Could you please explain...

I saw you replace Category:Nunavut with Category:Canadian North. Could you please explain this replacement?

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 23:17, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, the sub-cat. Category:Resolute, Nunavut is still in there. Greetz, --Mattes (talk) 05:47, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Please help replace this outdated license

Hello!

Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.

The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.

Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.

The images we would like you to check are:

Hallo Mattes, ich wollte die Kategorie Munich Altstadt buildings ursprünglich in die übergeordnete Kategorie verschieben und habe erst dann gesehen, dass es eine Kategorie Vindelikerhaus gar nicht gibt, und in Lueg ins Land passt es nicht so richtig rein. Gibts eigentlich auch eine Kategorie für ehemalige Gebäude? Bisher habe ich da in Commons nichts gefunden.

Soweit ich weiß, enthält nur der rechte Teil des Vindelikerhauses, der nicht bemalt ist, Reste des alten Wachturms. Dort ist sogar noch eine Schießscharte erhalten. Hast du auch ein Foto, wo das zu sehen ist? Grüße --Bjs (talk) 11:24, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Bjs! Freut mich, dass Du meine Fotos verwenden konntest. Die Schießscharte fotografiere ich Dir mal im Ende Februar, ich bin erstmal noch in Unterfranken. Es gibt für die ehemaligen Gebäude die Ober-Kat. "former buildings", siehe auch User_talk:Mattes/Archive_3#Category:Schwarzes_Haus. Schön, dass Du so viele Artikel über die Münchner Geschichte geschrieben hast. Lueg ins Land paßt tatsächlich nicht, weil das Gebäude in der Marienstraße situiert ist ... MfG, --Mattes (talk) 22:03, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Hallo Mattes, die Diskussion former/demolished habe ich gelesen, in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia ist die Verwendung von "Ehemaliges Gebäude" auch nicht so klar. Ich werde also auch demolished für nicht mehr bestehende und former für in der Funktion veränderte gebäude verwenden. Grüße --Bjs (talk) 19:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
OK --Mattes (talk) 21:20, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

FOP in Italy

Yes, you understand: in Italy there aren't exceptions for pictures taken in public places. So, if your photo shows a copyrighted work of art (note: a car or a landscape aren't pieces of art. Instead, a sculpure or a building are works of art. See COM:DW for further informations about "derivative work" concept) you can't public it under a free license: it is an unauthorized derivative work. For publication, you need the artist's permission. And this is not enough! :( Also, if you are an Italian citizen, you can't public photos about public domain works of art, because on these photo there are also Non-copyright restrictions. If you are an US citizien, I believe that you can public your photo on en.wiki under fair use: see en:Template:Non-free 3D art.--Trixt (talk) 18:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Ohhh, I'm sorry. Only in this moment I noticed that the subject of your shot is not the building on the background, but the police's car! I'm so sorry... I restore the photo immediately. Thank you for your patience.--Trixt (talk) 18:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring! --Mattes (talk) 06:22, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

"Photographs of signs" categories

Hi, I was wondering if you have any objection to the following categories that you created or changed being renamed:

Most of the images at the Commons are photographs anyway, so it is not really necessary to have both an "XYZ" category and a "Photographs of XYZ" category. If you have no objections, I will list the categories for renaming at "User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands". — Cheers, JackLee talk 16:41, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello Jacklee,
Thanks for joining the discussion. Yes I would like to reject that proposal stating that:
  • people may look for just ("Most of the images at the Commons are photographs anyway")
  • we have a "diagrams of signs" also so they is a place for the photographs, too.
Your stated categories ("Photographs of signs in <country>") were recently emptied by a bot (disc.) without prior notice or discussion. I'd like to have a regular discussion the next time prior to any actions ...
I have no idea what to do next, because the Bot owner does not answer.
Greetings from Bad Kissingen, --Mattes (talk) 17:05, 30 January 2010 (UTC) P.S. RE: Bot -- Of course, it is not an owner but an operator.
The problem is that it is confusing to have both "XYZ" and "Photographs of XYZ". Some editors will put photographs in the first category and some in the second, so what will happen is that photographs of XYZ will get split over two categories. Files at the Commons are generally photographs, so that is the default. These are best placed in the main "XYZ" category. Then special types of files can go into specific subcategories (such as "Diagrams of XYZ", "Symbols of XYZ", "XYZ in art", and so on). Will you reconsider? Otherwise, I suggest listing the categories at "Commons:Categories for discussion" so that other editors can provide their views.
If you have a query about a bot move and the bot owner is not responding, you can try leaving a message at the Village Pump. — Cheers, JackLee talk 17:12, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. It's fine with me to delete -- Talk to you later (gotta go) ... Bye, --Mattes (talk) 22:13, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
OK, thanks very much. — Cheers, JackLee talk 06:54, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Please don't revert my edits when you don't know how it works. The source in description page is source of the file, but there's no source and author of original work. I know, it looks old and it's probably PD, but i'm not sure, that's why i added this template. We had some problems with old-looking pictures which really are modern works. Herr Kriss (talk) 02:53, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

