User page redirect
editHey there! Just to let you know: interwiki redirects don't work on Wikimedia wikis, which is why your user page looks a bit odd. You can use {{soft redirect|w:User:Jason.nlw}} instead though. Microchip08 (talk) 13:08, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Deleting a previous version
editHi. I need some help please. Our organization were given rights on two images by a copyright holder and i uploaded them to commons. However the original copyright holders have requested that we replace the files with a lower resolution version. Out of respect to the copyright holders we wish to comply with the request and have uploaded a lower quality version. However the higher quality image still appears in image history on Commons. Can the previous version be deleted without having to delete the whole image? (which is in use in many articles)? Thanks Jason.nlw (talk) 11:46, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
Moved from Commons talk:Deletion policy - Hi, first of all, what files were you talking about? Unless they have been uploaded less than a week earlier than your overwrites, replacing them with a lower-resolution version is considered a license revocation. FDMS 4 20:54, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- FDMS4, thanks for moving this here. I believe this has already been covered by a discussion at Commons:Help desk. Green Giant (talk) 21:29, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

File:Beaumaris.jpeg and others
editHi;
Nice that you input many images of works of art but could you limit the categories to the ones relevant and not redundant. For instance in this image I had to remove non existant categories and others that are redundant with (like Wales with Beaumaris). Please use the most significant categories.
Pierre cb (talk) 01:44, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Pierre cb. Thanks for your message. These files are being added use the GLAM Wiki toolset which automatically detects categories from the metadata of the images. Either i have to add these images with no categories or accept that some will be non existent. Once the entire batch (about 5000) has been added there are wiki tools i can use to clean up the categories. Thanks for your help. Jason.nlw (talk) 08:14, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- OK. Pierre cb (talk) 14:26, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- I've deleted the Category:Wales on all files, as a more specific cat is preferable eg Category:Aberystwyth Castle. I've also cleaned (cut, contrast and starighten) around a hundred images, mainly watercolours. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 07:24, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
- When you do the cleanup, would you also change or remove the categories like Category:1770-1780? When will your upload be done? I know you plan to clean up the categories, but in the meantime other editors are seeing categories that aren't needed and creating them anyway. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:58, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks user:Llywelyn2000 and user:Auntof6 The upload is ongoing at the moment. About 2000 out of 5000 have uploaded in the last week, so it could take another week or more, A smaller upload will follow - mainly images which failed the first upload for one reason or another, but Sorting out the categories will be my priority once the upload is finished. Thanks for all the help and patience. This is a great collection of images which will hopefully enrich many Wales related articles in in many languages. Jason.nlw (talk) 16:31, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
- A couple of suggestions: 1. '(Wales)' in brackets is not needed unless we need to disambig e.g. 'Category:Aberyswyth Castle' is better than 'Category:Aberyswyth Castle', yet 'Category:Bangor, Wales' is essential 2. 'Category:Wales' is not needed. 3. I think that 'Category:Watercolours from Wales painted 1770-1780' would be very useful - it is in line with similar such as 'Category:Photographs taken on 2002-08-31' or 'Category:Churches in Wales photographed in 2015'. Great to see such valuable images - diolch / thanks Jason! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 16:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

- OK. Pierre cb (talk) 14:26, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
- That sounds good. The images are very interesting, and I'm sure they'll be useful. One other thing that might help if you can do it: if you include Category:Welsh Landscape Collection, you don't need Category:National Library of Wales, because the first is a subcategory of the second. However, if it's too much trouble to take care of now, it can be done later. I already took Category:National Library of Wales off of some of them using AWB. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:18, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
- Would it be possible to finetune your robot to give more specific subcategories. You say that it uses the categories in the image but could you make links. For instance when it sees Storms, it gives category:Storms in art or category:Storms for lightning, etc.. since they all work of art? Pierre cb (talk) 19:07, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Image categorisation
editHi Jason,
I really love all the images you're uploading, but could I please make one little request: please only add the most specific categories for an item, but not more general categories, if the relationship is already implied by a more specific category that you are adding.
So, for example, on File:The wonders of the Menai, in its suspension and tubular bridges.jpeg (lovely image),
- Category:Welsh Landscape Collection is great, as a source category
- Category:Britannia Bridge and Category:Menai Suspension Bridge in art are great, as image content categories;
but
- Category:Works of Thomas Telford is redundant, as we already have Category:Menai Suspension Bridge as a sub-category; similarly Category:Bridges in Wales
- ditto Category:Rivers of Wales (questionable anyway, but the bridges are already sub-categories of Category:Menai Strait, which in turn is in the category tree of Category:Anglesey
etc
It really helps if we can keep higher-level categories as clear as possible, to make the things that should have new sub-categories created stand out, and to stop these higher-level categories becoming impossibly over-run with items.
