Kategooriad

Panen südamele, et ka siin kehtib põhimõte, et pole tarvis lisada sama asja juurde nii ülem- kui alamkategooriat. Näiteks Category:Monuments and memorials in Estonia oli teiste kategooriate kaudu juba varem "Culture of Estonia" alamkategooria ja Category:Stone graves in Estonia oli juba varem kategooria "Prehistoric tombs" alamkategooria. Ja ka siin võiks teha uusi kategooriaid vastavalt vajadusele. Näiteks pilt File:Sagadi mõisa kaalumaja.jpg võib esialgu vabalt kuuluda kategooriatesse "Weigh houses" ja "Agricultural buildings in Estonia" selle asemel, et niiviisi omaette kategooriasse eraldatud olla. Samuti pole erilist mõtet ebamäärasel alusel lõdvalt seotud asju kokku panna nagu siin ja tuleb arvestada, millised pildid on ja võiksid olla seal alamkategooriates, näiteks kaminad, noad, kuivatid, laudad, kaevud jne ei käi ju oma põhiolemuselt rahvakultuuri alla. Kui arusaamine kategooriate süsteemist veel eriti hea pole, siis soovitan esialgu kategoriseerida pilte juba olemasolevate kategooriate piires. Pikne 15:42, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

täiesti nõus Sinuga, küll aga on kategoriseerimisel teatav topeldamine mu meelest mõttekas ja kasutajasõbralikkuse huvides vältimatu. Seda on üksjagu isegi Commonsi sakslaste omas (Category:Germany), mida ma olen sageli püüdnud eeskujuks võtta. Püüan seda võimalikult vältida. Samuti nõus, et mõne kategooria tegemisel olen v-o liiga ettevaatav, kasvõi see kaalumaja pilt, sest ma olen üsna kindel, et sinna kategooriasse tuleb juurde, ja pärast ei pea enam ümber kategoriseerima. Folk culture'iga nõus; algul tahtsin sinna koondada rahvakultuuriga seotud (kohati lõdvalt) asjad, ent jätsin selle katki. Tegelt võiks kategoriseerimishuvilistega üldse kuidagi vahetumat koostööd teha, nt Skype'ga --Bioneer1 (talk) 16:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

(ilmselt kasutajale Pikne suunatud kommentaar)

Hi, I see you tried to fix my categorization actions. Although, most of the reverted actions can be acceptable, I think it is much better to be user-friendly (some overcat is unavoidable) not to try use always some (subjective) logic. Unfortunately my English is not so good to argue at professional level--Bioneer1 (talk) 19:24, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

mu pandud kategooriasüsteem oli enne Su kategooriate ennistamist väga sarnane etwiki kategooriale "Eesti". Ma arvan, et mingit ühtlust võiks taotleda, liiati kui kategoriseerimine pole täppisteadus--Bioneer1 (talk) 06:27, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Vikipeedia ja Commonsi kategooriasüsteemil on see põhimõtteline erinevus, et esimeses kategoriseeritakse mõisteid ja Commonsis seevastu paljusid pilte, mis käivad ühe ja sama mõiste kohta, nii et Vikipeedia ja Commonsi süsteemi ühtlustamist minu meelest ei saa taotleda. Samuti pole selline lähenemine vastupidi ühtne teiste Commonsi kategooriatega, näiteks Saksamaa kategooriaga, mida väidetavalt eeskujuks võtad.

Samuti on selline kastuajasõbralikkus kahe otsaga ehk mida rohkem on kategooriapuu alamad astmed ülemalpool dubleeritud, seda raskem on selliste n-ö pseudoalamkategooriate seast leida muid alamkategooriaid, mis viivad kategooriateni, mis pole dubleeritud ja lõppude lõpuks ei tea nii, kust mida otsida, kui loogika asemel tuginetakse suhtelisele kasutajasõbralikkusele.

Categories

Ma arvan, et väikeste kohtade ehitiste jaoks pole omaette kategooriaid (nt Category:Buildings in Turba) esialgu tarvis. Süsteem läheb nii väga kirjuks, ilma et sellest kuigivõrd tulu oleks, eriti kui igas sellises kategoorias on heal juhul paar pilti. Optimaalne võiks olla nii, et kui maakonna ehitiste kategooria on juba suureks kasvanud (100–200 pilti, alamkategooriaid arvestamata), siis võiks ehitised jagada omavalitsuste kaupa. Ja kui omavalitsuse ehitiste kategooria ka suureks on kasvanud, võiks mõelda asulate ehitiste kateooriate peale. Kui mõnest konkreetsest kohast on palju ehitiste pilte, siis on muidugi mõtet ka varem eraldi kategooria teha, nii nagu see linnade puhul sageli on. 2001:7D0:88C2:F401:F059:A4B:8DD1:6657 17:57, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

