Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, A1Cafel!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

Just a little hint. With all due respect

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6zaCV4niKk&ab_channel=Yusuf%2FCatStevens

There are people who always manage to turn a good day into a bad day for others. And there are also people like you who make it almost impossible to take further part in this project.

Think about it. Just keep your own problems to yourself and start having a little more respect for others. The world is beautiful, and it's beautiful because there are people who are constructive. I realize this won't even affect you emotionally, but I just wanted to let you know. Hubertl 17:48, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

but rude message. // sikander { talk } 🦖 22:13, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

I see sincerity in the message. This account is still tolerated in this project only because it acts like a worm that decomposes garbage, and nothing more. It's a pity that it doesn't focus on the real garbage – copyright violations – but on images related to freedom of panorama. Being autistic like them, I understand their hyperfocus, but I would like them to realize it and start acting constructively instead of being so harassing as they are now. Please note that nominating images to deletion due to violating freedom of panorama is not and has never been the issue with this account. RodRabelo7 (talk) 07:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

@Hubertl, Modern primat, and RodRabelo7: Actually this account is bordering the problem user. We should also face the matter of users with whom interaction is difficult to impossible. -- Blackcat 09:18, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

@Blackcat - I noticed the Commons link you provided below. @Hubertl to your point, there is "history" here in a similar link for English Wikipedia, where they were indefinately blocked for "abusing multiple accounts." -- Ooligan (talk) 20:03, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
PS Moreover. It's a problem user who abused the patience of administrators. If it were for me I wouldn't have unblocked because they's disrupting the project. 12.26, 14 Ağustos 2024‎ Blackcat (A)

  @Modern primat: really? Please, tell us how, since it's hard to believe. -- Blackcat 23:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

  While I get frustrated by A1Cafel's calls on what to delete and I do believe there is sometimes bias on their part (hopefully unintentional), I do believe that A1Cafel is acting in good faith. I have seen a lot of good work from them. At least on my end I have not seen A1Cafel intentionally trying to bully or troll people. I have only seen A1Cafel make absolutist judgement calls that I would consider on the side of excessive caution rather than in the interest of Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia's mission.

Regarding your deletion request Category The Virgin of Quito Monument in El Panecillo

The fact that you claim to be a supporter of the public domain on your user page can only be a bad joke. The fanaticism with which you want to delete entire categories shows that you are actually striving for a complete privatization of public space. Please change this mendacious self-disclosure, it's ridiculous. Arabsalam (talk) 23:20, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

That's FoP issue, not Public Domain. I personally still support PD. --A1Cafel (talk) 02:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

RfC: Third-party images published by the National Weather Service

I've now reviewed 1,000 images uploaded under the rationales expressed in the {{PD-NWS}} template and requested deletion of several.

The arguments for deletion, and to keep, are now following repetitive, predictable patterns and it would greatly help all involved if we could centralise discussion and obtain some wider community input.

Therefore, I have opened an RfC to gather opinions. Apologies in advance: it's long and detailed, but is frankly nothing compared to the words and time expended by all parties up to this point. Probably the most crucial issue revolves around how we interpret a general disclaimer published at weather.gov (Q.1 in the RfC).

Your advice is greatly appreciated! --Rlandmann (talk) 14:41, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello

Since we can't be certain if his photo is from before 1963 or possibly after, and whether it can be freely used without copyright restrictions, do you think we should consider removing it? Baginda 480 (talk) 14:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

His other photo also write taken before 1963, I think I need to ask you Baginda 480 (talk) 14:48, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

@Baginda 480: Mr. Hussein Onn became a member of Malaysian Parliament in 1971, then became a deputy PM in 1973 (later PM in 1976). Assuming the photo was taken when he took the oath of office as MP of Malaysia, it was definitely after 1963. I really doubt the date that marked by the uploader. If you feel this is unfree, you can submit it to DR. --A1Cafel (talk) 15:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm a newcomer here and still learning the ropes. Could you kindly assist me? I'd be very grateful. Thank you! Baginda 480 (talk) 15:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Save urls of South Africa FoP deletions

I have one very important request for you as you are by far the largest nominator for South African Freedom of Panorama deletion requests. Since Freedom of Panorama is included in the Copyright Amendment Bill of 2018, which looks likely to pass into law (though no one knows when), I would like to know if you could please save on commons somewhere a list of all of the South Africa Freedom of Panorama deletion requests you have made? That way, when the bill is finally gazetted into law the Admins can go through the list and undelete them. Thank you, Discott (talk) 09:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