I appreciate that this classification strategy is the opposite of the tagging strategy now used by most sane digital systems. Nevertheless, the classification approach is the foundation of the Commons system of human-readable sized categories; so if possible it would be good if some of the redundant super-categories could be removed. All best, Jheald (talk) 15:46, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, Thanks very much for your message, and for your clear and helpful advice on categories. I am aware of problems with categories on the Welsh Landscape Collection in particular, this was caused by the way the categories were mapped from subject fields in the metadata. In hindsight we would have done things differently, and myself and a few others are periodically trying to tidy up categories in this collection. Rest assured lessons have been learned and in future we will trial much smaller batches and spend more time getting the categories right.
- Thank you for your help, and your interest in National Library of Wales Collections! Jason.nlw (talk) 16:05, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- It should be possible to write a bot script to detect and (optionally) remove super-categories from a given set of images. It's the kind of thing that User:Fæ could probably knock out in about five minutes! (Even if some of us mere mortals might find it more of a challenge...) Jheald (talk) 21:56, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
- I figured there must be a way. I will have to ask nicely to see if User:Fæ or some other tech wizard could do this for me. Thanks again Jason.nlw (talk) 08:56, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
National Library of Wales
editHi - what's your reasoning behind the mass removal of images in Category:Images from the collection of the National Library of Wales? An optimist on the run! 06:55, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- Ignore that - I've just realised Category:Photographs by John Thomas is a sub-category. An optimist on the run! 07:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Turner
editJason, just a note that your pic of Turner's Dolbadarn Castle came out red so I changed it back to the old version. Also, it needs the title to include the words study because that is what it is. See here: http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/turner-dolbadarn-castle-study-for-diploma-picture-tw0005 The final version of the painting, which is twice as large, is here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:J.M.W._Turner_Dolbadern_Castle,_1800.jpg Thanks Philafrenzy (talk) 19:34, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Philafrenzy I take your point about the title but i take issue with reverting the image. The version I have uploaded was digitised and colour managed this week from the original painting at the National Library of Wales. It is the most accurate representation of the original available in digital form. Secondly, The National Library has released this high resolution image as part of Europeana 280 project and must be uploaded to Commons. If you insist on your version existing, we are going to end up with two versions with identical information, which is not ideal. Please let me know your thoughts. Best Jason.nlw (talk) 21:26, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- I have no problem with a better image at all. It came out bright red (or pink) all over. That was why I reverted it. How does it look to you? Philafrenzy (talk) 22:07, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Philafrenzy: It looks slightly saturated and lacking deep greens of my cheap chromebook (which does present as a pinky film) but ive just checked it on my smart phone it looks great - deep rich colours. It also looks good on my proper high res monitor at work. I will check again at work tomorrow, but i'm confident it will be good. The National Library has state of the art colour management software, so it really should be accurate. Maybe see if you can take a look on another devise? Your version, which was digitized several years ago from a 35mm colour slide is slightly too dark and the reds are not as rich as they should be (I saw the original not long ago). Let me know what you think, so i can either revert or re-upload. Cheers! Jason.nlw (talk) 22:47, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- Just tried on Chrome, IE and mobile. All look fine but on Firefox (my version reports that it is up to date) your picture looks bright pink/red like only one channel is being picked up. But all of my other pictures look fine and all of your uploads look fine too. Please try it on Firefox and see if you can replicate. Philafrenzy (talk) 01:04, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Philafrenzy: I've just checked the image on firefox....WOW that is PINK!!!! I now completely understand why you reverted the image - my apologies. It appears that the problem is in the colour profile we used and firefox's inability to read it. We are going to change the profile and re-upload Asap. Hopefully this will resolve the issue. Thanks for your patience. Jason.nlw (talk) 09:38, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- @Philafrenzy: Ok, it looks like the latest version has fixed the problem. If your happy with this, i will leave this version in place, and we will keep the title as it is. Thanks for your help! Best Jason.nlw (talk) 10:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. Looks good now. If only we had as good a picture of the final work at the Royal Academy. One day. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:08, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

File:John Thomas (Photographer).jpg
editFurther to my note on your Wikipedia talk page, a have a question about File:John Thomas (Photographer).jpg. You have identified the source of this image as [1], which us the same image as File:A group of walkers (?) NLW3366276.jpg (I have added an {{Extracted from}} tag to indicate this). However, your new image does not appear to be exactly the same as the group image: the man is looking more to the left, and the strap over his chest is partly obscured by the hat of the man in front. Can you check the source of this image? I think it must be from another plate taken on the same occasion. I haven't spotted this second plate in Category:Photographs by John Thomas, has the NLW's entire collection of John Thomas photographs been uploaded? Verbcatcher (talk) 21:37, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- HiVerbcatcher, thanks for looking into this. You clearly have a keen eye! Having looked into this there are indeed two different images. You can see them here and here. It is very possible one didn't upload as it has exactly the same title as the other. Much of this collection was uploaded by volunteers before my time so i cant be sure that all images are on Commons, but most are. I have added the other version to Commons File:A group of walkers. John Thomas.jpg and linked the cropped version to this, the correct image. I hope the clears things up. Best Jason.nlw (talk) 09:21, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
File:Cardiff castle, Glamorganshire (1133761).jpg
editAre you able to rescan File:Cardiff castle, Glamorganshire (1133761).jpg. I suspect that the psychedelic sky effect is caused by an interference pattern between the scanner resolution and the fine pattern of the engraving. Adjusting the scanner settings may resolve this. Alternative versions are here and here. Verbcatcher (talk) 22:14, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- Several other scanned engravings show similar artefacts, for example:

- I don't want to appear ungrateful, you're doing great work. Verbcatcher (talk) 22:35, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Verbcatcher, this problem is not as easy to fix i'm afraid. If i get time i will try uploading slightly higher quality versions as sometimes file compression can cause this distortion, but i know that there was a problem with some of these images when they were scanned, and as things stand the National Library wouldn't have the resources to go back and re scan. But again, thanks for highlighting the issue, and thank you for taking an interest in our image uploads. Best Jason.nlw (talk) 09:31, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
It appears the the library already has good scans and that rescanning is not required.