võiks vähemalt normaalset kasutajanime kasutada :) Üldiselt nõus, ent mu eesmärk oli ehitised "Building in X County" kategoorias täpsemalt kategoriseerida. Üks võimalus on ka lihtsalt "X asula" kategooriasse panna, ilma kategooriat "Buildings in X" lisamata. Hiljem, kui pilte rohkem, siis niikuinii lähevad nad uuesti "X asula ehitiste" kategooriasse. Märgin ka, et kasutajat huvitab enamasti mingi asula objektid ja kategooriast maakonnad otsida ta ei taipa. See on küsitav nt kategooria "Granaries in Saare County" vajalikkus, samas vallati ma ei tahaks neid panna, sest vallad on märksa vähem staatilised haldusüksused kui maakonnad--Bioneer1 (talk) 13:54, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Minu meelest võivad pildid vabalt olla ka otse maakonna ehitiste katgoorias. Need kategooriad pole veel kaugeltki liiga suured. No see, kui alevike või külade ehitiste kategooriad laiemalt vajalikuks osutuvad, võib olla nii kauges tulevikus, et siis võib-olla polegi enam Vikipeediat ega Commonsit. :) Pigem võiks lähtuda praegusest seisust. Ma ei tea, asula on üks võimalik loogiline lüli asjade ruumist kuuluvust puudutavas hierarhias, mitte rohkem loogiline kui vallatasand. Võiks ka arvata, et laiemalt teatakse millegi asukohta eeskätt laiemate üksuste järgi, st kõigepealt kuuluvuse järgi maakonda, siis kuuluvuse järgi valda ja alles siis asukoha järgi mingis külas. Lihtsalt loogiline oleks kategooriapuud arendada alustades üldisemast (vallad enne asulaid) ja tehes kitsamaid jaotisi vajadusel. Igatahes seni pole üldiselt jäetud midagi omavalitsuse järgi kategoriseerimata. Eesti aitadest on juba üle mitme saja pildi, sellepärast oli mõistlik nad maakondade kaupa ära jagada. 2001:7D0:88C2:F401:FDBE:DD36:BEFC:BD38 15:51, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

File:CancerApp.jpg

Hello!. You should always try to categorize your uploaded media in a more accurate category. In this case Category:CT images of mesothelioma. Before upload a media, you should browse by categories to determine the most convenient one/s (or create a new category). The name (CancerApp) is not appropriate, better Mesothelioma, CT image, 01 or similar. Thanks. Jmarchn (talk) 06:07, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

definitely, but this is not my picture. It was an uncategorized picture which was also used in Estonian Wikipedia--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:26, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

But you try must categorize correctly (Category:Medicine must be without media, only categories). The same problem with File:EndoApp.png, where explain "for diabetes". I categorize it as File:Blue circle for diabetes.svg. Thanks. Jmarchn (talk) 06:01, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

If I add picture to the upper category then I hope that an expert in the field of medicine will categorize it better--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:08, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of empty categories

Hi. I see you have been tagging empty categories with "{{delete|empty}}". Thank you for highlighting the problems, but your use of that incomplete syntax makes those cats ugly and puts them into Category:Incomplete deletion requests - missing subpage, leaving others to fix your work. Instead of doing that, please tag those cats "{{speedy|[[COM:CSD#G1]] empty}}" or use Template:Category redirect, as appropriate. See also Template:Delete, Template:Speedy, COM:CSD#G1, and COM:DP.   — Jeff G. ツ 00:22, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, when fixing syntax errors, please check the history. The error may be caused by vandalism, like in this case. Jcb (talk) 14:44, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

media by source

Hi, Estopedist1. I noticed that you removed the following categories from Category:Media by source:

• Category:Media by RUSS TV
• Category:Media contributed by CyArk
• Category:Files from Uncensored Interview

I assume you did this because those categories are in more-specific media source categories. However, whereas "media" and "files" are general categories, each of these is in a more-specific "images" category.

• Category:Media by RUSS TV is in Category:Image sources of Russia.
• Category:Media contributed by CyArk is in Category:Images from non-profit organizations.
• Category:Files from Uncensored Interview is in Category:Images from websites.

Lower-level categories should be more specific, not less. File and media categories don't fit under image categories, just as they wouldn't fit under audio or video categories. In addition, categories named "files" or "media" can have non-image media. Right now these categories have only images, but if non-image media were ever added they would no longer belong in image categories.

