Money Brothers

Hi! Seems like there have been some sort of person swap in the photos you've uploaded depicting Escape the Fate, specifically the ones of Michael and Monte Money. To let you know the one depicted File:13-06-09 RaR Escape the Fate Michael Money 07.jpg is not Michael, he's Monte. As a consequence, the one in File:13-06-09 RaR Escape the Fate Bryan Money 02.jpg. So I'm asking you if you could please correct names and descriptions of all those files. If you need some photos to recognise them, you can use their social media accounts (Monte: https://instagram.com/montemoney2?igshid=1a5ce45v7ejby ; Michael: https://instagram.com/michaelmoneytv?igshid=z5pcs6s6h6e6).

Note: they have got different tattooes ;).

Thank you in advance. Astubudustu (talk)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Achim Raschka. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Achim Raschka~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

22:08, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Dear Keegan Peterzell, I hope this is a very bad joke ... No, I really do not like this and I do not accept this after 11 years of editing wikipedia and commons ... -- Achim Raschka (talk) 23:06, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen

Hallo Achim Raschka,

nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.

Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.

Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.

Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

( Bernd Gross, 6. August 2015)

Names of the guys...

Hi there .

In all those heavy metal cat's do you know some names of the members of the bands? If yes it'll help me a lot to make-up Category:Members of xxx. Some times it's written in the desc but sometimes I never heard about this band... Have you some thing else more important to do? I guess no other cat's to fillup . Anyway, if you don't have time, I'll do it alone as I do.

Have a good week. -- LW² \m/ ^{(Lie ² me...)} 00:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi LW² \m/ ,

normally I try to find out the members via reseach in the German and English Wikipedia. Monst bands I handle with have articles in one of those two wikipedias. But you are right, I really don't have time to also gor for "Member of ..." categories since my focus in the moment is more to get an overview of all the bands photographed in the last 4 years in the festivalsommer project where I am part of the organizers. All the best, -- Achim Raschka (talk) 07:26, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

New moves...

Hi! Are you sure Category:Rock im Park 2015 should be in Category:Wacken Open Air in the 2010s? WOA is at en:Wacken and RaR/RiP at en:Nürburg, I guess... Have a sweet week . -- LW² \m/ ^{(Lie ² me...)} 01:08, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

It also was a pleasure for me - and I had a really good time to have a look at your pictures that I really like. I nominated two more of those, now wait and see.

Nachholtermin 17. Fotoworkshop

Im Gedenken an Gnu

Moin von der Küste,
es ist schon so viele Jahre her, dass wir uns in Nürnberg getroffen haben, wir (Ailura und ich) planten deshalb einen Fotoworkshop im Frühjahr 2019. Als wir erfuhren, dass Sebastian ebenfalls in Frühjahr ein BarCamp plant, entschlossen wir uns, zusammen zu arbeiten. Wir gliedern uns organisatorisch an diesem BarCamp an, sprich sind im gleichen Hotel, essen gemeinsam und nutzen ein Raum des Camps für unsere Fotovorträge, ähnlich wie auf der WikiCon 2011 in Nürnberg.
Wie Ihr vielleicht mitbekommen habt, ist Gnu zu seiner letzten Wanderung aufgebrochen, daher möchten auch wir seiner Gedenken.
Die weiteren Tage wollen wir gemeinsam ein Programm aus Fototouren und Vorträgen zusammenstellen, es ist noch viel Luft für Eure Ideen und Vorträge. Den geplanten ausführlichen LR Workshop wird zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt im Frühsommer ( WMDE gibt den Ort vor) stattfinden, da dieser sehr weit in die Tiefe gehen soll. Ich würde mich freuen, Euch in Nürnberg begrüßen zu können, wundere Dich nicht über meine Nachricht auch wenn Du lange nichts mehr editiert hast, ich habe Deinen Namen aus den letzten FWS kopiert. ;)

Tschüß
Euer
-- Ra Boe watt?? 12:43, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Minecraft board game blocks 02.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Minecraft board game blocks 02.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Frage

Moin Achim, ich bitte Dich folgendes zu beurteilen. [1] Wir haben diese Category, erst mal ok. Darin findet sich, vermutlich von einem Mitarbeiter der Firma angelegt, die Unterkat [2] „Solarschiff Orca ten Broke - www.seminarschiff.com - am Liegeplatz Focus Teleport Berlin in Berlin Alt-Moabit“ mit der Adresse der Webseite des Unternehmens. Ebenso sind alle Bilder beschriftet mit der Webseite im Namen. Ein büschen Werbung ist ja ok und wird sich nicht vermeiden lassen, aber in einer Kat finde ich das etwas übertrieben. Deine Meinung und wie sind da so die üblichen Regeln? Ich meine das sollte angepasst werden. Danke und Grüße -- Biberbaer (talk) 19:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2020

