Hallo Howcheng, why did you remove the category Satellite pictures of Hawaii? The image shows the whole island and not only the erupting Kilauea. I thought that this "over categorizing" is allowed. Warm regards --Ras67 (talk) 21:19, 11 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ras67: This is not the type of over-categorization that OVERCAT discusses. If, for example, there was a smaller island off the coast of Hawaii and was included in the picture, then you could also put it in Category:Satellite pictures of Hawaii as well. Does that make sense? howcheng {chat} 03:43, 12 June 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Daily gallery updater has failed on User:Howcheng/Recent uploads/Hawaii[edit]

Hello. This message is to inform you that a daily gallery in your userspace, User:Howcheng/Recent uploads/Hawaii, has failed. Due to software limitations, the bot has a hard upper-limit of about 6000 files per day (including overflow galleries), while your gallery had 19444 files.

This usually happens because a gallery is too broad, encompassing too many subcategories. Please review the logs here and request that a subcategory be excluded, or narrow your category choice(s).

Please make your request for removal within 4 days, or your gallery will be subject to removal.

ommons:Deletion requests/File:Interview 16 October 1957 of Dale Whittaker and Wesley B. Harding re Sputnik-1 observations with recording of the satellite.wav[edit]

Clearly I am not a wikipedia power user. I just want this historical interview to be available. I've reached out to KATL for permission/a license/whatever I need. I would appreciate a clue about how one would obtain and document a license from a third party. I've looked at the CC page and figure that the Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International. But, if I do get their agreement, how do I satisfy you that I really have it? Do I need to have them sign a printed copy of the license and put up a scan? Seriously, after reading for about an hour, I really don't know how to (formally) get a license and how to document it on the link/file. thank you Ben — Preceding unsigned comment added by Volga89 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 29 September 2018 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Aloha, The image you flagged was a image I took with my cell phone. Yes, it is the same image all over the web - because we cleared it for them to use. I have the original on my cell phone. Pls advise. Allanbcool (talk) 11:10, 31 January 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Allanbcool: OK, from my end I can't tell the difference between you having the image on your phone and you downloading it from the Internet (especially because you are a new user), so sorry about that. Is it possible for you to upload the full-size version? That way it will be larger than anything else available on the Internet. Also, please go to https://tools.wmflabs.org/relgen/ and you can declare yourself as the copyright holder of the image. I've never used the tool myself, but it's supposed to be pretty easy.

Reinstating Images[edit]

Moved here from User talk:Howcheng/Archive2.Odysseus1479 (talk) 02:54, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. I received a notification from you that several images I uploaded last month were removed due to copyright policy violations. I work for a company that has several clients in the vacation rental industry and they have given us permission to upload those images that they provided and credit them for it. Is there any way to get them re-added to wikimedia commons? Would I need to get declarations from our clients? If our clients somehow provided copyrighted material without our knowledge, please let me know.

I added the file names below for the sake of reference:

File:Rocks by the Ocean.jpg File:Scenic Maui Beach.jpg File:Bay pool in Hawaii.jpg File:Pool and flowers.jpg File:Iron Boardwalk in Hawaii.jpg File:Jamaican Ocean View.jpg File:Jamaica Shoreline.jpg File:Jamaica Sea.jpg File:Jamaican Water.jpg File:Torrey pines view.jpg File:Sunset over California.jpg File:San Diego Sunset.jpg File:Surfer kid.jpg File:USS Midway in Harbor.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by BizWitwiki (talk • contribs) 00:55, 10 April 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@BizWitwiki: Hi, they have to agree to allow anyone to use these images for any purpose (including commercial ones): please read https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 for details. If that's acceptable to them, then you may upload the images again, and then they need to go to https://tools.wmflabs.org/relgen/, which will log their permissions.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks![edit]

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at Wikimedia Commons.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].

Thank you!

Please participate in the Universal Code of Conduct consultation on Wikimedia Commons![edit]

Dear Howcheng

Thank you for your hard work to create the sum of all knowledge that is freely sharable to every single human being across the world. As our diverse community grows, we need a guideline that will help all of our work collectively and constructively where everyone feels safe, welcomed, and part of a team. That is why the Wikimedia movement is working on establishing a global guideline called the Universal Code of Conduct, often referred to as UCoC.

After the months-long policy consultation, we have prepared a policy (available in many languages) that has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. We’re currently in the second phase of the process. During this round of consultation, we want to discuss the implementation of this policy. As a member of the functionary team of Wikimedia Commons, your opinion on enforcement is of great value. We want to hear from you on how this policy can be enforced on the Wikimedia Commons community and what might be needed to do so. There are a few enforcement questions so you can easily outline your answers based on them. Please do not hesitate to bring any more questions/challenges you think are not yet discussed.

The discussion is taking place on Commons:Universal Code of Conduct consultation. You can also share your thoughts by replying to this message (Please ping me so I get notified), posting your message on my talk page. I am aware that some thoughts cannot be expressed publicly, so you can always share your opinion by emailing me as well.

As a valued member of the Commons community, please share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences that relate to UCoC. Let us know what needs to be improved so we can build a more friendly and cooperative space to increase editor engagement and retention of new users.

Wikimedia projects are governed by you. So, it is you who needs to step up to ensure a safe, comfortable, and pleasant working environment.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you! Wikitanvir (WMF) (talk) 10:18, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please take a short survey regarding UCoC[edit]

Hello Howcheng,

I would like to inform you that we now have a survey in place to take part in the UCoC consultation. It is not a long one and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. You can take the survey even if you have already participated in the on-wiki consultation. It has a different set of questions and allows you to participate anonymously and privately.

As a member of the Commons functionaries, your opinion is especially essential. Please click here to participate in the survey.

You are still welcome to participate in the on-wiki discussions. If you prefer you can have your say by sending me an email. You can also drop me an email if you want to have a one-to-one chat.

How we will see unregistered users[edit]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hello,

I am messaging you because a contest for a sound logo for Wikimedia is being developed and your opinion as a Wikimedia Commons admin is appreciated. My team would like to know if it is possible for the top finalist sound logos in the contest to have attribution temporarily hidden from public view until all the votes are final?

PD-US no notice[edit]

Hi

When you say "PD-US no notice" is not applicable to some photos, what do you mean exactly? What should be the evidence that a picture is published with no copyright notice tag in United States? What should be the reason to believe a photo is published with "PD-US no notice"?

@Shkuru Afshar: Here's the problem: we can't tell if there was a copyright statement printed on the back of the photo, or if it was included in a book or other publication where a copyright statement could be applied to everything in it. File:Robert Mitchum and Theresa Russell 1976.jpg is an example of how you can show that there was no copyright notice: this was a publicity photo that was distributed by itself; we have scans of both the front and back and we can see that there is no copyright notice. Something like this is required. I hope that makes sense. howcheng {chat} 07:44, 14 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, You closed that as deleted, but the file is still here. Thanks, Yann (talk) 18:22, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Yann: Thanks. There were some API errors happening when I was deleting. I thought I had caught all of them, but I guess not. howcheng {chat} 21:02, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've noticed that you've closed the deletion request at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Haedong-ro, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - panoramio.jpg as deleted, but from both direct observation and log record, it seems that you didn't actually delete that image. I would be grateful if you can follow up with the issue, thanks!廣九直通車 (talk) 06:28, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello Howcheng,

soemthing seems to have gone wrong here with the deletion of the file: While the actual files are gone, the file page is still there. Looks like some technical problem. Would you please have a look? Regards --Rosenzweig τ 08:23, 3 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
