Hi Taivo. You obviously made a mistake by putting the deletion request to the subpage of another deletion request. Can you please fix this? --Leyo 09:16, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

File:Becuna 81.JPG

I would not oppose deletion if we have a better version of those posters/stickers. Doesn't have to be from Becuna. Link them and I'll support any deletion request. Otherwise I'll oppose due to "poor is better than nothing". --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 14:16, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

mistake on your part?

Here, [1] you closed the discussion. I did not have time to respond. Furthermore, as can be seen, there is no evidence that the person indeed has permission to upload that image. Hence how can you keep the image? (Lilic (talk) 02:10, 20 May 2013 (UTC)).

I did not close the discussion. I am admin in Estonian wikipedia, not in Commons. I have no right to close any discussions in Commons. I simply voted. I believe, that my vote is correct, and I explained that. Taivo (talk) 07:35, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Voting on deletion requests

It is very important to keep this in mind: deletion debates are no votings. Just arguments count.  Keep or  Delete implementations without meaningful statements get ignored. --High Contrast (talk) 18:02, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for mentioning. I read carefully Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems/Archive_36#User:High_Contrast to learn, how to vote in deletion requests. Taivo (talk) 11:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

File:Rajju Bhaiya talking to Krant.jpg

Mr Taivo! Kindly see this page. Mr Sitush has some doubt about my integrity. May be his personal opinion. I do not deny for that. Every body has got the freedom to write here. But personally attacking any user is not good. I have uploaded another better file on wikicommons today titled File:Krantji & Rajju Bhaiya.jpg which is a different photo of the same persons viz. I & Prof.Rajendra Singh (Rajju Bhaiya). Kindly see it and then suggest me what to do in future. Whether I should upload here any more file or not. You can see my User talk page for how many times I have been harassed here. Excuse me for the trouble. Krantmlverma (talk) 07:52, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Please note my objection to this deletion here, in case you have anything to add/clarify. Ultra7 (talk) 18:43, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

 Comment Ultra voted on DR "keep" due to correct licence. I voted "delete" due to tiny blurry image. The file got deleted. Ultra created undeletion request. This was rejected. Taivo (talk) 10:23, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

PA removed

Hi Taivo, I have removed the word "evil" from your comment[2] as it was a needless personal attack. If some disagrees with you, it does not mean that he or she is evil. --Túrelio (talk) 15:06, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Sinterklaas do you actually know what it is?

you might wanna deepen more into the Sinterklaas festivities in The Netherlands and or Belgium. this is a picture from me as being a "black jack" I know it's diifficult to expain this in english as others might not know this festivity in the Netherlands and or Belgium around the 5th of december this total festivity runs ussually 4 weeks before the 5th december. not to be mistaken by christmas and santa claus, here by a dutch page about the sinterkaas festivity's: [3] so I myself don't see the problem It seems that you either maid this request because you either don't understand what Sinterklaas is or feel like something else is up with the pictures, I did ask that before anything is happening to these pictures to please first ask what is not understandable about my explanation about myself as zwartepiet (Blackjack this is a direct translation in English which is difficult to explain) if you read the sinterkaas page you might understand it better, if not I do urge you to ask what is not understandable. then to be ignorent and not ask it and think you just can delete it.

File:Eesti Animafilm Tallinn (7952374756).jpg

Hey again Taivo, more help requested here. I know what the plaque is portraying, but any information you can give on who holds copyright over the drawings as seen in the cartoon would be great. This page (albeit in Lithuanian) states that Elmar Jaanimägi (the animator) died in 1937. So if he held copyright over his works, and this is a faithful reproduction of his work, then the underlying work is probably in the public domain. But any help in determining if this is the case would be great. Cheers, russavia (talk) 18:28, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

As always, a pleasure to do business with you. russavia (talk) 19:49, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Deletion nominations

Why are you so sure photographs nominated for deletion are not taken by the owners ??

