Hello. I contact you because I have a problem with this image: I cannot see the lines of partition. I guess it's a display problem, although I have the last version of Mozilla Firefox. Can you confirm me that the lines are correct in the original image? The arms should look like this : [1] Thank you for your answer. Regards, BrightRaven 21:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I usually don't draw lines of partition, but in this case I should have, because it's not obvious that it's a quartered shield. I will add them. Ipankonin 11:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BrightRaven!

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.

Categorisation in Belgium[edit]

Hallo, thank you for your great efforts and improvements. It is important to know that in Belgium, we only categorise at two levels: country and city/town/village. Although some town/villages/... are belonging to a city, their churches/city halls/castles/people/ ... are are categorised directly at the Belgian level. --Foroa (talk) 19:23, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coats of arms by blazon[edit]

Bonjour,

Comme tu le vois, je me suis donné à fond sur Category:Coats of arms by blazon. Si tu as des idées/conseils, ils sont les bienvenus.

Cdlt, VIGNERON * ^discut. 10:09, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plus je cherche, plus je trouve !

Petite astuce que moi j'utilise : le mot magique PAGENAME.

Par contre, je viens de me rendre compte que j'avais placé de nombreux blasons dans Category:Lions in heraldry au lieu des sous-catégories.

Petite question : je pense renommer Category:Cercelée in heraldry en Category:Cross moline in heraldry, qu'en penses-tu ?

Et sinon, sais-tu faire fonctionner Catscan ? (chez moi, il mouline mais ne donne aucune résultats...)

Cdlt, VIGNERON * ^discut. 14:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

J'ai été demandé sur le projet héraldique anglophone, wait and see.

Catscan marche finalement (mais rame pas mal), ça peut-être utile pour croiser les catégories sur les formes et celles sur les couleurs.

Cdlt, VIGNERON * ^discut. 09:19, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Effectivement, j'ai fait un peu trop vite (surtout que la Croatie est passé de "argent et gueules" à "geules et argent", confusionnant tout ça). Hésite pas à passer et corriger derrière moi (je ne suis pas un grand spécialiste de l'héraldique).

Je suis parti à faire les catégories par nombres de meubles (Category:2 roses in heraldry et Category:3 roses in heraldry), je pense continuer (avec les étoiles notamment). Qu'en penses-tu ? Que faire des blasons qui possèdent deux fois deux étoiles ? On les mets dans deux ou quatre étoiles ? (pour le moment, je fais plutôt le premier, ce qui me semble plus logique héraldiquement mais plus contre-intuitif...)

PS : j'ai entamé une discussion sur fr:Discussion Projet:Blasons sur le nommage des fichiers.

Cdlt, VIGNERON * ^discut. 08:35, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PPS : je suis un peu perdu dans les chefs. Est-ce que un chef est forcément un semé (Chef de France semble dire que non) et dans cas cas, est-ce que File:Blason Rennes.svg peut aller dans Category:Chiefs ermine in heraldry ? Idem pour les chefs à 4 ou 5 fleur-de-lys, chef de France ou pas ? Cdlt, VIGNERON * ^discut. 10:42, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, dans ce cas, il faudrait plutôt Category:Chiefs with ermine spots in heraldry ? (question théorique ; pas sur que ce soit justifié du point de vue du nombre de blasons concernés)

Même chose pour les abeilles du "chef d'empire" ? (là, il y a potentiellement plus de candidats).

Blason et catégorisation[edit]

Salut,

Je me posais un peu la même question. Par exemple, quand un blason contient 2 étoiles car il est écartelé avec deux blasons contenant 1 étoile chacun, dois-je catégoriser dans 1 ou 2 étoiles ? (pour l’instant, j’ai juste pas catégorisé les blasons composés).

Donc, je suis d’accord avec toi, les catégories actuelles ne sont pas assez fines pour bien catégoriser. Par contre, pour les noms je ne sais pas. Je dois dire que je ne suis pas vraiment convaincu par la forme de tes noms. Plutôt que Category:Jerusalem (COA element), je verais Category:Coats of arms composed with the jerusalem cross. De mon côté, je commence à réfléchir à une modèle qui catégoriserait directement à partir du blasonnement (mais il y a du boulot).

Pour la croix grecque, a priori je suis pour mais je te suggère de d’abord en discuter avec le créateur de la catégorie (Ludger1961 (talk · contribs)).

