Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Rowanwindwhistler!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki — it is really easy. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump. If you have experience contributing to Wikipedia, we have information that you might find useful.

Goodies, tips and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can see the files you have uploaded in your gallery. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. Only upload freely licensed or public domain content. Fair use is not allowed on Commons. If you're copying files from another Wikimedia project, use the CommonsHelper. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Simply use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Simply tag it as {{speedy|reason for deletion}}. For more information read the full deletion guidelines.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Rowanwindwhistler!

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.

re: Picture source and rights

Sorry for my late answer, I don't have time anymore to contibute to Wikipedia, and I don't check my accounts often. Your question regarding the copyright status of those images about Horthy is difficult to answer, basically i haven't got the faintest idea. Best wishes Cserlajos (talk) 20:34, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Update of File:Hindenburg, Kaiser, Ludendorff HD-SN-99-02150.JPG

Hello,

Do you mind uploading your version of this as a separate image? The version I uploaded is actually a crop of this particular image (e.g. look at the antlers mounted on the wall) and my source information will not apply to the version you found. I think we should thus treat both versions as 2 separate images and for now I'm reverting back to the original. Thanks. BrokenSphere 01:56, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Map translation

Hi. I saw that you translated my map of Hungary during WWII into Spanish language, so I wonder can you translate one other map into Spanish as well? I draw this map of the Roman Prefecture of Illyricum in 2005, but I recently uploaded an improved version of that map: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prefecture.png The thing is, somebody translated older version of this map into Spanish, as you can see here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PrefectureIllyricum.png So, the Spanish version should be also improved as English one, but since user:Waldoz who uploaded Spanish version is no longer active here, can you translate this improved map version into Spanish and upload it instead of the old Spanish version? PANONIAN (talk) 19:19, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Good work with map translation - I just made few minor aesthetic changes in it and also translated map legend into Spanish (I copy-pasted that legend from the article in Spanish Wikipedia, so would you check is that translation good since I do not speak Spanish and I do not know is that a correct translation from English).

File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-L07689 Ion Gigurtu.jpg

Is that images covered by Commons:Bundesarchiv? It not comes from the upload of that cooperation. --Martin H. (talk) 17:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Ehm, also your other "Bundesarchiv" uploads... Only images uploded in the batch upload are cc-by-sa, the rest from the Bundesarchiv and in the Bundesarchiv database is protected by copyright and not free. Or do you have individual permission? --Martin H. (talk) 17:24, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Damn, thats a worse thing you did here! E.g . File:Bundesarchiv Bild 146-1971-039-44, Kurt Eisner.jpg is a blatant copyright infringement, the image is clearly not included in the cooperation Commons&BArch, the image is protected by copyright and not included because the BArch not owns the requried copyrights to release it under a free license. You can not simply steal those images from the Bundesarchiv database and claim them licensed under cc-by and included in "|Permission=Commons:Bundesarchiv". I dont expect a long standing user dooing such bad things here. --Martin H. (talk) 17:29, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

It is. I ordered this image along with 11 others from the Bundesarchiv to be digitalized for Commons use. I will pay for the scanning of the photo originals myself and I am uploading them with the usual Bundesarchiv license. In particular, the Bundesarchiv personnel requested these conditions to be fulfilled in the uploaded photos (please correct any possible mistake I may make):

Nach einer entsprechenden Registrierung Ihrerseits, können können die Bilder im Webshop unter dem Verwendungszweck "private-Internet use - 0,00 " kostenlos herunterladen ( s. beiliegendes Infoschreiben), müssen dann aber UNBEDINGT dafür Sorge tragen, dass diese Bilder bei Wikimedia Commons mit allen notwendigen Zusatzinformationen versehen werden.

