Rama

You know, you used to be pleasant to deal with. What's wrong with you right now? Cary "Bastique" Bass ^parler _voir 00:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I do not remember interacting with you in the past.

I am sorry if I sound harsh, but you have to understand that we have lots of images that people upload here without knowing what they do, without understanding the importance of doing things properly, or even in deliberate violation of copyright laws. This matter has to be addressed energically.

Concerning the matter at hand, I do not doubt your good faith for a second. But you have to understand that you clearly do not know French laws involved; that apparently you are not yet conscious of the limits of your knowledge; and that law has to be respected as a whole, not "up to what we know". In doubt, we have to abide to the principle of precaution.

I know that some have this notion that "if the author is unknown, then we can count 70 years from the publication of the work"; however, this is true for anonymous works, that is work whose author wishes to remain anonymous; not work whose author we have been unable to find. And it is obvious that we cannot use a criteria like "I have tried to find the author and could not so it is anonymous", because how can we know when we have searched "enough" ? We are not a professional publication whose collaborators can devote the same amount of time than payed employees of a "professional" publication to do this sort of enquiries. Furthermore, it is very possible to miss an important ressource where the information is easy to find. And I am not talking about lazy people or people of actual bad faith who might upload anything pretending that the author is unknown.

Be certain that I am the first one to deplore some of copyright laws; but the more we dislike them, the more it is important to know these laws and conform to them. Rama 09:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I know you are a nice person. So what did you do to get WoW riled up at you???? I reverted three page moves today! Cary "Bastique" Bass ^parler _voir 15:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

FYI I move-protected your page. Check your History Cary "Bastique" Bass ^parler _voir 19:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh dear. Good idea, given the context. Thanks you. Rama 13:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Caricature Charlie Hebdo

Bonjour,

J'ai remarqué votre suppression de mon image Upload de la caricature de Charlie Hebdo. Nénamoins, il m'aurai sembler plus juste de me demander des informations avant de l'effacer. En effet, cette image est libre de droit. Tiré de RTL.fr, moi même journaliste, j'ai eu confirmation que cette image était libre de droit par leur rédaction, image étant été donné par la rédaction de Charlie Hebdo quelques heures avant la distribution du journal.

Aussi, je me permets d'upload à nouveau cette image.

Cordialement, Emirix 11:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Nouvelle édition : Confirmation via internet, et je vous invite à en faire de même vis à vis de RTL et surtout de Charlie Hebdo :). Emirix 11:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Grand classement du Louvre

Bonjour, jue suis en train d'essayer de faire le grand classement de la categorie Louvre, j'ai décidé de subdiviser les catégories en salles du Louvre, ce qui permet une visite virtuelle mais aussi de repérer facilement les sections a photographier (tant que c'est encore authorisé).

Pour un exemple déjà classé voir -> Category:Near Eastern Antiquities in the Louvre

Je viens de passer au début du tri sur les antiquité égyptiennes, mais nombre de photographies que vous avez ajouté manquent d'informations (en particulier les descriptions et/ou numéros d'inventaires du Louvre), ce qui rend leur classement difficile. Si vous avez ces informations (au moins les salles) pourriez vous les ajouter svp ? Merci par avance. Miniwark 16:51, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Bonjour ! Bonne idée, le coup des salles.

Le classement et la description des photos est mon tonneau des Danaïdes personnel, que j'avais un peu laissé en friche ces derniers temps, mais je vais m'y remettre, d'autant plus qu'il semble y avoir de l'activité dans le domaine. Bonne continuation ! Rama 18:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Merci pour les encouragements. Pour faciliter le classement j'ai crée deux modèles -> Template:Louvre-en & Template:Information Louvre. J'ai commencé a classer certaines photos quand la description ou le numéro d'inventaire me permettre de retrouver le détail à l'aide de la base Atlas n'hesitez pas a me corriger si je me plante. J'ai aussi remarqué que toutes photos sont attribuées à l'utilisateur Med alors que c'est vous qui les avez uploadées, est-ce une erreur ? Miniwark 02:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Et merci surtout à vous pour vos contributions !

