Rollback additions of thousands of uncategorized images to Category:History

Hello. I've already asked on Commons:Bots/Work requests but am not getting any response. I'm also not a rollbacker so can't do this myself.

On 31 May 2014, @Mitte27: added thousands of images to Category:History, presumably to remove their uncategorized status. Example: Revision #880487992. Since then they have mostly remained untouched in this category. This is undesirable since these images appear to be categorized now, but they're really not. Would it be possible to rollback their changes? Thanks. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 17:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On the bot request page I have asked them when they plan to sub-categorise. If there is no satisfactory response, we can initiate a community discussion at VP or here. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 18:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to be consensus on the Commons:Bots/Work requests page for a revert, however nobody has volunteered to do it. Could somebody do the mass revert? Or I could do it myself if I was awarded the rollback privilege. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 15:39, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting closure of copyleft trolling discussion

I'd like to request formal closure of Commons:Village pump/Proposals#Prohibit copyleft trolling by an uninvolved admin. What are the salient points of the discussion and what is there consensus to move forward with? Thank you. Nosferattus (talk) 17:50, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spam filter

Is there any chance we could add https://isaiahogedegbe.wordpress.com to the local spam blacklist? Every image from that site has been a copyvio Trade (talk) 12:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo,

wir möchten vorschlagen, das Firmenlogo im Artikel Werder Feinkost zu aktualisieren. Das aktuelle Logo entspricht nicht mehr dem offiziellen Firmenlogo. Das neue Logo wurde bereits auf Wikimedia Commons hochgeladen. Das neue Logo ist das offizielle Logo der Firma und wird auf unserer Website und in allen Marketingmaterialien verwendet. Könnte bitte ein Administrator den Schreibschutz aufheben oder das Logo direkt im Artikel aktualisieren?


Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis

Can I ask someone else to speedy-close Commons:Deletion requests/File:Abi Carter.jpg as "kept"? I had some "smells fishy" concerns about the file, but I believe my concerns have been addressed and I'd like to withdraw my nomination for deletion. - Jmabel ! talk 03:02, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
