Files uploaded by Npangarkar (WMF) (talk · contribs)

These files are screenshots of MediaWiki in various contexts. The licenses of MediaWiki are not given, nor are attribution to its authors. Moreover many of the images include content from Wikipedia. The authors of the texts are not attributed. Where there are images, these are also not attributed, nor are their licenses indicated. Instead Npangarkar has just claimed it all as own work and slapped an incorrect CC BY-SA 4.0 tag on them. Compare with Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Jkatz (WMF); it seems we have a problem with WMF staff who do not understand free content licensing.

  • Hi BethNaught, we are trying to figure this out. You are correct that Nirzar and I were not aware that attribution requirements applied to screenshots of Wikipedia for use in discussing Wikipedia, but we will figure it out. If you don't mind holding off on deleting these for until May 27th, 2016, while Nirzar and I learn how to correctly attribute, I would really appreciate it.

That's not up to me as I'm not a Commons admin and even if I were I could not close my own nomination. Don't worry, the DR backlog is so large that, given your comment, I expect the admins will give you the time you asked for. BethNaught (talk) 21:47, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
