Hello, Chris die Seele!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

File:Coat of arms of Dnipro.svg

Hallo Chris die Seele, ich nehme einfach mal an, dass du Deutsch eher kannst als Englisch (eine der slawischen Sprachen bin ich leider nicht mächtig). Vorweg noch ein sehr großes Lob an deine grafische Arbeit ihr, wirklich erstaunlich (ob sie tatsächlich von dir ist möchte ich eigtl. gar nicht wissen ^^). Zum betr. Wappen wollte ich nur sagen, dass hier eine dunkle Kontur doch fehlt (von mir aus aus auch sehr dunkles Blau wie im "Original", man erkennt in kleinerer Vorschau einen deutlichen Verwaschnungseffekt). Das Blau zu vereinheitlichen war IMO eine richtige Entscheidung (die helle Kontur der Mauerkrone und des Schildes sollte noch ersetzt werden.) Beste Grüße und ein frohes Neues 2017. PS: Falls du mal etwas schneller ersetzen möchtest habe ich hier ein Script welches auch schon die Dateinamen vorausfüllt bei gesetztem VVA. ↔ User: Perhelion 15:53, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

File descriptions (UploadWizard)

Hey Chris die Seele, your SVG drawings are near excellent but on the other hand your file descriptions are pure crap.[1] :-P I notify you because it is not a single case, you create this crap on assembly line. I recommend for you don't use the UploadWizard, instead use the classic text based uploadform (so you can use your pre-filled text template). The UploadWizard is only practicable for casual and singel uploader. Thanks again, regards PS: If you need I can give you some scripts (also upload modifications). First, I recommend you to use this importScript('User:Perhelion/JustReplace+.js'); (insert in your /common.js, for example) -- User: Perhelion 14:23, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Chris, anscheinend ist dein English nicht so gut. Wie du vielleicht mitbekommen hast ist das GlobalReplace-Tool nicht so gründlich wie das von mir vorgeschlagene hauseigene Commons-JS-Tool (das nur am Rande). MfG -- User: Perhelion 22:17, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Good day. I do not know about programming. What is this script? What should I do with him? Why do not I have to use Replace? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris die Seele (talk • contribs) 07:17, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Hey good to hear you, this script does near the same but more and is much easier to handle (it is loaded here and give you prefilled suggestions). On the other and your tool is not that really supported (anymore) and have some bugs.[2] (ok this script maybe too but not that strange, please report any). It also doess not replace all file usage (as you can easy check after replacing).

You don't need programming really, simply copy&paste the text (if something is wrong the CodeEditor should warn you). Try it out, cheers -- User: Perhelion 08:45, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

PS: It's not that bad to use the other tool. Maybe some of this is helpful for you: User:Perhelion/Code -- User: Perhelion 11:05, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Welcome. I occasionally draw a coat of arms. However, about computer science and scripts I do not have the slightest idea. Scripts, stamps, numbers and letters tell me nothing. I would be grateful to you, if you had such a script prepared and wrote where I have to paste it. Thank you and wish you a happy Easter.--Chris die Seele (talk) 06:58, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Lizenzen und Beschreibungen bei Wappen

Hallo Chris, am Beispiel von File:DEU Vestenbergsgreuth COA.svg möchte ich dir ein paar Tips und Hinweise geben. Bitte kombiniere nicht die beiden Vorlagen {{Information}} und {{COAInformation}}. Die sind beide jeweils als eigenständiges Modul gedacht, was alle benötigten Angaben enthält, und lassen sich nicht einwandfrein ineinander verschachteln. AM besten immst du in Zukunft nur noch {{COAInformation}}. Zweitens eine Anmerkung zu den Lizenzen. Sobald du selbst SVG-Konvertierungen vornimmst, oder eigene SVG-Elemente zeichnest, gilt {{PD-Coa-Germany}} nicht mehr, weil du deine eigene Arbeit in Form von SVG-Code in das "Endprodukt" eingebracht hast. D. h., du kannst es auch nicht mit einer Creative-Commons-Lizenz kombinieren, denn ein Werk kann entweder gemeinfrei sein, oder eine CC-Lizenz haben, die einen urheberrechtlichen Schutz voraussetzt. In diesem Fall ist also nur die Creative-Commons-Lizenz möglich. PD-Coa-Germany kommt dann zur Anwendung, wenn man eine Wappengrafik unverändert im Aussehen und Dateiformat von irgendwo her übernimmt. De728631 (talk) 17:18, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey De728631,