Cdlt, VIGNERON * ^discut. 10:00, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

"Hello. I noticed you have added multiple categories to the File:Arpad coa.svg. Imho, these categories are not appropriate because they are too general. Actually, "files should only be in the most specific category that exists for certain topic" (see Commons:Categories#For more appropriate categorization). By the way, I noticed you upload many coats of arms. Maybe you could categorize them in a better way, when uploading them. If you need some help about the categorization of coats of arms do not hesitate to ask me. Best regards, BrightRaven (talk) 10:14, 26 March 2010 (UTC)"

I can't nothing about the categories. Firstly, because my English is bad. Secondly, I don't know too much things about coats of arms. I'm making pictures for the http://hu.wikibooks.org/wiki/Heraldikai_lexikon I'm just drawing. If you can help me, thats good. If you have enough time, you can see my pictures and please sort them correctly. I'm sorry, I can just drawing.

Saxon Arms on British COAs[edit]

I have sources, including Boutell's which states otherwise, where is yours? Sodacan (talk) 15:42, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

'Boutell's heraldry': "...in the Shield of Saxony-Barry of ten or and sa., over all a chaplet of rue vert" Page 109. And now yours? Sodacan (talk) 16:38, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid if we are going to properly get into this, then we cannot base anything on opinion (I don't have an opinion myself, one way or the other), my sources however are modern and states quite clearly so. Lets go and find more and then comeback soon then we can see who has more sources, since I am quite curious to know the truth. The alternatives for the 'right/or wrong' blazon have been made and is just sitting on my desktop, when we come to a conclusion I will be ready. So bring me your arguments, so we can end it once and for all. Best Regards, Sodacan (talk) 17:04, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Sorry to jump in) - I thought it would be quite easy to find an answer to that just looking at contemporary reliefs and paintings of coats of arms of members of the British Royal House, but it is proving to be more hard to find such images at Commons than I initially thought.

Incidentally, I've found this intriguing painting (right). What are those coats of arms on the back of the seats, and why they do not ressemble the royal coats of arms of both of them, and why the Wettin coat is absent? -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 17:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what is going on with that painting, it looks like France (ancient) quartering England and impaled with something (Flanders?) I think the painting will only complicate things. Sodacan (talk) 17:12, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that was enough to understand the painting and the COAs. It's a masquerade, so they were dressed as Edward III and Filipa de Hainault. That's where those coats of arms come from, though they seem to be standing in front of each other seat in the painting. This painting does not help in your question, indeed, sorry for the intermission.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 17:31, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Victorians and their Gothic fetish! I should have known. And Thank you, by the way for the categorisation (correctly) of so many images, it is such a great improvement from before. Marvellous work indeed! Sodacan (talk) 17:39, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources of "Or and Sable"[edit]

'The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales' by Sir Bernard Burke (of Burke's Peerages fame) (1878), in his description of the COA of the Prince of Wales: barry of ten or and sa., a crown of rue in bend vert, for SAXE-COBURG.
'The Royal Heraldry of England' by Pinces and Pinces (I use this alot) (1974), Description for Prince Albert: Or and Sable, for Ernest I and II (Albert's father and brother, respectively): Barry of ten or and sable. The book also have images of the Garter stall plates of Prince Albert, Prince Ernest II, Albert Edward Prince of Wales, Alfred, Duke of Edinburg and Leopold, Duke of Albany all showing: Or and sable.

This plus both Boutell and Fox-Davies, is my main argument. As you can see this is where I might have gone wrong (or right). Is it possible that Boutell himself got it wrong? and just spread it down to all the others? Anyway here is my case, no opinions, just sources (wish I have more images to show off though). Sodacan (talk) 17:42, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for intervention one year later. May I add to the confusion ? I have found two sources in old pictures:

By Hiérosme de Bara, 1581
In the "Encyclopédie" by Diderot and d'Alembert, ca.1760

I'm sorry it will not help...--Jebulon (talk) 15:21, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contemporary images of Albert coat of arms[edit]

Or and sable, no label
Sable and or, with label
Lateral COAs in the memorial which seem to represent the union between both Houses

Well, I finally succeeded in my quest for contemporary images of Albert's COA, and found those interesting representations among the pictures of his memorial, though they do not answer your questions, but rather complicate them. Both COA are from the same time and were part of the memorial commissioned by Queen Victoria, so they must be accurate. However, both of them present two different versions of the COA, one with barry of ten or and sable and without the cadency argent (some say "white") three point label on the British COA, and another with barry of ten sable and or, and with the cadency label.

