== [[User:Yann]] and wheel-warring ==
[[category:Commons maintenance]]
 
(This could be a user problem as well, but I think it's a better fit here).
== Incidents ==
 
Yesterday, I closed two deletion requests concerning Studio Harcourt photos as ''Delete'' with the rationale ''per nomination. Harcourt photos were declared to be collective works by a French court, which means they are in the public domain ''in France'' 70 years after first publication. This photo is less than 70 years old, and it will be protected in the US until the end of 2052.'' (see [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Bergman_Harcourt_1957.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=899499679] and [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Nicole_Louvier.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=899499344]) and deleted the files.
 
Several hours later, [[User:Yann|Yann]] undeleted the files, completely reverted (effectively removed) my changes to the deletion requests and replaced them with his own closures, with the rationale ''Kept: The French state bought the photo archives of Studio Harcourt in 1991 and released them under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license.'' He also came to my user talk page (after he had already reverted my closures) and told me that ''As per the discussion in [[Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Tisourcier]], Harcourt photographs taken between 1934 and 1991 are not under copyright per [[ticket:2020112910005534]].'' Which is notably a different claim and not the same he used to close the DRs after reverting my closures.
 
Now I'm perfectly willing to discuss both these claims and the general copyright status of the Harcourt photos, and have in fact right now started a discussion at [[COM:VPC#Copyright status of photos by French photo studio Harcourt]].
== Blocks & Protections ==
I have blocked {{user|Castell}} for one week, because he uploaded lots of images without providing image sources. / [[User:Fred chessplayer|Fred Chess]] 21:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
:Are we adopting a practice of reporting such things here? [[User:Jkelly|Jkelly]] 00:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 
BUT just reverting another admin's DR closure which you don't like and replacing it with your own is '''not OK'''. That is wheel-warring and should not be engaged in. It simply '''cannot''' be the way we interact with each other here, and it is a profoundly disturbing way to treat a colleague. The proper way to handle something like this is to ask the admin in question to reconsider, and if that doesn't change things, take it to another venue like (in this case) a undeletion request or another appropriate forum. All things Yann should know. I've already asked him (on my user talk page) to do that, but he did not. So I'll ask him here ''again'' to undo what he did in this matter and follow a proper course of action. I realize Yann is a very prolific admin and valuable for Wikimedia Commons, but that does not mean he should get away with blatant actions like this. --[[User:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#0000CD">Rosenzweig</span>]] [[User talk:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#8D38C9">'''''τ'''''</span>]] 09:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

:I agree with you @[[User:Rosenzweig|Rosenzweig]] here completely. Reversion here is not a good step to begin with, simply because one disagrees with the closing statement of the admin. A simple way forward was to ask and I'm sure Yann knows it more than me. It is really not okay. I'd really appreciate him revert both of their edits and continue with the discussion and let uninvoled admins handle it. <small><sub><span style="color:SteelBlue;">Regards, </span></sub></small>[[User:Aafi|<span style="font-family:sans-serif; color:#4682B4; text-shadow:.2em .2em .4em #AfAfB1;">'''Aafi'''</span>]] [[User talk:Aafi|<sup> '' (talk)''</sup>]] 09:53, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
== Disputes ==
There is a dispute between [[User:Huebi]] and [[User:Makthorpe]] over the naming of [[:Category:Anasazi]] vs. [[:Category:Ancient pueblo people]] (see the talk pages of the categories). I protected the categories some time ago and unprotected them today, but a small edit war ensued again. I know completely nothing about Native Americans plus involved myself to a certain extent by moving everything into one category. I wonder whether an other admin preferrably with knowledge of the subject would help solve the dispute? [[User:NielsF|NielsF]] 22:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
:My head is swimming over reading the debate. I suggest we protect the pages from any further move until the dispute is further settled. '''[[User:Bastique|Cary "Bastique" Bass]]''' <sup>'''[[User talk:Bastique|parler]]'''</sup> <sub>'''[[Special:Contributions/Bastique|voir]]'''</sub> 22:38, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
::See also the comments I've left on [[User talk:Huebi]]. I'm not for one name or the other but in the way it is now content is not accessible which is a major problem, I think. If anyonen could protect, I'd be happy. [[User:NielsF|NielsF]] 02:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 
::I agree with Rosenzweig, too, and I also respect Yann's many very valuable contributions to Commons a lot. But Yann has also a tradition of quite forcefully trying to push through things according to his opinion, sometimes making proposals and then deciding himself that they're accepted and implementing them. One example is [[User_talk:Gestumblindi#Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Videos_by_Bandai_Namco|here]] on my discussion page, another one I had not the energy to bring up yet is his introduction of his unclear proposed "orphaned old works" policy into [[COM:L#Old orphan works]] which makes things more muddled than helping in any way, but I digress... - Yann, I would recommend a bit more restraint in your actions when you disagree with your colleagues, because, as Rosenzweig says, we just can't work together like this.

