== An old version deleted in 2022 is displayed ==
[[File:Evelyn Salgado Pineda.jpg|180px|right]]
I don't know if this can be replicated by other users, but for me the File:Evelyn Salgado Pineda.jpg <u>when it is displayed at 180px</u> displays an old version that was deleted in 2022 [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=File%3AEvelyn+Salgado+Pineda.jpg] : [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg/180px-Evelyn_Salgado_Pineda.jpg].

: {{ping|Asclepias}} I see the correct file. This almost has to be a caching issue on your machine. Do you have this if you look with a different browser? - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 19:43, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you for looking. That is strange.

I don't know how there can be a cache issue with an image deleted in 2022 that I had never looked at before recently. The browser should not have the ability to find a version deleted two years ago. But you're right, it must be a cache issue of some sort, given that you see the recent image. Maybe the image will fix itself now that someone else looked at it. I'll post an update if it happens.  -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:44, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

::::That raises an intriguing technicality.

== how to modify a map range for an animal ?  ==

Good evening, So I'm in Québec 3 hours from Montréal (a bit more north) and for the last 10 years, we've been seeing turkey vultures. However, the map on the Turkey vulture wiki does not seem to indicate that our range has turkey vultures in the summer. I've never contributed to wikipédia, but I would love to help since this animal is one of animals showing signs of the climate changes. (mostly due to how, in my father's younger days, there was a LOT of snow and never seeing these birds. Nowadays we see them every summer when it's time to fill the freezer with the farm stuff) [[Special:Contributions/70.81.176.44|70.81.176.44]] 00:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
: By "the Turkey vulture wiki" I'm guessing you mean [[:en:Turkey vulture]], the "Turkey vulture" page on the English-language Wikipedia. (If you meant something else, please clarify!) And in that case, you must mean [[:File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg|this map]] which, interestingly, was last modified less than 2 weeks ago by {{U|MPF}}.
: There are basically three possibilities here; for all of these, providing a citeable source for the expanded range rather than just anecdotal evidence would be good, but might not be necessary.
:# contact {{U|MPF}} and see if they can/will help you. 
:# put in a request at [[:Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop]].
:# create your own version of the map. This one may be a little tricky though. To upload content at all, you need to create an account, but because you are not an established user, you won't be able to overwrite someone else's file, so you'd have to upload your version with a different file name. You would link back to [[:File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg]] using {{tlx|derived from|Turkeyvulturerange.jpg}} and ideally add {{tlx|derivative works|YOUR FILE NAME HERE.EXT}} to [[:File:Turkeyvulturerange.jpg]]. Then you could go back to the English-language Wikipedia and propose changing the article to use your map (or just make the edit in the article yourself).
I'd recommend going with one of the first two possibilities: replacing existing images with derivative works is relatively advanced stuff, not usually where anyone starts their involvement with Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia. 
: In any case, I recommend creating an account (and providing your email address as part of setting up the account: it will not be shown publicly) if you are going to become at all involved here. It makes it much easier for other editors to communicate with you. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 01:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
::It's a bit of a difficult case, as we have to rely on published information for maps. Submit your sightings to your local bird club (remember to give them accurate location data!), and eventually (yes, it'll be slow!) the information about the expanded range will work into maps published in bird field guides, etc., and when they do, we can revise our map here. I'll check other recent maps though and see if there is anything that already gives more up-to-date information than our map has.

:::I've updated it from iNaturalist observations; this can be risky for some species, but with a conspicuous easily-recognised species like this, it does give reasonably safe results by taking the denser observations while ignoring outliers (the mapped observations will also be weak in sparsely-populated areas with few observers like southern South America). - [[User:MPF|MPF]] ([[User talk:MPF|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:45, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered [[Special:AbuseFilter/153]] by trying to cross-wiki upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg photo as a new user. The photo you tried to upload is smaller. Usually when someone uploads a smaller photo, it is a copyright violation taken from the web. You have also triggered that same filter by trying to cross-wiki upload a png image as a new user. Such uploads of png images are not allowed at all. You indicated each is your own work. Usually when someone uploads a png image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of each per [[COM:HR]], including any metadata, but it may be judged too complex to be under [[TOO]] in the country of origin, so you (or the photographer or designer) may need to license them on your official website or social media or send permission via [[VRT]]. Also, any png image will look fuzzy when scaled down (due to design decisions discussed in [[phab:T192744]]) or jaggy when scaled up, so you may want to upload an svg or jpg version, too. If you use [[Special:UploadWizard|our Upload Wizard]] instead, you should be able to avoid that filter. Also, we do not have profiles here like [[:en:User:HardikKansara106/sandbox]].

