== Licensing a photograph of yours for commercial catalog ==

Hello Mike Peel, 
I am representing an advertising agency in Taiwan that provide advertising and marketing communication works for our clients.
we would like to use one of your photos (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Westfield_London.jpg) from the wikipedia to be printed (with some alterations on contrast and colors only) on one of our client's corporate catalog. 
The reason we choose this photo is because, according to our client, their product were used as building materials for this particular building. Their product is porcelain tiles. So this building is one of their successful cases.
Please let me know if you have any objections on us using your photo for this purpose.  

Thank you.

== Welcome to the Structured Commons focus group! ==

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
Hello! Thank you very much for signing up to [[c:Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Community_focus_group|the community focus group for Structured Commons]] :-)

; How to organize ourselves?

This focus group is new and experimental, and I welcome your tips and thoughts on how we can organize this in the most convenient and productive way. For now, I have posted a few separate topics on [[c:Commons talk:Structured data/Get involved/Community focus group|the focus group's talk page]]. Please add your questions there too! If we all add [[c:Commons talk:Structured data/Get involved/Community focus group|that page]] to our watchlist, that's probably a good way to stay up to date with current discussions. [[c:User:Steinsplitter|Steinsplitter]] has also initiated a brand new IRC channel specifically for Structured Commons: [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-commons-sd wikimedia-commons-sd] <small><sup>([https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-commons-sd webchat])</sup></small> which we invite you to join. Please let me know if you have other ideas on how to work together.

; Current updates

* For your agenda: IRC office hour about Structured Commons, Tuesday 21 November at 18:00 UTC in [irc://irc.freenode.net/wikimedia-office wikimedia-office] <small><sup>([https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-office webchat])</sup></small>.
* A [[m:Structured Data on Commons/Newsletter|newsletter about Structured Commons]] is sent out later today. Its frequency will probably increase from now on. You are warmly invited to [[m:Structured Data on Commons/Newsletter/Next|contribute to next issues]] — don't hesitate to add updates.
* The [[c:Commons:Structured data|documentation and info pages about Structured Data on Commons]] have received a thorough (and much overdue) update this week, in order to get them ready for all the upcoming work. Obsolete pages were archived. There are undoubtedly still a lot of omissions and bits that are unclear. You can help by editing boldly, and by leaving feedback and tips on the talk pages.
* More things (logo? tools?) to be discussed on [[c:Commons talk:Structured data/Get involved/Community focus group|the focus group's talk page]]!

Warmly, your community liaison, [[c:User:SandraF (WMF)|SandraF (WMF)]] ([[User talk:SandraF (WMF)|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]])

[[m:User:Abittaker (WMF)|Amanda]], [[m:User:RIsler (WMF)|Ramsey]] and I will give updates about the project, and you can ask us questions. The log will be published afterwards.

; Tools update

Many important community tools for Commons and Wikidata will benefit from an update to structured data in the future. You can help indicate which tools will need attention:
* Check [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GVR0jghBWuAGqJaT7KVXigMYWWNzdnrnwI9nWqfJrCo/edit#gid=0 this Google spreadsheet] and leave your comments (ping me if you'd like full editing access to the spreadsheet)
* More and more tools will also be [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T180197 tracked on Phabricator] and on [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data/Get_involved/Tools the tools inventory page]. Feel free to add and edit.

