Faced with the easy choice of deleting an image or working to correct an error, this user decided that the project could be improved. This generous and honorable action represents the essence of the project. If the project had more souls like Abzeronow's, the quality of the project would increase exponentially.

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!
[edit]
Abzeronow, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and its subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).
Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons webchat on irc.libera.chat. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin webchat.
You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.
Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Regarding Commons:Deletion requests/File:BALANÇA DOS PRIMOS A RESOLUÇÃO E DEMONSTRAÇÃO DA CONJECTURA DE GOLDBACH (1).pdf
[edit]In your closing comments, you noted that this file "would be better off as an upload to Wikisource". However, Wikisource does not generally accept unpublished manuscripts by contributors, such as this one. Would you mind updating that bit? Omphalographer (talk) 19:00, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

You deleted and keep images at random. I feel discriminated. --Bahnmoeller (talk) 13:01, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- It may feel random to you but I was making judgement calls as far as de minimis in some of the photographs rather than just deleting everything because of the lack of FOP in the Vatican. I can assure you that I was not taking who took the photographs into consideration when I was deleting. Abzeronow (talk) 19:24, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- I dont believe you - you kept the panoramico images. There is no reason to keep these and to delete others. Bahnmoeller (talk) 17:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- They were de minimis. The cityscape was the subject, not the individual building. And if you believe I deleted an image in error, you can make an undeletion request. Abzeronow (talk) 17:22, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

[edit]I've recently made a file of the Cuban Coat of Arms with the flag stripes in their original blue scale, to make the former coat. When uploading it to Commons, it loaded wrong, and accidentally I finished to upload it. Well, I investigated how to delete it, but only an administrator can do that. So I'm asking you to do that. You will find easy to find it by typing in the search bar "Former Coat of Arms of Cuba". It's the black-coloured option. Thank you so much. Have a nice day. SunMoonAndLight (talk) 21:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Pan American Airways
[edit]Hello again, following our exchange about Fokker F.VII/3m, I now discover that there's a problem with the Pan American Airways category here. The category contains the Wikidata item Q7129586 in an infobox that instead belongs to Pan American Airways (1996–1998) as per Wikipedia article, but no such category at Commons. I'm tempted to just amend the Wikidata item and remove the Commons infobox, but unsure how it might co-exist with the current infobox on the Wikipedia 1996–1998 page. Perhaps as a Commons admin, you might action or advise accordingly. MTIA, PeterWD (talk) 14:56, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- More thoughts - perhaps we should rename our categories here as Pan American Airways (1927–1950) and Pan American Airways (1950–1991), to reflect aircraft types and liveries, although not necessarily reflecting legal company names ? PeterWD (talk) 15:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Amending the Wikdata item and removing the infobox seems to be the simplest solution. As far as the other thing, I could start a CfD to ask about the best way of reorganizing the aircraft subcategories since as the U.S. public domain expands, we probably will be getting more photographs about Pan Am's early years. I could also ask about the main categories and what others think might be the best way to organize it so things can be easily found. I could definitely create Fokker and Fairchild categories for Pan Am if they are not already existent. Abzeronow (talk) 15:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, could I please have your opinion? I've uploaded this image today, and now it's protected. I'd replace current version (3648 × 2232px but with cropped bottom) by this one: [1] (2560 × 1707). Which one would be better? Thanks, Quick1984 (talk) 18:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Why not just upload the uncropped photograph as a different file? (assuming that is also from the same Russian website as the currently auto-protected file.) I could see potential use for either. Abzeronow (talk) 18:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Author's request to delete
[edit]Good afternoon. I am the original uploader of File:Raisa Vasilyeva postage stamp.jpg. It is now nominated for deletion, and I, the original uploader (from my previous account), was blocked for evading the earlier block. I am not going to make any further contributions, but I only ask you to remove this file because it doesn't look like the original postage stamp, I found it in an unreliable 4chan-type website and I don't want to insult dignity of the woman depicted or anyone else by having mock stamp published in Wikimedia. I wanted to be productive in Wikimedia, but unfortunately someone recalled my badwill contributions five years ago and blocked me. I apologize for evading block and I will not make any further contributions. Thanks. Пётр Серков-Новый (talk) 15:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Images of Stadio Franchi
