Hello. When everyone is done with Template:Departments of France, could you let me know so I can re-protect? Thank you. Wknight94 ^talk 13:29, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Xhienne!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

For the Vielles Chansons uploads. It's wonderful to see that the LoC has made high resolution versions available. Cheers, Durova (talk) 17:09, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome! Thank you too for doing the upload in the first place, this is really a valuable book. — Xavier, 17:11, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Images of Category:Burj Khalifa‎

You say an "undeletion request is pending"- on what grounds? Do you just want images restored so they can be moved to another project as non-free images? I'll do that for you... Or do you feel that the deletion was incorrect in some way? J Milburn (talk) 10:54, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, the summary is misleading. What I really meant is that since I've asked for the reopening of the discussion, I didn't want the discussion to be archived by DRbot. And since you ask, yes I feel the deletion was too quick and too broad; some of the deleted pictures obviously fall under commons:de minimis.

Thank you for your kind proposition anyway, I'm not fond of fair use but it would help others to move the images to WP. — Xavier, 20:34, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I think there is a real problem here- there are a lot of images that need to be deleted on FOP grounds, and we need to find a balance between discussion with forgone conclusions and giving people a chance to defend images that should be kept. Which ones were you referring to in particular? I would say it's unlikely that any pictures that were obviously of the building would not be permissable under de minimis- the whole idea is to protect incidental inclusion, not to allow us to get around copyright laws. (However, general skyline shots would probably be ok- I'm not sure about that...) J Milburn (talk) 21:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I've lost my admin rights due to inactivity, therefore I can not review the deleted images and tell you exactly which ones I would like to see restored. Nonetheless, I have cited a couple of them in the Undeletion Request. Skylines and broad panoramas should not have been deleted, IMO. I also remember a firework picture where BK was only seen by its shape due to a contre-jour effect (BTW fireforks are not subject to copyright). Judging by what I've read on COM:DM, a mere shape is not a copyright infringement (else, comparison diagrams should have been deleted too). Beside this, I agree that the main subject of most of the images was BK and those pictures had to go. I'm just asking that the discussion be reopened so that we can sort this out. — Xavier, 21:47, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

File:Kanga_Akalé.png

Le problème c'est que le photographe qui m'a donné l'autorisation possède d'un millier de photos, et je me vois pas lui demander de modifier ses pages une par une (même si je ne prends qu'une dizaine de photos de son site). Mais j'espère que l'ORTS prendra une décision favorable, parceque en de m'avoir répondu par mail, le photographe donne son feu vert pour lui « emprunter » des photos en page d'accueil de son site. Sur ce, bonne soirée et même bonne nuit. Hilton62 (talk) 22:44, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I missed the change in your user page :)

But it is good to see you around - regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 15:40, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much Herby. I've been some time without Internet access at home and then I have been very busy at work. I ended up stopping my contributions to WP and Commons. Now I'm back but unfortunately I'm not going to have as much time as previously. Future will tell... Cheers. — Xavier, 15:55, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Life changes - mine too :). However the quality of users is not what it was - with the exception of you and me of course ;) A bientot --Herby ^{talk thyme} 16:03, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

suivi.

Bonjour Xavier. J'ai bien reçu et appliqué votre information concernant la modification du texte "autorisation". Pour le reste je crains de n'avoir pas tout compris, mais chaque chose en son temps. Avec votre permission cela sera repris point par point le moment venu lorsque l'accord de licence sera validé. J'ai envoyé par mail ma demande il y a 10 mn. Dans cette attente. Cordialement.--Colibrix 14:09, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Photos Fabrice Lévèque

Bonjour Xhienne, j'ai en effet oublié de faire le nécessaire pour valider la licence des photos lors de ma dernière entrevue avec Fabrice Lévêque (j'avoue aussi que depuis le temps je n'y pensais plus trop), et comme celui-ci n'a pas internet, vit sur Paris et moi à Dijon, il n'est pas très facile de communiquer. Je vais lui demander de me faire parvenir une autorisation sur papier dans les prochains jours et je la scannerai pour envoi au service OTRS. Merci ! Alchemica (talk) 11:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Bonjour Alchemica. Le processus risque d'être long. Si jamais cette lenteur fait courir aux images le risque d'être effacées, n'hésitez pas à prendre contact avec un membre l'OTRS pour réclamer un répit car ce serait dommage que de si belles photos disparaissent, même temporairement, à cause de broutilles administratives. Bon week-end. — Xavier,

