There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Hello, Sadads!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Hi! I created the Commons:WikiProject Dacia as a sister project to WP:DACIA English and WP:DACIA română to better organize, categorize and improve the quality of media and galleries related to ancient Dacia. From your contributions, I think you might be interested and maybe you wish to join and support the project. Your input is welcomed! Thanks and best regards!

... and happy holidays! --Codrin.B (talk) 23:06, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:1795-William-Blake-Naomi-entreating-Ruth-Orpah.jpg[edit]

Your image has a radically different color balance, and a limited range of variation, giving it a somewhat murky appearance. It could be true that your upload is much more accurate for purposes of art-historical documentation, but mine might still be more immediately practically useful in Wikipedia articles on topics such as the book of Ruth. You should upload the new version as a different file under a new name, so that people could easily make a choice between the two according to personal preference, or the purposes for which they are using the image. Thanks. Churchh (talk) 01:17, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Year 2013 R1 Announcement[edit]

Picture of the Year 2013 R2 Announcement[edit]

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open![edit]

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Code issues in User:Sadads/common.js[edit]

Hi Sadads, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

  1. You edited User:Sadads/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
  2. Though, that change appears to introduce 3 new jshint issues — the page's status is now having ERRORS. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
  3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

Galveston?[edit]

This seems wrong to me. The description specifically says it is not the Galveston Hurricane. - Jmabel ! talk 16:00, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel: It was in the category: if it doesn't belong the category or is questionable we should be highlighting that in the data model (either a qualifier or some other data model). If you had doubts about it, we should be surfacing it somehow for the organization of content on commons. Sadads (talk) 13:16, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's in the category, but not on an is-a basis. It's someone's (contemporary) faked image of the Galveston flood. - Jmabel ! talk 15:13, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a billboard here. What am I missing? - Jmabel ! talk 22:57, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel: I see several billboards in there, and it was in the category: Category:Roof billboards in Japan -- I am not sure if I would call those roof billboards. So if you find it wrong, lets clear that up, Sadads (talk) 13:19, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I took the photo, but I didn't put it in that category. To me, at least, not every advertisement in public space is a "billboard". I see ads that are at the top of buildings, but I wouldn't call lettering at the top of a building a "billboard", would you? Seems to me that (1) lettering directly on the building itself is not a billboard and (2) I'd be a bit hesitant to call something circular a billboard. - Jmabel ! talk 15:16, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel: Okay! So I am totally in support of remodeling that! I have re-edited the category and the structured data.Sadads (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yeah, I don't look at every time a person slaps a category on my photos, but I do tend to keep track of any assertion about what it depicts. - Jmabel ! talk 15:30, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel: Yeah, I think the advantage of SDC vs Categories there is not a tendency to proliferate variants and intersection, but rather to add individual discrete things. Totally looking forward to you remodeling stuff: part of my approach right now with adding SDC is working with categories that have fairly straight forward modeling in order to encourage these kinds of subsequent enrichments. Sadads (talk) 15:33, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The particularly tricky thing is that not every valid membership in a category is an is-a relationship, and depicts requires is-a. For example, a picture of a person's home might be in the category for that person, as might the picture of the spouse of a much more famous person. - Jmabel ! talk 15:44, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For sure, I am being picky about the categories I use: for the most part I am not touching categories of creators, and on locations I am having to do a bit more modeling. Luckily we have other properties, and Help:Gadget-ACDC lets you model some of that complexity from the beginning of the activity. Sadads (talk) 15:49, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured data additions about objects with Wikidata item[edit]

Hi, I've seen you've added[2][3] depicts (P180) statements to objects with Wikidata items. I think current opinion is they shouldn't be added to the Commons files, but to Wikidata items (where they already are in other form for those two cases). Cheers, --Marsupium (talk) 11:06, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Marsupium: Yes that is probably the case in the long run -- however, until depicts of depicts for search, and we set up workflows for checking these (i.e. bots and other) -- I am focusing on trying to get at least some structured data on each file based on the logic of the categories that the files are living in. There probably needs to be some cleanup on those categories if this is the case, Sadads (talk) 12:59, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Property[edit]

