Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Wikipedia, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. |
|||
'''Please click [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDBlN2RPQzljTFgySWg1bGFPZkVJcWc6MQ HERE] to participate.'''<br> |
|||
Many thanks in advance for your comments and thoughts. |

== I need an opinion on a photo from an expert on the subject == |
|||
I have long been attached to [[:File:Kirov-class battlecruiser.jpg|this image]] of the battlecruiser ''Frunze'', but the image at high res is dreadful. Is there any way that the image could be digitally cleaned up enough to have a shot at obtaining FP status? I'd be happy to list this as a co0nom at FPC if you think its got a chance.

:It's a lovely photograph but it isn't featured picture material. Serious restoration size starts at 10 MB. On rare occasions something smaller passes, but for that sort of work a file isn't really large until it's over 100 MB. If a larger source file could be located the photographers at FPC would go hard on the result of work because it was shot on high speed film, which would have been a reasonable choice during the film era in low light conditions but not the thing to use on a sunny day. You can tell that this is high speed film from the grain at full resolution. That isn't really a correctable problem, at least not in the sense of featured picture criteria.

Hi Durova! It's been a long time since I left you a note. I was wondering if you knew about the newly formed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Editor_Retention|Editor Retention project]]? We're looking at ways to help retain users both new users and experienced ones. I'm especially interested in finding ways to help restore users who have significant experience with wp back to the project (see this thread [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Editor_Retention#Administrator_retention|here]]). If you had any reflections on what keeps you here and/or what contributes to you spending less timer here etc they'd be most welcome. Besides all that I hope you're doing well, best--[[User:Cailil|<font color="#999999" size="2">'''Cailil'''</font>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Cailil|<font color="#999999">'''talk'''</font>]]</sup> 02:42, 11 July 2012 (UTC) |

== Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested) == |
|||
[[Credo Reference]], who generously [[WP:CREDO|donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts]] to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that: |
|||
* Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM] |
|||
It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve. |
|||
At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through [[WP:RESOURCE|WikiProject Resource Exchange]]). |
|||
Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot. |
|||
If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! [[User:Ocaasi|Ocaasi]]<sup> [[User talk:Ocaasi|t ]]|[[Special:Contributions/Ocaasi| c]]</sup> 17:14, 11 July 2012 (UTC) |

== A question == |
|||
Hi Durova. I stumbled across [[:File:Justice 1909 LOC det 4a16114.jpg|this photo]] while rewriting the associated article, and wondered if it was a good candidate for [[WP:FP]]. There are some small imperfections (dust, what looks like a wrinkle in the top right corner, etc.), so it could use some TLC. I don't know anything about image restoration, or have any specialized imagery software, so I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. Thanks for any help you can provide. [[User:Parsecboy|Parsecboy]] ([[User talk:Parsecboy|talk]]) 13:13, 25 July 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:There's a free program called GIMP that can perform all the edits necessary. This is glass plate photography in pretty good condition. Lots of specks, a few scratches, but no major degradation in any critical area. The original photograph needs a small amount of rotation; notice how uneven the horizon is. The histogram also needs adjustment. In spite of the filters that attempt to perform these edits, a really good result has to be obtained manually. |
|||
:Below are two different restorations of the same photograph. The image at center was a restoration uploaded by a programmer who had spent years coding plugins for the specific purpose of automating photo restoration. The inherent problem with that type of approach is that it would take a breakthrough in artificial intelligence before it could be effective. No matter how a programmer sets the tolerances, current technology compares raw pixel data without a human understanding of context. A filter doesn't know the difference between sky and sandy beach; it can't tell the difference between a surface scratch and the support cables on the Wright Flyer. As you'll notice at high resolution, several of the support cables were obliterated in the automated edit while scratches and dirt remain. The histogram adjustment problems are obvious even at thumbnail. |
|||
:So if you're asking with a sigh whether that means a good restoration actually goes in at full resolution and zaps every speck of dust manually, the answer is yes. Actually I worked in at least 200% resolution and would use the highest resolution TIFF file available (157.7 MB). The edit on your photo would take me about 8 hours. A first timer usually spends a week. |

:::One more thought: these skills you're working on are reusable. Running a first time featured picture candidate is harder than a first time featured article candidate (or that was the case a couple of years ago when I was active) but media volunteering skills have greater reusability.

