Please link images edit
Hello WhisperToMe!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. Siebrand 20:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Pictures from flicker edit
Hi! It is always a good idea to upload the highest resolution version when you get a picture from flicker. It makes the image way more informative. I've uploaded a much higher resolution version of Image:MiamiAirportTerminal.jpg. --J.smith (talk) 01:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.BotMultichillT (talk) 06:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Military of Taiwan and Republic of China categories edit
As the main creator of this nest of categories please allow me to explain the reason for this. (If you can't be bothered to read the long version, the short version is that it is done this way to both respect reality as it is whilst attempting not to upset the political sensitivities of all sides.)
The long version:- The Republic of China existed as the main recognised political entity in China from about 1912 to about 1948 so any files related to the Chinese military of that time can be legitimately and almost uncontroversially be included in categories titled the Republic of China. After 1948 according to the PRC the RoC ceased to exist and today there is no political entity called the Republic of China whatever the authorities on Taiwan may chose to call themselves. Of course the reality is a little different with many nations continuing to recognise those on Taiwan as the legal government of China until the mid to late 1970s. After this point most nations recognised the PRC as the government of China. Today very few countries,not even its closest ally the USA, recognise the RoC as a sovereign state. The PRC has alsoworked hard to pressurise international organisations not to recognise or use the words Republic of China, in order not to offend PRC sensibilities it is now usual to refer to Taiwan rather then the RoC, for example there is no Republic of China at the Olympics but there is/was an entity called Chinese Taipei.
- There are four ways to categorise files with regards the military of the RoC/Taiwan, which reflect the different positions taken.
- i)There is one China called the PRC, the RoC no longer exists and the forces there are the remenants of a warlord faction which will be integrated the PLA as soon as the malcontents there see sense.
- ii)There is one China called the RoC, those calling themselves the PRC are rebels who will be crushed when the beloved homeland is liberated.
- iii)There is a nation called Taiwan which exists, its culture, people and language are distinct and independent of that of the mainland. In 1948 its people were brutally invaded by forces fleeing China, who in the intervening years used military force to supress the local people and culture. The nation of Taiwan will throw of the shackles of these invaders and their desire for a single China and will one day chart its own way in the world.
- iv)The status quo is a mess of names, interests and sensibilities and is far from perfect, however its the one people have gotten to know and accept so lets turn a blind eye to its inconsistencies and try not upset the apple cart.
The existing cats are organised in such a way as to reflect the fact that an entity called the Republic of China existed between 1911 and 1948. That an entity exists in Taiwan with many of the trappings of a nation state including a military, however these categories are nested in such a way so as to reflect the fact of a single China whilst at the same time trying to maintain the differences between the two.
In my opinion any attempt that implys the continued existence of the RoC after 1948 is likely to inflame those who lean towards the PRC. Any attempt to deny the existence of a polity in Taiwan that sees itself as the legitmate government of China will inflame the majority of those in Taiwan. Any attempt that there are two soverign nations one called China and one called Taiwan will inflame both a majority in Taiwan and China.
Like the world we live in the status quo with regards these categories here on Commons has natural inconsistencies, and cannot satisfy the opinions and hopes of everybody. However thus far the status quo seems to have worked so lets not upset the apple cart.KTo288 (talk) 17:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your answer and the link to Wikipedia Naming conventions (Chinese)-Republic of China, Taiwan, and variations thereof. Although I was previously unaware of it, I find it wise, succint and an accurate summary of the situation as I understand it. Actually I'm surprised that you haven't included the link on the discussion pages of those categories you are seeking to move as it seems a pretty persuasive arguement, if I ever need to edit an article on Taiwan at Wikipedia I now know where to look for guidance.
- This is not Wikipedia, and sage as that guidance is, these are not articles that we are talking about, even so I do not hesitate in endorsing most of its advice (the one area I would dispute would be:- "Text should treat the Republic of China as a sovereign state with equal status with the People's Republic of China.'" which is itself disputed at the page itself.
- Where we differ then is in how we would implement these guidelines. With an article what is used is language and constructions of words to create pictures and to express ideas. Commons does not deal with words, but with pictures and those pictures can create ideas and narratives in the mind of the observer. On commons pages, words in the form of introductions and captions can maybe help steer the direction of the narrative. However with categories unless you work very hard the order in which images are presented cannot be controlled and you have no control over the narrative. What control we do have over what and how an observer sees an image comes from categorisation.
- I will use Category:Air force of Taiwan to illustrate this,as this was the category that first alerted me to your concerns. If we were to have one and only one category for this topic, then I think I would have to agree with you and move its contents to a category called Category:Air Force of the Republic of China. However that would be tantamount to saying you can only write an article using one sentence or one paragraph.
- In articles, we use sentences to express a single idea, and paragraphs to link these ideas to create a theme. When done well these disparate paragraphs join to create a narrative. On Commons we don't have sentences and paragraphs but we do have categories and the taxonomic tree.
- Within the tree indvidual files belong to or should belong to at least one category. However just as an article is not a jumble of haphazard unrelated sentences, Commons is not a mess of individual unrelated categories. Categories themselves can belong to categories which in turn belong to other categories. Any file that belongs to a category belongs to every category that that category belongs to and so on. So since the category Air force of Taiwan is a sub category of Air Force of the Republic of China every file presently in Air force of Taiwan also belongs to the category Air Force of the Republic of China, which in turn is a sub category of Category:Air force of China.
- The wikipedia page offers the construction "Republic of China (Taiwan)" as a way to disambiguate between the pre 1949 entity and the current entity calling itself the "Republic of China", and this is exactly what is being done in the way the current categories are organised.
- Again thank you, and my apologies if it seems I was lecturing you on a topic on that you are familiar with.KTo288 (talk) 23:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- Do you prefer to keep this conversation in one or two places? This reply is being posted on both my talk page and yours.KTo288 (talk) 23:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Help with Portuguese in Category:Air France Flight 447 edit
Hi. The Portuguese for "The image gallery documents the search for the aircraft?" is "Esta galeria de imagens mostra a busca pelos destroços do avião" or "Esta galeria de imagens mostra a busca pelo avião". What is aircraft? Is the airplane? Or is the airplane after an accident?--Eduardoferreira (talk) 13:55, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 18:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. There is news saying that this image Busca voo Air France 447 3.jpg is not from oil spit from the airbus. It is from a ship.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think there are many spokesperson for Naval and Aeronautical Social Communication Center. I think one possibility is to use Vice-Chief for Social Communication Center. Give me an example for use to Deputy head for me to see if it is appropriate. Specifically in case of Jorge Amaral, he is a colonel, so you can call him as Colonel Jorge Amaral, vice-chief for Social Communication Center of Brazilian Air Force.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 00:26, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- The portuguese for this "These photographs document the search for possible survivors, as well as for mortal remains, debris and the flight recorders from the crashed plane." can be: Estas fotografias mostram as buscas por possíveis sobreviventes, assim como restos mortais, destroços e a caixa-preta do avião que caiu. So, you can use "Vice-chief" or "Deputy Head". I don´t know which one is more usual. It may depends on the context.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 01:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. I have a question for you. Look these images: Tab "Fotos", uploaded today, june 6. It has been published by Força Aerea Brasileira, not from "Agencia Brasil". When the picture from FAB is published by Agencia Brasil, we can upload here in commons because the terms of license in Agencia Brasil is Creative Commons. But in the FAB site, the terms of license is All rights reserved. I think we will have to wait for Agencia Brasil to publish some picture from the searches in june 6, to upload here in commons. But, a doubt remains: Like this one published by FAB in June 3 and Busca voo Air France 447 3.jpg. The same picture in Agencia Brasil done by FAB, and the Agencia Brasil is the publisher. We can not upload here in commons presuming that FAB would give permission like to Agencia Brasil? --Eduardoferreira (talk) 02:10, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. It seems to be "Esta foto mostra a remoção pela Marinha Brasileira da empenagem que estava no mar pertencente ao AirFrance AirBus A330".--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- It would be better like this: "Esta foto mostra a remoção pela Marinha Brasileira do estabilizador vertical que estava no mar pertencente ao AirFrance AirBus A330". This one is better.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