Non, ce n'est pas une erreur: nous étions allés ensemble photographier la section d'Egyptologie; les photos résultantes ont ensuite été uploadées depuis mon ordinateur, d'où la différence. Rama 09:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

PS: n'hésitez pas à retirer la categorie "Egyptian antiques by Rama" des photos que vous traitez: le but de cette categorie était de répertorier les photos en manque d'information, et de tirer satisfaction à la voir se dépeupler :) Rama 09:06, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok je vais le faire et retirer celles qui manquent d'infos de cette cat. Sinon, comme écrit plus bas j'en avais proposé certaines à la suppression immédiate : la plupart des photos de fiches d'objets. J'ai déja utilisé ces photos pour classer les objets correspondants, mais apparemment c'est à toi de les supprimer car tu est administrateur (je ne savais pas ça). Miniwark 08:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC) PS : Attention il manque des licences sur des photos de Med, si tu pouvais vérifier ça. Sinon je peu les ajouter si tu me dis laquelle il désire.

En fait, l'idée serait de supprimer de la catégorie les images qui ont assez d'info, comme ça la catégorie rassemble ce sur quoi i lreste du travail.

Pas de problème pour les fiches, je vais faire ça. Merci ! Rama 14:10, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:Egyptian antiques by Rama

I guess you can delete your own images, right? A bunch of these have been listed on COM:CSD by User:Miniwark but I'm going to remove them. pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Certainly, no problem ! Rama 14:12, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

RE

Hi. I speak about this with David Monniaux and he says me that those images are copyviol, probably. I charged those images for inexperience, and I put the source in the category of french Prime ministers. But, I repeat, is probably mistake. --RED DEVIL 666 11:18, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I do not doubt your good faith for a second. Besides, it is quite possible that some of these photographs might be free anyway, for other reasons. It just needs double checking (if you could provide the URL, it might be helpful). Cheers ! Rama 12:39, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

CERN

Thank you for your contribution at CERN page. You have uploded a lot of images. I think, You shold resize them to a smaller size, because the resolution is not as high as many pixels the pictures have. Why don't make colour pictures, I think they are nicer, and under a picture I can refer to a colour if I want to speak a part of the detector.

On the page CERN the Image:CERN-Rama-47.jpg and Image:CERN-Rama-51.jpg is a broken link, could you fix it? -- Arpad Horvath 10:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

The only high sensitivity films I was carrying were Ilford 3200. Furthermore, I am colour-blind, and I use Linux, so scanning colour photographs is an unnerving endeavour for me.

Sorry for the sharpness, I am used to sharper lenses than this wide angle zoom (quite an optical catastrophe compared to the Summilux I am used to) and to less grainy films, so I scanned in maximum resolution out of sheer habit.

Do you work on the site in Geneva ? Cheers ! Rama 10:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

No I don't work at Geneva. I'm a teacher at a Polytechic near Budapest. But i'm on the way to get a PhD degree in the theme Particle and astrophysics in education. I'm not colourblind, but i mix red and green sometimes :-) You don't have some friend to help you to scan coluors.

For the sharpness. Perhaps at these pictures would be good a commant like this (linux package imagemagick)

convert -resize 50% rich.png rich_small.png

but I had a probe with a picture, and smaller has larger size in bytes. So if the size in bytes would be not smaller enough, the original picture is better.

-- Arpad Horvath 17:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

The server resizes the images anyway, so this is a problem only for those who want to use the full-sized images.

Anyway I am trying to find a way to improve these images, both in sharpness and colour. I have made benchmarks of the Summilux with a Kodak 400UC (professional colour negative) against the Minolta-Konica 7D, and I find the results depressing :p Maybe I can do something at the level of the scan.

On serial letters, and on decision trees

Dear Rama, I d.o_k.n.o.w it was kind from you to welcome me, "any-IP", by serial letter, although I've made my serious joke on that. I just lacked the time to visit your page earlier. I took this time _now_ because I'd like to ask whether you think my "Decision tree on Uploading Images to Commons" (see COM:VP) might seem of some use to you. I'd like to have it translated into other languages, to be able to find out what would come out ON-SCREEN by such "ancient-type hardcopy", and to adjust my idea to reality. Therefore, I ask you whether (in case you like +support the idea at all) you might like to help for a "(ja)" version of such. I'd like to find out how to cope with such. In case you are interested, please leave a note here or visit my Talk page (to see my answer to your letter, btw, too). tx, &best, Wolfgang, from Austria. (You'd be very much welcome to answer in French, if you'd prefer - at the moment I'm just too tired, after some hours of English Talk, to switch over to French language without making too many mistakes. Good evening, w., _T.P.B 18:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC) PS: My welcome-gift to you.AND.the.World: Image:Exemplum JPEGis.jpg (I do know I'll have to work hard on this one).

