Peripitus. I find it problematic that relevant text would be removed because it is a negative story related to the history of privatization of city services because a city employee and an public relations firm for Atlanta want it removed. Someone researching the effects of privatization in their city would find this particular story of note, and given how much of the history page is devoted to that it seems very important to include and not triival.h_lina_k (talk) 13:30, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Invitation to Adelaide Wikipedia Users Group meetings
Hi, in case you're not already aware of it, a group of Adelaide Wikipedians has been meeting on a monthly basis since April, with the aim of improving the scope and quality of articles on South Australian topics. We meet at UniSA's City West campus, and our 23 July meeting will have a guest speaker from the National Trust of SA.

This coming Sunday, 6 July, we will be holding our first Edit-a-thon. This will be an opportunity for new editors to come and learn either basic or more advanced editing from very experienced wikipedians, so if you know anyone who would like to get some practice, please let them know - and beginners will be very welcome.

Deletion of file? ABC News 24 - submitted for deletion 21 Jan
Hi,

As I understand it, deleting requires consensus, it not reached a consensus, and I had justified, in my view, all negative comments.

So why did you delete it?

Michael ˥ Ǝ Ʉ H Ɔ I Ɯ (talk) 08:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * rather than justifying the comments what you need to do is show how it passes the criteria that the nominator thinks it doesn't. Specifically you need to show both how it significantly increases reader's understanding of the topic in a way that freely licensed material, like text, does not. "Significantly" is a much stricter requirement than the article simply discussing an image. For deletion discussions of non-free images all arguments have to be measured against the specifics of the non-free image criteria. - Peripitus (Talk) 09:08, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

a. there is no freely licenced material (other than text). b. when I used text, people deleted it as uncited. c. if it, the text, is deleted, it "significantly" prevents the readers understanding.

While I can't access the discussion now, it was IIRC, three points were raised. 1. size (second poster - other than me) - as I explained, any smaller and you could not read "POLICE" the topic of the text/section. 2. WP:NFCCP #8 & 9, (original nomination)
 * 1) 9 is wrong, it is/was only used in article space, in one article, (it was in my sandbox, perhaps causing that claim)
 * 2) 8 is the "significantly increase readers' understanding" - as I explained above, if the image is deleted, others delete the topic.

Dear Peripitus, freely licensed images are used on Wikipedia Commons, not on Wikipedia. So for this reason, i have downloaded the images on Wikipedia. Thus in near future, before deleting any images, you first read the guidelines of Wikipedia and Wikipedia Commons. There are options available on Wikipedia uploading wizard which states that wikipedia accept images of living people taken from websites, or from screenshots or from magazines or many other places and there are certain articles which has images taken from websites, or from screenshots or from magazines, which is also not deleted.User:Vivaan Viswanath (talk) 03:48, 3 March 2015

File:Club House de Cercle de la Voile de Paris à Meulan.jpg
Hi,

I still have some doubt if this file should have been deleted. You state that deletion was executed because of the following reasons: NFCC#8 and NFCC#1. If we look further:
 * WP:NFCC: Contextual significance. When describing the venue of e.g. the 2014 FIFA World Cup it is normal to emphasize the contextual significance by posting pictures of the stadia. In that light a picture of the clubhouse for the Olympic sailors in 1924 must certainly be signicicant in my opinion. Besides that. This is a picture of almost a century ago!
 * WP:NFCC: No free equivalent. As I stated earlier I am researching this topic for many years now and I have not found a free equivalent from that time period. This picture is from 1924 or earlier end reflect the time and atmosphere of that era. The building still exists but the configuration is different.
 * WP:NFCC: Respect for commercial opportunities. If I had to make an estimate on the commercial opportunities of this specific picture I would not invest in this. Chances of making this a commercial success are slim.
 * WP:NFCC: One-article minimum. No issue! The picture will be used in :Sailing at the 1900 Summer Olympics and Sailing at the 1924 Summer Olympics

I like to ask you kindly to reconsider your verdict.

 * - in both articles the image was simply used in an infobox, with no commentary at all on the image, less still sourced commentary. To pass the NFCC#8 criteria the image must significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Arguments that an image does significantly increase understanding while there is no commentary about the image itself are, by long standing consensus, difficult to accept. NFCC#1 - for the image to pass this you need to show how using an image of the building as it exists now is significantly detrimental to reader's understanding of the topic, compared to using the non-free image that I deleted. - Peripitus (Talk) 21:30, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

. Because you failed to give a policy related reason why the image should be kept. Stephan nominated the image on the basis of NFCC#8. To dispute this you need to show (a) that the image significantly increases reader's understanding of the topic that its removal would be detrimental to said understanding. Your response that the image "helps" reader's understand did not, in my view, address the nomination point. The fact that there was zero sourced commentary of the image is usually in these debates, and was in this case, a strong point in favour of the image failing NFCC#8. If reliable sources cannot be found that discuss that image used in that way, it is usually unsupportable to claim that it is required here - Peripitus (Talk) 23:01, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Secondly, need your advice for this photo, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sukumar_Sen.jpg, it has 3 copyright templates. Can it be used? and can it be cropped for the article Sukumar Sen?


