How we will see unregistered users
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hi! Is there any useful info at the now deleted file? --MGA73 (talk) 15:49, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- @MGA73: uploaded by User:Mr.ちゅらさん with text claiming the source is "Japanese edition" and "photography person Lusheeta" who I presume is ja:利用者:Lusheeta. I presume the admin uploaded a file somewhere and it got renamed. That's all I can see. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 19:18, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
I accidentally uploaded it to commons as "Sausage Tree in Botswana.jpg", rather than "Sausage Tree in Botswana.JPG". I did it the long way because I could not work out how to operate that bot, or how to at least give it the message that the image has been evaluated and deemed fit for upload to commons. If you have any advice I would be very interested. JMK (talk) 16:45, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- @JMK: I've copied the file over. In the future, please do not copy a file over manually, as it destroys the file history. Please use a tool like FileImporter or CommonsHelper. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 19:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks I get it. Now I know. JMK (talk) 22:15, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
I was cleaning up articles with broken links to upload.wikimedia.org and noticed that the oldest version of File:Plaque stonework ainslie church ACT.jpg (uploaded at 03:36, 6 September 2005) appears to have been lost when the file was moved to Commons. If that is indeed the case, would you mind restoring it and properly moving it to Commons? * Pppery * it has begun... 04:11, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Pppery: this is a completely different image of a different sign. I think it was uploaded in error. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 03:02, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- Shouldn't that other image then be moved to Commons under a different file name? I don't see why it being uploaded in error is relevant. The context for this is that there is a broken link to that version of the image at All Saints Church, Canberra (the first reference), which I've been trying to track down and fix. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:14, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Pppery: the second image was uploaded over the first exactly 3 minutes later. There is no way that it was ever linked. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 21:51, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- You misunderstood me; there is a link to https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/archive/b/b1/20050906033915%21Plaque_stonework_ainslie_church_ACT.jpg on that article (added in 2006). Before you deleted the local copy of the file, that link worked, and pointed to the image in question. Now, that link is dead. I thought F8 deletions weren't allowed to cause permanently broken links. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:07, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Pppery: deleting the local link will *always* break the direct link because direct links weren't made to work that way. The uploader should have created a second version of the image if it was meant to be used. I will restore this properly under a different name tonight when I get a chance.

Congressional districts with county boundries
Dear Magog the Ogre,
I noticed that you've made quite a few county maps of congressional district results which inluded counties that are split, if you could direct me to the reference maps used to model those county splits I would appreciate it. Basically if you know of a congressional district county map including splits that would be very helpful Gordfather69 (talk) 07:41, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Recreation of hoax draft?
Would you have a look at Draft:Movimento Independente pelos Jovens Audazes and see if it's a recreation of the stuff you deleted (for hoax reasons) back in September? It was recreated 3 days after you deleted it, by a then brand new editor (whose first edit was to claim COI for the draft, and then second edit to start a draft of the same name). And this smells funny to me. Zinnober9 (talk) 21:48, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi! File:SJMSOM (Small).jpg does not have a very clear source. I wonder if it is the same file as File:SJMSOM.jpg and if there is any indication that the uploads are own work (user only uploaded 6 files in total). File is used on both enwiki and on mr.wiki as mr:चित्र:SJMSOM.jpg. MGA73 (talk) 18:10, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
- @MGA73: it is. It was uploaded with nothing but a GFDL tag and no indication of authorship. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:17, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Okay thank you. But if someone upload 2 versions and license the one of them I guess it would apply to both? But since there is no good source/author it does not help. MGA73 (talk) 15:30, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi! These 2 were deleted as low res and no use. They are used in ms.wiki (ms:File:Seremban7.jpg and ms:File:Seremban5.jpg). Perhaps you could check if they are the same and are okay for Commons?

The page Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Farhan Rana Rajpoot Artist has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category had been empty for seven days or more and was not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may have become empty on occasion.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

- Done first three. The last one is sourced to a third party site which had a prominent copyright notice. It was deleted twice, after which the Bg007 reuploaded without any attribution and a fraudulent GFDL tag. In contradiction with the GFDL tag, it incorrectly states that an old coat of arms can't contain copyright, which is wrong anyhow based on who drew it per c:COM:COA.

- And if File:Burnham bust.gif is the same as ka:ფაილი:Burnham bust.gif is it not PD because it must be before 1912? --MGA73 (talk) 17:25, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- @MGA73: yes to all three.
- The first was the same but uploaded on tl.wiki first. You should be fine to transfer to Commons.
- The second fell victim to someone who overwrote it. The original was uploaded to en.wiki at the same time as tl.wiki. You should be fine to transfer.
- The third was unsourced. Now that we have Reverse Image search, I found a much higher resolution sourced version here. I'd recommend uploading the higher resolution version. This is almost certainly {{PD-1923}} or {{PD-US-unpublished}}.

Hi! I was checking a file on Wikinews n:File:2005 0924 150519veesign.JPG that is also located on Commons c:File:2005 0924 150519veesign.jpg. But the file on Commons links to this deleted page. Does the original file on Wikipedia also mention a permission? --MGA73 (talk) 10:15, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- @MGA73: The original did not have a source, but the same uploader did clarify he is the author after it was uploaded to Commons (link). Magog the Ogre (t • c) 02:41, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi! The original upload log on this and File:Fender Stratocaster tremolo bridge.jpg is messed up. it says {{Original upload log section|w|en|Fender Stratocaster tremolo bridge.jpg|GFDL,cc-by-sa-3.0 suggesting that the file was also licensed cc-by-sa-3.0. Perhaps you can check? MGA73 (talk) 17:23, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
- I fixed it. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 22:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I wonder if this file is the same as eo:File:Bollywood.jpg. MGA73 (talk) 16:19, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- @MGA73: it is not. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:02, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Technically it may have been the same, but I can't see it anymore (lost by the software), and it was uploaded in 2006 (after the eo.wp image). Magog the Ogre (t • c) 23:06, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- Aha okay. Thanks a lot. --MGA73 (talk) 05:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to participate in a research
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,

Commons
Hello @User:Magog_the_Ogre, I have been blocked on Wikimedia Commons since 2016 due to uploading a photo file after receiving a warning. This happened almost a decade ago when I was new to the encyclopedia. Since then, I have tried several times to contact you who blocked me, but I don’t have the rights to post anything you Commons talk page because I’ve been completely blocked since 2016. Could you kindly guide me on the steps to request an unblock? Thank you in advance for your help. A.Nawfel (talk) 17:48, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
