Kategorier

Bemærk venligst at jeg har ændret kategorier for mange af de filer du har uploadet til Commons. Bl.a. har jeg ændret Ponca territory and 1858 and 1865 reservations.png, så den nu er i Category:Maps of Nebraska og Category:Treaties of United States. Vi prøver generelt undgå alt for generelle kategorier på Commons, såsom Category:Treaties eller Category:Nebraska. Det kan dog kræve en del erfaring at hitte ud af kategorierne på Commons, så du er lovligt undskyldt.--Hjart (talk) 09:52, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Ok. Jeg anerkender selvfølgelig din overordnede viden, MEN er der forskel på dansk og engelsk/amerikansk Commons? Hvis jeg ikke angiver en kategori Ponca til kortet her, så er "Ponca Territory and 1858 and 1865 reservations" vel ikke at finde i rækken af oploadede filer om poncaerne, der er interessant for mange amerikanere og i hvert fald (håber jeg) for poncaerne? Hvis en traktat vedrørende poncaerne kun findes under Treaties of Unites States, tvivler jeg på, at en eneste ponca eller andre ponca-interesserede folk finder den. Jeg prøver bevidst at lave kort og andet, der også kan benyttes af engelsksprogede wiki-bidragydere, da jeg nu skriver om folkeslag i Nordamerika; teksten og filnavnet på Ponca territory ... er netop på engelsk af dén grund.

Filen Ponca territory ... står så nu under Maps of Nebraska, hvilket måske er ok, men skal den også stå under Maps of South Dakota? Hvis du åbner filen, er det faktisk et kort over South Dakota, du kikker på, idet grænsen mellem South Dakota og Nebraska blev ændret i 1890. Jeg ved ikke, hvordan den slags pudsigheder klares, men jeg har gjort dig opmærksom på den nu.

Jeg er meget interesseret i at høre fra dig igen.06:54, 13 March 2022 (UTC) Indianertosset (talk) 06:54, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Commons er et fælles billedlager for alle de forskellige Wikipediaer i wikimedia familien, så der er overhovedet ingen forskel på hvilke filer f.eks. en dansker og en englænder/amerikaner ser på Commons. Hvis du ser nederst på siden Bodmer Missouria Otoe Ponca Indians.jpg vil du f.eks. bemærke en længere liste over artikler på PT 13 forskellige wikier hvor dette billede optræder. Bemærk også at der nederst i sideboksen til venstre på Category:Ponca er links til adskillige artikler på forskellige sprog om Poncaer. Enhver ponca-interesseret uanset sprog har en chance for at opdage de billeder du lægger her. Bemærk også at jo mere generelle kategorier et billede er placeret i, des flere billeder vil der ofte være i de kategorier, hvilket nemt kan reducere chancen for at andre opdager billeder om et bestemt emne (Jeg bliver i hvertfald hurtigt træt af at gennemsøge kategorier med adskillige tusinde billeder, hvoraf måske kun ganske få har relation til det jeg søger). Hvis dit kort også dækker dele af South Dakota, så tilføjer du bare Category:Maps of South Dakota. Jeg kunne ikke lige umiddelbart gennemskue det.--Hjart (talk) 07:34, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Jeg skal måske starte med at skrive god morgen!

Tak for dit hurtige svar. Jeg misforstod nok det første, du skrev. Jeg troede, at filen "Ponka territory ..." nu KUN er at finde under Category: Maps of Nebraska, og at mine oploadede ponca-traktater KUN er at finde under Category: Treaties of United States (hvor jeg netop forestiller mig, at de er gemt væk mellem 500 andre traktater). Det er jo ikke tilfældet, hvis jeg fatter det rigtigt.

Jeg vil anstrenge mig for at kigge kategorier i fremtiden, prøve at få oploadede filer placeret korrekt, og hvis jeg fortsat gør det mindre smart, hører jeg måske fra dig igen.

Jeg kan se Ponca Territory ... er i Category: Maps of South Dakota nu, så tak.Indianertosset (talk) 08:59, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Pipestone Quarry

Bemærk venligst Category:Pipestone National Monument. Bemærk også at jeg på Wikidata har linket din nye artikel på dawiki med en række andre wikiers artikler om samme emne: Catlinit. --Hjart (talk) 07:41, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Fint og tak. Jeg mente nok, der skulle være en speciel side om Pipestone Quarry; men jeg syntes ikke, den poppede op, da jeg skrev "Pipestone", så jeg linkede til "Pipestone County", som blev vist af forslag.Indianertosset (talk) 08:26, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Jeg fandt det via den engelske artikel Catlinite. Hjart (talk) 08:45, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Bemærk også Category:Indian reservations in the United States by state og at jeg har tilføjet en relevant kategori der til nogle af dine nye uploads.--Hjart (talk) 10:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Fint og tak igen. Jeg skal forsøge at huske, hvad jeg lærer. Indianertosset (talk) 13:16, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

File:Artist Charles Trimble - Dancer (1967).png

More information please - That the work appears in a US govt publication, does not necesarily mean the artwork show is under a PD-USgov license. Do you have more details on the artwork and artist? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:54, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest. I have the information about Charles Trimble from the source written, Amiotte, Arthur: Art and Indian Children of the Dakotas. Book five. Office of Educational Services. U.S. Dept. of the Interior. Aberdeen. copied from govinfo.gov. Information given in connection to the dokument: Use: Unrestricted. The paintings are printed in the book with permission from the owners, so I think they knew the pictures could be used elsewhere. Yours Indianertosset (talk) 09:07, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes, that gave permission for that printing specifically, I am not sure it re-licensed the images a work of US government, especially if they had been exhibited prior to the publication. You may wish to clarify with others at Village pump. At minimum should add the authors lifetime to the file descripton of check if there was "Creator" tag for them on Commons. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:13, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I can see you know more about this than I do. Other U.S. documents with photographs have sometimes a text in connection with the document - Use: Possible restricted; so I thought it was all right to use the photographs from this school book for pupils. The owners - like Smithsonian Institution - of the paintings knew which puplication the picture of the painting would be printed in, when they gave the permission, so they knew it would be a Government Printing Office publication. Thats my reasoning. Yours Indianertosset (talk) 09:29, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

You may wish to check with the owners as to the status. I'm not from the US, Here when the Government 'comissions' a work or takes ownership, the copyright doesn't become a 'govt' copyright, it remains with the artist. With PD-US Gov, it's generally only works directly be Federal employees, in furtherance of their employment that counts for the license here. Commissioned works undertaken by external artists, grant recipients and so forth are not counted as Federal Employees. That's why you were queried. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:20, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I have changed the license on the uploaded files after a discussion on Village Pump. Hope it has settled the question. Yours Indianertosset (talk) 08:36, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
