•  Support Useful and a pretty picture, but I feel impelled to ask: How many ships are there in the world today? If each of them merits its own scope, are we potentially talking about tens of thousands of scopes for ships? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:35, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment @Ikan Kekek: There are about 55,000 commercial ships in the world. However, Commons is a small depository for ship images and there are even few Valued images of ships - to date approximately 100. If there were 1000 in five years, I would be surprised. A step forward might be to define Domain-specific scope guidelines (COM:VIS) for ships similar to animals and plants. --GRDN711 (talk) 07:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

File:Kampen, Eiltank 39 D 04804490. 28-02-2022. (actm.) 01.jpg

Good evening GRDN711, Thanks for the comment on my photo. I have tried to get further details of the ship via the internet. By searching, among other things, on the ENI number 04804490 and the EU Number 2324686. I can't get any further with the name of the ship either. What is wisdom? Greetings, --Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 15:15, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello Agnes Monkelbaan: As this ship is a small inland tanker, mostly sailing in European canals and waterways, it tends to be referenced by MMSI, ENI and EU numbers, even call sign. However, it has a relatively unique name, and if you just do a Google search on "EILTANK 39", image and site references pop up. There are references to its IMO number (generally considered the best as a unique identifier of the hull when built that does not changef over time). While there are IMO references in some commercial sites like Fleetmon and MarineTraffic, a user site that is both comprehensive and quite accurate is Shipspottingdotcom. There are images going back to 2000 when it was named the "Van Gogh". Another Dutch site for ship collections is De Binnenvaartshipen. --GRDN711 (talk) 16:29, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

• Thanks for your information. If I understood correctly I should add DC2786 to the category. Is that right?--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:55, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

  Hello Agnes:

  “DC2786” is the callsign for the radio on the EILTNAK 39. While it is part of the ship information, it can be moved with the radio or re-assigned. The IMO # is the best unique identifier of the ship.

  When a new ship is added to Commons, there are two steps taken.

  1: Create “Category:IMO #######” as a sub-category under parent category “Category:Ships by IMO number”.

  The IMO # is assigned to the hull of the ship when built, never changes. It is a unique descriptor and more universal among ships than MMSI, ENI, EU or Callsign numbers which the ship may also have.

  2: Create “Category:Ship’s Name (ship, build year)” as a sub-category of “Category:IMO #######”

  Ships can have different names at different times in its useful shipping life but only one name at a time. This one has had 4 different names over its shipping life to date.

  Note sure if you are aware of this, but there are 8 other similar ships to this one named "Eiltank" with different numbers (Look up under Commons Category:Ships by Name).

  Once you have done these two steps, typically another User from Wikidata will create corresponding Wikidata items for the ship data (MMSI, ENI, EU or Callsign numbers; GWT, home port etc.) which will show up as info boxes in these two categories. If you want to, you can do this as well but you don’t have to.

  I did not make up with this system. it’s just the way Commons organizes ships. It is quite logical and has been in use for many years. An example is an image of the Icelandic tugboat Leynir.

  I have taken the liberty of creating Category:IMO 9156967 under parent category “Category:Ships by IMO number” and then creating Category:Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000) as a sub-category under Category:IMO 9156967. I have assigned your image of the “EILTANK 39” to Category:Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000).

  Through the VI scope as follows, the claim becomes that this ship is the most valued image in Commons of this ship by name. Through the image, the ship name is connected to the unique IMO 9156967 even if more ships with that name exist.

  |scope=Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000)

  The scope format I prefer is the following because the ships name category is referenced directly to its unique IMO #. The VI claim becomes that this is the most valued image in Commons of this specific ship of this name. So far I have yet to convince many that this is best scope format :).

  |scope=Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000) - IMO 9156967

  Best,

  Gordon GRDN711 (talk) 04:40, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

• Good evening GRDN711, Sorry for my late response. Internet has been down for us all day. Your explanation is very complicated for me. That's because I don't speak the English language. Would you mind creating the category for me? Or is that a lot of work for you too? Many thanks in advance. Please let me know. Greetings from Friesland in the north of the Netherlands.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 17:28, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

  Hello Agnes:

  Sorry - I did not mean to confuse.

