(Martin Rulsch (WMDE) im Namen des Organisationsteams von Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland, 9. Oktober 2017)

Herzlichen Glückwunsch Dietmar!

Ich bin ganz begeistert von Deiner (Wieder-)Entdeckung des Quadrats. Es machen sich die wenigsten Gedanken um Gestaltung nur für das Format, hier perfekt umgesetzt. Und die Logik dahinter ist auch uralt. Es wäre ja nicht ich, wenn mein persönlicher XRay-Fave NICHT immer noch die "Bonner Post" in b/w wäre und ironischer weise dachte ich mir, "Warum nicht im Quadrat?";-) Mag für viele eigenartig klingen, aber für mich hast Du mit den Quadraten ein neues Level erreicht. In sich soweit homogen und schlüssig, der einen Technik vergessen lässt. Ein ruhender Pol, darum geht es, und umgekehrt - FLOW Nur das Bild zählt, oder spricht für sich. Wie in einem perfektem Licht und rahmenlosen Rahmen alleine für das Bild gemacht, wie ein Gebäude. Wenn ich jetzt sage, das ist untechnisch, ist es sicher falsch, zumindest formal unkorrekt.Es ist halt schlicht ein anderes Level. (only for u, more Maslow´s Pyramid then OSI-Model). Vielleicht kommen wir auch noch mal dazu, die "schwarzen Pudel auf dem Kohlenhaufen" anzusehen, nicht zu vergleichen.

Rutsch mir gut rüber! Hans-Jürgen

Mehr nur eine Spielerei

Danke! Und bevor ich es vergesse: Ebenso einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr! Derzeit spiele ich etwas. Das liegt nicht nur an der winterlichen Saure-Gurken-Zeit, sondern auch an einem Wechsel in das Vollformatlager und dem Wunsch, sich selbst weiterzuentwickeln - da ist es, das andere Level. Formate spielen nur eine Rolle, aber Quadrate und auch 4:5 mochte ich immer schon. Gerade Quadrate finde ich auch in Collagen ganz toll. Sie haben so etwas von Perfektheit, wenn es das Wort überhaupt geben sollte; siehe auch Das perfekte Quadrat und de:Quadratur des Quadrates. Insofern blicke ich mit Spannung auf die nächsten Monate - auch wenn nicht alles für Wikimedia Commons geeignet zu sein scheint. --XRay ^talk 16:50, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

Das mit den Wasserfällen gefällt mir jetzt weniger (eigentlich gar nicht). Liegt aber an anderen Punkten. 1) Wasserfälle mit langer Belichtungszeit "anzuweichen" wurde thematisch visuell sicher überzogen. 2) Ist ein Quadrat wenn es zu groß wird, schwer darstellbar, da Bilder nun mal an einer Wand (Monitor ist nichts anderes) hängen sollten. Wer hat eine schwarze Wand daheim? 3) Greifen da geometrische Muster, die zu oft religiöse Vorbelastung haben (Kreuz).

Interessant wird es, wenn man in der Fotografie zurückgeht. Quadrat als 56x56mm war praktisch, da ein "teures" Material für Quer-&Hochformat verwendet werden konnte. Und dann muss, vielmehr darf, man sich schon fragen, woher 20x25 - 4x5 Inch (ca.9x12cm), oder eben 24x36mm (2:3) kommt? Ich kenne das als Franke, vermutlich eher von Dürer http://www.albrecht-duerer-apokalypse.de/architektonische-stilblueten-im-marienleben/ und eben von Cover für CD&LP (das Runde muss in´s quadratische). Solltest Du mit "meinem" Tip eine Austellung machen, lasse es mich wissen. Du wirst da ähnliche Probleme finden, große Bilder brauchen Luft dahinter (hängen damit nicht wirklich im Lot), riesige weiße Wänder und mein Favourit ist ja nicht einmal das ruhigste(homogen). Selbst ein Tryptichon wird schwierig, da es lange Wände braucht und das Bild in der Mitte nicht quadratisch sein sollte.

Wenn Du Dürer "stöperst" stolpere auch mal über das magische Quadrat ;-) Habe Dir mal meine RNR geschickt. Gruss, Hans-Jürgen

Vielen Dank für deine Ausführungen! Gerade die Punkte mit den Wasserfällen finde ich sehr interessant, da sie Aspekte enthalten, die mir so noch nicht aufgefallen sind. Ich sehe, dass ich mich noch intensiver mit Themen der Gestaltung auseinandersezten sollte. Dabei lese ich schon immer wieder passende Fachliteratur. Ein Fotograf aus unserem lokalen Fotoclub erzählte auch einmal über ein Seminar zum Aufbau von Ausstellungen. ... im neuen Jahr geht's weiter. (Derzeit lese ich übrigens über die Todsünden der Fotografie - wohl eher allgemein gehalten, aber mit netten Hinweisen - und etwas über Wettervorhersagen und Ausnutzung in der Fotografie. Danach dürfte dann Gestaltung wieder einmal an der Reihe sein.) Deine Mail habe ich bekommen. Vielen Dank. So spontan schaffe ich es allerdings nicht, zum Telefon zu greifen. Ich merke es mir aber mal vor. --XRay ^talk 11:51, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Den Dürer-Beitrag habe ich gerade gelesen. Lesenswert. Auch wenn es vielleicht nicht so gemeint ist, fand ich ihn erheiternd. Ich bin nicht so Kunst bewandert, kenne aber ein wenig von Dürer - auch etwas gemogelte Bilder -, aber diese Erläuterungen weisen umfassend auf Unstimmigkeiten hin. Ich sehe es auch als künstlerische Freiheit. Danke für deinen Hinweis. --XRay ^talk 14:59, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Die Seite mit Dürer ist nicht nur inhaltlich fundiert, sie ist auch gut geschrieben, Witz bei der Sache gehört dazu. Für Fotografen vorallem lesenswert die Punkte mit Perpektive und Fluchtpunkten. - Dürer ist ja auch mit einem einzigem Kreis bei einem Wettbewerb bekannt geworden. Die Einsicht das jedes Bild ein Kreis sein muss, geht den meisten verloren. Er hat sicher bildliche Interpretationen provoziert, hier bei commons gibt es mehr Unstimmigkeiten, statt Interpretationen. Eigentlich hast mich ja Du zu FP verführt und ich habe die Kritiken im Quadrat gelesen. Stellenweise viel seltsamer aber ein anderer Personenkreis (mit Überlappungen) als bei QI. Ich kämpfe hier oft mit Editierungen oder dem BOT.Seltsamerweise hast Du bei "Graves and Cemeteries" ja gar nicht selber mit abgestimmt. Ist Dir das Thema zu schwer gewesen? Die alten "Meister" zeigen doch eine viel dramatischere Darstellung und vor allem wer sie subventioniert oder schlicht bezahlt hat. --Hans-Jürgen Neubert ^talk 08:54, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

FP ist stellenweise so eine Sache für sich, aber angesichts der anderen Bewertung ein ganz anderer Stil. Es ist doch etwas mehr Substanz dabei. Auch wenn ich persönlich mit einigen Bildern sehr hadere, beispielsweise Ablichtungen von Gemälden. Eigentlich kann man hier nur Bewerten, ob es gleichmäßig ausgeleuchtet, richtig beschnitten und farbgerecht abgebildet wurde. Zwei von drei Kriterien sind nicht prüfbar. Aus meiner Sicht reicht das nicht für ein exzellentes Bild. Es sind auf jeden Fall einige wirklich gute Fotografinnen und Fotografen dabei. Ich habe bei deinem Bild wohl nicht mit abgestimmt, weil ich in den letzten Wochen eher wenig aktiv war und es nicht gesehen habe. Schwer gewesen ist es nicht, damit habe ich die geringsten Probleme. (Eher mit der englischen Sprache, in der ich oft nicht sicher genug bin.) Ich bewerte nur prinzipiell keine Gemälde. Und was mein quadratisches Bild an der Nordsee angeht, hatte ich die Kontroverse schon geahnt. Dafür bin ich lang genug dabei. Mich irritieren zwar Hinweise auf einen angeblich ausgebrannten Himmel und das Nichtmögen des quadratischen Formats als Bewertungsmaßstab, aber damit muss man leider leben. Manche bewerten, als ob sie alles kennen und gesehen haben, es im Grunde aber doch nicht wissen. Wenn man's ganz krass haben möchte, dann lässt man seine Bilder hier bewerten: de:Wikipedia:Exzellente Bilder. Mein Tipp: Versuch's nicht. Ich habe manch einen deiner Versuche bei QIC gesehen und sehe dich noch heute rätseln, warum sie nicht QI sein sollen. Die Bilder sind tendenziell immer mit Blickrichtung Wikipedia zu sehen. Ein künstlerischer Anspruch zählt oft nicht. Ich sehe selbst, wie sich meine Vorstellungen nach und nach nicht mehr mit QIC und FPC vereinbaren lassen. VIC habe ich schon eingestellt. --XRay ^talk 13:15, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Da bin ich jetzt irgendwie gar nicht bei Dir, oder ich verstehe die zu pauschal formulierten Aussagen nicht einmal in deutscher geschriebener Sprache. Ich hatte niemals ein Gemälde eingestellt, es ging um den Totenkopf St. Johannes, das ist ein Foto, weit weg von einem Gemälde. Gemälde sind zwar ein sicheres Beispiel für die "Unzulänglichkeit" der Bewertungen hier (nicht ohne Grund wird bei Repro geblitzt oder heute mit Neutral-Neon-Röhren/LED zentriert). Da bin ich sicher bei Dir, es ging mir eigentlich mehr um Objektivität. Commons und Wiki-pics haben in der realen Welt kaum eine Bedeutung, was an dem selektierten Personenkreis in commons BRD zu tun haben mag. Es gibt sicher rein charakterliche Vorlieben, die auch in dislike (charmanter als Hass) umschwenken. Sollte einen Mathematiker nicht wundern, nur so macht es Sinn und ist keine Mitternachtsformel, die wirklich elegant, sexy und beauty ist. Es gibt wirklich verdammt gute Fotografen, ich bin keiner davon, nur teuer und muss gottseidank nicht davon leben, ich finanziere nur mein Equipment davon. Was mich viel mehr wundert ist das Herdenverhalten hier, was Wiki und commons schon immer vorgeworfen wurde. Da bist Du irgendwie auch nicht besser. Ich will da nicht hin, ich hoffe doch ich habe versucht Bandbreite zu zeigen. Ich rede nicht von einem user, der endlich mal seinen Sensor geputzt halt, aktuell unter 2MP. Oder einer Frau (Bonus) mit komplett falsch belichteten Auto-Pics, wo der Bison schon auf dem Rasen umkippt. Ich denke mal Du hattest einfach Pech, Dein Bild nach einem perfekten (übrigens runden) Quadrat einzustellen. Peinlich nur für die anderen, da offensichtlicher Herdentrieb. Dabei ist das image zwar super, taugt halt nur nicht als Quadrat. Stichwort Trypichon oder eben großes, sehr große Bild an der Wand. Ich mache halt selten was ohne Absicht ;-) --Hans-Jürgen Neubert ^talk 18:14, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Wir haben 2018! Alles Gute! Und wieder zurück. Du schriebst, warum ich wohl dein Bild nicht bewertet hatte. Daraufhin schrieb ich, dass dies wohl geschehen ist, weil ich es nicht gesehen habe. Eine Absicht stand nicht dahinter. Die Gemäldeablichtungen im allgemeinen Sinne sind Bilder, die ich nicht bewerte. Damit sind dies auch die einzigen, die ich mit Absicht nicht bewerte. Deines war keines und ist daher nicht betroffen.
Und Herdenverhalten liegt mir nicht, dafür ecke ich auch zu oft an. Allerdings versuche ich auch keinen Streit vom Zaune zu brechen, sondern alles auf sachlicher Ebene zu halten. So lohnt es sich nicht, Bilder zu nominieren, die keine Chance haben. Das mag wie Herdenverhalten aussehen, ist meiner Meinung nach aber den Zielen von Wikimedia Commons, FP, QI und VI geschuldet. Wikimedia Commons entspringt der Wikipedia-Welt und hat sich dann geöffnet. Das muss man halt immer berücksichtigen. Ich bin mittlerweile schon recht lang dabei und weiß schon, wie manche bewerten und abstimmen. Und ich weiß auch, welche Fotografin und welchen Fotografen ich sehr schätze. Diese fotografieren sehr gut und ihre Bewertung hat auch immer Substanz. Man kennt auch die fotografischen Fähigkeiten und sieht, wer sich wie entwickelt oder entwickeln möchte. Klar gibt es auch den Herdentrieb, aber wo gibt es den nicht? Im täglichen Leben begegnet er mir mit Regelmäßigkeit.
Und nebenbei: Ein besseres Medienarchiv mit Bildern unter freier Lizenz suche ich schon lange - erfolglos. Verwendung finden übrigens zumindest einige meinet Bilder auch außerhalb der Wikimedia-Welt, insofern ist eine gewisse Bedeutung da. Ich sehe aber zwei große Hürden: Die Trennung von Spreu und Weizen bei all den Medien und das Verständnis, was eine freie Lizenz bedeutet.
Bevor ich es vergesse: Du solltest vielleicht meine Diskussionsseite aus deiner Signatur lassen. Sie ist da wohl versehentlich drin gelandet. --XRay ^talk 08:58, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Happy New Year GMT-2018! Ebenfalls nur das Beste und ebenfalls noch kurz zurück. Es ist (nicht war) halt auffällig, da der Tip ja von Dir kam und chronologisch genug Zeit NACH dem Hinweis war. Das textlich zu beschreiben ist alles viel zu umständlich hier. Die Wettbewerbe scheinen ja kein zeitliches Ende zu haben? - finden ein ganz anderes Bewertungslevel und worüber ich stolpere der html-code ist wieder anders. Ist seit Wochen ja auch bei QI ein Problem (bug) und bei FP ist wieder alles etwas anderes. Das mit dem Gruppenverhalten ist wichitg, da einiges wie Farbdarstellung oft nur ein Trend ist, gefährlich wird es wenn dies einer gewissen Marke zugeschrieben wird. Daher sind selbst die QI´s gefährlich, viele der Bilder sind falsch oder überbelichtet (sieht halt freundlicher aus). Und heute kostet ein brauchbarer Monitor fast nichts mehr, dazu 99% Farbraum. In Deinem Fall wäre das die Kritik mit "ausgebrannten Himmel" oder "Ozean ist krumm" was in einem Fall totaler Nonsense ist, im anderen Fall ist es definitiv ein Thema (horizontale Linien im Quadrat und optische Täuschungen). Letzteres ist sogar ein Geschlechter-Problem. Drei Männer hängen ein Whiteboard auf, das wird Diskussionen geben, an dem sich eine Frau lange nicht beteiligt...(10mal gemessen und immer noch krumm??) Ich sehe hier halt zwei Dinge, Themen werden total überstrapaziert und es werden die Sternchen untereinander weitergereicht, bei zweien denke ich sogar sie sind ein Paar. Gibt man der Meute ein neues Thema, verzweifeln sie erst mal. Die Sportfotos von Julia sind so ein Fall. Wenn man die freien Lizenzen mal vergisst, gibt es genug Portale (zB shutterstock) oder einfach Katalog-Fotos. (Das wäre DAS Wiki-Thema) nur die wenigsten QI´s werden dafür genommen, das hat andere Gründe. Wiki will da aber sicher hin. Das ist halt nicht mein Interesse, solange die Bilder im freien Markt keinen Dollar verdienen würden und sich selbst der Fotograf das Bild nicht an die Wand hängen würde.Bei Artikeln scheitert Wiki ja immer noch an der Zitierfähigkeit für wissenschaftlcihe Arbeiten, ich mag und mache es trotzdem. Sicher viel zu wenig, bei "ACR" in Wiki macht das "Gruppen-Auge" einfach konstruktiven Sinn und man darf sich fragen, warum es das vorher noch nicht gab, daher konnte ich in Wiki nicht anders. Ähnliches ist bei b/w zu sehen, mir war das mit der letzten Kritik neu und ich bin mir sicher ich habe es auch bei Dir schon gesehen (gleiches raw), ähnlich QI´s kleiner als 2MP NACH dem Hinweis auf die Regeln. Ein photographisches Thema wie die Mäusescheune ist übrigens damit nicht gemeint. Wird das nicht als Argument sondern als Emotion ausgewertet wird es mehr als unsachlich. Ein Freund von mir ist Restaurator, Brillenträger mit einem verdammt gutem Auge. Er wird bezahlt und seine Bilder stehen in Massen in Denkmalkatalogen zur Verfügung, er tut sich das hier gar nicht an (zu kompliziert) interessant war es aber was er zu den Kommentaren und Bildern meinte. Er war da viel schneller als ich, es richtig einzuschätzen. Dabei hat er sich um so Spitzfindigkeiten wie CA´s gar nicht gekümmert. Er ist auch der einzige der rein in jpeg fotografieren darf, denn er ist farbenblind. Ein erfolgreiches 2018 - Hans-Jürgen

