How to promotionate images

Hi Dschwen, I´d like to know which is the mecanism to get a Quality Image promotion tag, should I select a quality image from another user first?... Many Thanks in advance Valdavia (talk) 10:19, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

First step is to nominate them. Promoting will have to be done by an independent reviewer. Instructions are on COM:QIC, or just take a look at the nominations on the page. Look at the ones with {{/Nominate|.... --Dschwen (talk) 21:25, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

VICbot notification

Hi Dschwen. Is there no notification for the VIC creator, when is different from nominator? If not, would it be possible to have that done as well by the bot? --Elekhh (talk) 09:45, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

LargeImage template discussion

Dschwen, I commented on the LargeImage Template talk page and wanted to know if you'd seen my comments. If so, what are your thoughts? Thanks. Earthsound (talk) 20:43, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

In commons' current state of emergency you are not allowed to discuss or work on any topics unrelated to "sexual images". So unless you have some LargeImage's of genitalia to show me I cannot reply to your request right now. --Dschwen (talk) 20:46, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

crickets chirping, tumbleweeds rolling by... ...anyhow, I answered on the template page. You probably won't like my answer. Sorry, but I was dreading to reply, as I was struggling to come up with a diplomatic answer... Tell me if I failed ;-) --Dschwen (talk) 21:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not on here every day. ;) Yes, you've given a diplomatic answer, although I disagree with your new arguments, as well. I've replied there, again, this time with different ideas/suggestions. :) Earthsound (talk) 17:29, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Octopus and light house

Hi Daniel. Have you seen my octopus/ lighthouse panorama yet? I like that image very much, but it has many errors. The originals are not so good. I hand hold the camera while standing on a very, very slippery rock literally on one foot. Would you like to give it a try, but I have to warn you, it will be time consuming job with no certain result. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:03, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, just send the original frames to me, I'll try my best. --Dschwen (talk) 23:17, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I did. They are very, very bad, tiled, out of focus and so on. Please do not spend so much time on them. Best wishes,--Mbz1 (talk) 00:34, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Ok, got them. --Dschwen (talk) 00:37, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Daniel, I am afraid it was beyond repair. I have done a better (I hope) job File:Pigeon Point Lighthouse and tide pools.jpg, but I used different shots from different sets of images (because I did take more than one set of the images). I am sorry I bothered you and took your time. Best wishes.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:02, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

clarify?

Was this sarcasm?... sometimes I have a hard time telling, so apologies. To old wiki hands much of what meatball has is stuff we already all know but I find it very useful to periodically re-read it if only to remind me of what I knew already. Other people hate it. ++Lar: t/c 21:53, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Oh, uhm, no, that was not sarcasm at all. I spent about half an hour following links on that site. and reading articles! I think that I must have stumbled across it once before, but i could not remember the sitename for the life of me. Anyhow thanks for the link. As far as I see what I wrote pretty much agrees with the article on the Meatball Wiki, only they phrased it better and have many more insightful comments. --Dschwen (talk) 22:30, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

See, I'm glad I asked :)... Thanks for clarifying! Yes, there is a lot of good stuff there. That one, and Meatball:DefendEachOther are two of my faves on that site. ++Lar: t/c 03:03, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

HA! That is what I read on there when I found the page for the first time. (I thought it was "never defend yourself, let others defend you"). That is a really great strategy, which I tried applying many times now. Unfortunately not every time people want to be defended :-D. But it is always worth trying. --Dschwen (talk) 03:20, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dschwen,
zur Abwechslung mal eine Nachricht auf deutsch =)
Schade, dass es mit dem Foto nicht geklappt hat - mir gefällt es trotzdem sehr! Ich hoffe, es ist nicht allzu deprimierend, so viele „Oppose“-Kommentare lesen zu müssen... Grüße --Brackenheim (talk) 20:07, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Nee, ist schon ok, kann ich ab ;-). Danke fuer die Nominierung trotzdem. --Dschwen (talk) 20:26, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Tetsujin 28-go

May I ask you why you deleted my picture of Tetsujin 28-go under the excuse of "No freedom of panorama in the source country: for works of art" if, right at the Commons Licensing page concerning Brazil, it's written:

"According to Brazilian Copyright law of 1998 (in Portuguese) translation: Freedom of panorama Art. 48. Works permanently located in public places may be freely represented by painting, drawing, photography and audiovisual processes."

As far as I know, the Wakamatsu square in Kobe IS a public place, and a 18-meter statue IS something permanently located in there...--Rikaris ^Talk 00:02, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Copyright law of Brazil is not relevant here, as the picture was taken in Japan. And Japan does not have FOP for public art. Furthermore the files are hosted in the US, which does not have FOP for public art either. Sorry. Sure looked like a pretty cool statue :-(. --Dschwen (talk) 00:11, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

If that's the case, let me tell you: you should delete ALL Tetsujin pictures on Japanese Wikipedia, as well as a good part of all pictures posted here at Commons; I doubt very much that, say, an American photographer who took a picture of a statue in Jordan, for example,and posted it on English Wikipedia, would be thinking about the copyright laws of that arab country...--Rikaris ^Talk 00:21, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

You can upload locally to en.wp under a fair use rationale. On commons the media must be free and unencumbered by copyright restrictions. I do not know the policy on the japanese wikipedia and I do not delete files there, but we are at commons here in any case, and your pictures were uploaded to commons. As for the american photographer: unfortunately some uploaders do indeed not think about copyright laws in foreign countries, but neither does that make tohse laws go away, nor does it have any influence on wheteher those files are accepted on commons. Ultimately someone will spot and mark the files that are in violation with commons policy (as it happened with your files). --Dschwen (talk) 00:56, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thank you for having the patience of explaining the reasons to me in detail. I'm sure sad that my Tetsujin picture (as well as my Princess Sapphire one that was also marked for deletion) cannot be shown here. And to think that I had even taken the care of asking some people at the Commons Village Pump discussion page in Portuguese before posting them! It seems I was misguiden... :(

Now I have a question: if I get a written permission from the construction company that made the statue (or should I get a permission from Hikari Productions, the company that owns the rights to Mitsuteru Yokoyama's works?) and send a copy of it to OTRS, will I be able to undo this deletion or will I have to load the pictures again?--Rikaris ^Talk 01:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

You'd have to get permission from the rights' owner. If it all gets confirmed I (or any other admin) can undelete the files with a simple mouse click. --Dschwen (talk) 03:09, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

deletion of File:Dd-Semperoper-in-1.jpg

Could you please explain why this image was deleted? --Traveler100 (talk) 05:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

The image description stated that the permission only covered non-commercial use. Unfortunately that is not sufficient for commons. --Dschwen (talk) 11:59, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. You have participated in the long debate about Ottava Rima. You may want to vote in the final poll about his block. I might have summarized your expressed opinion already, if so please check that it is correct! Only one vote ( Support,  Oppose or  Neutral), with a block length in case of support. Nothing more in this subsection! Thanks. --Eusebius (talk) 11:56, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Miami-Dade_County_Correctional_Institution.jpg

Hey, do you remember what intersection the institution is at? I know from the signs it is near the Everglades Alligator Farm. As per http://www.miamidade.gov/Corrections/facilities.asp I am trying to figure out which facility it is. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:01, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Uhm, I geocoded the image for that purpose :-) --Dschwen (talk) 14:02, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Intersection is Tower Rd and SW 376th St. --Dschwen (talk) 14:04, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

D'oh! I didn't see the geocoding tag!

Thanks for the intersection! I'm looking up to see which institution it is. Apparently the pictured prison is next to the Homestead Correctional Facility WhisperToMe (talk) 15:11, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay, it's either the Dade Correctional Institution or the Homestead Correctional Institution - I don't know which one (they both have the same address)... It's a state prison facility, not a county jail facility. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:15, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Alright. I think I got the ID from Wikimapia. Let me double check. I can rename the file if we find out which one it really is. --Dschwen (talk) 16:07, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! The odd thing is that the current Homestead Correctional Institution was originally the "Dade Correctional Institution," while the current Dade Correctional Institution was built in the 1990s and was originally the "Dade Correctional Institution Annex" WhisperToMe (talk) 16:20, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Do be careful: You managed to link to a talk page (which was linked as the location for feature requests) instead of the main page which you were describing. I fixed it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:36, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey Adam. I know where I linked to. I added a header to that talk page with further links. In general I think it is better to have a single link in the sitenotice that leads to a landing page with more information and further links. More detailed information can be presented on that landing page. Was the talk page the best choice? Probably not. Why not create Commons:Media of the day and have sections requesting help, translations, nominations etc. --Dschwen (talk) 13:55, 16 May 2010 (UTC) P.S.: anyhow, I thought in you sitenotice you asked for collaboration in general, which I thought would justify linking to the talk page. Well, nobody is perfect, and this should be easy to sort out. --Dschwen (talk) 13:57, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

template:mld & co

Just before you try to work on an old script (which is loaded by default for all user), you might want to have a look on MediaWiki:Multilingual description.js which I recently updated. Esby (talk) 04:48, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Update Sitenotice

Hi Dschwen,

Please look at the comments in the edit window. The translations need to be updated aswell, else it has no effect. –Krinkle^talk 23:10, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, it has an effect in my browser. But you are right, just forgot it this time. Last time I checked there were only hebrew and english translations in any case :-(. --Dschwen (talk) 01:14, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Deletion velocity

Hi, why the deletion velocity of this image was so fast: File:Profilové foto.jpg? Only five hours in the evening. I would say, that you should wait couple of days?--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 07:39, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

The image was tagged as speedy and looked like an obvious copyright violation. I did see no reason to kepp this on the site any longer. Images tagged with nopermission, nosource, etc. are a different story. I only delete those after 7days. Should I undelete the picture? --Dschwen (talk) 12:12, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

No, I have recomemded the user to send a permission to OTRS. So, when they got a permission they can undelete it by their own. Thx.--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 13:26, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Deletion requests

Hallo Dschwen!

