Diadumenos

Hi Shakko, I reverted your edit of Image:Farnese Diadumenos BM 501.jpg: the Farnese Diadumenos is considered a copy after an original by Phidias, not by Polykleitos. The ponderation is not the same: the foot of the free leg is not drawn back and raised as in typical Polykleitan contrapposto. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 09:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, surely, I see you know the subject. I'm just making the article about Phidias in russian wiki (ru:Фидий) and I've found how poorly is his gallery in wikimedia (Category:Phidias). Shame upon us! Maybe you have something free to add? Athena Lemnia e.g. or good Promachos? --Shakko 11:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Image:8651 - Milano - San Marco - An. - Adorazione dei Magi (sec. XVII) - Foto Giovanni Dall'Orto 14-Apr-2007-detail.jpg

Hallo. Of course you have the right of producing derivate images from images already existing on Commoms. But a mere detail cut from one existing picture is considered a duplicate, and as such deleted. Is there any particular reason why you need the detail? If so, please make it clear in che caption/description. Othewise the duplicate image should go. Thank you. --User:G.dallorto 16:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for uploading this interesting fresco. I've cut a detail and worked with it in Photoshop, trying to remove perspective distortions because of lower point of shooting - in that program you can move the photos in 3D. Look, now it is good here in article[1]. Grazie once again, the camels are charming. --Shakko 19:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Painting or mosaic?

Hallo, it is painted using the fresco technique. So it should be classified as Category:Frescos of crucifixion. Best wishes. --User:G.dallorto 14:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Please...

add a russian description to the aliases of Category:Carl Timoleon von Neff. And to the names of these Russian nobilities in too. Their correct names must be ...volfa, or? Are they famous in Russia? Or is there an article about this family in wp.ru? Sorry, I don´t speak Russian. Greetings from Berlin Mutter Erde 11:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, thank you for that :-). And if I have a another problem with the Russian language, I will come again. Thanks and greetings. Mutter Erde 17:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Hi Shakko, have you seen this guy? Court painter Jean-Louis Voille. He´s nearly forgotten and so some art dealers like to attribute his works to the more famous (and therefore more expensive) Vigee-Lebrun. Have you seen his works on Russian websites? Greetings from Berlin Mutter Erde 14:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Toledo

Hello, Shakko, congratulations for your categorisations of the monuments of Toledo, they were needed!

I have changed the images you included in Category:Bab al-Mardum to Category:Cristo de la Luz (Toledo), because they correspond to the same building. This hermitage has had several names according to their historical use ( mosque and church)and culture. The Bab al-Mardum is the Arab gate of the city close to which the little mosque is located. So the mosque was named the Jimá Bab al-Mardum, meaning Jimá=mosque and Bab=Gate or Door. As the proper Bab al-Mardum, the gate, still exists, I think that it is clearer to use the other denomination, more widely spreaded, of Cristo de la Luz, or if not, Mosque of Bab al-Mardum. The category Category:Bab al-Mardum is still useful to include the images of the gate, but unfortunately I haven´t found any in Commons. Congratulations again for your work, and see you!--Balbo 18:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

See the gate. Note that the mosque can be seen at the end of the street. [2]

--Balbo 18:48, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I have uploaded some flickr images before. I will try to find a free one of the gate. Cheers!--Balbo 19:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Kind regards Dwsolo (talk) 19:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Your request

The statue you mention is not in Palazzo Barberini but in the Centrale Montemartini museum. However, I did not visit this museum recently (last time was in year 2000) and I do not have the picture you need.

My suggestion is to contact the uploader to check whether s/he can provide a better and bigger scan. Getting pictures in museums in Rome is becoming harder and harder, since they aer forbidding taking pictures and publishing them without their consent (I had to delete all my picutres of Museum di Villa Giulia because they complained with WikiCommons), therefore an ancient picture of the statue would possibily be the best solution after all (they can't sue a dead photographer.. :-) ). My best wishes. Giovanni Dall'Orto --User:G.dallorto (talk) 22:42, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Stschipatschow (German spelling)

Hi Shakko, I'm looking for a Russian AND English transcription of the poet in File:Bundesarchiv Bild 183-14809-0004, Berlin, Schriftsteller-Besuch.jpg. His works were sold in East Germany as Stepan Petrowitsch Stschipatschow (not Stschipatschew). In 1948 he has won the Stalin Prize. Perhaps you can help. Regards Mutter Erde 78.52.38.154 15:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

here is he - ru:Щипачёв, Степан Петрович. I think Stepan Petrovich Schipachev will be ok.--Shakko (talk) 16:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I have found some more pics for Category:Stepan Petrovich Schipachev.

Regards Mutter Erde 78.52.38.154 17:34, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

may be this one?[4] Georgiy Vasiljevich, Георг (Георгий) Васильевич Мясников. What you think about this photo, one person?[5] He knew Shipachev. But I can's say exactly without initials, "Mjasnikow" means "Butcher's son", quite often surname.--Shakko (talk) 17:47, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Glasses are same model, anyway ))) I think you can write that is Georgiy Vasilevich (?). At that page, his memoirs, he is writing: "Yesterday died Stepan Shipachev", so I think, it is nice guess.--Shakko (talk) 18:20, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I've found the article ru:Мясников, Георг Васильевич, very big. I'll go to ask its author. --Shakko (talk) 18:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

YEP, I think that looks good. Here's a better pic to show him

author said:

Подпись под снимком - «профессор Мясников». Георг Васильевич Мясников, которому посвящена статья, не имел ученого звания. Кроме того, в мае 1952 года ему было только 26 лет, а человек на снимке явно старше. Я думаю, что на снимке изображен профессор А.С. Мясников, редактор книги Г.С. Черемина «ОБРАЗ И. В. СТАЛИНА В СОВЕТСКОЙ ХУДОЖЕСТВЕННОЙ ЛИТЕРАТУРЕ», в которой есть сведения и о поэте Щипачёве. --AAA333 23:23 мск, 20 марта 2009 (UTC)

translate:«Georg Mjasnikov never had professor's degree. Also, in may 1952 he was only 26 years old, and man at the picture is much older. I think, that it is professor A.S. Mjasnikov, editor of the book Image of Stalin in soviet literature, which also included materials about Shipachev».

• Hi Shakko, who might be A. Wlassow, architect, bureaucrat, member of the academy?

Why did you add Category: USA in history paintings? The event depicted here happened in Canada, not the USA. Geo Swan (talk) 04:03, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

pardon, didn't learn it in school 0_0 Removed in Canada in history paintings, you could do it by youself.--Shakko (talk) 06:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

...in France

Re: this edit, I know these categories are in wide use, but I was hoping you could tell me what they are supposed to include. I would think that a painting that is "in France" would be one that is physically located there; a painting "from France" or "of France" would be one made there and/or painted by a French person. You tagged the Gerome painting I linked to as being "in France," but it's presently located in the United States. Please let me know your thoughts. Cheers, Postdlf (talk) 21:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

I thought about its provenance, not current location, to be true. And word "orientalistic paintings in France" for me was like "french paintings in orientalistic genre". If you want, you can ask bot to remove all this to category "orientalistic paintings from France".--Shakko (talk) 08:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I think these categories are used both ways, which is a big problem. Category:Ancient Egyptian statues in the United States clearly isn't using "in" to talk about provenance. Somehow we need to split all of these out to "of" or "from" categories for provenance/origin of a work, and "in" for present location only. Any thoughts on how we can make this happen? I don't yet have any experience on Commons with discussing category renames/mergers; I'm typically a Wikipedia boy. Postdlf (talk) 16:20, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Problem with Template:Creator?

You removed the {{Creator}} template from File:Sandro Botticelli 062.jpg with this edit. Was there a problem with the template position or its behaviour? Because I am also unclear as to the status of Template:Creator in Commons, I have asked at Template talk:Creator#Unclear status in case anyone can clarify what should be done. 84user (talk) 17:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

no, it just problem with automatic categorysation using this template. I'm clearing main category Sandro Botticelli removing cut-details of paintings, and that one is now in category:madonnas of Botticelli. If I can find where we can edit template for it not include picture in main catedory, it would be great. Do you know the way?--Shakko (talk) 20:46, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Category:Coins of Zeus

Hi Shakko. Do you mind if I rename Category:Coins of Zeus into Category:Zeus on coins? It would be more consistent with other categories (category:Athena on coins and so on) and more correct in my opinion: the coins represent Zeus; Zeus did not mint them (cp. category:coins of ancient Athens, which brings together coins minted by Athens).

Belisarios

Hello! How do you known that this picture shows Belisarios? Nothing indicates that, as far as I can see. Jonathan Groß 17:32, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I can't be sure now, it was in December, as I see. It seems to me, it was some wiki article with rare language and not about Belisarios himself. Can't find it now. But now I've found another one page with same information[7]. It is an article about him in Soviet military encyclopaedia (Moscow, 1980) with same fragment of mosaic. I belive it was/is some old classical tradition of indentification. That book has quite good reputation (soviet history books never had any WP:ORIG :) about ancient history - only about communism) --Shakko (talk) 21:20, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure about this: soviet history books never had any WP:ORIG :) about ancient history. Because in the GDR, ancient history was instrumentalised to serve the Marxism-Leninism (slavery -> history of labour movement). But as long as you add your source (the encyclopedia from 1980) to the image description it's OK with me. Yours, Jonathan Groß 07:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

no-no, the ancient history was most acceptable! The real ideological madness begins with christianity and capitalism. This is why all soviet historians and art-historians of sound mind studied antiquity or Renaissance - chains were lesser ^) I meant - ORIG in facts - flesh of hipotesis could be very crazy, but state encyclopaedias feel it's duty to have cheked skeleton of facts. --Shakko (talk) 08:07, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Morosow

Hi Shakko, an exhibition (1930) in Berlin of modern Russian art File:Bundesarchiv Bild 102-10077, Berlin, Ausstellung moderner russischer Kunst.jpg shows a bust of ????

