- Added response to the above. See Ambrosia10 (talk) 20:50, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
- File was subsequently deleted, I appealed given it was appropriately licensed by the institution holding the copyright (ie New Zealand Royal Society) and only hosted by the National Library of New Zealand. This appeal was accepted and the image reinstated.--Ambrosia10 (talk) 17:21, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Ambrosia, I have seen your work a number of times on NZ invertbrates and thought you may be able to help.... I have begun a page on [[1]] on wikipedia and found a [image] at Landcare. I see you have uploaded many of their images. I have an email permission to use it, but am now stuck! I'm not sure how to get Landcare to change the status to a useable one for wikimedia. The page is being profiled this week on wikipedia did you know! ThanksMarkanderson72 (talk) 21:14, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Eudonia leucogramma male.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own).

- I have sent 2 emails to the permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with a screen shot of the image from the source url showing the image with the license. Sent a second email to permissions-commons after discovering this confusion regarding the licensing of the work resulted from the CC BY 4.0 license not appearing automatically when the source url was followed and the image was clicked on. Explained that I had notified this issue to the owner of the images ie Landcare Research New Zealand Ltd. Landcare Research explained that there appeared to be an issue with the "lightbox" used to display the images and the javascript code used to ensure the license was visible with the image when it was displayed on their website but not downloaded with it. They reassured me via a DM on twitter that they intended to add a general CC BY 4.0 license to the source page header but that this may take some time. Landcare Research also responded to Wikicommons twitter feed giving this reassurance. see this --Ambrosia10 (talk) 23:29, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
- I think problems are solved. Would you please add {{LicenseReview}} to your uploads from Landcare Research New Zealand Ltd.? Then a license reviewer will mark you images as reviewed. I have done so for a few hundred images already (e.g. File:Eudonia leucogramma male.jpg mentioned above), but I noticed that you have uploaded new ones. Lymantria (talk) 12:58, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- Is there an automatic way to add this markup when uploading via the upload wizard? I would prefer not to have to reopen each specific file to add this if this extra work can be avoided. --Ambrosia10 (talk) 18:03, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
- I do not often use the upload wizard myself, but with "add location and more information ..." you can add it as "other information". Lymantria (talk) 20:41, 6 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikidata Infobox
[edit]Hello Ambrosia10, please do not add Wikidata infoboxes to taxon pages that have already taxonavigation templates. See Commons talk:WikiProject Tree of Life#Wikidata Infobox and taxons for more info. Thanks, --Thiotrix (talk) 09:25, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- I would be grateful if you would explain to me why the Wikidata infobox markup should not be added. It appears to me that doing so adds extra information to the taxon page. The discussion you have pointed me to seems to be a discussion with just a few (I'm sure knowledgeable and hardworking) editors. But is this a consensus of the whole community? I don't see the harm in adding extra information, especially if it brings to light inconsistencies. I will of course be happy to consider your request if you could go into further detail concerning your and other editors objections to adding a Wikidata infobox. Thanks in advance Ambrosia10 (talk) 19:08, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
Structured Data on Commons Newsletter - Summer 2018
[edit]Welcome to the newsletter for Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons! You can update your subscription to the newsletter and contribute to the next issue. Do inform others who you think will want to be involved in the project!
- Community updates
- Our dedicated IRC channel: wikimedia-commons-sd webchat
- Since our last newsletter, the Structured Data team has moved into designing and building prototypes for various features. The use of multilingual captions in the UploadWizard and on the file page has been researched, designed, discussed, and built out for use. Behind the scenes, back-end work on search is taking place and designs are being drawn up for the front-end. There will soon be specifications published for the use of the first Wikidata property on Commons, "Depicts," and a prototype is to be released to go along with that.
- A workshop on what Wikidata properties Commons will need. This workshop will be open for the entire month of July 2018 at minimum.
- Join the community focus group!
- Do you want to help out translating messages about Structured Data on Commons from English to your own language? Sign up on the translators page.
- Contribute to the next newsletter.
- Discussions held
- In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.
- The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
- In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
- A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
- There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.
- Wikimania 2018
- Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
- Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
- Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
- Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
- Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.
- Partners and allies
- We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134).

Captions in January
[edit]Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)
[edit]My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.
Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...
Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 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:
- 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.
- Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
- 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) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2018 is open!

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space
[edit]There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:
- Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
- Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.
Hello. I just saw your rename request for File:Oligosoma polychroma.jpg, but there is something unclear to me: What does "1210959" in File:Oligosoma inconspicuum 1210959.jpg (the requested name) stand for? Thank you. Ahmadtalk 10:48, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Photo(s) of Lily May Atkinson
[edit]Kia ora. I am working with the National Library of New Zealand to try and differentiate between photos of Amy Kirk and her younger sister Lily May Atkinson - and we've determined that the photo you used (that was originally labeled as Lily) is very likely that of Amy. I'd like to switch out the portrait associated with Lily's bio, but wanted to alert you first of this new information. If you click through to the original version on the Library website, you'll see that they've already updated the information there.
I am thinking we can use your photo (with an edited version of the caption) for a new article for Sarah Jane Kirk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Atkinson#/media/File:Sarah_Jane_Kirk,_Janet_Atkinson,_and_Lily_May_Atkinson.jpg
However, I'm not sure how we can edit your cropped photo - will you want to just delete it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lily_Atkinson#/media/File:Lily_May_Atkinson_(cropped).png
Ngā mihi nui,