== hello? ==

Hi, maybe I missed your mail but as far as I can remember, you are one of the few jurors who did not reply to me in the last two weeks. I have sent you a request for comment about the possible finalist of Singapore, than I need to train a last juror to the use of the tool Montage for at least two other countries. How are things in Brazil? Are you busy there? Let me know.--[[User:Alexmar983|Alexmar983]] ([[User talk:Alexmar983|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 08:41, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
: {{ping|Alexmar983}} Hi, sorry, I'm aware I need to get back to you about Singapore, and will do so soon. I've been travelling, so I haven't got around to that yet. Is there anything else you're waiting for from me? I'm not sure what's going on with the Brazil judging. Thanks. [[User:Mike Peel|Mike Peel]] ([[User talk:Mike Peel#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 09:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
:: Good to know. I just wanted to be sure you are "receptive". So I can put you also in some long-term deadline with some countries when you are back :) Basically it's going to be India, Greece, Romania or rest of the world... I'll check which one has more astronomical images. About Brazil, I can tell you that in [[Commons_talk:Montage#Wiki_Science_Competition]] [[User:Chicocvenancio]] requested the campaign. Even if he forgot to send some email, or just asked other people to make the first trimming phase, as you soon as you enter [https://tools.wmflabs.org/montage/#/ montage] you will see it listed. You seem expert, I'll just put you in one of "my" campaign soon and you will probably simply discover from the interface when Brazil is ready, because it will be listed there as well.--[[User:Alexmar983|Alexmar983]] ([[User talk:Alexmar983|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 09:59, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
::: {{ping|Alexmar983}} Yup, I'm receptive. I don't have much time to focus on this at the moment as I'm travelling, but that will change towards the end of this month, so I'll complete things then if I don't get to them before. I've just replied about Singapore. I've seen your India email, and will look at that next. Thanks.

ok Mike I also need you in Greece, because is full of astronomical images. This is a fifth of the work in India. Is it going to be a problem? In the meantime, I have spoken to another Brazilian juror, it seems he was not contacted as well.

::::::That means that Chico inserted your name but did not "activate" it. That's why I am not "pushing" to help, if he did that too, it means it was very close to start! So, instead of stressing you with more international task maybe we can gently help Brazil this way. You have to revise the images in any case so you can start to make some clean-up. Go to [[:Category:Images_from_Wiki_Science_Competition_2017_in_Brazil]]. take the pictures with no scientific information and put them in [[:Category:Obviously ineligible submissions for WSC 2017 in Brazil]] removing the specific category and adding the "uns" (unsuitable) tag [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ABooom%21.jpg&type=revision&diff=280015155&oldid=269961643 this way]. Don't be too critical, just remove the obvious crap. 
::::::So [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fotografando_no_nascer_do_sol.jpg this one] is ok even if it is not very clear... [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flor_de_Artur_2.jpg this one] totally lacks any scientific description and it is quite at the limit but maybe it can still be used in a scientific article if correctly categorized so I would be tolerant, [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gato_observando.jpg this one] is a cat... we have enough images of cat, remove... [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ice-water.jpg this one] is a "thermal equilibrium" which is a scientific description but in the end it's a just a winter river... so it could go, this [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:LOGOMARCA_DA_ASSEMBLEIA_DE_DEUS_EM_NOSSA_SENHORA_DOS_REM%C3%89DIOS-PI.png church logo] can go too.

I can no longer see Brazil in Montage, although {{ping|Chicocvenancio}} sent an email to say it's been activated, so I don't know what's happening there at the moment. Thanks.

::::::::Well at least it's something, as long it's less work for all the jurors. If he thinks it's been activated and it's not there it could be a "newbie" mistake or a bug.

Hi Mike, as this image depicts a recent work of art, the freedom-of-panorama exception of Brazil is needed to make this upload legal. However, [[Commons:Freedom_of_panorama#Brazil|FoP of Brazil]] requires that "artist's work is properly attributed". Therefore, you need to add at least the name of the "sculptor" (and ideally also the name of the original work) to the description. --[[User:Túrelio|Túrelio]] ([[User talk:Túrelio|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:14, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

== Infobox ==

Amazing work at Wikidata_infobox. I am using it exclusively now, simplifies so many things. I just added [[:Category:Edward Shepard Wilkinson]]. I was skeptical of the vertical format, because the early versions created a block of whitespace, now I am hooked.  [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:27, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
: {{ping|Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )}} That's great to hear. :-) BTW, there's a question about whether to keep the defaultsort code in this template, as it can conflict with existing defaultsort statements, see the discussion at [[Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Proposal_to_bot-deploy_Wikidata_Infobox]] - any thoughts on that? Thanks. [[User:Mike Peel|Mike Peel]] ([[User talk:Mike Peel#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:32, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
::What is the holdup with Commons not having its own identifier box in Wikidata? Each other project has a box, Commons is "Other sites". [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:48, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
::: I think the logic here is that all of the ones that have their own identifier box have multiple languages to link to; commons (and meta and wikidata) don't, so they end up in the 'other sites' box instead. Personally, I agree that it should have its own box (and ideally, allow multiple links, to categories + galleries), but it would take some pushing on Wikidata to make that happen. Thanks.

