Hello Jan.Kamenicek, thanks for helping to translate the 2012 Picture of the Year contest. We still need help translating the contest interface and messages, along with reviewing existing translations. This page contains information about which pages need to be translated (please remember to take a look at all three tables on that page). Your help is really appreciated and helps make the premier competition on the world's largest collection of over 15 million freely licensed files possible.

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Eager for education.jpg

Hi Jan, in relation to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Eager for education.jpg, I understand you wish for it to be deleted. Can I ask if this is because you are indentifiable in the image? darkweasel94 mentions that the door part of the image could be in scope, and looking at our categories we don't have any other images of this particular door on Commons; so I wanted to ask you if I were to Gaussian blur your face to make you unidentifiable, and change the description accordingly, would you be amenable to keeping the image on this basis? As an admin, I am willing to delete the image if you really wish for it to be deleted as an unused personal image, but at same time will try to make it possible for us to keep such images where they might be a useful purpose. The choice is yours, so please do let me know. Cheers, russavia (talk) 21:54, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

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. INeverCry 17:40, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

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 »]

the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

 Comment The scope is too broad. The proper scope would be: Papilio deiphobus rumanzovia, (Scarlet Mormon), mating --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 08:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Scope changed from Lepidoptera sex to Papilio deiphobus rumanzovia, mating --Jan Kameníček (talk) 11:28, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

• Please notify previous voters of this change. Remember: "A support vote that was made before a change of scope is not counted unless it is reconfirmed afterwards; an oppose vote is counted unless it is changed or withdrawn".

---

Originally I chose Lepidoptera sex because I think it is unique even in this broad scope, but I changed it as required. Jan Kameníček (talk) 11:28, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

It's better but reread the rules. The binomial name should be in italics followed by the common name in English. Like I have suggested. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 11:57, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

OK.

•  Question I can't figure what is this "nature monument"? The sole reference I found is [1], which matches the geocode, but there is little explanation. Could you explain please? Thanks, Yann (talk) 04:04, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

  This place used to be a limestone quarry; from this time the terrain bumps come from. After the quarry was abandoned, nature took it back and nowadays there grow variety of plants including some protected species. It is a small area of land (just 0.19 km²) which really differs from its agricultural surroundings, as can be seen on the original picture (this is a cropped version). The area was declared a natural monument of the Czech Republic and put on the IUCN list of protected areas, category IV. Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:44, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

  Since there isn't any Wikipedia article, it would be best to add this information in the category here: Category:Vápenice (nature monument). Yann (talk) 09:25, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

  There is a Czech Wikipedia article cs:Vápenice (přírodní památka), but I decided to write something similar also for English Wikipedia, see en:Vápenice (natural monument). Jan Kameníček (talk) 15:48, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

• @Nev1: These are the same. Yann (talk) 17:24, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

• Woops! I meant File:Millennium Bridge 01.jpg. Had them both open at the same time and must have copied the wrong name. Nev1 (talk) 17:41, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  CommentI think the nominated picture is better a) because of the reason mentioned by Nev1 (narrower angle), b) it looks better in full resolution c) there is no distracting shadow at the farther end of the bridge. Jan Kameníček (talk) 17:47, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Historical images of Hradec Králové

Zájmová komunita v akci, pro spostu lidí naproto nereálné.

Dobrý den, no nevím zdali jste u obrázku https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hradec_Králové_hlavní_nádraží_(1929).jpg změnil kategorii na Historical images of Hradec Králové náhodu, nebo zdali jste tak reagoval na předešlou diskusi :-D. No, alepoň si můžete udělat představu o tom, že je to tak, jak říkám já. Českou Wikipedii nechce nikdo podpořit. Proč? Lidé se neumí chovat, na jednu stranu se všichni tváří jako mistři světa, na druhou stranu si pak nevědí rady. Spousta lidí se nějakým způsobem angažuje v různých projektech, které ovšem nikdo neplní. Když jsem nahrával sérii videí, tak jsem si uvědomil, že některé kategorie jsou vyloženě náhodně přeplněné (bec přímého cíle), zejména lokomotivy, která potkáváme v běžném provozu. Ty, které jsou k vidění jenom na nostalgických jízdách Commons postrádá. Podle toho poznáte, že na české Wikipedii zájmová komunita prostě není https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:ČD_Class_100 . No vidíte, prý nejsem schopen spolupráce, ale já nemám problém spolupracovat s archivem, na české Wikipedii tedy spolu všichni spolupracují takovým způsobem, že tam pak vůbec nic není. Lepší nikdy nebude, alespoň do té doby, dokud tam nevzniknnou zájmové komunity lidí. Tím pádem by zanikl univerzální správce a vzniklo něco jako akreditace. Když by pak vyloženě otravoval člověk, jež akreditaci nemá, nebral by se jeho názor vážně. Poté by něco vzniklo, takhle se tam budete všichni jenom hádat. --Daniel Holý (talk) 15:30, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

