The Brilliant Idea Barnstar

Hello! Words are powerless to express my gratitude for Yours uploading Earth observation image of the week, described, tagging, categorization. Thank you very much! Ii it stable project? On ESA's site 633 images in that category now, but I didn't see Category:ESA Earth observation image of the week or something else. Only by satellite. Where I can see all pictures of this project?

And Happy New Year! Dim Grits (talk) 11:43, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Automation of categorization is very limited, and the import is more generic than image of the week. The details are at User:Fæ/Project list/ESA, which explains that images are checked each day by searching for new CC-BY-SA licensed images. Many images are not available under this license. All new images uploaded are placed in Category:ESA images (review needed) as they all need human review and categorization.

The upload routine makes several assumptions and is not currently especially smart or defensive. It could be that images have been missed and I have no way of avoiding uploading non-identical duplicates (e.g. different jpeg compressions of the same photograph). I may revisit how it works in 2018, especially if as planned the ESA changes the licenses of video files, so any suggestions on what could be realistically automated as part of the upload would be appreciated. If you want to see all uploaded files, you can play with https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=1144066 and adjust the page properties from a max age of 168 hours to anything you want. But not right now, I'm spending most of my time in bed recovering from what looks like H3N2 which my flu jab in October was useless against.

images in the Robinson maps of the Bronx published in 1888 category

Fæ - Can you provide me with advice on how correct a "purpleish" color issue with the three files in the category "Robinson maps of the Bronx published in 1888"? Is there a correct way to re-upload the files? The (current) originals from NYPL do not have the "purpleish" color issue. Thank you in advance. HugoHelp (talk) 18:17, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

This is probably a browser specific bug with how colour profiles are rendered. It has been discussed a few times on the village pump. See Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2017/07#300MB_image and try viewing in different browsers. --Fæ (talk) 12:54, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

HMRC Flickr photos

There are quite a few interesting CC-BY-2.0 images here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hmrcgovuk/ Any chance of you sucking them up in your machine? I have done a few already by hand. Taxation is an area that is quite hard to illustrate on Wikipedia. Some are mugshots of criminals. I don't know if we want those. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:43, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Rather than a machine, it's more like living in a junkyard and being unable to remember exactly what's in it. Category:Photographs by HM Revenue & Customs. I can pick out albums to upload, or filter on a regex to choose albums. Kind of deliberately, uploads can be left to run, but run slow; at the moment 45s or so per image.

I can filter by photo title for given albums, but I can't negatively filter or exclude based on tags. That's stuff that could be added, but this upload is probably too small to be worth the messing about at this time. --Fæ (talk) 16:21, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Unsplash titles

I notice the Unsplash uploads here are all titled after their authors or locations. On the original site all the images I’ve seen (admittedly not very many), while looking for categorization clues, also have ‘proper’ titles—it’s just that they don’t appear in the visible page text, rather on the browser’s title bar and in the Info pop-up. They appear in several places in the page source (first instance in a <title> tag IIANM). Any chance your bot could extract these and add them to the Description fields? Some of them are fairly whimsical but many are descriptive and could help with categorization. There also seem to be captions preceded by alt=. I know you have plenty on your plate, but I‘m hoping it might be easy enough to set in motion.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 08:13, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Fæ, you are using your account for automatic edits like this one which trims notices about deletion requests.

Hi! I didn't find this picture (Yes, I read your's instructions). I don't want upload duplicate. I need your's help.--Dim Grits (talk) 19:10, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Some images might be missed. The upload runs once a day from my desktop and can back-date for a week. If my machine is out of action for a week, then we start missing images.

There is an issue with duplicates if I remove the limitation and go back further in time. If you want the image now, I suggest you go ahead and upload it. I'll probably take a look in a couple of weeks and see if it can run more reliably (including missed images).

Royal Museums Greenwich

Hey Fae, how are you ensuring that all your uploads from this museum are freely licensed? I took a quick look, and some are ... questionable. Do you have an agreement with the museum? Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 23:31, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, there's no special agreement, though I have had meetings with curators within the RMG group in the past. It's not a straightforward situation, so I have now created User:Fæ/Project list/RMG which you may find explains some of the issues. If you have some example cases that you have noticed as dubious, or are concerned about RMG's claims on their website, I'll be happy to examine a link and consider if changes, or even deletions, might be necessary. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 03:54, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Oh good, you do have contacts! Do they hold the copyright on their images? The paintings/drawings by Oscar Parkes are pretty great, and it'd be nice to get their permission to upload all of them. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 01:09, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

I think this is a non-starter. Artist's estates regularly donate works to museums for a number of reasons, however they vanishingly rarely transfer all future property rights to the museum in the process. I'll ponder it, but I have a lot of creative stuff (i.e. it takes more than 10 minutes of patchy volunteer time) on my backlog to get back to. --Fæ (talk) 14:35, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

UTRS for Commons

I saw that you're one of the most active administrators on Wikimedia Commons and saw you discuss more unblock requests than any other admin, and after seeing you defend talk page access I couldn't help but think about Amitie 10g who lost talk page access simply because their request was rejected, to that end I wanted to suggest an UTRS for Wikimedia Commons but don't know if the reason this hasn't been implemented was technical or "cultural". I know that if I would propose it that it might be viewed as "trolling" so how realistic would you think that a UTRS proposal would be for Wikimedia Commons? Should I pitch this at the proposals Village Pump or at the Administrators' noticeboard? --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:33, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm not an admin.

This has been discussed before. Effectively IRC takes the role of this type of back channel. UTRS is unlikely to get much support, so if clarification is needed for blocked accounts, it may be more practical to have more explicit suggestions to use IRC in the guidelines. --Fæ (talk) 19:49, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Wow, I'm still surprised that you're not an admin and if you ever wish to become one I would be sure to vote

, well, I could try to draft a way for users who lose talk page access to know more about the IRC but after my own negative experiences there I think that a UTRS would be "more humane" but I will probably use the village pump sometime in the future to get more feedback. --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:07, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Have you ever been nominated for adminship? Would you mind if someone else nominated you? (well, not me as I don't exactly have a good reputation on Wikimedia projects)? --Donald Trung (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:09, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

project improvement

"and instead put that same energy into making proposals or assembling case studies, which have a chance improve the project."

that is very good. i did try m:Grants:IdeaLab/images of living people and m:Grants:IdeaLab/train reviewers to become ambassadors, but there is not much interest. you could try a grant to transform Commons:Help desk to be more like Teahouse (a proven model). but the lack of civility rests with the admin corps. until the culture changes to be image curators and facilitators, rather than image deleters, and commanders, there will not be much project improvement around here. and i cannot improve the reputation of commons among cultural professionals. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 02:35, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm off grants for the moment, due to a cancelled project.

Case studies with neutral summaries and high quality evidence, or high quality user essays, like the copyright of toys one, can make a difference. It's a long term gambit, but has the benefits of hindsight.

Commons remains a problem culture among many problem Internet communities. Until there is a recognition of a well defined issue by those with tools, trying to force change is not only a fool's errand, but is most likely to bruise the one who inserted the lever.

Many find firefighting rewarding, nobody gets a medal for a smoking ban. --Fæ (talk) 09:54, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

@Slowking4: The problems stem from a desire to be just the Free-To-Reuse Repository rather than The Only Wikimedia Image Repository. IMHO, the majority of files deleted here are due to copyright concerns. What else can we do but delete an image and recommend it be transferred to local upload? If Commons ever overcomes the reluctance to host non-free media, we could eliminate half the online tension we have by allowing tagged images to be reduced in size and re-oriented to non-free use. It would be so much simpler than messing around with inter-wiki transfers.

On a related note, that whole talkpage template dispute could be mostly solved by trimming away unnecessary transclusions but nobody replied to my question. I might just suggest it on the relevant template talk pages. Anyway, remind me where I can find the button to DELETE SLOWKING4? :P Green Giant (talk) 14:55, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for taking action. There must be a bug with the way LOC uploads are seeing previous deletions, as these should be skipped on the right API error. I think it's a rare case of handling multiple errors, and reacting to the first. I'll halt the poster upload until I can investigate. I can either trap the error correctly, or if that remains unreliable, filter on the WW1 collection name. --Fæ (talk) 18:40, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

After investigating, I'll add a filter using partof to wwi posters AND then do a check on location. If location is given in a set of reliable countries where 100% of photos are going to be public domain, then upload should be fine and extra countries can be added as we go along. Exclusion examples: belgium, russia, inclusion: 'australia', 'canada', 'britain', 'united states', 'new york'

Linguistic question

Commons:Village pump/Proposals#Change to text of Commons:File renaming policy

I am asking this question only for linguistic purposes, not because of what is being discussed. Please don't take it that way, this is really just about the interpretation of language. You say "It reads as if any file needing to be renamed would be deleted." and I honestly am unable to see how this can be read in the given text. I am not accusing you of anything, Steinsplitter appears to see the same thing you see. You are probably not wrong, you just read it in a way different (possibly better) from mine. Can you please try to explain in detail how you read/interpret the text that leads to your conclusion? - Alexis Jazz 22:00, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

The proposal is for a change to FR, which may be called part of policy.
The sentence with "Files that do not appear to comply with Commons policy should not be renamed and instead be nominated for deletion" appears to imply that the "Commons policy" is a reference to the document it is part of.

A request for a Library of Congress batch upload

Hello. I'd like to request a batch upload of 19th-century Japanese and Chinese portraits collected here. Also, do you know of a user friendly way that I could easily transfer the LOC fields with single uploads? It's certainly helpful to have all the fields on Commons, but I find myself having to tediously copy and paste the templates and data by hand, e.g. here, or simply omitting them for quicker, less time consuming uploads, e.g. here. Any tips for automation or convenience would be appreciated. Thanks, -Animalparty (talk) 21:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

@Animalparty: Thanks for this request. I have slightly amended the batch upload script for doing this to cater for LOTs, which took less programming time than I expected. It seems a good way of finding archive quality images which are not in obvious collections. These will appear at Category:Japanese and Chinese portraits 1863-1877, Library of Congress LOT 4339.

Added to the LOC project page at User:Fæ/LOC#LOT_4339. Remember to create crops from the TIFFs, or at least overwrite the jpegs with the same resolution first.

I don't know of a general LOC metadata extraction tool, however as all items in this LOT have LCCNs, you can create urls like https://lccn.loc.gov/2011649857/marcxml to examine the metadata in XML format. This format is easy to pull into, say, a Google spreadsheet or use in many other tools to manipulate the data.

Done --Fæ (talk) 12:05, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Autohiding

I don't understand why you do this. You appear to be creating another cached version of your talk page which is larger than the one it replaces. Wouldn't it be less stressful on resources to fix your autoarchiving? Rodhullandemu (talk) 02:06, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

The auto-archiving of this page is fine. In terms of operations, it is far more wasteful of processing resources, and the associated energy required to render the web page, to have unnecessary transclusions than having a few extra characters for long term storage. The boilerplate hiding action you link to was 129 bytes.

Let's try a bit of logic. At the rate of 129 bytes per hide action, and presuming an average of two hide actions in a day (probably an overestimate), this would mean that over ten years this adds about 1 megabyte to be stored.

So, I'll donate 2p to the WMF at some point to cover that... --Fæ (talk) 11:13, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Time span

Hi Fae, i saw thousands of artworks uploaded with a time span as date (format: xxxx–yy), such as File:Fragment, 1820–30 (CH 18173623).jpg. To internationalize and standardize I would like to use the {{Other date}} template for it. However, it is somehow unclear if i should use between or from-until. What would you recommend? Btw, can't the GWToolset improved in a way that such time spans are supported? --Arnd (talk) 16:47, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

I would use {{between}}. However there is no consensus on which templates to apply to dates, or when they are better than leaving the date as plain text.