Hi Shakko, you have moved it to Karl Sievers, but he has still the categories of the other Category:Jacob Johann Sievers. Please change Karl's categories too (I can't do it, because I don't speak Russian) And there is perhaps another problem, which only Russian speakers can decide.

Hi Shakko, something is still wrong, I guess. Is there any proof, that the painting in ru:Сиверс, Карл Ефимович depicts Karl Efimovich? Why not Jakov Efimovich according to http://www.abcgallery.com/R/rossika/prennerbio.html#Sievers . Look at the different birth dates. But it is too hard for me without the Russian language. So it might be better to delete the Category: Karl Sievers. Regards Mutter Erde 79.194.88.148 16:20, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Look. Olga's gallery (abcgallery.com) - is not official site. It calls him Jacov. Official site of Hermitage museum calls him Karl. (Here is the page in english[8]). So, he can be Jacov or Karl, but official site of Hermitage museum that goes from museum catalogs is more and more reliable source than abcgallery.com.

Postnikow

Hi Shakko, wp.de names Grigori Postnikow (1914–1978) as the sculptor of Category:Stalin-Denkmal, Karl-Marx-Allee (Berlin), but it's a redlink and not proved by native Russian speakers. How you would transcribe him in English? Is there an article about him in wp.ru? Regards Mutter Erde 92.226.253.86 09:32, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

He is Grigoriy Nikolaevich Postnikov. I've made a stub in ru-wiki for you - ru:Постников, Григорий Николаевич. --Shakko (talk) 10:23, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Wow, you are quick :-). Thank you. There's is a small second problem in de:Stalindenkmal (Berlin), because one good source names Postnikov as the sculptor, but 2 others name Tomski or S. D. Merkurow aka Category:Sergey Merkurov. What do you and Russian sources think? Regards 92.226.253.86 11:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I can't find any information about authors of this sculpture, not for Postnikov, not for others two. But doubts about the Postnikov's authorship are quite justified: in 1951 he was unknown (they took him in USSR's scultptors' trade union only in 1952), and unlikely they give him so great commission as leader's monument in the other country capital: in 1967 there was a little "war" about giving him commission to make Yuri Gagarin's (!!! not even Stalin's or Khrushev's) portrait, 'cos he is "too unknown". Also no more "stalins" in his heritage, as opposed to Tomsky & Merkurov, who have a lot of it. All Postnikov's works are about cosmos, Gagarin, sputnik, etc.--Shakko (talk) 11:47, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

According to the de-aricle this statue was only a gift of Komsomol for Category:3rd World Festival of Youth and Students in Berlin, so it might have been not too expensive. The German communists placed it in the new built Stalinallee. I guess, Komsomol have comissioned the unknown (and cheap) Postnikov to copy a Merkurov statue.

I will add Postnikov with a note "disputed", so you or any other user can revert it, OK? :-). Thanks for all. Regards Mutter Erde 92.230.83.196 14:58, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Shakko, I have found a Soviet guy (important for Berlin history) in 2 cats: Category:Alexander Kotikow and Category:Alexander Kotikov.

"Kotikov" isn't popular surname, kotik means die Bärenrobbe or Kätzchen (surname "Kotov" from Kater is much more popular and there would be problems).

Concerning Postnikov: When there is no Russian source for Postnikov's autorship of the Stalin statue, then it has to be corrected. Shit happens.

Today I have found and categorized two paintings, they might be interesting for your Rossica collection, (because of the "H" in Hau). There are some more beautiful paintings of him to get in the web. But I can't do that, sigh. Thanks a lot and greetings from Berlin Mutter Erde 78.55.3.218 21:48, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I think you should keep info about Postnikov as a version - ru-internet is really poor with information, and the absense means nothing. I'll try to find some more paper books. --Shakko (talk) 08:19, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

here is more Hau and here. I've uploaded some for you. --Shakko (talk) 08:36, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :-). In this thread are some nice big scans. But I have no idea, whether these people are identified or notable. But some paintings might be interesting for cats as fashion in Russia, fashion in 1850 etc. And by the way: Googling for Svetlana Kotikova gives not one source. What's her actress' name?

• Hi Shakko, is there in ru.wp a site for identifying uncredited people as here? It's a pity, the Germans are not really interested, they have problems with the transcription into English, but these people might be interesting especially for Russian readers. Or here, the Soviet general(?) on the left. Regards Mutter Erde 78.55.98.19 08:46, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Burning Bush icons

Dear Shakko:

I noticed that you removed the category: Burning bush icons from several icons of the Burning Bush. I was wondering why you did that. The title of these icons is, in fact, "Burning Bush", so it naturally makes sense to place them in that category. I am interested in your reasoning on this. Than you very much. MishaPan (talk) 15:29, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Shakko:

Thank you for your answer. That makes perfect sense. To answer your question: No, I'm sorry I don't read Russian. It would be very helpful since there are so many wonderful images on Commons that have descriptions only in Russian. MishaPan (talk) 18:19, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

in ru-net also is that portrait Anna, but without author. I'll look more. About Alexandra - it's not my time period, I don't know masters of that time. It seems that second is a fragment from first. Here and here author really is Bodarevskiy.--Shakko (talk) 23:11, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, that was really interesting for me to read the stories of these people, which before were hidden behind the mysterious cyrrilic file names and descriptions.

In Berlin there is a cemetery Friedhof Grunewald-Forst, until 1927 only for suiciders, in which 5 Russian soldiers/immigrants are also interred, who together committed suicide after they have heard, that the Czar and his family has been killed. They have these orthodox wood crosses with Russian inscriptions, and I was wondering, who they were. Perhaps their stories are nothing really special, but if you find someday a note about them, please give me a link. I wil use your link as above :-). Thanks and good night. Mutter Erde 78.55.165.171 22:46, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

do we have a photo of this crosses? I need names, not enough info for find something.--Shakko (talk) 22:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi Shakko, I have to admit a little error. The story goes in fact, that these 5 were so disappointed, that the Bolshewiks have won (the Czar was killed one year later!). I have uploaded one cross here http://i46.tinypic.com/35lf24k.jpg , dated March 16, 1917. Another name I could transcribe by myself is Pavel Taracenko/Tarasenko. Somebody takes care for them, because the wooden crosses are renewed. Regards Mutter Erde 78.55.22.168 10:41, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

He's name is Матвей Логвиненко (Matvey Logvinenko) and looks like the inscription was made by somebody who doesn't know Russian letters. But here is problem with date - 16. III. 1917. No sign of Bolsheviks yet, only de:Februarrevolution 1917 had just passed. I belive they did it 'cos 15. III. 1917 - is the date of emperor Nikolay II's abdication. Also they can't be emigrants - that movement begin an masse only after Civil War. Maybe they were captives that your people had taken from my people during WW1 :) Sad there is no sign of their rank - soldiers or officers? TarasenKO and LogvinenKO are both not aristokratic but simply Ukranian or cossack surnames. In Russian web I can't find information. --Shakko (talk) 11:05, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Yes, they seem to be prisoners of war. But they are interred in this secret cemetery, although the orthodox Russian community of Berlin has its own cemetery Category:Friedhof der Russisch-Orthodoxen Gemeinde Berlin-Tegel, including en:Vladimir Dmitrievich Nabokov. I guess the reason is, that the Russian church (as the German churches) have their special problems with suiciders. Thanks for your help. Regards Mutter Erde 78.55.22.168 11:49, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Of course, it have the prohibition. So, what I think - if they were officers or aristocratic people, could be some notes in memoirs about their suicide. But if they are simply cossack - nobody could write about them... so I can't find. I'll ask some people more. --Shakko (talk) 11:54, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I've asked here http://community.livejournal.com/warhistory/1855693.html - it reads 3700 boys/men who likes military history. Maybe it will work. If you have another photos you can add there in comments.--Shakko (talk) 12:09, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Zwischen 1914 und 1918 wurden fünf Russen auf dem Friedhof begraben. Fälschlicherweise wird häufig berichtet, daß sie sich aus Trauer über die Ermordung ihres geliebten Zaren Nikolaus (am 17. Juli 1918) das Leben nahmen. Wenn das der Fall sein sollte, hätten sie über prophetische Gaben verfügen müssen, da alle fünf bereits vor der [...]

Es handelt sich hier um Kriegsgefangene des Ersten Weltkriegs, die nach Berlin gebracht wurden und auf dem Gelände der [...] untergebracht waren und als Zwangsarbeiter schwerster körperlicher Arbeit nachgehen mußten. Von den drei zuerst verstorbenen, Pavel Tarasenko (+ 8.4.1914), Matvyj Logvinenko (+ 16.3.1917) und Stefan Melikov (+ 25.10.1917) soll einer an Methylalkoholvergiftung, die beiden anderen an Infektionskrankheiten verursacht durch die schlechten Lebensbedingungen im Lager, verstorben sein. Von den beiden später begrabenen Sergej Tschuravel (+ 4.7.1918) und Leo Sunjenko (+ 5.7.1918) heißt es, daß sie den Freitod in der Havel wählten. Sie sollen nach der Oktoberrevolution keine Chance mehr gesehen haben, jemals in ihre Heimat [zurückzukehren?]