Greetings !

No problems about the jokes. I wish I could offer more personalised greetings, but I simply do not have the time...

I think that you decision tree is a good idea, possibly a very good one. The difficulty now is of course to tune the content of the boxes to make certain that what we suggest will never contradict a law, and that we can give a fair general feeling of the topic (which is very very complicated, so it will always be rough and approximative).

When we are certain of what we want to put in the box, I will be happy to give a try to a japanese version, it would be a good exercise for me.

Thank you for the gift, and good continuation ! Rama 21:17, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks. Re: serial letter, I really mean its text just could be slightly changed, to make clear it being what it is, but sent by someone who signed it and, possibly, might be available for a question by following the link in the signature.

Re (ja), I did not know that someone still talked about the picture. I personally felt by just adding those extra-numbers (1) (2) (3) it might become sufficiently flexible, as by footnotes there could be given explanations as precisely as anyone might desire - so, we might not make things worse, but on many aspects better for the „simple user“, at once, without necessesarily having to disturb him. In case a discussion later comes to a point where a better tree can be made, and can be made as SVG, let's just forget about the this edition, or rather merge it into the next one. Therefore, if you (as soon as you) are able or willing to give japanese text (even less than perfect, just for a trial/demo version) please drop a line on my Talk page: I'm totally curious about the sizes the frames will have to have in such language. Later, Japanese users might help to improve any point of importance to them, hm? I'm going to unwatch this page from now on, as, for myself, I'm in some trouble about keeping my mind clear - I've read too many too different pages... Bye, Wolfgang Annie IP 21:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I talked to Soufron, our legal maven, who expressed quite an interest in your idea; he is quite busy all around, but you two might perhaps want to get in touch. Rama 10:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

On CERN picture

Picture editing on CERN27: I just now overwrote your picture. It seems my editor does better compression without noticeably loosing definition, so, the new version is somewhat smaller. In case you disagree with my decision, please just revert. Bye, Annie IP 22:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Jolly good. I really have a very silly relation to my scanner, and this sort of bloated files of mine are quite symptomatic. Thank you for the improvement ! Rama 10:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

On mice and wikipedians policies

May I please ask you to show on recently created Image:Annie IP's serious jokes Nr1.png, as an example, how to deal with the merging of several souces with different Licences? I'm not in a hurry on this, but think it might be good to know what to do in such case - whether this can be managed at all without especially asking single contributors (that bastard who insists in his copyright on that ridiculous little exemplum-thing, mainly!) and asking them to change their mind. tx, Annie IP 09:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I tried to give an opinion of Image talk:Annie IP's serious jokes Nr1.png; I hope it makes some sense. Cheers ! Rama 10:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

TX, I'm going to read by now. Annie IP 10:58, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

On editing "First Steps"

Hello, I start a dummie- or demoversion of "Beginners First Steps" on Commons:Erste Schritte which I discuss on Commons talk:First steps. Would you please have a look at it? I might need some protection for my idea, which seriously differs from acual First Steps by using several more little pages. As beeing in a flame war with (at least) one of the German admins, I'm afraid I might not be able to show my thing running before it would possibly be killed. TX, Wolfgang Annie IP 19:00, 10 March 2006 (UTC) Still raw translations and partially raw articles: User:Huitzlipochtli III./Annie IP's 1st; /Upload file; /Embed media.

Statues identified

I happened to be glancing through your Orsay photos and I've identified a few of them, adding notes to that effect on their description pages.

• Image:Statue-Orsay-02.jpg and Image:Statue-Orsay-08.jpg are La jeunesse d'Aristote by Charles Degeorge - I actually wrote the article just so I could use a thumbnail one of your images there!
• Image:Statue-Orsay-07.jpg is the original nude version of David by Antonin Mercié (most reproductions add a loincloth).
• Image:Statue-Orsay-15.jpg is Une trouvaille à Pompei by Hippolyte Moulin. (Personally I think a three-quarter left view would have been more dramatic, but there you are.)
• Image:Statue-Orsay-18.jpg is a detail from Pan et oursons by Emmanuel Frémiet.

