Your Stained Glass Window Image

Hello. I am interested in using your photograph of the high priest in the stained glass window of the church in Ireland for a book that is being published. May I contact you with the details via e-mail? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.144.182.113 (talk • contribs) 03:37, 21 January 2016‎ (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Mehmet VI Vahidettin.jpg

Could you re-review? Template:PD-Ottoman says that the successor country laws - Turkey - matter here. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:08, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adam Cuerden, the problem is that {{PD-Ottoman}} was changed without updating COM:CRT#Ottoman Empire which is the natural first reference in such cases. This was discussed at Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2012/08#PD-Ottoman Empire. I even participated in that discussion but I did not remember that when I closed the DR. I've limited time in the moment but I will reconsider this DR as soon as I have time, either late at this evening or tomorrow. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 15:34, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Done. --AFBorchert (talk) 23:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

File:Greek Head of a woman DMA loan 62-2009-6.jpg

Hi, I am interested by using one of your picture, a head in the Dallas Museum, for a publication in Libyan Studies. Is it possible ? I will of course quote your name in the credits. Thanks you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theuchrestos (talk • contribs) 12:41, 10 February 2016‎ (UTC)

Hi Theuchrestos, the photo File:Greek Head of a woman DMA loan 62-2009-6.jpg was not taken by me but by FA2010 who put it in the public domain. Hence, you can use this photo in any way you want. If you want to attribute it, you should attribute it to FA2010. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 12:48, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Re: Your candidacy as admin

Hi AFBorchert, thank so mucho for taking the time to review my candidature, the community has spoken again and I humbly accept the results, I am very happy to have heard all the opinions, good and bad. I have valued the negative comments with references because that help me improve as a user and as a person in my real life and I think that some negative comments have been of great value to improve my assertiveness and also I must learn to manage emotions and to not address any lack of respect for people here. I feel very sad about the result, however, Now I have extra time to devote to other things :). Thanks again. --The Photographer (talk) 01:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ilario, whenever you need it, just leave a note at COM:BN. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 14:32, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

A quick note while away

I'm away for almost one month as my wife is suffering for Endometrial stromal sarcoma, metastasis. I was aware that my name is mentioned at Commons:Administrators/Requests/The Photographer and was accused for "This user deserved so much more than that, he insulted someone in my family out of the wiki." I didn't want to complain as I/we are suffering much more than that at that time (and still in the regional cancer centre). I hoped such discussion will die and people move on. But sadly, I just saw repeated related discussions, edit-wars, and more bad faith accusations are going on. I still prefer not to comment. But now it looks like the initial disturbance is neglected and seems proceeding for one sided sanctions. If true, it is terribly sad and unhelpful to the well being or the community. The better option is to ask both sides to step back. Just my thoughts; I've no time or mood to interfere. And I've no formal complaints to the one who accused me though "[I] insulted someone in my family out of the wiki" is unfounded. Jee 04:33, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

My images contributions

Dear AFBorchert,

I trust you're fine. Thank you for deleting the files. I am very grateful. I misunderstood images licensing in the past but now I have a better understanding of how things work. I want to learn. Could you please allow me to be under your tutelage for some months/year? Thanks in advance.Wikicology (talk) 17:00, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Wikicology, you are very much welcome to ask for help at my talk page whenever you need help. However, please be aware that occasionally I am quite busy in my professional life and in each year there is a time span where I stay in Ireland with very limited Internet connectivity. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 17:55, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much, AFBorchert. Anytime I don't hear from you, I will understand that its due to limited internet connectivity. Warm regards. Wikicology (talk) 18:31, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

I need Help

Hi AFBorchert, I trust you're fine. I want some of my deleted images restored. I told the photographer that took the images that he need to contact Common OTRS for the images to be undeleted. Please, what will Common OTRS need if the original photographer uses a Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail email address. Thank you. Wikicology (talk) 14:30, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Wikicology, the photographer should contact permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with following contents:

• all the files for which a permission is given shall be attached, if possible using original files generated by the camera with full EXIF data (usually we expect the names at Commons but as the files are deleted now, this would be hard to verify for the photographer)
• a declaration of consent from Commons:Email templates#E-mail template for release of rights to a file should be copied into the email and adapted:

• choice of free license by the copyright holder: the template suggests Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International but any other free license conforming to COM:L may be chosen as well
• the credit line of the attribution, i.e. how would the photographer like to be named (any name is possible, e.g. real name, nick name, organizational name, or staying anonymous),

• a notice that the images were already uploaded and deleted at Commons with reference to Wikicology (support team members who are also Commons admins can browse through your deleted contributions and find the initial upload).

