Flickr2Commons: strip bogus boilerplate?

Suggestion: How 'bout tweaking Flickr2Commons to not import bogus boilerplate - e.g. strip anything like "This official * photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way. Also, it may not be used in any type of commercial, advertisement, product or promotion that in any way suggests approval or endorsement *." ?

User:CommonsDelinker

Hello Magnus Manske, I noticed that CommonsDelinker deleted the name of deleted files in the log areas and especially in the Featured picture candidates log. The result is that it stay in the log only this transclusion : "{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/}}" wich is the transclusion of this page. There is two issue:

• All candidate images have in the section "File usage on Commons" links to several areas of the log (exemple). This can be misleading and disruptor for visitors.
• The main issue is those candidate pages are archived discussions, with sometimes important discussions wich can lead to some block of users or to some consensus of the community. To keep my exemple above, this discussion still exist and should be (was) archived. However after the passage of CommonsDelinker the page still exist, yes, but is harder to find.

• Is there a way to amand the CommonsDelinker so it does not erases the names of the deleted files in the log areas/namespaces? Regards, Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 12:35, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Morihei.gif

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:A modern edition of Taipingjing.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:A modern edition of Taipingjing.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. 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!

komischer Baustein?

Was soll das bewirken? Und was bedeutet der Text im englisch-deutschen Baustein? Wieso freistellen? Wer soll ausgeschnitten werden? Warum fehlt Photoshop bei den Programmen? --Ralf Roleček 22:48, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Ich habe die Vorlage {{Crop for Wikidata}} erstellt, damit einzelne Personen aus Gruppenfotos in ein neues Bild "freigestellt" werden, um dieses dann auf Wikidata (in diesem Fall Ruth Reinecke) verwenden zu können. Andere haben geholfen, den Baustein auszuweiten, inklusive der Software-Vorschläge. Ich bin sicher, keiner von denen möchte Dir Photoshop verbieten. Du kannst gerne an einer deutsch Übersetzung der Vorlage mitarbeiten. Ich hoffe, Dir damit weitergeholfen zu haben. --Magnus Manske (talk) 16:06, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Ah, also unfertig und Mißverständnis, sorry. Freistellen bedeuted Entfernung des Hintergrundes ;) --Ralf Roleček 17:50, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Ja, nicht ganz diese Freistellung - der Hintergrund muss nicht weiß oder transparent werden. Wichtig ist, dass die genünschte Person alleine, oder zumindest prominent, zu sehen ist. --Magnus Manske (talk) 18:15, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

crop request Foto Cynthia Nickschas

Cynthia Nickschas Waffenrod 2015 001

Hi, du hast für das Foto die crop-request Vorlage gesetzt. Das von flickr geholte Foto ist aber eher ein Notbehelf, weil es für die Artikelbebilderung gar kein Bild gab. Ich finde es eigentlich nicht so toll. Ich bin im Rahmen des Wikipedia:Festivalsommer im Mai auf einer Veranstaltung, wo auch Cythia Nickschas auftritt. Ich denke, dass wir danach dann bessere Fotos haben. Vielleicht solange noch abwarten ... --rs-foto (talk) 17:53, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons Metadata

@Magnus Manske: Hi Magnus. I hope you can help. I need to access the metadata for an entire Commons category (I see the Wikimedia Commons API will call data for individual images). The category is:Welsh Landscape Collection. I need to list the handle number for each image, which is stated in the data for each image, for some work a volunteer is doing with Wikidata for the collection. For several different reasons, i cant get this info from the original metadata file. Do you think you could help? Thanks Jason.nlw (talk) 12:58, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Would that be the {{NLWsource}} number? As on this page? --Magnus Manske (talk) 15:05, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

In case it is, here are the mappings. --Magnus Manske (talk) 15:33, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

CommonsHelper tool question

Greetings Magnus, I noticed this was archived but wasn't sure if you saw it before it was. I just wanted to report just in case. Reguyla (talk) 16:16, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Greetings Magnus. I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I really like your CommonsHelper tool. It makes uploading images to commons a lot easier than doing it manually. I have noticed however that when it does that, Ogrebot then goes along and has to do some cleanup. I was wondering if there would be anyway to adjust CommonsHelper to reduce or eliminate the amount of followup edits that OgreBot 2 has to do.

