I don't go to the airport that often, cause it's too far from the place I live. But whenever I get the chance to get a clear picture of the sign, I'll remember to change it!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

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:
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.
As the main creator of this nest of categories please allow me to explain the reason for this. (If you can't be bothered to read the long version, the short version is that it is done this way to both respect reality as it is whilst attempting not to upset the political sensitivities of all sides.)
The long version:- The Republic of China existed as the main recognised political entity in China from about 1912 to about 1948 so any files related to the Chinese military of that time can be legitimately and almost uncontroversially be included in categories titled the Republic of China. After 1948 according to the PRC the RoC ceased to exist and today there is no political entity called the Republic of China whatever the authorities on Taiwan may chose to call themselves. Of course the reality is a little different with many nations continuing to recognise those on Taiwan as the legal government of China until the mid to late 1970s. After this point most nations recognised the PRC as the government of China. Today very few countries,not even its closest ally the USA, recognise the RoC as a sovereign state. The PRC has alsoworked hard to pressurise international organisations not to recognise or use the words Republic of China, in order not to offend PRC sensibilities it is now usual to refer to Taiwan rather then the RoC, for example there is no Republic of China at the Olympics but there is/was an entity called Chinese Taipei.
There are four ways to categorise files with regards the military of the RoC/Taiwan, which reflect the different positions taken.
i)There is one China called the PRC, the RoC no longer exists and the forces there are the remenants of a warlord faction which will be integrated the PLA as soon as the malcontents there see sense.
ii)There is one China called the RoC, those calling themselves the PRC are rebels who will be crushed when the beloved homeland is liberated.
iii)There is a nation called Taiwan which exists, its culture, people and language are distinct and independent of that of the mainland. In 1948 its people were brutally invaded by forces fleeing China, who in the intervening years used military force to supress the local people and culture. The nation of Taiwan will throw of the shackles of these invaders and their desire for a single China and will one day chart its own way in the world.
iv)The status quo is a mess of names, interests and sensibilities and is far from perfect, however its the one people have gotten to know and accept so lets turn a blind eye to its inconsistencies and try not upset the apple cart.
The existing cats are organised in such a way as to reflect the fact that an entity called the Republic of China existed between 1911 and 1948. That an entity exists in Taiwan with many of the trappings of a nation state including a military, however these categories are nested in such a way so as to reflect the fact of a single China whilst at the same time trying to maintain the differences between the two.
In my opinion any attempt that implys the continued existence of the RoC after 1948 is likely to inflame those who lean towards the PRC. Any attempt to deny the existence of a polity in Taiwan that sees itself as the legitmate government of China will inflame the majority of those in Taiwan. Any attempt that there are two soverign nations one called China and one called Taiwan will inflame both a majority in Taiwan and China.
Like the world we live in the status quo with regards these categories here on Commons has natural inconsistencies, and cannot satisfy the opinions and hopes of everybody. However thus far the status quo seems to have worked so lets not upset the apple cart.KTo288 (talk) 17:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your answer and the link to Wikipedia Naming conventions (Chinese)-Republic of China, Taiwan, and variations thereof. Although I was previously unaware of it, I find it wise, succint and an accurate summary of the situation as I understand it. Actually I'm surprised that you haven't included the link on the discussion pages of those categories you are seeking to move as it seems a pretty persuasive arguement, if I ever need to edit an article on Taiwan at Wikipedia I now know where to look for guidance.
This is not Wikipedia, and sage as that guidance is, these are not articles that we are talking about, even so I do not hesitate in endorsing most of its advice (the one area I would dispute would be:- "Text should treat the Republic of China as a sovereign state with equal status with the People's Republic of China.'" which is itself disputed at the page itself.
Where we differ then is in how we would implement these guidelines. With an article what is used is language and constructions of words to create pictures and to express ideas. Commons does not deal with words, but with pictures and those pictures can create ideas and narratives in the mind of the observer. On commons pages, words in the form of introductions and captions can maybe help steer the direction of the narrative. However with categories unless you work very hard the order in which images are presented cannot be controlled and you have no control over the narrative. What control we do have over what and how an observer sees an image comes from categorisation.
I will use Category:Air force of Taiwan to illustrate this,as this was the category that first alerted me to your concerns. If we were to have one and only one category for this topic, then I think I would have to agree with you and move its contents to a category called Category:Air Force of the Republic of China. However that would be tantamount to saying you can only write an article using one sentence or one paragraph.
In articles, we use sentences to express a single idea, and paragraphs to link these ideas to create a theme. When done well these disparate paragraphs join to create a narrative. On Commons we don't have sentences and paragraphs but we do have categories and the taxonomic tree.
Within the tree indvidual files belong to or should belong to at least one category. However just as an article is not a jumble of haphazard unrelated sentences, Commons is not a mess of individual unrelated categories. Categories themselves can belong to categories which in turn belong to other categories. Any file that belongs to a category belongs to every category that that category belongs to and so on. So since the category Air force of Taiwan is a sub category of Air Force of the Republic of China every file presently in Air force of Taiwan also belongs to the category Air Force of the Republic of China, which in turn is a sub category of Category:Air force of China.
The wikipedia page offers the construction "Republic of China (Taiwan)" as a way to disambiguate between the pre 1949 entity and the current entity calling itself the "Republic of China", and this is exactly what is being done in the way the current categories are organised.
