Hallo Magog the Ogre, I would like ask You for deletion of File:Missions of NKR.png on Wikipedia, because it was copied to Wikimedia Commons. Thanks You. Jan CZ ( talk) 10:10, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
This image
should be on en.Wikipedia with the 1923-abroad license, not on Commons. It is a photo taken by an unknown photographer in Britain about 1880. Can you please put it back on en.Wikipedia? Thanks! --

Hi,
This morning you deleted Wikipedia's version of File:Holbrookssmall.jpg, which makes me unable to view that version. I had relevant source and author information, but apparently when Skb8721 transferred the file to Commons, he neglected to transfer that. Are you able to view and replace that missing information? Thanks. ɱ (talk · vbm · coi) 15:53, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
The Rambling Man, JHunterJ, KrakatoaKatie, BethNaught... What do they have in common? They find me bothersome and a waste of time. They think I must put a lot of effort to build their trust? They think Wikipedia might be fine without me? If neither, and if that's not the case, what is wrong with me? I attempted to do another editor review until I realize it is inactive and historical. For some time, I resisted on becoming an administrator, but I have second thoughts. Unfortunately, I fear that consensus may go against my request to become an administrator. How do I earn chances to become an administrator? Cleaning up my acts? What else? -- George Ho ( talk) 08:44, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
SMcCandlish and TRM think I should stop "canvassing" with administrators and/or others.

When I uploaded this, I found no information re: lifetime of the artist, so I went with when the book was published. If it's decided to keep the file at Commons, the extra pages will need to be transferred as they include the publication information for the book and the name of the artist. This comes from HathiTrust and they block all but US IPs from full viewing the books, so those outside of the US won't be able to see the information. I uploaded the extra pages as proof of date of publication and artist. We hope ( talk) 23:53, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
User:Stefan2, If either of you are willing to copy the template with the additional information from here and upload the full page which gives credit to the
artist at lower left,
the book's first page (author and date information) and the
page from the book which established when it was created. (Book author died in 1914-information on the file template here.), you can be rid of the file here at WP. Just wanted to have that done so there are no future misunderstandings about the file over there.

Thanks for the heads up. Actually, the reactions towards me have been pretty OK... a couple of nasty comments on reddit, but not too bad; although the Giordano twitter account (T doesn't verify the account) seems to think that my editing days are over....
I have responded at the DR, and leave it at that. I know that I did what the consensus said, so I have no worries... and even if I hadn't, and it was overturned, I'd just take note of what I had done wrong, and apply that knowledge to future AfDs!

it has been 8 months since he was blocked,and considering that he didn't form any sockpuppet account during this time,and according to wikipedia six months awaiting time for the unblock request,i ask on his behalf for him to be forgiven under the condition that he promises to not edit war and never ever have sockpuppet accounts,and i think that his abstinence of sockpuppeting should be a good indication that he won't sockpuppet again.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ankit Love is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ankit Love (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. N4 ( talk) 00:36, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

I find it fun and creative to move files from EnWiki to commons, and have a couple of questions; where do I insert the javascript at Wikipedia:Moving_files_to_Commons#Tools? I also fell it would make sense to rename a lot of the files on enWiki before transferring to commons, a Change from completely meaningless names into suitable name, since afterwards, when the file is uploaded to commons, renaming a file just makes a lot of extra work?

I'm sorry, Magog. You want me to have a wikibreak, but I can't. Not when I have very little friends but so many enemies here. I am quitting soon, and I don't know when I'll come back. Also, I have done very little to make Wikipedia change itself other than things considered trivial, like capitalization, images, punctuations, titles, etc. I've not done much content other than DYK, drafts, and other things. I'm trying to slow down my activities here, but I've made some edits today. I was part of consensus of WP:page mover, but the outcome would have been predictable without me. I felt like I'm drifting myself away to the point where I'm no longer beneficial or necessary. Guess it's hard to say goodbye to people, including ones who would continue to berate me for my own actions. Maybe I... I don't know. Ah, well. If only people would appreciate my edits sans edit warring... Ah well, I can't please them anymore. I'm tired now, and I'm tired of negative energy around me. It outbalances the positive energy, so I'm trying to end many situations as possible. If I don't come back for years, would my absence affect Wikipedia? -- George Ho ( talk) 07:57, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I see that you moved this image to Commons that is not clearly free in England, where it was created: File:Gentlyida.jpg As we discussed in the past with other images, the En.Wikipedia file should have {{PD-US-1923-abroad}} instead of {{PD-US}}. I saw a few other similar images that you moved today and left a note at commons that the license is wrong. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 08:54, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Can you delete File:KXAS-TV logo.png since it's been moved to Commons under c:File:KXAS-TV 2012 logo.png?

