Hu Shih

Hey- the original uploader of that photograph can only speak low-level English (according to the user's userpage). The user may have been unaware that the 'Hu Shih' spelling is the convention in English and just went straight from Hanyu Pinyin. Hu Shih's passport says "Hu Shih", and the original uploader was trying to write in English. I submit that the user made an understandable but significant error. Regardless, the man himself (Hu Shih) was an English-speaking person who lived in the USA and he didn't go by the name "Hu Shi" during his lifetime. The uploader was attempting to use English and failed. We don't get to make up pretend names for people.

This was hardly to understand at the request. So if it will be renamed, I will not oppose it now. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 07:26, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Okay sorry, thanks for your help. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 07:59, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Photo walk in Stockholm

It's only a few weeks until Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. I'd like to invite you to the Commons Photographer's photo walk. If you're planning on going to Stockholm in August, please consider joining this event. This is an opportunity to connect with other photographers, have fun together, and explore the beauty of an iconic Scandinavian city… All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:38, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Hallo Frank, solche Aktionen sind nicht so das Rechte für mich. Zu Stressig. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 09:21, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Tusa hiti ,Patan , Lalitpur, Nepal 01.jpg

Hi there! I see you denied several of my renaming requests. You were probably confused by the erroneous Heritage number NP-LP-11 (in stead of NP-LP-24), which refers to Tusha Hiti. Please see for yourself the enormous difference with the actual https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tusha_Hiti and undo your denials of my requests. --Judithcomm (talk) 13:02, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, you gave as renaming cuas "optional text". I could not seen any cause for an optional text. You did not make clear, why this should have been renamed. Do it in a correct way in the first request, and there will be no problem. But a cause need to be valide. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 14:03, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry but I do not entirely understand your reasoning. I didn't fill in the "optional text" field, because I assumed it is, as stated, optional. I've requested it again now, including an optional text.--Judithcomm (talk) 14:35, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Reginald-Salmond-Curtis.jpg

Hi. I see you deleted this 1918 photo, on the grounds that Stoneman didn't die until 1958. However I see other Stoneman photos are still on WP. Can I ask you what the logic is here? Thanks. Kleinzach (talk) 12:33, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

The thing is, that some Wikipedias have other rules for their project. As you will know, every Wiki is indepentently administrated. So for example, the en:WP allowed in much filds much more than the de:WP, in some fields the de:WP is more open than the en:WP. Commons has their special rules. On Commons we must follow those rules. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 18:18, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, Can you point me to the specific rule you are following? As I expect you realise this case is related to UK copyright not US copyright. Kleinzach (talk) 21:25, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, the UK copyright situation you can find here. Probably this would be enough. But - and not the big but - for Commons you need a free copyright for both areas. The UK and the US, because the Server are standing in the United States. This makes a lot of things so difficult. I would like that it would be different and easier too. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 06:47, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

File: Edwin Henry Barton.jpg

Hi, I see that you deleted file Edwin Henry Barton.jpg on the grounds that he died in 1958. I have reliable information that he died on September 23, 1925. Could you please reinstall this file? Livinus (talk) 10:28, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

It's not importan, when the person on the image died. We're talking abou the photographer (see also above). He has the copyright. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 13:08, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Need help

Hi, can you remove File:Phra Chonlathan Vinnicchai (1).png from ru:Нгуен Тхе-то and ru:Династия Нгуен Russian wikipedia? The portrait is not Нгуен Тхе-то (Gia Long). I'm unable to edit russian wikipedia via proxy.--El caballero de los Leones (talk) 09:44, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

3 Darracq-Fotos

Hallo Marcus, ich habe erst jetzt bemerkt, dass da im Vorjahr beim Verschieben etwas schief gelaufen sein muss.
Ich habe im Dezember 2011 3 Fotos eines Fahrzeugs hochgeladen:

1. Darracq 1904 Genevieve vvr.JPG Versionsgeschichte
2. Darracq 1904 Genevieve Front.JPG Versionsgeschichte (Frontansicht)
3. Darracq 1904 Genevieve vvl.JPG Versionsgeschichte (Anmerkung: Endung jeweils großes JPG)

Die erste Datei hat Brackenheim morgens nach Darracq 1904 Genevieve on London to Brighton VCR 2011.jpg verschoben. Das war inhaltlich falsch, spielt hier aber keine Rolle.
Die zweite Datei ist verschwunden. Laut Versionsgeschichte morgens von Brackenheim nach Darracq 1904 Genevieve at Regent Street Motor Show 2011.jpg verschoben.
Die dritte Datei wurde abends von Dir nach Darracq 1904 Genevieve at Regent Street Motor Show 2011.jpg verschoben. Der Name existierte aber anscheinend schon für die zweite Datei. Verschiebefehler? Fehler im System, da schon der Verschiebeantrag fehlerhaft gewesen sein könnte?

Für meinen besseren Durchblick habe ich die erste und dritte Datei wieder auf den ursprünglichen Namen verschoben, aber mit kleinem .jpg.

Was kannst Du tun, um die zweite Datei wieder sichtbar zu machen? --Buch-t (talk) 06:37, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Hallo, damit kenne ich mich leider auch nicht wirklich aus, es wäre gut, wenn du die Frage mal auf Commons:Forum stellst. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 19:32, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Rename file

Hi, you ever renamed the File:Distribution aux Consommateurs logo.jpg and made the change to the related article, in this article the other File:Distribution aux Consommateurs 1975 logo.png was renamed but the change was not made in the article. Can you do it. Thanks.--Mischoop (talk) 15:49, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Wiki Science Competition 2019

Logo for Wiki Science Competition

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2019 has started in the whole world. It is now completed in Russia (active in May), Ukraine and France (active during November), but it's still open in all the other countries.

If you want to take part where WSC2019 is still open, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, please consider that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

Please keep in mind that there is a new category this year, i.e. "nature and wildlife".

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase, please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2020.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Your best shot 2019

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

It's early 2020, which means it's time again to look back at photographs taken over the course of the past 12 months. As always, I'm curious – what would you consider your best shot of 2019 and why? I invite you to share your image and your thoughts in order to provide others with the opportunity to celebrate, learn, and enjoy:

Your best shot 2019

Thanks for all your effort in sharing your vision of the world with others under a free license!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 20:01, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Bitte Logo löschen

Hallo Markus, nach meinem Kenntnisstand bist Du hier auf Commons Admin. Um dieses Logo hat es vor Jahren einen Rechtsstreit gegeben, das Logo dürfte nicht mehr auf Commons gezeigt werden. Es wurde vor Jahren vorübergehend in zwei Lemmata verwendet, u.a. hier und hier. Ich hatte es damals wieder aus einem Lemma entfernt, allerdings bin ich der Meinung, dass das Logo komplett gelöscht werden sollte. Magst Du Dir das mal anschauen? Danke. Viele Grüße --WJournalist (talk) 10:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Ich habe schlichtweg gar keine Ahnung von Logos, da bin ich einfach der Falsche. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 16:29, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

Vandalismus

Hallo Marcus, schau doch bitte mal, ob dieser heute angemeldete und automatisch willkommen geheißene User:??bucharest"""local$(.*) nicht gestoppt und gesperrt werden kann. Was er auf der QI-Kandidaten-Seite treibt, ist meines Erachtens Vandalismus und macht das Bewertungsverfahren zur Farce. Freundliche Grüße -- Spurzem (talk) 22:02, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Ich denke, das kann man ohne alle Probleme zurück setzen, da diese Massenauswertungen ohne nachvollziehbare Begründungen wirklich unbrauchbar sind. Allerdings wurde er ja bislang nicht einmal angesprochen und man kann da schwerlich durch die Hintertür sperren. Dafür gibt es auch auf Commons reguläre Wege. Denn eindeutiger, böswillig-offensichtlicher Vandalismus ist es ja eher nicht sondern möglicherweise einfach nur falsches Verständnis. Kann natürlich Jemand sein, der nur sein Mütchen kühlt - aber es ist einfach nicht eindeutig genug. Also, ich würde zumindest einen Gesprächsversuch unternehmen. Wenn sich da rausstellt, daß das alles eine BNS-Aktion ist, kann man auch sperren. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 00:20, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Hallo Marcus, freilich soll man immer nur das Beste vermuten, aber hier war ganz offensichtlich - vorsichtig ausgedrückt - ein Spaßmacher am Werk, der an seinem Treiben gehindert werden sollte. Noch mal viele Grüße -- Spurzem (talk) 11:29, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Wie geschrieben - einen Kontaktversuch sollte es schon geben. Vorher ist eine Sperre aus der Hüfte mMn unangebracht. Sollte es nach einer Ansprache noch einmal passieren, drücke ich gerne sofort auf den Knopf. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 13:04, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Bild Tarvi Sikk

Hei, da ist ein Bild von dir: File:Biathlon European Championships 2017 Sprint Men 1744.JPG - es ist in der Kategorie Tarvi Sikk. Im Bild selbst steht kein Name. Und in der Bildbeschreibung steht "Sprint der Männer". Wiederum steht in der Category-Box: "estnische Biathletin".

