[edit] The eye

Brilliant vector diagram with clickable links. I had never seen one before on wikipedia. Is it possible to say what software you used? /Is there a guide? I did read your guides at the start of this page (and learnt some new tricks). My abilities? HTML fine XML a bit. Understand how wmf files work. Thanks anyway Victuallers 11:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I used w:Inkscape. You will find an useful guide here (as well as at some other internet places). About the clickable links, I did not know that it was possible, bot in the en.wiki nomination for FP Pengo suggested using this tool for creating clickable imagemaps, that are coded in text form independently of the image (see the result). Hope this answers your question :)Chabacano 23:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure this answer is going to take me "a while" to work on, but that I suspect is because its a very complete answer, Thanks! Victuallers 17:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geograph images

Hi. Please don't mark Geograph images with {{flickreview}}. It only confuses the bot. Patstuart (talk) 13:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2 images not uploaded by bot

Hello. I've noticed these two images that you tried to upload using Flickr upload bot: Image:Choir stalls wSt Oswald's Church, AshbourneSt Oswalds Asbourne and Image:Choir stalls Ashbourne. There seems to be a problem as they didn't upload, so you might want to contact the bot's operator Bryan to resolve the problem. --Kimse 23:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph Wright of Derby

Thanks for uploading the images by Joseph Wright of Derby - they are great costume references. It looks like the categories Joseph Wright and Joseph Wright of Derby refer to the same artist - perhaps they should be folded together? - PKM (talk) 19:22, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it much matters since we don't have two Joseph Wrights in the Commons. Since he's English and the English Wikipedia uses "Joseph Wright of Derby" I'd say use that and redirect Joseph Wright there. If someone else named Joseph Wright comes up in the future, we can change the redirect. - PKM (talk) 17:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NPG images

Much as I support ignoring the NPG's dubious copyright notices, you might want to think about cropping images so as to remove them, before uploading? Image:Sir John Maynard mw04344.jpg refers. --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:33, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BEAUVOISIN images

Hello,

You 've made some images of my [village in France] that you call BOISVOISIN ! The real name is ""BEAUVOISIN"" . You say also <<.....near Vaunert>>, in the reality this town is call VAUVERT... You can find info on :[WIKI for BEAUVOISIN]

You speak about "Graffiti" in fact this artefact is call in french pochoir and it is a tradition in south of France (specially in the camargue) that is call on a local level Empègues [|Les EMPEGUES ]

Can you rectify it? Thank you RuB (talk) 21:52, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Derbyshire

I do have a suggestion actually. I found those images using the wikimedia commons layer of google earth, so you should be able to find the names using that. I thought the rename bot fixed the links - I guess I was wrong. As for how many I renamed, it was between 10 and 20 I think. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Again, sorry for not checking they were delinked before deleting :/ -mattbuck (Talk) 13:53, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not exactly sure what you expect me to do. I can give you the new names, but I can't tell you what articles they were removed from, you'd need to get logs from commonsdelinker for that. Also, try searching for the names - renamed images should include "This image was moved from Image:Risley 073234 3897cf4d.jpg" or something -mattbuck (Talk) 16:38, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please link images

Hello Victuallers!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Commons images are used by editors on many projects in many languages. Each image is put into categories. This helps other editors find them. Please add categories to each image you upload.

To add an image to a category, add the following code to the end of the page.

[[Category:Category Name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbit of comets, add the following to the image description page:

[[Category:Astronomy diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories: Astronomy diagrams, Comets.

For further information on categories read Commons:Categories.

The CommonSense Tool often helps you find the best category for your image.

Here is a gallery of your images. Please check that each image has a category. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the help desk. Thank you.

[edit] Some feedback on cropping

Hi Victuallers - I noticed you've done a lot of extracting of images of people from paintings featuring multiple people. Although this is a valuable activity, good cropping is a bit of an art, as it involves composition. Your crops, like File:Francesco Bartolozzi.jpg, tend to be too tight - they don't show enough context, and they center the subject in the frame. I'm not a professional, but you can see examples of a few of my better crops here:

General tips:

Give the subject "space to look into" - include more space in the direction in which they're looking.
Include their hair and some of their clothing, usually down to the middle of the chest or more. Really tight face crops are only really appropriate either for small icons, or when the source image shows only their face.
It's good to have lines pointing towards the corners.
Crop the shoulders just where they start to turn downwards.
rule of thirds

I hope this helps. :-) Dcoetzee (talk) 22:20, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:WikiConversationSharp.jpg may be deleted

The File:WikiConversationSharp.jpg which you uploaded has been tagged {{OTRS pending}} for more than 30 days. This tag indicates that an email setting out permission to use the file was sent to the OTRS team. Unfortunately, we cannot find any record that such an email has been received, and accordingly the file remains without permission. Unless the OTRS team receives evidence that permission has been granted within 15 days of today's date, the file will be deleted. If you have already sent the permission, please re-send it to "permissions-commonswikimedia.org" now.

[edit] Drakelowe Hall

Thanks. I was really struck by that photo when I first saw it. I only wish there were more old photographs as wonderful as this one. I guess then, like now, there are some really gifted photographers. I am always amazed by the generally high quality of photographs on wikipedia, and especially the photograph of the day.