  I have created both categories - Category:IMO 9156967 under parent category “Category:Ships by IMO number” and then Category:Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000) as a sub-category under “Category:IMO 9156967”. Your ship image is now categorized correcctly in Category:Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000).

  All you have to do is modify your VI scope – suggest “Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000)” and link it to Category:Eiltank 39 (ship, 2000).

  Best,

  Gordon GRDN711 (talk) 22:21, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

• Good evening Gordon, Great that you did that for me. I have since changed the VI scope. Thank you very much for all your effort. Greetings,--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 16:04, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Apparently, it does not (must be done manually) and I cannot re-create nor access it. Basically, previous reviews were mostly comments by me in an MVR on why I felt this image better illustrated the model versus an image nominated by Spurzem. After discussion, I decided to withdraw the MVR and nominate both Spurzem's and this image on their own for general review. --GRDN711 (talk) 06:07, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Thank you for your review, Spurzem. I have uploaded a new version with lightened shadows to show more detail.

My VI scope claim, is that this is the most valuable image of this specific ship by name in Commons without limitation to a view sub-scope. It is slightly to the front but also shows the full ship along the side well. There are only 8 images of this ship in Commons, and while one of them is a profile, I am nominating this one as being a better image. In bird or animal terms, my VI claim is being the best of species, rather than a sub-species. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:34, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

review

•  Comment As a point of style, I don't think we should use postal abbreviations for U.S. states in scopes, so I'd suggest just ending with "Maryland," but I also think File:2021-06-27 02b Smith Island, MD USA - WikiV banner.jpg is best in scope. Why not? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:35, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
•  Info Have added “Maryland” to scope but kept the 3-digit ISO code “USA” at the end as Commons is a world-wide platform and not everyone knows where the state is.

I uploaded 02a as a multi-image panorama, then made a 7:1 ratio crop to form 02b specifically to meet the banner requirements of Wikivoyage. It was subsequently used in the WikiV topic of “Smith Island”. While both 02a and 02b meet the scope requirements, my thinking is that 02b is a derivative and use case for the nominated 02a panorama from which it came. --GRDN711 (talk) 17:08, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

My reasoning on which image is more useful for use in online articles is that the only difference between the original and the Wikivoyage banner is more water and sky. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Info I appreciate your perspective for image utilization but let me offer you a another one. The 7:1 crop ratio of 02b looks good in Wikivoyage but being so long and narrow, it is rather extreme and atypical.

Given that someone was looking for a panorama image of Ewell Harbor, 02b is available and linked to 02a, but I doubt that they would opt for something cropped that tight. I am not stuck on this, but my original thinking in nominating 02a, was that the extra water and sky would allow more flexibility in cropping to a shorter 5:1 or 6:1 ratio to fit the space they have, encouraging more utilization on different online platforms. --GRDN711 (talk) 04:44, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Info Palauenc05 Archaeodontosaurus In this nomination, I had some self-debate on using “port side” versus “left side” in the scope. I wasn’t sure everyone would be comfortable with the nautical bow-stern-port-starboard terms. My compromise was to put the more universally understood “left side” in the scope but include “port side” in the reason for nominating.

In VI nominations for other vehicle transport, the sub-scopes are usually defined in terms of front-back-right-left relative to the front of the vehicle, rather than driver side; passenger side.

Still, I accept your point and have tried to split the difference one more time at “port (left) side”. --GRDN711 (talk) 17:36, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Sorry, but the new scope is redundant as "port" is always the left side of a ship. Hence, the scope is too wordy. Superfluous words should be avoided. --Palauenc05 (talk) 07:39, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Question Agree with you, User:Palauenc05, on superfluous words. Currently there is not, but if there were COM:VIS domain-specific guidelines for ships, I assume you would favor the nautical terminology of bow-stern-port-starboard views.

