I saw after indef-blocking User:SelfStarter2 that you had given them a warning, and that they had no subsequent edits after that warning. I hope it's OK with you that I blocked them. Let me know if you really think I was wrong. My own view is that their conduct was such that there was virtually no chance of them becoming a positive contributor. - Jmabel ! talk 04:14, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Would you please take a moment to look at this
This file history shows that I marked the fie as missing permission. Esther Bruton died in, if I recall correctly, 1992, The uploader states "Per Oct 25, 2023 email from Katherine Ets-Hokin, Librarian Archivist San Francisco History Center, San Francisco Public Library, 100 Larkin Street, San Francisco, CA 94102, sfpl.org/sfhistory, 415.557.4527: No permission is required to use our photos on Wikipedia Commons, we just request that you use a hyperlinked credit line."
The key element for me is that the photographer of the original piece is likely to be the copyright owner, not the San Francisco Public Library. This I believe that their permission, not the library's, is needed.
I have asked the reverting editor for their rationale, especially since, generally, we "challenge" SD nominations, not revert them. No response though they have edited further since.
I have no desire, nor intention, to get into a revert war, hence my request to you for advice, including, please, any necessary flagging of this file for any form of deletion. You have already given advice to the uploader. 🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦 19:35, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of Category:Historical images of Milan
Hi I was wondering why on earth delete a top category that might contain obviously historical images of Milan that are not traceable, as far as we know, to any recognized photographer. I also think that if you ever wanted to move images to the History of Milan category IMO it is a mistake because it should only contain categories related to precise historical events and not generic images that are considered historical. I also confess that I don't know exactly from what year it can be considered a historical photograph, do you have a guideline on this? Thank you for your attention. :-) Threecharlie (talk) 01:21, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Threecharlie: Hi, I only deleted this category because it was empty. I don't have a strong opinion about the content. Please discuss this on the Village Pump. Yann (talk) 14:06, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
As i mentioned before, the original file is a fanmade reconstruction of the general release version i created and uploaded to the Internet Archive back in 2016. It was assembled, alongside footage from the 1999 reconstrucion (already uploaded in Commons by a third party), in SD so to keep the quality of the VHS main source.
I suggest to overwrite the windowboxed file with the original IA video file which is under a Public Domain Mark. --Mayimbú (talk) 03:41, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Mayimbú: Hi, Which version do you suggest to overwrite? Most of the time, overwriting such files doesn't have any benefit. And if they are different by length or content, they should be kept separate. Yann (talk) 14:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just noticed the YouTube source for the file linked before is different from the one the talk page was linking to (a 4K upscaling of the original IA version). The original IA video file came with a watermark at the "Metro Goldwyn Picture" ending card, which the 4k upscaled upload keeps but the YouTube source file omits (hence the small but significant difference in length).
- Considering that, my conclusion is that the IA "remastered" file should take its place until an upgraded transfer of the film were to be made.--Mayimbú (talk) 19:46, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

- @The Sammirs: Hi,
- The file was copied from Facebook, and the author is said to be unknown. 1. Do not copy files from Facebook. Anybody can copy anything to Facebook, so it is not a reliable source. Rather ask the author to upload the original image. 2. Do not upload recent works from the Internet, specially if you do not know the author. The author must provide a free license, so if you do not who are they, a free license can be provided. 3. More generally do not upload documents from the Internet, unless you have evidence that it is in the public domain or under a free license. Yann (talk) 17:40, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
User:Bdblakley29 and Find a Grave
Hi Yann. You've already warned this user about uploading copyvios and they haven't uploaded anything since then; so, perhaps they have decided to be more careful. However, it seems they've been scouring "Find a Grave" for photos they can add to en:List of unusual deaths, and pretty much uploaded them to Commons regardless of there being very little or perhaps no information about their copyright status, and almost always without even a url. Find a Grave isn't really a good source for photo because the ones they host can seemingly be uploaded without any vetting and without verification of copyright status. It seems to be basically a free-for-all, and photos are probably only removed when someone complains. I'm kind of surprised it's not listed at COM:PRS, but perhaps it should be. Anyway, there are probably some more problem files buried in this user's uploads which need to be assessed because it seems there just picking a license that "feels" right like they've done with File:Fearful scene women torn to pieces by cats.jpg, File:Abu Nasr al-Jawhari.webp, File:Paris Green.webp, File:Oliver Dolphis Durpe.jpg and File:Mary Sutton.jpg. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:26, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: Hi,
- Yes, Find a Grave is not a valid reference for recent pictures. However it should be OK for old pictures. I tagged one of the files with "no permission". Yann (talk) 11:31, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of files uploaded by user Daeva Trạc
Hi, Yann.