Wow, that's great :-). But a detail is unclear: When only the last both were suiciders, why the first three are not interred together with all the other prisoners of war in the orthodox cemetery? Also: Who pays for the graves and the crosses and keeps their memory?

Although their names are now clear, I have uploaded the last of them http://i45.tinypic.com/vpktb4.jpg - as an example for his en:Homesickness. (btw: no ru-article about Homesickness, Heimweh?

• Hi, I have found this: "Zwischen 1917 und 1919 nahmen sich fünf Russen, die vor der Oktoberrevolution geflohen waren, in der Havel das Leben." Steinmann geht um die schweren Holzkreuze herum. "Sie sollen tot-traurig über den Tod ihres Zaren gewesen sein." from http://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/art270,2075516 (This translates: Between 1917 and 1919 5 Russians, which has been escaped because of Oktoberrevolution, committed suicide in the Havel (=river). Allegedly they were (extremely) sad because of the death of the Czar) The same (Carl-Peter) Steinmann as above has told this to a journalist, while walking through this cemetery. Regards Mutter Erde 78.55.62.165 01:06, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
  • I think he said it while walking as a bright story good for telling. Or he may think it then and had discovered the truth only some time later. The dates are quite straight - only in 1918 the victory of Bolsheviks become clear, so it is a legend about 5 suicide that grow up from true about 2. Your question about "detail is unclear" seems quite right for me, but I can't answer. And who is Nico? --Shakko (talk) 17:18, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Old Testament saints

Hi, Shakko. Thank you for your note on my talk page. However, I must take issue with your premise that Old Testament figures are not Christian saints. In the Orthodox Church the righteous from the Old Testament are indeed considered to be saints in exactly the same sense as any holy person born after the Death and Resurrection of Christ. The Orthodox teach that, ever since the Harrowing of Hell (when Christ descended into Hades after his Crucifixion and prior to his Resurrection) the righteous of the Old Testament were released and allowed to enter into heaven, where they enjoy the same level of blessedness as any other saint. So, in the context of an Orthodox iconostasis, icons of the forefathers Adam and Issachar (Праотец Адам. Праотец Иссахар) are indeed icons of saints. MishaPan (talk) 23:06, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

formally you're right, in orthodoxy list of saints classes includes prophets, patriarchs and theopatores (by the way en:List of Eastern Orthodox saint titles is incomplete...). But we never talk about saint Solomon or saint Moses, they are for mind in separate subcategory. I thought is better not to mix them, 'cos I create alphabet saints' categories for innumerable Christian saints. But if you wants to - no problem. --Shakko (talk) 23:25, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Purple Pictures?

Hi,

I was looking at some of the beautiful pictures you uploaded by the artist Borovikovsky, and several of them looked ok on the main screen, but then had a rather bright violet tone on full resolution. This was true for Jelena Pavlovna and Marie Pavlovna in the identical blue and peach outfits respectively and perhaps another can't recall. I don't think my computer is creative enough to produce that on its own, and I don't have them 'selected' as one can do and turn pages/pictures blue.

Your English is ok for me. Anyway, the history of Georgia (and I believe Poland also) are long then 100 yers of Russian annexation during the tsardom.

Knyaz

Hi Shakko,

The category includes people who have the title "Knyaz". Not only Georgians. Geagea (talk) 12:15, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Knyaz is a nobility title that can be equivalent to prince or duke as the article says, I took it from the article. It is not only for Georgians. If you want to remove the duke it is ok with me. maybe is better to remove it from the English Wikipedia article. I also think that category:Graf can be also be nice category. The commons is not Wikipedia, making categories that define the person or the picture is welcome. You have categories like Category:Women facing right, Category:Red Bull Salzburg v. SK Sturm Graz (20100513) ect. They also can be considerd as strange but no. They are ok for cataloging and categoriesing of pictures.Geagea (talk) 21:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

sixtus

I don't know any of such frescos, sorry... it must be interesting.. does it says where?? --Sailko (talk) 13:19, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

The only fresco about sixtus coming to my mind is the one in his category, by Melozzo. we should check the dates, but I would imagine the fresco with those kings set out by the Turks: the byzantine emperor, the despot of Morea, and those countries in the Balcans, like the ungarian (?), the serbian, the bulgars and maybe Skandenberg from Albania.. it could also be the Vojvodina (Romania) duke, but again, we should check at the times of sixtus what the Turka had already conquered and what not... hope it helps.. --Sailko (talk) 19:26, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Self portraits

Hi Shakko,

Hope you don't mind, but I added the sortkeys back because otherwise the subcategories aren't easily visible at Category:Self-portraits. (It's not a problem for Category:Not a self-portrait, but for the other ones). I'm not entirely convinced of the usefulness of all these "by" categories as they make it harder to sort the images at Category:Self-portraits (additional step for HotCat). We might want to review later, if it's worth keeping that. I'd have preferred if we had discussed this before re-organizing it.  Docu  at 00:17, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

<moved talk from User talk:Docu>

But there is already so comfortable template "category tree all" that makes all the subcats visible on the first page? By the way, I've made the new one Category:Self-portraits with wife - please, be my guest to adding pictures to it :) Shakko (talk) 05:19, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

</moved>

You need to click on that first to make anything visible. The "by" category also make it harder to move things from the main category to subcategory. They can help people thinking about the same image from various aspects though.

BTW, I like Category:Self-portraits with wife. Good idea!  Docu  at 19:03, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Category:Knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit

Hello, I saw your move of a file from Category:Order of the Holy Spirit to Category:Knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit. The first category concerns pictures wich show that order, the second category concerns persons having that order. As pictures are in the persons category, it is eventually the persons category which gets Category:Knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit and many users will spontaneously transfer Category:Knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit from the individual images to the persons category, changing Category:Knights of the Order of the Holy Spirit from a series of pictures into a series of categories. Just asking: Is that what you have forseen in making that move? --Havang(nl) (talk) 19:43, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I think you are somewhat overcategorizing these paintings. In particular, I don't think "Paintings by name" is a useful category.

Hi Shakko, I've reverted a number of edits you have made concerning the Category:Paintings of birth of Mary.

Категории

• Уважаемая коллега, Вы писали:

Я вас умоляю, не создавайте категории, не убедившись предварительно, не существует ли она уже. В результате мы тут имеем например, категории landscapes OF russia, landscapes FROM russia, landscapes IN Russia. Лишнее пришлось выставлять на удаление, и все перекидывать в одно. Сейчас титаническим трудом мне удалось прибраться. Теперь у нас есть:

• Category:Paintings from Russia - там по жанру и стилю
• Category:Paintings in Russia - там по эпохам и местонахождению.

Второе. Я, конечно, понимаю, что ленинградская школа - это ваша специализация, но вашими усилиями теперь кажется, что ничего кроме нее в русском искусстве не существовало, если судить по викикоммонс. Поэтому ваше я все-таки отсортировала и сложила в отдельные

• Category: Leningrad School landscape paintings
• Category:Leningrad School genre paintings

чтобы робкие венециановы и шишкины не тонули в этом обилии. Рекомендую вам проделать то же самое со всеми остальлными вашими загрузками. И, ради бога, не плодите сущностей! --Shakko (talk) 19:56, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

• Спасибо за информацию. Прежде, чем ответить по-существу, а тем более что-то исправлять в ранее сделанных загрузках, мне необходимо ознакомиться с тем, как выглядят категории после Вашей чистки. На это нужно время, поскольку давно ничего не загружал, новых категорий не создавал и процесс "чистки" не отслеживал. Работа эта действительно титаническая и прежде, чем ее начинать, наверное имело смысл попытаться обсудить проблемы хотя бы в общих чертах с заинтересованными участниками? С уважением, Leningradartist (talk) 12:08, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

• Из созданной Вами Category:Leningrad School landscape paintings удаляю работы Николая Дубовского, скончавшегося в 1918 и не имевшего к Leningrad School никакого отношения. Пока только начал знакомство с новой структурой категорий. С уважением, Leningradartist (talk) 18:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

• Несколько удалил вручную, но там ещё 24...и все добавлены Вами. Будет справедливо, если труд исправить эту ошибку возьмет на себя опытный автор? С уважением, Leningradartist (talk) 18:58, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

• Идите вот сюда[10] и поставьте галочки напротив Hot-cat и Cat-a-lot. Работа с категоризацией сразу убыстрится в 100 раз и какие надо картинки вы переместите ровно за 1 секунду. Если будут вопросы по работе гаджетов, спрашивайте.--Shakko (talk) 00:47, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Niebelung genealogy.jpg

Как я понимаю, в этом созданном Вами файле как родители Гунтера, Гернота, Гизельхера и Кримхильды в варианте Нибелунгов указаны Ута и Гебикка. Откуда информация о Гебикке? Не только русский перевод Корнеева указывает имя отца Данкрат, но и на сайте австрийского института германистики в рукописи А (строка, обозначенная 000072) Ir vater hiez danchrat. В рукописи B та же строка включает имя Danchwart. В рукописи С строка 00-042 ir vat*er d*er hiez Dancrвt. Fuseau (talk) 09:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

я этот файл создавала достаточно давно, на основе какой информации - не вспомню. Кажется, схеме в ен-вики. Если там ошибка - перерисуйте, или напишите мне точно, что надо изменить, я переделаю в свободное время.--Shakko (talk) 10:25, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Надо внести ясность в то, какие имена где указываются. Мое предложение - в каждой ячейке предусмотреть место для трех вариантов имен (историческое, в Песни о Нибелунгах, в сагах), и пояснить это (возможна проблема с разницей между генеалогиями). Сейчас возникает непоследовательность: в указанном мной случае черным шрифтом указано имя исторического персонажа, короля Бургундии Гебикки, а ниже тем же шрифтом даются имена "его" (точнее, Данкрата) сыновей, взятые из Песни о Нибелунгах (с Gernot; если бы, как с Гебиккой, продолжать указывать черным имена исторических персонажей, надо было бы Gundomar).

