Neubenennung der Zürcher Wappen?

Der französische Begriff blason ist zweideutig: er kann sich auf die fachsprachliche Beschreibung eines Wappens beziehen, also die Blasonierung, oder auf eine visuelle Darstellung des Wappens. Der englische Begriff blazon stammt aus dem Französischen, hat aber diese Zweideutigkeit nicht mit übernommen: auf Englisch bezeichnet blazon immer nur die Blasonierung eines Wappens. Die visuelle Darstellung eines Wappens wird auf Englisch coat of arms genannt. Eine beträchtliche Anzahl der Schweizer Wappen auf Commons enthält jedoch das falsch verstandene englische Element blazon im Dateinamen, nicht zuletzt die öffentlichen Wappen des Kantons Zürich.

Gerhard Bräunlich hat nun den Bestand dieser Wappen und ihre Dateibeschreibungen überarbeitet, sowie um die von Hans Rüegg gesammelten Zürcher "Dorfwappen" erweitert. Kategorisiert sind sie jetzt in den folgenden drei Hauptkategorien:

• SVG coats of arms of municipalities of the canton of Zürich
• SVG coats of arms of former municipalities of the canton of Zürich
• SVG coats of arms of localities of the canton of Zürich

Möglicherweise wäre dies der Zeitpunkt, die Dateinamen dieser Wappen zu korrigieren und auf das internationalisierte CHE Name COA.svg Format umzuschreiben? Kein kleines Unterfangen, aber vielleicht der Mühe wert... ARK (talk) 10:24, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Sali @ARK.

Du kennst meine Meinung hierzu. Ich persönlich wäre sofort dafür. Einfacher würde es allerdings gehen wenn @Gerhard Bräunlich: damit einverstanden wäre. Somit könnte man die Wappen ganz einfach unter dem Kriterum 1 (Original uploaders request) verschieben. Lass uns mal seine Antwort hierzu abwarten. Viele Grüsse, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 13:16, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Besten Dank! זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 20:54, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

@Ziv: @Gerhard Bräunlich: Nun, ich habe mich ein wenig umgesehen zu dieser in den Jahren 2017 und 2018 beschlossenen Revision des Klotener Wappens mit den Adlerfängen. Es scheint sich bei dieser Zeichnung um eine Überarbeitung des Wappens von Kloten zu handeln, das die Antiquarische Gesellschaft in Zürich vor rund hundert Jahren als Teil ihrer damaligen Postkartenserie zu den Gemeindwappen des Kantons Zürich veröffentlicht hatte. Diese Vorlage zeigt den Löwen tatsächlich mit Adlerfängen, diese sind jedoch in der ebenfalls auf der Karte abgedruckten Blasonierung des Wappens nicht erwähnt. Ich begann deshalb meine Zweifel an der Legitimität dieser Wappenrevision zu hegen, zumal ja im Buch Die Gemeindewappen des Kantons Zürich (1977) die Herkunft des Wappens ohne jede Erwähnung von Adlerfängen dargestellt ist.

Im Zürcher Unterländer Nr. 167 aus dem Jahr 2017 erschien zudem ein Artikel, dessen Einstieg nahelegt, dass das Zürcher Staatsarchiv ebenfalls wenig von dieser Wappenrevision hielt: «Auf falschem Fuss zu laut gebrüllt: der Löwe im Klotener Wappen zeigt sich widerspenstig, ebenso die Klotener Behörden. Sie liessen offiziell verlauten, ihr Wappenlöwe müsse Krallen wie ein Greifvogel haben. Denn die bisherige Darstellung mit Pranken eines normalen Löwen sei eigentlich falsch. Doch nun meldet sich das Staatsarchiv zu Wort.»

So erkundigte ich mich bei Hans Rüegg und bat ihn um eine Einschätzung. In seiner Antwort verweist Rüegg darauf, dass das Klotener Hoheitszeichen in den Wappen sämmtlicher Hauptgemeinden des Kantons Zürich (ca. 1860) einen Löwen mit ganz gewöhnlichen Pranken zeigt. Rüegg hält das revidierte Wappen deshalb für fragwürdig. Andererseits: in der Schweiz gilt im Prinzip die Autonomie der Gemeinden in der Festlegung ihrer Wappen. Einige Kantone kennen eine Genehmigungspflicht durch eine kantonale Instanz, aber das ist, glaube ich, in Zürich nicht der Fall. Wenn der Gemeinderat und der Stadtrat Klotens tatsächlich eine Änderung beschlossen haben, dann ist dieser Beschluss wahrscheinlich nicht kassierbar, auch wenn die Gründe für diese Änderung noch so fragwürdig sind. Ich werde der Sache nachgehen... ARK (talk) 10:30, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

@Ziv: @Gerhard Bräunlich: Entschuldigt bitte, dass dies ein wenig dauert.

