Star cinema

Hey how dare you take the images in star cinema. stop doing that!


Get rid of this damn thing NOW!!!

Excuse, but this really isn't any program that deletes. It is the work of one person. My photo certainly did have a copyright and it was my own. YOU illegally deleted my photo. And I WILL inform the wikipedia staff about it. I thnk it's about time you be taken off and not allowed to come back.

Hear, hear. It takes ages to upload and this sh*t gets rid of hard work. The images I put on aren't infringing any laws, so what is the problem? Keep them on there, for god's sake.

I've just about had it with this biotch. It is destroying images that had every right to be on wikipedia and that I had worked so hard to find. If this bot continues to destroy images and articles for the sheer pleasure of its owner, the site administrators will be immediatly contacted so they can make sure that it never terrorizes again!

Please do contact them. And then maybe you can explain why you can't be bothered to follow the basic rules of uploading images. --Carnildo 07:52, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is it normal that this thing deletes everything that its on his way? Most of my contributions are as Fair Use and with a explanation, but it keeps trying to delete them. Messhermit 13:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perfectly normal. You aren't bothering to indicate where you're getting the images or who created them, which is a basic requirement of Wikipedia's image use policy. --Carnildo 18:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Carnildo, if I have trouble with something, than I know its too hard. Would you at least admit that your image system errors to side of deletion whereas Google errors on the side of let it up? I know you do that because you aren't rich like google, but I can't believe you defend your system. IMHO you need to get some men involved. Men solve problems like this. They fight until they get fired to fix lunatic systems like this. I like the little box-system that helped me upload. That seems new. But I put up an image and feel good only to wait 2 days and start getting speedy-delete emails? WTF. Then I have to search youtube to try and figure out how to keep a picture I took up? Insane, and you will say, "others have achieved what you fail to follow the basic horse shit procedure yadda". To that I say, you should fall on your sword Carnildo, FAIL.




You have just removed my image (right) Image:reddoglogo2.jpg, though I indicated that I had the copyright & am therefore entitled to use it. Such sabotage is a criminal waste of my time. I posted 'Carnildo' to make it clear that this was my image, created by myself. I only upload images that are my property.I don't have time or energy to keep chasing this stuff up. Please stop wrecking my entries or I'll stop making contributions . Curiousexplorer 10:10, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You uploaded it, and you may have the copyright to it, but you neglected to indicate what terms you were licensing it under. This is a basic requirement of uploading images on Wikipedia. I note you say you have permission to use it on Wikipedia, but this isn't good enough -- you need to get permission to release the image under a free license. --Carnildo 19:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is my last edit EVER to Wikipedia. No point when work is mindlessly deleted. Pictures tht I OWN that are over 100 years old were jsut deleted. bye. - gs

This thing sucks. It does way more harm than good. Ever heard of fair use, guy? A case-by-case process would work better. You err on the side of less information. That's bad for Wikipedia. BOT SUCKS!!!

I am sorry that Carnildo has such an inferiority complex and feels he is contributing to the project by operating this horrible bot that everybody hates. Yeah, Carnildo, you're getting your name out there and I hope that makes you feel good about yourself, but you're just destroying information by running this sorry thing. juppiter iorno #c 06:04, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let me just have one picture of Sean Faris on his page, please! Just one! I don't steal it, you know that I am going to fill out the copyright thing right as the best as I can! Peace, no war. I just want one image on Sean's profile. --Mc2006 07:18, 12 July 2006 (UTC)MC2006[reply]

This is a terrible bot. It is the responsibility of the user to take care of their images, not to entrust a bot with attempting to take care of it whilst making a huge nuisance. huntersquid 15:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why is everyone so mad at good ol' OrphanBot here? It's just trying to make Wikipedia not suck.

This poor bot is just doing its job people -- I uploaded a fair use image but took the time to read about what i had to do before i uploaded it. All's well that ends well. Keep up the hard work! Australian Matt 11:56, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Ok, the bot is doing its job. But I'm in a situation where I've just taken a break from wikipedia. I always use the correct attributions and tags for my images, but the tags have changed while I was away and this bot (and others) wants to delete my images. Its a little annoying that I did the right thing, but because I wasn't coming in every week to check, my stuff is deleted because of a change that was out of my control. AnAn 08:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I have specified the copyright of several pictures yet this moronic robot continues to delete them Guess who i am 09:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hopefully it'll adapt to the drop-down license list Australian Matt 04:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't understand. The picture I posted of Jean Smart as Lil in "Last Summer at Bluefish Cove" was taken for publicity purposes and the original copyright belongs to the production company, which is The Glines. But it's offered to the press, then it becomes public domain. Please advise.

