Protection File:Wikiquote-logo-15000.png

Hello. You should protect this file until December 30, for the same reason given above. Meanwhile it is not protected, for which it was removed as a logo. Will be used again like it.wikiquote logo as soon as will be protected. Sincerely Raoli ✉ (talk) 13:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Raoli, I have indef protected it. Hope that helps. russavia (talk) 14:03, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Names for uploads..

Hi, I'm adressing you as a "bureaucrat", as noted next to your username in the Admins' list - I'm not sure about the accurate meaning of that title though.. I'm experiencing an unpredictable difficulty and would appreciate if you put an end to it very simply. 4 days ago I published five move-requests for images I had uploaded long time ago - with the stated rationale of fixing spaces, capitalizations, script etc.. - while of course expecting that the mover-on-duty take these tasks as simple as they should be taken and plainly move the files to the specified new names, as follows:

• From File:Centralhfa.jpg to File:Central HFA.jpg
• From File:Ha'AtzmautSt.jpg to File:Ha'Atzma'ut Street.jpg
• From File:Ha'AtzmautSt 02.jpg to File:Ha'Atzma'ut Street_02.jpg
• From File:PalyamAve.jpg to File:Palyam Avenue.jpg
• From File:951-core.jpg to File:951 Group.jpg

The first one of the five was moved successfully – but the rest were all undertaken by another person who retitled those 4 files in a fashion that had nil to do with the requested names in the tags... Naturally I have sensitivity to this. So first I posted a nice, trivial request on the former mover's wall, so they can fix the thing quickly. But, I was surprised to find out I was irrespected . I then moved a step forth and texted 3 different admins with the same idea, adding the above list so these four images could be re-renamed hassle-free, but, I realized that the two who replied to me trended to rather develop a discussion instead of just perform the moves with all simplicity & overturn the harm that's done, as a obvious careful regard to me as the uploader. I have little interest in trying to understand the reason for that chain of operative functionaries' behaviour, but would honestly like to simply get those 4 files named with the names that I as their dedicated contributor have chosen for them.

I'm sure you'd not wait before just fixing this one with your tools so that I become a happy editor as before. Thanx. Orrlingtalk 06:24, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Orrling, thanks for the message. Being a bureaucrat doesn't give me anymore authority on such matters than anyone else with the admin tools or file mover permissions. I see that you haven't approached User:Jacklee who is the person you should be discussing this as a first step. Could you please do that first before seeking outside intervention on such things. Thanks. russavia (talk) 11:44, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

No, no. I avoid it. Hope you won't ill-judge me but I know with deep, genuine recognition that someone who can possibly approach file-naming in the way that-one user treated my works not to mention the actual organizational act of patently expressing such a tremendous disregard as a filemover to uploaders' simple requests won't be accessible to such themes that have to do with casual human nuances. I was thinking actually that as a bureaucrat you could see at least why the other tool-holders all refrained from performing my explicit polite repair request ,, But these four files, as an end-task, do need to be switched to the names that I specified for them.

Please do something so the thing can be attended to my humble satisfaction. Thanx very much. Orrlingtalk 17:16, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have asked you to politely discuss this with the file mover in question. Please do that as a first step as outlined at Commons:Dispute resolution. russavia (talk) 18:42, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. This isn't possible. I had throughout 3 years requested several file-renames, and in a 100% of these cases the files simply were renamed as I'd wanted. (Possible hint: 100% of the filemovers have trust in me) The case now is anomalous for me, the gap between my simple act of legitimately tagging the files with plain corrected names and the result is shocking, and I can't approach a filemover-rights holder that is treating filemove requests in such a remarkable way which has no words other than attending the requests on one hand and abusing them on the other. Kindly do neglect political formalistics for this sensitive moment and help this out. This is about four of my contributed images that now bear "names" that can't be lived with.

Revision deletion

Hello, I see you're an admin and you're online right now. May I ask you a favor? User:Sunshi79 has uploaded these five files, but unwillingly revealed her real name in the EXIF data. The current versions have corrected EXIF data without her name, but she would like to have the old versions deleted. See User talk:Sunshi79#Did you take the photos? and User talk:Robert Weemeyer#Closed deletion requests, but old versions?. I would be very happy if you could help. -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 16:41, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 Done and advised. russavia (talk) 17:03, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much! -- Robert Weemeyer (talk) 17:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Polandball

I translated it into Bosnian move to someone more experienced.

