Bot edit war

Two bots are edit-warring at File:Passengers on a Washington State Ferry, circa 1980s (54040757828).jpg. As the uploader, I'm the only admin who is not allowed to hand-review the license and clear this up. - Jmabel ! talk 04:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel, ✓ Done but this edit-war made me laugh. Regards, Aafi (talk) 05:51, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MGA73 some files do need manual review. please tweak your bot design to avoid repeating the review request too many times. RoyZuo (talk) 13:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I stopped my bot. --MGA73 (talk) 13:41, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

export a file from Commons

I would like to export this file File:ŌgaiYatarō-An Airman.png, which was originally uploaded on the Japanese Wikipedia by me, to jawiki but do not know how to do it. The file is PD in Japan but may be non-PD in US. At least we cannot rule its possibility out nevertheless User:真夢城（まゆき） carelessly imported it to Commons. In my knowledge only administrators can revert it to jawiki so that would someone please do it instead of me? HinokisOfRoma (talk) 12:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably you can just get ja:ファイル:ŌgaiYatarō-An Airman.png undeleted on ja-wiki. I'm not an admin there, so I cannot examine the history of deleted files there. - Jmabel ! talk 19:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reply. Unfortunately your suggestion does not work because file history was already erased on jawiki. We can trace it just on Commons.--HinokisOfRoma (talk) 20:34, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HinokisOfRoma: I think you are misinformed about the history erasure on jawiki, please ask there on jawiki anyway.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:05, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think you may have to re-upload it to JaWiki and then have an importer import the Commons history. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:52, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have created User:Red link example for use in documentation and testing.

Can someone kindly permanently protect the user and talk pages, with an edit summary noting that purpose?

I have also requested that the account be globally locked. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:52, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please move the file to File:Complete Annals of Great Viet, University of Tokyo 2014-03-08.jpg (edit protected): To clarify the name of the book and some date formatting. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 16:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DR close request

Could an admin take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fuengirola - Monumento Juan Gómez González, 'Juanito' 2.jpg and determine whether it can be closed? No additional comments have been made more than a month, and I don't think that there's going to be a sudden increase in comments if the DR continues to remain open. I'm not advocating in favor of a particular close; just asking that it be assessed and then closed as the administrator sees fit. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DR has been closed. Abzeronow (talk) 05:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Abzeronow. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone delete these subtitles? It's for the wrong file. Thanks! // Kakan spelar (talk) 17:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit war

Some anonymous contributor thinks that "Militsiya" (Russian police before the 2011 reforms) cars are not police cars despite 2 other saying him they are.

I'm not sure what to do here while it's not a vandalism, but these contributions are unconsensual and kinda, silly. idk. Красный wanna talk? 06:50, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done. I reverted that and semi-protected them for a year. Taivo (talk) 11:14, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Protected page edit request

File:Samantha Harvey.jpg is protected as it's currently appearing on Enwiki's Main Page (and possibly elsewhere; its subject just won the Booker Prize). Its source is File:R7A9667-2.jpg which has a CC-BY-SA-4.0 license but File:Samantha Harvey.jpg is offered under CC-0 which cannot be the case since the uploader there is not the copyright holder on the source image. Request to update the license of the protected File:Samantha Harvey.jpg to {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} to correctly reflect the source license. Thanks! Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 23:35, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done License fixed. Abzeronow (talk) 23:45, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