Your infobox does not add a surname category if it does not already exist in Commons. Can it add a redlinked category then add [[:Category:Surnames]] to that redlinked category to make it blue? [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
: {{ping|Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )}} It could show the redlink (but not auto-create the category) if desired, but is that something that would work widely across Commons if it's bot-deployed? I can imagine quite a few redlinks being created... Thanks. [[User:Mike Peel|Mike Peel]] ([[User talk:Mike Peel#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 17:08, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
::I think people would get upset by the redlinks unless another bot turned them blue with [[:Category:Surnames]]. I have not created a bot yet, so I would not know how to do it. We need an online class on bot creation.

::: {{ping|Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )}} I've coded up an option to show redlinks: if you try <nowiki>{{Wikidata Infobox/sandbox|test=y}}</nowiki> at, e.g., [[:Category:Ángel Ganivet]], then you should see the redlink in preview. Then you can create the category, and remove "test=y" before saving it. Would that work for you? I've also removed defaultsort in this version, given the issue raised at VP/P about it, but it could be added back later. Thanks.

Relying on Wikidata ''to obtain a Q&nbsp;number'' searching values of {{property|P373}} for the &#123;{PAGENAME}}, first, depends on some kind of cache not actually controllable. Second, this mechanism can be subverted e.g. by a conflicting P373 value in a page protected on Wikidata. Commons should '''remember''' all Q&nbsp;numbers it uses for its content '''itself''', not delegate to Wikidata yet another part of its security.

: {{ping|Incnis Mrsi}} I'm not using P373, I'm using the sitelinks to Commons (and P401, if the sitelink is to a category page). If there are problems with that link, then they need to be fixed, not worked around... Thanks.

:: OK, you use the {{property|P301}} from another Wikidata item, hence the stuff actually involves ''two'' items from Wikidata. Even greater supply of points of failure, and <span style="font-family:serif">I</span> wary of it. [[User:Incnis Mrsi|Incnis Mrsi]] ([[User talk:Incnis Mrsi|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 22:55, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
::: {{ping|Incnis Mrsi}} Yes, sorry for mis-remembering the property number. The good thing about maintaining these on Wikidata is that they are shared between the different Wikimedia properties, so if something does go wrong then it's more likely it will be spotted and fixed if the values are there rather than here. If we try to manage the links directly here, then it's more work, and it's a lot more easy to become out of sync with the rest of the Wikimedia projects. So while the number of potential points of failure are a bit higher, the likelihood of those failures is reduced, and the likelihood of the failure being fixed increases. It's the same argument about why it's better to manage interwikis on wikidata rather than on all of the separate wikimedia projects - and commons has always been poor at interwiki links until we had them all on Wikidata (tbh, it's still poor, but this should dramatically improve them at the same time as showing the info about the topics). Thanks. [[User:Mike Peel|Mike Peel]] ([[User talk:Mike Peel#top|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:00, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
:::: What sync are you speaking about? Q&nbsp;numbers are stable, and change only due to mergers (newer duplicates into older items), in which case {{tl|label}} and similar things can operate through a redirect. Updates to data? They are expected to happen in the ''topic'' item, not in its respective(P910) ''category'' item. The danger of subversion by a rogue Wikidata user exists in any case, but having &#123;{…|Q''nnn''}} we go straightly to d:Q''nnn'' and repair damage (if possible) or remove a Wikidata device altogether (if irreparable). With argumentless templates relying on reverse site links and P301, in case of subversion, we will have first to solve a puzzle. What namely was subverted, was it the value of P301 or the site link (connecting categories page here and there) or, like in the case above, data in the topic item. Look at the diagram below: [[User:Incnis Mrsi|Incnis Mrsi]] ([[User talk:Incnis Mrsi|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:46, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

::::: I don't understand, sorry. I'll have to think about this. But from what I understand, I think this work is easier done alongside the interwikis rather than trying to have a separate system (and they mostly work through sitelinks), and requesting info through specified qids is more computationally expensive than using the data accessed through the sitelink, so we should only do that where needed (i.e., where we need P301 links in this case).

