Dr Ajaz Anwar's PaintingsEdit
Hello Ciell, I am pasting Dr Ajaz Anwar 's paintings with his permission. He rather encouraged me. Ajaz Anwar is the renowned painter of Pakistan, single handedly trying to save old buildings and heritage of Lahore, Pakistan. I am his fan and with him in his efforts to save our heritage. His pantings are superior enjoyment too, a poetry in colour. I will send him your message and hope within days yuo will receive his message for his approval. Here are his yesterday's 2 pictures made by me in National Art Gallery, Islamabad:
Please click the 2nd picture and see in detail a poster hanging showing exhibition in Islamabad. Please see the news too --Khalid Mahmood 12:09, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- I'm looking forward to the permssion for all of those paintings: did you use the example on Commons:Email templates to make sure everything will be stated clearly? Ciell (talk) 15:30, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
Dear Ceill, I have talked to Mr Ajaz Ahmed. He will send the required permission. At present he is in Islamabad for his exhibition and taking a workshop on water colour paintings. Soon he will be back in his home town Lahore and from there he will send you the message. No problem at all. --Khalid Mahmood (talk) 17:36, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Mr. Ceill, some paintings in category Ajaz Anwar have been nominated for speedy deletion since 30th March 2009 due to no evidence of permission by you. But the problem is that the painter does not know how the wikicommons works. He has tried to give written permission but he cannot understand wikicommons. So he has asked that you may call him on his phone number provided on wikipedia's article about him or you may give your phone number to him so that he can call you. I am at least 333 km away from him so I cannot help him. Danish47 (talk) 08:02, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I am not going to call him, neither giving out my phonenumber: nothing personal, but just a plain privacy-thing. If he does not know how Commons works, nor how to e-mail, I'm starting to doubt wether he understands the full extent of the CC-BY licenses? I am going to nominate the other pictures as well. I'm sorry, but we do really need permission from the copyrightholder himself. Ciell (talk) 15:52, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I note that the image File:GardarThorCortes.jpg has been deleted because there was no follow-up from the OTRS since 11 December 2008. Should an image be deleted simply because OTRS volunteers have not got round to assessing the e-mail correspondence? — Cheers, Truth's Out There –talk– 08:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
- No, you got me wrong there: OTRS volunteers have been waiting since December 11th for an answer on their last mail, but none came. Ciell (talk) 09:10, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I see. I didn't realize there was any outstanding query. Any idea what the query was? Am wondering whether I can help resolve the matter. — Cheers, Truth's Out There –talk– 13:16, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- The uploader send a permission e-mail, which only contained "permission to use on Wikipedia" and was considered not adequate enough. Next to that the permission was not received directly from the copyright owner. The uploader never responded again. Just curious: in what way do you think you can help? Ciell (talk) 20:44, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I was wondering whether it was worth contacting the copyright owner again to see if proper permission could be obtained. Then again, if the uploader wasn't able to get a response from the copyright owner, perhaps it isn't much point trying. — Cheers, Truth's Out There –talk– 21:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Hoi hoi,
Een tijdje geleden vroeg jij op het irc kanaal hoe de flickr upload and review bot(s) aan hun trusted user status zijn gekomen. Het heeft even geduurd maar ik heb het gevonden.
Het verzoek voor trusted user op de daarvoor bestemde pagina is afgewezen omdat de bot geen bit had, vervolgens is hij tijdens het verzoek voor de botbit toegekend.
Al zie ik liever niet dat een bot afbeeldingen controleerd omdat er zo vrij veel copyvios doorschieten heeft de bot toch de steun van de gemeenschap. En helaas is de bot ook echt noodzakelijk zoals we deze week gemerkt hebben. De bot was stuk en hoewel er meerdere mensen aan het controleren waren werd de backlog alleen maar groter ipv kleiner.
Met vriendelijke groet, Abigor talk 10:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hmmm, okay. Tja, als het brede steun heeft, is er weinig aan te doen nietwaar? Ik blijf het inderdaad een wat vreemde zaak vinden, maar bedankt dat je erop terugkomt! :-) Ciell (talk) 10:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Op zich zou ik zeggen van we hebben de bot totaal niet nodig. We hebben meer dan 100 administratoren welke allemaal kunnen en mogen reviewen er komen ongeveer 1000 afbeeldingen per dag bij dus dat zou dan neerkomen op 10 reviews per dag per man. Bij deze som heb ik dan nog niet eens alle trusted users meegerekend welke geen admin zijn. In mijn ogen hebben we mankracht genoeg om het met de hand te kunnen doen. Helaas zien veel mensen trusted user als status en vragen deze dan aan om een keer een review te doen, een mooie gebruikersbox op hun gebruikerspagina en vervolgens er niks meer mee doen. En met het groepje van 5 a 6 mensen die iedere dag reviewen uit de categorie voordat de bot het doet redden we het niet mee.
Ik weet niet of je het gezien hebt maar als de bot iets markeerd als nc of all right reserved krijgt het een flickr review failed template, dit template plaatst het echter niet in de categorie Copyright Violations en deze afbeeldingen zouden nog jaren op Commons kunnen rondzwerven (wat ook regelmatig gebeurd). Dus als je ideeën hebt om het systeem aan te passen heb je mijn steun.
In mijn ogen zou de reviewbot een keer per dag moeten lopen als backup en dan alleen voor afbeeldingen ouder dan twee dagen, dit houdt genoeg ruimte om het de hand te controleren. En de flickr failed template zou moeten worden aangepast. Maar Commons is groot en lomp als je iets veranderd probeerd te krijgen wat al jaren zo werkt. Abigor talk 11:39, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Regarding your request about a ticket in OTRSEdit
Hello! There are no tickets in info-sv older than three days. --Bensin (talk) 21:28, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
OTRS ticket checkEdit
Hi, could you do me a favor and check if there is anything about File:Hugo Rodallega123.jpg in the OTRS? It's been {{OTRS pending}} since it was uploaded on 2009-02-18, and I really doubt there is (or ever will be) any kind of permission for it. Thanks. --Tryphon (talk) 00:40, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- I cannot find a ticket on the keywords "Hugo Rodellega", "hernanvalencias", or even "Colombian national football team". Bear in mind though, that the searching within the OTRS system is not always optimal. There is a lack of policy in deleting images that have been pending for a while, though there seems to be a general concensus in deleting after pending more than 30 days without any further responce. Be carefull deleting and, in my opinion, you might want to choose for a DR instead at this stage, just to give the uploader a final reminder to complete the upload in a correct way and make sure nothing concerning the permission went wrong on our side of the track (aka tickets ending up between spam or something similair, it does happen). Ciell (talk) 01:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking. I will leave a message on the uploader's talk page and delete in a week if I don't get an answer. I appreciate your concerns, but when someone uploads a file directly with the OTRS pending template, I'm expecting that the permission email is ready to be sent at that point. So deleting now (after a final request, just in case something went wrong on our side) seems appropriate. Also, deletion is not irrevocable, and if the uploader suddenly notices his image disappearing, and realizes he forgot to send the email, then it will be undeleted right away (unfortunately, many one-time contributors don't check their talk page, and only realize what's going on once the image gets deleted).
Anyway, thanks again for your help and your advice. --Tryphon (talk) 11:39, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'm trying to work my way through Category:OTRS pending slowly, it takes up a lot of time. I came upon some of your deletion requests: feel free to close, pending for three months is really too much imho. Ciell (talk) 11:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Acid Drinkers photographsEdit
