Your suggestion

Re Malin. This person is a chronic uploader of junk. See Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Uploads by Matlin/temp. He does not have a user page on the Commons and I don't know how to "communicate" with him in Polish. He has been blocked a couple of times for this, but my recent nominations from December 14 show that since his recent block expired nothing has changed. These are a tiny, tiny portion of his junky uploads, since the Commons as a high tolerance for junk. As someone said regarding his junk: "Drinking from the Flickr firehose gives us a lot of COM:FREE content, but I'm not seeing COM:SCOPE". If you go through the "uncategorized" dates, those that still have thousands remaining without categories contain large numbers of Matlin's uploads (as well a those of some other uploaders with the same tendencies). It's quite depressing and I'm sick of it and getting sick of junk. I just like looking at photographs of different places. (I hear it is cold in Seattle.) Krok6kola (talk) 18:56, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

  • You suggested that I speak to User:Matlin. (A.Savin blocked them for one month on January 5, 2022.) How do you speak to some in Polish? I've managed to add some images to articles in the Polish Wikipedia but that is about it. Matlin can only be contacted through email, according to his Polish page. Krok6kola (talk) 23:20, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
    @Krok6kola: If there is no common language, then my best suggestion is Google Translate (then copy-paste). Mention, of course, that you are using machine translation. I'd send email with both the English and the machine translation. pl:Wikiskryba:Matlin does say he knows "basic" English and (if it's useful to you) a bit more German. - Jmabel ! talk 23:24, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
    I think he/she (probably a he) is addicted, as we all are here. The sad part is just before he was blocked he/she was starting to actually add some categories. I don't think language is the way to go with this person. Krok6kola (talk) 23:40, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

The photographs did rise and fall together, as you predicted! Krok6kola (talk) 21:27, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

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

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.

Question

Hi Jmabel. You had helped me a while back (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Carrie-Hope-Fletcher.jpg#File%3ACarrie-Hope-Fletcher.jpg) and I wasn't sure where to ask this question, so I hope you don't mind me asking you. I've developed a general interest in intellectual property the last couple years, and I recently took some coursework on copyright. I'm the odd sort of person who finds copyright a bit fun, I suppose, and I was wondering to what extent there is a need for people semi-knowledgeable in that area on this site. Assuming so, do you have any recommendations on how to get started, both in learning my way around and in terms of what needs doing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrueNeutral879 (talk • contribs) 14:32, 12 January 2022‎ (UTC)

Governors Island Ferry Dock 05 (9440765547)

I apologize. I thought New York Water Taxi was technically considered a ferry. ----DanTD (talk) 16:06, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

  • @DanTD: If it is, then feel free to add that. (I wouldn't call a tour boat a ferry, but whatever.) But certainly don't remove the category that indicates that it shows a ferry (rather than an empty terminal). Certainly what the picture shows is more important than what sort of boat I was on when I took it, and shouldn't be dropped. - Jmabel ! talk 16:08, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Save the date: Commons Photographers meeting next week

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)

Modification of Template:PD-VenezuelaGov

Hello, I want to talk to you about the modification of the template Template:PD-VenezuelaGov that mentions the public domain license for Venezuela.

Recently in 2012, the government decreed a law that releases to the public domain all the graphic material that is made by any of the government institutions.

The law in question is the Ley Orgánica del Trabajo, los Trabajadores y las Trabajadoras (Labor Law in English), decreed in May 7, 2012. In which article no. 325 decrees (in Spanish):

La producción intelectual generada bajo relación de trabajo en el sector público, o financiada a través de fondos públicos que origine derechos de propiedad intelectual, se considerará del dominio público, manteniéndose los derechos al reconocimiento público del autor o autora.

Translated into English would be:

The intellectual production generated under an employment relationship in the public sector, or financed through public funds that originates intellectual property rights, will be considered to be in the public domain, maintaining the rights to public recognition of the author.

Can be modify this template to add this law?


-- Wguayana (talk) 20:01, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

  • @Wguayana: I have no problem with that happening; the template already pretty crowded, though, and rewording it to add this major case may be complicated.
  • Also, I think that very literal translation is a bit clumsy. Still, I guess we need to stay more-or-less literal, rather than just explain the concept. What about a slight rewording to:

Intellectual product generated under an employment relationship in the public sector—or financed through public funds—that generates intellectual property rights, will be considered to be in the public domain, while maintaining the authors' rights to public recognition.

