Banknotes

I've receive your notification requesting deletion of the banknotes i just uploaded. You say that maybe they are incorrect licensed. Well, i really don't know. Maybe i misundestanding the licenses but as far as i know that was a photo; i took the PHOTO and i am releasing the license of using THAT photo, so: ¿can you indicate me what is the correct license for that pictures instead of marking all of them for deletion????? thanks. --Jyon 16:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I just looking similar banknotes like this, that have GDFL license; that are wrong too??? it was posted two years ago and anybody says anything. Thanks. --Jyon 16:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jyon, you cannot license something only because you are the author of a derivative work. There is also an original author or copyright owner (the bank that printed the bank note). You shold provide clarity on the copyright status for that copyright holder also. See Commons:Licensing for all the details. Siebrand 17:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Of course i know i can't own a copyrighted bill and then release the rights; i just only want to know why other banknotes images has GDFL license and what else i can choose. thanks. --Jyon 13:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, there is nothing you can choose that falls within our licensing policy. You could ask in Commons:Village Pump, because I know very little outside basic US and Dutch licenses. Siebrand 14:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely not a copyvio

Image:Norvegia 142.jpg was shot by me. Maybe it was the site which copied it. Bye and good work. --Attilios 22:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Attilios, see Commons:Derivative works. Mr. Vigeland's sculptures are protected by copyright until 2012, and Norway has only a noncommercial freedom of panorama. Your photo is therefore not a copyvio, but nevertheless against policy. I will delete it. Kjetil_r 23:04, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Delmerensmolen

Wat heb je in vredesnaam hier uitgespookt Image:Delmerensmolen.JPG ?? Misschien ligt het aan mij, maar daar zie ik alvast geen MOLEN in ? Dit daarentegen nl:Afbeelding:Delmerensmolen.jpg lijkt me WEL een molen? Wat is dat schoolgebouw dan ? --LimoWreck 18:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Ik heb de afbeelding verplaatst zoals die op nl.wp onder de naam nl:Afbeelding:P1010041.JPG (logboek) bekend was en met de bij de afbeelding aanwezige beschijving. Ik vermoed dat Delmerensmolen de naam van een wijk of iets dergelijks is... Je zou uitleg kunnen vragen aan de uploader. P.s. ligt het aan hoe ik je vraag lees of was het je intentie me agressief te benaderen? Siebrand 20:54, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I merged your 18 deletion requests to one page. --Cat ^Chi? 22:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

• eek* That was a lot of work... Thanks. Siebrand 22:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Blokkendoos.jpg

Hey, I was wondering why that image shouldn't have been moved to commons. Also, would it be possible to make an adaptation of your bot for the Hebrew Wikipedia and how exactly does it check itself\choose which files to transfer, etc. Thanks, Yonatanh 14:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Yonatanh, the image should not have been moved because of insufficient source info. Because I'm uploading with the bot, I do miss some information now. Thus some of the uploaded images should be deleted again. As for the bot: it will probably be public. User:Orgullomoore and I are working on it. Have a little patience while we work out the quirks. I'll keep you posted. Siebrand 14:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing, thanks for the quick response. Yonatanh 14:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

CommonsHelper

Hello, what it is CommonsHelper? --Snek01 19:27, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

CommonsHelper is a tool that helps you retain all required information when transferring an image from another Wikimedia wiki to Wikimedia Commons. Siebrand 19:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Do you what is in number 3 at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske/Commonshelper_interface/Help_en ? --Snek01 20:59, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

You mean the screenshot? It does not appear to work, but it's just a bunch of wiki text that'll be the image description on Commons... Or did you mean something else? Siebrand 21:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

blok

Sorry voor de omslachtige manier van communicatie, maar zou je mij (Phidias) even kunnen de-blokkeren op nl.wiki. Galwaygirl heeft per ongeluk een verkeerde blokkade gedaan op het ip-adres van 't unief. Ik heb ook een mail gestuurd naar de nl.wiki mailcentrale. Groet - PhidiasNL 22:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Ik heb niet zo vaak met dit soort dingen te maken. Volgens mij heb ik ook je IP-adres nodig. Kan je me dat geven (als de IP-blokkade niet al verlopen is)? Siebrand 06:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

welcome.py

Hi, i'm an italian user of Wikipedia and i've heard that you have written a script to welcome the new users. We also use another one script, now fixed and upgraded by me, and i would like to see your script to mix them togheter in a better and useful script :) You can find the italian version hear. Our script put another template if the nick has a badword that is in one of 3 list (elencoaf, elencogz and elencovarie). Now i have only an italian versione but if you are interested i could translate it also in english :) (but i would like to see your script before :D ) Bye, Filnik P.S. This version has only 2 bad words (because it only explains the code)

