The "Langswitch" template's original intended use was to autotranslate system interface messages. Its use for the titles of paintings etc. is actually dubious and problematic, while the way that you're trying to use it on File:Enseigne Alsacienne revolutionnaire.jpg is quite strange... AnonMoos (talk) 15:00, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the problem with using Langswitch in this way; I have done so in countless Feature Pictures and Quality Images without anybody ever complaining, and I have seen it used in this way by others. Furthermore, your edit on File:Enseigne Alsacienne revolutionnaire.jpg breaks its French caption. Rama (talk) 15:53, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Salut Rama. Tes photos dans Category:COMEX diving sphere ont un problème de licence : tu les as mises sous {{PD-Art}} avec la mention « Reproduction of a painting that is in the public domain because of its age ».

Solvyns

Hello Rama,

First of all, i'd like to commend you on the quality of your photographs! It's good work you're doing.

I am interested in using one of your pictures of Solvyns' work, for illustrative inclusion in a book chapter i'm writing. Normally i am free to use his work as such, since there is no longer any copyright resting on it. However, i should mention the photographer. Are you ok with that? Also, in which way should reference you?

Kind regards,

Wim De Winter

Greetings,
thank you for your interest and your appreciation. You are indeed free to use the work without asking, but I am always glad to hear of people using an image I have contibuted, as it helps me direct my priorities towards the most useful subjects.
"Rama" would be fine, if you wish to mention the photographer (or any variant, like "Photograph by Rama", etc.).
My best wishes for you work,
Rama (talk) 19:42, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rotation

Hello, I notice you're the photographer of this image. I was wondering if I could entice you to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise because I feel it would be a little easier to look at. Thanks. CRRaysHead90 | We Believe! 17:54, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Awful photography

For the umpteenth time I've had to replace one of your images, in this case [[1]], which is awful beyond belief. If looks as if you've just taken a bunch of shots through the window of a camera shop and uploaded them without any attempt at asking the shopkeeper if you could loan it. If this is any indication of your work you're an absolutely useless photographer who seems to be incredibly persistent, which is a horrible combination. You're relentlessly spamming camera articles with sub-sub-sub-amateur rubbish and I find it offensive. It's demoralising. Why should I even bother if this is acceptable? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:08, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That seems rather harsh. We encourage all users to upload their work, and no one can learn to take good photos without taking bad ones first. Besides, images always exist until someone thinks that there's something better - it's the way wikis work. -mattbuck (Talk) 14:17, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Andrey Kashechkin - Andrey Kashechkin-IMG 1814.jpg

Hi - we'd like to use your image Andrey Kashechkin-IMG 1814.jpg as the new infobox image for w:Andrey Kashechkin. However, we want to crop the image before using it. Would we then upload the cropped version to replace your original, or upload it to Commons as an entirely new image, and if so, how? Please advise, as we don't want to make a mess of anything. THanks. Azx2 18:11, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - didn't hear back from you but wanted to let you know I uploaded a new, cropped derivative version of the Kash-image. It's here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Andrey_Kashechkin-IMG_1814-001.jpg. I left your original in place. Hope that was the correct approach. Cheers. Azx2 20:27, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Salut Rama.

Voudrais-tu me dire d'où provient cette photo ? Une autre version, sous un autre nom a subi une DR pour manque de source. Je ne sais plus qui a versé la version supprimée mais j'aurais bien aimé le savoir afin de lui poser la même question qu'à toi pour faire une demande de restauration et/ou pour indiquer une source sur la page du fichier restant. Si c'est une image pompée sur le web, elle risque aussi de disparaître. J'ai trouvé deux sites web qui utilisent chacun une version légèrement différente mais qui est identique, hormis les couleurs : [2] et [3]. Si je peux savoir où se trouve ce cœur, il me serait peut-être possible d'en faire une photo et de la verser, habitant dans un coin qui a été touché par les Guerres de Vendée.

