Bilder - Löschung

Hallo, warum ist das Foto in "Wyny-Ecu Wikipedia" gelöscht worden? Die Lizenz ist zur gleichen Zeit mit den Bildern bei "Commons" erteilt worden. Ich bitte um Wiederherstellung des Bildes. Gruß Werner wyny (talk) 21:53, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Welches Bild? Dateiname? Ich habe gestern 400 oder 500 Dateien loeschen muessen, da kann ich mich nicht immer an einzelne Fälle erinnern. Gruss, --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 01:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 Info: Wenn ich es richtig verstanden habe, müsste es um das Bild File:Selbstbildnis, 2006, Holz & Acryl, H 50 cm.jpg gehen (es wurde wegen der Löschung gestern Nachmittag aus dem Artikel de:Wyny Ecu durch Dateientlinkerbot entfernt). Gruß --Jivee Blau 01:48, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
@Jivee Blau: Danke Dir! Diese Datei hat keine Lizenz und wurde am 6.10. durch JuTa korrekt identifiziert und markiert. Wird nichts an solchen markierten Dateien gemacht, werden diese nach einer Woche ohne Nachfrage gelöscht. Warum wir Uploads ohne Lizenz erlauben ist mir nach wie vor ein Raetsel. Soweit dazu. Sobald das OTRS Ticket abgearbeitet und OK-ed ist, wird die Datei wiederhergestellt. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:00, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Du bist doch noch OTRS Agent, schau doch bitte mal in das Ticket. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:02, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Welche Ticketnummer stand in der gelöschten Datei? Gruß --Jivee Blau 04:04, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
m( Ticket:2019062910004502. Sorry. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:17, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Ich habe gerade gesehen, dass Werner wyny noch mal an das Wikimedia-Support-Team geschrieben hat. Das Wikimedia-Support-Team schrieb zurück, dass die fehlende Lizenzangabe wohl ein Fehler des Wikimedia-Support-Teams war. Krd (talk · contribs) hat das obige Bild heute Morgen wiederhergestellt. Gruß --Jivee Blau 21:19, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Shit happens. Krd ist immer fix dabei sowas zu reparieren. Ende gut.... --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 03:24, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks, at both places, for this! Cheers DBaK (talk) 10:30, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #387

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • The Wikidata Wor(l)dmap is showing translations of the same concept on a world map. To use it, type a word (for example "water") in the search field, then observe the map. You can zoom in the map. The data comes from Wikidata item labels and the coordinate location property of the language.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Wikidata won an Open Publishing Award (description).
    • Panandâ, a mobile app powered by Wikidata (and Wikimedia Commons), was selected as one of the five finalists in the App for Social Good category in the Android Masters 2019 competition organized by Google Developer Group Philippines. The final event will be held on November 16.
    • Issue with Wikidata Query Service: aggregate variables can no longer reuse the names of other variables (T235540).
    • You can translate labels in the background image of Wikidata front page by adding translation to this file
  • Development
    • Fixed the DuplicateReferences gadget that was broken due to refactoring work needed to make pages load faster and development easier (phab:T234094)
    • Wikidata Bridge: restricting the length of string value inputs (phab:T229241)
    • research delayed kicking in of Bridge (phab:T233305)
    • enable/disable save button depending on Bridge state (phab:T230342)
    • More work on reducing the resource loader modules
    • More work on tainted references

License review

Hello, I suggest it would be better to confirm first with Alexis Jazz their request to become license reviewer, since two admins including myself recently offered to endorse such candidature but the offer was declined (here and there), and to formally ask the community, following the procedure described at Commons:License review/requests. — Racconish 💬 05:42, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Yup, left msg on their talk page. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 07:30, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
@Racconish: I guess I overshot a little. Thanks for notifying me and reverting. Much obliged. C(_) --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 23:14, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

Undeletion request

Hi, I see that you have deleted three video (VideoWiki) files today. They are File:Wikipedia-VideoWiki-A. R. Rahman.webm, File:Wikipedia-VideoWiki-Rajinikanth.webm, and File:Wikipedia-VideoWiki-Asha Bhosle.webm. All these files were developed through VideoWiki article. Due to some bug, no info was added to these files. But I did add source info to these files, but forgot to remove tag. So I kindly check the info again, and restore the files. KCVelaga (VideoWiki) (talk) 11:38, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

@KCVelaga (VideoWiki): ✓ Done I added a few categories, please recheck and add/change as you see fit. You'll need to elaborate a bit when stating authors, statements like See script and authors listed in details below. is not good enough for commons. If you have trouble again, please feel free to drop me a line, I do what I can to help. C(_) --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 23:12, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
Great, thank you. Yes, I do understand the problems with those statements, I have been an active contributor to WCommons (User:KCVelaga) myself -- this is a separate account for my work with VideoWiki project. Yes, we are trying to tweak the tool's output so that it best suits WCommons standards. Regards, KCVelaga (VideoWiki) (talk) 19:19, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
yes --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 00:37, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Setting my talk page to Autoconfirmed users

Hi Hedwig in Washington!

