SVG maps

Hi, where do you get the data for your maps, and how do you put it into Inkscape? I noticed that you have municipal boundaries on several and I am interested in making SVG municipal boundary maps for cities in Texas. -- Drumguy8800 05:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 25or6to4!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichill (talk) 12:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, 25or6to4!

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

Here's how:

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

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

[[Category:Category name]]

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

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

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

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

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

I originally made the edits to add the western and eastern sections of I-540 a few years ago. I made the map just of the interstate portion, and not including the NC540 section. It didn't even exist back then. 25or6to4 (talk) 14:47, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The text issue

Hey. The text issue appears to have something to do with the position of the text object in the SVG file. Three of the labels on the initial version of File:NY Route 361 map.svg were messed up, so I checked out the source. It ends up that all three text objects were at the very bottom of the code. I moved them up to where the rest of the text objects were in the code and reuploaded, and it cleared the issue up. I have no idea why the position of the object in the code makes a difference, but apparently it does. I tried to do a fix on File:NJ 79 map.svg by moving the group that the text was in farther up in the code; it didn't work. I'll keep looking into it. This is certainly an annoying bug, if only for the fact that we have to reupload to see if we fixed it (since it renders fine in Inkscape and Firefox). --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 06:33, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tried a couple more things, as you probably see from the NJ 79 map's file history. From what I can guess, if text is below a group in the code, Wiki's SVG renderer will mess it up. That's the only explanation/conclusion I can come up with based on the NJ 79 and NY 361 maps. On NY 361, the three objects that borked initially were below my grouped shields while the rest of the text was above them; everything straightened out when I moved the three objects above the groups. This is definitely an issue on Wikimedia's end (considering it looks fine when viewed directly in Firefox and Inkscape) regarding their SVG-to-PNG renderer/converter; I'd post something on the village pump. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 07:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well...heh...maybe not. I tweaked and changed some settings regarding the text in Inkscape and a text editor and finally got it to work right. =) I'll find another map with borked text and try to replicate my results. If it was something as simple as a couple of numbers, though, it doesn't explain why the text messed up on NY 361's map earlier since the code that was moved up higher was the same exact code that was buggy before. Methinks the renderer itself is buggy. =) --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 07:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed File:Texas 3 map.svg. What I did:

Ungrouped the individual text objects (apparently they each had their own group)
Changed part of the text using the second tab of Inkscape's text and font tool (Text -> Text and font) to force Inkscape to regenerate the properties of the text
Changed the text back and saved
Removed all of the coordinates after the first one in the text's <tspan> tags in a text editor.

That's enough debugging for me today. =) --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 07:49, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help so far! I went ahead and tried these steps on file:Texas 4 map.svg. Half worked, half didn't. What I noticed was that the ones that did work ("Brownsville" and "Cameron") had numbered x and y coordinates, while the rest (Port Isabel, Los Fresnos, and the legend labels) had x and y coordinates of zero. Will also point you to this discussion, if you hadn't seen it already. 25or6to4 (talk) 19:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Commonist licenses

Dear 25or6to4,

As you might know Wikimedia is currently migrating from the GFDL to cc-by-sa-3.0. Wikimedia Commons is also migrating and we're down to less than 8000 files (started with about 1,8M files) . Unfortunatly this number keeps growing because Commonist contains outdated license templates. You appear to be running Commonist, could you please change the following lines in your license.txt?

{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}} should be changed to {{Self|GFDL|Cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0}}

{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|GFDL|cc-by-3.0}}

{{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} should be changed to {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}

Can I also fix the images you have already uploaded by adding {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}?

Thank you very much, Multichill (talk) 12:19, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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:

Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
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.
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

Photo information

Hi. Thanks for your work! A couple of notes - when you upload a photo from the LOC website (or elsewhere), please include a link back to the original. I also noticed a couple examples where for whatever reason you had the author and date info quite wrong. Note the fixes I made to File:Powhatan House Hotel, Galveston, Texas.jpg for example. If you have any questions about Commons I might help with, feel free to ask. Thanks for your attention. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 15:46, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Map request

Hi there! Is it possible for you to make a general map of CT interstates with none highlighted? I saw that File:I-95 (CT) map.svg, File:I-91 (CT) map.svg, and File:I-84 (CT) map.svg were created by you, so that's why I'm asking here. If could drop me a note at my en: talkpage when you reply, that would be great. Thanks! Pepper (talk) 01:48, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Trueheart Adriance Building, Galveston, Texas.jpg

Hi. On File:Trueheart Adriance Building, Galveston, Texas.jpg you neglected to include a link to the source page, and seem to have placed strangely wrong information about authorship and date. I believe I have fixed this one for you. If you have uploaded any other images with similarly incorrect information, please fix them if possible. If you have any questions or if I might be of assistance, feel free to ask. Thanks for your attention. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 05:17, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear 25or6to4,
Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2013, and for sharing your pictures with the whole world! We would like to ask again a few minutes of your time.

Thanks to the participation of people like you, the contest gathered more than 365,000 pictures of cultural heritage objects from more than 50 countries around the world, becoming the largest photography competition to have ever taken place.

