Greetings! I think the image is freely available as follows: "These works are in the public domain because they were first published without copyright notice prior to 1978." The file's license tag also makes that clear. I'm certainly not a lawyer but believe that that the image is thus suitable for public domain. with all best wishes, Daderot (talk) 09:30, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi Daderot - two photos you uploaded in October last year as "Pinus lumholtzii" are absolutely not that species, but Pinus montezumae; I have renamed and recategorised them: File:Pinus montezumae - Christchurch Botanic Gardens - Christchurch, NZ - DSC02967.jpg and File:Pinus montezumae - Christchurch Botanic Gardens - Christchurch, NZ - DSC02969.jpg. Note the non-pendulous, stout, needles in 5s not 3s, persistent needle sheaths, and stout shoots. If the gardens had them labelled as Pinus lumholtzii, it would be a good idea to let them know so they can correct their labels. Hope this helps! - MPF (talk) 20:30, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi MPF - thank you so much! I just read the plaques but don't know any botany - so I very much appreciate all your work! hope you are well and happy - with thanks, Daderot (talk) 20:33, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Mixtec Mosaic Knife

Hello,

Do you recall if the knife you photographed here:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ceremonial_knife,_Mexico,_Alta_Highlands,_Mixtec,_c._1200-1500_AD,_obsidian,_turquoise,_spondylus_shell,_resin_-_De_Young_Museum_-_DSC00408.JPG

Belonged to the San Francisco Museum of Fine arts or the De Young's permanent collection, or if it was on loan from another museum? Did you photograph the display label, or recall if it was featured in a specific exhibition? I can't seem to find it in their online collection

Also, were there any other Mesoamerican or otherwise Precolumbian pieces on display you photographed that you have not uploaded here to Wikimedia yet?

Thank you,

MajoraZ (talk) 02:58, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello MajoraZ - I'm very sorry to report that I can't find any trace of this photo on my computer. Usually I save everything, including a separate photo of the label.... but alas, I can't find anything. It's strange that I can't. There seem to be various other photos of the same object on the Internet, but none seem to have any helpful info. Again - I'm sorry I can't help. Daderot (talk) 11:07, 28 September 2025 (UTC)

Moving from Category:Mashed potatoes in the United States to Category:Hungry-Man mashed potatoes

Do we know pretty clearly that Hungry-Man meals are only sold in the United States? If not, this was an incorrect re-categorization, because it can't be a subset of Mashed potatoes in the United States if its sold in other countries. Famartin (talk) 18:30, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Surfing was First Brought Here by Hawaiian Princes - Santa Cruz, California

Hello, My name is Jared, and I am an intern at Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.

Our team is developing a series of curriculum materials for educators called Smithsonian Folkways Music Pathways, designed to address disparities in K–12 classrooms and be used as resources in nontraditional educational spaces. These resources will be provided FREE to educators, everywhere. Each pathway focuses on a particular historical, cultural, geographic, or musical theme (e.g., The Music Cultures of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders).

We want to give you a heads-up that we will be using Surfing was First Brought Here by Hawaiian Princes - Santa Cruz, California in our slideshow while following the guidelines of the associated Creative Commons license.

You will receive full credit in any educational material. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns! We would love to continue this conversation.


Thank you, Jared

Photos of medieval artworks

Hello Daderot, today I take the opportunity to contact you after having been already very happy with your photos of Museum Schnütgen in Cologne. I worked a bit on the collection at Wikidata recently and your images were a real treasure (see Collections of Museum Schnütgen). High quality and in such a systematic way … thanks for that! So now I returned to some smaller WP articles about these artworks, and again stumble upon an object taken by you: File:Saint Barbara, Cologne, c. 1500, limewood, polychrome - Germanisches Nationalmuseum - Nuremberg, Germany - DSC02940.jpg. With this, I'd like to ask a favor, if possible: Do you have a version with a tiny bit more surrounding space at the top and the bottom you could upload? It would really fit a bit better in a gallery I plan to create in a new article together with File:The Virgin Mary with Coral, Cologne, c. 1500, limewood, polychrome - Museum Schnütgen - Cologne, Germany - DSC00068.jpg and File:The Virgin Mary in an Aureole, Cologne, c. 1500, limewood, polychrome - Museum Schnütgen - Cologne, Germany - DSC00067.jpg . Thanks for checking and warmest regards from Cologne Elya (talk) 17:05, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello Elya! thank you for your exceptionally kind words. I am extremely impressed with what you have been doing for the Museum Schnütgen - this is really what we all hoped the Internet would be. And it is! (in some places ;-) ) thanks to you and all your careful work. Sad to say, though, I don't have a better photo - looking through my older photos, I realize that I did a poor job in framing the images and giving them enough room to "breathe". For this I am sincerely sorry, and do hope that you can find someone's picture that does a better job. With apologies but most especially thanks for everything that you are doing, Daderot (talk) 22:09, 24 April 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind words, too :-) And no worries, I'm happy that I found your pic at all! It's become so common for me but still a miracle that you work on a collection or provenance of an artwork, and almost everything connected is already there … long live linked open data and Commons ;-) Elya (talk) 14:53, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Fyi, new category with your recent cement stamp.

See Category:Rilovich (surname). -- Ooligan (talk) 04:36, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! Very interesting. Best wishes, Daderot (talk) 13:02, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
You are very welcome @Daderot.
Best regards, -- Ooligan (talk) 16:48, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
Remarkable! He looks prosperous enough, doesn’t he? Daderot (talk) 18:13, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
Making these broad historic artifacts "connect"- is a great reward.
Mr. Rilovich looks like "the boss" in this photo.
Quotation from this blog: "He was an immigrant from the southern Dubrovnik region of modern day Croatia. According to the Dubrovnik Diaspora, Rilovich and Rilovick are variations of the original surname: Rilović " (underline added). -- Ooligan (talk) 18:27, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
He is buried here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/262301067/antone-bozo-rilovich
His name he stamped into cement and his name was cut into this grave marker. Like "bookends" of a life. -- Ooligan (talk) 18:41, 16 June 2026 (UTC)

Books you uploaded

Hi, When you upload books from the Internet Archive, could you please do it properly? e.g. File:Essays of Michel de Montaigne, tr. by Ch. Cotton, vol. 3, 1877.pdf.

  1. Use the {{Book}} template.
  2. Use consistent titles for several volumes of the same series.
  3. Upload the whole series.
  4. Provide the source with {{IA}}.
  5. Provide the complete information: author, editor, translator, place and date of publication, publisher, etc.
  6. Proper license {{PD-old-100-expired}}.
