Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Gts-tg!

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 when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. 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.

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 find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. 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. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Permissions

I believe that the declaration from you that (The author has granted permission to the uploader) is not enough. There has to be an OTRS ticket, based on email sent from the author to permissions@wikimedia.org . --FocalPoint (talk) 20:38, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Yours sincerely, Yann (talk) 09:45, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Yann, the pictures in question have not been retrieved from the respective blogs but provided to me via the original authors via email(all of the pictures are high res vs the blog ones), after I contacted them in order to have their work published under a free licence(CC-BY-SA-4) in the respective Wikipedia pages. I am currently educating myself over the OTRS requirements/process as another user pointed out to me; Should I create an OTRS ticket based on the email correspondence I had(e.g. forward it to the permissions email, email is in Greek) or should I ask the authors to send one themselves at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org based on the Commons:Email_templates#Declaration_of_consent_for_all_inquiries? Gts-tg (talk) 17:39, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, better to ask the authors to send email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, with cc to you (so that you are sure it happens). The email can be in Greek, since there is at least one member in the OTRS team of the Commons who is Greek (Badseed), but if it is in English, it is better. You can propose the letter to the authors to make it easier for them. --FocalPoint (talk) 18:29, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

A small correction: You cannot create an OTRS ticket. It is created by those who have volunteered to monitor the emails sent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org . --FocalPoint (talk) 18:34, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

If Yann has a different opinion, I am sure he will let you know. --FocalPoint (talk) 18:31, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

Please complete the procedure as FocalPoint said. And yes, it is better if the discussion happens on Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Gts-tg. You can add that page in your watchlist. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

File:Griechischen und phönizischen Kolonien.jpg

The description says 4th century B.C. The legend says 8th to 6th century B.C. This difference of 200 to 400 years means that something in this map is seriously wrong! -- Ies (talk) 15:30, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

I agree, my own changes had to do with Vergina and Aige marked as 'non-Greek'(see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedonia_%28ancient_kingdom%29 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Macedonians for this matter) so it makes me suspicious about how the rest of the map is laid out. Also, I don't quite like how it says Greek colonisation as the title and includes Phoenician as well, plus it has all the Greek cities in mainland Greece mapped as colonies of..themselves?

Deleted content

---

Hello Gts-tg, the following content you uploaded violates one or more of our policies and therefore has been or will soon be deleted:

File:Church of John Chrysostom in Vari, Kefalonia, Greece.jpg

The Wikimedia Commons (this website) only hosts media files with a realistic educational purpose and that can be used for any purpose, including:

• use in any work, regardless of content
• creation of derivative works
• commercial use
• free distribution

See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons, and Commons:Image casebook for some specific examples. Some other Wikimedia projects have different licensing policies. For example, the English Wikipedia allows fair use of sounds and photographs. This is not the case on Wikimedia Commons; "fair use" materials are not acceptable here.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted. Again, please read through Commons:Licensing, which is quite crucial, to understanding how Wikimedia Commons works. Thanks for your contribution, and please do leave me a message if you have further questions.

File:Anonymus Londinensis V 23-45.jpg

 

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:Anonymus Londinensis V 23-45.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. ~riley (talk) 09:16, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

File:Panoramic view of Constantinople, Rigas Charta, 1797.jpg

Καλημέρα,

• Είσαι σίγουρος ότι οι επεξηγήσεις στην πρώτη εκδοχή [1] δεν αφορούν την εικόνα; Εκ πρώτης όψεως μου φαίνεται ότι αντιστοιχούν στους αριθμούς. Τώρα γιατί έχει δύο διαφορετικές στήλες με διαφορετικές περιγραφές δεν καταλαβαίνω. —Ah3kal (talk) 08:31, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