Category:Coat of arms of Medici-Habsburg in Palazzo Mellini-Fossi

Hello, I've undone your edition there, but I'm not sure if I am correct. Why have you added it to the Coats of arms of the House of Medici? Is this truly a coat of arms of that house, in the most precise sense of the word (not something that emanated from that house, as that is lready covered in the marshalling)?-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 19:57, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

sorry, i didn't notice that one. --Shakko (talk) 19:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem. I often get confused with those "Coats of arms of the House of X" because people tend to put there every coat of arms of a descendant of the house, especially with marshalling. I believe that only the coats of arms of representatives of the house (the eldest branch, usually, and only one in a given time, the head of the house) should be located there. As finding this implies extensive research work, I'm not doing it for now, but possibly other people are. that's why I asked you. Cheers, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:06, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

this is one uploaded by my today File:Coat of arms of the Medici (pietre dure).jpg. It is ok categorized? --Shakko (talk) 20:08, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for showing me that one, that category Category:pietre dure is something I was looking for, as I have here many pictures of a church with that artwork, but didn't knew what was the name of the technique. I've added some more categories to that coat of arms which will allow for a better categorization in the future.-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:19, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Please don't upload over existing images

Hi, I noticed you uploaded a new version of File:Italienischer Maler des 17. Jahrhunderts 001.jpg in 2009. However, Commons strongly discourages uploading one version of an image over another, unless they have exactly the same appearance. Moreover, although you may prefer your version of the image, I consider it to be lower-quality than the Yorck image. As such, if you want to use it, please upload it under a different filename. If you must upload over an existing file, you should update the "Source" field to indicate where you got it from. There is also now File:Charles Mellin (attributed) - Portrait of a Gentleman - Google Art Project.jpg, which I believe is superiour in quality to both. Thanks!

В принципе, категории статуй и монументов живут без особых хлопот - хотя там абсолютное большинство против свободы панорамы. Откатывать или нет? Не уверен; скорее я бы откатил всё, что не очевидная древность (т.е. автор известен и умер до 1941, или можно подтвердить, что модель сделана до революции). А на последний ваш вопрос тут обычно отвечают: "даже не пытайтесь сказать моделисту, что его выпиливание - не творческий процесс (Don't tell a model maker that models are not creative). Каждая снятая стружка, каждый вбитый гвоздик - творческое решение..." Поэтому удаляют не только архитектурные модели, но и самолётов, пароходов и пр. вплоть до китайских игрушек по доллару за пару. Логики там особой нет - но статистика явно в пользу удалений. См. User:NVO/Wikihistory of scale models. NVO (talk) 10:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

т.е. если свобода панорамы в России когда-нибудь случится, то это поможет? Кстати, вопрос. Вот манекен с костюмом от Шанель. Его фото можно грузить или нет?

В подобном контексте «with donors» – это «с заказчиками». Я заметил, что в переводах «с предстоящим/и» часто опускается, как в «с предстоящим преподобным Сергием Радонежским»: «enthroned, [] with»; [11] переведено как «with the praying». --Thorvaldsson (talk) 13:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Please, don't forget that a painting is not only from a painter, but has a location too (museum, collection, etc.), and has a subject too (Madonna, Saint, monument, landscape, city, etc.). It's important that you give all these categories to a file that you have uploaded, different way, these wonderfull paintings in practice are not to see. Actually I am working to order all the paintings of the Category:National Museum of Capodimonte (Naples), and often I find situations like this, where you give only the painter category, and then the location (Museum) only in the description, and not as category too. I will be very greatfull to you, if you will give the museum category to the paintings that you will upload. For the Museum of Capodimonte, it's not necessary that you give the specific collection category, you just need to give the generic category, and later I will give the correct sub-cat. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 09:29, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

ok. Pardon that I give you work in addition, I hate it by myself too... But when I do the massive upload sometimes it takes so much time to understand what exactly museum is mention. When I have Russian translated name of foreign museum - oh, it's time to cry. For Italian museums situation is better, but I think maybe we should have here redirect of every museum with local and English name (Museo del Prado => Prado Museum, like this). Prepositions are killing me. --Shakko (talk) 09:35, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Sometimes I have the same problems like you. So, when I identify the english name, which is a lot different from the name that I know, I realize the redirect cat. I do it for the different names of the artist too. But usually, it's not difficult to find the correct museum name. If you search "Prado" or "Capodimonte" they are done then in the correct form. Different way you can search the city name (in this case Madrid, or Naples), and then you open the category "Museums in CityName". You need only few seconds or minutes to find the correct name! Have a nice day ! --DenghiùComm (talk) 11:45, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Kremlin Armoury

Hi Shakko. Sorry to bother you, but I stumbled upon this picture recently and in my opinion it shows striking similarity to this one, which is credited in Yuri Miller: Russian Arms and Armour (Aurora Art Publishers, Leningrad 1982. Plate 15) to some Vladimir Stukalov. Furthermore, the series to which it belongs contains 57 pictures taken on August 12, 2009, between 13:48 and 14:04 and - if the pictures were taken at the Armoury - in different halls & floors. This seems highly unlikely to me, assuming there were no exhibitions abroad at the time with easier access to the exhibits. Or am I too suspicious here? --Oberlaender (talk) 05:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

When can I expect an answer from you? --Oberlaender (talk) 23:15, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Armoury has only 1 floor (2nd is - w:Diamond Fund), one easy-to-use suite of rooms, and never has temporary exhbitions at all, only the permanent exposition, which is quite easier to access every day exept Thursdays at the price of 200 roubles. As you can see at my next photo set, same place, 2011: 1, 2, 3, 4 - it was taken in different rooms during only 5 minutes. But for tranquillity of your soul (and mine, as I consider 2009 set quite negligent and poor, and was planned it long before) I promise with the lapse of time to substitute current photos for new ones, that I will do in my next visit to Armoury with my newest and beautiful super-cam. The cataloging of Moscow museums (see Pushkin, Historical) is one of my favorite quests. Sorry that my affection for encyclopaedic data took your time for search, I hope you share that encyclopaedic passion too and enjoy it. Shakko (talk) 07:40, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Well, I wish you all the best with this project and I'm sure Wikipedia will get great benefit out of it. Even so, you should consider thinking again about the circumstances which led to the 2009 Armoury series. Maybe you will come to the conclusion that there was a misunderstanding which can be solved easily with the appropriate applications Commons offers. --Oberlaender (talk) 12:45, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

--Thorvaldsson (talk) 12:45, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

вообще, по-моему одно лицо, действительно. Хотя вон название гласит, что это король Category:Stanislaus I Leszczyński - он тоже был толстый. Думаю, они взяли это имя исходя из трудовой книжки карлика... Но на этом двойном портрете вполне может быть совсем другой карлик, итальянский. Вы, кажется, совершили открытие :)

Я бы не спешил перечёркивать ‘неаполитанскую школу’— портрет не по стилистике, не по датировке не может быть работой, написанной Пьером Миньяром (1612–1695):
Пьер Миньяр (1612–1695)
Сильвио кардинал Валенти Гонзага (1690 –1756)
Прототип портрета ‘кардинала’ является его портрет работы Пьера Сюблейра (1699–1749), датируемого ок. 1740 г. (Капитолийская пинакотека, инв. PC 402).
Я также склоняюсь к тому, что данный портрет был написан после смерти кардинала, завещавшему г-ну Мамо пожизненную годичную уплату суммой в 60 скудо.

Hi Shakko! As I told you last time, I am going to leave next week for holidays in Russia. If you have the chance to meet sometimes, I will be very happy to see you in Moscow. I should be there for 3 days from Sept. 03rd... If you can, then we can talk more about it in next days. It would be nice to set Wikipedian direct art-connection Italy-Russia, haha, dont't you think? :) Let me know, thanks --Sailko (talk) 11:44, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Shakko! I was gonna write you soon.. thanks for all the nice infos, you are such knoledgefull!! I wonder how many lovers Catherine had..... dozens and dozens??