- Hi. I need your help with this image Cindacta 3.jpg. The license is {{Cc-by-nc-nd-3.0}} but the uploader have put the license as {{Cc-by-3.0}} which is not the license of the picture. Do you know what to do?--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- I marked for deletion but don't know if I done it correctly.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 23:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. Now I know I can use the parameter |1= combined with source in case of another copyvio.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 00:37, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
I understand your request. I got the email from Mr. Zamprogno. Someone puts the future image of Cindacta 3. Signed by Ícaro Messias
10 June 2009 - 02:24.
Yes... Can be taking stock. But take stock will not seem that is a stock of goods? Balanço in this case have more to be with a resume, a resumé, a trial to condensate the most important facts on the rescue in those ten days. Brigadier Ramon Borges Cardoso making a presentation regarding the ten days of rescue activities of the bodies from the victims of the Air France Flight 447, executed by BAF aircrafts, France and United States. At his side, comandant of the 3rd Naval District, vice-almirant Edison Lawrence Dantas. <-- Maybe like this, something like this.--Eduardoferreira (talk) 13:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for the barnstar of diligence and for the opportunity for helping with some translation. I need some help with some images. Vinheta Radar SP.ogg, Rosana Jatobá.jpg, Michelle Loreto.jpg, I think they are not free.

Images of French buildings edit
Hi,
I just added a comment to this topic on Village Pump; as it may be of interest for you, here is a copy below:
On French WP, there is a special category for these images: fr:Catégorie:Image d'œuvre architecturale récente en fair use. Before any deletion, uploading them in this category would be smart. Thanks a lot. --Croquant (talk) 10:25, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- You are welcome! I am not an administrator on FR. Am I still allowed to upload fair use images? If so, how? Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 00:24, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
It is not necessary to be an administrator: any registered user on French WP is allowed to upload images. However, you may find it difficult if you do not understand French, as the upload procedure is only in French. So, uploading an image to French WP is very similar to Commons; the main difference is about licences: for these images, you need two licences : the first is related to the building : {{Fair use bâtiment récent}}, and the second is the original licence given by the photographer; see for instance [1], one of my pictures, as an example. If you are in trouble with categorization, miss it out. If you need more details, feel free to leave me a message. Thanks, Croquant (talk) 06:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I forgot something important: some architects explicitly prohibit any reproduction of their works, for instance Ieoh Ming Pei for the Louvre Pyramid; such images should not be uploaded to French WP. For Millau viaduct, I am not sure about the architect's position; I try to find it out. Croquant (talk) 06:40, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I just found this image of Millau viaduct, previously on Commons, and uploaded to French WP, but I did not find the architect's position, if any; I asked the question on the Bistro of the french WP. Croquant (talk) 07:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Well, it seems that nothing prevents from uploading pictures of Millau viaduct to French WP. Croquant (talk) 17:51, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Alitalia headquarters edit
It is not possible to take those pictures: in Italy there is no such thing like "freedom of panorama", and that means it is not legally possible to take a picture of buildings whose architect has not been dead for 70 years. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 17:08, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
- Even in that case, you can still be liable under Italian law, and that means that it is still illegal to publish that picture. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 15:13, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- What you fail to understand is that if I take a picture of a modern building and I publish it (directly or undirectly), even in a country where modern buildings photos are freely publishable, I am committing a crime in Italy. I dont' know where are you from, but if you upload an "illegal" mp3 onto a computer in country X and distribute it there, you are still liable according to the law of the country you live. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 16:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
- "Would the courts really make a big deal about this case?" This is not the point, it would be nonetheless a crime and people willing to help you should be aware of this.
- "one could get around it by asking that only non-Italian citizens fulfill the request" they would be liable of the same crime, even if obviously only those living in Italy would be actually persecuted. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 21:52, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
- If you think that could be useful, it might be a good idea to ask to experts how to handle the case. Bye. --TcfkaPanairjdde (talk) 17:37, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Please stop spamming Commons:Forum edit
If no one translates the descriptions of those Air France 447 images, than we do not consider them necessary. Please do not copy your list again. --h-stt !? 08:50, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- H-stt, I am not spamming the list. The list was very long and it takes a long time for the list to be completed. It's not that nobody wants to do it. On the contrary. Look at what happens to the list as I post it again and again. It gets smaller. And smaller. And smaller. And smaller. As more of the list is done, it gets closer to completion, it is a long work in progress, not a list nobody wants to touch.
- I will repost the list until it is totally finished, or unless someone reverts the bot every time it tries to archive the list.
- Thank you for your understanding
- WhisperToMe (talk) 10:56, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- You post a list of tasks repeatedly to motivate others to do something for you. You do it a few times and it looks harmless. But have you thought what happens if others or even everyone does it? And of course you consider it successful, it always is for the first one or the first few. But once this method gets picked up by more people it has the potential to destroy the whole medium. That's the very definition of spam and that's what makes you a spammer. You copied your reply to my message to three separate places (here, my talk page and my talk page on de-WP) - do you even notice what you are doing, spammer! Stop this crap immediately, revert your spam and never do it again. Otherwise I will have to resort to the infallible method of Paul Tomblim: „Hire a hitman to kill the poster, his wife and kids, and fuck his dog and smash his computer into little bits. Anything more is just extremism.“ --h-stt !? 12:51, 18 March 2010 (UTC) PS: If I write here, I read here. There is no need to answer anywhere else.