Für eine Version mit mehr Logos und referenzen

Diese version ist besser mit den Logos im Abschnitt "Verlauf" und mehr Quellen. Klicken Sie einfach auf "Bearbeiten" (edit) und dann auf "Veröffentlichen" (publish). Sie benötigen jedoch ein Konto. Könnten Sie das für mich tun, da ich nur anonym bin? Vielen Dank!--2605:B100:522:A0EF:7865:8501:5940:EE26 18:15, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I don't know, what exactly we talking about. And - IÄm definetly not a specialist in logo rights. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 17:42, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Es geht überhaupt nicht um die Rechte von Logos (sie sind bereits auf Commons), sondern durch Klicken auf Bearbeiten (edit) und dann auf Veröffentlichen (publish) auf den Link, den ich Ihnen gegeben habe, wird der Artikel besser bezogen und enthält mehr Logos, die dem Artikel entsprechen. Leider kann ich es nicht tun, weil ich keine Konten habe. Es wäre willkommen, wenn Sie dies tun. Vielen Dank!--2605:B100:504:F978:81D3:1DBF:276:8FBB 23:22, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Also zunächst einmal - sie sind nicht anonym. Ich könnte ihnen jetzt diverse Dinge erzählen, was ich alles allein über ihre IP-Adresse von ihnen weiß. Ironischerweise ist eine Anmeldung anonymer als nicht angemeldet zu sein. Und ich kann nach wie vor nicht wirklich verstehen, was sie möchten. Sie geben mir einen Link auf eine Wikipedia-Seite mit Logos, die es aber schon auf Commons gibt. Was genau soll ich jetzt tun? Wäre es nicht sinnvoll, mit Jemandem zu reden, der ihre Muttersprache teilt? Das macht es doch viel einfacher. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 00:18, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

I will speak to you in English, what I mean is that on the link I provided you, it's a version that contains more reliable sources and the text is more complete, with logos added in History section but after the user who made it has undid his revision probably by mistake. It would be more constructive to put this version back.--2605:B100:537:A7C2:ECA0:AF0E:AD0A:4D93 15:02, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

I did not find in the rule a ban on such renaming. Please specify the item you are referring to. — Ирука¹³ 19:38, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

Simply think about it. What would that become for a mess, when we start to have image titles in different writing systems. I'm waiting for the first person who wanna have the same discription in english and russian. Or french and arabic. Or Chinese, japanese and hebrew. This can not work. You can ofcourse ask for a second opinion. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 19:41, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

You refused to rename the file, referring to the rule. Please, justify your action with the rule to which you refer. — Ирука¹³ 19:43, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

File:Хеллоуин 1.png

Similar to the topic above. — Ирука¹³ 19:45, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

No, it's not similar. You have here as discription just one word: "Мелитополь". And onstead of creating a usefull discription for the image, you wanna have as discription the file name. But no - the file name ist not the discription! Instead of a short file name and a long discription you wanna change the system. No. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 20:36, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

You refused to rename the file, referring to the rule. Please, justify your action with the rule to which you refer. — Ирука¹³ 11:46, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

File:Анны Кошмал.jpg

For what reason the file was not renamed to my version? Why is it not renamed in the nominative case? — Ирука¹³ 19:49, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

A file name ist not the discription. And special typography is always a problem and should if possible not be made. A lot of people have problems to write this. You also should not just think on you, but also on ather people. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 20:33, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

You refused to rename the file, referring to the rule. Please, justify your action with the rule to which you refer. What about the answer to the second question? — Ирука¹³ 11:47, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Show me the rule, that this file has to be renamed. I say, your request would make thetle more worse. In this case ofcourse there's no renaming. Point. If you don't like my descision, you are free to ask for a second opinion. Point. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 13:28, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

About crops

Hi, Marcus Cyron. Last week you deleted this crop. You argued it was insulting for the cyclist. She was not favored in the imagen, but it wasn't because the crop, in the original imagen she is not favored too. I employ crops of the original imagens to follow a norm in Spanish Wikipedia: to avoid too large infoboxes. So, I cut the vertical length, to avoid things like this (so is it better). I write you, because I don't want to have a problem about the crops I make, for example the last one (I made it just now). So tell me, is it a bad quality crop?

better not to delete redirects

Hello, I am writing to you because I saw this: Category:Lekythos des Syriskos-Malers, AMB F2252. I am sure that you could not imagine it, however, until today[1], the article el:Λευκή λήκυθος του Ζωγράφου του Συρίσκου (Αρχαιολογικά Μουσεία του Βερολίνου F2252), was linked to this, deleted category. So, my conclusion, better not to delete redirects. You might never know who or when will miss them. --FocalPoint (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

To be honest, I never had thought about that before. I know it with files, but not about Categories. Category redirects cause some problems but you are right, it shouls nor vanish, when it's used. And I don't know a way to check the usage. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 20:18, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Where the proof, that this is Ariarathes V.? Why not Ariarathes VI.? Or Ariarathes VII.? The request is just a guess - and there are still the description it would be Ariarathes III. and it's still spread all over the projects, that this would be Ariarathes III.

Diskussionsstil

Hallo Marcus Cyron, Kommentare wie Why ever is Xxlfussel really obsessed with this category haben in einer CfD nichts zu suchen. Die Verwendung des Begriffs „obsessed“ ist aus meiner Sicht bereits ein persönlicher Angriff. So eine Diskussion mag vielleicht ermüdend sein, ist aber besser als der unselige Edit-War, der dem vorangegangen ist. Viele Grüße, AFBorchert (talk) 10:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

"Obsessed" ist die englische Variante von "fixe Idee" - und genau das ist es. Und das gehört in diese Diskussion, weil es schlicht die Wahrheit ist, wie sich an den Fakten klar absehen lässt. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 10:47, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Du willst doch nicht ernsthaft jetzt in Richtung von Begriffen wie Fixierung argumentieren? Der Begriff „obsessed“ ist im Englischen durch den psychischen Bezug ausgesprochen beleidigend und hat in Bezug auf andere Benutzer hier absolut nichts zu suchen. Er hier trägt nur dazu bei, den Konflikt weiter unnötig zu verschärfen. Ist das Dein Anliegen? --AFBorchert (talk) 11:20, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Please take a look at the meeting page and add your name to the list of participants if you’re planning to attend.

