F10

Hi, Please use the proper rationale for deletion requests. Files uploaded by Mutialulu are in scope, so F10 is not a valid reason for deletion. If they are copyright violations, please provide a source, or create a regular deletion request. Thanks, Yann (talk) 18:29, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Actually this is bordering vandalism. Yann (talk) 18:50, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

@Yann: So is this.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 06:23, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Japanese logos

Hello,

Some Japanese logos might fall under COM:TOO#Japan and be allowed on Wikimedia Commons with the {{PD-textlogo}} template regardless of their copyright status.

If you think a logo is above the threshold of originality, it is best to open a regular deletion request rather than a speedy deletion request.

File:Abdiaziz Ali Mohamed—Portrait Photo (2026).jpg

File:Abdiaziz Ali Mohamed—Portrait Photo (2026).jpg has been nominated for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Abdiaziz Ali Mohamed—Portrait Photo (2026).jp… This is a deletion request for the community to discuss whether the nominated page should be kept or deleted. Please voice your opinion in the linked request above. Thank you very much! If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Your account has been blocked

You have been blocked from editing Commons. The reason for the block is available in the block log as is the name of the administrator who blocked you. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may add {{Unblock}} below this message explaining clearly why you should be unblocked. For more information, see Appealing a block.

I told you not to close DRs and UDRs. --Yann (talk) 13:53, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Please be polite to people on the help desk...

... or just don't answer them at all. [1]]: "What are you even here for?" was way out of line. - Jmabel ! talk 04:18, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Well... :( Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 05:46, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

I was thinking "fym create an entry? Are you trying to go to Wikidata?" Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 05:47, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Which is more or less where I went with my reply. But "What are you even here for?" is about an inch from "Why don't you just go away?" If you don't know how to word these things politely, especially when dealing with newbies, please stay off the help desk. - Jmabel ! talk 18:59, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

User talk setup

Hi. Please reduce the maxarchivesize to 13K given the need for Special:Diff/1078274305.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:39, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

I did so as a precaution, but I don't get the point ngl Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 13:40, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Wait shit I think I get it Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 13:41, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, now why no timestamp here?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:16, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice

i have quickly deleted my files page, i am so sorry. WelpThisIsMyUsername (talk) 17:36, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

undeletion followup

So my IP address is now blocked and I can't reply to your comment on my request for undeletion. My answer to your opposition is: I only log on to Wikimedia commons once every 2 or 3 weeks. I'm not going to be able to reply to something that is time sensitive. But besides "why didn't you do that, you should have known..." look, I made a fair argument. The picture was deleted for no good reason. So I missed this "window of opportunity", so what. Please consider my original request for undeletion. ALPHASKYYYXXX (talk) 02:00, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

@ALPHASKYYYXXX: generally, blocked users are only allowed to edit their user talk pages; how is your IP blocked? Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 06:56, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

Probably because I use various Wi-fi networks and VPNs. I'm homeless and rely on public Wifis at libraries and coffee shops, and use a VPN often because they're open unsecured networks. It seemed to just happen yesterday after I submitted a dispute for the deletion. Besides that, I would really appreciate it if my photo was restored. I'm sorry that I was not in the loop in a more timely manner - the email I have associated with my account is one of many emails I use and I don't check it more than once every week or two. I don't see why this photo should be excluded from all of the others in the same topic, like I said, look up "adult diaper" in the search field. Some of those photos are a joke compared to mine. ALPHASKYYYXXX (talk) 00:17, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) That sounds to me more like there are more photos that ought to be deleted than that this one ought to be restored. - Jmabel ! talk 05:20, 16 April 2026 (UTC).

