I nearly forgot: Thanks Yann :o) --Christian Nurtsch^TM 09:53, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your Vote (support) at my stopped RFA. Even if it is stopped, it was a nice experience for me and I learned from it. Perhaps I´ll try it again in a few month, and I would be happy if you would give your vote (best a support;)) again. Thank you again, __ ABF __ 12:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Try it again when the time is ripe. ;) --Christian Nurtsch^TM 12:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks christian for your help and no problemo for the images deleted (i made something wrong, i know) - - - questions 1) where can i train my hability to upload + 2) the images i will upload on common will be availaible on any wiki in any language?! Bjorkfan 07:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bjorkfan, I left you a message on your talk page that shows the most important things. Attention should be paid to the licensing of your images. Yes, every image you upload to Commons will be displayed in any wiki of the Wikimedia Foundation. --Christian Nurtsch^TM 08:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, i'll have a look - - - by the way, the images i uploaded belong to the "fair use" licence (plus: pirating "pirate images" is an interesting aspect of rights or no rights) : deleting them was too quick, i could even not react... Bjorkfan 12:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, in general all covers are fair use images, and fair use is not allowed on Commons. The only way is, that the work is released into public domain by the copyright holder. --Christian Nurtsch^TM

Cropping is not all that is needed with many of those scans I found at that database. I paused before uploading them and considered cleaning them up. They are so cool, some photographs from the 1920's! There is an email address there which I intend to write to to get the higher resolution images that they said they had. It is one of the reasons that I am making sure I note the image number on the uploads. I am going to ask that you consider not suggesting work on the smaller images but instead see if you can or wait until I or somebody else gets access to the higher resolution images. The scans are not of bad quality as they are, but they can be better. I am also wondering if grayscaled png would be better than the jpeg for such images.

I continued to upload the smaller images for several reasons. That database is really slow -- slow enough that I feel bad for the computer that is serving the images. The information presented for each image is good, but perhaps could be better. For instance, I have put a few images of law enforcement people and construction workers in the category of the city they were photographed in and I don't know if that is the right approach. This upload was to get the information in place and the license and all of that. Later, it should be easier to work with the larger images when cleaning and cropping can be concentrated upon.

I feel like I have actually accomplished something when I put an image into 1928. Cleaning it and making it bigger and better will be the same kind of kick, I think. Thanks -- carol 23:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it doesn't make sense to keep tagging those images until they are larger. Those images are really nice and would be even better in a higher resolution. Maybe we should remove the {{crop}}-tags again? --Christian Nurtsch^TM 07:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the attention to my images, with tags and so forth. I am giving some consideration to how to manage them best, some items are just being trialled - and so on. In dealing with some images, I will make sure they are cropped etc, with the greatest retention of information. Any contributions for use at wikisource, for example, should remain unmodified. Can I suggest that those images that can be enhanced be re-uploaded under another name, Image (crop).jpg, or whatever. I found that an slightly skewed image had been trimmed, it was not an enhancement in my opinion. I tend not to watch things here, I'm not sure others do either, so perhaps erring on the side of caution is best. Hope my thoughts on this are helpful. Regards, Cygnis insignis 12:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should create a tag that points out that reworking of images is undesirable. In the case of your image(s) I just thought a crop would be useful. My bad! --Christian Nurtsch^TM 06:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the solution is, I do think that cropped pictures are useful. Reworking is desirable, but the uploader may need to be aware of it. Perhaps a tag that suggests creating an alternate and enhanced version? Many of the wikisource pages would be in large numbers; I think a tag has been suggested there to state something like "... this is an original scan and should not be altered, a modified image can be uploaded to a new name ... ", this could be added to the scans. If someone was able to create a template, it would be useful. Cygnis insignis 10:01, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Original is used in a similar way, but it's just for obsolete images. I created a prototype of a template for scans: User:Christian Nurtsch/Scan. Maybe you can improve it a bit ;o) Christian Nurtsch^TM 12:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers! I will take it round to source and see what they think. Cygnis insignis 12:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great work on that template. I don't think we need to create a separate template though—Template:Original can be modified to treat both cases. --Spangineer^en ws (háblame) 02:39, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Icon_03092_().jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Hello and thanks for your message, but I'm not the original uploader of the image. --Christian Nurtsch^TM 18:05, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I just had a look at your contribution list, and I like what I see. Have you thought about requesting adminship? —LX (talk, contribs) 10:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it's a good idea. But isn't it a bit early? I have just around 600 edits. --Christian Nurtsch^TM 11:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The normal expectation is that you should have 200 edits, which you easily meet. I'd personally like to see at least 500 or so, and others might think that 600 is still too few, but ultimately, I think it's the nature of the contributions that matter most.