[edit]Hi Abzeronow, thank you very much for having undeleted the images deleted in this DR. Checking the images I'm not completely sure if File:ArtemioFranchiwiki2.jpg and File:ArtemioFranchiwiki3.jpg are ok though... If the building itself is in PD, can the same be said for the graphic version that can be downloaded by the 3D gallery of Sketchup program 7? Friniate (talk) 23:07, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- If the uploader drew the image themselves in the program, I think it would be fine. Abzeronow (talk) 16:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm not completely sure about that, since in the description he wrote that he used the 3D Gallery Warehouse. Searching in the website of 3D Warehouse I found this model of the Stadium. It's different from the photos, true, but maybe it was changed since 2010...--Friniate (talk) 12:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

MP3 uploads
[edit]Hello. As you can know from Commons:Requests_for_rights/Denied/Autopatrolled/2024#RuzDD, I really want to upload MP3's and I really have good reasons for that but I can't do that as I'm not autopatrolled. As you know, non-autopatrolled users can request overwriting at Commons:Overwriting_existing_files/Requests, is the equivalent of this for MP3 uploading exists? If not, can this be created? I promise I will not upload any copyvio, thank you! RuzDD (talk) 14:33, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Your edit count is a little better now than it was three months ago so I can see progress as far as that right goes. As mentioned to you previously at the help desk, you can upload in other audio formats without needing the right for it. I can consider temporarily granting you the right so you could upload whichever MP3 files you feel the project needs (provided they are freely licensed or public domain as being pre-1924). Abzeronow (talk) 16:06, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's not urgent but I think (also for other newcomers) it'll be very good if a specific MP3 uploading allowing system can be implemented. I really love MP3: It can store mono and stereo sounds in one stream, disrupting it does not prevent it from playing (you can open a MP3 file with notepad and edit it and it should still play), and you can combine two MP3's with just notepad, and MP3 is very compatible, and it supports 8kbps (Vorbis does not). Also, I really like MP3's sound color if it's encoded with a good encoder. Thank you. RuzDD (talk) 16:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2024-05
[edit]In re Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2024-05#File:Cyber_tux.jpg -- this is not "personal art", it's an illustration that was being used in an article on the English Wikipedia. Does Commons now have a policy that Wikimedia projects aren't allowed to host their images here anymore? JPxG (talk) 10:57, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- @JPxG: https://commons-delinquent.toolforge.org/?image=Cyber+tux.jpg&action=any&result=any shows no results for usage. It was not in use when deleted. Apologies for a late response. Abzeronow (talk) 19:29, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
There was no way the Soviet Union could boycott the 1936 Olympic Games, because the Soviet Union was accepted into the Olympic movement only in 1951: The Olympic Committee of the USSR was formed on April 21, 1951, and the IOC recognised the new body in its 45th session (May 7, 1951). --Surely-NFI (talk) 18:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not arguing what the facts are, just trying to head off any contention by pointing out that the text on the English Wikipedia article en:List of Olympic Games boycotts states that the Soviet Union did boycott. Abzeronow (talk) 18:09, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
I'll admit that I'm far more familiar with English Wikipedia procedures than Wikimedia Commons ones, but was a "withdrawn" closure appropriate on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Dead Man Walking Jarrell 1997.jpg if the nominator was not the only one to support deletion? In that case, despite the update by 2601:5C5:4201:68B0:219E:E7AC:5087:1A8 who found the image in an ArcGIS StoryMap, my delete vote still would've stood because {{PD-NWS}} specifically only applies to files stored on the web servers of the U.S. National Weather Service, whereas the StoryMap is on a domain and servers run by the private company Esri. Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 15:00, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- Your deletion vote was before it was found on the ArcGIS StoryMap. The byline indicates this was written by NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX and NWS Fort Worth/Dallas, TX and the end credits names those who prepared the StoryMap. Your delete vote said "Delete unless an actual source other than "here's a PDF that doesn't have the image" can be found". I had assumed consensus was to close as keep. If you want to renominate, I won't object, but for all intents and purposes, the StoryMap is a NWS publication. Abzeronow (talk) 21:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I am reaching out to ask that you reconsider your decision to keep File:202010 Plateosaurus engelhardti.svg. Creating a vector graphic equivalent to the existing PNG file is an extremely complex and time-consuming task. The level of detail required for the SVG to match or surpass the quality of the PNG is significant, and it is unlikely that anyone will invest the necessary effort to achieve this in the future. Moreoever, this file is closer to "photograph quality" than, say, a diagram, making PNG the preferred format anyways (see Commons:File types). While COM:DUPE does not technically apply, the SVG file simply is a duplicate of the PNG, and keeping both files is simply redundant. Thank you for your consideration. – Pbrks (t • c) 14:12, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- The file is in use by Basque Wikipedia (specifically their children's encyclopedia section). I cannot redirect a svg file to a png so I cannot treat it like a duplicate, so my only option was to keep, as I cannot tell Basque Wikipedia what the best file is. Thanks for letting me know that fixing the problem via overwrite is not feasible. Abzeronow (talk) 17:07, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
Permission to overwrite file
[edit]Hello Abzeronow,
would it be possible to give me permission to overwrite the file Datei:Logo 1fc passau.svg (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:1._FC_Passau_logo.svg)? The logo of the club is an old one and has already been relaunched a few years ago. You can also compare it to the logo on their website https://fcpassau.de
Thanks in advance! Alexmo00 (talk) 12:59, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Alexmo00: Done You can now overwrite this file. Abzeronow (talk) 16:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! I noticed that there is also a second file of the logo (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:1._FC_Passau_logo.svg). It would be great if you gave me permission for that too so that the old version will not be used by people in the future anymore.
- By the way, there were made some mistakes while removing the other file. If you want, you can erase the other versions between the new and the old file. Thanks :) Alexmo00 (talk) 11:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see a reason to delete any revisions on the file. Abzeronow (talk) 16:49, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Max Fishman.jpg
[edit]Please restore the photograph of Max Fishman. File:Max Fishman.jpg It was made by amateurs around 1953-54 for the stand of our conservatory teachers. Since then it has not been published anywhere. All rights to the photograph were given for free use. Comments that I am 90 years old are too exaggerated - I am 86 years old. When the photo was taken I was learning to take photographs. There were many assistants. Max Fishman died in 1985. Why remove a photograph of a person that no one has claimed for about 80 years. Sincerely Levikoan Levikoan (talk) 17:06, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- I said approximately, and I was rounding up from 88. I did not delete it, and yes, 86 would be a plausible age. There are a few options here: 1.) You can contact COM:VRT and provide them the evidence needed to confirm that what you've been saying. 2.) You can make an undeletion request at COM:UDR but they might tell you to contact VRT. I also cannot confirm on-wiki whether the statements you've been making are true (which right now, they definitely could be). To answer the question of "why remove an unclaimed 1950s photo", we care about copyright even if no one else does. COM:CARES. Abzeronow (talk) 17:43, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your advice. Help me please. I clicked on COM:UDR and wrote and received no response. What is VRT I have no idea and what evidence can I give? I am a person of a different generation and I don’t understand much. Proof: A photograph where he, Max Fishman, is approximately 38 years old. Born in 1915. He went through the war, the Gulag, persecution. Sincerely. Levikoan (talk) 18:15, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

There is a template on the page that says that you personally verified that the file was posted to https://www.nemo-ocean.eu/gallery/ very recently. To put this simply, you now have me wondering if I'm going nuts. When I visit that page, I see no posted images of any kind. The only things that page seems to display are four embedded YouTube videos, and nothing more. I see no images on that page that match the appearance and dimensions of File:Velocity and sea surface temperature in the oceans.png. Could you help me understand what's up? Is that image actually on that page at all? Or am I missing a button or link that I have to click to bring it into view? Obscure2020 (talk) 20:13, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- The colors roughly match those found in the first video around 1:38, and copyright notice says "Copyright: work by Oriol Tintó, Barcelona Supercomputing Center is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. 2020". Abzeronow (talk) 20:22, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for informing me of that. I now have even more grounds to object to your verification template.
