Captions in January
The previous message from today says captions will be released in November in the text. January is the correct month. My apologies for the potential confusion. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)
My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:


 * 1) Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
 * 2) Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
 * 3) Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Commons question
Hi Jane, I have a little problem with Freda_Kelly. She has no profession in Wikidata and I have difficulty to make a category for her in Commons, such as "secretaries from England". There is no structure for this. She was the secretary.... of the Beatles. We received a photo of her trough Wikiportret, so I try to make her own category on Commons.

 * Het lijkt erop dat iemand dat al gedaan heeft! groet, Jane (talk) 22:18, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Dat is gedaan door een zeer vriendelijk persoon ;-). Ellywa (talk) 22:44, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Question
there is this painting A Philosopher at User:Jane023/Paintings in the Prado and this An Old Man at his Desk at nl:Gebruiker:Jane023/schilderijen in de Statens Museum for Kunst. I am confused, hence my question if you can give some clarification. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 13:51, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
 * No problem! You forgot to ask your question. Looking at them, maybe you think they should be linked? They certainly look very similar. If you can't find a source you can always just link them on Commons using the "other versions" field or link them on Wikidata with the "Different from" property.

Make women blue
Hi Jane,
 * Did you see this: Queens & royals ? It is an idea for later this year, but perhaps you and/or someone you know very well are willing to participate, be of any help. This and/or other ideas of the project are IMNSHO closely related to the Dutch group GenderGap. Warm greetings & lots of salutations from (temporarily) Nervi, Klaas `Z4&#x241f;` V 14:52, 26 March 2019 (UTC) TTYL perhaps?
 * Thanks, I replied there. Jane (talk) 15:07, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Tin can
Hello Jane023

On Talk:Laughing Boy with a Flute I recently questioned the suitability of the English title for the Frans Hals painting known in Dutch as Jongen met glas en tinnen kan. I subsequently changed the English title of that painting in the article on the Laughing boy with a flute from Boy with a glass and tin can to Boy with a glass and a pewter jug, in accordance with the corresponding English RKD page.

I now see that you have contributed several articles on Hals, including one on each of the catalogues raisonnés by Slive and Grimm, the List of paintings by Frans Hals article, the article on The Smoker, and indeed the Laughing Boy with a Flute article itself, all of which use the "tin can" translation. I have no access to either of the catalogues raisonnés, but I assume you do and that you found the "tin can" in one or other (or both?) of them. I have introduced an inconsistency, for which I apologise. Nonetheless, "tin can" does seem unfortunate, so I wonder if you have a view on whether and how the inconsistency should be resolved.

I too have a special fondness for Haarlem and am also interested in the life and work of Judith Leyster. Sadly, it was not only in the Dutch Golden Age that the work of a man commanded a higher price than that of a woman!

Best wishes -Frans Fowler (talk) 11:25, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking an interest in these Frans Hals / Judith Leyster painting articles! I can't recall where the title came from and I don't record this in my workflow, since 17th-century paintings have multiple titles according to various catalogs and databases. If you want to improve title translations, go ahead.Jane (talk) 11:51, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Done —Frans Fowler (talk) 15:46, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space
There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:


 * Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
 * Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.

I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
