2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Denkmäler/Kategorisierung

Hallo Bardenoki,

ich habe gesehen, dass Du bei vielen Dateien die Kategorie Cultural heritage monuments hinzufügst. Dateien mit einer Denkmalvorlage werden automatisch in der jeweiligen Ortskategorie als Denkmal eingetragen. Beispiel hierfür ist diese Grabstätte in Iserlohn. Die Denkmal-Vorlage findest Du hier. Da nicht jeder weiß, dass ein Grabstein denkmalgeschützt ist, wurde der Grabstein auch noch in der allgemeinen Kategorie Iserlohn belassen. Gruß --Asio 21:54, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Asio,

danke für den Hinweis. jetzt versteht ich auch, woher die Kategorie Cultural heritage monuments... kommt, obwohl sie nicht explizit eingetragen ist. Allerdings stellt sich mir dann die Frage, ob man durch die zusätzliche Angabe der Kategorie Iserlohn nicht bei COM:OVERCAT landet, da Iserlohn schon in Culutural heriatage monuments in Iserlohn enthalten ist. Gruß Bardenoki (talk) 07:48, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Hallo Bardenoki, Du hast recht. In Iserlohn gehört es nicht nochmal rein. Das obige Beispielbild ist auch in der Kategorie Friedhof und wird somit gefunden. Gruß --Asio 22:09, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Category:Cornelis Steenbergh and Categories about Medemblik

Dear Bardenoki,

I think you made a mistake by deleting Category:Cornelis Steenbergh on a number of photographs by CS and putting whole categories about Medemblik in Category:Cornelis Steenbergh. Why?

1. single photographs made by CS must logically be in Category:Cornelis Steenbergh, even when a house in Medemblik is depicted. Otherwise, the Category:Cornelis Steenbergh would not be complete.
2. a category with photo's by various photographers cannot logically be a subcategory in the Category:Cornelis Steenbergh. Otherwise, any category containing just 1 photo by CS would be a subcategory of Category:Cornelis Steenbergh.

I hope that you agree with me changing the categories back. Kind regards, Hansmuller (talk) 11:03, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello Hansmuller,

of course your are right. Sorry, that was my mistake. I guess I thought that "Cornelis Steenberg" was the architect. I will take care in future on this. Thanks for changing the categories and pictures back. Regards, Bardenoki (talk) 11:26, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Amazing work

Hello Bardenoki,

I want to thank you for all your amazing work with the categorization of the Rijksmonumenten. Thanks!

Mvg, Basvb (talk) 21:35, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Basvb,

thanks a lot. It's something like a treasure hunt ;O) Kind regards Bardenoki (talk) 16:02, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Yesterday I've uploaded around 4000 images of mills. The images can be found in Category:Mills in the Netherlands. I saw that you were categorizing some already, which is wonderful. I found that the easiest way to categorize those is to go to the Rijksmonumenten in XXX category, and move them with cat-a-lot to their relevant mill (which is mostly mentioned in the first line). I leave them in Category:Mills in the Netherlands because it is possible to remove them from this category using "perform batch task" (I can do this in 10 minutes for the whole category (see the regex if you're familiar with the perform batch task)). Mvg, Basvb (talk) 12:58, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Basvb, great! I will help to categorize the mills. A short holiday from possible rijksmonumenten in Zierikzee ;O) Realy great, especially because they are all tagged with their monument id. So it is easy to find the category for most of the mills. In stead of working in teh category "Rijksmonumenten in XXX" I prefer to search for (e.g.) "12345 rijksmonumenten mills". This should deliver all the new pictures and the category. Then I will add the category by cat-a-lot. Finally I open all the new pictures and remove the rijksmonumentaten category and the mill in NL category. Maybe there is a more efficient way do the last step, but I find it hard to identify a mill only by its picture ("working in Rijksmonumenten in XXX") and I would like to start in "Mills in the Netherlands" as the category containing all the mills that have to be categorized, so I have to remove the "Mills in ..." category too. Regards, Norbert Bardenoki (talk) 17:11, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bardenoki, nice! I think your way is better for accuracy. Mvg, Basvb (talk) 21:03, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Removing historical images

