[edit] Flickr upload bot

MySQL was dead, but the server admins have restarted it. Should work again. -- Bryan (talk to me) 14:25, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't access any of the Wikipedia's for many hours after I posted the question. I finally got on now. I couldn't ping my primary or secondary servers. Much of the problem was probably mine. Royalbroil ^T : C 02:24, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. Please remember that all uploads require source, author and license information. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you. --Siebrand 13:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Oops! I have now added a licensing tag. I was the author/photographer. Royalbroil 21:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flickr upload bot

 Done. You might encounter severe downtime the next few days due to server downtime (broken harddisks again...) -- Bryan (talk to me) 08:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for allowing me to upload more the 6 images per hour. Your trust is not misplaced. Royalbroil 13:40, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Fixed, I hope. Thank you for the report. -- Bryan (talk to me) 13:50, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Racing vehicles

Ni - please fix cat as you see fit. I thought it should have been right, but maybe it isn't. Got an injury yesterday in my right arm, so I'm not keen to do typing lefthanded to fix it myself. Ingolfson 09:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Since Commons:By location category scheme is being developed, there is no standard way. I picked keeping Category:Racing vehicles of New Zealand since it was easier. I will not argue if you change it to the other way. Royalbroil 12:17, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Farms

Hello, I read your comment of November 5th when reverting this [1]

I agree completely with your comment. However, a few days ago, the user has done massive similar and incomprehensible changes again. He essentially emptied the entire Farms category (including the removal of the entire category structure). Moreover, if a pic of a farm was nicely categorized in "farms in ...", he just removed it and placed in somewhere in farmhouses and agriculture, although, like you said in your edit comment a while ago, they simply depict a farm as is... I don't know what he's doing, but emptying and removing entire logical category structure doesn't seem to be what we need. If you have any thoughts on that, you're welcome,... ;-) --LimoWreck 23:21, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, discussion has been moved to Commons:Categories_for_discussion/Current_requests/2007/11/Category:Farms_by_Country#Category:Farms_by_country Best regards. --Foroa 16:37, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Flickr upload bot

Thanks for letting me know about that! I had heard something about the bot, and for some reason I thought that you had to be registered with the bot to use it. It looks really easy, though, after looking into it now. Do you know if it's possible to use it to upload a cropped version of a Flickr image (which I often do), from a local source on my computer? I'll go ahead and just test the bot (not in a bad way!), using a new TobyMac picture that I was going to upload soon. I appreciate the heads-up. :) JamieS93 13:18, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Different "trusted user"s

It may be a bit bureaucratic, but here at Commons we have different areas where users can apply for Trusted User status, being "trusted" in one area does not (yet) mean you will be "trusted" in another. You've just applied to be trusted as a Flickr-reviewer. That's well and good, and I'll support you there. (What I tried to) talk you into at my talk was Trusted user for MediaMoveBot sp that you will be allowed to command a bot move of images:Commons_talk:MediaMoveBot/CheckPage... The first (Flickr) is as you have seen sort of a vote (as you may have seen), the latter would be one-click-approved by the first admin. who passes by and knows you or checks editcount/participation in other projects. Finn Rindahl (talk) 09:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flickr images

Hi. As a result of your request at Commons talk:Flickr images/reviewers, I have added you to the reviewers list. Please see the instructions at Commons:Flickr images/reviewers and add {{user trusted}} to your userpage. You can ask me if you need any help. Cheers, —giggy 03:43, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fickr bot

Thanks for the heads-up, but I almost always crop or color-correct a Flickr image first, actually. Daniel Case (talk) 10:20, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Baraboo

I actually do believe it's the only Baraboo in the world (a rather unique corruption of a local French settler's name), but no harm in consistency. — Laura Scudder | Talk 02:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad that you agree for the consistency reason, even if it is the only Baraboo in the world. It is world famous for the circus, so that may have spawned other tiny derivatives. Royalbroil 04:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I found a better picture of nenad zimonjic Image:Dlouhy & Paes and Nestor & Zimonjic at the 2008 Rogers Cup.jpg, can you do a cropp please ? thanks--Euroman3 (talk) 14:27, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I like this picture better. What about that one instead? Royalbroil 05:16, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

