Hi Hans,

Maybe the ID is wrong, I made it by visual comparison with the photos in Diptera.com, but this is a a large genus ... and family. Thanks for the contact, I'll try to talk to those people. -- [[User:Alvesgaspar|Alvesgaspar]] ([[User talk:Alvesgaspar|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 19:40, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Hans,

It seems like you do not have e-mail enabled(? - I thought admin users always had e-mail enabled - ?) I'd like to discuss an issue with you in private. If that is OK with you, could you please e-mail ping me at my user name dot gmail dot com. If you, for whatever reason do not want to reveal your e-mail address to me that is something I respect, and no offense will be taken.

Hi, Lycaon!

I have two questions:

* In what cases is correctly repeatedly to place an image nomination?
* The rumpled flower is norm for this plant?

== Question ==

I see that you're dealing with copyright of images, so I have two questions. 1. If we have a picture with ''public domain'' license in low resolution is it ok to replace it with the same image in better resolution which can be found on Internet, no matter who scanned it? 2. If I find an image with GNU license on ''Flickr'', can I upload the modified version only, providing a link to original? Regards. --[[User:Lošmi|Lošmi]] ([[User talk:Lošmi|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 10:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
:Ouch I seem to have overlooked this. I usually try to keep to the simple copyright issues, cause I'm not a die-hard specialist ;-). I could try to answer your questions, but to be honest I'm not certain about either. So I will instead refer you to [[Commons_talk:Licensing]] or specifically to [[User:MichaelMaggs|Michael Maggs]] who is a real specialist in these matters. Regards.

:Hi again Hans. I see you have been active here since my post. I do not very easily get annoyed at other users, but I must admit that I am beginning to be slightly irritated that you have chosen not to respond at all to this message on your talk page. As a minimum, you could write, that "No, I have not done any further thoughts about this", or "Well, I did think about it, but I do not think there is anything more to add.", or "I will not respond because that is the best strategy for just making this issue go away", or "I will not waste my time on this, it is a non-issue and i have better things to do" or "Other admins are taking care of this, I should stay out to not inflame further dispoutes" or whatever... For instance, one thought I have had is that you might think I am just a pain in a specific body part normally used for sitting on{{smile}}. It is all speculations though as I have no idea.

== Image rename ==

Good evening Lycaon (or whatever time it is that you read this). Aside from my time at FP, over the past few months I've been helping to clear the backlog over at Image Renaming. While working through the files there, I came across [[:File:AgahtaIllereichen10.JPG|this picture]], one of a set that had been nominated to be renamed, and rejected due to lack of trusted user status. The name seemed rather generic, so I figured that if it was going to be renamed, it should have a more descriptive title, and for that matter, a description. I went to the history, intending to ask the renamer if they knew anything else about the picture that I could add to it, or if they could contact the author (whose language I do not speak) for more information. Imagine my surprise when I saw your name! I thought that Administrators would automatically have rename rights, but that's beside the point.

As far as I can make out (due to limited access to the internet at work) the picture features [[en:Agatha of Sicily|Agatha of Sicily]], at the [[en:Santa Gadea|Santa Gadea]] church; though I'm still trying to find out what (or where)'Illereichen' is. I am going to attempt to find out more so I can add to the description and give the set a more meaningful title, so, in the meantime, I hope you will not mind if I remove your rename tags. If you know anything more about the subject, or can talk to the photographer for me, I would be much obliged.

Yours, 

[[User:Sarcastic ShockwaveLover|Sarcastic ShockwaveLover]] ([[User talk:Sarcastic ShockwaveLover|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 11:04, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
:It is part of a misnamed set. Slobot touched the file after me and before the renamebot, which stopped the process (last edit has to be by an admin or trusted).

== Geocoding ==

Basically, two points: 

* There are classes of images explicitly exempted from geocoding: Your language didn't exempt these from having to say why they were exempted, which creates an awful lot of garbage on the description pages.
* Even for things not in the automatically exempt category, a description page should contain relevant material. It's hard to see a statement about why it isn't geocoded being a useful contribution to the description page, though I could see a note on the image's talk page. 

