City of Toronto archives shots[edit]

Thanks for uplaoding these images. If you can, it's usually better to upload these images from your hard drive, rather than directly from Flickr using Magnus bot, because COTA images typically need to be cropped to remove the notation (and it's a bit of a hassle to do it after the upload). Thanks. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:04, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, don't have the time to crop and upload.Oaktree b (talk) 03:48, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You do understand that you are creating more work for other people? We all upload images sometimes that need a crop, but doing it repeatedly just adds to the backlog of work that others need to do. At a minimum, please add a {{Crop}} tag.--Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:03, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

adding a box[edit]

Could you please update the comment you added to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Osama bin Laden making a video at his compound in Pakistan-2.jpg to put a box around the e-mail message? I'll help make it stand out better from the discussion. For example.

This is an example of the e-mail.

Pull this message up in edit mode and you'll see how I did the box. There's the opening div at the beginning and a closing /div at the end. Thank you. Marc Kupper (talk) 01:36, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DoD response[edit]

So you got this email in response to your question about these Osama bin Laden images?--Chaser (talk) 03:28, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's the response that pops-up after you send the email, I guess they send the "official" response when they read your email. Sounds good enough for me to allow usage in Commons... Oaktree b (talk) 03:36, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So you're saying you haven't yet gotten a response that is specific to your question?--Chaser (talk) 20:47, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Final -re and -our weren't really perceived as "British spellings" at that time (more like non-Noah-Webster spellings...). -- AnonMoos (talk)

How can this be under a CC license? It should be either PD or copyright violation... AnonMoos (talk) 22:16, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Released under a CC license by the library that holds the document in their collection. Oaktree b (talk) 02:16, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That's nice -- the library presumably did not have the copyright on this leaflet assigned to it by the Japanese ministry of propaganda, and the mere act of mechanically scanning in a 2D source does not create any new copyright which is recognized by Wikimedia Commons policies. Therefore the copyright tags are still wrong. You can ask for a third opinion at Commons:Village pump/Copyright. AnonMoos (talk) 03:16, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

VOA images[edit]

Hello,

I didn't tag them, that was done by someone else. The problem is that these were not made by VOA, but by press agencies, and are therefore copyrighted. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:01, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Hi again, Oaktree b! :-) - Thanks four your description translations in File:Zentralbibliothek Solothurn - Abbildungen zur Länder u Völkerkunde - a0486.tif. However, I think they missed the fact that the illustrations are based on wordplay, i.e. puns on the names of city inhabitants. Of course I do not blame you for this at all, because, as you told me, you don't read German and translate the descriptions with the help of Google Translate, which of course can't detect puns :-). If one reads German, the nature of the puns is obvious, but I think it needs some explanation in the English and French description. I have tried to do this now in the English description - but as I don't write French, maybe you could adapt the French description based upon the now-revised English one? Would be great!

Doi călușari[edit]

I have posted an interim restoration of the image "Doi călușari" which largely addresses the issues it had. I may be able to tweak it a but further but I think it is now generally usable as an inline illustration. (See here) I note also that you are a railfan so I invite you to visit my Wikipedia userpage which has information about my railroad history and image contributions to WP, about my four books on North American railroad history (one of which is exclusively about Canadian railways), and links to my various railroad history websites.

Thanks for checking into this. The new branch is Fort York, but as you've stated, it doesn't appear to be included in the library's KML file. Mindmatrix 14:36, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It appears to be on the plot of land immediately east of Bathurst and south of the rail lands (see branch info map). My best guess is 43.64N, 79.40W (Google Maps link), give or take depending on where you want to centre it. Mindmatrix 14:50, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Connick image[edit]

You uploaded File:Harry+Conick+Jr+at+LOC+event+-+main.jpg claiming it was taken by Abby Brack of the Library of Congress but gave the source as VoA. The only image I can find at LOC by Abby Brack is the one on this webpage which is not the same as the VoA source image which is attributed to the AP. There are other images from the same event online possibly aken by other attendees. So my question is, are you sure the image is properly attributed? I was tring to find the LOC source in order to add the correct LOC digital ID which is missing from the LOC template. Just drop me a talkback or ping me. Ww2censor (talk) 18:36, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

