Commons:Administrators' noticeboard
This is a place where users can communicate with administrators, or administrators with one another. You can report vandalism, problematic users, or anything else that needs an administrator's intervention. Do not report child pornography or other potentially illegal content here; e-mail legal-reportswikimedia.org instead. If reporting threatened harm to self or others also email emergencywikimedia.org. | |||

Bot edit war
Two bots are edit-warring at File:Passengers on a Washington State Ferry, circa 1980s (54040757828).jpg. As the uploader, I'm the only admin who is not allowed to hand-review the license and clear this up. - Jmabel ! talk 04:14, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Jmabel, Done but this edit-war made me laugh. Regards, Aafi (talk) 05:51, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- @MGA73 some files do need manual review. please tweak your bot design to avoid repeating the review request too many times. RoyZuo (talk) 13:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- I stopped my bot. --MGA73 (talk) 13:41, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
export a file from Commons
I would like to export this file File:ŌgaiYatarō-An Airman.png, which was originally uploaded on the Japanese Wikipedia by me, to jawiki but do not know how to do it. The file is PD in Japan but may be non-PD in US. At least we cannot rule its possibility out nevertheless User:真夢城(まゆき) carelessly imported it to Commons. In my knowledge only administrators can revert it to jawiki so that would someone please do it instead of me? HinokisOfRoma (talk) 12:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Presumably you can just get ja:ファイル:ŌgaiYatarō-An Airman.png undeleted on ja-wiki. I'm not an admin there, so I cannot examine the history of deleted files there. - Jmabel ! talk 19:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for reply. Unfortunately your suggestion does not work because file history was already erased on jawiki. We can trace it just on Commons.--HinokisOfRoma (talk) 20:34, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- @HinokisOfRoma: I think you are misinformed about the history erasure on jawiki, please ask there on jawiki anyway. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:05, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for reply. Unfortunately your suggestion does not work because file history was already erased on jawiki. We can trace it just on Commons.--HinokisOfRoma (talk) 20:34, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- I think you may have to re-upload it to JaWiki and then have an importer import the Commons history. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:52, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
Protection of User:Red link example
I have created User:Red link example for use in documentation and testing.
Can someone kindly permanently protect the user and talk pages, with an edit summary noting that purpose?
I have also requested that the account be globally locked. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:52, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
- User and talk pages have indefinite protection of template editors and administrators. Abzeronow (talk) 22:11, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Move request for File:Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư, University of Tokyo 20140308.jpg
Please move the file to File:Complete Annals of Great Viet, University of Tokyo 2014-03-08.jpg (edit protected): To clarify the name of the book and some date formatting. —— Eric Liu(Talk) 16:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done Abzeronow (talk) 17:27, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! —— Eric Liu(Talk) 21:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- I fail to see the justification. RoyZuo (talk) 22:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
DR close request
Could an admin take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fuengirola - Monumento Juan Gómez González, 'Juanito' 2.jpg and determine whether it can be closed? No additional comments have been made more than a month, and I don't think that there's going to be a sudden increase in comments if the DR continues to remain open. I'm not advocating in favor of a particular close; just asking that it be assessed and then closed as the administrator sees fit. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- DR has been closed. Abzeronow (talk) 05:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Abzeronow. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Can someone delete these subtitles? It's for the wrong file. Thanks! // Kakan spelar (talk) 17:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Edit war
Some anonymous contributor thinks that "Militsiya" (Russian police before the 2011 reforms) cars are not police cars despite 2 other saying him they are.
- File:Russia police car 11.JPG
- File:Russia police car 04.JPG — this one was still in service in 2019 as a police car
- File:St. Petersburg - Police Car.jpg
I'm not sure what to do here while it's not a vandalism, but these contributions are unconsensual and kinda, silly. idk. Красный wanna talk? 06:50, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done. I reverted that and semi-protected them for a year. Taivo (talk) 11:14, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