 Keep I asked Stephen to upload his photographs to Wikimedia after the University of Sydney discontinued personal web pages which had hosted his excellent Web page on miscellaneous preserved X10 Class locomotives for the NSW Government Railways

Have you nominated all his photographs ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpeterswald (talk • contribs)

I wanted, but ćould not, because they are all nominated for deletion by others. Taivo (talk) 15:08, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Hint --> VisualFileChange

Hi Taivo! I noted your activity in deletion requests (DR). It might interesting for you to know that some processes can be automatized by using Help:VisualFileChange.js - especially (but not limited to) for preparing mass deletion requests regarding uploads from 1 user with 1 deletion reason. In this context, Help:QuickDelete (a gadget which can be enabled or disabled in your Preferences) eventually might be of interest to you too. Gunnex (talk) 22:33, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

In addition: Some of your DR are stuck, no timestamp given. Doesn't happen if you would use VFC. See Category:Deletion requests - No timestamp given. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 03:44, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

It seems to me, that I understood, what was wrong. I will avoid that mistake in the future. (But most gadgets need javascript enabling. This is complicated in my computer.) Taivo (talk) 19:56, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

File:Portrait Andrus Ansip.jpg

Hi mate, could you please check the source of File:Portrait Andrus Ansip.jpg and do a {{Licencereview}} on it. I can't find this photo on the site, let alone find anything that would state that photos are under a CC licence; perhaps I am merely overlooking it. Help appreciated. Cheers, russavia (talk) 07:13, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

I did not find this photo on this site and the only licence in the site is "© Riigikantselei" ("© State Cancellery"). Taivo (talk) 11:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

It seems that until November 2011 the site was licenced under CC-BY-3.0-EE, so it's all good. Thanks for help. russavia (talk) 21:30, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Adminship

Hey Taivo, how ya doing mate? Have you considered doing an RfA here on Commons? I've seen enough of your "work" that I know you have a fairly good knowledge of copyright issues, and are always willing to help editors when they need it. And of course, we could always do with more admins here on Commons to pitch in and do cleanup when required. What do you think? russavia (talk) 19:39, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

That would be useful. I accept the nomination. Taivo (talk) 19:56, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Great stuff, I have gone ahead and nominated you at Commons:Administrators/Requests/Taivo, you just need to accept the nomination there. Cheers and good luck. russavia (talk) 20:04, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Taivo, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and Commons:Deletion requests), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons on irc.freenode.net. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Piltide kustutamine

Jõudu uues ametis! Märkuseks nii palju, et nagu näha, oled juba omaks jõudnud võtta põhimõtte, et väike eraldus ja EXIF-andmete puudmine on piisav põhjus kustutamiseks. Kui üleslaadija väidab, et tegu on tema oma tööga, siis tuleks minu meelest lisaks kahtlusele leida siiski ka tõend autoriõiguse rikkumise kohta (Google'i pildiotsingu abil või kuidas iganes). Selle kahtlase väärtusega põhimõtte pärast kustutati üksvahe näiteks see pilt. Mõtteainet. Pikne 17:37, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Jah, mõtlesin järele. Aga ega ma paljalt selle pärast ei esitagi pilte kustutamiseks. Ma arvestan ka pildi väärtust Commonsi jaoks ja üleslaadija muud kaastööd. Taivo (talk) 20:35, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it was not a duplicate. I made a slight mistake in edit summary. The file was simply smaller than alternatives. But I tried to find, where the files are used in fr.wiki – I could not find.

Category:Alyn hospital

This is strange to keep incorrect capitalization forms of titles as redirects to a same-spelling title. Our search engine is caps-smart (and not caps-sensitive) so no one will know of or ever use the "secondary" form. It is not like cases of fifferent characters, where keeping a varying option has a point. The above page is purely superfluous. Thanks, Orrlingtalk 12:07, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

I imagined, what happenes, if I make a photo about that hospital. I upload it into Commons and try to categorize. I add category "Alyn hospital" and look from preview. Red link, that means, nobody has never photographed (or at least categorized) that building. And I create the category. But if this kind of redirect exists, then I notice: strange, there exists redirect into Alyn Hospital! This is quite surprising for me, that the hospital is written with big H, although ... yes, I know, such things happen. Taivo (talk) 12:19, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

