Hello, You or your bot have deleted a few images I uploaded, because they may be on commons. However, some of the images on commons give no attribution to the original uploader. It is best practice when moving images to commons to preserve the original information, including the original uploader. Wapondaponda ( talk) 17:58, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
"So fix it" - you can edit on Commons too :-) Images was uploaded to commons in 2007 and in higher resolution than on enwiki. Therefore images was not "transferred" to Commons but someone uploaded a new copy. I have no way of knowing if you worked hard to get images licensed freely or if you just found it - that is why I made no "attribution" to you on enwiki. The photographer should be attributed the work that others do are often "hidden" in file history - we do not have a field for "I found this" or "I persuaded Flickr user to license it freely". So I really do not know where to put that information. -- MGA73 ( talk) 10:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you marked this one as lacking proof of license.
I'm not the uploader, but the original is here, and is licensed CC Attribution, as stated at File:Scholder.jpg.

Hello MGA73,
I appreciate your suggestion, but I'm still not very comfortable with reviewing files, and I was thinking as well that it's better when two users check the file instead of one. So, when I see that someone checks one of the files I transfer, I look what he does and do some cleaning up afterwards. I always categorize them, though, so they are ready for use in Commons even if they have not been checked. Thanks for the links, I'll have a look on them.

Please don't retag my File sandbox for deletion( [7]), if at all possible. I'm unable to have User:Matthewedwards/File:Sandbox.png, so this is all I can do for now.

You probably know this already, but I noticed a few files that you nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2010 August 8 where the uploader requested deletion with the {{ ffd}} tag, and you completed the nomination. Those files actually qualified for speedy deletion under criterion G7, and so I've gone ahead and speedied them. SchuminWeb ( Talk) 07:49, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

You deleted that because it is available on commons with the same name. However, it's not available on Commons under that name, see C20XE. Do you know what the new name is. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 13:20, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
When you deleted File:Diode plot.png did you accidentally overlook the {{ keeplocal}} template? Or do you have some reason for ignoring it? SpinningSpark 14:06, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I see your point. If you are not active on Commons you might miss a DR or whatever the problem is.
As for the file with bad attribution it sometimes happen. In many cases the problem is that local admins delete the files on Wikipedia before the problem is fixed. They did not do it this time so it was easy for me to fix [9] with http://toolserver.org/~magnus/commonshelper.php.

I thought the whole point in having the dates was to mark when the backlog of images were moved, so the duplicates can be sorted out before being eliminated. Either way, I will add the dates to images that I move to the commons no matter what. Incidentally, I moved some images connected to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum to the commons, and many of the duplicate were deleted, but not File:NVMC 2.JPG. What's taking this one so long? ---- DanTD ( talk) 14:04, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Michael,
I see you are interested in working with images, particularly, Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons I'm trying to depopulate that long list, and have run into a couple situations where I'd like feedback from someone with more experience.
Issue 1 This image is on en.Wp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leiopelma_archeyi_range.PNG
and Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leiopelma_archeyi_range.PNG
Note that the GNU Free Documentation license looks fine on en.WP, but messed up at Commons. I've noticed this several times. Do you know if:
Issue 2
This image is in both places as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CountriesRecognizingROC.png
and
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CountriesRecognizingROC.png
However, the image on en.WP have a long history with multiple editors. That history hasn't been carried over to Commons. Is this a problem?
Issue 3
This image is in both places as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Moreeb_dunes.jpg
and
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moreeb_dunes.jpg
However, the Commons image has a tag indicating that it may be deleted. I don't want to delete it from wp.EN, and then have someone else delete it from Commons, so that it is not available. Do you know what should be done?-- SPhilbrick T 17:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Hope this helps you. -- MGA73 ( talk) 17:24, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Before slapping templates on images and requesting speedy deletion, and then notifying user pages with re-direct, why don't you just to check to see if there is not just a simple typo [13] - something you could sort out yourself. Giacomo 10:45, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Thread moved from my Talk page. Cuddlyable3 ( talk) 21:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC) Hi!
You have added Template:ImageLicenseFreeUse on the file. The image ends up in Category:Free use licensing Wikipedians which is a category for Wikipedians and not files.
As I understand it by adding this template you agree to Template:GFDL and Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0. Is that correct? -- MGA73 ( talk) 13:57, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your notice. Continuing to learn. I have added the LGPL license with the File:Bangla.jpg screenshot that is used in Avro Keyboard. I think it is ok now. It is a screenshot of OpenOffice software which is under LGPL. Please tell me if there is anything wrong.---- Cool BD ( talk) 06:06, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

