Flickr CC BY-SA 2.0 file

Hello Rama! Sorry to bother you with administrative stuff, but there is apparently some backlog...
I made a video upload above (and changed the mp4 format to webm per Commons rules) from a CC BY-SA 2.0 video file on Flickr [1], and also extracted a panorama from the same video file: .
As an Administrator, would it be possible for you to review the license on Flickr (Click "Attribution sharealike" under the photograph on the Flickr page [2] and it links to the license page "cc-by-sa-2.0"), and, if acceptable, replace in your own hand the {{Flickreview}} tag in my two uploads (the video and the panorama above) with the "passed review" code:
{{FlickreviewR|status=passed|author=Bruce Allardice|sourceurl=https://www.flickr.com/photos/gballardice/49605408092|archive=|reviewdate=2020-08-30|reviewlicense=cc-by-sa-2.0|reviewer=Rama}}
It should look like this:

This image was originally posted to Flickr by Bruce Allardice at https://www.flickr.com/photos/gballardice/49605408092. It was reviewed on 30 August 2020 by Rama and was confirmed to be licensed under the terms of the cc-by-sa-2.0.

Thank you! पाटलिपुत्र (talk) 12:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
no bother at all. The licence is indeed Cc-by-sa-2.0 on Flickr, I have put the template on the video and on the panorama.
Thank you very much for bringing this very valuable document on Commons!

Commons - Media Sarch, new feedback round

Greetings,

I'm following up on a message from earlier in the year about the prototype development for Special:MediaSearch. Based on community feedback, the Structured Data team has developed some new features for Special:MediaSearch and are seeking another round of comments and discussions about the tool. Commons:Structured_data/Media_search is updated with details about the new features plus some other development information, and feedback is welcome on Commons talk:Structured_data/Media_search. Media Search works in any language, so the team would especially appreciate input around support for languages other than English. I look forward to reading about what you think. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bowls Lamboglia 27a IMG 5121.jpg

Hi! Do you have any additional info to the file Bowls Lamboglia 27a IMG 5121.jpg? They look Campanian B to me (althought I will agree L27ab is more typical in A) and the date should be 2-1st century BC (the Grand Congloué I is actually dated 2nd c. BC). I've also deleted the link to terra sigillata since Campanian ware and red-slip terra sigillata are two completely different things. I would love to illustrate some articles with these pictures (these are easily the best on Commons) so let me know if you have the extra caption! Thanks in advance, --Macesito (talk) 11:09, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
I am afraid I have nothing more at the moment, but I will try to contact the museum and ask them if they can complete our caption. Thank you for your interest and for bringing such an acute expertise to the projects! Cheers! Rama (talk) 17:03, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source for a photo of a Bréguet 960 Vultur

I'm working on the article for this prototype and it desperately needs a photo or two. I know that you've uploaded other photos of French aircraft from the 1950s, but the original websites seem to have disappeared. So I'm wondering if you could point me in the direction of any copyright-free photo collections as a Google image search is drowning me in ones that appear to still be in copyright. I've found some scanned aeronautical journals on Gallica with poor-quality photos that I might be able to use, but I'm not sure if the Gallica PD tag overrides the US one much like Crown Copyright does for British photos.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:41, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Dear Rama

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)[reply]

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello Rama,

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)[reply]

Permission for photo use

Dear Rama, Thank you for your diligent work providing photos and open source documentary evidence. I am requesting to use your photo file Zakkur Stele 0154.jpg for my personal and educational website/blog. The purpose of this site is twofold: 1). To blog about my personal journey as an Arab-American and "Classicist," a problematic and elitist (arguably racist) term and field describing those who study and teach the ancient languages, history, and culture of the Greeks, Romans, and Ancient Mediterranean. 2). To provide some lesson plans and resources for Latin teachers, which will focus on passages and excerpts of Greek and Latin that relate to the ancient Near East and North Africa.