In other transport like cars, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, I see view sub-scopes of “front-left” and “back-left” (along with “front”, “back”, “front-left”, “back-left”, “left profile”, right profile”) for full vehicle images, and this does not count the sub-scopes for key vehicle parts.

Would you be in favor of “front-port” as best describing the view of this ship image, or do you favor just 4 view sub-scopes for marine images? --GRDN711 (talk) 15:39, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Fishing boat Schtroumpf in Port d Erquy

Hi GRDN711: Thank you very much for your details about my Schtroumpf (ship, 1969), in Port d Erquy. I went back to the file history of both images and reverted them to the previous version, although the image quality is not very good.

I used the Lumix DMC-TZ60, which was mainly used for geolocation, but my camera had manufacturing defects (like other user friends). Since then I have been using a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V camera. For post-processing editing, I'm working using GIMP, or Rawtherapie 5.8, I'll be adjusting to 4-bit color depth instead of 8-bit.

Better, --Pierre André ^(talk) 08:46, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Fishing boat Schtroumpf in Port d Erquy

Hello Pierre André:

Just to be clear, I do not know what is going on in this image, but something is amiss in either the resolution or post-processing.

What I see in this image, even at the VI low-res view, are big, blocky pixels that can be associated with very low-resolution image or some odd post-processing like JPEG compression or a lack of color depth.

Most images will have a color depth of 8 bits or higher. If somehow you were exporting your image with a atypical low color depth of 4 bits, this could cause the big, blocky artifacts visible in this image.

Definitely a good idea to use your new camera - it is the better one.

Best,

•  Comment Thank you for the review, Charles.
  

Uploaded a new version where all post-processing was re-set to the original imported into Lightroom. Applied a lens correction (standard for all my images and has little effect on color). Cropped tighter to the bird and applied a light overall sharpening. The result is a little less saturated than the previous version but not much.

The Sian Ka'an Biosphere, just off the Gulf, is a good source of shrimp that is a significant portion of this spoonbill's diet and the source of carotenoid colorant that creates the pink color. Also, the angle of the sun behind the bird may be contributing to the pink perception with the wings partially in the shade. The area behind the bird’s head is a clean white. There are a limited number of colors in this image but the histogram is normal and the gamma straight at 45 degrees. I did have a skylight UV filter on the lens but not a polarizer. I am reasonably sure this is, or is close to, the actual coloration of this roseate spoonbill. --GRDN711 (talk) 01:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Support OK, it's the UV filter that has led to the sky colour. I would recommend it for wildlife. The bird itself is OK. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:01, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Thank you, Ikan, for the wording note (corrected). I must have been thinking about the money I do not have when I really meant “dispersed” as in distributed or spread over a wide area.
  

Winter Harbor is indeed spread out. The image you reference does not show much of the town but primarily shows the ferry dock in Henry Cove to the east. This is where you catch the local ferry to Bar Harbor, or sight seeing boats to Petit Manan. There is also a separate commercial harbor for fishing boats and the fishing cooperative. A small main street of two blocks of stores and restaurants is partially shown on the left. IMO, this nomination best shows most of Winter Harbor as a collection of homes, cottages, B&Bs, the post office, boat launch facilities and three restaurants. It was taken from the ferry dock without benefit of a drone. --GRDN711 (talk) 13:10, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Read this message in your language

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth 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 (2022) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Sorry, I missed the deadline for supporting your VI submission. I have takne the liberty of reformatting your description - it is my view that if I cannot find information about the subject in Wikipeia, then the description needs to be reasonably detailed. If you are happy with the changes that I made to your description, resubmit it and I will support it. (Please ping me). Martinvl (talk) 17:10, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, Martinvl, for your description suggestons. They are definitely an improvement.

