RCE template and images that can't be removed from a category

Hi there Multichill,
I'm having a problem removing images (such as this one) that are now in Category:Temples due to a new (?) RCE template given to these images. I saw that you had started Category:Images from RCE by subject so I was hoping you'd know more about this whole issue than I do. I think the problem lies in the template {{RCE-subject|Tempel}}. I tried to fix it but I can't even seem to be able to get anywhere. Could you please have a look? Bij voorbaat dank, - Takeaway (talk) 18:36, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Nu is er weer een nieuw probleem erbij gekomen, namelijk {{RCE-subject|Panorama}}. Alle bestanden die ermee voorzien zijn, staan nu in Category:Panoramics. Ik ben bang dat als ik aan het wijzigen ga, er iets fouts zal gaan. Ik heb namelijk geen ervaring met templates. Kunt u hier misschien ook naar kijken? Het zelfde probleem komt ook voor bij Category:Restaurants, waarbij de bestanden voorzien zijn van {{RCE-subject|Restaurants}}. Met vriendelijke groet, - Takeaway (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, this edit is likely the cause. Previously these files could be found in temporary categories such as: Category:RCE suggested: Restaurant, see the mother category. The idea was to manually translate these and replace them by correct categories if relevant. Also all files are from the Netherlands, so putting the in Restaurants in the Netherlands would've been the idea. I don't know whether adding them now directly into categories using mostly dutch tags is a good idea. Recently I've thought about just removing the RCE-suggested template from all files which are left. But more to the point: feel free to replace/remove the template with categories, using a new line in the Template could do this automatically (is the bot still running Multichill?). Basvb (talk) 09:22, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Ok I decided to revert the given edit and open a discussion at the template talk page. The edit simply has a bit too high impact with negative effects of poluting non-relevant categories and producing non created Dutch categories with lots of files. Basvb (talk) 09:27, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into this Basvb. - Takeaway (talk) 13:10, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

RCE permalink not working, again

Looks like they updated their image viewer, and now the permalinks don't work anymore. --Vera ^(talk) 12:22, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

They changed their primary entry from the adlib priref to another (much longer) image number some time ago. I remember that I've had contact about this and they asked us whether we would be able to change to this number. Maybe they've now decided to turn the redirects off completely. Changing the numbers to the image number is quite difficult as these are nowhere to be found on our image pages and would require running over all of the images and requesting this number from their API and then changing it on the image page. I think I'll send them an email to ask whether my suspicions on this are correct. Basvb (talk) 14:22, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

The relevant tweet at that time was: ([1]) the new numbers are called UUID’s. Basvb (talk) 14:24, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

Ok, looks like User:Oursana has fixed the link and that the whole identifier issue was not (yet?) the problem but simply the base link. Should work fine after all files get purged/updated. Basvb (talk) 15:38, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Archaeological Survey of Ireland

Hi Multichill, perhaps you remember this discussion about a template that marks objects indexed in the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. At that time, we did not find the time to create the template and shortly thereafter the interface was changed with the consequence that the weblinks no longer worked. I've now found the time to research this again and created an initial version of {{Archaeological Survey of Ireland}} which provides links to the geographical information system run by the National Monuments Service and which sorts the objects into per-county subcategories of Category:Objects recorded in the Archaeological Survey of Ireland with known IDs. As you have much more experience with templates than me, I would be grateful if you could have a look at that. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks & kind regards, AFBorchert (talk) 13:10, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

File:Erma_river_on_Tran_-_Nikola_Petrov.jpg

Hi Multichill, yesterday I uploaded a new version of this image, with a higher resolution (1024 × 741 pixels, as opposed to the original 352 × 245). Only afterwards I noticed that someone had uploaded an even higher resolution image (1600 × 1143 pixels) on April 15, which you reverted to the smaller original resolution. Please explain your revert. Is the high resolution version deficient in ways that I haven't noticed? Greetings,--Ratzer (talk) 19:37, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

@Ratzer: please have a look at Commons:Overwriting existing files, it's a completely different file so you should upload it under a different name. Multichill (talk) 20:18, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

I think I understand Commons:Overwriting existing files. I only don't understand in what way it is a "completely different file". It is exactly the same file, with some parameters (resolution, luminosity, etc.) being different. In any case, I did upload the file under a different name, because I find it unacceptable that a better version of the same file is reset to a worse one.--Ratzer (talk) 11:48, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Uploading images - python

Hi! Can I steal some of your time? A Python newbie wants to create a script for image uploading from one Wikipedia to another (the standart ones doesn't provide features, what will be needed in final version of script)... Here is the current code:

import pywikibot

from scripts import upload

site = pywikibot.Site("en", "wikipedia")
image = "File:Project X Poster.jpg"
page = pywikibot.Page(site,image)
imagePage = pywikibot.FilePage(site,image)
desc = "Tests"

bot = upload.UploadRobot(url=imagePage.fileUrl(), description=desc,
								 keepFilename=True,
                                 verifyDescription=False, ignoreWarning=True,
                                 targetSite=pywikibot.Site('lv',
                                                           'wikipedia'))
bot.run()

But it gives error: AttributeError: 'HTTPMessage' object has no attribute 'getheader'. I'm probably just doing something silly, right? I get also warning url as string is deprecated. Use an iterable instead., but that can probably wait. --Edgars2007 (talk) 14:04, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

File:Copenhagen on fire 1807 by CW Eckersberg.jpg

Hi Multichill. You reintroduced a 2006 version of this file with the description "Commons:Overwriting existing files:". You gave no details, so could you please be more specific, considering the fact that the newer file was giving a much better representation of the painting? If it has something to do with "changing original license", I think you have been too strict about the blessings of the "PD-Old" license. It is still there - just specified. Cheers --Rsteen (talk) 10:09, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

The overwrite was in violation of Commons:Overwriting existing files (and part of a larger set) and had nothing to do with the license. Feel free to take the better version and upload it under a different name. Multichill (talk) 10:11, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for being so ignorant, but what I see is "replacement with higher resolution versions of the same file" - meaning a better scan or photo of the same painting. Do you really think we should retain every stamp-sized (or similar) pic that someone found on the internet? --Rsteen (talk) 10:25, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

It's not the same file. If I take a photo of a painting and I have a low and a high resolution version, the high resolution photo can be uploaded over the low resolution one. If I have two different photos of the same painting, that is not allowed. Just upload it under a different name. And yes, we keep every old version, but the difference is that if you upload a new version, the old version can't be used on Wikipedia. If you upload it under a different name, our (re-)users can choose which image the want to use. In both cases the files take up exactly as much disk space.

The background is that Commons wants to over choice to the re-users, in particular with paintings we've had big issues with users who overwrote existing painting images with "better" images (as in, higher resolution), but the colors were completely different. Multichill (talk) 10:33, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Well, after reading the discussion, I can see that there is basis for your action in the guidelines. However, you could have been more helpful to fellow users by telling them which part of the guidelines they were violating. I am sure everybody here have been acting in good faith, but you were not reverting a "contested" image, you were just making an inferior version stand out as the current version. You may have been providing choice, but at the same time you are forcing people to re-upload better versions, for something that seems to just be a matter of principle. Principles are important, but there is a fine line between being pedantic and being pragmatic. --Rsteen (talk) 11:57, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
