DR close request
Could an admin take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fuengirola - Monumento Juan Gómez González, 'Juanito' 2.jpg and determine whether it can be closed? No additional comments have been made more than a month, and I don't think that there's going to be a sudden increase in comments if the DR continues to remain open. I'm not advocating in favor of a particular close; just asking that it be assessed and then closed as the administrator sees fit. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- DR has been closed. Abzeronow (talk) 05:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Abzeronow. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Edit war
Some anonymous contributor thinks that "Militsiya" (Russian police before the 2011 reforms) cars are not police cars despite 2 other saying him they are.
- File:Russia police car 11.JPG
- File:Russia police car 04.JPG — this one was still in service in 2019 as a police car
- File:St. Petersburg - Police Car.jpg
I'm not sure what to do here while it's not a vandalism, but these contributions are unconsensual and kinda, silly. idk. Красный wanna talk? 06:50, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done. I reverted that and semi-protected them for a year. Taivo (talk) 11:14, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
Protected page edit request
File:Samantha Harvey.jpg is protected as it's currently appearing on Enwiki's Main Page (and possibly elsewhere; its subject just won the Booker Prize). Its source is File:R7A9667-2.jpg which has a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license but File:Samantha Harvey.jpg is offered under CC-0 which cannot be the case since the uploader there is not the copyright holder on the source image. Request to update the license of the protected File:Samantha Harvey.jpg to {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} to correctly reflect the source license. Thanks! Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 23:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done License fixed. Abzeronow (talk) 23:45, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
crosswiki problem

promo only edits for not relevant sicilian male man
ty GioviPen GP msg 04:04, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- @GiovanniPen: I would suggest making your case about these being out of scope through the normal deletion process. Similarly for copyvios.
- This is a new user, and administrative action is not normally how we deal with a few reasonable, if possibly bad, uploads from a new user.
- Also: normally if you have a complaint about a user for anything other than vandalism, you should bring it to COM:AN/U, not COM:AN, and you should certainly inform them on their talk page that you have started such a discussion. - Jmabel ! talk 21:12, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the information, sorry: I wasnt sure that this was the right place GioviPen GP msg 11:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Shall I reopen the topic in COM:AN/U or since I already made it here it’s ok for this time? GioviPen GP msg 11:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- As I said, you should go through the normal deletion process and possibly put a note on the user's talk page explaining what is going on. We don't normally use administrative tools to deal with new users who do not seem to be deliberately malicious. - Jmabel ! talk 17:28, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

User appears to be running a bot, not responding to talk page
Est. 2021 (talk · contribs), see User_talk:Est._2021#Meat-bot_null_edits and edits like this, which will cause no change at all to how pages function or render 99%+ of the time, but will occasionally break pages (e.g. if a description has an equal sign in it). —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:38, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done Blocked for 3 days. A longer block should be applied if the user doesn't respond. Yann (talk) 19:23, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- Should consider removing from Commons:AutoWikiBrowser/CheckPageJSON. RoyZuo (talk) 21:30, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
Please take care of this DR
Can some admin please take care of this DR. I am exhausted by explaining my POV. If the user would care to understand then I would have wanted to resume. But that's not the case here. There might be some shortcoming on my oart regarding the licence but I can't any better explain them the difference between a personal and a govt account on X (Twitter). Some leftover can also be found on my TP. Plz check the archive if the bot does so in the mean time. Thank you. ShaanSenguptaTalk 12:21, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Shaan Sengupta: You do not have to convince the person whose uploads you want deleted that you are correct. You can just state your case and wait for an admin to evaluate the arguments and close the DR. This DR has not been open even a week, so it would certainly be premature to close it. Unless there is clear consensus, 7 days is a minimum. 3-6 weeks is more common. - Jmabel ! talk 17:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmabel I think I couldn't explain myself. I didn't ask for a close. I just was fed up of that discussion. I got too much into it that I forgot that I don't need to convince them. Thank you. Also, another DR started in August is now inactive. If you could see that maybe. Thank you. ShaanSenguptaTalk 00:25, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
Probably not allowed photo
See: File:Markham, Virginia - panoramio.jpg Then click on the source link, which lists an NC license; which I think is not wiki compatible. I'm not sure what to do with this nor where to report it, so I'm reporting here. MisawaSakura (talk) 15:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- No, this is fine. The license was reviewed in 2016, and it is irrevocable. Yann (talk) 16:29, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- @MisawaSakura: Panoramio changed their licensing policy, but that does not invalidate licenses offered under the old regime. - Jmabel ! talk 17:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
transfer of verification
Dear team, as pointed out by Achim55, please transfer the verification of de:User:CCC-LMU to the Commons project here as well. Many thanks and have a good start to the week! Alex CCC-LMU (talk) 16:09, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests File:Gil Hillin Beverly Hills Cop (1984).webp
Commons:Deletion requests File:Gil Hillin Beverly Hills Cop (1984).webp seems related to COM:HD#How to change the name of a portrait which most likely is about en:File:Gil Hillin Beverly Hills Cop (1984).webp. @Jmabel: Since you're an admin on Commons and Wikipedia, perhaps you can help this person out? The file probably is OK as non-free content, unless en:WP:FREER is an issue or it's a Getty image, but it needs a non-free use rationale and needs to be added to an article to avoid speedy deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'll rename it as asked. - Jmabel ! talk 22:21, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
