Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Ricordisamoa!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Vector version available

Greetings, Ricordisamoa. You recently tagged "ILramzor2.png" with a notice to use "semaforo verticale.svg" If you look very closely, the colors are not the same. The color of "ILramzor2.png" (R-234 G-182 B-0) is the actual color of the Israeli traffic light sign. I hope you don't mind that I reverted your edit. I look forward to someone recreating the Israeli version using vector graphics. Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 12:50, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

@Atefrat: Excuse me, I appreciate your notice. I did not think that those very low color differences were so important. Then I retouched File:Italian traffic signs - semaforo verticale.svg picking colors directly from your image and uploaded the result as File:ILramzor2.svg. I am going to link that image as the proper SVG version. Feel free to comment further and revert the edit if necessary. P.S.: also made thinner the stroke of the triangle.--Ricordisamoa (talk but not stalk) 18:26, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Nice job, Ricordisamoa! Thank you. I will start using the svg. --@Efrat (talk) 18:39, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm glad that you appreciated my job (although it was very easy) and noticed that File:ILramzor2.png is now orphan; maybe you would think to give File:ILramzor2.svg a more descriptive name (or expand the description). And remember that I are fully on hand for vectorizing many other images. --Ricordisamoa (talk but not stalk) 20:08, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

I thought it was appropriate to tag the "png" version for deletion. No need for it anymore. As for the "svg", the description is enough.--@Efrat (talk) 05:40, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

黒石市旗のSVGありがとうございます。

Monument of Nizami Ganjavi

Buongiorno, Ricordi. I'm user from Azerbaijan. The last year in your city, in your beautiful city was erected a monument of a very famous Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi. This monument was erected in Villa Borghese park (in Viale Madama Letizia). Could you make a photo of this monument and upload it to the Commons? Grazie per il vostro tempo)) --Interfase (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

There is no FoP in Italy: see Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Italy. According to this the authors are "the well-known Azerbaijani artists Salhab Mammadov and Ali Ibadullayev", and so the monument will be in Public Domain (and thus reproducible) only after they're both dead from at least 70 years (according to the Italian Copyright). If you think that an exception could be made (perhaps if the monument has been performed in Azerbaijan), please reply. --Ricordisamoa (talk) 11:10, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

File:Civil ensign of Alawite State (proposal).svg etc.

Don't want to discourage your enthusiasm, but these strange unhistorical Gryffindor flags were really not worthy of getting vectorized versions (in fact, deletion would be more appropriate). AnonMoos (talk) 03:54, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

I simply wanted to add a reason for deletion, to get rid of these PNGs, then we can take our time and deal with SVGs later. Also, I am not sure that all fictitious/proposed flags should be deleted, only because they're 'unhistorical' - we have {{Fictitious flag}} for that. But of course, they are personal ideas of Gryffindor, and someone may not agree. --Ricordisamoa (talk) 09:00, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

There's no problem with fictional or proposed flags, if their fictionality or status as proposals is clearly explained. The problem is that Gryffindor seemed to present them as being historical when they were not historical, and was unable to explain with much clarity the purpose or motivation for creating the images. Anyway, it's actually more his problem than your problem, but I thought I'd alert you to the potential issue; thanks... AnonMoos (talk) 09:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

SVG headers

If you're working from a master list of SVG files without xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", then if you felt like sharing the list, I could quickly fix all my own old uploads... AnonMoos (talk) 09:51, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

No: when I find one, I fix it. I wonder if there's a list of those files (maybe in Toolserver...) Ricordisamoa (talk) 10:44, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

OK; I fixed a number of images which stopped displaying in my gallery, or which I had uploaded since September 2009, when Bug 41174 kicked in -- but my records of my Wikipedia and Commons uploads before September 2009 are disorganized (I have almost all the files still on hard drive, but it's hard to know which versions were actually uploaded, so it's difficult to search for SVGs missing xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"). AnonMoos (talk) 15:25, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Bot

Ok, thanks for info. I managed to fix an additional seven or eight of my old uploads in February. I left File:POL Opalenica COA.svg in place as a "guinea pig" test image, since according to some of the people on Bugzilla it shouldn't exist -- an SVG file uploaded without xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" as late as April 2011 which still displays... AnonMoos (talk) 06:47, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

P.S. File:10th Panzer Division logo 1.svg in its original form didn't actually technically require xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", since it had xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" and all tags had svg: prefixes... AnonMoos (talk) 07:06, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, those files are still kind of strange -- it's up to you whether you want to include them or not... AnonMoos (talk) 12:04, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

My flags

Is ok to delete one of my flags only if there's a svg version of it, but I'm the original author, and the original idea is mine. I have all the right to put my username in the svg flag. Julius C (talk) 17:44, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

In File:Royal flag of Japan (Proposal).svg you deleted the authors information for File:Flag of Japan.svg, from which the SVG was created; I agree to credit your idea, but please do it in the proper way. --Ricordisamoa (talk) 01:24, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Excuse me for eliminate the names, I thought that the work only you did it, I'm not an expert in SVG format. I already fixed it.