Merci pour ta future réponse. --Llann .\m/ (Lie 2 me ...) 01:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour,
je n'ai malheureusement pas cette information. Toutefois, l'object (ou son design) a plus de 200 ans, de sorte qu'il est nécessairement dans le domaine public; pour le reste, les serveurs de Wikimedia et moi-même étions tous deux dans des pays qui ne reconnaissent pas de copyright ou de droit d'auteur pour la "reproduction servile", de sorte que l'image est en tout état de cause dans le domaine public.
Ceci dit, il est possible que cela ne satisfasse pas tout le monde sur Commons, et il est certain que ta photo serait probablement meilleure que celle-ci. Si tu pars en ballade dans les musées de ta région, j'espère que tu prendras un appareil photo.
Bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 06:49, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merci Rama. J'ai toujours mon APN + mon cellulaire et, généralement, ma femme a son compact. Ça tombe sous le sens que, si je vois ce cœur, je le prendrais.

Dupuy-de-Lome

Hello. I have a question for another big article on the French ship on the Polish Wiki. Could you confirm, if the first commander's name was Yuge? It is quoted in a Polish magazine, but it might be a poor translation from a Russian article, where the name was written only phonetically (Yu-g-e), so I don't know if it's correct. Regards. Pibwl (talk) 18:36, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is information on the intelligence ship on Netmarine [4], but I'm afraid I have nothing on the officers of the cruiser and the submarine. Cheers! Rama (talk) 20:44, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But does Yuge look acceptable in French? Thanks. Pibwl (talk) 21:03, 28 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yuge looks foreign, but it would depend on how you pronounce it...
Actually, from my understanding of how Russians transliterate names and my knowledge of French names, I'm fairly certain that a good guess for this name might be Hugues. But I have no easy mean to confirm it, sadly. Cheers! Rama (talk) 05:45, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
PS: or if the final "e" is pronounced, Huguet. Rama (talk) 15:37, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. As I've said, it was spelled Yuge in a Polish translation of this book, but considering, that a translator didn't bother to check proper spelling of Guyot Du Temple boiler, nor Louis de Bussy (translated as Bussie), I wouldn't trust it much :-) Pity. Pibwl (talk) 19:32, 1 September 2013 (UTC) By the way: is it OK to call this ship "Dupuy de Lôme" instead of "Dupuy-de-Lôme" (as in most old sources)?[reply]

Yes, "Dupuy de Lôme" and "Dupuy-de-Lôme" are equivalent. Cheers! Rama (talk) 19:47, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Rama, a long time ago you uploaded this and other Gradiva images. Comparison with the photo of the Gradiva in the Chiaramonti Museum shows clearly that you photographed a copy, not the original. Do you remember where you saw it and other details? I suggest to delete the redundant and inferior copy which as an admin you could do immediately. The commons gallery Gradiva is now not needed any more (I added the gallery to the images); also the description & notice at the head of the category I think could now also be removed (they anyway don’t apply to all the images). Unless you feel strongly about keeping them, I will delete them. Thanks and greetings --RM Vollmer (talk) 15:19, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
it is indeed a reproduction, which I own. At the time I though that it would be interesting to have these images since I could move freely around the object; of course, the reproduction is of a limited quality, and my photographic skills were even worse than they are now. I am sure that since that time, we have acquired have much better images, so thank you for your work in freshening this category and gallery.
Cheers and good continuation! Rama (talk) 19:51, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Rama, thanks for the information. I have two more questions:
1. What is the scale (approx.) of your preplica? I assume it is not a 1:1 copy?
2. Did you purchase it from the museum? Cheers --RM Vollmer (talk) 10:07, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. I think it must be a 1:1 reproduction. It's about 80 cm high, not an inconsequential object (I do not have it handy at the moment, else I'd measure it, sorry). I haven't found the dimensions of the original, but I think it is a plausible size for this sort of reliefs.
2. It was a gift, so I wouldn't know. Very likely from a museum shop, but not necessarly that of Chiaramonti.
Cheers! Rama (talk) 17:05, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks, Rama, and best wishes --RM Vollmer (talk) 15:30, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I found the height of the original relief to be given as 74 cm, so your cast will be of scale 1:1. The image file description has now all the details. Many thanks again for your help, --RM Vollmer (talk) 20:12, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

U766 emblem question

Hi,

I have found, that you have created U766 emblem, which is linked on the U766 wiki page. I mean this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:U-766.svg I'm very interested, what this emblem presents and what were your soruces, you have used to draw it?


