==Overwriting images==

:Hey. When you upload an image over an existing image, anything you put in the text box will showup next to the newer version upload information near the bottom of the page. For example, if you look at [[:Image:12th Royal Scots Lewis gunners in gas masks 25-06-1918.jpg]], you'll see the 3 images you uploaded after it say nothing. But, if you put something like "cropped image" in the text, it would say "cropped image" instead of nothing. It's kinda like the edit summary, but for images. Just a little tid-bit, not a mandatory thing, but helpful for folks looking at those things.

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:St_Anne's_Limehouse_2.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[Commons:Licensing|copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a [[Commons:Derivative works|derivative]] of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{tl1|self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the [[Commons:Copyright_tags#Free_Creative_Commons_licenses|Creative Commons]] Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{tl|PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See [[Commons:Copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Commons:Deletion guidelines|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wiki=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text={{PAGENAMEE}} Gallery] tool.

== Aurel Stein photos ==

Hi Andrew, I've noticed that your bot has uploaded a number of photos by [[:en:Aurel Stein|Aurel Stein]], e.g those in [[:Category:Kharakhoto|Category:Kharakhoto]].  As Stein died in 1943 his photos are still in copyright until 2014, so unless I'm missing something I think they need to be deleted from commons. [[User:BabelStone|BabelStone]] ([[User talk:BabelStone|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 12:42, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
:Have you had any more thoughts about these? Your bot has uploaded quite a large number of photos by Stein that are probably still in copyright, including some or all of the following. I think it best to delete them if we cannot be sure that IDP owns their copyright (if they do own their copyright then they are wrongly licensed), and reupload them in January 2014.

::I've finally managed to track down an answer to this. The IDP believe themselves to be the copyright holders of Stein's works, and are happy to release them as public domain-equivalent (which they're going to hit in thirteen months anyway). I think the best solution here is to relabel them {{tl|CC-0}}, and leave a note to switch it come Jan 2014; I'll try to get this done before I go away at the weekend.

== Picture of the Year voting round 1 open ==
Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open.  We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

:# Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered '''before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000''' [UTC].
:# This user account must have more than '''75 edits''' on '''any single''' Wikimedia project '''before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000''' [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the [//toolserver.org/~pathoschild/accounteligibility/?user=&wiki=&event=27 POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool].
:# Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through [[meta:Help:Unified login|SUL]]).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.  

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final.  In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to [[Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2012|the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons]]

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by '''January 30, 2013'''.

Thanks,<br />
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee<br />

Hi Andrew,

Kudos fot the music manuscripts uplaod, these are beautiful.

Just so you know: {{tl|PD-old}} is not a good template to use. It is the least precise template we have around and he is to be deprecated (well, someday).

{{tl|PD-old-100-1923}} is a far better choice for your case here.

:Canada has more lax dates for public domain and I think someone mentioned that the US law is not being read correctly. One says that the US law makes works public domain in the US at the same time they become public domain in Canada. See[[Template:PD-Canada]]. I may email copyright.usa.gov and ask them. I have emailed my Canadian copyright minister a few times with no results. We did get results with the Canadian Space Agency when we emailed them they released all photos by our Canadians in space to the public domain the same as NASA does. Would you be interested in emailing copyright.ca and copyright.us if I can find their emails? My email address may seem odd to them and they may just dump them all in spam folders.

Congratulations on your productive year at the BL! Also, the project page at [[:w:WP:GLAM/BL]] is a wonderful model for our smaller project at [[:w:WP:GLAM/GFPLM]].

== Girdwood ==

Re: [[:Category:British Library Photo 24 (Girdwood Collection)]]

My 2p of feedback is that I like the idea of having a Commons project page that explains the context of a collection. It might be an idea to add a couple of sentences to the catalogue page which currently is the parent of the project subpage and ensure that people are encouraged to follow the link to find out more. A tip from an experience I had with some Boston library collections of multiple prints, is to add these as ''other_versions'' of each other, and again ensure that the introduction to the category explains that some images in the category may be prints of the same negative, but have value in the future digital reconstruction or clean-up of images, so for these reasons it is helpful to retain multiple prints - an example being [[:File:9th Gurkhas drawing rations at a French farm house St Floris, France (Photo 24-57).jpg]] and [[:File:9th Gurkhas drawing rations at a French farm house St Floris, France (Photo 24-56).jpg]]. --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 22:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

