Tiga Dara

Bang, mengapa film 3 Dara tidak termuat di artikel tersebut? Apa memang tidak ada kaitannya? Padahal, kalau dilihat dari judulnya, tampaknya ada kaitan di antaranya. Hanamanteo (talk) 05:37, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Di minimis?

TrueHeartSusie3 would like to have a photo of Marilyn Monroe at the Golden Globe Awards. This one was published in a 1960 newspaper (Kenosha, WI) which didn't renew any copyrights. Is too much of the award seen for di minimis? Thanks! We hope (talk) 23:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Happy Canada Day

Any plans for next year's sesquicentennial? - Dank (push to talk) 13:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

        • Canadian National Vimy Memorial is at FAC right now. Though it'd probably be better for the centennial of the battle, which already ran in 1912. Curly Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 03:28, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Chris, I've uploaded this today. What is the general guidance with these studio portraits with the name on the bottom? Show the whole thing, replace with a cropped version or upload and show a cropped version? Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 17:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Category:Articles with film ratings that need to be turned into prose

Hi, you created this category two years ago, I was just wondering if you can remember which templates are supposed to populate it? It's not {{Album ratings}}, and the equivalent film rating templates appear to have been deleted [1][2], though both of them prior to you creating the category. Cheers!

• Hard to tell without knowing the artist.

We're running a little adrift on MilHist again, but after Pentland it would be best to avoid Aussie airmen for a bit as I rather milked this group in July.

Can I see the original of this for comparison? There's some blurry lighter bits, and I'd like to figure out the source of that. It's not really necessary to eliminate the speckling completely when it's consistent, but it needs made consistent. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 00:23, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

      • Sorry to be difficult. Just trying to piece through how to get at this - this sort of image is one of the harder ones to get right, since there's so much white specks, but there's enough good in it that it's certainly worth it. Getting the tool damage fixed is going to be interesting; I have a plan, but it needs the unaltered original (Which I'll be grabbing small parts of to get a bit more material to fill in the blurry parts) and a colour-matched restoration. If that doesn't work, I'll have to try something else. Actually, if you have the colour settings you used on the restoration saved, just apply them to the original; it doesn't matter which direction the colour matching goes. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 05:14, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
        • It is a beautiful low-key piece. Probably one of the better pictures of her I've seen, especially before she became a horror icon. Here's the file.

• Haven't received your email yet, but I think it should be perfectly clear that I think your method of "reviewing" is both against the letter (WP:FP? and spirit of FPC. So long as you keep it to comments, I can keep my peace. But when you oppose nominations with what boils down to "I just don't like it", rather than mentioning actual issues which can be addressed (i.e. disrupt the process), I will say exactly what I think of your "reviewing". In the spirit of "A picture's encyclopedic value (referred to as "EV") is given priority over its artistic value", I have voted for, and even, in the case of paintings, nominated, images which I personally felt were boring. Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket does nothing for me, and yet I nominated it because our scan was clearly "among the best examples of [that] subject that the encyclopedia has to offer". If you want to judge pictures solely on their aesthetic values, then please feel free to go to Commons' featured pictures process; they have a "wow" criteria which we don't, and which you would find quite welcoming.

Now regarding the pictures in question, As NickD said, and I can testify to from my own experiences as a semi-regular visitor of military museums (I think I'm at eight in three countries, but it might be more), military uniforms are central to military museums. Every Indonesian military museum I have visited has had at least one room especially for uniforms (and often another for standards), and the Australian National War Memorial has several in prominent positions. Uniforms, aside from serving a functional purpose, also represent and project the constructed identity of the nations which use them, as well as their priorities at the time the uniforms were used. In these two images we have a uniform on an actual person (rather than a mannequin), in the context of what has unfortunately been the most common battlefield environment for Britain in the 2000s. That the image is posed does not detract from it; rather, it allows the image to only show the uniform, without the eye being distracted by (for instance) a possible enemy combatant or the lines of (ruined?) houses reaching into the distance. The images are thus, in other words, perhaps the best encyclopedic tools to depict what they set out to depict. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:35, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 8, 2016

My past questions to music wikiprojects haven't gotten responses, and I don't have anyone to ask questions for this one. It was promoted in 2007, and the nominator is long gone. The lead says: "the band's second highest U.S. chart position to date". Below the lead: "this ranked as the band's highest chart position to date". The lead says: "Lyrics, particularly in the song "Jihad", describe the September 11 attacks from a terrorist perspective. A Mumbai-based Christian group, the Catholic Secular Forum, was outraged by this and thus demanded a recall." Below the lead, the concern was for "the sensibilities of the Muslims...and secular Indians ...". Thoughts? I'm not sure I can write TFA text for this one that I have confidence in. - Dank (push to talk) 03:09, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

PD question

We're presently working on Club Harlem and would like to use some photos of the club from old newspapers. The Pittsburgh Courier is a now defunct African-American newspaper; the photos in question were published in it in 1964. I've been through the entire paper and haven't found any copyright marks, nor any record of registration for the title in the UPenn books. It makes sense to me that smaller newspapers probably didn't spend the money to register their editions, as that would mean 365 copyright fees for one year alone for a daily and 52 for a weekly one. The club closed in 1986 with the building being torn down circa 1992-1933 after storm damage. Everything else I've seen re: photos of the club are more recent than 1964 and are under copyright, so was hoping this might work out as PD-pre 1978 with no copyright mark. Thanks!!

