Removing reference and identification numbers from file names set by their uploader [ edit ]

Exceptions for discussion: Situations were reference and identification numbers became meaningless or ambiguous or if they contain errors [ edit ]

My personal understanding is that the general rule of not removing reference or identification numbers from files is already sufficiently covered in our current renaming guidance. The proposal above originated from a discussion at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#Independent_opinions_requested_for_the_removal_of_FR_rights_for_Tm and the proposal above is imho currently neutral on the actual topic discussed there. Namely which of the rules currently included in the current renaming guidance should take preference if there are conflicting situations. So, the question I have is if the above proposal is meant to imply that the references or unique identification numbers in file names created at the time of original upload, should be kept, even if they became meaningless or ambiguous or contain errors. If you wish to !vote, the sub-proposal here, it is to restrict the above proposal by unless they became meaningless or ambiguous or unless they contained errors, as all of which are currently valid reasons for file renaming. Hypothetical examples from the list above include:

File:Deinacrida heteracantha White, 1842 (AM AMNZ88535).jpg an upload from the Auckland Museum collection using their catalogue number for traceability.

In case the Auckland Museum corrects an error with regard to their original catalogue number at their homepage which is the source of the file, the proposal is to allow the correction of the error in the filename in Commons as well, as the original catalogue number used by the uploader became meaningless

File:Akoya met haar dienstmeisje-Rijksmuseum RP-P-OB-JAP-4.jpeg a GLAMWiki toolset upload from the Rijks with catalogue number.

If a toolset systematically imports incorrect catalogue numbers due to a software error, the proposal is to allow the correction of the error in the filename as the original numbers contained errors

File:A baby being baptised (15909273062).jpg upload project for a specific photographer, including the standard Flickr Photo ID reference which can be used to back-track to the source even if the rest of the information is changed or lost.

In case the file does not originate from Flickr but the file is just re-published on Flicker as a secondary source with an incorrect license, the proposal is to allow the update of the reference to the correct source and license as the original identifier is ambiguous

Looking forward to the discussion. Thanks --Schlurcher (talk) 12:24, 10 September 2020 (UTC)--

This is fine as a qualification. However it's not always obvious which is the "better" identity to apply. The IA books project has been done consistently using Internet Archive identities and it's now reached over 630,000 books uploaded. Clearly, though many of the books may have OCLC numbers available and OCLC is a great standard to use normally, because of the very large number of files in the one project, it would not be helpful to start changing IA identities in filenames to OCLCs. However as many most have the OCLC already in the book template on the image page, it's already standard to include OCLCs or other external standard book identifiers within the wikitext rather than the filename. By the way, this thread was not intended as a proposal to amend COM:FR. However it may be sensible to add a very brief qualification to the when not to rename section, so there is no doubt in future disputes. --Fæ ( talk ) 11:04, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Template:Nofacebook showing

This file has been released under a license which is incompatible with Facebook's licensing terms. It is not permitted to upload this file to Facebook.

seems to be at odds with the document it uses as reference: meta:Legal/CC BY-SA licenses and social media , which is a legal opinion about how to comply with CC BY-SA while posting on social media. Our statement in that template seem to be false. -- Jarekt talk ) 17:00, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

I generally like uniform treatment of all the content without great many personal templates and instructions. {{Nofacebook}} should be either added to all files for which it applies or to none. However I understand that a lot of photographers do like to control reuse of their contributions and are frustrated with people using their files without proper attribution (I share this frustration). To me adding templates like {{Nofacebook}} is not going to resolve the issue, but I am OK with modifying templates like {{Nofacebook}} to convey that the photographer's preference is that the file is not being used on facebook, as it is hard to fulfill the attribution requirements of the license. However that preference is not binding. --Jarekt (talk) 15:42, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

