The three active Checkusers nominate Lymantria for the position of Checkuser.

We believe that they are highly qualified and well trusted and will be an excellent addition to the team as well as adding languages we do not have.

Lymantria became a Commons Administrator in 2011, with 29 positive votes of 30. They have 133,000 edits on Commons and 19,000 deletions. They are also very active on Wikidata, where they are an Admin, Bureaucrat, and Checkuser and have made almost two million edits.

Good day everyone

I thought about how I could contribute more here and I've decided to run for administrator.

About me: I'm from Switzerland, already over 50 years old, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2008. My main account is on the German Wikipedia, but since November of last year, I've been primarily active on Commons. Since December, I've been a file mover, having already moved over 11,000 files. My specialty is renaming coats of arms from German-speaking countries, as well as renaming files with meaningless names. I don't shy away from manually editing in all language versions, even if I can't read the language. However, I can converse fluently with anyone in German and Swiss German, and I have knowledge of English, Italian, French, and Hebrew.

I'm active almost every day, and I'm also good at finding copyvios; occasionally, I even submit deletion requests.

This is the first time I've applied for such a position at Wikipedia. Because of my calm and matter-of-fact manner, I've been approached before to become an administrator on the German-language Wikipedia. However, I wasn't particularly interested at the time and didn't know exactly how I could contribute as an administrator to the German-language Wikipedia.

Here at Commons, however, I do see potential where I could contribute.

Where I could certainly help as an admin and where a backlog I can often see:

• Processing open deletion requests
• Processing speedy deletion requests

I'll leave any further areas of activity open for now, as I probably need to find my way around first.

Whether the Commons community will place its trust in me remains to be seen now. Of course, it could also be that many of you don't know me that well yet and I still have to prove myself a bit more. But I hope I'm worthy of becoming an administrator.

Thanks to everyone who voted, even if your vote was negative. It shows me that you're taking notice and have gotten to know me a little better.

Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 12:13, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Little clarification about adding structured data: the bot will not randomly sort through the metadata of all files, but will process files from ready-made lists received via the SQL-request (from Quarry for example). Test run: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

What is that useful for? Is there any community consensus that this should be done a large scale? --Krd 13:36, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi! I definitely know of at least one practical use for captured with added statements — the ability to search for examples of photos from various cameras, smartphones, camera lenses, scanners etc. This may not be a native user-friendly search functionality yet, but it's already working to some extent. The ability to make such requests useful, for example, when comparing devices before purchase. Some photohosting sites, such as Flickr, have similar functionality. And as my first step, I would like to contribute to filling the Wikimedia Commons with such information.

Answering your second question, I assumed that bots already exist that, among other things, perform the function of adding statements from EXIF metadata (for example), and if I understand correctly, there is a consensus on adding structured data by bots. The original idea was to create and fill categories, but I abandoned it in favor of structured data, based on the discussion of the BotAdventures discussion, where structured data is also given priority in this case. I would also add that the main difference between my bot and others will be the manual compilation of file lists according to something like this flow — I add a new device on Wikidata or add information about the Camera Model, create an SQL query and run the bot based on it. Borealex (talk) 20:24, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

I think structured data shall be set by bot only if they are useful, and I'm not convinced that it is relevant in more that a few dozen cases which camera a photo has been taken with. I think there should be specific community consensus before this can be approved to be applied to all files. Krd 07:13, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

Got it. Could you tell me please where would it be more relevant and appropriate to discuss this? Structured data Discussion page or Village pump? Borealex (talk) 18:23, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure, perhaps chose one of it and leave a link to it on the other? Krd 05:03, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

• Please make test run. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:40, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

  @EugeneZelenko: I already ran a few edits on the bot account, and the idea, at least initially, is to do pretty much what I've been doing in my main account, so feel free to take a look at my last few hundred contributions as well. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 16:35, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

• How many users are actually workung on manually checking {{GPS EXIF}}? How many cases have you seen where this was processed within a week? If nobody does it, the intermediate step would be just a waste of ressources? --Krd 07:09, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

