colocação de imagem

Caro Darwin Estou de volta outra vez e novamente pedindo socorro. Estou tentando carregar um arquivo de imagem ( imagem que está na minha familia ha mais de 100 anos e atualmente em minha posse pessoal), mas na hora de finalizar diz que o mesmo ja foi excluido anteriormente ( O que de fato ocorreu nao sei porque), pede para que eu mude a descrição do arquivo, o que nao posso fazer, pois nao posso mudar o nome da pessoa da foto. Como faço para carrega-la novamente, até porque tenho + ou - 13 imagens em situação semelhante, para + ou - nove paginas que redigi. Consegui até carregar uma outra imagem como teste ( um gato) entao sei que estou fazendo a operação da maneira correta. segue o nome de um dos arquivos que constam como eliminados anteriormente.120px|right|thumb|Barão de Cabo Verde Obrigado Capeto47 (talk) 01:06, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

colocação de imagens

Caro Darwin, a sua interferencia foi de grande valia, pois conseguimos colocar as imagens consoante suas orientações. Informo a seguir os links das paginas carregadas hoje (amanhã carregaremos outras), solicitando a sua gestão para que elas sejam mantidas e não apagadas. Somos muito, muito gratos pela sua preciosa ajuda. http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francisco_Navarro_de_Morais_Sales#Biografia, http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu%C3%ADs_Ant%C3%B4nio_de_Morais_Navarro, http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%A1vio_de_Queir%C3%B3s.

Alo Darwin, por gentileza, é possivel, por aí, voce colocar a imagem do Brasão na mesma dimensão das demais da pagina http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lu%C3%ADs_Ant%C3%B4nio_de_Morais_Navarro#Biografia? Obrigado Capeto47 (talk) 14:47, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Uma ideia: para o trabalho que, solicitamente, voce fara com as imagens que carreguei, para "adapta-las às normas do Commons", uma das maneiras de respeitar a verificabilidade, facilitando, de certa forma, a sua analise, é cotejar as datas de nascimento e morte dos fotografados (constantes na propria pagina da Wikipedia), com as datas mencionadas no questionario de carregamento. Obrigado Capeto47 (talk) 00:46, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Ayuda con traducción

¡Hola DarwIn! ya va siendo hora de que se cree una categoría propia para los "montes flordelisados" en català "mont floronat", que es esta figura: File:Escut de Mont-roig del Camp.svg formada por la suma de un monte y una flor de lis. A ver si puedes ayudarme con la traducción del término para crear la categoría, que sería una subcategoría de "fleur-de-lis in heraldry" y "Mountains in heraldry". Creo que debería ser "Mountains flory in heraldry". ¡Saludos y grácias! --Xavigivax (talk) 14:43, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Xavigivax! I apologize for taking so long to answer this. I've actually researched it back when you posted the message, but forgot to answer you. I couldn't came up with any English native term for that. However, we may tentatively create something as "mounts fleury" or "mounts fleurie", I've seen people have been using "mounts vert" for the green mountains in heraldry, therefore it seems like an obvious designation for that particular charge.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 22:50, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Se lo preguntaré a un experto heraldista americano, a ver si me dice el término correcto en inglés, o el que el crea. Te digo algo. --Xavigivax (talk) 15:11, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

La respuesta ha sido esta:

That's an interesting charge. I think it may be unique to Spanish heraldry. Anyway, to answer your question it would be blazoned a "mount floriated" or as a "mount flory". In English heraldry anything that terminates in a fleur-de-lis or is decorated by a fleur-de-lis issuing from it may be blazoned as "flory".

vote change?

hello, was curious why you had changed your vote (without commenting) on the t-shirt thing? Lx 121 (talk) 02:30, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I changed it because I didn't felt comfortable defending the keeping of stuff which is obviously spam, and with some legitimate copyright concerns. However, I don't care enough about it, nor I believe those copyright concerns are so urgent that I would actually support the deletion, so I've simply withdrawn my keep vote. I really had nothing to say, thus I just struck it.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 03:25, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Imagens da Associação Portuguesa de Plantas Carnívoras

Boa tarde DarwIn,

Estou a contacta-lo pois como se deve lembrar alertou-me para duas imagens inseridas por mim, sem ter enviado permissão. Desde já lhe agradeço por me ter chamado a atenção ao mesmo.

A questão que se coloca agora é que já enviei o email com a permissão no dia 04-06-2011 e ainda não retiraram o aviso de apagamento. Até enviei com o email Geral da Associação para evitar confusões. Agradeço que caso esteja algo mal me avise para retificar ou em caso de estar tudo bem que retifique a situação.

Muito obrigado pelo tempo despendido.

Os meus cumprimentos, Sérgio Amorim

Mudança de licença desta imagem[1]

Caro DarwIn, eu li a página de discussão [2] e pelos vistos criei uma grande confusão ao mudar a licença, peço imensa desculpa, faça as correções necessárias, eu só queria proteger algumas das minhas imagens que estão ou podem vir a ser usadas comercialmente em livros, algo que eu não quero sem a minha autorização e acordo, por isso mudei a "licença para não comercial". Muito atenciosamente Henrique Matos (talk) 21:34, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Obrigada.

Olá DarwIn,

Estranhamente não estão aqui muitas mensagens de agradecimento. Espero que seja por estar a escrever no local errado e não porque ninguém lhe agradece depois do trabalho estar feito. Vou ter mais cuidado quando colocar mais imagens. Imagens é uma importante parte dos temas. Agora é só perceber bem como isto funciona.

Sobre a página da Associação ainda não percebi o que é preciso. Essa falta de notoriedade. Já li tudo o que aconselham diversas vezes e mesmo assim passa-me ao lado. Parece-me que estou a ler uma carta ao Presidente da República para ir à casa de banho. Toda formal e ninguém percebe nada. Bem mas isso não interessa pois resolve-se tudo!

Por acaso já ando na Wikipédia à muitos anos, mas ficava-me pela inglesa. Vamos la ver se pelo menos ajudamos a tapar a lacuna das plantas carnívoras na Wikipédia portuguesa.

Mas muito obrigado pelo tempo gasto com as minhas imagens. Prometo ter mais atenção para a próxima vez.

Os meus cumprimentos, Sérgio Amorim

Hey!

Boas! Claro que sim, seria fenomenal se a DRAC alinhasse connosco. Conseguimos obter a lista, entretanto, mas nunca mais me responderam ao último e-mail. Achas que consegues dar uma mão? Se me pudesses manter em CC nos e-mails era óptimo... já viste como é que está a ficar o site? abraço, -- Nuno Tavares ☜ ^PT 23:35, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Fui confirmar. Afinal nunca cheguei a mandar mail para eles, foi para a outra DRAC :) Vou já enviar de seguida. Em relação à colaboração, vejo que há duas coisas em curso: 1) o Wiki Loves Monuments e 2) uma colaboração a mais longo prazo, essa da BD de fotografias...

Para 1) era o que te pedia para me manteres em CC, e o site é: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.pt/ - as credenciais são "wlm" e as oito primeiras letras da iniciativa.

Para 2), seria o website da WMP, http://www.wikimedia.pt

Qualquer dúvida, apita.

Em relação à Casa Pia, se achas que pode haver espaço para uma parceria, tens o nosso apoio. Fala pelo menos do projecto, e das nossas iniciativas, e eles que contem connosco se precisarem ajuda. Se houver algo mais concreto, podemos explorar. Eu é que estou muito sobrecarregado com os WLM, mas posso ajudar no que for possível. -- Nuno Tavares ☜ ^PT 00:02, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

PS: o site só ainda não está publicamente disponível porque ainda não fechámos os patrocínios. -- Nuno Tavares ☜ ^PT 00:03, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Sim, podes partilhar as credenciais. O âmbito do WLM é: fotos carregadas em Setembro. O que significa que fotos com 30 anos, se nunca foram disponibilizadas numa licença livre em algum outro lugar, são admissíveis para carregamento no Commons (cuja premissa é ter, precisamente, uma licença livre). Posto isto, até tinha a sua graça a DRAC participar com o arquivo eheheh, seria genial! Mas, claro, tem que ser a título individual (ou seja, não pode ser "a DRAC" a participar por ser uma entidade), o que levanta a questão de "como é que o indivíduo licenciará conteúdos da DRAC". É exequível, sim, mas tem que ter a permissão escrita da DRAC. Fiz-me entender?

A DRAC pode ainda participar de outra forma: ao disponibilizar o arquivo numa licença livre, nós estamos prestes a emitir um comunicado de imprensa sobre o WLM, e podemos referir já essa colaboração! Dizer algo do estilo "A DRAC, em sintonia com o WLM, libertou XXX fotos sob licença ...." :-) Seria genial, e daria uma visibilidade à DRAC espectacular. -- Nuno Tavares ☜ ^PT 00:28, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

File:The_Servant_Of_God,_Father_Varghese_Palakkappillil_with_the_Pioneer_Sisters_of_the_Destitute.png has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion 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, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Files from Web Gallery of Art

I saw that you requested the deletion of a file a uploaded for copyrighted violation. It was a file, as I reported, from the Web Gallery of Art site, and I uploaded because in Commons there are hundreds (maybe thoundands) of images from WGA). Maybe I did not write correctly on the Info, so... could you tell me precisely what I have to do ? YukioSanjo (talk) 10:39, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello Yukio, if I well recall, it was a sculpture, and {{PD-Art}} only applies to 2D works of art, that's why it was a copyright violation. It is an understandable mistake, I don't think you are a copyright violator, and if you want to remove the automated advice I've sent to your userpage, please do so. But you should verify among your uploads if there is another situation like this one, and send it to speedy delete.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 10:49, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

OK. I will check.
Bye

Olá Carlo.

