Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Kestreltail!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

 Comment Can the perspective be fixed? Rodhullandemu (talk) 22:40, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

• Unfortunately, I am certainly not qualified to fix this. My photography skills are not much better than being able to spot the most valuable image in a category. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 01:03, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

•  Support @Rodhullandemu: rightly we can try to correct the perspective. For very tall buildings, the low angle is acceptable. I correct the image it takes only a minute, keeping a small voluntary angulation so that the image is not unpleasant to the brain. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:14, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

Now it's you who will have to learn ...--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:18, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

• Indeed, I have much to learn . . . such as what perspective even is. I looked it up on Google, and there were a bunch of pages saying that perspective is how you frame an object so you can tell how far away it is, which doesn't seem relevant to these photos at all. Would you care to shed some light on the subject? —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 22:51, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Very good question. There is a big difference between reality and the perception that our brain gives to it. Our brain automatically corrects our vision, but it cannot correct a flat image like a photograph. We don't like to be surprised by an overly distorted image. Since antiquity, designers and painters have corrected perspective.

You will find a large amount of software that easily corrects images. Trial... --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:12, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Also, Do you think it would be helpful to have 2 scopes for view from the west (this file) and view from the south (the one you suggested)? —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 13:46, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

It's a good idea. I took the settings from the first image so that both have the same color temperature. Change the scope of this one and present the other to the competition. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:29, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Best in Scope Wow, nice image! Consider featured picture nomination. Buidhe (talk) 02:03, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

• Yes, it is a cool photo, but the folks over at FPC have very high standards and I doubt it would succeed. I'm no expert photographer, but the fact that the photo was taken from over a mile away from the building tells me that the very picky reviewers over there would find a way to complain about the quality. If you are more experienced than I am, then I would encourage you to nominate this image, as the subject is certainly interesting enough for FP. I'll also ping @Ikan Kekek: for his expert opinion. Also, I'm going to change the scope from "Strata, London" to "Strata, London - Frontal View, since it appears the back of the building looks quite different. Pinging @Buidhe: . —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:20, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

• No objections to change in scope. I have no experience with FPC but this image just seemed to be of high technical proficiency in my (amateur) opinion. Buidhe (talk) 02:26, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

• I do have experience with FPC. I've been lurking over there for several months now, voting occasionally, and it's a frightening place for the amateur photographer. Trust me, I've tried nominating an image there. They will savagely beat down any nomination that isn't of the finest technical quality, and even if the quality is fine, they can shoot down a nomination because they don't like how it looks. I mean, if they can heartlessly kill a nomination like this one so easily, they would probably eat this one for breakfast. (Note: This was mostly humorous writing meant to emphasize how intimidating FPC can be, and is in no way a criticism of the very fine people over at FPC. ) —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:41, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment - This is a very good composition, and I might vote for it at FPC, but I'm a little doubtful enough people would consider the subject sharp enough. I'd suggest posting to COM:Photography critiques and asking there whether people thought this could be an FP or not. I don't think people at FPC are necessarily heartless, though I guess that can happen; it's more like, we're opinionated and most of us take seriously the notice that "this is one of the finest pictures" on the site. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:02, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you.

I know, this is why I participate more here than in FP and QI, because quality is not the primary factor in determining value. :) Btw, I had checked all other images in the category before I supported, and this image IMO is the most valuable of them all after carefully checking.

You close and label the images very well, I congratulate you, it lightens my work. Remove them from the list when you do. Thank you for your help! Bon souvenir de France...--Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:41, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

@Archaeodontosaurus: I'm glad to help! I was so happy I finally figured out how to label the files as VI, that I forgot I also had to remove them from the list. I'll remember to do that from now on. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 12:21, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

@Archaeodontosaurus: I noticed that you seem to be manually adding a timestamp to the VI template. You can add five tildes to automatically generate a timestamp. Like this:

—Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:16, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for VicNotBot, but I think to regularise the situation you need to apply for permission at Commons:Bots/Requests. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 07:34, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