--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 17:31, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rowanwindwhistler, if you have indeed a permission, you need to forward that to OTRS. As many copyright violations are uploaded to Commons every day, we require proof in such cases. Please give your user name and the names of the deleted files in that email. Please let me know if any further assistance is needed. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 17:44, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Its redicoulous. I spent much time to order and scan the information from a rare book and to explain WHO the author of File:Bundesarchiv Bild 146-1971-039-44, Kurt Eisner.jpg is and that it is protected by copyright untill 2056. The author is clearly identified. Now you upload the image with the claim, that the author is anonymous and that the Bundesarchiv gave you permission to reuse an image that they OBVIOUSLY not hold the rights on(the heritage of that photographer is hold by another museum) and that the image is included in Commons:Bundesarchiv... Obviously not, you knew the author, you knew the copyright status, so your license claim etc must be a fake. --Martin H. (talk) 18:02, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Martin, I am not claiming anything, as far as I know the Bundesarchiv is (please go and see for yourself in their site). Please tell them to correct it if you are sure it is wrong. They think they can allow the usage of the image with a Commons license. If you disagree, tell them. However, I was to upload 12 images, not just one, all of them allowed by Bundesarchiv. Nothing is "fake" (though it may be wrong, everybody makes mistakes...). Again, calm down. Whatever I may have done wrong, I have done in best faith and this is not the end of the world. If an image is indeed unusable, I will have thrown my money down the drain and the image will be deleted, that's all. But try to try to keep polite as you have not right to accuse anyone of anything...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 18:10, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Forward your communication to OTRS please. Also the initially mentioned image is relatively obvious a Heinrich Hoffmann photo. I can imagine, that permission for private reuse is granted, I cant imagine that they are so carelessly with legal restrictions. --Martin H. (talk) 18:28, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I already did, following AFBorchert's suggestion. I hope all necessary information is in the mail I sent but, if anything is missing, do not hesitate to ask me and I will do my best to find whatever may be missing. About the most contested image, they raised no objections (as with the others) but they may not have been aware of its true status. I assumed they were allowed to borrow the image to wikimedia in the usual restricted quality (actually, I did not ask for this one in particular, but for a portrait of Kurt Eisner, it has just been a coincidence they sent the same one already in Commons and to be deleted). Anyhow, I will wait for confirmation that the images are indeed usable in Commons before I upload any more. If they are not, I think it would be a good idea someone told Bundesarchiv, to avoid any future misunderstandings, I mean. Thank you for your advice.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 18:36, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Martin, I've just checked the material Rowanwindwhistler has sent to OTRS. On the first view it looks as if Rowanwindwhistler acted in good faith but I am now in the process of checking this out with the Bundesarchiv. Ticket number is OTRS ticket 2010042710030088. Martin, is there somewhere a summary of the issues you saw with the uploads, i.e. the identification of the photographer etc? I noted also that the email referenced more photographs (12 in total). Do you have that extended list or did you just note the files which had been uploaded? Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 18:58, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rowanwindwhistler and Martin, at OTRS we received meanwhile a confirmation of the Bundesarchiv that confirms Rowanwindwhistler's statements. These pictures will, however, probably be uploaded through a process that follows the previous uploads of the Bundesarchiv. (There is still an ongoing discussion regarding this point.) Martin, if there are any objections in regard to this set, please voice them now and I'll forward that. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 12:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, glad to hear things are being sorted out. Just a few questions if you don't mind my asking: 1) How could I know when the pictures will be transferred (I wanted the images for some wikipedia articles I am helping with)? 2) In case the price of the service ends up being reasonable and I decide to order some more pictures from Bundesarchiv for Commons, what would be the right procedure for me to follow to avoid further misunderstandings? 3) Is there any place in Commons where requests for Bundesarchiv can be made, i.e. if I would like an image of character X or event Y scanned, is there any place in Commons where I can register my request so that it can be relayed to Bundesarchiv? Thanks in advance for your kind support.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 12:17, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Rowanwindwhistler, there is a process in preparation (but not yet operational) that allows the Bundesarchiv to upload further photographs. If this process is ready, the Bundesarchiv itself will upload the photographs. In the meantime, this will be done by Raymond who has already worked with the Bundesarchiv in the past. As long as the new process has not been enabled, I would suggest to contact Raymond to get this done properly, i.e. do not upload the Bundesarchiv images yourself but let this be done. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 14:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I see, no problem at all. I just sent him a mail to see if I can be of any assistance in the process. I would be interested in knowing the procedure to order and upload pictures from Bundesarchiv, just in case I decide to order some more pictures for Commons. I suppose it will be posted somewhere when ready... Kind regards.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:05, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:

• Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
• State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
• If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
• Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
• Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Dises egipcios

Hola Rowanwindwhistler. Son muy buenas tus imágenes del MAN. Verás que he renombrado algunos dioses. Ahora están mejor. Es un tema bastante complejo, pues hay cientos y muy parecidos, pero afortunadamente casi todos tienen escrito su nombre en jeroglíficos. Tal vez haya que renombrar algún archivo, pues no coincide el texto con la imagen. Un cordial saludo, --JMCC1 (talk) 12:50, 9 August 2010 (UTC) PD: El "carnero" no se a quien representa (por ahora), tiene un nombre muy raro.

Hola, gracias por el cumplido pero me temo que la iluminación y mi poca pericia no han ayudado mucho. De todas formas pensé que podían ser interesantes para la wikipedia (que tiene menos de las que yo esperaba...). La verdad es que no tenía mucho tiempo y ya he visto que cometí muchos errores en las identificaciones pero me alegro de que hayas podido corregirlos, que es lo importante. No sé si se puede cambiar el nombre de los archivos en Commons (nunca lo he probado) pero, si ves algunos que estén mal, adelante, sin problemas.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 05:31, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Your map

There is one mistake in this map that you uploaded. Vojvodina had no any relation to Hungarian Soviet Republic and you can see that in this source: http://libcom.org/files/images/library/hungarianmap%5B1%5D.jpg so, there is no reason that Vojvodina is colored here. I corrected this mistake in original map that you used as source, but this mistake should be corrected in your map too. 123iti (talk) 11:55, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, but if you only want to show an extra info then we still would have problem with way how that info is presented. Both, Vojvodina and Croatia were parts of serb-Croat-Slovene Kingdom in that time and both were part of the Kingdom of Hungary before that, so I do not see why Vojvodina is presented with one color and Croatia with other? Both territories had same status in that time. So, if you want to present parts of former Hungarian Kingdom under Serb (Yugoslav) and French control then please paint Croatia into blue too (and yes, Serb-Croat-Slovene Kingdom was created on December 1st 1918, so it was not territory under Serb control, but under Serb-Croat-Slovene control - it was an common state of 3 nations in that time). There is also problem with word occupation which have negative conotation - I suggest neutral description: territory under Serb-Croat-Slovene and French control. 123iti (talk) 22:57, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

