Steun?[edit]

Beste Paul, een buitenlandse gebruiker zonder kennis dreigt alles op commons ivm België zomaar dooreen te gooien. Kan ik op je steun rekenen op Commons:Deletion_requests/2007/07/30#Category:Flemish_Region om deze onzinnige en vooral onhandelbare opsplitsing te verwijderen? --Teeceematiek 11:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dag Paul (Donderwolk I presume),

Er zijn al vele discussies geweest betreffende diepere (sub-)categories in België (vooral rond kerken en kastelen). Er is al gepoogd per provincie, per regio en per communiteit (taal) te klasseren. Er is een soort van consensus gegroeid:

  • een uniform twee niveau systeem (land en gemeente/stad) is de standaard manier om iets te adresseren (met de post bijvoorbeeld) en dus door iedereen gekend met een minimum aan fouten
  • voor buitenlanders vraagt het systeem een minimum aan lokale kennis en kunnen ze dus gemakkelijker klasseren (probeer maar even te klasseren in Frankrijk: tegen dat je het juiste departement en/of district gevonden hebt ben je al heel wat tijd kwijt)
  • een systeem waar sommige items op twee niveaus (vb scholen, gemeentehuizen) en andere met bijkomende niveaus (vb kastelen per regio (Vlaams/Waals + Brussel), kerken per provincie, scholen/dichters per communiteit) geklasseerd worden schept vooral verwarring en conflicten. Bovendien zijn er veel items die zich uitstrekken over verschillende regios/provincies (kanalen, rivieren, domeinen, wegen, ...), hetgeen de zaak nog compliceert.
  • en misschien het belangrijkste element: iedere verdere subcategorie exporteert onze Belgisch problemen en complexiteit naar de wiki

Het is waar dat sommige categoriën wat overvol zitten, maar een splitsing in regios (factor 3) of provincies (factor 10) lost het probleem niet echt definitief op. Aan de snelheid waarop de foto's binnenkomen zal iedere opsplitsing hoedanook op relatief korte termijn weer overlopen. Dit is een globaal probleem voor de wiki, en ik denk dat sommige wikilayouts daarvoor moeten aangepast worden.

Eerlijk gezegd ben ik aangenaam verrast dat wij nog zo weinig Vlaams/Brussels/Waals problemen gehad hebben en ik sta niet meteen te springen om mijn tijd daarme te verliezen. Ik hoop dus dat je ons daarin volgt.

Beste groet. --Foroa 08:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beste medewikipedianen, het is helemaal niet mijn bedoeling om hier onrust te stoken of de boel op stelten te zetten. Ik zag gewoon dat er cats op lager niveau bestonden en heb daarom de kastelen in de bestaande weliswaar lege categorie ondergebracht in de overtuiging dat ik daarmee goed werk leverde. Ik volg de discussies hier niet. Als de gemeenschap niet wil dat die categorieën gebruikt worden, waarom deze niet verwijderen of kan dat technisch niet? Graag antwoord op mijn overlegpagina hoe we de dingen oplossen Paul Hermans 08:36, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Bedankt Paul, het is ook een beetje onze fout om die redirected categorie te laten rondslingeren. Maar deletion is hier niet altijd eenvoudig. Normaal gezien gaat een bot dit de komende dagen terug rechtzetten. Beste groet. --Foroa 08:54, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Paul Hermans!
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.

Belgisch erfgoed en historie[edit]

Dag Paul Hermans, gezien je interesse in Belgisch erfgoed en geschiedenis, mag ik je ook even een vraagje stellen omtrent wat gedoe op de Nederlandstalige wikipedia ??

Het gaat over artikelen over twee scholen. Eentje nl:Ter Poorten uit Lissewege met een een stuk dorpsgeschiedenis sinds 1828, en waarvan de onderwijzerswoning ook enige tijd voormalig gemeentehuis was. En eentje in Roeselare nl:Stedelijke Basisschool 1 Roeselare, eveneens > 100 jaar oud, en in 1995 nog opengesteld op de Open Monumentendag.

