Maps Cimbrian / Mocheno

Hello Gryffindor, I saw you reverted the maps that highlighted the distinction between Cimbrian and Mocheno. Can you tell me the reason?--Patavium (talk) 20:30, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello Gryffindor, it is better to have the discussion here. As those maps regard Italian issues, we should discuss them here, so that they can be discussed also in Italian if needed. On Commons this is allowed. It is not on en.wiki. I think we should continue here [1]--Patavium (talk) 19:52, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Dear Mr./Ms. Gryffindor, This message comes to you from an American citizen in Israel. I always admire your gorgeous pictures of New York on the Internet, & I especially like them considering that I snap very similar pictures myself - in New York, elsewhere in the USA, & in Israel. You always seem to take your pictures in superb weather, as do I. My question is: Why do you never give the date each picture was taken? That would be very useful, putting it all into context. Also, don't you take any pictures anymore; i.e., all your pictures seem to be taken in 2010? What's your first name? I would like to say, "keep up the good work", but I guess I can't, since you only took pictures in 2010!

                                               Yours Sincerely,
                                                   Dave Strasburg

Alger 1930.JPG ?

Salut Tmouchentois, merci pour le téléchargement de ces cartes File:Constantine 1930.JPG et File:Oranie 1930.JPG. Avez-vous l'un des Algier ainsi? Gryffindor (talk) 12:36, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Bonjour Gryffindor. Non, je n'ai pas un tel fichier. La revue "L'illustration" de 1930, dans laquelle j'avais scanné ces deux cartes comportait une carte de toute l'Algérie. J'ai pu scanner dans la page de gauche l'Oranie, et dans la page de droite le Constantinois, mais le département d'Alger est dans la pliure. Cordialement. --Tmouchentois (talk) 14:40, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Copyright Status of Pompeo Batoni's The Return of the Prodigal Son

Dear Gryffindor

Please can you tell me if you have taken this photograph? and what the copyright status is? If so I would like to ask your permission to use it.

Your swift response is highly appreciated.

Thank you

Kindest regards

Learning

Feel free to use it, it's in the public domain. Gryffindor (talk) 23:45, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me Gryffindor. But I live in a country where copyright is given to the photo as well. Did you take the photo? if so would you mind to send me an email to say you are happy with me to use it for any purpose?

thank you so much

with kindest regards

Further Clarification Required

Dear Gryffindor

re Pompeo Batoni's The Return of the Prodigal Son

please can you clarify if you took the photograph of the painting and so if it is yours, and if so, please can you give me permission to use it?

Many thanks

I am not quite sure which exact painting you are referring to. Did I just upload it? If it's a two-dimensional image of a painting where the author has died over 100 years ago, it's in the public domain and may be used by anyone without permission. You certainly have my permission if you still need one. Gryffindor (talk) 14:34, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gryffindor thank you. I am referring to Pompeo Batoni's The Return of the Prodigal Son. Did you take the photograph yourself?

  • Gryffindor, I have noticed that the "Vienna" category with its subcategories has being moved twice or more times. It's a regular edit-war there... I don't know, why it's moved without the "requested moves" tab... Moving such important categories have to be done with a special procedure. Somebody should place a template for "requested move" {{Template:Move}} and wait at least 14 days for discussion before moving. If the consensus in the discussion is reached, you can move the files.

tauroctony image listed as Vindobona, Austria

Hello Gryffindor, i'd love to know where the stone tauroctony from Vindobona image is from, did you take this photo of a museum display? If so which museum? Any detail would be appreciated, Thank you

Sorry, please show me the exact link of the image, I am not sure I know which one you are referring to. Thank you. Gryffindor (talk) 12:27, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Image Request

Good Morning

My name is Christina Bolt, I’m a picture researcher writing on behalf of ceramicist and writer, Dr Bonnie Kemske. Bonnie is writing a book on the iconic Japanese teabowl and its travels from East to West, asking the question,

‘Why is the teabowl, which has such a specific historical and contemporary context in Japan, become such an iconic form in the West?’  

She has asked me to help her sort images and sends you her greetings.

We would be interested in using your image of a Tearoom Setting that you have kindly put up here for free use (i have put the link at the bottom of this message) the book is being published with Bloomsbury’s Academic Department however and they would be happier if they could credit you directly rather than Wikipedia. Please can you advise whether you would be happy to send the image to us direct?

We would require a high quality digital file (jpeg or tif) at 300dpi minimum by 9th October 2015 along with signed permission request form.

I look forward to your response and thank you in advance.

