Request for template edit

Hello. Happy New Year!

Could you have a look at my request at Template talk:PD-US-patent#Removing the 1989 date content? I am asking an admin directly, because from what I can see (e.g. at Template talk:National Railway Museum permission) the wait can sometimes be months before such a request is processed.

Thanks in advance. Veverve (talk) 09:45, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Veverve: I won't act on this right away, to allow time for discussion/comments by others. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:55, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Could you process my request now? Veverve (talk) 07:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

I allow myself to sed you a reminder. Could you process my edit request at Template talk:PD-US-patent#Removing the 1989 date content?

I also add that it would be wise to also process the edit request at Template talk:National Railway Museum permission since it has had no opposition for months. Veverve (talk) 21:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Veverve: done both updates, except translations to Arabic and Chinese for PD-US-patent. Therefore, that request is still open. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:21, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks again for processing this.

1) Could you also process the proposal by Mikhail Ryazanov, still at Template talk:PD-US-patent#Removing the 1989 date content?

2) What about all the patents deleted from WCommons due to this template containing incorrect information for 10 years (e.g., Commons:Deletion requests/File:Keurig K-cup patent drawing.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Magpul Magazine Patent No20100212653A1.pdf, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fractal antenna patent.gif, Commons:Deletion requests/File:US5800311 Wrist exerciser.PNG, Commons:Deletion requests/File:FJ DUARTE POLARIZATION ROTATOR.jpg)? Veverve (talk) 20:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

@Veverve: Done #1. For #2, you'll need to go through COM:UNDEL. And don't forget to ask Arabic and Chinese speaking admins for the other translations. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 02:32, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Despite contacting two Arabic-speaking admins months ago (User talk:Dyolf77#Mettre à jour la version arabe d'un modèle, User talk:Tarawneh#Update the Arabic version of a template), none have updated the Arabic version of the template so far. Wat should I do then? Veverve (talk) 09:08, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Try User:Michel Bakni, who did the original version of Template:PD-US-patent/ar. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:44, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done The content is updated. Please ping me next time you need any translation to Arabic. Michel Bakni (talk) 14:26, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

@P199: I allow myself to send you a reminder to please close the edit request at Template talk:PD-US-patent#Removing the 1989 date content since it has now been treated, thanks. Veverve (talk) 13:01, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Re-nomination for deletion

Hello and a happy new year! :)

I originally submitted File:Krabbenbroetchen-01.jpg for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Krabbenbroetchen-01.jpg. At that point, the file was kept due to COM:INUSE.

AFAICT, that is no longer the case. Would you re-consider the file for deletion?

Thanks in advance. RudolfSchreier (talk) 09:41, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi RudolfSchreier, simply renominate it. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 09:57, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Bali Arts Market

At Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Bali Arts Market you summarized this as "deleted" but I see a few hours later that it's been kept. With its much-reduced content, now added parent categories, and with Category:Balama now redirecting here, I think that's actually fine, assuming that the remaining content there does not consist entirely of copyright violations. But if you are keeping it, then you probably want to revise your closing remark on the DR. - Jmabel ! talk 04:41, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Jmabel: No. The DR was about Files in Category:Bali Arts Market, not the category itself.

BTW, as for the duplication between categories Balama and Bali Arts Market, that was already resolved by others before I closed this DR. As for the remaining images in the category, they were not part of this DR. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

My apologies. I deal with a lot more CfDs than DRs, and got confused. - Jmabel ! talk 18:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Bahnhof alt, Tailfingen (1).jpg

Hi. You removed the Licensed PD template on the above file with the summary, "changed license (an exact photo/copy of a PD photo remains PD)."[1] However, the file is not an exact copy of a PD work. Similar to a frame of a painting, we see the wire binding at the top of the image and that the camera is angled slightly off from horizontal. There is a small amount of creativity here in the choice of shot. We could argue de minimis but why go to the effort when the uploader has already provided a license for the photographic element?

