Questions about 3D models on Commons

Ebrahim,

In 2015 you submitted one of the most popular ideas for the Community Wishlist Survey about enabling the sharing of 3D models on Commons. There's technical work underway to make this happen with the STL file format.

We'd like to get your input on how the Commons community might respond to concerns over the uploading of 3D files, given that it might now involve new patent and copyright issues that weren't as relevant before for 2D files. For instance, if someone uploaded the 3D model of a potentially patented work how would the community respond? What can the community do in advance to discuss and prepare for the possibility of these things happening?

Additionally, we'd like to know where it would be best to make contributors aware of the policy around items of this nature. For example, the community may wish to ensure there's a reminder of policy during the upload process and again on the file page itself. Where else might the community want to look to be prepared before the feature is enabled? Should we perhaps update commons guidance linked from the Editors' index, such as the Commons:Licensing, the Commons:How_to_detect_copyright_violations, and the Commons: non-copyright restrictions?

If you have a few minutes to think about this and provide feedback it would be greatly appreciated. If you aware of other Commons contributors that might have some thoughts, please include them in this conversation as well. Thank you for everything and I appreciate your time.

Yours, CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 15:46, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

User:CKoerner (WMF): I am very happy on seeing this Is progressed, I think the best way forward would be to collaborate with OpenSCAD and other already established 3d models FOSS communities (and/or, I don't know, maybe thepiratebay(!!) physibiles uploaders?). You can possibly find some common people with OpenSCAD community here. I hope you would allow formats that people from that community could interoperate with Commons. About copyrights, some can imagine and build this system in order to keep Commons admins able to deal with copyright issue but as that would be beyond wmf capabilities and destiny I guess you should convince Google or Tineye itself to go for such system which doesn't seem to be very feasible but perhaps worth trying. Thanks −ebrahim^talk 16:37, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you ebrahim for the feedback. I'd love to reach out to some of the existing communities to let them know what we're up to and encourage them to participate. I'd like to take these same questions to the larger Commons community so look for a familiar-sounding Vilage pump post soon! :) CKoerner (WMF) (talk) 15:46, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Your VFC installation method is deprecated

Hello Ebrahim, we are aware that using the old installation method of VFC (via common.js, which you are using) may not work reliably anymore and can break other scripts as well. A detailed explanation can be found here. Important: To prevent problems please remove the old VFC installation code from your common.js and instead enable the VFC gadget in your preferences. Thanks! --VFC devs (q) 16:23, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

Emojione

Bonjour,

Pourquoi supprimer les émojiones ? --FructidorAn3 (talk) 19:50, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

User talk:FructidorAn3: Hi there, there is no removal, just moving and normalizing names in order to avoid having a file in two names (one with uppercase letters and one with lowercase letters), if you found an instance of removal without uppercase naming replacement please let me known. Thanks −ebrahim^talk 19:57, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Concerning File:Feedbin-Favicon-search.svg

The page containing the file c:File:Feedbin-Favicon-search.svg says positioning error. What is meant by that? Wereldburger758 (talk) 11:09, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

You can ask from the person who put that tag but basically it means librsvg (or the author) is failed to detect/put correct bounding box for the work and should be fixed sometime. −ebrahim^talk 13:46, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Google emojis

Will you be uploading the new Google emojis separate from the blob emojis (as discussed at Talk:Emoji#Noto_Color_Emoji_.28Android_O.29)? I saw that some (Category:Noto Color Emoji - Updated) were already uploaded atop previous releases rather than as separate files—are you reverting those too? czar 18:52, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi there. Yes if I do the uploading I'll do such. No I don't have a plan for that, have a look at "So our rule is something like [...]" of that page, that sounds like a good policy I believe but if anyone disagree that can be discussed there. −ebrahim^talk 08:08, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Now I see why you wanted an old version of File:Emoji u1f486.svg as you used it on your talk page on English Wikipedia :) I don't oppose with restoring their old versions however the problem is they didn't use semantic branch (or other git's mechanism like tag or branch) for noto emoji project versioning so distinguishing minor fixes from major style changes was hard. In other words with each change to their git repository I had one of these options:

• Replacing all of them
• Uploading all of them, even the not updated ones with to different names (which exact duplicate images probably would made Commons unhappy)
• Skipping the not updated ones (which would have made linking the images hard)
• Not uploading any update (even new Emojis additions)

Which I had to with the first option. Now that they've promised to tag a release before bulb style emojis complete revamp, putting them to a different naming just can make sense but I have no solution in mind (and enough motivation to be honest) for putting older ones on a separate places but maybe that can be handled with manual upload or something (cc: User:Czar, User:Nclm) −ebrahim^talk 13:26, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

:) Yes, that one, but I'd also like to save the set for posterity. To clarify, all of the "blobs" are overwritten on Commons as of now? I don't know whether Google's "blob" removal applied to the non-face emojis, but what if only the old versions of the face emojis (the blobs) were uploaded separately? I don't know the face emojis' file name range or how to pull the git repo from a paste date to automate their upload. Would you know how? czar 16:36, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

User:Czar: Current version that we have on Commons which is the most recent public available version still have some of blobs design but the new design which can be found here is a complete redesign, it is like Google gradually came to an understating that blobs are not the way to go but just now decided to replace all of the Emojis with a new design. Also no problem about IPBE, I tried to avoid bureaucracy, I don't have much activity there after all :) −ebrahim^talk 20:16, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Me too. Okay, I'll add this to my list of things to pursue myself someday. Thanks! czar 20:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

User:Czar: Hi there! I managed to upload old versions also, Category:Noto Color Emoji KitKat‎ Category:Noto Color Emoji Lollipop‎ none of them (even File:Emoji_*) are going to updated anymore so you can use them reliably :) −ebrahim^talk 08:53, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Nice! Thanks! czar 16:40, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi! I'm just curious, regarding the "Created with Adobe Illustrator" parameter included in the {{Igen}} template on these (or at least the ones I looked at, didn't check them all)... this seems appropriate to "own work" uploads where the author is providing that incidental information; I didn't see anything at the github repository or in the source file to suggest any specific software was used. Do you have a source for this assertion? --Junkyardsparkle (talk) 19:55, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Junkyardsparkle: Hi there. I don't remember that I've added that template to those files I guess however the person who has added the template to them had seen some evidence on the source (and maybe you've looked on a replaced version which no longer had them). Thanks for the interest! :) −ebrahim^talk 17:51, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Hmmm, the ones I looked at (example) didn't seem to have any edit history after upload. Maybe it was inadvertantly included in a copy/paste? If you can confirm that that's the case, I'm willing to change them, if you don't want to. :) --Junkyardsparkle (talk) 20:04, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Junkyardsparkle: You are right. That would be great! Thank you! :) −ebrahim^talk 06:26, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Well, as soon as I made the change I realized that this template actually was added after the upload by a bot, so it looks like I was bothering the wrong person after all, sorry! :) --Junkyardsparkle (talk) 17:46, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Interesting! −ebrahim^talk 21:00, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Emojies of Mauritania flag

Hello Ebrahim, Can you please update the emojies of Mauritania flag because the country flag has been changed (the new flag - the old one). Thanks! --Mohammed Adam ^(T) 19:42, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, you should ask from the project owner of that Emoji collections to do that and then you can upload that files from what they've done by yourself even. You can find project link of that projects inside the description and I don't have any affiliation with them to contact them more effectively honestly and I don't have enough skill to modify these vector files which is not a cool decision anyway. Thanks. −ebrahim^talk 12:24, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Commons Conference project

Hello

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. 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 leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Cheers,

File tagging File:Seyed mohsen sajadi.JPG

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Seyed mohsen sajadi.JPG. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Seyed mohsen sajadi.JPG]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Image undeletion

Hi Ebrahim, Could you undelete File:Female performing fellatio on male 2.jpg and File:Female performing fellatio on male.jpg please?, I don't quite know why these were deleted but as these 2 and 2 others are now at DR I thought maybe they should be reevaluated, Many thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:35, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

