Abuse of rollback function

Please read Commons:Rollback#When_to_use_rollback and avoid using the function in the future. -- User:Docu at 20:55, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

You might want to read Commons:Rollback#Revocation_of_rollback_permission as well. If you don't want to discuss your edits, I think it's the least that you avoid reverting others. If you didn't understand my question on my user page, please say so. -- User:Docu at 21:12, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

about the QI categories

I will not argue that the leather tanning mediums in that one photograph are industrial or not (although, I think that if it came down to a discussion of it, industrial would win over any other subject category available there).

I object, however to it being categorized as a quality example of use of color in a photograph.

The QI promotions used to be managed without the bots help when they get to that holding area. Real live people were able to put the promoted images into more than one gallery, something that QICBot is unable to do at this time. That is the pertinent history to my problem with that image falling into that category.

Try this exercise: choose the proper gallery for that image based on its subject. Look at the images which previously sorted without the javascript interface and see what images which are considered to be quality examples of use of color. The first step in the exercise will help me to know that you understand the differences between subject and technical merit. Performing the second step will either help you to understand what my problem is or at least be able to argue for the image being an example of good use of color.

On a personal note, my family (long ago) played with decorative leather stuff. Wetting the leather and pounding relief images and dents into it. Even with this perhaps rare experience, we never dyed leather at home -- color was added topically like shoe polish is. I think that leather dye is at least a 90% industrial activity. In physics, in a perfect black box, 70% is considered to be "all". I don't like it much but that crappy/horrible/and still offensive to my senses application of laws of entropy onto this problem (of is leather dye industrial or not) is comparable to being true 120% of the time.

I am sorry that I don't think that you understand what the technical merit sections are about and that QICBot and javascript are responsible for your lack of understanding. Even if I am right, I am still sorry about this. -- carol (talk) 01:06, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Bonjour,

Je pense que tu pourrais proposer ta photo comme image de qualité, mais il vaudrait mieux qu'elle soit au format JPEG. Cordialement, -- Yann (talk) 19:05, 6 September 2009 (UTC) de Haute-Savoie aussi. ;oD

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Yann!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

missing hand

Hi Yann, I knew this "missing hand" might be a problem. I tried to make it to look like it is hidden behind not so clear glass, but I was relucant to add to my edit what was not there before. I did now File:Woman worker in the Douglas Aircraft Company plant1942 edit1.jpg. If you like the first version better, please revert to it. Thank you for your time.

Iconoclast

Dear Admin Yann Forget,

I made a comment here to Iconoclast's mass DRs. This is truly bad faith nominations...to nominate an image that is already under DR. It shows no respect to others who participate in the discussion on Greek FOP. I have been told by another Admin here that Greek FOP offers more leeway than French FOP and this appears to be a complex issue. So, it should not be rushed as this nominator prefers.

VI nomination

Hello, Yann!

Question about my mushroom photos. It is a rare edible fungi iodine bolete.

• File:Boletus_impolitus_2009_G1.jpg - This photo in good illumination and shows some mushrooms from diffirent angles.
• File:Boletus_impolitus_2009_G2.jpg - This photo of one mushroom, however shows, how it grows.

Both QI and both geocoded.

What is Your opinion concerning a VI nomination: nominate first, second or both as set?

I know that you are usually taken, therefore I do not wait for a quick reply. Please, answer at free time.

With best regards, --George Chernilevsky (talk) 09:23, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Gandhi smiling R.jpg

File:Gandhi smiling R.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Vandalism? With all due respect, surely you have a better explanation for reverting three sysops than "vandalism"? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:47, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I do also see it as Vandalism. Huib talk 15:56, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not doubting that it may have been unprofessional or inappropriate, but do you know what "vandalism" means? Vandalism is intentional destruction of content made with malicious intent.

missing source 2

Hi Yann, you've tagged some of my uploads as no source, but they are Own work. As I can see the uploader put "Trabalho Próprio" insted of Own work in source, I'm changing that and when you see "Trabalho Próprio" is portuguese for Own work ok? Marcocarvalho

Yann, What i have to do to prove to you that the files ARE mine? I'll not upload fullsize of my work, I only put in wikimedia and license in creative commons the small sizes for web... I put the source as Own work what I have to do? Sorry, but I think the terms of wikimedia don't specify the size of the pictures to be considerated "legal". What I have to do to the files don't be deleted? MarcoCarvalho

Hi. Could you please look over these contributions? It's quite clear the user did not create them all himself; moreover, some are clearly copyrighted (eg, [1]/[2]). Thank you. - Biruitorul (talk) 18:10, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Could you please explain further...