DouglassESYellowstoneAcademyHoustonTX.JPG edit
Hi! Regarding you QI nomination of DouglassESYellowstoneAcademyHoustonTX.JPG pls see below a few hints. The Wikipedia article on Chromatic aberration has a brief explanation on how to avoid or correct it. If you google for it you will find several tutorials (there is a step by step tutorial on youtube as well). Same with Perspective distortion, but this one is much easyer to correct. If you don't have a comprehensive graphic software (i.e.Photoshop or Photo-Paint), there are freewares around which can do the job. You can find some suggestions of freeware for tackling perspective distortion here. Regarding composition: if there are ugly wires in your way you cannot avoid, is still preferable to try get them not overlap the most important features of the subject (i.e. top decoration, clock). It is also unclear why the present framing was chosen, why is not possible to see more of the building? Hope these hints help. I would suggest retaking the picture from a beter angle, so that the wires don't disturb so much and the subject building is better visible. --Elekhh (talk) 03:18, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

RE: China Airlines photo request edit
Hey, only checked my Commons talkpage today. Sorry, I don't live in Taiwan and have no plans to go there in the near future. So I can't help you to take the CI headquarters. BTW, I live in Singapore. :) Terence (talk) 16:18, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, I can't fulfill your request again. Airline House is within the boundaries of Changi Airport and thus it's a protected area. As for SIA Training Centre, it is guarded and photography is not allowed. Terence (talk) 08:06, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
- A protected area in Singapore means that you are not allowed to go and take photos along the fence, technically. If caught, you will be asked to delete the photo and can be charged if you are a repeat offender. Airline House is right in the smack of the protected place so I am unable to fulfill your photo request in any circumstances. It's almost impossible to get ramp access or access within the restricted areas of Changi Airport. Singapore is very strict on such matters, any trespassing of a protected place means you can be charged in court. BTW, Airline House is NOT visible from the runway. That building is one of the many facilities SIA has on the grounds of Changi Airport. SIA Training Centre is located outside Changi Airport. Terence (talk) 04:19, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yea, that's one of the any buildings on the airport grounds. They are very strict about taking photos of protected places due to the threat of terrorism globally. Security and photography at airports at the fence is stricter than most countries. Terence (talk) 19:02, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

language tagging edit
There's extremely little point in marking up descriptions with language tagging unless there are multiple descriptions in different languages to choose from. Certain automated tools do add such tags (often incorrectly!), but there's no particular reason to emulate them in manual edits... AnonMoos (talk) 10:23, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
- Do you really think that all five million images, or whatever (with more being added all the time) are going to be given captions in multiple languages in any determinate amount of time?? I see little reason to make preparations for such hypothetical future contingencies, which can instead be easily dealt with when the time actually comes...

So you know, Stewards are put under Confirmation and are reviewed. Such statements that Thogo made are unacceptable for Stewards to make and can be grounds for termination. As you can see here, he attempts to bully anyone who points out his abusive behavior, verifying more that he needs to be removed. Please remember his conduct for the review so we can ensure that he no longer has power in which to push an such poor claims in such an incivil manner in the future. Please watch yourself until then, as he made it clear he will try to bully and intimidate any others until the point he is removed. Ottava Rima (talk) 18:22, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Kuru!
Would you be interested in adding more languages to your license template? User:D-Kuru/licence
User:Raboe001/licence is an example of a multilingual license template - If you are interested, I could post requests to have your template translated into various languages WhisperToMe (talk) 00:56, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
- User:D-Kuru/licence is not the end. I'm planning {{User:D-Kuru/mpt}} for a long time now. "mpt" means "multi purpose template". This template will be usable for everything (considering what I need and use). Multiple languages will one of the things which will be included due to time. However, so far I don't really have time to care about the template. So, yes I want to have my template in multiple langues but it would make no sence when it looks completely different in a half year. So far it is not very useful to translate the template. But when I'm finished I will contact you again.

Don't alter my name, please. edit
Hi, thank you for your attention to my personal category but I'm displeased with your change. I'm Kizu Naoko and that is the sole proper name in my ethnicity which you have no authority to change. That is not what I was named and I've been used. I'm very offended with your change, even if it comes from genuine goodwill. I don't want you to change my name and neglect my ethnicity. OK? You neglect my ethnicity and my identity. I'd like you to make them back to the proper original order. Thanks. --Aphaia (talk) 00:41, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
- Responded on talk page. As a note to third parties, it is standard in the media of European languages (English, French, Spanish, etc.) to use family name last with modern day Japanese names (even though in the Japanese language family name comes first) - This practice is widely acknowledged in Japan and abroad. From my understanding, most Japanese do not find this offensive (or else they would not tolerate Anglophone media switching around the names) - This is not considered altering of an actual person's name, just a different presentation (Naoto Kan vs. Kan Naoto, with Kan being the family name).
- Aphaia has expressed a preference for using family name first in European languages as well as Japanese. I am fine with it on user talk pages, talk pages, user pages, etc. But I have reservations against treating one Japanese person's name differently than other Japanese persons' names on the File/Image and Mainspace areas (Example: Category:Naoto Kan).