File:Springer_A73_with_her_younger_calf_Storm_A116_looking_well.jpg

Hi. For this file, you recently changed a category from British Columbia to Salish Sea. Knowing these orca populations, I submit this is going in the wrong direction. The photographed orcas are northern resident orcas (see Wikipedia article), which inhabit more northern British Columbia waters (where they were photographed), and rarely enter the Salish Sea, which is the territory of southern resident orcas. Thus the category Salish Sea is not so much a refinement, but rather restricts the orcas concerned to a marginal territory. Please revise or discuss this edit. Rebecca Beecham Gotzl (talk) 17:53, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

@Rebecca Beecham Gotzl: Thank you for that information. For now I changed the category to "Bodies of water in British Columbia". Please feel free to make corrections as necessary ("anyone can edit"). --P 1 9 9  ✉ 21:41, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Being inexperienced with Wikimedia Commons, I had not thought of the category “Bodies of water in British Columbia”, and had originally used the category “British Columbia”, which was discarded. I see your intervention above is a factual improvement, and I thank you for your attention to this discussion, which has been educative for me.

File:Imagejpg3 zps4ef5991c.jpg

I just noticed you very recently closed a DR about this image (the DR didn't check with the copyvio thing), and to my notice this appears the image is a clear copyright violation. The original appears to be posted some years before this was uploaded here. See this, and a closer view of the image this. I just thought before putting this to a new DR, I should seek your opinion. Best regards, ─ Aafī (talk) 19:37, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

@Aafi: Thanks for letting me know. The previous DR was only about the educational value or scope of the image. If you are certain about "clear copyright violation", it qualifies for speedy deletion, i.e. you don't have to go through a DR process and just delete it directly (since you are an admin). Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

@P199  Done, Much more to learn from experienced people like you. ─ Aafī (talk) 17:13, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bengal Nolen Gurer Sandesh -Kolkata.jpg

Just curious what led you to courtesy delete this one while you kept the other images from the same uploader (e.g., Commons:Deletion requests/File:Color Play-Performance.jpg‎)? Thanks. IronGargoyle (talk) 02:21, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

@IronGargoyle: It was a food image for which there are plenty of alternatives in Category:Gurer sandesh. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 02:25, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion request/File:2016 Demmitt Census Map.pdf

Just a question regarding your deletion based on Copyright infringement? According to Stats Canada: the use of data provided through Stats Canada is provided under a limited-open license. The biggest possible issue may be the inclusion of government-related symbols, but even in their own wording, it seems to be acceptable as long as the symbols aren't focused/explicitly highlighted instead of the data its being pulled from

Regarding the file, the only violation I can see, from your lack luster, broad stroke deletion based on copyright rules, is the use of government insignias. But as I interpret it, the appearance of them seem to be within the limited-open license and actually help to reference/link to where the map comes from. Not to mention, Im pretty sure the file page also included a link to the 2016 data set ChemicalBear (talk) 04:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@ChemicalBear: Thanks for bringing this to my attention. But you had added a PD-US template as license, which is why it was speedily deleted. I will reevaluate it. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:15, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Undeleted now, and correct license added ({{StatCanOpen}}). Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Concerning Commons:Deletion requests/File:President Joe Biden appears on Late Night With Seth Meyers alongside Amy Poehler.jpg

The file mentioned (File:P20240226AS-0657.jpg) did not redirect to the other but was renamed to a similar title (note the President in the title). Spinixster (talk) 03:20, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Kostya Holoborodov

Hi! I'm writing to ask about Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Kostya Holoborodov. I've contacted the uploader, and he can confirm he's he original author. What would be the best way to go about it since the files are already deleted? Should he send a confirmation before they are restored? Or can you restore the files & have him send the confirmation after that? Thanks. AntonProtsiuk (WMUA) (talk) 13:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @AntonProtsiuk (WMUA): best is to first provide permissions via COM:VRT, then request undeletion via COM:UNDEL. Regards, --P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:22, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Veem musician.jpg

Hi, please complete the request. TY. Drakosh (talk) 07:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
