Toestemming afbeeldingen

Hallo Multichill,

ik heb op 13 januari de mail met toestemming van het Judy Thommesen (Mises Institute) doorgestuurd naar permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, zoals je op http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dirk74 had gevraagd. Ik had dat al eens eerder gedaan, maar toch is er een afbeelding verwijderd, die bij http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Bretton_Woods_to_World_Inflation hoorde. Groet, http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overleg_gebruiker:Dirk74

Deletion of "dudeism"

Hello Multichill, I am a newbe and created a term "dudeism" which is a religion. "SemperBlotto", I feel, did not properly research it and his "own opinion" deleted it for the reason of that it was "stupid". After I creating it, I tried to capitalize it but couldn't. So in way I'm glat that is deleted so I can start over. Dudeism is real. Check out the movie "Big Lebowski" with Jeff Bridges as the "The Dude". A religion was formed in America back in 2005 and has over 80,000 members. It fact the term "Dudeism" is on Wikipedia. I checked out SemperBlotto's page and it seems he has done this before. In his bio, he seems like he is a cool Dude himself but after this, I'm not sure. I hope you are a Dude and with the name Multichill, I'm sure:) Please check out the situation so I continue to contribute. Thank You. User: urbanhistorian/Julius George, Easton, Maryland,U.S.A.

1932 Raleigh onbekend

I am restoring a 1932 Raleigh. I see you posted a picture of one. I am in bad need of a repair manual of some kind. Do you have one or know where I can obtain one?

Sincerely,

further images of Earlham, St. Mary's Church?

I was wondering if you had any further images of the interior of Earlham, St. Mary's Church. I am trying to get an image of a Waller family memorial that exists near the altar. The image would have a shield like:

If you can help out, please send me a note at thom.waller@sympatico.ca

A Night in the Circus

I am contacting you with a question in regards to the image under circus posters, the girl with yellow skirt sitting on the horse. Can I use this image for a mural? I am being paid to create the mural? I am using it with other older poster designs? Thank you.

Old maps

Pastmapper (http://www.pastmapper.com/) might be a good thing to consider adding to your list of projects that use old maps. It just launched last week, and features old maps redrawn to match current-day Google Maps. Right now it features San Francisco in 1853, but it's expanding soon.

GSoC: Categorising images using OpenCv

Hi, I am Vivek from India, interested in the idea of categorising images with OpenCv. I have done a project involving OpenCv in which I was detecting a ball and moving my robot to catch the ball. I am working with MediaWiki from past two months. I have good amount of understanding of MW projects. I would love to work on this project this summer. Thus I wanted to discuss this idea with you and decide the course of action.

Could you please tell me when will you be available in IRC?I am on #mediawiki and my IRC name is potter

Thanks a lot

Hoi Multichill, hier ging iets niet goed [1]. Misschien kan je er even naar kijken en ook naar andere bewerkingen rond dat tijdstip. Rudolphous (talk) 19:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Er zal wel iets met {{RCE-subject}} mis zijn geweest rond die tijd. Ik kan er zo 123 niet meer vinden. Ik zie dat je deze al hebt teruggedraaid, heb je dat ook gedaan met de rest? Multichill (talk) 09:41, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Template:Nationaal Archief-license

Hi Multichill. Rd232 complained about Template:Nationaal Archief-license as it still hasn't got an OTRS template after a few years & therefore still has the {{OTRS pending}} tag on it - could you please check whether the permission was received & if so, could you add the ticket number to it? If not, we should think about another solution ... Trijnstel_talk 10:19, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

undo restore Nederland_wapen.svg

Het viel me op dat u de de file http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nederland_wapen.svg en Nederland wapen 2.svg hebt gerestored, nadat deze eerst was gedelete. Het tweede bestand is een tekening van het Nederlands wapen die niet vrij is van rechten. Het origineel is een tekening van heraldisch tekenaar Piet Bultsma. het eerste bestand is een extractie van dit wapen. Er is een ander ontwerp van het Nederlands wapen beschikbaar die wel vrij is van rechten. Deze is reeds opgenomen in wikimedia commons. Wederom daarom het verzoek beide bestanden te deleten.

Marijke79 (talk) 14:49, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Beste Marijke, dat wapen is getekend door User:Arch dus nee, ik ga het niet verwijderen. Multichill (talk) 17:44, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Beste Multichill, User arch geeft aan welke bron hij heeft gebruikt met een link naar de bron. De bron is het wapen welke is geschilderde door Piet Bultsma en waar ngw.nl toestemming heeft om te gebruiken op haar website. Het is echter niet vrij van rechten. User Arch heeft dubbel inbreuk op het beeldrecht van Piet Bultsma. Hij heeft niet alleen zonder toestemming diens wapen gebruikt om er een vector bestand van te maken, maar er ook nog slechts een deel van gebruikt (alleen het wapen zelf en niet de mantel).

