Carillon in Bruges

Hi. Many thanks for your answer. I understand what you mean. Unfortunately the man in yellow with blue hat is... the musician, playing the carillon. Impossible to delete (if I do that, you'll never hear the "March" of "Saul" by GF Handel ;)  ! ) The instrument and the man were carried in a "chariot" by horses, during a religious procession...

Hi

Have been doing a few borobudur cats (in process - if you would like me to explain - can do) I reckon any of the KIT/Tropen red links will probably be cleaned up by a bot - or that is my impression - I am doing Borobudur material by hand as there are so many quirks (Hindu monument, etc etc) - cheers SatuSuro (talk) 01:19, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Please note that Borobudur is not a category to be filled - the sub cats are currently in process - please check that when allocating - cheers SatuSuro (talk) 01:23, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi, was only browsing for spectacular images, and only "by the way" using HotCat, wasn't intending to organise all the KIT images... :). Looks like there is still a lot of work to be done to organize them all... and there are so many DUPCATs. That particular Borobudur image you talk about, I was just moving upwards from a non-Borobudur category, sorry for not looking for the right subcat, and thanks for doing that for me. --Elekhh (talk) 01:35, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Nah dont worry it is all in the right direction , I did my honours thesis many many many moons ago partially about the place  :( - Yeah I am sort of wondering what to suggest about the Boro dupes - I aint touching as yet - I am simply honing in on main sub cats and then - hopefully trying the idea of a range of sub cats again into eras - the main stupa is a brilliant indicator of 1873, 1890, 1910, or 1976 - but hey a long way off yet - have to find the odd images in the oddest of places SatuSuro (talk) 01:55, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, is a great win for Wiki to receive this vast donation. And I am surprized it hasn't been really discovered yet by most editors - very few of these are in use on Wikipedias (mostly English and French, but almost none elsewhere). My strategy at the moment is to scan-through and place the best images I find into relevant Wiki article on the Indonesian, English, French and German Wikipedias (already did quite a few). I hope this will attract the attention of more editors, and their involvement in sorting out the category mess at commons. This means I am not so much focused on doing a thorough job at commons, I merely do what I can, while in search for the best images. Hope we'll see soon more people around to speed up the process. --Elekhh (talk) 23:33, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

I am going very slowly mainly through places that I know from personal experience (dont ever let me start about taman sari though - that would have to be off-wiki comments there) - and will eventually link to en wp - but I could forget about real life when I get onto some lines of images - there are ones that leave me amazed - to see some places and people in the perspective from the photos - wow there are so many clues to things for articles that I had never even dreamt about at wp en SatuSuro (talk) 01:37, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Spain, Emperor Charles V Palace

Hello. You're right with your comments about my photographs of this Palace (QIC). The first with the ceiling is evidently overexposured. For the second with the stormy sky, If the columns are cropped, it's because of...tourists. Nevermind, I like this "three parts" image with this strange curved roof. Neither the ceiling nor the roof were photographed by me for Commons at this time (last summer). A lot of my photos are ancient pictures, not enough descriptive or encyclopedic, in the "Commons" spirit, I know that... But I'm happy to be technically criticized (especially by you, I like your "eye"). Many thanks, and best regards from Paris.--Jebulon (talk) 22:45, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

No worries, hope you take my frank critique lightly. It is always easier to judge an image than to take really good pictures, and in that last regard you're defeating me 28:2 so far :). --Elekhh (talk) 22:53, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Kelud vs Mount Kelud vs Gunung Kelud

I have missed something - but I thought the naming convention was the mount kelut, at least that is what happens at wp en - with the aka in the lead sentence for 'gunung' - same with Merapi and all the rest - however if you know something I dont - please let me know - i am not sure if cfd/renaming is as fractious here as it is on wp en - but I would suggest care with naming new cats - always worth checking against what the others are called - again - maybe we are looking at different examples - please forgive me if i am wrong :) SatuSuro (talk) 10:39, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Upps, I think you're right... sorry. On top of that there is a Category: Kelud I haven't noticed. I should take a break. Can you help moving both to Mount Kelud ? --Elekhh (talk) 10:44, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

gawks I feel that the break thing is under-exercised, I should have more of them - I havent been through the cfd stuff here - I might just put em all in the cat kelud - and then request a speedy of the gunung - I would have left it as a redirect if it was en - but they seem to be low on redirects here - im off for a bit but will do this pm my time - sorry to have been a nuisance - SatuSuro (talk) 10:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Kelud is fine with me. It would match the English Wiki name. --Elekhh (talk) 10:56, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