:Hi. Related to this, I think it's useful having a "physical" reference to the Wikidata identifier here rather than ''relying on reverse sitelinks and...''. Why? If they delete the item there, having here the ID allows everyone to contest that ("''I want Q48134356 restored because it fills blablabla notability criterion and blablabla''").

:::::::::: Hi {{U|Mike Peel|Mike}} I'm sorry but I can't follow what the problem is from this discussion: I don't know what link isn't showing, so you need to give me some more information so that I can try to track it down.
:::::::::: As for the general issue, each page in our projects will usually have an "associated" entry on Wikidata. The software maintains the link between the page and Wikidata internally, so when you make a call for properties on a page, it will return properties from the associated Wikidata entry by default. That is the "cheapest" call that can be made, and is preferred. If you have to supply a Qid to fetch information from a Wikidata entry which is not associated with the current page, that is called "arbitrary access" and incurs a cost equivalent to making an "expensive" parser call as described at [[:en:Wikipedia:Template limits]] - and becomes subject to the same limits. If you don't have to use a Qid, then please don't; the code is far more efficient without it. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:40, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

== Use of <nowiki>{Wikidata Infobox}</nowiki> ==

Hello Mike Peel. I understand that you are heavily involved in this <nowiki>{{Wikidata Infobox}}</nowiki>-template. But is it for uses on category-pages or at gallery pages, and are there a need to create a small gallerypage for the probably best use of it, or should we wait until we have some more things to fill in on the gallery-pages before we create them.

The reason I ask is this little edit-war I recently had on the subject of the new speed skating world champion from Japan [[Miho Takagi (speed skater)|Miho Takagi]] (gallery page, [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Miho_Takagi_(speed_skater)&action=history edit-history]), [[:Category:Miho Takagi]] ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Miho_Takagi&action=history edit-history]) and wikidata items [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q444421&curid=419269&action=history edit-history] for Wikidata-person Miho Takagi (Q444421) and [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q50739509&action=history edit-history] for Wikidata-category Category:Miho Takagi (Q50739509).

: {{ping|Migrant}} The template is primarily designed to be used on categories, but it should also work OK on gallery pages. Personally, I prefer categories to galleries, since galleries are often unmaintained and stale, while categories are generally more used. But in the case where both a gallery and a category are wanted, then you can have both an topic item and a category item on Wikidata, and then have commons sitelinks to both gallery and category. You can also then use the infobox on both (just make sure you set {{P|P301}} in the category item to point to the topic item, and the template will use that to display the topic info rather than the category info). However, that's normally done for the wider topics, where categories also exist on Wikipedia, rather than a narrow topic like this - and see [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Notability#RfC:_Notability_and_Commons this ongoing Wikidata notability discussion]. So I wouldn't include consideration of the infobox in the decision of whether a gallery is useful to have or not. Thanks.

