Help!

[edit]

I'm having a problem with uploads. My latest picture disappeared. --Matthisvalerie (talk) 17:01, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MartinPoulter, it seems that your latest changes or uploads of the file(s) Bodleian Libraries broke a template. This assumption has been made because the file(s) appeared in the maintenance Category:Pages using Artwork template with incorrect parameter. To fix this issue please check this category for further information. If the file(s) is/are not contained in the maintenance category anymore someone else already did the work and you can ignore this message. Thank you for your cooperation. --ArndBot (talk) 09:02, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bodlean libraries

[edit]

Please stop inputting totally randoms and unrelated categories to that series of files.

Pierre cb (talk) 03:44, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, @Pierre cb: I am gradually fixing the categories using Cat-a-lot. The categories are not unrelated, but are the subject tags supplied by professional cataloguers. I recognise that mismatch with existing Commons categories is a problem, and I will work to correct it. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 13:49, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not PD-100, if its from 1940/41. What's the original documentation for this one say? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 21:37, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@ShakespeareFan00: Thanks a lot for noticing. This was from a bulk upload of files almost all of which are old, but there are a few exceptions. I've changed it to CC-BY. MartinPoulter (talk) 11:44, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Most likley PD-UKGov if it's former defence plans to be honest. You'd be in the best position to check the 'index entry' for this in the Bodleian catalouge.
Please also see the note I left you at Wikisource. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 12:29, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ! Would it be possible to fuse this category with Category:French invasion of Russia ? Léna (talk) 16:16, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your VFC installation method is deprecated

[edit]

Hello MartinPoulter, we are aware that using the old installation method of VFC (via common.js, which you are using) may not work reliably anymore and can break other scripts as well. A detailed explanation can be found here. Important: To prevent problems please remove the old VFC installation code from your common.js and instead enable the VFC gadget in your preferences. Thanks! --VFC devs (q) 16:23, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Davis (1797) Map of the County of Oxford

[edit]

Hi Martin! I had fun putting Category:Davis (1797) Map of the County of Oxford back together -- like a jigsaw puzzle, with all the bits having to be turned round the right way then put in the right order -- but it seems that the puzzle has one bit missing (the bottom left corner of the map, being the left hand half of the inset map of Oxford).

Is it possible that this got uploaded somewhere, but didn't make it into Category:Old maps of Oxfordshire or Category:Old maps of Oxford ?

It would be nice to have the complete set! Jheald (talk) 18:35, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jheald: Very well spotted! I must have made an error when uploading- apologies for that. The missing file is now at File:Bodleian Libraries, A map of the County of Oxford 10.jpg Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 21:43, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that!
There were also another couple of maps of Oxford, where we seemed to have one half but not the other
File:Bodleian_Libraries,_Plan_of_the_University_and_City_of_Oxford_Image_2.jpg (Taylor/Anderton/Jackson, 1751) -- though "Image_1" exists, which is both pages together; and
File:Bodleian Libraries, Plan of the City of Oxford western half.jpg (Faden, 1789)
Are there corresponding images for these as well? But I suppose it depends what the slides were originally taken for.
Thanks very much for your work with these uploads from the Bod -- some very nice images you've uploaded. Jheald (talk) 21:56, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Those missing halves are missing in the Bodleian's digital database: what's uploaded is all that's there of those items. It's worth asking though, because my bulk upload script sometimes missed out images when there were multiple images for an item, and I uploaded some missing images but there can still be gaps. Glad you find the upload useful. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 12:59, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Expiry of GWToolset user group memberships

[edit]

There is a proposal on the Bureaucrat's noticeboard to automatically expire GWT memberships after one year unless the user requests an extension. Please add your views and suggestions to the discussion. The reasonably informal process for getting access to GWT access will remain as is.

Category:Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (1573) - Bodleian Maps Collection

[edit]

Something seems to have gone a bit wrong with the upload at Category:Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (1573) - Bodleian Maps Collection -- there only seems to be half of each map; instead of the other half, a text page seems to have been uploaded. Is it possible to fix this still ? Jheald (talk) 21:15, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hhi @Jheald: , I think the matching halves are all there, but due to the odd system of folio numbering, and ordering here on Commons, the corresponding halves appear in very different places in the list. For example the matching half of File:Bodleian Libraries, Theatrum oder Schawplatz des erdbodems Theatrum orbis terrarum 9v.jpg is File:Bodleian Libraries, Theatrum oder Schawplatz des erdbodems Theatrum orbis terrarum -9a-r.jpg. The matching half of File:Bodleian Libraries, Theatrum oder Schawplatz des erdbodems Theatrum orbis terrarum 11v.jpg is File:Bodleian Libraries, Theatrum oder Schawplatz des erdbodems Theatrum orbis terrarum -11a-r.jpg. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 15:31, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that makes sense now. I think I was thrown by the category going on into a second page, as well as the numbering/ordering issue. I've started adding some keys to force the order. Jheald (talk) 16:43, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jheald: oh that's brilliant- hadn't occurred to me that was possible. A huge improvement! MartinPoulter (talk) 19:04, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Khalili uploads

[edit]

Martin, Great to see these uploads starting! But unfortunately most of our mass upload initiatives fail to achieve anything like their potential because of mistakes made at the start - the catastophic Metropolitan effort is the worst, but there are many others. Readers are presented with categories of up to 50,000, which are completely unbrowseable. I don't know how you are proceeding (and I'm not strong on the technical upload side) but these are key points:

  • 1) All files must have a completely consistent term, which you seem to be doing, with "Khalili Foundation" (and other alternatives). For future searchability, it is essential that this is included in all files.
  • 2) Get the initial uploads into dedicated Khalili sub-cats of a manageable size at the initial upload. Please DON'T upload anything to Category:Islamic art EVER, or to similar top-level cats. In the Khalili case, there are already named collections, so set up cats for each these, which go into the main Khalili cat and Category:Islamic art collections and so on. For major groups like "Islamic manuscripts in the Khalili Collections" set up sub-cats.
  • 3) Include as much metadata as possible - the most basic key points are: type of object, date, country/area of origin, technique, materials, work for manuscripts, style if given. The MET is at least very strong here, as are LACMA & Cooper-Hewitt, however bad they are in other respects. Include the object accession/catalogue number, and a link to the object online, if it has a page. A link to the main collections site is pretty useless.
  • 4) Are these the best file sizes they will give you? They are hugely below what recent big museum releases are at - eg MET, LACMA, Cooper-Hewitt - and will greatly restrict usage. There's no useful enlargement.
  • 5)Adding precise other categories is certainly a complete pain, especially given the chaotic Commons category trees, but it is important to make at least some effort. Whatever the collection chooses to call it, the "Chariot of Maharaja of Bhavnagar" is obviously not a "chariot" in normal English usage, and does not belong in Category:Chariots, but in some sub-cat of Category:Four-wheeled close carriages and other carriage cats - if one knew when and where it was made, more cats would be possible.

Doing uploads properly is a lot of work, but completely necessary. It's best to ask an expert to help - Fae is probably the best - he did LACMA, Wellcome & others. Sorry to seem negative, it's great to see these. Johnbod (talk) 16:14, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod: Thanks for the advice. I've done plenty of image uploads before and am aware of all these issues. What's happened so far isn't the main image upload- just a transfer of some images to illustrate one article. The process we are going through is getting a CSV of metadata and using that to create Wikidata records with complete metadata, which is included in Commons via the relevant templates. It's not much worth "making an effort" on the manual transfer and categorisation of a few files when a properly-done transfer of metadata and files in in progress. Agreed that there need to be dedicated categories for the Khalili sub-collections, but it's not worth doing this until the bulk upload is about to happen. MartinPoulter (talk) 12:09, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks. Categorization is undoubtedly a pain, however organized the process. I wish I could point to a large upload process where this has been well and consistently done, but I don't think I can. Will the final file sizes be larger? Johnbod (talk) 15:38, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

[edit]

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].

Thank you!

Scanned public domain works on Internet Archive...

[edit]

In light of a news item , you may have heard about from other sources:- https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/06/publishers-sue-internet-archive-over-massive-digital-lending-program/

Whilst it is very very unlikely Internet Archive would just disappear, it would be reasonable to have some kind of 'backup' plan.

With that in mind, could you perhaps suggest to the relevant people that digitised/scanned public domain works get uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in parallel with IA upload? (Even better would be for Wikimedia Commons to get a mass-upload of appropriately licensed works based on what had already been scanned either by IA or others, so that there's appropriately licensed copies in at least three places.)

I will also in passing note that the National Library of Scotland's efforts to put one of their collections on Wikimedia Commons, is proving rather successful. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:19, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bodleian Libraries

[edit]

I see that you uploaded Bodleian Libaries photos with reduced resolution (1 000 px). Is there an agreement that this is generally allowed or was that just during your time at the library?

--Anneyh (talk) 20:44, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Anneyh: there was a rights committee which empowered me, as Wikimedian In Residence, to upload images so long as they fit that reduced resolution. Some of the staff who were crucial in that decision are no longer in their roles, but I think the committee still exists. I would assume they are still in principle okay with that policy, but they'd need to be asked. If there's some content you want to see released, I could make some inquiries with my former colleagues. MartinPoulter (talk) 11:14, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the answer. I came out of a discussion in the French-speaking Biology project, but the manuscript was actually already uploaded in the Biodiversity Heritage Library by the Lloyd, so no need for now. I'll reach out with detail if there is another case. Thanks for the great pictures you upload. --Anneyh (talk) 12:39, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: The request is still going through different relevant people. Thanks for sitting tight- I hope to have updates for you soon, and thanks as always for the interesting stuff you are doing with the Khalili images. MartinPoulter (talk) 20:24, 21 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: Now uploaded! I'll crop out the central portrait and give its own file. Cheers, MartinPoulter (talk) 11:32, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, Martin! Are you sure it represents Saib Tabrizi[2] though? - LouisAragon (talk) 17:56, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@LouisAragon: I'm not 100% sure. Individuals have so many names and transliteration into English varies. But in w:en:Saib Tabrizi I see "Mīrzā Muḥammad" and "Tabrizi", but not "Taqi", so both people are a Mīrzā Muḥammad from Tabriz, and the portrait is from 1685, not long after when Saib Tabrizi died so could plausibly be a representation of him. So I count that as more likely than not but I could be wrong. I could check the Khalili Collections curator? MartinPoulter (talk) 18:16, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hey,
Yeah I stumbled across the same hurdle.
  • "I could check the Khalili Collections curator?"
I think that would be a good call, just to be sure. If it ain't too much of a hassle for you of course.
- LouisAragon (talk) 18:33, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@LouisAragon: The curator says I was premature in assuming they were the same person, so it's a good job you prompted me to ask. Hopefully I'll hear more about the identity of the man in the portrait. MartinPoulter (talk) 12:06, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Martin. Could you also upload the 4 images listed in this link?[3] - LouisAragon (talk) 00:16, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your image is from some Asian horroscope. Hope this is helpful. 2600:8800:1E96:E900:CCD:D754:ABAD:6ABF 09:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've no memory of that image or of why I thought that caption matched that image. I've removed the whole image. MartinPoulter (talk) 09:57, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
