Прошу Вас разобраться

Уважаемый McZusatz, я создала страницу моего отца в Википедии. http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Быструшкин,_Бронислав_Дмитриевич Проиллюстрировала её фотографиями его творческих работ (фотографировала и сканировала сама), и фотографиями из семейного альбома (сканировала сама). Но фото были дважды удалены. 29 декабря 2012 года я отослала письмо на [email protected], с просьбой разрешить мне публиковать фото папиных творческих работ и фото из семейного альбома под лицензией Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0. Сегодня я исправила страницу. Загрузила изображения под лицензией Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0, но изображение bistrushkin.jpg Вы стёрли... Будьте так любезны, поясните мне, пожалуйста, в чём моя ошибка. Почему файл из моего личного архива я не могу поместить в Википедию?

File:Bistrushkin.jpg was successfully confirmed by OTRS. --McZusatz (talk) 21:23, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Re:Große Dateien hochladen

Hallo McZusatz,
erstens, vielen Dank für Deine Fragen; und zweitens, ich möchte mich bei Dir entschuldigen für beantworten auf Englisch, aber meine Deutchkentnisse verschlechtert sich von Tag zu Tag und es ist viel einfacher für mich, in dieser Sprache zu schreiben.

So, getting back to English :-) I believe that you can upload files up to around 150 MiB with the UploadWizard without getting any problems—at least I haven't been able to upload files bigger than that for a while now—but for files bigger than those, especially as big as 1 GiB or more, you need to request help from a Wikimedia developer with shell access, and they can do a server-side upload for you.

I have been requesting uploads of such big files for more than a year now; the only things you need to do is to: (1) upload the file onto a publicly available server (if it's not accessible on-line already, that is), (2) create a .txt file with the desired file description, (3) fill a bug on Bugzilla, categorising it as Wikimedia, General/Unknown and (4) assign it either to Roan Kattouw or Sam Reedy — they are both very helpful with such requests.

Also, here are some past bugs for you to have a look at as examples: 32236, 32793, 34771; I hope that helps. Thanks, odder (talk) 22:00, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Danke für die flotte Antwort. --McZusatz (talk) 23:34, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Mimar Sinan

If someone would not rename all of my Turkish images, this wouldn't happen. - Darwinek (talk) 20:27, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

This had nothing to do with the rename. Do you still have a copy of the image? It would be great if you uploaded this file again. Sorry for the inconvenience. --McZusatz (talk) 10:47, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I have it, but on an external disk. I will have access to it over this weekend, so I will re-upload the image. What caused the loss of the file? - Darwinek (talk) 14:10, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
It was some clumsy code snippet which cause the loss. It was fixed already in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/30750/ . --McZusatz (talk) 14:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Asphaltfräse

upload fertig. --McZusatz (talk) 21:03, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Ich habe jetzt den Film (ca. 660 MB) und eine Textdatei (mit information template und Lizenz) bei dropbox platziert (kannte ich noch nicht). Der Link zum Film ist: [1], der link für die templatedatei ist [2]. Du wolltest jetzt den Rest bei Commons für mich erledigen. Und falls es klappt mir danach die e-mail-Adresse und das Verfahren mitteilen, damit ich esnächstes mal eine Schaffe. Du hast echt Ausdauer, das gibt mir Kraft durchzuhalten. (Commons bietet doch tatsächlich keine fertigen Tilden für die Signatur an. Komisch!) Bin im Garten (talk)

Ich glaube es gehen mindestens 2 GB, aber TMH hat Probleme solch große Dateien in kleinere webm und ogg derivate zu wandeln. Also so bis ~800MB sollten idR ok sein. Ich schreibe gerade eine Anleitung für dich auf deutsch. Lass mich einfach wissen, wann der neue Link erreichbar ist. --McZusatz (talk) 23:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Der Link für den Film ist jetzt da (oben). Wofür steht TMH? Ich brauche eine feste Grenze, an die ich mich halten kann. 800 MB wäre schon traumhaft (soll ja kein Spielfilm werden). Ich habe noch Material aus deinem Dentallabor, einer Müllsortieranlage, Straßenbahnen in Sofia und dann habe ich verschiedene Straßen in Sofia aus dem Taxi abgefilmt. --Bin im Garten (talk) 08:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
mw:TimedMediaHandler erstellt die kleineren Vorschauversionen und bei richtig großen Dateien (größer ~1GB) schlägt das manchmal fehl. Wie gesagt, falls du irgendwann einmal eine 2GB Datei hast, kannst du die trotzdem hochladen, aber ich würde Dateien bis ~800MB empfehlen, um die Performance zu erhalten. (Ich melde mich übrigens sofort bei dir, falls der Upload auf den Server fertig ist). --McZusatz (talk) 14:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Super! --Bin im Garten (talk) 16:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Das Video findest du oben als thumb. Auf Help:Serverseitiger Upload kannst du nachlesen, wie du das selber anfordern kannst. Falls auf der Hilfeseite noch Rechtschreibfehler oder Unklarheiten sind, bitte benachrichtige mich oder besser selber aus. Viel Spass damit. --McZusatz (talk) 21:14, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Vielen Dank! Na, dann lege ich mal los. --Bin im Garten (talk) 20:35, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Fragen

  • 1: Nächse Frage: Auf Commons werden immer mal wieder reihenweise Bilder wegen fehlender Panoramafreiheit gelöscht (z.B. Category:SS. Cyril and Methodius National Library oder Bilder aus Moskau oder Washington - [3], oder de:Mini-Europa - dort hat man mir vor 5 Jahren 200 Bilder wegen fehlender Panoramafreiheit in Belgien gelöscht). Zu unterscheiden ist sicherlich auch zwischen Gebäuden und Denkmälern (letztere werden sicherlich auch in der de:WP nicht genommen). Diese gelöschten Bilder sollten auf die de:WP gerettet werden. Wegen des Schutzlandprinzips (de:Wikipedia:Bildrechte#Schutzlandprinzip) werden diese Bilder in der de:WP problemlos genommen. So haben wenigsten deutsche Wikipediaartikel ein Bild (und sind über andere Sprachversionen zur Ansicht zu finden), auch wenn sie Commons (sowieso) nicht mehr hat. Ich vermisse einen organisierten Prozess für diese Bilderrettungen. Ich wünsche mir eine Liste oder Spezialseite, auf der ich regelmäßig zur Löschung vorgeschlagene Bilder aus Bulgarien und Russland überprüfen kann - speziell wegen fehlender Panoramafreiheit (die Überwachung aller zur Löschung vorgeschlagenen Bilder überfordert wahrscheinlich meine Kräfte).
  • 2. UND: Gibt es eigentlich eine Möglichkeit mir die gelöschten Bilder der Kategorie Bulgarien aus den letzten 6 Monaten zwecks Rettungsaktion wieder herstellen zu lassen (oder irgendwo auf meinen Webspace überspielen zu lassen), so wie ich gelösche Artikel in der de:WP auf Antrag wiederherstellen lassen kann?
  • 3. UND wenn wir schon mal bei meiner Wunschliste sind: Sicherlich nicht nur ich (sondern auch andere) haben Bilder deren Schutzrechte in absehbarer Zeit (2-20 Jahren) ablaufen werden. Bilder von alten Briefmarken, Fotos aus alten Büchern und so, die die 70-Jahres-Grenze noch nicht erreicht haben (dazu lebt der Mensch zu kurz). Diese Bilder würde ich gerne in ein gesperrtes Archiv hochladen. Dann können sie nach Ablauf der Schutzfrist online gestellt werden. Bis dahin kann man nur die Bildbeschreibung und Bilddaten einsehen (das sollte eigentlich noch nicht gegen irgendein Copyright verstoßen - schließlich werden die Bilder noch nicht öffentlich zugänglich gemacht). So ein gesperrter Archivbereich fehlt mir in Commons, denn auf meinem PC hält sich so was nicht über mehrere Jahre. Gruß --Bin im Garten (talk) 16:13, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Die Fragen sind jetzt nicht direkt mein Spezialgebiet, aber ich versuche trotzdem Antworten zu geben.
(Unterschrift nachgereicht). --McZusatz (talk) 20:46, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Super Antworten. Ich musste nur erst mal darauf kommen die richtigen Fragen zu stellen. Ich wusste gar nicht, was es auf Commons alles gibt. Wo macht Wikipedia und Commons richtig Spaß. --Bin im Garten (talk) 20:37, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

This file now has a flickr source and an author. Maybe the npd tag can be removed by someone like you if you wish. It has a trademark tag on it, however, but the ticket's design may not be too complicated to copyright.

Re: File:1. Villa Imperiale Pesaro.jpg

Hi, McZusatz. This user has lifted multiple files from a variety of different websites and falsely claimed them all as her own work. In at least two cases, she took the trouble removed the on-image credits and copyright notices that would have identified the files as copyright violations. In the case of File:1. Villa Imperiale Pesaro.jpg, the file has been take without from here without acknowledging the source and was, like the others, falsely claimed as "own work". To my mind, this satisfies the test of "significant doubt about the freedom of a particular file," meaning that it should be deleted in accordance with the precautionary principle. Regards, Rrburke (talk) 21:39, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Re-uploading

Hi!


If you want upload new version, DO NOT overwrite current ones, please! http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Iznad_Lovišta1121200.ogv


My uploaded videos were 480P , but you converted them into 360P!!Quahadi Añtó 13:21, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey,
I only converted the mp4 container into an ogv one. I did not change the resolution. Your video was [41 s, 480 × 360 (2,86 MB)] and mine is [41 s, 480 × 360 (8,34 MB)]. Nevertheless it would be great if you uploaded the 360p video also in 480p. Thanks. --McZusatz (talk) 13:32, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


I originally converted videos to mp4 and later simply changed extention into ".ogv". commons did accept them as such , so I thought, why not?? I had some problems with converting videos into ogv (image was too grainy! :( by miro converter) xmediarecode sometimes simply did not work ( :( ). Anyway, what is problem with mp4 as "non-free" format?Quahadi Añtó 09:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

I am unable to play the mp4 in my browser (firefox, opera and chrome). I am only able to play the server generated WebM and OGG files. If you have firefox, you could try to convert your videos with Help:CV#Firefogg. (In this case you won't have to encode to mp4 first.) --McZusatz (talk) 11:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

I have firefox and chrome and mp4 works in both cases. I don't know what is the problem??Quahadi Añtó 11:54, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

So you are able to play http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Na_barinama1061142.ogv directly in your browser? --McZusatz (talk) 12:05, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Strange, on that way-NO. It says that file is damaged/corrupt! however, if I go to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Na_barinama1061142.ogv it works quite OK.ˇQuahadi Añtó 12:09, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

That's because you chose the "WebM 480P" option. (The wiki server provides a webm and ogg transcoded version of the video file) --McZusatz (talk) 12:13, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Libertad

Your file Libertad.JPG is unusable in the English wikipedia as it clashes with other local files of the same name. Since Libertad.JPG and Libertad_2.jpg seem to be part of the same photoshoot sequence it does make sense to rename the image to "Libertad_1.jpg" (note the lowercase "jpg" too) Windroff (talk) 22:11, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

✓ Done. --McZusatz (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

McZusatz: Please note that this is not a valid reason for renaming files here at Commons. Rather then changing the file for hundreds of wikis, it should be fixed at English Wikipedia. --  Docu  at 03:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I am aware of this. Nevertheless one can say reason #6 applied in this case to harmonize File:Libertad 1.jpg with File:Libertad 2.jpg (There is no doubt they are from the same set of images). --McZusatz (talk) 10:23, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 0000 [UTC].
  2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Delivered by Orbot1 (talk) at 09:53, 19 January 2013 (UTC) - you are receiving this message because you voted last year

So ganz glücklich bin ich mit einer Festlegung auf Firefox zur Videocodierung auch nicht; es wird viele User geben, die nicht deshalb extra den gewohnten Browser aufgeben wollen. Und dann wären da ja auch noch einige hübsche Bugs z.B. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36587, die zumindest zur Zeit größere Uploads erschweren/verhindern.