  @Krd: I initially added location tags directly from EXIF, but this led to friction a few times. Either because other users thought a given photo belonged in Category:Location not applicable or because they knew the location information in EXIF was wrong. Users would sometimes remove the added location tag, but SchlurcherBot will sometimes have added that location to SDC, and not all users will correct that or remove it. So I changed the contents of {{GPS EXIF}} to invite watchers to indicate if one of those two situations applies, and that can be done before location is added. Since I switched to this two-step process, I've been following tagged photos and I'd say that on maybe 0.5% of them, watchers will either add a location tag, "Location not applicable" or "Ambiguous location in EXIF" tags. This is in addition to me (and whoever else wants to) manually checking Category:Media with GPS EXIF before running the script to add location to those. I feel like this is a good balance between prudence and efficiency, but I'm happy to make adjustments. Rkieferbaum (talk) 14:14, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

  • Well, something went wrong with the SUL; I already have a bot account at NLwiki. I have finished what you asked. Wikiwerner (talk) 15:47, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
• Putting aside my view that this entire category redirect effort is a waste of time and resources, I’ll point out that for many heritage sites, no dedicated Commons category exists yet, and their images end up in broader categories like 'Cultural heritage in XXXX' (e.g. WLM/1040042000 - d:Q106547672, WLM/1040039000 - d:Q106547578, and another 43 elements in property P373 refer to Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Kondopozhsky District). How meaningful will the redirects generated by your bot be?
  Example wikidata query: https://w.wiki/DsUv Olksolo (talk) 17:36, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Given that Category:WLM/104003900 does not exist, it will not be redirected to anything. That said, neither that monument's item nor the other 43 items should be linked to a single category. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:42, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

    You made a typo in the category name. However, it doesn't matter, you can find any number of more suitable examples among 38,000+ at that link. And the problem is that Wikiwerner's script does not implement this feature as you described. Olksolo (talk) 07:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

    Given that existing categories take the form of Category:WLM/1010021052 what else would you call the category for WLM/104003900, in the same series? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:04, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

• Why just not move files from WML categories to real ones? I don't think that redirects are needed. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:09, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

  The WLM/xxxx categories exist primarily to enable quick generation of photo 'galleries' for cultural heritage objects — a feature particularly useful for custom JS scripts. These categories are automatically added via the {{Cultural Heritage Russia}} template, meaning files can be removed simply by updating the template.
  As I understand it, the original design did not anticipate manual category creation (many remain redlinks). The assumption was that file lists could be fetched via the MediaWiki API. While not an elegant solution, it works.
  Unfortunately, these categories attract well-meaning enthusiasts who create them manually (even when redlinks suffice) and attempt to 'improve' them — for instance, by adding navbars (Template talk:Cultural Heritage Russia#Navigation_bar) — even if marked as technical or hidden.
  The ideal solution would be storing object numbers in Structured Data on Commons (SDC), allowing galleries to be dynamically generated from this metadata. The first step (adding numbers) is straightforward, but the retrieval mechanism remains unclear. If implemented, WLM/xxxx categories would become obsolete.
  Given this potential future improvement, I fail to see the urgency of the current redirect efforts. Olksolo (talk) 16:39, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

  Why Wikidata could not be used for same purpose? Cultural monuments should have both categories and identifiers. EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:49, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

  Please, explain your idea, I didn't catch it... Olksolo (talk) 19:08, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

  depicts statement provides Wikidata item, Wikidata item - both cultural monument ID and Commons category name (in plain English). Shouldn't these be enough for generating whatever gallery pages? EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:10, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

  Could you please provide an example of how to generate a gallery page for images depicting e.g. d:Q125067097?