Flag deletions

Greetings, Ricordisamoa. I noticed all of the flag deletion notices. You may wish to take a look at French Mandate of Syria and Lebanon. Maybe it can help as a reference to defend the images as they are or, in some cases, to make adjustments to the images. Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 07:50, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

File:Flag of County Clare.svg

Template:User translationadmin

Hi Ricordisamoa. I noticed that "on Wikimedia Commons" disappears on Template:User translationadmin. Can you fix it? Regards, Trijnstel_talk 19:49, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

 fixed. {{Autotranslate}} passed the "1" parameter to {{User translationadmin/text}}, that showed it instead of the "Wikimedia Commons" link. --Ricordisamoa 20:03, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm not very technical, but thanks for fixing. :) Trijnstel_talk 20:13, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

And now you are even of female gender in the German translation. -- Rillke^(q?) 23:19, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Ricordisamoa, it would be great if you could use the gender-magic-word in the source language on user page templates that should be translated. Thank you. -- Rillke^(q?) 23:19, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Welcome, dear translation administrator!

Hi Ricordisamoa, thanks for your application for translation administrator. Your request was closed as successful, and you've been added to the list of translation administrators.

Please take a moment to read our help page before marking pages for translation.

For existing translations

Make sure to move all existing translations to language subpages (/fr, /de, etc.). Pages with existing translations need to have them manually copied to the new system or some process to be created for it. Translation administrators must ensure existing translations don't get lost or hidden, or translators will be unhappy and we'll lose them.

Richiesta bot

Ciao! Scrivo qui la richiesta visto che hai detto che potresti occupartene (e perché è meglio non farmi scrivere in inglese).

Sarebbe possibile inserire nel Template:Artwork delle immagini presenti nella categoria Category:Raccolte Extraeuropee del Castello Sforzesco da "Raccolte Extraeuropee - AFR 00583 - Bracciale moneta (Manilla).jpg" a "Raccolte Extraeuropee - AFR 00977 - Bracciale moneta (Manilla).jpg", nel parametro notes la stringa "scheda a cura delle [http://www.comune.milano.it/dseserver/webcity/Documenti.nsf/webHomePage?OpenForm&settore=MCOI-66DC9L_HP Raccolte Extraeuropee]"?

Inoltre, andrebbe inserita, sempre nel parametro notes, la stringa "Ivan Bargna (author of source for first revision), Carolina Orsini (scientific director)" per le immagini sempre della categoria Category:Raccolte Extraeuropee del Castello Sforzesco dalla "Raccolte Extraeuropee - AFR 00001 Bassani - Maschera Bamana - Mali.jpg" alla "Raccolte Extraeuropee - AFR 00073 Bassani - Maschera Bamana - Mali.jpg".

Grazie. -- Yiyi (talk) 11:22, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

È richiesto da qualche condizione di utilizzo? E, se sì, proprio in italiano? Commons dovrebbe essere un progetto multilingue, magari è meglio un template come questo... --Ricordisamoa 11:34, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Andrebbe fatto in italiano perché è stato fatto in italiano per tutti gli altri file caricati per Share Your Knowledge dalle raccolte extraeuropee del Castello Sforzesco. La richiesta deriva dal fatto che la responsabile delle Raccolte Extraeuropee ha richiesto questo inserimento (che all'epoca, per una svista, non era stato effettuato). -- Yiyi (talk) 11:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Ciao! Ci sono novità per il bot? -- Yiyi (talk) 19:42, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Per il primo inserimento: va bene così? --Ricordisamoa 23:01, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

(E comunque rimane il forte invito all'internazionalizzazione). --Ricordisamoa 23:02, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Sì, perfetto. Per l'internazionalizzazione, il secondo inserimento è già in inglese, mentre per il primo, se vuoi, puoi aggiungere anche la stessa stringa in inglese (cosa che però andrebbe fatta in tutte le immagini di quella stessa categoria in cui compare quella stringa nel parametro notes). -- Yiyi (talk) 11:17, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Ripeto, si può (e si dovrebbe) creare un template, che permetterebbe:

• traduzioni molto più semplici e praticamente in tutte le lingue
• possibilità di cambiare il testo in qualsiasi momento
• testo più breve nel parametro "notes".

