Categorising nl: pronunciation files

Hi Niels, I am honored to be your Commons-helper. :)

I just had a bit of a look at the structure of Category:Pronunciation. The categories for each language (eg Category:Dutch pronunciation) appear to basically just be big dumping grounds. So, I am not sure if it is necessary to categorise as you suggested, breaking up into province categories. Probably what I would do is dump them all in Category:Dutch pronunciation, then make an article/"gallery" page/whatever-you-call-it with links to the files. I think this would be a more succint way to summarise the information. And the article name can be in Dutch, too (it should also be in Category:Dutch pronunciation). Have a look at English pronunciation as an example to how you could set it out (also note the {{Audio}} tag). You could also just link to them in the regular way, eg. (in the case of media files, linking normally is the same as using : with images - it just links to the image description page).

I very much doubt people dive into the X Pronunciation categories looking for a file - I'm sure they check the relevant articles in wikipedias, and copy any links they find. So doing this will make Dutch pronuncation vastly more organised than any of the other folders. So, well done! :)

Anyway, yes, a bot should do the categorising - but the page will probably be have to be done by hand. With a bit of "search and replace" it shouldn't be too hard, I hope. That could be done while the files are waiting to be categorised. Now, as to finding a bot. Perhaps you could contact one of the owners of the bots listed here: Category:Wikipedia bots? (I'm sure there are other bots not listed here, but this is a start, at least).

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. :) cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 04:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Also, I just found {{Audio2}}, which you might prefer the style of. pfctdayelise (translate?) 05:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure if I understand all of your suggestions, but I've just created Category:Dutch pronunciation (municipality names) as a subcat of Category:Dutch pronunciation. I intend to have someone with a robot (from the list you so kindly provided) put all the files in this subcategory. Good idea or not? NielsF 05:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Update: I can't see my subcategory in the category:Dutch pronunciation. What's wrong? NielsF 05:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

You couldn't see the category because category:Dutch pronunciation is overpopulated (has more than 200 members). This is a bug which is very annoying. To force your category to list on the front page (hopefully), I changed it like this (on your category's page):

[[Category:Dutch pronunciation]] -> [[Category:Dutch pronunciation|*]]

That forces it to list under the "*" rather than "D" where it would be trying to. If you clicked "(next 200)" a few times, you would have seen your subcategory. You can also always see all the subcategories by using a tree tool: [1]

What you're planning to do will be fine, although I personally think it is easier and more informative to display more information in an article form. The bad thing about that, though, is that they don't automatically update. So it's six of one, half a dozen of the other. :) pfctdayelise (translate?) 06:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Seeing how the article worked out, I must say that I find it to be the most elegant and simple solution (article listing all files under a special subcat), so I'll forget about the whole bot-thing. Made some improvements to the article (2 provinces weren't properly listed and added multilingual description). Thanks very much for your help! Cheers, NielsF 16:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Although in general it is a good idea to have both (in case your image, usually, gets removed from a gallery page), with pronuncation files, and I guess this is a very limited set that will ever be needed (not like anyone can just add a new one!), I guess it's not so important. Teamwork, eh?! :) pfctdayelise (translate?) 17:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

(Also, did you know that Australia was called New Holland for a time, when it was first discovered by Europeans? And of course, there's our close neighbours, New Zeaeland... :)) pfctdayelise (translate?) 17:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, knew that (you forgot Arnhemland by the way :-)). I'm a history enthusiast (especially when it comes to Dutch history). Back to business: I saw this [2] on my watchlist, does that mean that you still intend to categorise the files? If so, will you put a request out to a bot operator or would you like me to do it? By the way, good move removing the TOC, the map to the right is by far better and easier to use. Cheers, NielsF 20:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I would categorise them. Yes, I would like you to contact a bot owner, please. :) Or if you don't want to, let me know, and instead I will delete the category and just put the article in Category:Dutch pronunciation. pfctdayelise (translate?) 02:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Allrighty then. I'll contact a bot owner after Quichot has uploaded all the correct files. Thanks again for your help! NielsF 03:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Horatius Cocles.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Horatius Cocles.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. skINMATE 21:39, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Commons and nl: again

Hiya, sorry to trouble you with this, I've been an admin now for just about a month and a bit now on nl.wikipedia, but I still see a lot of what I think is commons-related activity done by anonymous users, who don't respond to messages on their talk pages and in general don't even try to make an effort to use your translations or something like that. I'm all for Commons, because figuring out copyright status on a local project is hard enough and I think that Commons should be at least a little bit more qualified than us locals ;-), but what's so hard about at least making an account with at least a redirect or other direct link to Commons on other projects? It takes 1 minute of work for each account, but at least makes it easy for people in a local project to identify with the user. I personally use a Firefox toolbar, which makes it even easier, but with cookies enabled, if you have an account on a project, it's just 2 seconds of work (provided that it's wikipedia, not lohipedia :-)). Just my two cents on this issue. NielsF 03:43, 18 May 2006 (UTC) (reposted here from User talk:pfctdayelise to keep the discussion in one place)

Hey NeilsF... thanks for your message. This is not an easy issue. I am not inclined to ask Commons people to register on all wikipedias, for the following reasons:

• the universal login is supposed (!) to be coming soon, which will remove the need for this.
• there are simply too many projects for it to be realistic for Commons users to register in them all. Over 100 wikipedias, then there's the wikibooks, wikinews, wikispecies, wikisource...
• there is no way we could require/force Commons users to register local accounts. Even if we stated that they had to, there is nothing stopping them from ignoring us and continuing as normal.

