Good morning, Epic Genius[edit]

Hey there. Sorry for coming back late, as I've been busy in life nowadays. Just wanted to inform you that I plan on asking for a standard offer sometime next month or so. Also, I need to ask if you can please tell Kew Gardens aka Union Tpke to come here so that he and I can contact one another. Or you can please tell him to contact me at "Your MTA Wiki". I'm known as RollOver at both NYCT Forums and Your MTA Wiki. I really got to inform Kew Gardens aka Union Tpke about some member on NYCTF that repeatedly keeps downvoting his and my posts for literally no reason, so I wonder if he can send that person a private message and telling that person to knock it off. Thanks. JoesphBarbaro (talk) 11:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@JoesphBarbaro: Sure, no problem. It's good to hear from you again. epicgenius (talk) 15:00, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buses of MTA Regional Bus Operations[edit]

Did you just move ~1000 images as a result of a cosmetic category change without prior discussion? Seriously? Also, as if that wasn't enough, you moved the category from a Commons standard-compliant version (Buses of […]) to a somewhat strange style choice of yours. Sigh. What was it that you intended to clarify anyway? That the buses may no longer be owned or operated by MTA Regional Bus Operations? That's fairly obvious and applies to all of the thousands of Buses of […] categories on Commons. FDMS 4 21:33, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FDMS4: I apologize if I moved to the wrong title. But the corresponding Wikipedia page is at MTA Regional Bus Operations bus fleet with the redirect under Buses of MTA Regional Bus Operations. So naturally I synchronized the Commons category. It has nothing to do with ownership, but now that I think about it, that can be a problem since this covers the buses of MTA Bus as well as of MTA New York City Bus. So yes, I am serious about this, and I intend to move it back later. epicgenius (talk) 21:46, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks – as far as I know there's a fundamental difference in category naming on Commons and Wikipedia with regards to of vs. appending (Category:People of the United States – w:Category:American people). Happy to hear category restructuring ideas. FDMS 4 22:05, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FDMS4: Sure, I think what we can do is create redirects to the category from the Wikipedia title (e.g. Category:American people should redirect to Category:People of the United States) so w:Template:Commonscat on any Wikipedia does not redirect to a redlink category. Just a suggestion, though. epicgenius (talk) 21:42, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thankfully, the (English) Wikipedia Commonscat template now uses Wikidata to determine where to link to when no Commons category name is set. I'm generally fine with such redirects as well, as long as Commons doesn't have to curate (in this case) 120 of them … FDMS 4 22:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FDMS4: OK, so I guess there is no problem with the commons categories then. Thank you for your help, anyway. epicgenius (talk) 00:30, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

48th Street Bridge Reconstruction[edit]

I created Category:48th Street Bridge Reconstruction (Sunnyside, Queens) back in April 2016. You do know you could've sent many of the recent pictures you uploaded there, right? ----DanTD (talk) 22:17, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@DanTD: Sorry, I didn't know the category existed. My mistake. epicgenius (talk) 22:20, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Metrorail stations[edit]

