POTY message on the Main Page

Hi Yann, I hope you are doing well!

I just saw your message about POTY link on the Main Page.

Here is the code in case you want to add the message for Round 2 that starts 29 September 2025 00:00:00 UTC:

<!-- Turn off "Announcement box" by blanking "Announcement Title" -->
|Announcement Title=Picture of the Year
|Announcement Text=[[File:PODY barnstar.svg|right|100px|link=COM:POTY/2024]]
<div style="margin-left: 0.3em; line-height: 1.5; color: var(--color-emphasized, #101418); font-size: 1.6em">Help select the 2024 Picture of the Year. Round 2 ends 11 October 2025 23:59:59 UTC.<br />
{{Clickable button 3|Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture of the Year/2024/Gallery/Finalists|'''Vote now &raquo;'''''|class=mw-ui-progressive}}
</div>

I just don't know if it's possible to keep the WLM announcement while also adding the POTY announcement.

@Giles Laurent: Thanks. That could be useful for round 2. FYI, I renamed File:Human running gait - terminal swing to heel strike (runner with Asics Metaspeed Edge Paris - 2024 Ljubljana Marathon).jpg, as the " and ; where bugging the results: [1]. Thanks for taking care of POTY. Yann (talk) 20:38, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Move a page (October 2025)

Hello Yann! Can you please move Category:Indian Space Research Organisation to Category:ISRO, per the article title at Wikipedia (ISRO). It would be helpful. Thanks and regards! – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 05:15, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

@Akshadev: You can do it yourself from User:CommonsDelinker/commands. Yann (talk) 15:32, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Promote a media to commons homepage

Hai, Yann, I am Ranjithsiji. We met in a copyright workshop in Banglore. Is there any procedure to make a Featured Media into the commons home page. I recently got one of my media FM. Thanks. Ranjithsiji (talk) 06:09, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ranjithsiji: You can add it to Commons:Media of the day. Yann (talk) 15:30, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Image deletion

Hi Yann, about a month ago you requested my uploaded images to be deleted because they didn't had a reliable license. However, I am definitely sure that none of those images are copyrighted and some of them were made by myself. How can i bring them back and make sure they are not deleted again? Thanks. Adlogog (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

@Adlogog: None of your files had the proper information. There are either missing sources (like File:TurkishLanguageFinal.png or File:Deliorman.png, where did you get these?) or are plain copyright violations (like File:Susurluk-Kazası.webp). You claim File:Starsofblood.jpg. is your own work, but this is doubtful (do you have the original image to prove that?). Yann (talk) 15:38, 3 October 2025 (UTC)

Regarding file File:мамочка.png

Hi. The author of the photo is my father. He uses yahoo.co.uk but never was abroad - he has made UK account because his student from India adviced him - as a tool to increase sales of his original art. His name Mickola Vorokhta, he is in Bukovina (Ukraine region) right now because of ARTACT triennale but will be back to Odesa (Ukrainian city) tomorrow morning. You can google him and he has an article about him on Wiki. I am Yurii Vorokhta, his son. I scanned this photo but he is the author indeed. He already wrote to permissions-commons and during last three months nobody touched this photo. Please advise Ethan Hawley (talk) 11:23, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Author's profile at FB: https://www.facebook.com/mickola.vorokhta - he is in Ukraine - you could see his last messages. BR Ethan Hawley (talk) 11:39, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ethan Hawley: Apparently there is a pending permission (ticket:2025071410001565). I am not a VRT agent, so I can't see the ticket. Please ask on COM:VRTN if you have questions about this. Thanks, Yann (talk) 13:05, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

I has written them. But on the warning your name is indicated - or someone is using zour profile? Ethan Hawley (talk) 14:36, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ethan Hawley: Which warning? Yann (talk) 14:37, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Ethan Hawley (talk) 14:40, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@Ethan Hawley: Well, this is not a warning. I added this template when you requested undeletion here: Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2025-10#File:Мамочка.png. Yann (talk) 14:49, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for explanation. I apologise for my stupidity Ethan Hawley (talk) 15:00, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Uploading a photo

Dear Yann, the picture I uploaded is CC BY licensed. So, I think I did not violate copyright regulations. 1textauthor! (talk) 16:08, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@1textauthor!: Who is the photographer? Yann (talk) 16:09, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

It is an official picture uploaded to the homepage of the university. And there, it is written in English that the image is licensed under CC BY. So, I think there is no violation of the copyright. This is so unfair. 1textauthor! (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

look here: https://alm-itbf.marmara.edu.tr/akademik-kadro2 1textauthor! (talk) 16:15, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

@1textauthor!: A Creative Commons license must have an author. Being an official picture doesn't put it under a free license. Please ask the copyright holder to send a permission via COM:VRT. Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:17, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
