Image Tagging Image:FordRanger3G.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:FordRanger3G.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is 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 content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

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 {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license 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.

USSR was an Axis ally between 1939 and 1941

It is you who is beeing disruptive here - your reverts are done without any meritoric discussion. Elaborate first, then revert, OK? This is not the first time we meet, - you did the same in Gdynia naming issue here - "reverted first, asked questions later". And don't threaten me with banning, Wikipedia is not your private property...--EAJoe 21:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is quite tedious to go through all those discussion threads in the browser edit window, so probably I won't last long. It seems that every language version of Wikipedia has it's own version of history. For example in the Russian version WWII starts not in Poland, but with the Chalchyn-Gol conflict... and barely-mentioned Soviet invasion on Poland is depicted as "making a buffer zone", and "liberating Belarussian and Ukrainian majority". Those who are victorious always are writing new history... which has nothing to do with the NPOV. I'd expect more from Wikipedia than simply repeating those lies. --EAJoe 23:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

your uploads

check the commons file you created - mackensen cl bcr line drawing - you should save these & similar files with PNG or gif extension after creating them!! never jpg, or if absolutely want jpg (despite that it is not optimal for such style files but for photos etc), then use at least 85% qlty, but preferably 95. it is at least an hour of hard job of cleaning them up, after which they end up 10 times smaller yet hugely better looking.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Parsecboy!

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.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

{{PD-Italy}}

Note that the copyright to most photos expires in Italy 20 years after the photos were taken, so it is irrelevant whether the photographer has been dead for 70 years or not. However, an old Italian photo might still be protected by copyright in the United States, in particular if it remained unpublished for a very long time. --Stefan4 (talk) 13:50, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Except that EU copyright law restored expired copyrights under older, national laws. So 70pma applies. Parsecboy (talk) 13:51, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 19:27, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Parsecboy. Congratulations for your work.

The Jaime I had in her smokestack two thin white bands and they was maintained until the end. The second España (ex-Alfonso XIII) had only one white band but at the beginning of the civil war was changed to a thicker black band. Watch this site please.

File:Carl Neumann - Action off Jasmund - 1864.png

Hi Parsecboy. Concerning your edit of this file. You have removed the files shown under "other version" with the remark they're similar, but not different versions of the same illustration. I do not understand this. The documentation for Template:Artwork explicitly states that "other versions" is for Links to files with very similar content or derivative files. And yes, they are similar - as you write - so why delete the links? Cheers --Rsteen (talk) 14:45, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Because they're not "other versions" of the same image. The field is for things like restored versions of an image or derivatives - see the examples they give at the bottom of Template:Artwork - they're all more or less identical images of the Mona Lisa with varying restoration work or cropping. The images in question - Neumann's woodcut and Sørensen's painting, are not more or less identical images. Parsecboy (talk) 15:15, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

In other words, this is exactly what the "other versions" is for. Not for generally similar images of the same event, but for literal "other versions" of the same image. Parsecboy (talk) 15:17, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

• 
  These
• 
  are
• 
  "other
• 
  versions."
• 
  This is not.

The template documentation does not talk about other versions of the same image. It talks about files with very similar content or derivative files. I believe my edit match that description and would therefore ask you to restore it. Cheers --Rsteen (talk) 15:24, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Look, if you disagree, ask on the template talk page if your interpretation is correct. But it isn't. Parsecboy (talk) 15:27, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

I do not think I need to ask. You have narrowed the definition (same image), while I follow the guideline in the documentation. So please restore the edit. Cheers --Rsteen (talk) 15:44, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

No, you're wrong. Parsecboy (talk) 15:49, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

So sorry. When you refuse to discuss the actual words in the documentation and just write "you're wrong", then of course the conversation stops. --Rsteen (talk) 15:56, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Yes. I have explained a couple of times now (with a few examples) how your interpretation of the documentation is wrong. You refuse to entertain the idea that you're wrong, so yes, naturally conversation stops, because there is nothing left to discuss. You are free to either drop it, or as I suggested, go elsewhere so someone else can tell you that you're wrong. Have a nice day. Parsecboy (talk) 16:07, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

One last point I'll make - if the documentation should be interpreted as you have, can you explain why File:La Gioconda al Louvre - panoramio.jpg is not included in the list of examples on the Template:Artwork page? Or why it's not included in the "other versions" of File:Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, from C2RMF retouched.jpg? Parsecboy (talk) 16:23, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

It's not included because the retouched version of the Mona Lisa was uploaded after the examples were included in the template. The template as such is not the place of record for the Mona Lisa image. The images in the template sit there as an example, only - frozen in time; which you well know.

I side with Rsteen on this matter.

My view is there is a danger in any rule book of over prescription and in this case the definition ofimage is hardly precise, that's why it needs adjectives.

There is no need to link every image of the Mona Lisa to the main file (or any other version of it). I would only link prime examples where for some reason you wish to draw them to the viewers attention. Best versions in different sizes perhaps. There are many spurious images (I'm sure) of the Mona Lisa that can stand on their own merits without being linked to, such as a plastic doll version or the panoramio version mentioned. There is no problem in placing into other versions, cropped parts, the batik version as opposed to the oil, Warhol's version, or the original from which the engraving was taken, or the label on the back, or the image in or out of a frame, signature, or whatever...

The limits can only be what is practical, or not self evident. The Pearl harbor picture is a different matter, it's a different picture, taken by the same person, at almost the same time + or - 5 minutes. I would not be inclined to put it as a thumbnail in other versions, but it could be; again the question is it worthy of having attention drawn to it in this way for some reason. I would have to respect your judgement call on it.

It is also more importantly the repository forThis file has been extracted from another file:example.jpg Indeed that template can be changed to "Derived from" which might be appropriate in this case. Broichmore (talk) 17:34, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

You've lost me - you agree that you wouldn't include the last Pearl Harbor image because it's a different picture taken by the same person maybe 5 minutes later, but you think a different illustration done by a different artist should be included? Can you explain those two seemingly mutually exclusive propositions?

As for the Mona Lisa, you are missing the forest for the trees - if you look at the images listed in the other versions section, they are all exactly identical with differing restoration work and/or cropping done to them. You aren't seeing anything here or here, which is the analogue to the two illustrations Rsteen wanted to list as alternate versions. And as for the template in question, it's edited fairly frequently, so that's not an argument.

If your concern is being able to find images of the same event, that's what categories are for. Parsecboy (talk) 18:13, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, friendly third party here who has Template talk:Artwork on the watchlist. this is completely valid usage of the other_versions field so shouldn't be removed. I restored it. Multichill (talk) 20:52, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Parsecboy, the source used to make the map was mainly the Gran Enciclopedia de Cantabria, where the dates of the different advances are shown.

It was also used as reference some educational book but I don't remember which one, it was long ago when I made the map, sorry. --Tony Rotondas (talk) 16:05, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