Given a little research I could probably name all the others, but that'll do for now! Hope this has been of some use.

-- Lee M 18:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh great ! Thank you very much ! I should have taken more time to note down these, but I was too busy toying with the camera... thank you very much, yet another example that this Wiki thing is a good idea ! :) Rama 21:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Demande ... genante

Salut, je vient encore de supprimer 2 image d'ado (?) se masturbant, et j'en ai assez marre de voir tout les mois que ces upload sont fait sous le drapeaux "photo encyclopedique" alors que c'est vraiment douteux comme forme. J'ai par ailleyr vu dans category:masturbation tu as fait des dessins de masturbation feminine et un de masculine, pourrais-tu alors en faire au moins un autre pour la masturbation masculine, plus zommer ou plus contrasté, et la categoriser partout (category:masturbation/sex/nude/etc.) pour que les articles de wikipedia l'utilisent (dans le fr c'est pas flagrant que c'est un homme, et l'image est trop claire).

Hi Rama... would you mind translating my message here? I suspect this user can speak French. Thanks for your help, pfctdayelise (translate?) 10:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Karsh picture of Churchill

Hello. I see that you deleted the picture of Churchill taken by Yousuf Karsh. According to Library & Archives Canada the picture is in the public domain. See Image talk:Albert Einstein.jpg for further discussion on this. Why do you claim that it was a copyvio? Why do you not apply this logic to the other Karsh photos? I would like to upload this picture again, as it appears to be PD. However, I figured it would be best to discuss first. -- JamesTeterenko 23:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I do not remember about this image. I might have been a mistake on my part, feel free to re-upload it. Rama 10:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I have done so. -- JamesTeterenko 05:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Template:Deletion_requests#category_.22French_Official_Publication.22

David Monniaux wrote some warning text on the template talk page, and I just added it to the template itself (but in a noinclude, so it doesn't show up when you transclude the template). Er... can we close the debate on COM:DEL? I think, unfortunately, all the people who need to understand your message don't actually read that page. pfctdayelise (translate?) 08:59, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

It does not seem to exactly cause a turmoil of enthousiam, yes :)

I think that there was probably no harm done, and with the warning, we have done what we can to prevent a similar error to occur again, so the debate can be closed, for me. Thanks ! Rama 10:10, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

One new picture for Anal sex ??

Hi Rama, I have found that you created that nice picture about Oral sex and was wondering if you might have been thinking about painting or drawing a similar one on Anal sex? There are so far only an ancient bottle and an Indian picture, and a new one would definitely enhance the article. Thanks! Hardern 11:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

More or less, but I though that the Japanese engraving illustrated the point rather well... But if you have specific ideas about what would be needed exactly, I am open to suggestions. Cheers ! Rama 11:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Picasso image deletes

I note that a number of Picasso images present on wikipedia are not on commons. It seems that they were here once, but that you deleted them. EG: w:Image:Stein by picasso.jpg. Just wondering what the elaboration on the reasoning was on the image deletion of Picasso getrude stein. Your note was "trivially copyvio". The deletion discussion on Picasso images contained mention that images published prior to 1923 are PD-US, and the servers are in the US, so since this painting came out in 1906, why is this not PD-US? -Mak 20:11, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind. I saw an answer to this issue in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Archives04#All_images_of_Henri_Matisse. thanks- ignore my query. -Mak 03:11, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, your answer to your own question is accurate; I would also love it if works of art could fall into the public domain 70 years after their publication rather than 70 years after the death of the author, but unfortunately, this is not the case. Rama 09:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I know all these gotchas are old news to veterans like you, but it is frustrating for newcomers to learn the situation after having done a lot of work collecting images for upload. It would be nice to have a "Common misconceptions and mistakes" page for each PD template that is reviewed for accuracy. Not a page explaining the misconceptions and mistakes, just listing them, and making a reference to a stationary location where the issue is discussed. Oftentimes the issue discussion has been moved to an archive and the link is broken. Some of them as you are no doubt are all to familiar with are counterintuitive. EG: Just because a photograph was seized by the US from a nazi during WWII doesn't mean it is PD-USGOV. In war, it is legal to take away someone's breathing rights, but not their copyright- even if it is of photographs documenting genocide. Grim situation, but we have to stay legal. -Mak 19:51, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

We're talking about law, not about morality :p

I'm taking good note of your suggestion for this sort of FAQ, it is a good idea.