Hope to see you in a week! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:41, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

• I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
• Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
• Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Ich kann über The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects wirklich nicht mehr lachen. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 21:15, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Reminder: User Group Meeting this Saturday

Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,

This is a quick reminder that our second virtual meeting will take place this Saturday, September 26. The agenda entails presentations about drone photography, about the story behind a featured picture, and about the future of LRMediaWiki. We'll also discuss photographers’ contacts with the Wikimedia Foundation and the election of representatives for our user group. You'll find information about all of this on the event page:

• Virtual Meeting on September 26, 2020

I'm also inviting you to share some information about yourself and your photography work with other members of the user group on our new membership list:

• Comprehensive membership list

I hope you're well during these difficult times. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:44, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Dein Bearbeitungskommnetar zu File:Iga Swiatek cropped.jpg

Hallo Marcus, zu „is therre no respect?“ (in Special:Diff/486830701/486831538): LennBr hatte diese ausgeschnittene Version aus unerfindlichen Gründen nur in die De-Wikipedia hochgeladen. Als das Bild auf der dortigen Hautseite zu sehen war, habe ich das bemerkt und es nach Commons verschoben, dabei aber nicht bedacht, dass es für mich als Nicht-Admin wegen der Einbindung auf der Hauptseite gesperrt war. Ich hatte mir das notiert und wollte die noch fehlenden Bearbeitungen (und zwar nicht nur Kategorieiserungen) nachholen, wenn das Bild nicht mehr genutzt würde, bin gestern aber nicht dazu gekommen (und wäre sowieseo erst am Abend, also nach dir, aktiv geworden). Alle Änderungen vom 10.10. habe ich direkt in den Importerdialog eingegeben; ich hätte die anderen Einträge auch dort machen müssen, was aber deutlich unbequemer ist. — Speravir – 19:07, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

OK, danke für die Erklärung. Leider haben wir nicht immer den Eindruck, dass das, was wir da in mehr als zwei Wochen gemacht haben auch nur ansatzweise eine Würdigung erfährt (vulgo: respektiert wird). Darum ist man schon irgendwann ein wenig frustriert, wenn man in der Woche zig mal sieht, dass Unsinn passiert. Leider nur selten wie bei dir aus erklärbaren Gründen. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 19:16, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Bildlizenz

Hallo Marcus, Frage zu diesem [2] Bild. Der User behauptet [de:https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Karl_Hagemeister&oldid=204158913&diff=cur] es wäre sein Werk, wobei ich annehme er hat die Lizenbedingungen nicht verstanden. Er mag es ja abfotografiert haben, aber so stimmt die Lizenz nicht. Darf ich um Deine Unterstützung bitten. Gruß -- Biberbaer (talk) 14:58, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Ich habe mal in der Bildbeschreibungsseite eine Ergänzung vorgenommen. Das sollte dann reichen. Da Hagemeister 1933 gestorben ist, sind seine Werke seit mittlerweile gut 15 Jahren gemeinfrei. Zudem gehen wir in diesem Projekt standardmäßig davon aus, dass die reine Reproduktion von zweidimensionalen Werken, wie es Gemälde nun einmal sind, keine eigene Schöpfungshöhe erzeugen. Also ist das Problem hier eher ein akademisches, als eines des Urheberrechts. Und das sollte mit der Ergänzung erledigt sein. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 15:09, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Ok danke, bleibt nur die Überbilderung und das gleiche Motiv. Gruß -- Biberbaer (talk) 15:11, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Das ist dann ein anderes, nicht rechtliches Problem, das leider viele Artikel haben. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 15:26, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group meeting on Saturday

Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,

I'd like to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, December 12. We'll have two presentations: Habib Mhenni aka Dyolf77 will answer the question Do "we" need DSLRs anymore? and Martin Falbisoner will walk us through the making of his featured picture File:Caribbean_Sea_-_Long_Exposure.jpg.

If you can make it, please add your name to the list of attendees to this page:

• Virtual Meeting on December 12, 2020

I hope to see you in three days. Also, I wish you, your family, and your friends all the best for 2021. Your contributions to Commons make a big difference.

Warmly, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 14:05, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Happy holidays 2020/2021!

Emily Thater

Hi, there! I asked to the project that takes care of images for a crop of a file about the professional volleyball player Emily Thater, so I could add it to her wikipedia page. It seems you deleted the cropped file. Can I ask you why? Is it possible to have the cropped pic back? Thank you. :) --OTHravens 7 (talk) 14:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

The crop was a violation of personality rights. It it one thing, to have a whole image of celebrating people. But in the moment you crop something out there, you create a new image of it's own. And this was an image, that was claerly an attack on personal rights and a disgrace. Not everything, what is technically possible, is under human conditions OK to do. In the moment, a crop insults the person instead of illustrating an article, we can not accept this. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 14:16, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I get it, thank you. So there's no way I can take that pic of her and put it on her page, taking off the other players. Isn't it? --OTHravens 7 (talk) 14:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons!

Dear Marcus Cyron

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, @Wikitanvir (WMF): - but I will not support such dictatorial elements. Especially not, because I felt firsthand how the WMF used it improperly. The UCoC is a pure disciplinary measure against unpopular (seen from the WMF, so people who can think for themself) users. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 11:54, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Marcus Cyron, thank you for sharing how you feel. I want you to know that your opinion is still important. Therefore, I would be happy if you can participate in the survey on UCoC. Thank you for your consideration. Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 22:33, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello Marcus Cyron,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:54, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

• Virtual Meeting on March 20, 2020

Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:

• Questions for Ben

I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.

Boscoreale mirror

Hi Marcus! Unfortunately, I have but few pictures of the Boscoreale treasure, and they are all on Commons. As soon as the Louvre reopens, I will try to photograph the mirror. Can you confirm this is the correct artwork? Do you know where exactly the signature is? Jastrow (Λέγετε) 08:42, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

You are a godess! :) I think, this is the right piece. I only know a discription, not an image, but everything, the material, the motive and the number Bj 2158 maked clear, it must be this piece. I'm working in the moment on biografies and lists on ancient toreuts, gold- & silversmiths and jewelers (I need a short break from ceramics ;)). -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 12:35, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Reminder: Commons Photographers meeting tomorrow

Just a quick reminder: the meeting with large format-photographer Ben Horne will happen tomorrow, Saturday, March 20. If you haven't done yet, please consider signing up for the event and add your questions to this page. This will be our first virtual meeting in 2021 and I'd be super happy if you could join. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:34, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Ist es so schlimm mit dem WLan? Mensch, ich kann mich noch an Zeiten erinnern, da konnten wir anderen Ländern etwas vormachen beim Thema Breitband und Internet… --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:58, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Ja - und seit dem Moment haben wir uns nicht weiter entwickelt, der Rest der Welt aber *g*. Es gibt Regionen, da geht es. In anderen ist es weniger gut. Und in älteren Mehretagenhäusern aus Stein wird allen noch einmal komplizierter. Zudem sind die Mobil-Verträge in Deutschland nach wie vor sehr teuer. Ich müsste also wählen zwischen Verbrauch meiner restlichen mobilen Bandbreite des Monats oder einem schwachen statischen WLan. Und derzeit ist alles durch Corona noch viel komplizierter. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 01:19, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Ich finde das total erstaunlich. Was meinst Du, worauf dieses Defizit im Bereich Internet und Telekommunikation zurückzuführen ist? Ansonsten ist Deutschland doch ein einigermaßen entwickeltes Land – irgend etwas muss doch zwischen 2008 (als ich ausgewandert bin) und heute schiefgelaufen sein. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:36, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Das hat zwei Gründe. Zum einen der Schwarze-Null-Fetisch der aktuellen Regierungskoalition, der seit 15 Jahren keine echten infrastrukturellen Investitionen zulässt und im ganzen Land nur noch auf Kosten der Substanz gelegt wird, obwohl dringend Investitionen in solche Dinge, aber auch in die Bildung nötig wären. Das andere ist in erstklassiger Weise dort beschrieben. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 11:09, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Bitte schau mal auf die Diskussionsseite der Veranstaltung oder in meine letzten Beiträge. Es gibt ein Problem mit der Umstellung auf Sommerzeit, das mir gerade aufgefallen ist. Für Teilnehmer aus Deutschland beginnt das Treffen um fünf, nicht wie üblich um sechs Uhr abends. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 11:16, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Schöngarth