• Σε περίπτωση που συμφωνείς, μην το αναστρέψεις στην πρώτη έκδοση, γιατί στο μεταξύ αφαίρεσα το υδατογράφημα και αποκατάστησα τα σχισίματα από το δίπλωμα, και έχω και την ολόκληρη έκδοση έτοιμη για ανέβασμα.—Ah3kal (Talk) 08:54, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Ah3kal ρίχνοντας το πάλι μια προσεκτική ματιά νομίζω πως υπάρχει ένα γενικότερο λάθος και πως ανακάλυψα τι γίνεται. Βλέποντας το πλήρες φύλλο (File:Χάρτα_του_Ρήγα_-_1797_-_Φύλλο_1.pdf) η αρίθμηση αριστερά της πανοραμικής παράστασης δεν αντιστοιχεί στην πανοραμική παράσταση αλλά στον μεγάλο χάρτη ακριβώς από πάνω ο οποίος έχει αρίθμηση των πυλών περιμετρικά των τειχών. Τα ονόματα όντως αντιστοιχούν σε πύλες, και η επικεφαλίδα (Αἴ πόρται τῆς Πόλεως) το επιβεβαιώνει επίσης. Η σωστή αρίθμηση για την πανοραμική απεικόνιση είναι αυτή από δεξιά. Θα το φτιάξεις εσύ που το δουλεύεις τώρα, ή να το κάνω εγώ αργότερα; Gts-tg (talk) 17:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Μην το ανεβάσεις, το έχω σχεδόν έτοιμο, θα αφαιρέσω απλώς την αριστερή περιγραφή. —Ah3kal (Talk) 19:23, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

• Ένα άλλο ζήτημα: File:Κοιμώμενος Λέων - Χάρτα του Ρήγα - 1797 - Φύλλο 1.jpg. Ανέβασα καινούργια έκδοση όπου: (1) το ξαναέκοψα από το αρχικό γιατί έλειπε ένα ελάχιστο κομμάτι από το κάτω μέρος (2) αφαίρεσα το υδατογράφημα και επιδιόρθωσα το σχίσιμο και (εδώ είναι το ζήτημα 3) αφαίρεσα τις διπλανές απεικονίσεις (νομίσματα, τμήματα κειμένου κτλ) που είναι άσχετες με το λιοντάρι. 1&2 είναι αντικειμενικές βελτιώσεις οπότε δεν υπάρχει πρόβλημα, όμως το 3 είναι invasive, προσωπικά θεωρώ πως αφού αποκόπηκε για να δείχνουμε το λιοντάρι θα πρέπει να φαίνεται μόνο αυτό, όμως μπορώ εύκολα να κατανοήσω τον αντίλογο ότι πρέπει να φαίνεται (έστω και κομμένο) ότι ήταν δίπλα του. Αν διαφωνείς λοιπόν που το επιφόρτωσα πάνω από το αρχικό, μπορώ να το ανεβάσω ως νέο αρχείο, και απλά πες μου να ανεβάσω στη θέση αυτού μόνο τις διορθώσεις 1&2 (για τις οποίες υποθέτω δεν υπάρχει πιθανός αντίλογος). —Ah3kal (Talk) 15:55, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Ωραία το 1 και 2, αλλά όντως το 3 είναι κάπως αμφιλεγόμενο. Νομίζω πως είναι καλύτερα να το διατηρήσουμε με τα άλλα νομίσματα δίπλα όπως το αρχικό σχέδιο, ωστόσο μπορούμε να έχουμε και αυτή την έκδοση ως εναλλακτικό αρχείο και καθαρή εκδοχή. Σε σχέση με την αφαίρεση των υδατογραφημάτων, αφαιρώ και εγώ μερικές φορές με το Gimp, οπότε στην περίπτωση αυτή πως το έκανες, υπομονή pixel pixel με cloning γειτονικών περιοχών ή κάποιο άλλο καλύτερο τρόπο; Gts-tg (talk) 17:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Πειράζω τα level στο σημείο που είναι το υδατογράφημα μέχρι να έρθει στα ίδια χρώματα με το απέξω, οπότε δεν χρειάζεται στα εσωτερικά σημεία παραπάνω επεξεργασία, μένει μόνο το περίγραμμα του υδατογραφήματος για επιδιόρθωση με cloning κτλ. Οκ, λοιπόν μάλλον καλύτερα έτσι, θα τα ανεβάζω σε ξεχωριστά αρχεία τα καθαρά και ως νέα έκδοση μόνο με τα 1&2. Μόνο που το συγκεκριμμένο επειδή το έσωσα μόνο στην τελική μορφή θα πρέπει να το ξανακάνω από την αρχή, οπότε σε 1-2 μέρες :/ —Ah3kal (Talk) 19:23, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Επειδή η Χάρτα είναι θέμα που πάντα με ενδιέφερε, σκοπεύω σιγά σιγά να τα φτιάξω όλα (υδατογραφήματα και «ράψιμο» στις αλλοιώσεις από το δίπλωμα, καθώς και νέα σύνθεση των κομματιών σε ένα μεγάλης ανάλυσης αρχείο. Οπότε αν ασχοληθείς με κάποιο (επειδή ήδη έχω κάνα δυο ξεκινημένα), για να μην κάνουμε διπλό κόπο, ειδοποίησε με για να υπάρχει συντονισμός. Θα ήθελα να μπορώ να κάνω και τέτοιου είδους αναπαλαίωση: File:California island Vinckeboons.jpg → File:California island Vinckeboons5.jpg, αλλά προς το παρόν είναι πάνω από τις δυνάμεις μου. —Ah3kal (Talk) 19:23, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Gts-tg,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Μάριος Βάρβογλης - Marios Varvoglis.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Μάριος Βάρβογλης - Marios Varvoglis.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:Μάριος Βάρβογλης - Marios Varvoglis.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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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!