Hallo Achim_Raschka,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2020 findet zum zehnten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Obwohl es den Wettbewerb seit zehn Jahren gibt, sind immer noch viele Motive überall in Deutschland zu fotografieren. Neben beeindruckenden märchenhaften Schlössern, Burgen und Kirchen können auch andere Kulturdenkmale wie Brücken, Industrieruinen, Bauernhöfe oder Parks fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden, die sich über Fotos freuen. Es haben sich auch Kulturdenkmale verändert, sie wurden saniert oder umgestaltet. Diese Entwicklung kann auch gezeigt werden. Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab 5. September 2020 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Oktober tagt, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams Z thomas 15:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Festivalsommer and structured data

Hi Achim, I hope you're doing well. Have you done anything with structured data? I started updating Wiki Loves Monuments related files and am now working on copyright in general. I was thinking about the files uploaded for the Festivalsommer over the years. Quite a bit of interesting context could be added to these files. Things like depicts (P180) for the artist, significant event (P793) for the festival and location of creation (P1071) for the venue. Do you have any thoughts about this? Would you be willing to help out with this? Multichill (talk) 16:46, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth 2021

Hallo Achim_Raschka,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. Mai bis zum 31. Mai 2021 findet zum neunten Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth statt. Deutschland ist zum achten Mal dabei. Dabei können unter anderem Nationalparks, Naturschutzgebiete, Geotope und Naturdenkmäler fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

• Sieger WLE 2020
• 
  Südliche Mosaikjungfer (Aeshna affinis) am Westufer des Gülper Sees
• 
  Bienenfresser im FFH-Gebiet Kaiserstuhl
• 
  Röhrling mit Fliege im Bruderwald in Bamberg
• 
  Strand im Nationalpark Boddenlandschaft
• 
  Neuntöter im Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald

Wie du bei den Top 5 des vergangenen Jahres siehst, sind vor allem Tiere unter den Siegerbildern. Aus diesem Grund setzen wir den Fokus dieses Jahr stärker auf Landschaftsaufnahmen. Aber natürlich haben auch Tierbilder eine Chance zu gewinnen.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben Naturdenkmälern wie alten Bäumen oder Naturparks im Gebirge und am Meer können Geotope wie Findlinge, Quellen und Aufschlüsse oder FFH-Gebiete fotografiert werden, um sie unter anderem in der Wikipedia zu dokumentieren. Auch im vergangenen Jahr sind zahlreiche neue Listen und Artikel in diesen Bereichen entstanden, für die wir uns über Fotos freuen. Als Einstieg für die Suche nach Motiven hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du bei WLE 2021 - Deutschland und unter dieser Anleitung. Falls du im Moment nicht wie sonst in die Natur fahren kannst, findest du vielleicht in den Tiefen deiner Festplatte oder auf dem Smartphone noch interessante Fotos.

Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art.

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, vom 1. Mai bis 30. Juni 2021 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die im Juli tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Earth 2021 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist bald hier freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Hallo Achim Raschka,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2021 findet zum elften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Obwohl es den Wettbewerb seit über zehn Jahren gibt, sind immer noch viele Motive überall in Deutschland zu fotografieren. Im Herzen Deutschlands in Thüringen und in Niedersachsen sind neue Denkmallisten entstanden, die auf Fotos warten. Übrigens in der Hauptstadt Thüringens in Erfurt findet dieses Jahr die WikiCon vom 1. bis 3. Oktober statt. Dies könnte man mit einem Foto-Kurzurlaub vor der WikiCon in Thüringen verbinden …

Vor dem Hintergrund der Flutkatastrophe 2021 haben wir auch drei Sonderpreise ausgelobt. Damit sollen Fotos prämiert werden, die Kulturdenkmale zeigen, die zerstört wurden. Das Foto kann das Objekt vor oder nach der Zerstörung zeigen.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Du bist interessiert, am Wettbewerb mitzuwirken, dir fehlt aber die richtige Technik? Dann wirf doch mal einen Blick in den Technikpool und das Technikleihportal von Wikimedia Deutschland! Dort findest du Kameras, Objektive und Zubehör verschiedenster Art.