Apologies for using English, aber mein Deutsch ist schrecklich. Question: do you think an undeletion request for this image (deleted from Commons on 10 June 2015) could be successful? The photograph shows (literally) the other side of Karl Eberhard Schöngarth, the scarfaced SS-doctor. The photo was made between 30 Jan. 1941 and 30 Jan. 1943 by an unknown photographer. I am certain of the date because of Schöngarth's uniform, as SS-Oberscharführer. I am also sure about the photo being in the public domain: unknown photographer, 70 years after publication, Urheberrecht in Deutschland: § 66 Anonyme und pseudonyme Werke, (1) Bei anonymen und pseudonymen Werken erlischt das Urheberrecht siebzig Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung.' Vysotsky (talk) 14:06, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I can't see, why this image should be treatened different than this. The main question is, is the one on Commons also a candidate for deletion more than the other for restoration?! -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 15:17, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

To delete or not to delete, that's the question. Seriously: deletion depends on the law of the country, date, photographer, contracts involved and several other circumstances - you know it all. In these cases: both unknown photographer, both >70 years old, both orig. under German law, § 66 Urheberrecht seems to apply, so I wil give it a go and ask for undeletion. Vysotsky (talk) 15:34, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Der Neue Pauly.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Der Neue Pauly.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Der Neue Pauly.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Hello, please take a look at this report: Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Files named with meaningless/disruptive names (motivated renaming was reverted without any valid reason) as these are serious everyday violations of the Commons rules and protection of meaningless names (in this case, Kalumny which translates as Columns). User Kazimier Lachnovič with filemover rights constantly performs violations of the Commons rules, creates instability issues and protects meaningless names, thus creates confusion. His Commons admin rights previously were lifted, but it is clear that it is not enough. -- Pofka (talk) 17:19, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

Because there's nothing disputed. This is a part of the Ukraine and vast majority of the world see it this way. We don't start to work for those who decline the international law, just because they use weapons. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 16:37, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Вікі любить пам'ятки 2021 в Україні / Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in Ukraine

Привіт!

З 1 по 30 вересня вже традиційно пройде українська частина міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки»! В Україні цей конкурс пройде вже вдесяте. На конкурс можна подавати власні фото пам'яток історико-культурної спадщини України — і змагатися за призи. Більше можна прочитати за посиланням.

Радимо ознайомитися із детальними правилами, а також із відповідями на часті питання. Як і того року — у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток» можна отримати 21 бал за фотографії об'єктів, якщо світлин цієї пам'ятки раніше не було завантажено.

Нагадаємо, що всі фотографії автоматично беруть участь у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток»; однак для того, щоб фото позмагалося у номінації «Найкраще фото», потрібно підтвердити це при завантаженні.

Цього року вперше будуть окремо виділені фото з повітря (дронами, квадрокоптерами тощо) — у спеціальній номінації «Аерофото». Для того, щоб робота потрапила на спецномінацію потрібно вибрати її у Завантажувачі.

Також вперше проводиться спеціальна номінація «Пам'ятки Подесення», знову пройдуть спецномінації «Відео», «Єврейська спадщина», «Млини», «Пам'ятки національно-визвольної боротьби» та «Via Regia Ukraine». Для участі світлин у цих спецномінаціях не потрібно обирати нічого у Завантажувачі — світлини зараховуватимуться автоматично з відповідних списків.

Усі номінації та спецномінації конкурсу описані тут.

Приєднуйтеся!

Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Більше інформації про конкурс дивіться за посиланням. Щоб отримувати інформацію про новинки у конкурсі — підпишіться на наші блог та сторінку у фейсбук.

Важливо! Цього року відбулася адміністративно-територіальна реформа. Однак, ми проводимо конкурс ще за попереднім адміністративно-територіальним устроєм. Ми почали роботу над створенням списків з новим поділом, але вона ще не є завершена. Ви можете користуватися тими новими списками, що вже є, якщо потрібно відшукати пам'ятку за новим поділом (деякі ОДА вже почали присилати у такому форматі), але пам'ятайте, що нові списки ще не є повними.

Якщо у Вас є запитання, можете звертатися wlmwikimedia.org.ua чи у фейсбук – З повагою, Оргкомітет «Вікі любить пам'ятки».17:31, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Привіт!

Нагадуємо, що до 30 вересня включно можна вантажити світлини та відео культурної спадщини України до національного етапу міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки»!

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)

Glyptothek-Fotos

Hallo Marcus,

danke für Dein freundliches Dankeschön beim Inventory Glyptothek Munich! – Freut mich, wenn Du (stellvertretend für den Rest des Wikiversums ;-) ...) hilfreich findest, was ich dort bisher aktualisiert habe. Das ist freilich eher ein Nebenprodukt des Sortierens der Fotos in den Saal-Kategorien unter Category:Glyptothek Munich by room.

Für ein paar Säle habe ich die Fotos nach den Nummern im Museumsrundgang und im Führer von Dieter Ohly (9. Aufl. 2001) sortiert. Bei acht Köpfen (zehn Fotos, davon acht von Dir) in Saal 11 komme ich allerdings auf keinen grünen Zweig. Ich habe sie mit sort key "unidentified" ans Ende der Kategorieseite gestellt. – Könntest Du bitte mal schauen?

2022 kann eine ganze Menge Deiner älteren Fotos den zehnten Geburtstag feiern. Du wirst Dich entsinnen:

„Da ich derzeit nicht dazu komme, all meinen Bildbestand angemessen aufzubereiten, andererseits aber das material nicht sinnlos auf dem PC verkommen lassen will, habe ich mich entschlossen es mitsamt eventueller Begleittexte (die dann gelöscht werden sollten) quasi als Rohmaterial hochzuladen. Jeder ist herzlich eingeladen, Beschreibungen hinzuzufügen, Titel zu verbessern, Kategorisieren etc.“

Vielleicht magst Du bei der Gelegenheit ein paar Informationslücken stopfen? Vielleicht auch gleich noch bei einigen anderen Fotos? Durch den zeitlichen Abstand ist das sicher nicht einfacher geworden, aber für Dich hoffentlich immer noch leichter zu bewerkstelligen als für Otto Normalwikipedianer. – Wär’ das nicht ein schönes Geburtstagsgeschenk für diese Fotos? Als Viertklässler haben sie in diesen zehn Jahren ja auch lesen gelernt ;-) ... -- Martinus KE (talk) 16:30, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Der Wille ist da. Leider so wenig Zeit. Ich habe noch so viel auf der Platte, was ich noch nicht hoch geladen habe, genau weil ich einfach nicht hinterher komme. Mittlerweile habe ich zum Teil schon in größerer Zahl wieder Bilder verloren. Bei den nicht kategorisierten Bildern schaue ich mal, kann allerdings nichts versprechen. Zur Not müssen wir einfach mal fragen, die sind da ja ganz nett. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 17:24, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Merci für Deine Antwort, Marcus! – Ich wollte einfach mal freundlich gefragt haben, und ungebührlich verfrühte Drängelei war das ja auch nicht ...

Teilweise würden – statt Deiner Reisenotizen – vermutlich auch Erwerbungsberichte im Münchner Jahrbuch oder der Ausstellungskatalog Charakterköpfe (2017) Auskunft geben können. (Ich hab' freilich weder das eine noch den anderen.) Insofern sind noch nicht alle Möglichkeiten ausgeschöpft.

Solange Maskenzwang und anderes Gedöns den Kunstgenuss verunmöglichen, werde ich jedenfalls nicht in die Glyptothek gehen.

Schließlich könnten Lästermäuler frech fragen, ob ein Artikel wie Herodotos (Bildhauer) wirklich dringlicher ist, als Deiner Verantwortung für Deine Fotos gerecht zu werden. Doch wie gesagt: So denken nur Lästermäuler. ;-) -- Martinus KE (talk) 15:47, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Nene, du hast berechtigt nachgefragt, es war mir schon wieder entfleucht. Habe mal alles was ich konnte gemacht. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 17:38, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Da sag' ich artig danke! Damit ist für Saal 11 viel mehr Land in Sicht.

Mal schauen, wie weit ich bei der Fleißarbeit, die Fotos auf der Inventory-Seite zu verlinken, kommen werde.

