Вилучення зображень
Більшість моїх завантажень є повністю моїми роботами, які я створив особисто. Які потрібно навести докази, щоб вони не були вилучені? Alterbat (talk) 07:14, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Most of your coas and flags are hoaxes. There are not official symbols. And if you are author of them, there is original research, and it is not apropriate for wiki. // Якщо ви автор, то більшість цих гербів є містифікацією. Герби, які придумали ви самі, не можна називати гербом міста чи села. ВОни фактично є вашими оригінальними досілдженнями, що заборонено у Вікіпедії.--Anatolii 🇺🇦 (talk) 21:28, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I got some other photos from the same source that need to be removed for copyvio reasons, please. I was misguided in thinking those had the correct permissions for Commons, thanks:
Hello, I noticed that my photo (Dragan_Boscovic.jpg) has been taken down. As i am the copyright holder and the photo is my work, I would like to know why it was taken down and how can i restore it. Thanks in advance, David Boskovicdd (talk) 14:12, 6 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Boskovicdd: Well, the person is you, isn't he? Do not reupload deleted images, or you might be blocked. Then who is the photographer? Why so small? Please upload the original image with EXIF data. Yann (talk) 11:36, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's not me in the picture, It's my uncle who I'm writing the article about. It was taken by a professional photographer without copyright.
2.2. I got the original picture which is 456x618px 96dpi 24 bit, Tempe AZ, 2018,no copyright, paid for by Dragan Boscovic. Should I upload that photo, and could you help me meet the necessary requirements for publication. Thanks in advance, Boskovicdd (talk) 19:13, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Copyright violations
Hi, two replies to your warnings:
File:Thugs with Dirty Mugs title card.png is a modified version ("very badly discolored") of a copyrighted screenshot; the original version is the one I uploaded, and in the discolored version you can still see the Blue Ribbon drawing. Besides the fact that it is not even from the original version of the cartoon, but from a Blue Ribbon reissue, I can't understand what purpose this image could serve.
User .KRAAIJEVELD. started his Wikimedia career in 2015 placing two photo's of himself here and since then placing semi-nonsense on photos in CAPITALS in Dutch language. (I speak Dutch myself).
Hello
I am contacting you directly because you have in the past warned and blocked this user. I am by no means an expert about Commons policy etc, but it seems to be that they have uploaded (yet again) this file that was deleted at this deletion request, and which twovisits to Undeletion requests have failed to change.
In addition, yesterday they uploaded, as their own work, a picture of Richard Williamson that is, to my untrained eye, an obvious screenshot possibly from a video, almost certainly, based on clothes, background and date, at this event held in Rome on that day. It is not, I believe a screenshot from that video, since it is from a slightly different angle, and I admit that I haven't been able to find the actual source, but given that MineEdu speaks Portuguese, what are the chances that he happened to be in Rome to take this very low quality picture , given the long, long history of copyvios. Anyway, as I said, not sure totally where the boundaries are on Commons but I thought I would bring it to your attention. @ Slp1 (talk) 16:06, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A little more decency, please (or: c'est le ton qui fait la musique as they say in France)
To be honest, I'm shocked. Not because a picture I uploaded in good faith was deleted, but because of how you reacted to it. First, you ask the rhetorical question of who is the photographer of a self-portrait taken in a mirror. Who, if not the person portrayed and named?
Then my question about the wiki commons compliant procedure was not answered. Finally, I was accused of copyright infringement because the page with the Wikipedia-compliant copyright information is no longer online - as if I had deleted it. Had I realised this, I would have saved the page as a PDF before and also had archive.org save it - neither of which, to my knowledge, is a prerequisite for citing a source.
Last but not least, I have been active on Wikipedia for 20 years, including as an administrator and author of thousands of undisputed contributions, and you give me just a ‘final warning’ before I will be banned? Yann, please take a deep breath before you start shooting sparrows with cannons. Or perhaps even better: talk and listen to the people. The vast majority of people don't come here with the malicious intention of breaking a rule. At least not those who have been here for years and contribute regularly. This is at least my experience from the small Wikipedias (<30K articles) where I am active as admin or user.