The photographer should be prepared to receive and answer possible questions in follow-up emails. All email addresses are fine provided the files have been published nowhere else. In case of publications elsewhere, the photographer shall refer to them giving URLs. Further instructions would then follow whenever an initial contact has been made. --AFBorchert (talk) 18:37, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much. This is very helpful information and I am giving it to the photographer. It was very, very nice for you to explain this to me. Warm regards. Wikicology (talk) 06:05, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Wiki Joachim Kretzer

Lieber AFBorchert,

ich möchte Sie um Ihre Hilfe bitten. Ich bin die reale Person hinter dem Synonym "Sappersteen", Joachim Kretzer. Vor einiger Zeit versuchte ich mehrfach vergeblich, das Foto auf dem Wikipedia-Eintrag von "Joachim Kretzer" durch ein neues, aktuelleres und besseres zu ersetzen. Das jetzige Foto ist veraltet, technisch sehr schlecht, erweckt den Eindruck, daß Joachim Kretzer ein Moderator und kein Schauspieler ist und wird dem Künstler in keiner Weise gerecht. Ich bin leider technisch nicht besonders versiert, deshalb sind meine Foto-Vorschläge nicht hochgeladen worden.

Können Sie mir bitte helfen, dies zu tun. Ich wäre Ihnen sehr dankbar. Bei Rückfragen Ihrerseits freue ich mich auf Ihre Nachricht. Mit herzlichen Grüßen

Joachim Kretzer — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.172.71.229 (talk • contribs) 16:32, 14 June 2016‎ (UTC)

Hallo Joachim Kretzer, zunächst wäre es gut, wenn Sie kontinuierlich unter Verwendung Ihres „Sappersteen“-Zugangs arbeiten würden. Dann müssen Sie auch nicht jedesmal betonen, dass Sie „Sappersteen“ bzw. Joachim Kretzer sind. Es ist gut, dass Sie sich angemeldet haben. Entsprechend ist es auch sinnvoll, durchgängig mit dem Zugang zu arbeiten. Ich sehe, dass es bei Joachim Kretzer ein Hin- und Her gab bezüglich der Bildauswahl. Da die Änderung offensichtlich umstritten ist, wäre es am geschicktesten, wenn Sie auf der zugehörigen Diskussionsseite eine entsprechende Diskussion zur Bildauswahl eröffnen würden. Verweisen Sie dabei auf das von Ihnen bevorzugte Bild und erklären Sie, warum das Bild geeigneter ist. Auf der Wikipedia werden solche Entscheidungen im Konsens getroffen. Wenn Sie das Gefühl haben, dass eine Diskussion nicht erfolgreich verläuft, können Sie auch um weitere, unabhängige Meinungen bitten, indem Sie unter WP:3M (3M = dritte Meinung) auf die Diskussion verweisen.

Wahrscheinlich würden Sie wohl File:Kretzer 2015.jpg oder File:Hamburg 2016.jpg bevorzugen, die Sie selbst hochgeladen haben. Beide Bilder sind jedoch ganz offenbar nicht von Ihnen fotografiert worden, sondern von Andreas Berthel und Christian Klopp. Es ist gut, dass Sie die Fotografen genannt haben, aber auf Wikimedia Commons sind bei Bildern, bei denen der Hochlader die Urheberrechte nicht besitzt, diese unmittelbar mit den Urhebern zu klären. Dies funktioniert, indem Sie oder die Fotografen mit Bezug auf die jeweiligen Bilder das Support-Team kontaktieren. Die Adresse für deutschsprachige Kommunikation ist permissions-commons-de@wikimedia.org. Wenn Sie selbst das Support-Team kontaktieren, sollten Sie in jedem Fall auch die E-Mail-Adressen der beiden Fotografen nennen und die beiden darauf vorbereiten, dass sie dann von uns kontaktiert werden, um die Bildrechte abzuklären.

Erst wenn dieser Prozess abgeschlossen ist (das kann sich über mehrere Wochen hinziehen), sollten Sie diese Bilder als Ersatz vorschlagen, da Bilder, deren Rechte noch nicht abgeklärt sind, nicht in Artikeln verwendet werden sollten.

