Hi Peripitus. Thanks for your message. You were not mistaken, as the image I uploaded was not registered under Creative Commons copyrights. I have now obtained formal written permission by the photographer. How could I prove the image in case has sharing permission? Can I simply upload one with updated metadata?

Hi Peripitus. Thank you for helping clean up at FFD. I have a question about your close to
Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2015 December 13#File:Barbados Football Association.svg. Your close took care of the problem of there being two versions of the same image, but it did not address the problem of No. 17 of
WP:NFC#UUI. The .png image that was kept is now being used in both
Barbados national football team and
Barbados Football Association. Previous FFD and NFCR discussion regarding No. 17 have almost always come to the conclusion that usage of such an image is acceptable in the federation's article but not in individual team articles. See
Wikipedia:Non-free content review/Archive 65#File:FSU Seminoles logo.png,

My nomination statement included the sentence I don't think usage of either image satisfies No. 17 of WP:NFC#UUI in the individual team article, so it should be removed from there regardless whether the .svg or .png is used."
, but it was mixed in with the rest so perhaps easy to overlook. Anyway, I still think the usage of image is problematic in the individual team's article, but I'm not sure how to continue addressing that since the FFD discussion has been closed. Do I need to re-nominate the image at FFD to resolve this matter? Thanks in advance. --

Regarding your closing statement at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 January 18#File:Surprise surprise billy talent.png, FFD venue is no longer called "Files for deletion": it is now called "Files for discussion". Back in October 2015, the functionality of Wikipedia:Non-free content review was merged into FFD, which resulted in FFD being renamed. What Marchjuly presented above in their nomination was a concern that the file they nominated, currently marked non-free, may actually not be eligible for copyright in the United States (making it free), usually due to not being original enough to meet the threshold of originality. I implore you to consider FFD's new function, and adjust your close appropriately or reopen the discussion. (This concern also applies to Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 January 18#File:Viking Death March.jpg.) Steel1943 ( talk) 20:34, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the GA on Ayers Rock both CaesarsPalaceDude ( talk) and myself are proud of the work we had done there. As for the photo in the infobox: it is a colour, performance shot of the band with the line up at the height of their popularity. The alternative is a posed, static, B&W shot of a latter day line up with few of the original members left. In any case, as you've said, its not important enough to worry about now. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 00:02, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Peripitus. I have a comment about your close for Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 January 4#File:CUA Cardinal 2008.png. My understanding of No. 17 of WP:NFC#UUI is that we generally allow the use of mascot logos like File:CUA Cardinal 2008.png in stand-alone articles about a university's athletic department/athletic teams (i.e., the "parent" article), but not in individual team/season articles (i.e., the "child" articles). See Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2015 December 5#File:UNLV Rebels logo.png and Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2015 December 6#File:CSU07athleticslogo.PNG for two recently closed FFD discussions about similar logos. I understand your NFCC#1 concerns, but there are pretty much freely licensed wordmark logos available for almost every major US university (for example, File:UNLV Athletics Script Logo.png and File:Cleveland State Wordmark.png for the other two FFD discussions), yet use of the mascot logo in the "parent" article is considered OK. For reference, many US university teams don't use their mascot logos on their uniform jerseys/shirts, but they do sometimes use them on helments or as a sleeve patch or stuff like that, so its not really surprising that the photo you linked to of the CSUs women's soccer team does not show the logo. If, however, you look at some photos of the men's (American) football team, you see the logo on the player's helmets. Administrators do have a bit of discretion when it comes to closes, but I thought I'd just point out that yours is a little different from what's been done lately by other admins. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Peripitus. You closed Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2015 December 2#File:Sheffield FC.svg as a "keep" for Sheffield F.C. only. You then removed the file from Sheffield F.C. Ladies, etc. and also removed the non-free use rationales for those articles from the file's page. The file has been re-added a couple of times to "Sheffied F.C. Ladies" article (along with a non-free use rationale for such usage) since then by SevcoFraudsters, who seems to disagree with the FFD close. Is there a way for an editor to re-open a previously closed FFD discussion which did not involve the deletion of a file, but rather only its removal from certain articles? Would WP:DCL#Challenging other closures apply in this case? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Peripitus. I noticed that you had prior contact with this user regarding their uploads. They've been uploading several more suspicious uploads lately. In January I took File:MbangOndoGabon.jpg.jpg to WP:PUF, and the user tagged it for G7 deletion. Yesterday, I tagged 1 file for F9 as a blatant copyvio and I took 5 additional suspicious files to PUF. Again, they tagged all 6 for G7 deletion. Looking through their upload history, I saw dozens more suspicious files that are too low resolution and lacking Exif to be believable as self-work. Most of them honestly look like screenshots from streaming video of the soccer games. I'm tempted to take most of the rest of their uploads to PUF when I have a little more time to look at each one in detail.
My concern is that, following your interaction with the user, they continue to upload suspicious files that are probably copyvios. When challenged, they tag those images for G7 deletion, but then they continue with the suspicious uploading. I'm not sure if you wanted to involve yourself again. If my suspicions are correct and the images are copyvios being passed off as self-work, it may end up requiring admin action due to the continuation of the same conduct.

Hello, Peripitus. 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.

