It's good
... that you don't bite; a very good characteristic for an admin. (If not so, I would not write to you.) Hi. How are you doing in these difficult Corona times? Me, not bad. Look, I have a feeling you will repent having given the filemover button to C1K98V, he already began to make unnecessary changes that introduce subjective names like X graces the Z party etc. I hope I will be wrong and you right, for the good of Commons. Best. --E4024 (talk) 03:25, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hey E4024, thanks for the ping. I will agree that moving File:Mohsin Khan grace Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Awards 2019.jpg (new name) was unnecessary, however, I am not seeing a trend of incorrectly applying Criteria 2 in his log. I think all file movers have made the occasional application of Criteria 2 that was borderline in nature. Are there other recent file moves that are concerning that I am missing? ~riley (talk) 03:33, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know, I saw it by chance. It may look weird (or even unjust) to you but I have instincts that almost never mistake me. I was waiting for this kind of behaviour the moment I saw the button gift. Sorry, I have prejudices; if I see I am wrong in some of them I may get rid of them. Not yet. --E4024 (talk) 03:38, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Move log is clean otherwise. No apologies for prejudice needed. If you are concerned about behaviour, have you seen Commons:License_review/Requests#C1K98V. ~riley (talk) 03:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Help with SDC copyright license
Hello! I uploaded some self-published work and they were placed at Category:Self-published work missing SDC copyright license & Category:Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication missing SDC copyright license. What is the "SDC copyright license"? It's missing, but I don't know what it is. Thanks in advance! Minerva97 (talk) 15:47, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
File rename mistake
Hello @~riley: I hope you're doing well. I would like to apologise and highlight the mistake happened by me while renaming a file. It's my responsibility to do the task correctly. I'm sorry, I feel guilty, you believed in me and shown trust that I could handle the tools properly. I would be more careful from next time, and you won't regret. Thanks --C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 15:05, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

opt-in to X tools
Hi Riley, re request to opt-in to X tools at User:JGHowes/EditCounterOptIn.js, I'm having trouble finding it at Preferences -> Gadgets. Could you point me to it, please? JGHowes talk 14:33, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- @JGHowes: X tools is not specific to Commons so it is not listed under Gadgets; it is one of the most common edit counter and edit analysis tools though. To opt-in, you simply create the above-linked page with any content (e.g. put a "yes"). ~riley (talk) 21:20, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- @~riley: Thanks. Actually, I've long used X tools as a browser link here: https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ rather than running a Java script, which I'm always a bit leery about anyway. Have now enabled it. JGHowes talk 21:41, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!
Dear ~riley
Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.
After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.
The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.
As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.
Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Please take a short survey regarding UCoC
Hello ~riley,
I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.
As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.
You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.
Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

- Do you really understand what the word "drama" means, Mys_721tx? I ask you for help (the issues about t981130's photos and his OTRS permission because he sent in his OTRS permission about two months ago), but it seems to bother you. I can find other for help and they do not put me down for not understanding something that I said. Also, I won't ask you for help next time. Please don't ping me anymore.--Kai3952 (talk) 11:09, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi, ~riley. There is a small problem. You have approved my request, but it seems that you have not granted me the relevant rights. I think this may be the problem of JS script? Anyway, thank you! --海の向こうは敵だ！ 00:17, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi,
You've accidentally put the new red colour in the white sections as well as the red. Looks like I'm not able to overwrite, so can you please reupload with the code as The Replicator had in their edit?

- Thanks for the message here, I hadn't gotten the ping for the talk page. Corrected so it was just the red! ~riley (talk) 00:30, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
Hello, I have seen that you deleted the free licensed file in accordance with the request with the stated reason "[t]his is my photo taken by accident and posted here without permission." However, that is not the reason found in Commons:Deletion policy, and there are also other images of public figures with other warnings instead of deletion, such as {{Personality rights}}. I hope you consider restoring the file according to the policy. Regards, --Horus (talk) 11:54, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- P.S. Please ping me when responding. Thank you. --Horus (talk) 11:55, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

There is a similar problem in this map.
This is original
And this is changed version.
There are no sources for doted lines, around Savia, Bosnia or Romania Planina (there is not even an enthity with that name). Could you revert the map to correct version? --Čeha (talk) 12:32, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
LR permission request discussion invitation
Dear ~riley:
I'm sorry to bother you!
Hello, I'm BureibuNeko. I send the message to invite you to participate in a discussion about whether I can obtain LR permissions. I think the current vote is unfair, at least relatively. Therefore, if you can participate in this discussion, I will be grateful. ( Whether you support or oppose )
Sorry to bother you again !
In addition, I invite you because you have expressed your opinions on LR permission request page, so this is not canvassing! And thank you again!

