File:INA colony Satellite view.jpg

File:INA colony Satellite view.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion 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, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

---

Hi Matrix, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

---

An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...

Matrix, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard and its subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons ^webchat on irc.libera.chat. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin ^webchat.

You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.

Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.

Thanks :) Good luck with your RFA as well! —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - contributions} 16:56, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Congratulations @Matrix and welcome to the team! ─ Aafī (talk) 17:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Congrats. User:Jameslwoodward/Commons notes for administrators is another helpful resource in addition to the one that Krd linked. Abzeronow (talk) 17:51, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Revert request.

I request a revert to all of my categorisation edits. Platnieuem (talk) 06:31, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Looking at your edit history at Category:Buildings, I'm assuming you've already done this yourself. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - contributions} 15:51, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Discussion prematurely closed

Where can I comment on Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Mosbatho_(remove_file_rename_right) ? You added a notice "Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page." where is that?

I don't think "The file move suggested by User:Mpns was warranted with respect to the given criteria." is an acknowledgement of error. Besides, the user hasn't indicated how we would avoid similar issues going forward. Enhancing999 (talk) 18:21, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

@Enhancing999: Hello, looking at the village pump discussion, I think that consensus has largely emerged that whilst the rename was not Criterion 3: Obvious Error, we should not reverse it (though I can't read German so take that with a pinch of salt). Regardless, I don't see what the point revoking file mover status is. This is not a user conduct dispute, and it is not like this is a chronic behavioral problem. Mosbatho has performed many other appropriate moves, and this was a bit of an edge case to be honest. They can take this as a sign not to perform this kind of type of move again. They have said Due to the discussion I now follow the opinion that the initial file name would be better and I now support the old name instead of the recent one at [1]. You would be better off discussing at village pump and coming to some sort of consensus. If they keep doing this type of move despite warnings, that's when we should escalate to COM:ANU.

Regardless, if you still think that this is a chronic/long-term behavorial problem that must be resolved, you can post a new thread at COM:ANU. I will not close if you do so it since I am now an involved admin. Cheers, —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - contributions} 18:48, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

You might have misread the German discussion as I don't think he apologized for the rename there nor for his lack of addressing the question initially or his subsequent comments (you noted this in your closure, can you show me a diff?). You probably noticed that he hasn't fixed anything either.

I was told to make the rights removal request on ANU, but if this should be done somewhere else, I can to. Apparently it's not Commons:Requests for rights either. Maybe it's better to reopen the ANU thread and leave it to someone who reads the German discussion. Enhancing999 (talk) 18:56, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

@Enhancing999: Fair enough. Due to my lack of German knowledge, I'll let another admin decide and I'll re-open at ANU shortly, but I still think that this doesn't necessitate the removal of file mover rights. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - contributions} 20:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Gadget-UserMessages

I noticed you closed Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Dont remove warnings, depreciated {{Dont remove warnings}}, and removed it from Commons:Message templates/templates. However, you've left it enabled in the User Messages gadget that can be turned on at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets. Was this just an oversight, or a deliberate choice? The gadget script is at MediaWiki:Gadget-UserMessages.js which loads MediaWiki:AxUserMsg.js. On the assumption that this was just an oversight, I've removed {{Dont remove warnings}} from the gadget in Special:Diff/860899266. Please feel free to revert me if that was not in line with your intentions. —RP88 (talk) 11:29, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

This was just an oversight by my end, thanks for completing the job! —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - contributions} 14:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Stop Already

Matrix, Please stop deleting my logos, please go created you own logo for once!!!!!! 😡😡😡 Nekegatewood05.ex (talk) 17:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

@Nekegatewood05.ex: Please read COM:DW and COM:SCOPE. If you feel like the logo should be undeleted, open an undeletion request instead of nominating my userpage for deletion. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 17:49, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Noting

Quick note. This file has a user trying to impose their PoV. I have left them a short message.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:52, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

I think it's in good faith, the DR said use {{Duplicate}} and they may not have realised that it's only for exact/scaled down duplicates. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 10:27, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

File:Ontario Northland logo (old).svg

As it is possible to have multiple "old" logos at some point, the name is ambiguous. It would be preferred to use more precise descriptor, eg year or year range in such cases. IMO, User:ZI Jony was right while declining the rename. Ankry (talk) 23:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

@Ankry: I agree this is true, but I don't know when this logo was made. I tried to look for the information, but I failed. Consider this a placeholder name until I or someone else can find the correct dates. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 16:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