== region categories for British Columbia ==

As I commented elsewhere, I've long been a critic of using regional districts for classifying topics and images from British Columbia.  They are only one kind of governmental subdivision used in the province and their use in describing/classifying where something is is often not directly citable, and is in fact original research in many cases.  Their names are often composed of the traditional/geographic regions laid out in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Historical_geographic_regions_of_British_Columbia here in Wikipedia], and in some cases, such as those in the Okanagan region, where there are three regional districts, it's clumsy to break such regions up that way; and in at least one of those cases, other areas ''not'' in the Okanagan (the Boundary and Similkameen regions) are included; the regional district names and origins are all political in nature; the region commonly called the West Kootenay is mostly the REgional District of Central Kootenay, for example; before that RDs naming the term "Central Kootenay" did not exist, and if used at all refers only to the operations and board of the regional district.  Geographic studies and botanical and so on are often classified/cited by forest district, for example. Hospitals by Health Region and so on; BC Names uses Land Districts, which are the cadastral land-survey system's regions.  All this by way of asking how to make categories within the Commons; many of the images I've been adding categories for I've pointedly ''not'' using the available regional district category, partly because of the research it would take to find out which one they're in......is there any way to bot-o-mate adding/creating categories by analyzing/parsing what wikipedia pages/categories given images are used on?[[User:Skookum1|Skookum1]] ([[User talk:Skookum1|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 10:31, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

== BL Mechanical Curator image script ==

Hi Andrew!

I've made a suggestion at [[:Commons_talk:British_Library/Mechanical_Curator_collection#Templates]] to change the {{tl|British Library image}} template added by the [[:Commons:British Library/Mechanical Curator collection/script]] in favour of a new template, more specific to the BL 1million image collection.

You're the expert in this area (and it's your script and your template!), so your thoughts would be invaluable.  All best,  [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 13:26, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

== Advice on British Library classmarks ==

Hi Andrew.  I've been wrangling metadata with a view to trying to use the new GWtoolset system for an automated upload of the set of 430 BL Images Online images recently released to Flickr,
   http://www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/sets/72157640831988343/

I've got the following shelfmarks.  For the {{tl|British Library image}} template, can you tell me which ones I should be recognising as needing the <tt>ms-shelfmark</tt> parameter, as opposed to the ordinary  <tt>shelfmark</tt> ?  Are there patterns?  I know the numeric ones are likely to be standard books, but I'm not sure how to distinguish the rest.  Also, is there anything in the classmarks that jumps out at you as needing cleanup, in order for them to go smoothly with the template? (Some of the titles I know have a problem, but that I can deal with separately)

:Hope you don't mind me flooding your talk page with the above.  A bit more digging suggests I may be in trouble -- especially, the "Add." items appear to be utterly mixed between items in the main catalogue and items in the manuscript catalogue (which I believe really ought to be shelfmarked "Add. MS".  I may need to sort by date, and try to fix it by hand from there.

:The BL search engines also seem to be rather picky -- especially if the search term is in quotes, which the template does automatically.  For example, <tt>Add. 23920</tt> works, but <tt>"Add. 23920"</tt> (with quotes) doesn't.  There also seems to be no particular way to specify a search by classmark -- I'm guessing it's doing a very literal text search.  

:What appears to be needed is <tt>"Add.23,920"</tt>, but then that pulls up all the contents, which the top level container item then gets lost in.  (In any case there seems to be no scope for hierarchical browsing, so if one did happen to be at the container item, e.g. by putting in the new BL system number for it, there seems to be no way to get to its content, even though that content is in the system).  So I'm not even sure what the right answer is, that I ought to be putting in to the template, even having done all the discovery.  And I'm not looking forward to having to do a similar process, for all 430 objects.   Any advice as to what in your view is going to be the best way forward?

:... while Add. 27254 or Add.Or.4973 I can't seem to find in any of the catalogues. [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 20:53, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