Sincerely Christina Bolt

Categories related to Nagoya, Aichi

Bonne soirée. I see that you have made all of the commons categories related to Category:Nagoya, Aichi to be moved to Category:Nagoya. In Japanese "Nagoya" also means 名護屋, which is historically of more importance than 名古屋 of Aichi prefecture. Renaming as such should be discussed beforehand and earn the consensus of Japanese wikimedians. You should better revert these requests immediately or I have to accuse you of vandalism. --トトト (talk) 19:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

You should have followed the right procedure for renaming. See Commons:Rename a category#Types of renames (controversial fixes). The fact that Category:Nagoya, Aichi has been once moved from Category:Nagoya suggests that there have been users who think it is better to be equipped with the disambiguation "in Aichi". And there is no such rules that a commons category name should always be equal to that of an English wikipedia article. Your edits cause confusions more than neatness. Please revert them now. --トトト (talk) 11:34, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Serpentine column in Istanbul

I almost had an heart attack when I saw your picture of the Serpentine column in Istanbul which I know well because I wrote an article and made a drawing of it in 1989. The monument your photograph shows is completely transformed by the stitching : number of spires, height, thickness and so on. It is a shame that, while so many good photographs of this monument exist, you edit such a caricatural representation of this very elegant bronze structure. You should return to more traditional (but more efficient) technique for photography ! — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.243.7.200 (talk) 12:44, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Continuo a non capire questa tua ostinazione

...o meglio, spero non sia legata a un problema di campanile perché allora la tua utenza diventa chiaramente problematica. La tua ostinazione ad usare denominazioni non istituzionali è stata tempo fa più volte messa in discussione da un admin ora non più attivo, tuttavia tu appena passato un po' di tempo ti dai all'allegro rollback senza iniziare alcuna discussione. IMO, pur avendo grosse perplessità, dato l'evidente e indiscusso biliguismo (prevalente) posso anche capire l'esigenza di un "Provincia autonoma di Bolzano/Bozen" e del suo omologo in lingua tedesca (per non parlare di quella in ladino) e posso anche accettare quel Trentino-South Tyrol che comunque è un pugno nello stomaco da qualunque lingua si parta, in ogni caso voler equiparare il Trentino alla Provincia autonoma di Trento è voler mischiare la storia e la geografia politica italiana. Come già fatto notare altrove se in Commons si iniziasse a far proliferare categorie per ragione storica si diventerebbe pazzi, quindi ci sarebbe il "partito di wikimediani" che pretenderebbe la Carnia, l'Istria, forse anche la Corsica, innescando un problema POV e solamente POV lontanissimo dai pilastri su cui si fonda non solo wikipedia ma tutti, e sottolineo tutti, i progetti wikimedia. Ora, pur avendo solo un briciolo di speranza in un dialogo, ti invito a discuterne nel bar italiano, non perché tu possa anche lontanamente pensare sia "di parte" ma perché temo che in un bar generalista in lingua inglese dei "dispettucci localistici" presumo non interessi quasi a nessuno. Comunque sia se non ricevo risposta alcuna ho intenzione di fare tutto ciò che sia possibile per segnalarti come utenza problematica, qui e altrove, perché temo che sia un tentativo di imporre un POV che altrove non sei in grado altrettanto di gestire se non, appunto, rischiando un ban.--Threecharlie (talk) 18:12, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Gryffindor.

May I ask you if it could be possible to have a better image of the tea jar of Ninsei. Because the real colors are much darker than on our photograph. So I can mail you an image with better colors on the same white under the jar, after Adobe Lightroom to be correct. The yellow lines are made of gold ! If you want to use this way my address is : m_moison@sfr.fr.

Thank you for your very good work.

Category names

I noticed that you moved some of the categories for villages in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan:

  • Category:Ie, Okinawa -> Category:Ii, Okinawa
  • Category:Kunigami, Okinawa -> Category:Kunjan, Okinawa
  • Category:Nakijin, Okinawa -> Category:Nachijin, Okinawa
  • Category:Onna, Okinawa -> Category:Unna, Okinawa
  • Category:Tonaki, Okinawa -> Category:Tunachi, Okinawa
  • Category:Yomitan, Okinawa -> Category:Yuntan, Okinawa
  • Category:Ogimi, Okinawa -> Category:Ujimi, Okinawa

You insisted that the categories should be named in Okinawan, the native language. But Okinawan is not treated as an official language in Japan (neithr in Okinawa Prefecture), and in fact the villages are named in Japanese language ([2][3][4][5][6][7][8]). Therefore, I believe the categories should be named in Japanese. I appreciate your understanding. Yasu ([[User talk:Yasu|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 15:00, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Category names for some stations in Nagoya

