This file has the wrong file-name:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jardins_des_Tuileries.JPG

It is Champs de Mars, and even though the label is corrected in the document, Google lists it top or almost top for hi-res image searches under Jardins des Tuilieries.

How can this be corrected? I suggested the file name be amended.

Thanks.

John

✓ Done (soon, I'm sure): http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Jardins_des_Tuileries.JPG&diff=46179432&oldid=43499106 will get this handled by a filemover. Thanks.

Delete all my stuff immediately!!!

I want my gallery and all the items posted by me on wikimedia commons to be immediately deleted. I have posted many items of my art to share them with people, and some have been used since then by internet users. I strongly disagree however with the policy allowing anonymous people without any stated credentials to put in doubt other people's artistic credibility. I had impression that wikimedia commons serves all people who want to share their creative efforts with other citizens of this planet, but I had no idea that I could be tagged here by any faceless user claiming to be art connoisseur. I feel offended, disgusted and want no trace of my presence on wikimedia commons be left in the shortest possible time. All files can be found under my name Zygmunt Kubasiak. It's a pity that I can't remove them myself.

Thank you very much in advance for the kindness of fulfiling my request.

See Commons:Deletion requests/File:ANereid in the Foam.jpg, [1]. This user is upset that his images were nominated for deletion as out of scope and that he was called non-notable. Dcoetzee (talk) 18:54, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Because the deletion procedure is already in a state that the images can be deleted and should be deleted, I will process this request. Jcb (talk) 22:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Password

I _THOUGHT_ that Password problems would be plentiful enough that I could find an answer in a FAQ, but apparently not so.

Here's my problem:

I have a username on en.Wikipedia, "LP-mn", that I use a lot. I know that UN's PW. I apparently also have a UN on commons.wikimedia.org with the same UN: "LP-mn". PROBLEM: It seems that I do not have the same PW for both accounts, and I have no record (at my "secure storage" location) of what that PW could be. As a result, I've taken the stop-gap measure of creating yet a THIRD UN, this one on commons.wikimedia.org, but NOT (yet) on en.wikipedia, with the UN of "LP-mn2".

  • YES, I did ask the robot to send me a new PW.
  • NO, I did not get a response.
  • YES, I do have a spam filter.
  • NO, I do not notice anything in there as of yet.
  • YES, I have tried to do the linking-thingee-whose-name-I-can't-remember.
  • NO, I do not remember if I left an E-mail address with my registration for "LP-mn" on commons.wikimedia.org


Can you offer any suggestions?

LP-mn / LP-mn2

As far as I can see in CentralAuth the account «LP-mn@commonswiki» is not part of you global account. If were you who created the account here you should be able to recover your password by using the password reminder feature, but only if you specified an e-mail address when you created it; if not I'm afraid it would be impossible for you to recover User:LP-mn here.

Nuts. That's what I was afraid of.
Guess I'll throw a hundred monkeys at it.

At COM:CHU, you may request that your username be changed or you may usurp a disused username, LP-mn (talk · contribs). Walter Siegmund (talk) 23:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
To usurp certain qualifications must be met regarding how old the account is and whether or not it has substantive contributions or edits. User:LP-mn has such contributions and they must be attributed to that name and so is not subject to usurption by another account. fr33kman -s- 05:25, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think you may not be entirely correct. Please review Commons:Changing username/Usurp requests. Walter Siegmund (talk) 17:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, quiero saber porque borraron mis fotos artisticas? mi usuario es halasius y he creado una pagina con algunas fotos propias (fotos de mi persona sacadas por mí) y me las han borrado e incluso no me publican la pagina. Quiero saber porque.

As per google translate: "Hello, I want to know why they deleted my artistic photos? My username is Halasius and I created a page with some proper photos (photos of me taken by me) and they have been deleted and I did not even publish the page. I want to know why. Thank you."

✓ Done Yann (talk) 12:49, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Banning was mild. I think that wikipedia should report you to the FBI delivering full logs of all edits that you made. Let me say this. You are a typical concern troll. Your 'concern' is that people can mutilate innocent images of children to be or border to child porn and upload them here. You tried to prove the point, and I think that the community response has been very favorable to dispel your concern.KimvdLinde (talk) 14:35, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI: Just because the CC license does not put restrictions on derivatives of the image, doesn't mean you are allowed to do this. You may want to read up on en:Moral rights (copyright law). Regards, -- ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 15:43, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