Ich hatte mal 2 Dateien zu den hiesigen Löschkandidaten gestellt, eine bereits im Oktober 2009: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Holzbriketts.jpg, die andere im März 2010: Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Tattoosafe_Ladengeschäft.jpg (hatte ich in der Beitragsliste eines Werbespammers entdeckt). Gerade die erste Nomination for deletion der Holzbriketts scheint irgendwie von mir fehlerhaft angelegt worden zu sein, denn hier sind die ältesten Einträge vom November 2009 (!), ohne dass der "Brikettantrag" bearbeitet worden wäre. Auch das andere Bild wird hier nicht aufgeführt... Was habe ich da nicht beachtet, kannst Du mir helfen? Grüße, Grand-Duc (talk) 12:23, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Schau mal auf die Bildbeschreibungsseite von dem Tatooladen bild. In der delete-box stehen drei Punkte die Du abarbeiten musst. Du hast nur Punkt 1. erledigt, aber

2. Visit the deletion requests log and place the following code at the bottom:

{{subst:delete3|pg=File:Tattoosafe Ladengeschäft.jpg}}

3 Notify the item's uploader or the creator of the page by placing the following code on the user's talk page:

{{subst:idw|File:Tattoosafe Ladengeschäft.jpg|File:Tattoosafe Ladengeschäft.jpg}}

vergessen. Fuer sowas gibts ein JavaScript-Helferlein (als gadget?) mit dem diese Schritte groesstenteils automatisiert werden. --Dschwen (talk) 14:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

OK, danke für den Hinweis! Auf DE-WP ist sowas, insbesondere mit PPD's Monobook, einfacher ^^... Zumindest für das Tatooladenbild habe ich die vergessenen Sachen nachgearbeitet - wie soll ich bei dem Brikettbild verfahren? Könntest Du vielleicht eine administrative Entscheidung diesbezüglich treffen? Grüße, Grand-Duc (talk) 19:29, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Scrolling edit windows

I'm having a problem with the edit windows in Commons and WP. When the existing text doesn't fit in the window space, typing a space or a backspace (and probably other characters) makes everything to scroll up or down, way beyond the current cursor position. This is very annoying and prevents the normal use of the editor. What I'm doing now is to type the text in Word and paste it into the window. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:03, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

What browser are you using? I haven't noticed this behavior neither in firefox nor Google chrome. --Dschwen (talk) 15:08, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm using Explorer 8 (I was forced by MS). For some weeks, after the change in Commons' skin, the flaw disppeared. But is back again. Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:24, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hugin, aber seit die alte Version bei mir 'nen Tick hatte und die neue Version ja nicht ging (heute bei den KEB den Grund gelesen...) nutz(t)e ich die letzte Zeit eine Microsoft-Software. Das Pano der Brücke stitchte ich jedoch noch mit Hugin. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 19:01, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

ooookay... dann hab ichs halt da gelesen :-P Bleibt die Frage zum besseren Stitchen. Außerdem hab ich noch eine Frage: ich will heute Abend die gelben Heliumballons nochmal fotografieren gehen, die werden nämlich zwischen 22 und 1 Uhr beleuchtet (die sehen dann ungefähr so aus: [2], [3]). Kannst du mir Tipps geben, was ich besonders bei (solchen) Nacht-Aufnahmen beachten sollte? Viele Grüße --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 12:59, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Uhgh... Stativ nicht vergessen, Belichtungsreihen machen. Ich experimentiere immer mit verschiedenen ISOs (kommt auf die Szene an. gerne kleine ISO Zahlen, ausser es ist zuviel Bewegung drin). Belichtungsmessung ist tricky, da die Kameraautomatik gnadenlos ueberbelichten wollen wird. Also entweder Manuell, oder versuchs mit -2 Stops exposure compensation. Viel Spass, viel Glueck. --Dschwen (talk) 13:09, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Dschwen!

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.

Photo shop help

Hi Daniel, I took an image of a hawk with a mouse. The hawk was flying. The quality of the image is bad, but if it were possible to make a silhouette from it, it could have been an interesting image IMO. The question is how to make a silhouette? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 18:04, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not a Photoshop expert, but with Gimp I'd use the curves tool to increase contrast until I have a black bird against white sky. It's fairly simple. I can give it a try if you give me the picture. --Dschwen (talk) 18:30, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Dschwen-Bot

Hallo Dschwen!

Ich hatte 3 Gänseblümchenbilder mit GPS-Daten in den EXIF's hochgeladen (A, B, C) und beim Hochladen manuell eine Geocodierung in die Bildbeschreibung eingefügt. Dein Bot hat nun allerdings dasselbe getan, sodass jetzt 2 Mal dieselben Geodaten in der Beschreibung stehen. Wäre es nicht eine Idee den Bot die Prüfung, ob schon eine Geocodierung existiert und diese mit GPS-Daten konsistent ist, beizubringen? Und soll ich jetzt eine der beiden Kodierungen rausnehmen? Grüße, Grand-Duc (talk) 11:48, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Die frage hatten wir doch schonmal. {{Object location}} und {{Location}} sind zwei paar Schuhe. Prioritaet hat auf commons das Location template, welches die Kamerakoordinaten kodiert.

Hallo Daniel, mir ist gerade ein Bild aufgefallen, welches mit Sicherheit eine Urheberrechtsverletzung darstellt. Es handelt sich um dieses Bild

File:St Jakob Deferegg.JPG

aus dem Kompass Wanderführer St. Jakob im Defereggental. Der Fotograf des Bildes ist vor einigen Jahren gestorben, so dass es auf keinem Fall ein "Eigenes Werk" sein und als Lizenz PD haben kann. Was ist hier zu tun? Vielen Dank --Itti (talk) 19:52, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Daniel, I uploaded the files with the intention of being useful. After 6 months I see that none are used in WP projects. I agree with deletion. The descriptions are mostly in images and in Turkish. I guess that is insufficient for many international users and too specific for tr:Wp Thanks for informing me.

--Nevit Dilmen (talk) 19:26, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

New bot?

Hi Daniel, I know that you are good at writing bots.

A new bot categorizing pictures by EXIF Metadata would be appreciated. The parameters I think might be useful are:

• Camera manufacturer
• Camera model
• Exposure time
• F Number
• Exposure bias
• ISO speed rating
• Date
• Time of the day
• Lens focal length
• Exposure Program
• Exposure mode
• Metering mode
• Flash
• White balance
• Digital zoom ratio

--Nevit Dilmen (talk) 21:54, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Mh, yeah, it would be even better if that functionality would be built in into mediawiki :-). Some of those potential categories would be pretty huge (like flash, whitebalance, ISO speed). I already worked on a bot for Camera Model catrgorization, but ended up using it only for my own pictures :-). The subtle problem with that is that such categories are already existing and they do not map 1:1 to the way the models are named in the EXIF. Another problem would be the accuracy or time zones of the camera clocks. I keep mine on UTC (but it is off by about 10mins still), so it would be impossible to determine Time of the day, as it depends on the longitude I'm at. The bot would have to categorize about 5 Million images. This would take a loooong time. All in all I think it would be more feasible to build a toolserver application with a query interface for the EXIF matedata. --Dschwen (talk) 22:35, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

TU for response. Yes I see it is a huge task. Toolserver seems to be the best solution.

Regarding time of the day, it might or might need not correct for a universal time, depending on the aim. The aim might be as simple as to find shots taken at morning, or those shot at noon. But that might also need to know the sunrise, sunset for the location.

--Nevit Dilmen (talk) 23:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that I have no way of finding of which timezone a particular camera is set to. If a picture is geocoded I can determine the local timezone, but that is not sufficient as the two may not be the same (for example many people do not adjust their camera clock when traveling). So even finding which shots are taken in teh morning or evening will be very hard if not impossible without human intervention. --Dschwen (talk) 01:01, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Flag of the United States

Could you please revert it back to the November 2009 version, the current colors have no legal standing, it's based on some non-binding, non-legal, non-authoritative document, using a textile based color standard that's no-way applicable to RGB in any way, shape, or form, which current conversions are based on one person's self research, and then selected for no apparent reason other then the lack of objection on the talk page, even though the pantone colors are specified directly in Texas Law As being the legal colors of the United States Flag, which surely trumps this document, Thanks. --Thegunkid (talk) 01:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

bot incorrect gps location

hello Dschwen,

The bot made a mistake and added incorrectly the gps location of the image (the image in not located in Greece). I removed the location info from the image manually. Ggia (talk) 12:03, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

forget this note.. the bot added a new gps location that seems to be correct.. greetings Ggia (talk) 12:06, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Geocoding Bot

I discovered you bot (DschwenBot) today because he include the location in one of my photos (that to be exactly) and i'm wondering... The bot cam put the geocoding in all my latest photos? They are all in one category and have beem taked with same camera, so I believe that the bot will find no problems in do that.

Can you do that, please??

Best regards, Béria Lima ^Msg 20:44, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey Beria, the bot has been running for months now and should have geocoded every picture. But recent outages might have caused it to skip images. I'm instructing the bot now to take another look at the last two months of uploads. --Dschwen (talk) 21:23, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. Béria Lima ^Msg 21:40, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the bot does not discover the locations of pictures. It merely reads the coordinates in EXIF and converts them to Wiki coordinates. Your iPhone 3G has Autogeotagging but your Canon PowerShot G7 does not, so it produces pictures without coordinates. You must geocode your photos manually, before uploading or after. Jim.henderson (talk) 21:46, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Merde! Why buy a camera if your cell phone is better in times like that. :P Thanks for explanation Jim Henderson. Béria Lima ^Msg 22:28, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

That's why I bought a en:Nikon Coolpix P6000 with built in GPS a year and a half ago. As one of the early GPS cameras it doesn't provide locations as reliably as a modern cell phone but it sometimes makes prettier pictures, and when it misses the location I find coordinates manually. I never intend to buy another camera for myself that doesn't do geotagging. Jim.henderson (talk) 11:12, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

The geocoding bot is working nicely (pleasant that it ran twice the other day) but the most recent photos including File:Sylvan Terrace Jumel HD jeh.jpg (manually tagged online) and File:Sohmer Piano fr RI jeh.jpg (bot coded) do not show me any roundels in Google Earth or Google Maps.

Quality images candidates

Stitching

What program(s) do you use for stitching? --The High Fin Sperm Whale 04:20, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello Whale! I use hugin for stitching (with enblend and/or enfuse for blending). There are a couple of "tricks" that I found important to get goos results: use vertical guides in panoramas with buildings, use horizontal guides when applicable (view of the ocean where you have a sharp horizon line would be such a case), use the finetune all menu option and throw out all keypoint pairs that cannot be automatically optimized, manually add keypoints to get even coverage of all frames (there are exceptions to that). Familiarize yourself with enfuse, it is a great tool as well. It is harder to get an up to date hugin version for windows than it id for Linux (not a problem fer me, as I use Linux only :-) ). I won't lie to you the learning curve is a bit steep, but the userinterface was improved a lot in recent versions. I absolutely love hugin. Once you master it it allows you to obtain perfect results. --Dschwen (talk) 19:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! --The High Fin Sperm Whale 21:40, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

It should be possible to calculate an edit-style feature-vector for every contributor (histogram of added bytes per edit, how many typo corrections, how many new typos(dictionary), amount of punctuation in relation to added text, namespace statistics, upload statistics), or to obtain edit-time correlations between editors, amount of page overlaps in edits (in particular discussion pages) etc. A very interesting project, for which I unfortunately do not have the time :-). --Dschwen (talk) 21:27, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Panoramic viewer

Lieber Daniel, vielen Dank, dass du uns den Panoramaviewer und den large image viewer zur Verfügung stellst. Ich habe soeben mein erstes volles Panorama hochgeladen und festgestellt, dass der Panoramaviewer leider nicht in der Lage ist, Panoramen in voller Auflösung darzustellen. Das macht es beispielsweise für QualityImage-Evaluatoren schwierig, diese Bilder zu beurteilen. Ich denke, die Zeit ist reif für einen besseren Panoramaviewer, der Bildbetrachter auf Flashbasis wirkt sehr gut. Wäre es möglich, die beiden Tools irgendwie miteinander zu verschmelzen? Leider bin ich in dieser Domäne nicht in der Lage, was konstruktives beizutragen. --Ikiwaner (talk) 13:13, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Nein. Man kann sie nicht verschmelzen. Ich habe schon verschiedene Panoviewer getestet und noch keine befriedigende alternative gefunden. Der Panoramaviewer kann sehr wohl Panoramen in voller Aufloesung anzeigen, nur musst Du dazu die maximale Heapgroesse deiner Java Installation hochsetzen. --Dschwen (talk) 14:18, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Dschwen! Zunächst einmal vielen Dank für deine fleißigen Bots. Ein Vorschlag: Wenn der letzte Abschnitt auf einer Benutzerdiskussionsseite schon „Quality Image Promotion“ (aut idem) heißt, braucht der Bot doch eigentlich keinen neuen Abschnitt erstellen. Er ergänzt ja nur den Hinweis auf das Bild, ohne zu unterschreiben oder ein Datum zu setzen. Dies ist zumindest das Verfahren, das ich zur Übersichtlichkeit meiner Seite zurzeit mache. Übersehe ich einen Nachteil? Sollte auch keine allzu komplexe Überarbeitung sein, so wie ich das beurteilen kann. Grüße, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:23, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

false camera location, why?