The information used must be for personal, associative, or professional purposes only; any use for commercial or advertising purposes is excluded''"
So I think usage in this context would be allowed, but I'm not sure. Is there a specific license category for Wikipedia that corresponds to this kind of authorization/restriction?

== What to do with thousands of bot copyvios ? ==
'''In short:''' What is the best method to request speedy deletion of thousands of copyvios uploaded by a bot?

Context: [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:Le nouveau testament. Mise en scène de Jean Laurent Cochet - photographies - Daniel Cande - btv1b9064252m (001 of 107).jpg|This deletion request]] requests deletion of all files in a category of 107 copyvios (107 non-free photos by professional photographer Daniel Cande) uploaded to Commons by a bot Gzen92Bot. The photos are obviously not free at the source. (And that was also already known from previous discussions). Looking at more uploads by that bot, it can be seen that it systematically inserts false claims of CC0 on almost everything it uploads. Sometimes, it falsely tags CC0 files that are public domain by expiration of copyright, which is already bad behaviour but at least it's not too damaging. Often, it falsely tags CC0 files that are not free, which is much worse and potentially much more damaging.

Size of the problem: Searching only for photos by the same professional photographer Daniel Cande, it can be found that the bot created hundreds of categories and uploaded probably tens of thousands of non-free photos by that photographer. It can be expected that looking at more uploads of that bot thousands more copyvios of non-free works by other authors might be found.

Suggestions?: What could be the best practical method to speedy delete those thousands of bot copyvios? Placing copyvio tags on tens of thousands of files, flooding the speedy deletion maintenance category, may not be the most practical method. Another method could be starting a series of hundreds of mass deletion requests, for example each listing the files in one category. But considering the size of the problem, even formatting one or two such mass deletion requests every day, that could take practically a whole year to go through all of it. Also, deletion requests can sometimes wait several months before an administrator closes them, which is not practical for copyvios that should be speedy deleted. Another idea could be to simply notify the problem on the Administrators' noticeboard and let them deal with it as they want. Any other suggestions?

:::From discussions in 2012 and 2013, it seems likely that the photos by Daniel Cande were indeed noted "domaine public" on Gallica at that time. They were probably noted like that until circa the mid-2010s. However, it does not matter that Gallica had ever placed or not public domain notices on those photos on which it never had the right to do so. The matter was examined in [[Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Daniel Cande|this DR]] in 2017 (if one goes to the essential and skips the secondary discussions that take most of the page). So, it's not necessary to search the internet archives in cases like that. Searching Commons, there are hundreds of categories with photos by the same photographer uploaded by the same bot recently.  -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:57, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

::Although that is not necessary for a large number of uploads by that bot. Through previous discussions, Commons has developed a reasonable knowledge and consensus about the actual copyright status of many Gallica fonds. It is established that Gallica or BNF cannot release in the public domain works on which it never had any rights (other than a limited permission to simply display those works on its website). That is the case, for example, for the photos by Daniel Cande, that the bot has uploaded to Commons by the thousands and grouped into some 350 categories. It's the same thing with photos by Joël Verhoustraeten, grouped into some 100 categories. It does not matter if Gallica had ever placed or not a public domain notice on works on which it never had the right to do so. Therefore, there is no reason to delay the speedy deletion of such known copyvios, which should be deleted ASAP. By contrast, works that Commons has established might have been validly released to the public domain by Gallica at some point in the past are, for example, photos by Roger Pic, because that photographer ceded his rights to BNF. The bot grouped them in some 350 categories. I would rather keep the photos by Roger Pic, but the difficulty for them might be to prove if they had public domain notices, now some ten years after the removal of those notices from Gallica. It can be noted that apparently the bot started to mass upload Gallica files to Commons after Gallica had already removed most such public domain notices from its pages. They were not CC0 anyway. The bot operator said that there are still inconsistencies between the present non-free notices and some technical parameter, but he should check the notices and should get familiar with past discussions on this subject and with the public domain tags of Commons and understand what CC0 is before launching the bot on mass uploads.  -- [[User:Asclepias|Asclepias]] ([[User talk:Asclepias|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:05, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

