		🌟 Happy Holidays, Giles! 🌟
		The turn of the year is approaching and with it the time for reflection. Let's take a moment and reflect a little. It is a time of festivals of light, from Hanukkah to Yule to Christmas, and in many cultures and religions it is a time of holidays, sometimes also family celebrations. And let's not forget that, according to our calendar, the new year is just around the corner. I wish you all: Joyeux Noël • Priecigus Ziemassvetkus • Fröhliche Weihnachten • Linksmu Kaledu • Merry Christmas • Il-Milied It-Tajjeb • Chestita Koleda • Vrolijk Kerstfeest • Glædelig Jul • Wesolych Swiat Bozego Narodzenia • Feliz Navidad • Feliz Natal • Roomsaid Joulu Puhi • Craciun Fericit • Iloista Joulua • Veselé Vianoce • Kala Christouyenna • Vesel Bozic • Kellemes Karácsonyi Ünnepeket • God Jul • Nollaig Shona Duit • Veselé Vánoce • Buon Natale • Mo’adim Lesimkha • I’D Miilad Said • Kung His Hsin Nien • Krismas Njema Na Heri    -- Dietmar (aka XRay) talk 08:00, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Photographie du Lion

Bonjour Gilles, je vois que vous avez remplacé ma photo du Lion sur le wikipedia français. J'entends vos arguments mais je ne partage pas votre point de vue concernant la luminosité. Je pourrais à mon tour supprimer la votre en disant que la mienne est plus ancienne et trouver des arguments en sa faveur (couleurs plus intéressantes car fin de journée, pattes visibles, meilleure expression etc...) Je trouve ça un peu regrettable de ne pas avoir échangé avec moi directement pour en discuter. Cordialement. --Clément Bardot (talk) 08:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Bonjour ! J'ai principalement remplacé l'image car il s'agissait d'un animal en captivité. Les animaux en captivité ne sont souvent pas représentatifs d'espèces sauvages (différence d'âge maximal et donc d'apparence, cicatrices de combats, évolution différente de certains attributs selon les espèces, etc.). De plus, le milieu dans lequel des animaux en captivité sont photographiés est souvent artificiel (surtout dans les zoos) et ne correspond pas à celui dans lequel un animal en liberté vit. Le lion étant en plus une espèce aujourd'hui classée vulnérable, je trouvais d'autant plus dommage que l'image principale représentait un animal en captivité. Certains ne se documentent que sur Wikipédia et une espèce sauvage ne devrait à mon avis pas avoir comme illustration principale un animal en captivité (sauf si aucune autre image ne devait exister). C'est pour ces raisons (ainsi que la lumière sur les yeux) que j'ai remplacé l'ancienne image principale.

Une photographie d'un lion en captivité dans un zoo peut toutefois être utile à certains égards, c'est pourquoi j'ai conservé votre photo sur l'article en la plaçant dans la section zoo.

Je n'ai pas spécialement prêté attention à qui était l'auteur de l'ancienne photographie dans la mesure où cet élément n'était pour moi pas déterminant pour remplacer l'image. J'entends toutefois que vous auriez préféré en discuter en amont. À l'avenir si je devais remplacer une autre image je regarderai qui est l'auteur et si je constate que c'est vous je vous contacterai.

En vous souhaitant une agréable journée, --Giles Laurent (talk) 09:35, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

• Will be great image for 'ghillie suit scope, not as written. Taking pictures should be removed as it doesn't add to scope and subject cannot be taking wildlife pictures with a photographer standing in front of him! Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

When this picture was taken, the subject was in fact taking pictures of small birds perched on branches and the birds didn't seem to see the subject. But the main goal of that day was to search for a wolf pack that had been seen multiple times in the area during the previous weeks. So I think the scope is correct on the "taking pictures" matter. But if needed I can change the "camouflage clothing" bit to "a ghillie suit" as it is more precise on the type of clothing. So do you think "Wildlife photographer wearing a ghillie suit, taking pictures" would be better than "Wildlife photographer wearing camouflage clothing, taking pictures" ? -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Excellent image – fine for QI, and congratulations on FP. Unfortunately, IMHO the scope of an individual lion named Snyggve (sadly now passed) is much too narrow for a VI nomination.
  

