Out of scope: As a general rule, national flags should not be used to represent languages, as they unavoidably fail to represent minority languages, and are prone to invoking nationalist disputes. Using a single national flag (like that of Saudi Arabia, in this case) to represent the Arabic language is especially problematic, as the language doesn't have a well-defined country of origin.

deleting my files saying "Using a single national flag (like that of Saudi Arabia, in this case) to represent the Arabic language is especially problematic" is strange, What about combined flags like this one? . It's out there in WIKIMEDIA COMMONS and no one deleted it! Is it okay if I combine two flags and ignore all the other countries' flags that speak English like Canada just because I combined two of them? so 1 flag is bad. 2 is good. and 3 is not necessary? what logic is this?


My reasons for choosing the Saudi flag to represent the Arabic language:

  • Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Arabian Peninsula, which is the recognized homeland of Arabs.
  • The Saudi flag is already used as a symbol for Arabic in countless games, websites, movies, apps, books, etc., so everybody is familiar with it.
  • The other Arab countries have similar colors in their flags (red, white, black), which can be confusing, and it can be difficult to identify which country is which, and is it Arabian or not?. In contrast, Saudi Arabia has a simple and distinctive green flag. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ARABCREATOR7 (talk • contribs) 06:00, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]


my point is: if you gonna delete the files you need to delete this Combined flags too, or give a good explanation. ARABCREATOR7 (talk) 05:34, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delete Per the nominator. The Arabic language didn't originate in Saudi Arabia and it's not even in the top five countries where the language is spoken. That would go to Egypt, where there's like 4 times as many people who speak Arabic then there are in Saudi Arabia. I think Saudi Arabia is like six or seventh by population who speak the language. So you could just as easily argue it should be the flag of Morocco, Sudan, Algeria, Iraq, or again Egypt. There's nothing particularly special about Saudi Arabia here. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:33, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]


  • I'm not trying to be racist or offend anyone, but among Arabs, you can call someone 'Arab' if they come from Arab tribes and have Arab lineage. Most Arab tribes are found in the Arabian Peninsula, such as the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia, as well as in small parts of Iraq, Syria, and Jordan. The people in Egypt are Copts and do not have Arab lineage. We love them, but that's the reality; even they know it and agree with me.
    If a Chinese man speaks Arabic, that doesn't make him Arab. And if entire China (1.412 billion people) speaks Arabic, that makes them Arabic speakers, but it doesn't make them Arabs.
    Arabs are tribes, and you find them mostly in the Arabian Peninsula, What's is the biggest country in it? Saudi.
    Otherwise, you wouldn't see famous websites and major companies using the Saudi flag as a symbol for the language without reason, or you will be saying to the world "You all wrong, and i'm right".
    I swear to you that I am neither biased nor racist; I am simply trying to explain why the flags of Egypt or Iraq or Morocco are not used as symbols for the Arabic language. ARABCREATOR7 (talk) 05:23, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am simply trying to explain why the flags of Egypt or Iraq or Morocco are not used as symbols for the Arabic language. That's because there isn't a flag for the Arabic language in the first place. The only reason there's one in this case is because you created it. There's a reason why if I do a Google search for "flag of Arabic language" most of the results are for Commons or another website for user created flags though. Otherwise you get results like this one to Reddit where there's comments like "I've seen many people use different flags to represent the Arabic language" or "in Israel I saw Arabic represented by the Jordanian flag." This discussion on Quora about which flag represents the Arabic language. To quote from it "there is no flag for the Arabic language." Etc. Etc. The fact is that there is no "flag of the Arabic language" except ones created by users of Commons or similar websites for reason's that are pretty obvious. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:49, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TimedText: Sit-in Against Racial Injustice, Downtown Indianapolis (2020-06-06).webm.*.srt

[edit]

Koavf created 201 subtitles all containing identical content, the name Breonna Taylor thrice. No actual translation to other languages or transcription to non‑Latin scripts has been performed. (Well, the Spanish version uses ¡!, which is negligible.)

To preserve the revision history I have moved the “English” subtitles, the first language version from the entire set, to the multiple languages code now; presumably Koavf was not aware of this option. Since the {{closed captions}} template assigns bogus categories, creating the false impression any real translation was performed, I propose their deletion without redirect.

The pages nominated for deletion are, except the .mul. version, that cannot be omitted from the list (unless you really want to waste 19195 bytes to have it spelled out):

Also, is there a bot flagging the files? The mass deletion request guide does not mention any, but I’ll go insane manually adding {{delete}} to all 201 of them. ‑‑ Kays (T | C) 04:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kai Burghardt: Couldn't you just redirect them all to TimedText:Sit-in_Against_Racial_Injustice,_Downtown_Indianapolis_(2020-06-06).webm.mul.srt instead? Duckmather (talk) 23:54, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Duckmather: No,
  • as I wrote, a redirect will still categorize the file as having closed captions “in German” (etc.), which is kind of misleading,
  • with redirects installed you can still choose from 201 subtitle tracks in the media player, which by the way causes a fetch/list-delay that might last as long as the video clip itself, and
  • redirects create n ∶ 1 relationships en → mul, de → mul, etc., but in fact the actual semantics of the mul code are 1 ∶ n mul → en, mul → de, and so on as far as applicable – the other way round.

Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion. In some countries this photo would be ok per freedom-of-panorama, as the mosaic seems to be located ourdoors. Unfortunately, Italy has no freedom-of-panorama exception. Therefore, a permission by the artist is required or the image needs to be deleted. -- Túrelio (talk) 10:35, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused. No encyclopedic value - this is just Soviet/Russian child urban legend. Alex Spade (talk) 21:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But if it's an urban legend, it might be in scope?
I case someone is wondering, the text reads Гитлер (Hitler), Гимлер (Himmler), Гебельс (Goebbels), Геринг (Göring). The Russian language does not have the letter "H", therefore all four names start with the letter "G" in Cyrillic (Г). The Cyrillic Г looks like one "arm" of the Swastika, so four Гs form a Swastika, and Г happens to be the initial letter of the names of four important Nazi figures. Nakonana (talk) 01:43, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For encyclopedic value an urban legend must be described in reliable sources, there are not such sources for this legend. Alex Spade (talk) 04:30, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A poster from 1941 (author Dmitry Moor). So categorical (talk) 21:32, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good finding! But then discussing version is an original research, Moor used another artistic representation of the 4G legend. Alex Spade (talk) 08:18, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have found another one. Alex Spade (talk) 08:34, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But it means that the urban legend is wide spread and famous enough that it found its way into (state) propaganda, which would mean that it is in scope? It's even mentioned on some official websites, e.g. [1] (although in this case it's really just briefly mentioned). Nakonana (talk) 18:55, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Moor's poster circulation was limited, so the legend is not wide spread (compared with ru:Садистские_стишки for example). Anyway Sovdetsvastika is an original research, it is not based on Moor's representation. In other words, Moor's poster is suitable illustration for possible encyclopedic article about the 4G legend, but Sovdetsvastika is not. Alex Spade (talk) 06:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Original research (not to be confused with File:Soviet Swastika 2.svg). The swastika for kalmyk units was introduced in 1918-1919, the USSR was formed later. Alex Spade (talk) 22:09, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photos from NWS Galveston with unverifiable creator

[edit]

All four of these files are sourced to a National Weather Service website (Galveston regional office).

Such sites host a mixture of content created by the US federal government (public domain) and content created by businesses and private individuals (a wide variety of free and unfree licenses). We rely on the captions they were published with to tell us where photos originated. In particular, storm damage photos such as these often come from County Emergency Management Agencies, County Sheriffs, other state- or county-level agencies, and even from private citizens. Even more particularly, aerial damage photos are very often (even usually) not the work of the NWS but of those other agencies or the Civil Air Patrol.

Unfortunately, all these images are no longer hosted on the NWS website where they originated, and the citation we have for each of them points directly to the image itself instead of the page it was found on. Therefore, although we can verify that the file exists in the Internet Archive, we no longer have access to its copyright and licensing information.

Because such photos routinely originate outside the NWS, I reached out the to NWS office that published them to ask about their origin. They told me that they do not know who took these:

"There is probably no way we can identify each image you have mentioned. We did lose a lot of pictures/photos off our web page many years ago that we were not able to retrieve or recover.

I have forwarded this advice to the VRT (ticket:2024100410012611)

Because we cannot verify that any of these images are (or were ever) ever available under a free license, we must delete as a precaution unless the precise creator and evidence of permission can be found. If they are truly orphan images, they will enter the public domain 120 years after they were taken: 2122 for the Tropical Storm Allison photo; 2124 for the Hurricane Claudette images.

Thanks for this too. On this basis, I'm withdrawing File:Claudette Erosion.JPG from this DR. In its original context, there's no way this would have been suspected of being anything other than an NWS image. (Unlike the aerial photos) --Rlandmann (talk) 13:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: I was also able to source File:TS Allison Texas flooding.jpg to this now-offline webpage. The first page of photos indicates they are from the Harris County Office of Emergency Management and therefore not automatically in public domain. @Rlandmann: hope this is the information you're looking for. Ixfd64 (talk) 20:48, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the lead! Actually, the Harris OEM photos all seem to be watermarked as such. This particular photo has its own page here: https://web.archive.org/web/20020103151615/http://www.srh.noaa.gov/hgx/projects/allison01/pictures/hazard59_4.htm where it is specifically attributed "Photo Origin: Unknown"
So yeah, the origins and ownership of this one are still unknowable and unverifiable. It's also a nice example of why we shouldn't just assume damage photos were taken by the NWS... --Rlandmann (talk) 13:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
