Hello High Contrast -

ALL uploaded images are in fact owned by me and can be viewed at www.austincalhoon.com, please do not delete.

Thank you, austin calhoon user atcace—Preceding unsigned comment added by Atcace (talk • contribs)

Hi! No problem, if everything's allright, these images will of course be kept. Really your own photos? Did you take them all? Can you upload them in a higher resolution, please? --High Contrast (talk) 14:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Yes I took them all. I am a still life photographer and noticed a lot of the things I shot had not so good examples on the wiki pages. This is the standard web resolution from my website, it will take a lot of time to resize everything but I can do it soon. Thanks, Austin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Atcace (talk • contribs)

Would be great to have them in the highest resolution you have. On Commons, such sizes are highly appreciated. By the way, I have closed the deletion request. Please keep me in the loop about the re-upload in a higher resolution of your files. Just tell me when you start to do it. Thanks for your support. Regards, High Contrast (talk) 15:33, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

I notice they all seem to have been renominated, due to lack of OTRS ID-confirmation.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 02:49, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Good finding! Have you noticed this? Regards, High Contrast (talk) 07:56, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Quality images of rolling stock

I noticed you copied most of my QI category to the QI rolling stock category. Unfortunately my QI folder all have sortkeys, so they won't be sorted alphabetically in the new category. -mattbuck (Talk) 20:48, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Well, I did not create this category. I only started to copy some files into this cat. You may ask the creator. --High Contrast (talk) 12:38, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Mont Blanc photo

Hi, it seems you deleted my upload [1] with explanation scaled down version of File:PanoMontBlancHDR edit 1.jpg; no need for this. It was actually not only scaled down but also cropped to fit Wikivoyage banner ratio [2] because I wanted to use it as such there. Can you undo your deletion?

Best, Jjtkk (talk) 12:03, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I have just restored it. --High Contrast (talk) 16:50, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Jjtkk (talk) 09:06, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes

Why have you removed this picture (File:Tatiana Sorokko falcon dress.jpg) of Tatiana Sorokko that I have personally taken in 2010? I own the copyright of this image, and I have released it appropriately. Please restore the file.--FrancoiseDubois (talk) 17:32, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

The same image appeares here http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_x2KU6LjBYIY/S7EYNffKXCI/AAAAAAAACNk/HgVxGV3IGeQ/s640/Falcon+Dress.jpg . As such it is very doubtful that it is your own work. --High Contrast (talk) 17:35, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

You may opine that this is very doubtful, but the work, in fact, is mine. I am a professional photographer's assistant and took the picture myself in 2009. Please do not act on your unsubstantiated doubts and restore my photograph.--FrancoiseDubois (talk) 17:58, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I have mistakenly written that I have taken the picture in 2010 in my first note to you. I took it in 2009.--FrancoiseDubois (talk) 18:03, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Upload it in its original resolution/pixel count. --High Contrast (talk) 19:12, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay. Thank you. But would it not be easier if you simply reversed your deletion? Can it be done? Thanks again.--FrancoiseDubois (talk) 20:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Just upload it. No need to restore the old one. Please let me know if you have uploaded the "new" original file. --High Contrast (talk) 21:13, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I'll have to do it on Monday. The file is in my office. I'll let you know.--FrancoiseDubois (talk) 21:56, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Great! Leave me a short message here. If any questions are left, feel free to ask me. Regards, High Contrast (talk) 21:58, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Greetings - I got your message about image sourcing. Unfortunately the Air Force image publishing system is not very friendly for links to the image descriptions...you pretty much have to go the base's image homepage and search for the caption text. Here is where I found that particular image; unfortunately the URL is not stable as the page number changes as new photos are added. Kelly (talk) 19:38, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

That's not correct. The Air Force pages do host pages including file and information - please check out the link which I have posted on your talk page. --High Contrast (talk) 19:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

They are good about including all info in the metadata though...I think that's how the description popups are generated. Kelly (talk) 19:41, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Please check the link I have posted on your talk page. I have inserted a link on a file uploaded which is considered to be a valid source. Please keep in mind that EXIF-data can easily be modified. Please respect COM:L. --High Contrast (talk) 19:44, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Not all images are used in news stories. I am a license reviewer, BTW. Kelly (talk) 19:45, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

If these images do not occur in news stories they appear on different subpages on this af-site. Because you are a license reviewer you should set a good example. --High Contrast (talk) 19:48, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

A bot upload from Free Photo World is containig duplicates

Please note very small difference between File:Daf 3300.jpg and File:Daf 3300 (7354359940).jpg, File:Fiat 40 NC - Flickr - Joost J. Bakker IJmuiden.jpg and File:Fiat 40 NC (7358504388).jpg. Ain92 (talk) 18:14, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