::[[User:Jheald| ]]Okay, lots of answers follow!
::First of all, it's important to remember that a lot of this is ''really'' old data. As in, transcribed onto computer in the early nineties, verbatim from slips in the old central index, and with very little standardisation - it was intended for human lookup. So "Additional MS 23920" might be "Add. MS. 23920", "Add. 23920", "Additional 23920" - or any of the above with commas in the thousands place. Ultimately, we're working against a pretty variable record which is fine for a competent human user but problematic for automated matching like we want to do.
::When using either Explore catalogue, it's often a lot more reliable to give a system number than the shelfmark - eg/ [[:File:A Description of Fonthill Abbey and Desmene - John Rutter (1822).pdf]] or [[:File:South East View of Whitby Abbey, Wardale, 1812 (Maps K. Top. 44.53.d).jpg]]. This is not desirable, since we have to look them up by hand, but it's at least predictable in its results. I may be able to get system numbers for these for you - if you drop me an email I'll put you in touch with someone at the BL digital curator team.
::The standard catalogue ''cannot'' search against shelfmark - it has to do a keyword search against the whole record to see this field. However, the MS one can by doing a field search on "reference code", but I never figured out how to construct a search string for it.
::''Most'' Add. MS. material should (as the name suggests) be in the MS catalogue, but for Reasons there are bits in both. I believe in the case of Add. 23920 it's because it's grouped with the cartographic items - note that you can find the same record in both. One additional complication is that the MS catalogue does not contain all manuscript/artwork items (yet) - some is not yet electronic, such as the Oriental Collections (your Add.Or.4973) and some of the older material is mainly covered by the Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts - definitely the case for the Royal MS, generally speaking. It is quite possible that some of these items just will not have a catalogue entry to point to.
::Again, drop me an email and I'll put you in touch. I actually owe them an email about this collection anyway :-) [[User:Andrew Gray|Andrew Gray]] ([[User talk:Andrew Gray#top|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:46, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

*Oh, one last thing. Identifying - it's not incredibly easy to pattern-match, but generally speaking anything that is solely numeric or just numbers and single letters (eg 1786.c.9 or C.58.cc.1.(2)) is a book. Cup. is "cupboard" - large books. "I.O." is India Office and probably on MS catalogue but may not be there at all. Maps unexpectedly includes a lot of "illustrations of places", sketches and photographs, rather than just maps - but should be on the MS catalogue. P.P. is periodicals (?) - not sure where. Almost everything else, especially if it has a ''word'' in there (eg Royal, Yates Thompson, etc) is MS.

== Some additions to the British Library image template ==

Hi!  I've been tinkering with the {{tl|British Library image}} template.  I hope you don't mind.  I wanted to check in with you before I start uploaded.

I've added a few more fields and a bit more plumbing (so far not documented, and only in the English version).  Please let me know if you think it's okay, or whether there are better ways to call things and better ways to do things.

They can be seen in action at [[:User:Jheald/sandbox/test2]], or rather its various subpages 

Fields added:
* <tt>cim-msid</tt>, <tt>cim-coll</tt>, <tt>cim-nstart</tt> 
*: -- used to specify parameters for the Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts, which appears as " - Illustrated catalogue" when available.  <tt>cim-msid</tt> is used preferentially, otherwise <tt>cim-coll</tt> and <tt>cim-nstart</tt>
* <tt>ios-record-id</tt>, <tt>ios-shelfmark</tt> 
*: -- attempts to send people to a details page of the India Office Special Material catalogue.  However, this currently mostly fails at the moment with a 404, unless a search for the item has recently been made through the catalogue.  So it may be necessary just to dump people at the search screen.  (I wasn't sure what the existing <tt>ios</tt> did, or was intended to do, so I've left it alone).

Plumbing added:
* <tt>dips</tt> 
*: -- now pulls up the corresponding page in the online manuscript viewer

Fields added:
* <tt>ms-digi</tt> 
*: -- variant of <tt>ms-shelfmark</tt> with underscores, to link to the Digitised Manuscript project's information page for the MS.  Usually specified with <tt>dips</tt>, in which case it produces "(info)". Otherwise produces " - Digitised manuscript"
* <tt>hasLicense</tt> 
*: -- to shut off the licensing nag message

I have only used <tt>ms-shelfmark</tt> when I have verified that the item does have an entry in the Archives & Manuscripts catalogue, rather than let people come up with nothing; which is why I've added the <tt>ios-shelfmark</tt> and <tt>ms-digi</tt>, which otherwise could perhaps have been constructed from <tt>ms-shelfmark</tt>.  But not sure whether this is the best strategy -- should I have put up a link to the Archives & Manuscripts search anyway, because one day it might lead to something (and the parametrisation would have been more unified).  Or is this way better, because more flexible, and only showing what actually exists.  (And presumably there is a chance the present web urls and presentation etc may get changed completely, before much more gets added to any of the catalogues).

Anyhow, wanted to let you know what I'd been up to, before I uploaded any pic descriptions with these parameters, in case there is a Much Better Way to Do it.    Cheers, [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:11, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

:And one more:
:*  <tt>ios-photo-coll</tt>
:*: -- collection ID for India Office Select Materials photographs, eg <tt>117</tt> for [http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/indiaofficeselect/PhotoShowDescs.asp?CollID=117 Photo 21/].

