Please timestamp your screenshots

Hi!

I am trying to work on the backlog for YT reviews, and it would really be great if you could timestamp the screenshots you take from YT video's... For instance for this one, I am failing to find the image captured in the linked video: can you help me by providing the timestamp of the YT video that the screenshot was taken? Thanks! Ciell (talk) 10:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

@Ciell: Sorry for the confusion! The wrong video was used as the source. I've corrected it. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 15:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

On pictures by user Eloibg

Hi @Pbrks. I reach you because of the deletion tags on the files by @Eloibg, which is a user that I am mentoring now on ca.wiki and Commons. There's a mix of two circumstances:

1. Images that do really have no proper OTRS permission and should be deleted: Eloibg requested a picture when taking a free voice sample from those people, and they provided him a professional image from the TV archive, which indeed has no written authoritzation from the broadcaster's (TV) archive. These files are: File:2014 TV3 ImmaPedemonte.png (from 2014), File:1991 RamonPeris Petri-monopatí.jpg (1991), and File:2000 MariPauHuguet.jpg (2000). I kindly request their immediate suppression as they are currently a copyright violation.
2. However, as a fellow wikipedian, I can give proof that Eloibg works for the Catalan National public TV (Corporació Catalana de Mitjans Audiovisuals, CCMA) and has direct access to the TV sets and their public figures, from which he directly took the other pictures marked as suspected: File:20221223 324 EsteveSolerGranel.jpg, File:20221229 PereEscobarRoyo.jpg, File:20221219-TV3-CEI-PlatóEsports-LluísCanutPermanyer.jpg, and File:2022 MartaRomagosa-CatRàdio-CatI Tarragona.jpg. These files are legit artworks from the user, and therefore they should be kept in the project. In fact, a search of his real name on Google yields him working there (I don't think there's a need for disclosure of his full name, until explicitly asked).

I will follow up on @Eloibg's uploads until he has a bit deeper knowledge on the licensing. There's a chance to agree on a partnership with the CCMA, and that would probably go along with massive OTRS permissions and an institutional account for the uploads. Best! Xavier D. (Messages) 20:36, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

I tagged myself the first group for a speedy delete and removed the warnings for the second group. Kind regards and thank you for your patrolling tasks! Kind regards. Xavier D. (Messages) 12:08, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@Xavier Dengra: Hello. I don't think that was the correct thing to do in this case. Even if Eloibg has access to these images, they are still not the copyright holder of these works. These items still need verification through COM:VRT. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 15:00, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@Pbrks: hi again. What do you mean? While for the case 1 those images must be suppressed as a clear copyright (clear mistake), in case 2 he is the intellectual and material author of those pictures. He works in that place and he is the person who took them with his phone as a Wikipedian. Whatever comes in the future as a massive multimedia cession from the archives of the broadcaster, after a possible agreement, is completely another story. But he has the rights to walk around the sets and to post and release his personal pictures under the CC-0 (same way he does for the audio files dedicated to the voice intro project). Best, Xavier D. (Messages) 15:23, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@Xavier Dengra: I see, my mistake, I misread your original comment. Everything looks good, I see his Twitter account as well has reposted some of the images after uploading them on Commns, and I see no reason to distrust that he is indeed the copyright holder. Thanks for you patience, cheers! – Pbrks ^(t • c) 18:43, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you once again for engaging with this topic and for your work here in Commons patrolling thousands of pictures. Well done, happy to contribute with colleagues like you :) Xavier D. (Messages) 19:31, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Categories renaming

Greetings. If you're renaming categories, please also update P373 property in linked Wikidata items, like this. Otherwise Wikipedia articles (like ru:Smix) would have wrong link in infoboxes. Facenapalm (talk) 03:43, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

@Facenapalm: Hello. Sorry, I thought that was automatically updated. Thanks for letting me know! – Pbrks ^(t • c) 03:53, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks!
For some reason Wikidata has two links to Commons, the first one is set as an interwiki, and the other one is set as a property. Only the first one is updated automatically. Unless there's some bot I don't know about. Facenapalm (talk) 04:06, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Cite image for masters thesis

Hello

I am writing a masters thesis and I would like to use on of your drawings, from the Manifolds Wikpedia page. It is one of the most clear drawings that I have seen (which I thank you for). Although it is not allowed to cite wikipedia content (this is not a hard rule, but a strong suggestion). Is there another way I can cite you for the image so that I can still use it in my masters thesis?

