Dear Nagualdesign, Here are some photographs that could benefit from your editing work. Vysotsky (talk) 17:38, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, Vysotsky. I'm working through them. Watch this space... nagualdesign 00:19, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
I've done what I could. I don't think I could do the hockey ones without making a mess. I'd be happy to crop them if you wish. File:Nigeria.JPG could probably be improved by Quibik. I'll leave a note on his talk page. Feel free to post more requests. Regards, nagualdesign 07:06, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Dutch

Dear Nagualdesign, I'm Dutch -and blunt. There are well over 4,500 photos in the Category:Images with timestamp watermarks on Commons. Not all timestamps need removal, as most images aren't in use onwiki. But there are several hundreds of images that are used well over a thousand times (some images on many different Wikipedia language versions). I don't expect you to work on a few dozen more, as you have already handled the most heavily used images, but could you indicate what would be your preference? I see three possibilities, that are all pretty much OK with me. 1. I stop proposing new timestamp removal requests to you. 2. I propose 10 last images. 3. I supply a link, from which you can choose which images would be most fitting to remove timestamps from. Could you tell me what option you would like best? Thanks for all the trouble you took so far. Really grateful for your help. Vysotsky (talk) 23:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate your candour. Ideally I'd like to work on images that matter because they're used in lots of articles and/or article(s) that get a lot of views, or make edits that drastically improve the quality of images. To be honest, rather than simply removing timestamps I'd prefer something more challenging. I'm not expecting you to do lots of legwork, but when you happen upon any images that would benefit from editing feel free to post a request and I'll see what I can do. For example, I just created this hi-res image to replace this low-res, non-free image, which was illegible. I hope that answers your question! nagualdesign 00:52, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
Dear Nagualdesign, Thanks! That's a clear answer, right on spot. I will contact you whenever I stumble upon challenging images. Vysotsky (talk) 09:24, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Woman image request

See: Talk:Woman/sandbox

A quintessential woman

Hey Nagual! I've received more positive feedback about image #2, so I was wondering if you would be interested in cleaning it up (or redoing it) prior to the RfC. This is the original version prior to desaturating the shirt, blurring the background, and cropping. The current version at least needs cleanup around the collar. Feel free to play around with the color of the shirt to make it less bold. I wonder if almost white would look best?

Since there was positive feedback on the woman herself, I found another potential image of her (notice how well it pairs with the man image). Do you think this one is well-composed? It will be tricky to crop because she's posed asymmetrically, but it may work to cut off her elbow and crop at the knee. If you like it, it would also need background blurring, and perhaps darkening of the top right background and reducing shine on the right side of her face. Thanks again! Kolya Butternut (talk) 09:49, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Regarding (completely) changing the shirt color...I'm wondering now if that might violate WP:V. Kolya Butternut (talk) 13:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
I'll give it a whirl. I don't think that changing the shirt colour would violate WP:V, since the only claim being made will be "this is what an average woman looks like", but I'll try a few different options. nagualdesign 17:26, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
@Kolya Butternut: I tried a few different options. In the end I settled on a pale shirt colour, which I think looked far more natural than any other hue or saturation. I decided against working on the other image you suggested as it's quite low quality when you look at it up close, and would take a lot of effort and still look nowhere near as good as the other images available. I've also lightened the facial shadows of the third image. nagualdesign 21:28, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Wow, thanks! Kolya Butternut (talk) 23:32, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Hm, do you know why the newly edited versions of images 2 and 3 do not show up in the sandbox or the previews? Kolya Butternut (talk) 02:21, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
They're there for me. You probably just need to refresh your browser's cache (forcing it to reload the images). Try pressing CTRL+F5. Failing that you'll have to delete your browser history (cached images and files), then reload the page. nagualdesign 02:36, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
@Kolya Butternut: Any joy? nagualdesign 23:36, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Hey, yes it was just the cache that was the problem. I think I have everything that I need to launch the RfC; I'm just putting it off till I don't have other distractions! Kolya Butternut (talk) 23:45, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Tonoshō and macrons

Nagualdesign Thanks for the pic and for adding macrons; I often forget that Wikipedia likes to put them in. I edited Shōdoshima, Kagawa too recently if you have some free time to look at it; I'll probably get around to checking myself later. Fredlesaltique (talk) 04:28, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

You're welcome. I'll try and have a look at it later. nagualdesign 15:43, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
@Fredlesaltique: I copyedited the article. Mostly minor changes like template mark-up layout and sentence structures. nagualdesign 20:28, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Norma Bates

Are you a fan of Psycho? The lead image of Norma Bates is the actress from the modern Bates Motel (TV series) which I don't think is recognizable as Norma Bates. Even though it's not from the original movie, I love this publicity still for the prequel Psycho IV: The Beginning. The house in the background makes it recognizable even though that movie and Olivia Hussey's depiction are relatively obscure. What do you think of photoshopping Henry Thomas' face out of the image for a crop including most of her hat? The alternative from the original movie would just be Norma in her rocking chair or Norma in the window. Kolya Butternut (talk) 01:28, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