Marijke79 (talk) 10:22, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Het nederlands wapen is door de hoge raad van de adel beschreven hoe het eruit moet zien. Als je dat wapen tekent is het uiteraard de bedoeling dat het daaraan voldoet. Dan is er dus geen sprake van orginaliteit vanuit de maker, juist omdat het wel een Nederlands Wapen moet zijn. Omdat orginaliteit een eis is om beeldrecht (copyright) te claimen, is dat hier niet te claimen.

Akoopal (talk) 23:47, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Het wapen van het koninkrijk der Nederlanden en Koningen der Nederlanden is vastgesteld bij Koninklijk Besluit van 23 april 1980,nr. 3, Stb. 206. Dit K.B. vervangt de K.B.’s van 1907 en 1909. Bij het K.B. van 1907 is een afbeelding van het wapen gevoegd dat vrij is van rechten. (zoals eerder genoemd en ook op wikipedia te vinden is). Alle andere uitvoeringen zijn een artistieke interpretatie van de tekst van het K.B. Wanneer de gemaakte afbeelding overeen komt met de tekst van het K.B. is het een correcte afbeelding van het wapen, maar de artistieke uitvoering is altijd belast met het intellectueel eigendom van de maker. Stichting Pictoright (voorheen Beeldrecht) heeft al meermaals de belangen van de maker behartigd wegens onrechtmatig gebruik van dit wapen. Wanneer u nog niet overtuigd ben, stel ik voor dat u contact opneemt met de hoge Raad van Adel te Den Haag.

Geograph bot and dates

Hello, I have been going and trying to make it more clear on the talk pages of files what is meant by the date. For photographs all too often the date is not related to the depicted object, but rather {{taken on}} date. Geograph bot uploads a lot of photos and vast majority of them are of architectural works, which have their own date of creation. If it is not too hard, could you change the default behaviour and put the date in the {{taken on}} template. Sinnamon (talk) 18:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

New here? I noticed this edit. The date in the information template is always for when the work was taken, see the documentation. You shouldn't be adding this {{taken on}} template. Multichill (talk) 20:36, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for replying, I will for now not add the template to other works, but I do think that it should be used. It will help to create a better description where the person can learn the date of the photograph, the date of the work (architectural or other) depicted on the photograph, and any other dates. I'm unsure how to get a wider opinion on what I am saying, could you please point me in the right direction? Sinnamon (talk) 05:41, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Question about botmultichill

Hi Multichill In Categorie:Huis Asch van Wijck I encountered "geen interlink-wiki" put in by you in 2009. Does this signify that links from pages that are not NL will be blocked? I ask because I wanted to link C.C. van Asch van Wijck which is in English. I am aware that there is a strong protective streak of the Dutch Wiki and I don't want to start an editing war by forcing a link. If you prefer to write in Dutch, I can read most of it. Van Aldenhaag (talk) 02:09, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

You mean at nl:Categorie:Huis Asch van Wijck? That's just to track categories that don't have an interwiki link yet. If you have one, please add it and remove the template! Multichill (talk) 12:39, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Hal Chase, first baseman, New York Highlanders, ca. 1910.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Hal Chase, first baseman, New York Highlanders, ca. 1910.jpg. 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 OTRS 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 speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. (You can get a list of all your uploaded files using the Gallery tool.)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Sjors1.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Sjors1.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Sjors1.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hallo Multichill,

Je zette op 23 januari jl een foto van een poppenhuis op de Commons: File:Overzicht van poppenhuis uit de collectie van het Centraal Museum - Utrecht - 20415950 - RCE.jpg Dit is niet het poppenhuis van Petronella de la Court in het Centraal Museum in Utrecht, zoals er nu bij vermeld staat. Het gaat hier om het poppenhuis van Sara Rothé (1743) in het Frans Halsmuseum te Haarlem. De Rijksdienst voor Cultureel erfgoed heeft inmiddels de foutieve gegevens aangepast: http://beeldbank.cultureelerfgoed.nl/20415950 Jammer, dat de Wikipediagegevens niet meer kloppen!

