Béjaïa

Je ne m'occupe pas vraiment de la rédaction d'articles sur Béjaïa sur wiki, plus de l'Algérie, la Kabylie en général, mais j'ai cherché quels articles pourraient être "illustrés". J'ai trouvé par exemple le stade de Béjaïa (fr:Stade de l'Unité Maghrébine,..), l'aéroport (en:Soummam Airport,..), également différents bâtiments important comme le siège de la Wilaya (équivalant des préfectures), la mairie, université, musée, mosquée, le fort qui domine la ville etc. et pourquoi pas des sièges de société s'il y en a (j'ai vu sur le site de la société Cevital qu'il y a leur principale usine). Je sais également qu'il y a pas mal de pétrole qui passe par le port (raffinerie, etc..), donc des images qui pourraient illustrer des articles sur l'économie de l'Algérie (sur en, fr,..), et même sur le tourisme (en:Tourism in Algeria) avec les plages (sûrement bondées à cette époque). Voilà plusieurs pistes, pour que tu puisses choisir. Bref il y a en fait pas mal de photos utiles à prendre. Ça fait trois ans que je n'y suis pas retourné, alors je te souhaites surtout de passer de bonne vacance en Algérie . - Masen (talk) 03:33, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Gare Avignon TGV - Perspective by JM Rosier.JPG

Bonjour,

j'ai vu que tu avais demandé la suppression de ma "Image:Gare Avignon TGV - Perspective by JM Rosier.JPG" ce pour quoi j'ai eu une explication complémentaire par un autre contributeur (car je ne savais pas pour l'architecture)... mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi celle-là est pas les autres de la Category:Gare d'Avignon TGV qui, pour certaines, montrent tout autant l'architecture dont des parties de la "coupole" de verre. note bien que c'est une demande pour moi-même comprendre et éviter de refaire la même erreur, pas pour que tu te lances dans une croisade anti gare d'Avignon.

Cordialement

--Jmrosier (talk) 12:46, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Comme je l'avais dit, ce n'est pas pour lancer une croisade, juste une envie de comprendre... mais vu ta réponse, je pense donc que ce n'est pas spécifique à ma photo et quel que soit l'angle que j'utiliserai, la photo sera en faute... je n'insiste donc pas avec ce sujet ! Merci et encore désolé car je ne savais pas pour l'architecture --Jmrosier (talk) 17:04, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Bonjour,

Tu as marqué quelques images comme copyvios, je les avais importées de Wikipédia. Elles ont été importées à l'origine par fr:Utilisateur:Clifden, la même personne qui a mis les photos sur ce site. Il l'avait confirmé sur sa page de discussion, mais il est inactif à présent. On avait mis la licence CC-BY-SA FR. Peut-être qu'on peut enlever le tag "copyvio" ?

Merci, le Korrigan →bla 22:08, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah, ok, je vais vérifier. Autre chose : techniquement le bandeau le plus approprié n'est pas "copyvio" mais "pas de permission" : "copyvio" est un peu fort et invite les admins à supprimer les images très rapidement, tandis que "pas de permission" (ou mieux, une procédure de suppression plus habituelle) laisse le temps de contacter l'utilisateur. le Korrigan →bla 06:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Je te suggère de lui donner la marche à suivre: uploader une image plus large, envoyer par mail... soit dit en passant, cet épisode au cours duquel j'ai vainement tenté de faire entendre raison à un tas de gens qui faisaient les sourds est pour moi la confirmation que Commons est un projet qui ne fonctionne purement et simplement pas. 81.240.24.72 14:49, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Une demande de suppression que tu as faite

Bonjour.

Tu as demandé il y a environ un an la suppression de Thaksin-affiche.jpg, car tu pensais qu'il ne pouvait être réutilisé que sous le régime du fair use, lequel est interdit sur Commons.

Or il se trouve qu'il s'agit d'une affiche qui a été prise dans un lieu public en Thaïlande (cf. historique du fichier sur Wikipédia avant manipulation), et en conséquence, peut bénéficier de la liberté de panorama et être distribuée sous licence libre (tu peux le vérifier ici). Serais-tu d'accord pour une restauration ? Hr. Satz 11:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Attention en effaçant des catégories