Jetzt habe ich die FPCs aber doch nach langer Zeit noch einmal komplett durchgesehen und war definitiv für dein Bild zu spät. Sorry. Ich vermute, du hast schon bemerkt, dass ich auf bildtechnisch hier bei Wikimedia Commons auf dem Rückzug bin. Aber ich habe viele Jahre der Erfahrung hinter mir. Da sind die vielen Strömungen in der Bewertung der QIs wie auch ein Zoo ungeschriebener oder in allen Winkeln der Seiten verborgenen Regeln, da sind teils krass unterschiedliche Ansichten, unnötige Kleinkrämerei und eine unnötige Komplexität. Es ist allen Freiwilligen hoch anzurechnen, sich hier zu engagieren. Aber die Folge sind total unterschiedliche und auch komplizierte Verfahren nicht nur bei QI, FP und VI. Änderungen dauern sehr lange, oft mit müßigen Diskussionen. (BTW: Das ist in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia noch deutlich heftiger, dort aber auch gepaart mit einem oft unmöglichen Umgangston. Mich wundert der Autorenmangel so gesehen keineswegs.) Bei den Bewertungen bei den QIC mag ich übrigens keine engen Kontakte feststellen, wohl aber immer wiederkehrende Zeiten, zu denen Leute aktiv sind. Und man lernt recht schnell, wer in der Regel gute Bilder liefert und wer Bilder mit mehr Diskussionsbedarf nominiert. Daraus könnte man so etwas ableiten. Sei's drum, ich werde weiter an mir arbeiten, lernen, aber auch meinen Weg weiter gehen. Mir fehlt nur sehnlichst eine Plattform, auf der man gute Bilder mit freier Lizenz zur Verfügung stellen kann und sich mit anderen auf ähnlichem Niveau austauschen kann.--XRay ^talk 17:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Röhren aus ABS

Haben Sie schon so was photographiert? Unter Category:Plastic pipes gibt es einige mögliche Bilder, leider kann ich den Material nicht von den Röhren lesen, sonst haette ich das genauer kategoriziert. HLHJ (talk) 02:45, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Habe ich. Auf den ersten Blick sind mindestens zwei Bilder von mir. Genauer identifizieren kann ich den Kunststoff leider auch nicht. Danke auf jeden Fall für die Bemühungen der Kategorisierung. Es wird zwar immer mal gewünscht, aber mir geht es in erster Linie um das Motiv. Pflanzengattungen, Architekturstile, Baujahre, Materialarten, etc. festzustellen, wäre ein unverhältnismäßiger Aufwand. Und Wikimedia Commons ist ein Medienarchiv, nicht Wikipedia. Soweit ich kann, unterstütze ich allerdings genauere Kategorisierungen - auch mit Hilfe von nicht veröffentlichten Fotos. Wegen der beiden Bilder kann ich gerne noch einmal nachsehen. --XRay ^talk 06:12, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Auf den anderen Bildern ist leider auch keine Bezeichnung zu finden. --XRay ^talk 16:13, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-02

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• On Wikidata, the "save" button when you edit is now called "publish". This means all Wikimedia wikis have now changed from "Save page" to "Publish changes". This is to help new editors understand what it does. [1][2]
• Some edits will get an automatic tag on all wikis. This will happen when making a page a redirect, blanking a page, removing almost all content, undoing an edit, or rolling back an edit. You can see the tags for example in the recent changes feed, article history, user contributions or on your watchlist. Some wikis had already marked edits like these in other ways. [3]
• Special:UnusedFiles shows files that have been uploaded but are not used. It will show a file that is not used on the wiki it has been uploaded to, even if the file is used on another wiki. The new Special:GloballyUnusedFiles page on Commons only shows files that are not used on any wiki. [4]
• Structured discussions now uses the 2017 wikitext editor instead of its old custom one. This will work with your preference for wikitext or visual editor. The documentation has been updated. [5][6]

Problems

• Older versions of the Chrome web browser on mobile devices may see the PDF download button, but it does not work. The developers are looking into the problem. [7]
• With the new filters in the recent changes, "Exclude selected" in "Namespaces" did not work for "Saved filters" between 13 December and 2 January. When you loaded the saved filter all other namespaces were excluded instead. This has now been fixed. If you made any changes to your saved filters between 13 December and 2 January, you need to save your filters with excluded namespaces again. [8]
• The latest version of Google Chrome broke how section links are shown in the address bar. You now see #R%C3%A9sum%C3%A9 instead of #Résumé even if MediaWiki did not encode it that way. This happened in early December. This problem has been solved. The fix will be in Chrome 64 (23 January) or Chrome 65 (6 March). [9]
• Some POST requests to the API took longer than usual in parts of December. This affected the Wikidata UI and some gadgets the most. It has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

• Wikidata will be moved to its own database servers. This is because it is growing and needs more resources. Because of this you will be able to read but not edit Wikidata and the German Wikipedia between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 9 January. You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. This includes editing the language links on other wikis. [11]
• The font size in the editing window will change slightly for some users. It will now look the same on all browsers and operating systems. [12][13]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 January. It will be on all wikis from 11 January (calendar).
• WikiEditor's ResourceLoader modules have been simplified to one: ext.wikiEditor. All the other modules are now deprecated aliases and should be removed. [14]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 9 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tut mir erstmal leid...

Ich hatte heute minimal dreimal was zu dem Gerüst "Ketteler/Specht" geschrieben. Dann kam wieder der kleine Chinese in der Mitte mit seinem bot (buggy script). Jedscheddd mog I nimmer! :-/ Andere Bewertungen waren auch verschwunden, daher verordne ich mir eine commons Pause. - Ich habe mir Dein Bild runtergeladen und mit ACR 6.7 angesehen, sieht bei mir anders aus, aber Du magst ja keine fremde Korrekturen. (dabei ist es ein lens-profile). Ich habe dann gestern leider an der 13er PS-Version rumgespielt (ACR 9 und höher) da ich mir kaum vorstellen konnte das die f4 Gläser so seltsam sind (ist mir vor allem bei jemand anderem aufgefallen). Fazit ich bin am neuinstallieren, der letzten PS-Version. Komme mir jetzt bitte nicht mit LR- ACR ist das selbe und "perpective correction" geht mit LR für mich nicht. Übrigens (auch klar) die alte Version, wo das komplette Gebäude noch stand ist besser. Zwar APS (wie heißt DX bei Canon?) aber weniger Weitwinkel-Look und dabei dürfte das fast ein 30er mm, nicht wie in Vollformat ein 35mm sein. Du stellst Dich aber manchmal auch "unsauber" - Na egal, gehabe Dich wohl! - Hans-Jürgen

Ich muss zugeben, dass ich manchmal Schwierigkeiten habe, dir zu folgen. Fremde Korrekturen mag ich ganz und gar nicht, stimmt. Die Änderung mache ich selbst am RAW. Wenn ich dann noch etwas zu korrigieren habe, wird diese Änderung auch berücksichtigt. Wenn du so nett wärst, würde ich mir deine Änderungen gern einmal ansehen. Du könntest mir das Bild per Mail schicken. Die alte Version mit dem vollständigen Gebäude mag besser gewesen zu sein. Leider muss man seinen Standort schon mal nach parkenden oder fahrenden Autos ausrichten. Direkt gegenüber standen zu viele Autos. Die für das Bild gewählte Position zeigt gerade keine parkenden Autos, war aber mitten auf der Straße - mit Stativ. Da hat man Augen für das Motiv und auch für den Verkehr. Auch wenn die Geometrie schon etwas arg zum Tragen kommt, es war immerhin kein Ultraweitwinkel. Die zuerst erwogenen 20 mm hatte ich dann doch verworfen. --XRay ^talk 18:21, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

POTD proposal

Hi XRay:

I have a POTD request. You have at church related photo slated for Template:Potd/2018-10-31. I have this FP: File:Farmhouse at Kelvin A. Lewis farm in Creeds 13.jpg that I think would be better for that day since it's Halloween. Would you consider moving your photo to a different day? Nov 21 and a couple days in December are available. If not, that's okay, no worries. Peace, PumpkinSky talk 03:48, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

It is Halloween, but it Reformation Day too. The photograph was choosen because of Reformation Day. It should stay on October 31st. Sorry. --XRay ^talk 05:51, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

That's ok. No worries. PumpkinSky talk 11:35, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Hot pixel

Hallo XRay,

bevor Du die Kamera zum Service gibst: Wenn ich das richtig verstehe, ist das Auftreten von Hot Pixels bei Langzeitbelichtungen normal, weil sich hier der Sensor aufheizt.

Grüsse, --Basotxerri (talk) 18:01, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Das stimmt. Es gibt auch keine Sensoren, die fehlerfrei sind. Aber die Kamera ist neu und ich finde es schon als störend. Meines Wissens nach werden die defekten Pixel registriert und dann per Interpolation herausgerechnet. Und das Registrieren kann leider nur der Service durchführen. Danke auf jeden Fall für deinen Tipp. --XRay ^talk 18:13, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-3

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Bureaucrats on Wikimedia wikis where the Translate extension is installed can now add and remove the translation administrator permission by default. Administrators of wikis where this extension is enabled can add and remove this permission to or from themselves. Wikis that used a different configuration before have not changed. [15]
• There is a new Discourse test support channel for Wikimedia developers. You can ask questions or answer others questions about MediaWiki and Wikimedia software development. [16]

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki update was rolled back. This was because of a bug that changed non-ASCII characters when a page was edited. [17][18]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 16 January at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• A few hundred wikis with less than ten high-priority errors in Linter categories will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 31 January. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [19][20]

Fragen eines Nichtrauchers

Hallo, XRay, ich hab' die Tage die Category:Ashtrays aufgeräumt, da war ziemlich Kraut und Rüben. Jetzt ist da eine leere Kategorie (Cigarette-stub bins‎), wie geht man da vor? Und Category:Ashtrays in Restaurants habe ich aus Versehen ein großes R geschrieben. Seit gestern ist das kleine Cat-a-lot-Feld weg, was man so gut benutzen kann; wo könnte das sein? Viele Grüße, --Coyote III (talk) 17:57, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Bei der einen habe ich der Einfachheit halber den Löschantrag direkt eingetragen, die andere habe ich umbenannt. Das Recht zum Umbenennen habe ich glücklicherweise. Damit sollte alles erledigt sein, oder? Es gab im Forum übrigens auch dieselbe Frage nach Cat-a-lot. Vielleicht schaust du da mal. Vielleicht liegt es am Cache. Bei dem Mitstreiter war es einfach wieder da. --XRay ^talk 19:40, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-06

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Bureaucrats can now add and remove the accountcreator permission by default. This means the user can help create a large number of accounts, for example for an editathon. Wikis can change this if they want to. [26]
• The Wikidata vandalism dashboard is a new tool to monitor vandalism on Wikidata labels and descriptions. It is filtered by language. [27]
• Info pages for file pages now show the file's SHA1 hash value in the table of basic information. This is so users can see that the file is the same as the one they uploaded. [28]

Problems

• Special:Export has a higher error rate right now. This means that the export does not always work. You should check to make sure your page exports worked. The developers are working on fixing this. [29]

Changes later this week

• When you review an edit made with the visual editor you can check a visual diff of your changes besides the wikitext diff. If you pick one diff type it will remember and show you that in future. The visual diff will now be the type first shown to new users. [30]
• When you use a gallery to show images you can define the size, like gallery widths="150px". You could use em or % instead of px but it would make no difference. You can now only use 150px or nothing (150). If you write something else, instead of treating it like px, it will not work. [31]
• The wording when you send a thanks message will change. Instead of Yes or No it will say Thank and Cancel. It will also be easier to understand that all thanks are public. [32]
• Redirects connected to Wikidata can create double Wikidata items. There will now be a tracking category for this. Wikis that don't want it can disable it. [33]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Education Program extension will be removed on 30 June. It is replaced by the Programs and Events Dashboard. [34][35]

Tech News: 2018-07

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• TemplateStyles has been deployed to the Swedish Wikipedia. TemplateStyles is a feature to make it easy to add CSS to templates without administrator privileges. This allows for better adaptability to screen sizes, especially on mobile where are half our total page views. If your community would like to be the next to have the feature, please submit a task on Phabricator. [36][37][38]
• Registration pages now collect keyboard/mouse usage information for research on identifying spambots.