Bardenoki, I have seen that you removed the Category:Historical images of Arnhem in File:Arnhem willemsplein 1963.jpg. This is a photo of (a part of) the Willemsplein in 1963. The category Historical images specifies clearly that historical means more than about 40 years old. 2015-1963= 52 years. That the photo is in colour was special in that time as black and white was the usual type of photo. I reverted your change. Regards, Wouter (talk) 20:54, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello Wouter, yes I saw that you reverted my edit. Ok, if you think so. Let me explain why I removed the category: there are tons of "historical images" of Arnhem in the sense, that they are older than 40 years. Most of the RCE pictures fulfill this criterion. See e.g. category Category:Possible Rijksmonumenten in Arnhem of not identified "possible rijksmonumenten". Or all the other images showing rijksmonumenten taken by RCE. Would you like to categorize all of those images as "historical images"? For me the image was "only" one of all those old pictures. But I agree that a colour picture of 1963 is something special. Kind regards, Bardenoki (talk) 21:09, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Bots

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

• The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary.
• Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar

I see that you're still going strong identifying thousands of images of Rijksmonumenten a week. I recently took a look again at Category:Possible Rijksmonumenten and saw that it was quite a bit more empty. A few days ago I found an easy way to count the number of Possible Rijksmonumenten using this search. 4 days ago it was at 78.900 now it is at 77.800. Sadly I did not find this out much earlier, but I believe we started with between 200 and 300.000. The fact that lowering this number for the most part has been done by you and Rudolphous is truly amazing. I saw that the RCE currently lists 750.000 images at their site. Time for me to upload some more soon? Basvb (talk) 21:06, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Bas, thank you for the honour! It is a pleasure for me to work on this topic :O) And there is still work for some years left. Concerning a new upload: Do whatever you want. Kind regards, Norbert. Bardenoki (talk) 19:30, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

About the rename of File:Haarlemmerdijk 21.jpg

Hi Bardenoki,

I have checked your request to change the name of that file, File:Haarlemmerdijk 21.jpg, to Haarlemmerdijk 25.jpg, and I have doubts with which is the correct name. Checking the monument information] I have read Haarlemmerdijk 23B 1013 KA te Amsterdam, Amsterdam (NH). I don't know what it's the correct but, could you confirm the correct name? Haarlemmerdijk 25.jpg or Haarlemmerdijk 23B.jpg?

Thanks in advance and excuse me for the inconvenience.

Regards, Ivanhercaz | Discusión 18:34, 2 October 2016 (UTC) Please, if you reply me in your talk page, {{Ping}} me.

Hi Ivanhercaz, you may be right (you may be wrong). It is a little bit confusing here. The detailed monument information says 23B and 25B. But if you look to the house left of it you have the same house numbers. On Street View you can see that the house on the right side is 27, on the left side we have 21, 25a, 23 a-e (the house under discussion itself has no number...).

To be in line with the monument register rename it to 23B (.. but there are two houses listed under this address in the monument register...). No 21 is definitely false. Regards Bardenoki (talk) 19:03, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ivanhercaz: Please check Bardenoki (talk) 19:07, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Okay, yes it is a bit confusing. Well, no problem. Besides, I have checked that Wieralee has made the change, so no problem. Thank you for the clarification Bardenoki, and again, excuse me the inconvenience. Regards, Ivanhercaz | Discusión 19:13, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

@Ivanhercaz: I have to say "Thank You". You are the one who helped me ;O) Regards Bardenoki (talk) 19:17, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

subcat & monument id's

Hi Bardenoki,

You recently reverted my edit on the Algemene Begraafplaats Almelo. The begraafplaats is a monument complex, which has been identified as such - which already includes the individual monuments which are also identified. I removed the individual monument identifier, because this particular one also has a subcategory (the others don't) where it has also been identified. I don't see why it would be helpful to identify the monuments once the complex has been identified - although I can't really object when there are no better suitable categories (such as in this case).

