Blacklist

I see that you whacked the blacklist on uploads today. I am going to guess that it was a PITA. Do you see a means to have better warned/prepared/stated that you had hit the blacklist? Or a means to have warned you that you were going to do so? Did hitting the blacklist have you abandon your uploads?  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:10, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: It was indeed a PITA, and stopped my work. I raised the issue in Commons talk:British Library/Mechanical Curator collection#‎Blocked by spam filter. Andy Mabbett (talk) 11:15, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. The blacklist and its ability to block url shorteners is vital, however, I am guessing that we need to alert people to that waaaaay earlier than a fail at upload time, and it is unrecoverable. Think that I will poke a notice into phabricator.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:05, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Follow-up. Was the message that you received that simple? It should have also stated the problematic domain, well that is the default message. If yes, can I ask whether you are using language en-gb? I ask as I have expanded the base message to have some more helpful (hopefully more helpful) text, so that may be why the expanded text is not showing; though wouldn't explain why no domain name was mentioned.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:42, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
The full error message was "Transfer failed [1] : /The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site." You can try this yourself in Flickr2Commons. My Commons preferences are set to "en" not "en-GB". AFAICT, this has not previously been an issue with uploads from this rich source, using identical boilerplate text. Andy Mabbett (talk) 13:22, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

WTF indeed. I'll ask around, but that was not me. - Reventtalk 20:45, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Ah, I finally found the relevant old revision.... I can only guess that that revert was somehow a mistake on my part (I edited the page a couple of times right after). I have no idea (since I apparently did not use rollback) how I managed to do so, but it was not intentional. Sorry. - Reventtalk 20:51, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Duplicates

Hi Andy. I just processed a dozen or so parliamentary portraits. Another uploader tagged Fæ's versions as dupes (like this). I had to reverse the dupe processing and manually remove the dupe tag after deleting and redirecting Charlie Awesome's versions. I hope he doesn't continue this. I do a lot of dupe processing and know to reverse the process with these, but another admin might process them and keep Charlie Awesome's versions instead. Daphne Lantier 03:02, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

OS 2500

Hi, I've started to populate Category:Ordnance Survey 1st series 1:2500, which is an incomplete map of Britain as it is limited to city areas. Navigating the map is hard as the numbering is not obvious, so to help that I'd like to get volunteers interested in presenting the map sheets in a summary for the city/area. I started with Gallery:Ordnance Survey 1st series 1:2500, Map of Birmingham and its Environs, but not knowing Birmingham is a bit of an obstacle for me. Maybe you know a Birmingham ethusiast that might enjoy this jigsaw puzzle? One complete gallery page, along with solving how to do the layout (spacer tiles using File:Blank.jpg seems to work), could then be used to encourage more volunteers.

I'm not planning to mention the 2500 series in notifications until it's more populated, maybe in a few weeks as each city is likely to take a day to upload. It strikes me that these maps may be ideal to discuss at a local editathon. :-) --Fæ (talk) 10:07, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@Fæ: Sure, I'll put the word out later (when people are home from work) and have a go myself when I get chance. I'll also add some categories. There's some good stuff there. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:10, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. I've sorted it out into sheets, but I'm unsure about how to present these in a nice way to show how they join up. I've also started Gallery:Ordnance Survey 1st series 1:10560, Map of Berkshire, though the 10560 numbering works differently there are no sub-maps, so the maps run left to right (sheet level) with haphazard breaks, I think. --Fæ (talk) 11:14, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
@Fæ: Structured data may resolve this - we can have properties for "next item above" "next item west" (etc). In the interim, we could use Template:Geographic location. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:18, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
Could be good, though it's a bit far down the specific rabbit hole for me. :-) A geomapping enthusiast would probably shape these up pretty quickly, and might have smart ideas for how to use the maps too. --Fæ (talk) 15:22, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: Sorry, I've no idea (I assume it's the right way up in whatever you're using to edit it). BTW, normally, I'd have just left it, and added a "request rotation" tag. But as it is about to feature on en.Wikipedia's home page, so that's not tenable. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:41, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Upload limit

Bot

Hello, your bot has been blocked in accordance with the Commons:Bot policy in reference to "All bots running on Wikimedia Commons must have advance permission to do so. Permission is needed whether or not the bot requires a bot flag." Even if you are not requesting a bot flag, you must get advanced permission to run the account. ~riley (talk) 23:03, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