Danke für den Hinweis. Die anderen WebM files mit Audio im Hintergrund, die ich in Category:Video repair needed einsortiert habe, sind wahrscheinlich auch betroffen. Ich versuche das heute Abend zu richten. --McZusatz (talk) 12:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Freut mich, dass du das richtig verstanden hast, genauso war das auch gemeint. Ich denke mal bei Musik in der Audiospur sollte man immer von Rechten Dritter ausgehen, anderenfalls sollte die "freie" Quelle auch belegbar sein. Die Audiospur bekommst du mit ffmpeg ohne Neukodierung einfach weg: ~ffmpeg.exe -i ~quelle.webm -c:v copy -an ziel_ohne_audio.webm (oder in Batchdatei unter Windows für mehrfachen Gebrauch:~ffmpeg.exe -i %1 -c:v copy -an %1_ohne_audio.webm) .

Jau, das ist die ältere Syntax, die sollte auch noch funktionieren. Es kommt wohl drauf an, was für ein Build man benutzt, da sind ja die verschiedensten im Umlauf. Übrigens, wenn es beim Ton mit aac->vorbis Probleme gibt, hilft meist eine aac->wav->vorbis Wandlung. Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 00:25, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Girls Beware

You are welcome! Thank you for the changes!

What program do you use to convert it to Webm? Should I just upload it as a Webm?

There is another one with a HighRes MPEG4 and that is Strange Ones http://archive.org/details/strange_ones (Current file at File:StrangeOnesFullRez.ogv) WhisperToMe (talk) 16:37, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

My personal opinion is that WebM is superior to OGV. The VP8 codec of WebM seems to be more capable than Theora. I used com:firefogg to convert to WebM (please select "1080p 6Mbit connection") for conversion. And also please use the MPEG2 source. It seems this is the original and the MP4 is just a scaled down version of the MPEG2. --McZusatz (talk) 16:47, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks! For the videos does it seem like all are MPEG2 originals? WhisperToMe (talk) 18:55, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
They say so: "If this is the case, download the original MPEG-2 to solve the problem." ( http://archive.org/about/faqs.php#Movies ) --McZusatz (talk) 19:07, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
I see. When I saw the "high res" I thought that the MPG4 was the highest quality version, but it seems like that's not the case. WhisperToMe (talk) 22:31, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

This user's uploads

Dear Admin McZusatz,

This user uploaded only a few images to Commons and the latest image is not free. But I noticed a strange thing. The other images he/she uploaded which have metadata all name different cameras. Are the images OK? I will have to sign off now as its 1:48 AM in Canada but just look at the image uploads and consider if it is 'own work' If it is not OK in your opinion, then feel free to launch a DR. I accept your opinion either way of course. I see the uploader's talkpage history is not great but I don't want to prejudge this person. Goodnight, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I nominated two for deletion. The other could be nominated as well per COM:PCP. --McZusatz (talk) 17:26, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

User Kategorie für Bot?

Da du dich ja auch so ein wenig besser auszukennen scheinst mit allem hier (zumindest besser wie ich) und ich nicht wieder das Risiko eingehen möchte das in der großen Runde die Diskussion daneben läuft frage ich dich mal direkt. Wie du ja viellecht weißt bin ich gerade dabei einen Bot zu schreiben der fehlende Thumbnails detektiert und ggf. später versuch die Ursache zu beheben (z.B. Konvertierung großer progressive JPGs). Aktuell läuft der Bot, ohne irgendeine Schreib-Aktion, täglich und sucht nach fehlenden Thumbnails in den letzten Uploads. Das klappt auch relativ gut, täglich werden ein paar gefunden. Da ich aber feststellen mußte das oftmals Thumbnails fehlen ohne das es einen sofort ersichtlichen Grund gibt bzw. auch einige False-Positive (sprich er meint das File hätte kein Thumbnail obwohl es eins hat) würde ich gern die aktuell gefundenen mutmaßlichen Files ohne Thumbnails erstmal in eine Kategorie packen wollen. Das würde mir es erleichtern eine Übersicht zu erhalten welche "Arten" von fehlenden Thumbnails es möglicherweise gibt. Erstmal im Schwerrpunkt für mich selbst, evt. falls nötig später als Mittel für ein humanoides Review bzw. weitere Analyse des Problems (iE. kaputter Upload/progressive JPG/zu großes PNG/...). Nun frage ich mich ob ich entweder eine (versteckte) Benutzerkategorie dafür anlegen sollte (so etwa wie "Category:Possibly broken thumbnails detected by Bot <USERNAME>" ) oder eine "öffentliche"? Wobei mir aber scheint solche Benutzerkategorien sind nicht erlaubt (weil ich sammel darin ja versch. Files verschiedener Nutzer) und andererseits würde ich aber ungern eine öffentliche nehmen, weil es eben aktuell mehr ein Test ist. Was würdest du mir raten? --Slick (talk) 10:17, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Ich sehe zwei Möglichkeiten:
  • Eine Kategorie als Unterkategorie von der bereits vorhandenen Category:Images without thumbnails mit dem Namen den du oben vorgeschlagen hast. hiddencat solltest du dann aktivieren. Und nur weil der Benutzername des Bots eventuell vorkommt, heisst das noch nicht, dass es eine Benutzerkategorie ist.
  • Eine Gallery in deiner Sandbox. (Bietet sich vor allem an, wenn du keine Änderungen an den betroffenen Dateien machen willst.)
Persönlich würde ich die erste Möglichkeit bevorzugen, aber lass mich wissen wie du vorgehst. Ich würde dann auch ab und zu mal einen Blick auf die betroffenen Dateien werfen. --McZusatz (talk) 16:00, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
OK, ich würde dann auch Variante 1 bevorzugen und werde das so machen. Bin mir allerdings nicht sicher ob ich das dieses WE noch schaffe, ansonsten wirds frühestens in einer Woche. Bin derzeit zeitlich etwas gebunden. Ich sag dir dann hier nochmal kurz Bescheid wenn ichs soweit habe. --Slick (talk) 15:20, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Ok, Category:Possibly_files_without_thumbnails_detected_by_bot ist jetzt "scharf" und die nächsten Tage sollte sich da vermutlich was tun. --Slick (talk) 17:08, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

This uploader's images

This uploader uploads copy vios but he was warned (on his talkpage) to stop uploading copyright violations and still does so. It seems that it is not useful to tag all his images if he continues to do this without any sanctions sadly. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 04:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

  •  Comment: Thank you for taking some action. I know that Commons doesn't have Wikipedia's Newbie rules but when an uploader is warned Not to upload copyright violations....and still does so, than he/she just doesn't care about other people's copyright unfortunately. So, some kind of sanction should be enforced. I thought a 2 week block could be OK but it looks like this uploader will come back after that time and continue doing what he/she is doing so perhaps an indefinite ban was warranted. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 18:54, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
COM:BP says that punitive blocks are not endorsed. Also keep in mind that the uploader can still edit his talk page and request an unblock any time. --McZusatz (talk) 19:47, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment: It is good that COM:BP says that 'blocking is designed to be a preventative measure and not a punitive one.' I did not know this. I knew an uploader could request an unblock any time but he/she should give a very good reason to be unblocked since this happens very rarely. But there was this massive Copy Vio case where Admin INeverCry was forced to blacklist a flickr account and ban the uploader. (I made some comments in the DR) I had to ask this Admin to do something to stop this massive copyvio. The uploader just stole images left, right and centre from an ARR German website and placed it on his own flickr account and licensed them freely. So, sometimes, one has no choice but to Act because there is no choice--as you know. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 08:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Playing new version of video in full resolution shows old version

Hi McZusatz,

in IRC I was pointed to you regarding the problem in topic. I had uploaded a video but since it was partly really dark I enhanced these parts and uploaded the enhanced video as new version of that file. The problem now is: when the video is played in original resolution the old and dark version is shown: screenshot. Any ideas? -- malenki (talk) 21:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

File:A-Single-Molecule-Investigation-of-the-Photostability-of-Quantum-Dots-pone.0044355.s004.ogv

Hallo McZusatz, dazu kurz 2 technische Anmerkungen, nur als Tipp gemeint. 1) Höhe und Breite von WebM und OGV-Videos sollten möglichst immer glatt durch 4 teilbar sein (=Mod 4). 2) Mit extremen Source-Frameraten scheint die commons-eigene Erzeugung von Formatvarianten überfordert zu sein; de facto sind Raten oberhalb der Monitorfrequenz auch nicht besonders sinnig... Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 16:09, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Danke für den Tipp. Gewusst habe ich das schon, aber dran gedacht wohl eher nicht. Dieses "avisynth" scheint ja recht hilfreich zu sein, aber für Linux gibt es das soweit ich weiß nicht. --McZusatz (talk) 19:27, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
jau, avisynth ist für solche Sachen gut zu gebrauchen, läuft nativ aber nur unter Windows. Wie weit die Portierung nach Linux aktuell fortgeschritten ist, kann ich (als Windows User) nicht sagen. Alternativ gibt es noch vapoursynth basierend auf Python, ist aber auch noch eher alpha.. Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 21:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Category:Videos without thumbnails

Ich habe gesehen du hast Category:Videos without thumbnails angelegt und ein paar Dateien einsortiert. Ich finde eine solche Kategorie durchaus sinnvoll, allerdings finde ich den Namen unpassend. Denn allein am Datei-Namen bzw. Extension kann man nicht zwangsläufig festmachen ob es eine Video- oder Audio-Datei ist (am Mimetype übrigens auch nicht). In der Kategorie liegen IMHO jetzt auch bereits Audiofiles wie File:Water frog croak.ogg. Von daher wäre ein Name wie "Multimedia files without thumbnails" o.ä. sinnvoller. Allerdings würde "Multimedia" rein vom Begriff thereotisch auch Bilder mit einschließen. Von daher weiß ich auch nicht so recht wie man es nennen sollte. Aber "Video ..." paßt IMHO definitiv nicht. Vielleicht fällt dir noch was besseres ein. --Slick (talk) 19:02, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Aber Audio sollte doch gar kein Thumb haben? (Den Frosch habe ich mir gerade mal angesehen. Ich weiß zwar nicht, ob das Audio zum Video passt, aber gewiss war beides in der Datei drin). Ich würde das so lassen, wie jetzt... --McZusatz (talk) 19:24, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Hmm.... so gesehen hast du Recht. Da habe ich mich wohl vom passenden Dateinamen, dazu die Endung ogg, täuschen lassen. *grummel* --Slick (talk) 19:37, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

"Talent Access" files

Hi there. I'm the uploader of the File:Ronnie_Scribner_1981 and File:Georg_Olden_1982.jpg images. I just wanted to drop a note to let you know that the photographer of these two images has contacted me to let me know that they've uploaded two more images to their Flickr account: http://www.flickr.com/photos/talent_access/

Before I transfer the two new images to Commons, I wanted to contact you to ask if you think it would be all right if I went ahead and transferred them, or if you think it would be best if I waited until the nomination/discussion has been closed on the first two images? Most of the Commons images I've nominated for deletion in the past have been images with pretty obvious problems, so I'm not sure how I should proceed in this case and/or how long I should expect the nominations will last before the discussion is closed (I told him probably a week, but that I didn't really know). There's no rush for me to have the discussion closed, but I just told him I thought it would be best if I checked with you first before I began transferring any additional images of his here.