I'm not an expert of this, but could it be that the first is the kingdom's COA and the second is his personal COA? -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:07, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid to say this but the 'Or and Sable' one, is wrong, Prince Albert's arms in the UK quarter (1 and 4) has a label of three points with a cross gules in the middle label, the first example does not have this, the second 'Sable and Or' however does. Great find, but still doesn't answer nothing. Sodacan (talk) 19:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note, this book "The church heraldry of Norfolk: a description of all coats of arms on brasses, monuments, slabs, hatchments, &c., now to be found in the county. Illustrated. With references to Blomefield's History of Norfolk and Burke's Armory. Together with notes from the inscriptions attached" (1887), Author: Farrer, Edmund, [2] describes at least three different variations of Saxony's barry of ten:

sable and or, p. 6 XXVII (Prince Albert COA?)
or and sable, p. 191 V 2
sable and argent, p. 262 I, coat of arms of Princess Helena, p. 207 XXXIX, COA next to the one of Queen Victoria)

Everyone is noted as "Saxony", without any comments saying there's n error in the colours (he placed such comments in other instances of coats of arms occasionally). I know this is not a proper source for this matter, but may be of some help.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:50, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now, maybe this would be of some help, finally. See "The book of public arms : a complete encyclopædia of all royal, territorial, municipal, corporate, official, and impersonal arms" (1915) by Fox-Davies, Arthur Charles, pages 698-707 [3]:

Sable and or: Kindom of Saxony, Duchy of Saxe-Altheburg, Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen-Hildburghausen, Duchy oh Anhalt, Liechteinstein
Or and sable: Saxony (province of Prussia), also the same in the COA of Prussia, p. 632

Here "or and sable" is only applied to the COA of Saxony when it refers to the province of Prussia. This difference could have been the source of all confusion, or is it something that was only defined after that (the book is from 1915)?-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 21:31, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Genealogy simplified and applied to the illustration of British history", 1843, Archibald Barrington, p. 89 [4], describes Albert's CoA as "barry of ten, sable and argent".

"Lectures on heraldry", 1844, Archibald Barrington, p. 187, specifies the Saxony quarter in Albert COA as "ten barry or and sable".

A Complete Guide to Heraldry, Arthur Charles Fox-Davies, 1909, describing prince Leopold COA: "quarterly with the arms of his illustrious House [' Barry of ten sable and or, a crown of rue in bend vert '], the Royal Arms in the first and fourth quarters", then says it was followed by Queen Victoria to his husband CoA (this was already mentioned by Bright Raven)

Some Saxe CoAs:

Old CoAs of Saxe[edit]

Dukes of Saxe, 15th century

Or and sable[edit]

Ernstine?, c. 1475–1500
John Frederick I, Duke of Saxe, 1544, Ernstine
Electors of Saxony, Ernstine? CoA at Targau, date unknown
Sachsen-Merseburg, 1751, Ernstine

Sable and or[edit]

John George II, Duke of Saxe, 1673, Albertine
1815, Ernstine, created new
King of Saxe, 1897, Albertine

Wiki-de apparently says that before 1817 Saxony-Anhalt (corresponds to the Prussian Province of Saxony) used or and sable, as in the coat of Ballenstedt, origin of the House of Anhalt. Then in 1817 (Province of Saxony was created in 1815) it started being sable and or. Then in 1864 it was fixed on or and sable, to avoid confusion with the Kingdom of Saxony coat of arms, wich was sable and or. This is confirmed here.

As you can see above, both versions "or and sable" and "sable and or" were used prior to the formation of the Kingdom of Saxony, but whatever they were, the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Saxony became "barry of ten sable and or" by 1815 with Frederick Augustus I, the first king, and remained so until today.

Now, looking at the examples above, it seems possible that there could have been a distinction between Ernstine and Albertine, the former using or and sable, and the later sable and or. I don't know if it was so, and couldn't find any explanation for those variations. In any case, it would explain the "or and sable" in Prince Albert COA. It's also possible that by 1840 the traditional CoA of Saxony was still "or and sable". This seems to be confirmed in Boutell's 1868 "Heraldry, ancient and modern", when he says that "the ancient arms of Saxony were or nd sable" (page 285).