To je náhoda, o žádné předešlé diskusi o kategoriích tohoto typu nevím. Prostě mi přišlo užitečné oddělit kategorie "historie města", která může zahrnovat např. též současné fotografie různých historických artefaktů, od "historických fotografií". Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:11, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

It is just a coincidence, I do not know about any discussion on categories of that type. I have just found it useful to separate the category of the "history of the city", which can include e. g. current photographs of various historical artefacts, and the category "historical images". --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:16, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Ale dobové fotografie jsou přeci lepší, zejména pak, když původní budovy již neexistují. Ovšem nejeden zdejší (HK) muzejník je poněkud podrážděný, nevím, co se jim to stalo. Možná je na cs Wiki někdo naštval. Inu, tedy přidejte ruku k dílu, můžete zkusit vyjednat nějaké dobové obrázky (jenom jim nepiště anglicky). Tohle video jsem nahrál speciálně pro vás https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ZSSK_Class_475.1.webm :-D. --Daniel Holý (talk) 14:28, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Cart from Ancient Egypt

Hi Jan.Kamenicek. No problem. Reverted. [2] --JMCC1 (talk) 22:03, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Překlady toponym

Zdravím. Co se týče tvých dvou návrhů na přejmenování kategorií, chápu, že jde o snahu sjednotit jazyk názvů kategorií františkolázeňských pramenů, ovšem je otázka, kterým směrem sjednocovat a zda je to nezbytné.

Obecně je otázka, která vlastní jména překládat a která nikoliv. A i pokud je zvykem některé jméno překládat, pokud je použito v souvislém anglickém textu, tak to pořád ještě neznamená, že je v angličtině "široce užíváno", tedy že jde o skutečné exonymum, nikoliv ad hoc překlady, a také to neznamená, že uživatel angličtiny pod tím přeloženým jménem daný subjekt/objekt snadněji najde. Pokud bychom šli do extrému, i třeba název Zahnuté ulice by někdo mohl do bedekru překládat, aby byl čtivější, ale cizinec ji podle toho přeloženého názvu nenajde, a navíc ten zpětný překlad pak už nemusí být jednoznačný, protože Zatočená nebo Ohnutá ulice mohou mít stejný překlad, anebo naopak může ta ulice mít víc různých překladů do angličtiny (třeba škola VŠUP se obvykle překládá jako Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, ale zrovna dnes (resp. už je to včera) jsem narazil na překlad Academy of Applied Arts, který je možná i přesnější).

U těch pramenů to není tak jednoznačné, tam jsou v zásadě přijatelné jak české názvy, tak anglické, v těch dvou případech ani nehrozí nějaká zásadní nejednoznačnost překladu (byť ty Glauberovy prameny mají čtyři různé běžné varianty anglického překladu - možná i proto, že tu anglickou verzi nepoužívají rodilí uživatelé angličtiny, ale převážně čeští autoři propagačních textů, kteří neznají anglický pravopis vlastních jmen – jestli se v názvem podobného typu má používat ta genitivní koncovka 's, s tím si nejsem jistý ani já a mezi těmi výsledky vyhledávání Googlem je to zhruba půl na půl). Nicméně jako určitý test, jestli jde opravdu o široce užívané anglické exonymum, poslouží například Google maps. Pod heslem Prague nebo Wenceslas Square správné místo najdou, zatímco na Glauber Springs nenajdou nic a na Salt Spring najdou sice spoustu míst, ale ten františkolázeňský pramen mezi nimi není. Samozřejmě Google Maps nemůžou být jediným kritériem, v jednotlivých případech tam mohou být anomálie, ale obecně se mi zdají dobrým vodítkem k posouzení a nalezení jistého měřítka, jak moc by měla být anglická verze názvu rozšířena, abychom ji v Commons už měli preferovat. --ŠJů (talk) 01:21, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello!

Thank you for uploading File:Three proposed planets postNHprobe.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons.

File:17 century carriage.jpg

Thanks for your amendment. Yes, I do understand that Czechoslovakia may not be the right description for the (incorrectly presumed by me) territory but what is? If all the variations around the world are taken into account we will have an enormous number of country categories, or am I unnecessarily alarmed? The drawing represents a coach in a particular time but can we not tie it to a place, even to a place of authorship? I'd like to know that because it seems to have a distinctive style and I am writing about the history of coaches. Eddaido (talk) 22:02, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi. I do not think it should be tied to the place of the authorship of the Otto's Encyclopaedia from which the picture comes from. It would be best if it could be tied to the region where such coaches where really used, but as the article in the encyclopaedia does not say it, I am not able to say it either. I guess similar types were used in more countries across Europe, it seems quite similar e.g. to File:Rolka_Sztokholmska_6.JPG. If we are not able to tie it to a specific region, it would probably be best to leave it in the general category. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 23:33, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

All makes sense to me — and what a beautiful picture you have linked to. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 23:37, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

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 Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.