A couple suggestions if you don't mind:

1. I would recommend that if a file contains no source information, that CommonsHelper would not let the user upload it. I had the problem with File:Jose Calugas.jpg recently.
2. When I uploaded File:USMCGenRossDwyer.jpg it included some information that referenced Wikipedia itself. I would suggest maybe not allowing these either. For what its worth, in this case, the file refers to another similar file called File:Dwyer RossT MajGenUSMC.jpg that has the actual reference information. Not sure your tool can do much about this but in general I would think its not ideal to upload images that use WP as a source.
3. When I uploaded File:Paul F Straub.jpg Ogrebot then went back and did some cleanup on the file that can be seen here. Maybe the CommonsHelper tool could do some of this when it loads the image?
4. If you look at my uploads here you can see some more things that Ogrebot changes.

I its not possible to do these things with the tool or if you don't have the time I certainly understand. I just wanted to mention it because I noticed that Ogrebot is quite a busy bot and it might reduce some of its edits and the discussions that ensue if some of these things were tweaked in how the CommonsHelper tool worked.

Thanks for the time and please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for all the tools you make, they really do help a lot. Reguyla (talk) 01:48, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Also, if you want I can add them to your feature request tool you link too above. I just wanted to mention it in case it wasn't possible or needed. They also refer to the toolserver, so they probably don't work. Cheers! Reguyla (talk) 01:50, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Photo page Landsadvocaat

Hi Magnus Manske,

Is it possible to remove the photo of Eric Daalder? He is no longer deputy landsadvocaat.

Thanks in advance,

Victorine Stille Pels Rijcken & Droogleever Fortuijn

Well, if he ever was one, I see no reason to remove his photo. You might want to remove his photo from the Landsadvocaat page, which you can do by editing this page. --Magnus Manske (talk) 14:53, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

A week of looking at women

After reading http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=392 (found on the meta sidebar with planet.wikimedia) I checked Category:Crop_for_Wikidata. Most were too small or too hard for my tastes, but some are over 1 MB and technically simple (as far as I trust that XnView lossless crop does what it says.) But my 1st test took rather long, I had to find commons categories based on an enwiki article. The 2nd test was straight forward, 5 minutes, using the commons category for the woman. The 3rd test was an epic fail, after uploading the crop I decided that the source license requires a DR (and the crop got a speedy). So that's not as easy as you (maybe) think, I give up for today. –Be..anyone (talk) 22:48, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

You can use CropTool to do lossless cropping online. It will re-upload the cropped images, categories and all. There is a Commons plugin to have it in the sidebar of every image. --Magnus Manske (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Ist das dein Ernst?