Hi. The Portuguese for "The image gallery documents the search for the aircraft?" is "Esta galeria de imagens mostra a busca pelos destroços do avião" or "Esta galeria de imagens mostra a busca pelo avião". What is aircraft? Is the airplane? Or is the airplane after an accident?--Eduardoferreira (talk) 13:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think there are many spokesperson for Naval and Aeronautical Social Communication Center. I think one possibility is to use Vice-Chief for Social Communication Center. Give me an example for use to Deputy head for me to see if it is appropriate. Specifically in case of Jorge Amaral, he is a colonel, so you can call him as Colonel Jorge Amaral, vice-chief for Social Communication Center of Brazilian Air Force.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 00:26, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The portuguese for this "These photographs document the search for possible survivors, as well as for mortal remains, debris and the flight recorders from the crashed plane." can be: Estas fotografias mostram as buscas por possíveis sobreviventes, assim como restos mortais, destroços e a caixa-preta do avião que caiu. So, you can use "Vice-chief" or "Deputy Head". I don´t know which one is more usual. It may depends on the context.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 01:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I have a question for you. Look these images: Tab "Fotos", uploaded today, june 6. It has been published by Força Aerea Brasileira, not from "Agencia Brasil". When the picture from FAB is published by Agencia Brasil, we can upload here in commons because the terms of license in Agencia Brasil is Creative Commons. But in the FAB site, the terms of license is All rights reserved. I think we will have to wait for Agencia Brasil to publish some picture from the searches in june 6, to upload here in commons. But, a doubt remains: Like this one published by FAB in June 3 and Busca voo Air France 447 3.jpg. The same picture in Agencia Brasil done by FAB, and the Agencia Brasil is the publisher. We can not upload here in commons presuming that FAB would give permission like to Agencia Brasil? --Eduardoferreira (talk) 02:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. It seems to be "Esta foto mostra a remoção pela Marinha Brasileira da empenagem que estava no mar pertencente ao AirFrance AirBus A330".--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It would be better like this: "Esta foto mostra a remoção pela Marinha Brasileira do estabilizador vertical que estava no mar pertencente ao AirFrance AirBus A330". This one is better.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your request. I got the email from Mr. Zamprogno. Someone puts the future image of Cindacta 3. Signed by Ícaro Messias 10 June 2009 - 02:24.
Yes... Can be taking stock. But take stock will not seem that is a stock of goods? Balanço in this case have more to be with a resume, a resumé, a trial to condensate the most important facts on the rescue in those ten days. Brigadier Ramon Borges Cardoso making a presentation regarding the ten days of rescue activities of the bodies from the victims of the Air France Flight 447, executed by BAF aircrafts, France and United States. At his side, comandant of the 3rd Naval District, vice-almirant Edison Lawrence Dantas. <-- Maybe like this, something like this.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 13:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In the Lone Star College-North Harris article, could you take a wonderful picture of LSC-Greenspoint Center and upload it. The current image on the page is from an fall schedule article, plus the naming on the pic present is not completely 100% correct in the order as seen. Thanks 00:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
It is not necessary to be an administrator: any registered user on French WP is allowed to upload images. However, you may find it difficult if you do not understand French, as the upload procedure is only in French. So, uploading an image to French WP is very similar to Commons; the main difference is about licences: for these images, you need two licences : the first is related to the building : {{Fair use bâtiment récent}}, and the second is the original licence given by the photographer; see for instance [1], one of my pictures, as an example. If you are in trouble with categorization, miss it out. If you need more details, feel free to leave me a message. Thanks, Croquant (talk) 06:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot something important: some architects explicitly prohibit any reproduction of their works, for instance Ieoh Ming Pei for the Louvre Pyramid; such images should not be uploaded to French WP. For Millau viaduct, I am not sure about the architect's position; I try to find it out. Croquant (talk) 06:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It is not possible to take those pictures: in Italy there is no such thing like "freedom of panorama", and that means it is not legally possible to take a picture of buildings whose architect has not been dead for 70 years. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 17:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What you fail to understand is that if I take a picture of a modern building and I publish it (directly or undirectly), even in a country where modern buildings photos are freely publishable, I am committing a crime in Italy. I dont' know where are you from, but if you upload an "illegal" mp3 onto a computer in country X and distribute it there, you are still liable according to the law of the country you live. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 16:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Would the courts really make a big deal about this case?" This is not the point, it would be nonetheless a crime and people willing to help you should be aware of this.
"one could get around it by asking that only non-Italian citizens fulfill the request" they would be liable of the same crime, even if obviously only those living in Italy would be actually persecuted. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 21:52, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If no one translates the descriptions of those Air France 447 images, than we do not consider them necessary. Please do not copy your list again. --h-stt!?08:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
H-stt, I am not spamming the list. The list was very long and it takes a long time for the list to be completed. It's not that nobody wants to do it. On the contrary. Look at what happens to the list as I post it again and again. It gets smaller. And smaller. And smaller. And smaller. As more of the list is done, it gets closer to completion, it is a long work in progress, not a list nobody wants to touch.
I will repost the list until it is totally finished, or unless someone reverts the bot every time it tries to archive the list.
You post a list of tasks repeatedly to motivate others to do something for you. You do it a few times and it looks harmless. But have you thought what happens if others or even everyone does it? And of course you consider it successful, it always is for the first one or the first few. But once this method gets picked up by more people it has the potential to destroy the whole medium. That's the very definition of spam and that's what makes you a spammer. You copied your reply to my message to three separate places (here, my talk page and my talk page on de-WP) - do you even notice what you are doing, spammer! Stop this crap immediately, revert your spam and never do it again. Otherwise I will have to resort to the infallible method of Paul Tomblim: „Hire a hitman to kill the poster, his wife and kids, and fuck his dog and smash his computer into little bits. Anything more is just extremism.“ --h-stt!?12:51, 18 March 2010 (UTC) PS: If I write here, I read here. There is no need to answer anywhere else.[reply]

