Alles Gute und viel Erfolg für 2016, Daniel

unbekannterweise aus Österreich. Ich möchte mich an dieser Stelle einmal dafür bedanken, was du mit der Verwaltung der QI zustandegebracht hast. Ein ganz wichtiger Bereich von Commons, ist er doch eine gute Möglichkeit, Commons über das Ablegen von Bildern hinaus auch noch eine Wertigkeit für einen Teil der Bilder herauszustreichen. Für uns in Österreich, wo über WMAT sehr viel Anstrengung unternommen wird, nicht nur viele Bilder zu schaffen sondern auch viele Teilnehmer in diese Prozesse einzubinden, ist es ein gutes Werkzeug, welches wir noch verstärkt fördern wollen. Motive gäbe es ja genug bei uns - wie woanders natürlich auch. Gruß aus Wien! --Hubertl 11:12, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Hallo Hubertl, vielen Dank fuer die Blumen! Wuensche ein Frohes Neues Jahr. Ich muss mir mal den Vorsatz machen meine bots etwas besser zu babysitten (Zeit ist so knapp!). Gruss --Dschwen (talk) 16:55, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Category:Media needing category review as of 30 December 2015

This category is missing. Daily categories for category review normally seem to be created by your bot, so is there something wrong with the bot? --Stefan2 (talk) 00:47, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Hmm, good question Stefan2 . The bot picked up its work the next day. Sometimes there are intermittent failures on tool labs. The bot runs once a day. If labs is having problems at that time it apparently misses its run. --Dschwen (talk) 16:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Problem mit einer Nominierung

lb Daniel, seit Tagen dümpelt ein bereits entschiedenes Bild im CR-Bereich herum, der Bot hat damit Probleme. Ich kann aber nicht erkennen, was falsch ist und den Bot hindert, das abzuarbeiten. Kannst du hier mal nachschauen? Vielen Dank! --Hubertl 13:43, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

OTRS received

Hi Dschwen, there might be something broken with your bot. A few days ago it stopped creating the daily OTRS received category. I had to create e.g. Category:OTRS received as of 1 February 2016 manually. Jcb (talk) 22:28, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

@Jcb: thanks for letting me know. I fixed it. The bot had decided to log out after a few years in operation :-). --Dschwen (talk) 00:15, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Curation of {{LargeImage}}

Hi Dschwen... your bot seems to no longer perform {{LargeImage}} template removals from small files (e.g. File:Johann_Strauss_II_by_Fritz_Luckhardt.jpg). I only checked about 3 weeks of the bot's edits, though. Is this intentional? Apparently the User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js (edited: this appears to be related to Gallica actually) automatically adds {{LargeImage}}, and some people use it for all their uploads. Storkk (talk) 11:33, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

@Storkk: Sorry for the delay, I had to fix this bot as it was hopelessly outdated. It is running now. --Dschwen (talk) 15:13, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

I see the bot working, but not removing {{LargeImage}} from small files. Has this function been retired? Cheers, Storkk (talk) 10:27, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

No, that part of the bot code is active and should run/ Let me investigate. --Dschwen (talk) 20:35, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Dschwen... can I ping you on this by any chance? Storkk (talk) 22:50, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Koordinaten aus EXIF

Hallo, es scheint so, als ob der bot seit einigen Tagen keine Koordianten aus Exif Daten mehr in die Beschreibungsseite einfügt. Kann das sein? --Berthold Werner (talk) 14:55, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Berthold, ich habe den bot mal wieder angeschubst. Danke fuer die Nachricht! --Dschwen (talk) 15:11, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Es ist wohl immer noch (oder schon wieder) so, dass es trotz des vorhandenen Templates "GPS EXIF" nicht funktioniert, oder ist der Zeitraum größer geworden? --Friedo (talk) 17:02, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Promotion von File:ITA Firenze Basilica di Santa Croce 2.jpg

Hallo Daniel, könntest du bitte mal prüfen, warum dein Bot sich dazu entschlossen hat, File:ITA Firenze Basilica di Santa Croce 2.jpg vorzeitig zu promoten? Die Diskussion war noch keine drei Tage alt, der letzte Beitrag gerade ein paar Stunden her, und es stand 3:3 (siehe Commons:Quality_images_candidates/Archives_March_22_2016 ganz unten). Danke und Gruß, Tkarcher (talk) 09:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Hallo, mein bot entschliesst sich eigentlich zu gar nichts, der hat naemlich keinen eigenen Willen, und befolgt nur Befehle, die ihm Commons user geben :-). Hier war es z.B. Hubertl (talk · contribs) in diesem edit, in dem er den Status fuer das Bild auf promote getsetzt hat. --Dschwen (talk) 19:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

@Tkarcher: Das Bild stand 10 Tage in der Diskussion. Dass ich auf Promotion gestellt habe war ein Fehler von mir, ich hätte von Discuss auf Nomination stellen müssen, nicht Promotion. Ich habe das aber einen Tag darauf repariert. Sonst hätte der Bot ja nix getan. Wenn 6 Tage nach der letzten Stimmentscheidung das Consensual Review beendet wird (ob von mir oder von jemanden anderen), ist das mehr als regelkonform. Diskussionsbeiträge sind natürlich möglich, aber können die Entscheidung sicher dann nicht aufschieben, wenn dieser letzte Beitrag vom Nominator kommt - der ja auch bereits 5 Tage alt war. Ich habe es dir bereits (erinnerlich) auf deiner Disku geschrieben. Die Entscheidung ist übrigens neutral, weder gibt es eine Ablehnung noch die Unterstützung für das Bild. Das bedeutet, du kannst es zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt wieder nominieren. Bitte lies das, was ich dir geschrieben habe, genau durch! --Hubertl 20:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Es hatte doch eine Wirkung, der Bot hat nicht auf das Resultat, sondern nur auf den Begriff Promotion reagiert. Ich habe das nun repariert indem ich die Vorlage gelöscht habe. Die Datei ist nun jungfräulich. Sorry, kleine Ursache, große Wirkung. --Hubertl 20:41, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

@Dschwen: Seit dem Desaster mit den über 8000 unkategorisierten QIs auf der Recently Removed-Seite habe ich das Verteilen übernommen. Wenn man Übung hat, geht es ganz flott, soferne man die verfügbaren "Kategorien" im Kopf hat. Ich hätte aber wegen des Abarbeitens einen Wunsch - wenns unproblematisch ist: Die Verteilung der zuvor gewählten Kategorie mit gehaltener Strg-Taste ist super, aber es passiert leider immer wieder, das man ohne zusätzlicher Taste auf ein Bild klickt. Dann ist die bereits durchgeführte Verteilung futsch. Ist mir heute beim 70. Bild passiert. Zwar selten, aber nicht das erste Mal. Könntest du den normalen Klick mit der linken Maustaste auf ein Bild mit dem Öffnen in einem neuen Tab verknüpfen und die Aktion im selben Tab verhindern? Kann auch theoretisch ein pop-up-Window sein. Gruß aus Wien --Hubertl 20:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

