[edit]Copyright status: File:ACOMMENT cover July 1941.jpg
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:ACOMMENT cover July 1941.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Tilt-shift correction
[edit]Hello, a while back you corrected the lens distortion of one of my uploads. Thanks for that. I just uploaded another photo of a Melbourne theatre with the same issue. Feel free to weave your magic if you think it necessary. - HappyWaldo (talk) 23:53, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, happy to do that - wonderful that you are busy acquiring images of all these significant buildings! Just a request with the super-wide-angle lens; point it straight ahead at the building, turning the camera to vertical if necessary. That will include a lot of foreground (half the image will be foreground) but will mean less distortion and straight, parallel verticals, then just crop the bottom of image. You have a great lens that does not have barrel or pincushion distortion (or you are using software to correct those common distortions) so the correction is quite straightforward. Keep up these valuable contributions! Jamesmcardle (talk) 02:41, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Cheers! The photo of the Athenaeum was taken with my phone, the Forum one I found on Flickr. My knowledge of lenses and photography generally is very limited, but I try to my best to take aesthetically pleasing shots. Thanks for the advice and encouragement. - HappyWaldo (talk) 06:37, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

- Hi Bidgee, I'm confused by your message - all I have done is straighten the verticals and remove distortion in the image - which come under COM:OW "DO overwrite ... minor changes ... perspective correction etc." Is there an issue with my changes in this case - so I know for future reference please.

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open!
[edit]Read this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth 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 (2022) 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 are all 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.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

File source is not properly indicated: File:Wothlytype.jpg
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Wothlytype.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

- All the information needed is in the file description…author, his life dates, the subject of the image, its date, the URL where it is found, which is the blog of the person who has this unique example of a now long defunct photo printing technology in his collection. The image and its maker are well past the public domain threshold. To have this image in the article on English Wikipedia ‘Wothlytype’ is desirable. Jamesmcardle (talk) 09:28, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- Awaiting your reply, otherwise I have no idea what you require. Thank you for your attention Jamesmcardle (talk) 10:54, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