Und danach wären eigentlich wieder die anderen Säle an der Reihe, aber alle werd' ich sicher nicht machen. -- Martinus KE (talk) 22:22, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Gib mit Bescheid, wenn du jeweils soweit bist, ich mache dann, was ich kann, um eventuelle Lücken zu schließen. Und mit Saal 11 hast du ja eh schon den größten Hammer erledigt. Alles andere ist im Vergleich dazu ja "Pillepalle". -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 23:47, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

@Martinus KE: - Burkhard schrieb mir, dass du maßgeblich in das Münchner Antikensammlungsprojekt involviert bist. Und dass ihr letztlich gut an Literatur kommt. Versuche mal wenn möglich ISBN 978-3-89870-711-4 zu bekommen. Zur Identifizierung eines Großteils der Glyptothek-Bestände ungemein nützlich. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 17:20, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

... ach, da haben sich Burkhards und meine Aktivitäten einfach ganz spontan berührt und ergänzt. Ich hege eine alte Liebe zu den römischen Sarkophagen, und als ich wieder einmal nach den Fotos der Glyptothek-Sarkophage geschaut habe, bin ich "irgendwie hängen geblieben".

Danke auch für den Hinweis auf den (relativ) neuen Führer von Matthias Steinhart. Ich hatte mir zwar gedacht, dass es einen Ersatz für den Ohly-Führer geben müsste, aber nichts Genaues gewusst. -- Martinus KE (talk) 21:24, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Der ist nicht ansatzweise mit Ohlys Führer (habe ich natürlich auch in mehreren Auflagen) vergleichbar. Aber er ist überaus Bildlastig und macht das identifizieren sehr einfach. Dafür fehlen beschreibende Texte abgesehen von einer Benennung und einer Datierung und den Nummern im Anhang völlig (Artikel schreiben ist damit vollkommen unmöglich). Ist aber auch sehr bezahlbar. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 22:03, 22 February 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)

Sound Logo

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,

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)

Because they were tagged as Copyvio. Contact me, when you have the permission, a restoration is possible. But not before the permission is here (why you can not ask for a permission, before you upload the images?). Marcus Cyron (talk) 21:39, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

I asked for permission. I have communications between the author and I, representing Wikimedistas de Perú. Its very complicated to do campaigns like this, asking for donors, when things like this happens. Im very frustrated :( MiguelAlanCS (talk) 21:46, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

According ticket 2022070310006014 all pictures must be restored ASAP. Regards!!! Ezarateesteban 21:56, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

Ask me - can you imagine, how frustrating this is for us here? Why you can not do this from the beginning in a correct way? We can not act here in such a lax way as you apparently have in mind. Copyrights are not a basis for negotiation. They are not up for discussion. Right from the start, work in a way that doesn't lead to more work. First permission, then upload. It is not fun to restore nearly 300 images, just because you wanted to do it fast, instead of doing it good. Marcus Cyron (talk) 22:10, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

So, how i do next time? I want to do it correctly because i always ask for photos from photographers. How can an author send a mail to VTR before know the link? What are the steps to do it right? Thanks! MiguelAlanCS (talk) 22:16, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

The easiest way: Use this templae. Or use as you did here genereic names and ask for a permission for these files prior to the upload and upload them then with the known ticket number. Marcus Cyron (talk) 22:23, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

I used that template. But i will do the second: generic names, then the ticket, and at last upload... MiguelAlanCS (talk) 22:35, 3 July 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)

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)

PD-Art and Greek vases

Hi Marcus. Although I disagreed with you about the copyright status of the photo of the kylix at Yale, I wanted to tell you that what I said in the discussion of the deletion request is true: I really do admire what you have done here over the years to make the Commons a more useful place for those who are interested in Greek and Roman art. When I first started searching the Commons for photos to use for teaching, back in the mid-2000s, it was still of somewhat dubious value, but there were a few people active in the area of ancient art back then who were clearly trying to increase the range of images and improve their organization, and in general make it more useful for serious academic purposes. You were one of those (along with others like Marie-Lan Nguyen (Jastrow), who became my personal hero -- I can't tell you how many of her images I used in my classes over the years!). Anyway, I was genuinely surprised to find that it was you who uploaded the photo of the Yale cup, since I didn't check the username before I tagged it for deletion. You've been doing this a lot longer than I have, and I meant no disrespect, even if we disagree in our interpretations of PD-Art.

This case does raise two interesting questions, though:

• In the case of Greek vases, how much curvature is enough to qualify as "three-dimensional"? You're right that the bottoms of some 5th-century kylikes come very close to flat, much more so than deeper 6th-century forms, so where does one draw the line? And it seems odd (to me) to argue that it's okay to upload a photo of the interior of a cup when it's not okay to upload a photo of the exterior of the same cup.

• More generally, if a fundamentally three-dimensional object (like a vase or a piece of furniture, for example) has a small area of two-dimensional decoration on it, does that small area qualify for PD-Art, regardless of the three-dimensional nature of the object as a whole? In other words, would a small painted panel on the back of a chair or the top of a chest qualify? I would assume not, but you have much more experience than I do in interpreting copyright law on the Commons, so I'd be interested in hearing what you think.

Best wishes, Choliamb (talk) 02:30, 3 October 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.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

Hallo Marcus du schreibst dort als Begründung fürs Behalten "no valid reason for deletion". Das ist aber eigentlich eine Standardbegründung, die für *sehr* eindeutige Fälle bestimmt ist, wie beispielsweise Vandalismus oder irgendwelche völlig unbegründeten (Rache-)Löschanträge. In meinem Fall, denke ich, gab es schon einen plausiblen Löschgrund und alle Diskutanten beziehen sich zwar auf "de minimis", können aber allesamt nicht so recht erklären wieso. Die Figur, die unfrei sein könnte, ist jedenfalls wirklich sehr prominent im Bild platziert, das kann man schwer bestreiten. Kannst du also das Behalten besser begründen, so dass auch mir die Argumentation klar ist? Dankeschön. MfG --A.Savin 21:07, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

OK. Dann formuliere ich es so: Die Argumente für eine Löschung sind höher zu werten, als die gegen eine Löschung. Zunächst einmal ist dort eine Person beim Wischen zu sehen. Das Maskottchen ist sicher nicht mal eben zu übersehen, aber dennoch eben einzig ein Gimmick im eigentlichen Bild und deshalb als Beiwerk zu werten, das meiner Meinung nach im Rahmen des geltenden Rechts so gezeigt werden darf.

Kyle Walker

Hi, I thought it would be easier to reply on your talk page rather than at Stepro's. A quick question: does the author of a work released into the public domain under a free licence have a right to decide what versions of their work are linked (via the 'Other versions' section)? Further, should that be the case, do you think it is appropriate that a description of "bad crop by [uploader of modified file]" be used in the of author field?

And in response to this edit summary: I'd certainly be loathe to see us lose contributors who are uploading high quality photos that they've taken. However, I'm also concerned that describing crops made by editors acting in good faith as "terible" and "that bad" could also have such an affect. Perhaps, though, it's easier to take long-term users who are merely *modfying* content, however inadequate their attempts may be, for granted. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:04, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Counter-question: Is it necessary to annoy a long-time employee who contributes many rare motives in such a way that he might stop contributing? You shouldn't do everything you can do! Marcus Cyron (talk) 21:20, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Slightly taken aback that cropping an image and asking a couple of followup questions re the issues that followed seemingly equates to "do[ing] everything [I] can do" to "annoy a long-time employee". But thanks for confirming my suspicion that volunteers like myself aren't valued by many on here. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:56, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Eine Antwort ans Team, sowie an die Rechteinhaberin ist unterwegs, sie muss sich die Dateien ja anschauen können, damit sie ihre Antwort senden kann. Liebste Grüsse עפרה「Ofra」 15:51, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Dann werden wir das auch alles hin bekommen. Du musst das Positive sehen: bislang habe ich sonst heute nur Lösch- und Schnelllöschanträge gestellt. Bei deinem Upload nicht, weil immerhin ersichtlich war, dass sich gekümmert wird. ;) Marcus Cyron (talk) 15:52, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Natürlich, immer das Positive in den Vordergrund stellen. Ich möchte jedenfalls nicht wissen, wie viele Bilder da täglich gelöscht werden müssen, da sie entweder Unsinn sind, oder alle erforderlichen Angaben fehlen. עפרה「Ofra」 16:04, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Ich schaue mir das parallel zu meinen eigenen Uploads heute das erste mal seit einigen Monaten mal wieder an und es ist schlimm. Ich würde meinen ein bis zwei Prozent. Klingt erst einmal nicht nach viel, es sind aber unter dem Stricht eine ganze Menge Bilder, zumal die "sauberen" häufig in größeren Serien daher kommen. Es gibt ein paar Weltregionen, in denen man da wirklich gar keinen Wert drauf legt. Da wird geklaut wie sonst was, aber auch, weil sie es nicht besser wissen. Es gibt kein Bewusstsein für Bildrechte. Marcus Cyron (talk) 16:09, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Hwllo. Thank you for tagging files for deletion on Commons. I recently noticed that you tagged File:Gettyimages-1448156173-2048x2048.jpg with the reason I get mad .... Seeing copyright violations uploaded to Commons can be maddening, but that being mad isn't really a deletion reason. In the future, would you please provide a more descriptive deletion reason when you add {{Copyvio}} tags to a file page?