In my watchlist, I noticed that a number of files have been deleted. So I checked your contributions and found that user Daeva Trạc has been blocked and all the files uploaded by him have been deleted. First, I've seen many sockpuppets of Đăng Đàn Cung, and in my opinion user Daeva Trạc's editing activity as well as his uploads are different from Đăng Đàn Cung. Here is an example from which you can see his reflection on his work: He requested that some of the inaccurate maps he had previously created and uploaded be removed. Also if I remember correctly Daeva Trạc usually included sources in his files while Đăng Đàn Cung always doesn't bother to do so.
Then, even if he is Đăng Đàn Cung, most of these documents are educational and not violating copyright. For example, he uploaded many South Vietnamese propaganda materials, which were made by the Government of South Vietnam and the US (thus in PD in both countries). Another example is File:External marquis Cường Để at Japan.jpg, a portrait photo of a famous person; It had been used in many articles and it has entered PD in both Japan and the US.
Could you kindly restore all these files so that we are able to check them? Also, I'm wondering where we can discuss about this user's activity so that we could determine whether it's a sockpuppet or not. 源義信 (talk) 14:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Donald Trung you have been dealing with Đăng Đàn Cung for a long time, I'm wondering if you have seen this user Daeva Trạc and what are your thoughts. 源義信 (talk) 14:31, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- @源義信: , User "Daeva Trạc" is certainly not a sock of "Musée Annam", they simply share similar interests, but the files uploaded by user "Daeva Trạc" often contained fictional flags to debunk the bullshit claimed by "Musée Annam" for years, several of their uploads were nominated for deletion several times already but they were within scope, they only uploaded attested fantasy flags (which were all within scope as they were used with external sources on Wikipedia to illustrate that these are popularly misattributed as real historical flags) to debunk their historicity. User "Daeva Trạc" is a good faith user who has simply been mistakenly tagged as a sock of "Musée Annam" by people at the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia for displaying similar interests, but "Musée Annam" immediately attacks anyone the moment he gets discovered, user "Daeva Trạc" has been politely pleading his innocence for years. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
- Many similar cases exist, for example, at the English-language Wikipedia user "Solomon203" as a sock of the Nipponese Dog Calvero since 2017, despite the fact that they are completely unrelated people simply because he has similar interests and is from the same country (the Chinese Republic, also known as "Taiwan"). Unfortunately, once an accusation has been accepted it is nearly impossible to overturn it, user "Solomon203" literally went to the office of Wikimedia Taiwan in person to confirm that he was someone else and the administrators at the English-language Wikipedia still ignored the Mandarin Chinese-language Wikipedia's admins who were affiliated with the local chapter, so I don't think that it is realistic for user "Daeva Trạc" to be unblocked at the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia and people elsewhere
wewill see the block and just assume that their assessment was correct. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)- Additionally, user "Daeva Trạc" lives in Canada, user "Musée Annam" lives in either Nam Định or Hanoi. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:05, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
This is really weird, I just checked the Meta-Wiki and the global lock 🔐 was requested by user "Nguyentrongphu" who had blocked him at the Vietnamese-language Wikipedia on June 6th (sixth) 2023, yet he seemed to have waited more than a year to request this. This seems more like a petty move than anything else, here is the question, did the Steward in question actually compare the accounts or did they just take the admin's word at face value? There has literally never been a sock puppet investigation, people were literally just insulting him, calling him bad news names (admins and rollbackers), some of these people even came here to the Wikimedia Commons to insult him. The admin who requested him to be globally locked also wanted to request a local block at the English-language Wikipedia last year when there was a discussion there, but because he himself is blocked there for "WP:NOTHERE" he likely just used the Meta-Wiki to circumvent local wiki's and unilaterally globally ban him based on his own