The army was Yugoslav because when joint state was created in December 1st, 1918, the joint army was proclaimed as well no matter that former army of the Kingdom of Serbia was a main part of new koint army. The occupation issue: officially, parts of former Austria-Hungary were under occupation only until December 1st, 1918 when they became parts of newly created Kingdom which was internationally recognized in 1919, an year before Treaty of Trianon. The text of Trianon Treaty itself does not mention with a single word that any territory was „taken“ from Hungary. On the contrary, it treat Hungary as a newly created state and define its borders towards neighbours while all new countries that included parts of former Kingdom of Hungary are recognized as successor states of that kingdom (you can see that by yourself if you read text of the treaty: http://wwi.lib.byu.edu/index.php/Treaty_of_Trianon ). You also can see that even original uploader of a map did not used word occupation, but used neutral word control: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Nepkoztarsasag.png&oldid=21543584 And no matter that Hungary proclaimed its independece in late 1918, it was not internationally recognized as an independent country before late 1919, so it is not possible that territory controled by Yugoslavia is de jure occupied territory of an unrecognized country. Word „occupation“ is clearly your personal addition to this map and you done that without deeper knowledge of certain historical events. Please change that due to description in original map. Thank you. 123iti (talk) 12:20, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

I do not know how to change SVG maps (what program you using for that?). About occupation/recognition, please read this: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/517198/Treaty-of-Saint-Germain „Treaty of Saint-Germain, (1919), treaty concluding World War I and signed by representatives of Austria on one side and the Allied Powers on the other. It was signed at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris, on Sept. 10, 1919, and came into force on July 16, 1920. The treaty officially registered the breakup of the Habsburg empire, recognizing the independence of Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, and the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (Yugoslavia) and ceding eastern Galicia, Trento, southern Tirol, Trieste, and Istria.“ So, this is the day when, both, Yugoslavia and Hungary were recognized and text say that the breakup of the Habsburg empire was REGISTERED by this treaty, but there is no evidence that parts of Yugoslavia were regarded as an occupied Austro-Hungarian territory before this Treaty and it is also not correct that they were under Yugoslav military administration. Administration was completelly civilian in all parts of Yugoslavia that formerly belonged to Habsburg Monarchy. In fact, I have here two interesting map from 1919: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/Europe_map_1919.jpg - it is published by the London Geographical Institute and it show situation before Treaty-of-Saint-Germain (or before official recognition of Yugoslavia and Hungary). Sure, borders presented in that map are rather an assumption how final borders will look than a presentation of actual state control (Hungarian-Yugoslav border in that map is in fact illustration of one of the proposals how this border should look, presented in a Paris Peace Conference), but this map illustrates that de facto existence of both Yugoslavia and Hungary was more-less recognized and more-less in those borders that they controled. Furthermore, term occupation usually refer to a case where forces of one country are occupying part of another and, due to this definition, it would not be wrong to say that Serbian forces occupied parts pf A-H in late 1918, but after creation of Yugoslavia we do not have any more an foreign country that occupy part of another. Yugoslavia was a new country that was created by the people who were citizens of A-H and therefore it was successor state of A-H, not an foreign occupying power. Finally, we discussing here an map that show Hungarian Soviet Republic which in this time had absolutelly same status as Yugoslavia and whose proclaimed independence was also violation of de jure existence of Austria-Hungary, so if Yugoslavia was an occupier on A-H soil then Hungarian Soviet Republic was occupier too (it is nothing but POV to use word occupation for Yugoslavia and not for Hungarian Soviet Republic – either both were occupiers either both were not). Also note that in Serbian historical book is usually used word liberation to designate unification of former A-H territories with Serbia, and I am not asking that this word is used in your map – I am simply asking that neutral word control is used, which was also by Hungarian author of originall map. So, thank you for changing some things due to my proposal, but you still have to change 2 things: 1. Replace term occupation with term control, and 2. Please paint map background into white because if SVG map without colored background is saved into my computer as PNG then backgroud apper completelly black and letters from map legend are not readable at all. Or you can tell me which program are you using for SVG maps so I can change file by myself. 123iti (talk) 13:59, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

ok, I changed some things in a map, including some colors and descriptions (seems that you did not used accurate description for Slovakia area too, since according to original map, it is an area recaptured by Hungarian Soviet Republic in May-June 1919). Please check are all Spanish descriptions there correct in my map version (google translate do not always provide accurate translations). Also, I think that I corrected problem with black color in PNG file save – you should always create an backgroud layer colored in white so that SVG image can have white background. 123iti (talk) 23:31, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Just two things: 1. Did you tried to save your SVG map as PNG to see how that file looks? It does not have black background on your computer or what? Yes, Wikipedia do adds the white to the image, but only on the web. Once saved into computer that white became black. Is it possible to create white backgroung in SVG map at all? 2. Blue color that you choose is too dark and names of Zagreb of Subotica are very hard to be read on so dark background. I just tried to improve this image, but I will not change it any more. So, would you change what I proposed is up to you. I have to do some other things, thought. 123iti (talk) 00:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Just one more comment about your SVG maps. I know that I am booring already, but I see that you uploaded many maps and I just want to suggest how you can improve them. The SVG/PNG question is relevant here because Wikimedia offer to users that they can download SVG files in 4 different sizes of PNG (notice description „This image rendered as PNG in other sizes: 200px, 500px, 1000px, 2000px.“ below your SVG maps), and by my understanding of that, SVG files should look good when downloaded in both offered image formats (SVG and PNG). Otherwise, why would Wikimedia offer downloading in PNG format at all? I also always download SVG images in PNG format because SVG images cannot be used by some popular image viewer programs such is ACDSee. If you do not use white background in your SVG maps then they do not look good in PNG format. 123iti (talk) 13:44, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:SDKMars.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:SDKMars.jpg]]). 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-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} 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!

