parameters toevoegen aan infoboxen

Beste Romaine, ik heb geprobeerd op Sjabloon:infobox kunststroming twee parameters toe te voegen, namelijk 'Beïnvloed door' en 'Invloed op'. Ik krijg het echter niet voor elkaar. Kun jij me wegwijs maken? Ik wil hetzelfde uitvoeren op Sjabloon:infobox kunstenaar. heinnlein'' 7 jan 2019 07:39 (CET)

Goedemorgen Hein, op zich was de aanpassing goed, maar om het in de artikelen werkend te krijgen dien je wel de juiste parameternamen te gebruiken (niet de namen van de kopjes); zie mijn aanpassing t.o.v. je eerste bewerking aan de infobox-sjabloon. Met vriendelijke groeten — Mar(c). ^[O] 7 jan 2019 11:36 (CET)

Aha, duidelijk! Ga ik straks ook op dat andere sjabloon proberen. Bedankt Mar(c)! heinnlein'' 7 jan 2019 11:50 (CET)

De andere is inmiddels ook gelukt, zie ik. Graag gedaan! — Mar(c). ^[O] 7 jan 2019 13:50 (CET)

WikiUilen

Goedemorgen Romaine,

Bedankt voor je mailtje, een en ander was helaas enigszins aan me voorbij gegaan. Ik heb de laatste weken maar weinig pagina's hier in de gaten gehouden. Aan degene(n) die me genomineerd heeft/hebben: heel erg bedankt, het doet me goed om te lezen dat hoe ik me probeer in te zetten voor het project gewaardeerd wordt!

Overigens: ik lees op de betreffende WMNL-pagina's dat de nieuwjaarsbijeenkomst op zaterdag 12 januari is, maar in het mailtje staat "op zaterdag 6 januari".

Met vriendelijke groeten — Mar(c). ^[O] 7 jan 2019 11:29 (CET)

Volgens mij is 6 januari de laatste datum dat je kunt stemmen, zodat er nog enkele dagen tijd is om de uitreiking op 12 januari goed voorbereid te kunnen doen. Edoderoo (overleg) 7 jan 2019 11:36 (CET)

(na bwc) Hallo Mar(c), We waarderen als gemeenschap heel erg andermans bijdragen, maar uiten dat maar relatief weinig.

De fout van 6 januari, wat inderdaad 12 januari moet zijn, had ik te laat door helaas. Aanmelden is nog steeds mogelijk, je krijgt dan een gratis toegangskaart toegestuurd om de dierentuin in te gaan. Romaine (overleg) 7 jan 2019 11:48 (CET)

Ja, tof dat er op deze manier aandacht is voor het meer uiten van de waardering voor elkaars werk! Ik ken het WikiUilen-project op zich wel, maar ik had niet door dat ik genomineerd was.

Ik weet nog niet of ik er komende zaterdag bij ga zijn; waarschijnlijk niet, maar ik houd de optie open. Met vriendelijke groeten — Mar(c). ^[O] 7 jan 2019 12:06 (CET)

Ik kan het je wel aanraden, het is altijd een leuke manier om je mede-wikipedianen te leren kennen. Edoderoo (overleg) 7 jan 2019 12:53 (CET)

Dat staat bovenaan m'n lijstje redenen om wel te gaan, maar het is zeker niet de énige factor in de overweging om te (kunnen) gaan. — Mar(c). ^[O] 7 jan 2019 13:50 (CET)

Zaterdag 6 januari, dat was vorig jaar. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 7 jan 2019 17:08 (CET)

@Alexis Jazz: Zie ook twee kopjes hoger, dat was een foutje. De uitreiking vindt komende zaterdag plaats op 12 januari. Romaine (overleg) 7 jan 2019 17:09 (CET)

Ah, die Wikidata weekly summary was zo lang dat dat me niet was opgevallen. Ik heb mijn opmerking verplaatst. In de mail stond "Zoals je misschien weet: jij bent genomineerd voor een WikiUil ter waardering van je illustraties op Wikipedia!", ik moet heel eerlijk toegeven dat ik tot vandaag niet wist wat een WikiUil is. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 7 jan 2019 17:29 (CET)

Dan heb je iets nieuws geleerd en tegelijkertijd een compliment gekregen! :-) Romaine (overleg) 7 jan 2019 17:32 (CET)

Dat is zo! Vraagje: blijft het aantal stemmen op iedere genomineerde geheim? Want hoewel het een mooi compliment is, eigenlijk hoor ik niet echt thuis in het rijtje. Kijk alleen al naar het aantal afbeeldingen in gebruik op nlwiki (zegt niet alles, kan vertekend zijn als een gebruiker een afbeelding heeft die in een veelgebruikte template is opgenomen):

• 1Veertje: 2878
• Agaath: 1265
• Alexis Jazz: 139
• Gouwenaar: 8781
• Mr.Nostalgic: 4086
• Multichill: 541 (+16009 voor BotMultichill +20207 voor BotMultichillT)
• Wikifrits: 4914

Ik weet al wie er niet gaat winnen. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 7 jan 2019 18:19 (CET)

Misschien is het het overwegen waard om de volgende keer deze persoonlijke berichten bij de start van de stemperiode te sturen? Dan voorkom je dat men pas na afloop van het stemmen, of per toeval van iemand anders, te horen krijgt dat hij/zij genomineerd is (lijkt me toch minder leuk). Datum en locatie waren toen ook al bekend volgens mij (zou voor sommigen qua planning ook best eens kunnen schelen). Encycloon (overleg) 7 jan 2019 19:06 (CET)

@Encycloon: Tevens hebben genomineerden dan nog een kans om de nominatie te weigeren. Ik lig de laatste tijd al genoeg onder een vergrootglas dus ik weet niet of ik de nominatie geaccepteerd zou hebben. Als het aantal stemmen op iedere genomineerde publiek gemaakt zal worden zie ik mijn naam ook liever verdwijnen van de lijst. Eigenlijk, aangezien ik er toch niet bij kan zijn en niet weet wat men gaat bespreken over de genomineerden, is het misschien sowieso beter om mijn naam van de lijst te halen. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 7 jan 2019 20:27 (CET)

