Costumiers

Wouldn't be better "Costume dealers" or "Costume renters" then? "Costumiers" is too generic, if it include both who creates and who trades costumes. -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 15:07, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

I am not a fan of introducing non-existing terms here. Plus 'dealers' or 'renters' doesn't fit the bill, because a costumier can be an employee of one specific theatre, not with a business of their own. And I don't think costumier is too generic. Have a look at these definitions.

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/costumier: A person or company that makes or supplies theatrical or fancy-dress costumes: a theatrical costumier.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/costumier: (Clothing & Fashion) a person or firm that makes or supplies theatrical or fancy costumes.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costumier

Costumiers take care of costumes and some of them design and/or also make them. So in that case a 'costume designer' would be a subcategory of 'costumier'. --Judithcomm (talk) 08:37, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Hmm... What you said seem consistent. Let's hear what Jim Woodward has to say on this topic being he a native speaker of English unlike you and I ;) -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 18:22, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't think I've ever heard or seen the word "costumier" before. I don't know what our colleagues in Britain would say about it. If I had to have a single word, I would probably use "costumer" (without the "i"), but better would be "costume dealer" (which would include both sales and rentals) on the one hand and "costume designer" on the other. See, for example Edith Head which begins, "Edith Head ... was an American costume designer who won eight Academy Awards.... This is still a record in its category." She is in Category:American costume designers and American fashion designers, among others. See also Costume designer. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:37, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your imput, Jim. Costumer can indeed mean the same thing, but that of course is a very ambiguous word. But with costume dealer and custume designer, you haven't covered the whole field. There is also the person who works for a theater or other organisation that uses costumes and who maintains the costumes (safe storage, cleaning, mending, ironing, replacing, etc). This is not a dealer or a designer, although designing may be part of the job. There are several pictures of these people in http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Designers_of_costumes right now. I have never called them anything other than costumier. The word is the same in English as in Dutch. --Judithcomm (talk) 23:17, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Two thoughts. First, as a widely read native English speaker, I take with a grain of salt your choice -- it is a word, but there are many words in English that are not actually in general use and, as I said, if you insist on a single word for the subject, then "costumer" is the one that people actually use. Second, I doubt that many of the roles you discuss above are actually going to appear on Commons -- the person who maintains costumes in a theater is not likely to be a notable person. That would apply to costume dealers as well. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:58, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

O.k. So shall we use the word costumers then? With designers and dealers as subcategories? Then people who only maintain the costumes can stay in the main category. By the way: the reason I created the costumiers category in the first place was to categorise the media I found on Commons of these non-notable persons. And I think there should be a place on Commons for al professions, not just the notable ones. --Judithcomm (talk) 11:51, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

To your last point, you are probably right. I withdraw my second point above. While generally images on Commons are of notable people (which was what I was thinking), we also have images of ordinary people doing various things -- the people are not themselves notable, but illustrating human activity of all sorts is clearly in scope. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:27, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

And the first point? Costumers, Costume designers, Costume dealers. That's ok with you?--Judithcomm (talk) 09:09, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Sure. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:48, 16 November 2014 (UTC)== File:Fountain Court, Temple, London-45357396.jpg ==

The building dates back to 1937, More than 70 years ago--DDupard (talk) 18:33, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

The building may be more than 70 years old, but the architect and most of the sculptors (one exception) have not been dead at least 70 years. And that's what counts, I thought, in French law --Judithcomm (talk) 19:02, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

The building is a public museum of modern art owned by the city of Paris official site of the city, just like the en:Centre Georges Pompidou, owned by the state.--DDupard (talk) 13:11, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Its not much use to argue with me, I'm afraid, it's French law. Please read https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#France. If there is freedom of panorama for state-owned buildings, regardless of the persons who created it, I would be glad, but I don't think there is. --Judithcomm (talk) 13:35, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

It is not a matter of arguing with you Judithcomm , I am not the author of the image, however, I will get in touch with the city authorities and find out what their stance is on this, and let you know, so please allow for some time. Thanks --DDupard (talk) 15:14, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Please do find out. I would really like to know --Judithcomm (talk) 15:35, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Ok thanks, Judithcomm, will do--DDupard (talk) 16:01, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Film locations

