New FP nom?

I was looking through some of your Quality Images. Can you think of a likely reason why [File:Aursjøvegen towards Eikesdalen in Nesset, 2013 June - 2.jpg this photo] would be rejected for FP, or would you recommend that I nominate it?

All the best,

Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:04, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: Thanks for your nice idea which I really appreciate! For me it's a little hard to judge because for me it's just a quite alright picture of the said road with it's scenery. So it has been taken mainly for Wikipedia article purpose and I don't know if it seems extraordinary or not.

So, if you like the picture enough that you think it is FP worthy, you can do so! I myself find it difficult to view it from an objective point of view. --Ximonic (talk) 19:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I may nominate it and just see what others thing.

Picture for use in documentary Film about the history of Weather forecasting

Forgive me if I'm contacting you in the wrong manner, I am struggling to get my head around this page and can't seem to find a way to contact you directly!

We really love your image of 'Cumulonimbus calvus or Cumulonimbus capillatus as seen from Milano-Malpensa airport, we call this a 'cloud 9' and would like if possible to use it in our documentary film for broadcast on BBC4 in the UK. Please do let me know if this is ok? Unfortunatley we cannot put a caption on each image to credit the work as it would confuse the viewer to do this on all the archive pictures that we use, I do hope you understand. Please do let me know if this is ok, you can contact me on scott.ward@keofilms.com

Thank you and congratulations on your wonderful work.

Best Wishes

Welcome, Dear Patroller!

Counter Vandalism Unit

Hi Ximonic,

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use your help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons.

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Ximonic, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please do not tag redirects as {{speedy}}. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Hello

I mainly edit on Wikipedia. I came across your page through Wikipedia's main page as you have a picture there..congrats. I had a question you have a topicon on your user page that says show slideshow. how can I get that topicon on Wikipedia, is it some template? Please help me. Thanks VarunFEB2003 (talk) 12:42, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

@VarunFEB2003: Good question! I figured it has to be some kind of an integral part of Wikimedia Commons website code. I'm sure I haven't added that icon there and don't have any template for it. The icon seems to appear on every Commons page containing some images. I guess you should ask from some of the website layout editors as I don't know how to add such a function. Greetings, --Ximonic (talk) 16:17, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Website layout editors as in interface editors(or stewards)?? ThanksVarunFEB2003 (talk) 12:40, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Credit placement when using one of your photos as a real wallpaper

My employer is considering to use one of your photos as an image on a wallpaper on one of the office walls. If doing this, how would it be acceptable to credit you as the photographer? Would a small sign on an adjacent portion of the wall suffice? --Blazius (talk) 12:09, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

• Hi, an easily noticeable credit sign or text near by the picture is good enough. So that it doesn't leave a viewer person confused who made it. You can use my real name, Simo Räsänen, as Ximonic is not my official artist name by any means. --Ximonic (talk) 16:04, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Hi, they did indeed choose two of your pictures; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Raftsundet_panorama,_2010_09.jpg and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:View_from_a_ridge_between_Segla_and_Hesten,_Senja,_Norway,_2014_August.jpg ! I'll make sure to send you a picture of the finished result. Is the Raftsundet panorama available in any higher resolution, BTW? --Blazius (talk) 18:59, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
    • @Blazius: The panoramic from Raftsundet is one of my "older" ones. I'm not sure if I have the exact version in higher resolution but I can check. I have to find it from my earlier hard drives first, though. --Ximonic (talk) 22:45, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
  • @Ximonic: Your pictures are on the walls now - you can see the result at this Google Photos album. Hope you like it! We ended up printing them on aluminum plates, as this suited the rooms and worked better with the resolution of the pictures. Thanks! --Blazius (talk) 09:56, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign for User:The Photographer

Please excuse me spamming you, which concerns Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign. My contributions cover the architecture and culture of Brazil and Venezuela. I has basic photographic equipment: an old D300 camera and 35mm lens, and it is very expensive for me to acquire this equipment. I has recently taken several images using the technique where multiple frames are stitched together to create a high-resolution panorama. However, many times frustrated with the stitching errors that result from trying to take such photos without a proper panoramic head for his tripod. This special equipment permits the camera to be rotated around the entrance pupil of the lens, and eliminates such errors. Having a panoramic head would greatly increase the potential for The Photographer to create sharp high-resolution images for Commons. In addition, the purchase of a camera with a fisheye lens would enable 180 × 360° panoramas to be taken, which are a great way to explore a scene as though one is really there.

Please see the discussion about the Crowd-funding campaign on User talk:The Photographer#Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign and visit the Generosity Crowd-funding Campaign page to consider donating. Even a modest donation will make a difference if many people contribute. Thanks. --The Photographer 13:55, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