[[File:The eyes have it.tif|450px|leftt|thumb|Heavily damaged eyes are possibly the most difficult thing to restore. The human eye interprets that gaze intuitively, but imaging software has no understanding of context. A few misplaced pixels would change the expression.]] |
|||
:Took a look at the original from the Library of Congress site. Daguerrotypes carry all the difficulties of other nineteenth century photographic processes with added problems because photography was in its infancy and people hadn't really learned to take care of the delicate print surface. This is a very soft focus portrait. If a restoration were successful it might end up something like the [[Augustus Washington]] portrait of Chancy Brown, which was much less heavily damaged before restoration. The only daguerrotype that approached this much damage I worked on was [http://durova.blogspot.com/2010/01/high-tech-for-1850.html Jenny Lind], which was a better original and I abandoned that project after 30 hours of effort. |
|||
[[File:Admiral Farragut2.jpg|left|thumb|350px|[[David Farragut|Admiral Farragut]] had less extensive damage to the eyes before restoration. It was still very much a challenge to preserve his steely military expression that balanced great determination with great self-control. This was the man who said, "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead."]] |
|||
[[File:John Quincy Adams drawing.jpg|right|thumb|350px|The last portrait ever taken of [[John Quincy Adams]] was so stained and so faded that had peen passed over for reproduction in modern publications. Adams had suffered a massive stroke while announcing his vote on veterans' benefits for the Mexican-American War (which he adamantly opposed) and it was impossible to move him from the rotunda; he lingered three days before expiring. Are his eyes closed or barely open? That ambiguity is one of the things that makes portrait fascinating, as is the context that this was the very last of the American revolutionaries to remain active in public service. The living memory of a country's founding is slipping out of view as this rough sketch was drawn.]] |
|||
:You might want to check out a blog post about [http://durova.blogspot.com/2010/01/eyes-have-it.html restoring damaged eyes]. Work on your original would be more difficult than the David Farragut restoration, and in terms of technical challenge on par with the John Quincy Adams restoration. The after version of Farragut and the before version of Adams are posted here (alternates linked through the respective Commons hosting pages). A lot of editors have the mistaken impression that this is done in filters with a few clicks. Actually the featured restorations are manual work, usually done at 200% resolution for clothing and backgrounds but often 500% to 700% for delicate facial expressions. A 12.5 MB TIFF original is on the low end of usable file sizes for that sort of work. There are basically two routes for this project: a quick-and-dirty approach that would yield a low quality result; or else find a very patient editor and treat that person very well. My work was, by and large, taken for granted (and frequently abused) and I stopped donating the effort nearly three years ago.

Greetings, The subject, broadly, is camels. A couple of us on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#U.S. Camel Corps (revisited)]] were discussing how [[:File:The camel corps at Beersheba2.jpg|the image you uploaded]] of a camel unit at Beersheba came to be identified in French as "Cavalerie américaine sur dromadaires à Beer-Sheva." Any ideas? Thanks,--[[User:Gaarmyvet|<font color="green">'''''Jim in Georgia'''''</font> ]][[Special:Contributions/Gaarmyvet|<font color="gold">''Contribs''</font> ]][[User Talk:Gaarmyvet|<font color="maroon">'''Talk'''</font>]] 00:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC) |

:Later editors changed the [http://memory.loc.gov/phpdata/pageturner.php?type=contactminor&cmIMG1=/pnp/ppmsca/13700/13709/00037t.gif&agg=ppmsca&item=13709&caption=36 source link] and the description. As you can see from the [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:The_camel_corps_at_Beersheba2.jpg&oldid=17852625 original upload], the original file description was a transcription of an archivist's note at the border of the image frame. It states only, "The camel corps at Beersheba," and does not attempt to identify the nationality of the unit. The image is dated 1915, which as your talk page discussion correctly observes rules out any possibility of it being an American camel corps because the United States had not yet entered the war. Haven't checked the chronology of how or why a later editor decided to claim that this was an American unit, but the most plausible explanation was that someone confused the nationality of the photographer with that of the unit. The American Colony Jerusalem is a treasure trove of public domain photography of the Near East from the early twentieth century; they by no means limited themselves to American photographic subjects. Strongly recommend reverting the image source link and description unless the editor(s) who made the changes produce documentation to justify their alterations. It hardly makes sense to refer the reader to a hodgepodge of 243 photographs for reference, when a direct link is more informative. |

