Hi, Yann. Thanks for your Welcome-Message.
But: aren't you a bit late? As you can see in the History of my userpage, I'm here since January 2005.
Well - ไม่เป็นไร (nevermind). Thanks anyway. --hdamm 10:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Chitralada.jpg

This file has incorrect license. Its talk page (th) said that "2T" who originally uploaded in the smaller version took from a web (as fair-use), and then "Yoong Cha Mud" stretched the image and claimed into GFDL himself. So "2T" later requested for deleting this file caused by wrong permission. So this file is illegal to exist. --Octahedron80 15:49, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't look at that page, just saw the picture - my fault. Thanks for the clarification. --hdamm 09:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Image deletion warning Image:Dsc04100.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this image, please note that the fact that it has 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 it, such as a copyright issue. If the file is up for deletion because it has been superseded by a superior derivative of your work, consider the notion that although the file may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new file.

[edit] correct usage of categories

Hello there Hdamm. Each image has to be in at least one category, the most specific one if possible. Since we do not know if other users will upload further images of for example a museum or temple, it makes sense to already create a specific category for that. Red links are fine too, since often a times someone else will also have put images or categories into a red link. When someone finally links the red link, making it a proper one, many other items appear in it suddenly.

About your question about Wats, I think you will agree with me that a temple is clearly a building. Whatever other function it has, you can add other categories to it, for example "Religion in Thailand" or something like that. sincerely Gryffindor 21:16, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Gryffindor. Maybe you're right concerning the "most specific one if possible". What I'm complaining about is the inflationary, overwhelming and confusing amount of new categories. Example: I like to use the meta:CatScan-Tool for scanning new or altered images in Commons. It tells me: "scan aborted after 675 categories (4 levels)". 675! How can you ever find a proper category for a new picture out of more than 675? Especially if your conception of certain categories differs from other people's (see my complain about Wat).
BTW, you don't need to explain WikiMedia to me.
--hdamm 08:41, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I didn't make up the rules. All I know is that images have to be put into a category, and the more specific it is the better. Look at for example categories for fauna. We don't put insects all into one category called "insects", they are instead all very specific. I have serious problems for example when a building category holds large amounts of pictures, it is easier for me to navigate if they are neatly cleaned up and sorted, somewhat like in a library. Gryffindor 09:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Korrektes Thailändisch

Hi, Hdamm; ich hab im Prinzip nix gegen Ergänzungen meiner Bildbeschreibungen Image:2008-06-14ThaiRestaurant01.jpg ff. Die Fotos entstanden beim letzten Stuttgarter Wikipediastammtisch, die Benamsungen der Gerichte sind hier auf der Homepage des Restaurants zu finden. Können die ihre eigene Sprache nicht? Etwas verwirrte Grüsse, --Wildfeuer (talk) 16:31, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hallo Wildfeuer. Wahrscheinlich können die ihre Sprache schon. Es zeigt allerdings das Problem, das die ganze Welt mit der Übertragung thailändischer Schriftzeichen in das lateinische Alphabet hat. In Thailand gibt es mittlerweile einen königlich abgesegneten Standard, den wir hier in der Wikipedia (wenigstens in der englischen und der deutschsprachigen) benutzen (zu benutzen versuchen), damit die Umschrift überall einheitlich ist. Leider hält sich selbst in Thailand auch nicht unbedingt jeder daran ;-(
Der deutsche Artikel heißt übrigens Thailändisches Umschrift-System, den entsprechenden englischen habe ich im Bemerkungstext angegeben. --hdamm (talk) 16:46, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Nachtrag: wenn man die Schreibweise des Thai-Garden benutzt, wird man u.U. auch nur vom dortigen Personal verstanden, während man mit dem RTGS doch eine überregionale Chance der Verständigung hat. --hdamm (talk) 16:49, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
A-ha. Besten Dank für die Info und für die Korrekturen. Du machst doch weiter damit, oder?! :o) Das Essen war übrigens sehr lecker... --Wildfeuer (talk) 16:53, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Ich glaube Dir gerne, dass das Essen lecker war, das sieht man schon an den tollen Bildern! --hdamm (talk) 16:58, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Dankeschön! *artig knicks* Wären wohl paar Bilder mehr, wenn ich 'ne bessere Kamera hätt... Na, solang der Mensch Wünsche hat, hat er noch Ziele.... So, dann geh ich jetzt mal beruhigt mein Jungvolk abfüttern. Schwäbisch... Dir noch frohes Schaffen und einen schönen Abend. Lieben Gruß aus dem Remstal, --Wildfeuer (talk) 17:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright questions