Hello! Nice idea: [4]. But now it's twice. Already repaired. Please respect next already existing properties. Thank you. --XRay talk 09:49, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@XRay: Good catch -- on Wikidata that is the kind of thing that would be caught by a bot or workflow for redundancy -- unfortunately Quick Statements isn't quite set up for that kind of duplicate checking. We, as a community, are going to figure out how to facilitate those kinds of things, Sadads (talk) 23:47, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
May be it's a mistake. I've seen the problem first programming my bot for these statements. IMO it shouldn't be possible to set the same statement twice via API (programming interface). --XRay talk 05:15, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@XRay: so you do need to be able to repeat a statement, but in all the cases I can think of (i.e. 2 bicycles, one blue, one red, or regions on a photograph) the redundant statements needs a qualifier. I wonder if it would makes sense for @Magnus Manske: to put some kind of "only if adding qualifiers" thing into the quickstatements checks or if this is something we should file on Phabricator. Sadads (talk) 12:42, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bald Eagle[edit]

Why are you tagging every image of a person with "bald eagle" that has a passport photo. I think you believe every passport photo of a person, is an image of the cover of a passport book. Can you please revert. Even if it was 100 images of US passport covers, why would we need to tag them all as depictions of bald eagles? One would suffice. RAN (talk) 13:31, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): Can you share an example? There must have been a poor categorization tree somewhere, that I captured with the logic for that. I can do a partial fix of the set -- I have been getting several Thanks for many of the images that I have updated -- so it was mostly right. Sadads (talk) 14:03, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I probably added every image in that category, so I got the changes on my watchlist. When I look at your batch log I see the proper ones. So, yes, your bot went rogue! Now I know why the Mandelorian hates robots. RAN (talk) 14:28, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): Not a bot, actually an error in the logic of the categories -- so human error resulting in something like 200 problems on my part in evaluating the category tree. I tried to remove just that property, but QuickStatements is giving me an error. I lodged a bug with Magnus, see if it gets fixed -- I will keep it on the list of manual errors that I need to go back and fix/enrich. Sadads (talk) 14:41, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Are we any closer to automating the reversal of the bald_eagle additions or do they have to be reversed by hand? RAN (talk) 02:55, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please review the image and attempt to correct this issue by uploading a new version of the file. TheSandBot will re-review this image again in 7 days. If it is still corrupt at that time, then the file may be nominated for deletion. This is most likely to happen when a substantial portion of the image is corrupt. Thank you,

Thanks for your changes[edit]

Hello Sadas, I thouth you were vandalizing me. I'm so sorry Pacopac (talk) 15:29, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pacopac: no worries! Commons:Structured data is new to a lot of people, and is going to take some getting used to -- I was doing some bulk cleanup last night, so it affected a lot of files -- I figure any reaction or interaction is good for improving the overall practice of strucutured data. Sadads (talk) 17:24, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please ...[edit]

... A small request: Do not remove items per batch if a qualifier is set. Thank you. --XRay talk 06:49, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Xray: I have been batch removing poor additions from Commons:Computer-aided tagging: restaurant and building are redundant, and most new users are adding both, without any regard for the specificity recommendations from Commons:Depicts. The over application of "building" makes that set kindof useless, especially as we want to create more and more specific data models, Sadads (talk) 13:15, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
First: Ping will work, if it is "XRay" - with capital "R". Second: Your batch removed manual added tags too. :-( For me it isn't a problem, my bot will add the tags (items) again. I'd adjusted my rule set respecting your batch edits, so hopefully useless items are not added again. (And I added yesterday a blacklist to my bot based on the blacklist of the computer-aided tagging.) --XRay talk 15:20, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you remove tags like this? --AntanO 02:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AntanO: Architecture is a theoretical concept (its both the study and product per architecture (Q12271). Its logically impossible to have something that depicts (P180) architecture. This is one of the concepts identified by those of us who are reviewing the edits of the Commons:Computer-aided tagging via the Commons_talk:Structured_data/Computer-aided_tagging/Blacklist as not a good "machine" addition to the wiki: because it is added to everything, without regard for if there are already more specific depicts statements that have been added per Commons:Depicts. Remember, depicts statements are supposed to be the most "specific" description of what is represented: not every possible concept that could be represented in the image. If you want to represent themes or concepts, we need to explore using other properties, Sadads (talk) 12:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You have reverted Reptilia on a particular lizard. Do you say Reptilia is a theoretical concept? BTW, revert is not a good practice if you are familiar this term in en.wiki. --AntanO 15:00, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AntanO: its supposed to be as specific as possible: you already had a link to the species: no need for anything else in the taxo-hierarchy -- and I don't understand why undoing wouldn't be a good practice. Sadads (talk) 17:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Batch #28675[edit]

