OTRS for Kate Bornstein

[edit]
the image

If you can it would be helpful for you to send an OTRS email to WikiCommons proofing that you are the copyright holder of Kate Bornstein. The email template you need to fill out and the email to sent it to, is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Email_templates This would be helpful to make sure the images never get deleted. — Kbq430 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kbq430 (talk • contribs) 05:17, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kbq430: Can you say more about why you think this is appropriate? Human OTRS attention is a scarce resource which applies to less than 1 in 10,000 images which users upload. While anyone should use OTRS to settle confusion, also it should not be used for typical uploads. Can you say something about why you think I should call this attention to my uploads, or this particular upload? It should be obvious that I am a Wikimedia Commons contributor in good standing. Of course I took the picture in person myself. Why do you think anyone would question this? Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:47, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think KBQ430 is saying that since its the only picture we have it may be helpful. Also I've seen a lot of good pictures be deleted even when copyright is fairly clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMMcMaster (talk • contribs) 23:39, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@MMMcMaster and Kbq430: I have a bias in that I have been here for ~10 years and know the rules, but I have never seen a case when anyone deleted a photo without a good reason. I prefer to avoid requesting extra protection or setting the precedent that photos need to have additional human attention to be safe. I trust the system because I have only seen it follow the rules.
If you are still concerned then have you considered contacting Kate? Ask her to donate a promo picture and upload it. If you are a fan of anyone else you can write them too. Everyone wants someone to get their picture into Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia. My picture is not the best quality, but it has still been the most popular one of Kate in circulation since 2010 and everyone who does a Google search for Kate sees it. Maybe she would like to choose herself.
She needs the media support she has a show on Broadway right now so this is urgent. Can you negotiate this? Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:26, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2017 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in R2.

Dear Bluerasberry,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth 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 (2017) 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. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.

Round 2 will end on 22 July 2018, 23:59 UTC.

What I've been doing with images from University of Washington Library

[edit]

As I mentioned in the meeting: User:BMacZeroBot uploaded a ton of public domain material from the University of Washington Library to Commons. I probably have not found all of it; much of it was initially placed in Category:Seattle, Category:Images from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Collection to check, and/or Category:Images from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company Photographs Collection to check. I've been going through roughly a thousand of these, categorizing them (much) better, sometimes improving descriptions, often adding image notes. There are still at least another thousand or two remaining to be done.

There have been a remarkable number of errors in the descriptions pulled in from the University of Washington Library. I would say that so far I've found that among the Asahel Curtis collection, about one in five has a reasonably serious error. I've corrected these and also, in each case, informed the library. The library has been inconsistent about fixing the data for the source version (maybe 50%?), but of course their followup is beyond my control.

A few good examples of what I've done:

Jmabel ! talk 05:20, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel: FYI all of the UWash images the bot uploads end up in one of the subcategories of Category:Photographs by University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections. Most of those have their own child check category. I probably should have mentioned that to you - sorry! BMacZero (talk) 05:36, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

UVA photos

[edit]

Hi Bluerasberry, I saw your message that you are doing Wikimedia work at UVA. Do you attend basketball games there? There are several men's basketball coaches that you will see in person this year whose articles have no photo. The most notable one is probably en:Buzz Williams (Virginia Tech). We are also missing photos of en:Tony Shaver (William & Mary) and en:Dan D'Antoni (Marshall). (en:Jim Christian of BC is also missing a photo, but UVA only plays a road game there.) If you have a suitable camera or know someone who does, it would be greatly appreciated. --B (talk) 12:39, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@B: Sports is part of what I am supposed to do here and photo collection is an obvious place to start.
I have regular meetings with communications and executive staff here and I am making the case for them to give me photos to put on wiki. I cannot promise a certain turnaround, and summer 2019 is the most likely time for this to advance. The only sustainable way forward is for UVA and every other school to regularly share photos for wiki. It is in everyone's interest and this is what I tell them. I can only promise to post an update in ~6 months. I will talk this over with others at meta:Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:44, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I wish schools would be more open with licensing their content, but most of them seem to view it as giving up control over something in their fiefdom ... and a lot of them are litigious on top of that. It always drives me crazy when they claim copyright over everything they put their hands on, even things that are obviously public domain (pre-1923 newspapers, old yearbooks with no copyright notice, etc). --B (talk) 14:03, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@B: I deal with that here. Word is that every organization that hires a Wikimedian then recoils in horror at the prospect of putting content on Wikimedia. Change takes time. The challenges are social not technical. It gets easier with every precedent, though, and I try to do documentation also. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:06, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Loves Love help needed

[edit]

Hello Bluerasberry, You endorsed the Wiki Loves Love photo contest on Meta. This photo contest starts on 1 February. To be able to make the photo contest more accessible and available to more people in the world, it needs translations of the upload wizard, templates and pages to your local language. Please help us! Go to Commons:Wiki Loves Love 2019/Translations to see how needs to be translated. (In some languages there are maybe already some translations available.) Thanks in advance!!