So I think these categories need to be either renamed to "images", or recategorized so they are not in image categories. What do you think? --Auntof6 (talk) 08:59, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

actually, it is bigger problem. See, for example, the header in Category:Images by source (should encompasses also video, audio files??). Maybe we do not need categories: category:Image sources (integrated to new category: category:Media sources) and category:Images by source (integrated to category: category:Media by source). So it is a topic of general discussion--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:15, 28 September 2019 (UTC)

MP3 categories

Hi, I must have missed some discussion. Can you please point me to discussion leading to emptying for example Category:MP3 files in Swedish. Ainali (talk) 22:31, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

@Ainali: categorization by file format is generally not allowed. For example,

• Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/05/Category:Flags by type of image,
• Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/11/Category:Ogg sound files,
• Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:JPG flags by country,
• Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/11/Category:WAV files of music by composer,

or the exception Commons:Deletion requests/Category:SVG maps--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:13, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

I haven't read them yet, but it feels very odd since Commons:Categories explicitly recommends them to be added. If that is the consensus, that page should really be changed, and since it have not, I suspect all things you linked to are exceptions to this and that new discussions are needed for at least each file format. Ainali (talk) 07:28, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Now I have read them, and that was a really weak argument, since it is mostly you stating something on a subpage perhaps no one else even read. I find it odd that the process does not require pinging of the creators of the category even. Ainali (talk) 07:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Since you haven't pointed to any policy documents, but only your own previous argument (which also didn't link to any written policy), I'll soon go ahead and revert your edits as they are against what is written in Commons:Categories. Ainali (talk) 11:24, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

@Ainali: if you have strong arguments to save categories circa like: MP3 files of classical music, WAV files of classical music, OGG files of classical music, FLAC files of classical music then we all are waiting--Estopedist1 (talk) 18:14, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

My argument is that it seems to be established policy. Quote "In addition there are several other aspects of the images that can be used to categorize the image:.. ..what format?: information about the unusual media type". That should be all that is needed until you show arguments for changing the policy and actually implementing the policy change before doing mass editing. Ainali (talk) 18:56, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

@Ainali: there is pending discussion Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#Massive_upmerging_and_deletion--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:16, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

redundant?

Hi, you tagged this cat Category:Media of Germany to be categorised for speedy with "redundant", but did not provide information to which other cat it is redundant. --Túrelio (talk) 15:12, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

@Túrelio: What you mean about "other cat"? The main category in this case is "Germany" and all files are moved to the category:Germany--Estopedist1 (talk) 15:15, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, had this system-change been discussed? --Túrelio (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

it is rational. Similar cases: Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:Unsorted pictures of Helsinki, Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:2016 Summer Olympics: unsorted photographs, Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:Uncategorized panoramic photographs. But, of course, if someone is put enormous energy to this bad system ("uncategorized X"), then it is normal to show some resistant (eg Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:Uncategorized images of Canada)--Estopedist1 (talk) 16:31, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

May be, but you know "never change a running system". The difference between these special "to be categorized .. of xx-country" cats versus the mere "xx-country" cat is that the former ones invite users to categorize the contained files. I agree that such kind of maintenance-categories shouldn't go too deep down the category-tree, i.e. country o.k., single cities/provinces/alike may be, but not more specific. So, I don't strongly oppose your approach, but such a systematic change should first be discussed, in general, not for each category, of course. --Túrelio (talk) 17:47, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

smart kid, user:Túrelio :) Especially, I like this "... invite users to categorize the contained files". Logically, my system is very likely better, but in general human beings aren't very logical: they want challenges and categories like "Uncategorized X" are good challenges :) At the same time, if one category consists of thousands of files, almost no one want to categorise then :( --Estopedist1 (talk) 20:21, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Category:To be checked

Hello, I see that you have reverted my edits on Blida and Medea. I have added Category:To be checked, because there was some robot import of images based on these keywords, resulting in a number of images being wrongly categorized (they belong to the provinces of these names, but not the cities). Thus, I had a good reason for adding this cat, while I don't see any good reason for removing it. These categories should be checked (more efficiently by someone local) and files put in the correct categories. If you have a better name that would serve this purpose, please use it.

In cases like this, I think it is better to consult the concerned wikipedian before making hasty reverts.

