Re: Welcome?
Hi, yes it was related to a comment I left for you on your VP topic. I originally thought from your signature that you didn't have an account here. Then I figured you probably did and had just modified your sig to point to en.wp only, so I found your talk page.
You're welcome to remove it, of course. Although I think you should review your assumptions about welcome messages, new contributors and the like. I wouldn't think you are any more or less of a contributor just because you do or don't have a welcome message. Why do you think anyone else would? :)

Olympic Sculpture Park
Hey Joe, have you been to the new park yet? Any pictures? I'm gonna take some soon maybe at the public opening on the 20th. And by chance do you have a subscription to the NYT? This webpage [1] (I know it is pretty negative) says they made a 42 page brochure, and I'm trying to find a copy. According to a friend of mine it is not in the Boston edition of the paper and I can't find it online and my library is closed today for MLK day. So I don't know if there is such a brochure.

- Went by today, took some photos that I should eventually upload. Apparently they are "not allowing" photos of the Oldenberg piece, which is on loan from Paul Allen. Of course, that doesn't really mean you can't take photos, but it certainly means that we can't use them without very clear fair use justifications. - en:Jmabel | talk 02:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Your image Elisabeth of Romania 1.jpg
I saw this image had been tagged for cleanup, and I though you might like to see the result of my edit to it. I cropped and straightened it, then corrected colour and levels and uploaded it under a new, more suitable name. I have tagged the old image as superseded and nominated it for deletion. I hope you don't mind. See you around. — Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 15:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

But your claim that you "notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content" means that you "noticed" something that was not the case. - en:Jmabel | talk 05:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Petosa
Hi Jmabel, I shot the foto at the gaze of a rather small factory in the center of town near the watertower. Here you can find a list of fisarmonica factories in Castelfidardo: http://www.castelfidardo.it/visitatore/index.php?id=400030&id=search&set=21&cat=105 Probably Probably let their fisarmonicas manufacture by another (big) factory and only brands it. The bigger plants seem to be outside the historic center anyway. I did not publish all my Castelfidardo fotos on Wiki, so if you have any special interest... Zyance 07:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Questionable recat
Dear Jmabel, feel free to move Category:Coin-operated devices back to Category:Coins if you like. I just did a major clean-up in Category:Coins. In the process, I figured that people wouldn't expect to find coin-operated devices in Category:Coins in the first place. But on the other hand - where else would people find it?