There is much wrong with your uploads to Robert Sennecke now. Most photos are not created by him but distributed by his company. Another big problem is that the date is often wrong. That french agency is also an redistributor only, for example File:EduardBernstein1932.jpeg was published in 1932 (at Bernsteins death most likely), but not taken in 1932. It circulated in 1929 already. --Martin H. (talk) 23:39, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

in short: I just looked again. Category:Photographs by Robert Sennecke is 90% wrong in author and date. Certainly Sennecke not made a photo of Chiang Kai-shek in 1933, thats plain nonsense. I dont know where to start with this uploads, its horrible. --Martin H. (talk) 23:44, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I just uploaded new improved version of this file: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kingdom_of_Prilep.png

Perhaps you can upload improved version of your derivative file as well: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ReinoDePrilepSigloXIV.svg

That file is derivative version of older version of this map that was created by me: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Central_balkans_1373_1395.png However, the old version was not of very good quality and I think that derivative versions of this file should match the current quality of original image.

Hi again. Well, I have Inkscape installed, but I do not find it easy to use. I guess if someone uses Photoshop for so long like me, it is hard to work with Inkscape because controls there are not even similar to those in Photoshop. Anyway, I just uploaded an improved version of this map as well: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Serbia1817.png Perhaps you can upload improved svg version too: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Serbia1817.svg&page=1 PANONIAN (talk) 22:32, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

new message for you

at the graphics lab Penyulap ☏ 15:41, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

800px

some labels can be added the green arrow is not in the image this text has a white background

text with no background, they went that a way

some labels for a legend
can go in the space here, they are text and easy
to change just need the setup for the first map,
and then it's easy for every language to be done
with just the wikipedia edit window alone.
oh and you can add links too,
click here to view the code

stuff that looks like guns

lots of arrows

a translation to the
local language goes here

this is the kind of thing that I mean, if we ask for help at the help desk or someone who knows lots about overlay, it's possible to finish the setting up of this one image, then to change the text you just edit and search and replace the code here on the actual page, not in the image which stays the same. So the one image is good on all wikipedias and the text is just search and replace. Plus, it's easy to add little animations over the top of it, flames, tanks, galloping horses, whatever, they can be added later or those factory symbols could be changed if you like, that kind of thing.

the alternative, adding text to every version of the svg would make it harsh to let people edit the text in their local language or fix incorrect wording. Penyulap ☏ 13:16, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to help on this one, would you like to ask about on the helpdesk for help translating the labels if I do the placement on the map ? Penyulap ☏ 06:59, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I have just uploaded a new version based on the current one of the original map.

Thanks for the tip.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:53, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

There is one big mistake in the map you uploaded. In the map of Sweden there wrongly appear two Malmös. You put the name of Malmö instead of Göteborg in this map. The actual and correct Malmö is aready depicted in the southwest corner of Sweden opposite Copenhagen. Please correct this obvious mistake. 31.200.13.46 14:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

I noticed that back in Sept 2012 you uploaded several wonderful images of the Bulgarian royal family from a 1913 book about Tsar Ferdinand that you found on archive.org.

For example, File:EudoxiaKyrilBorisYNadejdaHijosDeFernandoDeBulgaria--czarferdinandhis00macduoft.jpg. with a source of http://archive.org/details/czarferdinandhis00macduoft .

I was just wondering, were you aware that if you look at the complete file list for that book (which you can access by clicking on the link after "all files" on the left), you can access the original scanned page images? They are in the file czarferdinandhis00macduoft_orig_jp2.tar , an archive file of the original jp2 images. These images are probably much higher resolution than the images you uploaded.

Just thought you might find this interesting for future reference. You have contributed so much to Commons, and I agree with your judgment of those who appoint themselves copyright/source/status police (who are siblings, I think, of the self-appointed non-notability and source/citation police on en-wiki). Cheers! Laura1822 (talk) 23:32, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Ugh, I just took a look at the original page images and found the one for the image I referenced above, and while it's much higher resolution (1484 x 1972 when cropped) it's not really any clearer. The images in this particular book aren't printed as photographs but with low-res dots like in a newspaper, so the pattern is obvious even when not at full resolution. How annoying. Sorry to bother you! Laura1822 (talk) 23:46, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, no problem at all! I was not aware these images were there and it may be worthwhile uploading those instead of the ones I originally did (most likely by getting a copy from the online book itself, I cannot remember any more). As far as I can remember, these scans in archive.org (specially those paid by Google) tend to give priority to getting a clear text, not good reproductions of the images. I suppose if one is interested in one image in particular this could be requested here (noth sure though, I have never tried it myself)... But I do upload images from these books as I know of no better alternatives. Regards.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:45, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Stop

