Request

Can you please look at [1] it is not free and I put it up for nomination a while ago, and nothing came of it, it is 100% not free per my comment on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Liv Morgan CJ.jpg. Lemonademan22 (talk) 13:12, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

 Done OK, deleted. Yann (talk) 14:51, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

I hate to beg but these two this and this too per my comment on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Stephanie vaquer.jpg and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Tatum Paxley.jpg, respectivley. Lemonademan22 (talk) 16:54, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

@Lemonademan22: If the files are obvious copyright violations, like in this case, just tag them for speedy deletion. Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:12, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

I have never done that before, how would I do that as opposed to nominating them for deletion? Lemonademan22 (talk) 15:54, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

@Lemonademan22: Please see Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. If there are many files by the same user, you can use Help:VFC. Yann (talk) 15:58, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! Lemonademan22 (talk) 01:29, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Eurotunnel imagery

You deleted the Eurotunnel loco images that I nominated quite fast... And yes, normally I would have chosen a speedy (the situation is clear enough), but I had the hope that during a DR, the Getlink operator would have spoken up, to guide them through the needed licensing clarifications. Let's hope that some guy is still interested in the Getlink account and actually goes to VRT. The media were IMHO valuable; I left them a message on their talk page below your copyvio warning, maybe that'll help. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 14:04, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

@Grand-Duc: Hi, Honestly, I doubt Eurotunnel would license anything under a free license. Anyway, it would take time. The files can be undeleted if ever a permission arrives. Yann (talk) 14:32, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

I know. :-) And I had at least another occasion to retrain my French, as it's long ago that I had to use it as tool for daily communications and not only for reading (a quarter of a century, in fact), so, it'll net my a positive in any way - and making me more able to help my son for his French school lessons.

Hello ! Anonym, without understanding the issue, nominated the monument for removal due to FOP. However, the monument is located in Armenia, and all FOP requirements are met on its territory

March 28, 1986 Scorer's Report Request

Thank you for the restoration. Are you aware that there is a second file attached to the scorer's report data for the game? - Brutal Reply (talk) 23:49, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

@Brutal Reply: Hi, I undeleted all files. Next time, please do not forget to add the source, the author, and the license. Yann (talk) 05:32, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Request by Bdblakley29

Hey User:Yann, It's been a while. I want to Preface this with an apology, when we last spoke I treated you rather rudely, even though you were only doing what was best for Wikipedia, and I apologize. I was hoping that I could possibly earn back the ability to upload images to this site. If you remember back in June, you stated that "You will unblocked when you have fixed all your files (either tagged for deletion, or provided proper source, date, author, and license), and if and when you demonstrated an understanding of Commons policies, and a willingness to follow them. " which I accomplished and I was hoping that you would possibly consider unbanning me. Have a good day! Bdblakley29 (talk) 23:11, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

@Bdblakley29: Hi, Sorry, I was busy. You still have files with the wrong license. {{PD-author}} means that the author releases the document into the public domain. That's obviously not the case for some files. For images from the Smithsonian Institute, you have to provide the source. This is the case for all files, e.g. File:Clinton on his birthday.jpg, File:Union soldier Lewis F. Roe in Galesburg, Illinois.png, etc. You can be unblocked when this is fixed. Yann (talk) 12:25, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

@Yann: Hi Yann, just got done redoing the citations on every image I uploaded between May 3 to June 22, 2025. Including proper sources and proper license. Bdblakley29 (talk) 01:06, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

File:Boy holding large turkey LCCN 2005691484.jpg

Do you think this has a chance of passing at FPC? I'm on the fence myself. JayCubby (talk) 16:40, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

@JayCubby: Hi, The resolution and quality are not IMO good enough. Also it is not significant enough on historical POV. Yann (talk) 16:44, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a ton. Maybe someday the LoC will rescan their b&w copies. JayCubby (talk) 16:45, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Question on file

Hello, why was this logo deleted: File:Logo of HSD-SMS.jpg? Thank you. ThecentreCZ (talk) 19:04, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

@ThecentreCZ: It was tagged as a complex design. Yann (talk) 19:05, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Not a complex design it was derivate coat of arms File:Znak Moravy.svg as PD-CzechGov for sure. ThecentreCZ (talk) 19:19, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

@ThecentreCZ: OK, I undeleted it and fixed the license. Sorry for the inconvenience. Yann (talk) 19:21, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Uploads by User:Fkhuong

