Hi Matr4x-404! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Vivaldi (web browser) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Thanks for the clarification! :)

Please be careful! This edit to List of Sony Cyber-shot cameras. It was just fixed by an anon. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 08:37, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't even notice I deleted that! ${\displaystyle M_{101}^{atr1x-}}$ {

Hello! Your edits on Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers that added the word "football" next to "soccer" have been reverted twice by DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered.

Hi Matr1x-101. You've recently been editing

@L235 Hi, I'm just turning URL links into permalinks, I don't think there's a problem with that, but correct me if I'm wrong. ${\displaystyle M_{101}^{atr1x-}}$ {

I have reverted your edit per the message L235 left you. Please cease making these sorts of edits without prior permission of the arbitration committee or one of its clerks. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 23:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

@Guerillero Hi, I don't understand the problem with minor edits like this. Could you please explain? Thanks! ${\displaystyle M_{101}^{atr1x-}}$ {

I mean, after all, Wikipedia isn't a beaurocracy. ${\displaystyle M_{101}^{atr1x-}}$ {

Those pages are meant to be an accurate reflection of the decision voted on by the Arbitration Committee. Every edit made to those pages is reported to dozens of editors (arbitrators and arbitration clerks). If the edit is important, it needs to be approved by the Committee. If not, it isn't worth making. These edits fall in the latter category. Best, KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 23:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I have declined the revdel request for Mohammed Berrada primarily because it looks like the material is likely derived from Wikipedia. But the request you made is also confusing. You flagged this for revdel, but there is no edit removing the copyright material, and the ranges you specify don't appear to correspond the introduction of copyrighted material for the starting revision nor its removal in the ending revision. Have I missed something? -- Whpq (talk) 14:25, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

@Whpq: the edit after the range does some copyediting and removes the (alleged) copyvio. But yeah, now that I look at [1], some of the suggestions at the bottom were published way after the alleged copyvio, so the source probably copied Wikipedia. My bad. — MATRIX!

Please revert as i have added summaries while clearing mumbai team page, similar of my long term indian sports edit pattern. At least if new user, should have proper understanding of english and reading, before destroying hard effort, i guess of topics you never heard about. Lastly, any next time similar thing is seen, no warning report will go. 93.140.98.107 (talk) 19:56, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

In response to your help request, I deleted the page, as that was the only way to get around without using revdel, and I can't undelete the actual file. Once you upload the image again, it should be possible to transfer the file to Commons. I'm just cross-posting here in case the file talk page gets deleted before you upload a new file (though I left a note saying not to delete it). ^Complex/_Rational 21:23, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Regarding your rev-del request at File:Mirza Ahmad Ispahani.jpg, non-free versions of images in the file history should be tagged with {{Orphaned non-free revisions}} rather than {{Copyvio-revdel}} which is meant for text copyrights. The easiest way to tag an image for non-free revisions is to use Twinkle. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 18:41, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

@Whpq: but isn't Template:Orphaned non-free revisions only for images explicitly tagged as non-free (i.e. those with a rationale and everything)? Indeed, Twinkle says "fair use media with old revisions that need to be deleted" on the side. So does the template documentation. This image was tagged as free, so I used Template:Copyvio-revdel. Besides, I see no indication that {{Copyvio-revdel}} is meant for articles only. Please bear with me if I'm missing sometimes painfully obvious! — MATRIX! (a good person!)^{[Citation not needed at all; thank you very much]} 20:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

The situation you came across is not very common, so maybe using either method is okay. Although the documentation states the orphan non-free revisions is for non-free, it would be usable for this case. As for copyvio-revdel, the whole template is set up to deal with text copyright violations. After looking this, I guess that using either template would be okay since this is on odd and unusual situation. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 13:43, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

As I stated on my talk page (for the same situation), according to

WP:NFC non-free includes fully-copyrighted images. We should use image tags for images and text tags for text. Primefac (talk

@Primefac: I don't know what you're saying. There are two types of images in the licensing sense: free and non-free. Non-free images are images with non-free rationales that should use Template:Orphaned non-free revisions to remove old revisions. That's not relevant.

Freely licensed images (of which there are at least

FFD for files. Template:Copyvio-revdel is not a tag for only text, it can be applied to text or images. Though in practice, Template:Orphaned non-free revisions is preferred for non-free files. Cheers, — MATRIX! (a good person!)_{[citation unneeded]}

If I'm being honest, this is not really something we should waste other editors' time with. But feel free to bring this up to VPT or some place like that if we can't come to some sort of consensus. Cheers, — MATRIX! (a good person!)_{[citation unneeded]} 13:36, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
