Apparently people are not willing to let go of this

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jmabel&oldid=837613895#vi-Wikipedia_dramas

I am blocking User:Đại Việt quốc for a month and unilaterally deleting the obviously out-of-scope File:MyFirstBlog30Dec2023.pdf. If someone else decides to block User:Nguyentrongphu, I will not object. User:JrandWP appears to have been just trying to be helpful in explaining what is going on, and should certainly not be blocked for this. - Jmabel ! talk 18:25, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Before someone blocks me, let me at least explain myself. First of all, I NEVER wanted to import drama to Commons. I simply reported an incident then defended myself afterwards. After the warning from admin Jmabel, I already let it go. However, I saw a misused picture, so I simply reported Đại Việt quốc for the second time. That's all. If anything, I will just become a victim of collateral damage from reporting a misused image. As you all can see, my last 50 edits in Commons can trace back to 2010. That means I don't want to make any trouble here and have no intention to stick around. You guys will probably never see me again. Thank you for everything!

Changes to Special:Tags

Could an administrator please change the tag for "computer-aided-tagging-revert" such that it can also be "Applied manually by users and bots". Background is that I'm planning to use that tag for this: User:SchlurcherBot/Mass revert computer-aided tagging (further details are also availible on this page). Thanks Schlurcher (talk) 13:45, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I would suggest to use a new tag for this for easier differentiation between manual and bot revert. GPSLeo (talk) 15:57, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That would of course work as well. Could you set this up and let me know the tag name? Schlurcher (talk) 16:27, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Could someone please generate a tag and set up the corresponding messages?
Thank you. --Schlurcher (talk) 21:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deletion of version of file

Could you please delete the version "23:06, 31 December 2023" of File:Sam Kok 1928 (3).djvu? The reason is the version is corrupted. Thank you so much. -- Adder of Eden (talk) 16:45, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Do you mean the version at "16:06, 31 December 2023" ? Abzeronow (talk) 16:59, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes. The first version that appears to be corrupted. Thank you so much. --Adder of Eden (talk) 17:03, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For some strange reason these two files are cascade protected so I can't edit them. Could please anyone add the Template:Urheberrechtlich geschützt? By German law, the movie unfortunately is still protected until 2042. For the png also the Template:Trademarked is missing. Pleaso add this, too. -- Chaddy (talk) 16:32, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Chaddy: not a strange-reason. These files are auto-protected because they are on the Main Pages of en-wiki and zh-wiki respectively. ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I know, but this kind of protection even for trustworthy experienced, long-time users is not very reasonable. -- Chaddy (talk) 16:37, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I removed the video from Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en, and added this template to both files. File:Steamboat Willie.png is protected because of some use on Chinese Wikipedia. I am not sure about the trademark. The character depicted in later versions of Mickey films is still under a copyright, but is there a trademark on this version? Yann (talk) 16:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
KrinkleBot readded the file in Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en, and I don't understand why, as it is not in the Main Page any more. Yann (talk) 17:44, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Yann, It's because images on en:Wikipedia:Picture of the day/On the main pages are also auto-protected. ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 18:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you so far! But yes, the mouse is still trademark protected. Thus, the template is needed. -- Chaddy (talk) 20:13, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I added {{Trademarked}} to File:Steamboat Willie.png. —RP88 (talk) 20:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you very much! -- Chaddy (talk) 02:06, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Request uncontroversial deletion of a file I uploaded

Could an administrator please delete this: File:Insurgent Mexico.djvu

I uploaded it using an importer script. I believe due to an incorrect choice when using that tool, the pages are misaligned with the text layer. I'd like to re-import, but I can't do so unless this file is deleted. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:40, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Peteforsyth: Sure, but for the future see {{My bad upload}}. No need to come to COM:AN for this. - Jmabel ! talk 01:29, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