Texniths (talk) 09:48, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Texniths the source of the file was LivePedia (Magenta encyclopedia content) at the time when it was still offering it's contents under GFDL. I noticed that Livepedia is dead now so I have updated the file source with a copy from the WayBackMachine link (the image itself is not available though). Gts-tg (talk) 00:33, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Texniths I had a further think about this and probably it would be best to be deleted anyhow as there is too much uncertainty on whether it really is GFDL or not. If necessary this can be transferred over to local wikis under Fair Use policy but not in Commons. Gts-tg (talk) 00:58, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. There is uncertainity, that it was taken at least 70 years ago, since he died in 1967. But, surely, fair use in local wikis would be a much more safe solution. --Texniths (talk) 06:52, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Texniths I have nominated the file for deletion as per the uncertainty of the licence. However there is a source (updated to Wayback) so there isn't a missing source problem. Gts-tg (talk) 16:18, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

What do you prefer?

Gts-tg, you have uploaded two times the same image with a small difference in name (name surname and surname name):

• File:Χάρτης της Κύθνου - Millo Antonio - 1582-1591.jpg
• File:Χάρτης της Κύθνου - Antonio Millo - 1582-1591.jpg

I proposed one of them for deletion.

1. Which name do you prefer we keep?
2. Is there a chance that there are other files with the same issue? Please check -you would probably know better how to find them easily and fast

--FocalPoint (talk) 19:01, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

FocalPoint on 2, probably, but I wouldn't be able to tell quickly as it's likely that most of the dupes already existed as dupes within the source where I got to get them from. Gts-tg (talk) 19:05, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

File:Frontispiece - Breydenbach Bernhard Von - 1486.jpg

Hi Gts-tg, could you please provide your source for that image. The source that you did provide has a different image. --Pp.paul.4 (talk) 12:25, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi Pp.paul.4, the file should have been available in the source provided, but I just checked myself and I can't see it either. Given that the image in question is dated at 1486, and the one available in the source is 1502 (also uploaded in the same batch of uploading 25 March 2016 at File:Frontispiece_-_Breydenbach_Bernhard_Von_-_1502.jpg as the other image), I would think that the image was probably removed from the source.