I have taught ancient Greek, Latin, Mythology, and Roman History to students of all ages and diverse backgrounds. As a university lecturer, I have taught courses specifically on "Rome & Carthage in the Republic", "Rome & Jerusalem in the 1st centuries", and "Rome & Constantinople in the Late Roman Empire." Each of those classes encouraged students to read about and explore Rome's complex, imperialist relationships with the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa

You can reach me at d.h.haddad@protonmail.com. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2601:188:C500:310:DD36:75F:A5A9:B819 (talk) 03:44, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bonsoir Rama, s'il vous plait, j'ai besoin de votre aide : Quelle est la photo actuelle ? ou . Merci beaucoup, --JMCC1 (talk) 19:34, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bonsoir,
c'est plus compliqué: les deux images montrent une partie de la galerie d'étude de la salle 636. C'est une longue vitrine qui est proche d'un mur de la salle, comme un couloir, de sorte qu'il est impossible de tout photographier, on ne peut pas reculer assez.
Je devrais peut-être modifier File:Room 636 display 3-IMG 2895.jpg pour que ça soit plus évident et éviter de suggérer quelque chose de trompeur.
N'hésitez pas à me dire si quelque chose n'est pas clair. Merci pour vos contributions et excellente continuation à vous ! Rama (talk) 20:08, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour, et merci pour votre message et votre intéret.
Vous êtes libre d'utiliser cette image, modifiée ou non, pour tout usage y compris commercial. En contre-partie vous devez mentionner l'auteur et la licence ("Rama, Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr"), mais vous êtes libre de la convention typographique (page de garde, note de bas de page, liste à la fin de l'ouvrage etc.) L'idée est de permettre aux lecteurs de savoir qu'ils ont eux aussi le droit d'utiliser l'image, et de promouvoir le principe de la culture libre.

Projet communes sans images (CSI)

En fait, nous avons un micro financement en cours dans lequel nous avons consacré une rubrique des Photo des Départements/communes/Arrondissements/quartiers du Bénin afin de mettre plus en lumière nos communes et quartiers de villes du Bénin. Dans ma curiosité, j'ai vu que le modèle

Mais j'ai quelques doutes et je me demande si ce n'est pas mieux de le faire sur commons comme sur ce projet ici et de plus quelle catégorie générale faudrait-il mettre


Je résume mes préoccupations

  • Est ce que le projet sans images des communes doit être fait sur meta comme je l'ai proposé ici ou sur commons comme c'est le cas sur un autre projet ici
  • Quel template faut-il utiliser dans le description des images pour signifier que c'est fait dans le cadre de ce projet. Si possible, on l'essaye sur cette image ici pour me guider.
  • Quelle catégorie générale me proposez-vous pour ce projet (Category:Communes Sans Images au Bénin ou bien Category:Supported by Projet Communes Sans Images au Bénin) comme c'est la cas ici ?

File:CIA illegal flights.svg

Hello. What is the map background used in File:CIA illegal flights.svg? I wanted to make an improvement to the map by balancing out the sides, i.e. slightly extend the east side. --Weaveravel (talk) 12:33, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
Sorry, I must have used a Public Domain map and neglected to indicate the source.
In any case, that map could probably use a refresher, like a better projection and more harmonious colours, so do feel free to fork it.
Good continuation! Rama (talk) 14:28, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks! I have taken this SVG and repasted the content onto the map of this one File:Blank map of the world (Robinson projection) (10E).svg. The result on Inkscape looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/JII2dN4. There is no change at all to the content, only the map has been changed and minor label positionings. Is it OK to replace the current File:CIA illegal flights.svg with this version, since it is not a majorly different creation? --Weaveravel (talk) 17:22, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also I have difficulties with cropping the final SVG, because currently it shows the full world map. Do you know how I can easily cut the SVG to this selection on Inkscape? --Weaveravel (talk) 17:24, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Replacing the file: absolutely, and thank you for your help!
Selection crop: it's not most intuitive think on Inkscape: create a rectangle at the desired size and position, select it and set it to transparent fill and border so it does not show; now go to "File -> Document Properties"; there will be a collapsing menu called " > Resize page to content..."; display this and click the button "Resize page to drawing or selection".
The rest of the map will still be there, but "off-camera" if you will, and in the Wikimedia viewers the file should display your area of interest.
Cheers! Rama (talk) 07:42, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for the help! I have successfully cropped it. Also I did several fixes: I corrected the positioning of a few cities like Cairo and Glasgow; I corrected some lines like the one that did not touch Frankfurt; I corrected the positioning towards Washington which is more south than it was before. Hope this will be a good improvement! --Weaveravel (talk) 11:54, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Disderi 2.jpg

