Eliminación de Saicos in 1965.jpg

Hola, noto que el archivo Saicos in 1965.jpg fue eliminado ya hace tiempo, fue una ERROR MÍO el no haber puesto la plantilla correspondiente (Template:Ph-Peru-photo) que autoriza por Ley que sí puede estar en Libre derecho de autor, en Wikipedia. Solicito la reaparición de dicho archivo.

Eliminación de Saicos in 1965.jpg

Hola, noto que el archivo Saicos in 1965.jpg fue eliminado ya hace tiempo, fue una ERROR MÍO el no haber puesto la plantilla correspondiente (

According to the Law 13714 (1961), under the administration of the Manuel Prado government, and article 4.3 of the Universal Copyright Convention this photograph entered the public domain in Peru before 1996 because it was taken and performed from negative to paper or similar before 31 December 1975 and was protected for 20 years from its first copy disclosed as of January 1 of the following year. In the case of copies disclosed for first time since 1976 by other person, D.L. 822 (1996) establishes that the shots made before 31 December 1953 automatically enter the public domain, 70 years after their creation from January 1 of the following year. For more information see the Peru copyright page. It is understood that simple photograph is when the author did not include exclusively for his/her literary or scientific work. Not apply for reproduction of copyrighted artistic work "of private domain" or documentary work . If the photo is assigned by a publisher, also photojournism, the exclusive rights of circulation by this one are for 5 years without extending the duration. Indicate the name of the author or owner of the photo is necessary with the date of publication. Warining: D.L. 822 says that some works "enjoying the longest terms of protection recognized by this Law" but denies retroactivity for expired works. A template is necessary explaining why they are in the public domain in the United States. Exceptions: those published for first time between 1976 and 1996 protection may vary, except those were not renewed in this year and URAA date of 1996 if: the owner was never known or did not carry the "prohibition of reproduction" tag for material published before 1981 (use {{PD-Peru-anonymous}} if required), unpublished media created before 1926 or material from an author who died before 1931 (use {{PD-Peru-1961law}} if required).

Hello, Christian Ferrer. Thank you for your admin's works. I noticed one thing. In File:Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum 01.jpg, it is written as "per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Herwarth Walden vor der Portrâtbüste 'Walden' von William Wauer, 1918.jpg". But, I think the correct is "per Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum". Is it right? --Yuraily Lic (talk) 00:12, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

    • Animal hugs: tinyurl.com/yykvj26y (source)

• Development
  • The last week was our quarterly prototyping week. We worked on the following projects. None of them are ready for prime-time yet but we'll continue with them.
    • Slices: We've had a lot of requests for accessing dumps of a smaller part of Wikidata's data since rarely anyone needs the complete data in Wikidata. The tricky part is figuring out which part is needed and if any of that can be generalized. We looked into for example how to make dump generation faster so we could potentially produce more smaller dumps that only cover a part of Wikidata's data, either thematically (e.g. humans) or by type of data (e.g. only statements and English labels and aliases but not sitelinks or descriptions).
    • REST API: As part of our effort to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers we looked into a REST API. We tried to see if we could cover the existing action API modules in a REST API. We could. We'll take this as input for our ongoing API work now.
    • Improving quality ratings through ORES: ORES can judge the quality of an Item automatically. It is currently not very good at it however. We tried a few things to make it more accurate and found some easy wins we'll probably make happen in the next weeks.
    • Query manipulator: One of the ways we could potentially improve the load situation of the Wikidata Query Service is by automatically analyzing and then redirecting a bunch of queries to other systems that are more suitable for that particular type of query. The nice thing about that would be that the person/program sending the query wouldn't have to care about it but it'd be done automagically for them. We tried to build such a system and the results look very promising but more work/experimenting is needed, especially together with the WMF Search team.