In this batch, the cases of the items I had upload [5], should be reversed. The removal of the statements is not correct. Thank you. GualdimG (talk) 05:27, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GualdimG: Can you point at a specific item? art of sculpture (Q11634) shouldn't be used on any items, because its the theoretical concept of "sculpture" the art, not the object (which is sculpture (Q860861)). Remember, Commons:Depicts should only be applied to the most specific, concrete things on items -- therefore many of your recent contributions via Commons:Computer-aided tagging add an excessive amount of tags, some of which we are adding to the blacklist for that tool because they are getting added by users of the tool redundantly. Sadads (talk) 12:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, seems diferent from Wikidata, where "depicts/retrata" as a broader meaning. So, each image, normally, should be tagged with only one tag, the most specific meaning. Can you withdraw myself from the Commons:Computer-aided tagging, because I am not interest on? Thank you. Greetings, GualdimG (talk) 09:37, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GualdimG: I am very confused by your statement, because that is not how depicts (P180) is supposed to be used on Wikidata. It is supposed to be specific as well. The property for broad topics or themes is main subject (P921). If you want to remove the tool, it appears there is something in the preferences you can turn off, Sadads (talk) 13:21, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Multichill: I think that is precicely the oposite, the main subject (P921) should be only for one thing, by definition, and depicts (P180) should report to a very wide quantity things. Consider analyse the description of the properties and act (reverse) in accordance. See, for instance, The Last Supper (Q128910). Greetings, GualdimG (talk) 18:04, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GualdimG: The example you give appears to be in line with my recommendation: each and every distinct item in the painting has one and only one depicts (P180). I am still not sure where our interpretation is different, Sadads (talk) 20:39, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, in this example (and should be thousands, in line with the description of the properties), the depicts (P180) has 26 values, and the main subject (P921) has only one value. Please, re-analyse what you are doing! GualdimG (talk) 22:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mike Peel: Would you clarify this question? Thank you. GualdimG (talk) 04:34, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GualdimG: I think Sadads is right. depicts (P180) = The Last Supper (Q128910) is all we need to say here, the rest can be pulled in from Wikidata. Think along the lines of Commons categories: we put the files in the most specific categories we can (and if we have a specific category for an artwork, it goes in that category only): depicts should work the same way. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 06:48, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Peel: , thanks! But, ....OMG! At the Wikidata´s The Last Supper (Q128910) item the depicts (P180) statement has 26 values! the main subject (P921) has only one value! What Sadads had said previously was that "is not how depicts (P180) is supposed to be used on Wikidata. It is supposed to be specific as well." Having 26 values is not being specific. And this discussion had begginned because Sadads had removed the depicts qualification of "Statue" of File:Biblioteca Municipal Fernando Piteira Santos 02.jpg (and in other files likewise with Batch #28675), because, he says, "Commons:Depicts should only be applied to the most specific, concrete things on items". Could be like this at Commons, but is quite different in Wikidata´s Depicts. But, at the description of the Commons´ Depicts, is said that "If there are multiple items clearly and deliberately depicted by the media file, all should be added as separate depicts statements, within reason. For files that depict dozens or hundreds of items (e.g., movies) only list those items which are most prominent". So.....And if it was intended that only the most specific meaning of the file could be labelled, than the name of the Commons´s "Depicts" qualification should be changed to "Main subject", in accordance with Wikidata. To avoid confusion. Cheers, GualdimG (talk) 08:32, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GualdimG: Ah! Thank you for the specific example. So I think where we were misunderstanding eachother was that I removed art of sculpture (Q11634) and Quick Statements was supposed to readd sculpture (Q860861) -- however it seemed to have failed to do that on this particular item. art of sculpture (Q11634) is a field of work -- so should have never been allowed in the Commons:Computer aided tagging tool -- it appears that the tool wasn't properly mapped to our concepts. I have gone into that specific item and remodeled it how I would do it: File:Biblioteca Municipal Fernando Piteira Santos 02.jpg. In the case of the sculpture, I would try to be even more specific and create a Wikidata item for the sculpture (which I haven't done) Sorry for the slow reply, and I think, misunderstanding.

Depicts "Sculpture" when "Bronze sculpture" is already listed?[edit]

Hello, Sadads.

You've modified the structured data for this image to add "Sculpture" as non-prominent, even though it already lists "Bronze sculpture" as prominent.