Air Finland and Blue 1 head offices edit
Well, I had great luck with the weather ;-). I decided to go out earlier to the airport to do the photos and pretty much immediately after I left it started to rain. So I gave up to also go to the Finnair head office again for pics without snow. By the time I finally boarded at the other end of the airport the weather was fine again and the streets dry. -- Cecil (talk) 01:13, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Forgot to mention, it seems as if Finnair is building a new head office. Right next to the old building (if you look at the south-side pic where you can see the beginning of a parking lot) they currently work on a new building (currently it is only a big hole in the ground) and while I couldn't read the text while driving by in the bus the picture shows that the result will be a huge modern-looking (lots of glass) office building. -- Cecil (talk) 15:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Publix Headquarters Picture Request edit
I had to go to a work facility near Lakeland, so I stopped by and snapped this picture with my cellphone. I also grabbed one going by the highway side of the complex from my car, but as I believe it's illegal to stop and take pictures, I got it while moving and it is into the sun so it's not great. I can drive by again sometime with my real camera if these aren't good enough. Legoloonie (talk)
- Not a problem. I know the picture of the headquarters building is awful, and I do work out there by Lakeland once and a while, so I may bring my better camera to try my best. That said, it is a gated campus on several acres of land, and I'm not sure how successful I'll be in approaching the building. Legoloonie (talk)
- I see what you mean, next time I will try from the entrance ramp there. Don't know when I'll next be in Polk County though. Legoloonie (talk)
- I got another picture, although once I got back to my computer the fenceposts seemed really annoying. I 'photoshopped' them out, but I'm not sure if that is a faux pas here on the Commons (and my Gimp skills aren't very finely tuned). Feel free to revert the file to the version with the fenceposts if that is preferable. Legoloonie (talk)

My next flight to Keflavik is leaving in 14 hours and I still need to wash my clothes and undpack and then pack again. -- Cecil (talk) 21:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, and thanks to the wonderful weather in Helsinki I've made some new pictures of the head office of Finnair and of the new head office building in progress. As wifi is free at the Helsinki airport I managed to upload them with 10 minutes to spare until boarding to Iceland. You'll find them in the Category:Finnair head office. There should be ten; 5 of the old building and 5 of the new one. -- Cecil (talk) 11:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikiproject Argentina edit
Thanks for your interest in that Wikiproject. The main problem is that it had a lot of activity in the time-frame 2007 to 2008 but it has had no further development since then. I do not see the advantage of working on it if noone will read these pages. Best regards, Alpertron (talk) 20:04, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi WhisperToMe, would you be kind enough to express your opinion here. Thanks, Sealle (talk) 20:30, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
A suspicious photo edit
Hello, WhisperToMe. About Sealle's request above. I'd like to attract your attention to this file. I have some serious doubts about its truthfulness, or rather about the truthfulness of its description. (I've also posted this on the file's talk page. I was directed to you later.)
The photographer claims this photo was taken two hours before the crash of the depicted airplane (more details about the crash). The metadata says it's 10:32. Aparently the time is UTC. It can't be Eastern European (Poland) time zone because then it would mean that it was taken 40 minutes before the airplane took off. It means that the local time was 11:32. In the Northern hemisphere the noon sun should be roughly at the South or South-East. And, if the airplane is flying East or North-East (as the route suggests) the sun should be illuminating the airplane's starboard. However, on the photograph, the sun is aparently shining from the quarter port side (you can see the sun reflection on the left side of the windshield). This implies that the airplane is either flying West in the afternoon, or is flying East in the morning in the Southern hemisphere. Do I understand this part correctly? It is also very suspicious that such a unique shot wasn't used by any news agencies or published on plane-spotters websites. I believe the reason for that is that both of those require the original photograph with genuine metadata. I'm not sure what to do with these doubts, so I thought I'd talk to the Commons' bureaucrat. Could you please take a look? Since I've contacted a few people already, maybe it would be wise to move the discussion to the file's talk page where it started? Thank you.

Air China Helsinki edit
Hi. About your request for the Air China office in Helsinki. The office is in the Kaivotalo. In the inner city of Helsinki pretty much every building has a name. Talo is the Finnish word for house. Kaivo stands for fountain. There is a big fountain in the inner court of the building. The building next to Kaivotalo is Makkaratalo, Sausage house, thanks to the weird sausage-like construction surrounding the building. Anyway there is already a nice image of the building here since 2007. Unless you have more special requests I would say that request is solved. -- Cecil (talk) 04:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Wrong capitalization edit
He, WhisperToMe. There're some inaccuracies here.[4]
I see somebody else as the translator. No matter what they say on usgs.gov.
Please see this [5] "Preuredio: Tomislav Kraljević; Bully." Uploaded on hr.wiki on Aug 2, 2007.
The material from usgs.gov is from [6] 07-Mar-2013.
Did they separately translated and came to same results, I don't know.
Anyway, they made one big mistake. The words on the picture must be written with small letters, not with capitals. So it goes: "oceani, površinske vode, isparavanje, zalihe podzemne vode, etc." not Oceani, Površinske vode, Isparavanje, Zalihe podzemne vode etc.