== Hadley Airfield ==

Hadley Airfield was not in New Brunswick. I grew up on TEXAS AVE in South Plainfield. Hadley was my next door neighbor which put Hadley in South Plainfield, New Jersey, Hamilton Blvd. There was a big field between us, but nothing was on it but dead grass. My father was a pilot. He didn't fly Hadley's planes, but he did fly bi-planes. I have a picture somewhere of him stepping up onto the wing. His goggles and helmit, I think my brother has possession of them. I was soooooo sad to see a hotel there and Hadley gone, torn down. A lot of history was made in So. Plainfield by Hadley. That area sure has changed. My Grandparents live across the street on Texas Ave, originally UNION AVE. My Great-grandmother was the original owner of that property. She got it for $5.00 down and $1.00 a month, with only a daughter, who became my Grandma, when she married Frank DeFellipo. To fly commercial, Dad moved us to New Hampshire shortly after Grandpa died. I made trips to Grandma house When I grew up. We have to accept change and  some times it is sad. Such is life.

Das Bild, das Sie hochladen wollten, ist kleiner und Sie haben angegeben, dass es Ihr eigenes Werk ist.

Wenn Sie das Bild nicht erstellt haben, lesen Sie bitte [[Commons:Licensing/de]], um zu erfahren, warum wir es nicht akzeptieren können, und lassen Sie den Bildfotografen/-designer es auf seiner offiziellen Website oder in sozialen Medien lizenzieren oder senden Sie das Bild und die Genehmigung per [[VRT/de]] mit einer Durchschrift an Sie. Wenn Sie keine konforme Lizenz erhalten, kann das Bild dennoch in Übereinstimmung mit [[:en:WP:F]] in die englische Wikipedia hochgeladen werden, da [[COM:FAIR/de|wir hier kein Fair Use zulassen]].

If you legitimately own the copyright to this photo, you can do that now to get it undeleted. However, you appear to be the ''subject'' of the photo, so unless it is a selfie, copyright would normally remain with the photographer, unless it was explicitly transferred.

:{{Reply to|ANBALICARION}} Hola.
:1. As explained by Usuario:Marcelo on your talk page at es.wikipedia, any image of an escudo is correct as long as it is conform to the text of the blazon.
:2. The decision to use an image on es.wikipedia is a decision by the users at es.wikipedia. You can discuss that matter with other users on the talk page of the article at [[:es:Discusión:Torregamones]].
:3. On Commons, you placed the .png copy of your image under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, but you released the .webm copy of the same image to the public domain with a CC0 dedication. And the .jpg of the same image at [https://www.ayuntamiento.es/torregamones/ ayuntamiento.es] is all rights reserved under the legal terms of that website. That all seems somewhat contradictory.
:4. It is quite possible that you are D.A.B.L. as you apparently claim to be. If so, still, to help keep the files on Commons, it might be useful that you provide evidence (see [[Commons:VRT/es]]) that you are that person, and that you personally drew that particular digital drawing (the particular image of the .jpg, .png and .webm), and clarify who owns (or owned) the copyright on that particular drawing and what is its actual copyright status.

Hi! I have been searching for an image (to put on Wikipedia), searching both Wikimedia Commons and Flickr.

Hello,

I have been having a problem recently.  When I try to upload an image that I have taken myself, to an article, it doesn't seem to fully upload.  It just takes me back to the add media page.  Then I try again and it says that the file already exists and I cannot use it. It's in Wikimedia commons when I search it but I am still not allowed to use it. Could you tell me why this is happening and how I figure out my issue?

Thank you!

:::Hi @[[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] no, I went in to edit an article on English wiki and add a picture and when I tried to upload it there, it just kept reverting back to there being no image successfully uploaded. " am not allowed to use it": I then went to the Commons and the picture appeared there but I could still not utilize it in the article that I wanted to.

::::{{Reply to|AndrewDeAngelo}} Once an image is uploaded to Commons, a second copy of it must not be uploaded to Wikipedia. So it's a good thing if Wikipedia did not allow the upload of a duplicate.

== Uploading an image from a university work ==

Hi, as the title says, am I allowed to upload and use an image from a university work ?
As the work is published freely on the net I'm not really sure if it's allowed or not.

Thanks in advance [[User:Martinlievre|Martinlievre]] ([[User talk:Martinlievre|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:01, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
: {{ping|Martinlievre}} neither "a university work" nor "published freely on the net" give any clue to the answer. 
: Commons accepts only material that is either in the {{w|public domain}} or [[COM:L|free-licensed]]. Be aware that this is less that 5% of what you will find on the Internet. If you don't know how to determine whether a particular image qualifies, please provide a URL and whatever else would be needed (figure number, etc.) for someone to find the image in question and try to give you an answer. That will work much better than any effort to describe the image. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 20:11, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

== Help with using an image from French Wikipedia on English wiki ==

Hi,

I am wondering if someone could help me with translating an image from the French version of [[Wikipedia:Verdun Auditorium]] this is located in the “histoire” section of the French site and it’s the first one displayed. 