However none of these points overrides the right of your project to run it as you see it. For example you could:

• Develop and use a boilerplate "if you are from Commons, please identify yourself/explain what you're doing/use the translations" template to put on IP talk pages.
• Make it a policy to revert any changes that are not explained (I once had a change reverted, even using a translation and a link to my commons page!)
• Block any repeat offenders who do not respond to your requests

I think these are reasonable actions that you are well within your right to do regardless of what the action is and whether or not they're a Commons editor.

If it is the PNG/SVG replacement thing again, I would simply revert and semi-protect any such changes. If it's images being removed because they're going to be deleted, well there are two things here: one, if you revert such changes, you'll probably end up with a redlink. Two, it's probably a Commons admin doing this, so if the image is deleted soon after, you can probably assume it's them and then contact them directly on their Commons talk page to ask them to identify themselves and explain their actions. (The direct approach is usually the most efficient, I've found, although it is quite a bit of work for you. If you want to me to approach people, I don't mind.)

What do you think? I think at the moment this problem is easier to resolve at your end than ours, because you simply have more control over what happens in your wiki than we do over all wikis.

cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 04:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello Niels - please have a loot at CommonsTicker - that tool will hopefully help to integrate commons activity more with "local" projects, and allow local users and admins to do some of the cleanup work required. Regards -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 11:36, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for your answers ptfcdayelise & Duesentrieb. It's just that nl.wikipedia is the 6th largest wikipedia, and it's growing quite fast at the moment, so we're kinda swamped with patrolling anonymous edits etc. I think that Duesentrieb's tool might come in very handy, I'll certainly keep track of the test on German Wikipedia. On a completely different note: where can I request interface translations for the dutch interface of Commons? Some of the tabs like edit, discussion etc. are completely different from nl.wikipedia, which might create some confusion. NielsF 22:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

It's in live testing now: de:Wikipedia:CommonsTicker. Enjoy :)

As to interface strings: find them on Special:Allmessages, and make a nice list of name -> desired value somewhere. Then grab hold of an admin and threaten/bribe him or her into changing all the messages :) -- Duesentrieb^(?!) 22:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

If you have any other issues you want to raise, well, I'll put your talk page on my watchlist. :) CommonsTicker is indeed a great development. pfctdayelise (translate?) 03:00, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

re: Special:Contributions/Otto Normalverbraucher

I never reply on my own talk page :)

He seems to be nominating images that he himself has uploaded, so I guess his understanding of the copyright law has changed. Since he appears to be a German speaker I will ask a German-speaking admin to contact him. pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and CommonsTicker is indeed going to be super awesome. I hope NL.wp is a very early adopter! :) --pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:13, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I do though :-P. "We"'ve already put in a request for the ticker with Duesentrieb along with zh: it: gl: and es:. I'm looking forward to implementation of the tool, because it makes commons more transparent for all users, which can only be a positive development. It's a pity there's such a low participation from nl.wikipedia, but as soon as the "SVG-pushing thing" is over in people's minds and CommonsTicker is implemented I'll be happy to show nl.wikipedia users the way to Commons. Heck, I might have to become an admin here! Cheers, NielsF 01:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

On another note; is there a contribution limit and/or months active limit for becoming an admin here? It's just that I don't have enough time at the moment and I don't have enough knowledge of Commons procedures, but I know/understand at least 5 languages, so I might come in handy? NielsF 01:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I think you would make a great admin. If you want me to nominate you, I would be more than happy to (or you might prefer to self-nominate). You have shown great patience and willingness to work with others over the whole NL.wp saga. The only formal requirements are 100 edits and 2 months, which I imagine you passed a long time ago. Many admins do quite little work here (which is sad for us, but all I mean is you don't have to suddenly spend all your time here). We recently accepted User:Svdmolen as an admin here, and he is a Dutch speaker. More are definitely, definitely, welcome. And it would be quite handy to have your Italian skills - at the moment it is more or less poor User:Red devil 666 all on his own!

As always if you have any questions about policies or procedures I am more than happy to try and help - it is also good because it lets us know where our documentation needs improving. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 02:16, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Art painting duplicates

This has cropped up a few times. They are notoriously hard to choose between (for example, I think Image:GuidoNessus.jpg is really garish). I would not use any tag at all (because we don't have a suitable one), just simply write on both of them: "A different image of this painting is available at Image:Example.jpg." Also in this case the one you tagged as "bad" has a much, much higher resolution than the other one. So it's easiest to just not make any choice at all and leave that up to the local editors. pfctdayelise (translate?) 16:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Help on image upload : search, taggs, categories, galleries, ....

Hi Niels,

last time you asked me to put category and change the name of the pictures I had uplaoded. It s done and I have put other ones. But some stuff troubles me:

1) what is the difference between categories and galleries ? I only put a category tag to my pictures. there are aslo articles in Commons. What the difference with the articles from Wikipedia

2) how does the search engin function : it seems to me very complicated and very little successfull. typing for example "venise" (= "Venezia" in french) give me nothing, or redirect me on a page with search galleries categories and lots of other stuff.

3) suppose I m wrtting an aricle in Wikipedia on "Venise", how can I choose from the picture from commons ?

4) appart the untagged pictures, do we found the whole pictures related to a subject in the category of this subject ?

5) I had to create an other account for commons (different from wikipedia) is it normal ?

6) I put here the screenshot of my contributions on Commons

. what does (top) mean ? why are some pictures twice in the contributions ?

