వాడుకరి చర్చ:MGA73/File renaming

Discusion

వాడుకరి:MGA73, వాడుకరి:C1K98V: I noticed some discrepancies in some file names.

1. File naming convention for the mandal maps of Andhra Pradesh should not be like "pre 2016". It should be "pre 2022". This is applicable to all the red linked files as of this version of the page, and also to the future renames. (All the files which are already moved to Commons (blue links) are GOOD).
2. Some files seem to have wrong new names. Ex: Item #800 - "Srikakulam_mandals_Laveru_pre 2016.png". The old file "Srikakulam_mandals_outline06.png" was actually used in Parvatheepuram mandalam as per the page history. In that case the files should have been renamed to "Srikakulam_mandals_Parvatheepuram_pre 2022.png". Similar is the case with "Srikakulam_mandals_Ranastalam_pre 2016.png". It should have been renamed to "Srikakulam_mandals_Makkuva_pre 2022.png". Can you please check back with your source.

వాడుకరి:Chaduvari I have fixed the year as you said. I'm sorry that I added wrong new file names. But I tried to validate again. All the source available on google states the same what I have added. Also found about these en:File:Mandals-srikakulam.jpg, which states 38 not 37, so 1 file is missing here. Please guide me what to do next. Thanks.

Also, please confirm if rest new file names are all okay or not so that వాడుకరి:MGA73 can proceed further and I can move files to Commons. Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 08:50, 10 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

@C1K98V, @MGA73 - Thanks for the updates. It seems the users who are familiar with these maps are busy with other tasks. I will work on these files and add the new file names & correct the file names wherever necessary. But I may take a little time for this - may be a week or 10 days - as I have to check the page histories and, if necessary, other reliable sources too. Please bear with me. Thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 09:11, 10 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

Thanks to you, that you were quick to find out the new files names are wrong. I had checked thrice after you informed, but no change on the result. Sorry C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 09:18, 10 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

Hi వాడుకరి:Chaduvari! Thank you for checking (and fixing) and also thank you C1K98V for your work. About File:Srikakulam_mandals_outline17.png that shows both Sarubijjili and Lakshminarsupeta mandals the map should be split in two but as an easy solution we could name it File:Srikakulam_mandals_Sarubujjili_and_Lakshminarsupeta_pre 2022.png and leave a note in the file description that the map should be split up in two. That will leave the serie of maps intact but also tell any users that it is not 100 % correct now. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 18:04, 10 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, that sounds good. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 03:01, 11 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari Can you consider checking the first set of file name as well Anantapur if that's okay. So that @MGA73 can proceed adding description with Bot and I can move the files to commons. And I will keep on adding new files you can check and confirm, these way we can ease the task. Thank you, Have a great day C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 03:08, 11 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

@C1K98V, @MGA73 - The new names for all the Districts of Andhra Pradesh (excepyt the 109 deleted files) is also done. You can now move them to Commons under these new names. Thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 14:08, 12 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

@చదువరి Great! I have added the description so they are ready to move. Do you think the deleted maps really are wrong or were they just outdated? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 15:30, 12 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, the deleted files have their outer border (the District border) incorrectly drawn. They deserve the punishment :-) చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 01:06, 13 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

చదువరి and C1K98V. I think all files under Rename should be ready to move to Commons now and all files under Commons should be ready to delete locally. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 09:11, 15 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, @C1K98V: I will delete all the files together after completing Move process for the remaining files also. Thanks. __చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 11:11, 15 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

File importer

Hello @వాడుకరి:Chaduvari @MGA73, due to network issue and rainy weather I messed up with few files of East Godavari 55,56 and 60 due to fileimporter lag. I apologise for the msitake. C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 06:52, 30 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

Hi C1K98V I think it should be fixed now. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 14:41, 30 జూన్ 2022 (UTC)

Comments about names

@C1K98V, you have send me a ping about names. Was that ping for me or @వాడుకరి:Chaduvari? It seems to me that the questions have been solved so only issue was a rename of a file on Commons (c:File:Krishna mandals outline48.png). Let me know if there is anything else. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 07:48, 16 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

Admin attention

Hello @వాడుకరి:Chaduvari, @MGA73 I hope both of you're doing well. Actually I'm quite curious how admins gonna delete the 700+ files or pages. Hope you dont mind, but I would like to request you to do the honour with tools. Thanks, have a good day. C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 04:00, 26 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

@C1K98V, @MGA73 - Thanks for finishing the "move". There are 2 categories - one with about 900 files and the other with about 100 files. Twinkle batch delete can be used to delete these files (I used it in a previous case to delete article pages). I am Keen to know if you have anything else in mind. Thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 07:58, 26 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

I just noticed that 68 files does not have a now commons template: this quary --MGA73 (చర్చ) 08:43, 26 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

2 files was moved but problem is that Chittoor links to Anantapur. So we need to fix. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 08:56, 26 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

User:Chaduvari could you check వాడుకరి:MGA73/File_renaming#Chittoor_mandals and confirm that "New name 2" looks right? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 09:24, 26 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, the names in the New name 2 column look to be good. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 01:33, 28 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari I believe you're occupied with a lot of task, so common mistakes can happen, but after quick search I find Google doesn't list any city or mandal as Chittooru. So I think @MGA73, you need to update file description again. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 04:33, 30 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

C1K98V en:Chittoor mandal? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 08:28, 30 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

Aha Chittooru -> Chittoor. An extra "u". --MGA73 (చర్చ) 08:42, 30 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

@C1K98V, technically I was correct in my recommendation. I went by the exact spelling of the name. Words in Telugu (Names, proper names, verbs, adjectives, whatever) end with a vowel (e.g Chittooru). It is called ajaMtaM in Samskritam and Telugu. The halantam version (which end with a consonent e.g. Chittoor) is the corrupted version of the same. We just keep watching while our names are being corrupted in English and other languages and use the same. Hence we deserve Chittoor, Nellore, Guntur, Kavur in the place of Chittooru, Nelluru, Gunturu, Kavuru etc.

