2 images to upload?
Dear Christian,
If you wish to upload 2 images from MO, this image or this image would be a good choice for this category below...which has low quality images. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:22, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks you, I will see later. Christian Ferrer (talk) 07:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Sure. No problem. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:27, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
- Your 5 images are reviewed. If you are ready to upload just these 2 MO images, please let me know. Thank You Christian, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:20, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Done @Leoboudv: Just curious why do you want that I upload the images, and why don't you do it? Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:29, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Comment: I just thought that I should NOT be the one to upload so many quality images from M.O. almost all the time. (Its not right) A second uploader is always preferable. This is my last request about you uploading any images from M.O. although you can upload them yourself if you wish. Thank You Christian and the images are reviewed. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:24, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- That's sometimes fully all my life. Someone said one day "to be or not to be", I could go even further, and say to be alone or not to be alone, and by extension be alone to do something, or not. A dilemma if ever there is one. Christian Ferrer (talk) 21:03, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- That is quite right. Many year ago, the flickr bot would break down and I found myself reviewing hundreds of images per day. (I have slowed down now) So, I would leave messages at the Admin noticeboard asking if a second reviewer could help deal with the flickr backlog because its not safe to get just one reviewer marking so many images. Once--I think in 2018--there was a DR against a youtube image I reviewed. I was asked to explain my review. The license had changed from CC BY 3.0 to ARR from the time I marked it. Luckily I found a second reviewer of just 1 image from that source YT account....and he said the other YT image was free when he reviewed it. Without a second reviewer, it would be just my word in that DR. That is why I feel a bit safer if there was a second reviewer or uploader of images sometimes. Sorry to disturb you. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:30, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- Yes I noticed this DR. You don't disturb me. I just wondered why you did not upload the 2 images yourself. Christian Ferrer (talk) 21:58, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

- Thanks you, happy new year for you too. Christian Ferrer (talk) 07:32, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Is this image free? This image is linked to Gbif from the source but the rights holders is Yale Peabody Museum here: http://collections.peabody.yale.edu/search/Record/YPM-IZ-069832
Yale Peabody's copyright statement is that "the Yale Peabody Museum retains all rights, copyright and other proprietary rights in content found in its web services." Very tricky gbif source design. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:49, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- Never mind, the license is indeed CCO from the Access Rights link at the GBIF source Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 21:59, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- My source for the image is https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1039226706 I putted the other link as informative, but the image is indded currently not available, I don't know why. Note that File:Psolus antarcticus (YPM IZ 055520).jpg this image is in the same case (not anymore available), but have been reviewed by you before it disapear. I don't know if it is a tecknichal issue or if they changed their mind. I have no doubt that the data set in gbif have been licenced by the legitimate owner "the Yale Peabody Museum", but you're right that the image is not currently available under a free license. Christian Ferrer (talk) 22:06, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- if the image does not reappear, I would delete it, because this is their right to change their mind, though I'm sure that it was available under a free license. @Leoboudv: do you see the image? at gbif? Christian Ferrer (talk) 22:08, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- Note that all the other images that I have uploaded from their dataset are not anymore available, e.g. File:Leptosynapta tenuis (YPM IZ 031381).jpg, File:Bathyplotes (YPM IZ 055703).jpg, File:Arbacia punctulata (YPM IZ 031119).jpg, ect, ect... I hope they did not change their mind and that they will continue to freely license their image.... Christian Ferrer (talk) 22:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- I just sent an email to the technical contact for the dataset, I hope to have an answer. Christian Ferrer (talk) 22:42, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Comment: I notice now that File:Leptosynapta tenuis (YPM IZ 031381).jpg is indeed not available at the gbif source. Luckily I reviewed it when it was still available at the source. As for this image: File:Cucumaria frondosa (YPM IZ 069832).jpg], hopefully it is a technical issue that it does not show at gbif. If not, perhaps you should file a DR on it in 1-2 weeks if there is no good reply. Right now it is a Saturday. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:31, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- No, I got an answer. There is no issues about the licenses, they confirmed that the images available in the dataset are CC0, as well as the other datas. This is a technical problem that comes from somewhere in their integrated publishing toolkit (IPT), the GBIF website is just a way to retrieve the IPT, a kind of copy. The images have also disappeared from their toolkit, and they have thanked me to have pointed that to them. They are going to investigate. Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:55, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
Comment: Thank you for resolving any problem then Christian. The image can be kept....which is good. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 09:37, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Leoboudv: Just for your info, the issue has been identified, that was a code bug at the change of year, that will be corrected tomorrow or in the next few days, and the correction will be reflected a bit later in the GBIF, as soon as they updates the databases. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:57, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks for the information. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 19:20, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Leoboudv: good news, their database seems repaired, therefore I will have the possibility to upload further cool images of echinoderms... :) Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:07, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- That is indeed good news Christian. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:53, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

