Knockin' on Heaven's Door

Door knocker in Paris

Dear Jebulon,

I am in lack of words for the terror events, which has swept over the city of Paris in recent days. Although I think it is not your usual style of music, I came to think about the remarkably simple tune by Bob Dylan, Knockin' on Heaven's Door written for the soundtrack of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. In the song these well-known lines appear from a deputy sheriff dying from a bullet wound:

"Mama, take this badge off of me; I can't use it anymore."

My thoughts go not only to the artists at Charlie Hebdo, who became victims of the madness of a few people, but also the hostages killed in the super market and the dead police officers, and all those heroes who risked their life and who has done a tremendous effort in stopping the insanity...for now. In browsing my photos from Paris I found this door knocker. Somehow the expression of the lion with the empty stare and troubled brows and its sad face due to the ring seems fitting. -- Slaunger (talk) 13:50, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Slaunger. Probably some of our friends here know or guess that I'm strongly involved in these recent events. Hvad bliver det næste ? I don't know. We are shocked, but the world is with us. We french people know and feel this very deeply. Tomorrow will be a great marching day in Paris. I hope all will be good, and everybody safe.

Shame on hate, violence, integrism, obscurantism and antisemitism. God, if He exists, is love, and doesn't care about cartoons. Let's take care of freedom and democracy, and keep watchful. Peace over you all. Vive la Liberté, Vive l'Égalité, Vive la Fraternité.--Jebulon (talk) 22:08, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Strong words, and well said! Indeed we are with you tomorrow in our thoughts. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

French WWI POW Camp money

I'm doing some work at the Smithsonian and there is a box full of WWI French POW camp scrip (by location). Are there any towns, regions you might have interest in? I know it's last minute (because I leave tomorrow), but I will be back again if you have interest... To reach me fastest, please leave a message on my Wikipedia talk page.--Godot13 (talk) 16:52, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jebulon- I do volunteer/consulting work for the Smithsonian, specifically the National Numismatic Collection. I have focused on US currency for the past two years and am now branching out into world paper currency. There are 1-2 boxes of French WWI/WWII scrip issued by local municipalities and towns and a number issued by prisoner of war camps set up in numerous towns in France. I myself am just starting to learn about these notes. I will let you know before I go back (2-3 months) and if there are any towns or regions that historically or personally interest you, let me know and I'll see what I can find. This would also go for other French or French-interested wikipedians.--Godot13 (talk) 01:19, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

OK, I understand better now, thank you. My concern was about the word "scrip", which I could not translate in french. It is clearer now. Maybe you could, next time, send me an example ? I'm particularly interested by the department of Aisne, in the north east of France, where the "Chemin des Dames" battlefield stays, as well as the front line. The south of the department was to the French, but the north to the Germans: maybe there where some french-PoW camps in the German lines ? City of Laon or Saint-Quentin ? --Jebulon (talk) 11:19, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

BNF

Bonjour, j'aimerais une précision. Les images issues de la BNF ne sont pas réutilisables commercialement me semble-t-il, d'après leurs propres conditions. Pourtant vous affirmez sur votre page que toutes les images que vous avez ajoutées à wikimedia sont librement utilisables. Il me semble que ce n'est pas le cas. Les images sont librement réutilisables aux USA seulement. Pouvez-vous ce confirmer ceci ?

Qui êtes-vous?--Jebulon (talk) 20:43, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Je n'ai pas de compte, il se peut que j'en créé un. J'ai seulement posé cette question pour me renseigner. Si je regarde la page wikimdia "réutilisation des images" je lis deux choses : d'abord que les images sont librement réutilisables sans qu'on ait besoin de demander la permission et le paragraphe d'après exactement le contraire, il est écrit qu'il faut vérifier auprès de la source de l'image exactement comme si l'image n'avait pas été récupérée depuis wikimedia. J'en déduit que les images ne sont pas forcément libres et que wikimedia n'offre aucune guarantie. Concernant la BNF il est écrit sur leur site que la réutilisation commerciale est interdite pour la france. Mais comme wikimedia se base sur la loi américaine on peut y récupérer ces images. Néanmoins il est imposssible en france de les réutiliser dans le cadre d'un projet commercial. Qu'en pensez-vous ?