Finnair and Swedavia edit
Hi,
Have the pictures of the new head office of Finnair. They are a bit dark, was still rather early.
Also I went to the coordinates you gave me for Stockholm Arlanda. It's on airport property and I wasn't in the mood to climb over barbwire so no access. There was nothing that screamed headquarters. The coordinates themselves seem to be on the tarmac so the photos are of the surrounding buildings. The first two photos are from outside the airport property. Upstairs is the terminal with gates 29-36 and restaurants, but downstairs I could see through the windows on the left side of the building and there are offices inside (only they were empty which is a bit weird for a Monday). I later went to gate 26 and from there I photographed the buildings on the other side of the tarmac. In my opinion they don't look much like office buildings. Maybe the headquarters is spread over the whole airport.
Timestamp is not correct. Forgot to set the camera to the correct timezone. -- Cecil (talk) 16:48, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Re: Garuda Indonesia edit
Translation added. Regarding the plane image that was added, it was not the plane that crashed, and I don't know from what era was that plane with red strips. Garuda has always (to my knowledge) has distinctive blue tail, including the crashed plane, such as in the report here: [7]. Putting that image would be misleading. Btw, I can't find the casualties information (name, nationality, etc.) other than their sexes in the report or other places. Is that customary to left out the personal details of the casualties? (even their nationality would be considered common in more recent plane crashes, such as the Malaysian MAS accidents). Bennylin (yes?) 15:23, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Are you interested in doing a Rotterdam photo request? If so, I would like to have somebody take a photo of the en:Rotterdam Japanese School at Verhulstlaan 19 3055WJ, Rotterdam. Are you interested in doing this? Thanks, WhisperToMe (Overleg) 05:22, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi WhisperToMe! I am very honoured you ask me to make a photo from the Japanese School in Rotterdam. I am living in Arnhem (100 km east from Rotterdam) and I regularly go by train and mountain bike to everywhere in my country. I really don't know when the possibility for me will be to go to Rotterdam. I am seriously interested but I realize User:1Veertje lives in Rotterdam and she is able to make good photos. Greetings, --Michielverbeek (talk) 07:40, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Your request edit
I might well be able to do it ... I have been thinking, with the warmer (well, today, theoretically warmer) weather coming in, of going down there to take some pictures. I could add yours to my routine. What are you interested in? Daniel Case (talk) 19:55, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Australia photo requests edit
Hi. In answer to your query, I live in Perth, Western Australia. I am in a position to take photographs within the area bounded by a line from Geraldton to Kalgoorlie to Esperance and by the coast from Esperance to Geraldton. However, I wouldn't necessarily be able to photograph immediately the parts of that area most distant from Perth. I also travel occasionally to other places in Australia, especially Melbourne, which I visit approximately once each year. Bahnfrend (talk) 12:01, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

JP schools edit
WP-pt is a so hostile environment that I'm preferring to not bring more attention to those articles. The Manaus article was not merged, it was suppressed, until now, nothing have been done to concluded this non sense merge, and all other schools, have very similar structure.
And as I already told you, for taking photos of SPaulo school, it will take a big effort for not that much return, they did not answer a email that I send, a time ago, about taking photos.
Sorry for the delay, I wrote right after, but for some reason, I didn't saved. -- RTA 08:16, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Rodrigo.Argenton: Oh, ok. Thank you for giving me an update on the situation. As for Manaus, I thought it was merged because the information on the article was moved to a larger article about the history of the city of Manaus, and the standalone school page redirects to the history of Manaus. (the edit history of the Manaus school is still there) WhisperToMe (talk) 12:25, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

Belgium edit
Hi. Yes, I do. What images are you interested in? --Hispalois (talk) 17:26, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi again. Those are all modern buildings so, as Belgium lacks freedom of panorama, their pictures can't be uploaded to Commons. I knew the subterfuge of uploading to Wikipedia in French but not the English one: do they accept non-FoP images over there as well? Another issue is that hanging outside schools in Belgium taking photographs may raise suspicions since the terrorist attacks of Paris last November. That being said, I can get pictures of at least a few of those buildings but I would like to understand better the background of your request. Why are you interested in those buildings? Is this part of a larger project? Do you need a specific feature of each building, general views, aerial views...? --Hispalois (talk) 22:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hello. Yes, indeed, it is great news that Belgium has moved to allow freedom of panorama. I am going to take pictures of at least one of those schools and forward your request to Wikimedia Belgium to find other volunteers. Cheers. --Hispalois (talk) 19:18, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

To Commons - zero local media files edit
Hello WhisperToMe,
There are now 109 Wikipedias that have zero local media files. (meta:List of Wikipedias having zero local media files)
Could you transfer your uploads in Aceh Wikipedia (ace:Special:ListFiles/WhisperToMe) from there to Commons? Or at least add a proper license tag, so that others can use https://tools.wmflabs.org/commonshelper/ . On transfer maybe also change the names of the files from XYZaceh.png to names that are not related to Aceh Wikipedia.
If your files could be deleted in Aceh Wikipedia, then this Wikipedia would be in the group of Wikipedias that have less than 100 local files. 91.9.96.168 11:51, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Helsinki airport edit
Hi! Was at the airport today to take the requested picture. Couldn't get very close to it because of a high fence and security, but since I was already in the area I also took pictures of other buildings. So there are also some of a Catering company, the Jetflite Oy buildings, the Securitas building and the terminal for private flights which I had no idea existed at the other end of the airport area. Managed to get into the empty bus at the same stop as some guy and then we got out at the same stop and since we had exactly the same route until I started taking pictures of the building he disappeared in, it made me feel like crazy stalker girlfriend which is why I didn't try to get closer to the Norra building. I had a hiking group waiting for me and didn't want to get arrested for weird behaviour. - Cecil (talk) 19:42, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

us census 2010 maps upload edit
Hi,
I looked up the us-census enthicity city maps here on commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Race_and_Ethnicity_by_Eric_Fischer) and noticed that most of them are from 2000. Since im not too much of an expert of all of this on commons, though i like to and did use many images of commons for wikipedia, im wondering if you could upload other maps from 2010 as well as you apparently did with the map of Detroit. That would be fantastic. Thanks a lot !--Joobo (talk) 18:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks again for your response Whisper! Since you mentioned the fact that one migh include some newer maps if they are available, i just found that here https://www.flickr.com/photos/walkingsf/with/5560464718/ also some newer Versions from the 2010 Census are available. Does this might help? Greetings --Joobo (talk) 16:14, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

SUST Bereich Bahnen und Schiffe - Monbijoustr. 51 A 3003 Berne edit
You requested a picture of the former offices of the SUST Bereich Bahnen und Schiffe - Monbijoustr. 51 A 3003 Berne. I was there and took a few pictures, but there is definitely nothing to show of (I catched mediocre weather too), the entry to building number 51A is in a backyard and doesn't look to pleasant. What exactly do you want? A picture of the entry, showing the house number "51A"? I also took a picture from the front of the whole building (Seems to be 51, and not 51 A), but I can't tell where exactly the office was located. I can provide a picture of the official sign showing which state department is now in the building, but they have nothing to do with the SUST (It seems to be used by the department of defence right now, SUST belongs to transportation and communication). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmdr Zod (talk • contribs) 21:22, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