Als ik de vorige keren doorlees, wordt het aantal stemmen nooit bekend gemaakt. Het zou wellicht goed zijn om deze lijst wat nadrukkelijker op de WikiUilen-pagina te zetten. En wat mij betreft staat het je te allen tijde vrij om je naam van de nominatiepagina af te halen. Encycloon (overleg) 7 jan 2019 20:41 (CET)

@Encycloon: niet op internet, maar mogelijk wel op de nieuwjaarsbijeenkomst? Ik heb de "mensen die geen WikiUil willen hebben"-lijst gekopieërd naar Overleg Wikipedia:WikiUilen#Lijst van mensen die geen WikiUil willen hebben en mezelf van de genomineerdenlijst gehaald. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 7 jan 2019 22:31 (CET)

Geen paniek, mensen worden niet "besproken", en de uitslag van de stemming wordt niet bekend gemaakt, behalve dat de winnaar een Wiki-Uil krijgt. Als mensen toch over je praten of je onder een vergrootglas leggen, staat dat geheel buiten deze Wiki-Uilen. Edoderoo (overleg) 7 jan 2019 22:44 (CET)

Gelukkig. Voor de nominatie/stemming (maar die is natuurlijk al voorbij) komen genomineerden natuurlijk wel onder een vergrootglas, want Wikipedianen willen natuurlijk weten waar ze op stemmen. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 7 jan 2019 23:51 (CET)

Ja, dat klopt. Maar ik loop hier nu ruim 13 jaar rond, en onder dat vergrootglas kom je toch niet uit, helemaal niet als gebruikers denken revolutionaire dingen te moeten uitvoeren. Toch zijn er ook gebruikers (lees: grijze muizen) die hier langer zitten dan ik, en die me nooit zijn opgevallen. Die schrijven gewoon af en toe een artikeltje. Dat vergrootglas komt vaak als gebruikers iets van het beleid vinden, of van andere gebruikers. Edoderoo (overleg) 8 jan 2019 07:12 (CET)

Beste Alexis Jazz, Het is spijtig om te horen dat je het zo ervaart en ik snap dat je er niet van houdt onder een vergrootglas te liggen. Ik denk echter dat dit niet terecht is, al was het alleen maar omdat er 43 genomineerden zijn en dat betekent in de praktijk voor de stemmers dat ze slechts een vluchtige blik werpen op een gebruiker of project. En in die vluchtige blik worden ze gevraagd om aandacht te geven aan datgene wat ze van de genomineerden waardeerden. Ik denk overigens dat je de essentie van de WikiUilen niet helemaal helder hebt, het gaat namelijk niet over wie het meeste iets gedaan heeft, maar over wie het meeste gewaardeerd wordt. En wat betreft de nominaties, er zijn dus gebruikers geweest die bij het nomineren en stemmen voor de WikiUilen aan jouw dachten en jou graag een blijk van waardering kenbaar wilden maken. In andere woorden: jou complimenten gegeven hebben! Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 8 jan 2019 09:37 (CET)

PS: Het aantal nominatoren, stemmers, etc etc en ook wie er gestemd hebben, wordt nooit bekend gemaakt. Ook niet tijdens de nieuwjaarsbijeenkomst. Dat doet er niet toe. Waar het om gaat is de uiting van waardering en het in het zonnetje zetten van diegenen. :-) Romaine (overleg) 8 jan 2019 09:37 (CET)

Edoderoo, ah, kijk. Ik loop hier pas 10 jaar rond. Dan weet je dat soort dingen nog niet.

Romaine, nee, dat snap ik wel, maar het is wel een indicatie. Met 10 edits op je naam hoef je ook niet te solliciteren naar moderator. Je zei "er zijn dus gebruikers geweest die bij het nomineren en stemmen voor de WikiUilen aan jouw dachten", meervoud. Ik betwijfel dat om eerlijk te zijn, tenminste wat betreft nominaties. Ik heb zelfs een vermoeden wie mij genomineerd heeft. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 8 jan 2019 09:50 (CET)

Tech News: 2019-02

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News writers, editors and translators wish you a pleasant 2019 year.

Recent changes

• RelatedSites extension has been undeployed. It was used to create interwiki links on Wikivoyage, now handled by Wikidata. [1]
• MediaWiki logstash logging is moving to a new infrastructure. This is an ongoing deployment. [2]
• codesearch.wmflabs.org has been updated, with new and updated repositories and a new search options for code. [3]
• On several wikis, an account named "Filter" has been created on December 17 to perform some technical maintenance on AbuseFilter. This account has sysop rights but it's a system user and no human can use it. The account already existed on wikis where AbuseFilter can perform blocks, which are issued using this account. See T212268 for more information and future plans.

Problems

• In AbuseFilter, the "Limiteren" action takes three parameters: count, period and groups. They must now strictly respect the requirements listed on mediawiki.org. A list of broken filters is on Phabricator. If you're familiar with AbuseFilter, please take a look and fix them. [4]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 8. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from January 9. It will be on all wikis from January 10 (calendar).

Meetings

• Search Platform Office Hours is rescheduled to January 9. Check the details for time and date.

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 November or Thursday, 10 November 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 7 jan 2019 21:22 (CET)

Captions in January

The previous message from today says captions will be released in November in the text. January is the correct month. My apologies for the potential confusion. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 7 jan 2019 21:43 (CET)

Uitnodiging

@Romaine en @Taketa - Dank voor de uitnodiging voor de uitreiking van de WikiUilen op 12 januari a.s. En voor jullie eveneens een goed 2019 toegewenst. Vorig jaar gaf ik al aan persoonlijk weinig waarde te hechten aan degelijke verkiezingen. Ook dit jaar zal ik geen gebruik maken van deze uitnodiging. Gouwenaar (overleg) 8 jan 2019 14:34 (CET)

(Overleggluurder) @Gouwenaar: Zie ook hierboven, er is een lijst voor mensen die geen WikiUil willen hebben. Alexis Jazz (overleg) 8 jan 2019 19:42 (CET)

Zoals enkele kopjes hoger Edoderoo ook reeds aangaf, de nieuwjaarsbijeenkomst is een mooie gelegenheid om andere Wikipedianen te ontmoeten. Ik heb zelf door de jaren heen tal van andere Wikipedianen ontmoet en ik merk dat de samenwerking daardoor een stuk beter verloopt op de wiki zelf. Het is uiteraard voor jezelf om te bepalen of je bij een bijeenkomst wilt zijn. In de WikiUilen gaat het niet om de verkiezing zelf, maar om het uiten van waardering. Talloze gebruikers waarderen erg wat je voor Wikipedia doet. Het is denk ik een bedankjesknop, maar dan ietsje groter.

