CfD premature closure

Please reopen the discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/11/Category:Abkuh Aliabad.

And what do you want to discuss about? I already explained everything. Stop wasting people's time. --Orijentolog (talk) 08:02, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this doesn't need a discussion. I have deleted it as an empty category as it seems to have been created in confusion. en:Abkuh Aliabad is a village in the Kashmar County, so images about Kashmar County cannot not be categorised there (unless those are from Abkuh Aliabad village itself, which isn't the case here. As such,  No action needed from here. Regards, Aafi (talk) 08:31, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. POS78 intended to give it for deletion, not discussion. This is not his first time because he don't understand process very well, so I did it for him, and he thanked me for action. Regarding the place, it's not that we have any material for it, categories can be opened even if we don't know coords. But in this particular case, we don't know do we actually have any material from it, because sources about its location are contradicting. Therefore only solution is deletion. --Orijentolog (talk) 08:38, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly is the urgency to close this? Especially as we do have such images.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 09:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We don't have. --Orijentolog (talk) 10:12, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's something you can say in the discussion if you believe so.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 10:34, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no value in keeping a category when we don't have anything to put in it. It can always be created again later if useful. If the creator sole user of the category basically says, "oops, I'm not even sure that's really the name for the place these things came from," which appears to be the case here, there is really nothing to discuss. This could have been a speedy deletion. @Enhancing999: if you know of files that you believe would belong in the category, then there is nothing to stop you from recreating it. This was effectively a {{SD|C2}}, which is a deletion without prejudice. - Jmabel ! talk 19:56, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question is if we just do as we like (or some admin feels like it today) or if we try to have some reasonable predetermined approach to it.
In the meantime, the name of the place has been edited out from a series of images that initially had it.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 22:47, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just had a similar conversation with Enhancing999 a few days ago when they objected to a different CfD closure. I'm not sure why they've chosen this hill to die on, but I really hope that this doesn't become a pattern of behavior. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 08:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the meantime, an admin reviewed the non-admin closure and completed the missing elements in the discussion. Also, the category is deleted since.

Datasets about potential logos - November 2024 uploads

Hi all, we have released a new dataset of potential logos uploaded in November 2024, together with another one of those which have already been deleted as of 2024-12-02. We are sharing them with you for your consideration.

This is part of our current work with the logo detection tool. We hope it will be useful for your moderation activities.

If you encounter issues with the datasets or have comments/requests, please reach out to me or to Sannita (WMF).

Thanks for your attention! –-MFossati (WMF) (talk) 12:08, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This file is a copyright violation. It is JD Vance's Senator portrait, and the user duplicated it in low quality and claimed to have made it under CC0. Can something be done about this? PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 16:38, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done Tagged, as well as all other files uploaded by this user. Yann (talk) 16:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aren't Senator's portraits PD US Gov? All the Best -- Chuck Talk 16:34, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
May be, but we need a proper source, date, author, and license. Currently, there is nothing. Yann (talk) 18:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
they're all duplicates of existing files, i should have mentioned that PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 18:35, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation! All the Best -- Chuck Talk 20:02, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to end a deletion request

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:PLANS Guangxi (LHD-32), This discussion has taken too long and has already reached a good conclusion and solution. --Cwek (talk) 00:42, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't feel confident enough in my knowledge of the copyright policies of various Chinese government entities to close this myself. I'd appreciate if a few more admins have a look (or one who is confident). - Jmabel ! talk 17:48, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flickr bot Malfunction Again!

Dear Admins and Other Users, The Flickr bot has stopped working for 1 full day now since late December 4, 2024...and it is now about December 6, 2024. The flickr backlog is now 1450+ images. I don't know who can fix the bot and I am not sure what is going wrong. Can someone fix the bot…again. Sorry. AntiCompositeNumber

1 day now. Can someone start the usurping process on wikitech, or is the owner still active on wikimedia? Pinging @Stemoc, as they have helped deal with this in the past. All the Best --Leoboudv (talk) 01:50, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging the maintainers: @Eatcha, Multichill, Stang, Steinsplitter, WhitePhosphorus, and Zhuyifei1999: --Leoboudv (talk) 01:50, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We need to active maintainers for this bot if we want to allow flickr uploads by anyone other than LRs and Admins. If that's too much to ask for, a method to restart the bot, or have it restart itself if it takes too long to review a file. All the Best -- Chuck Talk 04:16, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment: Thank you to the user who restarted the flickrbot. I don't know what is the problem with the flickrbot. All I know is that if I had not just uploaded an image today from flickr, I would not have even known that the flickrbot had malfunctioned again. Very scary! Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 05:03, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please clear month-old backlog
