Why did you delete my abuse filter report?

Without any comment? Once more: The filter hindered my deleting a spam link from File:Bolivian vizcacha.jpg (click the source link to find out!) First, I try to help to clean wikimedia. Then a filter runs wild. Then I try to help once more to report this error. Then you come along and delete my report without any comment. Is this the right way to deal with people who try to help?? 80.187.74.0 08:34, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your report was quite nonsense. I can't any spam on the history of this file. Yann (talk) 09:24, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Did you read what I wrote? There is a viagra spam in the file description, NOT in its history but in its source link! And the filter prevented me from deleting it! And my report was NOT nonsense, I filled out all the required fields. Click the link given in the file description www.alexandrebuisse.org!!! 80.187.74.0 09:36, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hmm. That link was added by the uploader in 2012, and all uploads by this user contain this link. The original link is also a bad site. Now this user didn't edit here since 2017, so I wonder what happened to this user. I cleaned them all. Yann (talk) 09:46, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
May be or not. Resolve it or not. The real problem is that the filter did not allow to change that, which I reported, and that you deleted my report without comment and without even understanding it, which is some kind of vandalism. You did not even apologise. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.187.74.0 (talk) 09:54, 26 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

IP 112.206.107.90

Hi Yann. IP 112.206.107.90 is back doing the same stuff that led to them being blocked per COM:AN#Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of the Torres Strait Islanders.svg. I don't think the IP is going to be stopped by any further warnings or short blocks. Perhaps a longer block (at least until the DR has been closed) or protecting both the file's page and the DR is the only thing that will work. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:18, 30 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

RCU contre "Russian Onest"

Bonjour Yann

J'ai lancé une RCU contre "Russian Onest" vs "Hom Ling Zum" [1]. Mais vu l'ancienneté des dernières contributions de "Hom Ling Zum" (au delà des 3 mois d'archives) je pense qu'il sera difficile de trouver un lien entre eux deux via leurs IP mais peut-être que la RCU fera ressortir d'autres fonés récents. --Poudou99 (talk) 20:37, 6 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Photos nominated for deletion by User:Εὐθυμένης

Hi Yann

The above user has now been blocked for excessive and dubious tagging of images for speedy deletion, including File:Flag of Lusaka.gif, which I specifically contested. This image had a valid licence attached, and at the very least it should have been subject to a standard deletion discussion. Please could you reconsider this one, and also consider undeleting any other images tagged by this user, as there appear to be a lot of issues here. Thanks Amakuru (talk) 13:40, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yes, I blocked this user for creating speedy deletions, even after he was warned not to do so. However most of the files he tagged are probably copyright violations. Par example, there is no free license for File:Flag of Lusaka.gif, and such a complex rendering certainly creates a copyright. If some Commons users recreate the flags, they would be OK, but copying the files from another website is not. Yann (talk) 20:55, 8 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Wrong license

Hi Yann, license changes like this one are not appropriate. Firstly, {{PD-Webb}} refers to a copyright statement that applies exclusively for images published at https://webbtelescope.org/ but you will find this image nowhere on that site. Next, you are arguing in your edit summary that “[t]here is no doubt that the image comes from NASA”. This is not the exclusive work by NASA. The credit line names Judy Schmidt who is neither an employee of NASA, CSA or ESA but a volunteer who creates images from raw data in her free time, see here for more info about her. Hence, the CC-BY-2.0 license is correct. I've fixed this. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 07:01, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK, thanks. Yann (talk) 13:43, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

