Autopatrol given[edit]

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 marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 01:21, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Gretarsson, hab gedacht, da es Rhyolith ist, würde es sich um Tuff handeln. PS: Bist Du auch ein deutscher Island-Freund (Dein Name!)? Reykholt (talk) 12:57, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dir ist aber schon klar, dass Rhyolith ein Lavagestein ist und dass das dazugehörige Tuffgestein explizit Rhyolith-Tuff heißt? Ja, mein Nick ist isländisch, ist aber eher Zufall.

Hallo Gretarsson,
ich habe die Kategorie Buntsandstein aus dem Foto gelöscht weil die Kategorie Teufelstisch (Hinterweidenthal) eine Unterkategorie von Buntsandstein ist.
Meines Wissens sollen Bilder immer der untersten Kategorie zugeordnet werden und nicht gleichzeitig in einer übergeordneten.

Hi Gretarsson, 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 leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. 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 see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Mudcracks[edit]

I agree with the fact mudcrakcs are related to sedimetology, but in an undirect way, no more than theese. I removed that category because i'm actually trying to organize part of the matter eliminating the recursive sub-categories. (Mudcracks->Dried muds->Muds->Types of soil->Soils->Sedimentology; and also Mudcracks->Dried muds->Soil cracks->Soils->Sedimentology).--Ciaurlec (talk) 22:24, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see the problem: Soils are erroneously categorized under Sedimentology because soils are subject of their own science, soil science, which has only slight overlap with sedimentology... --Gretarsson (talk) 23:14, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As you suggest, for the moment "Mudcracks" could stay on category "Sedimentology" as a direct sub; surely the partial overlapping of sedimentology, geomorphology and soil science requires a less linear classifying system and more attention on classifying files. Thanks for your opinion. Good work and see you again. --Ciaurlec (talk) 22:19, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kategorie Middle Ugab Valley[edit]

Danke für das Erstellen der neuen Kategorie: "Middle Ugab Valley" und das Verschieben der dazugehörigen Bilder ! Gruß --Olga Ernst (talk) 13:43, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Olga Ernst: Keine Ursache. Es scheint wirklich so zu sein, dass dem Namibia-Geotouristen die Gegend mit der Fingerklippe als das „Ugab Valley“ verkauft wird, aber ich hatte ja schon ausgeführt, warum das eine sehr unglückliche Namenswahl ist. Nun ist „Middle Ugab Valley“ auch nicht sehr viel glücklicher, verhindert aber hoffentlich, das keine Bilder vom Ugab River dort landen, die an anderen Stellen des tatsächlichen Ugab-Tals aufgenommen wurden, wie dieses hier, das am „Unterlauf“ aufgenommen wurde, ca. 150 km Luftlinie von der Vingerklip entfernt...
Was ich jetzt aber nicht verstehe ist, warum du jetzt deine Bilder von den Organ Pipes in die Kategorie Namib Desert gesteckt hast. Meines Wissens ist die Namib auf die Küstenebene beschränkt und reicht ausschließlich im Bereich der Sand Sea mehr als ein paar Dutzend Kilometer weit ins Landesinnere... --Gretarsson (talk) 18:27, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gretarsson, habe gelesen dass sich die Namib Desert bis ca. 160 km ins Landesinnere erstreckt - deshalb fast überall noch "Namib Desert" dazugetan ! Wenn dies falsch ist nehme ich die Kategorie natürlich wieder raus ! --Olga Ernst (talk) 21:39, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Im Artikel Namib hatte ich diese 160 km gefunden. Stimmt das etwa nicht ? Gruß --Olga Ernst (talk) 08:46, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Naja, da steht „bis 160 Kilometer“, das gilt wohl nicht für den gesamten Küstenstreifen vom Namaqualand bis nach Angola... --Gretarsson (talk) 16:21, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ich entferne deine Bilder daher erstmal wieder aus dieser Kategorie, und auch die übrigen Bilder in dieser Kategorie, die Basaltsäulen zeigen, für die (überdies) sämtliche geographische Angaben fehlen... --Gretarsson (talk) 16:52, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ist in Ordnung so ! Danke für die Mühe ! Gruß und schönes Wochenende --Olga Ernst (talk) 17:08, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

remove CDATA[edit]

In File:Ascendonanus_skull_reconstruction.svg as well as in File:PalZ_logo.svg the files contain useless CDATA-Elements, they should be removed before uploading.