Hi Yann. Would you mind taking a look at some of the files uploaded by Fkhuong They go back as far as 2007 and include some uploaded quite recently. Almost all of them are claimed as "own work", even though most seem not to be. File:Khuong Medals.jpg, for example, is clearly a photo taken using an iPhone of another photo taken in the 1960s or 1970s, which obviously couldn't have been taken with an iPhone. Some of these might be old enough to be relicensed as PD for one reason or another per COM:Vietnam (though I'm not sure how South Vietnamese works are treated by Vietnam's copyright laws), but the URAA date could make things complicated. The EXIF data for the most recent uploads indicates they likely come from some Facebook account, but I can find exactly which one to check to see whether they've been released under acceptable licenses. FWIW, I only stumble upon these becase the same use uploaded several files locally to English Wikipedia without any copyright licenses or source information. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:25, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Hi, I warned this user, and nominated most files for deletion: Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Fkhuong. Yann (talk) 08:20, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for taking a look at these. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:58, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Question

Hello I do not understand what the problem from your message is, may you explain please? TheEconomizer67 (talk) 21:56, 23 November 2025 (UTC)

@TheEconomizer67: Hi, Do not copy files from the Internet, unless you have a written permission for a free license from the copyright holder. Anyway, please provide the complete source for your files. Thanks, Yann (talk) 07:36, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Copywright infringement was not done

Yann, The belief that there was copyright infringement on the post for Lawrence Maynard by user SingDuall is not justified. All the information is original source data from the author, so cannot infringe on a copyright.

Please rescind the removal of the post. Thank you. SingDuall (talk) 14:32, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

@SingDuall: Which author? Anyway your files are out of scope. Please read that page, and do not upload any more such files, or you will be blocked. Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:08, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you Yann for your quick response.

The author is Lawrence E Maynard.

I read the out of scope information.

My post qualifies as educational material as it provides information to readers about the author of books available on the market.

I believe my item Singular Dualiity was deleted under CSD U3 in error.

The book has a verified Bowker ISBN (979-8-9935907-0-7), is listed on Amazon and Goodreads, and meets the creative work notability requirements at Wikidata:Notability.

I can provide structured sources:

ISBN via Bowker (official registration) 979-8-9935907-0-7

Amazon link (sales page) https://www.amazon.com/Singular-Dualiity-Lawrence-Maynard/dp/1980399247

Goodreads listing (reader community reference) https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/194666537?ref=nav_mybooks

I would like to request restoration so I can reformat the item properly with external identifiers.

Thank you for your time and help. SingDuall (talk) 16:22, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

@SingDuall: Then Lawrence E. Maynard must send a permission for a free license via COM:VRT. The file will be undeleted if and when the permission is validated by one of the volunteer agent. Yann (talk) 16:24, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Please undelete

You should have a pixel peep at this one. I did. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:10, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

@Charlesjsharp: I downloaded the file, and checked it at 200%. It shows clear sign of manipulation. I added a note to the FPC. Thanks for your message. Yann (talk) 19:46, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Decorated Rafale

Yann, could you tell me what you think that the main subject is on those Rafale images?

A Rafale in a livery for exhibition flights IMO signifies that the livery is NOT accessory to the image of such Rafale, and the livery is certainly NOT blending into a general scene, as the COM:DM France text ("fondait dans l’ensemble architectural de la place des Terreaux dont elle constituait un simple élément, la cour d’appel en a exactement déduit qu’une telle présentation de l’oeuvre litigieuse était accessoire au sujet traité,") hints to. On File:Airpower on Display at Paris Airshow 2025 (9124123).jpg for instance, you cannot very well argue that the main subject is a Rafale that just oh-so-happens to carry an artistic representation of the Tricolore. It's perhaps more the opposite, the Rafale is accessory as canvas for the paintwork... And the plane is certainly not blending into an overall scene (imaginable maybe on a flight line with several planes lined up, or during an elephant walk), but clearly a centrepiece and main motif. I think that the UNDEL request was misleading and your restauration not sensible. Could you eventually reconsider?

Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 20:42, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Photos du voilier espagnol

Bonsoir @Yann,

Merci d'avoir restauré les fichiers. Merci également pour cette remarque. Bah oui, je me souviens très bien de la longue demande de suppression – et du nombre de tickets, des courriels et de nerfs qu'il a fallu pour obtenir toutes les autorisations. J'espère que c'était la dernière et tu comprendras que je ne demanderai pas d'autres photos au voilier. ;-)