The image I am talking about: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Circle_with_overlapping_manifold_charts.png

I thank you in advance! 2A02:1812:173C:A210:C90B:3E8:6E50:58FA 00:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

@2A02:1812:173C:A210:C90B:3E8:6E50:58FA: Hello. Wikimedia Commons, where this file is hosted, is just an image repository. I am sure you will be using the image simply as a visual aid to describe manifolds, so I would not worry too much about using Wikipedia as a source of information, since you really are not. I would recommend citing the image in the following manner:

Circle with Overlapping Manifold Charts (c) Ryan Wilson (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Circle_with_overlapping_manifold_charts.svg). CC BY-SA 3.0.

Of course, speak with your advisor about this. If this something you are not comfortable doing, you can cite it as

Ryan Wilson, personal communication. CC BY-SA 3.0.

Let me know if you have any questions. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 01:59, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

License review

I was wondering if you could review files: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Adassa_in_2021.png https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Darrow_in_2021.png and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Swae_Lee_in_Feb_2019.png ? Shoot for the Stars (talk) 19:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

@Shoot for the Stars: Done. In the future, if you are capturing images from YouTube, you should upload them as JPGs, and not PNGs. PNGs do not scale well when creating thumbnails and are much larger in file size. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 21:14, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the review. Also, thank you for letting me know about the YouTube files. I had no idea having them as PNG would make them worse. From now on, I'll upload images from YouTube using JPG. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 21:25, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

player identification starcraft 2

Hi there, I tried to help a little recently with categorizing esports player pictures. I just stumbled upon File:RiSky at HomeStory Cup XV - 04.jpg and File:RiSky at HomeStory Cup XV - 05.jpg. You uploaded these and they are supposed to show RiSky. However I'm like 99% certain its Category:PtitDrogo. Its hard to find any pics of Risky on the www this is the only I found at first glance but they dont really look alike. Since I'm not 100% sure I thought its better to ask, if you agree feel free to move and rename the pictures in question. Regards User:Tmv23 (talk) 08:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

@Tmv23: I'm inclined to agree, thanks for catching that! – Pbrks ^(t • c) 00:16, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

quick follow up: how do you feel about Category:Esports players from Seoul? It seems like its hard to find place of birth for lots of Korean players, and those two surely arent the only ones from Seoul. You think we should get rid of the category or double down and create Esports players from Busan etc. as well? Regards User:Tmv23 (talk) 23:11, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

@Tmv23: Personally, I don't think it adds any value to subcategorize any further past "from South Korea". And like you said, actually finding, and verifying, that information would be difficult. I'd be all for deleting the "from Seoul" category. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 00:05, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

alright. I replaced the Seoul category for both players, feel free to delete the Seoul category (id have to look up how to do exactly), also i just realized you introduced a new class of categories for a players team and got to letter C so far. I wont interfere with that, I probably wont have much time to edit stuff now on the weekend anyways, so lets just see how far youve by start of next week. :D User:Tmv23 (talk) 01:03, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

@Tmv23: Yes, I saw that you were categorizing players into their teams' categories (thanks for starting that!), and figured it would be a good idea. I got to C... for just League of Legends players, so its gonna take a bit of time to get it all done. Of course, you're more than welcome to help when you have time! – Pbrks ^(t • c) 04:52, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Plus: File:FireZerg at 2013 MLG Spring Championship.jpg, File:Hendralisk at 2013 MLG Spring Championship.jpg — looks like the same person to me, I assume both of these photos are picturing hendralisk Facenapalm (talk) 17:05, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

@Facenapalm: You're right, fixed! – Pbrks ^(t • c) 00:40, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

to clarify our modus operandi: if a player has played for a couple of (huge/relevant) Teams -- say A1 B2 and C3 -- we now add Category:A1 player, Category:B2 player and Category:C3 player to his Category (or even the division if he plays for EG) , but do we still add additional Category:B2 player to a certain picture where the player has a B2 jersey on or is that considered redundant then? User:Tmv23 (talk) 00:23, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

@Tmv23: Yes, if Category:Player X is a subcategory of Category:Team A Players, then no images in Category:Player X should be in Category:Team A Players, as that would be overcategorization. However, an image may still be categorized with Category:Team A at EVENT or Category:Team A in 20XX, e.g. Category:Evil Geniuses in 2012 and Category:Evil Geniuses at The International 2018. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 01:03, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading StarCraft photos

Was planning to upload a couple of Flickr albums to Commons and noticed you've already processed all of them. That's insane amount of work. Thanks for your dedication and effort. Facenapalm (talk) 00:59, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

@Facenapalm: Thanks, it certainly did take a bit of time :) – Pbrks ^(t • c) 13:29, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