Moreover, seeing these discussions: User_talk:Estopedist1#redundant?, User_talk:Estopedist1#Moving_from_Category:Uncategorized_images_of_Canada_to_Category:Canada, Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:To be categorised by country, there is a lot of people that oppose your approach and have good reasons. Therefore, I recommend that you refrain from making edits that affect large number of files until there is a broader agreement that it is a change for the better. JiriMatejicek (talk) 19:28, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

@JiriMatejicek: You probably mean these files are come from Panoramio. If these Panoramio files are not related to the populated place in question, then this batch should be take together and name like: "category:Hokkaido prefecture (Panoramio check needed)". If they are related to the populated place then no problem. Files in parent category needs category review anyway.--Estopedist1 (talk) 19:41, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Some of the images in those categories may come from Panoramio, but I don't know who did the mass upload and how. Anyway, there are also other images from different sources (which supposedly should be there), so it would be difficult to separate them. Even some from the batch upload might be in correct category. As for the review, I think that without a label, a) it is unlikely that someone would care to review them, and b) people may not even know that many of the images are in the wrong category. JiriMatejicek (talk) 20:45, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

P.S. With the Hokkaido example, you suggest a more sophisticated label/category than the one I used. I agree that it would be better, but I'm not skilled enough to do it this way (not sure if it's possible, given the reasons above). Anyway, I think the simple label (that would invite people to check the files) is better than none. JiriMatejicek (talk) 20:49, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

#metoo, instead of removing the inconvenient message [1], I would prefer that someone resolves the problems resp. categorizes people and events (not just the color of neckties). --Herzi Pinki (talk) 00:47, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

@JiriMatejicek and Herzi Pinki: every parent category (eg France, People of France, Amsterdam) should have the category Category:To be checked so it is not acceptable approaching. Better are {{Categorise}} or just write to the category's header "NB!-attention" and explain what is wrong, also possible to use proper talk page--Estopedist1 (talk) 06:07, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Then you should make a DR on Category:To be checked. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 08:10, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Herzi Pinki actually I did it, see Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:To be checked--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:38, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

I moved all images in the cat in discussion to Category:Photographs by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, where most of them will get uncategorized. Hope that someone then is willing to walk through and identify the people on the images. regards --Herzi Pinki (talk) 08:37, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

@Estopedist1: "just write to the category's header "NB!-attention" and explain what is wrong" - this sounds like a good point. Please tell me how exactly to use it or point me to a working example. Thanks. JiriMatejicek (talk) 22:35, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Your changes in Category:STL files by subject

Hello Estopedist1!
I saw your changes in Category:STL files by subject. Some time ago I started to sort these files because the category became croweded. I'm glad you continued that path even though I'm not sure about some of your changes. Eg. Category:STL military equipment. What was wrong with having one category for ammunition (Category:STL files of ammunition) and one for weapons (Category:STL files of weapons). Not to say that some objects like Parabellum09.stl or Example.460 Steyr cartridge-full model MNr°0001.stl can not be considered military equipment. Another example would be Category:STL files of music Instruments. What was the purpose of unsorting them and collecting moving them over to Category:STL files of objects creating pretty much the same problem why I started sorting the files. Another example would be Scan the World - SMK17 - KAS2036 - David With The Head of Goliath (Donatello).stl and 十九夜塔（古河市新久田）.stl in Category:STL files of sculptures. I categorised the first one into this category, but not the second one on purpose since one is a sculpture and one looks more like a religious shrine.
I am confused by your edits since some of them don't make any sense to me. Please explain me your edits. --D-Kuru (talk) 16:00, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

@D-Kuru: the core is here: Commons:Village_pump/Proposals#Specifying_categorizing_by_file_format. STL files are somewhat unique (compared to PNG, JPG, OGG files etc), but if dealing with categorization related to file formats then it is rational to keep only very upper categories and not making eg 1-5 member categories. Most important is that these STL files are in topical categories--Estopedist1 (talk) 16:27, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

it is also possible to use category:3D instead of category:STL files--Estopedist1 (talk) 17:44, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Category:WikiProject_Eurovision

WikiProject Eurovision has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Pre-proposal (deletion) related to WikiProjects' templates

@Auntof6, Themightyquill, Joshbaumgartner, Crouch, Swale, and ŠJů: I want to do deletion proposal related to WikiProjects' templates. I am collecting ideas.