On Poedjangga Baroe, HB Jassin and other matters

Hi Crisco, it's me again. Since our last conversation I has translated numerous pieces on Indonesian cinema, politics, and recently literature in Chinese Wikipedia; (though some nominations is affected by worsening environment of Chinese Wikipedia, but nonetheless they passed.) But again I would like to raise some questions I found during my works:

1. What's shown in the article Poedjangga Baroe and a book I borrowed from a public library contradicts. In the article it states that Moh. Yamin's Ken Arok dan Ken Dedes is first published on 'Poedjangga Baroe', when the book states that the play is first acted on a gala for the Youth Congress in 1928. Though there may be possibilities that the written work is first published publicly on 'Poedjangga Baroe'.
2. I have an intent to translate the article HB Jassin. The article cited Tokohindonesia.com as one of its sources, but I doubt whether it's a reputable source to cite. (One of another Indonesian article I intend to write faced the same problem.)
3. Also I would like to ask if you can access to older issues of The Jakarta Post or Tempo, regarding my quest on id:Pembicaraan Wikipedia:Kedutaan. You can ignore it if you mind.

Best wishes, --Spring Roll Conan ( Talk · Contributions ) 11:07, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

1. . Not a contradiction. The first publication of the script followed well after the performance. Publishing scripts was relatively uncommon then (Allah jang Palsoe lists some examples of near-contemporary Chinese-Indonesian scripts, and notes the point). Even some relatively major plays, like Dr. Samsi, appear to have only been published several years later (1930 vs. 1950s, for Dr. Samsi).
2. Agree. I would not cite those today (that article is from... almost four years ago, I think). I have several books on Jassin that I've been meaning to use to write a proper article, but I haven't had the opportunity.
3. Tempo has a (relatively hard to use) online archive, but it's pay per article. I have some money left in my Tempo account if there are any specific articles you're looking for. The Jakarta Post has articles online dating back to 1999, but nothing earlier. I think you'd have to actually go to their offices to use their digital archives (as with Kompas), assuming they've digitized. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:41, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Quick image question

I'd like to get Eugene Kaspersky to donate some of his photography to Wikimedia Commons under a free license. His photos are of professional quality and many are of significant landmarks.

FAC voluntary mentoring scheme

During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.

Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton (talk) 16:56, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Swap POTD for Sept 6 and Sept 9

Hi Crisco 1492,

I am on a mobile device and cannot easily edit from here...

I just realized that the current Sept 9 POTD og Viborg Karedralskole has the wrong date to properly match the birthday of the architect (Sept 6), which is referred to in the caption.

Could it be swapped with the bird sept 6 POTD on short notice? The bird pic by JJ Harrison does not appear to be linked with a specific date.

Sorry for the hazzle! Maybe it is I who originally requested a wrong date for the POTD appearance.

TFA text

Thanks again for great selections in August, it makes the job of writing interesting TFA text so much easier.

I can save you a little work, and it will work out better for me as well ... I'd rather you just copy the leads straight into TFA without fixing various wording problems in the first sentence. It sometimes confuses me when you do that ... for instance, at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 29, 2016 and Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 3, 2016, the first sentence threw me a little. - Dank (push to talk) 12:45, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

  • I appreciate you putting in the effort, and there wasn't anything wrong with your version. It's just that my copyediting is, in part, a negotiation ... the writer(s) wants to say things a certain way, and I try to give them as much rope as I can. If I'm not looking at the words they used (and if I'm not aware of that), it changes the process. - Dank (push to talk) 16:08, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

Extended confirmed protection

Hello, Crisco 1492. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

Today's featured picture

Hi! For a special setup like today's, please make sure that the relevant images are protected manually (at Commons or via local uploads) or listed at WP:CMP. Otherwise, KrinkleBot will protect only one file at a time. (It's been switching back and forth between the two all day.)

I just protected both of today's images at Commons.

Thanks! —David Levy 11:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

• Ah. Thanks for the heads up. Do you have the bit on Commons? It would probably be easier for me to contact you in such instances. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:36, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

  Yes, feel free to contact me whenever protection of a Commons file is needed. —David Levy 21:23, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Battle of Hastings TFA request 14 October

There may be a problem with this request, as an editor has invoked WP:DRN over a content dispute that has blown up on the article's talk. I imagine that you'll be wanting to schedule this date pretty soon; in that case, it may be worth using a placeholder for 14th until the dispute is resolved. If you need a standby, I'd be happy for you to use The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold, though you may have a better option. Brianboulton (talk) 10:44, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks for the heads up. Would be nice to have another literature article, so it's a good placeholder! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:48, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

    • He's in a daycare now, so he has friends to play with during the weekdays. Growing really quickly. I think he's already 35 inches in height. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:37, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
      • That's big. - Dank (push to talk) 01:39, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Royal Albert Hall

I'm not sure I agree with you that the square crop is a "much better view". The greater vertical height is higher than one's eyesight would normally offer (you'd have to look up) and starts causing perspective distortion (the discs appear to face the viewer, rather than the floor). It does show more of the arena, but unfortunately there's a lot of stage-construction material there, which might be confusing for a lead image -- it isn't immediately clear that this view isn't typical for an audience, but is taken long before a performance is ready.

Combined with Diliff's outside view, I think the 16:9 format is better in that it doesn't steal even more vertical height in the infobox. Two images are already unusual, so having an extra large one might encourage some people to simply remove it.

I added a view lower down the article that shows the ceiling. So this makes it much less useful to show so much of the ceiling in the lead photo.

-- Colin°^Talk 09:04, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

• Fair enough. I do prefer having the greater field of view, personally, but your points are well taken. I'll self revert — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:13, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Indonesian Wikipedia help needed

Hello, there is a photo uploaded on Indonesian Wikipedia here that was stolen from this website here. You will note that his photo was deleted on the English Wikipedia here. The problem is that I am not sure how to delete a File on Indonesian Wikipedia and can't understand the language. Would you mind directing me? Thanks! — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 01:15, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• User:Sunnya343, I see that it was deleted, by I'm almost certain that it wasn't from the website you're linking. That page was posted in 2015, whereas the Indonesian Wikipedia image was uploaded in 2014. Considering the laissez faire attitude a lot of the Indonesian Wikipedia editors have towards copyright, I'd need more of a smoking gun than "low resolution, no EXIF data". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:40, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
  • My apologies, actually I think the image was stolen from an aviation photographer's Flickr account here. The photo was taken in April 2013. — Sunnya343✈ (háblame • my work) 01:55, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
    • Yep, that's it. I'll nominate the Indonesian image for deletion. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:57, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Do you think ... ?

