File:Jamiluddin Aali.jpg[edit]

Hello Slowking4, Thank you for your suggestion 'migrate to en:wikipedia with non free screenshot' in connection with 'Commons:Deletion requests/File:Jamiluddin Aali.jpg'. As suggested by you, the file has been removed from Commons. Can you help in tracing it in the en:wikipedia. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 04:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for updating me with the information. It is really wonderful to note that the image is restored. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 05:41, 16 August 2011

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year[edit]

Hi Slowking4,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - 1908 Australian postcard.png
Hope that so day somewhere on earth we shall meet in the same friendly manner in which we have interacted online for Wiki Projects. I am very pleased with your overly friendly and welcoming attitude.Hindustanilanguage (talk) 09:08, 26 December 2011 (UTC).

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Occidental Avenue South (Seattle, Washington).jpg[edit]

Just so you don't get blind-sided: another admin has chosen to consider the discussion finished and delete. If you want to move the image to en-wiki, I have no problem with that, but I don't see any article that it's used in. (Please continue any response on the Deletion requests page, to keep the conversation in one place; this is just a summary of something I already said there.) - Jmabel ! talk 00:24, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

excellent, it's written: [4], however they don't like the image name, and are reducing from 140kb to ~40kb. Slowking4 (talk) 03:28, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

You must provide deeplinks to NARA for all files you have uploaded. Regards, High Contrast (talk) 18:07, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

no, i do not and i will contest. the proper licenses are provided to each image. Commons:Essential information: "Specifically, besides the license tag, you should make sure that other people have enough information to verify the licensing claims by providing adequate source and creator data." this information was provided. it is preferred but not required to have an online source. since i am one of the ten or so people who have participated in scanathons at the NARA, i am a credible witness to the fact that i scanned the photo there. do you have any evidence that i did not? Slowking4 (talk) 18:10, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Here on Commons you have to provide valid evidence that some image is really free. It is not some other people's task. Please read COM:L and deacivate emotions - stick to the facts.
And: no edit wars, please.
Regards, High Contrast (talk) 22:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
i have presented all the evidence associated with the scanned images that are with each item. i do have the scans of the backs of the photos with the mimeographed photo description, that i have entered. where it is stamped Army Signal Corps i have tagged it; where it is stamped Office of War Information i have tagged it. you started mass challenging my source descriptions, why? i have clearly indicated Commons:L#Works_by_the_US_Government; the proforma documentation by that government is unsurprising; it is unclear to me what proof you would accept. i would submit that you have not assumed good faith in this matter. do not speedy delete these images, since they are disputed, rather take them to deletion requests. Slowking4 (talk) 22:38, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
You scanned those files? Do you have the original photgraphs, or from where could you scan them? --High Contrast (talk) 22:51, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
i scanned the original photographs in the National Archives and Records Administration. the digital copy is on my hard drive. here is my picture of dominic in the scanner room with my flatbed scanner in the foreground. 1-6-12-narascan.JPG. here is the blog of the archivist of the united states, [5] who used my photo, and you will see me in dominic's photo below.

How did you come to NARA photographs then? --High Contrast (talk) 23:42, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
NARA hosted a highly popular scanathon FYI: [6] - Slowking and about 10 other Wikimedians participated. These images are all from the NARA archives and this is the FIRST time the image has ever been scanned. Very cool :) SarahStierch (talk) 23:47, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
Anyone can use the NARA research rooms, come and scan anytime. :) In this case, we held an organized scan-a-thon, but it need not be organized. Aude (talk) 00:17, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

FYI: I have added additional source information to all the images that were mentioned above (and I deleted all those templates in the meantime), see: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. And I really do think that the unfriendly discussion above could have been avoided if you—High Contrast—contacted Slowking before spamming his talk page with all those unwelcoming templates. Sometimes it is preferred to treat a user like a human and simply ask him instead of putting warnings with a semiautomatic script, you know. odder (talk) 00:23, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

thank-you for intervening. i would say that regrettably, the tag first ask questions later, seems to be a widespread pattern of behavior, not confined to this editor. how many historic images are deleted, because the uploader is not trusted, and it's delete rather than fix license. we need a systemic culture change. Slowking4 (talk) 02:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
It would be good to add Category:NARA ExtravaSCANza to the photos you scanned and uploaded from the event -- gives a further hint of the source, and also identifies all the photos which were scanned there. Carl Lindberg (talk) 08:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
ok, done; i thought "NARA-cooperation" was sufficient. Slowking4 (talk) 17:04, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
Thank you odder for playing the good shepherd. Anyway, I am glad to see that this copyright issue has come to a good end. --High Contrast (talk) 22:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
you have failed to address your improper use of speedy, where a source was given. another admin should not have to intervene. why would anyone want to schlep over to NARA, spend a day scanning, overcome the broken upload tagging process, to be treated like this? why would any institution want to partner with commons, when its material is subject to the whims of doubting thomas's.

Request to move File:Linguascope.jpg to en:Wikipedia and suitably modify its description[edit]

Dear Slowking4, I recall your wise move in transferring Jamiluddin_Aali file to the English Wikipedia. Sometime back I saw only the logo of Linguascope uploaded on the English Wikipedia which did not give clarity of the website. So I uploaded a screenshot of the title page. I agree that some improper PD description is posted but this was done by previous uploader and not me. Since the file is suitably used in an en:wp article, I request you to transfer Linguascope Screenshot to the English Wikipedia instead of Commons where it is currently nominated for speedy deletion. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 07:08, 28 February 2012 (UTC).

ok, i am staying away from english wikipedia for now. if you care to do it yourself, the upload wizard to english wikipedia is here [7]. keep in mind you must also create an article about your screen shot. word to the wise: select the right place to fight the battle.
also, as we see from the history of Jamiluddin_Aali before, it got deleted: the deletionists will pursue images once they appear on their radar screen, in the spirit of vindictiveness. and as demonstrated above, look pretty bad doing it.
a fall back strategy is to upload to flickr [8], and bide time patiently. Slowking4 (talk) 17:26, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

Duplicate articles on Azerbaijani embassy in Washington on en:wiki[edit]

Hi there,

I landed in the Diplomatic missions in Washington, D.C. category at the en:wiki and noticed what appear to be duplicate articles for the Azerbaijani embassy:

  1. Embassy of Azerbaijan, Washington, D.C., which has existed since at least July 2010 according to the page history
  2. Embassy of Azerbaijan in Washington, D.C., which you created in May 2011

I thought I'd recommend a merge to interested parties and have added maintenance templates to the articles, recommending the second be merged into the first. Any thoughts? I recommend using the section at the target article's talk page to localize discussion. I see you're on an involuntary wikibreak there so will also watch this talk page. Thanks, Northumbrian (talk) 16:45, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

thanks for pointing out, sorry about confusion about embassy names. Slowking4 (talk) 23:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Oh no problem, I went to the International Relations wikiproject page to see if there was guidance on embassy names. There is, but it looks like it's completely ignored and anyway the project doesn't seem very active.
I'll see if there's any discussion about or objectives to the proposed merge; if there isn't any after a week, I'll go ahead and do it myself. Northumbrian (talk) 15:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

MLK Memorial and African-American Artworks deletion requests[edit]