Fotografía de Copiapó

Filtro de etiquetas:

• 16:29 21 jun 2011 DarwIn (Discusión | contribuciones) borró «File:Dibujo444.jpg» ‎ (Copyright violation: At least one of the images can be seen here: http://www.mimundosocial.cl/6basico/orgdelarepublica/presidentes%20conservadores.html The rest are presumed to be copyvios as well) (global usage; delinker log)

Excuse me, but I'm from Copiapó, and actually live to one square away from the monument of Juan Godoy. You can search for many of the existing pictures of the monument and they look pretty much the same. Also, I have never -ever- visited the website you citted before as to assume the picture was taken from there. Then, do you have any certain that the real author of the picture is the owner of such website or at least this was ever authorized to use it?

• 16:21 21 jun 2011 DarwIn (Discusión | contribuciones) borró «File:Udeatacama.jpg» ‎ (Copyright violation: Not own work certainly, a version of this file can be seen here: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=40659044) (global usage; delinker log).

Again. What does this mean? The picture was also in the article about the University of Atacama (in my city, too), a picture taken several years ago, and present in such article since 2008 or 2009, if not wrong (I was also the one who uploaded, not sure if ussing my current wikipedia account... might have been with the one named Judebc). Now, thanks to you, both articles -and the worst of all, the main one- lacks of the picture.

• 16:11 21 jun 2011 DarwIn (Discusión | contribuciones) borró «File:Banderacoppo.jpg» ‎ (Copyright violation: Derivative of copyrighted image, already deleted and uploaded again by this user) (global usage; delinker log)

Now, why this? The "escudo" in the middle of the flag I took it from the "escudo" in the website that no one has ereased yet. I made this picture, based in the flag you can find in the city hall, and pictures on Internet. See: [[4]]. I'd like to know the Wikipedia policy regarding this matter, please.

Please, don't act as if your uploads were undeservedly put in question, since you uploaded a lot of blatant copyvios. I will look into those cases you mention and give you an answer, shortly.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 17:28, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

About case 1: I beg you to not take me for a fool, and do not insult my intelligence. The image that can be seen in File:Dibujo444.jpg is obviously this one. I don't know who is the actual author of that image, but I know it probably is not you, especially after your comment about "many of the existing pictures of the monument and they look pretty much the same". If you can prove the opposite, please do so.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 17:35, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

DarwIn: it was not my intention to make you believe so. I won't deny thay only half of the pictures used in the collage were of my authory. The thing is that you said -or apparently so- that the rest of the pictures were copyvios. And regarding the flag of the city, I don't understand what's the problem with making the flag myself, using an authorized picture (the coat of the city). And if so, what especificall license should I use for it. Thanks.

If they were not your work, why have you said it was in the authorship of the file? And why have you done the same for many other files you uploaded, which were others work? You even passed the work of another Commons user as your own. For Christ sake, what was the need for that?

About the collage, you can't keep it here, even if only one of the photos is a copyvio. If you have images taken by you or under a free license, you may make and upload a new one.

About the coat of arms, you cannot grab a coat of arms from the internet, paste it into a blue field and make a flag from it, as it would still be a derivative of the original copyrighted work. You can do one yourself using available free elements or elements designed by you.

About the university picture, if you claim authorship on it, please follow COM:OTRS procedures to properly license it. I would gladly restore it while waiting for the authorisation if you were a trusted user, but unfortunately you have destroyed that trust with your actions.

Finally, why don't you take your camera and pick some photos yourself, instead of stealing other's work? I swear I can't understand why people do that, it's so much more rewarding to publish what really is one's own work.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 18:04, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I've closed it now, thanks for noticing it.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 08:45, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Bom dia, Darwin! Como sempre você gentilíssimo e prestativo, muito obrigado. Agora estou seguro que a imagem do brasão dos Paes de Barros Penteados não sera apagada pela Commons. Parece-me que voce vetorizou a imagem, os traços ficaram melhor definidos e a cor mais viva - mui grato. Acredito, por alguns de seus trabalhos que tive a oportunidade de apreciar, ser o seu interesse intelectual pelos assuntos Monarquicos e a Nobreza, o que muito apraz-me posto ser Monarquista por tradição famiiar, formação e indole, porem sendo esses fatores consubstanciados à ciencia politica - na qual sou convicto. Por ocasião do plebiscito de 1993, sob a egide de SAIR Dom Bertrand de Orleãs e Bragança, Principe Imperial do Brasil e pelas mãos de meu primo Gustavo Ferreira Cintra do Prado (atual Diretor Secretario Geral da Chefia da Casa Imperial do Brasil, junto à SEU CHEFE SAIR O PRINCIPE DOM LUIZ DE ORLEÃS E BRAGANÇA), fui, em 1991 ou 1992, fundador do CONSELHO PRÓ BRASIL MONARQUICO e a minha mulher, Marilene Pimentel de Oliveira Queiroz, fundadora e Presidente da AÇÃO MONARQUICA FEMININA DO BRASIL. Pelo visto a matéria é de nosso agrado. Quase todos, se não todos, os artigos já escritos (ao redor de 20), por mim nas paginas da Wikipedia referem-se à minha familia e à Monarquia, dois principios que cultuo e procuro mante-los vivos e atuais. Estou, como sempre, prazerosamente, ao seu inteiro dispor e faço questão de salientar os meus agradecimento pela sua preciosa ajuda.

El escudo de Girona FC, mismo que sea tu proprio trabajo, no es un logo libre, por eso es violación de copyright. File:1aalineaciongirona.JPG ha sido borrada (no por mi) porque la cargaste aquí como tu proprio trabajo, lo que no es verdad. Se la quieres de vuelta, tienes que identificar la origen y data de la imagen con mas precisión.

I mean the theatrical release poster: the one shown in the English wikipage and the one used in the Spanish page. Thanks!!--Correogsk (talk) 02:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Neo ender

Hola. Vi que intentaste como yo ayudar a este usuario, por lo que venia a darte un par de explicaciones. Hoy fue bloqueado por un mes debido a que continuaba subiendo imágenes no libres y a sus comentarios hacia varios usuarios, aquí y en es:WP. El problema exacto con sus imágenes es el siguiente: él es artista. Consigue una imagen en internet de algún artista y pinta un cuadro con esa misma imagen. Luego le toma una foto a la imagen y la sube en Commons como trabajo propio. El problema aqui es que, aunque él haya hecho efectivamente el cuadro, la imagen original no es suya, sino una fotografía con derechos de autor. Esta es la causa por la cual se borran los cuadros que sube. También hay que decir que lo intenta desde el año pasado, que en es:WP ya fue bloqueado en otra ocasión y que me ha dicho en su discusión "yo no estoy interesado en amoldar, o vovlerme parte esencial de Wikipedia", por lo que, por triste que sea esta situación, no creo que tenga arreglo. Un saludo. --Andrea (talk) 23:10, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Hola Andrea! Por alguna razón el no comprendía como funcionan los trabajos derivados, pero yo hay tenido una conversa con el y creo que ahora todo es mas claro para el. El me ha dijo también que se queda muy arrepentido de toda esta confusión y que no quier mas peleas. Yo creo que el reacio un poco como un animal acosado, no comprendía lo que pasaba y por eso fue tan agresivo y petulante. Yo pienso que eso tiene arreglo, si, pero claro que depende de el.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:56, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Puede ser, pero no es la primera vez que le pasa. No es novato en este tema y más de una persona trató de ayudarlo por las buenas, así que no lo veo muy justificado. Si no quiere peleas, me parece bien. Mejor que aproveche este tiempo para pensar en lo que Wikipedia significa, en sus objetivos en Commons y en que las políticas son para todos, incluyéndolo a él y a su talento. Además, con una petición de debloqueo como esta poco después de que hablaras con él y le explicaras las cosas, dificilmente pueda creerte que está dispuesto a calmarse o cambiar. Ya veremos que sucede. En es:WP su bloqueo se levanta en una semana si deja de persistir en evadirlo; sino, se va a complicar. Un saludo. --Andrea (talk) 00:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Como puedes ver el retiro por si mismo esa petición de bloqueo, y lo ha hecho después que jo hable con el. Yo creo que este caso tiene solución, sino no tendría investido mi tiempo en ayudar-lo. Su caso ha empezado muy mal, pero no es tarde para que cambie el camino. No me gusta este tipo de bola de nieve en que algunos usuarios se atrapan sin se apercebir. Lo que de otro modo pudiera ser un usuario valioso y de qualidad se torna un monstruo, sin necesidad.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 00:48, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

De nuevo, eso depende solamente de él y de que comprenda que no hay dos varas de medir. El respeto debe ser el mismo, para todos. Ya veremos si luego del bloqueo reflexiona. Un saludo. --Andrea (talk) 01:04, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Neo ender