Bonsoir. Je n'aime pas trop m'adresser à des anonymes. Ma façon de voir est la suivante: la BNF (et sa bibliothèque en ligne Gallica) est un service public. Ce qu'elle conserve ne lui appartient pas, mais aux citoyens, au moins ce qui est dans le domaine public au sens de la loi (souvent annoté comme tel par Gallica elle-même, d'ailleurs, et parfois même à tort !). Je ne télécharge dans "Commons" que ce qui est déja dans le domaine public, sans restriction d'aucune sorte. Nous sommes ici des dizaines, ou des centaines, dans ce cas. Et je sais ne pas enfreindre aucune règle d'aucune sorte. --Jebulon (talk) 21:11, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Je suis de votre avis dans le fond. D'après ce que j'ai lu, la règle de Wikimedia est que, pour être éligibles, les images doivent être dans le domaine public à la fois aux EU et dans le pays source, et les reproductions photos ou scans ne donnent pas lieu à de nouveaux droits. Néanmoins, certaines institutions ne le voient pas de cet oeil là. Je pense qu'il faut mettre en garde les gens au sujet de la réutilisation (surtout commerciale) et les renvoyer vers la page de wikicomons qui en parle. C'est pour leur sécurité simplement, pas pour leur faire la morale. Ils pourraient avoir des problèmes. Par exemple, avez-vous fait vous-même la photo de Molière ? Ou est-ce une image récupérée depuis la BNF. Dans le premier cas il n'y a pas de problème de réutilisation, dans le second on ne sait jamais, la BNF revendiquant des droits de propriété sur le contenu numérisé par elle...

Je me permets d'ajouter mes 2 Rs. Je pense que les revendications de la BNF sont du vent. Je ne crois pas qu'un tribunal validerait ça. Malheureusement, il nous manque en France, une législation positive du domaine public, et des gens et organisations pour la faire appliquer. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 19:30, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Bonsoir. De quel Molière parlez-vous ? Si c'est celui de cette image, alors oui, j'en suis bien l'auteur, et pas peu fier, d'ailleurs ! Sinon, en effet, je vous comprends, mais...--Jebulon (talk) 18:57, 4 February 2015 (UTC) Je ne crois pas que quiconque puisse revendiquer de quelconques droits sur les images que je télécharge depuis le site de la BNF. Pas plus que je ne crois que le Musée d'Orsay ait le droit de m'interdire d'y prendre des photos, mais là c'est plus dur de discuter...--Jebulon (talk) 19:56, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Bonjour, oui c'était de ce Molière qu'il s'agissait. Personnellement, je préfère ne pas prendre de risques, c'est pour cette raison que je fais attention. Un autre exemple, celui des récupérations depuis les sites commerciaux. Voici la réponse que j'ai obtenue à ma demande de réutilisation de l'image de Condorcet présente dans sa biographie sur Wikipedia, qui est récupérée depuis AllPoster, et qui "appartient" à Bridgeman images : "Non les images ne sont pas libres de droit et ne peuvent être utilisées sans être déclarée. Donc chacune de nos images donnent lieu à un droit de reproduction si tel était le cas. Si vous vouliez vous procurer cette image il faudra donc vous mettre en relation avec nous." La revendication ici est celle du droit d'auteur sur la photographie je pense.

Bonjour. Ce "Molière", je l'ai photographié moi-même à main levée au musée Condé de Chantilly, donc pas de problème. En revanche, vous verrez sur "Commons" (y compris pour cette image, d'ailleurs), des versions à ultra haute résolution, réalisées pour le "Google Art Project". Personnellement ça me choque un peu, pour tout un tas de raisons ("Commons" doit-il héberger des images qu'on trouve ailleurs sur le net ? Est-ce bien éthique de s'approprier ainsi le travail d'autrui ? Ne devrait-on pas privilégier les images prises par des usagers plutôt que par des machines ? etc...). Ces débats agitent notre petite sphère depuis bien des années, il en ressort qu'uploader des images de Google Art Project est "légal" du point de vue de Wikimedia. Donc je reste avec mes propres interrogations, et je me fixe mes propres limites. Mais je ne me laisse pas impressionner non plus par les affirmations "Non ce n'est pas libre de droits..." qui sont parfois (souvent ?) autant péremptoires qu'hasardeuses sur le plan légal. Vous trouverez ici des utilisateurs qui sont des militants, et même des activistes, du "libre à tout crin", et pour qui la participation à "Commons" s'apparente à une prise de position politique. Vous en trouverez d'autres qui sont "limitateurs" à l'excès (selon moi), et pour qui le respect du "Droit d'Auteur" et du "Copyright" est un jeu intellectuel. Certains s'en sont fait une spécialité, qui confine parfois (toujours selon moi) à une autocensure très exagérée. Disons que j'ai quant à moi une position médiane, que je ne dédaigne pas d'enfreindre parfois la règle (surtout quand son application est douteuse), mais qu'il m'arrive aussi de solliciter l'effacement ("Deletion request") de certains fichiers quand à mon avis "y'a d'labus". Les oeuvres d'art ne sont pas seules en cause, le paysage urbain est aussi concerné, particulièrement en France. Voyez à cet égard COM:FOP sur la "liberté de panorama", vous serez édifié (c'est le cas de le dire, s'agissant d'architecture).--Jebulon (talk) 16:11, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Bonjour. Comme je le disais, Commons part du principe que la photographie des oeuvres d'art en 2 dimensions n'est pas copyrightable. A partir de là, il est possible d'y faire figurer des images d'absolument n'importe quel site internet. Pour le Google Art Project, les images appartiennent aux institutions qui hébergent les oeuvres, mais pas à Google. Tout cela est compliqué, mais au bout du compte récupérer une image depuis Wikimedia Commons n'est pas une garantie que l'on peut s'en resservir surtout commercialement. La législation étant ce qu'elle est, il faut se renseigner de son côté. La BNF va jusqu'à interdire la réutilisation commerciale des OCRs produits par elle à partir de ses collections issues du domaine public, ce qui me paraît impossible puisque l'OCR, c'est simplement un texte du domaine public. Le pdf peut peut-être être considéré comme un "document administratif", mais le texte extrait, lui ? Cela me paraît insensé. Ils ont un projet qui s'appelle "CORRECT", qui ressemble à wikisource, à la différence près que les textes produits ne sont exploitables commercialement que par eux (d'après ce que je comprends). Donc ils font travailler les internautes pour se constituer un fond de textes à exploiter commercialement.

