Overwriting images
edit- Hey. When you upload an image over an existing image, anything you put in the text box will showup next to the newer version upload information near the bottom of the page. For example, if you look at Image:12th Royal Scots Lewis gunners in gas masks 25-06-1918.jpg, you'll see the 3 images you uploaded after it say nothing. But, if you put something like "cropped image" in the text, it would say "cropped image" instead of nothing. It's kinda like the edit summary, but for images. Just a little tid-bit, not a mandatory thing, but helpful for folks looking at those things. MECU≈talk 21:41, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:St_Anne's_Limehouse_2.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading Image:St_Anne's_Limehouse_2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Tip: Categorizing images
edit
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.BotMultichillT 06:14, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

- The license information isn't on the source pages as yet (it's a known issue with all BL-hosted released content), but I'm sitting next to the IDP image manager, who's providing me with the material. I'll get an OTRS ticket sorted out to verify this if needed. Andrew Gray (talk) 12:18, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- Quick update - image copyright labels are on the IDP "to resolve" list. I've not normally worried with BL material before, but that was my personal account and the linkage was clear. Hmm. Andrew Gray (talk) 12:22, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Aurel Stein photos
editHi Andrew, I've noticed that your bot has uploaded a number of photos by Aurel Stein, e.g those in Category:Kharakhoto. As Stein died in 1943 his photos are still in copyright until 2014, so unless I'm missing something I think they need to be deleted from commons. BabelStone (talk) 12:42, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
- Have you had any more thoughts about these? Your bot has uploaded quite a large number of photos by Stein that are probably still in copyright, including some or all of the following. I think it best to delete them if we cannot be sure that IDP owns their copyright (if they do own their copyright then they are wrongly licensed), and reupload them in January 2014. BabelStone (talk) 23:14, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've finally managed to track down an answer to this. The IDP believe themselves to be the copyright holders of Stein's works, and are happy to release them as public domain-equivalent (which they're going to hit in thirteen months anyway). I think the best solution here is to relabel them {{CC-0}}, and leave a note to switch it come Jan 2014; I'll try to get this done before I go away at the weekend.
- Thanks again for chasing me up on these! Andrew Gray (talk) 11:39, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for following up on this. BabelStone (talk) 19:02, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Picture of the Year voting round 1 open
editDear 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

Welcome, Dear Filemover!
edit
Hi Andrew Gray, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:
- Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
- Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
- Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Hi Andrew,
Kudos fot the music manuscripts uplaod, these are beautiful.
Just so you know: {{PD-old}} is not a good template to use. It is the least precise template we have around and he is to be deprecated (well, someday).
{{PD-old-100-1923}} is a far better choice for your case here.
Cheers, Jean-Fred (talk) 22:48, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- One problem is that I don't know for sure these were all published in some form before 1923... Andrew Gray (talk) 10:02, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Philip Timms
editThanks for creating the Category:Philip T. Timms sub-cat. Do you have any more images by him in your archives? Our GLAM Canada user at en:wp is wondering how to approach the Vancouver Archives to see if they want to participate. User:The Interior is he, and probably easier to contact on his talk page at en:wp. I started a GLAM section there if you want to use that.--Canoe1967 (talk) 18:15, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks again for adding those. I am still trying to get my head around public domain copyright in Canada vs. USA copyright laws. I found a bunch of pictures on the net of w:Joe Fortes who died in 1922. Do images need to be created before 1923 to be public domain or published before 1923?--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- That is what I feared. We need to prove publication date or wait 120 years from date of creation, if unknown, or 70 pma if the author is known.--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:25, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
- It's certainly a bit of a mess. I do have at least one Fortes picture in the collection (IIRC) but it's not been uploaded yet - I'll do a little digging and see if we can find it. Andrew Gray (talk) 11:46, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

