Re:[edit]

Sorry, I was unaware of that policy and massively marked the files of this user. In the files I placed it should have been marked for what it is: copyright infringements and not a presumption of it.

In fact I'm concerned that most of the uploads of this user are copyrighted material. I already warned him about this on Spanish Wikipedia and I had no response. Best,--ProtoplasmaKid (talk) 14:01, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Hey ProtoplasmaKid, no issue, I was managing expectations with regard to my actions.

If it as you say, then adding the information to one of the existing DRs will expand its scope. Always worth pinging the nominating person, especially where they are an admin, to raise the issue higher in management, and stating what you have done elsewhere.  — billinghurst sDrewth 14:15, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

"Stella Dallas (1923 edition)"[edit]

This was ineffective as a title. There's no need to disambiguate anything where nothing exists to disambiguate from. We wouldn't disambiguate this way for anything else, so why does there need to be an exception for novels? Do we need Category:Stella Dallas (1925 edition of 1925 film) instead of Category:Stella Dallas (1925 film) too? PseudoSkull (talk) 15:22, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

My apologies as I actually did find another version here, which did not seem to be online before. Pretty cool; it actually has shots from the movie as images. PseudoSkull (talk) 15:31, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
(ec) Why is it ineffective? The issue that we have had is that Commons and WD have been hijacking our categories for the works, when they belong to our editions, so it is naming clarity so they don't. So an image may be in categories for three editions, but not a fourth; there may be no images in the English edition, however, the American edition has images. Re movies, if you see a director's cut it is a different edition, and you may wish to separate images from a director's cut from another cut.  — billinghurst sDrewth 15:35, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

USS Omaha video[edit]

Why did you delete my video File:Declassified Complete UFO footage - USS Omaha - San Diego - July 15, 2019 - Temp upload.webm as "license laundering"? The video is a work of the US Navy which is free from copyright (as tons of military videos that are uploaded on Commons, including similar UFO videos). The fact that it is a watermarked version makes no difference, the person that watermarked it doesn't own the copyright of a Navy produced video (and he doesn't claim to). The Pentagon confirmed this video was filmed by the Navy here [1], if you warned me I could have easily explained this. --Loganmac (talk) 07:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

If you believe that it was incorrectly deleted, please lodge a undeletion request, see Com:Undeletion request. We can all claims things, however, it is the source and the evidence that matters. If you have a navy source and copy then that would be accepted. I have no idea about the veracity of your claim, or the video, so please get a consensus for its undeletion.  — billinghurst sDrewth 07:37, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
The Pentagon itself declared it as a work of the US Navy, hence in the public domain, it's not "MY" claim. --Loganmac (talk) 01:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Please rename[edit]

Hi, for a more complicated task help of an admin is needed. It depends the Stadtwappen der Stadt Duisburg.svg. Because the German "Wappenforum" concluded to a naming system, it had been renamed in 2013 to DEU Duisburg COA.svg. Later in 2013 the original uploader did not like that and it was renamed back. Nowadays both names are used, one directly and the other one as a redirect. The original uploader Ludger1961 is not any more activ since long, so he cannot be asked - and we must not take his opinion into account any more.
Please, would you change the function of the both names, that the now redirect becomes the name, and the now name will become a redirect? After that, we can continue with housekeeping and correcting. Thank you -- sarang사랑 12:46, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

@Sarang: That German WP, or any wiki, has a naming system is separate from Commons renaming it. That the uploader has a preferred name and that it is compliant with the naming policy AND that a redirect works, is usually sufficient to keep it in place unless a community consensus says otherwise. What is not currently working with the current arrangement? I am not provided with the tools to meet one person's preference, they are to do the community's work where a consensus exists.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:16, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