Hi! Regarding you QI nomination of DouglassESYellowstoneAcademyHoustonTX.JPG pls see below a few hints. The Wikipedia article on Chromatic aberration has a brief explanation on how to avoid or correct it. If you google for it you will find several tutorials (there is a step by step tutorial on youtube as well). Same with Perspective distortion, but this one is much easyer to correct. If you don't have a comprehensive graphic software (i.e.Photoshop or Photo-Paint), there are freewares around which can do the job. You can find some suggestions of freeware for tackling perspective distortion here. Regarding composition: if there are ugly wires in your way you cannot avoid, is still preferable to try get them not overlap the most important features of the subject (i.e. top decoration, clock). It is also unclear why the present framing was chosen, why is not possible to see more of the building? Hope these hints help. I would suggest retaking the picture from a beter angle, so that the wires don't disturb so much and the subject building is better visible. --Elekhh (talk) 03:18, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your kind words. It seemed strange that nobody had photographed it given all the images uploaded at the airport, yet I suppose the building looks to temporary and unlike a corporate head (in true budget airline ethos) office that it doesn't generally inspire photography.

Hey, only checked my Commons talkpage today. Sorry, I don't live in Taiwan and have no plans to go there in the near future. So I can't help you to take the CI headquarters. BTW, I live in Singapore. :) Terence (talk) 16:18, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I can't fulfill your request again. Airline House is within the boundaries of Changi Airport and thus it's a protected area. As for SIA Training Centre, it is guarded and photography is not allowed. Terence (talk) 08:06, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A protected area in Singapore means that you are not allowed to go and take photos along the fence, technically. If caught, you will be asked to delete the photo and can be charged if you are a repeat offender. Airline House is right in the smack of the protected place so I am unable to fulfill your photo request in any circumstances. It's almost impossible to get ramp access or access within the restricted areas of Changi Airport. Singapore is very strict on such matters, any trespassing of a protected place means you can be charged in court. BTW, Airline House is NOT visible from the runway. That building is one of the many facilities SIA has on the grounds of Changi Airport. SIA Training Centre is located outside Changi Airport. Terence (talk) 04:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, that's one of the any buildings on the airport grounds. They are very strict about taking photos of protected places due to the threat of terrorism globally. Security and photography at airports at the fence is stricter than most countries. Terence (talk) 19:02, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's extremely little point in marking up descriptions with language tagging unless there are multiple descriptions in different languages to choose from. Certain automated tools do add such tags (often incorrectly!), but there's no particular reason to emulate them in manual edits... AnonMoos (talk) 10:23, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Do you really think that all five million images, or whatever (with more being added all the time) are going to be given captions in multiple languages in any determinate amount of time??

User:D-Kuru/licence is not the end. I'm planning {{User:D-Kuru/mpt}} for a long time now. "mpt" means "multi purpose template". This template will be usable for everything (considering what I need and use). Multiple languages will one of the things which will be included due to time. However, so far I don't really have time to care about the template. So, yes I want to have my template in multiple langues but it would make no sence when it looks completely different in a half year. So far it is not very useful to translate the template. But when I'm finished I will contact you again.

Thanks for uploading File:Houstonmap.gif. 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 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.

Responded on talk page. As a note to third parties, it is standard in the media of European languages (English, French, Spanish, etc.) to use family name last with modern day Japanese names (even though in the Japanese language family name comes first) - This practice is widely acknowledged in Japan and abroad. From my understanding, most Japanese do not find this offensive (or else they would not tolerate Anglophone media switching around the names) - This is not considered altering of an actual person's name, just a different presentation (Naoto Kan vs. Kan Naoto, with Kan being the family name).
Aphaia has expressed a preference for using family name first in European languages as well as Japanese. I am fine with it on user talk pages, talk pages, user pages, etc. But I have reservations against treating one Japanese person's name differently than other Japanese persons' names on the File/Image and Mainspace areas (Example: Category:Naoto Kan).

