Dear Polarlys, the newest version of the picture was not uploaded by me. The original one was fine with appropriate source. Please resume it. Thanks! --Wongpong (talk) 15:38, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

ArchiveBot

Hi, I noticed you have set up User:MiszaBot to archive your talk page. Unfortunately, the bot has stopped working, and given how its operator is inactive, it is unclear when/if this will fixed. For the time being, I have volunteered to operate a MiszaBot clone (running the exact same code). With that said, your input would be appreciated at Commons:Bots/Requests/ArchiveBot 1.

Your VFC installation method is deprecated

Hello Polarlys, we are aware that using the old installation method of VFC (via common.js, which you are using) may not work reliably anymore and can break other scripts as well. A detailed explanation can be found here. Important: To prevent problems please remove the old VFC installation code from your common.js and instead enable the VFC gadget in your preferences.

I'm requesting the undeletion of this file. The decision was based on incomplete information at the time about freedom of panorama in North Korea. COM:FOP from the time does not mention Korea. We now know that North Korea has FOP for all kinds of works whether three or two dimensional. 2D works have been kept in subsequent FOP cases: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kim Il Song Portrait.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Kim Il Song Portrait-2.jpg.

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

Dear Polarlys

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 Polarlys,

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)

Deleted file still in use

Hello, apparently, you’ve deleted File:2020-09-24 Odette-Wicca Eumetsat Airmass RGB 640x448.gif in last November. But I just now accidently noticed, that it still was in use, cf. my edits: #1, #2. I do not know what went wrong, but please mind this in the future. Actually, I thought this was a task for the CommonsDelinker. For both pages there are earlier examples where it was active: “deleted by Túrelio”, “deleted by Fitindia”. — Speravir – 23:21, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Deleting of File:Spinel- Gastev iunost idi .jpg and File:Ivan-the-Terrible.jpg

Hallo Polarlys, ich finde die Löschung dieser beiden Dateien nicht gerecht. Ich bin der Enkel von Spinel und habe nach seinem Tod 1981 alles geerbt. Ich bin bis jetzt der Eigentümer und Rechtsinhaber aller seiner Werke - Fotos, Skizzen, Gemälden, Holzschnitten usw. Die Fotos stammen von mir, ich fotografiere alle seine Werke und viele davon werden zurzeit in einem Kunst-Atelier restavriert und für eine Ausstellung vorbereitet. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie die Wiederherstellung dieser Fotos veranlassen, denn diese Bilder veranschaulichen die Zitate, die ich in den Artikel platzierte. MfG Amade58 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amade58 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Hallo, bitte schicke eine schriftliche Freigabe an permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, wie aufgeführt unter Commons:Volunteer_Response_Team. Die Bilder werden dann wieder hergestellt. Es wäre zudem hilfreich, wenn in der Dateibeschreibung korrekte Informationen stünden, d.h. statt author=[[User:Lubomudr58|Lubomudr58]] → author= Iosif Shpinel (1892–1980) und statt source={{own}} ein Hinweis darauf, dass es Bilder aus dem Nachlass des Künstlers sind.

Deletion requests

Hi Polarlys, I will report on this photo. The object in the picture is a copyrighted work of "Anzen Kogyo Co., Ltd". The trademark is "Newラビット君(New Rabbit-kun)". This is not public domain. Japan does not allow fair use. The copyright holder of the character does not allow the use, and Japan does not have freedom of panorama too for artistic works. I'm new to the operation and can't do the proper procedure. Please deal with it.--202.217.208.74 05:53, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Done. --Polarlys (talk) 23:22, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
I received a similar consultation.
IP users seem to have misunderstood that I am good at negotiating with Japanese copyright holders.
I was not good at negotiations, so it was helpful to deal with it.
Thank you very much.--SetoMonamer (talk) 20:13, 3 January 2022 (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)

Ariane 5 va247.jpg

Dear Polarlys ,

You deleted "Ariane 5 va247.jpg" which has been in use on Dutch wiktionary for nearly 2 years. It is really difficult to discuss the arguments for deletion or find suitable replacements when the picture itself is no longer visible. If a picture is in use on a project it seems proper procedure to follow the normal request for deletion process. Would you be so kind as to undo the removal of this picture so we can have a look at it again? --MarcoSwart (talk) 13:23, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Marco, it was an image attributed to "ESA-CNES-Arianespace, Photo Optique Vidéo CSG" and uploaded under a CC license without any proof that this photo had been released under such a license. There was a regular request for deletion (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ariane 5 va247.jpg). The user who requested the deletion has extensive experience with space flight photos. There is a vast selection of photos of other Ariane 5 launches, see e.g. Category:Ariane 5 flight VA256. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 22:49, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

I noticed you deleted the entire file. When I tagged it the only copyvios were the in between images in the history that were from Getty Images. The first and last were properly free-use licensed and should have remained. The only images that should have been removed where those images in the history, not the last and first images as well.

