Please also fix license tag. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:04, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko: Done, though I'm not sure why you couldn't do that if you wished. :-) James F. (talk) 18:04, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Don't uploaders should learn about copyrights? If this didn't happened, closing administrator is in charge. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 18:08, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

@EugeneZelenko: Since helping found Commons in 2005, I've worked to make it a more friendly, inclusive place. Uploaders have never, and will never, understand copyright well enough to meet Commons's standards, and frankly most sysops on Commons don't understand it well enough to win in court; thankfully, that rarely comes up. I find it's better to have high expectations for oneself and a gentle approach to others. :-) James F. (talk) 18:16, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

But problems need to be fixed. Someone should do this :-) Closing deletion request without fixing problem is not solution :-( --EugeneZelenko (talk) 18:18, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Traffic signs (Working drawings)..

Hi.

I tried to ping you about something, but it didn't seem to work.

The issue is that Fæ raised a query concerning the OGL applicability on certain items which had been uploaded in good faith.

User_talk:Fæ#Traffic_Signs
Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Working Drawings for Traffic Signs in the United Kingdom
Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Symbols_of_road_signs_(Series_S)_of_the_United_Kingdom
Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Symbols_of_road_signs_(Series_T)_of_the_United_Kingdom
Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Traffic_Signs_Manual_(UK)_(Volumes)#Files_in_Category:Traffic_Signs_Manual_(UK)_(Volumes) (The other volumes not part of the DR, are the subject of an earlier OTRS ticket and not in dispute. )

It was my understanding that you had a lot more experience in how OGL content was handled on Commons, and thus would be in a better position to give a much more authoritative view on whether the DR's are an over-reaction, or sensible application of the precautionary principle, given that whilst the source site has an OGL notice on the page where they appear, the relevant drawings themselves only give a (C) Notice, and no outright marking of OGL within the drawings themselves.

Having the working drawings on Commons would be useful, to the small number of Commons volunteers wanting to produce artwork of specific signs or diagrams which are not yet necessarily in the images already present from the Traffic Signs image database or the older volumes (now deprecated) Traffic Signs Manual (covered by the existing OTRS ticket mentioned in the metadata for Volumes 3,4,5 thereof.)

I also hope that my recent effort to get a confirmation about this, hasn't made things more difficult. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:34, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

@Fæ: , @Fry1989: , @Nathan A RF: as they potentially also have interest in this issue. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:07, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Traffic Signs...

Hi..

In followup to your comments , on a tangent. Do you know of some archive source that might have scans of the Worboys and Anderson Report under a Commons compatible license? I know Southampton's Govt papers archive has the reports (and there are on archive.org), but those can't be uploaded to Commons as the scans are under an NC clause (unhappily). An alternative source for these would be appreciated. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:28, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!

Dear Jdforrester

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello Jdforrester,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

London underground

Hi,

Do you happen to have the London tube SVG for the full map?

There are SVGs only for Zone 1 and 2, and only a PNG for the full map.

Please link the SVG for the complete one if you happen to have it.

Thanks

DR close

Hello and thank you for closing Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ormonde Jayne Perfumes Packaging.jpg. If you have a moment, may I trouble you to have a look at the second file listed on that page? Apologies, I think I may not have formatted it correctly but I meant to indicate both files had the same issues. Thanks very much! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:44, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

@Innisfree987 Sorry about that, you're totally right, but I missed it at the time. Done now! James F. (talk) 23:40, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Much obliged! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:30, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Sound Logo

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,