It seems that there is no agreement from the actual copyright holder. The photos have been sent by the band member, who probably doesn't own the copyrights. It looks like we need to delete them, but when appropriate permissions come I'll let you know so that they cann be undeleted. Cheers! Wpedzich (talk) 13:06, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
File:Dalai Lama and Bishop Tutu. Carey Linde.jpgEdit
Hi, it's me again. I've tagged this file as missing permission, and the uploader contacted me on my talk page saying he had sent these emails to OTRS already (and he sent them again, to be sure). Can you check if they are in the system? I'm afraid the permission is not explicit enough (it sounds like a wikipedia only permission, and it is not explicit about commercial use), and the uploader wants to know if he needs to contact the author again (you can join the discussion taking place on my talk page if you want; I know the uploader is watching there). Thanks. –Tryphon☂ 12:53, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Road WarriorsEdit
OK. Erase it in english Wikipedia, becaouse I only upload a photo tah exist in english wikipedia with a licence. --Techarrow (talk) 13:16, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Hoi Ciell,
Ik heb geprobeerd een gebruiker te helpen waarvan jij zijn afbeelding terecht hebt genomineerd. Ik heb 3 vrije afbeeldingen gevonden die evt gebruikt zouden kunnen worden. Nu kan ik nog net een poedel van een Duitse herder onderscheiden, dus kan jij mischien even kijken of het wel de goede soort honden zijn?
Ik hoop dat ik deze gebruiker nu ook gelijk een beetje op weg geholpen hebt.
Groetjes, Abigor talk 19:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hmmm, ik ben bang dat het deze gebruiker om echte wilde Australische nl:dingo's gaat (en dat zijn ook hele mooie dieren). De zwarte dingo is een kleurafwijking, net als bijvoorbeeld een witte leeuw. Ze komen wel voor, maar zijn erg zeldzaam... Maar erg aardig van je om mee te denken Abigor, ik hoop dat ze je moeite op prijs kan stellen! Ciell (talk) 19:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Haha daar was ik al een beetje bang voor, zoals ik al zei ik weet helemaal niks van dieren (Op drie geiten na die veel te veel verwend worden.) Ik kan het beter houden op vrachtwagens en fotocameras :) Abigor talk 21:45, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Correct license?Edit
Hy I just uploaded an image from Flickr (free of course). I just wander whether I choose the correct license. File:Rare shot of white dingo.jpg --Inugami-bargho (talk) 07:19, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- You put two licenses on the page, I only left the cc-by-2.0, because thats the one on the Flickr image as well. Nice white one! But is it really a dingo? He looks kinda... euhm, big for a dingo ;-). Ciell (talk) 07:36, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- Why did you put "Dingo ate my baby" into the description? Does that story have anything to do with this picture? Ciell (talk) 08:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- I didn't put that description in, it was the one of the original source. Don't know why the author named it so. I can correct that with a note. As for the size of the dog: the picture might be misleading, since there is nothing to compare the dogs size against. But as far as I can remember, the dingo in Berlin which I saw, was nearly as high as a german shepherd bitch. Of course it might be another sort of dog or a crossbreed since especially the white and the black-and-tan ones are very hard to distinguish from "pure" dingoes.--Inugami-bargho (talk) 08:27, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
You tagged this image as missing source information, however, both the author (en:user:Briangotts) and the licence (GPL) were both given in the description. I have now added the link to the original file (en:file:Khazar1.png), however, I do not think that this should be necessary, because files may be deleted on their original wiki after being uploaded to commons. Therefore, if the author and the license are given, I do not see justification for this tag --Johannes Rohr (talk) 19:09, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations, Dear Administrator!Edit
Ciell, congratulations! You now have administrator rights on Commons. Please take a moment to read the Commons:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Commons:Administrators' noticeboard an it subpages), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Have a look at the list of Gadgets (on the bottom there are the ones specifically for admins – however, for example the UserMessages are very helpful too).
Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-commons-lr webchat on irc.freenode.net. There is also a channel for Commons admins, which may be useful for more sensitive topics, or coordination among administrators: #wikimedia-commons-admin webchat.
You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading. You can find the admin backlog overview at COM:AB.
Please also check or add your entry to the List of administrators and the related lists by language and date it references.
Congratulations on getting full consensus! Thank you for accepting the challenge and helping Commons :). Patrícia msg 19:03, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Nog een OTRS vraagEdit
Hallo Ciell, kan je helpen met het volgende: Hier had ik Pvt Pauline gevraagd om een email te versturen, en ze zegt dat dit is gebeurt. Maar het ticket is niet aan de afbeelding toegevoegd, dus vroeg me af of alles wel in orde was. Ook omdat ik File:Dutch Golf Putten, clubhuis GC Bokhorst.jpg tegenkwam, van dezelfde source website. Alvast bedankt! -- Deadstar (msg) 09:49, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Picture of Henry DarcyEdit
Hi Ciell,
I observe that you have removed a picture Henry_Darcy.jpg from Commons, and I don't understand why. The picture has been stored in Commons for a reasonable long time, previous with the incorrect name Henri_Darcy.jpg. It was uploaded to Commons (not by me...) with a claim of being too old to have copyright restrictions. The picture is still in use in the English wikipedia, stored locally. What does it take to get it back? --Toba (talk) 16:34, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, I've been looking for that old one! But, sad enough, none of the two images (neither File:Henri Darcy.jpg, nor en:File:Henry Darcy.jpg give any information on the source of the images. Try and find a reliable source, that confirms the image, the PD-old license and the unknown author. Ciell (talk) 18:12, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Valga maakond.svgEdit
You have deleted the file Valga maakond.svg as "no source" file. Like all other locator maps of Estonia, this file is provided by the permission of the Estonian Land Board. Possibly, it has been forgotten for this file. I am recreating the file now (it is used in hundreds of pages) and providing it with the right template. --Mmh (talk) 13:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Image:Archangel Michael.JPGEdit
I have created this media myself. --Zakharii 09:48, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Did you actually draw the image yourself? Because otherwise you just made a derivative... Ciell (talk) 09:52, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- But you put a claim in template "If you have not created THIS MEDIA yourself" (then you to change the template) - bcs I have created this media myself if to answer this template claim. It is a commercially reproduced copy of the copy of an ancient Orthodox icon of archangel Michael, whose in orthodox church there are no paintings like in modern art but only ancient, centuries old mainly anonymous ancient images (canonically accepted by the church) allowed to copy only. If if its somemodern art drawing thenit is not Orthodox icon. So I can change license that it is a reproduced copy of ancient icon whose copyright expired bcs of age. --Zakharii 10:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- But like you say yourself: it has been commercially reproduced: making a derivative of a commercial item is mostly prohibited by the producer. Ciell (talk) 10:14, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- This is not a commercial item but an Orthodox icon. Of course Orthodox icons are sold but they can be only copies of canonically accepted ancient images. In addition to that, this icon, like other icons that you put same templates to, are my own objects from my house and I own (and have copyright over them) these objects since I bought them. --Zakharii 10:31, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

