Uploading a group of files

Using Windows, I need to upload groups of photos of the same subject, so the categories and descriptions will be the same, and the name will be the same except for a sequence number.

I used to use Vicuna for this, but I can no longer get it to work. I was advised to download the vicuna zip file, go to the bin folder and run the vicuna.bat file. When I do this, Windows doesn't like it, but I tell it to run anyway. Then a command line screen comes up for a fraction of a second, then disappears, without doing anything.

Is there a way to get Vicuna to work? Is there a Windows alternative that does the same thing?

I need something like an EXE or BAT file to run. I can't run Python code. If I am taken to a list of folders on something like GitHub, I am completely baffled.

What can I do to upload a group of related photos that have most of the information in common? Bubba73 (talk) 06:40, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you start the vicuna.bat file from the file manager by clicking the mouse? Try opening a command shell and enter vicuna.bat from the prompt. You will either see the actual error message, or the program will ask you for some input parameters to run.

Or you can use the Upload wizard. C.Suthorn (@Life_is@no-pony.farm - p7.ee/p) (talk) 08:41, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You need to update Java on your computer. Vicuna was compiled for Java Classes Version 55 or above. The Java Runtime on your computer is for Java Classes up to version 52. Java/Windows is supposed to autoupdate Java, but that has not happened on your computer. You will need to update Java manually, then Vicuna and other Java-Software will run again.

Request to delete the image I uploaded

How do I overwrite the article and add the image. When I want to upload it know there is a warning the image is already uploaded in wiki files and I cannot add it to the article. Korntrans (talk) 13:09, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is a really confusing. It sounds like you are not doing the best process to do this. As Korntrans says, this is your file, so you can simply overwrite it.

Go to File:TGD cover.jpg. Near the bottom of the page (under the File History) you will see a link captioned "Upload a new version of this file". Click it. Upload your replacement file. That should then appear in the article (though there may be a delay due to caching).

Also: for this sort of thing, it is probably wise to go through the COM:VRT process to get a ticket that clarifies that you are, indeed, the author of the image. - Jmabel ! talk 18:04, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use help

I have added a number of derivative images that need more information in order not to be deleted. I would like to claim 'fair use' along with listing the source. Please help to do this properly so that the images are not removed. Images add so much important context, and so many either don't know how to upload images or all of them are owned by private corporations at high fees. Help me to make the proper 'fair use' claim so that the images can be retained.ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 18:33, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ProfessorKaiFlai Fair use is not allowed on this website, Wikimedia Commons. It is allowed on the English Wikipedia, but its requirements are fairly restrictive. If it meets the requirements, you can upload an image to the English Wikipedia as "fair use" at w:en:Wikipedia:File upload wizard by clicking the "upload a non-free file" button. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:45, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks - unfortunately, usually institutions and corporates own most of the images.

I think what I will start doing is adding a link to images under External links. That seems to be the only way to make the image part of the Wikipedia record in most of these cases. ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 18:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Head of cane pic

This is the head of the cane of one Frederick Abberline, (8 January 1843 – 10 December 1929), British chief inspector for the London Metropolitan Police. He carved what he considered the likeness of Jack the Ripper into it.

The cane is owned by College of Policing and the picture is by them, source page states "© 2024 College of Policing". Can it be considered public domain for Commons-purposes anyway? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:20, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do I replace large files?

I have a Wikimedia page with a JPG file that is larger than 100Mb. I want to post a replacement image, but I can't figure out how. I originally uploaded it using "Upload Wizard", but when I click on "Upload a new version of this file" I get taken to an "Upload file" page that doesn't allow uploads greater than 100Mb. So how do I upload a replacement JPG that's larger than 100Mb? Pixel8tor (talk) 02:52, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pixel8tor: I'm not sure where Upload Wizard enters into what you are describing, so I might be misunderstanding you.

If I understand correctly, you are trying to overwrite an existing file. May I assume you want to overwrite a file you initially uploaded? In general, there are very few cases where you should overwrite someone else's file, and my guess is that your account does not have the privileges to do that.