No problem, the important is to find the better picture--Euroman3 (talk) 13:34, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I tried uploading it, only to find out that the image was already uploaded as Image:Nestor_&_Zimonjic_at_the_2008_Rogers_Cup.jpg. The bot did its job of not wasting space with duplicates. Is this the correct person in the foreground, or is the image named wrong? Royalbroil 14:02, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I have a sense of déjà vu, but what the hell, would you like me to nominate you for adminship on Commons? You seem to have all the right sort of experience and I'm pretty confident you'd pass. It looks like you'd find some use for the extra buttons. I think you'll find the process is much less daunting here than on enwiki. What do you think? WJBscribe (talk) 12:30, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Déjà vu all over again! I don't think that there's a rule against a person nominating someone for adminship on 2 different Wikimedia projects. I thought that you had retired? I'll think about it and I'll review other adminship nominations to see how it works. Royalbroil 00:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I have retired - at least as far as enwiki is concerned - but I found myself with a little time free (only a fraction of what I used to have for editing wikimedia projects mind you) and though I'd offer to help here again where things are a bit quieter. Do have look and see what you think - RfA is usually pretty free of drama over here. WJBscribe (talk) 00:47, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't worried about drama. I have noticed a huge difference between discussion on Commons versus the English Wikipedia. I'm delighted with how things are going on the Wikipedia projects. I think my ego would have been bruised had I not succeeded in my English Wikipedia RFA. I'm much more confident in my standing now. I think Commons adminship would be helpful, as I do review flickr images and find copyright violations. Sure, you can nominate me. Royalbroil 01:00, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

OK - see Commons:Administrators/Requests and votes/Royalbroil. Add a comment under my nom accepting and say anything else you feel like. Good luck, WJBscribe (talk) 01:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Administrator

EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations from me too. Glad it all went smootly! WJBscribe (talk) 16:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I thank everyone who spent time considering if I should become an Administrator. Your trust will not be misplaced. I thank WJBscribe for my nomination. I have listened to criticism and I appreciate the frankness. I've never been a fan of thankspamming everyone, so this is your thank you. Royalbroil 00:43, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] About User:Wagnelson

Hi there, Royalbroil. Sorry it took me this long to reply. I read the messages left to Wagnelson, and though it's clear that he doesn't understand Commons' scope, I don't think there's a language barrier, since those warning templates do autotranslate, and are pretty straight-forward, with links to learn more or get help (unless, of course, he didn't set his language to Portuguese in the preferences). I'll drop him a message, but I honestly don't expect him to reply. Thanks for warning me anyway :) (and btw congrats for becoming an admin!) Cheers, Waldir ^talk 20:29, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Just making clear, since you said "they can be autotranslated by a reader" -- I didn't mean one could use an automatic translation tool (such as Google Translate) to easily do the translation; I meant that the templates are automatically translated to the user's language according to their account preferences. I did read them in Portuguese, for example, because my prefs are set to use the Portuguese interface. You probably see the very same messages in English instead, since that is (I assume) your language interface. Still, you're right that a personal message is always better than an automatic warning. Let's see if he has any reaction. Cheers, --Waldir ^talk 13:49, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I must have been typing it up too quickly, my wording was poor. Yea, I do use the English translation since I'm only slightly fluent in another language. I am able to pick out some words in some romance languages that are close to English & Spanish, like Portuguese, Italian, French. Royalbroil 05:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Undeletion request

Hello there. I'm sure you meant well, but File:Lil Wayne (cropped).jpg and File:Che'Nelle.jpg (files that you deleted) were actually not copyright violations. At the time I uploaded them, they were set with "Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons" license, also known as CC-BY-SA license.

