Petit aide

Bonjour, bien cher Racconish, comment va tu? Moi ça va.

Je te demande la gentilesse d'un petit aide sul la photo de Gaia Zucchi. Je l'ai prise à elle avec son Google Pixel 6 mais les Metadata ne se voyent pas. Poutquoi. Peux-tu m'aider, s'il te plait? Grazie mille et à bientôt. Rei Momo (talk) 06:48, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Bonne rentrée ?

Bonjour cher Racconish,

J'espère que ta rentrée se déroule bien et que tu es en forme.

Un contributeur "zélé" n'a pas pris le temps d'échanger avec moi au sujet du principe des PD-ID-France et a déposé une demande de suppression :

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Identite-Pomme-2012-Sacem.jpg

Ce fichier est pourtant bie publié comme une "photo d'identité" par la Sacem sur son site d'archives publiques.

PD-ID-France est pourtant très précis : Ce fichier est inéligible aux droits d'auteur et est en conséquence dans le domaine public

Le fait que la photo soit ratée, floue, mal cadrée ou non conforme à la règlementation 2023 des papiers d'identité ne peut être invoqué, surtout qu'il s'agit d'une photo d'identité Sacem.

Si tu veux bien retirer cette demande de suppression comme le suggère l'intéressé dans son passage N° 1) ? Merci. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:TwoWings#c-TwoWings-20230926071000-Tisourcier-20230925164200

Licence openedition

Hello Raccoon, j'espère que tu vas bien.

Je viens vers toi concernant un certain nombre d'illustrations que j'ai récemment importé. Elles se trouvent sous la licence openedition. Je voudrais être sûr de mon coup, car j'ai un léger doute : selon toi cette licence est-elle bien valide en équivalence 4.0 CC Commons ? Bien à toi, Ruyblas13 (talk) 08:57, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Bonjour Ruyblas13, je comprends que tu te grattes la tête, le sujet n'étant pas clair. Il me semble en tout cas qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une licence CC-BY-SA ni d'une licence CC-BY en l'absence d'une mention explicite. Le site d'OpenEdition dit que la licence par défaut du site est CC-BY-NC-ND, qui n'est pas acceptable sur Commons en raison des contraintes NC et ND, sauf en cas de licence explicite OpenEdition Books. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'explication claire des termes de cette licence, sauf la référence à l'exception pour copie privée qui à mon sens n'est pas suffisante pour Commons, n'autorisant pas explicitement l'usage commercial (NC) et les dérivations (ND). En outre, l'exception de copie privée a en principe pour contrepartie la rémunération de cette copie. Mais tout cela est dit de manière si lapidaire qu'il serait utile de demander d'autres avis sur Commons:Village pump/Copyright. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 10:13, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok, Raccoon, je te remercie pour ton analyse des droits (et non-droits) d'openedition. J'irais évoquer ce problème et ce manque de clarté des tenants et aboutissants de cette licence sur la page que tu m'as indiqué. Bien à toi, Ruyblas13 (talk) 10:40, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

P.S. : peut-être y a t-il eu des précédents imports sous cette licence pouvant éventuellement faire jurisprudence quant à utilisation ? Ruyblas13 (talk) 11:00, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Voir Open Access... qui n'apporte pas vraiment de réponse claire selon moi. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 11:48, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Ouaip, je l'avais déjà vu... et oui, rien à y prendre de probant ou substantiel. Ruyblas13 (talk) 12:02, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Mark Twain at Stormfield

Hello there. I've been working to categorize media related to Mark Twain, which has proven to be quite a task. Yesterday I created a category for Edison's 1909 film Mark Twain at Stormfield. I've gone through the videos you uploaded, and became frustrated that I couldn't identify the young man who brings a hat to one of Twain's daughters. A search for some information about that led me to this page at Britannica. This is a far better copy of the film — more complete and at the correct speed. (It also appears that the YouTube film is backwards; I'm going to check for the placement of Twain's jacket pocket or some other clue confirming that.) Since the caption reads "Public domain video", is there a way you can get that print of the film somewhere and upload it here? Thanks so much for your help, once again. — WFinch (talk) 18:48, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Photos en violation de copyright