 * . That image shows the absurdity of international copyright law. By Wikipedia standards it is not freely licenced, and will not be so until 2047, though it is in the public domain in India. It, or a cropped version, can only really be used in the Sukumar Sen (civil servant) article and it a cropped version is used the original would need to be removed - Peripitus (Talk) 04:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Photo of Hugh Segal
The image I added has a very generous license for non-Commercial use. It's frustrating that the Wikipedia image upload system is poorly matched for use with Creative Commons licenses.

Ilnyckyj (talk) 16:25, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * tps It's perfectly matched for the CC licenses that are acceptable. Not all CC are as free as others, and WP by policy needs to be more free than some of them allow. It's frustrating when one cannot find an image that looks the way one would like that is sufficiently freely licensed, but that's how freedom works...we're always at the mercy of those who create images and must respect their wishes about if/how they can be used. And it's also against policy to claim that a non-free image is legitimate fair-use when there are free alternatives available. The best way is to take a picture yourself...then you can declare it to be as free as you like, including being free enough for WP use. DMacks (talk) 16:31, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

"The best way is to take a picture yourself...then you can declare it to be as free as you like, including being free enough for WP use."

This is exactly what I did. I took this picture and released it under a Creative Commons license: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hugh_Segal,_Master_of_Massey_College.jpg

It's much better than this picture, which seems specifically chosen to make the subject look bad: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hugh_Segal_%28cropped%29.jpg

So can I put my photo back in this article?

Ilnyckyj (talk) 19:39, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
 * You tagged it in several ways that indicate it is not free. That's exactly the problem: the image is claimed to be "not free enough to use here". If it's your image, it's up to you how to license it, but if you don't license it freely (which means not restricted to edu or non-commercial, for example), then it can't be used. And you, as creator of the actual original photograph could choose a free license if you wish it used here. DMacks (talk) 21:00, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but this argument really isn't convincing. You're saying that I need to allow the free use of the photo by anyone in any circumstance, including for their profit, or it can't be part of a Wikipedia page? This seems to be a matter of personal ideology about copyright, rather than about whether the image is legally suitable for inclusion on this page. I have a detailed usage guide for my photography which specifically covers how non-commercial use, like a Wikipedia page, is free: http://www.sindark.com/NonBlog/milan-ilnyckyj-photo-0-5.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilnyckyj (talk • contribs) 00:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * . This is not Dmack's ideology, but rather one of the basic foundations of Wikipedia, as evidenced by the words "The Free Encyclopedia". Wikipedia aims for all text and images, where possible, to be freely licensed and this includes allowing commercial reuse for profit. Images like yours that have commercial restrictions are, in general, not used and not hosted on Wikipedia - Peripitus (Talk) 01:39, 26 April 2015 (UTC)


 * This particular image has already been licensed, and I can't capriciously re-license it after the fact.

Proposal to move to dated pending and received categories
Hi Peripitus, I am sending you this message because you are one of the admins, OTRS volunteers, or other editors who regularly deals with image issues. I would like to propose that we move to monthly OTRS pending and OTRS received categories and that we have a bot help out with automatically tagging images for deletion where the tag has been in place longer than the current OTRS backlog. The purpose of this exercise is twofold: (1) it reduces potential duplication of effort in checking on images and (2) it prevents images for which we do not receive appropriate permission from sitting around longer than need be.

Eventually I'll be uploading a few more files from people who are sending me files, so I'll need to know the proper way/steps for uploading to satisfy the criteria. As to this file, I did receive permission from Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. I still have the email if you want me to forward it to you. Roberto221 (talk) 23:18, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