:I could have linked to catalogue entries for individual photographs, but the ones I looked at weren't very informative, and gave no way to step back up the hierarchy.  Linking to the collection level allows the set to be browsed, with the possibility to step down to the specific entry.  [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 12:27, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

::These look awesome - well done, and please do feel free to overwrite! My <tt>ios</tt> is unused because I could never get that to work properly. How are you using the CIM entries? IIRC, those all have to be looked up by hand, which is a bit irritating.

Unfortunately for my carefully constructed filenames, the uploader doesn't like any of my commas, brackets or apostrophes -- looks like I picked the right week to get the file renaming bit set.  It also produces rather messy upload page code; but I guess that's the kind of thing one has just to deal with, if one is going to use v0.1 software.  I also should have made the 'defaultsort' a bit more cunning within each volume.  But never mind; it's not a bad start, I think.

:::The nice thing about the CIM entries is that the catalogue is fairly tolerant -- you don't usually need all three.  Usually it's enough to specify the <tt>coll</tt> and the <tt>nstart</tt>, the <tt>coll</tt> being fixed for each collection, and the <tt>nstart</tt> being the numerical part of each reference (with the exception of the Royal MSS, which are coded in a fairly straightforward way; and the Cotton MSS, which haven't been done yet.  It's only if you get an MS with lots of different suffices that you really need the <tt>msid</tt> parameter, which I only had one of.

:::Having looked at the Girdwood Collection, I now realise that Photo 21 could have been pointed to the Manuscripts search instead, which would have saved some trouble.  In truth, I haven't really got IOS to work properly either -- my additions to the template unfortunately just give 404s -- so as noted above I will probably just dump people at the search screen instead.  But it's all a start.  [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 01:29, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

== Girdwood photographs ==

I've now begun going through [[:Category:Images released by British Library Images Online]], starting at the back with the 5 Girdwood images now in [[:Category:British Library Photo 21 (India Office Official Record of the Great War)]]

A couple of questions:
* The descriptions in the online catalogue at [http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/indiaofficeselect/PhotoShowDescs.asp?CollID=117 Photo 21/] date each of these to 1915.  But this clearly isn't correct -- for instance the wrecked Zeppelin is from September 1916, and both the tank and the Sopwith Camel weren't introduced until 1917.  So all of the 1915 dates appear questionable (as your Commons Girdwood page suggests).  Are there any good places to look for clues for the correct dates, so I can correct the misleading filenames that I made? 

* What's the copyright status?  Clearly the images are PD in the United States.   But Girdwood was a commercial photographer, and lived until 1964; so one would have thought the images might be still under copyright in the EU until January 1st 2035.  Are there any grounds for thinking they may not be in copyright -- eg that they might be Crown Copyright that has expired?  Or that Girdwood or his heirs and assigns may have sold or given up the copyright?   Just thought I should check.  [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 13:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

::It seems from the "Great War in Stereoviews" site [http://greatwarin3d.org/RealisticTravelsCR.htm] that many of the photographs were issued as "Crown Copyright".  This would make sense if Girdwood was at this time an employee of the Crown, and the images were created as part of his work as an employee.  Crown copyright would (on current rules) have expired after 50 years; i.e. on 1 January 1966 for photographs taken in 1915.

::On the other hand, Google Books turned up one of the 1916 United States copyright registers, which show a number of pictures in that year being registered by Girdwood's company "Realistic Travels".  [http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=FxADAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA305] (pages 305-306 / frames 317-318 of the PDF).  The Australian National Library also turns up a set of views of Palestine, again with copyright registered by Realistic Travels [http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/21021387?versionId=25002440] (now expired under Australian law).

::I suppose it also might be possible that Girdwood was acting as a freelance on commission to the Crown, who was then allowed to license back his own photographs.  If I understand the law correctly in that scenario, the pictures would be subject to copyright for life + 70, ie until 2035; but the copyright would belong to the Crown, so it could be released CC0 if the appropriate department decided to do so.

::I see from your page on Girdwood that there was a lengthy wrangle about copyright which seriously held up the release of his cine films.  But AFAICS you don't record what the outcome was, or what the position was for his still pictures.

