Flickr bot Malfunction

Dear Admins,

The Flickr bot has stopped working for 2 full days now since the first 2 hours of November 27, 2024. The flickr backlog is now 1600+ images. I noticed the problem when I uploaded an image on November 29, 2024 but nothing happened. I don't know who can fix the bot and I am not sure Achim55 can do this either. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 03:19, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

3 days now. Can someone start the usurping process on wikitech, or is the owner still active on wikimedia? Pinging @Stemoc, as they have helped deal with this in the past. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 01:03, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging the maintainers: @Eatcha, Multichill, Stang, Steinsplitter, WhitePhosphorus, and Zhuyifei1999: AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 02:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Restarted, which seems to have helped. Maybe the maintainers could configure a health check – the one I added to QuickCategories (commit) has been relatively successful. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 21:44, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CfD premature closure

Please reopen the discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/11/Category:Abkuh Aliabad.

And what do you want to discuss about? I already explained everything. Stop wasting people's time. --Orijentolog (talk) 08:02, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this doesn't need a discussion. I have deleted it as an empty category as it seems to have been created in confusion. en:Abkuh Aliabad is a village in the Kashmar County, so images about Kashmar County cannot not be categorised there (unless those are from Abkuh Aliabad village itself, which isn't the case here. As such,  No action needed from here. Regards, Aafi (talk) 08:31, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. POS78 intended to give it for deletion, not discussion. This is not his first time because he don't understand process very well, so I did it for him, and he thanked me for action. Regarding the place, it's not that we have any material for it, categories can be opened even if we don't know coords. But in this particular case, we don't know do we actually have any material from it, because sources about its location are contradicting. Therefore only solution is deletion. --Orijentolog (talk) 08:38, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly is the urgency to close this? Especially as we do have such images.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 09:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We don't have. --Orijentolog (talk) 10:12, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's something you can say in the discussion if you believe so.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 10:34, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no value in keeping a category when we don't have anything to put in it. It can always be created again later if useful. If the creator sole user of the category basically says, "oops, I'm not even sure that's really the name for the place these things came from," which appears to be the case here, there is really nothing to discuss. This could have been a speedy deletion. @Enhancing999: if you know of files that you believe would belong in the category, then there is nothing to stop you from recreating it. This was effectively a {{SD|C2}}, which is a deletion without prejudice. - Jmabel ! talk 19:56, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question is if we just do as we like (or some admin feels like it today) or if we try to have some reasonable predetermined approach to it.
In the meantime, the name of the place has been edited out from a series of images that initially had it.

Datasets about potential logos - November 2024 uploads

Hi all, we have released a new dataset of potential logos uploaded in November 2024, together with another one of those which have already been deleted as of 2024-12-02. We are sharing them with you for your consideration.

This is part of our current work with the logo detection tool. We hope it will be useful for your moderation activities.

If you encounter issues with the datasets or have comments/requests, please reach out to me or to Sannita (WMF).

Thanks for your attention! –-MFossati (WMF) (talk) 12:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This file is a copyright violation. It is JD Vance's Senator portrait, and the user duplicated it in low quality and claimed to have made it under CC0. Can something be done about this? PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 16:38, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Tagged, as well as all other files uploaded by this user. Yann (talk) 16:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