Thanks a lot

You say in your profile you like to help, I might take it for granted !

see ya

--Bichot from Paris Wiki Commons 01:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

I checked again: looking for "venise" in wikipedia, I found the article. At the bottom there is a link to Commons "Venise". But in ths big category/gallery/article (?), my picture do not appear  !

thx

--Bichot from Paris Wiki Commons 01:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, long question, long answer:

1. ) Categories and articles (also called galleries) both have the function to group images of the same subject together. The difference is that categories are automatically generated by searching for the [[Category:... tag in image pages, and form a hierarchic structure together with other categories, so they are searchable. Articles/galleries have to be manually edited. The difference with Wikipedia articles is that Commons-articles are a way of collecting pictures together, not primarily for giving encyclopedic information.
2. ) Yes, the search engine works badly. That's a well-known problem also with Wikipedia. I've created a redirect Venise, which brings you automatically to Venezia. Another way to search for images is via the category structure. For example you could go to Category:Italy then to Category:Cities in Italy, then to Category:Venezia. Note: all category names are in English only (although geographical names are usually in their "motherlanguage")!
3. ) You would have to search Commons for pictures in Category:Venezia or Venezia, it's sometimes hard, I know.
4. ) Ideally, yes. Unfortunately not everyone categorizes his/her pictures or puts them in galleries. Sometimes there are also duplicate categories and/or articles which contain some pictures.
5. ) Yes this is normal, unfortunately. I have about 12 accounts for different wikipedias and Commons. There's a project going on called the "single login" which would eliminate this need (however your username should be the same on each wiki and you should set an email-address for the account).
6. ) Top means that you're the last person to have edited the page. Some pages appear twice or more times because you have made more than one edit on those pages. Note that your contributions is not the same as your uploads. You can view your uploads by going to "My contributions" and clicking on "Logs" behind your username. There's also an external tool: [3] which gives your pictures as a gallery.
7. ) Your image doesn't show because you categorized it, but you're looking at the article. In Category:Venezia your images do show up. If you want your images to show up in the article, you have to edit Venezia#San_Giorgio_Maggiore and add your pictures there.

I hope I've answered your questions. If you have any other questions feel free to pose them in French as I assume that's your native language (although I might answer in English if the questions are difficult, I understand French very well, but writing it is more difficult for me). You can also set the interface to French by specifying this in Special:Preferences under language, if that's more convenient to you. Au revoir, NielsF 11:46, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your help. As you answer quickly and well I may ask for your help in the future again ;-) I am french that s right, but writing in english can t be bad for me. I can also write in german ( right now I m studying in karlsruhe, germany). take care. --Bichot from Paris Wiki Commons 08:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Category:Dutch pronunciation (municipality names)

Hey,

AWB is probably set for Wikipedia only. Try asking the developers, I can't imagine it would take much to adapt it to Commons.

Although, I actually don't see a huge amount of value in sorting pronunciation files. I mean it would be useful, Category:Dutch pronunciation has over 200 items, but I don't get the impression that people browse sound-file categories in the same way they do image-file categories (not that there is a strict distinction, but most files in most cats are images, and most files in Pronuncation cats are sound files).

Try it out, though, and if AWB is useful let me know and I'll try it out too. I haven't used it... maybe our category maintainers will find it helpful. pfctdayelise (translate?) 06:12, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

What are you talking about at the deletion request of Image:TotalRaisinBran.jpg, Image:GoldenGrahams.jpg, Image:CinnamonToastCrunch.jpg? If this is your sense of humour, ok, but what's the point? Please keep in mind that Commons is a multilingual project so not everybody will understand this (if this is just sarcasm). NielsF 03:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

What I'm saying is that I made a mistake by uploading those pictures in the first place, because they didn't belong on the Commons. It's not just a mistake, either -- it's a violation of policy. Violations of policy have to be punished, even if I'm the one violating policy. This is not sarcasm -- it's a statement that the policies must be enforced. --Elkman 03:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Commons-l subscription

Hello NielsF,

as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.

If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message.

Re:Vancouver

See User talk:Cacophony. Apparently, he was changing the category names without discussion or consensus. Also, the old category ("Vancouver, British Columbia") is a redirect to "Vancouver" anyhow, so I'm bypassing the redirect and using the already-established category name.

degraded vs. demoted

Which do you mean exactly? (Re: recently "degraded" to admin status.) ;) Siebrand 12:17, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Is there a difference, I'd say they were synonyms? Both mean that I was lowered in rank, don't they? NielsF 13:00, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Letterlijk wel, in context betekent 'to degrade' meer 'aftakelen'. Dat zou zonde zijn ;) Siebrand 07:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Toch maar even nagekeken. Degrade kan wel in de context waarin jij het gebruikt. Het is alleen ambigu en daardoor zelf erg leuk :) degrade vs. demote op Webster (met vervelende pop-ups). Siebrand 07:26, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah op die fiets, ik wist idd wel dat degrade ook nog andere betekenissen had, maar demote is minder ambigu idd. Die melding zal ik binnenkort eens vervangen. Bedankt voor het meedenken. NielsF 12:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your message. (a) I thought that PNG was preferred, though I didn't know why.