A specific problem this causes, is that with semi-automated category addition, this results in a clash: it recognizes two commons categories that should contain images of that monument. Could we either only identify on the most suitable category, or identify without using the template? Or do you perhaps have a better solution in mind?

Thanks for your efforts and thinking along! Effeietsanders (talk) 16:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Effeietsanders, in my opinion all monument ids should be listed in case of a monument complex (of course, sometimes there may be too much ids). Leaving out one or more ids could be misinterpreted in the way that the complex only has these "limited" range of monuments. And it would be good if the template is used because we directly get the link to the RCE description. That is the reason why I reverted your edit. On the other hand, if we have a separate category for a single monument the template with the id should be present too (link, ...).

Usually this would work but as you mentioned there occur problems with the semi-automated category addition in the monument lists of the Dutch Wikipedia. I don't know anything about the mechanism of the semi-automated category addition but would it be a possibility to

1. temporary remove the template from the complex category in case of duplicates and restore it after the category additions has been done. I guess once the job has been done there are no further problems with the duplicates
2. or is it possible to adapt the mechanism to use the "deapest" category in case of duplicates (hoping that there are no cirles)

I do not really know what is the best way to handle the problem. Is it ok for you if I don't use the template in the complex category when I create such category (only list the monument id) in case of subcats with monument ids. But I will mark this complex categories (for me) and restore the template after I have seen that the subcat has been added to the monument lists?

You do a great job adding the commonscat links to the monument lists. Regards Bardenoki (talk) 09:15, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for thinking along! I'm afraid that temporary solutions won't cut it: the suggestion will pop up any time I run the tool through the page, which is every time that some commonscat is added/changed for a monument on the list.

Could you explain why you think that mentioning all individual monument ID's is important? The complex covers in the Dutch definition a combination of unique monuments - so basically is equivalent to listing them.

Adapting the mechanism of the tool would definitely be the best option - I'm using AddCommonsCatLinks from Dudemanfellabra, but unfortunately it seems he's inactive since July.

I don't see an obvious perfect solution either. The situation is not unworkable on my end - it requires a bunch more clicking and paying close attention, so it's mostly annoying. Effeietsanders (talk) 19:45, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

If we present a list of ids if should be complete. Otherwise a reader may interpret the (incomplete) list as 'complete' but it isn't. This may be misleading (Yes, he can follow the monumentcomplex link to the RCE and see the correct list, but he will not do that because he has an alleged reference here).

Listing the ids without the template looks very poor and some users will "correct" this "error" in the future. For sure. So that seems to be no good idea. Regards Bardenoki (talk) 16:30, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Commons Conference project

Hello Bardenoki,

I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around. But since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.

Foto's die ik recent gemaakt heb in Friesland

Hallo Bardenoki, Allereerst heel hartelijk bedankt voor het categoriseren van de foto's die ik recent gemaakt heb in Friesland; er komt echter nog veel meer binnenkort (zie mijn commons userpage). De meeste foto's die ik maak nomineer ik ook voor Q1; ik weet dat het voor een succesvolle nominatie ook van belang is dat de foto's goed gecategoriseerd zijn, maar ik kan natuurlijk niet alles tegelijk. Nogmaals hartelijk bedankt want je neemt toch wel wat werk van mij uit handen. --Michielverbeek (talk) 12:36, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Michielverbeek, it is a pleasure to me if I can help. If I can do more to support you, please let me know. I think it is a great job that all the people are doing by documenting the monuments of the Netherlands. Especially the growing number of recent pictures of the gemeentelijke monumenten helps so much to identify and categories buildings on the old pictures of the RCE. We are all working together on the same project. Regards Bardenoki (talk) 14:21, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Please do not change a meaningful category to a not so relevant category

Hello, I have seen that you changed in File:Apeldoorn Paleis het Loo B.jpg the category "Het Loo Palace" in two steps to "Fountains in Apeldoorn". This is an image of the Loo Palace and not just a fountain in Apeldoorn. In the distance there is a fountain but if you want to categorise that as well, it should be "Fountains of Het Loo Palace". Regards, Wouter (talk) 07:34, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, oh, sorry. That was a mistake. I intended to use Category:Fountains of Het Loo Palace instead. I will correct this for the other pictures. Regards Bardenoki (talk)

Thanks. I have indeed seen in Category:Fountains in Apeldoorn many images of the "Fountains of Het Loo Palace". Wouter (talk) 07:49, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Error in categorization?