@Whyiseverythingalreadyused: it's very possible for someone who is moving around to land at an IP that is blocked, especially if it is considered an open proxy. It's happened to me occasionally. - Jmabel ! talk 05:20, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

File:Rmiralbes.jpg

Hola Whyiseverythingalreadyused, estoy muy sorprendido de que hayas borrado una fotografía que se encuentra, con los permisos correspondientes para ser utilizada en Commons, en la cuenta oficial que la Prelatura Opus Dei, de la Iglesia Católica, tiene en Flickr. ¿Serías tan amable de decirme el motivo del borrado? Te agradeceré que vuelvas a restaurar la fotografía, ya que cuenta con los permisos pertinentes. Muchas gracias por tu atención. Un cordial saludo, --Hard (talk) 10:58, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

¿Y tú no hablas inglés? Te explicaré en español (no soy hablador nativo) mi razón de nominar la imagen para el borrado

Esa imagen se marca con la licencia Atribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 4.0, y recuerde que las imágenes no comerciales están prohibidas a Commons

En la notificación a ti sobre su borrado, atempté decirte en inglés que no te culpé por creí que estuviste en confusión sobre la política de licencias... pero sin embargo, ya sabes nuestra prohibición a las imagenes no comerciales (que también aplica a las imagenes que prohiben la creación de obras derivadas; véase es:Licencias Creative Commons para más información) Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 11:24, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Ah, so you do speak English, just not too well? Or... Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 11:29, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello Whyiseverythingalreadyused,

Honestly, I don't speak English. Languages don't come easy to me. I apologize for that.

I am writing to you in English because I used Google Translate.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

Indeed, I mistakenly thought that the photo permission was correct.

Kind regards, Hard (talk) 07:34, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Ah, yo sé

Hablo español jajaja Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 07:54, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Sockpuppet template

Please read the documentation at Template:Sockpuppet. I believe your edit Special:Diff/1206043999 contradicts your own edit summary. (The edit means there was checkuser confirmation, the edit summary suggests there was not.) - Jmabel ! talk 20:58, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

I got permission from photographer

Hello Gymrat16. You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful. This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions.

I got permission from the photographer so how can I do these copyright processes correctly because i don't want these warnings anymore? Gymrat16 (talk) 12:59, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Please read our licencing policy carefully. I also recommend you to read Commons:Flickr files and Commons:Flickr files/Appeal for license change. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 13:21, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

@Gymrat16: See also COM:THIRD.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:45, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Template:Mapy.com CC-BY-SA

Move of {{Mapy.com CC-BY-SA}} wasn't quite what I had expected: you didn't even move sub-templates (Template:Mapy.com CC-BY-SA/doc, Template:Mapy.com CC-BY-SA/i18n). I also expected that translusions would have been fixed. (I applied for a move because of that, otherwise I would have done it myself months ago).

Do not close DRs

Hi, Please do not close deletion requests, e.g. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Meeting of envoys and ambassadors for Eastern Partnership (cropped).jpg. Thanks, Yann (talk) 12:50, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks again :) Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 12:51, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

Template:Unsigned2

Hi. Why did you remove the subject template in Special:Diff/1214343237 and Special:Diff/1214825341 without a substantive Edit Summary?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 10:55, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

I recall it was extra stuff added by a bot; let me find the original diff Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 10:57, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

here it is Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 10:58, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

(I personally considered it extra ngl) Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 10:58, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

It is not extra, as it is part of the remit of Stang (talk)'s bot SignBot. Please stop removing it. Do you have something against timestamps? This is the second time we have had to discuss them.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:04, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

"Do you have something against timestamps?"

No? Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 11:24, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

So will you stop?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 11:28, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Yes. Whyiseverythingalreadyused (t · c · he/him) 11:37, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Mentor Me! Images marked for deletion citing COM:OOS

Hi @Whyiseverythingalreadyused, I have noticed that you marked a good number of our images uploaded by@Ojochegbe3572 as part of the program. You earlier cited COM:OOS as the reason for deletion; meanwhile, you seem to be neglecting COM:SCOPE. You also seem to have marked images from the Tyap Wikimedians User Group, related to the community's Wiki Loves Africa campaign, which is still part of COM:SCOPE of Wikimedia activities. There was a previous chain of discussion related to this action. Perhaps you may want to check here. The images are meant to serve as evidence for our programs and can be used for educational purposes as well, and also for prizes for members of our community. So, I do not see a reason why anyone would want to delete such. Friday musa (talk) 16:05, 19 May 2026 (UTC)
