Re:WLPA announcement

Hi Axel,
it should be fairly easy to get a unique list of people that uploaded images of Austria and Sweden (Finland did not participate in WLM last year), but I am afraid I am unable to get a list of people that uploaded pictures of Barcelona only (as opposed to the whole Spain). Since there is no page about the participation of Spain as a whole, I'm assuming that only Catalonia (or just the city of Barcelona) is taking part, right? odder (talk) 12:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Sure—I have both lists ready and waiting, but where do I get the template from? {{Welcome to WLPA}} doesn't exist at the moment… odder (talk) 12:06, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

This is now ready—the bot sent the announcement to 441 users. odder (talk) 14:33, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Axel—apologies for such a belated reply. I just wanted to let you know that I did have a look at the list of Hebrew participants, but due to encoding problems (a file that hold this data on Toolserver is… weird, to say the least), I haven't been able to get a working list of Hebrew users from there (and there's no working API holding this data, either). I spent a few hours searching for a solution, but had to consider myself defeated in the end. I'm sorry I didn't contact you before, I think I just forgot about this :( odder (talk) 20:09, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

No worries, and thanks for all help. I also learned that the hebrew uploads are going through piwiki, is that what causes the weirdness? /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 21:24, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

No, it's just encoding problems—though now I think of it, I could've sent the invitation to those of the Israeli participants that did not have any Hebrew characters in their usernames… ah well. odder (talk) 22:07, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Coast of Peru from Arica to Chincha.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Coast of Peru from Arica to Chincha.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 {{PD-self}} 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.

Hi Jarekt, I used Multichills Europeana search tool query-thing to find and upload those files. I'll go through them. Thanks for telling me. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 09:05, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I am not familiar with this tool, but it looks like it might still have some issues. I will check with user:Multichill about it. --Jarekt (talk) 11:29, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't know how familiar Maarten is with the tool either. He did some extra work in the beginning of the summer to get it working, but I think it still needs some tlc to do the job properly. It might also bee that the GLAMToolset project makes this tool obsolete and the willingness to fix it is very low. It made it a little easier to find images from Europeana and the uploads were maybe a little bit automatized, but in the long run I'm not sure it helped. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 12:35, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

GLAM dashboard

I have no idea why Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 in Sweden/Reports is not being populated. It could be a simple syntax problem in the request, or something odd about the source directories. I am busy with other projects and real life stuff, so can't really test out ideas at the moment, though it might be solved by re-writing the request lines. These seem to have been a boundary case and broke the script, hopefully it will now cope with these types of 'zero-returns'. --Fæ (talk) 16:14, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

MyNewsDesk

Did you ever get to talk to MyNewsDesk about the copyright status of images posted on their website following you saying this was happening back in 2012 per this discussion? Ww2censor (talk) 16:52, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Ww2censor: , and thanks for the reminder. They replied a while back that their legal team adviced them to change the default license to (C) All rights reserved and that they planned to implement that during the fall. When I tried to upload an image now it looked as if they had changed it also. I've asked if they have documented (blog post, newsletter or similar) the change, and proposed a common statement if not. I also asked if they would tell their costumers to make sure their content has the correct license, and we'll have to wait and see. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:15, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I was looking through some old posts and saw this one but also notice that within the last year quite a number of files have been uploaded making 1788 per this search and 1599 appear to be from their Swedish users. IIRC back in 2012 there were only about 125 images from MyNewsDesk. I wonder how that will affect those images which have supposedly been released with a free image. The precautionary principle should apply and they may all have to be deleted unless they are specifically known to be free. I wonder how long we will have to wait and see what they have implemented. Thanks for replying. Ww2censor (talk) 16:52, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I guess it might be a bit of Streisand effect involved in that the number of uploads are going up. I kind of agree on the precautionary principle, as it would be some kind of unintentional flickr MyNewsDesk washing of images otherwise. I'll ask the people at MyNewsDesk if they have an opinion on what to do with the images uploaded here. /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 14:18, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Earth winner

