Hello, Jnanaranjan sahu!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Welcome, Dear Patroller![edit]

Counter Vandalism Unit

Hi Jnanaranjan sahu,

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use your help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons.

Dear Jnanaranjan sahu,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Hi Jnanaranjan sahu, I am a bored bot (this is kind of a computer program) that is watching the recent changes and tapping buttons like I did now.

Curious about the reason? Possibly not but I will tell you anyway:

  1. You edited User:Jnanaranjan sahu/common.js. Glad to see you coding in javascript! Have you ever considered becoming a MediaWiki hacker?
  2. Though, that change appears to introduce 1 new jshint issue — the page's status is now having warnings. Note that invalid or ambiguous code often has unwanted side effects like breaking other tools for you. If you cannot find out how to fix it, I suggest blanking the page for now.
  3. To help you understanding where the issues are, I have aggregated a report here and now. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask users experienced in javascript writing for help. But do not ask the bot's operators (chronically overwrought) unless you suspect an error of mine. If you prefer not getting spammed by me, you can opt-out reports by adding {{ValidationOptOut|type=all}} to your user page or cmb-opt-out anywhere on your your global user page on Meta. Good luck at Wikimedia Commons and happy hacking!

Creator:Jnanaranjan Sahu has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this creator, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Multilingual captions beta testing[edit]

The Structured Data on Commons team has begun beta testing of the first feature, multilingual file captions, and all community members are invited to test it out. Captions is based on designs discussed with the community[1][2] and the team is looking forward to hearing about testing. If all goes well during testing, captions will be turned on for Commons around the second week of January, 2019.

Multilingual captions are plain text fields that provide brief, easily translatable details of a file in a way that is easy to create, edit, and curate. Captions are added during the upload process using the UploadWizard, or they can be added directly on any file page on Commons. Adding captions in multiple languages is a simple process that requires only a few steps.

The details:

  • There is a help page available on how to use multilingual file captions.
  • Testing will take place on Beta Commons. If you don’t yet have an account set up there, you’ll need one.
  • Beta Commons is a testbed, and not configured exactly like the real Commons site, so expect to see some discrepancies with user interface (UI) elements like search.
  • Structured Data introduces the potential for many important page changes to happen at once, which could flood the recent changes list. Because of this, Enhanced Recent Changes is enabled as it currently is at Commons, but with some UI changes.
  • Feedback and commentary on the file caption functionality are welcome and encouraged on the discussion page for this post.
  • Some testing has already taken place and the team are aware of some issues. A list of known issues can be seen below.
  • If you discover a bug/issue that is not covered in the known issues, please file a ticket on Phabricator and tag it with the “Multimedia” tag. Use this link to file a new task already tagged with "Multimedia."

Known issues:

Thanks!

In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)[edit]

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 November or Thursday, 10 November 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

  1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
  2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
  3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data - development update, March 2019[edit]

This text is also posted on the Structured Data hub talk page. You can reply there with questions, comments, or concerns.

A development update for the current work by the Structured Data on Commons team:

After the release of multilingual file captions, work began on getting depicts and other statements ready for release. These were originally scheduled for release in February and into March, however there are currently two major blockers to finishing this work (T215642, T217157). We will know more next week about when depicts and statements can likely be ready for testing and then release; until then I've tentatively updated the release schedule.

Once the depicts feature is ready for testing, it will take place in two stages on TestCommons. The first is checking the very basics; is the design comfortable, how does the simple workflow of adding/editing/removing statements work, and building up help and process pages from there. The second part is a more detailed test of depicts and other statements, checking the edge-case examples of using the features, bugs that did not come up during simple testing, etc. Additionally we'll be looking with the community for bugs in interaction with bots, gadgets, and other scripts once the features are live on Commons. Please let me know if you're interesting in helping test and fix these bugs if they show up upon release, it is really hard to find them in a test environment or, in some cases, bugs won't show up in a testing environment at all.

One new thing is definitely coming within the next few weeks, pending testing: the ability to search for captions. This is done using the inlabel keyword in search strings, and will be the first step in helping users find content that is specifically structured data. I'll post a notice when that feature is live and ready for use.

Thanks, let me know if you have questions about these plans. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:34, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data - early depicts testing[edit]

The Structured Data on Commons development team has the very basic version of depicts statements available for early testing on Test-Commons. You can add very basic depicts statements to the file page by going into the new “Structured Data” tab located below the "Open in Media Viewer button." You can use the Latest Files link in the left side nav bar to select existing images, or use the UploadWizard to upload new ones to test with (although those images won’t actually show up on the site). The test site is not a fully functional replica of Commons, so there may be some overall problems in using the site, but you should be able to get a general idea of what using the feature is like.

Early next week I will call for broad, community-wide testing of the feature similar to what we did for Captions, with instructions for testing, known bugs, and a dedicated space to discuss the feature as well as a simple help page for using statements. Until then, you're welcome to post on the SDC talk page with what you might find while testing depicts.