20xx in public domain

[edit]

Yo, BR, for reasons I am not sure of, a discussion has wound up on my Wikipedi talkpage concerning the 20xx in public domain. I must admit that I took some time to get at what the person was talking about, and I think I have found a way to resolve matters using such Wiki pages as s:Author:Claude McKay which provides info a bout the relevant person. When I checked the page for ru:s:Исаак Эммануилович Бабель, I discovered that the copyright for Issak Babel had been held over for several years on account of his being a victim of Stalinist terror.

I notice that whilst wikisource has a statement about the author and copyright, there have not seen an equivalent on the creator pages of Commons. Do you think this would be a good idea? I have no idea about how Lua works and perhaps this a matter which would be better handled on wikidata. Leutha (talk) 18:55, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Art + Feminism meetups

[edit]

Hi BR, what is the status of meetup Friday? is it at Fine Arts Library [1], or UVA Music Library [2] or both? i feel a road trip coming on, but would like to know where to arrive. Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 14:24, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Slowking4: I would love to see you if you are coming. I plan to go! This is a UVA tradition which predates me and I actually have had no part in its organization. I do not know what to expect except that it has had its own community following for some years and that librarians here already organize wiki events.
I understand this is in the music library. I have never been to that building.
If you ask anything particular then I might have an answer, but this will be new to me as well! If I see you then great, if you pass this time then I will be in DC in May. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:45, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Smart Servier Images

[edit]

Dear Bluerasberry,
I am writing to you to inform about the recent developments regarding moving Smart-Servier Images to Wikimedia Commons. because you expressed interest in helping with the project. User:OlafJanssen has moved a new set of images from 'Bones category'. All images can be found on the category page here. I am involved in adding structured data and using the images on Wikipedia and Wikidata. Please feel free to join me in doing this if you are interested. The titles of the images are pretty straightforward, so it should be quite easy to uptake these images to Wikimedia projects. If you'd like to be updated when Olaf uploads the next batch of images, I shall be happy to do so. The current image use stats can be found here. Please let me know your suggestions about the image use, if you have the time for it. Thanks in advance, --Netha Hussain (talk) 16:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Netha Hussain: I reported the collection at
For the other engagement I will remember the collection as an example to showcase and to present to the crowd to sort. I am unable to do much more myself right now. Thanks for this. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading WebM video to Commons

[edit]

Hi Blue Raspberry. I've recently been investigating ways of getting video onto Commons and saw the Maria Hernandez park video you uploaded to the CheckIn page. Would you share your workflow for this? I see the video is from YouTube, and as video2commons is not currently working, I'm interested to know how Wikimedians are getting their AV material onto Commons. I've been experimenting with workflows at Help:Converting_video but they are very technical and can be very slow also. Cheers! Quilt Phase (talk) 22:20, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Next Commons Photographers meeting featuring large format photographer Ben Horne

[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm happy to invite you to our next virtual meeting on Saturday, March 20, at the usual time. As I mentioned during our last get-together, I'd like to invite external guests every now and then, given that it seems good to expand our view and learn something from someone outside our community.

Our first external guest, Ben Horne, will talk about large format wilderness photography, followed by a question-and-answer session. Ben is maybe one of best known contemporary large format photographers in the United States. On his excursions to national parks, he shoots 8×10 film and talks about his adventures on his YouTube channel which has attracted more than 48,000 followers so far. He is YouTube's first, and longest active landscape photography vlogger and I'm thrilled that he has agreed to join our next meeting and talk about his experiences.

If you're interested in joining this meeting, please sign up on the page below:

Also, don't forget to post your question(s) prior to the meeting on the following page in order to ensure a good and fruitful question-and-answer session:

I'm very much looking forward to this event and I hope you'll be able to join.

All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 22:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder: Commons Photographers meeting tomorrow

[edit]

Just a quick reminder: the meeting with large format-photographer Ben Horne will happen tomorrow, Saturday, March 20.

Uploading to Vimeo in order to upload to commons

[edit]

Hello Bluerasberry

4 years ago you added this section to Help:Converting video, as you proposed on the talk page.

I would like to ask for the rationale of the intermediate upload to Vimeo. This is something others wondered as well. My guess is that it might not have supported direct uploads at that time, but since now it is possible to perform a direct upload to video2commons, I think the upload-to-Vimeo step can be removed?

Platonides (talk) 01:05, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Platonides: Yes exactly, I am unaware of a direct upload option. If there is one now then the upload to Vimeo step is unnecessary. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:58, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