The edit summaries give you all the information you need: the editor was blocked for making personal threats and other similarly unacceptable actions. It is often the case that the user's talk page is blanked on request and the userpage is deleted on request. I can't say if there was a request, but it's certainly a strong possibility. ···[[User:Nihonjoe|<font color="darkgreen">日本穣</font>]]<sup>[[WP:HIJCS|?]]</sup> · <small>[[Special:Contributions/Nihonjoe|<font color="blue">投稿</font>]] · [[User talk:Nihonjoe|Talk to Nihonjoe]] · [[WP:JA|<font color="maroon">Join WP Japan</font>]]!</small> 06:17, 28 February 2013 (UTC) |

::Yes, that conflict is what brought this to my attention, but I care not about the actual conflict, and just the reasons for the blanking. Durova, this was simply the most obvious example, like I said from an active editor (active in that you were still editing as of within a month.) "It is often the case that the user's talk page is blanked on request and the userpage is deleted on request." And from the comment above, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Page_blanking&oldid=104714927 previous version] of WP:BLANK that has been edited away, is why I go to veteran editors. [[User:Int21h|Int21h]] ([[User talk:Int21h|talk]]) 18:20, 28 February 2013 (UTC) |
|||
::And as to ''why'' I am "concerned", it relates to a recent conflict of mine, for which a review of major controversies and actions by "flagged" editors (as in some sort of administrative responsibility) is in order.

|||
To Nihonjoe: The OP was asking whether Arkhamite was a well-known banned editor. The Arkhamite userpage links to the ban discussion where no mention of that other editor occurred. It also provides context for why the userspace got blanked--very understandable under the circumstances. So it seems unlikely that Int21h is connected to either account. The odd thing is why anyone would dig back so far in the past to a unanimous and uncontroversial community decision, and then halt at that point to raise a fuss without taking another two minutes to see why it was handled that way. |
|||
To Int21h: whatever recent controversy you were in that you think this relates to, it is remarkable that you found that obscure user page without noticing that WP:BLANK had nothing to say about blanking user pages back in early 2007. My edit history has nearly 60,000 actions. The only easily searchable index is at the administrative noticeboard where the ban was discussed, and if you had searched there you would have quickly seen why it was handled that way. I have little idea how standards have changed six years later, although it would not be difficult to imagine that if something that extreme occurred again the end result would have been about the same. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Durova|<span style="color:#009">Durova</span>]]</font><sup>''[[User talk:Durova|412]]''</sup> 18:38, 28 February 2013 (UTC) |
|||
:OK OK. I missed the whole discussion about whoever that person was. My bad. I don't care about Arkhamite (yes I obviously know he was banned that much is obvious by the userpage) or the controversy surrounding it at this point. The link to the old policy (it is changed) was what I was after. These controversies are too much for me and it would simply take too long to go through old controversies to determine policy as a first step; it is simpler just to ask the most reasonably informed editor and get shortcuts about a point in question. You obviously think I am wrong, and I would love to answer your question about my question's remarkable-ness but I'm not sure that is really what you want here, so with that goodbye.