So, I agree with the changes you made. Thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 01:42, 31 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Chaduvari I realised that I will get this reply only. The vowel part, while browsing google found Banglore and Bengaluru. So this comment was expected "end with vowel". Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 02:37, 31 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

Great that it seems to be fixed :-) --MGA73 (చర్చ) 07:06, 31 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari All files are moved now and I have checked that they are not in use: https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/65651 so you can delete them now.

C1K98V is having problems editing (again) (reported on IRC). Could you unblock him (if blocked) and grant an ip block exception? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 07:15, 31 జూలై 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari Yes all files moved to commons and few new file names has been tweaked. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 07:08, 2 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@C1K98V, I still see some red links. I assume those files are moved to a different name. But, to be sure, can you please change those red links to the correct file links, before I delete the local files. Thanks. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 07:22, 2 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

Yeah sure I will. These was the only pending task when I came to know about my editing issue. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 07:25, 2 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari Task accomplished. C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 08:32, 2 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@C1K98V, @MGA73 I have notified the community about the proposed mass-delete. The deletion will take place on Aug 9, and will let you know once it is done. You guys did a wonderful job. Thank you both for the time you spent on this task. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 09:08, 2 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

Great, lets see what happens. I think other files moved to Commons should also be deleted. But it might be easier to delete once the maps are deleted. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 17:25, 2 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, @C1K98V: All the files in those two temp categories are deleted and the categories are also deleted. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 04:47, 11 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

Hi చదువరి! Thanks a lot! That is great :-)

If you have a little time to spare there are 40 files that are also on Commons:

• Category:All Wikipedia files with the same name on Wikimedia Commons: 2
• Category:All Wikipedia files with a different name on Wikimedia Commons: 3

If you could check if they are moved correctly to Commons and delete them it would be good. The number may of course rise if C1K98V move a few more files to Commons. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 17:33, 11 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73: Files in both the Categories are deleted, except the below two:

• దస్త్రం:Varasiddhi Vinayaka Temple, Padmavathi Gardens, Phase-II, Poranki.jpg‎: This is of much better resolution than the Commons file. You may better replace Commons file with this one and then delete this.
• దస్త్రం:Kanpur Central.jpg‎: The Commons file has been deleted, perhaps, because of the poor resolution. Hence I retained this file.

__ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 02:09, 12 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

Hi చదువరి! First file is fixed so now it can be deleted. Second file was deleted because original uploaded on English Wikipedia uploaded many copyvios. So I think this file should be deleted too. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 05:17, 12 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

 చేసాను __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 05:39, 12 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari and @C1K98V: Perfect! If the file is on Commons with a different name we should remember to change the pages that uses the file before it is deleted. Example Special:Diff/3620775. I have not checked the other files. If one of you have time to do it it would be great. And if not I will try to check after work. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 05:47, 12 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, I didn't give it a thought, probably because it was taken care of in the case of map files. I will check it later, if you couldn't find time for that. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 06:54, 12 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari When I see దస్త్రం:Gunturrlyoffice.jpg I see the text "(File:Rail Vikas Bhavan, Guntur.jpg పేరుతో కామన్సులో నకలు దస్త్రం ఉంది)" so I guess the file on Commons is File:Rail Vikas Bhavan, Guntur.jpg. If that is correct I can fix but I can't check. Only you can :-) Did you add the text manually or was it automatically? --MGA73 (చర్చ) 15:30, 12 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, I added the text manually. I will check it. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 03:36, 13 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

The deleted files (which have a different name than the Commons file) are checked and necessary changes are made in 5 pages. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 05:53, 13 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari awesome! I wonder if we need a new page or place for future talks about checking files. Is there a central page somewhere? There were other users that said they would help but so far I have not noticed other work than work coordinated from here. That does of course not mean that no other work was done - its just not very visible. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 07:28, 13 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@MGA73, Not much work was done by others on this specific task. But User:Arjunaraoc is pre-eminent in the area of images. He had done lot of work on images, some of which was done in coordination with you also. And, regarding a central page for image related tasks, we do not have any as of now. But we can have a new project setup for this. Of course, I have setup a project for the current task also, but it was only for the record purpose. __ చదువరి (చర్చ • రచనలు) 08:12, 13 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)

@Chaduvari if you think more users would join if we make a new page then feel free to create one somewhere.

There will pop files up in the 2 NowCommons categories. Those with a different name might be used in వాడుకరి:MGA73/Sandbox. Never mind that you can delete them anyway. It is an attempt to find out how many of the uploads by వాడుకరి:Bhaskaranaidu that is allready uploaded to Commons. The counterpart is c:User:MGA73/Sandbox. If confirmed that the 2 files are the same then file on Commons could be fixed like c:Special:Diff/682157056 and then the file can be deleted locally. It will only work for files with the same name so you should not see many with a different name. --MGA73 (చర్చ) 12:31, 14 ఆగస్టు 2022 (UTC)