Hi. I finish two of the three templates. Also I create a page where you can see them. Feel free to add any policy, template or anything else you think it needs to be translated. Maybe could take some time, but eventually I´ll do it :) Cheers. --Andrea (talk) 21:54, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll be happy to retrieve my claim you are a racist, but only if you show it by your own action. Because of your change, now Commons uploader haven't suggested me my own preferences. I don't like it boy, okay?
Fix my category right now. It's my own choice and preferences. Your preferences don't matter here. You have no right to push your own POV. If you deny, you are a racist pushing Asian people to obey "your stanrdard". --Aphaia (talk) 13:00, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I had great luck with the weather ;-). I decided to go out earlier to the airport to do the photos and pretty much immediately after I left it started to rain. So I gave up to also go to the Finnair head office again for pics without snow. By the time I finally boarded at the other end of the airport the weather was fine again and the streets dry. -- Cecil (talk) 01:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Forgot to mention, it seems as if Finnair is building a new head office. Right next to the old building (if you look at the south-side pic where you can see the beginning of a parking lot) they currently work on a new building (currently it is only a big hole in the ground) and while I couldn't read the text while driving by in the bus the picture shows that the result will be a huge modern-looking (lots of glass) office building. -- Cecil (talk) 15:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had to go to a work facility near Lakeland, so I stopped by and snapped this picture with my cellphone. I also grabbed one going by the highway side of the complex from my car, but as I believe it's illegal to stop and take pictures, I got it while moving and it is into the sun so it's not great. I can drive by again sometime with my real camera if these aren't good enough. Legoloonie (talk)
Not a problem. I know the picture of the headquarters building is awful, and I do work out there by Lakeland once and a while, so I may bring my better camera to try my best. That said, it is a gated campus on several acres of land, and I'm not sure how successful I'll be in approaching the building. Legoloonie (talk)
I see what you mean, next time I will try from the entrance ramp there. Don't know when I'll next be in Polk County though. Legoloonie (talk)
I got another picture, although once I got back to my computer the fenceposts seemed really annoying. I 'photoshopped' them out, but I'm not sure if that is a faux pas here on the Commons (and my Gimp skills aren't very finely tuned). Feel free to revert the file to the version with the fenceposts if that is preferable. Legoloonie (talk)
as per your request at the Illustration Workshop. Is this what you wanted?

Some pics I shot at Landvetter airport today. The building you requested is hopefully on it. There weren't that many. But as usually when I'm running around on airports with the camera it seems to rain. If you have time please also adapt the descriptions. Don't have much time.

Oh, and thanks to the wonderful weather in Helsinki I've made some new pictures of the head office of Finnair and of the new head office building in progress. As wifi is free at the Helsinki airport I managed to upload them with 10 minutes to spare until boarding to Iceland. You'll find them in the Category:Finnair head office. There should be ten; 5 of the old building and 5 of the new one. -- Cecil (talk) 11:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your interest in that Wikiproject. The main problem is that it had a lot of activity in the time-frame 2007 to 2008 but it has had no further development since then. I do not see the advantage of working on it if noone will read these pages. Best regards, Alpertron (talk) 20:04, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, WhisperToMe. About Sealle's request above. I'd like to attract your attention to this file. I have some serious doubts about its truthfulness, or rather about the truthfulness of its description. (I've also posted this on the file's talk page. I was directed to you later.)
The photographer claims this photo was taken two hours before the crash of the depicted airplane (more details about the crash). The metadata says it's 10:32. Aparently the time is UTC. It can't be Eastern European (Poland) time zone because then it would mean that it was taken 40 minutes before the airplane took off. It means that the local time was 11:32. In the Northern hemisphere the noon sun should be roughly at the South or South-East. And, if the airplane is flying East or North-East (as the route suggests) the sun should be illuminating the airplane's starboard. However, on the photograph, the sun is aparently shining from the quarter port side (you can see the sun reflection on the left side of the windshield). This implies that the airplane is either flying West in the afternoon, or is flying East in the morning in the Southern hemisphere. Do I understand this part correctly? It is also very suspicious that such a unique shot wasn't used by any news agencies or published on plane-spotters websites. I believe the reason for that is that both of those require the original photograph with genuine metadata. I'm not sure what to do with these doubts, so I thought I'd talk to the Commons' bureaucrat. Could you please take a look? Since I've contacted a few people already, maybe it would be wise to move the discussion to the file's talk page where it started? Thank you.

