I like keeping discussions in one place, therefore I usually post my contributions on the page where a discussion started. I will answer on this discussion page if a question is asked here. Likewise, I am grateful if you reply to my contributions on other discussion pages there, not here. If there's something urgent, you might get a quicker reply if you use my discussion page at the German Wikipedia, I'm visiting Commons less frequently. Thanks, Gestumblindi.

Nomination for adminship

How would you feel if I nominated you for adminship? I've noticed there seems to be a growing backlog of copyvio nominations, and you seem pretty familiar with copyright law. I know I myself probably wouldn't like the added pressure (or maybe that's sour grapes; there's no way I'd pass anyways), so don't feel compelled to accept. I've decided to start stalking the deletion pages and ask questions, so if you don't want to, I'll undoubtedly find someone more people to ask. --Quintucket (talk) 01:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the confidence. But... Well, I'm an admin over in the German-language Wikipedia since February 2009; admin permissions would come in handy here, too. I would also be willing to lend a hand in dealing with the backlog; however, I'm not sure that people would see me as active enough here on Commons. In a recent unsuccessful admin nomination (Letartean) I read the comment "Letartean has 9,600 global edits, with only 1,445 on Commons, and 200 of those in the Commons: namespace. That's right on the edge for me -- we usually like to see 2,500+ Commons edits and a few more in the namespace." If this was "right on the edge", then it seems that I wouldn't pass, as I have not much more edits here than Letartean. So I suspect that nominating me currently wouldn't be a good idea. Gestumblindi (talk) 03:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

I looked over the RFAs (I was originally going to ask Takebeg, who has similar credentials to you, but on an unrelated RFA someone complained about his behavior, which made me think he might have problems passing unrelated to his credentials), and there are several administrators who are promoted with fewer edits than you have. I'll dig up the threads if you like.

Edits in the Commons namespace is meant to show one understands deletion policy, which it seems that you do. In Letartean's case the same user who complained about his edits also noted that his commons edits were on quality image candidates rather than deletion requests and copyvio issues, which aren't the case for you. QIC of course does not require admin tools, DRs do.

If you're willing to accept the nomination, I'd still like to nominate you. Given that we really do need admins and you have a respectable track record, I think the community would accept you. An if they don't it would be more a commentary on my judgment than your qualifications. --Quintucket (talk) 14:36, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, if you think it's worth a try, be me guest and go ahead :-) - I'm not very eager, but I could and would use the privs, I think. Should the community not want me as an admin here, no problem. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:26, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

I have nominated you. You still have a chance to back out, you have you state your acceptance on the nom for the request to take effect. ;•) --Quintucket (talk) 23:24, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Administrator

Ein Willkommenspräsent für unseren neuen Administrator von deinen Kollegen...

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Gestumblindi! Du hast jetzt die Rechte eines Administrators auf Commons. Nimm dir bitte einen Moment Zeit, um dir die Seite Commons:Administratoren und die in Verbindung mit der Beobachtungsliste stehenden Seiten durchzulesen (insbesondere Commons:Administrators' noticeboard und Commons:Deletion requests), bevor du damit beginnst, Seitenlöschungen, Accountsperrungen oder Änderungen am Seitenschutzstatus bzw. an den geschützten Seiten selbst durchzuführen. Der Großteil der Bearbeitungen eines Administrators kann durch andere Administratoren wieder rückgängig gemacht werden, mit Ausnahme der Zusammenführung von Versionsgeschichten, die deshalb mit spezieller Obacht behandelt werden muß.

Wir laden dich herzlich ein, mit uns auf IRC Kontakt aufzunehmen: #wikimedia-commons @ irc.freenode.net. Es gibt auch einen Channel für Commons-Admins, der für sensiblere Themen sowie zur Koordination unter Admins genutzt werden kann. Du findest zudem in dem Commons:Ratgeber zur Administratorentätigkeit vielleicht eine nützliche Lektüre.