The source is stated in the Commons file since 2009-03-09. That is what your concern was about. I thought that you have not seen the URL so I've reverted it. Now you're saying the atuhor is not stated. Yes, that is true. --Mattes (talk) 06:14, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Mattes, in dieser Category stimmt vieles nicht. Die weitaus meisten Dateien darin sind keine Videos sondern Fotos, so dass die übergeornete Category nicht Category:Videos by camera sein darf.

Deutsch: Aufnamen mit dem Kameramodell Fujifilm FinePix S5700 (Fotografien, Videos und Tonaufnahmen)").

Hi Mattes, ich wollte nur mal sagen, ich finde es echt toll, dass du die ganzen Gemälde auf Briefmarken mit den Originalpaintings spickst - ein echter Mehrwert. Vielen Dank dafür. Gruß NobbiP 14:56, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Hab' ja sonst nichts zu tun :-) Ich bin am überlegen, ob ich für fehlende Originalvorlagen eine Kategorie anlegen soll und vor allem wie sie heißen soll. Auf Deutsch etwa "Category:Postwerzeichen, deren Originalmotive noch nicht bei Commons vorhanden sind", aber es muß ja englisch sein. Also wie wäre es mit "Category:Stamps with missing originals on Commons" oder "Category:Stamp original motifs not in Commons"? Man könnte sogar "stamp" ganz weglassen (Kopien-Thematik) Du könntest bitte mal mitüberlegen, weil Du ja genau weißt, um was es geht^^ --Mattes (talk) 15:02, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

I feel very flattered to be in your list of favorite files (twice: Domus Patri and Laus Pluviae). Thanks. The band (officially) is named "Kleuske & the Bad Boys", both songs are from the album "Out There", which nobody ever heard of. Kleuske (talk) 19:49, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

nice songs. I found them by accident ... Thanks for producing and uploading! Best regards, --Mattes (talk) 01:44, 17 July 2010 (UTC) P.S. in the File:Laus pluviae.ogg, children voices can be heard in the background. Is that on purpose?
Yup. The kid is crying "Moooom! It Rains!" (in dutch). My microphone was open by accident (i was recording the sound of rain), but the fragment was too good not to use. Kleuske (talk) 12:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
oh OK! Keep up your production :-) Best regards, --Mattes (talk) 18:30, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
Since you're my biggest (well... only) fan, check this out. I posted my music online, since i did not want to abuse commons as a publication medium. You're free to up- and download it and to spread it around, it's all CC-by-SA. Grusse... Kleuske (talk) 11:13, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Mattes!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Russian consulate-general in Munich

Hi Mattes, some time ago User:Rufus46 took a photo of the Russian consulate-general in Munich for me, which can be found at File:Russisches Konsulat Muenchen-1.jpg. In April 2010, the consulate-general relocated to a new building at Maria-Theresia-Straße 17, 81675 München, and I will be needing a photo of this. Full details of what I need, and why I need them, can be found at: en:User:Russavia/Required_photos#Munich. Is there any possibility that you may be able to help with this photo request at all? Any assistance/advice would be appreciated. Cheers, --russavia (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

No prob until the next two weeks (that's right around the corner of the Constulates I've captured recently). --Mattes (talk) 20:38, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Screenshots from "Earthly Delights" with different resolutions

