Welcome

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, SecretName101!

could you please explain...

Why would you add Category:Herb Brooks, a hockey player, to issues of a magazine published in Guantanamo? Geo Swan (talk) 22:42, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

There is an article in it about him and the 1980 US Olympic hockey team

Thanks for uploading File:Crowd gathers at Soldier Field to listen to a marching band.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

And also:

Yours sincerely, Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 04:13, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

When categorising files, please avoid placing them into several categories that are directly linked within the same tree (e.g. a parent category and a child category – like Category:United Kingdom and Category:London), to prevent over-categorization of files and over-population of categories. Usually, only the most specific category should be used. See Commons:Categories for more details. Thank you.

Foreign Secretaries

Categorising Foreign Secretaries or their equivalents as "national leaders" does not make sense, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs is not the leader of the nation. This is not the normal pattern of categorisation, for example Category:Barack Obama with national leaders has sub-categories for other heads of government or equivalent, not other high-ranking ministers or officials. January (talk) 08:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes, however Hillary has an extensive number of images taken with certain ministers and cabinet-level members of governments, both domestic and foreign (for instance, it seems that she may happen to appear in more images with US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates than she even appears in with her own husband, former US President Bill Clinton). It seems necessary to divide many of these into their own categories to help streamline access to media, more so than it might with other politicians.

Being a Secretary of State, one of Clinton's main tasks was meeting with foreign politicians and domestic defense leaders. While these are also duties a President often fulfills, it is does not make-up the same bulk of the job as it does for a Secretary of State. Especially since Obama had delegated much of the foreign-policy to Hillary, as he needed to focus on economic recovery from the recession as well as passing healthcare legislation. Holding office in the 2010's made it so that a vast number of images documenting her tenure were made available online, and thus found their way onto commons.

Therefore, it makes little sense to categorize these images in a non-descriptive manner. Having hundreds of essentially unsorted images is not a proper standard.

SecretName101 (talk) 08:52, 7 September 2016 (UTC)


If you would like, perhaps, we could create additional subcategories for cabinet-level officials of nations. However, it would make sense to first have these images sorted by nationality of the leaders before breaking them down even further.SecretName101 (talk) 08:56, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I think that's a good idea (my only issue was with applying the term "national leader" too broadly). My suggestion would be dividing first by country (eg Category:Hillary Rodham Clinton with politicians of the United Kingdom, and from there dividing by office or rank (eg Category:Hillary Rodham Clinton with Foreign Secretaries of the United Kingdom or Category:Hillary Rodham Clinton with Cabinet ministers of the United Kingdom. January (talk) 10:29, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
Certainly. Once I've made more significant headway with dividing leaders by nations, I will work on doing that. You are welcome to start it at any point if you want to take the lead there.SecretName101 (talk) 10:31, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi SecretName101, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

  • Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
  • Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
  • Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.

The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Thanks for uploading File:Brad Marchand Cfac101 (5216504227).jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Tons of crops

Hi SecretName101, what is your motivitaion to upload tons of (currently unused) crops of existing media files ? Xgeorg (talk) 13:45, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Wikimedia commons serves as a public-domain image repository. It not only benefits Wikimedia sites, but also benefits outside projects. Individuals are able to utilize images which they find on Wikimedia Commons elsewhere. Thus "unused" is somewhat a misnomer, as images that are not in-use on Wikimedia may be used elsewhere. Additionally, images often may serve a future-use as Wikimedia projects expands with newly-created or newly-expanded articles.

Anyways, one reason I do this is to allow for a greater variety of options. Often times it is to create a new file which focuses-in on a particular individual or object in an image, or a particular region of a photograph.SecretName101 (talk) 22:49, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, SecretName101!
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.

There are at least 16 others that also need categorization. Elisfkc (talk) 15:19, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Selfies

Hello. The utility of Wikimedia is to show images of the world. I'm sure if it's right to have selfies there; for the Parthenon a special category "selfies" has been created. When someone wants to see pictures of this monument, I don't think that person looks for selfies, anyway that special category is there in case of. This is just my point of view. I just realized you have changed the Bill Clinton pic, I wonder why. Regards.--Io Herodotus ([[User talk:Io Herodotus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 09:34, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

It is not a selfie. A selfie is a photo one has taken of themselves. He does not appear to be the photographer of that image, and therefore it cannot be called a selfie.SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 18:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
OK. I haven't thought of that. What would be the proper name then?--Io Herodotus ([[User talk:Io Herodotus|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 01:15, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
Perhaps something like "Images of people at....." or "Images of individuals at...." or Photographs of people at..... I agree that those sorts of pictures probably should not be uploaded for the Parthenon with unimportant figures. However, that particular image (being of a United States President) should certainly be retained. It could serve a potential use as an appropriate illustration for articles and stories discussing US relations with Greece.SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]])
I took the liberty of replacing that category with Category:Images of individuals at the Parthenon.
Additionally, if a category had been created to contain actual selfies (which are basically the photographic equivalent of a self-portrait), it should have been titled "Selfies at the Parthenon", not "Selfies of the Parthenon". Think about it, the relation such images would have with the Parthenon is that they were taking there. The Parthenon would be the location, not the subject (the Parthenon could not possibly be the subject of a selfie, being an inanimate entity it is impossible for it to take a picture of itself), thus the selfie would be at the Parthenon rather than of the Parthenon.