File deleted
Hi. Can I ask you an explanation about the deletion of this file? It was public domain in Italy, because the author died more than 70 years ago (Gioacchino Luigi Mellucci died in 1942), so that I don't understand the reason for its deletion. Thank you very much--Parma1983 (talk) 23:52, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, in order that I can answer please give me a link or the name of the deleted file. Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:36, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- File:Urbanizzazione area-tomba Dante Alighieri, con Giulio Ulisse Arata,Ravenna.jpg--Parma1983 (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- You're right that the file is in Public Domain in Italy, but it was not in Public Domain in 1996, and the work have been published after 1923, therefore the copyright have been restored in the USA as per Commons:URAA-restored copyrights. If the info in the file is exact "date:11 April 1925", then the image will be in PD in the USA 95 year after, we can restore it in 2021. The image is already listed in Category:Undelete in 2021. Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:46, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, I didn't know that law.
- I ask you a favor, considering that for the moment that image can't be be uploaded here on commons. Could you restore it in order to move it to it.wiki? There can be uploaded as PD-Italia without any problem. Thanks--Parma1983 (talk) 17:11, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Parma1983: that is done, let me know when it have been transfered Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I've just downloaded the file. As soon as you delete it I upload the same image on it.wiki--Parma1983 (talk) 18:05, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of my Files
Hello, I have UPLOADED only two files, which I want to delete them now. I made a request for doing that as I am the uploader of the files, but The request was not accepted. So I need your help to delete them, please. الرشيد (talk) 01:59, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hello, The files are used in other projects, that's mean that the files likely fall within the Commons scope. "I want to delete them now" looks like a non sufficiant reason. Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
OK, thank you. الرشيد (talk) 03:34, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
2 images
Dear Christian,
Please review these images below when you can.
- File:The Honest Critique.jpg
- @Yajushrao: in a talk page, the new messages must be written at the bottom of the page, not at the top. One file is a painting with an unclear copyright status, it is likely not acceptable here unless there is an evidence that it is in Public Domain, but the author, date, country have to be known in order to determine the copyright status. In the other file you write "source: email", for this one the copyright holder of the photo must send a permission to OTRS, where you can read how to do it. Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:51, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
Bonjour et merci pour vos remarques, Par contre je ne comprends pas la suppression de mon image que j'ai réalisé entièrement. Je souhaite donc la réintégrer sur la page. Je vous serai grée de ne plus supprimer cette image CR_wiki.jpg Je reste à votre écoute toutefois, étant nouveau sur la communauté.

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)
Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...
Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 November or Thursday, 10 November 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:
- Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
- Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
- Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.
Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.
Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Captions in January

Or celle ci à été supprimer et je ne peu plus l’insérer dans mon wiki.

- Bonjour, vous ne pouvez pas télécharger ici ce que vous trouvez sur internet, à moins qu'il ny ai une license explicitement compatible. Voir com:scope et com:Licensing. C'est le même chose si vous prenez des éléments d’autres images que vous trouvez sur internet, par exemples des voitures, ordinateurs, ect, ect.. et que vous fabriquez une nouvelle image à partir de ces éléments. Cela s'appelle un travail dérivée, et donc dans ce cas il y a aussi des problèmes de copyrights, par exemple le nuage de cette image File:Cycle fonction radio cognitive.jpg bien que la couleur soit différente, est un dérivé du nuage que l'on peut voir ici, et aussi à d'autres endroits.

Le bandeau nouveau !
Bonjour et tous mes vœux pour 2019. Depuis quelques jours nous avons sur nos images un nouveau bandeau qui nous demande une légende. Est-il possible de ne pas avoir ce bandeau pour ceux qui n’en ont pas l’utilité ? --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:36, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

