Hello, Greyhood!
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.

Mediation Cabal/Cases/02 October 2011/Holodomor

[edit]

Hi! I've recently noted the discussion over scholar sources for population loss in Ukrainian SRR due the 1933 Famine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/02_October_2011/Holodomor#Issue_2_-_victim_estimates and if it will be intresting for you I'll suggest "a third party view" - Source provided by Paul Siebert is nice - but there a magor point is missed - all of them estimate population losses for USSR in general - not for Ukrainian SRR - as Holodomor article scope is about. The major and highly graded scholar sources is missed - http://books.google.com/books?id=MTxiVqfUdL4C&printsec=frontcover&hl=uk&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

were at page 16 provided brief description about sources on topic - and specifically mentioned Conquest figure as it has no value in scholar terms of meaning.

Page 19-30 gives a detailed explanation on population loss estimations applyed - were calculated figures on death exceed given at tables at page 30.

Thanks, Jo0doe, it is very interesting. Demographic studies are very important on that topic, for sure we should use them! GreyHood Talk 18:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know - it's only one published scholar work with full description about the method of exceed death for 1930 period estimations, specifically targeted the Ukrainian SRR and based on common for demographical statistics method. It's pure statistics - without any " popular demands". en:INED - is highly respected by UN SD institution.The same data was presented by author at 2008 Conference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXE7z4HhjpU :29, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

  • Thanks. If you are so brave to plan to include a food assistance section - I definitely reccomend not to use a printed in Russia sources ( I hope you understand why). So, if you are intresting in doing so - plase make a look at http://www.amazon.com/Years-Hunger-Agriculture-1931-1933-Industrialisation/dp/0333311078# with text February 1933 "the Politburo authorised the issue of over 800,000 tons of grain as seed to North Caucasus, Ukraine, the Lower-Volga Region, Urals and Kazakhstan; and a further 400,000 tons was issued before the end of the spring sowing. ... Between February and July no fewer than thirty-five Politburo decisions and Sovnarkom decrees - all secret or top-secret - authorised in total the issue of 320,000 tons of grain for food." This included 194,000 tons of food aid for Ukraine. A total of `nearly 2 million tons' was issued for seed, food and fodder. (you can see it at page 424-426) also can be on some extent usefull http://www.archives.gov.ua/Sections/Famine/Publicat/Fam-Pyrig-1933.php (published as book with isbn=978-966-518-419-5 - document № 237.

  • I've note that the mediation was closed at the stage 2. So just for your info - an open letter by Maksudov (real name Babyonyshev) http://igrunov.ru/cat/vchk-cat-names/friends/babenyshev/1245325559.html with number of death - На время великого голода конца 1932го начала 1933 годов приходится не больше 2 миллионов погибших. And seems to me there a hoax in current lead :

anywhere from 1.8[5] to 12 million[6] ethnic Ukrainians - there nothing about ethnicity in sources cited http://www.melgrosh.unimelb.edu.au/documents/SGW-UkranianFamine_mortality.pdf page 5 - also it's a recent publication (2001). Similar story with 12 million - this highly criticized figure even not given for Ukraine - but for whole USSR. Claim over - estimates to between 2.4[7] and 7.5[8] million - Anatoliy Vlasyuk, Nationalism and Holodomor, p.53 - I've failed to find any scholar value of the "Drohobych portal" either who is Anatoliy Vlasyuk which opinion was added http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Holodomor&diff=432628923&oldid=432528549 by Ljudyna. Nor sources suggested a were said to have been killed as a result of the famine If you'll have any intent to deal with this story and will need sources - please do not hasitate to ask.Jo0doe (talk) 10:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just want to say that I do support 'Poland can into Wikipedia' staying on wiki. You responded about my 'keep' vote,
Lol what a smart vote. Sounds like keep but contains a hidden call to delete and resurrect the old drama.
I'm not 100% sure what this means! But anyway the only delete votes are from EEML members or their unindicted supporters who go on a rampage of attempted censorship anytime someone posts something about Poland not conforming to their heroic/victimised Polish folktales, and I feel this is very relavant when evaluating their vote. If I could change the wording to better convey my point, please advise! 74.190.0.35 21:00, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well thank you for your support. It's just that when I was creating the cartoon a had not any single thought about any actual Wikipedia editors. My point was to illustrate the meme. In the cartoon, Polandball just has assumed a typical role it often plays in Polandball cartoons. As for the pattern of nationalistic editing, almost any countryball could have been in place of Polandball - and in fact I intend to illustrate other countryballs as well - see Russia for the beginning, more to follow.
If you really want the cartoon to be kept onwiki, please remove the parts of your comment related to EEML and any specific editors - they are not really relevant here, and we need not escalating drama. Then I'll remove my response. Or strike both the named parts of your comment and my response. GreyHood Talk 21:12, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some photos for you

[edit]

In relation to this, let me say that others may take great stock of what is written in it, but frankly, I wouldn't wipe my dogs arse with The Daily Mail; nor any British shitrag for that matter, given their propensity to actively invade the private lives of people; whether that's chasing Princess Di to her death in chasing a fucking photograph, or hacking into the phones of dozens of people. The British press is the epitome of bottom feeding scum suckers, and this piece from the Daily Mail is no different. And they know this piece is to be used as shitrag, because no-one had the balls to put their name to it.

Anyway, I've found 2 free photos for you to insert into the Vladimir Putin article on English Wikipedia if you so desire.

I would suggest placing one of these photos (probably the sailing one) right next to where it is stated "Their photographs have never been published by the Russian media, and no family portrait has ever been issued."

It will be quite lulzy watching people's responses to the posting of these photos, given the shitrag comments in the article. russavia (talk) 23:10, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given

[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 21:05, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

[edit]

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
  2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

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. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