The guidance on this page suggests that generic items should not be added where more specific items are already listed, so this change seems unnecessary. Is there a reason to double-up in this case? --Bobulous (talk) 18:47, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Bobulous: I was removing all of the art of sculpture (Q11634) items and replacing them with "sculpture" so that we could clean them up all in one place, without the confusing theoretical concept hanging out. But it appears that the query I was using through the search interface hadn't updated properly -- so because I had already removed "art of sculpture", it erroneously added sculpture as well. Thanks for pointing that out, Sadads (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Instance of panorama?[edit]

Hi Alex, I noticed this edit while going through the instance of usage. I would do instance of (P31) -> digital photograph (Q85431214) and genre (P136) -> panorama (Q41363). Multichill (talk) 10:00, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Multichill: -- ah, yes that wsa some of my early edits with AC/DC -- definitely agree with you on that modeling -- will run it through Petscan-> QS to fix -- of course there is a ton of other weird modelings like this being introduced by others and Commons:Computer-Aided Tagging -- will do some more cleanup along the way, Sadads (talk) 18:50, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, might be better to use photograph (Q125191). Multichill (talk) 18:56, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Multichill: Oops-- gotcha-- will fix. Sadads (talk) 18:58, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, my bad, I realized a limited number of instance of (P31) is probably easier and better in the long run. Multichill (talk) 19:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Batch #33257[edit]

Hello, why remove the qualification of Chapel of several chapels (capela in portuguese) with the batch #33257, as in [6]? Knowledge to @Multichill: . Cheers, GualdimG (talk) 21:49, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@GualdimG: I removed if it had both chapel (Q108325) which is a small place, when it also had church building (Q16970). The vast majority of these are redundant tags caused by computer aided tagging.... if it is a small church building as such it should be using only chapel (Q1953071) or church building (Q16970), if it is the interior of the building than it shouldn't be using chapel (Q108325) but rather that should be in another property, i.e. location of creation (P1071) and use something like depicts (P180) building interior (Q30062422). Sadads (talk) 21:56, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thank you. GualdimG (talk) 22:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't so simple. For example if you use church building (Q16970) with depicted part (P5961) and interior (Q2998430). See Batch #38815. It's not good to remove an item if there are qualifiers. --XRay talk 08:15, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

--ManfredK (talk) 22:21, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ManfredK: Because Commons:Depicts describes adding the most specific depicts statements, and architecture (Q12271) describes a field of work and it's product, not specific things that can be seen. If we want to describe it otherwise, the data should be modeled as something else, but the addition of architecture (Q12271) is something that we will be unable to find a shared definition across languages and cultures.

Nature vs _Nature_[edit]

Hi Sadads, I noticed that you removed Nature (Q180445) from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nature_citations_per_article,_2013-2015.jpg and have correctly removed it from other images that are of "nature" and not the journal, Nature. But, in this case this is an image "of" the journal Nature. Or, to be more precise, the journal's citation profile. So, what would be the correct use of Nature (Q180445) in Commons? Just currious, not complaining.

Jaireeodell (talk) 17:35, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You would have to model it more precisely: like "depicts citations analysis of _NATURE_" -- the only way you would depict Nature the journal would be have a physical copy of the journal, Sadads (talk) 20:37, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added Depicts P180 Mollusca[edit]

Hi Sadads, I saw you undid my adding of depicts (P180) Mollusca to the category Mollusca at Naturalis from the Zoölogisch Museum Amsterdam because there was already a more specified depicts, the exact species, but I thought it was to be known useful to add a more general depicts or P180 as well, because the species is a taxon, but maybe this isn't the case here, because Mollusca IS the higher taxon in these cases? Perhaps better to add Mollusc Shell (Q6445670)? Thanks for enlightening me, and sorry for inconvenience. Kind regards, AnnikaHendriksen (talk) 17:49, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AnnikaHendriksen it is not helpful to add 43,393 with the exact same depicts statements when it is already being covered by a much more specific depicts -- no one will ever look through that many files. Also the suggestion that it helps with search results is not consensus and is a misuse of structured data. The fact that they are generic "mollusca" is captured in other metadata as well, such as the descriptions, the collection title, etc -- adding those excessive, unspecific depicts statements makes the content unmaintable and generally unaccurate and impossible to maintain. Sadads (talk) 18:02, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Sadads, I'm very sorry if this is the case, it is not any way my goal to misuse structured data ofcourse. In this case it might indeed not be of any help to add this Q item in these cases, because it is a higher taxon of the exact species already added in structured data. Please accept my apologies. AnnikaHendriksen (talk) 18:15, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@AnnikaHendriksen no worries -- its not your problem, the documentation and support for the feature is really variable and not well implemented in community practices. I suggest only batch adding relatively specific depicts statements, because otherwise it could create a complex problem for others to address in the future.

