SD G4[edit]

I guess File:Cyrus the Great II.jpg and File:(Persia) Ciro el Grande.jpg are identical to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Cyrus portrait.jpg and/or Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Cyrus portrait.jpg. Hanooz 17:49, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Half done Deleted the March 19, 2023 revision of File:Cyrus_the_Great_II.jpg per G4. The others were not identical to the linked DRs. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Aren't they variations of the deleted files? I'd appreciate it if you could temporarily undelete File:Cyrus portrait.jpg. Hanooz 17:54, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/03/Category:Marxist–Leninist Party of Germany[edit]

I had asked about week ago if some other administrator could please take over trying to moderate this discussion; I don't think anyone followed up, and I now see that request has been archived. As I remarked, while I am still neutral on the outcome, I have ceased to be able to be neutral on the personalities. I don't think my further participation would be helpful. I looked in today and it looks to me like it has now headed into at least on personal attack. Jmabel ! talk 01:26, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As I already wrote on the page, this problem needs a proposal to discuss all party categories at once. GPSLeo (talk) 16:20, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It sounds like you need a proposal to rewrite the general English language emphasis but we can go up to political parties or Germany political parties if that helps. In either case, those categories aren't included in this discussion itself. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:59, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Assistenza per la pubblicazione di una nuova pagina[edit]

Salve, mi sono appena iscritto e non so come pubblicare una nuova pagina per la mia opera lirica. Grazie D'Alessandro 18eighteenstudio (talk) 18:06, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Overwritten file[edit]

It looks like someone tried to overwrite File:Takanohana.jpg in January 2021 with a completely differnt photo of the subject. I've got no idea about the provenance of the problem version so can't say whether a split is warranted. Would an admin mind looking at this and deleting the old version if needed? For reference, the uploader of the problem version also seems to have uploaded File:Taka02.jpg around roughly the same time, and that file was subsequently deleted as a copyvio. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:59, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. No split is needed. I deleted the version as copyvio. Taivo (talk) 07:04, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you Taivo. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:51, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hide intermediary uploads[edit]

Thanks! Cryptic-waveform (talk) 12:33, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Eva Avila in 2022.jpg[edit]

Per the deletion request (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Eva Avila in 2022.jpg), this file should have location information removed. I already uploaded a new version of the file without the info in Exif data. Now the original file needs to be hidden, and all revisions prior to https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Eva_Avila_in_2022.jpg&oldid=733591120 need to be hidden as well. Thanks! Cryptic-waveform (talk) 16:02, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. --Túrelio (talk) 16:35, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files uploaded by Masterstrock1[edit]

Could someone take the time to delete files uploaded by Masterstrock1 and potentially take any other appropriate action? It seems fairly obvious that all of their remaining uploads are copyvios, and many of their uploads have been deleted in the past. --Veikk0.ma (talk) 06:03, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. I warned the user and deleted all his/her uploads as different kind of copyvios. Taivo (talk) 07:49, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

slight error in English in photo caption[edit]

On the page https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Potd/2023-03-27_(en)&action=edit (and perhaps elsewhere), the text:

 under a microscopes

should be edited to:

 under a microscope

so that it does not result in a plural noun with a singular article ('a') Seauton (talk) 22:15, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. --Achim55 (talk) 08:24, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Files uploaded by Olga Voinova[edit]

Please review what do with recent uploads by Olga Voinova. --Geohakkeri (talk) 22:35, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I deleted a lot of files due to copyright violation. They were used in an article, which is nominated for deletion. If the article will be kept, then license of all other files must be reviewed (some of them are ineligible for copyright, some are copyrighted). Taivo (talk) 07:22, 28 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