I missed this silhouette scene which may be the most iconic and appropriate to capture for the lead image. Kolya Butternut (talk) 01:48, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Actually, I forgot that's Norman not Norma... Sorry for all the pings! Kolya Butternut (talk) 01:50, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
@Kolya Butternut: The original film is brilliant but I had no idea that there were so many sequels and spinoffs. I'd also never heard of Norma by name until now, or that she'd ever been portrayed by an actress (in the original film it was just Anthony Perkins in a wig IIRC, and at the end we see that she was actually a corpse). Looking at the article, it seems like a good quality image of Vera Farmingo to me, but I'd be happy to help with an alternative image. If you could upload the publicity still to Commons along with proper licensing info (assuming it's permissible), then post a link here, I can edit it as you suggested. nagualdesign 02:12, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
I would like to upload both the Psycho IV publicity still and the screen capture of the silhouette, but I'm not sure if they'd be permitted non-free use images. There is already an image of Olivia Hussey as Norma, but a crop of the movie poster would be unrecognizable. Kolya Butternut (talk) 02:48, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
That was my concern too. You could always upload it directly to Wikipedia with a fair-use rationale. For what it's worth I've already edited the publicity still, but I'm really not sure if editing a fair-use image is asking for trouble. Then again, worst case scenario, it will simply be deleted. So if you're willing to go through the rigmarole of uploading the original and filling out the fair-use rational (something I despise doing) I can upload my edit immediately. It's entirely up to you. nagualdesign 03:58, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
I've uploaded the edited image to imgur.com if you'd like to take a look. nagualdesign 04:17, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Wow, where did you get the other background window from? It looks great, but the porch doesn't actually wrap around like that. Here's a photo from the set which was recreated at Universal Studios Orlando: [1] I was thinking it would be best to keep most of the house in frame. (The house is what makes the character recognizable.) The image doesn't represent in-world accuracy anyway, as Henry Thomas and Anthony Perkins play the same character at different ages. Kolya Butternut (talk) 13:22, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
I edited out what I could using the pixels available. I managed to reconstruct half of the window frame by using the other half. Unfortunately, the body of the guy in the middle covers up quite a lot of the house so I took a few liberties rather than just leaving that area black, and there was no way of completely removing both men without knowing what's behind them. The image of the house you linked to may make it possible. I'll have a try later. You could even argue that if I cut out the actress completely and place her against the other background it would qualify as transformative, though I wouldn't hold your breath. nagualdesign 20:30, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
I may have to find more photos, because I can't tell if one of the planters should be in frame on the left. Kolya Butternut (talk) 20:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Here's another edit. To be honest, I think whether one of the planters should or should not be there is pretty irrelevant if you're using the image to illustrate an article about Norma Bates. Good luck getting whichever image you choose uploaded and accepted. nagualdesign 01:39, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
What do you think?! [2] Kolya Butternut (talk) 17:01, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
Looks good. nagualdesign 17:53, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

Transgender image

Hi Nagual! Could you remove the slight pink hue from this photo at Transgender? Although I'm not 100% sure that I'm not imagining that I'm seeing pink in their faces...You can see the two of them individually in better/different lighting towards the end of this album. Kolya Butternut (talk) 20:25, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

There does appear to be a pink colour cast due to the lighting. I'll see what I can do about it later today, when I'm on my laptop. nagualdesign 12:29, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Sorry it's taking so long. I have an intermittent issue with my laptop; the fan's making a loud noise. I just tried again but had to turn it off. I have the Photoshop file ready to work on, at least. I'll let you know when it's done. nagualdesign 21:27, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
No hurry at all. Thanks for working on it! Kolya Butternut (talk) 00:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
 Done. I've uploaded a new version. The difference is only slight. The problem with colour casts due to lighting is that the effect is uneven - areas that are unlit by the pink light don't require 'correcting' - but it's nearly impossible to create a perfect mask that only targets specific areas. For that reason you can end up under-correcting some areas and over-correcting others, so it's better to err on the side of under-correcting everything. In this case, doing a stronger correction left some areas looking greenish, which makes skin tones look very odd, so I settled on a very minor correction that is only a slight improvement. nagualdesign 00:00, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Overdue