Im übrigen sollten wir File:Hamburg 2016.jpg umbenennen, da es nicht Hamburg zeigt, sondern Ihr Porträt. Was halten Sie von File:Joachim Kretzer 2016.jpg?

Viele Grüße, AFBorchert (talk) 17:28, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Help with deleted files

Hi AFBorchet,

How are you today? I trust you're fine. Could you please restore these deleted files, File:Adekunle Ajasin Senate Building.jpg and File:Ighare Iloro.jpg? I am the owner of the files. I took the images with my device. Thank you. Wikicology (talk) 20:37, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Wikicology, undeletions should be requested at COM:UDEL as undeletions (much like non-speedy deletions) are usually processes which are open for participation by the community including other admins. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 20:53, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Cueva Charles Brewer

Hallo AFBorchert,
gestern bin ich zufällig auf ein Dokument gestossen, bei dem ich mir zunächst nicht viel dabei dachte, dass ich inzwischen aber höchst wahrscheinlich für eine Urheberrechtsverletzung halte. Es geht um das PDF-File in der Category:Cueva Charles Brewer (das andere Bild wurde aus der Datei extrahiert). Ein Duplikat im Web habe ich zwar nicht gefunden, aber Text und Bilder stammen wohl von den Betreibern der Seite http://audy.speleo.cz/Chimanta/esp.html, also von Marek Audy, Branislav Šmída oder Personen in deren Umfeld. Eine Textvorschau ist hier zu finden. Man könnte bei audy.speleo.cz kurz nachfragen, ob das seine Ordnung hat, allerdings habe ich selber eine starke Abneigung, irgendwelche Texte auf ausländisch zu schreiben. Alternativ kann man natürlich vorsorglich einen Löschantrag auf die Dateien stellen (und das ist wohl das Mittel der Wahl). Allerdings mag ich das gerade auch nicht selber machen. Da dachte ich mir, frag' ich doch jemand, der mit dem Themengebiet nicht befasst ist und der nicht so großes Bedauern hat, wenn diese Datei weg ist...
Vielen Dank und Herzlichen Gruß, --Gras-Ober (talk) 10:02, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis Gras-Ober. Aufgrund Deines Hinweises habe ich jetzt einen Löschantrag gestellt. Viele Grüße, AFBorchert (talk) 10:23, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Passengers boarding a train at Union Station in Regina, Saskatchewan, circa 1915.jpg

I have recently had my wrist slapped for adding to a DR after closure, so I'm taking the long way around. In view of Jcb's comment that there is no source for publication, you might add that the Canadian rule is that all photographs taken before 1/1/1949 are PD. Without that, many might wonder why a 1915 image with no proof of publication is PD. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:34, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jameslwoodward, you are raising an important point. Thank you, for addressing this. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 14:16, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Vitraux de la cathédrale de Bayeux

Je suis désolé mais l'anglais fait un peu deux avec moi. En tout cas, thanks!

Deletion :File:Rus-1113-1194.png and two others

Entschuldigen Sie bitte, but three maps you recently deleted (Rus-1113-1194, Rus-1389, Rus-1389-lg) had the underlying (geographical) base map created by me on base of data from OpenStreetMaps exactly according to your recommendations. Unfortunately I used usual but possibly misleading abbreviation OSM in my answer. By using "printed maps" I meant just consulting them in complex cases like finding out the position of certain populated places, swamps, names of rivers ans so on. None of the deleted maps are derived from copyrighted maps. I'm ready to document this in full detail in description for each map. Bearing this in mind, could you undelete those files or should I add a formal Undeletion request? --Koryakov Yuri (talk) 10:56, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Koryakov Yuri, please file an undeletion request for them that elaborates from which sources and how your maps were derived from. You should explain from which the coast lines, frontiers etc. where derived (preferably by linking to the corresponding maps of OpenStreetMap) and then be willing to adhere to the copyright and license of OpenStreetMap. When printed maps were used for anything, you should explain what has been used and provide a bibliographic reference to the printed map. Once the files are undeleted, you should update the source description accordingly and take care of the OpenStreetMap license. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 13:12, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, help us undeletion request, we don't understand all Commons formalities. Thousands readers of Wikipedia are waiting for these maps. There are no doubts, Koryakov Yuri is professional author of all these maps. Thanks. — Yuriy V Dzyadyk (t • c), 13:51, 24 October 2016 (UTC).

