Hi

We are the current owners of Strathmore at 74 Falls Road, Wentworth Falls. We have some more recent photos of the front if the house that we could send you, to replace the ones you have posted if you are interested.

Regards

Hi Kate! I'm not sure why you've come to me about this. If I understand correctly, this is about the house shown in File:(1)Strathmore Wentworth Falls-3.jpg, File:(1)Strathmore Wentworth Falls-1.jpg, File:(1)Strathmore Wentworth Falls-2.jpg and File:(1)Strathmore Wentworth Falls.jpg. As far as I know, I've never participated in any discussions on this topic before. That said, you're of course as welcome as anybody to contribute to Commons. Please have a look at Commons:First steps. Thanks, —LX (talk, contribs) 18:40, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

The user files deletion

Hi LX,

I found out that there is a mistake in the query, I anticipated only 1 category on all of these files but that filter did not work thus a lot (40-50%) have another category besides the user page images category. Some of these might still be out of scope (due to unused user logo), but they are a bit more tricky. I'm sorry for the mistake on that, and of course willing to (help) clean that up. Basvb (talk) 19:56, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Basvb! No worries. I'll wait for you to see if you can get that sorted before moving on with any additional batches. I was planning on letting the first nomination run its course first anyway. As for the ongoing discussion, I think most of the files are still solid candidates for deletion. The main criterion is that they're not used on any pages, and lack of categorisation is secondary. Generally, files that are actually useful illustrations for a real content category shouldn't be tagged with {{user page image}}. Since those images seem to be a very small minority, we can just identify and strike them, as I did with File:Viivoja2.JPG. Cheers, —LX (talk, contribs) 20:08, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

this query shows the number of cats, it seems however that hidden cats are also counted, all of the images have several hidden cats and a lot are still out of scope even with a valid other category (categories such as user logos, english wikipedia, etc.). Basvb (talk) 20:31, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

I Need Help

It's my page and I can do what I want. (signatures) I was doing that because I seriously need help. I need someone who can send a message to Wikipedia admin Jezebel's Ponyo about WikiEditor905 would like to have a chat. Also, asking him/her to come talk to me on my disscusion on Wikimedia page. I need someone else to do this because I can't do anything on Wikipedia now. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ponyo) (WikiEditor905 (talk) 04:40, 6 February 2016 (UTC))

No, you may not do what you want. You may not move your user talk page into the main gallery talk namespace, and you may not distort other people's comments or signatures. And you may not bring disruptions from other projects to Commons. You are clearly not here to contribute constructively to this project, so please go away. —LX (talk, contribs) 08:51, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

I am not trying to be rude or mean here but I think some admins from any Wikipedia or Wikimedia are rude. Some edits I get but they do not have respect for other users edits. Admins think it is always about. No one wants to help me. The Wiki community are just meanie beanies. I cannot believe I was stupid enough to start editing on Wikipedia. I will just stick to the normal wiki. Whatever admins did to me made feel like crying or killing mnyself. (WikiEditor905 (talk) 04:40, 6 February 2016 (UTC))

Again, you are clearly not here to participate constructively to this project. I asked you to go away. Since it seems like you need help going away, I requested it. Bye, —LX (talk, contribs) 21:21, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Copyright

Just as a 'note' that you might find interesting, when we say things like 'granting a work into the public domain', or 'Creative Commons licenses are not revocable', we are not, in a very technical sense, telling the literal truth. I submit, for your (probably appalled) consideration, 17 USC 203. Not that telling people that you have a five year window to terminate your license grants, 30 years from when you made them, is particularly useful or helpful to us or them, lol. What's more, it's actually highly disputed, even under US law (which does not disallow an author from giving up their rights) if literally 'giving up a work into the public domain' has any legal meaning at all. Like John Bergmayer says, "The law doesn't say anything about how an author might renounce her rights. It is certainly possible that a court, if faced with a dispute about this, would find that there is some "inherent" right to give up your copyright. One no doubt arising out of centuries of the common law. But there's nothing in the statute that mentions the possibility."[1] (other lawyers have made the same point)

This isn't me telling you are wrong about anything, not at all. Just some interesting technicalities. Revent (talk) 22:54, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Sigh, if only legislators knew to stay out of things they obviously aren't competent to do, like legislating.

Hi, would you help me?