I made an administrative action. I give a cause why I have done it. You have done a rollback two times. One time more and I see it as vandalism. If you think, I have done it incorrect, ask for a second opinion. But never again di a rollback! Maybe I am not right - but we don't do a game here. And I am elected as an admin to decide such requests! Marcus Cyron (talk) 22:40, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

You are already being reported. You did it wrong and you are the one breaking the files. The request will be added back. I do not care who you are.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 22:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Vandalism#User:Rowanwindwhistler. If you don't want to hear. Marcus Cyron (talk) 23:02, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

You are the one that does not want to hear. You wrongly renamed the files, you reject the restoration of their names, you delete my requests and you do not seem to know the criteria as you add reasons that contradict the rules. Your vandalism has been reported. My requests will remain in place, if you keep removing them, I will keep adding them back.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 23:05, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

If you disagree with a decision of another editor, even an admin, the correct move is not to edit-war with that user, it is to take it to a third party using dispute resolution. In particular, rolback is only to be used for obvious vandalism and if you abuse it again, I will remove it from you, without prejudice to you being blocked for edit-warring. Rodhullandemu (talk) 23:18, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I consider your unjustified removal of my request as vandalism. None of your reasons meet the 7 rules that justify a renaming, hence the removal of my request is unwarranted and the permanent removal I consider vandalism. If you insist in deleting my request I will have no choice but to ask for your admin category to be removed as undeserved.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 23:24, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I must apologize for my last not as it was not directed to you, user Rodhullandemu, but to user Marcus Cyron. My sincere apologies. However, I have to disagree, an admin cannot arbitrarily (without proper reasons) use his power to back his personal point of view.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 23:30, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Maps of Pagania

I saw that you uploaded two maps of Pagania based on maps uploaded by user Ceha. These maps had numerous errors.

I now uploaded new corrected map versions of both:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Neretva9st.png
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania9st.png

I also elaborated reasons for changes on talk pages:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Neretva9st.png
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Pagania9st.png

So, please correct maps which you uploaded accordingly. PANONIAN (talk) 10:16, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

One more important thing: user Ceha is from Croatia and he disputed my original map of Pagania only because it was based on Serbian sources: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania.png I hope that you know that this kind of "ethnic disqualification of sources" is simply not acceptable argument in academic disputes.

Anyway, it is truth that Serbian and Croatian historiography have different views about this question:

• Here is map from Serbian source: https://markoek.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/910veksrpskezemlje.png
• And here is one from Croatian source: http://www.croatia-in-english.com/images/maps/800s.jpg

You can notice differences. I think that fair solution is to have here in Wikimedia two different maps, one based on Serbian sources and another one on Croatian:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania.png (Serbian version)
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania9st.png (Croatian version)

Since you make maps mostly for Spanish Wikipedia I also think that two of your maps should depict one of the views and that both should be in article in Spanish Wikipedia, per the sake of neutral approach. The way in which user Ceha simply removed my original map from all Wikipedias and placed there his hybrid version (based partly on Serbian and partly on Croatian source with amount of personal original research) is really not the way in which one Wikipedian should behave. PANONIAN (talk) 10:42, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Done, unless I overlooked something the last changes have been added to the SVG versions I drew. Please bear in mind anyone (not just me, who may or may not be available to perform the modifications in the files) can change the SVG maps, that is the idea of the wiki...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:49, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Well, I would change these maps by myself, but I am not good in SVG maps editing. I can do anything with PNG files in Photoshop, however, Incscape is for me hard to work with. I tried to modify some SVG maps with Inkscape, but results were not good. So, I asked you, as image uploader, to change these SVG maps. Anyway, you might also make two small corrections in this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PaganiaSigloIX.svg 1. part of Pagania border with Croatia is still kept from old version, 2. Name "Byzantine territories" should not be near islands of Vis and Lastovo, which were not Byzantine, according to used Croatian source. The other map is OK. PANONIAN (talk) 08:06, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Just to tell you that dispute over Pagania borders was solved with 4 different maps, each depicting borders from one of reliable sources:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania.png
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania04.png
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania9st.png
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania06.png

By the way, you map still depicting kind of "wrong border" between Pagania and Croatia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PaganiaSigloIX.svg

Border between Pagania and Croatia in your map should be like in this map: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania04.png (since all other borders in your map are from that one)

But instead, the border between Pagania and Croatia in your map is in fact like in this map: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pagania.png

My point is that borders of Pagania are depicted differently in different sources and that each of Wikimedia maps should exactly depict borders from only one source (not from more of them because it would be then original research). So, please, if you find free time, try to correct border between Pagania and Croatia in your map so that all maps of Pagania in Commons are correct. Thank you. PANONIAN (talk) 22:18, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I changed the borders, following the original raster file mentioned as source in the SVG map. In case there are future changes, I think COM:GL/MAP is the best place to go for help...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 12:24, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Pequeña errata en mapa

Hola; me parece que hay una pequeña errata en este mapa: [[File:Georgian States Colchis and Iberia (600-150BC)-es.svg]], puesto que en la parte de abajo pone Armedia en lugar de Armenia. Quizá también podría modificarse la forma de la ciudad que aparece como Dioscurias, que en fuentes en español (por ejemplo en la edición de Estrabón de editorial Gredos) se transcribe como Dioscuríade, así como la que aparece como Guenos, que por la habitual transcripción de la υ griega por i en español debería ser Gienos o Gieno (aunque en este caso admito no tener fuentes directas sobre el nombre en español de esta ciudad).

