Hello, Rsteen!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

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

Here's how:

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

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

[[Category:Category name]]

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you for your guidance in these matters. However, I took the trouble of actually reading what the first deletion note said, and it asked for an entry "if you believe this file is not a copyright violation, please explain why on the file's talk page". In fact I realize now that it is a copyright violation, and therefore I do not have any intention of explaining otherwise at the file's talk page.--Rsteen (talk) 16:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Rowbarges

The vessels in the third Anthony Roll are not galleasses either by name or design. They are called "rowbarges" and are considerably smaller than the "galleasses". Even those of the second roll are actually difficult to classify since the term "galleass" was used more as a description of function than actual design. Note that they don't have all that much in common with Mediterranean galleasses. That's why I created Category:Galleasses of England.

This was not unusual at the time and you can note similar usage of the term "galley" for small frigates with "sweeps" like the Charles Galley or Captain Kidds infamous Adventure Galley. There were also US "row galleys" that were essentially just gunboats. These have virtually nothing in common with the Mediterranean-style galleys and are not described as galleys by modern maritime historians.

Overall, ship designations before, say, 1750 are fairly inexact. A perfect example is the "galleon" which can refer to just about any major ship with gundecks used between c. 1550 and 1650. The ambiguity of the term is commented on by Rodger in Safeguard of the Sea. But more specifically, he laments "the promiscuity with which modern authors apply it to almost anything afloat" (p. 212). Except for British ships, of course, which are often classified by backdating the rating system, even though it was inexact to begin with and had little to do with actual ship design.

Peter Isotalo 17:33, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry if I erred in categorizing. There was no category for "rowbarges" and no real description for them. However, on the Norwegian wiki, I found Liste over de engelske galeasser, where the "rowbarges" are indeed quoted as small galleasses, apparently based on information in Arthur Nelson, The Tudor Navy 1485-1603. So, I gather you disagree with mister Nelson? --Rsteen (talk) 18:38, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Hauch(1862)-3506-1980-n.tif, however the license tag CC-BY-SA may not be correct, as the description (and likely date of creation) place it in the public domain. Could you verify and update? Also, a link the webpage where the image is from is very useful. Thank you for all you do to make Wikimedia Commons better! Senator2029 ➔ “Talk” 13:13, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Senator2029. Thank you for the kind words. As I wrote in the description of the file, it stems from the collections of the Danish National Museum. The Museum is in the process of making its entire collection of old photos available to the public - but the process is moving at a very leisurely pace. Because of my interest in the photos I have obtained copies via email - directly from the Museum, and as the photos are not available at the Museums website, I cannot make a link to them. The license tag is based on what the head of the Museums Photo Department has written on Facebook, and I have no idea if the eventual license will in fact be CC-BY-SA, PD or another open license. Sometimes things are a bit complicated, but the quality of the photos makes it all worthwhile. --Rsteen (talk) 15:33, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

"Not a photo of the original"?

Hello Rsteen! I'm a little puzzled by your edit here: [1]. When you're saying that "This is just a 1943 reproduction (a copy done by someone else). It is not a photo of the original", do you mean that the picture printed in 1943 was not showing the original painting but rather another artist's copy/repainting of it? Or did you simply mean that the picture has gone through the process of being printed in a book before being scanned? In the latter case this must be a comment that could be made about thousends of pictures here at Commons, but is that really a valid ground for declaring the picture not to be "original"? /FredrikT (talk) 00:07, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello FredrikT. Yes I mean that it is another artist's remaking of the painting. If - for instance - you compare the background to the right, you can see that the original has a lot of details that are not redone on the copy. Making lithographic copies of paintings was a very common technique in those days, and - as far as I know - for many years it was the only possible way of reproducing paintings in books. --Rsteen (talk) 06:20, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
I must say I'm not convinced. I'm rather sure that this is a printed colour photo, and that the small differences in colour and details are just the results of limitations in the processes of colour photo and printing techniques at the time. And the text under this picture definitely states "Selvportræt. 1803. Kunstmuseet."; nothing about it being a remake by someione else. /FredrikT (talk) 09:33, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
@FredrikT. You may be right. Colour separation of photos existed at the time, but it was expensive. I have no access to the book you cite, and therefore no way of reading what it says about the system of reproduction. Still, I do believe that the recent photo does a better job of representing the painting. --Rsteen (talk) 09:53, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
No doubt about that! The details on the printing by the way are very limited; they just say "Clicheerne udført af 'Clichéfa'". /FredrikT (talk) 10:32, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

RE:File:Eckersberg Marmortrappen som fører op til S. Maria in Aracoeli 1816.jpg

Thank you for your advise, not problem i have just correct it. --Albertomos (talk) 06:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Ok Albertomos. Thank you for your swift reply. There are still many fantastic paintings in Itally, and I try to see some new ones every year. --Rsteen (talk) 07:20, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Naval buildings

I don't understand your logic in rm cat Naval Buildings from File:ChathamHDStables0031.JPG and friends. They are naval buildings dating back to before HMS Victory was built- and the other shots are prototypes for naval buildings all over the world. The correct action would have been to create a sub-cat and mv them there? Am I missing something- or was it a genuine error?--ClemRutter (talk) 09:26, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello ClemRutter. Well, the logic is, that these nice photos are already in Category:Chatham Dockyard, which is already in Category:Naval bases in the United Kingdom, which is already in Category:Naval bases by country which is already in Category:Naval bases, which is already in Category:Naval buildings. So they are already there. I am sure you are familiar with the guidelines for Commons that advise you to put the files in the most descriptive category, and not make redundant entries further downstream. Well, this is what I have tried to do. Regards --Rsteen (talk) 09:45, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Gotya. I am looking at it from the Category:Buildings by function tree- hence the double entry. I couldn't see another solution though.--ClemRutter (talk) 10:02, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Dupuy de Lôme airship

Hi, thanks for your message. Your reasoning might well be better than mine, that was based solely on disambiguation, having been very confused between two airships for which the 'name' Dupuy de Lôme was associated. Perhaps a compromise might be to make a new Category:Dupuy de Lôme airship (1872), and leave it out of the Category:Airships by name.PeterWD (talk) 15:01, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
