Prośba

Hej. Nasz wikipedysta prosi o szybkie usunięcie tego, zapomniał sprawdzić datę śmierci twórcy. Poradziłam mu, żeby wstawił odpowiedni szablon, ale na wszelki wypadek piszę o do Ciebie (choć przypuszczam, że akurat dziś i w ten weekend będziesz miał mało czasu). Miłego świętowania 15-lecia!

VicuñaUploader

Извините, что по-русски, но уже второй день не могу зайти в VicuñaUploader. Проблемы с сервером? --Чаховіч Уладзіслаў (talk) 09:04, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

@Чаховіч Уладзіслаў: Привет, это не проблема. Да, WMF внес изменения в API. Пожалуйста, проверьте эту версию. Yarl ✉ 23:30, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

SVG translation tool

Hi Yarl,

@Masti: asked me to speak with you about my idea of creating a tool to allow SVG files to be easily translated to different languages by

1. Listing all the text strings in an SVG file in Commons,
2. Providing text fields to let the user modify the strings, then either

1. Updating the file with language strings (preferred), or
2. Uploading a new file with a different name

I had previously used Jarry1250's SVG Translate tool but it now gives errors and I don't think he's/she's supporting it anymore. Regardless, I'm thinking of adding additional features to pre-fill the fields and let users quickly see and revert changed fields.

Would you know of a tool that can do this (or part of it)? If not, would you be interested to work on this together?

Thanks, cmglee (talk) 10:34, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

wikiwakacja, licencja

Mówiliśmy w Nowinach o konkursie Wikiwakacje: http://wikiwakacje.pl/ Podobno się zajmowałeś tą stroną. Dzięki. Bardzo mi się mapa podoba. Nie widzę jednak opisu licencyjnego zdjęcia. Nie dowidzę czy zabrakło? A i tak przy okazji czy można by dać bardziej kontrastową czcionką tekst? Marek Mazurkiewicz (talk) 15:32, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

@Marek Mazurkiewicz: Dodałem linijkę licencyjną, tradycyjne niedopatrzenie. Dałem też większy kontrast, czy teraz jest lepiej? Yarl ✉ 21:23, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Dzięki serdeczne, jest lepiej. Marek Mazurkiewicz (talk) 22:50, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

pattypan

Thank you for providing us the excellent uploader pattypan. It is even easier to use for mass upload that VicuñaUploader. The only problem I have is that subdirectories are not searched for photos. --Tilman2007 (talk) 09:30, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

@Tilman2007: I will release new version in the next fext few days with this option included. You can already download test version 0.3 with some new features included. Yarl ✉ 21:09, 7 August 2016 (UTC)

String index error on Pattypan?

Hi, thank you so much for making Pattypan, I'm excited to use it! I've been trying to prepare a file to upload and I'm getting the error message "String index out of range:0". I noticed I had some zeros instead of blanks in the spreadsheet, and I replaced them with blanks, but I'm still getting the error message. Do you have any ideas about what might be causing it? Thank you. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:53, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

@Rachel Helps (BYU): Hi, it looks like you removed wikicode from second spreadsheet tab called "Template" (but I'm not sure). If not, can you check pattypan version 0.5? I've just released it, I've added some more error handlers, so I hope message will be more meaningful. Yarl ✉ 23:45, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

I wasn't sure exactly what went wrong, but I hadn't considered the template, so I made another one (this time leaving out fields that I wasn't planning to fill in) and deleted the other sheet I was working on in the file, which solved the problem. I'm uploading a bunch of files now! :-) Also, I should have realized this sooner, but editing the spreadsheet while Pattypan was using it crashed my graphics driver (I think). Obviously I shouldn't work on the file while Pattypan is using it! Thanks for your help.Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:41, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Happy New Year, Yarl!

VU

Czesc,

could you tell me, how much does it took to create initial version of VU in hours? I am trying to find out how much time it takes to do such tools. Thx.--Juandev (talk) 10:13, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

@Juandev: It mainly depends on coding skills, amount of features and programming language. You can have basics after 20 hours of coding, I think. But I'm writing this after spending weeks working on vicuna :). What do you need exactly? Yarl ✉ 16:14, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Well, thinking of a tool wich can guess possition from exif and provide easy way to set categories. --Juandev (talk) 07:59, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Zdjęcia

Witam. Wgrałem kilka zdjęć, które znalazłem poza Commons, ale na licencji kompatybilnej z nim. Czy jest wymagane uzyskanie tego statusu "reviewed" jaki wyświetla się w innych plikach pochodzących z tego serwisu, aby nic nie zostało usunięte? Jeśli tak to prosiłbym o instrukcje, co muszę jeszcze zrobić. Pozdrawiam, Fumis16 (talk) 23:14, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

@Fumis16: OK, dodałem review. Na przyszłość dodawaj pod szablonem licencji szablon {{Licensereview}} przy plikach, które pochodzą z innych serwisów. To jest takie dodatkowe zabezpieczenie na wypadek, gdyby ktoś np. na fotopolsce zmienił licencję zdjęcia. Yarl ✉️️  17:19, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Pattypan

Hi! I am looking into using Pattypan to upload 7000 30 second .ogg sound clips to Commons. Firstly i would like to check if it will deal with this amount of data? Secondly, i'm having trouble with the custom templates. I would like to use the Template:Musical work if possible. Could this be easily added to the default templates? or do i need to format the code in a particular way in order for the spreadsheet to generate properly? Many thanks - This looks like a very promising tool! Jason.nlw (talk) 16:15, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@Jason.nlw: 7k should not be a problem, but I'm not 100% sure :). And I can add Musical work template, no problem at all. Are you in rush about that? I need to find some time to add it and release next version of the app. Yarl 💭  19:14, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

@Yarl: Great, thanks! I am no huge rush. I was planning to start a few test uploads in a couple of weeks depending on how preparations go. I appreciate your help. Best Jason.nlw (talk) 07:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Yarl: Hi! I am getting closer to being ready for my upload and wanted to see if you have had a chance to add Template:Musical work to the tool? Do you have an idea of when you might be able to release a new version which includes this template?. Thanks Jason.nlw (talk) 08:01, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

@Yarl: Also - can the file name (which will be displayed on commons) be different to the filename as specified in the Path? or does it need to be the same?