Nazca pottery photos

Thanks for contributing all these photos of very fine Nazca pottery. They look like museum displays: are they all from one museum? Which museum(s)? Thanks, --Pete Tillman (talk) 02:26, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

I took the pictures during a temporary exposition held in Madrid (this one). I guess the objects came from different museums... It seems that at least some (not sure if all of them) came from the Museo de Larco, en Peru.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 05:28, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. Looks like it was a great show! I was thinking of adding the museum to your photos, but that looks like too much work.... --Pete Tillman (talk) 06:25, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Probably too much work indeed... I may have the captions for the objects somewhere but I would have to match them against the objects and that would probably mean matching more than a hundred objects, not really worth it...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 06:58, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Cartuja de Miraflores

Quería pedirle un favor. Esta tarde he estado arreglando un poco las categorías de la Cartuja de Miraflores, y me han quedado unas veinte imagenes que no he podido clasificar.

Esas veinte imagenes, más o menos, son todas o del sepulcro del rey Juan II de Castilla o del de su hijo, el infante Alfonso de Castilla, pero no las he categorizado por no saber a cuál de los dos sepulcros corresponden? ¿Podría hacerlo usted?Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 19:43, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Maps of First Indochina War

I recognized your spanish versions of the maps about the First Indochina War I made. I'm happy about that, but please be careful about the licence. The original had CC-by-sa 3.0, so it has to be the same and not 4.0.

I also wonder what you did about File:First Indochina War map 1946 to 1954 es.svg. Much of the content was lost in your last uploads of the file (compare with File:First Indochina War map 1946 to 1954 de.svg), so what happened there? --Don-kun (talk) 19:10, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

The license is actually the one Commons selects when uploading a file, I did not choose it, I simply left the one Commons chose at upload time. I have changed all the instances I found (I hope I did not leave any behind but I might). When I mark a file as a derivative of another one (even if I cannot do it in the wizard as I know of no option for it, unlike in the older (and better) one, but later), I expect Commons to apply any restrictions by itself. If the license cannot be changed (I have no problem with that), Commons must take care of ensuring that is so.

On the File:First Indochina War map 1946 to 1954 es.svg, I do not know what happened, probably I just deleted some areas by mistake while working on the map. I added them back.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 05:37, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

I know Commons does that when uploading a file. So I always check the licence when creating a derivate. I agree that Commons should support that better and ensure proper licencing. --Don-kun (talk) 10:40, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

If my memory serves me well, the old upload form set the right license when you told it that the file being uploaded was a derivative of another one. As far as I know, that is not there any more in the new (and worse) wizard). From my point of view, the check should be automatic and done by the Commons software itself once the file is marked as deriving from another one.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 10:49, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

In File:First Indochina War map 1946 to 1954 es.svg there is one chronological inaccuracy. Could you remove the word Nacionalista and keep just the name China, because the Nationalists ceased to control the mainland by late 1949 and mainland China became the People's Republic of China in October 1949. The other countries in the map are only shown with their country names, not their full official names. For instance the German version of this map avoids this chronological inaccuracy. It is a matter of historical accuracy and consistency. 31.200.15.66 18:28, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

That is due to that map being a translation of another one (the one mentioned as source). Feel free to upload a new version.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 06:50, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

I requested this from you, because I have no knowledge about SVG files. If you are not willing to correct this chronological inaccuracy, is it alright if I request a change from User:Don-Kun who originally uploaded the German version of this file? 31.200.13.46 14:08, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Naturally, any one can modify the map as per its license. However I would rather recommend you to try and make the change yourself instead of involving another editor. Basically all you would need to do is:

• Install inkscape (SVG manipulating program)
• Open the map in inkscape
• Open the layer list from the menu (if not already there)
• Click the fake test layer and delete it by clicking the - icon below the list of layers
• Click the eye icon on the real text layer to make it visible
• Double-click on the text you want modified to make it editable and change whatever you need
• Once the changes have been made, right-click on the text layer to show the layer menu and choose create a duplicate
• Click on the eye icon to make the text layer invisible
• Click on the duplicate text layer and do ctrl+a to select all its objects. All text will be selected.
• Turn the text into a path by choosing Path->Object to path from the top menu.
• Save the changes and upload the file as a new version of the map in Commons

You will see it is very very simple. It takes less than five minutes. I could certainly do it myself, but I would not like to give the impression I am available for file maintenance, even the ones I have uploaded to Commons...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 15:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Mapas de al-Andalus

Hola Rowanwindwhistler. Gracias por intentar mejorar estos mapas, pero debo decir que el texto así no queda bien. En el del califato se ha perdido el nombre principal (anteriormente en rojo), algunos nombres de ciudades se han alejado de la ciudad que identifican y en general el nuevo font no se adapta bien. Es mi opinión. Saludos, tyk (talk) 22:06, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Sí, pero es una opinión demasiado vaga para ser útil. ¿De qué mapa hablamos exactamente? «No quedar bien» no significa nada. Si he borrado algo por error, se puede añadir sin problema, pero hay que saber qué exactamente. ¿Qué nombres de ciudades se han alejado de la población y en qué mapa? ¿A qué tipo de letra se refiere exactamente (se usan varias en diversos mapas)? Esto se cambia en un momento, pero hay que saber a cuál nos referimos en concreto (si el problema es simplemente cambiar un tipo de letra por otro, tan simple como abrir el archivo y cambiar un nombre por otro). Sin datos concretos, no se puede corregir ningún error... No tengo problema en tratar de corregir cualquier error que se detecte, pero necesitaría los datos concretos para hacerlo.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 22:17, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Map projections