URV-Löschung

Hallo Polarlys, danke für die schnelle Bearbeitung dieser URV. Die anderen beiden Uploads dieses Nutzers erscheinen mir auch zweifelhaft - sehen mir sehr nach "derivative work" aus, also Scans von irgendwoher. Denkbar wäre es allerdings auch, dass sie aus seiner privaten Entwurfs-Schublade stammen. In dem Fall wären sie zwar nicht URV, aber für die Artikelarbeit dennoch unbrauchbar, da OR.

Wie geht man damit nun weiter um? Die Kommunikation mit dem SD-SPA gestaltet sich mühsam; er hält seine persönlichen Skizzen wahrscheinlich sogar für Belege, die jeden IK-Verdacht ausräumen. Nachdem ich ihm - einem seit 2007(!) registrierten und zwischendurch fleißig in IK-Artikeln editierenden Nutzer - mühsam erklären musste, wo denn die Artikeldisk. zu finden ist, mache ich mir keinerlei Hoffnungen, ihm nahebringen zu können, was OR ist und warum es hier unerwünscht ist. --217.239.4.223 13:17, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Mh, das lädt ja ein, sich mehr mit der Thematik zu beschäftigen ;-) --Polarlys (talk) 16:24, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Ja, sorry, ist ein wenig nervig. Ich versuche schon, mich da selber nicht mehr zu sehr reinzuhängen, es bringt nichts. Eine Adminanfrage allerdings habe ich in dieser Angelegenheit noch laufen, wo ich noch auf Antwort warte.
Jedenfalls lädt der Nutzer zwischenzeitlich fleißig weitere Dateien hoch. Ich bezweifle nicht, dass die tatsächlich von ihm sind (obwohl er sich bislang nicht verifiziert hat, aber der IK ist für meinen Geschmack Verifizierung genug), aber das sagt ja nur begrenzt was über die Rechtslage aus. --217.239.4.223 00:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Polarlys I would like, first of all, to thank you for your hard work. Regarding the deletion, the file Escudo-Costa.jpg is from the official website www.bmmalagacostadelsol.com and is set up with CC 4.0 (see footer). That license is not enough for wikimedia?

EVE Online Image

Hi Polarlys,

You deleted several images I uploaded but you did it for a good reason: I wasn't sure if the license of these images was free and therefore valid on Wikimedia Commons... EXCEPT FOR 1! "EVE Online - The game's careers.jpg" has the license and it was written on it in the bottom right corner. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:EVE_Online_-_Les_carri%C3%A8res_du_jeu.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1

I ask you to undelete this file and I understand why you don't undelete the other files.

As I was the one to upload the image after emailing the archive holding this image, I would like to ask why it was removed at all. I only uploaded after receiving email confirmation allowing for it’s use along with a high res copy, which was the image i uploaded

With regards ThatArmyDude (talk) 17:19, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Please provide a written permission: Commons:OTRS. Please note that “permission of using them for Wikipedia” is not enough. The image needs to be freely licensed by the copyright holder. --Polarlys (talk) 18:15, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Question

Earlier, you were responsible for eliminating the file AA Napoli-SC.png. What is the rule for this loading of club emblems? I ask this because someone always uploads the file to Commons and requests deletion from Wikipedia. At the end of the situation, I have to reload or restore deleted files locally. Conde Edmond Dantès (talk) 01:53, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

When it comes to Logos, we judge them according Commons:Copyright_rules_by_subject_matter#Trademarks and Commons:Threshold of originality. Viele Grüße, --Polarlys (talk) 19:47, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback.
In the last few months, some files I uploaded to Wikipedia are being deleted because of later uploads to Commons. However, files uploaded to Commons end up being deleted as well. Then I have to waste time requesting restorations. I know the problem has nothing to do with you, but it's been bothering me. Conde Edmond Dantès (talk) 22:54, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Suppression d'une image de label rouge gazon

Good morning. You removed the "Gazon_Label_rimouge2.png" picture from the Label rouge article in french WP, for which I had obtained permission to take the photo from the supplier and hid the brand name, but you did not delete the picture "Fir honey d'Alsace Label rouge.jpg" in the infobox. Why ? Arn (talk) 16:38, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, a written permission is needed for photos of copyrighted product photos, please see Commons:OTRS. By the way, I saw some of your uploads: File:Les premières éclaireuses.jpg, File:Les premières éclaireuses.jpg, File:Ecole_nouvelle_de_Boulogne.jpg. Are you sure you are the author? I guess it is some unnamed photographer, not you who took photos of the photos. --Polarlys (talk) 20:34, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
File:André Basdevant.jpg. this photo comes from personal archives. André Basdevant was "Eclaireur de France" and a personal friend of my father Eugène Arnaud. It was he who wrote the obituary when my father died (see article published: https://fr.scoutwiki.org/Fichier:Necrologie_Basdevant.jpg) Arn (talk) 21:13, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

File:Les premières éclaireuses.jpg, File:Ecole_nouvelle_de_Boulogne.jpg are also personal archives because my mother was regional commissioner at the Fédération française des éclaireuses and J was a schoolboy at the "Ecole nouvelle de Boulogne" and my mother was responsible in this school.