A template like no facebook is basically a service to people. 99% of world population do post media files on social platforms or not at all. And this social platforms are facebook, facebook, facebook, facebook and twitter (instagram, tiktok, snapchat do exist, but are for original content). Poeple do not understand licenses and they do not understand that a generic "not public domain" does apply to them: They are not Warner, Bertelsmann, Sony. They do not post media for money. They only share something they themselves found on the internet with their less than 10000 friends. Copyright does not apply to this sharing. And wikipedia is for free. you can copy anything from wikipedia and it is not piracy... An image like the "no facebook" with a red cross over it, may actually be something that people will notice and maybe understand: Oh, that is me. I have to obey copyright. --C.Suthorn ( talk ) 21:19, 11 September 2020 (UTC) IMO, {{Not public domain}} is a better option to emphasize the need for attribution. People reusing CC licensed material without even the barest attempt at attribution is not a problem unique to social media, so a template specific to social media (or indeed a single site) seems unnecessary. clpo13 (talk) 16:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Comment IMO, as the statement on the template is false, the text should be either modified or the template deleted. Also agreed with Jarekt about the need of uniform treatment, so if an additional statement is really needed then maybe it is better to target the wanted license templates and to add there the statement needed. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:22, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Christian Ferrer 17:22, 11 September 2020 (UTC) Comment Aside from attribution, another possible issue that comes to mind with social media and Creative Commons licenses is that of additional restrictions. From what I understand, CC licenses do not allow reusers to apply additional legal restrictions and/or technological measures (i.e., DRM) that restrict or prevent recipients of the licensed work from exercising the rights granted under the CC license. If a social media site has a terms of use provision along the lines of "You may not download or save any content that you did not create, except for personal usage" and a CC-licensed work is uploaded to the site by someone who is not the work's copyright holder, the question comes up as to whether the site's terms of use provision would be an additional restriction on the reuse of the CC-licensed work and whether the uploader has violated the terms of the CC license. This CC FAQ entry is relevant but it may not fully cover the issue. (To be sure, there is the question as to how many users actually read through the terms of use for each and every Web site...) --Gazebo ( talk ) 05:39, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I nominated it for deletion. See Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Nofacebook. --Jarekt (talk) 13:15, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Request for "censored versions" of PHL landmarks' photos in light with no FOP [ edit ]

Good morning from the Philippines. May I request for "censored versions" of photos of selected Philippine buildings, sculptures, and other landmarks in light with the recent no freedom of panorama deletion requests? I got this idea from the already, existing censored photos at Category:Blacked out versions of images relying on FoP, such as File:Atomium 010-censored.png and File:Censored - European Parliament as result of no Freedom of Panorama.PNG, both edited by Romaine, and File:Puhane Eiffelturm Nacht-censored.jpg which was edited by SPQRobin.

The edited ("censored") versions will be put at new category titled Category:Blacked out versions of images relying on FoP in the Philippines, grouped under Category:Blacked out versions of images relying on FoP.

Landmarks to be "censored" due to "no Wiki-acceptable freedom of panorama in the Philippines", with their photo references or suggested photo to be used

* Bonifacio Monument, Caloocan - File:BonifacioMonumentjf9933 13.JPG

* Rizal Monument, Calamba - File:Largest Rizal Monument (cropped).jpg

* PBCom Tower - File:PBCom Tower, Makati.jpg * City of Dreams Manila - File:City of Dreams Manila view from the pool deck 2.jpg

SM Mall of Asia - File:SM Mall of Asia wide pan.jpg (suggestion: also to be censored is its Globe fixture)

* TriNoma mall building File:0541jfQuezon City West North Footbridge SM North EDSA Avenuefvf 04.jpg

* GSIS/Senate Building - File:Facade of the Senate of the Philippines.jpg

Cultural Center Main Theater building - File:CCP (Roxas Blvd., Pasay)(2019-03-14).JPG

* Manila Film Center - File:Manila film center.jpg

* Filipino-Chinese Friendship Arch - File:WTMP Team Waka Waka B-20.JPG

* Eternal Flame of Freedom Corregidor - File:Eternal Flame of Freedom (Front).jpg

Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkhia Mosque - File:Sultan Hajji Hassanal Bolkhia Mosque 5.jpg

Unless otherwise, all photos are from here (Commons) and are under deletion requests. Hope this request will be granted as soon as possible. Thanks. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 03:59, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Additional landmarks to be given the same treatment

Divine Mercy Shrine, El Salvador, Misamis Oriental - File:Divine Mercy Christ - 2.JPG

* Nine Muses of the Arts at University of the Philippines - File:UP CALjf3065 10.JPG * Leyte Landing Memorial - File:McArthur Landing.jpg * Tektite Building - File:Tektite At Night.JPG

Ayala Museum - File:AyalaMuseumMakati.jpg

I found one of my restorations on Alamy [ edit ]

[4] which is File:Ivan Logginovitch Goremykin, c. 1906 (cropped).jpg. Although I think they upscaled it, because the dimensions given aren't the original ones, which is kinda bad too.