For quite some time now I wanted to ask you why you've moved most Metrorail station categories from names like Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre metro station to Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre (Metrorail station). The latter appears to be common only for some US train stations, while appending the type to the name is AFAIK considered a Commons-wide general standard (at least for Europe). Ethymologically, putting the type in disambiguation brackets IMO doesn't make a lot of sense since for example there is only one subject called Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre, meaning that the (Metrorail station) disambig should strictly speaking be removed, thereby rendering the category title almost meaningless. Again, I would have appreciated being given the opportunity to discuss this beforehand. FDMS 4 18:27, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@FDMS4: I think you should see Project:USSTATION and the contentiousness over it. It involves suffixes of US rail stations' articles. Some want to simplify to "XXX Station" or "XXX station", while others want it kept as "XXX (YY system station)". I disagree with this Project:USSTATION somewhat, but it's apparently what enwiki community wants. As for Commons, I thought the commonscats should be similar to the enwiki and other wikis' article titles, to make it less confusing. (I just noticed now that the Metrorail stations' articles were moved some time ago, though.) epicgenius (talk) 18:32, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, see my comment from 2016-05-31 22:05. Any objections to moving them back to the names with the metro station suffix? Personally, I don't find station alone to be descriptive enough (what if there is a filling station at the same location?). FDMS 4 18:38, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. Is there any notable filling station with that name on Commons? We can get to further disambiguation among metros, locations, etc. if "station" proves to be ambiguous and there are two or more "stations" of any type with the same name at the same location. If the Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre metro station is the only station that has a Commons category, it can be called "Category:Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station". epicgenius (talk) 18:44, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, a common scenario is suburban/regional/intercity rail or bus stations using the same name. Also, as I'm only realising now, solely using station would probably conflict with Commons' longstanding practice of using the terms train station and for GBR railway station (or sometimes unfortunately a local-language equivalent thereof). FDMS 4 19:35, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that common for metro stations to all share the same name as bus stations, though, unless they run parallel. But if it's Commons practice, then "metro station" is fine. epicgenius (talk) 19:42, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2016-10[edit]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The Collaboration team is delighted to publish its first newsletter! Your feedback is welcome.

This quarter the team will focus on improving Special:RecentChanges and create a ReviewStream, a new feed designed to improve the edit-review process. Both are part of the new Edit Review Improvements project.

Notifications [ More information · Help pages ]

Recent changes

Documentation concerning Notifications types has been updated. That page is ready for translations. [1]
For developers, how to create a new Notification type has been updated. [2]
Tools owners will be notified when OAuth app changes state. [3]
When you edit text and mention a new username they are notified if you add your signature. Before this only happened under certain conditions. [4]
Users are notified if they are mentioned in a section where you add your own signature even if you edit more than one section. Before, users were not notified if you edited more than one section in one edit. [5]
Sometimes when you mention another user they don't get a notification. Now you can get a notification when you successfully send out a mention to someone or be told if they did not get a notification. This is an opt-in option in your preferences. [6][7]
On Notifications, the badge is colored if you have some notifications. If you see these notifications, the badge will turn grey on all wikis instead of just the local one. [8]

Problems

For some users, cross-wiki notifications haven't been working properly. The count has been wrong when only cross-wiki notifications were present. The cross-wiki bundle has been showing only the names of wikis and not the actual notifications. It has been fixed. [9][10]
When a title was created with some wikitext inside of it, Notifications were not linking that title when they were mentioned. This is now fixed. [11]
Some Notifications messages were not supporting {{GENDER:}}. This is now fixed. [12]

Future changes

On Special:Notifications, pages and counts related to disabled notification types will not be shown anymore. [13]

Flow [ More information · Help pages ]

Recent changes

Flow is available as a Beta feature on Greek Wikipedia. [14]
A satisfaction survey was conducted concerning Flow in September 2016. Results will be published in December 2016. [15]
Wikitext interface for Flow is now using a monospaced font. [16]
It is now possible to moderate a Flow topic that have been resolved without re-opening it. [17]
It is now possible to watch and unwatch topics directly from the Notification panel. [18]

Problems

It is not possible to enable or disable Flow as a Beta feature on wikis where that option is available. This is under investigation. [19]
Some Flow messages were not supporting {{GENDER:}}. This is now fixed. [20]

Future changes

Communities that have Flow enabled manually on user talk pages will be asked to move on to a Beta feature activation to simplify the process. [21]
Notifications related to Flow will be grouped on your Notifications preferences. It will be easier to choose which Notifications you want to have from Flow. [22]

Edit Review Improvements [ More information ]

Recent changes

Informations about Edit Review Improvements project have been published. That page is ready for translations. [23]
ReviewStream feed product description is available. ReviewStream is a machine-readable feed that’s designed to be used by a variety of edit-review tools.