File:Portable sundial, Memphis, Roman Egypt, 4th century AD (reconstruction).jpg

Hello. Are you sure of the identification of the sundial in File:Portable sundial, Memphis, Roman Egypt, 4th century AD (reconstruction).jpg? It should be another portable sundial, the one in the Science Museum [8]. Could you please check and change the identification if this is the case? --Sirmione65 (talk) 23:08, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Sirmione65 yes, the description has been added according to the caption that the exhibit was displaying. I had a look at the page you suggested and it turns out they are identical. E.g. among the various images it contains (some of them are of the background), have a look at [9] which displays the front, and cross compare it with File:Portable sundial, Memphis, Roman Egypt, 4th century AD (reconstruction).jpg. You can tell its the same item by the upper left smaller dial (figures around it), and by the writing of the months in Greek around the larger dial. Gts-tg (talk) 17:14, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Yes, that was my very point, the one in the picture and the one on the Science Museum page are the same, but the one in the Science Museum is not the Memphis one. I am quite confident it has been mis-labelled. --Sirmione65 (talk) 19:54, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Sirmione65 ok, so you mean that the one in the w:Science Museum, London is not from Memphis, and that the item's caption in the w:Thessaloniki Science Center and Technology Museum was mislabeled. But how can you be certain that the Science Museum one is not from Memphis? It mentions 'Middle East' which can be a bit general and not definitive. Furthermore, there could be multiple copies of the item spread to different locations in antiquity. In other words, is there something that can sufficiently demonstrate that this reconstruction cannot be possibly based on an item found in Memphis? Gts-tg (talk) 20:03, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I am actually pretty sure the label is wrong, because the one shown in the picture is the Science Museum one, usually called "Byzantine sundial", while the Memphis one is different. Yes there are several of them, but they are different from each other, therefore it is possible to distinguish them. They are described in a book this one. The Memphis one is actually shown in this paper, page 19 [10], while the Byzantine one is at page 22, same paper. --Sirmione65 (talk) 19:41, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Sirmione65 this makes things clear. I've also found the book you referenced (https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Ff-CDQAAQBAJ&pg=PA30&lpg=PA30&dq=Hermitage+Museum+memphis+sundial&source=bl&ots=3lCuXn95lV&sig=ACfU3U0mVIfQFO6Y_i-wXBMIKWII0lfNOQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj02PKDj7fuAhVQC-wKHQeEC4QQ6AEwFHoECBYQAg#v=onepage&q=Hermitage%20Museum%20memphis%20sundial&f=false) and it shows that the Hermitage museum item (that the reproduction in the picture mentions that it was based on) is really the Memphis calendar. I've made a request for renaming and added the relevant notes in the description. Gts-tg (talk) 13:00, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I am back with another probable mis-labelling. But let me state clearly, first, that I appreciate a lot your taking these pictures and sharing them here on Commons, thanks a lot!

I stumbled upon File:Byzantine astrolabe at Brescia, 5th century AD (reconstruction).jpg, which is dated to the 5th century, but seems much later. If this is the Brescia astrolabe, it is actually from the 11th century (1062, to be precise, you can check it in this paper). Incidentally, someone else noted this mislabelling too: [11]

Best regards! --Sirmione65 (talk) 11:46, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Sirmione65 thanks for your kind words, and as for any mistitlings do bring them on. I've made a request to rename the file and added comments with regards to the original museum caption (..hopefully this will offer some soothing to the disappointed Haverford staff).

Btw, if I remember correctly, most of these items are on loan from http://kotsanas.com/gb/ . Gts-tg (talk) 12:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

South Sudan border

Hello.

Can you add the white international border for South Sudan which became independent in 2011 in File:World alphabets & writing systems EL.svg, File:World alphabets & writing systems ES.svg and File:World alphabets & writing systems.svg? It is still shown as part of Sudan in these maps.
