Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 national nominations[edit]

@Gnangarra: I'm following up to make sure you have everything you need for your jury to start voting on the photos. I see that your campaign is ready, but round 1 has not been created in montage yet. If you have any question or there is something we can help you with, please ping me. Also, please remember that the deadline for submitting AU's nominations to the international team is October 31, 2017. This is a strict deadline. Thanks! :) --LilyOfTheWest (talk) 18:52, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lily we started over night and will be completed before the deadline. Gnangarra 06:19, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 jury[edit]

Hi @Gnangarra: , just by way of introduction, I am the international jury coordinator for Wiki Loves Monuments 2017, so I will be overseeing the international jury process over the coming weeks. I am writing because we have been looking through Montage, and it appears that you are the only person listed on the Australian jury. The competition rules state that local juries must have a minimum of three members, so we are reaching out to you now to get a better understanding of what your situation is and if we can somehow help to rectify the situation, if necessary. I am adding LilyOfTheWest to this conversation for her reference. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you --Nevborg (talk) 21:01, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Montage is just a tool, there is nothing to rectify. first pass eliminates those images that dont meet the basic size, information requirements, copyright, or any other rule criteria some of which montage does the rest I do as its all Wikiverse issues. Then judging is done as a collective sitting in one room by skilled photographers who arent Wikimedians no need to have multiple logins, this year doing a 1 through 5 sort, we then did a review of those rated 4 & 5, sadly there were very few 5s after that those still rated 5 are reviewed creating the final 10. The biggest issue we had was with the tool and not being able to close off rounds to record each step of the process, with the final selections being done external to montage and me just using montage after the event to keep the 10 as a group that can then be extracted by the international jury secondary to that was the ratio of what could be called good images(ones that would pass COM:QIC). Gnangarra 00:03, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Gnangarra: thank you for the clarification. If I understood correctly (and please correct me if I misunderstood), you are saying that the judging was done collectively, with only yourself accessing and logging results in Montage. Could you confirm that there were at least 3 judges forming part of this jury process? May I also ask you to kindly follow the instructions here in order to formally submit your photos? Please let me know if you have any questions or further clarifications. --Nevborg (talk) 10:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
done, may I suggest in the future the jury tool get modified to provide this information, or even have a button to submit directly to the International section rather than wasting time with emails Gnangarra 11:24, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Error 404 on your video[edit]

Hello,

your medium File:Autonomous bus trials South Perth - 3.ogv produces a 404 (not found) error when trying to play it. Since the transcoding log shows a failure back in April I assume it is not a recent problem. Maybe you want to re-upload the medium. -- Renardo la vulpo (talk) 21:25, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

De-adminship warning[edit]

This talk page in other languages:

Dear {{subst:PAGENAME}}. I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

Diuris[edit]

Hello Gnangarra,

Thanks for your work - especially your plant images. I'm working through the Wikipedia pages of Diuris and have just expanded Diuris carinata. While I do not profess to be an expert, I think your image is of Diuris corymbosa rather than D. carinata. Reason? - colour around the callus. The labellum of D. carinata is mostly yellow except for a red-bown outline around the callus and a blotch nearer the tip. Also, the labellum mid-lobe is longer than the lateral lobes - in your image they appear about the same length. This page has some good images. I think these colours are the reason for the common name "bee orchid". Distribution might help - if your photo was taken well south of Perth it would be more likely to be D. carinata. Great pity if I'm right - it means there is no image on the D. carinata page. I would value your opinion. Gderrin (talk) 23:15, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gderrin: I never claim to be sufficiently knowledgeable to be positive on ids will happy be corrected. Description says not 100% certain, given it 12 years ago my best guess on it was taken in w:Kings Park which isnt help in that beside being natural bushland it also contains an area dedicated to the different flora found around, we have had id issues with banksias. Given all of that your reasoning is probably right identifying species I rely on Florabase who's information is derived from botanic surveys and collections by specialists. Which beside physical traits also takes into account the soil, location, time of year, and known to have been recorded there for something like diuris I would have just tried matching images and then location. I'll put D. carinata on my list and endeavour to get a photo for you when it flowers. Gnangarra 02:47, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mate - that's great, thanks. I'll be over later in the year looking out for it (and lots of others) too. All the best to you. Gderrin (talk) 04:06, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Let me know when you're over will organise for you to meet some locals and get you to some of the less visited locations in search of flowers Gnangarra 04:10, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WLE Australia 2018[edit]