Hi, Slowking4, Thanks for your kind note on my user page, and I apologize for not responding sooner -- but I've been traveling and leave to go overseas tomorrow for another 2 weeks. I won't be able to do much regarding photos until I return, but I'm a little frustrated that I have to "relearn" the rules I thought I knew about photos: that photos taken from official U.S. government websites and brochures were allowed under public domain. (I always assumed -- mistakenly, I now learn -- that it was up to the U.S. government to work out copyright permission before it added the images to official government websites, and then we would rely on the government's work.) Anyway, guess things are much more complicated and restricted than I had thought! I'll keep trying to learn.... NearTheZoo (talk) 13:23, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

i share your frustration. unfortunately the rules change around here all the time, but the tag spam - bad attitude of the admins does not. the fact that they are more punctilious here than the wide expanse of the web, and the splitting of hairs between public domain and fair use will be an ongoing problem. people tend to take refuge in flickr. keep the faith. Slowking4 (talk) 19:24, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

Sculpture Maillol Jardin des Tuileries (deletion request)[edit]

Hi, Slowking4,Thank you for your message, your kind appreciation of my picture and all the information. I have not really had many occurrences of problems with FoP until now. I will be more cautious in the future. I have a question. I discovered Google Project Art yesterday and am still in awe. I wonder if people here in Wikimedia Commons have already uploaded every single painting available? Or if not if I could do it? Are there questions of copyright in doing so? I read the "Terms of use" and it was not clear to me if Wikimedia Commons could use freely the reproduction of paintings. And last but not least where do you think I should post these questions? Dinkum (talk) 06:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.png[edit]

Note that this is a US photo. If still copyrighted, the copyright expires 95 years after publication, not 70 years after the death of the photographer, so I have changed your undeletion category. I'm not sure if the photo is copyrighted at all, though, but that is really a matter for an undeletion discussion, and should be synced for all different versions of the image. --Stefan4 (talk) 11:45, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Public Domain, not renewed. i did not categorize. if you're not sure, start the undeletion. two wrongs don't make a right.
this is a signal case, when confronted with a "not sure" deletion, rather than start a deletion appeal, it's delete all the others to conform to the "not sure". how many deletion votes for US copyright are from non-US editors who just don't understand the US legalistic heritage copyright rules;
when confronted with clear and convincing evidence that a copyright was not renewed, it's delete the evidence. Slowking4†@1₭ 13:28, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

A kitten for you![edit]

Thanks for helping me figure out how to insert the images into the Museum of the Peaceful Arts article. I'll look into putting the lecture poster on Wikisource for transcription; what a great idea!

Uncommon fritillary (talk) 01:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

What do they mean "Baptized"?[edit]

And why is it that churches specialize in these signs (the yellow brick road sign is from a Catholic school)? Since 1830 is a synogue.

No, I'm not ready. If K's voting/screening software works, I'll be fine though. BTW, you've been nominated as a screener. The major hassle I'm guessing will be to communicate to others "yes, this really is a crisis!" which I think I can only say 10 times and then will forget about it. There is something else. Wikipedians love to communicate in excruciating detail. We need to talk to newbies in KISS-talk. I'll probably be more comfortable with the newbies. Smallbones (talk) 22:55, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Wikimedia Indigenous Languages[edit]

Good day, I saw your plan for a proposal project for a mobile app for field recording and upload and thought you might be interested in the creation of Wikimedia Indigenous Languages, an international body for the coordination for the development of indigenous languages through the use of Wikimedia projects. Thanks, Amqui (talk) 15:58, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for doing Wikipedia Takes DC[edit]

Real Life Barnstar.png

It is always a special treat to have such a dedicated Wikipedian like yourself on any team. You bring expertise on so much to every event. Thank you for coming to Wikipedia Takes DC, helping to explain [wikilovesmonuments.usa Wiki Loves Monuments] and how to take the best photos, and for doing the scavenger hunt despite adverse weather. You really are a true Wikipedia Leader.Lisa N Marrs (talk) 00:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading my Wiki Loves Monuments Photos![edit]

The photos look great! I'm thinking now that that little side building isn't part of the Morrison-Clark House, since I don't see it on the hotel website. So I'll hunt around to find out what that is. It was great fun joining the WikimediaDC team, and again, big thanks for all your help! Uncommon fritillary (talk) 22:20, 9 September 2012

Elen of the Roads (talk) 00:07, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Interesting response from Maggie, which I've also posted at the deletion discussion. Quoth she "The logos are under free license, but there are trademark issues at hand. :) Use of the marks must conform to http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_Policy in accordance with our Terms of Use. The WMF is generally very liberal in permitting use of the trademarks by community members, but I'll run it past them just to be sure. Presuming that they are okay with it, trademarks (ours or anyone else's) should be properly labeled to caution reusers that there are restrictions beyond the creative commons license which apply, as explained at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Image_casebook#Trademarks." She has asked what your intentions were when creating the image - was it just created for Sarah Stierch or was it for wider distribution --Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:52, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
well, i thought a link was enough, but i'd be happy to add a RegTM tag on it. in accordance with the polandball comics, this is mainly for internal use (who else would get the inside joke). the logo is a quick and easy way to refer to foundation. i could replace it with a circle, but it wouldn't be quite the same. it's hard for me to imagine that someone would want to sell t-shirts with this, but stranger things have happened. Slowking4†@1₭ 00:31, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
As you said elsewhere, the whole text is quite confusing. I thought you could only use the image under fair use, hence your art couldn't be on commons, but I *think* Maggie is saying something different.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:35, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
well, they are kinda trying to have their "free" cake and "NC" eat it too. this is a common theme now with institutions using means other than copyright to control content: TM, terms of use, NC, ND on public domain works, etc. Slowking4†@1₭ 22:57, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey mate, I just deleted File:Sir Henry Rider Haggard.png. I know you're better than this, so don't let others get the best of you! Let me know if there's anything I can do. Best, FASTILY (TALK) 06:29, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

good, go to [11] and delete for the same reason. Slowking4†@1₭ 22:04, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
this pernicious "prove to me it's PD" actively harms the project. there are thousands of images with the wrong license. or same image two institutions with comflicting licenses. [12] (this will break hundreds of articles) where is the process to fix them? i don't believe in a process of hounding people, and then perusing their work to delete, ignoring other images with the same problems in the same article. far better to put a caution on it and move to the obvious ones. i will try to ignore the "the malignant assiduity", but i'm sure the trolling will continue.

Please don't hijack a category...[edit]

the way you hijacked "Charles Wright" and turned it from a category about the architect by that name into one about the poet by that name. It's extremely rude to do that without, at the very least, moving the original contents of the category to another one, such as "Charles Wright (architect)", which I just did. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:03, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

oops, sorry about that. i didn't know it existed, then was surprised it was for one work of a non-notable architect. thanks for fixing that. Slowking4†@1₭ 19:37, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Bonjour, j'ai vu votre panorama qui était à recadrer. Je me suis rendu compte qu'il y avait un marquage numérique. J'ai donc téléchargé les photographies et recommencer l'assemblage. J'espère que cela vous conviendra. Cordialement. François de Dijon (talk) 21:54, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I saw your panorama was to crop. I realized that there was a numerical marking. So I download the photos and start assembly. I hope this is satisfactory. Cordially. (machine translation)

Bonjour, le programme que j'utilise habituellement pour réaliser mes "panoramas" ne sait pas prendre en compte les fichiers en mode "gris", j'avais dû les transformer, d'où le changement de teinte.

