Hallo Kristbaum, wie kommst du dazu die Akten-Nummer zu ändern? Das Gebäude ist übrigens mittlerweile gar kein Baudenkmal mehr. Grüße --Rufus46 (talk) 07:02, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Sorry Rufus, da habe ich mich wohl getäuscht, danke für die Reperatur, und entschuldige die späte Reaktion. Vielen Dank auch allgemein für deine guten Bilder aus der Region! Kristbaum (talk) 12:08, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

In relation to 3D objects, and constructables in general...

Hi, I like the 3D support, but I had a related idea I wanted to run by you.

In extending efforts to add 3D content, would it be possible to provide a way for lower-poly 3D to be 'unfolded'?

Before the Internet, I made up a LOT of paper and card based models, which were more widely available for things such as buildings, ships and artefacts than I am finding currently.

I'd very much like to see "constructables" added to Wikimedia hosted resources, based on uploaded STL files where possible.

From a technical standpoint the creation of a printable 'paper model' isn't that different from doing a specfic kind of UV unwrap, and if it is proposed to allow 3D objects to have 'textures' the texture maps could also form part of or the basis of a paper model.

Also, although not strictly 3D related, I'd also like to an effort made to determine if there are various forms of "constructable" resources supporting educational use that should be encouraged, or the creation undertaken in specfic workshops. The aim of these constructable resources would be to move resource use beyond a computer terminal or mobile phone, and for visual aid use :).

My list of examples (not exhaustive) was:-

• Printable Globes, based on available mapping. (This is not just Terrestrial ones, for example I was looking for a constructable star globe the other day, and was not finding them, and given the availablity of sutiable imaging, non-terrestrial worlds could also be mapped.)

• paper models of out of copyright or ancient buildings. ( In the 1980's paper models of prominent architecuture was not uncommon, and I can recall making up a lot of them :) )

• Map and counter/figure "constructables" of historical tactical or strategic situations. This has overlaps with "tabletop-gaming"

• Paper villages or environments of various eras or situations. ( Some more specifc examples would be a "Main Street" model, for use in road safety education, a "model" farm,

• Toy Theatres. - Are there out of copyright comedies, or light drama hosted on Wikisoruce that suitable scenery and wardrobe could be drawn for?

• • I'm also wondering if there is scope for their to be a 'constructable' set design tool for student and amateur productions.

• Paper dolls. The thinkign here would be to have constructable 'paper dolls' . In my experience in the 1980's a number of heratige sites in England sold paper dolls of medieval knights , 18th century ladies fashion, 1940's outfits amongst others.

• Dolls clothing - The aim here would be to support 'fashion' and 'costume' related resources. "Pioneer Barbie" is probably already a thing but there are countless eras that could be considered. The resources to be created would essentially be constructable patterns. It would also with something like this be possible to use scaled versions of old pattern books, to create 3D representations of fashions and costume seen in old illustrations.

I'd be very interested in seeing some kind of Wikimedia "constructables" or "maker-space" Workshop happening at some future date ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

That's a very interesting suggestion! Do you know of any software that is available already that could do such a thing? Convert a STL to a flat representation? I think your idea with using the textures could work as well, but that probably differs a lot between different textured file formats.

I found this page which actually converts to paper representation, maybe this is similar to your idea? Kristbaum (talk) 09:58, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't have specific "free software" examples. UV unwrapping/unseaming is something that can be done manually in blender I think.

There maybe plugins for other CAD tools.

The link you gave is indeed an unfolder, but it needs registration :( ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:13, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Some more examples of constructables:-

• Packaging design: - Simple and slightly more complex packaging 'nets'.
• Sheet metal designs - These are sometimes prototyped in card/paper first.
• Dolls houses - I've seen paper model ones, but also more detailed plans for timber constructed ones. If such plans were created as free resources it would be to support architecture, construction articles. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Your opinion about OpenRefine and its Wikimedia Commons features: two (!) surveys

Hi! You have recently tried/used Wikimedia Commons features in OpenRefine (uploading files, or editing existing files). I'm curious to hear how this has gone, also if you only briefly tried these features.

To help the OpenRefine team with future improvements, it would be immensely helpful if you would be willing to spend a bit of time filling in two surveys. (Yes, two! Each of them uses a different method and (open source) platform).

1. A first, classical, survey (fully anonymous) where you can tell us how you use the Commons features in OpenRefine, and how you (want to) learn to use them better;
2. A second, more experimental survey (also fully anonymous) in which you prioritize the features that matter most to you. This second survey is a bit strange in that you can 'just keep clicking'. Feel free to use it as long or as briefly as you want; you can stop any time. Please also add your own suggestions!

Many thanks! With kind regards, SFauconnier (talk) 18:24, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