You deleted File:Rompehielos AP 46 Viel.jpg.

Could you please explain why?

Sometimes the robot-assisting tools for helping to upload flickr images confirm that a flickr image was published under a free liscense, but the flickrreview robot fails to confirm the liscense, once the image has been uploaded. When flickrreview failed to confirm the liscense for File:Rompehielos AP 46 Viel.jpg it didn't say it had a bad liscense. It said an administrator or trusted user had to do the liscense confirmation.

I checked the original flickr image page. I confirmed for myself it was under a free liscense. But, as the person who did the upload, I can't confirm the liscense.

So, if everything went according to schedule, you would have gone to the original flickr page, to be the human in the loop who checked the liscense -- correct? What did you find wrong with it?

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 05:18, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Pics

May you help me with this? Where do I put this kind of information? They are in black and White becouse it's more aesthetic and charming this way. They are made in 2005 here in São Paulo, Brasil, in a photo studio made inside a Yôga school. Take about 7 weeks to do arround 2400 poses photos and about 3 months of work to select the best 2400 pictures from 8000 photos taken.

Others admins looked to others uploads and they don't think it's something wrong, only you and Dann7 thinks something are wrong. You can look at my |Contributions and see that only the uploads revised by you and 1 picture revised by dann7 was marked as "missing source" when I clear put Own work in source. I put everery information that uploader asks as mandatory, so I think I'm under wikimedia terms. Sorry, but i think when I do a work I may have the right to chooge how I want to publish, when and how. Like I sad, in wikimedia terms I find no specification of minimum size required. If I missed some rule, please inform me to I can fit it.

But I ask you a favor to ask me only what is necessary within the terms of use of wikimedia, nothing more, nothing less. Can I count on your help?

Cya!

Orkut tamil pic

Hey hi,the orkut homepage pic in tamil uploaded by me yesterday was a screenshot.I took screenshot of it and so dunno what license i could place it under! Do screenshots come under copyright violations.Vatsan34 (talk)Vatsan34

reply

I got got your note.

Are you sure it didn't have a flickr link? That is how I checked it after the robot applied the tag. I just did a google search on Rompehielos AP 46 Viel site:flickr.com

You have the advantage of me, because you can see the image, and I can't, but I think it was one of these:

• http://www.flickr.com/photos/individuo/1391310537/
• http://www.flickr.com/photos/individuo/272643341/

I think Rompeheilos is Finnish for "icebreaker". I was looking for images of icebreakers.

I recently started using greasemonkey, and its flickr upload extension. Flickr images that can be uploaded automajically get a button added for doing so.

I suspect that when the flickrreview bot fails to recognize an image it is due to funky escape sequences hiding the flickr URL. Flickrreview does, occasionally, but regularly, fail.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 22:04, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

File:BMW E38 - black.jpg

[3] I believe its a mistake. File was tranfsered from plwiki with all accompanying information, including source and original author/uploader. Masur (talk) 11:34, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

• I'd asked the original uploader about that just couple days ago before I tagged the picture as proper to be moved to Commons. He replied that he is the author and because I couldnt find this image anywhere (I googled around for it) I've just assumed his good faith (the user didnt have any problems with CV at plwiki neither). Moreover the car depicted in this picture is obviously from Poland (look at license plates). And a white background and a shadow effect were created using some graphic software (original background was removed) and it doesnt look to professional ;). So all together, imo, there is no point in assuming that the picture is a copyright violation of any kind. Masur (talk) 11:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Why the hell did you delete this image? This file gots a valid source, an valid author and a valid author, it just needed some cleaning up! This lazy ass deleting of files which can be cleaned up easily seriously pisses me off. Do you want to scare users away from Commons? Do you want to piss of the local wiki's? These kind of deletions are very damaging to Commons. Multichill (talk) 15:56, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