Hi Chris, Relly Komaruzaman is in the category of Indonesian editors and I wonder if you might consider or think it worthwhile to explain or warn in Indonesian about edit warring, talk page consensus etc? They have been warned on their talk page about their edits on Maddie Ziegler and seem set to continue. I'm wondering if it's a language problem especially as they've left what [to me anyway] is a rather bizarre message on my talk page of "Women cause wars, that is the reason why we do edit-warring"? I know you're busy though. SagaciousPhil - Chat 08:12, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• Ugh, infoboxes. Okay, I've left a message. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:14, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks ... in this instance I was more concerned it was a language difficulty rather than the subject matter. I wasn't trying to drag you into the cesspit as I wouldn't wish it on anyone but yes, I know, sorry. SagaciousPhil - Chat 11:31, 5 October 2016 (UTC) I see the baby is growing up fast and keeping you busy; he's so cute!

• Language difficulty: cold you please explain what "cesspit" means, and - once I'm here - "bardardise an article"? - I do understand idiot because we have the same word (which I won't use unless for myself). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:39, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• Gerda, you're a great editor, but considering the number of editors we've lost in the past year alone to infobox drama, I'd rather we avoid the subject here. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:16, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• I will look up then what a cesspit is, just a word I don't know. I still miss GFHandel, on top of recent losses, whom we lost to an infobox discussion in 2013 - Why a thing that looks harmless to me causes so much emotion remains a mystery to me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:40, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

10,000 Asia Challenge

Hi, I wondered if you'd be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge? The idea is to showcase the work being done on wikipedia across the continent, and inspire more people to create and work on countries which might not usually get much attention (like Iraq and Turkmenistan etc) and then possibly running some contests to bring in new editors. Could be a way to highlight work needing doing for Indonesia and draw in new editors! Or perhaps set up a 1000 Challenge for South East Asia feeding into it? Not sure, but if interested add your name to the participants and I'll consider setting something up later in the month.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:19, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Gadis Arivia

On 9 October 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gadis Arivia, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Gadis Arivia established Indonesia’s first journal of feminist theory? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gadis Arivia. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Gadis Arivia), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Template:Did you know nominations/Élizabeth Teissier

I am SERIOUSLY growing tired of this 4-month HELL of a DYK nom. Can it just get on the fucking main page already, without constant objections to everything? The latest one? An objection to sources being in French - WHICH ISN'T EVEN A VALID OBJECTION. If you can't read French, you AGF or fire up Google Translate. You don't reject it on that ground. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:37, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Chris, this isn't an objection to the nomination, which I've been trying to get moved along, but it's a question about the image in the article, File:Elizabeth Teissier.jpg. There's something that's off about this image. It might be the angle of the face against the hair, that the face and arm seem brighter than the rest, or something else entirely. (It was enough so that when the photo was introduced on the nominations page very late in the game, I objected to its addition.) The file is on Commons, and has an OTRS permission, but I'm wondering how an image uploaded by the subject—which certainly has the look of a professional portrait rather than a self-portrait—can be licensed for free use by said subject. (Though it could well be the photographer who has released the rights to the image.) If this is a photoshopped portrait, is it acceptable for Wikipedia? What is the policy? Or am I just seeing things here? Thanks for your opinion. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:02, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

• It looks like she claims to hold the copyright over the image (ayant-droit means "rights holder"). If that was sufficient for OTRS (pinging Bapti, who appears to have handled the OTRS request and may be able to shed more light on the image), then it's sufficient for me. As for the manipulation: the image has obviously been manipulated to remove the background (her hair has a fuzzy grey line around it) and the lack of skill in doing so makes me doubt that her head was superimposed over her body. Her arm is of about the same brightness as her face, which suggests that a rather strong flash was used. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 06:11, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

• Chris, thanks for looking into it. It was the angle and the difference in foreground hair vs. background hair that still, to me, looks off, but that could be caused by other, natural things as you note. I don't think it would make a good DYK lead hook with that image, even if the file is freely released, and that assumes that the DYK eventually gets approved. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:29, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

• Chris, someone just posted this link on the article talk page to another use of this same picture, this time with a filled-in background, and dating from September 2005. (It looked photoshopped to this person as well.) BlueMoonset (talk) 05:51, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 27, 2016‎

The article might be okay if it's had a lot of independent review, but FWIW, the nominator was blocked as a very prolific, and badly behaved, sockmaster. At first glance, it's not an impressive article. - Dank (push to talk) 19:04, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

• (talk page watcher) EEng works at Harvard and might know something about this guy. (Personally, I'd be inclined to do as we did with ItsLassieTime and automatically send everything ColonelHenry wrote to FAR with a presumption that it will be delisted unless other people come forward to defend it—this did happen at at least one ILT article so delisting isn't a foregone conclusion.) ‑ Iridescent 10:02, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

You rang? I'm not sure how I can help. He's notable, but you don't need me to tell you that. I don't work for Harvard, by the way (though to maintain the air of mystery I'll admit that I sometimes work at Harvard). EEng 11:34, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

One problem is that Caspersen died in 2009, and I don't know if the estate (i.e. the legal proceeding that resolves his financial affairs) is over yet; if it's not, then we've got gray-area BLP issues to consider. Another problem is discussed in one of the article's sources (search for the guy's name); the inflammatory claims are made based on a single reporter's story, based on a single anonymous source, and that source has been contradicted. Another problem is the suicide: it's unfair to paint such a vague picture, implying that it might have been a psychiatric problem, or it might have been out of desperation over financial improprieties ... or maybe it was just like he said in his suicide note (he was a 67 year old man in constant pain from cancer and other conditions, with no sign that things would ever improve). Eventually, there will probably be better sources available to settle some of these questions. - Dank (push to talk) 11:35, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

An open estate won't prolong BLP. EEng 11:39, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

That's what I mean by "gray area". Some of the same reasoning that drives BLP policy could be said to apply ... that is, the possibility of great harm still exists as long as everything a person owned is still at risk. - Dank (push to talk) 11:42, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

• Sorry I'm late to the discussion... I recused from coord duties to copyedit/review this when it was at FAC, and have kept it on my watchlist, occasionally reverting vandalism and significant undiscussed changes. I felt it was as neutrally worded as could be expected by the time it was promoted but I didn't conduct a spotcheck of sources. I ran Earwig on it not long ago and the major instance of close comparison seemed to mainly involve properly marked quotes from the source, so unless I missed something I don't think it's necessarily a risk but I welcome other thoughts.