Early assumption: blocking is only for safeguarding the project, not a form of punishement. So, I think that the project needs at least one month without Neo ender; this is the minimum time for understand and realize if he is truly interested in partecipate on Commons (not only for use it like a personal showcase). If so, after this period he will be here with his in-scope contributions (after reading some policies and guidelines, I hope, in particulary COM:DW). If we unblocking him now or after only one week, I believe that he will return here with the same ideas, and this means a huge waste of time for all. Further, I don't trust in tutoring (unless it's done by more people), it's an high risk. However, if there is consensus in unblocking him or reducing his block, I will not oppose.--Trixt (talk) 23:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

I talked with him off-wiki and I know he now understands how COM:DW works. He's much more calmer as well. I will work this out with him a little further, and then ask for an unblock at AN if he wants to come back earlier than the month. I'm pretty sure he will not make the same mistakes again, nevertheless. I'm convinced he was in good faith since the beginning, and tried in his clumsy way to do things right (even bought the Getty image), but his poor knowledge with licensing and a proneness to excessive emotion made this go out of control.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:48, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

File:Silhouette Christian Adolph Overbeck.jpg

You moved this file because of bad name, but the letters you eliminated in moving the file contained basic information, it was the page of the silhouette in the edition by Bräuning Oktavio 1926. Please revert!--Kresspahl (talk) 11:47, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

No, it was not moved by me, I just fed the request to the bot. It was requested by JuTa and moved by Sreejithk2000, see here. You may contact them about that issue.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 11:50, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I moved it again and included the basic file info with regard to the edition of Voß collection...--Kresspahl (talk) 11:59, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Ok, but next time please use the {{rename}} feature, so that the new name can be updated in the projects.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:05, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Deleted Image

Hi DarwIn, I attempted to upload an image that is the logo for a student organization. I was asked by the leadership to upload it, and it is not copyrighted. Did I mark it wrong somehow when I uploaded it? Thank you!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Megchia (talk • contribs)

Yes, logos are generally copyrighted, unless they are very simple, which is not the case of this one. I've restored it now, please follow the OTRS procedures explained in your talk page in order to confirm its free licensing, otherwise it will be deleted again in 7 days. Best regards, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:48, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

can i use images uploaded on google earth for wikipedia uploads?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanved (talk • contribs)

Answered at your talk page.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Deleted Image

The images you just deleted were used on this page: Machecoul. What about all the galleries that are empty now?!

Keckel (talk) 12:32, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

You should had thought about that before stealing other's work and uploading as your own. Next time I catch you doing that you will be blocked.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:35, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, since you deleted all these photos, YOU shall correct this page!

Keckel (talk) 12:44, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, I'll do it. In the Greek calends.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:45, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

OK, I'll do it myself! Thank you very much indeed, that was a pleasure!

Keckel (talk) 12:49, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

My pleasure. And don't forget: Next time, block.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:59, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

It was so kind of you to destroy all the work I've made for weeks: I f... I thank you very much!...

PS: Some of the images you deleted were actually free... Well done, good work indeed...

Keckel (talk) 13:13, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

You uploaded so much robbery that it's only natural that some babies went out with the dirty water. If they are free upload them again with solid proof they are free.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 13:15, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

So easy to say this and act like that... You delete and then you tell me to upload again. Very nice, aren't you?

Keckel (talk) 13:29, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

I am. Don't you have any shame? Stealing others property and making it pass as your own? How can you even pretend to pose as the offended party? Frankly.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 13:37, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia administrators are powerful and almighty, and delete, ordain, control, criticize, without considering contributor's works. And their excuse : they are always right, contributors are always wrong, as usual. You're a perfect example of that. By the way why and how did you come to these images? Some of them were on line for weeks. Readers will be astonished. But Godish almighty powerful administrator is always right, deleting free images without scruples. And afterwards, another administrator will congratulate me because my work is good. Too late, it's deleted! Funny, isn't it? Well never mind, these images were beautiful, but since you swiped them off without warning me before, alea jacta est! I give it up: as usual almighty administrator won! What else could I do anyway?

Keckel (talk) 13:53, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Free images?! What free images? You have no merit in donating what is not yours, it's pure robbery and it's a actually a crime. If you want to collaborate with this project the very least you have to do is to obey the law - and I mean the real law of your country. Why don't you pick a camera and take some pictures of Machecoul, instead of stealing others photos and uploading as your own? Is that so difficult? And give me a break with that admin winning, ask anyone about what you have done and the answer will be the same.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 13:59, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Málaga CF logo

Hello! My image hadn't copyright, I made it myself. Morancio (talk) 12:33, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I know that your photo had a free license, but the logo in it is not free. Your photo counts as a derivative, and is therefore not free as well. I'm sorry for having to delete it.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:35, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

No problem, it's your work. Morancio (talk) 12:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Please I beg you to delete 8 files i added

Hi,

DarwIn, I tried everything, templates, ...

there are 8 files that I want to delete because the title and thumbnail are bad

i posted already 8 other files last week that are good

but the 8 old one, I don't succeed to let delete them by somebody because I don't succeed to put them on a deletion page

can you delete them please,

many thanks

thanks Donder (talk) 23:05, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

As you suggested

Commons:Village pump/Copyright#I just wrote template:PD-German logos. But I still feel that it is not constructive to open deletion discussion about many logos, just to prevent speedy deletion. There would be also sufficient precedent for a special licence tag for American logos. For most other countries, there may be a lack of case law. But most would still be free because de minimis non curat lex (the courts cannot be bothered with trifles). That is the common-sense approach, may not work in every country (and it certainly does not hold on Commons...) Regards, /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 13:27, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

A substituição do source é neste arquivo onde o usuário colocou um template inexistente mas que indica que ele é o autor. Pelo menos quem lê português pode interpretar isso. OTAVIO1981 (talk) 16:39, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Podia fazer o favor de verificar se estas edições aqui e aqui estão de acordo com a regra da casa? A segunda parece que terá que carregar outra imagem de acordo com a fonte.OTAVIO1981 (talk) 11:11, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Arquivo deletado

Náo entendi aquela msg na minha página. Diz que um arquivo, nao lembro qual nem posso consultar pois sumiu, foi colocado em eliminação por ser 'violação de coypright'. Só que o artigo já está apagado. Como assim? MachoCarioca (talk) 05:32, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

É um logo com uma coroa que você carregou aqui como sendo coisa sua, mas não é.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 05:34, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Como assim "É um logo com uma coroa que você carregou aqui como sendo coisa sua, mas não é." E como pode saber disso? Foi vc que colocou pra eliminação e vc mesmo deletou?? MachoCarioca (talk) 05:39, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Sim, um VDA que você carregou como sendo trabalho seu. Se discorda, já sabe o caminho: Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 05:40, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Creio que é voce que tem que comprovar o VDA , não? E aguardar opinião de outros e dar tempo ao carregador de dar alguma explicação, não? Vc acha que é VDA, marca para eliminação e vc mesmo elimina? É assim que funciona? MachoCarioca (talk) 05:47, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Sim, é assim que funciona. A justificação do VDA está no log de eliminação (você já devia saber isso, uma vez que já é veterano no carregamento de VDAs).-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 05:51, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

E de onde vc tirou que aquilo é VDA?? Eu vou questionar aos adms do Commons se vc pode fazer isso, eliminar um arquivo que você mesmo coloca para eliminar e eliminar um trabalho próprio porque 'acha' que é VDA, vc mesmo pedindo eliminação, vc mesmo eliminando e nem dando qualquer tempo para que se discuta o assunto .MachoCarioca (talk) 06:01, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Em VDAs não há espaço para discussão, primeiro elimina depois discute. Quanto aos seus questionamentos, faça o favor.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 06:12, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello Pierre,

No, not at all, I don't want to delete it, quite the opposite. But you need to sent the permission for that image to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org . You must remember, however, that permission for use in wikipédia only is not enough. Please tell me if I can be of further help.

TI-Nspire CX and TI-Nspire CX CAS images

Hello. I saw that you deleted the File:TI-Nspire CX.jpg and File:TI-Nspire CX CAS.jpg files. These images are normally copyrighted, but according to the descriptions of File:TI-Nspire.jpg and File:TI-NspireCAS.jpg (on Wikipedia, not Wikimedia Commons (I'm not sure how to make inter-wiki links...)), Joerg Woerner has allowed "the Wikipedia project" to use the images. I'm not sure if that means Wikipedia or if it means all Wikimedia sites, but if it does mean all Wikimedia sites, I believe that the images should be undeleted (and that Joerg's image usage permission should be included in the descriptions). JosJuice (talk) 16:45, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello JosJuice, we don't accept "Wikipedia only" permissions here. The very fact that someone says that the file is to be used in Wikipedia suggests that they don't want it to be used anywhere else, or that teh license is purely non-commercial, therefore those files are currebtly a copyvio and can't be undeleted. If you get COM:OTRS permission from the copyright holder just tell me and I'll restore them, if the OTRS team had not restored them yet.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 16:52, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Text-logos???

Frist of all: You also speak portuguese, and can talk with me in portuguese. But since you started in english... let's go!

See {{Textlogo}}. I opened a DR for the only one that can be (though vaguely) considered not a textlogo, the rest are obviously textlogos, but if you want to open DRs for them, go ahead. What you should not do, in any case, is delete images that are in public domain as those one, based on uninformed requests from users at your home wiki.