Hi! Thanks for uploading the high-resolution screenshots of details of Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights". I have been adding them as annotations to File:The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch High Resolution.jpg. However I noted an artifact on File:Bosch, Hieronymus - The Garden of Earthly Delights, central panel - Detail Men upside down (upper left).jpg: some areas of that image appear to have lower resolution than others. I had the same problem when stitching the big image together: sometimes Google Earth appears to serve different resolutions. Could you try to fix it? Thanks, AxelBoldt (talk) 15:12, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Well the reason for that is that I have made screenshots with different resolutions, I assume the photographs of eaxh picure made by Google (at least in their behalf) are made out of one piece. These are professional photographs → Video "Making of". Instead of stichting 'em together try to make a screenshot of a specific section yourself, e.g. with IrfanView. It's so easy that even I achieved to do it :-) Greetings, --Mattes (talk) 16:54, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Well, I don't know whether it's Google, the screenshots or the stitching, but there are definitely two rectangles in File:Bosch, Hieronymus - The Garden of Earthly Delights, central panel - Detail Men upside down (upper left).jpg that have lower resolution than the rest. I have marked them on the image with annotations. AxelBoldt (talk) 12:27, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
I understand now, that might be an IrfanView problem (screenshot). Try to take a look at the original. I'm not able to fix that unfortunately. You might add a {{Tlc}} template and/or contact a graphics lab (Commons/Wikipedias). Greetings, --Mattes (talk) 12:52, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

da niemand die Kategorie abarbeitet, wäre es vielleicht sinnvoller, wenn du die Vorlage selbst einfügst. Dazu gibt es auch ein Gadget unter Special:Preferences einstellbar. Das Ergenis muss allerdings nachbearbeitet werden.

Question about Google Arts Project detail

Hi Mattes, I noticed your recent upload of File:Lastman, Pieter - Orestes and Pylades Disputing at the Altar (detail triangle player).jpg from the Google Arts Project. What confuses me is that the resolution of the image - 756 x 733 - appears to be higher than the maximum resolution available from Google (about 488 x 468 for the same detail). Did you upscale this image, or did Google used to have higher resolution for this image, or what happened? Thanks! Dcoetzee (talk) 22:19, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Contradictory tags: Saying something is public domain and requiring attribution

Hi. At the page https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/wiki/File:Beethoven_-_Piano_Sonata_No._28_in_A_Major,_Op._101_-_I._Etwas_lebhaft,_und_mit_der_innigsten_Empfindung.ogg I found your edit there at 17:48, 27 September 2009 which added the tag/template "The copyright holder of this file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the copyright holder is properly attributed. Redistribution, derivative work, commercial use, and all other use is permitted." while previously Daniel Veesey had already waived his rights to the musical work: "This work has been released into the public domain by its author, Daniel Veesey. This applies worldwide.". That makes the page say that public domain requires attribution which is not true. Thank you for your time. Logictheo (talk) 19:38, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Don't know what you mean, in addition, there is no edit done at 17:48 h in that file. Maybe you're bothered by {{Attribution}}? diff 2009-09-27T19:48:09 --Mattes (talk) 19:58, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
The {{Attribution}} template adds a "You need to attribute" kind of reasoning. Public Domain works do not require attribution. Logictheo (talk) 20:18,20:20, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
"Hello. Don't know what you mean" << I think this helps: On the page it says "Musopen has requested a courtesy in-line attribution in any article this file is used in.". That means from my interpretation that Musopen wishes to be attributed. Now that is only a wish and not a legal requirement. As by their new faq at http://www.musopen.org/faq.php on the section "2. What is the public domain?" where they explain what Public Domain is. Logictheo (talk) 20:34, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Oh, Category_talk:Musopen#Wrong_tag_or_contradictory_tags.3F. I have added at least 20 files with that template. Most or at least old versions of 99% of Musopen-sourced files contain this:

[...] We do ask, out of courtesy, two things. One, that you do not directly sell our recordings for profit, as a great amount of work has been donated to this project, and for the benefit of the public, not profit. Two, we ask that any commerical or derived works attribute Musopen somewhere, to give credit to this project. And for all the film students emailing, yes you may use it in your film, you can then sell the film, containing our music. It's in the public domain afterall.

Should we be nice and include it (which may not be in accordance to PD) oder just ignore the request (wish) ... --Mattes (talk) 20:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello Mattes, do you mind if I nominate category:Joconde for selection.