- Canada has more lax dates for public domain and I think someone mentioned that the US law is not being read correctly. One says that the US law makes works public domain in the US at the same time they become public domain in Canada. SeeTemplate:PD-Canada. I may email copyright.usa.gov and ask them. I have emailed my Canadian copyright minister a few times with no results. We did get results with the Canadian Space Agency when we emailed them they released all photos by our Canadians in space to the public domain the same as NASA does. Would you be interested in emailing copyright.ca and copyright.us if I can find their emails? My email address may seem odd to them and they may just dump them all in spam folders. I will ask at vp/copyright here and at en:wp first in case they may have a link to a discussion that settled it somewhere.--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:21, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
British Library - WiR and Labs
editGreetings -
Congratulations on your productive year at the BL! Also, the project page at w:WP:GLAM/BL is a wonderful model for our smaller project at w:WP:GLAM/GFPLM.
I am organizing an application and a team for the BL Labs Competition and was hoping you might be willing to answer a few questions about the feasibility of my project proposal (which is centered around the BL image collections and Wikimedia Commons). And yes, even though I'm in the US, I can still apply! Thanks for your time. Bdcousineau (talk) 02:28, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to get some proper teams in place now, so we can decide who will be doing what, and I wonder if you could go to Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in the United Kingdom/People and move your signature to the correct heading? Many thanks, MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:42, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
Girdwood
editRe: Category:British Library Photo 24 (Girdwood Collection)
My 2p of feedback is that I like the idea of having a Commons project page that explains the context of a collection. It might be an idea to add a couple of sentences to the catalogue page which currently is the parent of the project subpage and ensure that people are encouraged to follow the link to find out more. A tip from an experience I had with some Boston library collections of multiple prints, is to add these as other_versions of each other, and again ensure that the introduction to the category explains that some images in the category may be prints of the same negative, but have value in the future digital reconstruction or clean-up of images, so for these reasons it is helpful to retain multiple prints - an example being File:9th Gurkhas drawing rations at a French farm house St Floris, France (Photo 24-57).jpg and File:9th Gurkhas drawing rations at a French farm house St Floris, France (Photo 24-56).jpg. --Fæ (talk) 22:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
region categories for British Columbia
editAs I commented elsewhere, I've long been a critic of using regional districts for classifying topics and images from British Columbia. They are only one kind of governmental subdivision used in the province and their use in describing/classifying where something is is often not directly citable, and is in fact original research in many cases. Their names are often composed of the traditional/geographic regions laid out in here in Wikipedia, and in some cases, such as those in the Okanagan region, where there are three regional districts, it's clumsy to break such regions up that way; and in at least one of those cases, other areas not in the Okanagan (the Boundary and Similkameen regions) are included; the regional district names and origins are all political in nature; the region commonly called the West Kootenay is mostly the REgional District of Central Kootenay, for example; before that RDs naming the term "Central Kootenay" did not exist, and if used at all refers only to the operations and board of the regional district. Geographic studies and botanical and so on are often classified/cited by forest district, for example. Hospitals by Health Region and so on; BC Names uses Land Districts, which are the cadastral land-survey system's regions. All this by way of asking how to make categories within the Commons; many of the images I've been adding categories for I've pointedly not using the available regional district category, partly because of the research it would take to find out which one they're in......is there any way to bot-o-mate adding/creating categories by analyzing/parsing what wikipedia pages/categories given images are used on?Skookum1 (talk) 10:31, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- Probably not easily (you'd have to write one). Is it simpler to stick to town-based classification? Andrew Gray (talk) 10:34, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- No, because of the vast expanses of non-municipal land.....and also Indian Reserves are outside regional district governance, though in their cases there's an existing series of names which can be used for their territories/articles, some of which are already here I think. I think the mountain range categories are already in place, maybe not, and that includes plateaus and highlands and such, the parent of that is the Landforms category. Items like teh Mount Cheam image are relatively easy; Category:Chilliwack, British Columbia and Category:Cascade Mountains apply (or Category:North Cascades if it exists, it's actually in the Category:Skagit Range which is a subcat of that..... but for other mountains and localities, they're not anywhere near municipalities; ghost towns nearly all disappeared before regional districts were even created in 1966-67 by the way.....very awkward to say "in such-and-so a regional district" in those cases.....their available citations will be, as noted, by Land District (those can be as large as several US states, or on Vancouver Island a good dozen will fit in one US county, it's a very out of date system but the basis of legal land regulation...). So I can just create categories then, as in Wikipedia?Skookum1 (talk) 10:42, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
- I just created Category:Canadian Cascades, see Category talk:Cascade Range re the redundancy of Category:Cascade Mountains, which I'm about to depopulate and should be a redirect to "Cascade Range".Skookum1 (talk) 06:01, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