Toch vinden enkelen het blijkbaar nodig oogkleppen op te zetten, en deze dingen te nomineren voor verwijdering nl:Wikipedia:Te_verwijderen_pagina's/Toegevoegd_20090406#Toegevoegd_06.2F04:_Deel_3b_-_onderwijs. Waarom, omdat het niet in Nederland ligt? Vooringenomenheid? Niet verstandelijk in staat de artikelen te lezen ? Als jaar en dag staan historische bouwwerken in wikipedia, zelfs niet-historische prullen, zoals dit hollandse nl:Gemaal Van Sasse zijn zonder nadenken OK? Nochtans hebben vele artikelen , zoals dat laatste, zoveel minder om het lijf, en je hoeft het heus niet ver te zoeken tussen de artikelen met hollandse bouwwerken. Maar 2 historische Belgische gebouwen en scholen zouden dat niet zijn ? Dat gaat er bij mij niet in alleszins. Gezien je sterke interesse over onze lokale dorps- en stadsgeschiedenissen : Mocht je er aldaar een idee over hebben, je vindt de weg wel zeker naar de nl-talige wikipedia voor opmerkingen ? ;-) Groeten --LimoWreck (talk) 14:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ohja, nu we toch bezig zijn, op nl:Wikipedia:Te_verwijderen_sjablonen/Toegevoegd_2009_week_13#Toegevoegd_woensdag_25.2F03.2C_te_verwijderen_vanaf_08.2F04 zijn er nog een paar hollanders die een Belgisch sjabloontje denken te moeten verwijderen - terwijl Nederlandse voormalige gemeenten eveneens hun eigen sjabloon hebben (dat is blijkbaar weer geen probleem). (verwijdering is niet eens nodig, mocht de gemeenschap het willen, kan men gewoon het sjabloon intern aanpassen) Mocht je daar nog geïnteresseerd zijn in een ruggensteuntje, je ziet maar ;-) --LimoWreck (talk) 15:02, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Limowreck, ik begrijp je redenering en ook je standpunt en ik ben het met je eens dat beide artikels hun plaats hebben op wikipedia als je hun kwaliteit afweegt tegen die van vele andere artikels die hier niet verwijderd worden. Maar op zichzelf vind ik dat niet voldoende. Ik wil over die dingen zelfs niet meer nadenken omdat je in deze gemeenschap van wikipedianen met totaal verschillende attitude al vlug verzeilt in een discussie van hij/zij tegen mij of zij tegen ons en waarbij een meerderheid met soms, naar mijn idee, een slechter standpunt, gelijk krijgt. Ik kom hier zelden of nooit mensen tegen die van mening kunnen veranderen (kan ik dat zelf wel en ben ik ook niet iemand die graag gelijk krijgt?) en dus, mijn motto indachtig, hou ik me liever afzijdig.

Dag Paul,

Deze foto is duidelijk niet van een Erica multiflora, maar van een Erica terminalis. Vergelijk met File:Erica terminalis000.jpg - momenteel bloeiend in mijn tuin - die ik juist opgeloaded heb.

Erica multiflora, heeft klokvormige bloemen met uitstekende meeldraden op lange stelen.

Vlaams Mijnmuseum[edit]

Hi Paul, I need your assistance regarding some images you uploaded in Category:Beringen. Could you please tell me which of your images (Steenkoolmijnberingen...jpg) actually belong to the Vlaams Mijnmuseum?

Hallo - ik zag dat je een "betere" versie over een oude foto van User:Walter had geladen, was hier een bepaalde reden voor? Het lijkt me dat beide fotos waarde hebben. Ook een vraagje waarom een kleinere versie over de grote versie was gezet? Hoe groter hoe beter lijkt me :) Alvast bedankt. -- Deadstar (msg) 13:06, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excuses - Ik zie nu pas dat het orginele bestand een transwiki van nl: was, gedaan door Walter, maar het bestand was gemaakt door uzelf. Desalniettemin nog steeds de vraag of het niet beter is het oude bestand te behouden als aparte afbeelding, want het is toch de moeite waard.

CS3[edit]

