Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 14:09, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

- Cette photo ne viole pas les droits d'auteur puisqu'il ne s'agit pas d'une oeuvre dérivée. J'ai pris MOI-MÊME la photo de la maquette qui se trouve dans le musée et un personnel du musée m'a permis de prendre des photos à l'intérieur.
- Si, il s'agit d'une œuvre dérivée; c'est une photographie d'une maquette, et la maquette est protégée par le droit d'auteur. Le personnel du musée ne détient pas les droits sur la maquette, et autoriser les photographies pour un usage personnel ne signifie pas que l'on peut placer les photos sous une licence libre et les distribuer sans restriction. Prof. Professorson (talk) 22:57, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Dac. J'en profite pour poser une question dans ce cas, une fresque mural ou d'un plafond d'un bâtiment public, est-ce une oeuvre dérivée (bref, puis-je l'utiliser sur wiki?) ?
- Oui, ce serait également une œuvre dérivée. Certains pays possèdent une exception au droit d'auteur pour ce genre de cas (œuvre placée de manière permanente dans un lieu public), qui s'appelle la liberté de panorama, mais la France ne possède pas de telle loi. Donc si une fresque située en France est suffisamment récente pour être encore protégée par le droit d'auteur, une photo de cette fresque ne pourrait pas être placée sous une licence libre et transférée sur Commons. Prof. Professorson (talk) 10:11, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- Donc, pour être entièrement certain, il existe au Canada une telle exception me permettant d'utiliser une photographie faite par moi d'une fresque murale d'un bâtiment public et je dois y associer la mention

Copyright status: File:Château Dufresne.JPG
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Château Dufresne.JPG. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

- Hallo Thomas1313, you have removed the cc-by-sa-3.0 license directly after upload here. All files on Commons need a license or a public domain reason tag. If you did not intentionally remove it please put it back again. :-) Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 18:44, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, that applies probably to all your uploaded files starting at File:Château Dufresne - Salon d'Oscar.JPG and newer. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 18:48, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- No problemo! I put «PD-self», is it ok?
- Hello again, merci, {{PD-self}} is fine. You could also have used {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} as you had chosen during upload. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 12:50, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Architecture
[edit]Salut, Thomas. I just wanted to leave you a note complementing you on the tremendous job you are doing catergorizing the files and categories of buildings in Canada by architectural type. It's a big job. Well done. Continuez votre bon travail. Cheers, --Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:39, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