[[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]] ([[User talk:Adam Cuerden|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 18:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

:Yes, but: we're talking about VI's, not just any image but a tiny fraction of all images on Commons. This makes it easier an unambiguous. There is a ''geocoding statement'' required, whether this is in the form of coordinates (in most cases) or in the form of an exemption statement, for which we can be quite lenient as long as it is properly explained. Then there won't be long discussions any more and for a ''valuable'' image there can't be ''too much'' info on the description page. [[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] ([[User talk:Lycaon#top|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 18:19, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
::I'm sorry, but VI cannot hurt the usability of the image description page, and including off-topic discussion does that. If you want to suggest it be put on the image ''talk'' page (and preferably exclude the default categories from this requirement), then I could get behind you. [[User:Adam Cuerden|Adam Cuerden]] ([[User talk:Adam Cuerden|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 18:49, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Yes, I agree a statement of why it does not need geocoding would be appropriate on the talk page - it is not information about the image, but information about information (or lack there of) on the image page (ie meta information). --[[User:Tony Wills|Tony Wills]] ([[User talk:Tony Wills|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:21, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
::::And then a link to the talk page?? You people really want to make it needlessly complicated. And then it will start all over with requests why an image has no need for geolocation and the the discussion starts again for all those borderline cases. Just do the sensible thing and put it on the description. E.g. knowing that geolocation is approximate or absent because of rarity/protection of a plant is very relevant information and not meta-sub-info stuff!! [[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] ([[User talk:Lycaon#top|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:27, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
:::::Have added [[:category:Location not applicable]] which seems to be the nearest we've got (maybe create a category for location withheld if there are going to be a lot of them?).  There is nothing requiring a reason for non geo-location in the VI criteria, just a requirement for "coarse location". --[[User:Tony Wills|Tony Wills]] ([[User talk:Tony Wills|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:41, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
::::::Yep I noticed the recat. Made me drop my opposition. What I don't get though is the fear of extra info on the description page. Things like ''picture taken in the lab'', or ''picture taken in a private home'' do add to the value of an image and stop people from asking irrelevant questions. This phrases are akin to giving location info. Just imagine a picture of one of my Amphipods without the ''lab'' statement. The first reviewer that comes around states ''oppose cause not geocoded''. A simple short sentence can avoid that. So, why not? [[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] ([[User talk:Lycaon#top|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:56, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

==Comment==
I was just wondering. I saw you typed in a flickrpass for this image on Asta's behalf:
*[[:File:Threave castle.jpg]]

The image is by Kenny Muir. I know he licensed some of his photos as cc by 2.0 in 2006 since Sandstein typed in a flickpass for this old photo he uploaded: [[:File:Jokulsarlon lake, Iceland.jpg]] I had contacted Muir about it (to see if Muir would change the license from ARR) and he never replied....to even protest  that the photo was licensed with an unfree Non-commercial restriction. So, it was likely licensed freely.

My question is if Asta was a trusted user, would typing in a flickr pass for this other 2006 photo uploaded by him from Muir's account be OK...or not?

*{{comm}} It seems a bit sad to illustrate a glacier with so little ice.

== File:Peilican.jpg ==

Thank you for making the suggestion to rename the above file due to a spelling error in the filename. There is actually a different version of the file in my gallery. File:Pelican-pink-backed.jpg, so perhaps I should request a delete of the orginal [mispelled file], rather than a rename? I am still new to the commons, and am trying to familiarise myself with the way things work here.

* How was your trip? [[User:Sarcastic ShockwaveLover|Sarcastic ShockwaveLover]] ([[User talk:Sarcastic ShockwaveLover|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 13:29, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

::GTSY2! The trip was very fine save for a car accident (no one injured) and a stolen wallet. Beautiful country and friendly people. The images are a bit less successful because of difficult shooting circumstances (almost daily 100% humidity, high temperatures, shooting from boats and under low light conditions) so don't expect FP candidates ;-), yet some interesting snaps on their way.

