user cats

Hi Godot13, I've added {{user category|Godot13}} to your own categories, as they are so-called user categories, which are considered as service categories and should not be mixed with the "regular" categories. As user categories are "hidden" per default, you might change your account setting (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering) to also show hidden categories. --Túrelio (talk) 21:42, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. I will adhere to this going forward. --Godot13 (talk) 21:51, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically sighted. This will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to help users watching Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones. Thank you.

VIC closure

Hello Godot13,
Thank you for closing VICs! A step is missing however: to complete the closure, the status parameter must be changed. Three possibilities: status=promoted, status=undecided or status=declined, depending on the vote result (more detailed explanation here). Thank you again,
Kind regards, --Myrabella (talk) 00:24, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out, I understand. - Godot13 (talk) 04:05, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

scale rulers in images

Hi Andrew!

1) In the MS Paint you must create a new picture.

2) Set picture options/width in pixels (could be calculated for yours illustration).

3) Use line tool, set line width and draw a line. Also, as a other way, you can use "draw a bar" tool.

4) Add a vertical edges for ruler with "pencil" tool and 400% scale view.

5) Open yours photo in Adobe Photoshop.

6) Select and copy picture in MS Paint.

7) Paste this in Photoshop document as new layer.

8) In layer with ruler use "magic Wang" tool, select and clear background.

9) Add a scale text for the ruler.

10) Done. Save result as .jpg

Hi Godot13!

Thank you for your remark on COM:QIC regarding the double listing of that hydroelectrical power station image. This is of course a mistake of me. I simply removed it. Best regards, High Contrast (talk) 10:37, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Valued image candidates/African Bush Elephants eating tree bark

Hello Godot13,

added a "pro" to your set. Nice set of images. Unfortunately the frame did not change the color to green, may be I made a "beginner" mistake?

--[[Arcalino (talk) 20:32, 14 February 2013 (UTC)]]

I got it, had to change to "supported", typical "beginner" mistake :-) [[Arcalino (talk) 20:42, 14 February 2013 (UTC)]]

Re:File:Statue of a Griffin, Parliament building (Vienna).jpg

Hi, Godot13, I'm not expert but with ligthroom is easy. I uploaded new version without CA. I would like your opinion ?

--Rjcastillo (talk) 15:24, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Excellent. much easier although have limitation.....Sorry, you know how I correct lens flare in image (photpshop C6) ?. --Rjcastillo (talk) 02:50, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I use CS5: Open the Photoshop Bridge (Br), find the image, right-click and "Open in Camera Raw" I use the spot removal tool (top menu bar) and carefully take out the flare. It works best if the flare is against a solid color or the sky. Otherwise, I'm sorry, I don't know other methods. - Godot13 (talk) 02:55, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Godot13, old version is better imho. remove a bit the bright light (See note) --Rjcastillo (talk) 14:06, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Agreed, reverted. - Godot13 (talk) 21:01, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

VI Set

hi Godot13.

There is no "lesson" at all !

It is for me a very good occasion to thank you for the great work you do in the VI project ! --Jebulon (talk) 22:41, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, therefore I hereby award you:

		The Valued Image Barnstar
		For your activity in the VI project, many own VIs and especially for the hard work of closing VISCs. Ikar.us (talk) 16:25, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

VISC Rio-Andirio Bridge construction

Hello again Godot13,

you promoted the set: Rio-Andirio Bridge construction, thank you for that. Unfortunately the set is still open for review and not closed. What happened?

--Arcalino (talk) 11:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• I do not know. I posted a notice on the VI discussion page asking for help. The set is promoted, but the preview page doesn't want tot go away... --Godot13 (talk) 20:41, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• In the next day or so, I will undo the promotion, and redo it again. This is the only one that has given me a problem...-06:08, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Lenin Mausoleum among other beauties

Hello Godot13,

thanks for remind me, I completed the review of your pending QI pic. You seem to have a lot of pics in your computer to upload, with two decades of photography and just two months in commons :) It's always very interesting to add some images taken a few years ago, especially with a good quality. Congrats for your work and also for your nice picture of the day! --Selbymay (talk) 10:41, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

• Thanks!--Godot13 (talk) 00:22, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Your S.A. schoolboy in VI

Dear Godot13, I'm really sorry.

Please, be sure there is nothing personal in my opposition vote.

I think actually that this picture is not typical enough. Again, it could have been taken out of a school in Paris, or anywhere else.

This boy is very cute, and I love his smile, but in my opinion, he does not "fit" with the scope.

I hope you will not be angry against me, I just try to be fair in the expression of my opinion.

Thanks (I find your banknotes very interesting, joined together they could make a very nice poster).--Jebulon (talk) 16:12, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

I don't take any of this personally. But I will keep trying to figure out what does fit this scope ;-) --Godot13 (talk) 16:20, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Godot13, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please do not tag redirects as {{speedy}}. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Cleaning out of VISC

Hello Godot13, Sorry for my belated reply. You asked me a question about how to clear out promoted VISC, I see that you have found the answer :) Thank you very much for carrying out this task. --Myrabella (talk) 18:07, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

VIC talk page

Hi Godot!

I have started two discussion topics at Commons talk:Valued image candidates/candidate list. But it seems that this page is visited less frequently. Hence thought of notifying you as you are a regular editor at VIC. Please put your views, if any, on these topics. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 09:45, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Valued images/Recently promoted -> human eye and hand needed :)

Hello Godot 13, Would you be kind enough to help with Commons:Valued images/Recently promoted? VIbot adds the processed promoted images on that page for further human categorization into topics. That will feed Commons:Valued images by topic. With kind regards, --Myrabella (talk) 17:12, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Your name

Hi A. Shiva:

Your name looks like to have some Indian/Asian roots. Just curious because I'm from Kerala, India. JKadavoor Jee 14:15, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

My last name is actually a Hebrew derivation of a Russian family name... No Indian roots, but I am looking forward someday to traveling to India ;-) --Godot13 (talk) 18:09, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Wow! That is cool. And, you're welcome to India! JKadavoor Jee 04:39, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

VI to reconsider

• ----

Scope changed from Porcellio scaber (Adult unknow sex) to Porcellio scaber --Yug (talk) 21:47, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

• Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".

Extra space

Hi Godot13,

you're welcome, the Jaffa clock tower seemed to be a tought subject and your picture is pretty good otherwise, so I tried to give more space with Photoshop. It's not that difficult, I just extend the canvas and apply some cloning tool to give a bonus sky.