They also have [5] which I think they meant to steal from my work, but got the wrong file. It's from File:Levi_Morton_-_Brady-Handy_portrait_-_Original_LoC_scan.tif which is just the unedited TIFF, unless I'm horribly mistaken.

Of course, these are just the ones they say they stole. There may be others. Now, I don't mind people using my work. But this feels... scummy. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:35, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I recently heard that this file that I uploaded had been copied to Alamy and was being offered for sale. It certainly felt pretty scummy, but in that case, it wasn't illegal (it's a PD file). Nevertheless, my friend contacted them and they took it down. The user who uploaded it there was Matteo Omied (I'm only saying that in case they're running a bot or something here; it looked like they had tens of thousands of images for sale on Alamy, I don't know how many come from Commons). — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs

It is encouraging to hear the case from Sam, so it actually may be worth emailing Alamy and politely ask for it to be removed; presuming a black mark of some sort on the uploader. Unfortunately these type of companies that rely on profiting from copyfraud, are likely to be comfortable with scummy behaviour, and mostly require a take-down notice before doing anything. If this does not go anywhere, have the satisfaction that we agree with you that only unethical arseholes knowingly profit from copyfraud. Were there a CC-BY-SA license here, a take-down would have legal weight, and meaningful consequences if ignored. --Fæ ( talk ) 09:21, 14 September 2020 (UTC)



Few more I found:

[7] and [8] are both File:Charlotte Perkins Gilman c. 1900.jpg - you can tell from the edges; there was major damages to the edges on this photo, and it's unlikely someone would make exactly the same decisions.

[9] of File:Set_design_by_Philippe_Chaperon_for_Act4_sc2_of_Aida_by_Verdi_1880_Paris.jpg - the file name is literally what they named the upload!

[10] File:Haydée,_ou_Le_secret_Act_II_-_Philippe_Chaperon.jpg - Besides using the filename again, the big tell here is I fixed the chipped red paint on the coats. You can also tell because they uploaded my "- Original" idiosyncratic naming as [11]

[12] - File:Philippe_Chaperon_-_Rigoletto.jpg (Less certainty on this one, as it's hard to tell zoomed out.

[13] of File:Carrie_Chapman_Catt_-_National_Woman's_Party_Records.jpg Not only does it copy our filename, but that squaring off the corners was all me.

It's happened to me as well: File:Bain News Service. LOC ggbain.07321. Lady Ashburton (cropped).jpg has appeared here, including my hard work at removing scratches.

Why are these tags using italic text? I don't see other PD tags doing that ({{PD-old-70}}, {{PD-anon-70-EU}}, {{PD-US-expired}}, {{PD-1996}})...

-B RAINULATOR 9 (TALK) 00:28, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Probably for no reason in particular. Most likely scenario: Somebody made a template way back in the 2000's and just thought it looked good. People copied the code when they made new templates and just kept the italics. Nobody noticed that most other templates don't use italics (or nobody cared enough) so nobody unified the design. --El Grafo ( talk ) 09:57, 16 September 2020 (UTC) Would it make more sense to undo the italics for consistency?

Pre-fill Special:MovePage/File:Kangxi_Style_Kangxi_Radical_001.svg with right values for 200+ renames [ edit ]

I have 200+ renaming following a known patern. Following mw:API:Move I try to build convenient "Rename" url with prefilled parameters from , to , reason . I get an error message :

{ "error": { "code": "mustpostparams", "info": "The following parameter was found in the query string, but must be in the POST body: token.", "*": "See https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php for API usage.

Unsourced medical statements in images [ edit ]

Is there any Commons policy that objects to a file like File:Signs of PPD 1.png, where an editor has made an infographic of "Signs of paranoid personality disorder" with no cited source, and which may be their own original research? There are several such graphics from the same uploader. --Lord Belbury (talk) 15:00, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

@Lord Belbury: Commons does not have a policy against original research (after all, almost every original photograph is original research!) but if you think the information is inaccurate, you can use {{Fact}} and cite your source that contradicts it. - Jmabel ! talk 15:33, 16 September 2020 (UTC) If Commons is fine with original research and not particularly alarmed at original research offering medical tips, fair enough. I'm not going to check 13 different fields of mental health research to decide whether these are all reasonable summaries of each condition, I'll just go with {{References missing}} and check the images aren't being used on Wikipedia. Thanks for the clarification. --Lord Belbury ( talk ) 15:55, 16 September 2020 (UTC) Thanks Lord Belbury, seems good. These images should then be sourced themselves on in articles. Up to the wikipedias to monitor those. Yug (talk) 19:29, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

