Storm Colour template

[edit]

When I was editingUser:OhHaiMark/1980 Pacific typhoon season,I noticed that when I subsituted the values of the template on the section for Typhoon Dom, it didn't mention the warning center. Normally, it does something like Typhoon (JMA), but it doesn't seem like that's the case.OhHaiMark(talk)16:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alert: PD-NWS Violations

[edit]

This is an alert being sent to all active editors on theWikiProject of Weatherand any editor who has recently editors weather-related articles.

Editors on the Commons have received communication from theNational Weather Servicethat theTemplate:PD-NWS,which is often used to upload weather-related images, is incorrect. There will be a discussion starting on the Commons Copyright Noticeboard within the next few days to determine how to manage this issue. Under the current PD-NWS copyright template, images on any NWS webpage was considered to be in the public domain unless it had a direct copyright symbol and/or copyright watermark.

One National Weather Service office has confirmed this is not the case.For the next few days, it may be best to not upload any image from an NWS webpage that was not made or taken directly by the National Weather Service themselves. Once the Commons determine how to move forward, editors will recent a new alert.TheWeather Event Writer(Talk Page)23:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to append this additional warning to @WeatherWriter‘s message: the National Weather Service emailed @Rlandmanntoday and clarified that the upload process doesNOTautomatically release a photo/video into the public domain. I strongly advise you not to upload anything under a PD-NWS tag unless it is specifically produced by the weather service.West Virginia WXeditor(talk)04:25, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PD-NWS Violations Update #1

[edit]

I am providing members of theWikiProject of Weatheralong with users who frequently edit weather-related articles an update to the discussions regardingthe PD-NWS image copyright template.

For starters, no "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred. All that means is the template is not formally deprecated and is still in use.However,Rlandmann,an administrator on English Wikipedia, has begun an undertaking of reviewing and assessing all images (~1,400) that use the PD-NWS copyright template.

What we know:

  • Following email communications, the National Weather Service of Sioux Falls hasremovedtheir disclaimer, which has been used for the PD-NWS template for decades. This means, as far as the National Weather Service is concerned, the following statementis no longer valid:By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others.Currently, the PD-NWS template links toan archived versionof the disclaimer. However,the live versionof the disclaimer no longer contains that phrase.
  • Seethis deletion discussionfor this point's information. NWS Paducah (1) failed to give attribution to a photographer of a tornado photograph, (2) placed the photo into the public domain without the photographer explicitly giving them permission to do so (i.e. the photo is not actually in the public domain), (3) and told users to acknowledge NWS as the source for information on the webpage. Oh, to note, this photographer is amagistrate(i.e.a judge). So, the idea of automatically trusting images without clear attribution on weather.gov are free-to-use is in question.
  • The Wikimedia Commons has a process known asprecautionary principle,where if their issignificant doubtthat an image is free-to-use, it will be deleted. Note, one PD-NWS filehas been deleted under the precautionary principle.The closing administrator remarks for the deletion discussion were: "Per theprecautionary principle,there is "significant doubt" about the public domain status of this file (4x keep + nominator, 5x delete), so I will delete it."
  • Several photographs/images using the PD-NWS are currently mid-deletion discussion, all for various reasonings.
  • As of this message, 250 PD-NWS images have been checked out of the ~1,400.
  • The photograph of the1974 Xenia tornado(File:Xenia tornado.jpg) was found tonotbe in the public domain. It is still free-to-use, but under a CC 2.0 license, which requires attribution. From April 2009 to August 2024, Wikipedia/Wikimedia was incorrectly (and by definition, illegally) using the photograph, as it was marked incorrectly as a public domain photograph.

Solutions:
As stated earlier, there is no "formal" rulings, so no "formal" changes have been made. However, there is a general consensus between editors on things which are safe to do:

  • Images made directly by NWS employees can be uploaded and used under the newPD-USGov-NWS-employee template(Usage: {{PD-USGov-NWS-employee}} ). This is what a large number of PD-NWS templated images are being switched to.
  • Images from theNOAA Damage Assessment Toolkit(DAT) can be uploaded and used under thePD-DAT template(Usage: {{PD-DAT}} ). A large number of images are also being switched to this template.

