Please mark as patrolled

Hi Tvpuppy,
Thank you for helping fight vandalism on Commons. Just a reminder, don't forget to mark the bad edit you undid as patrolled (see also COM:EDITPATROL). Doing so will remove the edit from the unpatrolled edits list and reduce our backlog, and thus prevents double work. See also Commons:Counter Vandalism Unit. Thanks again, Shaan Sengupta^Talk 04:17, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

The recent Khamenei related vandalism you reverted, particularly the nonsense DRs. Plz mark the revisions as patrolled when undoing them. It removes it from the unpatrolled edits list. Also, when you remove (any or even) these vandal DR notices from file pages, make sure to close the DRs first. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 04:19, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Shaan Sengupta. Thank you for letting me know, I will keep that in mind for the future. I see you have already marked them as patrolled and closed the DRs, so thank you for that. Thanks again for the reminder and your effort in counter vandalism work. Tvpuppy (talk) 04:26, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

Translation request

Hi, Thank you for helping in translating Wiki Loves folklore in your language. Can you please help in translating the central notice banner contents using the below link.

• Title and Button
• CTA

✝iѵɛɳ२२४०^{†ลℓк †๏ мэ} 07:18, 18 January 2026 (UTC)

Apologies for the late reply, not sure how but somehow I have missed this message. Seems like currently the central notice banner has already been well translated in my language (Chinese). Anyways, feel free to let me know if there any help needed for translation in the future. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 00:48, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Lingua Libre's RenameOrReplace.js

Hello Tvpuppy, hello @Ardzun, You or some active member of your community on Lingua Libre may someday be interested by this tool and its new tutorial : Help:Lingua Libre/Corrections#Rename_Or_Replace_(RoR). It helps to mass rename Lingua Libre's filenames or to mass replace their texts. It applies in a list or category of files, up to the user. Yug (talk) 22:57, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

The tutorial page looks really useful. Thanks for letting me know about this. Tvpuppy (talk) 02:02, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Add missing brackets

Hi. Thank you for adding missing brackets (actually curly braces) like in Special:Diff/1170114928. Would it be possible for you to also fix the underlying problem of right curly braces in converted speedy templates like in Special:Diff/1170288161?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 07:36, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello @Jeff G., thanks for letting me know that they are called curly braces (I thought they are also called brackets). I will fix the ones in converted speedy templates, I didn't realise these have problems as well, but before I did wondered where the missing braces have gone. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 11:49, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Good job! I just went back to check the affected files, and it seems you have already fixed all of them. Let me know if I have missed any. I will keep this problem in mind for the future, as to remember to fix both the DR page and the file itself. Thanks. Tvpuppy (talk) 12:00, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

FYI

Assume bad faith - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:14, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know that the user is likely an LTA sock, I assumed (in good faith) that the user may be a beginner user, since I wasn't aware of their previous pattern/behavior. Thanks again for the report at COM:AN/V. Tvpuppy (talk) 00:20, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

my apologies

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Village_pump/Technical&diff=prev&oldid=1179360321: I was doing a copy-paste to ping you, and must have pasted when I meant to copy and not noticed. - Jmabel ! talk 21:12, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

@Jmabel No worries, from the beginning I assumed it was an unintentional edit. Thanks for the message. Tvpuppy (talk) 21:18, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

Republic of China laws

The conversation in the Village Pump has been archived: What are your thoughts about the proposal? We need some kind of consensus or improved feedback in order to move forward.--TaronjaSatsuma (talk) 17:22, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello @TaronjaSatsuma, I don't really understand the current table you created, so I did my own calculations, which you can see in the summary below. I am not completely sure that the calculations are correct, but you can see my analysis of the copyright laws in the collapsed section below.

Timeline of ROC copyright laws and the difference with the previous version

1928-05-14 law Works only have copyright when registered (Article 1) Copyright terms calculated from the publish date (Article 11) Copyright terms (per Article 4 to 10): Individual: life+30 Joint works: life of last author+30 Publish after death: publish+30 Legal entity: publish+30 Anonymous/pseudonym: publish+30 Photos and films: publish+10 Translations: publish+20 1944-04-27 changes Anonymous/pseudonym: registration not allowed anymore (Article 8) 1985-07-10 changes Automatic copyright when created (Article 4) Copyright terms calculated from the creation date (Article 15) Changed copyright terms (per Article 8 to 14): Individual: life+30 Joint works: life of last author+30 Legal entity: create+30 Photos and films: create+30 Translate: create+30 These copyright terms changes apply to (per Article 50-1 of the 1990 text): All works created after 1985-07-10 Registered works still within their copyright terms on 1985-07-10 Unregistered works published between 1965-07-10 and 1985-07-10 These copyright terms changes do not apply to: Registered works entered PD before 1985-07-10 Unregistered works published before 1965-07-10 1992-06-10 changes Copyright terms calculated from publish date (Article 30 to 35) Copyright terms expires after 31 December of the final year (Article 35) Changed copyright terms (per Article 30 to 34) Individual: life+50 Publish between 40-50 years after individual's death: publish+10 Joint works: life of last author+50 Anonymous/pseudonym: publish+50 Legal entity: publish+50 Photos and films: publish+50 These copyright terms changes apply to: All works created after 1985-07-10 (Article 107) Registered works still within their copyright terms on 1992-06-10 under the copyright terms of 1985 text (Article 106) Unregistered works published between 1965-07-10 and 1985-07-10 that still within their copyright terms on 1992-06-10 under the copyright terms of 1985 text (Article 106) These copyright terms changes do not apply to (per Article 106): Registered works that have entered PD under the copyright terms of 1985 text before 1992-06-10 Registered works that entered PD before 1985-07-10 Unregistered works published between 1965-07-10 and 1985-07-10 that entered PD under the copyright terms of 1985 text before 1992-06-10 Unregistered works published before 1965-07-10 1998-01-21 changes Legal entity works: if unpublished within 50 years after creation, copyright expires 50 years after creation This copyright terms changes applies and not applies to the same group of works mentioned in the 1992 section above (per Article 106) 2002-01-01 (WTO date) Article 106-1 to 106-3 of the 1998 text begins implementing (Article 117) 1998 copyright terms now applies to works that have not "enjoyed copyright protection" by previous versions of the law (Article 106-1), these include unregistered works published before 1965-07-10

The main two reasons for registered work to be in PD in Taiwan on 2002-01-01 are:

• Registered works that have entered PD under the copyright terms of 1985 text before 1992-06-10
• Registered works that entered PD before 1985-07-10

and these works have to be published before 2002-01-01 (URAA date) to be PD in the US.

In summary, registered works that are PD in Taiwan and the US on 2002-01-01:

• Registered individual works: author's death before 1962-06-10 and published before 2002-01-01
• Registered joint works: last author's death before 1962-06-10 and published before 2002-01-01
• Registered works by legal entities: works published before 1955-07-10, or works created before 1962-06-10 and published before 2002-01-01
• Registered photos and films: works published before 1975-07-10, or works created before 1962-06-10 and published before 2002-01-01
• Registered translations: works published before 1965-07-10, or works created before 1962-06-10 and published before 2002-01-01

The terms for registered photos here mostly matches with the terms in {{PD-ROC-oldphoto}}, so I am somewhat confident in my calculations. Also, apologies for the minimal formatting, I don't have much time to display this information in a clearer format. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks.