Hello Midnight bird, first of all, we don't allow non-commercial licenses here, and FAL (the license you have placed there) is not a non-commercial license as you seem to believe. However, those photographs seem to be public domain according to the Italian law, because they were created more than 20 years ago (as stated in the tag). If you disagree you should nominate them for deletion, not just return the old tag (unless you really want to release them under FAL, which I doubt, from your comments above).-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:31, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Please tell me if you really want to release those images, since PD-Italy is not very secure as a license to keep them.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:55, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Vê se a edição que fiz aqui está nos conformes. Panoramas do Brasil, mesmo que seja óbvio que o editor que carregou não é o autor, podem ficar mas como acertar a questão da licença? Vê esta imagem. Screenshots de programas copyrightados = ER. Tô impressionado com a quantidade de imagens de gente sem notoriedade que tem aqui com artigo na pédia. Vou passar batido nestes, hehehe. OTAVIO1981 (talk) 12:12, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Como é que se faz por aqui quando se encontra uma imagem como esta, toda tremida? Abraços! José Luiz ^disc 14:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

DarwIn

Tira uma dúvida. Vi que uns logos de clubes do Brasil foram marcados como copyvio e você reverteu baseado que tratava-se de geometria simples e estavam no limiar da originalidade. Bem, enquanto o simbolo do File:Sao Paulo Clube.gif pode ser feito com uma régua existem outros bem elaborados como File:Fluminense logo.gif. Como é possível afirmar que as letras ali, FFC, tratam-se de geometria simples? Desconheço qualquer outra incidência desta geometria simples em qualquer lugar. Se basta competência técnica para elaborar à mão um desenho para ser considerado geometria simples, pelo menos o símbolo do Microsoft Excel poderia ser perfeitamente carregado. Então, eis a dúvida, como atualmente é interpretado o limiar da originalidade? OTAVIO1981 (talk) 16:33, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Tarefa para ti: avisar na pédia que alguns ficheiros como este podem ser econominazados no URC. O escudo do Vasco é largamente baseado em uma versão antiga, anterior a 1941, pode ser carregado também? Ainda não entendi completamente porque letras não são sujeitas a copyright. Por enquanto, vou parar de apagar logos de clubes mas faltou vc explicar aí o logotipo do excel. Abç OTAVIO1981 (talk) 14:49, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Pelo que você está explicando, todos os logos criados a partir de 1941 podem ficar sem problema algum, e boa parte dos que foram criados depois e são baseados em antigos. Tem que melhorar a documentação interna disso pq é deficiente e qualquer um que vier de outro projeto vai querer apagar estes logos. Veja o caso do Vasco aqui. Todos os três logos podem ser mantidos aqui pelo visto. Grato por ter revisado as nomeações, vou ter mais atenção nas próximas vezes. Sds OTAVIO1981 (talk) 16:41, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Quinta dos Loridos / Buddha Eden

Prezado DarwIn, Torna-se necessário subdividir a categoria "Category:Bombarral" para acomodar uma série de fotos que estou a lançar, a cobrir a Quinta dos Loridos, onde, por sua vez, se inscreve o chamado "Buddha Eden Garden". Se me criar a(s) subcategoria(s), faço o trabalho braçal de recategorização na sequência. Grato, Carlos Luis Cruz (talk) 21:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear Sir I am the author of the file Katia Humala Tasso Belen.jpg. I am the author of the photography. Mrs Humala tasso is my wife. I do not unterstand all this trouble. Please, stop with this. I cannot spend hours trying to contact Wiki permissions and so on. Please do it and replace this file. Idem for the photography of Father Alexis Joveneau with a Montagnais indian child in a hamac. This photography has been sent to my by the director of the Archives Deschâtelets (Ottawa, Canada)precisely in aim to illustrate this article Wiki that I have created. II have no time to seek a so called permission of Wikicommons. Please do it yourself also and replace my photo. Thank you. Sincerely yours; Pierre-Olivier Combelles.

Changing names of images I added

Hi,

I added images some days ago, but 4 of them there is a problem with the name.

Can you please change it?

3 images

De Graevesmolen Mere vooraanzicht.JPG needs to be changed in De Graevemolen Mere vooraanzicht.JPG

De Graevesmolen Mere zijaanzicht.JPG needs to be changed in De Graevemolen Mere zijaanzicht.JPG

De Graevesmolen Mere rad.JPG needs to be changed in De Graevemolen Mere rad.JPG

[[25]] [[26]] [[27]]

Reason: the name of this mill (molen) is De Graevemolen (not De Graevesmolen).

So just deleting the "s" in that 3 names.

1 image

Zwingelmolen Aaigem gebouw.JPG needs to be changed in Zwingelmolen Aaigem.JPG

[[28]]

Reason: it's stupid to put building (gebouw) after it, of course it's a building. It was the first of 30 I uploaded and I saw to late gebouw was still in it.

So just deleting gebouw at the and.

.

thanks if you could do that

Santuário do Bom Jesus do Monte

Prezado DarwIn, Estou a tentar dar uma ajeitada no "Santuário do Bom Jesus do Monte" em Braga, e a coisa na pt-Wiki tem mais derivações que Star Trek...

Template SIPA

Viva DarwIn, eu alterei um pouco o template IGESPAR, e como o template SIPA usava os mesmos critérios, alterei-o também. Eu deveria ter discutido aqui primeiro (as minhas desculpas), mas como estava 'com a mão na massa', foi tudo de seguida. As alterações foram: 1-"Type=CMN-Conjuntos Monumento Nacional", deixou de existir, pois não é uma classificação no IGESPAR; 2- "Type=E/A" passou a direccionar correctamente para a "Categoria:Monuments without legal protection in Portugal by name"; 3-A "Categoria:Monuments included in classified sites in Portugal by name" passou a ser carregada com o novo "Type=INC" (para cobrir os monumentos que embora classificados "E/A", estão incluídos em Sítios ou Conjuntos classificados). Espero que esteja de acordo com as alterações. Abrç. --JotaCartas (talk) 10:56, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Ainda IGESPAR e SIPA

Olá de novo. Aqui vai uma questão um pouco complicada: Dado que 'praticamente' todos os monumentos da base IGESPAR estão também na base SIPA (atç. que o inverso não é verdadeiro), não poderia ser criado um template conjunto, que evitasse a existência de duas 'caixas' seguidas nas categorias e páginas que os usam? Poderá ser complexo, e eu não me sinto capaz de o fazer, mas pode-se sempre pedir uma ajuda ao Otourly ou/e ao Jean-Frédéric, que creio terem sido os autores iniciais do {{IGESPAR}}. A questão poderá ser alargada a todos os que teem usado/alterado os templates.--JotaCartas (talk) 11:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

PS:Algo idêntico poderá ser feito com os {{DRAC-RAA}}/{{SIPA}}) e ({{DRAC-RAM}}/{{SIPA}}), embora eu não conheça as bases do património das ilhas, nem saiba se estão online na Web.

E por fim (espero) de novo SIPA

Olá de novo. Enquanto a situação se mantem (i.e {{IGESPAR}} e {{SIPA}} separados), quando uma página usar os dois templates, a classificação do SIPA (Type) deverá ser igual à do IGESPAR (prioritária). Quando o {{SIPA}} é o único, e não existe referência no IGESPAR nem na DRAC-RAA nem na DRAC-RAM, deverá ser classificado na "Category:Monuments without legal protection in Portugal by name" se o parâmetro "type" for nulo. Para isso o {{SIPA}} poderá ser alterado para o fazer automaticamente. Nos caso em que a base do SIPA indique que o monumento está incluído em Sitio, Conjunto ou mesmo Zona de protecção, dever-se-a nesse caso colocar parâmetro "type=INC" e será classificado automaticamente na "Category:Monuments included in classified sites in Portugal by name". Quando tiver tempo, de-me a sua opinião. Obrigado. --JotaCartas (talk) 14:54, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Renaming of files

What was your idea to get serveral files renamed that I uploaded? There was no need nor reason for such action. Now the original file numbers from the camera are lost.

Pictures Uploaded through Wikipedia Commons

Hello Mr DarwIn,

I am rather curious regarding your actions in uploading my pictures under the 'bogus license' sector, and about the necessity of the changes you made. Due, to personal reasons, I had been unable to attend the debate concerning this deletion either. Thus, would you please enlighten me regarding these deletions?