At some point, perhaps when people want to use Wikidata to analyse date ranges, someone may get a proposal together. --Fæ (talk) 11:43, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

About uploading

Hello Fæ, could you please tell me by using which tool you upload File:Switzerland and Konstanz (28032025904).jpg? Please link a URL for the tool as I also want to upload some files from Flickr.--√Jæ√ 13:42, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

I do not use a tool. See User:Fæ/Flickr API detail for an explanation and some example code, but it's unlikely you'll find this a solution for what you want to do. --Fæ (talk) 14:41, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Okay, but if your script is available for publicly use please tell me the link or tell me the steps by which I can create my own script.--√Jæ√ 15:40, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

What about this tool: Commons:Flickr2Commons. --Arnd (talk) 16:01, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

Question

Hi. I'm forwarding this question to you because I appreciate your experience: What do you think, is this "a high-quality photo (of at least semi-professional quality and high resolution)"? (Quote from DR discussion.) Cheers. --E4024 (talk) 08:04, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

The photograph is high resolution and with a sharp focus, sharp enough to show individual pores in her skin. It cannot be considered an amateur shot and there are no issues of privacy considering the deliberate pose for the camera. There is sufficient educational value to be inscope, such as being an example of how "lumberjack" fashion style may be used by women, glamour photography with women subjects, how emphasis on cheekbones using blusher is a popular make-up technique, and as an example of a woman with red hair, pink lipstick and a cleft chin may be considered fashionable.

For these reasons the DR nomination was unnecessary. --Fæ (talk) 13:05, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

About account

Hello Fæ, how your account is contributing 24 hrs. Is your account is automatic or it is a bot? Or this is due to your Python script?--√Jæ√ 13:08, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Long term maintenance tasks, such as the GLAM dashboard, are passed to Faebot if they are very stable. Normal editing, batch uploads, corrections or short term tasks I run from my main account. The point of the bot flag is to hide maintenance stuff from being constantly flagged in recent changes and annoying other contributors. In particular it is better for me to run my batch uploads under my main account so I can see problems as they arise and handle them before I start getting complaints. For example I have this morning been correcting my LOC cross-linking script after seeing problems with handling html encoding, and been testing it out on my main account, though I have done some of the changes using Faebot I may choose to do the rest on my main account because it needs more watching than I expected.

The scope of Faebot is on his user page, though the description is not down to each job level as my projects have been so stable for the last couple of years. Some of Faebot's tasks have been running without any problems for five years now. --Fæ (talk) 13:28, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Fae, you may have already seen the IP edits to File:Drawings (airplanes), by "Richard", 1941 Wellcome L0017926.jpg and File:Drawing of airplane, by "Richard", 1941 Wellcome L0017924.jpg. What is strange is that in both cases the original source-link goes into nirwana. --Túrelio (talk) 11:49, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

The original source was fine, normal link rot and Wellcome website redesign. The EXIF data looks good as evidence, along with the old blog post by the Wellcome. They could be converted to a DR, but it's an old discussion that should always result in a keep unless there is strong evidence that the original release by the Wellcome was incorrect. --Fæ (talk) 12:08, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I have avoided the BL Flickrstream in the past. Without investigating these albums, it was the case that previous collections were debatable and other parties had an interest. In general though Flickr may be a starting point, it may be better to pull the images from the BL source or an IA alternate. A long time ago, I was part of discussing funding and terms for the first BL WiR, this may also be a good reason for me to focus on other upload sources where I have never had a direct involvement.

Gloeden

Hallo Fae, as per the THREE duplicates of Gloeden's number 2726 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gloeden,_Wilhelm_von_(1856-1931)_-_n._2726_-_Knabe_auf_einer_Terrasse_(Zeno_Fotografie).jpg you can notice near the nostril a small imperfection, repeated in all of three scans. So, this is the same image, repeated thrice, not three different scans of three different originals. It is a general policy here on Commons that there should be only one scan per original. Whenever I think that two different scans from two different prints offer different details, I keep both. --User:G.dallorto (talk) 11:30, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
Incidentally, I would appreciate that in the future you avoided dumping scores of duplicate, low quality, unnumbered images such as these of the Zeno.org dumpbin. You can find the catalogue here, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Catalogue_of_Wilhelm_von_Gloeden%27s_pictures where you can check before uploading. I am checking the dump one by one, and 95% of them are duplicate, lower quality (they are clearly re-shoots from positives, not prints from negatives, and they are all slightly blurry), sometimes even censored copies. That is costing me a lot of work for nothing. I'd appreciate your cooperation in the future. We should cooperate, not fight. --User:G.dallorto (talk) 11:33, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Okay, I'll ignore similar as non-controversial relying on your judgement

. Normally I push for DRs so that there is an open record of the analysis laid down, which is otherwise unrecorded in the speedy process as it vanishes with the deleted page. The DR route may help if some future person with sysop rights is examining deleted versions and their rationales.

BTW, zeno was 5,000 photographs but highly varied. There were duplicates to some other archives, and seem to remain very much a minority as far as I am aware, but if these become a massive headache (i.e. a magnitude larger like the 10,000+ identical duplicates in the DoD collection created by EXIF variations) then I would consider an imagehash + EXIF stripped comparison type bot task to sort it out, or perhaps a simpler process like the LOC automated gallery process which makes it easier to compare non-digital-identical duplicates.

Thanks for your work on von Gloeden. Sadly the Wiki-Americanocentric culture makes openly improving this type of content worrying for many volunteers to touch.

P.S. with regard to censored images or any evidence of damnatio memoriae, take care to retain examples. These can be fascinating in their own right. --Fæ (talk) 11:44, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

broken information templates

Hello Fæ, why this edit? Now the information template is broken again. I was fixing it before but you made e reverting edit. Also affected:

--Migebert (talk) 21:32, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for raising this bug. It was caused because I presumed that none of the LOC image pages would have two galleries in the other_versions parameter. The housekeeping task is paused at the moment, and I'll ensure this is added as an exception. It probably is so rare that it would be easier to skip housekeeping for any image page with more than one gallery tag in it.

Let me know if you can estimate how many files need a rollback, if it's under 100 then probably not worth a batch fix. --Fæ (talk) 22:54, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Images above were all i have found with this error on templates. Thanks for fixing. --Migebert (talk) 08:04, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

This must be a very rare exception in the 400,000 I'm looking at. I have added a test to skip any double-gallery image pages. Let me know if you see it happening again. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 08:17, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

A similar error was occuring when a cross-wiki transfer had other_versions in its wikicode notes. This has been fixed, example. --Fæ (talk) 13:11, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

It is because User:Artix Kreiger 2 uploaded a bunch of pages with 2 million+ bytes of text (example), which overloaded the servers.

Unsplash

This "harmonization" shows that the photographer had no idea what he photographed. Under his filename no one will find the image. Well... Neither do I need it, it is an artistic picture, not a documentary one. :) --Turbojet (talk) 14:47, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

The large majority of renames are significantly better than location address or user account name. If the name is really poor, then another rename is fine, the housekeeping is a one-off project and will ignore any image where "Unsplash title" exists in the image page text. --Fæ (talk) 14:51, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I thought the name of the building was a better title than "white skies". I do not contest, I just want to know how to proceed in the future with the many pictures about Timișoara. In 2021 Timișoara will be the one of en:European Capital of Culture, and we expect to see many such photographs taken by tourists without knowing what they have photographed. --Turbojet (talk) 15:58, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

The photographer's title has value, but if it is misleading or not informative then renaming is a valid improvement. The Unsplash collection is a special case as the original naming provided on upload of most of these was automatically generated. It was only after reinvestigating this year that I discovered an optional title and description field that could be extracted. --Fæ (talk) 16:02, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Ash Friday

Did you know Ash registered on 4 January and started 57 DRs in 4 days? And the way he argues on ANU is odd. I don't know if this is a case of sockpuppets, meatpuppets or really just coincidentally likeminded people. - Alexis Jazz 23:06, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

It may be coincidence. I spent about 10 seconds examining the account history, but did not want to spend any real time looking at the background without more significant cause. --Fæ (talk) 23:08, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Understandable, but I bet you have spent more than 10 seconds. - Alexis Jazz 23:18, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

We have an account that wants to remove sex, we have an account that wants to remove rock and roll. Metal actually, but that's even less holy. All we have to do is find the account that wants to remove drugs.

And then there is the account that wanted to remove pictures from User:Akbys and User:E4024. Akbys is a User:Jhony jhony ha ji sock who seems to have some relation with India, E4024 is from Turkey. Perhaps this is related to religion as well? I don't really know, it could be a coincidence that those countries are both not Christian. But maybe you see more possible connections. - Alexis Jazz 00:03, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

There has to be good cause to do analysis, plus though I have sufficient skill to do interesting things, hunting socks is only of passing interest for me. Doing it on suspicion, rather than specific evidence, is not the best way to invest volunteer time, unless the damage is prolific or there is strong evidence of gaming the system. In the case of DRs, many people tend to start reacting once the DRs are over a couple of hundred and may be attempting censorship. Looking back over a longer period, like six months, is not that difficult and most damage can be undone.

There may be bias, but this is relatively trivial disruption. Keep in mind that the worst stuff, like harassing sock puppeteers, is probably better discussed off wiki, such as on IRC in private messages. I have no special insight, but if I did, it would be wise for me to not allude to critical evidence on my user talk page. --Fæ (talk) 00:14, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

Good points, this section is no longer needed. - Alexis Jazz 01:15, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

I added a signed note alongside the additional image I found and placed a comment concerning the major revamp at dvids. I have no idea when they will be finished. I hope that's what you mean. Ww2censor (talk) 22:08, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

It was more a general comment about talk pages, but it's not relevant to the DR as is. I find that a Google image search is pretty revealing and searching for the subject name in this case did throw up at least two photos not mentioned so far. None of the others seemed to be at DVIDS, which does make me suspect they never transferred from the old image website. The courtesy name removal should be fine as a fix. --Fæ (talk) 22:11, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Smithsonian images

I've tagged File:Left to right Eugene H. Payne and Mildred Catherine Rebstock (1919-2011).jpg for speedy deletion.

I do see that the Flikr record has a link to the No known copyright restrictions page. However the record at the Smithsonian itself says "All requests for duplication and use must be submitted in writing and approved by the Smithsonian Institution Archives. Contact SIA Reference Staff for further information (email OSIAREF@si.edu)."

I am not sure how admins on the commons generally handle this.

File:Mildred_Catherine_Rebstock_(1919-2011).jpg has the same issue. I haven't nominated that one yet in case i am incorrect about the one above.

