Hi, welcome here! Please use a new section or edit a relevant section. Thank you.

Bienvenue, visiteur. Crée pour m'écrire une nouvelle section ou enrichis une section existante. Merci.

Regarding "Djvu files thousands hours of work and checking"

I don't even have a response to that, other than to say that I somewhat object to the implication that I'm one of those "dodgy accounts that seem to be stirring up trouble". Love, Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 09:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

How about a bable box?

As I read somewhere that you're not a native English speaker, it would be more than helpful+welcome to anyone trying to contact you if you'd put a bable box on one of your user pages (or both).

As an example, I put one here (a dummy; remove it or even this edit after having noticed it, if you like to). cu, --WeHaWoe (talk) 10:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, TX. (BTW, although my level of French should be adequate to my English, I have extreme difficulties to switch from one to the other [seems like those languages were stored in opposite corners of my brain, but English closer to German], and as I mostly write in English here, I'm reluctant to use French ;) D'ailleurs, si tu te souviens des évènements du mai '68: J`étais à Paris à cette époque, en échange scholaire [Lycée Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague ;]]. --WeHaWoe (talk) 06:34, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Administrator

---

Offert au nouvel administrateur par ses confrères...

Félicitations Zyephyrus! Tu es maintenant pourvu des droits d'administrateur sur le site. Avant de te lancer dans les effacements de page, protections de page, blocages de compte ou modifications de pages protégées, il n'est pas inutile de relire attentivement la page Commons:Administrateurs et de placer dans ta liste de suivi les pages s'y rapportant (notamment Commons:Administrators' noticeboard, Commons:Demandes de suppression). La plupart des actions d'administrateurs sont réversibles par les autres sysops, à l'exception des fusions d'historiques qui doivent donc être traitées avec précaution.

Il est possible de discuter directement avec d'autres admins sur IRC : #wikimedia-commons @ irc.freenode.net. Il existe également un canal dédié aux admins de Commons, qui peut être utile pour les sujets sensibles ou la coordination entre administrateurs : #wikimedia-commons-admin.

Tu peux également rejoindre #wikimedia-admin, le canal de coordination inter-wiki pour les administrateurs Wikimedia. Demande à n'importe quel channel operator de t'accorder une dispense d'invitation (alternativement n'importe qui sur le canal peut t'y inviter temporairement). Tous les admins de tous les projets y sont bienvenus.

La lecture de Commons:Guide to adminship peut s'avérer enrichissante.

Merci de vérifier ou d'ajouter ton nom à la liste des administrateurs et les autres listes, par langue et par date, qui y sont mentionnées.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Zyephyrus!

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.

Blanking

Hi Zyephyrus,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed you blanked File:La Fontaine - Fables choisies - Tome 3.djvu on Commons. I asume you meant for the page to be deleted, but blanking the page is not the right way to do this. I'd like to strongly recommend to use {{speedy|reason here}} and add it on top of the page you would like to have deleted; This way it will be placed on a special list that administrators check regulary for deletion. Without this it might take a long time before it's noticed. Thanks again. 19:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC)–Krinkle^talk

Thank you Krinkle, I will. --Zyephyrus (talk) 20:49, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

De-adminship warning

Deutsch | Español | Italian

Dear Zyephyrus. I am writing to you to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

You can read the de-admin policy at Commons:Administrators/De-adminship.

Thank you Huib talk ^{Abigor @ meta} 08:02, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Renaming files

Hi,

You requested the adminbit for renaming files, today you don't have to be a administrator for that anymore we can give everybody the file-mover rights, maybe its more easy when you stop being a administrator and star being a file mover, that way you don't be bother with the de-admin policies.

Best regards, Huib talk ^{Abigor @ meta} 09:21, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Scan du Gaffiot, droits

Bonjour Zyephyrus,

Je t'écris en français (Latine scribere potuissem) qui est apparemment ta langue principale.

J'ai écrit une application qui utilise le fichier Gaffiot djvu, que j'ai éclaté, pour qu'elles soient rapides d'accès, en 1702 fichier tiff. Cette application, que j'ai appelée Felix 34, sera libre, placée sous GPL 3, ou si nécessaire, sous une autre licence libre. Je m'interroge sur les droits d'utilisation de ces fichiers :

- Gérard Jeanneau, avec qui j'ai autrefois correspondu, a-t-il été contacté ? - Puis-je publier Felix 34 + data sous Linux sur une forge ? Sous quelle licence ? - Je dois fournir, pour le CNDP, une petite logithèque pour l'étude des langues anciennes. Le DVD offrira des textes, des articles, des images et un manuel, mais tout n'y sera pas libre. J'ai cependant posé comme condition que mon travail sera sous licence libre. Ai-je le droit d'y intégrer le Gaffiot ?

Les sources de Felix 34 sont ici, sans les données (1702 fichiers tiff, nommés de 1.tif à 1702.tif), est ici : http://www.collatinus.org/felix/

Merci, et amicalement,

Yves Ouvrard, dit Collatinus

Bonsoir Collatinus,

Voici déjà un lien vers les explications sur le copyright que tu peux trouver sur Wikisource. Est-ce que cela répond au moins en partie à ta question ?

Sur l'intégration du Gaffiot sous licence libre, dans un DVD où tout ne sera pas libre, je cherche plus de précisions. A bientôt donc la suite.

Je ne sais pas si quelqu'un a contacté Gérard Jeanneau ; je le ferais volontiers à titre amical car son travail (et le tien) m'a beaucoup servi pendant mes années d'enseignement, et j'aimerais beaucoup vous remercier tous deux de tout ce que vous nous avez offert, d'autant plus que vous avez été des pionniers dans ce genre de démarche, bien avant Wikipédia.

Bien amicalement, --Zyephyrus (talk) 22:49, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Merci, cher Zyephyrus, pour ce lien, qui en effet me rassure. Felix 34 pourra donc être téléchargeable sur Gna!, et empaquetable pour les distribs Linux. Pour le DVD, j'attends des précisions, et me renseigne de mon côté. -- Collatinus

Bonjour, Félix Gaffiot étant mort en 1937, son dictionnaire est dans le domaine public, et peut-être réutilisé sans problèmes. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 21:22, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Bonjour, désolé de répondre aussi tard. J'ai demandé la suppression des photos afin qu'il n'y est pas trop d'images identiques, certes il ne sont pas de la même années mais bon. Le probleme c'est que la plus part du temps on ce retrouve submergé par un tas de photos, c'est pour cela que j'ai demandé la suppression. --Parisdreux (d) 11:32, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

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