For now, you are still welcome to upload images under the PD-NWS template. However, if possible it is recommended using the two templates above. I will send out another update when new information is found or new "rulings" have been made.TheWeather Event Writer(Talk Page)03:28, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will add that there are a couple other safe templates such as PD-NEXRAD for radar images; and also the generic PD-USGov and PD-USGov-NOAA templates.West Virginia WXeditor(talk)05:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PD-NWS Violations Update #2 (Key To Read Third Section)

[edit]

I am providing members of theWikiProject of Weatheralong with users who frequently edit weather-related articles an new update (2nd update) to the discussions regardingthe PD-NWS image copyright template.

On the Commons, an RFC discussion is taking place to figure out how to manage the template. No "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred, so nothing has changed. That is not a surprise as the RFC is still ongoing.

What is new?

  • The entireTemplate:PD-NWShas been placed inside a "License Review" template, which is viewable via the link aforementioned.
  • Most of the photographs which were uploaded to the Commons originally under the PD-NWS template (approximately 1,500) have been reviewed. Out of those ~1,500 images, only about 150 are requiring additional looks. Most images have been verified as free-to-use and switched to a respective, valid template.
  • As of this moment, approximately 50 photos have been nominated for deletion (results pending).
  • A handful of images have been deleted (either confirmed copyrighted or under the Commonsprecautionary principle.
  • One image has been kept following a deletion request under the PD-NWS template.

How to deal with new photos?

Given all of this, you might be wondering how the heck you use weather photos while creating articles? Well, here is what you can do!

What about third-party photos?

In the case of third-party photos...i.e. ones not taken by the National Weather Service themselves...there is an option which wasdiscussed and confirmedto be valid from an English Wikipedia Administrator.

  • KEY:Third party images of tornadoes & weather-related content can potentially be uploaded viaWikipedia's Non-Free Content Guidelines!
  • Experiments/testing has been done already! In fact, I bet you couldn't tell the difference, but the tornado photograph used at the top of the2011 Joplin tornadowas already switched to a Non-Free File (NFF)! Check it out:File:Photograph of the 2011 Joplin tornado.jpeg!That photo's description can also be used as a template for future third-party tornado photographs uploaded to Wikipedia...with their respective information replaced.
  • NFFs can be uploaded to multiple articles as well!
  • The absolute key aspect of NFFs is that they relate to the article and are not decoration. For example with the Joplin tornado, the photograph: (1) shows the size of the tornado, (2) shows the "wall of darkness", which was described by witnesses, (3) shows a historic, non-repeatable event of the deadliest tornado in modern U.S. history. The exact reasoning does not have to be extremely specific as Wikipedia's NFF guidelines "is one of the most generous in the world" (words ofRlandmann(not pinged),the administrator reviewing all the PD-NWS template images).
  • Tornado photographs will almost certainly qualify under the NFF guidelines, especially for tornadoes with standalone articles or standalone sections.
  • NFFs cannot be used when a free-photograph is available, no matter the quality, unless the section is about that specific photograph.For example, the photograph used at the top of the2013 Moore tornadoarticle is confirmed to be free-to-use, therefore, no NFFs of that tornado can be uploaded on Wikipedia. However, the "Dead Man Walking" photograph could almost certainly be uploaded as an NFF to the1997 Jarrell tornadoarticle as that photograph is the topic of a section in the article.
  • NFFs currently on Wikipedia can and should be placed in this category:Category:Non-free pictures of tornadoes.

Update Closing

Hopefully all of that information kept you informed on the Commons copyright discussion process and how you can still create the best articles possible! If you have a question about something mentioned above, reply back and I will do my best to answer it! Also, ping me in the process to ensure I see it!

Sharpie

[edit]

Hello Hurricanehink! I have to admit I don't know exactly what I'm doing as I have only started adding to wikipedia. I have a weird love for sharpies and noticed that the page didn't talk about specific colors or where they come from (certain colors are discontinued or only come in certain packs). I don't want to be a bother but I added a bunch to this page and it was reverted by another user. At first glance they hadn't said anything, just simply reverted my input. I had to ask them why and they gave me attitude and really no explanation for the revert. So I added my information again....to have the same user revert my stuff again. I don't understand because I sourced my work. Once looking at this user's talk page I realized he does this to many people, on many different subjects. He thinks he's wikipedia king, the end all be all if you will. Many people on the page are asking for the information I provided, I truly don't get if this is my fault or the user who feels they would like to revert anything added by another person. I don't know if I should open a dispute resolution or ask for a protection for my items, as stated previously I don't completely understand how all of this works. Thank you in advance for all that you do.Thegoldengen(talk)04:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
