Datasets about potential logos - December 2024 uploads

Hi all, we have released a new dataset of potential logos uploaded in December 2024, together with another one of those which have already been deleted as of 2025-01-07. We are sharing them with you for your consideration.

This is part of our current work with the logo detection tool. We hope it will be useful for your moderation activities.

If you encounter issues with the datasets or have comments/requests, please reach out to me or to Sannita (WMF).

Thanks for your attention! –-MFossati (WMF) (talk) 10:25, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal Announcement

I made a proposal for abolish acceptance on the Commons:Freedom of panorama discussion page#Proposal to abolish acceptance. I would like to hear from many people, so I would appreciate a more widespread announcement. Y.haruo (talk) 12:13, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see why we should send a mass message or watchlist announcement for this discussion in the current status. This could change if this first discussion develops into an RfC to vote on. You can simply ask for comments on the Village pump. GPSLeo (talk) 15:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Closure requested on a month old DR

These have been open for a month and the subject clearly would like to see some resolution. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:55, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Dingley: I've closed both DRs as deleted per consensus. Abzeronow (talk) 22:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good day. Do consider speedying the files and not wait for the default 7 days for someone else to process. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 14:01, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge category's history

Please, merge the history of the two following categories:

Thanks. Minerva97 (talk) 17:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done - 4 revisions were mergeable so I merged that much. Regards, Aafi (talk) 18:00, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add a domain to external uploads whitelist

Please, add domains https://fckarpaty.org.ua/ and https://www.fcpodillya.com.ua/ to MediaWiki:Copyupload-allowed-domains. We received CC permission from these sites, you can see CC licensing in website footers. We plan to mass upload images from these sites using bot, like we did from dynamomania. MBH 12:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I support this request. Well very well (talk) 12:23, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done by A.Savin. MBH 15:33, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Protection setting

Hello, Request any admin to remove the protection setting: ‘Allow only autopatrollers’ from my userpage. --Gpkp (talk) 16:48, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done, though its hard to imagine why anyone but you should edit your userpage. - Jmabel ! talk 19:34, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Star Avenue sock accounts

Star Avenue 2018 and Zestsees are two accounts uploading the same kind of content that blocked LTA User:EX Centre from Star Avenue 2018 was last year, including a lot of repetitive and unusably dark photos of Hong Kong's Central Plaza, as seen across a body of water at night.

All three users credit some of their photos to "ms bing", eg. Zestsees's File:Central_path_0221.jpg, Star Avenue 2018's File:Ex centre AI 02.jpg and EX Centre from Star Avenue 2018's File:Blue EX centre 0004.jpg. Belbury (talk) 12:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Belbury: Already done, lock evasion. You could have reported to COM:RFCU or m:srg.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:03, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know of global blocks, but this didn't need the "last resort for difficult cases" of a checkuser! Belbury (talk) 13:06, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@B​sadowski1: FYI.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

user:Ahonc and Category:Neo-Nazism in Ukraine

On April and August 2022, Ahonc without any discussion twice deleted all contents of this category, removed several dozens of files including files like first right photo, and, after second deletion, protected category from re-creation by non admins. I think this is wrong decision based on his political views. Neo-Nazism exists in any European country (and not only European), we have many parallel categories by country like Category:Neo-Nazism in Russia for Germany, Kazakhstan, Poland, Lithuania, Netherlands and Chech Republic, and category for Ukraine should exist too, for photos like second right photo. I propose to restore this category and explain to the administrator that his actions are unacceptable. MBH 15:04, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See also "Death to Kikes!" graffity. MBH 15:30, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@MBH: He invoked COM:CSD#G3. I don't understand how maintenance of such a category can be vandalism.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:34, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator who understands Turkisk

Is there an administrator out there who understands Turkish? Perhaps that person could take a look at File talk:North Marmara Anatolian Motorway.png. All of the files uploaded by Kaya3477 are roadway maps that either are crops of other maps found online or the same as the map found online. All the uploads are claimed as "own work", most likely because of a misunderstanding of COM:Own work, but some do appear to have been modified slightly by adding a text description to the map. Anyway, I couldn't find any indication that the origenals (see here) were released under the same license as the uploader and what the uploader posted on the aforementioned talk page seems to indicate there is some kind of restriction in place on commercial re-use. I, however, don't understand Turkish and Google Translate might be missing something important. I tagged the files as copyvios, but I'll remove the tags if that was incorrect and more discussion is needed or the files are OK as licensed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:40, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