In Template:Cdata/doc you can find some posibilites how to remove CDATA in SVG-files.

If you need any help please ask me.

Hello,
Every taxon category (like Category:Aptychi) must be placed in its parent taxon category (like Category:Cephalopoda).
Category:Ammonoidea fossils is not a taxon category.
For information, Category:Ammonoidea fossils should contains only fossils pictures or Category:XXXX fossils, no taxon categories.
So Category:Aptychi should not be in Category:Ammonoidea fossils (because Category:Aptychi can contain mdeia that are not fossils, like reconstitutions, pdf...)
Regards Liné1 (talk) 17:14, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aptychi is not a ‘normal’ taxon but a form taxon or parataxon of ammonoid fossils, hence it doesn't make much sense to put it in a ‘normal’ taxon category (the correct one of which btw would be Ammonoidea, not Cephalopoda). So Ammonoidea fossils IMHO is quite a good parent category for Aptychi... --Gretarsson (talk) 17:36, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum: ... and ‘subclass Aptychi’ is plain nonsense. Where does this come from?! --Gretarsson (talk) 17:40, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Categories/subcategories[edit]

Hello!

I am helping out @MHNNBL: to upload the fish fossils photographs on here, and to add categories to the images. Unfortunately, neither of us is experienced creating categories as subcategories. For example, I would like to create the category for Planohybodus, a kind of Hybodontidae fossil. So I went to the relevant category, but then was not so sure of the next move. Where do I create the "Planohybodus fossil" category to make sure it becomes a subcategory of "Hybodontidae fossil"? Thanks in advance!--Flor WMCH (talk) 12:31, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The correct order ist to create the category first, and then put it into parent categories: Create Category:Planohybodus fossils by klicking on the redlink (note that category names should – almost – always be plural forms). You will get to the edit mode of that category page. At that point the page will not definitely be created yet. Add the text [[Category:Hybodontidae fossils]] in the edit window. Save the page. The category then will be created an will be a subcategory of the category “Hybodontidae fossils”.
Alternatively you could simply save without adding any text and then add the category to parent categories using HotCat, i.e. the “(++)” sign in the footer of the category page. Hope that helps. --Gretarsson (talk) 12:46, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Geological maps of the Moon[edit]

For comparison: ↑ This ↑ is a geological map of the moon...
...↑ this ↑, however, is not a geological map of the moon, but a map related to one aspect of the moon’s geology, the crustal thickness...

Please, explain to me the issue, then. I'm up for education. (Also, in the future, don't simply blanket revert an edit if it contains elements that aren't at issue.) Huntster (t @ c) 21:04, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have already outlined the issue in the edit comment line, accompanied by a link to w:Geological map. As it becomes obvious from that article, the concept of „geological map“ does not include every map that is somehow related to geology but only a certain type of maps that are related to geology. Geological maps typically depict the surface geology of the mapped area. This is done by subdivision of the surface geology into geologic units. These units can be defined by lithology only (i.e. granite, basalt, sandstone, limestone), by relative age only or by something in between (so-called rock-stratigraphic units). The map in question is a thickness map in which the (calculated/inferred) thickness of the moon’s crust is shown. It is related to the moon’s geology but has in fact nothing to to with a geological map.
Regarding “blanket revert”: Thanks for mentioning. I also do not consider your other edits helpful and/or necessary. Why do you replace the annotation that the given date marks the last update (as it is stated on the NASA page) by “released”? What exactly is the benefit? Why do you replace the annotated/labelled source link by a naked URL? This is, sorry, silly! If the link will break at some point and someone is for some reason interested in the source page no one will know what to search for! The URL is included in the wikitext anyway! --Gretarsson (talk) 14:27, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the more detailed explanation. While I don't necessarily agree in terms of our basic categorisation, I'm not going to press the issue as you've clearly made your argument. As for the other points. The vast majority of top-level nasa.gov webpages include a templated footer, which "Page Last Updated" is part of. If you look on the Photojournal page, however, it is more clearly demarked as when the image was released, rather than simply when the page was last edited. For the URL, I personally find piping links unnecessarily cosmetic and pointless. It accomplishes not very much other than obfuscating at a glance the source of the image. For purposes of identification, I specifically included {{NASA-image|center=JPL|id=PIA17674}}, which is the image's universal identifier. Huntster (t @ c) 20:52, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In don’t agree in that a “piped link” is generally an “obfuscation”. As long as the link text (and accompanied text) do clearly identify the source it is at least equally helpful/telling than a naked URL. And, as I already said, when the link breaks at some point, e.g. because the linked website/webpage moves to a new server with quite different page/file/database structure, a naked URL may become completely useless... --Gretarsson (talk) 10:39, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Warning[edit]

