User talk:Herbert Ortner
Hello - thank you for providing images to the wikimedia commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the commons should be useful to all users of wikimedia projects - this is possible only if the images can be found by other people. To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should either place the images on topic pages (galleries), or put the images directly into a category, or do both. Which of those possibilities is preferred is however a matter of debate, see here.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There is a large number of completely unsorted images on the commons right now, see Commons:Really unused. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do! Thank you. -- Duesentrieb 12:10, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
No license images
[edit]Thank you for tagging images without license!
Please notify uploader with {{subst:Image source|Image:<Name>}}. You could also use MediaWiki:Quick-delete.js for simplifying this task.
Thank you!

Hallo Herbert,
war dir diese lizenzwidrige Nutzung deines Prater-Fotos File talk:Prater vom Riesenrad.jpg bekannt? Von mir nutzen die auch ein Foto lizenzwidrig ohne jeden Bildquellennachweis. Inzwischen habe ich ermittelt, dass sämtliche Bilder in der Spalte "Sehenswürdigkeiten Wien" von Commons stammen und alle lizenzwidrig benutzt werden. --Túrelio (talk) 22:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Vor langer Zeit hat mich der Betreiber einer Website angemailt, ob er dieses Bild (und andere) auch unter anderen Bedingungen zeigen dürfte. Ich habe damals mein OK dazu gegeben, daran kann ich mich noch erinnern. Ich habe aber keine Ahnung mehr, ob das diese war, es ist schon eine kleine Ewigkeit her und Mails habe ich dazu heute auch nicht mehr. Was mich betrifft, also im Zweifel für den Angeklagten (auch wenn ich aufgrund der anderen Fälle eigentlich nicht glaube, dass es der gewesen ist). -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 16:07, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Herbert, auf diesem Bild File:Zillertalbahn VT6 Mayrhofen 2010.jpg würde mich der dritte Wagen im Zug interessieren.