Dear LX, how are you doing?, I have just uploaded a file in WC: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:De_castas_y_mala_raza-_Claudia_Coca.jpg

It´s not my own work but I have the permission of the author to publish it under Creative Commons license. Could you please tell me if I have uploaded in he right way? I would really appreciate if you could help me in this affair. Regards from Peru. Yhhue91 (talk) 19:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Yhhue91! There are many Creative Commons licenses, and only some of them are appropriate for Commons. Did the author specifically mention the Creative Commons Attribution license (as opposed to, for example, Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial)? Also, when it comes to permissions from others, you need to follow the process described as Commons:OTRS to submit evidence of the permission. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:19, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Dear LX, many thanks for your response. I have a written authorization of the copyright holder for a CC-BY-SA license and I have just sent it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and they sent me a ticket number, so I guess I'm on the right path? Cheers! 15:52, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Hopefully, yes. I've edited the file description to correct the license according to what you've stated here and to note that verification of the permission is pending. —LX (talk, contribs) 18:31, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Categories, Unwanted images

Hello, and firstly thanks for your response on the Help Desk that I left earlier this week. It helped out find images much faster. I have a couple of questions left to ask, though. Firstly, is there any categories that you can place on an uncategorized image? Like any general categories that all images should have? (Or basically any popular categories you can think of) Secondly, what do I do when you see an unwanted image that needs to be deleted? For example, I found this image that has no categories (since 2013), no related article (there isn't a "Kohinoor Begum" page on EN wiki, and a quick google search doesn't seem to indicate there's an article of that name anywhere), and I can't think of any way to use it. What do you think of this image? Electrico96 (talk) 18:08, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi again Electrico96! I'm glad you found my response at the help desk useful.

As for your first question, I'd say Commons:Categories#Categorization tips has a pretty good coverage of the sort of aspects that categories should cover.

As for your second question, if you find a file that you think should be deleted, you can find a link to start a deletion discussion for the current page or file on the left-hand side of the page under "Tools". For files that meet our criteria for speedy deletion, you can add an appropriate speedy deletion tag to the file page and notify the uploader. You may wish to enable the "Quick Delete" gadget in your preferences to make this easier.

The image you bring up as an example (and the other files uploaded by the same user) not only appears to be outside of Commons' project scope, but there is no evidence to support the uploader's claims that the copyright holder has approved publication under the stated license. —LX (talk, contribs) 18:52, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Category:Embassies in Montenegro

I agree that categories should be as specific as possible. However, the "buildings by function" categories are for more general categories than "embassies". I did find some other government buildings categories for Montenegro, so I made a category for them and put that in the "by function" category. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:07, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm not a fan of putting content in even more generic categories just because a more specific intermediate category is missing. The thing that embassy buildings have in common is their function (as opposed to their shape or condition). But creating the intermediate category is of course the best solution. Cheers and have a great weekend, —LX (talk, contribs) 16:12, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

meaningful categories

[2] Dude, I'm no expert. I'm just trying to get them out of uncats, and maybe come back later. Thanks for what you done, though. Hope it wasn't too annoying.   :-)
99.234.209.208 08:39, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi! No, it wasn't annoying, but if you can, please try to use a little more specific categories. Most high-level topics have subcategories for most countries, and in many cases, there are much more specific categories than that. Having lots of files in very generic categories is only marginally better than having them completely uncategorised. Using more specific categories greatly increases the chances that files can be found by the people who are looking for them. Just using the slightly more specific Category:Hotels in Poland would have been a big improvement in this case. Cheers, —LX (talk, contribs) 15:40, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I suppose I could make better use of Google translate and like. I'm going through my old edits, adding cats, and next time around, put them in the more specific categories. Will consider and increasingly act on your suggestion.   :-)99.234.209.208 02:51, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Please follow the procedure describe at Commons:OTRS. Do not attempt to recreate previously deleted files on your own. Doing so may lead to your account being blocked. Also, do note that owning a copy of an image or having a license to use an image usually does not mean that you have the right to issue any sort of copyright license for the image to anyone else. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:09, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Generally when I upload images....

