Undeleted photos not corresponding[edit]

Hi Pyb, I hope you are well. 2018 has arrived (happy new year!), meaning that the deleted versions of File:Père-Lachaise_-_Division_41_-_Prazmowski_01.jpg and File:Père-Lachaise_-_Division_41_-_Prazmowski_02.jpg are now eligible for undeletion. I've done that, but unfortunately they don't seem to correspond exactly to the current versions. I have therefore not reverted them per COM:OVERWRITE. Could you please take a look? Cheers, Storkk (talk) 12:17, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Storkk: . Happy new year ;) I will check in my backups. ~~

Photo edition[edit]

Hi, could you please crop this photo above the knees ? Its also too high so croping would be good. --Mile (talk) 14:23, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@PetarM: . Thx for your message. I've done something. If it's not perfect, I allow you to crop the file. Pyb (talk) 19:43, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I made it. Thanx for photo of Brankica Mihajlović. It was too high and low in wide. Normally at portrait we dont crop bellow knees, but above. Same with arm in buste, above the elbows. I changed too yellow cast to more natural. --Mile (talk) 16:53, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Père-Lachaise graves and Wikidata[edit]

Hi Pyb, I see a lot of the graves in Category:Artworks without Wikidata item. These graves seem to be quite well documented. Maybe nice to import them to Wikidata? Multichill (talk) 11:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Multichill:
Hello
My project consists of 37602 images and 8596 categories. Everything is not interesting for Wikidata, but there is probably a large part of the data intesresting for Wikidata. Categories with Artist filled could be a good start. I don't want to duplicate the data, so I will test User:Rama/Catdef. Pyb (talk) 11:09, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]


File:Père-Lachaise - Division 28 - Paravey 10.jpg[edit]

Hi, Pyb the description in the file does not seem to be what the inscription on the gravestone says. Lotje (talk) 07:32, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stranges date[edit]

Hi Pyb, i found such dates in some of your files. Could you please clean them up? Thank you for your cooperation. -Arnd (talk) 09:22, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Aschroet: Thx, I had a problem with a regex few months ago. I corrected all my files. Pyb (talk) 13:24, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Saying Hi[edit]

Hi Pyb, I'm amazed about what you do here. One question though, which football team do you like the most (and by football, I mean European football)?Stombari2 (talk) 21:15, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Stombari2[reply]

@Stombari2: , thx for your message. I support PSG (the men team). I can't take pictures of men team matches as a volunteer photographer. Pyb (talk) 08:19, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Recent uploads and missing metadata[edit]

Hi, it seems a number of your files have had a change like this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:P%C3%A8re-Lachaise_-_Division_40_-_Payen_01-2.jpg&diff=312505887&oldid=311042197 made to them, which has deleted all of their metadata - including licensing, description and categorisation. As a result, the hungry 'bots will soon schedule them for deletion. Would you like to restore them, as they were? Thanks Andy Dingley (talk) 08:43, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Latest message for Collaboration team newsletter; Growth team's newsletter invite[edit]

Hello

Sorry to use English if that's not your favorite language.

You are receiving this message because you were reading the Collaboration team newsletter.

The Collaboration team doesn't longer exists. That team was working on building features that encourage collaboration. This is the latest message for that newsletter.

The Growth Team, formed in July 2018, supports some former Collaboration projects. The Growth Team's main objective is to ease new editors' first steps on wikis, through software changes. You can discover all objectives and missions of the Growth team on its page.

If you wish to be informed about Growth team's updates about easing new users first steps, you can subscribe to the new list to get updates. The first message from Growth –with a call for feedback on a new project– will be posted in a few days!

If you have questions or you want to share experiences made on your wiki about new users' first steps, please post them on the team talk page, in any language.

On behalf of the Growth team, Trizek (WMF) (talk) 10:29, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Growth team updates #1[edit]

Welcome to the first newsletter for the new Growth team!

The Growth Team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects. We will be starting with Wikipedias, but we hope these changes will benefit every community.

8 ideas we consider: tell us what you think about them!

We are considering new features to build, that could retain new editors in mid-size Wikipedias. We will be testing new ideas in Czech and Korean Wikipedias, and then we'll talk to more communities (yours!) about adopting the ideas that work well.

We have posted the 8 ideas we are considering. We would really appreciate your thoughts and the thoughts from your community. Please share the ideas, and tell us what do you and your community think of those ideas before September 9.

Share your experiences with newcomers

We want to hear about what is working and what is not working for new contributors in your wiki. We also want to hear any reactions, questions, or opinions on our work. Please post on the team’s talk page, in any language!

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project page for detailed updates on the first project we'll work on.