 Done - the moving into the 'Kelud' name - at least a start SatuSuro (talk) 13:41, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh, many thanks! I actually tought that admins would have some special tool for moving the categories, if I would have known you think of doing it with HotCat should have corrected my errors myself. I placed a redirect to Gunung Kelud since this is the Indonesian name and is likely to be searched for, following instructions at Commons:Rename a category. --Elekhh (talk) 20:57, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Nah considering the Kelut crater was one of the favourites of the dutch engineers thinking they could actually save the issue by the tunnel and the monitoring the crater (hence the buildings in odd places) - I had never actually seen any photos and had read about the subject only - a good personal experience!

review

•  Comment What does the red line mean? Also, I think it needs to be specified as a topographical map: A map showing the cities and towns of Borneo would be worthy of its own valued image status. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:40, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Red lines are country borders between: Inonesia (south), Malaysia (north), and Brunei (tiny). Can you give me an example how would you consider it appropriate this to be explained?
  • There is a locator map version of this File:Borneo Locator Topography.png, which allows it to be shown with whatever labels (cities) like here. Do you think that version would be better candidate for general map of Borneo, or would you still prefer reducing the scope to topographic map? --Elekhh (talk) 01:10, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment 1) agree with Adam Cuerden. If you put some border red lines, you have to explain, and you have to put other human things like cities aso. 2) I'm afraid that the red square in the high left corner doesn't exactly show the reduced map : the western red line seems to be no precise IMO. All of this could easily be corrected --Jebulon (talk) 22:44, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Hmm, I don't see it as unprecise... --Elekhh (talk) 01:10, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
  • There is a locator map version of this File:Borneo Locator Topography.png, which basically allows it to be shown with whatever labels (cities or localities) like here. Do you think that version would be better candidate? --Elekhh (talk) 01:10, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
    • No, because the point of VIC is the scope. This is an excellent topographic map, but it's not a geopolitical map. However, it has random red lines on it without explanation in the description. The locator map is not a geopolitical map either, and, let's face it, this policy of shoving single cities onto a map out of context is actually really stupid, as you can't tell what's near them or have any sort of context. Want to know if city X is near city Y? Good luck if they use locator maps. Well, rant aside - this is a topographic map, and I'd only support it in that scope, which means it ought to be either a pure topographic map, nominated as "Topographical map of Borneo" or have enough of the geopolitical elements to be able to have the full scope of Map of Borneo. As it stands, it's a topographical map with unexplained red lines, and nominated in an overly-broad scope. Adam Cuerden (talk) 18:56, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
      • Please note that it is possible to place as many localities on the locator map as you wish. But I take your other point, and changed the scope accordingly. Now to the red lines: they are obviously important as they depict national borders. Note that Borneo is the only island in the world which is divided between three countries so it is an unique case. I added explanation of borders to the file description, however I don't think labels on the map would be appropriate given that it is used in 34 different language Wikipedias. --Elekhh (talk) 01:04, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

