Mother India
I reverted what you added to this article; it looked like a link to the movie. Then I saw that you appear to be an experienced user. What was it really, and why did you add it with no context or explanation? What about copyright? Please explain. Bollyjeff &#124;  talk  00:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, Yes, I added a link to the movie on YouTube, and the movie itself in the article. The movie is in the public domain, and it is uploaded to Commons. It is essential that an online encyclopedia provides a link to the content it is talking about. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:02, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Larzac.png
Thanks for uploading File:Larzac.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. --B-bot (talk) 17:41, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

FFD and PROD
Hi, I noticed that there has been a increase in nominations at WP:FFD that are essentially non-controversial. Have you considered using WP:PROD instead? It might be a more efficient way for some of those "redundant to a better quality image" nominations. Salavat (talk) 23:50, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Salavat,
 * Actually that may be a good question. I am not very familiar with the deletion process here. I thought that at least some of the fair use images might be useful, and therefore have to be moved to Commons. What do you think? But why did you revert yourself? Regards, Yann (talk) 00:04, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

File:Yermi.mp4
I don't care about it being deleted, but why did you mark it as F9 copyvio? It was a G2 test. Now it looks like I uploaded a copyvio, but it was properly licensed. Alexis Jazz (talk) 19:21, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that's what you wrote yourself in the description. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:02, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * This was the description: "Just testing if I can upload mp4. (I cut it short because the music has copyright and there is no need to upload a large file)"
 * The original file had copyrighted music, so for the test I cut it short to make sure it wouldn't. And it didn't. In hindsight I guess I should have worded it more clearly. I am so sorry I didn't look up Big Buck Bunny to upload that instead.. Alexis Jazz (talk) 22:27, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, I interpreted as the content is copyrighted. I am not an admin here, so I can't change the deletion rationale. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:23, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

User talk:Suhrabaliusa
They're allowed to remove messages. That way I know they saw them.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 16:21, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, that's a different policy than on Commons. Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:59, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

A Visit to the Seaside (1908)
Hello Yann, why can't we copy this film on Commons ? Yours, --Marc-AntoineV (talk) 09:00, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi, This is a British film, and the author is George Albert Smith, who died in 1959. So it will be in the public domain in UK in 2030. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Damned ! Thks anyway. --Marc-AntoineV (talk) 10:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

2018 Year in Review

 * On a related note, I had tried and failed some years back to get File:Bloody Saturday, Shanghai.jpg through FPC, and while I would have liked a chance for co-nom I am none the less grateful that you found and nominated a superior version of the photo for featured picture consideration. It really is a good picture, particularly for the breadth of emotions it captures, and well deserves its status as a featured picture. Well done :) TomStar81 (Talk) 19:35, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:Max beckmann, auutoritratto frontale con frontone di casa nello sfondo, 1918.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Max beckmann, auutoritratto frontale con frontone di casa nello sfondo, 1918.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:19, 5 January 2019 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ron h jones (Talk) 13:19, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
 * All information is there. I fixed the description. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:46, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

कमन्समा प्रतिबन्ध हटाउने बारेमा
नमस्कार यान सर म श्रेष्ठ भूपेन्द्र हुँ नेपाली विकिपिडियाबाट र मलाई तपाँईले विकिपिडिया कमन्समा सामग्री राख्न प्रतिबन्ध लगाउनु भएको छ। मैले सुरुसुरुमा चलाउने नजानेका कारण त्यस्तो भएको हो र अहिले मलाई सबै जानकारी र प्रतिलिपी अधिकारको बारेमा पनि राम्रो ज्ञान छ त्यसैले मलाई प्रतिबन्ध फुकुवा गरिदिनु होला। - श्रेष्ठ भूपेन्द्र (talk) 02:12, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

I've put up a second alt. Could you have a look?