On a related subject, I've also not added the first two images to any Wikipedia articles yet, thinking it would be best to wait until I'd addressed any questions about them. I noticed you'd verified the two images as being licensed on Flickr, so do you think they're clear for use on Wikipedia now? Or, again, do you think it would be best to wait? --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 05:36, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Go ahead and upload them. I closed the DR as it is very unlikely a copyvio. --McZusatz (talk) 12:44, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Sorry to nag you about the noms. He contacted me yesterday letting me know that he had a couple more up, so I just wanted to check with you first to see if I should advise him to set them to "private" on Flickr until the discussion was closed. I'd usually never transfer such obviously "professional" shots of celebs without seeing more evidence of a photographer's work on Flickr, but I've known this individual for a long time and I've seen a lot of his work (including dozens of unpublished "alternates" from these very same sessions), so I'm 100% positive he's the original photographer/copyright holder. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 13:20, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

File:Georg Olden 1982.jpg & File:Ronnie Scribner 1981.jpg

As an experienced Admin, please consider marking these 2 images. I don't know the source flickr account except that it was just created just recently and has only these 2 photos on its photostream. The flickr source link gives more information about the photos and the uploader seems OK...but I still think an Admin should mark these 2 images rather than me. I cannot be sure that its not a flickrwash when the account has only 2 images.

Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

I nominated them for deletion because the upload on commons and flickr only differs about three hours. As you said the other information available does not indicate obvious flickwash. --McZusatz (talk) 08:59, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

xcf files

Hello, you tagged a number of my xcf files to let me know about the bug with this file type, and I would like to replace them with pngs. Is there a way to upload the pngs to the same filename? When I try to do this I get an error that a very similar filename exists. Thanks.

--Jfhutson (talk) 21:21, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

I think your images are not affected by the bug. However flattening the XCF-image should always produce correct output. There would be no need to upload a seperate PNG version. Also you will not be able to upload a PNG version on top of a XCF-file. You would have to upload the PNG to a new file. --McZusatz (talk) 15:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

This DR

If you have any information on this DR which I initially filed, please feel free to make a comment in the DR. I just thought that it violated US FOP laws. Licensed reviewer Stefan4 thinks so too but other contributors say No. I have made a comment that perhaps De Minimis does not apply but perhaps guidance from an experienced Admin is helpful? I have no strong views on the image but if I am in the wrong, so be it. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:47, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

I do not think there is wrong and right in this case. --McZusatz (talk) 07:44, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

    Commons:Deletion requests/File:Ranitidine.png

    I have replaced its uses on wikibooks. The filepage still says it is in use in two pages on de-labs.wikimedia.org, but when I went to replace them there, "Firefox can't find the server at de-labs.wikimedia.org." Is that a test server that no longer exists, or at least whose use isn't a blocker for (renomination for) deletion? DMacks (talk) 08:07, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

    Template:Convert to PNG

    Hi McZusatz. Was hat es mit deinem Feldzug gegen diese Vorlage auf sich? Bei File:Gesondert zu entsorgende Lampen.jpg habe ich dich schon mal revertiert. Diese Grafik kann ins PNG-Format konvertiert werden, so dass bei Thumbnails keine JPG-Kompressionsartefakte auftreten. Siehe dazu auch Template talk:Convert to PNG. --Leyo 14:06, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

    Ich denke {{BadJPEG}} ist in diesem Fall besser, da dadurch auch die Möglichkeit einer SVG Version erwähnt wird. Und die ist dann sowohl PNG, als auch JPEG überlegen. --McZusatz (talk) 14:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Du hast das Entscheidende verpasst. Diese Grafik kann (und sollte) direkt ins PNG-Format konvertiert werden, da in der Volldarstellung keine (oder ggf. minimste) Kompressionsartefakte zu sehen sind. Das geht viel schneller als ein Neuzeichnen. --Leyo 14:13, 2 February 2013 (UTC) PS. Hier oder hier (JPG-Kompressionsartefakte auch bei voller Auflösung) waren deine Änderungen sinnvoll. Screenshots sollen kaum als SVG hochgeladen werden. Und das machte weder vorher noch nachher Sinn…
    (Bk)Ok, ich habe mich durch die Archive gekämpft. Das mit dem Bot scheint mir recht sinnvoll. Es müsste aber eine Möglichkeit geben solche Dateien getrennt für den Bot zu markieren. Dieser kann dann folgende Schritte durchführen:
    • Eine neue PNG Datei hochladen (und den Beschreibungstext einfach kopieren, denn der hat in meine Augen keine Schöpfungshöhe)
    • Ursprüngliche Markierung bei der JPEG Datei entfernen und neue Markierung (speedy?, superseded?, duplicate?) hinzufügen.
    • Nutzung ersetzten (über CommonsDelinker anweisen die Dateien zu ersetzen?)
    • Manuell: Ursprüngliche Datei löschen, weiterleiten oder mit superseded belassen. (Abhängig vom zweiten Schritt)
    --McZusatz (talk) 14:44, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Ein Parameter wie bei de:Vorlage:In PNG konvertieren wäre wohl sinnvoll.
    Das schwierigste dürfte sein, einen Bot Operator zu finden, der das seinem Bot beibringen mag. Dabei ist die Knacknuss wohl die Konvertierung. Der Rest ist bestimmt relativ einfach umzusetzen. --Leyo 15:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Ich könnte Slick fragen. Und nebenbei: Was ist mit den ganzen statischen .gif Dateien, die in der Kategorie sind? Diese könnten doch alle in PNG umgewandelt werden und evtl. mit {{Svg}} getagged? --McZusatz (talk) 15:20, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Ja, warum nicht? Da gab's übrigens schon mal eine Diskussion dazu.
    Bei einigen GIFs (eigentlich gute Qualität, Neuzeichnen aufwendig) würde sich bestimmt eine automatische Konvertierung ins PNG-Format lohnen, bei andern (geringe Qualität, klein) nicht. --Leyo 16:15, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Warum bei kleinen Gifs nicht? Ich hätte kein Problem alle Gifs auf commons nach PNG zu konvertieren. (Nicht nur das Dateiformat ist besser, sondern auch die Thumnails; Teilweise wird auf Gif-thumbnails gar nichts dargestellt, da augrund der 256bit nicht genügend Farben zur verfügung stehen, um hohe Frequenzen bzw. Antialiasing darzustellen) --McZusatz (talk) 16:20, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Mit klein meinte ich kleiner als die Thumbnail-Grösse, also normalerweise die Originalgrösse angezeigt wird. Aber da habe ich keine klare Präferenz… --Leyo 16:32, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Slick wäre einverstanden. Dann müsste noch das Template um den zusätzlichen Parameter erweitert werden, der die Dateien in eine Untercat sortiert und eine allgemeines Verfahren diskutiert werden. Denn bei konvertierten JPEG Bildern sollte man COM:MAXTHUMB beachten und auch einen review Prozess einrichten, der sicherstellt, dass die neuen PNG Dateien mit Ihren Thumbnails auch wirklich besser sind, um sie in allen Artikeln auszutauschen. --McZusatz (talk) 22:27, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Was wäre ein guter Name für den Parameter für {{Convert to PNG}}? „bot“ oder „conversion“ vielleicht?
    Kann die Auflösung ausgelesen werden? Von der Vorlage wohl nicht, vom Bot via API wohl schon.
    Ich stelle mir vor, dass die konvertierten JPGs vom Bot mittels {{Duplicate|converted to PNG by bot}} oder ähnlich getaggt werden. Diese Bilder kommen in eine separate Kategorie, wo sie auf ein menschliches Review warten. --Leyo 10:23, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    • Ja, die Vorlage kann ich schon ändern, aber warten wir mal noch auf allfällige Kommentare.
    • {{Compressed version}} passt IMHO nicht so gut. Dort geht's ja um eine JPG-Version eines ursprünglichen PNG-Bildes.
    • Die Duplicate-Vorlage könnte auch geändert werden, wenn man es so macht. Da wäre wohl eine Ankündigung auf der Vorlagendiskussionsseite angebracht.
    --Leyo 14:13, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    Tja, bleibt die Frage wo der beste Ort ist um Konsens zu finden. Ich denke auf Templatediskussionen schaut niemand vorbei. --McZusatz (talk) 17:00, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    Diese Seite hat zwar nur 10 Beobachter, aber man könnte ja dann im Forum und Village Pump darauf verweisen. --Leyo 17:12, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    Ok, klingt gut. --McZusatz (talk) 17:13, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    • Interessante Diskussion hier wie ich gerade entdeckt habe ;) ... also die Größe des Bildes zu ermitteln ist kein Problem, spätestens beim Konvertieren ist die Größe bekannt. Das Duplicate-Template anpassen? Hmm.. tricky finde ich den Umstand das der Bot den Delinker eigentlich erst antriggern bzw. speedy etc. einfügen kann, wenn die Konvertierung als erfolgreich geprüft wurde. Demzufolge kann der Bot sofort nicht den Delinker/Löschprozess antriggern. Das Bild müßte erst manuell den Review Prozess passieren, sonst wäre nach schlechter Konvertierung im worst case das Original schon weg. Besser finde ich da die Idee mit mehreren Kategorien zu arbeiten ... zuerst wird nach der Konvertierung in eine Kat. einsortiert die manuell geprüft wird. Mit erfolgreicher Prüfung wird ein Bild in eine Subkat. o.ä. einsortiert die der Bot ebenfalls prüft und dann die Arbeit abschliesst. Also dann Delinker triggern und Original zum Löschen markieren. Falls es möglich ist mit einem Template - je nach einer zu setzenden Variable/Wert darin - in verschiedene Kategorien einzusortieren, bräuchte man dafür nur ein Template. Inhalt wäre dann "Bild muss geprüft werden... Geprüft: Y|N" Aber k.A. ob das gehen würde. Zumal weiß ich nicht ob sich der Aufwand lohnt. Aktuell sehe ich da nichtmal 3000 Bilder, da dauert das Script schreiben länger als der gesamte Konvertierungsprozess. @McZusatz .. wie du siehst, manchmal lern ich schnell ;) --Slick (talk) 18:47, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
    So, endlich bin ich dazu gekommen, den Vorschlag der Allgemeinheit zu unterbreiten: Template talk:Convert to PNG#2013
    McZusatz und Slick, bitte prüft, ob ihr mit dem vorgeschlagenen Verfahren einverstanden seid bzw. ob ich die Diskussion korrekt wiedergegeben habe. --Leyo 23:52, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
    Danke. Ich habe noch eine Änderung vorgenommen, denn Artefakte gibt es bei jpg immer. Ich habe das in deinem Text geändert, falls du willst kannst du das zurücksetzen. --McZusatz (talk) 00:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
    Danke! --Leyo 00:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

    Dann ist wohl ein Antrag unter Commons:Bots/Requests notwendig, oder? --Leyo 15:05, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

    Aus meiner Sicht nicht, da ich mich bereits bereit erklärt habe das zu bot technisch zu unterfüttern. Allerdings würde ich nochmal etwas genauer technische Ablauf des Bot durchsprechen wollen, bevor ich da anfange Scripte zu schreiben. Also welche Arbeitsschritte genau soll der Bot ausführen? Soweit ichs verstanden habe:
    • 1) Kategorie lesen und für jede gefundene Datei (oder gibt es nur bestimmte Quellen wie GIF/JPEG) diese herunterladen
    • 2) heruntergeladene Datei in PNG umwandeln (Was soll mit Transparenz passieren? Existiert schon Beispielcode für die Konvertierung? Was soll passieren wenn das PNG COM:MAXTHUMB überschreitet?)
    • 3) Originaltext der Seite holen (Irgendwas in Originaltext ersetzen?)
    • 4) Datei unter möglichst gleichem Dateinamen, nur Endung PNG, wieder hochladen (Was soll passieren wenn dieser Name schon belegt ist? Nummer o.ä. anhängen?)
    • 5) Beim hochladen das Template {{Duplicate|converted to PNG by bot}} beim PNG einfügen? Sonst nochwas?
    • 6) Nachdem bis hierhin alles erfolgreich, Originaldatei aus Kategorie entfernen und Link zu neuem PNG einfügen (Wie mit welchem Template?)

