Thanks for trying to fix this image. When this sort of damage occurs, the only fix I know is to trim off the bottom few pixels from the photo. There is probably a tool that could do better, but I'm unaware of it. -- (talk) 08:35, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Lets c if someone else can check the file when he sees the clean up template.--Sanandros (talk) 09:06, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Your assistance please

You deleted File:Philippine Marine Cpl. Milky Espere, left, and Cpl. Raymond Almonte, center, listen to U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Adrian Sandoval as he demonstrates how to disassemble a M240 machine gun 130405-F-HL283-112.jpg. Your entry in the deletion log may have a mistake because you seem to be sayin it is a duplicate of itself.

I searched for 130405-F-HL283-112 -- couldn't find it. Shouldn't the mil-ID have been merged into the file that got kept?

Usually don't we redirect the duplicate to the file that gets kept? Geo Swan (talk) 05:08, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

I think i tricked here my self by open 2 tabs and i thought they where duplicates. I redirect usually only if they are used and not when the pics are pretty fresh uploaded.--Sanandros (talk) 06:46, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

MOD OGL duplicates

Hi, I spotted you working to fix duplicates like File:Anti-narcotics operations from Defence Imagery 10.jpg. If you are merging the information taken from the MOD API that my uploads use, can you please ensure that the attribution is correct on the OGL for whichever file remains? The MOD require attribution, so the licence should have this included in the same way I have done on my uploads (attribution can be a legal condition of OGL, in a way that does not happen for PD). By the way, so long as the image page refers anywhere to the MOD image name, in this case "45153802.jpg", the duplicate would be detected even though the SHA-1 does not give a match due to the EXIF data changing. Please refer to User_talk:Fæ#Duplicate_problem for a directly related discussion. Thanks -- (talk) 08:53, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Why?

Why're you putting some of my uploaded pics on one of your page, as well as the photos uploaded by user Tekogi? Tomandandy (talk) 13:15, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

This is a page which is updated by the ogre bot which informs me about new uploads in the category:firearms.--Sanandros (talk) 13:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh, OK. :) Tomandandy (talk) 08:20, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

january 1971 in vietnam

hello;

why exactly did you remove this category from a file that is clearly dated to january of 1971, & clearly shows a location in vietnam?

Lx 121 (talk) 11:30, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Cause it was a red cat and it was the only pic which makes a cat no more usefull.--Sanandros (talk) 19:02, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
...& you felt that there was no possibility of finding more pictures of vietnam in january 1971? in the middle of the vietnam war?
or, you felt that there was no usefulness to having pictures of the vietnam war in chronological order?
or...?
this is not wikipedia; wikipedia is an encyclopedia, commons is a catalogue-archive. a category red-link is not an "automatic" delete. one is expected to think "is this category useful for the organizational schema?", before acting.
please DO NOT arbitrarily erase categories "because it is a red link".

Waves-Bilder mit "Stop watchung us"-Poster

Hallo Sanandros,
Du hast bei zwei von mir hochgeladenen Bilder (File:WAVES VIENNA 2013 Flex Donaukanal 01.jpg u. File:WAVES VIENNA 2013 Flex Donaukanal 02.jpg), die ich u.a. in die Kategorien Category:Demonstrations and protests against Barack Obama, Category:Demonstrations and protests in support of Bradley Manning, Category:2013 Mass Surveillance Disclosures und Category:Edward Snowden eingetragen hatte, diese vier entfernt - kommentar- bzw. begründunsglos. Ich habe das jetzt wieder rückgängig gemacht. Kategorien hier dienen doch dazu, dass Commons-Benutzer Medienfiles zu den Bereichen finden, für die sie sich gerade interessieren. Diese Kategorien zu entfernen würde es praktisch unmöglich machen, diese Fotos in diesen Bereichen zu finden. Wozu soll es gut sein, die Bilder zu verstecken? --Tsui (talk) 09:29, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Weil das minor topics auf den bildern sind. so verlinke ich zb auch nicht jeden fitzel einer waffe obwohl man das leicht unterscheiden könnte.--Sanandros (talk) 00:48, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

you wrote here that :

"A house with a parquet floor is usually not situated in a public place"

Please note that a "public place" means a publicly accessible place, not necessarily outside in the street. This entrance hall is publicly accessible. So your argument is irrelevant...