Hi.
About your request for the Air China office in Helsinki. The office is in the Kaivotalo. In the inner city of Helsinki pretty much every building has a name. Talo is the Finnish word for house. Kaivo stands for fountain. There is a big fountain in the inner court of the building. The building next to Kaivotalo is Makkaratalo, Sausage house, thanks to the weird sausage-like construction surrounding the building. Anyway there is already a nice image of the building here since 2007. Unless you have more special requests I would say that request is solved. -- Cecil (talk) 04:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He, WhisperToMe. There're some inaccuracies here.[4]
I see somebody else as the translator. No matter what they say on usgs.gov.
Please see this [5] "Preuredio: Tomislav Kraljević; Bully." Uploaded on hr.wiki on Aug 2, 2007.
The material from usgs.gov is from [6] 07-Mar-2013.
Did they separately translated and came to same results, I don't know.
Anyway, they made one big mistake. The words on the picture must be written with small letters, not with capitals. So it goes: "oceani, površinske vode, isparavanje, zalihe podzemne vode, etc." not Oceani, Površinske vode, Isparavanje, Zalihe podzemne vode etc.

Hello WhisperToMe, I am not sure where to write to you, so you may see this message double. I noticed you wrote on a page that if any task needs to be done you could be asked for it. I am a member of the international team of Wiki Loves Monuments who takes care of the upload campaigns used with the picture contest Wiki Loves Monuments next month. For these upload campaigns we need to translate some templates into various languages so that as much as possible people can participate in their own language. My question is if you can have a look at th:วิกิพีเดีย:สถานทูตวิกิมีเดีย#Translation_requests_into_Thai where I posted a message with specific lines to translate into Thai.

Have the pictures of the new head office of Finnair. They are a bit dark, was still rather early.
Also I went to the coordinates you gave me for Stockholm Arlanda. It's on airport property and I wasn't in the mood to climb over barbwire so no access. There was nothing that screamed headquarters. The coordinates themselves seem to be on the tarmac so the photos are of the surrounding buildings. The first two photos are from outside the airport property. Upstairs is the terminal with gates 29-36 and restaurants, but downstairs I could see through the windows on the left side of the building and there are offices inside (only they were empty which is a bit weird for a Monday). I later went to gate 26 and from there I photographed the buildings on the other side of the tarmac. In my opinion they don't look much like office buildings. Maybe the headquarters is spread over the whole airport.

Translation added. Regarding the plane image that was added, it was not the plane that crashed, and I don't know from what era was that plane with red strips. Garuda has always (to my knowledge) has distinctive blue tail, including the crashed plane, such as in the report here: [7]. Putting that image would be misleading. Btw, I can't find the casualties information (name, nationality, etc.) other than their sexes in the report or other places. Is that customary to left out the personal details of the casualties? (even their nationality would be considered common in more recent plane crashes, such as the Malaysian MAS accidents). Bennylin (yes?) 15:23, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I might well be able to do it ... I have been thinking, with the warmer (well, today, theoretically warmer) weather coming in, of going down there to take some pictures. I could add yours to my routine. What are you interested in? Daniel Case (talk) 19:55, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I thank you and I'm glad your request to make of the photos in Rome! Unfortunately, tomorrow I leave for the holidays (I'm going to Catanzaro, another Italian city wonderful!), Then, the photos that you have requested I could do on my return to Rome, in the first days of September, if that's okay! I greet you! --Nicholas Gemini (talk) 15:39, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. In answer to your query, I live in Perth, Western Australia. I am in a position to take photographs within the area bounded by a line from Geraldton to Kalgoorlie to Esperance and by the coast from Esperance to Geraldton. However, I wouldn't necessarily be able to photograph immediately the parts of that area most distant from Perth. I also travel occasionally to other places in Australia, especially Melbourne, which I visit approximately once each year. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:01, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP-pt is a so hostile environment that I'm preferring to not bring more attention to those articles. The Manaus article was not merged, it was suppressed, until now, nothing have been done to concluded this non sense merge, and all other schools, have very similar structure.
And as I already told you, for taking photos of SPaulo school, it will take a big effort for not that much return, they did not answer a email that I send, a time ago, about taking photos.
@Rodrigo.Argenton: Oh, ok. Thank you for giving me an update on the situation. As for Manaus, I thought it was merged because the information on the article was moved to a larger article about the history of the city of Manaus, and the standalone school page redirects to the history of Manaus. (the edit history of the Manaus school is still there) WhisperToMe (talk) 12:25, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Those are all modern buildings so, as Belgium lacks freedom of panorama, their pictures can't be uploaded to Commons. I knew the subterfuge of uploading to Wikipedia in French but not the English one: do they accept non-FoP images over there as well? Another issue is that hanging outside schools in Belgium taking photographs may raise suspicions since the terrorist attacks of Paris last November. That being said, I can get pictures of at least a few of those buildings but I would like to understand better the background of your request. Why are you interested in those buildings? Is this part of a larger project? Do you need a specific feature of each building, general views, aerial views...? --Hispalois (talk) 22:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Yes, indeed, it is great news that Belgium has moved to allow freedom of panorama. I am going to take pictures of at least one of those schools and forward your request to Wikimedia Belgium to find other volunteers. Cheers. --Hispalois (talk) 19:18, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Could you transfer your uploads in Aceh Wikipedia (ace:Special:ListFiles/WhisperToMe) from there to Commons? Or at least add a proper license tag, so that others can use https://tools.wmflabs.org/commonshelper/ . On transfer maybe also change the names of the files from XYZaceh.png to names that are not related to Aceh Wikipedia.
If your files could be deleted in Aceh Wikipedia, then this Wikipedia would be in the group of Wikipedias that have less than 100 local files. 91.9.96.16811:51, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Was at the airport today to take the requested picture. Couldn't get very close to it because of a high fence and security, but since I was already in the area I also took pictures of other buildings. So there are also some of a Catering company, the Jetflite Oy buildings, the Securitas building and the terminal for private flights which I had no idea existed at the other end of the airport area. Managed to get into the empty bus at the same stop as some guy and then we got out at the same stop and since we had exactly the same route until I started taking pictures of the building he disappeared in, it made me feel like crazy stalker girlfriend which is why I didn't try to get closer to the Norra building. I had a hiking group waiting for me and didn't want to get arrested for weird behaviour. - Cecil (talk) 19:42, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I looked up the us-census enthicity city maps here on commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Race_and_Ethnicity_by_Eric_Fischer) and noticed that most of them are from 2000. Since im not too much of an expert of all of this on commons, though i like to and did use many images of commons for wikipedia, im wondering if you could upload other maps from 2010 as well as you apparently did with the map of Detroit.