Appropriately Licensed[edit]

Thank-you for your support for this proposal. I'm confused at your suggestion you would change your uploads to use it. To begin with, you can't remove licences from images that already have them (though you may add licences). But why would someone who supports the proposal decide to use GFDL as their sole licence? Please keep using CC BY-SA as you do. Colin (talk) 20:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

you're not entering into the spirit of unreasonableness. this muddies the water further: if i delete the cc-by and put on GFDL, which governs (are they equivalent)? only an experienced user would know to look at the history. the resistance to change would be funny if it weren't so sad. the free fanatics don't care about reasonableness; i'm becoming less reasonable day by day. why trust creative commons when we can wallow in the historical mess. most people will ignore and reuse without credit anyhow, regardless of which license is on it. Slowking4†@1₭ 20:43, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
I try my best not to be an unreasonable person. At least with CC you give the reuser a chance to understand the licence as the linked page is plain English. With GFDL the reuser won't have a clue. And if you truly don't care what the re-user does, then CC-0 is a good choice and for that one at least you can remove your CC BY-SA and replace it with CC-0. Colin (talk) 21:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
to clarify, i would use the restrictive license out of spite: don't get mad, get even. it's important that there is a cost for a failure to be reasonable. this merely highlights the license manure that people refuse to be reasonable about. this is a cultural problem going forward: why be clear, when we can obfuscate with policy even more than the law. let's hoist them on their own petard: the pinhead ideology that prevailed deserves to be gamed; why worry about "fair use" on english, when we can spread the NC fun here. i have a couple hundred images in infoboxes; let them all be GDFL 1.2 only. let us take the serious photography elsewhere; they don't deserve it.

You cant revoke the original CC-by-sa licensing. In case you removed the tag {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} from any other file description page or replaced it with a more restrictive {{GFDL 1.2 or cc-by-nc 3.0}} or similar tagging, you have to add the cc-by-sa-3.0 back. --Martin H.

Q01-K93 (talk) 04:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

well, i defer to subject requests as noted above in another case, so won't contest. however, this was a photo at a public event. author could easily have made his wishes known then, and i would have complied. speedied the other 2 images, which only had a comment not deletion request.
lack of photo will diminish page views. religious views need expansion in bio article. Slowking4†@1₭ 19:41, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

  • It is the Creative Commons license Attribution NonCommercial Unported 3.0 that caused me to nominate for deletion. I did not think this license was allowed on Commons, but the discussion you provided shows that maybe it is. I thought that the the images on Commons are available for any use, even commercial, but your licensing indicated to me that you are not allowing commercial use. I guess it is just commercial use under the creative commons license that is not OK, but commercial use is OK under the GFDL license? ~Regards Nv8200p (talk) 01:44, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
    • well, the graphic is trying to explain that non-commercial users can use the NC license, and commercial users can use GFDL 1.2; i could make both use GFDL though, if that's easier. the general discussion at the RfC would seem to indicate that this is allowed since the example of another user doing this was raised, and not objected to. Slowking4†@1₭ 03:07, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
      • I withdrew the nomination. I apologize for my mistake. Best Regards Nv8200p (talk) 00:50, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
        • no need to apologize. i agree it is confusing. we need a process of clarification and cleanup, but can't get consensus. Slowking4†@1₭ 01:12, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to tell you but is really crap but you upload whatever you want.

i kinda agree, but you get what you pay for. there are no "bad" images, only bad missing images. it dosn't matter what i or you think. yes i will; do what ever you want.
commercial quality photography is out there, i.e. highsmith archive at library of congress, but there are only a handful of free stringers. not enough to make a dent in the wikimedia shortfall. there is an ideological fixation on "free" images, which don't happen to have been produced in the past 10 years. they would rather be blind, than build an encyclopedia. there is a spirit of criticizing others work, rather than collaborating. if WMUK or foundation would "award" some kit, maybe the quality would increase.

Huntster (t @ c) 09:50, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

what a charming validation of "deletion before collaboration". my metadata is better; normally the upload wizard bounces similar images, don't know why it failed for these. why not upload hi rez as lossless tiff, rather than converting to lossy jpeg? part of fsac set - 300 down 1300 to go. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 16:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
Slowking, I'm sorry, I meant to post here before now...got sidetracked. These noms were in no way intended to offend, merely to remove duplicates. Remember, the metadata is less important than the files themselves...metadata can always be added or removed for a particular file. Why I don't upload as TIFFs? I only upload material that I feel would be useful in articles. Even after all this time, the MediaWiki software doesn't handle TIFFs well, sometimes resulting in thumbnails not being rendered (which is happening right now), which means they are useless in articles. Uploading them for archival purposes is fine, but it's not my thing. Also, the upload wizard only detects exact image matches, because it matches the MD5 hash for each file, so it would not have helped in this situation. Huntster (t @ c) 21:15, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
i'm not offended, i sense we're working at cross purposes. the LOC - OWI has only a few aviation photos, which have only been randomly taken from the flickr feed, not systematicly. the metadata is just as important as the image. the web is full of images we can't use because there is no metadata. so deleting a photograph template for your information template with less information, with no discussion, is particullarly "un-collaborative". i would suggest that a 10mb jpg taken from the tiff is not really an improvement from the 300kb jpg. 300 kb is good enough for a digital thumbnail, and commercial print users will go to the link to the LOC 190 mb tiff anyway. i would like to see a redundant project or systematic effort, rather than redundant when it touches my limited watchlist. communication by templating, is dysfunctional. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 22:49, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
I'm sorry about the templating, but that's a function of the system used to nominate images. I have no control over it. And I really cannot comprehend your statement that a high resolution jpg offers no value or improvement over a low resolution jpg...that obviously untrue. You do realise that not everyone understands how to use TIFF files properly. Look at it from the perspective of someone only basically computer literate: people are simply more comfortable with jpgs as they are, for better or worse, the standard for images. As I specifically said, I have absolutely no problem with TIFF files being uploaded for archival purposes (and so those commercial re-users that want them can access them), but for the average user, jpg (or even png) offers more value than TIFF. Good luck with your fsac/OWI endeavour, by the way; it's a lot of images but its a worthy cause. Huntster (t @ c) 23:36, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
you do control what you choose to nominate for deletion. this "redundant" is the new "ownership" of uploads. there is no systematic cleaning up of redundant images. since they aren't in use, there is no difference. but look at a 300kb image and 10mb image with width set to 300px. i can't "see" the difference. it's only for large monitors, projections, printed output where you will see it, and then they will use the tif. others software does not have the mediawiki grayout. and they will fix the resolution display one of these years. will you then go back and upload a higher jpg then? seems like a lot of make-work to me. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 00:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Huh? Duplicates are duplicates. I nominate any duplicate image of the same file type I find...I've requested deletion of several that *I* have unknowingly uploaded in the past. I agree with keeping duplicates of different file types, such as jpg and tiff as they offer different utility, and would not nominate such, but having duplicates of the same file type just makes no sense. Of course the images would look the same at minimal resolutions, but that argument actually favours the higher resolution image, since it offers a greater range of utility over the low resolution version. And no...an average user is not going to favour a tiff image. I have no idea what you're saying regarding the upload of an even larger jpg in the future...if a source has made the highest resolution available, it is not magically going to increase in resolution at some point in the future. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding? Regardless, I want the best mix of high resolution and utility, and if an even higher resolution became available, then of course I would want to upload it. Obviously we have different opinions and priorities, and we're not going to change the other's mind. Let's just focus on our specialities and improve this site's value...for both use in articles and for archival and high-end users. Huntster (t @ c) 03:02, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Huh !? so you're saying the opaque upload code thinks different crops are different, but you think duplicates are duplicates. if you only find things on a capricious basis, then you are capricious. where is the systematic application of "duplicate". i suggest you are wasting your time, and now my time. now i am offended. do not interact with me.