Bonjour Racconish, j'ai détecté des photos qui me semblent en violation des licences :

• File:Nasser Bourita.jpg versus issafrica.org ;
• File:Ministry of foreign affairs morocco.jpg versus diplomatie.ma, site sur lequel se trouvent de nombreuses autres occurrences (mentions légales) ;
• File:M. Abdelouafi Laftit.jpg, dont je n'ai pas réussi à identifier la source originelle.

Comme je n'ai pas trop compris la procédure à suivre dans un tel cas, pouvez-vous faire le nécessaire ou faire suivre à qui de droit ?

Il faudrait aussi vérifier File:Ryanair Destinations.png qui paraît dérivé de File:European countries in which ryainar operates2.svg, sans que cela soit mentionné.

Une étude comparative de 2023

Bonjour Racconish, j'espère que tu vas bien.

Comme tu contribues régulièrement dans Commons, où tu es admin, j'ai pensé que tu pouvais éventuellement être intéressé par cette étude récente centrée sur les arts visuels dans Wikipédia, avec quelques comparaisons entre Wikipédia, Wikimedia Commons et Wikidata : Waqās Ahmed et Martin Lewis Poulter, « Representation of Non-Western Cultural Knowledge on Wikipedia: The Case of the Visual Arts », Digital Studies / Le champ numérique, vol. 13, no 1,‎ 9 janvier 2023 , lire en ligne. Mais peut-être la connaissais-tu déjà, elle date de janvier. Bonne soirée JMGuyon (talk) 17:04, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

@JMGuyon: , je ne connaissais pas cette intéressante étude et je te remercie de me l'avoir indiquée. Pour ma part, je m'occupe en particulier de téléverser des films de tous pays et il me semble qu'il y a à la base un déséquilibre dans la quantité de films disponibles sur internet, amplifié par une difficulté d'accès liée à la langue. Bonne soirée à toi aussi. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 17:39, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Racconish j'ignorais que tu t'occupais particulièrement de films ; bien entendu je ne parlais pas pour toi, j'ai le souvenir de merveilleux articles, extrêmement diversifiés d'un point de vue géographique, que tu as rédigés, et je ne doute pas du fait que tes intérêts soient très variés. Merci pour ton analyse ; m'étonne un peu le biais géographique plus marqué dans Commons que Wikipédia, alors que ce devrait être l'inverse, dans la mesure où la barrière de la langue joue davantage dans wp (obligation de rédiger, sourcer). Mais comme tu dis il y a moins de films non-occidentaux sur internet, sans doute aussi moins de photos d'art ; il faudrait voir s'il y a moins de photos en général dans les pays du sud, malgré les iphones. Bien cordialement--JMGuyon (talk) 17:59, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

File:The King of Kings (1927).webm

Good morning.

I wanted to upload a new version of the file mentioned in the title from this source - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQyi2evHclc&ab_channel=EpicEarth via video2commons. Due to the higher file quality and the fact that it is a restored version of the film from the recent Lobster Films Blu Ray release. However, I get an error DownloadError: b"ERROR: Unable to download video subtitles for 'live_chat': Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"

Knowing that you upload silent films and have greater competences, could you upload a new version of "The King of Kings" from the source I provided?

The YouTube upload is an upscaled version of the fanmade reconstruction i created and uploaded to the Internet Archive back in 2016. It was assembled, alongside footage from the 1999 reconstrucion of the original cut (already uploaded in Commons by a third party), in SD so to keep the quality of the VHS main source, which is the one the current upload uses. Despite being in the public domain, my contributions tend to be omitted. If the file were to be superseded by my reconstruction, it would be nice to be credited at least in this site for once.

