Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 17:01, 17 December 2024 (UTC) Reply
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).
Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.🇵🇸🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 19:10, 18 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Timtrent, I plead guilty to having uploaded a cropped version of File:Olha Bregman portrait by Alina Rudya.jpg, which I naïvely assumed had been uploaded by Oflaneuse legitimately. I don't know if the upload was or wasn't legitimate. -- Hoary (talk) 23:04, 18 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- I never realised it would notify you! I thought it would notify the original uploader. I'll make sure the notice is on their user talk page. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 23:50, 18 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Wow. It informed both of you! I think you may safely disregard the notice and delete it. You did something sensible to an ill-framed picture! 🇵🇸🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 23:52, 18 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- No problem, Timtrent. I'll leave the notice up, as a reminder to be more vigilant. Though actually it is a bit disturbing, for "This media may be deleted". (First, "This criteria must be met", "This phenomena may be observed", "This referenda was decisive"? Secondly, why not simply "This file"?) -- Hoary (talk) 00:05, 19 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Beats me! This is a standard template here. I imagine long and tedious consensus building created it, and one of the deletion notification processes issues it as is. You make a good point. It is too information dense and somewhat bewildering. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 00:17, 19 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- It's not the first time I've "helpfully" improved a photo here that shouldn't have been here at all, Timtrent. See this and this. -- Hoary (talk) 00:22, 22 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
- Nothing at all wrong with that. Things like this are the way we learn. 👻 🇵🇸🇺🇦 Timtrent 🇺🇦 talk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 08:40, 22 December 2025 (UTC) Reply
