Deletion requests at mk.wikibooks

Status:    Done

I have been looking around mk.wikibooks, and there appear to be a significant number of copyvios and pages written in the wrong language. Ultimately this wiki needs review by someone more familiar with Wikibooks as well as the Macedonian language.

I've tagged the 89 most obvious copyvios or wrong language pages: b:mk:Категорија:Страници за брзо бришење --Rschen7754 19:42, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Mass deletion of files on gan.wiki

Status:    Done

In 2020 I made a post about unlicensed files etc. here. There was no reply and it seems not much happend. So 2 weeks ago I suggested to delete all the files at gan:Wikipedia:廳下#Mass_deletion_of_files. I also informed the uploader who is has not been active since 2018. Still no reply.

There are 89 files in gan:分類:Files without a license. A few of them might be PD-old if there was information and source to back up the claim.

Can we delete the files now? And how should we do it? Do I need to add a deletion template or can an admin delete them? Do you prefer a mass deletion or would you like to check each file manually to be absolutely sure there is no license? Would you like only to delete the photos and add PD-old to the files that looks pretty old? --MGA73 (talk) 17:33, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Also notified gan.wiki at gan:Special:Diff/396448. --MGA73 (talk) 17:36, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Done. --Sotiale (talk) 04:07, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Signature change request

Status:    Withdrawn

If it's possible to change my username on the list of signed users (Diff). I had my username changed to en:FlightTime some years back and would my entry changed on this list. I don't think there's any transparency issue here, but if it cannot be changed, please ping me when the status changes. Cheers, --- FlightTime (open channel) 01:43, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

@FlightTime Probably better to ask the WMF, since it's their (archived) noticeboard. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:26, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
@AntiCompositeNumber: Thank you. It's really no big deal to me, I just happened upon it and thought it might me better to have the current username, but I guess it's not broke..... Cheers, (nice to see you around) - FlightTime (open channel) 15:43, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
@FlightTime: I marked this as withdrawn per your last comment; that page is an archive as of 2015, so I don't expect that it would be updated for changes made after then, such as your rename from 2017. It also wouldn't require a steward; local admins have noted renames on there before (see the entries with "formerly..." on them). — xaosflux Talk 14:31, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