However, if you feel like you want more experience, then nobody is going to pressure you into applying early. Just know that if you do choose to file a request, you have at least one vote of support. You seem to tag images judiciously, and we could definitely use more people to act on the speedies as opposed to just tagging them. In any case, do keep up the good work. :) —LX (talk, contribs) 11:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that great feedback. Maybe, I'll try it in a month or two. At least I'll try to carry on my work on Commons as hitherto ;)--Christian Nurtsch^TM 11:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When you get to decide I'd be likely to support you too. Getting more experience is always better than trying to quickly though - thanks for the work dealing with the "test" material, regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 17:01, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert here? There is no proof that the author of the artwork gave his/her permission. Lycaon 12:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Tomascastelazo stated that he's the author of the image. For the copyright of the sculptures, see en:Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/La Catrina and Commons:Featured picture candidates/Image:Catrinas 2.jpg. --Christian Nurtsch^TM 14:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I uploaded Image:Moulin blanlhac.jpg‎ from the french wikipédia; I have at least to prevent the image from deletion at commons, because it soon will disappear at wikipédia. You gave it a crop tag. I don't know that tag. What does it mean, is there a risk of deletion? What has to be done and couldn't you do that yourself instead of tagging it? Cheers Havang 16:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Salut, the {{crop}}-tag doesn't stand for a risk of deletion. It signalizes just, that the related image should have its border removed. I would have done it, but there is sometimes not enough time. So it's better, to tag images first to stay on top of things. Regards, Christian Nurtsch^TM 17:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry about the problem for my photo Esther Hess. I do not know what to do for this problem . If somebody can delete my photo and put agin the firt photo, I thank you. After, I give another name for my photo Esther Hess.

--Pantalaskas 20:26, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, the problem is now solved. You may upload the image of Esther Hess now with a different name. Best regards, Christian Nurtsch^TM 20:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your help is very much appreciated!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:14, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem :) --Christian Nurtsch^TM 13:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

for the English-corrections! :-) --Luxo 21:20, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Think nothing of it ;) --Christian Nurtsch^TM 08:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition of the {{Cover}} template to Image:Beethoven piano.jpg was wrong as the uploader had not claimed 'fair use', and that template explicitly states "This template should only be used for obvious cases, and only where the contributor has explicitly claimed fair use; use {{Delete}} for others". The uploader had already been warned about the lack of license, and I was trying to work with this new user to show her what was required. --Tony Wills 10:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I guess {{copyvio}} would have been better. But of course it was a fair-use image, the uploader just didn't claim it. However, both templates have the same function. --Christian Nurtsch^TM 17:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The user had asked for help on User:Siebrand's page after the first warning, and I thought this new warning was battering this new user about the head too much :-). If I get no response then I will post a {{Copyvio}} or {{Delete}} request. I will remove the {{Cover}} template in the meantime. Thanks :-) --Tony Wills 21:04, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you put on a tag about cropping this image, Image:A tomb in MacDufie's Chapel, Oronsay, 1772.png, and i just uploaded a cropped version. Is it ok if i take off the crop tag now?--Celtus 09:47, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But of course :o) Christian Nurtsch^TM 11:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wollen Sie ihm einen Versuch geben? ;-) --Boricuæddie 15:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's worth trying. Let's see what the community thinks :) --Christian Nurtsch^TM 15:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
