Thank you!

I've seen only now that you were so kind to have fixed my english user page! Really thank you! Unfortunately, I'm only en-3! :-) If you have time, I would like to ask you a favour! :-) Could you be so kind to fix also the english syntax of this page: User:Filnik/License_missing? Now it's protected, so if you have time please write me so I will unblock it :-) The reason is that this page is heavily visited and it should be well written but I can't find some motherlanguage that can help me! Thank you again, --Filnik^{\b[Rr]ock\b!?} 18:23, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page unlocked :-) If you meant also this page: User_talk:Filnik/Talk, feel free to do every correction that you prefer! :-) If you instead mean to correct the messages of the other users, well, better not to do so (sometimes people don't like that but I dunno why). Thanks again! :-) --Filnik^{\b[Rr]ock\b!?} 08:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The link you have given to me, it's not a wikipedia page :-) So, you can simply copy the text in the page and then copy it here with the corrections: User:Filnik/Sandbox. After I've taken the text, I will delete the page again ;-) Thanks for your help! --Filnik^{\b[Rr]ock\b!?} 17:23, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wisconsin barns

Thank you for your work with categorizing them. I notice that you uploaded numerous images of barns in Wisconsin. I'm from that state! If you upload an image of a Wisconsin location listed on the National Register of Historic Places, please add it to Category:National Register of Historic Places in Wisconsin. I'd appreciate it if you would also add the image to the NRHP article on the English Wikipedia [1]? I've been trying to systematically take pictures of these places and I'd hate to duplicate our efforts. Thanks! Royalbroil 03:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it looks like you've done most of my suggestions! I did add these to the NRHP category. Let me know if you need a picture of a place in the eastern half of Wisconsin. I do drive around on misc trips from time to time and there's a chance I might be able to take it. Royalbroil 03:49, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Misspelled category name

Done I did the move and deleted the category. No problem, happy to help! Royalbroil 04:31, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cornelis Visscher

It's Cornelis Visscher, not Cornelis de Visscher, according to several sources, including the Rijksmuseum. If you could revert the changes you made, that'd be great. Thanks! Regards, Kweniston (talk) 16:36, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done When consolidating all the pictures into one category, I opted for the existing artist template titled "Cornelis de Visscher" [[2]] simply because it was there. Now I've moved all the images to "Cornelis Visscher" [[3]] and linked that category to the template. What do you think? Should the template be deleted?

Bernhard von Bülow

where did you find the picture of mr.bülow?do you know more from him???? I´m very interesting!!! have you an email? u.gollesch

Do you mean the cartoon File:Brand, Adolf - from - Kladderadatsch (Berlin) - 27 October 1907.jpg? I found that cartoon in the journal Kladderadatsch, which is in many German libraries, especially in Berlin, where it was originally published. Jdsteakley (talk) 22:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

I saw that you took a lot of pictures of different Stolpersteine in Berlin. In case you are still interested in this subject: I rewrote the German article on de:Fritz Pfeffer, who got a Stolperstein in Berlin in 2007. It is located on the corner of Passauer Straße/Lietzenburger Straße. Is it possible for you to take a picture of that stone? It would be great for the article. Greetings, --Paulae (talk) 14:43, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, on my next trip to Berlin I will take a picture. I expect to go to Berlin in August. Jdsteakley (talk) 20:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Thanks Jdsteakley So many pictures of commons are difficult to locate by lack of categorization, your categories are very helpful! Ecummenic (talk) 05:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for File:Königin Luise mit ihren Söhnen.jpg---I couldn't find this anywhere else on the Web at a reasonable resolution. Morn the Gorn (talk) 13:48, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I too was thrilled to find this color picture in the Schill book. Up to then, I'd only had a crummy black and white version. Jdsteakley (talk) 14:07, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was at Schloss Charlottenburg yesterday, and while the painting (and variations on its theme by other artists) were an important part of the currently ongoing exhibition, they didn't seem to have a postcard of it in the museum store. And photographing in the exhibit, even without flash, was prohibited... Morn the Gorn (talk) 20:23, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Background removal (Graphic Lab/Photography workshop)