Can you set my talk page and user page to allow only autoconfirmed users to edit? --Marshallsumter (talk) 00:22, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

✓ Done What a pitiful moron and waste of genetic material. He could have been something useful, an earthworm for instance. At least we could have taken him fishing.... Best, --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 03:21, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

File:1955-04-30 - Illustrated London News - Emesa helmet.jpg

This file was marked for speedy deletion on the 24th—inappropriately, I believe. I contested this, with an explanation in my edit. Why, then, was the file nonetheless deleted, let alone with no explanation, and let alone speedily? --Usernameunique (talk) 03:45, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Please follow the instruction @ Com:Undelete. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:27, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
To clarify: in light of the explanation I gave for why the file is not under copyright, why was the file deleted, and why speedily? --Usernameunique (talk)
Because the file was tagged for speedy deletion (as a copyvio) it was deleted. That's how copyvios are handled on Commons. Someone should have changed the speedy tag, i.e. request a standard deletion. Again, -> Com:Undelete, please. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 07:06, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
If, say, someone were to tag all the images of 17th-century paintings for deletion (as copyvios), would you still delete them? I'm struggling to understand how you're claiming to have no discretion (or at least to have exercised none) in deleting files—any if "someone should have changed the speedy tag," as you say, why you deleted the file instead of doing so. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:55, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
I answered your question. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 22:36, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello Hedwig

You deleted this file because it was missing permission information required by wikimedia.

Hi! I had this two (1 and 2) magazines with the OTRS pending. did i miss to complete the source and license? If so, sorry for that. Would you undelete them, so i can fix it, and ask to a OTRS admin to look the tickets ASAP?. Thanks! Mauricio V. Genta (talk)

@Mauricio V. Genta: No, not your fault. Unfortunately the OTRS tag throws the files into a big pile of things to be deleted at a certain date. Normally I try to find OTRS pending files and check them one by one; today I forgot. Sorry about that. Anyway, files are back and I reset the date. I hope you find an OTRS agent with a little time.

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you! I undeleted and added the correct licenses to File:Rinaldo De Benedetti 1923.jpg and File:Rinaldo De Benedetti, Milano 1932.jpg as well (which are very similar cases - the former could be protected because done in studio, but it's older than 1924 and not very artsy).

HiW Bot added redundant category

Hi! At the files

HiW Bot recently added Category:Animated GIF files. This is ok for the file flagged "(*)", but not for the others, since they are in the subcategory Category:Mathematical animations (when flagged "(M)"), and Category:Animations of geometry (when flagged "(G)"). I guess, this is a problem with the Bot.

(Actually, all 6 images should be in Category:Animations of geometry, but this is a different issue.) Best regards - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 16:14, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

@Jochen Burghardt: Das stimmt schon so. Category:Mathematical animations und Category:Animations of geometry sind nicht mit der Kategorie Category:Animated GIF files verbunden, soll heissen nicht redundant. In den Kategorien sind ja auch nicht-gif Animationen möglich. LG, --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 01:56, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Purpose of HiW-Bot?

Just wondering why HiW-Bot is categorizing all animated GIFs as Category:Animated GIF files. This huge category (currently >30K files and increasing daily) might be of interest for a general survey (e.g., to see how many animated GIFs are in Commons) but, without meaningful sub-categorization (e.g., Category:Animated GIF files by subject), what other purpose does it serve? Lambtron (talk) 15:35, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

Why? The answer is not meant to be snotty: That's how the cookie crumbles on Commons. We sort the heck out of our files. Regarding subcats: The bot can't add subcategories without knowing what is depicted. That's pretty much impossible, in addition to all other problems, no AI, most files don't even have a proper description. It's not easy. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 06:25, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps HiW-Bot could automatically categorize based on existing file categories? For example, File:Splay Tree Insertion.gif belongs to Category:Sort and Category:Splay trees, so the bot might do something like this:

The result of this would be a huge list of topics in Category:Animated GIF files, which is way more useful than a huge list of alphabetized filenames. Also, this would sort out animated GIF files within each topic it touches. Best regards, Lambtron (talk) 15:24, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

