Hello Arilang1234!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 16:32, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Google images

Responding to your message on my talk page... yes, unfortunately, images you find on the Internet are almost always copyrighted, and cannot be uploaded to Commons without permission from the photographers (unless the photos are old enough for the copyright to have expired, but this is typically a very long time, and the rules differ by country). If you alter a photo with photoshop, you are creating a derivative work of the original, which is still subject to the copyright of the original (as long as there are any traces of the original in there). You can't distribute it (or upload it to Commons) without the permission of the author of the original either (this is spelled out in copyright law; authors can control all derivative works). Most especially, don't use any images marked as "fair use" on Wikipedia. Therefore, I would expect most or all of your uploads to be deleted. If a photograph was published in China more than 50 years ago, you may be able to argue to keep it under the terms of {{PD-China}}. Hope this helps... as discouraging as it may seem, we follow copyright law, and try to encourage people to go take their own pictures and upload them with a free license.

[edit] Image:Naval battle between Taiping-Qing on Yangtze.jpg

This image is a photo taken 300 years ago, is about a naval battle fought between Manchu and Taiping rebels in the mid-19th century. In my opinion, there should not be any copy-right issue.Arilang1234 (talk) 22:44, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PD-Art

To use PD-Art, we have to know that the original art is public domain. Usually, that means knowing the artist died more than 70 years ago (or 50 for China I think), or at least know that it was first published long enough ago to be sure that it wouldn't matter who the artist is. In short... we need to know some information about when the art was originally published, so we can make a case for it being public domain. Art with no information whatsoever we usually don't keep either (maybe it was only published 30 years ago, and is still copyrighted, for example). Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Further images (shade of blue)

I don't want to take sides when I'm not really sure who's correct, but I've given you clues that will help you edit SVGs on your own. SVG files are text files, and can be opened in a regular text editor (though certain files need a UTF-8 aware text editor). AnonMoos (talk) 07:56, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks AnonMoos, your help is very much appreciated. Arilang ^talk 08:05, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know that I want to get involved in "lobbying" or content disputes; I gave you an example of how to modify SVG files (which is much better than uploading GIFs and JPEGs to replace SVGs), but such technical advice is about as far as my interest in this matter goes. The main Chinese flags that I've created images of are File:Chinese-Army-Wuhan-Flag-1911-1928 dots18.svg and File:Chinese-Army-Wuhan-Flag-1911-1928 dots19.svg, and fortunately they don't contain any blue at all! AnonMoos (talk) 12:29, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

@AnonMoos, I do appreciate your help, like I said, I am now trying to learn how to handle SVG, and I believe pretty soon I should be able to work on it a bit.

I just like to point out the fact that File:Flag of the Republic of China.svg is under full protection, and its creator admin Zscout370 seems to be taking some sort of break, the situation becomes difficult, because it is not only en:wikipedia is using that file, Chinese wiki, Japanese wiki, Korean wiki, plus many other wiki are using that file too; without releasing the File:Flag of the Republic of China.svg from full protection into semi-protection, hundreds of wiki would be stuck with the disputed image. I hope you understand the scope of the problem

[edit] File:ROC Navy Military flag(alternate blue).png

Sorry, but that image has a number of technical problems -- SVG files are now preferred for flag images, anwyay... AnonMoos (talk) 12:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice, AnonMoos. Well you might have guess I am very in-experience with SVG or PNG or jpeg. What happen was I for the first time ever, using open office.org Draw. I spend the whole day, just managed to upload some files onto commons. Please feel free to point out where went wrong, because I am just beginning to use open office Draw.

Just now I use open office draw to construct a SVG file, but the SVG file is web page. Now I do not know how to upload a web page onto commons. Hope you can help me.

Arilang ^talk 12:43, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:ROC Navy Military flag(alternete blue).svg

user AnonMoos, please have a look. Arilang ^talk 14:07, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, from a purely technical point of view it was pretty bad -- there was a small blurry JPEG embedded, while SVG files are really intended to be for vector data which can scale up without being blurred. All you had to do was to perform a substitution on File:Naval Jack of the Republic of China.svg similar to what I previously did on File:Flag of the Republic of China (alternate blue).svg. See the current version of File:ROC Navy Military flag(alternete blue).svg ... AnonMoos (talk) 01:54, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I can see the svg is now very clear. One iportant thing I have not work out is how to convert the text on a text editor(say microsoft Word) into a svg file. Could you give me some advice on this question?