- Buying them doesn't mean you buy the copyrights... Most of the icons we have in PD here in Commons come from retracable paintings, so we know that they are in fact PD. I'll take your advice and file a DR so we can have some more opinions on this: apparently we are in a jam here. Ciell (talk) 11:54, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Good day!
I need your help because you are from nl-wiki. I have found there very interesting image: KuitiBaars.jpg. It would be very useful in articles about the Perch. As far as I understand there is a letter from the photographer. Is it a permission for using this image under GNU FDL? Could it be transfered to commons and how can I do it?
Thanks very much for reply.--Lime82 (talk) 19:50, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, no. The e-mail displayed doesn't state a license and doesn't meet the rules for transferring. You could try asking User:GerardM if he still has contacts with the photographer though, because apparently also File:Gymnocephalus cernuus.jpg comes from the same source....

Tamaskan pictures but what now?Edit
Hy, I have just uploaded a Tamaskan picture (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:German_tamaskan_puppy.JPG). The author of the picture has already sent her permission to wikimedia commons. But I'm not sure what sort of license I should choose and whether what she did was enough.--Inugami-bargho (talk) 18:58, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think she choose a license, she just forwarded your message to OTRS. I'll see if I can find a German OTRS-er to handle the case... Ciell (talk) 16:16, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help. I hope it will work, because she also had other pictures and they are really good, one of the dogs looks so wolfish, that my roommate thought it was a wolf. --Inugami-bargho (talk) 16:30, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Hy, me again. I finally got a sufficient permission. My question now is, whether I should just upload the other Tamaskan pictures and what for some of the OTRS to choose the license or can I do that myself, and if, how?--Inugami-bargho (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, I see you've asked the same question on OTRS. Please wait untill the agent answers, for German is not my first language. Cheers, Ciell (talk) 23:05, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I'll wait. When all of this is done, check out the Tamaskan category. The breeder I asked gave me really good photos, Two of these dogs look so wolfish that you could actually think that they are wolves or at least wolf-dogs. ;-)--Inugami-bargho (talk) 05:23, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing imagesEdit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
- [[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
- [[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
- [[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Had al een oproepje geplaatst bij "gezochte afbeeldingen" en had ook zelf al het idee eens het Ratumse in te duiken, het ligt nogal geisoleerd en ik was er nog steeds niet aan toegekomen. Leuk dat je er een contact aan hebt overgehouden :-) Vriendelijke groeten van --Arch (talk) 13:49, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ach sorry, die heb ik dan gemist. Ja, waar wiki loves monuments wel niet goed voor is... Ken je Landgoed Ravenhorst? Zelfde verhaal, maar die wordt de komende 2 jaar ook nog gerestaureerd. :-) Ik heb nu in ieder geval ook foto's van de monumentale boerderij en (enorme!) spieker. Ciell (talk) 17:19, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- Die ken je, zie ik nu! Wacht maar, er komen nog meer foto's, zo gauw ik de nummering van mijn genomen foto's terug heb gevonden... Ciell (talk) 18:24, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- Goed project, wiki loves monuments jammer genoeg heb ik dit jaar weinig tijd om aktief bij te dragen, maar de maand is nog niet om ;-) Geweldig die foto van Ravenhorst, binnenkort hoop ik nog foto's te krijgen van Plekenpol. Iemand die daar woont heeft daar een toezegging op gedaan. (Nu maar hopen dat het geen gebakken lucht is) Groetjes --Arch (talk) 11:53, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- Haha :-) Nou da's al heel wat vind ik... ;-) En wie weet blijft het daar ook bij :-S een bewoner had vorige maand de toezegging al gedaan en ik wacht daar nog steeds op... :-( --Arch (talk) 15:47, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
- Nou je het toevallig zo brengt, grensteen nr 171 tussen Gelderland en Munster, Veenhuisweg te Aalten objrijksnr=6858 staat nog hoog op de verlanglijst ;-) Woon je toevallig in de buurt? Ikzelf woon in Amsterdam, maar ben in Bredevoort geboren, ik ben er een paar keer per jaar voor familiebezoek, als het weer een beetje netjes is, en wat tijd over heb wil ik nog wel eens wat kiekjes maken in de omgeving, ik zal niet weten wanneer de eerst volgende gelegenheid gaat worden. Het is ook weer echt zo'n plekje waar je zo aan voorbij gaat. Maar goed, ga er niet speciaal kilometers voor maken, als het niet dit jaar wordt dan wordt het wel volgend jaar, wat in het vat zit verzuurd niet. Ik kan het dus in principe zelf ook wel een keertje doen, groetjes --Arch (talk) 05:24, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ik woon in de Achterhoek ja en vind het niet erg om soms wat om te rijden voor een extra foto. Ik heb nl:Lijst van rijksmonumenten in Winterswijk (plaats) af en ben nu met nl:Lijst van rijksmonumenten in Winterswijk (gemeente) bezig. Daarna zijn de plaatsen in nl:Lijst van rijksmonumenten in Aalten (gemeente) aan de beurt, hoewel ik misschien morgen al de Heurne vast even inrij. Die weg vanaf Aalten sluit binnenkort voor werkzaamheden, dan wordt het lastiger bereikbaar allemaal. Ik kan wel even kijken of ik dan ook de andere kant op kan rijden, naar de Veenhuisweg.
- Helaas zijn niet al mijn afbeeldingen zoals ik ze graag hebben zou, maar veel monumenten zijn ook zomerhuisjes en mensen zijn niet thuis om toestemming te geven voor afbeeldingen op hun terrein of men wil gewoon geen foto's gemaakt hebben van het terrein. Dus zie je een boerderijtje tussen de bomen, of alleen een ingang die wel zichtbaar is vanaf de weg. Wie weet komen er dan vanzelf weer betere foto's, liever iets dan niets, nietwaar?
- Heb jij misschien ook enig idee welk veld er een urnenveld is aan de Lichtenvoordsestraatweg (nr 522120)? Volgens mij zie je daar helemaal niks meer van namelijk en de RCE beschrijving is niet echt duidelijk... Ciell (talk) 08:50, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- Goed werk Ciell, ik weet hoe lastig het is om gebouwen te kieken die vrijstaand in een buitengebied liggen. In Amsterdam kijkt men niet vreemd op als je met camera gewapend gevels kiekt, maar in het buitengebied heb ik meegemaakt dat de politie op me af gestuurd werd. Mensen zijn tegenwoordig (logischerwijze) wantrouwig tegen "vreemd volk" gewapend met camera's. Ik denk ook altijd maar, beter iets dan niets. Gelukkig kan ik flink zoomen, dat heeft me al regelmatig een tevreden kiekje opgeleverd zonder op privéterrein te komen. Het grafveld ligt op het land van Te Paske van Eerden ter hoogte van Lichtenvoordsestraatweg 66. Als het goed is moet dat land afwijken van omringend gebied. Het is vanuit Aalten aan de rechterkant van de weg ter hoogte van afslag Meinenweg. Volgens mij is het het weilandje meteen achter de boerderij gelegen. Vlakbij een hoogspanningsmast. Misschien dat de bewoners het weten. De meeste Te Paskes van Eerdens die ik ken zijn erg vriendelijk, dat is bij sommige boeren tegen de Duitse grens bij Winterswijk wel eens anders. Veel succes!