Dartford Crossing

In all likelihood you will want no part of this, but if you somehow have a few hours on your hands, your name's come up a few times in relation to what significance your prior GA review holds here, given my identification of what I think are several pretty serious issues (at least one of which you seemed to spot yourself - why Charges is above History). As soon as I tried to fix them, I was reverted, on grounds this article "can't have that many problems as it is a good article and undergoing an A-Class review, and certainly nobody else has identified any significant problems with it." I feel like I am being rebuffed by this person, the main author, Ritchie333, simply for reasons of pride and/or personal preference, and that no real effort is being made by anyone, not him or those now coming to his defence, to counter my observations, even though my reasoning stems from objective evidence, fundamental good practice and what appears to be standard practice on Wikipedia. Everything I have seen in terms of actual Wikipedia documentation here has supported my view, while Ritchie seems to think he merely has to point to a page like 5P and somehow it represents support for his view. Bizarrely, my efforts to precisely detail my reasoning so others know exactly where I am coming from so they might know where my errors are, if I have made any, has also been used against me, with it being waved away dismissively as TL;DR by both Ritchie and the person who first turned up to blindly agree with everything he said (and is presently engaged in combined opposition with Ritchie against people actively trying to fix the article over another issue, which I have taken on too now, in the lower section). As Ritchie referred to in the review at the time, I think this article is probably no longer a Good Article simply by virtue of how many times he and others seem to be automatically reverting people like me, just to preserve his preferred version, while counter-intuitively claiming it's perfectly fine and nobody has any issues with it. Clearly they do, otherwise it wouldn't now be unstable, and he wouldn't have had to take the step of protecting it, an issue I've also detailed on the talk page. He's clearly trying to brush issues under the carpet, or send them down blind alleys, such as his suggestion I use the talk page or file a dispute complaint (which appears to be nothing but a bureaucratic clusterfuck), knowing full well these issues don't really interest other people to the point they're going to go against him or his apparent reputation as a respected user. Hopefully none of this conduct sits well with you, if you're the sort of person who takes on tasks like reviews with the aim of objectively assessing quality here, and hopefully you can set the record straight as far as the merits, or otherwise, of my observations, without bias or any deference to the fact he wrote most of it and I simply rocked up here off the street, as he put it. Or reconfirm your review finding that this is still a Good Article. As you wish. Clarion Collar (talk) 02:10, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:31, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Chris and Brian, I've got proposed articles for the rest of the month at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/recent TFAs/November 2016. Would love to hear your thoughts. I really like date connections and wanted to stay as close to the average monthly tallies (I've updated that chart for Nov btw) as possible; given those two constraints, my hands were mostly tied. The list is slightly US-heavy, but we can balance that out in December or January. I had to pull my suggested article for the 26th, the FAC nommer says it isn't ready ... any suggestions for that date? My tally for the month shows I'm slightly short on sports; also, art & architecture and physics & astronomy haven't gotten much love lately. After I get your feedback, I'll update WP:FADC and WP:FANDC. Bencherlite has offered to help with housekeeping this month; Bench, would you like to update Brian's notepad? Note that I'm slightly over on Media and slightly under on Music, which more or less cancels out I suppose, since many readers won't notice the difference. Also note that I have quite a few very old featured articles (perhaps the result of more slavishly following date connections), but I also tend to rely heavily on articles from the past couple of years when I run out of date connections, so there's a mix of both. - Dank (push to talk) 23:31, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

• Looks pretty good. For the 26th, why not have a painting? Warlugong could work; helps address the US-centricity of some of the other selections.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:38, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm asking because the top two people who come to mind both have limited time, and maybe limited inclination, too ... it might be easier to get one of them on board if they're only scheduling one month out of three.) - Dank (push to talk) 03:30, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Indonesia

The section Cinema in article Indonesia has a dead link, and I find out that it is the same as a previous reference, and I checked it but it fails verification since the films and actors in the paragraph are not found in the source. Here is the paragraph:

The industry reached its peak in the 1980s, with such successful films as Nagabonar (1987) and Catatan Si Boy (1989). Warkop's comedy films, directed by Arizal also proved to be successful. The industry has also found appeal among teens with such fare as Pintar-pintar Bodoh (1982), and Maju Kena Mundur Kena (1984). Actors during this era included Deddy Mizwar, Eva Arnaz, Meriam Bellina, and Rano Karno.

