(This could be a user problem as well, but I think it's a better fit here).
== Vandalism ==
 
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.
== Attention ==
* [[:Category:Copyrighted free use]] still contains many wrongly tagged images. / [[User:Fred Chess|Fred Chess]] 20:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 
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.
:*Based on what I've seen when checking "Latest files", this is possible the license that is most often used incorrectly. I think that in many cases, it's done in good faith, as the uploader has been told that the image can indeed be used freely; however, that is often meant as an acknowledgment of fair use rights, or as "use, but don't modify". In the license selector on the upload page, the license is described as covering free use, including commercial use, but there is no mention of the right to modify the image. Perhaps that should be included on the selector, to make it clear that this license needs a bit more justification than an e-mail saying "sure, feel free to use it". [[User:Cnyborg|Cnyborg]] 23:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 
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]].
:I can hardly find images which are not a copyvio in Category:Copyrighted free use. --[[User:Kjetil r|Kjetil]][[:no:Bruker:Kjetil_r|_r]] 23:34, 29 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)
== 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)
 
: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)
::Hm in general I wouldn't think it was necessary... but if a user seems like they have a lot of socks or is otherwise disruptive, it could be useful. [[User:pfctdayelise|pfctdayelise]] <small>([[User:Pfctdayelise/Translations|translate?]])</small> 15:44, 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.

===Blocking policy===
: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)
As a new administrator, I'm not sure about the blocking policy here - there's no official policy on it, but is there some sort of semi-official consensus. Obvious vandalism is one thing, that's pretty easy to handle, but with other things, such as multiple uploads without licenses or with fake license it seems to be a bit more haphazard with regards to the treshold for blocking a user and the length of the block. Can anyone enlighten me a bit, so I don't just apply the rules from other projects here? [[User:Cnyborg|Cnyborg]] 18:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
::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)

::{{Ping|Yann}} The VPC thread is about the copyright questions.

:::: {{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?

[[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.

:Cnyborg, I think, because many of us are familiar with blocking policy on other projects, that we take for granted that everyone knows. Myself, I use a 1 hour/1 day/perm rule. 1 hour for first offense, etc... Sometimes I'll do a short duration block to get someone's attention..."Hey, stop uploading those, you're not allowed." Above all, blocks should be preventative but not punitive.

== Abuse filter blocked ==
:::For multiple uploads without warnings or fake licenses, the thing is to give them a very strong personal warning first, including the relevant policies to read and where to get help. If they totally ignore that, and continue to upload copyvios, have no hesitation in blocking them in order to stop them doing so. For some people it seems the only way they will listen.

:: I am in no position to act as arbitrator, but my opinion is that "Anasazi" is indeed better as a category name because more people are familiar with it and it doesn't appear to be pejorative to most people. Categories on Commons don't not need to be as politically correct as article names on Wikipedia, because categories are for internal use.

:: To add a second opinion to Fred's, and being very slightly native American (Nansemond on my father's side...it is unlikely I'm any more than probably no more than 1/32th), I believe that Anasazi is the far more common name, and perjorative or not, as it is in reference to an ''ancient'' and not ''living'' people, it is unlikely we'll offend more than the spirits of the dead. If one believes such things. Myself, I believe the dead have a far greater sense of humor than the living. So I support the decision to retain this Category at [[:Category:Anasazi]].

Please make User:Orchi stop incorrectly editing categories of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ophrys_holosericea_gracilis_(B%C3%BCel_%26_al._1973).jpg
If one of the categories is decided to be the appropriate one, the other one perhaps should have a crosslink in it to the one where the material remains, unless nothing at all links to it from other wikis. I sometimes search for things by directly typing in category names or following links from other wikis. ++[[User:Lar|Lar]]: [[User_talk:Lar|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Lar|c]] 13:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

==This noticeboard==
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.

: Absolutely. We should work together, always. Wikilove and all that.
: OTOH, I'm happy (oh boy, am I ''so'' going to regret this) to offer my expertise related to dispute management.

== Restricted permission to create Data namespace files? ==
 
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.