About [[File:A Melhor Banda de Todos os Tempos da Última Semana Cover.jpg]]
Hello! A few months ago, you closed, but my comment appears to have been ignored. The proposer stated that it was a second album cover, but such statement is false, because the deleted file was actually used to illustrate the infobox of a single from that album. Is it possible to review that deletion? Thank you, Victão Lopes Fala! 19:12, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * . The deletion reason by B was 3-fold. The first that it was a second cover (we shouldn't be too pedantic as album is used here interchangably from single) in an article that already had an adequate non-free image, the second that it failed WP:NFCC ("Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information") and the last that it failed WP:NFCC ("Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."). The general consensus here is that we only use singles covers for standalone articles about the single, which no longer exists for this image, unless there is a compelling need for the image - Peripitus (Talk) 05:15, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * What about articles on songs in which there are sections about one or multiple cover versions released as singles by other artists? Are those covers OK? See Come Together for an example. Victão Lopes Fala! 07:00, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * . There is no blanket rule. The consensus is that a single image of the primary subject is kept, any additional images have to significantly increase reader's understanding. Many hundreds (at least) of such images have been deleted. I suspect that the image you've mentioned would not survive a deletion discussion. - Peripitus (Talk) 23:56, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
 * OK, thank you for clarifying it to me. Victão Lopes Fala! 02:03, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Thomas Kailath picture quick question
Hey Perpitius Rabtman here, thanks for letting me know about the picture, I thought it would be better to ask you about one quick question I had. So If i showed some permission i got from the author of the image himself, would i be able to keep the image? -Thanks, Rabt man (talk) 22:45, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Kailath picture
So how should I obtain the free license from the copyright holder? Is there some kind of purpose or can i just ask? Sorry about the confusion and thanks for the help.Rabt man (talk) 01:34, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * . There are some examples of request in Example requests for permission. The copyright holder can release the image using the format in WP:CONSENT or some other method that conveys their intentions - Peripitus (Talk) 01:55, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Patience Kpobi
Hi. If I read the logs correctly, you deleted File:Patience Kpobi.jpg and warned User:011nyegagh about it. That warning had no effect as the editor uploaded a copyrighted image under that same file name pretty much right after you deleted it. -- Whpq (talk) 02:46, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * . Supermarioman has taken the next step I would have, a short block to hopefully get their attention. I expect in this case we have a user paying no attention to the "you have new messages" line. It's troubling that in their time here there are no talk page edits to other users, or even their own talk page. This is usually a sign that we're going to struggle to get them to work with us -Peripitus (Talk) 04:52, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Thomas Kailath picture
Hey Perpitius, I had sent an email to the Stanford University contact page, and I may have done the file upload wizard wrong, so is there a chance if I will be able to re-do the questions on the file upload wizard to the extent where it is more accurate? ThanksRabt man (talk) 18:22, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

Kailath picture
Hey Peripitus, can u please delete that image? I dont think I filed the image correctly. Thanks Rabt man (talk) 01:41, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

HI You can delete the empty page https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leila_Maknoun thanks !! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popezo (talk • contribs) 15:08, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * . THat page is on the French Wikipedia and appears to have already been deleted - Peripitus (Talk) 23:36, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

@Peripitus no i mean that's it can disepear that page completly !!

File ShraeyKhanna.jpg
This file is a free work. Although its owner gave it to me but there is no such copyright associated with it. Hence, he can not send me the permission too. Therefore he only told me to reupload it with changed attribution. Can you please help me what to do now? Nameishidden (talk) 13:28, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * . You need to get the image's owner to submit it, or a link to the image, via permissions-en@wikimedia.org using the sort of release noted in Declaration of consent for all enquiries. - Peripitus (Talk) 10:32, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Ok he's alive. Understood. Sorry about that. Connor7617 (talk) 11:58, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

You should have received an email with a link to a Google form to complete - could you please either do so or email me if you did not receive it? Note that, because there are more applicants than available accounts, not responding could result in your slot being passed to a waiting editor. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:53, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Ping. Please respond in the next week if you still want an account. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:23, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Image File Deletion
I'd like to remove this file I uploaded as it is no longer needed. Please delete. MrBean65 (talk) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jonah_Bryson-Profile.jpg
 * . Can you please login as the original uploader User:Jonah Bryson and tag the image with db-author and an admin will come along and do this. Alternatively it will be deleted soon anyway as missing permission - Peripitus (Talk) 11:32, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

== Reminder: Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 31 December ==

''This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.'' I wanted to follow-up on an message I sent you in September regarding the need for you to sign a confidentiality agreement by 31 2,015 in order to maintain your access from Wikimedia to nonpublic information, and specifically to the OTRS system.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 2,014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are transitioning to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 2,015 to retain their access. You are receiving this message because you have access to nonpublic information by way of the OTRS system and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 2,015, you will lose your OTRS access.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 2,015 to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

''If you wish to stop receiving these notices, you may remove yourself from this list. Please note that doing so will not prevent you from losing OTRS rights and access after the 31 2,015 deadline.''

Thank you,