I have open office.org installed, and I am beginning to use open office Draw,(first time ever use this software). Will be very happy if you could give me more tips.

Just to let you know that how many svg files need to be work on: zh:中華民國國徽

Arilang ^talk 02:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't actually edit SVG files within programs (I use Inkscape to test and convert SVG files, but not to edit them), and I hand-edited File:Flag of the Republic of China (alternate blue).svg and File:ROC Navy Military flag(alternete blue).svg within a text editor (Windows Notepad or similar) to simply replace instances of "#082567" with "#0000AA"... AnonMoos (talk) 04:17, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, now I know that there is a XML file on my Notepad, this is where I got stuck, as I do not know what to do with this XML file. I only have open office.org on my computer, not Inkscape. Arilang ^talk 05:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Urgent help needed

Please have a look File:Republic of China National Emblem.svg, I have made a big blunder, I change the color, somehow the size went all wrong. Could you please help to change it back to its original size ? Thanks.

I have managed to upload 520 by 520, the correct size is 270 by 270, I shall try to work it out. Arilang ^talk 07:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Just download the "08:04, 26 December 2008" version of Republic_of_China_National_Emblem.svg‎ (i.e. the file at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/a/a0/20090525071206%21Republic_of_China_National_Emblem.svg ) and open it in a fricken simple plain text editor (like Notepad if you're on Windows, kwrite if you have a KDE Linux system, or many many others) and then search and replace all instances of "#082567" to "#0000AA", and then re-save it in text file format (but with an ".svg" filename extension), and re-upload that file. I won't be re-uploading in this manner over File:Republic of China National Emblem.svg, because that would imply that I'm making a statement that I know which shade of blue is correct, when in fact I don't know which shade of blue is correct... AnonMoos (talk) 16:19, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again AnonMoos, File:Republic of China National Emblem.svg all done, had I knew this trick before, it would have save a lot of headaches.

One more thing remain for me to do is File:Flag of the Republic of China.svg , this file need to be moved from full protection into semi-protection, it needs the intervention of another admin. Arilang ^talk 21:39, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your edits to Republic of China files

Hi! Thank you for the contributions that you've made to Wikimedia Commons! Please refrain from systematically changing files relating to Republic of China flags and emblems without a prior discussion and a concensus from Commons editors. The files here at Commons are shared by all the Wikimedia projects, and a systematic change such as the change of the RGB values of the Republic of China flags and emblems should be done only when there is sufficient concensus. As you can see from your query under the talk page of File talk:Flag of the Republic of China.svg, it is still far from that. Thank you! --Shibo77 03:35, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks user: Shibo77 for your comment.

Please note that I am not systematically changing files , I just point out the error made by User:Zscout, admin/creator of File:Flag of the Republic of China.svg, because of wrong use of #082567. And for some unknown reason, User Zscout has not responsed since 20 May, which is three weeks ago.
Regarding to concensus, evidence presented by IP User 128.208.37.203 is very weak, to say the least, since he/she admitted that:Quote:Although there is no any restriction of the shade of the flag by any law. Unquoted. I am not familiar with rules in wikicommons, but in wikipedia, when come to voteing, like AfD, IP user does not count.