    Bitte eine Beispieldatei erstellen (Qeuelle und PNG nachher mit entsprechenden Templates in beiden Dateien) --Slick (talk) 19:39, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

    1. Ja, eigentlich nur GIF/JPEG. Anderes würde keinen Sinn ergeben.
    2. Bei GIFs darf die Transparenz dableiben. Ich habe beim Beispiel genommen: $ convert OMSYMBOL.jpg OMSYMBOL.png (The convert program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools.)
    3. Ja, das "Convert to pNG"-template sollte natürlich entfernt werden: "Bot-Testlauf"
    4. Ja.
    5. Nein, nicht beim PNG, sondern beim source file: Siehe "Testlauf"
    6. siehe punkt davor.
    Oder? --McZusatz (talk) 22:33, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
    Frage 2) Nr.3 ist noch unklar. Weil ich es hier sah, muss ich nochmal nachhaken: Alle Dateien in Category:Images which should be in PNG format sollen umgewandelt werden oder nur solche (aus der Kategorie) in denen explizit die Umwandlung per Bot mit {{Convert to PNG|Bot}} gesetzt ist? --Slick (talk) 06:43, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
    Zu Frage 2) Nr. 3: Ich schlage vor das dann dennoch hochzuladen (auch wenn es absehbar kein Thumbnail gibt). Denn ich bastel andererseits gerade an einem Bot der u.a. für PNGs ohne Thumbnail eine JPG-Vorschau Version erzeugt und passend verlinkt. Ist dann zwar doppel-moppel, aber nur so ist der Ablauf sauber und soviele soltens nicht sein. --Slick (talk) 06:52, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
    Hm, entweder könnten COM:MAXTHUMB-Fälle ausgelassen werden oder es könnte über die Version in Originalgrösse eine runterskalierte Version drübergeladen werden. Wichtig sind für Artikel ja die Thumbnails. --Leyo 23:06, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
    Ich mach mich dann mal so langsam an die Entwicklung. Geht aber nicht von heute auf morgen, aktuell bin ich recht gut ausgelastet. So als ganz grobes Zeitfenster sage ich mal bis Ende März könnte es machbar sein. --Slick (talk) 16:44, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
    Ok, geht klar. Meld dich, falls es Fragen gibt. --McZusatz (talk) 12:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
    Gut, aber eilen tut's natürlich nicht. --Leyo 12:26, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
    Da inzwischen auch schon fast der April ohne ein vorzeigbares Ergebnis meinerseits vorbei ist, möchte ich mir nur kurz hier nochmal rückmelden und mitteilen das die Umsetzung nicht vergessen ist. Aufgrund aktuellem Zeitmangels ist nur momentan immer der falsche Zeitpunkt das endlich in Ruhe angehen zu können. Es steht aber immernoch definitiv auf meiner ToDo-Liste. Also wenns wirklich nicht eilt, einfach abwarten. --Slick (talk) 06:24, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
    Kein Problem. Ich bin selber recht gut beschäftigt. Lass dir ruhig Zeit. --McZusatz (talk) 08:41, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

    File:That Boutique-y Whisky Company - Aberfeldy Batch 1.jpg

    Hi,

    All of these images are publicly available on Master of Malt's (trading name of Atom Supplies LTD, owner of the copyright) flikr account ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/95051914@N02/sets/72157633276887378/). I have also had the sales director of Master of Malt send an email to [email protected] confirming all of the above.

    Hope that suffices.

    Thanks for your help, Tom --80.195.191.42 15:13, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

    Thank you for the link. We did not have this link and therefore had to assume they were copyrightviolations. However the licence on flickr is not sufficient enough because it does not permit commercial use. [CC-BY-NC-SA-2.0] There are two possibilities for you right now:
    • Do nothing: The mail sent to OTRS from the author includes the permission to use those files commercially. (e.g. [CC-BY-SA-3.0]). Therefore the images will become undeleted and applied with the correct licence.
    • Request the author to change the licence on flickr to one which allows commercial use (e.g. CC-BY-SA-3.0). This also allows us to restore the files in question. --McZusatz (talk) 19:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

    Gesondert zu entsorgende Lampen.jpg

    File:Gesondert zu entsorgende Lampen.jpg wurde von Benutzer RLicht, der sich als Lightcycle ausgibt, hochgeladen und unter eine CC Lizenz gestellt. Übersehe ich etwas, oder ist dafür ein OTRS Ticket fällig? Falls das so ist, werde ich einfach mal das Kontaktformular auf der Website ausfüllen und anfragen. -- Rillke(q?) 16:59, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

    http://lightcycle.de/presse/infografiken.html :
    Die Verwendung ist bei Nennung der Quelle Lightcycle "Sauberes Licht, sauber recycelt." kostenfrei.
    Von cc-by-sa steht dort nichts, also lieber mal anfragen. --McZusatz (talk) 17:07, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
    Bin mal auf die Antwort gespannt. -- Rillke(q?) 11:55, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
    Mir wurde zwar bestätigt, dass die Dateien unter einer freien Lizenz verwendet werden könnten; dem OTRS Team aber offenbar nicht :-( -- Rillke(q?) 11:21, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
    Kannst du das E-Mail nicht weiterleiten. Mir ist bewusst, dass es nicht optimal ist, sollte aber in deinem Fall OK sein. --Leyo 12:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
    Hier ist ein Zitat aus der Antwort (welche auch dem Supportteam vorliegen sollte; mindestens als Zitat):

    Ich verstehe Ihre letzte Mail leider nicht. Unter Ihrer letzten Mail ist doch unsere Antwort vom 5.2., in der wir der Verwendung unseres Pressematerials unter eine freien Lizenz zustimmen. Was genau fehlt denn noch?

    Da die E-Mail vom 5.2. aber gar keine Lizenz nennt, sondern nur allgemein von einer Weiterverwendung spricht (zwar in Bezugnahme auf die bereits hochgeladenen Dateien), habe ich sie gebeten, dem Supportteam noch einmal explizit die Lizenz zu bestätigen. Da kam aber offenbar nichts mehr an. -- Rillke(q?) 13:30, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
    Das hört sich nach CC-BY an. {{Cc-by-3.0-de}}?
    Hattest du denn ein paar Lizenzen zur Auswahl vorgeschlagen? --Leyo 14:30, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
    Ist der wachsende otrs-backlog denn schon abgebaut? --McZusatz (talk) 14:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
    @Leyo, ich habe ihnen die komplette E-Mailvorlage mit Creative Commons Namensnennung-Weitergabe unter gleichen Bedingungen 3.0 Deutschland, als Lizenz eingesetzt, als Antwort auf ihre vage Zusage geschickt (05.02.2013 19:38). Darauf sind sie aber nicht eingegangen. -- Rillke(q?) 15:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
    @McZusatz: Der OTRS-Mitarbeiter hat sich extra noch einmal bei mir nachgefragt. Ich denke von Februar sind keine unerkannten Nachrichten mehr in der Warteschlange. -- Rillke(q?) 15:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
    Jetzt stellt sich für mich natürlich die Frage, ob der Upload auf Wikimedia Commons und die oben zitierte Aussage in diesem Fall nicht schon ausreichend sind, eine Freigabe zu erteilen. Unter anderem ist klar, dass keine dritte Person die Bilder von der Website genommen hat und diese als eigenes Werk ausgegeben hat. --McZusatz (talk) 07:13, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
    Ich hatte bereits darauf reagiert. Sonst wäre die Grafik bestimmt bereits gelöscht worden. Soll noch Template:LicenseReview ergänzt werden? --Leyo 08:56, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
    BY-SA in Attibution ändern? Ich bezweifle; denn das kann nur der Urheber. Ich würde vorschlagen: Die Bilder wiederherstellen; Die ursprüngliche Lizenz wiederherstellen und ein Link auf das ORTS-Ticket setzen. --McZusatz (talk) 11:26, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

    Image

    Dear McZusatz:) I noticed there was no action taken after this image was tagged and nominated for deletion: Deletion requests/File:Saakashvili Latsabidze Giorgi.JPG I think it would be appropriate now to keep this image since the nominator has no provided other sources. Also, this image wa taken by me on May 23rd, 2012. I would appreciate your consideration. Best Sausa11 (talk) 22:45, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

    P.S. Also, this image: File:Giorgi Latsabidze perfoming in Pennsylvania (Opera House).jpg would be the next one to be saved. Thanks so much! Sausa11 (talk) 22:55, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

    Please explain this

    Hi! I noticed you removed my copyvio template yet Commons:Screenshots#Microsoft_products pretty clearly states it's off limits. Palosirkka (talk) 09:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

    This was not the problem in my eyes. Therefore I nominated the page for deletion and kept your copyvio statement as reason. Jim left a comment on the DR stating that "[he] do[es]n't think it is a copyvio problem". I finally decided to speedy delete the image per all claims stated in the DR. --McZusatz (talk) 11:51, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
    But why do you think that was not the problem? (Who's Jim? Did Jim have any arguments as to why?) To me this seems fairly clear cut. Palosirkka (talk) 12:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
    Sry, I forgot to link to the DR...
    In some cases where copyrightable items/buttons are not part of the main focus of the picture they can be considered as com:DM. In this case the main focus was the computer screen with the wikipedia page on it. Therefore the surrounding windows UI could be understood as de minimis. --McZusatz (talk) 12:45, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

    Are you willing to subtitle File:US President Barack Obama, surveillance activities, June 2013.ogv ? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 22:39, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

    I could do that but first I need the official transcript. My English is not good enough to create my own transcript and also I do not have the time to do so. --McZusatz (talk) 08:16, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

    I have written subtitle files before by using transcripts, but it meant manually watching the video and getting the seconds of each count. Is there a faster way of doing it? I do have a YouTube account. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:50, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
    Sorry for responing this late. I was busy with other stuff. However there is a video on YouTube showing how to create a SRT-file (The file used by mediawiki) out of a video and a transcript: Generate CC - YouTube --McZusatz (talk) 06:52, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

    JS bearbeiten

    Hi McZusatz, wenn Du JavaScript bearbeitet willst (und nicht in die Syntax-Fehler-Falle tappen möchtest), füge doch einfach die folgenden Zeilen zu deiner Common.js hinzu. 

    // Add a JS validator to promote correct syntax
if (/\.js(?:\/. )?$/.test(mw.config.get('wgPageName')) && ($.inArray( mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber'), [ 8, 2 ]) > -1)) {
 importScript('MediaWiki:JSValidator.js');
}

    Beschreibugn, was es macht auf Help:JavaScript validation.

