QI

We have a bot which handles the gruntwork - it removes images which are not commented on within X days, not those which merely were posted X days ago. Please leave it to do its job. -mattbuck (Talk) 10:45, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Tell me if I'm wrong but afaik there is no bot closing the consensual reviews. And the bot is stopped often so the queue gets bigger and bigger. What really counts are the guidelines, no matter if a human or a bot does the work. --Ikiwaner (talk) 10:57, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I believe that humans have to decide on CR by changing it from discuss to promotion or decline, and at that point it will be sorted. It runs at roughly noon GMT every day, and finishes its job within 20mins or so. -mattbuck (Talk) 11:01, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I closed most of the CRs this morning, so the bot should handle them in an hour or so. --Quartl (talk) 11:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Well I was wrong on the closure procedure but still your revert does not make sense. --Ikiwaner (talk) 16:43, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

You removed several discussions which had yet to be idle for the week or so - heck, one had a timestamp (confusingly) from tomorrow. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:04, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Really? Besides the images that got automatically archived a few hours after you reverted me there are just three other images left that I closed unassessed, the oldest of them being nominated half a month ago. The guidelines say: Nominated images which have not generated assessments either to promote nor to decline, or a consensus (equal opposition as support in consensual review) after 8 days on this page should be removed from this page without promotion. I hope it's not your understanding that this is 8 days after the last comment. It's 8 days from nomination. Otherwise an image can stay forever on the list. --Ikiwaner (talk) 17:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Werbung

Hallo Ikiwaner, auch wenn das Bild nicht von dir ist, wird Werbung für FPC bei QIC als unangebracht angesehen. Ich habe deinen Edit daher rückgängig gemacht, ich hoffe du verstehst das. Viele Grüße, --Quartl (talk) 14:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Quartl, ich verstehe deinen Einwand und deinen Revert nicht. Was soll daran falsch sein? Ich habe gar keine Empfehlung abgegeben, sondern nur verlinkt. Es ist doch in unser aller Interesse, wenn möglichst viele Leute abstimmen?! --Ikiwaner (talk) 15:12, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Exactly. There is no Werbung nor COI here, so I reverted the revert. Regards. Lycaon (talk) 16:42, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Ich verstehe zwar nicht ganz, wie ein Link auf eine gleichzeitige FP-Kandidatur hilft, die Qualität eines Bildes besser einzuschätzen (und darum geht es primär bei QIC), aber wenn der Revert unangebracht war, dann möchte ich mich dafür entschuldigen. Der Schaden wurde ja von Lycaon schon repariert. Viele Grüße, --Quartl (talk) 17:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Mal halblang, ein Schaden ist nicht entstanden, ein Wiki lebt von verschiedenen Meinungen. Nach meinem Verständnis sind die QI eine Art Vorfilter für FP. Nominierungen, die ohne Gegenstimme mehrere positive Feedbacks erhalten, schneiden als FP normalerweise gut ab. Ich finde QI auch ein gutes Mittel, die Bilder der anderen Fotografen zu betrachten. Und wenn ich dann ein Bild für FP nominiere, interessiert es mich doch, ob und wieviele andere Benutzer das auch so sehen. Es ist nicht zu erwarten, dass wir in naher Zukunft mit solchen Links überschwemmt werden. --Ikiwaner (talk) 17:44, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Ich hätte "Schaden" in Anführungszeichen setzen sollen, natürlich ist ein solcher nicht entstanden. Gute QIs bekommen in der Regel auch nur eine Pro-Stimme, ein Indikator für potentielle FPs ist höchstens ein früher Zeitpunkt der Promotion und/oder ein sehr positiver Kommentar. Bei FP bin ich derzeit allerdings nicht sonderlich aktiv (mehr bei KEB in :de). Ich sehe QI und FP schon als recht unterschiedlich an, was die Zielsetzung betrifft.