Per COM:VIS guidance on scopes for animals - one VI per species is the norm (OK on that); and/or sub-species (fine for additional VIs on those as well); with separate sub-scopes for identifiable adult, cub, male, female etc. (fine there too); various animal behaviors - in chase of prey, fighting, mating etc. (fine on all those as well).

A scope that represents an individual lion-by-specific-name does not represent “a generic field or category within which your image is the most valuable example” per COM:VIS. It is a description of what your image represents but is too narrow as a VI scope. Can you find a better scope within the dozen or so possibilities above that Snyggve (now sadly passed) might represent? --GRDN711 (talk) 00:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

The thing is that Snyggve (and Tryggve) is a quite famous lion : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. Just like famous persons (like recent VIC nominations) can have a scope for themselves, I think a famous animal like this one should also be able to have it. This lion is indeed quite famous and the scope would allow someone wanting to do a search query to directly find it. In the light of these elements, don't you think the current scope could fit @GRDN711? If not, please tell me what you think of these alternative scope suggestions : "Panthera leo (lion), sitting" (almost no other image of a lion sitting, only lying), "Panthera leo (lion), scanning the horizon" or "Panthera leo (lion), looking at vultures". Thank you in advance for your answer. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 16:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

 Comment Being temporarily famous may be important for the human imagination but lions do not care. Notoriety is not associated with lion classification or behavior. Also, sadly, some of your references are obituary notices for Snyggve aka Bob….

One scope related to lion behavior that comes to mind is “Panthera leo (lion) - dominant adult male protecting pride territory”. I have yet to review the 200 images in your scope link category for other images that would also meet this scope definition, but this or something similar might be considered. --GRDN711 (talk) 23:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Lions do not care but it is humans that use commons and care. I think that if a lion is that famous that even BBC, Whashington Post and many many other medias talk about it, this particular lion should deserve its own scope just like there is one scope for every notorious human. If a lion is famous, it is known and people that know it will want to search directly for it. Anyway, thank you for your scope suggestion, I edited the scope to use it. (I think "Panthera leo (lion), male sitting" could fit too as there is only 2-3 lions sitting (and not lying) in the gallery).

•  Support with revised scope. While there are others, image quality for an image taken in the wild is excellent. This lion looks both regal and watchful in a way that is better than others. --GRDN711 (talk) 18:21, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
•  Comment The scope is ok. The image does not depict the behaviour "protecting", no signs of an intruder or of aggression. There are dozens of similar images of lions standing and walking. This image and this one depict behaviour that could be aggressive. As of now, my oppose remains. --Tagooty (talk) 03:34, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

  At the moment this picture was taken, the lion was looking at vultures in the horizon. Also, not very long before this lion arrived to that place (maybe 10 minutes before), he was walking in the direction of a cheetah mother and her three younglings that were in its territory (I have a video of it). So I have no doubt that the lion was still defending it's territory by looking at the horizon. Giles Laurent (talk) 12:15, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment Procedural points: (1) "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards". The vote is currently 1 s, 1 o as Agnes Monkelbaan has not reconfirmed. (2) Per COM:VIP, a nomination can be closed "only if more than 48 hours have passed since the last vote ( Support, Neutral, or Oppose)." Hence, I've changed back to Discuss to allow sufficient time for opinions. --Tagooty (talk) 07:07, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

  @Archaeodontosaurus: This is the second time you have speedily promoted this image while it is under Discussion without waiting for the mandatory 48 hours "since the last vote" per COM:VIP. The intent of the 48-hour period I believe is to allow community members to consider the various points of view before the final decision. I'm puzzled by the urgency to promote this image. --Tagooty (talk) 16:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

•  Support Useful & Used --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:22, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
  
•  Oppose Agree with QI/FP ratings and like this image of Tryggve (also sadly passed), even better than the one of his brother lion, Snyggve. However, IMHO the nominated scope is also too narrow. Yours is the only image of this particular lion-by-name in the scope link category of 200 male lions. Can you think of a better VI scope?