"Commonscat tool" reports an error

Hello Multichill,

I tried to use "Commonscat tool" at http://toolserver.org/~multichill/commonscat.php. It reports an error: "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)". Cheers, Hasenläufer (talk) 23:34, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Botje

Hi, are you by any chance working on _something_similar ? --Foroa (talk) 13:39, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Commonscat.py already implements this, but I'm afraid Wikidata broke/limited that bot. Multichill (talk) 21:43, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Should be able to work without Wikidata. By the way, how is Wikidata linked to the articles, I could not find any link. --Foroa (talk) 15:39, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

I've been working on getting Commonscat links to Commons and updating these for quite some time. I even kept some statistics. This is a lot of duplicate bot work in different languages

Now that Wikidata is going live I created a property to store the link. See for example d:Q569101. If you use the property syntax on one of the linked articles you can get the link to Commons. If a category gets changed, we have a central location to keep track of that. Multichill (talk) 14:56, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Great, this mean that the continuous whining about category redirects should lower to a less hysterical level. I still don't get it how the article links to d:Qxxxx . --Foroa (talk) 15:31, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

It's all at Wikidata, see for example d:Q1144392. At the bottom there is a list of links including nl:Kleine parelmoervlinder. You can add, change or remove links to articles there. Multichill (talk) 16:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

For the commonscat, as far as I understand you later have to do an explicit call. For the interwiki's however, lets take Multichill's example, on wikidata you lookup the object that has as nl-link 'Kleine parelmoervlinder', that way you find the correct object and you can lookup all the other interwiki's. Akoopal (talk) 17:53, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Question is: how to get from a wikipedia item quickly in the related d:Qxxx ? Searching in Wikidata is not always very efficient. --Foroa (talk) 10:26, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

It doesn't seems to be possible to connect to Commons galleries, the most natural connection ? --Foroa (talk) 11:13, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

To find it from a wikipedia, simply click on the 'edit links' (koppelingen bewerken) in the left column under the interwiki's. Akoopal (talk) 07:58, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Commons-Wikipedia synchronization

Hi Multichill, I have some questions regarding Commons-Wikipedia synchronization:

• I see that you have the page User:Multichill/Commonscat stats - does any bot use this page (or other) to update Wikipedia links to commons when some page get moved here? If so, I would like to point that hewiki uses {{he:תבנית:מיזמים}} (parameter: ויקישיתוף)+{{he:תבנית:ויקישיתוף בשורה}} (parameter: 1) and not Commonscat.
• In Wikidata d:Property_talk:P373 (Commons category property), you wrote "If a category at Commons gets deleted and/or renamed, Wikidata should be updated" - who/how handles it? (is there a bot for it?)

thanks, ערן (talk) 07:27, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

collapse removal

The collapse had been put (not by me) around the Penyulap-thread to make COM:AN/U again manageable, not at all "stupid". The "trolling discussion" was nevertheless going on, so the collapse didn't hinder any dedicated commenters, but it produced a clearer surface. Your removal has put COM:AN/U again in the prior unpleasant state. Similar as Bidgee, who had stated this earlier, I refuse to work on COM:AN/U under such conditions. --Túrelio (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

New PD-template for mass-uploading?

Hi, We are a bit lost in PD-templates for the GLAMTools project. As there are so many with many customization option it is difficult to figure out what would work in our workflow. We now have the idea of creating a new PD template that basically states: "Institution 'x' has indicated that this is in the Public Domain in their own country and in the United States". Is that something that Commons would accepts as a good template? If not, how does your normal workflow looks like when selecting a template for mass uploading? Best, --Martsniez (talk) 16:04, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

(chiming in)

Hi Maarten. I thought that for “old stuff”, the general {{PD-old-100-1923}} or {{PD-old-auto-1923|deathyear=1920}} cover most of the use cases. Isn’t it so?

Jean-Fred (talk) 17:23, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, but in most cases the metadata won't contain the death year of the creator so the auto version of the template is not applicable. There could also be cases where the material is between 1923 and 1943 and public domain in most countries with 70 years. We would like to have a one template that we could use here. Or have a rationale when to choose which one. Is {{PD-old-100-1923}} good enough for that? --Martsniez (talk) 13:12, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

How to use flickrripper?

I like to help with flickr imports and try flickrripper. I follow the [2] and install PIL and flickrapi. Now (on a headless maschine without X) I try python2.7 flickrripper.py -help and got

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "flickrripper.py", line 41, in <module>
    from Tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named Tkinter

How to fix this error? I miss some information too. Howto use flickrripper in a batch job on a headless maschine? Can you give me some example howto import a set, remove the suggested categories and add a single one (as batch job). Thank you. --Slick (talk) 16:56, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

You can run in autonomous mode (without user interaction). For example:

python flickrripper.py -photoset_id:72157633267540270 -addcategory:"GLAM-WIKI: UK 2013" -removecategories -autonomous

This was the command I used at the Toolserver to fill up Category:GLAM-WIKI: UK 2013. Multichill (talk) 20:49, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "flickrripper.py", line 41, in <module>
    from Tkinter import *
ImportError: No module named Tkinter

