Limit Dates for Images

Hi,

Could you tell me a little more about how long you may have cartoon images on articles of this online encyclopedia? I was curious because you got forced to take away a lot of MLP pictures due to their expiration dates. Cbsteffen (talk) 02:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Cbsteffen

10th Light Horse Cap Badge Image

Hi :) I'm assuming this image was deleted because it was unsourced? I've sourced it, if you'd put up a note on the Talk Page or something before deleting I could've helped you find a source for it. Anyway, I don't suppose you could provide some advice to me on how I can re-upload the image since it's been taken down? Thanks. Xlh (talk) 07:33, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate rationales

Can you please not add fair use rationales to images which already have them, as you did with File:Wide Awake film poster.jpg? Thanks. PC78 (talk) 17:02, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe your concerns are unfounded. Of the hundreds of such images I've uploaded, none have ever been flagged by a bot. A rationale is a rationale, after all. Thanks anyway. :) PC78 (talk) 17:09, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

webcachedlinks

What are you doing? Where is the cached link in [1], or most of the other pages where you've added this template? An archive.org link is unlikely to rot, unlike a google cached link. Gimmetrow 21:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

What issue caused this? What's the problem with archive.org links? You created the {{webcachedlinks}}. Gimmetrow 21:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Non-free image marked "copy to commons"

[2]. I reverted it. NVO (talk) 00:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Consensus?

Hello, I see that you have made edits to numerous templates by adding the {{CommonsEncouraged}} tag without any consensus to do so. We now have incorrectly licensed imaged not only being tagged with "Images from works of this type are candidates to be copied to the Wikimedia Commons using the Transwiki process" but also being added to Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons. Please consider reverting all of your changes until there has been a community discussion on this change. As this seems to have been been done with Denelson83 I am posting a message on their page as well. Thank you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 15:53, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

If the images are incorrectly licensed , change the license, rather than moaning

about licenses which ARE commons compatible saying so.

You can also use |commons= This image is not compatible with Commons on any images which are in dispute.

Which specfic examples are of concern? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't think you understood. First, and most important, the changes you made and requested to be made have no consensus. Second, by adding a move to commons type tag to all images it includes images that are questionable. It includes image whose summary says "fair use", who summary does not say fair use but should be, that are blatant advertising, that have no source, that have no permission and so forth. All images should not be automatically moved to Commons and the tag that has been added implies they should be. Soundvisions1 (talk) 16:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Now you are being offensive.

If an image is wrong, fixit,Images get tagged incorrectly all the time, and the move to commons note say it's a candidate, not that it should actually be moved.

I will consider a revert, but I may also include this as the edit summaryUser:Soundvisions has expressed concerns that helpful edits were made without consensus and are tagging images incorrectly" as the reason :) Hmm writen in anger, Apologies are due to the other contributor.

Request for submitting Image:Foxgirl.jpg to Wikimedia Commons

If you want to put the image to Wikimedia Commons, go ahead. The fact that I can't use existing Wikipedia accounts to log into WC or other Wikimedia sites is much of a hassle, that I am not going to put anything into WC by myself. Jacob Poon 23:36, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:BEBOLD , so far you are the only contributor that has expressed concerns.

If the images are incorrectly licensed , change the licenses, or use commons={{Wrong License}} as a paramater,

rather than complain about auto tags which based on the information available to them are working as intended.

Consensus is wonderful, but when a series of edits are made in Good faith and designed to assist the project,

I feel insulted when petty minded contributors complain based on minority concerns. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Above written in anger, apologies are due to the other contributor who it seems IS rightly applying good faith here Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:BOLD is well and good in most cases, but it does spesificaly caution about making far reaching changes to heavily used templates without prior discussion, and here we are. I don't think anyone is questioning your good intentions, but I have to agree that there are some (IMHO at least) serious concerns about mass tagging images for move to Commons in this fashon (I posted some on Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/NeuRobot yesterday, but that discussion seems to have been abandoned and in hindsight it was not the right place to cover this part of the issue anyway). I'm not fundamentaly opposed to the idea of making a note on free content license templates that it's prefeer to upload/move free licensed images to Commons. I agree with the ultimate goal you are trying to achieve (get as many properly licensed images over to Commons as possible), but I feel some more emphasis on proper review and how to do it right is needed at the very least (the "bad" images are not as few and far between as one would wish). Other people may have relevant opinions too. So I would suggest you post an explanation of your proposed changes on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons (with a note to Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) to draw in some "outsiders" maybe) and let the discussion run for a while before proceeding and hopefully we can come to a consensus on what (if anything) do change. --Sherool (talk) 22:44, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

File:California map showing counties (source).xcf.gz

Mmm this image doesn't appear to be on Commons. -- lucasbfr ^talk 13:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Same for File:YRW 4575.jpg, please be more careful! Thanks. -- lucasbfr ^talk 13:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Moving to Commons

Moving to Commons. multichill (talk) 16:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

How does moving to commons work? If things images are uploaded here, why aren't they automatically included in commons? The whole thing seems complex. Thanks. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:22, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Me again! ;)

Hi, I noticed that the template on File:Roden Cutler House.jpg was broken on Commons, this is probably a glitch from the bot, but can you please check your upload from that day to see if there's a problem? The code that broke the bot was {{self|GFDL-self-with-disclaimers}}. Thanks! -- lucasbfr ^talk 19:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Please be more careful!

Hi there. The edit you made appears not to work - do you need help formatting the text? Parrot of Doom (talk) 13:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

ok mate, do you have a link for the template page, and what is it intended to do exactly? Parrot of Doom (talk) 18:59, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Guardian video

Hi, I haven't asked them, mostly because I've felt bad bothering them while they're working to develop the story. However, the video has been released into the public domain, which means, I think, we can do it without asking them. SlimVirgin ^{talk|contribs} 21:05, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Category:Fair use data overlaid images

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:Fair use data overlaid images]] to articles/subcategories that belong in it.

I tagged the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of tagging and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to remove the tag if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{db-author}}.

I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 02:08, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

File:Cassiopeia constellation map.png vs File:Cassiopeia constellation map (1).png

Please be more careful when uploading images to commons with that kind of name. If an image with the same name already exists, it's often just an other version of that image. And (1) names are not very descriptive anyway. Same for File:Bootes constellation map.png and File:Bootes constellation map (1).png. -- lucasbfr ^talk 06:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

In Sfan's defense, I actually had asked him to reupload them, even if a different name was needed, because the version currently at the Commons didn't have the proper upload log history and such that is necessary for the local copies to be deleted, because of GFDL and CC-by license requirements. Logically, what should be done is that the current copies on Commons be deleted and then the local ones re-uploaded in their place, but unfortunately CommonsHelper can't do that (even though it says it can). –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 15:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

your messages on my talk page

Please could you stop notifying me on my talk page in the German Wikipedia about the images and articles that I uploaded seven years (!) ago. I am really not able to remember what I did in 2002, so that makes no sense. Are you using a bot for this type of messages? It is really annoying. --Baldhur (talk) 08:00, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