Hi, I did not write the script, User:Orgullomoore wrote it and I'm just running it unmodified. I run a slightly modified version on the Dutch Wikipedia. PLease drop me an e-mail and I'll include both versions of the script. Cheers! Siebrand 17:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

nowcommons

Afbeeldingen verplaatsen naar commons, allemaal goed en wel, maar dan wat zorgvuldiger zijn met de categorieën graag ? --LimoWreck 22:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Hoi Limo, op nl.wp hebben de afbeeldingen geen enkele cat. De cats worden met CommonsHelper automatisch toegewezen. Als er geen cats zijn, worden ze toegewezen aan Category:Files moved from nl.wikipedia to Commons requiring review. CommonsHelper gebruikt CommonSense voor de categorieselectie. Dat is niet altijd even goed (vaak grof), maar veel beter dan niets, het alternatief. Als je wilt kan je af en toe wat afbeeldingen sorteren als je ze tegenkomt en ze op de verkeerde of een te hoge plaats in de boomstructuur staan... Groet, Siebrand 22:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Soms heel grof, soms ontbrekend, soms zelfs dubbelop... Zo commonsense is het blijkbaar niet ;-) In elk geval, dat ze in een aparte categorie terechtkomen is alvast uitstekend, dat verhindert inderdaad dat ze verdwijnen in het niets op commons. --LimoWreck 23:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Afbeedlingsbeschrijveningen als template:afbeeldinginfo zijn niet meteen verhelderend: graag ook zo'n gevallen opvangen; ik weet niet of er bij veel afbeeldingen zo info is weggegooid; anders moet dat toch gewoon kunnen overgenomen wordne ? [1] (of kan de bot daar nog geen weg mee, en moet dat manueel gecorrigeerd worden?) --LimoWreck 21:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Alle info wordt overgenomen, maar mogelijk niet juist weergegeven. Ik zal kijken of ik dat sjabloon hier kan aanmaken en vermoed dat alles dan in orde is. Handmatig corrigeren kan altijd en heeft de voorkeur. Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Afbeeldinginfo geeft een lijst met media waar het sjabloon wordt gebruikt. Siebrand 22:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Ik heb het sjabloon aangemaakt zoals het op nl.wp bestaat. Information staat nu in Information. Niet helemaal ideaal, maar in ieder geval wordt alle inforatie weergegeven. Siebrand 22:54, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

't is inderdaad dubbelop, maar 't is alleszins netjes leesbaar nu wat de beschrijving is. Een toevallig voorbijganger kan het wel eens aanpassen dan; maar dat zijn slechts esthetische detailtjes nu ;-) --LimoWreck 22:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Yep. Had je die javascriptreut voor in je monobook.js nog bekeken? ERG handig, in het bijzonder voor {{Delete}}-nominaties: 4 edits met 1 klik en een zinnetje invullen. Siebrand 22:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I do not speak, read or write any Chinese language. Please look at Commons:許可協議 for an explanation of how to license. Thanks, Siebrand 10:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

see "The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain in the United States and in those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years. This photograph of the work is also in the public domain in the United States (see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.)." (from english Wikipedia) You can talk to me in User talk:蘇州宇文宙武——蘇州宇文宙武 10:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I see that. I however see nowhere when the work of art was created. Name a year, century, or whatever, and a source so this could be verified. Siebrand 10:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You meant that this image in the english Wikipedia also has to be verified, but it hasn't. In your opinion it also has to be deleted, but why not yet? So, how will you deal with it? Delete it?——蘇州宇文宙武 11:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I am not familiar with the deletion procedures on en.wp. I only know that with the information provided, the image cannot be accepted here on Commons. Another wiki of Wikimedia cannot be named as valid source for other things than own work. Siebrand 11:05, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

