[edit] User Yann is actin against law

User Yann is blocking catalan people motived only for ethnic hate. No motives, no warning (enven, some minutes before, I was remercied by other administrator). If Yann is not expulsed from commons quickly and is supporting in his ethnic cleasing by Wikipedia, I suspend my licence for my images; if they are used by Wikipedia you will are violating copyright. Then my daughter that is lawyer will claim you the adequate compensation by judicial means. bloked user: Jolle

You completely ignored warnings on your userpages, and were thus blocked according to policy by Yann. Also something nice to note, you cannot revoke GFDL and Creative Commons licenses. Have a nice day. -- Bryan (talk to me) 20:57, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Were any of his uploads actually his to license? --Gmaxwell 21:23, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Do we have any policy on legal threats here? On some projects, his threats to claim compensation could get him blocked (see en:Wikipedia:No legal threats. He has been unblocked after the threats were made, which he specifically mentions; I'm concerned that this is a user who is going to keep playing the discrimination and lawsuit cards, and there are certainly issues that need to be dealt with in his uploads. He was also quite uncivil at User_talk:Thuresson#Money_scans, and his explanation of copyright there shows that he really doesn't understand copyright issues. I've deleted the Norwegian bills, which were clear violations of both copyright and other laws. Cnyborg 01:57, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Also note that this user started spamming admins talkpages. Luckily they he didn't make it further than Alphax. I believe Ruyong has reverted all those edits. -- Bryan (talk to me) 15:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Technically, I don't think we have a policy on legal threats, but I don't see any reason for commons to be different from en: and the other WPs that have the same policy (but not de: ? I didn't see iw from en:'s page). Anybody disagree? Stan Shebs 23:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Unless we want to get constantly harassed with legal threats, we should treat them like how they are on en.wiki. --Cat out 21:41, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commons:Administrators' noticeboard

I reverted your last edit in Commons:Administrators' noticeboard because you deleted edits from other users at the same time. So, please, redo it (I think it will be simpler). --Juiced lemon 20:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I wrote this message for user:Dake, by mistake on this talk page. --Juiced lemon 00:51, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archival

Admins: Please archive old and finished discussions accordingly on a regular basis. Thanks, -- Bryan (talk to me) 20:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Can we get a bot to do this? It may be useful to have it archive only sections marked with {{resolved}} or somesuch, rather than simply by age.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 16:22, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Special:Uncategorized categories

I have gone through 333 pages in this Special Group about 2-3 days ago and the ones that I connected to Categories have not been removed of this page Special:Uncategorized categories Brianna thought it would take a day but so far it has been longer. I am also speedy deleting obvious renamings and unused categories if someone could delete them so I can clean up this page WayneRay 17:02, 3 November 2007 (UTC)WayneRay

[edit] Propose Merge

I don't think COM:AN/A is necessary. It should be merged with COM:AN. Why have two pages that are basically the same?

Also, can we rename COM:AN/V to include things like spam reports and bad usernames? Rocket000 22:42, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I basically agree with both statements - especially #2. — Giggy 23:35, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I also agree. It's better to centralize everything. --Boricuæddie 23:39, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Not necessarily - I would like to see some separate noticeboards (user problem does a good job by itself at the moment), but in most cases I agree. — Giggy 23:54, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I was think about proposing a merge of COM:AN/V, COM:AN/U, COM:AN/B, and possibly even COM:DN all under something like Commons:User issues, but then I thought it's better to keep things separate. Maybe we can do something about all these, though. Like have one page for reporting vandals/spammers/sockpuppets (not really a discussion board), one for protection/unprotection requests (not really a discussion board), and a user problems page (discussion/conflict-resolution page - and not just for admins). I'm not sure about these, but I just feel like we have way too many. It's not just watching and following them all, but it's harder for new users to figure out where they're suppose to post (many times posting in the wrong place, anyway). Rocket000 03:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I like the way things are organized now, it's been this way for at least since I became an admin and I think it works well. I'd oppose any mergers without a lot more justification. ++Lar: t/c 12:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, what about just merging/getting rid of COM:AN/A? It's practically the same as the main page, COM:AN. Rocket000 11:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two questions