McCord Museum
[edit]Bonjour. Thanks for uploading a number of images from the McCord Museum. Please, in the future, crop the McCord Museum watermark from the images before uploading - it saves someone else the trouble of needing to crop it out afterwards. Second, please do not add "© McCord Museum" to the image description - regardless of what it says on the McCord Museum website, the museum does not, for example, have any copyright over this 1884 image (or other old images, for that matter). And finally, for pre-1946 images, please use "{{PD-Canada}}{{PD-1996|Canada|January 1, 1996|Image was public domain in Canada prior to the URAA date}}" as the license. {{Cc-by-sa-2.5}} is incorrect, and could lead to some images being deleted. Hope that helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. (Je peux essayer de laisser ce message en français si cela est mieux pour vous, mais je ne voulais pas vous exposer à mon pauvre français écrit si ce n'était pas nécessaire.) --Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:26, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
- Bonjour! Thanks for all your advices! I'll do it in the future as you explained it. Also, I have a question: how can I crop the McCord Museum watermark of pictures that have been already uploaded? Furthermore, I take this occasion to ask few other questions: how can I rename a category without asking through Bistro? And how can I add a category whitout doing it manually? Thanks a lot!! Sorry for my poor English!--Thomas1313 (talk) 18:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delayed response - just saw your comment now. No need to apologize for your English - it is much better than my French. For cropping images, try using User:Cropbot, and overwrite the original file. You can always ask for more information at Commons talk:Media for cleanup. As for renaming categories, the easiest way (assuming you do not want to do it manually) is to list your request at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands#Category moves - if approved, a bot will create the newly-named category and move all the content. As for adding categories, do you mean using Hot Cat? Under My Preferences/Préférences at the top of the page, choose "Gadgets", and then pick "Hot Cat" under "Outils pour les catégories". Once Hot Cat is chosen, you will see + and - symbols next to the categories on an image or cat, allowing you to add and delete categories more quickly. Is this what you meant?
I am happy to answer more questions. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:55, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot!! Other question: How can I cover (brouiller) people's face or car's licence on pictures? Is there any bots for that? Thanks again!--Thomas1313 (talk) 19:57, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Photo Château Dufresne 1961
[edit]Cher collègue, mille excuses pour le retard à répondre à votre question (je viens tout juste de la trouver). J'ai pris cette photo alors que j'étais étudiant au Collège Sainte-Croix ; nous avions alors tourné un film 8mm sur les espaces intérieurs de ce qui était alors le Pavillon Dufresne du Collège (logeant les classes de Belles-Lettres à Philo II). Hélas, je n'ai pas d'autres photos du château, et je n'ai pas non plus de version numérique du film, seulement la bande originale 8mm, extrêmement fragile... --Minoumi (talk) 21:37, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
- Je réponds à votre mot sur ma PDD Commons... J’ai retrouvé ma bande 8mm originale et je l’ai même projetée sur un mur avec mon vieux projecteur Keystone pour m’assurer du contenu (la lampe de projection a heureusement tenu le coup). Durée : 10 minutes approx. Les images ont souffert de l’épreuve du temps mais c’est pas mal (le problème, en 1961, c’était l’éclairage des lieux avec quatre “flood-lights” d’amateurs). Je ne suis cependant pas certain qu’on puisse tirer une version numérique “HD”. Je connais un service de transcodage situé à Boucherville qui fait du bon travail (films8mm.com). Je communiquerai avec eux la semaine prochaine pour fixer un rendez-vous et m’assurer qu’ils peuvent faire le transfert pendant que j’attends (je tiens à repartir avec mon original et le fichier numérique ; ce transfert ne devrait pas prendre plus d’une heure, d’après mon expérience). Je ne saurais dire, pour le moment, combien coûtera cette opération.--Minoumi (talk) 14:44, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
- Cher collègue. Je réponds à votre récent mot sur ma PDD. J’ai visionné ce film il y a deux semaines (dont le titre est : Le château inconnu). C’est une pellicule 8mm qui a 55 ans d’âge et qui a plus ou moins mal vécu les assauts du temps. Un transcodage au format numérique nécessiterait un sérieux travail de restauration véritable qui irait bien au delà du simple transfert par les moyens mécaniques et automatiques offerts couramment dans le commerce. Personnellement, je ne pense pas que l'opération en vaille la peine ni le coût pour les fins d’un musée. Je ne sais pas, mais bon. Malgré ses défauts, ce petit documentaire d’une dizaine de minutes reste un souvenir, mais seulement un souvenir, qui n’a de valeur que pour ceux qui l’ont vécu. Ainsi donc j’ai l’intention de faire le don officiel de cette pellicule originale en janvier prochain aux Service des archives de la Province canadienne des Pères de Sainte-Croix, ici à Montréal, au nom du petit groupe d’étudiants qui l’ont réalisée. Il s’agissait d’une initiative d’étudiants de Belles-Lettres du Collège Sainte-Croix en 1961 et s’il faut en conserver quelques traces ou vestiges, c’est cette Congrégation d’éducateurs, à qui nous devons huit années exceptionnelles de notre vie, qui en est l’héritière légitime. Elle décidera ce qu’il faut en faire. Je lui fait totale confiance. P.S. : Il y a quelques années, quand le Château Dufresne hébergeait le Musée des arts décoratifs (si ma mémoire m’est fidèle), j’ai fait le don d’une bande au format VHS de ce film à la direction dudit musée par l’entremise d’un confrère de classe qui avait des contacts avec ces gens. J’ignore ce qu’il est advenu de cette cassette-vidéo. Elle est peut-être dans les archives du Château. À la prochaine! --Minoumi (talk) 20:49, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2018 is open!
[edit]Dear Thomas1313,
You are receiving this message because we noticed that you voted in R1 of the 2018 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in the second round. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2018) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked.
In the final (and current) round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2018.
Round 2 will end 17 March 2019, 23:59:59.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 18:05, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Photo du Musée des métiers d'art du Québec
[edit]Bbonjour Thomas, Je viens de valider une autorisation pour les photos d’objets désormais dans le domaine public présents dans la catégorie Photographs by the MUMAQ. J'ai quelques questions à ce sujet.
- Les photos publiées et à venir sont réalisées par toi directement ?
- Le nom de la catégorie est correct ? Je pense que ça pourrait être "Photographs of the MUMAQ" ou "Photographs provided by the MUMAQ", selon que le photographe est employé du MUMAQ ou non.
- Tu penses télécharger d'autres photos dans cette catégorie ?
Merci pour ta collaboration, à bientôt, Ruthven (msg) 11:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- Bonjour Ruthven!
- Merci pour la validation des photographies! :)
- 1.1 Photos publiées réalisées par moi qui nécessitent un bandeau d'accréditation «{AccreditationTicket}» :

- - Toutes les photographies de la catégorie suivante : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photographs_by_the_MUMAQ
- 2. Je n'ai pas de préférence! Pour suivre l'exemple de noms d'autres catégories similaires, que penses-tu de "Photographs taken by the MUMAQ" ? Mais je suis ouvert à toutes idées! :)
- 3. Non! Du moins, pas à court terme! Le MUMAQ n'autorise que la publication de ces photographies pour l'instant.