Yes, it happens regularly. :( For Frieze, it is not too bad, but I wrote to them anyway. And yes, it is difficult to claim a copyright for the Banière funéraire. Thanks for reporting. Yann (talk) 09:30, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Trantrongnam~conmonswiki puppet account
Hello Yann, I've seen that you banned the account VNM EST.1976 02 as probably being a puppet account from Trantrongnam~conmonswiki. Well, there is this new account, Lukalovescats2, who acts pretty much like the other account, making unwanted or at least random reverts. I've had to revert plenty of reverts from this account, specially the Nuvola flags one, since I actively use them. That's why I'd like if you take a look into this account. Thank you in advance, I'll wait for your answer. Greetings, PFSV-UY (talk) 02:17, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.
Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Thanks. Might you have any insight regarding the progress of Commons:Deletion requests/Uploads by User:Kingmidas911? Many of those seem pretty clear-cut, & perhaps I should not have listed those at DR. I suppose this is a rhetorical question but is there any mechanism by which uploaders must clean up their own misidentifications (particularly when there's a recurring pattern of it)? -- Gyrofrog(talk)14:56, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Images from archive.org images - Banknotes and coins
Yann,
Don't know how exactly work these media (images) copyrights but I'm trying to upload images from a web site that does not longer exist and it can only be checked in archive.org. This a government website of the Central Bank of Cuba and does not longer exist. The images are banknotes and coins of the Republic of Cuba. TheTreasuryBay (talk) 20:18, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Yann. I hope you are well. User:Savydealadded a {{BollywoodHungama}} tag to this file along with a claim that you had verified its copyright status. I presume this latter claim is false, otherwise you would have so tagged it yourself.
Hi, I don't see any issue with this file. Please read the license. Unless otherwise stated, all pictures from /parties-and-events/ are OK. Yann (talk) 18:37, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Si tu as un moment, il semble assez clair que cette photo a été réalisée par un photographe de Canal+ lors du tournage d'une émission. Le contributeur qui l'a versée sans authentification est bloqué sur fr.WP pour avoir très largement abusé sur l'article de la personnalité concernée. Bonne fin d'après-midi. Tisourcier (talk) 15:22, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But if you need a request for checkuser just let me know. ChickHicks21. Same behavior as Guishín Pastofrio. The first one was fired minutes ago from es:wp. Here in Commons, you may notice the coincidence in actions by looking at their user pages. Pay attention to the first edit summaries of both users when uploading an image.

Hi Yann, I saw my upload Oyeleke.Ajiboye.jpg was deleted and I'm somewhat lost on what to do. Because I uploaded it using the free for all license. Could you point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate that. Thank you Michael.Ovie (talk) 21:32, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Michael.Ovie: Hi, Never reupload a deleted file. You posted an undeletion request, to which I answered. In this case, we need a formal written permission for a free license from the copyright holder, who is usually the photographer, not the subject. Please follow the procedure at COM:VRT. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:49, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Deleted file
Hi Yann, I saw my upload Typeduck.webp and TypeDuck Windows02.jpg were deleted and I'm somewhat lost on what to do. May I know what should I do in order to get permission to undelete the file. Do I have to get a formal permission. I would really appreciate that. Thank you. 網路洛克人 (talk) 23:15, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, you've deleted several photos that I have received explicit permission to use. As this nonsensical system of having the holder separately go through some bureaucracy would not have been possible at the time, I uploaded the images with the intent of dealing with this at a later date, all at once.
Furthermore you've carried out these deletions in a single day despite the very note you left stating that this process takes a week.
Thank you for your service in preventing the archiving of information. I will make sure to just lie about the copyright in the future as this seems to largely go ignored on Commons. MartinusK (talk) 12:11, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MartinusK: Hey, keep cool! You can't upload things and "intent of dealing with this at a later date". You have to care about the permission before you upload files here, and make sure than the copyright holder sends the permission on time. Please follow the procedure at COM:VRT. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:23, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