Alfred Palmer[edit]

Hello Slowking4, you have put category Fort Knox, Ky. June 1942 in category Alfred T. Palmer. But any photographer that made images in Fort Knox in June 1942 is allowed to put images in category Fort Knox, Ky. June 1942. The category can not be claimed solely for Alfred Palmer, can it? Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 23:35, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

well, doubt there are any others. (could rename it, there can be only one, kinda implying as subcategory; following Douglas Aircraft Plant example). when combing through FSA photos, there appears to be photo shoot dates with each photographer, that might be a good subcategory than a big catch-all "photographs by Palmer". i take it you like the metadata formatting on the feature photos. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 23:41, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm confused. You seem to be removing the "Photos by Al Palmer" category from many individual photos -- but these are photos he took, aren't they? -Pete F (talk) 07:15, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
This is not the way to do it, Slowking4. It makes it confusing for everybody. Anyone who will run into that, ignorant of your work, and decides to improve the situation will revert it. Jan Arkesteijn (talk) 09:59, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
sorry about the confusion, thought i was tidying up. don't want to have a "women novelists" thing. thank you for the civility.
the situtation: Category:Photographs by Alfred T. Palmer has over 300 photos in it (this is unwieldy); it has a subcategory Category:Douglas Aircraft Plant in Long Beach, October 1942; should not have both on same item. could also rename Category:Photographs by Alfred T. Palmer at the Douglas Aircraft Plant in Long Beach, California, October 1942
i emulated this to create Category:North American Aviation, Inc., plant in Inglewood, Calif. 1942 Oct.‎ & Category:Fort Knox, Ky. June 1942‎ & Category:Langley Field, Va. 1942 May‎, i.e. his photos can be broken down by the photo shoot, time and place as base category. i tend to prefer a category for each event.
alternatively, you could have "Photographs by Alfred T. Palmer" + "Douglas Aircraft Plant" + "Long Beach, California" + "October 1942‎". this puts more categories on each item, but mixing and matching the two schema is confusing.
i am agnostic as to which schema to use, let me know and i will implement. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 15:29, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Ah, now I understand your thinking -- thanks for breaking it down. I agree with your general take, but I do think it's essential that the category names explicitly state "by Arnold T. Palmer," so that other editors and potential reusers don't end up with the same confusion Jan and I had. I think your redlinked/proposed category name above makes sense -- and hopefully it's easy to use Cat-a-lot to rename the category! -Pete F (talk) 17:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

you are just plain wrong about Copyright, Publication, and Works of Art. here's the abstract of a law presentation. here is the law review survey article [13] Nimmer: "the sine qua non of publication should be the acquisition by members of the public of a possessory interest in tangible copies of the work in question.” Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 23:30, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
"A work is considered “generally published” if the author authorized at least one copy of the work to be made available to the general public without regard to who would receive a copy and without restriction on further uses of the work. Works such as posters, buttons, newsletters, fundraising letters, and brochures that were widely distributed will likely be considered generally published."

Missing source on new images[edit]

Hi Slowking4: I see you have uploaded a pile of Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) images recently. Did you know that many of them ended up in "images without a source" because you missed putting the source information into the template? Please go back through these images and put the source on the source line (even if that means redundant information is in the template), otherwise it creates a pile of extra work for the admins to go back and clean through the problem. We already have nearly 60,000 images with no source, given your comittment to "no extra deletions", it would be great if you would run back through your uploads files and fix them! Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:18, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

the sources are there, just not in the source field. apparently the commonist does not have a field to add a source by individual image. and the upload wizard is not working for multiples. in the past i added a pseudo-common source by batches of 20 images. but not for these. i can always clean-up the meta-data and change from information to photograph template later. i guess i'll do that now. maybe the GLAM mass uploader will be the solution. i would caution you against using "missing source" as a workflow for deletion. some can be found by a google image search, and some are scanned at the national archives without a deeplink, as you will see above. the fact that there is a backlog, is not a argument for anything. i've personally eliminated bigger ones than that, but no not my job or concern.

ok, added history to talk {{kept|2012-06-15|Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:James Earle Fraser}}

Thanks for uploading File:Krimkriegkrank.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the OTRS system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

this is pretty hilarious. "script error" is an improper deletion reason. why don't you follow the DR process were there can be a discussion about copyheart? is it because you prefer summary admin action, rather than consensus? Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 17:23, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Yes, actually it was hilarious. Jarekt rewrote part of the date template and the software has an undocumented feature that screw everything up. Why I am disturbing you: Do you want info about every single )of your) file(s) that only had the copyheart tag? Or are you in the process of adding another license? I don't want to flood your talk page with more crap than necessary. I am actually sorry about the license, I kinda liked it, since I used beerware, coffeeware, and cardware a lot. Let me know how you want to proceed. Thanks! --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 04:03, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
the hilarous part is communicating in templates, even templates that don't apply; if you like the license, fight for it, or was that rather the like that wants to say goodbye?
the next step is yours: let the mass deletions begin, [15]. you are only going through the motions. i note that GDFL had an Commons:Requests for comment/AppropriatelyLicensed, that would be another option for you. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 17:20, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Category:Photographs by Donn Dughi[edit]

Aloha! Currently I am working myself through your uploads in Category:Photographs by Donn Dughi. It would be wonderful if you could check your uploads next time you dump 197 files without readable source / description here. Maybe you could help fixing the mess? While I am at it: Adding the photograph template seemed a good idea. Makes the whole thing a little nicer. Best regards, --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 05:09, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

oh, that old thing. only part way through there. ok, i can clean up, may be a week before i can swing by. will be using gwtoolset, which will solve this "information template cruft" problem. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 08:45, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
That old thing is from this year. But if you could please, it is a little tedious by hand. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 17:04, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
pfft, eight months is a long time; not tedious at all, i've tackled backlogs 100 times the size by hand. when they fix the upload wizard, commonist to allow photo template, this will be history. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 17:32, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

thanks![edit]

I see there may have been a momentary kerfluffle, but thanks for noticing the few MacArthur uploads I made yesterday and running with the ball.

I went to upload an image of Robin Fleming this morning, and before my coffee, it failed two or three times before I figured out that it was complaining that we already had an image by that name! *LOL* Made my day. I'm stubbing out articles on the MacArthur winners on ENWIKI, and you've just made my life easier-- very much appreciated! --Joe Decker (talk) 16:29, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

yes, you beat me to the punch on a few this year, so i had to go use commonist. plenty of work to do to add the infobox with pic on wikipedia. i seem to recall they were NC before, wonder when they changed? (apparently after Jun 27 this year [16]) and they went to CC-BY-4.0 - user:mindspillage will be pleased. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 17:20, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm sure you're right, I doubt I'd ever looked at the Foundation page for an image until yesterday.... Cheers, --Joe Decker (talk) 18:26, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Your msg[edit]