Also, sorry for the alts. It's one of those things where I wanted to support, didn't like an aspect of it, thought "Y'know, I'd happily restore that..." and so... did. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 23:21, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Hey, Yann, um, what's "enquête R. Chavagnes" mean? Trying to figure out if that's a note of a bequest, or an artist stamp or a library stamp or what. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 10:03, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * I have no idea. May be it would be clearer if we would know who is R. Chavagnes, and what role did s/he played in this publication? He may be Chavagnes, René (1883-1956), according to . So if he is the author of this engraving, it may not be in the public domain. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:52, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Probably not: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Chavagnes says that one's a journalist. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 12:19, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, his biography doesn't match with an artist. So "enquête" seems to mean that he made a list of portraits available in the Opera Library. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:50, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I suppose I should remove that stamp when restoring? I'm sure that's not part of the actual poster design (that's surely a poster design, right?) Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 12:55, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I just noticed https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb443576734 calls it an "Image de presse" - could this have been adapted from for illustrating an article by Chavagnes? Though this is so obviously a poster design it seems doubtful that was the original intent. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 13:07, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see this mention. I see "Projet d'affiche", which effectively means "poster", although 24,5 x 18 cm seems a bit small for a poster. And yes, the stamp is not part of the original design, it can be safely removed. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:12, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, thank you! It seems likely, then, that the artist didn't sign the image, and thus - as per quite a number of posters of the period - would likely have been uncredited. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 13:16, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

File:Edgar Allan Poe, circa 1849, restored.jpg
How's that look to ye? I noticed work had stopped for a while, and... may have meddled again. If you don't like it, just let me know and I'll spin it off, and then hand back to you. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 03:06, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * Good work, but could you please upload as a separate file? Thanks, Yann (talk) 13:40, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Just to note, I tweaked the image, partially in response to Alt 1. I don't want to say more about Alt 1 than I already said there. Or, rather, I want to say a lot more, but what I said will do. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.4% of all FPs 11:17, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Yann, I came across, you did some of the restoration. It might pass if you nominate it. Bammesk (talk) 01:43, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi,
 * I already nominate that in 2014, and it didn't receive any support: Featured picture candidates/Sarah Bernhardt, par Nadar. Why do you think it would know? Regards, Yann (talk) 10:52, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Because more restoration was done in 2015. It now looks Ok. Bammesk (talk) 12:35, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
 * There was already nominated 3 (!) times, so I have some doubt, here it is: Featured picture candidates/Sarah Bernhardt, par Nadar/2. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:55, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Blocked in Wikimedia Commons on October 25th 2015
Hello Yann,

It's been almost 5 years since I was blocked on Wikimedia Commons by you for uploading unfree files after warning. I been realizing what I did was unacceptable that day. I do apologize for that. I was hoping that need a last chance to upload photos on my own work and unblock me. If not possible, what can I do? Now, I have the experience and the responsibility to work with Wikimedia Commons. At first, I only want to upload my own images to Wikimedia Commons, not upload any photo. Thanks for reading. Best regard Happypillsjr ✉ 22:09, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I am not much active these days. You need to request unblock on Commons. Since the time passed, and with a proper apology, you may get the ability to edit again. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:13, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , I understand but I tried to get a request, I am still block on Common for indefinitely. Happypillsjr ✉ 19:03, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Odeillo solar furnace
Hi. Thank you  for creating  Odeillo solar furnace on  July 18, 2015‎ .This article is extremely similar  (I am bilingual anglais-français) to Four solaire d'Odeillo (created  June 30, 2005‎) and for the most part appears to  be a  translation from  that  article. If that is the case, could you  please consider adding  the attribution per WP:TFOLWP to  the talk  page of the English article. (see this for an example). The en.Wiki is rather more strict about  these things than the fr.Wiki. Thanks. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:17, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Request for unblock
Hello. Dear admin Yann, my Wikimedia Commons account was blocked due to a misunderstanding. Of course, I fully respect the admin who did this. I tried to explain to her many times but unfortunately I did not get a positive answer. Regards, please unblock my account.

Bengal tiger image
While a case can be made to use the original, high-resolution image, we really should replace it with a cropped image that does not include the artist's watermark. —C.Fred (talk) 19:47, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Cropping an image takes a few second. I made a new crop with CropTool, as the previous one was poorly done, and badly attributed. Thanks, Yann (talk) 20:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