::I'm particularly interested in eg the picture of the wrecked Zeppelin, [[:File:Wrecked Zeppelin brought down by our aviators near the coast of Essex (1916) - India Office Official Record of the Great War (1921) - BL Photo 21-108.jpg|India Office frame]] / [[:File:Zeppelin shot down near Colchester (1916) stereopair.jpg|stereopair]], which on the face of it Girdwood would not have needed to be a Crown employee to gain access to.  On the other hand, if he was a Crown employee, on the payroll to produce morale-boosting photographs, this would be just such a photograph.  Is any more known?  [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 20:52, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

:::[[User:Jheald| ]]I think the answer is "Girdwood is really, really, awfully complicated", and it's not helped by a lot of deliberate murkiness around the man and his business. :-)
:::Anything after September 1915 is probably private work not as a government employee - I think they'd more or less sacked him by then. He definitely wanted marketable propaganda pictures, but for the purposes of selling them himself. 
:::I am guessing the confident release of these came from the fact that the album is titled "Official Record", suggesting they're all government photographs. However, even if it was licensed to the India Office at life+70 (I'm a little hazy on whether that would indeed be the case), the responsible body - bizarrely - ''may actually be the British Library'' - they hold the archives. The matter is further complicated by the fact that some of this may have been first published in the US; and by the fact that RT marketed a lot of material taken by other contributors (there's photographs from Gallipoli in their sets, for example) and some of these got attributed to him. For example, the Snipe photo - if actually taken in France in 1918 - is definitely not Girdwood; there's no way they would have allowed him back, and in any case he was probably in America by then. I am tempted to call these de minimis and not look too closely ;-) [[User:Andrew Gray|Andrew Gray]] ([[User talk:Andrew Gray#top|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:11, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

::::Looking closely at the others, the tank photo is strangely familiar (though he could of course have taken an iconic photo!) but either way, I suspect it's not his own work - reason as above. The zeppelin photo could well be his (note the mysterious film in 1916) but it's definitely an "outsider" photo - if you look closely, the photographer is unambiguously on the far side of the security cordon, and being watched carefully by the guards in the foreground. I can't imagine a photographer with official access and authority wouldn't have gone around to the side or shooed them away...

== About to transclude Scotland ==

Warning: I'm about to transclude Scotland and Ireland to separate sub-pages, as just done for Germany and France.  Should improve edit responsiveness. [[User:Jheald|Jheald]] ([[User talk:Jheald|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:22, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

:Good idea. I was actually wondering whether I should suggest something similar :-)
:Linking (and making sure they show up seperately on the to-do list) might be better than transcluding, though - with transclusion, you still need to re-render the full page each time it's edited, which makes for a big delay. [[User:Andrew Gray|Andrew Gray]] ([[User talk:Andrew Gray#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:27, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

::That depends which of the pages you're editing.  If you're editing Scotland, it will only re-render Scotland.  If you're editing England, you're right at the moment it will still have to re-render the whole thing.  But devolution to the English regions is coming!

Transclusions are all in place now.  Hit [[Commons:Village_pump#Weird_transclusion-induced_slow-down|this effect]] though, which just seems weird.  Breaking things up ought to make things ''quicker'', because it should be possible to detect that 90% is unedited, and therefore clean, so ought to be possible just to pull from cache.

== Suggestion for scanning old books ==

Hello Andrew, 
We are on the process of a GLAM project here in Calcutta, India. There are several old books/periodicals need to be digitised. Unfortunately, they are in a pretty bad shape. Can you suggest a good scanner for this kind of project ?
We are very much interested to hear from you about the procedure you have taken.So, if you can share your experience, it would be great.
Thanks,
[[User:Schwiki|Schwiki]] ([[User talk:Schwiki|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:50, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Schwiki}} - sorry about the delay in replying, I've been travelling. Unfortunately I haven't done a great deal of archival digitisation myself and so can't say much about the details. I know that the BL's equipment was very high end (& accordingly expensive!).
:Generally speaking, if you have fragile bound material, you probably want an overhead scanner (a camera held above the item) rather than a standard flat-bed scanner (where you place it face down on the glass). This works better with bound volumes, avoids stressing the spine, and reduces the amount of wear on the paper. It's the approach the large-scale book-scanning projects use.
:I use a small [http://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/peripheral/scanners/scansnap/sv600/ Fujitsu SV-600] at work for scanning journal articles; the software is pretty bad and will only produce PDFs, but the idea is sound and you might be able to find something similar which produces TIFFs or JPEGs.
:An alternative is to build one - an overhead scanner is really not much more complex than a digital camera on a stick plus some software to deskew the pictures. There are some kits to build book scanners yourself and I've heard good things about them (see eg [http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/02/diy-book-scanning-is-easier-than-you-think/ this article]) - if you already have access to suitable cameras and are willing to do some construction work, this might be a good approach.

