File:Daisy Ad 1964.ogv
Subsequent to my uploading this file at Wikipedia a copy was uploaded to commons. When you deleted this file the history was lost. It would have been better to flag the file for transfer to commons, yes? – Lionel (talk) 08:00, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- It was literally an exact duplicate as the one on Commons. I didn't bother with the upload log from English Wikipedia because it looked to me like the uploader on Commons didn't use your upload for a history, rather found the video on his own. I can restore it and add if you really want. Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
What happened is I asked about this file at WP:CQ. The other editor confirmed that it was public domain. I then uploaded it at WP. After my upload, the other editor uploaded it at commons. As it is a historical file, I'm hoping to nom it for FP. The full history would be beneficial. Thanks, – Lionel (talk) 22:49, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- Done Magog the Ogre (talk) 02:38, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Citizens Bank Footprint
I believe this should be updated as they have now exited the NYC metro selling their branches to People's United. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.4.146.43 (talk) 03:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- OK. This one is a bit more difficult because I have to remember all of the different FDIC bank IDs that were involved. Magog the Ogre (talk) 21:58, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Now Commons tagging
Hi! My bot have been tagging files with Now Commons for some time now but now it is finally done. Files that was marked as non free on en-wiki on the time I made the list was skipped and I also skipped some other categories that might mark to many files that is not ok for Commons. Sadly many bad transfers have been made making it hard just to press the delete button. I'll help check/fix the files soon so you do not have to do them all. --MGA73 (talk) 12:28, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
- While I have you hear, I will let you know about these bot errors: [1] [2]. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for the bad news :-D It is hard to avoid errors in the migration-mess and I noticed that your bot also have some problems. It is not wrong but the "|migration=relicense|migration=relicense|migration=review" does not look nice...
So far I have only seen my bot make a few errors and they all relates to files that end up in Commons:Category:License migration needs review. So the problem should be limited.
The best would probably be to fix CommonsHelper so it makes less mess in the first place. But it would also be good to have a bot cleanup automatically (your cleanup and my cleanup).
Do you have a list of "errors" that CH makes? Last time I asked Magnus to fix CH it was done within a few hours. So I suggest we try that. --MGA73 (talk) 10:24, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- Are you kidding me? I've made multiple requests and Magnus has ignored all of them, even the disgustingly simple ones. Yes, I have a list the length of my arm. Magog the Ogre (talk) 10:28, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
Hm... Perhaps my request was very easy since it was done so soon... If you put the list somewhere I can look at it and we can start with the easy fixes. --MGA73 (talk) 19:25, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- Do you want them by IRC, by email, what? Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:54, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Any way you like :-) --MGA73 (talk) 17:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
NowCommons files can be reviewed. I tried to make it possible to review Move to Commons files also. But it did not work as planned. Perhaps you can find the problem? Template_talk:Copy_to_Wikimedia_Commons#Make_human_review_possible. --MGA73 (talk) 20:28, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
harris bank footprint map
your map for Harris Bank and Marshall & Ilsley need to be combined because the two banks have merged to become BMO Harris Bank — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgoblue144 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Question
Is this a valid reason for requesting speedy deletion of an article? "WP:COI by editors, all Pakistani." Mar4d (talk) 03:42, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Nope. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:53, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Another question
Does this edit comply with WP:NPOV and WP:DUE? Would like third opinion.. Mar4d (talk) 17:47, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
And also this.. don't want to use the rollback button too early everywhere. Mar4d (talk) 18:22, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Yup. That did it. Blocked for a week. Magog the Ogre (talk) 22:37, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you, I am also going to revert this misplaced edit. It would be plausible to note that the template in question (Template:Pakistan separatist movements) was created right after a similiar one I created has been renominated for deletion for the third time by the same user (and whose talk page is proving to be futile for constructive discussion). Apart from double standards, this is a clear exposition of WP:BATTLEGROUND and WP:POINT. Before I leave you alone, I'd like to say one more thing which I actually came here for ..... it would have helped if you had discussed your concerns about this article on its talk page after prodding it, or at least having done the courtesy of leaving a message on mine or TopGun's talk page about what you believe makes it a "POV-pushing nightmare." Mar4d (talk) 03:07, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I like to express myself succinctly; my opinion is that a reading of the article will speak for itself. It looks like a bit of a hatchet-job with the purpoes of making Indian forces look bad. It provides absolutely no balance whatsoever to the allegations, which it presents as fact rather than allegation. These problems should be obvious to anyone reading the article. In light of this, I don't believe I should have to state this. Magog the Ogre (talk) 03:30, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have commented on DS's block here; I thought it appropriate to let you know. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:23, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I cannot fathom how you've come to the conclusion that someone should not be blocked for POV-pushing. Magog the Ogre (talk) 16:52, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Nomination of Rape in Northeast India for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rape in Northeast India is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rape in Northeast India until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. KTC (talk) 21:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
Mtc review
Hi. Perhaps you could help me fix User:MGA73/movetocommonsreview.js so that it will also work on {{Mtc}}. See Template_talk:Copy_to_Wikimedia_Commons#Make_human_review_possible for further info. --MGA73 (talk) 22:32, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
- I think I did it. However, I am far too lazy to check it myself. Please let me know if it works. Magog the Ogre (talk) 01:24, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you... It worked when I added a "(". Yeah... Cool... Thank you. --MGA73 (talk) 21:03, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
I Protest