De uitslag staat nu reeds vast en alles staat al klaar en voorbereid, maar als we volgend jaar de WikiUilen weer organiseren, halen we na de nominatieperiode de genomineerden eruit die op het lijstje van Alexis Jazz staan. Dat hebben we dit jaar ook gedaan. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 10 jan 2019 07:24 (CET)

Vraag

Beste Romaine, Ik zie voortdurend mijn bijdragen aan de schrijfweek Luxemburg genomineerd worden voor verwijdering, met name door The Banner, terwijl ook Ecritures zich hiermee bezighoudt. Beide personen hebben de grootste moeite met mijn nominatiegedrag aangaande ZP, reclame en dergelijke. Nu wil men een deel van mijn bijdragen over kerken schrappen, en worden gebruikte bronnen ineens ondeugdelijk bevonden, dan wel wordt er bij voortduring gewag gemaakt van copyvio. The Banner volgt me al vele jaren op hinderlijke wijze. Dit is uitermate frustrerend voor mij als aanmaker van artikelen. Graag zou ik dan ook willen weten hoe aan dit soort zaken een einde kan worden gemaakt, zodat ik in alle rust kan bijdragen aan deze encyclopedie. Met vriendelijke groet, Fred (overleg) 9 jan 2019 20:28 (CET)

Fred, wellicht moet je jezelf eens dezelfde (hoge) standaarden opleggen zoals je dat van anderen verwacht op datzelfde TBP. Daar laat je je dagelijk laatdunkend uit over andere gebruikers, maar als iemand een keer iets over jouw artikelen zegt, ben je zwaar gepikeerd. Edoderoo (overleg) 10 jan 2019 07:23 (CET)

Beste Fred, De nominatie hoe The Banner probeert andere gebruikers ergens toe te bewegen is in mijn ogen te vaak als een olifant die door de porseleinkast gaat, terwijl de boodschap dan totaal niet aankomt. En ja, met de nominaties wordt nogal overdreven. Ik denk dat de oorsprong van het probleem ligt in de eerste keer dat hij een artikel van je zag en hij voor een bepaald gegeven zelf geen bron kon vinden (ongeacht de vraag of daar voldoende moeite voor gedaan is). Op Wikipedia is het principe van verifieerbaarheid van groot belang. Dat betekent in de praktijk dat als iemand geen bron kan vinden, dat de schrijver dan aan moet kunnen geven wat de bron van datgene is. Ik heb de indruk dat die boodschap van The Banner niet is aangekomen door de manier van waarop hij communiceert, waarna dit eigenlijk alleen maar steeds verder uit de hand gelopen is. Ik denk dat de enige manier om deze situatie te stoppen is door voortaan alle gebruikte bronnen aan de artikelen toe te voegen.

Gezien de niet optimale communicatie, kan ik me ook voorstellen dat er een bemiddelaar wordt gezocht. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 10 jan 2019 07:37 (CET)

Kleine opmerking: wat betreft 'copyvio' hoop ik dat daar hier meer duidelijkheid over gegeven gaat worden. Ik snap dat 'Zie licenties' niet echt een voldoende uitleg/onderbouwing is. Mvg, Encycloon (overleg) 10 jan 2019 11:03 (CET)

Beste Romaine, een bemiddelaar zou fijn zijn. The Banner volgt me al vele jaren, vaak op hinderlijke wijze, en ik wil best, maar dan in een veilige internetomgeving, bijdragen blijven leveren. Met veilige bedoel ik dat ik niet wordt afgemaakt (sic!) of voortdurend bestookt met aantoonbaar onjuiste opmerkingen als copyvio, overschrijfsels en dergelijke. Natuurlijk kunnen mijn artikelen ook genomineerd worden als dat op een integere manier gebeurt en er niet met twee maten wordt gemeten. Maar daar heb ik voor wat betreft The Banner ernstige twijfels over. Het heeft op het ogenblik meer weg van een felle aanval op meerdere fronten en uiteraard wil ik me daar niet aan onderwerpen. Ik ben vrijwilliger en wil met plezier werken en kennis delen. Wat ik niet wil, is me voor een soort tribunaal verantwoorden voor mijn daden, zoals mijn nominatiegedrag, tenzij dat aantoonbaar in strijd is met de regels. Eenmaal werd ik zelfs (door Ecritures) ernstig aangevallen vanwege het feit dat ik een artikel mogelijk een hoax noemde. Ook wordt ik aangevallen als ik constateer dat een artikel is geschreven door een direct belanghebbende. Ik wil constructief -en uiteraard zonder onnodige stress- werken aan een encyclopedie. Met vriendelijke groet, Fred (overleg) 10 jan 2019 21:18 (CET)

Fred, het is je al vaker vertelt, maar je relaas hierboven laat zien dat je totaal niet doorhebt dat je anderen twee maal zo erg aan doet, want je van anderen tegen jou niet accepteert. Dat maakt het onbegrijpelijk dat je hier als een Calimero komt klagen dat je zoveel onrecht wordt aangedaan, en je moet worden beveiligd. Edoderoo (overleg) 10 jan 2019 21:29 (CET)

U kunt zich nog altijd tot de arbcom wenden als u geen andere manier ziet om er met The Banner of iemand anders hier uit te komen (Romaine zit sowieso niet in de arbcom geloof ik, dus die hoeft hier ook niet per se mee lastiggevallen te worden, lijkt mij). Maar een veel betere oplossing zou voor nu zijn dat u gewoon eens een keer uw eigen inhoudelijke bijdragen heel kritisch onder de loep nam, in plaats dat jaar in jaar uit alleen maar te doen bij allerlei anderen. Mij en anderen vallen werkelijk de schoenen uit van het feit dat u zelf in talloze artikelen ReliWiki (waarover kortgeleden nog deze discussie werd gevoerd) als enige bron hebt opgevoerd, terwijl u anderzijds van iedereen hier degene bent die bij de bijdragen van anderen zo'n beetje het hardst hamert op verantwoord brongebruik. Het zou wel zo mooi zijn als u zich zelf houdt aan de maatstaven die u anderen bij voortduring oplegt. De Wikischim (overleg) 11 jan 2019 00:13 (CET)

