Fair use

Salut, Gato76680

Je crois que, à la wikipedia française, il etait possible uploader images fair use (je ne sais pas beacoup de ses normes), mais ici, à Commons ce n'est ne pas possible. Vous pouvez lire plus de notres normes à Commons:À propos des licences. Si vous considerez que le fair use est accepté dans votre wikipedia, faissez le upload localement. Merci de votre comprension,

I think that, at the french wikipedia, fair use images are allowed (I don't know much about their policies), but here, at Commons, it is not possible. You can read more about our rules at Commons:Licensing. If you consider that fair use is accepted in the french wikipedia, upload the images locally. Thanks for you understanding,

Modification des catégories de villes

Bonjour,

Je viens de voir que tu modifie dans Commons la catégorisation de communes comme :

• Montmagny, Val-d'Oise -> Montmagny (Val-d'Oise)
• Marines, Val-d'Oise -> Marines (Val-d'Oise)

Ce n'est pas une bonne idée, car Commons respecte la syntaxe anglo-saxonne, où le complément géographique est placé après une virgule, et non entre parenthèse comme en Français. Si l'on veut que les personnes qui cherchent des images les trouvent, il est important de respecter cet usage.

Je pense qu'il faudrait donc que tu annules tes modifications.

Désolé ... - Claude_Villetaneuse 05:02, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Montagny-en-Vexin

Hi, you blanked Montagny-en-Vexin, but did not give a reason. I have reinstated the page for the moment. If you want the page deleted, please use {{delete|give a reason}}, create the subpage and an entry on the deletion log. The quicklinks are on the template. Thank you. Deadstar 07:50, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi - I cannot see [[1]] where you said that the picture was not of Montagny-en-Vexin? Anyways - situation is cleared up now. Can you also put a {{speedydelete|empty page}} template on the page so it can be deleted? There's no point in having the page if it's empty. Thanks for your help & kind regards Deadstar 10:05, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I notice you deleted this image after sending a message in August. I also notice you are away for a month. You should have thought that you are not the only one that has better things to do than sitting in front of a screen during the summer. Proposing in August photos to be deleted doesn't seem very clever as you know (at least, you should know) that there will probably be no answers. It's like deleting without warning. Try to remember this for next summer and other vacations' times like Yuletide. Thanks. Gato76680

Hi. I didn't delete this file personally, all I did was tag it as not having a source. Anyhow since files can be restored these things can easily be fixed. If you've got the sufficient source information for the image then all you have to do is got to Commons:Undeletion requests and request that the image be restored. /Lokal_Profil 14:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Ac.redoubt.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Ac.redoubt.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:Ac.redoubt.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!

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Pokrajine spodnja stajerska.png

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Pokrajine spodnja stajerska.png, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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.

Bonsoir !

En fait, j'avais commencé la catégorisation systématique des églises par département. J'avais fort logiquement débuté par l'Ain, et pour ce département ces catégories existaient (voir par exemple Category:Buildings in Ain by city). Du coup, j'ai créé la catégorie cousine pour l'Aisne. Il existe d'ailleurs aussi Category:Buildings in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence by city ou Category:Buildings in Hautes-Alpes by city, créées par d'autres personnes.

They will be populated like the others are already. I just created some from missing départements. There is no reason why some would exist and some wouldn't. Already filled them in Occitanie. --Birdie (talk) 10:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

The reason for some existing and others not existing would be if some were empty. We don't create empty categories just to have a complete set. Do you know when the empty categories might be populated?

By the way, please reply here instead of my talk page. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 14:52, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

As I wrote, I am filling these categories right now. Every département of France has some churches belonging to one or several styles. I don't create categories for fun but because I feel they are missing. --Birdie (talk) 19:52, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Birdie, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Réponse Départements

Bonjour. 1- Doit-on vous rappeler qu'une certaine courtoisie est de mise entre contributeurs et que l'ironie à peine voilée n'en est pas une preuve. 2- L'usage constant, sauf erreur de ma part, est que la catégorie-mère départementale comporte le modèle de base avec "all=1"; ceux sont les catégories-filles qui ne le portent pas permettant de ne faire apparaitre que les liens valides vers les autres départements créés. 3- Même si je suis d'accord avec vous concernant le peu de pertinence des dénominations permettant de ne pas confondre un département avec une rivière ou un fleuve voire une chaîne montagneuse, là encore c'est l'usage constant adopté par le plus grand nombre, et donc jusqu'à l'adoption d'une décision commune pour réformer cette façon de faire et donc le modèle commun, nous devons, vous et moi, nous y conformer, même si c'est à regret. En conclusion renseignez vous un peu mieux sur les us et coutumes avant de vous "emballer" contre un autre contributeur. Cordialement. Finoskov (talk) 11:49, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Then why don't you put the category "built in 2020" into two decade-related categories instead? It doesn't make sense. Anyway, it only makes mess on Wikipedia. It's not always math that matters. Categories are there to help people find relevant media - the 2020s mean the years 2020-2029. --Botev (talk) 09:55, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Maths too. You start counting with the year 1 AD so the first decade of the Christian calendar era ends with the year 10 AD, by counting further into the future you get the years 2011-2020 as the second decade of the 21st century. That's what you're trying to say. However, if people say the 1980s or 1970s they actually mean the years 1980-1989 or 1970-1979, respectively. Noone would say the year 1980 was in the 1970s. That's how it works - not my fault and not according to mathematical rules of counting decades from the beginning of the calendar era. --Botev (talk) 21:15, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Chapelles de cimetières

Bonjour Birdie. Tu as créé la Category:Cemetery chapels in Dordogne. Comme je ne suis pas assez doué en anglais, peux-tu me dire si cette catégorie correspond seulement à des chapelles (petites églises) ou si elle s'étend aux chapelles funéraires comme tu peux en voir plusieurs en bas de page de la Category:Cimetière du Nord (Périgueux).