• Do I though, because it's not a bot! I just didn't want all of those menial edits under my own username, so I created my not-bot. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 12:20, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Wow you know how to program too: you will save us! --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 14:57, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Haha, unfortunately I don't know how to program, I only created my "not bot" so that those edits of mine will not be under my main username. I usually don't like to clog up my contributions with menial edits, so I thought it would be a fun idea to have a "not-bot" that acts just like the regular bot! :-) —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 16:17, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Well, thanks for doing it, but the problem now is the username; those ending in "bot" are only allowed for actual bots to avoid confusion. However, looking here, we might soon have someone to sort this out. Rodhullandemu (talk) 17:35, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

It seems like they need to get ahold of Dschwen before they can start work though. And yea, I didn't notice that you can't name a user "bot". —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 18:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States 2020 – Last day to enter!

This user participated in Wiki Loves Monuments 2020.

Want to show your participation in Wiki Loves Monuments 2020? Add {{User Wiki Loves Monuments 2020}} to your userpage!

Wiki Loves Monuments logo

Hi there! Kevin from Wiki Loves Monuments in the United States here. I know it's been a tough year for everyone, and I hope this message finds you well.

You are receiving this message as a participant in last year's Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 in the United States. First, a recap: We concluded with over 5,200 great photos of U.S. historical sites made possible by contributors like you. If you haven't yet seen, last year's U.S. winners are viewable here, and the international winners here (including multiple from the United States!).

Second, as you may have seen from the banner notices on Wikipedia, this year's Wiki Loves Monuments 2020 in the United States has been running through October instead of September in consideration of the pandemic and the hectic start of the fall season. Despite the challenges of the year, we're thrilled that the United States has surpassed 5,000 photo contributions so far.

October 31st is the last day to upload photos for the U.S. competition this year. If you've already contributed, thank you so much - and it's great to have you again this year! If you haven't yet contributed but are interested in participating again, you're invited to join us during these last couple days. Check out the United States event page for more information. Remember that you are welcome to upload and submit photos of historic sites that you've taken any time in the past, not just this month.

As always, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments! If you'd like to respond to this message directly, please do so on on my talk page. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 07:20, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Edited your picture

Good morning Percival

I saw this image of yours Media:View of Chicago Skyline from The Magic Hedge at Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary.jpg and thought it could make a nice picture. But it did not turn out as nice for me as I thought. If you want you can revert it by clicking on Revert beside the original. I will not be disturbed as it did not turn out as well as I hoped --Jim Evans (talk) 15:32, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

@Jim Evans: Thanks for trying to edit it! Also, that is not actually my picture, I uploaded it from Flickr. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 18:45, 19 December 2020 (UTC)

Sorry

Hello Percival

I'm sorry you got drawn into the discord between Archaeodontosaurus and me. You were an innocent bystander that found yourself in the middle of a fundamental disagreement over photos of skyscrapers in dense metropolitan areas.

By the way, you have some nice pictures of skyscrapers.

• @Jim Evans: That's okay! I'm glad you were able to edit that picture to our satisfaction. As an architecture enthusiast myself I understand the difficulties of photographing tall buildings in dense areas. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:17, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

When I save to a JPEG, for upload to Commons, my workflow results in dashes being substituted where spaces exist. When I began uploading pictures I didn't understand why the dashes mattered. I soon figured that out but by then habits had formed and I would forget sometimes and leave the dashes in. The picture you were asking about was an earlier upload. Once uploaded, Commons makes renaming or deleting a picture so difficult I leave screwed up names even if I discover a typo, odd phrasing ("shot for bill"), etc. I rarely make the mistake anymore so when I use the filename to make the category I may not notice it's one with dashes and fail to take them out. That's what happened here. -- Jim Evans (talk) 19:13, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I do object

I'm not angry, but I do object to you changing my picture during the review process without consulting me. You cropped off the corner of the roof. But, just leave it be now, I'll take car of it after it rolls off review.