@~riley: The account has never, and is not intended to be, run as a bot on this project. The block is therefore without foundation. Please be sure to mention that in your unblock notice. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:06, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
You are running an account with the word "bot" in it and tripping rate limits. I have already blocked it and I will be happy to unblock it if you operate it in accordance with the Commons bot policy as I have linked above. Why you thought this was a good idea, I have no idea. ~riley (talk) 23:12, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
@~riley: It only tripped a rate limit because it was not auto-patrolled (as my main account is). As stated above, The account has never, and is not intended to be, run as a bot on this project, and has never been used contrary to the bot policy. There is no prohibition in the bot policy on non-bot accounts using that string in their name; on users having a secondary non-bot account, nor on users using non-bot accounts with tools like Flickr2Commons. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:15, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
COM:UPOLICY and en:WP:UPOLICY both state accounts with the name "bot" fall under inappropriate usernames. You are more than welcome to create a normal secondary account like everyone else. ~riley (talk) 23:19, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
~riley and @Pigsonthewing: , I like to point out my alternate account Artix Kreiger 2. I don't know & have the programmjng knowledge for operation of a bot and I use it for tasks outside of bot tasks as they require it to be operated in very very specific tasks. However, I use it for mass repetitive edits such as cat-a-lot, flickr2commons, as well as general cleanupu of my uploads. Most of my manual edits come from my main account. Artix Kreiger (talk) 12:22, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
Artix Kreiger Yes, thank you for demonstrating an acceptable alternative account for semi-automated to automated edits. This is what I mean by a "normal secondary account". ~riley (talk) 19:04, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Audio & Wikidata

Moved from Template talk:Wikidata Infobox#Audio

Hi. Mike has suggested my talking to you, as you've worked with audio files. I have been concerned with how accessible our resources are, particularly after having run two programs on producing audio files ideally helpful for people with partial and high visual impairment. Audio files that these programs have produced can be found at Wikipédia Falada on Wikipedia in Portuguese. After an initial workshop with people with visual impairment, at an NGO called Laramara, I have preliminarily found out that: (1) audio files are indeed helpful for people with visual impairment, especially because (2) automated softwares bug on reading Wikipedia (particularly when images or symbols are present, i.e., entries on mathematics) and (3) image captions are not sufficient for a clear understanding. I have also found out that: (4) if it was the case that automated softwares did a good job automated reading would be preferred to human-read content, as humans tend to be too "theatrical" when producing this kind of content; and (5) though audio resources are good they are mostly un-accessible on our projects, as people with visual impairment are unable to get to the play button, particularly on infoboxes. On a specific early finding, I have been told that (6) Wikidata is "completely un-acessible" for people with visual impairment, but I am not sure this assessment is not to some extent also associated to the fact that Wikidata editing can be hard to newbies in general, though it is probably the case that Wikidata editing can be particularly hard on people with visual impairment. I have become especially interest in accessibility on Wikipedia as because of new laws that were passed recently in Brazil I have had more students with disabilities, especially with high visual impairment, and I have been wondering what they can get from Wikipedia education programs and what we can get from their experience to improve the projects.

Thanks for the note, Andy. @Joalpe: Yes, the play button is hard to get to for screen reader users like me. I just download the file and play it in a media player, but I realise that might not always be possible for other users. Maths symbols can be read out using screen readers with MathML; JAWS reads them natively while NVDA can do so with Math Player. As for Wikidata, I don't have any problems editing it, but I find it's sometimes not intuitive what to do when I'm stuck (which is true for all users). Graham87 (talk) 13:51, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Old names

As far as I know, we don't want separate categories that are just different names for the same thing. E.g., Category:Bombay just redirects to Category:Mumbai. Commons:Categories says "In practice, it implies that you'll associate a single subject with a given category." That's why I redirected Category:Birmingham Nature Centre to Category:Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park, it's just an old name for the same thing. I know ships are an exception for some reason. --ghouston (talk) 23:28, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Trump Baby Balloon.jpg