Changes later this week

• You can opt in to a new beta feature that lets you use visual diffs on history pages. [39]
• The visual editor shows and lets you edit templates in one way, and reference lists in another. This meant that templates that only contain a fake reference list, like {{reflist}}, would not get updated as you edited. Now they will update as you edit, but you will no longer be able to visually edit them as templates. [40]
• The abuse filter extension has a new feature contains_all that you may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string. [41]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 February. It will be on all wikis from 15 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 February at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The settings page and beta options for the mobile website are being improved. [42]

Tech News: 2018-08

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The explanation of the abbreviations on the recent changes page could overlap with the list of changes. This has been fixed. [43][44]
• You can now see statistics for pageviews per wiki per country. You can see this on maps or in a table. [45]

Problems

• Linter is reporting estimated counts instead of actual counts for some wikis. This is because of performance problems. You might notice a false higher number in linter counts for some categories. This will be fixed as soon as the performance problem has been fixed. [46]
• Last week the way that Visual Editor displays references lists was changed. As a result, the references generated by specific templates like {{sfn}} are not visible in the references list whilst editing. [47][48]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 20 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 21 February. It will be on all wikis from 22 February (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 20 February at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 February at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The way edit summaries and log comments are stored in the database is being changed. In the future this will make longer comments possible. [49]
• Edit conflicts could be solved in a different way in the future. You can test a new prototype.

Problems

• Last week's MediaWiki version was rolled back because of a bug. [51][52]
• Since the deployment train last week until late evening on 20 February UTC, when you thanked someone for an edit, the thank went to the latest unthanked edit to that page. It didn't matter which edit you tried to give thanks for. This has been fixed. [53]
• Special:Statistics did not take newly created pages into account since 13 February 2018. Because of this the statistics are recreated. [54][55][56]

Changes later this week

• Users with version 10 of the Internet Explorer browser will no longer get JavaScript on Wikimedia wikis. If you use this browser on your computer, you can try upgrading to a newer version. [57]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 1 March (calendar).

Tech News: 2018-10

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now make longer edit summaries. [60]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. [61]
• On Special:AbuseLog you can now choose to list only actions that actually made an edit. Other actions are when the filter warned the editor or blocked the edit from being made. There are also more search options. [62][63]
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor, but it is complex. The tool will now warn in the JavaScript console if the configuration isn't correct. Soon Citoid will disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [64]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 March. It will be on all wikis from 8 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 6 March at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 7 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• In the future you will be able to use global preferences. This means you could change a preference for all wikis instead of having to change it every time for each wiki. You can now test global preferences and give feedback.
• You can now read about planned works on maps during 2018. This will be done by June. You can give feedback on the planned maps work.

5DIV

Hallo Dietmar, ich bin am überlegen, mir eine 5DIV zu kaufen. Genaugenommen bin ich eigentlich schon ziemlich entschlossen, habe mir aber vorgenommen, vor dem Kauf mal bei ein paar Besitzern dieser Kamera nachzufragen, wie die Erfahrungen so sind. Wie kommst Du mit der Kamera zurecht? Bist Du zufrieden? Irgendwelche speziellen Vorzüge oder Nachteile? --Code (talk) 12:52, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

@Code: Hallo Ansgar, wenn du doch schon ziemlich entschlossen bist, kann ich dich doch auch kaum noch davon abhalten, oder? Möchte ich auch gar nicht. Ich habe meine Entscheidung nicht bereut, vielmehr bedauert, dass ich nicht schon früher auf den großen Sensor gewechselt habe. Die EOS 5DMIV ist ein Arbeitstier und sie arbeitet richtig gut. Feature, die mir fehlten, sind endlich an Bord. Die Auflösung ist mehr als ausreichend, die Dynamik nicht herausragend, aber schon gut. Vorteile könnte ich noch einige auszählen. Du merkst schon, ich bin zufrieden. Aber ein paar Bedenken kann ich dir nicht nehmen, die ich doch erwähnen möchte. Erst einmal ist sie größer und schwerer. Ich habe zum Beispiel auch einen neuen Fotorucksack gekauft. Sie hat keinen integrierten Blitz, aber den nutze ich bei all meinen anderen Kameras auch nicht. Sie hat kein Klappdisplay. Das ist echt so ein Punkt, denn meine Aufnahmen dicht über dem Boden oder mit in die Höhe gehaltener Kamera sind schwieriger geworden. Meine Objektive durfte ich - bis auf eines - komplett tauschen. Das 20-mm-Sigma ist Spitze. Selten ein so gutes Objektiv gehabt. Das neue Immerdrauf 24-105-mm-Canon war trotz der L-Serie schlechter. Die ersten Bilder bei QIC wurden wegen Unschärfe bemängelt. Gut, es ist Pixelpeeping, denn bei einer 12-MPx- und bei einer 30-MPx-Kamera auf Pixelebene die Schärfe zu beurteilen, ist Quark. Aber das lässt sich einigen Bewerterinnen und Bewertern wohl kaum noch in überschaubarer Zeit erklären. Es war mir trotzdem zuviel. Ergo: Kamera und Objektiv gingen erst einmal zum Service. (Anmerkung am Rande: Dank kostenlosem CPS mit Priority eine Servicezeit von 5 Tagen plus Versand statt vorher erfahrungsgemäß 5 Tage plus Versand. Aber im ersten Fall werden die 5 Tage zugesichert, also doch ein kleiner Unterschied.) Nach dem Service hat die Schärfe deutlich zugenommen und heute ich nichts mehr zu bemängeln. Das Objektivthema ist aber immens. Viele Objektive schaffen die Auflösung des 30-MPx-Sensors gar nicht. Canon hat etliche im Angebot, die seit über 10 Jahren produziert werden. Vor 10 Jahren dachte man auch gar nicht an heutige Auflösungen. Da muss man beim Kauf schon aufpassen. Gute Objektive, die richtig gut zur Kamera passen, sind schon heftig teuer. Man zumindest in Bezug auf das Equipment den Hobbybereich verlassen. Ich bin also zufrieden. Dank eines Vorgängers aus demselben Hause war die Umstellung auch einfach. Man fand sich sofort zurecht. Aber für die Spezialitäten muss man schon Anleitung studieren, lesen und ausprobieren. Ich habe die Kamera seit November und kam grundlegend sofort klar. Heute würde ich meinen Kenntnisstand als gut bezeichnen, muss aber noch einmal die Anleitung durchgehen, um einem "sehr gut" nahezukommen. Ach ja, Handbuch. Gibt's nur als Download. Da spart Canon an der falschen Stelle. --XRay ^talk 15:53, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Vielen Dank. Klingt so, als gebe es jedenfalls keine Umstände, die mich noch davon abbringen könnten. Meine Objektive sind ja durchweg schon ziemlich gut. Ich würde mir ja sehr gerne noch das 16-35mm F4L kaufen, aber ob das auch noch ins Budget passt, muss ich mir nochmal gut überlegen. Jedenfalls nochmal Danke für Deine Einschätzung. Und ja - von Vollformat möchte ich auch nicht mehr weg. Ich war kurz am überlegen, ob ich auf was spiegelloses umsteige oder gar auf MFT, aber ich bin mittlerweile ein derartige Qualitätsfetischist geworden, dass ich mit was anderem gar nicht mehr klarkäme. Ich hatte dann noch über einen Systemwechsel zu Nikon nachgedacht, weil Canon doch ziemlich hinterherhinkt (die D850 ist schon ein anderes Kaliber, als die 5DIV), aber letztlich haben mich vor allem die Objektive davon abgehalten. Auch das Objektivsortiment, das ich noch nicht habe, aber von dem ich träume. Sowas wie das 85mm f/1.2L hat Nikon einfach nicht. Und bei Tilt-Shift siehts auch schlecht aus. Aber das ist natürlich alles sowieso noch Zukunftsmusik. Viele Grüße! --Code (talk) 18:58, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Sowohl die Nikon als auch eine Sony waren bei mir auch in der Auswahl. Die Nikon ist zuerst ausgeschieden, die Sony erst auf der Zielgeraden. Die Unterschiede sind eher marginal, die Canon ist es geworden, weil ich die Bedienung kannte. Allerdings habe ich auch eine Sony-Systemkamera und kenne ein wenig von Sonys Weg. Gefällt mir persönlich nicht ganz so. --XRay ^talk 19:05, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Woran lag's bei der Nikon? --Code (talk) 19:11, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Mehrere Gespräche mit dem Fotohändlers meines Vertrauens auch über Nikons Produktpolitik und verschiedene Berichte über fehlerhafte Kameraserien in den vergangenen zwei Jahren. Die technischen Daten fand ich gut, allerdings kein nennenswertes Alleinstellungsmerkmal. --XRay ^talk 19:17, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-11

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• 3D models can now be uploaded to Commons. [65]
• Page Previews has been updated to use HTML for previews. This has fixed many issues. An A/B test was done on English and German Wikipedia to measure how it is used. Other changes were also made. [66]
• Some edits have to be checked against too many conditions before they can trigger an abuse filter. If that is the reason no filter is triggered the edit will be tagged for review. [67]
• Auto-saving has been added to the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. Right now it is meant to help if your browser crashes or if you accidentally close a tab. [68]

Problems

• The abuse filter did not tag all edits that should have been tagged after last week's MediaWiki version had come to the wikis. It was fixed on 9 March (UTC). [69]

Changes later this week

• You can notify users in edit summaries. They will get a ping just as if they had been mentioned on a wiki page. This was originally planned to happen last week. [70]
• It is now possible to specify the block parameters for each filter in Special:AbuseFilter. The parameters include block duration and if the user should be blocked from editing their own talk page. The block duration is separate for anonymous and registered users. [71][72]
• A hundred Wikimedia wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 13 and 14 March. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed in the middle of 2018. [73][74][75]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 March. It will be on all wikis from 15 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 13 March at 19:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Comments  CommentI suggest a stronger crop (cutting out the right curved sandstone) and a flahs to reduce the shadows. Mir ist ja klar das ich da eine kleinkarierte Nervensäge bin, aber das eigentliche Objekt hat ja nur geschätzte max. drei Tonwerte, dafür ist es mir zu hell zu weich und auch nicht kontrastreich. Ölen oder anfeuchten geht ja kaum, blitzen schon, das härteste im Kontrast sind die zeichnungslosen Schatten die detailwichtig sind. Den normalen großen Schatten von rechts finde ich unten sehr bildstörend. --Hans-Jürgen Neubert 05:26, 12 March 2018 (UTC)} * Good quality. --Smial 11:07, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

f/16

I took this in f/11, f/13 and f/16, as with most of the other images from that particular campsite because the scenery was so gorgeous and the skies so clear. Most of them worked best at f/11, but this one worked at f/16, for me, because I got the best exposure on the clouds, with no blown highlights, and the deepest blue.

Peoplefotografie und Portraits

Ich wunder mich über den geringen Anteil an Personenfotografie. Ist vielleicht auch nicht Dein Ding? Ich hätte mal eine grundsätzliche Frage zu Personenbildern. Eigentlich macht es seitens Commons doch nur Sinn, wenn es eine Verwendung für Wikipedia gibt. Das kann ich nachvollziehen, damit die ganzen Serien von Politikern oder Sportlern bei einem event. Seltsamerweise findet das mehr in einer Form der Reportage statt. Das sachliche darf damit das fotografische überwiegen. Seltsamerweise gibt es sehr wenige Bilder von "Schaustellern" (gemeint ist sich zur Schau stellen), Musiker, Philosophen gerade Mode und models gehen irgendwie total unter. Mir ist oft die Arbeit zu viel (ich bin nicht der Edit-Guy) und wenn ich mich mal wieder vertippe, ist es sehr umständlich, die reinen Tippies richtig zu stellen. Bis auf Musiker und Künstler sehe ich auch keine sinnvolle Verwendung für wikipedia, was eventuell die fehlende gestalterische Umsetzung erklärt. Mögen viele anders sehen, aber Commons ist unter der CAT People - da für mich keine Fotografenseite. Ich nehme Persönlichkeitsrechte sehr ernst, Kinder in Armutsländern veröffentliche ich daher nur noch selten (das ist oft zur Fotosafari verkommen). Ich habe mal eine eigenen Kategorie aufgemacht. Kannst Du das mal scanen? Photographs by Hans-Jürgen Neubert/Peoble and Portraits Ich finde das so bei keinem Commoner, was sich (bis auf die Arbeit und die fehlende Verwendung) mir nicht komplett erklärt. Wo setzte ich eigentlich richtig den "public rights stamp"? Schöne Woche, Hans-Jürgen Neubert Hans-Jürgen Neubert 14:12, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

@Hans-Jürgen Neubert: Da muss ich etwas ausholen, es ist nicht mir drei Wörtern erklärbar. Zuerst einmal zur Verwendung. Wikimedia Commons ist unabhängig von Wikipedia. Dank der Entstehungsgeschichte hat sich das noch nicht bei jedem herumgesprochen, es ist aber so im Projektziel definiert. Es gibt aber eine leichte Verwendbarkeit in den Wikipedias dieser Welt. Die vielen Personenbilder, die du siehst, sind nahezu immer ereignisorientiert - wenn man das mal so ausdrücken darf. Es ist oft als Projekt bei Wikimedia eingestielt und wird von Wikimedia gefördert. Die Förderung fällt unterschiedlich aus. Besonders gerne werden Festivals, Politikerinnen und Politiker oder Sportereignisse gefördert. Schau mal hier: Category:Wikimedia Foundation projects oder Category:Supported by Wikimedia Deutschland. Das stellt vielleicht erst einmal ein etwa schräges Bild dar. Wenn man allerdings mal bei Category:People by subject schaut, findet man auch andere Bilder, teilweise für sich gesehen schon recht schräg und absurd. Deine Bilder passen letztendlich ganz gut ins Konzept. Persönlichkeitsrechte der Abgebildeten gelten eigentlich sowieso, erst recht bei freien Lizenzen wie Creative Commons. Das muss rein rechtlich gesehen gar nicht sonderlich bemerkt werden. Es ist meiner Meinung nach aber trotzdem einen Hinweis wert, vor allem wegen der besonderen Bedeutung der Identifizierbarkeit von Personen. Und dieses Template mit dem Hinweis auf die Persönlichkeitsrechte. Es gibt diverse passende Orte, bei Information unter Permission oder bei der Lizenz oder direkt nach Information. Wenn's spezielle Orte geben sollte, steht's im Beschreibungstext, schau einfach mal hier: {{Personality rights}}. Das wird aber alles mal ein Ende finden, wenn sich die strukturierten Daten mal durchgesetzt haben werden. Das Projekt läuft auf Hochtouren.
Darf ich noch etwas anmerken? Deine Kategorie Category:Photographs by Hans-Jürgen Neubert/Peoble and Portraits, soll ich sie umbenennen? "People". ;-)
Und ja, du hast recht, ich mache keinen Personenaufnahmen. Das ist nicht ganz mein Ding. --XRay ^talk 15:34, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