False claim of Sockpuppets

Dear Yann, I read this message about sockpuppets by user eien20. However, those other accounts are not mine. So it is wrong to falsely claim otherwise. I only use Artanisen on Wikipedia. Sometimes I use Wikipedia as a guest. Please compare the IP addresses, because these are most likely different. What can be done about this? -Artanisen (talk) 14:35, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Yann, I've been on Wikipedia for over 17 years and didn't have such an issue before. I didn't know what sockpuppet was exactly until I read the false allegation. Can you please check and remove the category? Because I sincerely have nothing to do with those accounts. -Artanisen (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

hello Yann,

hello Yann,

may i ask why you removed this file: Former flag of Wajir County.gif? was there a takedown request? the flag is of a government body and the use of it on this site is clearly educational. many places/public bodies are quite happy to receive attention via their flags. in fact, that interest is driving flag adoption in many cases. Shorepine (talk) 04:29, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Shorepine: Works from government bodies are not automatically in the public domain. It depends on the body and country of origin. In addition, the original design may be in the public domain, but not the rendering. File:Former flag of Wajir County.gif is a complex design, it is copied from another website, so it is certainly under a copyright. Please note that SVG should be used rather than GIF. If you recreate it yourself in SVG, it may be OK. Yann (talk) 07:02, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
the existence of a copyright means the owner retains the right to prohibit certain uses; it doesn't imply that they can be assumed to have the interest or desire to prohibit any use of their ip by others. that would be silly. musicians are quite happy to have their music played on the radio, at weddings, even political rallies. when they are not happy with certain uses, they issue a cease and desist order. there is no presumption that any use by others is prohibited. they retain the right to determine what uses are permitted and which are not - subject to certain legal restraints on even that right, depending on municipal law. so why assume government entities are interested in prohibiting the reproduction of their images for educational purposes? or that they even can, legally? Shorepine (talk) 08:03, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Shorepine: Copyright doesn't work like that. Radios have to pay royalties to musicians to play their music. Other uses may be fair use, but that's not allowed on Commons. On Commons, we need a free license, allowing any use for any purpose, including commercial ones. Nowadays there is a copyright on almost everything, and it is the uploader's duty to show that a file is within Commons acceptable licenses. Yann (talk) 08:52, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
no, musicians decide if the radio has to pay or not. that's how copyright works. my understanding is that it is okay to upload to commons with the permission of the rights holder. some expressly grant this, even if within certain limitations. Shorepine (talk) 19:04, 18 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Demande de suppression de Françoise Huguier

Bonjour Yann, la photographe Françoise Huguier dont j’ai réalisé le portrait en août 2022 au Festival Visa pour l'Image File:Françoise Huguier par Claude Truong-Ngoc Août 2022.jpg m’a enjoint, sur mon compte Instagram, de retirer sa photo.

Bien entendu, cette photo n’a pas été volée, mais réalisée avec son accord lors de l’exposition des ses photos au cours d’une séance de pose à l’issue de laquelle Mme Huguier a approuvé la photo.

Je l’ai donc invitée à contacter OTRS (permissions-commons-fr@wikimedia.org) afin de formuler une demande motivée, ce qu’elle a fait.

Par pure courtoisie je ne m’oppose pas à cette suppression. Aurais-tu la gentillesse de voir ce qu’il est possible de faire. Avec mes remerciements, Claude Truong-Ngoc (talk) 18:15, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Blocked as Iranian / Muslim

I really can't see this as a good block.

This is an international project. We have enough difficulty explaining the bulk porn hosting policy to many people in Europe, let alone the US Bible Belt. To have an Iranian IP CfD a couple of the porn categories is not vandalism. They're wrong (a CfD is not appropriate here, on any level), they're out of consensus on the broad porn-hosting question (good luck changing that one!), but this is not vandalism. We have to recognise valid cultural differences and not just shout it down as "vandalism", let alone blocking the account. Why would there ever be any need to do this after just a single action like this? Maybe they are a vandal, maybe they are just trolling (it happens), but we can't (per AGF) act on that basis, from a single event like this.

Maybe French WP outreach projects are different, but I have to work in the UK and this really doesn't help perceptions of Islamophobic bias in WMF, or giving me yet another "anti-Islamic action by the same old Western media" I have to try and explain or make excuses for. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Whatever is the source country, we don't want people not knowing our policies to create frivolous DRs. We can't have different blocking policies for different people. If we would start this slippery slope, we would go to disaster. Anyway IPs will soon be hidden, so it will be moot quite soon. May be we need another blocking criteria, but whatever you want to call this, this is an appropriate block. And if it were an account, some warnings before a block may be useful, but it doesn't work for IPs. Actually, we should disallow IPs creating DRs, and many other edits.