Hi there Gnangarra,

I think I remember seeing something in the WMAU mailing lists that you might need a hand with WLE judging for this year. If you do I'd love to take part. I've contributed a lot of detailed reviews at FPC over the years, and I'm known there, if that counts as relevant qualifications. You can look at User:Thennicke/Featured to see images I've helped promote to FP.

Anyway let me know if you do want that help; I think I'm in a good place to assist. Regards -- Thennicke (talk) 09:29, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Gnangarra. You deleted the file as copyright violation. In my opinion the file is very simple and ineligible for copyright. Do you want to restore the file? Taivo (talk) 07:58, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I looked at it again, I see more than simple geometry, the images includes colour choices and the specific placement of 3 objects. I would also contest the claim that it could be considered the work of the uploader as it is the original work of the graphic designer in producing a logo for a corporation. I would like to add the uploader has a considerable history of repeatably uploading corporate logos as own work or PD sourced back to LOGOPEDIA where the niceties and respect of copyright is apparently ignored. If the local Wikipedia as fair use then it may be eligible to be uploaded there. Gnangarra 09:31, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Perth Stadium images[edit]

Hi Gnangarra, JarrahTree suggested contacting you in regards to a question on Perth Stadium images. While there is 188 images in Category:Perth Stadium these all seem to be from the opening. We don't have any of subsequent events there (AFL, Cricket, Soccer, etc.). Do you know whether there is a reason, e.g. copyright law? The stadium website just states that visitors can't take images for commercial purposes, Does Commons fall under that? I have a few pictures from the last Scorchers game but I'm reluctant to upload in case it's a copyright violation of some sort. Do you have any advice? Thank you, Calistemon (talk) 07:42, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Its not a copyright violation, if its a T&C of entry then it can be a civil matter. The question is very difficult as to how the Stadiums lawyer, then the courts would interpret "commercial use", remembering the Commons must allow commercial use. Thats before you consider the media rights issues related to organising body like the ACB, AFL... I would suggest contacting the PR/Media people at the stadium and request permission to upload then lodge that with OTRS system which will provide you with archive of the permissions. Gnangarra 08:28, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Gnangarra, that explain why we just don't have any images at all from events at the stadium and it will probably remain so. I also a few a few AFL pictures and some Wildcat ones from Perth Arena. At this point I will just keep them stacked away and not upload them for the above reason. Interestingly, in the Commons copyright guidance, sporting events aren't mentioned at all. Thanks again for your explanation. Calistemon (talk) 00:58, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Join WMAU and ask them to champion permissions from the stadium for access, and from the national bodies to allow photos from cameras using less than a 100/200mm lens to be able to be released. Gnangarra 08:56, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tim's Thicket Beach or Tims Thicket Beach[edit]

Hi Gnangarra, I noticed you have created Category:Tim's Thicket Beach a few month ago while I have created Category:Tims Thicket Beach just a bit before. Now, I can find evidence for both ways of spelling and really don't know what is the correct one. What do you think? The two categories should really be merged, but to what name? Calistemon (talk) 01:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think it has to be like a lottery - could be either - some usages with some without - just needs to be merged and the alternative usage indicated as a header also found as... JarrahTree (talk) 02:30, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

agree its bit of raffle as to which is the correct term, nothing on the public facing free access areas of Landgate says anything about the location. There may be some records in Mandurah about the names origin if anyone is down that way with the time to look. As JT says pick one and go with it leave a redirect at the other, Wikidata and Wikipedia will also need to be adjusted... I'm not fussed about which one gets chosen Gnangarra 03:15, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No worries. I'm home again tonight and I will consult my street directory. Whichever spelling it uses I will go with and update the relevant pages. Calistemon (talk) 03:57, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have checked both my street directories at home and both stated Tims Thicket Beach, so I have moved the images there. Calistemon (talk) 11:16, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons![edit]

Dear Gnangarra

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC[edit]

Hello Gnangarra,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Board election: voting is open![edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

The voting phase for our group's board election starts today. Please consider casting your vote. Voting ends on December 17.