1. Siehe eins drüber. Könntest du das ja auch an die Entwickler des UploadWizard weitergeben. :-P
2. @Lizenz: liegst du leider völlig falsch. Logischer Weise hat auch ein Derivat die PD-Coa-Germany und kann meines Wissens auch mit CC kombiniert werden. Wo hast du denn deine Erkenntnis her?
3. Vermutlich versteht Chris nur sehr bedingt Deutsch!? -- User: Perhelion 20:30, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Perhelion:

1. Yes, I noticed that afterwards. I can't tell what exactly went wrong while using the Upload-Wizard, but it looks like Chris dumped the complete template COAInformation including its parameters into the description text box. I guess the Upload-Wizard was specifically made for people who don't know about Wiki syntax and would use plain text by default, so I can understand why there is no specific disclaimer like "do not paste entire Commons information templates here".
2. The original is of course PD-Germany-Coa, but in heraldry it is common practice that the individual depiction of a coat of arms is copyrighted while only the blazon is PD. So even of the image is PD as in this case, when you add your own creative work to a free original image instead of just copying it faithfully, the result will not be PD any more. That said, the SVG code behind the graphical output may be an indirect original work as long as it is not created automatically by Inkscape or similar software. Unfortunately there is no such hint in the German version of Help:SVG but the Englich original has a paragraph on "copyright". And as mentioned above, PD and CC won't work as one combined licence because to grant a CC licence you need to hold the copyright for the work in the first place. So either the whole thing is out of copyright or it is copyrighted with a CC licence.
3. The user name suggests otherwise but you may be up to something there. De728631 (talk) 14:31, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

1. So I strongly advise Chris do not use the UploadWizard anymore for his CoA.
2. @De728631: In Germany the depiction is PD also if it is a derivative. So you can not get copyright of a "ministerial" depiction (s de:Amtliches Wappen Urteil 1933) de:Namensrecht/de:Nutzungsrecht. If the "own creativity" is so much that is is "modicum of originality"/"threshold of originality" then it is not original/ministerial anymore. As we can see here on Commons that is common on German SVG CoA. That is also very logical because CoA have usually no author Attribution. Who will say on every CoA it is original or it is derivative? Who will say it is own creativity of whom? In Germany you need much more for this, for example also sports logos like CoAs (without original) are PD because of "lack of originality".

-- User: Perhelion 14:37, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

@Perhelion: You're right, if the original work in Germany is not protected, then there is no protection for a derivative either. But when it comes to SVG we have to distinguish between the artwork itself and the computer code because SVG is a script programming language that can achieve the same result with different ways of original programming. The creative part is turning the depiction on the source page into SVG code. Hence the SVG code is copyrightable and while the artwork itself is still PD, the image file as such becomes copyrightable. And as to coats of arms, if the depiction contains charges or anything else that is beyond a simple geometrical partition of the shield, then the depiction is automatically copyrighted too if it is recent enough. The exception in Germany is that municipal, state and federal arms can be seen as "official works (amtliche Werke)" which are exempt from copyright. That is why {{PD-Germany-Coa}} exists in the first place. Family arms for example would not be PD by default.

But as to not spam Chris's page with these details that are beginning to become off-topic I suggest that we continue this part of the discussion elsewhere. De728631 (talk) 14:59, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

I agree, it seems many space for clarification here (there are indeed not many sources for my claim too). -- User: Perhelion 17:06, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

COAinformation

Hey Chris die Seele,

can you please say which editor and/or how your create your graphics? Because I would add a shortcut for your name (imgen, and create a user Cat for you), because you use a shortcut from another user, which give false credit to this user as creator.[3] Maybe also for personal interest, do you use a special technique?

And again please do not use the UploadWizard for COAinformation, as we can see in addition to the template garbage, there are also the categories omitted from the original files. Greetings -- User: Perhelion 14:47, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Welcome. I use Inkscape. All the coats were made by myself. Regards. --Chris die Seele (talk) 08:07, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello Chris die Seele, here is your Cat Category:Valid SVG created with Inkscape:CoA by Chris die Seele I only sorted yet only some of your files. What strikes me is your very different usage of tinctures. For German CoA I suggest de:WP:WikiProjekt Wappen/Neuzeichnen#Tinkturen (Farben) (my personal favor is "Websichere Farben" or FIAV). Regards -- User: Perhelion 20:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey Chris, you drawings are pretty nice, but in contrast your Wiki syntax is not. I hope you check it next time before you use it (faulty) a dozen times again. :P (PS: I do install above the mentioned script for you) Greetings -- User: Perhelion 13:14, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

File:DEU Landkreis Straubing-Bogen COA.svg

Hallo Chris, das ist wohl eines deiner Anfängerarbeiten, obwohl es noch recht gut aussieht, kannst du bitte dieses Wappen verbessern?

