Category:Uncategorized pages

Please have a look there - two of those sites are yours. Thanks, --4028mdk09 (talk) 14:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea why .js pages in my userspace should appear in that category - can't really see why it should be much a problem though. Best regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 17:20, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:DerekHillTory.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:DerekHillTory.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

This is a file transferred from enwiki, since deleted there per {NowCommons}. You'll need to adress concerns with en:User:Brendandh, the original uploader. Best regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 20:54, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

It's absurd. The painting is said to be by en:Derek Hill (painter), who died in 2000, so there is little chance of this being free use. I probably should have just tagged it as a copyright violation. —innotata 14:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

If there was no other info on the original upload, you're most likely right, and it was careless of me to transfer this file without checking the license better. But again, I know nothing about it - concerns need to be addressed to the original uploader at enwiki. Finn Rindahl (talk) 14:31, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I checked and there is no further info on enwiki. Only the original uploader knows if there is a permission. Tagging as a copyvio is only needed if you think that uploader does not know about copyright or is getting close to a block. I think this is just a single mistake so there is no need to block or warn Finn :-) --MGA73 (talk) 15:19, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I left a note now on enwiki. --MGA73 (talk) 15:27, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Michael! Finn Rindahl (talk) 16:25, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Bildet av Trænstaven

Bildet er tatt på den søndre moloen på Sanna, ikke på Husøya. Jeg forsøkte å redigere, men endringene er borte igjen nå knapt tolv timer etter.

Mvh Morten Olaisen

Jeg er ikke sikker på hvilket bilde du mener, på dette bildet File:Traenstaven.jpg er det rettet. Mvh Finn Rindahl (talk) 15:57, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Admin for CLindberg

I've raised this question again -- care to comment? User_talk:Clindberg#Admin Question, again      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:52, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi JIm, long time no see :) I haven't been around Commons in ages, and it's even longer since I did anything really useful here. If things haven't changed that much, CLindberg would still be a most useful addition to the group of admins, even if he will not be working backlogs and the like. But since I'm really not an active member here (probably don't even have the right to vote in a RfA anymore) I'm just writing this response here and leave to those of you doing the good work here these days to try to talk Clindberg into this ;) Best regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 18:08, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. Hope to see you back here sometime.      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 18:17, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Masseopplasting av bilder fra Palestina med mulig NC-merking

Hei Finn, kom over en massehenting av bilder fra Flickr som utføres av Russavia. Det ser ut til at de alle har følgende kommentar i beskrivningen (har hentet ut en liten del):

Therefore, anyone can republish this photo anywhere else in the Internet or any other publication in accordance to the legal copyright status of the photo. This photo has been published exclusively for non-commercial didactical and historical purposes to illustrate the inalienable Right of Return of the Palestinians to their 1948 lands and homes in Palestine.

Dette føles merkelig - kan du se over? Noorse (talk) 21:26, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Jeg har lagt en kommentar på brukerens diskusjonsside. Brukeren er, i motsetning til meg, aktiv admin her, så jeg vil i grunn håpe og tro at hyn er mer oppdatert på reglene for flickr-upload enn jeg er :) Finn Rindahl (talk) 11:18, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Derivatives from Flickr

You can let flickr review tag the cropped image as 'no source' in about 1 hour or less and later type in the original uncropped image for the image source for the cropped image and remove the flickr no source tag...as you did. Its a bit of a nuisance but everyone can see where the image comes from and no one will question the cropped image's copyright if the uncropped image passed flickr review. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:24, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Well, I didn't remove the flickr no source tag, but I'll do so now. Thanks, Finn Rindahl (talk) 20:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

• Sure. No problem. The flickr bot is a bot that just tries to match the uploaded image to the image from the flickr source. If its not a perfect match, it says 'source not found.' Its not smart like a human being unfortunately--as in you or I. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:35, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
• Admin Lymantria posted another solution Here to avoid the 'no source' problem. I have never tried this way but you can try it with one image and see if the flickr bot tags your cropped image with 'no source' or avoids tagging it altogether. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:23, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Editor @ ar.wiki

Hello. I would like to inform you that I have granted you editor flag at the Arabic Wikipedia, all your edits there will be automatically marked as patrolled. Best regards.--Avocato (talk) 07:07, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. As I'm no longer working with crosswiki link spam I'll most likely not edit arwiki again, but thanks anyway :) Finn Rindahl (talk) 12:38, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