Tech News: 2019-03

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• You can now use Google Translate in the content translation tool. [5][6]
• You can now add captions to files on Commons. Captions are short descriptions of the file. They can be translated to all languages we use. They can't use wikitext markup.
• Earlier a quoted HTML attribute had to be followed by a space. Now it doesn't. This means that some pages could look different when you save them even if you didn't edit that part of the text. [7][8]
• Templates with could not show the difference between the live template and the sandbox version when they were tested. This has now been fixed. has a new wrapper parameter now. You can use it for selectors like .mw-parser-output <wrapper parameter value> <selector from CSS page>. [9]

Problems

• When you see an edit in the recent changes feed or in the history of a page some of them have tags. Some tags are added automatically. You can also add tags manually. Tags for edits that have been added manually can be edited. This didn't work for a little while. This has now been fixed. [10]

Changes later this week

• You can move files from your wiki to Wikimedia Commons and keep the file history with the new FileExporter. It will be a beta feature on all wikis from 16 January. If you want to test it you activate it and check your wiki's configuration file.
• Users who could cause more damage to the wikis if someone took over their account have to have more secure passwords. This includes administrators and other user groups. They can't use passwords that are in a list of common passwords. Accounts with common passwords are easy to take over. The list of common passwords was made longer a few weeks ago and has a different error message. Some user groups have been added to those who can't use common passwords. This is to protect all accounts with user rights that could cause damage. [11]
• The AbuseFilter variable minor_edit has been removed. It was deprecated in 2016. Now you can't use it. You can fix the filters using it. You can find them if you use the search bar on Special:AbuseFilter.
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from January 15 14 jan 2019 18:54 (CET)

Tech News: 2019-04

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Tech News

• Some people did not get last week's issue of Tech News. This was because of a problem with MassMessage. If you did not get last week's issue, you can read it on Meta. [12]

Recent changes

• The content translation tool can now use version 2 as the default version for users who turned on the beta feature. For example it adds the tracking category Wikipedia:Pagina's met vertalingen die niet zijn nagekeken to translations that might have used machine translations without fixing the problems. This is so others can find them. You can find this category in Special:TrackingCategories on Wikipedias.
• https://mediawiki2latex-large.wmflabs.org can now convert collects of up to 800 pages to PDF, EPUB or ODT. Previously this was 200 pages.

Problems

• When a template was edited with the visual editor, it would sometimes put all information on one line. This makes it difficult to read for editors who use the wikitext editor. It also makes it more difficult to see what happened in a diff. This problem affected edits made between 8 and 17 January and is now fixed. [13]
• MassMessage is used to post a message to many pages. It has not been working reliably. Some messages have not been posted to everyone. [14][15]
• Because of a database problem that had to be fixed immediately you could not edit most wikis for a couple of minutes on 17 January (UTC). This has now been fixed. [16]

Changes later this week

• You will be able to use template styles in the Module namespace. [17]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 January. It will be on all wikis from 24 January (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 23 January at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Nederlandse Wikiquote, kunstenaarsquotes

Hallo Romain,

In 2017 was ik begonnen kunstenaarscitaten te plaatsen op de Nederlandse Wikiquote, zoals o.a. van Breitner. Deze zijn toen grotendeels weggevaagd, (er staat er nu nog eentje van hem), zodat ik citaten van allerlei Nederlandse kunstenaars maar op de Engelse Wikiquote heb geplaatst in een Engelse èn Nederlandse versie. (zie voor overzicht van deze kunstenaars: https://nl.wikiquote.org/wiki/Gebruiker:FotoDutch). Toch blijft dit een bizarre oplossing; ze horen toch thuis op de Nederlandse Wikiquote?!

Ik zou het komende jaar daarom graag deze citaten ook willen plaatsen op de Nederlanse Wikiquote en bovendien van veel andere Nederlandse kunstenaars - maar niet als ik weet dat ze weer zo worden weggevaagd wegens 'niet markant'. Dan heeft mijn plan geen enkel levensvatbaar perspectief.

Daarom vraag ik je: Kan jij me als administrator van de Nederlandse Wikiquote toezeggen dat je mijn nieuw te plaatsen citaten laat staan en ook helpt verdedigen als ze opnieuw op hun zog. 'niet-markant-zijn' worden verwijderd? Als je dat kan toezeggen, dan maak ik een start in de komende weken, allwerleerst te beginnen met de zes zeldzame citaten van Rembrandt die we slechts van hem zelf overgeleverd hebben gekregen en een aantal kostbare citaten van zijn leerlingen over hem.

Ik wil bovendien de citaten van circa honderd andere Nederlandse en Vlaamse kunstenaars gaan verzamelen uit de boeken, en die gaan plaatsen; met rechts ook afbeeldingen van hun werken die kenmerkend zijn of relatie hebben met hun citaten. Ik vind de traditie in de kunst erg waardevol en zie de kunstenaarscitaten als een essentieel onderdeel daarvan.FotoDutch (overleg) 30 jan 2019 10:25 (CET)

Hallo FotoDutch, Het is een drukke periode en moet de precieze richtlijnen weer eens opzoeken. Zover ik weet dienen citaten markant te zijn en echt aangehaald te worden. Je kunt deze vraag wellicht beter aan Whaledad stellen op zijn overlegpagina. Hij is actiever en kan wellicht je beter uitleggen waaraan een citaat dient te voldoen. (Sowieso kan één administrator niet voor de gehele gemeenschap en ook niet voor alle moderatoren samen iets beloven, dat kan op een wiki niet waarbij er in principe gewerkt wordt op basis van overleg.) Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 2 feb 2019 18:33 (CET)

Categorie:Wikipedia:Test

Hoi Romaine, je hebt in 2010 Categorie:Wikipedia:Test aangemaakt. Het is een verborgen categorie, zit dus niet zo in de weg, maar valt dus ook niet op en kan dus makkelijk vergeten worden als het niet meer nodig is. Ik zie zo snel niet hoe de artikelen die erin zitten daarin komen. Heb jij enig idee of deze categorie nog echt in gebruik is? Robotje (overleg) 2 feb 2019 15:55 (CET)

