Hi! I've been trying to figure out how other editors run IAbotlike this, so I'm finally just asking someone. I know how to run jobs from themanagement console, but what tool are you using to run it in individual pages from your own account? Is this a module in AWB or something similar?Alyo(chat·edits)18:37, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm not sure if you need special permission to do this but from a page's history tab just hit "fix dead links" which should be on the far right of "external tools".J04n(talk page)19:30, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I see it--never noticed that before. Thanks!Alyo(chat·edits)19:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GreetingsJ04n, thanks for adding the album art toKing Zamar. I was wondering, since I heavily work on creating articles of songs and albums, how does one get permission to add an album art or a song cover art onWikimedia commons, or get it licensed underFair use?
Thanks in advance, I'll be on the look out for your response.dxneo (talk)20:45, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, If it's under copy right it can't be added to commons but all you need to get fair use permission is to include the following during the upload and filling in the blanks:

{{Non-free use rationale album cover

| Article =

| Use = Infobox

| Name =

| Artist =

| Label =

| Website =

}}

== Licensing ==

{{Non-free album cover|image has rationale=yes}}

Thanks a lot you're a lifesaver, I'll try and see if it works.dxneo (talk)21:14, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

J04n, sorry to disturb you at this hour as it is 02:05am (SAST), Using theUpload wizard i seem to can't get past the second step which is "Release rights", I tried using the "Another reason not mentioned above" so that I can paste that template but instead I get slammed with a red link "Template:Non-free use rationale album cover". What do I do from here?dxneo (talk)00:05, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't use upload wizard, just type the name of the file you are going to create with .jpg into the infobox, which creates a redlink. Then clicking on the redlink will allow you to upload the image.J04n(talk page)00:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, it worked.dxneo (talk)00:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings sirJ04n, a question, doesmusic recording certification alone help a (stub) page to stay afloat? (I do recall that certificates signify notability)
I once created "Amaphiko" before I became anautopatroller and it was marked as reviewed meaning it wasn't auto reviewed, so I was wondering if maybe I could create one more without faltering my account or would it be abusing my rights?dxneo (talk)06:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A recording being certified is a criterion for notability, no once could fault you for creating notable stubs.J04n(talk page)13:21, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just created article for Selena’s Preciosa album. Could you help me with some artwork.Tejanorules (talk)01:28, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tejanorules, in this case I think you should at least wait for anew page reviewer to patrol the article first, please be patient.dxneo (talk)01:57, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JO4n, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to add alternative artwork to infoboxes of Selena’s independent albums. They were re-released in 2006-2007 as Selena Classic series. I just thought they could use them as other album articles usually have alternative covers included in their infoboxes along with original album artwork. “Alpha-vol 1, Munequito de trapo-vol 2, And the winner is Vol 3, preciosa-vol 4, Dulce Amor-vol 5. If you could do this, I would greatly appreciate it.Tejanorules (talk)22:25, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, considering that we have over 12,000 pages missing the primary cover art I'm not going to start spending time looking for secondary covers. Also there's this" ...perWP:NFCC#3 use of non-free content is to be minimal, and not to be used if one item can convey equivalent significant information. An alternative cover that is significantly different from the original and is widely distributed and/or replaces the original has generally been held to pass this criterion. Also, an alternative cover that is the subject of specific (sourced) critical commentary passes the criteria for inclusion. Covers that are essentially similar, despite differences in colouring, poses, text, etc., should not be included. Perhaps after cleaning up the primary backlog I'll look at some of these but I tend to find big backlogs and shift my attention to them. Be well,J04n(talk page)22:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey dude,

Saw that you added a cover art for the Wig Wam album Wall Street (2012). The cover art that's currently in place is the European edition and according to the band, it's not the one they intended for this release. The artwork they wanted to use is the one that ended up on the Norwegian and Japanese edition. Some miscommunication between the band's Norwegian label and their international label caused a mix-up. See the following interview for a source on the matter:http://www.queensofsteel.com/2005/07/wig-wam-eng/

The album cover in question:https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music4/v4/20/20/1b/20201bdb-f5ce-3a29-5761-e30df1822666/7332334361247.jpg/1200x1200bb.jpg