Hi Andy. I have no idea which images were in the category but I kept them because the balloon was somewhat in the distance, so not the point of the image. It looks as if someone else has removed the images from that category, and the category does not of course record additions to and removals from itself. Can't help, sorry. Rodhullandemu (talk) 17:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Rodhullandemu: Great. So now it's a case of hunt-the-needle-in-the-haystack to find valid images, deleted out of process by an unidentified admin. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:26, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
I agree it's unfortunate that we seem to have lost two images that I considered defensible but the images may not have been deleted, just removed from that category. I guess some sort of search might turn them up but I can't remember the filenames now. Sorry. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:39, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi! It has come to my attention that you have removed a warning which says that a file doesn't have enough information about the source or license conditions. Nevertheless, it seems to me that this information is still missing and I have restored the tag. You may either add the required information or, if you think that required information is already given, put the image up for a deletion request so that it won't automatically be deleted. Thank you.

On Commons talk:Media of the day you have nominated a few still images. Please note that this page is for audio/video files. You do not have to nominate still images, you just choose them, although an image you are going to chose as POTD must have featured picture status – please just follow the instructions on Commons:Picture of the day/Instructions. --jdx Re: 12:38, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Try clicking on the link. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:13, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
I did, thank you very much. To me, it appears to be a service for creating and sending messages. It does not appear to own those messages, so it doesn't fit under audio files by source (which is for audio files grouped by the entity that provided them to Commons). It seemed to fit under audio files by software, but you disagreed, possibly because Vocaroo is a service or website rather than software. So, to rephrase my question, what's your view of what Vocaroo is? --Auntof6 (talk) 16:22, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Rahaf Mohammed files

Hello Andy,

I don't understand why you keep deleting my videos and screenshots thereof about Rahaf Mohammed. All those videos are licenced under a Creative Commons 3.0 licence that is allowed on Wikimedia Commons. What am I doing wrong? Please explain. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 11:37, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

@Nederlandse Leeuw: I have not deleted anything. I have suggested that certain files be deleted, and neutral admins, who have agreed with me, have done so. The flies you mention have been uploaded to YouTube by people who do not own their copyright. Commons:License laundering explains. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:15, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
Ah ok, thanks for explaining. I'll try to be more careful in the future. Greetings, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 22:41, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Creator templates

Hi Andy, I noticed you created Creator:Emil Ludwig Schmidt and I just wanted to let you know that I have removed this step from my workflow. After discussing at the Women Techstorm with Multichill and Amir, the added overhead that these files give to Commons is not worth the effort, since the info is dynamically created now with SDoC. I was also creating them with much less overhead anyway, just using Magnus' creator tool. I took this off my d:userpage because of that. Thanks for creating Schmidt's item! Jane023 (talk) 10:56, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

I didn't create Creator:Emil Ludwig Schmidt; I moved it from Creator:Emil Schmidt; then fixed the latter to reflect its actual usage. All SDoC does at present is hold captions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:32, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
Ah OK and yes that's true about "just captions" still. If a creator template is once created I tend to leave them alone and reuse them too. SDoC has launched with captions, but the idea is to mesh with Wikidata. So the structure for artists (as I have come to understand it) is to 1) make the Commons category 2)create the Q5 if it's not there and add the category and 3) make an item for at least one work before going back to Commons and adding Mike's Wikidata infobox to the category and the Qid to the file for the work. When this is done, then even without a creator template the creator will show up in the work file info as if one were there. I expect (not sure about this) this will happen with SDoC : for files of works without wikidata items, this dynamically created creator summary will appear there too (because otherwise you need that template).

File:'Robinson Crusoe' - Albert Goodwin - 1906.png

Hello Andy. Eehm, Pigsonthewing uploaded a new version of File:'Robinson Crusoe' - Albert Goodwin - 1906.png. Apparently, you didn’t notice my separate (and linked) upload File:'Robinson Crusoe' - Albert Goodwin - 1906 (frameless).jpg, did you? I created this file directly in GIMP from the source, hence also the other file extension. — Speravir – 18:33, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

@Speravir: I didn't, no; but the version with the frame is not free. Thanks for rectifying it, though Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:42, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
Ooh, so “my” version should be deleted I guess? BTW I have another idea: What do you think about [http://abload.de/image.php?img=rcrusoe-agoodwin_edity5kbi.jpg this edited version]? (Side remark: I will later delete this file from this space, again.) There I applied automatic contrast adjusting in GIMP. So, I could update “my” JPEG file, and we could provide two different versions. — Speravir – 19:11, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
@Speravir: No harm in having JPG and PNG versions. Your version looks good, but I don't have access to the original artwork has the better colour match. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:29, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Iverson Granderson

