[edit]Hey can you tell me what you think about this user's five or six uploads: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Crazyforfeet
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles&user=Crazyforfeet&ilshowall=1
Taken individually they arent so bad. Taken as a group... at minimum the 13 year old girl description is problematic.
I'm inclided to nominate them for deletion as a group. Unlikely to be "own work" is the first rationale that comes to mind, but I don't know what is proper in this case. Any advice? Jerimee (talk) 21:38, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notice. (IMO foot fetishism by itself is neither here nor there - to each their own, as long as it's consensual.) Reverse image searches quickly showed the majority to be online elsewhere before uploader's claimed creation date, or in a couple of cases part of a series of same model shown to be copyvios. I promptly deleted those. I've listed the one remaining as a deletion request. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 23:31, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

NOMA Sculpture Garden
[edit]Hi Infrogmation! Hope all's well. First, just adding to the thank yous for all the amazing photos you've contributed over the years! Relatedly, I saw you've uploaded a range of photos from the New Orleans Museum of Art and its sculpture garden. Was wondering if you have any closer images of these benches and chairs by Scott Burton, installed in the sculpture garden (I think they've been moved around over the years). They're public domain as useful objects/simple furniture - I've been expanding the EN Wiki article on Burton and adding a bunch of images to Commons of his public furniture pieces. Lots of his works have been removed/altered/destroyed, so any documentation we can get while his works are still installed would be amazing.
Absolutely no worries if you don't have any photos - either way, thanks for your time, and happy new year! (is it too deep in January to say that? meh, it stays) 19h00s (talk) 01:10, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- I've tended to avoid uploading works by modern artists to avoid possible derivative work copyright problems. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 03:46, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hm, I wasn't aware of the stone benches being sculptures. They look rather geometric to me. I'll let others judge if incidental inclusion is problematic. Thanks. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 03:51, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
- Sorry I think my back-to-back messages here were confusing (totally my fault, didn't mean to do that!)
- My first comment above was about the benches and chairs in the sculpture garden - indeed, those are definitely not copyrightable. They are "sculptures" by Scott Burton, but they are useful objects and too simple for copyright.
- When I was searching for photos on Commons of the sculpture garden to find images of the benches/chairs and categorize them accordingly, I saw the photo that's linked below in a deletion request - the sculpture at issue in that photo is the sculpture in the water on a pedestal, not the chairs in the background.
- Again, I'm sorry about the confusion here - my fault, I nominated the file below without realizing it was your upload and would add a template here! 19h00s (talk) 03:53, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

- Thanks for the reply, no need to apologize - more informed eyes on subjects the better. I try to be aware of DW but I can't claim to never make mistakes. That wasn't one of my photos, I copied it here from Flickr, looked to me like a general view of reflecting pool, but you're right that the full res version does look to show a modern sculpture. I've replied on the deletion request suggesting the photo be cropped or the DW portion blurred. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 03:57, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Question regarding the addition of the discussion category template
[edit]Dear @Infrogmation, you added the template Category for discussion on Category:Archaeological Survey without saying why, even in the discussion space.
Can you specify the reason?
Despite this addition, your request will be reverted.
Thanks ArkéoTopia (talk) ArkéoTopia (talk) 13:41, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- The reason was stated on the discussion page linked, Commons:Categories for discussion/2026/02/Category:Archaeological Survey. I shall copy the text to the category talk page as well for convenience. Thanks for your attention. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 15:06, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