I suspect, though, that since you live in Houston, Texas while David Smith lives in Exeter, Devon, that you're not actually David Smith. Based on that, I removed the {{Self}} template and put in {{Geograph}} instead. If my suspicion is wrong then obviously you should revert this change. --bjh21 (talk) 16:47, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
- @Bjh21: That was the correct change - I'm not David Smith and I don't live in England WhisperToMe (talk) 19:45, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Stockholm picture requests edit
Hey, I photographed File:Iran Air Stockholm 2017.jpg and File:Ethiopian airlines Stockholm 2017.jpg. I assume you requested them. It gets dark really early this time of year in Stockholm. --Vera (talk) 13:26, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Date edit
Hi, WhisperToMe can you take a look at this image? The date is not correct and since you were the uploader, your help would be highly appreciated. :) Lotje (talk) 11:33, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
- @Lotje: I don't know the exact date, but it's probably close to 2012. One of the images with the wrong EXIFs may have a real date in the image, and I suppose a bot could convert the images. WhisperToMe (talk) 10:34, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I've updated my talk page with places I'll be going March - June. This Saturday I'll be in Dublin, Georgia. I've already been there and taken photos back in 2016 but if you can think of anything else in particular, please list on my talk page. Thanks. --Mjrmtg (talk) 23:18, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Quality images of Houston edit
Wow, I am bummed there are no quality, valued, or featured images of Houston. Do you know of any to nominate, or someone local who could take some quality photographs of any Houston sites? -Another Believer (talk) 15:23, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Another Believer: I'll be back in Houston for some weeks in August, so I could help in that department if you want me to take certain phots? WhisperToMe (talk) 22:41, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
- Didn't have anything specific in mind. File:IAH George Bush Intercontinental Airport.jpg has since been promoted to QI status, but my comment was just a general one. I'm just surprised there aren't more quality photos of a city as big as Houston. If you're curious about unillustrated articles in general, en:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Harris County, Texas might be helpful. -Another Believer (talk) 17:12, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

Re: Copy of the Ottoman Constitution of 1876 edit
Hello. Unfortunately i don't have a full copy of the Ottoman Constitution. However, i found these on the German Wiki: 1, 2, 3. I think i might be able to find an Arabic Version, but I'm not 100% sure, I'll let you know if i did.
I noticed the question above concerning the Ottoman postcard. I know some Ottoman Turkish, and if you were wondering about the meaning and how the Arabic -Turkish text is written, its: "Ghalata Rikhtimi", which means: Galata's deck. Best--باسم (talk) 09:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- @باسم: Thank you so much! I was looking for people to transcribe Ottoman text (as in write it out so it can be copied and pasted, especially by people who don't know how to type it) WhisperToMe (talk) 12:44, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
Coordinates edit
Hi w2m, your mobile phone seems to have the strange bahviour adding 0,0 coordinates to the photos which leads them to appear in Category:Media with default locations. Have you installed some GPS faker app that maybe does this? --Arnd (talk) 07:03, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Aschroet: I have a VPN I sometimes turn on, especially while I'm in Mainland China. In the US I use a VPN when logging onto Wikipedia (to hide login details from sniffer apps) but I sometimes forget to turn it off.

Ottoman Turkish books edit
Hi WhisperToMe! Here’s the HQ PDF files as promised: Mecelle, Düstur. -- Meisam (talk) 13:26, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: I really thank you from the bottom of my heart! I really appreciate the uploads! WhisperToMe (talk) 14:34, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Let me know if you need any other (en-tr-az-fa) source/references. I may be able to help. Cheers! -- Meisam (talk) 14:49, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: Thanks! I have three things in mind:
- There is a document on Hathi Trust about en:Danube Vilayet here: // If there's a way to get a PDF of that, it would be great. I do not know if it's the Ottoman Turkish version of the French document File:LoiconstitutiveDanubeVilayet.pdf or if it's a different document entirely. If it's different, an Ottoman Turkish version of "Loi constitutive du département formé sous le nom de vilayet du Danube" would be nice too!
- Persian version of the Ottoman Constitution of 1876, which was published from 17 January 1877 in Akhtar
- Ottoman Turkish versions of Law of the Vilayets (1864 and 1867) - French version is at File:Législation ottomane ou Recueil des Aristarchi-Bey Grégoire Tome2.pdf page 271
- WhisperToMe (talk) 15:54, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- That Hathi Trust document is an almanac. I will look around for the documents you asked. -- Meisam (talk) 21:42, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- The constitutive law of vilayet of the Danube seems to be published in en:Takvim-i Vekayi, def’a 773, (7 Cemaziyelevvel 1281/8 Ekim 1864). I’m looking for it.
- I found the Persian version of the Ottoman Constitution in Akhtar. In the newspaper it says: “Because the constitution law is very detailed and it is not possible to include the whole text here, in this issue we just print the translation of the en:Hatt-i humayun about the approval and signing the law…” I will upload the whole archive to the commons asap. -- Meisam (talk) 11:30, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks again! Another law that would be interesting to have: "Author's Rights Act of 1910" (Hakk-ı Telif Kanunu, 2 Düstor 273 (1910), 12 Jamad ul Awal 1328 or 22 May 1910) it seems to be the first copyright code in the empire. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- The Ottoman Constitution in the reprint of the Akhtar newspaper is available here! -- Meisam (talk) 14:51, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you! I contacted the Persian Wikisource here and notified them of this: wikisource:fa:ویکینبشته:دفترخانه#Wikisource_request:_Hatt-i-humayun_of_the_Ottoman_Constitution_of_1876_in_Persian WhisperToMe (talk) 17:05, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Here’s the constitutive law of vilayet of the Danube in Takvim-i Vekayi No. 773. The relevant part has been marked by red (!!) I’ll be busy for a while uploading the whole archive of the Takvim-i Vekayi to the Commons. I’ll look for the rest of the documents you requested afterwards. -- Meisam (talk) 12:07, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I am adding that document to the articles about the Danube Vilayet! Now at en:Danube Vilayet - WhisperToMe (talk) 13:43, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: - This page from a French language Ottoman law book states that the Turkish version of the "Vilayet Law" is in Düstur Volume I, page 608. I wonder if it's in the copy of the Dustur uploaded to the Commons WhisperToMe (talk) 07:00, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Found more info on this page: Akiba, Jun "From Kadı to Naib: Reorganization of the Ottoman Sharia Judiciary in the Tanzimat Period" in Imer, Colin , ed. Frontiers of Ottoman Studies, 1, London/New York: I.B. Tauris, p. 43 - CITED: p. 59
- It says the vilayet law was first published in 1864 in Düstur Volume I, pages 517-538, and the 1867 version was printed in the Düstur Volume I, pages 608-624. It also mentioned "TV 773" but I do not know what it means. Young's page mentions "7 Djem. II 1281" while Jun Akiba's article says: "7 Cümadelahir 1281" (Young uses 8 November 1864 and Akiba says 7 November 1864). I'm guessing the French abbreviation "7 Djem. II" means "Cümadelahir", and this would be Jumaada al-Akhir a.k.a. Jumada al-Thani, correct?
- WhisperToMe (talk) 07:32, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- The version we have on the commons, has been published before serialization of the volumes. But, there’s no such a thing in the book! Although, I found a 1872/3 set of Dustur which includes it in page 608. I have to clean-up the files before uploading them to the Commons.
- “TV 773” is Takvim-i Vekayi No. 773.
- Yes! "7 Djem. II 1281" must be the same as "7 Cümadelahir 1281". -- Meisam (talk) 08:46, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for the help! I added notes to en:Jumada al-Thani talking about the Turkish dates. Also it seems like the 1864 law is the Danube law, and was a draft, and the 1867 "Law of the Vilayets" law is the final version, right?
- Also Cümadelahir is the same as "Cemaziyelahir" (modern Turkish), right?
- WhisperToMe (talk) 09:08, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- I’m not sure about it (Danube law being a draft)! I have to read the text and compare to be able to answer it (it has to wait for now!)
- Also, for these kind of claims please use a proper source (e.g. dictionary, etc.) These dictionaries may be useful for you
- -- Meisam (talk) 10:09, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Here's the Vilayet Law in Düstur 1st series, Vol.1 p 608. I hope it is helpful! -- Meisam (talk) 13:27, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- It is! Thank you! I am also making good use of the dictionaries as I'm citing them for the vocabulary. Previously the ENwiki articles on Islamic months mentioned Arabic names but not Turkish ones, so people seeing the Turkish terms would have gotten confused. By citing and adding Turkish names people reading about the empire will get a clearer picture! I appreciate what you've found :-D WhisperToMe (talk) 16:03, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- BTW I found some reviews of Corps de droit ottoman and one reviewer noted that it does get spellings of some Turkish names wrong, though he characterized it as a minor thing, and he said some of the spelling mistakes were common (I can send you the review if you like) WhisperToMe (talk) 17:39, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Also do you know if the draft comments on the Ottoman Constitution in http://dergiler.ankara.edu.tr/dergiler/19/821/10435.pdf ( page 603 (PDF p. 47/78) until 631 (PDF p. 75/78)) were previously published in a way that makes them public domain in Turkey? WhisperToMe (talk) 17:56, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- It is! Thank you! I am also making good use of the dictionaries as I'm citing them for the vocabulary.

