@~riley:What is the evidence of this?! --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 09:32, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

@ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2: - Your approach to this is quite inappropriate, and wasting the time of myself and my fellow colleagues. The reasoning behind this has already been explained by two experienced editors at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fat girl and thin girl.PNG, you were clearly unsatisifed with their answers so you came here, to the Administrator's noticeboard. As a license reviewer, I have failed the license review and deleted the file as a copyright violation after inquiring into the copyright status of the video per your above request. Three editors are now in agreement that the file is likely a copyright violation. ~riley (talk) 09:41, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

WMF threats to block accounts working with banned users

Flagging a relevant discussion with the WMF for anyone interested. The past threat to block administrators undeleting files, has now morphed into banning any user who a WMF employee judges has not been "innocently" working with a banned user. As these sorts of vague threats lack policy or process, the opportunity of appeal or the any right to examine evidence, they make it significantly risky for any long term committed Commons volunteer to work collegiately with anonymous IP users, or new accounts that might later turn out to be sock accounts.

See m:User_talk:WMFOffice#Working_with_banned_users. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 09:06, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Category:Undelete at an unknown date

Hello.Is it possible to act in these pages or this category useless?Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 09:55, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

@ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2: It's useful, and you can help! For example, Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Bellegarde_sur_Valserine_Monument1_Maquis_Ain_Haut_Jura.JPG is a photo of a sculpture by Gironos Mileck. I was unable to find out any details about the sculptor, but if you can find out when they died, the deletion request can be tagged accordingly to be undeleted after the statue becomes PD.

suspect picture

File:Hallett Power Station.jpg purports to have been uploaded by user:Ypham94 as his/her own work. The extended metadata contains "JPEG file comment File source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tallawarra_Power_Station.JPG" - which leads to File:Tallawarra Power Station.JPG that appears to be higher resolution of the same image, purporting to be a different power station by a different photographer. I am not experienced enough at Commons to know how to deal with this properly. --Scott (talk) 04:19, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

• I have deleted the file. Generally with duplicates we redirect to the original image after deletion, however, it seems inappropriate with the misidentified title. For normal duplicates, you can tag with {{duplicate}}. I have warned the uploader for uploading scaled down images. ~riley (talk) 04:26, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you @~riley:. I removed the suspect image from the Wikipedia article I first found it on at the same time I posted this request. --Scott (talk) 13:33, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:EU Passport Cyprus 2016.JPG

Was this DR was properly closed? It was closed by Special:Contributions/120.152.28.166 an editor who has only had an account for less then a week and who was participating directly in the discussion. It does not seem as if the nomination to delete was withdrawn by the nominator Stefan2 and that the discussion had been resolved either way. In addition, LL212W who is in favor of keeping the image seems to not only have !voted twice, but also has added their name as the "closer" of the discussion. All things considered, none of this seems appropriate at all per COM:D#Closure. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:54, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

120.152.28.166 is my IP address. A browser issue is causing my account to continously log out. Hopefully this will be of clarification :) --LL212W (talk) 06:13, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

If you're having such problems more often than not, then it might be a good idea to post a note or something on User:120.152.28.166 or your user page so that other editors do not mistakenly assume the accounts are unrelated or that you are improperly using multiple accounts. Doing so, especially if you're going to participate in deletion related discussions, will help avoid any misunderstandings. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:07, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Well, IMO, LL212W should have stated it instead in their user page, not on the IP's user page, because the IP can be used by anyone. ★ Poké⁹⁵ 09:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

That is a good point Pokéfan95. @LL212W: As Pokéfan95 points out, I gave you some slightly bad advice. You should include the information on your user page, not the IP's. Anyone else editing from that same IP address will be indistiguishable from you unless they clearly say otherwise; Only you, however, will be editing under your username. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:51, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

• Closure reverted, @LL212W: do not close a discussion you have voted in, especially when there are valid concerns that are unresolved. ~riley (talk) 06:18, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I will know next time. --LL212W (talk) 09:19, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Image

Hi, Could an admin delete this image as it was being used on the Bakary Sako article (on EN) and although I've reverted the edits there I have a feeling he'll come back at somepoint, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 13:13, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

City of Youngstown Ohio seal graphic inaccurate - please delete

Please note that the below link on Wikimedia has a seal of the City of Youngstown, Ohio, USA which is inaccurate and has Youngstown misspelled (missing the "w"):

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seal_of_the_City_of_Youngstown_(Ohio).svg

Could you please delete that graphic?

I can email you the correct version or have our I.T. do so, or please visit the City's website at www.youngstownohio.gov. —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.62.197.132 (talk) 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, Jennifer Ozenghar 1st Assistant Clerk of Council Jozenghar@youngstownohio.gov

Greetings Jennifer! You or the staff I.T. person can upload a new version with the correct spelling right on top of the old one. Get an account, but please don't use an official name (ex: don't say "CityOfYoungstown"). Go to the Seal page, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Seal_of_the_City_of_Youngstown_(Ohio).svg and below "File History" it says "upload a new version of the file". Just follow those instructions and upload a new SVG format image. Then all the links used all over the various projects will autoupdate. If we deleted the old one, all those links would break. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need assistance. I have left this same message for you both where you wrote https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard and via email. Please feel free to correspond in whatever manner suits you best. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:51, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Revert crops by User:EurovisionNim

Could someone please revert the too tight crops done by User:EurovisionNim, per this discussion (German). The user was already notified. Thanks! --Sebari (talk) 14:57, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

•  Done unfortanutely there was no automated tool for this. At some point through, I realized some of these were his own uploads and decided not to revert the cropping of his own images. ~riley (talk) 19:34, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Eliad bensoussan

Could an administrator please help clean up the mess after Eliad bensoussan before he/she makes an even bigger mess? So far they've

• uploaded File:Eliad Drahi Bensoussan.jpg, a copyvio from http://jeepmanagement.com/profile/dancers/chris-haines/ and blanked out the information template
• created a talk page for the file, consisting of a request to "reset this file" and then moved this talk page to User:PILOTE F1 RED BULL JUNIOR, a user page for a non-existent user
• blanked out the welcome message on their user talk page (which included information on how to request deletion of one's recent uploads)
• repeatedly requested rotation of the copyvio, added pointless image notes to it, asked for it to be renamed to File:ARY.jpg, uploaded an out-of-scope photo of some feet under the same filename, and pasted the existing file description into itself for good measure
• tried to place their user talk page in a category named {{delete}}, which isn't a valid category name
• created a discussion to delete their user talk page containing a template nominating the deletion discussion itself for deletion and creating a discussion to delete the deletion discussion for their user talk page
• finally figured out the correct way to start a deletion discussion for a file, doing it three times in sheer excitement