I edited your picture File:Concord-Carlisle High School.jpeg. But, I waited until the review process was complete before uploading my edit. -- Jim Evans (talk) 20:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Your crop did demonstrate one interesting thing, Archaeodontosaurusis is willing to sacrifice part of the primary subject to remove an inconsequential peripheral. -- --Jim Evans (talk) 21:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

@Jim Evans: Sorry, but I don't see the place where I cropped the roof off... could you make a note? —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 21:16, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Never mind, the page wasn't loading my new version. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 21:19, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Good, because I have never learned how to make notes on pictures. For what it's worth on the Col. Hugh B. and Helen Moore House image he is now unhappy about, I'm pretty good at editing pictures, but that's an edit I'm unable to do. And, he didn't explain what perspective distortion he's talking about. -- Jim Evans (talk) 21:35, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I retract what I said about Archaeodontosaurusis and the Col. Hugh B. and Helen Moore House image. I saw Oppose followed by his name and thought it was his post. I see now I was mistaken. -- Jim Evans (talk) 01:14, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

I want you to know I appreciate your support. We don't always agree but you seem even handed. So thanks.

You asked about a second E.S. Levy building. I could not reply because it had been closed to comments. The answer is, I got the wrong address somewhere, probably on Wikipedia. Shot the building and later discovered the error. It is so difficult to get pictures deleted on Commons, and it wasn't being used so I just left it. After your question I managed to get it deleted. -- Jim Evans (talk) 21:36, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

MVR

I'd never done an MVR before so I'm not sure how it works. You commented on McKinney-McDonald House but didn't vote. I assume you have to vote on for either the old or new image?? If so, is one vote all that's necessary to replace a new image with the older?

I'm also sending you an email -- Jim Evans (talk) 02:36, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I've never done an MVR either, since I never figured out how it works. IMO they should replace it with something more efficient, because I have no idea how voting works on two noms side by side. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:57, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

The process, though clumsy, is well explained. I found the instructions clear and easy to follow. If you have questions I may be able to help. -- Jim Evans (talk) 03:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

In that case, perhaps I was just lazy and didn't read it properly! —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 03:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

File mover

I've approved your request for the filemover right. Make sure to pay attention to the renaming guidelines; in particular, when it is appropriate not to leave a redirect. (For your own uploads, when correcting a file name immediately after upload, you don't need to leave a redirect. In most other cases, you do.)

On a personal note, when uploading new files, would you consider adding the date in the filename? For subjects like railroad stations and cityscapes that may change over time, having the time period in the filename makes it easy to select the most current (or most relevant) file in categories. The style that I've used for my uploads (including a large number of Boston-related images) is to list the month and year, as in File:Abandoned northbound tunnel from Boylston station, July 2019.JPG. I feel that sets a good compromise between clarity and conciseness. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:41, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I will keep that in mind! —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 23:59, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

@Pi.1415926535: Quick question, I want to rename File:Maynard Town Hall in Maynard Massachusetts MA on Maine Street.jpg which has an obvious typo in the name, and the popup window asks if I want to "replace usage immediately". What does this mean, and should I do it in this case? Thanks. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 17:34, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

That means that the system will automatically update the file name where it's used on other wikis. Usually that will be under your username, though files with a lot of usage will be handled by bots. I would recommend always leaving it checked; I don't think I've encountered any situation to uncheck it. Best, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:03, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

MVR

Placing MVR candidates was well explained but closing them was poorly explained, confusing and ponderous. I'm not sure I've done it right and I think there were more steps I didn't do because I didn't understand them. The instructions for closures need a lot of work. -- Jim Evans (talk) 21:01, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Yikes, it looks broken! I don't know how to fix it though... —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:10, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

I need to explain. I successfully closed the three that have been open for a while (though maybe not correctly). The one that's the mess is a fourth, You may have noticed a text pair between a couple of the original three. I couldn't get it to work originally. I waited until the other three were done to try this one again.

