The evil that men do... on Commons
The other day, I came across the contributions of Kukurydziarz (talk · contribs) (now banned) and discovered that he had transferred tens of thousands of files from Flickr without ever adding a category (I added a single, basic category for all the files from Warsaw, Kraków, and Prague). I also came across the contributions of 6D (talk · contribs), who may or may not be the same person, and who has also transferred gazillions of files from Flickr without ever adding a category. Of course, their instrument was the wretched Flickr2Commons, a tool that does more harm than good, because it does not invite to due diligence. I feel very discouraged by that state of things. To know that there are so many files floating around without anybody being able to find them by a category search, which is the most precise search. What's in store for nerds like us? More blows. Sad. Edelseider (talk) 11:08, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- No one seems to have noticed this topic, because another one was posted at the same time... --Edelseider (talk) 11:00, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Sadly this is not the only instance - there are thousands of uncategorized images on commons. Don't be discouraged - if we we keep working at it we will get there Gbawden (talk) 11:15, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- Indeed, a group of us are currently working on categorizing files that were marked uncategorized in 2017. Category:Media needing categories is where you can find things that don't have categories yet. Abzeronow (talk) 16:01, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
User removed the deletion nomination
The user (Syazwi Irfan) removed the deletion nomination for the file he uploaded called "File:Castille War.png" while the discussion is still ongoing. Furthermore, he also admitted of obtaining the image from a blog site without any license or permission thus violating the copyright laws of Brunei Darussalam. For the info, all the relevant discussion can be found at: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Castille war.png. JellyLotus (talk) 08:37, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- Also, I suspected that he also uploaded others' work obtained from the internet based on his contributions list. I suggest an investigation should be done on this user. Link to contributions Special:Contributions/Syazwi Irfan JellyLotus (talk) 08:41, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
Done Reverted and user warned Gbawden (talk) 08:56, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! JellyLotus (talk) 09:07, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
Undeletion requests waiting
Hi, Some undeletion requests are waiting. I guess the requests about the videos are pending partly due to the number of files to be undeleted. There is no opposition, so I can take care of that part Monday if there is no objection. Yann (talk) 10:28, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
- I undeleted all files of the videos requests. Some files can't be undeleted due to phab:T291137. Yann (talk) 13:14, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
Suppress higher resolution version of File:Manila by night.jpg
Can an admin suppress the higher-resolution version of this Flickr import that is governed by the unfree licensing? Inferring from an input by Clindberg at Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2023/07#Higher-resolution after Flickr licence change, we should generally honor the Flickr photographer's decision to change to unfree license and just instead keep the lower resolution copy here that was imported during the time the Flickr image was under the commercial CC license. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:06, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Done. --A.Savin 02:29, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks! JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:37, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