Thanks in advance for trying it out, you'll be hearing more from me next week. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 22:00, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data - testing qualifiers for depicts[edit]

As you might have seen, testing is underway for adding qualifiers to depicts statements. If you have not left feedback already, the Structured Data on Commons development team is very interested in hearing about your experience using qualifiers on the file page and in the UploadWizard. To get started you can visit Test-Commons and chose a random file to test out, or upload your own file to try out the UploadWizard. Questions, comments, and concerns can be left on the Structured data talk page and the team will address them as best as they can. Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:08, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data on Commons - IRC office hours this week, 18 July[edit]

The Structured Data team is hosting an IRC office hour this week on Thursday, 18 July, from 17:00-18:00 UTC. Joining information as well as date and time conversion is available on Meta. Potential topics for discussion are the testing of "other statements", properties that may need to be created for Commons on Wikidata soon, plans for the rest of SDC development, or whatever you might want to discuss. The development team looks forward to seeing you there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:51, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data - testing other statements[edit]

You can now test using other statements for structured data on the file page on Test-Commons. Some datatypes are not yet available, such a coordinates, but further support will be extended soon. You can find more information about testing on the SDC talk page. The team looks forward to your feedback. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16:41, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data - computer-aided tagging[edit]

The development team is starting work on one of the last planned features for SDC v1.0, a lightweight tool to suggest depicts tags for images. I've published a project page for it, please have a look. I plan to share this page with everyone on Commons much more broadly in the coming days. The tool has been carefully designed to try to not increase any workload on Commons volunteers; for starters, it will be opt-in for auto-confirmed users only and will not generate any sort of backlog here on Commons. Additionally, the tool is highly privacy-minded for the contributors and publicly-minded for the third party being used, in this case Google. The implementation and usage notes contain more information about these and other potential concerns as a starting place. It's really important that the tool is implemented properly from the start, so feedback is welcome. Questions, comments, concerns are welcome on the talk page and I will get answers as quickly as possible as things come up. On the talk page you can also sign up to make sure you're a part of the feedback for designs and prototype testing. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:57, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data - modeling data[edit]

As you may have seen, there are community discussions underway on how to best model structured data on Commons.

Please visit and participate in topics you might be interested in when you get some time. Thanks. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:39, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Structured Data - computer-aided tagging designs[edit]

I've published a design consultation for the computer-aided tagging tool. Please look over the page and participate on the talk page. If you haven't read over the project page, it might be helpful to do so first. The tool will hopefully be ready by the end of this month (October 2019), so timely feedback is important. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:09, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request to move filenames[edit]

Hi Gyana, can I request you to help me move files that I have recently uploaded with filenames like "File:LL-Q33810 (ori)---Creator-Subhashish Panigrahi-- (Psubhashish)-ହୋଇଥିଲା.wav": the part "File:LL-Q33810 (ori)---Creator-Subhashish Panigrahi-- (Psubhashish)-" needs to be replaced with "File:LL-Q33810 (ori)-Psubhashish-". Thanks in advance. --Psubhashish (talk) 17:09, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Commons - Media Search[edit]

Greetings,

The Structured Data team is working on an alternative, image-focused prototype for media search on Commons. The prototype uses categories, structured data as well as wikitext from Commons, and Wikidata to find its results. The development team would like your feedback on the prototype, as they are looking to work to further enhance the search experience on Commons. If you have a moment, please look over the project page set up on Commons to find a link to the prototype and leave your feedback on the talk page. Thanks for your time, I'll be posting message similar to this one to other pages on Commons. The team is looking forward to reading what you think. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:47, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Commons - Media Sarch, new feedback round[edit]

Greetings,

I'm following up on a message from earlier in the year about the prototype development for Special:MediaSearch. Based on community feedback, the Structured Data team has developed some new features for Special:MediaSearch and are seeking another round of comments and discussions about the tool. Commons:Structured_data/Media_search is updated with details about the new features plus some other development information, and feedback is welcome on Commons talk:Structured_data/Media_search. Media Search works in any language, so the team would especially appreciate input around support for languages other than English. I look forward to reading about what you think. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FoP deletions[edit]

