New question for you

Hello again Jazz, I have another riddle for you: I have decided to rename every photo or media item I have don as D Ramey Logan to Don Ramey Logan. Some of them, such as this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Costa_Mesa_01_Photo_D_Ramey_Logan.jpg Was once changed from Don to D Ramey. I will not be changing back to D Ramey ever again and it creates a bitter memory to me. Any suggestions?--Don (talk) 00:44, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, why does it create a bitter memory? This is quite a riddle, because there is no question. I'm quite stumped! - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:57, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

send me a e mail I will explain. Don (talk) 02:05, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

I have a few more, here is one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_City_of_Newport_Beach_July_2014_photo_D_Ramey_Logan.jpg

Any way to script the rename and do it all at once?--Don (talk) 06:11, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, I think so, but please get some community consensus (probably on COM:VP?) for such an operation. I would write a little script that performs the moves and generates instructions for CommonsDelinker to fix the usage. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 15:35, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump/Technical#Request_bulk_name_correction not getting much traction at VP, could be just do it? --Don (talk) 00:17, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, should have probably asked on COM:VP, there is no technical question. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:29, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

I am unsure of the concern. I have right to change that as the uploader, and can do it one by one I have I try to do 5 a day. 35 a week so it will only take me a few months ;) Don (talk) 00:40, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, if I do a mass rename (which would save everyone a lot of time), I'm gonna take the heat for it. Yes, policy allows uploader-requested renames. But nobody ever expected someone to request hundreds of renames due to personal preference.
You could also put a straw poll on COM:VPP. If I start mass renaming all your files without consensus somebody will 100% drag my ass to COM:ANU. Maybe nothing would come from that, but I don't need the drama.
Or you could ask COM:AN as I'll need CommonsDelinker to rename your files on projects. I can generate commands for CommonsDelinker but I won't try to insert the commands on my own as someone else should look at them to ensure they are correct. Otherwise CommonsDelinker could do a lot of damage. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:56, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Who do you suggest I ping for the commonsdelinker script review. ? Don (talk) 05:44, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#Mass_rename_requested
Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Mass_rename_request
Done --Don (talk) 05:29, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, no need to ping anyone in particular, just need to be sure administrators won't object to using CommonsDelinker in this manner. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 07:22, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Commons:File renaming - Wikimedia Commons

A user script that can rename many files in the same category: User:Perhelion/massrename.js. Note that this user script requires file mover rights.

Users without file mover rights can use User:Deltaspace42/mass-rename-request. I dont understand why others would even care? We seem to have a policy and a tool to do it? Don (talk) 05:51, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, because we are generally reluctant to rename files. Probably in part because it breaks images that were hotlinked outside Wikimedia. Strictly speaking COM:FR#FR1 has no listed limitations, but it's highly unusual for anyone to request hundreds of renames like this.
Please stop requesting renames by hand. I've seen multiple typos in your recent requests, I suspect this is becoming an unhealthy emotional burden for you. Focus on something else for a few days, there is no hurry, you'll only hurt your case if you get emotional. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 06:04, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, please don't try to rename anything yourself (you lack the required user right anyway). It is a very bad idea to use your "first written script" to make hundreds of edits. There already is a script (probably more than one), if that malfunctions I'll write my own.
Don't mention such things on COM:AN, it can only hurt your case. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 05:10, 11 June 2026 (UTC)

I wrote a script to find my videos. I did play with some code about renaming but it seemed to break the cool tool I made to find my videos...