I hope that you'll find it enjoyable to contribute despite this unpleasant surprise. Cheers ! Rama 11:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

No worries- Commons will be a mind boggling reservoir of images even if we manage to get a fraction of the images that conform to the existing rules. Just the other day I uploaded a heap of Ansel Adames photos that he did for hire to the US GOV. Some are mediocre, but a few are really great images. This is way way cool. -Mak 06:14, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Louvres-antiquites-egyptiennes-img 2884.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Louvres-antiquites-egyptiennes-img 2884.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

FS Siroco

Hi. I've just made Foudre class landing ships on the Polish Wiki. I have a question: if drawings like this are also covered by Net Marine licence? Pibwl 23:40, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, fellow Navy lover :)

I think that the licence of this particular drawing is an error. The source states "shéma et photos DCN" (sic), which means that the media are not by the people listed as having given their agreement. DNC is in fact the company which builds most warships in France.

I will remove this image, since this was clearly an error. Thank you and cheers ! Rama 09:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Pity :-) I'll have to scratch some generic landing ship drawing myself in a free time then :-) Pibwl 19:09, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

If it can be of some help, the drawings of the Mistral, on the same site, were made by one of the fine people who gave us their blessing [1]. Rama 06:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Wiki links using language bar

There was a recent Village Pump discussion Commons:Village_pump#Navigation_from_Image_pages where I solicited interest in the question of where to place links to articles in other wikipedias. I will not repeat the issues here, but there was very little interest expressed. My preference (rationale also expressed on VP) is to move to a Language bar like method of indicating links. EG for da Vinci's Mona Lisa / La Jaconde:,

Mona Lisa Links: Template:Lang-Mona Lisa

The technique has a number of advantages. For situations such a photo from a diplomatic conference, this would allow links to multiple sets of articles eg concerning the Malta conference about Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt. That is, there would be one bar for Stalin, one for Churchill, and so on. Interwiki links on the sidebar makes one subject seem so much more important at the expense of the others.

What do you think? I ask because you have edited some of the Info templates I have been working on.

I am very open to any suggestions about how to format the multiple language designations. I tried to get the title "Mona Lisa" in multiple forms, but the expansion of terms can be huge. Consider for example the vernacular terms for Ostrich in other languages Category:Struthio_camelus- so an interwiki link bar would be huge/ unusable for such terms.

Technically, I understand perfectly how I will implement any variety of formats, so I need no assistance there. On the other hand, if you think the sidebar method of doing interwikis is better, that would be helpful too.

-Mak 16:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

My first impression would be that the two methods are not mutually exclusive : side bar for the general article, and templates for cases such as your example. This said, it might be quite a challenge to maintain the template : in my experience, sections within Wikipedia articles tend to change rather often. Good luck ! Rama 07:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree they aren't mutually exclusive and I am not making any case to omit the traditional use of interwikis.

I was not aware that I made links to sections within articles in my example. But you are right, people could do that. I think the entire Mona Lisa articles will not go away, but there will be additions in other wikipedias. Happily though, this can be automated, since I name the info template the same as the english language article. Generally, everyone updates en.wikipedia with interwikis, so I can use that to find new interwikis. The bot periodically walks the info template list, accesses en, then updates these language bar entries. Then regardless whether anyone decided the interwiki bar uses the Category links or article links, there will always be a link to relevant articles in all languages. Seems maintainable to me, but perhaps I misunderstood your comment. -Mak 16:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Tournagemoliere1.jpg

Hi Rama, just wondering if you can help identify a possible source for this image? (it has a French caption) Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 13:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Here you go.

It seems to be self-made photograph, the Exif and size of the image look plausible. Rama 19:31, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

So the person put the caption on it themselves? pfctdayelise (translate?) 23:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Let's say that it does not seem unlikely. The caption on the photo is purely descriptive there are no marks of copyrights (something I imagine a professional/commercial photo would not fail to have) ; the exif indicates a small digital camera unlikely to be used by professionals ; and there seems to be no official website for the film in question, so it does not seem to be the too-often-seen case of an official images dropped on Commons.