It's hard to explain, however, why Leopold would adopt "sable and or". It could be that the info by Fox-Davies was inaccurate - he placed it between squared brackets, which seems to imply that it was his own comment and not nothing actually written. See here and here the coincidence alluded to by Fox-Davies, it only says "the arms of His illustrious House" without actually defining them). However, it doesn't seem to be the case, as the arms were indeed registered in the College of Arms as "sable and or" in 1818, at least according to this 1830 book: [5] (On the other hand, the same notice in this 1818 bulletin doesn't include the description of the Saxony arms. Was the 1830 version apocryphal?). The register was made in 1818, almost at the same time that the tinctures for Saxony (Kingdom) were settled at "sable and or". I wonder if they were adopted in the CoA of Leopold as a diplomatic identification with the Kingdom of Prussia, but here we are, of course, within the realms of supposition.

Or maybe the order of the tinctures was somewhat aleatory back then. Maybe in 1815 the fashion was "sable and or" for Saxony, while by 1840 it was again "or and sable" in an attempt to revive the "old CoA of Saxony" ("Saxony moderne").

After all I've researched, I still couldn't come to a certain conclusion about this, though "or and sable" seem to be, by far, the most common version in the literature for Albert's CoA and "Saxony moderne". I'll start cataloguing all the Saxony derivatives according to the barry and order of tinctures, and we'll see what comes out of it.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 08:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your effort for trying to solve this problem is impressive. Thank you for that. I understand that there is no simple solution: nor barry of ten or and sable, nor barry of ten sable and or can be simply considered as wrong. So I suggest to remove all the barry of ten or and sable from the Category:Disputed coats of arms. Thank you again for your help. BrightRaven (talk) 17:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'm glad I could help, even if no definitive conclusion could be reached. Katepanomegas also has found a royal decree from 1880 which establishes the Saxony tinctures in the Belgian Royal House coats of arms as "or and sable" (which does not mean they were that way before the decree, of course). I'm puzzled by all the flip-flopping with the tinctures of Saxony during the 19th century, but sadly couldn't find any meaningful explanation for that in the available literature. However, the above reference to "or and sable" as being "the ancient colours of Saxony" seems to point to some kind of "return to origins" fashion starting sometime before mid 19th century, as opposed to "sable and or - Kingdom of Saxony" fashion of 1815 which was afterwards perhaps perceived by some as an unwanted heraldic innovation.

In any case, both versions seem to have been used in the early times of the Saxon duchy. There's a very comprehensive study available at Google Books, Der sächsische Rautenkranz: heraldische Monographie (1863) which, while dealing primarily with the Saxon cranceline, sheds some light into the Saxony bars/barry issue, including some nice plates at the end of the book which would be good to have here at Commons. Unfortunately I don't read German, and could only grasp what is written there using Google translate, but it seems to be quite interesting, and includes document based dispelling of the myths surrounding the vert cranceline, including the one about Barbarossa which can still be found in profusion nowadays, even in official websites and heraldic studies.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:08, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removed category:Emblemata[edit]

Stop it, please! Pictures like "File:Rot an der Rot St. Johann Emblem 03.jpg" belong to Category:Emblemata. Thanks, --Hermetiker (talk) 10:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, an emblem consists of three components usually: "Lemma" (or "inscriptio"), "Icon" (or "pictura") and "Epigramm" (or "subscriptio"). In the picture of "Rot an der Rot" is the Lemma: "POST FATA SUPERSTES", the Icon is the mythical bird Phoenix and the Epigramm consists of the words: "Dem Phönix gleich aus Grabes Gruft Er sich und uns zum Leben ruft". It is irrelevant, whether the Emblem is in an "emblem book" or in a church as a fresco (in the majority of cases emblems are in books). Sometimes the Epigramm is missing like in the picture of "Weißenau". This emblem only consists of Lemma and Icon, but belongs to Category:Emblemata, too. Category:Emblemata cannot be a subcategory of category:Printmaking or category:16th century books! It doesn't make sense. Kind regards --Hermetiker (talk) 09:19, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would propose the following: Category:Emblemata is reserved only for Emblem books. For emblems in churches, monasteries etc. we create Category:Applied Emblemata (or something like that). Kind regards --Hermetiker (talk) 19:05, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour¡ BrightRay: (il fait deja beaucoup que je ne écris pas en francais, escusez-moi)

J'ai reÇue votre appel-mail, bien sûre. Je suis novice (recrue) au Wikipedie et alors peut être j'aurai fait quelque chose mauvaisement. Moi, je m'excuse sincèrement.

De plus, des photos et les dessins sont'ils faits par moi et ma famille (il fait deja temps): mon père des photos et ma soeur les dessins. Elle est encore une grande peinte¡ Cependant je nes sais pas si les covertures ont de droits apres 30 années. Nous n'avons recue pas d'argent pour notres photos et dessins.

