Really nice photographs of the Japanese Navy !

I have created Category "Japanese Imperial Navy" to deal with them; perhaps now it will be easier for you just to add the [[Category:Japanese Imperial Navy]] tag to the description of your images (that'll make them go straight into the Category:Japanese Imperial Navy page). I have already tagged the images you had put on Ship. Cheers ! Rama 11:26, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

OK! Thank you Rama. Greetings from --W.wolny 17:25, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

My english is bad! I've just uploaded two pictures, I got a confirmation from the system but do not find my pictures in the recent changes, only my edits in the Laon article where, of course, no pictures I uploaded are visible. Help! Donderwolk 16:00, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC).

Vielen Dank. Ich versuche es nochmal. Herzlichen Gruss aus Belgien; Donderwolk 16:09, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redundancy

Hi, an image you uploaded, Image:Ovation of the Reichstag after announcing the 'peaceful' acquisition of Austria.jpg has been listed as redundant since it is identical with another image. Regards, Thuresson 06:11, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Iwo Jima

The image you uploaded was shot by Joe Rosenthal of Associated Press, and Associated Press owns the copyright to it. It is not in the public domain (there seems to be a miscataloguing in the US archive site). We already got calls from Associated Press about it; they gave us a non-free license for use on WP. So this image should not be on commons. David.Monniaux 18:49, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright

Image:Mass_of_men,_horses_and_equipment.jpg is Crown Copyright. I am not sure exactly what this means for Commons LoopZilla 11:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi LoopZilla. The crown copyright of this picture has expired since there are 50 years gone by when it was shot. The Imperial War Museeum has given the access-right: unristricted to it (see link), so we can use it. A few days before i talked about that problem with someone else on the german wikipedia and he agreed with me in this case. --W.wolny 15:15, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Are you sure we may use them? I'm refering here to Image:Short Stirling with a Horsa glider.jpg. In terms http://www.iwmcollections.org.uk/terms.asp they wrote, that the Crown Copyright protected material may be reproduced free of charge in any format or medium for research, private study or for internal circulation within an educational organisation... Where Crown Copyright does not exist, this will always be stated....Commercial users identifying any photograph that they wish to reproduce on a commercial basis, regardless of copyright status, should always contact the Photograph Archive. To me it seems an unfree licence... Pibwl 22:15, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hallo W.wolny, hab eben beim Stöbern 2 inhaltlich gleiche Bilder gefunden: Image:Seconde-guerre-mondiale-debarquement-LCVP-6juin1944.jpg und Image:Normandyx.jpg. Beim ersten hast du mal eine optisch verbesserte Version hochgeladen, das zweite ist in der Auflösung viel größer. Eventuell willst du ja das große nochmal aufwerten und das kleinere Löschen lassen.

[edit] Alamein

Hi, sorry but I can't speak German. This is about your Alamein.png map, I noticed an error. The corps at the southern end of the British position should be XIII Corps, not XXX Corps, which was situated to the north. Leithp 20:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Leithp, thx for your advice but the map shows the nothern sector of the frontline with the XXX Corps. The XIII Corps is located by 10 to 15 Miles more south. Greetings to scotland --W.wolny 09:24, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

~~On Image:Alamein.png? When I view it, the corps below the S.African Division appears as XXX Corps.~~ Ah, I see what you mean. Do you know if there a map of the whole battle available? And guten tag to Deutschland ;-).Leithp 12:22, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Two of the images you uploaded (btw, thanks for lots of useful photos) look like lower quality versions of images already existing here: Image:US tanks pass through Coutances.jpg looks like a bigger resolution, lower quality version of Image:Coutances.jpg and Image:Field piece in the Periers sector.jpg like a darker version of Image:155mm-howitzer-france.gif.

[edit] Galería imágenes Kriegsmarine

Sure! You can count on me. I'm going now to verify the license of the images uploaded by the user you've mentioned. I will maintain you informed. --Joanot Martorell ✉ 20:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

I've seen the source where Aristides have got the images. In the page from URL http://centroeu.com/uboote/fotos.html there claims the following:

Colección S. Mata. Parte I: 143 fotos propiedad de los comandantes Karl Daublebsky von Eichhain y Carl-Gabriel von Gudenus.

Translation: S. Mata's Colection. 1st Part: 143 pictures on property of Commandants Karl Daublebsky von Eicchain and Carl-Gabriel von Gudenus.