You can find all your pictures in your upload log, and are of course very welcome to keep uploading images and help develop Wikimedia Commons, even though you will not be able to win more prizes (just yet).

If you'd like to start editing relevant Wikipedia articles and share your knowledge with other people, please go to the Wikipedia Welcome page for more information, guidance, and help.

To make future contests even more successful than this year, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in a short survey. Please fill in this short survey in your own language, and help us learn what you liked and didn't like about Wiki Loves Monuments 2013.

Kind regards,

Picture of the Year 2013 R1 Announcement

I-580 (NV) map.svg

I-580 in Nevada was officially extended recently but the map shows the old designation still. It now extends down to Carson City. Perhaps you are already aware; any chance we could get an updated map on the page? Thanks!--Bodo920 (talk) 19:10, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. ~ Nahid ^Talk 20:50, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:NRHP Oregon Map.svg

Thanks for your update to File:NRHP Oregon Map.svg a couple days ago. I notice a typo, however: in the key on the map is the abbreviation "NRHp" rather than "NRHP". I don't know if this error affected the other state maps or not - I didn't look. Is it possible you can correct the Oregon map at least? Thanks! — Ipoellet (talk) f.k.a.

Map Request: Schertz, Texas in Guadelupe County.

The entry for Schertz, Texas features Schertz in a map of Bexar County. But Schertz originated in neighboring Guadalupe County and then expanded to Bexar. Further, the City Hall of Schertz is still located in Guadalupe County. So I think it would be more appropriate for the entry to have a Guadalupe County map like this one for Seguin. 25or6to4, could you please make a Guadalupe County map for Schertz? Thank you.Inkan1969 (talk) 18:24, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. file:Guadalupe County Schertz.svg. 25or6to4 (talk) 15:18, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, very much, 25or6to4. Since Schertz is one of those municipalities that extends to multiple counties, it's a good idea to show a lot of the area surrounding Guadalupe county.15:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2015 is open!

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear 25or6to4,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.

Thanks,

Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States - Thank You!

Hi there! Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States. We're excited to see people uploading thousands of photos from all over the country! You and others have collectively uploaded 4,929 photos so far, all of which are viewable at Category:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States (sorted by state).

We encourage you to continue contributing through the rest of the month. Uploading your photos of monuments isn't the only way to contribute, however. If you're interested, we have compiled a list of auxiliary ways to contribute - which include improving Wikipedia's coverage of historic and cultural sites, as well as finding existing free photos that can be shared on the Commons. While these contributions don't count towards the contest, we are still keeping track of them and they are great ways to contribute to the spirit of the project.

If you are interesting in contributing to Wikipedia, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places is also great place to start. The WikiProject showcases the work that has been done so far in covering NRHP sites, and can also help you find articles that need improving.

If you're on Twitter, give us a follow @WLMUnitedStates for updates, news, and more.

If you have any questions between now or the end of the month, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Thank you! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 09:28, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States during the month of October! The United States contest saw over 1,700 people contribute over 11,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States and its territories. In addition to National Register of Historic Places sites, we welcomed uploads of sites designated by state- and local-level historical institutions and societies. Hundreds of these photos are already being used to illustrate Wikipedia articles!

We're excited to announce that our national judging process has concluded, and that we have selected the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States! We were amazed by all of the uploads, and regret having to narrow it down to just 10. That being said – congratulations to our national winners and their amazing shots! Our 10 winners will be sent to the international Wiki Loves Monuments jury, who will then select the winners of the international contest. If you're interested in seeing the winners of the other various national contests as they are announced, you may do so at Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 winners.

Finally, we have also created a feedback form for all participants in the United States to fill out. The survey is optional and anonymous, and only takes a minute or two – we hope to use the feedback to organize better events in the future!

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, and we hope to see you again for future Commons photography events! ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 06:29, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maps

Hi, thanks for the maps of cities, towns, etc., you put on the article pages, but it may be time to update some (if you have the time). Cities change boundaries a lot as they increase or decrease in size. There have also been a lot of changes in CDPs. I've created a bunch of new pages for new CDPs. I've found a great site for accurate maps called MapTechnia.com. Check out your map for Elmendorf, Texas vs the one on MapTechnia.com and you'll see what I mean. I know you must have put a lot of time and effort into making these maps. Wikipedia editing is voluntary, so you must like doing it and if you're like me, you want it to be accurate. Thanks again for all the hard work. Jdtrue63 (talk)

Hi there! My name is Kevin, one of the organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States. Last year, you contributed to our 2016 event. It was a great success thanks to you and many others, with over 1,700 people contributing over 11,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States. Over 1,000 of these photos now help illustrate Wikipedia articles, making our open knowledge about United States history and heritage all the better.

Check out our updated event page for more information, including updated tips, lists, and prizes.

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States during the month of October! The United States contest saw over 1,400 people (the most of any nation this year) contribute over 8,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States and its territories. Hundreds of these photos are already being used to illustrate pages on various Wikimedia projects.