Quarterly x and y[edit]

Bonjour. Je reste perplexe quand tu écris coat of arms whose blazon is exactly "Quarterly gules and argent". J'y ai mis des blasons de ce type mais qui comportent des meubles. Doivent-ils retourner dans Quarterly shields ou ont-ils droit à cette catégorie ? Question valable pour d'autres écartelés... Cordialement, ℍenry (Babel talk !) (Francophone ?) 18:46, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Le problème d'une catégorie stricte est qu'il n'y aura guère de blasons dudit modèle, comme actuellement dans Category:Quarterly argent and gules d'autant qu'entre nous, il est plutôt improductif de redessiner un blason qui existe déjà : pour le moment, il ne devrait en fait n'y en avoir que deux, l'écu allemand et l'écu français, non ? Sinon, c'est faisable et ça désengorgerait les autres cat dont celle que je découvre : Category:Counter-quarterly shields ! Tu vois que je ne suis pas très doué en blasonnement engliche ! En fait, c'est dans Category:Quarterly or and gules (Loupes) et dans Category:Quarterly gules and or (Baigneaux) que j'ai versé des blasons - Tu peux modifier si tu veux, n'est-ce pas ! -. Cordialement, ℍenry (Babel talk !) (Francophone ?) 12:19, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Autre sujet concernant les catégories, j'ai commencé à mettre quelques traductions comme dans Category:Flax in heraldry ou Category:Beehives in heraldry. Qu'en penses-tu ? Autre truc, je ne sais pas bien faire la différence entre Category:Gorses in heraldry et Category:Genisteae in heraldry, genêt et ajonc, ça se ressemble terrible ! Cordialement, ℍenry (Babel talk !)

File:MarleneAguilar 06.jpg File:Tbw 400px.jpg File:The Key Cover 'red'.jpg[edit]

Greetings Sir,

Please be advised that I have personally asked Miss Marlene Aguilar if I could use her photographs for Wikipedia including the cover of her books. She agreed.

I am one of her soul children. Her supporters call her She Dragon. I am part of a group of freedom fighters who belong to She Dragon's Army.. have been in her home several times. Recently, on October 9, 2012 I protested with her in public in front of the Supreme Court against Cybercrime Law.

I just spoke to her on my mobile phone now and she says she is willing to write a letter of authorization for me allowing me to use the photographs I posted on Wikipedia. She added that she is willing to email you or call you on the phone. Also, if it please you, you may call he mobile phone +639209073521. She may also be reached via Skype - marlene.aguilar23.

Thank you! Jeryco Amor Mora

Canal Albert[edit]

Je ne comprends pas cette obsession à détruire des photos, qui sont depuis bientôt 6 ans sur la wikipedia et dont personne directement concernée (héritier) n'a réclamé la destruction. Si l'on continue ainsi, il n'y aura bientôt que des natures mortes sur la Wikipédia. J'ai l'impression que vous essayez d'être plus catholique que la pape en matière de copyright. Je ne vois pas en quoi l'auteur ou ses héritiers pourraient être lésés, que du contraire, cela fait la promotion d'artistes depuis longtemps oubliés. Je ne suis pas juriste, mais je voudrais bien des preuves juridiques plus concrètes comme quoi la publication sans but lucratif de cette photo serait interdite. A chaque fois qu'il y a un événement à cet endroit, la presse publie des photos de ce monument et personne n'a jamais réclamé.--Flamenc (talk) 15:48, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Commons est une base de données d'images libres, pouvant également être utilisées pour des buts commerciaux. C'est le principe de base de Commons. Je ne fais qu'appliquer les principes de Commons. Si vous n'êtes pas d'accord avec ses principes, vous pouvez tenter de les remettre en cause. Ça ne sert à rien de se plaindre pour ce cas particulier. BrightRaven (talk) 07:33, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

J'ai lu la loi sur le copyright belge (pas une lecture facile pour un non juriste) et je n'y ai rien trouvé qui justifierait l'effacement de cette photo, qui ne montre pas uniquement la statue, mais je vous dis, je ne suis pas juriste: loi sur le copyright belge. Je propose de demander l'avis à l'organisme (SABAM) en question la semaine prochaine. Non pas pour cette seule photo - je n'ai aucun lien émotionnel, même si je l'aime bien - mais pour la juste cause de l'information libre. La loi est ce qu'elle est et même si je la trouve en certains aspects injuste, ce n'est pas ici qu'on pourra la changer. Ce n'est pas non plus une raison pour aller plus loin que la loi. Aussi a-t-elle été rédigée au début des années 90 quand Wikipedia n'existait pas encore et l'internet était tout jeune.--Flamenc (talk) 13:01, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

