Pater noster
Evidently you failed to read the page File:Paternoster etc ngram.jpg before deleting it. Yesterday I asked on a Q&A website for information about Google's permission policies. I found it and edited the file's summary section, replacing what I'd had before with the Google permission and its source.

From my post about that in the appropriate location, Media copyright questions:


 * I have found Google's relevant statement of permission—
 * Ngram Viewer graphs and data may be freely used for any purpose, although acknowledgement of Google Books Ngram Viewer as the source, and inclusion of a link to http://books.google.com/ngrams, would be appreciated.
 * — and pasted it, together with its source link (https://books.google.com/ngrams/info), into the file's Summary field, replacing what I put there before. However, none of the listed copyright status descriptions match it, so I am asking here for the help of a more experienced editor. Please me to discuss. --Thnidu (talk) 01:05, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

You deleted the file ten hours after I had entered the permissions and asked for help:
 * 11:10, 3 June 2015 TLSuda (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Paternoster etc ngram.jpg (F4: Lack of licensing information)

The few requirements for F4 include:
 * Administrators should check the upload summary, file information page, and the image itself for a source before deleting under this criterion.

NOW: --Thnidu (talk) 16:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Since, as of the time of deletion
 * the file did have proper permission
 * and the permission, and its source, were properly recorded in the Summary
 * kindly restore the file as it was.


 * 1) I've just checked the image's summary page after deletion, and there was not a license on it at all. Your comments are still there, but without a license being included (CC-by, PD, etc) the image was not in line with our policies and should have been deleted.  So I deleted it.
 * 2) Since Google does not release their content under a specific license, they still own the copyright, and therefore we cannot use it. For example, we only allow media to be uploaded if it can have derivatives made of it. (That's a difference in what Wikipedia sees as free, and what US copyright says is free). Google's statement says nothing about allowing derivatives. Until and unless Google releases this data under a specific free license, we cannot host it. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 17:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. From all the previous discussion, I could still not see why the text of Google's permission was not equivalent to a license. Your second paragraph finally, after all this, provides an explanation that makes sense to me:   Permission for derivative works.  --Thnidu (talk) 03:00, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Undeletion request
Hi TLSuda,

Could you please undelete the following files if they are in scope:


 * File:Lossless-page1-440px-GlpG structure tif.png
 * File:S-E complex mod.png

There seems to be a valid OTRS-ticket: 2015052810018071. One of the files is delete by you and the other one by Dianna. I can ask her to restore the other file if you prefer. Thanks in advance! Natuur12 (talk) 17:31, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * ✅ and I've updated the OTRS ticket. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 18:47, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Non-free_content_review/Archive_65
There is no-consensus here. And Stefan's suggestion that non-free images be limited by default thumbnail sizes is ridiculous. - hahnch e n 19:56, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * There is consensus there. The consensus was the image was too large. Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean that it isn't consensus. You do not get to unilaterally overrule that because you don't like it. And lets be realistic. What reason would the image need to be larger than what is seen in the infobox? If someone wants to see a bigger version of the image, they can click it and then the source for the image to get a bigger version. That way we aren't hosting any more than we need to.  Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 20:00, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * You've taken one guy's opinion as consensus. - hahnch e n 20:20, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * No, I've taken the consensus from the discussion. I've taken one guys suggestion as the implementation of the consensus. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 20:24, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * His suggestion, that non-free images have their upload size limited by the default width of the thumbnail, regardless of user-preferences is not supported by the wider Wikipedia community. If you believe that all non-free images should be 220px in width, you should explain that extreme position rather than closing discussions. - hahnch e n 20:33, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * You are so blinded by a number that you aren't paying attention to anything and accusing me of things that just are not true. Please take a step back and look at the discussion again. The consensus of the discussion is that the image could & should be smaller. You don't agree with that, and that's okay, but it doesn't change the consensus. You want to keep the image the same. The consensus is against that. Now for the actual size of the image, there was no consensus for that. It was barely discussed in that discussion. Just because there was no definite consensus for a specific size does not mean we get to ignore the consensus that the image needs to be smaller. So, I took the discussion at hand, its consensus, our policies (specifically WP:NFC and WP:NFCC) and determined that the best size, which would be within the consensus to be smaller, and within the rule of thumb to 0.1 megapixels, would be what it is actually rendered at in the article. So with the consensus and the polices I implemented the outcome. And I understand that you don't agree with it.  That's cool. We can discuss that all day. But you don't get to overrule it just because you don't like it. You don't get to accuse me of things that I haven't done because you don't like the outcome. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 20:41, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the premature decision : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-free_content_review/Archive_65#File:Tiobe_index.png the company wanted obviously the free usage of the graph (with attribution which is OK) but just formulated not in appropriate way. I get in contact with the company. Shaddim (talk) 23:37, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Using their data may be allowed. Our policies only allow for things that are released under a free license. This includes being allowed derivative works. Nowhere on their site do they allow you to modify the data and the make an image.  They wouldn't want that because then it could be wrong.  If you are going to contact the company, you need to get them to release the data or an image of the data under a free license.  They should follow the instructions at Declaration of consent for all enquiries. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 01:29, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm aware of this, I guided already companies through the process. I'm just a little bit concerned how easy content is dismissed, with a super short discussion (beside, there was no time for me to answer before the discussion was already closed) even in cases when the company obviously wants the free usage. cheers Shaddim (talk) 09:27, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I can understand your concern, but the discussion was open for 16 days. It only has to be opened for 7 days (as it is with most file discussions) so I wouldn't really classify it as premature or short. Also in times like this there isn't a whole lot of discussion needed since we have specific requirements in our policies. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 13:07, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * thanks for clarification, but my point was mainly that it was ignored that the company was obvuously willing to contribute. Just an ask nedded. I have now confirmation from the company and the email is on the way to the otrs. Cheers Shaddim (talk) 18:39, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Please don't think that anything was ignored. Many companies/entities/persons/etc are willing to contribute. Our policies restrict how we can allow contributions.  Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 18:42, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 * the image is now available with OTRS ticket, asking tIOBE was no problem. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tiobeindex.png. cheers Shaddim (talk) 17:28, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Awesome! I'm glad that you've been able to do this. Now there will be no question about the authenticity of the use. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 19:21, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

