Understanding "blocked"

[edit]

By being blocked due to copyright violations, does that also include being blocked on Wikipedia or just Commons? RowanJ LP (talk) 14:54, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RowanJ LP: Just Commons.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:04, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There's currently an image that is being considered for deletion before the last warning was sent to me, if that image is deleted for copyright violations would that be used to block me? RowanJ LP (talk) 16:11, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@RowanJ LP: Only files that you uploaded after my warning would count as "after final warning". However, every file you uploaded in the past 8 days (since 00:10, 17 February 2025 (UTC)) could count for a trigger-happy Admin.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:19, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the delete template

[edit]

I added the {{Delete}} template as you suggested at User_talk:Dbsnp#File_copyright_status, the instructions you kindly provided are incomplete or unclear. Can you clarify your request? Please, also point out what upload is problematic so I can act on it. Otherwise, revert my changes or delete my upload(s). Thanks. Dbsnp (talk) 15:19, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dbsnp: Which part of "required" in Template:Delete/doc is unclear? You were missing these required parameters: "day=25|month=February|year=2025". You also did not create the subpage, notify, or transclude. You could have read the results of what you did and taken appropriate action. Are you willing to run JavaScript? File:Thegreenwebfoundation-logo.png was deleted due to being out of scope, not a copyright problem, sorry for the wrong warning, please read COM:PS.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:28, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Jeff G., I understand now! I thought you were flagging a delete request I had just made a few minutes earlier. I now understand the file deletion reasons. Thanks! Dbsnp (talk) 15:40, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Dbsnp: You're welcome.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:43, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Hollander Firm Handles 2 Millian Furs Annually, September 18, 1917.jpg

[edit]

Hello, I got no warning before delation of this old image. Are yóu able to restore this file, so I can see it? -- Kürschner (talk) 18:42, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Kürschner: You were warned 14:20, 31 August 2024 (UTC), and evidently you uploaded it from here and you asked for deletion 24 September 2024 (UTC). No, sorry, I am not able to restore it, but see COM:REFUND. Note that the newspaper story dates from 1947, 30 years after your claim in the filename.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 18:52, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. -- Kürschner (talk) 19:03, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

section resolved template

[edit]

Can you please stop applying {{Section resolved}} on the admin noticeboard on threads that already have {{Done}}. It puts those pages on the top of admins' watchlists even when there's nothing new that needs admin attention. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 17:48, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Squirrel Conspiracy: Ok. Does that apply just to AN or also AN/V, AN/B, and AN/U?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:52, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, really anywhere that already has {{Done}}, as long as it's not buried by subsequent meaningful comments (i.e. not just "thanks"), adding a second template is unnecessary, but I'm mostly concerned with any boards where admins need to monitor closely for new changes. AN/V, AN/B, and AN/U are the main ones. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 17:57, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@The Squirrel Conspiracy: I see. Thank you for discussing it calmly.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 18:00, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you doing the exact same thing again when I already closed your batch nom once before? It makes it very hard for me to assume good faith when you do something like that even though I try to. Jonteemil (talk) 19:54, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonteemil: I'm sorry, I forgot from 2023, and my previous nom was collapsed.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:31, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's okay but you really have to take threshold of originality into account when tagging files as copyvios. I went through your other noms and while some ended in deleted some have been blatantly below TOO such as these ones. Jonteemil (talk) 20:43, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A sincere apologies

[edit]

hello Jeff G and moderators! I apologize to both you and the page itself. I behaved very badly, it was my first time on the page and I didn't know how it worked. I made a lot of mistakes in the day and a half I was here and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I also have to thank you for deleting the two files I uploaded, I didn't want to have problems. Again, truly apologize and sorry for wasting your time. I hope it hasn't caused any problems due to copyrighted files. I probably won't appear here again for a long time because of the pity I feel for myself. And honestly, if they block my account, I deserve it! Thank you a thousand times. Forgiveness from the heart And sorry for my English, it's bad Fedex2025 Fedex2025 (talk) 21:06, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fedex2025: I understand. What other languages do you read or write?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:28, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Jeff G, good morning mate.
I can get by with English (I have learned to a certain level) but my native language is Spanish. Fedex2025 (talk) 11:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fedex2025: Thanks. My Spanish from 40 some years ago is rusty, but I know enough to direct lost pedestrians and rideshare drivers.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:13, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