Bonjour. Une catégorie en rouge, tout un comme un lien rouge sur WP, c'est souvent une catégorie à créer, pas une catégorie à retirer. Je fais allusion à ces deux edits que j'ai annulés. Par ailleurs, il est dommage d'avoir retiré les dernières images de la catégorie "Images from 2009 Venice Film Festival to check" sans leur avoir affecté de catégorie pertinente puisque c'était le but premier de cette catégorie temporaire. Ces deux personalités par exemple n'ont toujours pas de nom. Merci d'être plus précautionneux à l'avenir. Cordialement. — Xavier, 01:39, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Disons que j'avais créé cette catégorie temporairement pour charger les images depuis flickr. Je suis d'accord qu'il eut été mieux d'identifier ces personnes. Maintenant, elles ont au moins une catégorie pertinente même si cette catégorie n'est pas très précise. D'autre part, je n'ai pas la même vision que toi sur les catégories en rouge. - Zil (d) 08:21, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Identifier les personnes de cette catégorie est précisément la raison de la présence de cette catégorie temporaire (voir cet appel) car toutes les images de cette catégorie faisaient déjà partie de Category:2009 Venice Film Festival. Laisser les images dans cette seule et unique catégorie n'a pas grand intérêt car celui qui cherche la photo d'une personnalité précise n'ira jamais parcourir les 800 photos qu'elle contient. J'espère que ça vous apparaît clairement désormais et que vous ferez plus attention à l'avenir.

Quant aux catégories rouges, vous dites ne pas partager ma vision. J'aimerais connaître la vôtre qui me paraît erronée. Une catégorie existe de facto à partir du moment où une image est placée à l'intérieur. Une catégorie rouge n'est pas une catégorie inexistante (abus de langage), mais une catégorie qui nécessite d'être intégrée à l'arbre principal. Avez-vous compris ou avez-vous besoin, pour cesser d'enlever des catégories légitimes, que je demande à la communauté d'éclaircir la chose ? — Xavier, 10:45, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

boing-boing

Moved from User talk:84.75.160.122

Hello,

I've seen that you categorize the pictures I upload. thank you for your help.

boing-boing is a bot I use to upload pictures from flickr. I could upload a whole set in one command.

The categorization is done more or less automaticaly using a scripts and based on the tags of the flickr images.

That's why I recategorize the pictures afterward and why I use temporary cats like Category:People_of_Sikkim_to_sort to avoid missing a category.

Thank you again for your help and I'm sorry if you think you do useless work with those uploads.

Kind regards

- Zil (d) 20:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Zil / boing-boing, thanks for informing. Just a hint: "teach" your bot to use just a single temporary category as Category:People_of_Sikkim_to_sort to avoid such "useless work" ;-) Regards, Roland — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.75.160.122 (talk • contribs) 20:26, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

That explains it, thanks. The example maybe was File:Flickr - aktivioslo - Sofia Nizharadze - Georgia (1).jpg. However, I wasnt aware of this flickr upload methode, but I have to say that it is very intransparent. User:FlickreviewR/Images never editted by their reviewer is messed up with reviews from you and uploader Boing-Boing, Multichills BotMultichill or Diaas Dudubot. Such mistaken copy&pastes - to AGF - or fakes - regretably I have seen to much of them - are not very often but it happens. A review without any confirming edit by the reviewer isnt a review, I suggest to use the blank {{Flickrreview}} and have flickrreviewr done the review work. --Martin H. (talk) 16:29, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

May be the page could be improved to exclude when the bot upload the image with his owner review ? - Zil (d) 16:39, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I think, and so my suggestion, that the bots have to be improved. Its not clear if e.g. File:Flickr - nmorao - CP Tdgs, Estação de Vila Nova de Gaia, 1994.10.06.jpg was ever reviewed. If sometimes in the future a copyright holder tries to revoke the license and your bot logs (if any) are not at hand we have nothing to proofe {{Flickr-change-of-license}} in a 100% save way. We have enough flickrreview related delreqs. Its however just a suggetion, the process is not in an optimum, the non-functioning page User:FlickreviewR/Images never editted by their reviewer is only minor nuisance, I dont realy work with this page, I only know that it exists. --Martin H. (talk) 17:02, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I have a simple sollution to keep User:FlickreviewR/Images never editted by their reviewer-4 etc working: Can Boing-boing stop flickrreviewing the images in your name and instead just place {{Flickrreview}} on the images to have FlickrreviewR review the images? You are uploading the full size versions, so I dont expect FlickrreviewR will have a problem with reviewing and it will not fill any backlogs for reviewing. --Martin H. (talk) 20:42, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

I'll do that on the next upload. The goal was to limit the work for the flickrreviewbot. - Zil (d) 18:10, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Latvian politicians

