I also believe in the good intent that each user has in this fine project. Therefore, I would ask users who post messages in the discussion board, to respect certain rules:
  • Please do not post abusive messages. Please post messages in a manner that you yourself would like to be adressed in. Messages deemed abusive or with a rude tone, condescension, nonsense or un-P.C. content will be deleted from this board [2]. Users who continuously disrespect these guidelines will be asked not to post here anymore.
  • Please post a message in neutral letters. Do not post a message in bold or CAPITALISED letters. It is unnecessary.

Maps Cimbrian / Mocheno[edit]

Hello Gryffindor, I saw you reverted the maps that highlighted the distinction between Cimbrian and Mocheno. Can you tell me the reason?--Patavium (talk) 20:30, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Gryffindor, it is better to have the discussion here. As those maps regard Italian issues, we should discuss them here, so that they can be discussed also in Italian if needed. On Commons this is allowed. It is not on en.wiki. I think we should continue here [4]--Patavium (talk) 19:52, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Pay attention to copyright
File:Kaisernatron.JPG has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.

The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Dear Mr./Ms. Gryffindor, This message comes to you from an American citizen in Israel. I always admire your gorgeous pictures of New York on the Internet, & I especially like them considering that I snap very similar pictures myself - in New York, elsewhere in the USA, & in Israel. You always seem to take your pictures in superb weather, as do I. My question is: Why do you never give the date each picture was taken? That would be very useful, putting it all into context. Also, don't you take any pictures anymore; i.e., all your pictures seem to be taken in 2010? What's your first name? I would like to say, "keep up the good work", but I guess I can't, since you only took pictures in 2010!

                                               Yours Sincerely,
                                                   Dave Strasburg

Your swift response is highly appreciated.

Thank you

Kindest regards

Further Clarification Required[edit]

Dear Gryffindor

re Pompeo Batoni's The Return of the Prodigal Son

please can you clarify if you took the photograph of the painting and so if it is yours, and if so, please can you give me permission to use it?

Many thanks

I am not quite sure which exact painting you are referring to. Did I just upload it? If it's a two-dimensional image of a painting where the author has died over 100 years ago, it's in the public domain and may be used by anyone without permission. You certainly have my permission if you still need one. Gryffindor (talk) 14:34, 24 February 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Gryffindor, I have noticed that the "Vienna" category with its subcategories has being moved twice or more times. It's a regular edit-war there... I don't know, why it's moved without the "requested moves" tab... Moving such important categories have to be done with a special procedure. Somebody should place a template for "requested move" {{Template:Move}} and wait at least 14 days for discussion before moving. If the consensus in the discussion is reached, you can move the files.

use photo[edit]

Dear Gryffindor,

I would like to use a photo from you. It is the Photo from the Museumsquartier in Vienna on wikipedia. I would use it to announce a childrenworkshop in Architekturzentrum Wien. I would like to manipulate the foto in order to show that it is going to be a trickfilmworkshop.

Image Request[edit]

Good Morning

My name is Christina Bolt, I’m a picture researcher writing on behalf of ceramicist and writer, Dr Bonnie Kemske. Bonnie is writing a book on the iconic Japanese teabowl and its travels from East to West, asking the question,

‘Why is the teabowl, which has such a specific historical and contemporary context in Japan, become such an iconic form in the West?’  

She has asked me to help her sort images and sends you her greetings.

We would be interested in using your image of a Tearoom Setting that you have kindly put up here for free use (i have put the link at the bottom of this message) the book is being published with Bloomsbury’s Academic Department however and they would be happier if they could credit you directly rather than Wikipedia. Please can you advise whether you would be happy to send the image to us direct?

We would require a high quality digital file (jpeg or tif) at 300dpi minimum by 9th October 2015 along with signed permission request form.

I look forward to your response and thank you in advance.

Sincerely Christina Bolt

Categories related to Nagoya, Aichi[edit]

Bonne soirée. I see that you have made all of the commons categories related to Category:Nagoya, Aichi to be moved to Category:Nagoya. In Japanese "Nagoya" also means 名護屋, which is historically of more importance than 名古屋 of Aichi prefecture. Renaming as such should be discussed beforehand and earn the consensus of Japanese wikimedians. You should better revert these requests immediately or I have to accuse you of vandalism. --トトト (talk) 19:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You should have followed the right procedure for renaming. See Commons:Rename a category#Types of renames (controversial fixes). The fact that Category:Nagoya, Aichi has been once moved from Category:Nagoya suggests that there have been users who think it is better to be equipped with the disambiguation "in Aichi". And there is no such rules that a commons category name should always be equal to that of an English wikipedia article. Your edits cause confusions more than neatness. Please revert them now. --トトト (talk) 11:34, 13 October 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Serpentine column in Istanbul[edit]

