Ancinet Chinese Coins

Hi, DO you know any where to get (ie purchase) Asian coins? I've been wanting to get some and you seem like an expert on coins. 98.109.59.215 12:46, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

I personally stopped buying them in large numbers several years ago, eBay, Marktplaats.nl, Etc. Are usually good but a lot of fakes, and I mean a lot of fakes are online, it's best to mostly use a trusted seller, you could consult lists like Lars Bo Christensen's list of eBay dealers or the Fake Chinese Cash on eBay blog. Personally I would advise you to buy them only from trusted sellers. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:06, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

bat note?

what is the bat note mentioned in your edit motice — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 50.243.70.217 (talk) 16:15, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

@50.243.70.217: It's a Zhenjiangian (as in "from Zhenjiang") banknote issued during the Qing Dynasty which features an image of five (5) bats 🦇, this is a visual pun referencing the "five blessings" (longevity ‘shou’ (壽), wealth ‘fu’ (富), health and composure ‘kangning’ (康寧), love of virtue ‘xin hao de’ (修好德), and the desire to have a peaceful death in old age ‘kao zhong ming’ (考終命)." from the English Wikipedia), as the Mandarin 🍊 Chinese word for "bat" sounds like "blessing", "lucky" or "happy" they are used as a visual pun. "Bat-note 🦇" itself is a reference to an online meme where people justify the DC (Detective Comics) Comics 💭 book protagonist Bruce Wayne who under his alter ego Batman (sometimes written as "the Bat-man") can do feats that would be impossible for a normal human being displaying both impossible wit and strength, as he is known for going toe-to-toe with the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman, and even Darkseid his fans always exclaim the lazy writing for when his authors suddenly make him capable enough to fight these adversaries (or in the first two cases allies) is due to the fact that "he's Batman" without ever giving an actual plausible in-universe 🌌 explanation. I combined the two and created "Bat-note" because... Why not, it's the same level of lazy writing that gave us the Joker cutting off his own face and then having it randomly re-grown while another character called "Joker's daughter" is still carrying his "old face" in other issues. But welcome to the world's of Chinese symbolism and American comic books I guess... --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:30, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Correction: The word I was looking for is "rebus" as it's both a visual pun and a homophonic pun. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:37, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Videoplasty

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Videoplasty

"To close it off, my advice to Videoplasty would be to change the required attribution on their license to something people don't want to see, something that really disrupts like those messages at free trials like say “This animation was provided to you by Videoplasty.com, to use this animation without paying a fee this message should be prominently displayed at 600% the size of the animation below or besides it, if you want to stop seeing this message then please go to m.videoplast.com/NAME OF THE SHOP”"

Euh nee zo werkt het dus niet: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-insist-on-the-exact-placement-of-the-attribution-credit

"No. CC licenses allow for flexibility in the way credit is provided depending on the medium, means, and context in which a licensee is redistributing licensed material. For example, providing attribution to the creator when using licensed material in a blog post may be different than doing so in a video remix. This flexibility facilitates compliance by licensees and reduces uncertainty about different types of reuse—minimizing the risk that overly onerous and inflexible attribution requirements are simply disregarded."

Filibusteren in de attributie is leuk bedacht maar die vlieger gaat ook niet op: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode

"identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);"

Filibusteren in de attributie is niet "reasonable". Voor de rest, de hele bende is allang integraal veiliggesteld op meerdere plaatsen dus dat krijgen ze niet meer offline. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 02:42, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: Ah, ik dacht al dat ik die lijst wat beter door moest lezen, blijkbaar hadden zij een watermerk op al hun animaties moeten plaatsen. Nu is het tijd voor Eduard om snel terug naar de tekentafel te gaan en honderd nieuwe plaatjes maken. 😅 Ik zie wel dat zijn website boven Wikipedia staat als je met Ecosia zoekt en Eduard Stinga zei hier:

https://videoplasty.com/about-us/#.W2U6deduJEI

"Looking around online to see what other options there are, I realised all the other sites charge an arm and a leg for their stock animation and stock footage and have highly restrictive licensing, that you need a lawyer to even understand it.