Hi, I noticed that you added an additional category to Category:Munich, so now it´s "Municipalities in Bavaria", "State capitals in Germany", "Upper Bavaria" and, after your edit, "Film locations of The Three Musketeers (2011)". While this seems to be certainly true, I somehow feel that the latter is of less significance for the categorization of Munich as a whole. In addition and according to IMDB, Munich has been the location of more than 2000 movies and the category section of Munich would be quite difficult to maintain of one day they are all mentioned there. Wouldn´t it be more reasonable to turn it around and to categorize the film in a category like "Films located in Munich"? --Rudolph Buch (talk) 21:09, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I agree that this category seems a little frivolous compared to the others. I would have preferred more specific Munich locations, but didn't take the time for the necessary research. For other cities there are categories like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Film_locations_of_Inspector_Morse_in_Oxford and http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Film_locations_in_Oxford. Turning it around would introduce a completely new system. Personally I would rather leave it like it is and hope someone else will be inspired to find the more specific locations in Munich. --Judithcomm (talk) 21:38, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Let´s be thankful that your information is as specific as "Munich", otherwise it might have been added to Category:Bavaria or Category:Germany :-) But you are right, this is the existing system and it should be discussed at the level of Category:Film locations by film. --Rudolph Buch (talk) 04:41, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Chenies manor

How remarkable! Here I am thinking I need some better pictures of the south of Chenies Manor, and some popped up. Thank you for that, though I do wonder how it came about. Are there any others?

I was working on improving the article, and time team did a dig there ten years ago. They reckoned that a building still there to the north west of the existing west block could have been one side of the gateway, so I wonderd if there were any pictures. I dont properly know what I might be looking for yet. There are several general pictures here already, but most seem to be quite low resolution. A picture of the medieval cellar would be nice, perhaps, but I dont know if it is open to the public such that someone might have snapped it. Time team did some nice shots looking down from the church tower. 23:19, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Sandpiper, nice to hear from you. My interest in Chenies Manor is mainly as a film location. Since there seems to be at least one production which uses the cellar (but this could very well be a set), a picture of the cellar would indeed be nice. My main source is http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/TQ0198, which I check regularly. --Judithcomm (talk) 06:07, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Re: Restaurante El Jardin, Málaga

Hello Judith. I did. The restaurant is only on the ground floor. For files of the whole building the category should have the building's name or address rather than the name of a restaurant that only occupies part of the ground floor, in my opinion. Kind regards, tyk (talk) 16:55, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

new key for Category:Jane Austen in portraits: "1800"

If the "Rice Portrait" is of Jane Austen at all (very doubtful), it definitely does not date from 1800. Churchh (talk) 07:48, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

The key "1800" is just a way to place similar portraits right next to each other in the category, nothing more. And it is clearly stated that there are only two portraits that can be considered genuine, both made by Cassandra Austen. --Judithcomm (talk) 08:02, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Category:Brunt's Barn, Upper Padley, Grindleford

Checking back, it looks like I got the identification of these photos wrong - they're actually of Category:Padley Chapel. I took photos of what is actually Brunt's barn immediately before and after those photos. Sorry about this - I'll move these photos over to the correct category, and upload the ones of Brunts Barn shortly! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:15, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

All fixed now. It turns out the two are located right next to each other - see https://goo.gl/maps/g1s3krNwVxT2 , Brunts barn is the bottom structure, Padley Chapel's the top structure. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:52, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Ok. I use Maps and Street view all the time to check my assumptions. It doesn't always help, though. Did you notice they allways abbreviate Street into St? You get strange effects in English villages that have a street named "The Street". See you --Judithcomm (talk) 20:07, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Flickr license

I am very busy and can only give you this reference table on Flickr licenses. Commons accepts imagers from private (ie. non-Us federal government websites--where everything is certainly PD)--which have an attribution, attribution-sharealike or public domain dedication license. A Public Domain mark license is not acceptable because the private copyright owner can change the license at any moment without consequences. He/She does not release any rights with this license. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:05, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