Your request of Background removal have been done, please have a look. Ivan Akira (talk) 05:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid your deletion request to File:Ferdinand von Schill (Schnupftabakdose).jpg might be rejected according to the Commons:Superseded images policy, and you can even read the discussion at Commons talk:Superseded images policy. So, your edit which remove the link to File:Ferdinand von Schill (Schnupftabakdose).jpg should be reverted I think. Ivan Akira (talk) 00:00, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ivan. Thank you for pointing me to this discussion of superseded images, which I was entirely unaware of. Reading through (parts of) the very lengthy discussion, it seems to me that there are two key issues here. One is the matter of licensing, and in the present case that doesn't really matter, because this is a public domain art image. The second, possibly more important issue, is the transparent background of a png image, which apparently is not readable with the Windows Explorer browser. -- With this image, I was concerned that the cloth visible in the background might be protected by copyright. It shows that a photographer at the Berlin Museum was hard at work, and created an original image. The circular image, on the other hand, lacks originality (at least within the past 200 or so years), and therefore can be copied for Wikimedia. -- Now I am wondering whether it is possible for you to change the png image once again, so that a neutral (perhaps white, or perhaps black) background appears where it is now transparent. That way, it would be possible to upload the image as a jpg which could be opened with all browsers. What do you think? -- Jdsteakley (talk) 00:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, about the IE issue, let's talk it here, not in the graphic lab. Based on my observation, the PNG transparency problem only occur at Internet Explorer version 6 and its predecessors. While start from version 7 (the latest version is 8) there are no problem in PNG transparency (I'm already confirmed this through test in my IE 6 and IE 8 browser). So based on my personal opinion, you shouldn't need to worry about the transparency issue anymore. Simply because almost every Internet Explorer users now using the version 7 or 8. -- And, how about the request? Are you still want me to make the round photo to square? If you do, I will do it after you reconfirm. Okay? You can answer either at this talk page or at graphic lab, but not both :-). Ivan Akira (talk) 11:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Ivan, for this update on viewing transparent area on Internet Explorer. That was my only reason for wanting a square image, not a round one, so let's just skip that and leave the image as it is. Now I'll try to figure out a different rationale (other than "superseded") for getting the original jpg deleted. -- Jdsteakley (talk) 20:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay then~ so I think I'll re-set the request as resolved. Ho ho ho. Ivan Akira (talk) 07:07, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am in complete agreement. -- Jdsteakley (talk) 14:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The photo we are considering to use is the following: Phoenix_canariensis_2 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Phoenix_canariensis_(2009).jpg

The brochure will have four divisions.
-Brochure a -- a pocket to take the route.
-A brochure to present on the day of inauguration.

-Panels that will be fixed in the land.

As I said, everything will be Free Access :) If you are the author and provide us that photo, we will refer your name in the bibliography and we need to know what´s the name you want on the bibliography? James Steakley? If it´s possible please respond to ritasoraia2001@hotmail.com or rita.neves@cm-lisboa.pt or here on Wikimedia. Thank you very much. Our best regards

Historic House exhibit

Hello. I apologize if I am doing this incorrectly. My name is Kaitlin Ammon and I am the curator at the Sam Bell Maxey House State Historic Site, located in Paris, TX. Our website is www.visitsambellmaxeyhouse.com.

We are planning a new temporary exhibit for our historic site. Part of that exhibit will focus upon the Italianate architecture of the Maxey House and we want to display pictures of other Italianate houses to compare the Maxey House to. On Wikimedia Commons, I found your image of the Fitzgerald Home, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The address is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fitzgerald__Home_Milwaukee.jpg. It states that this photo is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. I wanted to make sure that this is still the case, as well as personally ask your permission to use this photograph in our upcoming exhibit, which we will attribute to you in the manner of your choosing as specified in the license.

The exhibit will be a free exhibit for any visitors who stop by the Maxey House while we are currently under construction and unable to offer guided tours of the actual house. We do not plan to use the photo in any way other than as an image in our free exhibit. If this use is agreeable to you, please send me the wording for your photo attribution here or at my work email address, kaitlin.ammon@thc.state.tx.us. Also, please feel free to email me if you have any further questions. Thank you in advance for your time.Kammon (talk) 21:06, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, certainly you have my permission to use the photo of the Fitzgerald House in your upcoming exhibition. As for credit, I would like it to say: James Steakley (Wikimedia Commons). It would be wonderful if you could upload a photo of the Maxey House to Wikipedia or Wikimedia, for it could then illustrate the Wikipedia article on the house. -Jdsteakley (talk) 10:35, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I will point out that those two files do not belong into Category:Viking fibulae because they are from the Migration period and not from the Viking period.