Hallo, bitte entferne nicht die Ortskategorie. Du kannst gerne eine Unter-Kategorie davon anegen und dorthin verschieben, aber bitte entferne nicht komplett und schon gar nicht durch Edit-War. Es gibt hier keine Regel, die besagt, dass eine Ortskategorie unter keinen Umständen angemessen ist.

Bloßes Entfernen gegen den Konsens (weitere Benutzer im Forum sagen, die Ortskategorie sollte nicht entfernt werden) kann als Vandalismus angesehen werden und zur Sperre führen. Danke. --A.Savin 18:29, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Allosaurus?[edit]

Hi Gretarsson,

You don't agree that this skull belongs to a Megalosaurus, File:Dino - Megalosaurus - 1.jpg. But I think that on the label in the museum they wrote Megalosaurus. Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 08:29, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Skull reconstruction of Megalosaurus; unknown bones are rendered in dark grey
Allosaurus skull reconstruction…
…and another one…
…and yet another one.
All three look as if they were identical to the alleged “Megalosaurus” skull reconstruction (which is because all four are probably replicas of the same Allosaurus fragilis skull reconstruction, based on the work of Madsen, 1976)
Hi DenesFeri,
then there are three possibilities:
1) The labelling was plain wrong, which would be a really severe lapsus, and I can hardly imagine that.
2) You confused the label with that of a nearby exhibit of Megalosaurus.
3) Your memory is incorrect.
Anyhow, the skull reconstruction on your picture is extremely similar to the skull reconstruction of Allosaurus fragilis as published by Madsen (1976, Plate 1). Furthermore, there are only a few skull bones known from Megalosaurus (cf. drawing in the upper image to the right). For instance, the lacrimal is not known. So reconstructing the skull of Megalosaurus with a prominent lacrimal “horn” would be quite speculative since most Megalosaurids from which the lacrimal is known do not have a pronounced lacrimal “horn” (e.g. Torvosaurus, Dubreuillosaurus, Eustreptospondylus). Also, the skulls of megalosaurids are generally rather low and elongated, accompanied by a dorsal/nasal process of the maxilla that is directed posteriorly rather than dorsally. So the skull of Megalosaurus may have resembled that of Torvosaurus rather than that of Allosaurus… --Gretarsson (talk) 11:53, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Gretarsson, I'm not an expert in dinosaurs, so I believe you. And thank you for the correction! Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 08:29, 18 September 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]

