RE:User:Steve46814/Korea Gallery creation

Thank you for your consideration.

As you may have detected, no one has stepped up to offer me any assistance in learning to navigate the intricacies of the Wikimedia Commons. I may have found a book that will help me learn how to contribute to the Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons without making a mess of things. I don't have that book yet but I have hopes it will help me a lot.

This "Korea Gallery" looks like it should be so much easier to use. Would you consider explaining how to created gallery pages like this so I may add additional gallery pages for use with non-Korean content as well?

Thank you again for your assistance, patience and time.

(p.s. I would also appreciate knowing if this is the appropriate way to correspond with you)

Re:Followup to meessage "User:Steve46814/Korea Gallery" 23 August 2008

Your guidance in creating gallery pages was great. I have accomplished that task and populated the new gallery with some photos. I have also figured out how to create sub categories with a little trial and error (OK, mistakes). Hopefully I have not created a mess that you or someone else will need to clean up as with my passed endeavors.

Thank you again for your help, patience and interest in assisting me.

Re: Pansori images

Thank you for your kind remarks about the Pansori images. These pictures were taken inside an auditorium with theatrical lighting, which helped. As you know, with the exception of the snap of the fan, there is little rapid movement in a Pansori performance. I was able to hold the camera steady enough, with the help of the "steady shot" feature of the camera, to get a couple of good shots. You'll notice the fan is closed in both pictures. The composition of the pictures would have been better with the fan open, but the pictures I took when the fan was open turned out to be too blurry to be any good.

The Korean culture is so rich, diverse and fascinating that we try to experience as much of the traditional and contemporary cultures as we can while traveling in Korea. So little of the Korean culture is well known or understood outside Korea, especially in the West - and particularly in the US, that I think it is important to promote understanding of these two (traditional and contemporary) great cultures. This seems like a good venue to do accomplish some of this.

I have added another picture but am not able to categorize it. Would you please have a look, at your leisure, and add a category for me? Image:Korea-Black mussels 6680-07.JPG

Thank you, I appreciate all your patient help and assistance.

Carlos Kleiber again

Hey Caspian Blue: you wrote:

• Hi, Menerbes. Good to see you again. I'm afraid I don' know hot to solve the problem because I've never done to ask a permission from famous people's family. He WAS god to me....too, so I understand his daughter's opinion. Is the photo that you want to get a permission from her for a purpose to use in Wikipedia or others? If your request is lied in the first case, we can use it as a fair use image since he was deceased. But as for the latter case, well, I don't know what solution might be. Sorry that I can't give you a helpful opinion. Best. --Caspian blue (talk) 21:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

• Well, you misunderstood me. I am not talking about Kleiber's daughter, but about Siegried Lauterwasser's daughter. Lauterwasser was an official photographer for DG, and passed away in 2000. Alexandra is now in charge of the copyrights... And before readings the terms and conditions of the FGDL license, she only agreed for a CD cover where DG could be perhaps better seen than Kleiber himself. This is mean.... You know, Kleiber was also God for me, and I would respect his children viewpoints; but that is not the case. About celebrity families who don't want to give a photo, well, I had a very nice time with Hermann Scherchen's dautghter Myriam, who allowed me almost everything, because she was happy to see her father recognized.. I will find a way, you will see!!!

Thanks a lot. Good WE. User Talk: MenerbesMenerbes (talk) 18:57, 26 September 2008 (UTC)20:55

Flickr review request

Hello Caspian blue, and thank you for your application to be a flickr reviewer. The application has been removed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. Congratulations! Please see Commons:Flickr images if you haven't done so already, and the backlogs at Category:Flickr images needing human review and Category:Flickr review needed. A helpful script for easy-tagging flickr images is at importScript('User:Patstuart/Flickrreview.js'); (which you can add to your monobook.js), and you can add {{User reviewer}} or {{User trusted}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your work on Commons! :) PeterSymonds (talk) 14:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Good luck. If you need any help, you know where to find me. — Kanonkas // talk // CCD // 14:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice and confidence in me. If I have any question on the new tool, I will ask you for help. Thanks, again.--Caspian blue 15:13, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Rename request

You can't do a rename request if you are not an Admin or trusted user? You should contact an Admin like Kanonkas to do a null edit on the image files you want to rename. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 10:24, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I recently became a commons reviewer, and am also listed to Commons:MediaMoveBot/CheckPage#Approved users. Thanks you for caring.--Caspian blue 14:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

•  Comment There are so many categories on WikiCommons, that I lose track. Anyway, keep up the good work on renaming the images. Yes, I was the person who persuaded the flickr owner to license some of his images as 'cc by sa' as this shows. I did not know he would license his whole set of Gyeongju photos free...but he obviously didn't mind doing this. (I just mentioned only 3 photos...which I had not had deleted which is why I later had to file an undeletion request here) Personally, I think his images are unbelievable...taken at maximum resolution. Its a pity most people's images are of inferior quality. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:28, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. As the guess, you contacted the photographer. I've been searching good images regarding Korea on Flickr, and many of his images are marked as "my favorites" because of the good quality. However, I delayed to contact him directly, but you did. I really appreciate your effort for Commons, so we have the quality images from the photographer. Thank you for the message, and kind words. Best regards--Caspian blue 17:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

