Images with watermarks
[edit]Hi, Geo. When you upload a group of images with watermarks like you did recently (e.g. File:51 Division - Toronto Police Building NE corner of Front and Parliament.jpg), please crop the images before or immediately after the upload. As a project, Commons is drowning in images that need watermarks removed (the backlog is current more than 50,000+ files, and it keeps growing). In the case of these images, it is inappropriate for Wikimedia Commons to be hosting spam watermarks promoting a fitness website. Having said that, they are good images to have on the project if they could be cropped. At a minimum, please tag them with {{Crop}} (technically, we should be using {{Watermark}}, but given the backlog they'd just end up in watermark hell - since most of these images would logically have the watermarks removed by cropping a slice off the bottom, the crop tag works in these limited circumstances). Thanks for your understanding. Cheers. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 20:02, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- Same goes with City of Toronto Archives markings - 90% were added decades later by COTA are not part of the historic photo. We wouldn't want to keep them here, making the image less usable, except to make a note of the information the notations contain. In this image, the notation wasn't even legible, and made the image a lot less useful - it needed to be cropped. Ideally the uploader does it, but at a minimum it should be tagged at the time of the upload. By the way, and I'm sorry to be pestering you today, why didn't you upload these COTA images (like File:Traffic on Yonge St. looking north....jpg) directly from the COTA website. For most photos, you get a better resolution version and likely more information - for this particular photo, the COTA website had the precise date, the photographer, and a slightly higher resolution version. Uploading off a source like an internet forum just creates a lot of work here at the Commons. Again, sorry to such a whiner, but there are so many backlogs here at the Commons, and sometimes it is easy to avoid adding to the work pile. :) Cheers, --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:22, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Bron766 (talk) 07:44, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello. I am sorry to be a pest, but please be careful in uploading images. This image had no description (!), the categories you used violated COM:OVERCAT, there were conflicting licenses, the source template was in the wrong field, there were unnecessary/repetitive external links in the image description, the Toroto Archives was identified as an author (!), there were some wikitext problems ("[[creator:Arthur Goss]]" - I suppose you were trying to use a creator template, but there isn't one for Goss), and the image needs to be cropped (!!). You are a very experienced contributor, so I am just puzzled why so many of your uploads need such extensive clean-up after the fact (I totally appreciate that some of it is a factor of Upload Wizard, which was not designed with historic images on Flickr in mind, but one still needs to go back and fix the issues caused by Upload Wizard). I am by no means perfect (and routinely have others correcting errors or omissions of mine), so I am definitely not accusing you of anything that I myself could also not stand to improve (in particular, I am not always as careful as I need to be with image descriptions). I encourage you to keep uploading more historic images, esp. of Toronto, but there are so few of us, and so much work to do, and we should all be striving not to be adding so much to our massive backlogs. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:06, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- As an aside, please consider identifying all of the images you upload with City/Town, Province/State/Region and Country in the image description. Commons is a multilingual, global project, and we should not take for granted that users know where Hanlan's Point, Toronto, Manitoba, Saskatoon, etc. are. I learned this the hard way, working on categorizing monument and memorial images across many countries. Even though I consider myself fairly well versed in geography and history, it was exhausting trying to figure out where to categorize images that were only identfied with the name of the town or city in (for example) Germany or Russia. I can only image how annoying it can sometimes be for users who come across images on the project, identified only with the name of some town in Canada with whch they are unfamiliar, and they need to work up the category chain (assuming it has been properly categorized - a big if) just to find out where the photo was taken. Clear and complete image descriptions are really important. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:06, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, one more aside, and then I will shut the f*** up and leave you alone. The "original caption" template is great when there is a historic notation on an image that we want to incorporate into the image description, or there is some sort of other information that needs to be repeated verbatim (e.g. wording that is intrinsically part of the image). It is not really appropriate or needed for cutting and pasting information off of contemporary websites - we should be focusing instead on having clear, well-written descriptions. Cheers. Sorry for the rants, and I apologize for coming across as holier-than-thou. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:06, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Copyright of City installed photographs

You also cannot claim copyright on your copy of these. I don't want to tag them and will leave it for you to deal with. Have you searched the City Archives to see if you can find the old ones? There is no point in having your copies if the originals are available. Secondarywaltz (talk) 02:22, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Good catch. I assumed they were city of toronto archive photographers. Thanks for leaving it up to me to tag them. That is always simpler.