I've heard of a Polish ball, can you explain to me what it is? what should be an administrator and a bureaucrat in the Commons?

Mass deletion requests on tattoos

Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point! Generall questions (as the freedom of pictures of tattoos) shouldn't be solved by arbitrary deletion requests. Please stop this immediately! --Stepro (talk) 21:35, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Excuse me, please do not come to my talk page and in a most non-mellow accuse me of disruption. I am an admin and crat on this project, and I am well-versed in our policies. Refer to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Guilty of being delicious.jpg, which was DR'ed by myself on the same basis. Please retract your accusations of disruption. Thanks. russavia (talk) 21:42, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I do apologize for the wording, but not for the content. (The German version is much more "mellow", there it's "please do not disturb" instead of "do not disrupt".)

In my opinion there should be a general discussion about the handling the tattoo pictures, and not many single deletion requests. YMMV. --Stepro (talk) 21:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

File:Johnny Depp tattoo.jpg

»the uploader claims to be the designer« and Source={{own}}.

So what a permission else do you want to have? All necessary permissions are given. There was a regular deletion request with decision kept. All seems to be clear, beside your edit which I really don't understand. --Stepro (talk) 21:46, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

The image in question was originally published at this link. This is covered at Commons:OTRS#Licensing_images:_when_do_I_contact_OTRS.3F under "I am the copyright owner but my picture has been previously published." Apart from the spammy userpage there is no evidence that the copyright holder has given permission or agreed to licence these for Commons. In relation to the Sparrow tattoo, this image has a PD template. File:Barbossa-tattoo-web.jpg is under a Free Art licence. It is best to err on the side of caution when images have been published elsewhere, and have permission verified by OTRS -- something I know all too well about in having obtained hundreds of permissions for photos in the past myself. russavia (talk) 21:59, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I beg to differ in a strong way. The uploader is the author, like at thousends of other pictures. I see no reason to doubt about it. But our different kinds of view cannot be solved here, I guess. So let's see what will happen. --Stepro (talk) 21:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Transcription request for Wikinews

Can you transcribe any of these today and submit them to Wikinews like the following article:

Submit like n:Wikinews interviews Michael Hartung, the Australian Deputy Chef de Mission? We are running out of time to get these on Wikinews and I'd really, really like to get this done to help promote Paralympic sport in these countries. --LauraHale (talk) 09:29, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Escudodemoclingranada.png

(En español/In Spanish)
Buenas tardes, Russavia. Te escribo para solicitarte que restaures la imagen "Escudodemoclingranada.png". El motivo por el que se borró fue un error. En absoluto violó ningún derecho de autor (Copyright violation); la web www.redjaen.es usó la imagen que aparece en Commons y Wikipedia, y no al revés. Esa web también usa otros escudos de Commons en páginas de otros municipios. Te ruego que devuelvas la imagen. Muchas gracias. Un saludo.

(En inglés/In English)
Good evening, Russavia. I write to you to request you that you restore the image "Escudodemoclingranada.png". The motive for the one that resigned was a mistake. By no means it violated no copyright; the web www.redjaen.es used the image that appears in Commons and Wikipedia, and not upside-down. This web also uses other Commons's coats in pages of other municipalities. I ask you to return the image. Thank you very much. A greeting. 81.34.97.193 10:34, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

More copyright violations

Hello again, Russavia. This time I bring you more copyright violation issues. I found User:Carlosjavierravelo to be uploading copyrighted images belonging to others. More specifically, I have identified so far the following images to have been uploaded as if they were taken by the user himself (the source for each image is in parenthesis).

• File:Cubana cut1227.jpg (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cubana/Tupolev-Tu-154B-2/1601808/L/)
• File:Cubana cut1281.jpg (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cubana/Ilyushin-Il-62M/1834765/L/)
• File:Aeroflot CCCP-86614.jpg (http://www.airliners.net/photo/Aeroflot/Ilyushin-Il-62M/0811123/L/)

For the same reasons, I suppose the following image is also a copyright violation, yet I did not find the original source for it at Airliners.net.

• File:Cut1281Orly Airport.JPG