If I can find out the author of this image(of course he died a long time ago), does it mean that this image won't need to be deleted?--蘇州宇文宙武 12:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

PS:I've found that this image Image:Tongzhi.jpg also has to be deleted because its author wasn't right. It says that its author is 敬庄, but this man didn't exist. So the person who upload it lies. If I lie like him/her, the image I upload doesn't need to be deleted, is this the rule in the Commons?--蘇州宇文宙武 12:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm sure you are not lying :-). You require dating and a proper source before you can tag something PD-old. As long as that information is missing, the image is not allowed here. I'm sorry, that's just how it is... Siebrand 12:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

So, Image:Tongzhi.jpg also has to be deleted.--蘇州宇文宙武 13:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

And I have to tell you that there're many Chinese artists that we can't find their names as the author of the image I uploaded, but they also died for more than 100y. Can we use their works in the Commons?--蘇州宇文宙武 13:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You can also see Image:升仙太子碑拓片局部.jpg. That image is my work and someone copy it from the chinese Wikipedia, is this allowed?——蘇州宇文宙武 10:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

It depends. If the image has a free license and all source information was taken from the original location, it definately is. You can use CommonsHelper to transfer all relevant information. Siebrand 10:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

images deleted by ALE!

I am very sorry about that. I always replaced all usages before deletion. But is seems, that the check usage service now only displays usages in articles by default. I was not aware of that. Concerning the universal replace bot, I think that you refer to Orgullobot. That bot does not replace PNGs with SVGs for the moment. Unfortunately! Sorry for the hassle. I will try that this does not happen again! --ALE! ¿…? 09:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Question

I'm curios to know why the bot included Image:Hadash.JPG in Category:Jerusalem - am I missing something here? Daniel Tzvi 12:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

It is using CommonsHelper to transfer information from the source wiki which is using CommonSense to suggest categories. Ik think this was written by User:Duesentrieb. I know it's not perfect, but at least the new images are noticed :-). If you see it, please fix it. I also know that it tends to categorise in categories close to the top, which is still better than no categorisation at all... I guess the image is somewhere related to Jerusalem on nl.wp, which is why that category was chosen (see nl:Image:Hadash.JPG) Cheers! Siebrand 14:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, in the meanwhile, somebody else already moved it to Category:Politics of Israel, so all's well. I can only assume that the bot put it the jerusalem category because the Knesset is situated in Jerusalem, but who knows what goes on the minds of bots? Daniel Tzvi 20:10, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, they tend to have a mind of their own :-) Siebrand 20:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I moved it after seeing the discussion here (I'm Yonatanh on the Hebrew Wikipedia). ;) Yonatan ^talk 21:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

image transfer from other Wikipedias

Hey Siebrand! Do you accept requests to transfer images (sets with some hundred pictures by one user) from other Wikipedias than nl.wp to Commons? Regards, --Polarlys 22:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Yep, if you place them in a category on that Wikipedia and are completely sure that the images have complete copyright info. I need to know what your "NowCommons" template looks like ({{NowCommons}} would be convenient). If I do not have to check for copyright and such, it can be done very quickly. Siebrand 22:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

P.s. if you know something about bots, I could also email you the bot. It's not really hard to adapt it to your specifications; I could guide you using IRC or Skype. Siebrand 22:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

You’ve got mail :-) --Polarlys 22:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

So do you. Please start slowly. Once you get how the bot works, keep on clicking :-) Siebrand 22:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Image:Merano-Stemma.png

Hey, I was replacing this image with Image:Meran CoA.png using checkusage and saw it's used on nl. It's used in a template that uses File:Italian Municipality Name-Stemma.png so it's a bit of a problem for me to replace it there. I was wondering if you could do it for me. Thanks in advance, Yonatan ^talk 08:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, these images appear to be duplicates where the image you want to replace is older than the CoA image. Why do that? It appears to me that the new image can be speedy deleted using {{Badname}}. There are literally hundreds of images named Italian_Municipality_Name-Stemma.png. Siebrand 09:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, User:Gryffindor decided to rename it for some reason, I was just replacing all images in orgullobot's list. Yonatan ^talk 18:39, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, please look into it closer, because I suspect that he may be pushing something that is not needed. "CoA" is also not by the naming convention of Image:Coat of arms of ???.ext. Siebrand 20:33, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Source information?