 Done --High Contrast (talk) 18:15, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• I think that you should somehow search for other duplicates because Free Photo World seems to upload a lot of Joost J. Bakker photos with corrected lightness/contrast/gamma etc. Maybe it's useful to upload corrected versions to the old filenames. Ain92 (talk) 18:19, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
• Is Free Photo World violating author rights of J. J. Bakker? They do not indicate his authorship although AFAIK it's required for the CC-BY license. Ain92 (talk) 14:47, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Free Photo World seems to be the new account of J. J. Bakker. His old one is defunct. Newest contributions from May 2013 are of the same style and the same technical appearance as the old images. So, it is highly unlikely that there is a huge copyvio-monster. But if you have certain doubts you must ask the flickr user. --High Contrast (talk) 18:04, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

• I send a private message, the answer was negative. I can either forward you a Flickr notification with the reply if you disclose your e-mail via Special:EmailUser/ain92 or you can write a PM yourself. Ain92 (talk) 19:04, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

This Message

Dear Admin High Contrast,

I don't know you but I remember that you uploaded many images from flickr among other photo sites. So, I thought I should give you this 'warning' about the newly redesigned flickr site which sucks. Yahoo, which owns flickr, just threw up another barrier for flickr account owners to license an image freely. A flickr account owner has to learn 2 or 3 steps to license an image freely now. Somehow, I wonder if the flickr redesign is about money. Don't reply to my message. Just read it and maybe make a note of what I and Bidgee said there....in case you want an image licensed freely in future. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:35, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Leoboudv! Agreed. The "new" flickr site is complete bullshit. The interface is bullshit and the performance is bullshit. Flickr is dead for me now if there is no possibility to get to the old structure. Regards and thanks! --High Contrast (talk) 13:20, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

• You're welcome. Yahoo put up more barriers to get a flickr account owner to license an image freely from say ARR that maybe the amount of photos that Commons will get from flickr will fall by 50% I think (except from images of accounts that already have their images licensed freely) sadly. Best Wishes, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:36, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Estadio IPD de Moyobamba.jpg

my dearest friend, the Stadium file IPD Moyobamba.jpg, is 100% mine, only work for a magazine of a regional circulation daily, and put that picture on the cover of the newspaper, but now I want to upload Wikipedia, with the logo of my company, what should I do to verify that is 100% mine?

ESPAÑOL

mi queridisimo amigo, el archivo Estadio IPD de Moyobamba.jpg, es 100% mio, solo que trabajo para una revista de un diario de circulacion regional, y puse esa foto en la portada de dicho periodico, pero ahora quiero subirlo a Wikipedia, con el logotipo de mi empresa, ¿que hago para constatar que es 100% mio?

Agradesco tu pronta respuesta. --Matador3020 (talk) 22:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

My dear friend! Can you please upload the same image in a higher resolution and without that watermark? --High Contrast (talk) 22:17, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello!,the original resolution camera is on the watermark logo you mean: D 'Moyo Studio "no?

Sure, and non

--Matador3020 (talk) 22:26, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Upload the original photo without that watermark. Overwrite the old file. --High Contrast (talk) 22:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

explain us how to overwrite a file, can you do it?. --Matador3020 (talk) 22:34, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Just upload it under a new file name. That's easier now. Please start to upload. --High Contrast (talk) 22:36, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Ready, here is the 100% original photo from my Canon camera, what do I do now? thumb|Interior del estadio IPD de Moyobamba --Matador3020 (talk) 22:45, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Nothing. All is done - it is ok. One question: Do you have a bigger version of it? --High Contrast (talk) 22:47, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

From how much resolution you want?, because if so, I can enlarge in Photoshop Lightroom without affecting the quality. --Matador3020 (talk) 22:52, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

NO, no enlargement by software. No need for this. Just upload the original size from your photo apperatus - by now the image is very small. --High Contrast (talk) 22:55, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Look, I have the original resolution is 2272 X 1704 pixels, okay if I upload this? --Matador3020 (talk) 23:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes, upload this file in its original 2272 X 1704 pixel size. Please do so with all files you are uploading. Can you do the same with this image: File:Catedral de Moyobamba.jpg. --High Contrast (talk) 10:45, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Why are you deleting my images?

I uploaded a picture I took during the Russian Invasion of South Ossetia and you deleted it. I now see you are trying to other images taken off this page.

Why are you doing this?

I was in the Republic of Georgia during the Russian invasion 2008. I was driving near Tskhinvali and some of the Russian armored units were out of position of the areas they were supposed to be in by the Paris agreement before the Georgians went back into Gori. Some Russian armored units were trying to provoke an incident and would periodically shoot at passing cars. I thought someone should know what was happening so I hid my camera in my hat to get this picture. By all evidence this is the only know image of a Russian soldier engaged in ethnic cleansing in South Ossetia (that's why their faces are masked)during the war. I think it's important for this picture to be seen. Someone, and I have my suspicion which group, removed it when it was uploaded before. Please realize I was in some danger to get this picture. To be honest, I have a few enemies who monitor my work and they will periodically sabotage my efforts in this area of reporting. I have to ask this question, although it may sound overly dramatic, but due to the nature of my reporting and the places I go, I have to ask this question: Are you an agent of the Russian government or a Russian nationalist with sympathies for the illegal invasion of Georgia? If not, then please explain why you are removing important images and documents relating to possible criminal activities by Russian troops in this war.