review

•  Oppose This one is of much higher technical quality than the other one you mentioned, sadly, the branch blocks much of the bird. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 23:41, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment I agree that the image would be better if we'd see more of the bird and I had nominated it for FP then. But according to the criteria a VI is the best available image of its type on Commons, not the best that can be conceived of. To distinguish the Tawny Eagle from other brown predators it's important to see at least one leg, the eye and the bill which is not the case in any other image. If there is another image you think is more valuable feel free to nominate it. --Ikiwaner (talk) 17:00, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
•  Support Best in scope. This one is also good but it only shows the upper half of the bird. --Quartl (talk) 08:01, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Lens

Hi, I was just wondering what lens you used for the Serengeti and Ngorongoro trips. --Muhammad (talk) 16:23, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Muhammad, I bought a EF-S 55-200 before I first came to Africa. Unfortunately it suddenly stopped working shortly after landing in Namimbia last year. I had to shoot all my wildlife pictures with a standard zoom! So I thought I need a reliable and desert-proof lens for Tanzania and I got the EF 100-400 F 4.5-5.6L IS USM. BTW: The lens information is stored in the image metadata. Congratulations to your picture of the zebras in Ngorongoro. I was unlucky with zebras on my trip but had luck with other animals. --Ikiwaner (talk) 16:33, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

I could only see the 400mm in the metadata so was not sure. Anyway, the pictures are amazing. It seems my luck was with zebras and wildebeests only :-) Hope to see some north TZ pics soon --Muhammad (talk) 23:30, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Your comment on my QI-candidate "Balearica pavonina"

Halli Ikiwaner,
many thanks you for your comments on my QI-candidate (nominated September 5), you're right, it is B. regulorum. I changed all descriptions and also the file name. Could you please rewiev it again? Many thanks. --Llez (talk) 06:15, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Lieber Llez, vielen Dank, dass du dich um die Verbesserung deines Bildes gekümmert hast. Ich habe deine Änderungen schon gesehen, aber da ich gleichzeitig ein Bild zum gleichen Thema als FP-Kandidat habe, fände ich es nicht fair, abzustimmen. Ansonsten würde ich das Bild ablehnen, weil der weisse Teil am Kopf überbelichtet ist und darum die feinen Punkte verloren gehen. Bei Luc Viatours Bild aus demselben Park sieht man die sehr schön. Ich bedauere, dir keine bessere Antwort geben zu können. --Ikiwaner (talk) 11:46, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

QI review

Salut Ikiwaner l'Africain !
Puis-je t'écrire en français ? C'est naturellement plus facile pour moi. Réponds moi dans la langue que tu préfères (Fr, en, ou de) si tu souhaites me répondre.
Merci de ton message.
merci surtout de tes magnifiques photos d'Afrique qui font rêver, même si j'ai des opinions qui me font parfois m'opposer à leur promotion. C'est le jeu !
Je ne suis pas sûr de devoir mettre le template "support" ou le template "oppose" dans le vote initial. Celà me parait évident, puisque j'ai créé un cadre jaune "Discuss" pour donner une opinion opposée à celle du au premier votant ("pro" pour le fifre, "contra" pour ta lionne). Est-ce la règle ? C'est difficile, parce que ça devient illisible dans la Consensual review qui suit. Comme les deux votes s'annulent, c'est comme s'il n'y en avait pas. Ou alors, il faut mettre les deux signes, dans la revue initiale, ce qui ne se fait pas jusqu'à présent.
Ce n'est pas un problème pour moi, je ferai ce qui sera décidé, mais pour l'instant la règle me paraît un peu floue.
Je veux bien discuter de ça avec les autres.
Bien cordialement à toi depuis Paris, --Jebulon (talk) 15:51, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Lieber Jebulon, danke deine Antwort, selbstverständlich lese ich deine Bemerkungen gerne auf Französisch. Ich hoffe, dass du meine Ablehung der Steinvase nicht personlich nimmst, aber wie du sagst: c'est le jeu!

Es gibt keine Vorschrift, dass man  Oppose oder  Support schreiben muss, aber es erleichtert es allen Leuten. Dein Argument, das Consensual Review würde unleserlich verstehe ich nicht, schau dir doch mal die Seite an, nachdem ich manuell die Tags gesetzt habe. Ich finde es jetzt leserlicher. Ja, am Besten setzt du auch ein  Oppose oder  Support beim ersten Review. Manchmal kommt es auch vor, dass jemand einen Kommentar abgibt, anschliessend jemand zustimmt und dann jemand ablehnt. In solchen Fällen wird es sehr schwierig, die Stimmen zu zählen, ohne die Templates. Liebe Grüsse nach Paris --Ikiwaner (talk) 17:30, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

• Hallo Ikiwafrikaner !