Report
Hello, please take a look at this report: Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Files named with meaningless/disruptive names (motivated renaming was reverted without any valid reason) as these are serious everyday violations of the Commons rules and protection of meaningless names (in this case, Kalumny which translates as Columns). User Kazimier Lachnovič with filemover rights constantly performs violations of the Commons rules, creates instability issues and protects meaningless names, thus creates confusion. His Commons admin rights previously were lifted, but it is clear that it is not enough. -- Pofka (talk) 17:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
Retirement
Hello. It's pretty sad that you're retiring from the Wikimedia world. You're probably one of the most helpful admin I've seen throughout my wikilife. You've been there for everyone and I just want to thank you for helping me to become who I am today. Hope that you'll come back in future and I wish you well in your life. Cheers! --Minoraxtalk 11:38, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- +1 - You're one of the good admins so I'm saddened to see you retire however as I tell everyone RL is far more important than Wikipedia. I wish you the very best and hope you return in the near future, Thank you for your service and contributions not only to Commons but to Wikimedia as a whole.
- Thanks again for everything you've done, Take care and stay safe Riley. Warm Regards. Dave /// –Davey2010Talk 16:37, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- :( Really sad. I hope you'll come back. Thank you for your service. -- CptViraj (talk) 04:17, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Balkans925.png
Hi riley, sorry to bother you, but I had a problem, and maybe you could help?
I was blocked for a week because of my contribution to this map; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Balkans925.png
1. I did not participate in edit war. I removed doted lines of Savia, Bosnia and Romania mountain from this version https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/2/21/20210417165036%21Balkans925.png because they are unsourced (and wrong). You can see on this sources that those lines are non existant; https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datoteka:Tomislav1.jpg https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datoteka:Tomislavova_Hrvatska.jpg https://hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datoteka:Trpimir.jpg
2. My edit was removed as vandalism, yet the newer version of the map https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Balkans925.png doesn't include those doted lines as well. So why was I blocked?
3. Current version of map is unsourced, and goes directly against recorded sources. It didn't only removed the wrong doted lines, it also contains full line as a border of Bosnia. Bosnia in that time is not recorded as independent state, and the areas it contains (for example Livno county) are recorded as part of Croatian state (as can be seen in the maps above)
Thank you in advance. --Čeha (talk) 12:42, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

userRightsManager issue?
Hi riley,
I noticed that User:~riley/userRightsManager.js doesn't seem to work for me. I can click on the "assign permissions" button, but it doesn't launch a dialog. Assuming that it isn't just me, and that I'm using it correctly, this may be because nothing seems to have the sysop-show class. If this is indeed the issue, changing $('.sysop-show a') to $('.adminonly a') may fix it. Best, —Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

Please be more careful
I am not a troll.
That en.wiki ban was, IMO, highly questionable, and has nothing to do with my activities on the commons.
We are all responsible to one another for our comments and edits. I think the questions I asked you on 2022-10-27 were serious questions, asked in a civil, collegial manner. Good faith questions, good faith attempts to discuss concerns, are not harrassment.
Before I noticed you reverted my comment I started Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Has there even been a serious discussion as to how to organize the contributions of flickr users? I started it in good faith. I did not mention your move of Category:Files from bertknot Flickr stream to Category:Photographs by Bert Knottenbeld in that discussion.
I chose not to mention this as an example, because I know I am quite capable of normal human fallibility, and I didn't want to embarrass you if the lack of explanation for your choices was normal human error. None of us should be shamed for normal human error.
Calling me a troll in your edit summary? I think that was another instance of normal human error. Geo Swan (talk) 03:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC) Geo Swan (talk) 03:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
