File:Yoshiya Nobuko.jpg

Hi there, I'm currently attempting to determine some information about File:Yoshiya Nobuko.jpg as part of an image review on a Featured Article candidacy. As the original uploader of the image 14 years ago (!) I was hoping you'd be able to help determine the author and publication date of the image, or at least point me in a direction where I might find it. Thanks!

I wish I could help, but it has been so long ago! I am aware that the photo is on display at the Yoshiya Nobuko Memorial Museum in Kamakura, Japan, and appears in https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/yoshiya-nobuko-memorial-museum. It can also be found in a book called 文学都市かまくら１００人, published by the Kamakura Museum of Literature in 2005. They might be able to advise on the provenance of this photo. --MChew (talk) 14:19, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

FileImporter

Hi! I wrote to you earliger about FileImporter. It is now default for all autoconfirmed users. You just need to click the tab "Export to Wikimedia Commons" to move a file and confirm with ok. Using FileImporter is better than Commons Helper. --MGA73 (talk) 21:40, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

For example you added {{PD-self}} to File:Maebashi Houtouzan Kohun 2.jpg. You should NEVER add another license than the original. --MGA73 (talk) 21:42, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Perfect! ^ _ ^ --MGA73 (talk) 17:38, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

撮影日入力のお願い

こんにちは。沢山の写真の投稿お疲れさまです。お願いがありまして、投稿される際には日付欄 |date= に投稿日や写真データの管理日ではなく、撮影日の方を入力してくださいますようお願いいたします（一例として、File:Rikyu-in Park in Ise.jpg。 2019-04-19 10:09 へ訂正済みです）。もしもカメラの日付設定を間違えていた場合は、{{Invalid Exif date}} を日付の後に入れてください。|date={{ISO date|2021-07-12}} ({{Invalid Exif date}}) といった感じで。コモンズは事実上ウィキペディアで使う記事の格納場所となっておりますが、データベースとして未来永劫にわたって維持される前提で動いており、長い年月を経た際には個々の写真がいつ撮影されたものであるかが重要な意味を持ってきます。投稿日そのものは履歴に記録されるので入力してもほとんど意味がなく、撮影日の方が重要になります。UploadWizardからアップロードされる場合は、Exifを含んだ画像であれば自動的に撮影日が入力されますので手間が省けます。
10年以上前の話で恐縮ですが、MChewさんがウィキペディアの他の人の画像をコモンズに移植された際（File:Gate of Gora Station.jpg）、日付欄を元のアップロード日とされたために、他の人が良く知らずに{{Taken on}}を入れた結果、誤った分類に入れられてしまったということもありました。この画像の場合も、元の ほっち氏のアップロード記録は下の方に記録されているため、 |date= 欄には撮影日の 2008-12-26 16:28だけで問題なかったわけです（すでに訂正済み）。ご承知置きのほど、どうぞよろしくお願い致します。--トトト (talk) 16:33, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Categories for files from jawiki

Hi! Thanks for your good work moving files to Commons. I see that you are good at finding categories for the files. Many files are moved to Commons by other users (I moved some too) without categories. If you have some time to spare it would be great if you could pick a few files from Category:Unidentified subjects in Japan. --MGA73 (talk) 08:09, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Wrong placename in File:Hiraga Gennai grave, Itabashi, Tokyo.jpg

Hello, regarding the file titled "Hiraga Gennai grave, Itabashi, Tokyo.jpg", 橋場 reads "Hashiba", not "Itabashi" [1][2]. Could you rename the file to "Hiraga Gennai grave, Hashiba, Tokyo.jpg"? Wotheina (talk) 02:18, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

@MChew: Hello? --Wotheina (talk) 05:54, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
