All his uploaded pictures must be deleted according to the policy. He is a confirmed sock of user:Musée Annam (a global banned user). Nguyentrongphu (talk) 08:53, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This deletion discussion has been stagnant for an entire month and appears to have an overwhelming consensus to keep. As I’m heavily involved here I don’t want to close it, so if an uninvolved admin could close it that would be great. Dronebogus (talk) 10:25, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[Urgent] Interface-Admin actions needed for Picture of the Year

Dear administrators,

All scripts from Picture of the Year have been completely rewritten this year thanks to the help of Ingenuity. The current POTY committee plans to launch POTY on September 15th or October 1st.

However, as long that these 3 edit requests are not fullfilled, it is technically impossible for POTY to run this year : edit request n° 1, edit request n° 2 and edit request n° 3.

I would be very grateful if someone could have a look into it.

Due to the urgency of the situation (POTY starting very soon), I'm posting this message here. Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards and wishing you a nice day -- Giles Laurent (talk) 20:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Giles Laurent: Assuming your links are correct, these need a someone who can edit in MediaWiki space. As a regular admin, I cannot. - Jmabel ! talk 22:16, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your reply. Where can an admin with access to MediaWiki space be found? If you happen to know an active one, could you please ping him? -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:22, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Need someone here who has the permissions to edit in MediaWiki space. User:Steinsplitter can you do this, or do you know who could? - Jmabel ! talk 03:10, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging also Multichill as you were the last person active on third link. Could any of the interface admin help us? -- Giles Laurent (talk) 07:29, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the non-urgent, non-js, non-cs requests would be interesting to have too.

@Steinsplitter and Multichill: , could you please add "Ingenuity" on the MediaWiki:POTY/committee.json? Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 13:58, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can somebody please close this DR? The nominator (me) has withdrawn the nomination, and the only "delete" !vote has also changed their mind. --Rlandmann (talk) 23:19, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination since 2006

Template:PD-Soviet has been nominated for speedy deletion on September 2006‎ but is still not deleted. How this can be fixed? Quick1984 (talk) 18:52, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This not a deletion request for the template. This is a template to show that files uploaded with this template in the past are to be speedy deleted. But it is of course a question if we need this for over ten years. GPSLeo (talk) 19:09, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a header at the top to prevent further confusion. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 17:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