hatred for him. All the fake flags he uploaded were both properly sourced (as in they were used in real life festivals and have been misused by pop historians) and whenever inserted in Wikipedia were used to debunk misinformation. But Vietnamese users simply saw fake flags and wanted to immediately ban him. This begs the question how many other users simply interested in Vietnamese history are blocked because of careless actions, user "Yann" clearly acted in good faith as from the timeline this user appeared to have been globally locked as a known copyright ©️ violator and spreader of misinformation, but the fault was ultimately at the stewards for not investigating. @源義信: , maybe it would be wise for you to request a global unlock 🔓 and also let this user do his own story. He is clearly not "Musée Annam", also a simple CheckUser investigation will easily find that they are not even in the same continent. @Yann, would it be wise for me to open a CU request to prove his innocence or are these requests only to try to connect guilty users? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:48, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Quick inquiry
Hello Yann. I noticed that you deleted the file 'Speech1,jpg' covered in this log, for copyvio. I'm sure the deletion was justified, but I was confused as to the exact reasoning for your conclusion, and was hoping you could clarify, if only so I could understand the process of the determination a little better (I am not a very frequent commons user, but rather an en.Wikipedia regular). I note that the file was uploaded under a self-work claim by the uploader. Was your determination to delete it due to the fact that an express permission/free-use license had not been provided at the time of upload, or did you simply find there was reason to doubt the claim of ownership? Thanks in advance for any education you can provide here. To explain my interest: I was using the image in question on my user page, and if it is going to disappear into the aether, I was hoping I could at least use this as an opportunity to understand commons a little better. Snow (talk) 03:17, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Bonjour Yann, Vous avez supprimé l'illustration que constitue le logo de l'association des Panthères roses (Paris) alors que celui-ci est placé par son auteur sous licence Creative Commons (confirmé personnellement après recherche du contact de l'auteur). Le seul motif que j'ai trouvé sur la page de suppression est "Non-free character animation" et il me semble qu'il est le résultat d'une confusion entre ce logo qui est une œuvre indépendante et la série d'animation "La Panthère rose" qui est probablement sous Copyright.

- You don't need to ping me on my own talk page. Only some of Bollywood images are allowed, in the "News and parties" section. OK, I created a DR for File:Dragn.gif. Yann (talk) 08:54, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Deletions of Category:RAF Strike Command / Category:RAF Transport Command
These should not have been deleted, and certainly not as speedies with no explanation left in the deletion log.
As I've just posted to a relatively new editor:
- == Renaming well-established categories ==
- When moving categories like Category:RAF Transport Command, please leave a redirect behind. Or if moving them with a cut-and-paste move, don't delete the original; instead convert it to a redirect.
- Whatever your opinion of the original name, if it is a reasonable name (not necessarily the best name or the formally correct name) and has been around a long time, then there are likely to be inbound links to that page. It's not good practice to then break those links. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:08, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
I'm disappointed to have to point any of this out to an admin. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:11, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Andy Dingley: I don't disagree with you, but it was speedy nominated as empty categories by User:Militum professio scriniarii. Yann (talk) 19:51, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- So what?
- No, seriously, so what? If they nominated the main page, would you delete that? Andy Dingley (talk) 21:12, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- You have to assume a bit more good faith. How do I supposed to know which categories require a redirect? As I said, I didn't move the categories, I only deleted it as it was empty, and tagged as such. Yann (talk) 09:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- No-one should action a speedy unless it's clear. Otherwise knock it back to a CfD. This is fundamental in our speedy processes (any of them).