- If an image was originally a frame in a YouTube video, then the source of the image should be stated to be the YouTube video, not some random webpage that happened to embed that YouTube video.
- File:Velocity and sea surface temperature in the oceans.png was clearly NOT a frame in that YouTube video, for the following three reasons:
- The video is clearly of horizontal widescreen dimensions, while the photo is vertical.
- The video clearly displays two vertical red lines that overlay the globe at the 1:38 mark, and those red lines are not present in File:Velocity and sea surface temperature in the oceans.png.
- The video clearly displays text and logos in the corners of the frame at the 1:38 mark, which do not appear in File:Velocity and sea surface temperature in the oceans.png.
- From these findings, we can positively state that the following two things are true:
- https://www.nemo-ocean.eu/gallery/ is clearly not the original source of File:Velocity and sea surface temperature in the oceans.png.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmE9t0WYhsA is also clearly not the original source of File:Velocity and sea surface temperature in the oceans.png.
- I think you should remove your LicenseReview template until such time that we find a webpage or video online that contains a copy of this image that appears exactly the same as the version that was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Obscure2020 (talk) 20:37, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- I've removed it, although it's consistent with being authored by Oriol Tintó in my opinion even if it does not match what is shown in that video. Abzeronow (talk) 21:08, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Uploader also states he received that image from Tintó in Commons:Deletion requests/File:MSM UVglobe-1024x1024.png Abzeronow (talk) 21:15, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, thanks for that. So we do have some confirmation of the author of the original image. Until we find another copy of the image online (or perhaps some sort of official licensing statement from Tintó himself), it would be inaccurate to say that we know for certain the licensing of this image. Obscure2020 (talk) 21:21, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for informing me of that. I now have even more grounds to object to your verification template.

[edit]Hello, In order not to make more mistakes, I ask you. I would like to upload to WikiCommons this photo, which is in public domain. But the web in which the photo is used has no CC-BY. By another web I discover the archive of the image, but there is no information online about it. Can I upload it? Thank you! Mentxuwiki (talk) 07:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, Azberonow. I'm writing here on order to ask for the undeletion of the following images:
This is my first post since the one-month block on Wikimedia Commons was lifted. The situation is complicated.
Before I tell you, I have to confess what I've hidden so far. In fact, a few months ago, I accidentally uploaded a Eurovision heart logo on Wikimedia Commons with an offensive Nazi symbol that is legally banned in some countries. Therefore, a Wikimedia Commons user submitted the file to the deletion request saying, "Germany used only the black, red, and gold tricolor in Eurovision. The rest of the file is a fictional logo". As a result, files created by other users have also been deleted because of community consensus. In other words, due to my carelessness in uploading files containing offensive symbols for non-educational purposes, even files created by other users that did not contain offensive symbols were deleted. However, the Flag heart symbols of Eurovision gallery has the sentence "Some flags may be proposal" and the Commons:Deletion requests/Eurovision heart-flags article has one user's opinion that "some files may serve educational purposes, even if they do not need to be used within a Wikimedia projects" (per COM:INUSE). A comprehensive look at the aforementioned paragraphs can be interpreted as meaning that even if the symbols are fictional, they do not contain offensive symbols to a particular group or the public and prove useful in an educational scope, there is no need to delete them from the Wikimedia Commons. In addition, the files referred to as undeletion requests were based on flags actually used in former countries and regions and did not include offensive Nazi symbols or similar symbols legally prohibited in some countries.