Category:Joconde should be a redir. The image you've noted is new to me. --Mattes 15:48, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
For this kind of "flat" source categories it seems better (more maintainable) to use a template rather than add them manually ({{From Joconde}} adds category:images from Joconde. It thus does not make much sense have a redirect. Additionnally category redirect seem to be rather incovenient (and thus often get deleted) and it is not clear whether category Joconde means "referenced in Joconde" or "image taken from Joconde" so I don't know wether it should redirect to category:images from Joconde or category:Base Joconde (granted ("Base Joconde" is not very clear either but since it is added through a template it is very simple to fix that).--Zolo (talk) 13:52, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

While Commons policy accepts the use of this media,
one or more third parties have made copyright claims against Wikimedia Commons in relation to the work from which this is sourced or a purely mechanical reproduction thereof.

Permission to use one of your photo for documentary video

Dear Matt,

I would like to ask something about the permission to use one of your photo on Don Muang Airport in our documentary video project. Is it possible for you to email me to discuss further about this? Appreciate so much for your help in advance. My email will be tanyikyu@gmail.com

Cheers, Yikyu

I will only discuss the issue only here. Please specify further details (e.g. URL). Greetings, --Mattes (talk) 14:16, 19 May 2011 (UTC)


Thanks. The photo we wanted to use is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Don_Mueang_Airport_near_Bangkok_-_Skyway_seen_from_domestic_terminal.JPG

1) Are we allow to use this photo in the documentary project under the free use license? Can I know what's the procedure that need to be done? 2) How should the credit be put at the video's 'end credit' screen?

Thanks

Cheers, yikyu

Hi Mattes, bist du der Urheber der oben genannten Datei? Ich habe sie ein wenig aufgeräumt, es war aber nicht eindeutig ob du die Datei auch erstellt hast oder nur von en.Wikipedia nach Wikimedia Commons transferiert hast. Kannst du vielleicht bitte noch den Urheber hinzufügen? Danke schön. --Pilettes (talk) 20:39, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi there! Well, unfortunately I did not take the photograph. I don't know who it took. It was some years ago. Today, I would of course name the author in the file.
"Originally uploaded on en.wikipedia (transferred to commons by Mattes)
This file was originally uploaded at en.wikipedia as Water_Taxi.jpg, before it was transferred to Commons.". Thanks for clean-up. Anyone able to look up the photographer in the original file description (deleted)? Ciao, --14:07, 27 May 2011 (UTC) --Mattes (talk) 16:31, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

WGA images

Hi, I see you are busy categorizing WGA images - great. I thing you might find your task easier with help of {{WGA tag}} template. At the moment it does not do anything except collecting a lot of parameters from each image, but after all images are uploaded it can be used for mass categorization without bots. --Jarekt (talk) 01:33, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Your bot was very busy, 13,759 uploads! Too bad there are some duplicates, too (older uploads by other users). I just use Category:Images of WGA batch upload for finding the uploads. Template:WGA tag is a bit too complicated, it should be presented with a mask just like HotCat. HotCat is working really great (but sometimes does not fill the Edit summary automatically). Best greetings and keep up your work. Maybe Joconde comes up next... :-) BTW regarding the file names: I would like to see the family name of artists at first and then the Christian name, that way the cat piping is working accordingly without {{DEFAULTSORT}}. Anyway it is a great pleasure to get so much addings to Commons, thanks for that! --Mattes (talk) 16:40, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Yes over 5k images were already uploaded from WGA and many of them have minimal metadata. I was working on creating processes for automatically fixing those descriptions, but have to be careful not to delete contributed metadata which goes beyond WGA metadata. The next data set I have my eyes on is artyzm.com - a data base of Polish paintings, since I noticed we have very few examples of some of my favorite Polish painters. By the way, I noticed that you were working on a lot of Institution templates - please do not add categories directly to those templates but by "Homecat" field. Adding categories directly to templates also adds them to images using the templates, and those categories are impossible to remove (in order to move them to a subcategory for example) without a bot. --Jarekt (talk) 17:42, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
Hmm, the templates are widely untouched by me. I guess you mean my addings of valid categories on institutions. --Mattes (talk) 14:53, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
I am sorry I got users confused - it is user:Mattis who was creating institution templates. My apologies. --Jarekt (talk) 15:30, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
The Deluge