Atomium

Geen probleem Niels, Ik zag de hele discussie over het atomium pas nadat ik die foto's had geupload en de pagina had aangemaakt. Ik had er al een comment bijgezet dat het wat mij betreft direct verwijderd mag worden mocht die copyright ook gelden voor commons. Overigens staat op de engelse wiki wel gewoon een foto van het atomium. Hoe dan ook, we moeten geen gedoe krijgen met die SABAM, hoe belachelijk dit hele copyright gebeuren op gebouwen ook is. Joris1919 23:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Mischien is het wel een idee om de pagina Atomium te laten bestaan, met dezelfde waarschuwing als in de categorie. Die had ik namelijk niet gezien, anders maakt een volgende gebruiker deze mischien ook weer aan met zijn eigen foto's erin. Joris1919 23:39, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Goed idee op zich. Op het moment vooral moe en morgen bruiloft + hele dag reizen, dus we zien wel wat er op de verwijderlijst gebeurt. NielsF 23:50, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Nou ze hebben in ieder geval mooi weer met de bruiloft :-) (of ga je zelf trouwen?) Ik heb mijn suggestie op de delete request pagina erbij gezet en alvast die waarschuwing gekopieerd. Groet, Joris1919 00:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Verkeerde foto geupload

Hi Niels,

een tijdje geleden maakte je me attent op het badname sjabloon voor fotos met een verkeerde naam. Is er ook een sjabloon voor wanneer ik een verkeerde foto heb geupload?

alvast bedankt,

21:56, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Hoi Teun, hoe bedoel je dat precies? Een foto van een vogel onder de naam Kat.jpg (dan kan je dus de foto van de vogel onder vogel.jpg uploaden en kat.jpg taggen met {{badname|Image:Vogel.jpg}})?; als het een foto van de verkeerde vogel (foto is van vogel a onder de naam vogel b.jpg) was kan je natuurlijk de foto gewoon overschrijven met een nieuwe versie. Anders kan je altijd nog algemeen {{Speedy}} (ongeveer {{nuweg}}) plakken met een toelichting erbij, of een berichtje achterlaten bij mij of een andere moderator. Als ik je niet goed begrepen heb zeg het maar. NielsF 22:30, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Speedy lijkt me prima, bedankt! Badname kan niet, ik had gewoon een verkeerde foto geselecteerd toen ik ging uploaden, en deze heeft een slechte kwaliteit.

Errore di upload

Ciao Niels, ho visto che sei un admin e quindi ti segnalo che questa notte ho sbagliato a caricare un'immagine (questa). Ho apposto il template speedydelete con la motivazione "upload error". Se ci sono problemi ti prego di farmelo sapere e provvederò a correggere. Grazie e buon lavoro, --XXXL☮^®? 13:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, l'ho fatto. Puoi anche caricare la versione corretta se clicci su (is that correct? en:by clicking on) Carica una nuova versione di questo file alla pagina dell'immagine, se l'immagine sia rotta, o quando hai soltanto sbagliato il nome dell'immagine ma l'immagine stesso è buono, inserisci lo template {{Badname}}: {{badname|Image:Nome dell'imagine col nome corretto}}. Anche a te buon lavoro, NielsF 13:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Grazie Niels. "Clicchi su" è corretto :) Ciao, --XXXL☮^®? 16:14, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Le immagini che hai scaricato

Per quanto riguarda le versioni di Image:True Flag of Italy.svg che hai scaricato, nota che non hanno entrambe la stiscia centrale bianca (pura):

• l'ultima versione ha bianco puro
• quella precedente tende al blu/grigio (il monitor del mio protatile non riesce a mostrare la differenza, il monitor CRT del fisso sì)

Grazie per la protezione. Avrei comunque preferito che non si rendesse necessaria. Reisio è un maleducato, e rimpiango il tempo che ho sprecato a spigargli con sincerità la mia posizione sull'argomento.

A presto.--FlagUploader 14:04, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Last days of Pompeii

Hey NeilsF,

Gah! Like cockroaches, some debates never die!!

The reason we can't put an OTRS ticket # there is because no OTRS ticket exists. Presumably the permission is in Danny's private email somewhere. When the last debate happened, I contacted him on meta: for more explicit permission, just to end it, and he ignored me. So, make what you will of that.

Flags & Lame

Hi, - The flickrlickr uploads were not caught up in the usual licence changing problems this time - they were flagged because they are art/statue/sculpture in a public place in the US, which I didn't realise was not ok (since it is ok in the UK & most of Europe). I don’t know why they haven’t been deleted yet, since I haven’t disagreed with the problems. The flag situation just seemed bizarre to me! The first discussion was fair enough, regular dispute about a colour, but the second time it came up they both had their own versions and yet were reverting each other to the point that the images had to be protected! That just made me smile! I would certainly support a commons lame page - I am sure there have been plenty of other disputes on crazy little things that have happened in the past that deserve to be documented!

Charging Bull: Public art ?

Hello, NielsF. Thank you for letting me know of the problem with the image of the w:Charging Bull that I've uploaded. May I ask why ? I don't understand why it's not in the public domain considering that the creator deliberately dumped it on the public as an "guerilla art". I'm quite puzzled. -- PFHLai 16:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, a public work of art in the US is still protected by copyright, see Commons:Derivative works and User:Alx/Sandbox#USA (there are some useful links there). For buildings there's an explicit exemption in the copyright act, but not for sculptures. I don't think that the way of dumping it on the public matters. But hey, IANAL, just acting to the best of my knowledge and according to Commons policies; if you can refute this, please do so, because I hate deleting good quality pictures. NielsF 17:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. It's gone now. Never mind. (I may re-upload if I can come up with a legal way around the copyright problem.) -- PFHLai 21:51, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Will you arbitrate?

Hey NielsF,

I have a request. :) As you may have noticed there is some conflict between User:Juiced lemon and User:Martorell about the name of Catalan-related categories. I think it won't be solved between them so I suggested that they accept a 3rd party to act as arbitrator. (Commons:Village_pump#Arbitration.3F) An arbitrator should listen to what both sides have to say and make some comment about what future action from both of them should be. Both parties have to agree to abide by what the arbitrator says, even if they disagree with it.