Arn (talk) 21:30, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

This doesn’t make you the author of any of these files, I am afraid. --Polarlys (talk) 21:33, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
André Basdevant is dead, the Girl Scouts are too. The new school in Boulogne has been closed for a long time. No one can give the permissions you request anymore. But these images are useful for an encyclopedia. What else can I do to make these photos acceptable ? Arn (talk) 07:43, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Arn, we all have been there before: Some valuable photo from our possession, something from a newspaper. We can claim that we are authors and release it under some free license, but neither the statement nor the license are correct. Both are contrary to the project principles. In the worst case, we deceive a subsequent user. Sometimes there is literally nothing we can do until a file can be assumed to be in the public domain. --Polarlys (talk) 11:45, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Wikimedia commons image deletion

Bro you removed all my image addition to commons that okay but i have question then how people post image if you remove every image due to copyright violations. There are many pictures on wikipedia pages and if they are not copyright violations then how can i do the same. Kindly tell 2409:40D0:B1:8DF4:1C9F:AFFF:FEC0:56C2 09:19, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Bro, I have no idea which files you are referring to. You can upload images here that you have made yourself and that do not show copyrighted works (a photo of a photograph or film poster is not ok, for example). You can also upload images of third parties as long as this is explicitly allowed and the file is under a free licence. Please have a look at Commons:First_steps. --Polarlys (talk) 11:30, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

This user has many copyvio uploads, need a mass deletion. 𝕃𝐖 (talk) 16:56, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of Charles Stanley 2020 (QS2dw7EzUk0).jpg

This file I uploaded (File:Charles Stanley 2020 (QS2dw7EzUk0).jpg) was deleted for being tagged as a copyright violation. However, this screenshot came from the official YouTube channel of In Touch Ministries (Charles Stanley's church). I inspected the video now, and the CC-BY license was taken off of it, but it was initially uploaded with it. Here's a Archive.org link of the video showing this (Clinking the "Show more" tab reveals it): https://web.archive.org/web/20200810013925/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QS2dw7EzUk0

With this, and because CC licenses cannot be revoked, may this file be undeleted please?

Edit: if it's possible, may the file be marked as reviewed so it won't get deleted again, please?

Thank you for your time. StrangeloveFan101 (talk) 10:46, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

@StrangeloveFan101: I restored the file and marked it as reviewed. Thank you for your effort. --Polarlys (talk) 19:37, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

The File is from a CC BY-SA 3.0 video File:Kizuna_AI_新種のSCPが怖すぎる件【SCP_Foundation】.webm, I can't see why it got deleted due to copyright violation. Please let me know if I misunderstood anything. Cookai🍪 (💬talk) 10:56, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

This was a mistake on my side. Sorry, --Polarlys (talk) 18:42, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Ships by year of manufacture

Hi Polarlys. Please read the description in category:Ships by year of manufacture. So you will understand that cat:SMS Sachsen (ship, 1877) is actually cat:SMS Sachsen (ship, 1878). The year of the launch is not important here. Cheers Rsteen (talk) 02:53, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Anthony Furey

The owners, who are the campaign sent an email granting permission following the Wikipedia process.

New versions

Hello, please do not upload your pics as new versions of mine; upload them as new files, so that users can decide themselves which one they prefer. Thank you! --Rabanus Flavus (talk) 09:12, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Hallo @Rabanus Flavus: während ich dies freilich in der Regel so handhabe, handelt sich bei etwa File:Julie von Massow (detail).jpg um einen etwas höher auflösenden und weniger von Kompressionsartefakten gezeichneten Scan aus derselben Quelle, ein Fall, wie er auch von Commons:Overwriting_existing_files/de#Geringfügige_Verbesserungen abgedeckt ist.

Hong Kong Throwaway Account

The Hong Kong Throwaway Account is a person or persons — it is difficult to believe that one person could be doing all this, it is more difficult to believe that multiple people could independently be doing something this specific, and it is even more difficult to believe that an organized endeavor to do this could be kept quiet — in Hong Kong, who appears to be motivated by contributing to Commons.

HKTA goes all over Hong Kong and takes hundreds of photos of everything. They create a Commons account with a gibberish name, and use it to upload their photos. All their photos have properly descriptive, meaningful filenames with serial numbers, and are placed in dozens of categories.