Bitte überprüfe, ob du in der Commons:List of administrators und den jeweils nach Datum oder Sprache sortierten Listen eingetragen wurdest und ergänze deine Daten andernfalls.

Hilfe

Hallo Gestumblindi, beim Upload hat sich die Sofware hier verschluckt. Kannst Du das fixen?--Karsten11 (talk) 13:35, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Mir ist keine einfache Lösung für das Problem bekannt, Lupo hat den gerade mehrfach aufgetretenen Bug hier gemeldet. In diesem Fall wurde das Problem offenbar gelöst, indem der User die betroffenen Files nochmal unter anderen Dateinamen hochgeladen hatte, anschliessend hat ein Admin diese auf die Originalnamen verschoben. Können wir's so probieren? Du lädtst das Bild nochmal hoch - dann lösche ich die fehlerhafte Datei entweder einfach (falls der neue Name auch so ok ist) oder verschiebe/lösche. Gestumblindi (talk) 18:04, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Hatte ich schon versucht. Aber die Software erkennt, dass das Bild bereits hochgeladen ist und verhindert das erneute hochladen. Wenn die kaputte Version gelöscht wäre, ginge es vieleicht.--Karsten11 (talk) 18:21, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Du kannst es nicht manuell unter einem anderen Namen hochladen? Das müsste eigentlich gehen, bei anderen Benutzern scheint das ja auch geklappt zu haben. Aber ich lösche das defekte nun jedenfalls mal, dann können wir weitersehen :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 20:46, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

User rights management

Hey, I noticed you added User:Kelson to the GWToolset user group together with giving them additional filemover rights. We have COM:RFR for the filemover group, so I wonder why you gave Kelson those user rights without following the regular procedures? Thanks, odder (talk) 22:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi odder; I just wrote to Steinsplitter in this matter, see also his talk page. Kelson is heavily involved in GLAM projects and it was with his help and experience that we got e.g. the images of Commons:Zentralbibliothek Solothurn uploaded. Although he did request access to the GWToolset by e-mail, giving him also filemover rights was a spontaneous idea of mine, as I think it will be helpful for his projects - and as he's an experienced user with thousands of edits, I did not think there would be any problem with that. I suppose, given his record, he would certainly receive these rights if requesting them through COM:RFR, but I'm not really experienced in user rights management - is there a strict requirement to use this RFR process?

Painting creation vs publication

Did the issues you raised in this discussion ever move forward or become settled or refined? I'm the newly-minted Wikipedian in Residence for the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and I'm trying to figure out what's generally acceptable in determining what they can and cannot upload. Regards, TransporterMan (talk) 19:54, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

@TransporterMan: No, I think the discussion became stuck there. As there was no response whatsoever to my last proposal, I abandoned it (well, could probably have gone ahead trying to introduce the warning template); de facto policy probably is still as noted by Lupo, "Common practice around here seems to be to assume that anything created before 1923 was also published before 1923". Probably there's also unpublished art in the museum's collection? According to the Hirtle chart, this could be {{PD-US-unpublished}} if the author is known and died more than 70 years ago, or if the work was created more than 120 years ago. Gestumblindi (talk) 00:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

It's the difficulty in figuring out whether or not something has been published which has me concerned, since everything hinges on that. I've not yet worked with the museum's copyright agents to determine how and to what extent they research that issue, so they may well have a database of all the publication and other facts for all their holdings or, at the very least, the means to thoroughly and easily research it when needed. My goal at this point was to be ready for that conversation by knowing what Commons requires, both theoretically and practically. I appreciate your help in getting there. Best regards, TransporterMan (talk) 15:40, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Gestumblindi, ich habe schon im Forum nachgefragt, aber bisher keine Antwort bekommen. Deshalb: Hast Du eine Erklärung dafür, warum Quickbot eins meiner beiden Porsche-Bilder verschwinden ließ? Vielen Dank für die Antwort und für eventuelle Wiederherstellung. Herzliche Grüße -- Spurzem (talk) 14:46, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