Hey Magnus,

es ist doch nicht dein Ernst aus einem 514 × 343-Bild 30 Köpfe zu machen? Das macht hier kein Sinn, oder doch? --Atamari (talk) 21:37, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Ich habe nicht nach 30 Köpfen gefragt, nur nach einem. --Magnus Manske (talk) 22:05, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Hätte es anders formuliert, aber ich schließe mich doch von der Intention her der Frage an. Ist es wirklich sinnvoll, solche Mini-Bilder für Wikidata zu basteln? Das mag bei diesem noch irgendwie funktionieren, aber etwa bei diesem hier kaum mehr einen wirklich brauchbaren Ausschnitt ergeben.
Die Hauptgefahr, die ich (für mich) sehe, ist, dass diese "Porträts", aus Fotos die nie als Porträts geplant waren und/oder von der Qualität her einfach keine hergeben, früher oder später auch in Artikeln als solche eingebaut werden. Dann kann ich, soweit es Bilder betrifft deren Originale von mir sind, schon recht zuverlässig damit rechnen, wieder einmal Mails von Betroffenen zu bekommen, die mich fragen wie man ihr Bild denn bitte löschen (lassen) kann - was wiederum aufgrund der Policies hier mehr oder weniger unmöglich ist und mich in eine sehr unangenehme Lage bringt. Ist kein Vorwurf an Dich, passiert aber halt dann und wann.
Sorry wegen der Länge hier. Gibt es eine Seite, wo diese Wikidata-Porträtwünsche allgemeiner diskutiert werden? Grüße, Tsui (talk) 22:28, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Gibt es bestimmt, aber ich wüsste nicht, wo :-( Ein Teil des Problems ist natürlich, dass diese Gruppenbilder nicht wirklich als "das" Bild der Person auf Wikidata passen. Ein anderes ist, dass mein Tool nur eine Miniatur zeigt, und es da schwer zu sagen ist, ob sich ein Ausschneiden lohnt. Ich überlasse die Entscheidung dann im Zweifelsfall Commons. Natürlich führt das Entfernen der Vorlage (ohne cropping) dazu, dass das Gruppenbild wieder in meinem Tool angezeigt wird... Vielleicht könnte man eine Wartungskategorie/Vorlage "Cropping not recommended" o.ä. zum Bild hinzufügen, damit es nicht nochmal vorgelegt wird? Oder vielleicht eine Mindest-Auflösung/Pixelzahl? --Magnus Manske (talk) 22:39, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Letzteres, lasse dein Tool zumindest die Megapixel (oder Auflösung) anzeigen. Dann kann man abschätzen ob ein 1/10 des Bildausschnitt überhaupt noch für ein Porträt geeignet ist. Intuitiv glaube ich, dass da rund 10% bis zu einem Drittel raus fallen. Nach meiner Meinung muss Wikidata nicht vollständig bebildert werden. Wenn ein ausreichend gutes Bild vorhanden ist, ja - aber nicht mit der Brechstange. Da ist die Zeit zu schade. Zur Causa Zineb Jammeh: hätte ich ein anderes besseres "freies" Bild gefunden, dann hätte ich dies auch hochgeladen. --Atamari (talk) 07:03, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Gute Idee. –Be..anyone 💩 22:43, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

• Eine andere Frage ist: warum nicht diese Bild für WikiData? --Atamari (talk) 16:48, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Weil es bei Wikidata keine "Bildunterschrift" (wie z.B. "2. v.r.") gibt. Daher ist nicht automatisch ersichtlich, wer die Person ist. Die Regel "eine Person auf dem Bild" breche ich selber nur, wenn die beschriebene Person ein (erkennbar) anderes Geschlecht hat als alle anderen auf dem Bild, denn das Geschlecht sollte im item stehen. --Magnus Manske (talk) 17:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Ich habe mich eben unvollständig/unklar ausgedrückt. Warum kein Crop-Wunsch von diesem Bild. Da ist das Gesicht nicht halb verdeckt, hat eine größere Fläche vom Bild das dazu auch eine größere MP-Zahl hat. Von diesem kann man wahrscheinlich ein ein vernünftigen Ausschnitt machen. --Atamari (talk) 17:43, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Ah, OK! Ich hab mal die Vorlage dazugebaut. Das Bild wird auf Wikipedia für Jammeh] nicht verwendet, daher hat mein Tool mir das nicht vorgeschlagen. --Magnus Manske (talk) 18:08, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Flickr2commons and categories

Hi Magnus. Thank you for developing flickr2commons, for which I'd like to submit a bug report, or an enhancement request, if you like:

I transferred some 400 images from EBL Flickr account to category:2014 European Bridge Championships, Opatija. I spent a considerable amount of time categorizing the players' photos into appropriate country categories, e.g. category:Icelandic bridge players. However, many of those categories had not existed at the time – my plan was to revisit the photos upon upload and create appropriate red-linked categories. Now, to my surprise, flickr2commons only categorized the photos into existing categories, and stripped all the redlinks, wiping out most of my work. I'm going to fix the issue with cat-a-lot (and in retrospect, it's much better tool for the job). However, if you could fix that issue, or at least document it in the help popups, it would probably save someone else's effort in the future.