I'm new to wikimedia and the copyright, so I'm hoping that you may assist me. I originally got the image from http://www.cppcc.gov.cn/zxww/2023/03/11/ARTI1678473252987660.shtml and I assume that the copyright is owned by the CCP. I do understand that if it needs to be deleted, but I do think it would be a shame, since the other image used was from the 1940s and this Tibetan has been ruling Tibet since the Chinese invasion of Tibet, whilst this is a modern version.

C'est pourquoi je préfère vérifier les faits plutôt que de faire une demande de restauration. Le fichier avait été téléversé par l'utilisateur Nesnad le 1er septembre 2019. En tant qu'utilisateur non-administrateur, je dispose seulement de quelques indices qui me permettent de supposer que quelqu'un avait peut-être enlevé la licence vers le 16 mai 2020 et que j'avais peut-être révoqué cette modification le 17 mai 2020 et que finalement le fichier a été supprimé le 31 mai 2020 pour cause «d'absence de licence depuis le 19 mai 2020». Je souhaiterais simplement vérifier 1) si le fichier n'avait effectivement pas de licence et 2) s'agissait-il de ce fichier de flickr : [2] ? Se pourrait-il que le fichier ait été supprimé seulement parce qu'il a une «public domain mark» apposée par l'auteur ? On sait que cela ne se fait plus depuis l'été 2020, peu après la suppression de ce fichier. Accessoirement, les administrateurs disposent-ils d'un outil de recherche qui peut rechercher dans les pages des fichiers supprimés, par exemple pour rechercher si des pages supprimées contenaient l'expression «gvilleneuve28» ou «120224247@N08» pour savoir s'il y a d'autres fichiers supprimés qui provenaient du même compte flickr ? Merci par avance. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:38, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deliberate attack on honest work

Hello,

I am certain it’s a mistake, in no way did I violate any copyrights, my work is based on older files but it included corrections of ahistorical toponymy and minor placement mistakes. I genuinely appreciate your effort, but I truly am trying to do good work, some maps presented are low quality, hastily thrown together with little attention to accuracy in accordance with period maps depicting the area. If there is a better way to do it please do let me know, I’m not so good with technology, my students helped me to edit, I hope it can all better resolved, and that you can help me. Thanks in advance.

File:Serraul-Italie-1984.png

Bonjour Yann,

Je suis très surpris de cette suppression immédiate que tu as réalisée hier, sans aucun moyen pour moi d'intervenir ou apporter des explications. Le crière retenu serait un problème de droits mais cependant, comme expressément indiqué par les modèles relatifs aux PD-Italie, cette photo ayant été prise en Italie, c'est bien le droit italien qui s'applique. Que ce fichier soit distribué ou diffusé par Getty Image ne change rien. Les mentions ont été respectées. Rappel du principe PD-Italie que j'ai pu faire valider par Racconish : la photo, qu'elle soit recadrée et retouchée ou pas, a été prise en Italie avant 1996. Les pays qui ont ratifié la règle du plus court terme, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_the_shorter_term sont donc inclus (France comprise, par exemple).

J'ai sollicité Racconish pour qu'il intervienne.

Bonne fin de journée. Tisourcier (talk) 14:20, 8 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Rebonjour Yann,
Après un contrôle précis et surtout l'avis éclairé de plusieurs "experts", je suis OK pour la suppression car effectivement subtilité US, l'année 1989 est justement cette du pivot qui restreint les droits.
Par conséquent, pourrais-tu également supprimer celle que j'avais prévue comme remplacement ?

Lata Mangeshkar

Bonjour Yann,

Un français (breton?) qui parle hindi? Faudra m'expliquer

I uploaded a Lata Mangeshkar photo, the one used by The Economist for her obituary.