I think you are a fair administrator and will listen to both sides evenly, so I want to request that you act as arbitrator. If you think you can do it, please let me know. :)

In my opinion the arbitrator should:

• have a good understanding of English (or the discourse language to be used, at the moment I think it's English)
• be honest and upfront about their pre-existing opinions and biases on this matter. Therefore, if you already have some strong opinions about Catalan politics, I hope and trust that you will tell me and decline this request.
• read existing debates on talk pages, at Village pump, etc
• read the corresponding Commons policies - and this histories (policies are quite open to change here, not fixed in stone)
• take further input from the parties if they want, or possibly ask them questions, something like that
• make recommendations for both principal parties' behaviour in future - which they must abide by, if they agree to the arbitration at the start
• probably some other stuff I haven't thought of, but I'm just making this up so far, so, yeah.

Let me know what you think. It is not really fun or easy but I have an impression that you are even-handed and will take both sides' concerns into consideration. cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 00:26, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello,

I am not surprised that you are confused because the policy is not that clear. So I think that is OK. Martorell is indeed an admin and a higher standard of behaviour can be expected. Nonetheless, an arbitrator is not there to judge behaviour. Someone can be doing the right (correct) thing, but carrying it out in a way that doesn't conform to wikiquette. It's kind of a separate problem. Admins of course should not use their power to carry out personal vendettas or goals, but to enforce policy in a reasonable way. Edit warring is always bad, but you generally would think at least one party has to be correct.

I guess I see arbitration as finding a situation that satisfies the concerns of each party. What is the aim each party is trying to fulfill by changing a category name? Are there other ways of satisfying those aims? (I hope so, otherwise we are at a deadlock. :)) Does nl.wp have an arbitration system? en.wp does, but I am not very familiar with it. pfctdayelise (translate?) 05:41, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Good. Consider yourself arbitrator, then. I would make a subpage (of Commons:Administrators or your userpage) to collect arguments and ideas etc.

I think it is best to conduct it in English, since I am pretty sure it is a second language of both Juiced lemon and Martorell... that's the "fairest" thing to do. I think Martorell will accept you. I don't see any reason why not. pfctdayelise (translate?) 08:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Camera

Hoi Niels, ik heb enige dagen geleden iets aan een collega van je gevraagd. Omdat die blijkbaar niet reageerd: zou jij eens kunnen kijken naar Image:Moving-camera.gif, vanwaar dat een copyvio was? Die afbeelding stond immers al heel op Commons, en het is daarom niet denkbeeldig dat men ze overgenomen heeft van hier ipv andersom. Mvg, en alvast bedankt, --Tuvic 19:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hoi Tuvic, nav de commonsticker op nl: heb ik ook geprobeerd te achterhalen wáárom het verwijderd was, hetgeen ik vaak doe; maar heb compleet niets gevonden van de bron van de afbeelding. Ze zou van crimethinc.com komen, maar die site leverde niets op wat leek op die afbeelding. De verwijderreden copyvio is misschien te ver gezocht, maar wegens "geen info" zoals op nl.wikipedia ook geldt had deze ook hier verwijderd kunnen worden. De enige info was: Public domain image from crimethinc, published intentionally with no copyright notice by crimethinc. com. {PD-author|crimethinc.com}. Ik kan er niets beters van maken helaas. Groet, NielsF 02:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Waarschijnlijk was het wel een copyvio. Ik heb de afbeeldingen nu gevonden [5], en op de site staat inderdaad niets over in het publiek domein vallen. Toch bedankt voor het opzoeken. --Tuvic 09:57, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, jij kan beter zoeken dan ik blijkbaar... Maar inderdaad niet genoeg info om de afbeelding te behouden, helaas. NielsF 13:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Locked Split category: Anasazi/Ancient pueblo people

As you may recall, you locked these two categories from editing after I made the notification on Vp that an edit war was going on over them.

There has been no further arguments made about why the naming chosen by English WP should not be used. Category talk:Ancient pueblo people, Category talk:Anasazi, and en:Talk:Ancient Pueblo Peoples.

Since the term "Anasazi" is recognized as pejorative in the fr, nl, en, and es wikis, and due to the NPOV policy of Commons, Anasazi is not an appropriate category name on Commons.

There have already been complaints about not being able to find all contents of this category due to the split. I propose that the page be unlocked so that I may restore the category to Ancient pueblo people. Hopefully the opposing party will have cooled off and had a chance to reflect on the arguments on these talk pages. -Mak 16:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

It actually was me that added the info on nl: after the dispute here, but hey. I've unlocked the categories, but'll keep watching them. NielsF 17:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure what the next step is if he reverts, but here goes. -Mak 22:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

The other party has re created the split category, refusing to move all of the contents of the category. Regardless which party has the preferable name, this status is unacceptable. Do you wish to involve yourself in this dispute, or shall I solicit for assistance towards resolving this on VP? -Mak 17:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I'll involve myself to a certain extent: I'll move the articles into one category and make a soft redirect of Anasazi. Furthermore I'll try to convince Huebi to accept the status quo (that everything is ancient pueblo) but won't protect anymore because it's useless and I'll ask another admin to look at it.NielsF 21:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I will accept arbitration by any admin. I think there ought to be generalized practice on commons for resolving this class of naming issue. Thanks- I won't bug you any more about this.-Mak 03:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Question