Another minor issue: Flickr apparently changed their URL naming scheme for albums, but the help popup in https://tools.wmflabs.org/flickr2commons/ for "photoset ID" still refers to "/in/set-#####". It's pretty obvious that the last part of the URL (album number like 1231798097) is required, but some change in wording would be beneficial, for clarity.

flickr2commons

Hi Magnus. I am using your "flickr 2 commons" upload tool. Great tool. May I suggest an addition: Screen and warn for duplicate "Flickr photo ID" alone. Not just in combination with the flickr file name. If the tool finds a duplicate let the user decide what to do. As it now is I do not know when I am uploading a duplicate image with simply a changed flickr file name, or with a minor improvement in the lighting. If I purposely want to upload an improved image I should be able to do that, but I want to be warned in case it is accidental. Bengt Nyman (talk) 14:35, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

blacklist hits

I notice that Filedelinkerbot and Commonsdelinker regularly hit the spam-blacklist because the files that they unlink are on blacklisted servers. I think it would be good if they built-in a check that if they hit the spam-blacklist, that they re-try but maiming the external link (e.g. leave off the 'http://'). They could even do that standard - maiming the link - as the link in the edit summary is not clickable, so copy-paste is for the interested follower anyway the only option. The latter solution would avoid hitting the blacklist completely. I do expect there will be a high incidence on links that are blacklisted or at least very questionable when there are copyright violations on the site (and we should never link to material in violation of copyright, so those sites do run a high risk of becoming blacklisted for that reason).

Both bots hit the filter on 'hosuronline.com/index.php/govt-demolished-part-of-csi-church-in-salem-without-verifying-papers/' on en:CSI Immanuel Church, salem (en-admin eyes only: log)- and from both it is unclear which file is the offending file (I can only guess through the re-linked image). I see the bots turn up regularly in the logs (I will cross-post this on the other bot's talkpage). --Beetstra (talk) 06:14, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Pickup + small Camping unit

Hi,

Ich hoffe ich darf ausnahmsweise kurz auf Deutsch hier schreiben, du hast ein Bild eines Nissan Pickups mit deutschem Kennzeichen im Wohnmobil-Artikel welcher eine "Mini"-Wohnwagen Einheit zu sein scheint (ist ja Marke Eigenbau, oder bietet Nissan sowas an?! Egal, wollte nur fragen ist es deiner? Hast du die Maße so etwa parat?! Ich weiß nicht welcher Nissan Pickup das genau ist, werde gleich schauen, vlt. gibt es nur 1 oder 2 Modelle in Europa/D-land, es scheint sehr eng zu sein, also der Wohnteil mit dem Fenster an der Seite,

scheint für mich etwa exakt ein 1,90 - 2,00 Meter langes Bett zu sein, dieses würde auch schon fast 50% des Platzes einnehmen bei ausreichend großer Breite des Bettes, die anderen Teile werden wohl Küchengeräte sein, evtl. ein Stromanschluss der an denn Pickup-Motor (und notfalls Autobatterie?) gekoppelt ist. Sprich ein Herd mit Propan oder Butan-Gasflasche + Kühlschrank, so war es damals bei der Yacht meines Stiefvater (keine Luxus-Yacht!! Einfache 17 Meter Lange und ca. 3,50 bis 4 Meter Breite Yacht mit mehreren Räumen, aber von Luxus weit entfernt.

Weil ich überlege... finde dass es eigentlich ne sehr feine Sache sein kann so mobil mit seiner "Mini-Wohnung" zu sein :) Die Technik von Heute erlaubt sogar Internet für die Abende/Nächte, vlt. muss man eh auf einen "Campingplatz", da hat man dann ja Strom über eine dieser "Stromrollen" mit 30 bis 50 Meter Kabel für die Steckdose, und dann können dort je nach Modell 4 oder mehr Steckdosenplätze genutzt werden, so dass man evtl. nicht mal verlängerungskabel braucht, und wenn doch auch kein Problem. Die modernen Mobilen Geräte sind inzwischen jedoch so sparsam, dass eine 2. Autobatterie und notfalls eben direkt an den Motor gekoppelt ausreicht für Energie, LED Birnen brauchen eh praktisch nix mehr, Kochen ist über Gasflasche, nur der Kühlschrank würde mir Sorgen machen?!