Im Vergleich zu den anderen Gemeindewappen des Kantons Zürich nimmt sich dieses neue Klotener Emblem ja etwas merkwürdig aus: es ist kein fachgerechtes heraldisches Wappen, weil es in einer gebrauchsgrafischen Manier stilisiert ist, die in heraldischer Betrachtung nicht nur als unkonventionell zu gelten hat, sondern einen flagranten Regelbruch darstellt. In fachgerechter heraldischer Stilisierung ist es nicht möglich, schattierte Partien einer Figur in fächigem Schwarz einzufärben: Schwarze Umrisslinien sind zur Konturierung einer Figur durchaus üblich und erwünscht, sind aber Partien einer Figur in flächigem Schwarz schattiert, so erscheint Schwarz als zusätzliche Farbe (Tinktur) im Wappenbild, das damit nicht mehr seiner Blasonierung entspricht: Das Klotener Wappen enthält gemäss seiner Blasonierung Rot und Weiss, nicht Rot, Weiss und Schwarz!

Ich halte es deshalb für angemessener, dieses Emblem nicht als Wappen sondern als Bildmarke im Corporate Design der Stadt Kloten zu behandeln, denn das Corporate Design ist nicht durch die Regeln der Heraldik gebunden.

Ich habe nun die frühere Fassung dieser Bildmarke sowie das diesen beiden Bildmarken zugrunde liegende ursprüngliche Wappen von Rudolf Münger auf Commons eingestellt und beabsichtige, dieses Bildmaterial zur Illustrierung eines kleinen Essays über das Klotener Wappen und dessen Adaptation in der Klotener Bildmarke zu verwenden.

Wie gesagt: ein wenig Geduld, bitte! ARK (talk) 20:11, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Sali @ARK

Äusserst interessant, was du alles herausgefunden hast. Ich selbst habe Geduld ohne Ende. Schönes Wochenende. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 20:27, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

@Ziv: @Gerhard Bräunlich: Ich habe mich entschieden, die Sache zunächst als Anfrage im Wikiprojekt Wappen vorzubringen. "Klotens Wappenwirren" sind dann noch etwas komplizierter, aber die Frage, welche Version des Wappens Wikipedia verwenden soll, lässt sich hoffentlich ohne Bezug auf das politische Drama beantworten.

@Ziv: @Gerhard Bräunlich: Nun gut, ich habe mich dazu hindurchgerungen, das Klotener Emblem als Bildmarke und als Fahne zu vektorisieren. ARK (talk) 19:38, 7 February 2026 (UTC)

Renamed files on brwiki

Hello,

I noticed that you make numerous changes on brwiki because files were renamed on Commons. I just wanted to check: are there any issues with CommonsDelinker? AFAIK it should be able to do this job. It does have the bot status and is not blocked. Or is there a particular reason not to use it? Huñvreüs (talk) 13:58, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Huñvreüs

Yes, Delinker isn't working properly at the moment and isn't doing its job. The list is quite long, see at User:CommonsDelinker/commands. Nevertheless, there's nothing wrong with manually replacing the filenames in the language versions by someone else. Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 14:08, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

OK, thanks. Huñvreüs (talk) 15:43, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Renaming Commons files

Hey Ziv!

I'm a patroller and contributor on frwikt. I saw you on our patrol tool and first and foremost thank you!

I originally came to ask why what you do isn't automated, but i read the question above this one and got my reply.

Considering you are doing this job manually, what page do you check for renames? Do you need help? I don't contribute on commons, so judging how tedious and annoying what you're doing can be is difficult for me. If you'd need help, I'd gladly help :D

Thanks again from a Swiss colleague :>, CKali (talk) 13:53, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey Swiss colleague @CKali

You're right, it's actually an automated process. For minor changes with less than 50 languages versions using the file, the script handles it under my name; for more, it writes a command for CommonsDelinker, which then does the job. Basically, it's not a problem if a filename isn't changed immediately, as long as the redirect created for it isn't deleted. I'm only doing it because I have some time right now and it allows me to make a few edits in different language versions.

If you want to help, sure you can. However, it takes some practice at the beginning, and here's the easiest way to do it:

Go to User:CommonsDelinker/commands. There you can see the old and new filenames in the list. As an example: Replace File:N2403s.jpg (LU,GU), klick on GU. You will now see a list of which language versions still use the old file name. Mark old file name with CTRL + F N2403s.jpg so that the old name appears in the tab below. Now click on the image or, ideally, open it in a new tab. Then select the new filename NGC2403 Galaxy from the Mount Lemmon SkyCenter Schulman Telescope courtesy Adam Block.jpg and copy it using CTRL + C. Now open the language version where you want to change the name, like the french one with Modifier le code. CTRL + F again and search with the cursor in the tab. Then CTRL + V, enter as resume → File has been renamed on Commons ([[:c:GR]]) (copy this, it contains a link, thus creating a backlink to Commons explaining why the filename was changed) and safe the page, thats all.

If it's too complicated for you, that's okay, just leave it, it's not that important. Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 15:05, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Copyright violation claims on multiple uploads for my account

Hi Ziv,

I see you've marked many of my images as potential copyright violations because they contain fb metadata. I was not aware that they contain that, but regardless, it is my original work. However, why have the images all been deleted immediately without allowing me to respond to the claims? I wanted to check the metadata on the images myself and see what was there before I could rectify. Deadly437 (talk) 11:19, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Deadly437

Facebook metadata usually indicates that the image was uploaded to Facebook or Instagram, downloaded from there, and then subsequently uploaded here. Therefore, you must be able to prove that these are your own works. Even better, always upload images in their original size, in high resolution, and with the original EXIF ​​data from your camera or smartphone. Of course, you have the right to request the restoration of the images; please do so on COM:UNDEL. However, they will also inform you there that you must prove you are the original author of the images and will likewise recommend that you upload the original images to Commons. Another option would be to include a link to your Facebook/Instagram in the image description and you add a note to the respective Facebook/Instagram posts stating that you are releasing the image under a free license {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} and that anyone can use it. Example text: I am the creator/author of this image and grant permission to everyone to use the image under the Creative Commons license [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en creativecommons.org 4.0]. If you are considering this option, then you should also post the links to Facebook/Instagram in the undeletion request, ideally with the note I suggested above. Furthermore, there is also the possibility that you prove via COM:VRT that you are the author of the images. I hope that helps, Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 11:50, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Renaming

Hello, you rejected some renaming requests done by me on various files on the basis that "other language versions refer to this as a seal", however the inverse is true as well: Spanish, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and many others do not. I do not understand this logic, but I am not familiar with how renaming works, so am I missing something here?

I also want to note that you rejected File:Chrisanthemum Seal (passport).svg despite there being a clear spelling error, which seems erroneous.

I believe that the renaming criteria that I put forward is still valid - the only reason I could see to decline would be #2, but this isn't true as it is not called a seal on most projects - so is it possible to review or appeal this decision, perhaps? NotADev (talk) 16:33, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello @NotADev

It is probably more sensible to start a discussion on the file's discussion page first, especially when making such changes, particularly if these filenames are older and have not been questioned before. Regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 16:39, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Benutzerantrag

Hi Ziv, würde gerne die Berechtigung zum Verschieben von Files beantragen. Kannst du mir bitte helfen. LG und einen schönen Karneval --Blatt und Blüte (talk) 14:19, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

Hallo @Blatt und Blüte

Im Moment sehe ich eher das Problem, dass du die meisten Verschiebungen unter dem Kriterium 4 vorschlägst. Im Grunde genommen ist das falsch, denn deine Vorschläge sind nicht dafür gedacht und nur schon aus diesem Grund könnte allenfalls dein Antrag auf Ablehnung stossen, da man annimmt, du hast die Regeln noch nicht ganz verstanden. Die Frage ist auch folgende, ob es denn nötig ist, bei einem Abzeichen, Emblem, Schulterblatt o.Ä. im Filenamen zu erwähnen, dass es analog Nato-Code ist, wenn das Emblem zu einer Zeit existierte, als es die Nato noch nicht einmal gab. Gehört dann ev. besser in die Filebeschreibung statt als Filenamen. Merke (Klammer) zu Kriterium 4: Just because images share a category does not mean that they are part of a set. There are two scenarios that this criterion is designed for. First, certain complex templates (such as those that use BSicons or that display football kits) assume that the images used in them will follow a specific naming convention. Wikisource also uses a specific naming convention for the source files they transcribe. Second, files that form parts of a whole (such as scans from the same book or large images that are divided into smaller portions due to Commons’ upload size restriction) should follow the same naming convention so that they appear together, in order, in categories and lists. Keines deiner Files die du umbenennen möchtest passt eigentlich unter dieses Kriterium. Filemovers nehmen die Vorschläge in der Regel aber an, wenn es eine Verbesserung des Filenamens darstellt. Du kannst dich selbstverständlich gerne für das Filemoven bewerben, bitte hier: COM:RFR. Begründe dabei warum du das Recht haben möchtest.

Removal of File:Ilha Marechal Deodoro.jpg‬

Hi, Ziv,

I have recently (and inadvertently) included in Wikimedia Commons a localization map taken from Google Maps. The image name was "Mapa do Rio Grande do Sul com a localização da ilha na Lagoa dos Patos" (Map of Rio Grande do Sul showing the island's location in Lagoa dos Patos). This image was included in the article pt:Ilha Marechal Deodoro of Wiki.pt. My first attempt was to generate a similar image using the resources of the Info/Island Infobox, but it didn't work as expected.

The Google Maps image was soon after (and properly) removed by you from Commons, for copyright violation. Since a localization map is important for the article, my idea now is to use and credit, instead, an image taken from OpenStreetMap, whose content, as stated on their website, is "Open data: you are free to use it for any purpose as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors". Before doint it, though, I would very much appreciate if you could confirm my understanding that this would be in accordance with the Commons criteria.

I thank you in advance for the support. Antonio Prates (talk) 05:41, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

@Gufciopufcio: It's actually quite simple. If a cited source has a copyright notice, we delete it unless permission for the upload can be proven otherwise. However, I see you also added the {{Permission pending}} template during the upload process. Does this mean you intended to send permission to the VRT team, or is it already on its way to us? If so, you don't need to do anything further.

Hi "Benutzer Ziv", könntest du mich bitte freischalten als "Dateiverschieber auf Wikimedia Commons". Vielen Dank im Voraus und frohe Ostern für Dich und Deine Familie --Blatt und Blüte (talk) 09:17, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Hallo @Blatt und Blüte: Ich kann niemanden einfach so als Dateiverschieber freischalten. Bitte richte deinen Antrag deshalb hierhin COM:RFR unter dem Abschnitt "Filemover". Andere Filemover oder Administratoren möchten zuerst gerne prüfen, ob man dir dieses Recht geben kann. Dir ebenfalls frohe Ostern.