No one uses categories by manually typing their full names from guessing. Today we have the upload wizard, the auto-completer search box and the category tool where all the suggestions that are available pop up as you start typing. By this, even when you type "alyn hos..." you'll authomatically get Alyn Hos. This makes the redirect page eccessive. If I were in that situation trying to pick the Alyn Hospital from the box and there suddenly I were offered two different ones, I would be confused and would not like it. If it had a different spelling, like "Alyn" and "Alin", it would have a big point, but when it's only mis-capitalization pages like this are normally deleted. Do as you believe.. Orrlingtalk 17:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

You wrote: "No one uses categories by manually typing their full names from guessing." Well, I do. Auto-completer search box does not work in my computer. Taivo (talk) 08:56, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Seattle.png

Hello, I saw that you've deleted this picture, but why? It's uploaded at Pixabay with a CC0 license in public domain and even the English wikipedia says that all the files that are uploaded overthere are in pulic domain. - Supercarwaar (talk) 12:49, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't want to be rude, but can you answer my question? Supercarwaar (talk) 10:01, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

This flag was too complicated for public domain. It was over threshold of originality. Some state/country flags are also complicated, but they can stay in Commons, because (it differs from country to country) generally they are descripted by law and law is not copyrightable. City flags are generally not law and so copyrightable. There are nevertheless some city or county flags in Commons. Some of them are too simple for copyright and some come from countries, where city/country flags are not protected with copyright. No evidence was given, that city flags are not protected with copyright in Canada.

The file may come from Pixabay or from other source with Commons-compatible licence, but that case the licence is simply wrong. The flag-drawer had no right to publish the flag under Commons-compatible (or actually under any) licence. It is copyright violation not only in Commons, but also in Pixabay and should be deleted from there also.

But thank you for pointing my attention. I try to explain my deletion request closures better in the future. Taivo (talk) 11:06, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Okay - Supercarwaar (talk) 05:45, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Closing DRs

I see you're using {{DeletionHeader}} and {{DeletionFooter}}, the latter with its optional parameters. These confused me a little as I have never seen them before -- you will find that all of us use {{Delh}} and {{Delf}} without parameters.

While {{DeletionFooter}} with its parameters is a neat way to close a DR where DelReqHandler doesn't work, the opportunity for confusion might make it less than the best choice.

By the way, you may find User:Jameslwoodward/Commons notes for administrators useful. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:44, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Urgent File:Andrej Babiš.jpg

Hey Taivo,

I'm wondering how to find out why File:Andrej Babiš.jpg had to be deleted, as there has not been any discussion. If it was an obvious copyright infringement, then I understand. But as the file is very urgently needed in important Wikipedia articles covering the Czech elections, it would be good to know. If there was any doubt if the file might be okay, then please restore it immediately and let's discuss it in the regular way.

Thanks, --PanchoS (talk) 03:16, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

User Brzlík presented the file for speedy deletion with reason: "Copyright violation. The author is not Jakrys, but Czech photographer Tomáš Loutocký. Check metadata and contact him by email at [email protected] (http://portfolio.loutocky.com/92941/contact". I checked the metadata and found, that Brzlík was here right. So I deleted the file immediately. Taivo (talk) 07:11, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics gold post boxes

Can you please expand this closing statement, so that it actually refers to the issues I raised? Or at the very least clarify whether or not the removal of the misleading and inaccurate text re-introduced in this edit would count as an "improvement"? Ultra7 (talk) 17:54, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I am totally agree with Rodhullandemu. Read once more his comment. But you are welcomed to improve the page. Remove misleading text and write, what is correct. But – do not write long texts. Articles belong to wikipedia. Consider to make similar article in en.wiki. There you can write longer and explain all more thoroughly. Taivo (talk) 08:36, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

I don't need to read it again - he was wrong. Sole author rights are not a 'myth' on Commons. But I see I am wasting my time here - you're making points here that I already answered in the DR at length. I'm not interested adding to or correcting in Wikipedia - I'm here to help uploaders/re-users of Commons media - which is understandably seen by Wikipedia editors as not the primary purpose of their project. Whether you realise it or not, most of the text that was removed would not be accepted by Wikipedia because they would classify it as 'unencyclopedic'/trivia, or require verification in reliable sources (they really don't like it when you tell them to verify something using just a picture and their eyes). I will remove the misleading text, but I leave it to you, or anyone else in the 'community' who wants to claim ownership of the gallery, to figure out how to explain a gallery of 100 images to potential uploaders/re-users in ? words, without making the same mistake as Hedwig in Washington did, of thinking that the garbage that is in Wikipedia is ever either comprehensive or even accurate when it comes to understanding media hosted by Commons.