Because the original author agreed to the deletion ( User_talk:Erin_Silversmith#deletion_request_image_.22horusauge.22 ), it seems OK to me. She might also think the deletion time is 5 days not 7, I think it's 5 on Wikipedia. I don't see what could be controversial about this... so I don't see a problem with it. But in general, I agree, closing debates one has opened is not a great habit. pfctdayelise (translate?) 04:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Deletion

Please delete Image:Sistema_lacrimal.gif. It has been properly listed for over a week and the consensus is to delete. — Erin (talk) 03:53, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm trying to solve a (potential) conflict, you might be right in that the image should be deleted but there's someone contesting that and I feel contributors are worth more than one .svg. NielsF 03:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

It's a matter of policy. — Erin (talk) 04:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Quoth Erik Möller (citing revised Commons policy): "'Obsolete' images should indeed no longer be deleted except where they're orphaned and there's clearly no opposition." (diff) —Lifeisunfair 05:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Are you going to spam that irrelevant quote everywhere? — Erin (talk) 06:38, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with your assertion that the quote is irrelevant, and I'm merely responding to comments that you posted within multiple discussions that appeared on my watchlist (which is fine, as these pages are likely to be read by different people). —Lifeisunfair 07:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Very very thank you NielsF, to understand me! The solution that I made for now is upload the image on http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imagem:SLoriginal2.png but I know it isn't a good solution. But, she cannot delete image there. I am just very sorry for Commons and other portuguese projects, because it lost a quality image replaced by a bad-copy svg version. I don't let my opinion again in this case, if the image will deleted here, no problem, the project lost a image but my Portuguese project continues with a beautiful and original image. FML ^hi 04:55, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

NielsF, please, if you can, delete Image:Sistema lacrimal.gif because I improve and made a PNG version better, with transparent background. Please, restore this: Image:SLoriginal.png version and put it to list of delete. FML ^hi 05:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Ola, FML, please wait until the original deletion request and the subsequent discussion have died down a bit. I've no interest in stirring up things by deleting and unprotecting at the moment. I'm actually trying to integrate the svg and the png at the moment to present a solution everyone can be happy with. But that won't be for today, it's too late already. Boa noite, NielsF 01:50, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I see that Erin has already improved the svg. NielsF 21:54, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Arbitration

Hey NielsF, Martorell has accepted you as arbitrator. He will be back home soon. Do you have ideas about how to run this? As a first point, I would remind them both that by agreeing to this, they agree to abide by the final decision and recommendations even if they disagree with that viewpoint, and that this is a ruling about the best way to organise the Commons, and says not very much (if anything) about ongoing political disputes. ie, this is not world peace, it's just Commons. pfctdayelise (translate?) 16:56, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

The timeline is maybe a little short, but then they're not writing an essay or anything. There are other users involved besides these 2 principal parties, so I think they should be invited to input something as well. But only if they were involved in the editing then, not just they would like to express an opinion about it. Should other people be bound by it? Yes. Of course it would make no sense to ban one user from a certain action and allow others to do so. pfctdayelise (translate?) 06:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Reverting your edits

Although you've been bold in trying to implement a new structure for the COM:DEL page, I don't like the fact you archived everything, even not yet closed debates. Therefore I've reverted your edits. I agree that the current structure is hard to work with, but your move was a little too bold for my taste. By archiving not yet closed debates, you take them out of sight and that'll probably mean they are never looked at again. Cheers, NielsF 23:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I do not understand this. I cant even load the page (properly) let alone discuss anything. All I did was move debates to the sub pages. The backlog, link clearly indicates further discussion is taking place.

Do as you wish but I'd like to note the "structure" I implimented had taken me several hours. I just like to point out I am less than happy. And current structure is imposible to work with.

request to hold off on Vigeland Sculpture Park image deletions

• I am in the process of moving these to the correct wikis.

• I'd like access to those which have been deleted so that they may be properly transfered.

• I am investigating a more proper tag than Fair Use, as for this class of image degradation of the image is not necessary since use in cases such as Wikipedias is fully permitted, but due to Commons rules is not permitted (As I understand the debate- restrictions on commercial use in this case).

As a result of this post made by Juiced Lemon to Joan Puigbarcell, I wouldn't be agree if this user could take part, because he didn't intervened in the discussed changes. Anyway, if you consider that his participation is needed, I will respect your decision, but I think that the parts should only be invited from you. I haven't published my arguments yet because I'm still writing it. My skills in English isn't very fine, and I want to feel sure that I express all things in the way I mean. --Joanot Martorell ✉ 00:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Dupe replacing on nl.wiki

Hey, I see you added a translation to my message on nl.wiki; thanks for that. :) I was wondering if you could look into something for me, it looks complicated. Image:Italy.Province.Bolzano - Alto Adige.COA.png is a low-resolution duplicate of Image:Südtirol Wappen.PNG; which is only used in nl:Bozen-Zuid-Tirol. However, the use of it on the Dutch page is in a template that apparently uses images in a standard file name format. As Image:Südtirol Wappen.PNG is very widely used, it seems daft to keep the other one, but it cannot be orphaned because of the NL template. Any suggestions?--Nilfanion 21:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