I suppose you uploaded this. This file is broken. Any reason to keep it? Best regards, Yann (talk) 13:02, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
- Apologies for the delay - I've been travelling and wasn't able to reply sooner. I can reupload it, but before I do - do you remember what the problem with this file was? You noted "404 error" but I'm not sure what that means. Andrew Gray (talk) 21:23, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

editBL Mechanical Curator image script
editHi Andrew!
I've made a suggestion at Commons_talk:British_Library/Mechanical_Curator_collection#Templates to change the {{British Library image}} template added by the Commons:British Library/Mechanical Curator collection/script in favour of a new template, more specific to the BL 1million image collection.
You're the expert in this area (and it's your script and your template!), so your thoughts would be invaluable. All best, Jheald (talk) 13:26, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Advice on British Library classmarks
editHi Andrew. I've been wrangling metadata with a view to trying to use the new GWtoolset system for an automated upload of the set of 430 BL Images Online images recently released to Flickr,
http://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/sets/72157640831988343/
I've got the following shelfmarks. For the {{British Library image}} template, can you tell me which ones I should be recognising as needing the ms-shelfmark parameter, as opposed to the ordinary shelfmark ? Are there patterns? I know the numeric ones are likely to be standard books, but I'm not sure how to distinguish the rest. Also, is there anything in the classmarks that jumps out at you as needing cleanup, in order for them to go smoothly with the template? (Some of the titles I know have a problem, but that I can deal with separately)

Thanks, Jheald (talk) 17:50, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hope you don't mind me flooding your talk page with the above. A bit more digging suggests I may be in trouble -- especially, the "Add." items appear to be utterly mixed between items in the main catalogue and items in the manuscript catalogue (which I believe really ought to be shelfmarked "Add. MS". I may need to sort by date, and try to fix it by hand from there.
- The BL search engines also seem to be rather picky -- especially if the search term is in quotes, which the template does automatically. For example, Add. 23920 works, but "Add. 23920" (with quotes) doesn't. There also seems to be no particular way to specify a search by classmark -- I'm guessing it's doing a very literal text search.
- What appears to be needed is "Add.23,920", but then that pulls up all the contents, which the top level container item then gets lost in. (In any case there seems to be no scope for hierarchical browsing, so if one did happen to be at the container item, e.g. by putting in the new BL system number for it, there seems to be no way to get to its content, even though that content is in the system). So I'm not even sure what the right answer is, that I ought to be putting in to the template, even having done all the discovery. And I'm not looking forward to having to do a similar process, for all 430 objects. Any advice as to what in your view is going to be the best way forward? Jheald (talk) 20:48, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- ... while Add. 27254 or Add.Or.4973 I can't seem to find in any of the catalogues. Jheald (talk) 20:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, lots of answers follow!
- First of all, it's important to remember that a lot of this is really old data. As in, transcribed onto computer in the early nineties, verbatim from slips in the old central index, and with very little standardisation - it was intended for human lookup. So "Additional MS 23920" might be "Add. MS. 23920", "Add. 23920", "Additional 23920" - or any of the above with commas in the thousands place. Ultimately, we're working against a pretty variable record which is fine for a competent human user but problematic for automated matching like we want to do.
- When using either Explore catalogue, it's often a lot more reliable to give a system number than the shelfmark - eg/ File:A Description of Fonthill Abbey and Desmene - John Rutter (1822).pdf or File:South East View of Whitby Abbey, Wardale, 1812 (Maps K. Top. 44.53.d).jpg. This is not desirable, since we have to look them up by hand, but it's at least predictable in its results. I may be able to get system numbers for these for you - if you drop me an email I'll put you in touch with someone at the BL digital curator team.
- The standard catalogue cannot search against shelfmark - it has to do a keyword search against the whole record to see this field. However, the MS one can by doing a field search on "reference code", but I never figured out how to construct a search string for it.
- Most Add. MS. material should (as the name suggests) be in the MS catalogue, but for Reasons there are bits in both. I believe in the case of Add. 23920 it's because it's grouped with the cartographic items - note that you can find the same record in both. One additional complication is that the MS catalogue does not contain all manuscript/artwork items (yet) - some is not yet electronic, such as the Oriental Collections (your Add.Or.4973) and some of the older material is mainly covered by the Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts - definitely the case for the Royal MS, generally speaking. It is quite possible that some of these items just will not have a catalogue entry to point to.
- Again, drop me an email and I'll put you in touch. I actually owe them an email about this collection anyway :-) Andrew Gray (talk) 21:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, one last thing. Identifying - it's not incredibly easy to pattern-match, but generally speaking anything that is solely numeric or just numbers and single letters (eg 1786.c.9 or C.58.cc.1.(2)) is a book. Cup. is "cupboard" - large books. "I.O." is India Office and probably on MS catalogue but may not be there at all. Maps unexpectedly includes a lot of "illustrations of places", sketches and photographs, rather than just maps - but should be on the MS catalogue. P.P. is periodicals (?) - not sure where. Almost everything else, especially if it has a word in there (eg Royal, Yates Thompson, etc) is MS. Andrew Gray (talk) 21:55, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

