I am presently unable to rectify the tagging problem for this, since I am topic banned from working on schools. I would appreciate if you would upload this as a non-free logo for me, I've done hundreds of these but clearly here made a mistake. That's at Francis Borgia College, Gandia.

Not clear why you added ((di-orphaned fair use)) tag as "The following pages on the English Wikipedia link to this file...: Tikki Tikki Tembo." User 172.96.30.163 had (probably unintentionally) deleted the article's link to the image on 16:00, 10 June 2018. Therefore, deleted the tag. RichardKPSun (talk) 02:53, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
Owing to the some objectionable changes in Global copyright policy, which would require fundamental changes in the way many websites operate including Wikimedia projects, I am considering leaving Wikipedia, and upon that departure if it happens terminating any licenses for separable content I've been able to contribute.

As an administrator, you're not being very friendly and collaborative with your contribution to this discussion thus far. Stop with the threatening attitude, me and Shakespeare have come to an agreement. The problems been sorted. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 12:08, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
Bullying is defined as a person attack on an individual, I did not attack Shakespeare as an individual, I told them to leave at the time because their edits was causing questionable harm to Wikipedia. And here you are, rudely barging into a conversation by contributing absolutely nothing to the discussion, and being hypocritical by preaching collaboration yet exercising conflict at every given moment. @SergeCross73:, @Ferret:, this moderator is intimidating me with their moderator status by requesting questions to be answers that I not need to answer. I do not need to tell them why I have uploaded files, they are clearly trying to get the last word on a conversation that has already been dealt with between me and Shakespeare. @Nick:, I apologised to Shakespeare, we came to a consensus, so for you to still try and threaten me like this by demanding answers is the very definition of bullying. I don't owe you anything at all. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 12:00, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
I just want to apologise if I've tried to sound aggressive, that was not my intention. It's just that you making questionable edits followed by a statement of potentially leaving gave the impression that you did not want to edit for the better for the website, but rather, solely for your own amusement. It's entirely your choice as to whether you want to stay or leave, however, if you do wish to stay, please try and contact users directly through their page if you believe they're making questionable edits. That way, a mutual agreement can come to place. Thank you. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 12:05, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

In this edit you added the Template:Information to File:Salt.sill.jpeg, but failed to fill in the author parameter, which has been clearly indicated since 2006 as "... photo taken by uploader.
It's one thing to not realise that "photo taken by uploader" means that the uploader, Bishonen, is the author (by definition). It's quite another to then go to her talk page and complain that the template you added is missing the parameter that you missed. --RexxS (talk) 21:51, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi ShakespeareFan,
Thanks for letting me know about the issue with the above image, that's a bit of a blast-from-the-past for me. As requested, I've updated it's source/author info (made by me, with my mad MS Paint skillz).
As I recall (my memory is extremely hazy on this, and I've had no luck tracking down any talkpage discussions about it), it was a userbox image I made to replace a possibly non-free original, back when there was a crackdown on non-free images in userspaces. However, it looks like my past self didn't get the original deleted from the image history. I'm mostly lurking/inactive on WP these days, so I'm not up to speed on current processes - if you think it's necessary, could you point me towards the best way to get that non-free old version removed?
Thanks and regards,

I'm confused: everything looks correct to me, in particular license (Creative Commons) and source (my own work), and it has been like that since I uploaded it. What am I missing? If there's really a problem, how about fixing it and letting me check the changes.
If there's really something wrong, this would also suggest that there's an issue with the upload page, since I followed the instructions exactly. Groogle (talk) 03:21, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
!ShakespeareFan00: I'm baffled. All the information you want is there. From the displayed page:

!ShakespeareFan00: Sorry, I still don't understand, and you haven't explained. As I said, all the information you want is there, and it has been since I uploaded it. If I'm missing something, please tell me what.

