Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 startet in Kurze
[edit]
Hallo Grand-Duc,
in Kurze ist es wieder soweit. Der nun schon traditionelle Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments wird im September zum vierten Mal stattfinden. In ahnlicher Form hatte unlangst der Wettbewerb "Wiki Loves Earth" eine erfolgreiche Premiere. Zu allen bisherigen vier Wettbewerben haben seit 2011 gut 3000 unterschiedliche Teilnehmer (User) ihren Beitrag geleistet. Du warst dabei, und bist auch herzlich eingeladen, am bevorstehenden WLM-Wettbewerb wieder dabei zu sein.
Allein in Deutschland wurden in den letzten drei Jahren im Rahmen von WLM rund 100.000 Fotos zu den insgesamt ca. 850.000 Kulturdenkmalen bundesweit hochgeladen. Jahrlich haben sich mehrere Hundert Wiki-Fotographen daran beteiligt. Auch im kommenden Denkmalmonat wird dies gewiss wieder der Fall sein. Der Tag des offenen Denkmals am 14. September bietet bundesweit vielfaltige Moglichkeiten, Denkmale nicht nur von aussen, sondern auch von innen zu fotografieren. Denkmallisten sind dabei ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt und zugleich auch Ziel der Einbindung der Fotos. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder neue Denkmallisten hinzugekommen, die hilfreich bei der Planung von individuellen oder Gruppen-Fototouren sind und auf eine Bebilderung warten, wie z.B. zu Gorlitz oder Zittau. Unter den Landeshauptstadten fehlt nur noch Stuttgart. Aber auch hier ist Licht in Sicht.
In der Mitte Deutschlands hat die Denkmallandschaft der thuringischen Landeshauptstadt Erfurt nun das Licht der Wikipedia-Welt entdeckt. Mehr als 50 Tabellen enthalten 3.700 Denkmale. Allein die wunderschon restaurierte Altstadt umfasst 1.800 Denkmale. Eine von WMDE geforderte WLM-Fototour nach Erfurt am Wochenende vom 29. - 31. August ladt herzlich ein, diese einzigartige Kulturlandschaft zu dokumentieren. Mehr Informationen findest Du auf der Projektseite.
Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beitrage fur Wikimedia-Projekte.
Viel Spass beim grossten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia wunscht Dir das Orga-Team.
( Bernd Gross, 16. August 2014)
Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen
[edit]Hallo Grand-Duc,
nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum funften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeitrage von Dir.
Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlosser, sondern auch Fachwerkhauser, Brucken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden konnen. Nutzliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchfuhren oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschliessen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lucken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfullen.
Daruber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.
Viel Erfolg und Spass beim grossten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wunscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.
( Bernd Gross, 6. August 2015)
Hallo Grand-Duc,
zunachst mal bin ich uberrascht, dass Kommentare, die ich in der Ablage verstauben wahnte, doch noch zur Kenntnis genommen werden - ich hatte eher nicht damit gerechnet. Dass er nun geloscht wurde, ist auch aus meiner Sicht o.k., er war naturlich durch die Konnotation belastet, der dem Vergleich zugrunde liegende Akt der Unsichtbarmachung allerdings durchaus komparabel.
Ich habe eine grosse Loschaktion der Innenraumbilder der Wuppertaler "Schwimmoper" (Stadtbad) mitbekommen, wo jemand unter Bezug auf US-amerikanisches Recht ein "Blutbad" veranstaltet hat und nach einiger Zeit (wie in unserem Fall) ein US-amerikanischer Burokrat (dass es diesen Titel in der WP gibt, ist bezeichnend) dies exekutiert hat, ohne die Foto-Auswahl zu hinterfragen und ohne auf Ruckfragen konkret zu werden. Eklatantestes Beispiel: dieses Foto uberlebte: eines, das sich nur durch eine gerundete Wand davon unterschied, nicht. Nachvollziehbarkeit? Transparenz? Fehlanzeige! Wie beim staatlichen Verwaltungshandeln ist Eigensicherung die oberste Maxime. Lieber 100 regelkonforme Bilder zuviel geloscht, als dass ein irregulares durchrutscht.