Hi!
Why did you categorize this file into the (nonexistent) "6AutoRAI 1963" category although the description gives the file a 1966 date? Shouldn't this picture be gathered with the other pictures taken during the 1966 AutoRAI? Regards. -- BarnCas (talk) 20:59, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi BarnCas, of course your are right. 'Category' "6AutoRAI 1963" must be a typo or something like that. I updated the categories of the file (and 3 other files). Thanks for the hint. Regards Bardenoki (talk) 21:09, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for this quick correction. For the record, the file is now also as categorized as "Volvo N84". I categorized it as a "Volvo Brage/Starke/Raske" at first, but on second thought, as the N84 was "unveiled" in 1965 (in fact, it was mainly just the same 1954+ truck with a bigger engine), such a truck in a 1966 motor show is most probably the last available version. Tschüss! -- BarnCas (talk) 22:35, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi XRay, ja, das ist mühselig, da hast du sicherlich recht. Cat-a-lot kenne ich natürlich und nutze es auch, wo es möglich ist. Das Problem ist, dass die Suche nach Jahren nur selten "eindeutig ist". Z.B. werden deine Bilder aus Winterswijk aus 2014 auch bei einer Suche nach 2015 gefunden. Wenn ich die alle mit Cat-a-lot rübergeschoben hätte, wäre das Essig. Und nicht alle Bilder, gerade alte aus NL, sind so schön strukturiert und haben ein korrektes Datum (1940-1950) oder EXIF-Daten etc. Da muss man eh reinschauen oder man macht Mist.

Hi @Lotje: , I removed it from category "Photographs by Eric Koch", because it is now in a subcategory "Photographs by Eric Koch in Amsterdam". Why?

Firstly, the ANEFO photographers' categories have been split into many sub-categories by location and year in the last few months using the ANEFO template. I'm not so happy with this because the information is shifted from the objects themselves to the photographers. But ok with this.

The more important reason for moving the pictures into the subcategories is that I am in the process of adding categories (place, year, people, ..) for pictures taken in Amsterdam. And it is more practical to work with 2500 pictures of Eric Koch than with 25000 in his "main category". Regards Bardenoki (talk) 16:02, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Bardenoki. Seems you have a lot of work to come... 25000... Lotje (talk) 16:04, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Category:1620 newspapers

Hi! I don't really understand how this template works. Could you fix it for me? Thanks, Vincent Steenberg (talk) 17:17, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I don't know how it really works either. So far I have taken an existing year, copied it and adjusted it. I created the category "1620s newspapers", there was already something from 1820 ;O). Regards Bardenoki (talk) 19:29, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

NYMA Watertoren & De Oversteek

Hello Bardenoki. I have a question regarding this categorization. Do yo remember your motive for it? I know the buildings are situated close to each other, but thematically they can be seen as completely separate phenomenons. Also, it's the construction of De Oversteek that you added, not the bridge itself. That makes me even more curious. Best regards, Apdency (talk) 13:46, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi Apdency, I don't remember exactly why, but I think it was done by mistake. Maybe I took the categories of this image (or another of the series). Thanks for the hint. I will remove the cat from the category, and add it to the images of Havang(nl) again. Regards Bardenoki (talk) 15:35, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Ah, allright, thanks for your reply & action! Apdency (talk) 16:29, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Vielen herzlichsten Dank 🍸🥰