Sorry. I do not know what projections are. I made my maps in Photoshop using layers. Basically, I find some original base map from Internet or scanned from a book. Then I open empty layer in Photoshop and I manually draw new map over the original one (on empty layer). Sometimes I have to use more than one base map on several background layers, but I also adjust their size and position manually. PANONIAN (talk) 11:23, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

No, source maps are not saying anything about projections. Try creating SVG map with different options and one of them just might work. Sorry for late answer. PANONIAN (talk) 10:21, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Maps of Vietnam War

File:ReinoDeGalitzia.svg

Thank you for this file. By any chance, could you create an SVG version of this in English, or in other words - remake File:Kingdom of Galicia.png into svg? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 21:55, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

You can try creating the version yourself as the English text is available in the original file and SVG is a text file. All you need to do is open the file in a text editor (vi, geany, notepad...) and replace the Spanish text with the English one (you may want to use inkscape to do it, but it not really needed here). I would recommend waiting to see if these files get deleted though, to avoid wasting the effort if they are.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 05:55, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Mapas

Olá Rowanwindwhistler! Por acaso você gerencia alguma subpágina sua com todos os mapas que você criou/editou? Pergunto isso porque muitos mapas que eu tinha interesse em fazer versões em svg você já fez antes de mim e outros tantos que eu ia melhorar você já melhorou. Sabendo quais mapas você criou pouparia o trabalho de fazer novamente os mesmos mapas. Eu tenho tal página e você pode acessá-la aqui.--Renato de carvalho ferreira (talk) 02:32, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Hola. Me temo que una página especial no tengo (nunca he hecho una lista). Yo suelo usar esta, aunque no solo salen los mapas, sino todos los ficheros puestos en Commons (sean mapas o no). Quizá se pudiera hacer una consulta en Labs buscando los ficheros SVG que yo haya puesto en Commons y que en el dato de Fuente no mencione otro SVG, algo como esto pero con más condiciones, aunque tampoco mostraría todo (si es un SVG nuevo que utiliza otros SVG como base no aparecería). Un saludo.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 04:55, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Mapa de Eólida en SVG

Hola, Rowanwindwhistler: en otras ocasiones no he tenido problemas para modificar texto de imágenes en SVG, pero con File:MapaTopográficoDeAsiaMenor-Eólida.svg me veo incapaz de hacerlo, tras varios intentos realizados. ¿Podrías, por favor, arreglar varios topónimos en ese mapa? Son Magnesia del Sípilo, Metimna, Ereso, Antisa y Antandro.--Dodecaedro (talk) 10:22, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Corregido (salvo que se me haya escapado algo). No he tenido problema en cambiarlo, lo único que se me ocurre es que estuvieses tratando de cambiar el texto falso (hay dos capas de texto, una oculta [el verdadero texto] y otra visible [que es en realidad una curva] que añado para mejorar cómo aparece el texto en la Wikipedia —una limitación del código del SVG que hay en la Wikipedia—). Lo que hay que hacer en estos mapas es borrar la capa de texto (falso) visible, activar la de texto verdadero, cambiar lo que sea necesario, volver a ocultarla, duplicar la capa y transformar su contenido en curva (suena complicado pero se tarda menos de un minuto).--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 10:41, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Correction request File:Paises con mayoría cristiana.svg

In File:Paises con mayoría cristiana.svg, could you correct Azerbaijan because it is erroneously shown as a Christian majority country? The percentage of Christians in Azerbaijan is below 5% according to various academic sources and research companies. (It is shown as a nominally Muslim Shiite majority country in these sources, but it ranks among the least religious/most irreligious countries in the world according to these same sources as well.)

Thank you very much for your updates! You have not left out any country. This is my last request, I will not bother you any more: I messed up File:Map of state religions.svg by reverting it. I thought this edition was up to date. Alas, I found out that it is not. Reverting an SVG file is the only thing I am able to do with an SVG file (which I don't know how to edit and upload in the first place), with the unintended messy results. Could you update it like the other two SVG files, by copying the very same countries? Artoxx (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

I am afraid I do not understand the request: the countries (Argentina, Moldova, Slovakia and Cyprus) are already in grey in that map, if I am not mistaken.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 18:43, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes, you are right. The haphazard revert I did, indeed removed Argentina, Moldova, Slovakia and Cyprus. However, Haiti and the Dominican Republic erroneously appeared as having state religions (Roman Catholicism) in the same edition, even though according to their constitutions they don't and nor is there any special status for a particular religion. Can you remove them, which will fix this last error?

Thank you very much for your edition, but 25 minutes later another user incorrectly included state atheism for Communist countries in the map. Separate maps already exist for that. Can you revert it? (Georgia needs to be removed as it still appeared in the previous edition.)