Previously the reference is just a bare link with text Kompas. The text is also found in article Cinema of Indonesia#1980s (the reference is footnote 33). Can you help to find a source? Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 09:48, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

• How is it a dead link? The archive link (the one that reads https://web.archive.org/web/20080113052204/http://www.kompas.com/kompas-cetak/0507/02/Bentara/1857854.htm) still works. Kompas's website purges old articles every once in a while; there's no chance of finding a 2005 article on the current site.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:29, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

It was previously a dead link, then I found the archive and add it to the article, then I found that ref 233 is exactly the same. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 15:23, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

• Ah, sorry. I misread your post. None of this is incorrect, but I don't think I have any sources at hand that state everything in a single source. Production (in terms of numbers) peaked around 88/89 (as seen here, derived from Kristanto's catalogue). Nagabonar was a critical hit, receiving seven Citras (source), and four films in the Catatan Si Boy series were among the best-selling in the Jakarta area (source). Warkop's films were mostly commercial successes (hence why there are so many), including the two mentioned in that list source). Frankly, if I had access to Krishna Sen's book on cinema in New Order Indonesia, I'd try to write a much better section on situation of cinema in 1980s Indonesia. There's so much that the current article is lacking, such as the rise of the 21 network and the cineplex model, the issue of censorship, and the rise of home media (Betamax, VCD, etc.)  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Joanna Clapps Herman

Hey there, I am interested in rewriting an article for writer Joanna Clapps Herman that I worked on several years ago. I now have much more experience as a Wiki editor and would like to take another chance. I know she was previously deleted for being deemed as not notable, but I have additional third-party articles and other accomplishments that I did not include before. I fear many Italian American writers are deemed not notable due to the history of Italian Americans in the US. I'm much more aware of Wiki's notability guidelines and I would like another chance.

Baton over to you

I've scheduled November, and I worked on a bunch of files, including Dweller's list, WP:TFANO, and your and Brian's list of monthly tallies of scheduled TFAs by category, which is now at User:Dank/TFA (but feel free to move it). I converted some of the tallies to totals for readability. I didn't work on WP:FA2016; that page hasn't been updated consistently, and it may not be as useful as the FACBot-generated WP:FANMP. I didn't use your and Brian's notepad (although the extra details are nice) ... personally, I would be happier with two new FACBot-generated pages; one would start with WP:FANMP, and stop alphabetizing the results and add year markers (so that articles are sorted by category and year); the other would take it one step further, subtracting every article it finds in WP:FADC. I updated WP:TFAP, filled in WP:TFAREC, and deleted the articles I used from WP:FADC and WP:FANDC. I didn't add to those two; I'm wondering what rules we should use for the first, and wondering if we can automate the second. User:Hawkeye7's work on FACBot to automate the recentlists is ongoing; it always gets the articles right, which is a big help, but it still futzes the styling and some of the article names. Art LaPella has been diligently fixing them. I'm mostly done with the TFA text, with help from Johnboddie. I will probably replace the article on the Vietnamese general, unless people can locate sources for that. Over to you. - Dank (push to talk) 15:16, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey Cris,

Hope you doing good.

Am here for a reason. I have noticed that, some of my clicks which became FP's of wikipedia has been removed by somebody from the articles and added new ones. I undid the same saying that, while replacing FP, discuss the same though I have no idea about the process of discussion.

A new user right for New Page Patrollers

Hi Crisco 1492.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help

Hi Crisco 1492,

As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).

Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.

Although New Page Reviewing can occasionally be somewhat more challenging than AfC, the criteria for obtaining the right are roughly the same. The Page Curation tool is even easier to use than the Helper Script, so it's likely that most AfC reviewers already have more than enough knowledge for the task of New Page Review.

It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at WP:PERM and lend a hand. You'll need to have read the page at WP:NPR and the new tutorial.

Painting by Charles Christian Nahl

Hello, Chris -- I was just looking at the article Isthmus of Panama, and a painting by Charles Christian Nahl caught my attention, so I clicked on the image to read more. I then read the article about the painter. I saw the same painting in the gallery of the article on Nahl, but the caption was different.

The caption of the painting in the article Isthmus of Panama is:

• An 1850 oil painting by Charles Christian Nahl, titled, The Isthmus of Panama on the height of the Chagres River.

The caption of the painting in the gallery in the article on Charles Christian Nahl is:

• Incident on the Chagres River (1850), now in the Bancroft Library,

which matches the title below the image, but when you click on "More details", you see the file name, which is in German:

• Der Isthmus von Panama auf der Höhe des Chagres River.

It looks like the title in the first caption is an attempt at a translation from the German. It also seems like the painting has two different names. Would you say that one is wrong and the other is right (the German, and its translation), or that both are correct? It's a bit odd.  – Corinne (talk) 03:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

TFA scheduling

Usually I am happy with your scheduling, as especially with the Lt. nominated yesterday and scheduled today, but Annunciation (Memling) on December 22 will get Errors, because the day is 25 March. That won't work in 2017, though, because it's Good Friday, but probably in 2018. Even people not knowing about the March date for Annunciation will complain that pregnancy takes more than a few days ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:37, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

I agree with Gerda here; while I'm not generally a great fan of "date connections" at TFA, the Annunciation is so tied to Lady Day that running it during Advent is akin to running Independence Day (United States) in September. Plus, with Migration of the Serbs and Vincent van Gogh already running this month and assuming Hope is scheduled for next month, that will be a very high burn-off rate for visual arts, especially since Victoriaearle is no longer active so the stock is no longer being replenished at the same rate. ‑ Iridescent 09:00, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Asking here: Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Hebron Church (Intermont, West Virginia) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:04, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

I'd go with that, as it's quite appropriate to feature a Christianity-related article at this time of year and I don't think we've had anything WVa related for a while (although it's still going to deplete the shrinking pool at WP:FANMP#Art, architecture, and archaeology, since as far as your categories are concerned paintings and buildings are the same thing). ‑ Iridescent 16:42, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Music-making angels wanted