- Not seeing it... Which address did you send it to? Andrew Gray (talk) 15:37, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
- Sent to [omitted], split over three separate emails -- cover email / detailed to-do file / xml of the metadata. 14:41, 14:42, 14:48 Jheald (talk) 15:42, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Some additions to the British Library image template
editHi! I've been tinkering with the {{British Library image}} template. I hope you don't mind. I wanted to check in with you before I start uploaded.
I've added a few more fields and a bit more plumbing (so far not documented, and only in the English version). Please let me know if you think it's okay, or whether there are better ways to call things and better ways to do things.
They can be seen in action at User:Jheald/sandbox/test2, or rather its various subpages
Fields added:
- cim-msid, cim-coll, cim-nstart
- -- used to specify parameters for the Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts, which appears as " - Illustrated catalogue" when available. cim-msid is used preferentially, otherwise cim-coll and cim-nstart
- ios-record-id, ios-shelfmark
- -- attempts to send people to a details page of the India Office Special Material catalogue. However, this currently mostly fails at the moment with a 404, unless a search for the item has recently been made through the catalogue. So it may be necessary just to dump people at the search screen. (I wasn't sure what the existing ios did, or was intended to do, so I've left it alone).
Plumbing added:
- dips
- -- now pulls up the corresponding page in the online manuscript viewer
Fields added:
- ms-digi
- -- variant of ms-shelfmark with underscores, to link to the Digitised Manuscript project's information page for the MS. Usually specified with dips, in which case it produces "(info)". Otherwise produces " - Digitised manuscript"
- hasLicense
- -- to shut off the licensing nag message
I have only used ms-shelfmark when I have verified that the item does have an entry in the Archives & Manuscripts catalogue, rather than let people come up with nothing; which is why I've added the ios-shelfmark and ms-digi, which otherwise could perhaps have been constructed from ms-shelfmark. But not sure whether this is the best strategy -- should I have put up a link to the Archives & Manuscripts search anyway, because one day it might lead to something (and the parametrisation would have been more unified). Or is this way better, because more flexible, and only showing what actually exists. (And presumably there is a chance the present web urls and presentation etc may get changed completely, before much more gets added to any of the catalogues).
Anyhow, wanted to let you know what I'd been up to, before I uploaded any pic descriptions with these parameters, in case there is a Much Better Way to Do it. Cheers, Jheald (talk) 21:11, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- And one more:
- ios-photo-coll
- -- collection ID for India Office Select Materials photographs, eg 117 for Photo 21/.
- ios-photo-coll
- I could have linked to catalogue entries for individual photographs, but the ones I looked at weren't very informative, and gave no way to step back up the hierarchy. Linking to the collection level allows the set to be browsed, with the possibility to step down to the specific entry. Jheald (talk) 12:27, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- These look awesome - well done, and please do feel free to overwrite! My ios is unused because I could never get that to work properly. How are you using the CIM entries? IIRC, those all have to be looked up by hand, which is a bit irritating. Andrew Gray (talk) 22:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
- The files are now slowly uploading to Category:Images_released_by_British_Library_Images_Online. Unfortunately for my carefully constructed filenames, the uploader doesn't like any of my commas, brackets or apostrophes -- looks like I picked the right week to get the file renaming bit set. It also produces rather messy upload page code; but I guess that's the kind of thing one has just to deal with, if one is going to use v0.1 software. I also should have made the 'defaultsort' a bit more cunning within each volume. But never mind; it's not a bad start, I think.
- The nice thing about the CIM entries is that the catalogue is fairly tolerant -- you don't usually need all three. Usually it's enough to specify the coll and the nstart, the coll being fixed for each collection, and the nstart being the numerical part of each reference (with the exception of the Royal MSS, which are coded in a fairly straightforward way; and the Cotton MSS, which haven't been done yet. It's only if you get an MS with lots of different suffices that you really need the msid parameter, which I only had one of.
- Having looked at the Girdwood Collection, I now realise that Photo 21 could have been pointed to the Manuscripts search instead, which would have saved some trouble. In truth, I haven't really got IOS to work properly either -- my additions to the template unfortunately just give 404s -- so as noted above I will probably just dump people at the search screen instead. But it's all a start. Jheald (talk) 01:29, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
Girdwood photographs
editI've now begun going through Category:Images released by British Library Images Online, starting at the back with the 5 Girdwood images now in Category:British Library Photo 21 (India Office Official Record of the Great War)
A couple of questions:
- The descriptions in the online catalogue at Photo 21/ date each of these to 1915. But this clearly isn't correct -- for instance the wrecked Zeppelin is from September 1916, and both the tank and the Sopwith Camel weren't introduced until 1917. So all of the 1915 dates appear questionable (as your Commons Girdwood page suggests). Are there any good places to look for clues for the correct dates, so I can correct the misleading filenames that I made?
- What's the copyright status? Clearly the images are PD in the United States. But Girdwood was a commercial photographer, and lived until 1964; so one would have thought the images might be still under copyright in the EU until January 1st 2035. Are there any grounds for thinking they may not be in copyright -- eg that they might be Crown Copyright that has expired? Or that Girdwood or his heirs and assigns may have sold or given up the copyright? Just thought I should check. Jheald (talk) 13:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- It seems from the "Great War in Stereoviews" site [1] that many of the photographs were issued as "Crown Copyright". This would make sense if Girdwood was at this time an employee of the Crown, and the images were created as part of his work as an employee. Crown copyright would (on current rules) have expired after 50 years; i.e. on 1 January 1966 for photographs taken in 1915.
- On the other hand, Google Books turned up one of the 1916 United States copyright registers, which show a number of pictures in that year being registered by Girdwood's company "Realistic Travels". [2] (pages 305-306 / frames 317-318 of the PDF). The Australian National Library also turns up a set of views of Palestine, again with copyright registered by Realistic Travels [3] (now expired under Australian law).
- I suppose it also might be possible that Girdwood was acting as a freelance on commission to the Crown, who was then allowed to license back his own photographs. If I understand the law correctly in that scenario, the pictures would be subject to copyright for life + 70, ie until 2035; but the copyright would belong to the Crown, so it could be released CC0 if the appropriate department decided to do so.
- I see from your page on Girdwood that there was a lengthy wrangle about copyright which seriously held up the release of his cine films. But AFAICS you don't record what the outcome was, or what the position was for his still pictures.
- I'm particularly interested in eg the picture of the wrecked Zeppelin, India Office frame / stereopair, which on the face of it Girdwood would not have needed to be a Crown employee to gain access to. On the other hand, if he was a Crown employee, on the payroll to produce morale-boosting photographs, this would be just such a photograph. Is any more known? Jheald (talk) 20:52, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
- I think the answer is "Girdwood is really, really, awfully complicated", and it's not helped by a lot of deliberate murkiness around the man and his business. :-)
- Anything after September 1915 is probably private work not as a government employee - I think they'd more or less sacked him by then. He definitely wanted marketable propaganda pictures, but for the purposes of selling them himself.
- I am guessing the confident release of these came from the fact that the album is titled "Official Record", suggesting they're all government photographs. However, even if it was licensed to the India Office at life+70 (I'm a little hazy on whether that would indeed be the case), the responsible body - bizarrely - may actually be the British Library - they hold the archives. The matter is further complicated by the fact that some of this may have been first published in the US; and by the fact that RT marketed a lot of material taken by other contributors (there's photographs from Gallipoli in their sets, for example) and some of these got attributed to him. For example, the Snipe photo - if actually taken in France in 1918 - is definitely not Girdwood; there's no way they would have allowed him back, and in any case he was probably in America by then. I am tempted to call these de minimis and not look too closely ;-) Andrew Gray (talk) 21:11, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
- Looking closely at the others, the tank photo is strangely familiar (though he could of course have taken an iconic photo!) but either way, I suspect it's not his own work - reason as above. The zeppelin photo could well be his (note the mysterious film in 1916) but it's definitely an "outsider" photo - if you look closely, the photographer is unambiguously on the far side of the security cordon, and being watched carefully by the guards in the foreground. I can't imagine a photographer with official access and authority wouldn't have gone around to the side or shooed them away... Andrew Gray (talk) 23:16, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