Human behavior has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you! |

Regarding the deletion of my posts
[edit]I am writing to you regarding the recent flags on my contributions (look at Files uploaded by Areylle at Commons:Deletion requests/2026/02/22). I understand that User:Dronebogus, has initiated a deletion request for my posts, saying that the content is fetish-oriented. As you are an administrator, I wish to address this matter directly via this talk page. I myself agree to the removal of the files in question if you see this as breaking the policy of Wikimedia Commons; this includes File:Dancer wearing unitard and pointe shoes.png, File:Dancer wearing unitard.png, and File:Crytek booth-babe from Games Territory 2008 (black suit edit).png.
My sole intent was to contribute to the repository, and I wanted to apologize for this. Also, I forgot to mention that these images are attributed to their respective copyright holders; I acknowledge that compliance with Wikimedia Commons policy is paramount. If you find these materials to be non-compliant, I fully support your authority to delete them from the record, and I will follow strictly to these standards in future contributions.
On my end, I am also curious, is a single administrator vote sufficient for removal, or does it require a collective vote? Also, does the uploader’s formal consent (which is me in question) expedite the decommissioning of a file? And thank you if you're reading this. Areylle (talk) 05:54, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Good day. See Commons:Deletion requests for an overview of the procedures. Any discussion about whether particular files should be deleted belongs in the listing for those files. While admins can speedy delete files for a limited number of specific reasons (for example clear blatant copyright violation), No, one admin favoring deletion of something for being out of project scope does not mean automatic deletion (it's an experienced user expressing their viewpoint, and sometimes admins disagree). As to your last question, yes, the uploader agreeing to deletion generally does expedite deletion. I'm glad to know your intent was to contribute in good faith, perhaps in the future you can find other ways of doing so that other users do not find objectionable. Thanks for asking. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 12:43, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for clearing my confusion. Also, I'd like to point out that some of these images are actually currently providing educational value, as they are already being used in Wikipedia articles, for example. ユニタード (unitard) in Japanese Wikipedia (this one clearly fits with the context of the article), and also this one, Pakaian lateks (latex clothing), in Malay Wikipedia, the main one I'm active in, this is also fitting with the subject of the article. According to the project scope, files that are in use on other Wikimedia projects are generally considered to have a clear educational purpose. So, I need your opinion on this one. Should this be deleted too, and I just use the other image already available in Wikimedia Commons? Areylle (talk) 13:43, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Again, the place to discuss is the deletion listing for relevant photo. Tip: That a file is in use is certainly a positive factor, but understand you might loose a point if the reason it's in an article is that you put it there yourself replacing a different image. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 18:18, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Ah I see, thanks for the advice and everything. Cheers. Areylle (talk) 18:32, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

Correct location for File:Český Krumlov Vltava 1993.jpg?
[edit]Hello, thank you for your photos from Český Krumlov I really love them, but while I was browsing through categories associated with Český Krumlov I've stumbled upon File:Český Krumlov Vltava 1993.jpg. It is unfortunately not from Český Krumlov and I cannot find the location of where it was taken. Do you remember where you roughly took the photo, so it can be recategorized? Thanks in advance, Comfyquiettree (talk) 21:41, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, thank you very much! Most of my photos were not labeled, and I seem to have made a mistake remembering this one decades later. Somewhere else from my 3 months in Central Europe in 1993. ... OK, I think I figured it out, Bern Switzerland, view from the Berner Munster to the Mattenschwelle, google view looks to confirm. I shall rename and recategorize the file. Thank you again! -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 23:58, 1 March 2026 (UTC)
Deletion requests/Files in Category:Declination (Cragg, Borås)
[edit]I noticed that you closed an deletion request about public artwork in Sweden. I'm unsure why they got deleted, as it is stated that we should not delete files just on the basis that there "isn't any FOP in Sweden". You can read it yourself at Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Sweden#Freedom_of_panorama. I ask you for an reason for this, otherwise I'd request them to be undeleted. // Kakan spelar (talk) 14:45, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message. I closed that listing as deleted, going by the discussion I saw in that listing Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Declination (Cragg, Borås). I have no expertise in FOP regulations of Sweden. If you think my action was mistaken, you can make your case at Commons:Undeletion requests. I have no objection. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:53, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
Hi, Please restore the files. I uploaded the original files after the AI-retouched versions, so you only need to check them. If needed, you can delete the first uploaded files, but please do not remove the updated ones. Reda Kerbouche (talk) 14:08, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
You'll need to request that (with explanation) at Commons:Undeletion requests, thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:11, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Ok, I will do that. However, could you explain why this photo was deleted without checking that the files come directly from the book itself? This means I now need to do additional work because of it. Reda Kerbouche (talk) 14:14, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Deletion of the Roma Street memo
[edit]I wanted to discuss your rationale for keeping Commons:Deletion requests/File:Letter to the Sub Inspector of Police Roma Street.pdf. What happened was one user made a claim that the 1921 police report was made public, and I asked for evidence of that, and that evidence was never provided.
My understanding is that police reports in Australia generally had circulation only within government agencies at that time, so there was no default distribution mechanism to get them to the general public. They were private to the authorities, essentially, unless released by them. From 17 U.S.C. § 101:
“Publication” is the distribution of copies or phonorecords of a work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending.
Do you have evidence that 1. this specific police report was distributed to the general public in 1921, 2. that police reports in this jurisdiction of Australia were by default released to the public, or 3. my understanding of pre-1978 publication criteria is incorrect?
If that evidence does not exist, I think we will need to start another discussion on this, as we still don't really have proof of a public-domain status until that's established. SnowyCinema (talk) 05:04, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- I was agreeing with RAN's assessment in this case. Additional detail, if you have familiarity with 20th century technology to recognize the type of purple printing on the paper, you'll see that this was not a unique single document but rather a copy run off with "ditto paper", one of the methods of printing small runs of texts for distribution prior to xerox machines. I fail to see any plausible reason why this would not be copyright expired per Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Australia. However feel free to get feedback from anyone with good familiarity of early 20th century media copyrights if you think that might be informative. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:19, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- Even if it is in the public domain in Australia, that doesn't mean anything for its US copyright. So, how do we know that the memo was distributed to the public, as required to be considered published in the US regardless of Australia's rules, and not just printed in large numbers for the purpose of internal distribution within institutions? SnowyCinema (talk) 04:56, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- If you think the issue was not resolved, yes, you can relist the file for further discussion. I suggest detailing your arguments as you've done here. I might comment on the listing with what I've brought up here, but I'll leave making a decision to some other admin. If you know someone on Commons well versed with early 20th century Australian copyright and how it interacts with US copyright, it might be helpful to ask for their input on discussion as well. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 09:53, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Deletion of a Soviet document
[edit]Hello Infrogmation! I hope you are doing well. Could you please take a look at my question here? Have a great day! Thank you. Regards, Oleg (talk) 17:48, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Good day. This was tagged as {{PD-ineligible}} which is used for things like simple shapes or short common text below the level of being able to be copyrighted. The document had a photograph, so that wouldn't apply. If there is some reason such as Soviet law that would put it in the public domain, I would have no objection to undeletion with proper license tag explaining the situation. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:53, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hello! Thanks for the prompt reply. I have just see nit now. Of course, if the template on this file, which was uploaded over 10 years ago was incorrect, let us fix it. :) AFAIK Soviet IDs might be ok to be used as public domain. ("Soviet ID documents and similar official paperwork from the USSR are generally considered to be in the public domain or not subject to copyright, particularly those published before the USSR joined the Universal Copyright Convention in 1973. However, specific graphic elements or designs may still be protected in Russia depending on the creator's death date.") This person has died in 1979 and the photo was taken well before it as he is not old on that photo, so it might be also before 1973. Thank you. Regards, Oleg (talk) 23:15, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Negatives
[edit]What is the purpose of keeping scans of the negative? All I find is it clutters the search results and makes finding actual images more difficult. Traumnovelle (talk) 01:57, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- The functions of Commons include being an archival repository of original media, and being where free licensed images used in Wikipedias are stored. This sometimes results in Commons having more than one version of an image. I don't see how this "makes finding actual images more difficult." However if original negatives which are the sources of used photos seem somehow confusing, perhaps some categorization arrangement similar to Category:TIFF images with categorized JPGs but for negatives might be useful. In any case, if there is an issue I don't think my talk page is the best place to address it. Such are my thoughts off hand. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 02:35, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- In this search query over 30 out of 100 images are duplicates [1] that does not aid searching and instead means one has to scroll further to find an image they may be looking for. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:21, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Should the category be "kept" or "deleted" ?

Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 21:23, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Not a valid reason to delete an image
[edit]In question, and I ask that you revert the deletion because there are other wikis that use the image, and one editor's comment is not a valid reason to delete the image. Your deletion was unwarranted.

- If you think any of my DR deletions were mistaken, you can list with explanation at Commons:Undeletion requests. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:40, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you, I will follow up at Commons requests, but before doing so, I would appreciate clarification on the deletion rationale. The stated reason, “Unused AI slop,” does not appear to correspond to a standard Commons deletion criterion on its own. My understanding is that images are not required to be in active use on Wikimedia projects in order to be retained, provided they meet scope and licensing requirements.
- Additionally, I am aware that the file has been used outside Wikimedia, which may still fall within Commons’ broader educational scope. If there are specific policy-based concerns (such as quality, scope, or AI-related restrictions), it would be helpful to have those clearly identified. I will proceed with an undeletion request to obtain broader community input. Atsme Talk 📧 22:08, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

- How is a school out of scope? It's educational -- and the reason to delete it don't make sense. Commons is open repository, and not just for Wikimedia projects. I'm not seeing any valid reason to delete that image. Atsme Talk 📧 18:07, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

- Is Dronebogus purposely targeting AI images, considering he's just tagged File:CeaseAndDesist copyright.png for deletion? Is there a policy against AI images on Commons that I've overlooked? If so, I apologize. These images are being used by Justapedia per Commons Policy:Terms_of_Use. I've been a volunteer on Commons and en.WP for 15 years, and have made substantial contributions which include sharing images and videos, some of which became Featured Pictures, were Picture of the Year Finalists, and Science finalists. I would very much appreciate a reason for these deletions beyond the opinion of Dronebogus. Atsme Talk 📧 08:55, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

