Aide-mémoire edit

Jazz Messengers edit

Bonjour, qui sont les musiciens sur l'image des Messengers? Probablement: Terence Blanchard tr, Donald Harrison as, Jean Touissant ts, Lonnie Plaxico b et Mulgrew Miller p (pas sur l'image). Est-ce que ce peut etre correcte? Merci pour l'image. --de:Benutzer:Roomsixhu avec l'article de:Jazz Messengers

Jean Toussaint est bien au saxophone et Terence Blanchard à la trompette. Pour les autres, je ne suis pas absolument sûr. Il faudrait que je fasse des recherches. J'essaierai de vous trouver les renseignements. Cordialement. Teddy 09:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC) 16:59, 11. Apr. 2007 (CEST)Reply
Merci beaucoup. A voir qui sont le bassiste et le sopranosaxophoniste. Ou est-ce que c´est un alto linéare? --de:Benutzer:Roomsixhu
Tout arrive ! J'ai retrouvé mes notes. En plus de Art Blakey (batterie), Terence Blanchard (trompette) et Jean Toussaint (saxo), les Jazz Messengers étaient composés ce soir-là de : Donald Harrison (saxophone alto), John O'Neal (piano) et Lonnie Plaxino (base). Teddy (talk) 15:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Merci bien pour votre recherche. D'ailleurs Johnny O'Neal (en:Johnny O'Neal) est une veritable découverte. Au relire -- Roomsixhu (d) 10 octobre 2010 à 03:40 (CEST)

Hello, Teddyyy!
 
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.

Clarification please... edit

You uploaded File:AdnanKhashoggi06.JPG as your own work. Because it was from decades ago, I thought I would take a look at your uploads, and I saw close to 100 other photos, from decades ago.

There is a guy from here in Ontario, who uploads a lot of older photos. He is an old guy, who once took a lot of kodak slides.

The portraits you uploaded? If you had worked as a freelance photographer, starting in the 1969, and chose to make some available here, that would be great!

But I thought I would seek clarification that you did personally take all of them, with your own camera. Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 05:17, 24 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Autopatrol given edit

 

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) 04:49, 25 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