It takes me so much time, even using the uploader, to pick a name for each image file, to write a description of the image, the time of the image, copyright notices, and so forth. Then, for each image, I am supposed to choose categories. This is something I am not good at and am unlikely to get good at. For me, to have to wade through tons of categories (which change regularly) to try to select the perfect categories for each one would be exhausting. Let me do what I'm good at -- uploading images -- and let others do what they're good at -- choosing categories -- that way, it's much better all around. There are contributors such as yourself who know that categories such as sand and hotels are inappropriate and that walking persons is a better one. So, kudos to you, but please don't expect too much from me in terms of categorization.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:35, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

The problem is that we already have more than 750,000 completely uncategorised files, and we probably have an even greater number of files in overly generic top-level categories that aren't going to help anyone find them. There simply aren't enough volunteers to handle these volumes. Unless uploaders take a few minutes to pick relevant categories, the chances of the files ever ending up in categories where they're actually likely to be found are slim to none. It doesn't take many clicks to find your way from an overly generic top level category like Category:Hotels via Category:Hotels by country→Category:Hotels in the United States→Category:Hotels in the United States by state→Category:Hotels in New Jersey to Category:Hotels in Cape May County, New Jersey – and there's nothing special about me that enabled me to find it. It's just that I made the effort, just like anyone else could. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:34, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Generally, each contributor chooses how he or she will contribute here. I've chosen to upload images. You've chosen to categorize them better. Yes there are many uncategorized images or ones with generic categories, but it is always possible that in future new volunteers will come along to categorize them better. You, asking me to do what you do best, is kind of like me, asking you to upload more images. Do you see what I'm getting at here? Let's all do what we do best. Further, it is possible that in the future, new bots or programs will come along that will re-categorize images automatically, so no, I'm not too thrilled about the idea of spending even more time on each image trying to get the exact categories down.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 20:05, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes, we're all volunteers here, but if you could take just a few seconds to drill down from the top-level categories that you're currently using, that would be very, very helpful and increases the likelihood of your uploads being found. That's all I'm saying. After all, you're in a better position than anyone else to know what it is you've photographed and where. But if you don't want to be that helpful and don't care about your photos being found, that is, as you say, entirely up to you. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:18, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

No source tags

Hi, please stop removing 'no source' tags from DWs of unsourced base maps, unless you can provide a source for the base maps which shows that they are free. You are causing unnecessary work, leading to nothing. Jcb (talk) 21:11, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that you had simply not read or understood the authorship assertions in Swedish. To me, your edits just looked like blind tagging of files that just had its source information somewhere other than the source field, especially since you skipped over all the other files in Category:Election maps of India attributed to User:Soman, where the only difference seems to be that File:Rjdelectionmap.PNG and File:Rldelectionmap.PNG had an empty source field because the source information was in the description field instead.

I would argue that these files do have source information, and that if you think that the source information provided is not credible, a deletion discussion would be more appropriate. Similarly, if there is source information, but you think that it is not sufficient for some reason, a deletion discussion would be a much clearer way to raise that concern than to erroneously tag the file as having no source information, which is just likely to cause confusion. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:41, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

No, this is exactly what the tag is for. "This media file is missing essential source information." is exactly what's wrong with these files. The choice of these two files may seem a bit random, the cause is that I an going through files alfabetically. Jcb (talk) 21:51, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

File:Aiadmkelectionmap.PNG comes before both those files alphabetically, and all the files I've seen you tag lately were ones that had blank source fields, so it still seems to me like that was the sole criterion. Anyway, I can only explain what my reasoning was, and I think you're likely to confuse others the same way if you keep tagging files with source information as missing source information because you suspect that they are derivatives of some undisclosed original work. —LX (talk, contribs) 22:04, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

I would love your thoughts on how to search by metadata

Hello LX, The search team at the foundation is looking to add the ability to search by metadata. Whatamidoing/Sherry said you might be interested. If you are and have a moment I'd love to hear your thoughts. CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 17:35, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Chris! Thanks for asking, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've been busy and haven't really been around here. I'm guessing my name came up after the comments I made in Special:Diff/203134998, where I mentioned searching metadata, by file type, by file size and (where applicable) dimensions as useful features for identifying bad uploads.

When I mentioned metadata (separately from file properties such as type, size and dimensions), I mainly meant EXIF, IPTC etc. It looks like the Phabricator entry and the help text is only really concerned with file properties, not actual metadata.

An example use case would be for a search to match the "REUTERS" value in the Iptc.Application2.Credit (0x006e) tag in File:Chloé Sauvourel JO 2016.jpg (displayed as "Credit/Provider" in the Metadata section of the file description here on Commons). I currently search for such files using Google, but there are a lot of false positives, and I'm guessing I also miss a lot. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:49, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

All recently created photographs are automatically protected by copyright upon creation. If you don't know "what license to put", it's probably because the photo hasn't been published under any free license by the copyright holder. Please understand that you cannot just grab photos from the Internet and make up some random licensing claim.