@Hubertl: Klar, das kann ich betimmt machen. Eigentlich sollten solche webformulare auch den Zustand im browser speichern, falls man versehentlich weg surft. Das ist echt schlechter Stil von mir :-D. --Dschwen (talk) 15:23, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Wenns mit dem Browsercache geht, dann ist es noch besser. --Hubertl 15:40, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Ich arbeite jetzt gerade dran. In der Zeit kann es ab un an mal zu Fehlern mit dem script kommen. Vorsicht bitte. --Dschwen (talk) 15:48, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Ok, Hubertl, die Basisfunktionalitaet ist da. Cache loeschen, dann geh mal auf recently promoted, setzte ein paar kategorien . Schliess das tab und mach die Seite nochmal auf! --Dschwen (talk) 16:06, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Es gibt ein Problem, wenn man "Hide processed images" anklickt. Das kann man aktuell ausprobieren, weil noch 14 Stk. nicht verarbeitet sind. An sich sollten alle weg sein außer diesen 14 . Ist aber gemischt vorhanden. --Hubertl 16:12, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Es werden nur die fest abgespeicherten... aaacch ich weiss was los ist! Ok, ich arbeite gleich nochmal dran. Danke! --Dschwen (talk) 16:39, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Ok, sollte jetzt erstmal fertig sein. Die Auswahl wird jetzt im Browser abgespeichert. Wenn das Kategorisieren unterbrochen wurde und die Seite neu geladen wird wird die alte Auswahl wiederhergestellt! Dabei werden Bilder, die on-wiki unkategorisiert sind Gelb umrahmt. Falls die Bilder on-wiki mit der gleichen Kategorie versehen sind wie im temporaeren Speicher erhalten sie einen Gruenen Rahmen (wie alle erledigten Bilder). Fall ein Bild jedoch on-wiki mit einer anderen Kategorie gespeichert ist als im tempraeren Speicher (falls jemand anderes inzwischen schon die Seite bearbeitet hat) dann erhaellt das Bild einen Orangenen Rahmen, deine letzte Auswahl wird wieder hergestellt, und die Kategorie, die auf der Seite abgespeichert ist erscheint fett im dropdown menue. --Dschwen (talk) 20:27, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Wrong geo coordinate after EXIF extraction

Hello Dschwen, For File:Tours Saint Jacques07 2016-04-29.jpg DschwenBot has added a wrong geoposition, close to but not exactly 1N 1E. Correct object location (from fr.wikipedia) is 45° 45′ 38.73″ N, 6° 04′ 25.48″ E but the copter was ~100m away. Workflow was .DNG --> dcraw --> .TIFF --> hugin --> .JPG --> gimp --> .JPG please tell if I should investigate or upload intermediate files for debugging. Best regards -- KlausFoehl (talk) 09:26, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

P.S. DschwenBot has already flagged them as wrong in the source text of the page. -- KlausFoehl (talk) 09:47, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Weird. I'll have to look into this. I should probably not write any template if some of the GPS tags are identified as broken. I don't know if hugin preserves the EXIF. You can always copy the exif info from one of the original files over to the final output. --Dschwen (talk) 21:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Running ubuntu 14.04 LTS, I use hugin and dcraw coming with it. To help diagnosis, I've uploaded a TIFF File:Tours Saint Jacques07 2016-04-19-tiff.tiff (wrong date...) as produced by dcraw. That is before hugin (no use of enblend as single image) in the workflow. After hugin but before gimp it is File:Tours Saint Jacques03 2016-04-29.jpg. Unfortunately one cannot upload DNG, that is the original file format I am using from the Parrot Bebop copter (the JPEG images are too agressively filtered to be useful, see File:Brettheim Hohenloher Ebene01 2015-11-01.jpg for example). -- KlausFoehl (talk) 11:15, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

P.S. File:Tours Saint Jacques07 2016-04-29-original.jpeg the JPEG saved at the same time. sed s/sea level/start point altitude/ -- KlausFoehl (talk) 11:23, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

From revisiting the files from my workflow, and looking at the file pages on commons, it looks to me that after the sequence dcraw hugin all is still fine, but going through gimp 2.8.10 seems to turn the EXIF GPS into something your bot cannot digest. Been fooled by User:Pmau having manually added a location. -- KlausFoehl (talk) 11:35, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Unblocking BrunoMed

Hello. I have a request for unblock on my talk page from User:BrunoMed, who is marked as a sock of User:Mconti94. The request seems reasonable, seeing as it's been well over a year and we've seen no disruption. But I wanted to get your second opinion seeing as he did, uh, threaten to kill you (youthful mistakes, to assume good faith?). Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:09, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

I'm going to unblock because I don't have sufficient evidence that these are the same account. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 02:56, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello Magog the Ogre, thanks for asking. I was a bit absent due to work travels and busy-ness. I honestly don't remember that "death threat" and the unblock is fine by me. --Dschwen (talk) 18:51, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Recently promoted page

lb Daniel, ich hatte heute einen Bearbeitungskonflikt - nachdem ich alles abgearbeitet habe - und nun den Salat. Das Script schreibt offenbar während des Abarbeitens das Ergebnis in ein temporäres File (welches ich nicht finde), wenn man es nicht abspeichern kann (BK) bleibt es drinnen und ist nicht mehr bearbeitbar. Es ginge zwar händisch, aber es sollte eine Möglichkeit geben, dieses temporäre file zu löschen, damit man dort weitermachen kann, wo man eben scheiterte. Hast du eine Lösung? Auch ist die Liste der zu vergebenden Kategorien für mich (als Nichtprogrammierer) nicht abrufbar. Das sind so die Momente, die viel Zeit kosten. --Hubertl 05:56, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Eine Lösung wäre, dass der Cache (der offenbar sehr resistent ist) nach dem Speichern auch gleich gelöscht wird. Dann kann man dort weitermachen, wo noch nichts gemacht wurde. Die Liste der Kategorien habe ich inzwischen im QIhelperNews.js gefunden.--Hubertl 06:40, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Hubertl! Das mit dem nach dem speichern loeschen ist so eine Sache. Ich schau mal, ob ich das hinkriege. Das script schreibt die Bearbeitungen in den LocalStorage vom browser. Das kannst Du loeschen (welchen browser verwendest Du denn?). Ich muss zugeben, dass ich noch nicht ganz verstehe, was bei einem BK schief gehten kann mit dem script, und warum es dazu fuehrt, dass man nicht weiter arbeiten kann. --Dschwen (talk) 18:48, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Hm, ich verwende Firefox. Das Problem entstand in dem Moment, dass ich die Bilder abgearbeitet habe, offenbar wurden die Ergebnisse bis zum endgültigen Speichern im LocalStorage gespeichert - dann aber - weil BK - nicht wirklich auf dem Server gesichert. Ich hätte theoretisch die Arbeit des Anderen zuvor einfach überschreiben können, aber das tut man ja nicht. Danach spielte mir eben der LocalStorage einen Streich, indem er so tat als wäre es gespeichert, ich dadurch aber nichts ändern konnte. Im Prinzip hätte ich einfach den Browser wechseln können. Aber wie lösche ich einen LocalStorage? Er hält sich ja nicht einen Tag. Denn am Tag darauf war für mich nichts anderes als am Tag davor. Das hat mich eben gewundert. --Hubertl 21:58, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Hallo, vorab mal Danke für den Bot, der diese Daten überträgt: [6]. In letzter Zeit "übersieht" er aber einige (meiner) Fotos, wo das anstehen würde, beispielsweise [7] oder [8] oder [9] usw. Kann ich davon ausgehen, dass in nächster Zeit die Koordinaten doch noch übertragen werden oder soll ich anfangen diese händisch einzutragen? Gruß Bwag (talk) 09:22, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Ähm, fehlt bei deinen Bildern vielleicht das Template GPS EXIF? --XRay ^talk 10:07, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Dieses Template habe ich nie gesetzt und trotzdem fand früher der Bot die Datei und las zu 99% aufwärts innerhalb von ein bis drei Tagen die Datei aus. Bwag (talk) 10:13, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Danke für die Nichtantwort und vergiss es, ich trage künftig händisch die Koordinaten ein. Bwag (talk) 18:47, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Dschwen: in der Kategorie Category:Media with GPS EXIF sammeln sich inzwischen 166 Bilder. Ich wüsste einfach gerne, wie es prinzipell weiter geht. Dein Service lief ja lange Phasen ziemlich zuverlässig. Hin und wieder holperte es. Wenn ich wüßte, das du den Service einstellst, würde ich mir ein lokales Script schreiben das die Bilder vor dem Hochladen mit exiftool auswertet und eine Bildbeschreibungsseite erstellt. Lieber wäre mir, wenn ich nicht programmieren bräuchte. Danke für kurze Antwort --Gerold Rosenberg (talk) 15:01, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Hmm. Irgendwie habe ich das auch schon einen Abschnitt darüber angemerkt. Leider sind mittlerweile die vierfache Anzahl Bilder darin. Dabei lief das immer gut. Für die eigenen Bilder habe ich mittlerweile eine eigene Lösung - ein lokaler Bot, der die Aufgabe mit erledigt - gefunden. --XRay ^talk 15:35, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