« …loi22 qui dispose que "Lorsque l'œuvre a été licitement publiée, l'auteur ne peut interdire: 1°(…); 2° la reproduction et la communication au public de l'œuvre exposée dans un lieu accessible au public, lorsque le but de la reproduction ou de la communication au public n'est pas l'œuvre elle-même".” Ça me semble donc très clair : le but de la photo est d'illustrer le début (ou la fin) du canal Albert et de sa confluence avec la Meuse, et pas l'oeuvre elle-même, donc pour moi, la photo est licite.

J'en conclus aussi que c'est l'auteur (ou je suppose ses héritiers) qui doivent faire la démarche pour interdire une publication. Quoiqu'il en soit, j'apprécie la discussion, j'apprends beaucoup. --Flamenc (talk) 14:57, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wat Rat Praditthan?[edit]

Hi.

You seem to have quite a knowledge of Ayutthaya temples.

But I doubt, that you can see Wat Rat Praditthan (On most maps it is written Wat Ratcha Praditsathan? Do we talk about the same one?) from Wat Mahathat. Isn't it rather Wat Ratchaburana, that is just north of Wat Mahathat?

Wat Rat Praditthan also doesn't seem to have such a prang like Wat Ratchaburana (see: http://www.ayutthaya-history.com/Temples_Ruins_Rachapraditsathan.html)

File:David François Mellinet MRAHM.jpg[edit]

Bonjour BrightRaven

Le problème avec David, c'est que l'on trouve énormément de fausses attributions (ça fait l'objet d'un chapitre dans le catalogue David de 1989), soit pour faire passer des tableaux anonyme pour des œuvres du maître (pour faire monter la cote), soit parce que le style peut de près ou de loin faire penser à David. Dans ce cas précis, aucune des sources sur David (Schnapper, Bordes, Hautecœur, Lévèque, Lee, Nanteuil, Michel etc.) ne le mentionne ni même ne publie l'image du tableau. Donc aucune des sources sur David ne fait cette attribution ni meme ne signale son existence. Je constate que le style diffère des portraits de David (plus habitué à faire des portraits de face), et s'apparenterait plus au style de son élève Georges Rouget qui a fait des allers-retour entre Paris et Bruxelles à l'époque pour aider son ancien maître en exil, et qui a fait beaucoup de portraits d'officier généraux de l'Empire, mais je ne me risquerait pas à tenter quelque attribution que soit. Cordialement Kirtap (talk) 14:10, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

J'avais justement créé une catégorie category:Circle of Jacques-Louis David pour répertorier les tableau d'attribution douteuses ou erronées. Il serait plus correct de mettre "entourage de Jacques-Louis David" car une seule source pour attribuer ce tableau, et qui n'est pas spécialisée sur David, est insuffisante (la source prétend aussi que le musée détient un portrait de Napoléon par David, or aucun portrait de Napoléon par David ne se trouve en Belgique, ils sont aux Etats-Unis, en France, en Allemagne, et en Autriche). L'attribution doit faire consensus chez les spécialistes de David qui font autorité, or aucune de ces deux sources n'est spécialisée sur David. J'ai refais une vérification dans l'ouvrage récent de Philippe Bordes Jacques-Louis David, Empire to exile, et aucune mention de ce portrait n'y figure, meme pas le nom de Mellinet. David a fait un portrait du général Meunier (son gendre), je me demande si certains ne font pas une confusion. Cordialement Kirtap (talk) 12:05, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

L'institution qui possède le tableau, n'est pas une autorité, de plus c'est un musée militaire et non d'art, d'autant qu'il est commun pour les musées qui possedent un tableau de l'attribuer abusivement à un artiste reconnu, ça attire les visiteurs, sur ce point le musée n'est pas une source fiable car il n'est pas indépendant. Le minimum est qu'un historien d'art qui fait autorité soit au moins cité pour confirmer l'attribution, ici ce n'est pas le cas, qui fait cette attribution ? Qui est le conservateur responsable ? Est il notoire dans les études davidiennes comme Antoine Schnapper ou Régis Michel ? Le point de vue est minoritaire. Si tu connais un livre sur David qui mentionne ce tableau et qui l'attribue à David, on pourrait réviser le jugement, mais faute de confirmation par un tiers qui fait autorité, pour l'instant l'attribution est douteuse. Par exemple dans cet ouvrage sur David Jacques-Louis David: New Perspectives aucune mention, pas plus dans celle là Jacques-Louis David: Empire to Exile (que j'ai déja cité), idem dans celui-ci, David Pour la peinture et je n'ai retenu que des ouvrages récents.