Hello Dschwen, File:Horssen (Druten) Rijksmonument 22640 Roedensestraat 10.JPG had a false cameralocation, I took a new picture, File:Horssen (Druten) Rijksmonument 22640 Roedensestraat 10 (2).JPG and now the correct cameralocation comes. I thought you liked to know this irregularity. Is it from camera failure, is it from my way of camera handling, or is it from your marvelous bot.

DschwenBot: untag not so large ones

Hallo Dschwen, ich find die automatische Entfernung von LargeImage durch den Bot nicht so toll. Es gibt sicher zahlreiche Dateien auch unter 50 MPixel, bei denen die LargeImage-Vorlage Sinn macht. Zum Bsp bei dieser Karte ...da nervt es doch ziemlich, sich das im Browser ohne gescheite Zoom-Funktion anzutun. Gerade bei solch großen Karten ist der Flash-Viewer sehr hilfreich. Also: kannst Du die Grenze vlt auf 25 MPixel runter setzen, oder das automatische Entfernen ganz weglassen? --Alexrk2 (talk) 14:45, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Hm. Ich koennte zusaetzlich zur MP Zahl noch checken ob entweder hoehe oder breite ueber einem Schwellwert liegen. Damit wuerde man auch schlauchfoermige Bilder erfassen, bei denen man viel scrollen muss. Wie hoert sich das an? --Dschwen (talk) 18:33, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Weiß nicht. Es geht ja eigentlich nur darum, offensichtliche Nicht-Large-Bilder aus der Kategorie rauszuschmeißen. Oder? Also würde ich eigentlich alle Bilder wo entweder Höhe oder Breite >3000 Pixel ist, ruhig stehen lassen. Also quasi den Usern etwas Spielraum geben, wo sie die Vorlage bei Bedarf selbst einsetzen können/wollen. --Alexrk2 (talk) 20:14, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

LargeImage tool

Dear dschwen,

Does your tool keeps a kind of cashe when loading an image? I try to view the latest updated image.. but your tools show me the first version of my image, link to the image with your tool: [5].

I tried refreshing my browser.. I also tried to use your tool + image using another browser but the same old version photo appears.

I enjoy a lot your tools (geotagging, LargeImage). Best regards,

Ggia (talk) 00:01, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it does keep a cached version of the image. I haven't come up with a better solution yet, but I'll think about it. I hope I can easily get the modification date of the image on commons, then I could update the cached copy automatically. Let me see what I can do. --Dschwen (talk) 01:30, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

thanks for the quick answer! Ggia (talk) 01:49, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

EXIF and artwork

Hi Dschwen,

your bot adds the EXIF data in location template normally under the information template. Very nice and thanka a lot for your work :-)

Could you do the same thing for the artwork template too pls? See this edit from today to see how it looks now. Thanks in advance. Raymond 13:11, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok, if the bot does not find an Information template it now looks for an Artwork template instead. (there are still case-sensitivity issues I need to sort out though) --Dschwen (talk) 14:15, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Wonderful. Thanks again :) Raymond 14:44, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

GPS-data not to be put by bot

Hello Dschwen, can you order your bot not to put GPS-dates to File:AduC 030 Lameth (A.T.V., comte de, 1760-1829).JPG. This file, taken inside, has the GPS-dates from an earlier picture, far away from that location. And the image itselves has nothing to do with any location. I took care to use the GPS off option for such pictures, forgot this one and may-be one or two more. Greetings. --Havang(nl) (talk) 12:49, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Panoramabetrachter

Hallo Dschwen, ich hoffe Du bist der richtige Ansprechpartner bezüglich {{Pano360}}. Mir ist eine Kleinigkeit aufgefallen. Bei dieser Datei File:Bad Münstereifel Rathausplatz Panorama 13.jpg wird (bei mir) nicht die neueste Version (13:50, 22. Apr. 2009) im Panoramabetrachter verwendet sondern die alte (10:15, 20. Apr. 2009). Erkennbar an dem doppelten Torbogen an dem weiß/roten Haus. Ist weder wichtig noch dringend, aber ich dachte ich gebe mal Bescheid.

question

Hi Daniel, could you please tell me what I have done wrong here? It was not me, who promoted File:KyotoTomb.JPG, but somehow it got my signature. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 17:51, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Somebody must have had Javascript deactvated, and his signature got saved as the literal four tildes. When you edited the page the four tildes were replaced with your signature. Can happen sometimes, signatures on the QIC page only work with a script workaround that I installed a year or two ago. --Dschwen (talk) 14:23, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Obwohl wenn ich mir nochmals meine Einzelbilder ansehe sind die Aufnahmen nicht so schlecht, aber irgendwie wirken sie im Stitiching etwas matschiger oder meine ich das nur? --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:53, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Da ent(ver)zerrt wird, ist die Schärfe immer schlechter als bei den Originalen. Ohne Verzerrungen gehts leider nicht. --Ralf Roletschek (talk) 21:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Kommt natuerlich auf die Ausgabeaufloesung an. Wenn man die so anpasst, dass die maximale Flaeche jedes projezierten Pixel <= der Flaeche der Originalpixel wird, dann sollte es nicht unschaerfer werden. Ansonsten upsampled man das Bild, was ohnehin nicht sinnvoll ist. --Dschwen (talk) 23:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dschwen,

I can see my contributed photo participated for Quality image candidate under my User's page, but I cannot see the photo is displyed in Commons:Quality images candidates from my computer screen at this stage. There have been discussions since I uploaded the image to Commons:Quality images candidates on 03/11/2010. Would you be able to check that at your end? Donaldytong (talk) 23:42, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

The image is still in review. It will appear on Commons:Quality images candidates once a final verdict has been reached (if it is positive). --Dschwen (talk) 02:57, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

please talk to me before you delete photos

Hi there, i noticed you deleted one of my photos, please talk to me if there are any problems. thanks Mdupont (talk) 18:10, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

I didn't just delete one, I deleted a whole bunch of them (about 400-500). Please take a look at COM:PS. The images I deleted were so utterly out of scope and unusable that it warranted deletion on the spot. Please realize that you are creating unnecessary work for administrators by mindlessly dumping the contents of your memory card into commons. The burden is on you to select suitable pictures for uploading, and to supply descriptions and categories. --Dschwen (talk) 18:19, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I will put them first on archive.org for selection and the move them to commons when they meet the criteria. aout the PS: ""Where a subject is rare and/or difficult to capture, even a poor quality file may be of significant educational value, especially if Commons has very few or no similar files already."" we have almost no coverage of Kosovo on commons, and we need to start somewhere. We will have to delete photos, I agree. sorry to waste your time, please give me more time to sort these out, I can only do so much per day. Mdupont (talk) 21:59, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't even complaining about the technical quality of the images. The only cases where I deleted images for quality reasons were shots that were essentially duplicates of other shots (shutter pressed twice on the exact same subject). The stuff that remains could be useful if the descriptions were fixed and geotagged. Go ahead, do your thing ;-) --Dschwen (talk) 22:40, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi. You just deleted the File:ഓന്ത്.jpg from commons as per deletion request at Commons:Deletion_requests/File:ഓന്ത്.jpg.

Can you please undelete this file? Thanks. --Sreejith K (talk) 18:32, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Sure, done. The other admin did not properly close the deletion request, leading me to believe it had not been processed. Sorry about that. --Dschwen (talk) 18:45, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Layoutfrage

Hallo Dschwen!

Hast Du vielleicht eine Idee, wie man ein Inhaltsverzeichnis auf der linken Seite (der eigenen Benutzerseite) erzwingen kann? Das mir aus DE-WP bekannte __FORCETOC__ scheint hier nicht zu funktionieren, und das, was ich mir mal als Vorlage gebastelt habe, ist auch nicht so zufriedenstellend, weil nicht ausreichend am Rand positioniert. Wie kann ich das Ziel eines am linken Seitenrand befindlichen Inhaltsverzeichnis erreichen, kannst Du helfen? Ach so, eine Sache fällt mir noch ein: kann man hier auf Commons irgendwo verfügbare individualisierte Monobookscripte à la PDD-Monobook anschauen? Ich hätte zu gerne die Markadmin-Funktionalität... :-) Grüße und ein schönes Weihnachtsfest, Grand-Duc (talk) 22:54, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

So, TOC ist gefixed (ich hab das template auch angepasst, das kannst Du also wieder auf Deine Benutzerseite nehmen. Was sind denn Monobookscripte? Ist das so was aehnliches wie Vectorscripte? ;-) Alles was sich auf commons m.Mn. zur Einbindung lohnt wird als Gadget zur verfuegung gestellt (einfach in die Einstellungen schauen). --Dschwen (talk) 23:05, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

South Wharf & Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.jpg

Hi Dschwen, I saw your comments in my QI candidate page. I did sharpen the image in my second uploading, but not fully understand "downsampling" mean here after reading your downsampling page. Do I need a special software to do that? Also I do not think my current Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 has a "denoise" function. Could you let me know your further guideline to improve my image ? Thanks in advance Donaldytong (talk) 16:40, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

To not downsample your image you do not need a special software. In fact you don't need any software at all ;-). Forget about denoising and sharpening. If you are not using advanced techniques like masking then they will not yield an improvement. --Dschwen (talk) 17:52, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

