@Nil Nandy: Hi, and welcome. You put File:Roxburgh monument,AJC Bose Indian Botanical Garden.jpg in Category:Roxburgh Building, Shibpur. Why is that wrong? What is the right category?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Help needed with 1900-images: Test-image

Hello! I have now uploaded a test-image which serves as a template for the remaining ca. 1900 images I am also going to upload via OpenRefine. Could someone please have a look at the page of this test image and tell me, if I made any significant error, so that I can adjust the template (the data is created using a Python-script) for the remaining images? Thank you in advance! CalRis25 (talk) 18:02, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Does the image actually illustrate "abacus" or might it refer to another article on the same page? In the later case, I wouldn't include it in the filename. (I read the explanation on the file description page ("Alveus is the lemma or headword of the article, in which the image appears").
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 18:40, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Yes, the image does illustrate the word and article "abacus" The section Structure of the file name contains only an example for a file name. This section is the same for all 1900 images. I just changed the page to make it clear that the file name is merely an example. Is there anything else? CalRis25 (talk) 08:45, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
    Ok. It sometimes happens that similar works include an image on the same page, but not necessarily directly within the entry. Also I thought the section "Structure of the file name" was just for the test. If not, I'd add it in the information template with " | Other fields = ", probably as a template.
    I hoped someone might suggest you a different way to fill "description=", "source=" and "creator=", but I didn't comment on that aspect.

I fixed the license. Yann (talk) 09:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks to both of you, Enhancing999 and Yann! I changed the template accordingly (note: I could not apply the license-fix to the structured data because PD-old-100-expired could not be reconciled with Wikidata). Otherwise, the output looks a lot nicer now due to the incorporation of the file name structure in the Information-Box. See test-image 6. If there are no further suggestions until tomorrow, I am going to start with the batch upload (first small chunks, later larger ones). CalRis25 (talk) 17:46, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
@CalRis25: can you explain what you mean by "PD-old-100-expired could not be reconciled with Wikidata"? Copyright status for Lot and His Daughters (Q3837479) would appear to be exactly equivalent to that. - Jmabel ! talk 21:45, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Quite simple. If I put {{PD-old-100-expired}} into a CSV-column of the OpenRefine-input file and reconcile this column with Wikidata, then I get the result "Create the new item." If, however, this column contains {{PD-old-100}}, then I get the reconciliation-result 100 years or more after author(s) death (Q29940705). — Preceding unsigned comment added by CalRis25 (talk • contribs) 07:29, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Does anyone know how to address this in Wikidata and/or OpenRefine?
Failing that, can OpenRefine handle multiple permission tags? If your cannot use {{PD-old-100-expired}} can you use {{PD-old-100}} plus {{PD-US-expired}}? - Jmabel ! talk 12:50, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello Jmabel! I am moving this specific discussion to this Village_pump/Copyright-thread, as that seems to be the appropriate place to discuss this. Thank you for your support. CalRis25 (talk) 11:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
At Abacus 4.1, I did a sample alternative formatting. The idea is to start with the description of the image "Abacus" and making that easily editable by other users. The remaining of the description being more static, it's in "other fields 1". Possibly "Type of object image is based on:" could be copied into the description as well. "Place of discovery" and "Place in 1849" maybe too, but they are empty in this sample.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 22:21, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
Your edit of the formatting makes sense, because it better distinguishes the bits that are likely to be edited by users and those which will stay the same. I moved the Type- and Place-bits into the description, however, because that makes the information box easier to (mentally) digest. I also reordered it a bit. Thank you for your help. Abacus 4.1 looks better now and makes more sense. CalRis25 (talk) 13:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
I'd avoid bold, field like parts in the description text entirely. How about Special:Diff/919327534: If the text for SAMPLE1 and SAMPLE2 is empty, these parts of description= would be skipped. They'd still be present in other_fields_1 below.
 ∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 14:05, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
I disagree. Comparing my previous version with your change, I think that the first one is better: Reasons: a) most image-specific stuff (i.e. different from image to image) is close together, b) all items reasonably expected to be changed are within the same box, c) items like type and place without attached information clearly indicate that this information is missing and should be added, and d) SAMPLE1 and SAMPLE2 not necessarily are nouns which can be simply replaced. Your template is more machine-compatible, I guess, by isolating each item of information, but at the price of making the information more difficult to be digested by us lowly humans. I believe, that a more anthropocentric approach is better in this case. I will revert to my previous edit, but thank you for your effort. CalRis25 (talk) 14:49, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello Enhancing999! I'm referring to your latest edit of the file Abacus 4.1. From this new alternative formatting of the template and the first and second alternative formattings before that, I take that keeping the information about type and place in separate fields (other fields) and keeping the description simple is a big issue. If that is so, I think that version 1 of these alternative formattings (with a bit of reshuffling of the order) is preferable. If I understood your edits correctly, please say so. I will then change the template accordingly before beginning the actual batch-upload. CalRis25 (talk) 22:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
@CalRis25: I suggest you put the text of the "Structure of the file name" section into a template; or better still, put it on the parent category page and use a short template message on each file page to refer people there. You could probably also template the {{para|source}] data. Finally, apply a category like "1849 woodcuts". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:40, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Hello! Someone already changed the "Structure"-section into a template (thanks to whoever did it). I added the category 1849 illustrations instead of 1849 woodcuts, because I am not entirely sure about the exact type of reproduction used. I will leave the source-data in the Information-box itself without using a template. I am happy enough with how it looks now, and I do not think that any changes to the source section will be necessary. Plus, it now includes the respective lemma with a link to the page in the Archive.org-edition. In the worst case scenario, a batch-edit using OpenRefine should do the trick.

Posted a request for temporary undeletion, suspect I've formatted it incorrectly.

Hi. I have posted a request for the temporary undeletion of a file that was deleted a few months ago. The file was in use at Wikikids, a Dutch language site based on the Vikidia project.

The problem is that it's not been seen or commented on, while others are getting attended quickly, and it made me wonder if I have muddled a request for undeletion, with a request for temporary undeletion, and formatted the request incorrectly.

Could someone please have a look at this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File:Male_anatomy_nl.png: and tell me if I've made any errors, or if I simply have to just sit and wait for someone to pick it up and attend to it please?

Thank you. DaneGeld (talk) 20:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I've temporarily undeleted the file so it can be transferred to Wikikids as a fair use file. I did see your UDR before, temporary undeletion tends to be very time sensitive. Abzeronow (talk) 20:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
