Categories in België

Dag, ik zie dat je geregeld goed werk verricht hier. Dit berichtje om te melden dat in België, het hoofdcategoriesysteem op twee niveaus werkt: Belgisch en plaatselijk (dat laatste kan een wijk, dorp, gemeente of stad zijn). Er is enkel een hierarchie om de relatie tussen land/provincie/municipaliteiten/woonkernen vast te leggen, maar los daarvan is er voor de categorieën in België geen enkele hierarchie en dus ook geen geographische kennis vereist. Als je daarbij bijvoorbeeld een hierarchie van vb de stations in Liège wenst bij te voegen is dat Ok maar het hoofdcategories systeeem België/lokaal blijft beter gehandhaafd. Bedankt en beste groet. --Foroa (talk) 17:01, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Category:Former vicinal railway lines in Belgium

I will agree with you, if you will proceed on the same way for the above category.

Jean-Pol GRANDMONT (talk) 09:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

The cat. "Former vicinal railway lines in Belgium" has pictures from many places and is a subcategory off the much bigger "NMVB/SNCV" category. Once there are enough pictures I can make a subcategory where I can link directly to the location, but until then I maintain the direct link to the location in the pictures. On having enough pics I can create "Former vicinal railway lines in the province of Hainaut" and link it to the province of Hainaut.
The "Parc de Mariemont" category is different in that all the pictures are taken in Morlanwelz-Mariemont.

Greetings,

Your vicinal railway maps

Hi, Smiley.toerist. As you've probably noticed, I looked through you contributions and nominated a few files for deletion because they seem to be photographs of non-free works. However, my real concern was your vicinal railway maps, such as File:Buurtspoorwegen Namen.png and File:Buurtspoorwegen Luik.png. It seems clear from looking at the images and their history that you're making these maps by first scanning in a paper map and then cleaning it up digitally. However, I don't see any mention of how you obtained the original paper maps that you scanned. If those images are based on scans of non-free copyrighted maps, then I suspect that they may constitute non-free derivative works. If you could clarify the source of those maps, and thereby allay may concern, I'd be very thankful. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 17:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

(Rely below copied from User talk:Ilmari Karonen.)

I used and combined several sources to draw the maps:

• The starting point is a partial foto of a 1978 GTF national railmap (black and white). This map is no longer available or sold. The vicinal railway lines on the GTF map are very small dotted lines. However there were many errors, imprecisions and corrections for wich I used a lot of (sometimes conflicting) sources. These where:
• Michelin road maps
• Vicinal railmaps of "Rail Atlas vicinal"
• The vicinal story (light Railways in Belgium)
• Detailed walking maps
• Google Earth
• railway timetable of 1933
• Tram/railway map of Brussel
• Personal hikes along the tracks (File:Tunnel spoorlijn 25A onder 25 en 27.JPG, File:Essene-Lombeek oude spoorbrug.JPG
• Discussions with other wikipedians over the precise route of a line.

When I am ready with a map, there is not single byte left of the original picture. All railway lines/vicinal lines have been redrawn with the hand, using the other sources. (thicker and smaller lines, lines and stations deleted and added, etc) I have added a lot of locations and other details. All text is my own.

There is a discussion as what is an original map. Al maps have to start from somewhere and it is inevitable that as a representation of a reality, al maps wil look similar. These are the same railway lines and information. (content) What ultimately makes the difference is the styling en way of presentation, not the content. (Look for example at roadmaps of the same area) Besides there is a lot of original content. Each map cost me a lot off effort and time. The styling and colours are original and my own. A strongly object to refering the maps as derivative works.

Smiley.toerist (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

If you want I can send the "starting" map if you want to judge for yourself.

Thanks for your speedy reply. If indeed, as you write, the styling and colors of the finished maps are entirely original to you, then I see no problem: I fully agree that the mere geographical placement of towns, borders and routes on a map is abstract factual information which generally cannot be copyrighted. I was only concerned because it seemed, from looking at the images, that you might've been merely recreating the source maps complete with their styling, color and other creative presentation choices. If that's not the case, then I have no further concerns. In any case, I'd like to thank you for contributing so much time and effort to Commons, and I'm sorry for any that I may have needlessly wasted with this query. :-) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

It would be usefull is there are some guidelines in the commons. The derivative explaination section doesnt mention maps and what is posible. It remains a judgement call. If you take a picture of a paris metromap and draw a few lines it is not sufficient.

I find the lack of FOP in Belgium and France for public billboards a bit ridiculous. If a company or project puts up public information on the boards, I cant see any posible reason why they want to copyrigth/protect the information. There would be no legal risk. I can extract a drawing out of File:Lyon Leslys construction 9.jpg but it cost a lot of time for little purpose.Smiley.toerist (talk) 21:34, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

File:Tram companies in Liege province.jpg is a combination of two different pictures taken in the trammuseum of Liege. It is very usefull information for several articles. I could try to get permission of the museum. Creating a new diagram is a lot off work. Alternatively I could rework the whole thing and keep the information.

Hi There!

uoupps, a lot of you images have been deleted. I hope you are not turned off by this because some of you images are really great!!

