Category:VV as W

This category is now having no files, as all look like migrated to Category:W as VV, no idea if the previous one can be {{Category redirect}}ed to later one or not? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:11, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

• Obviously not, as they are different concepts, fully symmetric. If it’s empty, it should be tagged with {{Prospective category}}. It is likely, though, that it is empty because its contents were wongly moved due to misunderstanding of both categories vis-a-vis each other, and those misedits should be identified and undone ASAP. I would further ask you to futurely start this kind of discussion in the relevant file or category talk page, not in a user’s talk page. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 04:18, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Eliminação?

Oi Tuvalkin, tudo bem?

Estou um pouco ferrugento nas regras de eliminação aqui do Commons, podias dar-me uma ajuda com uma coisa?

Encontrei duas imagens que acho serem redundantes: File:Restauradores metro station (40463484690).jpg e File:Fools Errand Trying to visit (41549050054).jpg.

A segunda é simplesmente um crop da primeira, mantendo a mesma resolução.

Existe alguma regra de eliminação aplicável nestes casos? Obrigado! Cmpts, EuTuga ^msg 18:53, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Parece-me que este caso está liminarmente relacionado com {{Duplicate}}, mas havendo duas imagens originais em separado, é melhor criar um DR (enlace q diz «Nominate for deletion» na barra lateral) — se achares que realmente vale a pena o trabalho. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 03:46, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi !

may i know why did you revert this edit ? https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:GOTOkey(ZXSpectrum).jpg&oldid=prev&diff=653113445

Did i made a particular mistake ?

Sincerely Miniwark (talk) 07:45, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

@Miniwark: I presumed it was an error that’d need no further dicussion or comment: That one tight crop of a larger one showing an utilitarian object on a featureless background is the epitome of what an “art photo” is not.

Didn’t you do it by mistake? Then one of us is worng about what {{Art Photo}} is for. Maybe it’s me and it is not specifically meant for artistic photos? Eitherway, I am not convinced that assorted file info templates is a better solution than generic use of {{Info}}. If that’s the case, then I should have not rolled back your edit wordlessly, but if a discussion is warranted, it is vaster than the matter of that particular file and should be held centrally. If such discussion already took place, please point it out to me.

-- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 08:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Humm probably my mistake in this case, i was converting the outdated {{Object Photo}} to {{Art Photo}}, and was thinking because the source image is {{Art Photo}} then this derived work is too. {{Info}} will do the job for this one i think.

Thanks for uploading File:№4066@мр45(занос19м).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.

Pois tou a ver. Bom, a Ellywa tem razão — aquilo não se presta a isenção de copyright por via da simplicidade do desenho. Eu ainda tentei o ângulo de se tratar de um objeto produzido em massa, mas parece que isso não é critério para aferir se algo está em domínio público.

A única safa q vejo pra isto é fotos tipo esta ou esta, onde se pode argumentar q o bilhete é incidental no enquadramento, configurando uma situação de minimims.

Confesso que não consigo alcançar onde é que uma fotografia de um objeto pode infringir o copyright do objeto. É que se formos por essa lógica não pode haver fotografias de nada a não ser de paredes e árvores. Se tirar uma fotografia ao meu carro estou a infringir copyright por ter lá a marca do carro? lol Ligaanet (talk) 22:52, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Pois é, a legislação internacional sobre o copyright não é para perceber. Mas é para cumprir, e aqui no Commons e nas Wikipédias só cumprindo-a à risca é que estamos seguros de garantir que se trata de conteúdo isento de ilegalidades e assim apto para distribuição livre. Nota que qs ninguém aqui é entusiasta deste estado de coisas: Isto é visto como uma lei injusta cujo cumprimento à risca é feito a contra-gosto.

A maneira como a legislação internacional sobre o copyright nos afeta aqui e em projetos análogos (e também coisas como um barbeiro q tem música a tocar sem licença lá no estaminé e leva da ASAE por isso uma multa mais severa do que se andasse a pôr ao pescoço dos clientes toalhas mal lavadas) parece — e é — contraditória e kafkiana por que se lhes aplicam as notas de rodapé e os por-conseguintes de uma legislação que afinal tem sido cozinhada para servir as grandes gravadoras e os grandes estúdios, nomeadamente a Disney, cujo modelo de negócio começou a deixar de fazer sentido quando apareceram as cassetes, e que hoje em dia é um castelo de cartas que subsiste apenas à custa desta mesma legislação e de hablidades tecnológicas tipo DRMs e regiões DVD.