À nouveau des requêtes pour suppression

Bonjour cher Racconish,

Comme déjà par le passé, un contributeur veut supprimer des photos que j'ai importées en interprétant les règlementations. Si tu veux bien m'aider sur ces cas :

Le Corniaud (photo prise en Italie lors du tournage). Cas similaire de PD-Italy à celui de la photo avec de Funès et Jacques Dynam à Rome. Ces photos font partie des éléments de promotion du film en France et à l'international à sa sortie. L'argument porte sur la notion de "première publication" qui ne figure pas dans la loi italienne et non de "première création" qui y figure :

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Le_Corniaud

Pour les autres fichiers, je suis moins catégorique, je suis moins calé que pour le PD-Italy. Je vais donc accepter leur suppression.

Si tu pouvais m'aiderà étayer les arguments, ce serait sympa. ;)

File:The Unknown (1927).webm

A new restoration of the film by the George Eastman Museum, with funding from a NFPF program aimed at films who have recenetly entered the public domain, was recently uploaded to YouTube. It contains some of the missing scenes and all the intertitles are reconstructed from the "original cutting continuity" despite having a GEM/2022 watermark.

I was thinking on uploading it as a separate file since yours got featured on MOTD early in the year, but dunno if it should be trimmed right from the MGM logo or from the introductory titles to the reconstruction, thus crediting both the NFPF and the GEM (for which the watermark is owed). Mayimbú (talk) 06:34, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Mayimbú, uploading separately is appropriate if the copy is different (which seems to be the case since the length is different). I think the introduction is copyrighted and should be cut out, regardless of any credits in the file description. Cheers, — Racconish ^💬 07:48, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Was checking in the copyright records if there was some registred copies of The Unknown. Before giving up, i looked in the back cover of the Blu-ray from which the restoration comes from and it reads: "The Unknown 2022 restoration under exclusive license from the George Eastman Museum. All rights reserved." Guess i have to keep the downloaded copy to myself. Mayimbú (talk) 05:41, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Mayimbú, I beg to differ. Granted there are some new elements that justify copyright protection, such as music and extras, but we are only concerned here with the filmed sequences and the intertitles. The filmed part is clearly a mechanical restoration based on a French ans Czech prints, and not a creation. The new intertitles are "created" using the original cutting continuity, which is a listing of every scene/title in a film that had been used used by the original editors. IMO the latter process is not creative/original enough to justify copyright protection. — Racconish ^💬 09:35, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

File:Steamboat Willie (1928) by Walt Disney.webm

Hi, I'm trying to understand what changes you made, your version has a resolution of 1,296 × 1,072, which is lower than @Yann's 1,920 × 1,080 version (and what I see when downloading from video.disney.com). Legoktm (talk) 17:27, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

I cropped out the black sides. — Racconish ^💬 19:30, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Ah, makes sense. Could you overwrite it with this version? It's the same crop to remove the black borders, but it keeps the 1080p resolution, as otherwise MediaWiki will serve everyone 720p copies. Thanks! Legoktm (talk) 20:02, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Also pinging @Yann :) Legoktm (talk) 20:34, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

It seems to me your version has the black borders and in any case I suggest we should wait until the server will have handled the heavier versions. — Racconish ^💬 20:46, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Huh? It's the same crop as yours, a width of 1,296. Maybe your client is adding the borders (e.g. VLC does)? I don't know what you mean by "I suggest we should wait until the server will have handled the heavier versions" given that when a new version is uploaded it has to redo the transcodes from scratch. Legoktm (talk) 20:49, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Here's a snapshot from my version, no black borders on the side. Legoktm (talk) 20:52, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

This is 1,296 × 1,080. I don't see how you could get anything bigger from Disney. Yann (talk) 20:56, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

@Yann: to clarify, you uploaded a 1920x1080 version, and then Racoonish cropped it down to 1296x1072. I took your original version and redid the horizontal crop, but kept the same vertical height to get 1296x1080, which is what I'm asking for to be uploaded.