Idee su come chiamarlo? --Ricordisamoa 11:31, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Ma intendi un template da inserire nel parametro "notes"? -- Yiyi (talk) 11:34, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Esattamente. --Ricordisamoa 11:37, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Mmmm... Non lo so proprio... -- Yiyi (talk) 11:38, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Ancora io :) Ma il bot è giàgirato? Perché, per esempio, in questo file: File:Raccolte Extraeuropee - AFR 00596 - Bracciale moneta (Manilla) (2).jpg non è stato inserito nulla... -- Yiyi (talk) 16:58, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

No, non è ancora girato, aspetto risposte per l'internazionalizzazione. --Ricordisamoa 00:51, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Io però non so come farla... -- Yiyi (talk) 07:33, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Potrebbe fungere qualcosa come questo? --Ricordisamoa 17:54, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Suppongo di sì :) -- Yiyi (talk) 19:47, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Ogni tanto ritorno a tormentarti :) Qui ho inserito anche la seconda stringa. Ora riesci a inserirle? -- Yiyi (talk) 16:18, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Divine Idea

Hi Ricordisamoa, thanks a lot for your idea at Template:User translationadmin. I tried to document this neat technique at Help:Autotranslate#ext.translate. One issue is remaining, though: We need a way to invoke the LangageConverter (this thingy transforms for example modern Chinese into traditional Chinese) through autotranslate (because with extension translate, you can't translate into zh-hans or zh-hant -- only to zh). Do you know a solution? BTW, if you would like to have your translation admin right restored, I would support your request (though I can't fulfill it). -- Rillke^(q?) 14:04, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Instead, it seems to me that those languages are fully supported: see zh-hans and zh-hant. BTW, I resigned from translation administration because of these misunderstandings with Steinsplitter. I'm aware that TA is a hard work here at Commons, but I could come back in the next months. --Ricordisamoa 18:24, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

zh-hans and zh-hant just differ in script (I learned this in bugzilla:49898) and following the links you provided gives Translate in zh please. -- Rillke^(q?) 20:24, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

As written in bugzilla:49898#c5, appending "variant=zh-hant" to the querystring should work fine. --Ricordisamoa 23:22, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

But it doesn't work if the page viewed is not a /zh subpage and you can not pass "variant=zh-hant" to autotranslate. Note that users specified which variant they would like to view in their language preferences. -- Rillke^(q?) 10:32, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Derivative FX

Nel ringraziarti per la cortese risposta al mio post sull'argomento, ti chiedo gentilmente chiarimenti sul "tuo metodo di caricamento" di una immagine derivata. All'ultima maschera devi inserire manualmente tutti I dati relative ad autore, copyright, imagine derivate, eccetera? Grazie. --Massimo Telò _(scrivimi) 13:00, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Dopo aver cliccato "Upload file" in derivativeFX, si viene reindirizzati a Special:Upload, che mostra l'avviso "Non è stato possibile elaborare la modifica perché sono andati persi i dati relativi alla sessione"; tuttavia, il campo "Summary
(also add a license tag if
those below do not apply):" risulta già compilato con i dati scelti in precedenza: a questo punto è sufficiente selezionare il file nell'apposita casella "Source filename:" e cliccare su "Upload file". --Ricordisamoa 14:47, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Se ciò non si dovesse verificare, assicurati di essere loggato a Commons (forse lo sei in HTTP ma non HTTPS o viceversa). --Ricordisamoa 15:08, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

A me nell'ultima schermata NON compare alcun avviso "Non è stato possibile elaborare la modifica perché sono andati persi i dati relativi alla sessione" nè alcun campo precompilato scelto in precedenza.... --Massimo Telò _(scrivimi) 17:29, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Nell'ultima schermata (in Commons) risulti loggato? Il protocollo è diverso da quello di partenza su Toolserver? --Ricordisamoa 22:56, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Are there any updates about your plan of developing a derivative tool to replace the one built by Luxo? Schwede66 23:30, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Hammer and sickle.svg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Hammer and sickle.svg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. 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. 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!

Thanks for fixing an image

To have conversations about Wikidata, learn this diagram!

Thank you for fixing the diagram explaining Wikidata. I know you just made a minor change but it added credibility to a very useful image. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:05, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

SamoaBot and Assessment template

Hi, Ricardisamoa

Please notice that there is no consensus for merging the QI template into the Assessemnt template. This has been discussed some time ago and the the consensus recahed is that it sould not. So, please revert the changes SamoaBot has made. Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:35, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

I replied on Commons talk:Quality images candidates to keep discussion central. --Ricordisamoa 21:56, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• Thank you for your reaction. Now, you know that no consensus were ever reached to insert the QI tag on the Assessment template. Thus, please revert the changes SamoaBot has made and feel free to start a fresh discussion on the subject. Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:31, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, If i remember correctly you ported delinker to core? --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:39, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

@Steinsplitter: I initially filed gerrit:148447 to fill in the new repository, but then abandoned it in favor of gerrit:151314, which was merged. You should instead ask Legoktm, who also uploaded gerrit:151371. --Ricordisamoa 19:24, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Procedura di cancellazione

