It's not orphaned. Some vandal removed it and then whoever reverted the vandalism to LSHS did not put the image back. –Victor ^{(talk) (works)} 04:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SunTec-Logo.png)

The image that you are talking about is not used for the article that it was intended for. It is not removed from any article, by any other person, citing any reasons. I wanted a "JPG" format image to be used as the logo for the company mentioned in the article SunTec. This was in the "PNG" format. When I got a "JPG" image, I uploaded that image instead. You may please delete the image from wiki (Image:SunTec-Logo.png). Sorry for the inconvenience caused. -- Sreejith Kumar (talk) 08:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Burnley crest.png)

Re: the message on my talk page, I think there may be a bug in the bot as the image isn't orphaned. SP-KP (talk) 16:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I think that the system is going crazy. I don't know what I can do, if I cannot upload a file to discuss the design of a logo in the Graphics lab page Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop. I have put a link to it and not the image on the page so that the image does not appear. What can I do more. Please stop this integrism. Hektor (talk) 20:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cruel Summer.jpg.)

This File can be deleted as someone remove it from and place a different version of it on the page it was used on so just remove the file i uploads as its easier.

Puget Systems Logo and Puget Systems Submerged

These images are being used in a draft article in my user space, which will hopefully be moved to article space soon. Is there a way to prevent them from being deleted until then? Or should I just let them go and re-upload them once the article hits main space? Fire67 (talk) 16:38, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

If they get deleted before you move the article space leave me a note once you do the move and I'll undelete them. BJ^Talk 20:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

The article's already been moved, and the pictures have been added to the article. Thanks! Fire67 (talk) 04:03, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Mainpageskinned1.JPG

Please stop this bot from repeatedly tagging Image:Mainpageskinned1.JPG. A reason for keeping has been added by me (and repeatedly ignored by the bot), and the image is used to illustrate a technical problem on Wikipedia. DuncanHill (talk) 10:50, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

The image is in violation of WP:NFCC regardless, I suggest you crop it to make a free image. BJ^Talk 04:48, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

What needs to be cropped? I have already obscured the Wikipedia globe. DuncanHill (talk) 07:59, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Bot, a message was placed in error saying the said image was not being used. The image is being used in the info box of the article Mobilinux. Please do not delete the image.--Jondel (talk) 05:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Gameboy_advance_logo.svg and Image:Gameboy_micro_logo.svg

Your bot placed the {{di-orphaned fair use}} template in both these images, claiming that the images aren't used in any article. They ARE used in the articles Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Micro, respectively, so I suppose the template was placed in error. - Nmnogueira (talk) 07:46, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Time Warner Cable.gif

Hi. Your bot left me a message on my talk page about this fair use image being orphaned. While I applaud you for your efforts to keep Wikipedia out of legal trouble, this image is not orphaned, it is still present in it's namesake entry. Pacific Coast Highway ^{{talk • contribs}} 05:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Seems to be a bug; Image:Time_Warner_Cable.gif#filelinks shows nothing but the image on Time Warner Cable is that one. —Giggy 05:29, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

The same problem can been seen on a bunch of images at Cleveland Browns#Logo and uniforms. They're obviously in use, but the backlinks don't appear on the image pages. Has anybody identified a pattern to the bug? GIFs, JPGs, PNGs, and SVGs all appear to be affected. Should we temporarily shut off the bot? - Eureka Lott 05:51, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Just a wild guess, but could it be the infobox code not making it appear in use? Pacific Coast Highway ^{{talk • contribs}} 06:20, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

It's the job queue, nothing can be done without a large change to Mediawiki. BJ^Talk 08:24, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I didn't mean to imply that your bot was at fault. It's obviously a MediaWiki bug. Has it been noted anywhere? It's just that the bot will continue to incorrectly tag images as long as the bug persists. By the way, editing the article appeared to clear up the above problem for now, but I expect that it exists elsewhere. - Eureka Lott 18:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