• • • •  Support Now: If they're explained, it's fine. But, well, you can add any number of localities to a locator map, but that doesn't make it replace a map that has all the major cities and so on on it already. We can only go with what's there. =) And, yeah, locator maps do annoy me a lot, because of the number of times that the only information I've wanted was "what's the nearest large city to town X", and it's been literally impossible to find out with some useless locator map that was just shaped like a US state. Not even topographical! Adam Cuerden (talk) 03:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment -- This isn't a topographic map either. Since only the relief is shown the correct designation is hypsometric map or relief map. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Not only the relief is shown, rivers are too. I would have thought that it fits into the definition of Topographic map. --Elekhh (talk) 21:49, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
    • A topographic map is supposed to depict all types of physical features on the surface of the Earth, both natural (relief, rivers, sometimes natural land cover, etc.) and artificial (buildings, roads, railways, etc.), as well as political and administrative information (borders, names, capitals, etc.). Due to their national relevance and general use, topographic series of maps are usually published by governmental agencies. Topo maps are usually designated as 'base maps' or 'general purpose' maps, due to the variety of information they contain. On the contrary, a hypsometric map is called a 'thematic map' since only a theme (or limited number of themes) is depicted. Depicting water lines is common in hypsometric maps due to its close physical connection with relief -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:48, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
      • All right, but the scope is not a description of the image, and has to be reasonably broad. I see a good reason for having a simplified topographic map (i.e. topography+rivers+state borders) for Wikipedia articles, as at standard article size too much information would make it messy. I believe that the wide usage of this map on wikipedia projects, as against more multi-layered ones confirms this rationale. --Elekhh (talk) 23:27, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
        • But this is not a simplified (or generalized, to be accurate) topographic map, Elekhh. It is just a hypsometric map with a border. Very important information is missing like the roads, cities and countries. Sorry for insisting on the point but this is (kind of) my craft . Anyway I'm not going to oppose the nomination for this reason, I am just suggesting the scope to be adjusted -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:44, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
          • Thanks a lot for contributing your expertise! I guess what we talk about is well summarised by this quote from the related Wiki article: However, in the vernacular and day to day world, the representation of relief (contours) is popularly held to define the genre, such that even small-scale maps showing relief are commonly (and erroneously, in the technical sense) called "topographic". While I understand that the correct term would be "hypsometric", I doubt that many would search for it under such a name. I find "Relief map" much more user-friendly and if you agree with that in technical terms, it should be fine with me for the image description. However I am still unsure about the scope, as currently is categorized in "Topographic maps", and therefore it would be maybe strange to nominate a different scope. Wouldn't you agree that relief maps are sort of a subcategory of topographic maps? --Elekhh (talk) 02:27, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
            • I had no idea that such text was sitting there, thanks for showing it to me. No, a relief map is not a subclass of a topographic map because they belong to different types. A topographic map is a 'general reference map' and a relief map is a 'thematic' or 'special purpose map'. I really think we should be accurate in the designations due to the potential educational value of VIs-- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:57, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
              • But isn't that just one possible way of categorizing? Wouldn't be possible to categorize thematic maps which are layers of a topographic map as subcatogies, like in any GIS application? --Elekhh (talk) 00:56, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
• I'm a barbarian, here, but I understand that it is NOT a topographical map, at the end. Then, the scope is NOT good, because we try to make here something encyclopedic, using good, relevant and appropriate technical terms. Why not calling "hypsometric map", if it is an"hypsometric map" ? Well, we are very lucky to have here, for this time, a real and professional expert of this matter, and it is not always the case. It would be a little foolish (respectfully) not following his advices, IMO. And the western line of the little red square left above is still not adjusted --Jebulon (talk) 22:53, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Can't be promoted as long as the scope issue has not been resolved. What's the point in having a specialist's advice when it is not listened to? Lycaon (talk) 08:33, 1 May 2010 (UTC) Scope issues resolved. Lycaon (talk) 05:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

FPC careless reviews

Hi Elekhh,

You may be interested in participating in this_discussion. Cheers, Alvesgaspar (talk) 16:07, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Commons_talk:Featured_picture_candidates#Option_3_.281_active_nomination.29

You voted to support this. I can only presume you haven't thouight this through:

Consider:

• Those that nominate good FPs must wait 10 days to nominate again.
• Those that noiminate bad FPCs need only wait 5 days (Rule of fifth day closure) or even just 1-2 days (FPX).

This means that the spammers will be able to put out more than the good contributors at a rate of as much as 10 to 1 in the worst cases.

Further, it's not unusual for potential FPCs to get finished in batches. A photographer comes back from vacation, or a restorationist finishes several projects in a burst of enthusiasm.

This proposal would force people to work on a timescale lengthy enough to kill all enthusiasm.

It gets worse:

This gives a strong disincentive against nominating work by anyone but yourself. People who go through and select high-quality works by others are usually to be praised, however, this proposal causes them to be punished.

I would ask that you reconsider your vote, and consider options 2 or 5, which are more restrictions than are currently in place, and which may always be built upon or increased later. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:50, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

File:Map of Ethnic Groups in Afghanistan, by district.svg

Hi, I've come across this crazy looking map made with errors which goes against the 4 CIA ethnolinguistic maps. I was wondering if you can delete this now or leave a comment on it. I hate seeing maps made with missing ethnic groups.

