Bestiasonica

In December you queried me about HexosesHemiacetal.png, asking what free software was available to make such diagrams. HexosesHemiacetal.png was created with ACD/ChemSketch 10.0 and GIMP 2.2. That is, I first create the diagram with ChemSketch, then refined it with GIMP. Earlier this week I installed GIMP 2.6, which, together with InkScape (also a free package) should enable me to convert diagrams such as this into SVG (scalable vector graphics) files.

GIMP is easy to find.

Go to www.acdlabs.com/products/chem_dsn_lab/chemsketch/ for ACD/ChemSketch.

Another great free package is Discovery Studio Visualizer, which allows you to create space-filling and ball-and-stick models of molecules. Find it at accelrys.com/products/discovery-studio/visualization/discovery-studio-visualizer.html

Hope you find this useful. Karl Hahn (talk) 22:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Logo mobifriends

Hola Bestiasonica, Acabo de veure que has marcat el logo de mobifriends "as a copyright violation." Com s'ha de posar el logo per que no hi hagi problema de "copyright"? Pensava que amb Creative commons 3.0 hi havia prou.

File:AnnaFores.JPG

Prego replantegis la proposta d'esoborrar l'imatge degut a possible violació de Copyright. L'imatge és la pública de la persona sobre la que versa l'article ca:Anna Forés i Miravalles com es pot comprovar a la seva pàgina de Facebook: http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_For%C3%A9s_Miravalles i no té copyright. --Binigausnatura (talk) 04:28, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Hola de nou Bestiasonica, Perdona la meva ignorància, però no sé que fer per a demostrar el que em demanes. He localitzat a la propietària de la foto, Anna Forés, i em diu que la foto és seva, que no està subjecte a cap mena de copyright, que li va fer el fotógraf del barri. Diu que no té cap inconvenient en que es publiqui a la Viquipèdia, ans el contrari. De la mateixa manera que la van publicar els de http://www.plataformaeditorial.com/cont/autores/autores_sola_es.php?idField=23&table=autores i ells no en tenen el copyright. Potser la vaig pujar al lloc on no tocava de Commons? Gràcies i quedo a l'espera dels teus comentaris --Binigausnatura (talk) 10:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

D'aquesta imatge, no hi ha cap autor que n'ostenti els drets de còpia. A la pàgina on tu vas trobar un duplicat d'aquesta imatge, http://www.plataformaeditorial.com/cont/autores/autores_sola_es.php?idField=23&table=autores i per això devies etiquetar possible violació de copyright, tampoc tenen copyright d'aquesta imatge. Els models de carta de cessió de drets que he trobat a [Commons:Email templates] parlen de cessió de qui té els drets, però no en hi ha cap que parli de cessió d'alguna cosa que no pertany a ningú, és a dir, que ningú ha registrat prèviament. El que sí puc fer, si ha de servir d'alguna cosa, és una carta d'autorització signada (com es fa això per mail?) per la senyora fotografiada. O bé si em pots precisar en aquest cas quin model he de fer servir... Quedo a l'espera de les següents indicacions. --Binigausnatura (talk) 20:51, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Dog Fashion Disco from Maryland?

I noticed you removed Category:Dog Fashion Disco from Category:Musical groups from Maryland.

I do not understand it is a group or an individual? --Bestiasonica (talk) 10:04, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Ah! It is a group— a band. (A very weird name for a band.) Like the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, etc. I think that the photos here are from their last performance together. --Closeapple (talk) 12:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I think it could be better the categorization which I have edited recently. It's all right? --Bestiasonica (talk) 01:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, those categories seem reasonable. (Sometimes groups of people, like music bands, are added to categories like Category:People from Baltimore, Maryland also; but I don't know if there is any standard for that. Other corporations and organizations are never in "People" though.) --Closeapple (talk) 03:03, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

(See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Polistes dominula in Ruhland (vs. Polistes gallicus)

Hi Bestiasonica, I want to inform you, that we here in Ruhland / Brandenburg (Germany) have no Polistes gallicus, until now. And all photos in the category are really P. dominula. Therefor I will remove your changes of their nests photos next days.

I know that the species names have changed (formerly P. gallicus to P. dominula, and there is a new P. gallicus now), and species imagos are similiar, but there are some characteristic traits differing between them. Therefor I'm sure now.

Kind regards - and thanks for question on the pictures or category disk page and a little time for talk before next changes. --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 21:40, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

@Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR: I've read that review, on Polistes in western Europe. You're right. Sorry for my mistake. Although GBIF has records of Polistes gallicus in Germany even in and maybe on south Denmark. I don't know how much confident are that records. Thanks for you review. --Bestiasonica (talk) 14:43, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi bestiasonica, thanks for your answer. It's a not quite simple theme. On the one hand the species was renamed, older maps of distribution area show the other species, on the other side P. gallicus seems to go northly and was found in Rhineland-Palatinate. I'm not annoyed about it. Kind regards --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 18:21, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