They do this for three to seven days, then abandon that account and start over. (This description makes me feel like I'm writing an SCP article.)

Leaving a message for HKTA is difficult, because all the accounts are abandoned after three days. I only bother leaving them the 'this photo you took of a painting is copyvio' messages for purposes of recordkeeping.

For a while, user:Faebot was adding images to [[:Category:Photographs by Anonymous Hong Kong Photographer 1 ]], but it had false positives (and probably a lot of false negatives), and anyway the bot's been inactive since 2021.

Really, though: aside from the photos of paintings by artists who are either still alive, or who died too recently for their copyrights to have expired, I don't think HKTA is doing anything wrong. I'm not even sure we could say they've been warned to stop with the photos of paintings by living artists, because they never see the warnings.

(Although I did manage to leave this one a message two days before it went inactive, so maybe they saw it.) DS (talk) 02:25, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for these insights. I have deleted hundreds of derivative works from these accounts over the last months. It's definitely a level of copyright infringement that other accounts would be banned for. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 07:58, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
I've identified and tagged hundreds of derivative works from them, which is more effort. Largely, what they're doing is okay. DS (talk) 16:27, 9 July 2023 (UTC)


I didn't mean to deny your effort, thank you for that. --Polarlys (talk) 08:44, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Deletion requests

Hi,

I see that you have deleted three files that I have filed a deletion request for. Much appreciated. Do you have the opportunity to take a look at the rest of my deletion requests? I have quite a few open requests that have been open for some time now. Worldlydev (talk) 21:45, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

I do what I can, but there is no need to rush in this case. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 08:03, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, There is no proof that this is a copyvio. Our copy is bigger and has EXIF data. I would start a regular DR instead. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:40, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: : Commons:Deletion requests/File:MitchJebbMSUBaseball.jpg. --Polarlys (talk) 16:22, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, several of the files that you recently deleted following Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Aleksander Oppenkowski have since been re-uploaded, at least some of them by the original uploader. Others appear to have been re-uploaded under different file names, based on the history of Wikipedia pages that use them: File:Tele5 2.png [1] File:Adventure TV 2.png [2] Can you speedily delete these under COM:G4, or should I nominate them for deletion? Verbcatcher (talk) 21:39, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, aber ich halte deine Revertierung für einen schlechten Scherz. In den Exif stand von Beginn an, dass das Bild nicht unbeschränkt frei ist. Mag sein, dass das zunächst unter einer falschen Lizenz hoch geladen sein mochte, mittlerweile ist das aber offenkundig ausgeglichen. Jetzt so zu tun, dass das alles nichts zählt kann einfach nicht angehen. Ich würde mich ja freuen, wenn das Bild wirklich frei wäre, viel in der Richtung haben wir nicht. Aber das hier ist es ganz sicher nicht. Und unter den Bedingungen meinen Antrag einfach zu revertieren, statt ihn wenigstens in einen zu diskutierenden Antrag umzuwandeln - echt, das sind die Momente, in denen man sich fragt, was das hier noch alles soll. Marcus Cyron (talk) 12:11, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Marcus, ein Teil der Flickr-Nutzer findet Weiternutzung toll, bis das Bild dann tatsächlich weitergenutzt wird. Es kommt quasi täglich vor, dass die Lizenzierung restriktiver wird und dann hier Bilder gelöscht werden sollen. Im konkreten Fall ist es eindeutig, dass das Bild unter der angegebenen Lizenz hochgeladen und entsprechend auch vom Bot geprüft wurde. Wenn du einen regulären Antrag möchtest, steht es dir frei, ihn zu stellen (ebenso, wie ich einen Schnelllöschantrag begründet entfernen kann). Kein Grund, in Pessimismus abzugleiten („Momente, in denen man sich fragt, was das hier noch alles soll.“), insbesondere wenn man sich den Workload anguckt, den hier der kleine Teil der aktiven Admins abarbeitet. Schönes Wochenende, --Polarlys (talk) 08:16, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Polarlys, bzgl. dieses Derivats war ich heute mit dem Hochlader in "Verhandlung". Das Urbild stammt von depositphotos, allerdings hatte er noch nicht die genaue URL angegeben, weshalb ich die Lizenz noch nicht prüfen konnte; siehe seine Disku User talk:Bbwilliams. --Túrelio (talk) 15:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Question

Hi, may I ask exactly why File:DiEM25 Pamela Anderson Berlin 2019.jpg was deleted? QuestFour (talk) 11:28, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

The content of a election poster that is only briefly on public display, does not fall under Freedom of Panorama („Panoramafreiheit“). So it is just a reproduction of an unfree work of art. Regards, --Polarlys (talk) 19:53, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