Hello, you wrote me: "hi, love the work. however, it would be more accessable with some machine readable metadata such as an information template. i will be going through, adding these templates using this tool [3]. If you have questions, or comments please let me know.". I am afraid I do not understand what you are asking me. As far as I understand, you are telling me you would like to add the pictures' template to the pictures of mine I uploaded before this template (which is the one I am using now) was adopted for all images. If I understood correctly, I cannot see any reasons why you should not be allowed to improve WikiCommons. Love. --User:G.dallorto (talk) 16:22, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, it would be nice if you could try to apply the licenses directly during upload. This would save time an trouble for you an other people who don't have to check and mark them. Thx. --JuTa 03:32, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
it would be nice if you could fix upload wizard to allow the hybrid licenses. passive-aggressive pseudo-policy. shouldn't have to use commonist for less than ten uploads. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 03:39, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
Just use the standard upload page [17], and not the wizard. cheers. --JuTa 03:54, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
nice try, if you look at the license drop down menu, GDFL 1.2 only is not on the menu; and no custom license input. as i said it requires commonist to do on upload, or 2 step process. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 03:58, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

What on earth? Speak English if you can, Ju, or at least say something in some language.--Elvey ([[User talk:Elvey|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 00:14, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
See 2 paragraphs below. He should ust clean up his talk page a bit. --JuTa 07:58, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
and see my response. the fact that your semi-automatic script is a memory hog, and your unthinking application of that script is an attention hog, is not my problem; it is your problem. my talk page would be just fine, if you never came here. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 12:45, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
I would never come here if you allways would upload images with license templates. --JuTa 18:48, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
i would upload with licenses if the upload wizard would let me. and as we see above, i change them within the seven days, whether you notice or not. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 19:07, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
Why not directly after the upload as you know its a problem? --JuTa 20:32, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
why not change the policy to speedy deletion, rather than seven day prod? Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 01:59, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
(This paragraph?) Knock it off,Ju. The upload tools reek and you know it. Slowking4 can't fix them. You can. Should you? Well, would that solve the problem? Yes, I think it would, and many more problems. The choice is yours: create more strife, or alleviate it. Do you want more of it in your life, or less? --Elvey ([[User talk:Elvey|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 01:29, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
let me stick up for JuTa for a moment. he's fallen for the seductive power of the script. he's plugging holes in the dike; activity moment to moment, rather than looking at the big picture. there's a horde of admins doing the same. this template order giving to the workers, is merely an annoyance, but not a corrupt practice. the fact that bots can do it better, doesn't matter, we all do sub-optimal work; but at least he's not speedy deleting proded license-less photos, or keeping "all rights reserved" photos or socking to vote stack a deletion. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 01:53, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
I agree with you. A good perspective to take in.--Elvey ([[User talk:Elvey|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 07:15, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
I see https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Slowking4#Appropriately_Licensed refers to a proposal I'm not familiar with. I guess that's what this is about... Link? (or summary)--Elvey ([[User talk:Elvey|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 20:54, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
yes, colin had a proposal at Commons:Requests for comment/AppropriatelyLicensed. see also Commons:Deletion requests/User:Fir0002/credits typical commons hypocrisy: once upon a time, we had pro photographers use hybrid licenses, (a stealth NC), since GFDL 1.2 only is so ridiculous. but the community decided that it was "equivalent" to CC, but it won't be on the license list on wizard or old form, only commonist upon upload. so now i use this on my work, with a two step process, much to the amusement of my wiki colleagues. i'm also cleaning up metadata that has been broken since 2005, since the admins will only hound current uploaders, they will not fix anything. it's quite a culture clash. i disagree with Lila that commons is curated; it is a gated community, curation requires a curator code of ethics. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 21:12, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
Ah, so the goal is not to change the wizard, but to have commons not allow stealth NC licensing. Does that RfC still need closing? I guess I can if no admin will.--Elvey ([[User talk:Elvey|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 00:42, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
the goal was to simplify, and do away with legacy licenses not suitable to images. RFC closed fail, the consensus was to keep the mess of NC + GFDL 1.2; but "discourage use" (passive aggressive) i.e. lost cause. it's an ideology of "freedom" regardless of reasonableness. i don't have a problem with NC per se (or SA), but the hypocricy of disallowing; deleting NC files while keeping NC + GFDL is quite funny
now, we have a meta proposal for super-admin to fix image transfers, lol. m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review. no indication of reasonable review process. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 01:06, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

An update on the File metadata cleanup drive[edit]

Hello Slowking4,

I wanted to thank you for offering to help with the File metadata cleanup drive on Commons. We now have numbers to measure the amount of Commons files missing machine-readable information. Most of the files here have a license template, but there still about 500,000 remaining files (out of 24 million) missing an Template:Tl template, and that's where your help would be invaluable.

We're currently trying to find groups of files whose description pages are alike, so that we can use bots to automatically take that information and put it into an information template. If you still want to help, it would be great if you could look at the list of files and see if you can find such groups. You can also use the no_information tool to limit the results by uploader, or the first characters of the file name; this can help identify batch uploads.

Once you find groups of files with information in the same order or format, you can add a section to the bot requests page, so that a bot can go through them and fix them all automatically (or you can do it yourself if you have a bot, or with VisualFileChange).

In 10 days, we've already managed to add information templates to over 10% of the 500,000 remaining files. I'm hoping you can help us keep this momentum and get through the rest so we can get rid of this backlog once and for all :)

Thank you, and I wish you happy end-of-year holidays if you celebrate them! Guillaume (WMF) ([[User talk:Guillaume (WMF)|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:58, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

you know, i think i will add this to the case study of why commons is morally broken. the hypocrisy is quite illuminating. there are less than ten people uploading photos of living writers. there shall be consequences for this kind of deletionism, that strikes directly against the educational mission of the commons. when the smithsonian asks me why we are uploading to flickr, i will tell them this is why. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 02:28, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
This isn't a global uploading site for any image. It has to be in the scope of the Commons and I think that you have a misunderstanding of what the project scope is. Just because he is an "award winning" poet doesn't automatically make him notable in the eyes of Wikipedia. I don't nominate images for deletion out of spite, it serves me no benefit to do it, I do it because of the scope. You take this personally when you shouldn't, I'm just trying to educate you on the basis of why images are here. I want to know how me nominating them for deletion equals the commons as "morally broken". I think your reaction to this and other editors who have also nominated your images for deletion, isn't professional and just plain argumentative. This is a community and we try to work together. Lady Lotus ([[User talk:Lady Lotus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:06, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
do not patronize me, child. have you actually read COM:EDUSE: "The expression "educational" is to be understood according to its broad meaning of "providing knowledge; instructional or informative"." a tautology "it's not educational", or argument from authority, is not an argument. what part of the image of the coach of the national champion youth slam team is not educational or informative? do you know how hard it is to get slam poets on stage at the National Book Festival? i take it this is information that you would prefer to remain ignorant about. the fact that you will not systematically apply the principle of scope, means you are unprincipled. there is a consensus that commons is morally broken, it is not just me. i am a professional; you are an amateur. if you find that argumentative, stay off my talk page. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 18:45, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
How was I patronizing you and why call me a child? If you want me to put it bluntly, he is a nobody, he's not notable, he doesn't have an article, the images wouldn't have been used in any article, they served no purpose being here and the images were all too blurry to be used so they were deleted by an admin who agreed with me. You being a professional whatever has NOTHING to do with it. I've tried being nice and civil about this but since your feelings are hurt and you want to just throw a fit about it, then so be it. The SECOND he becomes notable enough for his own wikipedia page, then make a case. Lady Lotus ([[User talk:Lady Lotus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:56, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
when you make random value judgements unsupported by principle or consensus, then you are proven unprincipled. commons is proven to be a random brutish place. i take it when you post here again, you were lying when you said i was argumentative; when you say professionalism has NOTHING to do with it, you were lying when you said i was unprofessional. so your credibility is nil; the credibility of admins who may happen to agree with you is nil. beware who you call not notable, for he may well make you notable with w:The Dunciad he writes about you. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 19:19, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
He isn't notable. General notability is having significant coverage by reliable sources that are independent from the subject. All of which, he does not have. That isn't my opinion, it's the fact that he doesn't meet general notability in the eyes of Wikipedia's guidelines. None of this is my opinion, only trying to go based off the policies that the Commons and Wikipedia go by. I wasn't lying when I said you were argumentative and unprofessional, throughout this entire discussion you have done nothing but personally attack me as an editor (which I now see is one of the reasons that you got blocked on Wikipedia), so yes, to me that is argumentative and not professional. Lady Lotus ([[User talk:Lady Lotus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 19:30, 20 January 2015 (UTC)
don't patronize me again. you keep shifting the ground to notability, why? it is not the criteria here. merely restating your opinion over and over is not an argument. you need to state the clear educational criteria or show a consensus. also notability can change; i've taken photos of people who became notable afterwards; what makes you think i'm not right about his future notability? do you have any evidence that you know what you are talking about? this is not a personal attack: it is a general attack on your behavior, and the commons on which it flourishes. where is the ass-hole free zone? i deal with National Archives and Smithsonian Institution professionals, why should i put up with your self-contradictory hounding? thank you for the ad hominem about being blocked elsewhere. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 22:03, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

