JFK files

Aloha! I noticed you started to upload the new JFK files. Are you continuing? There are a few more @ [1] . Only a few thousand.... Cheers! --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 00:25, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@Hedwig in Washington: There's way too many for me to upload on my own as the Commons only lets you upload 50 at a time and there's thousands of files to upload, so I put in a batch upload request. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 00:50, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

You can up that to 500 files. Jarekt figured that out:

# go to this stage using Chrome browser

1. open java script console with Ctrl + Shift + J
2. paste "mw.UploadWizard.config.maxUploads = 500;"
3. now if you open an album or a photostream with up to 500 images you can upload them all at once
   — Jarekt

Anywho, thanks for your fast reply! I completely forgot to check the batch upload pages. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 01:24, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@Hedwig in Washington: Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the download links seem to be very slow for me at the moment; I'll try again in a few minutes. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 01:59, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

I guess I will stop since I am upload conflicting with you. Artix Kreiger (talk) 03:50, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger: Keep uploading. I'm only uploading the July release files at the moment so you can go ahead and upload the rest of the October release files instead. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 03:51, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger: Great, problem solved! You still need to keep an eye on the batch upload and let'em know when your done. 6k files is fun. See you next year! Oh, and you have to read every document then add categories and a full description! Just kidding --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 03:59, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

@Hedwig in Washington: The July uploads have all been finished. Now just got to wait on @Artix Kreiger: to finish with the October release batch, if he hasn't already. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 04:49, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Have the November 3 files been uploaded? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 12:23, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Nah. I didn't upload them. I was wondering if you did. Artix Kreiger (talk) 12:35, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

How about I upload November 3 and you upload November 9? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 12:36, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Sure. Dang 13,000 files. Wanna do half and I do half? or actually I will file a bot request for that. Artix Kreiger (talk) 12:49, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Is a bot request usually quick? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 12:55, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

er sorry about that. I had archiver turned on (meant for me) but I accidentely clicked that instead of "edit". And its still in the workds at Commons:Bots/Requests/Artix Kreiger Bot 2 Artix Kreiger (talk) 13:23, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Okay, I'll upload November 3 manually and you can have the bot do the November 9 release. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 13:25, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

November 3 has been completed. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 03:01, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

Question

How did you mass rename the JFK files to "X name (November 3rd release)"? Artix Kreiger (talk) 16:20, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger: Download "Advanced Renamer" here. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 22:24, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Say...

What's the deal with this flag? Are its colours really authentic? In use up 'til 2003? Director (talk) 01:52, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

IIRC, the exact colors of the Italian flag were not specified until 2003. In 2003, the exact shades were specified and those shades were used until 2006, when the colors were again changed to their present shades. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 02:14, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

I understand that, but where'd you get the colours on File:Flag of Italy (1946-2003).svg? Are they based on something, or..?
Are they perhaps, for some reason, the best we can do for the unspecified period? I ask because, if so, I'd like to apply them to the flags of the Kingdom as well. And the Italian Social Republic. Director (talk) 02:33, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Theoretically they could be any shade of green or red since they were unspecified; I picked those colors since they were the ones I found on the very oldest SVG here. You could also try the CIA World Factbook's shades from 2000 here. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 02:38, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi! This well done already. :)--Dim Grits (talk) 21:41, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Not USA

Hi, is it really necessary or helpful to change Wikimedia file names so they follow Wikipedia's WP:NOTUSA article guideline - changing USA to U.S., when US is what the guideline actually suggests for most cases? Using multiple .'s in a file name is not permitted in many file systems, though apparently it's OK in Wikimedia. Unnecessary name changes create mismatches between original copies and the Wikimedia copies. I've uploaded hundreds of files over the years with 'USA' in the file names, and sometimes re-upload new versions of them. If you feel you must or should continue, then please use either 'US' or 'United States' when renaming, rather than U.S. I've started using the full name in my latest uploads. Thanks, Brian W. Schaller (talk) 05:10, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

No need to worry, moving the file creates a redirect that redirects the old filename to the new one as if it were never moved at all. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 05:17, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Ink Spots

Hello. (new to wikis, sorry if this is the wrong place to post such messages).

