This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. You can report vandalism, problematic users, or anything else that needs an administrator's intervention. Do not report child pornography or other potentially illegal content here; e-mail legal-reports@wikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergency@wikimedia.org.

Delete conversation

Someone reached out to me to request that I remove the geolocation of a photo; but then they posted on my talk page using their IP address. Could we delete the entire conversation in the interest of their privacy? And perhaps a more permanent delete of the geodata is also possible. Thanks, mr.choppers (talk)-en- 15:16, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do this. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 16:23, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Supress file description of Flickr import File:Mamang Sorbetero.jpg

File:Mamang Sorbetero.jpg may be an appropriately-licensed Flickr import, but its description isn't. It is a verbatim copy of lyrics of famous Filipino song Mamang Sorbetero by Celeste Legaspi, from 1979 (see w:en:Celeste Legaspi#Singles). The song and its lyrics are certainly copyrighted; the file description must be suppressed. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:43, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JWilz12345 ✓ Done Feel free to update the description. Regards, Aafi (talk) 03:51, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done updating. Best to add reference to this request for the purpose of awareness of Filipino users and Wikimedians. Will update the link to this discussion if this is archived. Perhaps this request can now be requested for archival. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 04:01, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345: I have added a permalink to this in the most recent edit summary. A mention in the file description is not necessary. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:10, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Failed upload during "due to database lag..." locked up filename, system thinks file is in place and prohibits reupload. Please restore or kill without trace. Retired electrician (talk) 22:17, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Retired electrician: image looks OK to me, probably just a caching issue (you might try accessing it with a different browser if it's still not working for you). I've added a blank {{Information}} template, feel free to fill it out. - Jmabel ! talk 02:39, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