Hello, you put a note on that category page, saying "Subcategory:Classical EMU is also a problem." Could you please explain what sort of problem you see? -- Gürbetaler (talk) 23:26, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

All the pictures in the category are off Belgian multiple units of the SNCB railway. EMU stands for Electric Multiple Unit. "Classical EMU" is a very broad term and can apply to a lot of old EMU's in any country. Not as a subcategory of Category:Electric multiple units of Belgium.

Suggestie naar aanleiding van Category:Duisburg Sint-Joris-Weert SNCV

Dag Smiley.toerist. Ik zag je mooie samenvatting van de foto's in de Category:Duisburg Sint-Joris-Weert SNCV. Het op deze manier presenteren lijkt mij ideaal voor een Gallery. Het voordeel is dat je dan geen "ingewikkelde" verwijzingen als [[Category:Duisburg Sint-Joris-Weert SNCV|23]] nodig hebt. Je kunt zelf bepalen in welke volgorde de foto's komen en een groot voordeel is dat wanneer er een nieuwe foto bijkomt, die in een gallery makkelijk op de juiste plaats is te zetten. Bij een category moet je - als je pech hebt - de verwijzingen van veel andere foto's aanpassen om ze weer in de goede volgorde te krijgen. Een ander voordeel van een gallery is dat je snel kunt zien wanneer iemand iets heeft veranderd, wanneer je de gallery hebt aangeduid met "volgen". Bij een category heb je dat niet; als iemand een foto aan de category toevoegd zie je dat niet. Groeten Wouter (talk) 21:25, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

De "volgende" en "vorige" werken door de verschillende categorien heen. Als je start met File:Sterrebeek-trambaan 1.jpg in categorie Sterrebeek Vossem SNCV komt je uiteindelijk op File:Sint-Joris-Weert Hamme-Mille 1.jpg twee categorien verder. En ik heb nog beelden verderop File:Beauvechain kruising.jpg en zelf nog beelden in Geldenaken die ik nog niet opgeladen hebt. Uiteindelijk denk ik aan een reuze galerij van Sterrebeek tot Bevekom met een kaart erbij.Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:46, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Category:Crossborder buses Belgium Netherland

Isn't there a better name for this category? I'm guessing you're talking about buses that are in some Belgium-Netherlands cross-border region (I live in the US so I have no idea; at first I thought "Crossborder" may be a brand of buses) or buses that simply cross the Belgium-Netherlands border? Maybe we can call it "Belgium-Netherlands cross-border buses" or "Cross-border buses in Belgium and the Netherlands". BTW, this doesn't work. You can only sort a category one way per category. Rocket000 (talk) 06:37, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

In Europe there are to kinds of international buses in public transport. There are the long distance buses like Eurolines like Paris Amsterdam wich are run for profit. At a local level there are some bus connections crossing the borders. Local and regional buslines are heavily subsidized and local authorities dont like to spend money outside their area. So local international lines are very haphazard and little known. (also in the travelwebsites). Going back to the issue at hand:

How would you classify all the public transport buses lines crossing the US Canadian border? Do local buses al stop at the border and you have to cross on foot to catch a bus on the other side? Often it is complicated because a busline has to have permission on both sides of the border. Who drives the busses? Are local tarif used on both sides of the borders for local passengers? This is why I consider buslines crossing the border as something special. In Europe there are lots of borders without any barriers. By most borders you dont really notice them.

I would like to have head category regrouping all crossborder buslines; Belgian/Netherlands, France Belgium, France Germany etc. There maybe a better name, but all such categorys should have the same naming convention.Smiley.toerist (talk) 07:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

PS: Is there any article summarising all the ways you can cross the US/Canadian border with public transport? Smiley.toerist (talk) 07:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not saying they shouldn't have a category, I just thought the name could be improved. I couldn't find any article about US-Canada border-crossing public transport, but I do know there are buses, trains, and ferries that do cross the border on a regular basis (some info: [1]). So which one of the names I suggested is best? Or can you think of something better? The current title, at the very least, needs a preposition in it, e.g. "Crossborder buses in Belgium Netherland", and Netherland should be Netherlands. Rocket000 (talk) 20:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

"Crossborder buses between Belgium and the Netherlands" and as head category "Crossborder buses in Europe". The last is maybe not really necessary. (buses in Europe/buses by country) Smiley.toerist (talk) 16:53, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I moved it to Category:Cross-border buses between Belgium and the Netherlands. I'll leave it up to you to create a parent category if you think it's needed. Rocket000 (talk) 12:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Tramway of Valenciennes

There will be a new extension to Crespin/Quiévrechain. The terminus of the line will be at the Crespin station Link. Since I have seen on Google Earth that you have put on line some pictures of the facilities there, could it be possible for you to put on Commons some pictures of that area ? Thanks a lot. 195.169.141.54 13:41, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

