SVG file translated via SVG Translator doesn't show language selector

Translated SVG that should display in Czech when clicked.


I've updated an existing SVG image (shown on right) by adding 3 languages in it -
Czech, German, and English, while German is also an implicit language (the original
used in the picture). What's strange is that the picture shows English language
instead of the implicit one (which is German), and there's no language selector on
that page. Link from a translated thumbnail doesn't display the selected language,
eighter. How do I display language selector on the file page? Polda18 (talk page �

Misspelling on Commons photo page


I notice the photo title of Nineteenth Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania is
misspelled as Ninteenth Street. Is this something someone can fix? Here is the
link:

Hi. I want to upload files direct from archive.org but every time I see this error:

I've tried to upload a jpeg but the image orients incorrectly in preview
Not overly experienced with image upload but have never had this occur. Uploaded
one file with zero problems tonight; next file lays on its side in preview. Three
times it occurred, once after a restart of the browser. Chose NOT to upload the
file for now. Looked in help but couldn't find the answer. Should I just upload it
and fix the orientation afterwards? Would this conversation be better informed if
I'd already performed the upload? BusterD (talk) 02:41, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

upload regardless the orientation of the previews. after successful uploads, if


they show up wrong on the file page, use {{Rotate}}.
i dont know exactly what's behind the preview etc. all i know is that some cameras
have sensors and can detect and set an orientation, which might be recognised by
commons.--RZuo (talk) 09:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
Much ado... The upload worked just fine. Thanks for the hand-holding. BusterD

Garn Goch & Y Garn Goch
Can you help me please? I have researched an ancient monument in Wales called Garn
Goch for 5 years. I have established a not for profit charity. I have created a
website and written a 150 page book. I have the support of archaeological trusts. I
have produced a deeply researched and referenced summary specifically for
Wikipedia. Last year I amended the existing (and brief) Y Garn Goch page. All my
additions were unilaterally and totally removed. In January I created a new page,
Garn Goch, so as not to touch the existing page. I uploaded the deeply researched
and referenced summary specifically for Wikipedia. It was unilaterally and totally
removed.

This seems to me to be nothing but intellectual vandalism. I do not know who is


doing it, or why. Nor do I know how to engage with whoever it is to discuss their
issues.

PLEASE HELP.

wiki commons website wont load in browser
Good Day,
I am facing a unique issue. wiki commons website won't load on any of my browsers
(brave, firefox, chrome, edge).
Wikipedia , wikimedia etc open and work properly, but wiki commons won't open.
The only way I can access wiki commons is by going to wiki media and then clicking
on wiki commons.
clicking on an image from Wikipedia will not open wiki commons. the browser says
connection to wiki commons is not secure. I am at a total loss here as to how to
resolve this issue. please help. STC1 (talk) 10:28, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Uploading file found on Italian Wikipedia
I found an image relevant to a page I was editing on English Wikipedia on Italian
Wikipedia. I can't find the image anywhere else, including Wikimedia Commons, so
I'm not sure what the source is. Can I use it on the page? Can I upload it to
Commons? LemonOrangeLime (talk) 20:56, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

(talk) 22:31, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

It's a scene from the movie itself. It certainly can't be on Commons (we don't
allow images here on a "fair use" basis at all), but might be allowed on the
English-language Wikipedia (you would upload locally to an image page there and use
a non-free use rationale on the image page). Take a look at en:Wikipedia:Non-
free_content. It's a bit complicated, but if you want to do something like this,
you'll need to understand policy in that area. - Jmabel ! talk 02:46, 2 March 2022

Unknown warning: "duplicateversions"
Hello, I have unfortunately messed up trying to upload a new image to a Wikipedia
article. I followed the instructions on the uploader and it said a file already
exists with that name and to replace it if I wanted. As I was trying to upload a
photo of someone to replace the current one on the Wikipedia article, I assumed
doing that was fine, and edited the file details to match.

However the photo, although of the same person, is a different photo to the
original and so I realised I probably should have uploaded that as a separate file.
So I've undone all those changes now.

I'm now (hopefully) correctly trying to upload it as a new file which I will
reference on the article, however the uploader is saying:

Unknown warning: "duplicateversions"

Can anyone advise how I can properly upload this file please?

Rename request on File:Microscope, English, 1830-1850, given to Lord Lister by his
Wellcome L0057966.jpg and other problems.
Hi Folks, Is it possible to rename this image. I had real trouble finding it last
night. Perhaps rename to Microscope given to Lord Lister in 1849 by his father
Joseph Jackson Lister. Perhaps move the Wellcome L0057966 into descriptive text. A
lot of the image associated with Lister don't seem to visible on a search for
Joseph Lister or Lord Lister. That is problem because there is a many associated
with him that need to go into the article. For example the image of a syringe that
is used in The art of medicine Joseph Lister�s domestic science at [3] is not
visible. That is probably a Welcome image and it must be on here somewhere as it
was core to his discoveries. I can't find it. So I think a wholesale reordering is
needed. Thanks. Scope creep (talk) 09:57, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Update. I see the syringe image is not on here, which is odd. I thought all of it
would have been on. Here it is in the welcome collection: Syringe. I'll upload it.

Usually the right solution to this is not to change the file name, but to add an
appropriate category or categories. In this case, that would be Category:Joseph

Is there a way to get a resolution greater than 2560x1811px and less than the

@Pbsouthwood: Without knowing what file you are talking about it's hard to guess.
Probably not, though. If that is what the system is offering, that's what the code
is offering. - Jmabel ! talk 16:10, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
@Pbsouthwood: Yes, it is possible. Let's take, for example, my upload File:The Blue
Marble 4463x4163.jpg. The 2196 pixel wide preview or thumbnail of that file is
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/The_Blue_Marble_4463x4163
.jpg/2196px-The_Blue_Marble_4463x4163.jpg . If I wanted, say, a 3000 pixel wide
preview or thumbnail, I would change "2196" in the URL to "3000", to form
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/The_Blue_Marble_4463x4163
.jpg/3000px-The_Blue_Marble_4463x4163.jpg . You may not specify a height, though
(but you can calculate a width from the original dimensions and height wanted). �
