⚠

Thanks for uploading File:RK Metković logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:42, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

CSD-tagging old drafts

Hi there, I see you're CSD tagging a lot of drafts, some several months old, as test pages. There's really no need to do this - when a draft has been untouched in draft space for 6 months, it will be deleted via WP:G13. -- asilvering (talk) 03:31, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I also don't see much point in tagging for speedy deletion userpages for users who created their userpage then never edited again. User:A certified hood classic - one edit more that a year ago; User:Barret Arrt - created their usepage in May 2023 and never edited again. Sure, some of them, like User:David Hustle Banks, look very WP:U5-able, but they've just created a userpage and then never edited again. Is there a particular reason you are tagging them? There may well be good reasons, but I can't see why. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:55, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
I do see where you're coming from but does it even matter if the user's only edit is to create their user page? A page can still be a U5 violation regardless of when it was created. Spam has been a problem within Wikimedia and small actions of deleting such pages plays a part in keeping spam within Wikimedia at a minimum. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 12:46, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
They don't get indexed by search engines, so they just sit there doing nothing. It's not really important to go after them. Every time you make a CSD you're urgently calling an admin out to take some kind of action. Once we're already there, we might as well delete the thing, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a waste of everyone's time in the first place. -- asilvering (talk) 15:18, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

MLB Postseason SVG images

Hi Minorax,

Thank you so much for fixing the MLB SVG logos I've been uploading. I wanted to ask if there's any tool I can use to check for errors? I've been using https://svgcheck.toolforge.org/index.php and it didn't show any errors there, so I was confused to see the error message after uploading it onto Wiki. Troutfarm27 (Talk) 19:16, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

I'm using this tool which JJMC89 bot is adding to SVGs to check their validity. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 02:22, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Beat me to it

I just saw that you put a speedy deletion notice on User:M akshatha's sandbox page before I even finished typing out my message of warning to them. I guess I wasn't fast enough! I'm also more hesitant to use speedy deletion after a hit and miss experience earlier on.

For future reference, what should regular users (like me) do if they come across edits like that? Sirocco745 (talk) 05:15, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

This user seems to be a part of a editathon (see new creations of userpages at Special:NewPages) so their probably instructed to insert some basic info of themselves and the content they've added isn't U5-able enough. Generally, a U5-able page resolves around a certain entity and the user doesn't have any others constructive edits out of their userpage. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 05:20, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
Yeah, I picked up on those new user pages as well. Those don't really fit any of the speedy deletion criteria, which is annoying because they're clearly not constructive edits in nature, but there's no proper reason to delete them. WP:IAR does exist, but it doesn't feel right to invoke the "this is the only way" button for these pages. Sirocco745 (talk) 05:24, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
Seems they're all linking back to a university? Odd. Sirocco745 (talk) 05:36, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Minorax, just wanted to say thanks for adding the logo to the Varo Bank article! I noticed that the article doesn't seem to show up in Google searches, I assume it's something to do with new pages patrol...is that also something you could help with? Either way, I really appreciate your help with the logo! Cheers JWatVaro (talk) 03:53, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Good afternoon, Minorax. You've occasionally reviewed and approved JPGs or PNG files I have uploaded, showing fraternity crests, coats-of-arms, or logos. I've recently engaged in a discussion on the Media copyright question page about a specific member badge image I uploaded, which was contested by another admin on licensing grounds. Would you review this post, and weigh in if we are missing something? Our Project group aims to follow standard rules here, and we thought we had been, until this ad-hoc complaint. Are these complaints legitimate? Or are they in error? Thanks! Jax MN (talk) 19:51, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Redirect suppression and renaming files

Hi Minorax. While I was looking at some recently renamed files, I noticed that you generally rename files without leaving behind a redirect, including each of your 24 most recent moves. Per WP:PMRC, redirect suppression is permitted only for redirects that would have otherwise been eligible for speedy deletion. (Indeed, "a pattern of using the permission to suppress redirects that would not have been eligible for one of the criteria for speedy deletion" is a ground for revocation per WP:PMRR#3.) There used to be a boldly added redirect-suppression criterion PMRC#10 (old page version) "Moving little-used files when all uses have been manually changed to the new title (WP:CSD#G6)" from 2019 to 2022, but it was removed because there was substantial opposition to deleting/suppressing these redirects, so it didn't have the consensus necessary to be included in a criterion for speedy deletion.

With that in mind, could you tell me what criterion for speedy deletion (or equivalently redirect suppression), if any, each of the following suppressed move redirects (to pick a handful) would fall into?

(If your answer is that they wouldn't fall into any of the criteria, that's perfectly fine with me so long as you intend to limit your redirect suppression to those criteria in the future.) SilverLocust 💬 08:26, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Except for File 3, I do not have any strong standing on suppressing the redirects, and I apologise for that and will limit redirect suppressions in future. For FNC7 files, I believe that redirects should be suppressed as long as all incoming links are changed to the new title, if not there isn't a difference of moving the files to a less ambiguous title. However, it still doesn't necessarily comply with WP:FRN so I'll just leave redirects after moving in future. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 08:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
Great, thanks! For WP:FNC#7 WP:FNC#9 [edit: oops, for some reason I was thinking you had said WP:FNC#9.], redirect suppression is certainly permitted and helpful. There's a criterion for that at WP:PMRC#5/WP:R4. SilverLocust 💬 08:52, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Bank of Nanjing 1.svg

Hi,

I reverted your update for File:Bank of Nanjing 1.svg for now because the new logo seems squished. I tried it on several devices and the result is the same.

Can you please see if this can be fixed? Imcdc Contact 09:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

It's a cache issue with the wikimedia servers. Any objections if I upload it as a separate file to circumvent this issue? --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 09:34, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
How long will this issue last? Is it possible to solve it without uploading as a separate file? If not then go ahead and upload a new one separately. Imcdc Contact 09:41, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
It'll probably take about 1-2 days for this rendering issue to go away. As experienced with File:Foodpanda logo.svg & File:Delivery Hero food delivery logo.svg --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 09:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

It's just used for me to track which file's EXIF data doesn't match the uploader's username. Some are problematic so someone will have to go through them to see if they are really an "own work". If the usage of them on said page is impeding some deletion somewhere, just delete it. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 10:03, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
