Geocoding

The heading parameter tells which direction the camera was pointing at, making it much easier to browse images by location in busy ares, where you can see from the camera heading what the image contains before even seeing the image. It's used on the Google Earth Commons layer with an appropriate icon. There's more explanation and a few more parameters at Commons:Geocoding#Parameters. Thanks for participating! --Para 20:45, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

CANDU Reactor

Hi there - thanks for your pointers on this at QIC. I've done the following:

I am happy to help you with that. I have done a web survey to try to come out with a "unified" CANDU representation. ;-)

Technically speaking, your drawing corresponds to the pressurized heavy water (PHW) cooled version of CANDU. It was the first type developed and is by far the most widely used. I made this clear in the description.

• Added fuel loading machines

OK. Thanks

• Changed the colour of the pressure vessels - you are right, I should have noticed that

I am afraid I am not made my self clear. The zircaloy pressure tubes, filled with nuclear fuel bundles, pass through a tank, namely the calandria, that can be made from conventional stainless steel. Therefore, I am not sure about the green square surrounding the calandria. Is it the calandria itself or its neutron-shielding concrete vault? If it is the calandria, then it should have a different colour from both the pressure tubes and the concrete. (see CANDU6 Reactor Assembly).

I would not draw the neutron-shielding concrete vault in a schematic drawing

• Made the concrete walls a bit thinner and rounded. I think it's still important to have it to show which bits of the reactor are contained. (By the way, is the light water pump inside or outside the containment building. It makes sense for it to be there, so I moved it)

There are numerous concrete walls in a NPP. ;) I agree to draw schematically the main containment building. But I would then suggest to use the standard form for it: a rectangle with a rounded top. (please look at page 11 of the following doc How and Why is CANDU designed the way it is). IMHO, the heavy concretes walls draw the attention out of the main subject of the drawing, namely the nuclear island. A thick black line should be then enough. What do you think?

• Added labels to the steam output and light water input. I kept the symbols too. I don't really want to show the electrcity generation side because surely that is a whole different concept - the layout of the compressors, intercoolers, etc isn't particularly to do with the fact that this is a CANDU reactor.

After reflexion, I agree with you. I will then adapt the legend to make it clearer. I would use the term light water condensate.

• Fixed a blue hairline on the right of the outer heat exchanger pipe.

Haven't see it...

I've put a temporary version up here with these changes. Thanks! ⇒Inductiveload┋τ ∫ϲ┋ 17:33, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

IMHO, one component is still missing although not 100% mandatory: the primary loop pressurizer. It is not always represented by specialists but for an encyclopedia I would add it. It makes more easy to understand why this reactor falls into the "pressurized heavy reactor" category. See here for an example: [1] (bottom left)

What do you think? Alberto Fernandez Fernandez 12:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, ⇒Inductiveload┋τ ∫ϲ┋ 00:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I've done the following:

• Changed the colour of the calandria to purple

OK

• Made the walls thin and given a rounded top (I kept the green colour becuase it doesn't dominate like a thick black line)

It looks great!

• Added the heavy water coolant pressuriser

Excellent.

The file can be found here.

I also noticed in this document that there is a heat exchanger and pump for the moderating heavy water. Do you think I should add that? It doesn't seem to be a part of the reactor that is essential to the mode of operation, but I can see a little space up in the top left I could put it in if you think it is a good idea.

I agree with you. This part is not essential to its mode of operation. IMHO, it is not necessary to add the moderator cooling circuit. It overloads the schematic.

I think the schematic is now complete and looks very professional. Excellent job! Let me know when final version is uploaded. I will update its legend accordingly. Thanks Alberto Fernandez Fernandez 07:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all the help! The picture is now up here. Do you think it would make QI? ⇒Inductiveload┋τ ∫ϲ┋ 22:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

It's now up for QI. I might try to put in the electricity generation side to make a new SVG with everything, and maybe go for FP, but that may have to wait. Thanks again for your help. ⇒Inductiveload┋τ ∫ϲ┋ 14:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Schneeberg geotag

Geotag makes the picture available for Google earth?? --Beyond silence 12:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

It is already the case for geotagged articles of Wikipedia.

Wikipedia + GE: please check Wikipedia on GE and this external blog [2]

You need to install a small extension of GE to do the same with Commons.

Load GeoCommons.kml in Google Earth and start browsing!

More info : Commons + GE: please check Geocommons

Any geotaged article, picture, media,... could be in principle visualized in GE. That's what a Geographic information system is about.