Somehow, the person whom I introduced myself to erased the whole thread. In fact, I did introduce myself but then mentioned someone else. Then the third party showed up, and the primary person assumed that I was bringing in the bitchfest. I was not, but the person told me to go away. I just wanted to contact him... especially when I saw his user page. I don't know if he ever wanted to contact me again. What shall I do? -- George Ho ( talk) 19:50, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
It's not TRM anymore. It's someone else: In ictu oculi. He keeps disambiguating articles for no apparent reason other than some kind of distinction or title clarity or something. I tried warning him, but that made me a bad guy. I just could not handle the way he disambiguates anymore, like he did to Snatcher. Also, he created Ready for Your Love (Chapter 8 song) just to disambiguate other articles of the same name, but the article is now redirected to its parent article Chapter 8 (album). If I can't report him to ANI, what else shall I do? -- George Ho ( talk) 07:57, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

This image was moved to Commons some time ago, and you just deleted it from en.Wikipedia, but I don't see any indication that it is free in England, its country of origin: File:Terry's theatre.jpg. I'm wondering if you check that the licensing is correct before you do F8 deletions? -- Ssilvers ( talk) 02:58, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
It is more than a year (1y4m) that I've been blocked in commons. Is it possible to change the situation? I really learned a lesson from that and during this time I think I became more calm and try to use wikimedia policies. You are admin and you know that story. At the moment I want to contribute to Commons but I can't write even on my talk page.-- g. balaxaZe ★ 09:40, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello Magog the Ogre you are moving my maps the best. So please have an attention to them (see this two moved by Music1201: File:Dzama river basin on the Shida Kartli map.svg; File:East Prone river basin on the Shida Kartli map.svg) it is moved with mistakes. I've already told to that user :/ There are some other works: Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by a human. -- g. balaxaZe ★ 13:48, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
I think I'm going down to the bottom. I asked for more mentors, but people emphasize the negatives about me, causing the request to fail. I tried raising an issue at WT:ITN, but I got clammed down. I made discussions at the user talk pages of someone who beat me down in front of everyone. I discussed images at WikiProject talk pages, but I get chided for being either unproductive or useless or uncooperative. Everywhere I go, I do not belong. If I work on pages alone, I don't know what people would thank me for. I don't think I'd be thanked for my hard work on pages in the future. That's what bothers me. If I can't retire, maybe I would consider a very long Wikibreak. Also, I'm planning to write down a list of reasons for comeback, but I'm not confident that it'll be pleasant. -- George Ho ( talk) 02:13, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

You completed a {{ db-g7}} of User:Geo Swan/review/Sada training camp for me.
I recently purchased a copy of a book that covers the camp in detail.
I can't remember whether the 2009 version had significant detail, or references that would measure up to the standards of 2016. But I would appreciate you grafting the revision history of the 2009 version to User:Geo Swan/Sadda training camp.

Hello Magog the Ogre, I am again about Commons, recently Wikimedia Community User Group Georgia has received an email for participation in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016. From Georgian side I am the most interested person and already organizer. As you know WLM is about photos so Commons access is extra needed. You've told me to explain what I got from blocking and now it is definitely clear for me that using policies is the best solution in disputes and revert plays do not bring solution. Also I am not side walker in Wikimedia and my block punished me a lot, because my contribution was not so productive as I could. Now a lot of time has flowed from my block and I think I deserve chance to be unblocked, I give my word that for every controversial edit I will bring admins attention to it and will act after discussion. But for now I just want to bring all my photos or works to Commons and organize WLM 2016 for September.-- g. balaxaZe ★ 11:19, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

You received a new message at Wikimedia Commons. See this. XPanettaa ( talk) 13:25, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
This file and other similar ones are speedied here and on Commons. Since it's useful to WP, not a copyright violation and the uploader will probably never see your posts to their talk page (and identified it as "own work" back in '07), it seems a shame to lose it over a technicality; many older uploads have similar sketchy or inaccurate information. In this case, I'm inclined to IAR and change the licensing to {{ Cc-by-sa-4.0}}; in their choice of license, the uploader apparently confused their derivative work with the original bas-relief (whose creator died in the 17th century). What say you? All the best, Mini apolis 13:48, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Magog the Ogre. 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)
Hello Magog. Idont know if you remember this case, but a year ago there was an editor in the Rojava page and lots of toubles were cause by him which you solved. This link take you to the old problem.
Since then, this user expanded and created many accounts with different new personas and I've opened a case against him here Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Long_term_abuse

Sorry to have kind of stepped over you reverting my G5 request at File:Truck stop women.jpg. I hadn't made clear in my request that it's a WMF directive that this user's contributions be deleted.