[3]https://www.economist.com/obituary/lata-mangeshkar-was-the-soundtrack-of-the-newly-independent-country/21807600]

Nearly a year ago, you asked me to justify having the rights to use it. I'm not too well versed with all this so kinda abandoned the initiative.

Can you help me out? It's from a 1942 film (Pahili Mangalagaur) and I'm sure it is in the public domain

Undeletion edit summaries etc

I noticed that File:HMS Llandaff, 1969 (IWM).jpg has been undeleted, presumably because Crown Copyright has now expired, which is great, and I have no problem with the undeletion of the photo, but I noticed that when you removed the deletion discussion tag from the (undeleted?) file, that you used the edit summary "(Kept per Commons:Deletion requests/File:HMS Llandaff, 1969 (IWM).jpg)" which is misleading because it points to a discussion where the conclusion was to delete, and there isn't any explanation of why it was undeleted.

  • "unsimilar to the other pitctures of this user take in the ground" [FR : différent des autres images prisent au sol par l'utilisateur en question] (sous entendu les images prises au sol dont de qualité correcte et en haute définition alors que les images aériennes sont de très faible définition et souvent pixélisées).
  • "poor quality from Google image" [FR : qualité médiocre issu de Google image] (rejoint l'argument ci-dessus)
  • "printed image take by smartphone (see the color point composed the picture)" [FR : image imprimée prise avec smartphone (regardez les points de couleur qui composent l'image)] on a en plus des exif des photo de smartphone, vous avez déjà vu un téléphone voler ? Et ne me sortez pas l'augment de l'aéronef, il s'agit de photo ultra zoomées et prise parfaitement à la verticale, de plus on voit clairement qu'il s'agit d'une photo imprimé avec les point d'impression.
  • "ILEGAL to broadcast aerial footage of an activ jail !" (FR : il est illégale de diffusé une vue aérienne d'une prison active ! Et oui, Google maps et le Géoportail n'on pas le droit de diffuser de vue aérienne des prisons mais visiblement vous êtes ok pour diffuser cela sur Commons et Wikipédia, aucun problème !
Ces photos n'ont aucun liens esthétiques et techniques entres elles. C'est symptomatique du copyvio, on vole des images fantômes de base qualité sur Google image et on reprend avec son téléphone des vues aériennes anciennes affichées en mairie où dans un quelconque lieu publique, vous n'avez aucune perspicacité pour détecter ça ?
Enfin et pour couronner le tout, toutes ces images sont en lien avec Vesoul et ont été mises en ligne par de multiples compte éphémères ! Et pourquoi ? Parce qu'ils ont tous été bloqués sur Wikipédia. Tous ces comptes sont les faux-nez d'un même individu qui a été banni pour ses nombreux copyvio, des copier-coller textuels d'internet sont modifier une seule virgule ! Et AUSSI des photos !
VOIR : fr:Wikipédia:Faux-nez/PiedgauchedeZidane
ET fr:Wikipédia:Bulletin_des_administrateurs/2013/Semaine_7#Vesouleries
Mais bon puisque l'on ne peut pas travailler ici, je fait en discuter avec les administrateurs de Wikipédia qui connaissent l'affaire et prennent les choses au sérieux. Nous pourrons peut-êtres trouver les solutions adaptées à cette problématique là-bas. Merci pour la perte de temps et le soutiens aux délinquants en tout cas !

Deletion of: Closing discussions without all users participated

Yann, while I certainly appreciate the spirit in which you deleted this silly comment -- how can "all Wikimedia users participate[d]", when I see a change to my talk page, I just pull up the history to see what the change was, which takes longer than simply reading the post and deleting it myself.

OK, sorry. Since I blocked this IP for vandalism elsewhere, I thought it better to also revert the post on your talk page. Yann (talk) 14:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Something I meant to ask you earlier...