You should look at improving the process of taking your picture rather than fiddling around with it later. In this particular case I suggest stopping down. Use an aperture of f/8 or higher (f/11). This will improve sharpness of the image. You could also try exposure bracketing (taking a series of images with different exposure times), and the exposure blending (using hugin and enfuse for example - see google). Make sure your tripod is sturdy and use a timer to minimize the vibration from pushing the shutter release. --Dschwen (talk) 17:58, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Dschwen for your advice. Eventually I fully realized why my image is not sharp because of incorrect exposure. It is exactly as your comments said. For example, I should use ISO = 125 or 160, f = 5.6 or 8 or 11 as you suggested and shutter speed should be more than ¼ seconds or even longer to 1 second. I will take another try if I have the chance to go the place there next time. By the way, can I upload a new version of this file and then participate for QI candidate again? Shall I have to upload a different name file (same place and subject) because this attempt of QI has been declined? My last question is my another QI candidate was declined. The reason of decline is because of CA and strong halos from sharpening. I think this is most likely in the image post processing by the software. If I take a correction to eliminate CA and halos, can I use the same file, at a corrected version to participate QI candidate again? You might see I am doing my best to make you trouble. Thanks in advance Donaldytong (talk) 09:33, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, just upload over the old version and renominate (you should mention what you fixed since the last nom). --Dschwen (talk) 15:40, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Kickboxen

Du hast Veto eingelegt... Um es mal klar zu sagen, mir liegt nichts an irgendwelchen Auszeichnungen. Ich finde aber, daß die Einschätzung des Bildes genau das Problem darstellt, was Laienmeinungen betrifft. Es ist unscharf, ohne Frage. Aber das ist Absicht. Ich meine, die Unschärfe macht das Bild interessant, völig scharf wäre es einfach eingefroren. Technisch machbar, das hatte ich aber nicht geplant. Der Tritt gegen den Kopf war schnell, das Bild soll zeigen, daß der Gegner getroffen ist. Der Kopf des Angreifers war relativ still, er ist scharf. Ich habe erwartet, daß der Unterschied Unschärfe und Bewegungsunschärfe nicht erkannt werden, daß genau das bemängelt wird. Und genau da sehe ich das "Problem" der Beurteilung auf Commons. --Ralf Roletschek (talk) 18:37, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Also, vorneweg erstmal: Es ist mir voellig wuescht ob dir etwas an "Auszeichnungen" liegt. So. Da hastes. QI ist keine Auszeichnung, QI ist der Versuch einer Qualitaetssicherung. Commons muss mit den Mitarbeiten klar kommen, die wir hier haben, und du bist herzlich eingeladen deien Meinung bei der Bildbeurteilung beizutragen (siehe unten). Ein Bild rauszupicken, das bei QI falsch eingeschaetzt wird ist sehr leicht. Ich wuerde sagen bis zu 10% der Voten haben gewisse Maengel. Das liegt am Prozess. Das Gewicht liegt darauf einen hohen Durchsatz zu haben um moeglichst viele gute Bilder zu Finden die den Kleks bekommen. Wenn ein paar gute durchfallen ist das Pech, aber kein Weltuntergang. Auf die Gefahr hin mich zu wiederholen, wir verleihen hier kein Bundesverdienstkreuz am Band. Eine gewisse Fehlerquote ist m.M.n. voellig akzeptabel, und sollte nicht zum Anlass genommen werden das Projekt zu verdammen.

So, noch etwas zur Mitarbeit. Ich weiss, das bei Dir eine Sprachbarriere besteht. Ich arbeite gerade an einem automatischen Uebersetzungs Gadget fuer commons, welches hoffendlich die Mitarbeit in Zukunft erleichtern wird. --Dschwen (talk) 19:16, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

QI-Frage

Hallo Dschwen!

Mir ist eben bei den FPC ein Bild aufgefallen, das bereits als VI und QI ausgezeichnet ist: File:Emperor-Dragonfly-(5).jpg. Ich kann nicht so recht die Auszeichnung als QI verstehen, denn es verletzt in meinen Augen durch das Herunterskalieren und das vermutlich starke Entrauschen (ISO 1000 und 50D passen nicht gut zusammen) die Richtlinien für Qualitätsbilder. Auf COM:QIC habe ich keine Möglichkeit gefunden, eine QI-Auszeichnung per Wahl auf wieder aberkennen zu lassen. Gibt es eine entsprechende Vorgehensweise, die Du mir erklären könntest? Grüße, Grand-Duc (talk) 15:06, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Wieso, es hat 5 Megapixel, und das Rauschen ist nicht so arg stark. Ich halte das jetzt nicht fuer eine derartige Fehlentscheidung, als dass man da einen Abwahlprozess fuer erfinden muesste ;-). Ganz im Ernst mal, ich weiss auch nicht ob es schonmal eine formelle Abwahl gab. Das koennte man natuerlich mal zur Diskussion stellen, ich fuerchte aber, dass das nuer ne ganz ueble Buechse aufmachen wuerde. Less es uns doch simpel halten, bis wirklich eine ganz krasse Fehlentscheidung passiert. Mein Vorschlag waere dann gegebenenfalls dass Bild im Consensual Review Abschnitt einzustellen. --Dschwen (talk) 15:33, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Substitution

G'day. I was hoping you could replace: [[User:Noodle snacks|Noodle snacks]] (http://www.noodlesnacks.com/) with [[User:JJ Harrison|JJ Harrison]] (http://www.noodlesnacks.com/) when you have time (no rush). JJ Harrison (talk) 20:16, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey JJ, I already noticed your user rename. I presume you are talking about image pages only? Discussion and project pages would probably increase the amount of necessary edits a lot. --Dschwen (talk) 20:29, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Wenn man meine Edit als IP verfolgt dann erkannt man sehr schnell, dass es sich um zwei IP-Ranges handelt und der Kandidat wurde von einer ganz anderen eingestellt. 87.176.214.222 ist ein alter Stalker, dem ich mal den Namen Muffelfuß gab und der sich daraufhin auch selbst so genannt hat (http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?limit=50&tagfilter=&title=Spezial%3ABeitr%C3%A4ge&contribs=user&target=Muffelfu%C3%9F&namespace=&tagfilter=&year=&month=-1], [6]).

I don't have experience doing image restorations. Have you managed to upload it? How did you document the permission to release it under a free license? Has an ORTS mail been sent? --Dschwen (talk) 20:44, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

It's uploaded and thanks for putting in better version. Yeah, the OTRS should be all squared away. I have done that a few times and gotten pretty tight on my emails to nail it down, and the fellow mailed back a very professional and explicit (quoting the licence) acknowlegement. We are clear there.TCO (talk) 21:01, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

If you think it's artistically worthy and helps project to be a FP, then maybe there is some restorer who you know that can help. Otherwise at least we have the full size. I just can't learn restoration and do the work to do that. It was like rolling a boulder to even upload the image. Sorry, I am just incapacitated and need to ask others for help. It is no big deal if we don't get an award. Just thought it was the sort of thing that people would love.TCO (talk) 21:01, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

With best regards, --George Chernilevsky ^talk 14:30, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes. Either the pywikipedia bot framework had a sudden API change or the bot hit an special case it never encountered before (involving redirect pages). Investigating. You can help by reverting all of the the VICbot changes. --Dschwen (talk) 14:33, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi,

was muss ich machen, wenn ich meine QI in diese sogenannten verstecken Kategorien packen will? Viele Grüße --Wladyslaw (talk) 11:29, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Glaube ich habe es herausgefunden, kannst aber mal drüber schauen, ob es richtig ist. --Wladyslaw (talk) 11:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Welche meinst Du denn? Hast Du mal ein Beispiel? --Dschwen (talk) 15:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC) P.S.: Ötlingen Bild gefaellt mir sehr gut. Muss ich noch mal eine pro stimme hinterlassen.

Meine eigene Category:Quality images by Taxiarchos228. Scheint soweit geklappt zu haben. Allerdings steht ich in dieser Liste Category:Quality images by user noch mit 0 Bildern drin. Braucht das einen Tageslauf, bis der Bot mich erfasst hat? Noch eine Frage: das Kategorisieren von gewählten QI muss man eigenhändig vornehmen, oder? Der Bot hat nämlich die heute gewählten Bilder nicht in Quality images by Taxiarchos228 einsortiert obwohl es zu dem Zeitpunkt schon bestand. --Wladyslaw (talk) 16:19, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Der bot kennt die by User Kategorien nicht (eine andere Geschichte ist, dass die Namen der Kategorien dringend mal standardisiert werden muessten. Ich plaediere ja fuer ... Images by User:... um onwiki user von anderen Autoren unterscheiden zu koennen), Ich habe fuer meine Bilder einen eigenen bot, den ich periodisch laufen lasse. Wenn Du die Kategorie manuell zu Deinen Bildern hinzufuegst kann es in der Tat dauern, bis die job queue von Mediawiki die Zaehler auf den neusten Stand bringt. --Dschwen (talk) 16:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Verstehe ich nicht: was hat die Vorlage {{PAGESINCAT:Quality images by User:XY}} damit zu tun, dass ich die Kategorie Quality images by User:XY von Hand fülle anstatt von einem Bot? Bedeutet das im Umkehrschluss, dass wenn ich es von Hand kategorisiere die Funktion PAGESINCAT nicht nutzen kann? Erscheint mir unlogisch. --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:04, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Na ja, hast ja bestimmt auf KEB gelesen, dass ich eh immer nur unschluessiges Zeug labere. Bot oder manuell macht keinen Unterschied bzgl. der Wartezeit. Ich war mir nur nicht sicher, ob Du schon manuell Deine Kategorien hinzugefuegt hast, oder ob Du bisher nur auf den Bot gewartet hast (der das ja eben nicht macht -> 0 Bilder in Kategorie). PAGESINCAT kannst Du natuerlich in jedem Fall nutzen. --Dschwen (talk) 16:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Aber ein Botlauf von mindestens einmal täglich wäre nicht so verkehrt, immerhin tut sich ja bei QI einiges. Ich habe mich bereits gestern gegen 12 Uhr MEZ eingepflegt [7], aber bisher hat der Bot nichts aktualisiert. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

PAGESINCAT wird nicht durch einen bot aktualisiert, sondern durch die MediaWiki Software selbst. Anscheinend ist die interne job warteschlange sehr voll zur Zeit. Wundert mich auch ein bisschen. (mein privater bot fuegt nur die Quality Images by User:Dschwen kategorie zu meinen eingenen Bildern hinzu) --Dschwen 16:22, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Graz

Hi,

ich habe dir mal die RAW-Dateien des Uhrenturms hochgeladen. Wenn du möchtest kannst du Dich daran versuchen. Ich habe fürs HDR übrigens nur zwei der drei Bilder verwendet und zwar die beiden helleren; allerdings sie noch am Helligkeitsregler justiert. Hoffe du kannst die Nikon-RAW-Dateien lesen, falls nicht, kann ich sie auch in JPG verwandeln; ist dann auch deutlich weniger Datenmenge.

Du warst doch damals bei diesem Bild File:Toronto - ON - Schaft des CN Tower.jpg auch bei der Findung des Phänomens beteiligt, wenn ich mich recht erinnere. Derzeit wird bei der fpc-Kandidatur auf en.wikipedia bezweifelt, dass es sich tatsächlich um den Tyndall-Effekt handeln würde. [12]. Vielleicht magst du dich dazu dort äußern. Grüße --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Daniel!
We are about to embark upon our image upload and Tris brought up a couple of images that she thought you still had to upload. I reminded her to touch base with you about the background/caption for the images. The main one she's interested in having uploaded is the Zuni mask helmet. She should be in touch with you soon regarding information on this. Let me know if you are very busy and won't be able to upload it. I know you're very much in the throes of fatherhood!