All three of those categories works, but I would prefer Category:Nordic Iron Age fibulae for these two files (together with File:Reliefspänne (Raä-nr Trävattna 31-1) 8839.jpg, File:Odin bältespänne Finnestorp Västergötland.jpg, and File:Spänne förgyllt silver guldfiligran och granater skåne vendeltid.jpg) and put the Category:Viking fibulae as a subcategory of it. / Achird (talk) 13:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mengs' four times of the day personified

Hello! Thanks for adding Mengs' paintings of Diana, Helios and Hesperus, from Roettgen's Anton Raphael Mengs 1728-1779, vol. 2: Leben und Wirken. The description says he painted four, but I can't find any more about the last one; do you know if still exists, and if so whether it's in the book?

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 startet in Kürze

Hallo Jdsteakley,

in Kürze ist es wieder soweit. Der nun schon traditionelle Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments wird im September zum vierten Mal stattfinden. In ähnlicher Form hatte unlängst der Wettbewerb "Wiki Loves Earth" eine erfolgreiche Premiere. Zu allen bisherigen vier Wettbewerben haben seit 2011 gut 3000 unterschiedliche Teilnehmer (User) ihren Beitrag geleistet. Du warst dabei, und bist auch herzlich eingeladen, am bevorstehenden WLM-Wettbewerb wieder dabei zu sein.

Allein in Deutschland wurden in den letzten drei Jahren im Rahmen von WLM rund 100.000 Fotos zu den insgesamt ca. 850.000 Kulturdenkmalen bundesweit hochgeladen. Jährlich haben sich mehrere Hundert Wiki-Fotographen daran beteiligt. Auch im kommenden Denkmalmonat wird dies gewiss wieder der Fall sein. Der Tag des offenen Denkmals am 14. September bietet bundesweit vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Denkmale nicht nur von außen, sondern auch von innen zu fotografieren. Denkmallisten sind dabei ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt und zugleich auch Ziel der Einbindung der Fotos. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder neue Denkmallisten hinzugekommen, die hilfreich bei der Planung von individuellen oder Gruppen-Fototouren sind und auf eine Bebilderung warten, wie z.B. zu Görlitz oder Zittau. Unter den Landeshauptstädten fehlt nur noch Stuttgart. Aber auch hier ist Licht in Sicht.

In der Mitte Deutschlands hat die Denkmallandschaft der thüringischen Landeshauptstadt Erfurt nun das Licht der Wikipedia-Welt entdeckt. Mehr als 50 Tabellen enthalten 3.700 Denkmale. Allein die wunderschön restaurierte Altstadt umfasst 1.800 Denkmale. Eine von WMDE geförderte WLM-Fototour nach Erfurt am Wochenende vom 29. – 31. August lädt herzlich ein, diese einzigartige Kulturlandschaft zu dokumentieren. Mehr Informationen findest Du auf der Projektseite.

Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.

Viel Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.

( Bernd Gross, 16. August 2014)

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 - Ein Wiki-Beitrag für die Denkmaltopographie

Hallo Jdsteakley,

vor zehn Tagen endete der vierte Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments. Du hast daran aktiv teilgenommen und wir möchten Dir dafür herzlich danken.

Mit mehr als 35 Tausend Fotos hat Deutschland wie in den Vorjahren ein gutes Ergebnis erreicht und einen Anteil von 14 % an diesem internationalen Projekt erbracht, an dem sich 40 Länder beteiligten. Sehr erfreulich ist die hohe Zahl an 651 Teilnehmern allein in Deutschland. Schon zum Abschluss des Wettbewerbs waren rund 6000 Fotos (=17 %) in Listen und Artikel eingebunden. Einen detaillierten Überblick zu den Fotos, den Bundesländern und Teilnehmern findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite.