Don't you have any concern that Heritage Books is basically a vanity press? As I quoted from their website, the way you get a book published there is that you buy a ton of copies yourself to re-sell. It's pretty much the same as self-publishing, the only difference being that you get a publisher's name on the binding (and a reasonably professional job of binding, etc.). - Jmabel ! talk 16:15, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

You're selectively quoting their website; and that is not the same as self-publishing. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:19, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
Are you saying that we handle a vanity press differently than we handle self-publishing? Or are you saying that Heritage Books is not a vanity press? - Jmabel ! talk 20:14, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
If you believe it to be either a vanity press or a self-publishing, you should present evidence to that effect. As yet, you have not done so. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:17, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Pigsonthewing,

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use your help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons.

You wrote "no, it *is* a screenshot", but removed the property screenshot. That contradicts itself. --Killarnee (T•R•P) 15:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
I did not "remove the property screenshot". I removed a statement that said the screenshot depicts a screenshot. Would you say that a photograph "depicts a photograph"? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:21, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
No, a statement should help you find a picture. eg all screenshots get the statement "screenshot". This picture too, because it's a screenshot. But okay, it's your photo. --Killarnee (T•R•P) 16:44, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
That's not what "depicts" is for; who made the image is immaterial. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:02, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Florence Camm stained glass

Hi,

I encountered this situation previously. See "Illustration and other things" discussion on my user page. "No need to take them down. Current policy considers these "slavish copies" without serious creative input (anyone could take the photos, with near-identical results). In the future, use Commons:Flickr2Commons. A bot will confirm the license so it doesn't matter if the license is changed later or the picture deleted. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 10:53, 16 August 2018 (UTC)" Given the previous discussion, I thought stained glass images would be ok to use. I will remove this image from the Florence Camm article. I will remove any image that an editor thinks is a copyright violation. MauraWen (talk) 14:41, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

@MauraWen: Yes, but they are slavish copies of copyright works, not of public-domain works (such as medieval stained glass)). To be clear: I have no doubt of your good-faith intentions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:54, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on May 30, 2020

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I’d like to invite you to our group’s first Virtual Meeting on Saturday, May 30, 2020. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Please take a look at the meeting page and add your name to the list of participants if you’re planning to attend.

Hope to see you in a week! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:47, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Special:Diff/421348135 (“s 97 fix indenting)”)

Your edit summary fails to mention that you also added a vote. To make it easier to track changes to the page, perhaps you could have mentioned that in your edit summary. Or, even better (since your indenting changes were complex), split it into two edits.

I don’t know what the “s 97” in your edit summary means. Brianjd (talk) 13:49, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

I appreciate you

Category:Imperial Camel Corps Memorial

Hi,

Thanks for returning Category:Imperial Camel Corps Memorial to Category:Monuments and memorials to soldiers in the United Kingdom. It was my understanding that this memorial was a regimental memorial to all those of the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade who fell in action during their service in the First World War. All the other memorials in the Category:Monuments and memorials to soldiers in the United Kingdom are to individual soldiers. Hanton01 (talk) 06:15, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

brianmc

Hey Andy, hope you're well iDangerMouse here - #wikinews on IRC wanted to know if you knew if Brian McNeil passed away or heard anything to confirm the sad news. Thanks - I'll read your talkpage later when you get time. If so condolences to all of us, Brian is a big loss. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.158.180.17 (talk) 02:52, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't have any concrete news, but I see a lot of people posting condolences on his Facebook page, starting on July 7. Very sad news indeed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Now confirmed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:31, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Hyphens and African Americans

I ran across the discussion Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/04/Category:Black Africans and it seems perhaps related to Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/07/Category:African-American cemeteries. Apparently on enwiki, a hyphen is used for African-American descriptors, and I received a backlash for not wanting the hyphen in African-American cemeteries. I was surprised. In my life I don't run into the hyphen. Then I read AP tackles language about race in this year’s style guide

Meanwhile I discovered Category:Sites in the United States connected to African American history where the cemeteries fit. What do you think about all this? Thanks, Krok6kola (talk) 05:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
