Krdbot not using nowiki in "content was"

Hi again. I addressed this issue of not using nowiki in "content was" at User talk:Krd/archive/2025#Template:VRTrestore, but it has recurred with Special:Diff/1089702356 and similar edits, populating Category:Malformed deletion requests (and in this case Category:Collections of Musée Cernuschi). Please fix your bot and what it has done, and then purge Commons:Deletion requests/Archive/2025/07/24.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:22, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

I have the feeling we change this back and forth. I have now made a comment in the code for the next occurence. Krd 18:54, 23 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. Deletion log entries are not interpreted as wikitext, but they are so interpreted when Krdbot puts them on pages, so they should be sanitized. What possible opposing viewpoint would there be?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:21, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Sadly I don't remember. We'll see if it arises again. Krd 07:59, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

Indeed. Johnj1995 (who thankfully fixed the problem I noticed) may notice recurrence first, though. I was pleased to see a result of your change in special:diff/1090869201.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:14, 25 September 2025 (UTC)

file:Ethnic_Map_of_Southern_Dobrudzha_in_1910_(at_Settlement_Level).jpg

Could you please undelete this map - or, alternatively, make it understandable why you deleted it in the first place? Maybe I have entered something incorrectly, could be, let's say. The map was created in 1915 (it was my mistake to write 1913) and should have been welllll into the public domain for decades now. The map can be found here (https://www.morskivestnik.com/mor_kolekcii/karti_i_locii/romanski.html) or here (https://www.portal-silistra.eu/news/8978) or here (https://www.kvorum-silistra.info/news/18246). But I have not downloaded it from there, I've had it for years, probably 10 in my private collection, most likely from a website that has since seized working. Thank you in advance. VMORO (talk)

You said Stoyan Romanski is the creator of the map, trhe license is CC-Zero, and permisison will be sent by e-mail. Did the latter happen? What is the actual copyright status of the file? --Krd 12:29, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Oh... I think I have messed up with the licence then. The map was created by Stoyan Romanski in 1915 (it says on the map, but I certainly don't expect you to read Bulgarian), so any copyright should have expired long ago. I think I must have clicked a wrong button, he cannot send an email, he's been dead for 70 years or so. I'm not a Wikimedia pro btw, I think that much is obvious... Should I reupload again with the correct data? VMORO (talk) 14:44, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Please update the file page now. I which year did Stoyan Romanski die? --Krd 14:49, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

The German Wikipedia lists the year of death as 1959 (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stojan_Romanski). Does this change anything? VMORO (talk) 11:14, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Btw, I see that (probably you) have added the required info and changed the copyright data. Is that so? VMORO (talk) 11:25, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Please add that information to the file page and please cgange the license tag accordingly. Krd 11:47, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Will try tonight! VMORO (talk) 13:35, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Is everything okay now? VMORO (talk) 21:34, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

I didn't realise earlier that 1959 isn't 70 years ago. I think th efile can be undeleted at 1 Jan 2030. Krd 04:51, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Fake permission

Hi

for Balen Shah, it was possible to produce a fake OTRS checking? Panam2014 (talk) 10:03, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I cannot follow, what is the intention of the question? Krd 10:19, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Yes. Krd 04:47, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Why did the ticket accepted on a first time? Panam2014 (talk) 18:48, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

What is the background of the question, what is this going to lead to, besides obvious answers? If you like to point out something specific, I don‘t get it. Krd 19:01, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Simply because I always believed that these ticket-based validations were infallible, so I wanted to know, for my own understanding, how there could be flaws. Panam2014 (talk) 00:44, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Obviously tickets are processed by humans, who can make mistakes, and are sent by humans, some of which try to lie and forge. I won't provide provide any details in public. --Krd 04:43, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello I do not understand why this file has been deleted. As the photo has been made by us and hence the rights do lie with us, I'm unsure what documentation is needed to undeleted the photo. The photo was uploaded by a former intern, however I do not know which button he clicked in regards to the license. Is there a way to check what license he chose and if necessary to correct it so that the photo can be reinstated? Thanks for your help! JBregenzer (talk) 12:40, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

File:Katharina und Moritz Nathan Oppenheim um 1914.png

Hallo Krd,

eigentlich sollte dort eine Freigabe mit {{User:Woelle ffm/license}} drinne gestanden haben. Diesen darf ich so benutzen. Gebaut hat mit diese User:Reinhard Kraasch. Fehlt sonst doch etwas bei diesem Bild?

Dies auch de:Diskussion:Liste_der_Stolpersteine_in_Frankfurt_am_Main#Bilder Vielen Dank und Grüße Woelle ffm (talk) 05:59, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Hallo. Schau es dir bitte an. (Was hat das Bild mit Stolpersteinen zu tun?) --Krd 06:06, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Hallo, für die beiden ist der Stolperstein verlegt worden. Dies ist auch schon bei anderen Bildern gemacht worden.--Vielen Dank und Grüße Woelle ffm (talk) 06:11, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Klingt das denn für Dich richtig? Das Foto von 1914 ist nicht Dein eigenes Werk, es ist nicht 2026 entstanden, und nicht von der Initiative Stolpersteine aufgenommen. Wer ist der Urheber, wer ist der aktuelle Rechteinhaber, und wie ist der urheberechtliche Status an dem Foto? Krd 06:16, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Zudem sollte eine solche Lizenzvorlage restriktiv formuliert sein, und nicht im Benutzernamensraum stehen. @Reinhard Kraasch: . --Krd 06:20, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Das Bild ist in der Handausgabe und auch auf der Webseite der Initiative Stolpersteine Frankfurt am Main veröffentlicht, gefunden wurde es sicherlich im Archiv, wo die Geschichten der Familie gefunden worden sind.--Vielen Dank und Grüße Woelle ffm (talk) 07:10, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Das beantwortet leider nicht die Frage nach den Bildrechten, und die Angaben auf der Dateiseite sind offenbar alle falsch. Kannst Du das in Ordnung bringen und den urheberechtlcihen Status klären? Krd 07:15, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Hoffentlich alles richtig nachgetragen--Vielen Dank und Grüße Woelle ffm (talk) 09:17, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