Djampa (talk) 08:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes but if u can close it with a door that's no more publicly acesable. But do u mabe know the artist who made that lion? If that is the case then you can ask him if he agrees that this picture can be published as a Creative Commons license. But you have to explain him that this doesen't mean that the lion is also licened if he fears that someone would copy him.--Sanandros (talk) 13:53, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

NKVD

I am not sure I can agree with Special:Diff/147786419. It is true that "NKVD is a ministerium for internal affairs", but at a time one of its parts (GUGB) was a successor of OGPU and prececessor of NKGB, MGB and KGB, which, I'd say, also makes it an intelligence agency. If there was a separate category for that part, things would be different - but there seems to be no such category. --Martynas Patasius (talk) 20:57, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

The NKVD had always GUBG for intelligence so that should be categorized respectively. The problem with the articles on wp is that they focus too much on the great purge and other repressions instead of having a balanced article. But it seems for me also a problem to find books which are scientifically written instead they are just writing about the most popular topics.--Sanandros (talk) 20:58, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
"The NKVD had always GUBG for intelligence so that should be categorized respectively." - so, how exactly..? With a separate category "GUGB"? Or in some other way? After all, something does have to end up in category "Soviet intelligence agencies".
"The problem with the articles on wp is that they focus too much on the great purge and other repressions instead of having a balanced article." - how exactly is that related to the matter at hand, given that we are not discussing any article of Wikipedia..? --Martynas Patasius (talk) 01:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi sry that i still didn't answer, will do that later this day.--Sanandros (talk) 06:14, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
The last answer was to claryfiy that we are speaking about the same thing. But what I have a problem is that in the NKVD were also other things orgenized like firefighters, the normal prisons and internal troops and it would be awkward to see pics suddenly listed in intelligence. So it would be better if we make a cat with these intelligence organizations or wie make a cat which is called, "Cat:intelleigence sections of the NKVD" --Sanandros (talk) 09:59, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Categories

Hallo. Just curious why you removed Category:National Security Agency, United States from Category:2013 Mass Surveillance Disclosures? I tagged it so you wouldn't have to dig through 5 layers of other categories to get there, and the documents are created/published by NSA. Not criticising, just would generally like to know for future reference. Also: a lot of contents in the Disclosure Cat point to NSA, so maybe can just link Disclosure instead of each individually? Danke. --dsprc (talk) 05:13, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

This is according to COM:overcat as not to put an category in another category and it's parent category.--Sanandros (talk) 05:39, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Picture Use

Hi there, I would like to utilize some of the pictures owned by you for some designs that will be emailed to clients. Please tell me whether I need to pay you if I'm not able to credit your website. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jewel-8291 (talk • contribs)

I'm not the copyright owner of the pictures which I uploaded, but lot's of pictures are in public domain because they were made by the US Military and you are free to use without giving any credit. Other pictures have a licnece and the copyright owner needs to be contacted but I'd help you if you tell me which particular pictures you need.--Sanandros (talk) 12:12, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. Sure I can specify the pictures that I want to use. Should I link you here or somewhere else? --Jewel-8291

Sorry if I bother you with adding another new topic. I was just concerned whether you received my reply since I don't really know how talk page works. Please let me know if I should provide you a list of pictures here or somewhere else (email etc). Sorry for the inconvenience caused and thank you.--Jewel-8291

You can copy the links of the picures here. And you don't need to open an new topic as the wiki software is automaticly informing me if somebody wrote on my talk page.