Hello. I wonder if a naming mistake has occurred. According to http://www.muian.com/muian05/05Martin.htm the John Martin painting you uploaded and called 'The Deluge' is in fact 'Christ Stilleth the Tempest'. The Deluge is a different painting by Martin. (See also Victorian Web.) Of course, Muian and Victorian Web could be wrong, but would you be able to check your sources and make any necessary amends? I can help if you wish. Thank you. --Wavehunter (talk) 16:51, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Facing left / facing right

Hello ! Since you've created these categories, I was wondering : what are their purpose exactly ? Are they people who really like to find pictures of objects/people facing left and not able to do a mirror transformation of a nice picture but with the object/personn facing right ? I've created Category:bicycles facing left so I'm really not talking about deleting this category, I'm just a bit curious about "what's the point ?". Léna (talk) 09:09, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi! These categories are good for remembrance (find a picture you have once seen) and for subdivisioning of the left and right categories.

Hello! You recently reverted my edits on Category:Munich Airport Riem. Please note, that airports are not buildings. (See en:Building and en:Airport for definitions.) Airport terminals, towers, hangars etc. are buildings (and we have Category:Airport buildings and its sub-categories for them) but airports themselves definitely are not. ––Apalsola tc 20:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Well I think so indeed, any airport is a building in sense of a structure (runways, taxiways, maintenence buildings, tanks, hangars, roads, towers, etc.). I have seen this building assignments to airports everywhere @ Commons. We should discuss this matter on a meta level... --21:03, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
An airport is a piece of transport infrastructure and it may also be a structure, but not all structures are buildings. (See en:Nonbuilding structure.) And, according to wiktionary:en:building, a building is "[a] closed structure with walls and a roof." Airports have no walls nor roof, so they are not buildings.
About the meta level, Category:Airports has not been a subcategory of Category:Buildings since October 2008. Anyway, if you think this matter requires a broader discussion, you can start one, of course. (Please leave a notice at least on Commons talk:WikiProject Aviation.) In the meanwhile, I'll follow the meta level category hierarchy. ––Apalsola tc 21:41, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
Guess you're right, case solved. Thanks. Comparison to en: Parent cat. of w:Category:Airports is w:Category:Transport buildings and structures among others. Happy New Year! --Mattes (talk) 01:14, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
Happy New Year to you, too! ––Apalsola tc 02:06, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Renaming files for sorting purposes

I noticed that you renamed File:Chopin, Frédéric - Opus 25 - Twelve Grand Etudes - a minor (2).ogg for sorting in catogories. Using a sort tag seems to me to be preferable to renaming the file. Sort tags are more flexible, easily edited, and can be tailored to the category. --Robert.Allen (talk) 21:19, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I find the format "family name", "first name(s)" - <further information> useful for the following reasons:
(a) uniform naming (artist's work at least)
(b) sorting w/o catpipes (sort keys) which most files do not have. Renaming is easier
Such actions are scheduled for later OK ... --Mattes (talk) 21:40, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Not OK. I think maybe you should hold off. Adding a default sort key or a sort key appropriate to a category is just as easy, and does not create more redirects with every change. Where is the consensus for this? Where is the discussion? --Robert.Allen (talk) 03:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Cancelled for already existing files. Commons:First_steps/Upload_form#4._Set_an_appropriate_file_name & Commons:First steps/Upload form & Commons:File renaming does not state the format described above or necessary renamings. --Mattes (talk) 06:38, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

We wanted to let you know that we've used one of your pictures in a project of ours: http://litpics.tumblr.com/post/18572319429/lit-peterkin-by-mrs-molesworth-pic-mattes

We created a computer program to generate random pairings of sentences from public domain texts and public domain / creative commons images. Some of the pictures we've selected come from the Wikipedia Commons. All the pictures we select ourselves, but the pairings and the text are random. Of these pairings that are generated, we only post the most interesting combinations.

We welcome any feedback about our site.