ː:@XRay: Ja bitte umbenennen, einen für die Mittelfranken, doppeldes D und hartes B auch Legasteniker genannt ;-) Die gesponserten events sind nicht mein Ding. Ich hatte mich schon bei Granada gewundert, das die sich so eine Arbeit antut. Ich kenne das nur von Modeevents, da geht es mir mehr um monetäre Zuwendung, die Arbeit die ganzen Modelle auch noch zu benamen wäre mir zu viel. Es gibt hier ja nicht einmal gute Bilder von David Bowie, der ist tot und ich bin kein Rentner. Ich könnte so nur mal den "Schwarzen Pudel" einstellen, die Edit-Story und CAT´s macht irgendwie weniger Sinn. Mir ist auch fotografisch etwas aufgefallen, bei Personen arbeitet man als Fotograf ja ganz anders (WA, offene Blende, Focus auf das Objekt und das oft in einer feinen, eng abgestecken, Grenze, Weichzeichnung durch Licht und Softer (brush) bei Frauen, Härte bei Männern usw) zudem ist einem meist das Zielformat bekannt, die wenigsten sind daher direkt anzuwenden. Die jpeg´s haben Taschenformat, die Plakate sind fast zu hart. Dürfte viel Prügel bei QI geben ː-D Als persönlichen share kann man damit commons nicht nutzen, lässt sich ja schwer verstecken. Schräg und absurd wäre bei vielen Künstlern und Musikern ein Stilmittel. Im Umkehrschluß sieht man doch auch, das die wenigsten QI´s Werbetauglich sind, außer bei Urlaubsbildern und Architektur. Merci und Dankeǃ Hans-Jürgen Neubert 17:02, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Die Zielgruppe hier bei Wikimedia Commons ist hier schon anders als bei manch anderen Angeboten. Eine Alternative habe ich aber bis heute nicht gefunden. Das mag auch daran liegen, dass ich einerseits die freien Lizenzen favorisiere und mich andererseits auch gerne für Denkmäler engagiere. Für JPEGs gibt es sicherlich ein für und wider. Ich frage mich schon seit Jahren, warum Kameras von heute so ein in die Jahre gekommenes Format überhaupt noch schreiben. - Und ein Wikimedia-Projekt habe ich mal gemacht, Fotoflüge im Münsterland. Etliche Wochen Arbeit war das. Das brauche ich erst einmal nicht mehr. Kleinere Projekte durchaus, aber nicht in dem Stil mit etlichen Fotografinnen und Fotografen im Schnelldurchlauf mal eben eine Schloss oder Museum ablichten. Das ist mir von der Qualität her nicht akzeptabel und mehr Knipsen als Fotografieren. - Deine Kategorie habe ich übrigens umbenannt. --XRay ^talk 16:36, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Merci, auch offiziell. Komme aktuell weniger zu commons. Bin daher oft zu spät oder langsam. Was mir aufgefallen ist https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Nottuln%2C_Wassermühle_Schulze-Westerath%2C_BMW_Mini_--_2018_--_1485-9.jpg

Du arbeitest doch mit LT, kann das Ebenen? Auch ein jpeg-bug, die doppelten Bilder stört gerade am Baum, sieht wie eine verschobene Hochpass-Ebene aus, passiert halt leider auch, das sich die SW verrechnet... Schönes WE, Hans-Jürgen

:-) Ich verwalte und bearbeite meine Bilder mit Adobe Lightroom, das ist richtig. Allerdings nicht ausschließlich. In einigen Fällen kommt Photoshop zum Zuge oder auch Photomatix als HDR-Spezialist. Lightroom kann keine Ebenen, Photoshop aber. HDR können beide nicht so toll, daher dafür Photomatix. Der Fehler bei dem Bild entstand trotzdem in Photomatix. Manche Algorithmen arbeiten bei einigen Bildern nicht so toll und ich hatte wohl die Fehler in dem Ergebnis übersehen. Das Bild generiere ich neu. Derzeit bin ich jedoch dabei, einen neuen Rechner einzurichten. Ich bin von MS Windows auf den Mac umgestiegen. Das kostet ein wenig Eingewöhnung. --XRay ^talk 05:49, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-13

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• Some of the interface icons and text sizes will change slightly, as part of the updates for improved accessibility and consistency. These icons are used in many features, including Notifications, Recent Changes, Beta Features, Visual Editor, 2017 Wikitext Editor, Code Editor, and others. While editor toolbars, dialogs, and menus will appear slightly bigger; elements on special pages will be slightly smaller. Functionality will not change. [79] [80]
• The deprecated #toc and #toctitle CSS ids have been removed. If your wiki was still using these for fake Tables of Content (ToC) then these might lose their styling. They can be replaced with .toc and .toctitle classes where appropriate. [81]
• TemplateStyles will be deployed to the Wikivoyages on 28 March 2018. [82]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 March. It will be on all wikis from 29 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 27 March at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be one hour earlier than usual on 28 March at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• From 9 April, the sort order of categories will be distorted for a short time. We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a maintenance script to update existing database entries. This will last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on wiki size. Read more details. [83]
• Changes are coming to search for Serbian projects. Cyrillic and Latin variants of a word and different grammatical forms of a word will be able to find each other. Read more on MediaWiki in Serbian or English.

Tech News: 2018-14

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Template Wizard script available for testing. It will show up as a puzzle-piece icon in the 2010 WikiEditor. You can click on the icon to insert a template.
• The Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey is to be sent to participants around the world this week. If you are volunteer developer, and have contributed code to any pieces of MediaWiki, gadgets, or tools, please take 20 to 40 minutes to complete the survey.

Problems

• MediaWiki deployment train has been rolled back to version 1.31.0-wmf.26 on week 13, due to a multiplication of lost connections during MySQL queries. Some of the recent changes may have not been applied. They will be deployed next week. [84][85][86]
• The Notifications badge icons were overlapping other links. This has been fixed. [87]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 3 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 4 April. It will be on all wikis from 5 April (calendar).
• User subpages ending in .json will now be protected from other people editing them, like .js and .css pages already are. If you have a tool that stores static configuration, you can now use a subpage like User:Example/mygadget.json to do this without concerns. [88]
• Tidy will be replaced by RemexHtml on the next set of wikis. On April 4, we plan to turn off Tidy on all Wikiquotes (except frwikiquote) and Wikimedia chapters and user groups wikis. 23 wikis will have Tidy replaced this time. [89][90][91]
• AbuseFilter will transition to use OOUI starting April 4, and the rule editor will also be changed to a CodeEditor (ACE) similar to what is found on user JavaScript pages. The move to OOUI will continue over the next few weeks. [92] [93]
• In Special:Preferences, the preference "Reload the watchlist automatically whenever a filter is changed (JavaScript required)" is now only visible for users who have opt-out the New Filters for the Watchlist. [94]
• You can see names of individual abuse filters in Special:AbuseLog. Now if the name of an abuse filter contains some wikisyntax like links, it will not change to a link when displayed. [95]
• You can now search through filter patterns at Special:AbuseFilter. You may specify either a plain string or a regular expression and the matching filters will show a snippet of their pattern with the match highlighted. [96]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 3 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 4 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• If you're using, creating or improving Lua modules, you can give your feedback to help harmonizing the modules across wikis and add more useful functions.
• On April 11th, we plan to turn off Tidy on all wikis with less than 50 entries in all high priority linter categories. About 60 wikis will have Tidy replaced. Currently about 600 wikis have had Tidy replaced and we have another 300 wikis to go. We plan to finish this transition from Tidy to RemexHtml by end of June 2018. Please follow T175706 to monitor progress of Tidy replacement. [97][98]

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Spring 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Several Commons community members are working on ways to integrate Wikidata in Wikimedia Commons. While this is not full-fledged structured data yet, this work helps to prepare for future conversion of data, and helps to understand how Wikidata and Commons can work better together.
  • Thanks to Jarekt and other contributors, some Commons templates can now be filled via Wikidata: {{Creator}} (Phabricator) and {{Institution}} (Phabricator). Work is ongoing on the {{Artwork}} template (Phabricator).
  • Thanks to Mike Peel and others, Wikidata-powered infoboxes can now be added to Commons categories, with the template {{Wikidata Infobox}}. (Example)
  • Multichill is working on an experimental workflow to upload images to Commons via Wikidata (and using metadata from Wikidata). See a part of it here.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• Conversation about licensing and copyright modeling.
• High-level discussion on ontology for Commons.
• Review first designs for multilingual captions.
• IRC office hour, 13 February

Events

• Wikimedia Conference, Berlin, 20-22 April (+ Learning Days 18-19 April): several sessions and workshops around Structured Commons
• EuropeanaTech Conference, Rotterdam, 15-16 May: several presentations + a full workshop day on Monday 14 May about Wikidata and Structured Commons
• Wikimedia Hackathon, Barcelona, 18-20 May: Structured Commons as a focus area.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!

Research

• The research about GLAM contributions to Wikimedia Commons is concluded. A blog post on the Wikimedia blog provides a summary, and you can read the full results on meta.wikimedia.org.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Multilingual Captions soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Bitte an XRayBot

Hallo XRay, bist du bitte so nett und programmierst deinen Bot dahin gehend um, dass er beim Anlegen von Kategorien aus dem Schema Category:month year in Germany by state, z.B. Category:September 2004 in Germany by state statt der Einzelkategorien gleich die Vorlage Template:Germanymonthyearbystate nutzt? Das wäre klasse, m.E. würde das für uns alle die Arbeit noch weiter vereinfachen. Danke! --Kleeblatt187 (talk) 14:04, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Mache ich. Danke für den Hinweis. --XRay ^talk 21:33, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-15

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Some pages have templates that describe problems with that article. There is now more information for mobile readers and what is wrong with the article and how they could help fix it. [99]
• You can now thank users for many more actions than edits to a page. This was one of the top ten requests in the Wishlist Survey last year. [100]
• The sort order of categories will have errors for a short time starting Monday 9 April (UTC). We are upgrading versions of an internationalisation library (ICU) and using a script to update the database. This will take between a few hours and a few days depending on wiki size. You can read more details. [101]
• Tag filter titles will now work better on wikis where the tag filter title is in a language that is written in another direction than the language of that wiki. This could for example be an English title (written from left to right) on a Hebrew or an Arabic wiki (written from right to left). [102]

Problems

• The bookmark icon for saved filters on the recent changes page disappeared because of new icon changes. This has now been fixed. [103]
• For a week in March rollbacks got both the rollback and the undo tag on the recent changes page and other pages where you see tags. This has now been fixed. [104]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 April. It will be on all wikis from 12 April (calendar).
• Patrolled edits now have three states instead of two. Recent changes filters are updated to show unpatrolled, autopatrolled and manually patrolled edits. [105]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The iOS and Android apps will get synced reading lists later in April.

If you have already taken the survey, we are sorry you've received this reminder. We have design the survey to make it impossible to identify which users have taken the survey, so we have to send reminders to everyone.

Tech News: 2018-16

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• Profiling statistics for an abuse filter tell how often edits match the filter. The statistics for the abuse filters were reset after 10000 actions. Wikis can now decide to reset it more or less often. They can file a phabricator task to do so. [106]
• Abuse filters will now treat integers and floats more precisely. For example, 5/2 was rounded down to 2 but will now be 2.5 and 2*4 will be the integer 8 and not the floating-point number 8.0. Division values are the only ones changed. For the rest only strict comparisons (=== and !==) will be affected leaving the values unchanged. [107][108]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 17 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 18 April. It will be on all wikis from 19 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 17 April at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new PDF renderer could not create PDFs from books. Books are in this case collections of pages on a Wikimedia wiki. PediaPress will take over development of the books-to-PDF function. [109]
• Pywikibot will no longer support Python 2.7.2 and 2.7.3. [110]
• Volunteer developers can fill out the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors survey. The last day is April 22 (UTC). This is a third-party service survey. See the privacy statement.

• The icons in the 2010 wikitext editor have changed. [111]
• The visual editor and the 2017 wikitext ask you to write an edit summary after you press Publish. This button now also shows an ellipsis. This is to show that pressing Publish is not the last step. [112]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 24 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 25 April. It will be on all wikis from 26 April (calendar).

falsche Bot-Einstellung

Hallo XRay, bitte schau mal in die Category:2017 in Germany, danke! Dein Bot hat dort einige falsche "Jahr in Bundesland"-Kategorien hineingelegt, offenbar jahresunabhängig alles nach 2017. Sachsen-Anhalt hab ich nun schon aufgeräumt; Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Hamburg, Hessen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Saarland noch nicht. Bitte überprüfe mal die Bot-Einstellung, mir scheint das ein Grundsatzproblem zu sein. Evtl. kann der Bot das auch gleich noch aufräumen? Das wäre klasse! Danke vorab!