File:Kloster Germerode von SW Ludwig Bickell vor 1900.jpg

Hi Ziv, you are going to delete "Exact or scaled-down duplicate" photographs by Ludwig Bickell like this. But this causes the loss of meta data as the description of the files are different! The reason for those duplicates is that photographs of Ludwig Bickell has been added over years by several user like me. Last autumn, the Bildarchiv Foto Marburg, which hosts the Bickell images, donated all of its photos to Wikimedia Commons. According to the agreement, only images NOT already on Commons were to be donated. However, with almost 3,000 images some duplicates did occur. The individually uploaded images generally have more detailed and accurate descriptions than the automatically generated database uploads.

Probably you have a tool to identify those duplicates in the c:cat:Photographs from Bildindex der Kunst und Architektur by Ludwig Bickell. If you could give me a list of them I could merge the descriptions and meta data before deleting. Best regards HeinrichStuerzl (talk) 22:11, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Kannst du weitere Duplikate in der o.g. Cat erkennen bzw. gibt es ein Tool dafür? Beste Grüße HeinrichStuerzl (talk) 14:37, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

@HeinrichStuerzl: Also @OptimusPrimeBot: erkennt Duplikate, aber auch nur wenn es exakte Duplikate sind, sprich gleiche Grösse des Bildes und Exifdaten identisch. Bei allem anderen müssen die Nutzer schon selbst aktiv werden bzw. ich selbst mache es auf diese Weise da ich gerade die Category:Files by Robert Linsdell aufräume. Ob es da ein Tool gibt weiss ich allerdings nicht. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 15:06, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2025 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the twentieth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just five images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 18 April 2026, 23:59:59 UTC.

Renaming files

I had requested to renaming the File:Jkr-ftA1.png and several files from File:Jkr-ftA--.png to this name format: File:Jkr-a--.png. Because the file can be use in the English Wikipedia Template:JKR(A), which mostly used for Perak State Route. In case you all missed it, if refer to the latest Malaysian Public Works Department Statistic Book, no any Federal Route started with alphabet.

Which criteria can I use for renaming? DiaoBaoHuaJian (talk) 02:22, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello @DiaoBaoHuaJian:

Please read COM:FNC. Which criterion do you think is appropriate there?

• Criterium 1: (Original uploaders request): , because you are not.
• Criterium 2: (To change from a meaningless or ambiguous name to a name that describes what the image particularly displays.): , because the name is still meaningless and we do not move from meaningless to meaningless & COM:FRNOT #1 Files should NOT be renamed only because the new name looks a bit better.
• Criterium 3: (To correct obvious errors in filenames) , i see no error, only a bad filename.
• Criterium 4: (To harmonize the names of a set of images so that only one part of all names differs.) , because of Commons:File renaming#cite note-4.
• Criterium 5 & 6: , no violation of Commons’ policies and guidelines and there are no bugs such as duplicate file extensions or similar issues.

Your first request was open for eleven days Special:Diff/1196482327 and no file mover or administrator wanted to move it. This is usually a sign that the move is not in accordance with the renaming rules. I don't know anything about any templates in language versions; in any case, the Malaysian Wikipedia has also managed to integrate the images into its templates. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 03:17, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

MatchBoxLabels - was bin ich sehend

Moinsen Ziv. Ich hoffe dein Wochenende ist bisher sonnig, wie meines. Ich hatte auf ein 'MatchBoxLabel' letztens ein LA gestellt, weil wir in DE ja etwas ungenau über das Copyright von Postwertzeichen sind. Jetzt ist mir aufgefallen das der entsprechende User 2300(!) Dateien hochgeladen hat, die alle falsch lizensiert sind. Special:ListFiles/Matchboxposters

Kaum eines der Bilder ist {{PD-ineligible}}. Noch dazu ist der Quell-Link eine SEO-Aktion des Webseitenbetreibers Matchboxposters. Adtonko (talk) 18:41, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Hallo @Adtonko.

Mein Wochenende ist bisher tatsächlich sehr sonnig! Ich gehöre eh zu den Leuten, die den Frühling sehr mögen.

Doch Spass beiseite. Das ist eine ganz schöne Kollektion, wow! Ein paar davon wären wohl (ich habe das jetzt aber nur stichprobenartig geprüft) {{PD-anon-expired}}, sofern die Jahrgangsangaben stimmen. Wie dein oben erwähnter LA zeigt, stimmen sie wohl nicht und sind deshalb wenig verlässlich. Äusserst interessant auch die jeweilige Beschreibung "Scan from the MatchboxPosters vintage matchbox label collection" und die Collection entpuppt sich dann als Shopping-website. Ich gebe dir recht, auch ich halte das für SEO-Spam. In diesem Sinne Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#Uploads_by_User:Matchboxposters._SEO? erstellt, weitere Meinungen anderer Nutzer und Admins erwünscht.