I am looked through thousands of categories' talk pages and there are two used templates:

• {{WikiProject Oregon}}, all occurences: [3]
• {{WikiProject Sports}}, all occurences: [4]

In addition, one template is used in categories' pages:

• {{Project Heraldry}}, all occurences: [5]

Our WikiProjects-related stuff aren't established yet; also Commons:WikiProject Council is rather inactive. We probably do not want to template every single category and every single file (although enwiki has done it). And if in far future we will use massively WikiProject's templates then very likely they will be put in category's page, not in the category's talk page. Objections for deletion proposal?--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:54, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

On wikipedia, Wikiproject templates are all on the talk pages, so it seems reasonable they would be here as well. And when something is on a talk page, I don't really seem the harm. I guess I don't strenuously object to you proposing it, but I wouldn't say I support it. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:20, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

I would tend to agree with Themightyquill (talk · contribs) in that using them on talk pages is fine by me, and if it helps a project manage their work, so much the better. I would prefer to see the heraldry project tag likewise be moved to the talk page...I dislike the clutter that has built up on a lot of categories that most users who are not interested in the 'inside baseball' of wikiprojects and other mechanics have to wade through before they can get to what they really want. Josh (talk) 19:27, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Note that Category:WikiProject Christianity was recently kept but that discussion was over media rather than an actual project here. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:13, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

As I can see checking the links, some socalled "WikiProjects" work and their participants use templates to tag categories of their interest. Do you have some indication that they are not contented with this? Are the participants eagerly waiting for your advice on how to improve the functioning of the projects? Please stop to disrupt and destroy and assault everything that does not suit your tastes and ideas. If you don't find something to be beneficial for you, just ignore it. If any wikiproject is not completely dead and abandoned, do not disturb them unless you are a fruitful and constructive participant of the project. We should solve real problems, not create problems where they are not. --ŠJů (talk) 14:03, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

@ŠJů: Raising a question seeking input from a number of users seems like a pretty responsible approach to me and not that of someone out to "disrupt and destroy and assault" as you put it. I often disagree with Estopedist1 on details or even entire proposals, but I voice those in discussions and have generally found this user to be open to well-intended discussion and not dogmatically determined to win their own way at all cost.

Speedy deletion tags

Why are you emptying categories under Category:Uncategorized images of Canada and tagging them with a speedy delete tag citing Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:Pochayiv Lavra - files to categorization? That discussion has nothing to do with the categories you are tagging. The current discussion, in which you have participated, is at Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:To be categorised by country, and the discussion (as far as I'm concerned) has not yet resolved, as you've either ignored or failed to address the points I (and others) have raised. Mindmatrix 13:50, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

@Mindmatrix: see Category:Media needing categories by location. This Canada stuff is last to be removed and then the logical system is established. This "Category:Pochayiv Lavra" is same case. I know it took a lot of your time to establish this uncategorized Canada stuff, but it is not rational and at them moment already unique (other similar categories has been deleted and upmerged)--Estopedist1 (talk) 14:11, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

In the discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:To be categorised by country there are objections to the removal of these categories (at least by me, Gauss (talk · contribs), and P199 (talk · contribs)). None of the concerns mentioned in those objections have been addressed. (To be fair, I believe the discussion has addressed some concerns, such as those of Auntof6 (talk · contribs).) And please don't state as fact that they are "not rational", as that is your opinion. Mindmatrix 17:24, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi Estopedist1, I noted that you put a Speedy deletion tag to Category:Uncategorized images of Copenhagen. I can see that this type of category has been discussed but I cannot find the discussion where a consensus was reached. Generally, I find these categories extremely useful. Can you lead me to the discussion that concluded the deletion of the categories "Uncategorized images of x-city" ? --Pugilist (talk) 22:10, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

@Pugilist: yes, these are meanless categories, because it is actually same as category:Copenhagen, eg:

Closing CfDs

You've been closing a lot of CfD discussions (often resulting in category deletions) where there is definitely no consensus to do so. That's not the way it's intended to work. Just because you have the last word doesn't necessarily make you right, and especially if you don't {{Ping}} the opposer in your comments. Please try to be more patient, or it's going to cause conflict. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:16, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

@Themightyquill: please some examples. So I can analyze my mistakes--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:19, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

I've noticed it over the past few weeks, but these are the three questionable ones that showed up in my feed today:

• Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:Media of Severodvinsk needing categories
• Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:Media of Paris needing categories
• Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/12/Category:UK politician portraits adjusted for infoboxes

Personally, I would have supported at least the first two deletions myself and possibly the third, but I wouldn't have proceedd without more discussion and/or more time. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:28, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Article

Hi Estopedist1; I don't want to be nitpicky, but finally, as I have come across many deletion requests by you starting with "The unused and uncategorised file", I just wanted to point out that you could drop the definite article "The", which would be better English, I think (I'm not a native speaker myself), because, after all, it's not "the" (only or specific), but one of many unused files. Again sorry if this comes across as nitpicky, it just slightly irritated me over time ;-) Gestumblindi (talk) 23:27, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

@Gestumblindi: English would be better and clearer if only one article exist. (I call it Neo-English or Super-English) Should be "the" for any cases, like already Irish does :) But OK, I am not the Language God to change whole world language system :)--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:23, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Well, I'm accustomed to the articles by my native language, (Swiss) German - out of curiosity I just read a bit about the Estonian language which, apparently, doesn't have any articles at all, but demonstrative pronouns are used instead; interesting!