Hallo Paul, Photoshop CS3 ist auf jeden Fall super (ich selber habe nur CS2) und wenn du Raw-Bilder verwendest, dann hast du ja noch viel Spielraum für veränderungen. Ich kann ja nicht beurteilen, wie gut du dich damit auskennst, aber falls du noch wenig erfahrung im Schärfen von Bildern hast: einfach mal "sharpening cs3" googeln. Es gibt sehr viele verschiedene Techniken, manche versuchen viele kleine Details hervorzuheben (Gefahr: zu viel macht das Bild "körnig"), andere betonen besonders Konturen (z.B. http://www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/sharpen-an-image/photo-sharpening.html) (Gefahr: zu viel gibt dem Bild leuchtende Konturen). Auf jeden Fall solltest du immer in 100% Ansicht Vorher und Nachher genaustens vergleichen, um zu sehen, welche Technik beim jeweiligen Bild am besten passt. Allerdings muss man ehrlicherweise sagen, dass "richtiges" Schärfen letztlich Ansichtssache ist, allen kann man es selten recht machnen... Gruß und viel Erfolg! Nikopol (talk) 01:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Paul, ich wollte dir noch kurz etwas zum Unterschied von Tiefenschärfe und Schärfen in Fotoshop schreiben. Falls du das schon weißt, dann ignoriere es einfach ;). Du hast bei der neuen Version von deinem Bild geschrieben, du hättest die Tiefenschärfe (DOF) verbessert. Statt dessen hatte ich den Eindruck, du hättest das Bild geschärft (ich denke, man kann nach der Aufname die Tiefenschärfe gar nicht mehr verändern, auch mit Raw nicht). Auch hast du einmal gemeint "The aperture f9, already sharpens the picture" (tut sie nicht wirklich, sie vergrößert nur den Bereich im Raum, der auf dem Foto scharf abgebildet wird, also die Tiefenschärfe). Verstehst du den unterschied zu "Schärfen"? Beim Schärfen verstärkt Photoshop die Kontraste zwischen hellen und dunklen Stellen, wodurch ein Foto scharf erscheint. Die Tiefenschärfe verändert sich dadurch aber nicht mehr. Du kannst bei zu geringer Tiefenschärfe zwar versuchen, mittels Schärfen den Eindruck größerer Tiefenschärfe zu erzielen. Das ist aber sehr schwierig bzw. unmöglich:
  • 1) Du kannst dazu nicht einfach in Fotoshop einen Schärfen-Filter benutzen, der das ganze Bild bearbeitet, weil du ja einen Pixelbereich (Radius) definieren musst. Wenn du hier einen kleinen Bereich wählst, dann werden die scharfen Bereiche im Fokus weiter geschärft, die unscharfen bereiche hingegen sind zu weiträumig und werden nicht mehr ganz erfasst (statt dessen wird das Bild körnig). Wenn du hingegen einen großen Radius wählst, dann werden die unscharfen Bereiche erfasst und geschärft (und auch das nur in Grenzen! Unscharf ist eben unscharf). Dafür ist der Radius dann für die scharfen Bereiche aber zu groß und das Bild wird in diesem Bereich unansehlich. Du müsstest also selektiv schärfen (für scharfe Bereiche mit kleinem Radius, für unscharfe mit großem Radius), was schon anspruchsvollere Bildbearbeitung ist.
  • 2) Bildinformation die nicht da ist kommt auch durch Schärfen nicht zurück. Im unscharfen Bereich fehlt die Information.
  • Das Schärfen braucht generell nahezu jedes Foto (auch mit großem DOF), falls die Kamera es nicht automatisch getan hat. Im Forum wird dir aber jeder raten, die kamerainterne Schärfung gering zu halten und das lieber selbst in Fotoshop zu erledigen, denn so bekommst du meist bessere Ergebnisse. Als Faustregel kannst du nehmen: Schärfen in Fotoshop perfektionniert scharf fokussierte Bilder, unscharfe Bilder sind nicht zu retten. Deshalb ist es am besten, von jedem Motiv immer mehrere Aufnamen zu machen und die schlechten anschließend zu löschen. Ich hoffe ich habe dir jetzt nicht nur bereits Bekanntes geschrieben, aber auf jeden Fall noch viel Erfolg! Nikopol (talk) 01:21, 18 January 2010 (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

Pay attention to licensing
Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose.

File:Théophile Lybaert (1848-1927) Biddende vrouw (studie) MSK Gent 22-11-2015 12-18-25.JPG seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file.

If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

العربية  Deutsch  English  español  français  日本語  മലയാളം  polski  português  slovenščina  svenska  Tiếng Việt  简体中文  繁體中文  +/−


The reason given by the user who added this tag is: Why shall the painting be in the public domain in the United States? Please provide the year the painting has been released in Belgium. Has it been released before 1923? Then Template:PD-old-auto-1923 would be right. Template:PD-old-auto-1996 is not possible, because the artist hasn't died before 1926.

Hello!

I'am interested to use in a publish the imagem that You taken to the painting: "Opdracht van Jezus in de tempel" door Goswin van der Weyden (1465-1538), kleinzoon van Rogier van der Weyden, in het Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga te Lissabon.

Do You authorizing teh use?