@Yarl: Hello again! OK, so i seem to have overcome the template problem by using the Wikimarkup for Template:Musical work to form my spreadsheet, and i can see now that you can choose the file name which will appear on Commons. Everything previews fine, but i Cannot login to Pattypan in order to test the upload. I have tried with this account and with one other. I have also tried using the two factor authentication with no luck. I just get a 'Log In Failed' message every time. Do you have any suggestions? Cheers Jason.nlw (talk) 09:06, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

WLM 2017 and Flickr

Hi Yarl, I hope this finds you well. I work at Flickr and I used to work at the Foundation. I wanted to see if we could do more coordinated efforts around WLM this year and get the Flickr community excited about participating. I saw on the WLM talk page that you had added most of the details, so assumed I should start with you. Can you let me know who are the main organizers of the international competition this year and if I should reach out to anyone? Maybe we could get a video call together or some other kind of meeting?

thanks,

Almonroth (talk) 22:49, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Flickr Community team

Hi Almonroth. This is Lily from the international Wiki Loves Monuments team. Yarl mentioned you've pinged us. :) Thanks for that. We would really like to learn more with you about options to increase collaboration between the Flickr community and Wiki Loves Monuments. It's probably best to start with a 30-min meeting. I'll ping you via email to set that up. Thanks again. We are looking forward to work with you. --LilyOfTheWest (talk) 12:00, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

License review

Czy mogę cię prosić o wsparcie w kwestii weryfikacji licencji książek z tej listy? Licencja jest podana na stronie źródłowej każdej z nich; czasem są dwie - wtedy druga jest wewnątrz książki. Sam swoich wrzutek weryfikować nie mogę, a sądzę, że lepiej by to zweryfikował ktoś znający polski. Zasugerowano mi tę procedurę po kilku usunięciach... Ankry (talk) 19:01, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments in Poland in 2017

Hi Yarl, I see there is a landing page in Polish and one in English. In the CentralNotice we link to the one in Polish. Can you make sure people that are in Poland, but do not speak Polish, can find a link to the English landing page on the Polish landing page. Thanks! Romaine (talk) 16:34, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Eight days into Wiki Loves Monuments

Thank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK

Photos from this year are already being used on Wikipedia. WLM runs until the end of the month and you can take part as many time as you want - multiple pictures of the same site help get the full picture - so please add more and invite other people to take part. We are within touching distance of 1,000 photos for the UK, let's see if we can reach that landmark today! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message here or contact me directly at richard.nevell@wikimedia.org.uk. Richard Nevell (WMUK) (talk) 13:49, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Let's make Commons Conference a reality

Hello Yarl,

I'm writing you as one of the WLM organizers. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and add your ideas; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

An update from Wiki Loves Monuments UK

Thank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK

More than 300 people have contributed a total of 4,000 photos to this year's competition and we wanted to say thank you for helping us get this far. The competition runs until the end of September, and you can upload as many images as you want - so feel free to document some more sites. Or why not go through your old images to see if you have any others that could be submitted? Since you've already submitted some pictures to the competition, you might be interested in the banner mini-contest; to take part you crop your images to a 7:1 and upload a new version. You can find out more about how to do that here. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the competition and share it with others! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC)}

Welcome to the Structured Commons focus group!

Hello! Thank you very much for signing up to the community focus group for Structured Commons :-)

How to organize ourselves?

This focus group is new and experimental, and I welcome your tips and thoughts on how we can organize this in the most convenient and productive way. For now, I have posted a few separate topics on the focus group's talk page. Please add your questions there too! If we all add that page to our watchlist, that's probably a good way to stay up to date with current discussions. Steinsplitter has also initiated a brand new IRC channel specifically for Structured Commons: wikimedia-commons-sd ^(webchat) which we invite you to join. Please let me know if you have other ideas on how to work together.

Current updates

• For your agenda: IRC office hour about Structured Commons, Tuesday 21 November at 18:00 UTC in wikimedia-office ^(webchat).
• A newsletter about Structured Commons is sent out later today. Its frequency will probably increase from now on. You are warmly invited to contribute to next issues — don't hesitate to add updates.
• The documentation and info pages about Structured Data on Commons have received a thorough (and much overdue) update this week, in order to get them ready for all the upcoming work. Obsolete pages were archived. There are undoubtedly still a lot of omissions and bits that are unclear. You can help by editing boldly, and by leaving feedback and tips on the talk pages.
• More things (logo? tools?) to be discussed on the focus group's talk page!

Warmly, your community liaison, SandraF (WMF) (talk)

Structured Commons focus group update, December 11, 2017

Hello! You are receiving this message because you signed up for the community focus group for Structured Commons :-)

Later this week, a full newsletter will be distributed, but you are the first to receive an update on new requests for feedback.

Three requests for feedback

1. We received many additions to the spreadsheet that collects important Commons and Wikidata tools. Thank you! Now, you can participate in a survey that helps us understand and prioritize which tools and functionalities are most important for the Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata communities. The survey runs until December 22. Here's some background.
2. Help the team decide on better names for 'captions' and 'descriptions'. You can provide input until January 3, 2018.
3. Help collect interesting Commons files, to prepare for the data modelling challenges ahead! Continuous input is welcome there.