1. HOW am I patronizing you? 2. You keep saying "be careful saying he's not notable" when I only explained WHY isn't notable. 3. I said the SECOND he becomes notable, you have a case, you upload a picture of him and I'll put it to use myself. 4. Do you have any evidence that you know what you're talking about? 5. I don't really care that you deal with the National Archives or Smithsonian, why does that matter to me? Why does that matter in this discussion? 6. You mention the 50p pant picture which I agree that it makes no sense that it would be used in an article but in the first deletion discussion there was the argument that it might be later used for the sole purpose of illustrating social impact Shakira had and possible "pants throwing". That's a stretch but I get the argument. What is your argument of these images being used for any kind of illustration or educational purpose? "Must be realistically useful for an educational purpose". Realistically, what purpose do this photos serve? Lady Lotus ([[User talk:Lady Lotus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 00:32, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

1. gosh, dear editor, i have one hundred times as many image uploads as you, i think i need to review project scope, i think i need to have a philosophical discussion with you, maybe if you YELLED LOUDER, and spoke slower, i would just understand your orders, maybe if you kept spamming my talk page, you could compel compliance; 2. you bring your english notability criteria where it does not belong, you seem very certain you can dictate that he will never be notable, you might want to address the matter of educational which is crystal clear; 3. looking forward to it, and no an admin will undelete these photos; 4. you first, i've got my credentials ready, see also next number, i have more barnstars than you, i've been to more wikimanias than you, i've been to more meetups than you; 5. you brought up the matter of professional conduct, i know what it is, i deal with professionals every day, you are not a professional, you do not know what a professional is; 6. the point is that you missed the earlier discussion and consensus of wide discretion of what educational is, that consensus trumps your personal opinion. the fact that Fae can bully into keeping his personal photos tends to undermine any attempt to curate educational photos. until you make a systemic curation effort, you are blowing smoke about the educational scope, it is merely i don't like it. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 01:18, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
Yea, that's what I thought. Figured you would just avoid the real question of the photos purpose and there you go again throwing out your useless personal "credentials". Continue to rant about you being "professional" while your photos get deleted. Bye now. PS - not notable :) Lady Lotus ([[User talk:Lady Lotus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 01:51, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
just as i thought, another nobody from nowhere, with delusions of grandeur. you have not actually done anything with your life, have you? i answered your questions, when do you actually answer my questions? or is the burden of proof always on the other person? the burden is on you to consistently apply the criteria of educational. and here's the upshot, the real professionals will not touch commons with a 10 foot pole, they will never bring their photos here. this is becoming a walled garden, cul de sac, like wikinews, but you can feel free to delete whatever random photo you can concentrate on.

Replacements on Marjory Collins files[edit]

Hi Slowking4,

Last October you did this replacement (along with similar ones on related files). It adds all kinds of parameters. However it adds both the author and permission field while they already exist. This causes the second parameter to override the first and causes the files to end up in the error category for duplicate arguments in templates. The permission one is especially problematic as the first one has the content and the second one is empty.

yeah i would say: don't be censorious of the smithsonian, they're above average; they were for the diffusion of knowledge before your grandfather was born; be censorious of the broken culture here, which is becoming a ideological "free" walled garden, and don't template the regulars. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 18:00, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
The Smithsonian is awesome, the person I was replying to is just (IMO) a enwiki warrior who occasionally trolls here (whether he sees it that way or not). His comment came across (to me) as a rather 'I don't know much, but want to complain about Commons". Within the strictly read statements of the Smithsonian about copyright they are not 'wrong', just easily misread. They are not specifically claiming copyright in that particular image... his comment was not really helpful, as the point had already been made. Revent ([[User talk:Revent|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:23, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
i agree, but i don't know about easily misread. this is the standard boilerplate of archivists. they just present the evidence to the researcher; they will not make determinations. it is not their job to hold uploaders harmless from making a determination. harumphing "exceedingly grave error" in an abundance of caution is a mistake. rather a risk assessment should be done; there are very few zero risk items. how do we change the commons culture to adopt a nuanced view of licensing, i.e. in the URAA fiasco.
& we need to engage with institutions on ground. the archivists agree with us, it's a matter of changing culture at top. maybe we need an FAQ about institutional claims; people were complaining about SI terms in 2007 [22] . Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 18:41, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, that is patently clear with the Smithsonian, since they say 'no known copyright restrictions' rather than making a definitive statement. Point being, evaluate the evidence, instead of accepting the statements of image archives at face value, and ignore (or mock) trolling.

SIA licensing[edit]

If File:Dr. Pepi Fabbiano.jpeg is "Source: Contributed by the subject of the photograph" and "Author: Pepi Fabbiano" then it is a personal picture, not from the Smithsonian Institution Archives. Secondarywaltz ([[User talk:Secondarywaltz|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 16:19, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

if a "personal picture" is saved, or even pledged to an archives, then it is an archival picture. do not edit war with me; it is disruptive. do not leave messages on my talk, for you are proven unreasonable. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 16:46, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
That's fair enough, if an OTRS from the archives covers that image too. The current description doe not attribute it to them. Note that a proper license is required in addition to that permissions tag, but the email will straighten that out. This is not an edit war - just getting it right. Secondarywaltz ([[User talk:Secondarywaltz|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 17:00, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
this SI license is based upon the generic "no known copyright restrictions exist" used for flickr transfers, such as this one: File:Mary Isabel McCracken (1866-1955).jpg. this archivist will not be returning for a while. maybe i should advise the Smithsonian Institution to transfer all their images to flickr, and then we will transfer images to commons only as needed in wikimedia, since commons has become a walled garden of rightness. Slowking4Farmbrough's revenge 17:09, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
I used Template:Tl for File:Dr. Denise Breitburg.jpeg which matches the source. That might be the appropriate licence for pictures of current emloyees with attribution to a photographer. The SIA tag also says "Please add additional copyright tags to this image" since it does not specify a license.

