Dates on files you uploaded edit

Hello again. I've been date categorizing some Toronto-related files, and have come across a number of photos taken by you that have confusing dates. (For example, there are different dates listed for the upload date, Exif date, and the summary date.) Examples include:

I'm inclined to think that the Exif date is correct in these examples, and that the upload date is almost never the date the photo was taken (with the exception of photos you upload on the same day you take them, of course). A few others I've already figured out, but there are many more that need fixing.

I guess this leaves a few questions:

  • When you upload files, are you using a script or program on your computer and auto-filling the summary 'date' field for batches?
  • Is the Exif date on your camera correct for all your photos (and should I use that to categorize files)?

Thanks. Mindmatrix 16:41, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Mindmatrix: I can't blame a bad script.
If I was looking at someone else's photos I'd suspect human error, and trust the exif date, unless it was January 1. January 1st, of the year of manufacture, being the default date for older cameras.
I think that during my long history, and many cameras, there may have been an instances or two when I was walking around with a camera that had the wrong date. But I would just go with my photo's exif dates, unless there were a clear clue it was wrong.
Sorry for the confusion. The explanation is almost certainly human error, on my part. My current camera has built-in GPS, so my exif dates should all be correct, for the last five or six years.

OK, I'll use the Exif date. Like you, I don't trust the date January 1 unless the photo's description or content clearly indicates it. Mindmatrix 17:58, 7 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • It is a URAA claim - although the images are now public domain in Pakistan, they weren't public domain in the USA, when it signed the URAA. The interpretation of the nominator is that it is the copyright status when the USA signed that counts, and, at that point, it is locked in to the term for US images - longer than Pakistan's, that counts.