Hey Whisper. I am just asking again if there is any chance for getting more maps like the old mentioned ones. You thanked me once for an edit here but i didnt hear from you since.

Please find a photograph of the Office Building with the Head office of SkyWork Airlines here: [8]
Feel free to add a matching category for the picture.
Unfortunately, SkyWork Airlines is on the 3rd floor of this office building (I was there on a public holiday, and the building was closed). There is not much from Skywork visible beside two parked cars, and their name on a mailbox and on the info panel in front of the building. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmdr Zod (talk • contribs) 22:29, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You requested a picture of the former offices of the SUST Bereich Bahnen und Schiffe - Monbijoustr. 51 A 3003 Berne.
I was there and took a few pictures, but there is definitely nothing to show of (I catched mediocre weather too), the entry to building number 51A is in a backyard and doesn't look to pleasant.
What exactly do you want? A picture of the entry, showing the house number "51A"?
I also took a picture from the front of the whole building (Seems to be 51, and not 51 A), but I can't tell where exactly the office was located.
I can provide a picture of the official sign showing which state department is now in the building, but they have nothing to do with the SUST (It seems to be used by the department of defence right now, SUST belongs to transportation and communication). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmdr Zod (talk • contribs) 21:22, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The official sign and the building itself both would be fine, and I would like to see any other pictures you took. This is because the same picture can be used in articles related to its new owner. Thanks! @Cmdr Zod: WhisperToMe (talk) 21:34, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ! I hope that every thing is OK in China... I have a problem. I uploaded a photo to show the growth of sequoias in 9 years in EuroDisney (interesting !).

Can you give your opinion to avoid the DR (if you agree with it). Thank you. --Tangopaso (talk) 23:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here we have the new president Macron, 49 years old, unkown 3 years ago. The two main political parties (socialist on left hand, republicains on right hand) were swept out at these elections. All regular politicians seem old-fashioned (and often they are) and dont know what to do. The question is : the workers syndicates (such as CGT) will they accept the reforms that Macron wants to do ? Or will they decide hard strikes which are a French speciality : in 1995, one month with only 20% of the metro in Paris. --Tangopaso (talk) 15:20, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When you uploaded this file, you marked it {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}}, but stated (correctly) that it was taken by David Smith of Geograph Britain and Ireland.

Dear WhisperToMe,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth 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 (2017) 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 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. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.