Thanks for sharing your pictures,

WikiProject Arts

Hallo Mattes, ich bin interessiert an dem Projekt und brauche auch beim Sortieren der Art Kategorien Unterstützung, weil ich noch nicht so viel Erfahrung habe, die vielen Schleifen herauszubekommen. Wie integriert man denn die Kategorie "works"? zB sehe ich mir gerade Category:8th-century BC works an. Um die Schleife von Category:8th-century BC pottery (13C) herauszunehmen würde ich gerne Category:8th-century BC art auflösen. Kannst Du mir weiterhelfen oder hast Du einen Tip. DankeOursana (talk) 00:15, 9 May 2012 (UTC).

Hallo Oursana, das ist einfach :-)
Die Category:Art works ist die Oberkategorie, darin sind u.a. Works by artist‎ (17 C), Works by continent‎ (1 C), Works by country‎ (22 C) und Works by date‎ (9 C) eingehängt. Grafik: http://toolserver.org/~dapete/catgraph/graph.php?wiki=commons&lang=de&cat=8th-century+BC+art&d=0&n=0&format=png&links=0&sub=1
Deine Frage "Wie integriert man denn die Kategorie "works"?" ist mir etwas unklar... Beste Grüße, --Mattes (talk) 06:59, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Mattes, ganz herzlichen Dank. Meine 1. Frage hast Du mir super geklärt. Oberkategorie von Category:Art works ist Category:Art. Aber es gibt unendliche Wiederholungen. Nicht umsonst ist das Überarbeitungsbanner auf der Seite. 1. Category:8th-century BC works sieht so aus: [−] 8th-century BC works‎ (4 C, 6 F) [×] 740s BC works‎ (2 F) [+] 8th-century BC architecture‎ (2 C, 5 F)

[−] 8th-century BC art‎ (2 C, 12 F)
  [+] 8th-century BC sculptures‎ (2 C, 1 F)
  [+] 8th-century BC pottery‎ (13 C, 57 F)

[+] 8th-century BC pottery‎ (13 C, 57 F). Diese wiederholte Unterkategorie werde ich löschen, oder?

2. art by date ist 4.Unterkategorie zu Category:Art aber auch Unterkategorie zu Unterkategorie Category:Art works ??Geht das nicht ohne diese vielen Wiederholungen?

[+] Art by Wikipedians‎ (1 C, 42 F)

[−] Art works‎ (31 C, 1 P, 468 F)

 [+] Works by artist‎ (17 C)
 [+] Works by continent‎ (1 C)
 [+] Works by country‎ (22 C)
 [−] Works by date‎ (9 C)
  [+] Works by century‎ (66 C)
  [+] Works by decade‎ (192 C, 4 P)
  [+] Works by millennium‎ (22 C)
  [+] Works by year‎ (1058 C, 3 P)
  [+] Works by continent by date‎ (2 C)
  [+] Works by country by date‎ (20 C)
  [+] Art by date‎ (10 C)
  [+] Buildings by date‎ (9 C)
  [+] Illustrations by date‎ (2 C)

3. [−] Art by movement‎ (39 C, 5 F)

[−] Design by movement‎ (7 C)
 [−] Furniture by movement‎ (7 C)
   [+] Art Nouveau furniture‎ (3 C, 19 F)
   [×] Biedermeier furniture‎ (25 F)

   [+] Empire furniture‎ (1 C, 1 P, 90 F)
   [+] Historicist furniture‎ (1 C, 8 F)
   [+] Rococo furniture‎ (1 C, 25 F)
   [+] Shaker Furniture‎ (2 C, 42 F)

Bis auf Shaker u Art noveau (?) Furniture, sind es doch alles keine Bewegungen sondern zeitliche Perioden, so wie Barock, Renaissance......?

4. [−] Art by movement‎ (39 C, 5 F)

 [−] Design by movement‎ (7 C)
  [+] Furniture by movement‎ (7 C)

          [×] Art Deco architecture in Vietnam‎ (1 F)
       [−] Art Deco in Argentina‎ (1 C)
          [+] Art Deco architecture in Argentina‎ (5 C, 74 F) . Auch diese beiden letzten Einträge möchte ich entfernen w Wdh

(2) Category:Works by date repariert
(3) Category:Furniture by historical period, Zuordnungen geä.
(4) Category:Art Deco in Argentina repariert
(5) Die Hilfeseite ist Commons:Kategorien. Es ist unpraktisch, dass die Kategorien in englischer Sprache gehalten sind. In ein paar Jahrzehnten sieht es vielleicht anders aus :-) --Mattes (talk) 08:12, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Mattes,

ich glaube Deine Umsortierung ist nicht gut. Es passt nicht in Category:Events by date, da findet es niemand. Man kann es doch einfach in Category:Categories by date 1 x lassen, in gleicher Ebene wie Category:Art by date und aus Category:Events by date nehmen, braucht man die dann noch? Wichtig ist, dass aus Category:Works by date Category:Art by date als Unterkategorie herausgenommen wird.