Removing structured data[edit]

Dear user Sadads,

since two days you remove the claims from some of my pictures, like for example the photo Mein Schiff 4. In my humble opinion, not all deletions are correct. I kindly ask you, before you want to remove claims, to find a more suitable assignment for them. For the long exposure method, for example, I found the more appropriate property value P2079 yesterday. It has taken a lot of manual work in the past to find the classifications and mappings. So, with all honor to colleagues, please weigh carefully before removing claims! We look forward to continued good cooperation.

Best wishes :) -- Radomianin (talk) 05:34, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Radomianin unfortunately most of the examples that I was finding of that field being used on images was by newbie contributors doing overzealous use of Depicts. These abstract concepts being applied to images are not helpful. Most of the time I do try to fix it, but for example, the properties you most recently added are redundant with the properties already there -- i.e. have a location of Port Rostock automatically connects the item with Germany -> Europe -> Earth. You don't need those extra items, and actually the redudant data points makes it harder, not easier, to use the structured data. Similarly, by labeling the picture as depicting the specific ship, it automatically connects the image to Q1229765 -- watercraft. Please see depicts usage as documented at Commons:Depicts#What_items_not_to_add Sadads (talk) 06:13, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear user Sadads, thank you for your quick reply, as well as for your link and explanations which are very helpful. I will take your advice into account in future edits.

  • Hello @Sadads For all my, so far manageable number of photos, I have taken your suggestion to heart and left only the pure place of fabrication, respectively I have reduced everything to the most necessary. I understand now the redundancy of further specifications which are basically obsolete. So again I have learned something new, that is very important for my future contributions. Thus, thank you once again for your constructive, explanatory information. I ask for your understanding for my initial failure to fully get the context.

  • and most importantly, the quality of the recommandations provided.

This is why we are organizing an online workshop on Monday 12th of December, 16h-17h30 UTC+1 (on zoom). We will be very happy if you find the time to join us.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,

Hi Sadads, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Sepia photographs and hand-tinted photographs[edit]

In the 19th century, many photographs were developed using sepia, a brown-coloured cuttlefish ink. This was mainly used for portraits, because it gave a greater range of shading and softness than the alternative black and white images. Today, some of us tint black and white photography with sepia colour digitally, for the same reason. Both of those types of sepia results are not black and white. They are not black and white because they are a shade of brown. The shade of brown may be extremely subtle, because it just takes the edge of the harshness of black and white. So please do not classify sepia images as black and white.

Between around 1898 and 1914, photographic postcard negatives in the United Kingdom were often sent to Bavaria (Germany) to be printed and hand-coloured. Hand-coloured postcards are not black and white. They are hand-coloured or tinted. Please do not classify them as black and white. Often, because postcards like this are over a century old, they are faded or darkened, and the colouring is barely visible. But they are still hand-coloured, and they are still not black and white.

I accept that many people are colour-blind. My son is colour-blind and would not be able to tell the difference between sepia and black and white. That is fair enough. But if you cannot see that images are sepia or hand-coloured and faded, please do not attempt to use the black and white category. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 10:10, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Storye book I didnt add black and white to any images that didnt already have a structured data statement saying it depicted black and white photography. I am happy if you fix it, but it was originally created by someone else. Sadads (talk) 03:18, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for letting me know. I can fix categories, but I do not know how to fix structured data, like "depicts" etc. I am just not very techy in that respect. I would be grateful if you could fix that part of it, on that image filepage? Thanks again. Storye book (talk) 08:24, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Storye book you never linked to a specific file. You can learn more about depicts at Commons:SDC Sadads (talk) 11:49, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies. It was File:St James Brighouse 005.jpg and File:West Park URC Harrogate, 17 July 2020 (64).JPG. Storye book (talk) 13:44, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing statements[edit]

Why do you remove statements labeled campaign33@ISA. IMO it looks like vandalism. --XRay 💬 14:32, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In that specific case, the window wasn't the main subject of the photo: the main subject contains the window, a redundant extra depicts statement adds no significant value, Sadads (talk) 01:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
