User:Kmarius

Please unblock this file file in order to update (I am the author), thank you. --Kmarius

 Not done. We cannot do anything, because the image is not protected in Commons. Instead, it is in Polish Wikipedia main page. All images in Polish Wikipedia main page are automatically protected. You must wait, until the image is taken down from pl.wiki main page and after that you can edit the image. Taivo (talk) 18:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Kmarius: If you want a specific change while the file is protected, please mention it here and I (or another admin) can make it for you. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G. that advice was posted after I uploaded that. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 22:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Immanuelle: The bad name advice wasn't.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:02, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. Is your claim that poolcore.png is a badly named image? I think it is possibly the most fitting name out there for that image. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since the name warning I uploaded these images
the last is more of a meta thing which is resolved so might be worth deleting. But all of them appear to be clear informative named images. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Done Poolcore deleted as out of scope and unused. Screencap deleted per author request. Please take this as a last warning regarding the poorly named images, such as Poolcore.png. Bedivere (talk) 23:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bedivere was that a poorly named image? It seems like it was the best possible name for that image. I am actually quite confused as to why you deleted that image just now when the consensus on the page seemed to be to keep it Commons:Deletion requests/File:Poolcore.png Did you read the linked pages? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Deletions are not about consensus, but rather, on the weight of the arguments presented. The file had no use, additionally. And yes, it was a poorly named image, it could have been named, for example, AI-generated poolscape, rendered by Dall-E. Bedivere (talk) 23:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bedivere AI generated example of poolcore generated using Dall-E would be a more descriptive title. But the purpose of the image was to convey the poolcore aesthetic as described here https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Poolcore so not having poolcore in the title would be a non-descriptive file name. I am unsure whether there is a requirement to mention an image is ai generated in the title. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:23, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't a requirement, but it indeed makes it a more descriptive title, which also does include poolcore in the title. Anyway, the file is deleted as oos. Bedivere (talk) 23:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Immanuelle: In a word, yes. What is it supposed to convey? What did you prompt the AI with? What does "Poolcore" mean to you?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:15, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. It was supposed to convey the poolcore aesthetic as described here https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Poolcore I forget the exact prompt I used, as it was almost a month ago that I posted it, but it was based on the content of this page. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The prompt was also far too long to include in the title. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Immanuelle: You could have included it in the description.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. is it within the guidelines that the prompt needs to be included? With this discussion here and both of mine being deleted I don't think I ever will upload ai generated images here again, but I never took that as a rule here before. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can upload AI generated images. The problem with your uploads is that both were not in use, not in scope and had to be deleted. Next time try uploading an image with a clear educational purpose that could be used in an eventual article. Neither of these files had such an objective. Bedivere (talk) 23:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Bedivere there was a very clear educational purpose of the poolcore image. It was to demonstrate the poolcore aesthetic. The description said such. The other one didn't have a clear educational purpose though. So I am confused about why it was deleted. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 23:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Immanuelle: Is there an educational article about poolcore, say on Wikipedia, in the offing? https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Poolcore is unsourced fancruft. Please read en:WP:42.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 23:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, as Jeff said, there is no use on Wikimedia projects, and I don't think an article about "poolcore" is getting created anytime soon. Bedivere (talk) 23:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