There is also an error as to why those files were deleted. Other users did not take issue when the Eurovision Heart logo, which was created by applying old flags that had never actually been used even though they had participated in Eurovision like Germany, or the Eurovision Heart logo, which was created by applying old flags from countries and regions that had never actually participated in Eurovision in the past only if both did not contain symbols that were offensive to certain groups or publics, was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. There's even an article in the Russian Wikipedia (See the Russian Wikipedia entry for Евровидение-1971, Евровидение-1972, Евровидение-1974, Евровидение-1975) that uses the Eurovision heart logo created by applying the old flags of countries and regions that have never really participated in Eurovision, and the Eurovision heart logo created by applying the old flags that have never been used even though they have actually participated in Eurovision. Additionally, the article Commons:Deletion requests/Eurovision heart-flags states that the Eurovision heart version of the flag can be used not only for Eurovision-related purposes, but also to express love for a specific country. Therefore, the claim that it should be deleted because it is not useful for educational purposes is incorrect.
After being blocked from Wikimedia Commons for a month, I have come to reflect on my inexperienced behavior of uploading deleted files again without consultation, and using symbols that are offensive to certain groups or publics for non-educational purposes. I have found that reuploading such deleted files without consultation, or using symbols that are offensive to certain groups or the publics for purposes other than education, could be a bigger reason for punishment later on. Also, I didn't create any sock puppet accounts that were strictly banned from Wikimedia while they were blocked from Wikimedia Commons.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused to users of Wikimedia Commons by my misbehavior. The request for undeletion requires a recusal request to avoid a conflict of interest with the user who proposed deletion or the administrator who decided to delete it, but it is clear that we have no intention of accusing the user. Therefore, I would like to ask you to undelete only the Eurovision Heart logo, which has been found not include offensive Nazi symbols, which are legally prohibited in some countries. Sangjinhwa (talk) 14:17, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- My personal view is that we should not have Eurovision heart flags for countries that no longer existed in 1956, so no Eurovision Prussia flags. Eurovision Saar Protectorate would barely make the cut (reunited with West Germany in 1957). I'd obviously consider East Germany. I'd have to get the OK of @Rosenzweig: and @Pi.1415926535: for this. But honestly, it's not a loss to no longer have these files since it's essentially personal fanfiction and not actually educational. Abzeronow (talk) 15:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I will raise a counterargument. The Soviet Union, which never participated in Eurovision, existed from 1922, before the creation of Eurovision, until its dissolution in 1991. So should the Soviet flag version of the Eurovision heart logo file also be deleted? I don't think this is fair. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 15:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- OK, if the Soviet Eurovision flag is in use, then by policy, it's automatically in scope. If it's unused, it should be deleted. If you have a potential Wikipedia use for Saar Eurovision or East German Eurovision flags, then please tell me. Abzeronow (talk) 15:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I need to explain this part. I looked at the link to the Russian Wikipedia article mentioned above and there was a paragraph that mentioned East German stations where Eurovision was broadcast. The remaining files were deleted due to my carelessness as an active and constructive participant in Wikimedia Commons. Additionally, the COM:INUSE paragraph states, "custom the uploading of small numbers of images (e.g. of yourself) for use on a personal Commons user page is allowed if you are an active, constructive participant on Commons." -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation, I'm inclined to restore the East German ones now. Commons is a collaborative project so I'll wait to see if Rosenzweig and Pi respond. There's no rush on restoring them, so I'll wait a few days before making a decision. Abzeronow (talk) 16:54, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- First of all, I acknowledged that the remaining files were deleted due to my carelessness in uploading files containing offensive Nazi symbols, and the file that caused the cause, that is, the file containing offensive Nazi symbols, was excluded from the request for undeletion. However, there is a sentence in the Flag heart symbols of Eurovision gallery article that says, "Eurovision-style heart-flags, Some flags may be proposal", and I think the issue will be how to interpret this. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 17:32, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- No, the reason why they were deleted was that the nominator and closing admin felt all were out of scope. Category descriptions don't overule scope. You are not the reason why they were deleted. Abzeronow (talk) 17:37, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- My situation is complicated. To be precise, I acknowledged the negligence of uploading files containing aggressive Nazi symbols that are beyond the educational spectrum, and revealed that I had excluded files containing Nazi symbols from the request for undeletion. Meanwhile, in the case of East Germany, the Russian Wikipedia article stated that there was a paragraph referring to the stations on which Eurovision was broadcast (including East Germany), where the Eurovision heart logo was attached. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 17:51, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