Panorama-Viewer wirft Fehler

Hi! Kannst Du mir sagen, warum der viewer bei diesem Panorama einen DataBaseError wirft, und was ich dagegen tun kann? // Martin K. (talk) 12:38, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Tut er doch gar nicht. Zumindest nicht mehr. Evtl. war ein Teil von Labs einfach down :-/ --Dschwen (talk) 20:45, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Mittlerweile geht's auch bei mir wieder. Das trat aber immer nur dann auf, wenn er meinte die HighRes-Version laden zu können...

Allerdings hab ich jetzt das Problem, dass sich z.B. bei diesem Bild die Anzeige im Viewr nicht aktualisiert, wenn man eine neue Version hochlädt. Muss man da irgendwie manuell purgen?! Und wenn ja: wie? // Martin K. (talk) 14:42, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Entschuldige, dass ich nochmal nerve. Aber bei diesem Bild wir auch eine knappe Woche, nach dem ich eine korrigierte Version drüber geladen habe, immer noch die Version mit dem Stitchingfehler im Boden angezeigt. Kann es sein, dass eine einmal erzeugte gekachelte Ansicht einfach nie wieder aktualisiert wird? Falls ja:

• Kannst Du kurzfristig dafür sorgen, dass die Kacheln von diesem Bild gelöscht werden, damit es updated und ich es endlich für WLM einreichen kann?
• Kann man mittelfristig irgendeinen Mechanismus einbauen, der manuel oder idealerweise automatisch, den Kachel-Cache löscht, wenn eine neue Version drüber geladen wird?

Wäre wirklich super, wenn Du mir da weiterhelfen könntest. // Martin K. (talk) 09:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Dasselbe Aktualisierungsproblem hab ich jetzt übrigens hier und hier. Wäre super, wenn Du auch die irgendwie aus dem Servercache löschen könntest. // Martin K. (talk) 08:15, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Weiterentwicklung PanoramaViewer

Da im Rahmen von WLM2016 in Deutschland einie Panoramen eingereicht wurden habe, ich mal eine kleine Vorlage zur Anbindung des Viewers an die Wikipedia geschrieben. Der Player dürfte also in der de.WP zukünftig immer häufiger eingesetzt werden. Daher wäre es gut, wenn wir neben den oben beschriebenen Problem noch folgendes angehen könnten:

• Aktuell enthält die Panorama-Anzeige ja weder einen Link zur Bilddetailseite noch eine lizenzgerechte CC-Attribution. Da das strenggenommen ein Lizenzverstoß ist, müsste man zumindest einen Link einbauen - besser wäre eine Info-Leiste wie beim Media-Player.

Gerne kann ich Dich bei diesen Dingen unterstützen. Ich bin in HTML/CSS/JS auch ziemlich sattelfest, habe aber keine Ahnung vom Tools-Server und den MediaWiki-Workflow. Du müsstest mir da also ggf. ein paar Tipps geben. // Martin K. (talk) 09:57, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

Hallo Martin, sorry fuer die spaete Antwort, hier war gerade end-of-fiscal-year crunch time und jetzt sitze ich an einem Flughafen auf dem Weg Frankreich. Du kannst ja mal einen blick in die Pannellum Aneitung werfen (es gibt da bestimmt eine funktion um eine attribution einzublenden). Dann muessen wir ueberlegen, wie wir einen vernuenftigen Attributions String bekommen. Ich glaube da gibt es mittlerweile eine API fuer. --Dschwen (talk) 17:53, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

@Dschwen: Danke für die Anwort, da muss ich bei Gelegenheit mal einlesen.

Könntest Du mir noch wegen der Cache-Sache eins oben drüber weiterhelfen? // Martin K. (talk) 12:38, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

VICbot bug?

Hi Dschwen. Is VICbot case-insensitive? It removed Commons:Valued_image_candidates/Screenshot_wikiwand.jpg from the candidate list and tagged the file as being promoted again, however AFAICT it has not (yet) been promoted. Commons:Valued_image_candidates/Screenshot_wikiwand.JPG was a different image (it contained an unfree screenshot of Google maps, so was deleted and then redirected to the new upload). @J. Lunau, Natuur12, JuTa, and Archaeodontosaurus: pinging possibly interested related parties. Storkk (talk) 13:06, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

It appears that indeed MySQL's LIKE is not case sensitive (unlike Postgres). Would changing this in the cursor.execute call to LIKE BINARY break anything? Storkk (talk) 13:17, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Ok @Martinvl: made a mistake in the syntax on its image. It is repaired. For the promotion of Commons:Valued_image_candidates/Screenshot_wikiwand.jpg : the image was already promoted, the Bot has done its job. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 14:34, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

@Archaeodontosaurus: I may be misunderstanding something (I have a head cold at the moment, and am kind of woolly), but I think the image that was promoted was different - it appears on Commons:Valued_image_candidates/Screenshot_wikiwand.JPG because the .JPG file was deleted and redirected to the new .jpg file. Commons:Valued_image_candidates/Screenshot_wikiwand.jpg still shows nominated and has no reviews. Storkk (talk) 14:45, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

As Bot, I do not make the difference: is the same image. I think I understand that initially there was a bug and that the label was not assigned. The restoration competition seems to have corrected this error. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:07, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion. The original "Screenshot wikiwand.JPG" showed a little map without any google company-logo. I always thought, this derivate work is public domain. But this map was reason for speedy deletion. As a workaround I uploaded "Screenshot wikiwand.jpg" without any map and the admin JuTa restored the old file description. Unfortunately I was not able to use same filename, because "jpg" always was changed to "JPG" by the commons server. Because Natuur12 wrote "You can't just "transfer" the VI-status to a new file." I nominated my new upload to VI again. --J. Lunau (talk) 11:44, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Whether or not it was correct in this case (and since Archaeodontosaurus is one of the main forces behind VI, I'll defer to him on that), it appears that (unless I am mistaken) because MySQL's LIKE statement is case insensitive, VICbot will promote any image for which there has been a previous promotion if the filenames differ only in capitalization. If that is accurate but not intended behavior, the fix should be to use LIKE BINARY. Storkk (talk) 12:09, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

An error repair another error: it is splendid. For technical and programing by cons I have no competence. Thank you for your lights. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 12:24, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the input! I'll change it to LIKE BINARY. We have to be a bit careful though since the first character capitalization is arbitrary. Maybe the answer is filename normalization in the script. I have to get back into the vicbot script as I haven't touched it in quite a while. --Dschwen (talk) 17:56, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

GeoDaten durch Bot: Möglicherweise sinnfrei

Der Bot hatte bei einem meiner Bilder Geodaten ergänzt. Nun stellt sich einerseits die Frage, ob man bei einem Objekt-Kamera-Abstand von 150 cm tatsächliche zwei Geodaten braucht. Mehr noch: Durch den - ebenfalls im EXIF - stehenden Hinweis "Measurement precision Poor (3.5)" sollte es sich eigentlich verbieten, diesen Schritt zu gehen. Dadurch wird ein extrem unrealistischer Abjekt-Kamera-Abstand vorgespiegelt und es stellt sich mithin die Frage, welche Angabe die richtige ist.