@Discott: I have added [[Category:South African FOP cases/pending]] to each ZA's FoP nomination. Once the South African Parliament passed the amended FoP law, those images will be undeleted by the admins. So no worry on that. --A1Cafel (talk) 09:52, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

That's perfect. Thank you. --Discott (talk) 09:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I learned something new

I didn't know that deletion requests need to be categorized manually, but I now noticed that you've been doing such categorizations. I've used those maintenance categories at least once or twice to get an idea of what could fall under TOO, for example. Very helpful categories. Thanks for keeping track of those things this way :) Nakonana (talk) 13:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Request

A kind request - please stay away from my Flickr and refrain from importing files the moment I release them. I see you uploaded files while I was already prepping them to upload. Thank you. I hope for your cooperation. Meanwhile, reconsider your deletion request, while you upload protest banners. Labrang (talk) 06:51, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

If you really don't want others to import from Your Flickr stream, why don't you choose a license that is forbidden on Commons, then you upload the work as your own work? --A1Cafel (talk) 09:31, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

And while I am at it - why do you upload a rather pointless photo like this - File:Preparations for government orchestrated event (53684050396).jpg? Or do you just use some automated algorythm to transfer snatch all license applicable photos into commons, regardless their actual value? Is that how it works? Labrang (talk) 07:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

That's the filename automatically generated by F2C. --A1Cafel (talk) 09:17, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

That's exactly the problem. Mass-import just because you can. Mind you, what's the difference according to you between this photo and this photo Labrang (talk) 09:32, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

I have blurred the copyrighted element.--A1Cafel (talk) 09:41, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

You did not when you uploaded it initially. Do I understand you correctly you now confess to violation of the rules that you apply to others?

Mind you - this derivative act takes away the whole purpose [message] of the banner - so please consider to have the photo deleted altogether, if that particular element makes it a copyright violation. Thank you. Labrang (talk) 09:55, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

And please, indicate what is the element in the other image that you nominated that is the problematic part? Labrang (talk) 09:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

The boots, and the icon of Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili. --A1Cafel (talk) 10:00, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

How are the boots and the face (a drawing, not a photo) protected work? And again, please delete the other photo with the crocodile and ivanishvili. This takes away the entire purpose of the banner. This is more vandalizing than helping anything. Labrang (talk) 10:03, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

And please, confess you applied rules to me (3:46) that you deliberately did not apply to yourself (3:42). Labrang (talk) 10:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

I apologize for any inconvenience. --A1Cafel (talk) 10:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

At least that is clear. And the boots and the face (a drawing, not a photo) are not protected work. They are just a private drawing similarly to wall graffiti. Wall graffiti in Georgia - we have plenty of. Labrang (talk) 10:16, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

sub reaction

""If you really don't want others to import from Your Flickr stream, why don't you choose a license that is forbidden on Commons, then you upload the work as your own work?" - that was not my message. I was preparing SOME photos to be transferred and indeed had uploaded some extra photos to my Flickr and adjusted the license appropriately - so in that case there was nothing wrong with that as such, except for the fact that I took a break from the screen and overnight you transferred the photos, while I was prepping them already in Commons with different file names - only a few hours after I had them uploaded to Flickr / changed license. This feels like prying. Also, as result, there are now some duplicates. Do you sniff Flickr and snatch any photo that you see the minute it is released under a lower license? The fact that a photo is adjusted to a lower license doesn't OBLIGE you to upload them the minute they are released. Right? Labrang (talk) 10:13, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

I uploaded those photos 12 hours after your license change, not "minute" right? Also such photos are easily search on Flickr, and it is unfair to blame me "prying" Flickr stream. --A1Cafel (talk) 10:21, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Whatever the case, it simply feels that way. Regardless how easy it is to find such photos in Flickr. I have noticed various Commons people pry on Flickr and upload whatever they can without checking the actual (additional) value for Commons. Not saying that is the case here - although your eagerness to upload whatever is free license, while at the same time also looking for whatever you can nominate for deletion seems to make you sloppy for what you upload yourself. Anyways, have a nice day. Labrang (talk) 11:02, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