User:name/common.js : limit for renaming files ? [ edit ]

I will use my common.js to rename 200 files from a project I'am working on. The renaming have been calmly discussed by the project's contributors for 3 years. The lights are green. Should I declare my "mass"-rename action somewhere ? slow down my script ? There should be some best practices but I saw nothing on mw:API:Move. Yug (talk) 16:06, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

It may conflict with COM:BOTS. Ruslik0 ( talk ) 19:50, 16 September 2020 (UTC) This is a small rename task. To worry about a more formal consensus or even requesting bot permission, this would mean something like a regular housekeeping task, or one that might mean something like 100x the changes you are planning. Suggest that you throttle the changes to 4/min or fewer, just so that nobody worries about recent changes being overwhelmed. --Fæ ( talk ) 12:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Even in your wiki entry it says it underwent extensive renovations, and under the Marcos admin "The old Palace was gutted almost entirely, not only to meet the needs of the Presidential Family, but also because the buildings had been weakened by patch up renovations over a century that had resulted in unstable floors and leaking roofs. The building is now made of poured concrete, concrete slabs, steel girders and trusses, all concealed under elegant hardwood floors, panels and ceilings. It is fully bullet-proofed, cooled by central air-conditioning with filters, and has an independent power supply. Architect Jorge Ramos oversaw the reconstruction, which was closely supervised by Mrs. Marcos. The refurbished Palace was inaugurated on May 1, 1979–the Marcos' silver wedding anniversary." It indicates it is not the same bldg as the spanish or american era which was mainly made of wood. I couldnt found a source for the death date of Jorge Ramos. - Mrcel Lxmna

Commons overriding internal wiki's files [ edit ]

It doesn't makes sense to allow such an override. Perhaps it should be replaced with a namespace for Commons' files. Anyways, it just blocks the access to the local wiki's file. There should be a solution when moving a file from a local wiki to Commons. Galzigler (talk) 12:24, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

@Galzigler: Can you give an example of this happening? My understanding is that where a wiki has a local file, the Commons file with the same name is unusable on that wiki. For instance, en:File:Example.jpg is different from File:Example.jpg, so where en:Help:Edit toolbar uses [[File:Example.jpg|thumbnail]] it gets the Wikipedia version and not the Commons version. I suspect there's something more subtle that you're talking about though. --bjh21 ( talk ) 12:53, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Photographic effects [ edit ]

How can we classify this photographic effect? We have a categories for 'Contre-jour photography', but movement effects. I searched the metacategories: 'Photographic techniques', 'Photography by style' and 'Photographic effects', but could not find anything.Smiley.toerist (talk) 11:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

May be Category:Blurred images. Wouter ( talk ) 15:14, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

I have added Category:Underground structures but its a bit lonely there. It is not an underground railway station.Smiley.toerist ( talk ) 09:08, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

This should be in Category:Zoom burst, see Zoom burst. Also known as 'zoom blur'. Verbcatcher (talk) 14:06, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Who Is Really In This Painting? [ edit ]

The artist with Nicholas Lanier (left) and Sir Charles Cottrell (right), circa 1645.

According to the Wikimedia Commons title of the painting at right, "William_Dobson_-_The_Painter_with_Sir_Charles_Cottrell_and_Sir_Balthasar_Gerbier_-_WGA06361.jpg", in addtion to William Dobson the other two are Sir Charles Cottrell and Sir Balthasar Gerbier. However, copied from the William Dobson Wikipedia article, the descriptions states that it is "The artist with Nicholas Lanier (left) and Sir Charles Cottrell (right), circa 1645."

In addition to that image description, Waldemar Janusczak also claims the figure at left is Nicholas Lanier, starting from 39 minutes onward in his BBC4 documentary, "The Lost Genius Of Baroque: William Dobson (Art History Documentary) | Perspective" Perspective, Jul 25, 2020 YouTube.com/watch?v=F3vnzNfWWI0?t=2340s. Waldemar also verifies that the figure at right is Sir Charles Cottrell.

Again Waldemar Janusczak claims that the figure at left is Nicholas Lanier, starting from 25:15 onward in his documentary, "Designing St Paul's Cathedral (Art History Documentary) | Perspective" Perspective, Apr 30, 2020 YouTube.com/watch?v=t1r2hsj6etA?t=1515s.

This confusion should be resolved.