That said, I can enquire further if you think that this is safer. Rama 23:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

No, that's fine. If you think it's OK then I trust your judgement. I just can't judge about it because it's in French :). pfctdayelise (translate?) 00:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

La license la plus "convenient"

Salut, pourrais tu regarder Commons:Village_pump#Recomanded_licensing. J'en ai conclue (d'après ton image), qu'il fallait encourager la double license {{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5}}. Est-ce ca (2.5)? ou est-ce une autre ? Yug (talk) 19:57, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

J'avais mentionné la cc-by-sa, si possible dernère version ; cela dit, il y a des licenses comme la Cc-by qui vont bien aussi ; le but ici était de faire remarquer que la licence GFDL seule a l'effet pervers "huit pas de license", et de proposer la licence CC la plus prache possible. On garde la GFDL pour des raisons purement "historiques".

De la même façon, je mets mes images en double licence CeCILL et Cc-by-sa, simplemnt pour rendre hommage à la CeCILL que j'aime bien -- je sais qu'elle est mal adaptée à une image mais en l'occurence, ça n'est pas un problme puisqu'il y a la Cc-by-sa avec (en attendant qu'une version de la CeCILL soit écrite pour les images et les textes...). Rama 09:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

License => Résultat dans un livre

Resalut Rama (ca fait un bail qu'on s'est pas croisé), je vien d'adopter l'image Image:BD-propagande colour en.jpg, et ce qui m'interresse le plus est le bilan d'équivalance {{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa}} <=> le rendût final [Image + NomDeL'Auteur + cc-by-sa - GFDL].

Dans Special:Upload, => Licensing propose une douzaine de license (en survolant on voi le modèle associé)

Un travail que j'encouragerais beaucoup beaucoup serait de faire une tableau_bilan_licensing.png (ou SVG) avec pour chaque cas:
Le model <=> une illustration de ce que l'on verrait dans le cas d'une réutilisation/publication.

Voilà l'idée : une extension aux licenses principale d'un shema d'équivalence, mais ca represente du boulot. A+ Yug (talk) 19:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Category:Images requiring rotation

Salut, I have been rotating images in this category and two of your images were placed here. My question is, as the interior light has made the phtographs with a yellow hue, when i rotate them, would it be ok with you to convert the image to black and white (gray tones)? Merci bien WayneRay 21:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)WayneRay

Thank you very much ! Actually you can do even better by applying a little autolevel. This should restore much of the colours as not "yellow"ed by the artificial lightening. Sorry I did not so that myself at the taking of the photo, I have a new camera with which I am not yet completely familiar. Thank you very much for your work ! Rama 22:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I tried to lighten up 4 of your photos and rotated at least 6. Let me know if they look alright WayneRay 20:37, 21 June 2006 (UTC)WayneRay

bétise ?

Salut rama, dis moi j'essaye d'améliorer les entrées des bots sur les communes françaises sur fr: (parce que perso je trouve ça assez piteux ces pages toutes faites et toutes vides, bref c'est pas le sujet). Et du coup, j'avais des photos d'un truc local que j'ai mis en ligne que j'ai bien catégorisé dans leur catégorie de village que j'ai elle même catégorisée dans la catégorie Cities and villages in Marne. Seulement voilà en retournant sur fr, je vois que le bled en question s'appelle Ay et pas Aÿ comme je l'ai écrit sur commons. Du coup, il me faudrait les services d'un admin pour renommer ma category:Aÿ en category:Ay, et j'ai pensé à toi :o) Merci d'avance. sand 16:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Commons-l subscription

Hello Rama,

as per Commons talk:Administrators, I am asking all admins to subscribe to commons-l, a mailing list for Wikimedia Commons policy and project discussion. Since many admins are only on Commons infrequently, this is a good way to alert people about important happenings. The mailing list is nominally multilingual, but predominantly English.