The thing is that Tryggve (and Snyggve) is a quite famous lion : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, etc. Just like famous persons (like recent VIC nominations) can have a scope for themselves, I think a famous animal like this one should also be able to have it. This lion is indeed quite famous and the scope would allow someone wanting to do a search query to directly find it. In the light of these elements, don't you think the current scope could fit @GRDN711? If not, please tell me what you think of these alternative scope suggestions : "Panthera leo (lion), front view" or "Panthera leo (lion), symmetrical portrait". Thank you in advance for your answer. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 16:42, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

 Comment “Panthera leo (lion), dominant adult male - full frontal view" or similar, comes to mind and there may be others among the 200 images of your scope-link-category that meet this scope criteria. It remains to peer VI judgement if your image is best and most valued. --GRDN711 (talk) 23:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

• • Weak  Support with revised scope as there are several others 1, 2 that are close. I give advantage that this image is of excellent quality and that the view is full frontal with the lion’s eyes locked on the photographer (who could be lunch under the right circumstances…). Showing all of the head and mane is a positive feature. As the image was made in the wild rather than a zoo represents an additional challenge. --GRDN711 (talk) 23:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
•  Comment The scope is ok, however the linked CAT should be CAT:Panthera leo (male) (full front) rather than only the head. It is difficult to say that the nom image is the best of the 672 images in the CAT. Creating a specific sub-CAT may help. From a cursory look at the first 50 images, this image appears to be better as it shows the legs also, while in the nom image the lower part of the front is obscured. As of now, my oppose remains. --Tagooty (talk) 03:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

  The image you linked was taken at a zoo and I doubt it represents a dominant male as there is no real territory to dominate in a zoo. Giles Laurent (talk) 13:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

(2) Per COM:VIP, a nomination can be closed "only if more than 48 hours have passed since the last vote ( Support, Neutral, or Oppose)." Hence, I've changed back to Discuss to allow sufficient time for opinions.

  I think that with this edit, Archaeodontosaurus reconfirmed his support since he counted it in the total. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 Comment I think "at Creux du Van with snow" is not necessary in scope. --Thi (talk) 13:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. So you would suggest "Capra ibex (Alpine ibex), male walking, and Swiss Alps in background" instead of "Capra ibex (Alpine ibex), male walking, at Creux du Van with snow and Swiss Alps in background" ? The thing is that almost the whole background is the Creux du Van itself and that the Swiss Alps is only the small portion on the top right with the far away mountains. So I think it would be more relevant to remove the Swiss Alps instead of the Creux du Van don't you think ? I just edited it that way, tell me if it works for you. Giles Laurent (talk) 13:16, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

The Alpine ibex lives in the Alps of Europe, I don't think that any particular area is important to the scope but the mountain habitat is. The background is mostly unsharp and it is not important for the scope. I think that the scope should be more like a image search query (Capra ibex (Alpine ibex), male walking in the mountains) than a detailed description of the image. --Thi (talk) 15:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Here is the thing : the Creux du Van is not part of the Alps of Europe according to this map and as proven by this photograph, the Alpine ibex don't only lives in the Swiss alps. The Creux du Van is actually not that high in altitude, only 1440m in average. The Creux du Van background is immediately recognizable for any person that knows this place and this image illustrates well the male Alpine ibex that can be seen there (there is only one old male there according to my knowledge but many females) as almost all of the background is it. The place is very famous and 200'000 persons visit the Creux du Van every year with probably 80 to 90% in the summer and ibex are often seen there by people because they are a species that is not afraid of humans. So I think the picture illustrates well the male Alpine ibex that lives there for people that would do like a image search query of the ibex that lives there. Also, there is only a few days/weeks every year that you can have snow there as it is not very high in altitude and also because winters are becoming warmer and warmer lately. In the light of these elements, what do you suggest to use as scope, don't you think the new one would fit? Giles Laurent (talk) 15:56, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

 Support The scope is good since Creux du Van is a well-known natural attraction, the picture illustrates the animal and the nature reservation area. --Thi (talk) 16:31, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

• Reluctantly  Oppose because IMHO Thi has it right in commenting that "at Creux du Van with snow" is not necessary in the scope. The Capra ibex species is only found in European alpine environments and adding Creux du Van as a geographical location in the scope is extra description that does not add to the uniqueness or value of the image. The subject appears to be an adult male. I am undecided that walking is unique sub-scope behavior. In terms of comparable images of an adult male Capra ibex, this one is of good quality, has better lighting and better fills the frame. --GRDN711 (talk) 00:28, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

  The Creux du Van is not an alpine environment! It is at an average altitude of only 1440m, below tree line, and is moreover not situated in the Alps of Europe. For this simple reason, this image already differs from the common alpine ibex that would be photographed in the alps and adds uniqueness and value to the image. The Creux du Van is also a very well-known place with hundreds of thousands of hikers that visit it every year (200'000). Finally, the image you linked, while being taken at the Creux du Van, doesn't allow the viewer to know it was taken there at the Creux du Van because it is not recognizable in the background. Giles Laurent (talk) 14:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

 Comment You may not agree with this perspective but let me point out a statement in COM:VIS – “Note that scope is not a simple description of your image. Rather, it defines a generic field or category within which your image is the most valuable example.”