Hi Robotje, Het is een categorie die permanent blijft bestaan en gebruikers kunnen gebruiken om bepaalde effecten met sjablonen te testen, met name rond het gebruik van bepaalde parameters. Op die manier kunnen tests gedaan worden en fouten worden opgespoord. De categorie is bedoeld dus om permanent te bestaan, de inhoud zou er slechts tijdelijk in staan. Eens in de zoveel maanden kijk ik na wat er in de categorie staat en los dan eventuele problemen op. Als ik binnenkort iets meer ruimte heb zal ik hem weer doorlopen. (Dus ja, deze categorie is zeker in gebruik.) Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 2 feb 2019 18:29 (CET)

Prima, en bedankt voor de toelichting. - Robotje (overleg) 2 feb 2019 18:42 (CET)

Promo

Hoi Romaine, ik zag dat je voor nieuwe artikelen put uit jeugdliteratuur.org. De teksten die ik daarvan zag zijn niet neutraal en neigen sterk naar promotaal, Bijvoorbeeld: "Haar unieke en herkenbare stijl neemt je mee op reis door een magische droomwereld, met surreële composities van bijzondere texturen.", bij Fatinha Ramos, en "Maar dat maakt zijn illustraties heel spannend en levendig.", bij Tim Polfliet. Heb je daar ook naar gekeken? Er wordt nu een mening/oordeel van een anoniem gepresenteerd als feit, ik denk dat je op zijn minst duidelijk(er) zou moeten aangeven dat het om een citaat gaat. Gr. RONN (overleg) 6 feb 2019 13:53 (CET)

Hi Ronn, Die serie artikelen is ondertussen af, geen plannen voor nieuwe. Ik heb bij het aanmaken geprobeerd om promotaal eruit te filteren, maar zeker in het voorbeeld van Fatinha Ramos zie ik nu dat dat niet helemaal gelukt is. Het is best lastig om een stijl van werken van iemand te beschrijven heb ik gemerkt. Je hebt vaker over kunstwerken geschreven, hoe heb je dat zelf voor kunstwerken gedaan? Ik zal de artikelen nog eens doornemen en zien wat ik kan herschrijven. Als je wilt meekijken: graag! Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 6 feb 2019 14:00 (CET)

Zo droog mogelijk of met citaat. Je kunt ervan maken 'Ramos laat in haar werk een denkbeeldige wereld zien en maakt daarbij gebruik van diverse texturen'. Of 'Ramos maakt in haar tekeningen gebruik van diverse texturen, ze wil de lezers "meenemen in een surrealistisch universum waarin alles mogelijk is". (bron)' RONN (overleg) 6 feb 2019 14:42 (CET)

Talk to us about talking

De Wikimedia Foundation is voornemens een wereldwijde raadpleging over communicatie te organiseren. Het doel is om Wikimedianen en andere wiki-gerichte mensen samen te brengen om communicatiehulpmiddelen te verbeteren.

We willen dat alle bijdragers in staat zijn op de wiki's met elkaar te overleggen, ongeacht hun ervaring, hun vaardigheden en ongeacht van welk apparaat zij gebruikmaken.

Wij zijn op zoek naar inbreng van zoveel mogelijk verschillende onderdelen van de Wikimedia-gemeenschap. Die inbreng zal komen vanuit meerdere projecten, vanuit meerdere talen, en vanuit meerdere invalshoeken.

De raadpleging is momenteel in voorbereiding, en we hebben jouw hulp nodig:

We zijn op zoek naar vrijwilligers om ons te helpen het gesprek aan te gaan met hun gemeenschappen of gebruikersgroepen.

Jij kan helpen door een discussie op jouw wiki te faciliteren. Dit is wat je daarvoor moet doen:

1. Ten eerste: schrijf je groep hier in.
2. Maak daarna een pagina aan (of een sectie op een bestaande overlegpagina als de kroeg, of gebruik een e-maillijst – wat ook maar gebruikelijk is voor jouw groep) om informatie te verzamelen van andere mensen in jouw groep. Dit is geen stemming of een discussie gericht op besluitvorming: we verzamelen slechts feedback.
3. Vraag mensen vervolgens wat ze vinden van het communicatieproces. We zijn op zoek naar verhalen en andere informatie over hoe mensen met elkaar on- en off-wiki communiceren. Denk in het bijzonder aan het stellen van de volgende vijf vragen:
   1. Als je een onderwerp wilt bespreken met jouw gemeenschap, welke hulpmiddelen werken dan voor jou, en tegen welke problemen loop je aan?
   2. Welk aspect van overlegpagina's werkt voor nieuwkomers, en wat vormt voor hen een struikelblok?
   3. Waar worstelen anderen in jouw gemeenschap mee als het gaat om overlegpagina's?
   4. Wat zou je graag willen kunnen doen op overlegpagina's dat nu door technische beperkingen niet mogelijk is?
   5. Wat zijn de belangrijke aspecten van een 'wiki-discussie'?
4. Ga ten slotte naar de raadplegingspagina op mediawiki.org en doe verslag van wat je geleerd hebt van jouw groep. Voeg zo mogelijk links naar de discussie toe als die publiek toegankelijk is.

Je kan ook helpen met het maken van een lijst van de vele mogelijke manieren waarop mensen met elkaar communiceren.

Niet alle op of rond wiki's actieve groepen gebruiken dezelfde overlegmethoden: overleg kan on-wiki plaatsvinden, maar ook via sociale netwerken, door middel van externe hulpmiddelen, en meer. Vertel ons hoe jouw groep communiceert.

Meer over het proces is te lezen op mediawiki.org. Als je vragen of ideeën hebt kan je feedback op het raadplegingsproces achterlaten in de taal van jouw voorkeur.

Bedankt! We kijken uit naar het gesprek.

Tech News: 2019-11

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Pages can use geocoordinates from Wikidata with the mw.wikibase.entity:formatStatements Lua function or the #statements parser function. If they do, they will now be shown using a Kartographer <maplink> if the wiki can use Kartographer. You can report bugs or ask questions on Phabricator.
• There is now an EventStream to see when links are added or removed on Wikimedia wikis. You can read the discussions and plans.