I found the solution. I using Gentoo and there you have to use the useflag tk on python [3]. Instead of installing PIL by Hand, you should use dev-python/imaging (with useflag tk too). Only install flickrapi by hand is necessary yet. --Slick (talk) 13:53, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

RCE-templates with categories included

Hello, Multichill: The batch upload RCE-files is not a good job, much pictures without encyclopedic value, making me loose interest. Besides of that, there are also failures in the categorising system, like these:

• Including categories in templates gives problems fot those categories: hotcat, cat-a-lot and redirect-moves doesn't work. It's aweful for RCE-subject categories; see e.g. Category:Flèche in the Netherlands redirect-move to Category:Spires in the Netherlands fails.
• Categories from RCE-subject sugggestions should be in plural. I asked for moves for several categories in Category:Farmhouses in the Netherlands by type.

Category:Monumentos Nacionais in Madeira and others

Hey Multichill, I don't know what was this weird "reconstruction of category tree" or whatever in the National Monuments of Portugal, but they do need to be organized by district or region. It's illogical and against the category system to have them loose in the "cultural heritage buildings" categories of each district and region. Last October changes were absolutely horrendous, if there is some technical issue with it, it should have been resolved without destroying the district and region classification. Can you please use your bot to reverse those changes? --- Darwin ^Ahoy! 02:00, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

I've been looking at the UK cultural heritage monument listings here at Commons, maybe we could simplify the Portuguese classification by using the acronyms in Template:SIPA and others (MN, IIP, etc), which would eliminate the need for a "translation". It should become "Listed buildings grade MN in Lisbon" or rather "Buildings classified MN in Lisbon", or some other similar formula that could be easily perceived by Portuguese and foreigners. I don't know if there is any need at all for a complete list of each kind of monument (the British do not seem to have them). In any case, the regional categories need to be revived, it's a Babylon now on the Portuguese national monuments. What do you think, could we adapt the British system? --- Darwin ^Ahoy! 02:24, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Multichill, using the British cultural heritage listings as a model, and adapting it to the Portuguese situation using this guide, I'm building a new, much cleaner and easier system of classification for the Portuguese cultural heritage monuments. You can see how it looks like here - Category:Classified buildings in Madeira. Maybe some further adaptations or corrections would be necessary, but in this system they can be smoothly executed by a bot. I understand that the former classification system posed many problems during Wiki Loves Monuments, I hope it will be resolved this way. If you believe something is not good, or could be further improved, mainly relating to your bots, please tell me.--- Darwin ^Ahoy! 15:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Darwin, I remeber these monuments giving me an headache. I'll have to digest this and I'll get back to you. Multichill (talk) 13:23, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey Multichill, I'm trying to organize that tree in a way that there is a single category over all classified monuments, and containing only classified monuments with known IDs, which, as I understand, are the target of contests like Wiki Loves Monuments. I hope that this will simplify the life for the bot procedures, and smooth future participations of Portugal in those contests. If you could recall it, please tell me what caused the problems last time, so that it can be fixed.--- Darwin ^Ahoy! 13:56, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Please show me how I messed up this template. I don't think I did.

Not all pages in Category:Language templates with no text displayed have severe problems, but some definitively do. See e.g. Special:Permalink/28178560 or Special:Permalink/24951271 for problems with a “=”, or Special:Permalink/42105123 or Special:Permalink/72387078 for problems with the description texts outside the language templates. To find such highly problematic cases, the maintenance category needs to be cleaned out. This task has already been completed for nl and de.

Please help in this effort by modifying “your” templates and maybe also by fixing your bot uploads. --Leyo 22:11, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

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 OTRS 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 speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. (You can get a list of all your uploaded files using the Gallery tool.) Thank you.

The name calling you're doing recently

I mentioned it at AN, like, to see if that sort of thing is REALLY necessary. Penyulap ☏ 10:09, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Blocked for 3 days. Don't try to play your trolling games with me. Multichill (talk) 21:41, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

My guess is as good as yours. This isn't the first time Maarten has gone on a trigger happy, incompetence-ridden rampage. -FASTILY 20:41, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Fastily, what about to bury the hatchet with Maarten? It isn't nice seeing 2 of our most active helpers lacerating each other. -- Rillke^(q?) 20:59, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Spiegelbeeld?

Hallo collega! Volgens mij is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gedeelte_achtergevel_-_Leeuwarden_-_20132486_-_RCE.jpg in spiegelbeeld afgedrukt. Als ik naar andere foto's kijk van hetzelfde pand (verzameld in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Homes_of_Mata_Hari) kan ik deze ene namelijk niet plaatsen. Of is het een heel ander gebouw? --Judithcomm (talk) 15:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
