Borealestes serendipitous.jpg ‎[edit]

I'm fairly sure the image is a heavily altered photoshop of an image of the 3d model of the skull of Borealestes created by Matt Humpage in collaboration with the researchers behind the 2021 study (Model can be found here. You can tell it's not been directly drawn because the zygomatic bar is not clearly distinguished from the coronoid process of the mandible, which is something you would definitively include if you were drawing it by hand. Many of A. C. Tartarinov's "own work" uploads appear to be produced by the same process. Hemiauchenia (talk) 04:41, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think they're borderline cases, but I removed the copyright tag. FunkMonk (talk) 08:12, 31 January 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sound Logo[edit]

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

RE: Rugops skull white background.jpg[edit]

Thanks for bringing it up. I took it myself while visiting the Natural History Museum of Milan and removed the background before posting it. Mariomassone (talk) 07:18, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Nice, I see you've added your name as author, the "unknown" was what was confusing, hehe. FunkMonk (talk) 12:05, 1 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Too long Flickr names[edit]

Hello! I found here your report from 2017 about the problem of the Upload Wizard with handling too long Flickr filenames. I'm still having the same problem, so I opened a bug report on Phabricator here, in case you are interested. Mbkv717 (talk) 12:05, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