SVG question

Hello, I've recently seen your work on new svg maps for Uruguayan departments and their capitals. I'd like, if you give me permission to modify your images, to make similar maps for other cities in the country. If you are willing to give me permission, could you also point me to a good (and free) svg editor, since the one I've tried (Inkscape) is not working for me (I can't open nor create working svg files with it), or to some kind of svg plugin for Corel Draw 9? (since that's my main program for drawing). Thanks in advance. Jordevi 01:09, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your tip! Now I'd like to know if you'd be able to make 19 new blank maps, one for each department (not having dots for capital cities), for me or anybody else to place the dots to show the location of the different cities. And also, do you know how can I apply transparency to an image (the dot I'm using), so I don't have that white "frame" all around it? Jordevi 21:47, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. I'm in no big hurry for those maps, so I can wait one or two days if you can't make them sooner. As for your questions, well, I don't know whether a blank map for the whole country would be best than several highlighting each department. So, you can do whatever you think will be best. As for the transparency issues I was referring to, I am concerned over that white square that appears around the dot I've placed in the map, which I think makes it more difficult to be seen:

Montevideo

It wouldn't be that noticeable on a lighter background, but it doesn't look that well over the red background it has here. Cheers. (Sorry I know no greetings in Dutch, but I could try in German or Danish next time if that's ok with you :P) Jordevi 02:06, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, sorry to bother you again, but don't you happen to have any news on this? Met vriendelijke groet Jordevi 04:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I can wait (I've been quite busy lately, so waiting should not be a problem now :) ). Then I'll have figure out a way to make that dot look good, but I'm sure I'll come up with something (creating a new one with red background, or something like that, maybe). Jordevi 15:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi again. Well, I changed my mind, for the time being. I've been checking some other city infoboxes, and I came across this one, used on Swiss cities articles. The fact they could place not just a dot, but the city name as well, over the map is something I like, since it doesn't leave that much dead space. Do you have any idea on how to adapt that system to Uruguayan articles? (I'll do my own research, but it'd be great if you already knew about that) Jordevi 17:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

And nevermind once more. I figured it out myself. Thanks for all the help! Jordevi 19:23, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion request Image:Monsterscore.jpg

Hi NielsF. I've seen you have reverted the Image:Monsterscore.jpg for improper deletion request, image is used to illustrate a subject on nl:. I don't know if it is used in the nl Wikipedia, but I think a photo with a girl and a scoreboard titled "Monsterscore" is not apropiated and shows no respect to her. MontanNito 23:12, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok. The image is on nl:Monsterscore. I'm not sure whether I would deem it inappropriate, however the main reason for the revert was that you didn't complete the deletion procedure by listing it at COM:DEL. Please see the introduction at COM:DEL for how to properly nominate an image for deletion. Cheers, NielsF talk/overleg/discussion/discussione 02:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

re: Question

Hey. Nice to see you again. COM:A says: inactive administrators may have their access removed..."Inactive" means no edits in the past 6 months and fewer than 50 edits in the last year. So now you know what you need to do to avoid being desysopped.

What "clean-out" exactly is Siebrand doing? I hope you will work with him to avoid ill-will towards Commons developing. I always worry about this. --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 04:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Regarding "strictness" - I believe this is typical in a wiki's natural development. Early on, everything is less strict. Gradually things become stricter. Siebrand may need a few more people on his side if he wants to push the "strictness" faster than its natural growth. Reminding people of our copyright and moral obligations to provide only material known to be truly free, may help.

I really like nl:Wikipedia:Upload, it's a great idea. I personally haven't noticed an increase in problems with Dutch users. Yann or WarX might be able to tell you more than me (I think they do more RC type patrolling). --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 08:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Help.

I have uploaded several SVG files to replace existing raster images on both the Commons and on Wikipedia. Some I uploaded months ago. However, none of them have been rendered as raster images by the MediaWiki engine for use on pages, so whenever a prerendered version of an SVG I uploaded is supposed to appear on a page, only the alt text shows up. I don't know what's going on. For an example of this problem, go to Image:Hyperbola.svg. Jesin 01:16, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Strange, strange. Problem still not solved I see... try the helpdesk or the Village pump, I'm not that knowledgeable about the quirks of the SVG-rendering software, I'm afraid. NielsF talk/overleg/discussion/discussione 08:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Vertalingen Commons:Upload/nl

Hey Nielske,
Na een ochtendje vertalen heb ik enkele uploadteksten naar het nederlands vertaald. Zou jij ze willen checken en daarna eventueel in de Mediawiki ruimte willen zetten en in het uploadsjab in deze titel willen linken? Zie ook Commons:Redesigning the upload form; als ik het goed begrijp kwestie van overal "nl" voor zetten, dus bijvoorbeeld MediaWiki:Uploadtext/nlownwork. Althans, zo meen ik het de noren hebben zien doen.

Ik had al een berichtje in de Kroeg geplaatst, alwaar Bryan gereageerd heeft. De uploadpagina is volledig gewijzigd: men moet nu eerst een keuze maken in Commons:Upload/nl en voor elke genoemde mogelijkheid is er nu een ander formulier. Deze heb ik dus vertaald zodat we weer meer in lijn lopen met en:. Verder kan ik volgens mij geen teksten in mediawiki naamruimte zetten: ik meen dat dit voorbehouden is aan moderatoren?

Besoin d'aide

Bonjour, j'aurais besoin de ton aide pour transférer cette photo sur Wikimédia Commons. Je ne comprend pas très bien la licence de la photo, et si User:Torero a pris lui-même la photo.

Sur la page : nl:Gebruiker:Torero/Foto's, la légende de la photo indique :

Tuffieten in de Eifel, Duitsland

Gemaakt op: 5 mei 2005

Gebruikt bij artikels: Tufsteen en Discordantie

Est-ce que je peux donner le nom « Tuffieten in de Eifel, Duitsland » à la photo sur Commons ? Ce nom doit être précis, non ?

Cette demande n'a rien d'urgent, mais quand tu auras le temps j'apprécierais ton aide.