Bonsoir

File: Kirschblüte mit Biene (2007-04-06).JPG

Hallo Jebulon, ich kann verstehen, dass Sie etwas gegen mich haben. Denn in der Vergangenheit habe ich Ihnen gelegentlich bei Ihren Bewertungen widersprochen und sogar einmal – wenn ich mich recht erinnere – eins Ihrer Fotos kritisiert. Dass Sie aber jetzt das Foto „Kirschblüte mit Biene (2007-04-06).JPG“ mit der gleichen Begründung ablehnen wie die vorhergehenden Opposer, ist bemerkenswert; denn Sie haben eine neue, deutlich überarbeitete Version gesehen und nicht die gleiche wie die anderen. Oder haben Sie tatsächlich das Gefühl, die Blüte in dem Bild sei überbelichtet? Kirschblüten sind nun mal weiß und dadurch meist ziemlich hell. Schönen Abend -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 21:58, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Australorps en VI.

Pour le vase, c'est du cristal de roche. Il n'en manque aucune partie, une tige de métal filetée en assure la tenue verticale dans un socle en résine transparente. Il a été retrouvé, dans une grotte, brisé en centaines de petites particules, et reconstitué par les conservateurs du musée.

Rethymno lighthouse

Some trivial infos, it is a common misconception that the old lighthouse of Rethymno is venetian (maybe because the old harbour was constructed by the Venetians), but the lighthouse is actually made by the Egyptians [1] (when they were the rulers of Crete for some years in 19th century).

Coat of arms question

How to adequately describe and categorize this CoA?

Hi Jebulon,

At a recent visit to Roskilde I went past the Priory in town and noticed this CoA on its entrance gate. I am (unsurprisingly) very ignorant regarding heraldry, and I have no idea what this refer to. I have been trying to look for information about the CoA by doing image searches like "våbenskjold Rosklide Kloster"; a lot of search results pop up, but none showing exactly this CoA. I did, however find this of Niels Juel, which has the same elements, but not the exact same shape. I have found another variant of the Juel family CoA here though, which looks more like the depicted CoA. It sort of makes sense, as the widow after Niels Juel, Margrethe Ulfeldt was one of two women converting these buildings into a Frauenstift in 1699. But is this the coat of arms of Niles Juel, do you think? How to properly categorize the file? I have no experience with categorization of CoAs. -- Slaunger (talk) 11:57, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

St Etienne du Mont church

Hi Jebulon. I visited the church yesterday and I must thank you for the suggestion, it is quite possibly the most beautiful and elegant church in Paris. I managed to take (I think, as I haven't processed them yet) some nice photos, so you may see them on FPC sometime soon. Unfortunately the main 'down the middle' photo was ruined a bit by an old man who sat there for about half an hour and didn't move. I didn't have the patience to wait any longer so I was forced to take the photo with him in it. Not a complete disaster but I always try to wait until there's nobody in the view. I might be able to remove him in post but I doubt it. I did move further forward and got a photo of the lovely stonework which didn't include him but it isn't a complete view from below the organ that I was hoping for. Anyway, just wanted to thank you and let you know of my visit! Diliff (talk) 08:54, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Rocky beach

Yes, and the three pictures were also taken here. It is not exactly the beach of Fodele (named on Google maps), but the little beach at the east of the main beach of the village, separated by the photographed rocks. Lovely, as all what I know of your country (a very little...) Do you think the location is doubtful ? I try to be very careful with this.--Jebulon (talk) 14:59, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

I think the location is OK (I saw first this one and a sandy beach with some rocks is not the most unique beach ever :). And as far as I know, this beach doesn't have a different name. The village (claiming to be the birth place of El Greco) is quite inland. --C messier (talk) 15:26, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I saw the bust. Do not doubt, the location is OK.--Jebulon (talk) 15:43, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