- Image:Seattle - Immanuel Lutheran interior 01.jpg is probably the most similar. Image:Seattle - Immanuel Lutheran interior 03.jpg and Image:Seattle - Immanuel Lutheran interior 04.jpg cover some of the same territory. But the picture in question has so much camera shake that it is almost useless; if I had noticed this before uploading, I would never have uploaded it. Surely I can ask for deletion of a photo I uploaded accidentally and where I noticed the problem seconds later? - Jmabel | talk 03:05, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- Images with bad quality can be deleted only by posting to Commons:Deletion requests per Commons:Deletion guidelines, so I cannot speedily delete for you unless you have a better replacement ready.--Jusjih 13:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Foto Pepe Blanco
- Una pregunta....una foto con una dedicatoria explícita hacia una tercera persona...no pasa a ser propiedad de la persona que recibe la dedicatoria? No sé si me explico...esta no es la foto original, sino que está alterada con una dedicatoria y una firma, entregada expresamente por la persona fotografiada a la persona mencionada en la misma, es decir, mi madre, Esther. No varía eso el copyright? No quiero convertir esto en un melodrama, Jmabel, te lo prometo, simplemente quiero conocer bien la norma, y no tengo claro que una foto dedicada pertenezca al autor de la foto. Si uno de los dos pudiera facilitarme el texto en el cual se recoge este aspecto en las normas españolas del copyright se lo agradecería. Si no entiendes algo, intentaría traducirlo. --Pacoperez6 19:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- El foto como objecto, sí. Pero los derechos intelectuales, no. Al menos en los EEUU, y creo que es más o menos lo mismo en otros paises. Otro caso similar es si yo compro un cuadro, o el artista le me da, el cuadro físico es el mío, pero los derechos del artista queden con el artista. Yo no tengo ningún derecho de reproducirlo, faltando los mismos derechos de "fair use" cuales pertenecen a quienquiera. - Jmabel | talk 00:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
You make a fine point, but...
Hi! Let me outline my rationale, and, in case it does not make sense, feel free to revert my edits or replce the category with something else. For starters: I only started doing this because it seemed like people kept shoving the pictures into the main, vague, category, and, like many other incomplete categories, this was beginning to really bug me (I also hunted stuff like this down and tied loose ends in many other places, as you may have noticed). It also seems to me like the ideas behind categories are sometimes bordering on the absurd: what is the significant difference between "streets" and "buildings" - i.e. is there a photo of a street that would not be one of buildings? The only way I could make sense of these was if they came to include [mainly] subcats, as per other cases.
The photos you took were just added to the "buildings" cat, and I thought I should define them by purpose. It took me a while to find out about them: early on, I meant to answer your original question on the notice board, but it turns out that the reason why the building was so mysterious is due to the firm being called not "Sticlerom", but "Sticerom" (I'm not sure if this was already pointed out). It seems that that is where they actually manufacture glass, and, to my mind at least, the best way to define that, given what I have outlined here, is through "industrial". This since we have no narrower category for a narrower purpose (if we should, under what name do you think it should be?). That said, if it becomes apparent that Sticerom previously had another purpose (and chances are that it did), we could also add a category of the "inns in Bucharest" type to each photo.
Best, Dahn 02:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Streets vs. buildings is usually that the former is a view down a street with no emphasis on a particular building. Yes, I worked out "Sticerom" long ago (you'll notice it is correct in the text) but did not go & re-upload the pic, so it's still where I originally uploaded it.
- I'm pretty certain it was an inn, but I don't offhand know the name. It was definitely associated with the Curtea Veche. Someone with a very old map of Bucharest could doubtless work it out.
- Yes, they manufacture glass there, but using artisanal methods. In English at least, "industrial" suggests a non-artisanal approach. Maybe we should make a distinct category. Certainly someone looking for images related to people hand-making glass in a building like this - a building that also includes a bar and an art gallery - would be unlikely to look in a category related to things industrial. - Jmabel | talk 04:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have looked through Giurescu, and it was probably "Hanul lui Zamfir".
- As I said, you could rework the picture into any other category (though, personally, I would include artisanal categories as subcats of "industrial buildings", and I'm still unsure as to their names). For now, if the building is multi-purpose, we could just as well also add it to Category:Bars in Bucharest. Dahn 04:44, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- Certainly a view of the side of the building where the bar is should be included in that category. But when a large building happens to contain, among other things, a bar, we don't usually classify the building as a bar.
- I'll take a shot at these, but probably not tonight. - Jmabel | talk 05:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- I split the difference and introduced Category:Inns in Bucharest, though in this case I'm not certain that was its former use. - Jmabel | talk 00:20, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I have my doubts about the licensing claim on Image:Grigore Antipa.jpg. The picture is signed by Antipa in 1937. The PD-Old claim requires that the author (in this case the photographer) be dead for 70 years. That would only apply if the photographer died no later than the year the picture was signed. That seems very unlikely. I suggest that you either find a different basis for licensing this, or take it off of the Commons and give a fair use rationale in the language-specific Wikipedia where you want to use it. (I wasn't on patrol for problems when I noticed this: was just intrigued to see a picture of Antipa uploaded, then noticed a problem.) - Jmabel | talk 09:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I just upload ro:Imagine:GrigoreAntipa.jpg on Commons. The original licence was "Această imagine este inaptă de drepturi de autor şi astfel este considerată domeniu public, pentru faptul că este formată din informaţii comune şi nu are un autor original.".
- I will post a topic on ro:Wikipedia:Cafenea to choose a best licensing.--Bapti ✉ 10:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. Cred că "nu are un autor original" ==> "nu ştiu cine este autor original". -- Jmabel | talk 10:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Have you perchance seen the great photos of Bucharest submitted by User:Mele22? It's worth having a look at his contributions. I wanted to nominate one of them for featured picture, but I had trouble deciding which one - they're all excellent! I don't consider myself a good judge of photography, so perhaps you could weigh in and select one (or two, or three) that you feel meet all the more subtle featured image criteria (just in case they all don't meet them already). Thank you, Dahn 15:06, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- They are nice, but I'm not sure if any will be deemed technically good enough to make the cut. If you were going to nominate one, some likely candidates would be Image:Palace of Parliament.jpg, Image:The Metropolitan Church.jpg, and Image:Ion Heliade Radulescu.jpg: they are all well-composed (although in the last one the sky is pretty wiped out). - Jmabel | talk 18:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Nice ones. How about this one - does it make the cut? Dahn 18:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- I liked that one, too. I don't think it is as interesting an image as the others, but it is certainly technically well done. But lately I haven't seen anything this low-resolution accepted. I shoot at about twice that resolution, and resolution seems to be the main reason they won't take mine. - Jmabel | talk 18:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Please excuse me: I left my commons window open, but forgot to sign back in, and then just closed it after a while. For all the liberties I took with PD in the past, and for all the issues of copyright in Romania, I do agree that the image needs to get deleted. I see that photos of that age without a known author may pass for PD (see here); at the same time, however, if it is signed by Antipa, it could actually be copyrighted by him and his successors until 2014. It's weird, in a way, because we actually have a PD portrait of Antipa that we can crop and use (and that we already seem to be using): see here.
On the resolution: I see what you mean. For some reason, the photos looked high-resolution to me - probably because I don't wear my glasses when I edit. It was only then that I noticed the relative lack of depth and their rather small size. And yes, credit is due: yours are indeed much more detailed. It's a real shame, because they're really worth it (as ar many of yours). This project is run by snobs! :) Dahn 21:45, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- I assume that the deletion remark is strictly about the Antipa picture, not anything of Mele's! Could you try to move that forward, because I suspect it should be pursued by a native Romanian speaker?
- Mele's are very clean, no camera shake at all (maybe with tripod), so they are sharp, but not high-res.
- It's not necessarily snobbery, it's a matter of a particular aesthetic having won out here as being appropriate to an encyclopedia. I don't necessarily share that aesthetic, and I'm going to keep shooting the way I shoot. National Geographic, among others who have used my work, doesn't seem to disagree with me. But any given venue is going to have its own dominant aesthetic.
- FWIW, the image I've thumbed here - one of my favorites that I've ever shot - was rejected for its graininess and its lack of a level horizon line. At that point, I stopped even submitting photos for "featured" status. - Jmabel | talk 21:56, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keeping in mind that I'm not the best judge of photography, that festival photo looks great to me. In some way, it is reminiscent of paintings by the Nabis or Gaugin. Since we're somewhere near the subject, and I never found a way to squeeze this into the conversation: judging by some dialogs I read on your talk page over at en:wiki, we seem to have some musical tastes in common. (And then, I'm of the generation that thinks Seattle and great music were once one and the same.) Anyway, moving along.
- Oh, yes, I should have clarified that about the Antipa photo. In any case, I'll be commenting on the deletion page as my next move. Dahn 22:09, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