I have reviewed and re-nominated the image for VI.

review

•  Question Would a better scope be Aqua Star Nelson 42' Pilot? Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:04, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment IMHO, as a scope, “Aqua Star Nelson 42' Pilot” would be too wide and not represent the image. The “Nelson 42’ Pilot” model built by Aqua Star Guernsey UK refers only to the molded glass reinforced plastic (GRP) hull that was turned over to the builder, Goodchild Marine Services of Burgh Castle, for completion. Based on direction from the Dover UK Harbor Board, they added all the extra components from engines to communications to livery; in completing this purpose-built pilot and harbor boat. My current scope supports the VI nomination that this image is the most valuable of the starboard view of this specific workboat in Commons. --GRDN711 (talk) 22:20, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment The scope is okay, though consider "starboard rear ..." as more accurate. Is there a small CCW tilt? The image is used, I'll support it after responses. --Tagooty (talk) 03:24, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment Hard to know if this boat is tilted in a rough sea as it is running over a swell. Still, did a small tilt adjustment to make the antennae more vertical and I think this helps.

On the issue of scope, this view is primarily of the right (starboard) side. By being slightly towards the back, it presents the best three-dimensional view of the ship from the starboard side and shows the ship in full detail.

I am reluctant to get into more sub-scope variants than the four sides - port-starboard-bow-stern, as I think it makes ship sub-scopes unnecessarily complicated. I would be willing to drop the view sub-scope entirely and make this a VI nomination as the most valuable of this ship-by-name with “scope=Dovorian (ship, 2006) - MMSI 235037385”. Please let me know your thoughts on this. --GRDN711 (talk) 19:21, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

MVR

I have just notice you have two oppose votes on Black-cowled oriole MVR. Easily done :) Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:03, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Charles:

Sorry for the slow response - have been traveling and not always connected to the internet.

I thought the first oppose was for the original VI nomination and the second oppose was for separate MVR. It appears the MVR was still hanging around since April and I responded twice. Will delete the second one.

You already have a VI fror "Icterus prosthemelas prosthemelas (Black-cowled oriole) showing chest feathers.

Two points - still disagree with you that different view of feathers are an acceptable sub-scope for the species/sub-species. Feather color and placement is a function of the definition of the species no matter what angle the bird is viewed from and does not represent a valid sub-scope. It would not be a Black-cowled oriole if the feathers weren't colored in a defined manner, front and back. I know you disagree with me on this but I believe it is a valid approach with birds - sub-scopes must represent unique habits, not feather color already defined by the defintinion of the species/sub-species.

The second is that I am very ready for an overhaul of the VI and MVR voting procedure and software. Do you think there is any chance of this happening? VI is not that much different in voting from QI - could we not adapt their software for VI?

Best,

•  Comment Unfortunately, in the Welland Canal, it is difficult to find a good location where you can get a relatively unobstructed view of the ship, except with a drone (don't have that). The ship further adds to the complexity, being a 700-foot long ore carrier. This is the best I have. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:26, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Beste Gordon,

Dear Gordon, I received an email from you about Category:ENI: 02208736. Thank you very much, but I don't know exactly what it's about. Because I do not master the English language.
Greetings,--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 17:35, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Agnes:

When you created "Category:ENI: 02208736" for your De Alde Feanen ship images, there was an extra hyphen (:) after ENI. The result of the extra hypen was that this category did not list correctly as a sub-category under the parent Category:Vessels by ENI number.

Rather than try to explain all that (Commons is far too complicated, as is life...), I went ahead and created "Category:ENI 02208736" (no hyphen after ENI); made sure it linked correctly under the parent Category:Vessels by ENI number (does) and moved your ship images into it.

I then left a message at "Category:ENI: 02208736" seeking to have an admin get rid of this extra redundant category, not relaizing that it would go to you.

At any rate - all in fine now with yout ENI category for your De Alde Feanen ship.

Best,

Gordon GRDN711 (talk) 17:55, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Good evening Gordon,
hank you very much for the great work you have done for me. I am very happy with that

review

•  OpposeI don't nominate front-on insect pictures for VI. They have less EV. I think side-on and dorsal are quite enough. There are no VIs because it is impossible for anyone to go through every image when there are 400+ to choose from. With so many FPs, who needs a VI? Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Support As that is the VI scope guideline interpretation by Archaeodontosaurus. It seems inconsistent with the discussion we had some time back when my 'showing front feathers' and 'showing back feathers' nominations were challenged with the argument that we should generally only have one scope per species. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:20, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

• •  Comment Charles - your decision not to nominate front-on insect images is your personal choice. As a view, as long as the image shows the species well, head-on is no different than the underside, ventral or dorsal views you tend to favor.
    