Hi Axel,

Leaving this message here since I saw you added a WLE tag to File:Tallmon 1.jpg, and because the uploader hasn't otherwise edited on Commons. It looks like that image has been hosted on Flickr for a couple years prior to being uploaded here, with "all rights reserved". That creates a licensing problem requiring COM:OTRS. Since the user who uploaded it has the same username as the Flickr account, this seems like a typical good faith matter (i.e. it's not obvious to the owner that an extra step is involved). Didn't know if you had contact with this user otherwise via WLE such that you could request emailed permission sent to OTRS? — Rhododendrites ^talk |  17:50, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Multilingual captions beta testing

The Structured Data on Commons team has begun beta testing of the first feature, multilingual file captions, and all community members are invited to test it out. Captions is based on designs discussed with the community[1][2] and the team is looking forward to hearing about testing. If all goes well during testing, captions will be turned on for Commons around the second week of January, 2019.

Multilingual captions are plain text fields that provide brief, easily translatable details of a file in a way that is easy to create, edit, and curate. Captions are added during the upload process using the UploadWizard, or they can be added directly on any file page on Commons. Adding captions in multiple languages is a simple process that requires only a few steps.

The details:

• There is a help page available on how to use multilingual file captions.
• Testing will take place on Beta Commons. If you don’t yet have an account set up there, you’ll need one.
• Beta Commons is a testbed, and not configured exactly like the real Commons site, so expect to see some discrepancies with user interface (UI) elements like search.
• Structured Data introduces the potential for many important page changes to happen at once, which could flood the recent changes list. Because of this, Enhanced Recent Changes is enabled as it currently is at Commons, but with some UI changes.
• Feedback and commentary on the file caption functionality are welcome and encouraged on the discussion page for this post.
• Some testing has already taken place and the team are aware of some issues. A list of known issues can be seen below.
• If you discover a bug/issue that is not covered in the known issues, please file a ticket on Phabricator and tag it with the “Multimedia” tag. Use this link to file a new task already tagged with "Multimedia."

Known issues:

• Search is not currently working on Beta Commons. Search is not needed for testing captions, but service should be restored soon.
• Language name display inconsistencies in multilingual file captions
• Language names for multilingual File captions can run into the caption value in the mobile view
• Deleting a caption field that has text that exceeds the limit does not re-enable the "publish" button
• "Edit" tab for past revisions should be "restore"
• When using the back button, recently added captions sometimes don't display in Chrome
• File Captions can't be edited on mobile browsers
• Wrong font weight for some language labels on SDC captions box

Thanks!

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 November or Thursday, 10 November 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:22, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - development update, March 2019

This text is also posted on the Structured Data hub talk page. You can reply there with questions, comments, or concerns.

A development update for the current work by the Structured Data on Commons team:

After the release of multilingual file captions, work began on getting depicts and other statements ready for release. These were originally scheduled for release in February and into March, however there are currently two major blockers to finishing this work (T215642, T217157). We will know more next week about when depicts and statements can likely be ready for testing and then release; until then I've tentatively updated the release schedule.

Once the depicts feature is ready for testing, it will take place in two stages on TestCommons. The first is checking the very basics; is the design comfortable, how does the simple workflow of adding/editing/removing statements work, and building up help and process pages from there. The second part is a more detailed test of depicts and other statements, checking the edge-case examples of using the features, bugs that did not come up during simple testing, etc. Additionally we'll be looking with the community for bugs in interaction with bots, gadgets, and other scripts once the features are live on Commons. Please let me know if you're interesting in helping test and fix these bugs if they show up upon release, it is really hard to find them in a test environment or, in some cases, bugs won't show up in a testing environment at all.

One new thing is definitely coming within the next few weeks, pending testing: the ability to search for captions. This is done using the inlabel keyword in search strings, and will be the first step in helping users find content that is specifically structured data. I'll post a notice when that feature is live and ready for use.