File:United States Navy SEALs 244.jpg

Per this edit. Based on it being an EOTech holographic sight it is therefor not a "reflex sight". Reflex sight is short for "reflector sight", i.e. they use some form of mirror combined with a collimator to create an image that is reflected towards the user, hence the name. EOTech holographic sights do not use any mirror to create the image, the hologram is built into the optical window so no "reflectors" are involved, they are and are called "holographic sights". Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 00:25, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

This diagram shows some reflectors and a collimator.--Sanandros (talk) 06:42, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
The reflectors, collimator (and holography grating) are for the laser that illuminates the transmission hologram, it needs to be illuminated from an exact angle. Transmission holograms are not focused or reflected and all the illumination apparatus is arranged on the opposite side of the window from the viewer, a totally different technology and a 180% opposite layout to all reflector sights, which reflect a focused image of a physical reticule that sits on the same side of the window as the viewer. Some links explaining [1] [2] Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 21:35, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Best practices for deleting duplicates

Hi, I can see you have today deleted File:Marines, ANSF find weapons caches, secure southern river valley DVIDS364726.jpg‎ as a duplicate, which is perfectly correct. However in the process of merging, it would have been good to keep the public domain release as the primary quoted license, rather than leaving the CC-BY-SA-2.0 license which Flickr defaults to. A key advantage of uploading from DVIDs is there are no moral rights required on the image and this avoids any possible confusion for reusers. Could you take another look at it and consider how best to merge the data rather than defaulting to the oldest image page?

See Commons:Village_pump#Files_starting_with_File:Flickr_-_DVIDSHUB_- for a related discussion. Thanks -- (talk) 13:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Your revert

Hi Sanandros, you reverted my edit. So would you please be so kind to close this CfD due to your revert? Regards, --Achim (talk) 16:43, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Yes because I pretty often type in Zastava M84 in HotCat, that's why I still need it. If we agree to change all Zastava firearms to M84 or M70 instead of Zastava M70 then we can delete it cause then I know Zastava is not needed.--Sanandros (talk) 16:48, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Pardon? Zoupan requested just to swap the category names M84 and Zastava M84 as you might have seen, so it shouldn't make any difference to your needs. --Achim (talk) 17:10, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

24th Special Operations Wing

This is the current name of the wing and the appropriate category for images associated with it. Picking one of the wing's old names is not appropriate (except possibly to establish a subcategory). Also your changes placed your categories in multiple locations on the category tree (formations and wings of USAF), which is seldom appropriate. I've restored the category and returned the images to it. If you would like a subcategory of 24th Wing for images when it had that designation, feel free. Images from other periods when it has been the 24th Composite Wing, 24th Air Commando Wing, 24th Special Operations Wing or 24th Composite Group would not be appropriate in such a subcategory, though. On the other hand, I see no purpose for a "Lineage" category that does nothing to illustrate the wing's lineage. Lineagegeek (talk) 15:39, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

My goal is to separate pics of the AFSOC era and per AFSOC era. 24th SO Wing has till now no AFSOC era pics so it's now ok but for how long. The 24th Wing (Linage) was just a cat so you can categories all previous units, like Composite, Air Commando, in one cat. I don't care if we have another term in the brackets for the superior cat.--Sanandros (talk) 06:30, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
There are now images from 24th Wing, 24th Composite Wing and 24th Special Operations Wing era, if you'd like to make sub categories. This has the potential to get complex aince the unit had had the same designations more than one time, though. Mit freundlichen Grüßen. --Lineagegeek (talk) 11:33, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

Critically evaluate Flickr licenses
File:Bride photo.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. You may have preserved the information shown on Flickr correctly when transferring the image here, but the Flickr uploader is not the copyright holder of this image. Either the image was created by someone else, or it is a derivative of someone else's work. As stated in Commons:Licensing, only the copyright holder may issue a license, so the one shown on Flickr is invalid. Always remember to critically evaluate Flickr licenses. Photostreams with professional-looking photographs, album covers, posters, and images in a wide range of styles or quality taken by many different cameras often indicate that the Flickr uploader either does not understand or does not care about copyright matters. See Commons:Questionable Flickr images for a list of known bad Flickr users.