Archaeodontosaurus does not try to fix problems with MVR closures, saying they're complicated and he doesn't know how. He did say, often the problem is the original approval was not closed properly. You've done closures. Would you mind checking the approved one to see if you find anything that can be corrected? -- Jim Evans (talk) 11:48, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Okay, I figured out what was wrong with the Maud Moller House nomination: you forgot to add the closing braces! Should be fixed now. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 15:07, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

a note

• I'm not sure what you are talking about. I only get red "alerts" and blue "notifications". Do you remember where I sent the note? And what happens if I mention you right now? Does that give the green note? Jim Evans —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 18:35, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

They're probably blue, I have a bad memory for colors. So, they must be called notifications. How does one create a notification? Your mention above caused a red note. -- Jim Evans (talk) 01:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see, the blue notifications are only for when someone sends thanks for an edit. I think I thanked you for editing out my shadow on one of my photos, which would have sent you a blue note. Jim Evans —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 02:08, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

@Jim Evans: You're right, I haven't participated at VIC for quite some time. But yesterday I came across an uploader with many potentially valuable images, so you might see some nominations from me again. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 17:57, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Well, it's good to see you back. I don't know if you left before I remembered I had flower pictures I could upload. But, it's been a pain. Archaeodontosaurus is head of biology or something of the sort at a university. He dises a number of my flower pictures for one reason or another. For example, Blood Lilys are also called Fireball lilys because their classic form is spherical [[1]] (which my picture is) but he preferred a hemispherical shot he found so mine went down the tubes. I'm not sure why he did this. Maybe he has never seen a Blood Lily. But, his constantly jumping on my flowers appears to have made others reluctant to support them. Flower picture preferences are subjective anyway. -- Jim Evans (talk) 23:08, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

I understand. I left after you started the flower nominations but I hesitate to vote on them myself since I know next to nothing of botany. I tend to vote on easy to judge scopes. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 13:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

•  Comment The trademark symbol is part of the building name as listed on its website and several building databases.

•  Question More than one building is prominent in this photo. Could you identify at least the gray tower with the crane-like structure and the white tower on the left in your file description? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:26, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I don't see either of the buildings you mention. However, your comment made me realize that what I (rather foolishly) thought was One United Nations Plaza, is actually three separate buildings in very close proximity to each other: One United Nations Plaza, Two United Nations Plaza, and the New United States Mission to the United Nations. I've attempted to reformat the scope as best I can, but I'd welcome suggestions. It appears the category is also formatted weirdly, in a way that suggests there is only one building. @Ikan Kekek and Archaeodontosaurus: —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 03:13, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you. So two of the buildings you're talking about are gray, and I was identifying the smaller tower as white, but it's actually a bright yellow. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:28, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

• Ah, I see. By the way, the "crane-like structure" on 1 UN Plaza appears to be a building maintenance unit (BMU). —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 04:36, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

• Oh, one point: If "new" is not part of the name of the U.S. Mission, should it be included, keeping in mind that this could still be a VI in 30 years? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:50, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment I considered nominating that one, but the trees block more of the building and the angle makes it harder to see the side facade. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

  • I know, but in this one the pole on the left oddly covers up the end of the building, in a way I find very distracting. --ELEKHH^T 06:28, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Considering the formulation of the scope, we can exclude the trains and only consider the building, in which case it is this image which is the best. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:17, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

  • "Considering the formulation of the scope, we can exclude the trains"? It is a "train station". --ELEKHH^T 06:26, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

• Would you require trains to be viewable in a VI of the Amsterdam Centraal Station? A train station is very commonly a building. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:30, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

  • I am not requiring anything. Just saying that the other picture has a better composition, because by showing a train it makes the use of the building obvious, and is not obscured by the distracting pole. It is particularly appropriate as it shows the facade facing the tracks, not the facade facing the city. --ELEKHH^T 21:25, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

• OK, just checking. I'm not sure which one is better in scope, myself, but the building is bigger at review size in this photo, so that's one argument on the other side. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Question Clearly superior, but aren't we looking at the other side? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment Yes, it's a 3-sided building, but I don't think multiple scopes are needed for different angles since the building is relatively uniform. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 12:14, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment The colors and shapes look very different to me in the two photos. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:05, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Comment The color difference looks minimal to me and is probably because the first photo is backlit. As for the shape... we're merely looking at it from an adjacent side, so the spire is now on the opposite side of the building. Not much else looks out of place to me. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 01:08, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