FFU request
Hi! When you get a chance, can you review this request ("EricCurranCelebrates1stWin") at FFU? I've closed out the other stale requests over 7 days but I'm leaving that one because the requester left me a message on my user talk page indicating that he'd sent permission to OTRS. Could you verify if that's the case? Thanks, Nick&#8288;—&#8288;Contact/Contribs 04:39, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * We did receive OTRS permission. It looks like it was handled through the OTRS queue and is now at Commons: File:EricCurranCelebrates1stVictory.jpg. Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 21:45, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Italian euro coins
I happened to be looking at the article for Italian euro coins and I noticed some of the images (e.g. File:Eur.it.005.gif) were deleted by you as non-free, whereas others (e.g. File:Eur.it.002.gif) have a fair use rationale template. Was there some reason for this discrepancy? It looks like these images were uploaded as a set by so if the deleted coins can actually be used under the fair use policy, that user might be able to re-upload them. 24.130.189.187 (talk) 16:15, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:2014 PGA Championship.png
 Thanks for uploading File:2014 PGA Championship.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.

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).

Advice for improving an article
Hi TLSuda! I hope all is well -- I am reaching out to you because you were the GA reviewer for Genes, Brain and Behavior, and I am working on another article of an academic journal that I hope to bring up to GA status. The article I am working on is The Urban Lawyer, which is the the largest circulating government law journal in the world. There are very few indepent reliable sources that talk about the journal, and I have included everything I could find from a reliable source. I have tried to follow the model of Genes, Brain and Behavior as much as possible, but if you have any advice for how to improve things, I would certainly appreciate it!

File Deletions
 You recently posted a message on my talk page in response to the many remarks I have made in regard to the MANY files uploaded by me over time that have been deleted from the site. The most recent casualty has File:Robot Carnival.JPG, which I had uploaded nine years ago. This was done by User:Mika1h on July 4, 2015, when he up loaded an image of the theatrical poster for the film Robot Carnival and replaced it for the title logo image I had originally uploaded. Looking at this, I know he was not acting maliciously -- a poster for the film is a more appropriate representation than a title frame. Like you, I "had over a hundred deleted" -- I have kept count. I thank you for taking the time to message me about this matter; yes, it has always concerned me greatly. I ultimately came to feel useless here. The barnstar  that had been presented to me a while back by JamieJones has come to look "old and tarnished" like the Bronze Star that had been awarded to the character Mayday in the movie Planes: Fire & Rescue. I'm not really capable of not taking it personally -- I apologize for that. But I had exceptionally good feelings about the many contributions I had submitted. So when the number of files being put to the guillotine began to pile up -- it really hurt. I ultimately had to come to the conclusion that the uploading of image files by me would be a futile effort. For that reason,it has now been years since any image file has been uploaded by me. Most likely I will never do so again. I have tweaked some articles in the intervening years, but really nothing significant. That's where I stand now. Thank-you for your kind words -- it really means a lot, more than you realize. -- Jason Palpatine (talk) 07:31, 14 July 2015 (UTC)  This User fails to understand Wikipedia's Systematized Logistical Projection of its Balanced Policy Contingency.

