Media of the Day

Just curious, but as you appear to be highly active in this field and notified me that there are quite a bit more MOTD files in the VPP thread, are the issues that were brought up several months ago (last year) still relevant to the MOTD system or have they now been addressed? As then a new discussion can be opened in light of the developments that have taken place since the discussion started and we simply ping everyone who voted in the previous discussion to see if they are persuaded by the new developments, as well as the three (3) separate new policies that were proposed (and accepted) to save the MOTD system. Please ping. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 12:23, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I think that the MOTW proposal was on overreaction to some MOTD issues. Yes, some videos shown on MOTS were of poor quality. Some people questioned the idea to show videos of demonstrations against vaccination and vaccination pass. The Featured Media contest is effectively dead, so there is no chance that it would produce even enough Featured Media for MOTW. However there is no shortage of good and interesting free media, to be shown on MOTD. We need a bit more activity and diversity to fill up the empty days. I nearly filled up a whole month by myself. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:29, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Excuse the late reaction, as I wasn't pinged. Anyhow, once allowing PDF files is allowed I think that I can propose quite a number of books, both well-known books and some lesser known works that have been important in their own ways could be used for the main page. This would easily fill up the MOTD. But in general the best solution would be having more users that work with it. Maybe we could have standard days for media types but I am not how much is available, there are numerous books at the Wikimedia Commons, I think maybe even more than Project Gutenberg (which had 50.000 items as of 3 October 2015). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:43, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: Thanks. I try to have diversity, i.e. having a mix of videos, music of various styles and origins, speeches, recording of novels and poetry, PDF and DjVU documents (books, music scores...) which are notable and have some visual features, and not having the same type of media two following days, or even in the same week. I agree that it is quite easy to fill the whole MOTD with that. I also try whenever possible to have a media which matches a particular anniversary or a special day (e.g. see March 8th, for the Day for the Rights of Women). And yes, having more users would be good. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:04, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Problem user

Jawico666 (whom you blocked) is using their talk page for a series of attacks on Rod Hull. Should the response be:

• Ignore it, and leave them to a page no-one cares about anyway.
• Block TP access too / seek a global ban. This would be best in principle, but would they just turn into a sock and return to pages we care about?
• Ignore it, because Rod Hull is now fair game on Wikimedia projects?

Andy Dingley (talk) 03:17, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi,

Taivo already blocked talk page access. I removed the attack/harassment. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:19, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

User:Pixeldost/license CC-BY-SA-3.0de P

Hi Yann, I noticed that some files don't have a license because you deleted User:Pixeldost/license CC-BY-SA-3.0de P. I'm not really seeing what's deletion-worthy in that page, aside from User:Pixeldost/mfmHinweis. Would you consider restoring it? User:Pixeldost/license CC-BY-SA-3.0de seems to be pretty much the same as the deleted version, just without {{Personality rights}}. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:22, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: Hi, I restored that page. IMO it would be much better to substitute it with the included templates. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:03, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. It is unfortunate that too many people do not follow the Commons:User-specific galleries, templates and categories § Regarding licenses guideline. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:42, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Signifcant criteria

Hi Yann, I deleted a file which is now discussed for undeletion. Could you please explain what you mean with "significant criteria" in this remark. Being a fairly new admin, I did not see this before. Thanks, Ellywa (talk) 08:29, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ellywa: Hi, There is precisely a discussion about that on Commons talk:Project scope/Precautionary principle. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I will follow that discussion. In this particular case the image appears an en:Orphan work. As far as know these are copyrighted. At Commons it is decided to assume not in PD until 120 years after the original image was made. As beginning admin I try to stick to our guidelines closely. I had no doubt in this case. But it is a pity. As VRT agent I refused so many family album images of relevant people based on this. We will see how the discussion will lead to change of the guidelines. Ellywa (talk) 12:56, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

@Ellywa: Family album images are IMO a special case, as most of them were never published before. In addition, copyright for unpublished images are quite dependent of the country of origin. For example, anonymous unpublished images from before 1937 are in the public domain in France and in USA. French anonymous unpublished images from 1937 to 1951 are in the public domain in France, but still under a copyright in USA. But if I publish of them on Commons for the first time, I own a new copyright for 25 years, and I can therefore release them under a free license. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:49, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:IIBWiki-tan draft.jpg

The image is not a personal image, but a mascot for the site. Please restore.--Thyj (talk) 12:20, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

@Thyj: Which site? Yann (talk) 12:31, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Inai Inai Baa! Wiki, Short name is IIBWiki. Because Category:Xu Jiawei (IIBWiki), be mistaken for Xu Jiawei herself.--Thyj (talk) 12:34, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

@Thyj: I am not sure this is an allowed use of Commons. See COM:WEBHOST. BTW File:Inai Inai Baa! Wiki.svg seems too complex for this license. We probably need a permission from the copyright holder. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:41, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

The content of IIBWiki (except for the lyrics and most of the images about Inai Inai Baa!) is published under CC-BY-SA. Thyj (talk) 12:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

A question

Hello Yann. Thank you for your message. I am not a very active user but I am happy that I could add some valuable files that are free (one of them was nominated for media of the day in September 2020). I found that a user (I don't know them) has said that I am a vandal and that I lied in the past (linking this page: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Saddam Hussein..jpg) but I don't remember any comments there. I also don't remember uploading that file. I am sorry about comments of this user. Is this OK to say such things about another user without a reason? HeminKurdistan (talk) 14:59, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi HeminKurdistan,

I would not give much weight to what Ypatch said. He has only very few contributions, and his report seems to be politically motivated. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:15, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