Normandie and Basse-Normandie

Sorry for my very bad english. Regions of France are changing. It is usefull to have old (ie Bassse-Normandie here) and new categories (Normandie here) at the same time during this (long?) change. We have to make sure that no mistakes are done in moving categories (ie verify by other users). It is also the case for other categories and other regions of France. But "Basse Normandie" will desapear as soon as possible. Kind regards.Palamède (talk) 06:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Palamède, I've continued the discussion at your talk page. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 19:30, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Bonjour. Merci de me permettre de m'exprimer en français.

Il est vrai que ce n'est pas à moi de décider s'il faut garder ou non une catégorie "Basse-Normandie".

En revanche je ne crois pas qu'on puisse se passer de la catégorie "Normandie":

1) L'existence géographique, historique et culturelle (Cf les noms de personnes Normand et Lenormand) de la Normandie (du mot et de la chose) est importante et très ancienne (eg Il y a eu un duché de Normandie (ni haute, ni basse).

2) L'idée de Basse-Normandie est plus tardive.

3) La séparation administrative en Haute et Basse Normandie est récente. Elle a été contestée par une partie des normands. Un mouvement pour la "réunification" de la Normandie s'était même créé à cette occasion.

4) La réorganisation administrative de 2016 a créé certaines entités bizarres et/ou contestées ("Grand Est" = Alsace + Lorraine + Champagnes-Ardennes). Les wikipédiens développent néanmoins la catégorie correspondante.

5) Cette ré-organisation a au contraire réunifiée une Normandie qui avait été artificiellement divisée

En conclusion (provisoire), je pense que le développement de la catégorie "Normandie" est nécessaire (et même indispensable), mais il est vrai que je ne sais pas quoi faire de la Basse-Normandie. Bonne continuation.Palamède (talk) 07:52, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

St. James Churches

Hallo Andreas, da du dich offensichtlich (im Gegensatz zu mir) mit dieser Thematik auskennst ist es ja ganz gut, wenn du dich dessen annimmst; und aus meinem unbeholfenen Versuch der Übersichtgewinnung etwas Solides machst. Guten Erfolg! sarang♥사랑 13:50, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Sarang, ich würde vorschlagen, die von Dir angelegte Kategorie Category:St. James Churches zu löschen und die darin enthaltenen Kirchen in die korrekten Kategorien einzusortieren, sofern dies noch nicht geschehen ist bzw. soweit bekannt ist, welcher St. James jeweils gemeint ist. In der Mehrheit der Fälle handelt es sich um Jakobus den Älteren, aber es gibt schließlich auch Kirchen, die Jakobus dem Jüngeren gewidmet sind. Ferner gibt es auch noch Jakobus von Nisibis, Jakobus von Oldo etc. pp. Viele Grüße, AFBorchert (talk) 14:06, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Ja, das müsste irgendwer machen. Ich bin da nicht der Fachmann, wie schon oben gesagt. Doch denke ich dass die unerwünschte Kategorie möglicherweise als Metakategorie der beiden von dir genannten geeignet wäre, und temporär einstweilen noch als Sammelbecken der noch-nicht spezifizierten Kirchen dienen mag. Ich denke du wirst das schon richtig machen, und überlasse deshalb alles dir. Du wirst auch entscheiden ob eine Aufteilung in St. James Churches by country sinnvoll ist und was da noch alles ansteht. Gruss sarang♥사랑 11:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign for User:The Photographer

Please excuse me spamming you, which concerns Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign. My contributions cover the architecture and culture of Brazil and Venezuela. I has basic photographic equipment: an old D300 camera and 35mm lens, and it is very expensive for me to acquire this equipment. I has recently taken several images using the technique where multiple frames are stitched together to create a high-resolution panorama. However, many times frustrated with the stitching errors that result from trying to take such photos without a proper panoramic head for his tripod. This special equipment permits the camera to be rotated around the entrance pupil of the lens, and eliminates such errors. Having a panoramic head would greatly increase the potential for The Photographer to create sharp high-resolution images for Commons. In addition, the purchase of a camera with a fisheye lens would enable 180 × 360° panoramas to be taken, which are a great way to explore a scene as though one is really there.

Please see the discussion about the Crowd-funding campaign on User talk:The Photographer#Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign and visit the Generosity Crowd-funding Campaign page to consider donating. Even a modest donation will make a difference if many people contribute. Thanks. --The Photographer 13:44, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