About to transclude Scotland
editWarning: I'm about to transclude Scotland and Ireland to separate sub-pages, as just done for Germany and France. Should improve edit responsiveness. Jheald (talk) 12:22, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- Good idea. I was actually wondering whether I should suggest something similar :-)
- Linking (and making sure they show up seperately on the to-do list) might be better than transcluding, though - with transclusion, you still need to re-render the full page each time it's edited, which makes for a big delay. Andrew Gray (talk) 12:27, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- That depends which of the pages you're editing. If you're editing Scotland, it will only re-render Scotland. If you're editing England, you're right at the moment it will still have to re-render the whole thing. But devolution to the English regions is coming! Jheald (talk) 12:42, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, of course - I forgot that editing from the master page will mean you end up on the subpage after saving. Andrew Gray (talk) 12:45, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
Transclusions are all in place now. Hit this effect though, which just seems weird. Breaking things up ought to make things quicker, because it should be possible to detect that 90% is unedited, and therefore clean, so ought to be possible just to pull from cache.
Is it anything that you've ever run across, or looked into? Jheald (talk) 15:47, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion for scanning old books
editHello Andrew, We are on the process of a GLAM project here in Calcutta, India. There are several old books/periodicals need to be digitised. Unfortunately, they are in a pretty bad shape. Can you suggest a good scanner for this kind of project ? We are very much interested to hear from you about the procedure you have taken.So, if you can share your experience, it would be great. Thanks, Schwiki (talk) 18:50, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Schwiki - sorry about the delay in replying, I've been travelling. Unfortunately I haven't done a great deal of archival digitisation myself and so can't say much about the details. I know that the BL's equipment was very high end (& accordingly expensive!).
- Generally speaking, if you have fragile bound material, you probably want an overhead scanner (a camera held above the item) rather than a standard flat-bed scanner (where you place it face down on the glass). This works better with bound volumes, avoids stressing the spine, and reduces the amount of wear on the paper. It's the approach the large-scale book-scanning projects use.
- I use a small Fujitsu SV-600 at work for scanning journal articles; the software is pretty bad and will only produce PDFs, but the idea is sound and you might be able to find something similar which produces TIFFs or JPEGs.
- An alternative is to build one - an overhead scanner is really not much more complex than a digital camera on a stick plus some software to deskew the pictures. There are some kits to build book scanners yourself and I've heard good things about them (see eg this article) - if you already have access to suitable cameras and are willing to do some construction work, this might be a good approach.

