You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake?

Review Request

Please, review this. --Owais Al Qarni (talk) 07:57, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Done. Nosferattus (talk) 13:37, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

@Nosferattus: I have a query, I can't see the uploaded snap in the youtube video links. Could you confirm that the snap is available in the video. Also pinging Owais Al Qarni, Could you please update the timeframe from which you uploaded the screenshot. Thank you, stay safe.--C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 15:14, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

@C1K98V: see 0.1--Owais Al Qarni (talk) 15:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

@Owais Al Qarni: Apart from the beginning 0.1, any other timeframe which confirm that the snap is part of the same video, and has been released under creative commons license. Please kindly confirm. Thank you --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 15:30, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

@C1K98V: I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. The image is clearly from the opening frames of the video and the video is clearly marked as CC-BY. Is there some reason we need to devote more time and effort to this? Nosferattus (talk) 16:21, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

It's his official channel.--Owais Al Qarni (talk) 16:24, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

• @Nosferattus: Hello, once again. The snap is the thumbnail, only visible in the video just at the beginning. I just check a brief part of the video, but couldn't find any related snap. And after doing Google Reverse Image Search it turned out to be a Copyvio. Please have a look here. Yeah youtube files are crucial and cc license are irrevocable, so efforts and awareness is required. I valuable your efforts and time. Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 16:36, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
  • In that case you should nominate it for deletion as a copyright violation. Nosferattus (talk) 17:59, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Tagged and notified. Thanks, stay safe. --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 18:19, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

@C1K98V: Ok, I uploaded a new file. Please, review Again. Thanks to both.--Owais Al Qarni (talk) 18:44, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Location?

Hi Nosferattus - could you add some location details of where you took File:Suet feeder with three birds.jpg, please? It will help with identification and adding the right categories, and make the photo more useful. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 13:20, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Would still appreciate some follow-up on this please! The location is necessary for identification as to whether it is a Black-capped Chickadee, or a Carolina Chickadee. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 21:17, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

@MPF: The location is in the overlap zone between Black-capped Chickadees and Carolina Chickadees, which is why the bird isn't identified more specifically. Nosferattus (talk) 23:39, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! It would still be good to have a bit more location detail, even if just county & state :-) MPF (talk) 23:57, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Deletion requests post-mortem

Well, Yann closed the deletion requests before I finished writing my latest reply. Writing it took quite a while, because I was reading through various documents by the Copyright Office and even found a SCOTUS opinion that explicitly mentions the level of creativity needed for copyright ("extremely low; even a slight amount will suffice"). The main problem is that the most relevant guidelines (chapter 906.8) only speak of "sufficient human interaction", but don't specify what's "sufficient". Anyway, it was nice having a discussion with you! :) TilmannR (talk) 21:36, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

@TilmannR: As an interesting postscript, the United Kingdom, unlike most other countries, does provide copyright protection for works generated by AIs, but the term of protection is shorter: 50 years from the date of creation. The copyright belongs to "the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the work are undertaken", in other words, the prompt writer.[1] It's also interesting that they note the tension between 'creator' and 'author': "The creator of the original work is the AI, but the 'author' under the law is a person who has not made any creative input to it. This sits uneasily with the modern approach to originality in wider copyright law, where creativity and authorship go hand-in-hand." Nosferattus (talk) 23:34, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

---

Hi Nosferattus, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. 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. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

i78s

Hi, You mentioned here the availibility of audio recording. However I only get a register form, and I can't manage to register. Thanks, Yann (talk) 09:59, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

@Yann: The site is very Javascript-heavy and doesn't work in some browsers. Try it in Chrome and see if that helps. Nosferattus (talk) 01:41, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

I managed to upload one file from i78s: File:Lucille Hegamin - Getting Old Blues.mp3. This website is one of the worst I have seen. It is impossible to copy description of the recordings, so they have to be typed manually. :(( It would be a great improvement for music enthusiasts if we could copy all what is in the public domain to Commons. However that probably demands heavy script and bot work. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:21, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

"Make working with templates easier" - what is the final impact?

Hi, Nosferattus!

This is Timur Vorkul from the Technical Wishes Team at Wikimedia Germany.

I'm writing you because you have provided feedback on features developed in the “Make working with templates easier” focus area, more specifically on the bracket matching feature.

The work on this focus area is slowly coming to an end, and therefore I would like to talk about it in an article on the Wikimedia Germany's website. I would like to shed light on the technical changes we have implemented in the wikis together with the volunteers and more importantly how does the final impact on the active contributors look like. In that, I would like to ask you for your support.

I would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to recall what has been done in the “templates” focus area and to answer the following question:

How has one or more of the changes impacted your workflow or your contribution to the wiki?

I would like to use your answer either as a quote or as background material for the article. Of course, you are free to choose whether you want to be mentioned by your username or anonymized. If it's easier for you to send an audio or a screen recording instead of a written answer, I would be delighted about that as well.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at [email protected] Thanks! Timur Vorkul (WMDE) (talk) 08:30, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