Problems

• Some wikis will not be able to edit for a short period of time on 19 March (UTC). This will start at 15:00 UTC. It will last up to 15 minutes but probably shorter. You can see the list of affected wikis. This is because of network maintenance. You can still read the wikis.
• Editors who use Firefox to edit with the visual editor had a problem with copying text. When they tried to select text that included footnotes, templates or block images in the middle they would often only get part of the text. This has now been fixed. [27]
• Some maps didn't work for a while on 8 March. This has been fixed. [28][29]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 12 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 13 March. It will be on all wikis from 14 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 13 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Structured Data - development update, March 2019

This text is also posted on the Structured Data hub talk page. You can reply there with questions, comments, or concerns.

A development update for the current work by the Structured Data on Commons team:

After the release of multilingual file captions, work began on getting depicts and other statements ready for release. These were originally scheduled for release in February and into March, however there are currently two major blockers to finishing this work (T215642, T217157). We will know more next week about when depicts and statements can likely be ready for testing and then release; until then I've tentatively updated the release schedule.

Once the depicts feature is ready for testing, it will take place in two stages on TestCommons. The first is checking the very basics; is the design comfortable, how does the simple workflow of adding/editing/removing statements work, and building up help and process pages from there. The second part is a more detailed test of depicts and other statements, checking the edge-case examples of using the features, bugs that did not come up during simple testing, etc. Additionally we'll be looking with the community for bugs in interaction with bots, gadgets, and other scripts once the features are live on Commons. Please let me know if you're interesting in helping test and fix these bugs if they show up upon release, it is really hard to find them in a test environment or, in some cases, bugs won't show up in a testing environment at all.

One new thing is definitely coming within the next few weeks, pending testing: the ability to search for captions. This is done using the inlabel keyword in search strings, and will be the first step in helping users find content that is specifically structured data. I'll post a notice when that feature is live and ready for use.

Thanks, let me know if you have questions about these plans. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 12 mrt 2019 22:34 (CET)

Galleries

Dag Romaine, ik heb een aantal van je recente bewerking van door mij geschreven artikelen teruggedraaid. Ik vind het weghalen van de aanduiding "bestand" in galleries geen verbetering; vooral bij bestanden die één regel of langer beslaan, is dan minder goed te zien waar het ene bestand eindigt en het volgende begint. Zoals het was, was het duidelijker. Groet, kleon3 (overleg) 13 mrt 2019 23:56 (CET)

@kleon3: geen probleem! :-) Romaine (overleg) 14 mrt 2019 00:30 (CET)

Je bent echt een topper. Meer mensen zoals jij! :-) kleon3 (overleg) 14 mrt 2019 09:04 (CET)

Sjabloon voor medicijnen en chemische stoffen

Hoi,

Misschien heb je gezien dat ik vanuit de Engelse Wikipedia de categorie "World Health Organization essential medicines" in de Nederlandse Wiki artikelen heb aangepast. In de Engelse lijst zitten uiteraard ook voor de Nederlandse Wikipedia nieuwe stoffen. Bij het vertalen is voor mij als chemicus dan het probleem dat de info die ik in de infobox medicijnen kwijt kan eigenlijk erg mager is, maar anderzijds voel ik er ook weinig voor een dubbel infobox sjabloon op te zetten. Je moet dan ook, om de boel per infobox een beetje compleet te houden een aantal dingen dubbel gaan melden. Zoals je misschien uit het verleden nog weet vind ik knutselen met sjablonen niet echt vervelend werk, dus ben ik een paar dagen bezig geweest. Graag je commentaar. Op mijn kladblokpagina's heb ik, om interferentie met de veelgebruikte infoboxen te voorkomen, een demolemma, een poging tot infobox MedischChemisch en een (uitgebreidere) kopie van de generieke infobox gezet. Volgens mij lijkt het zich te gedragen

• demolemma
• Infobox MedischChemisch
• Uitgebreidere versie van de generieke infobox

Uiteraard moet er bij de Infobox MedischChemisch nog wel een handleiding geschreven worden. Ik wil echter eerst heel graag jouw mening over dit deel horen. Voor de goede orde, ik ben wel in de sjabloonzandbak kastelen aan het bouwen geweest, maar heb verder niets aangepast. In de kopie van de generieke infobox zit nog een accolade die er niet thuishoort. Daar ben ik nog naar op zoek ;-).T.vanschaik (overleg) 15 mrt 2019 15:36 (CET)

Het was wat zoeken, maar ik heb de accolade gevonden. Tijdens het spitten naar die accolade ben ik nog een paar dingen tegengekomen, met name de voorwaarden die gelden voor het tonen van de koppen, maar dat komt ;-). T.vanschaik (overleg) 17 mrt 2019 21:46 (CET)

Hallo T.vanschaik, Sorry voor de vertraging het zijn wat roerige tijden hier. Als ik het goed begrijp wil je een infobox voor medicijnen? Mij lijkt dan de naam Infobox medicijn het beste omdat dat een naam is die men dan verwacht (en dus kan vinden). Ik vraag me daarbij af of dat dan niet dubbel is met Sjabloon:Infobox chemische stof. Ik heb maar beperkt kennis van chemische stoffen, ik hoor graag wat je daarvan denkt. (Als het toch nodig is een aparte infobox hiervoor te hebben, lijkt het me goed als alle parameters voor dezelfde dingen als in infobox chemische stof exact dezelfde naam hebben, hoofdlettergevoelig, maar wellicht had je dat al toegepast.)

Je hebt in je eigen versie van generiek deze wat uitgebreid, maar zo is generiek niet helemaal bedoeld. Generiek is modulair opgebouwd en als er in sector 8 meer parameters nodig zijn dan de negen, dan wordt de daarna komende sector bij 8 getrokken in plaats van sector 8 zelf uit te breiden met 10 t/m 19. Dat is het modulaire aspect van generiek. Kijkende naar het aantal parameters dat je gebruikt, heb je 12 sectoren nodig, generiek levert er nu nog maar 10,5 en die heb ik dus iets moeten uitbreiden. Je kunt nu na de 9 verder met A t/m C. Kun je dit toepassen met infobox generiek, dan kijk ik nog eens. Romaine (overleg) 14 apr 2019 14:38 (CEST)

Pand met gevel, waarboven dwars dakje (Q17307939)