Arilang ^talk 07:07, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the reply! Please do not change all the files that involve the white sun on blue skies here on Wikimedia Commons en masse without prior concensus. When no concensus has been reached or that no prior discussions were made, then you should not make any changes to the file unless it's trivial technical changes or vandalism reverts. If you insist on changes to the files but a concensus has not resulted, then you should create a new file and upload it under a new name, after that, you may use that new file in the local Wikimedia wiki of your choice. This is because files uploaded by editors on Wikimedia Commons (provided they meet the licensing requirements) are shared by all Wikimedia wikis. They are free to exist on Wikimedia Commons (so to speak), regardless of inaccuracies or the POV nature of their content. When an editor embeds a file on a local Wikimedia wiki, then that editor has to adhere by the rules previously set forth on that local wiki. For example, you think that there exists an inaccuracy in all the Wikimedia Commons files which contain the white sun on blue skies image. Then you should start a discussion on the Commons files' talkpages, wait for others' inputs, and agree to a final concensus, before making any changes to the Commons files. As a temporary measure, you could upload different files under different names such as the set of "...(alternate blue)" files that you or others have uploaded onto Commons. These could then be used on local Wikimedia wikis such as the English Wikipedia, provided they conform to local wiki rules. Without a concensus being reached, you should not change the original Commons files, thus I have reverted the changes. Reversion to an older version made after a concensus (albeit an older discussion) against a recent one made without a concensus needs no discussion. However, if a recent concensus was indeed reached to have a lighter shade of blue, and that I have somehow missed reading where that concensus was reached, then I apologise, and you are in the right to revert to the lighter shade of blue. Otherwise, please use an alternate file until a concensus has been reached, while keeping the older and darker shade of blue. Thank you! --Shibo77 15:57, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Arilang1234 你好！近几天我们两人在关于更改“青天白日”及其派生旗帜色彩的讨论中切磋一番。我想可能是因为我的英语表达能力尚不成熟的缘故，致使讨论缺乏条理、上文不跟下。这次改用中文，用母语来交流，望有助于沟通理解，以促进共识的达成！共享资源上的“青天白日”旗、徽等文件之所以现时出现编者间意见的分歧，源于中华民国尚没有明确规定其旗帜与徽章色度的相关法律文件来做依据。颜色为青、白、红三色这是毫无争论的，因为这有法律证据在先。那么既然青色的色度没有明确的法律规定，这就意味着旗帜只要采用青色，便是合格合法的旗帜。实际便是如此。互相比较，不同场景下的中华民国国旗上的青、红两色的色度有着明显的差异，国旗制造商与网站上的平面图片设计人员对“青”色的实际色度有着不小的自由发挥的余地。不妨在搜索引擎上输入“青天白日满地红”后，看看你得到的结果中“青”色色度的多样化。都符合法律颜色“青”色，所以我们又怎能判断哪一个色度是唯一的正确的色度呢？显然，在没有得到法律的依据或官方的建议前，我们只能知足于一个相对“正确”的色度。尽其量地采纳各位编辑的看法，取一个包容岐见的代表性色度来描绘旗帜上的“青”色。所以我们要发动讨论来达成共识。目的不在于色度的正确与否（似乎根本没有一个绝对正确的色度），而在于共享资源上编辑的共识。这并不会成为什么所有中国人的笑柄，反之外交部和总统府二网站的国旗图片岂不也要当作笑话看待了吗？你提供了中国国民党官方网站导航栏上方大标题中使用的党徽截图，作为旗帜中当使用天蓝色度的根据，这个我不认同。因为一来，一个网站的大标题中的徽章、图像的装饰性质相对要强，时常为了与网页背景匹配、为了追求立体感、为了能够更好地突出网站的专业性质等原因，而放弃了图片的准确度，最后设计出的图片通过多种手段的加工，虽然美观，但我认为不能作为这个标志的权威。再者，我在同一个网站上觅到了一个“党旗与党歌”的专题页，页底有个青天白日党徽，但色度与大标题中的天蓝要深，且象征着白日光束的12枚等腰三角明显有误，（图形可是有法律依据的，即光束与日盘间为一圈青）。先写到这吧，想再听听你的意见。顺便代提一下，共享资源使用多语言环境，由编辑们各自自由设置面本语言，英语的使用虽占有压倒性的多数，但编辑们完全可以使用其他语言来进行交流。所以你回复时或用中文或用英文，随心所愿。最后祝往后交流愉快！--Shibo77 04:21, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 何謂青天白日

Quote:颜色为青、白、红三色这是毫无争论的，因为这有法律证据在先。Unquoted>. 你錯了.

in 林語堂:青天 [qing1tian1], n., (1) the clear, blue sky: 青天白日 in broad daylight; (2) as symbol of justice: 重見青天 regain freedom, freed from prison; formerly, address to judge: 青天大人. 青天白日, in the true sense of the word, was referring to the dark and oppressive rule of the Manchus; Dr.Sun Yet Sen, a revolutioary and one of the original designers of the flag, was fighting for freedom, the freedom of fresh sky and clear sun.