You've uploaded a recording of "If I Didn't Care" by The Ink Spots to wikimedia -- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:If_I_Didn%27t_Care_(1939),_by_The_Ink_Spots.oga It is stated on the file's page that this recording is in public domain since the copyright holder failed to renew the copyright. However, UMG lists this song on their website and says that it is distributed by them. Have you conducted research about the copyright status of the recording? I would like to use this recording in a project of mine, but it must have no copyright issues. I would be very grateful if you could tell me how to reproduce your research and determine whether this recording is indeed in the public domain. ~ Maknvl (talk) 16:52, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm probably the wrong person to ask. You're better off asking somebody more knowledgeable in this stuff. Here's the U.S. Copyright Office records which can be searched. For what it's worth, the Ink Spots stuff on YouTube haven't been taken down for copyright as far as I know like other more recent songs have. Not the end all be all, but it's something. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 04:57, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

File tagging File:MattShirk.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:MattShirk.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:MattShirk.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Blocked

I've blocked your account for two weeks. You've been warned many times to not upload content which violates copyright, and what our standards are. File:Patch of the California State University Police.png is a bad faith attempt to avoid Commons:Deletion requests/File:Patch of the California State University Police.jpg. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 05:01, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Unblock request granted This blocked user asked to be unblocked, and one or more administrators has reviewed and granted this request. Request reason: "How is it an attempt to avoid? I added a link to the PNG version on the page of the JPG version, out of good faith. I wouldn't have done that if I was attempting to be sneaky, or in your words, "avoid" a DR in bad faith. Now, as for the block summary, it says I added files without sourcing and was warned over this. As for the first allegation, uploading without source, I was never formally warned about it, but I did go back and in good faith, added sources to any files that were missing them when it was pointed out to me that they were missing a source. The vast majority of these files are in the public domain anyway. As for the second allegation, warnings, I don't recall ever getting one from you or anyone else regarding this matter in this year, or even one in all of last year, making the second reason erroneous and completely false, not to mention premature and unnecessary. Since I did not get any warnings over this (just check my talk page history and archive), all of this makes this block completely out of the blue. The pertinent Wikimedia Commons guidelines regarding this, Commons:BLOCK, states that "Clear explanations and warnings about Commons policy should be engaged in before [...] blocking a user for license problems." Neither warnings nor a discussion about the matter have occurred in the case of this block, which makes it completely premature, out of the blue, and in violation of the pertinent Commons guidelines. Again, just go back and check my talk page history and archive and you'll see no warnings were given to me about this matter in the immediate past. Since there was no warning ever given in the immediate run up to, and case of, this block, it is unnecessary and uncalled for. If you were worried about my behavior regarding this, you could've have come and talked to me in my talk page and I would've tried to address your concerns the best I could instead of jumping the gun and immediately going to a block. You did not even give me one warning about this either, whether in this year or even in all of last year. Therefore, the right thing to do in this case would be to unblock me immediately as I have work to contribute. Regards, – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 05:43, 6 April 2018 (UTC)" Unblock reason: "Upon further reflection, I handled this quite poorly, and I am very sorry. I was much too quick to block. I still believe you should take more care, but I will also take more care in the future to assume good faith and get a second opinion. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:40, 12 April 2018 (UTC)" This template should be archived normally.

(Block log) (unblock) (Change local status for a global block) (contribs)

You know, if you could admit any wrongdoing, I might unblock you. But you can't; it's all lawyering and deflection. Textbook w:WP:GAB issues.