@Spurzem: Wenn ich das recht verstehe, sollte der Bot eigentlich erledigte Nominierungen, die älter als 2 Tage sind, entfernen. Es geht um File:Porsche 904 GTS Minichamps (Seite).JPG, oder? Das sah für den Bot wohl erledigt aus, da am 27. Mai ohne Widerspruch zur Auszeichnung bestätigt, aber diese scheint noch zu fehlen. Ich kenne mich mit dem Prozess auch nicht so aus, auch wenn ich da selbst mal ein paar Bilder eingetragen habe, vielleicht fragst du am besten beim Botbetreiber nach.

Italy

Thanks for your comments at Commons:Deletion requests/undefinedmoyan brenn. I am worried there may be issues with some of the photos I took in Rome. See User:Colin/Rome. Do some/all of these images need that template or do some need to be deleted? I see that Template:Soprintendenza mentions "Users who are citizens of Italy are warned that they are solely responsible for any possible violation of local laws." who are the "users" here? Those who took the picture, those who uploaded the picture, or those who publish the picture somewhere? My guess is User:Moyanbrenn is a "citizen of Italy". Should he be concerned? -- Colin (talk) 07:28, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

@Colin: I'm not a lawyer and certainly not an expert in Italian cultural heritage law, but I do assume that all images of old buildings, ruins, and sculptures in Italy should be tagged with {{Soprintendenza}}. This assumption is based on the information available e.g. at Commons:Freedom of panorama#Italy. It seems that a very broad definition of "cultural goods" is applied ("any art work, or building older than 20 years, should be assumed actively forbidden"). Still, this is a non-copyright restriction that isn't considered grounds for deletion of works from Commons. And I do not think (again, it's just my personal opinion as a Wikipedian dabbling in copyright and related rights) that uploading and hosting such files on Wikimedia Commons is even a violation of Italian law, as Commons itself is a non-commercial and educational project (educational uses are allowed without payment to the Soprintendenza, apparently). Commercial re-use probably would only be an issue for the re-user. So I think that Moyanbrenn doesn't need to be concerned. Still, although I cast a  Keep vote for such cases, I wouldn't be really opposed to a courtesy deletion if Moyanbrenn as an Italian citizen is very concerned about possible legal issues. Gestumblindi (talk) 20:11, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear guys, ::@Gestumblindi: ::@Colin:, thank you for your intervention. Just wanted to let you know that this morning i personally spoked with a couple of individuals here in Italy, and they told me not be concerned for now. As long as i'm shooting to very old buildings in public spaces, i don't need to be worried. This is why i found so many pictures of Colossum here on Wikimedia without problems. This is different of course if you shoot inside museums of course but you already know this. this should be really a worry but it's not my case.....::@Colin: eventually could have a problem with his picture of Vatican Museums, and yes i would ask for an eventual DR for that one! So yes, ::@Gestumblindi: I was absolutely right Thank you guys! I feel better now! hope to have a nice weekend! I have requested to abort my DR! Cheers!

Bewertungen in QIC - Consensual Review

Hallo Gestumblindi, sei bitte so nett und schau Dir an, mit welchen Argumenten Commons-Administrator A.Savin seit Neuestem Fotos von Fahrzeugen negativ bewertet. Betroffen bin nicht nur ich – was ich vielleicht aus den unten angedeuteten Gründen verstehen könnte –, sondern auch die Benutzer Ralf Roletschek und Ermell sind es. Siehe unter anderem hier oder hier. Was er genau will, weiß ich nicht. Anscheinend verlangt er die exakte Angabe, an welchem Ort das Auto oder Motorrad fotografiert wurde, wobei ich mich frage, welchen Wert diese Information für die Qualität des Bildes haben soll. Wohlgemerkt: Es geht nicht um die Darstellung von Verkehrssituationen oder um Bilder von Straßen, auf denen Autos oder Motorräder zu sehen sind. – Man kann freilich sagen, QIC sei nur ein Spiel und es sei gleichgültig, ob Bilder für gut befunden oder „zerrissen“ werden. Trotzdem bitte ich darum, diese ärgerlichen Aktionen zu unterbinden. Ich selbst will mich mit diesem A.Savin nicht auseinanderzusetzen versuchen, nachdem er mir vor einziger Zeit indirekt riet, mich aus QIC zurückzuziehen, und mich kurz darauf für 14 Tage sperrte, als ich ihm wegen seiner Bildbewertungen heftig widersprochen hatte. Freundliche Grüße -- Spurzem (talk) 06:27, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

