2016092010017943

Hi Jeff, ticket:2016092010017943 contains a new article with permission from a photographer. I leave it to you to decide if this is what is needed. This email actually arrived and automatically merged itself with a ticket I was working on, which was almost completely unrelated to yours (I wonder how it happened...). I merged it now and so I leave it to you to evaluate. Cheers, seb26 (talk) 00:38, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

@Seb26 and FacultiesIntact: Thanks, I rerequested undeletion.   — Jeff G. ツ 13:53, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

By the way, I am writing to say that the following deleted files were absolutely not copyrighted, since they are portraits and paintings "being carefully checked" before firing uncontroversial judgments, I would ask administrators to check At least the license of each single deleted file, if you can of course ,, not all files are dirty as you think :)--95.244.103.108 20:36, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

How do you know?   — Jeff G. ツ 02:01, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jeff G. You have undone my changes for ‪File:Cecilia-vicuna.jpg‬.
But "Artists" is redundant because "Poets from Chile" is a subcategory of it. Greetings,--Hiddenhauser (talk) 09:30, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

@Hiddenhauser: Sorry, I diffused that to Category:Painters from Chile and Category:Female painters, is that better?   — Jeff G. ツ 09:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
Ok, thanks. --Hiddenhauser (talk) 09:56, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

First off, sepia toning may be historically accurate; at an absolute minimum, it is not automatically problematic. Also, the current large upload of File:073-Rudolf Koppitz, c. 1920.jpg may have a lot of pixels, but it's unfortunately rather low-quality in a number of respects. It certainly doesn't supersede anything else. AnonMoos (talk) 02:56, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

@AnonMoos: What do you think of the source I used, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/llimagevaultraw/raw_51001_51500/51142.jpg as displayed by http://www.luminous-lint.com/app/image/4765272854511424365846928/? My theory is that, no matter the archival method (sepia toning or printing in black on white paper in a book which then yellowed), the original black and white positive image as produced by the photographer and placed onto white paper by the printer is the most correct representation of their intent to produce a black and white positive image. My edits are intended to produce a better approximation of such original images than the images already on the project. Perhaps I should upload my approximations as new derivative works marked "(b&w)".   — Jeff G. ツ 12:15, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
The current version of File:073-Rudolf Koppitz, c. 1920.jpg has strange horizontal dotted line patternings which don't seem to be present in 51142.jpg, so maybe you should have just uploaded 51142.jpg? I don't feel like reverting any of your uploads right now, but you should probably carefully peruse COM:OVERWRITE... AnonMoos (talk) 15:51, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
@AnonMoos: I backed off four iterations of black saturation for my upload of 20:24 UTC five minutes ago, does that look better?   — Jeff G. ツ 20:29, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