- We do not even have a 'speedy' deletion process. COM:SPEEDY alone is not a valid reason or explanation. We have about thirty of them, and the relevant one should always be noted (and its conditions met). If this was claimd to be C2 then that has a seven day window before deletion, because of situations just like this.
- We have good policies in place to prevent this sort of issue happening. Please try and follow them, rather than ignoring them for 'short cuts' that cause even more trouble and wasted time. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- I think you don't know what you are talking about. And since there are redirects now, you should Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass. Yann (talk) 21:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Template
Like Template:Created with GIMP, is it possible to create a {{Created with Canva}}? ★ 21:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- @ArionStar: Sure, go ahead! Yann (talk) 22:32, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Could you help me? How do I do it? ★ 23:18, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- @ArionStar: Start at Template:Created with Canva. Copy the code from Template:Created with GIMP. Replace GIMP by Canva, then you will see what needs to be fixed. Yann (talk) 09:41, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done! Thank you so much! ★ 21:01, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

How to avoid a speedy deletion?
Hi Yann. You just deleted this category: Category:Paintings by Christian Aigens in Arbejdermuseet. I tried to avoid the deletion by opening a discussion about the deletion. It did not work. What would be a better procedure? Cheers Rsteen (talk) 02:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rsteen: It was, and it is still empty. It can be undeleted or recreated if it is not empty. Yann (talk) 07:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your swift answer. It only became empty because another user moved the file it contained, and then asked for a speedy deletion. Where I come from, you would discuss a deletion with the user who had originally created the category (me), and that is what I had hoped would happen. So again, what would the best procedure be to avoid a speedy deletion in cases like this? Cheers Rsteen (talk) 12:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Rsteen: Please discuss this with the user, and/or on the Village Pump. Yann (talk) 12:22, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Why was this video kept?
Hello Yann.... At Commons:Deletion requests/File:Me at the zoo.webm, the sole !vote cast was to Delete, on the grounds that the claimed author Jawed Karim was not in fact the videographer and therefore not the copyright owner. It was asserted that Karim had designated the video as Creative Commons Attribution at one point in the past (it isn't any longer)... but that's completely irrelevant. The video is not his to release under such a licence. Until and unless it's determined that the videographer has assented to release it under those terms, it should not be hosted on Commons, and the discussion should have closed as delete. Cheers Amakuru (talk) 19:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Please see: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Marcello Canino. --Krd 07:56, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
You removed Public-Domain logos
Hello, you removed files, on which public-domain were almost certainly applied for. It were PD-Czech File:Českomoravská unie středu.gif and File:Czechoslovak Social Democracy.png. You removed it there after User:Grandmaster Huon started massivelly nominating files for speedy-deletion. Multiple users now indicated on his talk page that speedy-deletion nominations were not adequate, only normal type deletion requests. This is because he nominates also files previously decided as not adequate to deletion. I ask you to change all this speedy-nominations to normal nominations and restore those files. Thank you.

- Done OK, restored. Yann (talk) 23:04, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Copyright Claims
Hello Yann, the works I upload here are directly mine and duly photographed by me, kindly provide evidence of copyright if I really did violated one and assistance on how to dispute all these will go a long way. Thank you. Benbaahi (talk) 14:49, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Benbaahi: Hi, If the pictures were previously published elsewhere, please confirm the license via COM:VRT. Or you can upload the original images with EXIF data. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:11, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Can you restore the file File:City_Emblem_of_Bogor.svg? That logo is in the public domain according to Article 42 of Indonesia's 2014 Copyright Act No. 28. See File:Coat_of_arms_of_West_Java.svg as an example. Rtnf (talk) 13:27, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Done @Rtnf: Please fix the source. Yann (talk) 13:29, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