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

---

Hi Estopedist1, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Category:Interior of Titanic (ship, 1912)

Estopedist1: Exactly. I totally agree. There was only one ship called Titanic, which is the famous ship we know today. At first I looked at the category of its twin, the RMS Olympic and realized that instead of putting the year in which he entered service (1911), the year of his launch appeared, 1910. I tried to do the same in the category of the Titanic. However, I left it because not having much experience in these things, I decided to leave it like this because I did not want to spoil more than the links were so as not to confuse the readers. I tried to revert my changes but failed. Still for these things I think the same as you and if there has only been one ship with that name, no date should be set. If anything, the word "Ship" to identify that refers to the ship and not to movies or series based on its history. Javier0203 (talk) 07:01, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your fast response to my cry for help on Bolu's mess. I decided to do some cleaning myself, many pictures could be moved to Category:Nature of Bolu, and several of those were already there, so were over-categorized. I used cat-a-lot for the first time, and intend to learn more about it and use it. But the problem of there being a province and capital (and as I foundː even a district) with the same name remains and is a problem in several Turkish provinces.

Your file renaming

Hello. You renamed today two of the files which I uploaded, GallipoliKoart.png ‎and Ferrariskoart Klaushaff.jpg, pretending correcting an obvious spelling error. I would be happy if you would not to this in the future, or even revert your actions, because it was no spelling mistake. The file naming policy of commons clearly allows uploads of media files in any language in any script (coded as UTF-8). An extreme example of what would be allowed, would be me naming files in Swahili but using for this the Armenian alphabet. I used for the relevant two file names the very poorly widespread language called Luxembourgish. The particularity of this language is that it has a binding orthography but no standard. I mean, for instance German knows many dialects but also the Standard German which is called the language. This is not the case for Luxembourgish, although the only TV channel we have and the evening classes use one of the many dialects, the law does not make a difference between the dialects and does not establish one of them as binding standard. A few radio speakers in the national radio channel speak even another dialect as most of their colleagues and this is aired because all dialects are equally allowed. You probably got a message from one of my fellows at the lb-wiki implying that one dialect is the official standard and that all deviation of the "standard" is a spelling mistake. But as said, although one of the dialects is the most widespread nowadays, it is not established as standard by law so that it cannot claim to be the language, all dialects are equal and can claim to be aspects of the same language. However, if you choose a given dialect, you must use the orthography rules which are binding for everybody. If you use the Mierscherdall dialect (i.e. the most widespread nowadays), then the word for map is Kaart and that is the correct spelling according to the Luxembourg orthography, but if you use the group of Southern dialects then the word is Koart and that is the correct spelling according to the Luxembourg orthography. To say it bluntly: your renaming of Kaart Gallipoli.png ‎and Ferrariskaart Klaushaff.jpg ‎are obvious spelling mistakes! Commons allows any language to be used and Luxembourgish knows no standard which would be allowed to claim by law to be the language, so commons allows any Luxembourg dialect to be used for file naming, as long as the binding orthography is used, which had been the case for my files before you intervened. Or, to make it even more obvious: There is a wikipedia in the Alemannic German dialect and I am convinced that Commons allows files bearing an Alemannic German name to be uploaded, hence the rule that uploads of media files shall be in a "language" anyway allows an extensive interpretation of what is a "language". And regarding Luxembourgish, no dialect can claim by law to be the language respectively all dialects may claim to be one aspect of the language. The Southern dialect word "Koart" scrupulously respects the binding orthography rules, so please refrain from renaming files bearing that word. --Otets (talk) 22:49, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

@Otets: just add the Luxembourgish description (... Koart) at files in question and no-one is renaming then.--Estopedist1 (talk) 05:46, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

It is a bit more complicated than that, because unlike file names or discussions at discussion pages, descriptions had to be unified to one dialect chosen by the community, as otherwise texts would become unreadable in a project where everybody can edit even parts of sentences. And descriptions can be changed by normal wikipedians while file names cannot, so descriptions tend to have a short life. But is already ok if the above convinced you to refrain from further renamings. For the rest I found a better solution, I took out the renaming tag (if there would be a discussion page for such cases I would have posted there but I did not find any). --Otets (talk) 12:09, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