Future changes

Some improvements will be done to Special:RecentChanges, by adding new filters based on ORES.
- Some tests are done with users to refine the design of those filters. You can volunteer for such tests. [24]
- Communities that already have ORES goodfaith and damaging filters enabled will be contacted to try that change as a Beta feature. [25]

Miscellaneous

On that newsletter, some particular items are highlighted by an icon, to ease reading. The icon highlights items that may interest volunteer translators and the icon highlights items that are relevant for readers with technical knowledge.

Collaboration products newsletter: 2016-11[edit]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

Our quarterly goal is to add filters to the Recent Changes page, that show ORES good-faith and damaging tests and filters around new users. The work on this is proceeding mostly as planned. We hope it shall be available as a Beta feature (only on wikis where ORES is available as a Beta feature) before the end of the quarter.

Edit Review Improvements [More information]

Recent changes

The filters design prototype for Special:RecentChanges is now stable. Development of these filters will now start. [26][27]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Notifications concerning Flow are no longer all grouped together in your preferences. The "Edits to my user talk page" category will now include Flow notifications about your user talk page (if your user talk page uses Flow), and the "Mentions" category will now include mentions on Flow pages. Previously, all notifications related to Flow were grouped together in the "Structured Discussion" category. [28]
The orange bar will now also be displayed when a message is posted on a your user talk page if your talk page uses Flow; previously, it was only displayed if you had a wikitext talk page. [29]

Collaboration products newsletter: 2016-12[edit]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Notifications, Flow and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

A decision has been made about how the Recent Changes filtering scheme will affect current ORES beta feature users. When this new filtering system rolls out as part of the beta, it will replace the current ORES display on the Recent Changes page. That means the automatic color coding, the red “r” symbol and the “hide probably good edits” filter will go away, to be replaced by the new, more nuanced set of filters and user-defined color coding. All other pages that have ORES features, like Watchlist and Related Changes, will remain as they are now for ORES beta users. We think those pages could also benefit from the new filtering system. But we'll wait to see how users react to the beta test—and make any necessary changes—before we start spreading the new UI around. That's the plan as it currently stands. As always, please let us know if you have any thoughts, in any language.

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

The Filters for Special:RecentChanges description page is now finished and ready for translation.
On wikis that use ORES, new colors have been chosen for damaging changes displayed on a list of changes. [30]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Problems

Sometimes, after marking an important number of cross-wiki notifications as read, the counter remained at 1. This is now fixed. [31]

Flow [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Due to a bug, it was not possible to activate Flow on user talk pages as a Beta feature. This is possible again for wikis that have that feature. [32]
Flow boards can be moved without constraints. However, this requires the move-Flow-board right. [33]

Miscellaneous

The MoodBar extension has been removed from all wikis. [34]

Category:207th Street (IND Eighth Avenue line)[edit]

Please cite a reliable source (i.e. from the MTA) for "Inwood" being an official part of this station's name. If you cannot do so, please do not move the cat again. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:43, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. Look at the official subway map. Please do not move the cat like you just did with your botched cut and paste move, which I'll be reverting. epicgenius (talk) 19:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please refer to the official list of subway stations. There is an entry for "Inwood - 207 St" on the "IND,8th Av - Fulton St" line since "Inwood" is part of the MTA's official name for the station. epicgenius (talk) 19:36, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, it wasn;t a "botched cut-and-paste move" it was a standard move using cat-a-lot. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:55, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Sorry for the confusion. The categories were just cut and pasted, so that's what I meant. epicgenius (talk) 12:08, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category Removing[edit]

I don't understand why I can't remove a category from an image if their are numerous other categories for the same image. The Buses of MTA Regional Operations has alot of images that don't belong. I thought that any user could remove categories as long as there was at least one category for each picture. I don't know why the removal of one or two categories was undid despite the clutter in the category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olsen24 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SVGs[edit]

