Hmm. Indeed, I didn't stop down enough on the left one. I'm not quite sure how I goofed it up, nor why I didn't retake it at the time. Alas, I don't have access to that instrument anymore.

Not sure about the cut comment: They were shot over a lightscreen, not cut out.. I think I see what you're talking about, and it's actually a result of the highlights on the metal ring being seriously clipped. In any case, thanks for your comments. They are spot on... Oh well. I took the picture over a year and a half ago and I always thought it was funny that it wasn't featured: I've sold this image under alternative non-exclusive non-copyleft licenses several times for quite a bit of money. :) --Gmaxwell 00:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Translation help requested
Would you be willing to translate a very short passage from Swedish to English? I am trying to resolve a dispute with another editor. If you don't want to get involved, that's fine, but please let me know one way or the other. It's about 150-200 words. Thank you for your help. Tusen takk. I know, that's Norsk, but I don't know any Swedish.... :) Cbdorsett 07:54, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Janke. Here's the text:

<<
 * Imitationer
 * <<En imitation (efterprägling) är en samtida kopia, oftast i gott silver och gjord långt ifrån den myntort som anges på myntet. Det vanligaste myntortsnamnet på tidiga imitationer är Madînat as- Salâm, dvs. Bagdad, men de är gjorda i Ryssland. Det khazariska riket, mellan Svarta havet och Kaspiska havet, kunde genom sitt läge dra nytta av handeln mellan nordbor/vikingar och muslimska köpmän. Khazarisk imitation med en tamgha (klan- eller familjemärke), här i form av en kvist. Den brukar associeras med turkiska stammar. ”Madînat as-Salâm 803-4” (Mynt 12).


 * <<Mynt 12


 * <<Två stampar är officiella khazariska med texten Ard al-Khazar (Khazarernas Land). Ard al-Khazar 837-38 (Mynt 13).


 * <<”Mose är Guds sändebud” står det på arabiska på ett mynt (Mynt 14). Mose är judarnas förgrundsgestalt. Inskriften är en parallell till den islamiska trosbekännelsens ord ”Muhammed är Guds sändebud” på de islamiska mynten (se mynt 5). Inskriften ”Mose är Guds sändebud” är känd sedan tidigare på fyra mynt i andra skatter. Den fiktiva myntorten är ”Madînat as-Salâm 779-80”. Det nu upptäckta femte exemplaret har präglats med en annan åtsidesstamp,”Madînat as-Salâm 766-67”. Via denna stamp kan alla Mosemynten knytas till en stor stampkedja där myntortsnamnet Ard al- Khazar (Khazarernas Land) 837-38 ingår (se mynt 13). Från skriftliga källor vet vi att den khazariske kungen och hans hov antog judendomen.

>>

After you have finished, I'll have another translator look at it. If the text looks useful, that second person's endorsement will be sufficient to keep you out of the dispute. Thank you for your help. Cbdorsett 04:10, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * That was fast! Thanks. I really appreciate it. Cbdorsett 08:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

thanks for your comments -yes they were taken with a micro camera I wish I could ahve had a better camera -even if the quality then is not perfect the contrast in the Bristol channel pic with the rainbow is atmospheric.

Helicon Filter
Hi Janke. You put an advertisement tag on the Licenses section in the Helicon Filter article. I'll admit that I struggled to try to make this as least like an ad as I could while still containing all the important information, and I think it is right now ok. But information on the pricing for this program should be included. Do you have any suggestions on how to include this information without it looking at all like an ad? If you do, that would be great, but if not, I don't think the tag is appropriate. Thanks. Cheers, Althepal 20:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi from Adrian, here's my reply to your question on my Talk Page. I think the Helicon article is acceptable, once the Licence and Price advertising stuff, and the Release History, is removed (both of which I have done). The pricing material is inappropriate because it will vary shop to shop, or country to country and, in any case, pricing info is against WP policy (we don't give Zoo admission prices for example). I have a deep objection to the multiscreen Release History so I've removed it again (and from the Photoshop entry) On the positive side, I'm impressed that shortcomings of the program are honestly mentioned - Adrian Pingstone 20:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm just curious, what guideline states that pricing information should not be included in Wikipedia? It is very prevalent, such as in the Comparison of raster graphics editors and many other articles I've seen. Anyhow, the product is only sold directly from Helicon Soft, so there is no variation.