• Der Strahlenkranz sollte wohl hinter der Madonna enden.
• Die Kornähren sehen absolut grob aus (kannst du auch klonen).
• Der Schild sollte diesem hier entsprechen: File:Wappen Traitsching.svg
• Die bayerischen Rauten sollten eine sichtbare (schmale) Kontur haben.

Leider ist es so, dass Abbildungen von Gemeinden selbst (abgeändert) nicht immer den (ursprünglichen) heraldisch Gepflogenheiten entsprechen, daher hat (entgegen dem normalen Vorgehen) die ältere Abbildung für uns eine höhere Gewichtung: File:Wappen Landkreis Straubing-Bogen.png Danke für deine Ausführungen. PS: Um das GlobalReplace-Tool zu benutzen, sollte die Ersetzung unumstritten sein. Daher ist hier mehr Mühe und Achtsamkeit geboten. MfG -- User: Perhelion 13:24, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Barnstar award

		The Heraldic Barnstar
		I hereby award you the Heraldic Barnstar for the excellence of your graphics. Although you seem a heraldically beginner, the expectation of more graphics is even higher. -- User: Perhelion 22:13, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks

I noticed your edits to my Pearls, and I want to thank you for your excellent work on German coats of arms. Hope you stick around - God only knows how many CoAs that need high quality replacements. –Vami IV (talk) 07:33, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

File descriptions (2)

Hello Chris, I saw your nice ongoing diligent work on SVG. So I would ask you for a resume of how the tools work I installed for you. I see you don't use the VVA+ link (on the top if on view, or as buttons in the Wikieditor)? Indeed your could change the summary (so it would be not recognizable for me). I would suggest a few more, which could maybe helpful for you too:

1. MediaWiki:Gadget-InformationToCOA.js - converts or add COAInformation (on the left side)
2. Maybe https://tools.wmflabs.org/derivative/deri1.php

You can always ask and suggest. Best regards -- User: Perhelion 07:51, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Vektorisierte Wappen erzeugen Wartungseinträge

Hallo Chris,
ist Dir eigentlich geläufig, dass die von Dir (in den letzten Tagen) vektorisierten und nach Commons hochgeladenen Dateien zu Wappen Wartungseinträge generieren? Beispiel: file:DEU Hochscheid COA.svg mit Wartungseintrag unter c:Category:Language templates with no text displayed
Darüber hinaus sind die neu hochgeladenen Wappen-Dateien auch nicht Kategorien einsortiert.
Wäre es nicht möglich, dass Du diese Probleme gleich beim / nach dem Hochladen behebst ?
Herzliche Grüße, --Archie02 (talk) 10:17, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Hallo Chris, dem muss ich mich leider anschließen. Man kann wirklich froh sein, dass du dich überhaupt ab und zu auf deiner Diskussionsseite bemerkbar machst (denn ansonsten hat man den Eindruck, dass du mehr oder weniger soziale Interaktionen tunlichst vermeidest). Dies steht irgendwie im totalen Gegensatz zu deiner schöpferischen Leistung hier, vlt. fehlt es auch einfach nur an einem grundlegendem Punkt an Kenntnis.
Hier meine Vorschläge (da du offensichtlich eine Vorlage verwendest):

• Wenn keine Blasonierung/Beschreibung vorhanden, dann kannst du einfach mittels des <!-- das Sprach-Tag auskommentieren (wie hier)
• Artist/Künstler: Hier würde ich einfach das sehr passende Template:AutVec benutzen (wie hier). Zudem dein Benutzername fälschlich auf den Commons-Gallery-Namensraum verweist, s. Help:Namespaces
• Wenn du diesen Vorschlägen zustimmst, würde ich einen Batch task (für deine Uploads) für dich ausführen (falls du es nicht selber ausführen möchtest).

