As a member of WikiProject Films, you are invited to take part in the project's first questionnaire. It is intended to gauge your participation and views on the project. At the conclusion of the questionnaire, the project's coordinators will use the gathered feedback to find new ways to improve the project and reach out to potential members. The results of the questionnaire will be published in next month's newsletter. If you know of any editors who have edited film articles in the past, please invite them to take part in the questionnaire. Please stop by and take a few minutes to answer the questions so that we can continue to improve our project. Happy editing!

I know you're a regular on Featured images, so I thought I might point you at File:2TE10U_Russian_Locomotive.jpg which I happened across. I found the colours and the contrast almost oil-on-canvas like. —Sladen (talk) 23:34, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
WOW - This is very weird. My last name is Janke as well and I've been looking for information on this train set. I was given the exact set from my father whom was given it by his parents when he was little. Do you know where I can go or find out how much it is worth? You can reach me at djanke1108@aol.com.

Would you mind adjusting the license on File:Dettifoss Iceland3.jpg to, basically, any other license? The problem with "GFDL 1.2 only" is that if WP goes to Creative Commons (which may happen sometime this year) this tag will not be compatible. GFDL 1.3 is compatible, as are almost all of our other tags. BTW, it's a really great image. Thanks. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 21:50, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I like your version better. I fixed the tag (it was slightly different than the original), uploaded it to Commons and linked to it from the original. Thanks! ~ JohnnyMrNinja 09:26, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I recently started the Dermatology task force and want to create a subpage for the taskforce that addresses dermatologic photos, giving guidelines/recommendations for good images. On that page I was simply going to link over to Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_criteria, but also wanted to added a few comments specifically geared towards dermatologic photos (like something about always having a ruler, etc in the picture to keep size in perspective, etc.). I also found a paper online (see [1]) and thought I could integrate some of its pointers into the page. However, I am a dermatologist, not professional photographer, and therefore wanted to know if you, or any of your friends, would help me develop this page? kilbad (talk) 17:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
Hope all is well.
You make valuable contributions to Wiki but could you please remove the magician picture?
It is offensive and insulting to me. It shows and stands for every thing that is wrong with magic and helps foster poor public perception. Magic is relegated to the lowest rung of the entertainment ladder by most of the public and your picture shows the prime reasons why. Magic is a performing art and should be the richest of all performing arts.
In a baseball article would anyone show poor performer it their living room playing WII baseball?
Well, if you read the caption, it says "AMATEUR" magician... I'm sure there are photos of "Little League" baseball players, too! Live and let live... ;-) --Janke | Talk 07:03, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was not able to get that much contrast and brightness improvement, out of my Adobe photo software.
I am curious as to why the KBytes made such a reduction, with your editing (from 1.36MB, to 631KB). When I improve my existing photos, I rarely get much KB reduction, and sometimes it actually increases.
I am eager to learn more about the how and why to improve old photos, so any pointers, information or explanations will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Janke
I live on Vancouver Island BC - my dad bought a bunch of Triang TT in 1959 on a visit back to England. I have it now. Do you know much about it? I have quite a bit of track about 8 personal railcars and about 8 industrial ones with 4 engines and coal cars. a few extra bits too like a walkover bridge, a station that says Plymouth on it and a railyard building. My Dad was an Electrical engineer trained in England but moved to Canada in 1952. He made his own transformer that was quite large but I do not have it now. We bought a new one and it works fine. Some of the old switches burned out when hooked up. I have not run the set for about 10 years and the engines probably need cleaning and oiling. Thanks Mark Lawrence. yes we have many of the boxes and paperwork —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.131.137 (talk) 03:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This poster is distorted. The image should really be stretched vertically. You can see examples of the poster in proper proportions from Google Images.

Hello Janke, I'm Hunter. I have what is perhaps an unusual question, but I thought you might be uniquely suited to answer it since you are an animator, and you took a picture of Frank Thomas. I am trying to find information specifically about the famous spaghetti eating/kiss scene in Lady and the Tramp. I'm looking for anything I can find about the scene, including how it was conceived, animated, critically received, etc. etc. I've been told Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life is a good source for this, but am looking for any other books, journals, news articles, etc. that could be helpful, and wonder if you could perhaps give me some advice of where to look?

This file really ought to be a lossless PNG, so that JPEG compression artifacts don't get in the way of illustrating what you want to illustrate. I'd convert it myself, but really, if you still have the original, that would be better.
If you have a reason why it should be a JPEG, I'm all ears. And, of course, if there's no way to get a PNG version, you might as well remove the tag I put on the image, since it would be better to leave it as a JPEG than to convert it again. — trlkly 15:50, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi to Finland, Janke
I can agree and I will not object to the removal of the goat bowl, as you say, because "there was no way of watching it until it was made into a modern animation".