My Christmas gift 2016 is supposed to be a carol, requesting angels to come with instruments to play for the babe and for peace. I thought angelic concertos would be frequently pictured but couldn't find anything on the commons showing - 17th century German preferred - angels coming from heaven with instruments. The closest I found is Spanish, and too many donors, too few musicians, ignoring that coronation of Mary was no Lutheran idea, and what looks like a trumpet is an incense burner. Grown-up angels would be better. - I like the blue sky! Help? - I come here because of the lead of Christmas Oratorio, - also wrong date and style ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:07, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Is File:Jan van Eyck - The Ghent Altarpiece - Angels Playing Music (detail) - WGA07646.jpg from the Ghent Altarpiece what you're looking for, or is that going to be too early? ‑ Iridescent 20:16, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Otherwise Ribalta's Madonna and Child with Music-Making Angels (not on Commons but in the PD and currently in the UK so can legally be downloaded from ArtUK) or the Master of Frankfurt's Holy Family with Music-Making Angels might fit the bill. If you just want angels with trumpets, rather than specifically nativities, you have endless examples in the works of Edward Burne-Jones and Evelyn de Morgan. ‑ Iridescent 20:22, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestions. The van Eyck is too precious, - we talk a poor stable, and Thirty Years War, + they don't play, but rather pose or reflect, + no Heaven. The Ribalta is also not open to the sky, - will take the Master of Frankfurt for now, in addition. Will keep looking at the last ones. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Chairil Anwar Pelopor Angkatan '45 p 48.jpg

Where you being cautious here? Surely a 1945 image would have reasonably expired by now? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:34, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

• Because Indonesia's copyright is based on publication. Until I get an earlier publication (it's my understanding that Pelopor Angkatan '45 came out in the 1950s), I don't dare go to Commons. The images in Jassin's books appear to have changed from edition to edition; his 1962 version of Kesusastraan Indonesia Modern dalam Kritik dan Essai had some different images than the 1950s edition. We do have multiple images of the poet on Commons from other, earlier books, but none are the same as this one. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:27, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Medan Prijaji (volume 4 issue 25).pdf

Being cautious? This looks on the basis of the editors death date to be PD in the US (as indicated). Was there a reason this and other issues couldn't be moved to Commons, so the relevant Wikisource could transcribe? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:43, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

• It's my understanding that, for magazines, the authors of the individual articles are assumed to maintain copyright; several Sundanese-language magazines on Commons were deleted this past summer for a similar reason. I may be wrong, however. That being said, I seem to remember that Wikisource only cares about the American copyright. If that's the case, a lot of the books I have uploaded might be able to be moved over there. I'll try asking in the WA group for WMID.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:30, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Being cautious and using publication date? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:10, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

• Yep. As I mentioned above, as Indonesia's photograph copyright terms are publication-based (well, government publications without a copyright notice can be freely reproduced), I don't upload old photographs to Commons unless I have actually have seen them in a publication that predates the cut-off point. Most photographs I scan end up on Commons, however. I focus on scanning works from the 1950s and earlier.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:35, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Can you help?

I was referred to you from someone else who looked at this image and thought you might be able to help. Julia Tevis. I want the image for my new article on Julia A. Tevis Bond disappeared in 1864 and was born circa 1826; Filson Historical Society has had the painting since 1974. [10], [11]. This claims the painting is in the public domain. [12] It probably dates from 1860 because Bush made 2 trips to Louisville 1860 and 1864 and John Tevis died in 1861. BUT on top of that, an engraving of a "recent portrait" of Julia was published in a Nashville paper in 1861.[13] But of course, all that is circumstantial. I did find one other image of her, but I cannot find a bigger copy, nor the original source to do any searching on the age, maker, etc. [14] I am unsure if the painting could be used as fair use, if it cannot be uploaded to commons and totally unsure if the other image would even be viewable in such a small size. Thank you for any help you might be able to give. SusunW (talk) 22:58, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

She Shoulda Said No! images - tomorrow's TFA issue (for you or a stalker)

If you get a chance, can you look at She Shoulda Said No! and check the fair-use rationales? Two of the images were wrongly transferred to Commons as public domain, so I've undeleted and reverted to the early 2008 versions of our local images, but the rationales ought to be looked at, and that's not my field. If anyone reading this can get to this before Crisco, that would be great too. Thanks. Bencherlite^Talk 12:53, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

User:Bencherlite OK-I checked the copyright books at UPenn in both film and artwork for the years 1976 & 1977 (would be renewal time). I found nothing for either She Said No or Hygenic Productions, the film maker. They would be PD as copyright not renewed. I can take care of this at Commons, where the files are up for deletion, if this would be better. The problem here is that someone tagged them as PD but didn't do the necessary work to change furs, etc. I can't see a full copy of either to prove "no copyright marks", but I can prove non-renewal. We hope (talk) 14:24, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Let me do the Commons images because they're larger-will post here after I have that done. Then you can withdraw your DRs for them and use the larger images in the article. We hope (talk) 14:34, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Not my deletion nominations, actually... But once you're happy that the Commons images are up to scratch, we can relink to them in the article and I can delete the local smaller versions (and I can then oppose deletion at Commons for the two images). Bencherlite^Talk 14:50, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2017-02-04. —howcheng {chat} 09:37, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Susan B. Anthony dollar

If I remember right, Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Susan B. Anthony dollar looks like the article was shown in 2015 but wasn't. I think the lady's day of death in March (women's month), 13 March, might be a good day. What should I do? Request 2? Modify this one? What else? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:04, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Rossa Matilda Richter

Chris, this nomination seems to be stalled over questions about its image. Can you please take a look and see whether you can help get it moving again? Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:36, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

• BlueMoonset, looks like We hope got it. Sorry for the late response. I was in Bukittinggi for most of last week and spent most of my time out and about.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:04, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Uploads

I used to upload both front & back of photos and after that, the cropped, etc. image. Using Wayback Machine for archiving made things a bit easier and let me work a bit faster. Would you think I need to go back to that plus the archived links? Thanks! :-D We hope (talk) 03:53, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

• I'd say yes, just in case Wayback Machine ends up going wonky on us. I know they are finalists in a competition for a 100 million dollar grant, but still... nobody knows what the future may bring.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:03, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

As of now, I'll go back to the old way. Know Wayback intends on creating a copy of everything on Canadian servers due to their concern over the current US administration. I have literally hundreds of PD images archived that need to be uploaded here-photos. posters & lobby cards. Thanks! :-D We hope (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

