William James (bishop) and the image File:The counties of England, their story and antiquities (1912) (14578208158).jpg

Hello Jeff, long time no wikisee I was wondering if you would know whom to reach out for to found out how to make an image of both the portrait and the description of the signature under the portrait from William James, Bishop of Durham, 1606-1617. Thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 11:28, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

@Lotje: Hi, again. I suggest that you post a new section at the bottom of Commons:Graphic Lab/Photography workshop. If you can read or otherwise determine the signature or the identity of the painter, that can inform your request.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:03, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done Thank you so much for your help Jeff. Hope I explained it correctly. Cheers. Lotje (talk) 16:18, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

@Lotje: You're welcome. Please see Special:Diff/1123443227/1123447681. Was it really attributed to the subject?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:30, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Oh, I see, it is not because the signature is under the portrait, it means he was the (original) author. I still have a a lot to learn Thanks Jeff Lotje (talk) 17:06, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

• Just nominated it for deletion. A different book credits this to Wilfrid Leighton, who died in 1967. -Nard (Hablemonos) (Let's talk) 17:03, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

  @Nard the Bard: just coming back to this item. Would it make sense to have images of the pages starting with List of Illustrations to make life easier for the reader(s)? Thank you so so much for your thoughts. Lotje (talk) 04:53, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Wrong dates

Hello Jeff, wondering what should be done with files lik these The date is incorrect, that is for sure) and the file should be renamed because of #2, but wat about the date? Date: 18 May 2009, 11:41 instead of Roma, Italia. Abril 18 de 2012. Thank you for thoughts. Lotje (talk) 12:52, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

@Lotje: I was thinking of the name File:Stefano Stefani and Héctor Timerman, 18 April 2012 (6944222862).jpg with {{Incorrect Exif date}} for this one. Please use {{Rename}} as the new first line of each file description page, or use our RenameLink gadget, to request a rename.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:01, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

 Done, thanks Jeff Lotje (talk) 14:34, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Abuse filer query

Hi Jeff - could you cast an eye here when you have a minute. I never was an expert of filters and I'm certainly not now. Of course it may simply be that this is a new incarnation... Thanks and best Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:23, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

@Herbythyme: Since I am not allowed to see the content of possible LTA abuse filters 257 and 257a (or the attempted edits), and they are not differentiated by username, I regret that I have to defer to Эlcobbola and our learned Stewards on this matter (rather than jump the gun and say it looks like a particular one that feigns innocence).   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 15:37, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

AI on FMC

New things calls for new guidelines and rules. Should AI-generated media be allowed on Featured media candidates? Share your thoughts and/or vote on Commons talk:Featured media candidates#AI-generated content. You are being asked since you vote on that project. Thank you, --Cart (talk) 17:21, 18 December 2025 (UTC)

• Has anyone suggested a separate CAT for both images that are nothing but AI and those that were enhanced with it? On a second note, Cart has been kind enough to help me over the years with my FP contributions, and it would seem I have been doing it wrong. Jeff my I get you to help me prep a pic I can do correctly so I have the entire format down. Here is the file I want to submit: United States Supreme Court Building Front Door photo Don Ramey Logan Is my next suggestion. This brings us to the AI question. As I took these over 10 years ago clearly no AI if I were to use an AI tool to correct them would that qualify as a AI photo or should it be promoted that it was enhanced. Setting that aside I created a FPtemplate page and have 2 photos I would like to consider to contribute. JeffG CAT suggested not long ago I get some help and this sir is my ask for help ;) --Don (talk) 07:02, 20 December 2025 (UTC)..

Second offering: Wat Pariwat inner temple --Don (talk) 07:03, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

• @Don: I defanged your display photos. We already have Category:AI-generated media. Those photos don't fit there, but they could use info about what you did with what tools to enhance them. I have in the past used {{Retouched}}, which has many redirects but currently sets no cats. Perhaps Category:Retouched media could get some traction.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 14:50, 20 December 2025 (UTC)

Answer

Sorry, forgot to use speedy instead of delete :) Thanks for your message, Karol739 (talk) 23:34, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

@Karol739: You're welcome. Please notify page creators of vandalistic pages and uploaders of vandalistic files (if they have not already been notified) with {{subst:speedynote}}.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:41, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Notifying them is pointless, the person behind the portion of vandalisms I've speedied today is among us on pl.wiki for at least a year (if he's Wikinger, eighteen years). And he still haven't learnt his lesson. Posting anything would've only enraged them, so it's a waste of time. Once again, thanks for everything, take care! Karol739 (talk) 23:51, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

@Karol739 In such a situation, the best alternative is a {{Noping}} report to COM:ANV or m:srg as appropriate, especially in the face of en:WP:BRD and en:WP:DFTT advice on enwiki; perhaps there is similar advice on plwiki.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:05, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

I know, thanks. Before speedying anything, I've notified one of the stewards. The whole group has also been pinged in Discord by another user. How fast are the requests in ANV handled here, in Commons? Karol739 (talk) 00:14, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

@Karol739: It can be quickly with sufficient evidence.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:54, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi....

@GPSLeo: I hate to ask you this on Commons & not Meta, but there's something I find concerning: the indefinitely blocked user HingWahStreet (hereafter "HWS") still has subpages (on Commons and elsewhere) that archive the userpage(s) of a different user that he helped to globally block, Shāntián Tàiláng (hereafter "ST").

Given that HWS was apparently a hypocrite for raising alarm about ST's behavior (along with the fact that several supporters of ST's global ban were neither native English speakers nor very familiar with ST himself or his exact behavior), I wonder if you can ask for ST's global ban to be either undone or re-reviewed? Because from what little I can figure out, it seems that ST did not simply harass users willy-nilly [as I believe most offenders do]. (And you may know of the "razor" phrase "Don't assume malice when you can safely assume stupidity". I've a feeling that people should have kept that in mind when analyzing ST's behavior.)

I do not condone anything that ST did, but I still think a global ban, especially one requested by a more recent sockpuppeteer, was not necessary for him. ~2025-38691-96 (talk) 06:51, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
