NileTravel continues adding nonsense templates

Hello, NileTravel continues adding templates about communism in simple photos of people. He also deletes your warnings from his talk page (without archiving the page). And I really think that this user with a such nickname may be a puppet of NileTravel. — Soul Train (talk) 11:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS et le Musée de la Parole en Ardenne

Bonjour Yann,

L'utilisateur Lucyin (également auteur), avec qui je contribue sur Wikisource en wallon, a récemment contacté le Musée de la Parole en Ardenne pour leur demander de libérer quelques œuvres pour lesquelles il détient le droit d'auteur. Le président actuel, Joël Thiry (également auteur) a accepté d'en libérer quelques-unes et il est prêt a envoyer une autorisation en suivant la procédure appropriée. On m'a chargé de mettre en place le nécessaire pour que tout se déroule sans encombre. J'aurais cependant besoin d'un peu d'aide pour faire les choses correctement côté Commons. Pourrais-tu m'éclairer sur le point suivant : étant donné que l'autorisation contiendra les liens des fac-similés stockés sur Commons, y a-t-il un modèle particulier à apposer sur les pages des fac-similés en attendant que le tiket OTRS (ou plutôt VRT maintenant) soit validé ? Merci d'avance pour tes lumières. Reptilien.19831209BE1 (talk) 16:08, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Reptilien.19831209BE1: Tu peux ajouter dans le champ "Permission" de chaque fichier {{subst:OP}}. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 22:42, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merci, c'est précisément ce dont j'avais besoin. Reptilien.19831209BE1 (talk) 11:52, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Telugu-language films to Commons

Hope you are doing fine. I have learned during your Bangalore meet-up few years ago, subsequently done a few uploads of Telugu films using Video2commons. I have subsequently tried to upload a few old (1960 or before) Telugu movies, but met with some error messages. Can you help me, how to come out of the problems. I am seriously planning to upload these Telugu-language films to Commons. Thanking you.--Rajasekhar1961 (talk) 19:15, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Rajasekhar1961: There are some bugs when uploading large files. For some obscure reasons, very large files usually failed. How big is your file? Did you try to create a WEBM format file on your PC, and to upload the result? Regards, Yann (talk) 22:17, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

License question

Hi Yann, I uploaded this derivative file today, a restoration. The original file here has a green flickr review template. Can I just copy the same template to the derivative file? Or do we have to wait for the derivative's license to be reviewed independently? Thanks. Bammesk (talk) 20:56, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bammesk: I reviewed the license. Yann (talk) 22:15, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question for you

You blocked me for three days for one (1) revert. Yet other editors actually edit war and you do nothing. [1] [2]

I do not understand. Why are you against me? Krok6kola (talk) 00:43, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

These 2 will certainly be blocked for a long time soon. Yann (talk) 13:46, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One (GPinkerton) was blocked for one (1) day by A.Savin [3] for more than 20 reverts, the block was appealed and the appeal declined by Elcobbola.[4] When the block expired, the editor deleted the evidence of the block[5]. (I notice that two days later you blocked that editor for one month). The other editor, Orijentolog, an editor with whom I have had a good relationship, went to A.Savin's talk page to discuss categories and A.Savin (who cannot block me himself as an involved editor who has a history with me) said he had been monitoring me [6]. He is looked for an excuse to get another admin to block me, as he had done previously. [7] That block, based on two edits provided by A.Savin, I appealed and was unblocked per a discussion on the Admin/User problems talk page. I want you to be aware of this history. I am not a perfect editor but I take the Commons seriously and do my best. It seems Admins on the Commons tend to stand behind each other without questioning. So I cannot exist here without constant worry even though I am doing nothing wrong (except the recent minor edit war with A.Savin) over a silly category (people bathing in regular clothes) placed on a Featured Picture that the photographer had asked A.Savin to remove from his photo of a religious man. Do you have any advice for me? Best wishes, Krok6kola (talk) 23:57, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Permission for media granted (I hope).

Yann, hello! You nominated my media (painting) for deletion: File:Woman in Red Hat and Purple Dress I.png

  I am the owner/art creator. I emailed my permission to VRT (I hope. VRT requires an email address associated with the site/blog/social media account where the work was first published, but I created the painting in 2008 and I have no idea of where I first published it.) Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SouthernMuse (talk • contribs) 17:34, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SouthernMuse: Hi,

Yes, we need the formal written permission from the artist for all recent works of art. You should send one for each of your paintings. Please also note that works of art by non notable artists may not be accepted, unless they show a special technic or they are used in an article (see COM:SCOPE#Examples for the details). Regards, Yann (talk) 17:42, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

File:Bookshelf in a house from Bucharest (Romania).jpg

Hi there! Please delete this file. It had been nominated for delection since 10 November 2021 by me, and you said that it can be after a week since its nomination, but it hasn't been removed since.--Neoclassicism Enthusiast (talk) 17:56, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suppression de nombreuses images

Bonjour,

Je suis très étonnés que vous ayez supprimé un nombre important de photographies illustrant des articles sur des films. Par exemple "Visages suisses" + Simon Edelstein + CD-Rom Genesys.