Вопрос

Здраствуйте, это правомерно?[4]----6AND5 (talk) 21:57, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Думаю, что в общем правомерно. Мне кажется, что в нынешнее время такого энклава не существует (если существует, тогда я ошибься и в карте всё более-менее правильно). По-моему, картов Армении можно использовать три типа: во-первых, официальные (советские, со всеми энклавами), во-вторых, упрощённые официальные (советские, но вообще без энклавов), и в-третьих, фактические (показавшие, какие территории Армения контролирует). Было бы лучше, если в Коммонсе были бы карты всех трёх типов. Taivo (talk) 10:58, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

Спасибо за ответ, я не видел эти правки, ведь это уже вандализм? [5] и что я могу сделать в этом случае?--6AND5 (talk) 11:15, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Я не считаю это вандализмом. Фрай заменил карту Армении. Теперь на этом странице находится карта первого типа, а раньше там была карта, которая не соответствовала ни одной из трёх типов. Taivo (talk) 15:32, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Нет раньше там были 2 карте, он удалил 2-ю карту, что мешает, чтобы эти 2 карты были там? смотрите, что он сделал, сперва удалил свою версию[6], а потом удалил мою версию, добавляя свою версию[7], это уже по-моему вандализм, кроме того это не первый случай когда этот участник не смотрит, что я правляю, а сразу реверт делает, это уже не хочу говорить, о чем показывает, если я сейчас верну мою версию, и там будет как раньше 2 карты, меня заблокириют?--6AND5 (talk) 17:05, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Не знаю, заблокируют или нет, но эта карта некорректная и не советую эту карту вообще использовать. Если Армения так близко к сердцу, тогда можно создать карту, которая покажет территории, фактически контролированные Арменией. Taivo (talk) 09:06, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you delated this photo with remark: "unused personal photo with bad quality" It is the lie. File was used on pl-wiki, see: https://pl.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barwa_niebieska&diff=37896852&oldid=37702717 . 15 minutes before you deletation a person called The Photographer cut if from the article. It has only 5 edits on this wiki -> https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specjalna:Wkład/The Photographer . I am suppose that this person is a vandal. And maybe it is you... Regards Electron ツ ➧☎ 15:02, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Hasty deletions

I think you deleted at least two categories (1, 2) that had earlier today been moved by this user to new names while they were still being discussed at the move bot command page (here). That is, maybe it's not a good idea to encourage actions that contradict our process at the movebot. But as Admin you may see things that I don't. Thanxx :] Orrlingtalk 16:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Taivo, why did you delete File:Волгоград. Аллея пирамидальных тополей.jpg without any further discussion?

I'm not sure where it's written down, but there's certainly an informal rule, and maybe a formal one, that FOP cases will go to a full DR and may not be closed speedily even when, as in these cases, it's perfectly obvious there's a problem.

While I see no way to keep these, an early close simply invites the uploader to file an UnDR on the grounds that we did not follow due process..     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:30, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Taivo, I saw you deleted this image. Why is it a copyright violation? I took the photo myself, and it's a public monument. Cheers, Azylber (talk) 15:16, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

This photo violated sculptor's copyright. There was no permission from sculptor. In some countries (Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain) you can freely use photos about sculptures, in some countries (Belgium, France, Italy) you need sculptor's consent for that.

