User talk:Worldlydev

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 16:47, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. If there has been a file at a name and it is now a redirect, we wouldn't typically free up that name. 1) because it is likely overly generic, 2) it deserves a descriptive name, 3) if the image is used out there on the web, then you are changing the context of its use. Now these may not all apply to your use case, we do need to have a set of operating guidelines, and I am not seeing a reason to delete the redirect.  — billinghurst sDrewth 07:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Billinghurst Hi. I moved the previous file specifically to free the name in order to harmonize the names of a set of maps. I am the original uploader of both files. The current name of the map is factually incorrect, while a quick Google image search seems to show that the logo isn't in use anywhere on the internet (all I see is the logo from the original website and a variant with white text). I don't see a big issue with the move. If anything I am not opposed to deleting the logo just to give the map the name I want. The map provides educational value in a way a logo doesn't.

We have clear guidance on file renaming, file redirects and speedy deletion and nowhere do I see that we move files out of the way to put in another, especially for what seems to be a more generic title. We have processes in place for speedy and normal deletions, and where one wants to operate outside of existing consensus, especially where you are expecting someone else to operate outside of the community guidance and convention.

This is not the place for the long explanation about file harmonisation, generic names, etc. What I would typically say is that you find the forum for the conversation, float it past people what you are planning to do, get a general level of agreement, and then when you put in a request for an admin to act that you reference the conversation. For an admin, acting outside of consensus without a clear picture is problematic and someone will see it and point at it and try to hang you by it at a moment of pique. And if it is a week, a month, a year afterwards, the admin typically cannot remember that administrative action against the many thousands of others they undertake.

In this space we have to operate to clear principles, otherwise there is confusion. While we each operate in our own portions of this behemoth, we need to do so with our eyes on the global view. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:18, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
