Hi there, another organisation on Flicks The Commons. Most of them seem to be PD-old, but http://www.flickr.com/photos/25053835@N03/2584347606/ isn't. Which template should Flinfo ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Flominator/Flinfo ) use? Best regards, Flo -- Age is a very high price to pay for maturity. - Tom Stoppard (* 1937)

I moved it to <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Flickr-Brooklyn-Museum-image> Unfortunately I have some difficulties determining the PD-ness of most images tagged with this tag (which is exactly why such tags should not be used!)

Fwd: Ghost Works survey - Chilling effects of copyright
by David Gerard 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ben Finney <bignose+hates-spam(a)benfinney.id.au> Date: 2008/6/16 Subject: Ghost Works survey - Chilling effects of copyright To: discussion(a)fsfeurope.org Howdy all, The Question Copyright folks are launching a new effort around the chilling effect of copyright: specifically, the effect of works where the only thing stopping the work getting out is the cloud of copyright questions. They use the term "Ghost Works" for these never-made or never-released works <URL:http://questioncopyright.org/ghost_works_survey>: In the article "Seen Any Ghost Works Lately?", we defined a ghost work as a creative work that never got made, or was made but not released, because copyright concerns prevented it from being started or from being distributed. Since then, informal conversations with artists, publishers and others have made it very clear that such suppression is a common event, much more common than most people think. But the public rarely hears about it, because no one does publicity for a work that doesn't exist. The purpose of the Ghost Works Survey is twofold: to demonstrate the scope and scale of this phenomenon by gathering and organizing as much data about it as we can, and to highlight compelling individual stories of artists and other creators who had their work thwarted by copyright restrictions. The survey will not attempt to catalogue every ghost work — there are likely far too many, given that almost every artist we've talked to so far has a story of a work they had to alter or lay aside due to copyright concerns. Rather, we'll focus on qualitative results: we want to collect enough stories to discern large-scale patterns, so we can understand and publicize the effects of copyright suppression. For more information, see the projects page. -- \ "I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then | `\ I thought 'Why should I?

Panoramio as Images Source
by Eugene Zelenko 13 Jun '08

13 Jun '08

Hi! I discovered that Panoramio started to support Creative Commons licenses 3.0. Looks like my e-mail back into the June 2007 had some influence :-) See http://www.panoramio.com/user/519353 as example but please don't export - all of this photos are in Commons already :-) Unfortunately licenses are revocable as in Flickr. I also don't aware of the simple way to filter CC-BY and CC-BY-SA images only. Web interface doesn't have this feature. Original Panoramio blog announcement: http://www.panoramio.com/blog/new-update-around-600000-new-photos-from-pano… Eugene.

12 Jun '08

Hi! I think will be great to nominate Commons geocoded featured images in Panoramio contest (http://www.panoramio.com/contest/). It'll help to promote Commons (like full resolution image link) and also authors could receive prizes :-) Eugene.

On upload forms
by Brion Vibber 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 For a long time we've had to suffer with an image upload form which was pretty bare-bones, while attempting to shoehorn more smarts into it through templates and JavaScript hacks. Well, I think it's about time we prioritize really doing this thing right. Commons, and MediaWiki generally, needs an upload form which: a) Works sensibly b) Looks good c) Allows you to upload the file, extract metadata, compare duplicates, make sure it's sensibly named, and *then* commit it into the system. d) Handles batch uploads with a minimum of fuss (or at least, as minimally fussy as one can get with HTML file upload forms :) Note that this isn't going to be done by tacking JavaScript and templates onto the existing form; this is going to be a real effort to redesign it from scratch into something that handles today's actual needs. I'd appreciate hearing from people interested in helping out in the following capacities: * Designing user interface mockups * Helping code it up in MediaWiki * Testing the new form under development * Providing constructive criticism as we work This effort will probably take from a few weeks to a few months to get to the point where it's really live; we may even try experiments like having the old and new forms available side-by-side on the live site so people really have a chance to bang at it in real usage without forcing an in-flux test system on everyone. - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkg/CJcACgkQwRnhpk1wk47cmwCeLwjpDR6thinMa39erKqkITlN QYEAniraOmYsVBFSeqq7M1MKbXMkn2g/ =moPb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Museums putting content on Wikipedia
by david.monniaux＠free.fr 09 Jun '08

09 Jun '08

Hi, Following from a discussion with the French Ministry of Culture (in charge of national museums, among other things), I'd like to know whether some museums, French or otherwise, officially put content onto Wikipedia or Commons. I'd also like to know about the various upload schemes for artwork, including uploading of content that we deem PD under Corel v Bridgeman Art Library. Cheers DM
