Etui à cigarettes

Salut.

Ceci pour t'informer que j'ai tenté quelque chose sur ton étui à cigarettes délicieusement fin de siècle en nacre et néanmoins monégasque. ça me parait mieux, mais comme d'hab, ne te sens pas gêné de revenir à l'original si ça ne te plaît pas.

Your comments about your artwork would be helpful

Rama, thanks very much for your educational and valuable contributions to Wikimedia Commons! ;)

I know you've already commented in the past, None of these images are traced, because doing so would be trivially a derivative work..

However, in this case to settle all possible questions, we could really use more descriptive info at File:DCNG-levrette.jpg and a comment at Commons:Deletion requests/File:DCNG-levrette.jpg.

Images - derivative works

Hi Rama, whilst I am assuming good faith with your images, and also whether you knew that certain images were derivative works or not, I think that you should be commenting on whether you drew images free-hand without using other images as a guide. At Commons:Deletion requests/File:Masturbation.jpg I had to delete an image that you drew because it was a derivative work of a copyrighted image. This issue was previously discussed at Commons:Village_pump/Archive/2009Aug#Possible_copyright_violation. There are other images now under discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:DCNG-levrette.jpg, which will also affect these images (Special:Search/DCNG). It is pertinent to know whether you did used images to draw the free-hand variant from (still derivative works) or not; otherwise our precautionary principle will have to apply. If you could please comment on this, it would be appreciated. You can do so, if you wish, by emailing me. russavia (talk) 11:39, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, but I am not interested. Cheers! Rama (talk) 14:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving talk page

Hi again Rama, is there any chance you could archive your talk page, as it is extraordinarily long, and it is taking a long time to load, even on fast connections. If you could do that, it would be great. Cheers, russavia (talk) 13:30, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings,

I'm actually really not sure I can. Sorry.

On a more positive note, I have hopes for one of the photographs you've requested on Commons:Picture requests. I might be able to do something about the Russian consulate of Marseille next week (I hope the building is old enough). I'll keep you posted.

Cheers! Rama (talk) 22:31, 22 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion

Hi Rama, just letting you know that your entire collection of images at Category:Sex drawings by User:Rama has been nominated for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests/All images in Category:Sex drawings by User:Rama, for the same reason as the images you were told about above (we believe they may be based closely on non-free photographs). We really need more information from you if we're going to keep these - anything you can offer could help save a lot of useful images. Please comment! Thank you. Dcoetzee (talk) 13:11, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rama, I urge you to please give us more input about your artwork and provide some feedback to assist in this discussion. It'd be much appreciated, -- Cirt (talk) 02:16, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no interest in being involved in discussions which presuppose that I am of bad faith. This seems to be the case here, it certainly was the case before. The nominated images may constitute "a lot of useful images" in your view, but they are nothing to me. I just drew them. I contribute to Commons when and how it pleases me to do so, while already dedicating enough extra unrewarding efforts with OS work out of shear philanthropy as it is. With all due respect, this Deletion Request is ridden with insulting judgements of value and intellectual laziness (For instance, what is mentionned as "photos of a public domain sculpture without indicating the source of the photos (File:Spearhead-IMG_5357.jpg, File:Spearhead-IMG 5356.jpg)" are in fact two self-authored photographs of German spear heads of the late Middle Ages or Renaissance, on display at the Landesmuseum Württemberg, and you fail to note that I deleted these images myself. There elements are plainly there for anyone to notice should one care to look); the previous one was insulting and politically motivated. I don't see why I should enter this realm to help people sort out a problem that they have created themselves. Rama (talk) 14:08, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Défaut d'auteur

Pour cette image (Chuck Kennedy - The Official White House Photostream - P060409CK-0199 (pd).jpg) qui est apparue brièvement en QI tu as évoqué un défaut d'auteur. Or elle est en VI et je me demande si je dois rétracter mon vote. Où puis-je trouve des informations sur ce sujet? MErci...