Meines Erachtens sollte der Bot nur dann Daten einfügen, wenn nicht bereits andere Daten vorhanden sind. Gruss --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 06:04, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

QICbot hat am 7. Oktober nicht funktioniert

Images were removed from QIC-LIste and were archived, but, at least, at many QI-Template wasn't brought, and also there was no notification. Whether it is possible to start it once again, or I shall bring templates manually? Thank you for what you can do. --KSK (talk) 08:12, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

GPS EXIF bot ignores images

Bot

Hi, I see your DschwenBot has taken over many of the functions here, that BotMultichillT used to do. I don't suppose there is any chance of fixing en:User:Multichill/Free uploads which used BotMultichillT to separate the free uploads out from the non-free ones. The lists were was very useful is allowing users to examine the free images, check for copyvios, and then add the "move to commons" templates where relevant. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 22:49, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Did it make a list of new uploads with specific license tags? --Dschwen (talk) 21:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Just a page for each day of the free images (i.e. CC and PD) as a gallery - last page was en:User:Multichill/Free uploads/2014-01-03, that gallery was added to en:User:Multichill/Free uploads - only last 7 days as included templates, then older ones as plain links to the day's page - too many images used to cause issues with the page expand (occasionally even with just 7 days). Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 17:20, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

QICbot hat in den letzten Tagen wenigstens einmal nicht richtig funktioniert

Die Bilder wurden zwar aus der QIC-LIste entfernt und unter dem 19. November archiviert, aber zumindest bei vielen wurde das QI-Template nicht eingetragen, und Nachricht gab es auch nicht. Kann man das nochmal laufen? Gruß --Dirtsc (talk) 13:28, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign for User:The Photographer

Please excuse me spamming you, which concerns Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign. My contributions cover the architecture and culture of Brazil and Venezuela. I has basic photographic equipment: an old D300 camera and 35mm lens, and it is very expensive for me to acquire this equipment. I has recently taken several images using the technique where multiple frames are stitched together to create a high-resolution panorama. However, many times frustrated with the stitching errors that result from trying to take such photos without a proper panoramic head for his tripod. This special equipment permits the camera to be rotated around the entrance pupil of the lens, and eliminates such errors. Having a panoramic head would greatly increase the potential for The Photographer to create sharp high-resolution images for Commons. In addition, the purchase of a camera with a fisheye lens would enable 180 × 360° panoramas to be taken, which are a great way to explore a scene as though one is really there.

Please see the discussion about the Crowd-funding campaign on User talk:The Photographer#Generosity Crowdfunding Campaign and visit the Generosity Crowd-funding Campaign page to consider donating. Even a modest donation will make a difference if many people contribute. Thanks. --The Photographer 13:52, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Images from Brück & Sohn

Hallo Dschwen, User:Derbrauni und ich haben gemeinsam das Projekt Commons:Brück & Sohn gestemmt. Beim Upload wollte ich das jedes der 30.000 Ansichtskarten eine Geokoordinate mitbekommt. Das sind jeweils die entsprechenden Ortskoordinaten (besser als nix). Da das mit dem XML-Import in den VicuñaUploader leider nicht mit den Geokoordinaten direkt funktionierte, hab ich mit dem Exiftool vor dem Upload aller Bilder die Metadaten mit den Koordinaten angereichert. User:Kolossos hatte mir erzählt das es da einen Bot gibt, der da dann später in Commons die Geokoordinaten-Vorlage daraus erstellt und einfügt. Nun hab ich mir heute das mal genauer angeschaut, warum das nocht nicht passiert ist. Scheinbar fehlt die Vorlage {{GPS EXIF}} damit die Bilder georeferenziert werden. Kannst du deinen Bot außer der Reihe mal die Bilder der Category:Images from Brück & Sohn durcharbeiten lassen, ohne das ich jetzt dort überall diese Vorlage händisch einbauen muss? Das wäre Klasse. Beste Grüße -- sk (talk) 16:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Hm, ja, koennte ich. Allerdings ist das nicht so ganz im sinne der Commons Verortung. Man koennte evtl. das {{Object location}} template benutzen. Der bot haette allerdings automatisch kurz nach dem upload die Bilder verarbeiten sollen. Ich schaetze mal, dass das EXIF daten format nicht ganz den Erwartungen des Bots entsprochen hat. --Dschwen (talk) 19:32, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that a faulty image has been causing the bot to fail hard while parsing the EXIF data (unrelated to your uploads), so that effectively the bot has not been geocoding for a while now :-(. I hope I just fixed it. Running now. --Dschwen (talk) 19:45, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Hmm. Der Bot arbeitet leider schon seit Monaten nicht korrekt. Es wurde bereits mehrfach angemerkt. (Siehe oben.) Es wäre toll, wenn du dir das mal anschauen könntest. Danke. --XRay ^talk 19:46, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Ok, danke fuer den Hinweis. Ich untersuche das. --Dschwen (talk) 19:01, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Hmm, scheint als ob der bot die existierenden lat/lon in dezimal templates nicht richtig interpretiert. Der Kommentar sollte nur hinzugefuegt werden, wenn die manuellen Koordinaten nicht mit den EXIF Koordinaten uebereinstimmen. --Dschwen (talk) 19:05, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

@Srittau and Philafrenzy: , for File:California_House.jpg I have verified that the bot correctly extracted the GPS data that is in the uploaded file. If I skip your uploads that won't change the fact that the data in your images is apparently wrong. --Dschwen (talk) 20:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Bot

Your bot has tagged a few of my pictures for location but incorrectly located them as in east London, not even close to the correct sites. eg:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:California_House.jpg Actually in central London
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St_Peter%27s_Church,_Vere_Street_Dec_2016.jpg Actually near Oxford Street in the west end of London
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ladybird_adult_books.jpg Actually taken in Enfield Town.

What is going on? Philafrenzy (talk) 17:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@Philafrenzy: it could be that your GPS reading was not up to date. --Dschwen (talk) 18:58, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

It's the data drawn automatically from my cameraphone which is almost new and as far as I know is up to date. Is it possible to exclude my uploads from the Bot? Philafrenzy (talk) 18:20, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Kategorie „Media with GPS EXIF“

Das dein Bot beim Suchen von (aktuellen) Bildern die GPS Daten im EXIF enthalten hier und da Schwierigkeiten hat, ist leicht nachvollziehbar. Letztendlich ist das auch kein Problem, weil man kann ja die Bilder via Vorlage in die Category:Media with GPS EXIF einstellen. Mir persönlich ist es sogar Wurst ob der Bot neue Bilder nach GPS-Daten durchforstet ... die Kategorie reicht mir vollkommen aus.

Seit Monaten beobachte ich die Kategorie. Sie wird nie vollständig abgearbeitet. Als Minimum habe ich so etwa 180 Bilder gesehen. Als Maximum so etwa 350. Häufig sind auch meine Bilder dabei, die sehr lange auf eine Abarbeitung warten. Z.B. steht File:Treis an der Lumda - Hohlstraße - Spielplatz (0001).JPG seit 12. Feb in der Schlange. [10]. Ich habe hier als Beispiel einen Grenzstein genommen, da hier die Verortung besonders Sinn macht.