Hi. I've discovered a gold mine for Latvian politicians at here. The flickr user is Saeima (which is the national parliament of Lativa) and has the official national parliament coat of arms. Given the extent of the photos 2300 odd including valuable ones of sessions like this etc I'd say it is definately a photographer insider of the Saeima. I wondered if you could use a bot to upload all of the photos of the politicians to the commons unless there is some problem. Photos like this are very hard to get hold of; its obvious to me that the person who uploaded them to flickr is the photographer so has the right to release the images under this license. Please can you bot upload them, it won't work when I do it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll ask some people on wikipedia if they can help with the categorizing. All I can think of is Category:Deputies of the Saeima. The profile ones at least can go in there. If you can upload the rest of them this would be very useful. Keep up the great work you do!Blofeld Dr. (talk) 10:33, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

The first is images from Ministery of Culture of Uruguay?? and European People's Party. They should both contain images of a lot of notable persons we probably don't have images for many of them.

US Geograph

Hi Zil. This post was copied from my message to Jimbo Wales (with no reply):

US photographs

Copied from Jimbo Wales take page:

Something occurred to me. Unlike the UK where images of most villages can be uploaded from http://www.geograph.org.uk/ there is a considerable problem for many places in the US and Canada obtaining a plentiful supply of decent freely useable photographs for small towns, and even larger ones, one example I can think of is Calabasas, California.... I was wondering Jimmy if your foundation would endorse the idea of running a US version of geograph to photograph every grid square or whatever you use for the United States. Sure it would be an ambitious project, but not as ambitious as wikipedia... This would not only solve our problem of having a poor supply of photographs for many places in the United States but it would build up a highly valuable bank of images over time under a Creative Commons/GFDL license which I am certain many people would find very valuable. I wonder how many times somebody has looked for a freely useable image of a small US town or unincorporated place and found no images on it. Given that geograph is clearly a massive success and has suppled the majority of British villages with images, I wonder if it would be too much to ask if the foundation could host a US version of such a project to attract people into a project which would photograph the United States in such detail? I know that the United States is considerably larger than the UK but I don't see why such a project couldn't be a success for most places with a high internet population. If I can get some sort of backing I'll make a formal proposal on this.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:21, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I second this - if this can be made viable, it would be a great idea. (It's

actually something I've considered before; trouble is I'm not net-savvy enough to know where to begin in creating it.) I've done enough photographing of backwoods Virginia to know that free images for much of the country are next-to-impossible to come by at the moment, even for some of the larger/more notable places (see Big Stone Gap, Virginia for but one good example). I know it's a huge country, but the population is pretty large - I don't see why this couldn't work. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|Ser Amantio di Nicolao]]^{[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|Che dicono a Signa?]]}_{[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|Lo dicono a Signa.]]} 22:35, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

---

Zils. I and a number of people support the idea of starting a photograph project to photograph every "grid square" of the United States like we have with geograph UK. Given the major success of the geograph UK project I wondered if the foundation would endorse the idea of having one for the US. One of the biggest reasons is the distinct lack of photos we have for many US towns and unincorporated communites and indeed the lack of photos of some of these please on the web. I think it would prove a valuable resource given the traffic that wikipedia and related projects gets I am sure contributors to photographing the United States in such detail would gradually increase and the project would take off. If so we would then have a plentiful supply of photographs for just about anywhere and indded a valuable US geo photo bank. Obviously a project for many developing countries in Africa and Asia may not be possible but I am certian that given the amount of traffic wikimedia gets such a project could be extended to countries like Germany, Netherlands, France Italy etc. Please let me know what yout think. The project could be a sister project to the commons but it would need to be set out in a grid square type format like the geograph website is. Naturally uploaded photos would simultaneously be place din the commons. If possible can you respond when you return and contact Sue Gardner or whoever you think might see some light on such a project. I really want to get some support on this, so if you think it is a good idea please help me spread the word and get some support and contact the foundation.

Hi. Can you upload most of the images under here, particularly the photographs by User:Attawayjl. It has some much needed images of Guinea and people of Guinea Bissau.

Dear Zil,

Can you please consider passing this image above and backdating the pass to December 24, 2009? Right now there is an npd tag on it but according to the image file history, you marked this image on December 24, 2009. Something went wrong and the flickrpass did not show up, however.

You also passed other images from this account like these two images below:

• File:Flickr - nicogenin - 66ème Festival de Venise (Mostra) (91).jpg
• File:Flickr - nicogenin - 66ème Festival de Venise (Mostra) (93).jpg

Flickr batch uploading

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

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

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

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

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

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

Que peut-on faire contre les mal-comprenants ?