What do you think about the differences in license language between Flikr and the Smithsonian itself? Jytdog (talk) 16:29, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

The license is entirely up to the Smithsonian. On Flickrcommons this is very clear as https://www.flickr.com/commons/institutions/ links directly to https://www.si.edu/termsofuse. If their content is not no copyright known, then it is the failure of the Smithsonian, nobody else. --Fæ (talk) 20:07, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

I understand your position. I don't see how you interpret PRP to mean "given two statements from the same organization that contradict each other, take the most lax one". I believe that PRP means exactly the opposite of that. Jytdog (talk) 21:07, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Renaming files

Hi Fæ, why do you change file names from correct descriptive titles like File:Piburger See, Austria (Unsplash).jpg to completely meaningless titles like File:Day 17 unsplashdaily (Unsplash).jpg? Please undo all these changes, since I am not allowed to do so. Thanks, --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 21:24, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

30,000 images, many with names not descriptive of content. Harmony with the photographer's chosen titles, where they exist, makes good sense. If anyone wants to rename to something even better, that is fine, but just using location is debatable. --Fæ (talk) 10:02, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

You seriously think that titles like "Day 17 unsplashdaily", "Is being small, being free?", "It's all in that pow" or "Lake by mossy mountain" make good sense? Do you check at all what you are doing or do you just rename those files as a matter of principle? Why shold we care about the photographer's chosen titles? --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 23:42, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I don't have links to the other files, but I'm guessing many had almost useless names in the form of just the location. Fæ probably used some automated process to import them. Fæ uploaded some 2000+ files on 14 April alone, you didn't think Fæ was closely monitoring every single one of them, did you? - Alexis Jazz 00:07, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

FWIW I thoroughly approve of restoring the authors‘ original titles, especially on ‘artistic‘ photos. Of the Unsplash uploads I‘ve seen, most depict specific subjects having nothing visibly to do with their location anyway. Matter-of-fact descriptions can always be added to the Summary section or implied by categorization.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 06:16, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: no, we are not talking about the upload, the files were uploaded with more ore less meaningful names (the location), that were *later* changed to completely meaningless names. E.g. the file File:Lake by mossy mountain (Unsplash).jpg was uploaded as File:Blaue Lacke, Neustift im Stubaital, Austria (Unsplash).jpg. As the picture shows - surprise! - the Blaue Lacke near Neustift im Stubaital, why do you consider this a "useless name"? To me this seems much more appropriate. What else, if not the location, would you choose as filename? @Odysseus1479: If a picture is only "artistic" and of no educational value, it is out of scope on Commons anyway and can be deleted according to the rules. --Luftschiffhafen (talk) 06:49, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Wellcome images by W.L. Kihn

Hi, I created Category:W. Langdon Kihn, put the Wellcome images in it. Then remember this deletion request for 2 files by the same artist. The painter died in 1957, I presumed that the Wellcome foundation does not own the copyright, and the two files were deleted. Should, in fact, all of those be deleted? I can create a deletion request... just let me know. -- Deadstar (msg) 12:32, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Yes, they probably should have a DR. The Wellcome is reticent to say anything about their confidential donation records, so the community has to use our own judgement. PS {{PD-US-no notice}} may apply. --Fæ (talk) 12:35, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Blocks and protections

Hello.
I don’t expect any improvement in enforcement of Commons policies while heavily involved sysops may easily derail respective discussions. Any advice? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:53, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

It is a problem. It was not a critical case, but the precedent is important. Not everyone who is trusted with sysop tools understands why this particular differentiation to policies on other projects has worked to the benefit of Commons' collection. For obvious reasons it is probably better for me to let this topic drop unless I am established with sysop tools myself at some point and will be able to analyse the issue properly. --Fæ (talk) 08:48, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Bain

If you have time, when you upload, don't forget to add a category for the person to the Wikimedia images and link them to Wikidata. I just added categories to about 6 images. See: Ernst_Scholz at Wikidata and Category:Ernst_Scholz to see how they are linked. It will ensure that the image is found in the future. RAN (talk) 18:15, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I know how it works. Nobody has come up with a solution for automating matching LoC bio data with Wikidata in a reliable way. As there would be something like 10,000 records to handle, it remains a non-starter. BTW, the Bain collection has been fully uploaded, so there is none that we are waiting on. --Fæ (talk) 18:17, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

I have been doing one at a time. Are you going in through Flickr Commons which has more identifying information and a more reliable date? The current tranche of images is from 1922, with occasional misfiled ones. Either way, you have done great work. I will work on categorizing them with the biographical information from Flickr Commons. RAN (talk) 18:23, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

That's an interesting example. I have not read of the LoC using information fed back from Flickr. There's lots of things I could potentially do with Flickr, but it would have to be worth the time doing the programming. --Fæ (talk) 18:35, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Overwrite

Please do not overwrite original files like File:Hiddingsel, Ortsansicht -- 2014 -- 9237 -- Ausschnitt.jpg. Upscaling is not an improvement. If necessary I'll improve the image from the RAW data. Thank you. --XRay ^talk 18:41, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@XRay: Sure. Out of interest, do you know why the crop lost resolution? I understand why a crop might be small if the parent was upgraded, but in a case like this one, it's unclear why the crop is smaller than it needs to be. --Fæ (talk) 18:52, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

The crop is made from the RAW data, not from the JPEG data. If I take a crop from an image, there may be other improvements too, especially if the crop is made later. Improvements may be perspective correction and this may be a minor lost of resolution. I'm using Adobe Lightroom and I've made the crop as virtual copy from the original file. --XRay ^talk 19:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. The routine I have for looking at larger re-crops handles perspective correction, so long as it's a normal homographic transform (quadrilateral linearly transforming to a rectangle). It would be possible to look at other elements, such as light level adjustments from the original, however there are just as many cases where the default auto-crop is actually better than whatever the original crop uploader has done.

Anyway, the current process is reliant on a manual review, so I just have to be more cautious about approving overwrites where the size improvement was not that much and the crop appears to have digital enhancement.

The project page says a fair amount, but as well as a side by side comparison, I see the following data:

61882    289 × 405    Hidilyn Diaz poses with President Rodrigo Duterte (cropped).jpg 
       2,048 × 1,365  Hidilyn Diaz poses with President Rodrigo Duterte.jpg
     Half size precheck 
     Processing took 0.4 seconds
     Processing took 16.7 seconds
     64% larger in resolution
        289 × 405 (0.714) → 475 × 666 (0.713) 
     https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AHidilyn_Diaz_poses_with_President_Rodrigo_Duterte_%28cropped%29.jpg 
     Overwrite? (rtn / n) >>

So, visual check, resolution increase and relative proportions normally sufficient to make a good decision in more than 99% of cases. --Fæ (talk) 19:22, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

I think overwriting without asking the author is never a good choice. Anyway. I'll check the image within the next days. The difference of the resolution to your crop is too large. May be I should check the resolution of the crop from the RAW data. So there may be a happy end for the crop and your overwriting. --XRay ^talk 19:36, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Keep in mind that it's actually rare for an extracted image to be created by the photographer. In fact the vast majority of images where upscaling has been identified (themselves less than 1% of the category for derived images) are transfers from Wikipedia, mostly several years old. I'm still unsure why that is, or why the majority can at least be doubled in resolution. I'll think about whether to add uploader names to the data that gets presented, perhaps just showing where they match. --Fæ (talk) 19:41, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Maybe people with inadequate graphics knowledge or software, making crops from screenshots or thumbnails instead of the actual image files?—Odysseus1479 (talk) 07:58, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Possible, just seems an odd thing to do to me. Here's a example upscaled moments ago, where Castagna appears to have taken the Flickr original and cropped out a watermark before using the uploadwizard, but in the process made the image a fraction of what is possible from the Commons hosted parent. It could be that in these specific cases, folks go to Flickr and download the default size, rather than seeking out the "original" or just sticking to the Commons parent. --Fæ (talk) 08:12, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

I've uploaded my photograph with the full resolution (of the crop) and it looks like a mistake before. The former photograph shouldn't had the lower resolution. So: Thanks for the issue you've initiated. --XRay ^talk 15:19, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Because this is not a DR, it's a polite request and I see no sign of this being some sort of trolling or vandalism.

It's because the IA uploader put the earliest date of the collected publications as the date for the "volume". These can be fixed by searching using the IA url link.

User:Fæ/Imagehash and LOC images

Fæ, any chance of running the bot against the LOC images recently uploaded? (Bain, Harris/Ewing, etc.) Just at first glance it looks as if we may have quite a few versions/copies of some of the images that could do with being linked together via "other version" and probably some that can be deleted as well. All the best - Kelly (talk) 22:21, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

It's a non-trivial thing to set up and adds hash info hidden in the page source text. Best done once all the current uploads are complete. I'll look at doing it, but in a month or two.

The current uploads should spot earlier upload matches with the same IDs or SHAs, and add them to the gallery. For example File:Keene Fitzpatrick - Princeton LCCN2014694395.tif was uploaded a few minutes ago, and includes a thumbnail link back to the jpeg version uploaded in 2012. --Fæ (talk) 22:31, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

No rush, obviously. I've been doing some categorization on the newly uploaded photos, and it looks like a lot of matches are being spotted during the upload process. A few are not - for instance, File:Anita Stewart, Lallie Charles - Lallie Charles LCCN2014681265.jpg and File:Anitastewart 4.jpg. There are also some circumstances where the same photo has found its way here via a different source, such as the photos in Category:Hirata Tōsuke. Many thanks. Kelly (talk) 22:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

I'll examine these as part of looking at the set up. However as the 'sample space' for hashes ought to return no more than one or two 100,000 files to test. At that size the hash generation will take several days. Due to the reality of processing time, which increases as the square of volume of the sample space when trying to pair up files using the hashes, I doubt that whole categories where LOC file might appear can be included.

Even a generalized url search (like loc.gov) would yield too many files (>600,000), so the 'space' will probably have to be limited to finding something like "loc.gov" plus collection ID like "ggbain" (which at the moment returns 36,000 files). If the keywords are absent from a duplicate, and the duplicate is not identical by SHA1 value, my script will not pair it up as a duplicate.

Let's park for the moment. I may have better solutions to try when I get to it, and it might be worth writing up as another experiment. --Fæ (talk) 09:39, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. Kelly (talk) 00:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Analysis

Hash matching

Both jpg and tiff, LOC
Scan from book, A Pictorial of Peerage

Apart from drilling into categories, in this case added two weeks after LOC upload, there are no identification codes that could automatically connect the alternates. Even the given names do not match sufficiently for automation. As the scan has defects and the LOC image has writing on the negative border, images hashes may not be identical. This case may not be picked up through an image hash project that was limited to finding equal thumbnail hash values.

LOC code matching

Both jpg and tiff, LOC, indexed by LCCN 2014681265
2009 upload by editor with ~2000 edits, still active, indexed only by ggbain.01270

Examining the history of the above example duplicate, the 2009 jpeg is the identical resolution to the full size TIFF uploaded this year. The LOC does not make available a jpeg version of the full size TIFF, but instead supplies two lower resolution versions jpegs. However the 2009 upload clearly shows in the EXIF data that the jpeg was "officially" created by the LOC, so presumably was originally made available by LOC.

LOC uses the LCCN inconsistently for apparent historical reasons. This means that not all batch uploads use LCCNs and instead default back to the collection digital ID like ggbain.01270.

Based on LOC's summary, the LCCN is (almost always) formed of <year, 4 digits> + <serial number, 6 digits with leading zeros>. The LCCN uses the year the central record was made.

At the time of writing this, projects in User:Fæ/LOC use the LCCN to search for existing files unless the MARC record is being used (i.e. no LCCN available), only then does a "pnp" value get used to search for existing matches on Commons. This is created from the MARC record. The pnp is deduced by searching the MARC record for a url matching "loc.pnp.*\d{4}.*", this is probably always in field 856 (access method 4 - http). Searching this way avoids matching to urls for the collection rather than the item. A technical explanation of MARC 856 is here.

However, the pnp value is always created as this is used for both types of upload to display and link in the {{LOC-image}} credit template. The credit template is used this way for historical reasons, not because the LCCN is less good where it exists.

Housekeeping task

Rather than retrospectively changing the batch upload process to do a cross-image search with pnp, it is more convenient to stick to creating a specific housekeeping task to add to or create image page galleries to cross-link both old jpg files and newer uploads. This would not compare the images directly, only find matches by identification codes. The George Grantham Bain Collection is 55% uploaded, but as we have one example missing match, and the collection contains over 20,000 items/jpegs, it makes for a good test category.