Assuming I've got that right: on the file page for the file you want to replace, right next to "Upload a new version of this file" it should say "(chunked upload)". Click on the latter, not the former, to upload a file over 100Mb. - Jmabel ! talk 06:55, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your quick reply. You are understanding me correctly, I want to replace one of my uploads. Unfortunately, there is no "(chunked upload)" link next to "Upload a new version of this file" on my screen. To be clear, I do see the "Upload a new version of this file" link, but there is *no* "(chunked upload)" link. Pixel8tor (talk) 12:48, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pixel8tor: User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js is not available by default. You have to enable it with adding mw.loader.load('/w/index.php?title=User:Rillke/bigChunkedUpload.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); in your Javascript page. Please see Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering, and then "Custom JavaScript". Yann (talk) 13:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks guys. I put it in the "Shared CSS/JavaScript for all skins:" section - seems to work. Or is it better in a different section? Pixel8tor (talk) 02:21, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pixel8tor It is your choice, really; that's where I chose to put it (common.js), as I want to be able to use it in every skin. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:37, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well I thought it was working but at the end I'm getting this error "FAILED: abusefilter-warning: ⧼abusefilter-warning-overwriting-artwork⧽". And the image is stuck in my Stash. So how do I prevent the "overwriting artwork" error? And is there a way to publish the file from the Stash, or is that file unusable? Pixel8tor (talk) 23:33, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pixel8tor: Log says it gave you a warning, not that it disallowed. Was there no button available with something like "Ignore warning and save anyway"? - Jmabel ! talk 04:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jmabel: The message was "FAILED: abusefilter-warning: ⧼abusefilter-warning-overwriting-artwork⧽", so it *FAILED*! It wasn't just a warning. And no, the script has no way to "ignore" the failure. Pixel8tor (talk) 16:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pixel8tor: Also, that was File:Leonardo da Vinci - Mona Lisa (Louvre, Paris)FullResFXD1.tif, which is not JPG. In addition, someone wrote in the notes "Doesn't work with stashupload", so you may not be able to do that with bigChunkedUpload in any case. Which of the acceptable situations in MediaWiki:Abusefilter-warning-overwriting-artwork applies? — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:12, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff G.: I'm not sure what you're asking, plus I find that page *very* confusing! I'm trying to "replace" an image file that *I* created, that's > 100MB, with a revised version that has much better color. It's as simple as that. I've done that successfully using the "Upload a new version of this file" link with other files. But, as you know, that doesn't allow file sizes > 100MB, so I tried "bigChunkedUpload.js". Which implies it would automatically overwrite my original upload. Instead I get the "FAILED: abusefilter-warning: ⧼abusefilter-warning-overwriting-artwork⧽" message and the file doesn't get published. What went wrong? Pixel8tor (talk) 16:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pixel8tor: It sounds from what Jeff G. wrote like you tried to overwrite a JPEG with a TIFF. Did you? If so, that is never going to work. Upload the TIFF under a different file name. - Jmabel ! talk 19:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to replace a TIFF with a TIFF. Pixel8tor (talk) 02:07, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't tell if you're trying to be funny, or you're trolling me. In either case it doesn't help solve my problem. If you don't have any constructive ideas for solving my issue of replacing my large file, please refrain from posting. Thanks. Pixel8tor (talk) 02:08, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to upload image files in NEF format?

The current policy of Commons does not allow uploading files in NEF format, so I currently uploaded it to Google drive. Can you upload a high quality converted free-form image, thanks! Also licensed under CC-BY-4.0. Thanks! Fumikas Sagisavas (talk) 14:56, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fumikas Sagisavas: I got the access to your NEFs. I'll process them and will put them back into your Google Drive (assuming that I have sufficient rights for that) for you to upload. I'd like to avoid uploading them here myself, as I did not learn what are the depicted motifs, so choosing sensible filenames is not really possible. I hope that you'll be OK with JPEG (TIFF is also an option, but that'll make for much longer transfer times from my connection). Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 20:22, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using Purchased Getty Images