Jan van KilsdonkEdit
Dag Ciell, Luxo sent me here. Is dit de bronzen kop van Pater van Kilsdonk of die van Willem Aantjes? Lotje ʘ‿ʘ (talk) 16:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
- Volgens het ticket (en volgens Google)is het het borstbeeld van Willem Aantjes. Die van Pater van Kilsdonk ziet er anders uit, althans daarvan kan ik alleen een versie met bril vinden. Waarom twijfel je? Groetjes, Ciell (talk) 12:07, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- Dag Ciell, ik twijfelde even vanwege de uitspraak van Willem Aantjes ...in zijn toespraak bij de onthulling van het bronzen kop van Pater van Kilsdonk. Toch bedankt hoor. Lotje ʘ‿ʘ (talk) 10:37, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Willem ten Berge 'De Reiziger'Edit
Hi Ceill, I think we must not create not existing problems. I also don't know how it works eactly and I am not interested, because of lack of time. But this dutch page of Willem ten Berge, with the illustrations, were already years ago my contribution. I am a son of the dutch poet Willem ten Berge. My two old brothers agree with this publication on wikipedia. We already gave permission in other contexts(f.i. the Letterkundig Museum was allowed to publish these photo's without rights). Theoretically someone of the Cantre familie (Jozef Cantre was een personal friend of my father) could claim the cover. But really, I cannot imagine that. We And if so, it is early enough. K. r.

Beste Ciell,
Alle winnende foto's van Wiki Loves Monuments 2011 zijn ondertussen gedrukt als kalenders.
Wikimedia Nederland stelt er hier 100 van beschikbaar voor alle uploaders van de afbeeldingen. Geef op de bijgevoegde link je naam en adres en we sturen je kosteloos een exemplaar toe, als dank voor je deelname! Let op: op = op!! Bestel hier één kalender per adres.
Ook dit jaar zal er in september weer een Nederlandse Wiki Loves Monuments plaatsvinden, als onderdeel van de internationale wedstrijd. Meer informatie vind je tegen die tijd op http://www.wikilovesmonuments.nl/.
Ook zoeken wij nog vrijwilligers die het leuk vinden om mee te helpen met het organiseren van de landelijke wedstrijd of van locale evenementen (een "Wiki takes..." in je eigen woonplaats dus!). Meer informatie daarover vind je op de wiki van Wikimedia Nederland.

- Forgive me, I've just sent your comment on ErikvanB user talk page. Sorry, I could send it in English, althougnt the original image version was Italian! Odontocrate (talk) 21:09, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've also sent to OTRS File:Dental life.jpg's email. Can you control it too? Thanks Odontocrate (talk) 21:14, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- I put a template on that one to. We've got native Italian speakers handling the Italian e-mails and I can see they're a bit behind on e-mails, so please be patient. The template should prevent the images of being speedy deleted because of missing permission: if not, come back to me.
- Do realize though, that you've uploaded 2 images that are a collage, which means that all the separate images used in the image have to be either yours (you owning the copyright) or under a free license. Ciell (talk) 10:00, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

foto van hyves?Edit
Beste Ciell,
Op de helpdesk van Wikipedia is een vraag neergelegd zie [1] over een foto die jij ooit geupload hebt naar Commons. Zou je op de helpdesk willen reageren? vr groet Saschaporsche (talk) 21:52, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hoi Sascha,
- Sorry voor het late antwoord. Er zijn op OTRS ook andere vragen over deze foto binnengekomen, die zijn opgepakt door andere medewerkers van de mail-helpdesk. Ik laat dit daarom liever even bij hun liggen, maar zie zo op het eerste gezicht geen reden om aan de vrijgave uit 2009 te twijfelen. Vriendelijke groet, Ciell (talk) 20:03, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
De-adminship warningEdit
Dear Ciell. I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

