Notice of namespace-rename "Image" -> "File"

Dear user, the MediaWiki developers recently announced that the "Image:" namespace is going to be renamed to "File:". "Image:" will remain an alias. The canonical namespace name wgCanonicalNamespace will change from "Image" to "File".

I noticed that you use wgCanonicalNamespace in either your monobook.js page or a JavaScript file in your userspace (check this list).

Please check and replace all occurrences of

wgCanonicalNamespace == "Image"

with

wgNamespaceNumber == 6

to ensure that your scripts keep working. Thanks! --Dschwen (talk) 18:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

File:Shaman - Ritual.jpg

Hey man, sorry, but that file already exists in the English Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_(album) ). I was just trying to use the same file on the Portuguese Wikipedia ( http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_(%C3%A1lbum) )... User:Jcursiolf

Hi Jcursiolf,

as you can see on the file description page there (en:File:Shaman ritual.jpg) the image is used there under the fair use clause. But fair use isn't allowed on Commons, see Commons:Licensing#Material_under_the_fair_use_clause_is_not_allowed_on_Commons. I suggest you read Commons:Licensing before you upload other pictures. --Isderion (talk) 22:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Some rights reserved

Images were uploaded under Creative Commons. The photos also had tags stating that some rights were reserved. Tarysky (talk) 15:51, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

A proper upload under CC looks that way. Can you see the link on the cc-site on the right. Look at http://www.flickr.com/help/photos/#87 for deatils. --Isderion (talk) 22:22, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Hochladen

Hallo Isderion,

ich wollte gerade eine Datei hochladen. Doch beim Durchsuchen finde ich:Chrome,components, default usw. Damit habe ich gar nichts zu tun. Aber ich finde nicht meine Festplatte! Siehst Du bitte mal nach, was dort nicht stimmt? Danke und liebe Grüße --Heidi (talk) 10:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Hallo Heidi,

sorry, ich bin zur Zeit recht selten hier oder auf Wikipedia unterwegs (verliert irgendwie auch seinen Reiz :)) und kann deine Frage gerade nicht ein- bzw. zuordnen. Deinen PC kann ich natürlich auch nicht anschauen, wir kennen uns im wirklichen Leben ja gar nicht... Trotzdem viele Grüße --Isderion (talk) 00:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Please consider commenting on Commons talk:Photographs of identifiable people

I have just posted a question on Commons talk:Photographs of identifiable people, regarding the list where Consent of the subject (who is a non-public figure) is required even for photographs taken in public places in the following countries. I think you may be able to provide relevant and valuable input, and kindly requests that you comment there. --Henrik (heb: Talk · Contributions · E-mail) 06:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Isderion!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

VP-Ankündigung

Hallo Isderion, du hattest deine VP-Ankündung der noch in Bau befindlichen We-miss-you-Seite sicher gut gemeint. Aber das Ergebnis ist leider, dass Obertroll Penyulap, dessen offenkundig einziger Daseinszweck auf Commons die größtmögliche Störung des Projekts ist, die Seite bereits jetzt missbraucht, um dort die angeblichen "Opfer der schlimmen Verhältnisse auf Commons" zu präsentieren[1],[2], als deren Rächer er sich gerne aufspielt. Dazu brauchen wir keine eigene Seite auf Commons, das bieten schon die Kritikerforen wikipediocracy & Co. Ich werde die Seite, die ich als eine positive Erinnerungsseite geplant hatte, wohl wieder löschen. (der Seiteninhalt samt deiner beiden Einträge habe ich in meinen BNR kopiert) Die hiesige Community, sofern überhaupt existent, ist offenbar noch nicht reif genug dafür. --Túrelio (talk) 09:27, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Túrelio,

ich bin doch negativ überrascht, dass eine Seite an deren Inhalt ich einen deutlichen Anteil hatte, einfach so gelöscht wird. Das Inklusionskriterien für solche Seiten bzw. die Präsentation des Grundes des Weggangs ein Streitpunkt sein können ist zudem nicht commons-spezifisch (siehe beispielsweise de:Wikipedia Diskussion:Vermisste Wikipedianer#Persönliche Befindlichkeiten auf dieser Seite oder de:Wikipedia Diskussion:Vermisste Wikipedianer#Vermisst?) und durchaus lösbar (wie gesagt klappt ja auch auf de.wp und da gibt's ja auch einige Trolle (wie immer die man definiert)). Gestern hatte ich nur noch gesehen, dass Penyulap einen Platzhalter-Eintrag angelegt hatte und fand das ein wenig seltsam und hatte vor, heute was dazu zu schreiben... Aber aus den Handlungen eines einzelnen Benutzers zu schlussfolgern, dass die Community noch nicht bereit sei, halte ich für überfrüht. Da du Underconstruction wieder eingesetzt hast, hattest du für die Seite noch etwas geplant? --Isderion (talk) 13:26, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