Since when do we require source information for pictures not copyrighted, or not copyrighted anymore?[3]--Rtc 12:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

We require source information for any image. Siebrand 12:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense. --Rtc 12:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

OMG! How so? Siebrand 12:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

source information has never been required for PD-old and PD-ineligible pictures, and it's irrelevant there. Don't be a dork. --Rtc 13:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

This is nonsense. And please take back your accusation that I would be trolling. Siebrand 13:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

that is not nonsense, and in any case it is no reason for deletion in this case. What you do is tolling. I don't know the soruce for these pictures and I there is really more important work to do than to research it, because it is simply completely irrelevant. --Rtc 13:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

a troll is someone who posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding. If the source and author of an image is unknown, it should be deleted. I find your manner of discussing and adding accusations like trolling utterly uncivil. Siebrand 13:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

About TV_Chile.jpg

Hi: I'd saw your message about the TV_Chile.jpg image I'd uploaded this morning. According to the chilean law N° 17.336, article 88, we can use the TV Chile logo because it's the TV Logo from he government chilean channel. That's the reson why i'd changed the copyright to PD-Chile, adding tv-logo too.

Actually, we're using the TV Chile logo for the TV Chile Wikipedia page: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Chile

Thanks a lot for reading this message,

Anselmo

Image:Creation of Light.png

Hallo Siebrand, das betreffende Bild ist von Gustave Doré, der 1883 gestorben ist. Es ist daher gemeinfrei. Woher der Scan des Bildes stammt, ist unwichtig, da es sich um ein zweidimensionales Objekt handelt, dessen Reproduktion (anders als bei dreidimensionalen) nicht urherrechtlich geschützt ist. Es besteht absolut kein Grund, dieses Bild zu löschen, es fehlen auch keine Informationen auf der Bildbeschreibungsseite. Gruß, Rainer ... 16:05, 26 March 2007 (UTC) (Hoffe, es ist ok, dass ich auf Deutsch schrieb.)

Writing in German is fine, just as long as I'm not required to answer in it, as my English is a lot better :-). In my opinion all images should be sourced, as they have an origin. Photographs of paintings to which copyrights no longer apply get credibility from the source. Not making an effort to name the proper source, especially in recent uploads, reduces the credibility of the image, the alledged facts that accompany it and will, if in high enough volume, eventually damage the credibility of the Commons as a whole. Thus we should not accept them. Siebrand 16:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, you are wrong. Da mein Englisch wiederum beim Antworten schlechter ist, bleibe ich beim Deutschen. Geht ja auch gemischt.

Die relevante Quelle für das Bild (und vergleichbare) ist Doré. Natürlich hat das jemand irgenwann abfotografiert oder eingescannt, das spielt aber rechtlich keine Rolle. Vermutlich wurde auch kein Original eingescannt, sondern eine Reproduktion aus einem Buch. Auch das ist unwichtig, außer in technischer Hinsicht. Bei Reproduktionen zweidimensionaler Werke, deren Urheber seit 70 Jahren tot sind, besteht definitiv keine Pflicht weitere Quellen zu nennen als den ursprünglichen Autor. Nicht in der Wikipedia bzw. in Commons und auch sonst nirgendwo. Deine Sorgen sind unbegründet. Gruß, Rainer ... 17:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I do worry, and time will tell. Thanks for your explanations. Siebrand 17:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'm sure. Rainer ... 17:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Albersminardi05.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Albersminardi05.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. Morio 03:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

{{UWiscCIMSS}}

Hmm, why did you speedy tag everything using this template? If it is on COM:DEL, either close the debate speedily or keep the images until the regular closure. Either way is consistent, but to do both prejudices the debate and could lead to the loss of images (once in the speedy queue locating them will be a pain). I suggest you revert the noncommercial tagging and wait for the comdel to close on this..--Nilfanion 00:32, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Botcategorisatie (bis)