... to thank you for you very thorough analysis at ANI. Unfortunately there's a fraction of editors who don't have the patience for so much logic all at once. EEng 02:19, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Actually you did thank me already, but I appreciate the note. I'm just glad it had some effect, with a couple of other editors even pointing out that it was a sensible assessment of the situation. That whole incident has been reverberating in my mind ever since, and just this evening I was beginning to formulate the makings of an essay of sorts about so-called 'wokeness'. There's a lot of effort being made by Wikimedia to encourage equality, which is a good thing, but there seems to me to be very little thought being put into nurturing diversity. In fact, there seems to be an abundance of thoughtlessness that aimlessly aims to mould all editors into a single, grey, genderless caricature, with no differences of opinion. Whereas I'm of a mind that our differences are a treasure trove that ought to be preserved, even if it means stepping on each other's toes from time to time. I haven't written anything down yet, I've just been thinking of ways of putting my thoughts into words without it coming across as a reactionary rant, but I think I might be onto something. When I write the first draft I'd be very happy if you could take a look at it and give me some input, if you don't mind. It might take me a few days but I'll let you know when the time comes. In the meantime, have a wonderful Easter weekend. nagualdesign 03:49, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Check out Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#Person-First_Language. Try not to get me featured in any more Breitbart articles. EEng 05:24, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
Aww, EEngie.... they didn't even publish your real name. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:18, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Bit of an update, I'm a little lost for words. While I feel certain that my intentions are good, I'm finding it very difficult to formulate my writing in a way that it won't be deemed "x‑ist" - be it racist, sexist, homophobic or whatever - all of which I'm vehemently against. Specifically, no matter how hard I try, the things I'm focused on at the moment tend to make me look transphobic. And that's actually the crux of the matter; as a white, heterosexual male, simply having the temerity to focus on transgender issues automatically puts me on the back foot, which is pretty pathetic in my opinion, but may well be enough for me to keep my opinions to myself rather than wasting my breath.

Consider these two recent examples. Yesterday, Karan Kundra, an Indian film and television actor, left a post at the Help Desk. He seems to have mistakenly believed that he has some authority over the WP article about him and was having some difficulty editing it. He was rightly informed about WP:OWN, WP:COI and WP:AUTO. Fair enough, right? Now contrast that with Jericho Vincent, a transgender author formerly known as Leah Vincent. To my knowledge, Vincent never asked WP for any special treatment, but the article has recently been edited and moved in order to avoid use of English pronouns or "deadnaming". In fact, there's no mention whatsoever that Vincent is transgender or was ever called Leah, despite having previously published under that name, and the only hint is the sentence, In 2019, Vincent came out as genderqueer, and changed their first name to "Jericho". It also says that Jericho Vincent was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, et cetera (emphasis mine), which isn't strictly factual. Of course I have no wish to cause anyone any distress but to me this just seems like whitewashing. And to be quite honest, even using the word whitewashing in this context is now fraught with danger thanks to an overzealous minority of self-appointed do-gooders. ..Oh Jesus, I didn't mean minority like that! ...Oh shit, I said "Jesus"! I'm so sorry!!! Erm...

Does anyone else see a problem here?

Extended content

Perhaps it's an odd tangent to a lot of people but I'm reminded of the recent mob vandalism urban activism by self-styled "BLM protesters" who, among many other things, tore down a statue of Edward Colston and pushed it into Bristol Harbour (to be later fished back out at public expense). The thing is, the statue wasn't erected to commemorate his role in the African slave trade. Of course not! It was there to commemorate his philanthropy, such as spending his earnings (ill-gotten, in retrospect) on the Bristol community. Colston Hall, a Grade II listed concert hall built on the site of a boys' school that Colston had established "in order to educate the poor", has since been renamed Bristol Beacon. Presumably this is so we can all forget that the slave trade ever happened, or that us ordinary folk ever benefited from it. God forbid! It was those nasty toffs lining their own pockets, nothing to do with us. No siree bob!

Call me what you will but I'm a firm believer that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In Barrowford, where I grew up and my mother still lives, there used to be huge cotton mills. We were all taught about our industrial heritage at school, and people like my mother have lots of books about old Barrowford. What they neglected to teach us, and came as quite a surprise to my mother when I explained it to her, is that Lancashire imported the lion's share of US cotton in the 1800s. I pulled up the facts and figures for her, including what percentage of cotton came from America, what percentage of UK imports came to Lancashire and how many thousands of tonnes per year that equated to, then invited her to imagine how much cotton a slave would have to pick to gather a single tonne. Suffice to say, she'd simply never put two and two together before. Afterwards, I bought her a copy of Twelve Years a Slave.

To me, anyone who describes themselves as 'woke' is actually saying "I've recently realized these things" (or "I didn't realize that racism/​sexism/​whatever was bad but now that I'm at university the penny's dropped") while making the gross assumption that the rest of us old fogies are turning a blind eye to inequity. And what many of them don't seem to realize yet is how naive they still are. You're not 'doing your bit' to set the world to rights by editing Wikipedia to rewrite history, that much I'm certain of.

I say lost for words, but that was actually a wall of text! I can only apologize. What I meant is, I'm lost under a mountain of words.

The archives for the Photography Workshop have nothing filed for May, and it's now the 1st of June. If Cluebot III begins archiving content as if it was May then I guess that might help to diagnose the issue. I think I left a note on the Cluebot III talk page but I was never pinged, and ironically I can't find the archives for that talk page to check if anyone responded there. nagualdesign 00:35, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
@Vchimpanzee: Found it: User talk:ClueBot Commons/Archives/2021/March#Archiving by year and month. Nobody responded. Good luck in getting this sorted out. nagualdesign 20:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Actually, this is the end of what I can do. I should say good luck to you.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:50, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
Fingers crossed. nagualdesign 20:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
