Problems with source and date

Imagine a painting by Gilbert Stuart (1800) later made into an anonymous engraving (1900) and then me scanning the engraving or taking a photo of it with my iPhone (2000) and uploading it to Commons (2020). We ask for a date and a source when uploading without specifying you expect the date of the original painting, or the derivative engraving, or the derivative scan. You also ask for the source, again of what, the painting, the engraving, or am I the source of the scanned image. I see almost daily nominations for deletion because the nominator is expecting the date of the Gilbert Stuart painting or of the engraving, buy Commons uses the metadata from the scan. How is a novice uploader expected to know which date is the preferred one? The same goes for using source=own_work, which the derivative scan or photograph actually is.

When is a photograph published?

Most people think of publishing as appearing in a newspaper or a magazine. For the purposes of copyright it means a "discernable copy" or a "derivative copy" or a "tangible copy" has been distributed or viewed by the public. For a modern photograph the original creative work is the original camera negative (OCN), any print or duplicate of the OCN is a "discernable copy". The act of the photographer sending a copy to the person appearing in the image is the equivalent of publication for copyright purposes. This would not apply to daguerreotypes in which the positive on a metal plate is the original creative work. Some negatives in collections may never have had a print distributed. For instance, the Library of Congress houses the Bain Collection original glass negatives, some of which may not have been printed and distributed. Up until 1976 distributed images needed to have a copyright notice. Images after 1977 no longer needed a visible copyright symbol.

Marriage dates

Currently we have marriage dates as (1920-1940) which looks identical to birth and death dates, which can be confusing since many men marry women 20 years younger than them. Can we change them from (1920-1940) to (m. 1920-1940)? That would be the format used by most other reference works.

Video conversion

Hi all. Just uploaded a webm video, which looks a bit lousy / pixelated. Yet exactly the same video on You Tube looks fine. Anything I can do to get a better, crisper, higher resolution? Thanks! Llywelyn2000 (talk) 15:45, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Llywelyn2000, webm can be quite lossy, so that's part of it. The part you can control is the software you use for the conversion. Most of the free software solutions are absolutely terrible at converting to webm, even with maximum-quality settings selected. Recently, Avidmux was recommended to me, and I strongly recommend giving it a try. Just make sure you select (in the left column) VP9 for video, Vorbis for audio, and convert to Webm. Click "Configure" under Video Output and make sure quality is set to best (can't remember exact wording, not at my home computer atm). The program is a little more technical than other options, but the quality is superb. — Huntster (t @ c) 16:39, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Really thankful for this. One question: why is the upload on You Tube (see my link above) much better yet same file was uploaded to both sites? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 17:22, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Llywelyn2000, I'm looking back at things, and I'm wondering if you were seeing a lower-resolution version created by the Mediawiki software. I'm not sure how the back-end works for video, but I know the lower resolution encodes get finished first, followed later by the better quality encodes (which of course take more time). When you click on the video at File:Generating WP articles from WD.webmhd.webm and click on the little gear icon at lower right, is "WebM Source" selected or one of the lower resolutions? Honestly, the video is looking pretty good to me at the moment when it is in WebM Source mode. — Huntster (t @ c) 17:50, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

If it's possible for you to use Vimeo, that does the best conversions to Webm that I've been able to find. - Jmabel ! talk 17:52, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

@Huntster: No, HTML5 VP9 player is selected. No idea why. Can't seem to change it to the original. Is this the default? @Jmabel: i used Mirai Video Converter, and converted from a 1.48 GB mov file. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 18:02, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Llywelyn2000, I honestly cannot say why. I don't have that as an option, just "WebM Source", "sd 480p", "low 240p", "low 180p", "low 160p", and "low 120p". Anyone have some other thoughts? — Huntster (t @ c) 18:10, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

How do I search for a Wikidata Q number

I can see that I added depicts:Q5342857 to a new entry here in Commons, but how would I search for something I may have added a year or two ago where I may have formatted it as [[Wikidata:Q5342857|Edward Young]] and would not appear as a standard text search? I did not add a category and cannot find it. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:27, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

You can use the insource search feature, e.g. insource:Q5342857 — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 21:49, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Finger pointing

You're looking for en:Index (typography) and Category:Manicules. Unicode has a few of them in the Misc Symbols block, whether they look old-timey, modern or Emoji-/Simpson-yellow of course depends on the font you use. --El Grafo (talk) 09:35, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Periodicals

{{PD-US-not renewed}} [http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/firstperiod.html Works copyrighted before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year]. If the copyright was not renewed, the work is in the public domain. No renewal notice was found for this periodical for issues published in this year. For instance, the first [http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/cinfo/nytimes New York Times issue renewed was from April 1, 1928]. Some publications may have renewed an individual article from an earlier time, for instance the New York Times renewed at least one article published on January 9, 1927. If you find any contrary evidence, or the renewal database has been updated, please notify me. No renewal notices have been found for articles supplied by the Associated Press to subscribing newspapers.

