Hello again. How about the Guanyin statue atCategory:Guanyin Coastal Recreation Area? The only sources I immediately searched online give an account that isn't relevant to its origins; it was heavily-damaged in a 2015 typhoon and was later demolished, prompting anger from many religious residents; the authorities then promised to erect a new statue of the same goddess, with insufficient funding as the mere obstacle to the rebuilding.JWilz12345(Talk|Contributions)07:13, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345 According to this news article in 2015[1], it states the statue was erected 28 years ago, this means it is erected around 1987 to 1988. However, it only stated it was commissioned by the local township office (鄉公所), it didn’t state who the designer/creator was.Tvpuppy (talk)07:44, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345 Hi, are you referring to the statue inFile:嘉義縣民雄鄉 國立中正大學 - panoramio (26).jpg? The only useful info I found about it is from this 2012 blog:[2]. The content was from a 2011 news article that does not exist anymore. According to the article, the statue was part of a series of cat statues commissioned by the local township office (seen here[3]). They were placed along the “newly” completed cycle lane, which was completed back in 2011. So, the statues were most likely completed in 2011, along with the cycle lane.Tvpuppy (talk)19:56, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@JWilz12345 Hi, according to these websites[4],[5], the creator of the sculpture isHsieh Tong-liang (謝棟樑), who is still alive. The locations mentioned are different because he made the same sculpture for multiple locations. Anyways, the sculpture in the image was created in2001 (90th year of ROC), according to the text engraving below.Tvpuppy (talk)13:42, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @JWilz12345. I can’t find any specific info about the statues themselves, but I found info about their location.
ForFile:北勢國小 孔子像 - panoramio.jpg, the statue is located in Beishi Elementary School, Taoyuan (w:zh:桃園市平鎮區北勢國民小學). The school was founded in 1985, which means the statue was likely to be erected around/after 1985. I also checked the location of the school (and the statue) in a 1985 map[6] to make sure and it was shown as a fish pond.
ForFile:大華中學 德賢樓^孔子像 - panoramio.jpg, the statue is located in Ta Hea High School (w:zh:桃園市大華高級中等學校). The school was founded in 1962, but it was relocated to the current location in 1989. It is possible that the statue also relocated along with the school, but I can’t see the statue in old photos of the former site ([7][8][9][10]), so I think it is likely the statue was erected around/after 1989 at the current campus.
Since there isn’t any information about the statues, based on the info above andCOM:PCP, I have to assume they are less than 50 years old, hence they are still copyrighted.Tvpuppy (talk)22:06, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I saw your conversation over at the village pump. For your IP ban, you mentioned you messaged Platonides, so I think it is better to wait for them to reply even though it might take a while. And for the images, I think Jmabel’s suggestion might be the best solution to this.Tvpuppy (talk)09:39, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I noticed that you are indefinitely banned for harassing another user. That was unfortunate, but I do think you were given enough chances beforehand to know not to do it.Tvpuppy (talk)06:12, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Question: may you be interested in license review work?
Hello Tvpuppy, we met by happenstance on deletion requests, afterwards, I asked for insights from you on some other DR. These encounters gave me the feeling that you fully endorse our project goals and that you have a good grasp on licensing and copyright questions. I would be really happy to give you my support if you would happen to offer some help to the license reviewer crowd - could I entice you in opening a candidacy for it here:Commons:License review/Requests? Kind regards,Grand-Duc (talk)13:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Grand-Duc, thank you for your kind words and appreciation. This is my fourth month being active here, so I still consider myself a newcomer in Commons, hence it means a lot to hear that I have the support of a long-time contributor like you. To be honest, I haven’t considered going into license review yet, currently I am still exploring all the things I can do in Commons (surprisingly there is a lot). Nonetheless, I will now start looking into the license review process, and I think maybe in a couple months, when I am ready for it, I will then put in a request for becoming a license reviewer.
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I havegrantedautopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoringRecent changes orRecent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours.In addition, theFlickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads inUploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files,overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you.Abzeronow (talk)19:27, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Thank you for modifying it. Apologies for not noticing the delete request by the uploader in the previous edit, I will be more careful next time. Thank you for the reminder as well.Tvpuppy (talk)06:12, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
All these logos files areunder copyrights and protected trademark in France, because they have been created by the well known artist Étienne Robial[11]. More, these creation are usingcopyrighted fonts specially created by the same author. The only way to publish them is to import in fr.wikimedia.org wich is admissible (eg. another Canal+ logo there) -> note the clear warnings not to export to Commons :https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Canal%2B_HD_France.svg
Hello. Thank you for letting me know. Initially, I thought those logos might appeared to be simple enough to be underCOM:TOO France, so I converted them to normal DR to clarify if they are indeed eligible for copyright, hence not able to be kept in Commons. Your explanation makes sense, I understood the situation surrounding them better now.Tvpuppy (talk)02:16, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why do youclaim it's made at Jitra ifcoordinates you provided it ostensibly made at is no more then address from the advertisement (telling where exactly that company office had place), but according to much later google street view there's no any 3-storey buildings nearby there address (I "searched" whole the area)...Ohhoho ))) How did youfound that exact 3 storey building??? )) Are you familiar with that city or place? How?? used some AI? Or knew where exactly SSW was formerly located? )201.150.118.2609:18, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, I just searched using Google Map, just like you mentioned above. The initial search for the address didn’t bring me to the correct location, but I felt it brought me to the general area. Then, I just searched for “tyres shops” near the area and used Streetview to pinpoint the exact building.Tvpuppy (talk)12:12, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ahhahah ) so simple ) Thank you ) I have to use your way next time.
I used much harder way to find it but failed.
First I tried to street map it going through the road (but not searching anything more), then I decided it's some official SSW retailer and finalized onthat page where I look into Kedah affiliate that is at totally different 2-story building and mixed it (current picture) up with Selangor retailer's 3-story building, but after streetmapping it finally gave up.
Hello Tvpuppy, Have you considered going for license reviewer? You have the skills, and we can always use the help!All the Best --ChuckTalk04:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Alachuckthebuck, thank you for the offer and recognition. Actually I started considering and looking into it two months ago when Grand-Duc also offered me to go for license review. Currently, I still wanted to gain a bit more experience before putting in the request, but I feel I’m getting closer to being ready each day. I think in around 1-2 months, I will be ready to go for it. Thank you for asking.Tvpuppy (talk)05:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