The current version looks really dark, especially compared to this alternative I've found. You can barely make out the far left guy's face.

I was thinking to reupload the file as either that alterative (more cropped and lower quality, but better lighting and doesn't have those two random tears in the middle), or upload your version with a bit more brightness added to it.

good point about the values. Since the image from Pinterest is in a lower resolution, I would advise uploading it as an alternative file, to avoid loosing information; on the other hand you could very well upload your dodged version as the new revision or File:Disderi_2.jpg.
Thank you, good continuation and cheers! Rama (talk) 09:28, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Xiongnu statuette

Hunting scene depicting a horserider of probable Xiongnu origin: the rider wears a hairbun characteristic of the oriental steppes, and his horse has characteristically Xiongnu horse trappings. 2nd-1st century BC. Excavated in Saksanokhur (near Farkhor), Tajikistan.[1]

Dear Rama, I don't know if I can ask you this, but I'll try anyway... There is currently in the Guimet Museum special exhibit on Tajikistan an incredible belt buckle with the figure of a purported Xiongnu horserider (very rare...). There are some fairly nice pictures already (attached), but not stellar... Do you think you may have an opportunity to photograph it? (photography is allowed, I called them, and we already have quite a few images at Category:Tadjikistan, au pays des fleuves d’or) The head portion especially is interesting and it would be ideal to have it on all angles in good detail... it's quite an ethnographic document... The exhibit closes on January 10th, so that might be tight. Anyway, just trying. I take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and the very best for 2022! Best regards पाटलिपुत्र (talk) 10:12, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @पाटलिपुत्र: ,
thank you for your question, I find it both flattering and intellectually stimulating and instructive!
Unfortunately I am not in a position to travel to Paris in time, but I have forwarded your question to @Jastrow: and @Thesupermat: , who are both very dedicated and competent photographers with an interest in archeology and museography. They have their own busy schedule and travel limitations due to the sanitary situation, obviously, but hopefully some good documents might stem from your question.
I seize the opportunity to wish you a happy season, joyful celebrations, and a year 2022 full of peace, prosperity and wonders. Rama (talk) 08:29, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much Rama! पाटलिपुत्र (talk) 08:35, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Jastrow is thanking you, she wanted to visit the exhibit and thought it would stay longer, she might have missed it without your question. One more reason to feel free to ask! Rama (talk) 08:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Great news!! I'll be looking forward to her always superb images!! पाटलिपुत्र (talk) 09:13, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If I may then, here are a few more images from the exhibit which could especially benefit from better photographic expertise (I suppose the light conditions are not always photographer-friendly in the exhibit...). Best regards to all, and special "Joyeux Noël" to @Jastrow: !!:

Happy holidays 2021/2022!

  * Happy Holidays 2021/2022, Rama! *  
  • Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
  • Joyeux Noël! Bonne année!
  • Frohes Weihnachten! Frohes Neues Jahr!
  • Счастливого Рождества! С Новым годом!
  • ¡Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo!
  • Щасливого Різдва! З Новим роком!