Yes, at first that, and write there, why do you think, that the photo is fake. I think, that there is more specialists of Slovenian geography than here. If during a week nobody has said, that the photo is correct, you can try again. Personally it seems to me, that there were no such white mountains in Ljubljana at all, so this can really be either fake or at least wrong city. Taivo (talk) 12:14, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:The Velveteen Rabbit.djvu

You have deleted a work that was in use at Wikisource. That you have done that without consultation with Wikisource is wrong. Further that you deleted the file without having first transferred the work to Wikisource is wrong and a disappointment that you have not undertaken the process at {{PD-US-1923-abroad-delete}}. Please resurrect the work, have it transferred the work to Wikisource before removing it. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 09:06, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Commons does not consultate with projects, where the files are used. Some file, which is presented for deletion, is used in fifty projects, and it is not practical to consult with all of them. Do you think, that Wikisource is special? Why?

Usually the deletion requests are closed, when 7 days is passed from creation of DR. This request was open 22 days, a lot longer than usual. And I did not create this request, I closed it. With pretensions of notifying please address to creator of the request.

The file was not marked with template PD-US-1923-abroad-delete. I do not feel myself guilty and I do not feel, that something was made wrongly (except 22 open days, which is long, but not unacceptable. Taivo (talk) 13:10, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Could you please explain why you have deleted those images? I have submitted an undeletion request Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2013-11#Matches played at Moses Mabhida Stadion and the result was to crop the architectural features and restore. I have indeed cropped the architectural features (you can compare the old and the new versions of these files) and restored this image. Please do not overturn the consensus in the undeletion request. Thanks — NickK (talk) 14:30, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I did not know, that such undeletion request exists. Now you see, why you should inform me (because I was closing admin) about creation of such request (or at least about re-uploading of the files). I did not realize, that new versions are cropped, although, of course, they are cropped. Maybe too few cropped from up. The problem is that consensus give you permission to crop architectural details out, but this was in end of October and you uploaded cropped photos on 10th of November, so there is no consensus whether the architectural details are cropped out or not. Oh, what should I do now? I restore the files, mostly the architecture is cropped out and remaining part can be considered de minimis. Кстати, если будет удобнее, могу и по-русски говорить. Taivo (talk) 15:39, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

You said that I should have informed you before reuploading, but you did not inform me before deleting them again (nor LGA did before re-nominating them) — what's the difference? I did submit the request asking community to comment on the issue, as deletion was a community decision and not your personal one (I hope at least). From discussion on DR, Village pump and undeletion request it seems to be clear that grandstands completely covered by spectators do not meet COM:TOO (like you said onlookers cover with their bodies all architectural features). Of cours, onlookers could not cover the arch and the roof, thus I cropped them, as well as some parts of the image picturing nothing relevant to the game (e.g. track around the field). As the closing administrator said If the copyright elements are cropped out, then the two remaining photos are ok for Commons, I re-uploaded these images without copyrighted elements. I do not see how I overturned the community consensus — NickK (talk) 16:11, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

At first, if something is deleted and re-uploaded, then deletion of re-created content does not need any discussion and every administrator can do that any time. At second ... the deletion was my personal decision, but also community's decision, because every closing administrator becomes a representative of community. At third ... you did not violate community consensus, when you re-uploaded the photos, although telling me would avoided a lot of troubles. Peace? Taivo (talk) 17:22, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree that deletion of the same content does not need any discussion, but re-uploading of a different version following an undeletion request is a different case. I just thought that you would probably check "What links here" before deleting these files to check if there was a reason to re-upload this image. All right, peace :) — NickK (talk) 17:49, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

By principle, these photos are usable. You can make a proper deletion request, but these photos do not qualify for speedy deletion. Taivo (talk) 11:46, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

ok wie Du möchstest, man kann ja in den Exifdaten sehen das ich der Fotograf bin und nicht der Benutzer. ;) Tschüß -- Ra Boe watt?? 12:18, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

ok as you viewing categories, one can see in the Exif data that I'm the photographer, not the user. ;) Bye - ~ ~ ~ ~

speedy

Hi, Please do not speedydelete redirects. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Regards --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Strange. Every day a lot of redirects (maybe half hundred) are presented for speedy deletion. "Unused redirect" is a standard reason for deletion. That means, some redirects are allowed to be deleted speedily. You mean, some redirect, which I deleted as unused, was actually used and I did not notice that? I try to be more careful in future.