About some closes

Hi Sanandros: I see you are recently active again in the Deletion Nominations. Might I ask why we need to keep unused duplicates? Commons:Deletion requests/File:PV 2000-2016.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Swanson-effect.jpg & Commons:Deletion requests/File:Balance-neto.jpg. In all three cases, an SVG of exactly the same file was prepared. The JPG was taken out of service prior to the nomination. The files are no longer in use, the SVG is a "better" file for many reasons. Please tell me why you went with the comment of a multiply-blocked volunteer who had several of their rights removed instead of with the nomination from an admin? These both fall under COM:NOTUSED with the observation that should they ever be needed, the SVG is identical. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:45, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Yes but I think it is important to keep the history of the files and sometimes people outside of the wikimedia universe like to use or also to refer to the jpg version instead of the svg version. And with deleting we don't gain space on our servers anyway.--Sanandros (talk) 14:57, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Then please work to change COM:NOTUSED to more accurately represent your opinions, as it is now, it would appear that duplicates (regardless of server space) are not required. Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:22, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
Yea first point is legal the second point is half legal half technical. That with server space is for me not so important. But I'd like to know if you agree with me with the first two points or not.--Sanandros (talk) 18:26, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:26th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron

Why did you remove the Camp Bastion category from Category:26th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron?

Gavbadger (talk) 18:58, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

A Squad is by definition not a military aircraft and it can also operate outside of the camp.--Sanandros (talk) 19:57, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
The base was were the unit was headquartered, so if I was too rename the category to Aviation units, Camp Bastion would that be satisfactory for you to allow the unit into the category? (unless you have a better name) ? Gavbadger (talk) 20:05, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Hmm the Category:Federal Bureau of Investigation is for example not categorized in Washington DC but other units or organizations are categorized in the belonging location cat. I'm personally against it cause if I'm looking for pics of the camp I get eventually pics from somewhere else. But I saw right now also in the de wp (which usually has a very strict cat regularity) is no consequent rule.--Sanandros (talk) 20:42, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Thank you, I'll leave it how it is. Gavbadger (talk) 20:47, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
@Gavbadger: Now I get the de wp logic which would also fit for commons: The article, here would be the gallery, is categorized in the location cat but the cat should not be categorized in the location cat. So if u make a gallery page with the 26th ERS it would be fine to put that into the Camp Bastion cat.--Sanandros (talk) 14:36, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

A request

The term "sea trial" has had a specific technical meaning, for well over one hundred years. When a vessel has been launched, prior to the eventual owner accepting delivery, they undergo testing, to see whether they measure up to their specification -- that is a "sea trial". The term is also applied when a vessel is coming out of drydock, after a major refit, to see whether it still measures up to its specs.

  1. I see someone, or multiple people, added about five dozen images to Category:Sea Trials of USNA students undergoing a training exercise apparently called "sea trial". IMO these should more appropriately have been added to something like Category:USNA operation sea trial.
  2. I see you added one of those images.

Would you please remove any images you added to Category:Sea Trials that are not of vessels undergoing acceptance testing? Geo Swan (talk) 04:27, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Geo, I created also sea trials back then in 2010 as subcat of the Naval Academy.

Declining obvious copyvios

Excuse me, but I don't understand why you declined speedy deletion of Thekao09's uploads, which were very obviously copyvios. All of them were all uploaded with a false own work claim, and no truthful credit to the author. No-permission cases must at least have correct author info. --Paul_012 (talk) 22:05, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Just give it seven days. Maybe the uploader is saying something.--Sanandros (talk) 22:07, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
I doubt it. If you check his/her logs, there are plenty of other deleted copyvios there. Also, I had just reported the user at COM:AN/B. If you're expecting a reply you might want to comment there to let other admins know. --Paul_012 (talk) 22:11, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Yea I know that lot's of admins are more likly to delete such files fast. I prefere anyway the DR way. Because like this we give (theoreticaly) the users a way to participate. The problem is indeed that a lot of users don't understand copyright.--Sanandros (talk) 22:18, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Hello Sanandros, I agree with Paul 012 - at least regarding my 2 speedy nominations that you re-tagged as regular nominations. I appreciate you have re-tagged these files in good faith, but clearly (or very likely) false "own works" claims regarding publicly available Internet images are not "no permission". They are copyright violations (or more precisely files with strong evidence for a copyright violation), and should be tagged as such. Regardless of your personal preference, such files clearly meet Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion (and I research every single case on its own merits) - please do not re-tag them without a policy-based reason. GermanJoe (talk) 22:31, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
New users usually take the own template because they don't know how to use commons. And you also wrote already "strong evidence for a copyright violation" which is legaly still not a proof. So usually a judge would open a case and write a letter to the opponent. If the opponent is not answering then the judge decides usually according to the requesting party. And that's how I also do it.--Sanandros (talk) 22:49, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
I also have to mention that I think your personal definition of what constitutes "speedy" is not in line with Wikimedia policies and goals. It would be good if you didn't put your personal impressions ahead of the good of Commons. The Speedies you converted to DNs today were clearly copyright violations. Ellin Beltz (talk) 23:21, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Then what is for you a clear copyright violation?--Sanandros (talk) 23:32, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
Just a suggestion: if you disagree with some of the speedy deletion criteria or interpret them differently, I suggest to open a wider discussion to get these points clarified. But until then, please trust the judgement of your fellow editors and do not re-tag further files (unless you have clear and specific reasons to doubt a nomination). Personally, I research every case as carefully as possible. Aside from the occasional human mistake, where corrections are greatly appreciated :), I try my very best to limit speedy nominations to clear cases per policy - these nominations usually do not need double-checking or second-guessing.

