File naming

Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Please don't add - (dash) in file names specially in dates. Scripts and bots often change it to emdash which breaks the file name.-Tito Dutta (Send me a message) 04:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

The style of my file naming very well acccepted [example] format that contains place, date and the camera generated serial number with a neutral, informative and good looking. Very recent File:3 Gour Mohan Mukherjee Street - Kolkata 2011-10-22 6178.JPG was renamed by you! Renaming in this case is very much unjustified (as you mentioned "Scripts and bots often change" so you did !!!). I do not like to change unnecessarily file name as you mentioned "Scripts and bots often change". If Scripts and bots change a file name contains (-), that is problem with script, and the bug should be repaired. Thanks. -- Biswarup Ganguly (talk) 11:50, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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:

Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
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.
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

Your recent uploads :)

Hi. I noticed that you have uploaded a number of photographs today around an event that could possibly be considered newsworthy. It would be fantastic to see these pictures used on a WMF project.

I would like to extend an invitation to you to visit English Wikinews and include these articles in a photo essay. Examples of published photo essays you can use as a model can be found in the photo essays category.

English Wikinews allows original reporting, which means you can write about the event you attended where you took the photographs. This would allow you to get 5 to 20 of your newly uploaded photographs used in one place right away.

You can also submit photo essays on Spanish Wikinews (writing guide, example), Polish Wikinews and Russian Wikinews. You may also be able to submit photo essays to German Wikinews, Hebrew Wikinews, Norwegian Wikinews, Farsi Wikinews, Portuguese Wikinews and Japanese Wikinews.

Feel free to contact me on my Commons or my English Wikinews talk page if you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance.

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.

Hello BG, saw your great photos and thought I'd request you to snap a Maruti 1000/Esteem if you should come upon one. They look a lot like the car pictured on the right. And thanks for your shots in any case! mr.choppers (talk)^-en- 15:07, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, in today's Signpost article on WLM, I linked to one of your images—a superb one, in my view—but my system, at least, has trouble viewing it, even at low res. Is it my browser? (Safari for the Mac.) en:User_talk:Tony1 / Tony (talk) 08:32, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Tony,
I checked in Firefox and Chrome in Windows and Linux, I also did not find any thumbnail. The thumbnail of that image https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dadhimadhab_Mandir_-_Amragori_-_Howrah_2013-09-22_2849-2901.TIF was removed by User:McZusatz. I could not understand why it was done so! What is the benefit to reduce 25 MB space including thumbnail and original color profile and adding again 475 MB space? I did not make it .JPG because almost six times unique color would be lost! The mandir is one of the greatest terracotta architecture in Howrah district, I wanted not to loose any single color from the stitched hi-res photograph. Regards. -- Biswarup Ganguly (talk) 15:29, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

For the image to be useful, we need it to be accepted by our thumbnailers. As both (the PNG thubmnailer and the TIF thumbnailer) produce low quality (or no at all) thumbnails for very large files, would you mind uploading the file again in JPEG format to be used in articles and mobile phone browsers? (I can do it for you, if you want me to.) We also have appropriate templates to be placed on the file description pages: {{Archival version}} et. al. --McZusatz (talk) 15:56, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear McZusatz,
Thank you for reverting the state of the file. Yes, I shall upload that in .JPG very shortly as you advised. Regards, -- Biswarup Ganguly (talk) 16:15, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for taking part in the Wiki Loves Monuments participants' survey!

Dear Gangulybiswarup/Archive,

Thank you for taking part in the Wiki Loves Monuments participants' survey. Your answers will help us improve the organization of future photo contests!

In case you haven't filled in the questionnaire yet, you can still do so during the next 7 days.

And by the way: the winning pictures of this year's international contest have been announced. Enjoy!

Kind regards,

the Wiki Loves Monuments team