English vs Portuguese

Olá Darwin. I hate to bring you into this, but I wanted your opinion, since you were so friendly on the work I did on the Azores material. Recently, some editors associated with the "freguesias-versus-civil parishes" disagreement, and with the WikiLove Monuments in Portugal campaign, have begun to systematically create and/or rename files into Portuguese. I was hoping that you could suggest a course of action. I have been counselled to bring the categorization changes to discussion. Is there an appropriate forum within Commons to debate wholesale changes or actions in violations of the Commons:Language policy? In reverting the category names, the user has suggested that "it is the right name in Portuguese", which goes counter to the English policy guideline. While I have accepted the "freguesia-versus-parish" discussion in the past, it seems that it has embolden this user to go ahead with full Portuguese name usage in the categories, likely supported by other like-minded individuals. My renaming-to-English-attempts have have been reverted and the re-categorized imagery returned to the Portuguese variant. Any suggestions? Ruben JC (Zeorymer) (talk) 17:48, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Chriskyddwr

I am sorry for the lauguage, i was just quite upset, becuase you blocked all my pictures, most of which i took myself. the others, i took from my dad, who took them. how should i reload them, so that as to specifically show that they are mine?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriskyddwr (talk • contribs)

You may start by explaining how come "your" picture of Our Lady of Pompeii ended up in the parish website: http://www.olpparish.com/

Or how "your" picture of St. Mary is a promotional picture from the school official website: http://smhlancers.org/framework.php?module=about

Or why "your" picture of the Reinstein Woods is actually a crop from a photo from the NW State Agency: http://www.dec.ny.gov/education/1837.html

And so on, and so on. Actually, you have not uploaded a single photograph with the slightest hint of having been taken by you.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:45, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

well first of all, my dad works at st marys high school (of which the picture is for, the wikipedia page he asked me to work on for him). He took the picture, he is in charge of the website. Keith Kidder, it shows it on the wikipedia page. the our lady of pompeii, my church, i dont actually need, so you can just go and delete it thats fine.

the same can be said about the SCBA logo, where you will find his name on both the wikipedia page that i used it in, and the link which YOU sited as being copyright infringement— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriskyddwr (talk • contribs)

About the St. Mary HS picture, if the case is as you say, you may do one of two things: If you *really* want the deleted image here, someone in charge of the website or the actual author of the photo himself must follow the instructions in COM:OTRS and email the permission to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. If your father works there, however, it would be much simpler if you just go there with a camera and take a new photograph of the building, so that it would have EXIF data to support your claims of authorship.

About the logo, the case is not that simple. First of all, we need to know who designed that logo, and if that person authorizes it's publication under a free license. Authorship of the actual photograph of the logo is immaterial in this case, however - All that matters is who actually designed the logo or owns its copyright.

Message from Katarighe

Hi DarwIn,

A great gift for you!

Just letting you know that I appreciative you of awaring me any copyright violations from me. Later after you warned me 6 months ago, I tried to stop uploading and took myself a look at the welcome page about contribution to the media repository I decided them to upload them on Wikipedia as a fair-use rational. Once I read the welcome page, I contribute photo very good photos but free from copyright. I did this by mistake to avoid myself shame. As you can see, I have made many good contributions to Wikimedia Commons since now such as helping the user to promote a picture into a Quality and Valued picture status back in October I know what I have did is wrong.

I settled here on Wikimedia Commons specifically to promote great quality images into VP, QP and FP status. I actually learned my mistakes earlier in the last six months. I'm also actually active in the English Wikipedia specifically to upload fair-use articles to illustrate the subject on the article. During my time here, I always track down copyright violations and help Wikimedia Commons running smoothly free from trouble. That's what i'm really good at for now. So im only trying to improve here very well. I have been long active in Wikimedia Commons I do understand well about image licenses already but I will be also familiar with more still about copyright. I'm trying to be nice, assume good faith and being honest for this.

I have given you the best gift for awaraing me of this. I appreciate your contributions.

Best Regards :-)

Katarighe (Talk) 00:14, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Katarighe, I'm very glad that you are now such a valuable contributor to Commons, and an important part of our community. Don't worry about the past, everyone makes mistakes when they are new. I've done mine too, and I'm sure I will still do some mistakes occasionally, even with all the experience I gathered in the past years. We are always learning from each other, that's one of the funniest parts of this! :)

Thank you very much for the gift and keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Yes VI is a label that is not acquired permanently. A little further down the page selection, you have this case with the "Lake Dera Yunco." The label will move from one image to another. This label was created for illustrators quickly find the best image for a given subject. In the gallery of COMMONS labels are displayed. At the moment many category does not include a lot of pictures but the speed at which develops COMMONS this tool will be indispensable.

Our Lady of Limpet

Viva Darwin, Eu próprio tive algumas duvidas em colocar a tradução, mas basei-me no nome alternativo da infobox do artigo en:Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Lapa (Sernancelhe) na en.WP, mas se achar melhor, o melhor é retira-la. --JotaCartas (talk) 22:59, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Procurei um pouco, e parece que 'limpet' em inglês diz respeito ao marisco 'lapa'. Se assim for, será mesmo melhor retirar a tradução. Abraço --JotaCartas (talk) 23:17, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Viva, já limpei os limpet's todos da Nossa Senhora da Lapa, pois era um verdadeiro disparate.

Quanto às marcas de àgua, é verdadeiramente uma pena. A Torre do Tombo e o Centro Português de Fotografia fazem exactamente o mesmo, ainda que sabendo que não tem quaisquer direitos de autor sobre as fotos. Outro exemplo é a Biblioteca Pública Municipal de Gaia que coloca marcas de água sobre fotos das quais não possuem quaisquer direitos a não ser o serem os possuidores das mesmas.

Alem disso parece-me incorrecto e mesmo ilegal que declarem possuir os direitos de autor sobre fotos ou documentos de autores falecidos à mais de 70 anos, só pelo facto de estarem na posse dos originais - a meu ver, isso não lhe dá quaisquer direitos, pois não se tratam de direitos de posse, mas sim de direitos de autor. (enfim democracia à Portuguesa). Neste aspecto, os americanos dão um bom exemplo (todas as fotos do governo ou de funcionários em serviço são do domínio público). Então, nós, que pagamos com os nossos impostos o trabalho deles ainda temos que lhes pagar os direitos de autor??? — infelizmente temos muito a aprender com os anglo-saxonicos e outros paises nórdicos no que diz respeito aos direitos dos cidadãos.

review

•  Comment Very useful, I only suggest, as ornithology, add "drawing" in scope. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:56, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
  • I could add "botanical illustration" in scope, but there are much more astonishing botanical illustrations than this one, which is rather dull due to its subject. If you mean Category:Chamaeranthemum - botanical illustration, maybe it's a bit early for that, when we only have one image for everything on this genus. Or perhaps I misunderstood what you meant?-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 13:36, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
•  Comment We hope to have quickly, a photograph of a living specimen. To avoid future discussions it is easier to add "drawing" in scope. For the name: the subspecies being visually different it is good to give the full name of the subspecies represented. The scope could be: « Chamaeranthemum beyrichii var. rotundifolium », drawing. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 16:49, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
  •  Comment I've made the changes you requested, please see if everything is ok now. I'm new to this, and thought that since it's the only available picture for the whole genus, it would be better to use it as scope. I've searched flickr for this genus, and there are some images there, although with an unfree license, so there's not really that impossible that there could be an image of a real plant in the near future here in Commons.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 18:32, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Sobre restablecimiento de imágenes

Gracias por restablecer las imágenes al fin alguien con sentido común, cuando creo los colages es por necesito ilustrar algo con varias imágenes me parece fuera de lugar subir una a una además del colage, acá siempre es un problema subir fotos, siempre le colocan una plantilla y nunca no especifican que es lo que hay de malo, por lo general las plantillas engloban un conjunto de falta y uno tiene que estar adivinando, por le escribo a los que colocan la plantilla y no te dice o no saben porque la colocan y los administradores aun peor ya he optado porque no les consulto nada porque nunca responden. Gracias de nuevo eres muy atento, cuando tenga problema te consultare Saludos --Veronidae (talk) 19:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

•  Support Very useful; All criteria are met and the geocoding can be given. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 07:25, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately I can't geocode this building, since there is no information about where it was precisely located, apart from the logic conclusion that it was somewhere in the street that now bears its name, Rua do Hospital Velho. When it was demolished it has not been an hospital since the late 17th century, and apparently few cared about it, apart from the man who salvaged the windows. Even those windows used to be a mistery, and only recently were connected with this building where they came from, since they were found merely stored in a warehouse without any information at all about their provenance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DarwIn (talk • contribs)
    • OK, then geocoding at the street level is fine. Yann (talk) 05:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

• Hi all! I suddenly remembered that recently a detailed 1567 map of Funchal (see right) was found in Rio de Janeiro, resolving a lot of pending issues, among them the location of Hospital Velho. I changed the file accordingly, geolocating the object as precise as I could, overlapping it with the satellite view in Google Maps.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 21:25, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Category:ILN 1922

Can you please create this with a expanded name? ILN can stand for a lot of things, and it would be a lot clearer if it were expanded out.--Prosfilaes (talk) 04:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. I followed the example in Category:Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, which seemed very reasonable to me. Category:The Illustrated London News issues of 1922 besides being horrendously long, it's not more easy than ILN 1922. Actually, it's much worst, as it clutters the category list in HotCat with the almost 80 entries for the issues. I do not agree with using a expanded name here. Anyway, when I have already created 80 of them like that, I'll not change the system. If you really think this is a problem, then put it for discussion at VP or somewhere else and then request a bot to change it. Cheers,-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 05:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Tem razão. A tal arquibancada de madeira ainda existe mesmo. Mas o campo acabou, virou de futebol soçaite, ou seja, de grama sintética em tamanho menor. Aquilo tudo ali que na época eu frequentei agora está incorporado à Acadêmicos do Salgueiro, uma escola de samba. O que é isso de DR? O que eu escrevo quando passar as fotos para fair-use? O fotógrafo é ignorado, o jornal acabou, a situação é essa mesmo. E eu confirmei que as 3 fotos são da mesma época, anos 70. Abraços, Junius (talk) 00:34, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Pelo que eu entendi o jornal acabou e o meu amigo que foi jornalista lá pegou as fotos para ele. O time também acabou porque a sede foi incorporada pela escola de samba. Ele me disse que caiu tudo em domínio público. As fotos nunca foram publicadas em jornal, estavam só em arquivo, e não estão em nenhum sítio. Tenho que ver como preencho no fair-use.