Thanks, regards Maciek

I think I'd found this in a book, but I have no recollection of which one.
The emblem represents a red Chinese lantern.

French Gov Copyright

Hello Rama, some Wikipedians and I are working on the review of the Dunkerque-class battleship article on the german WP and I made a schematic drawing, showing the arrangement of its internal armor - like i did before for other battleships. It´s a simplified version of the old construction drawings of the "Marine Nationale". When I completed the work, I realised that I have no idea about it´s copyright status. Do you have any ideas on the matter? Alexpl (talk) 08:37, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
not really, but they are probably not clearly in the public domain. If you incorporate information from various sources, there will be a point where it will be fair to say that you used the plan as documentation for the information it contains, rather than to create a derivative of it; but you see that this is not the land of clear-cut cases.
Best of luck! Rama (talk) 19:18, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was afraid it would be something like that. Maybe one day Europe will learn from the US Gov PD - until that day I´ll better not upload this drawing. Thx. Alexpl (talk) 21:02, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Attribution

Hello Rama,

I am one of your photos at http://911coned.com/ just wanted to give you a heads up and thank you.

Could you please let me know the appropriate attribution to give to you? If possible, I was hoping to do something like "Photograph by Name" in the footer.

Thank you Fulldecent (talk) 17:39, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, and thank you for your interest,
you can attribute the photograph as "Rama, Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr"; mentioning the licence is important, as it allows other potential users of the photographs to use it as well, as you did yourself.
Happy new year,
Rama (talk) 12:16, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia in the European Parliament

Since 2009 Wikipedians are visiting German and Austrian State Parliaments to take pictures of their members. They have been made available under a free license on Wikimedia Commons. They can be used in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects but also outside of Wikipedia - in compliance with the license conditions - for example by the Members of Parliament themselves. Besides the creation of free pictures of politicians, the project offers the deputies the opportunity to ask questions about Wikipedia and to discuss „their“ Wikipedia article (eg. to indicate possible problems with personal rights). For Wikipedians this offers the chance to explain their idea of „Free Knowledge“ and the work of the Wikimedia projects. In addition these contacts give Wikipedia photographers access to places that are not accessible to the public in order to produce free images. We now have the opportunity to visit the European Parliament in Strasbourg in February and perform a photography and editing project for the 764 MEPs there. In particular as the next elections for the European Parliament are upcoming in May, these new articles and photos are under a strong focus of the public. Volunteers should sign up on our Google form - note the section on the Commons project page about selection. I would be happy to have a supporting voice from you for the Grant request on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:PEG/Olaf_Kosinsky/Wikipedians_in_European_Parliament --Olaf Kosinsky (talk) 19:52, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Variation of the Croix du Guerre WWII; Red and White French War Cross

Hello!

I came across the WIKI link you posted with the red and white Croix du Guerre here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Croix-de-guerre-contraste-IMG_0949.jpg

Can you tell me any more about the variation and why it was made? I have a ribbon bar of these colours with the bronze palm attached. For a long time I thought it was a Danish Resistance Medal because the medal looks IDENTICAL to this red and white variation of the Croix du Guerre.

I'm trying to research the variation in order to verify the ribbon bar I own.

THANK YOU! Please contact me at wwiifiles@gmail.com

Hello,
I think that this is simply a French Croix de Guerre 39-45, whose green has passed a bit. Maybe you should upload a photograph or scan of your medal, it would allow us to compare and could be a valuable addition to Commons.

Utilisation de votre photo

Bonjour,

Je m'appelle Guillaume, j'ai créé une image de jaquette CD pour un ami à partir de votre photo : [5] Je vous montre à quoi ressemble mon travail : [6]

Je trouve que ça ne ferait pas du tout joli esthétiquement de rajouter sur cette jaquette : "By Rama (Own work) [CC-BY-SA-2.0-fr (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.en)], via Wikimedia Commons" comme m'indique de faire Wikimedia. Alors est-il possible de ne pas rajouter cette mention ?