This is on Commons under the same name in higher resolution, but with conflicting licensing information and no OTRS ticket. Does the OTRS ticket cover the higher resolution copy on Commons? Also, is this a screenshot of Google Earth? -- Stefan2 ( talk) 09:50, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ankit Love is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ankit Love (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. N4 ( talk) 00:36, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
How can I contact SENS to verify the permission on that photograph? The file will be deleted unless we can verify the authorship (see c:Commons:Grandfathered old files). Magog the Ogre ( t • c) 00:19, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I find it fun and creative to move files from EnWiki to commons, and have a couple of questions; where do I insert the javascript at Wikipedia:Moving_files_to_Commons#Tools? I also fell it would make sense to rename a lot of the files on enWiki before transferring to commons, a Change from completely meaningless names into suitable name, since afterwards, when the file is uploaded to commons, renaming a file just makes a lot of extra work?

I'm sorry, Magog. You want me to have a wikibreak, but I can't. Not when I have very little friends but so many enemies here. I am quitting soon, and I don't know when I'll come back. Also, I have done very little to make Wikipedia change itself other than things considered trivial, like capitalization, images, punctuations, titles, etc. I've not done much content other than DYK, drafts, and other things. I'm trying to slow down my activities here, but I've made some edits today. I was part of consensus of WP:page mover, but the outcome would have been predictable without me. I felt like I'm drifting myself away to the point where I'm no longer beneficial or necessary. Guess it's hard to say goodbye to people, including ones who would continue to berate me for my own actions. Maybe I... I don't know. Ah, well. If only people would appreciate my edits sans edit warring... Ah well, I can't please them anymore. I'm tired now, and I'm tired of negative energy around me. It outbalances the positive energy, so I'm trying to end many situations as possible. If I don't come back for years, would my absence affect Wikipedia? -- George Ho ( talk) 07:57, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Whenever I write, people get confused at what I am saying. Is there something wrong with my conversational skills on the computer? -- George Ho ( talk) 05:31, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi. I see that you moved this image to Commons that is not clearly free in England, where it was created: File:Gentlyida.jpg As we discussed in the past with other images, the En.Wikipedia file should have {{PD-US-1923-abroad}} instead of {{PD-US}}. I saw a few other similar images that you moved today and left a note at commons that the license is wrong. -- Ssilvers ( talk) 08:54, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Can you delete File:KXAS-TV logo.png since it's been moved to Commons under c:File:KXAS-TV 2012 logo.png? There is an updated logo under the same name ( c:File:KXAS-TV logo.png) on Commons and it won't display that until the old file gets deleted. Thanks, 🎓 Corkythe hornetfan 🎓 01:32, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Somehow, the person whom I introduced myself to erased the whole thread. In fact, I did introduce myself but then mentioned someone else. Then the third party showed up, and the primary person assumed that I was bringing in the bitchfest. I was not, but the person told me to go away. I just wanted to contact him... especially when I saw his user page. I don't know if he ever wanted to contact me again. What shall I do? -- George Ho ( talk) 19:50, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
It's not TRM anymore. It's someone else: In ictu oculi. He keeps disambiguating articles for no apparent reason other than some kind of distinction or title clarity or something. I tried warning him, but that made me a bad guy. I just could not handle the way he disambiguates anymore, like he did to Snatcher. Also, he created Ready for Your Love (Chapter 8 song) just to disambiguate other articles of the same name, but the article is now redirected to its parent article Chapter 8 (album). If I can't report him to ANI, what else shall I do? -- George Ho ( talk) 07:57, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello Magog the Ogre, could you rename this file ► File:Georgia Pop.svg.2016 06 06 22 25 59.0.svg to a title of the map? -- g. balaxaZe ★ 16:21, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Please block user:172.56.15.211 for vandalism he did here https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Syleena_Johnson&diff=next&oldid=726035682 after a 4th warning. 2602:306:3357:BA0:90D:BD71:7476:B510 ( talk) 15:58, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
This image was moved to Commons some time ago, and you just deleted it from en.Wikipedia, but I don't see any indication that it is free in England, its country of origin: File:Terry's theatre.jpg. I'm wondering if you check that the licensing is correct before you do F8 deletions? -- Ssilvers ( talk) 02:58, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
It is more than a year (1y4m) that I've been blocked in commons. Is it possible to change the situation? I really learned a lesson from that and during this time I think I became more calm and try to use wikimedia policies. You are admin and you know that story. At the moment I want to contribute to Commons but I can't write even on my talk page.-- g. balaxaZe ★ 09:40, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello Magog the Ogre you are moving my maps the best. So please have an attention to them (see this two moved by Music1201: File:Dzama river basin on the Shida Kartli map.svg; File:East Prone river basin on the Shida Kartli map.svg) it is moved with mistakes. I've already told to that user :/ There are some other works: Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by a human. -- g. balaxaZe ★ 13:48, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
I think I'm going down to the bottom. I asked for more mentors, but people emphasize the negatives about me, causing the request to fail. I tried raising an issue at WT:ITN, but I got clammed down. I made discussions at the user talk pages of someone who beat me down in front of everyone. I discussed images at WikiProject talk pages, but I get chided for being either unproductive or useless or uncooperative. Everywhere I go, I do not belong. If I work on pages alone, I don't know what people would thank me for. I don't think I'd be thanked for my hard work on pages in the future. That's what bothers me. If I can't retire, maybe I would consider a very long Wikibreak. Also, I'm planning to write down a list of reasons for comeback, but I'm not confident that it'll be pleasant. -- George Ho ( talk) 02:13, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Could you please remove the archive from my talkpage on this article talkpage? The new editor went through my talkpage archives apparently looking for dirt, instead of relying on reliable third-party sources.