About a deletion request

Good morning Ziv,
On the page Commons:Deletion requests/File:Loouis9.jpg you told me that my request was not legitimate.
I am working on illuminated manuscripts, and I see plenty of these bad resolution copies, some of them unused.
Most are by the way uncategorized, or without a manuscript's name. Although a good resolution one exists. Should we keep them anyway ?
I give you an example : this image has three copies :
File:Français 5594, fol. f.138 haut - Louis VII se croisant.jpg ; File:LouisVIIatVezelay.jpg ; File:LouisVIIpartencroisade.jpg.
Kind regards. Ivan Banderivets (talk) 07:02, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Ivan Banderivets:

These old files don't take up any storage space and were previously used in the language versions before a better version existed. Deleting them is therefore not recommended and also not needed. For File:Loouis9.jpg i think a good idea is tagg the file with {{Duplicate}}. This way, the filename is not destroyed if the file is used outside of Wikipedia projects. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 08:32, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Ziv, when I open the Duplicate module, it gets me to the speedy deletion process. I will use it then, because the image I ask for deletion meet the requirements below : F8. Files available as identical copies on Wikimedia Commons. For me it's useless to keep them. It puts confusion in the categories (for example in this case : Louis IX in miniature ; by the way it depicts Louis X, not IX, I will correct). In some cases exist 4 or 5 copies of the same image. Regards. Ivan Banderivets (talk) 11:06, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

Well, my bad. The correct page is Commons:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion. And the files I wanted to delete don't meet the requirements. I will then stop to ask for deletion for these files. Regards. Ivan Banderivets (talk) 11:13, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

@Ivan Banderivets: Well, I think you misunderstood something, and therefore I will remove your duplicate requests. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 15:40, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

@Ziv you basically told me to use the {{Duplicate}} template, then I used it. If it's better to use the {{Superseded}} template, then I will use it. Ivan Banderivets (talk) 20:53, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

@Ivan Banderivets: Yes, but that only works if the file is actually exactly the same, which wasn't the case for any of the tagged files. Just two examples:

• 
  There are differences here regarding...
• 
  ...the other one
• 
  same also here
• 

For the first, cropping is not the same, for the second, the smaller one has no background. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 12:23, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

Du verstehst mich komplett falsch! Bitte bemerke folgendes an diesem Projekt. Der grosse Teil der Filemover oder Administratoren hier ist nicht deutschsprachig und wenn doch, erwarte nicht, das so einer dieses Buch dann auch tatsächlich vorliegen hat, um deine Behauptungen vor einer Verschiebung überprüfen zu können. In diesem Sinne gammeln die dann tage/wochenlang rum, weil keiner damit recht was anfangen kann, zudem sind deine Vorschläge meist auch nicht wirklich gut, nur so nebenbei. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 23:11, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

danke für die Watschn Sukaq (talk) 06:47, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Guten Morgen lieber @Sukaq.

Das sollte eigentlich keine sein, aber das ist ein herrliches bayrisches Dialektwort und brachte mich jetzt zum Schmunzeln.

Also nochmals:

• Diese Dateien sind teilweise über 10 Jahre alt (oder noch älter) und der Quelllink nach denen sowas erstellt wurde funktioniert dann auch oft gar nicht mehr. Darum die Aufforderung es zuerst einmal mit https://web.archive.org/ zu versuchen, um festzustellen, warum das damals so hochgeladen wurde. Nützt das nichts wäre anschl. auch ein Bilderabgleich mit Google Lens sehr nützlich. Ich verschiebe also sicherlich eine Datei nicht nach File:Wappenentwurf Pfaffenhausen (Hammelburg).png, wenn ich auf der Gemeindewebsite das gleiche Wappen so anfinde. Ev. nicht exakt identisch, aber immerhin nicht komplett anders und man kann sich auch was da drunter vorstellen.
• Gemeinden arbeiten leider oftmals auch nicht immer nach einem Regelbuch, dies dann einem Hochlader zum Vorwurf zu machen wie z.B. in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wappen Violau.png von dir geschehen, der 2011 unter COM:GOODFAITH etwas hochlädt, um dem Projekt etwas beitragen zu können, finde ich dann allerdings auch nicht nett.
• Ein weiterer Punkt ist auch, das manche Creators die Wappen auch nach freien Stücken interpretieren, wie z.B. von dir richtig bemerkt bei File:Wappen Vaduz.svg mit der falschen Krone. Das Problem wurde dann 2021, resp. 2022 behoben, doch leider blieb ein kompletter Austausch der alten Datei in den Sprachversionen aus, warum auch immer. Statt jetzt deinem Namensvorschlag File:Wappen Vaduz mit falscher Krone.svg zu folgen (die Umbenennung macht die Datei deswegen nicht besser, so wie ihre Verwendung auch nicht richtiger), habe ich gleich dafür gesorgt das die falsche Datei in den Sprachversionen nicht mehr länger benutzt wird und sie durch die Version von ARK von 2022 ersetzt (File:LIE Vaduz COA HistLex.svg). Eine Umbenennung halte ich in diesem Falle auch nicht mehr für nötig und deswegen hier auch die Ablehnung des Antrags. Bei solchen Fällen kannst du mich sehr gerne jederzeit kontaktieren und ich sorge anschl. für den reibungslosen Austausch.
• Zu den Löschanträgen: Du fragtest welchen genau ich meine. Such dir einen aus, User_talk:Enslin ist voll davon. Anträge auf Wappen die noch nicht ersetzt wurden halte ich für falsch, der abarbeitende Admin entscheidet dann meist auf COM:INUSE. Aber auch dann wenn eine Datei tatsächlich ersetzt wurde braucht eine alte Datei nicht zwingend gelöscht zu werden, siehe dazu Commons talk:Superseded images policy. Bei Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wappen Holzingen.png entschied ich nun auf "Behalten", da Gliwi sie für die Erstellung des anderen Wappens verwendete und auch die Gemeindewebsite das so darstellt. Schlussendlich kommt es aber auch immer auf den Admin an, der den Löschantrag gerade abarbeitet.