If you created the image, in this case, the logo, then you are the copyright holder. If you found this image from the site company and you uploaded it, without permission, then you are violating the copyright of this image. Regards, Sdrtirs (talk) 14:23, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

So, as I created this image, I am the copyright holder, right? --hdamm (talk) 14:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
May I also direct your attention to Category:Bangkok Transportation Systems. There is also a lot to do for you? Regards --hdamm (talk) 14:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Who created this Image:BMCL-Logo.png? You said the source is the company site. If you copied it from the site, then is a copyright violation. If you created "manually", then you are the copyright holder of the image. Be aware that these images are subject to trademark and it's hold by the company.--Sdrtirs (talk) 14:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

You can upload from the company site if and only if the image is under {{PD-textlogo}}, like Image:BRT Logo.PNG.--Sdrtirs (talk) 14:35, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

The Image:BTS Logo Bangkok Skytrain.png was claimed to be created by the uploader and wasn't copy from the site. The uploader may search information from the company but not copying (cut and paste) from the site. If the uploader drew by he self the image, then he is the copyright owner. But the trademark will still be registered to the company.--Sdrtirs (talk) 14:44, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

If you think that any image is a copyright violation, you can add {{delete|REASON}} in the image description and following the steps needed.--Sdrtirs (talk) 14:47, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Who created this Image:BMCL-Logo.png?--Sdrtirs (talk) 14:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok! As you claim that the image was created by you, then it isn't a copyright violation. Pay always attention to this! Commons only accepted free licenses, fair use images will be deleted, also copyright violation images. Have good edits, or uploads!--Sdrtirs (talk) 15:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

The template {{PD-textlogo}} it's used when the image wasn't uploaded by it's copyright owner. If you want to release the image into public domain, you can use {{PD-self}} instead. The logo image must be always subject to trademark ({{trademarked}}).--Sdrtirs (talk) 15:32, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your phantastic pictures

"Hi Ddalbiez. I really appreciate your beautiful pictures of Khmer temples in Thailand. Thank you for uploading. But I have one request: please add a category to your pictures! I did that already for your temple pictures, but there are still some photos without any category - because I don't know of a "General Dalbiez-Boite". Thank you. --hdamm (talk) 18:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)"

Thank you so much for your help, Heinrich. I added a category for the pictures of my Great Grand father welcoming General Lyautey.

I have a generic issue: it seems I cannot use categories from the French Wikipedia for the Pictures in Wikimedia commons? I probably don't uderstand how it works? Cheers, and thanks again.

--Ddalbiez (talk)

That's right, you just can use those categories that are already defined within Commons. Alternativly you can create a new category, but please add also categories to this one for other people to find it again ;-)

[edit] Prasat Phnom Wan

Hello Thank you for helping me categorizing my pictures. I have an issue though, with the category Prasat Hin Phanom Wan: I don't have a problem with the different translitteration Phanom/Phnombut I don't agree on including the word Hin, used only for Phimai. Could you rename the category into Prasat Phanom Wan or Prasat Phnom Wan? Thank you. Dom Ddalbiez

I named it Prasat Hin Phanom Wan in accordance with Thai Wikipedia, as they have an article called th:ปราสาทหินพนมวัน. Khmer temples in Thailand are often called Prasat Hin (="stone palace") - OTOH when you look into Google, the "ปราสาทพนมวัน" (Prasat Phanom Wan) has about 29,500 hits while "ปราสาทหินพนมวัน" (Prasat Hin ...) has only 4000 hits. So its not totally wrong. --hdamm (talk) 09:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wat or not Wat

Heinrich,

I want to ask you a favor: could you have a look look at the list of articles I intend to write and correct the names if they are wrong:

  • Nakhon Pathom
  • Chiang Rai
  • Ayutthaya

Thanks. Dom Ddalbiez (talk)

With pleasure. Here you are:
  • "Mueang Tam" - maybe more exact "Prasat Mueang Tam"?
What about these Ayutthaya-temples:
I'm really looking forward to see your phantastic photos. --hdamm (talk) 10:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you so much, Heinrich
Regarding the monument to the king of Chiang Rai, I don't have that many pictures, so I will stick to your recommendation.

