Fontaine, cheval, copyright

Bonjour.
Sois rassuré, la loi française protège les oeuvres avant qu'elles ne soient versées dans le domaine public "seulement" soixante dix ans après la mort de leur auteur. Frémiet étant mort en 1910, c'est tout bon. Ceci posé, je te le dis, soixante dix ans c'est drôlement long !! J'ai détruit de nombreuses photos de sculptures parisiennes rien que pour ça et ça me rend furieux ! J'ai aussi quelques images en réserves d'oeuvres d'auteurs morts en 1940 et j'attends le premier janvier prochain avec impatience, crois-moi. Mais au moins, pour ce cheval-là, je suis sûr de moi ! Tu peux donc apporter ton soutien à cette magnifique image l'esprit libre ;) ! Amicalement depuis Paris,--Jebulon (talk) 22:12, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Allo!

Merci de ta reponse! Ca me fera plaisir de donner mon support a ta photo, car elle est tres bien reussie! Au Quebec, c'est "seulement" cinquante ans. C'est long aussi, mais je ne sais pas s'il y a une loi contre la photographie de sculpture. Amicalement de Montreal, Nicolas M. Perrault (talk) 23:24, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Velatrix!

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.

Salut,
Alors, vas là: [[2]] et change premièrement le Québec et le Noveau Brusnwick dans une couleur plus claire analogique au français dans les provinces hors Québec et Nouveau Brunswick; et deuxièmement, tire le bleu foncé de tous les territoires dans le Nord et de l'Alaska - au minimum.

"cancelling perspective"

You made a row of perspective "cancelling" in fossil photographs. Perspective transformation cannot be cancelled for skull photographs, a photograph could approach an isometric view at few meters of distance at least, but the hidden features at close distance cannot be reinvented by changing the image, without you even knowing the angle at which it is taken. Also some fossils have special deformations or custom shapes that give them a look you may not feel comfortable with, and without knowing that shot angle, you have no way to know if you're "correcting" the photograph angle or actually the real skull shape. I'm talking of examples like Arago21, or the very close photo of Miguelon (Atapuerca). That's messing raw information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UtaUtaNapishtim (talk • contribs) 22:20, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for dropping by. Good point, but angled images, in my opinion, do more damage to the encyclopedia by looking botched than transformed (not "corrected") images. Nicolas Perrault III (talk) 22:59, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

The original photographs do more damage than your personal feeling of what they should look like ? That's fine if you recognize it's your opinion. In this case it is better to create a separate image where you mention clearly that you introduce free, personal, artistical modifications to an original image, so people can appreciate that modification themselves and pick between the two, and readers would understand that there is another version. The images of the fossils I've mentionned above, really look like different fossils after your modifications. This is not a tiny problem, because publications in nature/PNAS/Elsevier-linked journals cannot be reproduced, most pictures of Spain fossils are made by a professional photographer who lives on the licensing of his pictures... so theoritically teachers and professors only have wikipedia images left, provided by independent contributors who take the photos as they can in museums. So they may not feel like the best shots in the world but they are the one we find on google and that are the most reproduced in the end. If you create a different shape on your own feelings, you modify raw data that is used to communicate and teach. Arago 21 has nearly no prognathism after your modification for example. The low-angle close-up shot of Miguelon turns into a front view after your modification. I have not checked all your other modifications, but that's not much a scientific behaviour and again you have no clue to base your modifications on. -- UtaUtaNapishtim (talk) 12:03, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

A comment aside as well, it's cool when images are minified :) Wikipedia looks free but actually it's not, people pay for other people : the images you modified were few hundreds of Ko, your modifications were >1Mo with sometimes a bigger resolution. You can use tools like tinypng.com to reduce the size of your uploads. -- UtaUtaNapishtim (talk) 12:41, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Venezuela inflation