QICbot

Hi, I understand you are the person who takes care of QICbot. I have two things I would like to discuss with you and I am aware someone surely already asked you before bu I'll try. First, could the bot sign or stamp the date of promotion on discussion pages when it signals a promotion? This way it would be easyer to know when images were promoted. Secondly, could the bot add promoted images in the category [[Quality images by User]] automaticaly if it exists. This way the model counting quality images on people's page would be updated easily. Thanks a lot, Letartean (talk) 17:23, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I could make it sign contributions (isn't that a little uncommon for bots though?). No to your second question. until the Quality images by User categories is cleaned up that would be an impossible task. Let me rephrase it. The categories are a F**ing mess right now. There is no naming standard. This is just awful, we have:

• category:Quality images by User:Berthold Werner (User:Berthold Werner) username with user: prefix
• category:Quality images by Avenue (User:Avenue) username without user: prefix
• category:Quality images by Andrew Butko (User:Butko) realname
• category:Quality Images by Der Wolf im Wald (User:Der Wolf im Wald) capitalization variants
• category:Quality Images taken by Simon Koopmann (User:Simonizer) slight difference in wording
• category:User:Böhringer - Quality images Gallery (User:Böhringer) complete mess

Do you see the pattern? Right, there is none!!!!!!!!! I will not touch this stinking pile of crap until we finally settle on a standard and get it cleaned up. --Dschwen (talk) 18:04, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. Well for the first point, it could only be to put the date in title of the created section like ==Quality image promotion for [[date]]== because you ar right that a signing bot would be weird. For the second question, I'll say I'm not familliar with bot programming but couldn't you impose the category naming by doing the following:

1) add a if command to the bot like if category [[category:Quality images by nameofuser]] exists then add image to that category.

2) State clearly on the bot's page that it will only do it if the category has the form you've chosen.

This way, people would have to change their category name by their self and the bot would do it only if the category has a name pattern that you can predict. It's just a suggestion but I feel like a bot when I go and add my pictures to the category by myself... Thanks for your help and continue your good work! Letartean (talk) 18:17, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

I would choose the format Quality images by User:Username. Ok, let me think about it. I'm pretty busy IRL right now. --Dschwen (talk) 20:44, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

VIC - Fehler

Moin, immer, wenn man bei den VIC eine neue Kandidatur hinzufügen möchte (image, nicht set), erscheint da, obwohl man alles richtig macht und das "prefix" dringelassen hat, die Fehlermeldung "Please keep the 'Commons:Valued_image_candidates/' prefix." Dieser Fehler tritt nicht nur bei mir auf, könnte evtl. ein Fehler in deiner MediaWiki:VICValidate.js sein. Grüße, -- Felix König ✉ 18:34, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Dschwen, There is still an issue with the VIC nomination templates I fear. The code generated when pushing the button "Create new image nomination" seems incomplete; it gives "<includeonly>{{VIC-thumb</includeonly> |subpage={{subst:SUBPAGENAME}}|image={{subst:SUBPAGENAME}}", and the page can't be properly displayed. Here is an example. However, the VIC appears correct on Commons:Valued image candidates when added to the list, but it its no more the case when one tries to edit it in order to review it. Missing code :
<noinclude>=== File:filename.jpg === {{VIC
example. Would you have an idea to fix the issue? --Myrabella (talk) 16:41, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I think I fixed it. Took me a little while to remember what we were doing there (intentionally breaking tags that heal themselves after one parser iteration... freaky stuff). --Dschwen (talk) 17:13, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Almost :-) Now there is "VIC-nom-preload" written instead of the filename on the VIC nomination page, see this new example. --Myrabella (talk) 17:31, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh, thanks, I missed that. Fixed now. --Dschwen (talk) 18:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

All fine now. Thank you very muck. --Myrabella (talk) 18:15, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

FPC

Hi Daniel,

sorry to bother so many people at same time, but what do you think about reverting Tomas' changes on FPC and block page from being writed, while we settle the rules of 50 edits thing ? We can't afford to have rules changing forth and back every 12 hours.

Thanks. - Benh (talk) 18:57, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Why did you

protect FPC? All the edit links are gone making it much more difficult for contributors to cast a vote. W.S. 13:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

One single editor has been edit warring about the FPC rules. Hm, I made sure not to cascade protect. A pity the edit links still don't show up for non-admins. unblocked the page. --Dschwen (talk) 14:08, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. W.S. 14:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

A solution could be to make FPC rules a _protected_ subpage and to include it on FPC page. Hopefully I'll work on that asap. - Benh (talk) 14:48, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. --Dschwen (talk) 17:51, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

String comparison

Hi Dschwen, Regarding this edit. I'm well aware of the ugliness of string comparsion in defined checking. However I did not / do not know whether this particular variable is globally available by being attached to the window object. Reason being the "var" statement for the QIVoter object (which may or may not be globally available either, depending on whether or not it's loaded as a seperate request without a wrappper function). When resources are combined the global namespace can not be assummed (imho it should never be assumed, but especially with the resourceloader). A variable should either be defined local with the var statement or global by attaching it to the window object. Right now both QIvoter and QInominator are defined local, so checking in window seems wrong to me. Right now the script is loaded raw as a seperate request so it will work fine, but I'd recommend defining it globally rather than assuming it is.

Anyway, thanks for the quick responding and even more thanks for the scripts themselfs are they're very nice! The detection of cursor position and toolserver api request is nice as well. –Krinkle^talk 18:56, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Hm, good food for thought! I did not take the possibility of scope being wrapped in a function by the resource loader into account (that's what it would have to be, right?). I guess I should explicitly attach the objects to the window object in that case. --Dschwen (talk) 19:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

TCMI Image updates

Hi Daniel
You've likely noticed that I did a bit of updating on your TCMI images. Tris got me a good bit of information and I was also trying out the Artwork template and Institution template that I'll be using for the uploads beginning this week. The Artwork template was suggested by Jean-Fred and it includes a great many fields that are useful for the type of data I have for each image. If I messed anything up on any of your image pages, feel free to let me know.
You'll notice that I have new filename suggestions at the top of a few of the pages. These were decided on by the curators and mirror what I'll be using for the images coming directly from the museum. I don't know how to move the file, so thought I'd leave that to you.
One other question - did you happen to get a good image of the glass sculpture, "Fireworks of Glass" on your visit? I need a personal photo with express permission from the photographer in order to upload one as fair-use in Wikipedia for the new w:Fireworks of Glass article. I thought you'd be an easy enough person to ask. (When it comes to the tagging and copyright of fair-use, I've done that a good many times through w:WP:Public art, so you needn't worry about me uploading it in some inappropriate way. Thanks so much! HstryQT (talk) 20:11, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. As for the "Fireworks of Glass", I did not even bother taking a single picture of it. Didn't think of fair use. --Dschwen (talk) 20:44, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Laling fort coordinates on Wikiminiatlas

Hello,

Could you please have a look at the wikiminiatlas on the right hand side of this geohack page, displaying en:Laling fort on the Chad-Libya border, North of Lake Yoa, in Africa, although this fort is supposed to be located in India. To see the problem, you need to zoom out by clicking "-" once for viewing the Chad-Libya border together with Lake Yoa. Alternatively, you may use this link. I can't see anything wrong on the coodinate template at en:Laling fort, so I am afraid this is a bug of wikiminiatlas, or a bug in the toolserver's database refresh.

Geolocation of Image:Igrise - spomenik IMG 6210.jpg

Hello, Dschwen! There seems to be a problem with GPS tag of Image:Igrise - spomenik IMG 6210.jpg - namely, the bot didn't recognize that it has GPS information, although it was tagged with "GPS EXIF". I can always add GPS information by hand, but anyway, would you happen to know the reason for the failed attempt? --romanm (talk) 17:00, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for notifying me of that problem. I rely on user feedback like yours to keep the bot operating smoothly. I found a small bug that was triggered on a rare occasion (redirect page for a GPS tagged image). The bug is fixed and your image is now tagged. --Dschwen (talk) 22:07, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

You're welcome. Thank you for fixing it! --romanm (talk) 07:00, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Belated robotags

I was thinking of complaining that many of my pictures uploaded this week had not been geotagged despite having EXIF coordinates, thus making me retag them online. Now I see that ten of those have received hidden suggested locations from the bot. Better late than never; should I thank you for repairing something or was it merely a mysterious glitch? Jim.henderson (talk) 21:56, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, see the complaint above. The bot ran into an image redirect, which it could not properly handle yet. I thought i fixed that issue, but it was for another bot. So anyhow, now the bot can finish his runs. I might have to re-run it manually for images a few more days back, but other than that it should work now. --Dschwen (talk) 22:04, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Ah. I was reluctant to complain, fearing that my slapdash EXIF coding methods were at fault. The better of my cameras seldom actually writes a geotag in the city, and the other often writes inaccurate ones, and I use two different programs to write rough tags where none exist and refine the rough ones, and the whole messy system goes wrong often. So, it was just a matter of the bot getting stuck on a bad picture file without a statistical alarm to say, "Alert! Today we only wrote 200 instead of the usual 500 geotags!" or whatever. Anyway it's always pleasant when a glitch turns out to be not my fault, but it would have been fixed quicker if I had the courage to speak up. Jim.henderson (talk) 21:31, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Softwarehilfe erhofft

Hallo Dschwen!

Ich habe ein kleines Problem mit dem QInominator-Gadget, dass wie ich eben sah sogar von dir stammt. Durch Unerfahrenheit hatte ich heute Morgen bei der Nominierung eines QIC mittels Helferlein das Problem, dass noch keine neue Datumszeile da war und der Quelltext eher unübersichtlich ist, weswegen ich dann meine Nominierung lieber komplett manuell eingegeben habe ohne die Helferlein-Version abzuspeichern. Jetzt schleppe ich nur seitdem dieses eine Bild als "already nominated" mit mir herum, gibt es irgendwie eine Möglichkeit, dem Ding beizubringen, dass diese Nominierung von Hand eingegeben wurde? Helferlein deaktivieren und reaktivieren sowie Browsercache löschen blieben ohne Effekt. Grüße, Grand-Duc (talk) 20:48, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Du kannst den qinominator cookie loeschen mit dem sich das script die ausgewaehlten Bilder merkt. Aber warum stoert Dich das ueberhaupt? Und ausserdem sollte versuchtes Einfuegen der Nominierung auf COM:QIC den Cookie auch geloescht haben. Wunder. --Dschwen (talk) 20:57, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hallo Daniel,

ich nutze seit einigen Tagen dein QI-Tool. Tolle Sache: vereinfacht die Prozedur erheblich.