If you are already subscribed to commons-l, I apologize for bothering you, and you are free to ignore this message. If you don't want to use your regular e-mail account, feel free to leave me a message, and I can send you a GMail invite. Traffic on the mailing list is relatively low, and we do not expect admins to read all messages to the list, but it would be nice if you could check on it at least every few weeks. Thanks for your time,--Eloquence 23:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. Rama 11:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Copyright issue

Hi Rama, you uploaded several images of Evstafiev Mikhail (e. g. [2], [3]). You cite him like following: “I see no problem with my photos being used on Wiki pages, would be grateful, as before if the credits say "Photo by Mikhail Evstafiev".”. Unfortunately this isn't appropriate, because free re-use – not just on Wiki pages – is one of the basic ideas of commons. Can you please ensure and clarify, that the copyright holder agrees to license his photographs under the terms of CC-BY-SA? Kindly, norro 08:54, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

You can ask the author directly : user:Evstafiev. Cheers. Rama 12:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Alexander G Bell First Telephone picture posting

Rama,

Please reveiw the pix you posted of the Copy of the original phone of Graham Bell at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. The phone with the blue hose is not Bell's phone, The Bell (Gallows)phone is in the far right rear of the picture (partial). That is the device you should have posted.

The angle of the picture made it look as though the blue hose devise was associated with the label #1 for Bell's device ----not so!

Cartes postales

Bonjour

Merci pour votre réponse. Toutefois, si on en reste à cette problématique, on peut supprimer une bonne partie des illustrations des articles consacrées au début du XXème siècle et des bouquins par la même occasion. L'article que j'ai rédigé sur l'histoire des Tramways du Havre reprend en partie un extrait d'un livre que j'ai rédigé sur les tramways et chemins de fer d'intérêt local dans ma région, ouvrage dans lequel on trouve environ 200 cartes postales reproduites avec mention de la collection ( la mienne ou celle de personnes contactées ). De plus, au dos des cartes postales, soit on ne trouve rien ( au moins la moitié, j'en possède plus de 3 000 et c'est un échantillon représentatif ), soit on trouve le nom de l'imprimeur ( ex. Neurdein frères, Imp. Crété, succ - Paris-Corbeil, pour une carte postale du Tréport ( 76 ) !, ex. Imprimerie Lévy et frères, Paris, pour une carte postale de Eu ( 76 )! ), pas du photographe. Il arrive, dans de petites communes, de trouver le nom d'un photographe local qui fait office d'imprimeur et édite ses propres clichés, de là à savoir quand il est mort et à contacter ses descendants, autant rechercher une aiguille dans une botte de foin. Je comprends parfaitement le copyright sur des articles ou photos récentes, mais quand il est impossible de déterminer l'ayant-droit, cela m'échappe un peu.

Cordialement

antonov14 16:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Suite.

Je me permets de vous citer un texte des Archives départementales de l'Yonne à propos de la reproduction des cartes postales, lien [[4]]:

Toute utilisation à des fins de reproduction ou de représentation des cartes postales, conservées aux Archives Départementales de l’Yonne est interdite, sans autorisation préalable.

L’exploitation dans un but lucratif de toute reproduction de cartes postales repose sur les règles juridiques contenues dans le code de la propriété intellectuelle du 1er juillet 1992 et ses modifications jusqu’à ce jour. Ces règles énoncent les droits des auteurs (droit moral et droit patrimonial du photographe et de l’éditeur) ainsi que ceux des tiers (droit de la personne photographiée, droit du propriétaire de l’œuvre photographiée, droit de l’auteur de l’œuvre photographiée) ; La durée de protection s’élève à 70 ans après le décès de l’auteur (loi n° 97-283 du 27 mars 1997) outre l’année civile en cours ; cette utilisation doit être spécifiée sur la commande. Elle pourra donner lieu au paiement d’une redevance. Toute nouvelle utilisation nécessite une autre demande.

L’utilisateur s’engage à identifier la reproduction par une légende qui comportera la mention «Archives Départementales de l’Yonne» suivie de la cote de la carte postale.''

Il est bien précisé dans un but lucratif et ce n'est pas le cas sous Wikipédia. J'ai déjà eu l'autorisation d'un éditeur ( assez connu ) de publier avec 200 cartes postales dans un but qui était lucratif ( le texte était plus important que les illustrations, donc un peu lucratif ) même si je n'ai pas fait fortune, donc je ne vois pas pourquoi cela poserait problème ici. Si tel était le cas, je souhaite beaucoup de courage aux administrateurs pour retirer ou filtrer tout ce qui est suspect.