• So an image with this public domain mark license here is Not acceptable. But an image with a public domain dedication license (or cc0) here is OK since the copyright owner promises to surrender the copyright to the image. Best, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:06, 6 June 2016 (UTC)--Leoboudv (talk) 00:06, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
  • If those are the rules, so be it. I still think it's strange. The intention of the uploader is to release the picture in the public domain, so what does the precise license matter here? And with all licenses the owner still has the copyright. On Flickr the license can always be changed. --Judithcomm (talk) 09:21, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
• It is indeed strange but the license is important. If it is {{Cc0}} then it is public domain dedication and it is free for Commons. Also, if it is a US Federal government image, it is free for Commons like a US Army, Navy, Air Force, Geological Survey image. I made this point in a previous DR and the closing Admin accepted it. This image from the US National Park service is also free. Kind Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:12, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Old Friar Park images

Hi Judithcomm. I notice you've uploaded some images of Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames from the 1890s and 1900s, so, given my limited experience on Commons, I thought I'd ask your advice about some others that I'd like to add. Although I believe they'd be eligible, given their vintage, the site does carry a 2016 copyright and the words "All rights reserved". Here are a couple of the pics: [1], [2]. Would you be able to advise? Many thanks, JG66 (talk) 12:43, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi JG66. Nice to hear from you. Although the pictures themselves seem old enough, the site claims copyright, as you say. So you cannot be sure they can be uploaded to commons. I suggest you resist the temptation (which I fully understand, believe me) and leave them alone. Maybe you can find the same images from another source... Happy hunting --Judithcomm (talk) 13:02, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Ah what a shame. (Yes, it is tempting!) I appreciate your point – many thanks, I'll keep looking. Best, JG66 (talk) 13:12, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Lotje, it is the adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel (mentioned in the article) in the Miss Marple (TV series). There is also an awfull adaptation (from 2009) in Agatha Christie's Marple. Does that help? --Judithcomm (talk) 13:39, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

File copyright status

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons. While everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the project, one or more of your recent file uploads had missing or false information regarding its source and copyright status. Please note that Wikimedia Commons takes copyright rules and infringement very seriously. Files may only be uploaded and included if their copyright status meets the conditions stated in our licensing policy, and if their provenance is clearly documented. Files that fail to meet those conditions may be deleted, and users who fail to meet them may be blocked. Please follow our first steps, if you haven't already. If you have questions, feel free to ask at the Village Pump copyright question page or on my talk page. Thank you. Túrelio (talk) 17:54, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

@Túrelio: this isn't as clear-cut of a case as it may seem. Andrássy út 94 szám, II. emelet (207): "©© Derzsi Elekes Andor, Budapest, 2014, elekes@mailbox.hu. You are authorised to use these photos under Creative Commons – even for commercial, for profit purposes. Photos must be attributed to Derzsi Elekes Andor. All of the photos and vids in the Metapolisz DVD line are under Creative Commons and can be used even for commercial – for profit – purposes. Recommended Citation Derzsi Elekes Andor: Metapolisz DVD line". It doesn't specify which version, if it should be ShareAlike and whether or not there would be ND limitations. I don't believe Elekes Andor would mean ND, but it's not specified. Derzsi Elekes Andor also has an account here btw. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 18:38, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

To make sure I got the license right I left a message on Andors discussion page informing him I recently uploaded his photo's from flickr and he replied: "Judithcomm Feel free to use this photo and others of mine on the wikipédia.... My photos can be used for commercial purposes too." He had the opportunity to have a look at the license and did not object. So I don't think there can be any problem. --Judithcomm (talk) 22:43, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Ok, your objections are reasonable. However, due to the quite conflicting statements on the Flickr-pages, it would be a bit easier for me to undelete all these images, if you could ask the photographer via his local contact point to simply confirm the choosen (on Commons) free license for all listed images (those now deleted and eventually others which you uploaded to Commons; list them all in your mail) by email towards permissions-commons@wikimedia.org (OTRS). This way, 1) we avoid the problem that each of these images would surely face at any later point of time, when someone checks the license on Flickr (which is ARR) and 2) the photographer does not need to change anything on Flickr. --Túrelio (talk) 09:30, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

I've now undeleted the files and listed them on Derzsi Elekes Andor's talkpage. --Túrelio (talk) 12:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Signatures missing

Please add signature (--~~~~) when commenting something, eg here is missing: [3]--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:28, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Estopedist1, I understand what you mean, but in several cases, I'd really rather not. These are list of information sources I used to identify images and categories. If I have to sign every edit I make to these lists, they become very messy and unreadable. It's info, not a comment. And my edits are never anonymous, are they? You can see in the history who did what. --Judithcomm (talk) 01:24, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Advice