Kein problem für mich mit dem Steinvase natürlich. Ich weiss (und sehe) dass Du nie persönnlich sprichst
Ich verstehe was du sagst über erleichung, vielleicht bist Du richtig.
Je vais donc désormais mettre le petit signe  Support ou  Oppose dès le premier vote, de façon à le différencier du  Comment. Cela va-t'il faire double emploi avec les cadres bleus verts jaunes ou rouges ? On verra bien.
essayons.
Salut, sous l'orage parisien ce soir. --Jebulon (talk) 17:18, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

File:Niederlauterbach 290.jpg

Hallo Ikiwaner Vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung zu meinem Bild, das User:LuFiLa vorgeschlagen hat. Leider bin ich in Bildbearbeitung denkbar unerfahren und habe keine Ahnung, wie ich den Sensorstaub (wo ist der eigentlich?) entferne und die Perspektive entzerre. Gut, dass du deutsch kannst, dann ist es weniger kompliziert als auf Englisch -- Badener  06:41, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Hoi Badener, willkommen im Klub! Das Entzerren hat sich in den letzen Jahren für dokumentarische Architekturfotografie bei QI einbegürgert, warum die schiefen Häuser am Rand tolerieren, wenn es auch ohne geht? Den Staub habe ich eingezeichnet. Ihn zu entfernen geht mit verschiedenen Methoden, ich benutze meistens den Healing Brush in Photoshop. Gimp wird was analoges haben, wahrscheinlich auch die Canon-Software DPP. Die Perspektive entzerrst du am besten mit Hugin. Wie das geht steht in der Anleitung Architekturfotografie mit Hugin, noch eins hier. Meine persönlichen Tipps:

1. Bilder, in denen die Perspektive um mehr als 20° korrigiert werden muss, wirken schlecht. Suche in diesem Fall einen weiter entfernten Standpunkt. (Kein Problem in diesem Bild)
2. Überkorrigiere die Perspektive nicht, sondern reduziere den vom Optimierer gefundenen Nickwinkel um etwa 1.5°.

Viel Geduld beim Üben und Freude am Resultat. --Ikiwaner (talk) 10:38, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Aber wie es dort heisst ist die Situation hier in der Schweiz anders und auch im Kanton Zürich gibt es eine Autoindex, der online abrufbar ist. Ist da nicht Vorsicht geboten? -- Badener  12:43, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Als Architekturfotograf hätte ich es ja bevorzugt, wenn ein Foto ohne hässliche Autoschlangen an diesem Abend möglich gewesen wäre. War es aber nicht. Ich bin gegen den Zeitgeist, ohne triftige Argumente immer neue Dinge verbieten zu wollen. Und meines Wissens ist das Fotografieren in der Stadt ohne Verpixelung zum Glück noch nicht verboten. --Ikiwaner (talk) 11:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

File:Etosha elefant.jpg in voller Auflösung

Hallo Ikiwaner,

eine gute Freundin von mir, die ein großer Elefanten-Fan ist ist auf dein Bild "Etosha elefant" gestoßen und würde es gerne als Poster für ihr Zimmer drucken lassen. Die Auflösung des Bildes hier auf Wikimedia ist ja sicher nicht die volle, die EOS 40D hat ja 10 Mega Pixel. Wäre es möglich, dass du mir das Bild für diesen Zweck in voller Auflösung zukommen lässt? Das wäre total genial. [email protected] Viele Grüße Rüdiger

Lieber Rüdiger, schön, dass dir mein Bild gefällt. Besagtes Bild ist etwas beschnitten, da mit einem Weitwinkelobjektiv fotografiert. Daher gibt es keine höher aufgelöste Version. Du kannst aber beruhigt sein, es wird auch so ein schönes Poster, solange du es nicht ausschliesslich aus 10cm Entfernung beobachtest. LG, --Ikiwaner (talk) 11:24, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Request

Hallo Ikiwaner, I am in the process of publishing a book on the history of Ornithology on a “print on demand” basis. I found your amazing photo of the Blue Wildebeest and would like to include it in my book. I wondered if you would allow me to do so free of charge. I will include a clear attribution to you in the book, and gladly let you have a complimentary copy of the book. Thank you. Tian Hattingh.