Unblock request

Template:Unblock granted I do not understand the severity of disruption I have caused to be major.

By my calculation (looking back through my talk page) about 100 images I have uploaded were deleted. A handful were items that had been misidentified elsewhere as commons-licensed. By my calculation 37 of those deleted were for reasons not relating to copyright (poor quality, out-of-scope, usurped by a higher-quality version, etc). And looking back, it appears that at least one or two of those that were deleted for copyright should not have been. For instance, File:President Clinton Eating at Various Locations - FOIA Case - 2011-0068-F.webm has since been re-uploaded as File:President Clinton Eating at Various Locations - (FOIA Case - 2011-0068-F).webm.

However, let us presume that 100 files I uploaded have been deleted for copyright. I have uploaded 41,790 files to commons thus-far. This would mean that in totality a mere 0.24% of the files I have uploaded have been deleted for copyright violations.

The learning curve I have endured (and am still enduring) as I become more and more involved in Wikimedia Commons and its nuances has resulted in only a minute number of copyright violations in relation to the totality of the files I have contributed. While I have admittedly made some significant mistakes, misjudgments and oversights in regards to judging or identifying copyright, the number of these mistakes is ranks incredibly small out of the totality of my contributions.

In the time before December 2015 I had only contributed a mere three images. Therefore, I consider my experience as a regular uploader to have begun in December 2015. I have, therefore, only been contributing files for less than 21-months.

I have typically learned from each of my errors, and I rarely commit the same exact mistakes again. I typically tend to learn relatively quickly which nuances I may have unintentionally violated.

However, going forward, I intend to take greater due-diligence in my contributions of media.SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 03:24, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Please read this essay: Commons:Threshold of originality#United States. I have linked that essay previously when deleting your uploads. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 00:13, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

I feel I have a better grasp of the concept of threshold of originally. Still a very finicky legal concept, as it is so vaguely defined. However, the key question tends to be whether there is anything that is actually unique to the forms. If there is anything that can be argued to demonstrate unique artistic effort, then it crosses the line. For instance, a simple arc-shape is below the threshold, but a detailed geometric representation of the Arc de Triumph would presumably be above it (thus ineligible for free use without being otherwise licensed as such). Maps, unless based off of public-domain/free maps, are copyrighted unless their copyright has expired/ failed to be renewed (depending on date of origin). If simple forms can reasonably be presumed to have been laid in the same formation before, then they are not eligible for copyright. However, if a graphic is complex enough that its composition is reasonably unique, then that is not the case.
I have found that the most bizarre (but exciting) aspect of this is the lack of overlap between copyright and trademark in many instances. SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 00:15, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
@Magog the Ogre Out of curiosity, what would your judgement on en:File:World Games 2021.png be? Would you judge it to have just crossed the line to being beyond the threshold??? Or would you judge it as still being geometrically bland and unoriginal enough?? SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 06:18, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
@Magog the Ogre, if you are not too busy, I would appreciate a response. Would be appreciated. SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 09:03, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm sorry, somehow I missed your previous ping. I would call that a borderline case, could go either way. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 01:04, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

@Guanaco It should be reverted to its original license (as it was originally uploaded) SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 02:13, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Well, the graphical arrangement is PD-text, but the text itself is copyrightable. I'll email him to suggest the CC0 license for his site. In any case, however, this file seems to be out of scope. Guanaco ([[User talk:Guanaco|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 04:43, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

@User:Elisfkc What do you mean that it's not clearly indicated? The source is very clearly indicated.SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 23:40, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

That's why I left a note on the file itself. The problem is that the sourced image does not match the commons image. --Elisfkc ([[User talk:Elisfkc|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 23:42, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
Also, it would be great if you archived your talk page. --Elisfkc ([[User talk:Elisfkc|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 23:46, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

@User:Elisfkc Oh right. Fixed it. Appears there was a bit of an error with the upload via the flickr2commons tool. And planning to archive my talk page sometime soon. Procrastinating at this point.SecretName101 ([[User talk:SecretName101#top|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 23:47, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

All good with the image now. Why not just set up one of the bots to do it for you? I've got MiszaBot doing mine. Elisfkc ([[User talk:Elisfkc|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 23:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

What is the purpose

of cropping bad and tiny pieces out of fine images? There were headshots of Jean-Philippe Lamoureux before you ruined several pictures. It's not necessary to do that. --Ailura ([[User talk:Ailura|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 19:34, 1 October 2017 (UTC)