- Go to File:Cardiff castle, Glamorganshire (1133761).jpg
- Click on the link in You can view this image in its original context on the NLW Catalogue
- This gets you here
- If you zoom in using the button then the patterning disappears and the fine detail of the engraving appears.
I have looked at a few other images and they all look ok at maximum enlargement.
The problem is with the software used to rescale the image. To avoid this sort of artifact the high-resolution image should be blurred before it is rescaled, to remove high-resolution detail that cannot be rendered at the lower resolution. The technical details are discussed in w:en:Anti-aliasing filter and in w:en:Multidimensional sampling.
The software used by viewer.library.wales has not implemented this correctly; at some zoom levels the website image has the same problem as the Commons image. Wikimedia appears to have implemented rescaling correctly, for example see File:William Hogarth - Gin Lane.jpg where none of the resolutions show this sort of artefact.
What is needed is to upload higher-resolution images. Help:Scanning#Engravings, etchings, and related suggests "somewhere between 300dpi to 800dpi", but ideally the full resolution of the original scans should be uploaded.
I realise that re-uploading all the library's engravings would be a significant task, and probably not a good use of your time. However, it may be possible to crowd-source this effort to Wikimedia editors. To enable this the library would need to give access to high-resolution files and resolve any licensing issues.
For downloading, I have experimented with the "Share" button on the webpage which purports to generate html code to embed an image in another website, but all I get is a black rectangle. The simplest solution for users would be a "download" button (ideally for a PNG or TIFF file). Alternatively, instructions on how to construct a URL that accesses a high-resolution image.
On licensing, some or all the images on viewer.library.wales have a more restrictive license than the corresponding images on Commons. For example, on Commons File:Cardiff castle, Glamorganshire (1133761).jpg has Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication, whereas the version on the library's website has "...It may be used for non-commercial purposes while respecting the moral rights of the creators of the digital version.", which may not be acceptable for Commons. Is this difference deliberate, or has the website not caught up with the revised licensing? Is the library seeking to retain rights over full-resolution images for possible commercial exploitation?
Regards, Verbcatcher (talk) 19:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Verbcatcher, Thanks for your input. The Library is currently reveiwing its policy around the quality at which it releases openly licensed. Once this has been agreed we may be able to look at releasing full size copies of these images.
As for the discrepancy in licenses i have raised this with the Library web team, so they are aware of the problem. Hopefully it will be resolved soon by updating the licences on the website to reflect the licences used on Wiki Commons. But for now, you can safely reuse the images under the terms of the more open license. Jason.nlw (talk) 10:10, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Sain uploads
editHi, thank you for uploading the audio clips and album covers from Sain. They are a valuable addition, and I have added several of them to Wikipedia articles. Some of the album covers provide pictures that are otherwise difficult to obtain for biographies of living people, I have already added these for w:Trebor Edwards, w:Dafydd Iwan, w:Annette Bryn Parri, w:Dennis O'Neill (tenor) and w:Ryan Davies.
I have a few observations and suggestions.
Many of the audio clip pages do not give the names of all the audible performers, such as the pianist accompanying a singer. For example, in Category:Audio clips of Dennis O'neill the pianist is prominent but is not credited. This would give useful information about the clips, and its omission might be a licensing problem as the licence requires attribution.
It would be good to specify the composers of musical items, or specify when they are "traditional". For example, File:Tami - Mary Hopkin.ogg is a version of Tammy by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, made famous by Debbie Reynolds.[2] I hope that Sain have sorted out any necessary permissions.
Unfortunately the Sain pages of the albums (e.g. this]) do not specify the performers or the composers. Sometimes they can be found on another website.[3][4]. These details would often be in the notes on the back of the album cover. Is there any chance of these being added, in a resolution sufficient to read the text?
