Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited US battlefield UAVs, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Line-of-sight (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jamaica Savings Bank

The photo you put in shows a clock at 161-11 Jamaica Ave but the bank is at 161-02 which must be across the street. So the address must be wrong or that's not the right bank. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.203.8 (talk) 05:52, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking on me; I make many pictures in unfamiliar places and mistakes are not rare. That was an especially hectic day because I was using a new method of finding targets and becoming aware of its limitations. Unaware that the bank was a landmark, I concentrated on the clock and only discovered the importance of the bank later. However, despite the confusion of addresses given for clock and bank, I stand by my identification. The article quotes the NYCLPC description, ". . . deeply rusticated ground floor with windows protected by elegant metal grilles. The facade is framed by double-story pilasters . . . " and my picture, poor at it is, of the now Chase Bank on the south side of the Avenue at 161-02, seems to match the description.

As for 161-11 Jamaica Avenue on the north side, now housing Fabulous Optical, no street clock is apparent. Google Street View depicts it clearly as totally unlike either my picture or the description. It bears what looks to me like the mark of the old Dime Savings Bank. All north side addresses are odd; all south side are even numbers. Why the clock standing on the south side of the avenue, next to the even numbered Chase bank, is listed as having an odd numbered address, I do not understand but I still think that building is the former JSB. I would be grateful if one of my alert WP:talk page stalkers would think of an alternative way to confirm my identification or tell me I am, as sometimes, hopelessly confused. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:26, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You already know I took a picture of that clock in 2011, and back then the clock was named as being at 161-11 Jamaica Avenue. But when I did a Google Street View scan of that area and zoomed in on the Chase Bank, the address above the doors read "161-10!" On the building next door, the address reads 161-04. There's a building next to that one that's a little smaller than the Chase Bank which also has a metal grille on one of the ground floor windows across from the Capital One Bank building on the northeast corner of Jamaica & 161st Street, and though I can't find any address for that one, I suspected that might've been 161-02. However, an article I just found in the Queens Buzz website seems to confirm my suspicion, and so does the Bridge and Tunnel Club website. Of course we can't forget the Forgotten New York website. As for the reason behind the odd number address for the clock surrounded by even number addresses, apparently it was moved across the street, and declared a landmark after being moved. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 06:11, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE Jim, I just replaced the incorrect image with the correct building, but I'm afraid I have some bad news. When I was taking pictures of the place I saw an NYC Fire Inspector examining the building, and the owners have neglected it to the point where it's loaded with fire code violations. -------User:DanTD (talk) 19:30, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Very good. Well, for a building on the south side of the avenue, the light will only be very good on summer mornings when lazy old people haven't had breakfast yet, but at least it beats mine. Any chance you'll still be in town for the Wikipicnic in Prospect Park nine days from now? Or even the editathon at Lincoln Center this Saturday? Jim.henderson (talk) 19:18, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New article

Hi. You do good work! I just put one of your photos into a new article I created, Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. I tried to come up with a cropped version, which I think would look better, but have computer/photo issues. If you have the time and interest, perhaps you might be interested in doing it, and inserted the cropped version? Just thought I would check. Thanks for all your good work. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 23:00, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Butting in here: I hope you and Jim don't mind, but I made a cropped version and inserted it into the article. Jim, if you're not happy with the crop, please feel free to replace it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delighted. Tell you a small secret, since learning a couple years ago that the better retouchers than me (They are legion) sometimes seek to work their magic on my pix, I try to remember to crop loosely so as to leave room for them to work. Jim.henderson (talk) 02:05, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Old Put outdated and erroneous map coverage

I just thought you might like to know this, since you've frequently rode your bike along the former ROW of the New York and Putnam Railroad; I was looking at the old line along the Saw Mill River Parkway and I found that the Historic Aerials Online website contains topographical maps claiming the line still existed and was owned by Conrail in 1999! Along with that, Google Street View claims there's actually a Metro-North Station on NY 119 for the Putnam Branch at "9 West Main Street, Elmsford, NY 10523!" I'm dead serious about this. Go and check this for yourself. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 05:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am familiar with the former Elmsford station, now a restaurant, since it's just a few yards south of a much used meeting place for biker gangs. Slightly odd that topomaps should list an active line several years before I started biking this route. Very odd that Street View should have data half a century out of date. My next visit will probably be in Springtime, and I'll be sure to snap some pictures. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:18, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile Commons Uploader app

Hey there! Saw your comment on meta about the Wikipedia apps not having a way to donate images to commons. That is true, but only because we are working on a dedicated app for commons itself! While I haven't yet set up a proper project page, you can find info on mw:Apps/Commons, and download it for testing from [1]. There's heavy active development going on right now, so expect things to break / new features to turn up. You should also come up on #wikimedia-mobile on freenode and poke us! Thanks for testing!