It isn't a simple bug that can be fixed from what I understand. The job queue needs a major rewrite and I don't for see that happening for a while. In the mean time the bot checks for mistagged images daily and untags them, so there is no chance of a properly used image being deleted. BJ^Talk 04:47, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Stupid question: how can the bot tell that it has incorrectly tagged images as orphaned fair use images when the backlinks fail to appear on the image pages? - Eureka Lott 14:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Userspace and sandboxes

I created 3 pages in my sandbox for testing and demonstration purposes and added an image in each of them, taken from WP articles. The only change I made to them was resizing, so that they could fit into an infobox. One of these images was detected by this bot (but not the other two) and received the checked flag warning, about one day later (but noticed it only today). I cannot understand why, my understanding having been:

• Since the images are in published articles where they do not carry the same warning, I assumed their status was clear.
• Since I copied them into my sandbox, which is not intended for publication outside a few interested editors, I'd consider that this is fair use and should not be seen as copyright infringement. I think this bot should actually be rather lenient about sandboxes and if there is a reason why non-free images should be banned from testing beds, it should at least allow more time for testing, e.g. 2-4 weeks - what is deemed a reasonable time to gain consensus!
• I could not figure out why one of these images was flagged and the other two were not.

Thank you for helping. Clpda (talk) 22:11, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

The bot only removes non-free images, the other two images that were not removed are free and can be used in any fashion. You can read more about the non-free image policy at WP:NFCC. BJ^Talk 22:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your prompt reply - although you did not address the testing/sandbox issue. I've replaced the flag with an explanatory comment. Clpda (talk) 23:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I think I ran into the same or a similar problem... I'm putting together a page (for Desert Research Institute), but since it's still being built (and I'm a n00b) I'm building it in a sandbox. I uploaded a logo for the place and put that on the sandbox page, but it got nailed by this bot. (Sandbox page here) Can you put in an exception for Sandboxes? --Knockwood (talk) 08:48, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

For God's sake, wait a few minutes!

Thanks for uploading Image:Jonny Vang.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday Red Rocks.jpg

Hi, I was hoping you could clear something up. This image shows up in Sunday_Bloody_Sunday_(song)#Live_performances, yet it was tagged twice by your bot as being an orphan. I assume that your bot tagged it because its usage doesn't show up under the "File links" heading. Is this some sort of MediaWiki bug or something you've run across before? Thanks in advance, ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 22:42, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Yep, it is the job queue. A null edit to the using page fixes it. BJ^Talk 01:23, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Templating the regulars. . .

May I suggest Template:Orphaned short for very experienced users? The bot could simply check for total edits+date of first edit, or whether there is already such a template on the talk page. Just a thought. Chick Bowen 01:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Images for deletion

Hi,

(I am reproducing this message from User talk:Bjweeks because I have not yet received a response there or at my talk page.)

Your bot recently tagged several images I uploaded for deletion (see my talk page for a full list). Several of these images were recently used in the Gunnerkrigg Court article but have been commented out for now (they are images of characters in the comic, and for the moment I have commented those characters out of the article because I decided they were not "major" enough for inclusion); I was planning on keeping the images there for future use, as the article is undergoing frequent updates and the plot of the comic (as well as different interpretations from different Wikipedia editors) may cause some of the images to be used again at short notice. Would this be reason to keep the images on Wikipedia? (I'm not challenging your judgment, I'm just asking, because I am relatively unfamiliar still with Wikipedia image and fair use guidelines.) Thanks, Politizer (talk) 05:54, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Don't know if this has been brought up but if it has then feel free to ignore this.

BJBot = vandal

This bot has been vandalizing my user page, by repeatedly deleting an image that belongs to me (and for which I explicitly granted unlimited usage).

The very same image appears in another Wikipedia page (as my contribution -- which is still there!), but when I also place it on my user page, this "bot" deletes it. I restored my image, but the 'bot again deleted it (altho the published image in Wikipedia was NOT deleted).

This 'bot is defective, and should be disabled until fixed (or retired).