Bonjour,

en fait ça n'est pas exactement un défaut, mais simplement que c'est une photographie prise par un photographe officiel de la Maison Blanche, Chuck Kennedy, et uploadée depuis Flickr par ComputerHotline. Or, seules les images produites par des contributeurs à Wikimédia sont éligibles en QI, et si ComputerHotline est un contributeur (et de taille), ça ne semble pas être le cas de Chuck Kennedy. Mais je ne crois pas qu'il y ait de restriction formelle de ce genre à l'éligibilité pour les VI, donc ça ne devrait pas poser de problème.

C'est vraiment une question de pure forme, la photo est par ailleurs excellente.

Greetings, and thank you for your interest. The photograph in question was scanned from a book of early photographs, which I am not sure I still have. It was probably a Taschen book or some similar edition (something like this [1]).

Pacini: La Marine

Hello Rama, thanks a lot for uploading those sketches. May I suggest though that you use |Author={{Creator:Antoine Léon Morel-Fatio}} and {{PD-Art-100}} instead? PD-art (70 years pma) is generally not sufficient since all free media must also be PD in the United States. See also the disclaimer in the PD-art tag. That way though we get a link plus biographical data of the author and an appropriate license. Regards, De728631 (talk) 21:12, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I'll let Commonist finish the upload and I'll thing about a script to do that. Cheers! Rama (talk) 21:23, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed also that not all those images are by Morel-Fatio. E.g. the coloured uniforms like File:La Marine-Pacini-78.png were made by the brothers Pauquet, see the signatures and this. De728631 (talk) 21:37, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Illustration pour le SMS Regensburg

Bonjour,

je n'ai pas trouvé l'endroit où faire la demande pour ce type d'illustration, donc je viens directement te voir vu qu’apparemment tu as déjà fait pas mal d'image de ce type. Je cherche à avoir une illustration de ce type pour ce bateau. Il n'y a pas d'image libre de disponible alors que l'article devrait bientôt être proposé au BA sur FR (et est déjà GA sur EN). Du coup si tu fais encore ce type de travail, ces articles ne pourraient qu'en être plus intéressants...

J'ai trouvé les images suivantes qui pourraient sans doute d'aider :

J'ai aussi une illustration que je peux t'envoyer (photo d'un livre), mais elle est moins bonne que la 2sd image fournie.

Si tu as un peu de temps, peux tu me tenir au courant (plutôt en passant sur mon comptesur Wikipédia) ?

Armes en QI

Bonjour Rama,

J'apprécie beaucoup la collection d'armes que tu nous délivres en ce moment.

Le fond rouge originel se reflète hélas de façon très agressive parfois sur le métal, et ceci sur presque tous les spécimens, pourtant de haute valeur documentaire (très bien, le sabre de Masséna !) et donc ça ne va ni sur fond noir, ni sur fond blanc. J'ai eu le même problème avec cette image (cf ses différentes versions), et je m'en suis finalement tiré (à peu près) en désaturant le rouge au maximum (mais pas complètement sinon ça fait de vilaines marbrures). Il y aurait aussi une solution que je n'ai découverte qu'après: détourer en .png avec un calque, sauvegarder en transparence, et rajouter un calque derrière avec un fond rouge uni prélevé à la pipette sur le fond d'origine. Je l'ai fait pour certains marbres du Louvre dont la texture minérale reflétait le fond orange d'origine, que j'ai donc conservé, mais en en sélectionnant une valeur moyenne à partir du fond réel, ce qui présente aussi l'avantage d'avoir quelque chose d'uni, mettant en valeur l'objet, et en douceur en plus !

Bien à toi, --Jebulon (talk) 16:46, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bonjour, et merci beaucoup pour ton message !

C'est en effet un problème assez épineux (d'autant qu'étant daltonien, je ne m'aventure dans l'espace des couleurs qu'à mes risques et périls). Ceci dit, je trouve que l'expérience de ce musée est très instructive : les contraintes de photographies à main levée qui nous sont habituelles me font m'obséder quelque peu pour les trépieds ; or, voici un exemple de campagne de photos où le fond suffit à poser de graves problèmes (sans parler de l'éclairage). Cet enseignement sera précieux pour les campagnes photographiques de l'avenir.