^^Blocked. Multichill (talk) 16:20, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just as a note - Chris, the moral rights deals with attribution only, not derivatives that might be "immoral". The CC-BY-SA copyleft allows for free use of derivatives. Ottava Rima (talk) 16:41, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I guess Chris intended to refer to personality rights. A CC license is just concerned with the copyright of a work. Even if you are free to reuse a work, this does not mean that you are free to infringe personality rights. Unfortunately the right of publicity is still a state-based right in the United States. In other legislations (like in Germany, for example) you will possibly need a new permission for each new non-private use of such a photograph by the depicted model independent from the CC license. This is particularly true if you put photographs into a new context. --AFBorchert (talk) 09:44, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I was also referring to the moral rights forbidding distortion of the work. AFAIK this does not change when you put the image under a CC license. Regards, -- ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 18:57, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A possible other sock User:John lilburne, who restored the a removed edit of this user [3] and then continued the discussion. Maybe time for a checkuser on sleeper socks? This created his user page over a year ago to just jump in to the sexual content page alone. Never uploaded a single image. Smell fishy to me. KimvdLinde (talk) 20:09, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The user simultaneously removed a link to this thread, without any explanation. Dcoetzee (talk) 03:21, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Smells and sounds like a duck to me (going by the areas he has edited in and actions he has taken). I would indef them but I think a check-user would help before taking such action. Bidgee (talk) 03:38, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Checkuser has been listed. Bidgee (talk) 04:15, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
John lilburne is unrelated but 2 other sleepers were found (one of them even voted during the poll of the proposed Sexual content policy/guideline). Bidgee (talk) 07:00, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Lilburne's activities in wikipedia also looked suspicious, and he was equally cleared of socking. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 09:51, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for making the checkuser request. Good to smoke out the sleeper socks. KimvdLinde (talk) 16:58, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete oldest revision

Please delete oldest revision of each of the following files.

See Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 16#Question for the reason.

✓ Done. --Túrelio (talk) 13:45, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much! --HAH (talk) 13:54, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is there any possibility to check, if my real name is used in any other "File history" section of any other File which i uploaded? With google i find only files that are used in Wikipedia articles, but not all files are used in articles. --HAH (talk) 13:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Did you try Commons' own search function? (I know, it's quite bad). --Túrelio (talk) 14:05, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ahum, if you want to have your real name removed, someone should oversight the upload log entry. Multichill (talk) 16:12, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, forget about oversight. Admins can just hide the log entry. I did it for the example I just provided. Multichill (talk) 16:33, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done all upload log entries containing your real name are now hidden. Multichill (talk) 16:48, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. According to all upload log, the log entries should be removed, but the file File:KlosterBlaubeuren3.jpg still contains my real name in the 'File history' section. --HAH (talk) 20:44, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This way it would likely require oversight. Just do with this file the same as with the others in the above list, re-upload as new version but with full log data (image description). I will then delete the "old" version. --Túrelio (talk) 21:19, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
When you upload a new file, the text you enter ends up in three locations:
  1. The revision table (the actual page text)
  2. The image table
  3. The log table
Now to get rid of them:
  1. Change the page text and delete the revision
  2. Upload a new version and delte the old image
  3. Hide the entry in the upload log.
I did point three for all files, but I didn't check if point 1 and 2 were done for all files. Multichill (talk) 01:25, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aleksandr-93

Could someone please have a look at user:Aleksandr-93s contributions? seems to be alot of pictures just copied from diffrent websites that has not released the pictures in any accepted licence.. Evalowyn (talk) 00:04, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Need a quick ruling

Could someone take a look at File:Map of the united states with crosshairs.jpg. It's cropped from a political advertisement here, but the uploader has removed the deletion tag and is claiming variously that it's either self-made or PD-ineligible. Kelly (talk) 07:35, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it would be even covered under a {{PD-USGOV}} license. I've deleted the file since it isn't the uploader's own work and clearly a copyvio. Bidgee (talk) 07:49, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping Commons clean - policy v practice

Acvtive admins should probably have been made aware of the thread running here. One of the great things to me about Commons has been the fact that it is not so hidebound by policy as some wikis and, it seemed to me, we were tasked with keeping Commons clean of the junk that turns up daily - it seems that might be changing. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 14:36, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Likely copyvio photo of high-profile event

File:Tucson shoot.png is a likely copyvio photo of a current high-profile event in the news - 2011 Tucson shooting. It's been flagged for deletion but I see it keeps getting added to articles on the event in various projects. Kelly (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Need Italian WP admin

Are there any around? I have to post this here because I don't see an Italian AN. File:Arsenale.jpg is improperly attributed to an uploader at French Wikipedia but it was first uploaded to Italian Wikipedia.
