A clarification

I've only gotten one image I uploaded deleted: An AI-generated image, which I didn't realize came from the UK, a country which unfortunately decided to give 50-year copyrights to AI-generated images. Only Hong Kong also did that regrettable move. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 01:20, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

Move requests under criterion 4.

Hello @Candidyeoman55

Please do not submit move requests under criterion 4, as requests such as File:Logotipo do Partido Social Liberal.png are not intended for this purpose. Please read the side note Commons:File renaming#cite note-4. If there is indeed something to improve, such as the addition of years in this case because the logo is old and outdated, then use criterion 3 instead. It would also be helpful if you got into the habit of using the correct en:En Dash instead of a minus sign when correcting years or when years are included. Best regards, זיו「Ziv」 • For love letters and other notes 04:43, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

When I saw this, I thought the moves had been refused. They were accepted though.

Also, on other notes: One thing I regret is tagging this file as a duplicate of this other file. Although these two have the same star arrangement, the former has slightly smaller stars than the latter. Someone else - not me - made the first link a redirect to the second and you reverted them and my edit, also protecting the page, first to template editors and administrators, then to autopatrolers. These levels of protection are higher, for example, than the protection level of the current American flag here on Commons (established registered users). For context, even the flag of Israel (a file which I think may be a target for vandalism), also has the established registered users protection level.

Maybe reconsider the protection level of this file, I don't think indefinite severe protection is appropriate. What I did was an edit I regret making. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 10:14, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

By the way, I think confusion between the minus and the dash is very common. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 10:15, 4 February 2026 (UTC)

@Candidyeoman55: thank you for your answer.

Just my two cents: If an administrator (that's me) rejects your duplicate request because it's not a duplicate, it's the wrong approach to immediately tag the file as a duplicate again, just to see if the next administrator decides differently. An administrative decision should be accepted first time, and if you don't know who is an admin on Commons, then activate the gadget MarkAdmins (scroll down to MarkAdmins). The correct way would have been to submit a regular deletion request, explaining precisely why you believe the file is unnecessary and should therefore be converted into a redirect. And while we're on the subject, if it were a true duplicate, then in this case, to be fair, we would have to convert Flag of the United States (51 stars).svg into a redirect, because that page was created on April 26, 2006, while US 51 Star possible Flag.svg was created on February 26, 2006. Note that in the case of a exact duplicate, we always keep the older, first upload, but that's not the point here. The two files are not identical, and that's why their coexistence hasn't been questioned for almost 20 years.

Regarding the other point concerning the renaming of flags, logos, etc., under Criterion 4. The fact that the requests from file movers are accepted does not make them any more correct. Once again: Just because images share a category does not mean that they are part of a set. There are two scenarios that this criterion is designed for. First, certain complex templates (such as those that use BSicons or that display football kits) assume that the images used in them will follow a specific naming convention. Wikisource also uses a specific naming convention for the source files they transcribe. Second, files that form parts of a whole (such as scans from the same book or large images that are divided into smaller portions due to Commons’ upload size restriction) should follow the same naming convention so that they appear together, in order, in categories and lists. And that is precisely why they are wrong. They are only accepted if the suggestion actually represents an improvement, or if the filename contains incorrect data, but it is assumed that the applicant selected the wrong criterion anyway. And for precisely this reason, I am advising you not to submit your requests under this criterion in the future. And regarding the Dash issue. Yes, you are right, the confusion between the minus and the dash is very common, but that doesn't make its use any more correct, and if you want something corrected, then please do it properly.

logos

• your raster
• my vectorization
• source

Hello, you upload many logos to Commons.

Please make sure they are correct and come from a reliable source, preferably from the creator or owner of the logo.

Please take a look at the logo mentioned above and compare it with the logo I provided in the SVG as the source on the file description page.

And please try to categorize the logos appropriately — if they are only categorized under “Logos,” they are quite orphaned. thx --Mrmw (talk) 16:52, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Maybe I asked too many at a time. Many times I visit the official page, and there's no SVG version of the logo there. I then search the web for an SVG version, and I visually check if they're a faithful reproduction. For this one (CONCACAF Central American Cup), luckily it's accurate. Sometimes (less over time as I learn), I make mistakes. Anyway, this vectorization was a good job. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 17:06, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Maybe the next vectorizations would be these:

• Fortaleza
• Ponte Preta

I couldn't find them SVG on the internet, let alone on the official website. For context, these are two Brazilian football clubs. I listed them on that page. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 17:10, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