Bonjour,

J'ai vu que tu as rétabli la signature du studio Harcourt sur cette image, qui vient à nouveau d'être vandalisée par User:Andy king50.

Ce personnage est un spécialiste de la chose et je me suis déjà fermement opposé à lui par le passé. Que peut-on faire pour qu'il comprenne enfin que la signature d'une œuvre d'art fait partie de l’œuvre ? Je suis bien sûr intervenu sur sa page de discussion (vois l'historique, il a viré tout ce que j'avais écrit) mais dans le genre buté il semble difficile de faire mieux !

Amitiés,

Jean-Jacques MILAN (talk) 18:02, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

My maintenance edits are no "vandalism". Putting digital watermarks, signatures, and any other text, logo etc. indicating authorship, ownership, copyright etc. into any image is strongly discouraged by the policies of commons. The last time i tried to explain it to Jean-Jaques, but he seems not to accept our policies but only hin own wish of a special treatement. Maybe you can explain it to him better in french, to re frain putting digital logos in his images.- Andy king50 (talk) 18:09, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

First of all, Jean-Jacques MILAN could you please assume good faith ?

Well then Andy king50, it's a good idea to remove watermarks but here it is more like a signature on a painting. So some people would like to keep the signature to illustrate for example fr:Studio Harcourt... May be we could keep 2 versions of those files. - Zil (d) 00:26, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Solution has been found with the help of Rama

The template {{Studio Harcourt signature}} has been created. You could use it on Studio Harcourt Image. Check those 2 pictures :

Bonjour,

Faire deux fichiers avec et sans signature est une solution que je n'ai pas proposée, et que je réfute catégoriquement, car elle ne tient pas la route du point de vue de l'éthique et du respect des artistes. Les photos réalisées par le Studio Harcourt sont unanimement considérées comme des œuvres d'art et comme telles, elles comportent une signature qui les authentifie. Aurait-on l'idée saugrenue de publier sur WP des œuvres tombées dans le domaine public, comme la Joconde de Léonard de Vinci, les Tournesols de Van Gogh ou bien d'autres, en deux versions, avec et sans signature ? Ou d'acheter chez Harcourt une photo qui ne porterait pas la signature du studio ? Certainement pas !

J'ai essayé d'expliquer tout cela calmement mais l'obstination d'Andy m'a fait sortir de mes gonds. D'autres que moi lui ont fait la même remarque par le passé, mais il poursuit inlassablement son idée aberrante. Si tu vas voir dans le wikilivre de photo l'article sur Harcourt, tu verras que seules les premières lettres de l'alphabet sont bien fournies. La personne que téléchargeait les fichiers s'est arrêtée au moment où les premières suppressions de signatures ont eu lieu. Il est impossible de ne pas faire le rapprochement !

File tagging File:Thermes de trajan gismondi 4.jpg

Bonjour. Je ne comprends pas ce qui ne va pas avec cette image. C'est une photo que j'ai prise lors d'une visite du musée de la civilisation romaine à Rome, c'est un détail de la grande maquette de Gismondi. Ai-je oublié de préciser une info ou bien est-ce le fait que la maquette de Gismondi n'est peut-être pas dans le domaine public ? Les photos n'étaient pas interdites et je n'ai vu nulle part mention du fait qu'il soit interdit de les réutiliser (je parle de photos prise par soi-même). Mais si c'est le statut de la maquette qui est douteux, pourquoi remettre en cause cette photo uniquement quand il existe une catégorie pour les images de cette maquette sur Commons ? Si ces autres images sont autorisées (certaines proviennent de Flickr et ont été validées, d'autres d'un site qui n'est plus en ligne, Theatrum Pompei Project, mais qui apparemment précisait que l’œuvre était tombée dans le domaine public), les miennes devraient l'être aussi non ?

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Study shows Wiki Love Africa recruitment makes a difference

Hello Zil

We are writing because you have participated in the Wiki Loves Africa (WLA) photo competition in the past. Results have been published and winning pictures may be seen here !

This year WLA partnered with the research organization CAT Lab (previously CivilServant) to help us evaluate the effectiveness of one of our recruitment efforts. You may or may not have received a message on your user talk page encouraging you to participate again in this year's competition.

We are excited to share with you their study found our recruitment message was a success and may have resulted in as many as 2,000 additional contributed photos. We hope you agree this is great news for Africa and its representation across Wikimedia. You can read more about the study and the results in this blog post.

If you have any questions about the study, we encourage you to ask CAT Lab's research manager Juliakamin(cs).