In der Kategorie sind viele Bilder von mir ... aber natürlich auch von anderen. Ich erwähne hier kurz eine techn. Besonderheit meiner Bilder - vielleicht bricht der Bot ja ab wenn er auf die Besonderheit trifft. Die meisten meiner Bilder sind mit einem GPS-Maschinchen verortet. Damit gebe ich dem Leser/Betrachter metergenau preis, wo ich war. Das GPS-Maschinchen logt daneben noch die Zeit mit. Und ich möchte dem Leser/Betrachter neben der exakten Ortsangabe keine exakte Zeit nennen, an der ich das Foto gemacht habe. Deshalb lasse ich vor dem Hochladen meist zwei exiftool-Befehle über das Bild laufen:

exiftool -'gps:gpsdatestamp=' -'gps:gpstimestamp=' "${Bild}"
und
exiftool -alldates= "${Bild}"

Vielleicht stört sich ja dein Bot daran, wenn er keine Zeitstempel findet. -- Gerold Rosenberg (talk) 10:05, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Hmm, eigentlich schaue ich nicht nach dem Zeitstempel. Aber danke fuer den Hinweis, dass da anscheinend etwas noch immer nicht rund laeuft! --Dschwen (talk) 00:34, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Ich bin auch davon ausgegangen, das das Löschen der Zeitstempel für deinen Bot kein Problem ist. Aber manchmal sind Ursachen für Fehler halt ungewöhnlich.

Mir persönlich würde es völlig ausreichen, wenn der Bot (fürs Verorten) nur noch Bilder der Kategorie Category:Media with GPS EXIF abarbeiten würde. Sollte das Deguggen und die Kommunikation über das Verhalten des Bots wesentlich vereinfachen (wenn jamand sagt „in der Kategorie sind 200 Bilder unbearbeitet“ läßt sich das binnen Sekunden überprüfen).

Aber da will ich dir nicht reinreden ... halt nur den Hinweis, das ich sehr gut mit einem abgespeckten Bot leben könnte. Schöne Grüße (auch an den Bot falls er es versteht), Gerold Rosenberg (talk) 09:45, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Ach, super, mein bot wurde geblockt. --Dschwen (talk) 20:05, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Sehr gut! die Category:Media with GPS EXIF ist nun abgearbeitet. Hilft mir sehr. Z.B. sind in Category:Allerburg (Dautphetal) (mögi. Reste einer alten Burg) nun alle verortet ... dadurch kann die Ruinen mit Berggipeln, alten Wällen, Türmen die ebenfalls verortet sind in Realtion setzen. Danke! --Gerold Rosenberg (talk) 23:05, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Location template added when already in place via transclusion

Hi, ich habe eben festgestellt, dass User:DschwenBot das Location-Template aus EXIF-Daten hinzufügt, auch wenn genau das Template bereits über ein anderes Template eingebunden ist. Beispiel hier. Kann entweder ich (in meinem Template) oder der Bot etwas ändern, damit das nicht passiert? Grüße, --— Julian H.^✈ 06:51, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Hm, warum hast Du denn das Location template in Deinem UserInfoTemplate ueberhaupt drin? Du solltest Dich eigentlich nicht um Location kuemmern muessen, dafuer gibt es ja den Bot. Wenn Du den nicht willst, kannst Du ja mal versuchen in dein combo template ein botblock template einzufuegen. --Dschwen (talk) 14:53, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Ehrlich gesagt kannte ich die Automatisierung nicht — das ist mir jetzt das erste Mal aufgefallen. Ich hätte auch erwartet, dass das bei mehr als nur einem der Bilder auftritt. Der Hinweis mit dem Bot Template ist auf jeden Fall gut, danke, das sollte vorerst das Problem beheben. — Julian H.^✈ 10:35, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Daniel, irgendwie scheint bei Panellum ein Problem darin zu liegen, dass auch nach dem Upload einer neuen Version einer Datei im 360°-Viewer immer nur die alte angezeigt wird.

Hi Dschwen, DschwenBot has added location data to a file despite the {{Bots|deny=DschwenBot}} template there. Could you please revert it and make sure this does not repeat? — Kpalion^(talk) 20:24, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

@Kpalion: , I cannot really influence that. This is a built in functionality of the pywikibot framework. I'm a bit puzzled why this wouldn't work :-/ --Dschwen (talk) 19:34, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Well, if it's clearly malfunctioning, did you consider switching it off until a solution is found? — Kpalion^(talk) 21:00, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi Dschwen, i would like to see your bot unblocked again. Did you asked on pywikibot page how this could happen? --Arnd (talk) 07:43, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

@Kpalion: I'm puzzled as why you insist on uploading images with broken metadata. Or do you want to keep the location secret? If so why don;t you scrub the location from the images. Blocking the bot is fixing a symptom, not a cause. People who download your images still see the broken/secret location in their image viewers. Future versions of the software might display the location directly from the metadata. Some other user might work on a bot to extract the geodata, and his/her bot won't be on your block list. Will you just block ``all`` bots from editing ``your`` files? That would throw quite a wrench in our maintenance processes. --Dschwen (talk) 14:35, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

@Dschwen: , I must admit I don't know how to scrub the location from my images. I only know the metadata is wrong; for some reason my camera doesn't always update the location correctly. I will be grateful, if you can tell me how to remove the location from image files, so that they don't confuse anybody and doesn't throw bots off. — Kpalion^(talk) 14:45, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Pterostylis ventricosa

Hello Dschwen,

I appreciate your work adding GPS coordinates to pages. In the case of Pterostylis ventricosa (and possibly some others) it would be better if coords were not included as this species is critically endangered, partly because of illegal collecting. Certainly, determined collectors can find GPS coordinates in other ways, but to have them advertised in Wikipedia may not be such a great idea. Your decision. All the best to you.

Adding feature to QICbot to add promoted image to user's QI category

Many users, particularly ones with many QIs, have their own categories containing their promoted images, though to my knowledge QICbot does not currently add promoted images to these categories automatically. This seems like this would be a beneficial feature to add to the bot, though from your knowledge would this have any adverse effects? It seemed like a good idea to me, so I wrote a function in python to automate this task. The code is rough, and would obviously need to have parts of it rewritten and integrated with the source code before being added to bot if it is a good idea, but it shows the general concept:

def addUserQiCat(image, user) {
	global site

	# potentially need code here if user namespace prefix is attached to var ''user'',
	# e.g. "User:WClarke" vs. "WClarke", as most of these categories don't have prefix;
	# also, some QI categories for users use irregular naming, so this wouldn't work for them
	userQiCat = "Category:Quality Images by " + user
	imgPage = wikipedia.Page(site, image)

	if imgPage.exists() :
		
		cat = wikipedia.Page(site, userQiCat)
		if cat.exists() :
			text = imgPage.get()
			catText = "[[" + userQiCat + "]]"
			# if image isn't already in category
			if string.find(text, catText) < 0 :
				text += "\n" + catText + "\n"
				imgPage.put(text)

		else :
			# Could also add code here to create a QI category
			# for the user if they do not already have one
			print "Image exists, but user doesn't have their own QI category"

	else :
		print "Image does not exists"
}

Anyway, just wanted to share this if it is of any benefit, whether it is doable or not. Thanks. WClarke 04:49, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Problem in VI

Hi, It seems that the Bot of VI no longer works. Thank you for what you can do. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:09, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

@Archaeodontosaurus: it seems to be running now, but I see a few page parse errors in the logs. I'll try to investigate the cause. --Dschwen (talk) 13:21, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Some QI nomination missed

Hi!

