Commons:Administrators/Requests and votes

You know there is a <!-- comment --> in the page saying "add new requests at the top please", right? Should it be chronological (as per your move) or reverse chronological (as per the instruction)? pfctdayelise 07:16, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and it's probably me who wrote it ... my mistake, sorry. I'm getting old and confused :) villy ♦✎ 10:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Time to admin someone.

Time to admin User:Martorell? Seems to have gotten enough votes, etc. -- 142.179.108.106 20:59, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Impatience

Sorry for my impatience, but am I able to become an admin now? 7 days, more than 4 votes with 75% concensus on the admin application. Thank you. -- WB 01:43, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Have a great day! -- WB 07:15, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

sorry for writing in my native language

Je te vois rarement t'investir sur le wiki francophone, mais tu sais le faire de façon pointue et efficace, je pense en particulier à ton désamorçage d'un lynchage médiatique d'un grand contributeur ; en ce qui me concerne, je n'en suis ---pas encore;-)))--- là et je veux en fait attirer ton attention sur la dérive en cours concernant les articles courts.

l'essentiel est dans :

http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipédia:Administrateur/Hashar/2&diff=5232839&oldid=5229759

dont j'extrais la phrase qui m'interpelle le je suis prêt à réaliser une extraction hebdomadaire des ébauches n'ayant pas été modifiées depuis un an pour te dire combien je crains que la communauté vote un tel blanc-seing quasiment un plébiscite pour virer les articles de cinq lignes et qui changerait radicalement l'esprit-même de notre wiki que de donner ainsi le pouvoir aux robots. 82.224.88.52 08:37, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Edward Curtis

Hi Villy. You tagged the images in Category:Edward S. Curtis and Edward Sheriff Curtis with {{PD}}. But in this link say that thoose images are copyrighted free use with attribution. I wanna change the old {{PD}} with a new template. What I can do? --RED DEVIL 666 14:12, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I prepare this template is ok for you? --RED DEVIL 666 20:29, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I'm a bit surprised and not sure I uploaded any Curtis picture taken before 1923. But it is possible that I did or that I will. At any rate, thank you :) villy ♦✎ 20:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Bot flag

Hi villy. I'm planning to upload 3140 United States county locator maps in a couple days, as User:David Benbennick. If you want, it might be a good idea to set the bot flag for that account, so the uploads don't drown Special:Newimages. Cheers, User:dbenbenn 01:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

For that amount of pictures, you probably should open a dbenbennbot account and ask for a bot permission on meta, using the appropriate boilerplate at the top of the meta page. Thank you! villy ♦✎ 07:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I made a request at m:Requests for bot status#Commons:User:David Benbennick. User:dbenbenn 08:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Adminship requests

Can you grant User:Joymaster and User:grm_wnr admin rights? They've been listed on the RfA page for more than a week, with more than 4 support votes. Ausir 22:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Angelosante (talk • contribs • page moves • block user • block log • upload log)

Hi villy, you're the admin I could find with the highest level of Italian (surprised to find we have no it-N admins!). I was hoping you could speak to this user and maybe review their uploads. A lot are marked with "no source", so maybe Angelosante's understanding of the Commons requirements is not so good. Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 04:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Red devil 666 is an italian admin as today. I give him your message. villy ♦✎ 12:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

thanks. I make it now. Now you aren't the best italian speaking :-P --RED DEVIL 666 13:37, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Legal opinion

Could I ask you to look at Template:Deletion_requests#The_Olympic_ring. It seems to be quite a complicated situation. Thanks. ed g2s • talk 15:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh I have same question :) - on thi photo Image:Metro Warszawskie.jpg is shown logo of Warsaw Metro (Underground). This logo is Treademark so I think, that it should be deleted? Can you tell me what to do with this, because I saw "derivated work" on pl.wiki based on this photo adn I don't know what to do with it :(

