Hi.

I'm CptViraj, I'm a native speaker of Gujarati, near-native of Hindi, intermediate of English and I have basic understanding of Fiji Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, Bhojpuri, Haryanvi, Nepali.

I started contributing in May 2019, I'm a license reviewer and filemover. I usually tag obvious copyvios, broken redirects, inappropriate userpages, out of scope files for (speedy) deletion. I'm fimilar with all of general guidelines/policies and copyright policies of India. On the license reviewing side I review and interesting in reviewing Bollywood Hungama and easy GODL-India files only, but I have basic knowledge of YT and Flickr files too. I have learnt from my this mistake.

If promoted, I will help at COM:DR, COM:RFR, CAT:CV, CAT:PER, COM:AN, COM:LRR, CAT:MWUDIOV, etc maintenance tasks. I won't use my rights whenever i'm in doubt and will ask for advice.

Please feel free to ask questions, Thankyou! -- CptViraj (talk) 17:56, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Support I do have some suggestions, for example to be a little more explicit. For an admin it is sometimes good to just say "per above" or "because of what another person said", but in general it is best to restate things even when the appear to be obious. When a new user first comes across a person in position of power on Commons it should be a learning experience, not an attempt to guess what gods want at this particular time. But I find it a good sign that see the mistake that was done and to act to rectify it. I look forward to seeing CptViraj as an admin on our project and hope they will prove me correct. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 08:10, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• Would you please give your opinion on Commons:Deletion requests/File:Bloom's Taxonomy for Course Design and Teaching.pdf. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 18:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

  @Gone Postal: Thank you for commenting, I did give my opinion on the discussion page. -- CptViraj (talk) 04:10, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

  I have answered on that discussion page, could you please consider it and give your response. Thank you. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 07:05, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

  Hi, I just wanted to let you know that you will probably get the nomination even without my vote, but I wasn't trolling when I have asked for a response, I honestly was trying to make up my mind. You don't have to respond on the deletion request, if you think that it's better to respond here (or even on my talk page), but I would appreciate it if you do. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 05:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

  Ah apologize, somehow I didn't noticed your above comment. I'll continue on the DR page. -- CptViraj (talk) 06:23, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• Another question. When do you think that speedy deletion without a deletion discussion should be allowed? ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 07:06, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

  When the reason is uncontroversial and meets our speedy deletion criteria. And for F1 and F10, I personally believe that old files should go through DR process. -- CptViraj (talk) 08:39, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Question How would you respond if File:John_Muir_Trail_-_Yosemite_National_Park,_California,_USA_(27672489992).jpg was nominated for speedy deletion with the rationale: "derivative"? What would you take into consideration? --07:46, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

  @99of9: Thankyou for your question, here is my answer:

  As an admin: It is my own upload, so I won't make any actions. And if it wasn't my own upload, I will still leave it for another admin as I don't think it is a obvious copyvio, and currently I'm interested in performing actions for easy and obvious pages only.

  As a user/uploader: This image was part of a mass-upload I did from flickr, back then I wasn't that much fimilar with Commons copyright policies. I see that the drawing in the board could be copyrighted unless it is {{PD-old}}. I will try to find the history behind that drawing and if I failed, I will leave this to the admin. -- CptViraj (talk) 09:28, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Question How would you respond if File:Fontainebleau, France - Synagogue (16867666306).jpg was nominated for speedy deletion with the rationale: "derivative"? What would you take into consideration? --07:46, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

  @99of9: Thankyou for your question, here is my answer:

  As an admin: It is my own upload, so I won't make any actions. And if it wasn't my own upload, I will decline the speedy deletion request and will move it to DR as this is a FOP case, so F4 doesn't apply.

  As a user/uploader: This image was part of a mass-upload I did from flickr, back then I wasn't that much fimilar with Commons copyright policies. I don't see any non-free content in the image and I'm not fimilar with COM:FOP France so I will leave this to other users. -- CptViraj (talk) 09:28, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Question A photograph was taken in India in 1945, and the photographer died in 1980. Is the image acceptable for Commons, and why? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:31, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

  @King of Hearts: Thankyou for your question. It would be in the public domain in India per {{PD-India}} and {{PD-India-photo-1958}}, But any work originating in India must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both India and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. And for US I'm fimilar with TOO rules only, but I roughly read the PD rules after your question and I think the photograph would need to meet all the three requirements mentioned in {{PD-1996}}. For the note: As I said in my nomination "Currently I review and interested in reviewing Bollywood Hungama and easy GODL-India files only". Sorry! -- CptViraj (talk) 03:51, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Question A user uploads a painting claimed to be from 1750 but provides no source information, so another user comes along and tags it with {{No source since}}. You are patrolling the log and come across this image. How would you handle this situation? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:31, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

  @King of Hearts: Thankyou for your question. I will try to find the artist and the museum. If succed, I will use {{Artwork}} and for source it would be museum's institution template, for license it would be {{PD-old-100}} in {{PD-Art}}. -- CptViraj (talk) 04:20, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