Noch eine Anmerkung: Etwas mehr Freundlichkeit wie z.B. ein "Hallo" würde dir nicht schaden, aber das ist man sich ja mittlerweile gewohnt von den deutschsprachigen Wikipedianern, die nur rumpoltern, nur fordern, statt es selbst besser zu machen und gleich mit der Tür ins Haus fallen. Von daher kannst du vielleicht verstehen warum ich auf manche deine Antworten dann im gleicher "Tonlage" meinen Senf dazu abgebe. Ist jetzt aber nur meine persönliche Meinung und ich hoffe du verstehst das nicht falsch. In diesem Sinne einen schönen Tag und beste Grüsse, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 09:34, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Ichafu and cultural erasure

Hello good morning am new here I don't exactly know who to talk to but am having an issue. So with the permissions of my sister I uploaded an image I took of my sister to this platform wearing a traditional headdress of my ethnic group called ichafu to the platform. But a user by the name Dolpina nominated my picture for deletion (the picture file is File:An igbo woman in Ichafu headdress.jpg) with the reason for the nomination being that the head covering of my ethnic group (Igbo people of Nigeria) isn't ichafu and that it is instead gele. I was so confused because even if the headdress on my sisters head wasn't ichafu a wrongful term isn't the proper reasons for why a picture which I own should be deleted on the platform. I checked out this users contributions and from what I saw I can conclude from the users history that he or she is trying to delete any picture that mentions ichafu on the platform by nominating it all for deletion with the reason for the deletion being that it is all gele (which is a traditional headdress of the Yoruba people) since she is practically deleting any picture with she could find with the word ichafu by terming it gele am assuming she is Yoruba. You can also Google ichafu and gele you would see that they are headdresses in Nigeria with gele being a word to describe a scarf headdress in Nigeria by the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Ichafu being a word also used for a scarf headdress by the Igbo people of Nigeria. The user also seem to be deleting alot of pictures that are igbo related am not too sure for why he or she is trying delete those other none Igbo related pictures. Regardless am bringing this up to you and pleading for you to look into this thank you very much. Bonde maxx (talk) 18:05, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Bonde maxx.

I answered on the deletion discussion. Btw, do you have the file in higher resolution with full exif data? Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 18:15, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

ok do you want me to upload the full image I don't know much about exifs and resolutions because with transfers and handovers won't the image exif be altered. Anywho the picture was taken on an iphone 11 Pro Max and it was taken sometime in the begining of 2025 January 4th in Nigeria awka. It was cropped with iphone 14 pro max also I should say that since ichafu is what it is called in my culture I really do not understand the point of changing it to the name her culture uses. Doing that is a subtle cultural erasure. Bonde maxx (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Hey @Bonde maxx I support your appeal to keep this file and effort to save this cultural asset.

User:dophina has been flagging every images that has the word "ichafu" in it for deletion. She has be claiming that Ịchafú is gele. Wmbata (talk) 12:11, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Correction regarding my speedy deletion requests

Hello @Ziv. I have just submitted several speedy deletion requests for files that I uploaded. I apologise, as I made a mistake: I had actually intended to submit regular deletion requests rather than speedy deletion requests. Lilauid (talk) 00:37, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Lilauid.

No problem. I've now converted them all into regular deletion requests. Please provide a reason why the files need to be deleted. But have something in mind: Simply stating that a file has been replaced by another or is no longer up-to-date is not a sufficient reason for deletion. Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 00:53, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for the reminder, and I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience I have caused. I will provide the reason for deletion separately in each deletion request. Lilauid (talk) 01:08, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. You have one answer from me on one of the files, but you can add this question to all the others. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 01:16, 14 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Quick1984:

Currently, I keep getting a timeout error when I try to open files from mos.ru. Perhaps my IP address is simply being blocked.

Files to be deleted

Hello. I would like to ask for help in reviewing three files that were nominated for deletion by another user as possible derivative works. I do not question the good faith of that user, and I understand why a concern about derivative work may have arisen. However, in my view, the situation is not obvious and requires a separate assessment for each file. I am the author of the photographs and uploaded them as documentary images of objects/a sign that have encyclopedic value.

Regarding the file with the commemorative tray (File:Commemorative tray of the Second Congress of the World Congress of Tatars.jpg), I would like to ask whether it really should be considered a non-free derivative work. This is not a reproduction of a separate poster, painting, or independent illustration, but a photograph of a physical commemorative object connected with the Second World Congress of Tatars. The image on the tray consists of documentary and recognizable elements: architectural objects of Kazan, a monument, inscriptions, and general souvenir-style design. In my view, before deletion it is important to determine which specific element is considered an independent copyrighted work, who its author is, whether the copyright is still valid, and whether that element is the main reason for deletion. Without such clarification, the file does not seem to be an obvious violation. I ask you to consider the possibility of keeping the file rather than deleting it as an unambiguous derivative work.