• Sure. It was not a problem at all. In real life, my favourite topic is Ancient Egypt and I have uploaded many images on the subject. Here are the best ones from other flickr owners:
• File:Psusennes I mask by Rafaèle.jpg
• File:Mask of Amenemope1.jpg
• File:Crown of Sit-Hathor Yunet (Senusret II's daughter).jpg
• File:Crown of Thutmose III's 3 foreign wives from Wady Gabbanat el-Qurud.jpg
• File:General Wendebauendjed's cups from Tanis by John Campana.jpg

The mask of Amenemope is my only valued quality image from a good friend at flickr. Most times the people I ask are willing to change the license...provided they are named in the image title itself. Regards from Metro Vancouver Canada, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Interesting list, though I more like your porcelain image collection, which are taken in high quality. I'm interested in Persian and East Asian porcelain wares. Certainly contacting people with email is not an easy job, so I appreciate your work via OTRS.--Caspian blue 19:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:Pictures and Galleries

Thank you for you generous comments on my pictures and the time you spent on creating galleries. I have many pictures taken on our trips to Korea but find the picture uploading procedure slow and cumbersome so it takes me a long time to accomplish anything. Still working on adding more for Guinsa. If you know of a way to more easily upload pictures, other than using the "Upload file" link provided on the left side of the Commons screen, please advise. Thanks again for your help and interest.Steve46814 (talk) 23:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the Barnstar. That was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Your recommending the "Commonist" bulk photo uploader is also greatly appreciated. This should be a great tool with a few more refinements but it works fairly well now the way it is, and does save time once one figures out all the quirks. Thanks again for for your consideration.Steve46814 (talk) 03:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Renamed

Hi,

I noticed your quistion by Kanonkas, could you confirm for me that you checked all the files that could be deleted and non of them are in use? :)

best regards, Huib talk 19:12, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, its done. :)

Thanks for your work on that list :D

Thank you for the visit. I've just finished to check out that all images are not in use. You can confirm it by glancing this and this and that. --Caspian blue 19:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Great job, keep up the good work Caspian blue. Huib talk 19:26, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Note

You missed these 2 images here: [1] and [2] Rinux still lives in some image titles...for the time being. These are 2 older images I had OTRS'ed. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 02:09, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind notification. The user who originally uploaded the images has a tendency to name as such....so well, there are way more than Rinux-typed names to be renanmed later. Thank you.--Caspian blue 02:20, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

• Sure no problem at all. I was just pointing them out to you since I am not an expert in Korean history (Egyptology is my main interest) and don't know an appropriate title for them unlike you. Cheers, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:04, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Have a good weekend. :-) Caspian blue 04:34, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

"[year] in [country]" categories

In principle, I agree with you 100%. It should be (for example) Category:Germany in 1964, rather than Category:1964 in Germany. Besides sounding more natural, the former is consistent with the "[country] in the [decade]" category tree. I also note that the "[country] in [year]" form is more inclusive (for example, something like this, which is so extremely relevant and iconic to the American experience in 1945, could be included in Category:United States in 1945 or a subcategory thereof, but arguably would be excluded from Category:1945 in the United States because it didn't occur in the U.S.).

However, the problem is that the current standard is "[year] in [country]" - the vast majority of the year/country categories (it appears only the South Korean categories are the exception) follow that format. I don't agree with it, but that's the standard. It needs to be changed across the board, so that all "[year] in [country]" categories are switched to "[country] in [year]", rather than having the occasional "[country] in [year]" cat. I personally do not have the energy at this time to make a recommendation at COM:CFD that we make this switch (my previous suggestion at COM:CFD seems to be ignored), but I would wholeheartedly support any proposal that you or someone else would make to do the switchover. I know that User:Foroa is also troubled by the "[year] in [country]" form, and would presumably support a proposal to change them all to "[country] in [year]".

In the meantime and until there is consensus at COM:CFD to do otherwise, however, the South Korean year cats need to be consistent with the rest of the "[year] in [country]" category tree, and that means (for example) Category:1964 in South Korea. If someone is prepared to raise the issue at CFD, I will hold off making the switchover of any South Korean year cats, but otherwise we need to be consistent within this one category tree. --skeezix1000 (talk) 17:31, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

The U.S. decade categories are in the "[country] in the [decade]" form (as is the case for all countries, as far as I know), but all of the U.S. year categories are in the "[year] in [country]" form. I don't know why the decade category tree follows a different form that the year category tree, but that's (sadly) the way it is. Consistency-wise, it makes more sense that the South Korean year categories follow the format of the year category tree, rather than looking to the decade category tree, and the year category tree is overwhelmingly in the "[year] in [country]" format. I think the only solution is to propose a widespread change through COM:CFD. --skeezix1000 (talk) 14:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

That's a good idea. If you make a proposal, let me know, and I will support it. If there is consensus for the change, someone will arrange for a bot to make the change. --skeezix1000 (talk) 17:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
