A discussion page for photography-newbies/wannabe-contributors?[edit]
Hi Jeff G.,
I am looking for a discussion forum for users who are new to photography, kind of like a reference page. Does Commons have such a page? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 19:09, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Ottawahitech: No, sorry. Please read COM:NOTSOCIAL again. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 22:41, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Why are you sending me to read nonsocial? I not interested in "chat with your friends, create personal profile", etc. I am afraid you are making some unwarranted assumptions about me.
- What I said above was that I was looking for a place on commons where users who are new to photography can ask newbie type questions, a reference desk. I am assuming that commons is interested in gaining more contributors who have something to offer the wiki-movement at large. No?
- While I am at it, I would like to inform you that I personally know some very talented photographers who would not touch Commons with a ten foot pole... and now that I have taken out my frustration (you are just part of it), you can go ahead and delete this message and erase the words that I spent valuable time composing,.

- @Ottawahitech: Sorry, I read your block logs on en and meta wikis. You may ask questions at COM:HD or discuss Commons-related matters at COM:VP. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 16:35, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Just a relieved comment[edit]
As I am often struggling with some tools or gadgets I was relieved to see at the discussion about good images at the help desk that for once a tool didn't for someone else (you) but it works for me. The tool that doesn't work for me is the image annotator so if I edit with that one, or want to see some image annotations I change accounts. Maybe an option for you too if you want to track quality images? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:01, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Paradise Chronicle: Maybe. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 01:41, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
About my upload[edit]
User talk:Jeff G. I am nelson, I just want to apologize actually, because I had little to no experience in uploading free images or images I took with my phone, and so far I only uploaded photographs copyrighted, including police mugshots of criminals (I am more of a crime writer type in Wikipedia despite giving wiki updates of kpop from time to time). Pardon if I made a shortcoming and left an undesirable mark in my record for uploading my first image which I taken with a phone on wikimedia commons NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 05:25, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @NelsonLee20042020: I accept your apology, but please don't let it happen again. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:13, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, Jeff G. If in the future, i want to upload a free image on wikimedia common, maybe I can seek your advice? NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 02:28, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @NelsonLee20042020: You can, or post to COM:VPC. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:28, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

File:Lanka Bandaranayake.jpg[edit]
Hi Jeff G. Would you mind taking a look at File:Lanka Bandaranayake.jpg and its license. There's no EXIF data provided, and it also seems fairly small and of low quality. It doesn't seem to be being used anywhere online, but it looks more like a scan than a photo. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:34, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Kenne3te: Why is this photo so small, of such low quality, and lacking metadata? Where did you get it? Can you upload the original per COM:HR? — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:33, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Again Jeff G. User:Kenne3te doesn't have any global contributions after June 2012, and only made six edits prior to that (two on Commons and four on Sinhala Wikipedia). I figured they were gone for good and is why I didn't post anything about this on their Commons user talk page. Sorry for not making that clear in my OP. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:47, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: It appears to be the second best we've got, and it's in use on enwiki. Nevertheless, please see Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Kenne3te. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:27, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello Jeff, wondering if you could take a look at these contributions of a blocked user. Might be out of scope, or a link to Category:Partij voor Naastenliefde, Vrijheid en Diversiteit. I wouldn't know where to start. Thank you so much for your time. Lotje (talk) 10:49, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Lotje: I tagged both files as violating COM:CSD#F10 and warned the uploader. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:24, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