Round 2 will end on 22 July 2018, 23:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,

Overwrite request

Hi. I noticed that your file File:Úvaha posl. P. Wurma o narovnání s Uhry.pdf did not have an OCR layer and I managed to make an file from the same source that does have an OCR layer, has slightly bigger resolution, bigger file size (4MB) and does not have those white borders to the left and right. May I overwrite your file ? Those white borders caused the file not to be OCR-able.--Snaevar (talk) 21:13, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

@Snaevar: Hello. No problem, feel free to replace it if your file is better, just take care that the new file still corresponds to the Czech Wikisource index page. I will be glad for any improvements. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 23:46, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Postcards

Hallo Jan.Kamenicek you restore the Category:Historical undivided back postcards. I try to delete this category, because I think we don't need this category any more. In the last days I sort and order the categories under postcards. Now there is a little bit more structure in this categories. When I first saw this category I don't understand what is the reason for this cat. After same research I create this structur:

• Category:Postcards by page side
  • Category:Backs of postcards
    • Category:Backs of undivided back postcards‎
    • Category:Backs of divided back postcards‎
  • Category:Fronts of undivided back postcards
  • Category:Images with both sides of a postcard‎

So we can sort all images of postcard without problem. Also I don't like the word "historical" in the cat-name, because all postcards "historical". Did you agree that we can now delete the old "Category:Historical undivided back postcards"? Best regards -- sk (talk) 09:02, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

@Stefan Kühn: Hello. I think this category is useful, because Category:Backs of undivided back postcards‎ and Category:Fronts of undivided back postcards‎ (and possibly Category:Images of undivided back postcards with both sides of a postcard‎) need to be placed in one common category. It is not only a matter of front or back side, undivided back postcards are a type of postcard issued until the turn of the 19th and 20th century only, when they were replaced by divided back postcards (the exact time of the change may differ in various countries). These historical postcards need a special category.

As for the word "historical": I understand your objection about this word, but if we omit it, people may start adding also some modern postcards which simply do not have divided back (I saw some modern postcards without divided back in the past), so I thought it better to add this word to avoid confusion. But if you think it is redundant, we can omit this word. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 12:15, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jan.Kamenicek. I noticed that you've made a malformed deletion request: omitting reasons on each file description page. Here, {{Delete}} is not for speedy deletion, please see COM:DP. When you want to delete a page by manually using the {{Delete}} template (rather than the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar provided by the AjaxQuickDelete gadget per COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests), you must follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy or the "By hand" portion of COM:CFD#Starting requests, normally collapsed), otherwise you will create a lot of work for other people. Warning: such edits are not tolerated and have led to account blocks, as "We cannot work here with people who are not willing to follow our procedures, in particular for deletion requests."   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 02:34, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Oh, that is extraordinarily annoying what you have just written. I think that it is quite clear that all the edits mentioned were done in good faith. I omitted the reasons because it seemed superfluous to me as there was a link included that led to the subpage containing the reasons. I admit that it was a mistake and I should repeat the reasons there, but there was no bad faith in it and giving me such a "warning" and threatening me with blocks for a mistake is just upsetting. And your insinuation about me not being willing to follow our procedures is just completely beside the point. Please, next time think twice before wording your messages. Thanks for understanding. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 09:53, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry you feel that way. For years, I have been railing against incomplete deletion requests, which are caused by malformed use of {{Delete}} templates and lack of follow-through, and which are populating subcats of Category:Incomplete deletion requests, in your case subcat Category:Incomplete deletion requests - missing reason. This problem spurred the creation of that category 17:57, 1 February 2007 (UTC), over 17 years ago, and my tracking of it 18:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC), four years ago. As precedents, ColorfulSmoke was blocked 17:07, 29 December 2020 (UTC) by Mdaniels5757 with an expiration time of 3 days (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page", pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 29#ColorfulSmoke and was ultimately blocked indefinitely, and Alex Neman was blocked 16:30, 27 January 2023 (UTC) by Yann with an expiration time of 1 month (account creation blocked) for "Continuing to make malformed deletion requests despite repeated instructions; not responding to concerns on talk page" pursuant to the discussion archived at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Blocks and protections/Archive 34#Alex Neman, Mommy Debby was blocked 20:54, 14 November 2024 (UTC) by Jmabel for "Vandalism: repeated incomplete deletion requests. https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems&oldid=957080538#Mommy_Debby", so blockage is a very real possibility. I don't issue the blocks, the ones that do are Admins.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 17:10, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Yes, I do feel offended. I contribute to several wiki projects and each of them has different rules. It is quite common that some projects, such as en.ws, just link to the deletion discussion where everything is explained. I cannot agree with your attitude that after first mistake (and after really many contributions here), when I did not realize that the rules are different here, you threatened me with blocking my account. And now, to make it worse, you keep offending me by comparing me with some cases of permanent and deliberate abuse. I do not think I need to read anything more of you. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 17:53, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
