Blocked user

edit

Hello!

I noticed that when you tag user talk pages with {{Blocked user}}, you seem to not create a heading seperating the last notification prior to the block and your notification, you just append {{Blocked user}} to the bottom of the user talk page. Are you aware of this or has it been unintentional? Jonteemil (talk) 14:10, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is unintentional. Taivo (talk) 14:11, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Okay, then you know for the future :). Jonteemil (talk) 15:05, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Apparently you can subst: {{Blocked user with header}} and the template will come with the heading. Jonteemil (talk) 18:59, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Friendly reminder: Don't forget to subst: the template as Special:Diff/931992207. Jonteemil (talk) 11:24, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Block request of StalwartLabs

edit

Hi,

I am writing in response to the block request related to my user account "StalwartLabs." I would like to clarify that the edits I made were in connection with an open-source project, specifically our mail server software, which can be found at https://github.com/stalwartlabs/mail-server This project is entirely open-source and has significant recognition within the community, evidenced by its 5,000 stars on GitHub. Additionally, it ranks on the first page of Google search for relevant terms like "mail server software." I believe these factors demonstrate the project's notability and relevance under Wikipedia's guidelines for popularity and verifiability, and I respectfully request that this be taken into consideration in relation to the block request. Thank you for your time and understanding. StalwartLabs (talk) 16:17, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done. I did not block the user. Instead, the user is renamed. But I deleted speedily the logo due to non-notability. The company is not mentioned in en.wiki. Google search results do not matter here. Taivo (talk) 20:02, 15 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

DR's categories, again

edit

Hi, as I already wrote I've noticed that you have opened many other DR's on FOP cases without putting them in the relevant /pending category, but putting them only in the /deleted category when the DR is ended, thus excluding non admin users from checking if the DR was right or not. Could you please stop doing that? As a non admin myself I help on a weekly basis to check the DRs, that doesn't mean to challenge them always, but very often giving more infos about the author and so on, things that a non-mothertongue can't normally find. I think that commons benefits from the knowledge of every one of us. Friniate (talk) 11:04, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK, I will not categorize DR-s after being closed anymore. Let them be uncategorized. Taivo (talk) 12:08, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
That is not what I asked, of course. I really can't understand, what's the issue with the categories? Friniate (talk) 12:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Uploading the Leningrad Codex to Commons

edit

Hi, I saw that there aren't too many high-resolution images of the Leningrad Codex, found at Category:Codex Leningradensis and was thinking about uploading the pages to Commons.

Question about something

edit

Good day Taivo, it's me KhantWiki, the user that you had blocked for a month, my block has expired on December 2. I conclude that I have learned everything about knowledge and information I needed about Wikimedia Commons, I have sent a apology to the user who's name is Ninjastrikers, who reported about me to you on Commons:Administrators' noticeboard, I also wants to send apologies to you either way. I now righteously claim and portray that I'm a editor with experience, knowledge, and expertise now. I now, know how to differentiate between right and wrong, copyrighted and non copyrighted materials and photos. I suppose that the matter has been resolved now and no further warnings, blocks and sanctions are needed on my account as I will at all cost, avoid uploading any copyrighted work and materials of any person that has protection to it. I guarantee and promise you that I will give a credible credit to not upload any non-free, copyright violations, unclear licensed images taken from elsewhere. I had been learning and obeying the rules of Commons:Licensing, there's nothing that you had to be compromised about when a user is learning and obeying rules and policies made by Commons. I have concluded that there are many images in public domain in my country that I can upload without any copyright protection. It may not be that necessary, but here's my question, Taivo, before there were any sanctions on my account, when I searched up my name KhantWiki on Google, my name always pop up with the Wikimedia Commons, but I don't see it now, is it perhaps because of sanctions and blocks on my account? I want my name and account to pop up on Google like the way it was before the sanctions. Is there any way or advice you have for this or this is normal? I have already signed my name on both Commons and Wikipedia. I also share concerns about my English Wikipedia page, too. There are no sanctions or blocks placed on my account of English Wikipedia, but I suspect that it also appeared on Google before, when I have searched it up, it disappears, and only my Burmese Wikipedia account pops up when I search my name on Google. The most clear evidence that I have for the disappearance of my name on Google is Wikimedia Commons. I'm looking forward to your answer. KhantWiki (talk) 15:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the block of another user

edit

Regarding this user, you had declined the unblock request, and while I agree with your reasoning, I can't help but find it a bit unfair that the user got blocked for such a rather minor offense without any prior warning and without having ever broken any rules before.