Jarekt - there are 28 files in Category:Photographs by Theodor Horydczak out of 14323 at the Library of Congress; i have created the custom license Template:PD-Horydczak for this special case. i will be going to the Library of Congress on Monday. would you like me to make a pdf copy of his log book or catalog record, which would establish who he was working for, for each negative? transcribing this evidence might take some time. you could alternatively mass delete the works. Slowking4Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 01:11, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
apparantly, the Library of Congress response is:
"U.S. federal government buildings and facilities. - Any client would be almost certainly the U.S. government, who is unable to copyright works.
Architects. Example: Louis Justement, architect. His name appears at the beginning of the title; he is the client. His firm or a successor would own any rights.
PEPCO. Pepco is the client. NOTE: This company is still in operation, and would hold any existing copyright.
Things to note: the Horydczak collection has been available online for over 20 years, with no rights claims asserted in that time."
so we are to infer by the first words in the description who commissioned the work. not very satisfactory. Slowking4Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 17:16, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

wow tweeting photographers [23] as an historical note. the macarthur foundation changed their terms to CC-BY 4.0 in 2014, and many of the previous years photos have metadata with boilerplate terms attached. however, as the tweet confirms, they are works for hire.

Revenge[edit]

Thanks for noting the unnecessary drama. I am still banned from new article creation. I created 400 biographies in my user space after the ban, then was banned from doing that. I now have a list of all the articles I want to create but cannot, see my user page. I won't be unblocked until I certify each of my first 7 years of edits, >30,000 edits, one by one in a CCI form, all have been buried deep into other people's rewritings and additions. It is a snipe hunt. It all started when I opposed someone at AFD and then they started looking at my edits to find 5 violations to trigger a CCI. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:57, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) - i should thank them, where would wikidata and wikisource get all the experienced editors, but from blocked people? it is a constant shift the burden on others, and veto others work, but "not enough time" to actually collaborate. you left off the "plargism study, where they found that 5% of all edits were copied and 2% of admins edits were copied; and rather than manage to reduce the percentage, it's demand perfection, and block people not admins.
the larger problem, they then bring their "adversive leadership" where-ever they go - to those other wikis, where they look out of place. some folks are writing in simple or other languages, where the "cultural buzzsaw" does not exist. and then we have to translate without tools. the extraordinary mass deletions to "RBI" are astonishing to the uninvolved. they are going to find it difficult to discipline in the future, as the active editors move to ip editing from phones, as discussed in the metrics meeting. no firm data on that but maybe they can roll out more filters.

Image suggestions[edit]

Hi Slowking4, I noticed you're helping out with User:Multichill/Same image without Wikidata. Great! You might like the update I just did: I've improved the matching based on the data from Category:Artworks with known accession number. Multichill (talk) 17:49, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

yes thanks for the tool. not being content with the information template backlog, i skipped over to your wikidata backlog. it seems to depend on artwork template, which misses the information to artwork problem (i.e. when we fix those there will be more to come). i do not notice a bot picking up the image property on wikidata, so i am adding them manually. and now a 50k maintenance category. thanks !? Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 18:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the information template backlog is and what the information to artwork problem is. Can you elaborate?
I noticed you had some uploads that linked to the right Wikidata item, but that item didn't have an image yet. I remember looking into that use case when I first wrote the bot, but didn't implement it.
Category:Artworks with known accession number is not a maintenance category, it's a tracker category like Category:Rijksmonumenten with known IDs. Because we have :Category:Artworks with known accession number now, it's possible to query the database to get the inventory numbers. For example File:Goyen_1640-45_Fishermen_hauling_a_Net.jpg now has the inventory number "NG6155" in the database and it will show up as a suggestion for d:Q26707772. Multichill (talk) 20:29, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
ok backlog tl;dr -
we have 280k files with no machine readable metadata.[27] &m:File_metadata_cleanup_drive/How_to_fix_metadata/nl
we have 10k artworks with no machine readable metadata. (subset) Category:Artworks missing infobox template
we have 1k artworks with information template Category:Template:artwork possible
to the extent your wikidata field is in artwork template but not information, this is an on-ramp problem for your metadata cleanup. in your example, JarektBot changed templates here [28], which i had not noticed before, i had been doing these by hand. i have been uploading images from National Gallery of Art, and wikidata does not appear to pickup the wikidata number on commons of the uploaded file, i had thought there was a bot on wikidata doing this. cheers Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 20:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
I just have a bot convert information to artwork every once in a while when User:Multichill/Painting images no artwork template gets too long, see for example this edit. Multichill (talk) 21:02, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
yes, there are older uploads by certain editors to cleanup. when i do them by hand i do try to find a source url. see also the following file uploaded to commons in July File:Small Study for a Nude G-001658-20120817.jpg and now wikidata done by hand [29]. Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 21:08, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
User:Multichill hi, i see your bot is adding wikidata numbers, when other bots changed from information to artwork template, but the fields are not filled in i.e. [30] is there a way to get the bots to do this task, or a semi-automated script? i tried VisualFileChange.js but it did not work well. i do not see a category or list to "improve metadata". cheers Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 15:24, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
My approach would be different: Make sure the data is on Wikidata and have Template:Tl retrieve this data. This way we only have to maintain the data only in one location: Wikidata. I'm about to do some initial steps with the Artwork template to make this possible. Multichill (talk) 15:46, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
User:Multichill - ok, but i see for this example [31] there on wikidata, you have not filled in: Date; Medium; Dimensions; Credit line. too soon? it would save me a lot of hand work if the metadata was getting sucked into wikidata, and then broadcast, reliably. Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 18:51, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
That's probably going to be added in the future. I haven't paid much attention to that sort of metadata because it wasn't really use somewhere else. If we're going to use it on Commons, it's an extra reason to start adding it.
In case you run out of images, on User:Multichill/Zandbak I'm working on a different way to get more suggestions and currently that's 700+ new suggestions. It works be looking for Template:Tl or Template:Tl and if the linked image has a Wikidata id. As you can see, images in creator templates like Creator:Jan van Eyck and Creator:Albrecht Dürer give some noise for which I haven't figured out how to filter it out, but that's easy to ignore by a human. Multichill (talk) 21:34, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
thanks, happy to help sum of all paintings (although i may get distracted by WLM this month) - would you care to do sum of all book illustrations? there are a bunch at Commons:Biodiversity Heritage Library. Template:Information Art of Life needs a wikidata field of course. Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 22:00, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States - Thank You![edit]

Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States - Logo (text under).svg

Hi there! Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States. We're excited to see people uploading thousands of photos from all over the country! You and others have collectively uploaded 4,929 photos so far, all of which are viewable at Category:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States (sorted by state).

We encourage you to continue contributing through the rest of the month. Uploading your photos of monuments isn't the only way to contribute, however. If you're interested, we have compiled a list of auxiliary ways to contribute - which include improving Wikipedia's coverage of historic and cultural sites, as well as finding existing free photos that can be shared on the Commons. While these contributions don't count towards the contest, we are still keeping track of them and they are great ways to contribute to the spirit of the project.

If you are interesting in contributing to Wikipedia, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places is also great place to start. The WikiProject showcases the work that has been done so far in covering NRHP sites, and can also help you find articles that need improving.

If you're on Twitter, give us a follow Twitter Logo Mini.svg @WLMUnitedStates for updates, news, and more.