@Spurzem: Entschuldige, dass ich erst jetzt antworte - ich hatte die Anfrage etwas aus den Augen verloren. Allerding sehe ich nicht, was ich da unternehmen könnte. Ich kann ja niemanden daran hindern, etwas anzuführen, das aus seiner Sicht gegen eine Auszeichnung spricht, auch wenn man es seltsam finden mag. Wenn man Einwände gegen eine Bewertung hat, kann man ein Bild ja rechtzeitig in den Abschnitt consensual review verschieben, indem man den Status in Discuss ändert, und so eine erweiterte Diskussion anstossen. Gestumblindi (talk) 13:26, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

@Spurzem: Noch ein ping, weil ich zunächst ein falsches Antwort-Template verwendet hatte und so keiner ausgelöst wurde. Gestumblindi (talk) 13:27, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Gestublindi, was Du schreibst, ist grundsätzlich richtig. Meine Hoffnung war, ein Wort von Admin zu Admin könnte vielleicht zu ein wenig mehr Sachlichkeit bei den Bewertungen führen, vor allem unabhängig von den Personen, die ihre Bilder vorstellen. Viele Grüße -- Spurzem (talk) 15:35, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Commons Conference project

Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Comments This looks like a Fir or Spruce, not a Pine. PumpkinSky 02:18, 16 December 2017 (UTC) Probably a translation issue.

Gestumblindi 19:58, 16 December 2017 (UTC) PS: It's most certainly neither a fir (Tanne) nor a spruce (Fichte), look at the way the needles sprout from the branches... that's typical for a pine, assuming this is the correct translation. Gestumblindi 20:43, 16 December 2017 (UTC) AH. This is why the Latin name Pinus sylvestris is good. On en wiki that is an article with a close up of the needles. Yes, it's a Pine. In English it's know as "Scots Pine". I'm going to add this to the file page, if that's ok. Good quality. PumpkinSky 23:06, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

But I'm not good at image manipulation, maybe you can help? Gestumblindi 10:05, 18 December 2017 (UTC) I have  Done removed the insects. A third opinion please for this possible Q1photo. --Michielverbeek 22:08, 18 December 2017 (UTC) Good quality. --Trougnouf 20:25, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Quick translation request

Hi, I am about to edit wikidata and am wondering if I can request a translation of "village in China" in Alemannic German. Thanks in advance. Artix Kreiger (talk) 18:00, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger: It's "Dorf in China", in this case not different from standard High German :-) Gestumblindi (talk) 19:03, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Danke very much Artix Kreiger (talk) 19:08, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Gestumblindi, hast du vielleicht Zeit dir diese Sache einmal anzuschauen? Ich würde deinen Input sehr schätzen! Danke und schöne Grüße --Martina talk 06:01, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Überbauungen

Hir Gestumblindi. Weisst du wie Überbauungen am besten kategroisiert werden. Hatte es bisher faktisch mit Einzelbauwerklen zu tun gehabt (bzw. wo man die Nebengebäude poblemlos beim Hauptgebäude einorden konnte). Aber gerade bei moderne Bauwerken werden heute ja als Siedung/Überbauung realisiert, und dann sollten ja diese Bauetappe als gesamtes in einer Kategorie sein. --Bobo11 (talk) 08:44, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bobo11: Hm, schwierig. Überbauung ist ja ein spezifisch schweizerischer Begriff. Ich habe ein wenig in den Subkategorien von Category:Land use und Category:Realty herumgesucht, aber auf den ersten Blick nichts gesehen, das wirklich zu passen scheint. Vielleicht via Commons:Forum einen breiteren Kreis befragen? Gestumblindi (talk) 13:41, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Löschdiskussion Spiegel-Titelbild

