Metavid.org

c-span video posts. Thanks for your contribution to wikimedia commons :) I would like to sugest you check out metavid.org and archive.org for your c-span video uploads. For a few reasons. metavid.org captures from the source broadcasts and encodes to ogg directly so the quality is of much higher quality ( no low-quality web stream re-encodes ) Metavid.org blocks out the c-span trademark which is protected by trademark law. [1] ( commons should try to avoid the use of trademarks in footage) Metavid.org has a lot of metadata so its easy to find things. It looks like you seem to be uploading opening prayers which has a category on metavid.org There is a short tutorial on how to upload commons videos here Mdale (talk) 07:20, 31 March 2010 (UTC) Thanks, Mdale! Looks like excellent advice -- and an excellent resource!! I'm going to start to learn more about this -- NearTheZoo (talk) 12:54, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Question about Hanukkah image file

File source is not properly indicated: File:White_House_Hanukkah_2009.jpg This media may be deleted. A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:White_House_Hanukkah_2009.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! High Contrast (talk) 13:20, 23 May 2010 (UTC) This image is insufficiently sourced: "Official Government Photo" is no valid source. Please state the html-link where the image can be found. Thank you in advance. --High Contrast (talk) 13:22, 23 May 2010 (UTC) For a minute, couldn't find this location to respond, so just left a note on your talk page. Please look at the additional information I added (the official White House government "blog" that had the photo listed as a White House photo) and let me know if this is sufficient. I hope so! Thanks! NearTheZoo (talk) 15:54, 23 May 2010 (UTC) Dear High Contrast, I think you agree this problem has been fixed, because the info I recently added to the image has been "cleaned up" and properly entered (and now I understand the process - so, thanks!). However, the warning banner is still on this talk page, and I don't know if I am allowed to remove it, or only you are. If everything is all right, could you remove it, so that I can be sure? Again -- thanks! NearTheZoo (talk) 11:34, 24 May 2010 (UTC) Everything okay now. --High Contrast (talk) 19:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

I will try to track down source information! NearTheZoo (talk) 22:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC) Dear Belgrano, Please let me know whether you would prefer I send info to your page or print here. For now, here is some info I have found, as of January 2, 2011: File:USS_PugetSound.gif Official U.S. Navy photo, printed in "The Military Chaplain," July-Aug 1984, with caption: "Official Navy Photo: by PHAN J. C. MaCormick." Also found in printed in "The Jewish Week, June 8, 1984, with caption: "Photo: U.S.Navy." File:Beirut_kippa.jpg Official U.S. Navy photo, printed in official U.S. Navy publication, "The Navigator, Naval Training Center, Orlando," Vol 25, No.21, Nov 1992, "Navy Orlando Chaplain Helped Dedicate the Wall." Also printed in separate U.S. Navy publication, "Soundings, U.S. Naval Station Norfolk Virginia, Nov. 17, 1983. In addition to these official U.S. Navy publications, the photo is printed in in numerous civilian publications with no copyright note, including Jewish War Veterans Calendar (for the year, 1990), where it is used as an illustration for the month of October. File:Laromme_Torah.jpg Official U.S. Navy photo, printed in "Rollcall," the newsletter for the JWB Commission on Jewish Chaplaincy, an official "DOD (Department of Defense) Endorsing Agency," Winter 1983/1984. The photo is captioned, "U.S. Navy Chaplain Brings Innovations to Western Wall." This publication frequently prints photos sent by official DOD and U.S.Navy public affairs offices, which is the source when no copyright attribution is given. File:CampHopeAlbania.jpg Official U.S. Army photo, published online as an official photo for the U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) but has since been taken down. I am trying to figure out if some official can certify that it is an official photo, but I'm not 100% sure I can do that. I will keep trying to get better resource info for this photo -- and for the other photos I have not mentioned yet. Thank you again for your patience and help! NearTheZoo (talk) 04:27, 3 January 2011 (UTC) Dear Belgrano, Info on one more photo: *File:CampHopeAlbania.jpg Available online at flikr.com: http://www.flickr.com/photos/47462558@N04/5319786797, with the following information: Rabbi Arnold E. Resnicoff from United:States European Command passes out candy to refugee children at the United States Camp Hope in Fier, Albania . Camp Hope will :::soon become home for 20,000 refugees upon completion. Military personnel and civilian relief agents are working hand in hand to ensure refugees are provided life's basic essentials. Personnel are deployed to the region in support of Operation Shining Hope which is bringing relief to thousands of refugees in Albania and Macedonia displaced by the current unrest in the region of Kosovo, Yugoslavia. U.S. Military Photo 990524-F-5920L-001 , on file with USEUCOM Office of Public Affairs. Copy presented to Rabbi Arnold E. Resnicoff. Photo taken May 24, 1999. NearTheZoo (talk) 15:19, 3 January 2011 (UTC) Dear Belgrano, a little more info on File:Beirut_kippa.jpg Please see new file, Resnicoff_BeirutKippa.jpg which has all the correct documentation for a U.S. military (U.S. Marine Corps) photo, including the name of the photographer: SSGT Robert E. Kline. Beirut_kippa.jpg is almost definitely a companion photo, taken by the same photographer on the same day. The new one has documentation because only one photo was included in the official military history of that operation. NearTheZoo (talk) 16:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Linking images

Tip: Categorizing images Hello, NearTheZoo! 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.

(there is one Fri. 30th) Slowking4 (talk) 20:20, 19 March 2012 (UTC) btw there is a photo meetup, part of the wiki loves monuments [2]. Slowking4⇔ †@1₭ 02:39, 30 August 2012 (UTC) Thanks very much, Slowking4! I especially appreciate the advice about using the special template for photos uploaded specifically for the English wikipedia as opposed to wikimedia commons. I'm always learning, and this is an important lesson. I'm a little busy now in terms of adding wiki DC mtgs to my schedule--but sometime in the future my schedule might change. Thanks also for this note about mtgs, though. Best wishes, NearTheZoo (talk) 02:52, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Shuk pictures

Shuk pictures Yes, I did happen to come across the small shul in one of the shuk alleys, and will try to find it on my memory card and upload it. I also have a better picture of the closed shuk than what is posted on the article. As I shop at the shuk every week, I'll also try to take a picture of the open shuk some time. Regarding Yad Kennedy, I have never been there. But wherever I travel, my camera comes, too! Best, Yoninah (talk) 17:49, 8 September 2012 (UTC) Thanks, Yoninah! It's nice being "partners" for the improvement of this article. I love the market, and have enjoyed seeing its revitalization over the years. (I'm a particular fan of Fish and Chips, and Pasta Basta!) If you have a chance to look at the article on Yad Kennedy, you'll see I've put a lot of work into improving it. I also recommended to the Keren Kayemet that they consider working with the Israel govt to host a special event there in November 2013, which would be the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination. Thanks for all your wiki work! 66.44.40.85 18:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Ralph Randolph Gurley

Ralph Randolph Gurley Hi NearTheZoo, an old photograph which you have uploaded as File:Ralph Randolph Gurley.jpg and added to the English Wikipedia article on Ralph Randolph Gurley is nonetheless a picture of Jehudi Ashmun, as clearly stated in the original scan from which you extracted this image. Gurley is the author of the book which contains the portrait, not the person in the portrait.--84.108.212.141 00:30, 30 September 2012 (UTC) Well, as they say in many languages, "Oops!" :) Thanks for catching this mistake! I'll correct this mistake. NearTheZoo (talk) 00:44, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