I wish you all the best for the rest of the year 2021. Stay safe and healthy! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 17:03, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Helo![edit]

  • Hi, Gnangarra! Good to know that you are still active in Commons. Browsing through my old stuff, I've just recalled some of the discussions and dramas we were both involved in some ten years ago! I was away from Commons for a couple of years, now slowly returning to QIC and FPC. But no longer with the same passion of "an elephant in a porcelain shop", as you said once... All the best, Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:01, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • PS - If I recall well, you were one of the founders of QIC. You may want to have a quick view of the thread I started recently in the QIC talk page about how the QIC bar has dropped. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:01, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Alvesgaspar: Yes, I'm still here its good see you are back I'll have read of the discussion. Gnangarra 03:53, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

How we will see unregistered users[edit]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Your most memorable shot of 2021[edit]

Happy New Year! As always at the beginning of the new year, I'm inviting you to share your most memorable shot of the past year. Which of your photos stood out in 2021? Which image created special memories that you'd like to share with others? On behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best for 2022. Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Save the date: Commons Photographers meeting next week[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

Please save the date: on Saturday, June 19th, our next virtual Zoom meeting is going to take place. As you know, one goal of these meetings is to share knowledge about different types of photography. This time, we've lined up the following presentations:

  • Photography in Nigeria
  • Photographing vehicles
  • I started printing my images – here’s what I've learned so far…

If you'd like to participate in this event, please consider signing up on this page. Also, if you'd like to present at one of the next meetings, please send me a quick note. Sharing your experiences and learnings with others can make a huge difference!

I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best! Hope to see you on the 19th.

Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:13, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

  • Also, we now have a page for local events organized by members of our user group: Local events 2022. Please check it out and consider organizing an event yourself!

Thanks for being a member of our group and for sharing your works under a free license. Have fun taking pictures!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're invited to provide input…[edit]

Dear fellow member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

At our last meeting end of August, we talked about getting in touch with the Wikimedia Foundation and offering our help for improving Wikimedia Commons. Today, I invite you to provide your input on a draft open letter to the Foundation. Over the course of the next ten days, we'll further improve the text together, before inviting people to sign it. If you're interested in providing input, please engage in the discussion on the talk page of the draft.

In the meanwhile, I hope you're well and have a great time taking photos! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 08:42, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Online workshop this weekend[edit]

Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,

This coming Saturday, October 8, we'll host an online post processing workshop. On behalf of our events coordinator Shreya I invite you to sign up for the event using this Google form.

I hope you're well. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:50, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from the CPUG Board[edit]

Dear user group member,

I'm writing you to today on behalf of the board of the Commons Photographers User Group. The past year has been a busy one for us. In 2022, we've had more activities than ever before in the history of our group and you'll find an overview on our group's page.

With that being said, 2022 was also a year of learning for the current board members. Most of us hadn't been involved in running the Photographers User Group and we spent quite some time on getting used to our new roles. We all feel it was a steep learning curve.

That's why, at our last board meeting, we decided to ask our members whether they'd be ok with us serving for another year. Extending our board duties to the end of 2023 would allow us to continue the work we've started this year, and to benefit from the knowledge we've built over the past twelve months.

However, in the end, it's up to you and the other members of our group to decide whether such an extension of our board term should be granted. I invite you to voice your opinion on this page:

Commons:Commons Photographers User Group/Board Elections 2022

We'll gather feedback until December 27, and we'll keep you in the loop about the outcomes of this process.

Thanks so much for your ongoing support of our group. I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