Admin?

Hi Darwin. I was hoping you could give me your opinion on User:Gunnex as a potential admin? Also, I was thinking of asking him about this, but Portuguese seems to be his language of choice, along with German, and as I speak English only, I wonder if you might ask him? Now that Fastily is no longer an admin, I'm sure we could use some help, especially with CSD, which looks to be Gunnex's specialty. Thanks for your time. INeverCry 19:39, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Though I don't always agree with Gunnex speed deletion marks (generally on text logos, if I well recall, IMO they should be sent to DR if there are doubts), I've total confidence on him, and he's an old and very valuable asset we have at wiki-pt. We have asked him in the past to be admin there, and if I well recall, he always refused. But this is Commons so let's hope he will accept. I'll ask him in no time.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

I hope he agrees, and I appreciate your agreeing to ask him. Another user I had in mind is User:Lobo, who I've seen alot of CSDs from. Thoughts? INeverCry 23:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't know Lobo at all, so I can't really help you with that... Gunnex I know for almost 4 years, and he was already a solid rock when I was born to WIkipedia. But if you say Lobo is good, there could be no harm in asking him if he accepts.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:31, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Category:Paintings of standing biblical figures

In my regard just the posture when it comes to paintings-of-biblical-figures is negligible to other characteristics. Should a Category:Paintings of sitting biblical figures also be started? I personally think not. Classifying bible-related artworks can be enough covering with epoch (Renaissance/Middle Ages/Modern), identity of figure depicted and artist. Paintings-of-standing-biblical-figures may be a bit of an over-classification (and would demand recatting plenty heaps of items). Thanks Orrlingtalk 14:17, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

LOL I absolutely agree with you. I just wanted to get rid of those biblical paintings where generally (IMO) posture is not important at all, that were crowding the "paintings of standing men" category, so I created that pigeon hole for them. Be my guest to just discard that category.

In the same situation are the Greek and Roman mythological paintings and the likes.

Perhaps a different situation would be the portraits of saints (they are portraits, right?) but I don't thing it would be useful to mess them amidst the portraits of ordinary people, since they are generally imaginary or fantasy paintings and not real portraits of existing people. This is not linear, however, since it was usual in the 15th and 16th centuries to portrait the patrons of works of art in the paintings they commended as saints or accompanying figures...-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 17:37, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Tell me if you think any special move should be taken with Category:Paintings of Greek mythology and Paintings of Roman mythology you're mentioning, in my view neither one is too crowded and they seem to display the full range of postures from standing (or flying) to dead.. So you wanted to thin and diffuse the Category:Paintings of standing men, that's understandable. - but if you ask me, I don't think this category is too populated, sure not when compared with other overblown cats. It's funny that Category:Portraits of saints is actually not even existing yet (but it's OK as Category:Paintings of saints and Saints in art cover what we need) Orrlingtalk 18:24, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Category:Paintings of standing men is now OK because I irradiated it yesterday. ;) I believe we both agree on the way things should be done. When a category becomes too populated, and there is an useful way of dividing things, then it should be used. I usually follow that rule when a dead-end category reaches 200 files.

Relating to posture, I really do not understand why this categorization should be useful to any paintings of men which are not portraits. If you ask me, the category Category:Paintings of standing men should be removed altogether and all its files moved up or down on the tree, as applicable.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 18:33, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

The way people are portrayed in the arts ecompasses a variety of positions and postures (as does sex) and readers may practicably be in search of artworks after such particular keys, i.e in which position the figure is shown; most classical portraits were created indeed when the model is seated, when it comes to non-portrait paintings the artist's decision is depending, as I guess, on the narrative or feelings they wish to bring across, so kneeling, recumbent or standing personifications might do play that role also for our end-users looking for a specific impression. This is my hypothesis. Orrlingtalk 19:30, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

I generally don't have a strong position relating to categories created by others, unless they look obviously useless and impractical ("old paintings", "historical maps", "images of the history of ..." comes to mind), therefore if you say that paintings of standing men may have some use, I don't oppose.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:51, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

No, no, please, attract some more views. I will not mind if "Paintings of standing men" will be dismantled (and then the same fate will need to be met by "Paintings of sitting men" also). Of course, like you I believe that some subcategories around here are superfluous. Orrlingtalk 20:45, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Well the standard settings are to archive a section after 31 days without any comment; that seems plenty to me. You can also prevent auto-archiving for some cases by setting a timestamp some way into the future (eg 2015), and removing/editing it when you're happy the thing is done. Alternatively, you could use SpBot instead (it only archives on request): {{Autoarchive resolved section/usertalksetup}} together with {{Section resolved}} makes manual archiving a little easier.

CoA of Philip II of Spain (I of Portugal since 1580)

Hi DarwIn,

Thank you very much for your interest to my pictures, and for your corrections in the categories of the relief of the CoA of the El Escorial monastery.

If these CoA are not only the "property" of this king, but of some of his followers too (and at least two queens of France...), I think however that the category "CoA of Philip II of Spain" makes sense here, as he was the builder of the monastery. That's why I specified this king.

Anyway, thanks again. --Jebulon (talk) 16:14, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello Jebulon, I tried to categorize those COAs based on their basic description, which is the 1580 model which, apparently, was used until as late as 1668. The purpose was not to strip original coats of arms specifically related to one king from their owner, but I might incidentally done so. Please tell me which CoA is that one, or add the proper category yourself. Thank you very much for your observation.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 16:43, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for answer.

I think you are right (CoA of spanish kings since 1580), but I think I'm not wrong (CoA of Philip II)... This is not incompatible. The sign is the little portuguese escutcheon, in the middle above. As you surely know, Portugal was lost by kings of Spain in 1665 after a lot of military defeats, but inspite of the Treaty of Lisbon of 1668, maybe King Charles II owned those CoA too, until his death and the advent of Anjou-Bourbon family, I don't know... Very interesting !--Jebulon (talk) 17:53, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

No, you are not wrong, it should have both categories indeed.

(Comment) We (Portugal) never belonged to Spain. Filipe was a legitimate King of Portugal by blood, and he and his successors always ruled Portugal as a separate Kingdom, with a separate administration. For instance, I don't believe the Filipes ever used those Castillan coats of arms among us. Instead, the normal coat of arms of Portugal was used. The coat of arms of the Filipes as Kings of Portugal, if I'm not wrong, is Portugal without any marshalling. If it was not for the war with England and its alliance, it could have been a very prosperous time for us. The so called "restoration of independence" in 1640 was nothing but a palacian coup d'état by a cadet royal branch against another. That holiday will be celebrated this year for the last time, the 1st December. The large majority of the population today has not the least idea about why it is an holiday, and the only reason it will be missed is because it provided a very nice bridge with the 8 December holiday. :) -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 21:32, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Since the beginning of our conversation, I've read and learned a lot about the histories of Spain and Portugal under the reigns of the Filipes, and about these kings I recently saw the sarcophagi in El Escorial... Looks to me like a personal union, something like the double monarchy in Austria-Hungary under Emperor-King Franz-Josef (sorry for the anachronism). Anyway, I thank you very much for all you made me discover those days, I'm very interested both by History and heraldry (look at my picture galleries !) and I'm very happy when I learn something new.

You tell me that the 1st december holiday will be celebrated this year for the last time. Why ?
Btw, don't worry, it is the same in France, almost nobody knows now anything about our national history...--Jebulon (talk) 22:30, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

I've never been to El Escorial.. *sigh* Definitively a must go.

Yes, I guess it was a personal union, though I don't believe there ever was a true "Spanish-Portuguese Empire". Both empires remained separated all along, and I'm not aware of any effort to "Hispanize" our possessions.

This is the last year for 1st December (Restoration of Independence) and 5th October (Republic implementation) holidays as part of the Troika economic measures of austerity. It is supposed to be a 5 year suspension, but it is not clear. In any case, at least the 1st December holiday is not expected to return, since it's permanence today is basically indefensible.

I'm also very much motivated by learning, here. Indeed, it's pretty much the biggest attraction of this whole endeavour. It's a joy and a privilege. So I ask you, if you have any doubt about any of my categorizations in heraldry or elsewhere, then please tell me. The exchange of ideas and opinions only makes all this more interesting, and quite often discussion is the best way to learn. -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 23:05, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

about several problems with images in my articles

Hi. I was wondering why several times free CR images were erased from my articles. How to get a permission from the owner? Thanks

--Emifercho88 (talk) 20:39, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

You need to contact the owner, following the instructions in COM:OTRS. They have to agree with publishing the images under a free license for we to host them here.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:41, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Gracias DarwIn, pero ese autor debe redactar ese permiso? es necesario lo susodicho?