The proposed housekeeping task does the following:

Pull a list of all jpegs in a LOC collection category
For each image, extract the pnp value from the image page
Do a general Commons search for pnp value matches, like insource:/ggbain.01270/ insource:LOC
Check whether the image pages cross-link to each other, and add in any additions

Some initial passive results. Returning pnp matches to jpegs in PD-Bain where images are not already cross-linked and the 'seed' image may not be my upload. The first image of each set is the source, and there may be more than one match which need not be in PD-Bain:

ggbain.24924 1024x737
ggbain.24924 178x276
ggbain.10477 1024x753

ggbain.27106 1024x647
ggbain.27106 757x453

Sample highlights:

Train at Malmo station.jpg is not in any Bain or general LOC collection categories, neither is it linked to the hosted source image
LCCN 3512131989, Vice President James S. Sherman is linked to in the TIFF version recently uploaded, however there is not yet a link back
Mike Mowrey LOC.jpg and File:(Mike Mowrey batting, Brooklyn NL (baseball)) (LOC) (14357328391).jpg are identical resolution jpegs but it is not clear why the filesizes and SHA-1 values differ. This is an example of where an eventual merge may be beneficial.

Now running. Initial changes:

There will be a few exceptions, such as Flanders-F4-1912.jpg where there is no information template or no 'other_versions' included. To automate this would be a pain. However these will be linked to in the galleries of the associated files, in this example "Flanders" monoplane LCCN2014697249.tif. A marginal case is Hattie the elephant, where there are 5 jpegs along with the TIFF, these variations are due to crops. Should any image be matched more than 7 times this will be interpreted as a search problem and skipped.

A known "bug" is where a gallery exists and the linked file is presented using odd characters. These may be included twice in the gallery as searching for matches is made too complex. Example diff and Example from the Hattie the elephant variations with bad characters. As playing about with possible html encoding variations is ridiculously complex, these are being ignored as fringe cases.

Lastly, this runs slowly. I am not using multithreading for this task and it probably does not need it to be effective. I'll add a note about it on the LOC project page. As the Bain collection is still being uploaded, the housekeeping is officially starting with Popular Graphic Arts, Recent Changes list.

Done --Fæ (talk) 14:29, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Reopened

This was mostly okay. However there are some unique image numbers which match to a collection rather than variations of the same image. An example is ppmsca.13709. As a result some of the generated galleries are naff and link to images which may only be loosely connected to the 'seed' image.

To get around this, I am testing out the matches with an additional pHash and dHash test. The intention will be to re-run and either create better galleries or replace galleries under the previous scheme. May take a day or two to finish testing. @Geagea: FYI.

Testing Done, housekeeping running. --Fæ (talk) 16:11, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Photographs by Albert Percy Godber

Dear Fae

I noted some high-quality photographs by Albert Percy Godber and would like to add some additional ones to an article about the Piha Tramway. Are you coincidentally interested in doing a batch upload of the 2415 photographs in the Alexander Turnbull Library? --NearEMPTiness (talk) 08:36, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

I'll take a look, today or tomorrow. --Fæ (talk) 15:54, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I just noted that this link might be helpful. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 06:07, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Based on a look via a tablet, it may be important to take a route that gets all the high resolution IIP images. The download link gives a significantly poorer jpeg version; which I think is what has been uploaded already in some cases. I may be able to put this together later today so long as the natlib website stays up. I did start getting down-for-maintenance messages earlier.

As there are a couple of stages to this, I'm running it as a project at User:Fæ/Project_list/natlibnz. If you have other comments, I suggest keeping them here as the project page is already fairly technical. --Fæ (talk) 10:49, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much, indeed. I am positively impressed by what you have uploaded. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 07:18, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

@NearEMPTiness: The uploads are being overwhelmed with "internal server errors". It may be that after 300 full size images downloaded, this has triggered an anti-bot process. I will be away from my desktop for a few days, so will let it rest and look again next week. I see #308 was oddly corrupted, I may look at that again once the other problem is solved. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 08:07, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Adding #307 to be checked. --Fæ (talk) 08:22, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I have already added categories to most of the photos and embedded some into the relevant articles. Some of them are really interesting and useful, indeed. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 09:09, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Update on #308. This was caused by downloading giving up half way and moving on to the next image, possibly down to a manual restart. The result was half of one image and half of the next. --Fæ (talk) 13:49, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

No, but User:Fæ/Project list/natlibnz/improvement is updated daily. --Fæ (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Do you know of a tool, with which I can check, which of the uploaded files have a red category?

No, but I think they get added to a maintenance category, which can then be queried using petscan. --Fæ (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Do you have a tool to automatically remove the black frames, particularly the very large ones?

I suggest using the standard croptool and try the magic border locator. It is possible to auto-crop if the type of border is reliably very similar, however it's probably not worth creating such a thing for 2,000 files. --Fæ (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

If cropping/rotating is done manually, should I save the cropped version better in the same file or in a new file?--NearEMPTiness (talk) 12:06, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

If the crop is obvious, I would overwrite the original. --Fæ (talk) 12:29, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Xeno-canto

Example of new Xeno-canto uploads in mp3, the Mallard

Hi Fae, I notice that back in 2013 you uploaded audio recordings of birds from the Xeno-canto website (https://www.xeno-canto.org/) to Commons. (see the cat here and your notes here. I would like to encourage you to upload another batch.

I edit bird articles on English wikipedia and try to add audio recordings. If I search the Xeno-canto site with the query 'lic:BY-SA' I obtain 5783 results from 1310 species. If I restrict the search to recordings of the highest quality using 'q:A' ("loud and clear") I obtain 2208 results from 759 species. At the moment Commons has 678 recording and not all are high quality.

I've recently edited articles on antbirds (family Thamnophilidae - 236 species). If I search Xeno-canto with the query 'lic:BY-SA Thamnophilidae q:A' I obtain 121 results from 44 species. Commons has a single recording (here)(and the quality is only "B"). I notice that a large fraction of the Xeno-canto files with the BY-SA license were recorded by Niels Krabbe.

It's a nice project. Since that time Commons allows mp3s, so the process for uploading can be simplified. I'll look at revisiting the project and decide what the best format might be. It may take a few weeks to get around to it. --Fæ (talk) 11:06, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks for your reply. When you're done I'll begin work including each file in the corresponding article. There are more than 10,000 species of bird so this is a long term project. - Aa77zz (talk) 17:21, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Loc housekeeping

Why are you putting images to File:Sam M. Kaaukai (1893 crop).jpg‎ and other similar images with images that do not match? Each of these are distinct crops of each person in the group photo. Is it a error in a bot or tool and can you fix it? Because I removed them and then you readded them. KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:19, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

I was aware of these additions, they mean that the gallery cross-links crops from the same source, which itself can be useful especially if the crops are not in the same parent category. However I am now limiting the housekeeping task so that this will only happen once. This does mean that "refreshing" will not happen if more crops are made or derivatives uploaded, but it will respect any manual revert. Ping me again if the the housekeeping runs twice on the same image from here on. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 06:36, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Nonsense image

Could you please add a description, categories, and a useful filename to this bizarre image that you uploaded, or otherwise nominate it for deletion? I am asking you before nominating it myself because it is use in userspace (though that does not matter for COM:INUSE), but it needs to have useful information added to it. As uploader, that is your responsibility. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:42, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Attempt to reconcile

Hi Fæ, I appreciate that you wrote "I do not hate Yann." So if you say the truth, you will hopefully see this message as a sincere attempt to reconcile. I don't expect that all our disagreements would disappear in one day, but I am looking for a way to reduce tensions between us. I didn't find your question on 9 July as sincere, and I didn't appreciate your attempt to start a desysop procedure, but I may forget all that. So for me, this issue is passed and closed.

We often work on similar kind of images, i.e. produced by GLAM, so I can see areas of cooperation. I would like to say that this issue is not an attack on your work. On the contrary, I like these images, which I find them very useful for Commons. However there is a licensing issue, which should be fixed. Is it a mere coincidence that you uploaded this file, which I found in a discussion regarding Structured Data for Commons. Hopefully, you will answer positively to my message. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:53, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: I am happy to move on. With regard to the example DR, others seem to have made the point I would have made, so there is no need for me to return to it. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 09:43, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Need advice

Hi fae, See this Link to Smithsonian. Please advise your thoughts on whether or not we can download this? Regards Broichmore (talk) 20:57, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

@Broichmore: Yes. Longer answer, there is no significant doubt that this is PD per COM:PRP.

I have only spend a few minutes looking at it, and were this a DR, or part of a larger upload project, I would do more research. However, there are two perspectives that would probably be usful to justify a public domain status.

This is 1933 and published in the USA. No individual photographer is known, all the record shows is a studio name. Without looking beyond the photograph itself and the Smithsonian's catalog entry, we can safely apply {{PD-US-No notice}} or {{PD-US-not renewed}}.
The Smithsonian specifically claims to hold all rights to the photograph. As the Smith. is a type of Federal Institution, created by an act of US Congress and with the majority of employees being directly declared as Federal employees, this means under USGov law the photograph automatically becomes PD. Hence we can apply {{SIA-no known copyright restrictions}} or perhaps more directly {{PD-USGov}}. However this is a weaker case than above, made uncertain because of the Smith's nonsense about claiming to restrict commercial reuse, which I believe has no basis in US law unless the act that incorporated them somehow, weirdly and exceptionally, gives them a legal way out of the Federal laws that are supposed to govern all Federal organizations. However this latter point I would not want to willingly dive down the rabbit hole, when there are other legally valid rationales to host the image as PD.

Thanks --Fæ (talk) 10:03, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks. Broichmore (talk) 10:08, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Fae, could you expand on the theory behind point 2? Regardless of this specific image, I believe it is factually incorrect: Federal institutions can and do own intellectual property that is not PD - so long as they or their employees did not create it. Storkk (talk) 10:16, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

This may be correct (examples would be better to examine than understandings). However the Smith. is stating that institutionally they are the copyright holder and they assert copyright, so this is quite different to asserting that copyright exists and naming a non-employee rights holder (the Scurlock estate). In this instance, there seem obvious contradictions against the legal requirements on Federal organizations, though I would be very happy to understand the legal precedent for this to be an exception.

However this is circling the rabbit hole. If this is worth a longer discussion, and precedent (on Commons) does not define this scenario especially well, a healthy way forward is the let the exemplar file(s) be uploaded, then raise a DR to establish a referencable public record. Keep in mind that we are in holiday season and in the UK we are having several weeks of unusually good weather, so folks like myself might not be around very much to participate. --Fæ (talk) 12:04, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Category:Constantine the Great: The Reorganisation of the Empire and the Triumph of the Church (1905)

Hi Fae. In this category I have difficulty to categorizing the files because when I open the Book Viewer, the pages do not match the image. Can you correct these errors? Thank you. --DenghiùComm (talk) 08:20, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

I just randomly examined 2 cases, and the links worked perfectly well. I suspect any failures are one page off. Sometimes this is caused by image inserts that unfold, the unfolded version is added as an extra page and the link is often the folded page.

There is no automated fix that would work for these. The links are not especially wrong, as the correct document is linked, it's just the convenience of jumping to the right page. --Fæ (talk) 08:54, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Everything is very strange. All the pages of photographs that I opened gave me pages of text or tables of coins. And the image of the file was not to be found in the pages before or after. Then all that remains is to flip through all the 450 pages of this book, but this is a waste of time for me. I can not do that. I do not know what the solution can be now. --DenghiùComm (talk) 21:39, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Size

Alexandra 1875, uploaded at "large" image size

Hi Fæ, I found a number of interesting scans in Category:Ship plans of the Royal Museums Greenwich you have uploaded. The filesizes and therefore quality of the scans differ dramatically from some 50 MB down to less than 200 KB. Is that a result of your uploading process, which I assume to be fully automated, or is that something the individual is responsible for, who first put those scans online? In other words: can anything be done to get higher quality versions of the low quality files for Wikipedia? Alexpl (talk) 09:34, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Normally the largest possible resolution is uploaded from archives. There may be reasons to have both older scans as well as newer ones from the same archive. If you have specific collections in mind it may be worth writing to the museum curators to ask whether higher resolution scans could be published for a Wikipedia project. If the issues are technical, it would be worth providing me the specific example to take a second look at.

