Thanks for uploading File:Rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica crop from 1929 Title and Trust map.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (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. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.

WhisperToMe (talk) 21:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I've started adding the photos to respective school district and/or LA neighborhood articles! As for going towards the south and the center, I listed Manhattan Beach and some Redondo Beach schools. Would the Palos Verdes Peninsula be too far? WhisperToMe (talk) 04:47, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

WhisperToMe yes. LOL. Let me do a few loops of underphotographed public institutions in WLA first and then I'll see what would be other good territory. Jengod (talk) 05:13, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Roger that! WhisperToMe (talk) 05:21, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

I have a question: Do you need more time to do some of these requests, or is it OK if I add a few more entries? WhisperToMe (talk) 04:32, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Add away @WhisperToMe! It's really just what I can kinda get to while I'm already somewhere. I very rarely have the bandwidth for a special outing but sometimes in the mood for a drive to wherever. Jengod (talk) 05:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

It's all good! I added a few places in Lomita (including a Japanese school) and may add more in other places soon WhisperToMe (talk) 05:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Backyard Wildlife Habitat

I just cleaned up the sources on w:Backyard Wildlife Habitat and noticed your image. It looks fine on desktop, but on mobile it appears too small due to the overall size. I'm wondering if it would render better if you chopped it in half and displayed it as two separate images. Viriditas (talk) 09:56, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up Viriditas - I'll fuss with it later and see about chopping it down (or just manipulate it as you see fit. I don't mind!) Jengod (talk) 16:58, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I just took a second look on mobile. It’s probably fine, so I wouldn’t want you to do anything that would steal too much of your time. I think my initial complaint was that it seemed more fuzzy and out of focus on mobile than on desktop. Also, there’s no way to identify the species in the image. Maybe I’m just being too critical, so perhaps it is best to ignore me. Thanks for the image. Viriditas (talk) 19:21, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Oh, I’m a bit slow. I only just realized that your image is 928 KB, which probably explains the problem. Any chance you can upload a larger, more hi-res version? Viriditas (talk) 08:07, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm just going to remove it from the page! I was just trying to broadly demonstrate that it's possible to cultivate a lot of diversity in a small space but there's probably a better way to do that! Cheers. Jengod (talk) 07:24, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't know, I kind of like that image. Maybe you can still keep it in there? I apologize if you thought I was saying I didn't like it, because I really do. I vote to keep it still. Viriditas (talk) 07:59, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Sources

Hi. Thanks for your uploads.

Could you please provide more specific sources on where you're getting your images? Sources like "JSTOR", "archive.org" and "newspaper" are not specific enough for anyone to trace backwards. I would kindly request that you look into fixing the images you've uploaded.

Also, FYI, Commons doesn't accept cc-by-nc-sa images, which is how this photo is marked.

Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 15:33, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Of course! @Magog the Ogre It's funny they changed the upload layout (on mobile at least which is the only thing I can use) and made it really small so I presumed they wanted less information. Sometimes I felt like I was just repetitively stating the same thing too much and pointlessly. But I will go back to oversharing! Sorry about Jabez B. Blanding. I was so excited someone tagged it CC-by but I guess it was the wrong kind. Jengod (talk) 16:14, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

No problem. If you can prove the image is sufficiently old, it might fall under COM:ART. But I couldn't find anything about the original author or publication. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 18:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

@Magog the Ogre It's the first and only time I've seen a CC license on a findagrave photo! I might email the museum and see if they'd consider uploading a photo. Also while looking for the URL for one map I found another May 1862 civil war map in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Im not fast enough on ACW stuff to know what it's about (Virginia area naval battles?) so it's just under Category:Maps of the American Civil War for now. Jengod (talk) 18:14, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Abzeronow (talk) 17:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Geothermal maps

Hi Jen, I've added the category "Geothermal maps" to all the maps you uploaded. They will be easy to find that way (altho I also downloaded them all to my laptop to have portability. Wowzers! you are cool. This really made my day. Netherzone (talk) 21:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Groovy! I dug up the first one looking for any kind of detail on en:Alvarado Hot Springs (LOL) and then I was like hey I wonder if there are more. The missing South Dakota will haunt me forever. (I kid.) Have fun. best Jengod (talk) 21:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Ship Cafe

Hi Jengod, Do we know dates for Baron Long's and others ownership?

See https://digitalcollections.sdsu.edu/do/dad4849d-fba8-4825-bbb5-9085bb085e8d#page/1

There are sub pages too. -Broichmore (talk) 21:27, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Hold please. :) I have to do a round of school pickup and dinner but then I'll see if I can figure out the various managerial eras. TYSM for the source. Jengod (talk) 21:43, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

@Broichmore I think roughly 1917 to 1918. See the article. He was probably a mildly notable nightclub promoter/restauranteur in his own right although I haven't done a deep deep dive but I optimistically redlinked him. Jengod (talk) 03:28, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Cabrillo, the Ship Cafe, was modeled on a Spanish galleon, replicating the San Salvador in 1905. The building was designed by architects Norman Marsh and Clarence Russell It was first run by Carlo Marchetti. Baron Long bought it in 1917, in partnership with Julius Rosenfield. The Ship Cafe was destroyed in a fire in December 1920. It was rebuilt, this time with two masts instead of three, and lying parallel to the shore instead of pointing out to sea. Baron Long abandoned his interests in the place after the fire. See reference.

What about Ward McFadden? Broichmore (talk) 09:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Covington seems to start from 1921.Los Angeles Herald, Volume XLVI, Number 54, 3 January 1921 Edition 02, page 15, column 3. Broichmore (talk) 14:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

User:Broichmore Nice! I won't have much time to edit today so feel free to get in there and edit anything you like, otherwise I'll pick up later. Best, ~j Jengod (talk) 14:48, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