Use of your photos

Good day! Sorry to bother you. But I would like to get your official permission to use your photographs of Swiss rifles from the ZIG company. My name is Vyacheslav Shpakovsky, I am a journalist, and I write for the Voennoye Obozreniye website, popular in Russia and in the world (published in 5 languages). I would be very grateful to you! What to write in the caption under the photo regarding your authorship? Best regards, V. Shpakovsky slavashpak1@mail.ru

Hello, no bother at all!
You are free to use the image, modified or not, for any purpose including commercial. I would be grateful if the credits could mention "Rama, Wikimedia Commons, Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr" (you are free to use the typographical conventions of your choosing, e.g. right under the image, but also in a "credit" section at the end of the article, a footnote, etc.).
Do let me know if you have further questions.
A very happy and safe year 2022 to you and your loved ones! Rama (talk) 10:13, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)

Chalice

Bonjour! I would like to use your image File:Chalice-IMG 4590.jpg in a personal project, and I will of course be crediting you in full. (The project will take some years to complete, but I'll let you know if/when it's eventually released.) I wondered if you had a version without the red background? I can take the time to cut the background out myself in GIMP, but it occurred to me that you may have a version with transparency or a different background colour already (the red background complements the highlights on the chalice reflections, as you intended, but that makes tracing the outline more difficult). Merci beaucoup. -Stelio (talk) 07:59, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
No, sorry, I think I never detoured this image and just made the existing red background uniform.
Best of lucks with your project and the rest of 2022! Rama (talk) 08:52, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Thank you very much for the quick reply. :-) -Stelio (talk) 14:18, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Problemes des Images Wiki Loves Africa 2022

Salut Rama. j'espère que tu vas bien . Dans la cadre d'un travail que je suis en train de faire sur les Images Wiki Loves Africa 2022 je voudrais savoir quel Template il faut mettre sur des images qui ont un certain nombre de problèmesː Il s'agitː

Bonjour Adoscam, ravi de voir que le projet est toujours aussi dynamique !
Pour File:1-IMG_4124.jpg, ce genre de signature s'appelle "watermark" en jagon Commoniste ; tu peux la signaler avec le modèle {{Watermark}}, et comme l'image est sous licence libre, quelqu'un s'occupera de l'enlever. Note que le nom de l'image non plus n'est pas idéal, et elle gagnerait à être renommée de façon plus descriptive ; tu trouveras le modèle adéquat à {{Rename}}.
Pour File:44Gitega.jpg : dans le menu de gauche (sous le logo de Commons), à la rubrique "Outils", tu devrais avoir un lien "Proposer la suppression" qui aide à remplir les formulaires adéquates. Si tu penses qu'il n'y a pas matière à débat parce que l'image est clairement un copyvio, tu peux simplement apposer le modèle {{Copyvio}} sur l'image.
Bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 17:42, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Merci beaucoup pour ton retour. pour le modèle {{Copyvio}} cela a bien focntionée marché https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:9KARERA_II.jpg
par contre je me demande ce qui j'ai mal fai avec {{Rename}}. ici https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1-IMG_4124.jpg. Adoscam (talk) 23:23, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah oui, j'aurais dû expliquer : {{Rename}} s'attend à ce que tu proposes le nouveau nom pour l'image, du coup il faut écrire {{Rename|Nouveau nom génial.jpg}}
Bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 14:08, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
ok. Je comprends mieux maintenant. Comme j'ai déjà le statut de renommeur de fichier il semble que je n'ai plus forcement besoins du Template, il me reste donc à chercher le nom exact de l'image. Merci. A très bientôt. Adoscam (talk) 19:24, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bonsoir Rama, J'ai deux préoccupations sur Commons.

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,

Dear Rama. I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your admin rights on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section/Aug-Sep 2022 before 13 September, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose their rights.

You can read the de-admin policy at Commons:Administrators/De-adminship.

which image are you thinking of?
There are a number of images of one specific such object at Category:Bust of Roman emperor as pharaoh-E 27418. If that is the one you are thinking about, it is an identified artifact on display at the Louvre, we can simply refer to the catalog of the museum.