At the time, it was tagged on the Voice of America website as being a photo made by the LOC. Loading the link now, it seems to be an AP photo. It can be deleted; I get these popping up now and again, it seems the LOC was not properly attributing their photo sources. Oaktree b (talk) 20:05, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This Wayback Machine archive page does indeed attribute the image to Abby Brack. Do we even know if she is/was an employee of the LOC? If not either way I think I'll nominate it for deletion is you agree. Ww2censor (talk) 16:22, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it seems she was an employee of the Library of Congress, might be ok to leave it. See http://www.abbybrack.com/pages/3/About/About/ Oaktree b (talk) 22:49, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nelson's Pillar, Dublin[edit]

How do you know that this image was released into the public domain by the NLI? You added a release statement tot he image but I doubt it can be verified. The direct NLI link lists the author as Michael S. Walker and a search of his work indicates he was still active in 1988 and maybe even later, so the image cannot be in the public domain. The NLI has just not got any more information but we can deduce a copyright range date from their catalogue. Please let me know what you think. Ww2censor (talk) 10:12, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to the photo of Nelson's Pillar [[1]] it was posted on the NLI Flickr Commons photostream. They only allow photos in the public domain, so the NLI holds the rights to the photo and released it into the public domain. Oaktree b (talk) 13:21, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually that is not true they did not release it in the the public domain they released it as "no known copyright restrictions" which is entirely different. A few such images have been deleted because the photographer was not dead 70 years as with this one. I think it is actually still in copyright because the NLI's catalogue lists the author as Michael S. Walker. A search of their holding shows he was still active in 1988 and maybe even later, so its copyright status is actually unclear. The "no known copyright restrictions" tag states that one should add additional copyright tags to this image if more specific information about copyright status can be determined which puts the onus on us and not on the institution. The NLI tag does not verify the image is in the public domain, just that they don't know of any restriction. I've been dealing with copyright issues for a long time and that's my take on it. I though perhaps you had researched it more and found some verification that it is in the public domain. Thanks anyway. Ww2censor (talk) 14:29, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

VOA[edit]

There are many files under VOA on commons after 2013. I though the discussion was still going on at Commons:Deletion_requests/Template:PD-USGov-VOA. Is it now clarified that we can not use VOA file after june 2013 ? (see a request of deletion discussed here File talk:Phurbu T. Namgyal.jpg). Best wishes. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 11:27, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for your response. Do you think I could use {{PD-USGov-VOA|yes this is original VOA work, not by AP or AFP etc=yes}} and place it myself on files that I uploaded under VOA license? This may help work of verification. However, it should be stated in this tag "between 1998 and June 2013", so something like {{PD-USGov-VOA|yes this is original VOA work between 1998 and June 2013, not by AP or AFP etc=yes}} --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 16:21, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The current tag {{PD-USGov-VOA|yes this is original VOA work, not by AP or AFP etc=yes}} correspond to Category:PD VOA (VOA). It is meant to correspond to non AP/AFP file.

The Romanian river monitors[edit]

Greetings. I noticed one of your works, called "Sergeant serving on NMS Catargiu" or something, and I was wondering: could you please create a file for the actual Lascăr Catargiu river monitor? I found a picture of her here, together with Brătianu. There's also a rather small picture with Mihail Kogălniceanu here, or a general digital model for a Romanian monitor of the class here, from Photobucket. Or, if neither of these can be used, maybe you can at least create English versions of the Russian files used here. Either way, please, at least 1 picture. For it is a shame, that these vessels, the largest and most powerful Danube warships, of almost 700 tons, to have actually no picture file of them on the English Wiki. 79.118.118.244 15:04, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder: Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2016 is open![edit]

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear Oaktree b,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh 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 (2016) 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 1475 candidate images. There are 58 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.

Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote »

Thanks,
--Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 08:42, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

A goat for you![edit]

Hi there, I was wondering if it was at all possible to use your image that you posted to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_van_attack#/media/File:Toronto_Remembers_2018.jpg. I work for RNAO and we wanted to use an image like this just to say thank you to the people who have donated blood and Sunnybrook Hospital. you can reach me at azarboni@rnao.ca. For now, I was going to grab the image and use it with attribution on the article page. Let me know if this is okay. I hate using images without express permission. - Adam Zarboni

There seem to be duplicate versions of the Atlas of Canada's 1957 railway map at File:1957 Railway Map Atlas of Canada.pdf and File:1957 Railway Map of Canada 083.pdf.

RE:Category:National Register of Historic Places[edit]

Thank you for all the photos that you are uploading to the Commons for the Wiki Loves Monuments event. You are correctly putting multiple images of the same building/object into a category for that building/object. However, you are leaving Category:National Register of Historic Places in place. Because this is a main category it does not include images and categories of individual properties. Because of the sheer volume of images that you have uploaded, you have flooded this category with images that must now be removed from that category. If you are going to continue to upload more images could you please remove that category from the individual images? Could you also go through the images that are there and remove the category? I did some yesterday, but there are so many now and this is a situation that you created. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Farragutful (talk) 11:59, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Kevin from Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States here. I know it's been a tough year for everyone, and I hope this message finds you well.

You are receiving this message as a participant in last year's Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in the United States. First, a recap: We concluded with over 5,200 great photos of U.S. historical sites made possible by contributors like you. If you haven't yet seen, last year's U.S. winners are viewable here, and the international winners here (including multiple from the United States!).

Second, as you may have seen from the banner notices on Wikipedia, this year's Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in the United States has been running through October instead of September in consideration of the pandemic and the hectic start of the fall season. Despite the challenges of the year, we're thrilled that the United States has surpassed 5,000 photo contributions so far.

You can find all your pictures in your upload log, and are of course very welcome to keep uploading images and help develop Wikimedia Commons, even though you will not be able to win more prizes (just yet). To make future contests even more successful than this year, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in a short survey.

Please fill in this short survey and help us learn what you liked and didn't like about Wiki Loves Monuments 2020.

OGLO[edit]

Bonjour Oaktree b,

Il y a quelques années, vous aviez parlé de la Open Government License - Ontario. Savez-vous s'il y a, sur Commons, des fichiers qui utilisent cette licence ? Savez-vous si le gouvernement ontarien utilise cette licence de manière importante ou seulement rarement ? -- Asclepias (talk) 18:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

J'ai fait un téléchargement de quelques fichiers avec cette license... Le gouvernement l'utilise de façon assez importante, sur le site web https://data.ontario.ca/fr/. L'élection ici a changé la volonté du gouvernement en quelque sorte, mais la OGL (Open Government License) semble encore valide. Voici le texte francophone du OGL https://www.ontario.ca/fr/page/licence-du-gouvernement-ouvert-ontario Oaktree b (talk) 00:00, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017 and Wiki Science Competition 2019, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2021 has started in the whole world. It is now completed in Russia (active in May), but it's still open in almost all the other countries.

If you want to take part in WSC2021, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, we remind you that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

Please keep in mind that there is a new category this year, that is "astronomy".

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase, please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2020.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

File:Canadian Pacific RDCs One Evening at Mount Laurier, Quebec -- 4 Photos - 34289323346.jpg[edit]

Hi, Do you think File:Canadian Pacific RDCs One Evening at Mount Laurier, Quebec -- 4 Photos - 34289323346.jpg could be deleted, given that it is an almost duplicate of File:Canadian Pacific RDCs One Evening at Mount Laurier, Quebec -- 4 Photos (34289323346).jpg? The difference being the colour change on the latter. -- Asclepias (talk) 18:41, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've been uploading images taken from Chronicling America.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth 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 (2022) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