The Singing Fool (1928)

Would you be willing to get a copy of this film and upload it? Internet Archive's version appears to be cut off right towards the end, so is incomplete, and therefore not usable in its entirety. Sincere thanks to you if you can. PseudoSkull (talk) 23:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Wikisource transcription syncing

I would like to kindly request to please be careful before you upload a new revision of a video file that no Wikisource transcription was already done of it. You can see the Wikisource transcription in the file usage (Index:, Page:, etc.). If the newer version of a video is considerably longer (or shorter), this can break the Wikisource transcription completely, since the timestamps become desynchronized. In other words, the timestamps pointing to certain times in the dialogue/scenery are out of sync and no longer correct.

Many times now I've discovered by accident that files linked to Wikisource transcriptions have been changed at Commons.

And if you change the language of the film in the original file, as was done at File:Santa Claus (1925).webm, the Wikisource transcription situation at s:Santa Claus (1925 film) becomes even more confusing.

I suppose while I'm here I should also ask you about File:The Wizard of Oz (1925).webm and s:The Wizard of Oz (1925 film), which has been broken for about a year. I am confused as to why the new HD revision is considerably shorter than the original revision. I know that there are content differences between the two revisions, making both of them incomplete. So I think they should be merged, but this would be time-consuming and tedious, and I've been scratching my head about that situation for a long time. In any case, the Wikisource transcription relies on an older revision, and some time ago, I actually had an incident at Wikisource where this was pointed out to me by another editor who was trying to verify some of the content in the film, but couldn't. PseudoSkull (talk) 12:15, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@PseudoSkull: your initial upload of File:Santa Claus (1925).webm was defective (0s, 0bps) and the second one also, which is why I reverted it. But in any case I understand your concern and will be careful about it. — Racconish ^💬 12:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

@Racconish: What do you mean it was defective? Is there any way to fix it back to the original, to Commons's standards? PseudoSkull (talk) 13:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

As I said, zero seconds, zero bps : nothing to read, which is why I redid the conversion from scratch. — Racconish ^💬 13:36, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

I see. Well, unfortunately, the original video I got that file from doesn't exist anymore, and I don't know how to fix the BPS issue. I may still have the files locally. PseudoSkull (talk) 14:09, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

The Kid (1921)

Hi Racconish,

I have a good AV1 webm of a better transfer of this same 1921 cut of the film (File:The Kid (1921).webm. It's under the 4GiB limit, though not by much. Here it is on archive.org. I tried uploading the copy via the chunked uploader, but it failed a few times. I will put in a request for a server-side upload, but I figured I would ping you as the original uploader. I have no problem updating the Wikisource timestamps once it goes through. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 19:51, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@D. Benjamin Miller: thanks. If a chunked upload has failed, a server-side upload makes sense. — Racconish ^💬 22:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Yep, I tried a few times with different settings, but I don't think a chunked upload will go. It's 4,100,279,219 bytes (so ~95.5% of the 4GiB size limit). Sent a request so it should be updated soon. I will also upload a frame-by-frame recreation of of File:The Kid scenes.ogv too (the oldest version with audio should be removed, and I've replaced it with an audio-less version for the moment).

I have some other old movies that I'll hopefully be able to get up soon as well (some new altogether, some copies of existing ones). I am now using AV1 for all my WebM encodes as it's much faster and higher quality than VP9. D. Benjamin Miller (talk) 23:53, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Couper les marges

Bonjour, Comment fais-tu pour couper les marges d'un film, i.e. File:Conspiracy (1930) by Christy Cabanne.webm, où il y a un logo à enlever en plus ? Merci, Yann (talk) 10:36, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

J'utilise ffmpeg, mais Commons:VideoCutTool est probablement plus simple. Cordialement, — Racconish ^💬 10:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
