About the copyright of uploaded files

A user left a copyright-related comment in my discussion section. Can you tell me which of the files I uploaded is the problematic one? -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 18:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

 Done there.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 18:23, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Let me clarify this. It happened because I missed the copyright template when I uploaded those files. -- Sangjinhwa (talk) 18:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

@Sangjinhwa: Thank you for the clarification. Please be more careful.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 13:43, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

You left a note on their talk page regarding their uploads. I'm now suspecting they are part of this sock farm. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:41, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

@Hammersoft: Thanks. Please feel free to add it to that page in a new section on top with evidence.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 13:42, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Happy holidays

Hi Jeff G., Happy hollidays. Ottawahitech (talk) 20:08, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

@Ottawahitech: Thanks, you too!   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:36, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Portal link

Hi Jeff, sorry to be a bit dense, but I’ve looked and can’t work out what a portal link is. I’m wondering if I’m looking in the wrong place, or perhaps my permissions are a bit too low. I recently uploaded three sets of streets and completely messed up the naming - so I was hoping to fix the issue myself without having to go through every image individually! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock2: You are not yet a filemover+, so you can't use it yet. Please read more carefully, and try the RenameLink gadget, or tell me exactly what to change from/to.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 15:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that was what I had asked before - I can move files, so wasn’t sure if I had that permission or not. I need to move all the files in Category:Dun Road, Austral to the correct spelling. Also, I messed up Category:Winterhead Street, Austral. Furthermore all the wrongly named files in Category:Sixth Avenue, Austral need moving.

Apologies for the error, I usually don’t make these sorts of mistakes - at least I try not to. It would be nice to be able to correct my own errors, how does one apply for filemover+ permissions? Understand if this is not possible, of course.

Thank you for providing the tool, by the way :-) and also any assistance you can give me! FWIW, I’m trying to take extensive photographs of South West Sydney, an area experiencing massive growth and thus change. Also an area overlooked by many Sydney-siders! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 15:29, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock2: You may make rename requests using {{Rename}} or our RenameLink gadget, but you may not actually rename files. Ok, I'll bite. What's the right spelling of Category:Dun Road, Austral? How is Category:Winterhead Street, Austral messed up? What are the right and wrong names of files in Category:Sixth Avenue, Austral? Is it just your files that need renaming? I need specifics, regexes if you have them. I live half a world away.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 01:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

It's OK, I have the rights now so I can fix this :-) Thanks anyway. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 04:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

P.S. no need to bite, I don't imagine I taste all that nice. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 04:50, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock2: I was biting the vague bait you put above. :) Congrats on the autopatroller right, but it's not filemover.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:00, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I’m not sure what baiting you are referring to, if it appeared that was what I was doing then I apologise for any confusion I may have caused. I genuinely wasn’t sure what rights I had, I guess it should have been obvious in retrospect but at the time it wasn’t to me. I have FileMover+ rights now. Peace :-) and genuinely, thank you for creating the mass mover tool - it’s really useful and I am really thankful for it! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock2: Congrats on being an autopatroller and filemover now. See Special:ListGroupRights in general and Special:UserRights/Chris.sherlock2 in particular. I did not write this script, I copied it from the work of Legoktm and Perhelion at User:Perhelion/massrename.js and documented it and my uses of it at User:Jeff G./massrename. Sadly, m:User:Perhelion/userstatus.js does not show that you have filemover group membership; hence my confusion above at 11:00, 2 January 2024 (UTC). I wish Perhelion would come back, I miss him.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 10:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks :-) what happened to Perhelion? I know how it feels to have someone leave a project, when I discovered SlimVirgin had died on Wikipedia my heart was broken. I hope you are OK. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 12:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock2: I don't know. He went on holiday 09:16, 17 October 2019 (UTC). I am OK, thanks.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 12:59, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Why are you not an admin on commons?

Hi Jeff G., why don't you run for admin? Is there some issue I am not aware of? I believe you'd make it easily.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:54, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

@Paradise Chronicle There have been previous RfAs. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Uhh, oje. Ok, that's what I didn't know. Still thank you very much for your helpful edits at the help desk and noticeboards. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 06:52, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

@Paradise Chronicle: You're welcome.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 10:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

About my Newly Upload File

Hi, Mr. JEFF G., I want to know if the file I used to upload as I undergone a lot through exchanging emails with Wikipedia Commons and the Organization owner of logo and with that being said the organization that I exchange emails with they agreed to used their organization's logo in Wikipedia article the File:Miss Intercontinental logo.jpg and have tickets of wht the Wikipedia Commons volunteer and they said that I will wait what's the next step?? Do I need just to wait to the file to be uploaded here on Wikipedia? Or what?? Thank you and your response are highly appreciated. Take care ❤️ ~Rc ramz. Rc ramz (talk) 14:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Rc ramz: First of all, please read the first paragraph of en:H:PIC#Linking without displaying; I don't want to have to defang your addition of that file a third time. Secondly, VRT Agents need permission communicated directly from the copyright holder for each file (in this case from MIO); forwards without RFC822 full internet headers are not trustworthy. Thirdly, in the Licensing section, you have "{{self|cc-by-4.0}}", indicating that YOU are the copyright holder; from your posts, I doubt that - "{{cc-by-4.0}}" would be more believable. If you are not the one communicating with a VRT Agent via email, who is, and do you get carbon copies of the messages? Also, this site is "Wikimedia Commons" (with an "m" in the middle of the first name). We serve files for Wikipedias in 326 languages, plus hundreds of other projects. In addition, from a logo design perspective, why do they need all that whitespace around the content (20% horizontally and 35% vertically; in other words, only 52% content)?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 14:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the organization send me their pictures logo and yes I have carbon copy of their approval on via email. They said that I have their approval and attached the photos of their logo. Thank you Rc ramz (talk) 15:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Rc ramz: Thanks. What did the Agent last write?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 17:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