(Moved from VP- '''this is a request for intervention'''). -[[User:Makthorpe|Mak]] 01:32, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
:I find it problematic that Rosenzweig voted in the discussion at [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bergman Harcourt 1957.jpg]] and, despite the situation being controversial, closed it herself. That it's being reclosed by an admin that wasn't involved in it, seems normal. [[User:Enhancing999|Enhancing999]] ([[User talk:Enhancing999|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:26, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
::And if I had simply been asked to, I just might have changed that myself. I was not asked though. --[[User:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#0000CD">Rosenzweig</span>]] [[User talk:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#8D38C9">'''''τ'''''</span>]] 13:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
::That's a fair point, Enhancing999; I myself have made it my personal policy to never close deletion requests where I participated substantially in the discussion (with an opinion / vote on the matter) , but I know that other admins (including Yann and, apparently, Rosenzweig too) don't see that as an issue - in Rosenzweig's place, I wouldn't have closed that deletion request after voting in it, but this doesn't make Yann's overruling of Rosenzweig any better (I see both things as bad style). [[User:Gestumblindi|Gestumblindi]] ([[User talk:Gestumblindi|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:09, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
 
:Hi, These deletions were just wrong. It is very sad that Rosenzweig doesn't recognized that, and instead posts here. [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:13, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
The edit war mentioned two weeks ago in [[Commons:Village_pump#Pointless_edit_war]] was halted due to a lock on both categories. After the one week cooling off period, one of the opposing parties declines to discuss the matter, enter into arbitration, and persists in creating a split category
::On this, Yann, I believe we are discussing a different thing and not if the deletion closures were right, but if the reversion without interaction with the closing admin, was fine or not. <small><sub><span style="color:SteelBlue;">Regards, </span></sub></small>[[User:Aafi|<span style="font-family:sans-serif; color:#4682B4; text-shadow:.2em .2em .4em #AfAfB1;">'''Aafi'''</span>]] [[User talk:Aafi|<sup> '' (talk)''</sup>]] 14:33, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
:I see that you also posted to VPC. I am fine discussing the copyright status of these files. But what's the point to duplicate the issue here? [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
::{{Ping|Yann}} The VPC thread is about the copyright questions. This thread here is a complaint about your behavior in this matter and also asking you to undo it. --[[User:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#0000CD">Rosenzweig</span>]] [[User talk:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#8D38C9">'''''τ'''''</span>]] 16:11, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
:::OK, I will undo my closure and delete the files, if the discussion on VPC shows that they can't be accepted on Commons. [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:19, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
:::: {{ping|Yann}} I think it is very likely you are right on the substance of this, but also absolutely clear that you went about this wrong. Step one should have been to contact the closing admin ([[User:Rosenzweig|Rosenzweig]]), discuss with them and try to get them to revert themselves. Failing that, you probably should have started an undelete request. What you did comes off as "I'm more admin than you." - [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] ! [[User talk:Jmabel|talk]] 17:31, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
::::: I can understand your point of view, but I feel it is very bureaucratic. Now you ask me to delete again this file, and to request undeletion, even when you recognize that it will finally be undeleted? [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
::::::Considering that there is an extensive and ongoing discussion at the VPC section, I would suggest restoring the original closure message, leaving a pointer to the VPC section in the DR, with a note somewhere saying something along the lines of "the outcome of this deletion request is challenged and being discussed at __". I think the file can stay during the discussion temporarily, and permanently if the outcome is "keep". (If anything, having the file visible helps the discussion.) [[User:Whym|whym]] ([[User talk:Whym|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 03:09, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