@Otets: there are many Koart-files which user:Les Meloures wants to be renamed. See Category:Media_requiring_renaming_-_rationale_3--Estopedist1 (talk) 12:21, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I know, so far I did not take his renaming-tag away from all my files, just from some where the context is a specific one. In these very minutes I am discussing with Les Meloures on the lb-wiki and later today I will even call him. I write you here only for one reason: please do not rename files because Les Meloures claims it to be an obvious case of misspelling, because it is neither a misspelling nor an obvious case. If Les Meloures and I will succeed to settle this, then I will let you know the result. But for the moment please do nothing because the subject is very tricky and not obvious as claimed in the tag. --Otets (talk) 14:18, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

I spoke yesterday evening with Les Meloures. He brought in an argument from another field of interests with priority over the present discussion, and to which we have to abide. In short, you may continue renaming. --Otets (talk) 17:24, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Removing license templates, COM:Belarus

Hello Estopedist1. Please do not remove license templates, like you did in this edit. If you are concerned about the copyright status of a file, please apply the correct copyright tag or nominate the file for deletion. If you have any questions, please let me know.

We need your feedback!

Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!

I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.

We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.

Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.

Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.

Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Notable people only?

People need to be notable according to certain standards to have Wikipedia articles made about them. I do not think the same rules apply at Commons in using categories. There do not seem to be any such rules. Categories are to help users find images with a common subject. Please do not initiate discussions about the existence of categories based on any persons notability! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:03, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

@SergeWoodzing: only wonder that you take 100 images of your grandma or grandpa or any other not notable person. We can make billions of categories there. Obvious superclutter in Commons--Estopedist1 (talk) 13:09, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

If the images themselves are educational or worth keeping, a category for each person in them is what we are supposed to have. That's what categories are for. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:11, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

thanks for your great work

Don't do that

The requester has to change the name, not I. So don't mention me like this: [6] - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 16:24, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

@Richardkiwi: maybe the file movers shouln't be renamed any file before its description is harmonised with the proposed new name? I guess it is quite usual when the new name proposer forget to change the file's description--Estopedist1 (talk) 16:31, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

You don't realize I probably did that already a thousand times or even more, sometimes also the category. I also declined requests where they didn't change anything (category, description, data, etc.) If I see it, I change it, most of the time. So if you see it, I didn't see it, but still my opinion is, it's the responsibility of the requester.. - Grtz. - Richardkiwi (talk) (talk) 16:40, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Polish COAs and flags renaming

Hi! So while it might not be the case with municipal emblems of other countries, for Polish COAs and flags we do use renaming so that we don't have to manually replace each file in Wikipedia articles in each language. Here are some examples of files that have been renamed for this reason:

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:POL_S%C5%82ubice_COA_old.png&action=history
• https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:POL_powiat_gorzowski_COA_(2000-2016).svg&action=history

I would like to request allowing me to rename file:POL Żmigród COA.svg and file:POL Żmigród flag.svg so that file:POL Żmigród COA 2021.svg and file:POL Żmigród flag 2021.svg could be moved in their place :)

Best wishes, SMiki55 (talk) 17:41, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

@SMiki55: sorry, I am not familiar with Polish stuff. But, usually we don't rename files if something will become outdated--Estopedist1 (talk) 18:36, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

No problem :) Do you feel comfortable with moving the mentioned files then? SMiki55 (talk) 17:50, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

File Quistorp-Wappen.png (Commons) and Quistorp-Wappen.png (DE-WP)

Dear Estopedist1, with my request to rename the second file above I may not have communicated the reason right. I would like to use the file at commons in the DE-Wikipedia de:Quistorp (Familie) but cannot due to the same name of a similar file in WP-DE. So would you please be so kind to find a solution for that e.g. renaing the file on commons? Thank you very much for your assistance! Alter Fritz (talk) 09:01, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

@Alter Fritz: is your goal to export the file from dewiki to Wikimedia Commons? Dewiki file is clearly public domain--Estopedist1 (talk) 12:25, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

OK, thanks for your hint, I will try to do this instead. 12:44, 8 November 2021 (UTC)Alter Fritz (talk)

Hi, Iwas not successful to move the file. Can you help me? "Move to commons" is not working with the given license. Alter Fritz (talk) 12:56, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Harmonisation renames

Hi. The harmonisation rationalisation used on this rename seems out of the scope of the renaming principle and the examples given. The rename is not meant to be about aligning names for nicety or preference, and instead for a clear purpose, eg. flags, football kit, pages of books, where there is an application of templates to handle a series of pages. It would be great if you could review that guidance, and have that thought that as individuals it is not about our preference, and when we manage requests that sometimes we need to decline them explaining to the requester what I am saying now. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:22, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Name of Papa Leone XIII (1898) colorizzato.jpg

Hi Estopedist1, the name of this file, of which I'd suggested to rename to a similar name of it's original version (Leo XIII..jpg) that you put some days ago was reverted by GO69 with the reason in french: La langue italienne a parfaitement droit de cité sur Commons. Xième acte de vandalisme consistant à traduire un fichier en anglais.