- Hi again! Please ping me if you are leaving a message for me in your own talk page.
- I couldn’t find any evidence of these drafts being published anywhere else. But the authors of these drafts has been dead for more than 70 years and some of it seems to be already on Commons (for example: File:Entwurf Kanun-i Esasi 75–83.jpg) Turkish users may be able to help in finding a HQ scan of them.
- BTW, I had already upload 2 versions of the Redhouse's Turkish Dictionary to the commons (1, 2). Please search for the books before uploading them (and check this cat) and also upload the highest quality available. -- Meisam (talk) 22:35, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: Thanks for the notice! Honestly I didn't even realize that copies of the dictionaries are already there. Anyway I changed the usage on ENwiki to your copy, so the inferior copy can be speedied.
- Is it always the case that one needs to download the original JP2s or TIFs and make a PDF out of them? If so, what software do you use to make the PDFs?
- As for the draft comments, I made a request at tr:Vikipedi:Danışma_masası#Uploading_draft_comments_on_the_Ottoman_Constitution_of_1876?. Hope this helps!
- WhisperToMe (talk) 06:57, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
- I found that the PDFSam program I'm using won't let me build PDF files (without paying extra) out of the original JP2s... Also the fre online PDF makers won't handle JP2 files. WhisperToMe (talk) 10:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
- Usually the pdfs on the archive have been compressed and/or put through the OCR (which doesn’t work properly on the Ottoman Turkish language). I always download the original scans and merge them into a pdf without further compressing myself.
- I’m using an academic service which runs the Adobe Acrobat pro on an enterprise server for image to PDF conversion. If you are looking for a free software, ImageMagick should be able to do it. -- Meisam (talk) 10:57, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: Thanks for the tip! I found a Python program called img2pdf and it seems to be having some results: Compare File:Ottoman constitution of 1876.pdf to File:OttomanConstEngNew.pdf (JP2 archive at https://archive.org/download/jstor-2212668/2212668_jp2.zip )
- Also I checked File:LoiconstitutiveDanubeVilayet.pdf and found original TIFs for that. File:LoiconstitutiveDanubeVilayetnew.pdf has a much sharper resolution though some of the pages (the book cover) don't show up in the new one. If you like you can judge whether the book cover/etc need to be ported over or not, and/or whether some pages should be snipped.
- As for three PDFs for larger books (hundreds of pages) I might need help from another user with those as imagemagick seems to hang if I try to convert a book w hundreds of pages.
- WhisperToMe (talk) 20:56, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
- The quality of the File:OttomanConstEngNew.pdf looks fine to me. If the text is OCR-readable, can you please put it through an OCR software? In this way, the Commons’ search engine can read and index the content of the documents too. BTW, I would say for the English texts printed on a white paper, having the absolute best quality of the scan is not a big deal. Most OCR applications can easily read the text and nothing is lost with a bit of compression.
- About the File:LoiconstitutiveDanubeVilayetnew.pdf: You can always add the missing pages from the processed pdf to your HQ one but I can’t judge that. -- Meisam (talk) 08:43, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
- BTW, the problem with the missing cover pages seems to be limited to the books digitized by the Google! -- Meisam (talk) 09:48, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: Thanks for the tips! For the Danube book I think I'll find a way to splice the missing pages onto the HQ PDF. As for the Ottoman Constitution, I put it on Wikisource here: wikisource:Ottoman constitution of 1876 in English and French
- Also: I wonder in which issues of the Takvim i Vekayi and/or the Dustur the Nizâmnâme-i Millet-i Ermeniyân occurs in?
- In addition a copy of the 1876 Constitution is in Düstūr 1st series (tertïb-i evvel), Volume 4, Pages 4-20. I am interested in linking this document with the other copies of the constitution.
- WhisperToMe (talk) 01:52, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- With a quick look, I couldn't find where it has been published. I'll check it out thoroughly later. BTW, The file you have uploaded is actually an extract from the Düstur Vol. 4. Here’s the original booklet. -- Meisam (talk) 13:55, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: Thanks for the update! As for the constitution, I'll link together the PDFs! Anyway I read that the appendix of this book has a faxed copy of the Armenian millet constitution in the Armenian language, but it was published in Turkey: Artinian, Vartan. Osmanlı Devleti’nde Ermeni Anayasası’nın Doğuşu 1839-1863, tr. Zülal Kılıç (Istanbul: Aras Yayıncılık, 2004). I already have a scan for the Armenian one for that, but there is also a version in Armeno-Turkish (Turkish in Armenian characters) in the appendix and I'm interested in getting a copy of the scan, unless/until an HQ scan is made. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:22, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: If you're busy, that's fine. When you have time, if you are interested in finding copies of en:Servet (newspaper) (Ottoman Turkish) and en:Anatoli (newspaper) (Karamanli Turkish) that could be a neat thing to do as well. I just started those articles and if you know where to find archived copies, I'd much appreciate it! WhisperToMe (talk) 09:36, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
- I’ll be busy for a while but I will look them up afterwards. -- Meisam (talk) 08:00, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