I almost had an heart attack when I saw your picture of the Serpentine column in Istanbul which I know well because I wrote an article and made a drawing of it in 1989. The monument your photograph shows is completely transformed by the stitching : number of spires, height, thickness and so on. It is a shame that, while so many good photographs of this monument exist, you edit such a caricatural representation of this very elegant bronze structure. You should return to more traditional (but more efficient) technique for photography ! — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.243.7.200 (talk) 12:44, 10 November 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Continuo a non capire questa tua ostinazione[edit]

...o meglio, spero non sia legata a un problema di campanile perché allora la tua utenza diventa chiaramente problematica. La tua ostinazione ad usare denominazioni non istituzionali è stata tempo fa più volte messa in discussione da un admin ora non più attivo, tuttavia tu appena passato un po' di tempo ti dai all'allegro rollback senza iniziare alcuna discussione. IMO, pur avendo grosse perplessità, dato l'evidente e indiscusso biliguismo (prevalente) posso anche capire l'esigenza di un "Provincia autonoma di Bolzano/Bozen" e del suo omologo in lingua tedesca (per non parlare di quella in ladino) e posso anche accettare quel Trentino-South Tyrol che comunque è un pugno nello stomaco da qualunque lingua si parta, in ogni caso voler equiparare il Trentino alla Provincia autonoma di Trento è voler mischiare la storia e la geografia politica italiana. Come già fatto notare altrove se in Commons si iniziasse a far proliferare categorie per ragione storica si diventerebbe pazzi, quindi ci sarebbe il "partito di wikimediani" che pretenderebbe la Carnia, l'Istria, forse anche la Corsica, innescando un problema POV e solamente POV lontanissimo dai pilastri su cui si fonda non solo wikipedia ma tutti, e sottolineo tutti, i progetti wikimedia. Ora, pur avendo solo un briciolo di speranza in un dialogo, ti invito a discuterne nel bar italiano, non perché tu possa anche lontanamente pensare sia "di parte" ma perché temo che in un bar generalista in lingua inglese dei "dispettucci localistici" presumo non interessi quasi a nessuno. Comunque sia se non ricevo risposta alcuna ho intenzione di fare tutto ciò che sia possibile per segnalarti come utenza problematica, qui e altrove, perché temo che sia un tentativo di imporre un POV che altrove non sei in grado altrettanto di gestire se non, appunto, rischiando un ban.--Threecharlie (talk) 18:12, 23 January 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Category names[edit]

I noticed that you moved some of the categories for villages in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan:

  • Category:Ie, Okinawa -> Category:Ii, Okinawa
  • Category:Kunigami, Okinawa -> Category:Kunjan, Okinawa
  • Category:Nakijin, Okinawa -> Category:Nachijin, Okinawa
  • Category:Onna, Okinawa -> Category:Unna, Okinawa
  • Category:Tonaki, Okinawa -> Category:Tunachi, Okinawa
  • Category:Yomitan, Okinawa -> Category:Yuntan, Okinawa
  • Category:Ogimi, Okinawa -> Category:Ujimi, Okinawa

You insisted that the categories should be named in Okinawan, the native language. But Okinawan is not treated as an official language in Japan (neithr in Okinawa Prefecture), and in fact the villages are named in Japanese language ([5][6][7][8][9][10][11]).

Category names for some stations in Nagoya[edit]

Hello, I have noticed that you renamed some categories for train stations in Nagoya from Category:XX Station (Aichi) to Category:XX Station (Nagoya).
But in most cases, the categories for other stations with the same names was named as Category:XX Station (Prefecture name), not Category:XX Station (City name), so I think it's necessary to move them back. And also, you did not give any reasons for renaming them.
So I'm going to rename them as Category:XX Station (Aichi).--そらみみ ([[User talk:そらみみ|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 22:28, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This will add a link to commons to all language versions of the corresponding article on en-wikipedia. Moreover this will avoid the corresponding article to be included in the maintenance category en:Category:Commons category template with no category set.

Many thanks if you could consider to do so, indeed this would reduce my efforts on adding these iw links later through patrolling the pages listed on the pre-mentioned category on en-wikipedia. I would like to thank you for all the great work you are realizing on en-wikipedia and here on commons.

If you have any further questions on this do not hesitate to contact me. Best regards Robby ([[User talk:Robby|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:42, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Dear Gryffindor,
I would like to ouline thaht the way you are doing thill now is not 'creating issues' I just suggest to proceed in a different way.
Concerning the category:Hirasawa Kurō I made already the necessara changes as described as described in my previous post on this page. You see the affects best on the the the corresponding element on wikidata. in this case the element Q47455464 was automatically created by adding the interwikilinks by clicking here on commons in the sidebar menu under In Wikipedia' on 'Add links' and then putting in the appearing pop-up box the link to the corresponding article on en-wikipedia.
Concerning the issue on how to link articles and categories I proceeed (except if I wloop somethng) in such away that i always link categories on en-wikipedia to categories on commons. If there i sjust an article on en-wikipedia and if there is a gallerie respectively an article on commons thaen I link both articles and on wikidata I add the property P373 on wikidata the property P373 on wikidata (if you are searching more information on this property the discussion page on P373 on wikidata is a good starting point). If there is just an article on en-wikipedia and a corresponding category on commoons (as it was the case for Hirasawa Kurō I add just the iw-link as previously decribd here on commons and on commons Deltabot is automatically adding the property P373 on the corresponding wikidata element.
I hope these explanations help clarify how I work.
P.S. do not hesitate to reconduct me if I was not comprehensible in my explannations as this is a really complicated and tricky issue.