Hey there. As noted, uploader requested the deletion and the noted reason was model request. If you still don't agree with the deletion however let me know. Thanks −ebrahim^talk 06:10, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ebrahim, Ah sorry I missed that, Well as you can see here and here the file was kept back in January '18 so I'm under the impression they've just tagged these as speedy delete under "uploader request" - Even if they were the uploader they would need to seek consensus for its deletion after that amount of time remaining,

Also forgot to say but Happy New Year :). –Davey2010^Talk 17:23, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

I would say lets still keep that right to the uploader in this case, at least for the sense of empathy with the uploader and model. Happy New Year to you also :)

Hi, Well could you undelete it atleast for the sake of DR - Both are at DR so it would make sense for people to judge themselves - Also anyone can say "model wants it deleted" .... the person has provided no proof he even knows this person, I can't remember what the images even are but I feel backdoor deletions like this should not be done! - They sent it to DR and so from that point onwards it should be down to us to decide, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 20:26, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Nevermind, I'm assuming the ones you deleted are probably related to the other 2 that wasn't deleted, Okie dokie ignore the above these are delteable, Thanks for your help anyway :) –Davey2010^Talk 20:29, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Doctor of Directions deletions; seems we have somewhat overstepped

I think that there may have been an over-enthusiastic nomination and deletion process for the uploads of Doctor of Directions. We have walloped a new user pretty hard, and possibly not shown enough good faith. I would agree that there is a definite case that there has been Google View uploads and that these should have a process and where they are from that site, they should be deleted. That said, this user has uploaded photographs that they have clearly labelled {{Own}} (or similar) which have been speedily deleted, example.

We seem to have erred in our overarching approach. Yes, I know that it does not help when a user undoes such additions, though think back to your new days, and trying to understand our complex processes, it simply is not easy, and we have been here for years. The user is currently blocked, we need to halt our deletions, allow the user to talk on the DR, and for us to patiently assist this user to make their case, to identify their photographs, and for those to be retained, and for the CV images to be deleted.

@BevinKacon: to note.

 — billinghurst sDrewth 10:27, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

billinghurst: Hey there, sure, commented on that RfD before seeing this, I don't believe that image is own work however as the similarity with Special:Undelete/File:F8_at_its_original_Langley_Park_Metrobus_Terminal.jpg and pattern of license plate blur but feel free to revert any my actions. "though think back to your new days" I agree with you, feeling that more in Wikipedia projects than Wikimedia Commons however. −ebrahim^talk 13:01, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. Not trying to pre-judge anything here, just hoping that we can take the time to judge appropriately. I do know that when we are in deletion mode each of us can be a little "heads down, bum up" in our cleaning queues.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:31, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Wiki of Functions followup

Hi there, I'm a researcher for the Wikilambda project. Last month we held a naming contest and I'm following up with those who voted to see if you might be willing to provide some feedback to help guide the project.

This would be a 45 minute conversation about your past experience with other Wikimedia projects and thoughts about the future of this new initiative. I'm hoping to gather a wide range of perspectives so I'd be interested in your opinion regardless of whether you plan to have further involvement.

As a way of saying thanks, the research team is offering a $35 gift card (in your local currency) for participation. We could chat by phone or through a webpage for audio conferencing.

If you're interested just pick a time slot from this calendar link:
https://calendly.com/wikilambda/voter

Hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC

Hello Ebrahim,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

Thank you for your participation! Wikitanvir (WMF) 13:53, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Copyright status: File:Emojione 1F1F1-1F1F8.svg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Emojione 1F1F1-1F1F8.svg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Hi, At Wikipedia, I'm working on an emoji Module, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:WEmoji, and I wanted to say thanks to you for uploading those sets of emojis so I have a universal image format to work on. The Module essentially serves as a way for Wikipedia users to send each other emojis in a simple and universal way to be compatible with all devices. Again, thanks for uploading the images. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Urban Versis 32 (talk • contribs)

Sound Logo

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final? The idea is to let the public judge the sound logo contestants based on the merit of the logo, not the person or people who made it. Again, any feedback is appreciated.

Thank you,

2022 Picture of the Year: Saint John Church of Sohrol in Iran.

Read this message in your language

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

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. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