Je vous laisse mon adresse email pour me répondre : guillaumecohen@orange.fr Merci :)

Bonjour, et merci pour votre intérêt pour mon image.
Vous pouvez vous mettre en conformité avec la license en indiquant simplement "Rama, Cc-by-sa-2.0" (même si la mention de Wikimedia est appréciée). Ceci dit, rien ne vous force à mettre cette mention sur l'avant de la jaquette : vous pouvez parfaitement apposer la mention en petit sur la face arrière de la boîte du CD, ou à l'intérieur de la boîte. L'idée est d'aider un utilisateur potentiel de l'image, pas de défigurer votre travail.

Hi Rama! Policies regarding downloading your images from Wikimedia Commons

Hello Rama!

What policies do you have regarding downloading your images from Wikimedia Commons?

I intend to create a commercial website and I intend to use free imagery for commercial purposes on my future website. Since I respect copyright laws and people's integrity, it's important to me that everything goes by the book.

So here are my questions:

1) Do I need to provide you with my future website URL? Is this necessary at all?

2) Do I need to give you my full name and notify you at all whenever I would like to download your images? Do I need to somehow confirm to you that I have or intend to download some of your images?

3) When/if I post some of your images on my website, do I need to provide a link or URL to Wikimedia Commons, saying "Picture/Image By Rama"?

/John (you can reach me at johnwalkertheman007@gmail.com)

Greetings,
I take the liberty of quickly answering your questions with the same numbering:
1) I would appreciate being notified, as this allow me to know which of my images are the most useful and adapt my production. It is however absolutely not required.
2) None of these is required.
3) You need to credit the author (Rama) and mention the licence (Cc-by-sa-2.0.fr). Mentionning Wikimedia Commons and putting a link to the orignal image would be appreciated, as it would be convenient for other potential users, but is not a requirement.
You might want to have a look at User:Rama/use my images, which will give a few examples and explanations of the spirit behind what is required, appreciated without being required, or unnecessary. Do not hesitate to ask me further is a question remains unsolved.
Best regards, Rama (talk) 20:41, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dentelles

bonsoir madame, je suis actuellement en phase finale de rédaction d'un livre (aux éditions eyrolles) consacré à la dentelle au fuseau et je recherche des photos de différents types de dentelles afin d'illustrer mon livre .

Toutes ces images sont sous licence libre, ce qui vous donne le droit de les utiliser, modifiées ou telles quelles, et pour tout usage y compris commercial. Les dentelles File:Dentelle-IMG 6851.jpg, File:Dentelle-IMG 6852.jpg et File:Dentelle-IMG 6816.jpg sont des produtions récentes d'un club qui pratique la dentelle traditionelle de Neuchâtel près de Môtiers. File:Dentelle-IMG 6839.jpg et File:Dentelle-IMG 6818.jpg sont des exemplaires historiques (peut-être fin du XIXème siècle ou début XXème). File:Dentelle-IMG 6834.jpg est un détail de File:Dentelle-IMG 6839.jpg.
Je me permets de porter à votre attention que les crédits devraient mentionner la licence, Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr. La page User:Rama/use my images vous donnera un peu plus de détails et des exemples, mais n'hésitez pas à me demande si quelque chose demeurait obscure.

Pics from GEO-X meeting in Geneva January -2014

RAMA - two of the pictures in your library from the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Summit in Geneva in January are captioned as Suzette Kimball, but the person is actually Anne Bartuska. If you are able to make that change, we would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again for great work. - Bob Samors Group on Earth Observations, Geneva

Dear Bob,
thank you very much for your interest and for your very helpful information. I have re-labeled and renamed the files File:Anne Bartuska-IMG 9988.jpg and File:Anne Bartuska-IMG 9986.jpg accordingly. Do not hesitate to contact me again if anything else needs to be done, or if I can be of any assistance.

I am currently working on a self-published science-fiction novel and I would like to use the image of the gladius you uploaded.

Thank you in advance,

You are most welcome. You should credit the photograph and state its licence, see User:Rama/use my images for examples. Best regards, Rama (talk) 22:36, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How to attribute the photo to you?

How should your name be cited for photo credit? "Photo by Rama"?

Dear Sir,

I wish to use your plate photo in the following context as either a graphic or URL, if you please. It is to be published as a Book with a most likely title of "Inspired Truth, Not a Normal Book."