If you have any questions between now or the end of the month, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 09:28, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Category:MacArthur Fellows[edit]

Before you get accused of scaling the Reichstag, I suggest (strongly) that you nominate these only in groups that you have specifically checked are actually 'from' the MacArthur Foundation... it seems quite likely there are images in here that are 'of' MacArthur Fellows, but not from that source, and a mass nomination of them all will create drama. Reventtalk 06:44, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

i uploaded them, that is where they are from. they all have the same rights statement. there are less than 1% from other sources including my camera, but it is easy to spot those, they are lesser quality.
i'm not scaling anything: decisions have consequences. the foundation changed their rights statement in 2014, the idea that you can email and tweak their statement is delusional. but yeah, wait a week = happy halloween, lol. Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 13:22, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
I was not really expressing an opinion, fyi, just commenting that if you nominated them 'all' regardless of the specific source that you were likely be to accused of pointy behavior. Reventtalk 11:01, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
User:Revent- i get accused of a lot of things; i could care less. i was informing the admin that i know the common source, the commons category, and consequences happen. happily, the son of betacommand, who could not find the group on his own, could not wait. his modus is clear - surfing recent uploads, and deleting everything in sight. more opprobrium for him.

Free Cultural Works[edit]

Just putting a few links here for possible future use. From the definition of "Free cultural work" at http://freedomdefined.org/Definition

"This document defines "Free Cultural Works" as works or expressions which can be freely studied, applied, copied and/or modified, by anyone, for any purpose."

Creative Commons https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/freeworks/ states very clearly the CC-BY licensed works are "Free Cultural Works"

"CC uses the definition of free cultural works at Freedom Defined to categorize the CC licenses. (Freedom Defined is an open organization of free culture advocates and researchers; the definition was developed by its community as a parallel to efforts such as the Free Software Definition, to have a standard for defining Free Culture.) Using that definition, material licensed under CC BY or BY-SA is a free cultural work."

and

Free Cultural Works means "Freedom to share copies of the work for any purpose. When you get a copy of a free cultural work, you can make and share as many copies as you want, wherever you want. This means you can put it on your blog or website, include it in books, share it on file-trading networks, sell it in stores, give it away on CDs–there is no limit on how many copies you can make or where you can copy them, and you can use them for any purpose, even commercially."

I've put the language from the License summary and the language from the license itself at the deletion request. Clearly anybody can use CC-BY licensed material and cannot impose additional restrictions.

What isn't clear about this?

Smallbones ([[User talk:Smallbones|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:57, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

in 2014, when MacArthur changed their license page, they added the CC-BY paragraph, previously it was all NC; ND. [34] and [35] Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 19:05, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States during the month of October! The United States contest saw over 1,700 people contribute over 11,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States and its territories. In addition to National Register of Historic Places sites, we welcomed uploads of sites designated by state- and local-level historical institutions and societies. Hundreds of these photos are already being used to illustrate Wikipedia articles!

We're excited to announce that our national judging process has concluded, and that we have selected the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States! We were amazed by all of the uploads, and regret having to narrow it down to just 10. That being said – congratulations to our national winners and their amazing shots! Our 10 winners will be sent to the international Wiki Loves Monuments jury, who will then select the winners of the international contest. If you're interested in seeing the winners of the other various national contests as they are announced, you may do so at Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 winners.

Finally, we have also created a feedback form for all participants in the United States to fill out. The survey is optional and anonymous, and only takes a minute or two – we hope to use the feedback to organize better events in the future!

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, and we hope to see you again for future Commons photography events! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 06:29, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

What, was someone saying the uploader is the source? Seems to me, Commons:Source is saying no. "Source" means where the uploader got it. The author may indeed be dead, and may be the source as well, for example by the gift of a relative's snapshots.

Category:All media supported by Wikimedia CH it is not the artist who died in 1938. if you want to say "no source" go for it. i take it this admin would prefer this, so he could delete it as "no source given".

Blurry tagging[edit]

Hi slowking,

I've tagged a few pictures from your #earth2trump photos as blurry, because they are blurry. I hope that you don't feel insulted. Cheers, Nikos Andronikos ([[User talk:Nikos Andronikos|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 21:40, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

yeah, just please don't delete - hard to be sharp in a smoky bar. Slowking4 § Richard Arthur Norton's revenge 01:09, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

low quality images[edit]

Hello. I noticed you recently uploaded a batch of images from A Woman of the Century, apparently taken from DJVU files, which may look decent as thumbnails but whose low resolution makes them not useful for much else (compare e.g. File:HARRIET MAXWELL CONVERSE.jpg to File:Harriet Maxwell Converse (full).png). I'm not familiar with VicuñaUploader, but if you can use it to upload higher quality versions of the same images, it would reduce the need for future uploads/replacements. Thanks for all that you do. Cheer, -Animalparty ([[User talk:Animalparty|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 21:22, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

the quality of the images is a function of the book scan at internet archive. it will take a sustained effort to check the book out at library of congress to get higher resolution. at least these do not have the moire effects of the ones replaced. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 01:47, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
I'm guessing it is a function of downloading as pdf, and/or converting to DJVU? I am able to get passable results by simply viewing full screen mode [37] and right-clicking a page to save and edit. This has been my go-to method for a while, especially for images that aren't already on Internet Archive Flickr stream, although it's probably not as quick or efficient for batch uploading. -Animalparty ([[User talk:Animalparty|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 00:36, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
i'm just taking a snip of the screen on a small screen. i could get more pixels on a large screen, but it would not be all that much better, at most x10. the book scanners in general do a lower resolution, enough to get the OCR text layer to work. with a flat bed we could get a x100 to x1000 resolution, but it will be more work. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 02:29, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
no - it is a difference of 736 pixel width using lossless crop toll versus 404 pixels using snip, which is a minor difference. a real flat bed scan could get 5000 pixels easy. i.e. File:Channel-islands-RG-208-AA-158-J-001.jpg Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 00:31, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

User talk page length[edit]

Hi !

I see that this talk page is becoming quite long. Some old browsers may have problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please archive this talk page in accordance with the guidelines laid out here. You can do this automatically with MiszaBot, and to quickly use a standard setup for MiszaBot, simply place {{subst:User:MiszaBot/usertalksetup}} at the top of your user talk page.

Thank you.

It is rather difficult to navigate & edit, weighing in at 1600 kB file size and 295 kB wikitext.   — Jeff G. ツ 00:05, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

the size would be much lower, if the semi-automatic scripts were done in lua. i am well aware of the problems with talk page size. as far as i am concerned, i do all my collaboration off wiki; this talk page is broken, just as the adversive notifications are broken.

Your message about stipends[edit]

Hi. Thanks for your message. Are you saying that the Wikimedia Foundation is going to start paying contributors to the Commons for photographing living people? Seriously? When did this happen? How often will this be?

Also, you say that I "missed some book festivals you covered in past years." Which ones were you referring to?

Thanks. Nightscream ([[User talk:Nightscream|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:27, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I actually covered the subsequent Brooklyn Book Festivals, I just haven't uploaded my photos from them because I'm so backlogged. Ditto with the last few New York Comic Cons, from which I've only uploaded a small sample of my pics. Nightscream ([[User talk:Nightscream|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

"Title"[edit]

Hello! I see a little problem here. The actual "title" of the portrait is unknown to us (as yet) and is likely to be in Swedish, in any case. "Gustav IV of Sweden" is the subject, but not, strictly speaking, the "title". If I knew a good way to adjust that, I would. Do you? --SergeWoodzing ([[User talk:SergeWoodzing|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 07:56, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Since you weren't in the original discussion, I think you missed a little of the context :-) I'm not talking about wikiphotography, if for no other reason than that I know it won't be of particularly impressive quality; I'm wanting a picture or two for my own collection, and anything that's not too bad will suffice.