I have identified the singer on File:Yr Hen Glochydd - Nansi Richards.ogg as Emrys Jones and added him and his category to the file page. I have added this clip to Cerdd Dant, which I hope is accurate.
In the following clips the listed performer is not heard at all. This may be because the clip stops before the listed performer starts:
- File:Core 'Ngrato - Dennis O'neill.ogg - artist listed as Dennis O'Neill, but we only hear piano music
- File:Y Mor enaid - Bryn Terfel.ogg - artist listed as Bryn Terfel, but we only hear piano music
- File:Easter Hymn - The Morriston Orpheus Choir.ogg - artist listed as The Morriston Orpheus Choir (male voice), but we only hear a female soloist and organ. I have identified the singer and organist and fixed this.
Some of the dates are suspect. For example, File:Yr Hen Glochydd - Nansi Richards.ogg is listed as "Performance date 2009", but Nansi Richards died in 1979. In this case the date is probably the release date of the compilation album.
The two clips in Category:Audio clips of John Thomas sound like different singers who should not be categorised together.
I have added some categories for performers, linking their album covers and their audio clips, e.g. Category:Robin Huw Bowen.
It might be useful to have a category for each album, linking its tracks and album cover. The clips are already listed on the page for the album cover, under File usage on Commons, so there might be a clever way to add these to a category. This would help with categorisation, for example if there were a Category:Caneuon Meirion Williams (SAIN SCD 2013) then this would be in Category:Bryn Terfel, Category:Annette Bryn Parri and Category:Meirion Williams, and we would not need to add these categories to each clip from the album.
Thanks again, Verbcatcher (talk) 04:47, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Verbcatcher, Thanks for taking the time to organise this collection and for starting to make use of these sound clips. The data for the clips was scraped from the SAIN website (with their permission), but the data you see on Commons is all we could access. Even then i had to manually fetch some of the data from other websites such as itunes. I guess if additional data is available on other websites it might be possible to do a scrape and add that additional data to Commons. Unfortunately i dont really have any more time to spend on this project. I'm happy to share the data i have is someone else is willing to give it a go. I am also hoping to find volunteers to created Wikidata items for the bands/albums ect using the scraped data.
With the Album covers, we only had permission to upload the small thumbnails of the front covers, and since this is the first time a record label has done anything like this (to the best of our knowledge) I would be very reluctant to ask for any more from them. It's fantastic that they have agreed to release what we have.
So i'm affraid, all i can say really is that i am happy to share my upload data with others who might want to develop this further, and keep up the good work with your manual improvements to the data - it is much appreciated!
Licence query
editHi Jason, you uploaded File:S.O. Davies portrait 1490010.jpg as CC0, but the source website seems to say cc-by-nc-nd. Has that changed since you uploaded it, and might this affect other uploads? SarahSV (talk) 21:09, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi User:SlimVirgin thanks for flagging this issue. The image has been uploaded legitimately and it is the National Library of Wales Catalog which needs updating. I actually work at NLW and uploaded the image with full permission of management, and NLW hold the copyright for all images in this collection. You can see the OTRS here. We have uploaded around 15k images from NLW collections so far and it is likely that there will be other cases where the licences do not match. This is because data for older digitized material has not always been updated to reflect changes in policy ect. This is something we are aware of and are working on. With future uploads we are working to insure the licence data all matches before upload. In the mean time if you come across any other issues with our collections, please feel free to get in touch and i will do my best to rectify it. Cheers Jason.nlw (talk) 22:07, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Jason, thank you for the speedy reply. Can you or someone else from the library email OTRS confirming that these images are CC0? This has just affected a featured-article nomination on en-wiki (en:Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Aberfan disaster/archive1), where I added the S. O. Davies image but, because someone had earlier noticed the contradictory licences, it had to be removed from the article. There are likely to be other cases where people check the licence on the site and decide not to use the photographs because of the restrictions. SarahSV (talk) 22:53, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
- No problem. I am back in the office next week and will try and get this sorted asap. Jason.nlw (talk) 12:46, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Files released by Sain
editIn response to the discussion at w:en:Talk:Mary Hopkin#Audio samples, here are details of my concerns about the licensing of the files released by Sain.
My main concern is that several of the clips are of music that is probably under copyright. Has Sain obtained permission from the copyright holders (the composer, the lyricist, and the translator where appropriate) to release these clips under the CC BY-SA 3.0 licence, or is this permission not required? Secondly, this licence requires attribution – should the other copyright holders be attributed alongside Sain?
For American music there is the additional complication that in some periods copyrights had to be registered and subsequently renewed, otherwise the work became public domain. Commons:Hirtle chart gives some details, but it does not directly discuss composer's copyright.
