Re: Temp undelete

I just checked Canadian Wikilivres but did not see the two files to be transferred. I do not know which tool facilitates such a transfer.--Jusjih (talk) 01:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

I asked Yann to finish the transfer, I don't have upload rights over there. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 04:29, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Hedwig und hallo, ich habe ein Problem mit der o.a. Datei. Offenbar ist da bei der OTRS-Freigabe was schief gelaufen (ich wusste nicht, wie man ein "pending" reinsetzt), und ich habe nach zwei Wochen Reaktivierung des Bildes beantragt. Heute hast du einen Hinweis an Nutzer KRD geschickt, er möge sich da was anschauen. Ich wollte unterstützend tätig sein und den folgenden Text posten:

Guten Tag, vielleicht meine Schuld. Da dies meine erste Bearbeitung war, habe ich im Freigabeassistent in meiner ersten Mail (Versand: 11. Okt. 16:22) zuerst angegeben, ich sei der Urheber (hab da wohl was überlesen). In einer zweiten Mail (11. Okt. 16:27) habe ich dann korrekt angegeben, beim Upload "nur" als Vertreter des Rechteinhabers zu fungieren. In dieser Mail fehlt neben dem von mir korrekt angegebenen Namen der Fotografin bestenfalls noch die E-Mail-Adresse, die ich hier öffentlich nicht angeben möchte. Gerne reiche ich sie aber intern (am besten direkt an Ansprechpartner) nach. Mittlerweile sollte ich das Verfahren aber verstanden haben und hoffe, künftig zurechtzukommen. Lieben Dank und beste Grüße

Leider bekam ich den Hinweis, die Löschdiskussion sei abgeschlossen, und ich soll nix mehr druntersetzen. Was nun? Es wäre schön, und ich wäre dankbar, wenn du mir kurz helfen könntest. Lieben Dank und herzliche Grüße --Wacken! (talk) 14:47, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

@Wacken!: Moin moin! Da ist noch eine Frage zu beantworten, siehe letzte email zu ticket:2016101110015307. LG, --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 21:17, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

@Hedwig in Washington: N'Amnd! Da kommt ein OTRS-Login, das ich nicht hacken kann - (zumindest nicht mit einem Normalo-Account, nehme ich an). Also kenne ich die Frage nicht. Ich könnte natürlich ein paar Antworten schreiben, und du schaust, ob die Frage dazu passt... :-) Spaß beiseite. Fakt ist, wir dürfen das Bild verwenden, und ich tue alles Nötige, damit es klar wird. Freue mich auf Antwort und sende rheinische Grüße --Wacken! (talk) 16:23, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

P.S. war vermutlich nicht so schlau (weil unnötig), dich auf deiner eigenen Seite anzupingen... --Wacken! (talk) 16:25, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Der ping war nicht noetig. Macht aber nischt. Ins OTRS system koennen nur wir, die OTRS Mitarbeiter. Also: Derjenige der die Freigabe an OTRS gemailt hat, sitzt seit geraumer Zeit auf einer Rueckantwort von einem ORTS Mitarbeiter. Mehr kann = darf ich oeffentlich nicht weitergeben. Siehe Commons:OTRS/de#So lässt du eine Genehmigung bestätigen. Nebenbei: Wer ist eigentlich wir (Ihr)? --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 02:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

File Renaming Requests for File:Republic of China Coast Guard Seal.svg and File:Emblem of Office of the President ROC.svg