Hi, I noticed in some of your BSicon uploads there are groups with no attributes, title elements like <title>Layer 1</title>, and IDs like id="svg_2". If you're using Inkscape or similar to draw the files, you should just remove those from the source code before you upload the files. Thanks, Jc86035 (talk) 09:13, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jc86035: Thank you for the note. I will include these elements for all my subsequent SVG uploads. Is there a specific reason why <title>"Layer 1"</title>, id="svg_2", etc. are discouraged? epicgenius 15:18, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly because they don't mean anything. There's no specific technical need to make BSicons as compact as reasonably possible, but it helps with editing their code. (I usually also re-order all the attributes to a semi-standard order; convert Windows line breaks (CR+LF) to Unix line breaks (LF); and remove spaces before />, though this isn't strictly necessary and no one ever asked me to do it.) Jc86035 (talk) 15:25, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jc86035: I see. So should I just remove these elements, then? epicgenius 15:27, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, just remove things that doesn't have a practical purpose (though useful/"correct" things like the UTF-8 declaration, indentation, and the main <title> should be kept, I think). Jc86035 (talk) 15:43, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. epicgenius 15:45, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Collaboration products newsletter: 2018-03[edit]

Latest news from the Wikimedia Collaboration team, about Map improvements 2018, Notifications, Structured discussions and Edit Review Improvements. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you.

What's new?

The Collaboration team has announced the start of a new project: In-Context Help and Onboarding. The idea is to improve retention of new wiki editors by giving them short tutorials and other training experiences related to, and triggered by, their current activities on the wikis (that’s the “in context” part). The project follows from the conclusions of the New Editor Experiences research. The work is in its very early stages, but we’d like to hear from people with ideas on the subject—particularly if you have experience supporting or training new contributors.

Map improvements 2018 [More information]

Maps using Maplink and Mapframe functions now include an extra zoom level (level 19). This is part of the Kartographer Improvements, the number one request of the 2017 Community Wishlist survey. [52]

Edit Review Improvements [More information • Help pages]

Number of edit to show in recent changes information text was incorrect in Special:Preferences. It has been rephrased. [53]

Notifications [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. That new feature has been documented. [54]
Preferences panel on Special:Notifications was overlapping other elements. This has been fixed. [55]

Future changes

An important work is under progress to allow thanks of log entry. This is done by the Community Tech team. [56]

Structured discussions [More information • Help pages]

Recent changes

Structured Discussions extension has been uninstalled from wikis not using it. However, it is still possible for a community to request a trial of Structured discussions. [57]

Problems

It was not possible to opt-in and opt-out Structured discussions on wikis using it as a Beta feature. It is now fixed. [58]

Future changes

The visual editor and 2017 wikitext editor interface is going to change for consistency. The toolbar, dialogs and menus will appear slightly bigger; some icons will look different. Content or functionality will not change. That change will apply to Structured Discussions as well. [59]

Latest message for Collaboration team newsletter; Growth team's newsletter invite[edit]

Hello

Sorry to use English if that's not your favorite language.

You are receiving this message because you were reading the Collaboration team newsletter.

The Collaboration team doesn't longer exists. That team was working on building features that encourage collaboration. This is the latest message for that newsletter.

The Growth Team, formed in July 2018, supports some former Collaboration projects. The Growth Team's main objective is to ease new editors' first steps on wikis, through software changes. You can discover all objectives and missions of the Growth team on its page.

If you wish to be informed about Growth team's updates about easing new users first steps, you can subscribe to the new list to get updates. The first message from Growth –with a call for feedback on a new project– will be posted in a few days!

If you have questions or you want to share experiences made on your wiki about new users' first steps, please post them on the team talk page, in any language.

