Kaupunginosakartat

[edit]

Olet tehnyt hienoa työtä kaupunginosakarttojen kanssa. Itse olen käyttänyt niitä ruotsinkielisessä wikissä kun olen laittanut lisää tietoa Helsingin kaupunginosa-artikkeleihin. Joitakin karttoja puuttuu vielä ja olisi mukavaa jos voisit jossain vaiheessa tehdä niitä lisää, itse kun en osaa. Peruspiireistä puuttuu ainakin seuraavat kartat: Laajasalon pp, Puistolan pp, Vanhankaupungin pp ja Ullanlinnan pp. Lisäksi ei ole kaupunginosakarttaa Santahaminasta ja Suomenlinnasta (joka on myös kaupunginosa!). Migro 17:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hei, kiitos palautteesta Migro. Suomenlinna, Santahamina, Länsisaaret, Itäsaaret ja Helsinginniemen eteläosa ovat mulla tietoisesti jonkin aikaa jäähyllä; rajojen kulku on kyllä jo selvitetty. Laitan "tilapäiset" kartat Puistolan ja Vanhakaupungin pp:stä hetken kuluttua jakeluun; Ullanlinna ja Santahamina vaatisivat karttalaajenuksen.
Olin jo alunperin tähdännyt kaikkien karttojen ajantasaistamiseen seuraavan "rundin" aikana joskus loka-marraskuu seutuvilla. Tuolloin pyrin esim. laittamaan meren vaalean siniseksi ja tuomaan peruspiirikartoissa myös suurpiirit esille. Olin ajatellut laittaa värityksen keskustelulistalle, kun saan koko Helsingin karttapohjan laajennuksen tehtyä & uuden värihierarkian mietittyä. Eteläisimpiin kaupunginosiin + saarien kuvaamiseen tarvitaan parannettu, erityisesti etelään leviävä kartta, johon lisätään esimerkiksi nyt puuttuvat/suljetut Vallisaari, Pukkisaari ja Kuninkaansaari Suomenlinnan ja Santahaminan välille sekä ainakin Pihlajasaaret ja Melkki, + luokkaa 10 suosituinta isoa ulkoilu/sotilassaarta... Ilman Suomenlinnaa suurempaa Vallisaarta jne sekä Suomenlinnan/ Ullanlinnan pp että Santahaminan/ Laajasalon pp kartat olisivat hassua itsesensuuria. Mielestäni kaupunginosa-artikkeleissa voi kirjoittaa muustakin kuin asukkaista; erityisesti saarien kohdalla kulttuuri- ja virkistysarvot ovat meille merelläkin liikkuville kaupunkilaisille tärkeitä juttuja ja ansaitsevat tulla esille.
Vantaalle tein vähän onnistumennin väritettyjä karttoja. Siellä kaikista kaupunginosista on olemassa kartat, joissa sekä kaupunginosa että palvelualue näkyy. => Helsinkiin ajattelin pp karttoja, joissa myös suurpiiri näkyisi vastaavasti.
Yhtenä muuna proggiksena mulla on eri kaupunginosia koskevien valokuvien rätkiminen ja erityisesti PKS-seudun 1990+2000-luvun kiinnostavien arkkitehtuurikohteiden dokumentointi. => Väriä artikkeleihin (yritän välttää sateisia päiviä) ja toivottavasti ilonaiheita! Aika hauskojakin kohteita joukossa, joista ei vielä matkaoppaissa kerrota, mutta arkkitehtuuri tms. lehdissä jo. Kun matskua vähän enemmän kasassa, juttuja / kuvia alkaa ehkä ruveta tippumaan luokkaa kuukauden (??) päästä... Luulen, että tuo kuvitus/kohteiden -lisäyshanke kestää ainakin vuoden tai pari.
On tosi hienoa, että teet/uusit artikkeleja ruotsiksi. Kun saataisiin vielä joku tekemään samaa englanniksi, (ranskaksi, saksaksi, viroksi ja venäjäksi)... :) --Paju 21:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

File:Grodno church 1a.jpg

[edit]

Привет, Paju! У меня вопрос об этих изображениях. У файла "Grodno church 1a" нет даты. Возможно, она та же, что и у "Grodno church 1b"?

