Flickr batch uploading

Hi there, the other day, I added a couple of items to Commons:Flickr batch uploading. It lists you as one of the participants. Given that past requests have often been responded to on the same day, but there's been no reply to my requests, I was wondering whether I've missed something / done something wrong. I've also posted this message to user Zil. I haven't watchlisted your page (so if you reply here, please notify me with a talkback), but I do monitor the upload request pages. Thanks a lot. Schwede66 01:23, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, one of my flickr batch upload jobs from early June is still open. Zil has had a few attempts, has asked a few times for me to do something, but since my last action (12 July) things have been silent. I see he or she hasn't been on Commons in a while. Would you mind having a look at some point? I know that we are all volunteers and hence I really appreciate you doing these kinds of jobs. I've now watchlisted your page, too, so a TB is not required. Schwede66 06:00, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Onroerend erfgoed

Multichill, in 2008 hebben we de gelegenheid gehad om "Het groot domein" in Sint-Agatha-Rode in België tijdens een monumentendag te bezoeken. Ik heb toen foto's gemaakt van het kasteel, dat vanaf de straat niet zichtbaar is. Kan ik deze foto's op Commons uploaden? Groeten, Wouter (talk) 21:44, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Als aanvulling een ander geval. Als gunst van de eigenaar hebben we met een groepje de buitenkant van een grote privé woning kunnen bekijken. Ook een onroerend erfgoed geval. Ik heb daar ook foto's van gemaakt. Ik zou het zelf niet op prijs stellen als op die manier foto's van mijn huis bij Commons terecht komen. Is de privacy regel als bij personen hier ook van toepassing? Wouter (talk) 20:12, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Het is een beetje naar eigen inzicht of een foto een privacygevoelig karakter heeft. Als ik een eigenaar spreek, vraag ik meteen of hij het goedvindt dat ik een of enkele foto's op wikipedia plaats en ik geef uitleg over wikipedia. Soms wordt de goedkeuring geweigerd. --Havang(nl) (talk) 07:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Ik heb naar eigen inzicht een paar foto’s ge-upload en ik verwacht in deze gevallen geen problemen. Vragen om goedkeuring is soms moeilijk. Wie is beslissingsbevoegd? Tevens is men zeer huiverig om iets zwart op wit vast te leggen. Mondeling iets goedvinden voor fair-use zal geen probleem zijn. Maar als de foto’s worden gebruikt voor het commercieel verkopen van ansichtkaarten of het gebruik op posters met een uitgesproken politieke boodschap is wat anders.

Commons:Deletion_requests/Template:ITTF (deleted by you)

Hi! One question regarding Commons:Deletion_requests/Template:ITTF (deleted by you). So you don't deem the permission statement on the ITTF website as sufficient (bold quote in the first DR)?

example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Liu_Guoliang.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1 was from http://www.ittf.com/ittf_pictures/Photo_Enlarged.asp?ID=3972&

I am just asking because we still have several images relying on this permission sentence from the website itself. Also some on enwp. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 21:53, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Geograph bot and multichillbot problems

Please see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Batch_uploading/Geograph#Problem_with_geographic_categories

Both bots have related (but different) issues mainly related to adding lots of files to "town and village" categories - that is utlimately counterproductive - since the whole categories need to be cleaned (no easy way to tell which are right or wrong) - the problem is that both the bots make mistakes. Your bot's main problem is that it is adding many files to categories of which the files are already in subcategories eg Category:Hambleton has many files in which should not be there.

Here's the sort of thing your bot gets wrong - [1]

I'm suggesting that geograph bot either use maintenence categories, or a geographic method based on actual boundary data, or to stop until fixed.

I'm not sure how responsible your bot is - I've seen it make some mistakes but I think Geograpbot is making the most errors. Please respond on the linked page if your bot is part of the problem. Imgaril (talk) 19:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop the bot adding this. Imgaril (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I've requested that the bots (Geograph, and MultichillBot) be stopped until the junking of geographical articles is fixed/addressed/stopped. Please see Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#User:BotMultichillT.Imgaril (talk) 17:03, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Walton, Surrey, images

Hi it's just a polite note i noticed a couple of images you said you were finding a better category for, clearly images for somewhere in Surrey, yet you added Walton, Liverpool, category, to this. Also you did the same for Everton somewhere in Bedfordshire, to Everton, in Liverpool (Like the football club). I'm not sure why? Have had to remove these images from Walton, Liverpool & Everton, Liverpool Babydoll0409 (talk) 11:20, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I've actually noticed your name appearing on a few re-categorised images which are recategorised incorrectly. All these are from the Liverpool area. Can you please refrain from doing this? Babydoll0409 (talk) 11:32, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
Please can you stop recategorising uncategorised images relating to Liverpool as West Derby or Walton can you not just simply categorise them as Liverpool? I would appreciate a response as your edits are still happeningBabydoll0409 (talk) 14:17, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Wikimania/Flickr