So, I realize that the permission of use of those images must be given from the person who have the property of these pictures. It seems to be a colection of "copied" photos from pictures owned by those two Commandants, so if Aristides wanted to upload them he should to ask permission to this both commandants not to S. Mata. Am I being wrong?. But there is also another problem... in this page it also claim to be "original" ("333 fotos originales de U-Boote"), but... it's clear that a "scanned" pic from old photos can't be "original". But perhaps it also would mean that S. Mata have the original photos. --Joanot Martorell ✉ 20:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Droping_Loran_Bombs.jpg

I'm curious, what "post work" did you do on this image? It looks like it's been run through a sharpness filter, and I'm not sure if that's helped the quality any. Do you have the original? Night Gyr 11:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

The source offers a new bigger version, so I've uploadet this one. The only post works are circumsizing and manually clearing from faults. No sharpening was done on the new one. Greetings from --W.wolny 12:23, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:'Nan White' Beach, JUNO Area at Bernieres-sur-Mer.jpg

Hi W.wolny, I noticed you tagged this {{PD-because}}. But it's not PD because the IMF says "Access: Unrestricted" (what does access mean, anyway?). It's PD because it falls under British Crown copyright which has expired. So you should use {{PD-BritishGov}}. Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 00:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Imperial war museum- PD tags updated

I place this note here not for W.wolny's benefit but for anyone who may have some trouble on verifying PD status with the links that he left for IWM images. The way the IWM search engine now functions, these links no longer work. However, all his images may be quickly verified by going to the photo search page at Imperial War Museum and enter the Photograph number that W.wolny very thoughfully listed.

None of them should be deleted. The correct tag is {{PD-BritishGov}}

Thanks. -Mak 02:40, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fake?

Hallo, ist das Bild mit dem Sherman Tank in der Normandie echt? Ist es nachkoloriert? Aus welcher Quelle stammt es? MfG, --NEUROtiker 21:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi NEUROtiker. Laut archivesnormandie39-45.org stammt das Bild aus den Archives Nationales du CANADA. Ich nehme an, dass du auf die hohe Qualität dieser Farbfotografie ansprichst. Farbfotos gabs natürlich auch schon im WKII. Mit hoher Auflösung eingescannt (das Original ist doppelt so groß - ich habs runtergerechnet) entsteht dann eine so tolle Aufnahme, die ich noch leicht nachgearbeitet habe, das heisst: entrauscht - minimale Farb- und Helligkeitskorrektur - kleinere Flecken entfernt. Ich halte die Aufnahme für echt. Gruß von --W.wolny 04:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Hallo nochmal, danke für die Antwort. Wirklich faszinierend, dass noch solch gutes Material aus der Zeit erhalten ist! MfG, --NEUROtiker 19:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Hitler portrait - 1936.jpg

Servus,

ich habe für das oben genannte Bild LA gestellt. Lt. Quelle ist "copyright unknow", d.h. bei einem Bild von '36 ist PD eher unwahrscheinlich.

Gruß, --Wiggum 20:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Ja, stimme ich dir zu, aber wenn die beim IWM schon keinen Urheber ermitteln konnten, stellt sich mir die Frage wer das Copyright hält. Prinzipiell hast du aber recht. Gruß von --W.wolny 13:03, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Der Fotograf halt. Bezüglich der Frage, wann der Fotograf als "unbekannt" gilt haben wir meines Wissens ziemlich restriktive Regeln. Es gibt noch massenweise WKII-Bilder aus dem IWM oder den National Archives mit ganz obskuren PD-Freigaben. Die Frage ist halt, ob man einfach glaubt, dass irgendein Brite 1942 eine Nahaufnahme von Rommel gemacht haben soll, oder nicht. Schönen Feiertag noch, --Wiggum 14:24, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:PD-Archivesnormandie

I am sorry, but "libre de droits" does not mean "public domain". It means royalty free. Have a look at Que veut dire "libre de droits". The French for "public domain" is "domaine publique". Teofilo 21:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Teofilo, thx for your advice. All pics that are labled "libre de droits" are in the public domain, because they are from the National Archives USA or the National Archives Canada. I didn't say, that the frase "libre de droits" means "Public Domain". --W.wolny 08:40, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure ? It could mean as well that the National Archives of Canada and USA are the licensees of a royalty free license. In such a case the question whether the licensor allows other users than the National Archives to use the pictures remains open. While the question on who is the licensor and who is the licensee remains obscure, the "royalty free" mention suggests that there is a license, and a license means that there is a copyright owner. The fact that the website requests that their name and that of the USA/Canada Archives should be quoted may mean that they hold a copyright on the images. It seems problematic to claim that any picture is in the Public Domain, when you don't know the name of the photographer in the first place. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/notices/016-200-e.html#e says : Some of the material you will find on the Library and Archives Canada website is protected by copyright owned by Library and Archives Canada. In such cases, users must obtain written permission from Library and Archives Canada prior to reproducing the material. To obtain permission, please contact the Copyright Bureau at copyright/droit_d'auteur@lac-bac.gc.ca. http://www.archivesnormandie39-45.org is a French website. Maybe they have not grasped everything of USA or Canadian copyright laws, not to speak about the French copyright law which stresses moral rights of authors and requires quoting their names.