Übrigens die ganz große Schleife ist schon bei Category:Categories by time:

[+] Categories by age‎ (9 K)

[+] Categories by century‎ (29 K)

[−] Categories by date‎ (33 K)

     [+] Categories by century‎ (29 K)

Freue mich von Dir zu hören und meine Rückfrage nimmst Du mir bitte nicht übel.Oursana (talk) 17:23, 14 May 2012 (UTC) P.S. Category:Art works war vielleicht doch nicht schlecht, eine Kat. in Category:Art ist auch sinnvoll????Oursana (talk) 17:31, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Man bräuchte evtl. Category:Art works by time statt Category:Art by date. Category:Art works mit Event-Zuordnung ist nicht komplett verkehrt, was nicht heißt, dass das perfekt ist. Category:Events by date und Category:Events müßte mal definiert werden. Ich hatte vor Jahren schon mal so eine Diskussion bei WP (de:Kategorie:Ereignis war 3 x Löschkandidat, nun rot) ...
Übrigens: sofern Du es Dir und dem Projekt gegenüber verantworten kannst, brauchst du nicht um Erlaubnis zu fragen - oder bist Du Dir nur unsicher? Für den großen Bereich Kategorien gibt es hier sicherlich versiertere Mitarbeiter als mich ... Um eine größere Zahl an Meinungen einzuholen, empfielt es sich, die Kategorie-Diskussionen oder das Commons:Forum zu nutzen. --Mattes (talk) 18:30, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

File:Damenschuh mit Fischschuppen-Optik.JPG

Hi Mattes,

es ist möglich, dass meine Anfrage etwas unkonventionell ist. Sollte dem so sein, entschuldige das bitte. Es geht um das Bild "Damenschuh mit Fischschuppen-Optik.JPG" (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Damenschuh_mit_Fischschuppen-Optik.JPG) bzw. die Schuhe selbst. Habe das Bild gesehen und bin völlig fasziniert von den Schuhen. Muss sie unbedingt meiner Freundin kaufen, sofern es sie noch gibt. Leider habe ich sie im Internet auch nach ewiger Suche absolut nicht (mehr) finden können. Gibt es eine Chance, dass Du noch weißt, wie der Hersteller heißt? Ich würde mich wirklich sehr freuen. Vielleicht finde ich sie dann doch noch irgendwo. Sorry nochmal für die egoistische Anfrage.