Thanks for answering :P --WarX 16:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I've just posted a message on the topic at the VP at Commons:Village_pump#Trademark_and_copyright. Thanks to both of you to make me realize the issue was becoming really annoying. villy ♦✎ 06:46, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Commons:Administrators/Requests and votes/Cool Cat

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to vote for me in my recent request for adminship. It ended with a final score of (8/10) and hece failed to reach concensus. I value all of the contributions made during the process and I will take a special note of the constructive criticism regarding interacting with users in the user talk space. If you have questions, or requests, please leave a message. --Cool CatTalk|@ 12:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

RfA

Hello! I'm a bureaucrat on this project. Your request for adminship is now pending for 12 days. Our rules state "Nominations usually remain for seven days, for votes and comments. Admin status will be granted by a majority of at least 75% and a minimum of 4 votes". I'm sorry but I don't see your request approaching at least 75% of the votes (support 6, oppose 10). So that I am going to consider that your request has been rejected. Maybe you could re-apply in a few months. Thank you. villy ♦✎ 06:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I see you oppose my meta adminship too... You have no idea how many times I heard "come back in a month for new rfa". I gave up on adminship on en and come here and I get en people (who are not active here) dominate my rfa.--Cool Cat^Talk|@ 13:03, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Inactive admin; imitation logos

Hi villy, I think User:CryptoDerk meets the criteria for "inactive admin" now. (Special:Contributions/CryptoDerk)

Also, I left a comment about "imitation logos" on the VP, but maybe you missed it. So I'll repost it here. I would appreciate an answer about these, because I'm really not sure.

For example, Image:Noia 64 mimetypes real.png, Image:Nuvola apps netscape.png, Image:Nuvola apps opera.png,Image:Nuvola apps samba.png, Image:Nuvola apps acroread.png. These are obviously intending to look like copyrighted trademarked logos. So I guess the real question is, are these derivative works? How far does "derivative work" stretch? There is a deletion request here: Commons:Deletion_requests#Image:Nuvola_apps_opera.png

Thanks, --pfctdayelise (translate?) 04:15, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I see these logos as simple copyright violations, until someone shows me they were released under a free license. villy ♦✎ 22:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Threats to block me

Hi Villy. Do you know if this edit is anything more than an empty threat? Also, perhaps you'd like to take a look at Template:Sxc-warning. Gmaxwell has apparently decided to change the Commons policy on Stock.xchng images. Thanks, User:dbenbenn 01:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyright violations and encyclopediac images by User:Fx sever

Hello, we appear to have a fellow who wishes to ignore policy and uploading process in the action of unencyclopediac images. Please see his contributions, and you'll note that not one of his images have source or copyright information (and the one's that do are copyvio). I was hoping you could delete them in the usual process if he fails to follow policy. He may also need a block as well, since I notified him of his actions on his talkpage, and he went right back at it. I 'm not very active on commons; I came over here because this user is usng these images from link here over at wikipedia.-K' 04:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

SXC again

Hey, villy... glad to see that you decided to hang around. :)

I think you said a while ago you were going to look at the SXC issue again. I was just wondering how the progress on that is going. It seems en:Template:Sxc-warning has been implemented with little fanfare. People will want to know why we aren't implementing it as well. Obviously it would be good for both commons and en.wp to be following the same best-practice on copyright issues. thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 06:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm on it, I swear. I just have so many leagl request to fulfil and not that many free time alas. villy ♦✎ 12:31, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

John Reid

I am en:User:John Reid. I could swear I created on Commons User:John Reid with the same password but apparently I goofed. I didn't give an email, either.