  • I nominated this image by User:Ermell for VI as being exceptionally well done using a novel focus-stacking technique that allows for sharp detail and depth of field in the head, gossamer wings, legs, thorax and abdomen. All of this, where the insect that may be moving slightly, or being blown gently in the wind.
    
  • Yes, I did note that this dragonfly was photogenic but images at this frontal viewpoint are less than ten and easy to distinguish.
    
  • Each of the ratings systems, QI FP VI, has their own unique purpose and criteria. Success in one rating does not preclude further image success in another. If an image meets the criteria by consensus of the reviewers, there is no reason that it cannot have all three QI VI FP ratings, as do several of your own images. --GRDN711 (talk) 00:58, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Wrong ship name

Hi Gordon, det is not Sailor, I will rename this file today: . Det is Andrea, registered in Reykjavik. Ship lettering on the stern is clearly visible in this picture ANDREA REYKJAVIK. Why SAILOR? Thanks, PjotrMahh1 (talk) 04:42, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello PjotrMahh1 - thank you for your careful review of my image. You are right - the image is the wrong ship. Fortunately, I have another of the right "Sailor (ship, 1979)" and have uploaded that as a replacement. That should take care of the issue. All the other details are correct.

Thank you once again for your help on this. GRDN711 (talk) 13:53, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

• Well, but we need your photograph of Andrea, too (Andrea is missing now). Can you upload this file again? Can you tell me if the site Sailor (ship, 1979) was empty at the moment you have uploaded your photo. Hungarian ship Sailor, built in 1979, should have been there. Was the photograph deleted? Thank you, --PjotrMahh1 (talk) 20:48, 15 March 2024 (UTC) Don't answer, I found these photos, and I know who did it. Det is absolut. Eine Katastrophe! See rules:
  • If there are several ships with the same name built in the same year, the place where the ship was built/location of the shipyard is added: "<name of ship> (ship, <year>, <place>)".

Sample: "Mistral (ship, 1999, Saint-Nazaire)" as there are several Mistral (ship, 1999). In the rare case that there are several ships with the same name built the same year at the same place, the yard number is also added: "<name of ship> (ship, <year>, <place>, <yard number>)". Sample: "Stena Transporter (ship, 1978, Ulsan, 649)" and Stena Transporter (ship, 1978, Ulsan, 651).

• • • Please, make new categories 'ship by name' properly: templates: italic title, IMOcat, Wikidata Infobox above, and categories in this order IMO, call sign, MMSI, Type of ship and country from, ship registered, ship by name (flat list) below. IMO cat - templates IMO, Wikidata Infobox above, and categories only: 'Ship built in yard' and 'Ship built in year', 'Ship scrapped in year', 'Ship scrapped in place', below.

Hello PjotrMahh1:

"Well, but we need your photograph of Andrea, too (Andrea is missing now). Can you upload this file again?"

I will upload my image of Andrea shortly, but nothing is missing by my observation. There is an existing Andrea ship sub-Category:Andrea (ship, 1972), under parent category Category:IMO 7222231 with 5 images currently in it (mine will be the 6th). Everything seems fine.

I understand your comments concerning Commons organization of ships.

The sub-Category:Sailor (ship, 1979) was existing when I found it and placed correctly under the parent category - Category:IMO 7222231 as its universal identifying number.

Congratulations on resolving the issue of the 4 images of ships also named Sailor that were not tour boat SAILOR - IMO 7811240 by creating a new category for them.

Best,

Gordon GRDN711 (talk) 01:30, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

• Hello Gordon. Yes, it was another MV (motor vessel) Sailor, Moskva-class trip boat in Budapest, built in Moscow Yard (Soviet Union), in 1979 too. Thank you for two Andrea-photos reload of today (16.03.2024) because the one of them was removed by Sailor of 15 March 2024. Everything seems to be OK now.