Es geht also nicht um den Verzicht auf, sondern um das Mass des Loschens. Nach meiner Erfahrung entwickeln einige Leute, Du seiest hier ausgenommen, dabei einen fast messianischen Eifer. Das Ergebnis solcher Uberregulierung sehen wir in Deutschland mit zunehmender Deutlichkeit. (z.B. beim Gebaudeenergiegesetz).
Wie dem auch sei, Du hast jedenfalls das Wort "hier" in meinem Kommentar missverstanden. Es war nicht geographisch gemeint, also auf Deutschland bezogen, sondern projektbezogen, also auf Commons.
Gruss Im Fokus (talk) 17:24, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hallo Grand-Duc, ich habe gerade deinen Loschantrag Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:AI-generated portraits abgearbeitet und die Bilder geloscht, deiner Argumentation folgend, bis auf zwei, bei denen ich der Ansicht bin, dass wir aufgrund von COM:INUSE nicht umhin kommen, sie zu behalten, solange eine Wikipedia-Sprachversion findet, sie seien enzyklopadisch brauchbar. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass sich in Category:AI-generated portraits noch weitere Bilder befinden, die m.E. ebenso unbrauchbar aussehen, grosstenteils nirgends verwendet werden und sich zum Zeitpunkt deines Loschantrags bereits in dieser Kategorie befanden - die du aber nicht in deinen Loschantrag aufgenommen hast. Hattest du einen bestimmten Grund dafur? Findest du diese Bilder behaltbar? Gestumblindi (talk) 00:43, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Hallo Gestumblindi, ich hatte zunachst einfach die Dateien in den LA aufgenommen, bei welchen ich die starksten Argumente zur Loschung sah, namentlich die von Prominenten. Das heisst, bei "Erika Mustermanns" (bsp. File:Midjourney - A student.png oder bei Namen, bei denen ich nicht erkannt hatte, dass es sich um historische Personlichkeiten handelt (wie hier: File:Francisco Anon - foto IA.png, das Anon hatte ich als "Anonym" verstanden), hatte ich bewusst Abstand von einem Einschluss genommen. Das hat den Hintergedanken, dass mir kein vorheriger Commons-Konsens zur Handhabe solcher Dateien bekannt ist und dieser Loschantrag nunmehr als Prazedenzfall meiner Meinung nach die Umgangspraxis mit KI-Medien fortschreibt. Ich wollte vermeiden, dass ein allumfassender LA, beispielsweise auf den kompletten Kategorieninhalt, als ein grosser, disruptiver Schritt wahrgenommen und mit Ablehnung quittiert wird, denn solche grossen, disruptiven Schritte in technischen, sozialen oder wissenschaftlichen Entwicklungen stossen sehr oft auf starke Widerstande, soweit ich das geschichtlich uberblicke. Dass ich personlich ziemlich skeptisch gegenuber dem Nutzen des Hostings von KI-Ergussen hier bin, ergibt sich sicherlich aus meiner Wortmeldung in Commons:Village pump/Proposals#RfC: Should Commons ban AI-generated images?. Grusse, Grand-Duc (talk) 01:08, 13 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Danke fur die Erlauterungen. Wie ich es wahrgenommen habe, ist die Praxis auf Commons durchaus schon sehr strikt und ich habe mit meiner Loschentscheidung kein neues Territorium betreten. Es werden nicht alle Loschantrage kategorisiert, aber aktuell stehen 613 Eintragen in Category:AI-generation related deletion requests/deleted nur 73 Eintrage in Category:AI-generation related deletion requests/kept gegenuber. Prazedenzfalle, wenn man so will, gab es schon genugend. Mochtest du vielleicht einen Loschantrag auf die anderen Bilder in der Kategorie (aber im Sinne von COM:INUSE nur den nicht verwendeten, wurde ich empfehlen) stellen? Um nicht den Anschein von Befangenheit zu erwecken, wurde ich diesen dann aber nach der Diskussion, die wir hier fuhren, nicht abarbeiten sondern die Entscheidung einem anderen Admin uberlassen.