I've found (minor) green CAs and fixed it. Very, very minor halos may be at the top of the mill may be. I've seen it only at pixel level. Thank you. --XRay 07:56, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-18

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The parameter for unpatrolled edits in recent changes filters changed name. You might need to update saved filters and links. [114]

Problems

• We are migrating wikis from Tidy to Remex. Because of a bug the 250 wikis which do not yet use Remex were switched on 23 April. This is two months early. This meant that pages with broken wikitext showed wrongly to readers. The bug was undone the next day. You can help fix broken wikitext to avoid this problem when your wiki switches. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. You can follow the process on Phabricator. [115]

Changes later this week

• You will be able use CodeMirror in the 2017 wikitext editor on all wikis. CodeMirror helps with syntax highlighting. It has previously been a beta feature and only available on wikis with scripts that are written from left to right. [116]
• When an administrator blocks someone they will have a calendar they can use to choose when the block ends. This is to make it easier to pick a specific date. [117]
• You can soon turn on the Performance Inspector in the Editing section in your preferences. It shows information about the performance of pages. This could be the size of modules in the page, how many CSS selectors are defined on the page and how many are used, or the size of the images on the page. This tool is intended to help editors fix pages that load slowly. [118]
• There is a new abuse filter function called equals_to_any. You can use it to check if its first argument is equal (===) to any of the following ones. For example you can use it to check if the page's namespace is amongst a given set of values in a more compact way than you could earlier. You can read more on mediawiki.org.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 1 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 2 May. It will be on all wikis from 3 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 2 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Cloud Services team is working on a new project called Toolhub. The goal is to make it easier for Wikimedians to discover software tools they can use. You can leave feedback on the talk page or email jharewikimedia.org to leave private feedback.
• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in all namespaces will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 2 May. Other wikis will be recommended to switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Wikibooks wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch on 9 May. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [119][120][121]

Tech News: 2018-19

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The Wikimedia Commons mobile app has a new version. It is now easier to find nearby places that need pictures. It helps you with direct uploads and title and category suggestions. The app only works on Android phones. [122]

Problems

• The abuse filters had a problem with blocks where you had changed how long they last. It used the default length everywhere. This was in late April. Abuse filter users should make sure the right block length is used and change them if needed. This is only for filters where how long blocks last had been changed. [123]

Changes later this week

• The advanced search function beta feature will be on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. [124]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 May. It will be on all wikis from 10 May (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 8 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 9 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• All wikis with fewer than 100 high-priority linter errors in the main namespace will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 16 May. Other wikis will switch soon when they have fixed the errors that must be fixed. Tidy will be removed on all wikis before July 2018. [125][126]

Sieht ja nicht gut aus bei FP :-( War meine Vorstellung nicht enthusiastisch genug? Täte mir echt leid, wenn ich die Chancen dadurch versemmelt hätte. --Smial (talk) 15:05, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

@Smial: Mach dir keine Gedanken, du hast nichts versemmelt. Im Gegenteil, vielen Dank für die Nominierung. Ich habe das deutliche Gefühl, dass sich mein Stil verändert und das einiges verursacht. Versierte Fotografinnen und Fotografen - zu denen ich dich zähle - können hier folgen, andere folgen eher einer Art Mainstream. Das sind zwar oft auch gute Bilder, aber fotografische Mittel und Besonderheiten finden sich dort nicht. Und dann ist da noch der Wechsel zum Vollformat und einer Auflösung, die deutlich höher ist. Klar, dass hier in 1:1-Ansicht andere Mängel sichtbar werden, die aber völlig unbedeutend sind. Das Verständnis dafür findet sich auch eher bei versierten Fotografinnen und Fotografen, die die Grenzen eines Objektivs auch einschätzen können. Mal sehen, wie es weiter geht. --XRay ^talk 18:01, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Schärfentiefe

Eine geringe Schärfentiefe dient dazu, bestimmte Aspekte in einem Bild hervorzuheben und andere in den Hintergrund treten zu lassen. Letztendlich ist es eine Sache des Geschmacks, ob man bei der Aufnahme einer Schlange (wie in dem gegebenen Beispiel) den Blick des Betrachters gezielt auf einen Teil des Körpers lenken möchte, oder eben nicht. Mit „Qualität“ hat das rein gar nichts zu tun, sondern damit, wie der Fotograf ein Szene interpretiert. Ich habe die Behauptung, eine geringe Schärfentiefe bei Tieraufnahmen sei ein „Mangel“ hier auf Commons seit Jahren unwidersprochen hingenommen, letztendlich entwickelt sich diese Projekt aber nicht weiter, wenn immer dieselben Dinge als vermeintlicher „Qualitätsmängel“ angemerkt werden. Du weißt, dass ich deine Arbeit hier ansonsten sehr schätze, aber mir liegt nun einmal sehr viel an diesem Projekt und ich habe schon seit geraumer Zeit das Gefühl, dass Commons ein eigenes Qualitätsverständnis entwickelt hat, dass sich von dem Rest der Fotografie-Welt immer weiter entfernt. Die übrigen Mängel (etwa die JPG-Artefakte) erkenne ich an, fand sie aber nicht so gravierend, dass ich das Bild deshalb ablehnen würde. Nocheinmal: ich mag deine Arbeit hier und ich kann mich noch gut an unsere sehr freundliche Begegnung per Email vor ein paar Jahren erinnern. Insofern bitte ich darum, meine Kritik nicht persönlich zu nehmen. Beste Grüße aus der Ferne, --Frank Schulenburg ([[User talk:Frank Schulenburg|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 05:49, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Template:Ping Danke für deine Hinweise. Ich hatte mir das Bild seit deiner positiven Bewertung noch mehrfach angesehen. Mit der Schärfentiefe hast du recht, damit bin ich selbst jetzt mehrfach angeeckt und störe mich mittlerweile auch ein wenig an dem Mainstream in den Bildern. Bei dieser Schlange bin ich mir in der Bewertung eher unsicher und dankbar, dass du eine alternative Bewertung gemacht hast und damit die Diskussion ermöglichst. Es sind noch ein paar andere Faktoren, die mich an diesem Bild irritieren, wenn nicht stören. Es ist sehr eng beschnitten, rechts fehlt mir ein kleiner Teil der Schlange. Irgendwie wirkt das Bild wie mit einer anderen Kamera gemacht und die EXIF-Daten auf "Canon EOS 6D" getrimmt. Ich beobachte auf jeden Fall die Diskussion. --XRay ^talk 05:58, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Und noch etwas: Du schreibst "dass Commons ein eigenes Qualitätsverständnis entwickelt hat". Das kann ich nur bestätigen. Es ist derzeit eher Wikipedia-like und nicht tatsächlich fotografisch. Vielleicht haben wir uns auch selber weiter entwickelt. Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, dass ich mich mehr und mehr von Wikimedia Commons löse - wie etliche andere Fotografinnen und Fotografen vorher, die ich sehr schätze und deren Arbeiten mich begeistern. --XRay ^talk 06:04, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Vielen Dank für deine besonnene und freundliche Antwort. Ich weiß das sehr zu schätzen – vor allem, weil ich den allgemeinen Ton hier auf Commons nicht immer ans angenehm erlebe. Ich persönlich benutze die Schärfentiefe regelmäßig bewusst zur Bildgestaltung. Deshalb vielleicht auch mein Drang, dem Vorwurf entgegenzutreten, es handle sich bei geringer Schärfentiefe stets um einen Qualitätsmangel. Bei den Qualitätsbildern kann ich diese Bewertung noch eher verstehen, als bei den Exzellenten Bildern. Denn bei letzteren – und angesichts der Tatsache, dass die meisten Teilnehmer dort auf semi-professionellem Niveau fotografieren – kommt es mir manchmal skurril vor, wenn mit dem Argument „das Bild enthält einen technischen Mangel“ operiert wird. Wenn stattdessen mehr Projektteilnehmer sagen würden „ich hätte die Szene anders interpretiert“ oder „ich verstehe deinen Ansatz zur Bildgestaltung, teile ihn aber nicht“, dann würden wir vermutlich alle besser miteinander auskommen. – Was die Exif-Daten angeht, so war mir das während des Reviews auch aufgefallen, letztendlich gehe ich aber immer von guten Absichten aus. Nochmals beste Grüße nach Deutschland. Wenn ich mal wieder in der alten Heimat bin, würde ich mich über ein persönliches Kennenlernen sehr freuen. Bis dahin, --Frank Schulenburg ([[User talk:Frank Schulenburg|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 06:26, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Manch eine Bewertung würde ich auch gerne etwas anders schreiben, aber oft genug reicht mein Englisch dafür leider nicht. Der Tonfall hier geht meiner Meinung nach noch, zumindest bei den meisten. Da habe ich insbesondere in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia schon anderes erlebt. Letzten Endes hat dies dazu geführt, dass ich dort nur noch selten aktiv. Hier bei Wikimedia Commons fehlt mir so etwas wie wie QI auf fotografischer Ebene, nicht mit der Wikipedia-Brille und auch mal ohne das Wow bei FP. Aber ganz ehrlich: Auf meinem fotografischen Werdegang haben mir hier einige Fotografinnen und Fotografen mit ihrer sachlichen und begründeten Argumentation sehr geholfen. Hier gab es keine flapsige Abwertungen im Stil von "ich mag keine Glasfassaden" wie bei Wikipedia. ... Solltest du mal in Deutschland sein, melde dich gerne. Vielleicht klappt ja mal ein Treffen. Es würde mich freuen. (Vielleicht klappt es auch mal in deiner Region. Meine erste Reise an die Westküste der USA hat mich so sehr begeistert, dass ich dort gerne noch einmal hin möchte.) --XRay ^talk 07:23, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-22

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki. Global preferences will come to the Wikipedias later this week. [129][130]
• It is now easier for blocked mobile users to see why they were blocked. [131]
• Wikidata now supports lexicographical data. This helps describe words.
• There is now a checkbox on Special:ListUsers to let you see only users in temporary user groups. [132]
• Some rare invisible Unicode characters have recently been banned from page titles. This includes soft hyphens (U+00AD) and left-to-right (U+2066) and right-to-left (U+2067) isolate markers. Existing pages with these characters will soon be moved by a script. [133]
• There's a new Wikimedia Foundation team to support the Wikimedia technical communities. It's called the Technical Engagement team. Most of the team members did similar work in other teams before this. [134]

Problems

• Some translatable pages are showing old translations instead of latest ones. The cause of this issue has been fixed. We will update all pages automatically to show the latest translations. [135]

Changes later this week

• There will be a new special page named PasswordPolicies. This page gives information about the password rules for each user group on that wiki. [136]
• A new way to see moved paragraphs in diffs is coming to most wikis. This is to make it easier to find the moved paragraphs and the changes in them. [137]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 May. It will be on all wikis from 31 May (calendar).
• Wikis can enable Citoid to provide automatic reference look-up in the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. This is complex. The tool will now disable itself if the configuration isn't correct. It has warned about this in the JavaScript console since February. Check that your wiki is configured correctly. You can ask for help if you need it. [138]

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 29 May at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 30 May at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Content Translation drafts which have not been updated in over a year will be removed. This allows other users to translate those articles. [139]
• A survey is collecting information on what users think about how Wikimedia wiki pages are loaded. This information could be used in future development. [140]
• Some wikis will switch to use the Remex parsing library. This is to replace Tidy. It will happen on 30 May and 13 June. Wikis with fewer than 100 linter issues in the main namespace in all high-priority linter categories will switch. This includes Wikidata. Tidy will probably be removed on all wikis in the first week of July. [141][142]

Hi Dietmar - I followed a link to suggestions you had made in the discussion about focus stacking about improving QI. I came across your little heart logo and the 'selection' idea which I would love to copy. How would I do that please. Charles ([[User talk:Charlesjsharp|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 15:38, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

It's not easy. It is a combination of one of user categories and a feature of my bot. I didn't found an easy function for this. My personal selection are good pictures, sometimes FP, sometimes not. I've created this category since my images with my 30 mpx camera are often treated as unsharp - at 100 percent view. (See Commons_talk:Featured_picture_candidates#Resolution_and_100_percent_views) A misunderstandig of a lot of reviewers. I can explain a manual way for the heart: Create a suitable category, add the files to the category. For each file you can add something like {{Top icon|imagename=Nuvola apps package favorite.svg|wikilink=Category:Photographs by Dietmar Rabich/Photographs selection|description=Photographs selection by the author|width=20|height=20|sortkey=zzz}}. That's the icon top right. --XRay ^talk 17:02, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try it. Charles ([[User talk:Charlesjsharp|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 10:58, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Sorry about all the fuss at the Village Pump. Following that debate, I've designed a favourites gallery User:Charlesjsharp/favourites based on the FP layout which you might like. Only done my mammals so far. Charles ([[User talk:Charlesjsharp|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 11:58, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Template:Ping I didn't know user categories for favorites are not allowed. I've seen the discussion, too much for my small english vocabulary. A gallery of favorites is only a solution for few images. I'd galleries before, but I can't handle with galleries with hundreds of images. I still add a favorite flag (handled by one of my templates) to my images and I'm looking for an alternative for the categories. The favorite tool isn't a solution because of the galleries and it's only in english. --XRay ^talk 12:13, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-23

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The MonoBook skin has been optimised for mobile devices. It now looks different. [143]
• Planet Wikimedia collects blogs about Wikimedia. It will now use the Rawdog feed aggregator to do this instead of Planet. [144][145]
• Redirect links in Special:WhatLinksHere now link to the original page and not the target page. This was done earlier and changed the used messages on some pages. This was a problem for wikis that customized the message. A new change fixed this by using the old messages with one more parameter for customization. Wikis that already changed their customized messages will have to move the customization back again. [146]

Problems

• You will not be able to edit some wikis between 06:00 and 06:30 UTC on 13 June. You can see if your wiki is one of them.
• MassMessage did not work 24–28 May. This is also why last week's Tech News was late. [147]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 5 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 6 June. It will be on all wikis from 7 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 5 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 6 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This is planned to happen in June or early July. [148][149]

Tech News: 2018-24

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• In the Wikipedia app for Android or iOS users can create reading lists. The reading lists can be seen on different devices if you are logged in to your account. There is now a browser extension so you can add pages to your reading list from a web browser. At the moment it works with Firefox and Chrome. [150]
• There is a new version of Pywikibot. Pywikibot is a tool to automate tasks on MediaWiki wikis. [151]

Problems

• The MonoBook skin was changed to make it work better for mobile users. This caused some problems. The change was rolled back to fix them. The new version is now back on the wikis. MonoBook users can opt out from the new responsive design. [152]

Changes later this week

• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. For most wikis this will happen on 18 June. For the rest it will happen on 25 June. [153][154]

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 June. It will be on all wikis from 14 June (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the Readers Web team IRC office hour. There you can discuss tools to contribute on the mobile web for the existing MediaWiki skins. The meeting will be on 18 June at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 12 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You will be able to move local wiki files to Commons and keep their original data intact. This is planned to come to the first wikis in June.