Nochmal vielen Dank für deine tolle Arbeit hier! LG -- User: Perhelion 10:26, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

• Hallo Ihr Zwei.
• Ja, an Diskussionen nehme ich ungerne Teil. Ich sitze lieber in meiner Ecke und zeichne. Aber: der Eine schreibt gerne, der Andere malt und der Dritte kontrolliert gerne andere Menschen.
• Das mit der Blasonierung geht OK.
• Ich verstehe KEIN Wort englisch.
• Benutzername - gerne.

schöne Grüße --Chris die Seele (talk) 06:44, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey Chris,

schön von dir zu hören, das ist natürlich schade, dass du kein Wort English kannst. Mir ist gerade aufgefallen dass du tatsächlich den Button eingefügt hast. Der sollte nur andeuteten, dass du diesen (s.u. in den Edittools, dort allerdings noch nicht vorhanden) mittels Klick den Code fürs Code Auskommentieren einfügen kannst (daher kann man diesen hier nicht ohne nowiki sichtbar machen). Der Code ist doch im oben genannten Bsp sichtbar (wenn du dort auf die Seite gehst und auf Bearbeiten klickst). Hast du dein Interface auch auf English? PS: Template:AutVec hast du auch noch nicht (wenn du willst kann ich dir einen Button dafür installieren). LG -- User: Perhelion 11:26, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Hallo

Erkläre mir bitte, was sich unter dem Begriff INTERFACE versteckt. Ich benutze täglich den Computer, habe aber keine Ahnung, wie das alles funktioniert.

Soll ich also diesen (<!--) einfügen, oder nicht?

Gruß --Chris die Seele (talk) 07:24, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Hallo zusammen. Das Interface ist die sog. Benutzeroberfläche von Commons, also das was du auf Commons siehst, wenn du das hier liest, oder wenn du Dateien einfügst und Seiten bearbeitest. Da gibt es am linken Rand eine Spalte mit Links zu nützlichen Werkzeugen auf Commons, und oben drüber sind ein paar "Karteikarten" für die aktuelle Seite, die man betrachtet. Perhelion möchte nun wissen, ob du diese Links und Karteireiter auf Deutsch siehst, oder ob die Commons-Seite bei dir eventuell auf Englisch angezeigt wird.

Was diesen Button angeht, das geht folgendermaßen: Wenn du nicht möchtest, dass ein Teil des Textbausteins COAInformation (oder irgendein anderer Wikitext) nach dem Bearbeiten angezeigt wird, aber diesen Text auch nicht komplett entfernen möchtest, dann markierst du den Text mit der Maus und klickst dann auf den Schalter <!-- unterhalb des Textfensters. Beispiel: In |blazon = {{de|}} soll das {{de|}} beim Betrachten nicht gezeigt werden, sondern nur für zukünftige Bearbeitungen quasi "im Hintergrund" vorhanden sein. Es wird dann mit der Maus markiert (also vor dem Text klicken, Maustaste halten und dann ziehen {{de|}}). Das Klicken auf <!-- sorgt dann dafür, dass um diesen markierten Textteil zwei Pfeile "herumgewickelt" werden: <!-- {{de|}} -->. Diese Pfeile teilen der Wiki-Software mit, dass der Inhalt zwischen den Pfeilen nicht angezeigt werden soll, sondern nur noch als "Kommentar" für die Bearbeitungen stehen bleibt. Alternativ kannst du diese Pfeile mit dem Ausrufezeichen auch einfach händisch eintragen. De728631 (talk) 10:16, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Danke für die Erklärungen. Die Benutzerfläche ist bei mir ganz normal deutsch. Gruß.--Chris die Seele (talk) 13:06, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

File:DEU Heidenburg COA.svg

Hallo Chris, ich bin recht beeindruckt von deinem anwachsendem Leistungspensum. An das Wappen wollte ich mich auch schon setzen, danke dafür. Allerdings hatte ich hier auch schon einen Fehler des Wappens in der PNG markiert. Laut Blasonierung ist der Pflug golden und die Pflugschar silbern. Aus Erfahrung kann ich sagen, dass die Blasonierung in den meisten Fällen recht behält (und prinzipiell auch den Vorrang gegen visuelle Darstellungen haben sollte). PS: Bei File:DEU_Verbandsgemeinde_Traben-Trarbach_COA.svg fehlt oben mittig in der Spaltspitze ein Stück Kontur.