Closing of Iming's request on COM:LRR
[edit]Grand-Duc, Hope you're having a great day! I noticed that you closed Iming's request on COM:LRR. During my time at Commons, I've observed that it's generally not recommended for a user who is actively participating in a request for privileges to close the request themselves. I've made that mistake myself in the past (though mine was a bit more significant), and I wanted to gently remind you of this common practice.
While it may not be a major issue in this case, I thought it might be helpful to keep this in mind moving forward.
Thanks for your understanding!
Ich danke dir fur die Erganzungen in meinen Dateien, ABER andere nicht ohne triftigen Grund meine Dateinamen. Diese sind nach einem klaren Schema angelegt, welches du bei deinen Umbenennungen nicht beibehalten hast und das mochte ich nicht. Danke Lukas Beck (talk) 20:16, 9 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Die triftigen Grunde sind nach COM:FR festgeschrieben - die generischen IMG##-Zahlungen sind leider nicht als Nutzerschemata erkennbar. Da Du ja ganz offensichtlich selbst Dateien umbenennen kannst: darf ich dir vorschlagen, um solche Hakeleien zu vermeiden, selber vorhandene Arten-Identifizierungen bei deinen Aufnahmen von Natur einzufugen? Ich weiss nicht, ob ich solche Vorbehalte wie die deinigen, die wie hier an mich herangetragen werden, im Kopf behalten kann... Grusse, Grand-Duc (talk) 20:25, 9 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Tut mir leid, aber in den 6 dort genannten Grunden finde ich deine Anderungen nirgends wieder. Ich bin nicht dazu verpflichtet, jedes Bilddetail im Dateinamen zu benennen. Das du die Infos in der Beschreibung erganzt hast, finde ich ja wie gesagt gut. Gruss Lukas Beck (talk) 15:14, 10 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
- OK, in COM:FR steht das jetzt nicht direkt, aber in Commons:File naming#Naming conventions; siehe: "
[...]Content-based - Prioritize describing the subject matter over indicating its origin. Do not use names that solely consist of dates, the name of the photographer or rights holder, terms like "Flickr", "original", "crop", and/or catalogue numbers.
" das einzelne Efeu-Blatt zum Beispiel musste nach dieser Regel "Hedera Helix leaf" oder "Efeublatt" im Dateinamen beinhalten. Es ist das eindeutige Hauptmotiv. Grusse, Grand-Duc (talk) 16:57, 11 April 2025 (UTC)Reply- Das Dateien nicht nur Name des Fotografen und das Datum enthalten sollte ist klar. Daraus muss man aber nicht direkt schliessen, dass ich das Efeublatt in den Dateinamen hinzufugen muss. Bitte verstehe, dass man das machen kann....aber nicht muss. In meinem Dateinamen beziehe ich mich auf den Friedhof, wo das Bild aufgenommen wurde. Das reicht aus. Lukas Beck (talk) 17:14, 11 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Es reicht nicht wirklich aus, denn die Massgabe "Prioritize describing the subject matter over indicating its origin" ist nicht erfullt. Das Efeublatt als subject steht ja wohl kaum fur den gesamten Kirchhof; dieser ist klar und wie von dir gesagt nur die Ortsangabe der Aufnahme. Stelle dir mal bitte eine Liste mit Dateinamen vor, nur als Text - dass File:Berlin St. Philippus-Apostel-Kirchhof lub 2025-03-28 img02.jpg eine Abbildung eines Efeublatts ist und nicht eine Ansicht von einer Hofanlage ergibt sich nicht aus der Zeichenkette, welche derzeit als Dateinamen herhalt. Es ware aber wunschenswert, finde ich. Grusse, Grand-Duc (talk) 17:37, 11 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Ja findest du...Danke Lukas Beck (talk) 18:06, 11 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Sorry, sollte jetzt nicht gemein klingen, aber ich finde den Dateinamen wirklich ausreichend. Und wie gesagt, so wie du die Datei umbenannt hast, ging es nicht. Daher habe ich die Datei wieder zuruck umbenennen lassen. Lukas Beck (talk) 18:08, 11 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Just wanted to hear again - are you sure images like this from Wikimedia Youth Conference should be speedily deleted per F10? I am a bit confused and stand in between because some of the images are really not that good, while others have a value. signed, Aafi (talk) 04:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