== Pi bot & Wikidata Infobox ==

Hello Mike,<BR/>
I saw {{u|Pi bot}} add a lot of {{tl|Wikidata Infobox}}.<BR/>
In the very few categories were I saw it, this infobox did not provide useful information (See [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Phyllotheliinae&oldid=294516979 Category:Phyllotheliinae]).<BR/>
Looking at the code, I understand that '''it can be useful for persons, monuments'''..., '''but not for all other kind of categories'''.
Of course its usefullness will improve in the future.<BR/>
I think that '''[[:User:Pi bot]] should add this template only when the wikidata item has more than 3-4 properties managed by {{tl|Wikidata Infobox}}''': {{WikidataProperty|P157}}, {{WikidataProperty|P119}}, {{WikidataProperty|P569}}...<BR/>
This list of properties should not contain media stored in wikicommons ({{WikidataProperty|P18}}, {{WikidataProperty|P154}}, {{WikidataProperty|P94}}...) as we already have them under our eyes ;-)<BR/>
I you don't do that, we risk a war of people reverting your bot addition.<BR/>

:I discovered your discussion [[User_talk:Josve05a#Wikidata_Infobox]]. Your solution is fine for me.
:But to avoid contribution fight, you perhaps should also implement my idea ;-)
:Best regards [[User:Liné1|Liné1]] ([[User talk:Liné1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 14:17, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
:: {{ping|Liné1}} Thanks for the message. Were the cases you spotted all taxonomy articles? The infobox has been designed so that it will work with all topics, but specialist parameters need to be added - in this case, taxonomy properties aren't yet included. That's straightforward to add to the uinfobox, but as per the discussion you linked to, taxonomy categories will probably be excluded, at least to start with.
:: Personally, I'd prefer to add the infobox even when it's not displaying that much information, as that shows where information on Wikidata needs improving, and might encourage people to then do so. But a minimum number of properties would be another way to go. I'm not sure it would affect too many articles, though - if you look through [[Special:Contributions/Pi_bot]] you'll see 500 randomly-selected categories, and in most cases it seems to include a reasonable amount of information. That was the test run for [[Commons:Bots/Requests/Pi bot 1]], where the wider discussion is happening. Thanks.

:::Hello,
:::Yes, I saw only taxon categories. Cheers [[User:Liné1|Liné1]] ([[User talk:Liné1|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:39, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
== Alternative Wikidata infoboxes? ==

[[Commons:Village pump#%7B%7BUser:Rama/Catdef%7D%7D userspace template]]
[[Commons:Bots/Work requests#Add links to Wikidata based on template here]]

<nowiki>*expects loud rant in 3..2...*</nowiki>

Also, [[w:d:Q30028327]] did include a link to the Commons category, but {{tl|Wikidata infobox}} did not work. I had to add the Commons category as a sitelink for that to happen. Maybe a bug or missing feature? - [[User talk:Alexis Jazz|Alexis Jazz]] 14:16, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
: {{ping|Alexis Jazz}} Yes, I'd spotted that template. My approach was going to be to avoid it for now, but I can also auto-replace it with Wikidata Infobox during the bot roll-out of it if there's consensus for that. I'll reply at the threads you linked to.
: With regards Q30028327, the infobox relies on the Commons sitelink, as that provides the link from the Commons category to the Wikidata item. If only P373 is set, then it's very difficult to do a reverse look-up to find the Wikidata item that has the correct value of P373, hence why the normal approach there is to specify the QID manually. The best thing to do is to sort out the Commons sitelinks on Wikidata, which also brings other benefits here like interwiki links. I've proposed [[:d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/Pi bot 2]] to copy obvious P373 values to commons sitelinks to reduce the number of cases where this might happen by ~600,000, and it's ready to run when appproved - support/comments there are welcome.

|imageText=An offering for our new administrator from your comrades...
|messageText=
{{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1}}, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the [[Commons:Administrators]] page and watchlist related pages (in particular [[ Commons:Administrators' noticeboard ]] an it subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|{{int:prefs-gadgets}}]] (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins&nbsp;– however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).

Please feel free to join us on IRC: {{irc|wikimedia-commons-lr|webchat=1}} on [[w:Freenode|irc.freenode.net]]. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: {{irc|wikimedia-commons-admin|webchat=1}}.

You may find [[Commons:Guide to adminship]] to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at [[COM:AB]]. 

Please also check or add your entry to the [[Commons:List of administrators|List of administrators]] and the related lists [[Commons:List of administrators by language|by language]] and [[Commons:List of administrators by date|date]] it references.<br clear="all" />