Ciao, Ricordisamoa.
Potresti farmi il favore di annullare questa procedura di cancellazione che hai aperto? Come vedi sono qui, vivo e vegeto e continuo a editare su Wikipedia e su Commons, quindi basta mandarmi un messaggio e sistemo tutto. Sono stato piuttosto impegnato in questo periodo e continuo ad esserlo tutt'ora, per tale motivo non ho sistemato le cose prima. Se puoi farmi cortesemente questo favore, nel frattempo provvedo a contattare il sito proprietario delle foto e gli spiego la situazione. A parte che con quelle foto messe in cancellazione se quelli del sito mi chiedono che sta succedendo gli devo spiegare tutta la situazione e ciò complica ulteriormente la situazione, perché possono fraintendere sull'accaduto e decidere di comportarsi in maniera differente restringendo la licenza invece di allargarla.
Penso che tra wikipediani dovremmo darci una mano l'un l'altro piuttosto che renderci la vita difficile.
Sto facendo sforzi enormi per conciliare gli impegni lavorativi con Wikipedia e per coinvolgere siti e privati su Wikipedia (vedi ad esempio i contributi di questo utente, che si è avvicinato da poco a Commons dopo che gli ho chiesto se voleva pubblicare le sue foto), spero che ciò sia apprezzato. Grazie. --Daniele Pugliesi (talk) 04:52, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Se possibile, preferirei contattare di nuovo il sito dopo che la pdc sia stata annullata, in modo da rendere tutto più semplice per tutti. Fammi sapere. --Daniele Pugliesi (talk) 05:02, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Ho inviato un'email al sito MeteoWeb chiedendo la modifica della licenza sul loro sito e indicando loro come fare. Sarei grato se la procedura di cancellazione potesse essere annullata in attesa di un loro riscontro. Suppongo infatti che una volta cancellate le immagini su Commons non si possano più recuperare come avviene per le pagine di Wikipedia che invece restano archiviate, quindi eventualmente dovessero rispondere in ritardo o se dovessero impiegare un po' più di tempo per aggiustare la licenza mi tocca poi ricaricare tutte le immagini una ad una... Per aprire un'altra pdc si fa invece sempre in tempo. Ho contattato la redazione precedentemente e mi avevano dato il via libera: quindi stai sicuro che non si viene a lamentare nessuno per quelle foto se rimangono una settimana in più prima che la licenza sia corretta. --Daniele Pugliesi (talk) 05:42, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

@Daniele Pugliesi: Tutti i file rimangono archiviati e possono essere recuperati dagli amministratori, naturalmente solo dietro attestazione di licenza libera. Ti ringrazio per il prezioso impegno e mi scuso se sembro affetto da "copyright paranoia", ma ribadisco la delicatezza della questione: mancando l'autorizzazione scritta dagli aventi diritto, attribuire la licenza ai file potrebbe costituire un reato (IANAL). Ho comunque aggiunto una nota alla procedura. --Ricordisamoa 08:01, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Ok, grazie. --Daniele Pugliesi (talk) 20:05, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Photo requests

Do you do photo requests in Rome and Milan? WhisperToMe (talk) 02:56, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

@WhisperToMe: I think you could easily find much more skilled photographers with much better cameras, even closer to Rome and Milan than I am, at our Bar. However, should noone else take the job, I may be able to fulfill it. Beware of Italy's non-FoP laws! --Ricordisamoa 23:31, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice! I am aware of the FOP issue... if some images aren't eligible for the Commons they can be uploaded to EN locally WhisperToMe (talk) 23:40, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Commons bot inactivity

Hello!

Your bot has been listed at Commons:Bots/Requests/de-flag 5 as being inactive for over two years. As a housekeeping measure we'd like to remove the bot flag from inactive bot accounts, unless you expect the bot will be operated again in the near future. If you wish for your bot to retain it's bot flag, please speak up on the deflag page. If you consent to the removal of the bot flag (or do not reply on the deflag page) you can re-request the bot flag at Commons:Bots/Requests should you need it again.

Is there any metadata on the file "flag of österlen.svg" that can prove that it's my creation? Unfortunately I uploaded the image with the anonymous nick "BombiBitt" (forgot the password)

editToken

Hello Ricordisamoa. I just wanted to let you know that editToken is deprecated, and you still use it in one or more of your userspace scripts. If you want your user script(s) to work properly, please replace editToken with csrfToken in source code of the scripts. You'll need to change the following script(s):

• User:Ricordisamoa/FPwallpaper.js
• User:Ricordisamoa/XMLNSense.js
• User:Ricordisamoa/Blurry.js
• User:Ricordisamoa/Duplicate.js

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
