• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.

Hello

This is an important message regarding this page.

This page uses Structured Discussions/Flow, an obsolete tool that causes many maintenance problems. It has been decided to remove this tool from the wikis.

As of December 16, it will no longer be possible to add a new topic or post a message on this page.

Before this date, you can move or have this page moved to a subpage, in order to archive it. Once moved, this page will become a standard discussion page.

If you get this message on your personal talk page, it is probably because you turned Structured Discussions on, using the Beta features page. Please check there if you can to turn Structured Discussions off.

If you haven't moved this page by December 16, a script will automatically move the page to an archive page (the format will be Page name/Flow). The page using Structured Discussions/Flow will then be made read-only.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Arjuna garu, I noticed that some village photos uploaded by User:RamuSR2212 have permission issues. Looks like the user has not released permissions for the files as expected by wikimedia commons. I suspect many of these photos have been added to AP village wikidata items too. The user had similar deletion warnings in the past, and looks like no step was taken to clear them up. So, we can assume that no action will be taken by the user now regarding the deletion warnings. Should we replace the photos in question or is there something else we can do to retain the photos?

@Kimeerat Your suscipion is correct. @DaxServer initiated a notice for deletion on Commons. The deletion action will happen in a week or so. You can add alternate images with valid license and rank one such image as preferred for now. Bots will automatically delete problematic images when those are deleted on commons.

Arjuna garu, in some village Wikidata items, while adding media legend in Telugu, I replaced the one in English. There are some 5-6 places that this happened. I realised later that they might be needed for the descriptions in English Wikipedia. How can I reverse those deletions?

@User:Kimeerat, You have to look at the "View history" of each of your edits to see the changes you made by selecting the your edit version and earlier edit version for comparison using the small circles in the page, one from the left column and the other from the right column. This is exactly like what you do at Wikipedia. If you find you deleted english media legends, you can look at the comparison and add them back to create the next version. Or you can select undo and to restore the previous version and then you can add telugu media legends properly.

In this Commons discussion, we though there was no tool to change the rank of hundreds of statements. Well, I just discovered Ranker, and marked 350 statements as preferred, see my contributions.

@LennardHofmann, Thanks for the update.

Hi. Does it come under Dhone revenue division or Nandyal revenue division? Sakshi says Nandyal while Govt website says Dhone

As per the official gazette https://github.com/satya-kvs/andhra_pradesh/blob/main/GO_Andhra%20Pradesh%20District%20Reorganization%202022_04_03/NANDYAL_gazettes_1648931261417.pdf , it is Nandyal. Govt district websites and documents are not trust worthy as per my knowledge. Only Statistical handbook can be taken as standard. Unfortunately the government has not yet made public the document that was used in photo shoots.

Thanks