You need to figure out who the legitimate copyright holder. Then you need to get them to agree to publish it under a free license and send in a release statement. It's not up to you to select a license. —LX (talk, contribs) 08:59, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

If a valid permission is sent in to OTRS from the right person (I wasn't able to figure out who the photographer is, so I'm a bit surprised if you did), then the OTRS volunteers will ensure that the file is restored. Do not upload it again. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:44, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

The permission has to be for publication under a free license (a license that allows anyone to use, modify and distribute the photo for any purpose, including commercial purposes). Using the standard template at Commons:OTRS will help you get the details right. —LX (talk, contribs) 14:16, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Please. This is correct? Delete if not correct. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peter_Sagan_-_%22Road_World_Champion_2016%22.png --Alpha 09 (talk) 23:40, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

You need to stop reuploading previously deleted content immediately. You've been warned not to do this. You need to use Commons:Undeletion requests instead of just unilaterally restoring things, especially when you do not, by your own admission, do not understand how copyright works. —LX (talk, contribs) 08:59, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

I have sent this. Dear Madam, I am a contributor in the Spanish version of Wikipedia (http://es.wikipedia.org) and we are looking for images for [3]. Currently, we do not have free images for the following article:

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Sagan

If I may, I wanted to ask if it would be possible for you to change the license of some of your images to CC-BY-SA 3.0 (Equal Share Recognition). This would allow use on Wikipedia (implying that such images could be used for commercial use, although the main purpose of these is to illustrate articles). Of course, you would be mentioned as the original author, with a link to your page at [4], subject to the license chosen. We are interested in this particular picture:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BLonOL-Bzdo/

We would be very grateful for your contribution, which would allow us to enrich the encyclopedia, which can be accessed by anyone who wishes.

As long as the photographer is willing to fill that out, that should be fine. Of course, many professional photographers will not agree to give away their works in ways that allow others to use it commercially, and that's entirely up to her in this case as well. Good luck! —LX (talk, contribs) 17:06, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi. In Wikipedia Cycling there are very few photos. I know why. Nobody does 3500 km by motorcycle to give free pictures. I have found photos that read: "For editorial use only" (The images and pictures marked "Exclusive editorial use" have been made for use in stories or articles that describe events that are news or articles of public interest. Content can not be used for commercial purposes.These standards are also applicable to non-profit organizations.The editorial content can be used in: New articles, Nonfiction books, Documentaries, Other informative purposes, Editorial content can not be used In: Advertisements, Products, Product packaging Any other commercial or promotional material) Wikipedia are informational purposes. I think. Can they be used?--Alpha 09 (talk) 00:16, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

No. We only host content that is free for any purpose. See Commons:Licensing/Justifications. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Hallo, Lizenz

Hallo, es wurde von ihnen zwei Bilder, die ich hochgeladen habe, zur Löschung beantragt. Ich bin die Fotos selbst bearbeitet, und es gibt kein Urheber, die die Lizenz für die Fotos besitzen. Da auch die Qualität nicht mehr entsprechen wie die original, finde ich, dass da kein Lizenz verletzen wurde. Die beiden Fotos wurde jede mongolische Webseiten verwendet, ohne ein Lizenz zu nennen. Daher bitte ich Sie, dass die Bilder erhalten bleibt. Vielen Dank. Munkhzaya.E (talk) 18:01, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

I can't understand what you are trying to say. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

I can't delete anything (ask an administrator instead), and this isn't Wikipedia. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:40, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Possible sock puppet of Kritkitty

Hi!
You seem to be an expert on this topic, so could you look at Myan-bruma8888? --jdx ^Re: 17:34, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that's an obvious one. Added to Commons:Requests for checkuser. Thanks! —LX (talk, contribs) 19:22, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

I don't know what do

Hi
I was editing a page when I was notified that all the images I uploaded were being reviewed. I was shocked. Then I remembered that on Wikipedia I had to put Copyright. For being my first edition, I do not know how to do such a thing, and less if it is in English (my English is not so good, in fact I now use Google Translate xd ...). I've been trying to figure it all out, but there's still a mistake ... but many of those images I took from a book, and the author is where I live. Please, could you help me with how to resolve all the notifications you sent me? I do not understand much of what you send me, how to put licenses or codes that I do not know or to serve or things like that. I just want to update and improve the page of the city where I live. Thanks in advance. Shrykos (talk) 22:39, 30 December 2016 (UTC)User:Shrykos
