chris 09:29, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- Awesome. Thanks! Kaldari (talk) 18:54, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

deleted files.
Hey, maybe I didn't link these files properly, but they are unique images of a source document linked to the articles Lesser of Two and Embers (band). They are:
"File:MRR.LoT.4.jpg" "File:MRR.LoT.3.jpg" "File:MRR.LoT.2.jpg" "File:MRR.LoT.1.jpg" "File:Decibel.Embers.Cover.JPG"
Any help would be most appreciated. noodle 02:08, 22 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noodlesteve (talk • contribs)
- They were deleted because they were not used in any articles (you were given seven days to add them to an article after they were tagged for deletion). Just re upload them and add them to an article so they don't get deleted again. --Chris 08:06, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