Hello W.wolny,

as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.

If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks.

[edit] Image:Naval Operations off Bougainville - 1943.jpg

Hi. I had some trouble with the PD tag you had put on the image. I was uncertain whether the image itself was PD and if the webmaster of would agree.

So I contacted him by mail and he confirmed that the maps had been scanned by him from the US Marine Corps monograph "Bougainville and the Northern Solomons" by Major John M. Rentz, USMCR; published by the Historical Branch, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps in 1946, thus public domain.

I updated the tag of that image. I know there are others that come from that website, but if I do not find them all, you know what to do next time you find one. Bradipus 16:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Ouch! I am afraid you may meet trouble with that tag. Look at Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-PCL for instance. They appear to be deleting non standard tags. In the case of Hyperwar and other ibiblio projects, I do not know if you will find a general agreement on the PD classification based on "The content of this web site is made up, primarily, of "public domain" (non-copyright) materials in English". I mean, I understand ibiblio is just hosting stuff, and it is up to the guy who uploads something to make sure it is PD or GFDL or wathever other licence compatible with the project. I suspect they do not check that the material is indeed PD, and that they would just delete the content should somebody come up with a complaint. In other words, we have no firm proof that the PD policy of ibiblio means that all material on ibiblio is indeed PD. That is why I specifically asked to the Hyperwar guy what the basis was for him putting the stuff in the PD.

So I would suggest that the appropriate way to tag these images is by using {{PD-because}}, with the kind of explanation I put in Image:Naval Operations off Bougainville - 1943.jpg. But I am no specialist here, just giving my advice, maybe you should post something on the Village pump. Bradipus 11:41, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Administrative notice

Deutsch

Hi. This message is sent out to you because you are an administrator on Commons, and you made little use (or no use) of the admin tools lately: less than 5 times in the last five months.

Commons has a new policy on admin activity, Commons:Administrators/De-adminship, taken into use on June 13, 2007 (after a poll among users). According to that policy, admins who use their tools infrequently will be asked whether they still need their adminship, and if they do not respond or require them the removal of the tools will be requested.

If you feel you still need your admin tools, please sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days from the date this message was sent out. However, if you then don't make 5 admin actions in the following 5 months, you will lose the adminship without any notice.

This is not a comment on the considerable help you have given to the project in the past but reflects the wish of the community to see active administrators and to ensure that possible security breaches are minimized.

This message is sent out by bot. If you want to give feedback on it, you can do so here — 08:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Operation market Garden 2 para orbats

Hello Mr Wolny,

I request your expertise on OPERATION MARKET GARDEN, specifically Order of battle integrated with map plus any insight you may feel is useful.

I'm a history student conducting a project on 2nd Para in OP MARKET GARDEN. Without doubt some of your maps have been the best I've seen on the internet. And I was wondering if you could upload or send me some more.

My lecturer and project colleagues were really impressed with the ones that gave an overview of the operation. My lecturer also asks if he could use your maps on wiki as teaching material

I would really appreciate your assistance for detailed orbats of 2 para during OPERATION MARKET GARDEN, and keep up yor good work!

Cheers

David O

Hello David,

thanks for your commendation about my work on "Market Garden".

I'm sorry that I must say that these maps I elaborated for the article are the only ones I ever made. They are based on inquest in various museums in Arnhem and the surrounding area - especially the de:Airborne Museum Hartenstein (german wiki-article).

If you wanna use them feel free to download them from commons. The maps are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License and may be used even for education purposes.

[edit] Please link images

Hello W.wolny!

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] File source is not properly indicated: File:Iva_Toguri.jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Iva_Toguri.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.

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-1.0+}} or {{PD-self}} 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!

The description of the above file which you uploaded currently reads "A storm in the English Channel launches its waves to the attack of an American building on the Normandy coast - June 1944".

The photograph is actually of HMS Centurion, an old British battleship deliberately sunk as a breakwater on D-Day. You can see part of her name-plate on the right of the photograph.
