Deletion Request for Categories

Sorry, I am just dumb. But your suggestion to just follow the the instructions given by the button on the toolbar on the left just doesn't work for categories, because there is no button on the left for the suggestion of deletion of categories. So I tried to follow the instructions you gave me, which obviously weren't clear enough either. We don't need to redirect Category:Smokestaks Kraftwerk Scholven anywhere, we just need it gone. In the past I just let such categories empty and they where dumped quasi automatically. I know that this is also bad practice, so I tried the deletion process on my own. Well, to repeat myself, I am obviously just dumb. We can play back and forth for just a time longer, or if you feel annoyed you could try to add instructions for deletion requests for other things than just images somewhere prominently, so that even lusers like me can find it. Wuselig (talk) 05:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Wuselig: I'm sorry, categories are a little different; for them, we have had discussions rather than deletions per COM:CFD since 2007, and thus a separate "Nominate category for discussion" button. However, since that category qualifies for COM:CSD#G7, I nominated it for speedy deletion under that criterion. Hopefully, I provided instructions which are easier for you to follow in this edit.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 10:19, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: Thanks. You may upload that rendition of The Internationale here in 2027 and put it in Category:Audio files of The Internationale‎ (instrumental), but I am very concerned about the quality, due to the scratchiness. I see no point in reopening the discussion.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:11, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

How do I set a reminder? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 15:12, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: Some of your devices may be able to do that.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:14, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

 Done – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 15:18, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Copyright question

What would the copyright status of this be? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 15:23, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: "(c)Paul Halsall Aug 1997".   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:53, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

What about the audio? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 15:55, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: I can't retrieve any of the audio.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Any answer? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 17:55, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: How would I convert that into a format which fits COM:FT#Audio?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 05:11, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

I think a bot is doing that. – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 05:43, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

https://bun.filedit.ch/VmHQyoenxrrHwcNXxpGf.wav – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 05:49, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: Thanks, so how does that compare with the contents of Category:Audio files of The Internationale (instrumental)? If it compares favorably, you could upload and categorize there.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 06:05, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

But, what is the copyright status? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 06:08, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: Still copyrighted until 1 January 2027 if that is the same rendition.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 06:16, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

It is a different rendition to the one on russian-records.com – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 06:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: Did you convert the midi file, the ra file, or something else?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 06:20, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, check the last link I sent (it was converted from ra). – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 06:22, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: How did you convert it from ra? Re the copyright, after like 95 years from the death of Pierre De Geyter, composer (again, 1 January 2027), we would still need to wait for like 95 years from the death of each musician. Conversion from the midi file would obviate that need to wait.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 06:32, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

If the date for De Geyter compositions is 2027, then how are all the other internationale files here? – Ilovemydoodle (talk) 06:35, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

@Ilovemydoodle: Sorry, I don't know. Maybe ask at COM:VPC.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 06:55, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Question about Painting

Hi @Jeff G.: , this painting of Hernán Cortés is from the 17th century. So it should be in the public domain, is that right? -Artanisen (talk) 17:54, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

@Artanisen: Probably using {{PD-art}}, if only the site would respond. See also Category:Hernán Cortés.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 05:13, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the advice. -Artanisen (talk) 18:46, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

@Artanisen: You're welcome. So now the site responds for me, but gives an error and redirects to https://mediateca.inah.gob.mx/repositorio/ . :(   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 01:14, 19 July 2022‎ (UTC)

@Artanisen: I see you were able to upload File:Hernán Cortés Retrato Portrait 17th century.png, it looks good!.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 09:29, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Yes, thanks for your help. -Artanisen (talk) 11:18, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

@Artanisen: You're welcome.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:36, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Question

Hello Jeff, I was wondering if you could take a look at this. In an effort to give readers the link to information in English, I tried to add the datalink to this specific category. Микола Василечко does not think that is correct. Since you know every (hidden) corner here, I was wondering what possibly can be done to help readers who do noet speak/write/read for example, Ukranian, Russian, Aremenian. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 15:47, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Lotje Add a translation to the photo in English! Example {{en|1=Anatol Bazylevych - Ukrainian religious, public and military figure}}, If there is no page in English Wikipedia in English. Regards! --Микола Василечко (talk) 15:54, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Dear Микола Василечко, since I do not speak/write Ukranian, I am very sorry not being able to translate texts into English, but if you are in the opinion, information from Wikidata can be copy/pasted on the files, that is fine by me. On the other hand, as I stated before, as a non Ukranian language speaker/reader, I would not know where to find the wikidatalink on the Ukranian language page of Базилевич Анатоль, not everybody is prepared to go through all the options to finally arrive at Елемент Вікіданих. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 16:03, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Lotje link to Wikidata is in chapter File usage on other wikis! You is administrator in West-Vlamsche Wikipedia? Don't know where the links are from file information? --Микола Василечко (talk) 16:30, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to have to comment: it is not me, but the reader in general who is important. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 16:32, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

@Lotje: Linking through a category like Category:Anatol Bazylevych can be enough.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 17:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Jeff, thanks. strange hearing you say that, because I have been reading somewhere (a long time ago,... so many guidelines everywhere... sigh) that linking to the commons categories is not desirable, but then again, I agree, this would be the ultimate solution, I mean, in case there is not a Anatol Bazylevych (Q12080299) page on Wikidata. On the other hand, I could also ask my dear friend George Chernilevsky if he could translate for example this. But, imho that would be to the uploader to ask. Lotje (talk) 04:52, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

 Done I've added a translation to the file's talk page. The filename translates as "From the preface of the translator (Priest Anatoly Bazilevich) to the book "In the footsteps of the Teacher" " -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 07:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Another Flickr request, please!

Hi Jeff, not for a copyright change this time, but for additional location info. Could you mention to Carlos Eduardo Joos that his photos are really nice, and how pleased we are that he has chosen to use cc-by for his pictures, but if he could also add a few details about where they were taken, they would be even more valuable. In particular for File:Bananaquit (2022).jpg from his Flickr here; some location details will allow determination of the subspecies (not possible without the location). Thanks! - MPF (talk) 11:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

@MPF:  Sent.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Super, thanks! Can you ping me if he gives you a reply, please :-) MPF (talk) 14:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

@MPF: Yes, but I am interested in your reason(s) for avoiding a Flickr account.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:32, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Mainly because there aren't 50 hours in a day :-)) I used to have one, but lost it when my old email got hacked, and they wouldn't accept an access request from a different email. After that, I've just never had the time to getting round to signing up again. Perhaps I should! - MPF (talk) 14:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
