Hello

Please stop deleting files I upload if you haven't asked for permission I Kadékk Gilang (talk) 05:32, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

lots of people copyright here too bro, sorry 🙏 I Kadékk Gilang (talk) 05:39, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

I don't need permission to report copyright violating files. Just because other files uploaded here are copyright violations doesn't mean you should violate it yourself. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:41, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

EVERYONE IS DOING COPYRIGHT AND YOU JUST FORBID ME? DO YOU HAVE A REVENGE WITH ME?!!! I Kadékk Gilang (talk) 05:49, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

If you see any other copyright violations please tag them so they can be deleted. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

GET A LIFE DON'T TAKE CARE OF OTHER PEOPLE'S AFFAIRS WE RESPECT DEMOCRACY I Kadékk Gilang (talk) 05:54, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Nooooo!

Don't delete I didn't include the source because I don't understand how to make it, which is why I only included the name of the uploader, the site that uploaded it. I also didn't know it caused copyright 🙏I Kadékk Gilang (talk) 20:32, 27 July 2024 (UTC) I promise not to change the copyright and will say it is no longer mine 🙏

File names

Hi there, would you be able to use more descriptive file names in the future? Images like

need to be renamed as they have ambiguous names. --Prosperosity (talk) 06:07, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 18:55, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

Wikidata infobox
