- File:Christiana Moreau 2024.jpg - same photoshoot as above
Although you claim to be the actual photographer in each case, none of them look like selfies and one says "par Pascal Winkel". In fact, they all look like professional studio portraits. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:49, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- Vous avez raison pour les 4 des photos ci-dessus qui étaient de Pascal Winkel, un ami qui m'avait autorisée à m'en servir.
- Au départ, je ne savais pas que c'était interdit.
- Quand je l'ai compris, j'ai remplacé par une photo personnelle prise avec mon téléphone samsung. Ce n'est pas un selfie mais une photo où j'avais enclenché le retardateur. Cette dernière photo était VRAIMENT de moi. Je le jure! Christiana Moreau (talk) 15:01, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- Since you have made incorrect statements on several images, it is somewhat difficult to believe anything you say. Image #4 and image #5 look like they are from the same photoshoot. Which image do you claim is a selfie? . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:07, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- Je ne vois plus les photos. Il s'agit de la dernière, celle ou je suis penchée sur un livre et où j'écris une dédicace.
- Je vous jure que c'est une photo personnelle faite avec mon téléphone samsung.

That is #2. How did you take it? You are not holding the camera. Also note that if Pascal Winkel sends a free license using VRT, they all can be restored. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:17, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
- Je ne tenais pas le téléphone dans la main, je l'avais posé sur une étagère et j'avais déclenché le retardateur pour prendre la pose.
- Je n'ai pas besoin des photos de Pascal, juste la mienne, celle qui était sur ma page Wikipedia et qui me convenait. Christiana Moreau (talk) 15:24, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
Done . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:26, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Question regarding a DR
[edit]Hi, in Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Basp1 it seems like you also deleted files that have/had a CC0 license at the source website. How come? Is the CC0 license at the source somehow invalid? Nakonana (talk) 19:31, 17 October 2025 (UTC)
Nakonana, The Basp1 deletions are numerous and complicated. Which files do you mean? . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:11, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking into it. I'm talking about the DRs that pointed out that there's a CC0 license on the archived source page. The files are:
- The archived source page can be found here. It contains the text
استفاده از تمام مطالب و تصاویر این وب سایت با ذکر منبع آزاد است . CC-BY. CC0
(Google translation: All content and images on this website are free to use, provided the source is mentioned. CC-BY. CC0). The "CC0" bit is even a hyperlink. If you click the hyperlink, it will lead you to https://web.archive.org/web/20180831141034/https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0. They explicitly declared a CC license and even linked the relevant license. I don't understand why it would be invalid. Nakonana (talk) 13:24, 18 October 2025 (UTC)- I don't see any of those files at the archive page you cite. My closing comments relate to the source pages named in the uploads. In the first two cases, my closing comment was:
- Deleted: per nomination. The two license statements are similar (Google translation)
- The use of content is allowed with reference to the source
- Use of the content is permitted with acknowledgement of the source.
- These are not acceptable. COM:L says, "The license must be perpetual (non-expiring) and non-revocable." There is no statement here that the licenses are irrevocable. They are not CC-0 as claimed.
- Deleted: per nomination. The two license statements are similar (Google translation)
- . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:35, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
- I obviously can't check the exact source page bc the files are deleted, but have you checked whether the source pages was archived at the time of upload, and whether the archived source page from the time of upload had the above CC0 statement? Nakonana (talk) 13:46, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
- I did not. As I noted above, the Basp1 DRs were a morass, and I spent a lot of time sorting them out. We have {{Licensereview}} to deal with the type of problem you are suggesting -- sources that change the license -- but Basp1 did not add that tag to their images. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:54, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
- At least three of them were kept in a DR in 2018, so I thought that at least those three were safe from deletion, because they have already been reviewed by an admin 7 years ago (see: diff). If I'm reading the DRs correctly, the three kept files were File:MosadeghCairo.jpg, File:Iran streetCairo.jpg and File:Kariz kaykhosrow.jpg. Nakonana (talk) 15:21, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- I don't think you can assume that an Admin read "Use of the content is permitted with acknowledgement of the source" and realized that it was not an acceptable license. At the time of that DR, Majora had been an Admin for three months. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:20, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- But why do you keep ignoring the "CC-BY" and the "CC0" bit which is even linked to the CC0 article at the creative commons license? The text in its original language says
استفاده از تمام مطالب و تصاویر این وب سایت با ذکر منبع آزاد است . CC-BY. CC0
(highlighted by me), and the CC0 bit is hyperlinked to creativecommons.org. I don't understand why this is not a valid license when they even linked to the creativecommons.org-website. One does not have to spell out every condition of the license like Commons does in its templates. It's enough to just say "CC-BY" and / or "CC0" and then link to creativecommons.org, which was done here. They want the source to be acknowledged, that's CC-BY, which they also state in that quote. What exactly makes this a not acceptable license? Sorry for bugging you with this for so long, I'm just really trying (and currently failing) to understand the issue with the license statement on the source website of those files. I'd think, saying "CC-BY. CC0" as they did would be enough. Nakonana (talk) 17:20, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

How Do I Upload a Picture that is not mine?
[edit]Hello, I hope you can help me with this, I want to upload a picture of Rixi Moncada, a Honduran Presidential Candidate, how can I do so without breaking the Wikipedia rules? — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2803:9AE0:114A:A800:FDEB:B794:2431:4A52 (talk) 00:52, 18 October 2025 (UTC)
- First you must create a User account. IP editors are not allowed to make uploads.
- Then, it depends:
- If the image is freely licensed at the source or PD, you can upload it and show the reason for it being permitted. Add {{Licensereview}} to the page so that another Commons editor will check to see that the license is valid.
- If the image is not freely licensed at the source, then you must get the copyright holder (usually the photographer) to send a free license using VRT.
- In either case, go to Special:UploadWizard to do the upload and follow the prompts there. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:21, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

RfA
[edit]Hello, I wanted to ask for your opinion. Do you think I should apply for adminship on Commons? Since you’re already an experienced administrator, your opinion is important to me. I have a good understanding of licensing rules (especially in Central Asian countries), and from time to time I participate in DR. After becoming an administrator I also plan to work on CSD and RfR. I am already an administrator on the kywiki, but there I mostly handle technical tasks and sometimes act as a mediator.
The main reason I’m considering requesting admin rights is that there are no administrators from my region — that is, from Central Asia. I could easily handle requests in languages such as Russian, Kyrgyz, and other related languages (see Robert Lindsay, p. 9). I will also ask other administrators for their opinions and summarize their feedback before deciding whether I should apply for adminship or not. Incall talk 16:48, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- Incall: I spent some time looking over your contributions and while you have done a great deal of useful moving of files, you have done very little with DRs, which are the principal activity of Admins. I think the community will value your language skills, but remember that Google translate has gotten so good, that language skills do not have the importance they had ten years ago. Also Kyrgyz is not often seen here -- I am not aware of ever having seen it, although I could have seen the Cyrillic and thought it was Russian.
- With all that said, unless someone turns up a serious problem in your record, I think it more likely than not that your RfA would succeed. There's no penalty for trying, except perhaps a bruised ego. I should add that I usually do not vote in RfAs because I am often the Bureaucrat that closes them. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:26, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
Hello Jim,
you closed that DR with its numerous files as Deleted, but the files are still there. Please either delete or keep them. Thanks. Regards --Rosenzweig τ 11:05, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
