RE: Mt. Feathertop

I thought I say some doubling in the grass and trees about 4 inches off the right edge. I just went back and looked at it, and it's entirely possible that I was wrong. 216.183.234.7 13:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Quaternion image

Hello, I just saw your illustration for the quaternion page . The picture is beautiful; however, as it is presented, it is improper for a mathematical page. An explanation of what it is supposed to illustrate about quaternion is required as well as the statement of the basic idea that led to its conception if not the exact algorithm. I must say that you thrill my curiosity with your picture. I hope my comment will help improve Wikipedia. You have made great contributions for animal pictures, and I think you will become an expert for mathematical illustration as well.

Your image used on WSJ website

FYI, your image has been used on the WSJ website. I don't know if this has been negotiated with you or not, but thought you would like to know. See here: [1] Also, I started a thread here: Image talk:Granny Smith Apples.jpg. Nice photography. Cheers. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:52, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

It certainly does..

..sound a bit distorted to me, what you write on COM:QI. Blanket oppose is quite a stretch, given that I outlined my reasons for opposing. QI encourages people to upload in the best possible quality they have, not some size barely large enough to get by with wikilawyering. Why do you downsample that much in any case? --Dschwen (talk) 14:16, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Transcluded user templates with embedded license templates

Hi Benjamin,

You transclude user templates with embedded license templates, which is not in compliance with Commons policy. Since you are one of several high quality contributors using this practise, I think it is worthwhile to debate whether it is the policy, which needs changing or whether your template transclusions should be adjusted such that they adhere to the policy. I have therefore prepared a draft User:Slaunger/Sandbox/COM:AN message to be posted on COM:AN to discuss this issue more openly.

Since I am mentioning you explicitly in my draft I think it would be most fair to let you see and review it before I post it and give you a possibility to correct any factual errors. I ask you not to open an actual discussion until I have posted it on COM:AN.

Best wishes, --Slaunger (talk) 13:40, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Benjamin, thanks for your message. I operate SlaungerBot, which is custom made for extracting the license template from transcluded user templates. The reason for the policy is to avoid what you just did mass changing images licensed under GFDL 1.2 or later to GFDL 1.2 only. This is in my opinion a very controversial move. Even if it is allowed, it is very unfortunate that such a restriction of the license for the reuser is not explicitly visible from the history of each file page and that is the reason why license templates should not be embedded in user templates transcluded onto file pages. As you probably know Fir0002 has done the exact same kind of move, which has been highly debated and also spun off into the (IMO generous offer by the Community) to opt out of the license migration. I dislike seeing this practise spread more, so I will bring it up at COM:AN to get a clarification once and for all if such a move is OK. --Slaunger (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

On second thought I chose the village pump instead. --Slaunger (talk) 19:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

The VP discussion ended in a clear consencus that changing from GFDL to GFDL-1.2 is not acceptable, cf. COM:L - licenses must not be revoked (you are revoking an already released GFDL ver. 1.3 and later versions in your change). I have therefore changed your license template back to GFDL. Note that if you would like to opt-out of the license migration to CC-BY-SA you can do that by specifying migration=opt-out in the template. But you better hurry as the official deadline was August 1, 2009. However, the opt-out window is still open as a courtesy from the Community. My offer to help yuou get your user template in compliance with Commons policy is of course still open. --Slaunger (talk) 19:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Fantails

Hi Ben, I have just been editing the wikipedia Grey fantail page, and was wondering whether you had any more good photographs. Specifically one showing the fanned tail better than my one File:Pied_fantail_01.JPG

and one of a nest or chicks that looks more natural than File:Grey fantail444.jpg (perhaps the originals it was composed from). Don't need to be large, well lit and sharp will do. :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 01:34, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

I've gotten dragged into this conversation about fantails. I was wondering if you could help me by telling me where this photo was taken - I am trying to work out which subspecies it is. Cheers. Sabine's Sunbird (talk) 20:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Benjamint444!

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.

Profile size and activity criterion for Commons:Meet our photographers

Dear member of Commons:Meet our photographers,

Two issues have recently been raised at Commons talk:Meet our photographers:

Profile size creep

The page is becoming increasing cluttered due to a tendency among some members to make personal profiles, which are unreasonably large. You are kindly requested to consider the size used by your profile and consider if it has a reasonable size. Note that the same message is being send to all members, so it is up to you to use your own good judgement in this. We are not interesting in setting up exact quantitatve rules. It should be a matter of common sense.

Activity criterion

It has been suggested to introduce an activity criterion in addition to the minimum 10 FPs criterion to be included on the list. You are kindly requested to voice your opinion on this proposal.

medium tree finch pic (female)

Hi The photo of a "female medium tree finch" that you uploaded to wikipedia is actually a small ground finch. The beak is very straight and pointed, unlike the curved beak of a tree finch. Plumage coloration is also a giveaway (female tree finches do dot have such striated coloration, and are a different shade of brown). Darwin's finches are hard to identify, but I am certain that you have uploaded an image that is not a tree finch. It would be great if you could remove the photo. Thankyou

Copyright status: File:Lavalizard-southplaza-female.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Lavalizard-southplaza-female.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. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (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. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

White Silkie photo

Hi, I am curious as to if the Silkie photo is a "show" quality bird or if it came from a hatchery quality stock. Thank you

Request for permission to use image

Dear Benjamint444, I'm a publisher from Namibia. I would like to use your imagee of the Koala bear with joey in our publication of Natural Science and Health Education Grade 5 Learner's Book. Please kindly get back to me via email: malimp@nph.com.na to discuss it further. Thank you. Warm regards, Patrycja.

File:Boer goat444 without tag.jpg

The goat listed as Boer seems to also be of Angora extraction, due to the curliness of the coat. Is it common to cross Angoras with Boers in Australia and just call them Boers? In the U.S. these crosses have been called "Boergoras".
