Your speedy deletion of File:Ann-Helén Laestadius - Hei fávru - Inari Saami.jpg as advertising spam

[edit]

Hi. You deleted File:Ann-Helén Laestadius - Hei fávru - Inari Saami.jpg, which was uploaded by Muotâ as advertising spam inspite of COM:INUSE. That file is within the scope of the Inari Saami Wikipedia and was being used to illustrate the article of the very book the book cover is from, which goes against COM:INUSE:

A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose

and

It should be stressed that Commons does not overrule other projects about what is in scope. If an image is in use on another project (aside from use on talk pages or user pages), that is enough for it to be within scope.

Furthermore, you have not left any sort of message on Muotâ's talk page to say it was being deleted or why. I would appreciate it if you would undelete it and also restore it in the article on smnwiki it was used in, which you incorrectly tagged as advertising spam. I have declined your spurious request for the article to be speedy deleted as spam there. - Yupik (talk) 02:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've undeleted it. I'm not convinced that it isn't spam, but I'm using Google Translate and you're a local admin and presumably speak the language. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. There is no Google Translate for Inari Saami, so not sure what it's telling you. I think it's important that Inari Saami speakers can see their own literature reflected in Wikipedia and this was the first time we could upload the cover of a book to illustrate one of the articles. The article is also connected to other important pages on the Inari Saami Wikipedia such as the author's page and "Books in Saami languages published in 2024", so it feels off that both the image and the article were marked as advertising spam. - Yupik (talk) 09:47, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"I'm not sure what you mean."

[edit]

I meant if you could just undelete the photo with the problematic part cropped off Trade (talk) 07:35, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users sign.jpeg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

ANU report about Dronebogus

[edit]

I don't want to beat a dead horse. But the ANU report about Dronebogus seems like a pretty cut and dry instance of harassment to me. I asked him not to contact me on my talk page, he did, and the guideline is pretty clear that unwanted attention or contact constitutes harassment. So can you tell me what exactly I was wrong about there? At least IMO it's totally within my right to tell people not to leave me messages on my talk page if I want to and then report them if they aren't willing to respect the request. Or should I just be forced to have people who are causing me stress and anxiety repeatedly contact me against my wishes? Adamant1 (talk) 10:43, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2023 voting is open!

[edit]
2022 Picture of the Year: Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) in Nepal.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2023) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

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. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
