Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Thanks for uploading File:Physiologus - Morgan museum & library.jpg. 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 {{self|cc-zero}} 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.

Yours sincerely, JuTa 01:37, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

I noticed that you uploaded several files using {{CC-BY-SA}} as license. This is not a correct license, as CC licenses always need a version number. Please correct the license tag, otherwise the files need to be deleted. Thanks! Sebari – aka Srittau (talk) 08:39, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Ecritures, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all occurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Nu lijkt het erop dat deze file in 2020 wederom is geupload als File:Speelgoed caravan met oranje afneembaar dak van “MATCHBOX”, objectnr 61468.JPG.

I may be missing something, but this file seems to have been moved in order to change ".tif" to ".tiff". If that is the case, then it should be moved back to stay in harmonization with the rest of the uploads which are part of User:Fæ/LOC. Thanks Fæ (talk) 16:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

File:Groei collecties Rijks Etnografisch Museum.jpg

Hoi Ecritures, heb je je gerealiseerd dat de afbeelding File:Groei collecties Rijks Etnografisch Museum.jpg van een vergelijkbare orde is, als van het werk momenteel hier op m'n OP besproken? Dit komt ook uit een werk op Deplher aangegeven als nog onder copyright. Het lijkt me sterk, dat de {{pd-old-70}} licentie daar klopt!? -- Mdd (talk) 16:54, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Hoi Mdd, dank voor je berichtje. Ecritures (talk) 17:27, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Aanvulling: Het is je - neem ik aan - bekend hoe auteursrecht werkt als een werk is gemaakt als werknemer van een organisatie? Op basis van die gedachtegang heb ik de afbeelding geüpload. Ik ben het dan ook oneens met de stelling dat het 'van een vergelijkbare orde is'. Groet, Ecritures (talk) 18:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Het werk is geschreven door nl:Willem Rassers wat niet is vermeld, en in dit geval kan hij de gegevens verzameld hebben waarop het lijndiagram is gebaseerd. Om deze reden kan hij ook als de auteur van dit diagram worden aangemerkt, tenzij dit anders is vermeld. -- Mdd (talk) 18:59, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Het is je - neem ik aan - bekend hoe auteursrecht werkt als een werk is gemaakt als werknemer van een organisatie? Ecritures (talk) 19:43, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

De verwijzing naar art. 7, 8 en 9 van de Nederlandse auteurswet is correct. (Ook door moderatoren op Commons worden deze artikelen regelmatig over het hoofd gezien.) Uiteraard zijn er heel soms uitzonderingen, maar dat lijkt me hier niet het geval. Vysotsky (talk) 09:55, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Dank @Vysotsky, mijn geduld met collega @Mdd is beperkt (als gevolg van eindeloze, andere discussies). Volgens AGF ging ik er vanuit dat bovenstaande kennis aanwezig was bij Mdd; maar ik had (met jouw reactie als voorbeeld) beter direct (en rustig) naar de juiste artikelen kunnen verwijzen. Ecritures (talk) 11:39, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Dat is een behoorlijk vals dilemma dat jouw geduld op raakt door "eindeloze, andere discussies." De laatste stand van zaken was, dat jij een nieuw gespreksonderwerp opende op m'n OP, dat jij je elders mengde in een oudere discussie, en jij je aldaar bovendien mengde in een second opinion verzoek. Jij bent hier op Wikipedia actief als vrijwilliger in een maatschappelijke organisatie, waar je bovendien bestuurlijke functies verricht, en waar je ook nog eens door de aanverwante Wikimedia organisatie bent gedetacheerd elders. In al die drie hoedanigheden heb ik met jou te maken, en dat initiatief is elders vaker veelal van jou uitgegaan.