vraag over het gebruik van een foto van jouEdit
Hallo Ciell,
Op dit ogenblik ben ik met een aantal anderen aan het proberen om een aantal landelijke routes in nederland te creëren. Het project dat we zelf zijn opgestart heet NLroute (www.nlroute.nl) We gaan dit jaar met een pilot van start in Overijssel.
En nu vraag je je misschien af wat dit met jou te maken heeft? Dat is als volgt. Ik heb voor de schetsfase op internet gezocht naar mooie en interessante afbeeldingen die bepaalde landschappen laten zien. Ik heb de afbeeldingen al gebruikt in een aantal presentaties voor de NLroute. Een van de afbeeldingen die ik gebruik is een foto die jij hebt gemaakt (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Steengroeve_Winterswijk_1.JPG). De vraag is vind je het goed dat ik je foto gebruik? En wat als het project echt wat wordt, hoe wil je er dan mee om gaan?
Ik hoop dat je wil reageren op mijn vraag zodat ik aan jouw eisen kan voldoen.
Vriendelijke groet, Irma Bannenberg (email@example.com)
FoP vs OTRSEdit
File:Kabouter en paddenstoel door K in Provinciaal Domein Kessel-Lo.jpg was undeleted after {{FoP-Belgium}}. It still has a {{OTRS received}} from 2014 which you added. Mind looking at that ticket, if it was about the photo or the artwork. it is in Deutch, so I can't check... Josve05a (talk) 01:22, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Dutch, not Deutch.
- It is art in free space and the author of the art hasn't explicitly declared his work under a free license. We never received a follow-up. I don't know if art in an open space falls under the terms of FOP in Belgium? Ciell (talk) 07:30, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
- Pinging Romaine. Josve05a (talk) 01:21, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- Since 15 July Freedom of Panorama is in force in Belgium. This means that people do not have to ask permission for publication of their own made photo from the architect or artist of the building/artwork, if that subject is placed in a public place. This artwork is placed in a public space, so since 15 July we do no longer need the permission of the author of the artwork. Romaine (talk) 01:52, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Category:Flora by H. Witte (cleaned up)Edit
Dear Ciell,
I hope the originals with coloured background in Category:Flora by H. Witte remain available on Commons and linked to Wikipedia articles: they are the real thing and should be kept for ever, the cleaned up versions are just derivatives with artificial backgrounds without historical value. Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 18:27, 10 December 2016 (UTC) `:I totally agree Hans, that's why both versions were uploaded. Ciell (talk) 20:43, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Category:Images donated by Hortus botanicus LeidenEdit
Dear Ciell,
I redirected Category:Lonicera brachypoda to Category:Lonicera japonica, as this is the allowed name used on Commons. All the synonyms and unaccepted species names are tricky. At Category:Lonicera you can see which species names are allowed - they use biological websites such as The plant list to check whether a species name is accepted. When creating a new allowed species category the Taxonavigation template as shown in the header of all species categories, should be used. Yes, a lot of work... Hansmuller (talk) 18:42, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Now the title = Flora. That is an incomplete abbreviated title of the book the image is from. But on the images themselves is the real title, for instance on File:Afbeelding-011-Wistaria_sinensis.tif we can read thanks to the high resolution the title
A. Wisteria Chinensis de C.
B. (Wisteria Chinensis) var albiflora
which i corrected. To ease this laborious editing process i will replace "title = Flora" by "title =". Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 18:57, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Changed File:Afbeelding-011-Wistaria sinensis.tif to File:Afbeelding-011-Wisteria sinensis.tiff (didn't do the .tiff, automatical!), also the other version. Hansmuller (talk) 19:07, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Put some species names in the description field, otherwise the (modern) species name is not in the metadata fields. Hansmuller (talk) 19:20, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Last remark: in the cleaned up versions the original captions are lost! So i feel we should use the original, not cleaned-up versions authorised by Wendel himself in wikipedia articles. Hansmuller (talk) 19:24, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your work Hans! I'm really learning here. :)
- As for the captions, yes, for some reason Hortus lost them in the cleaning. Weejeevee also remarked this on the email list and made File:Tricyrtis hirta 072.png using GIMP, which is already an improvement. Maybe she wants do the others as well, or teach us how to do it.

Hi, this file, and all the files in that upload, aren't properly licensed. They have the text "CC-BY-SA-4.0" on them, but this needs to be the template link, "{{CC-BY-SA-4.0}}" instead. As it is, the 'bots can't see the licence and they're confusedly adding this.

If you have time in the coming days, could you please check the email and deliver the validation of the permission?
Thank you very much! --ΛΦΠ (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi ΛΦΠ,
- At the moment there is a backlog of 129 days. Your question about this at the noticeboard was answered, now you just have to wait. I'm sorry that we're backlogged. Don't worry though: if the images are deleted and the permission is sufficient we will take care of the restoring of the image. Ciell (talk) 13:03, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
Re: Copyright status: Christopher Robin LogoEdit
Hello. Well, the truth is that I have no problem if you have to delete those files. I made a mistake and you can delete them. Sorry for the inconvenience. Pildeiga (talk) 16:12, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
a review requestEdit
I recently created this. I followed all the steps given on the how to page, but I am not sure if i did everything correctly. Would you kindly take a look at it please? Thanks a lot in advance. —usernamekiran(talk) 09:27, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Usernamekiran, Looks perfectly fine to me. We always give DR's (Deletion Requests) 7 days, after that, an admin will look at them and most probably delete them, the way I see it. He claims them to be {own work}, bu they are definitely are not, so we need permission from the creator anyway. Ciell (talk) 15:10, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for the prompt reply. And lol, i know how the deletion requests work. You recently closed Commons:Deletion requests/File:Priyanshu Kumar Jha.jpg, it was started by me. Its just, till now i nominated one file at a time, so it was (semi) automated process. This was my first manual deletion request i think. I was not sure if i did it properly. Thanks for looking into it again. See you around :) —usernamekiran(talk) 15:25, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I recently came around a copyvio on enwiki. The uploader has also uploaded two of his own photos. I am not sure if they should be kept on commons or not. Would you please take a look at them? Thanks a lot. —usernamekiran(talk) 21:48, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, so they are clearly not own work and is he even a Wikipedia editor? Ciell (talk) 09:17, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- After reading your comment I checked and realised the photos were taken using different cameras. I think it is safe/good faith to assume that it was him who took/owns the photos. But I think file:Ambadevi Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana.jpg, and the two photos of himself should be deleted from commons. The two photos dont serve any purpose, and the third photo is of a sugar factory. But i think it fails the pertinence policy like it is explained on enwiki. Not sure about the policies of commons though. Your opinion is requested.
- Regarding his wikipedia editing, one of his article was recently deleted (about a company to which the logo belonged), an article about himself was deleted three times; after it was salted, he created it in WP space, then in his userpage. Other than that, his contributions as an editor/contributor are almost non-existent. I wonder why nobody blocked him, or warned about getting blocked. I will warn him after he responds to me. —usernamekiran(talk) 12:25, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
- oh wait. That factory photo is photo of a photo featuring the factory. Neither the building, nor the original photo is old enough. So thats a violation of some copyright law or other. —usernamekiran(talk) 12:29, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Fair Use in nl-Wikipedia?Edit
Hello, Ciell. File:Scouts1950-1.jpg has been marked for Speedy Deletion. Before I delete it, I was wondering if the Dutch-language Wikipedia has Fair Use that this file might qualify for? JGHowes talk 11:50, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- @JGHowes: No, we don't.
Speedy deletion it is.Ciell (talk) 13:28, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- Why is it speedy for copyrights, when it is own works? Shouldn't it be asking for permission to be send to OTRS? FOP might have nothing to do with it. Ciell (talk) 13:33, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello, File:Scouts1950-1.jpg is taken from a photograph I have in my possession and which I inherited from the person whom I wrote the entry on. I scanned it and used it. How can I ensure its publication?--Belgian thomist (talk) 20:12, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
- Belgian thomist, if you inherited the original photo from the photographer, the correct license tag is {{Cc-by-sa-4.0-heirs}}. Also, you should add your explanation to Commons:Deletion requests/File:Scouts1950-1.jpg, where its fate will be decided. JGHowes talk 20:24, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Category:Statues by Christel LechnerEdit
Dear Ciell, maybe you got fooled by the fact that there are actually some statues by Christel Lechner only temporary installed. However, as I knew about this I stictly took images of the permanent ones. Therefore your claim that "these artworks are a temporarily exhibition" is simply not true. If you ever find a true copivio by me feel free to make a delition request. But kindly don't only claim what you believe or heard of. Provide clear proof! Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 07:52, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Ies, I'm acting on behalf of user:Pelikana, who asked me to nominate the images that were in the categories, because of the reason I mentioned. Her/his image was deleted as well in another DR.
- Indeed I read that some of the artworks turn permanent after the exhibition, but then we have to figure out which ones that are. Ciell (talk) 15:07, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- Ciell, I can only repeat: don't claim what you only believe or heard of. Making delition requests on behalf of somone without knowing the facts is hardly a good idea. Fact is that the overwhelming majority of images taken from sculptures by Christel Lechner is taken from permanent ones. To me due to File:Rees Dellstraße PM16-04.jpg only the Alltagsmenschen (Rees) appear temporary. Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 07:51, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