Hi, I requested renaming File:Republic of China Coast Guard Seal.svg based on criterion #1 and File:Emblem of Office of the President ROC.svg based on criterion #4. Besides, I also gave the additional explanations. You declined both requests and only said them "do not comply with renaming guidelines", but without any concrete reason. You may look at Category:Coats of arms of Taiwan and Special:Contributions/Akira123, and you will see most seals, logos, and emblems of the central government of ROC (Taiwan) are consistently named in the scheme, "ROC_Department_Name_Seal/Logo/Emblem", with a significant number and percentage of files. What I am doing is to try to make the minority of files named in other formats to be revised in the same naming way. Moreover, following the footnote of file renaming criterion #4, it said that "files that form parts of a whole should follow the same naming convention so that they appear together, in order, in categories and lists." That is, I think my requests conform with criterion #4 To harmonize the file names of a set of images. If you still disagree, could you the specific reasons why they don't comply with renaming guidelines? Thanks a lot.--Akira123 (talk) 14:00, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Because there is no need to rename files that are used on many wikis for cosmetic reasons. The seals you want to rename are not from a set. I continue to oppose the renaming. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 00:25, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Pilarski & Korenchuk.jpg

Hi,

I'm briefly looking at restorations and see that you undeleted this file to examine the metadata/EXIF. Is there no other way to do that? If done frequently this makes a bit of a mess of any audit trail. @Steinsplitter: for ideas. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 14:10, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

There is no way to do it onwiki. You have to download the file and open it in a exif reader or restoring the file. :-( --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:13, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter: Sure, but an admin can access the file and download it locally for examination without taking a 'restore' action? --Fæ (talk) 14:22, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Yes. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:24, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

Well, that's how I do it. I don't want to go on a hunt to find a specific image on the web. I don't like the idea to restore the file here as well. Maybe there will be a better solution in one of the next releases. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 00:22, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Cactus piece.jpg

You asked for information on the source of the image File:Cactus piece.jpg. It's from a book published about 120 years ago. That information in the description and has been there since I originally uploaded that image over a decade ago.... Crypticfirefly (talk) 06:08, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

I noticed! Thank you for transferring the info! --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 01:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Warning

Since your fellow compatriots seem to be very unlikely to cooperate when inquired :) could you please tell to this user in your language that either he replies and stop ignoring my warnings or he's going to be blocked, please? -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 14:37, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

 Done @Blackcat: Feel free to swing the hammer if his behavior continues. I am a little doubtful that he will reply. There's not much talk from him on his home wiki talk either. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 01:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Ok thanks Hedwig, though I don't like to use the hammer. As much as I can I do prefer to talk to people rather that bashing a stick on their head... -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 08:35, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Photo Copyright

Hi, you made a warning on the page Work Permit because i added some photos concerning the subject. Why so ? Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ata Kurumsal (talk • contribs) 08:06, 03 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi! The permit and its design is owned by the Turkish Government and not yours to relicense. Best, --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 08:11, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Hedwig,

Yes, the metadata of my photos does say "No use permitted without author's consent", but then, I do give my consent by submitting under Creative Commons license, don't I?

Not that I want to quarrel, I'm just learning to do things properly.

Cheers, Greg

PS Other photos I did submit to Wikimedia Commonms have the same notice, and that was never an issue. :-/ --GJG (talk) 10:18, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

No problem. But a bunch of eyes will see that and you'll probably get a lot of request to change it. Since you just started, I thought it might be a good idea to do the few images now, instead of waiting and doing a lot later. Do you have the software to change your metadata? If not, there's a long and confusing list on en wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_metadata_editors --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 10:20, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's not an issue. I do proivide (limited) consent by invoking the CC lcensing, don't I?

What I really don't like is someone removing my work before the discussion even starts in earnest, as it happened in this case.

I did upload a new version with metadata changed, but I have an unpleasant aftertaste of the experience.

Deleted Picture

Hi, a few minutes ago you deleted the picture https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baumann-Michael.jpg that I recently uploaded. I have the permission of the photographer, he will send the permission soon per email to permissions-de@wikimedia.org Please restore the picture. Thanks and regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkfzentrum (talk • contribs) 11:06, 03 November 2016 (UTC)

Nope. Works the other way around. Permission first, then restoration. Let me know when the email is sent, include the ticket number, and I'll work on it asap. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 11:12, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

This is a photo I took of a public utility, that contained street art. i don't think there's a copyright infringement on my part. The person who painted the image probably used a vintage photo as their template.