    Der CSS-validator-link ist auch ganz nützlich: 

    // Add a CSS validator to promote correct syntax
if (mw.config.get( 'wgTitle' ).match(/\.css$/i) && ($.inArray( mw.config.get( 'wgNamespaceNumber' ), [ 2 , 8 ]) > -1)) {
 importScript('MediaWiki:Gadget-CSSValidate.js');
}

    Sobald ich das Problem mit der Lizenz geklärt habe, werde ich es auch als gadget bereitstellen. LG Rillke(q?) 17:44, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

    Ich denke schon, das ist alles Originalton; irgendwo im Hintergrund lief da halt ein Lied, was dann ungewollt mitaufgezeichnet wurde. In D würde sowas jedenfalls leicht zu Problemen führen (s. z.B. http://forum.slashcam.de/zufallig-aufgenommene-musik-nicht-durch-gema-abgedeckt-vt59933.html); aber ich bin kein Jurist und kenne mich mit den entsprechenden Regelungen in Tschechien nicht aus. Conclusio: wegen mir soll´s halt so bleiben. Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 20:56, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

    Tech News: 2013-34

    Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

    New features

    • The previous version of MediaWiki (1.22/wmf13) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on August 15. It was enabled on non-Wikipedia sites on August 19, and on all Wikipedias on August 22. [120]
    • The latest version of MediaWiki (1.22/wmf14) was added to test wikis and MediaWiki.org on August 22. It will be enabled on non-Wikipedia sites on August 26, and on all Wikipedias on August 29. [121]
    • You can now use new styles of galleries. Please give feedback to User:Bawolff. [122]
    • You can now visit a random page in a category, for example Special:RandomInCategory/Science. (25931) [123]
    • You can now use the <wbr> HTML5 tag to say where a word can be cut. (52468) [124]
    • Gadget authors: you can now use the wikipage.content hook, so that your scripts are re-run when a page is changed after the document-ready event (for example using Ajax). (30713) [125]

    Problems fixed

    • There was a bug where file redirects didn't work when a file was renamed; it is now fixed. There is still an issue with purging, but it should be fixed soon. (52200)
    • Maintenance reports provided by special pages will now all be updated on each wiki every six months. This will for example give you recent information on uncategorized pages, unused templates and most wanted pages (see details).
    • There was a bug that caused false positives for anti-blanking edit filters; it is now fixed. (52077) [126]

    VisualEditor news

    • The "edit" and "edit source" tabs and section edit links can now be changed more easily; for example, some wikis are using "edit source" for wikitext editing, and "edit beta" for VisualEditor. You can ask for the same change in bugzilla.
    • You can now edit references that are added inside a <references> block. (51741)
    • You can now test on mediawiki.org new basic tools to add and edit struck text (with the button for the <s> tag), lower text ( for <sub>), upper text ( for <sup>), underlined text ( for <u>), computer code ( for <code> and <tt>), math text ( for <math>), Egyptian hieroglyphs ( for <hiero>), and to say that text is in another language ( for lang="ar" dir="rtl"). (51609, 51612, 51611, 51590, 51610, 52352)
    • You can now use VisualEditor with the Opera browser. [127]

    Future

    • Starting on August 26, you will be able to use data from Wikidata on Wikivoyage sites. [128]
    • Starting on August 27, you will also get notifications on the mobile site if you're logged in to a wiki using notifications. [129]
    • Starting on August 28, all users with an account will be using HTTPS to access Wikimedia sites. HTTPS brings better security and improves your privacy. Some countries (like China) will not use HTTPS. If HTTPS causes problems for you, tell us on meta. [130]
    • Starting on August 29, you will get the code editor interface to edit JavaScript and CSS pages on all wikis. [131]
    • The plan to use Solr for search in MediaWiki was changed; instead, Elasticsearch is now planned. [132]

    Hi, thanks for your message. The flickr bot could not find the source file on flickr and therefore tagged the file with the maintenance template. If the image is already on Commons and you link to the source file, it is ok to remove the {{Flickreview}} template. --McZusatz (talk) 16:33, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
    OK, I didn't think I could remove the template as the one who uploaded the picture, I thought an administrator or other independent user has to do it. Thanks. Cheers, --Danapit (talk) 17:36, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

    What's the trick?

    I noticed that you put a more copyright info needed tag on User:KLOTZ's talk page. I went to check the file history and it seems that you are the only one to have edited it. KLOTZ knows how to upload files, perhaps on a purely mechanical basis. I'd guess if there is something wrong here, it's something you did and forgot about. Please just tell me what you need exactly, and I'll make sure KLOTZ fixes it. Smallbones (talk) 03:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

    Due to a server bug the description was not saved. Therefore the file is "empty" and does not include a license. Please tell him to put a valid license template on the file page. File:CHAMBERLIN HOTEL.jpg --McZusatz (talk) 17:39, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
    I'll see what I can do. User:KLOTZ is a very valuable member of the community, but a little behind the times technology wise. I'll send him an e-mail to explain it. If all else fails, I may put a PD-self license on for him, if he expresses that wish, which I expect that he will. BTW, sorry if the above note was a bit testy. Smallbones (talk) 00:31, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
    I think it is ok if he just copy pastes {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} anywhere in the description. --McZusatz (talk) 15:13, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

    a request

    There is something I do, and that a few other people who download lots of images from flickr do, that I am going to ask you to consider doing too.

    TIFF is going on, and I went to flickr to see whether new free images from TIFF were ready to upload. I found some, but after going to all the work of uploading them to the commons I found they had already been uploaded -- by you.

    Since November 2009 I leave a note on every image I have uploaded (1) thanking the flickr uploader for choosing a CC license that allows re-use, and (2) giving the URL to the commons description page.

    Almost all flickr uploaders appreciate being told their work is appreciated. We aren't obliged to tell them. But there are some good reasons for doing so, other than showing appreciation.

    The main reason I started to leave these notes? I had been uploading images for years, and found I was no longer recognizing images and trying to upload the same image a second time. A note prevented me from trying to upload the same image twice.

    Another good reason to thank people is that a few people seem to resent having their images re-used, even though they put a CC license on them. One guy went ballistic. It turned out that well over one hundred of his images had been uploaded to the commons -- but no one had ever thanked him before. When I thanked him he decided to check found out how many of his images were being re-used. He accused us of theft. He said our "theft" had ruined his enjoyment of his hobby of the last 40 years. He seemed to have a full-scale nervous breakdown. Well, what would have happened if the very first commons contributor who uploaded one of his image had thanked him? He may never have resented it, if he got used to the idea before he had 100 uploads. Alternately, if he really didn't want his images re-used, after all, he could have changed his licensing then, long before he had the nervous breakdown.

    So, my request of you -- please consider leaving a thank you on the description page of image you uploaded. The one I use says:

    This image was uploaded here -- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charlotte_Sullivan_03_(9680605637)_(2).jpg
    Thanks for using a CC liscense that allows re-use!

    Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

    I guess I need a yahoo account in order to do this? Is there a way to do this automatically? Also (in this particular case) I was in direct contact with the photographer. He is aware of the re-use and appreciates it. --McZusatz (talk) 17:43, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
    • Yes, you are correct, you would have to have a flickr or yahoo userid.
    I am glad the original photographer knows about your uploads. But, that doesn't provide a heads-up to individuals like me, who come across the image, and waste a couple of minutes when we try to upload it.
    Ideally, the tools that helped upload flickr images would check to see if an image had already been uploaded -- but, until then, spending 20 seconds leaving a note would sure be appreciated.
    As to whether the upload tools could automatically leave a thank you -- I suggested this a year or two ago. Many people felt that a note left automatically, by an automated tool, would (1) violate flickr's terms and conditions; (2) would be regarded as spam by some flickr contributors. Technically I believe it would be possible. Personally I still think it is a good idea. Geo Swan (talk) 04:41, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

    Audacity ist zum Schneiden und Nachbearbeiten und Speichern ja sehr schön aber für das Teleprompting, Untertitel, ... braucht man dann doch wieder etwas anderes. -- Rillke(q?) 16:59, 13 September 2013 (UTC)

    Request

    Hi McZusatz , User:Vahram Mekhitarian uploads pictures with falsifying data, he puts templates that it's his own work or public domain, thus hiding the copyright. In previous times when some of his pictures were nominated for deletion, he removed templates and admins didnt pay attention to it.. He again and again remove the template, I do not know what to do, please warn him.--Δαβίδ (talk) 15:01, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

    Please keep in mind to use the appropriate link to delete files. Otherwise the DR request will be removed due to missing information.

    --McZusatz (talk) 15:36, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

    I have a another question too. Is it normal to add texts in category as it done here or not. I have removed that text but another user reverted my edits. I think that text must be deleted, because its only original research. There is articles in some wikis about that symbol, but some of them are already nominated for deletion and original researches are removed from that articles.--Δαβίδ (talk) 15:37, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

    Thus much text is not suitable for a category description. I removed most of it. See the history page for details. --McZusatz (talk) 19:24, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

    Änderung der gesperrten Seite Template:LargePNG/limit

    Hallo McZusatz,
    könntest du die Zahl Template:LargePNG/limit auf 140 ändern, da laut Commons:MAXTHUMB das Limit für die Erstellung von Vorschaubildern von PNG-Dateien inzwischen auf 140 MPx angewachsen ist?
    Vielen Dank, --Bürgerentscheid (talk) 11:56, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

    Hallo Rillke, du hast den Quelltext von Template:Archival version leider so geändert, dass das Thumblimit im deutschen Text von Template:LargePNG, Template:LargeGIF und Template:LargeTIF jetzt gar nicht mehr angezeigt wird. Gruß --Bürgerentscheid (talk) 17:36, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
    • LargeGIF: [140]: "zu erstellen, wenn diese größer als 50 Megapixel ist. Bearbeitungen sollten"
    • LargeTIF: [141]: "Vorschaubilder von einer TIF-Datei zu erstellen, wenn diese größer als 50 Megapixel ist"
    PNGs scheint es keine mehr mit dem Baustein zu geben. Was habe ich also falsch gemacht? -- Rillke(q?) 18:09, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
    Seltsamerweise erscheint die Zahl 50 tatsächlich auf den Seiten mit eingebundener Vorlage, aber auf der Vorlagenseite selbst nicht mehr. Noch seltsamer ist allerdings der Text "{{#ifeq:nothumb|nothumb", der jetzt links neben dem eigentlichen Vorlagentext an der Stelle des Bildes erscheint. Früher begann der Text linksbündig, wenn kein Vorschaubild angegeben war!? Gruß --Bürgerentscheid (talk) 18:38, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

    Jupp, diesen Fehler habe gerade behoben. Ich habe ein Paar schließende Klammern, die zuviel in der Layout-Vorlage waren, an der falschen Stelle entfernt. Nun steht auch wieder der erwartete Text da, nur ohne Zahl, da der Dateityp auf der Vorlagenseite nicht bekannt ist und jetzt offenbar unterschiedliche Limits gelten und Module:File jetzt entscheidet, welche Zahl zurückgegeben wird. -- Rillke(q?) 19:08, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

But that's not right to keep doing same thing again and again and explain each time to every new user to this that it is previously restored and previously verified and previously discussed.

    Deletion of Leroux - L'Epouse_du_Soleil.djvu

    Hello, it seems you deleted the following file. This was a carefully extract of the pdf you redirect in order to transcribe the novel in wikisource. Now the proofreading of the book is just garbage and there will be quite difficult to redo the whole job starting from your pdf file.

    Is there any chance this be restored back ?