Take the edge off the Whiskey Wedge; the artful way to perfectly chill, but not water down your favourite spirits. Designed to melt much slower than smaller traditional ice cubes, Whiskey Wedge helps retain your drinks flavour.
Each unit comes with one Double-Old Fashioned Whiskey Glass and one silicone mould. Simply add water into the double-old fashioned whiskey glass, insert the mould, then freeze.
The ice forms into a wedge and, similar to a glacier, melts slowly due to the reduced amount of surface area.
Drink with your favourite liquor, liqueur or cocktail for all the taste advantages of "on the rocks".
It's the perfect gift for any whiskey, bourbon, scotch, or tequila drinker.
Go to Beyond cool.

Thank you so much for your desire to support our church!
In the Bible, we are called to worship God in all areas of our lives, including the way we manage our money. In fact, the money we have is His anyway! We are just managers of what He has entrusted to us! Even still, trusting God with our finances is one of the most challenging (yet rewarding) parts of our faith!
God has already given us the greatest gift of all time, his son Jesus Christ! As a result, the regular sacrifice we make for our church should be a reminder of the sacrifice that was already made on our behalf! As believers, we should give regularly, cheerfully, and sacrificially.
As a result of your financial support, our church is able to minister effectively in our city! We promise to use your gifts the right way. We will operate with responsible budgets, faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability so that the financial integrity of Northside Baptist Church remains above reproach!
So again, thank you for your desire to support our church! We are so grateful for your generosity!

I love trying new flavours and will happily give anything a go but I really wasn't sure about the Milk Chocolate and Sea Salt combination. At first bite the chocolate is lush and creamy, it's the after taste that the sea salt flavour hits and it is wonderful!! I really enjoyed this, smooth chocolate with taste of sea salt, who thinks of these combinations... brilliant! I could happily eat a few squares of this bar at the one sitting!
Now the Spiced Chilli... I do love dark chocolate and I have tried and enjoyed the Maya Gold bar (which has nutmeg, cinnamon and orange flavours) but I've not tried any chocolate with chilli. The chocolate in this bar was very rich indeed and the spices where smooth and not overpowering but you could definitely taste the flavours. I think I'd enjoy this bar if I ate a little at a time, it would be the perfect bar to have at home when I am healthy eating as I'd only nibble one square and I'd be satisfied with my chocolate hit!
Have you heard of the recipe of adding chocolate to chilli con carne? It's a great addition and I think the Spiced Chilli chocolate would be a luxury addition - great for a dinner party!
If you've not tried these bars yet and you love chocolate then go for it! Also check out the Green & Black's website, it has a new look and some great images there (I'm a sucker for good photography too!). Let me know what you think when you try them!
Annee Apple was sent these two delicious chocolate bars to review.

Today's formula is cardigan + jeans + button up. It's a tried and true combination that can't be beat in terms of comfort, warmth, and cuteness (as long as you've got the right pieces). Since the outfit was a little safe, I branched out using a pair of funky boots. I have to admit - not including shoes in the 30x30 has been the BEST decision. Let's face it, I'm never going to have a minimal amount of shoes (they're my favorite) so limiting them is just stressful for a shoe gal like me.
Sweater, Forever 21 (best similar I've found yet - from XXI!).
Top, MICHAEL Michael Kors (Similar from Zoa, Calvin Klein).
Jeans, JustFab.
Boots, ShoeDazzle.
Bag, Coach (exact).

Making History with GIS Story Maps
ESRI, the leading supplier of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software, has published "Seven Maps that Will Change the Way You Look at History" featuring Story Maps. Story maps "use geography as a means of organizing and presenting information. They tell the story of a place, event, issue, trend, or pattern in a geographic context."
These seven maps include depictions of the voyage of the Titanic, battlefields of the civil war, decisive moments in the Battle of Gettysburg, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, the voyage of Charles Darwin, and pirates of the Caribbean. The Story Maps coordinate historic photographs, Sanborn Fire Insurance and other historic maps, biographies, historical research, and even audio and video to create a unique map tour.
Check out the ESRI Story Map Gallery to view other maps related to history, architecture and design, business, the environment, culture, disasters, and science and technology.
ESRI is also sponsoring a contest, ESRI Storytelling with Maps. The deadline for entries is June 8.

Dear Members,
You will recall that Stephen Cullen recently won his way through to the final of the prestigious Trilby Tour competition.
I asked him then to let me know how he got on as many Members would wish to know. True to his word he sent me the following update today:
"I said I would let you know how I got on in Trilby Tour final and here goes.
Unfortunately it didn't go to plan for me on the day but I had a blast trying. My golf was good but unfortunately the putts wouldn't drop and that was the difference on the day. I would like to thank all the members for the good wishes and support leading up to the event and I will hopefully be back next year flying the Tulfarris flag.
Also a special mention for Tom O'Neill who put a lot of work into my game over the last couple of weeks. I could not have been any better prepared thanks to his efforts and I hope the members keep availing of his expertise as he is worth his weight in gold to the club".
Well done Stephen on your great achievement in this event. I am glad to hear that you hope to be "knocking on that particular door" again on another occasion.
John Horan, Hon Secretary

Very impressive!
Author J.M. Coetzee
It is with the same painstaking detail of
an archaeologist that Zeruya Shalev excavates the shifting ground of sentiments
– or resentments. .. Inseparable from the identity of the characters and their
heartbreaks, the collective destiny permeates this dense, vibrant, carnal book
whose entrancing, vertiginous writing continuously pulses apart the slightest
emotional jolt.
La Semaine Metz
Thionville Moselle
As in her previous novels, the author
sinks her teeth into human relations and gnaws on the concept of what
remains ... This novelist has the knack of shuttling between childhood
and age, mingling and separation, doubt and certitude … The Remains of
Love … forces introspection …
Ruth Scheps,
Zeruya Shalev ... touches live
electricity to a rather deadened family ... in this frightening, majestic
novel … At the same time wide-ranging and obsessive, The Remains of
Love is a failure report in perfectly literary form ... this long
story is simultaneously magnificent and shattering …

