Question ... for my esteemed expert

Hi Crisco, as always I come to you as my expert about copyright/licences! I know that if an image was published in a book in 1908, it would be US PD, but is that status effected if the artist did not die until 1954? The file in question is this one. If it is okay, would there be any chance you could crop that caption out of it, please? I did try but the crop tool won't let me play with it ... SagaciousPhil - Chat 13:40, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

• What's the source country?

• USA, I think? SagaciousPhil - Chat 19:16, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

• If that's true, it should be free. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:04, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Otto Perry

Are you up for a discussion of his railroad photos? Many are held by the Denver Public Library and they don't offer any type of PD license for them. Some time ago, there was quite a heated discussion about whether the photos had to go because of not being PD; we still have quite a few in areas where so far there's been no PD photo to replace them.

Perry was a real train buff; those who take rail photos as a hobby often swap photos they've taken with others, and he was no exception. The hobbyists most often had/have their photos printed on postcard forms and use some kind of ink stamp for their ID. I found this recently and spent some time online at DPL trying to match it; wasn't successful, so this is an Otto Perry photo that is not part of the DPL holdings. From the ink stamp and the postcard stamp box, this was taken during the time frame Perry listed and is his work. Bottom line--can we think about using this and others as PD since we can see the card back and so on? In the case of possible DPL duplicates, I'd think having the back of the card would be enough proof that the photo didn't come from DPL without permission. Thanks! We hope (talk) 13:48, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

• For those which were definitely published (like this post card), I'd expect it to be PD in the US for lack of a notice. Duplicates from the DPL are still the same image, and so they don't have a new or separate copyright (assuming they are duplicates, of course) and can thus be used. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:55, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

You don't know how many of these I've passed by because I was afraid of a) stirring up the old issue and b} running afoul of DPL's policies. Well, no more! :) Thanks! We hope (talk) 14:01, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Betty May

Crisco, I've been asked to "opine" on this nomination, but it's in an area I don't feel comfortable opining, dealing with a ghost-written autobiography's claims, many improbable or likely enhanced. The old "merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative" approach, apparently, but on steroids (and before there were steroids). If you're willing, I'll let you read the arguments (the positions are clear from the most recent icon, I think) and weigh in. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:17, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Dispatch (sternwheeler)

Crisco, I was hoping you could please take a look at this one and perhaps get it moving again. I can't, because I proposed an ALT hook; my idea of an interesting hook and the nominator's seem to differ by quite a bit. At any rate, you'll note the possible issue with my wording, since I don't have access to a key offline source, and much of the article is based on newspaper stories or ads, which makes any attempt at an article narrative quite difficult. I'll let you decide where it stands and what to do. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:33, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Request edit

Hey, do you think I can borrow you for a minute to take a look at this very small request edit asking that a couple sentences be added to keep the page up to date? user:Guy Macon just did a few of my request edits and I realized this one slipped my mind - it's been in the queue for 6 weeks.

Also as an FYI for the McKinsey page, user:FreeRangeFrog seemed to be suggesting here that I might be better off putting together a GA-ready copy/pasteable draft than handling things piecemeal. I explained that many of the corresponding edits may be controversial, but did put together an annotated draft here with all the remaining edits I think would be needed to make it GAN-ready (once reviewed I can remove the annotations to make it copy/pasteable).

Regarding images, I was pretty impressed with the results of the photoshoot I did of various Purina dog food products, but they decided to try to get their own professional photography approved for Creative Commons. (I thought mine were better :-p) CorporateM (Talk) 16:12, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

• Well, heck, if they are willing to donate, that's very useful. I'll do the Hightail thing. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:25, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

I find it to be a lot easier to work with a completed draft, rather than piecemeal changes, even if some of the changes are controversial. I carefully go over the page checking references and looking for bias, edit any problem areas I find (usually not a problem with user:CorporateM's work), and publish it. Quick and easy. --Guy Macon (talk) 21:25, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you