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,

VGrigas (WMF) (talk) 17:45, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

  1. @VGrigas (WMF): I don't think this is more for admins to decide than anyone else. Issue should be brought to the Village Pump.
  2. I'm going to make a strong guess that you'll need the explicit permission of each individual who has submitted the sound logo before you do this with their submission. Otherwise, you are violating their license. - Jmabel ! talk 17:50, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

This Sunday!

Hi, this is just a quick reminder: the next virtual meeting of our user group is scheduled for Sunday, June 19, 16:00 UTC. Topics are: “Photography in Nigeria”, “Photographing Vehicles”, “Wildlife photography and citizen science”, and “I started printing my images – here’s what I've learned so far…”. I'm thrilled about this great agenda and I'm looking forward to connecting with you again. Stay safe and all the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:08, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Quick update on behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I hope you're well and enjoy taking photos for Wikimedia Commons. Here are a couple of quick updates on behalf of our group:

  • Our next virtual meeting will take place on Saturday, August 27. At this point we have two presentations lined up:
  • Suitable! Unsuitable! How to choose photos for a Wikipedia for children, “Klexikon (Ziko)
  • The aperture and its (less known) effects (XRay)
You can sign up for the event on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 27, 2022. – Given that we can accommodate more speakers, I'll invite you to get in touch with me in case you'd like to present on the 27th. You can reach me any time on my talk page or by sending a quick email.
  • 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!
  • And finally, we're planning on offering a Post-processing Workshop on October 8. Please save the date; an events page with more information will go up later.

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)

Out of scope posts by newbies on Helpdesk

Hi, I think it is not necessary to answer to out of scope posts by newbies on Helpdesk. I deleted or reverted all edits by this user, and warned them about the scope of Commons. Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:15, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

You're invited to provide input…

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)

en:User talk:Jmabel The Leon Lynch image uploaded simply needs editing in the copyright data and photo caption. According to the United Steelworkers representative, the copyright belongs to: United Steelworkers archive. There should not be an individual photographer listed. Also, the Steelworkers state the image was taken circa 1990 not 1996. Any credit for the image should be courtesy of the United Steelworkers archive.

Not sure what happened to the copy of the image that Tony Montana of the USW said he uploaded. I never saw it in the Wikimedia Commons database. Just glad the source details behind the image I shared, which is the same image Tony said he shared, will be corrected. Thank you. [unsigned]

  1. @STTLynch: You can edit it accordingly exactly as easily as I can.
  2. As far as I can see, we still don't have a clear permission for the image from the copyright holder. I don't have access to VRT tickets. As I said, if you believe there is already a ticket on this, bring that matter to Commons:Volunteer Response Team/Noticeboard. If there is no ticket, then the copyright holder needs to go through the process described at COM:VRT. - Jmabel ! talk 14:17, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Online workshop this weekend

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.

Maybe revdel-worthy?

You reverted Special:Diff/698124563 and Special:Diff/698124336. I wonder if it might be worth hiding the edit summaries as purely disruptive material, since they're in no way germane to the edits and the second one is at least a little bit transphobic. --bjh21 (talk) 13:04, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Child pornography

Hello.

I'm concerned that this image at commons is child pornography. Not only because the minor's glute is very visible, but the Flickr account from which the image was uploaded - and that I will not make a link to (it can be accessed from the photo's description) - is filled with nude photos of minors and inappropriate comments below the images. Governor Sheng (talk) 02:53, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Taken on template

Thank you for bringing to my attention that my bot (BadzilBot was doing unnecessary edits. As mentioned on the Commons pump this wasn't intended and will not continue in the future. It would have been nice to have been made aware directly of this issue with a message on my talk page or a ping on the Commons pump thread. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 13:31, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Question from the CPUG Board

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.

…about this. I should have been more useful in this discussion. -- Tuválkin 04:25, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Apology accepted.
As you can imagine, it did not help me in keeping track of the issues at hand. Neither of you was pointing to a technical issue, you were both arguing vexillology and throwing insults at each other. I figured I was keeping matters on track by trying to bring it back to the vexillology. But as an admin, I probably should have been thinking ahead to the tech side of what the move would mean. If I've screwed up, then I've screwed up, and there is nothing in particular I can do about it now. - Jmabel ! talk 04:30, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