Recent changes

• Syntax highlighting has been a beta feature on Wikimedia wikis with text written from left to right. It is now a normal feature. It is based on CodeMirror. [155]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 19 June at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 June at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Some old web browsers will not be able to read the Wikimedia wikis. This is because they use an insecure way to connect to them. This means that we get less security for everyone else too. This affects about 0.08% of all traffic to the Wikimedia wikis. This affects for example those who read Wikipedia on a PlayStation 3. [156][157]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. Because there is no new MediaWiki version this week it will happen on 25 June for most wikis. For the rest it will happen in early July. [158][159]
• All wikis that have not already done so will switch to use the Remex parsing library on 5 July. This is to replace Tidy. You can help fix remaining errors. [160]

Hinweis zur Teilnahme an WikiDaheim

Hallo XRay, ich habe gesehen, dass du Bilder hochgeladen hast, die im Scope von WikiDaheim liegen könnten, z.B. Wien,_Zentralfriedhof,_Alter_Jüdischer_Friedhof_--_2018_--_3215.jpg. Damit die Bilder an unserem Fotowettbewerb teilnehmen können, müssen sie mit der Commons-Vorlage WikiDaheim und dem entsprechenden Thema (topic) gekennzeichnet werden. Dies geschieht automatisch, wenn du die Bilder über unsere App https://Wikidaheim.at oder über die diversen Listen (Denkmallisten, Naturdenkmallisten, Public Art Listen, etc. in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia) hochlädst. Bei anderen Upload-Wegen musst du selbst dafür sorgen, dass das Bild mit den richtigen Bausteinen markiert ist um am Wettbewerb teilzunehmen. Technische Hilfe dazu findest du unter de:Wikipedia Diskussion:WikiDaheim. Natürlich steht dir die Teilnahme mit deinen Bildern frei. lg --Herzi Pinki ([[User talk:Herzi Pinki|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 08:22, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Danke für den Hinweis. Ich schaue mal, ob ich ein paar Bilder beisteuern kann. Ich musste übrigens schon feststellen, dass es trotz der vielen Touristen selbst in der Inneren Stadt Ecken gibt, die sich in Wikimedia Commons kaum oder gar nicht wiederfinden. Da müsste man mehr Zeit haben. So habe ich nur die paar Bilder der Stadtbesichtigung, teilweise nicht einmal in ausreichender Qualität. Aber dafür bleibt leider keine Zeit und das Equipment ist dank Fluggepäck stark gekürzt. Ein paar Bilder kommen noch, dann sind alle meine Wien-Bilder. Es ist manchmal ganz schön schwer, die passenden Kategorien zu finden. Den russischen Friedhof, den du netterweise zugeordnet hast, habe ich gestern lange ergebnislos gesucht. Die Kategorie des Zentralfriedhofs ist einfach zu unübersichtlich. --XRay ^talk 09:29, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Template:Ping Zumindest eine Kategorie fehlt wohl noch: Category:Media from WikiDaheim 2018 in Austria/Cemeteries. Das wäre für meine hochgeladenen Bilder von gestern. Kannst du vielleicht mal schauen? Danke. --XRay ^talk 09:42, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Kat angelegt.

Zu den fehlenden Ecken, jede Menge, aber die Attraktion der Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten ... Ricardalovesmonuments hat unlängst erst eine ganze Reihe von Bildern von Gründerzeithäusern (das sind die, die gerade flächendeckend abgerissen werden) gemacht, wo noch nix da war. Maclemo macht einen auf Gedenktafeln (z.B. de:Liste_der_Gedenktafeln_und_Gedenksteine_in_Wien/Landstraße), Thomas Ledl in Gemeindebauten, Bwag in Verbesserung von bereits existierenden Abbildungen. und viele andere mehr. Es gibt kein Ziel, es gibt keinen Plan, es gibt keine Organisation, it's a wiki. Aber vielleicht hilft der Wettbewerb, die Augen der FotografInnen zu öffnen und mehr Bilder von noch nicht fotografierten Ecken zu bekommen. Wobei die Dörfer noch wesentlich unterbelichteter sind als die großen Städte.

Zum Zentralfriedhof: stimme dir zu, da ist ein Benutzer wie der Wirbelwind drüber gefahren und hat alles in klein-klein zerlegt. Diskussion war nicht. Macher sind im Vorteil gegenüber Diskutanten. Vorschlag? lg --Herzi Pinki ([[User talk:Herzi Pinki|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 10:19, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Ihr habt wenigstens Aktive. In meiner Region gibt es zu wenige. Es ist total mühsam, Leute zu motivieren. Was den Zentralfriedhof angeht: Ich würde erstmal die ganzen namentlich bekannten Grabstätte aus der zentralen Kategorie werfen. Die stehen auch bei den alphabetisch geordneten Kategorien. Dann hatte ich versucht, mich an den Gruppen zu orientieren, denn die stehen auf den Plänen. Diese Kategorien gibt es nicht vollständig. Und die besonderen Bereiche habe ich vor lauter Kategorien auch nicht gefunden. Für eine Mausoleum habe ich gestern bestimmt eine Stunde gebraucht, bis ich was passendes fand. Ähnlich ging es mir übrigens auch am Stephansdom, der wiederum zu wenig gegliedert ist. Oft lege ich die Kategorien ja selbst an, aber in einer Stadt mit vielen Aktiven lasse ich das. Da gibt es oft spezielle Kenntnisse und Vorlieben und auf große Diskutiererei habe ich keine Lust. Diese Diskussionen kosten nur Zeit und bringen meist nichts. --XRay ^talk 10:59, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018

Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!

Community updates

• Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd ^webchat
• Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.

Things to do / input and feedback requests

• A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.

• Join the community focus group!
• Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
• Contribute to the next newsletter.

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fix

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

1. m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Tech News: 2018-28

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• WebM video files have smaller file size but still be of the same quality. Creating WebM files will take longer time. [166]
• The new filters for edit review tools and interface for watchlists will leave beta. This was supposed to already have happened but was delayed. For most wikis this will happen on 9 July. For the rest it will happen on 16 July. [167]
• All wikis now use the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy. This could cause errors. You can help fix the errors. [168]

Problems

• When you rolled back an edit it could get both the Rollback and Undo tags. This has been fixed. [169]
• Rollbacks from autopatrolled users were not marked as patrolled. This has been fixed. [170]

Changes later this week

• When you edit a link in the visual editor there will be two separate buttons to change which page the link goes to (target) or its text (label). [171][172]
• On the mobile version you can find a link to an editor's contributions from their user page. Now this will work even if they haven't created a user page. [173]
• When you edit a discussion on the mobile version you sometimes get your signature automatically added. This will now not happen if you have already added a signature manually. This is to avoid double signatures. [174]
• Structured discussions toolbars will have more style options. [175]
• When you look at Wikimedia code in Gerrit there will be a new interface. It is on by default for new users. This is also true for developers. This is to make it easier to understand what is happening. [176]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 10 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 11 July. It will be on all wikis from 12 July (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 10 July at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 11 July at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Today all administrators can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. There will be a new user group for editing CSS and JavaScript. Administrators will no longer automatically be able to do this. This is because it is a security risk when all administrator accounts can edit JavaScript even if they never plan to or do not know how it works. You can read more. [177]
• Page previews will be on by default for new accounts. [178]

Kamera

Hallo Dietmar, bist Du auf Nikon DX umgestiegen? Viele Grüße! --Code ([[User talk:Code|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:54, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Template:Ping Nein, nein. Ich bin da recht günstig dran gekommen. Sie ist meine Drittkamera, ideal zum Radfahren. ;-) Die 5D ist in der Werkstatt, der Sensor ist nach einem Kirmesbesuch durchgebrannt. Ist eine etwas längere Geschichte. --XRay ^talk 15:04, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Template:Ping Jetzt habe ich etwas Zeit, da gibt es noch einen Info-Nachschlag. Ende Mai war ich auf einer Kirmes. Am Auto-Scooter habe ich wegen des Lichtspiels Aufnahmen gemacht. Zum Lichtspiel gehörte ein Laser. Die Kamera auf dem Stativ mit Liveview hat das mitbekommen. Erst zwei Wochenenden später hatte ich Zeit, mir die Bilder anzusehen, u. a. Stade, Teufelsmoor und Wien. Ein Fleck in allen Aufnahmen. Den habe ich zurückverfolgt bis zur Kirmes. Dort waren es dann rund 30 ausgefallene Pixel, nach Wien etwa 100 Pixel. Die Kamera ist seitdem in Reparatur. Erst hatte sie Canon gereinigt und aus ihrer Sicht OK zurückgeschickt. Natürlich war sie noch defekt und ging mit weiteren Belegen wieder zum Service. Irgendwann hatten sie den Fehler diagnostiziert und nannten die Kosten. Seitdem hoffe ich quasi jeden Tag, dass die Kamera wieder da ist. Heute halt nicht. Ersatzweise nutze ich solange meine 70D oder die Nikon. --XRay ^talk 17:53, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Ohje, das klingt nicht gut. Und es klingt teuer. Meine läuft zum Glück bislang super. Bin sehr zufrieden. Tolle Kamera. War zwar teuer, aber aus meiner Sicht hat sich die Investition absolut gelohnt. Meinst Du, der Defekt kam durch das Live-View? Tauscht Canon jetzt den kompletten Sensor aus? Grüße! --Code ([[User talk:Code|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 19:30, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

Ist nicht wirklich toll. Ich vermisse die Kamera auch, denn die Bildqualität ist schon deutlich besser. Aber sie kommt wieder. Live-View war nur ein Teileffekt. Ob der Laser selbst die Ursache ist, weiß ich nicht. Ich klappere derzeit auch die relevanten Versicherungen ab, sowohl meine Fotoversicherung als auch die Haftpflicht des Betreibers. Die Grund ist die zu lange Einwirkung des Lasers auf den Sensor. Die Laser an den Fahrgeschäften müssen so sein, dass sie zum Beispiel die Netzhaut nicht schädigen dürfen. Die Wirkung setzt sich aus der Stärke des Lasers und der Dauer der Einwirkung zusammen. Die Stärke wird vermutlich passen, bei der Dauer dürfte der Grund zu finden sein. Mit Live-View ist das Objektiv offen und das Licht wirkt so relativ lang auf den Sensor ein. Daher die Vermutung, dass Live-View seinen Anteil hatte. Ich kenne das im Grunde schon von Nachtaufnahmen. Bei einer längeren Nachtsitzung mit vielen Life-View-Aktionen wird der Sensor schneller wärmer. Bei meinen vorigen Kameras wie der EOS 600D hat sich das durchaus so bemerkbar gemacht, dass die Anzahl der Hot-Pixel zunahm. --XRay ^talk 05:38, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Hallo,

[sorry for my englis] Thanks to appreciate this picture. Why the categorization should be improved ?
It's : Category:Rue des Ateliers 16 à Gilly - sgraffite -> Category:Art Nouveau sgraffito in Charleroi -> Category:Sgraffito in Charleroi -> Category:Sgraffito in Belgium -> Category:Sgraffito by country -> Category:Sgraffito

File:Heiligengrabe, Kloster Stift zum Heiligengrabe, Abtei, Appartement im Dormitorium -- 2017 -- 7254-60.jpg

Could you explain, please, what "Abtei" means in the German description? Does it mean "home of the abbot/abbess" as de:Abtei says? BTW. I don't think that "abbey" in English also means "home of the abbot". --jdx ^Re: 15:42, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

That's a question. Much easier than the answer. I'm a german native speaker, but not a religious terms native speaker. In german a "Abtei" is a monastery with an abbot or abbess as governance. So it's a religious building. The "Dormitorium" (dormitory) are the rooms, where the nuns sleep. The Heiligengrabe monastery is small, so the (former) dormitory are the guest rooms today. I think abbey is a good translation, see en:Abbey. It's not the home of the abbot or abbess, nor in german or english, but it's under the governance of an abbot or abbess. Hopefully a good answer ... --XRay ^talk 17:10, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Then shouldn't the description be "Appartement im Dormitorium in dem Kloster…"? BTW. de:Abtei says: Abtei steht auch – wo vorhanden – für das Haus oder den Wohntrakt des Abtes, auch Abtshaus oder Prälatur genannt. Sie besteht aus Wohnräumen für den Abt, meist einer eigenen Kapelle, manchmal einem eigenen Kreuzgang, dem sogenannten Abtshof und einem eigenen Garten.. I'm not fluent in German, but for me it means (more or less) "house of the abbot". --jdx ^Re: 20:56, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

You think it's twice, "Abtei" and "Kloster"? IMO difficult, but I (hopefully) understand the problem. The monastery consists of more buildings than the abbey. It is not really the same. There are abbey, cemetery, church, chapel, garden and more buildings in the Heiligengrabe monastery. --XRay ^talk 05:14, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Exactly, I think that one of these nouns Abtei/abbey or Kloster/monastery is redundant because IMO usually, in case of Christian monasteries, abbey=monastery. Although, contrary to you, I think that in general an abbey is "bigger" than a monastery. --jdx ^Re: 06:51, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

I'll check this. Thank you. --XRay ^talk 07:02, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

IMO the description is OK. It's the abbey within the monastery. Please have a look to the map: [204] --XRay ^talk 08:34, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

OK, I get it. Thanks. --jdx ^Re: 16:51, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Tournasol7 ([[User talk:Tournasol7|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:39, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know. IMO it is really difficult to find these cultural heritage monuments. Some district publish the information with map and geo coordinates, some publish nothing. Someting I asked the local government, but very often I'm looking at the german Wikipedia. I would be happy to see good informations like in France or Austria. --XRay ^talk 15:52, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much for your reply! Tournasol7 ([[User talk:Tournasol7|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 22:17, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• There is a new user right for users who can edit CSS and JavaScript for the entire wiki. Before this all admins could edit CSS and JavaScript. This was a security risk. This group is called interface administrators. Administrators can delete user CSS and JavaScript pages. [206][207]
• There will be an A/B test on the Wikipedia mobile website. It starts this week. It tests how we show templates that show information about an article. The test will last two weeks. [208][209]
• You can now use different CSS rules for different skins when you edit templates. This is because of TemplateStyles. [210]
• wp10 in ORES is now called articlequality. [211]
• When you get a new message on your talk page you get a yellow message in the toolbar. The preference to show or not show this has been removed. [212]

Problems

• UploadWizard had problems with campaigns. Users could not upload files. This has now been fixed. [213]
• You can get a notification when a link is made to a page you created. This has not worked since June. It was fixed last week. [214]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 4 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 5 September. It will be on all wikis from 6 September (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Readers department will work on advanced mobile editing. You can read more about this and other things they plan to work on over the next year. You can also see the presentation.
• The RelatedSites extension will be removed from Wikivoyage.
• Unused projects on the Wikimedia Cloud virtual private server will be removed. This will happen in October. Projects can be marked if they are being used. [215]

Wiki Loves Earth 2018

Hallo [[:#titleparts:PAGENAME]],

im Namen von Organisationsteam und Jury danke ich Dir für Deine Teilnahme bei Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland.