- I still don't feel that any of those files are in project scope and think files of that kind should be restricted to actually participating countries. I'm also not aware of any GDR broadcast stations actually transmitting the song contest. Large parts of East Germany were able to receive West German radio and TV stations though (including their ESC coverage of course), which was not allowed, but done anyway. The East German broadcasters (I'm not even sure if there was more than one) were under control of the ruling Communist regime, and they were opposed to the ESC. The Eastern European countries had their own song contest, the Intervision song contest. --Rosenzweig τ 17:54, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with you that Eurovision wasn't offically supported by East Germany, and the ruling regime would frown on its people listening, but as say, de facto parts of East Germany would be part of its audience. I also agree with you that in general, files of this kind should be restricted to those who actually participated as files of countries that never participated is fodder for alternate history sites which have tended to dump such files here, and we don't want to encourage such behavior. Abzeronow (talk) 20:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
The Flag heart symbols of Eurovision gallery is "a collection of files that have modified the flags of specific countries and regions to match the heart logo used in Eurovision", and it does not matter whether the countries actually participated in Eurovision. Of course, this only applies if it does not contain symbols that are offensive to certain groups or the public and serves an educational purpose. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 18:25, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Gallery descriptions don't overrule scope. And you're incorrect about "symbols that are offensive to certain groups", if said symbols are in scope, they would be kept. Commons is not censored. I recently restored files that were clearly derived from Nazi flags but the files were in use when they were deleted and I said that as someone with a Jewish ancestor and Polish ancestry that I found the files repugnant. Abzeronow (talk) 18:33, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I have been an active and constructive participant in the Commons. Wikimedia Commons also states that for files that are only used by Wikimedia Commons, "An otherwise non-educational file does not acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a gallery page or in a category on Commons, nor solely because it is in use on a user page, but by custom the uploading of small numbers of images (e.g. of yourself) for use on a personal Commons user page is allowed if you are an active, constructive participant on Commons." -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 19:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I think you'd qualify as a substantial contributor so I think it's possible to restore them as allowable personal artwork. We can always disclaim that these are fictitious and that they are allowed under the small number of personal files exemption for contributors. Because of the fictitious nature of these files, I am naturally cautious about the prospect of restoration because we tend to get a lot of fictitious flags that we would need to delete.

Dear Abzeronow,
I am contacting you regarding the actions taken to delete the Parliament.bg template (that is already a fact) and all the files using it (in the hundreds). As I cannot state my reasoning on the Deletion request page, I kindly ask for your time and response to the following considerations:
While the National Assembly's terms of use statement is not citing a CC BY license per se, their content and intent closely align with the principles of CC BY. The terms effectively grant the same permissions as CC BY, with the sole requirement being attribution, making them functionally equivalent to a CC BY license in practice. The terms do not mention any restrictions on commercial use or creation of derivative works. In CC licenses, anything not explicitly forbidden is allowed and restrictions are explicitly stated (e.g., NC, ND). The National Assembly's terms (bespoke public use license) follow this logic by stating broad permission with only an attribution requirement. The absence of explicit permission for specific (commercial, adapt) uses in the terms does not equate to prohibition but implies that these uses are permitted, especially given the opening statement allowing free use.
The argument that "for each uploaded file it should be shown it complies with the licensing on Commons to keep the file" is not directly relevant to determining whether the terms are equivalent to CC BY. This is more of a procedural requirement for content management rather than a fundamental aspect of the license terms.
Please let me know if there are some specific actions from our side we could take to prevent the deletions of all the files (images) from Parliament.bg uploaded to Commons and to restore/create a new version of the template.