The source of the images of this composition is lacking. Yann (talk) 15:58, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Me and some other people spend a lot of time to get images and users to Commons. This is not an easy process because users are sceptical. The prime reason why people don't like Commons: Deletionist administrators. Actions like this one might seem regular or small to you, but are very bad for this process. I might have been somewhat direct in my post but that's only because you need to understand the impact. If you understand the impact you might in the future ask the original uploader for clarification instead of deleting it right away. Multichill (talk) 17:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

If you see me as a Deletionist, you are all wrong. I am a Inclusionist since the beginning. There was a warning, and the deletion just followed the normal process. BTW this was a duplicate, and the source is now included here: File:Indonesia portal.jpg (well still missing for the 3rd image). Yann (talk) 17:24, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

No, there was no warning. The user wasn't notified of the pending deletion. Multichill (talk) 17:30, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree that is not good. I always take care that the user is correctly warned of anything. But ask Martin H. He added the tag. Yann (talk) 17:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

  • I agree. I too thought about it. Probably, flowers (bouquet), instead or a female portrait? In territory of the former USSR it is the big holiday and the day off. With best regards, -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 18:52, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

I saw you notified the user of possibly copyright violations. I nominated a dozen of his pictures as such just by entering a few names into Google, what about the rest? Do we have to go through them all one by one and search for the original when a user has a history of violating copyright? Hekerui (talk) 00:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

File:Auto wreck, Maryland, 1923.jpg is an excellent image. Thank you for uploading it. I wonder how you know it was in Maryland? Do you recognize the building in the background? The LOC page does not say where this is. Thank you. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 13:08, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Look at the car license plate. ;o) Yann (talk) 15:03, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Okay, then, I'm removing the "Maryland" category. I think you made a mistaken assumption based on noticing that plate. Look at both license plates on the car. It has a Maryland and a Washington, D.C. plate. At the time there was not yet an interstate license plate agreement, so cars that regularly drove in multiple states or juristictions had to have multiple license plates. Since this vehicle has plates for both Washington and Maryland, the photo is probably taken at one or the other of those places; I don't think anything more specific can be deduced unless there's some other evidence. I think retitling the image might be appropriate. Suggested alternative titles? Maybe "Chevrolet auto wreck, 1923"? Thanks. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 13:11, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Well OK, as you like. Seeing that it is linked to many pages, I am not so sure about renaming it. Yann (talk) 22:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Yann. I just uploaded an image which you had previously deleted as a copyvio. I'm hoping this version is not as I found it suitably licensed at Flickr. However, it appears that English Wikipedia has a file with the identical filename uploaded so would I need to get the one I uploaded renamed in order to use it there? Or should I upload it again? Thanks in advance. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:35, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for information! I wish you all the best in India, that I know you love very much. We sure have not nearly enough pictures from that beautiful and excotic country. I am looking forward to see more of your images from India. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:39, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

DjVu files

Hi Yann, Are you experiencing problems with the upload of DjVu files as I am? I can't understand why nobody cares, perhaps It's my fault. (See bug 20811.) Thank you, Nemo 09:36, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Bonjour,

oui j'avais indiqué le site http://www.matogrosso.com.br/ mais sur une photo qui a été supprimée depuis, donc plus aucun rapport. J'ai depuis ajouté une nouvelle photo LA MIENNE.

Pourriez-vous s'il vous plait m'envoyer l'ensemble du code à insérer pour MA PHOTO que j'ai ajouté, ou corriger vous-même si vous pouvez

Merci d'avance.

J'ai aussi insérer cette même photo sur Flickr.

Il y a un problème avec ce ficher, les pages 22-23 sont des double des 24-25. Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour les effacer? Comme il y a une couche texte, je ne peux pas utiliser DjVu Solo (3.0 que j'ai), et DjView ne peut qu'effacer les pages au début et à la fin d'un document. V85 (talk) 23:53, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