In the case of the Library of Congress, we have been uploading from that source for so long, that we sometimes have digital scans that the library has upgraded in the years since first upload.

By the way, the RMG was a 2017 project, you can read the project page at User:Fæ/Project list/RMG. --Fæ (talk) 10:30, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

I find it hard to keep track with new projects and usually get surprised by finding stuff like this. :) I drop in for doing some categorizing-work from time to time, thats about it. The images of HMS Alexandra [1][2][3] seemed nice at first for use in an article, but I cant even read the text on those tiny scans. Alexpl (talk) 10:54, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Refreshing my memory, I took a deeper look at the second example. The true source image is http://collections.rmg.co.uk/mediaLib/3295/media-3295854/large.jpg and the version uploaded is the largest the RMG has made available to the public. It's a bit sad, as the original artefact is six foot wide, so the RMG's archives must have a very large version of this photograph.

I have put out a tweet https://twitter.com/Faewik/status/992722889198723072 to ask for free stuff, though I doubt they will bend their policy of asking for money for better quality images. --Fæ (talk) 11:10, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Library of Congress maps

Somebody just posted this zoomable detailed birds-eye view of Liverpool onto my twitter feed, which I thought was rather nice. (Nicer and nicer, the more you zoom in, in fact):

https://www.loc.gov/resource/g5754l.ct007678/

I think quite a lot of LoC maps have been uploaded over the years; and I see you've uploaded a lot of their prints and photographs.

Not that you're probably looking for a project, but would it be good to upload the whole lot of the LoC's online maps (about 27,000 https://www.loc.gov/maps/ ), less those we have already?

They look like they have a certain amount of cataloguing exposed on the website, that might go quite a way towards categorisation. Jheald (talk) 19:55, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll look into it, maybe Tuesday. It is a bit constraining to try on a mobile. --Fæ (talk) 20:08, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Started looking at this. I think it's a separate project from the LOC prints project due to the nature of the new website and iterative items, i.e. not just zoomable maps but atlases as books with images in a gallery. LOC seems to have no collection ID but relies on subject terms, but this needs some analysis on the JSON output to work out the best approach.

No especial hurry, so this is something I'll poke at in slow time, probably creating a project page when I start getting in to it. --Fæ (talk) 10:02, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

I have got as far as the initial query loop and parsing. There are 27,199 items with 17,928 being single images. I'll probably set up the single images for uploads as they can sit in a bucket category. The other items will probably all need auto-categorization, which will need much more effort to make "non-controversial".

Now running, project page will be at User:Fæ/LOC maps. All uploads via the iiif service ~~will be selected as PNG~~. Getting 503 errors at the moment (technical difficulties), this may or may not be transient. --Fæ (talk) 20:48, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jheald: Is there a visual mapping tool that can take the Commons image as a zoomable overly while you pin it to a current map? I know I can do this with OSM, but it's too fiddly to be practical as a way to find the coords of an old map. --Fæ (talk) 07:41, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes there is, the Wikimaps Warper.

See eg File:Portsmouth point OS25 inch to mile1858.PNG for a map where it has been done -- follow the link in the button at the bottom, which is provided by {{Map}}; or File:Map of Africa from Encyclopaedia Britannica 1890.jpg for a map which has been uploaded to the warper, but not yet warped.

It's a bit clunky (or was, the last time I looked at it a couple of years ago), because first one has to install a copy of the map image in the map warper's own private filespace.

Also note that it's a slow old process adding the coordinates to a large number of maps -- of 50,000 maps found in the BL 19th century book images on Flickr, it's taken three years to georeference 60% (progress page), and that's using the BL's georeferencer which is a bit slicker. Plus even with the coordinates it can still be tricky to identify what the map is actually of, especially for things like railways, rivers, battlefields, or pages out of larger map-books (see Category:MC_upload_prep_pages for UK state of play).

But I do think it is something well worth linking up, and encouraging people to do. Jheald (talk) 08:27, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

I recall playing with it a while back, but it looks little different now. Unfortunately clunky, and the OAuth login for Commons fails to work for me today in Chrome, even though my OSM account does. In theory Google Earth has a neat interface for zooming/rotating overlays (and I assume that is still available), but my old macmini is a bit slow for it. --Fæ (talk) 09:23, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Flickr images

I've started a conversation with an Australian Flickr user who says he has no interest in restricting use of his images which all currently seem to be ARR and CC-nc. He has uploaded over 40,000 images so is this something you can do, and if so how do we review them so they can be categorised properly? I presume we would need to start at least one, if not more, special categories at upload time and also ask Australian editors to assist in reviewing. There don't seem to be any coordinates though many images have town names which may help. He also says he has tif versions of almost everything, though getting those from him would be a big ask and probably not worthwhile. Please advise when you have time. Ww2censor (talk) 10:13, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: This would only be possible if the photographer agrees to the Commons upload as being CC-BY-SA or even less restricted like CC-BY, this could be a special agreement via email and logged on OTRS even if nothing changes on Flickr. If the ARR or NC restrictions stay in place, then they cannot be uploaded to Commons.

Checking a couple of examples, some titles are problematic, which could be automatically changed, though the titles are not all specific or useful. It is a pity that the photographs are not in more albums, I only see one. I have yet to see any copyright issues.

The upload could be filtered on certain text criteria, or even on Flickr tags if any are relevant.

I have some Flickr upload scripts that can be tailored, so long as it's a 30,000+ project it would seem worth it. The upload can all get put in the same bucket category, unless there are some highly obvious categories that can be automated. It is likely that some clever person will make the bucket category hidden within a few hours of it being created, unfortunately this means that some unagreed bot will then rapidly mark all the uploads as uncategorized. Something to think about, but not necessarily a deal-breaker so long as volunteer categorisers are actively working on the upload.

Let me know if you make progress. I'm fairly busy with a backlog, but if you are asking in a few weeks time, and expect it to take at least a week to complete, that should be fine. --Fæ (talk) 11:35, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

The Flickr user has agreed to change the licences to cc-by-sa, so I hope they will follow through. I don't know where you were seeing just one album because I see about 200 albums here which seems like a decent amount with a modest quantity of images in each album though about 12 albums have between 1200-4000+ images. I suspect a category should be made for the Flickr user's image as well as a "to be reviewed" category. Is that the best way or do you have other ideas. Thanks in advance. Ww2censor (talk) 22:15, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

I am unsure why I could not see the albums before, I must have been looking at the wrong filter. Having albums gives alternative options for titles and category mapping. Yes, I would put them all in a bucket category based on the promise that volunteers will do the categorization. --Fæ (talk) 08:28, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm investigating this further with the Flickr user and think, as he is quite elderly and may find it difficult to relicence all his images, that an OTRS permission will be best in the long run as it may also cover future images. I'm seeking advise from an admin friend and will move on from there and let you know when you might be able to proceed. Thanks for the advise. Ww2censor (talk) 15:03, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Brownlee Collection at Marlborough Museum - Marlborough Historical Society Inc

Example

Dear Fæ: A new article about the en:Brownlee Tramway (Marlborough) lacks photographs. I found a set of 252 delightful historic photos, all older than 1955, from what I could see when flicking through all of them. The thumbnails are clean, but the enlargements are watermarked. I am thinking of uploading the enlargement and than putting the thumbnail on top of it. Are you interested in writing a script, or should I upload 2-3 of the best photos for the article manually? --NearEMPTiness (talk) 06:23, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

I have had a quick look at the site. I'm going to no bid on automation, firstly because as you highlighted there are a couple of hundred files and normally my break-even point on volunteer time is several thousand unless there's a script I can easily recycle. The second point is that I am initially uncertain about copyright. These look likely to be public domain, but there are claims of copyright that need to be considered under NZ law and if we host the files the rationale for ignoring those claims needs to be clear. --Fæ (talk) 08:25, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for having reviewed my request. I fully appreciate your answers and will look out for a more interesting and more rewarding project. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 19:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

publishers and their ways

I uploaded an image yesterday and found it again while searching out the category for it. I found it interesting. Maybe you will also.

1877
1873

I was surprised to see the differences in the images, today when it had annoyed me enough to look again for it. And surprised to see that the dates. Especially because the book I am working on shows evidence of being a cut and paste job (two page numbers on the same page).

This would fail the software image matching searches also? --RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:39, 26 August 2018 (UTC) (and, the boilers do not have the same lids) --RaboKarbakian (talk) 17:54, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

So, apparently, I had to paste these pics on your talk page to see the differences, which are a lot more than my memory of the thumbnail gave me while I was thinking about them. It is like brain snot? Sorry to puddle your talk page with this except, it is kind of interesting. -- RaboKarbakian (talk) 18:00, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

@RaboKarbakian: The two images are not direct derivatives, but a redrawing with slightly different projections and different lines in the drawing. If an automated pattern match were to be set at a low enough level to call these a match, then it would be unlikely to be able to differentiate quite dissimilar drawings of different objects. In general matching very close derivatives and crops from large image samples can be usefully automated, but not things like breeds of cat or alternative sketches of the same cartoon character. --Fæ (talk) 15:24, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

PAS updates

Hi Fæ,

Since your massive, and very useful, Portable Antiquities Scheme bulk upload, have you (or anyone else you're aware of) been making updates? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:57, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

No. Updates appeared to fail on a rerun a few months ago. I have yet to get around to investigating. I did ask about these problems in a meeting with the British Museum, and they thought the issue was probably on my side... frankly, I remain unsure, though a long delay before I try experimenting again is good, just in case this was a difference between the API server cache vs. the BM's internal view of the data. --Fæ (talk) 09:31, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Rights concerning the pictures of Hungarian Berliet trucks

Hi, Fæ!
I was wondering about the rights of these 3 files you uploaded 2 years ago from Fortepan:

I may be mistaken, but the 3 of them seem to be anonymous work just gathered by Fortepan, meaning they can't be in public domain for now: the 70-year protection for anonymous publications in both Hungarian and French laws should protect them until 2036 (Hungary Fortepan 98628.jpg), 2044 (Street view..., most probably a French document) and 2048 (Festetics-kastély...).
I didn't see any explanation in Fortepan's website that could explain what allowed them to switch from standard copyright to a Creative commons license: the behavior of this site looks a lot like the one of John Lloyd with his brochures on Flickr, for me... Do you have more details about these files that may infirm this idea?
Regards -- BarnCas (talk) 03:04, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

The site works on a good faith basis, presuming that uploaders are releasing their own photographs for the public good. These photographs are obviously amateur and appear to be credible original photographs. Other photographs from Fortepan have been deleted, but often that was because they had obvious problems of being taken from somewhere else. Clearly if photographs from a named Fortepan uploader have repeated issues, then it makes sense to delete all photographs from the same uploader, however at a single photograph level it also makes sense to presume good faith unless there are grounds for significant doubt. --Fæ (talk) 05:03, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

I don't question good faith, neither for Fortepan's contributors nor for John Lloyd for his brochure scans, but I strongly suspect their unawareness of copyright laws. As all concerned documents are only scans of old photos/brochures, recent ones (i.e. taken or published after 1947, in Europe) are then often "victims" of an involuntary "copyright laundering". Hence my question. -- BarnCas (talk) 08:11, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Library of Congress mass upload request: American National Red Cross Collection

Hi Fæ!