• It is quite a bit of uploading. Daunting, really. I've been too busy with my PhD thesis recently to even consider that much editing.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:21, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Glad to hear that it's just being busy that's kept you away. ;) There's a question about this painting re: PD:

• File:Julia A. Tevis.jpg

I'm on the fence about it because it's hard to pin down when the painting really was available to the public. Would you take a look when you can? (I can always take the easy way and do lots of posters & lobby cards for a long time.) Thanks again! We hope (talk) 04:31, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

• I say lean on the opinion of the Aetheneum. Bond was apparently born circa 1825, so it is certainly most likely that his works are PD.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 06:29, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Rossa Matilda Richter redux

Chris, I pinged you about this a while ago, and the immediate issue, about the photo's provenance and copyright status, seemed to have been addressed as you noted then. However, Harrias, who had originally approved the nomination only without the photo due to said status (but later changed the tick to a question mark to prevent the nomination's premature promotion while the image issue was being discussed), has not returned to the review, even after being pinged. I was wondering whether you could officially rule there on the photo and, if appropriate, issue a tick so this can finally be settled. Thanks for anything you can do. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:52, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

• Looks like Harrias got it.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:58, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

What kind of image?

Hello, Chris - I am in the middle of copy-editing Dire wolf, and in the article is this image:

I'd like to add a word or two to the current caption that indicates what kind of work this is. Can you tell me what it is? A drawing? An etching? A lithograph?  – Corinne (talk) 15:21, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

• Adam Cuerden is more familiar with this stuff. Maybe "A smilodon and a dire wolf fighting over a kill, illustrated by Robert Bruce Horsfall" — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:00, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! Sounds good.  – Corinne (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Question on a link

User:Brandmeister reverted an edit of mine at TFA and has made the same edit in the article you nominated, here. His edit summary says: "ethnic Chinese commonly refers to Han Chinese and per wp:egg it's unclear why an ethnic Chinese would write in Indonesian". Thoughts? - Dank (push to talk) 16:00, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

"Ethnic Chinese" is a correct redirect to Han Chinese and from what I see Chinese Indonesians are not the same due to mixed ancestry. Just call a cat a cat, methinks. Brandmeister^talk 16:21, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

• Dank and Brandmeister: Calling Kwee a Chinese Indonesian would imply that there was an Indonesia. In the compound Chinese Indonesian, Chinese refers to an ethnicity or heritage while Indonesian refers to a nation; one of these elements did not exist in 1917.

I also point out that both the Chinese Indonesian and Overseas Chinese articles are careful to note that the terms can refer to Hans and non-Hans, linking to Zhonghua minzu and List of ethnic groups in China respectively. There is no distinct term for non-Han Chinese in Indonesia, at least in English.

Also, a somewhat pedantic note: Kwee wasn't writing in Indonesian. This is not just a matter of naming; the Malay used by Kwee and other ethnic Chinese writers was vernacular Malay, whereas standard Indonesian is based on high or court Malay.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:50, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

As to whether or not Kwee would be considered Chinese, there's historical basis for saying "it depends on who's doing the judging". The ethnic Chinese in what is now Indonesia have frequently not been considered Indonesian by Indonesians (see "Loyalty in Question" for some background reading), nor have they been considered Chinese by the mainland Chinese (our article, sadly, only mentions that "an estimated 60,000 ethnic Chinese students left for the People's Republic of China in the 1950s and early 1960s", without noting that many of these people were not considered Chinese). The identity issue was and remains a hot button topic.

If push comes to shove, we can try using something like "of Chinese descent". However, working that into the first sentence would be a doozy. It's not really something we can drop from the lead, either, as Kwee's Chineseness informs both the plot and the reception.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Your revert works for me. - Dank (push to talk) 17:18, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Thoughts about changing "1919 stage drama" to "1919 Javanese stage drama"? - Dank (push to talk) 17:24, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

• Dank: Javan refers to the island. Javanese would refer to the Javanese people or the Javanese language, neither of which is applicable. It doesn't even work for the setting; Kwee's play was set in a majority Sundanese area. I'll try and add "Dutch East Indies" to the blurb.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:09, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Looks great, thanks. - Dank (push to talk) 02:22, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

• Okay. A bit clunky, but it does help clarify why Malay was the language used.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:24, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Mohon bantuan

Hallo, Mas Crisco. Jika berkenan saya mohon bantuan memeriksa foto-foto yang saya unggah di commons. Sebab kalau tak salah ada dua foto yang bersumber dari luar saya. Yang satunya dari Perpustakaan Nasional Republik Indonesia untuk foto artikel Aloysius Slamet Widodo (file:Aloysius Slamet Widodo.jpg). Yang satunya lagi adalah dokumentasi keluarga sastrawan Piek Ardijanto Soeprijadi (file:Piek Ardijanto Soeprijadi.jpg). Apabila unggahan saya itu tidak sesuai dengan aturan commons, bagaimana seharusnya yang saya lakukan. Untuk foto yang berasal dari dokumentasi keluarga itu saya harus menerima surat izin dari keluarga mereka atau bagaimana. Terima kasih atas bantuan Anda. Salam. Igho (talk) 13:00, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

• Salam, Igho. Untuk foto Aloysius Slamet Widodo, itu merupakan pelanggaran UU HC karena situs Perpusnas ada tanda "Berhak cipta", sehingga isinya dianggap berhak cipta pula. (Pasal 43 UU HC 2014 menyatakan bahwa terbitan pemerintah yang bertanda hak cipta tetap dilindungi hak ciptanya).

