Request for rights[edit]

Hiya MS, A quick request - can you pls add rollback rights to my account per Commons:Rollback? A vandal (User:PrakashAdhikari) has just tagged all my uploads from the last ~7 years as copyvio (retaliatory tagging), they are some 50 or 60 files – I'd love to speed up the revert process. Thanks, — kashmīrī 18:34, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Block of user?[edit]

Hi! Could you have a look at User_talk:ほくなん#File:Ginga_fall.jpg? It says that the user have been blocked but I don't see that user is blocked and the user have no edits since 2010 so there is no reason to block. --MGA73 (talk) 10:50, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Fixed, thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 11:27, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Nguyễn Khánh[edit]

Dear Materialscientist, You said "no, it was extracted from the Anefo image". Zuid Vietnamese commandant Khank (kop), Bestanddeelnr 916-7642.jpg is the same Anefo image, from the original source at Nationaal Archief. Vysotsky (talk) 20:16, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

This is a matter of timing - I've done most of my uploads and crop of Anefo images around 2014, years before the mass uploads by Mr.Nostalgic. Most often I also cleaned up the Anefo images. What happened next was this: editors started substituting my uploads with Mr.Nostalgic's ones and delete mine. Don't take me wrong, I have great respect to Mr.Nostalgic and his work, but those blind substitutions and deletions were out of line. Materialscientist (talk) 07:53, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear Materialscientist, I have never blindly substituted uploads by others with uploads by Mr.Nostalgic. I do have replaced dozens of Anefo images by versions in higher resolution, and there are still dozens of now lowres Anefo images in Commons that would benefit from a replacement by a version in higher resolution (preferably identically cropped), see e.g. File:Prince_Friso_1986.jpg (105 kB) and File:Foto uurtje Koninklijke Familie op Huis ten Bosch Prins Johan Friso, Bestanddeelnr 253-8986.jpg (1.07 MB). Don't worry: this will not be one of my new projects. Vysotsky (talk) 00:26, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

File:Nehha Pendse Bayas.jpg[edit]

Please understand. the actress herself wanted the recent picture — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweetie0987 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Sweetie0987, that the actress wants the recent picture is irrelevant here. The issue is that all images on Commons must be explicitly released under a free licence, which includes allowing commercial use. There is no evidence on the source page (which is not the same photo) that that is the case. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:40, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry I made the edits[edit]

Hi, I would just like to say I'm incredibly sorry for what I did.