This artwork is the preferred version of the band and what they consider the album's 'real' artwork. Highly suggest that the album page use this one instead of the other cover art. I replaced the file that you originally uploaded (apologies for doing this right away instead of giving you a heads-up on the issue), but as this is technically not the right solution and I'm not too savvy with uploading and filling out the forms in Wikimedia, it would probably be best if you uploaded a new file and set this one as the main artwork. :DValhaIl (talk)19:50, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HelloJ04n, I hope you're doing well. You recently edited the article and rescued the sources. Looking through it I got the idea that you arearchiving the source. I didn't knew if there a local tool or how does it works. So I would like to more about the tool and its usages on articles. ThanksC1K98V^{(💬✒️📂)}04:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't came across this tool till today. The usage of the tool is only for dead links fixes or it can be used on newly created articles too (maybe with a week old sources). ThanksC1K98V^{(💬✒️📂)}13:59, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I noticed that you are an active member ofWikiProject Musicians. Therefore, I thought you might be interested in taking a look at an edit request I recently posted atTalk:Don_Ienner#Later_career. AlthoughDon Ienner is not a musician himself, as the head of Columbia Records and Sony Music, he helped launch the careers of many popular contemporary musicians, so I am hoping this might interest you. I wonder if, while you are already on the talk page, you would also look at a previous edit request I posted atTalk:Don Ienner#Columbia Records & Sony Music section, which was only partially implemented. I was in a discussion with another editor about the bullet points he did not implement, but he has not responded to me. I would really appreciate it if you can look and see what you think over there as well. Thanks,GarrettEye (talk)12:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for adding infoboxes to television articles. If you can, please don't add the complete list of parameters as those are just not useful for most articles and some are mutually exclusive so adding both is never helpful. If youreally must add empty values, useTemplate:Infobox television#Short which at least has lesser things to clean up after. Also, if you don't want to care about spacing, please use{{subst:Infobox television/subst as it automatically fixes spacing.Gonnym (talk)14:39, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey J04n, when creating album by artist subcategories (live, compilation, EPs, etc.) could you also include the categories “by artist” and “by Fooian artists” as well as any appropriate genres as parents? Also, it is not absolutely necessary to create such subcategories for an artist who releases a single live album or one compilation album. Nothing against it either but it can make things simpler to stick with the status quo.

Out of curiousity, what got you interested in creating categories and musician templates? You are a long-time editor but really haven’t delved in those areas previously. I know you have always done a fabulous job adding album covers to articles that didn’t have them, and I noticed this change when your creations began showing up onUser:AlexNewArtBot/AlbumSearchResult. Cheers.Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me}05:47, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the tip. I simply started adding categories because I (finally) cleared the backlog of missing album covers.J04n(talk page)13:08, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for moving my article,The Elephants of Mars, to the proper case, and for adding the cover image. Weird thing is, I added a cover image myself originally, but it seems that it was removed by a bot for a lack of fair-use rationale, despite me adding a fair-use rationale when I uploaded it...https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Elephants_of_Mars&diff=1210958509&oldid=1210934072

The image I had uploaded is still athttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Joe_Satriani_-_The_Elephants_of_Mars.png - since it's been reuploaded, should I delete it? ThanksJedibob5 (talk)16:01, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HiJedibob5, you're very welcome. Not sure why the bot targeted your image but I just deleted it. Nice job on your first article!J04n(talk page)16:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated, thanks! I wonder if it had something to do with the title case issue... I think I may have put the lowercase "of" in the article title for the fair-use rationale, so perhaps the bot didn't see it as the same article while it still had the uppercase "Of."Jedibob5 (talk)18:59, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Thank you for uploading the cover art forThat's Why I Gave Up on Music. I didn't do it at the time, since I was trying to figure out an optimal resolution—one that's a bit clearer as well as complies with the non-free use policy.

Would it be possible to upscale the image so as much as the phrasing "Tyska Skolgränd" and the other one beside it are roughly visible? If you read the story, you understand how important it is because of it being a prominent place visited by the main character and its mention in the future sequels.

I understand that it is possible to list the same in the caption too, but since I have yet to add the original caption, and if the place name is added as well, it'd be a little too long. But that's what the intentional high scale image with valid rationale is for, right? Needless to say, the image would still be inferior to the original, and it only ever needs to be upscaled so much as the phrasing is vaguely visible. What do you think? Is it appropriate to do that for this purpose?Lunar-akaunto／talk06:46, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lunar-akaunto, I just added a better image, but it's tough because the lettering is so small.J04n(talk page)00:20, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello J04n. Please insert the alt = parameter where you upload cover images perWP:ALT. I don't think any editor would necessarily expect you to describe all images you're uploading, but it should be present per the linked guideline (andWP:ACCESS).Ss11209:21, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ss112, thank you for removing the perfectly fine image I added toHardstone Psycho and replacing it with one with a parental advisory label on it. Please show me a link to the conversation about cropping images.J04n(talk page)14:42, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

J04n, I have pings turned off. As I said, this was 5+ years ago, and you'll note I also said I couldn't recall where it occurred. I don't keep a repository of links for future reference (do you?), but I specifically recall it happening and an admin disapproving of regular editors cropping images/substantially altering images from the source they have linked. That being said, I don't know why you're replying to a message I removed and admitted I may be incorrect about as I already foundMOS:IMAGES says it's mostly fine to crop images, even if I don't think it's right to do so.

Besides, I added "blank" in cover= soHardstone Psycho was removed from the infoboxes lacking an album cover category you patrol so that the cover could be added when it became available, but you still found it somehow anyway—and then you go out of your way to find an image to crop just so you can avoid using a Parental Advisory sticker? Seems a bit much to do for one cover. I'm sure a Parental Advisory-less cover we don't have to extensively crop will become available soon enough.Ss11202:05, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploadingFile:Bad to the Bone (Inner Circle album).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required byWikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available fromWikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as animage copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance withsection F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at themedia copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³10:57, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, heads up, I don't thinkFile:Blue Paradise.jpg is the actual album cover forBlue Paradise; I believe that's just a placeholder image compiling all the different possible digipack versions available - no album will actually include the photos of all 9 members; each member's image is a separate edition (you can see in the store listing that you can select which member's digipack you want to buy).

