Lua error in Module:Artwork at line 1485: attempt to get length of field '?' (a nil value).

Hello Jeff, do you have any idea where this Lua error originates? Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 06:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

@Lotje: No, sorry, I don't. Pinging @Jarekt as Module Architect.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:11, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

File:Paola Vega Castillo-3.png

Hi Jeff G. on the File:Paola Vega Castillo-3.png you added the template {{Screenshot}}. If I understand it correctly, this is for non-free software. As I had clearly indicated, the screenshot was made using the open-source BigBlueButton. Could you please tell me how that is non-free software? Thank you, Bquast (talk) 07:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

@Bquast: That image was evidently a still from a video. Where did you get the video? What can you tell us about the name and lifetime of the videographer and the dates and countries of videography and publication? Please read COM:EVID.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 10:19, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

The screenshot was made by me. I was born 19870-03-13 in the Netherlands. The subject was in Costa Rica, I was in Geneva, Switzerland. I have obtained the subject's permission. I'll mention again that it was made using the open source BigBlueButton. Bquast (talk) 13:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

I read COM:EVID, I guess I should have indicated that I had the subjects permission. However, the software argument (under which it was deleted) I think was already adequately addressed in my remark on the page, or am I not understanding COM:EVID correctly?

Your assistance with an issue please

Please see Commons:Deletion requests/File:La porallée en 1230.jpg. The issue is not the image, it's the user RAN who is leaving a lot of pointy notes to me on deletion nominations. I have been doing what I do for years now, and he's one of the few people who's engaged in any kind of trolling me, but I feel that's what is going on now. He has had several nasty turns of phrase, I called him on one of them on his talk page very politely. It has not stopped. Also Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Eliah Elie. He seems unaware that people who have been doing this longer recognize patterns on uploads and despite my very best attempts to explain it to him - it appears to make no difference. This is now the time when I ask someone with an obviously masculine name to step in and assist - as that is what I think is going on here. He has a filemover. He doesn't seem to understand about administrators and bureaucrats, but he certainly has opinions about how I should do things. I would really appreciate some help - petty bullying takes all the fun out of contributing to the project. Thanking you in advance. Ellin Beltz (talk) 02:06, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ellin Beltz: Thanks for asking. I replied on the first mentioned DR.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:28, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

@Tyg728: Why did you not notify me directly? We are supposed to keep redirects for most files we move per COM:FR.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:37, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Qusta ibn Luqa

Hello, I'm requesting help about what we can do about File:Qusta ibn Luqa.jpg. That picture is not a picture of Qusta ibn Luqa, but a picture of Galenus. It's very misleading and I've put this discussion in the file talk page as well as the community pump, but I'm not sure what to do next. The picture is used in a few different language wikipedias, it's very misleading. Thanks Xn00bit (talk) 23:53, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

@Xn00bit: Why are you so sure that is Galenus?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:32, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

Please read File talk:Qusta ibn Luqa.jpg. The file is just a cropped version of File:Galenus.jpg. Xn00bit (talk) 11:47, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

@Xn00bit: Thanks.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:02, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

File:Portraits. Wellcome L0001859.jpg

Hello Jeff, everything okay? Wondering whom I could turn to, to have these images cropped (12 in total), can I do this myself? Thanks. Lotje (talk) 07:26, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Lotje: Hi again. Everything is ok with me, and with you? You could crop those yourself.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Jeff, I'm fine, still Covid-free (a blessing) Looking to Commons:CropTool, I do not see any CropTool where it should be. Lotje (talk) 11:31, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Lotje: You're welcome. I am fully vaccinated. You may feed the filename or URL directly to https://croptool.toolforge.org/ when you can't see the tool in your toolbox.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:51, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

It suddenly popped up, but also something weird... a username I barely used in the past was waiting for me over there (creepy), so confused now. Lotje (talk) 11:54, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Lotje: The JavaScript can sometimes be delayed in showing tools and whatnot. Perhaps your browser kept cookies associated with your last visit to Meta as that other username? What was that other username?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Pssst, cannot tell you right now, top secret Lotje (talk) 12:17, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Category redirect

I used Category redirect to correct the confusing wikidata:Q6432351 (Île de France) train name. It should be without (l') and with a (Î). The Île-de-France format is used for the French region. This name is very confusing: see search results with (Île de France) in Wikidata. Only de Italians stil use (l') it:TEE L'Île de France (and wikidata label), but I will leave this alone.Smiley.toerist (talk) 11:32, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

@Smiley.toerist: Thanks, that looks fine now.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:57, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