Hi Judithcomm, as you probably noticed, I renamed and recategorized several of your categories related to buildings in Iran, because I tend to keep it as standardized and strongly technical. I hope you don't mind, you really did a great job and thanks a lot for it! :)

In different 'corners' of Commons there are different conventions for creating (sub)categories. I try to follow them as much as possible. If you feel the need to standardize them, be my guest, as long as no information gets lost in the process. What I dislike is people making such changes and leaving the bulk of the recategorisation to others or disconnecting categories that were originally connected.--Judithcomm (talk) 08:09, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Well, several weeks ago there wasn't any standardized naming (architectural elements of mosques, palaces, etc.), and it was actually you who set up the root for it. I mostly followed your ideas, with slight changes. As far as I remember, I recategorized Ali Qapu, Chehel Sotun, Shah Mosque (Isfahan) and perhaps something else. Nothing radical or superficial, don't worry, for example excluding "iwans" as parent cat for "courtyard" because there's also an entrance iwan unrelated to courtyard. Such small things. There's also no any disconnecting, architectural elements are now better interconnected because all is arranged by cities, provinces and dynastic periods. --Orijentolog (talk) 13:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Now regarding that "strongly technical" things, several days ago I saw proposals for deleting your film locations categories. Some of their arguments are valid (like overcategorizing famous locations), but I oppose deletion. My advice would be this: for famous locations, where tens or hundreds film location categories can be put, do not use categories directly, but pick up several good images with appropriate angles (as used in films) and put categories there. There's no proper argument against it, images can have tens of categories. Beside it, if for example cinemaphiles open Category:Film locations of Il fiore delle Mille e una notte in Iran, I'm sure they'd rather like to see a gallery of fine images than just categories with many unrelated files. But I'm not against the current situation either, IMHO it can stay. --Orijentolog (talk) 07:24, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

I've made a number of film gallery pages, but only if a significant number of locations of the film is known AND images are available. For the Arabian Nights film the African scenes are almost impossible to locate: somewhere in Ethiopia or Eritrea. Meanwhile, I would like to know that the work I have done to find the locations is not simply deleted.--Judithcomm (talk) 08:09, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

If there be further discussion for delete/keep, feel free to "canvass" me. :) Unfortunately, I already got notifications about some deletions [4][5]. --Orijentolog (talk) 13:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Strange that you get notifications and I don't. This too is a film locations category I created.--Judithcomm (talk) 14:02, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

I don't know why you didn't get it. Yeah, I know it's your category, that's why I informed you. If I get any further notification about similar deletion, I'll inform you. --Orijentolog (talk) 06:08, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Ok thanks.--Judithcomm (talk) 09:27, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this revert: don't trust those contours marked on the Infobox, they actually show less than 5% of the Isfahan Grand Bazaar. It is actually a mammoth complex whose true size you can see here on pages 15 and 18. --Orijentolog (talk) 19:44, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

For large buildings, that are connected to several streets, I usually name all those streets as a cat. But if you have a different system, it's fine by me. Just completed a new page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/And_Then_There_Were_None_(1974_film), so I 'visited' Iran again. Lots of new images. Hence the cats activity. --Judithcomm (talk) 20:14, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Brydges Place, London geograph-5749942-by-PAUL-FARMER.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.

We need your feedback!

Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!

I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

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 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,

Film locations

Hi, Have you now completed making galleries for the various film locations so we can delete said categories? This information is best served by including in the appropriatw Wikipedia article rather than commons or wikidata. -Broichmore (talk) 09:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Broichmore: Not alle cats have a gallery yet. I hope to make some backups this weekend. --Judithcomm (talk) 11:26, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough. I hope you got what I said about Wikipedia. in the long run, this is the only wiki site that is future-proofed for this kind of data. I would expect wikidata to be too difficult to maintain thats why its unsuitable, and commons may not hold onto gallery pages long term either. Joe Public is very interested in this stuff, and they will not look further than forum, facebook, or Wikipedia for it. I'm just concerned that your work doesn't go to waste. You would be recommended to reference quality papers as opposed to the Daily Mail which is frowned upon as a reliable reference, which it actually is. I'll back you up on that issue as DM should have an exemption for it. - Broichmore (talk) 13:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth 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 (2023) 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 top 5% of 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 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.