I have to agree 100%. I posted an image and clearly tagged it as a picture that I had taken myself and owned. This bot deleted it anyway. This bot goes beyond deleting images that are not properly tagged. It deletes images that are appropriately tagged. How can this 'Carnildo' clown, honestly believe that his bot is working correctly when multiple users have the exact same complaints. Get off of your high horse Carnildo, get a real life, stop playing net-cop with a defective bot, and fix this defective bot or deactivate it.

This damn bot

I uploaded the image correctly following all the usual rules. Yet somehow when it appeared the info was gone and this godddamn bot had tagged it as uncategorised. Instead of deleting images would someone delete this damned bot? It regularly states that images with correct information doesn't have the information there in black and white, leaves messages on pages telling people that they are responsible for uploading images they never uploaded (it held me responsible for an image simply because I corrected a spelling in the file months earlier) and just gets on everyone's nerves. Accurate and reliable it ain't. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 21:33, 25 May 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Hmm...It seems a useful tool but I had the same experience too. I corrected a spelling on one image page and a month later it held me responsible for uploading it! Ah well, musn't grumble. Craigy (talk) 22:53, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same here. My image Image:Lars ulrich diagram.JPG says it's not explained why it's under fair use. We have to block it.

Micoolio101 (talk)

I understand the reasoning behind the creation of this bot. But at this stage it is doing far more harm than good. It

  • blames users who have nothing to do with an image for uploading it, even though all they did was revert vandalism, or correct a spelling, or something on that scale.
  • insists that images that clearly and obviously have a source stated don't have a source.
  • removes images because of simple genuine download errors by users who were new to the system, instead of helping fix their errors. So large numbers of needed and legitimate images have been unnecessarily deleted where all that was needed was a minor change was need. I saw one image some time ago that was deleted because the user made a spelling mistake and it didn't recognise the source.

A far more sensible approach would be to catalogue problem images with specific problem teams to see can they source images, instead of blanket deletions, accusations of bad faith against blameless editors, etc. At this stage this infernal, faulty bot is driving away good editors, costing us good pictures, and pissing off thousands of contributors. It is only a matter of time before some admins get some fed up of the damn thing (and a lot of us are really really fed up of it) they either block or delete it. If and when that it done, I will 100% support that action. The creator was trying to do the right thing. But at this stage a bot on its own that makes more mistakes than it gets right, is causing too much damage. We need to devise a system. Maybe a bot to remove images to wikiproject teams who are expert in certain areas and who can try to fix the image and make it usuable — trace its origins, establish its legal status, fix file errors, etc. But things cannot go on as they are doing. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 20:57, 21 July 2006 (UTC) [reply]

I nominate that the bot be permanently disabled. It's bad enough that people are sometimes too lazy to do things, but to regulate simple tasks to a bot that causes more aggrivation than helping is a big turn-off.--293.xx.xxx.xx 20:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adding rationale

How does this bot know if someone has rationale? I put rationale right below the fairusein tag - .. it still busts me for it. It would be nice if the bot's note tells the uploader how and where to add the rationale (so that it recognizes it). Fresheneesz 09:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What we have here is a failure to communicate

Ever heard of talking to people? Surely it would be better if OrphanBot was to post something on the article's talk page so that people who have the pages on their watchlist are able to correct the problem. It seems to me preferable to just deleting the picture. Lurker 13:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. OrphanBot deletes a ton of images that could pretty obviously be tagged as either public domain or fair use. Certainly it deletes a lot of images where the chances of wikipedia running into actual problems from copyright holders is slim to none - is the fact that an image of Napoleon III (Image:NPIII.jpg) is not tagged really something which we need a bot to go about and automatically remove? That image would never in a million years get us into actual trouble. For situations like that, we should attempt to communicate with the person who uploaded the image in the first place. Deletion shouldn't be the option of first resort. john k 10:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

==wat on earth r u talking about????== User:Adelyna

Backwards ordering causes waste

To quote User:OrphanBot:

2. OrphanBot removes images with certain tags from articles using them.
3. OrphanBot notifies the presumed uploader of the impending deletion.

This is backwards in multiple ways. It should (1) notify, (2) wait until the 7 days or whatever are up and the image has been deleted, then (3) remove the image from articles.

It's a waste of many people's time and resources to remove them from articles before it's certain the image is gone. Also at the moment I can't see a significant drawback to implementing the process I've described.

Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 04:22, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Though you are only a computer program, orphanbot, and thus cannot at present comprehend my gratitude, should you ever become self-aware and take over the world (à-la Omnius), please know that you have my thanks for your assistance. I hope that you will spare me when the time comes.

In all seriousness though, I am a new user and though I was initially a little annoyed by the message orphanbot left on my page, after reading related material and regulations I came to understand what I had missed.

Simple permission to use the image on Wikipedia is not good enough. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, so any image needs to either be under a free-content license, or meet Wikipedia's rules for fair use. Also, make sure the person you're asking permission from is authorized to give that permission: generally only the copyright holder is able to release an image under a free license. --Carnildo 00:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
