You only have to use one or two categories, the most specific possible. Generic or redundanct categories will be deleted. Thanks Sailko (talk) 18:23, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok, thanks, saves a lot of (guess) work. I should have read more about the cats beforehand. And by the way thank you for all your fine pictures. You really seem to have made a living out of it.) I hope you don't mind (too much) when I exchange some more of them in the future, especially from (Renaissance) Florence. Maybe I'll turn to you if I have a question I can't find a clear answer to. Nice to hear from you. MenkinAlRire (talk) 18:50, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool, thanks. Please note that almost all main building of Florence have an individual category now. You can find the proper ones with the "search" button, or searching from Wikipedia or Wikidata and following the links to Commons. --Sailko (talk) 15:10, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, MenkinAlRire. Earlier this month, you uploaded some images -- nice images, by the way! -- and put them in Category:Bargello. That category is for a type of embroidery, so I wonder if they should have gone into Category:Museo del Bargello instead, or into one of its subcategories. I removed the images from the incorrect category, but you can find them in my contributions for 18 May between 08:37 and 08:38 UTC. If they belong in the museum category, I can easily add them there using Cat-a-lot from my contributions page. (So can you, if you use Cat-a-lot.) Let me know if I can help get these categorized correctly. -- Auntof6 (talk) 05:41, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Auntof6, you are right. Just because the wiki lemma for the museum is just 'Bargello', I didn't think about it. I don't use cat-a-lot, so it would be nice if you could change the false cats (into Category:Museo del Bargello). It won't happen again now. Thanks a lot, MenkinAlRire (talk) 19:05, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right. I might have misunderstood the statement in their rights&reproduction statement. I cannot remember that I read the pop-up, when you move over the download button of the image. And these are not the only ones, there are five total from the DIA, all attributed to Donatello. I first wanted to write an e-mail to them and ask about it, too be sure. Now, after looking at the site again, I don't know, how I got to the conclusion that they were all public domain. It wasn't my intention to violate anything. I am sorry about that. Thank you for picking them out. I suppose you know better to take them down.

There are more taken from the website of DIA in Category:Detroit Institute of Arts. - And I know now why, I didn't see the pop-up. I didn't allow scripts, so the image doesn't go into the viewer, but straight to full screen, so there is no disclaimer for each image. (I'll link to the pictures on the website instead.)

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. GPSLeo (talk) 16:13, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, GPSLeo, thank you very kindly. I'm relieved, otherwise it would have been frustrating. I suppose, I am not alone, in using Wiki quiet intuitively, and just consult the help pages, if necessary. So each new rule and restriction increases the complexity, the wood in the forest. But I also understand the need for some automated regulation, to reduce the workload for the admin. I hope, you made the right choice with this rule. - I was informed by user:Jmabel about the possibility to use {{Other version}} et al, so I might take more caution and use this if indicated by the extent of my edits. Anyway, thanks again, for all your work.

P.S.: Could it be possible, that my new rights may have caused a blocking ("There seems to be a problem...resubmit the form" on red) of my logging-in on other devices, my phone and tablet? I tried several times on both (and again just now), deleted cookies, too, but without success. This never happened before. Do you have any idea, how to fix this, I am really baffled.

Thanks for uploading File:Venedig, Vedute Erhard Reuwichs für Peregrinationes, Mainz 1486.pdf. 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.

Is there any comprehensible reason to do so? Because otherwise it should be marked as {{Duplicate}} and deleted. // Martin K. (talk) 07:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo, Martin, eigtl. wollte ich Dir auch Bescheid geben, entschuldige. Ich gebe (beim Upload) auch immer an, was ich gemacht habe, im filedesc sah ich nirgendwo eine gute Möglichkeit es unterzubringen und habs dann ganz sein gelassen. Da der Fokus sich vor dem Altar (im Kreuz?) verfangen hat und Optiken +/- stark zu den Rändern an Schärfe verlieren, habe ich die Flügel, die Predella und den oberen Teil des Corpus etwas nachgeschärft und geklärt, außerdem eine Seite einen Tick zur Bildebene verschoben, das war es schon. Du hast recht, ich sehe nun auch keinen wirk-lichen Unterschied mehr, bei der Bearbeitung mit vorher/nachher ist es natürlich erkennbar.