Unionofpeopleni

edit

I gave Unionofpeopleni 48 hours to respond before I would impose a block. They had no recent edits, so it isn't like they were obviously ignoring that warning. You blocked them well before that time expired (about 16 hours vs. 48). Please, if you haven't, look at what I wrote both on their user page and on COM:AN/U. I do feel that the early block reduced the chance of meaningful dialoguez. I'm not asking for an unblock, but since this one is now "yours", I want to make sure you understand the context: this may well be simple ignorance rather than anything willfully wrong, and if they ask for unblock, I hope you will proceed along those lines. - Jmabel ! talk 16:40, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

  OK. I blocked the user because his/her remaining uploads seem to be copyvios as well. Taivo (talk) 19:24, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I imagine they are. But on the one hand a one-week block on a very occasional user probably does nothing, and on the other they could possibly become a good contributor if they get a basic grasp of copyright & free-licensing, which I believe they probably lack. - Jmabel ! talk 21:18, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that's probably true: simple ignorance. But generally uploading copyvios after warning results a block. You said "They had no recent edits" – well, because you deleted them as copyvios. Only now I understood: you did not consider them (on 11th and 12th of February) recent edits. Taivo (talk) 21:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

At least please delete my name on the page. 00ay (talk) 11:18, 27 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
If you remove my name every part of the page, what do you lose?
Or what does wikimedia lose? 00ay (talk) 15:00, 27 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
If you tell me how a court can find 4chan trolls, I will accept everything what you...

Quality of wikipedia admins are too low... 00ay (talk) 06:47, 28 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker) @00ay: (1) the fact that someone hasn't gotten back to you within 8 hours does not mean you are being ignored. All Commons admins (including both Taivo and myself) are volunteers. We all sleep. Most of us have paid jobs or other responsibilities. Plenty of us go days at a time without logging on.
If you are the original uploader: you made a very weird decision by visibly watermarking the photo (something usually done only by people super-protective of their copyrights) and then releasing it into the public domain.
There is no particular reason Taivo can help you with this issue more than someone else, and he is not a member of the VRT (nor am I), so neither of us is officially involved with confidential correspondence to prove someone's identity. If you want to do something that proves your identity and asks for a courtesy deletion (or redaction) you should correspond with the VRT, at the email address given on their page. They are the people designated to look at things like identity documents. - Jmabel ! talk 16:25, 28 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

Korshavn

edit

You didn't notice that Korshavn had been updated and suddenly had no less than 4 images? Hjart (talk) 20:28, 17 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

I'm surprised, but I really did not notice that. Now I restored it. Taivo (talk) 20:41, 17 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi Taivo, this DR is regarding a simple duplicate file: The uploader of the duplicate file (File:Yamamoto what do you say america.tif) was User:かたうら (see deletion log on the page [1] ) and not the "US National Archives bot" as you mention in the DR and. I put a redirect on this place at the processing of the duplicate file. The redirection is globally not in use ([2]). So, in my opinion it is safe to remove this redirection (per G2 from User:かたうら) and close the DR. What do you think?--Wdwd (talk) 08:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

File:SIDT LOGO.png

edit

Hi. Sure, the file is being used on a draft article but it hasn't been edited since 2019 and the use is clearly promotional regardless. I don't really see why it wouldn't qualify for speedy deletion at this point. Or are we suppose to just wait indefinitely for a company to remove their own SPAM upload from a dead draft article that's clearly not going to main space so we can get rid of promotional material on here? Adamant1 (talk) 14:50, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Regular deletion request is allowable. Taivo (talk) 14:52, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
No offense, but I wasn't inquiring about what alternatives there are. I asked why it wouldn't qualify for speedy deletion given the circumstances. I'm sure you get the difference. So can you answer the question? -Adamant1 (talk) 15:03, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
The file cannot be deleted on that reason, because it is used. Taivo (talk) 15:05, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
Not to argue about it, but other admins have deleted files I've nominated for speedy deletion under similar circumstances and Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion doesn't say anything about in use files from what I can tell. So what are you basing it on? --Adamant1 (talk) 15:07, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
COM:INUSE: "A file that is in use on any other Wikimedia Foundation project is automatically considered to be useful for an educational purpose, and is therefore in scope". Taivo (talk) 15:13, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
OK. I assume you know that also applies to a regular deletion request. Thanks for the answer though lol. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:18, 18 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Unblock Request

edit

Hi Taivo,

I'm an Outreachy applicant working on the 'Cat-a-lot JavaScript Gadget Development' project - T389317. While adding setup instructions for my microtask, I was mistakenly blocked by the abuse filter for adding external links.

