Hola Freimut,

Just a note:

In English was say "Photograph" to denote one image.

"Photography" is the act of taking photos. What is your profession? "Photography". Did you take that Photograph?

Thanks,

hi Freimut

the picture you uploaded to the English Laurindo Almeida page is wrong -

19:54, 9 August 2010 Freimut Bahlo (talk | contribs) (5,000 bytes) (add Gottlieb foto) (undo)



on the Laurindo Almeida Discussion page it says - "This man in this photograph holding the tenor saxophone, is Tex Beneke, who played with Glen Miller, and led his own bands after Glen Miller was killed in WWII. The man in this photo is not Laurindo Almeida, the guitar player.192.122.250.250 (talk) 12:10, 10 September 2010 (UTC)"

this is correct - Library of Congress photo "Portrait of Tex Beneke, New York, N.Y.(?), ca. Jan. 1947"

the original Library of Congress photo also has the wrong title!

so i have replaced your photo with a photograph given to me by the daughter of Robert E Myers (the producer of Laurindo Almeida's Grammy Award winning records) -- she knew Laurindo Almeida personally and has confirmed that the original photo of him was incorrect

Greetings!
I edit the biographies of musicians and specifically, I email photographers and explain to most of them what a Creative Commons license is, and ask that they allow the Wikipedia to use each photo, usually in the cc-by-sa license to avoid problems with copyright violations. It takes a lot of time to write people in many different languages and get their permission. (See my list of most of the photos on my Userpage- over 600 to Wikipedia Commons just in that category alone. I noticed that you uploaded at least one photo from Heinrich Klaffs who was one of the photographers to allow us access to many photos.
 * The reason I am writing is because I have edited mostly the English Wikipedia, and Portugues and Spanish, but have done minor edits and added photos to other Wikipedias, including the German Wikipedia.(de.Wikipedia). I was told that the information boxes on the biography articles are not used on de.Wikipedia. We use them here! If you are willing to upload, or place an uploaded photo on a biography page for musicians, you really need to add the box, the information inside it, and clean up the article, unless it is GA or FA status.

I can help you with any questions about the English Wikipedia. Maybe you can explain differences on the German Wikipedia. Leave me a note on my talk page if you are interested. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I was not clear about photos
The most important thing I thought about was that since we are both uploading a lot of photos that we should speak about it, so we do not both upload the same photos from Flickr to Wikimedia Commons with only different names! It took me time to get Heinrich Klaffs to allow his photos to be uploaded to Creative Commons. I have placed photos in other language Wikipedias, as I mentioned. However, another editor on the de.Wikipedia told me that those infoboxes that we use here for musicians are no longer used in the German Wikipedia. He told me that infoboxes were in a discussion there, but there was no consensus, so he told me to just place the photo at the top of the article. This is really different from the en.Wikipedia (and es.Wikipedia, pt.Wikipedia, etc.) - I do not know German so I only put photos in the de.Wikipedia, anyway. But I was wondering if there are any more differences there that I should know? I do not know the translations from German to English and I thought you could help me, too..


 * Also,the en.Wikipedia does require infoboxes whenever possible for musicians who perform and record music. It is an extention of the lead to the article-- it gives a reader the chance (hopefully) to see a photo of the musician(s), a list of genres that they perform, other occupations other than just being a musician, like maybe a record producer too, and the age and place where they were born (and maybe died) as well. The lead to the article should show the person's biography and give a quick outline about what the article is about, per WP:MOS.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 02:11, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Stories Project
Hi!

My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know anyone with whom I should speak.

Thank you for your time,

Victor Grigas

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Freimut Bahlo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Freimut Bahlo~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:57, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