This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1927 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.

Is there more automated upload method than Upload Wizard?

Using Upload Wizard I still have to cut and paste the category 100 times and and cut and paste the description 100 times if I am uploading 100 tombstones from a cemetery, is there a better way?. RAN (talk) 04:14, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

@Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ): I haven't used any of them myself, but there are a number of tools designed for bulk uploading described at Commons:Upload tools. – BMacZero (🗩) 04:42, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

RAN in Upload Wizard there is this link under first image properties to copy them to all the images... --Jarekt (talk) 04:45, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

OTRS for a collection

Can I release a whole collection of photos under a single OTRS mailing without naming each file? Or do I have to list each image in an email to OTRS? This determines how fast I have to scan a collection of images and where the OTRS ticket notice appears. The OTRS message can appear in the category for the collection, and/or in each image. RAN (talk) 17:28, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

If all files belong in the same category and no other files belong to that category, it is easy. The OTRS agent will use a mass edit tool to add the otrs template to all files. --C.Suthorn (talk) 17:47, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

To my knowledge, you can do so. For example, we have {{BollywoodHungama}} that releases the whole content of the website under one single OTRS ticket, apparently. Besides, the main point is to release it under a free, suitable license. The important thing is the content of the OTRS ticket, it can be about one single image, a collection etc. Ahmad^talk 17:52, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Yes. Similarly, OTRS can be used to designate a Commons account that you trust to operate on your behalf (but then, of course, you have to live with it if that person goes rogue on you). - Jmabel ! talk 19:20, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

Renewal notice and image match as an example

Can someone provide a link for a renewal notice for an individual photograph that I can add to some boilerplate text. Generally we certify that a renewal notice is absent, but I would like to include a renewal example to show what it looks like. We also need the photograph hosted somewhere online, maybe one hosted by Corbis or Getty. I know it is hard to match a prose description of a photograph to an actual photo, especially when a dozen photographers were present from a dozen news organizations. A Good example if you can match them would be the one discussed by the Library of Congress: "It was discovered that copyrights were placed and renewed on the photographs of the Dionne Quintuplets taken by the [Newspaper Enterprise Association]." Renewal notices are here: http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/cce/ RAN (talk) 18:39, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Photograph of photographers vs. Photographs by photographers

Do we have a standardized way to categorize "photographs of photographers" vs. "photographs by photographers". In most cases we have both in the same category which confuses a Google image search. Sometimes we set up "Category:Images by John Smith" and sometimes "Category:John Smith studio". Is there a distinction because one may be a solo practice and one may have multiple photographers working for the same studio? RAN (talk) 15:52, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

• I think the way we handle Category:Asahel Curtis is reasonable:
  • Category:Asahel Curtis: top level, including the few photos of him.
    • Category:Curtis & Miller: his one significant partnership
      • Category:Photographs by Curtis & Miller: Photos credited to the partnership
  • Category:Photographs by Asahel Curtis: photographs by him
    • Category:Photographs by Curtis & Miller (reappears here)
  • Category:Images from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company Photographs Collection: Photographs from the collection he curated. Mostly his own, should be placed here by a template indicating the collection, but some of these are older photos he collected.

Licenses

{{PD-scan|PD-EU-no author disclosure}}

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason: The copyright of this image has expired in the European Union because it was published more than 70 years ago without a public claim of authorship (anonymous or pseudonymous), and no subsequent claim of authorship was made in the 70 years following its first publication. To use this template, the image must meet both of the following two conditions: published over 70 years ago, and the original author's actual identity was not publicly disclosed in connection with this image within 70 years following its publication. Images that lack either of these two conditions should not use this template. Reasonable evidence must be presented that the author's name (e.g., the original photographer, portrait painter) was not published with a claim of copyright in conjunction with the image within 70 years of its original publication. Works which had not entered Public Domain in their country in 1996 should be marked additionally with {{Not-PD-US-URAA}}. Note: In Germany and possibly other countries, certain anonymous works published before July 1, 1995 are copyrighted until 70 years after the death of the author if the author's identity became public in any way. See Übergangsrecht. Please use this template only if you have proof that the author never claimed authorship or their authorship never became public in any other way. This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