Is the Pope Catholic? - Alexis Jazz ping plz 11:07, 30 April 2026 (UTC)- S'posed to be, but you might want to use a different catchphrase as [https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/world/2026/04/27/pope-leo-lgbtq-sexual-ethics/89817655007/ some questions] have been raised about that very topic. Atsme Talk 📧 14:40, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
- Atsme,
- Y'all are getting rather far afield from the question asked on my talk page which I already replied to. I suggest you find some more appropriate venue than my talk page for discussing other users, religion, etc. Thanks. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:46, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
- Apologies, Infrogmation -- thank you for keeping order on your page. These deletions were taking place during and after a tornado hit my home on Saturday, the 25th, so please any impulsiveness I may have exhibited. Atsme Talk 📧 13:24, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wehrmacht-Feldhase - 1917.jpg
It seemed quite obvious to me, but I failed to consider the possible impact of different image size limit preference settings on file description pages, smaller display/browser window sizes and different device types.
If you zoom in, it should become obvious that the Hase could be a 1917 drawing but the helmet, gas mask, gun and wrist band were photoshopped in. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 02:41, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
- You may be correct. I have no objection to relisting the file, preferably with a clearer explanation than "What the fuck?". Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 11:43, 30 April 2026 (UTC)
Every Ism Creates a Schism.png Should be Restored
[edit]I am very disappointed that you proceeded to delete the Wikimedia Commons file “Every Ism Creates a Schism.png”. The file was in use until it was removed by Dronebogus to subvert the In use policy. I made a clear argument for the usefulness of the file. Noone other than Droebogus requested deletion. This is a valuable image that well illustrates the essay it was commissioned for. Please restore the file. Thanks. Lbeaumont (talk) 13:14, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Thanks for adding categories to some of my recent uploads! Rjjiii (talk) 04:06, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the photos - I seldom get out of Greater New Orleans area, so it's always good to see improved coverage of other parts of Louisiana. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 13:42, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
I noticed you have deleted 5 out of 6 nominated files in the above deletion requests, in which I have voted 4 {{Vote delete}} and 2 {{Weak delete}}. I'd like to ask you why one file (File:Lafcadio in Japan Code & Four Elements in Mythology.jpg) kept. Thanks. Mzaki (talk) 06:14, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for alerting me to this. There was no decision to keep; rather file's deletion hadn't yet succeeded. It's now deleted. Explanation: Commons "Mass process" click for bulk deletions irregularly has some glitch that not all files are deleted. I usually double check, but missed that one. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 13:39, 1 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation. Also thanks for your effort. Mzaki (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
File renaming
[edit]Hello! I noticed that your latest file moves ([2], [3]) don't seem to fall under any criteria 1-6. I'm asking because in the first file the uploader requested to revert your move. Could you please explain why you moved these files? Deltaspace42 (talk) 12:03, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- There were requested moves, I was doing several of them when such move didn't seem unreasonable or overly frivolous. File names should generally be accurately descriptive, so sometimes I change the target name if the requested move doesn't seem to reflect that, or in a couple of cases contain what appear to be uninformative generated strings of numbers. That said, I have no strong opinions on what the names of those files should be. I believe in generally deferring to the name preference of the original photographer except in unusual cases like typos, misidentifications, or in some cases overly vague or misleading titles. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 12:52, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- To clarify, I've linked two file moves that were not requested by the uploader (or anyone else). Since you only removed the digits at the end of the file names, I don't believe this meets any valid criteria for renaming files. Deltaspace42 (talk) 12:59, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, I now realized that we likely moved the first file simultaneously. But what about the second file I linked? Deltaspace42 (talk) 13:01, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- (Looks at file history) For the second, it looks like a user who was not the original uploader for some reason requested a long existing file be moved to a new name with parenthetical random numbers added. You might wish to ask them why; I don't see any reason for it. Perhaps the file should be moved back to the 2013 descriptive title? The original Flickr upload title from 2008 was apparently " File:Nap08 805" which was not descriptive nor informative. Again, I have no strong opinion on what the best title should be, but tend to prefer accurate description, and parenthetical strings of random numbers are not usually helpful in describing the image. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 13:14, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation. I moved the File:Kina Yang as Belfast standing on right leg 20250927 142515.jpg back per the original uploader's request. Deltaspace42 (talk) 13:27, 11 May 2026 (UTC)
- PS, as I hadn't explicitly stated it: If you wish to move or revert moves of these files I won't object. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk)