// Commons script: Find all non-still media by Don Ramey Logan / D Ramey Logan

// Install at: User:WPPilot/common.js

//

// Run from the browser console on Wikimedia Commons:

//   findNonStillMediaByDon();

//

// This script is READ-ONLY. It does not edit, rename, tag, or move anything.

window.findNonStillMediaByDon = async function (customOptions = {}) {

    const options = Object.assign({

        uploader: 'WPPilot',

        authorNames: [

            'Don Ramey Logan',

            'D Ramey Logan'

So no one objects, I found the mass rename tool on JeffG's page but don't dare touch it. Don (talk) 23:37, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

WPPilot, you can't move files. I've asked Jmabel, if they can't I'll look into it myself.
I'm not feeling great, if I forget stuff I forget stuff. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:15, 17 June 2026 (UTC)

Images from gob.mx

Hi AJ. You left me a couple of copyright warnings relating to images I uploaded that were taken from gob.mx, the Mexican govt website. I have been told by other users at the English wikipedia that anything from a govt website can be used without any copyright problems. It came up because somebody there was using large numbers of photos that appeared on the Filipino govt website and I queried it. Is what I was told incorrect or does there need to be a process of attribution that I haven't completed properly?

All the best

--Boynamedsue (talk) 04:54, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Boynamedsue, depends on the government, and there are exceptions. Works by employees of the US federal government are public domain. COM:CRT/Mexico#Government works says works by the Mexican government are protected by copyright for 100 years. You also probably didn't provide a source, you claimed these photos were "own work". - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 05:00, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, that makes sense. For future reference, I've got a couple of questions.

1. Is there a country-by-country list of the copyright situation regarding each government's website? I am a New Page Reviewer on wikipedia, and it would be really useful.

2. What is the correct way to upload a public domain photo that isn't your own work?--Boynamedsue (talk) 09:30, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Boynamedsue,

2. Special:UploadWizard - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 10:04, 13 June 2026 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Photographs by Latin Temptation

May include content of a graphic, violent, or sexual nature.

Based on what you said in a discussion, I withdrew both the DR's here,as your reasoning was that another contributor had misapplied a specfic policy, and the parent category here had already been retained in a previous DR. However, I'd appreciate a second opinion. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:30, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00, I think you were right to withdraw. Some of the photos in that DR could be out of scope, but not that many. (I spot-checked just a few) And the quality seems mostly quite decent. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Big size circucised hungarian penis superficial dorsal veiny.jpg is a good example of what COM:PENIS is really for.
I've (sometimes speedily) kept a whole bunch of Issac's DRs. COM:PENIS doesn't mean every penis/vulva, when a photo shows something unique like a particular condition, state or illness we don't already have an abundance of high-quality images of or the image is well-lit and high quality, COM:PENIS doesn't apply. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 13:45, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, however the issue of media with 'mature' content or themes, is however not merely a discussion point for me anymore, in the last few days, it has started causing active problems. I've had periods where NO media from Commons was loading, at one point the site had reverted back to a pre CSS era, with only the basic HTML showing, not even site scripts were running. This seemed to happen after I'd raised or commented in certain DR. (I'm suspecting some kind of adaptive filtering most likely browser or back bone based, it's certainly not coming from the Wikimedia side). The lack of images from Commons, rendered contribution on Wikisource essentially unusable. Commons (and other projects) are NOT censored, but what I term are 'objectionable trust architectures' often imposed externally in the interest of 'doing something about evil and harmful content' are making it so, even if 'filtering' is not a Community supported goal.

Commons could many years ago have made an editorial decision, reluctantly to not host certain material (like certain other formerly well known encyclopedias), It bravely decided that it wasn't, going to. It's a shame that some contributors, don't get this.

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:47, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm wondering where the policy mis-application arose, because at one point they did not have a problem with certain 'stronger' fan art (check their early global contributions.) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:28, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00, sometimes it's an overcorrection for criticism they received, sometimes it's revenge for the same thing, sometimes it's just an LTA yanking our chain and presumably sometimes it's people thinking they found God.
For what it's worth, they were editing various school articles in 2024. This could indicate the user still being rather young. It's not uncommon for young people to overcorrect. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:02, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Review requested,

If you have a spare moment, I'd appreciate someone looking over the Academic context additions I'd made earlier on images I'd been patrolling. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:06, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00, link? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:10, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/ShakespeareFan00 between 13:24 and 14:22 today. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:17, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00, so for example File:Red mountain cliff in Niger.jpg (Diff ~1234028751), File:Tony Abbott 18 February 2025 cropped.jpg (Diff ~1234039979) and File:Clasificación de fotografías de la colección Wende 6.jpg (Diff ~1234037188).
I'm not sure I entirely understand, you're trying to document what the EDUSE is? Perhaps it would be better to discuss this idea on COM:VP? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 12:52, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Carley michaels

Why did you renominate these, given the existing DR?