[edit] Gajasimha and Makara

Hello Heinrich, I see you are in disagreement with Vittorio Roveda, Images of the gods: khmer mythology in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos, River Books, 2005, ISBN 974 9863 03 8; he makes a distinction between the two (Gajasimha and Makara), but says they are a variant of each other. Not being an expert myself, I have no opinion. Take care Dom (talk) 16:34, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dom. Well - maybe there is not such a difference in Cambodie between those two. But in Thailand there is! Please compare thes tow pictures: Gajasimha and Makara (Makara is the one, that "swallows" the Naga). --hdamm (talk) 13:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Kinnari and Kinnara, etc...

Heinrich No objection in merging them. BTW, I always appreciate your interventions to clean up a bit my pictures and the categories I create (I am still quite young with Wikimeida). Thanks. Dom (talk) 16:37, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Move of File:Mudra.jpg

I have seen that you approved the move of File:Mudra.jpg to File:Thai_wai.jpg. Do you also change the links in the 5 Wikipedia articles or does a bot that? Regards, Wouter (talk) 21:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Wouter. At first I was hoping, this would be done by a bot. But I changed the links in those 5 articles already.
BTW: I was wondering, why you call this simple greeting a mudra. But ok. No problem. --hdamm (talk) 12:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
At that time (in february 2004 I created the page Mudra) I used my photo as an illustration of a mudra for the Dutch Wikipedia and therefore named it mudra. In the German Wikipedia it says "Die Mudra ist eine symbolische Handgeste (Handbewegung, Handstellung), die sowohl im alltäglichen Leben (siehe die Gruß-Geste Namaste), in der religiösen Praxis als auch im indischen Tanz ihre Anwendung findet.". So I think that the new file name "Thai wai" is indeed better. It is an example of the many mudras. Wouter (talk) 22:06, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Prasat Ban Prasat

Hello Heinrich


Could you consider renaming category "Prasat Ban Prasat" into "Prasat Ban Prasat (Sisaket)" as I am going to create a new category for the Prasat Ban Prasat located in Surin province and that I would like to call "Prasat Ban Prasat" (Surin).

Thanks

Take care.

Dom (talk) 10:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dom. I'm sorry, but I am not able to rename a category, this is up to administrators.
But what I did: I studied Commons:Rename_a_category, moved all files from the old category to the new one, edited the old category (put up a "Category redirect"). After that put a rename request on this page: User_talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. Now we can only hope, that I did not make any mistake. If everything goes okay, than the old category should be disappeared within a couple of days.
Looking forward for your new pics. --hdamm (talk) 16:12, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Prasat Tao Thong, Wat Dhammachaksemaram, Prasat ta Muen

Prasat Tao Thong (14°36'06.0"N 103°43'88.7"E) was a -probably minor- prasat. Not much is left of it,and now there is a buddhist temple standing on its ground, with a Buddha statue and a turtle, hence the name of Prasat of the golden turtle. I will include it in the french Wikipedia just to be exhaustive. I discovered it by accident, going to another prasat, seing a signal mentioning it. Wat Dhammachaksemaram (14°54.992N 101°47.638E) or Dhamma Chakra Sema Ram is also known as Wat Phra Non. Along with the Dvaravati Buddah (that was found at Mueang Sema), several law wheels (pictures to be published) give its name to this temple. Once again, I have a picture of the signal at the entrance (inthai). Tell me where I can send it.