You had said "If you have many files you want to move you can also ask someone with a bot and we can move it for you. --MGA73 (talk) 10:15, 19 January 2011 (UTC)" I want to take you up on that! :) This is the list of the ones that are copy-okay for Commons.
Thank you!-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 15:24, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Is your bot capable of transwiki of these images? CommonsHelper doesn't like the license, even though it exists on Commons. Kelly hi! 20:25, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
<undent> File:Mel Atkey.jpg and File:Two snails producing offspring.JPG seem OK to move. The others have all been tagged/nominated. Kelly hi! 01:24, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
I have (finally!) moved out all the files that used the license {{ GFDL-retouched}}, and now I'm wondering what to do with the license itself. We probably don't want anyone using it on any new uploads, because it uses the old "with disclaimers" version of the GFDL. But I don't know if we can just change the license template - what if old files that used it are undeleted or copied back here from Commons? Kelly hi! 21:26, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I was wondering if you would mind making a small upgrade to User:MGA73/nowcommonsreview.js. Currently many (most?) people that move images to Commons use Commons Helper. When using that tool, you come to a point where it says "add {{ NowCommons}} or delete the original image straight away." Clicking the nowcommons button loads up the image page with a new section called "Now commons", and the text to subst {{ ncd}}. Now for me, I have the box "Show preview before edit box" enabled in my preferences. When I go through this process I see the text "[pass review] [fail review]" in the preview, before the text has been saved. In a nutshell, could you edit the script so that if it is used when the template is not saved on the page, that it will add the template? That will cut one step out of the process. The main problem would be, if the image has a different name on Commons, I don't know how the script would know. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 23:08, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Teaming up would be great! For now I have been working through orphaned images in Category:User-created public domain images from December 2006. It's a pretty massive category compared to other month categories, though -- maybe it would be better for me to move to a smaller one to give your bot a test run. Can your bot detect which images are orphaned? I like going through the orphan images because 1) there's a lot of crap to get rid of and 2) useful orphan images would be nearly impossible to find. I've been moving some images to commons using CommonsHelper, but that's a little slow. Maybe the bot would be an improvement. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 16:46, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I think files like File:Map friedrichsbrunn in germany.png are not worth the effort moving them to Commons. Low resolution, no further use expected. What do you think? -- Common Good ( talk) 18:51, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

See: Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons as of 15 April 2011. If I remember correctly, you said you planned on cleaning up after the bot tagged the images; is that still the case? Magog the Ogre ( talk) 02:08, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Well, in the time that I've been here and deleted 10000 images or so (give or take a few thousand) for commons, I've come to understand commons:COM:COA fairly well. Unfortunately, most of the images on en.wikipedia are sourced to third party sites with no evidence of being originally done by the US military, so my solution would be to nominate them for mass deletion. Seeing as a) that wouldn't be very nice, b) there's a good chance I'm wrong, and c) other experienced users disagree with me, I just steer clear of it. Magog the Ogre ( talk) 02:35, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Twinkle will allow you to mass delete an entire category. Magog the Ogre ( talk) 20:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
I believe the photographer is User:Tedzsee. I simply took his photo and cropped it a little so it was a better headshot of the player. All the right and ownership of the photo belongs to him. JonBroxton ( talk) 19:28, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
If I see another image that was uploaded on Feburary 18, 2011, Feburary 19, 2011, or any other day on a category that's dead, I'll revive it regardless of how much trouble it may cause. I was hoping to find other images from those dates, before the cats were deleted again. Frankly I'm surprised that there are as many images that were uploaded into the commons without being tagged as such, but at this point I'm wondering if I should be surprised anymore. ---- DanTD ( talk) 22:47, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Please proceed to delete. It is orphaned anyway. I wish you and your loved ones a Happy New Year.

