Undeleting File:Ragusian libertine.jpg

Ten years ago, you deleted File:Ragusian libertine.jpg because of a lack of licensing information. The article Ragusian libertine says that the coin was only issued between 1791 and 1795, so that the image would not be covered by copyright. If you can, please undelete the image so that it can be added to the article Ragusian libertine. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:56, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

@Eastmain Having looked at the deleted content, the licensing concerns weren't about the subject (the coins are, as you say, out of copyright) but with the authorship of the image itself. The photo has a copyright but no source nor author were given so there was no way to see if the photo itself is public domain or appropriately licenced. Nthep (talk) 12:00, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.