Mary Hopkin
I suspect that all the clips in Category:Audio clips of Mary Hopkin are cover versions of songs that are unlikely to be public domain, or songs composed for Mary Hopkin. For example:
- File:Tami - Mary Hopkin.ogg – a translation of 'Tammy' by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans, a hit for Debbie Reynolds.
- File:Aderyn Llwyd - Mary Hopkin.ogg – The label on the Cambrian CSP703 single (1969) identifies this as '(Sparrow) Gallagher / Lyle, Welsh Words – Gwyn Davies'.[5]
- File:Draw Dros y Moroedd - Mary Hopkin.ogg – This is the tune of 'Guantanamera', which is attributed in its Wikipedia article to Joseíto Fernández (1908–1979). Various websites attribute the Welsh lyrics to Ann Clee.[6]
- File:Rhywbeth Syml - Mary Hopkin.ogg – the tune is 'Somethin' Stupid' by C. Carson Parks, a hit for Frank and Nancy Sinatra
- File:Tro, tro, tro - Mary Hopkin.ogg – a translation of 'Turn, turn, turn' by Pete Seeger, a hit for The Byrds
John Rutter
John Rutter is a living composer, noted for his choral works. The clips in Category:Audio files of music by John Rutter would probably need his permission.
Performers playing their own music
When a performer is playing music that they have composed then he or she may need to give permission as the composer. This might be covered by the recording contracts. For example, the following the clips are of Catrin Finch playing her own compositions.
Album cover artwork
I assume that Sain have are satisfied there are no problems with copyrights owned by the graphic designers and photographers of album cover artwork. Do they need and have permission from the creators of the underlying works?
- File:Man Gwyn, album cover.jpg – This is based on 'Lle Cul, Patagonia' an oil painting by Kyffin Williams (1918–2006). The painting is owned by The National Library of Wales.[7]
- File:Adre'n ôl, album cover.jpg – this includes a photograph of John Owen Jones on stage, which I have cut out as File:John Owen-Jones as Jean Valjean.jpg. Have Sain considered the copyright status of this component of the album cover?
Others
These are more or less at random. I am not a Welsh speaker and was led to these by the file names.
- File:There but for Fortune - Maralene Powell.ogg - 'There but for Fortune' by Phil Ochs (1940-1976), a hit for Joan Baez
- File:Eli Jenkins' Prayer - Bryn Terfel-rhys Meirion.ogg, File:Eli Jenkins Choral Version - Brymbo Male Choir.ogg, File:Eli Jenkins Spoken Version - Brymbo Male Choir.ogg – I don't know who wrote the music, but the words are from 'Under Milk Wood' by Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
- File:Pasadena - Tredegar Town Band.ogg - 'Home in Pasadena' by Harry Warren (1893–1981), a hit for The Temperance Seven
- File:Do You Hear the People Sing - Bro Aled Male Voice Choir.ogg – from the musical 'Les Misérables'.
- File:Cant Help Falling in Love - Brecon Male Voice Choir.ogg – by by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss, a hit for Elvis Presley
All the files listed in the 'File usage on Commons' section of File:Welsh Male Voice Choirs Sing Hits Of The 60S & 70S, album cover.jpg should be checked.
I hope this is helpful. I hope that it is not necessary to delete any of these files and that Sain are not discouraged from releasing more material, but I also want to help maintain the reputation and integrity of Wikimedia Commons.
Regards, Verbcatcher (talk) 18:46, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Verbcatcher, thanks for your time in putting this together. I will pass this on to SAIN and hopefully they can confirm how and why they have the rights to these clips. I also checked in with the OTRS people and they said it's fine to change the license template, so i'll try and get that done today. Best Jason.nlw (talk) 08:10, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Verbcatcher I just wanted to let you know that i am now in contact with the CEO of SAIN, and there will likely be a review of all the clips. It is looking like there is third party copyright in some of the cover songs in particular which will need to be taken down. I will keep you in the loop. Thanks again for bringing this to my attention. Jason.nlw (talk) 09:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
- I have been working on the Sain files again, fixing clips that had been attributed to the wrong performer or linked to the wrong cover artwork. In the course of this I have come across more suspect files, and have been making a list. Please let me know if and when you or Sain want this list. Verbcatcher (talk) 00:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

FIY - a large number of SAIN clips have now been nominated for deletion following a full review of the content by SAIN RECORDS. Jason.nlw (talk) 15:16, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- I think that Sain are probably being over-cautious in some cases. For example, File:Cwm Rhondda - Cymanfa Tabernacl Treforus, 1989.ogg is Wele'n sefyll rhwng y myrtwydd by Ann Griffiths to the tune Cwm Rhondda, and is clearly public domain music (it does not sound like a modern arrangement). I will cast my eye down the list for titles that look like PD music.
