FPC stuff

  1. I'm not sure what's up with Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Muhammad now. Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Aziz efendi-muhammad alayhi s-salam.jpg resulted in the file being deleted, but it's still there on en:Wiki. I'd appreciate it if you could resolve the nomination.
  2. I asked the nominator of the Appalachian Trail Map if he'd consider withdrawing the nomination for now. He hasn't edited since April 5th, so there's no response yet. My edit is nearly completed, but I'd like to check over it a bit more to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I think the edit needs a completely new nomination, particularly since the old one has been open so long. Maybe you could close it with a note about re-nomination.
  3. You closed this nomination a while back. Because I always forget to clear out FPC urgents (and you're the one to do it for me), I wanted to give you a hard time about not putting the edit in the articles! Don't worry: I've done that 3829 times. I actually have a question about that nom too. You credited the creator of the work, not just the photographer. Do you think this should be common practice? It's something I've struggled with before, particularly with sculptures. As best I could tell, the precedent was to only credit the photographer. I'm on the fence with this one. We don't credit the person who takes a picture of a painting, so why would we credit the person who takes a picture of a sculpture? At the same time, we do credit photographers of buildings, for example, rather than architects or whoever. This isn't really an important issue at all, and I don't think it matters what we do. I just thought I'd ask your opinion.
  4. One more thing. I asked Maedin about this, so I figured I'd ask you too. It might need to be raised at FPC talk, but it's easier to deal with you two since you've dealt with the administrative side. I was doing some clean-up type stuff on one of the FP sub-pages and made this edit. I removed a FP completely from the gallery because the file had been deleted. I did not alter the FP count. I wasn't sure if it had already been taken into account when we did our last FP count update. Since there isn't a file, the FP tag can't be on the page. Thoughts? I'm considering doing a manual FP count to resolve this type of issue once and for all.

Thanks. Best, Makeemlighter (talk) 23:37, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

  1. At first I was going to say "how did I miss that it was hosted locally!", but it seems that User:Jmabel restored the local copy after it was deleted on Commons. I suppose I will close it as 'not promoted', with the rationale that we are no where near sure enough that it is PD, which would be an absolute requirement for FP. Then I'll probably list it at WP:PUF.
  2. Sounds good, I will close it.
  3. Thank you for the correction I would say in the case of a sculpture that is the sole subject of a picture, credit the sculptor if possible. It seems that crediting the artist only, in the case of a painting, goes along with the idea that scanning or closely photographing a 2D work does not create a new copyright (at least in the US). An image of a sculpture however does, inherently. This is also probably why we tend to not credit architects. Freedom of panorama in the US I believe tends to give us the feeling that architecture isn't as pure of an art. I mean, look at any wiki article on a famous building and see how long you have to read before you find the architect's name. Then compare to famous paintings. All that said, I don't know what should be best practice for architecture.
  4. I can't quite remember if we ever actually changed the count during that whole process. It does seem that the only way to be sure would be to do a manual count. Some quick stats: Current number at Wikipedia:Featured pictures: 2708; current transclusion count of Template:FeaturedPicture: 2720 (I glanced through the entire list and didn't find any that were not in the File namespace); current transclusion count of Template:FP (redirects to other template): 128 (glanced through that list too).

Is this okay? Makeemlighter (talk) 00:01, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Yea, I'm okay with that. Just did another search of trying to verify original authorship. It seems that the original source (Specula Physico-Mathematico-Historica Notabilium ...) is mostly an illustrative work, so Zahn is very likely the creator. Our article also describes him as illustrating other works, so this a probably a good assumption. Jujutacular talk 00:10, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

"Irresistible (Jessica Simpson song)"

Hi Jujutacular! I've nominated the above song article for an FA. If you're free, could you go through it? Your comments are always welcome. Thank you. Novice7 (talk) 10:07, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Commented there on some prose issues. Article looks to be in pretty good shape. Jujutacular talk 18:44, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you so much. I've fixed the issues. Novice7 (talk) 04:09, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Regarding Profile Pic for Rhea Kapoor's wiki page

Hello !! Hope you are doing good. I was just trying to put a display pic onto Rhea Kapoor's wiki page and found quiet confusing. Request you to kindly help me with this OR if you can upload a pic of Rhea Kapoor's. Here I am sending you links from FilmiCafe which has a pic of Rhea Kapoor at Aisha's music launch. http://www.filmicafe.com/photo_event_slide_show.php?cat_id=1&subcat_id=2&event_id=5123&sort=view&photo_id=213329&new=new

Please do the needful. Thanks !! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taabish (talk • contribs) 14:26, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Taabish. One of Wikipedia's core missions is to be a free encyclopedia. This means that we don't allow non-free images in cases where a free equivalent could potentially be acquired. For images of living people, this is most always the case. Hope this helps. Regards, Jujutacular talk 15:12, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks much :-) --Taabish (talk) 14:39, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

List of human characters in Sesame Street

Hello, you commented on the above FLC and I just wanted to let you know I've restarted the nomination as it somewhat stalled. Any contribution you'd like to make to the restarted nomination would be gratefully received. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:32, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

What's been going on?

I've returned I was gone from Wikipedia for awhile (only about 50 edits in 10 weeks, which is very low for me), but I've been getting back into it and I wanted to see if you've been working on anything interesting or if you think there's a way we could collaborate. Let me know on my talk. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Sure I honestly don't have that much background knowledge or passion about the 2010 albums, but if you ever want to get something going, let me know. I have a smidge more to add to Everything_That_Happens_Will_Happen_Today, some serious editing to A Love Supreme and New Adventures in Hi-Fi and I'm supposed to someday do something on The Fountain (although that's honestly about as good as I can ever do on it--and almost all of that was done by someone else.) Anyway, bear it in mind. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
Maybe The only one where I might have anything to add is Fargo, but then probably not. My FA/FLs are more-or-less random and I don't have any real specialty (although albums have seemed to dominate lately.) Again, if you get started on one and want some help, I can at least take a look. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:04, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Featured Sounds needs you

Featured sounds was booming with activity in the March/April period, ideally that should be all the time. FS has been a battleground at times, however, it is my hope that that is in the past. I ask you all to reconsider your positions and set aside the differences you may have had with other participants for the good of the project and encyclopedia. Don't let FS become like VP, it is a path that a featured process should traverse. You were sent this message because you are listed at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Contributors or have been a past contributor.

"I'd like to request the closer leave a note on the Flickr file page if this is promoted (or let me know and I will)." This is me letting you know. Thank you. Makeemlighter (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, maybe we can attract some more freely licensed material from that user! They've got some very nice portrait work. Jujutacular talk 03:37, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
That would be awesome. FPC has really slowed down, so any new material would be wonderful. Makeemlighter (talk) 01:51, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Ambassador sweatshirt

Check your script

Hi Juju, could be some errors in your script, according to your edit summary? Here's two fixes I just made. --jjron (talk) 06:43, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. Turns out it was multiple problems: I added the "Photographic techniques, terms, and equipment" FP category to my script but did so incorrectly. I noticed the error and removed one extra image, but didn't re-add the image from the "People" category that the script incorrectly removed. The "Food and drink" category was not behaving because of the use of "Image:" instead of "File:". I believe it should be good to go now, but please let me know if you notice any irregularities in the future.
TL;DR: Fixed, thank you! Jujutacular talk 16:29, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