COM:CRT/Canada: {{Cat see also}}
You restored the {{Cat see also}} link to Category:Canadian FOP cases in COM:CRT/Canada with this diff. I had replaced it with a simple link in the ==See also== section. See User talk:4nn1l2#Permission to translate. The question is whether it is practical to maintain versions of pages like Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Canada in two or more languages, English and French in this case. Creating translations that will not be maintained would be worse than useless. {{Cat see also}} is one of the minor things that need to be fixed. The bigger issues are whether the translation extension mark-up is too complex/fragile and whether we can track and fix outdated translations. You may want to comment at User talk:4nn1l2#Permission to translate. Thanks, Aymatth2 (talk) 13:23, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for your maintenance work. I have no strong opinions about the relevance or about the need to use {{Cat see also}} or not. I did not know that my edit was a potential issue. I just want to have this kind of links ("Category:xxxx FOP cases") available easily, because when doing my administrator job it happens frequently that I close FoP relative DRs, and once the work is done, I put the DRs in the corresponding subcategories of the one which we talk about. If you prefer that next time I use something other than {{Cat see also}} so let me know. Regards, Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- I prefer "See also Category:xxx FOP cases" because {{Cat see also}} sometimes gives bizarre translations in an inappropriate language, but it is a minor point. Do you have any thoughts on whether pages like this should be maintained in two languages? It seems logical to have COM:CRT/France maintained in French by French speakers, with a passive translation in English. But it may be difficult to keep the versions in sync, particularly in countries where we have few contributors. I am quite undecided. Thoughts? Aymatth2 (talk) 18:35, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- In fact I did not notice that the link was already given at the bottom of the page, I reverted my edit. I think that all those pages should be in English, because the pages have to be quickly and easily understood by all the administrators and by the other editors interested in maintenance work. If translations are available, so it is good, especially a version in the langage from the country of which we look for. But firstly in English IMO. Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:49, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
- I fully agree that there must be an English version, and would like a local language version if practical, but would not want to start local language versions that become outdated and misleading. Thanks for the feedback. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:55, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Fini les échinos ?
Bonjour Christian, ça fait un moment que je suis tes imports pour m'occuper d'utiliser au mieux les images d'échinodermes, que j'ai réparties sur les articles ad hoc. Je vois que tu n'en as plus téléversé depuis un moment et que tu sembles être passé aux poissons et nudibanches, as-tu terminé d'exploiter tes mines ou est-ce seulement une passade et je pourrai bientôt revoir fleurir les étoiles de mer dans ta liste d'imports ? Merci et bon week-end ! FredD (talk) 14:44, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Bonjour FredD, non pas du tout, en fait en recherchant justement des images d'échinodermes j'ai trouvé cet album, j'ai ensuite constaté que ce photographe avait aussi de très très belle photos souvent en haute résolution d'autres espèces du monde sous-marin, dont quelque espèces que nous n'avons pas ici. Donc j'ai décidé de télécharger ses images ici de manière exhaustive. Dès que j'aurais terminé, je reprendrai les échinodermes... et mes mines sont très loin d’être taries.... Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:34, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, me voilà rassuré... :) Je guette tout particulièrement les oursins, car j'ai pour rôle de les illustrer sur WoRMS, la base de données taxinomique de référence (mais il me faut des photos en super qualité, avec une origine sûre et une identificabilité certaine). Sur les 950 espèces connues, j'ai réussi à en illustrer à peine un tiers jusqu'ici. D'ailleurs, si tu connais un moyen de tirer la liste exacte des espèces d'oursins ayant une illustration sur Commons, pour la comparer avec une liste similaire sur WoRMS, ça m'arrangerait ! Bonne continuation, FredD (talk) 19:22, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
Pour la liste, tout ce que je peux te proposer c'est une liste des oursins sur wikidata qui ont une catégorie Commons renseignée, qui dit catégorie dit média, mais la liste n'est pas forcément exhaustive. Pour accéder aux liens vers les catégories il faut que tu rentre dans la page des "item"s.
SELECT ?item ?rankLabel ?cat_gorie_Commons WHERE {
?item (wdt:P171/wdt:P171*) wd:Q83483.
?item wdt:P105 ?rank.
SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P373 ?cat_gorie_Commons. }
FILTER(EXISTS { ?item wdt:P105 wd:Q7432. })

Du travail !
Bonjour Christian,
Tu t'ennuies ? J'espère, parce que voici du travail : toute l'expédition du Challenger (la plus grande oeuvre de l'histoire de la taxinomie marine) vient d'être mise en ligne, ici, avec toutes ses planches d'illustrations (pas forcément toutes utiles, il y a sans doute du tri à faire). Au hasard, si tu ne sais pas par où commencer, les oursins sont là... Le most serait évidemment d'individualiser chaque espèce (comme je l'avais fait faire pour Haeckel), et de reblanchir la couleur de fond, mais bien sûr fais ce que tu peux. ;) Bon courage, FredD (talk) 15:14, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- en effet il y a du boulot, merci pour le lien Christian Ferrer (talk) 16:35, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Once again I upload files from publicly accessible places that are laid out without any copyright and once again the file is deleted. Please explain how to upload files obtained on publicly accessible pages of various sites without copyright infringements, in order to be used to improve Wikipedia pages?