- Wikimedia Argentina has some experience with DIY scanners: see http://www.wikimedia.org.ar/proyectos/promocion-de-instituciones-culturales/digitalizacion/ and mailarchive:wikisource-l/2014-September/002068.html. However, it might be easier to work with Internet Archive, which has a big scanning centre in China: https://blog.archive.org/2015/04/15/internet-archive-and-cadal-partner-to-digitize-500000-academic-texts/ --Nemo 21:16, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Schwiki The Internet Archive is well known for its scribe station, which can be seen in action on youtube. AIP Engineering, the creators of the scribe station, have some information on their website. The beauty of the design is that it uses regular DSLR cameras. A multi-use and budget-friendly solution. Other than that there's a scan project run by Austrian Wikipedian Hubertl (German project page). He uses a Bookeye4 scanner for the scans which can be found at Category:BDA-Scan. I also recommend having a look at diybookscanner.org. Your collection's condition will effectively determine the degree of automatisation. Torn, burnt, water-damaged, etc. pages will require more care and slow down the process. For large collections, commercial solutions like Treventus' ScanRobot 2.0 MDS might be more interesting. Would be great if you have any additional information on your collection's condition, size and budget. Regards, Christoph Braun (talk) 23:55, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Could somebody with experience in this area write all this up as a help page? Andy Mabbett (talk) 09:14, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Thank you very much Andrew Gray, Nemo and Christoph Braun for your valuable suggestions. Yes, Andy Mabbett, I am aligned with your thought process. A help page would do a lot for us to begin.
Actually, we are also thinking of getting a Overhead scanner.
Can you please specify the optimum dpi specification for this kind of scanned document (like 72dpi or 300dpi), most suitable for OCR purpose and djvu-conversion for wikisource ?
Thanks in advance.
With best regards,
Schwiki (talk) 18:51, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
Dear Andrew Gray, Nemo , Christoph Braun and Andy Mabbett,
We are working on the GLAM project in "Kolikata Little Magazine Library o Gabeshana Kendra". I mentioned few months back that we are in search of a good scanner for scanning old books. Now we are quite satisfied with the FUJITSU Image Scanner ScanSnap SV600 . This overhead scanner provides a very high quality scan and you can check the quality of scanned books in the following link. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Scanned_periodicals_from_Kolikata_Little_Magazine_Library_o_Gabeshana_Kendra I recommend this scanner for the GLAM projects for digitising old books.Currently we are woking with the books published in 1881-82. Would like to get your feedback ! Thanks in advance. --Schwiki (talk) 12:11, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States - Thank You!
editHi 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)