CPPbHC|AT
[edit]Hallo Herbert, habe deine Entfernung der Vorlage {{CPPbHC|AT}} bei den 2 Murauer Bildern wieder rückgängig gemacht, die Vorlage dient ja auch dazu, das manchmal schwierig auszumachende Kennzeichen auf dem Bild zu finden (quasi auch als Nachweis des Schutzes nach HC). BTW: wenn du annotationen löschen möchtest, reicht es nicht, den Inhalt auszuräumen, leere Annotationen machen keinen Sinn. Also besser delete statt edit. Aber nicht in diesem konkreten Fall. meint --Herzi Pinki (talk) 19:30, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
- Alles klar. Meine Intention war, die redundante Kategorie beim Bild selbst loszuwerden, da ich sie bei der übergeordneten Kategorie (sofern vorhanden) für besser aufgehoben halte. Aber wenn der Hinweis per Baustein in die Annotation eingefügt wird, wird auch die Kat. beim Bild automatisch erstellt. Da kann man wohl derzeit nichts machen. -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 19:38, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
- die Vorlage stammt von mir und alles ist änderbar. Die Doppelkategorisierung habe ich bisher hingenommen. Da es kein öffentliches Verzeichnis aller Haager Konventionskulturgüter gibt, war meine Intention die Bilder mit Schilder zu sammeln, quasi auch als Nachweis. Man könnte beispielsweise per Zusatzparameter die Auto-Kategorisierung unterdrücken. lg --Herzi Pinki (talk) 23:10, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Sprachvorlage
[edit]Hallo, danke, dass du einige der TARS631-Bilder besser kategorisierst und eine bessere Beschreibung hinzufügst! Aber gehört die Sprachvorlage nicht eigentlich als "{{de|Text}}" und nicht als "{{de}} Text" gesetzt? Sonst funktioniert ja die Ausblendung mittels CSS nicht. lg darkweasel94 Diskussion/talk/diskuto 21:07, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
- Gute Frage, ich habe mich damit eigentlich noch nicht im Detail beschäftigt - auch nicht bei meinen eigenen, weil es dort vom Uploadformular erzeugt wird. Ich kann es natürlich künftig berücksichtigen. Sensationell, was er da alles fotografiert hat. -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 21:14, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Da du offenbar teilweise ziemlich massenhaft umkategorisierst (noch einmal danke für deine viele Mühe!): Kennst du Cat-a-lot? Vielleicht kann das deine Arbeit etwas effizienter machen. darkweasel94 Diskussion/talk/diskuto 11:49, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
- Sieht interessant aus, werde ich mir genauer ansehen! -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 11:54, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Picture of the Year voting round 1 open
[edit]Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:
- Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
- This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
- Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).
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. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons
Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hallo Herbert Ortner, kann das wirklich die Herrengasse in Graz sein? Ich wüßte nicht, wo die so einen Knick macht. Eher die Annenstraße? Gruß --Eweht (talk) 05:53, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hallo Eweht! Das war, als ich versuchte den Standort zu identifizieren auch mein erster Gedanke. Aber die guten Google-Luftbilder und ein wenig Ortskenntnis führten mich dann doch auf eine andere Spur. Das ist der Blick vom Anfang der Herrengasse in Richtung Hauptplatz. Das rosa Eckhaus mit dem Cafe steht an der Ecke Sporgasse/Sackstraße und ganz im Hintergrund ist das beflaggte Kaufhaus Kastner & Öhler zu erkennen. Das graue Haus hinter der Straßenbahn mit dem Balkon, das ist das Rathaus. -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 20:00, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Ich hatte inzwischen die Idee, die Bilder, die ich nicht mehr auf meinem "öffentlichen" Account haben möchte, auf einen anderen Account hochzuladen oder zu verschieben und diese unter der Lizenz "Public Domain" freizugeben. Wie mache ich das mit möglichst wenig Aufwand? Danke für deine Unterstützung, Grüße, --Manuela (talk) 18:16, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
- Kein Problem. Mein kann zwar Dateien auf einen neuen Dateinamen verschieben (lassen) aber nicht den Uploadernamen ändern. Ich würde daher zuerst den neuen Account anmelden, dann alles hochladen und dann die Originale mit dem Vermerk Same picture now uploaded under new username (mit Link dorthin) löschen lassen. Vorher aber prüfen, wo welche Bilder verwendet wurden und dort dann die Verlinkung auf die neue Version umschreiben! Anstatt "Public Domain" empfehle ich allerdings CC-0 (Creative Commons Zero). Das ist in der Anwendung das gleiche, aber rechtssicher formuliert, da es im Urheberrecht europäischer Prägung keine "Public Domain" gibt, bzw. eigentlich die Möglichkeit garnicht vorgesehen ist, seine Werke in die Gemeinfreiheit zu entlassen.-- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 08:33, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

- I answer in english: For some odd reson this file was overwritten just the next minute after my first upload. As you can see it was myself who uploaded it in the first place. Must have been some hiccup of flickr2commons since I transfered the whole album from Flickr. Shouldn't it usually refuse to overwrite a file already available on Commons? -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 16:59, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Categories in English, articles in native language
[edit]Hallo Herbert,
Categories are normally in English but articles can be in native language. Gryffindor (talk) 20:22, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hi!
- I'm absolutely not convinced! This is not a descriptive category name but an established company name. Just take a look into the upper Category:Defunct rail transport companies of Austria and it's upper category – everything in original language! There's a reason why for example there is a Category:Compagnie des chemins de fer de l'Est but no "Eastern railway company" and many others. In printed English literature kkStB is the most common term and Imperial Royal State Railways a very rare occurrence there. I hope nobody considers renaming Category:Österreichische Bundesbahnen to something like Austrian federal railways. Was there a renaming discussion beforehand? I strongly recommend to name this category back to the established German name. -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 15:31, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:JZ class 32 Mallet locomotive in Split ca 1952.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. |

Can I ask, how did you find the author? It's not a name I recognise and although the cranes have an (incomprehensible) signature, the station drawing doesn't. Is he any connection to Joseph Swain? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:08, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- I found a few drawings I could use for a project of mine on Flickr and checked Category: John Swain here. There were some of his drawings only in the Engineer's category. Signatures are tiny but readable (kind of) and there's a signature SWAIN ENG (probably for Swain engraver) on the track plan. John had a son also named John who ran the business after his death. [3] This article may be a good start for an entry John Swain (engraver): [4] But I can't find a connection with Joseph who had only one son named Joseph too.

[edit]
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 UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
