Brampton dates[edit]

Hi there. I noticed you were processing some Brampton-related files and adding year categories to them. For convenience, I've added 'Brampton' to {{CanadaYear}} and {{CanadaDecade}}, and created some of the necessary categories in Category:History of Brampton. Mindmatrix 18:16, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mindmatrix: That's great, thank you! // sikander { talk } 🦖 18:21, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since you did not respond to my reply on my talk page, I'll leave a note here.[edit]

Your comment on my talk page: User talk:Ooligan#Holding category

You wrote, "The holding category idea is one I've found useful to easily find files that I want to work on later, and thought it might be useful to mention."

I looked at your holding category. I had already added some categories in July, to the many files being held in the your "holding" category, that you had created back in December 2022 Category:2022 United Nations Biodiversity Conference.

Let me know, if you need some more help categorizing, since those files were uploaded by you a year ago.

Also, since you mentioned Commons:Flickypedia, Flickr2Commons (F2C) will not be used by the Commons:Flickypedia project-

Quoted here:

"=== A tribute to Flickr2Commons === When we began to design the partnership, we had hoped to “adopt” Flickr2Commons and extend it. In June, we took a good look at the source code in consultation with Magnus Manske and figured out it probably wouldn’t stand up to being extended as it is without significant time invested to stabilise it. The preparation we did for this in June—trying and failing to run the source code locally, for example—indicates that it may be more robust to create a fresh version on the shoulders of Flickr2Commons." (emphasis added) Thanks again,--Ooligan (talk) 00:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ooligan: Hey, thanks for adding cats to "United Nations Biodiversity Conference." Flickypedia is a work-in-progress inspired by Flickr2Commons and I wish them all the best. It's great to see people devoting time and effort to make it easier to transfer from Flickr. Cheers. // sikander { talk } 🦖 14:14, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sikander: since you created the category, wondering why the images are not in the Category:Islamic terrorism symbol? Thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 12:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lotje: I suspect some kind of loop is happening here. The "terrorism symbol" was renamed to "Islamic terrorism symbol" and from what I recall, a bot was supposed to update all the files that were in the previous category/template but that didn't happen or did not work as expected. Unfortunately I'm not sure what the fix is for this. // sikander { talk } 🦖 15:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting review[edit]

Hi, can you please review the license of this file? Thank you. SamsonM2 (talk) 08:10, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SamsonM2, I'm not too familiar with the GODL license requirements. Do you have the source link for that image instead of the direct jpg link ? See File:The Chairperson, National Advisory Council, Smt. Sonia Gandhi and the Member Parliament Shri Rahul Gandhi paying homage at the Samadhi of former Prime Minister, Late Smt. Indira Gandhi, on her 96th Birth Anniversary.jpg as an example for source information. Thanks. // sikander { talk } 🦖 12:43, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I have the source link: [1] SamsonM2 (talk) 12:45, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It seems like the image might not qualify for GODL. That link states "The Member List and Member Profile published in this page is sourced from the https://sansad.in/ls (Lok Sabha Website)" I suggest asking for review at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Regards // sikander { talk } 🦖 17:21, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question on EC images[edit]

Hi Sikander, I noticed that you nominated File:Ren - Moedas meeting (2016).jpg for deletion, citing that the scope is for information and education only. I wonder if it overrides the site copyright policy, i.e. falls under the "Unless otherwise indicated" circumstances. Because I may overlook the scope and maybe upload images with such constraints. Thanks. A1Cafel (talk) 14:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A1Cafel: There are a bunch of photos with that "information and education only" text. I'll email EC-AudioVisual staff and ask for clarification. They've been excellent in terms of response for all previous inquiries. Cheers. // sikander { talk } 🦖 02:17, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Today, I was replying to a question on Commosn:Help desk and it led to that statement "Scopes : Information and education only". (Also, it indirectly involves other files uploaded on 25 May 2022 by the same upoader.) My impression was the same as yours. Then I did a simple search on Commons for the string "Scopes : Information and education only" and it returned only two recent deletion requests by you and a 2023 question on Commons:Bistro. It is very surprising if there are no more discussions about it. Do you know if that statement is something that was only recently systematically added to E.C. photos? -- Asclepias (talk) 16:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Asclepias, I'm glad we both had the same idea about the text and recently EC staff confirmed that photos with this disclaimer cannot be licensed under CC (see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ren - Moedas meeting (2016).jpg). I've been tagging photos that have this disclaimer and unfortunately all of them will have to be deleted. Right now there are 4000+ EC images that have yet to be reviewed so not sure when to do a deletion request. Perhaps sooner is better, and please create the deletion nomination request if you want to start the process. Regards. // sikander { talk } 🦖 16:56, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
