File:Josef Schneiderka matrika O.jpeg

because the registry entries are from an unknown author (registrar) and are freely accessible and a free work martin wolf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martin wolf (talk • contribs) 09:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC) (UTC)

@Martin wolf: I apologize for somehow never noticing this. The file was deleted because you did not add a license template. I just undeleted the file because {{PD-CzechGov}} applies. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Looks like you reuploaded it as File:Josef Schneiderka, matrika O.jpeg, so I re-deleted the one referenced above. Please ignore. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:51, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Deletion Notification Bot 2

Hi Mdaniels, the bot seems to be stuck. It has stopped working since 6 days ago. 0x0a (talk) 17:53, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

@0x0a Fixed. Thanks for letting me know. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:53, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757 stuck again? Tehonk (talk) 21:40, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757 Hi, will this bot work again? Tehonk (talk) 22:22, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

@Tehonk Fixed again. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:04, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757 thank you for the fix, it was indeed fixed but it seems it's broken again? Tehonk (talk) 01:46, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

@Tehonk Ugh. It should be fixed for good now? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

It seems to be running intermittently with some 24 hour gaps, since its return on the 16th. At the time I'm writing this comment, the most recent notification served by the bot was 27h30m ago. Belbury (talk) 15:00, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Belbury Thanks for letting me know. This appears to have been due to a different issue: some sort of error parsing the recentchanges feed. A restart fixed it, but I'll try to keep an eye on it. Please be sure to let me know again if you notice any issues. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, will do. And thanks for running a very useful bot! Belbury (talk) 17:48, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757 It's stuck again. 0x0a (talk) 04:53, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@0x0a Thanks for letting me know. I restarted it, and made it so it will show some more debugging info so I can figure out why I need to keep restarting it! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757 Just letting you know that the bot seems to be taking 24 hour breaks again, at the moment. No notifications posted to talk pages on the 21st, only one on the 23rd, and it's been silent for the past 29 hours. Belbury (talk) 19:22, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@Belbury Thanks, restarted. Hopefully I can look into the cause this weekend. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:30, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Is it by design or oversight that the bot now only seems to be running from 5pm to 5am UTC each day? Belbury (talk) 09:56, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I think that's a coincidence with when it happened to break; certainly there are no settings for that. I'm probably going to need to rewrite it eventually, but I just set up an w:en:anacron job to restart it daily. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC) (forgot ping: @Belbury: —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC))

Deletions

Why you're keeping duplicates with idiotic automated titles, uploaded by bot and deleted files with good titles uploaded by Commons users? Юрий Д.К 15:56, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Юрий Д.К.. I'm keeping the newer bot uploads instead of the older manual uploads because (1) the metadata of the bot uploads is somewhat better and (2) the image quality of the uploads is slightly better (originals vs Flickr compression). The titles appear the same, except for capitalization (for some files) and the use of the government ID instead of the Flickr ID. I of course make sure that the good work done in categorizing the older files is carried over to the new files. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:03, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Flickr does not compress files so the quality of bot/user uploads the same. However, I will rename these files, the names are idiotic. Юрий Д.К 16:10, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

@Юрий Д.К. Per the file renaming policy, I don't think renaming the files is appropriate. The identifier is fine, and indeed identifiers in this format being part of the filename is common. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok, I will left them, but I don't know what will happen with my uploads of US-Gov related files from Flickr if we've decided to delete Commmons user uploads, not bot uploads... Юрий Д.К 16:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

@Юрий Д.К., Can you provide links to 3 or more files as examples? Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 18:33, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Mdaniels5757, Can you provide information and link(s) regarding "Flickr compression."

@Юрий Д.К., Do you have any information that Flickr photos are not compressed?

Thanks, --Ooligan (talk) 18:37, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

I was wrong, the files were not compressed (the filesize was just different due to metadata differences). —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

There are some users on Commons who also upload their works to Flickr. I've uploaded some files by this users via Flickr2Commons (long time ago) and these files were exact (technically) duplicates on Commons. It means that the Flickr doesn't compress any fotos. Otherwise, these files would be technically different (they would have a different code) and it would make it much more difficult to find these "duplicates". Юрий Д.К 20:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Юрий Д.К.- Can you share some files to which you are referring? -- Ooligan (talk) 21:39, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Ooligan: Hi. File:Bison Herd grazing as a storm rolls in.jpg, File:Lone tree and snowy hills in Hayden Valley.jpg, File:Long shadows and weasel tracks near a lone tree.jpg. Юрий Д.К 07:11, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, Mdaniels5757. I thought that may have been incorrect. -- Ooligan (talk) 21:42, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Great, thank you! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't understand what you are asking about. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Media requiring renaming - rationale 1

Hey, avoid renaming those flags too fast. Something strange is happening. For example [1]. RodRabelo7 (talk) 16:01, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

@RodRabelo7 Just noticed this; thanks for letting me know. Will do. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks...

...for moving that people of Tibet category. -- Auntof6 (talk) 19:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

@Auntof6 You're welcome! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

What is ...

this? Looks like malfunction to me. Poco a poco (talk) 21:18, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

@Poco a poco Looks like someone added a nonsense DR at 13:42 (Special:Diff/883401175), and then the bot notified you at 13:54. The deletion template was removed at 18:48, so you didn't have a chance to see it. As the bot was designed to allow only a 10-minute "grace period" (to allow for manual notification), this seems to be working as designed. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:00, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Ah, ok, understood, thank you for your quick response. Best regards,Poco a poco (talk) 08:04, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Deletion Notification Bot 2

Hello Mdaniels5757, the bot is going bananas, like here. What to do? Cheers. Jeff G. suggested I talk to you. Thanks. Lotje (talk) 12:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lotje It looks like people were been making more deletion nominations without notifying people than usual; none of the notifications I saw seem to have been wrong. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:03, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Mdaniels5757. Though I do not understand why this on my user talk page. I did not upload this file. Hence my worries. Cheers. Lotje (talk) 03:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lotje Ah, that was because you created the redirect that was nominated for deletion, not the file. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
