Suggestion

[edit]

Hi, This looked like a good suggestion. Any idea why it was not done? Were there objections? -- Asclepias (talk) 14:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! My guess is that noone noticed and I forgot about it :-) If you add a comment of support I think it should be safe to change it now. --MGA73 (talk) 14:45, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Supporting comment left on the talk page. However, I suppose that the change will have to be made in each language subpage. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:21, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I just saw that it had also been suggested in 2011 on Template talk:File license/en#PD-self -> CC-zero where there's a vague reference to another discussion. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:32, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well we could just leave a notice at VP that "We suggest X and if there are no protests or better ideas we will change it". It has waited for 13 years so it can probably wait one more week :-) --MGA73 (talk) 15:49, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! I put a notice on Commons:Village_pump#Suggest_cc-zero_instead_of_PD-self. --MGA73 (talk) 08:58, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Asclepias! I think we have support to change. Do you know an easy way to update all the relevant pages/translations? --MGA73 (talk) 08:55, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there's an easy way to do it. I'm not experienced with technical tools. -- Asclepias (talk) 09:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Michael,

Please review this file if the flickrbot does not review it. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 14:13, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MGA73, I noticed that your Bot is not active anymore. Do you still need the botflag? Best regards, TenWhile6 19:39, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TenWhile6! No, I have no plans to use my bot on German Wikipedia at the moment. So you may remove the bot flag. --MGA73 (talk) 14:35, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your quick answer, I will take care of that. Thanks for your great crosswiki work! It's nice that your CA is clear now, you may understand what I mean. :) TenWhile6 14:38, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you TenWhile6! I guess I made it in the news in German Wikis ;-) --MGA73 (talk) 14:46, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TenWhile6! Of you are active on de.wikiversity then you are very welcome to have a look at v:de:Wikiversity:Cafeteria#Neulizenzierung_von_GFDL_auf_CC-BY-SA and comment/fix. I'm getting close to finish this project: m:User:MGA73/GFDL files. --MGA73 (talk) 13:09, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I am not really "active" out of dewiki. TenWhile6 13:11, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Aha, thats okay. I moved some files from de:Kategorie:Datei:GFDL but there are soooo many. So I thought I would start somewhere else because there seems to be very few copyright issues on dewiki  :-) --MGA73 (talk) 13:18, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

License review favor

[edit]

Hi MGA73. Months ago, after I asked on Village Pump for somebody to do it, you reviewed the license of the 10 JPG files in Category:2010 orthophotomaps of cities in Asturias. Today, I've also uploaded the same 10 files in their original version (PDF format, from which the JPEG images were generated by me) to the same category. Would you be so kind as to do the same license review on them? The content is exactly the same as in the JPEG versions, but with a slightly higher resolution, so you don't need to look again at the source site if you don't want (if you want, the steps to follow are here). Many thanks in advance. MGeog2022 (talk) 21:47, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MGeog2022! I reviewed the files. --MGA73 (talk) 13:15, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MGA73, thank you very much again! :-) MGeog2022 (talk) 13:19, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to help. Easy task when there is a good guide :-) --MGA73 (talk) 13:20, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This DR

[edit]

Dear Michael,

Please feel free to decide whether to keep or delete this DR. The image is sadly unusable and I managed to upload 2 replacement photos. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:15, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:BlackBoxComponentBuilder16rc6.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{self|cc-zero}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Dear Michael,

If you wish, please feel free to apply the {{PD-author-FlickrPDM}} license and order a new flickrreview to images in the above category with your bot. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I will have a look. And I wonder if Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Add_an_outcome_of_LicenseReview can help a bit :-) --MGA73 (talk) 12:27, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the tip! Bot cleared most of the files. --MGA73 (talk) 21:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This DR and this DR

[edit]

Dear Michael,

Does Commons need to keep this 2 images which are under DR. They are not used. And the original version is the image on the flickr source. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:23, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the files. They were edited and no reason provided why they were needed. --MGA73 (talk) 06:46, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
