@EugeneZelenko: what, are you saying the SVG needs a source? It was autotraced with Inkscape and then manually edited a little from File:City of Bainbridge Island 2016 logo.jpg, which as it consists of just a map (which can't be copyrighted) and simple text I don't believe crosses the TOO.

Hi! I reverted your edit. We have a bot that can work on FinnaReview so it should have its own template. --MGA73 (talk) 16:44, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Yeah. And bot operator is a bit inactive atm. But once he is back I have an idea how to get the 6k files reviewed. You could perhaps argue that a review is not needed because they were uploaded semi automatically. So we allready have one tool checking the files. --MGA73 (talk) 19:04, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

Dear DemonDays64, Hello and thanks for informed about for my file copyvio, I would like to apologize but I did not know that the uploaded file by me would prove to be copyrighted.→ คⅴīгค๓ ([ʆεt'ς tαʆƘ🇮🇳])← 06:13, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the notice on the Superman image. Like I said on my talk page it makes sense. I've learned a lot more about Dos and Don'ts of derivative works in the last few months. Sad because I wish we could have more available imagery for Superman, but I understand the restriction. I'm just glad that the public domain is open again. And that there are so many different types of things that we can upload now. I think the one distinction that is interesting is that cartoons/animated characters and characters with illustrated origins fall under a separate copyright restriction. I like the election and political maps. I've only tried those a few times and they are tough, so big commendation for that! MonkeyBBGB (talk) 18:56, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. GPSLeo (talk) 18:40, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Old GL request

In case you are still interested, I found a way to do it and already have some crops on my disk. However, I have some questions before I upload:

  • File format. PNG-compressed, they are quite large (800M+ the largest one), and they won't produce good thumbnails. I'd like to convert them to JPEG; do you have any reason not to, given that originals remain and crops can be done again if desired?
  • Resolution. Largest of files is comparable to tiles of original image (23696 x 16696), so it can't be normally manipulated too. Should I aim for upper bound on pixel size?
  • Names. For now, I keep them as (closest image already available).png. If I convert to JPEGs, this breaks. So there might be a reason to adopt a consistent naming at least for my uploads. Any ideas?

Gabuxae (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

@Gabuxae Hello! Sorry for the super late reply. If you check out this category of "high-resolution details" of the painting, you can see that about a year ago I did manage to make some cropped versions — I believe by using Croptool for an initial very laggy crop, and then cropping it into various components in Paint.NET. I don't think any of them were made from the tiled image, so they could be even higher-res, but they are way better than what we had previously, and certainly good enough for the Wikipedia page imo.
I think the ones I made are sufficient replacements for what was there but if you have higher-quality equivalents, feel free to overwrite mine. If you have made any additional useful crops — the WP page still has images that are not very hi-fi — feel free to put additional ones in that category. I am really not very active these days, and the details of the resolution and stuff are totally up to you (and I am honestly not knowledgeable about the stuff you mentioned with how to get images to render well on MediaWiki).
Thanks for your contributions! DemonDays64 (talkcontribsuploads) 11:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
No problem, the "super late" applies to my reply even more. Yup, my crops are about 3.5 times larger by side, but this doesn't seem to be much better for encyclopedic purposes. I'll definitely upload those crops that you didn't. If you want me to overwrite, please tag your images with {{Allow Overwriting}} - Gabuxae (talk) 08:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.

Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!

Regards,
ZI Jony