Could this be Prasat Ta Muean Tot? Or maybe Prasat Ta Muean Thom?? Please specify (note the spelling muean according to Royal Thai General System of Transcription). --hdamm (talk) 11:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Neither! Prasat Ta Muen (14°21'32.9"N 103°15'50.6"E), Prasat Ta Muen Thom and Prasat Ta Muen Toch are three different prasat (please refer to the books by Michael Freeman and/or Vittorio Roveda). They are distant of a few hundred meters from each other, and located on the same road going to and close to the cambodian border. I took some pictures of the panels at the entrance of each prasat. At what address can I send them? As for the spelling, since I cannot read thai, I rely on the experts (of khmer art, not translitteration), so feel free to correct my mistakes. Thanks again for your -much appreciated- help.

Dom (talk) 17:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello Dom. Thanks for the GeoRefs. I will check them soon. As for the TAT-panels/signposts (TAT=TouristAuthorityThailand): you could publish them here at Commons within the corresponding categories (maybe with a lower resolution). As I do not speak enough French to read your French articles, it could be a small help to get some info about the temples - not just for me.
I think, you mentioned the book/the books(?) by Michael Freeman or Vittorio Roveda already somewhere here. I think, I need to buy them myself. Could you please post the title/ISBN etc. again here? Thank you. --hdamm (talk) 08:53, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Heinrich.
  • Here are the references
Michael Freeman, A guide to Khmer temples in Thailand & Laos, Rivers Books, 1996 (ISBN 974-8900-76-2) (can still be found maybe as second hand, a new edition was planned sometime ago)
Michael Freeman, Palaces of the Gods: Khmer Art & Architecture in Thailand, River Books, 2001 (ISBN 974-8303-19-5)
Vittorio Roveda, Images of the gods: khmer mythology in Cambodia, Thailand and Laos, River Books, 2005 (ISBN 974-9863-03-8)


  • As you suggest, I will upload low resolution pictures of the thai panels at the entrance of the few prasat we are discussing about. I was hesitating to do this as they are of little interest to most people.
Here are two links to the pictures...
http://ddalbiez.free.fr/Slideshow/gallery/25-Prasat%20Ta%20Muen/Large/25-Prasat%20Ta%20Muen-000.jpg
http://ddalbiez.free.fr/Slideshow/gallery/Wat%20Dhammachaksemaram/Large/Wat%20Dhammachaksemaram-000.jpg


  • The new categories I created are for articles to be published, hence the -very- limited info. My methodology is as follows: 1) create the wikimedia categories 2) updload panoramas 3) upload choice of pictures 4) create article structure (including position, deities, dates, references, etc...) in the French Wikipedia 5)put some "meat" around the article skeleton 6)Finalize the article.
Take care
Dom (talk) 09:11, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the book listings. I tried to find Freeman's "Guide to Khmer temples" at several used-books-stores, but I found only one offer (Amazon.com!) for 398 US$!!!! I don't think I'll buy that one, but I'll keep looking ;-)
I own the "Palaces of the Gods" already, but there are only the "big ones" in it. Anyhow, I like Freeman's photos.
I own also: Vittori Roveda: Khmer Mythology - Secrets of Angkor, 1998 at Weatherhill. In the cover text it says also, that there was a RiverBooks edition in 1997. Maybe this is the book you were talking about? There is only the title page at GoogleBooks. My volume has about 176 pages and covers apart from an "Introduction": "Myths and Legend" and "Index of Locations", the last one being about "Bakong", "Banteay Srei", "Bapuon" and so on.
I think, there is nothing to object, if you upload those low resolution pics of the thai panels ... if they're readable, like those two links above (BTW: the fist blue one is not from TAT but the Thai Department of Fine Arts - see the Ganesha in the upper left corner?). You know, if you look at all those pictures about Thailand, that so many people uploaded to Commons: there is really a lot of garbage, and nobody cares. So I think, if only just one person gets some additional information from it (me!) than an upload is justified.
Also nothing to object to your "methodology". One suggestion though: if you finished an article in French Wikipedia, maybe you could add an Interwiki-Link in the Commons category, or link it in the category-description - see for instance here.
--hdamm (talk) 16:49, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
P.S. While you cannot find no information at all about "Wat Dhammachaksemaram" there are literally thousands of links in the Thai world when you search for "วัดธรรมจักรเสมาราม". See also my edits in Category:Wat Dhammachaksemaram. Thank you. --hdamm (talk) 17:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