Best regards, José Loureiro — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fauces2 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 09 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello José, it is not for me to decide whether you may or may not reuse the image. The terms and conditions are mentioned on the page itself. A translation (if you are Portuguese) in your native language is surely available as well. The image is published on Wikipedia and no longer in my possession. Does this help?

Thanks for uploading File:Independence Rock 14-9-2014 12-24-22.JPG. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag.

(See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.

File renaming template[edit]

The renaming template is: {{rename|new name|number of renaming Criterion|verbal explanation|user=}}, for example: {{rename|File:Isabella van Spanje portrait.jpg|2|wrong ID|user=Paul Hermans}}
It is better not to use dots in names: they can case technical problems in old systems. Number of Criterion you can find on the Commons:File_renaming site. When you are an uploader, the best is Criterion #1, uploaders have special favours ;-)

Lotje, ik heb de afbeelding van het gulden cabinet toegevoegd op zijn pagina. Wat betreft de onduidelijkheid over toegekend aan of onbekend durf ik me niet uitspreken.

Atelier Maison Losseau à Mons[edit]

Bonjour Paul :) !

Je suis Anne, nous nous sommes rencontrés lors de l'édit-à-thon qui a eu lieu à la représentation permanente de la Suède à Bruxelles le 8 mars dernier.

Je te contacte parce que tu fais partie des contributeurs habitant en Belgique tout en étant également francophone. En collaboration avec Wikimédia Belgique, la maison Losseau de Mons va organiser des ateliers photo au mois d'octobre, pour importer sur Commons des images de leur patrimoine immobilier (il s'agit d'une maison dont l'architecture est de style art nouveau) comme mobilier (pièces, médailles, photo, archives, ouvrages...). Ces ateliers seront étalés sur le mois d'octobre : samedi 6 octobre pour la visite guidée de la maison Losseau, et samedis 13 et 20 octobre en après-midi pour les ateliers couplant photographie et Commons. Le public sera peu nombreux (une dizaine de personnes, sur inscription ouverte durant le mois de septembre) et composé de photographes débutants et amateurs, qui seront invités à téléverser leurs images sur Commons pour participer au concours Wiki Loves Heritage).

Pour animer ces ateliers avec moi et notamment la partie photo, je recherche un ou plusieurs bénévoles pour former et/ou encadrer nos participant(e)s. Pour ma part, je serai présente aux deux ateliers et je devrais assurer la partie Commons avec l'introduction aux licences libres et aux droits d'auteurs.

Si tu es intéressé pour donner un coup de main, n'hésite pas à me contacter via ma page de discussion ou par mail ! De même si tu as des questions à propos de ces ateliers ou que tu connais quelqu'un qui serait spécialisé dans la photographie muséale et qui pourrait nous aider :)

Thanks for uploading File:Henri Puvrez (1893-1971) Constant Permeke Jabbeke 27-10-2019.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

Hallo Paul Hermans, zou te achterhalen zijn of dit zusters van Willy Schlobach zijn? Qua datum zou het wel kunnen. Thanks. Lotje (talk) 16:18, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Volgens de titel van het schilderij wel. Groet Paul Hermans (talk) 17:15, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, could you add a license template covering the photograph. The object itself sure is in the public domain. Your photograph can be copyrighted depicting a 3D frame. Thanks a lot in advance, --Marsupium (talk) 18:19, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thx for letting me know. Done. Paul Hermans (talk) 18:52, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Paul Hermans: de beschrijving bij deze afbeelding omschrijft het als La Purificación de la Virgen. Voor wat het waard is. :-) Lotje (talk) 11:12, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Loves Heritage Belgium 2021[edit]

Beste vriend van Wikimedia België, De jury heeft beslist, de prijzen zijn bekend. U bent bij de 10 winnaars. Gelieve het juryrapport te lezen. Van harte gefeliciteerd. Geert Van Pamel (talk) 12:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dank je wel Lotje! Paul Hermans (talk) 07:20, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paul, your original upload from 2007 had, contrary to our rules, been overwritten in 2018 by a newer photo of the same chapel. As a user on :de preferred to use the older photo, I've split history and restored your original image under the above mentioned filename. --Túrelio (talk) 12:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

thx for your help Túrelio!

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category[edit]

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Wall painting in Bredene. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). - Jmabel ! talk 03:51, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thx Jmabel, very helpfull. Paul Hermans (talk) 07:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Used a photo of yours, thanks for sharing![edit]

I contribute mainly to Wikipedia in Norwegian Bokmål, and have been updating the article about the Battle of the Bulge, in it I used one of your pictures in a gallery of memorials (see link below):