I recently discovered a trove of photographs from the Library of Congress, the American National Red Cross Collection, with over 18,000 photographs from around the time of World War I. It looks like the vast majority are in the public domain (Rights and Restrictions Information). Interesting aspects include photographs of children, working women, soldiers, hospitals, and various scenes throughout Europe. This seems like an ideal situation for automated uploads. It looks like many images have low resolution JPEGs (<1mb) with high res TIFF versions (~70-140mb), and I believe you have a tool to replace the low resolution JPEGs with high quality TIFF-derived copies. Anyway, I'm sure you have a lot of projects on the back burner, just thought I'd bring this to your attention. As always, thanks for your efforts and contributions! --Animalparty (talk) 20:10, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Summary of topics 19 ("File:Dental chair...") to 46 ("46 "File:The anatomy...14803924773).jpg")

Hi Fæ! The above 28 deletion requests originate from cleaning up two categories (now named Category:The anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human teeth (1844) and Category:The anatomy, physiology and pathology of the human teeth (1854)) of books editions of the same dental book. Only file redirects are requested for deletion. Some of them originate from fixing the edition's year (tagged "year misleading"). Some of them remained from another renaming in 2016 (tagged "2016" or "long ago"); I suggest to delete them, too. Sorry for the mess on your talk page - I didn't know (or have forgotten?) how to request such deletions in a more economic way. Best regards - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 11:18, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

@Jochen Burghardt: Help:VisualFileChange.js does batch deletions and will work using non-existent categories too, it gives a single notice.

Request: John Margolies Roadside America Photograph Archive from LoC

Hi, and thanks for adding so many images from the Library of Congress! When you are free, would it be possible to add a script to pull in the items from the LoC for the John Margolies Roadside America Photograph Archive, which were digitized in 2016? I have pulled some into a new category by the same name, but I imagine the script would be much more efficient and consistent. I created an article for Margolies last week and was quailing at the thought of going through his photographs and trying to upload them one-by-one.

Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:15, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Additional stray thought: since the curators have been very good about adding the city and state to the title of these scans, would it be possible to automatically add a category of something like "Buildings in ___, ___" by searching the title text string for the second comma from the right? Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

I'll take a look, though if I fail to spend much time on this in the next few days, the window for doing these things may slip by several weeks. --Fæ (talk) 10:41, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

@Mliu92: I started drafting a test, but for several days the LOC servers are not working properly for iiif services (the stuff that renders images on request). This could be worked around, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel for a third time unless the service is permanently broken. I'll probably try analysing this again in a couple of weeks. --Fæ (talk) 16:24, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

@Fæ: No rush; I appreciate your help with this. The entire subject of vernacular architecture is fascinating, and there is enough in there (along with the flickr album which has been previously partially transferred to Commons [it appears the flickr account manager added to the album after the initial transfer]) to adequately illustrate the concepts. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:19, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

@Mliu92: Upload run started, it will be a slow run of perhaps 1 per minute, so no need to panic about flooding. Slowness is partly a regular bounce issue where the WMF Commons API appears to not see the uploaded file for a few seconds, so upload verification keeps trying; this might be down to the old code I'm recycling and was later fixed, but I'm saving on my volunteer time by leaving it because it still works. There is a small bug causing the adapted old routine I'm using to skip the first gallery page (100 images), hopefully I'll return to it. Duplicates will be skipped. As I am not attempting to add any automated date or location categories, I'm guessing you will be interested in working on these using catalot later as part of your interest in curating the collection.

This search will list new files as part of the batch upload.

I have re-examined the geographic data available, and the MODS data has entries in the format:

<hierarchicalGeographic>
<country>United States</country>
<state>New York (State)</state>
<city>Franklin</city>
</hierarchicalGeographic>

However putting 500 or 1000 photographs in the top level State category would be considered flooding, and to match "Franklin, New York" to the nearest category of Category:Franklin County, New York, would be a difficult and inconsistent mapping process as our categories on Commons are not consistent. For these reasons I've skipped investing time in it. Where I have done this in the past, such as at Category:Sanborn maps, we had the freedom to create new categories which could be automatically named in a fully logical fashion. Again, the best option is probably to run searches for county/state in the source text within the bucket category and then manually sort them out with catalot in large batches.

NHM images

I'm not sure if these are new, or new to you, but my attention has just been drawn to some open-licenced data sets from the NHM in London, including several sets of images. If you are inclined to upload these, I'd be happy to work on categories, etc. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:01, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Link? Note that the public front end does not provide access to the full resolution images, in fact in some cases the available image may be rather trivial compared to the research quality version behind the scenes. This may vary by data set, but it may make more sense to attempt a joint upload project with the NHM from "the inside", even if this might be someone posting me a disk. The view I had from one staff member was that our key problem with such a project would be the public value of a very large number of extremely similar images of certain animals/bugs/plants; hence the project challenge would be how to curate effectively with possibly near zero available staff time. --Fæ (talk) 15:35, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

It's an obvious keep, and others have said that. After my first one million uploads, I decided to avoid getting involved in lots of these DRs unless there are deeper issues or larger patterns to worry about; my time is better invested on thinking about upload projects themselves or better systematic housekeeping, including deletions like non-obvious duplicates. I think my military uploads number over 250,000, of which about 7% probably could be legitimately deleted. --Fæ (talk) 12:47, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Error in your upload script?

Fæ, I noticed in File:An Eskimo drummer LCCN2001705704.jpg that the script you used to upload the file had {{other date|<|1900}} in the date field, but the source document states "Photographic prints--1900-1930" and that it was created/published in 1931. I don't know if this affects other files, but this needs to be investigated as it is a rather significant error. (This may also result in a copyright check, by the way.)

about my Deletion requests/rights

thank you for your uploads here and your work you do. I have no problems about Benjamin or any other guys on those photos, but this is no family-photo-book here and what is private should stay private. if someone publish as private classified photos on flicker, and don't mind the personal rights of children, then we should be more careful and not post this here again! Same like photos from people in bus, on Airport or where ever. Im very sure nobody asked them for a permission of publishing that photos here under this free licenses... regards LutzBruno (talk) 06:24, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

@LutzBruno: Please stop raising these individually. Flooding my talk page with similar DRs in a few hours is not appropriate as they become impossible to respond to. Using VFC you can raise one DR and there can be one discussion. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 08:07, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

sorry about that, if I knew how to use VFC, I would. It also would help if you stop uploading such files under ridicules description in wrong categories ... you should know better! thank you --LutzBruno (talk) 11:37, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Fæ, can you please go through these images, and delete the ones of "Benjamin", "Lachlan" and other family photos: from a quick check, LutzBruno hasn't nominated them all for deletion. These obviously have no use whatsoever. It would also be very helpful if you could properly categorise these images - many have been automatically placed in irrelevant or top-level categories, or are not categorised at all.

AFK, per notice at the top of this page.

Just as there's no policy based reason to automatically delete photos with children, there's no clear reason given so far to pick out photos of Ben for special treatment.

Many can be kept as illustrative, so the pattern here is disturbing. --Fæ (talk) 02:16, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Date on File:Hotel Seattle, James St. and Yesler Way (4669580283).jpg

The 2010 date on File:Hotel Seattle, James St. and Yesler Way (4669580283).jpg is obviously wrong, but if we don't know the real date, how do we know it's PD? - Jmabel ! talk 16:05, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jmabel: Several ways, in particular the printing style of lithography was out of fashion by the 1920s. Anyway I have dated based on the life of the hotel itself, though the postcard is likely to pre-date the building in 1890, as it appears to be an artist's conceptual drawing with two more floors than were actually built. --Fæ (talk) 19:38, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

The hotel isn't the main issue. The totem pole was unveiled October 18, 1899, and the pergola was built in 1909, so it's at least that late. - Jmabel ! talk 00:00, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Then 1909 to 1914 seems accurate. --Fæ (talk) 18:05, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena of Ecuador

Dear Fae,

Sorry for not replying sooner to your question about the Gen. Juan F. Morales Llerena.jpg that is in the Wikipedia article of General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena, but I have been under the weather with a case of the flu.

I looked up the copyright law of Ecuador in Wikipedia Commons and found the Ecuadorian copyright law is as follows:

Ecuador Copyright expires 70 years after death of copyright owner. Copyright of anonymous or pseudonymous works expires 70 years after first publication. For more information see the "Intellectual Property Law (Codification No. 2006-13)" (English translation)

Since the photo of General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena is a copy of the painting of when the General Juan F. Morales was promoted to the highest military rank in the Republic of Ecuador in 1896, which is to the rank of General of the Republic, the original painting is 122 years old. Let us assume that the painter was 40 years old when he painted the picture and he lives 25 years more years to live until he is 65 years of age, then the painter would have lived until the year of 1921.

According to Ecuadorian copyright law, 1921 (year of death) + 70 (years after death) = 1991, therefore, the photo copy of the original painting of General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena.jpg would have fallen out of copyright protection in 1991.

Also, I believe that there was a question about the copyright of the newspaper article El Telegrafo dated 12 de Abril de 1901 about the death of General Juan Francisco Morales.

Using the same reasoning as above, if the author of the newspaper article was 40 years of age when the article was written and he lived to be 65 years of age, he would have died in 1926. If one were to add 70 years to 1926, the article would have lost its copyright in 1996. And, in addition, the El Telegrafo newspaper attached to the posted El Telegrafo article on the Internet that anyone could use the article as long as the user gave the appropriate reference to the newspaer El Telegrafo, which I did whenever I cited information in the Wikipedia article that was attributable to the newspaper El Telegrafo's article about the death of General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena.

Hopefully, I have addressed the copyright issues of Gen. Juan F. Morales Llerena.jpg and the El Telegrafo article about General Juan Francisco Morales Llerena's death.

Warning

Stop this kind of edits. It's disruptive and has no community support. Jcb (talk) 14:46, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jcb: Don't issue warnings to users you're already in dispute with; and consider yourself warned for removing live deletion notices. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:17, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Jcb, you are misusing sysop tools.

Making File:Dekemahuis te Franeker voor gedeeltelijke afbraak.png sysop edits only due to "Excessive vandalism" is blatantly a lie, when the protection was so that you are personally forcing your opinions on everyone else. You were not granted the tools by the community to "win" arguments. The change I made was as discussed in the Deletion Request.

{{PD-anon-70-EU}} is justified based on the evidence available, replacing this with the weaker and much harder to justify {{PD-old-assumed}}, without even bothering to engage in the community discussion on-going in the DR, is a disservice to this project.

Stop being childish please. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 15:49, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

I gave more information about this file, so that it could be dated more precisely. In line with that, I also suggested a more precise license. It seems odd that someone who took up my suggestion should be warned for "disruptive edits". Vysotsky (talk) 16:08, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

In Jcb's defense, the removal of the deletion notice appears to be a genuine accidental mistake. Jcb used rollback, undoing all Fæ's edits, including the deletion nomination. This may have been sloppy, but not abusive. The subsequent protection doesn't seem appropriate though. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 17:13, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

I see Fae keeps removing the usage of PD-old-assumes, see e.g. here. Fae, your personal war against this license must end here and know. This is your last warning. Jcb (talk) 10:18, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

@Jcb:

Go away. Your change in the example has already been reverted by an experienced editor diff, one that is doubtless more experienced in copyright law than yourself and supports my improvement to the choice of copyright template.

If you want my actions reviewed by another administrator, then get another administrator to do so. You are involved by running a hounding campaign.