- Yes i think they probably are. If you want to have a look through the list and remove any obvious PD songs from the deletion request then please feel free. Sadly i dont have the time to go through them at the moment and SAIN ar obviously keen for offending clips to come down asap. Cheers! Jason.nlw (talk) 19:40, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Did Sain respond about File:Man Gwyn, album cover.jpg, which looks like a clear smoking gun (see above)? Perhaps the National Library has released Kyffin's painting under a free licence, but I doubt it. Verbcatcher (talk) 16:20, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- I think we are ok with the Album covers. SAIN seemed pretty sure about those, plus they are only low quality...and they were uploaded by me as a National Library of Wales employee. Jason.nlw (talk) 19:40, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Ok, but you are open to a challenge by Kyffin Williams' heirs. The library owns the physical painting, but it is unlikely to be able to licence the reproduction rights to third parties. The current licence allows anyone to reuse the image for any purpose. Verbcatcher (talk) 21:29, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- The National Library of Wales owns the copyright to Kyffins entire collection, so we should be ok Jason.nlw (talk) 21:32, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- That is good news. The license on the Commons file should probably require attribution to the library as well as to Sain. Can the library release a nice image for use in the Wikipedia articles in Kyffin? Verbcatcher (talk) 22:33, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks Verbcatcher. I keep meaning to ask the Library if they will release a couple of Kyffins for use in articles. I will see what i can do. Jason.nlw (talk) 15:30, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

License for artworks in the public domain
editHey Jason, some nice paintings you uploaded. For photos of public domain paintings we use {{PD-art}}. In your case you get something like {{PD-Art|PD-old-100-1923}} (example edit). You probably want to use that for any future imports. Multichill (talk) 17:02, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
- Great, thanks for the tip. Ive changed the license template on these now and will make sure i use the same in the future. I'm also planning to improve some of the artworks we have on Wikidata with missing statements like 'Inventory Number' as soon as i get a chance. Jason.nlw (talk) 08:21, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
- Excellent. I have some improvements for the Wikidata items too. I'll leave them on your talk page over there. Multichill (talk) 09:19, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Lately I was transferring many accession numbers from Commons to Wikidata, and those file got cough by one of my checks. In cases like that I would usually try to go to source website and verify, but could not find any accession numbers there. each one of the files has a separate Wikidata item and for a given institutions each work should have unique inventory number. I suspect that in case of ids with comma, like "PD8558/1, PD8558/2" one of the items is "PD8558/1" and the other PD8558/2", but I can not explain 6 items with "PB7302" id. Can you check and possibly fix? --Jarekt (talk) 13:09, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hey Jarekt thanks for bringing this to my attention. I will try and take a closer look over the next couple of days, and get any issues sorted out. I'll be in touch soon to let you know whats what. Thanks again Jason.nlw (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Jarekt. Ive looked into this now and these Accession numbers are definitely problematic. Firstly, as you suspected, the ones with comma's are multiple copies of the same image - but they seem to have just one catalogue entry/digital record for the set. Secondly, i have no idea why other completely different images have the same number. The data was extracted from our catalog by our IT team for the upload and i didn't think to check up on these numbers thoroughly. And now it seems that our catalogue doesn't even make these numbers public any more, so it is not easy for me to check that Commons matches our records. These days the main identifiers we use for images are the Persistent Handle ID and the catalogue number (MMS ID) - both of which have Wikidata properties. So if you agree, i would like to remove the accession numbers from the data for this collection, and discuss with our archivists which ID's should be applied and how they should be used. Would that be acceptable do you think? Thanks again Jason.nlw (talk) 09:58, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- Jason That sounds good. We like for the information to be verifiable so hidden from public IDs which are not unique and no longer used are a problem. I see on Parch Thos. Phillips D. D (Q55023107) wikidata page ( a random one) that there is Handle ID (P1184) property, but the link does not work. I also see National Library of Wales Catalogue ID (P6786), although not on images. If you delete the accession numbers from images on commons than we should probably also delete them from wikidata, and remove edits like this one. --Jarekt (talk) 01:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Jason I eager to bring down the backlog in Category:Artworks with Wikidata item: quick statements with files that have some metadata on Commons which can be moved to Wikidata. Majority of the files there are files with Accession numbers from NLW. If we are going to delete those accession numbers than I can do it quickly with my bot. Any last thoughts? --Jarekt (talk) 02:41, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- HI Jarekt. Sorry for not having deleted the accession numbers yet. It is on my to do list but it may be quicker to do it with a bot - and i am happy for you to gop ahead and do that. Many thanks Jason.nlw (talk) 06:04, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Done I removed all the accession numbers from files in Category:National Library of Wales Portrait Archive. I will also remove them from Wikidata. Let me know if I missed anything. --Jarekt (talk) 13:15, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
- Jason, I am removing inventory number (P217) which I added which start with letter "P". Can you look through other inventory number (P217) to see if they still make sense, some of them have a reference with URL. Please use query below to see them. --Jarekt (talk) 15:57, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Majority of the files there are files with Accession numbers from NLW. If we are going to delete those accession numbers than I can do it quickly with my bot. Any last thoughts? --Jarekt (talk) 02:41, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
- Jason That sounds good. We like for the information to be verifiable so hidden from public IDs which are not unique and no longer used are a problem. I see on Parch Thos. Phillips D. D (Q55023107) wikidata page ( a random one) that there is Handle ID (P1184) property, but the link does not work. I also see National Library of Wales Catalogue ID (P6786), although not on images. If you delete the accession numbers from images on commons than we should probably also delete them from wikidata, and remove edits like this one. --Jarekt (talk) 01:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
SELECT ?item ?id ?image WHERE {
?item p:P217 ?statement .
