Hoi Donald Trung, hartelijk dank voor je recente uploads na je bezoek aan het Heiman Dullaertplein. Zoals je wellicht heb gezien, heb ik die foto's in een aparte categorie ondergebracht. Ik woon en werk daar al zo'n 25 jaar om de hoek, en ken(de) dat plein niet anders dan zoals het NRC artikel gisteren beschreef als "ruim en groen in de Rotterdamse volkswijk Delfshaven..." (NRC 01.10.2023, p.4) In de categorie over het plein heb ik alleen die foto's overgelaten, die dat "normale beeld" bevestigen.
Een van deze foto's is jouw foto van de muurschildering op de hoek met de Havenstraat. Nu vroeg ik me af of jij weet wie de maker daarvan is? Ik heb dat zelf proberen na te gaan, maar kon dat zo snel niet vinden. Als je meer weet of te weten kan komen, dan zou dat fijn zijn om dit te vermelden.
Voor de rest volg ik je bijdragen op Wikimedia Commons al geruime tijd met gemengde gevoelens. Zo vraag ik me bijvoorbeeld af, wat de meerwaarde is van een serie van 12 foto's van de politiehekken op het Heiman_Dullaertplein, zie hier. Of zes foto's van het straatnaambordje, zie hier? Nu is dit op zich opbouwend bedoeld. Ik denk dat jouw fotografie er baad zou hebben als je eens een cursus straatfotografie of documentairefotografie zou volgen. Hierbij kan je leren je meer te focussen, meer te variëren en scherper te krijgen wat je zou zou kunnen willen.
Wat dit betreft wel m'n complimenten voor die zes foto's van jou hier. Die zijn wel conceptueel wat sterker... maar daar mist ook nog wat. Zoals je wellicht had gezien, had ik ook een korte serie van documentaire foto's gemaakt op het Heiman Dullaertplein. Die had ik pas geupload nadat ik jouw resultaten gezien had. Hiermee denk ik dat we beide met elkaar een mooie bijdrage hebben geleverd aan de overlevering. Mvg. -- Mdd (talk) 15:20, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Mdd, die politiehekken zijn van het incident en laat zien hoe de politie het heeft afgesloten, ik maak vaak aparte foto's voor landschap en portret modus zodat herbruikers zelf kunnen kiezen welke versie zij beter vinden. Vaak vinden mensen op platforms zoals TikTok of Instagram portretfoto's meer bruikbaar terwijl traditionele media landschapfoto's bruikbaarder vinden. Ik neem vaak foto's van verschillende hoeken zodat het gefotografeerde object in meer detail gezien kan worden, een enkele foto van bijvoorbeeld die stadswinkel laat niet makkelijk zien welke woorden er op het raam geschreven staat en meerdere foto's van de tegels met het oude deelgemeentewapen van Delfshaven laat zien in welke staat van onderhoud deze tegels zijn. Ik weet niet wie die muurschilderingen heeft gemaakt, maar volgens mij is het een permanente openbare schilderij en valt het daardoor onder de Nederlandse panoramavrijheid. — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:48, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Sommige foto's zijn niet goed gelukt omdat het redelijk laat was en de zon geen goede belichting gaf, normaliter maak ik rond deze tijd geen fotos maar ik had eerder die dag geen tijd. Bijvoorbeeld één foto van een straatnaambordje van de 2e IJzerstraat was niet goed gelukt, toen ik de belichting met Google Foto's probeerde aan te passen leek het de "lensflare" niet weg te halen. Verder is fotograferen met een mobiele telefoon vaak gelimiteerd, ik zie dat jij betere appartuur gebruikt en ik prefereer mijn mobiele telefoon omdat ik het dan direct via mijn apparaat kan uploaden. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 15:50, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Oh ja, als reactie op "Die zijn wel conceptueel wat sterker... maar daar mist ook nog wat. Die foto's zijn allemaal slecht gelukt omdat ik (1) niet te dichtbij wou komen omdat ik niet op televisie wou komen, ik ben al vaak genoeg op televisie geweest in mijn eigen land. 😅 (2) een oudere koppel vroeg de weg en ik miste alle goede kansen. De kwaliteit van die foto's is slecht omdat ik met mijn camera inzoomde en zelf niet dichterbij kwam. -- — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:00, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Dit is interessant, in het artikel staat 'Op 15 februari 2023 zullen wij de winnaar bekend maken via onze kanalen!" En dan gebruiken zij de hashtags "#opencall #openmuralcall #mural #muurschildering #newmuralrotterdam #streetart #artist #rotterdam #netherlands #hiphopinjesmoel #hijs #rewriters010" maar ik kan geen enkele kunstenaar van dit kunstwerk vinden via deze hashtags.