My contributions are related to my project, and my mentor has guided me to add these links as part of the development process. Could you please review my block?

My block ID is **#26786**.

Thank you for your time!

Regards,

Adiba Anjum Adiba anjum3 (talk) 16:57, 19 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

  Not done. You are not blocked and have never been, your block log is empty. You have not edited anywhere except Commons. You are free to edit. Happy editing! Taivo (talk) 19:30, 19 March 2025 (UTC)Reply

Photos of sculptures by Ernesto Ornati

edit

Hi Taivo, I reverted your edits on Paolo Monti's photos because PD-Italy doesn't apply to artworks. The 20 years trem is for "simple photos", and in this case, there are artworks by Ernesto Ornati who died in 2022, so his work is still under copyright.

Implausible? Really?

I think that your decision to speedy delete the Albanian page could have been done without the use of pejorative or prejudicial language. You might also be interested in this discussion where your decision has directly facilitated out-of-process deletions. Laurel Lodged (talk) 15:40, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

I do not understand, which page you are talking about. Albania is not deleted and I have never deleted that page. Taivo (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
Sorry for being obscure. I was referring to Category:Albanian Archdiocese of the Orthodox Church in America (Moscow Patrirchate). Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:09, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
This was category redirect with text #REDIRECT [[Category:Albanian Archdiocese of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA)]]. If you like, you can recreate the page. The page was eligible for speedy deletion, because redirect creator Ыфь77 nominated it for deletion on the creation day. Taivo (talk) 16:15, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
I think that you may have been played. It looks like an intermediate step was deliberately created so that the "error" could be corrected by you. Or maybe I'm getting paronoid. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:20, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
(talk page stalker) In any case, I'm pretty certain "Patrirchate" is not a word, and the misspelled category name should not be recreated. - Jmabel ! talk 18:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

SD removing

edit

Why did you remove SD templates (1, 2) instead of approving it? Isn't the reason provided not obvious for you? 201.150.118.26 22:39, 23 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

No, the reason provided was not obvious for me. On the contrary, these were in my opinion quite good redirects. Taivo (talk) 14:13, 24 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

Siin on üks näide pehmelt öeldes lollakast kustutamisest. Kui inimesel on õigus välja anda raamatut, siis on tal ka õigus ka selle raamatu kujutisi levitada. Mis me sellega teeme? Kruusamägi (talk) 10:33, 26 April 2025 (UTC)Reply

  Not done. Vaata, kas saad hankida VRT-loa kunstnikult. Kui ei, siis jääb kustutatuks. Taivo (talk) 16:05, 26 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
Kõike saab teha. Aga meenutan, et see kustutamine on nii poolelaruline, et igaüks, kes selles osas selgitust vajab, ei ole pädev otsustama failide kustutamise üle ja tuleks sellest ametist vabastada. Kruusamägi (talk) 20:44, 26 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
Ma olen vahepeal tuvastanud, et mis pilt seal oli ning samuti nende kahe illustraatori nimed. Ma küll tunnen tugevat vastumeelsust, et käituda täieliku debiilikuna ja hakata neid isikuid taga ajama, kuigi raamatud välja andnud isik (kellele ilmselgelt kuuluvad kõik asjakohased õigused... või kuidas täpselt ta need raamatud kirjastaski) on ise selle pildi Commonsisse lisanud. Teeme seega äkki kokkulepe, et ma hangin selle VRT loa, ja sina vastutad selle eest, et järgmine isik, kes mõne Pärnitsa foto kustutamist nõuab või kustamise teostab, jääb administraatoriõigustest ilma, kui AÕ valdkonnas täiesti ebapädev isik. Sobib? Kruusamägi (talk) 00:11, 29 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
Ei, ei sobi. Administraatoriõigustest ilmajätmist ei saa meie kahekesi otsustada, see on kogukonna otsus, kus meil kahekesi pole häälte ülekaalu. Palun hangi VRT-luba ja ma saan kaanepildi taastada. Taivo (talk) 10:41, 29 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