Coordinates, Spiekeroog and my image of Suaeda maritima

Hi GRDN711, I have owned a camera that provides GPS data only since late in August 2015 and I try to provide coordinates for most of my newer photos that are not from a guided tour. I upload as many of my plant photos to Commons as I can in my spare time and most of my photos taken between 2008 to 2023 are on Commons already. At the moment, most of my uploaded images (and most of my quality image candidates) are from 2007 and I have the intention to continue uploading earlier digital photos until I am either dead or disabled or until the earliest digital photos from 2002 are also on Commons, provided their quality is not too poor. There are hardly any coordinates for these. I cannot and I will not promise that I will always write something about the habitat to the description. There is a lot of metadata already and I am not a professional botanist.
Spiekeroog is one of the East Frisian Islands and basically a large pile of sand. The highest elevation is about 24 m above sea level, because sand dunes that are too high will erode. However, even if the sea level rises dramatically, these islands are unlikely to vanish because they will continue rising. The area between the island and the continent is muddy, the Wadden Sea, which should be only accessed accompanied by an experienced leader. The northern shore is mostly a lot of sandy beach. Suaeda maritima is a salt-tolerant species that grows in muddy, temporarily inundated areas. This is atypical for the northern shore, where I found it. However, there were some small areas that were sufficiently low to get flooded by tide and some tidal creeks. This plant grew on one of these muddy spots. The base of the photographed plant was still wet from sea water. Best wishes --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 23:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

I just corrected my text. Spiekeroog is one of the East Frisian Islands, because it is German. The West Frisian Islands belong to the Netherlands. Sorry. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 21:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Robert:

Thank you for your query.

There are many bad images in Commons, and at some point Wikimedia Commons may reach the point when the cost of server space becomes an issue and Commons has to make hard decisions as to what media to keep online and what to toss or move to off-line storage.

To that end, when I see a good image come along in QI/FP/VI ratings, I like to make sure it is well-documented, including a possible home in Wikipedia article or some other Wiki, so that its value to the Wiki world is enhanced and it remains valued in Commons for a long, long time.

Your image of Suaeda maritima is not a pretty picture but perfectly illustrates the type of environment that this salt-tolerant species is found adn should be valued for this species.

While Commons generally encourages a one-line description during image upload, more can be added later. I was looking for just an extra sentence or two about the growing environment that your image was found in. As you wrote most eloquently to that point in your response above, I would just add the second paragraph - "Spiekeroog is one of…. still wet from sea water" to the image description. I would be happy to do this for your if you wish. Please let me know.

GPS coordinates associated by the photographer with plant and animal species images, add value to that image forever.

For adding GPS coordinates to an image, I use Lightroom for non-GPS images that lets me find the spot in a Google Maps page within Lightroom and record the GPS coordinates into the image meta data. The GPS coordinates get uploaded to Commons with the image and are automatically recorded in the image description.

If you don't have Lightroom or similar, this can be done manually using Google Maps online and the Commons location template. Using the internet version of Google Maps, find the location where you believe the image was taken (doesn't have to be perfect, just close). Click on the spot and Google will put a red pin there. Right click on the pin and Google lets you copy the GPS coordinates of the pin in decimal format to the clipboard. Then place the location at the bottom of the image description using the Location template.

Camera location	32° 04′ 50.93″ N, 81° 04′ 58.73″ W	View all coordinates using: OpenStreetMap

(camera location in GPS coordinates - default.)

Object location	45° 34′ 09.98″ N, 10° 14′ 33.65″ E	View all coordinates using: OpenStreetMap

(object location in GPS coordinates.)

REM: To geocode an uploaded Commons image, place GPS coordinates (5 decimal places only in decimal format) with a straight spacer ( | ) separator at the bottom of the image description. The image location can now be found in the Commons Map.