New Help Request

Hi Jim

This is Michael the person you helped last week at Wikipedia Day. You showed me how to upload a file but we didn't complete the task because I was uncertain of the copyright status of the document.

I finally navigated the copyright issue with help from Invertzoo , Orange Mike and and Wikiwatcher1 .

However, the file that I eventually uploaded is a mess.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Press_Release_Metropolis_Video_Rock_from_CBGB.pdf

The problem in retrospect is that I compressed the document using Adobe Acrobat Pro compress document feature and that must have wiped out something the wikimedia management software uses.

It looks OK at full resolution but the smaller sizes don't read at all.

Is there a way to replace a file on the Wikicommons with a higher resolution file?

MichaelDOwen (talk) 17:01, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be so late; I put too low a priority on answering things that are addressed to me personally. The file in question is found at Commons:File:Press Release Metropolis Video Rock from CBGB.pdf; that's a more usual format for interwiki links though it's really no problem the other way. Discussing the matter here in Wikipedia is slighty awkward, and more important won't benefit from my friendly talk page stalkers in Commons:User talk:Jim.henderson who are attuned to questions about pictures and uploads.

Yes, PDF files from most sources carry text, but when a PDF is converted from .JPG or other raster format the internal information is usually just a raster scan. Any compression is done by methods similar to graphics programs except you don't get as much control over the process. So, it's better not to convert to PDF. As for the legalities of a photo of an old document, you have been fortunate to find better help than I can provide.

Bad photos and other bad documents on Commons can indeed be overwritten but you have to use the "old" upload form as somewhat discussed in Commons:Commons:Village pump/Archive/2008/06. This is seldom a good idea, however. Although Commons:Commons:Overwriting existing files is mostly about new versions of someone else's files, it also applies to cases like Commons:File:Worth Monument tight crop 2 IMG 2936.JPG where a Wikibuddy of mine recropped his own photo. Just add a suffix like -2 or some such in the filename, and put links into the description so photonerds can go back and forth between good and bad versions.

Oh, and next Sunday I intend to attend the Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC which will be an editathon at Brooklyn Public Library. We're supposed to concentrate on Brooklyn material but nobody minds if we stray into other topics. Bring your laptop; having given my netbook away I'll have my tablet.

Very much appreciate it, and I'm looking forward to meeting you soon. I'm travelling in Asia for work for a couple weeks, which is why I didn't respond more quickly; unfortunately it's also why I'm going to miss the Brooklyn Public Library meetup this weekend.

Wikipedia workshop

Thanks, Jim, for your helpful tips during the Wikipedia workshop here at the Brooklyn Public Library. Interesting to know you once lived in my hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee.Amasewa1 (talk) 19:55, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was a pleasant and I hope informative session. Unfortunately after dinner when I hastily unfolded my bike to pedal back to Manhattan I neglected to fasten a joint. While crossing Eastern Parkway it collapsed underneath me. I landed on my face and left hand. Dr Sam Cohen did a lovely repair on my broken tooth, and my new glasses will arrive in a couple days and my scrapes and bruises will heal, but my broken hand will be in its cast for six weeks. No bicycling and not much photograpy or (single hand) typing until then. Jim.henderson (talk) 12:12, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Get better Jim

A few months ago, on a handyman assignment, outside at a client's house, there were two stairs, but I thought there were three, and I took a tumble, spilling my tools across the yard, breaking one of my clients outdoor lights, some cuts and scrapes. I didn't have a bicycle to blame -- just didn't count the steps -- but us tough guys have much to do and things to see and stuff to write and places to go, and I trust you will be back in the saddle soon.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:13, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Panasonic DMC-FZ200 and DMC-FZ20