I almost finished to upload my pictures from the travel in Russia.. and I am pleased I sometimes shooted things not yet on commons. For instance at the Hermitage I was the first to upload pictures of the glassware collections and, hard to believe, I was apparently the first commoneers to visit the Eurasian archaeology section.. an entire half floor of the museum never shooted before for commons! If I knew I had taken more and more pictures!! In Tsarskoe Selo I was the first to upload pictures of inside the pavillons of the garden. Nice find out! As regards the modern art I had some pictures of artists in Tretyakov and Russian Museum entered recently in PD, so we had almost nothing in Commons. In the Pushikin Museum you already did such a good job, and I improved some sections of archaeology.. I also revised the categorization of some part of the collections, basing myself on the Louvre scheme. Sooo a lot of job, but almost ended... I still have to upload the old masters at the Pushkin Museum ;) Thanks again for all your help and support!! Now you will find mine pictures too in the Russian categories :)) --Sailko (talk) 14:53, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Pushkin Museum

Hi Shakko. Thank you for all your wonderful pictures ! Now I have a little problem. In this picture on the left side in the background there is a standing female statue. I think that it's the same of this one. But I have difficult to identify it. She is said from Pompeii, in the Museum in Naples, but I don't find it. Perhaps there is a mistake. Can you help me? Do you know its name, provenance, Museum where she is to show, inventory number? Thank you very much for your help and informations ! Cheers, --DenghiùComm (talk) 07:59, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Shakko. Thank you very much for your help. The problems are these: 1) this statue is not exposed in the Archaeological Museum of Naples (MANN); this means that she can be in one of the storages, or that she is not of the MANN; 2) she is said to come from Pompeii, but not in which building or house she was found; often this means that this is a mistake and she was not found in Pompeii but elsewhere; 3) in the MANN we have a very rich pompeian collection, but it is the collection of the Bourbons, the kings of Naples; that means that after year 1860 (unification of Italy as nation) very few findings of Pompeii came to Naples: the new findings was all put in storage areas in the old or in the new city of Pompei; 4) since years we have work in progress in the MANN, now in an area, now in another, and often for these restoration works it's necessary to move completely whole sections (sometime a collection for visitors, sometime storages), that means that sometime it's very difficult too to access in a storage or to find an artifact; 5) it happens that often for very important and famous pieces you have all the pictures and repertories that you need, but for the other pieces it's very difficult to find a picture that can help you to identify an object or artwork. So, for all these reasons, I have very difficult to identify some pieces, and it is paradoxical that sometime it's easyer to identify an artwork when it is abroad in an exposition, than when it is "at home" in a storage. So I will be very greatfull to you for each information that you can give me about that very nice female statue. Thank you so much ! Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 16:22, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi Shakko. Thank you very very much !!! I suppose that the mistake comes from the type called "little Herculanese". I will research more informations about this statue. Again 1000 Thanks ! Cheers, --DenghiùComm (talk) 20:07, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

там же написано, вы английский не понимаете? Потому что она из БСЭ, а это не значит, что она не защищена авторским правом, а также потому, что она маленькая и черно-белая, а зачем такие нужны, если есть эта же скульптура большая и цветная. И что это за "Либо-либо". Не буду снимать. --Shakko (talk) 19:48, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Когда я вешала эту фотографию никаких цветных не было. И я решила другим интересующимся искусством и особенно студентам, как я, облегчить жизнь. Это очень помогает в процессе обучения. И потом - много не мало, чем больше изображений предметов искусства, тем лучше. Но если вам хочется удаляйте... Английский я знаю, а также итальянский и французский, и еще понимаю и говорю на среднем уровне по польски и на литовском. А вы? Либо-либо значит не оставляйте пожалуйста без ответа. Надеюсь, что на все Ваши вопросы я ответила.

в чем проблема-то? вот в категории Category:Volkonskaya tombstone by Martos теперь много больших цветных вместо маленькой черно-белой загруженной вами. Маленькая черно-белая выставлена на удаление, потому что есть более качественные аналоги. Если бы их не было, ее бы никто не тронул.Shakko (talk) 09:41, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

About the portrait

Hello, Shakko, how are you? I still have the catalogue of the museum where the image was scanned from, but I'm afraid it doesn't provide enough information about the sitter. The catalogue has a quite informative note about the painter, but providse little information about the painting itself. It says: "Influenced by Realism and Impressionist style, Maliavine executed this portrait with apparent confidence and quickness. The composition is simple and stripped of decorative arrangements, being focused in the physiognomy of the model, positioned with evident comfort and naturalness. According to V. A. Lenyaishin, director of the Russian Museum of Leningrad, the painting is very representative of the typical portrait production of Maliavine in his artistic maturity.". According to the catalogue, the painting was donated to the museum by an anonymous collector of Rio de Janeiro in 1972. It is listed under the inventory number 1.974 P and dated of 1926. But there's no mention about who was the sitter. The catalogue is quite old (1985), so I sent an e-mail to the curatorial department of the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes asking if they have informations about the sitter. If I get an answer, I'll share it with you, ok? Greetings from São Paulo. Dornicke (talk) 00:00, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Saint Faith lived in Agen, France (Gaul) and died ca. 300 A.D., while "Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia" lived in Rome and died more than a century earlier.

Не создавай, пожалуйста, таких категорий, это некорректное наименование. Для музейных колекций есть ветка категорий "Collections by museum by country", и, соответственно, колекции экспонатов, принадлежащих отдельно взятому музею, группируются в категорию вида "Collections of the <название музея>" (а внутри - по типам: живопись, графика, эстампы, скульптура, прикладное искусство...). --Kaganer (talk) 23:09, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Category:Objects in Moscow State Historical Museum

Hello,

I have seen that you have uploaded a lot a pictures in Category:Objects in Moscow State Historical Museum, so maybe you can help me. I have uploaded ~50 photos on this category (the ones with a "Moscow State Historical Museum - IMG 3XXX.JPG" name), but I can't identify and/or categorize them. I have already checked the museum website, but it's not very usefull. I can't speak Russian either, so there is nothing more I can do by myself.

I don't know if you can identify some of them by yourself, but maybe you can ask on the Russian Wikipedia if some specialist can do it. I can't speak Russian, so I can't find and/or ask the place where to do it.

Category probably should have been given a less emphatic name... AnonMoos (talk) 07:26, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

I can't be sure about the accuracy of term. All I know, that in Orthodox church the three angels visiting the Abraham is the personification of Trinity and it is calling "The Old Testament Trinity" (ru: Троица Ветхозаветная). Is it the same for Catholic and Protestant Church? If is not, the category should be cleaning to keep only the Orthodox images (icons and frescoes) and removing "realistig" Western art. Shakko (talk) 12:56, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Probably "Category:Trinitarian iconography of Old Testament themes" would be a better name for a general category, and "Category:Orthodox icons of Abraham and the three angels" if you want a very narrow category. Some might object to "Old Testament Trinity" because there's no Trinity in the Old Testament according to the theology of their religious group. AnonMoos (talk) 17:52, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

"Old Testament Trinity icon" (ru: Троица Ветхозаветная) is the official term for icons depicting 3 angels and Abe, e.g see Rublev's icon. To call it "Orthodox icons of Abraham and the three angels" will be same mistake as call "Nativity" - "The delivery of child Jesus by woman named Mary" :). So maybe better to keep it. And if you feel sure about Western European art and term - do as you wish, I keep an eye only on Orthodox icons, basing on my education. --Shakko (talk) 18:02, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

RE: Icons by century

I'm sorry, but being Orthodox, icon is not just wooden paintings, but includes mosaics, frescoes etc... It includes everything back to the early days even in the catacombs. This isn't just our definition here in "American Orthodoxy", but is also the definition you'll find in Greece, where icons are also considered more than just iconography painted on wood, and includes anything in mosaic form, frescoes, cloth etc...

Refer to OrthodoxWiki:

http://orthodoxwiki.org/Icon

"Iconography (from Greek: εικoνογραφία) refers to the making and liturgical use of icons, pictorial representations of Biblical scenes from the life of Jesus Christ, historical events in the life of the Church, and portraits of the saints. Icons are usually two-dimensional images and may be made of paint, mosaic, embroidery, weaving, carving, engraving, or other methods. A person who practices the art of iconography is called an iconographer."

Also refer to Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon

"Icons may also be cast in metal, carved in stone, embroidered on cloth, painted on wood, done in mosaic or fresco work, printed on paper or metal, etc."

According to our definitions here in America, and with the English language, Icon refers to anything done to represent Orthodox religious figures and can be in almost any media. It may be a traditional icon on wood painted with egg tempera, or it might be something printed off a professional printer and laminated, or it might be something painted on pottery or clay, or it may be a mosaic, or it may be a fresco.

So therefore, I will not stop uploading frescoes and mosaics to that category, because according to our official definitions in the Orthodox Church, frescoes and mosaics are icons as well as those painted on wood.

Please, do not revert any of my edits in the future regarding this topic. You just reverted hours and hours of my work yesterday, and wasted it all, and I would appreciate avoiding this in the future. --OrthoArchitectDU (talk) 16:39, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

---

I agree with you about most of your points and understand the tree of categories. However, I will suggest that Orthodox frescoes & Orthodox mosaics be under the icons categories, because as I've pointed out, they are icons according to the definition, at least as it appears on Wikipedia (which Wikimedia is associated with). But then again, there are some Orthodox mosaics (like floor mosaics) that aren't icons, so it's hard to decide where to put it. Maybe putting it under Orthodox art is best. Even though frescoes & mosaics are all regarded as icons, they aren't generally kissed and venerated actively like others, even though they receive the same respect.