FPC
"I did give some harsh (but accurate, IMO) comments on your sunset picture, but remember, we're trying to get the very best images featured. Keep nominating, one day you may succeed! Suggestion: To get the resolution and quality to pass the hard test for FP, you must avoid high jpg compression (in the sunset pic, there were very visible square blocks in the shadow area - that's a no-no), and, if the original, but very large picture isn't razor sharp, you might downsample it a bit, but still keep it well over 1000 px wide. Stitching several frames into a panorama is a good way of getting better resolution... (See, criticism can be constructive, too... ;-) FYI: I have nominated many of my own pics, but in a year and a half, only two have made FP.) Greetings, --Janke | Talk 19:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)"

We are having some problems there with finlandssvensk-issues. Should Swedish-speaking Finns be taken out of both Swedes and Finns and then discuss them in their own article?

Image:Smartcard.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Smartcard.JPG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 16:33, 29 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I think whoever tagged the image as replaceable didn't realize you had taken that photograph yourself. Looking through the history I saw that you originally tagged it correctly as GFDL-self, but that got removed in a piece of vandalism, and then other people came along and assumed it must be somehow a "fair use" image. I just reverted to your original licensing, but you may want to keep it and any other images you've uploaded on your watchlist to make sure they don't get vandalized. —Angr 09:16, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Glossy Ibis FPC
Hi Janke - Despite your plea, I went ahead and masked out the glossy ibis FP nom and blurred the background (and desaturated it a bit). Maybe it will meet your standard? Take another peak at the nomination if you like. Debivort 22:48, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Your opinion, and your permission
Hi Janke, just thought I would float an idea by you. I'm looking at cleaning up the WP:FP? "examples of image problems" section, which I think would benefit from sectioning according to the different criteria, with pictoral examples arranged a little more formally than they are at present. You posted a link to this image on the talk page, along with the "reality" shot it corresponds to, and I think it is the ideal example for a modified criterion 6. Basically #6 would read, "6. Is accurate. It is supported by facts in the article or references cited on the image page. Remember that photographs are a form of primary source, so care should always be taken to ensure that images are faithful reproductions of their main subject (see xample and also criterion 10 below)." I'm going to propose all this first anyway - I think criterion 6 should specifically warn against deliberate distortion of accurate representations of reality, just like your trains trick! I'd like to know what you think of the idea, first of all, but also wondered if you would mind if those images were uploaded for the purpose. Cheers, mikaultalk 20:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the offer; a small composite shot would be fine, even ideal. I'm thinking of 300px examples which in some cases (like this) don't need to be thumbs. I'll most likely post up an sample example (so to speak) which you could refer to for actual dimensions. All I need now is time! Hands very full IRL at the moment :o/ Best wishes, mikaultalk 20:54, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Source of Image:Locotypes.gif?
I noticed that Image:Locotypes.gif says that it was scanned from a 1919 book, but it doesn't say which 1919 book. Since there's no text in the original image, it's pretty hard to search for. Do you have the source information? It was uploaded more than a year and a half ago, so you may have to go digging a bit. I'm going to hold off on using nsd for now, but we really should have more source than "1919 book" (which we're lucky to have, given that people upload it to Commons with a to-be-deleted en.wiki image description page listed as the source.) grendel|khan 06:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have added the requested source info. It's from the Finnish 1919 "Tietosanakirja" ("Encyclopedia"), and due to its age, it's PD. Greetings, --Janke | Talk 14:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

re: Copyvio TLE image
Hi,

Janke, did you look at the page history? When I uploaded the image, I provided the required fair use rationale and detailed description. On May 28th, User:Delenda26 changed the copyright statement. I did not have the image on my watchlist, and thus did not know about the change until you alerted me to it just now. If you look at the image description page now, you will see that I have restored the fair use rationale, as it does illustrate an important point on an article. I will ask this user to see if they can provide proof that they are the copyright owner. In future, I would appreciate it if you would research this more throughly before assuming it's a copyright vio. Happy editing, Green451 15:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note. Please note that the fair use can only be allowed in an article dealing with the film itself. Thus, using the image in Rotoscoping is not allowed. There have been other, similar instances where fair use is allowed in one article, but not in another. Please see WP:Fair Use for details. --Janke | Talk 07:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Last finnish coins.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Image source problem with Image:440woodcut.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:440woodcut.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:43, 3 July 2008 (UTC).

Image:Gymkata144.jpg
Hi. Thanks for watching out for copyright concerns. :) Just wanted to let you know that you've used the "text" tag for this image, which is why it instructed you to list the image at WP:CP. Images are no longer addressed there. Please either use the PUI tag and list this image at Possibly Unfree Images, or use Non-free review and list it at Non-free content review. As you seem experienced, I'll leave it to you, but if I can help in any way listing this at the proper forum please let me know at my talk page. Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've placed it at PUI, and I see why you're concerned. There are many of these. The topic is listed at Possibly_unfree_images/2008_October_3, and I have noted there that there may be other images of concern. You might want to keep an eye on the conversation in case you can offer feedback. Thanks again for bringing it up. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:53, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just to note, you don't actually have to explain at the image page, as you did here. That's for the discussion I linked above, and I already copied your rationale there. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't mind, but I would probably not be the best person. I noted the issue because I work with text copyrights at WP:CP. I've done only a very little with images myself. You'd probably do better to talk to one of the contributors at WP:PUI, who'd have a better chance of knowing the answer. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Dynamite
Thanks. It actually wasn't so much that I was discouraged, because I agree with the improvements suggested. It was just that I know it will be a lot longer until I get around to finishing it, so there should be a new nomination some time in the future. Thanks again! -- p b r ok s 1 3 talk? 07:45, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Blue bias on Image:1Mcolors.png
I'm intrigued by this fine image of yours. I've been looking at it for a while, wondering why it seems so blue. I finally realized that it looks that way because the blue varies step by step in the 100 boxes from top left to bottom right. Because of this, the overall image reveals the change in blue. The change in red, and the change of green, on the other hand, vary within each square. Viewed as a whole image, the red and green changes are identical in each of the squares, and the redness or greenness are confined to the corners of each square. I suspect that if the colors were swapped, and the red varied the way blue does in this image, it would appear more red, the way it now appears more blue. Same for green. Would it be difficult for you to create these alternatives and post them?



Perhaps the best way to illustrate all these colors would be with 3 videos. Each video would keep two colors constant and vary the third from zero to 100. There could be companion videos that reverse the animation from 100 to zero. They could all be made to look three dimensional, as if you are moving through the layers of a color cube. == &#x2611; Sam uelWantman 09:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, true - if you read the image description page, I actually mention the cube there! That page also contains the code (Chipmunk Basic) used to generate the image. Swap the order of x,y,and z in the 40 graphics color x,y,z ' x=red y=green z=blue line, and you'll get what you suggest! Actually, there is no blue bias to the image - that's an illusion. If you'd average all pixels, the result would be a 50% neutral gray! --Janke | Talk 10:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes. of course. It is an illusion of how we perceive color perception. Having all three images next to each other would illustrate this really well.  I haven't done any programming in over 20 years, and I bet I could figure out how to get chipmumk basic running on my computer.  However, if it is not too much of an inconvenience to you, could you generate the other two images and post them?  I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks.  -- &#x2611; Sam uelWantman 19:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Here you are, rendered in 1/2 size only, thus imperfect, but gives the right idea. Believe it or not, all three images contain the same colors, only in a different order! Squinting a bit, you actually perceive both the RGB and CMY color triplets as dominant, in the bottom and top halves of these images, respectively. (By the way, you can generate these in full size by taking the original and just swap around the RGB color channels in Photoshop, I did it the "hard" way, running the altered program...) --Janke | Talk 22:26, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've added this image to the description page of the original.  For some reason, I find the top one the most pleasing, and the most "color balanced", probably because the range is from cool to warm. -- &#x2611; Sam uelWantman 02:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I also notice that these images are great for testing LCD displays. Looking at them off axis you can compare the dispersion of different colors.  My laptop doesn't do a very good job of this. -- &#x2611; Sam uelWantman 02:19, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Need Your Expertise...
Hi! I am looking for consensus on the image to be used for Barack Obama. I see your name on the FPC page all the time and hope you can weigh in on which photo you think is better by visiting Talk:Barack Obama. Obviously this is no FP candidate, but I'd like to get people with some experience in that realm to comment (composition, quality, etc). Spare a minute and help out? Thanks! ~ Wadester16 (talk) 16:50, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello :-) Question on cells/frames
I'm very interested in animation and animation production. I was wondering if you could help me find out how many cells or frames of animation the average Disney film uses to make the characters move? For example, The Little Mermaid or Tarzan. Thank you very much for your help :-) Nicolas Strappini (talk) 11:08, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Disney films use between 12 and 24 drawings per second, depending on the speed of movement. Say an average of 20, and an average of 2 characters per scene on separate cels = 40 cels per second. At 3,600 seconds per hour, a 1.5 hour film has roughly 216,000 cels. Add a million rough animation drawings and sketches to that... ;-) --Janke | Talk 14:57, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help, it sounds like a lot of work!!!