    I think the same story goes with Le Fauteuil hanté.Toto256 (talk) 19:29, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

    Hi, I saw that the file was in use and therefore decided to keep the file besides the fact that is is broken. Usually I file a DR if I am unable to fix it but another admin deleted the file already.
    I am not sure how wikisource handels the proofreading so there are two options:
    1. I could restore the file and you could try to fix it or create a new djvu version out of the PDF
    2. You could change the proofreading to match the PDF file, if this is feasible.
    --McZusatz (talk) 19:54, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
    File restored by Dereckson and fixed by me. Toto256 for some unknown reason the file format you used is no longer recognized as djvu by the server. If there is other files in this case we should open a bug on bugzilla and ask why these files was recognized as djvu but are now broken. Phe (talk) 21:51, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

    • In the next days, servers in San Francisco will start providing (cached) content to users located in Oceania. If you are in that area and notice problems, please tell us. [152]
    • You will soon be able to test new features easily using the "Beta Features" view. VisualEditor will be in the list on sites where it works and isn't automatically enabled. Another example is a set of changes in the article text style.

    Tech News: 2013-44

    Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

    New features

    • The style and colors for warning boxes, error messages, and success messages in all skins of MediaWiki has been changed. [153]

    VisualEditor news

    • You will soon be able to switch from editing in VisualEditor to editing wikitext directly without having to save the page. You can't yet switch from wikitext to VisualEditor but developers hope to make it possible in the future. [154]

    Problems

    • There was a problem on October 31 during the activation of MediaWiki 1.22wmf2 on test wikis. mediawiki.org was also broken, and if you had problems logging in, it was probably because of this as well.

    Future

    • Because of the problem with MediaWiki 1.22wmf2, the calendar has changed. It will be added to mediawiki.org and non-Wikipedia sites on November 4, and all Wikipedia sites on November 7.

    JavaScript / Gadget developers

    • Due to a recent change, gadgets and user scripts that use jQuery UI should explicitly load the appropriate modules, as they may not be loaded by default. [155]
    • Developers have started to remove long-deprecated methods. You should check the JavaScript console (in debug=true mode) and look for deprecation warnings and their stack trace. [156]

    User:0xFFFFFFF

    Hallo McZusatz,
    bei der Durchsicht der TIFF-Dateien ohne Vorschau sind mir diese beiden aufgefallen:

    Beide Bilder sind größer als 10 TPx und werden in keinem Wiki verwendet. Der Uploader ist Benutzer in en:wp und hat dort auch nichts beigetragen, aber diese Seiten in seinem Benutzernamensraum:

    Mir scheint, der einzige Zweck der Bilder besteht darin, MediaWiki zu einem Stack overflow zu bringen. Sollte man die Dateien löschen und den Benutzer sperren?
    Gruß --Bürgerentscheid (talk) 14:36, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

    Stack overflow wird wohl eher nicht passieren. Aber danke für den Tipp, denn Test-Uploads sind out of com:scope und werden spätestens nach ein paar Monaten gelöscht. Eine Sperrung ist aktuell nicht notwendig und die Bilder habe ich gelöscht. --McZusatz (talk) 15:35, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
    Vielen Dank. --Bürgerentscheid (talk) 15:47, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

    GIFs ohne Thumbnail

    Was machen wir mit den GIFs in Category:Possibly files without thumbnails detected by bot? Ich habe keine Idee, aber langfristig werden die die Kategorie unübersichtlich machen. --Slick (talk) 14:41, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

    Siehe deine talk: Solange der Bug noch offen ist kann man wohl nur warten. Sich mit irgendwas rumzuschlagen ergibt hier keinen Sinn. Ich verschiebe dann einfach alle in Category:Animated gifs exceeding the 12.5MP limit. Die Categroy ist ohnehin schon nicht mehr konsistent in Bezug auf das MP-limit. --McZusatz (talk) 12:07, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

    Could you check the deletion rationale for this file? The deletion request in the log message seems to be unrelated to the file. --Stefan4 (talk) 13:19, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

    Thanks for the notification. The error sounds weired and I don't know how this could happen. Hopefully the other DRs I closed today are not affected. --McZusatz (talk) 13:28, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

    Renamed

    (File renamed: File:Flag of Golyshmanovsky rayon (Tyumen oblast).gif → File:Flag of Golyshmanovsky rayon (Tyumen oblast) small.gif) Why add to filename «small»? Permjak (talk) 21:19, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

    There is already an File:Flag of Golyshmanovsky rayon (Tyumen oblast).png with different content. File names should differ on more than only 3 chars. Furthermore I am converting gif files to png files as the png format is superior in many aspects and also the thumbnails look nicer. Thus I moved the file to avoid any collision. --McZusatz (talk) 21:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
    If unknown year, put «previous», but not «small». But better in general not to touch in such events. Permjak (talk) 21:52, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

    Tech News: 2013-45

    Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

    New features

    • You can now use the "Autonym" font of the Universal Language Selector (ULS) to display the name of languages (for example in navigation templates) in their correct script. To do this, add the CSS class "autonym" to the elements that include language names. Note that this font only works for the name of languages, not for any other text. [158]

    Problems

    • There was a problem with Parsoid (the program used by VisualEditor to convert wikitext to annotated HTML) on November 4, between 19:40 and 20:40 (UTC). Encoding issues caused non-ASCII characters (including those with diacritics, like "é") to be broken when converted to wikitext and saved to the page. [159]

    Future

    • The Beta Features tool is now available on Commons and Meta-Wiki. With it, you can test new features before they're added for everyone. The plan is to add this tool to all wikis on November 21. [160]
    • MediaWiki 1.23wmf3 was added to test wikis on November 7. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on November 12 and all Wikipedia wikis on November 14 (calendar). [161]
    • The MassMessage tool will be added to all wikis on November 14. It will make it simpler to send messages across wikis. [162]
    • The button of the Search page will soon be changed to be blue and bigger (see the difference). [163]
    • You will soon be able to add a page name as parameter for {{REVISIONID}}, {{REVISIONUSER}} and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} and similar functions, by writing for example {{REVISIONID:Apple}}. [164]
    • In the future, when you hide a CentralNotice banner on a wiki, it will also be hidden on other Wikimedia sites. [165]

    Fehler auf der Commons-Hauptseite

    Hi McZusatz, auf der Hauptseite ist heute ein Tippfehler: bei der Beschreibung zur Multimediadatei des Tages steht "diving" statt "driving". Das müsste auf File:Forrest Highway southbound from Pinjarra Road.ogv in der Bildbeschreibung geändert werden. Die Datei ist aber momentan für Normalsterbliche gesperrt. Vielleicht könntst du das weiterleiten oder veranlassen. Gruß --Bin im Garten (talk) 13:22, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

    Problems

    • There was a problem caused by too many requests to the database on November 14. [166]

    Future

    • MediaWiki 1.23wmf4 was added to test wikis on November 14. It will arrive to non-Wikipedia wikis on November 19 and all Wikipedia wikis on November 21 (calendar).
    • The new Search tool (CirrusSearch) will be added to *.wikimedia.org, Wikimania and Wikisource wikis on November 19, and Wiktionary wikis on November 21 (except where it's already available). Once it is added, you can test it by adding &srbackend=CirrusSearch to the address of the search results page. It will become the main search engine on Wikivoyage wikis on November 21. [167]
    • The MassMessage tool will be added to all wikis on November 19 instead of November 14. It will make it simpler to send messages across wikis. [168]

    New features

    • The Beta Features announced before are now available on all Wikimedia wikis. You can test new features easily by changing your Beta preferences. VisualEditor is one of those features on sites where it works and isn't automatically enabled. There is also a new media viewer and changes in the article text style. [169]
    • Tools developers can now create tools that use the OAuth protocol to connect to accounts on Wikimedia sites. As a user, you can use those tools to make edits and other changes with your account without giving the tool your password. [170]

    Problems

    Future

    • There will be no major code changes on the week of November 25 because many developers will be on holiday for Thanksgiving.
    • The editing interface of Page: pages on Wikisource (working with the Proofread Page extension) will soon also work without JavaScript. [171]

    Thumbnail detection bot

    Wie hier schonmal andiskutiert würde ich den Thumbnail detection bot umbauen bzw. wieder in Betrieb nehmen wollen. Ich frage mich nur gerade was die logisch sinnvollste Darstellung der gefundenen Bilder wäre. Sie alle in einer Gallery auf einer Seite zu listen würde die Seite womöglich schnell zum überlaufen bringen. Je Tag eine Seite anlegen und diese später archivieren lassen erzeugt meiner Meinung nach auf Dauer zuviele sinnfreie Seiten. Alternative wäre eine Gallerie der gefundenen Bilder ohne Thumbnail der sagen wir mal letzten 10 Tage und alles was drüber hinaus geht wird wieder aus der Gallerie gelöscht. Birgt allerdings auch die Gefahr wenn keiner das innerhalb von 10 Tagen prüft fallen die Bilder wieder "unten raus" und bei Gallerien ist immer das generelle Problem das man nicht erkennt ob sich jemand bereits um das Bild "kümmerte" oder nicht. D.h. jeder Mitprüfer müßte thereotisch alle Bilder durchsehen um festzustellen ob es schon passend umkategoriert wurde. Hast du evt. andere/bessere Ideen? Alternativ wäre wieder eine versteckte Kategorie, aber so benannt das sie nicht gleich für Verwirrung sorgt. Sorgen machen mir hier auch die vielen falsch detektierten die sich aufgrund von mutmaßlichen Serverproblemen häuften. --Slick (talk) 12:10, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

    user:dispenser aktualisiert unter .../cache_thumbs_errors.log regelmäßig eine Liste, die (wahrscheinlich) alle Dateien ohne Thumb listet. Angemerkt sei aber auch, dass man alte Dateien nicht als "bearbeitet" markieren kann. --McZusatz (talk) 12:15, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
    Hmm, was soll mir das sagen? Der Bot wird nicht mehr gebraucht? Falls doch, hilft mir das gerade bei meiner Überlegung (s.o.) nicht weiter. --Slick (talk) 12:20, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
    Ja, ich denke diese Liste ist recht vollständig und beinhaltet nur wenige falsche Treffer. Deshalb wird ein Bot, der die Aufgabe noch einmal parallel ausführt in meinen Augen nicht gebraucht. --McZusatz (talk) 12:30, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

    Tech News: 2013-49

    Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please inform other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

    This newsletter is now posted using MediaWiki message delivery.