(ik denk dat dit citaat te kort is om door auteursrecht beschermd te worden)

En erg jammer voor hem, maar de eerste punt in z'n marketing "Our stock is 100% exclusive and original", exclusief hoort nu "gratis" te zijn. En sinds hij ook z'n animaties aan ziekenhuizen wil verkopen denk ik om eerlijk te zijn door deze animaties op Wikimedia Commons te behouden dat wij de onzinnige uitgaven van wat ziekenhuizen kunnen reduceren. 😜 (niet veel natuurlijk, maar deze animaties hebben toch een educatieve waarde) en trouwens bedankt voor het verbeteren van die schilderij, als je je ooit echt verveeld kan je altijd een sag lang op "willekeurig" klikken. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 05:37, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Ze hebben nog een boel meer dan wat hier op Commons staat (links via https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/get-videoplasty-stock-video-stock-images-sound-effects.1004129/) en exclusief, nouja, het verscheen natuurlijk eerst op hun website. Uiteindelijk, als ze meer animaties/afbeeldingen maken kunnen ze best verdienen en kan Commons ze daar ook mee helpen. Als iemand een video maakt met de zut die ze op Commons hebben gezet en dan nog net een ander figuurtje of object nodig heeft, dan wil je dat natuurlijk het liefst in dezelfde stijl. En als ze dat dan verkopen..
Die ziekenhuizen zullen dan wel hun creaties ook weer vrij moeten geven met Creative Commons GelijkDelen licentie. Zou wel mooi zijn natuurlijk. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 08:04, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
Je zou trouwens ✓[OK] kunnen gebruiken i.p.v.  Reason 1. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 18:12, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
@Alexis Jazz: dat dacht ik eerst ook, maar het lijkt mij om eerlijk te zijn dan als een soort "checklijst" dan een opsomming van redenen voor het behoud van de ter verwijdering genomineerde media-bestanden. Ik snap nog steeds niet dat er systeem-beheerders (hoort hier een streepje tussen?) zijn die verwijderingsverzoeken als een verkiezing zien, het gaat om de argumenten die gemaakt worden, niet hoe vaak er een argument of icoontje tevoorschijn komt. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:58, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Trouwens uit het hierboven vermelde citaat had de heer Eduard Stinga toch beter eerst een advocaat of een rechtshulpbureau kunnen raadplegen voordat hij zijn winstkoeien aan Wikimedia Commons doneerde. (Niet dat ~Riley hem al gewaarschuwd had.) --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:01, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Het is strict geen stemming, maar als er geen sprake is van schending van auteursrechten oid dan is de mening van de community wel belangrijk. Jouw opsomming zag er dan toch wel vreemd uit.
Systeembeheerder moet aan elkaar, maar deze functie zou ik in het Nederlands geen systeembeheerder noemen. Een systeembeheerder werkt voor een organisatie en zorgt dat de computers blijven draaien. Forumbeheerder kan wel, maar een wiki is meer dan een forum. Wikibeheerder zou kunnen maar is zover ik weet geen woord wat ook echt in gebruik is. In het Nederlands noemen we dit meestal een moderator of modje (niet te verwarren met motje). - Alexis Jazz ping plz 13:39, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
@Alexis Jazz: Dat is waar, maar in dit geval vraagt een bedrijfsleider om zijn gedoneerde en educatieve media-bestanden te verwijderen terwijl de vrije licentie hetzelfde blijft, dit is eerder censuur dan iets anders, theoretisch gezien mag iedereen weer de verwijderde bestanden naar Wikimedia Commons uploaden, zeggen dat het een vrije (dus commercieel bruikbare) licentie heeft en feitelijk gezien mogen zij dan niet weer verwijderd worden (gebeurd wel, maar hoort niet zo). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:43, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
Dat zou dan per Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion#G4 gaan. De vraag zal dan zijn of we educatieve derivate werken gaan weren. Of ze nu verwijderd worden of niet, de bestanden blijven sowieso beschikbaar met vrije licentie. Ik ben al bezig een educatief derivaat werk (Puzzly is stom). - Alexis Jazz ping plz 19:55, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
@Alexis Jazz: persoonlijk vindt ik dat Puzzly te weinig uitlegt voor mensen die hier nieuw op de WC 🚽 zijn, is G4 wel geldig voor daadwerkelijk vrije en educatieve bestanden? Regels handhaven omdat het een regel is al spreekt die regel alle andere regels tegen lijkt zot, maar zo werkt het. Hoe ver ben je trouwens met je OTRS-alternatief? WC lijkt constant meer werk te eisen, er is hier wel altijd wat te doen en als je je focus verliest kunnen je plannen behoorlijk achter gaan lopen. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:29, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