Hi. It looks as though VICbot is having troubles with two nominations over at VI candidates. Both "Nomocharis pardanthina, RBGE 2010, 2.jpg" and "Helichrysum ecklonis, RBGE 2010.jpg" were closed before some nominations which has since been dealt with by VICbot so I'm guessing there is some formatting to which the bot is sensitive. /Lokal_Profil 13:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Fixed by George Chernilevsky. Seems to be linked to the fact that --~~~~ gives a plain username link on e.g. the QI page but the normal signature (which in my case includes links to contributions and talk page) on the VI pages... which in turn stops the bot. /Lokal_Profil 13:12, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Apologies

I was copying some of my old pre-digital photographs with my iphone - and the bot has located the photos that I copied - from the iphone location - which has no relation whatsoever to the images - I will remember to turn off location when copying my old photos in future ... sigh SatuSuro (talk) 14:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC) IS there anyway I can stop the bot coming back to the images? SatuSuro (talk) 14:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC) OR do I need to delete, and re-photograph my originals from a camera that has no location/exif date loaded? SatuSuro (talk) 14:57, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

The bot should not come back after it has visited the image once. If it does that would be a bug. Do you have an example? --Dschwen (talk) 16:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

If that is the case I will simply remove the incorrect exif material - thank you for your reply - cheers SatuSuro 23:44, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MerapiSWslope80%27s.jpg I will have to remove all the images because the data is very wrong SatuSuro 12:41, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Leave the images. I'll fix it when I get to it. Give me a few days please. --Dschwen 12:47, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Bilder in <gallery> automatisch nummerieren?

Siehst du da eine Möglichkeit? Ich denke, das ist nicht vorgesehen, könnte man da etwas "programmieren"? Wenn du mir sagst, wo ich anzusetzen habe, würde ich das auch selbst mal versuchen. --Ralf Roletschek (talk) 18:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Das kann man recht einfach programmieren. Moechtest Du das fuer Deinen Eigenbedarf haben? Also moechtest nur Du die Nummern sehen? Oder moechtest Du, dass die Nummern beim Bearbeiten einer Galerie automatisch fuer alle sichtbar aktualisiert werden (etwas komplizierter)? Oder moechtest Du generell in einem Prokekt alle Galleriecaptions mit einer laufenden Nummer versehen? --Dschwen 05:15, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Ich habe mir verschiedenes an Möglichkeiten auf http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Ralf_Roletschek/Nummerierung zusammengetragen. Meine ursprüngliche Idee entsammte den Denkmallisten, da habe ich meine Fotos in Galerien "abgekippt", andere Benutzer haben sie dann in die entsprechenden Tabellen eingearbeitet, weil ich komplexe Tabellen eher kaputtmache als daß ich sie vervollständige. Nachdem "Zeile A, Spalte B" nicht funktionierte (klar), mußte ich durchbeschriften, selbst das war nicht immer eindeutig. Nun kommt noch ein dienstlicher Bedarf hinzu, also bin ich auf dem Weg, das irgendwie zu lösen. Sicher, das mit den References funktioniert halbwegs, ist aber nicht wirklich elegant und man benötigt die Fußnoten auch nicht. Das mit der CSS habe ich noch nicht probiert. Meine Wunschvorstellung wäre sowas wie eine Lösung über Anker: Irgendwo beliebig auf der Seite (und damit quasi Wiki-weit) verlinkt man auf etwas, was z.B. ein Bild in einer Galerie, in einer Tabelle oder aber auch ein Text (Zitat oder so) ist, das Linkziel wiederum wird nur durchnummeriert. Von der Funktion her ist das ja unser references, nur eben anders umgesetzt. Verstehst du, was ich meine? --Ralf Roletschek (talk) 09:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Script

You maintain a script to randomize galleries. Please take a look at this thread and help. Thanks, theMONO 03:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Fixed, I rewrote the shuffling routine. --Dschwen 05:10, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

I know you're busy but till next year you can think about the following problem: A user complained that when he returned in R1, the images were arranged in a new order. Therefore it would be nice to have a routine that shuffles the files dependent on wgUserName or saves the order in cookie. Lots of "random generators" accept arguments but not JavaScript.Math's one.

BTW do you have an idea how to ease the voting system next year. MediaWiki seems not the best platform for these purposes.

Bot stopped?

I noticed that none of the pictures I uploaded on April 30, May 1 and May 2 have been geotagged despite having EXIF tags. Has the bot quit working? Jim.henderson (talk) 21:32, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

It was operating again, but did not tag any of my pictures today or yesterday. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

It operated during the remainder of May but not today or yesterday. Jim.henderson (talk) 17:31, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, this is due to a software update on the toolserver. A crucial library my bot needs will only be available tomorrow. Nothing I can do about that. --Dschwen (talk) 21:03, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I hope it can be repaired soon. It is sorely missed. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:17, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

File:2002-issue Euro cent obverse.jpg

Hi Dschwen. I've collected a number of links regarding this issue at User:Hammersoft/coins. In short, there's no blanket free license that applies to Euro coins. To banknotes, there is. The {{Money-EU}} covers that, but it is inappropriate for coins. Please see the various discussions linked from my user subpage above. If you're aware of a definitive statement that this coin is in fact free of copyright, I'd be happy to hear it. --Hammersoft (talk) 01:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

As I said, you're welcome to open up a regular DR on this. A speedy tag has been removed from the image before, and the discussions I'm aware of are not clear cut. But if you are so sure you won't have any problems making a convincing argument at the deletion request. --Dschwen (talk) 03:28, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Looking at COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION on copyright protection of the common face design of the euro coins I have to conclude that your position is without any merit. Photographic reproduction is permitted. End of story. Before you start a big stink about "ways which do not damage or detract from the image of the euro", this image does not. Potential derivatives do not impact the legality of this image, just like potentially libelous edits do not impact the licensing status of portraits. --Dschwen (talk) 03:37, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

• Thank you for your belief that I would "start a big stink". Wow. Anyway, your decision here goes directly against Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Euro coin common face 2 and Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Euro coin common face. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:56, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Recent panos

Hey Dschwen (or should I call you Mr. Schwen, Dan, or Daniel?). Just wondering, you seem to have a mastery for stitching and Hugin so would you mind taking a look at my two recent panos (File:Cultus Lake Waterpark panorama.jpg and File:Harrison Lake pano.jpg) and tell what I did right, what I did wrong and give me any tips for my next project? Thanks in advance, --The High Fin Sperm Whale 22:45, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Dr. Schwen please! No, just kidding, whatever floats your boat. Give me about a week, I'm currently very busy IRL. It'll be better after friday. --Dschwen (talk) 14:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to intrude! Here is my quick assessement: Pic 1 (Cultus lake) has a nice composition but quality is on the poor side. It is too soft and the geometry in some parts looks weird. For example, vertical lines are not always vertical and the kids standing at left seem stretched. Pic 2 is worse. Colors are washed out by poor lighting conditions and there is at least an obvious stitching error: the line separarating the sea from the land, to the right of the white boat. There is another suspicious discontinuity near the centre but I'm not sure it is an error. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:16, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

As for the Cultus one, everything seemed odd in the photo but I couldn't tell what it was and was therefore not able to fix it. I think it is because of barrel distortion. As for number 2, it was rather hazy and I can't really help washed out colours. And as for that stitching error, I don't think it is an error but a rock formation. Hard to tell with something so small. And the other error is a rock formation as well. Echo island has a lot of cliffs and rocks jutting out, so at first I was confused when my photo did not have a straight waterline. Well, thank you for your input, as you can tell I'm still very much an amateur at this. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 16:23, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I submitted both to COM:PC if you're interested. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:57, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

Geo-extraction tool?

Hi, I have been greatly interested in using geotagged data from the commons database dumps, and came across your page. I see you have text which states "Sourcecode for geo-data extration from commons database dumps and readily extracted location data files can be found on my toolserver page", but unfortunately, the link is broken, and when I find your account on the toolserver page, I can't find links to these tools and data files. Are they still available?

Many thanks! -Alan

Hey Alan, my geodata extraction script is outdated. I get my coordinate data from en:User:Dispenser who performs the extractions and maintains a database with coordinates on the Wikimedia Toolserver. What are you thinking of doing with the data? --Dschwen (talk) 20:35, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Daniel, thanks for the information -- looks like what I'm looking for! I'm hoping to perform a basic spatial join to locate photos within a set distance of certain points of interest, and this looks like it should fit the bill. Many thanks!

I'm pretty sure that has already been done by User:Para. Look him up, he used to be very active and wrote a few applications to do this and similar things (all pictures facing a common location etc.). However his scripts are not easy to find. --Dschwen (talk) 15:28, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

LargeImage

Hi Dschwen,

Ages ago, didn't you tag a series of images with {{LargeImage}} ? You might want to do another run on images uploaded since.

You probably already excluded images with {{Pano360}}, even if, e.g. this has both (added manually). --  Docu  at 18:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I added it to Commons:Bots/Work_requests#.7B.7BLargeImage.7D.7D. --  Docu  at 05:17, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Bot is running. --Dschwen (talk) 21:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Don't you think it is useful here? Is there really the need to remove?...

Maybe we should include a link to these viewers into the standard links under each image - automatically added by javascript if a certain size (px or MB) is exceeded. These viewers are just plain useful - not really the warning (talking of the flag image). Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 01:25, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

There is a gadget for that. --Dschwen (talk) 01:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I dont think that the removing is a good idea. It is very usfull in maps ect. were the small details importent. Can you revert the removing? Geagea (talk) 02:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Which removing are you talking about? If you want to look at small details then click on "Full resolution". Small images should not be tagged with LargeImage. --Dschwen (talk) 03:19, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Please, Dschwen.... "a gadget" - think of our readers / visitors. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 03:11, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I'd be happy to push for making this a default feature. --Dschwen (talk) 03:19, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I'd support that. Especially after reading statistics on gadgets (Commons:Village_pump#User_preferences). BTW, thanks for doing a bot run. --  Docu  at 08:29, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I would support enabling the gadget by default if the gadget is improved more. I made a comment ad MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-ZoomViewer.js#does_not_work_currently.3F_.2Bchanged_appearance_in_test_code. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 22:06, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I also think, that the border for removing {{LargeImage}} was set up incorrectly. I started more frequently adding this template while using older browser on enterprise computer (and was not able to display full resolutoin) and now your bot removed some of them. For example this 17.6 MB map can cause trouble to older browser or computers. --Jklamo (talk) 19:24, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Sure, there will always be some person with a really old beater who will think that the limit is set too high. But that is pretty much irrelevant. It would be quite ridiculous to post this warning template on images if it only applies a fraction of a percent of our users. The better approach is to reevaluate the limit constantly and keep raising it, dropping computer systems older than about 10 years. The image you link to is a barely 17 Megapixels large (the file size of 17.68 is completely irrelevant). Most current consumer digital cameras out put images larger than this. Wouldn't it be quite the joke to tag every image upload from a current camera as Large, dangerous and potentially crashing your computer? --Dschwen (talk) 00:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

BTW, Category:Large images notes a size of 2000px as limit. Incidentally, the bot removed it from the image that prompted me to start this thread ( Commons:Help_desk/Archive/2011/06#Downloading a map ). --  Docu  at 03:25, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

EXIF-Daten des iPhone 4 und deren Umwandlung in Geo-Koordinaten: mal präzise, mal lausig