My Name is Russell Wallace. I'am currently a senior at the State University at Fredonia, in Fredonia,NY. As a student here at Fredonia I'am pursuing a degree in History with a minor in Museum studies. For my minor I'am working with the local historical society to renovate and reestablish a local train exhibit. For this train exhibit we were looking for a detailed cutout of how a Locomotive works. We found a website that had many pictures and animations by a man named R.A. Booty. We are looking for permission to use both the animations as well as the cut out of the train. I wasn't able to find a way to communicate with R.A Booty him or herself but I saw that you worked with this person on another page. I was hoping you could lead me in a direction of how to get in contact with R.A Booty. Any help would be greatly appreciated and any material we would used would be used for purely educational purposes.
Thank you,

Higher resolution version of Louis Marx photo ...[edit]
Janke:
I edit Steam in the Garden magazine in the United States (http://www.steamup.com). One of our contributors has written an article about converting a Louis Marx "Commodore Vanderbilt" locomotive from clockwork to live steam.
To illustrate a sidebar article about Marx and its history, I was wondering if you had a higher resolution version of the boxed set that you have posted here. The version uploaded is too small by about half to be able to run in a print magazine. If you would provide your full name, I'll credit you in the article and send you a hard copy of the final printed issue.
If you don't have a bigger version of the photo, that's OK. I'll find something else.
I don't have a bigger version, sorry. That photo is very old, shot with a very early digital camera. --Janke | Talk 12:58, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Removing the Bulk of the Criticism Section of Animation[edit]
Hey there! I understand your intent with shortening the section on the critique of animation, but you completely deleted all of the information on feminist critique. The section now lacks any views or sources on a perspective that is crucial to the nature of animation. Is there a way to add the content back in or do you think it should be as a separate page?SnowNeana (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2015 (UTC)SnowNeana[reply]
I am somewhat confused as this is the first time I have wanted to use a photo that I have found on Wikipedia.
I am doing a story about the invasion of the phragmites in the Muskoka region of Ontario Canada.
Your panoramic photo of phragmites invading a sandy beach is very similar geography to the Muskoka area---rock, vegetation etc.
I would very much like to use this photo (with the proper credit) but I really can't understand whether I can or cannot.
Can you please help me with this question.
Thank you,