to your userpage!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)

to your userpage!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.

Check out our updated event page for more information, including updated tips, lists, and prizes. Like last year, you'll be able to upload your new photos of any registered historical site in the United States through the end of September (even if the photos were taken before this month).

Eight days into Wiki Loves Monuments
editThank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK | |
Thank you for submitting your photos to the competition, it really helps improve our coverage of historic sites. Photos from this year are already being used on Wikipedia - though it may take a while for the monuments map to catch up so don't be disheartened if some pins haven't turned blue yet.
WLM runs until the end of the month, so please add more and invite other people to take part. We are within touching distance of 1,000 photos for the UK, putting us just behind the United States in 14th place out of 49 countries taking part. Let's see if we can jump a few places! If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message here or contact me directly at [email protected]. |
An update from Wiki Loves Monuments UK
editThank you for taking part in Wiki Loves Monuments UK | |
More than 300 people have contributed a total of 4,000 photos to this year's competition and we wanted to say thank you for helping us get this far. The competition runs until the end of September, and you can upload as many images as you want - so feel free to document some more sites. Or why not go through your old images to see if you have any others that could be submitted?
Since you've already submitted some pictures to the competition, you might be interested in the banner mini-contest; to take part you crop your images to a 7:1 and upload a new version. You can find out more about how to do that here. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the competition and share it with others! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:24, 22 September 2017 (UTC) |

De l'imposant château aux ruines industrielles, de la chapelle au coin de la rue aux mégalithes en forêt, c'est un impressionnant patrimoine qui attend d'être photographié et documenté. Où que vous soyez il y a des monuments autour de chez vous. Enfin, vous pouvez mettre en ligne autant de photos que vous le souhaitez de ces monuments. Pour information, le règlement est disponible sur le site du concours. Nous attendons vos photos avec impatience !
Les plus belles photos seront sélectionnées par un jury national composé d'amateurs et de professionnels, de contributeurs à Wikimedia Commons et d'acteurs du patrimoine. Un jury international sélectionnera ensuite des meilleures photographies mondiales.
Si vous avez des questions, l'équipe organisatrice se fera un plaisir d'y répondre.
P.S. : vous recevez ce message parce que vous avez participé au concours Wiki Loves Monuments en France les années précédentes. Si vous avez déjà ou si ne pouvez pas participer au concours cette année, faites passer le message autour de vous pour que de nouveaux et nouvelles photographes rejoignent l'aventure !

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2019!
editHi
Thank you so much for contributing to the UK section of this year's Wiki Loves Monuments contest, which finished yesterday. We really do appreciate the time and effort you've put in to record the UK's built cultural heritage for future generations.
Your contribution has been been added to our collections here on Wikimedia Commons, and is already available for editors to make use of on Wikipedia and elsewhere. It has also been entered into this year's contest. If you'd like to see your own images, just click on the uploads link at the top right of this page (if you don't see it, click on the Log in option first).
We've received over 10,000 UK entries this year, and it will take a few weeks for our volunteers and professional judges to decide on the final top 10. The winners will be announced by the end of this month, both here on Wikimedia Commons and also on the competition website.
The top 10 UK images will go forward to the international section where they will compete against winners from some 50 other countries. The international winners should be announced here in December.
Don't forget, by the way, that if you're hoping to win a prize in the contest it's essential that you have enabled email in your Wikimedia preferences. If you haven't, you're not eligible to win. If you're unsure, please check here.
Once again, many thanks for your help! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
Important message for file movers
editA 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)