1) Re this IFD Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Arbeitmachtfrei_20.jpg, couldn't this be speedy deleted? 2) Once an image with no license and no source is tagged, how long do we wait before deleting it? — Rlevse • Talk • 23:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

  1. At this point, it's been open for more than seven days, and there is in my opinion a clear concensus for deletion, so it should be ready for closing, but since I'm the one who opened the request, I'll let another admin close it.
  2. Normally seven days. Sometime sooner if it's an obvious copyright violation, but more often later, because we're undderstaffed, overworked and outnumbered. —LX (talk, contribs) 23:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't notice it was from November, so I've deleted the image. — Rlevse • Talk • 00:18, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't speedy something like that myself. When it's highly likely an image is free, even if it's missing info, I liked to give uploaders a chance to add it (they had plenty of time in this case). All that info could have easily been provided. Then it's time to rely on forming a consensus to determine if it's in our scope. Anything with Wikipedia as the subject already has its foot in the door. Rocket000 03:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
BTW, LX you could have corrected the source/license in less words and time than nominating it, since you knew what it should say. (could have still nom'd per COM:SCOPE, I guess.) Rocket000 03:24, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
As one of the copyright holders of the derivative work, they would still have to explicitly approve publication the licensing terms, even if there is only one valid set of licensing terms as dictated by the original works. It's not for me to make licensing changes on their behalf. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, it's not for them to make that choice either. GFDL stays GFDL. But I know what you mean. Rocket000 10:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Layout

Take a look at my noticeboard I'm thinking we can fix this noticeboard to something like this. It's only a suggestion for now, it doesn't mean will fix the noticeboard just like that but maybe some of it, or all if anybody agreed on it. --Kanonkas(talk) 20:07, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

 Oppose ^_^ Mainly because it is easier to watch one page, than 100. --ShakataGaNai Talk 20:50, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose until there is such a thing as cascading watching. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Cascade watching? Commons:Administrators' discussion index, kinda. Rocket000 (talk) 21:25, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
  • 反对 we already have enough noticeboards to watch. There was already some proposed work under way on attention which would reduce the number of boards to watch. This proposal, while streamlined, increases page load times, the job queue, and the number of subpages to be watched. --O (谈 • висчвын) 23:51, 14 June 2008 (GMT)
This is not really meant to be a poll just so that is clear, it's a suggestion about how the noticeboard can be, if anybody else could suggest something else fine by me. --Kanonkas(talk) 05:01, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I much prefer to one suggested at /Attention... can we get some more eyes on that please. giggy (:O) 05:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't think this page needs subpages, at least not at present. Per-issue subpages are useful for things like COM:DEL, where there are a lot of edits to a lot of specific issues and where most people may only be interested in a few issues at a time. This page should be as easy as possible to edit and watch, which it achieves at the moment (apart from there being too many noticeboards). If it ain't broken, fix it until it is don't fix it. :) —LX (talk, contribs) 09:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Eichbaum Kellerbier 2007.jpg

Hi! What happened to this beer photo made by me: Image:Eichbaum Kellerbier 2007.jpg?? It just disappeared, but the description page is still there. The picture is used now at least in de:Eichbaum-Brauereien, en:Mannheim and it was a selected picture at Portal:Beer. Would you please check what happened to this image. Thanks in advance! Alex Ex (talk) 17:24, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, strange. But it would be better to put such a question/request either directly on Commons:Administrators' noticeboard or on the Commons:Village pump. --Túrelio (talk) 17:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, you are right. I wonder how I came to the talk page. I copied a request at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard. Alex Ex (talk) 06:31, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trouble

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Anaglifo.jpeg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Creación_de_anaglifos.jpg

I'm the owner of both pictures. I can't prove that I'm Ricardo Mo... Ru... but I'm.

In fact, I want to change the license of the first picture under Public Domain.

Both images are from my house.
