Running the Commons PoTD bot at Basque Wikipedia[edit]

Hello! I was just messing around and trying to find out how the bot works, but before starting installing it at Toolforge (which doesn't seem something easy), I would like to ask if there's any change to fun the bot at Basque Wikipedia directly. Would it be possible for you? Thanks! Theklan (talk) 13:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It should work without any changes. I could run it on Basque Wikipedia for you. — JJMC89 19:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request[edit]

It would have been nice to have the opportunity to change my userpage myself, rather than finding it done for me. Perhaps you should think about just asking or notifying the users whose rights have changed, before doing that wholesale. ☆ Bri (talk) 20:54, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You had almost six years to do it yourself. That is plenty of opportunity. — JJMC89 18:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the future[edit]

I really could have edited by User page on my own. But, it is already done so okay. Just wanted to remind you SingFan2023 (talk) 14:11, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You could have, but we aren't going to wait for you to correct blatant policy violations yourself. — JJMC89 18:28, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay got it. 65.18.48.129 (talk) 11:48, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bot removing NFCC violations[edit]

Hello!

I've gone through Wikipedia:Database reports/Overused non-free files and removed a few FURs that I deemed not compliant. Your bot then removed the corresponding uses, for example see Special:Diff/1222254975, however some of the uses have not been removed by the bot. See for example File:CHN logo.svg and File:Romania basketball team.png. Do you know why this is? Jonteemil (talk) 09:15, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It depends. The "recent" removals are based on a page using the file being edited, not the file page being edited. The former is the most common way violations are introduced. The bot also checks all non-free file uses twice a month. Since this takes a significant amount of time, some uses can appear to be missed, but they should be caught the next time it runs. — JJMC89 18:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, than I'll just standby and hope the uses be caught eventually. Jonteemil (talk) 21:10, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This bot needs to stop messing up drafts[edit]

In userspace, and even more importantly, in draft space. Those are articles, soon to be published. I can see how this may be difficult to deal with in userspace, where many non-article pages exist, but there is no excuse for the bot trying to censor images in draftspace. _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 10:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No – the use of non-free media outside of articles is not permitted. Continuing to violate policy will likely lead to you or your students being blocked. — JJMC89 16:24, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lay off the threats. Violating civility and such can lead to a boomerang to what you just wrote. _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 09:18, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What you're asking is a violation of of the Non-free content criteria policy which exists To minimize legal exposure by limiting the amount of non-free content, using more narrowly defined criteria than apply under the fair use provisions in United States copyright law. So instead of criticizing the bot owner why don't you clarify this with legal@wikimedia.org? Nobody (talk) 09:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@1AmNobody24 I am happy to learn about such rules and help enforce them in the future, all I am saying is that I expect the bot owner - or any other user - to comment on things politely, instead of instantly threatening blocks, particularly when we are dealing with things that can be quite confusing (ex. how drafts are not "articles"). _{Piotrus at Hanyang| reply here} 10:16, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a sensitive subject, especially due to it's possible legal implications. And while not every administrator deals with them the same way, I've seen many times where the violating user got indeffed after 3-4 warnings. While I get your civility concern, JJMC's message was in line with our warning for copyright violation {{Uw-copyright}}: persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. I understand that students don't know our plethora of policies and guidelines and that the way we deal with copyright concerns can sometimes be seen quite bitey. But all edits that violate 5P3 could be possible legal concerns and have to be dealt with immediately. Nobody (talk) 10:56, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