Tools are available to help you easily tagging your images in Commons, without having to alter your EXIF information. (I don't have a GPS yet ;-)).

Moreover, if you use firefox and the add-on "Operator" [3], you also have the possibility to connect your geotagged data to Google maps without leaving your browser. You will be entering the era of Microformats and Semantic web. In short, it is a kind of machine-readable web content.

Be careful Geotagging is very addictive... ;-) You do it once and you will do it for every picture you will upload ;-)) Hope this helps. Alberto Fernandez Fernandez 12:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks --Beyond silence 19:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Your QIC pano

I've had another look at it. You are advancing on that pano hill. See COM:QIC for my comments. -- Slaunger 09:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Not bad. If I feel it will not lead to information loss I usually downsample a little if I have problems with the noise (and I usually have). In your case I actually think you could downsample a little to get rid of some of the niose in the sky without loosing detail and/or use a little selective gaussian blurring (but be careful, set the contrast threshold low and do not go over a pixel radius of 3.0). However, you should not downsample to an extend, where you do not notice the motion blur in the leaves, as that will be too much. Panos can be done without a tripod. For instance I do not own a tripod, the most advanced substitute I have used is a stone. Besides that I think you have a QI, the composition is not breathtaking nor is the sharpness, but good enough I think. But give it a last try to reduce noise (in the sky) and maybe downsample a little. -- Slaunger 13:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Promoted. It you used Hugin, add the Created with Hugin cat. -- Slaunger 14:06, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Frescos

Some of your frescos could easily be FPs except for one thing, they lack contrast. Compare:

A 10 second adjustment to the levels makes a large difference, there's a decent free program called [GIMP] you can do it with. I hate to see such wonderful pictures not realize their full potential. Calibas 02:23, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

If you don't trust your monitor the levels command and the histogram usually give a pretty good idea of the contrast. Calibas 01:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

• - Any sound reason why you changed the name of my picture taken at KHM with some cryptic name without any prior discussion? - I didn't change name of any of your file. See: [4] and [5] as well as [6] (File:The Crowning with Thorns-da Caravaggio (1602).jpg moved to File:The Crowning with Thorns-Caravaggio (1602).jpg - is the renaming of my upload). What I only did, was to correct linkining pages, because: File:Crown of Thorns - Caravaggio - 1602 - KHM.jpg was: "#REDIRECT Image:Michelangelo_Caravaggio_072.jpg" (and the only contributor was "Gryffindor")) with 2 linking pages, both here on Commons and I deleted the redirection page which wasn't used anymore.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Afernand74!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

Political will to change the law in France

Hi ! Actually, Wikimédia France (the French Wikimedia chapter), is currently lobbying to have a Freedom of panorama exception in France. See for instance this article in lemonde.fr by Rémi Mathis. Léna (talk) 14:38, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Une partie le sont (celles dont les architectes sont déjà morts et donc la date de mort est indiquée dans la deletion request) et seront restaurés (voir les catégories).

Pour le fair-use, hum, Wikipédia l'accepte pour le moment pour les bâtiments récents, mais c'est à mon avis une erreur. Le fair-use n'existe pas en droit français, cette exception ne repose actuellement sur rien à part "ça nous embête de respecter la loi ça fait des articles sans illustrations". Je pense qu'il faut aussi ne pas hésiter à demander aux ayants-droits lorsqu'ils sont facilement identifiables, des fois on a de bonnes surprises. Léna (talk) 16:25, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Gustav Klimt

Thanks for the Gustav Klimt pic. One of my favourites. Could you possibly change the filename of the picture that you uploaded to "design" rather than "sketch". No work of art is a "sketch" if it took the artist more than 30 seconds to 10 minutes to do it, depending on the size and medium (i.e. an oil sketch or clay sketch takes longer than a pencil sketch. It is better to use either "drawing", "design" "preparatory study" or "water colour" or some such. Amandajm (talk) 02:22, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

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:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. 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 POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. 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 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 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,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Source information on one of your pictures

Hi, There ist File:Karl-von-Hasenauer-1880-2.jpg where your name is committed as "author". In source we find as origin source "Stadtchronik Wien, Verlag Christian Brandstätter, page 307". Searching after "Stadtchronik Wien" makes clear, that there is no book easily to identify - in fact i didn't found any book, where page 307 corresponds in any way with the given time of 1880. While i don't own this book and can't even find it, i ask you: who was the original artist of this picture - who painted it? Chiron McAnndra (talk) 13:22, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