Another consideration (given that these appear to have been uploaded by the subject or a closely associated account) is that on the face of it to my untrained perspective that {{2257}} would apply to some of the images. A relevant property d:Property:P14427 that could be added to the structured data was created back in May. (The issue as with most things on Commons, isn't techncial but policy.)

A bold move would be asking the uploader, to submit the relevant 'compliance URL' via an appropriate channel. This channel being VTRS (and if they aren't qualified WMF legal directly) off wiki. The relevant contact would then be able to add the compliance URL to the structured data (and at the same time add the appropriate "Wikimedia Commons content descriptor" ( d:P14416 ). The current situation of "deffered responsibility" is not as I see it sustainable.

I am aware of how you feel about 'anti-nude campaigners', but I feel asking uploaders like the one here to provide additional 'compliance' information is justified (If there is a process that can verify it though, which may be the point where it fails.)

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ACarley_Inserting_Dildo.jpg&diff=1234548949&oldid=1233955265 Is the information block update I would apply to this image only (reverted), and will not be applying elsewhere until you respond.

ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:03, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00, Why did you renominate these, given the existing DR?
I (wrongly) assumed it was another pile of single DRs from Issac. And some of the files weren't nominated yet.
Category:Carley Michaels (revision 1233735268) lists "Collaborations with Rodney Moore" and "Appearances on adult entertainment platforms such as MyPornAdventure and COHF productions" as "Notable appearances".
Rodney Moore is w:Rodney Moore (actor), but having worked with someone notable doesn't really mean much. I can't even find these "platforms". This isn't Adult Time or Penthouse. This girl probably isn't notable even by Wikidata standards, so if we obtained permission we'd delete the "boring" files as F10.
VRT won't verify age, they do not ask for government IDs. I'm not sure what a "compliance URL" is? And this is probably below WMF legal's pay grade. I see your conundrum but don't have a solution. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 12:07, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Actual adult sites will typically put up a URL confirming they meet the relevant regulatory requirements,the URL of which is what the linked Wikidata property seems to be for. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 06:50, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

re: your comments on the yoga poses discussion

1. it's called "quality control", that thing where you go through material on here CAREFULLY, item by item, instead of bulk dr on spurious rationales. - if you find a picture that has problems, go there, SAY SO. how hard is that?

2. i don't know what's wrong with your perception, but the body poses in the black leotard seem PRETTY CLEAR in the actual pictures. & you might have noticed that physical performance artists OFTEN wear black bodyfitting outfits. if you happen to feel that a full length body covering athletic outfit in spandex black is "kinky" or a "fetish", i'd say that's your personal opinion xD what i see is a full body covering outfit in a neutral colour. outside your & the nominating user's peculiar obsession with this "fetish" (which the other user (Dronebogus) RETRACTED in his 'user problems' defence), the ACTUAL apparent intent was to provide more "conservative" images of yoga poses, with the body fully covered. which in MANY countries would be considered more acceptable than the bikini/mini shorts/etc. type outfits in many of the yoga photos on wmc.

3. "Congratulations! You earned a spot on my global user page! " - congratulations, you willfully mis-represented my stated position, & you have earned yourself a user-complaint.

w.a.r.d., Lx 121 (talk) 23:19, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

Lx 121, it's called "quality control"
If only Areylle had exercised some of that before uploading over a hundred images of AI slop!
i'd say that's your personal opinion xD
No it's not. I have the dictionary on my side. 😆
the ACTUAL apparent intent was to provide more "conservative" images of yoga poses,
That was actually a hypothetical from Belbury, I don't recall the uploader saying anything to that effect.
congratulations, you willfully mis-represented my stated position, & you have earned yourself a user-complaint.
Cool, where can I find the complaint? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 23:54, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

Reverting my DRs

You don’t have the right to close DRs because you don’t agree with them for any reason. You are the one being disruptive here. Just because your mass DR was closed doesn’t mean nobody else can nominate the images individually. Dronebogus (talk) 02:14, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Dronebogus, guess what, the mass DR has been reopened. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 02:16, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Then that’s fine. I didn’t notice at the time I commented. Dronebogus (talk) 02:16, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Cleopatra AI image...