Hi,

I saw that your bot took all the pictures from our Flickr stream - that's great! But he mix all into one category, not into sets like flickr, not into the right category ("Images from Wikimania 2011 organization team) and without the Template:Wikimania2011-License... Can anything can be done to change that? --Itzike (talk) 18:25, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Itzike, is that tracker category and {{Wikimania2011-License}} really needed? People will just sort out the category I guess. Upload is very slow at the moment so I rather not kill it. I created Commons:Flickr batch uploading/Wikimania 2011 so that we can easily get a lot of Wikimania 2011 to Commons. Multichill (talk) 19:05, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Multichill/Archives/2011!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

"Trying to find a better category"

CAN YOU STOP UNVIELING IMAGES HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE TO CATEGORIES THAT DO NOT BELONG TO THE IMAGES YOU ARE IDENTIFYING. Image for "View South along Berry Street from the corner of Bold Place" in Liverpool is in Liverpool city centre and you added Toxteth and Dingle "IRELAND" on some kind of assumption basis. Please if you have to can you just add Liverpool? Only you are also pulling up files that are nothing to do with Liverpool. I realise this is known as a bot but you are the controller you need to look at this. You are being very ignorant in not responding to my earlier messages. Can you figure away around this as your edits are becoming quite a pest. Babydoll0409 (talk) 20:42, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for you message. As you can see my talk page has become a random dumping ground so I sometimes miss messages. I'll have a look at it. Multichill (talk) 22:01, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi - just drop a quick comment on this:

The Dingle error is the result of a disambiguation error.

However, Toxteth is result of the inadequacy of the underlying databases: Neither have a distinct location for "the city centre of Liverpool", so instead match to neighbouring districts such as Toxteth. I'd say the database (and nearest point routine) are likely to be completely unreliable within cities, and its better to place the files in the city category (or <subject> in city) categories only.

One suggestion, that should be easy to implement, is make the bot ignore any <suburb> locations on OSM, and those marked as <fcode>PPLX</fcode> on geonames. IMO, the best solution is be to switch the localisation from a "nearest point" routine to something that looks at boundaries - but that would take more time/effort. I'll make a more detailed post on why that's a good thing to the batch page later.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:41, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

WLM database - Sweden

Hi,

I saw in the statistics section of Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Monuments_database that it says that 100% of the Swedish entries have coordinates. As can be seen from e.g. sv:Lista över kyrkliga kulturminnen i Skåne län#Svedala_kommun this isn't the case. I'm therefore worried that the list to database process is misinterpreting the empty fields. /Lokal_Profil 16:42, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Multichill,

thanks for your efforts to commons. Especially your bots are very useful. RE rillke questions? 17:19, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons wizard barnstar
Had to pick one image, but this is for all the work you’ve done here. For your bots running day and night. For your batch uploads and their countless images. For the i18n and TranslateWiki. For your devotion to Wikimedia Commons and your integrity. For mentoring me. For your awesomeness. Jean-Fred (talk) 17:54, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Category move?

I'm not sure if it's worth a huge amount of effort, but I think at some point Category:Images from the National Archives and Records Administration should probably be renamed to Category:Media from the National Archives and Records Administration, as it includes some video and sound files, and will hopefully soon include a lot more. The other NARA categories are also named that way ("Media contributed by..." "Media from NARA needing categories..."). It'll involve changing a few of the templates, too.

I agree. Just tagged it with {{Move}}. The actual move is easy (bot + template change). Multichill (talk) 18:26, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Spanish structured lists

Hi!. I have some questions about the bot and the structured lists of wikipedia-es. We have some lists on wp-es that are in other wikis too like wp-gl and wp-ca, and we wanted that the bot don't read the wp-es lists of some provinces. How can we get this?, is it possible?, with some no-robot command perphaps?. Bye, --Elisardojm (talk) 00:31, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Where was this category re-organisation discussed? There is no tagging of it or linkage to any discussion. This is a massive change to a large structure: "Vehicles of" and "Vehicles in" are not the same thing at all. The same thing came up in March and was rejected, as it was combining and confusing these two sub-trees, one for manufacture and one for photo location.