  • Jnanaranjan, I'm sorry that you've encountered A1Cafel here and that they have been seeking to have your uploads deleted. If they have also been threatening you with blocking, then please raise that through COM:AN/U. They've done that so much in the past that there is a specific restriction in place [3] on them to stop them threatening people like that.
A1Cafel enjoys getting things deleted, so most of their edits here are to do that. Oddly they also like to bulk upload images with just the same problems. But 'deleting stuff' is seen as a good thing on Commons, so they're allowed to keep on doing it: Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/User problems#Subject: Request for Permanent Block of A1Cafel.
Some of the problem here is that A1Cafel does not understand copyright or FOP, but they keep claiming that they do when using it as a deletion reason. Now these topics are complicated and it's fair to say that nearly all new editors coming here won't understand them (Commons is one of the few places on the web that does care). For that reason we need to be patient in explaining them and generous to editors who have inadvertently breached them. Certainly A1Cafel's attitude of "Can I get to block someone now?" is inexcusable.
To explain (sorry for being long-winded, but I'm trying to be complete): All things here need to be freely licensed. Please read COM:L, but even that doesn't adequately explain the limits of free licensing. There are images that are usable on Wikipedia but are not acceptable for Commons, because they're not free enough (so please put them on Wikipedia). Commons doesn't have the same goal as Wikipedia: Commons prioritises free reusability over knowledge, Wikipedia is the other way round. So things to go on Commons need to be really free, so that anyone can re-use them in the future.
To be free, an image mustn't be encumbered at either of two levels. The photograph itself is probably the copyright of a recent photographer, like yourself, but we encourage such photographers to license it freely through Creative Commons (it's still in copyright, but we now have clear permission). Also the subject of a photograph needs to be free. A photo of a tree or a mountain is fine, but one of an artistic or creative work can be a problem. There is copyright on paintings, sculptures, architectural buildings. This lasts (in most countries) for some decades after the death of the artist. So a photo of an old statue is OK, but a new building might not be. Although some buildings are so crude that it's arguable they don't have any copyright attached to them. This is often an issue for a sign. Is it just brief text? (not protected) or is it a complex graphic work (protected) ? To simplify this, many countries have 'Freedom of Panorama' which says that if you put your copyrighted work out in a public space, where members of the public can see it and photograph it, from public spaces, then you can't expect to still restrict its copyright. This gets very complicated, and it varies by country. Some famous examples (the Eiffel Tower is out of copyright but its lighting at night is still protected) are very obscure. A1Cafel likes deleting things and has posted many deletion requests that misrepresent FoP in order to delete more stuff.
In brief, FoP allows you to photograph copyrighted subjects in public places, without being subject to that copyright. It isn't available in South Africa.
But, which A1Cafel regularly ignores, you don't need FoP to photograph something that doesn't have a copyright anyway. If a subject is now public domain because of age, or it never had a copyright applied to it, it doesn't matter if there's no FoP.
Now for these, Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Jan Smuts Statue in Company Gardens, A1Cafel is probably right. The statue will remain in copyright until 2043, so we can't use it. See Category:Statue of the Little Mermaid (Copenhagen) for a similar example until 2030.
Looking at the museum overall, we see photos like this File:SA National Gallery - panoramio.jpg where there's a sculpture just visible in the centre. However in this case we could claim de minimis as an excuse (rather than FoP). This is a photo of the museum rather than the sculpture, the sculpture appears, but is incidental. This is another topic that A1Cafel does not understand.
There are many photos on Commons that should be deleted, many for these reasons, probably some of them are yours. But please don't take it to heart – there are many good photos that can't be used on Commons, because of the way Commons is purposed. That's no reflection on the photographer or uploading editor. We have a big problem here where some editors and admins have no respect for photographers, they see them merely as obstacles to the great purpose of getting as many things deleted as possible.
I'm sorry that you've had this experience. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:51, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Andy Dingley Thank you for your concerns. This is the incident so far.
  1. A1Cafel tagged some of my images for deletion and I think that is valid.
  2. Another user Jeff G has warned me of getting blocked for my uploads of copyvio. The message said that it was my final warning before getting blocked.
  3. I have raised concern regarding the this on commons help page, one admin talk page and the user's talk page. My concern was not about the delete request but regarding warning and any action that is needed by me for my past uploads.
  4. On all replies I just got message regarding the FOP and that I should be careful about the uploads. On one reply Jeff written that "should have used {{Fcs}} before {{End of copyvios}} because you did not have a recent enough {{Copyvionote}}".
  5. I got panicked because of the block warning and added delete tags to many of my uploads of which some may have no issue with copyvio. Like this. I have withdrawn deletion request from many DRs I have made in panic.
  6. The admin I have contacted has removed the blocking message from my talk page.
  7. I also wanted to be sure about my past uploads and proper action I should take so started discussion on A1Cafel's talk page where you also had your inputs. I wanted to get educated or may be reviewed by someone so that I will add delete tag to my own photos and don't face the warning in future, but to be honest I felt like got very generic reply. I expected some more knowledgeable suggestion from someone who is curating images. But that is not a concern and I reviewed my own uploads.
This is the whole story so far. Let me know if any actionable step I should take. Jnanaranjan Sahu (ଜ୍ଞାନ) talk 10:54, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your tool twitter to commons is great!

Here're some feedbacks:

  1. it doesnt work for https://twitter.com/insidevoa/status/1575971788336553984 even though it has an image? i input this link and clicked "show tweet details". tool says "This tweet may not have any images.Please check the link".
  2. typo "Categoty" on https://twitter-to-commons.toolforge.org/administration RZuo (talk) 14:03, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the time being it is broken for single tweet. I will fix it.
I will fix that typo.

Hi @RZuo I have added the fixes. Please do test and let me know. Jnanaranjan Sahu (ଜ୍ଞାନ) talk 21:52, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
it still says the same "may not have any images" for the insidevoa tweet above. RZuo (talk) 10:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well it's not working because it is a conversation (thread). But it can be fixed. However keep in mind that you can only upload images that are copyright free. Jnanaranjan Sahu (ଜ୍ଞାନ) talk 11:42, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
but https://twitter.com/insidevoa/status/1575971788336553984/photo/1 cannot be imported either. this link should be quite clearly about a photo? RZuo (talk) 11:47, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
May be because it is a part of a threaded post.
