Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, FalconL!

Thanks edit

Thank for the speedy request, missed the .jpg .png difference. Screwed up :(. -- Cheers, Taketa (talk)

It´s a fundamental human right to make mistakes... :-) The only annoying thing is that the commons admins are as quick as tortoises. On dewiki, this speedyrequest would be executed in seconds! --FalconL ?! 13:46, 30 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:Roger Joseph Boscovich, bust.jpg edit

I appreciate the rename, but its naming scheme is now different from everything I've uploaded thus far, so I'd be far happier with the originally proposed "File:Roger Joseph Boscovich 20080225 0479" (or make it "File:Roger Joseph Boscovich bust 20080225 0479", for that matter). I've taken thousands of images overall, and at least two more images of the bust in question on the same day, so a slightly more elaborate scheme makes sense to me. Cheers, Branko Radovanović (talk) 19:28, 31 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

As suggested, I moved it to File:Roger Joseph Boscovich bust 20080225 0479.jpg, leaving behind a redirect at File:Roger Joseph Boscovich, bust.jpg. Cheers, FalconL ?! 13:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:IMF WEO CAB as %GDP.jpg edit

Thank you for the speedy renaming, but I made a mistake: the right name should be "IMF WEO CAB as percentage of GDP.jpg" (with an initial I that is now absent). Please rename it; thanks again.--Carnby (talk) 12:42, 4 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks; I also missed this little mistake. Regards, FalconL ?! 12:45, 4 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Renamed file objection edit

Hi FalconL. This is to remind you that you should follow the renaming guidelines when moving files. The following move does not appear to be in accordance with the guidelines: [1] Reason: Commons:File renaming#What files should not be renamed?. If you disagree with the this note, disregard it and let me know your reason. Thanks, --ZooFari 05:30, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think it´s OK because the old title File:Neustadt.jpg isn´t very describingful (it´s the name of the whole town, while the picture shows only a railway station (german: "Bahnhof")) . In addition, there are many, many "Neustadt"´s all over Germany, so the suffix "Sachsen" helps identifying which one it is. If such renames aren´t common practice, I´m sorry for it. I´m a relatively new file mover. The guidelines (which I of course already had red) aren´t clear enough about such renames, I guess.
If you disagree with my opinion, please write again. I´ll try to avoid such "grey area" renames in the future. --FalconL ?! 09:44, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Actually I noticed the page does not mention about such renames, so I've made a note on the talk page about whether these renames should be allowed. I agree that the page is not so specific, so I'll let you know what others think about such renames. You can disregard this note for now. --ZooFari 15:28, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

A file to be moved edit

If you want to do something, move File:Garten pflanze 16.JPG as described there. --Der Messer (talk) 07:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Done. But it would be good idea to give a reason when requesting {{rename}}´s. --FalconL ?! 11:12, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

