Hello, Rock drum!
 
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

 

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Redundancy edit

Hi Rock drum, Category:Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) is a bit redundant to Category:Commons partnerships. Please think a bit about how you want to organize it before you add the category to a lot of pages. Multichill (talk) 18:40, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Rockdrum, why did you ask for rotation of File:GLAM-UK-2010-Akoopal-047.JPG, the picture was already upright? Akoopal (talk) 15:13, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorry! It didn't look right for me - which is why I requested rotation. I'm not sure why. :-/ Regards, Rock drum (talk • contribs) 15:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
Hi Rockdrum, I found out what is wrong now, the tools are now auto-rotating files, based on orientation tags, but sometimes they are not reset when rotated. Best to look at the full version what orientation it has, and if so just add {{rotate|0}}, that will reset the orientation tag. Akoopal (talk) 20:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Images from Herbert Art Gallery and Museum edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Hi, nice to see category:Images from Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. I have done some formatting to File:Baker KenilworthCastle HAGAM.jpg. I have also replaced {{Herbert Art Gallery and Museum-license}} with {{Herbert Art Gallery and Museum-license}}: it is more convenient to separate license from source and faithful reproduction of 2D objects are considered Public Domain on Commons. The template also adds Category:Images from Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. Actually we should not have a Category:Watercolours from Herbert Art Gallery and Museum but rather a category, Watercolours in the Herbert Art Gallery that could also include photos that were not provided by the gallery. Source categories are mostly useful for maintenance and should therefore be mostly flat. Let me know if you have remarks. Cheers.--Zolo (talk) 09:52, 27 January 2012 (UTC) (fixed typo --Zolo (talk) 19:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC))Reply

There are indeed subcategories in other source categories, but they normally serve some maintenance purpose (like helping to categorize images from very large donations). I see just two exceptions: Category:Images from the Deutsche Fotothek that is almost 5 years old and really needs some cleanup, and Category:Archivio Pietro Pensa that should also be reorganized to comply with Commons conventions (it does not even have a project page here). Subcats of source categories can be meaningful if they indicate something that make them different from other images from the same the source (e.g. Category:Images from Brooklyn Museum Flickr stream were not uploaded through the same process as other images from the same source and have subpar metadata). Is there anything special about watercolours that make them different from other images from Herbert Art Gallery ? If so, it should be stated in the category. Otherwise, the source of the image is of little concern to most end users and should interfere as little as possible with thematic categorization. If someone really needs to find watercolours from the Herbert Art Gallery, it should be rather straightforward to find them with catscan2 --Zolo (talk) 19:00, 9 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Admin withdrawal edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

A wise choice, one that confirms the good opinion your supporters have of you. Thank you for eliminating a difficult decision from whichever bureaucrat would have been faced with it. As it stood, your election, if it succeeded, would have created a very unfortunate precedent -- an Admin elected with literally no experience on 98% of what Admins do here.

If you spend a couple of months making thoughtful comments on a few hundred DRs, I would be happy to nominate you. Make no mistake -- that would not simply be make-work. Commons Admins make around 2,000 deletions each day and having reasonable comments from known colleagues allows us to work much faster and concentrate on the really hard decisions.

Although we have not crossed paths before, so I can say this only from the comments by your supporters, you apparently are doing very good work for Commons. Whatever your choice on becoming an Admin, thank you for that and please keep it up. We need all the good work we can get. Regards, .     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 21:11, 2 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I came here to say almost exactly what Jim said. I would add though that DRs are not the only route to demonstrating competence in Commons Admin fields. Patrolling new uploads, identifying which ones are problematic, and listing them for either speedy or DR, is another way to show you've got what it takes. Argualbally it's an even better way, because it means that you can spot problems yourself (while DR participation only shows that you're able to comment on things other people have spotted). You should read up on freedom of panorama, de minimis, and the Commons scope before you dive in. Feel free to stop on by my talk page or hit me up over IRC if you have any questions.

Mere text is ineligible for copyright edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Hi, I've just seen you marked as copyvio some images containing basically text. Mere text is not enough to meet threshold of originality, so images like these violate no copyright. Lobo (howl?) 22:53, 4 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

That is exactly backwards. Text beyond a few words is always subject to copyright unless it is exempt for being a government work or some other special reason. Since we deal mostly in images on Commons, we tend to forget that text -- "literary works" -- was the first subject of copyright.
"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." US Constitution, Article I, Section 8, clause 8.
.     Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 11:52, 5 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
You are right Jim, text is clearly eligible for copyright and it was a mistake pointing the opposite. But, in this case, whom copyright were violating the images? I thought it was just an information panel with no copyrightable ideas (hence the adjective mere, but I admit I didn't read carefully the text so I'm not sure about that beyond the name containing 'InfoBoard') and left such message not having in mind artistic works or alike. Do we have in Commons problems with information signs? Lobo (howl?) 18:36, 5 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, information signs with more than a few words of text have a copyright. In the USA, of course, copyright requires a (c) notice if the sign was erected before 1989 (although after 1977 registration could substitute for notice), and all signs erected by the Federal Government are OK. FOP covers text in Brazil, Croatia, Germany, Mexico, North Korea, Poland, Portugal,Slovakia, and Spain. But, if none of those apply, then a sign is a problem for us. With that said, we have a very great many signs on Commons that violate the rules -- no one seems very interested in starting a huge mass Deletion Request. .     Jim . . . .

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open edit

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:

  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

I think there is an issue regarding this video file—the State of the Union was, according to YouTube, 1 hour 1 minute long, and your video is just short of 10 minutes… (I'm converting the original 720p video to WebM right now, so this can be fixed.) odder (talk) 19:24, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

odder: Thanks for spotting this. Not sure how it happened... The whole file must have not been uploaded to the video converter tool. Thanks. Rock drum (talk • contribs) 19:39, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

September 2019: it's Wiki Loves Monuments time again! edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi

You're receiving this message because you've previously contributed to the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest in the UK. We'd be delighted if you would do so again this year and help record our local built environment for future generations.

You can find more details at the Wiki Loves Monuments UK website. Or, if you have images taken in other countries, you can check the international options. This year's contest runs until 30 September 2019.

Many thanks for your help once more! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:35, 3 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Important message for file movers edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 

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) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Books on a Shelf edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Some time ago I found one of your photos on Wikicommons. The title that I have in my notes is "Books on a shelf". It was a nice perspective view of old leather bound books, and met my needs better than anything else I saw on Wikicommons at the time, (or now for the matter). I've used in quite a bit (thank you for making it available), mostly as in genealogy works intended for my family.

I was working on one of those books today (its a very long term project) and realized I didn't have a link back to the original on Wikicommons. SO I went searching for it, and found that it is no longer available on WikiCommons.

Does that mean that I can no longer use the work, or perhaps I've got the wrong title? I like to credit things accurately, and I want to stay within the bounds of the original authors desires.

Can you tell me anything about this particular item and why its not on WikiCommons today? Is this something that you rather I not use?