Your picture as referenced in the title will appear as an illustration to an Essay in a book... "Inspired Truth, Not a Normal Book" for sale in the historical context of meditation/prayer.

My understanding is that no royalty will be due. Is this correct? Y/N.

Please advice the acceptability of same.

Thank you for your consideration,

Did u check that? Cause I'm not 100% sure.--Sanandros (talk) 09:47, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's really not like I am an expert, but it seems that the SIG Pro has a triangular button to eject the magazine, while the SIG P226 has a sort-of-circular one; also, the bottom part of the trigger guard is straight on the P226, and features an angle on the SIG Pro. There are variants of the P226 with accessory rails, so it is very possible that I might have mislabelled the file when uploading. It has been a while since I have taken this photograph, I could not remember precisely what model I was told it was at the time, sorry. Cheers! Rama (talk) 13:45, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour Rama,

Contributeur occassionnel sur Wikipedia, j'ai reçu une aide précieuse de la part de Theoliane pour un article que j'ai rédigé voici un an maintenant. Ayant proposé récemment une nouvelle contribution sur l'artiste numérique Bernard Demiaux, article que j'ai sourcé rigoureusement, il apparaît un bandeau de sources insuffisantes et je ne sais que faire. Votre aide me serait d'une grande utilité, une relecture également (même si vous êtes contributeur en langue anglaise :) Ou peut-être pouvez-vous me conseiller d'autres contributeurs avisés ? En l'attente de votre réponse, je vous remercie infiniment par avance !

Bonjour,
si vous lisez ce mail malgré le retard de ma réponse, je vous conseillerais de faire appel à l'Atelier de lecture ou l'Atelier de relecture, où devraient se trouver des gens prêts à vous suggérer des pistes. Bonne chance ! Rama (talk) 20:00, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question pointue

Salutations. En créant wikt:fr:uchigatana (d'ailleurs si tu connais la prononciation...), je me suis aperçu que plusieurs Wikipédias utilisaient ton image Media:Katana-bois-p1000654.jpg pour illustrer ce mot. Or, si tu l'as baptisé katana c'est qu'il doit y avoir une bonne raison. Pourtant ces lames me semblent significativement plus recourbées que mon katana et mon iaitō. J'en appelle donc à ton expertise stp. JackPotte (talk) 21:05, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour,
tu t'y connais probablement mieux que moi, mais
  • "outchikatana"
  • uchigatana et katana sont plus ou moins synonymes (si je comprends bien l'uchigatana est le katana archétypal)
  • la courbure des lames change avec les modes, les personnes et les qualités : la lame idéale est faite sur mesure en fonction de la taille et du style du possesseur, et sa courbure varie le long de la lame (c'est plus compliqué qu'une portion de cercle). Pendant les périodes de guerre, on se retrouve à produire de la ferraille en masse pour des raisons utilitaires plutôt que de faire du bel artisanat, et la qualité s'en ressent.
  • Il me semble que la courbure prononcée est un truc hérité des tachi, qui sont des armes de cavalerie à porter sur une armure (essaye de dégainer un katana en portant une cuirasse, c'est quasi impossible); le Japon une fois pacifié par les Tokugawa, les lames se portaient plus sur des vêtements souples, d'où développement des techniques de dégainage d'iaidō que tu connais et pour lesquelles une courbure modérée est préférable. C'est un peu le même esprit que l'escrime italienne de la renaissance, où l'abandon des grosses épées de guerre et du bouclier conduit à adopter la rapière, qui fusionne les deux et permet de développement de techniques fluides et formalisées, ce qui entraîne à son tour le développement de la colichemarde et de l'épée de cour.
Ceci dit, il serait plus sage de demander à quelqu'un qui y connait un tout petit peu quelque chose :p

Universal replace

Faisant suite à notre conversation sur IRC, je note ici la procédure pour demander à CommonsDelinker de remplacer une image A par une image B sur l'ensemble des projets hébergés sur notre cluster.

Il convient de rajouter une commande formatée à l'aide d'un modèle sur la page User:CommonsDelinker/commands:

{{universal replace|image A.svg|image B.svg}}

L'agent automatisé traite les demandes toutes les 30 minutes.

