File:Diego Narvaez Rincon.JPG

I reverted this file and the old one has complete Exif-Data. Do we still need a permission? Thanks --RE RILLKE Questions? 17:35, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I think so. The user name Artistentertainment implies that the copyright is held by a corporation (probably http://www.aegroup.com.au/), but of course anyone could register an official-sounding user name, so that needs OTRS confirmation from an e-mail account @aegroup.com.au. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:41, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Gutosão copyvios

Hello LX, I saw you marking a series of copyvios on Gutosão photos. Will it be possible to automatically replace the photos in use in wikipedia projects with equivalent versions, when available?-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 22:32, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

No, sorry, I'm not aware of any feature like that, and I don't see how that would technically work. It's quite hard to automatically determine if two photos are "equivalent" for a given illustration purpose. —LX (talk, contribs) 05:36, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Hmm.. It would have to be manually, then... I would do it later today, perhaps, if the images would be still there. :S -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 05:51, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, upon closer inspection, File:800px-Palacio da Alvorada Mezzanine.JPG is actually a scaled-down duplicate of File:Palacio da Alvorada Mezzanine.JPG (not sure why Gutosão felt the need to upload that instead of just using the full-resolution version, which has proper source and authorship information). The version uploaded by Gutosão doesn't seem to be used anywhere. Usage information may not be fully up to date at the moment, though. The same applies to File:Alvoradaanoite.jpg (an apparently unused low-resolution duplicate of File:Palacio da Alvorada Exterior.JPG). Other photos of Palácio da Alvorada can be found in Category:Palácio da Alvorada.

The only file that's reportedly in use is File:Theatro Municipal, Rio de Janeiro 2010.jpg. For that, we have several alternatives in Category:Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro: File:Teatro Municipal.jpg and File:Teatro municipal rio de janeiro.jpg are both much better quality than the copyvio uploaded by Gutosão. —LX (talk, contribs) 06:15, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Those files were not exact replacements, since the copyvio photo was taken after the 2009/2010 restoration. For the Portuguese wikipedia, which was the only one which used it in that context, I tweaked another Commons file to make File:Theatro Municipal do Rio 22-05-2010-2.JPG (actually, the original photo was taken during a Wiki meeting, just days before the inauguration of the restoration works in the theatre), which may even be more appropriated, since the other photo was apparently from 2009. The uses in other wikis were replaced with the files you suggested. Cheers, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 08:40, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the discussions

Maybe we can get a chance to do some content work together. I value the image experts! TCO (talk) 19:07, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

No worries. I'm all for the different Wikimedia projects working together more. Feel free to chip in over here whenever you see the need. Most tasks are easy to get started with, and there's plenty to do. Cheers, —LX (talk, contribs) 10:39, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Yeah...you know your stuff. I like bringing in the "heavy hitters" so will weedle a bit of image review or other image help next FA/FL I have.  ;) TCO (talk) 02:16, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Request for Assistance with my uploads

I responded to your comment on my uploads. I am pretty new to commons, so if you could give me some guidance as to the best boxes to check when uploading, or additional information I should provide for any of the specific documents, it would be appreciated. Thanks. MineWatcher (talk) 13:49, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

He's done it again. Time for a permablock. Thanks.--ukexpat (talk) 15:09, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

I've put up a request at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections. —LX (talk, contribs) 16:46, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Underhandedly?

Please refrain from personal attacks. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 14:58, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

un·der·hand adv \ˈən-dər-ˌhand\: 1 a : in a clandestine manner. I stand by my position that blanking out a legitimate problem tag solely on your volition without discussion, notification or explanation of any kind is underhanded. I am sorry if you perceived it as an attack on your person; I solely intended it as what I believe is justified criticism of your actions in this particular case. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:17, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Look at the diffs for the explanation; you can read. And in English, to accuse someone of acting underhandedly is definitely a personal attack. "Clandestine" is not much better. Do not use the word again. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 15:26, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

The information required by Commons policy was not present before your edits, was not provided by your edits, and consequently, was still missing after you removed the problem tags that stated that the information was missing. The diffs did not explain the edits, and you did not discuss the blanking or notify anyone of your actions (whereas the uploader was notified when the problem tag was introduced). In fact, the second time I came across and tagged it, I didn't realise I had already tagged it before, because you removed the tag, well, in a manner that is unlikely to be noticed, whatever you would like to call that. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:46, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I gave clear edit summaries, and I made it clear that I saw no problems with copyright, indicating the reasons why. Now remove your gratuitous personal attacks please, if you care for a collegial working atmosphere. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 15:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

No, you did not. "Undo revision 40987921 by LX (talk)" didn't really make anything clear. Since I haven't made any personal attacks, I have nothing to remove. —LX (talk, contribs) 16:03, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
