File:Megalodon teeth.jpg

The file you created way back in 2008's now a deadlink, I tried looking on the wayback machine but I couldn't find anything (mostly because that thing confuses me). Could you help me out? Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 22:20, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Hmmm, seems the original Flickr photographer deleted it, but it should be ok, since we have this: "This image, originally posted to Flickr, was reviewed on November 10, 2009 by the administrator or reviewer File Upload Bot (Magnus Manske), who confirmed that it was available on Flickr under the stated license on that date." Doesn't seem the Wayback Machine archives Flickr. FunkMonk (talk) 22:46, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Should I just flag it as a deadlink and leave it? Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 02:37, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, if the sourcing/license isn't in question, it really isn't a problem. The problem would arise if we couldn't establish whether the image had ever been sourced/licensed as indicated, but here we at least have "proof" in the bot-review. FunkMonk (talk) 03:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, while I got you here, File:Megalodon jaws on display at the National Baltimore Aquarium.jpg is also a deadlink but it has OTRS permission. Is it still okay to leave it with a deadlink flag and move on? Dunkleosteus77 (talk) 03:25, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I'd say that in any case where sourcing/licensing of an image has been confirmed independently by "authorities" at the time it was online, its legitimacy should be beyond doubt. FunkMonk (talk) 03:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Commons Conference project

Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

Looks interesting, I'll have a look. FunkMonk (talk) 02:04, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Old page move vandalism

Hi, I discovered that much of this talk page's history was deleted at Commons:Shut up motherfucker so I did a history merge back to here. Guanaco (talk) 07:54, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Haha, I don't even remember that! But thanks. FunkMonk (talk) 08:17, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

You have strange friends, FunkMonk. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 21:53, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I think that guy used to email me too long ago, I tried to make him do constructive edits on the English Wikipedia, but he was impossible to control... FunkMonk (talk) 22:20, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Sure looks like it. We all got our followers. More or less annoying ones. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 22:34, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