It is now impossible to take your warnings here seriously. At this point it is clear that you are the one having a war against logic and copyright. Your failure to provide evidence and deliberate avoidance of discussing specific changes in DRs or anywhere else in a collegiate fashion is gaming the system and misusing your sysop privileges.

Your sysop action in this case were reverted by a bureaucrat, and it was stated in the permanent log that my change was not vandalism. You are being inflammatory and hounding, using your sysop tools as a means to make personal attacks and repeat lies. All of this has been proven.

You are creating a hostile environment and causing me distress.

Go away. You are disinvited to write on this talk page further as you have no intention of working collegiately or respectfully.

overwriting by bot

Can you please check File:The_Architect_and_engineer_of_California_and_the_Pacific_Coast_(1909)_(14761558594).jpg and similar uploads as the bot is overwriting images, contrary to the guidance. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:38, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

The task is as planned. See User:Fæ/Project list/Internet Archive which defines what this does, and has happily been doing it since 2015.

The Internet Archive based uncrop was requested by @Ruff tuff cream puff: here. Manual request this way is the only way that the uncrop action happens. Presumably your revert has stopped Ruff tuff cream puff creating a better or more useful re-crop of the image that they were hoping for.

By the way, as the original uploader of the file three years ago (i.e. the version that you chose to revert to), I have no problem with RTCP's image housekeeping work, they are often visible on my watchlist. --Fæ (talk) 10:57, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes don't blame the bot, I am requesting these uncrops because I am working on this journal right now. Internet Archive has badly cropped images, many so bad as to be useless. Fae's bot can uncrop these so that we can perform better crops of the images on the individual pages. Some pages are also more useful in uncropped condition, for example if they are full plates or full-page advertisements. I am uncropping the bad images so that I can eliminate duplicates, then crop each image individually so they can be used. As you can see, the image you reverted is not very useful in its current state. My plan was to uncrop the page, delete any duplicates of the page, then crop the two individual images on the page. Category:The Architect and engineer of California and the Pacific Coast (1909) has the crops I have done, you can peruse them to see if any need improvement. I will attend to the uncropped pages in that category, of if you want to help please feel free, thanks Ruff tuff cream puff (talk) 19:59, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

P.S. because some of your reverts were exact duplicate pages waiting for deletion, I am un-reverting them so they can be deleted, reducing the amount of files I have to check. Thanks for your patience Ruff tuff cream puff (talk) 20:01, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your understanding--Werxa (talk) 20:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

@Werxa: If anyone on Wikimedia projects makes you uncomfortable, the best thing to do is to not respond on-wiki. Responding will just encourage their interest.

Sockpuppetry cases should be raised as per COM:SPI for investigation. If you are not using other accounts, you should simply ignore allegations. If you are using other accounts, or may have misused accounts in the past, it's a good idea to talk through your account use by email with a checkuser you feel you can trust, Krd may be a good option. See Special:ListUsers/checkuser for a current list. Alternatively take a look at logging in to IRC, you can do so anonymously, and talking to one of the administrators that hang out in the #wikimedia-commons channel by private message. You don't have to tell them anything about your actual account here in order to get general advice.

With such things, it's always best to not discuss any details on-wiki.

Alexis Jazz is free to discuss on IRC at some point with me, however I normally ignore sockpuppetry cases. I spent a significant time on this sort of thing when I was a Wikipedia admin, even developing some interesting automated detection methods. Apart from serious harassment cases, hunting socks is a pointless time sink; I would offer that advice to Alexis Jazz as I would anyone else.

Right now I'm proving a sourdough loaf for baking, it's almost ready to pop out of the banneton and I have to get the oven hot. Baking bread is a really relaxing and satisfying activity. Maybe you would benefit from a focus on other stuff for a while, away from the keyboard? --Fæ (talk) 13:22, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

There are not enough checkusers. That's the only reason this sock hasn't been blocked yet. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 18:19, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

@Fæ: Thank you Fæ I have read your message and I thank you, you are really right that I should not listen to provocations by Alexis Jazz, and that I should be away from the keyboard for a while and that I should do other things, thanks for the tips--Werxa (talk) 18:25, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Renaming

About this file renaming: "Forca" is Portuguese for "gallows"; the original title was an attempt to spell "força", which means "strength". -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 16:34, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

PD-anon-70-EU

Hello,

Here you changed PD-old-assumed to PD-anon-70-EU:

This would be right, if this would be in a other country than Germany, but please read the warning note on the template:

Note: In Germany and possibly other countries, certain anonymous works published before July 1, 1995 are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author. See Aktuelle Rechtslage in Deutschland, last paragraph. Please use this template only if the author never claimed authorship or his/her authorship never became public in any other way.

The works come from Kiel (Germany), they was published 1986 and in the right-system of Germany, you see it could be an non-anonymous work. So I propose to replace the PD-anon-70-EU with PD-old-assumed.

PS: Do you control all images tagged with PD-old-assumed uploaded by me?

Habitator terrae 🌍 16:57, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes I read that carefully. However I do not understand why it does not apply, I may be skipping over some part of this. As I understand it, the work is anonymous and the author has not been discovered through reasonable research, even though it has been published in a commercial source work. In these circumstances I would count that as evidence that could be produced in court as to copyright status, i.e. the authorship never became public. What other evidence would a German court require to be produced (not hypothetically please, but based on actual implemented law). Thanks --Fæ (talk) 17:01, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

@Habitator terrae: I had an interesting reply from Carl at Commons:Village_pump/Copyright#Unknown_German_authors. If we can presume that these can be described as Lichtbilder, as they are functional or not specifically artistic photographs, then any of these than are pre-1926 are public domain, without having to make any assumptions.

Whether there is an even better template to apply than PD-anon-70-EU is something to ponder, but PD-old-assumed would then be the worst of several options. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 19:38, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I know, but in the de.wikipedia copyright forum, this often was discussed and we has the consensus, that the border between isn't really clear, so that Lichtblider should be treat like normal works (de:Wikipedia:Urheberrechtsfragen/Archiv/2018/09#Fotos, die nach §72 UrhG gemeinfrei sind.

More lies

Excuse me, Fæ. I remember you told me not to pay attention to the provocations of Alexis Jazz, but the truth follows me and, without me having spoken or provoked, continues falsely accusing me of being a puppet user, if I make a comment on a page. There he is and he comments, and I do not like the truth. I would like you, as administrator and who knows Alexis Jazz, to stop your false accusations, because I do not provoke him, much less talk to him, please do something, because I can not comment without him falsely commenting that I give a user puppet--Werxa (talk) 22:30, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

What will happen to the Wikimedia Commons Flickr-account?

What will happen to the Wikimedia Commons Flickr-account after SmugMug will delete most of its images? Or are you planning to upgrade the account to avoid these mass-deletions? Also does Wikimedia Commons have a regular upload schedule to import images from Flickr: The Commons? Although I don't think that that service will be dropped anytime soon, it is possible that it might come under SmugMug's axe as the service obviously isn't profitable. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:56, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

There is no plan to pay $50 to Flickr to keep the account going. It will probably be kept for test purposes only.

Flickr Commons has been gone through previously. It is relatively straightforward to do updates (manually instigated, not automated), though I think it's almost all my uploads. --Fæ (talk) 09:49, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Question

Since you seem to know a thing or two about telling what colorization best resembles the original, any idea how to tell these two versions apart? GMG ^talk 16:51, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

These look very different, because they are different original drypoint prints. Unfortunately there is no unique print number to tell them apart, but one is physically in the MFAH and the other physically in the LOC PP archives. Nothing the the records at either site indicates how many prints in total the artist made of this work. Both seem to have been scanned very well, which for research adds value as the highly different colouring could be informative for a researcher examining the artist's techniques.

It worries me slightly that the "digitally restored" LOC version has had its colors altered, when all it needed was a crop and slight rotate. The colours appear unnecessarily saturated compared to the LOC original. But meh, life's too short to get into another debate on avoidable recolouring. --Fæ (talk) 19:22, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Fæ!

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.

1870 is too young to use PD-old-70 with an unknown photographer.

The unknown photographer could have been 20 in 1870, and lived to 100(dying in 1950). I like to only use PD-old-70 for unknown authors when it is mathematically impossible for anyone to have lived to 1948. PD-old-assumed is honest and says that there is a extremely low probability of there still being copyright. Abzeronow (talk) 16:54, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Is there any consensus that supports the idea that PD-old-70 cannot apply to unknown photographers for 150 year old photographs? This seems way under significant doubt considering how copyright from 1870 lasted a maximum of 28 years under UK law and similarly short periods in other countries. --Fæ (talk) 17:05, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

You have the OTRS ticket and you claim the evidence that it claims, that need not be in any template. OTRS is not there to hide the copyright evidence, copyright statements have to be verified in public. In my experience, collectors may claim all sorts of things that lack evidence. If the drawing was made during the subject's life and the artist was anonymous or demonstrably unknown (i.e. there is no signature on the back), then that may be sufficient for a license and a better one than PD-old-assumed too. --Fæ (talk) 16:39, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

I see what you're saying: you prefer a license as specific as possible. Thus, I suppose that {{PD-anon-70-EU}} will do (no signature, published more than 120 years ago). --Ruthven (msg) 16:55, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes, however COM:L also states "All description pages on Commons must indicate clearly under which license the materials were published, and must contain the information required by the license (author, etc.) and should also contain information sufficient for others to verify the license status even when not required by the license itself or by copyright laws." So, the goal should be to meet those requirements as far as we can and avoid obscuring or missing out that information when it is available. --Fæ (talk) 16:58, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Sure, but the pd-old template that was present before was informative enough imho. In any case, it's better now that we've found a commons ground. But have you ever considered that a more collaborative approach might bring better results? Instead of a lone war against the {{PD-old-assumed}} template, you could have contacted the uploader asking for more information and suggesting possible licenses.

PAS updates

Hi, Three months on, please could I trouble you to try updating our PAS downloads again, when you get chance? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:43, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the nudge. PAS has either been changing things, or letting things break, either way it will take investigation to get something running. --Fæ (talk) 08:49, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing: Investigation:

Tacking on some error-handling shows that querying a gallery page works, example https://finds.org.uk/database/images/index/page/18
However picking one image from that gallery page, like https://finds.org.uk/database/images/image/id/1005130, gives a 401 error
This may be a technical failure, though it could also be that the database structure has been redesigned but left in place the earlier web front end structure. Example https://finds.org.uk/database/ajax/download/id/1005130. I've tested the first 50+ pages of the gallery (by date sort order) and the error is consistent.

It could be that manually going through how it works again will give an alternate workflow, that'll be the next step.

P.S. I'll be away from my desktop from the end of Wednesday, so further investigation may be piecemeal. --Fæ (talk) 10:43, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

It looks like the failures were because the d/b now insists on the image url including "recordtype/artefacts". Example new upload File:Seal_impression_(FindID_874200).jpg, which includes a new licence type of cc-by with an attribution not to PAS/BM (the previous standard). It could be that the changes are to get better attributions, which is clearly a good thing for us too.

Work-around warning: For images where there is no title, these will be skipped, e.g. https://finds.org.uk/database/images/image/id/1005613/recordtype/artefacts

It could be that titles can be inherited from the find record, but I think I was getting these consistently from the label tag on the image. Unless there are a lot of these, I'll leave it as is for the moment.

BTW Housekeeping note this does mean that the "catalogue" links in previous uploads may all fail with 401 errors, but can be fixed...

Anyway

Done as the re-run is happening right now, and a sample looks okay to me so far. Ping me if something is going wonky and I should halt the run.

Please retweet!

