Notification about possible deletion
Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.
If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue.

Thanks for uploading File:ElgooG.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

Thanks for uploading File:Dionysius Exiguus.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Caption copyright violation
Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (ALSJ), although hosted on a NASA site, is an independent venture that copyrights the descriptions and captions for the photos they upload. Therefore the captions such as the one you uploaded at File:AS11-40-5869-edit1.jpg are a copyright violation and need to be deleted (and rewritten in your own words). Also, you uploaded the third and fourth versions of one of the images, not sure if we need them? File:AS11-40-5869.jpg, File:AS11-40-5869 (21648755432).jpg, File:AS11-40-5869 (22056325122).jpg, File:AS11-40-5869-edit1.jpg (I see the one is rotated, one is poor quality, but I think the two remaining are duplicates). To find those, I just put the ID number into the search bar. Kees08 (talk) 17:35, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you, I have fixed the Copyright! I want to debunk the "rotated crosshair" conspiracy.

SpaceX Raptor
Why was SpaceX Raptor moved from its previous category name? It breaks the naming convention used by nearly all engine categories in Rocket engines of the United States, and all other SpaceX engine cats. Is this part of a broader renaming strategy? If so, that likely should be discussed more broadly. I'm not necessarily opposed, I just like consistency. — Huntster (t @ c) 19:27, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
May I ask where it says in the Wikimedia Commons policies and/or guidelines that the category name has to be the same name as their associated English Wikipedia article? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk) 07:51, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- It is an ad hoc practice that the category name has to be the same name as their associated English Wikipedia article. Also look at the above discussion. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 07:55, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- We are not beholden to the naming conventions of the English Wikipedia. Please do not change a category's name simply because they decide to make a change. — Huntster (t @ c) 08:27, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was about to say, you didn't even bother to reply to Huntster, so telling me to "look at the above discussion" is not helpful at all. It was less a discussion and more an editor expressing similar grievances. It being an "an ad hoc practice" is an exceptionally poor excuse, since it can be used to excuse basically anything without having to prove anything, really. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk) 08:40, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Illegal occupancy of Kashmir
Namaste, I have read about your current requests for renaming. They are all about Jammu & Kashmir. During rename requests you have mentioned them as 'Azad J&K'. I object your this word. Please remember that this part of J&K was illegally occupied by Pakistan in 1948. So, as Indians we can't use the word "Azad". Therefore I have declined your request for renaming.

Hello Soumya-8974,
please don't overwrite files in another language. You could have uploaded the English file as a separate file (Bombay_1956-1960 en.svg). The German-language file is the original and the English file is the derivative, not the other way round. Renaming the original does not make sense. --Furfur ⁂ Diskussion 17:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Regarding [1] your edit summary is inaccurate. It was very frequently referred to as such, and that was its full name. It's also how the majority of scholars refer to it.

We need your feedback!
Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!
I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.
We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.
Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.
Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, here at Commons we try to work by some approximation of group consensus. So opening a discussion about a category, renaming it anyway, then closing the discussion just seven minutes later is hardly "consensus", is it? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Cleanup Schriever Space Force Base
Recently, I am trying to reorganize most of the categories related to the US Space Force. However, when I renamed the Schriever Air Force Base category to Schriever Space Force Base and tried to move all the files, I found that the files moved to a maintenance category instead, and when I tried to move all those files in the maintenance categories back to SSFB, I found that several images unrelated to the base (or any kind of military in particular) are also categorized. So I need expert editors to cleanup the category. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 11:44, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Why remove the category of Cape Caveral LC-26 from the photo of the LC-26 blockhouse( File:LC-26 blockhouse.jpg? Bubba73 (talk) 07:12, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, there is a museum at the location of former LC-26 called Air Force Space and Missile Museum.

So I removed the LC-26 blockhouse from the category. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 07:17, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Two issues with recent activity
Hi Soumya. First, why are you moving elements of the Japanese Experiment Module from their official names to nicknames? Please stop this.
Second, why did you copy multiple images from SpaceX CRS-22 to Cargo Dragon C209? This is very unnecessary, as CRS-22 is a subcat of C209, and goes against standard Commons practice. The spacecraft is part of the mission from integration to a point past unloading, not just while it is launching or in space.
Thanks! — Huntster (t @ c) 18:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I have reverted my Cargo Dragon edits. In the case of the JEM, the module was known in its official name when the categories were created. When the whole module got the nickname "Kibo", the name is used in virtually everywhere, even in the present day (the abbreviation JEM is also used, but never its full form). So it is unlikely people will type "Japanese Experiment Module" while looking for Kibo. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:23, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Kibo has never been its official name. It is its nickname. See https://iss.jaxa.jp/en/kibo/, for example. Kibo is used as a simpler, easier to remember and use term, but Japanese Experiment Module was and remains the official title. If you're concerned about searchability, then create category redirects to the proper name. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I know, "Kibo" has never been the official name, but the official name "Japanese Experiment Module" is less common in formal publications since the adoption of the nickname. As I said before, it is unlikely for people to type the official name in the search bar for the module primarily known in its nickname, although node modules might be exceptions, where official names are also common (the Harmony module is also known as "Node 2" in general public). Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- As I said, create redirects rather than renaming and moving everything. It'll save you time and maintain correct information. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:35, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- As I noticed that a lot of ISS module names are in their nicknames, I thought the JEM and the PMM should too for the sake of consistency in category naming. I would do the opposite if the ISS module names were in their official names (like renaming "Kibo" to "Japanese Experiment Module", "Harmony" to "Node 2", "Destiny" to "US Laboratory Module" etc.). Anyway, thank you and happy editing. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:39, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, that's where you have to be especially careful. The nodes, for example, were officially renamed. They started life as Nodes, but were renamed through internal efforts and public competitions. See [2] and [3] as example sources. Things aren't always so simple. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

As I said before, it is unlikely for people to type the official name in the search bar for the module primarily known in its nickname, although node modules might be exceptions, where official names are also common (the Harmony module is also known as "Node 2" in general public).