Die deutsche Jury hat nun die eingereichten Beiträge übernommen und ist gegenwärtig dabei, diesen wertvollen Fotobestand zu den Kulturdenkmalen zu sichten. Am nächsten Wochenende wird in Hamburg die entscheidende Jury-Sitzung stattfinden. Wir wünschen auch Dir mit Deinem Foto-Beitrag dabei viel Glück und Erfolg. Du darfst gespannt sein und all Deine Freunde bitten, Dir die Daumen zu drücken.

Die preisgekrönten 100 Gewinner-Fotos werden in der Woche ab dem 20. Oktober veröffentlicht. Auf dieser Grundlage wird auch in diesem Jahr ein Kalender-Poster für 2015 gedruckt werden.

Auf zwei Möglichkeiten einer weiteren aktiven Mitwirkung an unserem Denkmal-Projekt möchten wir bei dieser Gelegenheit hinweisen bzw. Dich dazu einladen:

Unsere Freunde in Österreich haben mit einem gerade gestarteten Denkmal-Cup das Editieren von Denkmallisten und Denkmalartikeln in den Focus gerückt. Bis Ende des Jahres kannst Du Punkte sammeln und Preise gewinnen. Dabei geht es mit diesem Wettbewerb nicht nur um Kulturdenkmale in AT oder D, sondern generell um Denkmale in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, als offen für alle Länder.

Vom 6.-8. November findet erneut die Europäische Denkmalmesse in Leipzig statt. Mit Unterstützung von Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. werden wir zum zweiten Mal die Ergebnisse von Wiki Loves Monuments im Rahmen eines Standes sowie eines Workshops vorstellen.

WLM-Aktivisten sind herzlich eingeladen, bei der Betreuung des Messestandes sowie in den Gesprächen über Möglichkeiten einer partnerschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit mit den Denkmalbehörden mitzuwirken. Die Reisekosten übernimmt für 8-10 registrierte Standbetreuer WMDE. Es muss nicht der gesamte Messezeitraum sein, auch eine Mitwirkung an 2 Tagen hilft uns, den Beitrag der Wikipedia für die Denkmaltopographie sichtbar zu machen.

Und schließlich gilt: Nach dem Wettbewerb ist vor dem Wettbewerb. Bereits jetzt kann jeder mit der Planung von Wiki Loves Monuments 2015 beginnen. Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.

Viel Spaß dabei wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.

( Bernd Gross), 11.10.2014

Luther im Kreise seiner Familie musizierend

Dear Jdsetakley,

In connection with the Luther-anniversary in 2017, a new website is being made (by a project group connected with the National Museum of Denmark) that will explore Martin Luther in words and pictures. We would very much like to use your photo of the Spangenberg-painting "Luther im Kreise seiner Familie musizierend." However, I am in doubt about the license for the photo - can we use it, and if so, how would you like to be credited?

Best regards, Cecilie Bønnelycke

Student Assistant National Museum of Denmark - Middle Ages, Renaissance and Numismatics

Hello, Cecilie Bønnelycke -- I am interested to hear about your website project and would like to help you as much as possible. If I had photographed the painting in question myself, then I could (and gladly would) give you permission to use the photograph. But I only copied and uploaded an existing photograph / scan, an action which is permissible on Wikimedia because the image is in the "public domain" under the terms of copyright law in the USA (where Wikimedia Commons is legally located), specifically because (1) the painting was made by a painter now deceased for more than 100 years and (2) any faithful two-dimensional copy (photograph / scan) of such a painting lacks copyright protection because the copy does not have the originality of an actual work of art. As you may already know, the copyright situation in Denmark is far more restrictive: Reuse of Public Domain Art -- Denmark. Therefore I can only suggest that you consult with a Danish lawyer about reusing the Wikimedia file or alternatively seek permission from the owner of the painting to have a photographer make a (new) photograph of the painting and grant you permission to use it. I am sorry to say that I do not know the location of the painting, be it in a museum or a private collection, but hopefully you can track down the location / owner and request a new (or even an old) photograph, and get the permission of the museum / owner to use it on your website. On the other hand, perhaps your Danish lawyer will simply say it is permissible to use the existing Wikimedia file. After all, your project is educational, not commercial. If your lawyer approves using the Wikimedia file, you can completely skip giving credit to me or Wikimedia. From our perspective, the painting image (any two-dimensional copy) is now in the public domain (at least in the USA and other countries with the 100-year rule, though not in Denmark). Good luck!--Jim Steakley ^(talk) 17:33, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jim Steakley, thank you for your answer! Indeed, the copyright situation is quite restrictive here in Denmark, so I will follow your advice and consult our lawyers about using the Wikimedia file. The painting itself turns out to be rather difficult to find - perhaps because it is in a private collection somewhere - so I don't know if it will be possible to get a photo of the work directly from the owner of the painting. Still, thank you very much for your advice! Kind regards, Cecilie.

Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen

Hallo Jdsteakley,

nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.

Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.

Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.

Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

Observation towers in Baden-Württemberg/in the Black Forest

Hallo Jdsteakley, die beiden Kategorien sind nicht wirklich redundant, auch wenn der Schwarzwald komplett in Baden-Württemberg liegt. Das erste ist eine flächendeckende Unterteilung nach Verwaltungsgebieten, das andere ist ein Sonderfall für einen Naturraum. Die Naturraumgrenzen des Schwarzwalds gehen mitten durch die Landkreise. Category:Towers in Baden-Württemberg wird nach Landkreisen unterteilt, in diesen Landkreiskategorien kann es dann auch Unterkategorien "Observation towers in Landkreis XYZ" geben. Darum hatte ich beides nebeneinander belassen. Gruß, --Sitacuisses (talk) 18:07, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wäre es dann vielleicht am sinnvollsten, die Observation Towers gerade mit Landkreisen-Kategorien zu versehen? --Jdsteakley (talk) 18:14, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sie sollten bisher schon die Landkreis-Kategorien Category:Towers in Landkreis XYZ haben. Das kannst du sicher weiter nach Turmart unterteilen. In Category:Towers in Landkreis Rastatt gibt es z. B. bereits die Category:Water towers in Landkreis Rastatt und mehrere Bilder und Kategorien, die in eine Category:Observation towers in Landkreis Rastatt passen würden. Ansonsten Danke für deine fleißige Arbeit in den Schwarzwaldkategorien. Übrigens lassen sich Unterkategorien genau wie Bilder per Cat-a-lot gesammelt in andere Kategorien verschieben und müssen nicht wie hier einzeln angefasst werden. --Sitacuisses (talk) 18:25, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wirklich?! Ich habe das nämlich schon mal versucht, allerdings ohne Erfolg. Habe offensichtlich etwas falsch gemacht, werde es gleich wieder versuchen.--Jdsteakley (talk) 18:31, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wenn man die Inhalte einer ganzen Kategorie verschiebt, bietet sich die Option "Auswählen alle" unten im Cat-a-lot-Menu an, ansonsten ein Klick auf die einzelne Zeile. Bei mir geht das. --Sitacuisses (talk) 19:02, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Im Menü von Cat-a-lot ist unten ein Punkt "Einstellungen". Dort kann man das Bearbeiten von Seiten inklusive Kategorien freischalten. Ohne das entsprechende Häkchen wird es nicht gehen. --Sitacuisses (talk) 19:27, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Danke! Das wird's wohl sein. --Jdsteakley (talk) 19:30, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was sind deine Pläne mit Category:Panoramio photos of the Black Forest ? Soll es, wie ich vermute, eine temporäre Arbeitskategorie sein, um die Bilder weiter zu verteilen? Eine Kategoriebeschreibung wäre sinnvoll. Gruß, --Sitacuisses (talk) 01:47, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Genau, das soll eine vorläufige Kategorie sein. Ich bin dabei, die panoramio-Fotos in vielen Ortschaften im Landkreis Emmendingen und Landkreis Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald zu bearbeiten. Muss gestehen, dass ich mich mit Black Forest etwas überfordert fühle. Es gibt unglaublich viele Unterkategorien! Du darfst ruhig zulangen, wenn Du willst! --Jdsteakley (talk) 09:45, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Korrektur der Farben einiger meiner Fotos

