accidentally calling your closure into question

I recently nominated File:Monica Elfriede Witt in uniform.jpg for deletion, citing your closure of this deletion discussion. I took your closure as precedent in the nomination, but it's apparently not as cut-and-dried as I thought and instead I've led to your closing being questioned. I'm not an expert on the matter, just basing my understanding on previous decisions, and would definitely like a consensus on this; not asking your to come down one way or another, but would you mind looking in on the discussion? Cheers, Fourthords | =Λ= | 20:38, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Fourthords: Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, I don't think I can be much help here. My close was based entirely on the lack of a source making it impossible to verify any possible routes to it being PD; I don't have any useful knowledge about the contractor issue in this discussion.

Grif Teller photo

Hello, I'm looking for a print of Mass Transportation (Army-Navy Game) by Grif Teller and I'm wondering about the photo you uploaded. Was it just downloaded from Michael Froio's site or do you have a hard copy of it in some form? Thank you in advance! Shana3980 (talk) 23:16, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Shana3980: Unfortunately, I don't have a hard copy; the version on Commons is indeed from Michael Froio's site. (I can only wish for a hard copy - it looks like originals are around $150 on eBay.) It fortunately is a very good scan, and should be fine for printing up to around 18"x12" without any noticeable degradation in quality. If you do need a larger scan, I can only suggest contacting the PRRTHS. Best of luck! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:39, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Great suggestions; I'll try printing first. Thank you very much! Shana3980 (talk) 23:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cape Cod

Hi, you he moved some pictures to Category:Unidentified locations on Cape Cod, even though it has been clearly tagged with category of location, for example Barnstable County or Falmouth, Massachusetts , et ctr , why do moved pictures still to unidentified location, did I place pictures to to not proper category do you think? EgorovaSvetlana (talk) 22:33, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@EgorovaSvetlana: It is your responsibility to place your images into the most specific categories - and only the most specific. For example, if you place an image in Category:Falmouth, Massachusetts, it should not also be placed in the parent Category:Cape Cod. You have placed a number of images in very broad categories like Category:Cape Cod, which means other users like me end up having to recategorize them. If the images are properly categorized by location (at least to the town level, if not more specific), you can remove them from Category:Unidentified locations on Cape Cod.

sorry did not think that brought category should be excluded, now got it, thank you for an explanation EgorovaSvetlana (talk) 22:47, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Revert to edit on the Village Pump

Hi. It looks like the discussion you reverted is still showing up in the list of titles for some reason. I have zero clue why, but I thought you might want to look into it and fix the issue if there's a way to. Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 07:12, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Adamant1: It looks like Commons:Village pump/topic list is updated every 6 hours by a bot, and my revert happened to be just a few minutes after it had been updated. The bot removed the header on its next run, so all is fine now. Best, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you deleted this as CSD F10, did you note that the file history contained a far more useful nighttime image of a bridge and historic building in France? It seems the original uploading user uploaded a blurry mask image to make it look like the image was useless so it would be deleted. IronGargoyle (talk) 03:13, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IronGargoyle: Thanks for letting me know. I've undeleted. Not often you see someone ask for a courtesy deletion of a decade-old upload. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:00, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
Sorry for the time you spend for my demand. I was 20 when I publish and I remark only now that the photos were downloadable by everybody in native and supergood quality, and that's what annoy me. I'm trying to find out if I can remove this function, otherwise I would like to stop access, so delete them from wiki. I know CC license is given for life! KyLauren (talk) 16:56, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@KyLauren: The implications of the license, including that it is irrevocable, are clearly listed when uploading. You cannot force the Wikimedia Commons community to delete your files. Generally, policy is that such "courtesy deletions" are only granted in the first 7 days after upload. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:08, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but it's written black on white that it's possible to remove the file on demand in the website I quote on the other conversation that an oser user share to us.
Thanking you in advance to take it in consideration. KyLauren (talk) 00:29, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, only files uploaded within the last 7 days are guaranteed to be removed at the request of the uploader - please see Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion#G7. After that, it is the decision of the Commons community whether to keep or delete a file. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:09, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Tayn Castillo.jpg

Dear colleague, you have SD'ed this picture per G10. However, it was in use at Wikidata, d:Q124758991, which makes this file ineligible for speedy deletion. I suppose it would be reasonable to revert the deletion. The best, Andrei Romanenko (talk) 21:38, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Андрей Романенко: The image was uploaded as spam – see the quickly-deleted en:Draft:Tayn Castillo by the same user. Note that COM:INUSE is about scope-related discussions and generally is not relevant to G10 deletions.
The Wikidata page should be deleted as well given the lack of notability. The IMDB page appears to be a hoax; I cannot find any evidence that Castillo was actually in any of the productions listed there. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:35, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you are right. I proposed the deletion at WD. Andrei Romanenko (talk) 23:10, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Secondary

It might be a good idea to rename Category:Washington Secondary now that it's ambiguous (and I'm working on an article for the New Jersey line). Incidentally, the USRA final report identifies one other line by that name, ex-Penn Central, in the vicinity of Washington, Pennsylvania. I don't know anything about it. Mackensen (talk) 13:10, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mackensen: Good call, it's now at Category:Washington Secondary (Connecticut–Rhode Island). Looks like the Pennsylvania line is one and the same as the en:Chartiers Branch - see here. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:35, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Useful ad

Would it be OK to undo deletion of https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Indian_sandstone_paving_slabs_for_patio_garden.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 ? Or maybe there were deeper unfixable problems?

This file was useful, see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:surface%3Dpaving_stones&curid=49376&diff=2701015&oldid=2648116 Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 06:45, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mateusz Konieczny: The source was given as a commercial site with no indication of a free license there, so it would also be a copyvio. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:11, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, that was not rescuable then (if it would be deleted as copyvio then I would not bother you) Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 10:11, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