?statement pq:P195 wd:Q666063 .
?statement ps:P217 ?id .
optional {?item wdt:P18 ?image } .
}
Thanks Jarekt. Ive been through the list, and all the other inventory numbers look good apart from a small collection of images which are part of Q21731178. These use the same old accession numbers, which should probably be removed. Thanks again for helping tidy things up. Jason.nlw (talk) 18:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2019!
editHi
Thank you so much for contributing to the UK section of this year's Wiki Loves Monuments contest, which finished yesterday. We really do appreciate the time and effort you've put in to record the UK's built cultural heritage for future generations.
Your contribution has been been added to our collections here on Wikimedia Commons, and is already available for editors to make use of on Wikipedia and elsewhere. It has also been entered into this year's contest. If you'd like to see your own images, just click on the uploads link at the top right of this page (if you don't see it, click on the Log in option first).
We've received over 10,000 UK entries this year, and it will take a few weeks for our volunteers and professional judges to decide on the final top 10. The winners will be announced by the end of this month, both here on Wikimedia Commons and also on the competition website.
The top 10 UK images will go forward to the international section where they will compete against winners from some 50 other countries. The international winners should be announced here in December.
Don't forget, by the way, that if you're hoping to win a prize in the contest it's essential that you have enabled email in your Wikimedia preferences. If you haven't, you're not eligible to win. If you're unsure, please check here.
Once again, many thanks for your help! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

editYour recent uploads have been amazing, I feel like I'm walking those cold streets with you! I've been trying to pick off the last unphotographed listed ones in Cardiff. It really helps though if we can add the Cadw number like this for grouping listed photos together. Do you have any stats on what percentage of listed buildings we've collectively done on Commons? Keep up the incredible work. I'll start adding the Wicipics tag from now on. Should I add it retrospectively? No Swan So Fine (talk) 12:21, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hi No Swan So Fine, Thanks! Ive been thrilled with the engagment with this project and we have had some great contributions - yourself included. Ive based the project around adding images through WikiShootMe which creates the Commons data automaticly. Unfourtunately this means the Cadw template is not added. However, once the campeign finishes at the end of the month i will be doing some batch edits to add Welsh descriptions to the items on Commons and i should be able to add the Cadw templates at the same time. I'm not sure what the percentage is, but i will try and work it out once we are finished. Whislt WLM generally get more images, i think we have probably captured a lot more indevidual buildings with Wicipics. I am currently going through your uploads over Christmas and adding the Wicipics Category. I'm also improving some of the descriptions and linking items to Wikidata in the description as this will be really useful when i come to harvesting the data (Example) - I hope thats ok, but do let me know if you have any suggestions or spot any problems. So no need to retrospectively add the Wicipics cat, but moving forward that would be great! Thanks for all your contributions! - i'm feeling the urge to blitz another couple of towns, myself before we finish! (lock-downs permitting) Best Jason.nlw (talk) 12:46, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- I've been using the old WLM site, it's useful for Wikidata as well. Abergavenny and Newport are my other hotspots! Yes many thanks for your mass edits, I've guilty of uploading then never getting round to renaming them...I've been trying to pick a format for Grade II listings in Cardiff to put on our main page, there are too many templates though to choose from. You might be amused to meet the delightful Sarah Thomas who I was introduced to while wandering around Ty Gwyn and Vaendre Hall in the dusty archives. All the best. No Swan So Fine (talk) 12:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- Great! - Love that Sarah Thomas story. The quote "indulged in the fragrant weed with the zest of a person half her years" is just brilliant! Thanks again for all the great photos of Wales you contribute, and i will defintely try and get those Cadw templates added during February. We are aproaching 1500 images so far for the project so sorting them all out is keeping me busy! Jason.nlw (talk) 14:13, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

There appears to be an error in File:Rhianva - the marine residence of Sir John Hey Williams Bart.jpeg: the 'circa 1820' looks wrong. I assume that you copied it from the NLW.
- The image shows Plas Rhianfa which was completed in 1851 (although it could be an architect's proposal).
- The architect of the building was Charles Reed (1814-1859), who took the name Charles Verelst. This name is shown in the engraving. The architect would have been six years old in 1820.
