Question

Hello, almost three years later, here I am: can you (re)check if this file was indeed a(n exact) duplicate? Maybe I got confused at the time, or maybe the source was mistaken. I know both articles, and I'm aware they are different. If you confirm they were duplicates, then I will upload the missing one—if I find it freely licensed. Best regards, RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:04, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@RodRabelo7 The files are identical (I downloaded both and hashed them using different algorithms on my machine). The deleted file description page had the source set to "https://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/ling/article/view/20679" and the author field set to "Aryon Dall’Igna Rodrigues", if that helps. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 04:04, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for Deletion Notification Bot 2

As seen at e.g. User talk:Epicalalt395#File:SR-npc-Sven-removebg-preview.png, the bot includes the message "I'm a computer program; please don't ask me questions but ask the user who nominated your file(s) for deletion or at our Help Desk." in its notifications. Seeing that it took me a minute to spot that the identity of the nominator was actually included in the message, but in small, not very conspicuous text, between the big box and the final message. I think it would be more prominent (and thus more helpful) to incorporate a link to the nominator's talk page with the final message, e.g. as:

"I'm a computer program; please don't ask me questions but ask the user who nominated your files(s) for deletion on their talk page (user talk:Example) or at our Help Desk."

Although reading it back that wording could be improved to avoid the suggestion that the nomination happened on their talk page. A change similar to this should reduce the barriers to those who are not experienced wiki editors. Thryduulf (talk) 16:01, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Thryduulf Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it would require a decent amount of code refactoring to make the nominator's name available in the final message. I'll definitely edit the final message to mention that the nominator is named in the text above and making the nominator's name a normal size, though. (Probably sometime this week?) Thanks again! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:12, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Diff/1012880759

Hi, I don't think indef blocked users should be notified. Leyo 19:36, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Leyo I agree! They should be skipped now. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:22, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --Leyo 09:23, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Finna images review

Hi. There're ~33,000 files pending review at Category:Finna review needed. Could you start your bot so it resumes the Finna task? Thanks! -- DaxServer (talk) 20:25, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DaxServer Sure, started! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 04:09, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