I have decide to restore the image (and to add a dozen more copies of it) to my "user" page. If these are again deleted, I shall endeavor to create a bot to restores anything on Wikipedia that is erroneously deletd by this 'bot. Let the 'bot wars begin!

(Or maybe I'll stop bothering to contribute, since I have better things to do with my time than fight erroneous deletions by vandalbots like this one!)

Regarding Wikipedia:Graphic Lab/Image workshop

Hi there, when a requester posts a non-free image for cleanup, vectorization, ect. they don't always read the How-to and end up posting the direct image onto the page. ie [[Image:Copyrighted.jpg]] instead of [[:Image:Copyrighted.jpg]] BJBot replaces [[Image:Copyrighted.jpg]] with the copyright notice image. This is very unhelpful as it sometimes makes it impossible for a graphist to know what image was posted without going back (sometimes through 100s of edits) into the history to find the image. It would be of much greater help if BJBot could replace [[Image:Copyrighted.jpg]] with [[:Image:Copyrighted.jpg]] so graphists still know which image is in need of repair. I know it's possible, just wondering if you'd be so kind to implement it? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 02:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

How do I make your bot stay away w/o turning it off?

My user page is filling up with notifications of imminent image deletions, none of which I contest or care about. Can the deletion process be accomplished without the bother of informing me? I'd be very grateful. Thanks--Hugh Manatee (talk) 16:47, 2 October 2008 (UTC).

this bot posted a message on my talk page in error. Bob A (talk) 06:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Stop removing images

Why the hell did you remove the image on User:Æåm Fætsøn/Archives and Drafts/Microsoft Office 2003 ? First, you're invading my privacy, because you did that on a subpage of a subpage of a user page, and second, you're ruining a draft of a page that I was going to upload. Well hard lick, you clunky twisted dumb metal turd, 'cause I added the image back and uploaded it with my article.

Will someone please ban or block this rogue bot? Æåm Fætsøn (talk) 08:34, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Bot Error

This bot is currently malfunctioning: it states that the images Image:LTSPlogo.gif, Image:LTSSlogo.gif, Image:LutherSeminarylogo.GIF, and Image:LSTClogo.gif are orphaned images. However, all currently are being used in articles. Please correct the bot to ensure it does not tag images which are used by an article as orphaned. -- jackturner3 (talk) 17:36, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

All those images are in fact orphans. BJ^Talk 17:49, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

2007 FIS Nordic WSC.gif image

Since the .gif image used for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 has been replaced by a .png, I don't have a problem with it though I think it would have gone better if it were speedy. Chris (talk) 21:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Another bot is doing GIF -> PNG conversions. BJ^Talk 01:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Put speedy delete user on it and .gif was deleted. Chris (talk) 02:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Talkpage spam

Thank you for the 122 messages you left on my talkpage this morning. Is this not a bit excessive just to tell me that all of the football logos I uploaded in 2006 & 2007 have now been changed to PNG files? EP 16:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

 Fixed, it should no longer notify the uploader when a {{PNG version available}} template is on the image. BJ^Talk 17:45, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your polite reply, It makes a pleasant change from the dismissive rudeness of another bot operator I crossed paths with a while back, regards EP 18:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Trademarked images

Regarding this edit, are non-copyrighted, trademarked images considered non-free? From what I read at WP:Logos and WP:Trademarks, they are not and the only restriction is that they cannot be used commerically. If I am incorrect, please point me to the Wikipedia policy stating that non-copyrighted, trademarked images are considered non-free (i.e., cannot be used in userspace and require FURs). Otherwise, please modify the bot to prevent it from removing such images. Thanks! →Wordbuilder (talk) 14:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

The bot follows the non-free categories, this discussion would be better suited for the village pump. BJ^Talk 17:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. →Wordbuilder (talk) 19:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, just remove the NFCC FUR template. BJ^Talk 21:40, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Noting replacement image