Vues d'artiste des satellites Sentinel

Bonjour Rama, Merci pour la réalisation des vues d'artiste de ces satellites qui permettent d'illustrer les articles correspondant. Une remarque concernant l'illustration de Sentinel-1. La principale caractéristique de celui-ci est d'emporter une antenne radar de grande taille qui donne une apparence bien particulière à ce type de satellite. On peut la voir par exemple sur les illustrations figurant dans ce document de l'Agence spatiale européenne ou dans les illustrations de cette page. --Pline (talk) 18:21, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour,
ces vues sont en fait des photographies détourées d'une maquette. Je dois avoir mal interprété ce que je voyais et supposé que l'antenne faisait partie du support qui la soutenait. J'ai peur de ne pas avoir gardé les photographies originales, c'est dommage. Mais il devrait toujours y avoir moyen de retoucher les photos pour ajouter l'antenne, en signalant l'altération.
Merci pour cette très intéressante précision, et bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 18:46, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Photo supprimée sans avertissement préalable

Bonjour Rama. Je ne suis pas content. Je découvre aujourd'hui que tu as supprimé une photo que j'ai faite de la signature du peintre Edgard Maxence (File:Lourdes église Rosaire mosaïques Ascension signature.JPG) sans me prévenir au préalable, et sans aucune explication. Certes, ce peintre est décédé en 1954 mais cette photo ne représente qu'une partie très limitée d'un tableau beaucoup plus imposant réalisé en 1899 que je n'ai volontairement pas déposé sur commons, et que je me suis noté pour 2025. De plus, elle prouve l'orthographe réelle du prénom de cet artiste, parfois erroné. Cela fait des années que je dépose des photos sur commons et c'est la première fois qu'on me rejette un extrait correspondant à la signature d'un artiste. N'existe-t-il pas une exception pour les extraits minimes (pour cette photo, environ 2 % de la surface du tableau) d'œuvres  ? Père Igor (talk) 21:17, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour,
désolé de t'avoir contrarié. Cette image était l'une parmi d'autres dans une catégorie étonamment fortement peuplée pour un copyvio aussi évident, du coup j'ai tout supprimé sans faire beaucoup dans le détail.
La signature en elle-même me semble passer comme non-coprightable, mais ton argument de minimis me semble un peu limite, vu les parties de la mosaïque qu'on voit autour; j'aurais tendance à dire qu'en l'état, ça ne passe pas. Ceci dit, je ne connais pas la mosaïque entière, de sort que nous n'avons pas le même point de vue sur la chose, et tu pourrais me trouver biaisé du fait que c'est moi qui ai supprimé l'image.
Ceci dit, le remède est facile: utiliser ton image pour en extraire la signature. On pourrait même la sortir en SVG. Si ça t'arrange, je peux m'en charger.
Bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 21:45, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
À titre de comparaison, l'œuvre globale est une des chapelles de la basilique de Lourdes et a donc les mêmes dimensions que la mosaïque de cette autre chapelle. L'extrait que j'ai importé (la signature) ne représente qu'environ 2 % de l'œuvre totale, visible ici, photo du bas, au centre. On y voit un morceau de robe dont dépasse le bout d'un pied et le haut de nombreuses lettres majuscules. Si tu es d'accord, je peux la réimporter, en coupant encore plus les bords mais il me parait intéressant de conserver la particularité que représente cette signature sur une mosaïque, avec la date 1899, et la mention « pinxit », qui indique que c'est lui qui l'a peinte. Si tout va bien d'ici là pour toi comme pour moi, tu pourras juger en janvier 2025 de la place minime qu'occupe cette signature par rapport à l'ensemble. Père Igor (talk) 10:21, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Est-ce que cette version File:Lourdes église Rosaire mosaïques Ascension signature-cropped.JPG te paraîtrait aller ? Je peux te restaurer le fichier File:Lourdes église Rosaire mosaïques Ascension signature.JPG si tu n'as plus l'original et que tu préfères retailler toi-même, tiens-moi au courant.
En espérant qu'on aille tous bien en 2025 et que le droit d'auteur n'ait pas été porté à des durées absurdes d'ici là. Bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 11:04, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK pour ta nouvelle version. Merci. Père Igor (talk) 13:02, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