I saw the previous answer about not using Getty Images, even if public domain. However, what if I purchase the image in question? I noticed that (1) some of the licenses allow for noncommercial use upon purchase (including for educational purposes and (2) there is also an option to license the image to another entity altogether (e.g., Wikimedia??). Please confirm, thank you in advance! Zurkhardo (talk) 16:48, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zurkhardo: That's most probably not OK, unless the image is in the public domain for some other reason. Noncommercial licenses are not allowed on Commons. Yann (talk) 17:00, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Being one purchaser of a license to the image does not give you the right to relicense it, any more than owning a copy of a book lets you do the same. - Jmabel ! talk 18:55, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zurkhardo: What makes you think that any license offered by Getty Images is free enough to be usable here? — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I may be misreading / misunderstanding their License Agreement: The images I'm interested in are "Rights-Managed" and state they can be used for "Newspapers and magazines (except for covers), editorial broadcasts, documentaries, non-commercial websites, blogs and social media posts illustrating matters of public interest" and that "Anyone in your organization can use it an unlimited number of times for up to 15 years, worldwide, with uncapped indemnification". Getty Images Zurkhardo (talk) 14:55, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia licenses are irrevocable and exist in perpetuity, so a license with a 15-year term is invalid. There is also the problem of what constitutes "your organization," which would imply that the postulated license is not usable outside of Wikimedia projects, which again is not a valid license on WM projects. I'm confident Getty would object, as would Commons. Acroterion (talk) 17:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Talloaks2024: Hi, and welcome. I regret to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/281. Please read Mediawiki:Abusefilter-disallowed-pdf-new-user-upload again. Also, you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload a pdf image as a new user, and Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg image as a new user. Such uploads of pdf and smaller jpg images are not allowed at all. You indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a pdf image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including any metadata, but if you were not the original image designer or photographer, that person may need to license it on their official website or social media, or send the image and permission via VRT with a carbon copy to you. In addition, any non-jpg raster image will look fuzzy when scaled down (due to design decisions discussed in phab:T192744) or jaggy when scaled up, so you may want to upload svg or jpg versions, too. If you can't get a compliant license, the image may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid filter 153, but you will run into Special:AbuseFilter/281 until you have Autopatrol.

Source url

I am uploading icons from Arcticons icon pack. I already uploaded 3,612 files from it. The icons are under CC BY-SA 4.0 as stated at the bottom of the main repository page. Someone tag some of my uploads as no permission because I put the source url as the url of the latest release on github which does not mention the license itself. I did this as the pack is regularly updated and the icons could change at any time. They told me I should edit the files to add source that mentions the license directly.

Doubts about adding two photos

I was thinking about adding photos to the wikipedia article of composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. I saw two but I have doubts if they should be included, and I would greatly appreciate some guidance. The first picture is this one from the Library of Congress. According to this description, the photographer has authorized use of her photographs under a Creative Commons CC BY-NC-ND license, which if I am not wrong is not acceptable to include in Wikipedia Commons. The second is this one, which comes from the composer's own press kit. Would it be appropiate to add it? I am unsure of the copyright status of press kits. Thanks for the help beforehand! NeoGaze (talk) NeoGaze (talk) 00:45, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NeoGaze On the first, per Commons:Licensing#Well-known_licenses you're correct, that's out. On the second, the only clear statement is "Photo by Bill Keefrey" and that's not good enough, "we" need the license clearly stated. If you want, you can mail her/her rep and ask them to add it on that page, you can point them to Wikipedia:A picture of you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:21, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help finding or adding photo from British Library

Hello and thanks for your patience as I feel I'm losing my mind.

As part of my work on English Wikisource, I am currently transcribing and proofreading the 1611 edition of the King James Bible. I am presently trying to obtain a better version of the image at en:wikisource:Page:BibleKJV1611-001.pdf/76. This is a map by John Speed done for the 1611 edition of the KJV. I have found a few variants of this map already on commons, such as File:Canaan..._Begun_-_by_Mr_John_More_;_continued_and_finished_by_John_Speede_-_btv1b8491520b.jpg, File:John Speed, Canaan (FL36012616 3911705).jpg, and File:John Speed, Canaan (FL45605174 3942061).jpg. However, these are other versions of this exact map, and not good enough for use on this specific project. I have found the most reliable way to identify this *specific* image is by identifying one in black and white, looking at the "sea monster" in the center, which in the correct version is somewhat dog-like and faces the reader's left, and of course verifying that it says "1611" in the center bottom.