Twee weken terug heb ik je een redelijk eenvoudige vraag gesteld, en ben ik eens begonnen om een stukje geschiedenis op te halen waar je eerder in de mist lijkt te zijn gegaan. Dat werd toen bestempeld als "...verschillende vage aantijgingen en insinuaties in de lap tekst." Het is mijn intentie om jou persoonlijk ter verantwoording te roepen omtrent vermoedelijke misstanden, die er door je optreden worden gegenereerd. Daar wens ik een normale discussie over, waarin je of anderen me van het tegendeel mogen overtuigen. Wat je hier en eerder weer hebt gezegd vind ik echter niet acceptabel. -- Mdd (talk) 15:26, 1 February 2021 (UTC) / Drie links toegevoegd Mdd (talk) 20:48, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Mdd Zorg je wel dat je deze keer je feiten goed op een rijtje hebt? Deze twee beweringen kloppen al niet namelijk: waar je bovendien bestuurlijke functies verricht, en waar je ook nog eens door de aanverwante Wikimedia organisatie bent gedetacheerd elders. Om jouw speurwerk naar je feitenvrije gebazel te vergemakkelijken: ik heb nooit bestuurlijke functies bekleed (in/bij de maatschappelijke organisatie waar ik ook als vrijwilliger actief ben) en ook ben ik niet door een aanverwante Wikimedia organisatie (elders) gedetacheerd. Je hebt dus maar in een vorm met mij te maken: en dat is als vrijwilliger op met name drie platformen: Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons en Wikipedia. Dus als jij een normale discussie ergens over wenst, wil je dan niet komen met allerlei onzin? Een normale discussie met iemand die voornamelijk onzin loopt te verkondingen is namelijk echt te moeilijk voor mij; dat is energie die ik liever in positieve samenwerkingen steek. (Een laatste tip: zorg ervoor dat je zaken aankaart op het platform waar ze thuishoren!) Ecritures (talk) 20:37, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Een vriendelijk, maar dringend verzoek aan Mdd om te stoppen met het grossieren in valse verdachtmakingen. Dit begint zo langzamerhand de spuigaten uit te lopen. En voor de goede orde ik ken Ecritures niet persoonlijk. Ik heb wel in de loop der tijd steeds meer waardering voor haar bijdragen gekregen, dat laatste kan ik helaas van jouw bijdragen niet zeggen. Gouwenaar (talk) 21:26, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Dank Gouwenaar voor deze woorden. Mdd Nog enigszins nadenkend over wat ik inderdaad ook 'valse verdachtmakingen' zou willen noemen: dit heeft toch helemaal niets te maken met de inhoud hier op Commons (of wikidata, wikipedia)? Dit lijkt eerder volledig te gaan om het beschadigen van een persoon die als vrijwilliger bijdraagt aan dit samenwerkingsproject. Ik leg je nota bene voortdurend uit hoe het in elkaar zit met auteursrecht: o.a. dát is inhoudelijk werken aan Commons. Met dit soort op de persoon gerichte verdachtmakingen en insinuaties speel je allang niet meer op de bal. Ecritures (talk) 21:46, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Je mag niet citeren uit werk dat niet gepubliceerd is

Voor het geval dat je het nog niet weet : "Je mag niet citeren uit werk dat niet gepubliceerd is." In dit geval geldt een oude versie die bewust geredigeerd wordt als een kladversie, en daar worden bewust zaken uit gehaald. -- Mdd (talk) 02:01, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Ik had niet gezien, dat je dit zelfs een tweede keer gedaan heb op de Commons:Deletion requests. Ik ben daar echt niet van gediend. -- Mdd (talk) 02:07, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hoe bedoel je 'niet gepubliceerd'? Je hebt zelf op 'Publish changes' geklikt en het gepubliceerd: je weet toch dat dat gewoon altijd op wikiplatformen zichtbaar en traceerbaar is? Als je iets niet wilt 'publiceren' moet je het niet publiceren; of begrijp ik je verkeerd? Ecritures (talk) 02:28, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Uncategorized

Beste Ecritures, Ik zie dat je regelmatig "Leiden uncategorized" weghaalt. Dat vind ik jammer, want ik ben van plan diverse Leidse collecties na te lopen op zowel de afbeeltenis als op de maker als op eventuele andere categorieën. Ik haal zelf pas het "uncategorized" weg als ik beide categorieën (of meer) heb toegevoegd. Als ik bij een portret van Cobet de categorie Carel Gabriel Cobet toevoeg, maar de maker Neuman nog niet (want het gaat sneller met vier Cobetten tegelijk), haal ik "uncategorized" nog niet weg -want het werk is nog niet klaar. Als je jouw methode blijft volgen, kom ik bijvoorbeeld Deterding niet meer tegen, terwijl die afbeelding zeer relevant is voor zijn categorie. Dat vind ik niet erg, maar dan ga ik een heleboel minder afbeeldingen categoriseren. Wat denk jij? Vysotsky (talk) 16:52, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Hoi Vysotsky, ik haal inderdaad die categorie met uncategorized weg omdat het inmiddels al een berg van 40.000 items zijn. Omdat Mr.Nostalgic ook categoriseert op de afdeling loop ik liever de beelden door per afdeling. Ook bij mij is het in principe de bedoeling om zowel bv afgebeelde als maker te vermelden (waarbij de maker mijns inziens het belangrijkste is). Toen ik bij het doorlopen van de uncategorized categorie echt honderden foto's tegenkwam over bv Minerva, de sterrenwacht, brieven en ander materiaal van/aan Snouck Hurgronje, de Huizinga-papers enzo heb inderdaad die uncategorized categorie verwijderd bij die foto's. En ook nu doe ik dat nog, vooral omdat die stapel zo groot is geworden en het steeds moeilijker zoeken is in die berg beelden... Ik categoriseer nu voornamelijk vanuit wat kleinere verzamelingen als KITLV, de fotocollectie, handschriften enzo. Maar als jij liever hebt dat ook die uncategorized categorie blijft staan tot er twee categorieën in verwerkt zijn, dan zal ik de volgende keren op het plusje en niet het pijltje in cat-a-lot klikken zodat ook uncategorized nog aan de afbeeldingen verbonden blijft. Laat het me weten :) Hartelijke groet, Ecritures (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