Доктор рукиноги (talk) 15:07, 13 September 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Privet Doktor rukinogi, you are right! Both of these photos were taken in early October 2009. I'm not quite sure of the date, it may be 8.10.2009. Thus I added in precaution, "October 2009," because in October these images were downloaded to my computer. The raw image size was about 1.2 MB, or about 3000 * 2300 pixels.--Paju (talk) 00:24, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given

[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 23:02, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Upload failures

[edit]

Hello, thanks for your lovely Finnish photos and your report at [1]. It seems you managed to upload files at the end? But you don't need to reduce their size, you can and should upload them at high resolution. Let me know if that still fails, I'd like to see your photos at higher resolution. --Nemo 08:09, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, upload was successful later when I downloaded these files some 2-4 separate lots. There was a annual photo competition in fi-wikipedia which I participated. In principle, I do not share full size pics here. 1) Firstly: to give privacy to the persons in pictures, 2) to hide security related infrastructure of schools, firms, court houses, office buildings, etc. and 3) thirdly: there are users who do not give any credits to the photographers sharing their photos in Commons when using the photo files :-( . Sometimes mentioning "photo from Commons" is included, sometimes there is no mention at all of the origin. Thus, I share full resolution photos for more controlled user groups, e.g. for scientific use, my friends etc, upon request. --Paju (talk) 13:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minsk photos

[edit]

Hello! Last month you filed a deletion request for a bunch of Minsk photos. Many of these photos were in use in Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, and other Wikimedia projects. Now we have empty spaces and red links instead of these photos. As you mentioned that these photos can be uploaded locally, could you do so and repair the damage imparted to several Wikimedia projects? Thank you!

Additionally, I stay bewildered by warnings that you added to several categories including this one. How should I treat multiple photos that remain there? --Atsirlin (talk) 15:37, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is not my job to correct issues caused by faulty / illegal storage of photos into Commons. One should not use photos which are stored in Commons with faulty copyright. Please refer to copyright discussions of Commons and local legistlation. So if some application in wikis or elsewhere is dependent of illegal photos previously or currently stored in Commons, then he/ she who picks these photos, or creates/ uses software to do so, has the legal problem and possible results of that. The process and rules of Commons say that such photos shall be removed. Kindly note - sorry to say - there are still thousands of such photos (of non-FOP) in Commons which are due to be removed! I am not the only person suggesting removal of unauthorized photos from Commons. PS. E.g. citation approach requires quite a lot of work to figure who is the designer/ architect/ sculptor behind each work and if it is >50 years since all these persons were alive! --Paju (talk) 19:20, 2 November 2013 (UTC), whistleblower[reply]
You still have not answered my second question.
Regarding the first one, it is not a serious excuse. What you gained so far is an insignificant improvement of the copyright situation on Commons at the cost of a serious damage to many articles across different projects and different languages. What worries me most is that those projects have no way of tracking which images are proposed for deletion here until the files are eventually deleted and lost. Therefore, I kindly ask you to make sure that you notify projects using the photos (not the original uploaders, who are remotely interested in this!) before any future deletions. It will be also very kind from your side if you help with uploading useful photos locally. This is a natural way of communication and collaboration between the projects.
Finally, the rest of your message is nothing but a naive and idealistic way of thinking. We can not expect all users on all projects to have solid understanding of every subtle detail of Commons policies. There are several reasons behind it: i) Wikimedia Commons is considered a trusted source of photos; we don't have to re-assess every photo before using it in other projects; ii) there is no clear-cut explanation of what is allowed and what is not (it looks like you don't know it yourself, because in Belarus copyright expires in 70 years, not in 50 years as you mentioned); iii) the current situation on Commons is at best inconsistent as I mentioned in my second question above; iv) most people do not understand the difference between the copyrighted photo uploaded on Commons and the same photo uploaded locally under fair use. It is still the same copyrighted photo being incorporated into the CC-BY-SA content.
I will highly appreciate if you think about these issues before filing any future deletion requests, because starting a request and pressing the button is simple, but it brings no good to anyone. --Atsirlin (talk) 06:40, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Respecting copyrights is vital issue to artists and designers. That is the point of copyright laws, Commons rules and also here. A photographer of artwork can give only some technical right for technical usage of the photo (with CC he/she does not ask money, but mentioning of person/ alias is needed in many cases). But he/she typically does not have copyright of the artwork, so she/he does not have right and can not give away free publication rights. Therefore, publishers like Commons or other wikimedia, or other users of such photos still need to respect the copyright laws protecting artistic works, i.e. the artists or their heirs/ agency. One can store photos in wikipedias with much stricter licences and publication policies; e.g. in fiwikipedia, there must be description of the artworks and key artists included. Otherwise it is not accepted as artwork photo / citation approach, and cannot be stored in fi-wiki. These rules vary somewhat/ much from country to country, I guess. Back to point A: So typically, if there is no freedom of panorama - like in France or Belarus - photographers may take pictures, but they do not have the copyright of the modern or relatively recent artwork published even in the open sphere - like paintings, sculpture, buildings, etc. (which is typically valid 50-70 years after artists are dead). You are not allowed to start selling postcards / calenders / miniature models etc. showing these objects under copyright, without requesting publishing right from the copyright holder. I am not sure if authorities can charge users violating the copyright, unless the copyright holder requests it. But I guess it is possible in case the user belongs to too noisy opposition... (?) Please discuss with local legal experts or open discussion boards of your wiki or Commons. This is not technical helpdesk nor legal one. Thus I'll close this discussion. PS. Sometimes warnings are needed so that people/ users understand that it is not ok to continue practices which are against the Commons rules & legistlation... E.g. photos of key works of V. Kramarenka et. co. (like national library) have been "unstable" also earlier. --Paju (talk) 00:13, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tiedoksi

