Template usage

Buongiorno Zandev, can you accept advices? First, thank you for uploading fine images / SVG drawings. When I came accidently to Limit sin x x relabeled.svg I saw that something could be recommnded:

1. For |source= the template Own based is better suited than Attrib which is more to be used for additional attributions, not for the "main" base.
2. For |permission= only licenses should be given. When a license is specified below of =={{int:license-header}}== this field should remain empty – or removed totally, but never get comments like 'see below'.
3. When there is any need to specify more than one user, at e.g. author= or by= or editor= or Based or Attrib or AutVec etc., the template Userlist (short: Ul) can be used, which internationalizes the final 'and'.
4. But when the 'original' user is mentioned in Based it need not to be repeated at author=, in this case it is enough to specify only the author of the "derivate" file.

The first three changes are made at Limit sin x x relabeled.svg. My best wishes for continuous successful work in wikimedia ! -- sarang♥사랑 10:33, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Village flag of Epse, Netherlands

Farm in Epse

Sir, Could you please vectorize this village flag. The flag is flying at the farm. Please make it svg and upload it to the following thumbmail. Alexphangia Talk 15:05, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@Alexphangia: I'll try but I will need additional informations:

• For the blue castle I would put the one inside File:Gorssel vlag.svg that seems to me enough similar, but maybe there are even more similar castles. This would be OK?
• I would need the flag proportion (if unknown I'll use 2/3)
• I don't know how to replicate the "EPSE" text as it is in the raster image. If you find anything more somewhere about it (the font, already vectorialized version) this could be very useful

ZandDev (talk) 15:32, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Okay. Alexphangia Talk 15:32, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@Alexphangia: I found a raster version for now, I'll upload it here: File:Epse vlag.jpg. With it I'll try to vectorize also the text. ... ZandDev (talk) 15:45, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

okay Alexphangia Talk 15:47, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@Alexphangia: I don't know the Dutch legislations. Is the flag copyright-free, or assimilable as municipality flags, tagged with {{PD-NL-gemeentevlag}}? ZandDev (talk) 15:57, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Yes, it is used to be public domain for all Dutch local flags. Alexphangia Talk 15:58, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Okay, let's upload. ZandDev (talk) 15:59, 4 October 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) 15:51, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Template

Ciao, del template ne parliamo tra due settimane quando esco dal sin-bin. Comunque sì, è ambigua la formulazione, l'ho capito anche a spese mie. -- Blackcat 14:51, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Warning Google e categorizzazione immagini

Scorrendo Category:DjVu files in Italian ho di nuovo trovato un vecchio, irrisolto problema: CropTool è uno strumento formidabile, ma introduce un errore; riproduce tutto il contenuto della pagina testuale associata a File, compreso il template Book e le categorie. Questo significa, aimè, che anche le immagini jpg o png derivate sono categorizzare come libri, e infatti si ritrovano nella categoria (e non solo in quella: tutte le categorie relative all'autore o riferite comunque al libri, e non a immagini, sono errate).

Sto mettendo in funzione il mio bot, User:BrolloBot, che è autorizzato anche su Commons; l'idea è di rimuovere dalle illustrazioni jpg o png tutte le categorie che puntano su libri, o che puntano all'autore del libro, contenute in Category:DjVu files in Italian sostituendole, intanto, con la categoria Category:Illustrations from djvu files in Italian. Si tratta di migliaia di pagine (oltre 3000). Poi sarà meno frustrante cercare, via anteprime, i casi di soli file djvu con warning Google.

So che sarà una goccia nel mare di errori e di casini nei metadati delle pagine Commons relative ai libri, ma da qualche parte si deve cominciare. :-( . Il mio precedente tentativo più ambizioso (la conversione del'inappropriato tl|Information in tl|Book) è miseramente fallito per insufficienza di informazioni e diverso stile di compilazione, utente per utente. Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 09:08, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

@Alex brollo: Il problema è che Commons è ancora considerato un pozzo senza fondo dove buttare la roba. Tutto il sistema di categorie (ma anche i template e la stessa interfaccia grafica dei file) è obsoleto ed estremamente difficile da manutenere, soprattutto quando la gente si impegna (è facile) a categorizzare malamente.

Queste iniziative sono estremamente importanti perché servono a creare valore da una massa enorme di dati tutti simili.

E non hai considerato le licenze: bello scoprire che i libri medioevali sono ancora sotto copyright in un sacco di stati se si usa {{PD-old-70}}, ma sei usi {{Pd-self}} o le varie licenze CC li hai scritti addirittura tu! Pensa un po', un tuffo nel passato. -- ZandDev (talk) 16:55, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@ZandDev Eh... lo so. Vorrei rovistare un po' le categorie per vedere se tutti i file multipagina (di servizio per wikisource, ossia PDF o DjVu) sono correttamente categorizzati in Category:PDF files in Italian oppure Category:DjVu files in Italian, entrambe "figlie" di Category:Books in Italian. Ti segnalo la nuoba categoria, sempre sotto Category:Books in Italian: Category:Books in Italian to fix; ci ficco dentro i file che hanno il warning Google come pagina iniziale, per correggerli un po' alla volta, e questi hanno una miniatura autoesplicativa; ma se ti capitano altri svarioni (come l'uso di tl|Pd-self o tl|CC...), per favore aggiungili alla nuova categoria, se non riesci a sistemare tu stesso, grazie! Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 17:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

E, per quanto riguarda la categorizzazione delle pagine dei libri, ti prego, dividile per libro:

• Ogni libro deve avere la sua categoria su Commons (se sono state estratte immagini)
  • La relativa categoria si deve chiamare come il libro
• Ogni libro può avere una sottocategoria dove inserire tutte le immagini ricavate a partire dal libro della forma "Category:Illustrations from <nome del libro>", se non esiste vanno inserite nella categoria (madre) del libro
• Nella categoria è inserito il {{Wikidata infobox}}
• Non so (vedi tu) se ha senso creare una flat category
• Rimuovere dalle immagini tutte le categorie relative al libro
• Vedere anche come fanno le altre edizioni linguistiche di Wikisource

--ZandDev (talk) 17:16, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Perfettamente d'accordo, è lo schema suggerito da Ruthven e riportato nella mia pagina utente. Ma ammetto che lo utilizzo solo quando faccio caricamenti di massa di illustrazioni dello stesso libro. Per ora mi accontento dei aver ripulito temporaneamente le categorie "libri" dalle immagini. --Alex_brollo Talk|Contrib 17:27, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Buono a sapersi, te l'avevo scritto io al momento. ZandDev (talk) 17:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Alex brollo: Guarda per es. File:Storia dell'arte in Sardegna dal XI al XIV secolo (IA storiadellartein00scan) (page 347 crop).jpg: t|Book senza link, template di licenza triplicato, sta dentro la categoria dello scrittore e in Category:Books uploaded by Fæ. --ZandDev (talk) 17:36, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Alex brollo: (Non serve che mi pinghi nella mia talk) L'avevo vista, ci ho già ficcato alcuni file e figurati, quei svarioni di licenza li correggo io a vista! ZandDev (talk) 17:28, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
