Good to have you aboard Ethan! Since you are professionally involved in the field, remember to be careful of conflict of interest, but please do get involved, especially when it comes to discussing issues on the article talk pages. Expert opinions are always welcome. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to leave a note on my talk page. Cheers! — Huntster (t @ c) 22:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images of Buildings

[edit]

FYI - You have to watch out for buildings in some countries - you cannot take photos and use commercially unless you know the building is very old (and then you need to put dates on the image page). France is one of them! I've added {{FoP-USonly}} to File:Abri_du_Poisson.jpg#Licensing - because you can take photos of buildings in the US, Wikipedia allows photos of buildings to be used, but only on en-wiki, this template ensure no one will move it to commons where it could then be deleted as no Freedom of panorama. You might like to check your image uploads at Special:ListFiles/Ethan_Doyle_White and tag any French photos of buildings with the same template. UK Buildings are no problem.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 18:12, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


To Commons

[edit]

Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view your previous uploads). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading! Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:22, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It would also be appreciated, that for images of sites of archeological interest, you could include or update the file description to include a precise location, this is so other contributors can match it up with other sources. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:22, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You've got a great collection of images that you've taken and uploaded for use on Wikipedia. I do hope one day to see your images uploaded to the Commons where they can also be used on other language Wikipedias and seen across the world.

Notification of automated file description generation

[edit]

Your upload of File:Abri Pataud stratigraphy.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Research papers

[edit]

Hi, Are there any research papers you did that are under a Wikisource compatible license? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:44, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sfan00 IMG and thank you for your message. If I'm perfectly honest, I don't really know what a Wikisource compatible license entails; however, my paper and book review that have appeared in Correspondences: An Online Journal for the Academic Study of Western Esotericism are published under an open access licence, so perhaps they might be applicable ? Sorry that I couldn't be of more help. Ethan Doyle White (talk) 13:07, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wikisource compatible means a license that's compatible with Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike (with no NC or ND) terms. In the Scientific field this means a journal publihser like (PLoS). I wasn't sure if there was one in the humanities yet. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:10, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Use of non-free images in the user namespace

[edit]

Hi Ethan Doyle White. Just want to let you know that I commented out File:Kalevala Monument in Sibelius Park.jpg and File:Detail on Helsinki Sibelius Monument.jpg because these files are listed as non-free and non-free content is only allowed to be used in the article namespace per WP:NFCC#9. The files in question were not deleted; They are still being used in the articles for which they have a valid non-free use rationale. - Marchjuly (talk) 08:46, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Identification help

[edit]

Ethan, do you know if File:Barrow Down burial II.jpg is scheduled? I was doing a search at Historic England based on the GPS location and haven't found anything. If it's not scheduled so far as you know, that's fine. Kelly hi! 17:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:1905 Revolution Memorial in Tallinn Detail.jpg

[edit]
⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:1905 Revolution Memorial in Tallinn Detail.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:22, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Commons

[edit]

Hello, Ethan - I was just writing to thank you again for your photos, and to ask you to consider uploading your free images to Wikimedia Commons as opposed to here at Wikipedia. This has several advantages, as you can see from some of your photos that I have recently transferred over, such as File:Gurney's Castle.jpg. For one thing, it makes the image available for all of our sister projects, such as the other-language Wikipedias. It also has methods and templates for geo-locating the photos so they are available to view on OpenStreetMap and Google Earth. (I notice you normally use a GPS receiver with your camera, in those cases a bot will automatically add the coordinates to the image description.) There are also templates like "listed building England" that provide links to Historic England for listed buildings and scheduled monuments, and which add the photos to a database, making them easier to find. For instance, I recently transferred over your photos of Falkner's Circle...we don't have an article on that megalith at present, but when we eventually do your photos will be cataloged and easy for the article author to find.

The main difference at Commons is that no non-free images are allowed, so, for instance, your photos of artwork in Estonia would not be allowed there. (Anything in the UK is fine due to freedom of panorama - see Commons:Template:FoP-UK. See Commons:Commons:Freedom of panorama for details by country.

Images at Commons are categorized, you can see the categories at the bottom of the image page. For instance, categories might be Commons:Category:Avebury prehistoric sites or Commons:Category:Tumuli in Dorset. The Commons upload form includes an easy categorization tool. You can always hit me up with any questions at Commons:User talk:Kelly.

Once uploaded at Commons, you would use the file here the exact same way you would if it were uploaded here at Wikipedia. By uploading at Commons instead of here, you would be doing us a big favor by saving us some work, as free images will eventually all be moved to Commons eventually anyway.

Thank you again and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. And keep on taking photos! In addition to working with files here, I also take photos of listed buildings in Lincolnshire and a few other places when I have the time.

All the best - Kelly hi! 12:04, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

File:Barrow Down burial II.jpg

[edit]

I know it's been a while, but is there any chance you could identify the listing number of this tumulus? I think the location data from the EXIF may be incorrect. Kelly hi! 14:33, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with File:Lennart Meri monument at airport.jpg

[edit]
Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Lennart Meri monument at airport.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 22:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Kalevipoeg Scene 1.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kelly hi! 22:58, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Local copy

[edit]

I like your photos, but in the many cases where there is clearly no copyright issue, why do you upload them to Wikipedia rather than Commons, and ask for a local copy to be kept? They could be properly categorized and more widely seen on Commons. Johnbod (talk) 17:14, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Johnbod. I upload to Wikipedia because I am more familiar with the process than with Wikimedia Commons. If anyone wishes to transfer my images to the latter then they are more than welcome to do so, although I think it best that copies are retained in separate places. Ethan Doyle White (talk) 17:19, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Really Commons is easier - you can do a batch - when you are sure of the copyright. You are always sure of old UK museum objects & street scenes. There's really no need to keep copies either. Johnbod (talk) 17:58, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I second @Johnbod's comments here. I just came across File:Interior of St James's Church, Piccadilly.JPG and copied it to commons, where it's now categorised into commons:Category:Interior of St James's Church, Piccadilly and it can now be used in any Wikimedia project, not just the English Wikipedia (particularly other language Wikipedias). There's nothing to gain by keeping a copy here, as this type of image is very unlikely to be deleted from Commons, and most edits to it (new descriptions, better categorisation) will happen on Commons, so the local copy will get out of sync. I also share my photos here, but via Commons, and the best part of that is seeing others use them in the most unexpected places across the different Wikimedia projects (as well as externally). The upload process there is not that different from here (and if you want the old style of uploads, as I do when I'm not batch-uploading images, then see [1]). But, of course, it's your choice. :-) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:43, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Peel and Johnbod: In light of these comments, I have started using Wikimedia Commons for my uploads. Thank you for your suggestion. Ethan Doyle White (talk) 13:41, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent - I recommend setting up a "hidden" personal category like my one for your own photos, and the Hot Cat tool (add via "Preferences" is extremely useful. Do let me (or Mike, I'm sure) know if you run in any problems. The batch upload tool is quirky, but pretty quick once you are used to it. It's probably best not to have more than 10-12 images per batch, or at least start that way. Johnbod (talk) 16:59, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Abri du Poisson.jpg

[edit]
Notice

The file File:Abri du Poisson.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

orphaned image, no encyclopedic use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