This is, he/she reverted your move because I'm a "vandal" and because I think that "The Italian language is forbbiden". This is untrue. My only reason was to put a similar name like it's original for harmonize with it.

If you can do something for restore the name of "Leo XIII (colourized).jpg" I'll appreciate it.

Thanks and sincerely, 79.151.31.9 12:10, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

sorry, mate! I don't touch this file anymore. I got berated from user:Billinghurst (see User_talk:Estopedist1#Harmonisation_renames) when I tried to rename this file to match File:Leo XIII..jpg (incidentally I removed also this full stop after the Roman numeral; maybe this removal was a mistake)--Estopedist1 (talk) 13:09, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I understand it and thanks anyway for your help. Yes, I just saw that you had already been reprimanded (I don't think it was just for delete the point, but that's the least of it).

Of course, I don't want to harm anyone else either, but I still appreciate your intentions. I think that, for the good of all, I'll leave the photograph alone too, although I confess that the harmonization of the name could facilitate its identification. Thanks again and see you in the future!

Sincerely, 79.151.31.9 17:00, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Not certain that I berated nor reprimanded, I tried to address the purpose of the harmonisation criteria. We need to be mindful and respectful of each uploaders' file naming, and only rename through necessity, not preference. This is especially the case for where uploads correspond with usage at one of the sister wikis, and renames generate changes. I am happy to be directed to a nicer words if you thought that the words that I used were out of order. I understand that it feels harsh to reject requests at times, though we have to come back to the point that we are given advanced tools to undertake the consensus of the community, and the policy and the context is that consensus. If they want something out of the scope, we ask people to get a consensus, not come asking personal favours on talk pages.  — billinghurst sDrewth 09:49, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Renaming to Blüemlisalp

Hello, I finally renamed the file you mentionned to File:The Blüemlisalp (3660m) from the Schilthorn (10955373025).jpg as it really show the Blüemlisalp and not the Tschingelhorn.

Order of language templates

Regarding your changes to templates on user pages: "en" should not be the first template. Felt importance is not a fitting argument to put english language first in a multi-language project. Also the exmaple in Template:Information tells us that we sort the languages alphabetically - as it is done almost everywhere where more than one language is used (this way everyone can easily spot the language he's looking for and he's used to this order). Wikidata is a little bit more tricky, as the order there is dependent (as far as I recall it) on your chosen language of the user interface, babels, and which one you chose in the past. Mirer (talk) 14:28, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

@Mirer: this should be discussed at Village Pump. By the way, Template:Information says nothing about alphabetical order. There is random order. But considering that over 90% users are looking English-description, then English should be always first--Estopedist1 (talk) 16:19, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi Estopedist1, changes of the language order as on other people's user pages are not ok: [7], [8]. As laid out in Commons:Language policy, Wikimedia Commons is a multilingual project where no language has a preference over other languages. The main exception for technical reasons are the category names. Please don't do this again. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 18:28, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

"Withdrawed own's judgments"? I don't understand what you are saying.--Judithcomm (talk) 18:52, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

see your last comment in this CFD: Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/06/Category:Asmahan (dancer). Your statements (4 December 2021) for rather supportive Estopedist1 (talk) 19:03, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

I meant to leave things as they were. I created the cat and wanted to keep it. See Category:Raqs Sharqi dancers by name for more examples of cats with just a few files. Some of them with and some of them without a Wikipedia article.--Judithcomm (talk) 21:02, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

@Judithcomm per Commons:Category_inclusion_criteria chapter "General criteria", if the person is not notable for any Wikipedia, not notable for Wikidata, and less than 10 files in Commons, we should delete all these categories Estopedist1 (talk) 05:45, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

I've been checking and many of them actually do have Wikipedia articles. I'll check some more. I'm still strugling with the "notable". Commons is riddled with images of unnamed people. They won't be deleted just for that reason will they? So why delete an image of a named artist because he/she is not "notable"?--Judithcomm (talk) 13:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