Cheers!

Sorry, after some hourse watching new images, this is hard. Marcus Cyron (talk) 22:57, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

I agree, and I appreciate your work :) — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 23:18, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

Salü Marcus.

Wie es scheint hat Frau Amin keine Antwort mehr geschickt (mir übrigens auch nicht), obwohl ich sie am 13.6 noch einmal darauf hinwies und vermutlich kommt da auch nichts mehr. Anderenfalls wäre die VTR-Nummer von eurem Team längst eingetragen worden. Darum habe ich beide Bilder vorhin zum löschen vorgeschlagen. Mit liebsten Grüssen; עפרה「Ofra」 15:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Photos from DGUF

Hi Marcus, I saw you undeleted File:Ulf-Ickerodt-2018.jpg and if you rationale is correct, you may also want to check File:Doreen Moelders beim Vortrag 2017.jpg and File:Portrait Doreen Moelders 2017.jpg. I would like to add that one of my motivations for tagging the images for VRT was that their Impressum states that their documents cannot be used commercially (of course that is only for their website). Cheers. Günther Frager (talk) 19:15, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Günther. I know Frank Siegmunf in Person, I had already two talks about Archaeology in Wikipedia at the DGUF annual conferences. He definetly uploads images, he is allowed to upload. When he said, these images are made gy himself, then they are and the addition "DGUF" in the exif probably means, that these images were talen with equipment of them. But I will ask him before I restore all the images for a mail to the Support team, that we will not have such problems anymore. Marcus Cyron (talk) 21:01, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Bilder aus Schweden

Moin Marcus, du hast mir Hilfe angeboten, und die bräuchte ich mal: es tauchen immer wieder Artikel auf, die man mit schönen Fotos aus dem Digitalmuseum ausschmücken kann. Beispiel: https://digitaltmuseum.org/021018122214/uddevalla-vanersborg-herrljunga-jarnvag-uwhj-lok-15 - allerdings haben die einen Copyrighthinweis "Public domain mark (CC pdm)". Theoretisch heißt das, jeder kann das frei verwenden. Aber hier in Commons gibt es für diese CC eine Einschränkung, dies ist irgendwie doch nicht frei. Allerdings habe ich schon Bilder gesehen, die haben eine andere CC, als hier im Original. Hat eben jemand runtergeladen - "PD-old" oder so was - und dann eine andere Copyright-Vorlage eingegeben. Dann habe ich auch gesehen, dass es Seiten gibt wie: https://jenikirbyhistory.getarchive.net/amp/media/fagersta-bangard-6a5ecd - ganz unten steht: Copyright info: No known restrictions on publication. Dann ist der Link zum Digitalmuseum und da steht dan wieder "Public domain mark (CC pdm)". Abschließend: ich hätte gerne die Lokomotive, aber wie geht das korrekt? Danke und Gruß Mef.ellingen (talk) 13:39, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hallo, na das ist ja mal eine Nuss. Also soweit ich das verstehe, beziehen sich die Probleme mit der Public-Domain-Mark-1.0-Lizenz in erster Linie auf Flickr-Bilder. Nach der Lizenzdefinition trifft hier mMn auch PD-old durchaus zu (wenngleich es auch andere PD-Möglichkeiten gäbe, aber eher nicht bei diesem Bild). Aber da wären mir noch ein, zwei Meinungen mehr ganz lieb. @DCB: , @Raymond: , @MB-one: , @DerHexer: . Marcus Cyron (talk) 15:53, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Hallo, die Public Domain Mark ist keine eigene Lizenz (vgl. nebenstehende Präsentation, Folie 165f.) in dem Sinne, dass sie einen urheberrechtlichen Status ändert. Sie markiert Werke als Public Domain, kennzeichnet also einen rechtlichen Status. Das Werk fällt also unter die Public-Domain-Regelung. DCB (talk) 16:02, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

File:19991121 KOE - Vera Macht 1.tif

Moin Marcus, kann du hier bitte mal schauen: Da hat einer einen Löschantrag gestellt. Das ist ein Bild von einer Malerin. Das ist mein Foto, allerdings sagt der, dass eine URV wegen der Dastellung des Bildes auf dem Bild vorliegt - 70 Jahre nach dem Tod des Künstlers. Ich kann das Bild selbst wegschneiden, ist das dann ok? Mef.ellingen (talk) 12:23, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Wenn er mit Bild Nr. 1 Recht hat, lösche es bitte, dann muss man nicht lange rumtun. Danke. Mef.ellingen (talk) 12:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Ich habe nochmal Rücksprache gehalten, weil es wirklich ein sehr kniffliger Fall ist, einer dieser Fälle, die so richtig auf der Kippe stehen. Da es aber dann doch einen deutlichen Unterschied macht, wenn das Gemälde weg wäre, ist es halt auch kein einfaches Beiwerk mehr. Eine Fukusverschiebung nach rechts mit etwas mehr Malerin hätte das wohl "gerettet". Aber wer dachte 1999 schon an Wikipedia. Ich würde aber meinen, beim Ausschnitt kännte man sogar noch ein wenig mehr Gemälde dran lassen, als es aktuell ist. Leider haben wir hier einen der Fälle, in dem das Recht Niemandem wirklich hilft. Marcus Cyron (talk) 13:55, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Rechts war das Negativ zu Ende und in der Form war das für die Zeitungsberichte natürlich optimal, die Künstlerin mit ihrem Werk auf einem Bild. Das Foto war damals auch nicht für WP gedacht, sondern zum Geldverdienen. Bei diesen Veröffentlichung war das natürlich so gewollt. Nachdem jemand einen Artikel über Vera Macht gemacht hat, der mangels Info gelöscht wurde, habe ich das aus dem Negativarchiv geholt. Ich habe das jetzt abgeschnitten und damit ist Ruhe. Besten Dank und viele Grüße. Mef.ellingen (talk) 14:39, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

Commons photographers: next virtual meeting on August 5

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm inviting you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, August 5th. We'll have two speakers: Poco a poco will provide us with an update on his underwater photography and George Oates from the Flickr Foundation will talk about the Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) that is currently in the works. If you're interested in attending, please sign up on this page: Virtual Meeting on August 5, 2023.

I hope you're having a great time taking photos and I'm looking forward to seeing you on August 5th.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:41, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Schon wieder ich...