--Emifercho88 (talk) 20:51, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Es necesario que la prueba de que las imágenes están con una licencia libre con permisión de su autor sea enviada para permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. O puede el mismo la enviar, o el envía a vosotros y vosotros para permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

Thanks and question

I made a muckup with the Manti Utah Temple -http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Manti_Utah_Temple_-_Jul_2008.jpg&action=history and saw you have fixed it up - thanks for that - is there anything that I should learn from that? SatuSuro (talk) 05:55, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello SatuSuro, I don't believe it was your fault at all. It's that US copyright thing with statues, which is difficult to understand. For instance, there are a lot of statues in Category:Avard Fairbanks which for unclear motives are left untouched. I suspect it has to do with the year of publication, those published before 1978 without copyright notice are safe to keep. Anyway, don't lose your sleep over it. :)

The only thing you may learn from that, if you don't know already, is that you may salvage those FOP deleted images by cropping them, if they are still usable without the copyrighted part, like this one. In some cases it's not even necessary to crop the whole thing, just the necessary to make it de minimis. -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 06:03, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation - I sometimes do some renames and duplicate operations in trepidation - like I hope its ok feeling - being Australian with a tendency to avoid statues (in the main) I suspect ants arent going to claim intellectual rights from my staring in their faces, just yet...

Coats of arms of Castile and Leon, + ??

Hi DarwIn,

Remembering our very interesting conversation, I come back with a new heraldic question.

Strange escutcheon...

Do you think you could help for identification ?

In background, we have Castile-and-Leon, ok. A (royal ?) crown, and a Golden Fleece collar.

But what is this strange blue escutcheon with five golden escutcheons ?

The style of the relief looks 18th-century, but the painting is modern, IMO.

This central escutcheon is not the "Anjou" one (no fleur-de-lys), could it be a part of the Portuguese one, with a mistake in the painting ?

I really dont know...

The pic was taken this summer in the Gardens of the Alcazar of Seville, Spain.

Thanks in advance.--Jebulon (talk) 23:18, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Categorias duplicadas

Boas Darwin. Como não conheço mais nenhum sysop por aqui, recorro a ti mais uma vez. Podes desenlear esta duplicação de cats: Category:Castle of Evoramonte e Category:Castelo de Evoramonte. Não me perguntes porque é que criei Category:Evoramonte Castle em maio, porque já não me lembro; suponho que foi porque assumi que essa forma era a normalizada/padronizada. Pelo que tenho visto, a norma é que os nomes das categorias sejam em inglês; por exemplo, na Tuquia, nos últimos meses um editor turco(!) tem andado a substituir nomes "aturcalhados" por nomes em inglês. Como não quero entrar em guerras com o Tm (talk · contribs), acho que é melhor ser alguém "com galões" a analisar o assunto. Abç. --Stegop (talk) 03:56, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Not the same picture

Hi, I saw you deleted a picture I took at the National Gallery of art in DC for copyright violation. It looks a lot like the picture you posted as a copyright violation, but it is in fact a different picture. I had never seen the other picture before so it's not like I tried to recreate it or copy it or anything, in fact it would have been impossible since that picture is dated July 10th 2012 and I took my picture when visiting DC in November 21st 2009. I'm glad there's people making sure that copyrighted works are protected. In this case however, it is not the same picture.

Inserir traduções de poemas e desbloquear um link

Olá, como vai? Já conversamos e me ajudaste no passado. Tenho recebido uma chuva de pedras por ter criado um blog para exemplificar com traduções o trabalho de poetas que biografo. Então colocaram o blog na lista negra do SPAM, o que é um absurdo, pois temos ali a intenção de divulgar conhecimento sobre a poesia do autor. Podemos não ter como provar que o blog é reconhecido internacionalmente. Afinal, quem escreve sobre blogs fora dos blogs? Não estou disposto a lutar pela justiça e para desbloquear o blog, pois estou muito doente. No entanto, gostaria de retirar, sim, o rótulo de SPAM do blog e saber como fazer para continuar inserindo na Wikipédia traduções de poema dos autores (desde que não se viole direitos autorais, claro).

Obrigado,

Olá Jorge, é bem possível que tenha razão. Ainda não percebi que estrutura é aquela, e é possível que de facto não seja o Convento da Encarnação. Se souber o que é, por favor diga-me.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 22:01, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Imagem de conhecida

Oi Darwin, eu conheço a pessoa que é autora dessa foto e foi quem a publicou. Ela deve ter errado algo no preenchimento da licença, porém ela é a proprietária dos direitos autorais da foto e queria realmente doar com todos os direitos liberados. Seria útil em artigos ligados ao Carnaval do Recife. Aproveitando, queria tb tirar uma dúvida, o File:O Galo da Madrugada Carnaval do Recife.jpg que foi licenciado pela Agência Brasil está com o link fora do ar. Isso pode de alguma forma comprometer a "verificabilidade" do material, tipo, alguém desconfiando que é falsa a declaração de que aquilo foi postado pela Agência Brasil, e portanto, é um trabalho livre? Leandro Rocha (talk) 00:36, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Olá Quintinense,

Em relação ao primeiro caso, a imagem foi carregada sem licença. Pergunte à pessoa sua conhecida que licença ela quer na publicação, que eu restauro e coloco.

No segundo caso, a resposta é sim, pode comprometer. Não seria imediato, até porque isso foi carregado pela Jurema, que tem boa reputação, mas se fosse colocado por alguém com fama de trapaceiro a imagem poderia ser eliminada por precaução, uma vez que a licença e fonte não podiam ser confirmadas. No caso dessa imagem específica eu consegui encontrar o novo link dela lá na Agência Brasil, e fiz a revisão da licença, de modo que ela agora está segura mesmo que o link desapareça. Nesses casos em que o licenciamento provém de um site externo convém sempre pedir revisão da licença com {{Licensereview}}. Coloque essa tag nos ficheiros com esse tipo de licenciamento, com uma fonte que funcione, e logo um administrador ou revisor faz a verificação.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 05:05, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Valeu Darwin, obrigado. Eu tinha pedido à Edilma para ela publicar a foto em domínio público. Basta eu perguntar a ela e dizer aqui, ou ela tem que mandar e-mail ou postar la de novo? Não seria melhor, nesses casos, simplesmente presumir a licença menos livre? Pois na pior hipótese a pessoa está doando pro Commons, ainda que com restrições, não? Não entendi bem como funciona essa {{Licensereview}}. Seria como o OTRS, alguém "de confiança" olha e põe uma tag marcando que ele verificou que a informação é verdadeira, seria isso? Abraço! Leandro Rocha (talk) 05:55, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Em relação ao {{Licensereview}}, é bem mais simples que o OTRS. Basta colocar essa tag e um link válido para a fonte e licença da imagem, que um administrador ou revisor faz a verificação, e protege a imagem de futuros questionamentos caso esse link desapareça, ou mudem a licença na origem (como a Agência Brasil já fez, inclusive).

Quanto à imagem da sua amiga, basta perguntar a ela que tipo de licença quer. Poderíamos eventualmente presumir qual seria com base em outros carregamentos correctamente licenciados que ela tivesse feito, mas não sei se isso aconteceu. Não se pode simplesmente colocar a licença menos livre, pois já tem acontecido (e não poucas vezes) gente carregar imagens aqui sem colocar licença pensando que isto é para uso não comercial, por isso é necessário realmente algum tipo de confirmação da parte do detentor dos direitos autorais.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:16, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Fui confirmar a conversa e ela me confirmou dominio público mesmo. Posso mandar a conversa pro seu e-mail pra vc conferir? Abraço! Leandro Rocha (talk) 04:19, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Olá Quintinense, restaurei as imagens carregadas por esse utilizador, e reenviei os pedidos de licenciamento. Agora é necessário que ele corrija a situação dentro do prazo. Se ele se atrapalhar com as licenças, basta escrever qual a que quer na página de discussão dele, e você mesmo coloca a licença que ele escolheu. Abraço, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 21:51, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Apesar de eu ter argumentado com esse ponto, a foto foi apagada, tida por irrelevante e sem interesse enciclopédico (contrastando com o modo como fotos semelhantes de outros países são consideradas), e a sua recuperação subsequentemente pedida foi recusada, por «falta de apoio». Estou, pois, agora alertando utilizadores brasileiros do Commons para que manifestem a sua opinião. -- Tuválkin ✉ 02:57, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Ora, vc foi mais rápido! :-) -- Tuválkin ✉ 03:01, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Eu não sou Brasileiro, né? ;)

Sinceramente não vejo grande utilidade nessa imagem, mas se achares alguma(s) semelhante(s) em outras manifestações, e que tenham utilização, eu argumento para manter.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 03:03, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Estava na dúvida se eras brasileiro ou não, hehe. -- Tuválkin ✉ 18:01, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Não, mas sou da Madeira, que é parecido. ;) -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 22:21, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Mozambique FOP

Hi, DarwIn, would you be willing to update COM:FOP#Mozambique so that it will be clearer which works are still copyrighted and which ones are already in the public domain? Thank you a lot. --Eleassar ^(t/p) 23:23, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello Eleassar, I'll do my best, using the known jurisprudence on that issue.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 00:25, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Done. I hope it is clear enough. Please feel free to suggest corrections or clarifications.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 01:22, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