It seems that QICbot missed yesterday some nominations. Two of my pictures have been moved into the archive page two days after they were promoted, but he forget to put the {{QualityImage}} template on both of them (the first and the second). Could you look at that?

And just by the way, it's never said enough, thanks for the work your bot do every day .

Thanks! — 0x010C ^~talk~ 17:03, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

{{UnknownHeader}}

Hi Dschwen. Unfortunately, not many replies were received to my question regarding Magnus Manske's Usual Suspects/Bad Old Ones. Your bot creates a few daily categories such as Category:Media_missing_permission_as_of_21_June_2017 which include {{UnknownHeader}}'s exhortation to use "Bad Old Ones", but it appears the tool is broken or its correct usage is so obscure that the currently active administrators here don't know how to use it. If it is just my understanding that is faulty, I'd love to know how this tool works, but if as I suspect it has been broken for a long time, could you please create the daily categories without {{UnknownHeader}}? Cheers, Storkk (talk) 11:02, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

I can make that change, but I think we should rather just fix the template. --Dschwen (talk) 17:27, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

I was under the impression that the only purpose of the template was to point to Bad Old Ones. But if it has another purpose and is still useful, then sure. Cheers, Storkk (talk) 17:44, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

@Storkk: hello! I just discover how work the tool Bad Old Ones, it seems that still works, I will explain it to you. I'm a bit busy right now, but I will. See you soon. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:32, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Alrighty then, off to revert my changes to the template and the bot... :-) --Dschwen (talk) 20:04, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

• @Storkk: The tool is working now, the bug came from a bad conversion of the spaces of the name pages when converted in URL, I replaced PAGENAMEE by BASEPAGENAMEE in {{Delete assist}}, the result is the link of {{UnknownHeader}} is now working well. Example in Category:Media_missing_permission_as_of_21_June_2017 click on the tool and then click on Bad Boys on or Bad Old Ones, you will have the results expected by the builder, I think. With the Bad Old Ones link don't be afraid by the first lines and go at the bottom of the page. When in the tool you can change the name of the category and then you can click on one of the both link Bad Boys on or Bad Old Ones. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 21:38, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Probleme mit DschwenBot

Hallo Dschwen,

schau doch bitte mal in Category:Media with GPS EXIF. Nach meinem Verständnis sollte die Kategorie allenfalls Dateien beinhalten, die erst kürzlich mit {{GPS EXIF}} versehen wurden. Z. B. das erste Bild wurde am 17. März 2017 mit dieser Vorlage versehen. --Hasenläufer 18:39, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Der Bot hat am 23. Juni das letzte mal den Editkommentar „(creating {{Location}} from EXIF data, please visit Commons:Geocoding for further information)“ gesetzt. Ich halte es übrigens für völlig ausreichend, wenn der Bot nicht alle Neueingänge nach Geodaten im EXIF durchsucht sonderen nur Category:Media with GPS EXIF abarbeitet. Dann wären Fehleranalysen sicher einfacher. --Gerold Rosenberg (talk) 21:40, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Please make the bot run agains, I miss it. Vera ^(talk) 09:01, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

Koordinaten fehlerhaft?

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

Bei zumindest diesen Fotos hat der Bot falsche Koordinaten eingetragen. Die Exifs sehen anders aus. Gruss --Nightflyer (talk) 12:02, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Ich hätte zu der Thematik auch noch was beizutragen: Wenn die Canon Mark IV kein Signal oder nur sporadische Signal für das GPS hatte, werden ggf. falsche Koordinaten produziert. Die von mir händisch eingetragenen Koordinaten des Objekts sind deshalb in der Regel die besseren. Es wäre sinnvoll, wenn der Bot - sofern bereits Koordinaten vorhanden sind - keine weiteren Daten automatisiert nachträgt. Man kann das zwar mit DenyBot verhindern, aber ich denke da auch nicht immer dran, dieses Template einzubauen. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 12:20, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Ja, und was ich noch sagen wollte: Es wäre ein Zeichen von Höflichkeit, auch mal zu antworten. --CEphoto, Uwe Aranas (talk) 20:39, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Jo, das stimmt. Es ist aber nicht unbedingt ein Zeichen von Unhoeflichkeit, wenn ich mal nicht antworte. Ich kann Dir gerne privat emailen was ich so IRL um die Ohren habe (Kostprobe: ein neues Baby im Haus). Ich bitte darum um etwas Nachsicht, wenn ich nicht alle Nachrichten auf meiner Talkpage in angemessener Zeit beantworte. Die Vorschlags-Kommentare sind nun abgeschaltet.

Nightflyer, dem ersten Bild hat der Bot Koordinaten im Flughafenterminal von Charlotte in den USA zugewiesen. Das sieht nicht wie ein zufaelliger Fehler aus. Meine Vermutung ist, dass der Download des Bildes fehlgeschlagen ist und die Koordinaten des letzten verarbeiteten Bildes verwendet wurden. Ich werde einen check in den Bot einbauen um solche Faelle zu vermeiden. Sorry, den Fall habe ich so noch nicht gesehen. --Dschwen (talk) 16:09, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Panoviewer tiles

Hi Dschwen, just wondering if there's a manual way to purge/refresh image tiles used on Panoviewer if a new version of the image has been uploaded.

Hi Dschwen,

I've listed your photo for FP delist at Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/File:Baker Beach 2.jpg.

VICbot notifications

Hey there,

This may well be known, but I've noticed that VICbot's usertalk messages do not seem to generate a notification (at least not for me). QICbot does. This makes me think it's because VICbot doesn't sign its messages? — Rhododendrites ^talk |  18:52, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Image promoted as a Quality image (see my Talk Page) but not categorized as a quality image, why ?

This file :

was promoted as a Quality image the 14th May 2018, see here, the last one and there.

The robot add it on my Talk page, nr 43 too.

But at the page of the file, nothing appears to notice that it is a Quality image ?

There is no Template Quality image.

Can someone resolve this problem ?

Maybe the problem comes from the robot ?

Expiry of GWToolset user group memberships

There is a proposal on the Bureaucrat's noticeboard to automatically expire GWT memberships after one year unless the user requests an extension. Please add your views and suggestions to the discussion. The reasonably informal process for getting access to GWT access will remain as is.

De-adminship warning

Dear Dschwen. I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section/Aug-Sep 2018 within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

PanoViewer und Umlaute?

Pano mit Umlaut im Namen

Hi! Kann es sein, dass der PanoViewer ein Problem mit Umlauten oder Sonderzeichen im Dateinamen hat? Jedenfalls weigert er sich beharrlich dieses Panorama hier anzuzeigen. Wäre toll, wenn Du Dir das kurzfristig mal ansehen könntest, weil wir kommendes Wochenende die WLM-Jury über diese Panoramen tagen lassen. // Martin K. (talk) 20:15, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Pano Viewer für zylindrische 360°-Panoramen

Hallo Dschwen, ich komme zurück auf eine alte Diskussion. Der jetzige 360°-Viewer leistete früher bei zylindrischen 360°-Panoramen wie diesem ausgezeichnete Dienste. Dann wurde umgestellt, sodass er nun nur noch bei 360*180°-Panoramen funktionierte. Die aktuelle {{Pano360}}- Vorlage sollte in {{Pano360*180}} umbenannt werden und unter dem Namen {{Pano360}} sollte die ursprüngliche Funktionsweise wiederhergestellt werden. Es ist missverständlich von 360°-Panoramen zu sprechen, wenn man nur 360*180°-Panoramen meint. Letzteres ist ein Spezialfall des anderen. Falls das zu umständlich ist, wäre ich auch schon froh, wenn die Funktion des alten Viewers unter anderem Namen wiederhergestellt würde. Lässt sich außerdem an den Beschriftungsmöglichkeiten bei Panoramen mit extremen Seitenverhältnissen etwas machen? Das Annotieren ist hier nicht praktikabel. Ich entschied mich bei dem eingangs erwähnten Bild für die Mühe einer permanenten Beschriftung. Besser wäre aber ein Layer, den man ein- und abschalten kann, ähnlich der Beschriftungsmöglichkeit auf dieser Website Nachteil dort: man kann nicht hineinzoomen. Für den enzyklopädischen Gedanken wäre das ein großer Vorteil. Soweit meine Anregungen. Danke und Gruß --Milseburg (talk) 15:35, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Revisit image viewing tool