- I admit it, Aafi, maybe the speedy request was not the smartest thing, yes. But I would still defend that these classical selfies do not add much to our collection (COM:SPAM), so at least a DR seems reasonable. Why I think that there's not much value in these images: there are only selfies from one participant in Category:WAP Volunteers at Youth Conference 2025, so they cannot very well be used to illustrate the community activity (it would be biased - where are other people?). I'm hard pressed to see the difference between them and vacation snapshots... Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 05:06, 2 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hello, I'm sorry but I don't think the name of my uploads violate COM:FN. I always use a template of "Where - What" and the camera automatic progressive number. I think this is enough to comply with all the policy requirements. All further details about the object depicted can be found in the page description and categorization. This template also have the pourpose to help me quickly find my pictures, that right now are around 15 000, preventing me to work on and upload the same shot twice. Thank you. --Phyrexian F 07:19, 4 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Hello Phyrexian, I disagree completely. Let's use the File:Berlin - Landwirtschaftliche Hochschule 6688.jpg as example. This is neither "what" (only "where") nor compliant with the Commons:File naming#Naming conventions. Your chosen file name name fails at:
- being content-based;
- being specific,
- being precise;
- being recognizable.
- Something better would be: Berlin - Landwirtschaftliche Hochschule - bust of Albrecht v Thaer.jpg" at the wall-mounted sculpture is definitively the main subject. A large amount of your QI (and I suspect, the most of your uploads) suffer from these naming faults. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 22:46, 4 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Hello. I've noticed that you've been recently going on a spree on targeting my latest uploads for some reason with the use of Facebook as a source being a main citation for deletion. You also seem to be more focused in adding in more templates than addressing the arguments I've presented in some of your earlier filings. I'd like to have a more thorough conversation here as it would be more productive for both our sakes rather than having to make the same point 50 times in various articles. SuperSkaterDude45 (talk) 04:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Nah, not a spree, just the result of my habit of checking uploads of people that I took notice of while reviewing the latest files. But please do not use my talk page, I'd rather have the talk at Commons:Village pump/Copyright#About User:SuperSkaterDude45 (a location you were informed of by ping, I surmise).

Hi, what's the point exactly in proposing pictures for deletion one by one? What you are pointing out is clearly an issue that has an impact on many categories: apart from Looney Tunes characters you are also questioning Moby's whale logo, which would make pretty much all pictures taken in Italy of items with a livery / visible logo eligible for deletion. Eustace Bagge (talk) 20:36, 15 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
- I'm not doing that "one by one". I went through the named ship categories, looked for eventually problematic images, and nominated them using VisualFileChange out of the category. And yes, due to the non-existent FOP in Italy, a lot of vehicle livery images may be problematic. To discuss this, the deletion requests are the way to proceed, as far as I'm aware.

Hi! :)
Bin den ganzen Tag schon auf der Suche nach Bildern von Kap, leider etwas erfolglos... Das eine habe ich bekommen, was ja schon super als Bild ausreichen wurde, leider ist die Person, die mir es gegeben hat, technisch nicht fit und wir haben eine Ewigkeit gebraucht, bis er mir diesen Text richtig geschickt hatte zur Erlaubnis... Er meldet sich nicht mehr wirklich bzw. war glaube ich uberfordert mit allem und die Leute von der Prufung wollen von ihm die Angabe, wer das Bild gemacht hat bzw. in wie fern er Urheber ist. Ich habe ihnen einen Auszug geschickt aus unserem Mailchat, auf der Website stehts auch, aber ich befurchte, dass das evtl. nicht durch kommt, weil er nur im CC war und diese A, B oder C Frage nicht er, sondern ich und seine Website beantwortet hat. Hast du da Erfahrungen, was man da machen kann? Ich war nie wirklich in Commons drin und versuche dem Mensch im Support (erfolglos) zu Erklaren, dass die Kommunikation extrem schwierig ist mit ihm. Aber er hat mir 3x beim Schreiben erlaubt, dass ich das Bild nehmen darf. Wenn das jetzt nicht durchkommt, ware das mega schade. Liebe Grusse KatastrophenKommando (talk) 21:27, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- @KatastrophenKommando, diese Fragestellung, die Kommunikation von Freigaben, und die Probleme beim Erklaren von Lizenzen sind bekannt. Deswegen sind Text-Vorlagen vorbereitet worden, um solche Anfragen zu vereinfachen:
- de:Wikipedia:Textvorlagen, Seite in der DE-WP;
- Commons:E-Mail-Vorlagen, selber Zweck, hier auf Commons. Bei Bedarf kannst Du uber die Navileiste oben auf andere Sprachen umschalten, die Vorlagen sind mehrfach ubersetzt.