Hi MM. When attempting to utilise the url2commons tools today, I can get into the authorise process, in that I see the MW: page and can accept the request, the follow-on page dos not show that authentication has happened, ie. it still says "authorise".

Its quite a useful tool, available through the Commons interface, at it is a pity to have it down.

Flickr2Commons not detecting all photos

EDIT: This turned out to be a non-bug, and was my fault. Don't waste your time with this. Sorry for the bother! -IagoQnsi (talk) 16:41, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Hey, I've been using your Flickr2Commons tool a lot, and I really love it, but lately I've had a few issues where it won't detect every photo in an album. This album has 635 photos, but Flickr2Commons only detects 475 photos when I put in the photoset ID. The photos it skips are consistent (i.e. if I reload the page and put in the same album ID, it'll skip the same photos), but they seem to be more or less random -- I don't see anything that distinguishes them from the other photos.

To my eyes, everything seems fine with the No photos -- they have the same CC BY license and everything else seems to be the same. Would you mind taking a look at this and seeing what might be causing Flick2Commons to skip these photos? I am the owner of that album, so if there is something that needs to be fixed in the album, I can change it. Many thanks, IagoQnsi (talk) 15:43, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies; I just noticed your banner at the top asking that bug reports go on Bitbucket. My mistake, I'll copy this over to there. EDIT: Here is the issue I created. -IagoQnsi (talk) 15:46, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Mislabel leading to Embarrassing Situations "Patch Adams at Sarvodaya.jpg"

Hello Magnus, My name is Derek Busby, and I am the assistant to Dr. Patch Adams. I am writing to you because the picture entitled "Patch Adams at Sarvodaya" has been incorrectly labeled. This picture is actually of Dr. Bowen White: http://bowenwhite.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/IMG_3774.jpg . While Drs. Adams and White are both amused by the mix-up, this picture has been used on several wikipedia pages (Spanish and Italian at least), and has been picked up by fans who came to believe this was a picture of Dr. Adams. We now have T-Shirts and a statue which feature the image of Dr. White, which have been presented to Dr. Adams--much to the confusion to all those involved. So, I would ask that you please edit this picture to reflect the reality that this is an image of Dr. Bowen White. Thank you. -Derek

This has now been taken care of. Storkk (talk) 14:05, 21 June 2017 (UTC)

Bug

Hi, Please take a look here. This causing redlink on bengali wikipedia. --Aftabuzzaman (talk) 16:23, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Paul Finsler

Hi! You left a "crop for wikidata" template on File:FinslerPaul Zurich1932.tif. I'm currently building excerpt images from the File:ETH-BIB-Internationaler Mathematikerkongress, Zürich 1932-Portrait-Portr 10680-FL.tif, and File:FinslerPaul Zurich1932.tif is one of them. If you need some more extracts for wikidata, please tell me, I'm happy to provide them (however, most will be of very poor resolution). However, I'm not sufficiently familiar with wikidata to set the 'picture' field there, so this must be done by someone else. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 10:34, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Tools not working?

When I try to load Flickr2Commons and CommonsHelper they do not work, instead it says "502 Bad Gateway". MB298 (talk) 19:30, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Files from Flickr

Hi. In past your bot transferred some files from flickr, but not the best version in the highest resolution available. See [8],[9], etc. Also, this issue is the cause of some number of undetected-yet duplicated flickr files on Commons (I remember this was mentioned at Village Pump in early 2017). Maybe you know how to detect all these files, to put a bot to mass re-check and re-upload them if there is available a larger version. --XXN, 16:15, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Request fixed

Hi! Now this request has been fixed, and the cawp article has the cropped image. The strange interface at Wikidata hinders me to add it there (is there a simple how-to-do-it nearby?).--Paracel63 (talk) 19:00, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi again! No I got help to understand the interface, and the image link has been added here. All the best.--Paracel63 (talk) 21:20, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

FYI: INC abusively delete over a thousand images. To prevent delinker from processing these images, Matiia has temporary locked the bot account and bd808 disabled its crontab. --Zhuyifei1999 (talk) 05:57, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