Please could you help me with this question? On the Lion King page of Wikipedia it says this: 'Ultimately, more than 600 artists, animators and technicians contributed to the The Lion King over its lengthy production schedule. More than one million drawings were created for the film, including 1,197 hand-painted backgrounds and 119,058 individually colored frames of film.' Does this mean there were 119,058 individual drawings or cels produced to make the characters move, or is the number referring to another aspect of the production? Thank you very much for your help Janke, I'm just doing a school project at the moment on animated feature film production. :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolas Strappini (talk • contribs) 09:05, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Since it's your school project, you'd better do the job (and the math) yourself. See my previous answer, all the info you need is there. --Janke | Talk 13:46, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Copyright concerns; tagging
Hello, Janke. Thank you for pointing out your copyright concerns with File:Iran animation.gif. I'm dropping you a line just to let you know that the tag that you placed on the image, copyvio, is specifically used for text that violates copyright. For images that are clear copyright violations, you can follow the procedure for speedy deletion. For images that are suspected to be copyright violations, we have a review board for possibly unfree images. For images used under suspect non-free content criteria, we have non-free content review. Other image copyright concerns are handled in various ways (see Guide to image deletion for specifics.) I have corrected the tag on this image so that it can be handled in the proper venue, but I wanted to let you know for future use in case you should encounter another image that raises concerns. Thanks again for pointing out the potential problem. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:36, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

FPC request
This has been sitting for a day with no feedback. I noticed that you often !vote on pictures I nominate, and it is my self-observation that people !vote after an initial one has been made. Perhaps you could be the first to vote there? Best, ₪ Ceran →(cheer→chime →carol) 14:10, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

WP:VPC
Hi! I know that you've signed off on WP:FPC, but we (myself and a couple of other editors) are attempting to launch the Valued Pictures project on the en:Wikipedia, but we haven't had much success, which mainly stems from the very few people who have !voted. I was wondering, if you had the time, if you could drop by and evaluate a few candidates. The criteria are basically the same as FPC minus the technical qualification and with a one-month-in-article status required. Thanks so much! If you have any questions or comments, you can ask me, User:Elucidate, or leave a message on the valued pictures talk page! Intothewoods29 (talk) 04:27, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Louis Ducos du Hauron 1877 color photo switched again
Hello,

This is to alert you that user "preslethe" has, for the second time, overwritten the original "featured" version of Louis Ducos du Hauron's 1877 color photo with the trimmed and severely color-manipulated version which he or she prefers for its "better color."

As a newbie, I am reluctant to get into a reversion war over a secondary matter this early in the day, especially as I may need to preserve all my ammo for defending some conventional-wisdom-busting in the field (early color photography) which I am tackling.

Nonetheless, the switch makes meaningless the comments about the visibility of the overlapping color elements in its thumbnail caption in the "Color photography" article (the main site of my Wikipedia efforts thus far), makes inapplicable the dimensional data and George Eastman House reference in its caption in the "Louis Ducos du Hauron" stub, and wreaks who knows what other ill effects on the thirty or so other uses not yet checked.

IMHO, the availability of alternative versions of an image is a good thing, but I am surprised that an existing version can thus be arbitrarily replaced, and with such evident disregard for the wider consequences.

If you do not care to deal with this a second time, perhaps you can direct me to the relevant how-to information? It is not immediately apparent.