Many, many times I have people ask me to find them a deal at a cheap all inclusive resort. Most of those people come back unhappy. Instead of looking for the best price at any all inclusive resort, what you need to do is concentrate on a good value on a resort that's right for you.
We just returned from a trip to the Mayan Riviera where I was awarded a trip for winning a national sales award. During this stay we had the opportunity to visit 6 different resorts. Each one of these were a different size. Some were small and intimate and some were huge. Some had a great beach while others had coral. Some had an active nightlife while others were very tranquil at night. And while all these resorts included tips, food and drinks, some had okay food, while others had fabulous food and restaurant options. And lastly some resorts were adult only while others catered to families.
So again qualifying your needs and desires will help us in choosing the right resort for you. It probably wont be the cheapest deal for you, but it will be the one that caters to the majority of your desires.

I have been dealing with my health insurance to no avail. My sister and I wrote a letter to the insurance commissioner trying to get help and that could take weeks. The insurance company has me listed in the wrong plan. I have a letter from them stating I am in the right plan. The bill I am getting is for the wrong plan. So therefore they think I owe $400 per month when it is really $195 per month.

In these sort of cases, I have had luck going through my local elected officials (city councilmembers, legislators). They all have local field offices staffed with people who know how to cut through red tape and exactly where to go to get action. I suggest you try that. And keep on writing the insurance company, keeping copies of EVERYTHING on file. And everytime you get something from the insurance company respond with a packet including ALL your correspondence.
I believe all states have an insurance commissioner. Get on your state's website and get the address and phone number to contact that office.
The 2 previous suggestions are right in the money, however another important thing to do is take lots of notes during any phone conversations! Be sure to record the first and last name of the persone to whom you, spoke as well as the date and time of the conversation. This comes in handy more times than you can imagine. I use this practice for all converastions with any business. Good luck!
If these ideas don't work call your HR department at work and request a number for a Health Advocate. They are a 3rd party that can debate on your behalf with an insurance company.
That is another problem. I have to pay for my insurance as neither of my jobs offer it.

I don't know much about Massachusetts. The one time I was in Boston wasn't the best experience and whenever I learned about the Salem witch trials, I thought it was in Salem, Oregon, because of all those dinners I ate on a state capital placemat.
Honestly, I didn't even know Cape Cod was part of the state. I never gave it much thought outside of the chips and Vampire Weekend song of the same name, but given that level of popularity, I decided I'd at least check it out. Especially with a town in the cape named Sandwich, I would have to.
Since it was the afternoon before a long weekend, a man at the visitor center told me some back roads to skip the inevitably long lines on the two bridges into the cape.
I shortly found myself in Sandwich, Massachusetts, unironically eating a sandwich which came with Cape Cod chips.
Later, I drove around aimlessly looking for a lighthouse and stumbled upon the lighthouse that is on every bag of Cape Cod chips.
Everything is connected.
Everything would have been more connected if it was the Salem sandwich trials, but whatever.

There are a lot of things that I love about this week and the first two are both from Sunday's convention! I am most proud of my Lady Deadpool Cosplay that I wore to MASSive Comic Con. It truly is my favorite costume that I've created thus far. I have already started upgrading thing with this costume, starting with the mask.
With Summer upon us, I always get excited for different summer desserts. Whats better than a cherry pie? An individual Cherry Crisp! This individual cherry crisp recipe from Walmart not only looks delicious, but it seems pretty simple to make. Possible dessert for the fourth of July maybe? doesn't it look yummy?
On the subject of edibles, this Jello Sherbet Ice cream from www.smartschoolhouse.com looks ridiculously pretty. Almost too pretty to eat...almost! I will definitely be trying this out over the weekends coming up. I cant seem to make good ice cream, so maybe I'll have more success with Sherbet?
I love paper crafting and these tissue paper flowers from www.designeverydayblog.com are adorable! They are perfect for summer (or spring) birthdays, girls time, or baby showers! Or even just to brighten up a room in your house!
I have no idea who this woman is, but I LOVE her hair. We're into a new season, and that means contemplating what to do with my hair. I found a Short Hairstyles tumblr page and now I'm seriously considering straightening my hair. Someone HELP!
These are just a few of my favorite things from this week. Did you come across anything awesome, something cool or funny? What are some of your favorite things from the week?
lotsa love to ya!

Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series Looks Is Only Half The Upgrade
Porsche took the covers off the Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series model and while it is clear that Porsche did make a few major changes to the exterior of the vehicles, most people were more interested in what's going on under the hood.
The Exclusive Series model will be powered by a 3.8 liter flat six twin turbo engine that will be offering about 599hp and 553lb ft of torque. The 26hp will allow the vehicle to go from 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 204mph.
To make sure the Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series has what it takes to control all that power, the vehicle will be fitted with few new upgrades including ceramic brakes, rear axle steering, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and more.
On the outside, the vehicle will also come with a special edition Golden Yellow Metallic exterior with carbon fiber stripes on the roof and the hood. The vehicle will also be fitted with a carbon fiber side skirt and a set o 20inch central locking wheels.
There will only be 500 of these models around.

