Taj Mahal aerial view

edit
File:Taj mahal 1.jpg
Aerial view showing the tilting southwest minaret (8.5 in (22 cm) from vertical in 2004)[1]

Well done on the fantastic pictures! I noticed that you've been editing pictures in Taj Mahal so wondered if you might be interested in this (repeated in its talk page):

I think there are too many whole-building photographs taken from ground level but too few (previously none) from the air, which better shows its 3D shape, including the relationship between the sizes of the minarets and the central structure. The one on the right is the only photo I could find in Commons, so I've added it. It's a shame that no higher resolution is available.

It also usefully shows the minaret tilting the most, according to http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6629-concerns-over-tilting-taj-mahal-dismissed.html and so I've placed it under Threats.

Hi Muhammad,

Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware pictures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Baobab_Adansonia_digitata.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Charaxes_brutus_natalensis.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:African_Bush_Elephant.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mount_Kilimanjaro.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mt_Uluguru_and_Sisal_plantations.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Plains_Zebra_Equus_quagga.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Coconut_Palm_flowers.jpg). I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:

http://www.freeenglishsite.com/

I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm

2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm

3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm

Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.

Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely,  Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Assistance required

edit

Hi,

I saw that you are involved in resolving edit wars and so I thought I'd ask for your help. An editor and I are having a bit of a diagreement reqarding the infobox picture of Dar es Salaam. Previously, my image Dar es Salaam before dusk.jpg, a Featured Picture was being used after undergoing a tough selection process. Another editor changed this to his image which is of considerable low resolution, image quality and composition. I reverted this and placed a note on the talk page asking for discussion before changes but but my revert was reverted without any. What do you suggest? --Muhammad(talk) 15:45, 2 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Is there a previous discussion that led to the featured photo's selection for the infobox? If not, I would suggest opening an RfC, as otherwise it's just your preference against his. -- tariqabjotu 16:23, 2 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Dar es Salaam

edit

No worries! A lot of articles can stand with a bit of image rationalization - check what's available, then make sure that the article reflects the best of what's there, in a good variety, without overloading with the same type of image, so I try to do it when I can.

Welcome to the 2013 WikiCup!

edit

Hello, Muhammad Mahdi Karim, and welcome to the 2013 WikiCup! Your submissions' page is here. The competition begins at midnight UTC. The first round will last until the end of February, at which point the top 64 scorers will advance to the second round. We will be in touch at the end of every month, and signups are going to remain open until the end of January; if you know of anyone else who may like to take part, please let them know! A few reminders:

  • The rules can be found here. There have been a few changes from last year, which are listed on that page.
  • Anything you submit must have been nominated and promoted in 2013, and you need to have completed significant work upon it in 2013. (The articles you review at good article reviews does not need to have been nominated in 2013, but you do need to have started the review in 2013.) We will be checking.
  • If you feel that another competitor is breaking the rules or abusing the competition in some way, please let a judge know. Please do not remove entries from the submissions' pages of others yourself.
  • Don't worry about calculating precisely how many points everything is worth. The bot will do that. The bot may occasionally get something wrong- let a judge know, or post on the WikiCup talk page if that happens.
  • Please try to be prompt in updating submissions' pages so that they can be double-checked.

Overall, however, don't worry, and have fun. It doesn't matter if you make the odd mistake; these things happen. Questions can be asked on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn and The ed17 23:20, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

FP question

Hey there. I have no idea about most of the finer points of the FP process, but I was wondering if File:Visible_Pinball_III.jpg stood any realistic chance of being promoted. It looked "studio" so I figured it might. I'm looking for FPs to put in the (very much still under construction) Portal:Games, and having something pinball related seemed like a good idea.

Lens image

edit

Thanks for introducing me to focus stacking. I was looking at File:Canon EF-S 18-55mm.jpg and wondering if it is a single shot or the result of focus stacking. The depth of field and evenness of the lighting are quite admirable. Is there a reason why you have not nominated that image at WP:FPC. Since I am doing lenses, it would help me to know if this image that I perceive as nearly perfect actually has flaws.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Could you nominate this image so that I can see what the community thinks of lenses as a subject now. The only lens FP is a 2005 nomination. I want to gauge whether the subject matter is interesting enough for FP.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:40, 24 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Thanks for uploading File:Sikshana Logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Adobe RGB

edit

I see you are using AdobeRGB colourspace for your recent photographs. This is a very bad idea for JPGs on the internet. The standard is sRGB for web images. Few browsers are colourspace-aware so will render the colours wrongly because they assume sRGB. Of the few browers than can be set to be colourspace-aware, they use a naive nearest-colour method for converting to the colourspace of the users's monitor. This results in colour banding on gradients. Photoshop/lightroom are better in this regard because they dither, but few people use them as an image-viewer. I assume your edit to David's pic was done from the raw file? I can explain more if you want.. Colin°Talk 19:31, 6 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

My video would be published under a cc-by-nc licence, that means that the content can be used by others except for commercial purposes (creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/) If that would be possible, it wold be great!

File permission problem with File:Lankarani.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Lankarani.jpg, which you've attributed to http://lankarani.com/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Darkwind (talk) 05:36, 14 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mass (liturgy), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St Mary's Basilica (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