Why change the flag size?

Why, if the standard il 25px? See any other template of the same type, if you feel it is more useful to the Project that the flag looks bigger get a consensus and let's do it for all states, if it is just your aesthetic POV I'm afraid you have to step back.--Threecharlie (talk) 03:24, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately Commons is not a wiki, there are no thematic discussion bars and there are no pages upon pages of rules and conventions, but I follow common sense and if I find a predominant number of templates where a flag size is used I tend to keep that. I hope you don't mind if I ask for confirmation to an admin who has been dealing with flags (and their relative sizes) on theme templates for a long time. @Blackcat: , please, give us an opinion based on your experience. :-) --Threecharlie (talk) 13:44, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Nobc

There's no reason for this type of edits because as we can see in Monuments and memorials in Germany by century, there are indeed no BC categories. But to make it more simpler, I made template {{Monuments and memorials in Germany by century}} so if some BC category finally appears, then it's enough to remove nobc from template, instead of changing every single century. :) --Orijentolog (talk) 17:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hah, no criticizing, just advising. :) I really appreciate your chronological categorization efforts. Anyway, the point here is not do BC monuments exist in some country, but do we have categories of it or not. For sure there are BC monuments in (let's say) France, however there's no any categories for them yet, that's why nobc=1 stays in template. Of course I'm thinking about future, that's why I made templates for every individual country. Therefore, if BC monuments appear for some country, like recently for Italy, you'll need to make just one edit (like here). --Orijentolog (talk) 06:48, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi again. Thanks for the compliment. In fact, with the template you created for Italy, just one change is needed to show centuries b4 Christ. But in some other cases, it's the "subject by century" template that is used and then, every page has to be changed and they could now be 21! The template is really more practical! Birdie (talk) 07:01, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Not any more! :) After I sent you message above (three days ago), I made the same templates for all other countries (20 templates in total). I spent a hour or two, so you'll spend only a second for changing in future. :) --Orijentolog (talk) 07:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Faleminderit! Very kind of you. But this concerns just the monuments and memorials categories. Most of the categories didn't find yet someone like you to take care of their century templates. Have a nice day. Birdie (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Buildings in England photographed

If you are going to create Buildings in England photographed category, you should also do a null edit to the Buildings in London photographed subcategories so that they get moved there. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:22, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Buildings in England... Category was already existing for several years, especially the latest ones so I started to move the Buildings in London... category to England. Most of the time, London was put in both categories which is a typical case of overcategorisation. If I remember correctly, t'il now, I have done the move until 1960 or a little earlier. Birdie (talk) 16:15, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

I think I set it up so that the London ones would go into the UK one if the England one wasn't created. It made more sense than just creating a bunch of England ones that would only hold the London ones. I wonder if we should merge those London categories upward so it's not just layers of empty categories. Ricky81682 (talk) 00:12, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Grand Est

Bonjour. Attention, la région Grand Est a été créé en 2016, par exemple Category:September 2015 in Grand Est est incohérent. J'ai créé des template, par exemple Template:Month by year in Alsace before 2016 sans mention de la région Grand Est (à défaut d'adapter le code du template principal). Cordialement, Gzen92 (talk) 07:47, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Bonjour Gz... (ce sont aussi mes initiales :-) ), je le sais bien, merci, mais je le fais par souci de cohérence, en mettant en parallèle l'année avec les anciennes régions. Les régions ayant été fusionnées à frontières constantes, elles sont simplement la somme d'anciennes régions. Cela permet ainsi de voir l'historique d'un territoire sans avoir à chercher ses constituants. Imagine pour l'Europe, si l'on était obligé de consulter des historiques à 27, à 28, à 15, à 6 etc. Pendant que j'y suis, remercie bien ton bot qui a abreuvé le site de photos de nos monuments. Je tente petit à petit de les classer plus précisément mais c'est une tâche de très longue haleine. Bonne journée. Birdie (talk) 07:57, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hallo Birdie, Category:Magenta vehicles ist eine Kategorie für die Automarke Magenta, nicht für Autos mit der Farbe Magenta. Darin sind Category:Magenta and orange vehicles‎ und Category:Magenta and purple vehicles‎ enthalten, die da nicht hineingehören. Die Ursache kann ich nicht finden. Vielleicht liegt es an der Vorlage Template:VehicleColors. Da Du dort die letzte Änderung vorgenommen hast, bitte ich Dich, mal zu schauen. Buch-t (talk) 08:56, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Now we have Category:Magenta vehicles and Category:Magenta (UK) vehicles. --Buch-t (talk) 16:05, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Buch-t. Thank you for this good news that fix the problem of the two meanings of Magenta (I must confess I've never seen or heard of any Magenta car, it's not popular here). I know I should have done it earlier but I forgot. Vielen Dank für dein Arbeit und ein gutes Wochenende. Tchüss. Birdie (talk) 16:14, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

English · español · français

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with either:

{{SD|C2}} ("unuseful empty category") if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available

{{SD|C1}} ("improperly named category") if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused (e.g. typos).

You could also use:

{{speedy|empty, misspelled category name}}

The above templates expand to full speedy deletion requests.

In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:17855 works in Pays de la Loire. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

Thank you. (This is a standardized talk page message)

Category:1755 in Saarland by year etc.

Hi Birdie, what is this supposed to be? A mistake maybe? I guess you wanted to create Category:1755 in Saarland by city and similar categories. Regards, --Kleeblatt187 (talk) 20:19, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Category:July 2014 in Occitanie

Hi, This category is not empty, so it can't be deleted. And your request is malformed. Yann (talk) 16:50, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