Die afbeeldingen werken echt heel vervreemdend op de computer. In de 18 jaar op Wikipedia heb ik zoiets nog niet eerder meegemaakt. Het werkt zeker ontmoedigend, en desoriënterend. Ik had dat in eerste instantie helemaal niet door. Ik wilde een bericht schrijven en dat kon helemaal niet, want het enige wat je op je laptop ziet zijn twee afbeeldingen. Het bewerkingsveld is daar compleet verdwenen. Alsof je in de maling genomen wordt. -- Mdd (talk) 16:48, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Heiman Dullaertplein police fencing off after shooting, Delfshaven, Rotterdam
Hoi Donald Trung, ik heb je serie Heiman Dullaertplein police fencing off after shooting, Delfshaven, Rotterdam (2023) in een aparte categorie ondergebracht, zie Category:Aftermath of the 2023 Rotterdam shootings (police fencing at Heiman Dullaertplein). Eerlijk gezegd vind ik het heel disrespectvol en verwarrend dat je mensen gaat opzadelen met dit soort desinformatie. Ik overweeg zelfs om dit werk voor verwijdering voor te dragen... Er was daar van alles te zien de dag later, en dat heb je met die serie allemaal gemist. Misschien was dit niet de bedoeling... maar zo kan dit wel overkomen. Net als met dat nepnieuws (boven de bewerkingssamenvatting), voel ik me eerlijk gezegd ge-gaslight door dit soort toestanden, ook mede door het dreigement van een boete als je hier niet het juiste zegt. Hoe meer ik hierover zeg, hoe emotioneler dit wordt. Ik vraag me echt af of je helemaal gek bent geworden...!? Maar wellicht is dit gewoon je bedoeling. -- Mdd (talk) 11:19, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Het betreft de volgende mededeling (zie ook hier):
"GEACHTE AANBELLER Als u hier aanbelt om het geloof te verkondigen, of ons iets wilt verkopen dan zullen wij u € 25,00 per gesprek aanrekenen om naar uw verhaal te moeten luisteren. U dient dit bedrag vooraf te betalen ! Door hier aan te bellen gaat u akkoord met alle bovenstaande voorwaarden."
Dit is een soort deurwaardersdreiging... en dreigen met juridische acties op Wikipedia is reden voor onmiddellijke blokkade. Nu ik dit zo voor mezelf realiseer, begrijp ik ook waarom ik helemaal stukloop op deze situatie. Mijn excuses dat ik dit niet wat subtieler onder woorden kan brengen. Ook zo'n permanente archivering bij archive.org. Ik vind het allemaal te gek voor woorden. -- Mdd (talk) 11:40, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Ah, "Er was daar van alles te zien de dag later, en dat heb je met die serie allemaal gemist. Misschien was dit niet de bedoeling... maar zo kan dit wel overkomen. Net als met dat nepnieuws (boven de bewerkingssamenvatting)" je bedoelt omdat het de dag erna was? Begrijp je niet wat de term "aftermath" betekent? Dat betekent dat het erna gebeurde. "After" hoeft niet direct een paar minuten erna te betekenen, je kan ze voor verwijdering nomineren zodat ik misschien je argumenten kan begrijpen sinds ik niet snap wat je hiermee bedoeld. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 12:44, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Ik zie nu pas dat stukje over het Internet Archief (ik zou waarschijnlijk de tijd moeten nemen om te reageren wanneer ik vrij ben maar doe het even nu), Flickr op een mobiele telefoon is erg irritant, elke keer dat ik een foto opent vraagt het mij om te registreren of het vraagt mij om de app (toepassing) te downloaden, via het Internet Archief zie ik de pagina zoals bureaubladgebruikers hem zien en kan ik ook inzoomen (iets wat ook niet op mobiel kan). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:02, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Die edit notice is op deze sjabloon (op mijn mobiele telefoon hierboven, ik kan niet zien hoe het eruit ziet op een bureaublad) gebaseerd. Ik zag dat sommige gebruikers iets humoristisch als edit notice hadden en dacht dat die foto leuk was als zo'n bericht. Het is nooit de bedoeling geweest om tegen iemand offensief te zijn. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:43, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
"The police fencing off a crime scene at the Heiman Dullaertplein street, that is located in the Rotterdammer neighbourhood of Delfshaven, Rotterdam Rechter Maasoever." In retrospect had ik het beter kunnen verwoorden als "an area fenced off by the police", maar in principe gaat het hier over een "afhekking"(?, Nederlands is niet mijn eerste taal, beschutting?) dat door de politie na de misdaad is geplaatst (dus "in the aftermath of"), in deze foto's zijn de agenten eigenlijk juist bezig om een aantal van deze beschuttingen (?) / hekken (?) weg te halen, maar het meerendeel van deze fences staan. Alle foto's zijn rondom deze beschutting gemaakt. Ik zie niet hoe dit "nepnieuws" is? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:51, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

One new wiki has been created: a Wikipedia in Fon (w:fon:) [37]
Changes later this week
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 October. It will be on all wikis from 12 October (calendar).
Starting on Wednesday, a new set of Wikipedias will get "Add a link" (Swahili Wikipedia, Walloon Wikipedia, Waray Wikipedia, Wolof Wikipedia, Kalmyk Wikipedia, Xhosa Wikipedia, Mingrelian Wikipedia, Yiddish Wikipedia, Yoruba Wikipedia, Zhuang Wikipedia, Zeelandic Wikipedia, Min Nan Wikipedia, Zulu Wikipedia). This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to more Wikipedias. The communities can configure how this feature works locally. [38]
At some wikis, newcomers are suggested images from Commons to add to articles without any images. Starting on Tuesday, newcomers at these wikis will be able to add images to unillustrated article sections. The specific wikis are listed under "Images recommendations" at the Growth team deployment table. You can learn more about this feature.[39]
In the mobile web skin (Minerva) the CSS ID #page-actions will be replaced with #p-views. This change is to make it consistent with other skins and to improve support for gadgets and extensions in the mobile skin. A few gadgets may need to be updated; there are details and search-links in the task.
The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC, 18th October 2023 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour October 13, 2023: Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The fifth Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover manually adding authors and publishers from our bibliography into Wikidata. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page. Event page
Is AI lying to us? These researchers built an LLM lie detector of sorts to find out - Tiernan Ray, ZDNET ("Step one is to come up with a list of over 20,000 questions and known answers, drawn from sources such as Wikidata, for which the large language model, in this case, OpenAI's GPT-3.5, can be reliably expected to provide the correct answer.")