Hello BrightRaven! Thank you for a detailed reply and explanations, they are very helpful and help me understand how Wikipedia works.

I was informed that this was done. Do I now wait for these images to reappear on Czeslaw Znamierowski wiki page and are you able to see from your end if the permissions have been in fact submitted? I would like to resume editing the article as soon as possible :) Also I contacted and am waiting for permission regarding the soviet bracelet image (File:SOVIET SILVER BRACELET.jpg), that permission should be sent soon.

Deleting Miltossachtouris.jpg Giannapersaki.jpg Evapersaki.jpg and all the other pictures for the artists concerned[edit]

Dear Brighraven,

Thank you for putting a request to delete all the pictures that we recently uploaded. I just wanted to clarify that we do have the copyrights to use those images as those have come initially from our family archives or have taken by our camera and mobile phones. I am the granddaughter of Ms. Gianna Persaki and Mr. Miltos Sachtouris and have recently asked my assistant to improve their page in wikipedia as it is not well written and also lacks of information or it is inaccurate. I do have documentation to prove you the family relationship and the copyrights so you know that i am authorised. I understand wikipedia is a website when informs the public about real information and i believe having pictures of the work or the portraits of so important artists will give to the public and their fans an extra insight.

I hope that you understand and that you will undelete all those files. If you wish me to send you paperwork do not hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

Gianna

In regards to the question of the aforementioned picture. I am the creator of this photo and although it was used as part of our Kickstarter Campaign I did not release my copyrights to Kickstarter and am therefore free to use this in many of our media sources. This picture was taken in our business on a desk in one of the offices. We individually own the picture, the desk, the books in the desk and am unclear why this has been flagged as a violation, but please let me know if this has answer any concerns you may have. Thank you for watching over the site and I look forward to clarifying any further questions or concerns you may have.

Question[edit]

Why have you added {{No permission since}} to File:Bacterial art.png? The template says that the file "has an author and a source, but there is no proof that the author agreed to license the file under the given license." But this isn't true—the image has no external source listed, and no author listed (other than the original uploader, Paenigenome). All it has is some information about where the images were produced, at Prof. Ben-Jacob's lab at Tel-Aviv University. So I don't understand why additional permission, besides that granted by the uploader, is needed. —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 21:19, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lac d'Alfeld - Schrifttafel zur Erklärung am Stausee.JPG[edit]

Hi,

I hope, I´m right here. Why did you delete the picture with the file Lac d'Alfeld - Schrifttafel zur Erklärung am Stausee.JPG ??? What means FOP? I dont find anything about this...

Thanks for your answer...

Hi,

ok, I understand this. If I would take a picture with a very good camera from the complete statue and, because of the high definition and the big number of pixel, its possible, that everybody could read the sign, could this be ok?

Thanks...

I think it is unfair that you are deleting every single one of these photos, i totally contest and think that maybe a few can be kept but i think that detail of art from quito is very important

i am also using these on many user pages of mine from many languages, so the files are being used

Yours sincerely, David Adam Kess (talk) 10:33, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

sounds great, so please delete all the pics, i will have the artist set up a wikipedia account and take the pictures himself and then he will have the authorization, and how would you suggest that they being the scope of wikipedia,

File:Barflies by George Chakravarthi.jpg and File:Olympia by George Chakravarthi.jpg[edit]

You have changed the categories for a number of images I have uploaded. File:Barflies by George Chakravarthi.jpg, for example, you have taken out of 'Video art' and added it to a subcategory of 'Photography'. This image is a still from a video art piece, so I believe your re-categorisation is incorrect. Exactly the same applies to File:Olympia by George Chakravarthi.jpg

I don't object to your addition of categories particularly, but I do to the removals. Please let me know your logic. RichardSkelding (talk) 14:22, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have used the Artwork template for the images (apart from File:Thirteen by George Chakravarthi.jpg because this is a photograph of an exhibition of some of Chakravarthi's artwork). All of the images seem to have deletion warnings associated with them now, I don't know why. Would you be kind enough to have a look to see if my changes and additions are sufficient, and let me know if I can improve upon them? Thank you.