Vorlage Klaus Rudloff

Hello! I see you created the custom license template User:Achim Raschka/Vorlage Klaus Rudloff, which is used in many images at Category:Photographs by Klaus Rudloff. I have 2 questions: 1) why does it state "© Raimond Spekking" (what relationship does Spekking have with Rudloff?) and 2) where is the evidence that Rudloff gave permission for his works to be used under the CC BY-SA 4.0? Several images (perhaps all) hosted on BioLib.cz state: "Copyright - All rights reserved. The resized photographs can be freely used on any pages for non commercial, scientific and educational purposes, if you let me know about it first." (e.g. here and here). This non-commercial restriction appears incompatible with COM:Licensing. I have notified one uploader of potential copyright violations of Klaus Rudloff's works, and if evidence cannot be found that Rudloff (or a legal copyright representative) gave permission, the files may be have to be deleted. Any information you can provide will be helpful. Thank you. --Animalparty (talk) 21:27, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Dear --Animalparty,

thank you for this message: Permission of Klaus Rudloff was given via mail and can be followed by this ticket. The name of Raimond is a C&P mistake from the template used - corrected now. -- Achim Raschka (talk) 21:34, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. Could you add the OTRS ticket to the template? I don't have OTRS access to know the scope of the permission, but putting it in place would likely avoid future uncertainty and premature deletion attempts --Animalparty (talk) 22:21, 21 December 2021 (UTC).

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Max Liebermann - Die Rasenbleiche Skizze Salon.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Nach WLM 2022 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel die Denkmallisten in Cloppenburg oder in Oldenburg.

Wir haben dieses Jahr unter dem Motto „Klein aber Oho“ drei Sonderpreise für Kleindenkmale ausgelobt. Damit sollen Fotos prämiert werden, die die unterschätzten Kleindenkmale wie Grenzsteine oder Bildstöcke zeigen.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Missing license templates

4000+ files you uploaded show up in Category:CC-BY-SA-4.0, but don't use {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}}. That's probably because User:Achim Raschka/licence incorrectly adds Category:CC-BY-SA-4.0. I can have a bot add the missing licenses if you like before I fix the user template. Multichill (talk) 17:24, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Multichill, feel free to do so if this helps - I don't have an overview at the moment (to many construction sites ...). I have to discuss with you on another topic (provenance on artwork) in the near future and will come back to you soon - Achim Raschka (talk) 17:46, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

 Done I added missing template(s) and updated User:Achim Raschka/licence. Multichill (talk) 18:20, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

@Multichill: Thanks - just saw that this categorisation was not added by myself. All the best -- Achim Raschka (talk) 18:58, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Daily gallery updater has failed on User:Achim Raschka/Festivalsommer/OgreBot/gallery

Hello. This message is to inform you that a daily gallery in your userspace, User:Achim Raschka/Festivalsommer/OgreBot/gallery, has failed. Your gallery has a hard upper-limit of about 8000 files per day, while your gallery would have had 8780 files (including files already on the page).

This usually happens because a gallery is too broad, encompassing too many subcategories. Please review the logs here and request that a subcategory be excluded, or narrow your category choice(s).

Please make your request for removal at User talk:OgreBot/gallery within 4 days, or your gallery will be subject to removal.

Thank you. Magog the Ogre (via OgreBot (talk) 03:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC))

File:Piet Mondriaan Victory Boogie Woogie.jpg

Why did you rename this file? Doesn't seem to be in line with Commons:File renaming. His name actually Piet Mondriaan. Please undo. Multichill (talk) 18:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@Multichill: seems your right, sorry, undone - but he whole category tree is based on the international better known name Mondrian, see Category:Paintings by Piet Mondrian. Doesn't matter for me ... -- Achim Raschka (talk) 19:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, but you should really read Commons:File renaming (again) and stick to it. Files shouldn't just be renamed to give them a better name. Multichill (talk) 09:57, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Be sure, I read it - better name meant:

page File:Abb 013-700x488.jpeg to File:Angelika Kauffmann Selbstbildnis am Scheideweg zwischen Musik und Malerei 1791-1792.jpg an File:Lehmbruck1.jpg to File:Wilhelm Lehmbruck Schlaf 1907.jpg - both followed #2 meaningless or ambiguous name to a name that describes what the image particularly displays - don't you agree? -- Achim Raschka (talk) 13:21, 7 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:1905 Christian Rohlfs Männlicher Rückenakt.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

@Aaron Liu: a troll stalking me in the German Wikipedia and now also is expanding to commons (see above) - nothing to care about -- Achim Raschka (talk) 12:48, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Huh… really weird how they chose me, a no-namer. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:12, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