In both File:Christian States.svg and File:State Religions.svg, El Salvador erroneoulsy appears, which needs to be removed because it doesn't have a state religion. Article 26 of the Constitution of El Salvador does not declare the Catholic Church as a state religion: "The juridical personality of the Catholic Church is recognized. The other churches may obtain recognition of their personality in conformity with the law". Source: http://confinder.richmond.edu/admin/docs/ElSalvador1983English.pdf

Thank you. Artoxx (talk) 23:52, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

You can revert to and older version yourself, you have the available versions at the bottom of the file page (along with the link to upload a new version). I suggest for these simple changes you take a look at inkscape, which is pretty easy to use for these colour changes (simply open the map in the program, click to select the object (country) whose colour needs changing, select the eyedropper tool (icon in the toolbar) to select a colour and click on any gray country. Save the changes & upload the new version. As easy as that).--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 10:07, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

¡Hola! He creado una versión en SVG que puedes traducir (el texto que se puede cambiar está oculto en una capa, pero en inkscape se puede eliminar el texto falso y cambiar el verdadero). Para hacer el rayado yo lo que suelo hacer es añadirlo a mano al fichero en un editor de texto, de otro mapa que lo tenga (este y este tienen código para hacer un relleno de rayas [busca "pattern"]) y luego en inkscape asignarlo al objeto (aparece como un patrón más una vez añadido el código al SVG). Puedes ver también el nuevo fichero del río, que tiene dos ejemplos sencillos. Fundamentalmente, son cuatro rectángulos girados un cierto ángulo y rellenos de dos colores que se repiten alternativamente. Seguro que hay maneras mejores de hacerlo, pero esta funciona...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 08:54, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

Pues, que recuerde, no, a menos que haya sido una traducción de alguno que ya existiese. No tengo mucho interés, lo siento.

So, please correct the map. Thank you.--Sa.vakilian (talk) 10:10, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

In File:DisgregaciónDElCalifatoAbasí-2.svg and File:Désintégration du califat abbasside.svg can you remove the de-facto borders within Moldova (Transnistria) and Georgia (Abkhazia and South Ossetia), and include only de-jure borders, just like Serbia, Western Sahara and Cyprus are shown in the same maps?

Thank you.

Maphobbyist (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Unfotunately I don't have any knowledge about editing and uploading SVG files, and live in a country called Turkey where Wikipedia is blocked and banned along with tens of thousands of other (overwhelmingly harmless and non-political) websites and even SVG programs are off limits for downloading in this country.

Também em file:Poland1020-pt2.svg--Renato de carvalho ferreira (talk) 07:21, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

La verdad es que no lo sé, a mí también me pasó con alguno de los mapas originales. Como los ficheros SVG parecen correctos (al menos no dan problemas ni en Inskape ni en Commons cuando se ven como SVG), sospecho que debe ser un problema de la conversión de Commons de SVG a PNG, quizá por los parámetros de las etiquetas de texto (si se crean etiquetas nuevas, no tienen exactamente los mismos parámetros ni en el mismo sitio que las que existen). La solución más sencilla (aunque quizá no la mejor) es crear un capa extra y transformar el texto en trayecto (es lo que hice con alguno de los mapas) y ocultar el texto verdadero. Si no, quizá alguien que sepa más de la estructura de SVG (aquí suelen conocerla) pueda averiguar porqué cambia el texto al convertir el fichero a PNG. Un saludo.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:23, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Do you have any shapefiles or GeoJSON for your maps?

Hi Rowandwindwhistler - love all of your maps. Thanks for your contributions.

I'm working with the WikiMaps group & am looking to build Wikimedia's volume of GIS-based data files for historical maps. Is there any chance you've built some maps in any GIS formats and then converted them to SVG? Or, do you have any georeferenced svg's? Thanks in advance for any help. --Jeffme (talk) 23:43, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

You are welcome. I sometimes use QGIS to generate a basemap that I later modify under inkscape (after exporting it to SVG format). Most of the work is done under inkscape, not QGIS (due to both speed and knowledge of the tool), though, even if the result is less accurate. I might have some maps saved as QGIS projects, but I doubt the main areas will be there, just the background (coasts, rivers, cities...), not the territories or borders (which I usually add as well I can in inkscape, by putting the vector layers on top of the original raster map). If you are interested in any map in particular, let me know and I will check what I have, just in case.

When I last tried georeferencing old maps some time ago I must say I was a bit frustrated. I did not know how to add points quickly (I do now, that is no longer a problem) and not knowing the projection of the original map made the fitting of the old map onto the vector layers a nightmare. This last drawback remains. As an example, I tried creating a georeferenced version of 450 roman-hunnic-empire 1764x1116.jpg (which seems to use a basemap I have seen in other William R. Shepherd maps as far as I can remember), but try as I may I cannot make a good fit (see here for EPSG: 102031) as I do not know which projection the original map uses.

If the QGIS project is useful, I could try georeferencing some of the maps, but I would probably need help with identifying the projections. Regards.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 07:57, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

p.i.a.

Concerning this edit, you might have noticed that the one person refering to you as a p.i.a. (me) is also the only one who agrees with your correct assumption concerning file renaming. I did say, too, later, that I regret calling you a p.i.a. If you require a more formal apology in the original thread, just ask.

Apologies taken, no need for further action, we all make mistakes (I more often than others).
