iTunes chart[edit]

Hello @Jeff G.. I need to cite that a song was first on iTunes top chart but I only have the screenshot. I would like to know how best to upload the image for Wikipedia cite purpose Princeisrael2728 (talk) 10:17, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Princeisrael2728: I already answered you at Commons:Help desk#iTunes screenshot upload. iTunes is a primary source, you need a citation to significant coverage in a verifiable reliable secondary source. See en:WP:42.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:24, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No idea why, but this bot appears to have created Category:Communes Documentation Project (Shatta) with no parent categories. Since as if 05:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)~ it also has no members, I'm deleting it. Just letting you know in case the creation of a category with no parents indicates a malfunctioning bot. - Jmabel ! talk 05:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jmabel: Sorry about that. I had a delay between scanning Category:Incomplete deletion requests - missing subpage and prepending of {{subst:Void}} to provide better-than-purge touching, during which the cat was deleted. I will avoid such delays using the AWB setting to skip processing if the page does not exist. Same for Category:Showroom Fundermax, St. Veit an der Glan).   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:42, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Concerns regarding uploads from a user[edit]

I have some concerns regarding some uploads for another user, User:Bigguy637. I've just reached out to them with a message regarding their incorrect use of the 'own work' for author/source, but I'm unsure how to discuss and advise on the use of the correct content license; as they've also been using "self|cc-zero" (Creative Commons 0, with that extra "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it..." box around it.), which wouldn't be correct as they're all safety symbols, from years old design standards and legal acts.

I also have some concerns that some of their uploads are not-free works and prohibited on the Commons. I've nominated a batch for deletion here Commons:Deletion requests/Portal 2 Safety Signs that I'm very confident on.-- The Navigators (talk) 06:47, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@The Navigators: Hi. Why are you telling me, rather than posting to an Admin noticeboard like COM:ANU where Admins like Эlcobbola might notice it?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Apologies, thought you were one (I recalled your username from some prior discussions over the years); and thought about going directly to you since you'd spoken with them recently about another policy matter.
I'll take this to the admin noticeboard; you can archive this discussion.
Have a good one. The Navigators (talk) 12:43, 29 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