I have found a good-quality reproduction of this image at the British Library, shelfmark "Maps.*695.(2)". I have tried to find if this exact image is already in commons by searching for this shelfmark and in the category Category:Images from the British Library Mechanical Curator collection and subcategories. I've also looked at the British Library's Flickr page, but as you can see, these collections are both enormous and very difficult to search through. I have a persistent identifier for the image I need, and yet I cannot find it. I am trying to upload this image according to the standards set by the project Commons:British Library/Mechanical Curator collection, but that project seems to be more or less abandoned.

I am asking for help in one of the following ways:

Locating a copy of this image already on wikimedia commons, so I can appropriately categorize it and include it on the Wikisource project
Finding a high-quality copy of this image from the British Library in a way that has a clear free license or is public domain (ie from its flickr account, as the normal 'checkout' process on the BL's website does not grant an unlimited free license for use, despite the image {probably} being PD)
Locating another high quality image of this two-paged map, that is an adequate reproduction of the illustration as it originally appears in the 1611 scan linked above. Another, similar image is inadequate for the standards of English Wikisource. OR....
Giving me assurance that despite appearances, I can just download the image through the BL's normal "checkout" process and upload it here as an image in the public domain, despite BL's default non-free license.

Please help me. I'm a fairly experienced commons user, but dealing with massive pre-existing collections is always a pain, British copyright makes no sense to me, and Flickr's search is broken beyond repair. Thank you! Mathmitch7 (talk) 18:58, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mathmitch7: If the image is clearly in the public domain, we (Commons) don't really care about the provenance of a particular copy. In particular, it is not our job to verify that you obeyed the British Library's user licensing agreement. On the other hand, if they were to sanction you for breaking their ULA, that would not be our affair, either. - Jmabel ! talk 06:55, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Resolving this, I have uploaded a full-resolution image, File:Maps.*695.(2).jpg. Mathmitch7 (talk) 00:36, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure we should say the file was "provided by" the British Library if they, in fact, may consider this a EULA violation. {{Institution:British Library}} is fine, though, but I think I'd just link the specific page. @Andrew Gray: as the person who created Template:British Library image, I'd welcome your thoughts here. Also Pinging @Mike Peel who added Category:Uploaded by the British Library to that template. - Jmabel ! talk 18:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - I added that category for WMUK, but I can't remember the exact contact there. Pinging @Richard Nevell (WMUK): - in general I think this is a good question to ask to Wikimedia UK, since they're now based in an office in the British Library. Thanks.

AI upscaling

I'd say just revert. Have a look at what it did to where Ephraim's hand meets his mother's face. And people (User:Kattimattinen, in this case) should not be overwriting other people's uploads with things like this.

About P. Ramlee

1. P. Ramlee (1929–1973) was a Malaysian film star and singer, but before 1964, he mostly worked in Singapore (making films). If I want to upload photos of P. Ramlee from before 1964, should I follow the copyright laws of Malaysia or Singapore?

2. Can everyone riefly explain Singapore's copyright law?

3. Regarding early P. Ramlee films (which can be found on YouTube), if the copyright has expired, can they be uploaded freely? 2402:1980:244:D23C:5CA:5CB:C2CF:21FA 16:52, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Singapore

I am reaching out to inquire about the copyright status of the video titled "Lee Kuan Yew's 1984 National Day Rally Speech," which was uploaded on July 30, 2024. According to the copyright information on the page, it is marked as being in the public domain in the United States. However, I have concerns about whether the video truly qualifies as public domain, especially since it was first published in 1984.

As per the copyright laws of Singapore, it seems that the copyright for this video may not have expired yet. Given that the copyright protection period for such works typically lasts for 50 years after publication or first broadcast, it appears that this video might still be under copyright protection in Singapore and other countries, possibly until 2034.

Could you kindly clarify how this video qualifies for public domain status, particularly regarding its copyright status in Singapore and internationally?