[[File:Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States - Logo (text under).svg|link=Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States|left|200px]] Hi there! My name is Kevin, one of the organizers of Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States. Last year, you contributed to [[Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2016 in the United States|our 2016 event]]. It was a great success thanks to you and many others, with over 1,700 people contributing over 11,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States. Over 1,000 of these photos now help illustrate Wikipedia articles, making our open knowledge about United States history and heritage all the better.

I'm pleased to say that we're back this year with '''[[Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States|Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States]]''', and I'd like to welcome you to participate once again in the event. Check out [[Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States|our updated event page]] for more information, including updated tips, lists, and prizes. Like last year, you'll be able to upload your new photos of any registered historical site in the United States through the end of September (even if the photos were taken before this month).

Once again, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, and we hope to see you in this year's event! If you'd like to respond to this message directly, please do so on [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kevin_Payravi&action=edit&section=new&preloadtitle=Response%20to%20WLM-US%20inviteon my talk page]. ~[[User:Kevin Payravi|<span style="color:#07517C;font-weight:bold;">Kevin Payravi</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Kevin Payravi|<span style="color:#07517C;">'''talk'''</span>]])</small> 08:05, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Or why not go through your old images to see if you have any others that could be submitted?

Since you've already submitted some pictures to the competition, you might be interested in the banner mini-contest; to take part you crop your images to a 7:1 and upload a new version. You can find out more about how to do that [[Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2017/banners/en|here]]. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the competition and share it with others!

== Wiki Loves Monuments France 2019 ==

Bonjour,

Le concours [[Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in France|Wiki Loves Monuments France]] est de retour et ouvert jusqu'à 31 septembre ! Déjà {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in France|files|R}} photos ont été importés cette année, vous aussi rejoignez le concours !

Le concours concerne tous les monuments présents dans la [[:fr:base Mérimée|base Mérimée]] (qu'ils soient classés, inscrits ou simplement classés). De l'imposant château aux ruines industrielles, de la chapelle au coin de la rue aux mégalithes en forêt, c'est un impressionnant patrimoine qui attend d'être photographié et documenté. Où que vous soyez il y a des monuments autour de chez vous. Enfin, vous pouvez mettre en ligne autant de photos que vous le souhaitez de ces monuments. Pour information, le [https://wikilovesmonuments.fr/reglement/ règlement est disponible sur le site du concours]. Nous attendons vos photos avec impatience !

Les plus belles photos seront sélectionnées par un jury national composé d'amateurs et de professionnels, de contributeurs à Wikimedia Commons et d'acteurs du patrimoine. Un jury international sélectionnera ensuite des meilleures photographies mondiales.

Si vous avez des questions, l'équipe organisatrice se fera un plaisir d'y répondre.

P.S. : vous recevez ce message parce que vous avez participé au concours Wiki Loves Monuments en France les années précédentes. Si vous avez déjà ou si ne pouvez pas participer au concours cette année, faites passer le message autour de vous pour que de nouveaux et nouvelles photographes rejoignent l'aventure !

Bonne journée,

== Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2019! ==

Hi

Thank you so much for contributing to the UK section of this year's [[Wiki Loves Monuments]] contest, which finished yesterday. We really do appreciate the time and effort you've put in to record the UK's built cultural heritage for future generations.  

Your contribution has been been added to our collections here on Wikimedia Commons, and is already available for editors to make use of on Wikipedia and elsewhere. It has also been entered into this year's contest. If you'd like to see your own images, just click on the ''uploads'' link at the top right of this page (if you don't see it, click on the ''Log in'' option first).

We've received over 10,000 UK entries this year, and it will take a few weeks for our volunteers and professional judges to decide on the final top 10. The winners will be announced by the end of this month, both [[Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in the United Kingdom/Winners|here on Wikimedia Commons]] and also on the [https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk competition website]. 

The top 10 UK images will go forward to the international section where they will compete against winners from some 50 other countries. The international winners should be announced [[Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 winners|here]] in December.

Don't forget, by the way, that if you're hoping to win a prize in the contest it's ''essential'' that you have enabled email in your Wikimedia preferences. If you haven't, you're not eligible to win. If you're unsure, please check [[User:MichaelMaggs/EmailEnabled|here]].

Once again, many thanks for your help! [[User:MichaelMaggs|MichaelMaggs]] ([[User talk:MichaelMaggs|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
