Bot-tagging unreviewed Commons images

We often run into cases where well-meaning editors add images to articles without realising that there's a review process. I wonder if it'd be possible to auto-tag images that (1) are placed in palaeo-related categories and (2) haven't appeared on a review page before? FunkMonk, is there precedent for this or would that be considered administrative overreach? Lythronaxargestes (talk | contribs) 23:46, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen something like that before (except the bot that notifies article talk pages about DRs), and while the general idea sounds interesting, it would no doubt also tag the kinds of images we usually don't review, such as images from papers and fossils, so it create a lot of false alarms.

Size Chart for the Ergilin Dzo formation fauna?

Could anyone here do a size chart for the fauna of the Ergilin Dzo Formation? it would be REALLY helpful and informative. 161.38.238.45 (talk) 05:52, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's so much apparent coordination

I've boldly EC protected this page for two weeks. This will keep out most low edit-count lurkers. If an EC wants to tangle in this, otoh, I'm happy to see them self-identify. BusterD (talk) 14:27, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this relating to the Triistodon situation? Gasmasque (talk) 16:53, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I suspect that Palaeoaficionado/Toosey is asking people associated with the University of Edinburgh or the broader British paleontology academic community for assistance, which is why we're seeing this suspicious activity. Hemiauchenia (talk) 17:43, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just so it's off everybody's plate (and before I remove ec protection) would someone mind manually archiving that particular discussion? BusterD (talk) 15:01, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have chosen to manually archive the thread under discussion and relax the protection. There's no reason for anyone to jump in on anyone's behalf (unless they want to mess with an archive). Everything is in edit summary. Thanks wikipedians for helping to keep the peace. Please notify me if another disruption occurs. We can let this thread archive automatically.

Hello. It seems that this page got EC protected for a while? Thereby if I may, I am requesting to add my paleoart to be reviewed. My user name is Daeng Dino and while I still have low edit count, I always ask for review first before uploading... Thank you in advance and please inform me if I have done a misconduct in the past

You weren't the problem, some other person went and had to ruin things for everyone else by doing plagiarism/copyvio and then having a hissy fit. SilverTiger12 (talk) 05:57, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see.. I am glad if I haven't conduct any major transgression to wikipedia community..Thank you DD (talk) 12:54, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry it's interrupting your work, User:Daeng Dino. The protection is temporary, and we appreciate your efforts here to do the right thing. BusterD (talk) 12:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is fine! It is understandable after I read the thread before. And yes it is only temporary so I can wait.. Thank you for the reply and appreciation.. DD (talk) 12:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nah you are good, the issue was some pretty nasty copyvio/blatant plagiarism that occurred around a week ago. Fossiladder13 (talk) 18:52, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see.. DD (talk) 05:41, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