Hallo Marcus, hoffentlich falle ich dir nicht auf die Nerven. Ich habe 2020 ein Foto gemacht: File:Erfde Bahnhof.jpg – ich war damals in ganz Schleswig-Holstein unterwegs und habe Reste von Eisenbahnen fotografiert. Nun hat der Besitzer des Gebäudes auf meiner Disk geschrieben, dass das Foto ohne seine Erlaubnis vom Grundstück aus gemacht wurde. Da hat er wohl auch Recht - war eben keiner zum fragen da, war an einem Werktag und wie bei anderen Bahnrelikten für meine Sammlung habe ich das eben fotografiert. Schlimmer ist, dass ich nicht aufgepasst und dann das Foto hochgeladen und in den Artikel Erfde eingestellt habe. Dort habe ich es aktuell rausgenommen, weil er eben vermutlich Recht hat. Kannst du das komplett löschen oder muss ich eine Löschantrag stellen? Vielen Dank und ein schönes Wochenende. --Mef.ellingen (talk) 15:33, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Wenn du mit sowas nicht 2x am Tag kommst wirst du mir mit berechtigten Fragen und Bitten nie auf die Nerven fallen. Ich habe das Bild mit Hinweis auf deinen Beitrag hier gelöscht. Die Sache ist ja klar, du hast halt einen unbeabsichtigten Fehler gemacht, passiert, wird revidiert. Grüße. Marcus Cyron (talk) 07:42, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I've found two images missing VRT ticket, File:Carlo Pedretti.jpeg and File:Carlo Pedretti (cropped).jpeg. Are they OK?-- Carnby (talk) 06:44, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Zeichnung des Lokschuppens Bw Sommerfeld.jpg

File:Zeichnung des Lokschuppens Bw Sommerfeld.jpg - Hallo Marcus, ich habe da eine uralte Zeichnung hochgeladen, in der Hoffnung, dass man das mit einem 150 Jahre alten Bild machen kann. Nun steht aber da im Text des Bildes, dass das urheberrechtlich geschützt ist. Ich habe das nicht von der Seite der Uni hochgeladen, sondern bei den Polen gefunden. Kannst du das beurteilen? Wenn es geschützt ist, würdest du das bitte löschen? Danke. Mef.ellingen (talk) 14:35, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Also die erhobenen Urheberrechte kann die TU nicht haben. Maximal am Scan, aber ich denke, der erzeugt keine Schöpfungshöhe. Das ist schlicht Copyfraud. Wenn sie selbst den Urheber nicht kennen, sollen sie mal versuchen hier irgendwelche Rechte geltend zu machen. Eigentlich, in meinen Augen, eine sehr ärgerliche Sache. Marcus Cyron (talk) 14:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Danke, dann stelle ich die mal zum Artikel und wir werden sehen, was passiert. Vom Alter des Planes her sollte das keine Probleme machen, aber vielleicht sieht jemand irgendwas.

File:Frederick Christian of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.jpg

Hallo, @Marcus Cyron,

Sie haben meinen Antrag, File:Frederick Christian of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.jpg umzubenennen, abgelehnt. Als Begründung führen Sie die Beschreibung, die Kategorien und die Verwendung der Datei an. Das ist nun aus meiner Sicht tautologisch, da Beschreibung, Kategorien und Verwendung auf der falschen Identifikation beruhen. Der Grund für meinen Änderungswunsch war ja gerade, dass nicht mehr falsch identifiziert verwendet wird, ich jedoch nicht im Alleingang die Datei aus sämtlichen Wikis, dem Commons-Item etc. entfernen wollte. Dass eine Umbenennung notwendig ist, habe ich in der Diskussion dargelegt: Es KANN sich gar nicht um Friedrich Christan von Bayreuth handeln, und daher ist der Bildinhalt falsch identifiziert.

Liebe Grüße, Socius sociologicus (talk) 20:21, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Warum ändern sie nicht zunächst das, was sie selbst ändern können? Es kann doch nicht angehen, dass die vermeintliche Fehler stehen lassen, obwohl sie diese ändern können. Die Umbenennung des Dateinamen kann doch nicht der Anfang sein, das muss immer das Ende sein. Wieso sollte Jemand eine Datei umbenennen, wo es offenkundig ist, dass sie selbst sich nicht einmal so sicher sind, dass sie das ändern, was sie ändern können? Und das mit der Tautologie sollten sie besser nicht erwähnen, das fällt nur auf sie selbst zurück. Marcus Cyron (talk) 20:29, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Ich kann natürlich auch zuerst Kategorien, Verwendung etc. ändern, wenn das die sinnvollere Reihenfolge ist. Auf der Adminseite wurde mir zwar das Stellen eines Umbenennungsantrag zuerst empfohlen,aber dann mach ich erst mal das, was ich selber machen kann.

Liebe Grüße Socius sociologicus (talk) 13:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Ich habe jetzt Kategorien, Beschreibung und Verwendung so weit mir möglich geändert, wenn noch etwas zu tun ist, sagen Sie mir bitte Bescheid.

Liebe Grüße Socius sociologicus (talk) 14:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Hallo @Socius sociologicus, wirf doch bitte mal einen Blick auf die Quelle dieser Datei:

https://www.bildindex.de/document/obj21011038?part=37

Dann siehst Du, dass der Umbenennungswunsch abzulehnen ist. Dort steht nämlich "Porträt des Markgrafen Friedrich Christian von Brandenburg-Bayreuth". Falls DAS ein Fehler sein sollte, dann bitte ich Dich, dort Bescheid zu sagen. Aber bevor das nicht anders steht, können wir das hier nicht ändern. Viele Grüße, Emha (talk) 19:59, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Uploads nach Commons für neu angemeldete User

Hallo,

ich lehre an der Univ. Marburg und veranstalte an der Univ. Marburg ein Seminar zu Wikisource, im Rahmen desssen die Teilnehmer/innen selbst ein kleineres Projekt bearbeiten sollen.

Heute wollte ich mit den studentischen Usern in angeleiteter Form Uploads nach commons ausführen (was ja Vorasusetzung eines Wikisource-Projekts ist). In der Regel handelt es sich um Texte zur hessischen Geschichte. Alles urheberechtlich unbedenklich, weil asu dem 18. oder 19. Jh. Die Scans habe ich meistenteils selber erstellt. Im Einzelfall stammen sie aus Digitalisierungsprojekten Dritter, stehen aber unter freier Lizenz. Die Uploads meiner Studis scheiterten heute im Seminar, weil die Möglichkeit des Spamming bei neuen Usern nicht ausgeschlossen ist und sie daher keine PDFs hochladen dürfen. Es wird gebeten, dass man einen Admin kontaktiert. Da ich um deine historische Orientierung weiß, hoffe ich, dass Du in der Sache weiter helfen kannst und vor allem willst. Im Zweifel könnte ich eine Liste der betroffenen (oder potentiell betroffenen) Usernamen schicken. Der Vollständigkeit halber sei gesagt, dass ich in der Sache auch Emha kontaktiert habe. Ich werde jetzt nicht jeden Admin abklopfen, aber eben die beiden, um deren hist. Orientierung ich weiß. Jürgen Nemitz (HSP) (talk) 19:46, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Marcus Cyron, falls Du in der Sache bereits Erfahrung hast, dann würde ich Dir das gerne überlassen. Ich habe Special:ListGroupRights und Special:UserRights gefunden, aber keine Erfahrung bisher damit. Sag' einfach Bescheid - ich denke, die Unterstützung ist unstrittig. Viele Grüße, Emha (talk) 19:50, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Jürgen, du brauchst dich natürlich nicht vorstellen, ich kenne dich ja als Mitherausgeber von "Wikipedia und Geschichtswissenschaft" und verfolge, wenn auch eher am Rande, deine Bemühungen. Zur Sache: wenn @Emha: sich da schon etwas auskennt, dann würde ich das gerne überlassen, denn ich habe da bislang so gar keine Ahnung, mich damit noch gar nicht befasst, weil ich das bislang noch nie brauchte. Ich könnte mich jetzt kundig machen, aber bis ich dann soweit bin, ist Emha sicher schon mehrfach durch. Ansonsten hätten wir dann da auch noch den in solchen Dingen immer überaus fähigen @DerHexer: und zur Not in der Hinterhand auch @Raymond: , obwohl der allerdings sicher froh ist, von mir nicht schon wieder in Arbeit gebracht zu werden ;). Marcus Cyron (talk) 21:59, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