- Was die konkrete Kommunikation angeht: ich bin nicht im VRT, deswegen kann ich dazu nichts sagen, tut mir Leid.
- Prinzipiell ist es bei jeder Anfrage wichtig, unbedingt die Erkundigung nach einer einfachen Erlaubnis "fur Wikipedia" zu vermeiden. Viele Leute sagen da zwar ja, aber schrecken vor den erforderlichen freien Lizenzen ab (meistens wegen der erforderlichen kommerziellen Nutzbarkeit). Die genannten Vorlagen konnen wahrscheinlich helfen; ich habe aber selber noch nicht um Freigaben angefragt, daher habe ich keine Erfahrungswerte. Grusse, Grand-Duc (talk) 21:41, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Die Person hat mir die "Einverstandniserklarung (Rechte-Inhaber)" gesendet, allerdings hat sie nicht a, b oder c ausgewahlt dabei. Und ja, ich habe ihr erklart, was das bedeutet (Namensnennung, kommerzielle Nutzung etc.) und sie meinte "Kein Problem". Jedoch wirds jetzt etwas chaotisch glaube ich mit dem VRT D: LG KatastrophenKommando (talk) 21:52, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Formal klingt das nach einem mindestens impliziten Einverstandnis. Das kann aber nur der VRT-Kollege entscheiden, es bleibt nur ein Abwarten. :-/ Grusse, Grand-Duc (talk) 22:06, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Okay, kurzes Update: Ich habe tatsachlich jemanden privat gefunden, der zwei Bilder hat. Er hat mir eben geschrieben, falls es moglich ist, soll ich es einfach bei meinem Account hochladen. Falls nicht anders moglich wurde er sich einen Account machen kurz, aber er hat nicht wirklich Lust. Ware das moglich, dass er mir die Rechte per Chatnachricht "ubergibt". Sind "nur" private Handyfotos. LG KatastrophenKommando (talk) 22:06, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Ich zitiere ihn: "Du kannst die Fotos einfach so als deine verwenden". Keine Ahnung, ob das geht? LG KatastrophenKommando (talk) 22:09, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Uff. Das kann eine Freigabe als CC-Zero sein, muss aber nicht... Besser ware es, wenn er dir die Fotos zusendet, zusammen mit einem Satz wie "Ubergabe aller Nutzungsrechte, insbesondere dem zur unbeschrankten Lizenzerteilung". Wenn er namentlich genannt werden mochte, dann sollte das prazisiert werden, wenn nicht, dann muss der Satz "Ubergabe aller Nutzungsrechte, insbesondere dem zur unbeschrankten Lizenzerteilung, ausserdem Verzicht auf Nennung als Autor" enthalten sein.