St-Etienne-du-Mont FPC

Hi Jebulon. Just wondered if you wanted to make a comment or vote on this nomination. I mentioned you in my comments as this was 'your church' that you recommended to me. I don't mind whether you oppose or support, I'm not asking for any special treatement! I only thought it would be useful to know your opinion of the image. I have one oppose currently on the basis that it is 'very distorted'. Obviously any very wide angle view will have such distortions, but it's no worse than most of my other interior images IMO. Diliff (talk) 21:03, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Diliff, thanks for message... and pictures ! It is my parish church and I know ot very well, of course. I like your pic by itself, but yes, the distortion is disturbing, and the result does not look for me like the church I know. Please let me think about a bit more before voting, and giving you a good and useful assessment. By the way, another advice: the next time you go to Normandy, have a look on the nave of the cathedral of Bayeux, Calvados. An excellent challenge for you, and you'll like this church, for sure !--Jebulon (talk) 21:48, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Bayeux Cathedral does look beautiful, and worth a visit. As for your parish church, it's hard to show a wide angle view containing the important details without some distortions. Perhaps it is too wide. I think it could be cropped so that horizontal boundary is the nearest columns and the top boundary is the arch of the third pillar? It would remove a lot of the extreme distortions and wouldn't miss too many interesting details. Diliff (talk) 14:34, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

I think your own choice, as mentioned in the FPC discussion, should have been better, because of the rod screen, wich is very attractive and eye catching, then the distortions are less visible. Paris16 was too fast IMO ! About the Bayeux cath, it is very interesting, because the lower part is romanesque (buitl by sons of William the Conqueror, if I remember well), with viking motives and engravings such as repetitive knots or so, and the upper part is gothic. Very nice. Furthermore, the nave was built for photographers, because you have to go down some steps to come inside. A perfect place for a tripod ! ;) 📷--Jebulon (talk) 21:41, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Yes, Paris16 seems to be watching my uploads very carefully. Every time I upload something Paris-related, he jumps into action and re-categorises it or nominates it on FPC. I appreciate his enthusiasm though. ;-) There are so many French cathedrals, much more in England. I visited most of the English cathedrals (around 30 Anglican cathedrals plus a few Catholic cathedrals anyway) last year as part of a Wikimedia UK funded project. I'd even like to do a similar project in France, but there are just SO many to visit, and of course France is a bit larger too so it takes longer to travel. It would take perhaps a month, visiting 3 or 4 each day! I'll start with the north of France, it's a bit easier from here. :-) Diliff (talk) 22:30, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

But Normandy is very english-related, it is the country of you ancestors since 1066 ! We have there two of your heraldic leopards of England, the third is to be found in Aquitaine !

I suggest this for the photos in museums [3] --LivioAndronico talk 08:53, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for advice ! My main concern in museums is the compromise between aperture and sharpness... Fortunately, Lightroom is my friend !--Jebulon (talk) 09:03, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Also Livio, the problem with these wide aperture lenses is that although they allow for fast shutter speeds in dark rooms, they have very very shallow depth of field at apertures like f/1.8, which can be a problem. Sometimes it is better to use a stopped down aperture (f/4 to f/5.6 maybe) and use a higher ISO, then just noise reduction in Lightroom as Jebulon mentions. You can remove some noise from an image but you can never turn blur into sharpness. There is no substitute for a tripod which would allow much longer shutter speeds, but most museums would never allow that unfortunately. Diliff (talk) 09:09, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Spaso-Preobrazhensky cathedral

The subject was, to make a whole cathedral visible in its current state, to get the whole interior of this church. So I've done about 70 images of walls, and views, and details. --PereslavlFoto (talk) 22:32, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks for information. Very interesting project, good luck !--Jebulon (talk) 11:23, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Visit Brazil someday!

Hello, Jebulon! I recommend you visit Brazil. This vast country is home to unique natural life. It is abundant in splendid landscapes. Visit Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brasília and many other cities! Visit Brazil someday! 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 22:32, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

HEC

Hi Jebulon, yes I am indeed going to HEC, starting this september. Congrats to your son on his graduation! It's funny how small the (wiki-)world is. I am doing a MSc there, which is pretty much like the last year of the Grande Ecole for French students (of course, we "normal" Europeans have a different degree system compared to the prépa-GE that is used in France). Thanks a lot for your offer, I hope that right now everything is clear, but I may come back if something comes up. Have a nice sunday! PS: I think MBA is purple and MSc is pink, but perhaps I'm wrong. Not sure about the images they have on their website --DXR (talk) 07:33, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Well, I will find out soon enough about the colors, and they probably are not quite the most important thing ;-). In any case, many thanks for your good wishes and it is great to see some good and free pictures of the graduation here. --DXR (talk) 17:34, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