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion underwent an MRI exam on his left biceps on Saturday and could be headed to the disabled list.
Encarnacion departed Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox due to pain in the biceps while swinging the bat. The team sent him back to Cleveland to be examined by hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham.
"There are a couple of things that could happen," Indians manager Terry Francona told reporters prior to Saturday's game against the White Sox. "He could turn right around and come back and we play short a couple of days. Or if Dr. Graham thinks a rest will help him, then we could DL him. That's kind of where we are at."
Encarnacion is batting .229 with 25 homers and 81 RBIs for Cleveland. He also has been nursing a bone bruise in his right hand over the past few weeks.
—Two-way player Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels threw a 23-pitch bullpen session prior to the team's home game against the Oakland Athletics. He threw 19 fastballs, two sliders and two curveballs, reported Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Ohtani hasn't pitched in a game since June 6 after being diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. The Angels are hoping Ohtani can avoid Tommy John surgery.
He was 4-1 with a 3.10 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 49 1/3 innings over nine starts prior to the injury. Ohtani is batting .273 with 12 homers and 32 RBIs as a designated hitter.
—Colorado Rockies All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado wasn't in the starting lineup against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a strained right shoulder he suffered in Friday's game.
Rockies manager Bud Black told reporters that the team is hoping it won't have to place the standout on the 10-day disabled list. Black said it was possible Arenado could be used as a pinch hitter even if he can't play in the field.
Arenado, a five-time Gold Glove winner, is batting .307 with 29 homers and 82 RBIs this season.
—Nearly one year since his last appearance in a professional game, New York Mets third baseman David Wright is set to play. The Mets announced that the 35-year-old Wright is expected to play five innings Sunday in a rehab game with Class-A Advanced St. Lucie.
Wright last appeared in a minor league game on Aug. 27, 2017. His last major league game was May 27, 2016. The seven-time All-Star has been sidelined by back, shoulder and neck issues related to the spinal stenosis he has suffered from for many years.
He holds the record as the Mets' all-time hits leader with 1,777, and he also leads in RBIs with 970 and runs scored with 949. Wright has 242 career homers, second behind Darryl Strawberry (252) in franchise history.
—Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Yangervis Solarte departed an afternoon game against the Tampa Bay Rays with a right oblique injury. Solarte is slated to undergo further diagnostic tests, according to the Blue Jays.
Solarte was injured during a second-inning at-bat and left with a 2-2 count. He swung at and missed a pitch from Tampa Bay right-hander Ryne Stanek and fell to a knee.
Richard Urena replaced Solarte and finished the strikeout.
—The St. Louis Cardinals have purchased the contract of rookie infielder Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A Memphis, the team announced. Wisdom, 26, is hitting .289 with 14 home runs and 58 RBI in 103 games this season. He is primarily a third baseman.
In other moves, the team placed rookie utility man Yairo Munoz on the 10-day disabled list with a right wrist sprain. The team also transferred right-hander Luke Gregerson (shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list.
According to the Cardinals, Wisdom will become the eighth player to make his major league debut for St. Louis this season. The 23-year-old Munoz, one of the eight, is batting .284 for the Cardinals this season in 76 games and has six home runs and 31 RBIs.

juilliard in june/
i spent the past week in iowa with an amazing handful of my former schoolmates, rehearsing and performing the annual juilliard in june program {organized by michael}. it was a fantastic and beautiful week of new pieces, romping around rural parts, and sitting in plush chairs and drinking whiskey as the others serenaded me with schubert.
most nights ended in lying on the grass, staring up at the stars.
lovely is an understatement. it was an entire week of holy-moly-i-do-this-for-a-living? topped with mayonnaise and tacos {but more on this later}.

I'm happy to have earned a special mention over in the thick competition at Flash Friday! this past week. Our picture prompt was a lovely, sunlit image of the Colosseum, and we had the additional instruction to include a janitor as a character.
As usual, I went for a historical interpretation of the image. I'm aware that this might make my stories less accessible—it's hard to do historical fiction in less than 200 words. Flash fiction does not lend itself to descriptions of setting or exposition or the social concerns of an era. So I rely on my readers' knowledge of time and place to fill in the gaps, which is always a risk. It's pretty safe to write in the present day, as readers will be able to pick up familiarities in characters, places, and vocabulary. But who can say whether a reader will recognize historical references?
Sometimes I highlight my setting in my title—for instance, "Memphis, 1964," though I always feel this is a bit of a cop out on my part. Other times, I try to use marker words—for instance, "bodkin," which I hoped would alert readers to the era of a witch-hunting story, though it was impossible for me to tell if this worked or not. But it's always a hit or miss proposition to write historical flash. Even so, I love it.
This week, I'm fairly certain my historical flash worked better because I referenced a time that nearly everyone knows about on account of the film Gladiator.
This made me think about the interface between readers and writers, especially in flash fiction, which depends a great deal on what the reader brings to the table. A lot of flash asks readers to make inferences and fill in gaps. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. I experiment with how much information is needed to convey historical circumstances. My own impression as a reader is that a direct style works better, or perhaps has more "mass appeal." At the same time, I often feel my best stories are the elusive ones. I'm going to continue with my attempts at historical flash, even if they don't always work as well as I'd like.
Here's the special mention Gladiator-Janitor story:
"One hundred tigers from Anatolia," whispered Flav, peering through the hypogeum slats as the crowd's shrieks intensified. "Barbary lions."
Marcel squeezed his eyes closed, imagining the blood. Great pools of it, congealing in the sun, soaking into the sand. Smearing his legs, soiling his hands. Already the coppery odor left him dizzy, permeating the tunnel where the slave-janitors waited.
The tunnel shook with screams from the Colosseum crowd. Their gate cranked open; one of the gladiators had gone down.
Flav and Marcel, beefy youths, were always sent out first; they could heave a body quickly, and speed was important in animal contests. There were no guarantees that the taunted creatures had been subdued.
Flav grasped the dead gladiator's wrists. Marcel took the ankles.
Nearby a beast howled in pain. Flav's eyes widened at some horror of fangs and claws. Janitors carried no weapons. Theirs were cheap, invisible lives. They cleaned the messes that everyone else could ignore.
Flav stumbled and dropped the body, marooning Marcel beneath its burden. Bloodsmell poisoned the air.
The arrow-ridden beast, in its dying rage, hit Marcel like a Fury, all slicing claws and spraying blood.
Their deaths were fast, though no one screamed or even noticed them fall.

I am sure most of us know the story of Malala Yousefzai who was shot by the Taliban for advocating education for girls. News.
Malala has dedicated her childhood to championing education for girls like her in Pakistan. As she lies in a hospital bed, a tragic victim of Taliban gunmen, let's help make her dream come true.
One part of Pakistan has already started a successful programme of paying families which send their girls to school regularly. But in Malala's province the government is dragging its feet. Senior politicians have offered Malala help, and if we act now we can get them to commit to rolling this out nationwide.
Before the media spotlight moves on, let's raise our voices to demand that the government announces funding for all Pakistani girls who attend school. In days the UN Education Envoy will meet Pakistan's President Zardari and he says hand delivering 1 million signatures will strengthen his case. So let's help make Malala's dream come true and sign this.

I always sign petitions for human rights. I have seldom seen one move as fast as this. Over 750,000 signatures in 4 days. It should exceed the requested one million.
It's moving at around one signature every 5 seconds, sometimes faster. Thanks for the pointer!
This little woman's courage deserves our support!
Done. Good find Reg.
I'm all for supporting a good cause but I never sign online petitions - every time they end up sending me a bunch of spam, trying to get me to sign all sorts of other petitions - sometimes going so far as to threaten to 'unsign' previous petitions if I don't take part.
done :-)
Thamks Arch for the additional info. Yes it will be interesting if the Taliban see it as their gods will - but don't hold your breath.
A few short of 800K. This is one of the better things about the Internet. People live in a borderless world. Education is a human right. Those afraid of it are scared because education will ultimately be the death of religions.
Malala's father, a schoolteacher, has arrived in the UK to visit her. The latest news is that she will make a full recovery. She even asked for her school books so that she could prepare for her exams when she gets back to Pakistan.