  Another problem is that although cultural monuments SHOULD have categories and WD-items, they mostly still DO NOT have either. Meaningful category names for these monuments cannot be generated automatically — they require manual curation. Today we have over 224000 monuments in our database, but only 75410 have a WD item, and just 51612 have any category assigned. Few years ago, I started exporting data to Wikidata, but there are many obstacles in this process. We still cannot consider our data consistent, thus my bot exports not the entire bulk of data but small portions that volunteers deem reliable. Nevertheless this slow, careful approach still leads to backlash, making the whole effort seem pointless. Olksolo (talk) 19:17, 25 April 2025 (UTC)

  So we need another bot that adds the WLM id tot the structured data? Wikiwerner (talk) 17:20, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

  Why is the Landesarchiv copyright holder of File:Mayer, Maximilian - LABW - Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart M 707 Nr. 1001 -1.jpg, and why isn't this documented in the file page? Krd 17:41, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

  Pinging @TheImaCow for further details into the project -- DaxServer (talk) 18:00, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

  Per the Terms of Use (March 2025, section "Nutzungsbedingungen Online-Katalog"), all digitized archive material which is available online is either a) public domain, b) except from copyright protection as government work, or c) still protected by copyright. Where it is still protected by copyright, the archive has acquired the necessary rights to distribute it under CC-BY licence. The exact status of individual objects is generally not available, so we use CC-BY everywhere. It can be manually changed to public domain later, when applicable.

  A link to these terms of use is at the top in the "Licencing" template. Maybe the template could be improved so that this link is more prominently visible.

  Many collections where copyright matters state explicitly that objects where the copyright has not been transferred to the archive are not available digitally (e.g. here, bottom 4 paragraphs)

  The very recently updated/current version of the Terms of Use states these three categories +"in rare cases" permission is required for reuse. However, this update is from April 2025, we started this project in August last year, so more recently digitized material where such permission would potentially be required is not included in the upload. ~TheImaCow (talk) 19:33, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

  In the example I mentioned above, File:Mayer, Maximilian - LABW - Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart M 707 Nr. 1001 -1.jpg, the image is clearly marked as "copyright undetermined" at the source. Please elaborate. Krd 07:49, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

  Copyright Undetermined: Eine Weiterverwendung ist im Einzelfall zu prüfen. Es handelt sich um Archivgut, dessen Bestandteile rechtlich unterschiedlich sind.

Aufgrund dennoch ggf. noch bestehender Rechte Dritter ist eine Weiterverwendung im Einzelfall zu prüfen.

• Meaning most files with this tag should be free, but there can be exceptions. To be sure, I checked the collections selected for upload and found these ones where "Copyright undetermined" is used. Rest is marked PD or CC.

  To be sure, we can leave them out from the upload.

  In some cases, like File:Photograph from Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg PL 4-81 Nr 100 Bestand-24468 permalink 2-2951655-1.jpg, there is no marking of a specific license, I suppose it would be the default CC-BY license.

@CptViraj Seems like for some reason here on Commons, when a user is linked in bot edits' descriptions that user gets pinged -- a behaviour that doesn't happen on ru/uk/bewiki or WD...

Edits adding speedy deletion tags should generally not be marked as bot, as they should not be hidden from watchlists. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 19:06, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Currently bot doesn't mark its edits as bot at all, so this shouldn't be a concern. Well very well (talk) 15:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

I have some concerns. The test edits that have been made are mostly speedy deletion nominations, which is outside of the bot task you have described, especially since the majority of the files were tagged for copyright reasons, not vandalism. Please revise the request to accurately describe what the bot is designed for and capable of doing. Additionally, the bot does not notify page creators of the speedy deletion tags. More broadly, this bot task appears to mostly have the effect of removing rollbacks and speedy deletion tags from a user's contributions & deleted contributions, where they can be easily monitored by administrators. This is important both to deal with bad reviewing and to be able to establish a history of accurate copyright tagging when applying for advanced rights. And while rollback-like tools like SWViewer and Twinkle make the Commons rollback right less important than it might have been in the past, this bot gives administrators no control over who may be using it.

Well, you can use tool for searching through user's descriptions — for that reason the bot always includes the type of action (RfD/rollback/undo) and user who did it in its edit description.