Dates pour photos du CERN

Salut Rama. J'ai récemment commencé à faire un travail de catégorisation pour les photos du Category:CERN. J'ai remarqué que tu as téléversé beaucoup d'images ("author rama" cern) et je t'en remercie. Certaines images n'ont pas de date. Pour celles qui ont des informations Exif, j'ai rajouté la date comme diff par exemple. Il reste encore 80 images sans date. As-tu une idée de quand elles ont été prises ? Je vois principalement deux formats de nom de fichier :

  • File:CERN-p<numéro>.jpg: 13 images
  • File:CERN-rama-<numéro>.jpg: 63 images

Cordialement. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 20:46, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Salut et merci pour ce travail utile !
Je crois qu'elles datent toutes du 25 février 2006. Pas absolument certain mais très confiant. Les File:CERN-p<numéro>.jpg viennent d'un Panasonic Lumix que j'utilisais à l'époque, et les File:CERN-rama-<numéro>.jpg d'un apareil argentique, probablement un Leica R4s.
Merci encore, tous mes voeux pour 2023, et bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 08:13, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merci pour ta réponse. J'ai ajouté la date aux dernières photos. Serais-tu intéressé pour que mon bot essaye d'ajouter une date à tes photos non datées ? Mon script extrait la date des informations Exif. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 01:13, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Volontier, et merci encore ! Rama (talk) 18:35, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
J'ai commencé à faire ce travail. Mon bot ajoute une date si elle existe dans les données Exif (diff). Dans quelques cas, la date Exif ne correspond pas à la date déjà présente. Dans ce cas j'ajoute la catégorie Category:Files by Rama with mismatched dates (diff). Et si aucune date ne peut être trouvée, le bot ajoute {{Other date|?}}. Ainsi on peut facilement trouver les fichiers sans date avec "author rama" incategory:"Unknown date". Cryptic-waveform (talk) 18:25, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Magnifique, merci !
ça a l'air de concerner surtout des images éditées après coup (recadrées ou détourées). Je regarderai à l'ocacsion si j'arrive à en dater, typiquement elles viennent par grappes donc ça devrait faire moins de travail que d'images.
Bonne continuation à toi ! Rama (talk) 10:59, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

👍 Pour l'instant je vais continuer de la même manière. J'en suis à 21% de fichiers vérifiés. Je m'attaquerai aux fichiers avec des dates différentes par la suite. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 14:16, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of the Delhi Sultanate: help needed

Hello Rama! I hope everything is well. I may need help to resolve an ongoing hoax about the color of the flag of the Delhi Sultanate (13th-15th century India). Only one depiction exists, from the Catalan Atlas of 1375: , as it appears in this plate: , and general background is explained in this article: Wikipedia (en).
BUT, some people have been pushing a green version of the flag for a long time (as you will see in the histories , ) whereas the flag is actually grey/greyish as seen from the primary source above, and scholarly sources also describe it a grey/brownish, not green: "....another curious flag found in northern India – a brown or originally sliver flag with a vertical black line – as the flag of the Delhi Sultanate (602-962/1206-1555)." in (2010). "On the Timurid flag". Beiträge zur islamischen Kunst und Archäologie 2: 148..
You will also see that the Catalan Atlas map has plenty of vivid green otherwise, so it is not a question of green color fading....
I have a sense that this has a potential for a lot of edit warring, for a long time (started here [3]). Would it be possible to protect or block the file pages concerned? There are three of them: , , .
Ideally, it would be great if the previous green versions of the files were deleted too, because these are just fakes, but I don't know if that is possible. Best regads! पाटलिपुत्र (talk) 05:49, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
I am afraid I would not be the best judge of the matter, being both ignorant of the matter and colour blind, but you might want to copy your message at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections.

Thank you. I will do so if the reverting heats up... Best पाटलिपुत्र (talk) 17:34, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