Deleted photos[edit]

Hi BrightRaven. I'm writing you regarding this problem. Let me explain, Wikimedia Serbia is organizing an edit-a-thon in collaboration with Museum of Naive and Marginal Arts. I've uploaded those deleted files thinking that they are going to send permissions on time, but because of some unexpected circumstances, it has been prolonged. Now, we do have those permissions. Do I have to upload files again or is it possible to bring them back? The edit-a-thon is happening tomorrow. Thanks in advance! --IvanaMadzarevic (talk) 15:22, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Historical Marker "Carlisle Military School"[edit]

== Historical Marker Carlisle Military School == This is a public historical roadside marker on public property in Bamberg, SC, USA - not a copyrighted artwork. It appears the rules used by some editors on wiki is applied as a personal opinion. For example another historical marker (used as an example because there are literally thousands of them on wikipedia) is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Herman_Melville_Historical_Marker.jpg. Please enlighten me on why the roadside marker I posted does not meet the same standard.

Cancellazione delle immagini relative ai dipinti: Vincenzo Irolli, Vittorio Gussoni , Ole Ring (una opera per ciascuno di questi)[edit]

Gent. BrightRaven,

appreziamo il tuo impegno per migliorare la qualità dell'Enciclopedia Libera Wikipedia, ma riteniamo indispensabile chiarire quanto segue.

La fondazione Lorenzo Pacini è in essere da oltre 40 anni, si occupa di Arte applicata: Pittura, Scultura, antica e contemporanea, vetri d'Arte, tessuti pregiati ecc. Con la finalità primaria di rendere pubblico un messaggio artistico, che possa essere capito da tutti.

Molte opere sono di proprietà o lasciate in affidamento alla fondazione. A tale proposito, e al fine di renderle note, abbiamo ritenuto opportuno pubblicarle su Wikipedia, per poterle far conoscere ad un pubblico più vasto, che magari possa interessarsi allo studio di quegli artisti, sicuramente importanti, ma che non sono sulla bocca di tutti.

Ogni opera che abbiamo o vorremmo pubblicare è assolutamente svincolata da copyright, in quanto per ciascuna di queste, abbiamo le adeguate autorizzazioni alla pubblicazione e siamo con serietà e professionalità in grado di garantire la loro libera pubblicazione.

Ti invitiamo a prendere atto di quanto dichiariamo e se puoi aiutaci, facilitando il nostro lavoro.

Cancellare le foto, come hai fatto, complica lo sviluppo di questo progetto. Ti assicuriamo la totale e assoluta onestà e correttezza del nostro lavoro.

Stiamo provvedendo, al fine di non incappare in questi "incidenti" ad attivare la procedura che tu stesso indichi.

Cordiali saluti.

Il gruppo di Studio Lorenzo Pacini D'Arte

Bots[edit]

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary.
Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Bonjour, n'ayant pas les outils d'un administrateur je ne savais pas tout de l'historique du téléversement, ce que je n'ai pas aimé c'est la "confusion" du contributeur qui mélange auteur et celui qui téléverse, voir aussi File:Caceria en lachar.JPG (mal recadrée) avec les mentions d'auteur et travail personnel parfaitement contradictoires avec les métadonnées et son manque de sérieux car chaque photo de Andrespg11 doit être catégorisée par d'autres, c'est de l'opportunisme (POVP). --Doalex (talk) 09:14, 30 July 2015 (UTC)_ En tout cas la photo de 2006 est exactement la même que celle qui figure en 2015, c'est ce que j'aimerais lire.[reply]

Request for clarification, deletion of image Lighting McQueen.jpg[edit]

I don't fully understand why you deleted an image of a life sized replica of Lightning McQueen. It wasn't my photograph, so my question is more my own education. There is a whole category on Wikimedia Commons dealing with the movie Cars (film). Several images in that category are of the same car, or of the other Cars (film) vehicles built for promotional use. Likewise, numerous images of unique cars developed to promote other movies (e.g., Batmobile, Herbie the Love Bug, Mystery Machine) are littered throughout Wikimedia commons. For that matter, since this car is repeatedly displayed and paraded at Disney attractions, what makes it different than images taken of other Disney attractions, also available on Wikimedia Commons? What was the significant difference here that warranted deletion of this particular image? Thank you, --KMJKWhite (talk) 16:32, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