[edit]

Onneksi olkoon, kirkkokuvasi on päässyt Hesariin [2]. Keskustelua aiheesta myös Kahvihuoneessa. Yt, -Htm (talk) 15:27, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mitä tälle asialle kuuluu? Mitä on tehty? Onko jossain suljettu foorumi, missä toimenpiteistä keskustellaan?? Eihän oikeuskäytännöissä yleensä vastaajalle (rikoksesta epäillylle) kerrota asianomaisen puolustuksen linjausta välttämättä, vaikka rikosilmoitusta seuraava poliisitutkinta toki asian voisi näyttöä esille tuodakin. Onko fiwikipedia tai wikimedia tehnyt rikosilmoituksen asiassa? Sellaista ei taida nimimerkillä kuviansa jättäneet voida Suomessa nimimerkin murtumatta jättää, mutta ilmiannon kyllä kai voi tällöinkin tehdä (nettipoliisille?)... Kovasti haluaisin tiedon siitä, että lainrikkojat on saatu ruotuun, he ovat korjanneet virheensä! Hesarin rike/ rikollinen teko Commonsin sääntöjä, sinne kuvia laittaneiden tekijänoikeuksia (tekijänoikeuslakia) ja hyvää lehtimiestapaa vastaan näyttää ilmeiseltä. Tässä tilanteessa aiheutuu haittaa myös siitä, ettei suuren mediatalon härskin, ilmeisen laittoman käytöksen takia nyt enää/toistaiseksi uskalla tai tohdi laittaa viime vuoden elokuun jälkeen ja etenkin keväällä/kesällä systemaattisemmin kerättyjä valokuvia massatalletuksena Commonsiin edes harrastamallani karsitulla resoluutiolla. Ensin tuo rikollinen pitää saada kuriin, sitten luottamus toivottavasti palautuu. Tämä oli (puutteellisesti toimivan botin ohella) ehkä keskeisin syy sille, että vetäydyin fiwikin Elokuun kuvituskisasta 2014 äskettäin pois. Viime vuonnahan (2013) "voitin" tuon skaban. Nyt valmiina oli vajaa 300 muokattua (rajaus, resoluutio, nimeäminen, mahd. horisontin kierto kohdalleen yms., alustava kuvateksti engl/suomeksi) jpg-kuvaa Suomesta ja ulkomailta. Ja oli valmius/ aikomus/ suunnitelmaakin tutustua lähialueiden/kulttuuri/yhteiskunta/asuinalueisiin/yrityksiin/ilmiöihin +50-70 km säteellä kolmesta "tukikohdasta" lähtien vielä tämän elokuunkin aikana kameran kanssa. Sukulointi/työmatkat siihen päälle. (Pidän Hesarin käytöksen takia myös suunniteltua GLAM-yhteistyötä nyt harmaalle alueelle joutuneena; ainakin tälläinen esimerkki tekijänoikeuksien rikkomisesta täytyy selkeästi tuoda esille ja kertoa hyvistä käytännöistä/esimerkeistä rikkureiden palauttamiseksi.) --Paju (talk) 14:26, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Täytyypä tutkia asiaa fi-wikin puolella kuhan ehtii. Tekijänoikeuskahvihuoneesta pitäisi löytää oikeaan paikkaan, jossa selostettu toimenpiteitä. -Kuvien tekijä voi tehtä rikosilmoituksen tekijänoikeusrikkomuksesta, se otetaan vastaan, mutta saat paluupostissa ilmoituksen tutkinnan lopettamisesta, koska rikoksesta on seurauksena korkeintaan sakkoja. Hesarin jutun laatinut toimittaja on nyt vuosilomalla syyskuun alkuun. -Htm (talk) 07:10, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Warning sign
This media was probably deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Helsinki-districts-Rastila.png, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Helsinki-districts-Rastila.png]]).

If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.

If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

They all have been created/ partly redrawn by me (based on PD or CC chart), and should thus not be removed, even though Helsinki has changed it's borders. I'll try to update their classification / copyright data after this stupid suggestion/ discussion of "global user accounts", which approach clearly violates user privacy due to the autologin in case user is present online in one wiki, an the original single login approach (valid as I signed in in Commons), has been changed/ cancelled.

Your account will be renamed

[edit]

22:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

You are wrong! The user is the same Paju as in may other wikis. He/She he does not accept global accounts to be used in wikipedia, only local accounts. The global approach violates the original agreement which suggested single / local login. Moreover, and more seriosly, the current approach of autologin user in other wikis violates user privacy if he/she just looks for an article or photos but does not edit any part of it. Such a visits shall always be anonymous, unless user specifically agrees or wishes identification who reads the article or looks the photo. Active users with Username should not have any weaker privacy than anonymous ones! No tracking nor autologin is needed unless pictures are uploaded/ data is updated!

OK, no Category:Copyright violations edits directly. But adding class or {{copyvio|https://www.flickr.com/photos/elosaatio/24435100004/in/album-72157665846651152/}} with link stating NC status of the source file is clearly one compact way to report violation.

A good reason to use standard procedures from the tools menu is that it will help you to follow the process properly. It's e.g. mandatory to inform the uploader if you nominate a file for deletion. The scripts from the tools menu will do that for you, but in none of your manual nominations you did that. Please don't use templates like {{Copyvio}} in the nomination reason. If you use the 'report copyright violation' link (which you did not), the script will add the copyvio template to the file description page. Jcb (talk) 00:03, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cropping images

[edit]

By way of information for the future, when you want to crop an image, as you did with File:National Museum and National Library of Chad in N'Djamena - 2014-10-01 a.jpg. I suggest you use the CropTool that can be activated in your commons Preferences, under Gadgets. The CropTool will then appears in the left side of your screen. It saves everyone a lot of time because it transfers all the correct and appropriate information into the cropped image, such as source, license, author, etc. It even leaves a backlink to the original and visa versa so long as the original has been positively reviewed. That way all the proper information is there and does not need to be manually reviewed. If you are just cropping a small bit of the image like a frame you can decide to overwrite the original image but for more major crops you should upload the cropped version as a separate new image, as you did, but you have a choice. I hope you can see how everyone can save time and frustration by using CropTool. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 18:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I had not much time for taking artistically nice photos. Much work is left, e.g. next year one could have much larger palette of old photos available with locations to be snapped again. I did found several sources for (130-90 years) old photos but none of those where just 100 years old as was wished this year. My suggestion is to leave the WLM pages for Finland open for next year; allowing people to study the existing targets also before Sept. 2019. --Paju~commonswiki (talk) 19:36, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