Is it also possible to change the a category name like Category:13th-century icons into Category:13th-century Orthodox icons, to make it consistent with it's sub-categories? That would also make sure it stays distinct.

I caught my error with the whole Russian icons categories, and tried to fix what I could, to change them to Kievan Rus, but I'm afraid I didn't find them all. That was my mistake once I noticed why it was organized that way.

I strongly disagree with the statement that we can't refer to "Orthodoxy" prior to 1054, and I cannot and will not agree to that. It is appropriate to fit pre-1054 items into Orthodox categories, as well as Roman Catholic categories where they overlap. As an example, the mosaics within the ancient churches of Ravenna should be under both the Catholic mosaics category, and the Orthodox mosaics category.

To have them just under "Christian mosaics" is wrong because Christianity includes not just Orthodox & Roman Catholic, but also Protestants and other groups. It becomes confusing, especially for people. It also makes it look like Orthodoxy is just a denomination that was founded in the 11th Century, and that is absolutely not true.

That whole interpretation of referring only to Orthodoxy after 1054 smells terribly of Ecumenist heresy. It acts like we never existed prior to 1054. The simple fact is that we did, and the Church of Rome was part of us. We can claim everything they had prior to 1054 and they can claim everything we had prior to 1054. Besides which, that rule has already been broken because most Orthodox categories have 10th Century categories, which is 901-1000 CE.

--OrthoArchitectDU (talk) 20:13, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

---

I wasn't really forming my own definition, but going by how it is defined on the Wikipedia article. But nevertheless.

How about, for all Christian art, use Category:Christian art

Then, from 1st to 3rd Century (33-300 CE), we have everything in the Paleo-Christian category here: Category:Paleochristian art

Then, for everything from the 4th Century on (301 CE-Present), we add two more categories, Category:Eastern Christian art and Category: Western Christian art.

Within these, have Catholic art & Orthodox art. Within those sections, have a note linking to the other category, clarifying that art from the other tradition prior to 1054/1204 may also be claimed by both groups.

However, allow pre-11th Century Orthodox and Catholic art in those sections, as long as they are respective to their jurisdiction at the time, so pre-schism Orthodox art has to be of the Four Eastern Pentarchs. This will allow work such as Hagia Sophia to be included in the Orthodox section.

Just as a last, minor note, as far as I know from my research, Ravenna was mostly orthodox, it was just the Arian Baptistery and Arian Cathedral (currently Spirito Santo) that were Arian, the other churches, Galla Placidia, San Vitale, San Giovanni Battista, Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, Sant'Apollinare in Classe, San Francesco, San Giovanni Evangelista etc... were all orthodox. --OrthoArchitectDU (talk) 21:17, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Hallo Shakko, can you help me? I have an English text, do you find another transcription for the word "witgchoura", so I can google it in English or German? The whole sentence is: When the Austro-Italien war brought Bonaparte's troops in contact with the Russian regiments, commanded by field-marshal Suworow, who had introducted the witgchoura, the fashion soon spread to Paris.

I found the word as witchoura also in Spain - but do not speak Spanish... I found one as Witschura in German, but not very helpfull there. Thank you! --Kürschner (talk) 22:09, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Italian museums open to photographers

Hi Shakko! How are you? I tried to send you a message on FB but I don't know if you saw it.

Royal Collection

Hello! Thank you for all of your uploads from the Royal Collection (UK). I think they are wonderful. Would you consider adding these images to Category:Images from the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom as well as the other RC subcategories? This indicates that the itself image came from the RC website (as opposed to a photograph taken by a tourist, for example, or scanned from a book). Also, are you familiar with the {{Creator}} and {{Artwork}} templates? There is also {{Photograph}}, which you might find useful. Let me know if I can help you with any of these.

File:Lampi Catherine II of Russia.jpg -> Catherine II of Russia by J.B.Lampi (c.1791, Palace on the Water)

Could you please give rationale for the name change? It is the only change that you have made without apparent reason, what was wrong with previous name? Vert (talk) 18:39, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

The reason of renaming: in Category:Catherine II by Lampi we have more than dozen portraits of same iconography of same person (Catherine) by same painter (Lampi). Renamed adding the date and museum to mark the difference. Please note format "name+author+date+museum" is much better for filenaming at Commons than simply "name+author". By the way, in version "Lampi Catherine II of Russia" nobody can guess what means "Lampi" (he's not Raphael or Rubens). Even the version "Catherine II of Russia by Lampi" is better. --Shakko (talk) 18:49, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Discussion should be in one place. The difference is reflected in file description, if someone can't guess what means "Lampi" he/she can refer therein. There is no need for file name to provide full description. Vert (talk) 19:02, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

as you can see in Category:Catherine II by Lampi we have more than dozen portraits of same iconography of same person (Catherine) by same painter (Lampi). Renamed adding the date and museum to mark the difference. Do you have any other methods or we should rename them all to "Lampi Catherine II of Russia 01", "Lampi Catherine II of Russia 02", "Lampi Catherine II of Russia 03". It will be better, ah?

Using the preposition "by" shows the respect to other users, even using hyphen ("Lampi - Catherine II of Russia") is better than in previous version. --Shakko (talk) 19:26, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Respect? so maybe you should ask the file uploader whether your modifications are adequate? I strongly don't think so!!! Vert (talk) 21:50, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

I am sorry to upset you, this is such a small thing, isn't it? This is first time for my 7 years at Commons with such problem from another user. It is according to the rule of project en:Wikipedia:Be bold. There is another rule - en:Wikipedia:Ownership of articles. Nobody ever asked the permission to rename files here, you don't own them here, remember? I didn't vandalize it. I didn't even photoshoped it - as I did with another Lampi's "Catherine". It is free lisense here, you know. Do whatever you wants if it will make things better. The author will be asked only when file is nominated to deletion. Once again I'm sorry. --Shakko (talk) 22:19, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

York Art Gallery paintings

Hi Shakko, I notice that you've been uploading quite a few paintings from the ArtFund website, including some in the York Art Gallery. I just thought you might like to know that York Museums Trust has an online collection which has much higher quality versions of most of the Public Domain paintings and lots of information. I hope you find it useful, please use the template: {{YMT Online Collections}} to help the trust track their images. Also, get in touch if there are any other fine art resources in Yorkshire you might want help with. I'm coordinating the GLAMwiki Network Project here and am keen to help!

Hi Shakko, you have created the Category:Tobias and Sarrah a couple of years ago. As far as I know, Sar(r)ah is commonly written as Sarah with one r.

Please be more civil

Hi Shakko,

Handling the deletion requests from today I found some of your remarks towards the images about their uploaders insulting. here you state that the self-portrait you nominated is "ugly". Here you state "not pretty" about a selfie. And finally here you state that the image is a bad photoshop. You are correct in nominating those images, they are out of scope, this does however NOT allow for insulting of the uploaders. These kind of processes are already not very nice to uploaders as we delete their images as being irrelevant. Throwing an insult on top of that makes the process much more painful and does not help us in any way besides making Commons a hostile place. I urge you to express yourself more civil in future requests. A good way to do this is for example to keep the nominations factual, and for similar nominations you can use a similar general line with relevant links, this reasoning for example is nice and informative to users unfamiliar with Commons.

Bots

You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on 30 June 2015. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the API, then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break.

What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is not affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working.

This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015.

If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code!

• The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary.
• Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly.

Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning.

Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the mediawiki-api or wikitech-l mailing lists. Volunteers at m:Tech or w:en:WP:Village pump (technical) or w:en:Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard may also be able to help you.

Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script.

Доброго дня. Нашли малюсенькое изображение одной иконы.

Решила посоветоваться по поводу хотя бы иконографического типа с вами. Если ещё что-то по существу сказать можете, то буду рада помощи. Вот само изображение.

категории

Вот вы создаёте, к примеру, Category:Streets in Moscow Kremlin. Вам не приходит ли в голову, что эта категория логически напрашивается не только в Kremlin, но и в Category:Streets and squares of Moscow? Вы создаёте Category:Exhibitions in Moscow (2015), и не кажется ли вам, что эта категория логически напрашивается не только в Exhibitions, но и в Category:2015 events in Moscow? А также то, что в Exhibitions она должна быть под сортировочным ключом 2015. Это только два случайно выбранных, недавних примера, при том что мне на протяжении многих лет то и дело приходилось исправлять за вами самые различные категории после откровенной халтуры, которая не должна, по идее, плодиться от рук вроде бы опытного участника викисклада а также админа русской википедии? Вы массово создаёте различные нужные и не нужные категории, не потрудитесь ли вы уже создавать их на совесть и не вредить вашим коллегам из Викисклада, или вы воспринимаете их как бесправное быдло, которое за вас всё равно рано или поздно всё вылижет? --A.Savin 21:45, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

ну вы даете, камрад, сколько эмоций, сколько пыла, можно подумать, я обвалила сервер или сожгла Александрийскую библиотеку. Нет, мне не приходит в голову, я не держу в своей голове древа категоризаций на викискладе. Очень жалко, что вы так много лет сдерживали этот гнев в себе, и он наконец прорвался столь эмоционально. Может быть, если бы вы периодически писали, какие категории, по вашему мнению, являются халтурой, или ненужными, мне было бы легче запоминать и обращать на это внимание при дальнейшей работе. Ага, и смысл в вики, что люди делают разную работу и помогают друг другу, и исправляют друг за другом; одному человеку нереально сделать все идеально. Пожалуйста, не бросайтесь обвинениями и указывайте, как именно я умудряюсь "вредить коллегам из Викисклада". Конкретные диффы на ВРЕД, плиз, иначе придержите язык.

