Hello,

My request is about the category "Category:Dina Bélanger" .

I have imported 1 file yesterday, and 6 today, but now, when I click on "Wiki Commons" in the Dina Bélanger articles of the French and English wiki, only one file is displayed ( this one: File:Dina Bélanger (1897-1929) en 1922.pdf: Revision history) but not the others (for example this one: File:Dina Bélanger (1897-1929) en 1917.jpg: Revision history ).

What should I do to fix this and what is the problem? Have I made a mistake? Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance for your kind help. Contributeur2019 (talk) 13:46, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

I have no idea. Commons:Help desk might be a more suitable place than my talk page to ask this question. I do notice that the files in Category:Dina Bélanger have questionable copyright tagging. How can it be both PD-old & CC0 with an unknown author? Multichill (talk) 14:54, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
Tks for your reply. No need to contact C:HD as now all seems to be ok. Concerning copyright tagging you're right, no need of CCO. I will correct. Tks again and sorry for disturbing. Contributeur2019 (talk) 10:12, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Upload request

Hello Multichill. As you operate GeographBot, will you have time to make it upload the John Spence Community High School image from https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4043149 (CC BY-SA 2.0) ? This is to illustrate the article. --Oroborvs (talk) 13:27, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

@Oroborvs: the bot will eventually upload that image, but that might take a while. You might want to try https://geograph2commons.toolforge.org/ if you don't want to wait. Multichill (talk) 13:57, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
I just used this toolforge which gave me all the information but seems to take a while to upload. So I will upload it myself. Thank you for the link. --Oroborvs (talk) 14:38, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Skip problematic files

hi! might it be a good idea if your bot would skip files like File:Sultan Baba.jpg that are tagged with any delete/SD/nsd/npd... templates? RZuo (talk) 06:38, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

@RZuo: I recall looking into that, but deletion requests sometimes take forever. The bot ends up running over the same file multiple times a day for as long as the deletion request is open. It's easier to just process it. Multichill (talk) 20:34, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Geograph from structured data

Hi Multichill, I need some help please. Can you tell me why I cannot edit an image with {{Geograph from structured data}} on it. For instance, I cropped File:Araf-Slow on the B4302 - geograph.org.uk - 2395618.jpg to File:Araf-Slow on the B4302 - geograph.org.uk - 2395618 (cropped).jpg, but I cannot add a description etc etc. Thank you. SethWhales talk 08:55, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

@Seth Whales: Look at the structured data tab on each file. Here you can edit it. I'm currently not aware of an easy way to copy over all data from one file to another. Multichill (talk) 20:32, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

to-be-deleted files from Beeldcollectie van het Historisch Archief Haarlemmermeer te Hoofddorp

Hi Multichill, only as a reassurance before I start deleting, with the approx. 1600 files you marked for quick deletion, such as File:12 foto's van de ouderenwoningen De Beemsterborg aan de Beemsterstraat in Hoofddorp, Inventarisnummer NL-HlmNHA Hmr 03134.JPG, the deletion is uncontroversial? --Túrelio (talk) 12:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

@Túrelio: let's double check if user:Vysotsky agrees. Multichill (talk) 20:13, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
I checked 15 files, such as this one. All licenses of the images in the Beeldcollectie van het Historisch Archief Haarlemmermeer te Hoofddorp were changed at the archive since the uploads by User:Mr.Nostalgic to Commons. So I won't object against these speedy removals, except for one category (for one of these files I have sent a request to the archive a week or so ago): the municipal maps, such as this one. I expect the Municipality of Hoofddorp owns copyright of these maps, but I am not sure yet. Do you want me to challenge these 54 speedies seperately? Vysotsky (talk) 20:37, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
@Vysotsky: just rollback the bot edits on the files you think that can be saved. Bots don't have feelings and don't care about that. Multichill (talk) 20:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello Multichill, could you please have a look at the mentioned file. It shows a caution notice because of discrepancy in coordinates. I already corrected the coordinates in the description, but I don't know how to fix it properly so that the notice does not appear anymore. Thanks in advance. --Olga Ernst (talk) 09:18, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi again Multichill, I tried again and was successful ;-)) Regards --Olga Ernst (talk) 08:18, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Hundreds of wrong speedy deletion tags

Hi, Your bot tagged hundreds of old images with a speedy deletion tag (e.g. File:Loods Oude Spaarneweg, Inventarisnummer NL-HlmNHA Hmr 07033.JPG). This is not OK. Could you please revert that, and create a regular DR instead. Thanks, Yann (talk) 10:05, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

It's a bit more complicated, as the Noord-Hollands Archief changed the license last year, see this discussion. We were already working on it. No prob, I was planning to look at each file anyway. Vysotsky (talk) 21:03, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
@Yann: I'm afraid you made it worse. None of the files in Category:Beeldcollectie van het Historisch Archief Haarlemmermeer te Hoofddorp have a valid CC0 release as you can read on Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Beeldcollectie van het Historisch Archief Haarlemmermeer te Hoofddorp. So basically all files should be deleted as missing permission.
Every file was placed in Category:Historisch Archief Haarlemmermeer (license check) to be able to safe some of them. I just tagged the easy ones for speedy deletion so that no human has to check these all by hand. Because you removed the speedy deletion tag you broke this system. Multichill (talk) 14:50, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
The remaining 769 files in the Category:Historisch Archief Haarlemmermeer (license check) will be checked manually. Vysotsky (talk) 15:09, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
It doesn't make sense. If these files are admissible for speedy deletion, you can delete them right away instead of tagging them. If you tag them for SD but don't delete them, it means another admin has to check them if the tag is OK or not. Doing that for 700+ files is not really possible seeing the manpower and time available. If a review is needed, then a DR is the way to go. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:27, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
To give an example from this collection: why would we delete a rare photograph of a departure hall of an airport in 1934 if the license is OK? (I corrected the link & the license to match the source and added a category just a minute ago). All other ways of handling these files would cost more time without the possibility to keep hundreds of these files in Commons. Vysotsky (talk) 19:10, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Note that I don't oppose deletion, only the procedure. And strictly speaking, these are not obvious copyright violations, so not eligible for SD. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.

If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