File:Карабиць.JPG

Hi! Please restore File:Карабиць.JPG, I need use it in my local wiki. You deleted it too quickly. After I`ll use it you could delete it once more if you still would like to do it.--A1 (talk) 08:27, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Restored for eleven hours. Taivo (talk) 10:58, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

deletion nomination

Hi. I see you closed the discussion on my propsed deletion of a gallery, Commons:Deletion requests/The Triumph of History over Time - Anton Raphael Mengs. I don't mind, have nothing specifically against that page, but can you how is that kind of redundancy a good practice? When I looked for the rationale for having gallery pages at all, I got the bottom line is that they allow some flexibility with the presentation and selection that cats can't. What of that is present in the discussed page? Danny lost (talk) 22:34, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Any thoughts? Danny lost (talk) 12:25, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot. Galleries can include subsections, but categories cannot. If there is only few images in gallery, then the difference is not big, but look Eiffel Tower or Leonardo da Vinci. Taivo (talk) 12:43, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

	Happy Holidays!
	G'day, just a quick greeting wishing you and your family happy holidays and all the best for 2014. And of course, a big thank you for putting a leg up by doing what you do on Commons, and helping to make it the fantastic project that it is. Greetings from a warm west coast of Aussie. russavia (talk) 01:52, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

The panther image

Hi, Taivo, what makes you think that this derivative work is too old to be still copyrighted? It is a modern version of an old coat of arms.[8] The coat of arms is out of the copyright, but this modern derivative has copyright on its own. --Eleassar ^(t/p) 10:57, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't think, that the panther has copyright nowadays. It is main part of historical seal and so its copyright has expired with coat of arms. I opened the mentioned page and found year 1214. Year of Estonian ancient war of independence! Probably since 13th century the panther has been drawn a lot of times on its own. The panther has the same shape as in coat of arms, so no creativity was used when drawing it. Taivo (talk) 11:12, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Are you sure? The two images resemble each other, but they don't seem the same to me; the difference is significant enough (e.g. I don't see the tail in the old image).[9][10] Perhaps it would be good to ask for a third opinion. --Eleassar ^(t/p) 11:35, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

The file in the first page you showed to me (crni panter slovenski grb) has clear tail, same type as in graffiti. The file panter2.jpg has no tail, but description says "odlomek". As Slovenian and Russian are a bit similar languages, I suppose, that "odlomek" means: this isn't whole coat of arms, a significant part is missing. So this does not count. I do not see need for third opinion. Taivo (talk) 11:53, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Odlomek (i.e. fragment) here refers to odlomek pečata ("a fragment of the seal") - the seal is not shown in its entirety, but the coat of arms on it is. I've asked Jim to comment here. --Eleassar ^(t/p) 11:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Here is the comparison with a panther image at Schlossberg castle in Graz, they look remarkably the same. ℳ₪Zaplotnik^contribs 11:55, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

As a general rule, a new representation of a coat of arms, drawn from the blazon, has its own copyright, so it is entirely possible for a new SVG, for example, of this CoA to be copyrighted -- see COM:COA. With that said, it looks to me like this is not a new representation, but a simple copy of the old COA and I would be inclined to say that it is OK on copyright grounds. Whether it is useful for educational purposes is another question..     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:12, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

I tend to agree with Jim. Not everything that is drawn is per se copyrightable. -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 18:15, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Graffiti Ljubljana 131.JPG

Hi Taivo, what is your closing comment ([graffito] also seems to me simply as vandalism) supposed to mean? All graffiti I uploaded are illegal and can therefore regarded as vandalism, that makes them different from murals. This is already explained in this guideline and is the ground reason why graffiti like this one should be kept on Commons. Why are you keep ignoring this? (The message written in this graffito was not offensive or vuglar, it was a philosophical thought and I can translate it to you). ℳ₪Zaplotnik^contribs 11:33, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry. This is my mistake. I remove that sentence. Taivo (talk) 11:35, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