The author of these photos changed the license of photos afterwards. I understand why you were under the impression that the images were copyright violations when they in fact were not. Could you please undelete these two images? Karppinen (talk) 16:39, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

You're right, the original images that these were cropped from had been verified with the license CC-by-SA by the flickrreviewR robot, so I restored them. In the future, I suggest that you upload using the "It is a derivative work of a file from Commons" option instead so it'll be even more obvious. Cheers! Royalbroil 02:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:The Torment of Saint Anthony (Michelangelo).jpg

File:The Torment of Saint Anthony (Michelangelo).jpg is off the English Wikipedia main page. I would like to upload a higher-resolution image and tweak the text. Could you unprotect it? Thanks. Davidwr (talk) 01:18, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I just unprotected. Go for it! Royalbroil 02:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your deletion of File:Pentax K-7 with battery grip and lens.jpg

Thanks for checking up carefully on the copyright status of this image. I had uploaded it, based on the (totally incorrect) licensing information on Flickr. Lesson learned by me. Thanks again. Moxfyre (talk) 05:44, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

I read about the copyright issues on the flickr page, which is why I didn't give you a warning about uploading a questionable image. I don't believe it's indicative of your work. I often ask if the contributor took the picture before uploading an image. It's not a perfect world! Royalbroil 11:54, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Misspelled category name

Hello! I have found a misspelled category name. It's "Monastry of Saint John in Müstair" and should be "Monastery" etc. I was hoping that you could fix this, although I appreciate that your plate is very full. Jdsteakley (talk) 14:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done I did the move and deleted the category. No problem, happy to help! Royalbroil 04:31, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Oooh, very cool. Thank you! Jdsteakley (talk) 12:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Misspelled article name

Hi, again. You did such a great job on that Commons category name. How about a smaller project: an article. "Whistling Woods International Institute for Films, Media, Animationa and Media Arts" has an extra a on the word Animation. Jdsteakley (talk) 12:29, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done Wow, you had me confused for a while. You were talking about the article on the English Wikipedia. You probably were able to move it yourself, but I did it anyhow. No administrator abilities were needed. Glad to help you! Royalbroil 03:51, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Oops! Sorry -- I'm still finding my way around here. Anyway, thanks for the correction! Jdsteakley (talk) 04:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Jeffrey Earl Habay.jpg

Is there some kind of template you can think of to designate File:Jeffrey Earl Habay.jpg as having a correct license? I know it's not a flickr image, but could you put the flickerreviewed template on there, since it is functionally the same thing? Maybe subst: it out and replace "flickr" with "Picasa"? Would you please consider doing that? --Blargh29 (talk) 06:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Good question! Would you ask it at Commons talk:Licensing? I bet this has already been discussed in some form. Royalbroil 11:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I just came across Template:LicenseReview, which a general template for non-flicker free images. Since you are an admin, would you consider doing the honors of officially tagging this image? --Blargh29 (talk) 20:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for finding the template! I feel much better now that the license is officially confirmed. Royalbroil 00:27, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Problematic image here and on Wikipedia

Could you check File:CesareSiepi DonGiovanni.jpg, an image both here at at en:wp? Here, it's tagged as GFDL and CC, while at WP, it claims to be scanned from the album cover. I've nominated it for deletion here (at WP, it's already tagged for deletion as an orphaned nonfree image), but would you consider speedying it as a copyvio? Nyttend (talk) 01:57, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I didn't expect that the image was online, so instead of tagging it for deletion at WP, I'd left a note asking for deletion to be postponed until the Commons discussion was closed. Because you found the link and because it was eligible for deletion as a seven-day orphan, I've since deleted it. Nyttend (talk) 02:13, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. I speedy deleted it here as it was a copyright violation of the album cover. I provided a link to that same image on the speedy deletion template. Royalbroil 02:18, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Lake County Courthouse.jpg? It was nominated for deletion in May and has never been resolved; are such debates generally relisted as at en:AFD? Nyttend (talk) 23:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Many deletion requests from May are not resolved! There is no relist like en.wiki. I haven't close a deletion debate here or on en.wiki and I wouldn't feel comfortable except if the outcome was obvious. The culture here is a bit different, there is a greater good faith assumption that if the uploader may have been the same person then it's more likely that the image gets kept. I've left a message on the flickr image. Royalbroil 12:35, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! Not sure how to do it, but perhaps we could suggest that a relisting procedure be developed here? I'm confident that relisting is better than simply having the request in limbo for months. Nyttend (talk) 14:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Lake County Courthouse photo