Mr. Henderson, My subsection of DXO Mark in Bridge Camera is about DMC-FZ200 and not about the old version of DMC-FZ20. Both has maximum fixed aperture along the antire zoom, but has different magnification of zoom and as I know DMC-FZ20 has no RAW. Sometimes I also confuse with so many codes of the cameras. I want the readers to know that fast lens is not directly has good image quality. Thank you so much for your attention.Gsarwa (talk) 17:06, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would expect such a discussion to go in the discussion page of the article in question, but if you think this is a better place, no problem. I am happy to know that someone with a detailed knowledge of recent models is interested in contributing to Wikipedia's camera articles. However, you should remember the different purposes of the different kinds of Wikipedia article. In the bridge camera general article, you added a section about a particular Panasonic Lumix model. The section did not concentrate on one feature but provided details about many features of that model. This would be proper in the Lumix article, or perhaps better in a separate article about the FZ series, but at least a hundred distinct bridgecams have been offered for sale, by several manufacturers. A general article about the type should say little about any one model except in the table of models. Thus, even after my cut, the bridgecam article says more than it should about either the FZ00 or the FZ20. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:40, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Henderson, FZ200 not FZ00 or FZ20 or FZ28. FZ200 is launched at mid 2012, while FZ20 as you write is launched at 2004. DxO mark usually test DSLR, but maybe with growing market of Bridge camera (DSLR-like and EVIL) recently DXO Mark initialy tested it. Some have tested and some are still on the preview. Image quality of Bridge camera are better and better and has surpassed old (even the high-end) DSLR and for the newer Bridge camera the tendency is to catch the image quality of low-end DSLR. I feel that low-end DSLR will follow the fate of Point-and-shoot camera, because some professional on several forums say that when they bring DSLR and Bridge camera together, they will use Bridge camera more and its suprising them, but it's fact. In my writing I wrote about Panasonic DMC-FZ200 and Canon SX50 HS which is launched at end of 2012, the DxO Mark Overall Score is 37 and 47, respectively. 10 points (significant) different, although Panasonic DMC-FZ200 has faster lens. Faster lens is not means better image quality. It's digital world and not as non-digital camera which depends merely on the quality of the lens. I wrote in the Bridge camera article because both are Bridge cameras, but when Bridge camera can surpass or at least has an insignificant different of image quality with low-end DSLR, I will write also at DSLR article. I'm eager to know (still waiting) DxO Mark of Fujifilm HS50 EXR Bridge camera and Canon EOS 700D.Gsarwa (talk) 07:12, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be so late; I have been out snapping photos with my little compact camera. Yes, I'm confident all this material about fate and feelings and digital world and so forth is true, and perhaps some of it is also relevant to some purpose. If any of these statements were relevant to the purposes of the article in question, then that's where that bit would belong. Otherwise you should seek a more appropriate place. Remember the advice give in WP:Crystal and WP:Neutral. Jim.henderson (talk) 22:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your view, I just add column of DxOMark Overall Score in the table, because I think it is important. I also found that image quality of smaller sensor size can catch larger sensor size and also drawback of DSLR Canon 700D, Canon 650D and Canon 600D, The best image quality among it is the 'old' Canon 600D and the image quality of Canon 700D is the worst, although the different is not much.Gsarwa (talk) 03:51, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Westwood

Oh, I didn't mean that I wanted it back to mine. Mine sucks. :p - I was thinking just a tad different angle was in order, with the station and the platform.

Darn it, I voted for you three times in the election and still you didn't get in. Anyway we had a pleasant Saturday evening in Harlem, didn't we? Next day, on my way to Susan the Smail Lady's AMNH tour, I found a Hudson Warehouse rehearsal going on at W90 St and spoke a little to Suzanne Lee, their Director, about how we'll bring their article into Wikicompliance. Is it just me or are women really smarter than when I was young? I like to think it's me finally being smart enough to notice.

In Westwood months ago the Sun was getting low, putting the platform in deep shadow, but yes, I could have spent enough thought to pick a better angle had I not been in a hurry to get to Oradell before sunlight vanished and stopped my biking. There, the Sun became low enough to produce contrasts well within the dynamic limits of JPG coding on a cheap camera. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:19, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

St. Ann's Church (Manhattan)

I hope you are a lot better by now! Back in 2011 you added a file to the above article that suggests you see the article as being about the R. C. parish rather than the 8th St. building. Is that how you'd like to see it develop? Me, I'm more interested in the latter. Vzeebjtf (talk) 18:48, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Almost totally better, thanks. Week and a half ago I had to drop out of a biker gang in Eastchester due to lingering pain much aggravated by hot weather. No problem except when I get too ambitious. With churches I'm little more than a photographer, and the extinct 8th Street Episcopalian already has sort of good photo coverage. Drat; a month ago I was on E110th St but not that block; had forgotten the church. Maybe I'll get there this month for a photo. Right now I'm testing and learning my brand new Dell XPS-10 computer. Busy, busy. Jim.henderson (talk) 20:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean East 10th, not East 110th, right? But the Eighth Street church I'm talking about was demolished in 1902; it's different from the one on 12th Street whose facade still stands. Those are two different former St. Ann's chuches. Thus, my query. Glad you're much better! Vzeebjtf (talk) 00:24, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Probably my ditziness is due to distraction rather than the minor remnant of my injury (going to the doc tomorrow) but anyway I looked at St. Ann's Church (New York City) and found two in Manhattan.

Westchester County NRHP list split proposal

Jim,

About three and a half years ago you agreed with me that it would be better, once Yonkers was split off, to split the Westchester County NRHP list on northern/southern lines rather than calving off Peekskill and New Rochelle as DanTD had done.

Disambiguation link notification for June 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited New York Central Railroad, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page New Buffalo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Jamaica - 179th Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line) Gallery

I still haven't had any replies to my question, but thanks to my recent vacation I was able to gather some more images for a commons gallery for Media related to Jamaica – 179th Street (IND Queens Boulevard Line) at Wikimedia Commons. Knowing how few people are fans of the trash train picture, I have to ask which one of those other pictures do you find more suitable? ---------User:DanTD (talk) 15:57, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