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Peripitus.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

The rationale for deletion was "no FOP for art in Japan " but that is not true according to the section titled 第四十六条, which states that copyrighted works are free to use when they are set in places that can always easily be seen (美術の著作物でその原作品が前条第二項に規定する屋外の場所に恒常的に設置されているもの又は建築の著作物は、次に掲げる場合を除き、いずれの方法によるかを問わず、利用することができる), so Japan does have freedom of panorama.

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Peripitus. I have a comment about your close for Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 January 4#File:CUA Cardinal 2008.png. My understanding of No. 17 of WP:NFC#UUI is that we generally allow the use of mascot logos like File:CUA Cardinal 2008.png in stand-alone articles about a university's athletic department/athletic teams (i.e., the "parent" article), but not in individual team/season articles (i.e., the "child" articles). See Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2015 December 5#File:UNLV Rebels logo.png and Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2015 December 6#File:CSU07athleticslogo.PNG for two recently closed FFD discussions about similar logos. I understand your NFCC#1 concerns, but there are pretty much freely licensed wordmark logos available for almost every major US university (for example, File:UNLV Athletics Script Logo.png and File:Cleveland State Wordmark.png for the other two FFD discussions), yet use of the mascot logo in the "parent" article is considered OK. For reference, many US university teams don't use their mascot logos on their uniform jerseys/shirts, but they do sometimes use them on helments or as a sleeve patch or stuff like that, so its not really surprising that the photo you linked to of the CSUs women's soccer team does not show the logo. If, however, you look at some photos of the men's (American) football team, you see the logo on the player's helmets. Administrators do have a bit of discretion when it comes to closes, but I thought I'd just point out that yours is a little different from what's been done lately by other admins. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 12:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Peripitus. You closed Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2015 December 2#File:Sheffield FC.svg as a "keep" for Sheffield F.C. only. You then removed the file from Sheffield F.C. Ladies, etc. and also removed the non-free use rationales for those articles from the file's page. The file has been re-added a couple of times to "Sheffied F.C. Ladies" article (along with a non-free use rationale for such usage) since then by SevcoFraudsters, who seems to disagree with the FFD close. Is there a way for an editor to re-open a previously closed FFD discussion which did not involve the deletion of a file, but rather only its removal from certain articles? Would WP:DCL#Challenging other closures apply in this case? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 21:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi Periputus. I pinged you in User talk:Codename Lisa#Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 10#File:FESFUT logo.svg about an apparent misunderstanding about the closing of an FFD discussion. Any clarification you may provide would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:21, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect File:Joe.jpg. Since you had some involvement with the File:Joe.jpg redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 06:38, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi Peripitus. Just in case you aren't aware, there's been a proposal made to merge PUF into FFD at WP:VPR#Close down Possibly Unfree Files. Since you are one of the admins who regularly helps out at FFD, I thought you might be able to provide relevant comments to the discussion. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:33, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Chudleigh, Tasmania you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Chudleigh, Tasmania you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Chudleigh, Tasmania for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

Hi Peripitus. I noticed that you had prior contact with this user regarding their uploads. They've been uploading several more suspicious uploads lately. In January I took File:MbangOndoGabon.jpg.jpg to WP:PUF, and the user tagged it for G7 deletion. Yesterday, I tagged 1 file for F9 as a blatant copyvio and I took 5 additional suspicious files to PUF. Again, they tagged all 6 for G7 deletion. Looking through their upload history, I saw dozens more suspicious files that are too low resolution and lacking Exif to be believable as self-work. Most of them honestly look like screenshots from streaming video of the soccer games. I'm tempted to take most of the rest of their uploads to PUF when I have a little more time to look at each one in detail.
My concern is that, following your interaction with the user, they continue to upload suspicious files that are probably copyvios. When challenged, they tag those images for G7 deletion, but then they continue with the suspicious uploading. I'm not sure if you wanted to involve yourself again. If my suspicions are correct and the images are copyvios being passed off as self-work, it may end up requiring admin action due to the continuation of the same conduct. Cheers, Nick— Contact/ Contribs 01:45, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Peripitus. 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.

Hello,
Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Peripitus.
A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins). MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 13:48, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Hello, Peripitus.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

The rationale for deletion was "no FOP for art in Japan " but that is not true according to the section titled 第四十六条, which states that copyrighted works are free to use when they are set in places that can always easily be seen (美術の著作物でその原作品が前条第二項に規定する屋外の場所に恒常的に設置されているもの又は建築の著作物は、次に掲げる場合を除き、いずれの方法によるかを問わず、利用することができる), so Japan does have freedom of panorama. I question where you are getting your source for saying there is no FOP in Japan because that is not true, and suggest considering undoing that deletion as well. Tosiaki!

Established policy provides for removal of the administrative permissions of users who have not made any edits or logged actions in the preceding twelve months. Because you have been inactive, your administrative permissions will be removed if you do not return to activity within the next month.
Inactive administrators are encouraged to rejoin the project in earnest rather than to make token edits to avoid loss of administrative permissions. Resources and support for reengaging with the project are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Editor Retention/administrators. If you do not intend to rejoin the project in the foreseeable future, please consider voluntarily resigning your administrative permissions by making a request at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