40.000 is niet heel veel in Commons. Bij Anefo ben ik langs veel meer afbeeldingen gelopen, en pak ik er wekelijks nog een paar dozijn mee. Grappig hoe verschillend we in Commons tegen zaken aankijken: ik vind de maker lang niet altijd het belangrijkst, al ben ik bij foto's juist wél erg gespitst op vermelding en categorisering van de fotograaf. Vergeet niet: namen van schilders etc. zijn nog vindbaar via de metadata, terwijl wat in beeld te zien is, niet altijd vertaald is in tekst. "Uncategorized" zorgt dat er ooit nog eens iemand naar gaat kijken, en ik kan me voorstellen dat dan juist bij foto's uit Indonesië etc. zaken of personen opvallen die nu niet bijzonder lijken. Dus: als je de categorie wilt laten staan, doe je me inderdaad een plezier. Anders even goede vrienden. Vysotsky (talk) 22:24, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Geen probleem natuurlijk! Ik laat de categorie staan, fijne avond. Ecritures (talk) 22:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

OpenRefine starts SDC development! 💎

Hello Ecritures! I hope all is well, and that this communication channel is more convenient than Telegram :-) As you may be aware, OpenRefine has started development of features for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons. Would you like to be informed about ongoing work? You can sign up here to receive occasional updates on a Wikimedia talk page of your choice. Also, feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions!

Specifically, I'm curious to hear if you'd be willing to help us test new features as they are released. Perhaps you would be interested in running tests with some of the materials you work with at Koninklijke Bibliotheek? If you are interested in providing feedback and early testing, you can fill in this form to indicate your interests and availability.

Many greetings! SFauconnier (talk) 13:45, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Sake Elzinga

Ecritures, zou je hier nog kunnen aangeven of je contact met het Drents Archief al dan niet resultaat heeft opgeleverd. Met vr. groet, Gouwenaar (talk) 12:58, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Ik zie je bericht nu pas (2.5 maand later); ik moet er weer even induiken wat de conversatie is geweest. Ik kijk het na. Excuses, Ecritures (talk) 15:12, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

Excuses zijn niet nodig hoor. Inmiddels is er een nieuwe beeldbank. Ik noemde indertijd nog 60 auteursrechtelijk beschermde foto's van Sake Elzinga. Kennelijk is dat teruggebracht tot 46 (zie hier, de indertijd hier gegeven link naar de 60 foto's werkt niet meer). Dat is maar een fractie van de niet-beschermde foto's t.w. 8.758. Vermoedelijk heeft dat te maken met de herkomst van foto's. De vrijgegeven foto's behoren tot de collectie van het Drents Archief zelf. De nog beschermde foto's behoren tot de collectie van de gemeente Assen. Wat de foto's van het Drents Archief zelf betreft bestaat er inderdaad een discrepantie tussen de verklaring dat het materiaal vrij van auteursrecht zou zijn en de bepaling in hun disclaimer, dat het materiaal slechts voor non-commerciële doeleinden gebruikt mag worden.

Vincenzo Campi, Fishmongers

Hi! I hope I am at the right place, but when Wiki links your account to two reproductions of details of Campi's painting 'Fishmongers'in the Pinacoteca di Brera. I am currently writing my thesis on Campi, and unfortunately struggling with finding high-res images of this painting. Since you have really big photos of this details, I wondered: do you happen to also have a high-res image of the whole painting? If you do, I'd be so grateful if you could share. It is strictly for my research, of course. Thank you so much for your time! Best, B. Babi.santo (talk) 08:29, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

I will have a look: I might have taken just the detail of that painting. I will get back to you about it. Ecritures (talk) 15:11, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