File:Dwornisco Zicen.JPG edit

Hallo! Bitte verschiebe mein Bild wieder zurück auf den von mir gewählten Namen. Ich sehe nicht, mit welchem Recht und welcher Begründung du meine Namensgebung übergehst. Ich nenne meine Bilder so, wie es mir passt. Danke und Grüße, j.budissin+/- 08:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Ich habe diese Verschiebung nur deshalb durchgeführt, weil sie von User:Sandmann4u beantragt wurde und ich an seiner Begründung ("Offizieller Name") nichts auszusetzen hatte. Da du der Uploader des Bildes bist und den alten Namen für geeignet zu halten scheinst, nehme ich die Verschiebung zurück. Bitte beachte, dass ich mit der Verschiebung keinesfalls Kritik an dir üben wollte. Diese Verschiebung war für mich einfach nur eine von vielen, die wöchentlich anfallen. Für weitere inhaltliche Diskussionen über den Lemmatitel könntest du dich vielleicht auch an besagten Sandmann4u wenden, da ich in diesem Fall nur das ausführende Organ war. Wenn du möchtest, stehe aber natürlich auch ich für weitere Diskussion zur Verfügung. Grüße, FalconL ?! 15:16, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Nachtrag: Ich kann die Verschiebung momentan leider nicht rückgängig machen, da Sandmann4u dankenswerterweise auf das alte Lemma einen SLA gestellt hat und somit der Seite eine neue History verschafft hat, was mich als Nicht-Admin am Verschieben hindert. Für die Rückverschiebung müsste ich also zuerst wieder einen SLA stellen, der sicherlich auf verwunderte Rückfragen stoßen würde und somit erheblichen bürokratischen Aufwand bedeuten würde. Deshalb frage ich dich: Legst du sehr wert auf die Rückverschiebung? Falls ja, würde ich sie natürlich in die Wege leiten, aber ich wäre auch froh, wenn ich es nicht müsste. Grüße, FalconL ?! 15:21, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Danke für deine Antwort. Ich stehe momentan mit Sandmann und 32X als Admin in Kontakt, du musst dir also keine großen Gedanken darum machen. Auf den ersten Blick hatte es so ausgesehen, als sei es deine Entscheidung gewesen, also entschuldige bitte meinen etwas ruppigen Ton in der Anfrage. Mir geht es hier allerdings auch ums Prinzip, daher werde ich auf einer Rückverschiebung bestehen. Ich sehe es nicht ein, weshalb es Sandmann für nötig erachtet, Bildtitel ändern zu lassen, nur weil sie ihm nicht genehm sind. Zum Glück bin ich da nicht der Einzige, wenn ich mir seine Diskussionsseite ansehe. Grüße, j.budissin+/- 15:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
Ja, Sandmann hat in den letzten Tagen ein regelrechtes Flooding mit rename-Anträgen durchgeführt, die größtenteils strittig waren. Er scheint es allgemein mit den Lemmata übertrieben genau zu nehmen. Zwar war er es, der die Anfrage gestellt hat, aber trotzdem entschuldige auch ich mich für die mangelnde Überprüfung, denn das ist ja eigentlich die Hauptaufgabe von uns filemovern. Vor dem Hintergrund des Verhaltens von Sandmann kann ich deinen Wunsch um Rückverschiebung nachvollziehen. Jedoch wäre ich dir dankbar, wenn du das direkt mit 32X oder einem anderen Admin regeln könntest. Grüße, FalconL ?! 16:08, 13 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
kleine Info: User talk:Sreejithk2000#File renaming - daher bitte Commons:Dateien verschieben#Commons:Dateien verschieben beachten. Sandmann4u scheint da eine eigene Art der Auslegung zu haben ...Sicherlich Post 09:17, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Only Image-reviewers and Administrators are allowed to review files! --FalconL ?! 09:38, 16 April 2011 (UTC) edit

I just see a "FlickrFixr ok other bad" link on that page , as i know the license given was correct , i clicked it . And if i wish to review the license(reviewer) ,what should i do.Thank you. -- Raghith (talk) 09:49, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hm, the only thing you could do is to wait until any reviewer or admin reviews the files - This is usually done in a few days. Regards, FalconL ?! 09:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I requested for a "reviewer" status. Will you help me out there . Thank you.

File:Eilenburg Bahnhof RE-Zug.jpg edit

Bildbezeichnung ist irreführend, da das Bild so gut wie nichts vom Bahnhof zeigt, im Gegensatz zu der von mir in den Dateinamen eingetragenen Lokomotive und dem Zug. Wo ist also das Problem? --Sandmann4u (talk) 12:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Das Lemma ist imho nicht sonderlich irreführend, da ausdrücklich "RE-Zug" darin steht. Selbstverständlich ist dein Name besser, aber die Umstände erfordern keine Verschiebung. Ich denke, du wurdest schon häufig genug auf die Renaming guidelines hingewiesen... --FalconL ?! 07:36, 27 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Und ich bleibe bei dem, was ich bereits mitgeteilt habe. In den von euch allen so of zitierten renaming guidelines, steht nichts davon, so schwammige Dateinamen nicht präzisiert werden sollen/dürfen. Ja, ich habe mir diese durchgelesen. Das wichtige ist weiterhin, dass das die Zahl 143 für die Baureihe nicht vorkommt, spezifischer die Loknummer.Sandmann4u 11:46, 29 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Alexander Garnaev edit

I fully agree that "let's assume it is" is nowhere near good enough, but I had to put something in to replace the licensing information that applied to the photo of a village in Poland. DS (talk) 14:48, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I fully understand that. But I think somebody with more knowlegde should check it - for legal reasons. Regards, FalconL ?! 14:52, 28 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Move... edit

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

Picture of the Year 2013 R1 Announcement edit

Important message for file movers edit

 

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
