Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake?

Sorry

No Trade, it's I that have to apologise to you about the tone in which I replied to you. Some time ago, I was having disagreements with another admin and the issue became - to say the least - complex. Therefore, I sincerely apologise about what I wrote you were certainly in good faith when notifying me of the missing attribution.

Kind regards,

Re: Questions at Deletion request

At this DR you asked why I tagged the file with COM:CSD G5 – this was due to that particular revision being both vandalism, and a copyright violation. Thus, it qualified for speedy deletion. Please see the CSD page for more information.

A vandal uploaded a new, malicious version of a file, and multiple users where reverting these changes. That is why you saw many revisions. Those revisions have been deleted from view now. Happy trails! --dsprc ^(talk) 23:38, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Backrooms subcategories

Letting you know that I've raised these categories, some of which you created, for discussion at Commons:Categories_for_discussion/2023/02/Category:The_Backrooms. Belbury (talk) 12:07, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Nude women

Hi, kindly please undo this batch. I tried to undo it via the EditGroups interface, but it keep timing out on me. bdijkstra (overleg) 17:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

As far as i can tell the images in the batch does feature women who are naked. May i ask why you wish to revert it first? Trade (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

The images are not the problem. The problem is that d:Q19960403 is not what you thought it was. bdijkstra (overleg) 23:10, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Better now? Trade (talk) 23:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, thanks. I hope you'll more thoroughly check your items before future batch jobs. bdijkstra (overleg) 14:39, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Is there anyway to see if there are more images using d:Q19960403? Trade (talk) 08:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, via the Query Service. bdijkstra (overleg) 09:26, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Category:Unidentified_cosplay_by_work

Unidentified cosplay by work has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion 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. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Strange category modification

Why did you change the category of File:X-Files Dana Scully Cosplay.jpg to "Unidentified female cosplay" when the cosplay is very specifically identified? -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 17:34, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

You seem to be doing a lot of that. If something is identified, it is not unidentified. These edits seem very inappropriate to me. What are you trying to do? -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 17:40, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

You also added Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections to Category:Female cosplay. What's going on? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:58, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Accident. Sry. Trade (talk) 18:59, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Regarding this edit please note that I for one am not attempting " public shaming". I see you working on Commons with lots of good energy, which I applaud. But sometimes I think you go in wrong directions - I ask why so I can help steer you in right directions. Maybe some English language category names are not clear to you - if you have questions, please ask. If I can be of help, ask on my talk page. Thank you. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Female cosplay

Hi. Something went wrong with your Cat-a-lot edit from 18:54. A few deletion requests, user talk pages and COM:AN/B were put into Category:Female cosplay. I already undid some of the obvious ones, but I don't know whether any of the files are miscategorized now. TilmannR (talk) 19:55, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

"NSFW"

Assuming you were serious about your question of whether an image of female breasts would be NSFW in the United States: big difference between what might be OK at a design agency in Seattle, a construction company in Los Angeles, and a government office in Wichita. My guess is that the first two would find File:Fremont Solstice 2012 IMG 6577 (7390645750).jpg or even File:Cairo Postcard Trust - La nuditee arabe.jpg pretty innocuous, while the last would not. File:2012-09-14 Eris3.jpg would probably be a problem at all of them, unless the construction company was entirely male and very "old school". I think it comes down not just to what is show, but how "sexualized" the image is. It also definitely comes down to local culture. In Seattle, where I live, although it would be against custom to walk around naked, it would not be against any law, but it would be if your behavior seems calculated to make others uncomfortable (yeah, I know, super-hard line to determine, and a few times the courts have had some trouble with it). So there are parks here where nude sunbathing is not viewed as any sort of problem (except by the occasional prude), and if someone complained to the police they would probably be laughed at; there's a general understanding that you don't do that in certain other parks with the same legal status, and a complaint there would probably be result in someone being told to cover up because they were making people uncomfortable. Obviously, subtleties like that are way beyond what any filter here could handle, one of the many reasons why a filter should typically give a warning and make someone click an extra time, not entirely hide material. But, honestly, in the original case here: I'd be pretty unhappy if I were showing off Commons to a random friend, did a search on an innocuous topic, and the first results I got were tantamount to porn videos already running. Even a lot of porn sites wouldn't show you something that explicit until you clicked through or at least hovered (they'd show a still image). - Jmabel ! talk 18:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

• I'd also add (slightly more relevant to Commons, though not to the topic at hand): while I've taken and published a lot of photos of people walking naked/near-naked in a parade, I wouldn't do the same with someone sunbathing in a park. Legally, the situation is the same, but the former have clearly made a choice to put themselves on display, and the latter may well just be trying to get an even tan. - Jmabel ! talk 18:05, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

  If it were me i would probably split it into explicit, nudity and suggestive. Trade (talk) 18:45, 7 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Which is close to what Flickr does. They, of course, have the advantage that all images are associated closely with their uploader; they can put the burden of classifying on the uploader; and say that it you repeatedly don't get it right, they presume all of your uploads are explicit.
  • I think here on Commons, violence is as much of an issue as nudity. - Jmabel ! talk 04:28, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

No women

Hello! Re: your edit here. Where is there a woman in that photo? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 18:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