Sorry van mijn "genuanceerde" (ahum) bewerkingscommentaar [4], maar de bot (of hoe werkt het ook al weer?) maakt er écht wel vaak een soepje van (en niet enkel jouw bot trouwens, sommige waren een tijd terug blijkbaar al door anderen - maar al even onnauwkeurig helaas - gedaan). Een Belgische duin blijkt opeens in Nederland te liggen? Ik heb de voorbije dagen eens opkuis gehouden in de Belgische rivieren, en daar bleek het met overgezette foto's eveneens schering en inslag. Sommige foto's plots in een stad 30 km verderop te liggen - of in een ander land -. Kan dat echter niet beter afgestemd worden; of als het niet kan, gewoon veel trager overgezet naar commons. Nu gebeurt het domweg en komt allerhande info compleet verkeerd terecht (een anonieme vandaal zou het zelfs niet beter kunnen) - bij trager tempo kan eventueel meer handmatig gecheckt werden aleer verder te gaan. Ik denk dat de afbeeldingen die nu op NL staan er heus wel tegen kunnen om een weekje of twee langer ginder te staan, aleer ze hier ingevuld kunnen worden; en komen ze misschien meteen goed terecht. --LimoWreck 22:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

CommonsHelper categoriseert m.b.v. CommonSense. Sneller of trager maakt niet uit, het moet toch gebeuren. Sneller zou zelfs voordeliger kunnen zijn, omdat je de hoofdcategorieen dan niet meerdere keren door moet lopen. 't Gaat zoals het gaat... Er blijven ook een afbeeldingen over die in het geheel niet gecategoriseerd zijn, ofwel omdat ze op nl.wp niet gebruikt worden, ofwel omdat CommonSense er niets voor heeft kunnen vinden. Nadat ik het eigen werk heb overgezet (iets over de helft nu, ~8000 gedaan, 8000 te gaan), wil ik me daarmee bezighouden. Groet, Siebrand 22:57, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

P.s. n.a.v. [5]: Image:Geul 2.JPG wordt gebruikt op nl:Geul (rivier) en die zit in cat nl:Categorie:Rivier in België. Dat is een manier waarop CommonSense werkt. Hoe meer cats een artikel waarin de afbeelding wordt gebruikt heeft en hoe vaker de afbeelding wordt gebruikt in verschillende artikelen, hoe groter de kans dat er wat rommelig gecategoriseerd wordt... Wat betreft de edit die jij hierboven aanhaalt: een artikel waarin de afbeelding wordt gebruikt is gecategoriseerd in nl:Natuurgebied in Nederland. De computer doet gewoon wat hij logisch kan afleiden... Siebrand 23:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Naamgeving afbeelding

Hoi Siebrand,

Jij weet meer van Commons dan ik, dus vandaar mijn vraag... Ik heb mijn Image:FMRI-scan sectie 85.JPG toegevoegd aan Category:Wikipedians from the Netherlands. Net als op "nl:" heb ik daarachter "|Erik1980" gezet om mezelf op de juiste plek te krijgen, maar op de één of andere manier kom ik zelfs nog voor de A in de gallery terecht.

Is hernoemen van een afbeelding hier wél mogelijk? Ik ben -volgens mij- het oiginele bronbestand kwijt dus her-uploaden is geen optie... Dank voor je advies alvast!

Groetjes, Erik1980 23:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Hoi Erik, hernoemen is helaas niet mogelijk tot de programmacode voor afbeeldingen volledig is herschreven. Tot die tijd: opnieuw uploaden en de oude afbeelding {{duplicate|Image:NieuweNaam.ext}} taggen. Siebrand 06:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Beste Siebrand, kijk eens naar de rest van de Category:Sander. :-) Dryke 11:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Categorisatie is volledig automagisch gedaan door CommonSense. Die wist waarschijnlijk niet dat er ook visjes zijn die zo heten :-) Siebrand 13:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Trolling

I just repeat what I read on Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Apulien in Italien.png. It's look like trolling but I don't look in details. Sorry, I'll be more caraful next time. 14:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Miscats