Deletion request

Hi,

You declined this deletion request. It’s not me but the real “owner” of the signature who wants the file to be deleted. I already removed the signature from the wiki article, but the picture also needs to be removed. Please accept the request, thank you! --JMP93 (talk) 15:22, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Kannst du denn die Unmstände schildenr wo die Unterschrift denn erschien?--Sanandros (talk) 21:09, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Sanandros! Ich bin mit diesem Edit nicht ganz einverstanden bzw. wüsste gerne, weshalb Du meine Markierung zurückgenommen hast. Zur Info: Das Foto wurde (wie auch angegeben: "Foto feita por J.R. Duran") nicht vom Hochlader selbst sondern von einem "J.R. Duran" erstellt. Im übrigen wurde das Foto von Facebook kopiert. Danke für jeden Hinweis. Gunnex (talk) 08:18, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Also ich habe das so interpretiert dass J.R. Duran im Foto dargestellt worden ist. Aber ok mit mehr erhlklähung sehe ich schon dass es auf Commons eine genehmigung braucht.--Sanandros (talk) 14:41, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Declined deletion request of a document depicting GPL text

Hi, you've declined Commons:Deletion requests/File:GPLstatements consumerentertainmentdevices.jpg.

The scope of the deletion request was explicitly to exclude the text of GPL from the deletion request, which User:RoundupResistance pointed out. The deletion request concerns the threshold of originality of the surrounding text, including the white page on the right and parts of the notice on the left. This also includes © 2010 Sony Corporation at bottom left. The white paper on right side doesn't seem to hold a copyright notice, so doubtly it could be non-free.

I believe this resolution was done in error. Would you like to re-assess your judgement (edit the reason for keep or removal) or should I re-nominate it for deletion? Thanks. 2001:2003:54FA:D2:0:0:0:1 16:55, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

  • Yes but that is below threshold as I found the first sentence www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=5&ved=0ahUKEwjO4MqOwtfVAhXDAxoKHa-PC_IQFgg3MAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fjoqs.jupiter.com%2FSupport%2FHOLD%2FDocuments%2FFC4000%2520manuals%2FControlPoint%2520Software.pdf&usg=AFQjCNHEvwvVZk04bwKy8X1Vqb0Cx-lUlg here.

Grandfather case

Hello,

Can I ask you what is the grandfather case?

Best,

--AntonierCH (d) 16:26, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

This is a file of 2005 and there not all policies which we have right now where established back then. So I interpreted the authors will like this that he doesn't want that somebody takes his file without proper credit.--Sanandros (talk) 16:55, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Well, we have Commons:Grandfathered old files. It is an official policy. May be it is good idea to add {{Grandfathered old file}} to the file. -- Geagea (talk) 23:11, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests

Hello, Sanandros, I write to you because I noticed that you have recently reset some portraits and paintings of the ambras castle, and I wanted to restore some files from the PD license with copyright expired for more than 100 years, since the artists or photographers who have Created this work were deceased

here

--79.31.200.224 18:04, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes there the case was for me clear and I checked each file. At the other cases there I would suggest to to a com:LR.--Sanandros (talk) 18:51, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, but I say you will have time to restore some of them? Of these lists?--79.31.200.224 21:07, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Your welcome. Actually I wanted to use some time for writing some articles as I'm waiting to find time for them maybe at the weekend I will have time.--Sanandros (talk) 21:17, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
helloSanandros, I'm writing to tell you that this week is almost over, and I would like to take advantage of it if you now have time to deal with the restoration of these files that I asked you, getting the good answer you told me, that is, you would be Busy at the end of the week, how do you see now let's say i call you ahahahahaha, do you have time now?--82.50.38.120 23:55, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks very much, I would ask her not to stop ahahahah and will see with her eyes the correctness of the licenses PD ahahah :)--87.14.89.32 09:17, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
I done right now one case. The other cases I will see later if I can do them.--Sanandros (talk) 09:40, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Repeated files

Mr Sanandros, I write to you that I have noticed recently that you have restored some portraits from the previous request of an anonymous user who had made the request for restoration, but I see that it seems that in those lists she has left almost the job In half, they are mischievous too, so I would like to allow them if they do not have the trouble to restore them again to those of the COM: UDR "are very important files from the historical and artistic point of view, and if you personally can not find the time To restore them, at least send them to other interested users like you who can restore them, "I can ask you to continue to restore those files that he had listed with incoming source, I know he had done it to avoid having trouble with the source," but it would be It is a good idea to restore those important portraits, and from the list I saw is not the tip of the iceberg, and if it seems too difficult for the company to engage other pe R favors, they misunderstand me of cuei wonderful PD files ,,, I can pretend to ask if it would feel like to continue according to its strength to restore those files of that user ??? And if you feel it involves more people,, But personally please this thing should be more than a person, I just wrote to her since she had already begun giving such restoration :), (if you find free time to dedicate it)--82.48.43.128 23:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

--82.48.43.128 23:57, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Pls request an undeletion request so everybody can contribute to that request.--Sanandros (talk) 05:26, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
but if I do not cancel the requests without even seeing them--79.17.31.100 10:01, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

The deleted file

I have got permission to upload the deleted file File:Nepal before Sugauli Treaty.jpg from it's owner. Under what license i will need to upload it. गणेश कक्षे (talk) 02:17, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

@गणेश कक्षे: The copyright holder needs do define a license. I would advice to use {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} but the copyright holder can choose between various license here. After he have chosen a license he needs to send an e-mail to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with the link https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Nepal_before_Sugauli_Treaty.jpg and the choosen license. So something like: "I the copyright holder publish the file https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Nepal_before_Sugauli_Treaty.jpg under the cc-by-sa-4.0 license".--Sanandros (talk) 06:47, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Imported templates

May I argue most templates imported by @Sreejithk2000 on 16 August 2017 and 17 August 2017 are actually useless... See Special:Log/import. Some were recreated after previous community consensus to delete them (e.g. Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Infobox) and they're only in use on promotional userpages (which led me to make a huge purge request today, Commons:Deletion requests/Pages transcluded from Template:Infobox person and few more individually for other templates). 2001:2003:54FA:2751:0:0:0:1 21:34, 5 September 2017 (UTC); edited 21:37, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Yea that's why I was not sure what's going on with these templates. If I delete them it could cause some damage, that's why I opened the DR. But as u pinged Sreejithk2000 he will probably answer here.--Sanandros (talk) 21:52, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
I imported them because a few user pages were using it and I was trying to fix the broken links. Not sure what happened to those user pages now. These templates can now be deleted since they are no longer in use. --Sreejith K (talk) 16:27, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
There are a few more of these unneeded templates here Category:Pages with template loops --Sreejith K (talk) 16:28, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Sanandros, könnte es sein, dass Du genau die falsche Version gelöscht hast? Ich hatte die PNG version gereinigt, so dass sie eine gültige „richtige“ PNG darstellt. Die jetzige JPG ist die Notkrücke inklusive Warnung und Erbittung einer PNG bzw. SVG. Ich würde die JPG wegen der Upload-Historie als „Original“ behalten wollen oder die Historie der PNG hnzf. Grüße --Ras67 (talk) 13:30, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

@Ras67: Also ich habe mal die png Version wieder hochgeladen. Ein anderer User hat die File als duplicate markiert.--Sanandros (talk) 16:51, 28 September 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.50.35.204 (talk) 18:01, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