    New features

    • The CommonsMetadata feature was added to all wikis. It creates metadata information about multimedia files (like their license) that can be read automatically by computer programs. It not only works for Commons, but for all wikis, and you can use it for files on your wiki by editing templates used to describe metadata. [172]
    • JavaScript code used on Wikimedia sites is now saved locally on your computer to load faster. [173]

    VisualEditor

    • You can now paste formatted content copied from external sources (not just as plain text) into VisualEditor; this includes copy/pasting from other VisualEditor windows. [174]
    • You can now open VisualEditor by adding ?veaction=edit to the page URL, regardless of your user preferences. [175]
    • Many bugs have been fixed, and VisualEditor should also look faster, for example when you save a page. [176]

    Problems

    • Due to issues, the new search tool ("CirrusSearch") was recently removed from wikis where it was enabled, then added again. [177]

    Ubuntu Screenshot

    Hallo McZusatz,

    danke für den Hinweis und die Anpassung des Screenshots. Ich bin lieber auf Nummer sicher gegangen, damit es nicht heißt "Von einer Webseite runtergeladen". Aber wenn es so OK ist, werde ich das beherzigen. Der Skin selber ist nicht verändert worden. Ich habe Ubuntu geupgradet und es vorher so gestellt, wie es bei der Neuinstallation aussah. Es war ja nur oben die Uhr, die ich mit Wochentag, Datum und Sekunden umgeschaltet habe. --Funkruf (talk) 09:20, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

    Ubuntu ist GPL und das hast du richtig eingetragen. Einen Screenshot kann man unter der Voraussetzung auch von einer Website herunterladen, da das anordnen der Fenster keine Schöpfungshöhe darstellt. Generell empfehle ich für solche Screenshots: Kleine Auflösungen, damit man in den Thumbnails etwas erkennt und ein frisches System, beispielsweise ein Live-System oder ein neu installiertes. --McZusatz (talk) 10:11, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

    File source for file:Katica Kjulavkova dlanki 1. JPG.jpg

    Hi McZusatz, I don't understant where is my mistake. I indicated in the "source" that the picture comes from. The instruction says: "If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it". It is exactly what I made. I put: http://recoursaupoeme.fr/poètes/katica-kulavkova And this is where I found her pucture. On this site there is no (c) indicated, but she (Katica Kulavkova hersevf) told me that she gave this picture to the site. Please tell me what I should do more, because I d'ont understand. Thanks Jasmina

    A missing (c) does not indicate that the file is Public Domain. We need written permission from the photographer to verify the license. --McZusatz (talk) 12:17, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
    Ok, I understand, I'll ask a written permission. Sh'll send it to me by e-mail. But then, how can I show her mail to you? --Јасмина Шопова (talk) 13:35, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
    The best way would be if the mail was sent to the otrs-mail address directly from the author. --McZusatz (talk) 15:49, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
    It seems we did not receive proper permission by now. Thus I have deleted the image. If there are any news, ping me on my talk page (this page). --McZusatz (talk) 11:58, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

    File:ZereldaWallace.gif

    Why did you delete this file? As a .gif, it's not a duplicate of File:ZereldaWallace.png. Nyttend (talk) 02:59, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

    Short answer (tl;dr): Of course it is a duplicate. The PNG has even the same color-index; thus the two files contain exactly the same data.
    Long answer: I decided to convert this GIF file to PNG because it was tagged with {{PNG}} for more than a year now. This conversion from one bitmap format to another does not change the dimensions, color or even adds compression artefacts. In fact the conversion from GIF to PNG is always lossless and in this case there is even a lossless conversion possible from PNG to GIF as I kept the color-index. Due to the file contents being the same this file can be processed as {{Dupe}}. (As a note: Of course this could not be processed as dupe, if I converted the GIF/PNG into SVG).
    Furthermore the PNG file creates better thumbnails (i.e. 32-Bit RGBA) in contrast to the 8-bit GIF palette with 1-bit transparency. Two results of this fact are: First, the PNG files are smaller due to effective compression. Secondly the editing of the file is easier and lossless (full RGB-space available in PNG).
    Consequently we do not need the GIF file anymore and it can be redirected to the new PNG file. --McZusatz (talk) 21:06, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Ich hatte bereits am 9. Oktober versucht, mit dem Baustein {{Remove borders}} wohl das Gleiche zu erreichen. Was ist denn eigentlich der Unterschied? Würde mein Edit in diesem Falle gar keine Auswirkungen haben? --hdamm (talk) 10:08, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

    Nein, das ist tatsächlich das Gleiche. In diesem Fall war das Template dann effektiv zweimal zu finden, wobei ich eines wieder von Hand entfernen musste, aber lieber zweimal als keinmal. ;-) --McZusatz (talk) 19:09, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

    images deleted after OTRS submitted

    Hi McZusatz. Could you tell me why you deleted these 2 images?

    I had just had the company send an email stating permission to COM:OTRS as per the nominating editor's suggestion. Would further permissions be required? --NipponBill (talk) 06:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

    ✓ restored. Thanks for the ping back; I did not find the permission on my first try. --McZusatz (talk) 07:57, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

    WLM exhibition

    Hello. The photo edited by you File:Археологічний комплекс «Караул-Оба».jpg will be represented at the exhibition of Ukrainian WLM photos. Should we attribute yourself as coauthor of this picture or only attribute the first author?--Anatoliy (talk) 15:27, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

    Hi, thank you for the question. Please do not attribute me, as I did not edit the photo. My only contribution was to convert the file from progressive to baseline-mode. Such edits are too simple to gain copyright. --McZusatz (talk) 15:59, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

    File:Взрыв метеорита над Челябинском 15 02 2013 avi-iCawTYPtehk.ogv, Motd/2014-02-15

    Hi McZusatz, der Datei habe ich mal ein review needed verpasst; ich denke aber, dass sie wohl eher ein speedy verdient. Könntest du da mal schauen? Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 14:04, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

    Ich habe kurz einen Blick drauf geworfen und keine offensichtlichen Probleme erkannt. Was veranlasste dich zu denken, dass die Datei schnellgeloescht werden soll? --McZusatz (talk) 16:02, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
    Sorry, das war ein Irrtum meinerseits, ich hatte den 2. Link auf die Archivseite übersehen. Wohler würde ich mich aber fühlen, wenn das schon damals per Review am Original überprüft worden wäre, aber so muss man halt dieser Sekundärquelle trauen. Danke für's Nachschauen, Gruß --Pristurus (talk) 21:41, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
    Oft werden Dateien gelöscht, falls der Urheber die Lizenz "versehentlich" ausgewählt hat. (Also, dass er sich innerhalb von wenigen Tagen meldet, bzw. die Lizenz zurücksetzt.) In dem vorliegenden Fall kann man nicht davon ausgehen, falls die Lizenz vom 14. Feb (YT-upload) bis 6. März (Commons-upload) sich nicht geändert hat... Natürlich existiert die Möglichkeit, dass Aleksandr Ivanov die Datei am 5. März "versehentlich" auf CC-BY gestellt hat und dass user:Daniel Mietchen den Upload am gleichen Tag entdeckt hat und zu Commons transferiert hat, aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit würde ich als nicht ausreichend für eine vorbeugende Löschung bezeichnen. --McZusatz (talk) 23:00, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
    Die Datei war zuerst mit der klassischen YouTube-Lizenz hochgeladen worden. Ich hatte Aleksandr Ivanov dann per comment gefragt, ob er auf CC BY umstellen kann, und ein paar Tage spaeter hat er das gemacht. Als ich mit dem Upload hier fertig war, hab ich mich bei ihm erneut per comment bedankt, und anschliessend hat er die Lizenz wieder auf normal umgestellt. Da ich solche Lizenzaenderungen schon frueher gesehen habe (vor allem auf Flickr), nutze ich meist WebCite zur Archivierung der Lizensierung. Ich hab keinen Kommentar seinerseits zu meinen Kommentaren gesehen, vermute aber, er fand's OK, das Video auf Wikipedia zu haben, wollte aber Kopien von YouTube aus nicht ausufern lassen. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 23:43, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
    Daniel, danke für deine Klarstellung. Mein Problem bei dem Vorgang war eigentlich, dass die Datei als Motd vorgesehen ist und auf der Hauptseite möglichst nichts mit auch nur eventuell zweifelbehafteter Lizenz erscheinen sollte. Ich denke, in dem Fall kann man das Video guten Gewissens dafür verwenden. Kleine Anregung für zukünftige Uploads (und nicht böse gemeint): setz gleich das Review-Template zur Bestätigung der Lizenz, dann gibt es damit keine weiteren Probleme mehr. Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 00:10, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
    Auf Template:LicenseReview steht, dass das nur admins duerfen. Oder gibt's noch irgend n flag dafuer? -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 00:21, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
    Es wäre auch nicht sinnig, wenn der Uploader das selbst erledigt, egal ob er nun Adminrechte hat oder nicht. Durch die Sichtung einer zweiten unbeteiligten Person, die die angegebene Lizenz der Originalquelle überprüft und deren Status (zum angebenen Zeitpunkt) somit auch in einem juristischen Verfahren (bei nachträglicher Lizenzänderung) bestätigen könnte, ist man rechtlich wesentlich besser abgesichert. Conclusio: als Uploader einfach das Template in den Seitenquellentext einfügen, die restliche Arbeit erledigt dann jemand anders... Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 08:58, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
    Das Review anfordern darf generell jeder. Bestätigen dürfen aber nur Admins und Lizenzsichter (Die Rechte kann man sich hier holen).
    Und: Falls du die Uploads mit com:youtube2mediawiki (ohne Transkodierung) durchführst, ist die Lizenz in spätestens 5 Tagen von mir bestätigt. (Ansonsten meld dich auf meiner Diskussionsseite hier) --McZusatz (talk) 09:46, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
    OK, got it. Einen ersten Anlauf mit youtube2mediawiki habe ich schon mal gemacht, bin aber steckengeblieben. Ein zweiter kommt bestimmt. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 14:08, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
    Ich sollte erwähnen, dass YT alle WebM transcodes die nicht 360p groß sind, nicht mehr zugänglich macht. Ich hoffe noch immer, dass sich das möglichst bald ändert. Solange habe ich aber den YT import pausiert. --McZusatz (talk) 14:19, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

    Cleopatra

    Hello McZusatz, as I am sure you know, having one of your uploads nominated as MOTD is one of the little joys of Commons. Even more so the day after the upload. Now I understand perfectly your very good reason for redirecting to a larger file, but I am not sure the way you did it was the most appropriate (as mine preexisted) nor the kindest (per the MOTD nomination). Think it over for another time Clin. Cheers, — Racconish Tk 19:28, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

    I thought about doing it yesterday but the chance of something going wrong was too high. I did it today because I see no reason in keeping a scaled down and recompressed version of the video. If I could have done anything differently please let me know. Furthermore I can recommend COM:YT which list only a few of the thousand of possibilities of downloading a youtube video and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons. Keep in mind that both - youtube and Commons - support .webm which is a great format for web video. --McZusatz (talk) 21:33, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
    Since you ask : I think it would have been much more polite to transform the file I had created in a redirect, while keeping the history, rather than deleting it and creating a new redirect. Thanks in any case for the technical advice, but please note I was addressing other aspects. Cheers, — Racconish Tk 11:43, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
    I have restored the history of the original file. Additionally many thanks for all the useful youtube uploads by you. For the files in the cat: I think we should download the .webm file from youtube and upload it to Wikimedia Commons without transcoding. --McZusatz (talk) 12:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
    Thanks. Sometimes silent films on YouTube have an additional soundtrack which has to be removed. I know how to do it on Theora files, using oggsplit under Windows. How about webm ? Cheers, — Racconish Tk 12:48, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

    Hi Racconish! Download ffmpeg (static) and create a batch-file:

    1. find and select ffmpeg.exe
    2. right-click it and sent to desktop (create a shortcut)
    3. right-click the shortcut select the file properties and copy the complete path. Delete the shortcut..
    4. use the windows editor to create a new file and paste the path to here followed by a single space followed by: -i %1 -vcodec copy -an %1_noaudio.webm (example: N:\Programm-Ordner\Video\ffmpeg.exe -i %1 -vcodec copy -an %1_noaudio.webm)
    5. save it as webm_noaudio.bat wherever you want.