Untuk foto Piek Ardijanto Soeprijadi, saudara harus mendapatkan pernyataan dari pemegang hak cipta (fotografer/keluarga) yang menyatakan bahwa mereka mau melepaskan foto tersebut dengan lisensi bebas. Pernyataan tersebut harus menyatakan lisensi yang hendak digunakan oleh pemegang hak cipta. Ada contoh di Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:39, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Jika berkenan, mohon beritahu, setelah saya menerima izin dari keluarga mereka, apa yang harus saya lakukan? Sebab kemungkinan besar keluarga itu mungkin sudah lupa siapa fotografernya, masih hidup atau sudah meninggal. Ke manakah atau di bagian manakah e-mail itu saya sematkan. Terima kasih atas bantuan Mas Crisco. Salam. Igho (talk) 14:06, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Sculpture

We hope sent me your way and I am hoping you can help. I want to load this photograph of this ostrich sculpture created by Ivan Efimov. Not sure how to do it. If it was a painting, I could do it as fair use to depict his unique use of materials and techniques (most Russian sculptors at the time created static marble statuary and he used other materials and tried to capture movement). As it is a sculpture, if I choose 3-D art, it wants me to say either he took the photograph or the person who did take it has released the image, neither of which I think is true. I have no idea who took the photograph. Efimov has not been dead for 70 years, so I don't think the artwork can be used freely either. Is there a way to use the image as fair use? SusunW (talk) 19:06, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

• I'd be cautious if it's just a matter of showing the materials. The statues publically displayed before 1923 would be free in the US, and thus would be free enough to photograph for Wikipedia (but not Commons).  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:14, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Could you retouch File:HarryLewis_Harvard_InMeeting_2002.jpg a bit (creating a new file File:HarryLewis_Harvard_InMeeting_2002 retouched.jpg)?

Shouldn't File:Rhinotia hemistictus (Long Nosed Weevil).jpg have been placed on Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Unused? I mean the only article (Rhinotia hemistictus), where it's used is a stub. There are images on the list, which have better articles. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 01:09, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

• I decided to run it anyways, since the angle/approach is quite different than what we normally see.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 13:43, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Move

Can you help move Rosalie Keliinoi to Rosalie Keliʻinoi? Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 15:26, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Page deletion

Hi, Chris. Our paths haven't crossed in a while . . . As an admin, can you delete a page I created, René Étiemble? I thought he didn't have a page, but discovered too late that he does: Étiemble. Thanks, Awien (talk) 17:46, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

No longer needed - PamD created a redirect. Thanks anyway, Awien (talk) 18:11, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

• PamD did exactly what I'd do. Sorry for the late response... recently I've only been on Wikipedia in the morning (local time), since RL is keeping me quite busy.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:23, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

That RL thing really eats into one's WP time . . . Awien (talk) 01:55, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

• Aye. But I wouldn't trade my son or my PhD program for all the WP time in the world.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:20, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Double congratulations! (And I was really just teasing about WP time). Enjoy this special time to the max. Kid(s) get to be grown almost before you know it. All the best, Awien (talk) 11:13, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

• I know! I remember him as this little baby trying to roll over, and now he's got a vocabulary of more than 100 words — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:40, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I remember my daughter in her baby seat enthralled by her ability to move her fingers and my son's hilariously unique crawling style - and suddenly they're middle-ageing, greying, and offering their parents lifestyle advice. Awien (talk) 13:06, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Basuki Tjahaja Purnama

Hi Crisco,

Any interest is improving Basuki Tjahaja Purnama so that it might pass a WP:ITN/C (https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#Basuki_Tjahaja_Purnama)? I'm pinging you because of all your work on Indonesian topics on the EN wiki. --76.122.98.135 (talk) 21:29, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

• I haven't had much time to write recently, and the cluster**** that is the Ahok case is not something you can just explain in a couple paragraphs.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:10, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Indonesia-related articles

Hello Crisco 1492. I'm Fandi, I'm from Malaysia, one of the fellow Wikipedians. I personally interested with your works on articles related to Indonesia in Wikipedia, especially articles about films of the Dutch East Indies and past Indonesian actors and actresses. Your works are really interesting and capture my attention, thus I translated some of your works into Malay at the Malay Wikipedia because it really amazing and impressive. Have a good job and all the best to you. — Fandi89 (talk) 12:25, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:15, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Today's picture

In the absence of today's picture, and with a multi-image whose code I can't begin to understand, I've moved tomorrow's picture to today as a quick fix. Hope this was not an entirely stupid solution... Apologies for the mess I've made. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:43, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Well, today's POTD was for Canada Day, so...  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:55, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Ah, you're online! Feel free to revert/fix. I thought any picture was better than yesterday's Leica. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:59, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Aye, true. Sorry. I slept in and just ordered breakfast. POTD is fixed.

For next time... The code for these multis is a bit of a pain, but it's mostly copying and pasting once you reach this point:

1. Create POTD protected subpage (POTD protected/1 etc.)
2. Copy template from POTD subpage (POTD/1 etc.) and subst like normal using POTD row. Save
3. Manually insert links to previous POTDs and remove everything after the noinclude tag.
4. Repeat for however many supages there are
5. Create the randomizer page at POTD protected, changing "POTD" to "POTD protected". — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:04, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Thanks! I'll note the instructions for future reference; for some reason I'm often the only main-page-patrolling admin at odd hours of the UK night (it's 2am here...). Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:25, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• I'll try and prep the next multi a few days ahead of schedule. One's scheduled for a week or two from now... two views of an Oxford chapel.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:56, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Also today's picture

On June 16 I intended to make an edit to all 5 texts for today's alternative pictures, but apparently I missed number 4 (the $10), and didn't find this out until it actually showed up on the home page. Since Template:POTD/2017-07-01/4 is now cascade-protected, would you mind replicating the edit on that one by copying the text from one of the other alternatives and substituting the correct denomination? Thanks.

(I've noted before, probably from a different IP address, that I thing there ought to be a better way to do this type of POTD so that the repetitive text would only have to be edited once. Here's a good example of why!) --76.71.5.114 (talk) 08:37, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

• Too late now. But please do think about the issue. --76.71.5.114 (talk) 07:54, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

• I did do it on the protected page, AFAIR.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:08, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