There is a document on Hathi Trust about en:Danube Vilayet here: // If there's a way to get a PDF of that, it would be great. I do not know if it's the Ottoman Turkish version of the French document File:LoiconstitutiveDanubeVilayet.pdf or if it's a different document entirely. If it's different, an Ottoman Turkish version of "Loi constitutive du département formé sous le nom de vilayet du Danube" would be nice too!
Persian version of the Ottoman Constitution of 1876, which was published from 17 January 1877 in Akhtar
The constitutive law of vilayet of the Danube seems to be published in en:Takvim-i Vekayi, def’a 773, (7 Cemaziyelevvel 1281/8 Ekim 1864). I’m looking for it.
I found the Persian version of the Ottoman Constitution in Akhtar. In the newspaper it says: “Because the constitution law is very detailed and it is not possible to include the whole text here, in this issue we just print the translation of the en:Hatt-i humayun about the approval and signing the law…” I will upload the whole archive to the commons asap. -- Meisam (talk) 11:30, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again! Another law that would be interesting to have: "Author's Rights Act of 1910" (Hakk-ı Telif Kanunu, 2 Düstor 273 (1910), 12 Jamad ul Awal 1328 or 22 May 1910) it seems to be the first copyright code in the empire. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Found more info on this page: Akiba, Jun "From Kadı to Naib: Reorganization of the Ottoman Sharia Judiciary in the Tanzimat Period" in Imer, Colin , ed. Frontiers of Ottoman Studies, 1, London/New York: I.B. Tauris, p. 43 - CITED: p. 59
It says the vilayet law was first published in 1864 in Düstur Volume I, pages 517-538, and the 1867 version was printed in the Düstur Volume I, pages 608-624. It also mentioned "TV 773" but I do not know what it means. Young's page mentions "7 Djem. II 1281" while Jun Akiba's article says: "7 Cümadelahir 1281" (Young uses 8 November 1864 and Akiba says 7 November 1864). I'm guessing the French abbreviation "7 Djem. II" means "Cümadelahir", and this would be Jumaada al-Akhir a.k.a. Jumada al-Thani, correct?
The version we have on the commons, has been published before serialization of the volumes. But, there’s no such a thing in the book! Although, I found a 1872/3 set of Dustur which includes it in page 608. I have to clean-up the files before uploading them to the Commons.
Thank you for the help! I added notes to en:Jumada al-Thani talking about the Turkish dates. Also it seems like the 1864 law is the Danube law, and was a draft, and the 1867 "Law of the Vilayets" law is the final version, right?
Also Cümadelahir is the same as "Cemaziyelahir" (modern Turkish), right?
It is! Thank you! I am also making good use of the dictionaries as I'm citing them for the vocabulary. Previously the ENwiki articles on Islamic months mentioned Arabic names but not Turkish ones, so people seeing the Turkish terms would have gotten confused. By citing and adding Turkish names people reading about the empire will get a clearer picture! I appreciate what you've found :-D WhisperToMe (talk) 16:03, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
BTW I found some reviews of Corps de droit ottoman and one reviewer noted that it does get spellings of some Turkish names wrong, though he characterized it as a minor thing, and he said some of the spelling mistakes were common (I can send you the review if you like) WhisperToMe (talk) 17:39, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again! Please ping me if you are leaving a message for me in your own talk page.
I couldn’t find any evidence of these drafts being published anywhere else. But the authors of these drafts has been dead for more than 70 years and some of it seems to be already on Commons (for example: File:Entwurf Kanun-i Esasi 75–83.jpg) Turkish users may be able to help in finding a HQ scan of them.
BTW, I had already upload 2 versions of the Redhouse's Turkish Dictionary to the commons (1, 2). Please search for the books before uploading them (and check this cat) and also upload the highest quality available. -- Meisam (talk) 22:35, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Meisam: Thanks for the notice! Honestly I didn't even realize that copies of the dictionaries are already there. Anyway I changed the usage on ENwiki to your copy, so the inferior copy can be speedied.
Is it always the case that one needs to download the original JP2s or TIFs and make a PDF out of them? If so, what software do you use to make the PDFs?
I found that the PDFSam program I'm using won't let me build PDF files (without paying extra) out of the original JP2s... Also the fre online PDF makers won't handle JP2 files. WhisperToMe (talk) 10:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Usually the pdfs on the archive have been compressed and/or put through the OCR (which doesn’t work properly on the Ottoman Turkish language). I always download the original scans and merge them into a pdf without further compressing myself.
I’m using an academic service which runs the Adobe Acrobat pro on an enterprise server for image to PDF conversion. If you are looking for a free software, ImageMagick should be able to do it. -- Meisam (talk) 10:57, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also I checked File:LoiconstitutiveDanubeVilayet.pdf and found original TIFs for that. File:LoiconstitutiveDanubeVilayetnew.pdf has a much sharper resolution though some of the pages (the book cover) don't show up in the new one. If you like you can judge whether the book cover/etc need to be ported over or not, and/or whether some pages should be snipped.
As for three PDFs for larger books (hundreds of pages) I might need help from another user with those as imagemagick seems to hang if I try to convert a book w hundreds of pages.
The quality of the File:OttomanConstEngNew.pdf looks fine to me. If the text is OCR-readable, can you please put it through an OCR software? In this way, the Commons’ search engine can read and index the content of the documents too. BTW, I would say for the English texts printed on a white paper, having the absolute best quality of the scan is not a big deal. Most OCR applications can easily read the text and nothing is lost with a bit of compression.
@Meisam: Thanks for the tips! For the Danube book I think I'll find a way to splice the missing pages onto the HQ PDF. As for the Ottoman Constitution, I put it on Wikisource here: wikisource:Ottoman constitution of 1876 in English and French
Also: I wonder in which issues of the Takvim i Vekayi and/or the Dustur the Nizâmnâme-i Millet-i Ermeniyân occurs in?
In addition a copy of the 1876 Constitution is in Düstūr 1st series (tertïb-i evvel), Volume 4, Pages 4-20. I am interested in linking this document with the other copies of the constitution.
@Meisam: Thanks for the update! As for the constitution, I'll link together the PDFs! Anyway I read that the appendix of this book has a faxed copy of the Armenian millet constitution in the Armenian language, but it was published in Turkey: Artinian, Vartan. Osmanlı Devleti’nde Ermeni Anayasası’nın Doğuşu 1839-1863, tr. Zülal Kılıç (Istanbul: Aras Yayıncılık, 2004). I already have a scan for the Armenian one for that, but there is also a version in Armeno-Turkish (Turkish in Armenian characters) in the appendix and I'm interested in getting a copy of the scan, unless/until an HQ scan is made.