Beste Siebrand, ik merk bij het onderbrengen van afbeeldingen in een diepere cat dat ik nogal wat fouten van SieBot tegenkom. Er staan bijvoorbeeld in de Category:Churches in Amsterdam afbeeldingen die daar niet thuishoren, namelijk van kerkgebouwen in Vianen en IJsselstein. Van de week kwam ik ook afbeeldingen van kastelen in een cat van gemeentewapens (of vlaggen, daar wil ik af zijn) tegen. Is daar wat aan te doen? Fransvannes 21:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

HOi Frans, niet echt, zie ook mijn antwoord in het onderwerp Botcategorisatie (bis) hierboven. E.e.a. gebeurt automatisch en is zo goed als artikelen waarin de afbeelding wordt gebruikt, de categorieen waarin dat artikel zit en de interwikilinks die het artikel heeft (tenminste, dat zijn de factoren die ik als bepalend heb geobserveerd). Slechte categorisatie is wel hoe dan ook beter dan geen categorisatie, omdat een afbeelding zonder cats en beschrijving op Commons vrijwel reddeloos verloren is. Siebrand 06:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Caracalla bust2.jpg

Hello! I noticed that this image is tagged {{PD-art}}, but it appears to depict a three-dimensional work. Do you have any information on the photographer and what license he/she released the photograph under? If not, can you please contact Josh (the original uploader) to inquire? Thank you! —David Levy 06:32, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi David, the file was uploaded with PD-old and no additional information. I guess it's got to go. Siebrand 08:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

It appears so. I see that Josh has uploaded several images that have been deleted because of copyright violations (though I assume that these stemmed from honest misunderstandings). I've tagged the image and left a note on Josh's Wikipedia talk page (in case he can provide the correct source/licensing information). Thanks again! —David Levy 16:10, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Yep, he's had some notifications on nl.wp. The 'red uploads' are not a really good indicator, as about 50% of the 'own work' images have already been copied to Commons and deleted from nl.wp (~10.000 pcs)., so all users with a lot of own work uploads have 'red' upload logs. Siebrand 18:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Right, I was going by the warning tags on his talk page. —David Levy 20:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:2 resistors in parallel.png and Image:2 resistors in series.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:2 resistors in parallel.png and Image:2 resistors in series.png. I notice the image pages currently don't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created these media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Category:Maps of municipalities of Italy

Please do not upload all the locations maps of Italy in the category Category:Geography of Italy, which becames unusable with scores and scores of unsorted location maps.

Please use at least the appropriate category instead: Category:Maps of municipalities of Italy, or, even better, please upload the maps sorting them by provinces, to spare a duplicate work. Thank you in advance. --G.dallorto 12:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

The images are autocategorised using CommonSense. I cannot help the categorisation. Adding category links and creating categories for cities and villages instead of galleries only - as appears to be done for Italy related subjects - will most definately help... Siebrand 12:42, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Category redirects

I've run my bot through the category redirect and fixed them all today. // tsca [re] 17:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hej. No, I don't use pywikipedia. In this particular case the "bot" was written mostly on the command line (check all the categories, if the category isn't empty then read the redirect template and recategorise the images) and ceased to exist once the task was accomplished. If I need to clean these categories again in the future, I'll have to do it all from scratch. :) // tsca [re] 18:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Weghalen categorieën

