Broc

Hi, I noticed you uploaded a number of cheese images from PDphoto.org. Thanks. However, next time you upload some images, please remember to give them more descriptive names (his default file names don't tell us much), put in a better description (instead of just "Cheese", you could at least specify the type of cheese), and give a direct URL to the page containing the image (rather than just "PDphoto.org"). Thanks so much. howcheng {chat} 23:16, 9 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ciao Broc, ti scrivo a proposito di questo tuo intervento. In serata l'utente in questione è passato su IRC e ci ha chiesto spiegazioni possibili per il tuo gesto, dopo aver scoperto che sei italiano. In effetti non ha contestato tanto il tuo gesto, quanto la completa assenza di motivazioni che hai addotto. Puoi immaginarti il suo stupore, quando, dopo essersi assicurato di non avere mai avuto contatti di alcun tipo con te, si è trovato un voto contro (peraltro in spagnolo) e privo di una qualsivoglia indicazione. Se tu potessi fornire chiarimenti, sia noi che l'utente in questione lo apprezzeremmo molto :)

Hi Broc, i'm writing you regarding your intervention on this page. This evening the user in question came on our IRC channel and asked for explanations about your behaviour, as he previously found out that you're italian. In fact, he didn't question your choice, but the absolute lack of reasons you left. You can easily imagine his astonishment when, after being sure he's never had any kind of contact with you, he saw a vote against him (even in spanish) with no reasons. If you could please clarify this, both we and the user above would be very glad :) --Emc2 21:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Donc, per il voto in spagnolo io avevo scritto semplicemente {{contro}} e credevo fosse in italiano... La motivazione del mio parere sfavorevole è che ha fatto così pochi edit negli ultimi mesi che non mi sembrava adatto a fare l'admin. tutto qui... e poi, sono per forza tenuto a dare spiegazioni sul mio parere??? Bye

About the vote expressed in spanish, I just wrote {{contro}} [italian for "against" NbEmc2] as I thought it was in italian... The reason for my vote against him is that he made so few edits within the last months that I don't think he's suitable for the sysop role. that's all... besides, am I really forced to give explanations for my opinion??? Bye, --Broc 11:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Negative, you are not required to give explanations, but I want to live up to your expectations and I only asked to know what was your reasoning so I could improve myself. Thanks for your reply. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 21:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ciao Broc,

il seguente materiale che hai caricato non è libero e quindi sarà cancellato:

Wikimedia Commons (questo sito web) ospita soltanto file multimediali che possono essere usati per qualsiasi scopo, incluso:

Vedi Commons:Licenze per la politica sul copyright di Wikimedia Commons. Altri progetti Wikimedia potrebbero avere politiche differenti; per esempio, la Wikipedia in lingua inglese consente il fair use di suoni e fotografie. Questo non è il caso di Wikimedia Commons: il materiale "in fair use" non è accettabile qui.

Per favore, assicurati di caricare solo materiale creato da te stesso, senza copyright o del quale possiedi le necessarie autorizzazioni che consentono di utilizzarlo per tutti gli scopi descritti precedentemente. Di nuovo, per favore leggi Commons:Licenze, che è davvero cruciale per capire come funziona Wikimedia Commons. Grazie per il tuo contributo e ti prego di lasciarmi un messaggio se hai ulteriori domande.

Hi Broc! You have uploaded the following pictures from http://pdphoto.org/ :

• Image:Penguins 5 bg 010101.jpg (CC-by-NC-SA)
• Image:Penguins 7 bg 010101.jpg (CC-by-NC-SA)
• Image:Penguins 9 bg 010101.jpg (CC-by-NC-SA)
• Image:Penguins 10 bg 010101.jpg (CC-by-NC-SA)
• Image:Penguins 11 bg 010101.jpg (CC-by-NC-SA)
• and maybe others to follow...

They are not PD as you claim. They are provided under CC-by-NC-SA which is incompatible with Commons, therefore I must delete them. As said on the main page, PDphoto.org is not really a repository of true public domain photos, despite the name. It contains pictures whose license is incompatible with Commons.

Please keep in mind that you must provide:

• a (helpful) description
• a valid and exact source URL (PD-photo.org is not sufficient)
• an author (Jon Sullivan I guess - PD-photo.org is just a repository)
• a license that matches the actual picture license (check it)

Could you please check your previous uploads of PDphoto.org pictures and 1. ask the deletion of those that don't conform to Commons policy; 2. complete the description of those that do?

Thanks. — Xavier, 13:39, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ok, thank you for the warning. I uploaded some images of PDphoto.org alot of time ago. Are they in PD or not? --Broc 14:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I did not check all the pictures you uploaded here. I only checked all the PDphoto pictures of penguins and all (but one) were not PD and, therefore, were speedy-deleted. As said above, it'd be kind of you to check if the other PDphoto pictures you uploaded are PD or not. thanks. — Xavier, 15:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ciao Broc! Non ricordo se ci siamo già incontrati, io lavoro su it.source.

Stiamo rastrellando il ns Indice per convertire i file "a pagina singola" in jpg in file "multipagina" (pdf o, molto meglio, djvu) e l'ultimo Indice da sistemare è quello che deriva dalle immagini raccolte qui in Category:Nuova edizione aumentata e riveduta dell'unico metodo accelerato razionale per imparare a parlare, leggere e scrivere la lingua tedesca. Il problema è che sembra che manchino alcune pagine finali. Puoi dare un'occhiata? Se mancano davvero, ce la faresti a completare il caricamento, e poi ci penso io a risistemare il tutto? Grazie! --Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 12:41, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

A una seconda occhiata, potrebbe anche essere che il libretto finisca veramente a pag. 34,e che ci fosse semplicemente un errore nel file Indice su Source, che puntava a inesistenti pagine 35-40 (l'ho corretto). In questo caso siamo a posto! Fammi sapere! --Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 12:48, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I am now proud owner of a TUSC account!

Hi Broc !

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller ! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use you help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part. There is a short video tutorial which addresses some things you may not know about.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 14:36, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I removed the problem-tag. If you still think it is either out of scope or not ineligible for copyright, start a regular DR. Before doing this, go to User_talk:Estudiaa and look at my DRs. -- RE rillke questions? 14:05, 10 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on this image and re-tagged it at {{PD-text}} and {{Trademark}}. Given that this image is composed entirely of text, it is not eligible for copyright protections and thus is acceptable on Commons. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

i have voted for more than one image. How do i undo it? Gobade.abhay1 (talk) 21:32, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the warning, I completely ignored the notice on the page. I'm taking some votes out now.--GDuwenTell me! 22:18, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

I've removed vote from one of the images. There doesn't seem to be any button or quick way of canceling the votes. --HPNadig (talk) 04:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thank you for your reminder. I forgot this one [1] (and I cancelled others yesterday), it's OK now :). .Anja. (talk) 10:16, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Could you please actually check that somebody votes twice and not just assume so by looking at their contribution log? You know, it is just one more click to see the difference between two versins and then you see if somebody really voted twice (or more). Does this look like I took a second vote to you? Sorry, but saving yourself the one second it requires to actually confirm that another user made a mistake causes just my (and probably other users too) anger at being accused falsely. -- Cecil (talk) 15:24, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thank you for helping rename files. I noted [2]. Please add a new filename to the suggestion, and a reason for the rename. This can be done by adding {{rename|File name|reason}}. Thank you. Kind regards, Taketa (talk) 08:44, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, images like this don't need to be nominated for speedy deletion, because {{PD-textlogo}} applies. Jcb (talk) 22:30, 4 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