Hello, I have noticed that you renamed some categories for train stations in Nagoya from Category:XX Station (Aichi) to Category:XX Station (Nagoya).
But in most cases, the categories for other stations with the same names was named as Category:XX Station (Prefecture name), not Category:XX Station (City name), so I think it's necessary to move them back. And also, you did not give any reasons for renaming them.
So I'm going to rename them as Category:XX Station (Aichi).--そらみみ ([[User talk:そらみみ|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 22:28, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I have no objections to your renaming (and I even think that your version is better than my one), but this issue concerns a huge number of categories and must be discussed. Obviously, standartization of such categories would be a good idea. Are there any standards on Commons for such names? What are the reasons of your renaming?

Please consider adding iw-links in a different way here on Commons

Dear Gryffindor,

Thanks for creating new categories here on Commons as you did recently for Category:Hirasawa Kurō. It would be great if you could as well add the interwiki-link to the corresponding page on en-wikipedia in a different way then you did for this category. Indeed by clicking here on commons in the sidebar menu under 'In Wikipedia' on 'Add links' and then putting in the appearing pop-up box the link to the corresponding article on en-wikipedia. This will add a link to commons to all language versions of the corresponding article on en-wikipedia. Moreover this will avoid the corresponding article to be included in the maintenance category en:Category:Commons category template with no category set.

Many thanks if you could consider to do so, indeed this would reduce my efforts on adding these iw links later through patrolling the pages listed on the pre-mentioned category on en-wikipedia. I would like to thank you for all the great work you are realizing on en-wikipedia and here on commons.

If you have any further questions on this do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards Robby ([[User talk:Robby|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:42, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Dear Gryffindor,
I would like to ouline thaht the way you are doing thill now is not 'creating issues' I just suggest to proceed in a different way.
Concerning the category:Hirasawa Kurō I made already the necessara changes as described as described in my previous post on this page. You see the affects best on the the the corresponding element on wikidata. in this case the element Q47455464 was automatically created by adding the interwikilinks by clicking here on commons in the sidebar menu under In Wikipedia' on 'Add links' and then putting in the appearing pop-up box the link to the corresponding article on en-wikipedia.
Concerning the issue on how to link articles and categories I proceeed (except if I wloop somethng) in such away that i always link categories on en-wikipedia to categories on commons. If there i sjust an article on en-wikipedia and if there is a gallerie respectively an article on commons thaen I link both articles and on wikidata I add the property P373 on wikidata the property P373 on wikidata (if you are searching more information on this property the discussion page on P373 on wikidata is a good starting point). If there is just an article on en-wikipedia and a corresponding category on commoons (as it was the case for Hirasawa Kurō I add just the iw-link as previously decribd here on commons and on commons Deltabot is automatically adding the property P373 on the corresponding wikidata element.
I hope these explanations help clarify how I work.
P.S. do not hesitate to reconduct me if I was not comprehensible in my explannations as this is a really complicated and tricky issue.

  • alle Verlinkungen auf die Commonscats aus den einzelnen Artikeln zu den Objekten richtig zu stellen wäre fein
  • auf WD entsprechend nachzuziehen (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q686468), dort heißt es btw. immer noch (engl.) Rathaus in Vienna und die Commons Cat ist falsch eingetragen
  • die Straßen in Wien mit , Vienna zu lassen.
  • Trotzdem wäre es fein, wenn du solche kontroversiellen Verschiebungen vorher per CFD diskutieren würdest.