The FAC is a redlink, but it's quite an impressive achievement you've made at that article. Good structure, well referenced. A few suggestions: |
|||
* The [http://hfc.nps.gov/carto/PDF/BISCmap1.pdf official park map] should be US Government public domain, right? Would be very useful to see a visual outline of the park's boundaries (linked for convenience, can be modified for article display). |
|||
* The article introduction gives a misleading impression that the only endangered species within the park boundaries are cacti and palms. One of the more interesting and significant things about this park is the variety of endangered species that live there, including the American Crocodile (definitely endangered, and an impressive creature--one of the world's largest crocodilians). Rather than listing specific endangered species, might be better to provide an estimate of the scope and variety. |
|||
* If I recall correctly, south Florida has the only habitats in the world where alligators and crocodiles coexist. Don't have a source for that unfortunately (learned it many years ago) but should be easily verifiable if true. Worth mentioning even though alligators are relatively uncommon within park grounds. |
|||
* Are there endangered insects and endangered fish in the park? |
|||
* Might be useful to organize the bird population in terms of migratory patterns. Florida is the winter migratory location for a variety of North American bird species and the summer migratory location for several South American and Mesoamerican species. Since it's one of the few major land masses in this part of the world at that latitude that isn't arid, the variety of species is incredible. Could be good to provide an indication of which season various species would be present, as well as a mention of the nonmigratory species (the [[Snail Kite]] comes to mind because it's a common site in the Everglades, although am unsure whether [[apple snail]]s would be found around Biscayne Bay). |
|||
* A handful of phrases could use a little proofreading polish. One of the facts most readers would be unfamiliar with is that "island" and "key" or "cay" are essentially interchangeable terms in this part of the world (the latter two originated from the Taino people of the Bahamas). Might be too much of a digression to give the etymology, so not sure how to rephrase "The largest key or island is..." which is a turn of phrase that could easily give the impression that keys and islands are different. Subordinate commas might solve that dilemma. Another much simpler phrasing that needs minor editing is, "as well as an occasional crocodiles..." |
|||
Overall, great work as always. Mainly could use a bit of expansion about the ecology. <font face="Verdana">[[User:Durova|<span style="color:#009">Durova</span>]]</font><sup>''[[User talk:Durova|412]]''</sup> 00:24, 12 March 2013 (UTC) |

:Thank You! Excellent suggestions. I recognize that things went sideways for you and you have every right to feel somewhat indignant, but you have a keen eye which can still make a difference, especially at FAC and similar. The primary editor there (Acroterion) is an excellent admin and has 1600 plus article starts but this is his first FA effort.

==Do you want to collaborate in the edition of Jessie J's page?== |
|||
Hi, I'm JD3rulo. The thing is that I'm a huge fan of Jessie J, I have made changes in her page, but other users have removed them, replying that the links I referred to don't belong to reliable sources. So I'm wondering if you could dedicate part of your time in helping me to fill some topics that are abandoned, such as Jessie J's vocal type, range and also writing updated news about her career lately. I hope you can help me, cause it seems Jessie's page has been forgotten. If you need some help to write about any article or making research, you can count on me, so this is the only thing I can give you: my friendship to make wikipedia a better and updated site. Chao, have a nice day![[User:JD3rulo|JD3rulo]] ([[User talk:JD3rulo|talk]]) 00:32, 17 October 2013 (UTC) |

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. |
|||
== ''The Bugle'': Issue CVII, February 2015 == |
|||
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red]], and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone. |

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]] |

Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. |
|||
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F7|section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-disputed fair use rationale-notice --> |

Hi Durova, Really impressed by your restoration work! Absolutely brilliant! I'm working with some museums in Yorkshire, UK and have recently uploaded a high resolution version of [[Willam Smith (geologist)|William Smith]]'s pioneering geological map. This image is very true to the map as it is but you can see that the colours have faded and there has been some damage. Currently, the brighter, low-resolution version is in more useful as a thumbnail illustration in articles but it would be incredible to see the large version restored! You can see how bright the original was from a recently discovered, unfaded copy uploaded to Flickr here: [https://www.flickr.com/photos/geologicalsocietylibrary/sets/72157651449480656/ Rediscovered Smith Map from the Geological Society]. Unfortunately, the Geological Society aren't being very forward thinking about their Public Domain holdings! What are your thoughts?

==File source problem with File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif== |

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]] |
|||
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif]]'''. 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif|image description page]]. |
|||
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> |

Interest In Learning Restoration Practices
Durova, per your userpage I am reaching out to see what I can assist with in re: restoration of images or other documents that can be uploaded to Wikipedia/Wikimedia. I have no knowledge of this subject at the moment and am a fledgling user, so any information you have will be beneficial—necessary programs, practices and all the rest. Cheers!

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
- updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
For the Milhist co-ordinators, AustralianRupert and MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The file File:Jousting helmet.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

File source problem with File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif. 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, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mattbr 07:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