Regarding the file with the commemorative medal (File:Commemorative medal of the Second Congress of the World Congress of Tatars 01.jpg), I would also like to ask for a separate assessment. The photograph shows a commemorative object dedicated to the 1997 event — the Second World Congress of Tatars in Kazan. The main elements of the medal are informational, symbolic, and commemorative in nature: the date, place, inscriptions, heraldic/emblematic elements, a ribbon, a geometric grid, and a simple composition. If the issue concerns official symbols, I ask you to take into account that such elements are not always treated as ordinary copyrighted works. If the problem is specifically the overall design of the medal, I would like to ask whether this design reaches a sufficient level of originality to be considered an independent copyrighted work. In my view, the file is valuable as a documentary image of a commemorative medal, not as an attempt to reproduce someone else’s artistic work. Therefore, I ask that the case not be treated as obvious, and that you help determine whether there are real grounds for deletion.

Regarding the file with the mosque sign (File:Mosque, village of Nizhny Begenyash 05.jpg), I especially ask you to consider the possibility of keeping it. This is a photograph of a publicly displayed informational sign, not a reproduction of an independent artistic work. The main content of the sign is factual text with the name of the mosque and district, as well as images of the mosque building itself. If the issue concerns the building, freedom of panorama applies in Russia to architectural objects located in a public place or visible from a public place. If the issue concerns the sign itself, its design appears to be ordinary informational design: plain text, images of the building, and standard decorative elements in the corners. In my view, such a sign does not have a clearly expressed independent artistic originality, and its purpose is primarily informational. Therefore, I ask you to consider the file as an acceptable documentary photograph of a public sign and mosque building, rather than as a non-free derivative work.

I don't understand the deletion of this photo at all (File:Golovkin, Danil Nikolaevich 01.jpg). I'm the author here, and I see no reason at all to delete it. This photo is not a derivative work. Mizgel (talk) 06:32, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Mizgel.

• For the first two, this looks like "Fair use content", because of COM:TOO Russia.
• For the file with the Mosque sign. The way it's attached is a little strange and suggests that this sign isn't permanently affixed, which is absolutely necessary according to COM:FOP Russia.
• I don't know exactly why @Romano1981: thinks this is a derivative work, but one thing I personally notice about many of your uploads that you claim to be your own work. Many of these are simply low-resolution files with completely missing EXIF ​​data. This isn't exactly recommended, and I suggest you only upload high-resolution files that also have valid EXIF ​​data.

Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 12:36, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi Ziv, you're quite right. The photo was uploaded at an incredibly low resolution for 2025, lacks an EXIF, and appears to be a downscaled version of a professional studio photo taken using specialized lighting. Since the user's other uploads contain nothing similar that would suggest they possess professional photography skills, I asked the manager of the person depicted by e-mail about the author of this artwork. I'm still awaiting a response. Romano1981 (talk) 13:29, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Further, I believe the user is being pretty disingenuous when claiming copyright on some other files they uploaded. For example, look at File:Софронов, Семен Александрович.webp: no camera generates webp format when creating photos; it is specifically designed for posting on websites to save bandwidth. The user apparently got this photo from one of such websites. Romano1981 (talk) 14:02, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

@Romano1981: Thank you for mentioning the file with the webp extension. I don't want to accuse the uploader of anything, but the presence of other files in different formats also suggests that they were likely found somewhere on the internet and are not the uploader's own work. Many websites compress photos and remove EXIF ​​data entirely to save storage space on their servers. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 16:16, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

I received a response from Danil Golovkin's manager, Karina Chistyakova. Here it is: This is a self-portrait of Danil Golovkin (he's holding the remote control in his right hand). A high-resolution photo can be found here: . So, my suspicions were confirmed: User:Mizgel lied about their authorship of the photo, which I now tagged for a speedy deletion. Romano1981 (talk) 18:03, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to point out that my statement that I'm the author of the photo was initially agreed upon with the person in the photo, and he gave me permission to upload the photo to the warehouse. I contacted him, and he re-uploaded the photo to the website, indicating open licensing. As an administrator, could you please advise whether this formatting was appropriate? If not, this photo can be uploaded to Danil's (the one in the photo) website, with the license indicated. Mizgel (talk) 06:48, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

@Mizgel: Dropbox is not a suitable source. Why don't you resolve this via a ticket? COM:VRT. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 07:11, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Okay, if that's not suitable, then we'll upload the photo to Danil's official website now, indicating the license. I haven't covered the licensing process via COM:VRT yet, as publishing it on the person in the photo's personal website would be quicker. Thank you for your reply. Mizgel (talk) 07:17, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