NB: моих собственноручных фото (не считая чужих файлов), по грубым прикидкам, загружено сюда уже 10-14 гигабайт. И еще около 25 гигабайт ждет разбора, подписывания (самая тяжелая часть работы) и загрузки. Что является приоритетней для викикоммонс, загрузка файлов или проставление ключей сортировки? Пожалуйста, не хамите. Если такие, как я, не будут грузить фото, вам нечего будет категоризировать. Очень жаль, что это наносит вам такую тяжелую душевную травму. Ежели мой труд заставляет чувствовать вас себя "бесправным быдлом", пожалуйста, либо пишите запросы администраторам на меня с конкретными диффами, либо попробуйте подкрутить где-то свою самооценку. Даю подсказку, люди разные, и при таком объеме загрузок, как у меня, - осторожно, занос бампера более 1 метра; иначе назовем это словом погрешность. --Shakko (talk) 12:16, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Приоритетной для викисклада является загрузка файлов в приемлемом качестве и если они иллюстрируют то, что не представлено здесь и так уже сотнями туристских фоток, которыми только что подтереться можно. Таким образом, если вы считаете, что количество важнее качества и считаете нужным лить сюда десятки тысяч некачественных снимков, при том что, скажем, какой-нибудь Арсенал или Потешный дворец по-вашему непременно должен быть представлен десятками фоток с того же самого ракурса; и при этом забиваете на категоризацию, - то да, вы этим проекту вредите. А уж тем более, если вы сами берётесь создавать категории и создаёте из так, что потом за вас нужно всё исправлять. «Если такие, как я, не будут грузить фото, вам нечего будет категоризировать.» Ой, я плакалъ. Все остальные ваши оскорбления пропущу мимо ушей, повторяться не буду, постарайтесь соблюдать правила категоризации, иначе впредь буду рассматривать ваши действия как троллинг и вандализм, а тролли и вандалы здесь, в отличие от вашей рашкопедии, долго не продерживаются. Всего наилучшего, мадам --A.Savin 13:21, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

так, оскорблениями первый начали заниматься вы. Прошу понизить накал страстей. Пожалуйста, приводите примеры, когда за мной надо ВСЕ ИСПРАВЛЯТЬ. --Shakko (talk) 13:33, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

и про десятки тысяч некачественных снимков пожалуйста поподробней. 700 фотографий в категории Category:Exhibitions in Moscow Kremlin, куда никто, кроме меня, не заливает фотографии, считается? около 1200 в Category:Exhibitions in the Moscow State Historical museum - та же история. Редчайшие экспонаты, никто кроме меня это не делает. Все слепки Пушкинского музея, скульптура Русского музея... это все туфта, по вашему мнению? Что вам от меня надо? я не понимаю сути ваших претензий, могу еще раз повторить - не нравится, пишите мне конкретно как именно и что, потому что я не замечаю этих проблем здесь, потому что это не статьи. То, что вы из-за моих загрузок испытываете сильные эмоции - не является моей виной, и не приносит пользы проекту. --Shakko (talk) 13:49, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Между прочим, если бы вы внимательно прочли мою первую реплику в этой теме, то обнаружили бы, что у меня к вашим загрузкам как таковым претензий как раз нет (было бы в высшей степени наивно ожидать от каждого только фотоматериал качества выше среднего), зато к некоторым из создаваемых вами категорий, а вернее к тому, ка́к вы их создаёте. Но я понимаю, что спорить с вами бесполезно, вы ведь админ русской википедии и посему считаете себя непогрешимой. Этим все админы википедии рано или поздно заболевают, чего греха таить, у меня самого тоже такой опыт уже был, хоть и не в русской вики. В общем, считаю на этом дискуссию исчерпанной, если в будущем обнаружу с вашей стороны откровенную халтуру - будем с вами общаться уже на другой совсем странице. --A.Savin 14:46, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

ДА БЛИН! что я делаю неправильно?! что означает "ка́к вы их создаёте"?! что это за тайное знание? поделитесь со мной им! как именно нужно их создавать правильно, чтобы вас это устраивало? объясните! я не могу, создавая категорию, предположим, для одного дома, ставить туда еще 12 надкатегорий, ставлю максимум две. Объясняю почему: у меня физически не остается моральных на сил и внимательности, на то, чтобы дедуктивно вычислить, что за 12 надкатегорий это должны быть. Потому что я так задалбливаясь, разбирая, подписывая и загружая эти фотки, что видеть их уже не могу, скорее бы избавиться от них, отдать людям. У вас именно к этому претензия, я не понимаю? И я очень радуюсь, что в проекте есть участники, которые разбираются в этом древе категорий, в отличие от меня, и подхватывают эту эстафету (это принцип вики - эстафета). И админская непогрешимость тут ни причем, уж лучше б вы сказали "вы же женщина, вы ничего не понимаете". Это кстати было бы точнее!!! :) --Shakko (talk) 14:53, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Соня, обычно (исключения бывают редко) категория должна влючаться минимум в две подкатегории, чтобы файлы там было легко найти по двум или более линиям. Например, если сюжет в музее - по сюжетам и по музею. Обычно их найти не так сложно, но иногда, действительно, занимает время.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:10, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

я нормально все ставлю, просто не вылизываю. Хочу понять, что он называет халтурой. И мне не нравится в принципе тон, в первую очередь. --Shakko (talk) 17:28, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Всё уже, кажется, я высказал в первой реплике (на случай если спрашивать будете где оная, вот дифф), Ymblanter всё по существу объяснил, вот еще пример, никто никому по 12 надкатегорий высасывать из пальца не предписывает, вроде бы достаточно просто следить за созданными собою категориями и обращать внимание на то, какие же именно ошибки ваши коллеги исправляют. Или же просто сообразить, что если создаешь категорию типа category:Buildings in Vasi Pupkina Street (Mukhosransk), то логически это должно быть включено в Category:Vasi Pupkina Street (Mukhosransk) плюс в Category:Buildings in Mukhosransk, а вовсе не в какую-нибудь одну из них, по вашему обыкновению. Я постоянно работаю с HotCat и Cat-a-lot и столь же постоянно спотыкаюсь именно об это, когда не могу нужную подкатегорию найти там, где она по идее непременно должна быть, при том что есть все основания предполагать, что искомая подкатегория в принципе существует. Что еще нужно сказать? Я прошу прощения: вы мне предлагаете тут целый ликбез по категоризации устроить? Вам не достаточно всего вышесказанного? Мне кажется, вполне достаточно, только вы просто издеваетесь и испытываете мое терпение до предела. То, что вы заявляете, что вам не нравится мой тон - не более чем ханжество, т.к. я по крайней мере хоть на личности не переходил, а вот тут вы меня откровенно оскорбляете, за что, впрочем, бог вам судья, так как к постоянным оскорблениям со стороны таких «коллег» как вы или Ghirlandajo я давно уже привык, а вот троллинг и вредительство терпеть пока еще не научился. Есть еще маловероятный, но теоретически тоже возможный вариант, что вы в самом деле считаете самое себя слишком глупой, чтобы разобраться в категориях (потому ли что женщина, хотя это имхо полнейший бред, или еще отчего-либо). Ну, в таком случае, «всё гениальное просто»: вам не следует браться за создание новых категорий, а ваши фотки лить в те из существующих категорий, что вам на ум придут. --A.Savin 00:14, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

не добавила "Automobile museums in Russia" в "Cars in Proviantskie Sklady museum" вообще-то потому, что она же уже стоит в надкатегории Category:Exhibitions in Proviantskie Sklady museum (вот, убираю кстати). Ваша эмоциональность по такому достаточно небольшому поводу, как категории, кажется мне чрезмерной. Я не вандал, не фанатик, не рекламщик. Реплики типа "Пожалуйста, Шакко, обращайте внимание на категории и делайте это более тщательно, другим мешает" и пары диффов было бы достаточно. Все вот это про быдло, халтуру, вред и т.п. - совершенно лишнее и создает нездоровую атмосферу в проекте. Фраза про постоянные оскорбления от меня - ну где, где я вас оскорбляла постоянно? Я хорошая, и давайте жить дружно. --Shakko (talk) 05:38, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Привет, Shakko.

Template:Russian Empire by year

Сейчас там сделано так: категории из Russia by year - это подкатегории в Russian Empire by year. В них попадает то, что находится в современных границах РФ. А в Russian Empire кроме того Финляндия, Польша, Украина, Белоруссия, Прибалтика, Кавказ, Средняя Азия и т.д. Если сделать наоборот, то большее будет внутри меньшего, что неправильно. Я мог бы переделать так, чтобы для периода 1721-1917 в названиях категорий использовалось только Russian Empire вместо Russia, сделать соответствующие перенаправления и уже в таком виде включить в Russia by year. На мой взгляд это было бы правильнее, но я не знаю как к этому отнесутся другие участники.-Butko (talk) 12:52, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi, for your information, regarding w:it:Discussioni_utente:Sailko#Chiesa_dei_Santi_Vincenzo_e_Anastasio_a_Trevi you can also ask w:it:Discussioni_progetto:Roma and, since it is a grave of a women, w:it:Discussioni_progetto:WikiDonne (many of those volunteers live in Rome, in any case they are a very interconnected network and they care about picture regarding women, they can ask around to other women who are not frequent users on wiki).