Im Jahr 2018 wurden ebenso wie im Vorjahr etwa 24.000 Fotos hochgeladen, von denen viele die Artikel und Listen der Wikipedia illustrieren werden. Die Teilnehmerzahl lag diesmal bei 683, im Vorjahr waren es 1063.

Unsere Jury hat die Top100 der Bilder aus Deutschland ausgewählt. Die zehn bestplatzierten Fotos nehmen an der internationalen Ausscheidung teil.

Falls Du Lust auf einen weiteren Fotowettbewerb hast: Im September läuft Wiki Loves Monuments, wo Bilder von denkmalgeschützten Gebäuden eingereicht werden können.

Freundliche Grüße.

Tech News: 2018-37

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• When you added or edited a template with the visual editor the input boxes were very big. This has been fixed. The input boxes will now be smaller until you click on them. Then they will change size to fit the text. [216]

Problems

• Some diffs showed lines in the wrong order. This was fixed last week. [217]
• Marking a cross-wiki notification as read didn't work every time. The other wiki was not updated. This has now been fixed. [218]
• <maplink> did not work for a few days. This was because of a bug. This has now been fixed. [219]
• {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} is used by some templates. For a period edits saved with {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} would save the previous user's name and not your username. This is now fixed. Edits made before the bug was fixed will still be wrong and need to be corrected. [220]
• When you move a page the title still shows the old page name. The developers are working on fixing this. [221]

Changes later this week

• Because of a data centre test you will be able to read but not edit the wikis for up to an hour on 12 September and 10 October. This will start at 14:00 (UTC). You might lose edits if you try to save during this time. The time when you can't edit might be shorter than an hour. You can read more about this.
• Because of the data centre test there will be no new version of MediaWiki this week. Changes for this week will come next week instead.

Meetings

• You can join the next meeting with the Editing team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 11 Septmber at 18:30 (UTC). See how to join.
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 September at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The developers work on making the wikis work better on mobile phones. There is a list of common problems when making content easier to read in the mobile view. You can add things to the page and ask others to help.

Wiki Loves Monuments ti aspetta, con centinaia di nuovi comuni fotografabili

Concorso Wiki Loves Monuments Italia 2018 (English version)

Gentile XRay, ti ringraziamo ancora una volta per la tua passata partecipazione a Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM). Il più grande concorso fotografico del mondo si svolge anche questo settembre per documentare e promuovere il patrimonio culturale italiano, con una licenza copyright libera.

Quest'anno è doppiamente facile partecipare: gli oggetti fotografabili coprono quasi 1000 comuni in più, grazie all'adesione di centinaia di nuovi enti fra cui Roma, e alla possibilità di fotografare circa 2000 alberi monumentali. Controlla le liste di monumenti fotografabili! Carica tutte le foto che hai e magari organizza una visita presso i monumenti che ancora non hanno una foto.

Quest'oggi il Parlamento europeo ha respinto la proposta di estendere la libertà di panorama. E allora scattiamo e pubblichiamo tutte le foto che possiamo, almeno per questi monumenti per cui ci è legalmente consentito!

Grazie, Nemo 16:11, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Recent changes

• Ordinary pages can no longer be loaded as javascript. You could do this using ?action=raw&ctype=text/javascript in the URL. Only fully protected pages in the MediaWiki: namespace or user javascript subpages can be loaded as javascript now. This is for better security. [227][228]

Problems

• New and updated translations from translatewiki.net will not reach the wikis for a while. You can still translate messages on translatewiki.net. The Wikimedia wikis will be updated with the new translations later. This is because of work on the translation system. [229][230]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 2 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 3 October. It will be on all wikis from 4 October (calendar).

Hello! A few months ago the Wikimedia Foundation invited you to take a survey about your experiences on Wikipedia. You signed up to receive the results. The report is now published on Meta-Wiki! We asked contributors 170 questions across many different topics like diversity, harassment, paid editing, Wikimedia events and many others.

Read the report or watch the presentation, which is available only in English. Add your thoughts and comments to the report talk page. Feel free to share the report on Wikipedia/Wikimedia or on your favorite social media. Thanks!

Hilfe in Commons benötigt

Hallo Dietmar,

du hattest mir letztes Jahr in meiner Anfangszeit mal deine Hilfe bei Fragen angeboten worauf ich jetzt gerne mal zurückgreifen würde. Ich habe 50 Fotos vom gestrigen Münsterlandgiro hochgeladen und diese auf commons momentan u.a. in der Kategorie "Gescher" einsortiert. Leider bin ich im Neuanlegen von Kategorien noch nicht wirklich fit, wünsche mir aber innerhalb "Gescher" die Unterkategorie "Events in Gescher" und dann am besten bereits eine Unterkategorie zum Giro in Gescher. Kannst du da helfen? Einsortieren würde ich die Bilder da wohl selbstständig, nur beim Anlegen der Kategorie bin ich noch was unsicher...

Dankeschön und beste Grüße aus Gescher Tetzemann ([[User talk:Tetzemann|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 10:31, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Kategorien anzulegen ist einfach. Allerdings gibt es keine Unterkategorien, denn alle sind gleichwertig. Das ist zum Beispiel dann relevant, wenn es die Kategorie auch in anderen Fällen geben kann. So ist Category:Hauptstraße nicht eindeutig und muss in den jeweiligen Orten durch den Ortsnamen ergänzt werden. Nun zu deiner Kategorie. Zwei Schritte dazu: Folge einfach dem Link Category:Events in Gescher und trage dort mindestens [[Category:Gescher]] ein. Speichern und fertig. Schau vielleicht noch bei anderen Städten, welche Kategorie man noch eintragen könnte. (Hilfreich ist auch das Helferlein Hotcat. --XRay ^talk 14:19, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-42

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• Some pages, edits and users disappeared for a short while after the server switch. Missing content and users was fixed within a day. Some preferences and other things might take a few more days to fix. [233]
• Wikis are updated with new and updated translations from translatewiki.net again. This will happen once a week. The developers are working on fixing the problem so we can have translation updates more often again. [234]

Changes later this week

• When you create an abuse filter that prevents edits you can now write a specific error message for it. Before this all abuse filters that prevented edits had the same error message. [235]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 October. It will be on all wikis from 18 October (calendar).

Meetings

• There will be no more meetings with the Editing team. This is because not enough Wikimedians were interested. To tell developers which bugs you think are the most important you can use Phabricator as normal. [236]
• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 17 October at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

• The wikis now have a content security policy report. This means that you might get a warning in your javascript console when you load external resources in your user scripts. For security reasons it is recommended that you don't do this. It might not be possible to load external resources in your scripts in the future. [237]

Problems

• Your watchlist can show which changes you have already seen. This did not work for a few days. It has been fixed. [238]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 October. It will be on all wikis from 1 November (calendar).
• The 2006 wikitext editor is no longer available. It will be removed from Special:Preferences. It has not been the standard editor for a long time. It was replaced by the 2010 wikitext editor. [239][240]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now use TemplateWizard to edit templates. This works only with the 2010 wikitext editor and not in the visual editor or the 2017 wikitext editor. If you click on you can enter the information in a pop-up. You can turn on TemplateWizard in your beta feature preferences. [241]

Changes later this week

• You can choose to see edit conflicts in a two-column view. This is a beta feature. You can find it in your preferences. The interface for the two-column edit conflict will change. You can read more.
• When you edit with the visual editor you can use the "Automatic" citation tab. This helps you generate citations. You will now be able to write plain text citations or the title of a journal article or a book in this tab. This will search the Crossref and WorldCat databases and add the top result. [242]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 November. It will be on all wikis from 8 November (calendar).

Recent changes

• Some old mobile browsers can use the watchlist again. This has not worked for a while. These browsers are called grade C browsers. This helps for example Windows Phone 8.1 with Internet Explorer and Lumia 535 with Windows 10. [243]

Problems

• You can choose to see edit conflicts in a two-column view. This is a beta feature. You can find it in your preferences. Users who use this view saw the edit conflict resolution page when they wanted to see a preview. This has been fixed. [244][245][246]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 13 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 14 November. It will be on all wikis from 15 November (calendar).

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 14 November at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You can use the content translation tool to translate articles. The developers are working on a new version. One of the changes will be a maintenance category. Articles where users add a lot of text from machine translation without changing it will be in that category. This is so the community can review it. The users will also have been warned before they publish the article that it has a lot of unchanged text from machine translations. [247]

Wiki Loves Earth 2018

Hallo ROOTPAGENAME,

vom 1. bis 31. Mai 2018 können beim Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Earth Deutschland wieder Landschafts- und Naturfotos eingereicht werden. Sie sollen in Schutzgebieten aufgenommen worden sein. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn Du auch dieses Jahr mitmachst.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen, als Einstiegsseite kann diese Karte dienen.

Als ehemaliger Teilnehmer kannst Du bis Ende April bei der Wahl der Jury abstimmen.

Da viele tausend Bilder zu bewerten sind, wird die sogenannte Vorjury ab Anfang Mai eine Vorauswahl der eingereichten Bilder übernehmen. Deine Beteiligung daran ist ausdrücklich erwünscht. Bei Interesse trage Dich bitte unter WLE-Vorjury ein, das Passwort kommt dann per E-Mail.

Wir wünschen viel Freude beim Fotografieren,

--Blech ([[User talk:Blech|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) April 2018

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can vote on proposals in the Community Wishlist Survey. The survey decides what the Community Tech team will work on. You can vote until 30 November.
• There is an A/B test for sameAs data. This is to make it easier to find the right information with a search engine. This changes the metadata for a wiki page. It doesn't change how the page looks. [248]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 21 November at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia wikis use templates to show readers there are problems with the content on some pages. For example if there are no sources or the page needs to be rewritten. The mobile website will soon show more information when you use these templates. Some templates may need to be updated. [249]
• The Education Program extension was removed from all Wikimedia projects. The database tables used by the extension will be archived. This will happen in a month. If you want the information on your wiki you should move it to a normal wiki page. [250]

QI: Sortierfehler

Falls jemand Fragen bezüglich der Sortierungen in "Quality images of cultural heritage monuments in ..." hat: Commons:Forum#Kategorien_für_Quality_images. Ich sehe es als Gefallen für den Mitstreiter. Es ist eine Einmalaktion! Sorry, falls Fehler aufgetreten sein sollten.

---

Hi, in Niedersachsen waren Bilder aus Japan, Amerika, Frankreich und Bayern. Bitte guck mal nach weiteren Fällen. --Te750iv ([[User talk:Te750iv|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 12:09, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Template:Ping Ich dachte gerade noch, es kann nicht lange dauern, bis mir diese Infos mitgeteilt werden. Es ist leider nicht möglich, alle Fälle zu berücksichtigen. Manche Bilder und Kategorien sind über verschlungene Wege Niedersachsen zugeordnet. Ich versuche ja so viel zu vermeiden, wie es möglich ist. Leider geht nicht alles. Der Bot macht das auch nur genau einmal für jedes Bundesland - und heute schaffe ich nicht alles. Ein Teil dieser fehlgeleiteten Bilder nehme ich direkt vorher heraus, manche nach dem Einsortieren und bei dem Rest hoffe ich auf aufmerksame Mitstreiterinnen und Mitstreiter wie dich! Ansonsten: Hier ist der Ursprung. Hoffentlich habe ich nicht zu viele fehlgeleitete Bilder. Danke auf jeden Fall! --XRay ^talk 12:15, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Danke für den Diskussionslink. Das ist ja ein umfangreiches Vorhaben. Bei der US-Freileitung sehe ich in den höheren Kategorien keine Querverbindung zu Niedersachsen oder Denkmälern, auch nicht über die versteckten Kategorien. --Te750iv ([[User talk:Te750iv|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 12:32, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Irgendwo muss sie sein. Aber es ist ja nicht ganz so tragisch, weil der Bot nicht wieder für Niedersachsen läuft. Die Ursprungsabfrage lief über 12 Ebenen. Kandidaten für solche Kategorien sind beispielsweise Firmen, die ihren Standort in Niedersachsen haben, aber ihre Produkte auch außerhalb von Niedersachsen verkaufen, oder User aus Niedersachen, die ihre User-Kategorien irgendwohin verlinken, oder ... Ich stecke ja auch schon Handarbeit hinein. Als du geschrieben hast, war ich mit Niedersachsen noch beschäftigt. --XRay ^talk 12:43, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Dagegen, dass nunmehr irgendwann Hunderte von meinen Fotos (und nicht nur meinen), von Category:Quality images of cultural heritage monuments in North Rhine-Westphalia nach Category:Quality images of cultural heritage monuments in Cologne ohne Rücksicht darauf verschoben werden, dass sie bereits in Category:Quality images of Cologne enthalten sind, protestiere ich schon mal vorsorglich. Wer einen Bot bei Masseneinsätzen an Unmengen von Dateien betreibt, muss schon darauf achten, nicht wie ein Elefant im Porzellanladen zu agieren. --A.Savin 16:32, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Danke für den Tipp. Das ist wohl nur in NRW so, aber du hast recht, es ist nun überkategorisiert. Das dürfte dann wahrscheinlich auch andere NRW-Städte betreffen. Ich schaue mal, dass ich die Fehler behebe. Kann aber etwas dauern. Ich bitte um Nachsicht. --XRay ^talk 16:50, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Ich habe deinen Hinweis direkt bei Commons:Forum#Kategorien_für_Quality_images ergänzt. Hier ist nicht die passende Stelle für die Diskussion darüber. Es ist auch gar keine Diskussion wert, es ist halt unvollständig. Die Überkategorisierung muss noch weg. --XRay ^talk 16:57, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Ähm. Ich habe jetzt ganze 7 Bilder gefunden, die so überkategorisiert waren. Für Köln ist der Fehler somit behoben. --XRay ^talk 17:01, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Die Fehler bei den anderen Kategorien sind behoben. Ich hoffe, du siehst es mir - ohne Groll - nach, dass man auch mal einen Fehler machen kann. --XRay ^talk 17:08, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Hallo, I notice that the bot is inappropriatly attribuing files of artwork located in Italy to the category "Quality images of cultural heritage monuments in Rhineland-Palatinate)" like this one File:Fresco SAcun.jpg.

