Hi, I noticed you uploaded three pdfs of Gilchrist's Pictor Ignotus. While the text is in the public domain, surely the Google logo that those pdfs contain is not...? Just wondering. Petropoxy (Lithoderm Proxy) (talk) 21:57, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Petropoxy (Lithoderm Proxy). I'm not aware of a problem, except the free advertising. Removing the first page is a trick I have not given a high priority, I'm more interested in the content. Let me know if you find it is a serious problem, or if you are interested in what I'm doing with Blake. cygnis insignis 21:49, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Never mind; it seems that the file of the logo itself is labeled as "non-copyrightable" because it consists only of typeface. Good luck with the Blake PDFs; myself I hope to have all of the files from the Blake archive uploaded here at some point, when I have time to do so. Petropoxy (Lithoderm Proxy) (talk) 07:56, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm considered[ing] the categorisation, along with everything else. This is a very famous poem, so why modify these? I'm sure you have your reasons, but you might consider seeing what I come up with before removing things - I'm not exactly new at this. Or give helpful suggestions, the project I am beginning is very complex. And why haven't you downloaded the Blake archive yet?! cygnis insignis 17:44, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Look, I don't go around looking for things to remove. It's just a question of sub-categorization. If Category:Songs of Innocence and Experience is categorized under Category:Poetry books, which is categorized under Category:Poetry, then the Categorization of The Tyger as poetry is redundant. Helpful suggestions? Be less confrontational. I'm trying to earn my BFA, and there are a truckload of files on the Blake archive. I download them as I need them, ie in working with the various articles relating to William Blake that I write for Wikipedia. ..and there's still a lot of writing to do before I start thinking about images. Furthermore the Blake Archive insists that its images not be used without permission, which I have obviously not been doing. If I take images as needed and in batches that are too small to be easily noticed, it helps prevent things like this from happening. What a tone!? I'll get around to it when I have time. I'm a volunteer and it's not my obligation, so don't presume to scold me for my inaction.

I hope in the future our relations can be more cordial. Until then, Petropoxy (Lithoderm Proxy) (talk) 06:37, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I merged the threads and struck the comment. I assumed the 'demand', an enormous task mentioned only 2 days before, was ludicrous enough to indicate its humorous intent. Barring that, is there still a problem? I've seen your (or your proxy's) own contributions to Blake articles, and talk pages, I'm sure you are aware that "The Tyger" is a poem, not a book. Good luck with the studies, cygnis insignis 08:07, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll finalise the other details as they emerge. I'm uploading better images if you interested. cygnis insignis 15:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I apologize, I'm under a lot of stress and I overreacted. Thanks, Petropoxy (Lithoderm Proxy) (talk) 22:28, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Don't give it another thought :) I noticed your work below got promoted, deservedly, but the weird thing is I had just finished working on the Descriptive Catalogue when I came here to do something else. Nearly finished I should say, because the same work was not reproduced in the scan of Gilchrist's Blake. This would have been a perfect coincidence, but the version of the Canterbury Pilgrims is, I think, slightly different. However, I can link yours in until I get around to replacing it with the exact version. Cheers, cygnis insignis 09:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