Merci pour ton conseil, je vais essayer d'aller plus dans le sens de File:Sabre-IMG 4717-4714-red.jpg et d'en reproposer. Finalement, il y a entre le bordeau et l'amaranthe de belles couleurs qui ont en plus l'avantage de ne pas rendre confuses les silouhettes sombres ou claires, comme le blanc et le noir.

Encore merci et bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 05:50, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: et puis j'ai appris des choses amusantes sur les petits Montmorency de la Garde nationale. Rama (talk) 06:12, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Qui aime bien...

Salut Rama.

Je vais "décliner" cette candidate en QIC. Le masquage est plein de petites erreurs, des taches grises à peu près tout autour. C'est rattrapable, mais la plaque en elle-même n'est pas assez nette, et je trouve que ton découpage autour manque de douceur. Trop raide, il supprime à mon avis toute impression de relief à l'objet, qui a l'air d'être plat. Par ailleurs, la photo n'est pas assez nette à mon avis.

J'en suis désolé, j'espère que tu ne m'en voudras pas de "jouer le jeu"...

Amicalement, --Jebulon (talk) 15:57, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bien au contraire : sans la liberté de blâmer, il n'est point d'éloge flatteur. C'est en signalant ces défauts, que j'ai peine à voir à voir de manipuler les images trop longtemps, que tu me permets de refaire des tentatives plus fructueuses.

Maman les p'tits bateaux, qui vont sur l'eau...

Bonjour,

je reviens vers toi après ton travail sur le SMS Regensburg pour un autre travail de ce type (un peu plus compliqué cependant). Il s’agirait d'une illustration pour La Tanche, qui devrait sans doute passer par une labellisation après des relectures. Le problème vient du manque d'illustration, et comme il s'agit d'une simple bateau de pêche, il n'y a pas beaucoup de documentation disponible. J'ai quand même trouvé ça, ça, ou encore [2], mais ça reste très limité. Si jamais tu as un peu de temps, et que tu penses pouvoir faire quelque chose à partir de ces sources, l'article n'en serait que mieux.

D'avance merci, XIIIfromTOKYO (talk) 10:11, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Salut,

en fait, nous avons plus de chance que tu ne le crois. Tu as raison sur le point que la Tanche est un navire de type chalutier, mais il a été construit comme patrouilleur pour la Marine nationale. Du coup, il y a des photos disponibles de l'Albette [3][4], du même type, que l'on peut aussi utiliser comme référence.

Je vais voir ce que je peux faire avec ça, mais si tu trouves autre chose, photographie ou description précise, ça sera toujours utile. Je te tiens au courant. Rama (talk) 12:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A mon avis, c'est l' "Ablette", pas l' "Albette". Pardon. Je sors.--Jebulon (talk) 15:01, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exact, désolé pour la coquille. C'est parce que j'ai l'habitude de nom simples où l'on ne risque pas l'erreur, comme La Motte-Picquet, Dupetit-Thouars, Latouche-Tréville ou Châteaurenault, mais là c'était un nom compliqué. C'est curieux, chez les marins, ce besoin de faire des phrases... Rama (talk) 19:40, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seifallah Lasram

Salut,
Il semble y avoir erreur sur la personne ici : File:Seifallah Lasram-IMG 5676.JPG et File:Seifallah Lasram-IMG 5677.JPG. En effet, Seifallah Lasram est visible ici. Or, il semble évident qu'il ne s'agit pas de la même personne. De plus, son écharpe rouge et jaune ne me semble pas celle portée en Tunisie. Peut-être vérifier quels étaient les autres invités à la cérémonie ? Cordialement Moumou82 (talk) 19:02, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Salut, et merci pour ta vigilence ! Par contre, pour le coup, je me demande bien qui ça peut être. Je n'ai malheureusement pas plus d'information sur les autres invités. J'espère que j'ai quand même une photo de Lasram, mais j'ai peur de l'avoir raté, du coup.

merci encore et bonne continuation ! Rama (talk) 19:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bonsoir. -- Au moment de voter pour ta photo, j'ai constaté que le bâtiment du fond penche légèrement vers la gauche. Je te le signale ici, n'ayant pas encore pris l'habitude des commentaires sur la page QI et préférant quelques phrases de français à quelques mots anglais parfois un peu secs à mon goût... même si, souvent, ils sont salutaires. -- Par ailleurs, en naviguant (avec satisfaction) dans ta collection de photos, je suis tombé sur un script consacré au focusstacking. Comme j'utilise Linux, je l'ai importé et vais tenter de m'en servir car la profondeur de champ en photo rapprochée me pose des problèmes. Merci d'avoir mis cette page à la disposition de tous.