Open Make Up For Ever 2013[edit]

Hi, thanks for taking and uploading these pictures, but en:Wu Yiwen and en:Huang Xuechen have been misidentified as the en:Jiang Wenwen (synchronised swimmer) and en:Jiang Tingting twins in several pictures. I have tried to correct most of them which I moved to Category:Huang Xuechen and Category:Wu Yiwen, but these files I cannot tell for sure:

Please take a look and decide if they are supposed to be Wu/Huang or the Jiang twins. Thanks in advance! Timmyshin (talk) 20:42, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Growth team updates #3[edit]

Welcome to the third newsletter for the new Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Two Growth team projects to be deployed in next two weeks

We will be deploying the "Understanding first day" and "Personalized first day" projects on Czech and Korean Wikipedias in the coming weeks. See the new project pages below for full details on the projects, and our project updates page for their progress.

  • Understanding first day: learn about the actions new editors take right after creating their accounts. We will be careful with user privacy, and we hope to share initial results in December.
  • Personalized first day: learn about new editors' objectives by adding some optional questions to the new editor’s registration process, and personalizing their onboarding. We hope to share initial results in December.

Third Growth team project begins

  • Focus on help desk: direct newcomers to the local help desks where they can ask questions to help them make their first edits. We hope to have an initial experiment running in December.

Best practices for helping newcomers

We are going to direct newcomers to help desks. But what's the best way to reply to a newcomer there? We have gathered some best practices for successful interactions, based on community experiences and some external documentation. The page has also been reviewed by some experienced community members who suggested some changes. That page is now open for translations. Comments and suggestions are still welcome!

We are still looking for volunteers

Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.

Also, please share this update with your community and interested people!

Learn more about us

You can visit our team page to find out why our team was formed and how we are thinking about new editors, and our project page for detailed updates on the projects we'll work on.

Otto Wegener[edit]

Merci pour les "upload" des nouvelles photos découvertes de Otto, quand j'ai fait son article sur W:fr et commencé à regrouper des photos ici, il n'y avait pas grand choses. Surprise de ma part à l'annonce de cette vente de "découverte". Malheureusement je ne l'ai appris que le lendemain ! je n'ai pas pu y aller. Des nouvelles infos sont disponibles dans le catalogue, ça servira pour étoffer l'article de Wikipédia, en ce moment je ne peux pas étant "bloqué" (!).

Rubé[edit]

Good question. "Grave of Rubé" is a title that encourages ambiguity. Who is the "J. RUBÉ " in "Famille J. RUBÉ"? There aren't many people named Rubé around but, whatever your choice, I'll go with that. Best, William C. Minor (talk) 19:38, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Growth team updates #4[edit]

Welcome to the fourth newsletter for the new Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

We need your feedback!

We have two requests for community members:

  1. Now that data is coming in for the welcome survey, we are planning how to use that data to personalize the newcomer's first day. See our current thoughts here, and join the conversation here.
  2. Try out the help panel's interactive prototype, and read about how we're planning to roll it out, and post any thoughts or reactions here.

Two Growth team projects have been deployed (detailed updates here)

  • Personalized first day (welcome survey) was deployed on November 20 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
    • The survey is now being shown to half of new users (A/B test). Responses are being recorded in the database. We'll report on initial results during December.
    • We are planning to test a second version of the survey, called "Variation C", which we think will maximize the number of users who complete the survey and stay on the wiki.
    • The original objective of this project was to give newcomers the materials they need to achieve their goals, and so now we are currently planning how we will use the information collected in the welcome survey to personalize the newcomer's experience. We hope community members will read our current thinking and join the conversation here. Some of the plans we are considering include:
      • Making it easy for newcomers to see editing activity around the topic areas in which they indicated that they're interested.
      • Connecting interested newcomers to experienced editors.
      • Surfacing the help content most relevant to the reason for which the newcomers created their accounts.
  • Understanding first day (EditorJourney) was deployed on November 15 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias. It has been done after a longer security review and final testing than expected. Data is now being recorded for all new users on those wikis, and we've been auditing the data and preparing to make initial reports during December. Stay tuned for the next newsletter!

Help panel is under construction

  • Focus on help desk (help panel) is planned to be deployed during the week of January 7 on both Czech and Korean Wikipedias.
  • This interactive prototype is the best way to see the design and wording in the feature.
  • We ran live user tests on the prototype, with results posted here.
  • In addition to giving the ability to ask a question, the help panel will also contain a set of links to existing help content. Our ambassadors on Czech and Korean Wikipedias are determining the right initial set of most helpful links in this task.
  • We encourage community members to try out the prototype and read about the rules for who will get the feature, and add any thoughts to this discussion.

We are still looking for volunteers

Do you want to participate to our experiments? We are looking for new communities to work with us (especially a new mid-size wiki), and people to become ambassadors to help us to communicate with the different communities. Discover how you can involve yourself or your community.

Also, please share this update with your community and interested people!

Your best shot 2018[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I'm wishing you all the best for the New Year and I hope you're going to have many memorable photo opportunities in 2019. With 2018 coming to an end, it's time to look back at the past 12 months. I'm curious – what would you consider your best shot of 2018 and why? I invite you to share your image and your thoughts in order to provide others with the opportunity to celebrate, learn, and enjoy:
