Request to delete two files I uploaded because of license

Hi,

could someone please delete the files File:Reljefna karta Hrvatskog zagorja.png and File:Administrativna karta Hrvatskog zagorja.png? I uploaded these files as they were licensed under free CC licenses, but I later learned that Commons doesn't accept CC BY-NC licenses.

Sorry for the trouble! --Ashune (talk) 14:26, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

@Ashune: Will do, but for the future please see Template:My bad upload. - Jmabel ! talk 17:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll use that template in the future.

P.S. I'll make my own maps and upload them under the same names in the near future. (Just a heads up so someone seeing this doesn't also delete those. Ashune (talk) 20:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Meet with the Structured Content team at Wikimania!

Hi all! CParle (WMF) and I will be attending Wikimania 2024 in Katowice, Poland. Despite not having any presentation in the program, we wanted to let you know that, if you're attending Wikimania too, you can come meet us at all time during the conference and discuss with us about UploadWizard improvements or about the logo detection tool or just Commons issues. We'll be around during the whole conference, so from August 7 to 10, don't be shy and come to say hi! Sannita (WMF) (talk) 14:38, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Santo Domingo de Guzmán

Category:Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Dominican Republic might need renaming. wikipedias say "Santo Domingo, originalmente como Santo Domingo de Guzmán..." RZuo (talk) 15:17, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

How is this a VP-level issue, rather than just a reason for a CfD? - Jmabel ! talk 19:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Somehow the cfd tool doesn't seem to work. Enhancing999 (talk) 15:19, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Tool worked fine for me. - Jmabel ! talk 19:18, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Talk pages of deletion requests – again

Can we now have a final consensus on the problematic issue of using the said talk pages as discussion areas of deletion requests instead of deletion requests pages themselves? Another case, by @Estrellato: (this one), which I have now moved to the main discussion page where it should be.

Other cases I recently passed by:

• Commons talk:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Sarajevo railway station (moved)
• Commons talk:Deletion requests/File:Rashid-bin-Said.jpg (moved)

Context: Commons:Village pump/Proposals/Archive/2023/11#Disabling talk pages of deletion requests (no consensus or conclusion). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:16, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

 Support this change. There are, so far, over seven thousand deletion requests with talk pages (alphabetical list); at a glance, most of them were created by inexperienced or logged-out users in an attempt to respond to a deletion request, and many of them were never acknowledged by other editors. Blocking the creation of these pages, at least by non-autoconfirmed users, will do a lot to help these users get back on the right track. Omphalographer (talk) 05:17, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Omphalographer how about non-autopatrolled users instead, so to be more prudent in the proper use of the said talk pages? The Sarajevo railway station DR talk page was actually created by an autoconfirmed user (My-wiki-photos). JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 05:47, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Ideally, yes! Any level of restriction we can add to creating these pages is a step in the right direction; my point was that even a very slight restriction (like requiring autoconfirmed) would help. Omphalographer (talk) 00:15, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

I'd probably back any proposal to tighten this. Auto-confirmed at the very least. - Jmabel ! talk 22:42, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks @Matrix for the upgraded filter. Thanks also to all Wikimedia Commons users who participated in the old and current discussions. If there are no opposing users, this thread may now be requested for immediate archival. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 08:39, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

This section is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, replace this template with your comment. --—Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 08:45, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

2024 Summer Olympics logo.svg

Think we could export this to Commons as a simple logo?--Trade (talk) 04:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

No. I think this just meetsCOM:TOO-US via American Airlines. Glrx (talk) 14:21, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
