"own work"

[edit]

Hi. You've been extracting images from free sources, and then uploading them as "own work". That's not what "own work" means, and can screw up the provenance. The author of the original image is considered the author of the extracted image too.

When you extracted File:Bee-sting BHL.svg from File:The new bee-keepers' text-book (Page 79) BHL42109833.jpg, for instance, the author is still "King, Albert J.; King, Homer A.; King, N. H.", just as with the original.

I'll fix these later on; please be more careful in future. Thank you. DS (talk) 15:24, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comment. However, keep these things in mind:
  • What I uploaded were not just cutouts but vectorisations. Vectorising a bitmap requires quite some preprocessing of the original image, then fiddling with the parameters of the automated tracing tool, and then manual postprocessing of the result (in the two files you point out, zoom in well on the left zigzagging thing and look carefully to see only some of the obvious adjustments). This is work, and that work was my own.
  • The original image is in public domain, which means that technically no attribution is required in any form. Authorship is a nice to have — as you rightly point out, for provenance — but it is not required. I've linked both images both ways, making it possible to find the original for those inclined to do so. There could possibly be better templates to explain the matter — if you have those, let me know how they're called.

Warning sign
This media was probably deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Víbria.png, 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:Víbria.png]]).

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!

Make SVG

[edit]

I was reorganizing some images in the category of coats of arms of counties of Norway and stumbled across your Trøndelag coat of arms .svg file. I think it looks great and wondered if you could make another SVG coat of arms. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Coat_of_arms_of_Svalbard. Would be greatly appreciated if it was possible. Worldlydev (talk) 13:38, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New SVGs

[edit]

Hey Spider. I really need help with two SVGs and thought you did such a great job last time. These might be tough to crack but I hope you can help. Let me know if interested. Sincerely Worldlydev (talk) 23:51, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Always happy to help! Please point me to the right direction ;) --spider (talk) 18:01, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome. Like I said these may be too difficult but I will leave that up to you to decide. Do you have another way you prefer to be contacted through besides discussions? Might be easier by email or other chat platforms. Easier to have a dialog that way. Also have some files that might help give a better start that I could share. If you have a preferred platform let me know. I should have email open for my user so you can contact me there. Sincerely Worldlydev (talk) 20:42, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