We miss you

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:We_miss_you&diff=98398776&oldid=98397521 – Why can't the little people on Commons be added to the list? Aren't they important? Don't they deserve love and appreciation? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Michaeldsuarez,

of course also little people deserve love and appreciation. But I think in this case you miss the point because in order to miss somebody you have to know that person. But with the time Mistress Selina Kyle spend editing on Commons she did not give the community the opportunity to get to know her. If you disagree I encourage you to bring the matter up on the appropriate talk page. --Isderion (talk) 02:56, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Alright. I rather not not make a big deal out of it, especially after Multichill blocked Penyulap due to a dispute regarding that page. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 03:26, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Rollback Revoked + Warning

Isderion, your recent reverts of Canoe1967's talk page posts here and here are not only inappropriate, but also constitute a blatant abuse of the rollback tool. I'm aware that you and Canoe have disagreed in the past, but it is highly inappropriate to use this powerful tool (granted to trustworthy users for the sole purpose of fighting vandalism) against other established editors. Furthermore, I'm highly disappointed to see that you tried to turn a barnstar (For the record, I awarded it to Canoe for reasons completely unrelated to Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Non-free graffiti) recognizing Canoe's positive contributions to the project, into something negative because you disagree with him. This is considered harassment (a very blockable offense) and is not tolerated on Commons, which really isn't something I should have to remind you of. That said, for your sake, I suggest you drop the stick and avoid Canoe for the time being: edits like this and this DR are vengeful in nature and do nothing to help your cause. In the meantime, I will also be reminding Canoe to stay mellow and avoid you as well. As for the fate of Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Non-free graffiti, I will not be changing my decision on the matter. You may try COM:UD if you wish, though it is likely the community will arrive at the same conclusion. Regards, FASTILY 10:47, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

File:Champlay-FR-45-Le Grand Longeron-23.JPG

File:Champlay-FR-45-Le Grand Longeron-23.JPG has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Your VFC installation method is deprecated

Hello Isderion, we are aware that using the old installation method of VFC (via common.js, which you are using) may not work reliably anymore and can break other scripts as well. A detailed explanation can be found here. Important: To prevent problems please remove the old VFC installation code from your common.js and instead enable the VFC gadget in your preferences. Thanks! --VFC devs (q) 16:23, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Nachholtermin 17. Fotoworkshop

Im Gedenken an Gnu

Moin von der Küste,
es ist schon so viele Jahre her, dass wir uns in Nürnberg getroffen haben, wir (Ailura und ich) planten deshalb einen Fotoworkshop im Frühjahr 2019. Als wir erfuhren, dass Sebastian ebenfalls in Frühjahr ein BarCamp plant, entschlossen wir uns, zusammen zu arbeiten. Wir gliedern uns organisatorisch an diesem BarCamp an, sprich sind im gleichen Hotel, essen gemeinsam und nutzen ein Raum des Camps für unsere Fotovorträge, ähnlich wie auf der WikiCon 2011 in Nürnberg.
Wie Ihr vielleicht mitbekommen habt, ist Gnu zu seiner letzten Wanderung aufgebrochen, daher möchten auch wir seiner Gedenken.
Die weiteren Tage wollen wir gemeinsam ein Programm aus Fototouren und Vorträgen zusammenstellen, es ist noch viel Luft für Eure Ideen und Vorträge. Den geplanten ausführlichen LR Workshop wird zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt im Frühsommer ( WMDE gibt den Ort vor) stattfinden, da dieser sehr weit in die Tiefe gehen soll. Ich würde mich freuen, Euch in Nürnberg begrüßen zu können, wundere Dich nicht über meine Nachricht auch wenn Du lange nichts mehr editiert hast, ich habe Deinen Namen aus den letzten FWS kopiert. ;)

Tschüß
Euer
-- Ra Boe watt?? 12:54, 19 January 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)

Suppression injustifié de photos

Cher collègue de Wikipedia; Ma photo a été récemment supprimée pour "problèmes de droits d'auteur"

Concernant la photographie, il n'y a aucun problème avec des droits d'auteurs, puisque je suis l'auteur de la photo. Merci de bien vouloir arrêter de supprimer arbitrairement mes contributions, la réflexion me semble essentielle avant de prendre de pareilles décisions. Si toutefois le problème est autre, je vous invite à me le décrire afin que je puisse comprendre et ne plus recommencer. Vous comprendrez ma déception de voir une suppression d'une contribution cordiale et volontaire sans une once de justification.

File:Lugansk People's Republic in Ukraine (de-facto) (semi-secession).svg

Hi. For old situation commons have this map: File:LPR in Ukraine.svg. LPR controlled new nord territories (МИД ЛНР), official map. If you wish, replace map in articles, not commons. Машъал (talk) 20:41, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi,

apart from the fact that there are not really "official maps" in this regard, have you read and understood Commons:Overwriting existing files? --Isderion (talk) 21:14, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Commons:Overwriting existing files#Files with current data & examples. Машъал (talk) 23:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi to both of you; I have protected the file for a day because of the ongoing editwar. As this file was unchanged from 2016 to 2022 and you added the {{Current}} tag only now on 8 March when you wished to change the file, I think it might be better to keep that file as the unchanged historical one and create a new one for continuous updating, if necessary. I would propose to remove the {{Current}} template after the protection has run out. For transparency, I was made aware of this case here (in German). Gestumblindi (talk) 01:10, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