青在青天白日一词中,不可解釋為顏色,好像採青,踏青,青天,青丝,如果都理解為颜色,那就大錯特錯. Arilang ^talk 19:20, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

[edit] File talk:Flag of the Republic of China.svg

Hello Arilang,
I am truly sorry for not responding that long, but I have been quite offline in the previous week. I have now read the discussion between you and Shibo77 (talk · contributions). It is weird that Zscout370 (talk · contributions) has not replied to your comments for such a long time, maybe he's not interested in the matter anymore. Regarding the colour of the flag: I have now edited File:Emblem of the Kuomintang.svg to perfectly match the colour at kmt.org.tw. Is this colour a version that suits you? If so, we could use it for all other images related to the flag of the Republic of China; if not, the matter would need to be discussed once again. odder 10:57, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks admin odder for your fair comment regarding File talk:Flag of the Republic of China.svg, now at least I know for sure that wikicommons is not on a collision course with KMT.org.tw over the color of their party emblem, and please, use your power, or whatever, make this color matching sort of permanent, to stop any future changes of color, unless the KMT.org.tw do it first, which I doubt it would ever happen.

Once we have solve the official, and final, color of File:Emblem of the Kuomintang.svg We now come to all the files that contain original Blue Sky White Sun Emblem (青天白日), which was designed in 1893. If we care to read the en:Republic of China history, and an wikipedia article created by me en:Dang Guo, we would know that en:Kuomintang was formed before en:Republic of China, that means File:Flag of the Republic of China.svg was created using the image of File:Emblem of the Kuomintang.svg, that can only means all the files that contain original Blue Sky White Sun Emblem (青天白日) MUST use the same matching color.

However, in real life, things may not be that simple, and since en:Flags of the World is kind of world authority on the color of flags, may be it pays to have a look at their information? http://flagspot.net/flags/tw.html Arilang ^talk 16:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I do not really trust the colours used by FOTW, they seem to be too symbolic; additionally, the colours and their genesis are not described at all. I have now changed all the files you have previously linked to use the colour from kmt.org.tw. The said files have been today protected by O (talk · contributions) and only Commons administrators are allowed to edit the files (and change their descriptions). The shade of blue I have used will stay for a while until any other admin decides to change it (I hope that won't happen, at least not in the nearest future); non-admins will need to start a discussion on the colours and gain a consensus. So this is a pretty permanent solution of the problem. odder 19:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

@admin odder, words just cannot express the gratitude I am feeling now that the problem of color is over, at least for the foreseeable future. Regardless of all the maltreatments this ROC national flag is enduring in the real world, at least we now can say for sure, this Blue Sky White Sun (青天白日), once a mighty proud flag for millions and millions of Chinese, has got a permanent home in the cyber world, here in wikicommons. Many thanks to you again, admin odder. Arilang ^talk 21:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violations

Hello Arilang1234,

You have uploaded several files that are copyright violations and you have done so despite our requests not to do so, and despite our instructions. If you do not stop uploading pictures that are not free, your account will be blocked. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Image casebook useful. Please leave me a message if you have further questions.

Martin H. (talk) 21:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Give the correct and original source as source and not your OWN Flickr account. The images are unsourced at the moment, noone asks for a user who had added this images to Flickr to wash them to Commons but for the original source of publication! --Martin H. (talk) 21:53, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

No, {{PD-China}} clearly gives a instruction: Provide a source where the image was first published and who created it. That not justifies a sourcing to a Flickr account that is in no way related to the original source or any archival collection. --Martin H. (talk) 22:06, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

@Martin, nearly all of the upload were 1940s, or 1930, it is quite impossible to find out the original creators, or when was it first published . Are they any alternatives, so that these images can be kept by commons? Arilang Arilang ^talk 22:15, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

An image is public domain 50 years after it was first published. Without knowing that it was published 50 years ago in China you cant say it is {{PD-China}}. The license template is obvious on this. --Martin H. (talk) 22:24, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

@Martin, like I have stated before, nearly all of the uploads were from 1940s, or 1930s, which is very obvious that they are more than 50 years old, because we are now at 2009. May be I do not know what was the exact date of the files being published, but I know for sure that these images were taken during the second world war, which is more than 50 years ago. It is commonsense, isn't it? Arilang Arilang ^talk 22:33, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

An image is public domain if it was published 50 years ago in China, not taken 50 years ago in China. Thats a difference. --Martin H. (talk) 22:49, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