No bot needed for this, can be done faster by hand and cat-a-lot or VFC. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 01:46, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

file:DmD_Horsens_2015.jpg

Hello, can someone help? Is it possible to undelete this photo which was uploaded to Commons by me, but deleted 24. november by mistake, I believe. The file belongs to Danish photographer, Mr. Flemming Ege of Horsens, who has given his permission to publish under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International, Ticket#2019082910009129. A copy of his mail to Wikimedia with the permission is available here: https://dmd.dk/wiki_mail_flemming_ege.pdf Thank you very much Tjelly2 (talk) 02:36, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

@Tjelly2: I requested the ticket to be checked by an OTRS agent. The ticket hasn't been approved since October. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 06:32, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, Hedwig! Then how do you suggest I do to undelete it? The photo has a license, a permission and a source: https://dmd.dk/wiki_mail_flemming_ege.pdf Best regards Tjelly2 (talk) 12:28, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

No need, as soon as the OTRS agent confirms the ticket, the file will be restored. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 02:55, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
@Tjelly2: Just checking in, everything OK or do you need assistance of any kind? --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 01:49, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
@Hedwig in Washington: Thanks for asking, Hedwig! Everything OK until now, I'm just a little worried about the warning from Ruthven on the file site and whether it means the file will be deleted again ... Tjelly2 (talk) 01:00, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
@Tjelly2: No need to ping me on my own talk page, it's automatic notification. Doesn't hurt, tho. Without processed/accepted OTRS ticket the file is still subject to deletion after some time. You can ask Ruthven to reset the timer. Cheers! --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 07:39, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

Frage zu mass delete

Hallo, erstmal vielen Dank für das prompte Ändern der 100 "Location". Schon seit einiger Zeit habe ich die Absicht eine Frage loszuwerden, an jemanden, der sowohl Admin ist als auch einen bot dirigiert: Auf Grund einer von mir im vorigen Jahr vorgenommenen Designänderung sind über tausend Untervorlagen obsolet geworden; seither liegen diese Leichen hier in den Commons rum.
IMHO wäre es sinnvoll, sich ihrer zu entledigen. In meiner Naivität glaube ich, dass es hier keiner Löschdiskussion bedarf - die Dinger wurden durch etwas besseres ersetzt und werden nie wieder mehr benötigt, auch wenn sie vor 2017 sehr frequentiert waren. Irgenwo ist mir aber gesagt worden, das aus rechtlichen Gründen, oder sonst einer Rücksicht die ich nicht verstehen konnte, solche ehemaligen Untervorlagen auf ewig erhalten bleiben müssen. Dazu merke ich an, dass es sich nicht vielleicht um Lizenzvorlagen handelt, sondern lediglich um Hilfsvorlagen für Übersetzungstools aus dem Bereich "Created with" (zB Inkscape) und "Taken with" (zb. Nikon FM2).
Nun meine Frage an dich als Admin: dürfen die Dinger endlich weg?
Falls ja, sie sind in einer Kategorie gesammelt. Da ich über keinen bot verfüge, kann ich nur einzeln darauf zugreifen, was ich bei weit über tausend tunlichst nicht mal in Erwägung ziehe...
Ich wüsste nun gerne, was ich da tun kann. Soll ich dir noch weitere Einzelheiten liefern, damit du mir antworten kannst? -- sarang♥사랑 18:51, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

@Sarang: AWB macht kurzen Prozess mit 100 Dateien, kein Problem.
Grundsätzlich kann alles weg, was nicht mehr gebraucht wird und nirgendwo genutzt wird. Die eine oder andere Einbindung auf einer alten Disku zählt da (m.M.n) nicht. Hast Du ein Beispiel parat? --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 20:00, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Soweit ich es sehe, ist für AWB eine spezielle Berechtigung erforderlich, und es sieht auch eher kompliziert aus.
Doch finde ich gut, dass meine Aufräumaktion beendet werden wird und die alten Dinger entsorgt werden können. Ich weiss nicht, wie tief du einsteigen willst; eine eher kurze Erläuterung um was es ging, oder eine viel umfangreichere (mit noch weiteren links)? Ich vermute eher dass es genügt, wenn ich dir die Kategorie nenne, in der ich diesen Altballast gesammelt habe. Ich werde noch heute die letzten ~100 überflüssig gewordenen Vorlagen reinstellen, dann kann alles auf einen Schlag weg. Ich werde dir Bescheid geben, wenn ich damit fertig bin. -- sarang♥사랑 06:55, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Nun bin ich damit fertig, ich glaube kaum dass ich noch etwas übersehen habe. Die Situation ist folgende: Vor langem hatte ich die Category:Experimental templates angelegt und darin nicht mehr benötigte Vorlagen gesammelt, um sie für Vorlagentests zu verwenden. Einige möchte ich nach wie vor behalten, aber die grosse Masse unter [[Category:Experimental templates|B]], [[Category:Experimental templates|I]] und [[Category:Experimental templates|T]] kann und soll weg. Diese Selektion von B+I+T kann AWB doch locker bewältigen? Ist leider unnötig kompliziert, aber um es zu begradigen müsste ich jede Vorlage einzeln editieren. Kann ich noch etwas beitragen, oder beantworten? -- sarang♥사랑 08:47, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