In this archived section I was hoping for a JS tool that could help display other image resolutions based on MP, etc. Do you think that is still possible and could help write it? Or do you know someone who might be able to write it. I think it would be great for FP to see the MP of an image and also to easily open a smaller (e.g., 6MP) image to judge quality. -- Colin (talk) 15:42, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

Creating {{Location}} from EXIF data

How do I prevent ‎DschwenBot from adding {{Location}} to images based on the EXIF data? I commonly use my iPhone to photograph images from obscure books in libraries, and in those cases, the iPhone camera location is not the camera location for the original image, so it should not be put into the {{Location}} template. I always make a point to remove the location data from the form in UploadWizard, but then DschwenBot always adds it anyway. Kaldari (talk) 23:45, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Example: Current month category ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 12:42, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

Every month, your bot adds the correct header but to the wrong place. For instance, it added headers to Category:Categories for discussion/2019/04 instead of Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/04. It looks to me has if JuTa has been deleting the mistake every month since February 2018 (!!) but as far as I can tell, said nothing to fix the problem. It would actually be very useful to have the header added to the commons page every month so that I don't need to do it manually - I hope you can fix the bot. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:50, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

QICBot malfunction

Hi Dschwen/Archive15, one of my quality image cadidates, File:Parnassia palustris RF.jpg, should have been promoted last night. However, QICBot just shifted it to Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives March 13 2019 without doing anything else it is supposed to do, especially without tagging the file as QI and without adding a message to my user page. Even worse, I got the impression that all the other images to be promoted last night did not get handled properly either. There is no QI tag for the last image to be promoted and none for the first five images to be promoted. Of course, it would be possible to add the QI template to all the promoted images. But this would be some work and nobody would be notified, except on their watchlists, of course. The images archived yesterday in Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives March 12 2019 appear to be fine. So the problem appears to be new. Anyway, can you please fix the problem before the bot becomes active again tonight? Thank you very much --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 20:17, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Update:The images were tagged manually and the bot is working again. At least I hope so. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 16:37, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

Nsfw not working

The {{Nsfw}} template isn't working. See Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Jamides bochus 2 by kadavoor.jpg. On Firefox and Chrome, the image appears briefly and covered by a blank. I'm sure there used to be text saying the image is NSFW and to click. On Edge, it has no effect at all. There are two images at FPC that could do with it and I suspect this nominator will continue to nominate such images. Could you have a look. Thanks. -- Colin (talk) 10:29, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Ah, I had forgotten to login to Edge. However, in all three we just get a grey blank, which doesn't help anyone know what it is covering or any danger of clicking on it. I am sure that it used to show a yellow warning triangle and NSFW text. There is also quite a delay before it blanks the image, but don't know if that can be fixed. -- Colin (talk) 14:08, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

GlokkNine image unfairly deleted by Jcb

Hello Dschwen, a wikimedia admin named Jcb had been very unspecific and vague with deleting my image File:GlokkNine.jpg, he claims it is a violation of copyright and wikimedia, and told me here to read the rules COM:L. I read the rules of COM:L and it states wikimedia allows Wikimedia Commons only accepts media that are explicitly freely licensed, or that are in the public domain in at least the United States and in the source country of the work The bolded section is my argument, here is the source of my image of GlokkNine, the images source is a United States governmental mugshot, and is publicly available. The mugshot is avalaible on Orange County Police records and the official website states, " All of the photographs and records on this website are parts of public records. We are under no legal obligation to remove anything on this website. Publishers are NOT REQUIRED to obtain permission from anyone to post public records emanating from law enforcement agencies anywhere in the United States," So my image is basically not in violation at all, Jcb claims I am uploading copyrighted files when clearly it is a governmental image and I licensed it in the source. There are other rappers like the mugshots for Lil Pump, YNW Melly, and Wideneck. These aren't deleting yet my image is. With your permission, can I reupload the file GlokkNine.jpg image?

Leaving this message here, but I guess just as much for anyone else as Dschwen, who doesn't look to have replied to anything here since March.

Two ongoing issues with VICbot:

1) Please just have it sign the usertalk posts like the other bots.

2) The "review" link doesn't work on the usertalk message, but the review is copied nonetheless. I'm not sure if I remember ever seeing a working "review" link -- if not, it would probably be better to just omit that parameter, since it significantly increases the amount of text in the message?

Hello Dschwen, the GPS data of my photo's are unreliable.

Would you like for me to add a Havang-exception to the bot code? Is there any indication in the GPS data that the location is not exact? (I'll investigate the file in . abit, I'm still sitting at the breakfast table).

Hello,Dschwen, see Commons:Village pump/Archive/2019/08#GPS-data unreliable.. The location template comes at uploading, so there is no need for an a priori <nowoki></nowiki> template. I now add manually {{Location estimated}} at uploading new files. AntiCompositeBot 2 has run once over all old files to add {{Location estimated}} and doesn't run any more. But as other users interfer and give the object location, removing {{Location estimated}}, your bot pops up unappropriately.

The recent File:Zevenaar, TURMAC (03) kantoorgebouw, nu gemeentehuis, achterkant.jpg is now at risk to see you bot acting. --Havang(nl) (talk) 21:39, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Hm, I have to say, I don;t understand why you are directing your anger at me here. You are uploading photos with embedded incorrect GPS data. That data is in commons. My bot just makes it visible. I have added an exception to the bot to skip touching files with Category:Photographs by Henk van Gaal, but only because I do not have teh energy to discuss this further. My suggestion would be for you to fix your GPS data instead. --Dschwen (talk) 22:03, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks.I have too many files to fix the GPS data manually. Your bot does fabulously much work. My anger is not against you, but against automatisation from multiple sides, overruling my will and wishes, a general problem in automatisation. --Havang(nl) (talk) 08:34, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Alrighty then. Let me know if for some reason this does not fix your issue. And happy contributuing! --Dschwen (talk) 13:27, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Buchholz (Beelitz), Preußischer Ganzmeilenobelisk als Kriegerdenkmal (1).jpg und andere

Hallo Dschwen, leider läuft irgendwas mit der GPS-Extraktion Deines Bots schief. Zuerst ging noch alles automatisch auch ohne {{GPS EXIF}}. Dann tat sich nichts mehr, na gut eben einfach {{GPS EXIF}} eingefügt. Aber das einzige was der Bot nun macht, ist das Template zu entfernen, von GPS-Daten keine Spur. Könntest Du bitte mal gucken, was da schief läuft? Danke --Manfred Schröter, Berga (talk) 12:13, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

GPS EXIF extraction failed

Your bot failed to extract the GPS information form the EXIF data of my marked images and adding them to the page. I do not know if there is a problem with the EXIF. Locally I can view the location very well and it has the same structure as on other images where your bot worked well in the past. I do not link all the 2000 images it where all images uploaded in the last two days, here are some: File:Rurtalsperre from trail along Rurtalsperre in Simmerath 06.jpg File:Trail in Erkensruhr valley near Leykaul 01.jpg File:Kermeter in September 2019 28.jpg. And here is one where it worked in the past: File:Eckerlochstieg 19.jpg --GPSLeo (talk) 10:03, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Maybe the bot has become a bit shy after some intimidating messages on this talk page :-D. I'll check what I can find. --Dschwen (talk) 21:19, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Argh, crap, that's exactly what happened. I added an exception for a fellow commonist, who threatened to block the bot if it doesn't stop tagging his pictures and promptly added a bug that simply skipped tagging ALL photos. I have restarted the bot and instructed it to go over the last 32 days of uploads. That'll take a while... --Dschwen (talk) 21:24, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

QICbot has a trouble?