Wo ich nochmal drüber nachdenke... Du scheinst einer der wenigen zu sein, die in Raw fotografieren, zumindest sieht der kornähnliche Schnee so aus, statt des üblichen (Kamera-)Kompressionsgegrissels, der jede Oberfläche unkenntlich macht. Wenn dem so wäre, könntest Du vielleicht selbst mal schauen, wieweit Du die Schärfe (Kontrast, Dunst, Klarheit...) in den Bereichen nachziehen kannst, damit der verschwommene Eindruck sich im Dienst der Erkennbarkeit zumindest etwas klärt. In Raw kannst Du da ja auch viel weiter gehen.

Ansonsten kannst Du meinen Versuch herunternehmen (ich werde das Bild eh nicht mehr brauchen). Vielleicht könntest Du wenigstens die artwork-Vorlage übernehmen mit den zusätzlichen Informationen. Ich kann das, mit Deiner Erlaubnis, auch gerne machen. MenkinAlRire (talk) 11:21, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yours sincerely, Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:31, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle I forgot, again, this law, that I will never really understand (what better advertisement and praise for an architect's work, to have it photographed and memorized by it).

I already got aquainted to the rule, so it is alright with me, if you take it down again. Thank you, MenkinAlRire (talk) 21:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Because Wikimedia has faced lawsuits for files stored on commons before. See here. They'd likely waive their rights for Wikimedia projects, but not for all, and files on commons are for all to be used. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 04:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paradise Chronicle Thank you for the link. Mannheim also forbids pictures of their objects to be published. So the individual handling has a disturbingly wide range (online catalogue images with CC4 or even 0, some museums even encourage people to post images on social media). In the case of the Gemäldegalerie it's just the architecture, not the objects, and not the gallery rooms? Where is the line here? You don't need to answer that, I suppose it is complicated.

(I was always so proud of the public collections, thinking it belongs to all of us citizens. Hence, it is somewhat bewildering why the public buildings don't 'belong' to us, too.) MenkinAlRire (talk) 11:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo MenkinAlRire,

bald ist es soweit: Vom 1. bis zum 30. September 2024 findet zum 14. Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) statt. Dabei können Bau-, Boden- und Kulturdenkmale fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich gern wieder ein, dieses Jahr mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

Vergangenes Jahr hat Rolf Kranz mit einer Winteransicht der Marksburg und der Schornsteine der Blei- und Silberhütte Braubach gewonnen. Welcher Fotograf oder welche Fotografin tritt dieses Jahr die Nachfolge an?

Nach WLM 2023 sind wieder zahlreiche neue Denkmallisten entstanden – zum Beispiel in Schenkenzell in Baden-Württemberg oder in Oyten in Niedersachsen.

Für die Suche nach Motiven gibt es bei Wikipedia zahlreiche Listen und Karten. Als Einstieg hilft diese Übersichtsseite. Weitere Informationen erhältst du auf der Mitmach-Seite.

Für das einfache Auffinden haben wir eine Upload-Karte erstellt, in der viele aber leider noch nicht alle Kulturdenkmale angezeigt werden können. Das Laden der Objekte dauert dort etwas.

Wir haben dieses Jahr drei Sonderpreise für Bilder zum Thema „Kinderwelten“ ausgelobt. Zugelassen sind für den Sonderpreis auch Fotos von Bauwerken, die nicht denkmalgeschützt sind. Dieser Sonderpreis wird gemeinsam mit dem Klexikon vergeben.

Damit es ab 1. September mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Außerdem laden wir Dich ein, ab Anfang September 2024 an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Diese bewertet die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelt so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Anfang November tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 in Deutschland. Das Vorjurytool ist hier bald freigeschaltet. Du benötigst dafür nur deinen Benutzernamen und das Passwort.

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Monuments Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim größten Fotowettbewerb wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams --Z ^thomas 17:11, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth 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 (2023) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