Hi there, please could you create some special maps of the local results of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland of the results of the 1975 EEC Referendum using the broundries that were used at the time for the referendum to supplement the Results of the United Kingdom European Communities membership referendum, 1975 and also could you please create a blank map of the 68 Counting areas for the UK that were used in 1975 for the Referendum Act 1975 article.

You completed a {{ db-g7}} of User:Geo Swan/review/Sada training camp for me.
I recently purchased a copy of a book that covers the camp in detail.
I can't remember whether the 2009 version had significant detail, or references that would measure up to the standards of 2016. But I would appreciate you grafting the revision history of the 2009 version to User:Geo Swan/Sadda training camp.
Thanks! Geo Swan ( talk) 07:57, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello dear Magog the Ogre. I will be glad to know your opinion about this image. I spent hours to illustrate it so it definitely will be important for me to know and see your opinion in this page.

Hello Magog the Ogre, I am again about Commons, recently Wikimedia Community User Group Georgia has received an email for participation in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016. From Georgian side I am the most interested person and already organizer. As you know WLM is about photos so Commons access is extra needed. You've told me to explain what I got from blocking and now it is definitely clear for me that using policies is the best solution in disputes and revert plays do not bring solution. Also I am not side walker in Wikimedia and my block punished me a lot, because my contribution was not so productive as I could. Now a lot of time has flowed from my block and I think I deserve chance to be unblocked, I give my word that for every controversial edit I will bring admins attention to it and will act after discussion. But for now I just want to bring all my photos or works to Commons and organize WLM 2016 for September.-- g. balaxaZe ★ 11:19, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

This file and other similar ones are speedied here and on Commons. Since it's useful to WP, not a copyright violation and the uploader will probably never see your posts to their talk page (and identified it as "own work" back in '07), it seems a shame to lose it over a technicality; many older uploads have similar sketchy or inaccurate information. In this case, I'm inclined to IAR and change the licensing to {{ Cc-by-sa-4.0}}; in their choice of license, the uploader apparently confused their derivative work with the original bas-relief (whose creator died in the 17th century). What say you? All the best, Mini apolis 13:48, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Magog the Ogre. 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)
Hello Magog. Idont know if you remember this case, but a year ago there was an editor in the Rojava page and lots of toubles were cause by him which you solved. This link take you to the old problem.
Since then, this user expanded and created many accounts with different new personas and I've opened a case against him here Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Long_term_abuse
Since you were the main admin involved, I thought its good to tell you. Cheers-- Attar-Aram syria ( talk) 21:22, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Sorry to have kind of stepped over you reverting my G5 request at File:Truck stop women.jpg. I hadn't made clear in my request that it's a WMF directive that this user's contributions be deleted. I had just been reviewing their SPI case and found some files which were missed. There was a discussion about it at ANI a while back that confirmed this course of action. Just thought I should leave a note here explaining. Cheers. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 14:43, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Are you the editor doing most of the F8 deletion work? I did a few when you took a day or two off and realize how much work they are so I'm impressed that you've done so many. S Philbrick (Talk) 12:57, 20 October 2016 (UTC) |