The image being nominated is a male Capra ibex (Alpine ibex). Whether Creux du Van meets some definition of an European alpine environment is irrelevant. The ibex seems to think Crux du Vin is sufficiently alpine enough to live there and that’s good enough. The same species without location distinction can be found in the German, Swiss and Italian Alps.

The Crux du Vin location just adds an extra wordy description that makes the scope too narrow as a generic field or category and attempts to make this particular image more unique (and therefore valuable) than it is. --GRDN711 (talk) 17:09, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

There is a scope for every angle of a church. There is a scope for every painting/object in that church. I don't see why there couldn't be a scope for an Alpine Ibex photographed at Creux du Van as it is generic enough to have many pictures in that category. Almost all articles about the Creux du Van mention the ibexes that can be found there. Many people go there in hope to see them. This picture is valuable to them. There even is a specific category that was created specifically for ibex in that place, thereby proving that it is generic enough. Out of all the ibex photographed in Creux du Van, this is in my opinion the most valuable one as it shows in a very recognizable manner the Creux du Van in its background. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 17:27, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

• Nice shot, really needs a crop for VI. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:40, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately I can't crop it because the picture was awarded. But I can change the scope to "Cinnyris chloropygius (Olive-bellied sunbird) flying to a flower" since it was flying from another flower and ended up in the flower on the right of the image. So I just edited the scope. What do you think now ? -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:58, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

• I am not in favour of this scope. We have well established formats and I see no need to change. Just upload a cropped version. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:30, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

  I think this picture has more educational value without a crop because it allows to observe the animal behavior : we can see from what flower it comes from and to what flower it is going. We can even see it looking at it to choose it before landing on it. So I think this scope is also more interesting than simply flying because it shows an animal behavior while flying. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 23:35, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

File naming...

@Giles Laurent, sorry to object to your undo requests... the prefix 1000x_ is to our opionion not an (official) catalog number, but an attempt from your side to put your images at the top of the category... To our opinion you are abusing the naming system. You are right that the photographer suffix is not strictly prohibited, but your photographer's name is already in the metadata, so that should be sufficient from an copyright and credits viewpoint?. The catalog number, of a sequence number can be put as a suffix, but not as a prefix... Kind regards. --Geert Van Pamel 22:02, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

As already explained on your talk page, in accordance with File naming rules, catalogue numbers are authorized on file names just like the photographer name. Almost all my uploads on Commons since years follow the same naming pattern and other users, including Wikimedia Commons administrators use their name/catalogue number on file name. I'm sorry that you might not like that, but this is not a valid reason to change the name of files that rules explicitely say that they can be written in such a way.

In view of the free license granted to everyone to use the image free of charge, including for commercial purposes, it seems fair to me to include the author's name at the very end of the title. This is especially important as many people simply download the images via Google Images without ever checking metadata. Having the author's name in the name of the downloaded file is therefore a fair way to make them remember that the condition for using the image is the indication of the author. About the fact that pictures may be appearing at the top of the category because of the catalogue number I don't see how that is an issue since judges are supposed to have a look at every single file and not just the first ones.

Thank you for your understanding and best regards, -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for informing me above about the agreed rules for file names. Most museums put their catalogue numbers as a suffix at the end of name so that the general public can easily read the file name. Personaly I like more that solution. Sorry for disturbing you. I wish you success with your participation. --Geert Van Pamel 07:49, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

THANKS for POTY

Just a big thanks for all the amazing work you do / you've done for the POTY competition. Your way of managing and leading is excellent, and I sincerely believe that things are progressing largely thanks to your constructive involvement. -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:20, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your message Basile Morin, I really appreciate it! I felt that there was a severe lack of communication and that POTY 2023 was threatened to not happen before 2025 so I did my best to connect the dots and make things go forward -- Giles Laurent (talk) 07:28, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

And it worked :-) The skills you have in programming and ability to integrate the whole technical problem is a strong point which is added to your art of motivating the actors likely to help. -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:06, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