@ZiaLater: Hi and thanks for dropping by. Happy to read you like the graphs. I'll correct the graphic error as soon as I can (good eye for spotting that), but I was planning on waiting for it to reach 1,000,000 to the USD before updating. That way I can update the vertical lines at the same time. Cheers Nicolas Perrault III (talk) 08:40, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

File:Venezuela inflation on the black market (DolarToday) on a logarithmic scale.png

As of June 2018, XE.com is still referring to the nonexistent or outdated DIPRO exchange rate. Switch to other references, such as the Central Bank of Venezuela to see the DICOM exchange rate. Look under the DICOM column: FX for first quarter 2018, FX for second quarter 2018. You should see a huge spike on the official rate after February 2018. Eyesnore (talk) 17:21, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

One thing is that XE stopped updating their information for the Venezuelan currency. As a result, the notion that the Venezuelan bolívar has two official exchange rates is invalid after February 2018 because it was eliminated by the central bank and the Venezuelan government. The sole exchange rate for the Venezuelan bolívar is the DICOM auction rate. Eyesnore (talk) 17:40, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

@Eyesnore: Got it, I couldn't find the info in the files you attached, but I got them from here: Tipo de cambio. I updated the image. Nicolas Perrault III (talk) 17:50, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Interested in talking about Venezuela inflation

Hi, Nicolas.

My name's Chris Alcantara, and I'm a reporter with The Washington Post.

I am working on a story about the ongoing crisis in Venezuela and found your graphic showing the value of the USD compared to the Bolivares fuertes.

I am curious to know how you calculated the data and made the chart. Would it be possible to get in touch with me? My email is chris.alcantara@washpost.com.

Thanks for your help, and I look forward to your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chriswapo (talk • contribs) 19:13, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

(Copy of answer sent by email.)

Hi Chris, thanks for getting in touch regarding the Venezuelan Bolivar. I'm a regular reader of the Washington Post and I'll help you with pleasure. I visited Venezuela (Merida, Puerto Ordaz, and Santa Elena de Uairén, March-May 2016) and would like to give you some background details. Hopefully, these will give you an idea of what the numbers on the graph mean to people in Venezuela.

There are two lines on the graph: the black market rate and the official rate. The black market rate is the one on dolartoday.com (one "l" in the word "dolar"). I visited perhaps a dozen black market dollar traders in Venezuela and this was the standard they used. Traders of Merida would visit Caracas with dollars that they got, for example, from tourists, and buy bolivars with those dollars at the rate published on dolartoday (1:1100 for most of my time in the country). Back in Merida, they would then sell those bolivars for US dollars typically at the 1:1000 rate. The ~10% difference in exchange rates between Caracas and elsewhere in Venezuela accounts for the risk the trader takes in visiting the dangerous capital city. The traders had to visit Caracas to buy US dollars often, since they never wanted to sell large numbers of US dollars at once. (The value of the bolivars they received in exchange for US dollars could melt fast.)

The historical black market exchange rates are available on dolartoday: https://dolartoday.com/indicadores . You'll see a graph titled "Dólar libre en Venezuela 2017-2018". Click on it to download the spreadsheet. It goes back to 2010. I attach to this email the modified version of the spreadsheet used to create the graph on Wiki Commons. The version I attach (but not the one on dolartoday.com) includes the official government exchange rate. This is from the Banco Central de Venezuela (BCV): http://www.bcv.org.ve/estadisticas/tipo-de-cambio . Click on the first cell of the second table on that page, the one at the intersection of the line that reads "Tipo de cambio de referencia" (Reference exchange rate) and the column that reads "Diario" (Daily). The BCV spreadsheet covers 2018 only. For earlier dates, I used xe.com, although they seem to have stopped updating the USD:BSF exchange rate.

When I was in Venezuela, nobody seemed to use the government exchange rates to convert US dollars into bolivars. The doors to the official exchange booths at the airport were open and the lights were on, but there was no one at the booth to actually convert the money. I peeked inside to see what rates they offered and two men from outside the booth immediately ran toward me, assuring me that they would give me a twice as many bolivars to the dollar as the booth advertised.

