W?F	This Wikimedian opposes rebranding the WMF as Wikipedia.

This user opposes the Wikimedia Foundation's arbitrary, opaque, and dictatorial office-banning of administrators when the community and ArbCom are more than capable of handling the issue themselves.

I don't know what you think about zhihu.com, but it is a website similar to wiki or Q&A. I personally don't think this type of website is reliable.Although zhihu.com seems to have added other features, I can be sure that https://www.zhihu.com/question/19734059 you restored is a Q&A page. The /question/ has been marked in the URL. Rastinition (talk) 16:34, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Rastinition, I don't understand Chinese and can't navigate the site very well. Zhihu was the only one I couldn't quickly figure out. What mostly matters there is who answered the question. If it's just answered by a random person (like Quora most of the time), you were right in removing it. If it was answered by a developer who worked on the font or with a relation to those who did, it could be useful. If you believe it was answered by someone with no relation to the font developers I have no objection to the removal of the zhihu.com link. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 16:58, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. I kind of hate to be difficult here, but the more I dig, the worse it gets. Hell, I just remembered that I have CC-licensed some of my work in the past... and then found this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Spotsylvania_Court_House#/media/File:Battle_of_Spottsylvania_by_Thure_de_Thulstrup.jpg

Compare MediaViewer's read of the copyright status and attribution of that with File:Battle_of_Spottsylvania_by_Thure_de_Thulstrup.jpg.

I don't want to make a huge fuss over this, and, honestly, I'm half inclined to relicense that to a simple Attribution, since I think CC-by is honestly a bit more strict than I'd like. But I spent literal weeks on that, and Britain gives out copyright like candy, and that's just... blatant.

I'm happy to wait, but it's been 8 years at this point, and I'm kind of losing hope. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.5% of all FPs} 18:26, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden, thanks. I won't lead you on, either I'm unable to fix it and will inform you of that soon (bug me if I forget!) or there will be a proposal fairly soon. (think weeks, not years) My question I asked on phab:T68606 still stands though: if you use a pipe symbol or {{!}} instead of a new line, what happens? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 19:38, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I tried this with File:Esther_Bubley_-_An_instructor_of_the_Capitol_Transit_Company_teaching_a_woman_to_operate_a_one-man_streetcar.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_women_in_World_War_II#/media/File:Esther_Bubley_-_An_instructor_of_the_Capitol_Transit_Company_teaching_a_woman_to_operate_a_one-man_streetcar.jpg - I'm not seeing any change in behaviour, but feel free to use that for testing. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.5% of all FPs} 20:15, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden, I see. On File:Mathew B. Brady - William Sidney Mount.jpg the restoration had it's own bullet point, on Esther Bubley it doesn't, so newline or not makes no difference for MediaViewer. I figured maybe MV was simply chopping off everything after the first line, I actually can't rule out yet whether or not it does, but it's not that simple. Leave it like this anyway, variations are always useful for testing. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:43, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_O%27Conor_(American_politician)#/media/File%3ACharles_OConor_-_Brady-Handy.jpg might be a good test case as well. A simple two-creator file. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.5% of all FPs} 23:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden, here's a.. proof of concept? User:Alexis Jazz/MVattrib. Let me know what you think. Takes a moment to load because it just waits for a second before doing anything as otherwise the elements don't exist yet. (this can be much improved, it's a proof of concept) This isn't exactly the optimal solution, but the only thing Wikimedia/MediaWiki developers are really interested in is structured data. Unfortunately they cocked up the implementation, resulting in massive duplication of license information. I'm not sure if it's even possible yet to transclude information from structured data in wikitext (I've given up hope a long time ago so I don't keep track), but right now anyway the license information in wikitext is leading. Being license compliant should be top priority for them, but, sigh, what did I expect.
One thing though: I'm not sure I'll be comfortable creating a proposal. I've been shat on sufficiently for this month and probably the next as well. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 10:20, 23 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden, in case it wasn't clear, the shitting is entirely unrelated to you. It's just stuff that happens and it drains my energy. You don't need me to create a proposal anyway. Any comment on the script? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 04:09, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Afraid I've not had a chance yet - been a funny two days - but I will ASAP. I hope things improve. Commons can be...odd. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.5% of all FPs} 16:17, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden, no need to self-censor for me. A Commons admin accused me of making death threats, which they fabricated. I doubt you can surprise me. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 23:53, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Been barely functional due to sleep issues. Kinda prone to it. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.5% of all FPs} 01:10, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adam Cuerden, I can relate. Also, I added a screenshot to User:Alexis Jazz/MVattrib. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 01:03, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It looks pretty decent, now that I've checked. Probably could figure out what we could leave out or keep in from there, but it's hardly the "Unfunctional mess" that was being claimed. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.6% of all FPs} 04:14, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this, it should be OK – I follow the instructions in the comment that includes the text RESETTING. In other words, only the status table starting after the commented section is reset after publication. Sometimes another editor does the reset, and they should be following the same instructions. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:43, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Bri, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom (diff 1041810600)? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 18:53, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're right. It looks like we had some reset issues in 2H2021, maybe due to rotation of publication managers. Not sure why I did it that way anymore. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:00, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jazz, in instances like this, please address the requestor, not me. Thanx, - FlightTime (open channel) 23:33, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• FlightTime, I addressed both, but as a file mover, you're supposed to check requests for validity. It's okay you missed one, happens to the best of us, but I figure you'd want to know if/when you miss one, don't you? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 00:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