- Und naturlich: die klare Aussage, dass er der Fotoautor ist. Diese Mails kannst Du dann an VRT senden, zwecks Freigabearchivierung. Grusse, Grand-Duc (talk) 22:23, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
- Ich habe ihm jetzt, obwohl er glaube gar keine Lust hat, gebeten, ob er vielleicht gegen einen kleinen PayPal Betrag (mein Geldbeutel ist eh schon leer.. :D) das an das VRT schickt. Ists mir aber wert, nachdem ich wirklich den ganzen Tag gesucht habe... Falls er es nicht macht, versuche ich es mit dem CC-Zero! LG KatastrophenKommando (talk) 22:34, 17 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

- Sorry, I'm a bit lost here @Shaan Sengupta, I can't fathom what you meant. The message I left you is actually made for talk pages, as explained on COM:LRR: "If the request is successful, please leave this message

Hi, I need a help. While reviewing File:Mohua Moitra official portrait from Indian Parliament website.jpg, I found that this image comes from Indian Parliament website which requires prior email permission. Now when I click on license-, it takes me to editing area and asks me to Pick a license & I select All rights reserved and click ok. Nothing happens and I am back to as it was. Shaan SenguptaTalk 09:40, 19 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
- @Shaan Sengupta: When the LR software automatisms don't work as you need, use another tool. In that case, you may use "Nominate for speedy deletion" and write "LR failed, all rights reserved, COM:NETCOPYVIO from SOURCE" into the text field. That's at least the thing I do when I have to fail a check. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 17:23, 19 August 2025 (UTC) PS. And a small request of mine: whenever I'm touching a file, for license review or for moving, I'm also looking at a general policy compliance, especially COM:SCOPE. I spot out of scope candidates for deletion every now and then in those queues. Mind doing the same? :-)Reply
- Thank you so much. Both your points are well taken. I will definitely check scope from now on. Have a good day. Shaan SenguptaTalk 03:25, 20 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

That's the way to protect the project! All while blatant copyviol are kept for years. For sure, this is a peculiarly run project to say the least. Eustace Bagge (talk) 06:08, 23 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
- A way to protect the project? Yes, it is - by researching law material and building help texts. You cannot complain that the subject of COM:DM Italy wasn't worked upon in depth, the delete outcome is absolutely not unexpected. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 08:02, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
- No, "skim reading" and "google translating" complex law texts in a language you don't understand is not a proper way of working. Let alone extrapolating rules from such a shaky understanding.
- Bottom line is that for countries in which someone bothered to file a lawsuit in similar cases (such as France), the pictures are legit, for countries where none was soo foolhardy, the pictures must go.
- That's just so obtuse and frustrating. Eustace Bagge (talk) 08:48, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
- I don't know what you're understanding as "skim-reading", maybe that wasn't the best expression. I meant having used a reading technique of skimming on the Google-translated text, searching for terms and expressions similar to De minimis. Then, for any interesting parts, I fell back on the residual knowledge of my Italian courses back at school, combined with the French I speak, it allowed me to make a basic check on the original content. So, while I'm not a fluent speaker of Italian, I think that I'm able to grasp quite a lot of the content in written texts. Furthermore, I actively asked speakers of Italian here and on IT-WP for information, including yourself (see Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2025/07#Proposal to create a section COM:CRT/Italy#De minimis and shortcut COM:DM Italy and it:Wikipedia:Oracolo/Archivio/luglio 2025#Italian copyright law and De minimis), so I think that your notion of me working in an improper way is disproved.
- And yes... Imagine a piece of art, a sculpture or a mural, on one of the riversides of the Rhine, or maybe even better, a riverine cruise ship with an artistic livery. From the French side, you're not able to make a free depiction of it (COM:FOP France), but that's totally fine from the German side (COM:FOP Germany#Permanent). The whole copyright stuff is often obtuse, incoherent and thus frustrating, I understand you. (For me, the weird COM:TOYS, being in an area of tension with COM:UTIL - toys are IMHO inherently utilitarian, being used across lots of biological mammal families for life-saving entertainment and education, but apparently, US courts didn't care about biology - is another area of frustration. But our policies and guidelines are as they are...) Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 10:51, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
Can you correctly rename these files now blocked: File:Takuya Takahashi young.jpg as File:Takuya Takahashi (minister era).png, File:Takuya Takahashi sensei.png as File:Takuya Takahashi.png, File:Emperor Showa inspection.jpg as File:Emperor Showa's inspection tour (1942).jpg, File:Letzel 1913.png as File:Matsushima Park Hotel in 1913.png, File:Matsushima 1913.png as File:Matsushima Park Hotel (1913).jpg, Category:Yo Takai as Category:Yo Takai, File:Kokichi Otake group.jpg as File:Kazue Tomimoto's group.jpg, File:Saneatsu Mushanokoji 3.jpg as File:Saneatsu Mushanokoji in 1918.jpg.