Hello, aangezien je op commons wel prima werk doet, en je hier nogal (heel erg goed) je weg kent ;-) Voor zover ik weet zijn categorieën redelijk essentieel op commons ? Deze gebruiker User:MPF haalt op grote schaal categorisatie weg. Hier is maanden terug er al op aangesproken User_talk:MPF#Categorisation, User_talk:MPF#STOP_altering_the_files_properties, ik heb hem op de richtlijnen in Commons:categorisation gewezen, maar hij gaat helaas maar door. Ik heb hier een melding gemaakt Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Vandalism, want dit moet m.i. stoppen, sommigen besteden uren zweet aan het categoriseren, maar ik weet niet of dit de goede plek is om "hulp" in te roepen? Enig idee? Groeten --LimoWreck 21:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Tricky subject. Zie bijvoorbeeld de overlegpagina van COM:TOL. Ik zit in het 'both systems should co-exist'-kamp, net als jij blijkbaar. Teun Spaans is een paar keer erg boos op me geworden omdat hij een andere mening heeft daar waar ik de mijne verkondigde. Er is geen beleid over en geen uitzicht op de korte termijn. Bewerkingsoorlogen en besprekingen in COM:VP zijn bijna aan de orde van de dag. Tenzij het mij direct aan het hart gaande afbeeldingen betreft, zie ik het, met lede ogen, als een fact of life en doe er niets aan... Het lukt gewoon niet. In plaats van het als vandalisme te bestempelen zou je nog kunnen proberen het op Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Attention aan de orde te stellen, beargumenteerd. Maar heb er niet te veel hoop op. Zie bv. ook de overlegpagina van User:Pudding4brains. Groet, Siebrand 22:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Wel ja, een gallerij kan voor mij zeker een meerwaarde hebben, maar dient m.i. niet ter vervanging van automatische categorisatie; maar kan eerder een extra vormen... Wat ik wel weet is dat sommige mensen veel tijd steken in het categoriseren en/of aanvullen van categorieën; en het is dan érg bot als men zomaar het uitgebouwde schema weghaalt, zeker bij categorieën, die niet zo makkelijk hersteld worden en het meer van het "automatische" moeten hebben ... --LimoWreck 22:47, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

imagecopy.py

Uh? What will do this script? ^^ Because, I'm working to a python version of OrphanBot and it's working quite good :) But it needs some fix and other stuff but if you have a similar script, it's not a bad idea if you send it me so i can mix together :) But, maybe they aren't the same script :) Bye, --Filnik 18:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. Have you seen the latest bugfix? :) I think that now the script is good enough to work without problems :)

Check SieBot's uploads. That's what it does. More later, the screen of my notebook broke and now I'm typing on my LCD tv. Have to look sideways all the time and my wife is wachting :-). Won't be online interactively a lot in the coming 2-3 days I expect. Will be reading e-mail. Siebrand 18:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Gefeliciteerd, Beste Administrator!

Een cadeau voor onze nieuwe adminstrator van uw kameraden

Siebrand/Archive03, gefeliciteerd! U hebt nu administrator rechten op Commons. Neem een moment om Commons:Administrators te lezen en plaats gerelateerde pagina's op uw volglijst (speciaal Commons:Administrators' noticeboard en Commons:Deletion requests), voor in verwijderingen, pagina bescherming, gebruiksblokkades of wijzigingen in beveiligde pagina's te duiken. De meerderheid van de acties van administrators kunnen ongedaan worden gemaakt door andere administrators, behalve geschiedenis samenvoegingen, die dus met bijzondere zorg behandeld moeten worden.

Neemt u eens een kijkje op ons IRC kanaal: #wikimedia-commons @ irc.freenode.net.

Hi, you cannot revoke a free license. Could you provide more rationale behind this request? O, wait, I found out you uploader duplicates. In the future please use {{badname|ImageNameToKeep.ext}} so we do not need to have this talk... Cheers! Siebrand 05:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

categorization of Image:Raamsdonkbavokerk.jpg

Hi Siebrand,
Siebot, your bot (?), added a lot of cats to Image:Raamsdonkbavokerk.jpg. I've removed those that IMHO made no sense (Category:Architects by nationality, Category:Architecture by country and Category:Germany) and added a description of the picture that was also missing. -- Túrelio 09:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

The images are autocategorised using CommonSense through CommonsHelper. I cannot help the categorisation. Thank you for fixing it. Siebrand 10:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, but then why is that bot authorized to add wrong (or sort of random) categories that require manual work by other users, not to mention the addition of a meaningless description like "Eigen werk"[7] ? -- Túrelio 12:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Nothing is without error. The categories are close and are valid from a usage perspective: the image is used on pages on the source wiki that are in similar categories to the ones chosen for Commons. The alternatives would be to not put them in any categories at all and let them rot away, or to not ever move them to Commons. It's much more sane to accept the faulty categorisations so that users like you actually see them and are able to correct the categories then the misery and scattered result the other two options have. Demanding manual categorisation makes a job like moving 20.000 images from in this case nl.wp to Commons impossible, and I would not want to think of what this would mean for a possible 250.000 images that can be moved from en.wp. Please think with me on alternative ways to improve the process, but things have been quite well thought out and maximise effectiveness and a workable process. Cheers! Siebrand 13:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