Je suis l'auteur de ces photos et j'en ^ossède les droits. --2A01:CB14:1E9:2700:6C04:C9FD:53B0:AACF 11:56, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ripolin01: Bonjour,

Merci de vous loguer et de signer vos messages.

Pour tout contenu publié ailleurs auparavant, une autorisation écrite formelle pour une licence libre est nécessaire. Veuillez voir COM:VRT pour les instructions. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 11:59, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Screenshot of permission given by Vanillasky.png

Why did you delete this file? Do you reject my argument that it is in scope? Does this screenshot itself have copyright issues? Brianjd (talk) 13:04, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Permission should be sent via COM:VRT. Screenshots are not acceptable for permission. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:06, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The screenshot was intended as permission for File:Anupam Tripathi.png. But it is not acceptable for this purpose, because it is a screenshot. I understand that.

But the same message in the form of a COM:VRT e-mail would still be unacceptable, because it only gives permission for Wikimedia projects and not for all uses. This led me to suggest that the screenshot is useful for a different purpose, demonstrating misunderstandings of copyright and Commons licensing. So we could delete File:Anupam Tripathi.png but keep File:Screenshot of permission given by Vanillasky.png. And no one has responded to this suggestion.

Comment envoyer une permission quand on a pas internet ?

C'est la question que Lucyin me pose.

Bonjour Yann,

Lucyin me fait savoir que la nièce de Gaston Lucy, seule héritière, est disposée à libérer les œuvres de son oncle. Le petit problème, c' est qu'il s'agit d'une femme de 90 ans qui n'y comprend rien à l'informatique et qui n'a pas Internet. C'est compréhensible ! Lucyin aimerait savoir s'il peut envoyer lui-même l’email à la fondation, avec en pièce jointe une lettre scannée contenant l'autorisation, datée, signée et contenant les coordonnées de cette dame, en expliquant pourquoi c'est lui qui envoie l'email et non elle. Y a-t-il des chances que ça aboutissent, d'après toi ? Y a-t-il une méthode alternative ? Reptilien.19831209BE1 (talk) 22:18, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Reptilien.19831209BE1: Oui, elle peut rédiger une lettre manuscrite, que Lucyin peut scanner, et envoyer en pièce jointe. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 22:21, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Impeccable, je fais passer le message. Un grand merci pour ton aide. Amicalement, Reptilien.19831209BE1 (talk) 06:34, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia in Esperanto

Dear colleague! I am an administrator of Wikipedia in Esperanto. I reviewed few your edits in it (they are file renames, I know) and I want to give to you an autoreview status. Do you agree? Gamliel Fishkin 07:13, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gamliel Fishkin: Yes, fine. Thank you. In fact, these edits were made by a bot on my behalf because I renamed some files here on Commons. Regards, Yann (talk)

Done (log entry). Gamliel Fishkin 14:41, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And? Any other suggest? Ezarateesteban 17:37, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, much better. Make it perfectly square. However, I don't know if that is sufficient to make it FP. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:16, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Claire Monis

Bonjour Yann, j'ai remis la photo de Claire Monis à la demande de la famille sur la page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claire_Monis Pouvez vous svp me dire quel est le soucis ? Il s'agit d'une photo d'identité prise dans l'album familial Cordialement David David Choukroun (talk) 23:30, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@David Choukroun: You didn't provide a license, and there is no evidence of a free license, or that it is in the public domain. We need the date of the first publication, possibly the author, and a proper source. Maybe it could be kept on the English Wikipedia under a fair use rationale, but you need to write it down on the file page. Thanks, Yann (talk) 08:57, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Crop from a deleted file

Hi Yann. Since you've deleted File:Actor Anita Stewart on a 10-inch Ceramic Souvenir Plate. Vitagraph Studios publicity item.jpg, I'm wondering what you think about File:Actor Anita Stewart on a 10-inch Ceramic Souvenir Plate. Vitagraph Studios publicity item (cropped).png. It's a crop taken from the deleted file and there appears to be some disagreement as to whether it can be kept. (see User talk:Explicit#Question about original and cropped versions of same image and User talk:Clindberg#File:Actor Anita Stewart on a 10-inch Ceramic Souvenir Plate. Vitagraph Studios publicity item.jpg for reference. Please note the two editors I asked about this are quite experienced when it comes to image licensing matters, but they just happen to disagree about this particular file. If the file can be kept, then great; if not, then it's not something I'm going to lose any sleep over. It was just one of many files uploaded by the same person with sketchy licensing and that I thought that perhaps this one might possibly be able to be kept if cropped. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:49, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Hi, yes, I saw these discussion. I think that the cropped version is fine with a PD-Art template. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:54, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking a look at this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:31, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