Yet in theory, at least in 2016, it was possible for a Venezuelan to exchange bolivars for US dollars with the government at the hugely advantageous official exchange rates. Find a US dollar on the ground? Exchange it for 1000 bolivars, then exchange those 1000 bolivars at the official exchange rate for 100 US dollars. But in practice, the government would only allow Venezuelans to buy a small number of US dollars when they were planning a trip outside the country.

I must highlight, the legal exchange booth at the airport traded --- or offered to trade, for I have not seen anyone use it --- at the 1:200 or 1:300 rate, not at the 1:10 official rate. There were hence two legal rates and it is untrue that the government expected tourists to buy bolivars at a rate 110 times lower (1:10) than that of the black market (1:1100). User Eyesnore on Wiki Commons tells me on my talk page that this official double standard was abolished in February 2018. Only the equivalent of the 1:200-300 exchange rate, seemingly established by auction, survives.

Don't hesitate if you have questions. I'll gladly read your article. Nicolas Perrault III (talk) 02:53, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Venezuela inflation on the black market (DolarToday) on a logarithmic scale.png

Inflation is nearly 6 million per 1 USD. Just thought you should know.--ZiaLater (talk) 20:33, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: Thanks for the heads up! As you can now see on the image page, the chart is updated every three months (next time 27 September) or whenever the bolivar is worth three times less (next 10,000,000 BsF to 1 USD). I will nevertheless make an exception on Monday August 20th because the country is converting the currency from the Bolivar fuerte to the Bolivar soberano (worth 100,000 more). Regards, Nicolas Perrault III (talk) 14:10, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, I was going to mention that as well. Will you still include the fuerte as well since they are only removing a few zeros?--ZiaLater (talk) 20:00, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: Yes both the fuerte and the soberano will be on the chart. Two things will change. First, the y-axis will be numbered 10; 100; ... ; 1,000,000 BsF; 100 BsS; 1000 BsS, etc. Second, the fuerte line will remain blue but the soberano line will be of another colour. Cheers and thanks for your interest. Nicolas Perrault III (talk) 05:05, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: All done, hope you like it. Nicolas Perrault III (talk) 17:42, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

No license for File:Deutschlandlied.ogg

Dear Nicolas,

Your file File:Deutschlandlied.ogg lacks a free license. While the composition is indeed PD, there is no evidence that the recording is. You originally tagged this as only relates to the copyright of the composition without taking the recording into account.

Sound recordings were not eligible for federal copyright protection in the U.S. before 1972; instead, state common-law copyrights protected them; only in 2018, with the passage of the Music Modernization Act, did these older recordings become eligible for federal protection. In any case, somebody else tagged this recording as 1924–1963 without renewal; since it would not have been able to be registered during this period, this does not make sense.

Besides this, Commons policy requires that recordings be out of copyright in their original country as well. Assuming that this recording originates in Germany, there is indeed a fairly good chance that it is from before the 1960s (the oldest protected recordings). In this case, it could potentially be tagged PD-US-Record, leaving its status pending the discussion on that category. To do this, however, you would need to establish the actual dating and source of this recording.

Thanks.

Hi Velatrix,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed File:Venezuela inflation on the black market (DolarToday) on a logarithmic scale.png is out of date. Could you update it? Thanks again. NoonIcarus (talk) 10:58, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

File:Range of NeanderthalsAColoured.png and File:Range of Homo neanderthalensis.png

Hello, Nicolas Perrault III.

In File:Range of NeanderthalsAColoured.png, can you color the two Caucasus countries Georgia and Armenia in orange, because they are located in Asia, not Europe? Or create a new color and thus a new category for the Caucasus countries? While the three Caucasus countries of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia are in Asia, they are not part of the Middle East either.

Can you add Georgia and Armenia in File:Range of Homo neanderthalensis.png? They have been forgotten.

Yours sincerely, Oirattas (talk) 00:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
