[edit] Permission for file

Hey, got a question. You uploaded an image of the Bizzell Library a while ago (Image:Lightning over Bizzell Library.jpg). In the image description, it said you received an email from the photographer saying he released it under the GFDL. You wouldn't happen to still have that email would you? If so, I think it would be beneficial if you forwarded it to the OTRS group so we have it documented. I'd like to get the OU article featured and I could see that being an issue. Thanks.Nmajdan 02:40, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Zoloft bottles.jpg

Hey there. I noticed this image in the Sertraline article over on WP, and thought it was a little on the dark side. I did a bit of levels adjustment and uploaded a new version; do you mind if we use this one in the article? I won't mind if you prefer the earlier version—photo editing is pretty much beyond my expertise, so I'll defer to you on that one :) Best, Fvasconcellos 20:46, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I guess I'll upload over the original, and you can delete the new version—I didn't know you were an admin here. Best, Fvasconcellos 21:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

You left a note for me a while back about bonsai. Sorry it took me so long to respond but I haven't logged into commons in a while. Regardless, I do keep my bonsai outside. Thanks though! --ShakataGaNai 18:22, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flickr Review

Thanks for taking a closer look at this photo. I exchanged a few emails with the owner and I think I confused him about the whole OTRS thing, and he tried to release the GDFL through the comment section . So, thanks for taking a second look at that release. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to look at this other photo in the same situation from the same photographer: Image:Barack and Michelle Obama, Bob Casey, Teresa Heinz at Rally.jpg. Thanks!--TheZachMorrisExperience 04:56, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. I would just like to thank you for all of your pictures from the National Bonsai and Penjing Museum. They are very helpful with the articles Deadwood Bonsai Techniques, and The National Bonsai Foundation that I have been writing on English Wikipedia.

[edit] Thanks

Ragesoss, so nice of you, thanks for restoring the Prince file. I could be wrong but seem to remember that the original of this skyline predates Flickrbot. It's fine with me if its derivation goes away. I sent some proposed text for Commons:FAQ which eventually might help avoid a few deletion requests. Thanks again and best wishes. -SusanLesch (talk) 02:29, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fast request from Photo Editor in Washington, DC

Hello Ragesoss,

Please forward your reply asap/immediately to Hollmarsh1@aol.com..

I found your photo at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:The_Great_Fire_of_London%2C_with_Ludgate_and_Old_St._Paul%27s.JPG while doing photo research for a textbook publisher on a project. I thought your image might be appropriate for inclusion in a literature curriculum.

I aI am specifically seeking to confirm the if you took the photograph yourself of the artwork, or if not, who the photographer is and how I might reach that party. I work for a publisher who wishes to possibly publish it within them within the curriculum.

I look forward to hearing from you as quickly as possible; the publisher is eager to finalize images to be used.

Thank you, Holly Marshall

I think this really, really deserves to be a featured picture, but the details taken from the image are much higher resolution. Would you be willing to re-upload the main image with the resolution from the details (possibly as an alternative)? Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:21, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:Rosalind Franklin.jpg

This is another Elliot & Fry image. I can find nothing stating that it has been released under a Creative Commons copyright licence. Whence did you obtain that information when you originally uploaded it to the English Wikipedia? Uncle G (talk) 17:12, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

• The image was uploaded to Wikipedia by the artists with the title File:Rosalind Franklin.jpg; since that title was in use already on Commons, it was moved to commons as File:RosalindFranklin.jpg and the WP version was deleted. In the deleted edits on en-wiki and the deleted edits on commons, you'll find where (despite some confusion about what it meant, at first) she/they added the CC license. You can see the exchange I had with the uploader, User:SionBrown, at w:User talk:SionBrown and w:User_talk:Ragesoss/Archive3#Rosalind_Franklin_new_portrait.--ragesoss (talk) 01:57, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
• By the way, I assume you don't mean Elliott & Fry, but what did you mean instead?--ragesoss (talk) 02:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Yes, I really did mean Elliott & Fry, which is (according to the NPG at any rate) the studio that took that photograph. Elliott & Fry certainly took some of the other photographs of Franklin. Even if the NPG is wrong, the image is not a work of the United States goverment. The United States government explicitly says so itself, saying that the image comes from the personal collection of Jenifer Glynn. Given that it was taken in 1956, it has certainly not yet entered into the public domain, whoever the photographer was. Uncle G (talk) 02:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Sorry, I was confused by the fact that there was another image (a painting) by the same name that I had dealt with, which has deleted revisions underneath the current file. I didn't upload that image from the the NIH website, Jacopo Werther did. It looks like that user just assumed that it was PD since it came from a government website. I have no reason to doubt the NPG if they say it's Elliott & Fry.--ragesoss (talk) 03:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
    • The photo you link to at NIH that says it's from Jenifer Glynn is not the same photo. A link to the NPG source?--ragesoss (talk) 04:03, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
    • I see two other Elliott and Fry photos on the NPG website, but not this one.--ragesoss (talk) 04:06, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
      • I hope you find a free source! (Just passing by. -SusanLesch (talk) 04:23, 15 July 2009 (UTC))
      • The NPG source is a deleted edit from the NPG's own IP address to the English Wikipedia's page for that file made in August 2005, that reads:

        The copyright in this image belongs to the National Portrait Gallery, London. The information in the copyright box below is incorrect, and the image has not been released into the public domain.

        There's also an edit by the NPG to w:en:Rosalind Franklin here.

        Whether or not the image here is the same one as was here in August 2005, I'm inclined to believe that this is true of all such images of Franklin. They all have not been released to the public domain, and are still under copyright. The NIH says that it is using its image because it is in Glynn's personal collection, but it doesn't know the rights holder or the copyright status. It's reasonably apparent that the Commons image is from the same photographer at the same time, even if the subject is in a slightly different pose. Since the Commons image also came from the NIH, it's not unreasonable to think that that, too, is from Glynn's personal collection, and the NIH doesn't know the rights holder or the copyright status. If it knew for the one, it would reasonably know for the other. Uncle G (talk) 14:14, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

        • I think you're right. It looks like the NPG was referring to one of the earlier images with that name; the images of Franklin on the NPG website by Elliott & Fry look to be a different photo session than the Glynn's collection one, so I don't think the NPG have any interest in the current image. But it still probably needs to be deleted.--ragesoss (talk) 17:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
        • The image on Commons at the time NPG made that edit was a crop of this: http://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/saction.php?search=ss&firstRun=true&sText=x76929 --ragesoss (talk) 17:48, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Commonist licenses

Dear Ragesoss,

As you might know Wikimedia is currently migrating from the GFDL to cc-by-sa-3.0. Wikimedia Commons is also migrating and we're down to less than 8000 files (started with about 1,8M files) . Unfortunatly this number keeps growing because Commonist contains outdated license templates. You appear to be running Commonist, could you please change the following lines in your license.txt?

{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}} should be changed to {{Self|GFDL|Cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0}}

{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|GFDL|cc-by-3.0}}

{{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}

Can I also fix the images you have already uploaded by adding {{cc-by-sa-3.0}}?

Thank you very much, Multichill (talk) 12:05, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Why can't or hasn't the Commonist source be updated or forked? I usually run it by clicking the webstart link, so I don't have a license.txt file available when I use it. I'll try to download it and use it that way, but the problem really needs to be fixed with Commonist itself rather than trying to continually track down users who are using it.--ragesoss (talk) 12:57, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Of course I contacted the author. If he doesn't respond I will fork it. I'm now notifying users to at least catch the most active users and fix recent uploads.

Back to my first question, can I fix the images you have already uploaded by adding {{cc-by-sa-3.0}}? Multichill (talk) 13:08, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes, of course you can fix the images I've uploaded already. I installed Commonist locally and changed the license.txt file for future uploads.--ragesoss (talk) 19:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, great. I changed your recent uploads. Multichill (talk) 11:24, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Incoming links

Hi. What did the data look like, that you started from? Did you have page names? The source tool you cite is broken. --Una Smith (talk) 22:42, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

When User:JaGa's script was working, the data was two columns pairing number of incoming links with number of articles that have that number of incoming links, excluding incoming link numbers with no corresponding articles. The graph was based on just truncating the data to the first 50 data pairs; there were (according to my spreadsheet, which is a bit cryptic) over 4600 data pairs. JaGa also created a separate script that listed the articles (maybe 100 or 1000 of them) with the most incoming links. I don't have a copy of that.--ragesoss (talk) 01:31, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Enquiry

Dear Ragesoss,

I am emailing from a documentary company in England called Parthenon Entertainment and we would love to use the following image within our documentary series entitled Mystery Files.

We were wondering if you own the copyright to this image as we would like to use it within our documentary for the rights for worldwide, all media and for perpetuity.

If you can email me at: ellie.davis@parthenonentertainment.com or call me on 01923 286 886 that would be great!

Many thanks,