--Fæ (talk) 11:09, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Update on images with no titles - after replacing these with the Find objecttype as a title, these then seem to have no available description field (desc). If some have descriptions they will be uploaded, otherwise I'm presuming their image metadata is too lacking without manual intervention. Re-running just in case this fixes some of the earlier skipped cases, however the first 25 pages of images have resulted in 0 fixes. Example coin image coin object page. --Fæ (talk) 16:06, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for all this. I'll look at adding categories, tomorrow. Tweet retweeted! I'm confused by your coin example; the latter page has

<span>A silver post medieval sixpence of Elizabeth I, probably dating to <abbr title="Anno Domini">AD</abbr> 1572</span><span>. </span><span>Reverse depicting a square shield on a long cross fourchée dividing the legend, with the date on top. Mint of London.</span><span> Probably ermine initial mark. North vol.II p.134 no.1997. Appears to be counterstamped at 2 o'clock on the obverse.</span>

. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:37, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes, it is confusing. There are descriptions that go with individual photographs, as well as the artefact/find itself. The photographs affected by missing titles and descriptions against the photograph are very much a minority, though we could inherit the find description and objecttype (instead of title) at the risk of, say, describing a detailed photograph of an axe head with the complete description of the axe. If I do revisit this it may be after Christmas... --Fæ (talk) 23:41, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Update on unlabeled photographs - These now adopt the Find objecttype as a title and will adopt the Find description if the image has no label text. Example File:BUCKLE (FindID 891606).jpg and File:COIN (FindID 892338).jpg. The drawbacks are that the titles are going to be based on very short and not very descriptive texts for the object type and where multiple photographs (or drawings) for the object exist for unlabeled photographs, then they will share the same Find description. This may never be a problem if multiple object Finds always have the photographs labeled, e.g. Sixpence and Double Crown are the same id / findID (metadata terminology varies between Finds and Images!). I'm restarting from zero to catch these minority of cases.

Note that this will run today, but cannot be left unattended due to internet connection glitches requiring multiple restarts. So there may be a pause for several days while I'm away from my normal desktop. --Fæ (talk) 12:24, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Fae, this upload of yours had been tagged for speedy as dupe of its TIFF version. However, as it may be a sort of restored version, I am hesitating to perform the dupe-speedy. What's your opinion? --Túrelio (talk) 07:46, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

We keep all official LOC tiff/jpeg pairs. Per:

Several VP discussions over the years, examples Commons:Village pump/Archive/2013/10#Handling_TIFFs_in_NARA_mass_upload, Commons:Village pump/Archive/2014/03#Tiffs_and_jpgs,_jpgs_and_tiffs,_oh_my
This file may be upgraded to the same resolution as the tiff, User:Fæ/LOC#Upscale_jpegs, though care should be taken to distinguish between the LOC archive original and the digitally enhanced version

I have now upscaled the image to match the TIFF and corrected the gallery cross link. --Fæ (talk) 09:37, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Just to make clear, the speedy delete rationale there has very little to do with you - I presume this is a batch upload - and a lot more at my frustration at having to redo TIFF descriptions twice because of secret uploads that aren't linked to the derivative files in use that I'm trying to fix up and get higher resolution on. You may have noticed I am very, very precise in documenting linkages between files, and I really hate not having proper, documented interlinking.

I am frustrated, but more at having had the well-documented TIFFs deleted several times already this month, solely because they're newer, and being worried at how many similar things have happened when I was on wikibreak. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:43, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Having uploaded around half a million files from the Library of Congress, I do take care to preserve as much metadata as possible. Obviously they are not massively categorized, most having simple bucket categories based on the collection. Were I to do anything else, my talk page would be full of complainants that I was flooding categories that they happen to be interested in. I strongly recommend avoiding creating duplicates in the first place. I make several checks to avoid duplicates, and you may find it a lot less frustrating to take the same precaution rather than creating problems and eating up volunteer time. --Fæ (talk) 18:05, 13 December 2018 (UTC)

Request for batch upload

Hi Fæ! I hope you're well. I wanted to know if you might be interested in working on a medium-sized project of batch uploading some of the photos from the JFK Library [4]. I've been uploading images from this collection and have found many rare color photos of political leaders from the early 1960s (many are politicians from the new post-colonial countries and there are few if any photos of these individuals on Wikipedia). As far as I can tell the White House Photographers (government employees whose photos are in the public domain) were Knudsen, Robert L. (Robert LeRoy)[5], Stoughton, Cecil W. (Cecil William)[6], and Rowe, Abbie[7]. In total there are around 17,000 photographs from these photographers in the digital collection. Would you be able to upload them? If there's anything I can do to help please just let me know. I would love to see these on Commons and will gladly help add categories for them and use them on Wikipedia pages once uploaded.Monopoly31121993(2) (talk) 19:12, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Large Flickr upload request

Maybe you remember my asking about a Australian Flickr users images a few months ago. The discussion is entry 381 on your 2018 archive page User talk:Fæ/2018. At my request the user has now changed their licencing to a free licence and is quite happy for us to use them. It must now be approaching 50,000 images as he told me that on a recent weekend he took and uploaded about 1,000. I suppose when you get around to it, and I know you have time constraints, you will have to make and add a suitable attribution category, such as Category:Files from sheba also Flickr steam or similar, but also a "to be categorised" category, so I and hopefully some other editors can work their way through them because his categorisation does not seem too detailed. Some of his images may not be usable and would probably need to be deleted upon manual review. Please ping me when you get time to proceed. Thanks in advance. Ww2censor (talk) 13:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: This has been set up to drop the files in Category:Photographs by Sheba Also. There is a test run filtering on albums matching "Bridges", for which there is only one with 121 files in it. Take a look and depending on your feedback I can either upload everything else with some conditions (min name length = 15, good license, Flickr ID does not exist on Commons, bad text not in general blacklist) or upload specific sets of albums that you think would be more likely to be okay than others.

There is some limited auto-categorization. This only happens when Flickr tags exactly match a Commons Category name, and the category does not have any of the normal "diffusion" templates. If anyone complains about flooding, they should always add a diffusion template to the "parent" category. For example File:New Years Eve-BW (111839472).jpg had been auto-added to Category:Brisbane.

Many titles appear to have "+" and "=" in the titles. These are being used without replacement in the Commons filenames, however I do have an easy way to mass rename these later, so long as they stay in the bucket category. In particular I normally filter out "=" or replace it with "-" as this causes wiki problems if the filename is needed inside templates. --Fæ (talk) 16:36, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

I now actually see 211 images being both Bridges and Brisbane ComicCon. I was going to ask the photographer if he is happy with the overall category name you have given or would prefer something different. I don't see that you added a blanket "To be categorised" category because, as I understand it, placing them only within the photographer's own category alone means sifting through each one in that category, which will be huge, to find uncategorised files at a later stage. Personally I'd prefer to have such a additional category from the start and images can be removed from there once they have been categorised better. Unless you have a method of finding the uncategorised files easily without such a category; I don't know how you would do that. Getting rid of the "=" and "+" after the facts seems a good idea but not urgent. I'll look at his albums and see if there are some I think should be excluded or excluded at this time. Thanks for the quick response on this upload. Ww2censor (talk) 15:46, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

For now I have recategorised by batch task the 211 files into Category:Bridges in Brisbane and created a new category Category:Oz Comic-Con Brisbane 2017. Ww2censor (talk) 16:10, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: Keep in mind you can build a neat query using the normal Commons search that can list files in the bucket category matching any particular Flickr album or tag name, as these are in the descriptions.

I am starting the run on all files now, ping me if something looks wrong and I'll halt the run as soon as I notice the ping.

The {{chc}} template is being added, in line with your question about to be categorised. To list the relevant files you can use https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=5887574. --Fæ (talk) 16:53, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Patrick Rogel: As this was my request, I'll review the Flickr users images to see if there any obvious upload excludables but with 45,000 images it may be easier to delete those that slip through. Maybe some individual albums can be excluded if they contain too many likely copyright images. Ww2censor (talk) 14:52, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Fæ and Patrick Rogel: I've had a decent look at the albums and indeed there are occasional derivative works which can no doubt be deleted as they are uncovered. This album "Sultanate of Oman Display Brisbane Mall" has many possible personality rights images and I see some other personal images of the Flickr user himself plus some family photos interspersed within albums. These to can probably be weeded out as they are found. My estimate is maybe 1^ or 2% might need to be deleted, and even that is a pure guess. I defer to your greater experience and knowledge. Ww2censor (talk) 10:07, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: The flickr uploader has run through the whole stream once. The total unique photographs by Flickr id gave a total to upload of 37,024 images. It could be that the total we currently have of 22,000 is correct as only files with valid licenses, are jpeg files and have a "Safe" status, AND have deducesable valid file names (i.e. not short or duff names like "DSC 10998-3" or "Duck") will have upload attempts. It may also be the case that images which are not in any albums may be skipped. If you can spot a photograph that you expected to be uploaded from Flickr and there is no obvious reason why it was skipped, please give me a link and I'll think about what has caused a skip. In the meantime there is a re-run that may add a few missed files due to internet glitches. Note that I'll be having another long weekend away from my desktop from Thursday. --Fæ (talk) 12:38, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

A further 1,687 photographs have been added which were in no albums (Flickrsets). I normally avoid no-album photographs on the presumption that they are less interesting, however from what I have seen there is plenty of educational value in these remaining photographs. I'll draw the line here, if there is some reason that more useful files should be added, feel free to ping me with some examples. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 11:16, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Guidance on photos of self?

Can you point me to that documentation you had on the "human tripod" theory of getting a photo of one's self? If a person stages a photo then gives their phone to someone else, perhaps while being a tourist on vacation, then the person who directed the photo and owns the phone is the copyright holder. Thanks.

You spoke up about this, right? Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:44, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

I have expressed opinions, though 'human tripod' is someone else's neologism, probably.

WIPO is authoritative, so this summary is useful:

In this instance, however, the Court of Justice went further. It stated that the photographer’s “free and creative choices” in selecting a background and pose, adjusting lighting and employing different developing techniques to produce a photo provide a “personal touch” that confers originality and makes a photo worthy of protection as an intellectual creation which conveys the photographer’s personality.

This case is directly relevant to the monkey selfie case. While Painer deals with portrait pictures, the court clearly lists the various actions that warrant originality, including the choice of angle, lenses and even techniques for developing the photograph.

It is also important to note that nowhere in its definition – nor, for that matter, in any EU case law or legislation – does the law require that the button be pressed by the photographer. The acts preceding and following the taking of the photograph seem to be more important in establishing whether it is the author’s own intellectual creation.

https://www.wipo.int/wipo_magazine/en/2018/01/article_0007.html

From this summary it is easy to understand what elements of 'direction' are relevant to judging if the person that pressed the shutter were adding the creativity that copyright law protects, or another person was adding those choices of background, pose, lighting and so on. --Fæ (talk) 15:57, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Are you aware of any particular Commons guidance page which shares this or anything similar? If not then I will start one and ping you after there is some content there. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:22, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Pause this, but at d:Wikidata_talk:Autobiography#Better_guidance_on_pictures I raise the issue for Wikidata's sake. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:44, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

There have been discussions, but little is said in policy or guidelines. The draft help page Commons:Own work says that if you are not holding the camera, you are not the photographer, which I would say is out of date compared to the WIPO statement this year. There is also the tangential issue of rights under a work for hire arrangement, but the law presumes that the person holding the camera is being paid or has a contract, so at best interpreting the law this way is a stretch.

Engagement may be limited. If this is a current issue, it may be better to work on a proposal and ask for votes on it next year to establish a consensus for guidelines to be added to an existing page. --Fæ (talk) 10:06, 20 December 2018 (UTC)