Thanks for your vote on my RfCU

I would like to thank you for taking the time to review my request for checkuser rights. I hope one more CU will make a difference, at least for the other CUs' workload! Regards, --Eusebius (talk) 16:30, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Attention en effaçant des catégories

Bonjour. Une catégorie en rouge, tout un comme un lien rouge sur WP, c'est souvent une catégorie à créer, pas une catégorie à retirer. Je fais allusion à ces deux edits que j'ai annulés. Par ailleurs, il est dommage d'avoir retiré les dernières images de la catégorie "Images from 2009 Venice Film Festival to check" sans leur avoir affecté de catégorie pertinente puisque c'était le but premier de cette catégorie temporaire. Ces deux personalités par exemple n'ont toujours pas de nom. Merci d'être plus précautionneux à l'avenir. Cordialement. — Xavier, 01:39, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Disons que j'avais créé cette catégorie temporairement pour charger les images depuis flickr. Je suis d'accord qu'il eut été mieux d'identifier ces personnes. Maintenant, elles ont au moins une catégorie pertinente même si cette catégorie n'est pas très précise. D'autre part, je n'ai pas la même vision que toi sur les catégories en rouge. - Zil (d) 08:21, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment créer galeries Commons

Bonjour Xavier.

Merci pour votre réponse "Téléverser un nouveau fichier". C'est en effet très simple de remplacer un fichier par un autre fichier.

J'ai une nouvelle question à vous soumettre. Ma galerie de photos Commons classe les fichiers par ordre alphabétique alors que tous ces fichiers sont issus de 4 périodes distinctes. Est-il possible de créer une galerie pour chaque période afin que la chronologie soit respectée. Ce qui serait en mieux, c'est que dans chaque galerie, les fichiers soient classés en fonction de leurs dates respectives. De la plus ancienne à la plus récente.--Colibrix 07:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Bonjour Xavier.

Merci pour votre réponse. Comme vous le suggérez, je vais m'inspirer des deux exemples que vous citez. Vous pourrez me reprendre en cas de mauvaises manipulations de ma part dans la construction de ce classement par période. De votre côté, la chronologie des œuvres ne sera peut-être pas aisée. Dans le cas ou vous débuteriez la première partie, je vous donnerais le nom et la date de chaque œuvre. Cordialement.--Colibrix 06:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Category:La Princesse

Hi, Could you explain why you keep altering the location of this category?--JIrate (talk) 17:48, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep altering? What do you mean? I only altered it once to reflect the fact that this machine is not bound to Liverpool as it was made in Nantes and travelled to Japan. Am I missing something? — Xavier, 17:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

I've created a sub cat La Princess in Liverpool. Someone has been going around putting things in the Liverpool root cat when they are already in a sub cat. I though that is what you where doing, as I said I have created a sub cat. My apologies.--JIrate (talk) 18:17, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I was wondering if this spider became a permenent show in Liverpool after it travelled. — Xavier, 18:23, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

GrandValira

Hi! I must tell you that the real name of GrandValira has a capital V, not a small one, you shouldn't have made that change in the category!! Kadellar (talk) 15:10, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Kadellar. Sorry if I made a mistake but my action was logically motivated by 1. guidelines here in Commons specify that the name of the category must (in general, there can be exception) follow the name used on Wikipedia and 2. none of the sites from the first page of Google results spells it GrandValira but Grandvalira, including http://grandvalira.com/ (page title) and http://grandvalira.andorramania.com/ (page content). So what are your sources supporting such a spelling? — Xavier, 19:55, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Pateras-Pescara

Why don't you make an ordinare deletion request for the uploads by CPPC? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 05:37, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Because I don't want those images to be deleted? What I want is that CPPC confirms to the OTRS that he is indeed Christian Pateras-Pescara de Castelluccio in real life, as this user claims to be, and that that those images (which can be found elsewhere on the Internet with a copyright) can be used as freely as this user claims. That's all. It is a pity that your behavior pushed Bapti to eventually ask for their deletion. :-( — Xavier, 22:56, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

