Hi, I'm Danmichaelo. I'm mostly active on Norwegian Wikipedia, where I'm administrator, but I spend quite some time on other wikis as well. On Commons, most of the photos I've uploaded are transferred from other free sources. Sometimes I also scan figures I happen to come across in old books, or extract them from PDFs scanned by others. I've done a few figures myself using matplotlib and Inkscape. Of course, I'm also tempted to upload my own photographs from time to time, but I have this bad feeling they are the least useful contributions I make here :)

Apart from uploading, I do categorization, template work and localization to nb.

Tips 'n tricks[edit]

Extract images from pdfs using pdfimages and convert non-png files to png:

pdfimages -j input.pdf output
ls | grep output | grep -v .png | sed 's/\..\{3\}$//' | tr \\n \\0 | xargs -0 -I {} convert '{}*' '{}.png' ;

Random things I should remember[edit]

  • {{Artwork}} is an alternative to {{Information}} template used for the description of images of artworks, especially those residing in museums or galleries. Faithful reproductions (without specific creative contribution from the photograph) of 2D art only require a license for the artwork, like {{PD-art}}. Copyrightable photos of 2D art and photos of 3D art (sculptures, structures, coins, gems, etc.) require a licence for the depicted artwork and a licence for the photograph itself. In such cases, {{Art Photo}} is recommended.
  • {{Photograph}} is an alternative used mostly for the detail descriptions of historical photographs, especially those residing in museums or galleries.