Hallo Dschwen! Zuerst einmal: Gratulation zu Deinen Fotos; da sind ganz prächtige und zu Recht auch ausgezeichnete dabei! Seit einiger Zeit bemerke ich, dass Dein Bot aus den EXIF-Daten meiner Fotos, die ich mit dem iPhone 4 geknipst habe, Geo-Koordinaten erstellt und in die Bildbeschreibung einfügt. Das ist ein praktisches Feature-Merci! Mir ist nun aufgefallen, dass die generierten Koordinaten den tatsächlichen Ort der Aufnahme manchmal ziemlich ungenau, manchmal aber auch sehr exakt beschreiben. Meine Frage dazu: muss ich einfach damit leben, dass die Software des iPhones die Daten mal genau und mal weniger genau «einfängt» oder gibt es eine andere Erklärung dafür? Hier einmal ein paar Beispiele:

Ziemlich daneben:

1)
Bonn statt Siegburg
Foto:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2011-07-01_Siegburg_Blutspendemobil.JPG?uselang=de

falsche Koordinate (Bonn-Beuel):

http://maps.google.de/maps?ll=50.745833,7.116667&spn=0.01,0.01&t=m&q=50.745833,7.116667

so wäre es ungefähr richtig (Siegburg, Europaplatz/vor dem Bahnhof):

http://maps.google.de/maps?ll=50.793833,7.2025&spn=0.02,0.02&t=m&q=50.793833,7.2025
50.793833°, 7.2025°


2)
Lahti statt Grenze FIN/RUS
Foto:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arctic_Cat_ATV_Finnish_Border_Guard_20100918.jpg

falsche Koordinate (Lahti):

{{Location|60|57.02|0|N|25|38.91|0|E|source:exif_heading:81.546751}}
60° 57′ 1.2″ N, 25° 38′ 54.6″ E

richtig wäre (nahe Virolahti):

60° 36' 22.71" N  27° 51' 13.36" E  


Gut getroffen:

Besten Dank im Voraus und Gruß über den Teich! --Sir James (talk) 09:07, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Hallo! Ich kann da nur einen educated guess abgeben. Vermutlich haellt das iPhone nicht permanent den GPS-Empfang aufrecht und wenn Du ein Foto direkt nach dem Einschalten/Aufwecken machst sind noch die Koordinaten vom letzten Satellitenkontakt in System. Bist Du z.B. im Fall Bonn-Siegburg gerade mit dem Zug gefahren? Ich denke man kann ausschliessen, dass die iPhone Software die Koordinaten ungenau ermittelt. GPS ist ein gut geloestes Problem, und fuer wenige Cents sollte man einen Receiver bekommen, der bis auf wenige Meter genau ist, sofern verbindung zu einer ausreichenden Anzahl von Satelliten hergestellt ist. Und das kann einige Minuten dauern, besonders nach einem Standortwechsel mit deaktiviertem Receivermodul. --Dschwen (talk) 14:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

de:Apple_iPhone#Positionsbestimmung: "Neben den GPS-Positionsdaten werden auch A-GPS Informationen von Mobilfunkmasten und WLAN-Access-Points verwendet, um die Positionsbestimmung auch ohne GPS zu ermöglichen (z. B. in Gebäuden) und allgemein die Genauigkeit zu erhöhen." Ich tippe außerdem auch darauf, dass, wie Dschwen schon sagte, da wahrscheinlich auch ein gewisses Raten des iphones im Spiel ist, falls gerade keine gute Positionsbestimmung möglich ist.

Wenn du also eine gute Positionsangabe bei Fotos haben willst, dann solltest du warten, bis das iphone die Position sicher gefunden hat - starte dazu vorm Foto googleMaps und lasse dir deine Position zeigen - wenn der blaue Kreis klein genug ist (z.B. weil du das Iphone mittlerweile längere Zeit aus der Hosentasche heraus hast und so de GPS-empfang besser ist), kannst du dein Foto machen. Würde ich zumindest so schätzen - ich habe kein iphone. Viele Grüße --Saibo (Δ) 01:20, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Danke für eure Erklärungsversuche. Das klingt ja alles ganz vernünftig; womöglich könnte das ein Grund für die Ungenauigkeit in Finnland gewesen sein; in Siegburg glaubte ich, das ausschliessen zu können. Aber: Ja, ich bin mit der Straßenbahn von BN-Beuel nach SU gefahren, war dann eine Weile in der Innenstadt unterwegs und kam auf dem Rückweg zum Bahnhof am Fotomotiv vorbei. Mir ist aber gerade eingefallen, dass ich das Gerät während des Siegburg-Aufenthaltes eine ganze Zeit lang ausgeschaltet hatte (was ich selten tue). Womöglich hatte es von Zeitpunkt des Wieder-Einschaltens bis zur Aufnahme eben noch nicht lange genug einen sauberen GPS-Empfang, um die alten Standortdaten zu ersetzen... Nun muss ich mir mal überlegen, wie ich mit den falschen Koordinaten in der Bildbeschreibung umgehe. Löschen des EXIF-Eintrages zur Position ist die einfache Variante; kompliziert würde es wohl werden, aus den richtien Koordinaten (quasi Soll-Werte) einen EXIF-Eintrag zu "fälschen"... Gruß --Sir James (talk) 13:21, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Es ist auch möglich die Bildbeschreibungsseite zu bearbeiten und die richtigen Positionen damit zu bestimmen. Ich weiß natürlich nicht, ob Daniel eines Tages seinen Bot umfunktioniert und alle manuell gesetzten Koordinaten wieder überschreiben lässt. Gruß -- RE rillke questions? 16:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Das werde ich sicher nicht machen. Ich habe einiges an Arbeit in den Bot gesteckt um das ueberschreiben existierender Koordinaten zu verhindern. Ausserdem werden normalerweise nur die Bilder der letzten drei Tage analysiert. Eine Aenderung in einem alten Upload bekommt der Bot also ohnehin nicht mit (und selbst wenn, dann wuerde er nichts ueberschreiben). --Dschwen (talk) 22:46, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Bestätigung für Saibos Vermutung: genau so ist es! Erst eine hinreichend genaue Positionsbestimmung mit welchem iPhone Tool auch immer und danach knipsen. So werden die GPS Koordinaten hinreichend genau. Das gilt natürlich auch für das iPhone 3GS. Grüße, --Alchemist-hp (talk) 23:09, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok, ich habe eine Idee, wie ich den Bot schlauer machen kann. Das Blutspendebild hat folgende EXIF-Tags

Date/Time Original              : 2011:07:01 17:42:54
GPS Time Stamp                  : 17:11:05

Man kann klar sehen, dass die GPS Koordinaten zum Aufnahmezeitpunkt schon ueber 30 Minuten alt sind. Ich muesste also einen Test in den Bot programmieren, der Koordinaten die zum Aufnahmezeitpunkt aelter als X Minuten sind ignoriert. Den Wert fuer X werde ich anhand eines Zeithistogramms entscheiden. --Dschwen (talk) 02:37, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Die Erklärung erscheint logisch; auf jeden Fall scheint das ein Bug im iPhone zu sein. Dass A-GPS-Koordinaten genommen worde sein könnten halte ich für SEHR unwahrscheinlich, denn in Siegburg ist die Genauigkeit von A-GPS maximal 200 m, vermutlich weit geringer; hier aber liegen 8 km dazwischen. In Finnalnd müsste man Daten-Roaming eingeschaltet haben, um die A-GPS-Koordinaten zu empfangen, was vermutlich nicht der Fall war (oder, Sir James)?

Etwas seltsam mutet es an, dass das iPhone Bogenminuten mit mehreren Stellen hinter dem Komma speichert und die Sekunden auf 0 stehen. Keine Ahnung, was die Programmierer bei Apple sich dabei gedacht haben. Aber anscheinend können der Bot, Google Maps usw. das dennoch richtig verarbeiten.

Am besten wäre es natürlich, die Koordinaten in den EXIF-Daten der Datei zu korrigieren. Das geht sehr bequem und komfortabel zum Beispiel über Picasa oder GeoSetter (beide kostenlos). -- H005 12:37, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Danke für die Tips. Etwas neben dem Thema, aber ich finde das Tool - speziell auf dem Smartphone - klasse: kennt ihr das schon? Gruß --Sir James (talk) 15:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Not reviewed images removed from quality images candidate list

QICbot has removed not reviewed images, for example, File:Alfa Romeo MiTo 02.jpg. Is it OK or not? Maksim Sidorov 00:28, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes it is ok, as mentioned in the QIC rules unreviewed images are removed after 8 days. --Dschwen (talk) 02:52, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Location-Bot inaktiv?

Hallo Daniel, läuft der Location-Bot noch? Ich habe mehrere Bilder mit Koordinaten in den EXIF-Daten hochgeladen, das erste bereits vor knapp drei Tagen (File:Doumo di Lucca vom Torre Guinigi 2009-07.jpg), und der Bot scheint sich nicht dafür zu interessieren. Da stimmt doch irgendwas nicht, oder? -- H005 09:41, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Happy geotagging bot

The bot removes LargeImage-template on large images

The bot removes the LargeImage-template on a lot of pictures, i.E. on File:Panorama_Gelsdorf.jpg (21.281 × 1.024 Pixel). I think 21.281 × 1.024 Pixel is large and probably it is a bug. Same on File:Apfelbaumplantage_bei_Gelsdorf.jpg (8.216 × 2.887 Pixel) which is a large image in my opinion. --Slick (talk) 06:18, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I guess it's the file size that matters, not the number of pixels. 6.75 MB is not actually large. -- H005 10:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

No, pixel size matters, and the template page clearly states that 50MP is the threshold. Every el cheapo digital camera outputs 10-16MP nowadays. Labeling 20MP as dangerously large is nonsense in my opinion. Please face the fact that computers are evolving over time and say goodbye to your outdated standards of what constitutes an unusually large image. --Dschwen (talk) 19:06, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

image does not contain or contains broken GPS data; removed gps exif request template

Thank you. In recent days I have been wondering whether the bot looked at such requests at all, or tried and failed, or what? Now I've got an error message which gives small hope of understanding the problem. It says it tried and failed. Obviously a more detailed failure report would be better, but it's pleasant to know something is being done and if failure messages become numerous they might help me analyze and find what, if anything, I'm doing wrong at my end.

Jetzt hat der bot es erwischt. Vermutlich hing die toolserver datenbank etwas hinterher, so dass der Bot den Upload nicht mitbekommen hat. --Dschwen (talk) 22:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Geocoding problem?

Hi, I think most if not all of my image contributions are properly geo-coded but I don't see any tags appear... Is this a problem with the image EXIF or is it something else? Thanks --DeVerm (talk) 13:56, 10 August 2011 (UTC).

Let me know if the issue persists. The toolserver database was lagging behind the commons database causing the bot to skip lots of images. --Dschwen (talk) 01:08, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Blacklisting images from DschwenBot EXIF analyzer?