Romaine, zoals je wellicht gezien hebt, ben ik bezig geweest met de lijst van gebouwen aan de Vijzelgracht. ik heb nagekeken wat nu wel en wat nu niet (meer) een monument is. De straat is maar kort, dus ik heb maar een overzicht gemaakt. Wat daarbij wel bleek is dat het op de wikidata genoemde Pand met gevel, waarboven dwars dakje (Q17307939) niet meer bestaat. Het was al niet veel meer, gezien de foto op wikidata en is geslachtofferd voor een lelijk nieuwbouwcomplex 51-55. 59 heeft het nog een tijdje uitgehouden, maar werd ook gesloopt en weer opgetrokken in een stijl die veel beter past in de omgeving. Zou jij het wikidata-item willen verwijderen. Mocht je nog monumenten aan de Vijzelgracht tegenkomen die nog geen foto hebben; van alle panden (behalve 29 (in verbouw) en 35 (foto mislukt) zijn foto's.Ceescamel (overleg) 17 mrt 2019 17:34 (CET)

Hallo Ceescamel, Ik heb er melding van gemaakt en er zal wat mee gedaan worden. Bedankt! Romaine (overleg) 14 apr 2019 14:14 (CEST)

Changes later this week

• When you use rollback you will be able to get a confirmation prompt on most wikis. It asks you if you wanted to do the rollback. This is to avoid misclicks. You will have to opt in to get it. On German Wikipedia it will be an opt-out feature from 28 March. [30][31]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 19 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 20 March. It will be on all wikis from 21 March (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 20 March at 16:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• Admins will be able to block someone from editing a page or a namespace. This already works on a few Wikimedia wikis. You can read more. If your wiki wants to be an early tester of this, you can tell the developers. [32]
• Toolforge will shut down the Ubuntu Trusty job grid. This will happen the week of 25 March. Tools that use this grid needs to be moved to the new Debian Stretch job grid. If they haven't, they will be taken offline. Maintainers can restart the tools later. Users may not be able to use them in the meanwhile. You can see a list of affected tools.

Structured Data - early depicts testing

The Structured Data on Commons development team has the very basic version of depicts statements available for early testing on Test-Commons. You can add very basic depicts statements to the file page by going into the new “Structured Data” tab located below the "Open in Media Viewer button." You can use the Latest Files link in the left side nav bar to select existing images, or use the UploadWizard to upload new ones to test with (although those images won’t actually show up on the site). The test site is not a fully functional replica of Commons, so there may be some overall problems in using the site, but you should be able to get a general idea of what using the feature is like.

Early next week I will call for broad, community-wide testing of the feature similar to what we did for Captions, with instructions for testing, known bugs, and a dedicated space to discuss the feature as well as a simple help page for using statements. Until then, you're welcome to post on the SDC talk page with what you might find while testing depicts.

Thanks in advance for trying it out, you'll be hearing more from me next week. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21 mrt 2019 23:00 (CET)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The new version of the content translation tool will be used for all new translations. The older version will still be used for translations that were started with it. Most users won’t see any change. More than 80% of the published translations are already using the new version. [33]

Problems

• There was a problem with editing with Safari on iOS. When you wrote an edit summary you couldn't save the edit. This has now been fixed. [34]
• The editing toolbar sometimes disappears when you scroll on iOS devices. This will be fixed soon. [35]
• Wikis can over-ride interface messages on-wiki. A problem meant that sometimes an old versions of any changed messages were shown instead. This included the sitenotice and other important parts of the interface. This was fixed at around 2019-03-22 16:00 (UTC). Logged-out users may still get the wrong message.

mijn artikel over Florentine Van Espen werd genomineerd voor verwijdering

Geachte,

Mijn oprechte dank voor uw tussenkomst en positieve feedback. Ondertussen is er voor gezorgd dat mijn "sneuveltekst" teruggeplaatst is naar mijn kladblok. Dit geeft me de mogelijkheid om mijn artikel in alle rust beter te structureren, rekening houdend met de opmerkingen en richtlijnen die ik ontvangen heb.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Sjablonen-stortvloed

Hoi Romaine. Kan je dit eens bekijken, want dat is nog niet alles, geloof ik. Daarnaast zijn ook nog allerlei modules aangemaakt, waarvan ik geen verstand heb. Volgens mij loopt het de spuigaten uit. Half enwiki wordt geïmporteerd, denk ik. Zie ook de overlegpagina van de aanmaker (eigenlijk pas actief sinds dit jaar). Hartelijke groet, ErikvanB (overleg) 2 apr 2019 22:21 (CEST)

Hallo ErikvanB, Ja, het is goed om te gaan wieden (mag wellicht wat grondiger). Het lijkt hier meer te gaan om een knutselproject van sjablonen en daarvoor is Wikipedia niet bedoeld. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 14 apr 2019 14:09 (CEST)

Yep, dat leek me ook. Dank je. ErikvanB (overleg) 14 apr 2019 14:17 (CEST)

Beste Romaine, zou je op mijn overlegpagina willen kijken, ik heb daar een vreemde melding gekregen. Mvg Agaath (overleg) 5 apr 2019 18:53 (CEST)

Beste Agaath, Zo te zien werd er vandalisme gepleegd op je overlegpagina en werd dat door een andere gebruiker. Dan krijg je inderdaad een melding dat je berichten hebt, maar er is dan op de overlegpagina inderdaad niks te zien. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 14 apr 2019 14:07 (CEST)

Tech News: 2019-15

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• More wikis are now testing visual editor section editing for mobile users. You can read more.
• Admins on French and Polish Wikipedia can block someone from editing a page or a namespace. If your wiki wants to get these blocks before they are available to all wikis, you can tell the developers. [38][39]

Problems

• You will be able read but not edit most wikis for 30 minutes on 11 April at 05:00 (UTC). This is because of a hardware problem. You can see a list of the affected wikis. [40]
• A map update caused some problems on 29 March and 30 March. It was rolled back. [41]
• Pages on some Wikivoyages had problems with the top headline. This has been fixed. [42]

Changes later this week

• When you add an edit summary the VisualEditor will search your recent edit summaries in case you want to re-use one. This works in both the visual and wikitext modes on desktop. It also works on the mobile site. [43]
• The Wikimedia wikis will get a URL shortener. This will work from 11 April. You can read more. [44]
• The {{REVISIONID}} magic word will no longer work. This is for performance reasons. When you preview a page it will return "" (empty string). When you read a page it will return "-" (dash). For now this will only affect content namespaces. [45]
• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (calendar).

Meetings

• You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 April at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.

