User talk:Gnosis

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Gnosis!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Broken template in File:Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art 1 edit.jpg

Hello Gnosis, it seems that your latest change or upload of File:Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art 1 edit.jpg broke a template. This assumption has been made because the file appeared in the maintenance Category:Language templates with no text displayed. To fix this issue please check this category for further information. If the file is not contained in the maintenance category anymore someone else already did the work and you can ignore this message. Thank you for your cooperation. --ArndBot (talk) 17:52, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign for User:The Photographer

Please excuse me spamming you. As a regular on Feature Picture Candidatess you will recognise User:The Photographer, who has 86 Featured Pictures. His contributions cover the architecture and culture of Brazil and Venezuela. He has basic photographic equipment: an old D300 camera and 35mm lens, and lives in a poor country where photographic equipment is expensive. The Photographer has recently taken several images using the technique where multiple frames are stitched together to create a high-resolution panorama. However, many times frustrated with the stitching errors that result from trying to take such photos without a proper panoramic head for his tripod. This special equipment permits the camera to be rotated around the entrance pupil of the lens, and eliminates such errors. Having a panoramic head would greatly increase the potential for The Photographer to create sharp high-resolution images for Commons. In addition, the purchase of a fisheye lens would enable 180 × 360° panoramas to be taken, which are a great way to explore a scene as though one is really there.

Please see the discussion about the Crowd-funding campaign on User talk:The Photographer#Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign and visit the Generosity Crowd-funding Campaign page to consider donating. Even a modest donation will make a difference if many people contribute. Thanks. -- Colin (talk) 21:11, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Oppose rationale

Your vote here did not supply any rationale. You are required at FPC to give a reason for an oppose vote. Not doing so is considered disrespectful towards the nominator and/or creator of the image.

Your vote here is bizarre to the point of being offensive. We typically see oppose votes that make little sense from users who are revenge voting. I could have worded my response better, but your reaction is troubling. Firstly you did not attempt to engage with me on that page or the talk page, but instead went to AN/U to get some admin response. You then failed to ping me on my talk page, which is required as a courtesy when taking someone to AN/U. Further, I suggest you (and Taivo) learn the difference between a "personal attack" and being strongly criticised. You may wish to explain your vote, as it remains a puzzle that any user in good faith could make such a comment. -- Colin (talk) 09:02, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

FA-WP?

Hi Gnosis!

I have a quite dumb question. Could you please be so kind and give me a short explanation what this page is about? I don't speak any Persian and google translate seems to be very weak on this page: ویکی‌پدیا:گزیدن نگاره برگزیده/20180109 Vienna State Opera at blue hour 850 9387.jpg

Thanks in advance --Granada (talk) 10:08, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi Granada, it was a nomination for Featured picture in Persian Wikipedia. Your picture was nominated by myself and after the voting, it was promoted to FP (Congrats!) It is scheduled to be featured on the first page of Persian Wikipedia on April 2, 2018. Cheers! --Gnosis (talk) 11:34, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

سلام. فرصت دارید به File:Untitled by Mansour Qandriz (2).jpg توضیح انگلیسی اضافه کنید؟ در گنب انبار گیر کرده. از متن کریم امامی هم می‌شود استفاده کرد. :Hanooz 17:43, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

درود. متن و اطلاعاتی را افزودم. بهتر است نام نگاره را به Mansour Ghandriz انتقال دهید. نامی که موزه های مهم جهان مثل متروپولیتن از آن استفاده کرده اند. --Gnosis (talk) 20:27, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

خیلی ممنونم. لطف کردید. درخواست انتقالش را دادم. Hanooz 06:32, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2018 is open!

Dear Gnosis,

You are receiving this message because we noticed that you voted in R1 of the 2018 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in the second round. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2018) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked.

In the final (and current) round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2018.

Round 2 will end 17 March 2019, 23:59:59.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 18:04, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Affected:

• File:View from inside of Imam Reza sanctuary.jpg

Map of Iran

Hi Gnosis, I managed ot make a geographic map of Iran here. You can check and let me know if this is OK--Ikonact (talk) 21:22, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you @Ikonact: so far it looks great, very well done! Are you going to have legends added too? --Gnosis (talk) 16:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Added legend and some more info. --Ikonact (talk) 21:11, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

@Ikonact: Excellent. Thank you for everything! --Gnosis (talk) 00:02, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Albert Pierre-René Maignan - Jules Massenet - Ariane.jpg

Just so you know, after you voted (but before anyone else did), I made some small levels tweaks. Sorry about that. It was the roses in the lower left. They were bothering me, and so I tweaked slightly and liked it a lot more. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:30, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: Looks even better now. Thanks for letting me know about that. --Gnosis (talk) 01:37, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Shah of Iran

...There's a lot of evidence the LoC thinks this is out of copyright. But I can't figure out why. I'll try to sort it out tomorrow. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:51, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Sounds great, Thank You so much! --Gnosis (talk) 17:22, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry this is taking so long. I'm just flighty of late. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

@Adam Cuerden: Hello sir, hope you're well. Please don't forget about this. Thank You! --Gnosis (talk) 07:56, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Visit to Iran

Hello Gnosis! regarding this comment of yours I would like to say, that as surely I cannot arrange that in the short term, who knows about the middle or long term. I enjoyed my time in Iran very much and didn't see all places I would have liked to visit (e.g. Qeshm, Tabriz). So, I don't discard getting back. Thinking about it I wonder whether something like this could be also organised in Iran. Take care, --Poco a poco (talk) 14:26, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Mr.دِلسو I hope Wikimedia Foundation give grant funding opportunity for such beneficial programs. Thanks for writing here, it's always great chatting with you. --Gnosis (talk) 07:54, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Reza Pahlavi holding a placard.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Reza Pahlavi holding a placard.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Please make sure that you only upload educational content you have created yourself, those which are out of copyright, or those for which you have the required permission for the work to be used in all the ways described above. Please note that derivative works of copyrighted material are also considered copyrighted.
