Deletion nonsense

I'm sure you have better things to do. My own work "Muriel Robin" comprises several photos that I took with Muriel's permission. What's your problem? Francis Hannaway (talk) 21:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@Francish7: Please don't make me guess or explore. I have been doing 000s of pieces of maintenance, so please specifically tell me what I am looking at. If I deleted something there will have been criteria added by whomever requested deletion, and it will have been accepted, or added to if I thought extra information was required.  — billinghurst sDrewth 21:40, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @Francish7: I assume you are talking about Commons:Deletion requests/File:Muriel Robin 1.jpg. billinghurst is not really the person who nominated this for deletion. If you look at that page, User:FMSky asked for the image to be speedy-deleted as a duplicate of File:Muriel Robin par Francis Hannaway 2016.jpg. billinghurst rejected that call for speedy-deletion, remarked "Not exact duplicate, though the cropped part contains a copyright statement and the bottom of the image," and then started Commons:Deletion requests/File:Muriel Robin 1.jpg to get consensus, because he was rejecting someone else's call for speedy deletion. In other words, he started a discussion about whether or not to keep the version with the watermark. You can comment on that discussion; here is not the most productive place to comment, because whatever admin decides whether to delete the watermarked version probably won't see this user talk page. And, either way, some version of the photo will certainly be kept. - Jmabel ! talk 22:53, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Migration of The Origin and Development of the Bengali Language files to English Wikisource

I've noticed that the files The Origin and Development of the Bengali Language (Volume 1).pdf and The Origin and Development of the Bengali Language (Volume 2).pdf were migrated to English Wikisource for copyright violation. While they are obviously in public domain in the United States, they are also in public domain in the source country (India), see {{PD-India}}.

Chatterji died in 1977 to my understanding, which is 47 years ago, so not certain how they are PD-India. If you think that they can be undeleted here, then please follow the process at Com:UNBLOCK.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:16, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I believe you meant COM:UNDELETE. - Jmabel ! talk 19:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Renaming of file "File:Shane Taylor in November 2014 (cropped).jpg"

Hello - I am just getting in touch about renaming "File:Shane Taylor in November 2014 (cropped).jpg". The Flickr page states the image was taken on November 27, 2014; however, you will see that the image is located in a folder titled "Showcase of Champions Winston Salem, NC 11-27-15". Additionally, the following links shows that Taylor is not recorded as having wrestled on 27 November 2014 but is recorded as having wrestled (in Winston-Salem) on 27 November 2015. Therefore, there is evidence that the image is actually from 2015 and the reference to 2014 on Flickr is an errors. McPhail (talk) 13:59, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

@McPhail: The metadata says 2014. Who am I to dismiss that information? When there is concern over a naming or information, we then lopok to ues {{Fact disputed}}, and put information onto the file talk page. Evidentiary steps are better documented and consensus, rather than forcing something through, and occurring edit wars later. At this stage there is no "obvious" criteria that I can apply, hence my not renaming it at this point. — billinghurst sDrewth 00:07, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Renaming requests

Hi! I've noticed that you declined some renaming requests, maybe I was unclear and I would like to explain better. The italian municipalities of Alano di Piave (map) and Quero Vas (map) have been unified last January 22nd, under the new name of Setteville. The standard name adds an "ex-" before "comune" to indicate that it's no longer a municipality, so the name for these historical maps should be Map of ex-comune of XXXXXX (province of Belluno, region Veneto, Italy).svg. Also, this map should not indicate "since" (because it's no longer current) and should be renamed File:Map of comune of -blank map- (province of Belluno, region Veneto, Italy) until 22nd January 2024.svg, as was done for previous maps. If there's anything else wrong, let me know. Thank you in advance :) Arrow303 (talk) 18:58, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

@Arrow303: While it may have been a commune, I am guessing that there is no such thing as an ex-commune. We need to manage that a different way. For a file that is a map, put some years against as ab exanple, so (YYYY-YYYY) for start and finish. Also update the description. The name describes what it is or was, or puts boundaries around it, not starts to create new terms. The map is usually as of a point in time, or covers a range if we are looking retrospectively. So if we have a start date, then append 2024, put the fine detail into description.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:58, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Casa Ghiringhelli

Why do you delete this category as wrong named? There is a Wikidata and italian Wikipedia article https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Ghiringhelli about this building -- Arch2all (talk) 22:52, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

@Arch2all: I deleted per request to delete. Twice the category has been created, and twice the contents moved to different places, with category redirects.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:01, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

But it seems that the original delete request doesn't make sense (anymore). --Arch2all (talk) 23:06, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Have a chat to @Arbalete: , their request both times to remove the category redirects, once for their creation. If it is that notable, then we can have the category, and have it linked from Wikidata. Though please resolve this prior to recreating, as there seems a fundamental disagreement here somewhere. I will remove the protection now that a conversation is occurring.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:08, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