Was ist denn nun die Situation, ist der urheberrechtliche Schutz abgelaufen, oder ist die Initiative Rechteinhaber? Es kann ja nicht beides sein? Krd 10:26, 6 May 2026 (UTC)

File:Wilhelm Hohenemser, Passfoto um 1951. (HHStAW).png

Hallo KRD,

bei diesem Bild zählt das Gleiche wie bei File:Katharina und Moritz Nathan Oppenheim um 1914.png. Dort eine Freigabe mit {{User:Woelle ffm/license}} drinne gestanden haben. Das Bild ist in der Handausgabe und auch auf der Webseite der Initiative Stolpersteine Frankfurt am Main veröffentlicht, gefunden wurde es sicherlich im Archiv, wo die Geschichten der Familie gefunden worden sind Vielen Dank und Grüße Woelle ffm (talk) 05:23, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Meiner Meinung nach geht das so nicht, wir brauchen dafür eine Freigabe. Und der Lizenzbaustein muss präzisiert werden, und darf nur dort verwendet werden, wo er wirklich zutrifft. Krd 06:20, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

File:Hendrik van Heest zegelwapen.png

Hatte Änderungen angebracht und kein Feedback bekommen. Kann mir jemand erklären wo ich hier Fehler gemacht habe?

Es war ein Derivative, aber der Halter des Wappens ist vor 300 Jahren gestorben, das selbe gilt für den Siegelsschleifer. Die Wappenschablone die ich in der 2ten Version des Wappens verwendet habe (dh leere Wappen) habe ich von einem Wikivorbild (wikiUser Arch Oldenburg Wappen, habe ich erwähnt) entnommen dh die Vorlage durfte auch verändert werden. Und die einzelnen Wappenelemente sind nicht von AI erfunden oder von anderen Künstlern geklaut worden sondern habe ich selber gezeichnet. Übrigens ist der Kesselhaken so spezifisch für diese Familie das er nicht irgendwo anders herkommen kann. Mit AI habe ich lediglich die Linien gerade gezogen, es hat mir nicht Design Vorschläge gegeben. Und ja, zur Herstellung dieses Wappens habe ich mir ein Foto angeschaut. Das Foto selber habe ich aber nicht verwendet weil wahrscheinlich darauf noch Copyrights gelten. Die Quelle dh wo dieses Siegel zu finden ist habe ich auch angegeben. Daraufhin habe ich selber eine Kopie gemacht aber nicht mit Scanner, Fotoapparat oder abpausen sondern mit der freien Hand. Das wäre so als würde ich ins Archiv gehen und das Siegel am Original abzeichnen. Oder wollt ihr mir jetzt erzählen, dass der Fotograf nur weil er dieses Siegel fotografiert hat Rechte hat auf die Anordnung der Elemente in einem Wappen nur weil er sie festgelegt hat?

Finales Feedback / Löschung meiner Daten (Ticket #2026050910009677)

Hallo Krd, schade, dass wir hier nicht zusammengekommen sind. Da mir, wie bereits erwähnt, die Zeit davonrennt und Wikimedia durch den blockierten VRT-Status faktisch meinen Google-Scrape behindert, bleibt mir keine andere Wahl, als das System Wikimedia komplett zu verlassen. Ich habe den Widerruf meiner Erlaubnis und den Löschantrag für alle meine Dateien und meinen Account bereits auf meiner Talkpage und im Ticket hinterlassen. Google wird sich die verifizierten Daten nun wieder von den über 300 Plattformen ziehen, auf denen ich seit 13 Jahren präsent und bestätigt bin – ohne den bürokratischen Flaschenhals einer „Poweruserhölle“. In der Konsequenz werde ich auch meine Spenden an Wikimedia einstellen. Ein System, das professionelle Content-Lieferanten und verifizierte Urheber derart blockiert, kann ich nicht weiter unterstützen. Ich wünsche dir dennoch persönlich einen schönen Tag. -- Mark Oliver Spengler (talk) 03:04, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

Restoration request - Radoslav Žečević

Hello,

I am writing regarding previously deleted files related to the Serbian artist and production designer Radoslav Zečević.

The permission has now been processed and approved through the Wikimedia VRT system under ticket #2026040710017913.

Could the deleted files please be restored instead of re-uploaded?

These files were part of the same permission request. Example deleted file:

Restoration request: Brian-Kakuk.jpg

Hello,

I am following up on a file that was deleted. I have read COM:L and COM:VRT, and the photographer provided a release email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org on which I was CC'd. I would be happy to re-forward those emails or provide screenshots to an appropriate email address. It appears that the emails were never processed by VRT, resulting in the file being deleted.