Hallo Gestumblindi, das eine Spiegel-Titelbild ist seit Anfang September in der Löschdiskussion (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Der Spiegel Sachsen.jpg). Ist also schon eine Weile her. Wie lange dauert es denn, bis sowas entschieden wird? Bei Bildern von bezahlten Schreibern, die die Freigabe übers OTRS nicht hinkriegten, ging das Löschen jedenfalls schneller und bei entsprechender Genehmigung auch das Behalten oder Wiederherstellen. Egal wie es ausgeht: Wir können uns nicht ein Titelblatt eines führenden Presseorgans schnappen und bei eingetretenen Zweifeln dann nichts tun - auf Dauer. Ich wehre mich auch nicht schrecklich gegen Behalten, aber irgendwann muss sowas mal administrativ entschieden werden.... Grüße, --Stefan Bellini (talk) 09:34, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

@Stefan Bellini: Da der Löschantrag von mir ist, kann ich da selbst natürlich nicht aktiv werden. Es handelt sich auch bei weitem nicht um den einzigen Löschantrag vom September, der noch offen ist, siehe Commons:Deletion requests/2018/09 - ein recht "beeindruckender" Rückstau, auch vom August ist noch einiges offen. Wir bräuchten wohl mehr Admins auf Commons. Solche Fälle, bei denen die Meinungen auseinandergehen, bleiben wohl typischerweise auch eher länger liegen. Ich will mich demnächst auch wieder mal ein wenig daran beteiligen, den Rückstau abzuarbeiten. Gestumblindi (talk) 20:58, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Ja, danke. Dass du nicht selber entscheiden kannst, ist mir schon klar. Der Spiegel, an dessen zentrale Mailadresse ich, wenn auch unter (anderem) Pseudonym, geschrieben hatte, scheint sich für den Fall jedenfalls nicht sonderlich zu interessieren, ich bekam keine Antwort, hatte die hiesige Löschdiskussion auch verlinkt. Vielleicht sind auch die überlastet. Oder an einer Verbreitung ihrer Titelbilder interessiert, auch wenn's nicht ganz legal sein mag, so wie es sicher auf vielen Blogs oder weltweiten Webseiten geschieht. So gesehen, hilft nur abwarten. Danke für die schnelle Antwort, Grüße, Stefan Bellini (talk) 09:07, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Ist nun erledigt und gelöscht. Grüße, --Stefan Bellini (talk) 06:34, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, here are some more: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Godzilla_-_PS4-PS3_-_Ultimate_mayhem_(E3_Trailer)_-_Super_MG.png?uselang=it https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Godzilla_-_PS4-PS3_-_Ultimate_mayhem_(E3_Trailer)_-_Kiryu_v_Goji.png https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Godzilla_-_PS4-PS3_-_Ultimate_mayhem_(E3_Trailer)_-_MG.png?uselang=it Mariomassone (talk) 07:27, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

@Mariomassone: Thanks for the pointer. There is now a new deletion request Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with bandai youtube where these are included, and per this short discussion, I think we have to wait at least seven days, and probably another admin should handle these. Gestumblindi (talk) 20:41, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Wasserflaschen...

Kannst du mal bitte meinen letzten Post überprüfen? Ich habe das mit Google Translate geschrieben, keine Ahnung, ob da irgendwas sinnentstellend ist. Danke --Ralf Roletschek 20:59, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

@Ralf Roletschek: Statt "Your homepage" ("Deine Homepage") sollte da "Her homepage" ("ihre Homepage") stehen, und "She is personally known" statt "It is...", ansonsten vielleicht etwas holpriges, aber verständliches Englisch, das Google da produziert hat.