Tech News: 2018-48

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• On wikis with translatable pages you could create a mess when you moved a page that had translatable subpages. A subpage is when you use / to create a new page: /wiki/Page/Subpage. The subpages would be moved but not the translations. The subpages are no longer automatically be moved. This is to make it safer to move pages. [251]

Changes later this week

• The advanced search interface will be available by default on all Wikimedia wikis. It makes it easier to use some of the special search functions that most editors don't know exist. It's already active on German, Farsi, Arabic and Hungarian Wikipedia. [252]
• Special:UnusedCategories show empty categories with no files or other categories. You can soon choose to not show soft redirect categories or some maintenance categories there. You can do this with the magic word __EXPECTUNUSEDCATEGORY__. [253]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 November. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 November. It will be on all wikis from 29 November (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 28 November at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The mw.util.jsMessage() function was deprecated in 2012. It will be removed next week. Look for the warning Use of "mw.util.jsMessage" is deprecated in the JavaScript console to know if you use an affected script or gadget. If you are a gadget maintainer you should check if your JavaScript code contains mw.util.jsMessage. There is a migration guide. It explains how to use mw.notify instead. [254]

XRayBot File:IR15 – Lorette-Kapelle.jpg nicht Münster

Hallo XRay, es geht um die Änderung Lorette-Kapelle -> 1914 in Münster.

Die Kapelle steht in Frankreich, "bei Lens und Arras" (de:Lorettoschlacht), nicht in Münster, da hat der Bot etwa zu pauschal kategorisiert. Daher der Revert. Gute Grüße, --Edfyr ([[User talk:Edfyr|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 16:14, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Den gleichen Fehler machte der Bot bei: File:Detmold - Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz - Kriegerdenkmal (5).jpg und xxx(1-4). Das Category:Infanterie-Regiment „Graf Bülow von Dennewitz“ (6. Westfälisches) Nr. 55 war zwar der Category:13. Division (Deutsches Kaiserreich) in Münster unterstellt, seine Standorte waren aber Detmold, Höxter und Bielefeld (de:Infanterie-Regiment „Graf Bülow von Dennewitz“ (6. Westfälisches) Nr. 55). Das Denkmal steht in Detmold. Mit guten Grüßen,--Edfyr ([[User talk:Edfyr|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 16:32, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Es gibt immer einen Weg von Münster zu den Bildern. Für solche Bilder habe ich eine Ausnahmeliste. Meist finde ich die Ausnahmen, meist, nicht immer. Danke für deinen Hinweis und sorry für die Umstände. --XRay ^talk 18:42, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [255]
• Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [256]
• You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [257]
• When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [258][259]

Changes later this week

• There is no new MediaWiki version this week.

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 5 December at 16:00 (UTC) and at 23:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Tech News: 2018-50

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 11 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 12 December. It will be on all wikis from 13 December (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 12 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• New accounts will need passwords that are at least 8 characters long. Admins, interface admins, bureaucrats, oversighters, CentralNotice admins, global renamers, check users, stewards and some other user groups will need passwords that are at least 10 characters long. This is because an attacker could cause damage to the wikis if they took over these accounts. [260][261]
• When you hover over a footnote it will show you the reference as a pop-up. This is so you don't have to jump down to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will happen in 2019. Some wikis already have gadgets that do this. You will be able to turn it off. [262]

Model of the cathedral at Michaelis square

Hallo,

ich bin damit immer noch nicht glücklich, ich hatte es mal mit VP3 (und mit dem Plugin bin ich echt zufrieden) geladen und habe noch andere Dinge gesehen. Dürfte vermutlich am "unvergessen Fleck" liegen, sprich wenn man weis, da war mal was, sieht man genauer hin. Ich habe es nicht hochgeladen, da Du das nicht leiden kannst und er aus dem jpeg die exif-Daten nicht sauber auslesen konnte (warum auch immer). Soll ich es mal als meine Interpretation dennoch schicken? Wohin dann? Gruß, Hans-Jürgen

Danke. Du kannst sie mir per Mail schicken. Es steht eine auf dieser Seite: [263]. Bin mal gespannt. Bei dieser Art Bilder streiten sich in der Regel die Geister. Ich hatte eine wunderbare Umsetzung gesehen, aber bin mit dieser auch nicht ganz glücklich ... wie mit manch anderer Umsetzung. Mal sehen, vielleicht gelingt mir nächste Woche eine bessere. --XRay ^talk 16:52, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Nur mal ein Beispiel. Die Fußgänger und Radfahrer sind schon irritierend. Mehr stört mich allerdings, dass der echte Dom im Hintergrund oben abgeschnitten ist. Das muss auch anders gehen. --XRay ^talk 16:54, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Tech News: 2018-51

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• Because of the holidays the next issue of Tech News will be sent out on 7 January 2019.

Recent changes

• Some templates that show notices about the content of the page will now be shown on the mobile website. In many cases they were hidden before. [264][265]
• Admins can no longer unblock themselves, except for self-blocks. A blocked admin can block the user who blocked them but no one else. This is so no one can block all admins on a wiki without being stopped. [266]
• The ParserMigration extension has been removed. It compared the result of two versions of the MediaWiki wikitext parsing pipeline. It was used when we moved to the Remex parsing library instead of Tidy.

Problems

• <ref> tags can use parameters such as "name" or "group". For example <ref name="adams" group="books">. If a <ref> tag has more than two parameters all parameters are ignored. You don't get a warning that they don't work. This will soon be fixed. [267]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 December. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 December. It will be on all wikis from 20 December (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 19 December at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• The Wikimedia Foundation Android app team are working on making it easier to edit on mobile phones. You can read more about these plans. If you have an Android phone and speak at least two languages you can help testing in English. Tell Dchen (WMF) you want to be part of the testing by writing on her talk page or email her.
• tiles.wmflabs.org and wma.wmflabs.org will stop working. They have no maintainers and run an old operating system. Tools which use it could stop working. This includes the mapnik gadget, hill shading, and hike and bike layers. New maintainers could help out and keep it going. [268]

Der Countdown für 2019 läuft

Hallo Dietmar, in der ruhigen Zeit, konnte ich mal wieder reinsehen.

Was ich nicht verstanden habe ist eines Deiner Kommentare zu E.3 Warum er massiv versucht QI zu erobern, ist mir zwar auch nicht ganz klar, er geht aber die Sache anders an (positiv) und ist frisches Blut was es hier wirklich braucht. Und Du bist einer der wenigen die auch mal fremde Arbeiten vorschlagen oder Anfängern Unterstützung anbieten. Von mir daher, Daumen hochǃ Mir geht es um "Why png?" Nach meinem Verständnis ist PNG das bessere Dateiformat für Fotos (hat nur den Nachteil der Größe) viele Fehler die sich bei jpeg finden werden umgangen, genauso wie für Druck immer noch sehr viele mit TIF arbeiten. Damit lassen sich mit 20 MB Plakate drucken. Vielleicht liege ich falsch, ich sehe es analog zu Musik-Dateien a la
jpeg = mp3 (lossy format)
PNG = FLAC
DNG = raw (PCM)
Wobei commons oft bei PNG die exif-Daten verliert, was aber mehr ein Commons-Fehler ist, habe ich bei jpg auch sehr oft. Ist wie bei WAV, PCM - Dateien, die werden selten getagged, was aber geht. Nur weil es keiner macht, soll nicht bedeuten, es geht nicht. PCM lauschen sonst nur so audiophile wie ich, jedenfalls ist jpg rechnerisch lange überholt, es lässt sich wie mp3 nur nicht totkriegen. Es setzt sich ja oft das einfachste, meist billigste und damit schlechteste Format durch. Wollte mal wissen, was dahinter steckt.

Ich wünsche Dir eine besinnliche Zeit und einen ruhigen Ablauf 2018, mit einem gesunden Start in´s neue Jahr.--Hans-Jürgen Neubert 10:10, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Lass 2019 kommen! Mein Engagement bei Commons wird sich allerdings ein wenig beruhigen, ich möchte mehr Zeit für's Fotografieren verwenden. Auf jeden Fall wünsche ich dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. E.3 habe ich ein paar Hinweise gegeben. Das frische Blut begrüße ich sehr, aber so manches geht eher daneben - beispielsweise die Beschreibungen und die Kategorisierungen. Es wirkt wie ein Engagement ohne auch nur irgendetwas gelesen zu haben. Aber dem kann ja geholfen werden. Und "Why PNG?". Tja. JP(e)G ist schlicht antiquiert und dringend ablösenswert. Das erwähne ich auch als Negativpunkt in meinen Fotokursen immer wieder. Aber selbst JPEG ginge besser, wird aber so gut wie nirgends unterstützt. PNG ist ein freies Format und hat diese Vorteile. Auch die Farbtiefe betreffend ist PNG sicherlich die bessere Wahl. Nur die Dateien sind meiner Erfahrung nach viel größer. Das benachteiligt eindeutig die Leute, die einen schwächeren Zugang zum Internet haben. Und ein unkomprimiertes JPEG mit 8 Bit Farbtiefe ist mit dem PNG und 8 Bit Farbtiefe durchaus ebenbürtig - bis auf die Dateigröße. Aber ob es wirklich ein eindeutiges Pro und Contra gibt, weiß ich nicht. PNG ist klar zu verwenden, wenn man Zeichnungen oder Grafiken erstellt - wenn's nicht SVG ist. Auch bei Transparenzen oder mehr als 8 Bit Farbtiefe ist PNG vorzuziehen. Nur bei den "traditionellen" Digitalfotos sehe ich noch immer JPG, allerdings meiner Meinung nach am besten mit 100% - ohne Komprimierung. Bei E.3 habe ich übrigens den Eindruck, dass er das JPEG-Bild erst in ein PNG konvertiert hat. Da hilft PNG halt gar nicht. Und Rohformate mag ich hier bei Commons auch nicht. Es sind halt Rohdaten. Das kann nicht im Sinne des Erfinders/Fotografen sein. BTW: PNG unterstützt weder EXIF noch IPTC. --XRay ^talk 10:43, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Ich werde mich hoffentlich auch in 2019 hüten, mich mit einem Mathematiker anzulegenː-) Solche Leute lesen erst, bevor sie was schreiben. IPTC? ging an mir vorbei. Verstehen werde ich es dennoch nicht.Ich hatte es mit File:Flags of Aşgabat.png und halte es auch heute noch für einen commons-bug, Exif kann png seit Version 1.2 (eigentlich ging das schon früher, es kommt halt auf den Player an, ob er es ausliest). Ich sehe den Vorteil in der Farbe und der Auflösung gerade im monochromen Anteilen (Himmel, da blau) und chamois (oder Haut, sprich elfenbein). Ich kann wirklich nur die Beispiele Photographie versus Musik nennen, heute ist alles jpg oder mp3. F̟ür die Anwender ist es meist Comfort, bzw. das tagging der Datei. Wobei hier Commons total eigen ist, auch Deine Anmerkung "Beschreibungen und Kategorien" ich wurde dafür zigmal gesperrt. (ist sicher reine Rache und persönlich, von einem einzigem admin), trifft aber des Pudels Kern nicht. Moroder hat da ja auch seine Probleme, 12K-HaBla und er bekommt Kritik (teils zu Recht, teils kleinkariert) oder da wird halt mal eine Ende 20 jährige Frau als Girlie eingestuft "File:Setcard Shirin 002.jpg" oder wie soll ich sonst Adolescent girls verstehen?? (ich war´s nichtː-) Keine Ahnung ob Du Eric Clapton magst? Ich könnte Dir da einen SHM-CD rip schicken (google drive) da beißt Du Dir rein mathematisch die dritten Zähne aus (nach den zweiten). Es ist wirklich wie in der Musik-Scene (den Anwender interessiert es dabei nicht, weil es auch zu umständlich ist) wie commons. Ich verstehe nicht mal die letzten drei Anmerkungen vom bot und die Einladung für die italienische Wiki. Ist mein Deutsch schon eigen, dann noch italienisch?? Da kann ich nur fluchen... Sei´s drum, Rutsch mir ruhig rüber, vllt. bekommen wir es doch noch mal real hin --Hans-Jürgen Neubert 16:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Ich gebe ja zu, dass ich dir manchmal nicht ganz folgen kann ... Du hast recht, bei PNG wurde mit der Version 1.2 EXIF ergänzt. Metadaten gab's vorher schon. Es dauert, bis sich so etwas durchsetzt. Bei den Farben verwirrst du mich, meiner Meinung kann ein Dateiformat Farben nicht beeinflussen. Es ist vielmehr die Frage, welches Farbmodell integriert ist und welches genutzt wird. Und was die Kritik bei QIC betrifft: Da ist sie durchaus durchwachsen. Ihr Wert sinkt für mich zunehmend. Einen deutlichen Einbruch gab es mit dem Wechsel auf meine 30-Megapixel-Kamera. Schärfe auf Basis der Pixelebene zu messen ist aus meiner Sicht alles andere als korrekt. Ist die Auflösung hoch genug, schafft so gut wie kein erschwingliches Objektiv diese Auflösung. Im Sinne dieser Kritiker/-innen wäre das Bild dann immer unscharf. Und was so manche Kritiker/-innen angeht: Sie sind alle so gemischt wie wir alle, unterschiedliche Ansätze, unterschiedliches Know-how, unterschiedliche Ansichten. Es hilft oft einen Gang zurückzuschalten und freundlich zu reagieren. Sachlich lässt sich vieles diskutieren. (Ich weiß schon, wen du meinst. ;-) ) Und es hilft nicht, auf dem eigenen Standpunkt zu beharren. Wer recht hat, lässt sich oft nicht schnell entscheiden. Mir hat es geholfen, die Argumente zu gewichten und zu verstehen. Zugegebenermaßen musste ich das eine oder andere mal einsehen, dass ich nicht Recht hatte. Manchmal waren es auch einfach nur andere Ansichten. --XRay ^talk 16:52, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