My name is Isaiah Mitchell, and I'm writing on behalf of Trinity University Press in San Antonio, Texas. We're in the middle of publishing a book about art, and we'd like to use this picture as well as this picture. Do you have versions of these photos that are not JPEG? We cannot use JPEG.

Deine Kategorieverschiebungen[edit]

Hallo Gryffindor, finde deine Verschiebungen ohne vorherige Diskussion (Category:Rathaus, Vienna) oder ohne erzielten Konsens (Category:Zentralfriedhof, Vienna) nicht besonders nett, nachdem es aber sonst niemanden aufzufallen scheint, soll es mir egal sein. Ich möchte dich allerdings bitten,

  • konsistent zu verschieben (d.h. alle Unterkategorien & Galerien passend)
  • alle Verlinkungen auf die Commonscats aus den österreichischen Denkmallisten richtig zu stellen (wir verwenden diese für den Upload über den UW)
  • alle Verlinkungen auf die Commonscats aus den einzelnen Artikeln zu den Objekten richtig zu stellen wäre fein
  • auf WD entsprechend nachzuziehen (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q686468), dort heißt es btw. immer noch (engl.) Rathaus in Vienna und die Commons Cat ist falsch eingetragen
  • die Straßen in Wien mit , Vienna zu lassen.
  • Trotzdem wäre es fein, wenn du solche kontroversiellen Verschiebungen vorher per CFD diskutieren würdest.

Ikebana photos[edit]

Hi Gryffindor. I'm wondering if you can clear something up about File:2017 Ikenobou Autumn Tanabata Exhibition Souka Hyakki (9).jpg as well as some Ikebana photos you have uploaded. You are the copyright holder of the photographs themselves, but the copyright statuses of the Ikebana pieces you photographed also nees to be taken into account. There's no en:freedom of panorama for 3D works of art in Japan (at least nothing compatible with COM:L) per COM:FOP#Japan, which means in most cases that the permission of the artist who created the work is also needed for Commons to accept/keep the file. It looks like the piece in "File:2017 Ikenobou Autumn Tanabata Exhibition Souka Hyakki (9)" was created by someone named "Katsuko Matsubara" (apologies in advance if I got her name wrong). Assuming this is not you, then Commons most likely Ms. Matsubara's explcit consent that she agree to release her work under a free license is going to need to be OTRS verified to keep the photo. I've asked about this at Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2018/03#File:2017 Ikenobou Autumn Tanabata Exhibition Souka Hyakki (9).jpg and also User talk:Jeff G.#Ikebana photos. Template:U is an OTRS volunteer, so he can probably explain the details better than I. Do you have any way of getting in touch with Ms. Matsubara and explaining what is needed? A suggestion was made to start a COM:DR about these photos, but I figured I see if you can clarify things first. -- Marchjuly ([[User talk:Marchjuly|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 04:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Right, we need permission from the artist for the flower arrangement via OTRS.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 10:51, 12 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi Marchjuly,
Thank you for your message. That is a good question.
For arrangements which are copies of historical pieces, there cannot be a copyright since they are copying classical arrangements on which the copyright of the original inventor/teacher has expired. The example you gave of the Sōka Hyakki pieces is such, the author being Ikenobō Senjō (池坊専定) and the arrangements dating to at least 1820. Therefore there is no copyright on it since it has expired. It would be as if someone today copied an old master like Hiroshige, and then claimed copyright on the work. If a piece is modern and new (Jiyūka 自由花 for example), then I agree copyright would apply. The pictures I have uploaded are all pieces which are classical and traditional and copies of old existing formats. If that logic does still not suffice, you could argue that article 46 applies in this case. Gryffindor ([[User talk:Gryffindor|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 14:45, 12 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I’ve moved the your above post you left on my user talk page to this thread just to keep everything in one place.
Thanks for the extra clarification; however, I still think there are some things which need to be resolved. Even if the original piece is in the public domain, the ones you photographed might still be considered derivatives which have their own separate copyright from the original. A simple mechanical reproduction of a PD 2D work of art is generally not considered to have any “creative input” to establish a new copyright, but 3D works of art are treated differently. I don’t believe it can be said that these recreations are simple mechanical reproductions of the original work; therefore, I think there might still be copyright issues involved. As for article 46, I looked at it before posting on your user talk and was unable to find anything which says that works based on PD works are not eligible for copyright protection. I might have just missed it, so could you cite the exact section of 46 you think applies here. If that’s the case, then the files’ pages may need to be updated to include information about the original work and to clarify that what you photographed are non-copyrightable reproductions. — Marchjuly ([[User talk:Marchjuly|int:Talkpagelinktext]]) 22:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