@Sarang: B-I-T ✓ Done AWB macht es ein wenig einfacher, leider keine Massenlöschungen möglich, zwei Klicks pro Vorlage. Pywikipediabot kann auch keine Vorlagen löschen. Egal, ging fix. AWB ist nicht so kompliziert. Für Dateien nehme ich auch VFC, für alles andere AWB. PW Bot benutzte ich überhaupt nicht mehr. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 02:50, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Zwei Klicks je Vorlage? Bei 1300 Stück – du liebe Güte! Ich dachte ein bot macht das "mit links", wenn es ihm entsprechend aufbereitet serviert wird. Mittlerweile kann ich zwar fast alle Vorlagen editieren, aber Löschen bleibt nun mal den Admins vorbehalten. So gerne und bereitwillig ich das finale Aufräumen erledigt hätte (alleine zur Kategorisierung waren mehr als zwei Klicks notwendig...), da musste ein anderer ran. Zumindest konntest du mir vertrauen und musstest nicht jede einzelne Vorlage prüfen. Danke für deine grosse Mühe, nun ist wieder etwas erledigt! Mit vereinter Anstrengung, wie es sich in einem Gemeinschaftsprojekt ziemt. Ich werde mir AWB mal ansehen, und mich vielleicht um die Lizenz zum AWBen bewerben. -- sarang♥사랑 05:54, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Ja genau. Gemeinschaftsprojekt: Wie Du mir, so ich Dir. ^_^ Oder so ähnlich. Passt schon alles.
Du kannst mit AWB allerdings nichts machen, ohne den Eintrag in der whitelist Kleine Sicherheit gegen Massenvandalismus, ist in AWB so eingebaut. Die Hilfe ist allerdings zum Heulen. Antworten gibt es auch nur für Eingeweihte Das Tool selbst ist nicht übel. Schau auch mal auf dieser Seite vorbei: Commons:File description page regular expressions. C(_) --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 07:13, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
Danke für Tipps und Del! Bei der Menge habe ich doch ein paar [[Category:Experimental templates|I]] übersehen, ich muss dich um Löschnacharbeit bitten. -- sarang♥사랑 09:32, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
@Sarang: ✓ Done Hat ein wenig gedauert. Zuviel um die Ohren. %Þ --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 01:35, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

File:Isaac of Nineveh Mystic Treatises 001.gif and so on

HiW-Bot added Category:Animated GIF files to theese 911? files. This is wrong. They are non-animated. Could you please reverse this? (If one wanted a cat in all files it would have been better to put it in Template:Isaac_of_Nineveh_Mystic_Treatises anyway.) Greetings --Jahobr (talk) 00:27, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Checking. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 00:54, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
@Jahobr: No wrongly categorized files found. Thank you for reverting the ones you discovered. The bot works on a list created by an SQL script on Quarry. I didn't find anything wrong with the script or the files. Strange. Thanks for keeping an eye on the shop! Cheers! C(_)

Category talk:Rocky Marciano

Hallo Hedwig in Washington, Ich habe gesehen, dass du die oben genannte Diskussionsseite vollgesperrt hast. Die Versionsgeschichte ist allerdings komplett leer. Gibt es dort versteckte Versionen, oder war dies ein Versehen? --Schlurcher (talk) 20:22, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

@Schlurcher: Nee, der Rock Statue Idiot war mal wieder unterwegs, ich habe ein paar Seiten rund um Marciano gesperrt. Der hat 'n Fisch im Ar..h. Must Du an die Disku ran? --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 00:52, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Ok, danke. Die Seite erschien lediglich auf einer der Wartungsseiten, die mein Bot beobachtet. Ich hab mich nur gewundert warum eine Diskussionsseite ohne direkt erkennbaren Grund gesperrt ist. Wegen mir kann das so bleiben. Grüße --Schlurcher (talk) 09:29, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

The assistance might be required

Hallo Hedwig, wie geht's? I'm writing, because I might need a bit assistance. Julo, who happens to be an admin too, uploaded images from fotopolska.eu - correctly indicating their authors and source; however not providing any evidence that authors agreed for free licenses(and fotopolska.eu doesn't share under any free license by default). I reminded him about it politely, and I am still awaiting the anwser. I only kisted some of the images, as there is more of them, uploaded in 2019 and maybe earlier - all sharing the same flaw. However, I kind of anticipate problems, therefore I ask you kindly to overlook this issue. Thanks, Masur (talk) 13:25, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