    Drag and drop a ogv file on it and you will find a new created file in your source folder (in the form xx.webm._noaudio.webm). --Pristurus (talk) 14:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

    Thanks Pristurus. Am I correct to assume this would also work for a webm file and not only for an ogv file ? Cheers, — Racconish Tk 16:05, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
    This works for webm only. In case of using it with an ogv file you will get an resulting webm file containing a theora coded videostream. And that is not allowed in the webm container ... --Pristurus (talk) 16:23, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
    Thanks again. I have another question for you please. File:Monkeyshines.ogv is actually a composite of two small videos, Monkeyshines 1 and Monkeyshines 2 (at 00:29). Some projects have an article on both while others have an article only on Monkeyshines 1. Would it be difficulut to split the file in two ? I hope I am not bothering you... — Racconish Tk 17:17, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
    Why do you want to split it physically? You may use the start/end parameters (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/TimedMediaHandler) to display different parts of the video (hope it works for you). To find the cut points try User:Saibo/thumbtimefinder. --Pristurus (talk) 19:05, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
    It seems to be easier than what I had in mind. Thanks, — Racconish Tk 19:28, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
    Are all the 65 files meant to be video-only? In this case I could batch process all and you won't have to do any additional work. --McZusatz (talk) 14:12, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
    Not sure I fully understand : video-only as opposed to what ? Thanks, — Racconish Tk 14:33, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
    Sorry, I forgot to say that I already uploaded the 65 files from youtube to Wikimedia Commons with the same name as the 65 ogv videos. (I changed the extension from '.ogv' to ' - yt.webm'.) If none of the 65 files has an audio stream to keep, I can remove the audio stream from all of the .webm uploads. Due to youtube adding an empty audio stream even to silent videos this would also save bandwidth when those are embedded.
    After removing the audio stream I plan to tag your .ogv uploads as duplicate and redirect them to the cleaned up .webm files. --McZusatz (talk) 14:52, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
    Yes, they are all silent or should be silent as the audio might be copyrighted. Please make sure to keep the same categories. Thanks, — Racconish Tk 14:56, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
    ✓ Done. Interestingly one file has a lower quality version on youtube so I did not replace this one. (see on the right) Is the source really youtube? --McZusatz (talk) 19:45, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
    Hi McZusatz, it seems you are doing again what I asked you not to do : deleting my uploads and replacing them with new files which are mere redirects. Why don't you simply transform the files in redirects in order to keep the history, particularly when they are featured videos ? Regards, — Racconish Tk 20:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
    Sorry, this is the default behavior. However the history for all files is now restored. --McZusatz (talk) 20:41, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
    Thanks, appreciated. — Racconish Tk 21:36, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

    File:Xiu Xiu on Sound and Song Structure.ogv

    Hallo McZusatz, könntest du die Datei im 16:9 Format von der angegebenen Homepage reuploaden (siehe File talk:Xiu Xiu on Sound and Song Structure.ogv)? Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 10:52, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

    ✓ Done. --McZusatz (talk) 21:22, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
    Danke McZusatz, auf dich ist Verlass! Aber leider stimmt das Video so noch nicht ganz, schau mal auf die absonderlichen Abmessungen, die da produziert wurden. Ich habe mir mal ein paar Frames runtergeladen und Mediainfo sagt dazu 1440x1080, ffmpeg2theora erkennt das aber hier unter Win7 als 1440x1088. Man könnte mal versuchen die Datei zu resizen (--width 1440 --height 1080 --audioquality 10 --videoquality 10 --aspect 16:9), hier haut das dann jedenfalls hin. Und wenn ich dich schon quäle, die Lizenz müsste da auch noch geprüft werden... Gruß, --Pristurus (talk) 22:45, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
    Ursprünglich habe ich mir gewünscht, dass quadratische Pixel rauskommen (also 1920x1080). Bei deinem Vorschlag sollte ffmpeg idealerweise auf Pixelinterpolation verzichten; Also ich lasse das mal so durchlaufen und hochladen. Ob es was wird sieht man dann nachher... --McZusatz (talk) 23:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
    Wie du schon sagst, bedeutet Upscaling immer eine Pixelinterpolation, d. h. die Qualität des Ergebnisses hängt vom angewendeten Algorithmus ab. De facto wirst du aber keinen Unterschied zwischen den dabei von ffmpeg2theora und modernen Softwareplayern erzielten Ergebnissen sehen. Andererseits wird durch das Hochladen einer solchen Datei das Datenvolumen größer, der Platzbedarf auf dem Server steigt und ebenso (wichtiger) die Download-Zeit. Für die Qualität der serverseitig erzeugten Dateiderivate, die ja in aller Regel zum Betrachten via integriertem Player herangezogen werden, ergibt die zusätzliche Berechnung jedoch potenziell eine Qualitätsminderung (Original->Hochskaliert->Runterskaliert versus Original->Runterskaliert). Aus diesen Gründen würde ich solche Dateien in der Regel anamorph belassen. Gruß aus Marburg, --Pristurus (talk) 12:17, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
    Gerade wenn die Dateien anamorph vorliegen haben manche decoder Schwierigkeiten mit dem aspect ratio. Entscheiden, welches Format besser ist, kann man wahrscheinlich nicht, deshalb habe ich beide Versionen hochgeladen. Die mit dem PAR=1 war natürlich größer, hat länger zum Hochladen gebraucht und ist deshalb als aktuelle Version drin. Falls du die andere willst: Einfach zurücksetzen. --McZusatz (talk) 13:59, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

    Deletion of File:Yasmina - Dansende golven, een impressie.JPG

    I wonder why you have deleted the File:Yasmina - Dansende golven, een impressie.JPG. This painting by a Belgian artist was uploaded by me to the Commons with an OTRS ticket (see: Category:Yasmina). This file was deleted before I could intervene. Among the more than 10,000 photos I've uploaded to the Commons, there are many photos of paintings and sculptures by Belgian artists who are still alive - and this each time with an OTRS ticket. Please undelete. JoJan (talk) 14:03, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

    You can find the deletion rationale in the deletion request: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Yasmina - Dansende golven, een impressie.JPG. (TLDR: The file is unrecoverable lost). It would be great if you reuploaded the missing file. I can restore the description if you want me to. --McZusatz (talk) 14:07, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
    McZusatz only deleted the file description page. The file is lost due a technical server issue we can't do anything about. -- Rillke(q?) 19:11, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

    Hi, as I already said earlier: I have zero knowledge of Armenian history. It is not possible for me to decide which edits are the 'correct' ones. You may address your problem on com:VP or the com:AN to get a broader input. Sorry and thanks for your understanding. --McZusatz (talk) 23:13, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

    Missing files (from VP)

    Aaron, Can I send you a list of missing files regularly so that you can run them through eval.php? --McZusatz (talk) 13:06, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

    I suppose, if you are willing to do that. Ideally as a raw newline separated list. Aaron Schulz (talk) 00:43, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

    erroneous Summary, incomplete Licensing

    File:Jethro Tull seed drill (1752).png by Bwwm (talk| contribs)
    refers to Horse-hoeing husbandry; 4th edition; 1762; Tull, Jethro, 1674-1741; Adams, John, 1735-1826, former owner; (Boston Public Library) or similar copy, yet the Summary is erroneous and Licensing is incomplete. If the image is from the 4th edition then the file name is incorrect. Any suggestions ? (You are the only user on Bwwm's talk) Xb2u7Zjzc32 (talk) 10:10, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

    Thanks for the message. You can change the wrong date in the description by yourself. I will rename the file right after the description was fixed. Ok? --McZusatz (talk) 10:46, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

    question - top {{SVG|any}} files

    Hi.
    I have some question about 2 sites, that you recently edit – one of them is here & second is here. The questions are:

    1st: what is the reason of keeping both of them (how about merging, leaving just one)?

    2nd: is there possible to add some template, which will automatically be checking:
    a. real, actual usage of existed files – you can see that the numbers are different on both of mentioned sites. Let’s take as an example an image from first line – that with aqua background – in one there’s number 2235, on the second – 2774 (I’m skipping now fact, that in one it’s on 1st place of use, on the other – on 2nd), but if you check it – you’ll see only *one* use – actually on it.wikinews.
    b. existed files in general, and if some other (not listed) image will have more usage then the last of them – then will be automatically replaced? 149.156.172.74 09:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

    (aw 1st) What does 'both' refer to? In case it refers to the gif file and the png file, I did not keep both. The gif file now redirects to the PNG file.
    (aw 2nd) There is no template that will cause 'automatic replacement'. However we have {{PNG}}, {{Should be svg}} and {{Duplicate}}. --McZusatz (talk) 10:10, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
    ad. 1: no - sites are duplicated (and beeing updated separately)
    ad. 2: according to variability in the number of use wouldn't be better if there will left:
    • 2a. flag & number of use only (excluding exact list on the specific wikis)
    • 2b. flag & just name of the file below (excluding any given (& not actual) number of uses)
    Thanks for clarification. You are right: There is no reason to keep both of them. Thus only one should be kept and updated regularly. As far as I know there is no template which returns the number of globalusages. So we'd have to do regular database queries (user:dispenser is the expert for such database queries). If Dispenser does not respond here within seven days, I may try to copy paste some code to create such query. Otherwise feel free to ask him on his talk page. --McZusatz (talk) 13:40, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
    @149.156.172.74: sorry for the delay. Finally I have updated Top 200 flag images that should use vector graphics. Do you like it? --McZusatz (talk) 13:54, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
    well, it looks like I'm deleyed now (and even much more than You do)… ;) - but I missed you're question (if by a chance I already answered to this - then sorry :); lately I have a lot on my mind & I don can't remember than I done this). Well - what I can tell now is, that I think (and assuming not only I), that this collection is a *way* clearly presented than it was before... 149.156.172.74 09:25, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

    PGP-Key

    Hallo McZusatz,
    ich bin gerade dabei die PGP-Keys der Wikipedianer zu sammeln. Laut deiner Benutzerseite verfügst du über einen Key, könntest du mir die ID zukommen lassen? Vielen Dank im Voraus. --DaB. (talk) 20:44, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

    Hey, DaB. Mit welchem Hintergrund sammelst du die Keys und in welcher Form werden diese veröffentlicht? --McZusatz (talk) 12:29, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

    Could you help me with CNX

    One of the images at Category:CNX you tagged and said it needed the full URL. As it is a book, is there any way I can just cite that such as through: http://cnx.org/content/col11496/latest/ which is the books online page. I can't find and ISBN.CFCF (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

    And is there any easy way to edit multiple images at once, it will take hours to go through what I have on an image per image basis opening and closing each one. CFCF (talk) 18:24, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
    Got the ISBN: 1-938165-13-5 now just to add it too all of the images in that category?? CFCF (talk) 18:35, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
    There are some things we need to take care of:
    1. properly attribute
    2. (Optional) Link to the module the file can be found (example: http://cnx.org/content/m45985/latest/?collection=col11496/latest )
    3. (Optional) Give a "hotlink" to the jpeg file (ex.: http://cnx.org/content/m45985/latest/102_Organ_Systems_of_Body(Page1).jpg )
    The fist task can be done by some script, I think... Let's have a closer look at your uploads... --McZusatz (talk) 18:51, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
    Do you think you can do the editing by yourself using Help:VisualFileChange.js? Otherwise I need to know when you started to upload the files from "Overview of Anatomy and Physiology" to select them all. --McZusatz (talk) 19:05, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
    I'll give it a shot tomorrow when I have time, but this'll make eveything smooth and fast. The help page seems pretty intuitive. Thanks alot for the help! :D CFCF (talk) 19:16, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

    "Upload gleicher Name" bug - wahl bitte!

    Hallo McZusatz,

    Können sie vielleicht für diesen Bug "wahlen"? Das kann man hier machen. Danke! --Slashme (talk) 15:47, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

    Ich habe mich in die Bugliste eingetragen und einen Kommentar verfasst. Wählen werde ich dann nach der Antwort. --McZusatz (talk) 17:24, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
    Ein Patch ist schon hochgeladen, bis der gemerged wird (wenn überhaupt), kann es noch dauern, denke ich. --McZusatz (talk) 18:54, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