Hi! Thank you for all your hard work!

I would like to replace the artwork in some articles, can I just upload new files on top of the existing ones?

1. "Forever (Slim Whitman album)". I think the mono version cover is preferable:https://www.discogs.com/release/7016156-Slim-Whitman-Forever. --Moscow Connection (talk)00:57, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2. "Slim Whitman Sings (1959 album)". It is not the American cover, the American cover is this one:https://www.discogs.com/release/4233785-Slim-Whitman-Slim-Whitman-Sings;
3. "Heart Songs & Love Songs". The cover says "London", so it is not American. The Imperial Records one is here:https://www.discogs.com/release/10280841-Slim-Whitman-Heart-Songs-Love-Songs;
4. "The Eddy Duchin Story (soundtrack)". It is not the first edition cover, the first edition cover is probably this one:https://www.discogs.com/release/9647168-Carmen-Cavallaro-The-Eddy-Duchin-Story. (The photo would need to be cropped a bit at the edges, though.)

(Or you can just do it yourself if you have the time.) --Moscow Connection (talk)00:57, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correction.

4. "The Eddy Duchin Story (soundtrack)". The first edition cover is this one:https://www.discogs.com/release/4639525-Carmen-Cavallaro-The-Eddy-Duchin-Story.
   Billboard[1] noted: "The cover is rather busy-looking, but photos of Power and Kim Novak give it name value for displays." So it has to be this one.

Hello,I hope you are doing well. I'm writing to ask about the resizing of the cover forMarlene Dietrich: Der Blonde Engel – Die Retrospektive. I had understood that the original size, which was under 300, was the correct specification. Could you please clarify the reason for the change? Thank you.Markus WikiEditor (talk)00:57, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Markus WikiEditor, seeWP:IMAGERES, non-free images cannot exceed 100,000 pixels. I replaced your image with a 202x355 sized image which comes in at only 71,710, well within the guidelines, and IMO fills in the Infobox nicer. Nice work on filling in the Marlene Dietrich discography.J04n(talk page)09:47, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, J04n. This message is being sent to remind you of significant upcoming changes regarding logged-out editing.

Starting 4 November, logged-out editors will no longer have their IP address publicly displayed. Instead, they will have atemporary account (TA) associated with their edits. Users with some extended rights like administrators and CheckUsers, as well as users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will still be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range.

How do temporary accounts work?

• When a logged-out user completes an edit or a logged action for the first time, a cookie will be set in this user's browser and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created for them. This account's name will follow the pattern:~2025-12345-67 (a tilde, year of creation, a number split into units of 5).
• All subsequent actions by the temporary account user will be attributed to this username. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser.
• A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. Users with thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right will be able to see the underlying IP addresses.
• As a measure against vandalism, there are two limitations on the creation of temporary accounts:
  • There has to be a minimum of 10 minutes between subsequent temporary account creations from the same IP (or /64 range in case of IPv6).
  • There can be a maximum of 6 temporary accounts created from an IP (or /64 range) within a period of 24 hours.

Temporary account IP viewer user right

• Administrators may grant thetemporary account IP viewer (TAIV) user right to non-administrators who meet thecriteria for granting. Importantly, an editor must make an explicit request for the permission (e.g. atWP:PERM/TAIV)—administrators arenot permitted to assign the right without a request.
• Administrators willautomatically be able to see temporary account IP information once they have accepted theAccess to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy viaSpecial:Preferences or via the onboarding dialog which comes up after temporary accounts are deployed.

Impact for administrators

• It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects theautoblock option.
• It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
• Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. OnSpecial:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should useSpecial:IPContributions for this (see a video about IPContributions in a gallery below).

Rules about IP information disclosure

• Publicizing an IP address gained through TAIV access isgenerally not allowed (e.g.~2025-12345-67 previously edited as 192.0.2.1 or~2025-12345-67's IP address is 192.0.2.1).
• Publicly linking a TA to another TA is allowed if "reasonably believed to be necessary". (e.g.~2025-12345-67 and ~2025-12345-68 are likely the same person, so I am counting their reverts together toward3RR, but notHey ~2025-12345-68, you did some good editing as ~2025-12345-67)
• SeeWikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer § What can and can't be said for more detailed guidelines.

Useful tools for patrollers

• It is possible to view if a user has opted-in to view temporary account IPs via theUser Info card, available inPreferences →Appearance →Advanced options →Enable theuser info card
  • This feature also makes it possible for anyone to see the approximate count of temporary accounts active on the same IP address range.
• Special:IPContributions allows viewing all edits and temporary accounts connected to a specific IP address or IP range.
• Similarly,Special:GlobalContributions supports global search for a given temporary account's activity.
• The auto-reveal feature (see video below) allows users with the right permissions to automatically reveal all IP addresses for a limited time window.