De legislação sobre copyright conheço o suficiente para saber que sei muito pouco, e para saber que nem quero saber mais, e para saber que é uma fantochada pegada. Se quiseres saber mais, aconselho-te material sobre o assunto neste blogue: https://ktreta.blogspot.com/search/label/copyright — eu deixei de lá ir qd o Krippahl “tomou a pílula vermelha”, mas tem lá coisas muito bem vistas sobre esta temática.

your letter-combinations-categories

Hi Tuvalkin, a number of originally created-by-you categories have been tagged for speedy deletion for being empty by 3rd party. Do you contest that or agree to? --Túrelio (talk) 17:48, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

@Túrelio: Thanks for letting me know! I had noticed, but I have no contention in general: Most of those SD markings are correct (I challenged the ones that were not) and these categories are trivial to recreate or (better) to undelete when needed. There is however one thing bugging me: I know I didn’t create empty categories, therefore this situation means that either a lot of files (mostly logos) has been deleted recently, or that a lot of files has been uncategorized recently, which is not a good thing. I have all categories I created in my whichlist, however, and I don’t recall any recent indication that files have been removed from them — quite puzzling. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 20:43, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

But this IP-edit was from 2021. The speedy-tagging was by Allforrous. So, the latter shall be reverted? --Túrelio (talk) 09:14, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, meanwhile I saw that — and also that I had patrolled all edits by this one IP back then except, for no reason, the uncategorization of the AXA logo. I think this cat was indeed empty for 2y and Allforrous is not tagging recently emptied cats.

Some of these letter combinations cats were created by this same person under numerous IPs back then. These are the reamining cats that were either completely correct (very few) or that were corrected by me or others — but they mostly remained empty because, albeit correctly formed (in terms of their parent cats via template), no contents were found for them in the meanwhile.

Most of the work of this person (typography-related categories and categorization) could not be salvaged in this manner as it was 100% nonsense.

Thanks again for warning me.

There are no “double names” in Portuguese onomastics, I am sure of that: Most of us have two given names, but those are in free combination and it makes no sense in categorize those random pairings as units (with some specific exceptions); I tried to fix this back when, was reverted (by people who admittedly also had «no knowledge about Portuguese names»), I moved on. This issue with given names, however, is lesser than the unrepairable mess that plagues Portuguese surname categorization in Commons (ditto concerning my efforts in fixing it back then), one also contaminated by WD’s unstoppable torrent of poorly curated data. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 08:41, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok. I've deleted Category:José António (given name) now. However, I couldn't even remove this cat from all cats, where is was used, because in some it was "combined" with a year. --Túrelio (talk) 10:25, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Sun/gold symbols

Hi. I think it's good you separated these out from 'solar symbol', but generally any contemporary solar symbol was used for gold. I think the only exception among the files in our cat is probably the biennial symbol, since that's specifically botanical. Kwamikagami (talk) 00:35, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, that will have to be addressed futurely: I think this and other such symbols should/could better categorized. That cat rename I made was only one small step in the right direction, I think, as I’m currently working on the modern element symbols instead, but it will be eventually picked up, by me or someone else. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 00:45, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Guard fitness program shows results 140523-Z-ZZ999-011.jpg

Hi Tuvalkin, this comment was unnecessarily rude without adding anything constructive to the discussion. Please consider COM:CIVIL. This applies also to those who do comment using an IP address. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 04:44, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

What was rude about it? Do you mean the wording I used was rude? — however I merely reused it («incredibly weak») in response to the previous comment that contained it… Or do you mean that what is rude my opinion, by itself, that unlogged users have no place in Commons discussions? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 04:52, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Tuvalkin, the concern by the IP that the name of the depicted person was still in the version history was an important point. Describing this valid concern as “incredibly weak” in combination with your remark against the participation of IPs was indeed rude. See COM:CIVIL#Identifying incivility, point 1d, “belittling a fellow editor”. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 05:12, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for replying, @AFBorchert: I presumed my points, meant as constructive, to be clear and obvious. Let me try again:

1. The name of the depicted person still in Commons being an issue, it should be fixed, as suggested, by deleting the revisions still holding it, not by deleting the file. This is akin to ask for deletion of a file because it is miscategorized or lacks a description. A weak argument indeed.
2. The name of the depicted person being available in archived pages, both ours and the original military website’s — well, also not a reason to delete, then, as it wouldn’t accomplish the desired disappearence. Another weak argument.
3. The name of the depicted person in this filepage being an issue, yet it is visible in other photos from the same source (both in Commons and in the original military website), as reported in the DR. However, nobody is asking for its removal there, too (yet). Is it beceause this is just all about acquiescing to the loud (and very rude) o.p.?, or because nobody on the deletion side even noticed? Again — weak argument.
4. Does terming some argument «incredibly weak» constitute a case of sanctionable rudeness? I’m sure you find much worse every day in Commons discussions: do you go to the talk pages of all those involved admonish about COM:CIVIL?
5. I repeat that the phrase «incredibly weak» was first used in this discussion not by me but by the IP I was replying to. If you really think it’s rude — are you going to warn similarly the one who first uttered it? No, you’re not — you cannot because that person is not logged in and IP addresses are volatile. And that leads to the crux of the matter:
6. Who is a «fellow editor»? Can an IP be one? Even if the same IP address is consistently used throughout a specific discussion, how can dialog be mantained? There is a lack of guaranteed persistence, and there is the matter of legibility — IP numbers, either hex or dec, are not use-friendly handles and would not be acceptable as a user name. Furthermore, when IP addresses exhibit knowledge of the project’s work as done behind the scenes, such as DRs and indeed most discussions and talk pages, “fellow editors” experience that uneasy feeling that one might be interacting with an experienced editor, otherwise unlogged — and therefore incurring in abuse of multiple accounts and playing everybody for fools. As an admin, doesn’t this worry you? That was my point when questioning the legitimacy of the comment I was answering to — I’m sorry that it come out as a personal attack, but how could it not, even if I had used the mildest of wordings?
7. But could I have used a phrase milder than "put up with"? I could and I should, and I would if I were to do it again. It wouldn’t change the matter at hand, though — that the mere presence of IPs in a discussion is a source of mistrust and uneasiness, no rudeness required.

I appreciate your input. (I will add points 1-3 above to the DR, since I was not clear about what I think are the «incredibly weak» arguments.) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:14, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

I make it short as the discussion about the DR belongs into the DR. Adding actual reasonings as you did here is fine and was exactly what I was missing in your initial reply. Thank you for this. All comments in a DR should add something constructively to the discussion. Just saying “weak argument” without rationale but with an argument against the poster (in this case the poster being an IP) appears to be rude. Yes, IPs are allowed to comment in our DRs. Propose a policy at COM:VPP if you want to block IPs from commenting in DR discussions. The hint by the IP that the name is still visible in the revision history was not “weak” but an important point which caused me to check this and to hide those revisions. --AFBorchert (talk) 15:24, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

fixes to Template:Lettercombo?

Hi. I see that you have done a lot of editing on this template. Apart from it really needs some documentation so users can utilise it appropriate, it is spawning red links which are not obvious how to fix. Page Category:9F letter combinations creates red links to a see also, which is not ideal. I would have thought that these could be overwritten (no docs), or they would be tested to not appear if the target page did not exist. Would you be able to look at and resolve? Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 20:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

I’ll try to add some documentation ASAP. Category:9F letter combinations (and a few such others) has red links because "9" is not really a letter and {{Lettercombo}} was never meant for it: Its current scope is basic Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic letters — other scripts can be used as needed, but combos of letters and digits, while categorization-worthy on their own, should be categorized manually or using a different, maybe broader, categorization template. The redlinks could be avverted in the code, but adding a lot of expensive #ifexist calls seems to be worse than just undo do those misuses of the template itself. Please note that unexpected use such as in Category:9F letter combinations is mostly due to the edits of one prolific but exceptionally clueless IP user, whom reverting is as fascinating as it is tedious when it has to be done multiple times a week. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 12:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Memo: See Template talk:Symbolcombo — work to be done there. Also, images of “funny” Cyrillic and Greek letters needed to avoid flagging at Category:Category pages with broken file links. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 21:17, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

fixes to Template:Lettercombo?

Hi. I see that you have done a lot of editing on this template. Apart from it really needs some documentation so users can utilise it appropriate, it is spawning red links which are not obvious how to fix. Page Category:9F letter combinations creates red links to a see also, which is not ideal. I would have thought that these could be overwritten (no docs), or they would be tested to not appear if the target page did not exist. Would you be able to look at and resolve? Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 20:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

It’s not {{PD-simple}}, but better ask at COM:Copyright. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 23:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Purpose of some categories?

Hi. I am wondering on the purpose of the categories such as Category:BSicon/chronology/uploads/2006-11, especially with all their dead images that turn up in maintenance cats. If they are created and curated pages, wouldn't they be more main ns pages rather than cats, which are dynamically populated. Thanks, their purpose is not evident to me.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

I really don’t remember. Maybe I created these cats to match a wider set by someone else, with these few as redlinks, and later that set was deleted? Maybe discuss at Talk:BSicon/Categorization. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 02:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
