Orphaned non-free image File:Grand Guignol poster (crop).png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Grand Guignol poster (crop).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Signature check tool

Hi, does this tool check for obsolete <font>...</font> tags? I noticed that it does not report any lint errors for Tariqabjotu's signature on enwiki:

-- '''[[User:Tariqabjotu|<font color="black">tariq</font><font color="gray">abjotu</font>]]'''

See here. —Bruce1eetalk 15:06, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

@Bruce1ee It is not currently configured to do so because the signature validator in MediaWiki is not configured to do so. While it was originally intended to catch all lint errors, checking for obsolete font tags was disabled because of the low likelihood <font> will ever be removed, and because some editors complained that using <span style=...> would put their signatures over the length limit. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 19:00, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation. The reason I queried this was because the About page said "The following problems are detected ... Any Lint errors". —Bruce1eetalk 23:34, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Phab link related to line breaks in signatures and the signature-checking tool

I mentioned you and your signature-checking tool at T329785. No need for action; just an FYI unless you would like to chime in. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:17, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Blocked on Commons

Hey AntiCompositeNumber, I'm coming back to you to apologize for the illegal actions on Wikimedia Commons from a few years ago. I was new and didn't know how everything worked. We are now seven years ahead and I have contributed a lot to the French encyclopedia. Soon, I will be part of a team of photographers for the Morocco-Brazil match that will take place in Tangier on the 25th. My goal is to import several photos that I will take with my camera here. What are the steps to be unlocked please? A.Nawfel (talk) 09:55, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

File:Anti-Islamism.svg

you reverted my edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AModern_primat&diff=prev&oldid=1115360005&diffmode=source AND YOU DID IT with Wikipedia:User_pages#POLEMIC.... WHICH IT IS NOT actually polemic!! i just added a image and added this to its description: ""nice 3x, LOL!!"".

there is 2 problem with your revert:

  1. you didnt acknowledge(my english is bad, i mean "inform") me about this. i saw this right now.
  2. this is NOT a polemic! it is just a IMAGE and nothing more! even not a political statement! AND im adding it right now with same description.

so, either you count that as a warning or humble advice; take care with your admin actions. ----modern_primat ඞඞඞ TALK 16:46, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

List of chairs

Hello AntiCompositeNumber, I went ahead and added the chair that editor Segaem seems to have been attempting to add to List of Chairs (Thomas Heatherwick spun chair), as the piece itself is interesting and notable. I then noticed afterwards that you had blocked the User, so I thought it appropriate to mention the edit here. I think it's a valuable addition to the list, and would even consider adding the photo from the it:wp article if the licencing is ok and the image can be used on Commons.

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

@Ferien No, not at the moment. Is that something that would be useful to you? AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 20:37, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
AntiCompositeNumber, yes, I think so. --Ferien (talk) 20:56, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.