Hey Crisco_1492, thank you so much for nominating my shot of the Long-billed curlew at Drakes Beach for featured picture. It was not an easy shot: after leaving our home very early, I spent quite some time at the beach finding good subjects. Then, almost two hours later and with the first groups of day trippers arriving at the beach, I came across this curlew. Now, shooting at a beach means you really need to get low and probably will get wet… (see my blog post that features this image). And someone on the ground making funny moves attracts dogs… Well, let's just assume, I'm lucky that I got this shot ;-) So, thanks again for picking and nominating it. This means a lot to me. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:18, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• A pleasure, really, Frank. Strangely enough, North American birds are underrepresented at FP, so if you have any more that you think have a chance, feel free to nominate (or point me in the right direction ). (On a side note: my experience with shooting insects is the same... my poor jacket's getting worn at the elbows)

Adam: Perhaps the Signpost could use a bit about the challenges of bird photography? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:33, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

@Crisco 1492, wow, that's interesting. I didn't even know that. I'm living in Strawberry, which is close to Richardson Bay, an Important Bird Area, and also close to Point Reyes National Seashore. That, and the fact that I find wildlife photography more challenging than other areas brought me to photographing birds for Misplaced Pages. Due to my current job, I didn't have as much free time recently. However, I promise you that I will keep shooting :-) --01:21, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

@Adam, if there's anything that I can do to help bringing attention to this need for more photos of Nord American birds, please let me know. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:21, 2 November 2014 (UTC) 

• @Frank: Yeah, most of our bird featured pictures are from Australia and Thailand (and are the work of JJ Harrison, a very talented photographer). Some 200 in total, I believe. Europe and NA are behind that, and SA and Africa (and much of the rest of Asia) are barely even represented. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:58, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

DYK: Five preps, no queues

Crisco, if you could take a look at DYK and promote a prep if no queues are filled, that would be great. Next main page changeover is at 12:00 UTC, currently a bit over six hours away. Thanks for whatever you can do, should it still be necessary when you see this. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:40, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

POTD possibility

Hi Crisco,

If possible please schedule as POTD on 28th Jan 2015. That is the birthday of the cute artist performing it. If possible, please make it on that day.

Regards: Bellus Delphina 14:59, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Sure, I don't think we have anything scheduled yet. Now at Template:POTD/2015-01-28. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:04, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

BTW, if you have comments on the dance images I've uploaded (see above) they'd be more than welcome. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:05, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Thank you so much :)

About your uploads, to be frank, am not a supporter of cropped images of a performance because I feel the crop will reduce the EV when it is coming in connection with the particular art form. In case of highlighting the artist, it can be a cropped IMO. Anyway, a very good collection I have seen here. I did not see the articles related with it but I will see and I will add if anything touching me.

I have 2-3 another POTD suggestions, I will add it here, if you don't mind but all are not very near dates.

Thank you so much once again.

Bellus Delphina 15:21, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Hi Cris,

I am not sure about the dance form but and are very nice to me. Bellus Delphina 16:01, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks, Bellus. I was using a 100mm lens (the fastest one I've got), so even getting the dancers into frame was a bit of a challenge; had to stand something like 10 or 12m back and hold the camera up high to avoid getting the crowd in the images. File:17 Years of Sekar Jepun 2014-11-01 03.jpg is definitely going to be an FPC candidate in the near future, once I confirm that it is, indeed, legong. I'll have to ask my friend about the other one, the one with the man (only two male dancers during the whole performance, believe it or not); didn't catch the name.

Feel free to leave any suggestions you have here. Arundhati is already scheduled for her birthday, and we've got the Bharata Natyam dance scheduled as well. So long as there's at least a month or two between dance images, we should be fine (spacing them out is a good idea, because we only have a few). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:00, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• I am also searching for clicking various dance forms for making FP. I hope will come more from my side too.

Bellus Delphina 17:56, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• • Excellent! Remember to reduce the exposure compensation a bit when shooting; that will allow faster shutter speeds, and thus hopefully less blur. If you check the EXIF information on the images I shot, they were at speeds such as 1/125 and 1/200 - more than enough to keep sharp even when the subjects were moving. The noise introduced in post when fixing the exposure comp is generally less than what you'd get by increasing the ISO. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:37, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Sure, I'll try my level best to capture very sharp picture by increasing my Shutter Speed. Thanks fro the help once again.
