Winston Utomo

Hi Explicit, may I re-create a new draft for Winston Utomo which was deleted by you based on soft deletion several months ago? And will you help to review the draft then and can released as a page?? Rachael Adrino (talk) 05:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rachael Adrino: Hi, you are free to recreate the article. You should make sure address the concerns brought up at the deletion discussion to avoid getting the new version nominated for deletion as well. If you would like to submit your draft for review, simply add {{AfC submission}} atop of your sandbox. ✗plicit 10:02, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Explicit. Draft:Winston Utomo has created. Now after adding {{AfC submission}} atop the draft, may I ask for speedy review or quick submission for this draft (since normal review can take a long time)?? Rachael Adrino (talk) 03:21, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright status in home country

Good ${time zone appropriate greeting},

Commons requires a local license tag in addition to a US tag. However, users are prone to transfer images which lack the proper copyright tag in their home nation. I found quite a few in the latest batch, but just one is here: File:Leg before wicket.jpg. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:55, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Magog the Ogre: Hi, as the the author does not appear to be known, I've added {{PD-UK-unknown}}. I'll double check the others in a bit. ✗plicit 00:30, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's just one case. There were probably 20 others that got transferred today without a proper home license. One is a copyright violation on Commons (c:File:Le chant du Rossignol, Tamara Karsavina with dancers. Costume designs by Henri Matisse, 1920.jpg). Magog the Ogre (t • c) 00:55, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FYI I wrote a bot many years ago that creates a page I use to help me evaluate side by side: toolforge:magog/commons_images.htm. If you're interested, I can show you how to install a script that allows deletion by AJAX. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 00:58, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Magog the Ogre: Sure. I was aware of the script existing, but never looked into it. ✗plicit 01:28, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Dragon Dance cover.jpg

Hi, I saw you deleted this file when the attached article (Dragon Dance (novel)) was BLAR back in August. I've contested the BLAR, so do you mind restoring the file? Thanks! ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 03:13, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ARandomName123:

Done, file restored. ✗plicit 05:18, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple files uploaded by same uploader which have clear-cut NFCC issues

Hi Explicit. What's the best way, in your opinion, to deal with all of these? The uploader hasn't edited since August 2024 and no longer seems to be active; so, it's unlikely they're going to respond to my post. I could prod all twenty one files individually (I already prodded three last week), but that might not be the most efficient way to deal with them. An FFD discussion might, on one hand, save a bit of effort, but it doesn't really save time since it will run for at least as many days as prodding the files would take before they're deleted; moreover, there doesn't seem to be much to discuss since the way the files are being used seems clearly not to be in accordance with relevant policy. Tagging them with {{di-disputed non-free use rationale}} also doesn't really save any time. Just removing them from all the articles does speed things up a few days, but not sure if that's the best thing to do. Is there perhaps another option for a case like this that I might be missing? -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Hi, I'm afraid there's no way to expedite the deletion of these files that clearly violates NFCC policy, so it's up to you how to deal with them. I've always felt that {{di-disputed non-free use rationale}} is the best way to go. PRODs are easy to contest and then it forces the files to be listed at FFD, which just doubles the tagging effort. Using WP:AWB can speed up the tagging process if you are familiar in using it. ✗plicit 06:00, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look. I guess "db-disputed non-free use rationale" is the best way to go in this case. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:14, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Cello Bird at Forevertron, WI.JPG

Hi, can you please undelete this. It's on Commons at the moment, but it shouldn't be, as it's outside Commons:COM:FOP in the USA. @MrKeefeJohn: Andy Dingley (talk) 00:04, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Dingley:

Done. I had unchecked that file for deletion to look into it more, but refreshed the page and I guess I didn't uncheck it again. ✗plicit 00:07, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are invited to join the discussion at User talk:Pppery § Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2025 January 16#File:4HTexas.png. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:33, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Explicit. Perhaps you can offer some advice on what to do here since you're one of the more active admins at FFD? -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:34, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Hi, I just went ahead and adjusted the license and closed the related discussion on Commons. FFD has become plagued with overzealous nominations and Fastily was really the only one who continued to take them head-on, which is why it has become so backlogged after his departure. ✗plicit 11:51, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:39, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

South Arabian Republic redirects deletion

As a followup to your close of the RfD, I had made a request for another deletion at Talk:South Yemen#"South Arabian Republic" listed at Redirects for discussion. Jay 💬 14:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay:

Done. ✗plicit 14:35, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain your edits out of WP:RBK

File:UTL video episode.png

Hi Explicit. Would you mind taking a look at File:UTL video episode.png and check whether it's the same as c:File:UTL video episode.png, which was uploaded by the same user but deleted from Commons a few hours before the local file was uploaded. My guess (based on c:User talk:HoodedBeast09#File:UTL video episode.png) is that it is, and the uploader also seems to be claiming to be the copyright holder of the screenshot. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:52, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly: Hi, it is the same screenshot, so I went ahead and deleted it as a copyright violation. ✗plicit 00:55, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:13, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