Future changes

• You will be able to preview references. This means that when you hover over the link you will get a popup that shows you a preview of the reference. It will work much like page previews. This is so you don't have to go to the bottom of the page to see a reference. This will now be available as a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia. [46][47]
• The Wikidata JSON output will change. Empty containers will be serialised as empty objects. This is a breaking change that will affect tools that use JSON outputs and APIs. It will happen on 30 April. You can read more and see how to test your code.

GRZ

Hi Romaine, ik reageer even nav je bewerking hier. Het lijkt met niet dat dit alleen voor Grzimek geldt, maar voor alle vergelijkbare referenties. En dat zijn er nogal wat vrees ik... Is deze vorm van refereren daadwerkelijk fout of is er een weg omheen? Groetjes, Bart -B kimmel (overleg) 12 apr 2019 17:26 (CEST)

Hallo B kimmel, Bij het invoegen van referenties zijn er twee manieren om een referentie toe te voegen, enerzijds de gewone referentie en anderzijds het verwijzen naar een reeds bestaande referentie in het artikel. Om die tweede mogelijk te maken moet een referentie een naam krijgen, door <ref name="...">bron</ref>. Op de plaats van bron staat dan de bron en op de plaats van de puntjes wordt een naam ingevuld. Naar deze naam wordt dan verwezen met <ref name="..." />. Dit werkt alleen goed wanneer een naam van een gewone referentie uniek is, zodat de verwijzende referentie maar naar één gewone referentie kan verwijzen. In het artikel dat je linkt stonden er echter twee gewone referenties met dezelfde naam ("GRZ") en werd er een fout melding afgegeven. Er zijn op dit moment geen andere artikelen waar dit een probleem is, niets aan de hand dus verder. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 14 apr 2019 14:05 (CEST)

Complexe sportif de Blocry

Dag Romaine !

Ik heb gisteren 16 april fotos gezet op Wikimedia en op de franstalige Wikipedia van stripverhaal panelen die de gangen vand het sportcentrum van Louvain-la-Neuve (Complexe sportif de Blocry) versieren. Deze talrijke panelen vormen eigenlijk een "Musée du Sport et de la B.D.".

Maar gebruiker Defeder objecteert dat er copyrights zijn op deze illustraties. Kan je mij zeggen of deze foto's toegelaten zijn of niet door de wet van 27 juni 2016 ? Ik vrees inderdaad van niet want het gebouw is wel een "openbare plaats", maar het is 's nachts gesloten.

In afwachting van uw antwoord heb ik ze momenteel weggehaald van de pagina "Complexe sportif de Blocry" behalve twee, waarvoor ik een bijkomende vraag heb : wat als de tekening geïntegreerd is in een echte "enscenering", zoals de twee nissen die het duiken (Kuifje) en het springen te paard (De Blauwbloezen) illustreren?

Alvast bedankt,

EmDee (overleg) 17 apr 2019 19:33 (CEST)

Hoi EmDee, ik ben welliswaar niet Romaine, maar las dit mee. De wet waar je het over had is wat bekend is onder freedom of panorama. Voor Belgie staat dat beschreven op commons:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Belgium#Freedom of panorama. Algemene informatie vind je op commons:Commons:Freedom_of_panorama. Zoals ik het begrijp geld in Belgie FOP alleen buiten, en dus niet in een gebouw. Hopelijk heb je hier iets aan. Akoopal _overleg 18 apr 2019 22:25 (CEST)

Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Belgium section Freedom of panorama zegt « An explanation that was attached to a draft version of the freedom of panorama provision stated that the provision was intended to apply to locations that are permanently accessible to the public, such as public streets and squares, and that the provision was not intended to apply inside of public museums or other buildings that are not permanently open to the public ». Maar dit was alleen attached to a draft. Is dit dan echt de wet ? EmDee (overleg) 19 apr 2019 13:26 (CEST)

Het is beter om voor uzelf een regel aan te houden: buiten mag, binnen alleen met toestemming. Dit geldt voor uzelf overal, ook bij openbare gebouwen zoals stations, ziekenhuizen, etc. Sowieso is er voor schilderijen altijd toestemming nodig van de eigenaar en soms ook van de kunstenaar (of nabestaanden).

De openbare ruimte is niet beperkt tot plaatsen die altijd toegankelijk zijn. En ook straten kunnen afgesloten worden. Een openbare ruimte is niet alleen een straat of een plein, maar ook een winkelcentrum, een treinstation, een metrostation, een pretpark, enz.

Maar een school, een sportzaal, enz., ik weet het niet 100% zeker, maar ik denk dat het geen openbare ruimte is.

Indien het geen openbare ruimte is, mogen er alleen foto's geüpload worden die niet een duidelijk creatief werk zijn. Een kunstwerk is dan niet oké, sportende sporters is qua panoramavrijheid niet een probleem. Romaine (overleg) 19 apr 2019 22:24 (CEST)

verwijderen bestand op commons

Beste Romaine, Ik heb de volgende foto geplaatst op commons. File:Cigar tin. Schimmelpenninck.jpg Bij nader inzien moet deze misschien verwijderd worden omdat de betreffende fabriek pas in 2001 stopte in Wageningen. Dit volgens maartenonline.nl Overigens staan er in de Category:Schimmelpenninck (cigars) meer van dit merk. MvgAgaath (overleg) 20 apr 2019 22:05 (CEST)

Hallo Agaath, Op Commons ben ik door de jaren heen tal van objecten tegengekomen die klaarblijkelijk gewoon konden blijven bestaan op Commons. Bv auto's, ook die zijn naar ontwerp gebouwd. En zo zijn er vele andere roerende objecten die ook op Commons kunnen blijven staan. Ik ben van mening dat een Commons admin alleen met kennis van zaken dient te handelen, bv verwijderen, en aangezien ik meen dat ik over het onderwerp van roerende zaken te weinig kennis van zaken heb, kan ik niet hier een overtuigende actie ondernemen en laat ik dat graag aan anderen over. Ik vermoed dat de foto echter kan blijven bestaan gezien het een eigen foto is, hier sprake is van een 3D-object, gefotografeerd in de toestand zoals het zich bevindt en bovendien een verpakking is. Groetjes - Romaine (overleg) 27 apr 2019 01:55 (CEST)

Dank je wel voor de info Agaath (overleg) 27 apr 2019 23:00 (CEST)