I recently created {{Extended context}}, You might want to consider drafting {{Extended context}} rationales for AI images Commons is retaining. (I had mind for this, content which is 'sensitive', such as distressing scenes, 'physical attacks', 'sensitive anatomy; and so forth, but if 'sensitive or controversial' also means 'not generally permitted' by Commons inclusion criteria, I feel it would be appropriate for such media to have one. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:52, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Per concerns elsewhere you do not need to follow up on this now. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:36, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

ShakespeareFan00, feel free to use User:Alexis Jazz/Proposal incubator if you're nervous about making proposals on village pumps and the like. As it's in my userspace you may need to ping some users to get feedback. You could also use your own userspace or talk page, of course.
You don't have to, this is just a suggestion. I see you have ideas, but you need a place to polish them and filter out the wonky ones. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 21:28, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thank you for your hard work of creating the RfC, and helping to answer the questions that other users had. The RfC has been long overdue, and no matter the results, hope this will mean a new chapter for Commons, and will lead to improvements regarding AI images. Tvpuppy (talk) 11:13, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you.
This very moment I'm not quite capable of fully thinking straight. I'm currently getting cooked in a heatwave, I just got a mobile air conditioning unit that's.. at least trying to do something. (I could afford a proper two-way unit, but not a house that it could be installed in) So I need to avoid commenting further on the RfC for now until my mental faculties are intact again. So if the following doesn't make sense, blame the heat (if it does make sense, feel free to copy it to the RfC discussion section): The term "commercial artwork" is misleading, as it appears the nominator meant to say "physical artwork" or "human-made artwork" instead. As shown in their reply above, it seems it's more about the artwork being incorrectly perceived to have physically existed in real life or have been created by a human, and less about the artwork being "commercial". In my view, if someone generated something that is made to look like it originates from w:Fruit Love Island or w:On This Day... 1776 (commercial artworks which are not physical and without human-made visuals), even that should be included. This may sound slightly confusing because these works are themselves AI-generated, but still there would be a difference: the notable work wouldn't be required to have the in-image indication of inauthenticity. Also if someone generated something that is made to look like one of those paintings made by elephants, that should be covered I think. I hope I'm making sense.
Have you heard of Ameripol btw? They created a, I think novel, situation. Ain't she beautiful?
Thank you again, your message helps to lift my spirits in (for me) difficult times. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 19:25, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

As discussed in the discussion and mentioned by Nux above, smartphone cameras nowadays automatically uses AI tools to add minor modifications to the photos taken. This means that there isn't an unmodified version available to upload in the first place. If this proposal is passed in its current wording, I'm worried that this will be used as a justification to delete vast majority of photographs taken by modern/smartphone cameras.
Same disclaimer as above, my apologies if I'm not making sense but feel free to copy/mention if it does make sense. Commons was launched in September of 2004, years before smartphones got decent cameras. Those AI-features will remain optional for the vast majority of smartphones for probably decades. We will have to educate users on disabling and/or not using them.
The RfC doesn't directly enable deletion. If the original was destroyed by the smartphone (I don't think they generally do that) and only an AI-modified image can be uploaded, I believe there should be an in-image declaration of the AI processing. Even if the user never knew it happened. In Commons:Deletion requests/File:Franz Zettl - 2022.png the user was convinced they hadn't used AI - they had merely removed the background within the iOS camera app. I haven't tested this myself yet, but let's just assume that is exactly how it happened: the image was distorted by the AI, not just the background. If the original had been lost, we should have added an in-image indication of it being AI-processed, without the original we could never verify whether any changes were truly minor. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 19:50, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
