Error 403 and lots of display errors with photos that no longer load
Hello, I'm currently having issues viewing images on Commons as of tonight, but not on my phone. The error message:
Our servers are currently under maintenance or experiencing a technical issue
If you report this error to the Wikimedia System Administrators, please include the details below.
Request served via cp6005 cp6005, Varnish XID 81203505 Upstream caches: cp6005 int Error: 403, Too many requests. (22714d4) at Wed, 01 Oct 2025 18:35:05 GMT
Do you know where this could come from? And am I the only one? Did I make too many server requests? It's still strange, isn't it? Thank you in advance Sebring12Hrs (talk) 18:49, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

- It was a larger issue. Even the upload and publishing were impossible at that moment .--PantheraLeo1359531 😺 (talk) 11:37, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi all. I recently came across this photograph of Marie Goldsmith, and I'm having difficulty attempting to identify the photographer or photography studio that created it. The photograph was taken in Paris in 1916, and it is currently archived in the archives de l’État de Neuchâtel. From what I can parse of the signature, it seems to say "Bournoff" or "Gournoff" or something similar, but I haven't been able to find anything by this name from searching around. Could someone here help me try and identify this photographer? Thanks in advance. --Grnrchst (talk) 21:07, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