I don't have any contribs (John Reid (talk · contribs)). Is it possible to kill this account and rename this sock to it? I know this is a trivial request but I will sleep better for it. John Sock 08:04, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

It is possible to rename User:John Reid to User:John Reid (old). Then try to create User:John Reid again, and please give your email and watch your password. I'm not sure it'll work though. villy ♦✎ 21:37, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've done it. Renamed User:John Reid to User:John Reid (old) and then created a brand new User:John Reid. Now I have a password for you and I'd like you change *my* email address I mentioned in order to create the account. Now please log into your en:User:John Reid account and ask me for the password using http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Emailuser/Aurevilly That should do :) villy ♦✎ 22:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Supression d'Articles in category "cities in Algeria" car inutiles

Bonsoir Aurevilly:

Je ne trouve pas d’Administrator connecté aujourd’hui !

Je voulais demander à un Administrator d'effacer quelques articles inutiles par ce qu'ils sont répertoriés ailleurs ( là ou il faut ) .

Dans Category:Cities in Algeria les deux articles ...> Articles in category "Cities in Algeria" ...> Constantine, Algeria et Lakhdaria

De l'ordre a été mis dans Category:Cities in Algeria et toutes les images ont été déplacées dans de nouvelles « Subcategories » qui ont le même nom c-a-d (Constantine, Algeria et Lakhdaria ) donc celles-ci peuvent être effacées des « Articles in category "Cities in Algeria" » ... merci beaucoup :)

Et par ailleurs y'a deux catégories qui sont superflues et à effacer aussi ...> Category:Guelma, Algeria et Category:Lakhdaria, Algeria

Contrairement à la ville de Constantine qui existe ailleurs qu'en Algérie (donc OBLIGATION de mettre Constantine, Algeria ) les deux villes en question (Guelma et Lakhdaria) existent comme Oran ou Algiers seulement en Algérie, donc Guelma et Lakhdaria suffisent ( Category:Guelma et Category:Lakhdaria et c'est bien répertorié avec les images !

Récapitulation

Je récapitule donc: y'a 4 éléments dans Category:Cities in Algeria à effacer et qui sont superflus vu que d'autres les ont remplacés au bon endroit ...>

• 2 dans: Subcategories ...> Category:Guelma, Algeria et Category:Lakhdaria, Algeria

• 2 dans: Articles in category "Cities in Algeria" ...> Constantine, Algeria et Lakhdaria ( qui n'étaient que des photos, que j'ai bien répertorié dans des catégories adéquates )

Merci beaucoup de ton aide et bonne continuation !  :)

Problème de mot de passe

Salut à toi villy, j'ai adressé ce message à Aoineko - suivi de sa réponse- et je me demande si tu fais partie des personnes ayant des superpouvoirs ;-) pouvant m'aider dans ce cas:

Bonjour, qui suis-je, ou plutôt qui suis-je sur commons, voilà plus d'une semaine que j'essaye de récupérer mon mot de passe (en fait ayant été absent fort longtemps, je ne suis même plus sûr de m'être inscrit mais lorsque je veux créer utilisateur:pe.nataf, ça me répond que ce nom existe déjà). J'obtiens toujours la même réponse: un mot de passe vous a été envoyé et ..rien (je n'ai pas changé de mail depuis fort longtemps). As tu une idée pour me sortir de cette impasse ?

Il doit y avoir une page sur le site Méta pour ce genre de chose. Seul les administrateur système ayant accès à la base de donné pourrait t'aider. Mais vu que c'est ton pseudo sur wp.fr et qu'il est pas utilisé depuis longtemps sur Commons, ça devrait pas poser de problème. A☮ineko ✍ 30 mai 2006 à 10:47 (CEST)

Amitiés, p-e

Changement de nom

Salut Villy,

Pourrais tu changer mon compte en "Bradipus"? C'est à présent mon nom sur fr: (voir fr:Utilisateur:Bradipus). Merci. Alex lbh 13:37, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Villy: un voyou a tenté de me voler mon compte "Bradypus" sur fr. J'avais changé de Bradypus vers Bradipus en prévision du single login. Voir l'annonce ici.

Problème: le voyou a créé le compte Bradipus ici.

On peut faire quelque chose? Ou il faut attendre qu'il soit éjecté ors de la création du SLU? Alex lbh 15:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