- The engraver is shown as 'Eng. by Newman & Co, 48 Watling Street, London." The British Museum gives the company's dates as 1843-1871 (active).[8]
I estimate the date as between 1851 and 1859, because Sir John Hay Williams is named in the engraving and he died in 1859 (Wikipedia). The dubious date is still shown in the NLW and in the People's Collection Wales.[9][10] Can you alert the relevant expert at the library? Thanks, Verbcatcher (talk) 23:19, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hey @Verbcatcher. Thanks for flagging this. I agree, the date doesnt look right. I will flag this with our art curator and hopefully we canb get our metadata update. Once I hear back i'll make sure the Commons data is updated too. Best Jason.nlw (talk) 17:19, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

- Hi @Prototyperspective. All Images on 'Our World in Data' are clearly licenced as CC-BY. Ive updated the Source to link directly to this image on their website to make that clearer. Thanks! Jason.nlw (talk) 08:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, please always link to a specific OWID source page where the image can be found not just ourworldindata.org Prototyperspective (talk) 09:14, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

- Ive Updated the URL for this. They have obviously moved things around. However all these images were uploaded in partnership with OWID and all content on their site is CC-BY so i really dont think these need to be nominated for deletion. If the links need updating i'm sure I can arrange some help to get that done over the coming weeks. Cheers Jason.nlw (talk) 15:28, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, I couldn't find it; updating the links would be useful. However, for probably most of the files there is now a newer version available at the source so it may be best to do this in combination with uploading a new version of the files. Prototyperspective (talk) 15:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
- No problem. I agree that periodic uploads of news graphics with new data would be good, and that is something we can look into. However I still think there is a strong case to keep exisiting images as they provide a snapshot of the data at different points in time. I'm tagging @TatjanaClimate who was involved in securing this content for Wikimedia to get her opinion too. Thanks again for your patience. Jason.nlw (talk) 16:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Your recent wedding photo uploads
editHi - I've done some Googling and I'm fairly confident that this and similar images are of St Martin's church in Shropshire (see Google street view here for comparison). It certainly isn't a church in Tywyn. I've moved the images across to the relevant category. Voice of Clam 22:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Works of Geoff Charles
editHi Jason! I'm trying to understand how photographs by Geoff Charles can be licensed as CC-By-4.0. Clearly the license didn't exist when he died and his heirs still have copyright for the photos he did create. Did his estate assign the copyright for these photographs to the National Library of Wales? Bastique ☎ let's talk! 19:18, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Bastique: They absolutely are not CC-By-4.0. If you look on the NLW site they are all marked as CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 UK, which means they cannot be used on Wikimedia Commons. It will take hours of work to tag and delete all of them. Opolito (talk) 06:07, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- I don't even think that they can be CC-BY-NC-ND frankly, given that the author only died this century. But that's irrelevant, as we can't host them in either case. Bastique ☎ let's talk! 07:04, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Opolito and Bastique: See the permission notice at Category:Photographs by Geoff Charles in the National Library of Wales.
- Obvious problem: you have to click the category to find it. It's not visible on file description pages.
- Jayson, maybe you could create a specific notice template and add a line like
|permission={{NLW Geoff Charles works permission}}to all relevant uploads? I hope this helps. 2003:E5:3731:C000:A509:FDD1:8145:EA4 13:04, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

- All of the Geoff Charles images from the NLW are licensed as CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 UK. This licence means that the images cannot be used commercially. This means they cannot be uploaded to Wikimedia. I am trying to tag all the incorrect images, but there are thousands of them. Please remove them from Wikimedia. Thanks, Opolito (talk) 05:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- As Jason works in/with the NLW, there might an individual release. However, the would need to be confirmed by OTRS. --Túrelio (talk) 10:54, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Túrelio: see note and suggestion above at #Works_of_Geoff_Charles. At the moment, 37 images by Geoff Charles are in Category:Other speedy deletions. Don't know how many were deleted already.
- @Opolito: In this case, a regular deletion request would be appropriate, instead of tagging a bunch of random files with "speedydelete". 2003:E5:3731:C000:A509:FDD1:8145:EA4 13:22, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- 2003:E5:3731:C000:A509:FDD1:8145:EA4, if you are Jason.nlw, please log-in. --Túrelio (talk) 17:21, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- I've replaced the speedy-tag of 37 these files in the speedy-queue by "OTRS pending", as per the above linked statement by the uploader. --Túrelio (talk) 17:21, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Opolito@Túrelio@Bastique Hello There. These images have been uploaded by the National Library of Wales, who are the copyright holders. The collection has previously been cleared for upload via the OTRS process. We are in thre process of changing the licence tags on our own website to match the licence used on Commons, and should hopefully be done this week, so please please don't delete the images. I could probably set up an AWB job to add the OTRS template to each image (130k) if nessasary? Thanks Jason.nlw (talk) 07:58, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
- As Jason works in/with the NLW, there might an individual release. However, the would need to be confirmed by OTRS. --Túrelio (talk) 10:54, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
