The nospam trout

Huntster, you know I like you, and I'm not trying to be nasty, but this is hardly defensible on the grounds that we should all proofread what we paste right after we copy it. We are talking about a single character vanishing. Certainly, pasting in an email address is something we do quickly, and tend not to check to see if what we just copied, pasted exactly the same. We trust that it does, because it always does.

And I'm not trying to dump on a single editor. This is something we all should have noticed and fixed, hence the village pump trouting. But perhaps I'm being a bit emotional. I am still very cross at the thought of so many images being lost, plus my own issues. I waited more than a year for Mark Beaumont to finish his Americas ride and send me images. He is hard to get in touch with, but he finally did, and I sent him the wrong email address. Embarrassing and heartbreaking at once. I'm sorry to be so upset. I should be more considerate of other's feelings. Best wishes, and no hard feelings I hope. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:10, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Re: Amy Lee

Amy Lee Photo

Hello there the photo of Amy Lee was taken during the Tuborg gold fest in istanbul. İ Took the photo on the 04.07.2012 so its a quite recent shot.

Let me know of you need additional info! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.54.80.0 (talk • contribs) 09:26, 3 August 2012‎ (UTC)

Super Guppy

The issue is that Category:N941NA (aircraft) and Category:NASA Super Guppy Turbine refer to the same object, so one must go (or redirect to the other). I chose to preserve the first for consistency with other categories for individual aircrafts. Also note that there is no reason for Category:N941NA (aircraft) to be a sub-category of Category:F-GEAI (aircraft) instead of Category:Aero Spacelines Super Guppy Turbine.

As you can see these edits were made for a reason. Next time you disagree with a change please discuss it instead of simply reverting it. I'll let you fix the categories. Bomazi (talk) 17:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Huntster ..

Do you know of anyway of finding out when this picture was "published"?

A friend wants to use it for a FA attempt. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Chedzilla (talk) 22:43, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

I know the horse lived from 1900 to 1923, but I cannot verify when it was published. I personally believe it must have been published in that time period, but cannot prove it, and further cannot prove *where* it was first published (the first 9 years of its life were spent in the UK). Unfortunately I don't really know anything about this topic, so I don't know where or whom you might speak to that might have records. Perhaps http://www.arabianhorses.org ? Huntster (t @ c) 09:04, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Hunster, I might check in Datasource there, it's behind a paywall, but there MIGHT be something. Montanabw (talk) 21:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
I wonder if you could call/email them and see if they at least could point you in a better direction. They might know of additional resources. Huntster (t @ c) 22:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I wanted to let you know I tagged this image as a copyright violation. The source notes the image is "courtesy Huntington Ingalls Industries/Released". It was not taken by a member of the US Navy. There are multiple other images available at that site that are in fact taken by members of the US Navy (example). I recommend using one of those. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 17:06, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

I distinctly remember a DR that dealt with this situation, in which the outcome was decided that credit lines in that format (U.S. Navy photo courtesy Huntington Ingalls Industries/Released) meant that the latter had released rights to the former, but apparently I didn't save that case file, and cannot find it now. Ah well. Perhaps I can locate it later. Huntster (t @ c) 00:51, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
If you do find it, please drop me a note to let me know. :) All the best, --Hammersoft (talk) 03:33, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Well, now I'm dealing with some images uploaded by User:Matanya, taken from the Navy's Flickr account. I'm leaving a message now...this may become a problem since many folk assume that if the license is CC-BY on a government Flickr account, it is automatically acceptable, without looking at the byline. :/ Huntster (t @ c) 03:48, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
  • I haven't seen the US Navy's flickr feed, but if an image is being posted by them on their own feed and they are tagging it with a CC license that is compatible with us, I think we can safely ignore the byline in that case. The problem with the images on their navy.mil site is that when the images come from another source, they just say "released". That doesn't mean anything vis-a-vis the license. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:04, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
You know, that is a good point...it means the onus is on the military service. I just realised that the images on the Navy site are emailed in to a single point (navymedia@navy.mil), and then selected to be posted on the site. The remaining issue is that the Flickr feed uses the CC-by-3.0 license (I suppose they've not gotten the memo that Flickr allows for Gov PD), which is obviously incorrect considering U.S. Gov images are public domain. I'm wondering if this issue should be raised elsewhere to gain a consensus going forward, so there is less confusion. Huntster (t @ c) 02:30, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
It might do to start a discussion. I see possibly four cases:
  1. Images posted to navy.mil marked as being done by a member of the US Navy are obviously PD-Gov.
  2. Images posted to navy.mil not so marked as (1) above, but courtesy of somewhere else are always tagged as "released" which means nothing; we usually delete these on sight.
  3. Images posted to their flickr feed which are by a member of the US Navy and tagged with a Commons compatible CC license are obviously tagged incorrectly on the flickr feed. If used here, the license should be PD-gov.
  4. Images posted to their flickr feed which are not by a member of the US Navy and tagged with a Commons compatible CC license can be uploaded here with the same license as indicated on the Flickr feed.
Thoughts? --Hammersoft (talk) 16:59, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

On models...