Ich danke dir vielmals für das Feinkategorisierung meiner immensen Fotoausbeute die ich aus Antwerpen, Gent und Brügge mit nach Hause genommen hatte. Herzliche Grüße Ricardalovesmonuments (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Guten Abend, du scheinst jetzt mit meinen Gent-Bildern durch zu sein. Hast du die Bilder von Brügge und Antwerpen auch ins Auge gefasst? Herzliche Grüße und vielen Dank wenn du die aufwendige und langwierige Arbeit in Angriff nehmen könntest, Ricardalovesmonuments (talk) 18:56, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Übrigens im kommenden Mai geht's in den 3 Städten an 8-9 Tagen weiter, da ich letztes Jahr mit meinem Besichtigungsprogramm nicht fertig geworden bin. Grüße --Ricardalovesmonuments (talk) 19:05, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, eigentlich war/bin ich dabei, die Bilder der Baudenkmale in Gent etwas zu strukturieren. Und da waren natürlich deine sehr schönen Bilder auch immer dabei. Mal sehen, vielleicht komme ich irgendwann auch zu Brügge oder Antwerpen. Gruß Bardenoki (talk) 19:03, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Watercraft...

Vielen Dank für deine Änderungen bzgl. der Watercraft-Kategorien. Du warst einen Hauch schneller. :-) Zufällig hatte ich den Fehler heute früh bemerkt. Er stand zur Behebung für morgen an. So ist er halt schneller raus. --XRay 💬 18:35, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi XRay, war schon Zufall, aber wenn mir so etwas begegnet, dann mache ich das direkt, sonst fällt das hinten über... Schöne Bilder von Walcheren, muss ich auch mal wieder hin. Gruß Bardenoki (talk) 19:12, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Danke. Walcheren ist schon schön. Das nächste Mal nehme ich lieber das Fahrrad mit. Ich wollte nur noch erwähnen, warum ich es nicht sofort gemacht habe. Solche Kategorien setze ich automatisiert, per Bot. Ich muss erst die Konfiguration meines Bots ändern, sonst sind die Kategorien morgen wieder da. --XRay 💬 19:26, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Building address & Object location templates in Dutch categories

Hi Bardenoki, thanks for all your work here. In 2014 you did a great job adding Building address & Object location - templates to numerous categories, see for example here and here in november 2014. Now I guess these were part of your ungoing effort around those times, where in over two years time you made 400.000+ contrubtions, see here.

Now in the last year or so, I found myself replacing these templates by a more general introduction. It seems to me that information from those two templates have become redundant with the introduction of the wikidata-template. Now I don't oppose redundancy, and even think this could be useful. I do think these templates need some skills to read. A general audience is better served with a small introduction in plane text.

Now I wonder if you have similar ideas or not, and considered removing more or all of those Building address & Object location - templates? -- Mdd (talk) 13:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Mdd, you're right of course. The address data and the object location are superfluous if the infobox is also available and well maintained. The redundant data can certainly be removed (although I don't know exactly what effect this might have on the search: is the data in the info box also taken into account?)

What do you think about the "Rijksmonument" template? This is actually also covered by the infobox, but is not very present. And the link to the "Rijksmonumentenregister" is often interesting. Would you remove this template too?

It would be a lot of work. A search via the 3 templates and under categories returns approx. 38000 hits. Maybe I can take over some of it, but I can't tell you when that will be. Regards Bardenoki (talk)

Thanks for this detailed response. There might be a "relatively simple" solution for both ours efforts if eventually the Wikidata-infobox would generate an automatic general intro; such as the Italian Wikipedia is doing all ready for some time/years. I guess a bot could remove all of those 3 templates in those 10.000+ cats.

Yet, this would require some common consensus first about the why, how and when. For now some small test cases could be started (without the bot). Even so you could say that some small test cases are already on there way for some years with efforts similar to mine adding similar general introductions to cats. These efforts could be evaluated first.

The questions you rise about the search function and the "Rijksmonumentenregister" are interesting. Now I don't know about the first thing, but I do think at the moment the link to the "Rijksmonumentenregister" in the wikidata-infobox is underdeveloped right now. A more prominent place is preferable due to the prominent information the RCE is supplying and (even more important) maintaining/keeping up to date.

These are some of my ideas which have evolved since I raised the question two weeks ago. I came to realize that not only your tremendous effort but also these specific efforts of mine in the past years will soon become superfluous...!? New challenges lie in guiding these efforts. -- Mdd (talk) 12:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