C'est fait, merci pour l'aide. Vous vous débrouillez vraiment très bien en français.

Hoi Niels! Ik moet eerlijk zeggen, dat ik me niet heb verdiept in de verwijdervoorwaarden voor Commons, maar het is toch onzin om serverruimte te gebruiken van een foto op zijn kant of niet?

Dag Tubantia! Je hebt niet helemaal gelijk wat de serverruimte betreft. Feit is nl. dat het verwijderen ervan nog meer serverruimte kost ;-). Weg is namelijk niet fysiek weg, alleen maar in een andere database (die alleen door mods in te kijken is) gezet. Als je het foutje echt per sé weggepoetst wilt hebben kan dat wel hoor. Het maakt mij niet zoveel uit, maar omdat er al iemand behouden had gereageerd heb ik maar voor niet verwijderen gekozen. NielsF ^{? (en, nl, fr, it)} 19:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Afbeeldingen Commons Category

Niels, bedankt voor je bericht, helaas is de vraag/probleem nog niet beantwoord. Volgens mij moet net als bij Wikipedia niet uitsluitend de regel <Category: Techniek> in het document staan maar voor of na deze regel <Category: Wierden|Techniek> of iets dergelijks. Het lijkt mij nader inzien onlogisch of zelf onmogelijk Techniek te koppelen aan Wierden, omdat de sub Techniek mogelijk ook bij andere plaatsen kan bestaan.Ik zal eens een test doen bij Mozaïek_Postkantoor_Wierden.jpg doen in de Category Kunst&Cultuur.Iemand die een foto Techniek plaats uit Amsterdam moet dan zelf opletten dat hij of zij de voorcategory aangeeft.--Okido 11:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Niels, na diverse tests ben ik tot de voorlopige conclusie gekomen dat mogelijk de juiste opdrachtregel of sjabloon zoals jullie dat noemen Category: Kunst&Cultuur|Wierden moet zijn. De foto staat dan in Kunst&Cultuur en niet tevens in de Category Wierden. Het lijkt mij dan dat er een koppeling is tussen de beide categorys

Blijft een feit dat anderen zich er van bewust zijn ook hun afbeeldingen te koppelen aan de sub categorie. Nu zeg je mogelijk, het verhaal klopt niet of ja, dat wist ik wel en dat had je ook moeten weten, maar als ik het niet weet dan weten anderen dit mogelijk ook niet. Goed, graag toch je mening over de de opdrachtregel en hoe kijk je tegen het Engels aan, is Engels de bedoeling of zeg je Wierden is toch 'lokaal' niveau en laat mooi staan.--Okido 11:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:15°Stormo-Patch.png

Ciao NielsF, Image:15°Stormo-Patch.png è un mio render (ovverosia la copia) di Image:15°Stormo-patch.svg. Sono la stessa immagine solo che una è una bitmap (in formato PNG) e l'altra è vettoriale. Potete cancellarla, dato che è inutile avere due volte la stessa immagine (solo l'estensione è diversa). --F l a n k e r 19:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm. In questo caso non capisco perchè l'hai caricata, visto che MediaWiki automaticamente faccia un render... quando metti [[Image:15°Stormo-patch.svg|473px]] si fa automaticamente: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/15%C2%B0Stormo-patch.svg/473px-15%C2%B0Stormo-patch.svg.png. Avrei cancellato il bitmap, se non era la prima versione, che e distinto dal SVG, non so come fare. Vado a domandare a qualche altri amministratori. Grazie per la spiegazione. NielsF ^{?

Grazie a te per la disponibilità. --F l a n k e r 12:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Niels,

Ik kwam per toeval op deze pagina terecht: zitten er geen rechten op die vlaggen? Ciell (talk) 08:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey Ciell. Inderdaad. Dat vroeg ik me ook af. Die lijst heb ik dan ook gemaakt voor het verwijderverzoek dat er naar linkt. Gr, NielsF ^{? (en, nl, fr, it)} 16:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Ah, op die manier... bijzondere uitslag daar trouwens. Ciell (talk) 07:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

COM:FOP#Belgium

There is no panorama freedom in Belgium. Ik zoek me de blubber in die wet, maar kan niet vinden waar dit staat: jij bent hier vaak goed in, enig idee? Ciell (talk) 16:06, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Het is er niet, dus staat het niet in de wet. FOP is eigenlijk een beetje een misleidende term (net zoiets als citaat"recht"), in die zin: het is een mogelijke uitzondering, geen "recht" of "vrijheid". Wordt die uitzondering niet expliciet gemaakt, bestaat-ie ook niet. Althans, zo heb ik het altijd begrepen. Zie ook Atomium. Groet, NielsF ^{? (en, nl, fr, it)} 18:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Fair use images

Well, the thing is that some images of wikimedia (such as project logos, wiki awards and other symbols) show the copyright icon and the message: "This file is copyrighted by the Wikimedia Foundation. It includes an official logo or design and (notwithstanding any other statements) has not been licensed under the GFDL. Use of the file is subject to the Wikimedia visual identity guidelines and requires permission.". For that reason I want to ask you how do I get this 'permission' to use some of the images, for example; if I am creating a new wiki award or I want to put interwiki links to my other userpages between wikimedia sister projects using icons. Here are four examples of images with copyright simbols: [6], [7], [8] & [9] ...Hope you can give me a reply soon (in my page here or in my wikipedia user page) --Damërung (talk) 06:53, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

If this is still an issue, please reply below. NielsF ^{? (en, nl, fr, it)} 21:57, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