Guten Tag

Bei diesem Bild handelt es sich nicht um das Gemeindehaus von Rothenthurm, sondern um den Pfarrhof.

Das ist das Gemeindehaus: http://www.rothenthurm.ch/Standorte.191.0.html

Wollen Sie dies auf Wikipedia korrigieren?

Tanne

Sehr geehrter Herr Ikiwaner!

Ich habe Ihr wuderschönes Bild einer Tanne auf Wikipedia gesehen und würde dieses gerne in einem Buch veröffentlichen, Die Abbildung wäre nicht sehr groß, höchstens 10cm hoch. Zu welchen Bedingungen wäre dies möglich?

Tansania habe ich übrigens vor drei Jahren erstmals bereist und war sehr beeindruckt.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Wolfgang Dvorak-Stocker

Lieber Wolfgang, vielen Dank für dein Interesse an meinem Bild. Leider weiss ich nicht, um welches es sich handelt. Generell sind alle meine früheren Bilder unter GFDL 1.2 oder CC-By-SA publiziert. Das bedeutet, dass an üblicher Stelle mein Pseudonym erwähnt werden muss und die Lizenz. Die neueren Bilder sind ausschliesslich unter GFDL 1.2 nutzbar. Das bedeutet, dass mein Pseudonym erwähnt werden muss und der Lizenztext abgedruckt oder digital hinterlegt werden muss. Solltest du einen Abdruck der Lizenz bei neueren Bildern vermeiden wollen, stehen die Bilder gegen ein übliches Entgelt zur Verfügung. --Ikiwaner (talk) 13:42, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Es handelt sich bestimmt um File:Stein SG Tanne.jpg. --Leyo 15:05, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I use some of your photos

Hi Ikiwaner!

I have use some photos of Pan troglodytes from wikimedia in my free software educational proyect "Animalandia" (http://herramientas.educa.madrid.org/animalandia)

You can see directy in the follow links and click over "Siguiente" ("Next") several times:

http://herramientas.educa.madrid.org/animalandia/imagen.php?id=33296

If you wish, you can send me some letters or/and a photo for your "contributor card" in Animalandia:

http://herramientas.educa.madrid.org/animalandia/autor.php?nombre=Ikiwaner

This is my "contributor card", for example:

http://herramientas.educa.madrid.org/animalandia/autor.php?nombre=Fernando%20Lis%F3n%20Mart%EDn

In the future, I use more of your photos, I sure!

Thank you for the licence and, of course, for your splendid photos!! Regards! Fernando Lisón --Fernando.lison (talk)

Thanks for the compliment, thanks for mentioning my alias and trying to respect the license. However, these pictures are licensed under GFDL v 1.2 only hence the link on you site leads to the wrong target. I'm sure this can be solved. Regards --Ikiwaner (talk) 13:49, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I apologize for my error with your licenses... Already is all OK. Have you think about your contributor card?? Cheers. Fernando Lisón --Fernando.lison (talk)

Photo Credit for Museum

Hello lkiwaner, I am working to produce content for a new science museum that is opening in Spokane, Washington for an exhibit about the Ice Age Floods. We would like to use one of your photos in the exhibit, and would like to know what your name is so that we can credit the photos. Would you be willing to provide that information? Your photos are wonderful, and have been a great asset to us! Thank you very much! You can also reach me at [email protected].

Best, Stephanie Lanning

Creative Commons?