Hallo Jssteakley, vielen Dank, dass Du bei einigen meiner Aufnahmen der letzten Tage in Berlin die Farben verändert hast, aber dazu habe ich einige Fragen. Falls Aufnahmen in dunklen Räumen (nur irgendwie künstlich beleuchtet) gemacht werden, wie sollten sie dann bearbeitet werden? Bei Schachturnieren muss man immer den Blitz und das Klicken der Camera ausschalten, um die Spieler nicht zu stören. Eine erste Frage lautet nun, sollten die Bilder dann dahin korrigiert werden, als wären sie bei Tageslicht aufgenommen worden? Was einerseits ein relativ großer Aufwand ist, und andererseits die Farben verändert. Ich besitze zwar etliche Programme, um Bilder zu verändern, aber ... wie kann man erreichen, dass die Bilder so aussehen, als wären sie bei Tageslicht aufgenommen worden. Welche Programme oder Methoden verwendest Du, um das künstliche Licht zu beseitigen? --GFHund (talk) 00:09, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ich arbeite mit Photoshop, und mit diesem Programm ist Farbveränderung tatsächlich etwas zeitintensiv. Ich fange damit an, die Orangestichigkeit von Kunstlicht mit einem blauen Filter abzumildern. Dann gehe ich auf "Ausgewählte Farben" und reduziere Rot und Gelb. Dann verändere ich den Schwarz-Weiß-Kontrast. Zum Schluß klicke ich auf Auto-Farbkorrektur. Das Foto wird dann gespeichert und neu geöffnet. Dann klicke ich auf Auto-Tonkorrektur. Mit anderen Fotobearbeitungsprogrammen wird es bestimmt anders gehen, und auch mit Photoshop gibt es verschiedene Herangehensweisen. Ich schlage vor, einfach ein bisschen herumzuexperimentieren. --Jdsteakley (talk) 08:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Vielen Dank für die Infos. Ich habe verschiedene andere Bildbearbeitungsprogramme und werde etwas experimentieren. Ich kaufte mir Movavi Photo Editor, wobei ich eben feststellte, dass man vieles korrigieren kann. --GFHund (talk) 08:32, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria cruziana

Hi Jdsteakley,

I requested a name change for File:Victoria cruziana - Basel.jpg to V. amazonica. As I found out, when I was there, recently, it is indeed amazonica. See the talk-page. I will also change the meta-data. I suppose you've been to the Botanischer Garten der Uni Basel as well. Was that in sept. 2010? Have you been there since? Many greetings, viele Grüsse. --Dick Bos (talk) 06:57, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! In fact, a Victoria amazonica nametag is visible in the center of the photograph. I can no longer remember why I uploaded the photo as Victoria cruziana in 2010 -- possibly there was a redirect page in Wikimedia back then. By the way, I haven't returned to the Botanischer Garten in Basel since 2010 and would very much like to pay another visit. --Jdsteakley (talk) 13:10, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Schwäbisch-alemannische Fastnacht

Hallo Jdsteakley, die Einordnung in Sachen de:Schwäbisch-alemannische Fastnacht ist nicht ganz trivial, denn erstens ist diese nicht auf Deutschland beschränkt und zweitens ist Baden-Württemberg nicht auf die Schwäbisch-alemannische Fastnacht beschränkt. So dürfte Category:Faschenacht in Buchen im fränkischen Odenwald nicht dazu gehören. Es gibt auch Mischformen in den Grenzregionen zum eher Rheinischen Karneval. Darum habe ich die Category:Carnivals of Germany by location weiter befüllt. Ich hoffe, dass ich dabei keine Schweizer oder Österreicher dorthin kopiert habe. Die Kategorisierung von Category:Schwäbisch-alemannische Fastnacht selbst ist weiterhin nicht ganz sauber. Gruß, --Sitacuisses (talk) 22:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sehr gut. Danke schön, weiter so! --Jdsteakley (talk) 13:05, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Origo gentis langobardorum

File:Origo_gentis_Langobardorum.jpg

It appears to be a manuscript containing Historia Langobardorum by Paulus Diaconus instead.

The text seems to recemble Historia, and also I googled for Ms. Phil. 1886... the site of of SBB is down, but I found a catalogue with a detailed description, also it is in Waitz in MGH SRG 48 / MGH SRL (de:Monumenta Germaniae historica Scriptores rerum Germanicarum in usum scholarum separatim editi (SS rer. Germ.)/ Scriptores rerum Langobardicarum et Italicarum saec. VI - IX. (SS rer. Lang.)). Waitz ascribed each manuscript to a class A, B..... L accordign to text dependencies ([4] [5]), this one is G6.