Ich danke Dir schon jetzt,

Niklas

Soweit ich sehe, wird unterschiedlich sortiert, Richtlinien gibt es nicht. Ich finde die Sortierung nach Entstehungsjahr nur nachrangig sinnvoll, also erst Künstler, Werkname, Museum und dann Jahr. So sind die Bilder in großen Kategorien auch von allen auffindbar, denn gesucht wird meist ein bestimmtes Bild nach Titel zB Mona Lisa. Wer kennt schon das Entstehungsjahr. Auch kommen so gleiche Themen zB Madonnen, Kreuzigungen nebeneinander.Oursana (talk) 23:16, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Die Kategorie wurde von User:MrPanyGoff angelegt. Generell ist die Hinzufügung des Entstehungsjahres in Kunstkategoriennamen nur zur Unterscheidung notwendig (wenn nicht, sollte es weggelassen werden). Commons:Kategorien sagt nichts zu Kuntwerk-Kategorien und Commons:WikiProject_Arts/Manual_of_Style#Piece_of_art_categoriesist noch ausbaufähig.... --Mattes (talk) 09:24, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Danke für den Link, das sieht ja super aus. Wahrscheinlich habe ich bei meinen Änderungen Sorting and (their) order (wer ist their??) und Catsort nicht verstanden, oder meinst du categorizations and their order Du hattest b.File:Jacopo Tintoretto - Solomon and the Queen of Sheba - WGA22651.jpg meinen sortkey Solomon and the Queen of Sheba,1545 zurück zur Jahreszahlangabe verändert. Dann wäre bei Dir entgegen deiner Antwort doch das Jahr vorrangig. Grüße Oursana (talk) 11:44, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Die Kategorie für Werke eines Künstlers sollte schon zuerst nach dem Jahr geordnet werden. Wenn kein Jahr zur Verfügung steht, wäre der Werkname (idealerweiese in der Originalsprache) als Ordnungskritierum für die Kategorieneinordnung zu verwenden, soweit meine Idealvorstellung.
Ich finde meine selbstgewählte(!) Rolle des Alleinentwicklers für das „Kunstverwaltungsportal“ etwas anstrengend, vor allem wenn andere (z.B. Du) mehr Sachverstand in dem Metier haben. Es ist ein Gratwanderung zwischen „Mensch, der prescht ganz schön vor“ und „die Kunstleute haben keinen Plan“. Daher finde ich es begrüßenswert, dass Du da mitmachst. Ergänzungen, Korrekturen und neue Inhalte kannst Du gerne ohne Rückfragen direkt vor Ort vornehmen. Geht schneller und ist unkomplizierter :-) --Mattes (talk) 16:41, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Danke Mattes, Du stellst Dein Licht grundlos unter den Scheffel.

Bei der Sortierung bin ich nicht Deiner Meinung. Zu diesem Punkt würde ich gerne einen breiteren Konsens haben. Die Dateien sollen von allen gefunden werden. Nehmen wir mona Lisa,da weiß docj keiner das Datum. Vielleicht können wir uns das mal anhand von Beispielen anschauen.

Übrigens bin ich begeistert von dem Projekt Alte Pinakothek. Ich habe da einiges verändert, einiges kommt vielleicht noch. Ich halte mich am liebsten an die websides der Museen.

s.

Ich halte NICHTS von der allgemeinen Sortierung nach Jahren. Die Software müsste das können müssen (nach Vorlagenparamtern sortieren), tut sie aber nicht. Am besten finde ich, wenn die Files nach ihren Namen sortiert sind, und wenn einige etwas ausreißen, kann man sie dann ja in die sonstige Ordnung der Kategorie reinsortierten. Bei der Kunst ist das meist gar kein großes Problem, aber die Sortierung nach Jahren macht die Kategorien oft genug unnötig unübersichtlich. --AndreasPraefcke (Diskussion) 17:53, 9 July 2012 (UTC) Grüsse Oursana (talk) 14:44, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Beim Namen des Kunstwerks müßte man sich dann noch einigen, welchen Titel man hierfür verwendet, wenn der Künstler das Werk nicht zu Lebzeiten betitelt hat. --Mattes (talk) 15:17, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Stimmt; AndreasPraefcke hat schon recht, am besten von selbst, ist aber abhängig von guter Dateibenennung, Problem der Vornamenverwendung.Oursana (talk) 15:34, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
(zum Diskussionsbeitrag von Oursana]], 21 August 2012, 11:44) Mit "categorizations and their order" meinte ich die Abfolge von Kategorienzuordnugnen. Das Thema ist allerdings ziemlich unwichtig (Hauptsache die Künstlerkategorie ist an erster Stelle). --Mattes (talk) 16:08, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Jerusalem

Hallo Mattes, hast du hier http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Israel_Batch_1_(999).JPG auch ein Bild vom Inneren der Kirchenruine "St. Maria der Deutschen" aufgenommen? Da fehlt bei Commons noch was Aussagekräftiges! Gruß --Chris06 (talk) 14:34, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Muß ich mal nachsehen, ich habe noch einige Bilddateien von Israel zu Hause. --Mattes (talk) 17:44, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Ich glaube du hast da aus Versehen zuviel eingefügt. --McZusatz (talk) 21:35, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

ja und das ca. 300 Mal. Liegt an der kleinen Textbox beim Commonist (hätte ich vielleicht auch vor dem Aktivieren überpfüfen sollen) --Mattes (talk) 11:52, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