Your recent uploads :)
[edit]![]() | Hi. I noticed that you have uploaded a number of photographs today around an event that could possibly be considered newsworthy. It would be fantastic to see these pictures used on a WMF project. I would like to extend an invitation to you to visit English Wikinews and include these articles in a photo essay. Examples of published photo essays you can use as a model can be found in the photo essays category. English Wikinews allows original reporting, which means you can write about the event you attended where you took the photographs. This would allow you to get 5 to 20 of your newly uploaded photographs used in one place right away. You can also submit photo essays on Spanish Wikinews (writing guide, example), Polish Wikinews and Russian Wikinews. You may also be able to submit photo essays to German Wikinews, Hebrew Wikinews, Norwegian Wikinews, Farsi Wikinews, Portuguese Wikinews and Japanese Wikinews. Feel free to contact me on my Commons or my English Wikinews talk page if you have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance. | ![]() |

Comment placement
[edit]Hey Geo Swan, I noticed you moved my comments at AN to make it clearer who's responding to whom in the discussion. The reason I posted in the middle was because I was responding to specific points in your comment, and responding to a wall of text with a wall of text kind of makes the discussion tedious to follow... I added a few signatures inbetween to make it clear who is commenting – is it better like that? Feel free to revert if you feel the previous format was clearer. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 13:56, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Okay. I accept you did not place your comments in the middle of mine with any bad intent. But interspersing new comments in the middle of someone else's comment is problematic in several ways. That is why wikidocuments recommend it be avoided.
- Interspersing new comments in the middle of an earlier respondent's comments is confusing to later readers, as it leaves the first fragment of the earlier respondent's comment unsigned. Later readers are entitled to know who wrote it.
- Interspersing new comments in the middle of an earlier respondent's comments is likely to make that earlier respondent look like they can't write a whole, coherent comment. The first fragment looks unfinished. The second fragment looks like it needs an introduction.
- This is not so bad if no one follows up on your interspersed comments. But you can't predict how many followups your comment may get.
- There have been a number of times I have come across a long discussion, that has had multiple contributors, and dozens of separate comments, where the discussion was hard to follow, as it looked like there was someone incoherent, who sprinkled a bunch of unsigned paragraphs throughout the discussion, where each of those fragmentary paragraphs had only a fragment of a coherent argument. I have tried to step back through some of those discussion, one revision at a time, so I could figure out who left those fragmentary paragraphs, and I could populate an {{Unsigned}} template identifying the author. When I used to do that I would almost always find that those fragmentary paragraphs were once a properly signed sequence of paragraphs -- paragraphs that when read otgether were actually much more coherent. The people who broke up those coherent revisions by interspersing new comments did the earlier respondent a terrific disservice.
- I think this is the main reason why breaking up another person's argument is not recommended. I encourage you to consider following those recommendations. Geo Swan (talk) 14:29, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
- Alright. The current format works for me. I was trying to make the discussion more readable, but I understand how it could have the opposite effect once responses and their responses pile up. Jafeluv (talk) 06:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Adminship
[edit]Hi Geo Swan, as you may have noticed, my admin rights have been restored. I think you didn't expect this outcome and to be honest I am surprised as well. When I came back from a long wikibreak a few weeks ago, I was really not expecting to be an admin again in the near (or even far) future. Now the rights got restored, I will do my best to avoid the problems from 2011 to repeat.

Arctic Kangaroo
[edit]Hi there, Regarding your post at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Doleschallia bisaltide bisaltide (Autumn Leaf) - male, January 2013, Singapore.jpg I to noticed that comment by Arctic Kangaroo and by looking at their global contributions I restored a number of uses. But to avoid an edit war I didn't mention anything and didn't undo the edit but instead restored the images usage. I didn't want to let Arctic Kangaroo and start and edit war or escalate the situation further (the same reason I have posted this here and not at the DR). Liamdavies (talk) 09:39, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Construction on the Jane loop in 1935.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