Keeping an image as "used"

What's the etiquette here, for future reference? Should I have gone through other language wikis to check (as I assume was the case) that this image was being used in error, and replaced it with the original everywhere before starting the deletion discussion? Or do we assume those articles might be using the lower quality photo for a good reason, and leave it? --Lord Belbury (talk) 13:12, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

• Regarding the potential deletion the relevant policy is COM:INUSE. As far I am aware there is no specific policies to say if you can go through other language wikis to remove or not a specific image. However my personal opinion is that each image will be a different case. This image is used in several wikis since the time of its upload in 2013, therefore one may think it is useful, or at least no one thought necessary to remove it. So in this case I think it would have been unfair to remove the image from the various wiki, and the same day, to come here nominating the file for deletion saying "the file is unused", thing that would have been tecknically true but somewhat unfair as in the reallity the image was used since 2013. That being said you, me or the other users are free to edit the wikis we want, including to remove some images. In my opinion, you can remove or change the image from those wikis, wait a few weeks in order to see if the regular editors of these pages see no objections, then you can go back here and renominate it for deletion if you want.

BILDRECHTE?? mini|Hanns Reich, Selbstporträt im Spiegel, 1961

Bonjour Christian Ferrer, je ne sais pas très bien gerer wikipedia, car l'article "Hanns Reich" (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanns_Reich) est le seul que j'ai jamais redigé. Je suis déjà heureuse d'avoir detecté, que c'est vous qui avez eliminé la foto sous-mentionnée. Hanns Reich était mon père et il a pris la foto le 9 novembre 1961 dans le miroir de notre entrée, le jour de ma naissance. Comme heritière je suis sure que je possède tous les droits nécessaires. Est-ce que vous pourriez reconstituer la foto s.v.p.ou c'est moi qui doit faire quelque chose? It would be really sad not to have a nice portrait foto with the article. Merci beaucoup de votre engagement et aide, Nina Reich-Olden P.S. Excusez mon francais fautif... Nina Brujita (talk) 09:34, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

• Bonjour, c'est à vous de faire une démarche, si vous êtes l'héritière de l'artiste qui a fait la photo, vous devez envoyer une permission par mail à notre système de permission, en n'oubliant pas de mentionner le nom exact de la photo "File:H.R. Selbstportrait.jpg". Il peut y a voir un délai car il y a une file d'attente qui est gérée par des volontaires, mais si la permission est jugée valide alors l'image sera automatiquement restaurée. Tout ceci est fait pour protéger les potentiels droits d'auteurs (Google translation). Cordialement, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 10:57, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Category:Phlebopus sudanicus et Category:Phaeogyroporus sudanicus

Bonjour. Je vois que vous avez travaillé avec des photos de Category:Phaeogyroporus sudanicus. Ces deux catégories se réfèrent à la même espèce et il serait donc préférable que l'une d'elles ne soit qu'une redirection vers l'autre. Selon Species Fungorum, le genre actuel est Phlebopus. Seriez-vous d'accord pour que je fusionne la page Category:Phaeogyroporus sudanicus dans la page Category:Phlebopus sudanicus ? Strobilomyces (talk) 19:22, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Disruptive editor

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that the editor, that you asked a couple of years ago to refrain from reverting certain maps, is sadly at it again.[10][11] Could you please have another word with them as I have no wish to engage in a revert war. Thanks. M.Bitton (talk) 00:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I reverted and I made a very last warning, next time I block them. Thank you for the notification. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 04:11, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Musical Fence

You deleted the image of the Musical Fence and Kendall Band on the wikipedia page of Paul Matisse. I am Mr Matisse's assistant, who put these on his page. They were taken by Mr Matisse. Please re-instate them. Thank you.

I deleted one of your upload, it was the one that is listed in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Musical Fence.jpg. No I can not restore this image, there are two issues with it. Firstly the image was available in the web before to be here, and is still available in higher resolution, in such case we requires that the copyright holder of the photo send a permission to our permission system, see our relevant policies com:Licensing and com:Scope. Secondly this sculpture was completed in 1980 and is not covered by Freedom of panorama in USA, therefore we also need a permission from the artist. If, as you claim above, Mr Matisse realized the sculpture and the photo, then he can send the both permissions to our permission system. Note that if a compatible license is added to the photo in the official web site, e.g. "Photo taken by PAUL MATISSE under CC BY 4.0" (or any other compatible licenses) then that would also be acceptable and I could restore the image.