::@Maedin, sorry to hear about your interrupted hike. Are you OK now?

::[[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] ([[User talk:Lycaon#top|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 20:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:::So glad to hear you had a good time, though shame about the wallet and the accident.  I've read some fantastic things about the Costa Rican reserves and national parks; apparently they have one of the best systems in the world and dedicate a huge portion of their land to protection.  I'd certainly love to go there some day, and look forward to seeing some of your pictures.  In fact, although I haven't looked, I could bet that Costa Rica is sparsely covered on Wikipedia and I'd like to write some articles on the area, so I'll keep an eye on your uploads and see if anything inspires me, ;-)

:::I'm getting better, definitely, though still not 100% and I have another week off work.  I was gutted to have to interrupt my hike, though I did at least have eight straight days of fantastic hiking weather.  I managed to travel 40km, which I suppose isn't too bad considering that it was all uphill and downhill!  At least the time off work has given me the opportunity to go for adminship at Wikipedia; I don't think I'd have gone for it if I had the pressure of work to think about at the same time!  Still not sure what the outcome will be, but I have my fingers crossed and am trying to be relaxed about it, ;-)

== [[:Image:Papio ursinus.jpg]] ==

Hi! Sorry for bothering. I just happened to come across this photo you had uploaded. I'm afraid the monkey depicted doesn't belong to the Papio ursinus (Chacma Baboon) species, but rather the Papio cynocephalus (Yellow Baboon) which is easy to prove: Chacma Baboons and other species of the genus don't live in Malawi, only Yellow Baboons do. Not to mention the obvious sign of the yellowish coloured pelage, while Chacma Baboons are much darker, brownish and blackish. I think the image should be renamed, if it's possible. --[[User:Mathae|Mathae]] ([[User talk:Mathae|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 17:27, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

== QI candidates ==

Welcome back :-). I see you've been a bit further abroad than usual :-).  I am impressed with a 500mm focal length lens and I sympathise with the difficult shooting conditions!  But I do wonder whether those images need a bit of cropping (large areas of blurred forest, small area of bird :-).<br />
PS Have you thought of adding something like {{tl|Photo Information}} to your images, most just duplicates EXIF info (so I would leave those blank) but you can add info about the lens model, the flash unit (if any), and what sort of support was used (eg freehand, tripod etc), and other notes (eg from a rocking boat ;-))<br />
PPS Do you know that all your edits are marked "m" ? I'm sure you must do some edits that aren't minor :-) --[[User:Tony Wills|Tony Wills]] ([[User talk:Tony Wills|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 11:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
PPPS I have recently decided that I will upload the full, unedited version of my photos, then my best edit over top.

:I understand what you're saying Tony. I actually made two version of those three files, they each have a cropped counterpart for taxobox use, yet they are only 1024×768 in size (see VI noms).

::Try playing with the values of the plug-ins.  The defaults for these are intended for an average and well, my plan was to one day start with the smallest values possible and work my way up on a few noisy images to see 1)if the plug-in works and 2)start to get some experience with it which should lead eventually to that kind of knowledge where I could look at the image and just know ''about'' what settings it would need to improve it.

::My theory is that they use the same mathematical transformations, all of these applications.  It is the way that the application accepts the input (the GUI) that differs.  In truth, whoever first started to denoise with PaintShopPro started the way I suggested and shared this knowledge either in a classroom or in a book/magazine or in an online how-to and even Lycaon had to use the plug-in often to get a feel for how to make it work.

::I think that the default settings for this plug-in that comes with GIMP are simply set too high and are too destructive.  I also acknowledge the fact that I haven't tried to use this plug-in for several years now.

== Opinions/comments are unwanted ==
Nice thumbnails of hummingbirds at QI.  I was thinking about a /Promotion and then I thought '''screw that''' and didn't.