@Marcus Cyron, Du hast nicht gelesen, was ich geschrieben habe, oder? ;) Emha (talk) 22:23, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Die Liste ist eigentlich nicht nötig, da im Logbuch des Filters 281 gut erkennbar ist, wer in diese Einschränkung hineingeraten ist. Mittels dieses Filters werden jedoch nur Konten am Hochladen von PDFs gehindert, die nicht zu den (auto)confirmed users gehören. Diese Bestätigung findet vier Tagen nach Anlage des Kontos auf Wikimedia Commons automatisch statt (Status: „autoconfirmed“), sodass eine manuelle Vergabe nicht nötig wäre. Die Vergabe des Rechtes „confirmed“ können hier alle Admins jederzeit übernehmen; die Rechte sind redundant zu „autoconfirmed“. Die richtige Seite für die Rechtevergabe dafür hat Emha ja schon genannt.
Da ich vermute, dass die Veranstaltung in einer Woche wieder stattfinden wird, wird sich dieses Problem bis dahin aber von selbst aufgelöst haben. Sollte es jedoch neue Teilnehmende geben, kann man diesen natürlich auch kurzfristig „confirmed“ geben; am besten natürlich vor der Veranstaltung, sofern schon ein Konto hier auf Commons vorhanden ist. Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:55, 5 December 2023 (UTC) PS: Mit einer Masterarbeit mit dem Thema „Funktionen der Geographie und Topographie in Polybios’ ἱστορίαι“ bin ich hoffentlich auch inhaltlich qualifiziert. ;)

Du bist doch eh für alles qualifiziert, Schanuggi! Marcus Cyron (talk) 23:11, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

@Marcus Cyron Ich helfe doch immer gerne, aber wie ich hier lese, ist über Nacht schon alles geklärt worden :-) Raymond (talk) 06:29, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Flickypedia soft launch and a huge thank you

Dear fellow Commons photographer,

I hope this message finds you well. As you might already know, the Flickr Foundation has been busy creating a new Flickr-to-Commons bridge (“Flickypedia”) this year. After a successful demo at the GLAM Wiki Conference in Montevideo, the Flickr Foundation team is now inviting all members of the Commons Photographers User Group to be the first to review their alpha, reporting any technical issues or other feedback via the Flickypedia project talk page.

At the same time, this message is an opportunity for me to thank you for your trust and support over the past couple of years. Since 2017, we've grown into being one of the largest user groups in the Wikimedia universe. I've tremendously enjoyed interacting with all of our members when it came to joint photowalks at Wikimanias, virtual Zoom meetings where we covered a wide variety of photography topics, as well as our annual “Most memorable shot of the year”, among many other events. As I'm not running for an official position in our current board election, this will be my last message on behalf of the user group to you. Thanks for all the happy moments we shared together over the years! I hope you'll continue creating free images for the millions of people we serve through Wikipedia and Commons.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:36, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Bucchero oder nicht?

Du hast dieses Foto vor langen Jahren der Category:Bucchero zugeordnet. Aber stimmt das?

• Stilistisch würde ich den Kantharos eher in Richtung hellenistische Glanztonkeramik ("Schwarzfirnisware") schieben.
• Bucchero hat m. W. eine durch und durch schwarze Tonmasse. Auf dem Foto, will mir scheinen, kommt an ein paar (bestoßenen?) Stellen (Blattränder des Weinlaubs) ein roter Tonscherben unter einem Glanztonüberzug hervor.

Sehe ich das richtig? Falls Du Literatur zur Hand hast, was sagt sie? Und was machen wir mit der Commons-Kategorisierung? -- Martinus KE (talk) 21:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Au man, das ist so eine "Altlast" aus 2008, als ich noch mit einer Hobbyknipse unterwegs war. Mit dem 2. Bild davon würde man fast ein brauchbares hin bekommen, könnte man die kombinieren. Mal schauen, das nächste mal muss ich ein besseres machen und die hier ersetze. Zur Sache: Du hast natürlich recht. Ich habe mal die Details ergänzt. Marcus Cyron (talk) 22:23, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Ei fein! ... dass Du so viel ergänzen konntest. Da hätte ich lang herumsuchen können.

Ich sage artig danke! und wünsche Dir ein gutes neues Jahr! -- Martinus KE (talk) 22:41, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Angeblich etruskische Kanne

Nach der Erweiterung des Artikels w:de:Berliner Maler der Trichter-Gruppe hab’ ich mich noch etwas weiter durch die Fotos zur etruskischen (und sonstigen antiken) Keramik geklickt. Eine angeblich etrusko-korinthische Hydria auf zwei Fotos eines chinesischen Berlin-Reisenden hat sich als attisch schwarzfigurig herausgestellt (Category:Berlin, Antikensammlung F 1906), und ein anderes Foto desselben Fotografen lässt mich wieder zweifeln. Nach etwas Sucherei finde ich die Angabe "etruskisch" bei Deinen Fotos der gleichen rotfigurigen Kanne (Berlin V.I. 3235) bestätigt.

Klar ist: Szene aus dem Frauengemach, rotfigurig, ziemlich spät, ungewöhnliche Gefäßform. Und der Maler war ein Schmierfink (Standlinie, Palmette, anatomische Ungeschicklichkeiten, z. B. bei der Zeichnung der Hände).

Aber muss das gleich "etruskisch" und "4. Jh." bedeuten? Ich hätte die Kanne spontan (und "bauchgefühlsweise") ins späte 5. Jh. "gesteckt", grob in die Ecke von Schuwalow-Maler und Zeitgenossen. Dort sind Frauengemach-Darstellungen häufig, und auch Kannen mit (wohl nicht ganz so prononciert) hochgezogenem Ausguss gibt es in beachtlicher Zahl.

Mein Bücherschrank gibt zu V.I. 3235 nichts her (aber Teile stecken seit dem letzten und bis zum nächsten Umzug in Kellerkartons fest). Die Online-Recherche auf der Museums-Website auch nicht. Und über Google kommt man zum Jahresbericht 2010 der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, 2011, S. 11 (JSTOR), wo die "Nolanische Kanne V.I. 3235" ohne weitere Angaben in einer Aufzählung frisch restaurierter Objekte genannt wird.

Falls "Nola" als Fundortangabe zu verstehen ist, würde das wohl nicht gerade für etruskische Produktion sprechen. Die Nekropolen von Nola sind ja in erster Linie durch den attischen Import der "Nolanischen" Amphoren im Bewusstsein der Archäologen.

Aber damit hab’ ich Dich genug zugetextet. – Du hast das Wort. -- Martinus KE (talk) 12:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Hallo, damit kannst du mich jederzeit "volltexten" ;). Zumal: alles was du jetzt machst, muss ich nicht mehr machen ;). Zur Sache: "Die Welt der Etrusker" (dort Erstpublikation, obwohl schon 1882 mit der Sammlung Ancona in Mailand erworben), S. 252 (Bild S. 251), Eintrag D 1.16. "Etruskisch-frührotfigurig". Ansonsten würde ich dir in jeder deiner Analysepunkte recht geben, allerdings eher in Richtung Mannheimer Maler gehen, der hat solche Kannen mit hohen Ausgüssen des M-Töpfers bemalt. War allerdings ein besserer Maler. Marcus Cyron (talk) 13:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Merci vielmals, Marcus! – Diesen Ausstellungskatalog hab' ich sogar griffbereit im Regal stehen. Und was Ursula Kästner darin über die Abhängigkeit der Kanne von attischen Vorbildern des späten 5. Jh. schreibt, erklärt einiges ... und damit auch meine oben beschriebene Verwunderung.

Ich hab' die Beschreibung der drei Fotos jetzt entsprechend mit Literaturhinweisen ergänzt. Damit können wir diese (kleine) Baustelle abschließen. Dank Deiner freundlichen Mithilfe. -- Martinus KE (talk) 23:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Das klingt super. Ich wollte dich eigentlich noch fragen, ob du Interesse an dem Katalog hast (der im übrigen generell sehr gut ist, finde ich), da ich noch ein zweites Exemplar habe - aber wenn du ihn schon hast, umso besser. Dann findet sich sicher Jemand Anderes, dem er noch fehlt. Marcus Cyron (talk) 23:36, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