P.S. SBB site is working: [6]. P.P.S. Thank you very much for bibliographical information, so it was possible to identify it:)--90.154.72.166 01:32, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for this information. I am not sure how to integrate it into the description. Can you make a suggestion? --Jdsteakley (talk) 13:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
To perform file name swaps.
When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating redirects for deletion

Hi, Jdsteakley. If you nominate redirects for deletion, please add speedy tag not after, but before redirect. When situated after redirect, then wiki software shows in speedy deletion requests category like you want to delete whole file. Experience is needed to understand, that only redirect is needed to delete. Taivo (talk) 13:43, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Physical culture

Hi, you removed nearly 100 people from the "People associated with physical culture" category. Your reason was "removed redundant category". This is not accurate. The people on the list were all involved in physical culture or wrote about that topic. Physical culture is a specific field of strength training that originated in the 19th century that involved many physical activities from boxing to yoga.

On Wikipedia many of those people have Wikipedia articles where their involvement in physical culture is clearly sourced. In the last 2 years I have become very educated about historical physical culture and communicated with several physical culture historians. I even sent them the list and they were impressed with the work I did on Commons. I believe those 100 names should be restored to the category. The category is useful to find historical individuals associated with physical culture from the 19th century to the 1960s. You seem to have confused physical culture with something else because you have put sub-categories in the "People associated with physical culture" such as bodybuilders, boxers, gymnasts, strongmen, strongwomen, weightlifters and wrestlers. The problem is that most of those people were not associated with physical culture. Physical culture is pre-steroids and pre- performance-enhancing drugs. Most of the people in those sub-categories are nothing to do with physical culture. I believe we should restore the changes. I understand you have probably confused "physical culture" with anything physical but that is not what physical culture is. This is a historical discipline. Psychologist Guy (talk) 23:09, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, Psychologist Guy! -- First of all, thank you very much for creating the category "People associated with physical culture" earlier this year and for adding all the individuals to it. I spotted the category some months ago but have only been working with it for a few days now and am far from finished. I will be adding about 50 more individuals to the category in the coming days. Their names are at the bottom of the Wikipedia article on "Physical culture" -- specifically, the "antecedents", the "Europeans", and the "Indians" along with a few more who are named in the other articles at the very bottom of the page (for example François Delsarte, named in the article on "Battle of the Systems"). Up to now, I have finished only the "New World" individuals (US, Canada, Australia), both copyediting the Wikipedia articles on them and also revising the Wikimedia categories of their images. I'll do the same for the remaining Europeans, Indians, and antecedents in the coming days. -- I have no objection whatsoever to restoring or adding any individuals to the category "People associated with physical culture", and please feel free to do so, keeping in mind that I'll be doing the antecdedents, Europeans, and Indians, etc. anyway. But in those cases, I wlould favor adding their names to the list at the bottom of the Wikipedia article. -- I'm aware that physical culturists are not (necessarily) the same as "bodybuilders, boxers, gymnasts, strongmen, strongwomen, weightlifters and wresters" as well as yoga adepts, fencers, etc. Do you think it would better to turn these categories into "See also" entries? That might indicate more 'distance' from physical culture than the current subcategory status. -- And speaking of subcategories, what do you think of adopting the subcategories that appear in Wikipedia (New World, European, Indian, antecedents) and using them as subcategories in Wikimedia? These would appear with names such as "Europeans associated with physical culture" or "People associated with physical culture from Europe"; "People associated with physical culture from the United States" or "United States people associated with physical culture"; etc. I find it difficult work with that epithet "New World", although it seems entirely appropriate on the Wikipedia page. --Jdsteakley (talk) 11:32, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jim, I hope you're doing well - it's been a while! I am starting on a wikipedia article for Dick Wagner, and I was hoping you might have some additional photos of him - there are three here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:R._Richard_Wagner - I was going to crop the pride parade marshalls photo to take out Tammy and Mark and just have Dick, but if there's anything better that you've got it'd be awesome to use that instead!

There are some good photos on Flickr that I might ask the Library if they'll change the license on so we could use those: https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=%22richard%20wagner%22%20madison Thanks! 23:05, 15 August 2023 (UTC) Erik s paulson (talk) 23:05, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
