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) 20:48, 19 January 2025 (UTC)
Seattle City Light/Municipal Archives
This is tricky, and I think you've waded in without fully understanding. For example, you made this edit. That falls back to giving "Seattle City Light" as author from SDC, but (1) of course, the actual author is an unidentified City Light employee and (2) if you go to https://archives.seattle.gov/digital-collections/index.php/Detail/objects/192049, the ultimate published source of this file, you will see that the requested attribution is to the Municipal Archives, not to City Light. This appears to be how the City of Seattle (legal owner of these copyrights: remember that both City Light and the Municipal Archives are simply departments of that unitary entity) prefers to have them attributed.
No objection to compromising on something like "Seattle City Light via Seattle Municipal Archives" or some such, but you effectively removed the attribution requested by the entity that granted the license. There may be a way to improve these, but what you did is not it.
I edited this one file downstream of you, before I saw that you changed a lot of other files, so I want to work out something acceptable to both of us before moving further forward. - Jmabel ! talk 21:34, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Ope. Looks like I missed some context there.
- The whole archives-to-Flickr-to-Commons workflow is so far from optimal, and and all of the useful metadata that the archives generate gets lost in that game of telephone. I had thought that the source field as "Seattle Municipal Archives" would be enough attribution for this case, although I can't say that I know much about the Seattle Municipal Archives, because I'm half a continent away.
- The approach that you took on the one file mentioned sounds like it'll work fine. Here's to hoping that we get an elegant way of handling this in SDC in the future.

- Thanks I'll try to find where else you did this.
- Yeah, it was confusing to me at first, too, but I've now uploaded several thousand of their images, given them back corrections of their descriptions on a few dozen, etc., so it's a pretty strong working relationship. They even contacted me in advance when they were changing their URL scheme to work out how we could avoid ending up with a ton of unresolveable dead links on Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 00:41, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- I just did this to try to make the situation clearer. Let me know if you think that should be worded differently, I may be "too close to the subject." - Jmabel ! talk 00:55, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Category:R. H. Thomson Expressway
While the parent categories you've added to Category:R. H. Thomson Expressway are largely accurate for the four files we happen to have, several of these really are not accurate for the proposed expressway as such. Three of the four images we have are of the ghost ramps off of SR520, and the other is a proposal for the interchange with SR520, so those all end up with Category:Washington State Route 520, Category:Union Bay (Seattle), and Category:Washington Park Arboretum being accurate to those images, but they really should not be parents to this category. The proposal was a freeway that would run (at least) from SR520 to the Rainier Valley. - Jmabel ! talk 06:59, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