Why exactly is it disruptive to "solicit proxy edits on one's behalf on [another project which I won't name] through Commons" (as Surjection wrote here)? See, the proxy-edit-soliciting was done simply so that I would feel less of an urge to block-evade.
So why would he (Surjection) find that part disruptive, especially when I never asked him to make those proxy edits? I'd ask Surjection but he and Fish bowl seem to think everything I ask them is "pestering", even when I don't mean it that way. Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 20:18, 1 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Yann. I'm wondering if you'd mind taking a look at this because you actually reviewed the Flickr license for File:Trains mural.jpg and marked it as "OK".

Import d'une photo de statue

Bonjour, comme vous êtes le seul administrateur francophone dont je me souviens sur Commons, je m'adresse à vous. Tout à l'heure j'aurais souhaité importer la photo d'une statue de François Rabelais, apparemment créée par Henri Dumaigne en 1880, et qui se trouve sur la voie publique. Mais je me suis souvenue aussi qu'il n'y avait pas de liberté de panorama en France, et je ne connais pas bien la législation sur ces questions. Aurais-je le droit d'importer la photo ? J'ai aussi importé une photo sur laquelle on voit des bâtiments, est-ce autorisé ? (Je suppose que peut-être seuls les bâtiments architecturaux se démarquant par l'empreinte de leur auteur sont soumis à une interdiction de reproduction...) Dans l'attente de votre réponse, cordialement. Olga Rithme (talk) 15:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Olga Rithme: Bonjour,
Comme Henri Dumaigne est mort en 1888, il n'y aucun souci pour importer des images de ses oeuvres sur Commons. Pas de problème non plus pour la photo mentionnée ci-dessus. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 15:45, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category:Rail vehicles

Bonjour,
Dans l'en-tête de cette catégorie, un texte encadré rappelle qu'il s'agit d'une catégorie-mère et que les images doivent de préférence être placées dans une sous-catégorie la plus appropriée possible. J'ai entrepris depuis plusieurs semaines de faire ce travail de recatégorisation. Après ce nettoyage, je me demande comment faire pour enlever, après la liste des sous-catégories, dans une section intitulée Pages dans la catégorie « Rail vehicles », le modèle « Template:Rolling Stock-Information ». Je ne comprends pas à quoi sert ce modèle à cet emplacement ; en effet, quand un utilisateur veut déposer un fichier, je ne pense pas qu'il va consulter cette catégorie pour remplir les différents champs du formulaire d'import mais qu'il va aller sur « Importer un fichier ». J'ai essayé de supprimer la category Rail vehicles du modèle en question mais je n'y suis pas parvenu. Quel est ton avis ? Cordialement. Geralix (talk) 13:37, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Template:PD-Coa-Germany

Hi @Yann

I have a request regarding license templates for German public organizations. There is already the "PD-Coa-Germany". It refers to the "Corporation of public law" (German: "Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts") - For example: "Deutschlandradio", "Medizinischer Dienst der Krankenversicherung" or "Industrie- und Handelskammer".

But there is another very similar form of public organization in Germany: The "Institution of public law" (German: "Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts") - For example: "Versorgungsanstalt des Bundes und der Länder", "Technisches Hilfswerk" or "Deutsche Nationalbibliothek".

The only differences are, that the Corporation of public law has members and the Institution of public law has users. Legally, both are basically very similar because both serve a public purpose. I could therefore imagine that it would make sense if there were also a related template for the Institutions of public law (German: Anstalt des öffentlichen Rechts) What do you think? Bildersindtoll (talk) 14:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Bildersindtoll: I don't know the specific details of German copyright law. You should ask someone who knows better and speaks German, or on the dedicated copyright board. Yann (talk) 15:13, 16 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Year categories for stamps of Algeria

You mind if I nominate the ones you recreated yesterday for deletion since they are empty? It doesn't look like there's any Algerian stamps from those years to begin with anyway. At least not from what I can find. Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 06:33, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Adamant1: Could you wait until there is a clear decision please? After independence stamps are OK, so there is no problem having categories for them. Some pre-independence stamps are certainly also OK, while some are not. I would keep the categories anyway. Yann (talk) 11:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's fine. I'll probably move them to categories specifically for postage stamps once it's figured out, but I'll at least leave them alone until then. --Adamant1 (talk) 11:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just FYI

