Hi Michele,

which bot framework do you use? May you please be so kind to note that this account is also bot-fed?

Kind regards, Dukin (talk) 11:56, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Dukin,

Thank you for your suggestion. I'm using PyWikiBot to update some pages automatically. I will add this information in my user page when possible.

Best regards, Michael (talk) 14:32, 26 May 2020 (CEST)

License information about uploaded images

Hello! And thanks for your upload – but some extra info is necessary (Category:Media without a license).

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Could you please provide the source of these images ?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "Screenshot with aerial imagery of -company name-" (e.g. Bing, Maxar, ...). In case of "Bing" you could add {{Bing image}}. --Chris2map (talk) 13:03, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me! I added license information. Have a wonderful day / night! --Michael Montani (talk) 16:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the author of image File:Bare soil ex1.JPG ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ".

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.

Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified January 2022}} from the file page.

Aerial imagery

Which aerial imagery was source for https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Somalia_wood.png image? Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 06:14, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the creator of image File:Somalia wetland.png ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ" or "this is map generated from OpenStreetMap data and SRTM data" or "map generated from OSM data and only OSM data" or "This is my work based on file -link-to-page-with-that-file-and-its-licensing-info-" or "used file downloaded from internet to create it, no idea which one".

Doing this would be already very useful.

Licensing - photos

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

In case where it is a photo you have taken then you can make it available under a specific free license (except some cases, like photos of modern sculptures in coutries without freedom of panorama or taking photo of copyrighted artwork).

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self|Michael Montani}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified 2022, August}} from the file page.

Licensing - other images

If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.

See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.

note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.

note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.

(sorry if I missed something that already states license and source: I am looking through over 20 000 files and fixing obvious cases on my own, in other I ask people who upladed files, but it is possible that I missed something - in such case also please answer)

Source

what is the source of aerial imagery for? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:UNMappers_isolated_dwelling_sample.png

Note that CC BY license claimed to apply there makes specifying author obligatory Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 22:48, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

The same applies to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:UNMappers_hamlet_sample.png https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:UNMappers_empty_hamlets.png Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 22:50, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I added Maxar category to all the images you posted. Thanks for contacting me --Michael Montani (talk) 09:17, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
