categorisation of JWB-settings.js

FYI, User:Jeff G./JWB-settings.js is getting categorised in Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by Sfan00 IMG which was deleted on 5 May. As such that category is showing up in Special:WantedCategories which is not helpful for those trying to clear that backlog. Could you do whatever is needed to stop it categorising - I'm not sure, but it may just need a WP:Purge or null edit or something?? TIA Le Deluge (talk) 08:53, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

@Le Deluge: I am not sure how a user .js page can be categorized, but I think I fixed the issue.   — Jeff G. ツ 11:56, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Cheers - no idea either, it must be parsing the Javascript somehow, but glad you found a way to sort it. It takes a certain kind of OCD to work on these backlogs in the first place! <g> Le Deluge (talk) 12:15, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Acerca de subir videos para una pagina de Wikipedia

Estimado Jeff, me dices que intente subir el video usando wikipedia cero y que debo usar una conexion medida, o algo asi entendi del texto, dado que es la primera vez que uso wikipedia, no tengo idea de nada, al parecer mientras mas investigo mas dificil es, por favor, ¿me puedes compartir algun tutorial en español? atte 200.77.251.62 (talk) 19:23, 22 August 2018 (UTC) Enrique Núñez

About uploading videos for a Wikipedia page Dear Jeff, you tell me to try to upload the video using wikipedia zero and that I must use a measured connection, or something like that I understood the text, since it is the first time I use wikipedia, I have no idea of anything, apparently the more I research more difficult is, please, can you share a tutorial in Spanish?

Wikipedia Zero (WP0) le permite editar Wikipedia y otros proyectos de la Fundación Wikimedia (WMF) sin costo alguno debido a los acuerdos entre proveedores de servicios de Internet móvil como Actinver SA de CV y WMF. Muchas personas se han aprovechado de la generosidad de esos acuerdos para subir videos protegidos por derechos de autor que violan los derechos de los titulares de derechos de autor de que WP0 ya no se puede usar para subir videos a Wikimedia Commons. Incluso si usa una conexión medida (como un punto de acceso WiFi) para cargar, muchos formatos de video populares están restringidos porque todavía tienen patentes activas, pero puede convertir usando c:Commons:video2commons/es.   — Jeff G. ツ 23:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia Zero (WP0) permits you to edit Wikipedia and the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) at no cost due to agreements between Mobile Internet Service Providers like Actinver SA de CV and the WMF. So many people have taken advantage of the generosity of those agreements to upload copyrighted videos in violation of the rights of copyright holders that WP0 can no longer be used to upload videos to Wikimedia Commons. Even if you use a metered connection (like a WiFi Hotspot) to upload, many popular video formats are restricted because they still have active patents, but you can convert using c:Commons:video2commons.   — Jeff G. ツ 23:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Userpage in category redirect

User:Jeff G./JWB-settings.js is populating Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by Sfan00 IMG but this is a redirect to Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons reviewed by a human and the system is unable to process it. Can you amend the page so it appears in the correct category? Thanks in advance! Timrollpickering 22:58, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

@Timrollpickering and Le Deluge: Regretfully, I still have not figured out how that page is in any cat in the first place since User talk:Jeff G./Archives/2018/August#categorisation of JWB-settings.js was archived.   — Jeff G. ツ 04:06, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Armaan Zorace

Hi Jeff, sorry to bother you. The draft above is over 6 weeks old and no reviewer's been able to pick it up yet. Would you mind taking the time to give it a review? Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 19:25, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

@Davykamanzi: Who is Shani Namah and what is their relationship to the subject? Why the name change? Where are the credits relative to Cannes documented?   — Jeff G. ツ 21:48, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: As far as I'm aware, Shani is an intermediary presumably working for the subject. I was unable to find sources on the name change, but it reflects the name the subject has used on recent projects as opposed to more previous ones. As for the credits, only the sources used and IMDb credit the subject; neither the film nor the subject has an official website providing that information first-hand (though then again that would be using a primary source).