Unlawful deletion of my file

You deleted a file that was made and uploaded by me, File:Flagofserenia.png, on the notion that it's a personal artwork. In this article (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Project_scope) however, it states the following;

"An otherwise non-educational file does not acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a gallery page or in a category on Commons, nor solely because it is in use on a user page (the "User:" namespace), but by custom the uploading of small numbers of images (e.g. of yourself) for use on a personal Commons user page is allowed. Files relating to projects or events of the Wikimedia community, such as user meetings, are also allowed."

I only used the image in my personal User:Sandbox in Wikipedia, therefore i believe that you have unlawfully deleted my file.

Finlandestonia (talk) 21:27, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

"Unlawful" is a strong word. I suppose that as a non-native speaker (like me), you rather meant something like "unjustified". Anyway, the wording from Commons:Project scope you cite isn't a license for any kind of personal cavorting without any educational or encyclopedic background. True, we wouldn't delete a personal image of yourself for use on a personal page here or in Wikipedia, if you're an active user. But it seems that you're using en:User:Finlandestonia/sandbox for playing around with a succession of fictitious countries (currently a "Republic of North Africa", previously a "Federation of Balto-Azovia" and other nonexistent entities), and were not even using that particular file anymore when it was nominated for deletion, if I see it correctly? So I don't see for what purpose you would need it anymore. But if you nonetheless believe that the deletion was unjustified and the file should be restored, I would like to point you to Commons:Undeletion requests where you can appeal the decision.

Titelblatt einer Zeitung von 1911

Lieber Gestumblindi, im neuen Artikel Aargauer Volksblatt sind drei Bilder verwendet worden. Während ich bei der letzten Ausgabe verstehen kann, dass diese Seite mit der Zeichnung aus urheberrechtlichen Gründen nicht verwendet werden kann, möchte ich dich fragen, was du zur Titelseite von 1911 meinst. Vielen Dank --Hadi (talk) 14:22, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

@Hadi: Zu File:Aargauer Volksblatt, Titelblatt der ersten Ausgabe vom 16. Dezember 1911.jpg: Es dürfte wohl schwer fallen, dem Text unter "Gott zum Gruss" die Schöpfungshöhe absprechen zu wollen. Da er 1911 erschienen ist, ist es aber sicher im Rahmen des Möglichen, dass sein Verfasser vor mehr als 70 Jahren gestorben ist. Und vielleicht ist es gar nicht möglich, zu ermitteln, wer ihn im Namen des Vorstands des katholischen Pressvereins Baden verfasst hat? In diesem Fall würde ich {{PD-Switzerland-old-unknown}} als Lizenzbaustein vorschlagen. Zu File:Aargauer Volksblatt, letzte Nummer vom 31. Oktober 1992.jpg: Hier ist ja laut Bildbeschreibung angeblich tatsächlich eine Freigabe der Rechteinhaber an das OTRS unterwegs. Wenn damit alles seine Ordnung haben sollte, kann auch dieses Bild behalten werden. Da ich kein OTRS-Mitarbeiter bin, habe ich da jedoch keinen Einblick und kann nichts dazu sagen, da müssen wir auf die Abarbeitung der OTRS-Warteschlange warten, was oft Wochen oder Monate dauert. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:55, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Vielen Dank! Ich habe gemäss deiner Empfehlung {{PD-Switzerland-old-unknown}} eingesetzt. --Hadi (talk) 13:14, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Michèle Costa-Gavras

Guten Morgen und vielen dank for closing the deletion request on File:Michèle Ray-Gavras - Octobre 2019.jpg ! I’m sorry I got quite pissed at this, I fully agree with your assessment with who the author is. My opinion is that my friend is more the author than I am but that OTRS should not be the way to « prove » authorship or permission in these cases :). (My old OTRS days show that’s a weak way to prove anything when not originating from a public figure/institution :)). Cheers! Luk (talk) 08:26, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