I am here wasting electrons and public disc-space at your talk page to complain about the local hummingbirds here.  There was one gruffing just outside of the window here.  I have a difficult time onomatopoeia-ing the sound that these birds make -- gruffing seems to be reasonable for this -- their noise doesn't match their size or visual character in my opinion.  Well, back to the point....

I grabbed my camera, thinking that I might be able to get the sound file from a movie (even if the camera is making broken images) made while the bird was <strike>chirping</strike> gruffing and it was as if the damn thing was watching me and quit as soon as I was ready to record it.

In truth, I have little evidence that my last few months photographing in my hometown was not being interferred with by posers -- here, I have a semi-domesticated wildlife that seems to know enough to know when not to pose.

Next time: crows who apparently become friends with the more generous of the subdivision inhabitants within their range....

:::Hi Carol. Real cameras are not always a bonanza. Circumstances (and luck) are even more important. Thirty days and 3000+ shots in a hot and humid (close to 100% every day) climate yield only a handful of pretty pictures. Lucky you that you can enjoy the hummingbirds outside your window.

Possible, it is personal conflict. Kallerna's voting is very similar to personal hostility. It is inadmissible in Commons and very incorrect for an administrator. Same was earlier two times. At that time Kallerna has received the polite remark from other users. 

Possibly, the reason that I have rejected a few Kallerna's nominations. However I always support its good works. I am surprised by such relation, however I concern Kallerna friendly.

Hoi Lycaon,

Ik waardeer dat je de tijd genomen hebt om te stemmen, ik weet dat het verzoek voor een herbevesting raar is maar het is zeker geen zoeken naar aandacht.

Sinds gisteren zat ik met het idee om te stoppen omdat ik al een tijdje het gevoel heb dat ik '''teveel''' fouten maakt en daardoor andere admins te veel aan het werk zet. Toen ik aangaf op IRC dat ik wou stoppen als admin kwam iemand met het idee om een rfa te doen om te kijken of er nog voldoende vertrouwen is en daarop te beslissen om te stoppen of niet, het liefst had ik persoonlijk alles in stilte laten verlopen en nu geedit als een gewone gebruiker. 

En ja ik weet iedereen maakt fouten, we zijn allemaal mensen en alleen mensen die zeggen dat ze geen fouten maken zijn fout maar het is een verschil tussen een foutje maken en teveel fouten maken, en ik vind persoonlijk dat ik over dat laatste ben heen gegaan. 

Groetjes,

Hi Lycaon, can you be more specific about the stitching error?  I looked and couldn't see anything.  The boat on the right is a little blurry because it was moving.  Thanks, :) [[User:Maedin|<b><font color="#4B0082">Mae</font><font color="#008080">din</font></b>]]\<sup>[[User_talk:Maedin|<span style="color:#4B0082">talk</span>]]</sup> 17:27, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
:I've indicated the two most noticeable stitch faults with numbers 1 and 2 (to be removed after viewing). A few others are so minor as to be negligible. The movement of some of the boats (the rightmost one specifically) at the other hand is rather more disturbing than those stitch errors. A crop might fix that.

Thank you so much for pointing out the problem with that amphipod image! Actually, I just entered the information wrong first time - I am the author of the file!

== Your revert ==

Hi!

Any thoughts on why you reverted my (arguably uncontroversial) addition to the FPC rules? Small changes in that vein are being done all the time without voting on them, such as the aforementioned "Well documented" criterion, or even the whole section "Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents" for that matter...

== F-16 VIC ==

You see, the problem is than when I had nominated a different picture for VI some time ago, it was rejected by Yann ([[Commons:Valued image candidates/JAS-39 Gripen down under.JPG|see here]]), because the scope was not exactly the same as the category (even though it was, just a different word was used to make it more precise - and thus a bit narrower). This time scope=category and it's wrong again. Your ''oppose'' is correct, of course, as there really are two SDTs, but then what should the scope be? <nowiki>[[:Category:Solo Display Team|F-16 Solo Display Team]]</nowiki>?