We're excited to announce that our national judging process has concluded, and that we have selected the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States! These photos are recognized for their photographic quality, artistic merit, and their encyclopedic value as illustrations of unique historical sites. We were amazed by all of the uploads, and regret only being able to formally recognize the top 10. That being said – congratulations to our national winners and their amazing shots! Our 10 winners will be sent to the international Wiki Loves Monuments jury, who will then select the winners of the international contest. If you're interested in seeing the winners of the other national contests, you may do so at Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 winners.

If you would like to view all the photos submitted for the U.S. this year, you may do so here.

Finally, we have also created a feedback form for all U.S. participants to fill out. The survey is optional and anonymous, and only takes a minute or two – we hope to use the feedback to organize better events in the future!

A quick thank you to our national jury, as well as Commons editors who have helped categorize and place photos for the event. And finally, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments and helping to preserve our history through photography - we hope to see you again for future Commons photography events!

NRHP maps

File:NRHP Rhode Island Map.svg

NRHP sites in Rhode Island

File:NRHP Hawaii Map.svg

NRHP sites in Hawaii

File:NRHP Delaware Map.svg

NRHP sites in Delaware

Hello 25ot6to4, you created many of the maps in the category NRHP maps. As you know the amount of objects on the lists changes. Updating all the maps is not a job to do. You'd better might imprint the maps by a date stamp. But that's not my theme. I am writing to you to ask you to create a map of Rhode Island showing the amount of NRHP sites and the NRHP per 100 sq. mi., similar to all the others. Would you be so kind to take some time to do the map? I appreciate! Thx! --Tommes 19:34, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I didn't create a Rhode Island map is the maps were divided by county. But since RI only has 3 counties, creating a proper and useful scale is difficult. I'm in the process of updating all the rest of the maps right now, so I will look over the RI map again and see what I can put together. 25or6to4 (talk) 21:54, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I didn't get the point. Wouldn't it be possible to convert File:Rhode-island-counties.gif into svg, change colors, and add the figures? Doesn't less counties mean less work? I even miss more maps (see alongside) and the one of Alaska is old-fashioned, has the green-red-yellow color style. Enjoy your work! --Tommes 22:00, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 30th is the last day to upload photos for Wiki Loves Monuments! We're thrilled that the United States has almost reached 4,000 contributions so far this year. Of these images, ~370 (~9%) have already been used to help illustrate Wikipedia articles and pages on other wiki projects, which is fantastic.

If you've already made a photo contribution this year, thanks so much! If you have any last-minute photos of U.S. historical sites to upload and enter into the contest, today's the day to do it. Check out the United States event page for more information. Judging will take place throughout the month of October, after which the top-ten national finalists will be announced in early November.

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
To perform file name swaps.
When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Paris, Idaho

I don't have any more photos of Paris at this time. I wish you luck; Paris is hard. A lot has changed since the NRHP listing. Many buildings are gone or altered, addresses have changed, and the listed addresses are mostly poor. My work has focused mainly on the north half of town, but I hope there are still some listings you can find in the south half. I would recommend some prep work comparing the listing photos with Street View before going. Again, best of luck getting photos. Ntsimp (talk) 22:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Kevin from Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States here. I know it's been a tough year for everyone, and I hope this message finds you well.

You are receiving this message as a participant in last year's Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in the United States. First, a recap: We concluded with over 5,200 great photos of U.S. historical sites made possible by contributors like you. If you haven't yet seen, last year's U.S. winners are viewable here, and the international winners here (including multiple from the United States!).

Second, as you may have seen from the banner notices on Wikipedia, this year's Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in the United States has been running through October instead of September in consideration of the pandemic and the hectic start of the fall season. Despite the challenges of the year, we're thrilled that the United States has surpassed 5,000 photo contributions so far.

October 31st is the last day to upload photos for the U.S. competition this year. If you've already contributed, thank you so much - and it's great to have you again this year! If you haven't yet contributed but are interested in participating again, you're invited to join us during these last couple days. Check out the United States event page for more information. Remember that you are welcome to upload and submit photos of historic sites that you've taken any time in the past, not just this month.

Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States 2021

Hello! Last year you contributed to Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in the United States. Thanks to people like you, it was a great success with over 1,000 people contributing almost 6,000 photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the country. Hundreds of these photos now help illustrate Wikipedia articles, improving our open knowledge about United States history, culture, and heritage. If you haven't seen the winners yet, be sure to check them out here.

I'm pleased to say that we're back this year with Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in the United States through the month of October, and I'd like to welcome you to participate once again in the event. Check out our updated event page for more information.

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2020, and we hope to see you again in this year's event! If you'd like to respond to this message directly, please do so on on my talk page. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 21:19, 11 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Street, Lafayette, Louisiana

Hi. I moved the file you uploaded as "Daigle House, Lafayette, LA.jpg" to File:House on Washington Street, Lafayette, Louisiana.jpg, per notes left on the file by @Doncram: . I noticed another possible issue: You state the photo date is 2016, while the EXIF says 2009. Which is correct, please? Thanks for your work, cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 20:05, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So the photos are from 2009. A friend took them for me on a trip, and found them years later, and checked if I still needed any of them. And that's definitely not the Daigle House... 25or6to4 (talk) 01:53, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much for the reply! Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 02:02, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