It is unclear in the article wat is meant bij station Crespin. There has never been a rail/tram station in Crespin and on the international railway line the station was called Blanc-Misseron but this was some distance away from Crespin. Crespin and Quiévrechain are on the opposite side of the railway and cannot be served by the same line. The busline 15 serving the area form Valenciennes goes to the border and then turns back and then serves either the Crespin or Quiévrechain village. I suspect that the tram wil continue from the railwayline North to Crespin (or South to Quiévrechain, but not both). A connecting busline can be started from the Belgian station connecting with the tram and continuing to the village not served by the tram. But this is pure speculation from my part. I find it strange that there not already a bus connection between the Belgian station and France. They dont need a tram to start a crossborder service. There used to be a direct busservice between Mons and Valenciennes. I have doubts about the international traffic to be generated. Smiley.toerist (talk) 08:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Mulhouse tram and tram-train

Hello I'm really sorry, I don't know if you prefer french or english to talk, then I'll try english even if i'm a French guy lol. First of all, thank you and congratulations for your pictures of Mulhouse tram and tram-train, it's a very good work. I'm in the way to organize categories there, then if you want to change some of them on your own pictures, it's up to you, I try to have more precise categories now that there is a sufficient number of pictures. I just wanted to ask you about the File:Mulhouse - tramway map.png you recently updated. It's nice but there is a little part of line 1 missing on North, the 3 stops opened in 2009 after Rattachement (Tuilerie, St Nazaire, and Châtaignier). Would it be possible to add them on the schema? It would be very kind! Thanks again, Cheers! Jeriby (talk) 02:02, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

I dont have the precise information on line 1, (where are the points, crossovers and platforms (centre or side)). Futhermore there is not enough drawing space in that direction, but that can be solved by a break with inset.

French is no problem for me, except I dont write it without errors. (fautes d'orthograph) Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:29, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

OK thank you very much then I'll go on in french malheureusement je n'ai pas d'outil adapté pour faire ce genre de dessin, mais pour avoir la description exacte de la ligne et de ses croisements, je pense qu'il y a moyen de s'inspirer de ceci: [2] jusqu'au trait noir qui marque l'arrêt de la ligne en l'état, au nord de Châtaignier (la suite étant le plan de l'hypothétique extension en direction de Wittenheim).

Rolling Stock of TER Alsace

Hey !

Je vois que tu parles français, je suppose donc que je peux m'adresser ainsi. Mais dis le moi, si tu préfères que je parles anglais. Je souhaitais simplement savoir pourquoi tu as retiré la catégorie Rolling stock of TER Alsace sur les photos du tram-train de la Vallée de la Thur. Il s'agit d'un service spécifique pénétrant un réseau urbain mais il s'agit bien d'un service TER, donc je pense qu'il a sa place ici.

Cordialement, Kevin Benoit ^{[Let's talk about it!]} 08:33, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Pas de probleme. La categorie "U 25600" est une souscategorie de "Rolling stock of TER Alsace". De plus la Categorie "Tram-train Mulhouse-Vallée de la Thur" est une souscategorie de "TER Alsace". Encore ajouter une categorie sur les images et de trop. Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:02, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Ah, je n'avais pas vu ! Autant pour moi. Parfait, alors. Cordialement, Kevin Benoit ^{[Let's talk about it!]} 11:07, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Smiley.toerist, in your last comment on VP you suggested to let both "duplicate" images stay. However, shortly thereafter you tagged one of them for dupe-speedy, which I then performed without knowing of your earlier VP comment, which then led to this discussion on my talkpage. Am I correct to assume that your later edit expresses your "final will"? --Túrelio (talk) 12:44, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but I had some hesitation because the corrected version (without haze) is so much smaller. The community often prefers to keep the biggest images and edit them themselves. It was my mistake, I didn't realize I had already uploaded the image, otherwise I would have just uploaded the newer version and the old version would stil be available. The commons should signal that there is already a version with capital letter extention. Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

To long a name

I messed up a file name with an unintended extra (Dutch) description sentence in the name. The rename was refused as no valid reason. Come on! I agree that "To long a Name" is not a valid reason, but junk in the name is.

I believe you have incorrectly piped the {{Rename}}. I have corrected it but I think you should still define a better rationale per rename criteria. -- とある白い猫 ^ちぃ？ 11:47, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Correcting perpectives

Hey, I have answerd you on Villagepump. see here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Correcting_perpectives . Cheers, Amada44  ^{talk to me} 08:57, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Backup village pump

Is there some procedure or tool to correct perspective problems? (leaning towers etc) One example is File:HAL Rotterdam terminal en schip.JPG, where someone corrected the image with File:HAL Rotterdam terminal en schip1a.JPG.Smiley.toerist (talk) 08:01, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Lens correction tools can do this. See a tutorial at [3]. Dcoetzee (talk) 08:24, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Gimp, among others, does it. Gimp 2.8: tools/transformation/perspective --Jwh (talk) 08:26, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

But GIMP does not have the ability to correct barrel/pincushion distortion, does it? /ℇsquilo 12:24, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

You can find this tool under Filters > Distorts > Lens Distortion... There's a documentation about it on docs.gimp.org. Make sure you've got your GIMP updated to the latest version (although the lense correction feature has been already added in GIMP 2.3.12 beta).