Would you mind if you could take a minute and review this AfD closure: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Protest. The discussion has seven users favouring keep and three favouring deletion. It has been non-admin closed as "no consensus." Note: I've already consulted the user who closed it (here) before coming here. Mar4d (talk) 09:03, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- So you want it closed as keep? Isn't that just a bit silly that the closure be overturned although the result is the same? The article hasn't been deleted. Even if it closed as keep, it can still be renominated in 6 months. There is nothing gained by having Magog the Ogre spend the time reviewing it or by you chasing the issue until it gets changed. It's a waste of time and there are better things to do.--v/r - TP 13:35, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
The fact that it has been kept or it can be renominated in 6 months is not my concern, the subject here is the closure of the AfD. I do not believe that "no consensus" aptly summarizes the discussion that took place, either numerically or in terms of the opinions of all users involved. There has to be a clear indication for it to be classed as such, which I cannot find. Mar4d (talk) 15:05, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- I understand, but what practical difference will it make? I think this is something to just let go.--v/r - TP 15:13, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- After doing some research, I see that Wikipedia:Non-admin closure allows for non-admin closure in cases of "Clear keep outcomes after a full listing period (stated in the instructions to each XfD, this is usually seven days), absent any contentious debate among participants." Whether this case fits or not, I do not know. In any case, I recommend taking the issue to WP:DRV, so as to avoid the admin-shopping. Magog the Ogre (talk) 16:51, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the swift response, shall see to this issue over there then as per your suggestion. Also, one more thing I've noticed.. regarding TopGun's block.. why has he been given a one-week block as opposed to a 24 hour or 48-hour one, especially since his last block also was not a week long either (it had been reverted). Is there anything to explain this escalation in the log? Mar4d (talk) 13:25, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
- You'll have to ask the original admin to be sure. But in this case, he's been blocked multiple times, and after this many blocks (some of which were not undone), one week seems appropriate. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:59, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Can the higher resolution original image be deleted? I hope this is possible. Cheers, --Artene50 (talk) 09:01, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
- I've tagged it; it should be deleted in about a week. Magog the Ogre (talk) 09:02, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

PD Signature
Hey, Magog. I want to ask you about this image and 4 others of Girls Generation members. They are signatures and should be in PD. Some signatures from South Korean are also on Commons like this and this--Morning Sunshine (talk) 14:16, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hi! They are PD in the US, but possibly not in their home country, which means that Commons is not willing to house them, but English Wikipedia is (unless precedence is undone). Unfortunately, when it comes to matters like signatures, there are far more people who are unaware of or don't care about the rules than there are people who try to clean up after them, so it's quite common to have a lot slip through the cracks. Those are just some examples. You might consider starting a deletion request. Keep in mind - it's not that they're necessarily unfree in South Korea, it's that, as a community, we're not familiar enough with South Korean law to know whether they are or not. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:57, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
File:Jimmy Hendrix.JPG missing description details
If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.
If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:38, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Additionally, I'm not sure the license is correct Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:38, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure why you're telling me about it; I only reverted a copyright violation on it. Magog the Ogre (talk) 09:39, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
Re: Ron B. Thomson, File:Great Ex Telescope Telescope.jpg
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
OgreBot help, please.
Was able to turn this File:Blondie1977.jpg into a PD file a while back. There's apparently some software creepie that won't let me add the larger photo. If you'll be kind enough to move all of this to Commons, I'll add the larger photo when it gets there. Thanks, We hope (talk) 12:46, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure what your problem is, but I transferred it. Magog the Ogre (talk) 14:11, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks-was getting some sort of error message when I tried uploading the larger photo here. We hope (talk) 14:23, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Hounded again
Told you about this one..never edited before I think but we've to go through every thing and get a pattern... now not only he has created retaliatory articles right after I created Pakistan Zindabad he created Hindustan Zindabad which I felt ok with and even contributed to, and then he goes with creating another one which is now at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pakistan Murdabad. This is clear cut battle ground editing even noticed by neutral editors there. As soon I start editing after a week all my edits being reverted in some cases without even reading the article. [3]
And another one who has much more history and was last advised to stay away has hounded me to a completely unrelated domain along with this one. [4] [5]. It's getting crazy and you should see through without ambiguity this time. --lTopGunl (talk) 13:04, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Now this is really funny. I guess you only notified Magog about the so called "hounding" earlier, and now you are citing an well-sourced article to be an WP:ATTACK page. I guess you only said in a TfD that deletion discussions are not for clean up. Right? ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 13:07, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Magog, would you also like to take a look at some useless trolling that's been happening here. Very funny stuff :) The user is wasting time there and fails to engage in any meaningful discussion, as can be seen by their irrelevant comments. Mar4d (talk) 13:50, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- If you feel there is general misconduct, try WP:RFC for this content or WP:RFC/U for this user. Magog the Ogre (talk) 14:27, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
- Even if Vaibhav was filibustering the discussion in bad faith, this is an incredibly difficult thing to gauge, and the same is just likely to be true of you and Mar4d. I didn't see any actionable behavioral problems. From my perspective, it's just two sides with a content dispute, who (taken as a whole) apparently really suck at dispute resolution. Magog the Ogre (talk) 14:43, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Revert?
You should not have reverted per WP:The Wrong Version. Even the pre dispute version is not that.. there was slow edit war before on it.. the pre dispute version was something else... check again if you want to revert to a predispute version. You've also removed the perpetrators which were re added after agreement of all editors. --lTopGunl (talk) 14:43, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