Hello Royalbroil, I have changed the license on my Flickr photo page of the Lake County Courthouse. I hope I used the correct license, if not please let me know. I am sorry for all the confusion regarding this photo. Thank you.--Pdepalma (talk) 13:47, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Christmas trees, real or artificial

Hi Royal - always possible I got the odd one wrong either way. That one does look artificial to me, but the image quality isn't good enough to be 100% certain. If you're sure it isn't, by all means move it back. I mainly did the split to reduce the number of files in the badly over-filled Category:Christmas trees. - MPF (talk) 10:17, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate files

Could you look at File:Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church (Milwaukee).jpg and File:Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church.jpg? Nyttend (talk) 16:02, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I deleted per {{Duplicate}}. Royalbroil 22:43, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Repeated copyright violations

Dwayneflanders (talk · contributions) has repeatedly uploaded images that are copyright violations. At his en talk page others have tried to explain copyright. However, he recently uploaded a few more images:

• File:Cc8 welcome1.gif, copyvio photoshopped from http://www.bookladymel.com/thistleConstruction%20Cuties/GIF%20Files/cc8_welcome1.gif
• File:Sf7 welcome1.gif, copyvio from http://jp060.k12.sd.us/sf7_welcome1.gif
• File:Rk8 boy12.gif, copyvio from http://eprairie.k12.mo.us/images/rk8_boy12_000.gif
• File:Sf7 divider4.gif, copyvio from http://www.branson.k12.mo.us/school_links/elementary/SHEETS/2ndgrade/images/sf7_divider4.gif
• He's also uploaded File:Cf9 divider4.gif and File:Divider1.gif, and I wouldn't be surprised if those were also lifted, but I can't find them online

The user has been given a warning on both Commons and En saying he could be blocked for continued copyright violations. So what's the next step? (Intentionally haven't tagged the above as copyvios so I can still see them for a bit, but feel free to delete) Shubinator (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the block. Hopefully he'll get the idea. I'll tag the above as copyvios (oh, and I found the source of File:Divider1.gif: http://mrsjohnsonsroom.com/divider1.bmp). Shubinator (talk) 02:24, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see you're deleting them. Thank you! Shubinator (talk) 02:26, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

You might want to see User talk:Dwayneflanders, he's requesting to be unblocked. Good time for a chat on copyright. Shubinator (talk) 05:26, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] en:Forest Home Cemetery

Hi, I have seen you have a tusc account. How about to transfer the rest of the pics from there to commons? For example en:File:Joseph Schlitz.jpg + Category:Joseph Schlitz + Category:Forest Home Cemetery. I can give a help to categorize them. Regards Mutter Erde 92.226.255.176 14:50, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

 Done. Royalbroil 13:09, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done All categorized. Thanks. Mutter Erde 78.55.8.38 11:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion request

I moved an image file from German Wikipedia to Commons and ended up making a mistake by moving it twice with slightly different names. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to mark the redundant file in Commons with a speedy deletion request, although I've succeeded in doing this in the past. (Sigh! Guess I'm just one of those "cyber-challenged" Wikipedians.) Would you please help out by deleting this file: <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Datei-DanielChodowieckiFamilie.jpg> The keeper is this one: <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:DanielChodowieckiFamilie.jpg> Thanks! Jdsteakley (talk) 14:45, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done That's a good way to get it done. Happy to help! Royalbroil 00:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Permission to use photo?

Hi Royalbroil, I would like to ask for permission to use your picture, File:LarryTheLogrollerWabenoWisconsinWIS32.jpg, in an article I am writing for the bi-annual publication for the local WI non-profit organization that I work for. I could not figure out how to email you so I am posting my question here. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you. ~ MsBrieCheese

Sure, be my guest! I love that picture and have fond memories of that trip through Wabeno. If you have room to attribute me, please attribute as "royalbroil". Royalbroil 01:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! Thank you so much!