::::::Or: Will {{u|Yann}} and {{u|Rosenzweig}} offer to retract their closures and post votes/comments there instead? If both answers are yes, then it seems appropriate to do so, reopen the DR, and have a third admin to close (after waiting to see if additional comments are coming there). [[User:Whym|whym]] ([[User talk:Whym|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 01:54, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
:::::::Sure, I would. Basically this question will need to be decided for all Harcourt photos at the VPC discussion anyway. --[[User:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#0000CD">Rosenzweig</span>]] [[User talk:Rosenzweig|<span style="color:#8D38C9">'''''τ'''''</span>]] 10:46, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
::::::::OK. I reverted my closure. Please note that similar DRs were closed as kept by other admins, i.e. [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:MarinaVlady-1952-Harcourt.png]]. [[User:Yann|Yann]] ([[User talk:Yann|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:40, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
: Okay, here's another case, I believed that {{user|Yann}} wrongly closed [[Commons:Deletion requests/File:28码脚型飞机杯（右脚）.jpg]], although the user has pointed out on Yann's talk page[[User_talk:Yann#c-Lemonaka-20240710090000-Dronebogus-20240708233700]], they showed an [[:w:WP:IDHT]] attitude. [[User:Lemonaka|Lemonaka]] ([[User talk:Lemonaka|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 07:42, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
:: There's no previous DR for this photo, if you searched DR Archive, and this closure is truly not good. [[User:Lemonaka|Lemonaka]] ([[User talk:Lemonaka|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 07:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
:::In that case (of a file kept currently), can you just request deletion again asking for a closure by another admin? Obviously we don't want to encourage asking for third, forth admins etc redundantly, but asking for a second opinion seems reasonable if the previous discussion was not substantial. Note also that this section is about "wheel-warring". [[User:Whym|whym]] ([[User talk:Whym|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:22, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Let's do our best to make this noticeboard where admins can collaborate to improve the Commons, and resist any moves for discussion to degenerate into attacking one another. Remember more than ever our collective commitment to multilinguality, and what that implies - acceptance of multi-wiki practices and multi-cultural understandings. So let us be quick to inquire but slow to judge. Share information and suggestions, and refuse to accept personal attacks. Readily admit mistakes and correct them, and allow everyone the opportunity to learn from them. Viva la Commons.

I'm enriching information about the archaeological site of Dura-Europos, and working thorugh the process of creating geoshapes for individual buildings within the site for map visualization; I have successfully created these shapes previously in the Data namespace on Commons and connected them to their WD items and Pleiades records. However, upon trying to run through my usual workflow yesterday, suddenly I'm running into an unexpected message when I try to select a new name in the Data namespace: upon selecting a namespace that I expect to be free (as per my usual process), I get a message that I don't have the "permission to create this page". (See screenshot). This is new, and not a prompt I have experienced before, and I'm especially surprised since I just uploaded a geoshape using the same workflow only a few hours prior! Can someone help me figure out what's going on? [[User:Ahc84|Ahc84]] ([[User talk:Ahc84|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:55, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

== Please delete [[:Category:Aircraft by location by airline]] to make way for a move ==
 
[[:Category:Aircraft by airline by location]] needs to be moved to that name. Alternatively, if you want to just do the move that would also be fine. There are almost 3,000 subcategories, so I'd be happy to take care of recategorizing those if you want. Thanks. -- [[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 01:11, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
