Discussion about new tool for detecting logos

Hi all! I just wanted to notify you of a discussion at the Technical Village Pump about a new tool for detecting logos. Since they are the second reason for media deletion, I thought admins might be interested in chiming in. Thanks in advance! Sannita (WMF) (talk) 10:19, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Mass-rename request

We spotted that a bunch of images we recently uploaded from a GLAm had a typo in their metadata.

For files in Category:Tollie Zellman please replace all occurrences "Tollie Zellamn" in the filenames with the correct "Tollie Zellman".

About a deletion request (stagnation)

Hi. I had mentioned the subject in my previous topic, additional information was requested, which I provided in the deletion request and based on what has been said there, there is possible copyright violation. As of the last information I provided, it has been a month and there has been no response on the matter. Has anyone checked this? Is the information listed so far not enough? What happens? IM-yb (talk) 17:31, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

@IM-yb: That DR's subject is in Category:Deletion requests February 2024 and that DR is transcluded to Commons:Deletion requests/2024/02/23. Per COM:DR, Admins are still working the backlog in Commons:Deletion requests/2024/01, currently up to January 17th. Please be patient.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

"Nazi Zionist"

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Nazi-Sionist Brazil.svg. I would like to see this deleted sooner rather than later. It seems to me to get awfully close to hate speech, and does not document anything in the actual world other than itself. - Jmabel ! talk 04:39, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done Deleted and DR closed. ─ Aafī (talk) 07:34, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Aafi, a wise decision. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 07:40, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Please ban User:GutenTagLieder globally

Nazi troll. See his discussion page and File:Reichsleiter_Alexander_2.jpg. Thanks, Mussklprozz (talk) 08:18, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

You need to request a global block at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Steward_requests/Global . --Túrelio (talk) 08:36, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done Blocked as well as BacnUnstafaik (talk · contribs). Everything deleted. Yann (talk) 08:39, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

File:Wiki-patricia-holly-purcell.djvu

Can an admin look at File:Wiki-patricia-holly-purcell.djvu? It seems like it might be out of COM:SCOPE. This is a new user who posted at en:WP:HD#New Unconfirmed Account and they might be mistaking Wikipedia/Commons for some kind of LinkedIn type of profile site. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done Personal bio, out of scope. Deleted, user warned. This user also wrote here. Yann (talk) 14:02, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Yann. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

请问管理员，能不能对两个生僻字添加显示支持？

我新建的一个词条用到了一个生僻字，在英语的wiki下可以显示，唯独中文wiki不显示。另外一个词条的生僻字也不显示。 分别是“晛”（xian，4声）和“魟”（hong，2声），非常感谢。 Caiptony (talk) 10:33, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

不知道你在哪遇到這些問題。

似乎不屬於commons用戶能夠幫你的範圍。

參考zh:Wikipedia:格式手册/生僻字。 RZuo (talk) 16:26, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, could an admin look at this request for deletion? [[1]]? derivative work. Thanks, --Msbbb (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done Deleted. Yann (talk) 15:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