Hello Yann,

thank you very much for your great work on Wikimedia Commons! Just a little tip apropos of your nomination of File:Joseph Siffrein Duplessis - Benjamin Franklin - Google Art Project.jpg: When a picture is already a Featured Picture on some Wikipedia edition (and therefore already includes the {{Assessments}} template), and then becomes a FP on Commons, too, our FPCBot always forgets to add the necessary featured=1 parameter to the {{Assessments}} template, we must do that manually. I have resolved it ([5]), but I may not find all cases of this problem. Therefore I wanted you to know about the problem – maybe you want to check your own next FP nominations for this problem after the FP promotion.

Thank you again and all the best, --Aristeas (talk) 09:55, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User talk protection

Hello. I'm just curious, why should a banned user get deletion request notifications? Jonteemil (talk) 17:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

They don't. But this allows others to check deletion requests of their files. If the talk page is protected, creating a DR by a non-admin will probably ends in an error. I didn't test that though. Yann (talk) 17:47, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hmm, I have trouble understanding. Are you saying that it needs to stay unprotected because otherwise files uploaded by the user couldn't be DR'ed (by non-admins). Jonteemil (talk) 18:03, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
At least, that's why Russavia's talk page is not protected. I am not really sure it is needed, so I am going to test it. Yann (talk) 18:22, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
OK, it is not really needed. The DR is created and added to the log, even when it produces an error message. Yann (talk) 18:30, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Okay, so can you protect the user talk page? Jonteemil (talk) 03:10, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  Done Yann (talk) 12:29, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If @Jfruh: and I both request it, will you unprotect the map? From past experience, trying to get admins to update a map that changes on a weekly timescale is a fruitless task. Usually what happens is people end up creating a duplicate map and start using that, which just multiplies the number of useless files on Commons.

In this case, Jfruh reverted it with a valid reference, which I accepted, but then re-reverted when I found a more up-to-date reference. The map should reflect the current situation, so I think we'd both agree that whichever version is supported by the most recent news reports is the one we should use.

Reverted deletion request

Please explain. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:42, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If anything should be deleted, it is File:Photos-Celebs-attend-the-GQ35-Most-Influential-Young-Indians-909-2 (cropped).jpg. The source was just undeleted. The license is OK, I reviewed it. Yann (talk) 18:02, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
How did you "review" it? Per Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2020/12#Template:BollywoodHungama, the problem isn't that the files are shown as licensed on the source site, but that the source site is untrustworthy for making such claims. This makes it near-impossible to "review" them past this.
Also an unexplained rollback like this is inexcusable, yet also unsurprising from you. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Eh, I'm not offended. It's not a good practice to use the rollback tool for non-obvious reversions, if that's what Yann did, but he might have just forgotten to post to my user talk page. We can't expect perfection from admins, only good faith. I speak as a Wikivoyage admin. I'm not perfect. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:25, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ikan Kekek: Do you still want to delete one of these files? Yann (talk) 12:23, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not if there's no licensing problem. I made the deletion request only because when a file is deleted for copyright violation and reinstated, it seems like an obvious one to delete. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:27, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deletion of images affecting my account

As of recent many of photographs I’ve uploaded to the site on here have been prompted for deletion due to “copyright” issues, my question is. I provided proper sources and even links to many of the photos, what makes them copyright infringement? It is very frustrating as I’ve been a massive contributor to many Wikipedia pages improving them not only information but photos, and to have a situation like this happen is very disheartening. As a lot of the photographs which have already been deleted took time to upload to the site, and for me to be able to look proper sources. What can I even do at this point just let it happen? Because it is very disappointing for my page to be swarmed with violations for no apparent reason to my knowledge, unless it had something to do specifics with how I categorized the copyright. So please let me know if I can do something at this point as you’re the person who decided to start mass deletion on many of my photos and to almost get my account removed.
