Tag small ones with Template:Duplicate than move large ones? I guess that somebody empties Category:Duplicate Wikipedia files using some kind of tool (at least it happens this way on Commons) Bulwersator ( talk) 14:49, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Your bot added a CCI template to File:DenizliHorozu.gif. Isn't it pointless to add CCI templates to unfree files? The CCI template is normally supposed to tell that a free file might have a falsified source or licence, but if the image already is listed as unfree, there is not really anything to do. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 21:46, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
According to non-free content review, this image fails NFCC. Shall I tag it with "di-disputed fair use"? -- George Ho ( talk) 23:14, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Can you help me with some deleted files, that might not actually be copyright violations? I've already asked and twice reminded the admin who deleted them, Future Perfect at Sunrise ( talk · contribs), without a response on these. They are File:Lord Hill Minister.jpg and File:Nick Gibb Minister.jpg (which may be exactly the same as File:Lord Hill 2.jpg and File:Nick Gibb 2.jpg) as well as File:Michael Gove Minister.jpg, File:Sarah Teather Minister.jpg, and File:Tim Loughton Minister.jpg which appear to be different from those currently on Commons, but I can't tell. I'll keep track of them and promptly move them to Commons or ask you to delete them; for more explanation see the several threads on the OGL on User talk:Future Perfect at Sunrise/Archive 26. Thanks in advance, — innotata 16:29, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
You might consider filing a regular image DR on this image at wikipedia and note the original source of the copy vio. The image at Commons has been deleted I see but someone could still 'accidentally' move it to Commons one day. The wikipedia uploader reverted your edits.

I want to nominate my uploads for deletion, but it must be FFD. TonyTheTiger accuses me for deleting them in an improper way, like WP:G7. Have I violated deletion agreements? -- George Ho ( talk) 14:49, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
May I nominated File:Hill Street Station illicit affair.jpg for deletion, please? -- George Ho ( talk) 02:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to
GAM-87 Skybolt, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been
reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the
sandbox. Thank you.

Hey. Would you be able to look through the files at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Kumarrajendran? Given the background on the user and photos this is beyond my remit, and I imagine you would know whether or not they are good better than I. Wizardman 04:58, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know about the proposed deletion of my image of a CityCat. I appreciate your message very much. All the best. Figaro ( talk) 06:18, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
I created a request of editor review on me. Just to let you know. -- George Ho ( talk) 23:13, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
In the past years, I had very little interest in improving Wikipedia. In fact, I've hurt people more than I did not intend, and I was a fanatic deletionist. However, since I was unblocked with mentorship agreements, I thought I could do anything I want, but then I realize there is more to helping the cause than just stand there and do nothing except nominating for deletion. In fact, I have to reluctantly agree with terms, and so far I have interests in improving pages about topics more than just deleting material. Lately, I have requested renaming of Chandra Levy, and I created season pages, like Cheers (season 6), and improved Fab Five: The Texas Cheerleader Scandal.
However, I haven't used User talk:George Ho/Mentorship discussions for half a year (or something like that) because I no longer have interest in recklessly requesting deletion on things that need a lot of improvement. Neverthless, I think that List of Curb Your Enthusiasm directors must go. Lately, I've not been receiving replies. I would hope that the page is in your watchlist, isn't it? I wonder if you want to continue as my mentor. If not, then surely I can find your replacement if necessary.
Note: This post is intended for only active and semi-active people. -- George Ho ( talk) 06:03, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi MGA73, sorry for the very slow reply, but I am not usually a very active member of Wikipedia.
I do have all intention of following the rules and regulations of the site. Hence at the time of uploading of the image I had asked and received Keith's personal permission for use of his photo on Wikipedia. This was back in 2008, before the requirement for submission of permission to permissions-enwikimedia.org existed (as far as I was aware). The trouble now being that I no longer have the original email after such a long time. What would be the correct steps to be able to reinstate the photo?
Cheers

Hello there, a proposal regarding pre-adminship review has been raised at Village pump by Anna Frodesiak. Your comments here is very much appreciated. Many thanks. Jim Carter through MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 06:46, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi, Absolutely that image ! Thanks so much . Do you know how I can get that reinstated now that it has the permissions etc accepted like the other ones are ? Thanks if you can help please. Custardpieboy ( talk) 11:54, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Yes I confirm it was my own work. The outline and Regional boundaries are a derivative work of File:Scotland1974Numbered.png. If you wish, you can move it to Wikimedia Commons and include it in Commons:Category:Maps of Scottish districts 1975 (or I will add it to Commons under my own name and you can then request deletion of the Norwegian copy).-- Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 06:56, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

You forgot to update the file name before deletion... -- Stefan2 ( talk) 22:14, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi. About 30% of the remaining NowCommons WTS Wikivoyage files are now under a different name. I do not know what to do with them when they are marked Wikivoyage:ImageUsage, Wikivoyage:NotMovedInUse, etc. Can you clarify? Magog the Ogre ( t • c) 04:18, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi MGA! I recently ran across uploads credited to this individual (such as File:Beddington Lane layout.gif and many more) and saw this message from you on the uploader's talk page. You wouldn't happen to remember anything about that conversation, would you? It's been a long time. Kelly hi! 09:52, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Kelly I found a copy of the mail:
"You have not been active on Wikipedia for some time so I send you this message per e-mail.
You have uploaded a lot of nice images ( http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wikifam=.wikipedia.org&wikilang=en&order=-img_timestamp&img_user_text=Web+kai2000&max=25&ofs=0&max=25).
The file mention Stephen Parascandolo as author and links to http://www.croydon-tramlink.co.uk/
Just to be sure are you Stephen Parascandolo or have you been granted a permission from Stephen Parascandolo to use the files?
Hope to hear from you soon."
It seems I never got an answer. MGA73 ( talk) 19:07, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, MGA73. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review
the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators'
mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey MGA73, it looks like you've got a user script in use by others that has bare javascript global wg-style variables. These are
phab:T72470 deprecated, and while I don't think there's a timeline for their removal, it's been that way for a while. It's usually a straightforward fix, all uses need to use mw.config.get
, such as converting wgTitle
to mw.config.get('wgTitle')
. There's some more info at
mw:ResourceLoader/Migration guide (users)#Global wg variables. The page is
User:MGA73/movetocommonsreview.js; I can take care of cleaning them up for you if you like, just let me know! ~ Amory (