RE:File:Sugar 5 - spraying

Viva, na Category:Luabo estão 21 imagens do mesmo autor. Talvez as possas juntar aa lista para eliminar,se for caso disso. Obrigado --JotaCartas (talk) 09:18, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

 Done. Esperemos que essa bendita legislação seja em breve alterada como previsto, para se poder recuperar isso tudo. Quem fez aquilo não sei onde estava com a cabeça. Um país tão pobre com leis de ricos (e de ricos patos-bravos...).-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:08, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Grandes fotos da Torre do Tombo! É pena que um país que já tem tão pouco, acabe por ficar só com imagens do tempo do colonialismo e se forem do tempo da 'maria cachucha' (1800...). Abraço. --JotaCartas (talk) 14:11, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Pois, parece bastante estúpido, não é? E ainda mais estúpido parece, se pensarmos que os moçambicanos para fazer postais de Maputo têm de pagar avenças aos antigos colonos por direitos que estes não têm nem nunca tiveram sequer em Portugal. Mas o governo moçambicano está consciente que fez asneira com essa lei, e já foram feitos uma série de estudos com vista a modifica-la (não sei se passa a incluir FOP, mas os 70 anos, por exemplo, devem passar a 50).-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 15:11, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Parada das Vacas em Porto Alegre - 2010.jpg

Paz, bem e Feliz Natal ! File:Parada das Vacas em Porto Alegre - 2010.jpg Não sei como denunciar esta imagem. Mesmo que a Agência Porto Alegre tenha liberado o uso das imagens, a legislação brasileira prevê "direito de paisagem" de obras artísticas apenas se estiverem expostas permanentemente; a Parada das Vacas foi um evento não permanente, as obras só estiveram expostas durante algumas semanas. Eugenio Hansen, OFS (talk) 10:22, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Olá Eugenio, um Feliz Natal também para si! Creio que tem razão quanto à legislação brasileira. Nestes casos o procedimento adequado é enviar a imagem para uma discussão de delecção (DR) como eu fiz, uma vez que não se trata duma violação directa e óbvia de direitos de autor. Existem inclusivamente algumas ferramentas que agilizam este procedimento, na barra da esquerda ("tools"). Abraço, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:12, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Restauro

Olá Darwin, como vai? Poderia por favor verificar isso? Leandro Rocha (talk) 04:00, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

 Done - Restaurado.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 01:35, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Valeu, Darwin, só tive como ver isso agora. Pode restaurar também essaCommons:Deletion requests/File:Talleres no Nordeste Sevens 2013.jpg? É do mesmo caso. Obrigado desde já. Leandro Rocha (talk) 22:23, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

 Done, restaurado esse também. :) -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 12:10, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Debate closure

Good day DarwIn. I wonder if you can clarify the procedure for debate closure? I along with User:JotaCartas and User:Armando Pacheco reached a consensus at Commons:Categories for discussion/2013/12/Category:Firefighters of Azores, and was wondering what has to be done to close debate, and get on with the work that was decided. Is it an automatic procedure after a certain time, or do we have to submit a request to an administrator (like yourself)? Can you direct me to the appropriate instructions? Appreciate your input. ^{ruben jc} ZEORYMER (talk) 21:25, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Good evening Zeorymer, since it seems to be a clear, non controversial consensus, I believe anyone can close it, according with the instructions at Commons:Categories for discussion. You can close it yourself, if you are willing to do it. :) Best regards, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 01:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

why

why u delete my pictures?--Sonia Sevilla (talk) 19:39, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Because unless you are a man named Muhammad Zaernia, they are not yours. They are copyrighted to another person, as can be seen here - http://www.shahraraonline.com/broadcast/519/ .-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:41, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

he gifted to me that pics.--Sonia Sevilla (talk) 19:42, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Even if he gave them to you, you can't put yourself in the authors name. In that case, nevertheless, you need to prove you have permission to publish them under that license to OTRS. Please follow the instructions in your talkpage.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:45, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

i prefer they deleted. i have not mood of emailing and following orders. i will upload my own pictures and there is no way to delete them.--Sonia Sevilla (talk) 19:49, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Ok then, your choice...-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:51, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

can u find a link of published of this pic File:November13,2013 - Muharram 9,1435 Tasu'a - Nishapur 286.JPG in other website.? surely NO! bcz 90% of my uploading is my OWN pictures,--Sonia Sevilla (talk) 20:18, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

im a good user.--Sonia Sevilla (talk) 20:22, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

I believe so, but there is a number of questions to solve regarding your uploads of images taken by third parties. Let's try to solve this at your talk page, ok?-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:25, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Paz e bem!
1 Esta imagem foi selecionada para imagem do dia em 28 fev. 2014.

2 Está descrita e categorizada em Ecce homo, mas a cena representada é anterior ao episódio Ecce homo, seria a coroação de espinhos (Jesus Christ being crowned with thorns).

3 Ecce homo é a apresentação que Pôncio Pilatos faz ao povo depois que Jesus é flagelado e coroado de espinhos, a representação é com Jesus em pé, com coroa de espinhos e com manto.

4 A imagem selecionada em português também e denominada de Jesus da cana verde.

5 Passo estas informações pra ti pois como é uma imagem do dia e meu inglês é muito ruim não ouso alterar as informações da mesma.

Rename to a category

Hi DarwIn! I made a mistake when I created 8 six rays argent in heraldry instead of Category:8 six rays argent in heraldry. Please, would you help me to rename it? Thanks in advance!.--Duche de Cleves (talk) 16:22, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Pedido: Eliminação de uma página da Wikipédia

Por favor: Existe uma página muito suspeita na Wikipédia: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:P%C3%A1ginas_para_eliminar/Olavo_de_Carvalho

Está escrito:

“

Votação cancelada. Motivo: WP:POV - sock puppetry. Para mais informações, ver Política de eliminação. Leandro Martinez msg 12h50min de 15 de fevereiro de 2011 (UTC)

”

“

WP:3 Falha no critério de notoriedade acadêmica. A página em questão não tem terceiras fontes confiáveis. Todas as informações se baseiam no próprio website do biografado. 189.55.131.66 (discussão) 04h14min de 15 de fevereiro de 2011 (UTC)

”

Objetivamente eu quero uma nova votação, que na verdade nunca aconteceu, porque a votação foi bloqueada, para discutir se o verbete sobre o Olavo de Carvalho deve ser mantido na Wikipédia.

O Olavo de Carvalho não é professor universitário e não possui diploma de Filosofia. As fontes citadas, pelo menos no verbete da Wikipédia em inglês, não são fiáveis. Está escrito na Wikipédia em inglês que o Olavo possui interesse pela psicologia, mas o Olavo criticou uma decisão do Conselho Regional de Psicologia do Paraná. Existem muitos problemas envolvendo o verbete sobre o Olavo de Carvalho na Wikipédia.

Atesto votos de elevada estima e consideração.

Support request with team editing experiment project

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion 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 them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Copyright status: File:Antigo edifício da Associação Comercial e café Kit-Kat na Entrada da Cidade, 1935.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Antigo edifício da Associação Comercial e café Kit-Kat na Entrada da Cidade, 1935.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.

• File:Igreja de Santo António antes de 1928, Funchal.jpg
• File:Igreja de Santo António depois de 1928.jpg

I removed {{PD-old-70}}, {{PD-old}} or similar templates from the files whose authors who died less then 70 years ago. Now the files have no license and unless it is fixed will be deleted in a week. If you know of other reason why those files are in public domain please feel free to add a new license template and alert me and I will remove {{No license}} tag. If you have any questions please check my FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Yours sincerely, Jarekt (talk) 12:18, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello Jarekt, I fixed all the licenses. I would like to remark, however, that none of those files had an "author". They were all produced by a company. According to the Portuguese law, those cases are treated similarly as if they had no known author. I would advice against doing this kind of screening automatically for files related to Portugal, or else a lot of legitimate files could be deleted by the cleaners within just a single week.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 15:16, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out. The Creator is labeled as "corporation" and I should not use date of death for corporation the same way I do for regular authors. --Jarekt (talk) 16:37, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

help images screenshot pt wikipedia

Ciao DarwIn, ti chiamo perché avrei bisogno di un aiuto sul wikipedia portoghese e purtroppo io non parlo portoghese, forse sei la mia unica speranza ma vengo subito al dunque: vorrei pubblicare 2 immagini su un qualsiasi wikipedia e già ho visto che in altre non è possibile per la legislazione invece in altre come enwiki o quella italiana purtroppo non c'è spazio, mi è rimasta quella portoghese e le 2 immagini sono:

• questo screenshot preso da questo documentario (*) e
• questo screenshot preso invece da quest'altro documentario (*)

purtroppo penso che forse queste 2 immagini per essere pubblicate, come tu già saprai, devono avere le pagine corrispondenti altrimenti diventano immagini orfane e di conseguenza, credo che, vengono cancellate. Quindi devo chiederti anche, purtroppo, se puoi creare anche le 2 pagine corrispondenti... ma credo che non sia obbligatorio farle con molti contenuti ad esempio nel wikipedia francese questa e quest'altra pagina sono molto ristrette, credo che potresti farle simili a queste tanto a me interessa solo le 2 immagini. Pensi di poterci riuscire? Io spero di si Smitersleon (talk) 13:44, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