Bonne chance avec le script, je serais curieux de voir ce que ça donne. Un effet de bord amusant, c'est que comme il sélectionne pour chaque partie de l'image la version qui contient le plus d'information, ça marche aussi pour faire du HDR avec un tonemapping assez discret.

Blown-out skies and RAW files

Hello Rama, I come here because the discussion in the QIC page was getting a bit too long. I don't know if you develop your images out of RAW files or go directly for JPEG. Since I "moved" to RAWs I have the impression that I have total control of the pictures when I want to process them. If the contrast of the pictures is for example very stressed then I can balance it applying more brightness to the shadows and reducing the recovering the blown-out areas reducing the exposure. In a JPEG there is no possibility to recover a blown out sky easily because the information about how it was before the overexposure is gone, but this is not the case in a RAW file. I have got often overexposed areas in my picutres and fixing those spots has never been an issue. Regards, Poco a poco (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

yes, RAW formats usually add enough dynamic range for that to become possible. Unfortunately, I had to use JPEG format there because

1) I needed to shoot lots of frames; large flash cards are expensive, and I don't want to keep swapping them in the middle of an assignment;

2) I needed to shoot bursts to capture passing vehicles, and cameras get less responsive when buffering.

Cheers! Rama (talk) 08:04, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Morane-Saulnier MS.315-IMG 6055.jpg

hello Rama, isn't it a MS 317 and not a MS 315 ? The difference is small (engine level mainly) but the version number of this immat is corresponding to a 317 and the engine seems to be the continental one. 82.247.184.126 12:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't know the difference, and you are quite right according to the Swiss Aircraft Registry [5]. I'll change the documentation to reflect your finding. Congratulations and thank you! Rama (talk) 17:04, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

searching a certain sword

hi rama, I am searching for a certain sword and I found a pretty similar here, on one of your images. Do you have any information about the origin or age of the middle sword in this image? If you prefer, you can also write in german or french. Thank your for your help! --Feudiable (talk) 07:09, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The one with the lanyard? I think it's a Swiss infantry officer sabre of the 20th century. Does that sound plausible? Cheers! Rama (talk) 16:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, i mean the one, which's blade is slighly curved. It's because I found another (very similar) sword/sabre (whatever, I am not familiar with this subject) that looks like this and that. The blade of that one is about 50cm long and 3cm-3,5cm wide, the "grip" about 14cm in length. Anyway, it must be from switzerland or france or somewhere there. It has been passed in my family for I don't know how many generations. Thanks for your help! --Feudiable (talk) 22:10, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On my photograph, the weapon is a sabre called "briquet", an infantry sidearm of the Napoleonic era; it is a short, sturdy sabre on which you would fall back in case you'd lose your bayonet-fitted musket (if you can read French, there's an article at WP:fr [6]). This particular one is probably a replica.

The weapon you show is also a military sidearm of the era, but with its straight blade, it looks like a tool/weapon gladius typical of artillery corps (or possibly engineering; it these times, engineering was a sub-specialisation of artillery rather than an independant arm as now); now, I am no expert so this is a long shot, but I'd suspect a mid-19th or late-19th century weapon, because of the stylicised bird's beak of the pommel; here, you can see similary French weapons of the First Republic (with a rookster's head as pommel: File:Sabre d'honneur 45.JPG, File:Sabre-A-IMG 4740-black.jpg) of the First Empire (or is that a 1771 model? anyway, with a eagle head: File:Artillery gladius-IMG 4737-white.jpg). This sort of weapon was used by the foot artillery as a last-resort self-defence weapon, but was also used as a tool, hence the straight sturdy blade (like boarding sabres and axes, or like this worrying-looking IIIrd Reich Red Cross dagger File:Red Cross dagger Third Reich IMG 6810.jpg).