- @Geoffroi, @Taivo: the IP user wasn't IMHO wrong with his renaming requests but rather you in declining them. The first one, File:Kawaji toshiyoshi.jpg, was likely not concise enough (cf. Category:Kawaji Toshiyoshi and File:Kawaji Toshiyoshi.jpg), the case for COM:FR#FR2 is a strong one (I moved the file). The situation for File:Mushanokoji and his daughter.jpg looks similar. There's en:Saneatsu Mushanokoji, the man shown in the image, and also his elder brother en:Kintomo Mushanokoji. Thus, a precision in naming, as the IP user asked for with their suggestion, is also warranted.

- Comment: The rationale behind these moves is cosmetic and unnecessary. Changing "brothers" to "siblings" is not a valid reason for a move. Adding an accent mark is a questionable reason. These files have a description field for a reason. The file name doesn't have to have every detail in it. I disagree with the above moves, but I'll leave requests like this to other filemovers in future. Geoffroi 19:12, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

- I agree that some move requests were cosmetic and not sensible, like the notion of moving File:Takuya Takahashi sensei.png to File:Portrait of Takuya Takahashi.png. en:Sensei actually carries more meaning than "portrait", hence I didn't move that file. But ideas like moving File:Hitler and Viscount Mushanokoji.jpg were good, as there are several notable individuals with that surname, Mushanokoji. Furthermore, the letter o doesn't carry an accent, that's a en:macron (diacritic) used in the en:Hepburn romanization of long vowels in Japanese. Switching from something akin to en:wapuro romaji to Hepburn is a borderline case for renaming, IMHO, I think that I'd not follow such requests, but if there's a good reason to rename anyway, then using Hepburn is good. The LTA guy is apparently serving us a hodgepodge of good and bad ideas, I will exert diligence for these requests, only working on those where I can endorse a sound rationale.

You told a user, "please do not confound Wikimedia Commons... with a Wikipedia edition". Technically correct, but almost certainly not the connotation you want. "Confuse" would be much better here than "confound." The latter tends to suggest bad intent on the part of the person mixing the two concepts. - Jmabel ! talk 04:03, 29 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

"The titling as "Pokemon Jet" alone is sufficient to discard the DM notion"
[edit]What is stopping people from simply uploading the photos without putting Pokemon Jet in the title? Trade (talk) 02:40, 6 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
- My title argument was only a secondary one, to drive home the point of "De minimis is not applicable." In fact, there are some Pokemon Jet images which are titled e.g. with the immatriculation of the respective plane, not referencing Pokemon in the file name. So, even if uploaders do use another name, it won't matter much. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 17:07, 6 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Information on temporary account IP viewer rights
[edit]Hello Grand-Duc,
On November 12, temporary accounts will be enabled on Commons. The IP of unregistered users will then be hidden for most users. You, as a patroller or license reviewer, are eligible to request the new temporary account IP viewer right, if you need it to continue fighting vandalism and abuse on Commons. If you want to request the right, please file the request here. Please be aware that you also have to accept the Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy in your preferences. For more information about temporary accounts, look at the project page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:34, 7 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Temporary account IP viewer granted
[edit]l`rby@ English kyrgyzcha russkii +/-
Hello, Grand-Duc. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Commons:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:
- You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
- Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).
It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:
- When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
- Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
- Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).
Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! -- regards, Revi 05:09, 9 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Guten Tag, Grand-Duc! Ich habe Ihre Frage uber die Nutzung von KI-Bilder in Ru-WP gesehen und wurde Ihnen gern direkt hier antworten. Die KI-Bilder gehoren zum breiteren Bereich der selbstgemachte Bilder. Es gab in Ru-WP einige Diskussionen daruber, und meistens meinen die Benutzer, dass die Verwendung von Bilder ausser Fotos nur dann akzeptabel ist, wenn es von beruhmten Kunstler stammt, oder in zuverlassige Publikationen veroffentlicht wurde. In alle andere Falle tragt das Bild keine enzyclopadische Informationen und ist zu vermeiden. Viele Grusse, Rijikk (talk) 08:45, 22 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