@Meisam: Quick question: I found a book saying the Armenian regulations in Ottoman Turkish were in "Dustur, Istanbul, 1289, II, pp. 938-961". Isn't this one already uploaded? WhisperToMe (talk) 23:58, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
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.
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)[reply]

@Solomon203: @EugeneZelenko: Hi! I had intended to photograph the office and not any particular ad. Anyhow I saw what I believe is a cached version of the image and I wonder if it's OK if I cropped out the image of the flight attendant and only had the office exterior (the plain red part w the AirAsia logo) remaining.

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.
If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.
Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

I just uploaded 25 photos of Radium Springs. I noticed on Wikipedia there was an entry for "Radium Springs, Georgia" as an unincorporated community which also had the category of "Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia". I think the Wikipedia Entry has too many categories and there should be an entry for the Springs by itself but I don't know much about Wikipedia. I see articles over categorized over there and that bothers me. On commons I created a category called "Radium Springs (Georgia)" for the springs and a category called "Radium Springs, Georgia" for the unincorporated community. "Radium Springs (Georgia)" will be in the "Radium Springs, Georgia" category. Does this sound good to you? Thanks for your help. --Mjrmtg (talk) 20:43, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mjrmtg: Thanks for the question! I was thinking the springs would be "Radium Springs" (without disambiguation in the title) as natural features like "Cape May" (the peninsula) are such while the city is "Cape May, New Jersey". I can check the MOS just to be sure. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:59, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know if any other state might have a "Radium Springs", let me know if you want me to move it to that. --Mjrmtg (talk) 21:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I took a photo of Northeast Middle School today with the correct signage and put it on the "Northeast Campus, Tift County High School" article. Could you move the wikipedia article "Northeast Campus, Tift County High School" to "Northeast Middle School"? Thanks. --Mjrmtg (talk) 21:35, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On another subject... Not sure if you've seen I've added your requested photos of Blakely, Jakin and Warner Robins to my talk page. --Mjrmtg (talk) 13:58, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!
I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.
We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.
Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.
Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
Why not upload a picture of a plant, animal, or anything else which fits into our scope. You can contribute any media type you want, including but not limited to images, videos, music, and 3D models. Start uploading now!
If you don't have anything to upload at the moment, why not take a look at our best images or best videos, sounds and 3D models. If you have any doubts/questions don't hesitate to visit our help desk.

@N509FZ: Thank you! I added the École expérimentale franco-chinoise de Pékin as well as the Korean International School in Beijing and the Sanlitun and Shunyi British schools. I may add some other international schools, although I dont know if there are security considerations for those schools around embassies. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:21, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@N509FZ: Yep! I've found that if I go photo hunting for one site, I may stumble upon some others that are also encyclopedic and/or good for the Wikimedia Commons! Anyhow I found Owennson seems to only want metro-related or bus-related requests on that list and not sites that are on metro or bus lines WhisperToMe (talk) 18:51, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, you mean that hospital in Xidan? "Peking Union Medical College Hospital (West), No.41 Damucang Hutong, Xicheng District, Beijing,China" according to its website. That's the former Posts and Telecommunications General Hospital (邮电总医院), and I remembered I've been there, but I haven't uploaded its pics. --N509FZTalk前置，有座！Front engine with seats!02:36, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you asking someone about getting photos in Georgia. I make it to the Atlanta area often, and much of the southeast part of the state. I'll take a look at your photo requests. Bubba73 (talk) 21:00, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@TilmannR: Thank you for asking! It was taken at the latest in 2014. Several of my photos uploaded around this time had wrong EXIF dates. Some of those photos have LED displays which state real dates, and I wonder if a computer program could calculate the real dates. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:43, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Calculating the real dates would certainly be possible, if we can figure out the real date of one of those images and assuming that the camera's date is just off by a fixed amount.
Let me make some progress on this list before we start another but for anything "urgent" LOL just FYI I'm happier going inland (east) and toward the South Bay (south) than north to Malibu/San Fernando/Conejo whatever. Cheers. :)
@Mjrmtg: Thank you so much! I also sorted the photos and put them in articles! Anyhow, the official site on the bottom now identifies the David Road site as Jefferson County K12 School. However while the elementary school is now on the same property as the middle/high school, I am not sure if the building is visible from the public roads. I tried to find it from a public angle on Google Maps but Im having trouble... WhisperToMe (talk) 16:09, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