Ikebana photos

Hi Gryffindor. I'm wondering if you can clear something up about File:2017 Ikenobou Autumn Tanabata Exhibition Souka Hyakki (9).jpg as well as some Ikebana photos you have uploaded. You are the copyright holder of the photographs themselves, but the copyright statuses of the Ikebana pieces you photographed also nees to be taken into account. There's no en:freedom of panorama for 3D works of art in Japan (at least nothing compatible with COM:L) per COM:FOP#Japan, which means in most cases that the permission of the artist who created the work is also needed for Commons to accept/keep the file. It looks like the piece in "File:2017 Ikenobou Autumn Tanabata Exhibition Souka Hyakki (9)" was created by someone named "Katsuko Matsubara" (apologies in advance if I got her name wrong). Assuming this is not you, then Commons most likely Ms. Matsubara's explcit consent that she agree to release her work under a free license is going to need to be OTRS verified to keep the photo. I've asked about this at Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2018/03#File:2017 Ikenobou Autumn Tanabata Exhibition Souka Hyakki (9).jpg and also User talk:Jeff G.#Ikebana photos. Template:U is an OTRS volunteer, so he can probably explain the details better than I. Do you have any way of getting in touch with Ms. Matsubara and explaining what is needed? A suggestion was made to start a COM:DR about these photos, but I figured I see if you can clarify things first. -- Marchjuly ([[User talk:Marchjuly|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 04:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Right, we need permission from the artist for the flower arrangement via OTRS.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 10:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Marchjuly,
Thank you for your message. That is a good question.
For arrangements which are copies of historical pieces, there cannot be a copyright since they are copying classical arrangements on which the copyright of the original inventor/teacher has expired. The example you gave of the Sōka Hyakki pieces is such, the author being Ikenobō Senjō (池坊専定) and the arrangements dating to at least 1820. Therefore there is no copyright on it since it has expired. It would be as if someone today copied an old master like Hiroshige, and then claimed copyright on the work. If a piece is modern and new (Jiyūka 自由花 for example), then I agree copyright would apply. The pictures I have uploaded are all pieces which are classical and traditional and copies of old existing formats. If that logic does still not suffice, you could argue that article 46 applies in this case. Gryffindor ([[User talk:Gryffindor|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:45, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
I’ve moved the your above post you left on my user talk page to this thread just to keep everything in one place.
Thanks for the extra clarification; however, I still think there are some things which need to be resolved. Even if the original piece is in the public domain, the ones you photographed might still be considered derivatives which have their own separate copyright from the original. A simple mechanical reproduction of a PD 2D work of art is generally not considered to have any “creative input” to establish a new copyright, but 3D works of art are treated differently. I don’t believe it can be said that these recreations are simple mechanical reproductions of the original work; therefore, I think there might still be copyright issues involved. As for article 46, I looked at it before posting on your user talk and was unable to find anything which says that works based on PD works are not eligible for copyright protection. I might have just missed it, so could you cite the exact section of 46 you think applies here. If that’s the case, then the files’ pages may need to be updated to include information about the original work and to clarify that what you photographed are non-copyrightable reproductions. — Marchjuly ([[User talk:Marchjuly|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 22:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Use of Quetzalcoatl (mask, turquoise mosaic, Aztec) Image

Hi, I'm new to this site and have a question about the Quetzalcoatl mask image. I would like to use this image, photoshop it as I need, and use it to make a book cover for a fiction novel. Are there any restrictions for the use of this image in a commercial capacity or combined with a verified Adobe Stock photo? Proper attributes will be given on the copyright page of the novel. I just want to make absolutely sure there will not be any problems with this image. Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you!! Template:UnsignedIP2

File:Flag_of_Brittany_(Gwenn_ha_du).svg

I was wondering, when you uploaded this file (I'm presuming you also made it), did you base the look on anything other than the simple description of the flag? That is, did this "modern" look come from a document of any sort, or was it solely your interpretation of the design? Lexicon ([[User talk:Lexicon|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 00:50, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

historic Austrian kkStB railway company

Why move the category to Category:Imperial-Royal State Railways? All other defunct railway companies retained their german language category names. And even in englisch railway literature (well, british – I'm not familiar with American custom) the use of the german names is common. -- Herby (Vienna) ([[User talk:Herbert Ortner|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:47, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Why make category name less clear?

Hello! I am at a loss to understand any reason for an edit like this. She was a princess of Saxe-Lauenburg and queen of Sweden. Why would we want to have that less clear in the name of the category? --SergeWoodzing ([[User talk:SergeWoodzing|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 11:01, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I see now that you are doing quite few similar things. Please stop! These moves/edits are all controversial because they make the category names less informative. They should be discussed first. --SergeWoodzing ([[User talk:SergeWoodzing|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 11:09, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I agree, this is not in the interrest of wikipedia.--Carolus ([[User talk:Carolus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 02:47, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Please do not move a category carelessly

You moved Category:Neighborhoods in Shinjku, Tokyo to Category:Neighborhoods in Shinjuku, but I have reverted it. Please do not move a category just because its parent category's name is Shinjuku. Category:Neighborhoods in Shinjku, Tokyo is in a set of categories in Category:Neighborhoods in Tokyo by ward, with the common suffix , Tokyo, and is already linked in the template {{TokyoNeighborhoods(23wards)}}. Your careless move destroyed the harmony. Next time you do it, I will report it as a vandalism. --トトト ([[User talk:トトト|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 04:02, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

"Japonism"

Was there a CFD before this? It does not strike me as uncontroversial to move a category name from an English word to a French one. Normally, English is the preferred language for category names, no? - Jmabel ! talk 00:43, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