Hope this helps,

Gordon GRDN711 (talk) 15:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Deletion of files does not free any space on the servers, because nothing is really deleted. Deleted files are just hidden from ordinary users, not from administrators. I understand if someone nominates some of my images for deletion if they are really bad, but hardly because of lack of information. There are many images of organisms without any identification or even without a clue where in the world they were taken. Even these are generally kept, not deleted, though their usefulness may be rather questionable.
I have absolutely no problem adding coordinates to a Commons image and I know http://tools.freeside.sk/geolocator/geolocator.html, which is very useful IMO if I know an approximate location, but just adding wildly guessed coordinates does not make any sense in this case, except if I wanted to nominate the image for VI. I have not got Lightroom.
This is a wiki, not my private web page. So if something really important about this image is missing (not about the island), then please feel free to add this information. However, Commons is not an encyclopedia. The addition of large amounts of very general encyclopedic information is clearly not the purpose of a description. Therefore, please do not write all that basic stuff about the island to the description, because this should be on Wikipedia, not in the description of an image. My text above is just an explanation for you. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 17:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Robert:

Totally agree on "There are many images of organisms without any identification or even without a clue where in the world they were taken."

Unless elements in the image can be identified visually, the image becomes almost worthless without further supporting identification for context. This case becomes more so as the years pass.

IMHO, particularly for animal and plant species that tend to be rather obscure, the following are needed:

· A well-chosen file name.

· Correct and complete categorization.

· A good verbal description.

· GPS coordinates, if possible.

For your image, using the more user-friendly Google Maps method took me about 15 seconds to get GPS coordinates of 53.78107 | 7.69976 for your image. As the originating photographer, you may be able to place the Google pin more precisely but lacking else, this method of adding GPS coordinates works to place the image within a few miles of exact location which is good enough. As I Google-searched on "Spiekeroog", there was no mix-up between West and East Friesen. GPS coordinates support a well-written word description of the image location.

I only make this case for images that I think have a long term future in Commons and Wikipedia. - Gordon Leggett GRDN711 (talk) 02:28, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

If I needed to add speculative coordinates that are accurate within less than a mile, I might chose something like 53.78028 | 7.72461 with template {{location estimated}}. However, at least in my opinion, this is no really necessary or even remotely useful information. I have no idea where you could find the plant now on the north beach in a similar habitat, except that I suspect that it might be far away in eastern direction. So let's agree to disagree on this one. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 07:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

I would be grateful if you could make new reviews under the new scope. Thank you in advance and wishing you a pleasant day! -- Giles Laurent (talk) 15:18, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Giles:

Thanks for the individual email but an equally effective way (and less work for you) is to include a multi-ping statement to all suitable parties at the front of your scope changed comment.

Most reviewers are watchful of their past reviews, but this will bring their attention back to your image.

2022 Picture of the Year: Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) in Nepal.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth 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 (2023) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

•  Comment At first, Charles, I was reluctant to change the image as I liked the flow of the rocks below the statue but after trying a tighter crop, think you are right. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:26, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Gordon, definite FP potential. Half way up on the right - is there pixelation in the sky? I would also alter tone to make it a little less foggy overall and to brighten up the yellow hull, but of course that may be how you like it. Or wait and see what people think. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, Charles, for your insight.

Half-way up on the right is not pixelation but the land mass of Harrison Island and Mcaulay Point Park on the southern end of Esquimalt (perspective is a little compressed by the 400 mm lens). Victoria Harbor opens on the left to the Salish Sea (and from there to the Pacific Ocean). This is where you can see the Evergreen container ship, Ever Ready, anchored and riding out the weather.

On the left is also where all the wind is coming from. It’s not fog that adds the misty look. It’s spindrift off the waves and rain moving sideways...

There has been no significant manipulation, and the image is much how it came out of my camera. I think you are right that it might benefit from a little tonal tuning by boosting the clarity and perhaps dehaze slightly. However, I am going to leave it for now as this image is in the middle of FP voting. Will implement your suggestion afterwards.

Best,

Gordon GRDN711 (talk) 00:27, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