That would certainly work too; the file can then be checked. If the Dropbox version has a higher resolution and EXIF ​​data, it should perhaps be replaced. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 07:21, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Question for the future: if photos are uploaded to the Flickr website under the required license, is this considered a good license for Wikimedia Commons? Mizgel (talk) 07:52, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes of course. Unless it's being done with a Flickr account where the account is not the rights holder. More about that COM:FLICKRWASHING. But that's a different story. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 10:09, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Good afternoon. I'm writing about the photos File:IvanKarelin2025(1).jpg and File:IvanKarelin2025.jpg. I contacted the hockey player, and he posted these photos on Flickr. Please take a look, and if all is well, please remove them from deletion. The first photo and the second photo . Mizgel (talk) 15:39, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes, exactly, and that's the crux of the matter. Whether the account actually belongs to Ivan Karelin cannot be definitively verified, and since the pictures show Ivan Karelin, he cannot be the owner of them; rather, it is always the photographer who took the photos of Karelin, for whatever purpose. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 17:03, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

You're presenting both files as your own work. Are they yours or not? Are you the copyright holder or not? If so, please upload the original file in high resolution, including EXIF ​​data. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 17:11, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

I posted the photo under my own name based on a personal verbal agreement with the hockey player himself, but now I've asked him to post it on Flickr to ensure proper licensing. Could you please tell me if this format is appropriate? Mizgel (talk) 17:16, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

No, according to your comment, the true copyright owner of the images remains unknown. Mizgel, you're actually close to me taking a closer look at all your uploads and nuking away anything that seems suspicious. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 17:24, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I honestly don't quite understand what you mean in that last sentence. Regarding the photo, there's another sentence: You can contact the hockey player on Instagram; he'll confirm that he was the one who posted the photo on Flickr and that he owns the rights to the photo. Mizgel (talk) 17:30, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

What a celebrity posts on their Instagram account is irrelevant. I honestly collect pictures of Gal Gadot, for example, but it would never occur to me to upload them all to Commons, let alone claim them as my own work. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 18:57, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

I meant that Instagram allows you to contact him and find out that he's the copyright holder and that he, as the copyright holder, uploaded the photo to Flickr. Will this option work for verification, or is the last resort—COM:VRT? Mizgel (talk) 03:48, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

A photographer posted a photo on Flickr to clarify the license ( 1 and 2 ). Could you please tell me if everything is OK? I'd also like an answer regarding the hockey player's previously uploaded photos. Should I email him at COM:VRT now? Mizgel (talk) 13:28, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Frage zu „Global/Just Replace“

Hallo, ich bräuchte einen Rat von dir. Ich sehe, du nutzt wie ich auch das JustReplace-Skript. Ich bekomme nur oftmals Fehlermeldungen und muß den Vorgang oftmals wiederholen. Meine Fragen dazu: Hast du auch solche Probleme beobachtet oder nutzt du was völlig anderes? Und welches Skript emphielst du zum Ersetzen von png zu svg-Dateien? DimiDimi (talk) 18:11, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Hallo @DimiDimi.

Vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung. Gleiches hatte ich auch schon mal @Gliwi: gefragt, der damit oftmals Wappen durch seine neue erstellten Versionen austauscht. Gliwi machte gleiche Efahrungen und das ist so gewollt. Ja, selbst ich als Admina muss das Skript mehrmals starten, wenn ich in sämtlichen Sprachversionen etwas austauschen möchte. Bei vielen Ersetzungen wird nämlich ansonsten bei einer Fileumbenennung ein Befehl an User:CommonsDelinker erstellt. Das Tool funktioniert auf die gleiche Weise. Während das File umbenennen nur Usern zur Verfügung steht, die sich auch tatsächlich dafür beworben haben und das Recht erhalten haben, steht Global/Just Replace allen Nutzern zur Verfügung. Stelle einfach sicher, das der Austausch auch gewünscht ist und öffne besser vor dem Austausch die Links zu den Sprachversionen und checke ab, ob es auch getauscht wurde. Nicht erwünscht ist es z.B. auf irgendwelchen Diskussionseiten, Projekt- oder Userseiten, da dann oftmals der Zusammenhang zur alten Datei fehlt. Du solltest auf solchen Seiten anschl. den Austausch selbst revertieren. Beste Grüsse, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 18:37, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Addendum: Ansonsten wenn du dir nicht sicher bist, dann kannst du dich auch gerne bei mir melden und ich werde dann einen globalen Austausch vornehmen. Ich editiere in jeder Sprachversion oder setze zurück, da Aussehen von Wikipedia immer gleich, ganz egal ob in Hindi, Arabisch, Hebräisch oder was weiss ich... זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 18:48, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Ist es auch ein normales Prozedere, daß wenn eine Datei bei Wikinews eingebunden ist, den kompletten Renameprozeß abbricht? Das die Seiten dort geschützt sind, ist mir bekannt. Schön wäre es aber, wenn er dann diese Einbindungen (speziell Wikinews) überspringt, weil ein Tausch nur mit Stewardrechten möglich wäre und den Rest so nicht weiter abgearbeitet wird. DimiDimi (talk) 19:34, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Ja, das Problem kenne ich nur zu gut. Wenn die Datei tatsächlich auf irgendwelchen Wikinewsseiten eingebunden ist bringt es eigentlich nicht mehr viel das Skript nochmals zu starten, da es genau dort dann weitermachen möchte. Ich selbst gehe dann hin und tausche die Datei dann eben manuell aus. זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 02:32, 20 June 2026 (UTC)