- Kibo has never been its official name. It is its nickname. See https://iss.jaxa.jp/en/kibo/, for example. Kibo is used as a simpler, easier to remember and use term, but Japanese Experiment Module was and remains the official title. If you're concerned about searchability, then create category redirects to the proper name. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
As a separate observation, I note you changed "Satellite trails" to Satellite flares. While some changes needed to happen there, Satellite flares are a subtype of Satellite trails. Flares are brief flashes of reflected light (i.e., Iridium), where trails are consistent tracks in the sky (like what the ISS would present). — Huntster (t @ c) 18:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Quick note about some language quirks: "in" and "at" are used in weird ways, and for specific locations like KSC and CCSFS, "at" would be most appropriate. See https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/vs/using-at-vs-in-for-place-and-time-correctly.html for a more in-depth explanation. Additionally, in normal use, Kennedy Space Center (or CCSFS for that matter) should not have a "the" preceding it in prepositional phrases. Strangely enough though, in common usage, similar locations like "Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Center" do prepend "the". English makes no sense sometimes, because it's such a mutt of a language. — Huntster (t @ c) 15:47, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing this out, as English is not my first language and I will be more careful on creating categories. However, in Commons, categories related to the Kennedy Space Center always have a definite article before the name of the spaceport, so I can't fix that thing at all. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:20, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- It's all good. I didn't mean for you to have to change anything, just wanted it to be a note for the future. I know, painfully, just how obtuse English can be when it's a second or third language. — Huntster (t @ c) 20:54, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Stripping out categories (yet again)
Why are you bulk depopulating valid cats Category:Kennedy Space Center in 1968 ?
See [4] and many others. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:50, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Actually I had conflicting ideas on what to include or whatnot to avoid overcat issues. I previously categorised whole missions into the category, later only its launch categories. Now I am quite firm in my opinion that only the launch categories should be categorised if available. So I am partially reverting the mass depopulation as a result of this. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:18, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- You seem to do this an awful lot: implementing badly thought out changes, then sometimes reverting them wholesale (or just leaving them broken, like calling reentry vehicles "modules", even when they're the entire vessel). How about if you just stop making any of these bulk changes whenever the whimsy takes you, but you instead try discussing them beforehand and seeing what other editors think? – just as how we're supposed to work here. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Hmmm seems to be a good option. However, unlike Wikipedia, Commons does not have a centralised area to discuss such things. This is why I have to do these boldly. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:43, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Also, I will stop the non-trivial mergings of categories to minimise disruptions. I am also reverting my merge of reentry vehicles. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:45, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- But you're not are you? You haven't "reverted" this, you've just changed it again, to the even more nonsensical "reentry capsules". Andy Dingley (talk) 10:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- Uh, I have indeed reverted my merge of Reentry vehicles to Reentry modules, see the categories. I have renamed the Reentry modules category to Reentry capsules as part of an attempt to rescope the category. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:43, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- In what world is a nuclear missile RV (or at least, a prototype for one) File:Black Knight Gamma 201 engine and re-entry head.jpg a "reentry capsule" ? If you rescope the category, what about the RVs in it which are similarly not any sort of capsule? Or are you just going to create yet more sub-divided categories to no purpose, simply to make navigation unworkable. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing me that the file was in the wrong category. Happy editing. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 14:24, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Soumya-8974, if a rename request is declined please discuss the issue first before requesting it again. Thank you --Isderion (talk) 20:42, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- I was not re-requesting the rename. Instead, I was requesting a more minimal renaming than the earlier one. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:13, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- But are you aware of criterion 4, esp this:
- Just because images share a category does not mean that they are part of a set. There are two scenarios that this criterion is designed for. First, certain complex templates (such as those that use BSicons or that display football kits) assume that the images used in them will follow a specific naming convention. Wikisource also uses a specific naming convention for the source files they transcribe. Second, files that form parts of a whole (such as scans from the same book or large images that are divided into smaller portions due to Commons’ upload size restriction) should follow the same naming convention so that they appear together, in order, in categories and lists.
- How does this apply? --Isderion (talk) 23:24, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- The first scenario applies for the rendering, that it is a NASA image and images from NASA should follow the naming convention of "Image name (ID)" convention. I upload most images from NASA in this convention. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:36, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Where was the naming convention agreed upon? Which complex template requires the NASA images to be in the mentioned convention? --Isderion (talk) 20:51, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- I don't want to comment further on this as I have resoluted not to re-request any declined move request. Instead, I will create redirects for them. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:37, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