If Someone could provide me some guidance, that would be amazing!

: {{ping|Gojetsgo55}} I'm not sure what you mean by "translating an image." I don't see anything there with text as part of the image. If that was just a false cognate from another language (e.g. Spanish ''trasladar'', "to move"), and you just mean you want to use [[:File:Construction de l Auditorium de Verdun.jpg]] in the English-language Wikipedia, that image is already here on Commons, and you can use in en-wiki it exactly as you would use any other image on Commons.  - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] !

:{{Reply to|ExclusiveEditor}} The first upload was to nl.wikipedia. You could try to ask administrators there to look at the page history to know who attributed to this file a OTRS template on nl.wikipedia before it was transferred to Commons. However, [[:File:Carl Schlechter (profile).png|the other version]] of the image, apparently first uploaded to en.wikipedia under the filename Schlechter.png, is tagged as public domain with PD-old, possibly incorrectly since the author is not identified nor the place and year of first publication. If the image is from circa 1910, it does not meet the condition of [[Template:PD-old-assumed|PD-old-assumed]]. Given that it is sourced from a website by a person with a name similar to the name under "author" in File:Schlecht.jpg, it is possible to hypothesize that the OTRS communication came from that person, who might have meant to say that he agreed to the use of the image. It might be copyfraud, maybe involuntarily. You can ask at [[Commons:VRT/Noticeboard]] about ticket 2007040710018191 to know what it might have said.

:{{ping|Zarefal}} this is your first-ever edit (deleted or otherwise) on this site (Wikimedia Commons}}. You have no edits (deleted or otherwise) on the English-language Wikipedia. What site is your question about? I would suggest asking it on that site. - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 05:02, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Zarefal}} you [[Special:AbuseLog/11123522|triggered]] an automated filter that stops new users from uploading small resolution images. Just to be certain, this image is completely you own work as you have claimed? You created the artwork entirely yourself or held the camera and took the photo?

== How can I add proof of permission to upload image? I have written permission from the photographer ==

Hello, I have written permission from a professional photographer to upload an image of a musician. I am not sure how to add this information in and the image is being contested:

"File:Dego, Marc and Ian of 4hero in Dollis Hill Reinforced studio by photographer Mark Alesky.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests"

I do not know the photographer but I contacted them to see if they would be ok with me uploading the image and they have said yes as long as there are credits provided.

== A lot of duplicates ==
A lot (if not all) of the files in this category (uploaded in 2022): [[:Category:Collectie glasplaatnegatieven Den Helder 1905-1940 RAA]] and it's subcategory are duplicates of files already uploaded. I believe all of the older files (uploaded 2018) are in this category: [[:Category:Media from Regionaal Archief Alkmaar]]. I asked the uploader [[User talk:MichellevL (WMNL)|on her talk page]] but got no response (yet). There are over <s>600</s> 400 files and I don't want to put a duplicate template on each and everyone of them by hand. Can this be fixed automatically somehow? Also I don't know which ones (the 2018 or the 2022 files) should be kept as the latter are just slightly larger files.

Edit: Also, I did a lot of categorization on those older files, I hope that's not going to get lost. --[[User:Larshei|Larshei]] ([[User talk:Larshei|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:28, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

== Naming convention of geochronological categories ==

Hey, I have a question: I noticed that for the of the geochronological unit categories, there seems to be a regular category and a "stratigraphic" category (e.g., [[:Category:Cretaceous]] would be the regular one while [[:Category:Cretaceous System]] would be the stratigraphic one), and wondered if the content of these two categories should be placed in one category instead.

Now, I understand that while geochronology and stratigraphy are "equal" to each other, they're not exactly the same; geochronology refers to non-visitable periods of time, while stratigraphy refers to visitable rock formations that refer to certain points in time. Still, it feels like files in the stratigraphic categories (which end in Eonothem, Erathem, System, Series, or Stage) aren't covered as much when they're split in two like that. So I'm asking, can I can unify the appropriate pairs of categories under the geochronological name (using the naming convention of example category above compared to its stratigraphic counterpart) should I find instances of them? — [[User:Alex26337|Alex26337]] ([[User talk:Alex26337|talk]]) 18:15, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