Regarding GIF images superseded by PNGs, the bot wasn't providing a replacement parameter when tagging superseded images. Could something be done to address this?--Paul_012 ^(talk) 13:56, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

My bot isn't the one doing the replacements. I figure I could have it copy the replacement name from the PNG replaced template but I don't see any real purpose to that. BJ^Talk 17:28, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

There's the small navigational benefit when someone might wonder why an image became orphaned, since the PNG available message may be buried down the page, but you're probably right; doesn't seem worth the effort. Thanks anyway. --Paul_012 ^(talk) 18:19, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Delayed orphan image suggestion

Why doesn't the bot wait a couple minutes (so the user can add it back up as a former logo) so I don't get spam from BJBot? Ellomate (talk) 19:43, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

The bot only runs once a day. BJ^Talk 19:52, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

GBC Logo

The orphaned .gif can be deleted. The logo is a television station logo so is not public domain, however its use on wikipedia is authorised by the webmaster of gbc.gi. If there are any additions that need to be made to clarify that, let me know as its me. --Gibnews (talk) 08:27, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

RE:Orphaned non-free media (Image:Thevar Magan screenshot.jpg)

Thanks for your communication. Image is no longer an orphan. Bharathprime (talk) 10:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Ashura Blaster

Thanks for informing me about my orphaned image for Ashura Blaster. The page was vandalised which explains the image becoming orphaned so I undid the edit and now it's back to normal. Raphie (talk) 10:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

User:GreyMatterEchoUKfan

Please do not edit my page. It is considered as vandalism. Thanks: GreyMatterEchoUKfan (talk) 12:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

No, no it isn't. BJ^Talk 16:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ghafurov 50somoni.jpg)

Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. Image:Ghafurov 50somoni.jpg was originally intended for the article Bobojon Ghafurov. However, it has since been replaced with a better copy Image:Ghafurov 50somoni cropped.jpg and the original orphaned Image:Ghafurov 50somoni.jpg can be safely deleted now. Unfortunately, I do not know how to delete images. Could you do it, please? Thanks again. --Zlerman (talk) 06:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Removal of Images

Hi, your bot removed all the images from a gallery on my page. I had intended it to be a spot to display all of the images I had uploaded, but as I have come to understand, that does not follow Wikipedia non-free image protocol. Is there any way to still display these images (as it is only on my userpage)? Thanks! DARTH PANDA^talk 03:37, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

You can link to the images but no, you can't display them. BJ^Talk 03:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

So in essence, I cannot display a gallery, but I can display links. DARTH PANDA^talk 18:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Image:History of Bonzos low res.jpg

You were remarkably quick in finding this was orphaned! The article The History of the Bonzos was vandalised on October 13, removing the infobox with the image and adding some nonsense, and you listed the image for speedy deletion on 14th! It is just as well I am not on holiday, or I would have had to upload it all again. Anyway, the image and infobox are now restored, and I hope you will take no further action. Patche99z (talk) 20:57, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

removed images

The bot removed two images from User:Bubba73/Sandbox/Rules of chess. This is a sandbox version of Rules of chess that we are working on that is currently under GA review. I would appreciate it if you would not tamper with a file like this. Bubba73 (talk), 03:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Ummmm.....I didn't upload it. I just reverted it. SAVIOR_SELF.777 02:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

McBurney School Logo

It's been replaced with a .png image, so it can be deleted.

Non-free images are not allowed on user pages, see WP:NFCC. BJ^Talk 01:20, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Please explain

Could you please explain the "Read this first" notice in plain English? What does "revert the edit" mean? Do you mean to press the undo key in the history? And what if the bot made no edit to the image page? As far as I can remember, all I saw for the impending removal of my image for an article regarding a music album was the impending removal notice in my talk page. Since the article the image was used in had been vandalised, there was no direct link from the image to that article anyway. Patche99z (talk) 14:33, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, undo is a form of reverting. If the bot hasn't made an edit it didn't tag the image. In this case a bot already removed the the tag.[2] BJ^Talk 17:03, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