hi, du hast meine dateiversion zurückgesetzt - ich habe festgestellt, dass die Legende tatsächlich falsch ist - das sollte nicht passieren - den diskussionspunkt bzgl. steigen und steigt bzw sinken und sinkt hab ich jetzt auch nachvollzogen - das war ursprünglich auch richtig
aber was verstehst du unter kosmetischen änderungen? - hast du bemerkt, dass ich neben einigen optischen veränderungen den ganzen code verbessert und reduziert habe?
es gibt unterschiedliche meinungen zum erscheinungsbild der grafiken - ich empfinde die grafik so wie sie war als würde sie in einem buch für kleinkinder stehen - die linien unnötig stark - die pfeile kleksig und unsymetrisch - die fraben viel zu grell bzw. zu stark
aber das ist nur meine meinung - wie siehst du es? - findest du die grafik entspricht einer sachlichen zeigemäßen darstellung? danke und gruß --Mrmw (talk) 13:48, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kosmetische Änderungen sind Änderungen an der Grafik, die nicht (als solche beabsichtigte) inhaltliche Änderungen zum Gegenstand haben, sondern ausschließlich Farbgebung, Liniendicke u. dergl. Und die sind oft, du implizierst es ja selbst, von persönlichen Präferenzen motiviert. Ich hab auch kein Problem damit, aber Inhalt geht letztlich vor Optik, und auch Dateigröße ist nachranging, sofern wir von ein- vs. zweistellige kB sprechen. Deshalb hab ich zurückgesetzt. Außerdem hast du so die Gelegenheit, selbst eine korrigierte Fassung der kosmetisch und codemäßig überarbeiteten Datei hochzuladen… --Gretarsson (talk) 17:28, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
danke, deine argumente sind nachvollziehbar - wenn allgemeingültig eine, ich nenne es mal änderung im layout, eine gleichzeitige inhaltliche änderung bedingt bzw. vorraussetzt, dann könnte das für inhaltsarme grafiken bedeuten, dass sie für immer in ihrem (subjektive wahrnehmung) veralteten auftreten fristen
fändest du es sinnvoll wenn ich für meine änderungen (korrekter inhalt und legende mal vorrausgesetzt) eine neue datei hochgeladen hätte? separate frage: hättest du die datei bei korrektem inhalt auch zurückgesetzt? danke und gruß --Mrmw (talk) 18:18, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nein, ohne die Fehler in der Beschriftung hätte ich nicht zurückgesetzt. Du kannst die aktuelle Version von mir aus wieder überschreiben, sofern die Fehler behoben sind… --Gretarsson (talk) 21:46, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gretarsson,

Thank you for your contribution to the svg img on the "Herd immunity" page. I've added a Chinese translation version of the svg but somehow the "Upload a newer version of this file" button vanished from the img page. As I saw you were the last contributor to this image, may I know how you updated this image? Thank you very much :D!

Sincerely,

Hope that helps. Cheers! --Gretarsson (talk) 14:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you!! Not sure why I couldn't see the button except on the page of test.svg... Maybe because my account is a new one and WikiCommons forbade me updating others' work at the moment? Let me try to see how I can solve this!
JPiGGoD (talk) 01:22, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@JPiGGoD: Indeed, you need to be registered at least for four days to be allowed to overwrite existing files (after four days you will get the so-called autopatrolled status, see Commons:User access levels#Registered users). So, all you can do is just wait or make user actions which does not require autopatrolled status… --Gretarsson (talk) 09:57, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
However, you could post the code block with the text (and span) elements which you want to add to the code of the Herd_immunity.svg here on this page and I will add it for you and upload the new version. Needless to say that then I would credit you in the upload comment, of course. --Gretarsson (talk) 10:05, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gretarsson: Thank you!! I'm also planning to translate it into Simplified Chinese & Japanese (when I am off work tonight). Or may let me see if that button appears from my terminal miraculously after I finish editing the words. Thanks!

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase, please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2020.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Verwendung der Karte zum Manzer Becken[edit]

Hallo Gretarsson, wir möchten als Heimat- und Verkehrsverein einen beschilderten Rundweg um Harxheim errichten und dabei auch eine Infotafel zum Mainzer Becken aufstellen (DIN A3). Wir würden neben unseren Text gerne dabei auch Deine Karte zum Mainzer Becken auf der Tafel darstellen (und um einen Pfeil in Richtung der Buchstaben M.B. ergänzen) und bitten hierfür um Dein Einverständnis. Für diesen Fall möchten wir gerne wissen, welche Quellenangaben wir unter Deiner Darstellung zum Mainzer Becken machen sollen. Viele Grüße Birgit Korte Phürgitt (talk) 13:25, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Frau Korte,

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.

If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Thanks for uploading File:Koerperteile der voegel.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.
