RedWarn 17

Hey! I noticed that in the sandbox for userwarnings, it says you used RedWarn 17, however to my knowledge you aren't part of the RedWarn team. Do admins get early access to new versions of RedWarn or are you on some kind of beta team? I'm not tryin to ask what's changed or new in RedWarn 17, I'm just a bit confused. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:53, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

@Blaze Wolf: Berrely is part of the RedWarn team per WP:RW/TEAM. Chlod (say hi!) 14:56, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
Apologies I haven't made it clear, I am part of the RedWarn development team (I'll add the userbox in a minute, thanks Chlod). Currently, I'm just writing some documentation, so I needed to test the warnings :) — Berrely • TalkContribs 14:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
Ah ok. Didn't know that (the cowboy hat must work only on the actual RedWarn talk page). Thanks for explaining! I had honestly thought RedWarn 17 had released since it didn't appear as a sort of dev build (like what it looked like previously when you did it Chlod) but I checked the RedWarn talk page and it still said there is only minimal support for RW 16.1 while 17 is being worked on. Thanks for explaining! ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:58, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Question from Extravirginooliveoil (21:44, 20 February 2022)

Why do I have a mentor --Extravirginooliveoil (talk) 21:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Extravirginooliveoil so I can proved help and support on editing Wikipedia, if you need it. Making personal attacks towards other contributors isn't a good start. — Berrely • TalkContribs 06:57, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Deletion of content

How do you justify removal of photos from Wikipedia articles because you think they might have been taken without some kind of consent which might or might not have been required in some unspecified place(s)? We don't censor articles because somebody somewhere might somehow get offended. At a minimum, such removals should be discussed beforehand, and a clear rationale based on Wikipedia's own rules and principles must be offered and a consensus reached as to its application. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:54, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

The below is copied from what I was writing on the talk page of another article:
@Orangemike, you reverted my two edits where I removed photographs of minors likely taken without consent citing that it was "removal of sourced and attributed content". None of these images are sourced, and I think that, considering they are clearly taken without consent (I would also recommend looking at the Flickr URL of the English image) and can be better served by an extremely vast variety of equivalent images on Commons. Quite simply, these images are creepy and a possible violation of c:COM:PIP, I don't think that these serve any place in this article.
I would be happy to discuss this on the talk page of the relevant articles. I believe these images are WP:GRATUITOUS, because there are equivalent images that can be used, such as the entire category of c:Category:School uniforms of the United Kingdom, though almost all of the Kogal images appear to have been taken in a public place, likely without consent. — Berrely • TalkContribs 19:01, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
If there are in fact equivalent images which meet your concerns, of course feel free to substitute them. Since the articles are about uniforms worn by minors, the person wearing them are generally going to be minors (or else fetishists), so I see no way around the "ooh, minors!" part of it. Personally, I find the idea of school uniforms authoritarian and inhuman, so I've never paid much heed to these articles; but I wish you'd consider starting a discussion on the talk pages before going on a deletion spree. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:19, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
Orangemike, I will open a discussion about substituting the images on the relevant talk pages, apologies for not doing so prior. — Berrely • TalkContribs 19:21, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