When I blocked your account, I looked over your talk page history, and I found two separate DRs over the subject on just the first page. That makes three times, including my own DR. Administrators are not stupid; they can read that history too, and no one will unblock you if you continue to maintain otherwise. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 22:54, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

Dutch anthem

Hello, as you might know it's Kingsday today in the Netherlands. I went to the English Wikipedia and listened to the anthem by the US navy band, noticing that it was played much too fast. On the file page I found out that there is a version with the correct (or in any case much better, this one) tempo, but as attempted to revert to this version, it seems it doesn't alter the tempo. I come to you because you made a .wav file out of the original file that is used on the English Wikipedia? Could you perhaps modify or reupload the .wav / .ogg file so that it has the correct tempo? I assure you it is no joke, a quick youtube search will show that it really is too fast. Thank you very much in advance! IJzerhouwer (talk) 18:49, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Tempo sounds fine to me. Either way, Commons frowns upon artificially changing music file tempos. We'd have to find and upload one that is performed at the tempo you desire. As for the revert not working, you probably have to clear your cache and purge the page before listening. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 19:28, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

NIST 911

Hi, I'm taking a look at Commons:Batch_uploading#NIST_FOIA_9/11_videos, thinking about testing out a generic upload. However the copyright looks dubious to me. On Youtube the standard YT license applies and though there is a reference to the "crowdsourced" website 911datasets.org, it is unclear why the files uploaded there are credibly public domain.

Could you explain why you think we can be confident about releasing these as PD on Commons? Thanks --Fæ (talk) 16:10, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

File moving guidelines

Please review the file renaming guidelines before moving any more files. In particular, changing hyphens to dashes is rather useless and can actually make file usage more difficult. The hyphen is on most keyboards, while the em- and en-dashes are not. "Files should NOT be renamed only because the new name looks a bit better."

There can also be some technical problems caused by renaming files, as noted at the Village Pump. Guanaco (talk) 06:33, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello I ask to you, ¿why do you change the hypens (-) for dashes (–)? It makes very difficult to use the files, mostly because no keyboard has that typography.

Hi, We don't create categories with "Photographs of" on Commons.

We need to come to an agreement on whether dates for file names should use an endash or emdash. Right now there is a lack of uniformity and we have both taken our own paths.

Current state of Union of South African flag

I do not think the current purple(!?) colours should be used compared to the previous dark blue version. The CMYK values given are even incorrect as the values for "solway blue" produces a bright green instead of a blue! Further, they look very different to how the flag is depicted anywhere else... Including the example image given above the CMYK values by the south african vexillogical institute itself!! That example, by the way, also closely matches the previous and common depicition. http://www.savaflags.org.za/spec/South%20Africa%20-%20National%201928-1994%20-%20sheet%201.pdf I thnk the dark blue, normal colours should be restored instead of this unusual purple. If the recommended (not official) CMYK values were to be followed, it should also be green not blue, according to the current source.

Hi, I saw u changed the name of the Nazi German flag which is fine, but hundreds of uses of it across the wiki is now errors! Is this just because this is a new change that is not fully updated everywhere? Because where it says Flag of German Reich (1935-1945).svg (without flagicon etc) its an error instead.

Taking care with transfers

Good evening.

When making transfers from Wikipedia, could you please take care to clean up the upload data? The default text by the bots is often insufficient.

For example, this image,

• Its description is actually the source.
• Is not "own work by original uploader".
• Original upload date is irrelevant.
• It is not PD-US-no notice.
• The page has no categories, nor is it even marked as uncategorized.

Former flag of Iran

Dear Illegitimate Barrister, recently you moved "File:Flag of Iran with standardized lion and sun.svg" to "File:State flag of Iran (1964-1980).svg". In my opinion, the new file name is misleading. The modern drawing of lion and sun just used in the late 1970's. Unfortunately, the timing of standardization of flag of Iran in wikipedia is not correct and in 1964 there was no change in this flag. This misleading information comes from here. In this website, it is mentioned "From the chronology, the change from 1:3 to 4:7 proportions most probably occurred ca. 1964". However, according to the Iranian governmental regulations, the ratio of flag of Iran was determined 2:3 in 1935 and 4:7 in 1958. Unfortunately, this mistake is also seen in the flagicon and flagcountry template of Iran and I do not know how to correct these templates.

Edit Summary

When editing a page on Commons there is a small field labeled "Edit Summary" or "Summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

int:summary

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the Edit Summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the Edit Summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's name in the Edit Summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.  — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 18:06, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