Hello. I'm having a hard time figuring out what the problem is, given that you routinely work on images. The linked image is obviously of French origin, so for it to be moved to Commons, it needs to be PD in both the United States and France. I don't know Pierre La Conte is, much less when he died, so we can't prove the latter. But we do have a pre-1923 publication, so it's licensed perfectly for it to be kept on en.wiki.

The template has an italicization option; see the documentation. Jc86035 (talk) 17:05, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Also, rather than fixing the Lint errors in the individual diagrams, it's probably better to replace the code in the Lua module, since the BSsplit templates are still table-based and they shouldn't be because they're supposed to be text. I don't know if I have time to figure it out but you could try expanding it in Special:ExpandTemplates. Jc86035 (talk) 18:48, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:50, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
I see you have been making a fair number of (what I assume to be) Lint-fixing errors in templates. I must ask that you a) do not mark them as minor, and b) use an edit summary. This will give other editors an indication of what is being done to the templates during your edits. Thank you. Primefac (talk) 17:10, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Hello. The template changes you made to "Speedway event 7p/p" on July 30th here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ASpeedway_event_7p%2Fp&type=revision&diff=852697306&oldid=689796755 have broken a lot of articles with respect to the team name and flag going missing. For example here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Speedway_World_Pairs_Championship and in every single page for each year of this championship we can no longer see the team names, which is pretty much the most essential information in the article. Please could you fix asap. Thank you --Rcclh (talk) 17:10, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

((tag))
template typo; I meant <center>
in general. Dealing with centering is tough because the CSS to replace it with (when used appropriately at all – it should often just be removed, e.g. from image captions) varies widely depending on the element type. We do have class=center
but it only works on block elements. For inline elements it's a hassle, involving interplay between that element and the surrounding container, or converting the inline one into inline-block, which often still doesn't work. The real bear of a case is when (especially in user and project space) <center>...</center>
is applied around a whole block or set of blocks and all their content, producing a CSS conversion situation that has to deal with multiple centring approaches at the same time on different sorts of elements. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:38, 21 July 2018 (UTC)To quote Username123 above: <I think we should just delete this claim as improperly sourced.> Sounds like a good idea to me."
The new parser/linter combo is now treating this as <i ...>
without an ending </i>
, and thus italicizing the entirety of the rest of the page (and not showing the "angle-quoted" comment). This didn't happen so catastrophically before the recent change, because open inline tags were terminated forcibly as soon as another block element opened. I s'pect that almost all cases of <I ...
or <i ...
, site-wide, are going to be things like this, since there is no reason to insert a space there in real HTML <i>
(as <i >
), and <i />
isn't really a thing (it might survive some validators but it has no use case). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 04:34, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
<i>
tag has attributes? There's always a valid space in such cases. People might do this particularly in their custom sigs, since <i style="color:green">Example</i>
is ten fewer bytes than ''<span style="color:green">Example</span>''
, as custom sigs have a 255-byte limit. Similarly, <i class="...">...</i>
, <i id="...">...</i>
and <i lang="...">...</i>
are all valid. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:23, 21 July 2018 (UTC)Hi, Can you check if you can get Filemover and page mover rights. I see you can make good use of these rights. WP:PERM --DBigXray 19:26, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi ShakespeareFan00, I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board. Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 05:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC) |
This is a copyright-clear image, having been published outside the USA prior to 1923 with no claim of copyright. The author has been dead for more than 100 years, the publisher is defunct. Slavish reproductions of copyright-clear materials are not copyrightable; ergo the source of the file is completely irrelevant. I will be removing your erroneous tag.

before tagging a file for splitting please check whether it can actually be split.

That image was uploaded eleven years ago, and I am not sure I remember the source. However, I would note that the source information is irrelevant, given the nature of the image. The image is a document from the United States Census Bureau, which would clearly place it into the public domain, so I'm not entirely certain that the "copyright status may [need to] be checked more easily." I understand the need for content that may have questionable copyright status, but this doesn't seem to meet that metric. I've updated the image page with the best information I can provide. — HiB2Bornot2B talk Go Big Blue! 20:07, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