- @Meisam: Quick question: I found a book saying the Armenian regulations in Ottoman Turkish were in "Dustur, Istanbul, 1289, II, pp. 938-961". Isn't this one already uploaded? WhisperToMe (talk) 23:58, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- You are right. It seems to be here! -- Meisam (talk) 08:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Meisam: Thanks! I made a split version of the file covering the law only at File:ArmeniannatlconstinOttomanTurkishfromDustur.pdf and it's linked to from each language version (so far no Turkish version Wikipedia article about the law exists). The law had a different name in Turkish compared to the Armenian/French/English names, so this is noted. WhisperToMe (talk) 11:45, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- You are right. It seems to be here! -- Meisam (talk) 08:29, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Ottoman Turkish on Commons edit
Regarding Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive_73#Request_to_add_Ottoman_Turkish_name_label_to_text, Ottoman Turkish label was just added to Commons. See phab:T230480 for more details.

Important message for file movers edit
A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect
user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.
Possible acceptable uses of this ability:
- To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
- To perform file name swaps.
- When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)
Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.
The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect
user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

- @Solomon203: @EugeneZelenko: Hi! I had intended to photograph the office and not any particular ad. Anyhow I saw what I believe is a cached version of the image and I wonder if it's OK if I cropped out the image of the flight attendant and only had the office exterior (the plain red part w the AirAsia logo) remaining.

Need help with category naming edit
I just uploaded 25 photos of Radium Springs. I noticed on Wikipedia there was an entry for "Radium Springs, Georgia" as an unincorporated community which also had the category of "Seven Natural Wonders of Georgia". I think the Wikipedia Entry has too many categories and there should be an entry for the Springs by itself but I don't know much about Wikipedia. I see articles over categorized over there and that bothers me. On commons I created a category called "Radium Springs (Georgia)" for the springs and a category called "Radium Springs, Georgia" for the unincorporated community. "Radium Springs (Georgia)" will be in the "Radium Springs, Georgia" category. Does this sound good to you? Thanks for your help. --Mjrmtg (talk) 20:43, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Mjrmtg: Thanks for the question! I was thinking the springs would be "Radium Springs" (without disambiguation in the title) as natural features like "Cape May" (the peninsula) are such while the city is "Cape May, New Jersey". I can check the MOS just to be sure. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:59, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- I didn't know if any other state might have a "Radium Springs", let me know if you want me to move it to that. --Mjrmtg (talk) 21:22, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Mjrmtg: en:Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#Natural_features links to guidelines for lakes and rivers, and I presume that would mean springs as well. If there were multiple "Radium Springs" as in the geographic features, "Radium Springs (Georgia)" would be best. If there's only one I'd use "Radium Springs" and move it to that, with "Radium Springs, Georgia" being the town. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:28, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

- I took a photo of Northeast Middle School today with the correct signage and put it on the "Northeast Campus, Tift County High School" article. Could you move the wikipedia article "Northeast Campus, Tift County High School" to "Northeast Middle School"? Thanks. --Mjrmtg (talk) 21:35, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Mjrmtg: There wouldn't be sufficient notability for Northeast Middle School to have its own article due to a lack of secondary sourcing: the essay en:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Schools/Article_advice#Notability explains how notability of schools works. Also I'm not sure if en:Northeast Campus, Tift County High School was ever considered a separate school from the high school or not, and if not that could be merged into en:Tift County High School. If you like I could start a discussion with the Schools WikiProject WhisperToMe (talk) 01:37, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

We need your feedback! edit
Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!
I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.
We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.
Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.
Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Regarding this request, I discovered that this school is somewhere along the bus route 359 (at Jingshun Dongjie / 京顺东街), but recently I have several Olympic flights to photograph, so I'll try when there were no special flights at PEK.--N509FZ Talk 前置,有座!Front engine with seats! 14:20, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Date of File:BestESHouston.JPG edit
Hi. When did you make BestESHouston.JPG? The Exif data says 2031. Perhaps that's supposed to be 2013? TilmannR (talk) 19:16, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @TilmannR: Thank you for asking! It was taken at the latest in 2014. Several of my photos uploaded around this time had wrong EXIF dates. Some of those photos have LED displays which state real dates, and I wonder if a computer program could calculate the real dates. WhisperToMe (talk) 15:43, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Calculating the real dates would certainly be possible, if we can figure out the real date of one of those images and assuming that the camera's date is just off by a fixed amount.
- Based on SouthwestInnFire01.JPG we know that "2031-07-19" is between 2013-05-31 and 2014-09-04. KFCandPizzaHutinShanghai.JPG has an LED display, but I can't read Chinese. TilmannR (talk) 20:27, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