How to upload a photo to his Wikipedia page without copyright infringement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skill03 (talk • contribs) 07:39, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
- Hello "publicly accessible" don't mean not mean that you can do what you want. Our most relevant policies can be read there : com:Licensing and com:Scope. To have the possibility to upload here an image, in order to improve Wikipedia page, this image must have an explicite free license, or you must only upload the photos taken by yourself.

Image of Pete Demers
Hi there - I have tried to get a picture undeleted. It has been ridiculously frustrating and there is very little clarity. In fact, I've been bounced from editor to editor and the last editor whose page I was engaged with closed edits, to basically shut me down. I have no idea why my proposed content has been so brutally penalized. I have full permission to use the image, I have ownership of the image, and I have permission to use the contents of the pictured plaque. The image was voted for deletion on Jan. 4 and I had very little opportunity to advocate for it. It seems this whole process happens in secret and with very little to no transparency. I have a simple picture, to go with a simple entry. I am editing the entry to resubmit it but this simple matter of a photograph has spiraled out of control. Can you please help? Thank you - MarionPB (talk)
- Hello, the photo is a work protected by copyright law; if you are the photographer, then you own the copyright of the photo and you have the right to publish here under a free license cc-by-sa-4.0, as you did, fine. If you are not the photographer then we need that the photographer send an explicit permission by mail to our permission system, that they agrre to publish their photo under such license.
Second and main issue : the Hockey Hall of Fame plaque is also under copyright protection, more precisely the text and the image are protected by copyright. As your photo show this plaque, then your photo is a derivative work of this plaque. We need a permission from the copyright holders of the text and of the image shown on the plaque, note that Peter G. Demers himself is likely not the copyright holder, even if he own physically the plaque. This also can be done via our permission system. Hope this help. Regards, Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:47, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for clearing up that request. I do have permission from the copyright holder of the plaque - I shared that early on so that's why I am confused about why the picture was deleted. I do have all copyright permissions. Thank you MarionPB (talk) 10:14, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

This DR
Dear Christian,
If you are confident and brave, please feel free to make a vote to keep or delete in this DR. It has 2 contradictory licenses. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:27, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
- Hello, it's done, you right. I know this very well because I already asked clarifications to the Smithsonian Institution, example for [5], you can see a free license for the record (occurence), but at bottom you will see a web statement for the images. They confirmed by mail that the images are not under the same license than the record. That is the same thing here, a license for the record and another license for the image. Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:26, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Comment: Wow! Thank You Christian for your reply in the DR above. From this example you gave, I would have thought the license was cc-zero. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:31, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Christian,
you deleted a picture of Wilhelm Cauer because of unclear copyright status. This picture is a family heritage of my grandfather Wilhelm Cauer and I own the copyright of this photograph taken 1935. Please help me to undo the deletion of this image.

2 Pixabay images
Dear Christian,
Could you please review these 2 Pixabay images which were uploaded to Pixabay before 9 January 2019 and therefore was {{CC0}} at upload on that site.
Just check the image sources and they will tell the upload date to Pixabay. To review, Replace Pixabay in the license with subst:PBLR

- That is what I did here: File:Children holding hands together.png & here: File:Westcott Building and fountain at Florida State University.jpg
I am originally from Malaysia and came to Canada at age 15. I am part of the 10% Christian minority. 65% of Malysians are Muslims but I am Catholic. I did say in my userpage that I came from Malaysia. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 03:59, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
Done It seems there is a big weather difference between Malaysia and Canada, I guess your home country should miss you a bit. Until about the same age as you, 15, I lived in Normandy, also in France but which has a different climate than Sète. And if I may, however, I should like to say that I am bored with the north or northwest winds, called respectively Tramontane and Mistral, that are ubiquitous in my current region. I prefer the rainy and much less windy climate of Normandy. Christian Ferrer (talk) 07:12, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thank You for your help Christian. I was in Malaysia in July 2017 and the weather was very hot...in the mid to high 30's Celsius. My cousin near Kuala Lumpur told me a few days ago on WhatsApp it was 39 Celsius. That is the price for living so close to the equator in the tropics. Its just hot and humid. The Canadian winters are bad when there is snow but luckily it rains more in Vancouver than it snows most of the time. Best Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:32, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
