User talk:Matrix/Archive 1

August 2022
Hi Matr4x-404! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Vivaldi (web browser) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

 * Thanks for the clarification! :) Matr4x-404 (talk) 20:38, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

List of Sony Cyber-shot cameras
Please be careful! This edit to List of Sony Cyber-shot cameras. It was just fixed by an anon. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 08:37, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't even notice I deleted that! $$M^{atr1x-}_{101}$$ { userpage! | talk! } 10:56, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Arbitration pages
Hi Matr1x-101. You've recently been editing Arbitration Committee decisions directly. Those decisions may only be edited by a member or clerk of the Arbitration Committee acting pursuant to Committee vote or other exception. I have therefore reverted your last edit and ask that you refrain from doing so. Best, KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 23:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)


 * @L235 Hi, I'm just turning URL links into permalinks, I don't think there's a problem with that, but correct me if I'm wrong. $$M^{atr1x-}_{101}$$ { userpage! | talk! } 23:06, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have reverted your edit per the message L235 left you. Please cease making these sorts of edits without prior permission of the arbitration committee or one of its clerks. -- Guerillero  Parlez Moi 23:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @Guerillero Hi, I don't understand the problem with minor edits like this. Could you please explain? Thanks! $$M^{atr1x-}_{101}$$ { userpage! | talk! } 23:18, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I mean, after all, Wikipedia isn't a beaurocracy. $$M^{atr1x-}_{101}$$ { userpage! | talk! } 23:20, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Those pages are meant to be an accurate reflection of the decision voted on by the Arbitration Committee. Every edit made to those pages is reported to dozens of editors (arbitrators and arbitration clerks). If the edit is important, it needs to be approved by the Committee. If not, it isn't worth making. These edits fall in the latter category. Best, KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 23:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * @L235 Thanks for the clarification! $$M^{atr1x-}_{101}$$ { userpage! | talk! } 23:23, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:RPlace 2023 Protests on Canvas.png
Thanks for uploading File:RPlace 2023 Protests on Canvas.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. 2NumForIce (speak  &#124; edits) 00:05, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Declined Revdel for Mohammed Berrada
I have declined the revdel request for Mohammed Berrada primarily because it looks like the material is likely derived from Wikipedia. But the request you made is also confusing. You flagged this for revdel, but there is no edit removing the copyright material, and the ranges you specify don't appear to correspond the introduction of copyrighted material for the starting revision nor its removal in the ending revision. Have I missed something? -- Whpq (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2023 (UTC)


 * the edit after the range does some copyediting and removes the (alleged) copyvio. But yeah, now that I look at, some of the suggestions at the bottom were published way after the alleged copyvio, so the source probably copied Wikipedia. My bad. — MATRIX!

Edits
Please revert as i have added summaries while clearing mumbai team page, similar of my long term indian sports edit pattern. At least if new user, should have proper understanding of english and reading, before destroying hard effort, i guess of topics you never heard about. Lastly, any next time similar thing is seen, no warning report will go. 93.140.98.107 (talk) 19:56, 11 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Please use a more descriptive edit summary, rather than "Never edited, useless". In particular, explain why it was useless, you can choose to do so on the talk page to avoid unnecessary drama. Also, maintain civility to avoid blocks (avoid comments like "learn to read english properly and stop destroying someone's hard effort"), after all Wikipedia is a community! — MATRIX!

Regarding [[File:Ignatyevo.jpg]]
In response to your help request, I deleted the page, as that was the only way to get around without using revdel, and I can't undelete the actual file. Once you upload the image again, it should be possible to transfer the file to Commons. I'm just cross-posting here in case the file talk page gets deleted before you upload a new file (though I left a note saying not to delete it). Complex / Rational 21:23, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Rev-del request at File:Mirza Ahmad Ispahani.jpg
Regarding your rev-del request at File:Mirza Ahmad Ispahani.jpg, non-free versions of images in the file history should be tagged with Orphaned non-free revisions rather than Copyvio-revdel which is meant for text copyrights. The easiest way to tag an image for non-free revisions is to use Twinkle. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 18:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)


 * but isn't Template:Orphaned non-free revisions only for images explicitly tagged as non-free (i.e. those with a rationale and everything)? Indeed, Twinkle says "fair use media with old revisions that need to be deleted" on the side. So does the template documentation. This image was tagged as free, so I used Template:Copyvio-revdel. Besides, I see no indication that Copyvio-revdel is meant for articles only. Please bear with me if I'm missing sometimes painfully obvious! — MATRIX! (a good person!)&#91;Citation not needed at all; thank you very much&#93; 20:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The situation you came across is not very common, so maybe using either method is okay. Although the documentation states the orphan non-free revisions is for non-free, it would be usable for this case.  As for copyvio-revdel, the whole template is set up to deal with text copyright violations.  After looking this, I guess that using either template would be okay since this is on odd and unusual situation.  Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 13:43, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
 * As I stated on my talk page (for the same situation), according to WP:NFC non-free includes fully-copyrighted images. We should use image tags for images and text tags for text. Primefac (talk) 17:41, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you're saying. There are two types of images in the licensing sense: free and non-free. Non-free images are images with non-free rationales that should use Template:Orphaned non-free revisions to remove old revisions. That's not relevant.
 * Freely licensed images (of which there are at least 100,000 on enwiki) should use Template:Copyvio-revdel if they are overwritten with copyright violations. If the case is unclear, it should be raised to Copyright problems for text  or FFD for files . Template:Copyvio-revdel is not a tag for only text, it can be applied to text or images. Though in practice, Template:Orphaned non-free revisions is preferred for non-free files. Cheers, — MATRIX! (a good person!)&#91;citation unneeded&#93; 18:28, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * If I'm being honest, this is not really something we should waste other editors' time with. But feel free to bring this up to VPT or some place like that if we can't come to some sort of consensus. Cheers, — MATRIX! (a good person!)&#91;citation unneeded&#93; 13:36, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Nowrap in signature
Hi Matrix. The nowrap in your signature causes issues in mobile because of how long the signature is compared to the typical width of a phone. See WP:NOWRAP ("will prevent breaks even when the line is too long for the window, forcing the user to scroll").

For example, you can view Templates for discussion/Log/2024 January 27 on a phone or just consider the illustration below.

 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Cheers, — MATRIX!

 * Thanks for notifying me, I always wondered why my signature looked weird on the Android app cos I stole borrowed the syntax from another user without checking. Should be good now. —Matrix(!) (a good person!)&#91;Citation not needed at all; thank you very much&#93; 19:23, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Also if the old signature is causing big problems feel free to do a replacement with this new signature at your own discretion. —Matrix(!) (a good person!)&#91;Citation not needed at all; thank you very much&#93; 19:28, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Rollback
Hi Matrix. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Fastily 04:05, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only . Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
 * Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!


 * Cheers :) —Matrix(!) (a good person!)&#91;Citation not needed at all; thank you very much&#93; 19:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for tagging copyvio
When you do so, make sure you also blank the violating material. If it's a grey area, please use Template:Copyvio. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 21:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Removing revelant information on File:Poundland logo 2024.svg
Hi, I noticed that Davey2010 told me in his reply that you were the one who removed the revelant information from File:Poundland logo 2024.svg. If you put back the revelant author information, Please do so. Ghursta (talk) 14:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC)


 * ✅ but in the future, don't be afraid to be bold and do it yourself! —Matrix(!) (a good person!)&#91;Citation not needed at all; thank you very much&#93; 14:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