Hi Hunster, from your comment at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fiat 880 DT tractor.jpg, I gather you have an interest in models (or the outcomes of related discussions) and are something of a layperson with regards to their copyright. I tried to assemble thoughts and support at User:Elcobbola/Models and I was wondering whether you’d be interested in giving me feedback. I’m largely hoping to learn whether or not you feel it is clear/understandable/accessible/etc., especially to someone who may only have a middling familiarity with copyright. Of course, any other comments—good or bad—would be welcome. Эlcobbola talk 20:00, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the note Elcobbola, I'll check it out and get back to you. I'm confident on most copyright issues, but didn't want to comment on that case as models are not in my field of comfort. I definitely think more consolidated, focused guides like this need to be made, for the sake of future DRs and for an easier time handling mass deletions. Huntster (t @ c) 03:44, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

hey Huntster

There is this Russian laser target which is tumbling as all passive things do, then it got slapped by Chinese debris a few days ago, and spins a bit faster now and is in 'at least two pieces' anyhow, I was doodling and drew this, it's a cropped version and I could probably do a reasonable short video sort of thing, or just this, either is good. I don't even think there is an article for it anywhere though. But maybe a junk article ? I don't know. Maybe this one goes to the vid if a vid were to be made. Penyulap 17:30, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Oh if you use Internet explorer, this pic sucks, as it is slowed down too far afaik. Penyulap 17:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Oh Pen, that is a fantastic representation of BLITS. As far as I know, there is no article yet on it, but when I have some time, I'll try to write one on en.wiki (I am absolutely swamped with backlog work right now). Honestly, I don't know that a video is even necessary...this GIF works perfectly well in Firefox and Chrome, and at least for me, runs at a very acceptable pace in IE 9 (will be installing 10 soon, will test it there as well). I'll also add appropriate categories later on. Huntster (t @ c) 19:59, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
sweeet. (I still feel guilty about the molinyas I haven't sketched yet) glad I'm not the only one who likes it :D
Makes my day. Though I don't much care about en.wiki SF anymore, the ISS can rot, and the picture situation is just plain stupid. The chinese station has two pics available from two wiki artists, but W:OPSEK is fair use because nobody can draw it ? whatever.
But every now and then I get to sketching parts of space and stations, some control panel like they had in the 2010 space odyssey Leonov, and something like a keno examining it with it's own illumination, and oh I'll have to show you sometime, its only tiny, but it looks kindof like the keno has personality. Penyulap 20:17, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
Hah, I do kind of wish the kenos had some limited artificial intelligence rather than being just a remote control device, might have made things more interesting (such as them randomly watching crew members instead of Eli being presented a bit pervy). Huntster (t @ c) 23:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback

You may remember that back in January we talked about the possibility of enabling AFT for Commons images. I've finally written up an RFC on enabling it - would you mind taking a look before I make it public and start inviting comments? The draft proposal is at User:Andrew Gray/feedback. Thanks, Andrew Gray (talk) 11:51, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Now moved to a formal RFC: Commons:Requests for Comment/Feedback. Thanks! Andrew Gray (talk) 20:03, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey there; I saw your edit on my watchlist. Just a brief explanation – it's generally accepted on most WPs that the filled-in black version should be used in favour of other versions of the file; hence, I'm trying to standardize usage across all wikis so that these files (note the comment I made, "please redirect file to aforementioned one after deletion") can be used even when the original file does not exist. I'm not sure if I'm being clear here...I'm getting rather tired (it's nearly 10:00 pm, geez, I should go sleep!) though I'll clarify if needed. Thanks. :) HF (talk) 01:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Stay on target.gif

Hi Huntster, there are some exceptions to the rule, we have a few or should I say, we had a few and still do have a few, videos of Soyuz launches on commons from which I had chosen to make the image File:Stay on target.gif. When my connection is a bit better and/or I'm on the right machine to look for the actual video and look at it's name I can add it, but there are so few videos on commons like that from the period you may well spot it first, I think it is one of the first two of these. Penyulap 22:03, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Pen, I'm not sure what you mean by exceptions to the rule. If we have videos of Russian launches created by a NASA TV crew, those are fine. But the docking video is straight from the Soyuz spacecraft, which is Russian-owned, and thus Russian-copyrighted.
Now, specifically regarding the above videos, the first two are not acceptable since at the very least the in-cockpit video is Russian, not NASA (and given the video itself, I suspect the entire thing is Russian which was rebroadcast by NASA). I'm going to nominate those two for deletion, but not speedy. The third video, on the other hand, very much looks like a NASA TV videographer's work, especially since there is no in-cockpit video, so I would consider it okay. Huntster (t @ c) 22:16, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

I've included those in the request, so they can be examined as well, I don't think there is a need for separate DR's, as the same person can do all of them. I haven't looked at the third, feel free to strike or delete the text of my comment on the DR, I trust what you say there.

Hmm, such a shame about the whole project, there were such high hopes in so many ways, the people who wanted to help with the technical stuff, and my drawings and all, and the project is basically stuffed. Meh what can you do, it is so much easier to build a new site. Penyulap 23:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

ELT Search.jpg

Thanks for marking my photo for deletion, as I didn't know that type of license was prohibited. I'm rather new to wikipedia and the commons, and I was wondering if it would be permissible to upload this photo on wikipedia instead of the commons. I uploaded it because the original image of the cadets with an L-Per was taken down, leaving a broken link on the Civil Air Patrol page. After reading through the policy for wikipedia, I'm not sure whether this would constitute fair-use. Br100x (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Category question

Hi Huntster.

As you likely know, I'm a newbie at doing much on Wikimedia. So rather than do something silly, would prefer to ask for some guidance.

With the SpaceX en:Falcon 9 v1.1 so very different from the en:Falcon 9 v1.0, I think it might make sense to create a Wikimedia files category for each, and make them each a subcat of the current/existing Falcon 9 cat on WIkimedia. Then, the F9 Flight 1–F9 Flight 5 cats, would ostensibly go under the v1.0 cat, while F9 Flight 6 would go under the v1.1 cat. Pros? Cons? What do you think? N2e (talk) 10:01, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
