Archive?

Where is a link to your archive? It should not be necessary to go to the history to find where the old stuff is. Or did I miss something? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 12:01, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

If you'd like to link any of my archive-pages here please do so. *g* abf /talk to me/ 14:23, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Image Bunk Bed

I created it. I added the {{PD-self}}. Is that all right now? Miguel Andrade (talk) 09:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Please

1. add {{Information}}.
2. don't remove the no source template yourself when you are the uploader.

Unwanted renaming

Could you please restore the page Valued_image_set:_Fountain_of_the_Place_Royale_in_Nantes.? What you've done just breaks about everything in the VI project template-generated links. I'm the middle of a not-so-simple procedure that is not yet totally automated... Thanks in advance, --Eusebius (talk) 15:52, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I just moved it to User:Eusebiu/Valued image set: Fountain of the Place Royale in Nantes. into your user-namespace, because it has nothing to do with an gallery. Regards, abf /talk to me/ 15:57, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I have moved it back to its own location, where it belongs. The namespace and name are template-generated. Here are the corresponding procedures of the VI project. This is not a personal gallery. Thanks for your understanding. --Eusebius (talk) 16:02, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

What is this kind of result presentation doing in the gallery-namespace? They belong in the Commons-namespace. And another question: why are the images no thumb (as is typical for the FP-gallerys)? Why am I forced to load them that large if I want to see the result? There are users out there who still have no broadband-internet-connection. I don't want to know how long they have to sit until the images are loaded. -- Cecil (talk) 16:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Actually, a VI set is considered a gallery (unlike the nomination page, for instance). So I guess your remarks about thumbnail size are sound. However, I've no authority at all to reply in the name of the project. Slaunger is the creator of the VI project and has made the VIS-gallery template, I'll forward your remarks so that he can modify the template to comply better with the Commons guidelines. --Eusebius (talk) 16:26, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

The Valued image sets are technically speaking galleries, albeit they do not have the default appearance nor the default size. They cannot be compared to FP galleries, because the FP galleries has the purpose of giving a possibility to browse for a particular image and be re-directed to its image page for a larger size view and further details if the user is interested. the Valued image set galleries are the image page equivalents of Images. Ideally they would have been in an Set: name space if a such existed . The Valued Image Sets and their organization was discussed very thoroughly in the period Jan-May 2008, see Commons talk:Valued image candidates and its archives for details. Several administrators were involved in that process and the decision to do it this way was based on consensus. No other administrator has ever uttered that they found it strange that the Valued image sets were in the main name space. All Valued image sets follow the naming scheme:

Valued image set:Scope

I think that if they were to be moved to Commons name space (where I very honestly do not think they belong), their page names would be even more verbose:

Commons:Valued image set:Scope

I do not see a point in having such a long page name.

I think the source of confusion may arise by the fact, that there is still a thumb-sized version of the gallery to be created, which comes into action when the Valued image set is transcluded into an overview page (the equivalent of an image gallery for sets). This template has not been made yet, and I am currently busy in real life, and do not think i will have toime to complete this part in the near future. For instance we currently have this text based Valued image set by scope overview:

Commons:Valued image sets by scope

The reason for the larger than normal size of the images, is that these galleries are not so much for browsing, the images as shown in the order and that size constitutes a set. The size is not arbitrary. They are presented in the agreed review size, which reviewers have used to review the set, when it was a Valued image set candidate. they are supposed to be viewed and appreciated as a set of images in this size such as when you see an image page.

The galleries are the promoted equivalents of the candidates review pages formatted in {{VISC}}. On the candidate level, we already have a {{VISC-thumb}} template for transclusion, where the normal gallery size is used.

I therefore disagree on the viewpoint that the valued image sets do not belong in the main name space. It is currently settled in well-established and stable guidelines, that this is the way we do it. It is OK, if you have another opinion, but then please open a thread about it on Commons:Valued image candidates and let the community discuss it.

Thank you, and now back to my wikibreak. -- Slaunger (talk) 19:22, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Uam logo.svg (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland)

Hello,

Please undelete Uam logo.svg file from Commons you have deleted on 25 of May 2008.

"According to the Polish Copyright Law of February 4, 1994 (Article 4, case 2) "governmental symbols, documents, materials and signs are not subject to copyrights". (...)

Best regards, -- Grzegorz Dubicki (talk) 13:08, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

What was wrong about this. I can't understand your reasons. All information was the same as at original file, licence was OK., it was only cropped version. Why did you deleted it. Ludmiła Pilecka (talk) 13:44, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

On flickr the license was removed. Of course we normally do not delete if it was confirmed the license was there once, but in this case I saw no possibillity to use the file, because we have better images of eylids so I fulfilled 8in my eyes) the wish of the uploader not to have the file shown under a free license anymore. If you disagree please feel free to restore. Regards and Merry Christmas! abf /talk to me/ 13:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I made this cropping just because IMHO there are no better images of it. So I will restore it. Merry Christmas :-) Ludmiła Pilecka (talk) 13:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi ABF/Archive/2008/December. I would like to thank you for the interest you have shown in my request for adminship, and for the time you have taken to review my profile. As a Christmas present I've just been given the admin tools, for which I'm thankful as well. I have understood all the remarks that have been made during the review period. I will take them into account and begin using the tools with much care, until I gain more experience and self-confidence.
