Fotky Prahy edit

Ahoj, I see that you are an active contributor to Commons in regards to Prague pictures. If you have time and if it interests you, i've drafted a list of needed pictures to document the city. Your input and your pics are more than welcome! Diligent

Of course, I can make some additional pictures, but next time I will be in Prague on Christmas time... I have many pictures on my computer, but I am too lazy to select them, upload them to commons and categorize them... ;-) I have some house signs in Nerudova Street, several houses (Municipal Library) and so on. --Ludek 09:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

chces-li, posli mi to a to uploaduji a kategorizuji. s pozdravem, r.

There is also problem that I have to combine one snap from several ones using program hugin. But yesterday I uploaded several new pictures. Mám psát česky nebo "anglicky"? --Ludek 15:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Psat muzes dle libosti. Ja pisu s gramatickymi chybami ale rozumim fajn ;-) nerozumim problem avsak :D Diligent

Problém je v tom, že některé ty obrázky musím nejprve složit pomocí programu hugin. Je to vlastně něco jako panorama. Například Image:Justicni palac.jpg se mi celý do fotoaparátu nevešel, musel jsem udělat dva snímky a ty pak "slepit" programem hugin.
Za chvíli nahraji pár domovních znamení. Nevím však, jak vhodně ty obrázky kategorizovat, tak se na to, prosím, podívej. --Ludek 21:39, 2 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Videl jsem to. I'm impressed as i don't know how to use this program and it seems, indeed complicated. But wow! Diligent

Diky predem za upload fotek. Zacinal jsem pouzivat ne Hugin ale Gimp a mohu konecne aspon opravovat "rovnost" (tilt) mych obrazu :-) thank you for the inspiraction. I see that you also inspired from me and prepared a template for the upload of your pictures - cool!... Diligent

Já právě fotky zatím nenahrávám z toho důvodu, že na počítači rodičů nemám gimp, takže nemohu upravovat křivky (curves). --Ludek 18:43, 25 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Prague edit

Hello,

Yes, Commons:Language policy states that categories are in English. So, knowledge of a single language allows to browse into the whole database. --Juiced lemon 18:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

You may propose a page move for various reasons, so I directly specified the reason in Category:Praha. I also modified the template, that I have explained in the village pump. --Juiced lemon 20:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Who, when, where and why (Praha x Prague) edit

Hello. I noticed you inserted template with text "It has been proposed below that Category:Praha be renamed and moved to Category:Prague.". Who, when, where and why has proposed such idea? Is there some rule about naming categories? In such case there should be written a link to concrete proposal or rule in that template. --Ludek 16:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hello,Yes, Commons:Language policy states that categories are in English. So, knowledge of a single language allows to browse into the whole database. --Juiced lemon 18:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot for your answer and explanation. Now I understand. Could you add this information to the template {{move}}, please? My knowledge of English language is not so good. --Ludek 19:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

There actually is no such policy. If you read Commons:Language policy it says exactly "The only content area where there is a consensus to use a single language is biology-related content (plants and animals), where latin binomial names are used. \n At present, this page is a summary of existing practice rather than a formal policy." All Commons:Language policy#Language_for_categories suggests is that a lot of people have chosen to use English, not that it is mandated. ¦ Reisio 20:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Languages for categories? edit

hello there, you had a question once on the usage of local language over English in categories. I have started a discussion page on this topic, maybe you want to drop by and give your thoughts? Commons:Language for categories. sincerely Gryffindor 12:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Jak cos zobacze, to zawsze staram sie utrwalic. Ale w Pradze (to takie miasteczko w Czechach, nie na Slowacji), skad jestem, juz prawie nie ma takich starych aut. --Ludek 16:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

little laugh edit

Ahoj Ludku, vse nej do noveho roku. I was laughing when i realized we both uploaded a picture of the main post office in prague. Nearly twin work ;-)

I've seen the impressive work you have done and i want to thank you! --Diligent 18:07, 1 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Děkuji za přání, i já Ti přeji všechno nejlepší v novém roce.
Někdo dnes modifikoval na české Wikipedii článek cs:Česká pošta, tak jsem si vzpomněl, že jsem vlastně v létě na poště fotil (i když se to nesmí, ochrana fotografy vyhání). Tak jsem to nahrál na commons. A večer jsem si všiml, že jsi zrovna dneska nahrál také dva obrázky, tak jsem z toho rovnou udělal kategorii... ;-).
Dnes jsem toho nahrál opravdu hodně, ale myslím, že Chrám sv. Mikuláše na Malé Straně, paláce a Pardubice si nechám na jindy, protože toho je také dost... --Ludek 19:49, 1 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Karlův most edit

You may not to warn me because the three reverts rule does not exist in Wikimedia Commons.

You don't know this project, since you also ignore the basic rule about language policy for categories. The reason for the move is clearly explained on the page Category:Karlův most. There is no concensus to find because the rule is a consensus result, and it is obvious for anybody that Karlův most is not an English name.

Administrators have to apply the rules, not to break them. If you don't agree the rules, change them, or leave this project. --Juiced lemon 12:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture edit

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kanal_augustowski_3.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely,  Duane Hurst in Utah, USA