Permission to Use Image (commercial purposes)[edit]
Hello, Janke ... My name is Mark A. Miller, Marketing Communications Director (HRV, Inc.).
I'm seeking permission from you to use the image shown below in an advertisement for HRV Conformance Verifications Associates, Inc. (www.hrvinc.com) ...
Hi Janke-
You opposed the original citing crop-related issues. An alternate version (crop) of the image has been added with some perspective correction. Perhaps this is more acceptable. Either way, thanks for the comment, I think the image is improved. Many thanks.--Godot13 (talk) 20:39, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
License tagging for File:NEWScotland-2016-Aerial-Blackness Castle 01.jpg[edit]
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:31, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding one of the photos on the featured picture page,[edit]
Hey, can I convince you to change your mind on a featured image linked here, would you reconsider keeping in mind the historical value of the picture as well, knowing that you are quite right on what you stated there but the photograph is the only copy in this case, there is so much we can do ourselves to eliminate the damage done by time with no access to the original also I mentioned that things that could be done with the source we have here, would like your response on the matter please. I noticed you have a great deal of experience, looking forward to your reply. And just as a reminder, if you wish to remove the link I have given here right above, you could do so to prevent any advertising that might happen through this page. Many thanks for your interest. @Janke:HardMental (talk) 22:38, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The cel is from The Library of Congress. The JPG you're looking at points to the original TIFF version from the LOC. I just when through the video frame-by-frame and found the exact frame (at 12:47), and it's clearly not the same—and looking at other frames reproduced in Canemaker's book, it's not marked the same, either. I have no idea what's going on with the LOC item. They should probably be informed. Curly "JFC" Turkey🍁¡gobble! 13:05, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia's rules regarding when to revert someone else's contribution to an article[edit]
You have violated a few of Wikipedia's rules regarding content removal when you removed the sentence I had added to "cartoon animations." Please read through "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_removal" so as to not make that mistake again. To summarize, the proper thing to do would be one of the following:
a) Ask more than one unaffiliated party their advice on whether or not to remove the sentence and citation. The talk page is great for this.
b) Immediately explain to me why you removed it in a message just like this one. Leaving a detailed explanation post-edit works as well.
c) Edit my contribution to fix it (without removing it entirely), if the reason you removed it was because the citation was done poorly, or if the contribution needed revision.
I suspect you removed my content for reason (c), because you felt my contribution was poorly implemented. Removing my contribution for that reason, in my opinion, would be lazy; inconsiderate; and extreme. Wikipedia editors are exactly that; they aren't meant to delete everything they have minor problems with, with the expectation that the original contributor will try again, as I'm sure you know; that would be antagonistic, as opposed to cooperative and helpful. Unfortunately, this is a common misconception, so it is worth reminding you about our role, as I have just done. UnderCloud (talk) 03:06, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your note. The reason I removed your contribution (which I stated was GF = good faith), was due to its banality and obviousness. However, I'll leve it in this time. Best regards, --Janke | Talk 13:09, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I made the edit on the stop motion page.
In reference to your original undo reasoning, stop motion is a form of animation, (speaking as a professional MoCap animator) - however it is considered a separate sub-category, hence just a 1 line reference and a link to its own page.
Obviously the kineograph led to modern animation of drawn cells and keyframes, and thus CG. In the modern era, a flipbook is it's own thing and depending on its implementation can be a form of stop motion.
But check the use of the parlence in this example of PBS:
http://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-for-kids/diy-stop-motion-flipbook/
Any search for 'stop motion flipbook' in google will show amateur and professional animation using the terms in conjunction.
Thank you Janke, but I've been adding all citations and doing a little bit of grammar, mainly looking around at Google Books. I don't have time to improve the animation article since I believe it may quickfail at GAN or at FAC. The article had its peer review in 2007, and here's what it looks like after this wasn't reviewed. It shows the lack of referencing as well as cleanup tags. I think the article is very bloated, since it has lot of cruft, balance and lack of focus at least. What I think I can believe is we can possibly format to a better prose without the copyvios, but I don't at moment since I can't think about it. John (Talk) 06:06, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I see that you are the author of the image for the layout (pictured) of the Carolwood Pacific Railroad currently in place in its article. It appears to be hand-drawn. Have you ever thought about creating a computer-based drawing of the layout? The reason I ask is because I am in the early stages of improving the article so that it can eventually achieve featured article status, just like the Disneyland Railroad article, which I re-wrote earlier this year. I don't know how familiar you are with the process of elevating an article to featured status (in short, it's a giant pain-in-the-neck), but one aspect of it is a focused review of the article's images, and frankly, I don't know if an image of an informal sketch is going to make it past that point. As you know, I attempted to create a route diagram of the CPRR here: Template:Carolwood Pacific Railroad, and as you correctly pointed out, it's not a 100% accurate representation of the actual layout. If you have the ability and time to do so, consider creating a new, computer-based map of the CPRR's layout. That way, you can continue to be the author of the layout image in the CPRR article and help pave the way for it to become a featured article. Jackdude101 (Talk) 23:43, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Higher resolution version at File:Rodberget38.jpg. This was originally intended as a temporary file, as indicated in the description. (Please redirect to the above file after deleting!)
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Thank you for supporting the featured article candidacy for the Carolwood Pacific Railroad here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Carolwood Pacific Railroad/archive1. The review is going well, but the FA admin Sarastro wants additional review regarding the FA criteria, specifically whether the article is well-written, comprehensive, well-researched, and neutral. Since you are very familiar with the subject (I believe you also own at least one of the books used as a source in the article), adding a follow-up to your previous comment on the FAC page regarding these criteria will be very helpful. Once that's done, the article will be ready for promotion. Jackdude101talkcont 15:50, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Victoria Memorial situated in Kolkata[edit]
I have made some adjustments. Edit2 is the latest iteration and incorporates the feedback received till now. Please check and further advice. Subhrajyoti07 (talk) 18:04, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok let me try another way to fix this photo. Yes I used multiple masks to correct the sky in Edit2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Subhrajyoti07 (talk • contribs) 08:05, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have uploaded a newer version of the original image and titled it Edit4. I think this has addressed the exposure issue to a better extent than the earlier efforts. Would be grateful if you can spare some time and review.Subhrajyoti07 (talk) 13:31, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The revert you did on Stop motion makes sense and I appreciate the useful feedback that you placed at the same time. I'll figure out a better place to place the information. Cheers~ ₪RicknAsia₪ 02:29, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Celestial map from 1670, by the Dutch cartographer Frederik de Wit.[edit]
Hi Janke
May I ask your help.
Did you take the photograph of the original Celestial Map and then uploaded it? I know you are familiar with TV and I am working on a drama in the UK and we wish to use it in the background. I need to seek your permission to use 'World Rights inc North America, all media in perpetuity' it if you took the photograph of the original.
Please reply on the DR if you can help clear up the file history. Alexis Jazz (talk) 08:31, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am indeed the author/photographer of this photo. It seems like someone has transferred the image to another wiki or to Commons, and then deleted my original. Not nice... IIRC, I had a note on the original page stating Must be accompanied by credit line "Photo 1994 by J-E Nyström" if used outside Wikipedia. Compare with the credit line on my photo of Frank Thomas [[3]] – Regarding mods, I can't tell for sure, since the original has disappeared. Maybe a slight crop? Thanks for pinging me! --Janke | Talk 18:31, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You can log in on Commons with the same username and password you use here? Alexis Jazz (talk) 19:50, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Janke,
Micro-Trains also produce Z, as mentioned in the article. Do not undo revisions unless you know better, I expect you to revert your undo.
DesmondW
The main reason for the revert was: Blatant advertising link. --Janke | Talk 16:26, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Stupid, that is not the reason you quoted. Undo the reversal or I will, the link is valid as a major Z manufacturer.DesmondW (talk)
Hello, I'm StringTheory11. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Mercury (element) without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. StringTheory11 (t • c) 17:14, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