On behalf of the Growth team, Trizek (WMF) (talk) 10:29, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MTA Regional Bus Routes by borough[edit]

Was there any discussion on splitting off the Category:MTA Regional Bus routes category by borough? Because I'm really glad you did this. My only question is, why are you removing additional borough categories for buses that run through two of them? ----DanTD (talk) 13:25, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DanTD: There wasn't really a formal discussion. I just decided to split off the routes by borough because the parent category was too long to navigate. Thanks, by the way.

As for removing additional borough categories, I wasn't sure if the routes should only be categorized based on its prefix, like on Wikipedia. For instance, the M60 route has a significant portion in Queens, but has an M-prefix and is only listed on the List of bus routes in Manhattan article. epicgenius (talk) 13:28, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, but at the same time, the Bx7 only has a single image, and it's in Marble Hill. That really should be filled up with some Bronx images, but either way it makes more sense to me that the M60 should have the additional Queens category, even though it's only added on the List of bus routes in Manhattan article. ----DanTD (talk) 13:36, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DanTD: Sounds good to me. I was more concerned about the number of routes that run through Brooklyn and Queens, which is really high. epicgenius (talk) 13:38, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Queens especially. Yikes! I don't want to defeat the purpose of the split, but I'd still like to make sure the categories reflect the true nature of the way things are. ----DanTD (talk) 13:55, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DanTD: OK. I guess you can add the other categories if you'd like, but I'm not sure about categories like Category:Q58 (New York City bus), which runs for less than 200 feet in Brooklyn. epicgenius (talk) 23:29, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

grange image[edit]

Re: the picture of the Brooklyn Grange you just reverted, it was actually nominated for deletion once before for the same reason. See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Brooklyn Grange Rooftop at Brooklyn Navy Yard 2.jpg. Didn't notice a new [self-defeating] image had been uploaded to circumvent that. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 20:43, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: Yeah. I actually just saw it today while uploading my images of the Brooklyn Navy Yard (I'm Ryan Ng on Flickr). At first I thought it should be deleted if the management wanted it to be deleted, but then I saw the deletion discussion had been closed as keep, and then this "Location owner requested removal" image had been uploaded in its place. Worse, it was actually displayed on the Brooklyn Grange article on Wikipedia for six months, so when I saw it on Wikipedia at first, I thought there was something wrong with the internet. epicgenius (talk) 20:48, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gah. I tend to be sympathetic when an article subject requests removing an image. In this case, it had been a while and there was at least one instance of it being used based on the free license. Also, it's OHNY! The default is that photography is allowed except when stated explicitly in the guide. The Grange even participated again in 2018 with no such caveat.

Out of curiosity, why do you upload to Flickr first, then transfer? I suppose it's just easier that way with Flickr2Commons? — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: For the removal, that was I was thinking too. Since the image was already being used and the request was several months after the upload, the image doesn't qualify for any speedy deletion, and any removal request would be very hard unless the image actually poses harm.

And in regards to Flickr, the Wikimedia Commons uploader has a limit of 50 files at a time. With Flickr, I can mass-upload using Flickr2Commons. epicgenius (talk) 21:11, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stationary Figures[edit]

Heya,

I was happy but surprised to see Category:Stationary Figures. I don't know the background for these -- has the artist released them into a public domain/with a free license?

(Haven't been back to Industry City lately, but still plan to take a few pics next time I'm there). — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: I'm not sure. I think it's not copyrighted if the artwork is surrounded by the context of something else, e.g. File:23 St-6 Av after ESI Dec 2018 29.jpg. There are three files that I'm not sure about.