Thank you for your assistance. 2001:D08:E6:D35B:5CA:5CB:C2CF:21FA 07:01, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2001:D08:E6:D35B:5CA:5CB:C2CF:21FA: Please see the transitional provisions (sections 205 and following) of the Copyright Act of 1987 of Singapore, in particular section 222a. The two templates in the description page of the file describe why it is in the public domain in Singapore and in the United States. It is outside the practice of Commons to search for you the status of the file in the hundreds of other jurisdictions in the world. -- Asclepias (talk) 13:37, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Thehistorianisaac: For simple criterion-1 renamings like this, you probably just need to wait till a filemover next looks at the category, which I would expect to take a few hours at most.

To insert an image in an English Wikipedia page from a Russian Wikipedia page

Hi, I'm writing an English wikipedia page about a person P.E. El'yasberg. There is a picture of him in the corresponding Russian wikipedia page https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%AD%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%8F%D1%81%D0%B1%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B3,_%D0%9F%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BB_%D0%95%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 . Could I use it in the English wikipedia page legally? If so, how can I do it? I tried with inserting directly the filename "П. Е. Эльясберг.jpg" but it didn't work. Do I need to download and reupload it? If so, how can I determine the copyright status of it, as the link inserted by the previous uploader is already not accessable http://www.kik-sssr.ru/0.6.5_NII-4_Eliasberg.htm

Thank you. Arrivedercigrazie (talk) 13:59, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Arrivedercigrazie: presumably yes (by downloading from ru-wiki and uploading directly to en-wiki). en-wiki typically allows one non-free image of a deceased person if no free image is available. You will need to read en:Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline and you will need to use en:Template:Non-free use rationale.

Note that although I have answered here, none of this involves Commons, which does not allow any non-free use. Please do not upload the image to Commons. - Jmabel ! talk 20:59, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Blurry image not used in any article

I came across the file File:Moto-phone.png while editing the article it was supposed to be added to, en:Moto G54 5G. Someone else removed it from the article because it's too blurry and low-resolution - they're not wrong, IMO. If an image is seemingly too low-quality to be used for any purpose, and it's not being used in any articles, does Commons have any policy that recommends deleting it? -- numbermaniac (talk) 15:07, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A policy upon which you could base a deletion request is COM:EDUSE. A file that cannot be realistically used for educational purposes is not included in our project's scope. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 15:53, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated the file for deletion. It's not only out of scope, it's also possibly a copyvio: at a closer look, one could see the cropping vestiges of a hand holding the phone. If it is a legitimate "own work", then there is no reason to use such a minuscule image size and for making a photo while holding the device. But if it's a crop from some ad, maybe a screenshot from some video, then the small size and the indentations where fingers would have hold the phone are totally explainable - and reason all the more for deletion.

I downloaded a picture to you of Dr. Robert Howell Perks. How do I get it to appear on his page? Powenbarnes (talk) 18:30, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Powenbarnes: for the future, if you are asking questions like this, it would be useful if you would link the picture in question and link the page you mean by "his page".

You don't seem to ever have uploaded a picture to this site (Wikimedia Commons). It looks like you tried to upload File:Picture of Robert Perks.png with a statement that it is a photo that you took yourself today (2025-01-01), and that you tried to do this by a cross-wiki upload from en-wiki (the English-language Wikipedia). Basically, you hit a filter that says that small image files uploaded cross-wiki by relatively new users are considered suspect.

If you really did take the photo yourself as you say, you should be able to upload it directly on Commons, using Commons:UploadWizard. Please provide the highest resolution of the photo available, be accurate about the date you took the photo, and add appropriate categories. - Jmabel ! talk 21:11, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded this image [1] and messed up some of the details and information. The date is wrong, the source is wrong, and I fear the image is too poor of quality. It is completely my mistake and I’m more than willing to admit that. If someone could please remove it for me that’s be great.

Hello Therguy10, there are several points to be addressed here. First: making errors is only human, and asking for help the correct way to go. Second: if you make an error that makes you wanting your recently uploaded file deleted, use the speedy deletion process. Third: working on logos is finicky about copyrights. As the nutshell here says: "[Commons] strictly enforces copyright and licensing restrictions, even if copyright holders do not." You need to have a quite thorough understanding about thresholds of originality and Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Trademarks to contribute meaningfully, without encountering IP rights issues (your upload at File:The Big Bad Wolf - Wolf’s Revenge logo.jpg would be OK as {{PD-Textlogo}}, but most likely only without the eye graphics).