I thought the whole point in having the dates was to mark when the backlog of images were moved, so the duplicates can be sorted out before being eliminated. Either way, I will add the dates to images that I move to the commons no matter what. Incidentally, I moved some images connected to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum to the commons, and many of the duplicate were deleted, but not File:NVMC 2.JPG. What's taking this one so long? ---- DanTD ( talk) 14:04, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi Michael,
I see you are interested in working with images, particularly, Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons I'm trying to depopulate that long list, and have run into a couple situations where I'd like feedback from someone with more experience.
Issue 1 This image is on en.Wp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leiopelma_archeyi_range.PNG
and Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Leiopelma_archeyi_range.PNG
Note that the GNU Free Documentation license looks fine on en.WP, but messed up at Commons. I've noticed this several times. Do you know if:
Issue 2
This image is in both places as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CountriesRecognizingROC.png
and
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CountriesRecognizingROC.png
However, the image on en.WP have a long history with multiple editors. That history hasn't been carried over to Commons. Is this a problem?
Issue 3
This image is in both places as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Moreeb_dunes.jpg
and
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moreeb_dunes.jpg
However, the Commons image has a tag indicating that it may be deleted. I don't want to delete it from wp.EN, and then have someone else delete it from Commons, so that it is not available. Do you know what should be done?-- SPhilbrick T 17:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Hope this helps you. -- MGA73 ( talk) 17:24, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Before slapping templates on images and requesting speedy deletion, and then notifying user pages with re-direct, why don't you just to check to see if there is not just a simple typo [13] - something you could sort out yourself. Giacomo 10:45, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Thread moved from my Talk page. Cuddlyable3 ( talk) 21:59, 9 January 2011 (UTC) Hi!
You have added Template:ImageLicenseFreeUse on the file. The image ends up in Category:Free use licensing Wikipedians which is a category for Wikipedians and not files.
As I understand it by adding this template you agree to Template:GFDL and Template:Cc-by-sa-3.0. Is that correct? -- MGA73 ( talk) 13:57, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your notice. Continuing to learn. I have added the LGPL license with the File:Bangla.jpg screenshot that is used in Avro Keyboard. I think it is ok now. It is a screenshot of OpenOffice software which is under LGPL. Please tell me if there is anything wrong.---- Cool BD ( talk) 06:06, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm really seeing no evidence that this image is free. Are you able to shed any light on the issue? J Milburn ( talk) 23:00, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
You had said "If you have many files you want to move you can also ask someone with a bot and we can move it for you. --MGA73 (talk) 10:15, 19 January 2011 (UTC)" I want to take you up on that! :) This is the list of the ones that are copy-okay for Commons.
Thank you!-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 15:24, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
Is your bot capable of transwiki of these images? CommonsHelper doesn't like the license, even though it exists on Commons. Kelly hi! 20:25, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
<undent> File:Mel Atkey.jpg and File:Two snails producing offspring.JPG seem OK to move. The others have all been tagged/nominated. Kelly hi! 01:24, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
I have (finally!) moved out all the files that used the license {{ GFDL-retouched}}, and now I'm wondering what to do with the license itself. We probably don't want anyone using it on any new uploads, because it uses the old "with disclaimers" version of the GFDL. But I don't know if we can just change the license template - what if old files that used it are undeleted or copied back here from Commons? Kelly hi! 21:26, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I was wondering if you would mind making a small upgrade to User:MGA73/nowcommonsreview.js. Currently many (most?) people that move images to Commons use Commons Helper. When using that tool, you come to a point where it says "add {{ NowCommons}} or delete the original image straight away." Clicking the nowcommons button loads up the image page with a new section called "Now commons", and the text to subst {{ ncd}}. Now for me, I have the box "Show preview before edit box" enabled in my preferences. When I go through this process I see the text "[pass review] [fail review]" in the preview, before the text has been saved. In a nutshell, could you edit the script so that if it is used when the template is not saved on the page, that it will add the template? That will cut one step out of the process. The main problem would be, if the image has a different name on Commons, I don't know how the script would know. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 23:08, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Teaming up would be great! For now I have been working through orphaned images in Category:User-created public domain images from December 2006. It's a pretty massive category compared to other month categories, though -- maybe it would be better for me to move to a smaller one to give your bot a test run. Can your bot detect which images are orphaned? I like going through the orphan images because 1) there's a lot of crap to get rid of and 2) useful orphan images would be nearly impossible to find. I've been moving some images to commons using CommonsHelper, but that's a little slow. Maybe the bot would be an improvement. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 16:46, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
I think files like File:Map friedrichsbrunn in germany.png are not worth the effort moving them to Commons. Low resolution, no further use expected. What do you think? -- Common Good ( talk) 18:51, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

See: Category:Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons as of 15 April 2011. If I remember correctly, you said you planned on cleaning up after the bot tagged the images; is that still the case? Magog the Ogre ( talk) 02:08, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
Well, in the time that I've been here and deleted 10000 images or so (give or take a few thousand) for commons, I've come to understand commons:COM:COA fairly well. Unfortunately, most of the images on en.wikipedia are sourced to third party sites with no evidence of being originally done by the US military, so my solution would be to nominate them for mass deletion. Seeing as a) that wouldn't be very nice, b) there's a good chance I'm wrong, and c) other experienced users disagree with me, I just steer clear of it.

I believe the photographer is User:Tedzsee. I simply took his photo and cropped it a little so it was a better headshot of the player. All the right and ownership of the photo belongs to him. JonBroxton ( talk) 19:28, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
If I see another image that was uploaded on Feburary 18, 2011, Feburary 19, 2011, or any other day on a category that's dead, I'll revive it regardless of how much trouble it may cause. I was hoping to find other images from those dates, before the cats were deleted again. Frankly I'm surprised that there are as many images that were uploaded into the commons without being tagged as such, but at this point I'm wondering if I should be surprised anymore. ---- DanTD ( talk) 22:47, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