An image that I recently uploaded via Flickruploadbot (File:Fitchburg Line at Walden Pond.jpg) has been geotagged by DschwenBot, which would normally be really really cool. However, there's something wrong with the EXIF data from Flickr - it locates the image about 100 meters from the train tracks, when it is clearly on the tracks. Is there any way to tell the bot not to geotag an image? (It's nothing wrong with the bot; it's just easier to work with it than to modify metadata.)

Feel free to respond here; I'll watch your talk page.

Cheers! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:06, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

You could download the image, remove the wrong EXIF data fields and upload it over the current one. However, even better is tagging it with the correct location, which I have just done. (May be a few meters off, but that doesn't matter very much.) -- H005 16:07, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Yep, what H005 said. The bot will not overwrite an existing tag. So why not just add the Location template yourself if you already go through the trouble of verifying the coordinates? --Dschwen (talk) 16:51, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Okay. In this case, I wasn't sure exactly where it was; I couldn't spot that little shack on Bing Maps. I knew the listed coords were wrong, but I couldn't place it any more accurately than 100 meters of tracks. I normally don't geotag unless I took the picture or I can absolutely verify the location. Thanks, though, now I know. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:52, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Dschwenbot: {{Location}} aus exif unterbinden?

Hallo Dschwen,

gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dem Dschwenbot zu sagen, dass er bei einem Bild das Generieren einer {{Location}}-Box aus den Exif-Daten unterlassen soll? Hintergrund ist, dass bei allen Bildern in Category:Aerial pictures of 2011 Wacken Open Air und noch ein paar anderen, die ich neulich hochgeladen habe, die exif-Positionsdaten brutal falsch sind (was ich blöderweise erst nach dem Hochladen gemerkt habe). Ich bin mir noch nicht sicher, ob ich es hinkriege, die geradezubiegen, oder ob ich sie komplett entferne, aber es wäre schön, wenn man die erstmal von der Botbearbeitung ausschließen könnte – ich brauch noch ein Weilchen, um das zurecht zu fummeln. Grüße, --El Grafo (talk) 13:38, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Klar, es gibt dazu ein Template, dass Du bei jeden Bild einfuegen kannst. Es nennt sich {{Location}} ;-). Ganz im ernst, nimm doch die ungefaehren Koordinaten des Festivals, und fuege sie bei jedem Bild ein. Hat der Bot die Bilder schon getaggt? Wenn ja, dann lass einfach erstmal die Finger davon, der bot guckt sich nur bis zu drei Tage alte Bilder an (danach kannst Du die Locations auch wieder entfernen). --Dschwen (talk) 01:00, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Moin, ja, der bot hat schon getaggt. Ich hatte bei fast allen von Hand {{Object location}} eingefügt, weil sich das nachträglich besser rekonstruieren ließ als die Kameraposition. Ich werd' dann einfach ein paar Tage warten, {{Location}} vorerst wieder entfernen und dann irgendwann, wenn ich mehr Zeit habe, die exifs korrigieren und evtl. {{Location}} neu reinsetzten. Danke, --El Grafo (talk) 08:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Atari 1200XL

Hi,

Thanks for the high-quality image of the Atari 1200XL! The only 1200XL image on commons previously had been... nothing special (to be polite :-)) and I'd been looking for a half-decent one under a compatible license a while back, without success.

I've made a "cutout" version isolating the computer itself (Atari 1200XL.jpg) for use in articles. Hope this is okay with you. I notice you had it tagged (via a hidden category) as needing processing, but it was a lot better than most peoples' images to start off with.

All the best,

Ubcule (talk) 19:06, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Glad you find it useful. I had the opportunity to have a photo shoot backstage in the collection of The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, organized by their Wikipedian in residence en:User:LoriLee. A lot of fun. And I have many more pictures to upload. --Dschwen (talk) 03:47, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

So fix it. Put in the correct location and the bot will not touch the files. Or wait a few days an take out the broken location. What do you expect me to do? Everytime somebody uploads a picture with shitty geodata I should programm add exception into the bot? --Dschwen (talk) 19:00, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Daniel, your bot could maybe check whether it is in the page-revision table? If yes, don't add again. Example for the main-page: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&titles=Main%20Page&rvprop=user&rvlimit=50

I don't know which format bots like most but API output is available in likely all common used ones. When you have time, you may think about it. Sincerely -- RE rillke questions? 21:15, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I already keep a local table of files that were already processed by the bot. Now that I think about it I don't know why the bot would ever visit the same file twice. Guess I'll have to investigate... --Dschwen (talk) 22:07, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

I removed the GPS EXIF data from the images. (I don't know the exact location they were taken, so maybe it's better just to remove the GPS tags.) And, yes, I think the bot should skip files it already has processed. Bots are useful for certain tasks (and I fully support geocoding) but bots shouldn't override well-founded edits or reverts by human users. Maybe we could also have a template such as {{Nogeocoding}} or {{Fixcoordinates}} for tagging files with incorrect EXIF GPS tags. Best regards, ––Apalsola ^{t • c} 23:51, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your bot from adding nonsense location data to File:Alt Hastedter Kirche, Bremen, Germany - 20110905.jpg and similar files. No doubt the file contains the nonsense, but it has now three times added lat and long of 720. There is already a probably correct {{Object location dec}} template on the files, so further {{Location}} is unnecessary. Thanks. Finavon (talk) 17:59, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

The {{Location}} template is the preferred geocoding template. So, having a {{Object location dec}} does not make {{Location}} unnecessary. --Dschwen (talk) 20:53, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I have modified the way the bot works now. Unless a {{GPS EXIF}} template is on the image page the bot will only visit an image if it hadn't visited it before. I also added a nonsense check to latitude (has to be between -90 and 90), but not for longitude yet (probably between -180 and 360 would cover most cases). --Dschwen (talk) 21:13, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Location Extraktionsproblem?

Hallo Dschwen, nur zur Info: hier hat Dschwenbot anscheinend zweimal Geodaten reingeschrieben, und zwar sehr unterschiedliche! Die ersten haben fast gestimmt (entsprechend der Ungenauigkeit des Kamera-GPS), die zweiten waren aus dem über 150 km entfernten Sonneberg, aus dem es viele Beiträge zu WLM2011 gibt. Ich habe die location-Angabe in meiner Datei repariert (gucke fast immer die GPS-Daten noch mal nach, weil die Kamera auch manchmal Unsinn behauptet), wollte nur bescheid sagen, für den Fall, dass da in Sonneberg auch was schiefgelaufen ist oder so.--Dehio (talk) 19:01, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Danke. Da waren zwei botinstanzen gleichzeitig unterwegs und es entstand eine race condition (ein bot hat einen temporaeren download des anderen ueberschrieben). --Dschwen (talk) 21:59, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Adding EXIF-date as well?

Hallo Dschwen, wir haben uns auf dem Freiburger Stammtisch neulich die Frage gestellt, ob dein Bot auch das Datum von Fotos aus den EXIF-Daten auslesen kann oder ob er "nur" das Location-Tag postet. Kannst du uns weiterhelfen? Danke und Gruß, --Flominator (talk) 13:20, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Klaro, Datum koennte ich auch auslesen. Sogar das GPS datum, d.h. Zeitpunkt der Datenaquisition. Das duerfte eine recht zuverlaessige Zeitmarke von der letzten Satellitenkommunikation sein. Aber ich dachte, dass es schon einen Bot gibt der das tut. Ausserdem sind meiner Erfahrung nach Kameradaten notorisch unzuverlaessig. Wer stellt schon seine Kamera zu Winter/Sommerzeit um? Wer stellt die Uhr wenn er auf Reisen geht? Etc. --Dschwen (talk) 15:14, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Welcher Bot macht das denn schon? Das Datum der Kameradaten differiert m.E. aber eher im Stunden- als im Tagesbereich. Zudem könnte man ja vermerken, dass es sich um ein Datum aus den EXIF-Daten handelt und ggf. sogar auf eine kleine Erklärungsseite verlinken. Was meinst du dazu? --Flominator (talk) 11:43, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I think, coordinates are useful in case of landscapes or cityscapes, buildings, nature (including details of animals or plants), architectonic details, events etc. However, in this case, coordinates are useless and missleading. I think, the extraction of coordinates from EXIF data by bot needs intelligent supervision. --ŠJů (talk) 21:42, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to intelligently supervise it. --Dschwen (talk) 22:34, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

VICbot ignores some candidates

Hi Daniel. I hope you are well. VICbot is currently ignoring a batch of promoted candidates, and I don't really know why. Since some of them are pretty old, I tried to make the bot look for candidates on a broader time span, but it didn't help, or I did it wrong. If you had the time to look at it (and to tell me what you did), it would be great.

extract EXIF/IPTC from png, too

Hello Daniel,
it would be nice to have DschwenBot extracting Metadata from png-files, too. Explicitly I am missing the coordinates.
Compare this png file with this jpg file containing identical metadata.
Best regards -- Malenki (talk) 10:01, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Let me be blunt here (please do not take this personal, but you happen to have hit a pet peeve of mine): PNG is not an appropriate format for uploading photos.If you are concerned about quality please simply upload JPG at a higher resolution. The fraction of PNG files that is abused for photos is fortunately very small on commons. Thus adding PNG support to the bot does not seem like a good use of my spare time. --Dschwen (talk) 19:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, found and fixed the bug. I might do a manual run to process the remaining old candidates though. Let me know. --Dschwen (talk) 23:21, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Scheint immer noch der Wurm drin zu sein. Der Bot hat zwar diesen VIC vom 06.11. Commons:Valued image candidates/Toronto: Four Seasons Centre archiviert aber z.B. nicht diesen Commons:Valued image candidates/Konica Minolta Tower vom 23.10. und auch etliche andere älteren Datums liegen bei VIC auf Halde. --Wladyslaw (talk) 09:35, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

There are still many stuck nominations. Could you have a look please? Thanks, Yann (talk) 14:46, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

The QIbot deadlocked today too. --Wladyslaw (talk) 14:57, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

2. nicht vollständig ausgeführter Botlauf innert weniger Tage. --Wladyslaw (talk) 12:23, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Tja, tut mir leid, die commons server spinnen und lasen den bot manchmal nicht die edits abschicken. Ich weiss, dass das nervt, aber ich kann da leider gerade nicht viel machen. --Dschwen (talk) 14:59, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Die Frage ist, muss man die "verhunzten" Botläufe nun von Hand zu Ende führen oder kannst Du das irgendwie maschinell hin biegen? --Wladyslaw (talk) 15:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

VIC bot dies due to a database error. A table apparently just disappeared from the toolserver db copy. This is just a f***ed up mess and I am starting to get a little tired of it. --Dschwen (talk) 15:01, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the removal of promoted images, is it possible for the bot to remove the oldest images first, rather than removing the newer ones? There are images that had been promoted more than a month ago.--Jetstreamer (talk) 10:38, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

The bot simply does not see the old candidates. I have not yet figured out why that is. But there is no built-in preference to promote newer candidates first. --Dschwen (talk) 19:19, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

200+

Slaungers two talk page rules:

1. When a user has more than 100 sections on his talk page it is time to archive.
2. When a user has more than 200 sections on his talk page, archiving is overdue .