Thanks, let me know if you have questions about these plans. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:34, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - early depicts testing

The Structured Data on Commons development team has the very basic version of depicts statements available for early testing on Test-Commons. You can add very basic depicts statements to the file page by going into the new “Structured Data” tab located below the "Open in Media Viewer button." You can use the Latest Files link in the left side nav bar to select existing images, or use the UploadWizard to upload new ones to test with (although those images won’t actually show up on the site). The test site is not a fully functional replica of Commons, so there may be some overall problems in using the site, but you should be able to get a general idea of what using the feature is like.

Early next week I will call for broad, community-wide testing of the feature similar to what we did for Captions, with instructions for testing, known bugs, and a dedicated space to discuss the feature as well as a simple help page for using statements. Until then, you're welcome to post on the SDC talk page with what you might find while testing depicts.

Thanks in advance for trying it out, you'll be hearing more from me next week. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:59, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - testing qualifiers for depicts

As you might have seen, testing is underway for adding qualifiers to depicts statements. If you have not left feedback already, the Structured Data on Commons development team is very interested in hearing about your experience using qualifiers on the file page and in the UploadWizard. To get started you can visit Test-Commons and chose a random file to test out, or upload your own file to try out the UploadWizard. Questions, comments, and concerns can be left on the Structured data talk page and the team will address them as best as they can. Thank you for your time. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 19:08, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - computer-aided tagging

The development team is starting work on one of the last planned features for SDC v1.0, a lightweight tool to suggest depicts tags for images. I've published a project page for it, please have a look. I plan to share this page with everyone on Commons much more broadly in the coming days. The tool has been carefully designed to try to not increase any workload on Commons volunteers; for starters, it will be opt-in for auto-confirmed users only and will not generate any sort of backlog here on Commons. Additionally, the tool is highly privacy-minded for the contributors and publicly-minded for the third party being used, in this case Google. The implementation and usage notes contain more information about these and other potential concerns as a starting place. It's really important that the tool is implemented properly from the start, so feedback is welcome. Questions, comments, concerns are welcome on the talk page and I will get answers as quickly as possible as things come up. On the talk page you can also sign up to make sure you're a part of the feedback for designs and prototype testing. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17:57, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - modeling data

As you may have seen, there are community discussions underway on how to best model structured data on Commons.

Structured Data - computer-aided tagging designs

I've published a design consultation for the computer-aided tagging tool. Please look over the page and participate on the talk page. If you haven't read over the project page, it might be helpful to do so first. The tool will hopefully be ready by the end of this month (October 2019), so timely feedback is important. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 18:09, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:WikiGap

WikiGap has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Commons - Media Search

Greetings,

The Structured Data team is working on an alternative, image-focused prototype for media search on Commons. The prototype uses categories, structured data as well as wikitext from Commons, and Wikidata to find its results. The development team would like your feedback on the prototype, as they are looking to work to further enhance the search experience on Commons. If you have a moment, please look over the project page set up on Commons to find a link to the prototype and leave your feedback on the talk page. Thanks for your time, I'll be posting message similar to this one to other pages on Commons. The team is looking forward to reading what you think. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:47, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to join Wiki Loves Earth jury (local round)

Hi, Axel!

Thank you for your application for a jury member of Wiki loves Earth photo contest. Your experience and skills would bring a great value to the biggest international competition devoted to nature heritage, we would be happy to welcome you to the team!

We are creating a network of people willing to help evaluate photos from different countries. Currently, a jury member is needed to evaluate photos of WLE in Ireland. If you are willing to help this local team, I'll connect you with the organizer to discuss all the details and a timeline (this team will work on evaluation during August, and the deadline for submitting winning photos is September 1).

Please let us know if you have any questions. Looking forward to your feedback! Best, Anastasiia

Commons - Media Sarch, new feedback round

Greetings,

I'm following up on a message from earlier in the year about the prototype development for Special:MediaSearch. Based on community feedback, the Structured Data team has developed some new features for Special:MediaSearch and are seeking another round of comments and discussions about the tool. Commons:Structured_data/Media_search is updated with details about the new features plus some other development information, and feedback is welcome on Commons talk:Structured_data/Media_search. Media Search works in any language, so the team would especially appreciate input around support for languages other than English. I look forward to reading about what you think. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

Nu är det dags för Wiki Loves Monuments 2021!