Hi Ikiwaner - is there any reason why you do not use Creative Commons licenses for your photos? The lack of these makes your images inaccessible to some users of Wikimedia Commons material, such as the Encyclopedia of Life. It would be nice if you would consider adding Creative Commons licenses, please! Thanks - MPF (talk) 23:52, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes there is. First I see no point why commercial usepapers and maganzines should be able to use my pictures for free without conributing to my equipment and travel. Second, I don't like the philosophy of CC that is relying on a internet website. Copyright is a long-term thing and I have no evidence that in 100 years the website will still be there. On the other hand, with GFDL 1.2 the license must be stored together with the image whereever digital or analogue. Third, GFDL allows modifications but requires you to keep a version history in order not to mess up with versions. CC doesn't. If sites like EoL don't want GFDL, it's their problem. For a websites, scientific use or open source projects I can't see a restriction that would hurt. --Ikiwaner (talk) 11:02, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification! I'll ask EoL about GFDL. - MPF (talk) 21:56, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Using one of your pictures in a textbook

I will be using your Winterthur Stadthaus picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Winterthur_Stadthaus.jpg) in a textbook (it shows at about 5 cm high, in an illustrations appendix, with some comment and the credits in the legend immediately below). This being printed text, would you still want it to be credited to 'Wikimedia:Ikiwaner'? I could also/alternatively add a real name, location, etc. I can also be contacted at thechabon a a a t hot mail d o o t com. Thanks very much for uploading that great picture.

Lizenzcode bei Ikiwaner-Fotos

Wie lautet die korrekte Bildquelle, wenn man Ikiwaner-Fotos aus Gombe honorarfrei in einer gedruckten Broschüre verwenden möchte? Etwa so?

Ikiwaner: Seitenzahl (via Wikimedia Commons), Lizenz: GNU-Lizenz für freie Dokumentation, Version 1.2

Oder anders?

Vielen Dank und viele Grüße, urzeit

Nachtrag: Sehe gerade, dass der komplette Lizenztext veröffentlich werden soll. Das sieht in einem gedruckten Werk unmöglich aus. Da muss ich wohl verzichten.

Photo Usage

Hello Ikiwaner,

Senem Deviren and I have recently completed the writing of a manuscript for an academic book entitled, “The Greening of Architecture,” which is being published by Ashgate Limited in London. We are asking for your permission to publish one of your images.

The book will be printed with black and white photographs and drawings and is primarily oriented to scholarly and professional audiences in architecture and planning. It is a history of the greening of contemporary architecture focusing between 1960 and 2010. Each chapter is a decade and describes the events, technical developments and seminal works of architecture and urban design during each ten-year period. We feel that this is an important and timely body of work, and we would love to include your project as a part of this history.

We would like to include the photograph of Black Rhino in our dedication page. We found the image at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ngorongoro_Spitzmaulnashorn_edit1.jpg

We would be glad if you allow us to use you photo. Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Phill

Thank You for the Wikipedia Pictures

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware pictures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crocuta_crocuta.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serekunda_market.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely,  Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Chimpanzee

Hello Ikiwaner, I'm currently editing the Common Chimpanzee article in the Hebrew Wikipedia, and wanted to thank you for your beautiful photos from Gombe Stream National Park. Do you perhaps know if the female with two pups photographed in Gombe_Stream_NP_Mutter_und_Kinder.jpg is the one named Gremlin with the twins Golden and Glitter, which appear in many of the videos on Dr. Goodall website, such as this one?

Also, I was searching Commons for any free photographs of common chimpanzees using tools in the wild, with no success. I wondered if you know where such photographs can be found?

Kind Regards, H. sapiens (talk) 14:39, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Savanna Image

Hello,

My name is Joe Kamberos, and I am the assistant to the Project Coordinator for the International Jesuit Ecology Project (IJEP) at Loyola University of Chicago. IJEP is a three-year project to create an online Living Text that addresses select environmental challenges from an integrated scientific, moral, and spiritual perspective. This Living Text, Healing Earth, will be a curricular resource for environmental studies teachers and students in Jesuit institutions of higher education and secondary schools worldwide. You can find more information about IJEP at http://www.luc.edu/ijep/index.shtml.

We are beginning to create the framework for the online text using the Biodiversity chapter. One of our writers found an image which I traced to your site http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Savanna#mediaviewer/File:Kiang_West_savanna.jpg. We would like to credit you for your photo, but I was unable to find your name. Will you please send information regarding how you would like to be credited?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you, Joe