Kinetic Depth Effect Image Deletion
Please reinstate this image ... there was ZERO reason to delete it. I personally own the image and put it in public domain for wikipedia to use. Zuchinni one (talk) 04:06, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * There was a very good reason to delete it. That is why there was a discussion about it: Files_for_deletion/2015_July_4. You say it was an image that you own and put in the public domain, but you uploaded it as a non-free file.  As a non-free file, it is replaceable and therefore it fails WP:NFCC.  On the image's page, you claim the copyright holder is Shai Azoulai and that it was originally published in the Journal of Vision (article: "Hemispheric Differences in the Kinetic Depth Effect"). Are you Azoulai? If so you should follow the directions at WP:CONSENT  and include proof that the image was created by you. Then it would be restored.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:AlvinMakerSeries


A tag has been placed on Template:AlvinMakerSeries requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes ( ).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter
The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:


 * , who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy.  A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
 * , second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
 * , first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany.  Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
 * , second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
 * , from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
 * , from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
 * , from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
 * , also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Mercer Wordmark Issues
I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect format or forum to raise this issue. I'm very much new to Wikipedia. I have been tasked with keeping Mercer's wikipedia entry updated and accurate, and I have been made aware that the wordmark you uploaded and added to the official Mercer wiki entry is incorrect. It has been cropped inappropriately. I have a new version that I would like to replace the image with. Can you help me with this? Thanks! Maconmatt (talk) 14:26, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello Matt from Macon (I assume). I believe you are talking about the logo on the University's article. If you believe a new logo should be uploaded, I'd recommend you request through our Files for Upload process: Files_for_upload. Be sure to include a link to the correct logo. Also, based on what you've said (you've "been tasked") you might want to read our article on Conflict of Interest: WP:COI and make sure that you are following that guideline.  If you need anything else, let me know.  Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 23:01, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi. About two weeks ago, you approved my request and said that I could expect an email soon. I haven't gotten the mail yet and I see that the page with all the requests is archived now.

Request re:Image on page Akillezz
Yesterday the image on that page (Akillezz) was deleted. I had been working with the publicist who in turn was working with the artist and the copyright holder Mark DeLong. Just today we received notice that Mr. DeLong has submitted documentation to Wikimedia Commons granting a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International free license. the ticket number from Wikimedia Commons Permissions is: ticket:   I request that your restore the photo permanently, or if that is not possible, please restore it for a temporary period pending processing of the documentation by Permissions... thank you  --Mstomasik (talk) 19:16, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * As soon as the permissions by the OTRS team, the image will be reinstated. We don't host files even temporarily because this can take time and if the correct permissions are not received we are hosting copyright material against our policies.  Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 19:20, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Science Direct image permissions?
Science Direct users may not "Display any copyrighted images or pictures which are in Elsevier works without permission of Elsevier" Is there a mechanism for requesting permission from Elsevier? Is there a general statement from them that permission generally will not be granted, or generally it will be granted? Is there someone at Elsevier I may contact for permission if this comes up? (Images, IMO, are SO important to making a story clear - so many people are visual learners, and if we can use images, I prefer to use them when we can.) Thanks! Dcs002 (talk) 21:07, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I honestly do not know the best answer for this, but I'll reach out to Elsevier directly to try to find out. It may take a bit for a response though.  Cheers,  TLSuda  (talk) 13:45, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...
Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins.

After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors.

We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition.

The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Deleted image question
Hi. The image The Block Fans vs Faves logo.png was deleted in September 2014 for non-use as per CSD F5. However, if this image were to be undeleted, would it be acceptable for it to be reused in the article The Block (season 8) as the image in question is the logo of the season in the article. Or would this break policy? I'm a bit confused and would appreciate some guidance before I ask for the image (and those from other seasons of this TV program) to be undeleted. Thanks. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 10:18, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:WYNZ FM logo.png
 Thanks for uploading File:WYNZ FM logo.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).

Elsevier ScienceDirect - I've been very inactive
You approved my Elsevier ScienceDirect Health & Life Sciences account several months ago. However, I then got a new job and two other projects that have been consuming my time. I have only cited Elsevier material twice in all that time, and I have not made many edits. I would like to keep my Elsevier ScienceDirect account, but if there are other more active users who would like an account, and if there are no more available (the number of accounts is limited, right?), I feel it only right to offer to give my account up for someone else. I do not know when I will have time to be more active - possibly in May or June, when my new temp job ends, but I can't be sure. Again, I would prefer to keep my account, but if other more productive editors are waiting, I think I should give up my account for someone else. Dcs002 (talk) 16:53, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins
Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers
Hi.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins) .MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