Categories for taxon

Hello! I hope you don't mind me creating some categories for species in Category:Collections of the MNHN (to be sorted out) for species that had red links. Let me know if there is anything else you feel should be needed in these categories or be done to the images.

Examples:

• Category:Plesionika williamsi
• Category:Cytharomorula grayi
• Category:Pyrgulina rudicostae
• Category:Dentimargo grandidietti
• Category:Hastulopsis campbelli
• Category:Marginella impudica
• Category:Marginella marimba
• Category:Propeamussium siratama

--Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 18:42, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

• @Josve05a: Hello, thansk you for helping, you're welcome. In addition to the site link you must set also Commons category (P373) [14] otherwise {{VN}} display an error message example. And also Commons category (P373) allow to provide the links to parent taxas in the Wikidata infobox when it is used example, and therefore to put the name of the taxon where you are in bold. Even if you don't plan to use the infobox, to make disappear the error message is a sufficient reason to set Commons category (P373).

When the category is created and linked to wikidata, you can remove the category Category:Collections of the MNHN (to be sorted out).

Personaly I recently decided to also add a prominent statement, I also add the image to wikidata, and the infobox in the category, but the category is the main feature to sort the images. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:16, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, there was a bot previously which went through and fixed these, but it doens't seem to run anymore. I'll make sure to add Commons category (P373) as well. Thanks! --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:22, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Bot bloqué en VI

Bonjour, j'espère que tu as passé de bonnes vacances. Le BOT ne passe plus en VI depuis quelques jours J'ai fait un mot à Dschwen qui je crois s'en occupe mais les nominations s'accumulent et j'ai peur que tout se bloque. Merci de ce que tu pourras faire. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• Bonjour Didier j'espère que tu vas bien. L'été je n'ai jamais de vacances, je travaille pour un marchant de boisson alors tu imagines.... Je n'ai pas travaillé durant le confinement, ensuite on a repris doucement, et finalement en Juillet et Aout on a travaillé quasiment comme les années précédentes à part pour les gros évènements qui ont été annulé. Quelques heures à peine après que le gouvernement ai ré-ouvert les frontières Européennes au début de l'été, il y a avait des belges au Cap d'Agde! ils devaient être dans les starting-blocks...

En ce qui concerne le BOT, j'ai mis un message dans le Commons:Village pump/Technical, je ne peut pas t'aider beaucoup plus. J'ai vu qu'il y a plusieurs utilisateurs expérimentés qui sont actif en VI, peut-être pouvez-vous vous partagez les taches pour faire le boulot manuellement, au moins pour taguer les images et les retirer de la liste des candidats (la notification sur la page de discussion n'étant pas absolument nécessaire à mon avis). Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 06:43, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

OK merci je vais au moins commencer... --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:48, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Merci aussi pour l’église où j'avais oublier de terminer la mise en place ! --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:52, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Arizona State University Biocollections

Hello! Do you have any plans to upload https://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?publishing_org=814cdfb5-d4f8-4453-815f-ea5df98e76bf in the future? If not, could I bribe you for help to do so? Most are either cc-by 4.0 or cc0. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 08:02, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• @Josve05a: Hi, there are so many data in GBIF that I did not know those ones. But yes I can do it, I will start by uploading the images of this dataset, it will may take a few days. Be aware that I will not be able to sort the images and to create the categories as I have already other stuffs. The images will be uploaded with 3 categories: the taxon in which they are categorized in GBIF but sometimes this category is not the valid one but a synonym, Category:Arizona State University Hasbrouck Insect Collection within Category:Arizona State University and Category:Arizona State University Hasbrouck Insect Collection (to be sorted out) to be removed when the taxon categories are checked and created. Is that ok for you? Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 08:45, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Oh I forgot, it will also take the delay to wait for white listing the domain. between 3 days and 3 weeks! Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 08:54, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

That would be great! Thanks! --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 12:03, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

• @Josve05a: there are actually a bit more than 6800 images in this dataset and within these images there are more than 900 images of Category:Curculionoidea without further identifications, exemple.  Question should we upload them or not? Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 14:18, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
  • Yes, I don't see why not. If not at a species level, it should be categorized as Category:Unidentified foo, but still be kept. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 15:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
    • Ok, fine. Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 15:47, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