I don't think I can help you much beyond that, but that might hopefully might have given you some leads. Don't hesitate to ask me further if you need. Cheers! Rama (talk) 05:18, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for those informations, I now got a good impression about the background of this sabre which was more than I hoped to get anyway, so thank you very much! --Feudiable (talk) 09:39, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting permission to use your picture

Dear Rama,

I am working at the International medical university at Kuala Lumpur, malaysia. We are conducting an international conference in October 2013 on the topic 'Alternatives to animal models of testing'. I found a very interesting image done by you here. File:Lab mouse mg 3216.jpg. I would like to seek your permission to use this image on our conference brochure. What should I do? Will it be possible for me to use the file without writing 'RAMA' on it, since the image will be on the front page of the brochure? We will credit your name and license on our website. Is there any other way on how we can use your file on the brochure front page?

Kindly advise

Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

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. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Air France 447 image needing French

Hi, Rama! I thought all of the Air France 447 images had French, but I found one that doesn't yet have French: File:MapaAF447 Aeronáutica.jpg - Is it okay if you add French to this image? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 17:17, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

your French caption is impeccable. In particular, you have navigated all these treacherous past participles in a way that many native speakers find difficult. Congratulations!

If convenient and useful, I might seize this occasion to draw a SVG version of this map, so that its labels can be translated easily.

Cheers! Rama (talk) 18:20, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help wanted

Hello. I'm writing an article on "D'Entrecasteaux" cruiser, using among others Russian book. They name a French constructor, a secretary of Construction Board(?), an author of the first design of "Jeanne d'Arc" as colonial cruiser (built to a completey different design as an armoured cruiser). Unfortunately, the name is written in Russian - it would be something like Treboul / Trebouil. Could you possibly help, what is the proper name? Pibwl (talk) 21:56, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

my information is rather sparse, I'm afraid, and I can't provide information on your chap -- though if I had to guess, I'd reckon that the more likely form of his name would be "Tréboul". I think that the title is "Directeur des constructions navales" ("director for naval constructions"); this is a corps of senior civil servants.

I suppose that you know already, there have been two different ships: a "first class" cruiser (armoured oceanic cruiser) launched in 1896, and the "aviso colonial" D'Entrecasteaux (it's more a sloop than a cruiser; these operated under the aegis of light cruisers, like at the Battle of Ko Chang). Apart from that, there was an auxiliary cruiser that served in the FNFL from 1942 until she was suck by U154 in 1944, and an oceanographic survey ship [7].

I'll let you know if I stumble on something interesting. Best wishes for your endeavour, and cheers! Rama (talk) 21:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm writing on the 1st class cruiser for the Polish Wiki (and aiming at featured article ;-) - she ended her career in the Polish navy, as training hulk ORP Bałtyk, so she's quite a known vessel in Poland - at least superficially (in fact, only superficially). Here's a stunning 1939 German photo: [8]. As for colonial avisos - I like that class very much, and also made a short article on this clas on Polish wiki.

Pistolet FN Browning modèle 1906

Bonjour,

Je prépare un ouvrage consacré aux armes de poche, à paraître cette année aux éditions E.T.A.I. Il me manque, pour boucler le dernier chapitre, une photo de Browning 1906 (la définition de mes clichés est trop basse). Auriez-vous l'amabilité de me laisser utiliser le cliché que vous avez publié sur ce sujet (Pistolet FN Browning modèle 1906, numéro de série 904166, anciennement une arme privée appartenant au général suisse Henri Guisanet). Si oui, merci de m'indiquer la mention que vous souhaitez voir apparaître sous le cliché.

Mon mail jpbastie@hotmail.fr

Cordialement,

Jean-Pierre Bastié

Bonjour,

vous pouvez utiliser cette photographie avec la mention "Rama, Cc-by-sa-2.0-fr" ; vous trouverez quelques indications sur User:Rama/use my images, mais n'hesitez pas a me demander si vous avez des questions.

Je profite de l'occasion pour vous signaler une faute dans la legende : le nom du general suisse est Henri Guisan (et non Guisanet).

Tous mes voeux pour votre publication,

Rama (talk) 16:24, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