QICbot Last run at November 22, 2019 -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 10:53, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

I am not sure if QICbot has tried to run again yesterday/today (at least one image was moved to the “Consensual review” section), but most images which should have been promoted/declined are still in the previous state, so it seems that QICbot still does not operate normally. Could you please look into that? Thank you very very much! :-) Best regards, --Aristeas (talk) 08:22, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

Your best shot 2019

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

It's early 2020, which means it's time again to look back at photographs taken over the course of the past 12 months. As always, I'm curious – what would you consider your best shot of 2019 and why? I invite you to share your image and your thoughts in order to provide others with the opportunity to celebrate, learn, and enjoy:

Your best shot 2019

Thanks for all your effort in sharing your vision of the world with others under a free license!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 20:01, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

GPS EXIF (Feb 2020)

It's not tagging files for more than a month, what's going on? — regards, Revi 14:29, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I am thinking about asking someone (maybe running it myself?) to run this task, but User:DschwenBot/source doesn't look like the up to date version (it has references to Toolserver, which was shut down in 2014). Can you update it, if I am correct that it is not up to date?

I will invoke the ToolForge's Right to fork policy if you do not either 1. restart the bot or 2. provide the source code within next 14 days. — regards, Revi 16:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Problem with VICbot

Hello, There appears to be a problem with the VICbot where it does not remove any nominations for several days, or removing a nomination without promoting the image, or promoting the image but not notifying the nominator.

Unwanted Location coordinates

Hi, Dschwen. Concerning File:Petrus Christianus Bauduin (cropped).jpg I'd like to know how to stop Dschwenbot from adding coordinates. The coordinates do not represent the person depicted, but only the location of the camera who took a photograph of that much older photograph, which is information of no value to Commons. I reverted your bot's edit before, but it keeps coming back. What to do? Greetings, Eissink (talk) 20:53, 14 May 2020 (UTC).

@Dschwen, Eissink, and Jakub Nekvasil: I I agree with the above comlaint. File:Ucastnici-kurzu.jpg was tagged with coordinates of any family house where the photo probably became reproduced. I understand that the bot cannot recognize such a case. However, it would be useful to create and promote a template that indicates that the coordinates in the EXIF data are irrelevant (or private) and should not be extracted by the bot. Something similar as {{Invalid Exif date}}. Maybe, {{Irrelevant Exif coordinates}} can be its name? --ŠJů (talk) 00:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, ŠJů, I had forgotten about this. I just learned from this edit that there is a possibility to stop the bot, namely by adding {{Bots|deny=DschwenBot}} (at least it seems to be working). Thanks, greeting, Eissink (talk) 00:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC).

Thanks Eissink, but this solution is not systematical, because there can exist another bots which will do this work in the future, and this one bot can do also another work than coordinates extracting. I hope, Dschwen will find some better solution for this. --ŠJů (talk) 00:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Koordinaten der Fotos zwischen 3.1 und 11.4

Hallo Dschwen. Nach meinen Untersuchungen wurden von dem BOT die Exif-Koordinaten der Fotos, die in dem Zeitraum 4. Januar 2020 und 11. April 2020 hochgeladen wurden, nicht ausgelesen. Könntest du bitte den Bot noch über den Zeitraum laufen lassen. Vielen Dank. --störfix (talk) 03:44, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I’d like to invite you to our group’s first Virtual Meeting on Saturday, May 30, 2020. The meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Please take a look at the meeting page and add your name to the list of participants if you’re planning to attend.

Wrong EXIF

Hi Dschwen, I have been testing last year on my own relatively new phone how well the coordinates tagging went, and it went terrible. It went so terrible that I decided to switch of the coordinates tagging in my own phone as it was more often wrong than right. Instead I manually tagged my photos with or the location of the object or where I took the photo. In the history of some files I noticed your bot added based on the wrong EXIF data coordinates that not even close match to the location of where it was. I understand you try to add information to files to make Commons better, but doing this is doing exactly the opposite. Please do not add any coordinates based on EXIF data. Romaine (talk) 04:05, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Commons Photographers User Group: Meeting on September 26 and other stuff

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I've got a quick update for you, containing three items:

• I’d like to invite you to our group’s second Virtual Meeting on Saturday, September 26, 2020. As last time, this meeting will serve as an opportunity to get to know each other better, share learnings, and connect in times of the global COVID-19 pandemic. If you'd like to present, please add your name and the proposed topic to the list on the talk page.
• Also, I'd like to start a conversation about how we should be sharing responsibility for the user group going forward. I'd love to get some help when it comes to organizing things and I'm convinced that we can achieve more if a couple of people helped with coordinating stuff.
• Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has asked me to spread the word about their latest survey: Universal Code of Conduct Survey. The goal is to create a safer environment on Wikimedia projects and the Foundation gathers feedback prior to coming up with a first draft.

Hope to see you at the Zoom meeting in September!

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 18:43, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Problem in VI

Hi Daniel,

the BOT has not been in VI for two days. Thank you for what you can do for us, have a nice day --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:13, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Inappropriate geocoding

File:Sigurd the Volsung p389 detail.jpg‎ has now twice been geocoded. I fully understand this is often helpful: but it isn't in this case. I'd be really grateful if this unfortunately personal information could be removed: it has no relevance to the book and image, which could be in any library anywhere, or in one of the William Morris museums. If you know how to delete exif data from a Commons image I'd be glad to do that too. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:59, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

User:Chiswick Chap if you are concerned about disclosing private info in the exif you should remove the exif data before uploading it. Once it is on Commons it is really difficult to get rid of it without a trace. Cheers --Dschwen (talk) 14:53, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Reminder: User Group Meeting this Saturday

Dear Commons Photographers User Group member,

This is a quick reminder that our second virtual meeting will take place this Saturday, September 26. The agenda entails presentations about drone photography, about the story behind a featured picture, and about the future of LRMediaWiki. We'll also discuss photographers’ contacts with the Wikimedia Foundation and the election of representatives for our user group. You'll find information about all of this on the event page:

• Virtual Meeting on September 26, 2020

I'm also inviting you to share some information about yourself and your photography work with other members of the user group on our new membership list:

• Comprehensive membership list

I hope you're well during these difficult times. All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:44, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Approved image discarded

This has been a frustrating experience. On Sept 30 I posted this question [19] on the Village Pump. Following the advice given there I posted the question Why is this image not approved? [20] on the page suggested. (last topic)

Now my submission has been completely removed from the nominations page and today I received the message "QICbot (talk | contribs) (Bot: Tag as unassessed Quality Image Candidate) ". But it was assessed!

Below I'm repeating the question I posted to the the Quality Images discussion page on Sept 30:

=======================

Could someone help me understand what's happened here? This image [21]was up-voted several days ago. At that time it had a green box around it. Since I hadn't been notified it was approved I went yesterday to see what happened. I see the green box has been changed back to blue but no down votes have been made. Someone has made a comment without calling it a comment but does an unmarked comment remove/override an up-vote? If not, why is the image not approved? Jim Evans (talk) 12:11, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