If the date of publication is unknown, an image may have nevertheless entered the public domain, like never published within 50 years since creation in China. China does not have perpetual copyright for unpublished works, so I have amended Template:PD-China to reflect this. However, when in doubt, leave it out. Please do not upload too many questionable files and then ask me to step in to help you, which is inefficient.--Jusjih (talk) 03:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] LIFE images

Hi Arilang, you last comment at DR and your start of upload TIME LIFE images without knowing the exact copyright status looks incomprehensible to me. As the uploader you must assure that the image fulfills our licensing policy. I ask you not to upload something you can't definitively say if it is correct or not. You are uploading photographs from the british photographer w:en:George Rodger who died 1995, his works maybe - I only assume - can enjoy copyright untill 2066, see COM:L#United Kingdom. --Martin H. (talk) 21:51, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Martin H, all these images I uploaded are put on the internet by Carl W. Weidenburner, and if he can put these images on internet, then he most probably have the permission to do so. I shall send e-mail to him and ask for permission for commons. Like I stated before, commons admin should e-mail Time/Life to clearify matters. Arilang1234 Arilang ^talk 22:37, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

if he can put these images on internet, then he most probably have the permission to do so - maybe, but thats not of interest. Permission must come from the copyright holder to everyone to use the image for every purpose including commercial use. Not permission must go to one person to use the images for a website. A reuser cant give permission to a free licensing. --Martin H. (talk) 22:50, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

In this case the only option left is for commons admin to contact Time/Life directly, remember Time/Life has millions of images in stock, wiki commons would be very much improved if we can freely use these images. Like I had stated before, if Facebook, Twitter can use them, why not commons? Arilang Arilang ^talk 23:53, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree, every cooperation with any image source is an improvement. It is not that Twitter or Facebook or someone else can reuse images even with permission. The copyright holder must voluntarily irrevocably give permission to everyone (not only Wikipedia or Commons) to reuse his property for every purpose including modification and commercial use for no fee. That Wikipedia is an educational, non-profit project is totaly irrelevant, permission must go to everyone. --Martin H. (talk) 00:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC) p.s.: The effort to contact them is not an admin job, admins are also only users without any "offical" rights. Every user can contact them in his own name, as permission must go to everyone Wikipedia is not the important part. Sometimes Wikimedia or its chapter support users in their efforts. --Martin H.

[edit] Chinese pictures

Hi,

I think the first thing to do should be to send an email to the website and ensure if those photos are still copyrighted or not. They were taken in China, but from what I could see, the author was Agnes Smedley, so it might be possible that there is still some kind of copyright. Best, JJ Georges (talk) 09:14, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sino-American Special Technical Cooperative Organization

Hi Arilang1234, with regards to the Sino-American Special Technical Cooperative Organization page and pages here in general although they are called articles, pages here really should be more about the pictures then the text. Sometimes when there is no suitable articles elsewhere, or if the number of pictures justifies it, a greater number of words may be justified, however since there is already both a Chinese and English article on the topic with multiple interwikis to those articles, there really is no point in repeating material which can be found, and is better suited to being elsewhere.

On another matter, I'm sorry but I can't help but notice that you have a great many deleted images, it may be worth you reading Commons:許可協議 to see what can and cannot be hosted here.KTo288 (talk) 14:18, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your advice, KTo288. I would be more cautious when uploading.Arilang Arilang ^talk 22:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hi

If they are anonymous works they should be ok. How can we be sure they are anonymous ? Sv1xv (talk) 20:14, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, user Sv1xv. These propaganda posters were done by a group of artists, definitely not done by a single person. Would that qualify as anonymous? I like to ask you a few more questions:

Is there any time limit on the publication date? I mean, if posters published in 1940s, 1950s, are OK, what about 1960s(Cultural Revolution era), 1970s, or 1980s?
- According to the documentation of {{PD-China}}, 50 years from creation = 1959 for anonymous works. Sv1xv (talk) 03:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
North Korea had produced a fair numbers of anti-US posters, though I can't read Korean, but from the content I can tell they were made in the 1950s. Korean war posters Would these OK to upload? Arilang Arilang ^talk 02:30, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I am not familiar with the copyright law of North Korea. Sv1xv (talk) 03:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