Thank you very much for your time and cooperation!

- Re: but implies that these uses are permitted. You are demonstrating a key misunderstanding of the COM:L#Acceptable licenses policy requirements - these conditions must be present, not assumed. It is for a reason that the word must is highlighted many times in the text in bold and italics. You're not the first who tries to declare we can get away with it, but that's not acceptable. Quick1984 (talk) 13:32, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- What is not acceptable, Quick1984, is your claim that I am "not the first who tries to declare we can get away with it" by which you assume and suggest certain incentive from my side and put thoughts and words in my mouth. I understand that people express themselves differently and may put different meanings into their words. I also understand that I may be showing an reprehensible misunderstanding from your point of view - and not just me in this case (I discussed the case with a copyright attorney аmong others). But if I may, I would say that your attitude shows disrespect to Wikimedia Foundation Universal Code of Conduct. Please revise your statement, moderate your tone and demonstrate collegiality and respect for the knowledge and differences in experience of others. Thank you

- Pelajanela, the consensus was that the terms of use did not conform to the license that was stated with the template. The terms of use were unclear if the photographs actually did fall under a license that only required attribution, and it is not adequately defined what was considered free use of the material (were modifications allowed? was commercial use allowed?) To prevent files that had been licensed under the template from being deleted, it has to be clearly shown that the files are in fact freely licensed in a way that Commons can accept, and right now, it's unclear whether that is actually the case.

Files
[edit]Hello Abzeronow you deleted the file "File:Flag-map of Bolivia, Wiphala & bandera de la flor de Patujú.svg" saying the original one was deleted for copyright reasons, however the original one is requested to be undeleted according to this discussion. Can you restore the file and the original one please? Thanks in advance. Janitoalevic (talk) 20:59, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

VRT
[edit]Just wondering if this was available in 2006? I think the consensus is not to delete all old files where current tools weren't available. Isn't it? Enhancing999 (talk) 16:51, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- You are correct that 2006 files would have looser standards of permission COM:GOF. However, consensus was to keep the file deleted (two longtime users opposed restoration) and Jim also opposing restoration. Abzeronow (talk) 16:58, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- The question is if the deletion was done correctly (no supervoting, even by longtime users). The result seems to be the arguments there were incorrect and there was no consensus on the scope issue. People seem to refer to Wikipedia discussions which seem to have concluded that the article there was just bad or badly referenced, and might have been improved.
- Also apparently the VRT argument was erroneous. Shouldn't a longtime user be aware of that?
- It's clear that we could just all give random arguments without trying to evaluate them and then count the number of admin who supervoted, but I think this isn't what we aren't trying to do in WMF projects, isn't it? Would some defeat the point of having discussions in the first place. Enhancing999 (talk) 17:05, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- How are we going to fix this? If Jim violated COM:GOF I guess we need to restore this. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:10, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Are you sure about your deletion of this? Looking at the history and the original source it looks fine in source and copyright terms, but like the original uploader of this third-party file vandalized his own page after uploading. Please have a look and let me know what you think. - Jmabel ! talk 06:16, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- The uploader blanked the file and it fit the G7 criteria. I'm not opposed to restoration if that's desired. Abzeronow (talk) 06:21, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- If it had been the uploader's own work I'd agree on the G7, but it's an in-scope image with an appropriate license from a third party. I think it should be restored. Since you were the deleting admin, could you either restore it or say explicitly that it's OK with you if I do? (I think you kind of said that, but explicit is clearer.) Thanks. - Jmabel ! talk 18:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'll make it explicit, I'm OK with restoration. Abzeronow (talk) 18:30, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Could you allow overwriting for a bit? I've been asked (my talk page) to upload an improved file (same color, but with the arrows meeting in the center instead of being slightly offset), and I don't see the point of uploading it under yet another file name. Plus, if there's a problem with it, this way it will be easy to revert. Thanks. Kwamikagami (talk) 04:38, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