Regarding Industry City: it's fine. There's no rush for the images. epicgenius (talk) 01:12, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For context, I was looking through some local users' contributions, putting together a slideshow of NYC photography by Commons users for Wikiday. I did notice there are several examples of public art caught up in your uploads. Someone with the time and inclination to be more fastidious will likely nominate some of them for deletion. The idea of something being ok because it's part of a larger, more important scene is de minimis. Basically, if an image would be equally valuable without the copyrighted work, and as long as the copyrighted work isn't prominent within the image. The one you've linked is in the gray area. Something like File:23 St-6 Av after ESI Dec 2018 30.jpg would just be a straightforward copyvio if the depicted image isn't documented as public domain or otherwise freely licensed. Do with this information what you will. :) Unfortunately, the US doesn't have a freedom of panorama that covers public art -- just buildings. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 02:15, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rhododendrites: Yeah, that's what I figured

. That sucks, though that there isn't FOP with artwork. epicgenius (talk) 02:33, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Important message for file movers[edit]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
To perform file name swaps.
When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jamaica Savings Bank in Elmhurst[edit]

I've posted this message on the NRHP list in Queens talk page, but the Roadside Architecture website claims the 1968-built former Jamaica Savings Bank Elmhurst branch was on the National Register of Historic Places. I don't see much evidence of that, but I wouldn't mind grouping the pics you took in a separate category. I notice some of them also have the Chase Bank next door. ----DanTD (talk) 16:36, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DanTD: Thanks for the comment. As you mentioned on the NRHP list in Queens page, this building was an official NYC landmark, but that status was later revoked. I don't know about NRHP status, but it would be really interesting if it is on the NRHP too. But I think at the moment, only the original bank is on the NRHP, if I remember correctly. epicgenius (talk) 16:54, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Old private company bus[edit]

This isn't about any images of buses in Wikimedia Commons, but do you remember which private bus company in NYC had this color scheme? ----DanTD (talk) 00:05, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright undetermined[edit]

Hi Epicgenius, I am wondering if you could help us understand the situation with the copyright on this file: File:Coty - Building Charm Center-New York World's Fair 1939-1940.jpg, uploaded from NYPL : [60], stating this : "The copyright and related rights status of this item has been reviewed by The New York Public Library, but we were unable to make a conclusive determination as to the copyright status of the item. You are free to use this Item in any way that is permitted by the copyright and related rights legislation that applies to your use." Now, on this DPLA site [61] it says 'Copyright Undetermined' (same image) , then on the Library of Congress [62], it indicates that in case of Copyright undetermined, it is up to the public to investigate what the copyright status might be. Any input you could give to help us understand the matter on this deletion page [63]? Thanks, (and sorry to bother);) --DDupard (talk) 16:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DDupard, thanks for the message. It appears that the image was published during the 1939 World's Fair (it says 1935-45, but I highly doubt it was published before 1939). Per COM:US it falls under the rules for media first published during 1926–63. Generally, it would be public domain only if it was published "without [copyright] notice, or with notice but not renewed within 28 years of first publication".

To prove this is copyrighted (or disprove such), you need to find that there was not only a notice, but that the copyright was renewed within 28 years after it was published (i.e. before 1973). If there wasn't any copyright renewal notice, it could be public domain. Similarly, if they waited until 1974 or later to renew, then it could also be public domain. However, the presence of a copyright renewal on or before 1973 can indicate that the image is still copyrighted. Someone would have to research this matter and see if a copyright notice and a renewal was ever published along with this image. I hope this helps. Epicgenius (talk) 16:57, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Epicgenius, it does help. Quite a sleuth job ! ;). Anyhow thanks for the pictures on the Rockefeller Apartments.--DDupard (talk) 17:20, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Read this message in your language

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States 2023[edit]

Hello! In 2021, you contributed to Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States. Thanks to people like you, it was a great success with over 500 people contributing over 5,500 photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the country. Hundreds of these photos now help illustrate Wikipedia articles, improving our open knowledge about United States history, culture, and heritage. You can see the top-ten winners of the US competition here.

While the United States did not participate in Wiki Loves Monuments in 2022, I'm pleased to say that we're back for 2023 through the month of October! I'd like to welcome you to participate once again in the event. Check out our 2023 event page for more information.

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2021, and we hope to see you again in this year's event! If you have any questions, please leave them on the event talk page.

Thanks, ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 09:12, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