Vinnarbilden i Wiki Loves Earth 2021!

Hej!

(For information in English, see Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in Sweden or other participating countries.)

Du får det här meddelandet då du tidigare har deltagit i de svenska deltävlingarna av Wiki Loves Monuments eller Wiki Loves Earth! För någon vecka sedan blev det klart vem som tog hem förstapriset i Wiki Loves Earth 2021 – stort grattis till Måns Hagberg och hans fotografi av reveln vid Vivesholms naturreservat! Alla vinnare kan du se här – tack alla deltagare för fina bidrag!

Den 1 september inleds 2021 års svenska deltävling av Wiki Loves Monuments, där det skulle vara väldigt roligt om du ville vara med och delta! Målet med Wiki Loves Monuments är att fotografera svenska kulturarvsmonument. De kategorier som ingår är byggnadsminnen, fornminnen, K-märkta fartyg och arbetslivsmuseer – och du är välkommen att bidra med bilder hela september.

Välkommen till tävlingen, och lycka till! /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 12:53, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Hög tid att ladda upp: Wiki Loves Earth 2022!

Förra årets vinnarbild i Wiki Loves Earth!

Hej,
(For information in English, see Wiki Loves Earth 2022 in Sweden or other participating countries.)

Du får det här meddelandet eftersom du tidigare har bidragit med bilder till de svenska deltävlingarna av Wiki Loves Earth eller Wiki Loves Monuments. Jag hoppas att du vill vara med i år också! Som vanligt ingår naturreservat och nationalparker, biosfärområden och naturminnen i tävlingen! Tävlingen började 1 maj, och pågår under hela maj månad. Om du har varit ute i världen och rest kan du även se om resorna sammanfaller med övriga internationella deltävlingar, och i så fall vara med och tävla även där. Även om fortsatt försiktighet är att rekommendera går det bra att ge sig ut på fotosafari och fotografera naturen i ditt närområde – eller varför inte damma av fotoalbumen och tävla med bilder du har tagit tidigare?

Välkommen till tävlingen, och lycka till! /Axel Pettersson (WMSE) (talk) 13:41, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Äntligen maj: Wiki Loves Earth 2023!

Förra årets vinnarbild i Wiki Loves Earth!

Hej,
(For information in English, see Wiki Loves Earth 2023 in Sweden or other participating countries.)

Du får det här meddelandet eftersom du tidigare har bidragit med bilder till de svenska deltävlingarna av Wiki Loves Earth eller Wiki Loves Monuments. Jag hoppas att du vill vara med i år också! Som vanligt ingår naturreservat och nationalparker, biosfärområden och naturminnen i tävlingen! Nytt för i år är att vi utöver bästa foto även belönar fotograferande av tidigare ofotograferade objekt samt bästa bildserie om minst tio fotografier av samma objekt. Tävlingen börjar 1 maj, och pågår under hela maj månad. Om du har varit ute i världen och rest kan du även se om resorna sammanfaller med övriga internationella deltävlingar, och i så fall vara med och tävla även där. Expeditioner, fotosafari eller en helt vanlig promenad? Via en smidig karta som visar ditt närområde hittar du bra ställen att besöka – eller varför inte damma av fotoalbumen och tävla med bilder du har tagit tidigare?

Wiki Loves Monuments question

Hi Axel, I hope you can help me with something. For the Wiki Loves Monuments banner I miss a translation of "Learn more" in Northern Sami. If this text is not logic in your language, use then instead a translation of "More information". Can you provide me a translation in Northern Sami or ask anyone to provide this? Thanks! Romaine (talk) 10:35, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Please comment

Hi Axel Pettersson, could you please comment on Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with insource:/mynewsdesk.com.se.atg/, did you reach the photographer? Regards, Ellywa (talk) 00:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