These images would have been deleted if I had not intervened. They were among the oldest in category:Media missing permission (March 21). Also: no license does not apply - licenses had been given. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:10, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Even if those file would eventually have been deleted, I don't see the point in shortening their presence here by starting a DR. As for the "no license banner", did you really read it? It says "This file is missing evidence of permission. It has an author and source, but there is no proof that the author of the image agreed to license the file under the given license" which applies exactly to the situation. — Xavier, 23:29, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

You do not seem to understand: Category:Media missing permission as of 21 March 2010 is going to be cleaned out very, very soon. Make a DR instead for cases like these. Preferably a mass DR. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 23:54, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

You may be right then. I'll try to reach the uploader by private mail so that he provides us the required permission. This could have been an (peaceful) option in the first place instead of firing a DR or edit-warring on those files. I'm afraid those DR will be a loss of time for everyone. — Xavier, 00:00, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

When you and Bapti insisted and reinstated the tags that I had removed, DR's were the only possibility. Or I would have been warned for edit warring. Otherwise they would have been deleted without discussion. As you can see in the responses, other editors here have no doubt that uploader has the rights to release these images. Posting no-license tags in a case like this is not very informative for a new contributor. A DR allows to explain what the problem is. And yes, contacting directly is the preferred way to get clarification. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 05:49, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Images de CPPC/Pistons-libres

Bonjour Bapti. J'ai tenté de joindre M. Pateras-Pescara par mail privé (via Wikipedia, car pas trouvé d'email sur http://www.pateras-pescara.net/). Je me suis permis de lui conseiller de te contacter, en tant que membre francophone de l'OTRS, pour régler ce problème de permission. J'espère que ça ne te pose pas de problème. — Xavier, 00:27, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Bonjour,

C'est noté. Mais cette personne avait déjà pris contact avec OTRS, mais n'avait pas donné suite à nos demandes de précisions.--Bapti ✉ 09:32, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Restauration de photos

Bonjour Xavier,

Tout d'abord merci beaucoup pour votre message ! En ce qui concerne les photos supprimées, inutile de les restaurer, mais c'est gentil de me le proposer. En effet j'ai retouché la plupart d'entre elles depuis leur première publication sur Commons, donc de toute façon il me faudrait importer de nouvelles versions de chacune. Bien cordialement,

File:La légende de la mort chez les Bretons vol 1 1902.djvu

Uploaded with a wrong name. Part of a set of 2 files. Second file has a correct name. Correct name File:Le Braz - La légende de la mort chez les Bretons vol 1 1902.djvu --Wuyouyuan (talk) 13:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello Wuyouyuan. No need to ask for the deletion in such a trivial case. The proper way to deal with this kind of mistakes is to upload the same file with the proper file name, and ask for the quick deletion of the former with {{Bad name}}. Can you do it?

Français :

Bonjour Wuyouyuan. Ce n'est pas la bonne façon de faire effacer un fichier que vous avez chargé sous un mauvais nom. La bonne façon consiste à charger une nouvelle fois le fichier avec le nom correct, puis de demander avec {{Bad name}} à ce que le premier fichier soit effacé. Vous pouvez faire cela ? — Xavier, 20:11, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

J'aimerais bien, et j'ai essayé. Mais la machine me répond, après avoir chargé le (gros) fichier "Ce fichier est un doublon de ..." et ne veut rien faire d'autre. C'est après cet échec que j'ai essayé de faire supprimer le premier fichier. --Wuyouyuan (talk) 04:23, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

C'est fait, remerciements. Maintenant que je connais le truc, j'espère que je ne le réutiliserai plus. Ca me donne l'occasion de contempler le Template:Watermark. C'est un gag récurrent avec les fichier issus de Google. Sur Wikisource, un administrateur très observant m'a écrit que les pages d'entête devaient être enlevée parce que le graphisme Google est sous droit d'auteur. Un autre soutient qu'elles doivent être maintenues parce que Google en fait une condition de l'usage légal de son travail (le texte de l'auteur mort depuis 70 ans est dans le domaine public, pas l'assemblage d'images fait par Google). En attendant que tout le monde soit d'accord, je ne toucherai à rien. --Wuyouyuan (talk) 00:01, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