In the future I know the location of more than 200 users in Italy, if you have any specific request just tell me, I can ask around. Of course this case was not urgent, it's just for you to know.

Also, Sailko is a great photographer. Contact me if the quality is not the main issue.--Alexmar983 (talk) 16:43, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

culture means network of neurons, therefore network of concepts and in the end network of articles, network of files and metadata, network of platforms and network of users... and network means there is never one way of doing things. No problem I'll let them know your name when necessary, I like to think as myself as a catalyst of networking.

I also have tools to find some of the pictures that are missing before people ask you about them, I can share my knowledge with you if you want. I guess one does not have a translation in Russian yet in the interface, so maybe you can help. You let me know.

Здравствуйте, Софья. Вы залили на коммонс файл Posmotri v glaza chudovitsh.jpg под лицензией CC-BY-SA-4.0, где в частности говорится "вы должны указывать ссылку на автора (правообладателя) данного произведения в виде, установленном автором или лицензиаром (но ни в коем случае не таким образом, который наводит на мысль, что автор поддерживает вас или использование вами данного произведения)". Но я не вижу где указан собственно автор (я так понимаю, права на дизайн книги принадлежат издательству "Пятый Рим", а на иллюстрации - художнику). Не считаете ли вы нужным дополнить информацию на коммонсе с указанием этих данных?

Сортировка картин по названию

Добрый день, не совсем понял, а что плохого в сортировке картин по названию у Михаила Ларионова? --Stolbovsky (talk) 12:53, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

тут так не делают. Просто файлы кладутся так, как я сейчас положила - типа в корневую папку. А папки "paintings by name" используются для именных категорий, названных по картинам. Посмотрите Category:Paintings by Vincent van Gogh by name и глобально вот даже есть Category:Paintings by painter by name. То есть в эту папку можно положить не файлы отдельные, а категорию, например "Self-portrait (M.Larionov, 1910)", и в ней уже отдельные файлы.--Shakko (talk) 12:57, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Ну не делают так, потому что файлы картин называются как угодно загружающему, и в итоге сортировка невозможна. Не вижу причин, почему нельзя сделать так не только с категориями, но с и файлами, если у них корректные наименования. Это скорее не дошли еще руки у кого-то, тут и не было до недавнего времени категории в духе "Пейзажи по музеям", которую я создавал. Держать что-то в корневой папке и параллельно в подкатегориях всегда плохо. А создавать категорию для каждой картины, если это не Ван Гог - избыточно. --Stolbovsky (talk) 13:03, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

вся рота идет не в ногу, один я иду в ногу. Если у вас есть силы переместить несколько десятков тысяч файлов по всем художникам по всему коммонс, то никто вас не останавливает, делайте так. Наводить ваш личный персональный порядок в одной или пяти категориях русских художников - не надо. Здесь принято так. Венер, например, из общей категории Ларионова можно убрать, раз для них отдельная папка есть, то же с картинами лучизма. Файлы, кстати, можно переименовывать. Shakko (talk) 13:16, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

Куда грузить

• Вы писали: «Человек в конце-концов уговорился, сижу его, как азбуке учу куда тыкать и что грузить». Позднее в обсуждении было сказано, что он уже загружает всё на фликр.
• Удобнее и быстрее было бы поменять лицензию его коллекции на фликре, а уже потом перегрузить сюда всю коллекцию сразу. Потому что сейчас (без договора) каждому видно, что участник Usadboved просто копирует с фликра чужие фотографии. --PereslavlFoto (talk) 11:53, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
  • а если у меня те же самые фото, которые я гружу сюда, выложены уже в другое место, мне тоже надо договор подписывать? --Shakko (talk) 09:03, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
    • Спросите об этом в OTRS. Мне вот объясняют, что нужно. --PereslavlFoto (talk) 11:04, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
• (Не хочу Ярослава больше беспокоить). В продолжении этого[33]. Вы говорите: "Хамство в том, что человека просят дать наилучшие изображения, а он даёт испорченные копии. Конечно, другим это не понравится". Неа. Человека просят дать хоть что-нибудь, хоть какие-нибудь кадры с этого ракурса, а он дает целые 2000 × 1499; 3,19 МБ. Как было сказано в фильме "Шили-Мырли", "...если у вас в России это чуть-чуть...". 3 мегабайта - это вообще-то дофига. Эти ракурсы имели бы ценность и в меньшем размере. Так, если вы умалили некий музей дать Википедии его архив, и он сначала собирался дать это в качестве скриншотов, а потом все-таки дал в полиграфическом качестве, то просить после этого "а дайте теперь лучше мегапиксельное" -- то это уже как-то явная потеря берегов ("тетенька дайте закурить, а то так есть хочется..." и далее по тексту). Надо понимать, что Википедия - это не центр вселенной, избавляться от мании величия, никто нам ничего не должен. И подсаживать на донаторство для Википедии надо тоже постепенно: сначала спасибо за скриншоты, потом спасибо за мегапикселы. И обязательно быть вежливым. --Shakko (talk) 09:17, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
  • А мы и уговариваем музеи и газеты передавать их архивы, причём не википедии (при чём тут вообще википедия? зачем вы её вспоминаете?), а всем людям и всем юридическим лицам, сразу и целиком. И они соглашаются, не делая каких-то хитроумных ограничений.
  • 2000 точек это, извините, 40% ширины кадра узкой плёнки (кадр узкой плёнки даёт 5600 на 3700 точек). Это очень мало. --PereslavlFoto (talk) 11:04, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments ti aspetta, con centinaia di nuovi comuni fotografabili

Concorso Wiki Loves Monuments Italia 2018 (English version)

Gentile Shakko, ti ringraziamo ancora una volta per la tua passata partecipazione a Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM). Il più grande concorso fotografico del mondo si svolge anche questo settembre per documentare e promuovere il patrimonio culturale italiano, con una licenza copyright libera.

Quest'anno è doppiamente facile partecipare: gli oggetti fotografabili coprono quasi 1000 comuni in più, grazie all'adesione di centinaia di nuovi enti fra cui Roma, e alla possibilità di fotografare circa 2000 alberi monumentali. Controlla le liste di monumenti fotografabili! Carica tutte le foto che hai e magari organizza una visita presso i monumenti che ancora non hanno una foto.

Quest'oggi il Parlamento europeo ha respinto la proposta di estendere la libertà di panorama. E allora scattiamo e pubblichiamo tutte le foto che possiamo, almeno per questi monumenti per cui ci è legalmente consentito!

File:Peter III's letter to wife (28 june 1768, RGADA).jpg

Shakko, вы неточно воспроизвели автограф Петра III в тексте пояснения к фотографии письма, в частности, частично перевели текст на современную орфографию. Я мог бы исправить текст, приблизив его к оригиналу насколько возможно, но хотел бы вначале узнать вашу позицию: либо вы написали его по своему усмотрению, либо использовали готовый текст из какой-то работы, написанной после 1918 года. В последнем случае желательно бы дать соответствующую ссылку. На мой взгляд, к историческим документам следует относиться бережно, воспроизводя оригинал до последней запятой, "ъ" и точки над "і". После этого можно дать перевод на современный русский, если оригинал сложен для понимания, но в данном случае это не требуется. — Ярослав, --158.255.145.8 16:26, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Hermitage Museum

Hi Shakko

I see that you undertake to classify many photographs of the Hermitage Museum by room names or by a room numbers. It's a huge job, but very useful. Thanks!
Many of those photographs were just categorized under "interior of ..." because we did not know the exact room name or room number.

After having uploaded my own photographs of the Museum into Commons, trying to classify them as much of possible than I could (also and indicating the room number at the end of the the file name thanks to a map of rooms/floors/buildings I received at the beginning of the visit), I have created my own photo gallery in my personal page : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Poudou99/gallery-Musée-de-l%27Ermitage#Small_Hermitage

Maybe some of room names or rooms numbers I gave are wrong. Maybe my page could also help you to complete yours : https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Участник:Shakko/Картины#Зимний_дворец

Vaso de Fortuny in room Hermitage hall 259 - Romanov Gallery ?

Hi,

I saw that you have categorized on July 14th, 2019, the category:Vaso de Fortuny into Category:Hermitage hall 259 - Romanov Gallery.

I am wondering if this is not an error. The "Vaso de Fortuny" is a Hispano-Moresque vase (category:Alhambra vases), nothing related to the "Romanov Gallery" (room 259 ).
Also, in my notes, the photograph I took of this vase was taken in "Winter Palace - 3rd Level - Rooms 351 to 356 - Rooms 381 to 384", far from room 259.

Regards, --Poudou99 (talk) 23:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry. Thanks to this maps (https://hermitagemuseum.org/wps/portal/hermitage/panorama/virtual_visit/panoramas-m-2/?lng=en); I better understand my own error.

It is a misunderstanding from my part between the historical name of the room ("Romanov Gallery") and what is currently on display ("European Middle Ages").

The big paintings whose photographs are shown in this category (Category:Hermitage hall 259 - Romanov Gallery), have misled me. Moves of objects and paintings have been made in recent years. Currently, this room does not contain large paintings any more but objects of the "European Middle Ages" (like the "Vaso de Fortuny ").

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) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
