Hello Jeff G.

User:Kmuur seems to be missing the concept of what photographs are appropriate to upload on the Commons. Since you are nice to other users, perhaps you can convey that to this user without discouraging them. Or perhaps you know more about how to handle this than I do.

@Krok6kola: I warned them and started Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Kmuur.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:38, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! Krok6kola (talk) 01:36, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I recieved a final copyright warning threatening to be blocked on my talk page from you, but didn’t upload a copyrighted image? Not only that, this would be one of the first times I’m being hit by a copyright warning, so not sure how it can escalate to a one-more-block policy. Was this by mistake, because none of my images were flagged for copyright? Regards — Titan2456 (talk) 15:27, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Titan2456: So you didn't upload any of these (and more), as linked on your user talk page?

Well I guess I have a lot of accidental copyrights that I have forgotten about, thanks for reminding me on that. Which image did I upload that trigged this? No image in 2025 or even late 2024 of mine has been struck for copyright? Titan2456 (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Titan2456: I first became aware of your contributions after you made this edit and I reviewed Category:Malformed deletion requests and viewed your user talk page and the history of it.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:08, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do I access "User preferences" ?

[edit]

Hello, that ability to access my user preferences seems to have disappeared. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, Krok6kola (talk) 22:05, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. As soon as I asked you I figured it out, even though I have been trying all day! Krok6kola (talk) 22:09, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For posterity: Special:Preferences.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:54, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My wrong edits

[edit]

Hi Jeff, I'm trying to delete the erronous category page in commons, which I created this morning. I've received your second warning. I am really trying to properly request to delete this category page (Category:Blachnickiego street in Krościenko nad Dunajcem). Maybe my English or my poor technical knowledge do not allow me to understand, what I've been doing wrongly. My intention is really not to ignore the Wikimedia rules. I might just leave this category page alone, but I wanted to leave the effects of my edits in order, therefore my delete requests... Could you please, devote a moment, and let me know, how to properly request the removal of this category page? Thank you in advance, Happa (talk) 17:32, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Happa: We generally don't remove category redirects as a matter of policy COM:CATRED.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 19:00, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the explaining. But this category is a "simple typo" and from COM:CATRED I infer it can and should be deleted. But I won't try since I don't want to get a "third warning"... Best regards, Happa (talk) 21:10, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Happa: You may use {{bad name|new name}} or {{speedydelete|moved to [[:Category:…]] because …}} in peace.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:09, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