This map is not helpful but instead creating huge problems. Someone with political agenda created this map which washes away some ethnic groups and makes another group smaller and this leads to uprisings by some ethnic groups in Afghanistan when their leaders see this online. This is why deadly attacks on western forces in Afghanistan are on the rise because some of those Afghans think that they are being ethnic cleansed by the western armies. If you are a westerner, you are putting your own soldiers at risk.--Officer (talk) 20:17, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Wow

more kassian cephas ones found! thanks - the creation of the category is now truly justified :) - 270+ and growing. thanks for that SatuSuro (talk) 12:57, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeh, I even tought that subcategories for portraits and Borobudur wouldn't be completely wrong. But maybe better just create a gallery for an organised display of the best images. --Elekhh (talk) 23:46, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Nah historiographically - the photos by decade and by photographer is sort of the 'big outline' that I had hoped for when I started (comparing kinsbergen's photos with cephas with later one - you can see the degradation over time) - I had even fantasised about creating a wp en portal for boroburdur - with links to photos of all the parts and so on - but - real life has intervened - maybe next year - it will take months to do properly :( SatuSuro (talk) 12:34, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Russian wartime copyright extension

While I don't really care about these 2024 and 2020 cats, you are not right about Russian wartime copyright extension -- it adds 4 years to 70 years, not to 50 -- see Part IV of the Civil Code, Article 1281 (in Russian, I can't find an English translation, but Google Translate is good enough for this).

Personal attacks ?

Hello. Thanks for your reviews in QI about my pics. You prayed me not to take as personal attacks some comments... OK, but please have a look on a question only two lines below yours... The signer attempts now to ask reviewers for explanations of positive opinions. Please notice that himself gave above (at the moment) more than ten support votes for other submitters without explanation. I still don't understand why, but I'm not naïve... Anyway, I've decided to stop submitting QIC at the moment. Thank you again.--Jebulon (talk) 16:58, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

After weekend

Hellish busy this weekend - will try to answer by the end of the weekend - havent time to check it out - cheers SatuSuro (talk) 10:28, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

OK got my itineraries mixed up - and have been creating havoc with cats on wp en - I reckon the animals are the only ones I would support deleting - I tend to think that current political boundaries and geographic forms are a reasonable parameter for assisting in search methods (viz my creating southeast asian landforms and rivers categories on wp en tonight) - the animals are indeed disturbing in a sense - but the rest I think I could give a reasonable defence of if required - so yes I would support the deletion of the empty animal ones. please email me if you want a very complicated answer for the landforms that cross political boundaries - cheers SatuSuro (talk) 15:30, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes and that too - I am quite bamboozled by the possible circuitous route to unravel asia related templates and categories on wp en - which is why I see the larger categories and templates as cumbersome and quite problematic - but its all in the finer structure of the category trees that might be the solution - i think SatuSuro (talk) 05:32, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Geographic categories

Elekhh, I was following Category:Rivers of Japan and Nagara river as an example. Nagara River running through multiple prefectures (Gifu, Aichi, Mie). I also like what you did on Category:Rivers of Java. Anything goes. Midori (talk) 12:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Category:Place d'Armes (Luxembourg)

Hello Elekhh, strange enough, but there are no valuable images of Place d'Armes (which is in the very centre of my home town) in the rather large collection of pictures in my possession. This is at least partly due to the fact that the main building of the square is hidden by scaffolding since three years. The work there will be finished in a few months only.
If you think that I can help you with your project, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards, --Cayambe (talk) 20:58, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I'll do my best to get valuable shots of the square in the next days and contact you after uploading them. Regards, --Cayambe (talk) 20:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Rotated 0.5° CW. --Elekhh 22:16, 21 November 2010 (UTC) I meant that both sides tilted inward, and so a perspective adjustment was indicated. Sorry this wasn't clear. The tilt on the left side is less obvious (hidden in trees), so this version is okay. --Avenue 13:09, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

My take on this

Hi Elekhh, I'd like to share with you my opinion about your post at FPC discussion page. I do not believe it should have been posted there, and while me on my nomination may I please advise you to learn your subject before claiming that an image is not rare? Warm regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 01:22, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

The issue I raised is of general character, that's why I opened the discussion in a public forum. I am genuinely concerned about negative feedback being perceived as honest and informed critique, and am disappointed when this is misunderstood or misrepresented. You know that I am aware of the rarity of the depicted phenomenon, yet I also have the right to form my view on the overall merits of the image. To be clear: I definitely did not "claim that the image is not rare", and my oppose was not based on such an assumption. Best regards. --Elekhh (talk) 02:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Nomination in FPC

Hi Elekhh.
I have a  Question
I'm not sure about the rules of the "celebration/festival" (very good idea, indeed !)
Please have a look on FPC page.
According to you, may I now (18 dec.) nominate one of my own pictures ? (no more active own nominations, but two active nominations of pictures of other authors ?)
Thank you.--Jebulon (talk) 00:33, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
