Hello and thank you for your OTRS assistance with images File:ILR NYC Extension.JPG, File:Dave Price ILR.JPG, and File:ILRschools6.jpg. I contacted the copyright holder again, who just submitted a more explicity free-use release to OTRS. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. —Eustress ^talk 15:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

If the more explicit release was sent under the same ticket number then it'll be routed to me and I'll deal with it soon. Otherwise, it goes to the end of the queue, which is currently 12 days long. Stifle (talk) 17:32, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Cornell building categories edit

Latest comment: 13 years ago7 comments2 people in discussion

Hi- I was wondering why you've deleted several of the Cornell building-related categories I created. As far as I can tell, you never articulated a rationale for the changes anywhere, and in certain cases, I'm fairly sure your edits were against Commons policy for categories. I'd appreciate it if we could talk about this before you continue. —Notyourbroom (talk) 00:14, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Fair enough -- there might even be a better way to go about what I'm trying to accomplish. While the creation of building-specific categories was well-intentioned, it really hides a lot of good pictures that no one ever sees when browsing for pics of Cornell. A lot of the building-specific cats only house 1 or 2 pics--some 0. I'd like to pull them all into a more omnibus cat (CU buildings) so they can be seen and used more. For those buildings with a lot of pics (perhaps 7 or more), I wouldn't be opposed to keeping separate subcats for them. —Eustress ^talk 00:17, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'm struggling to track this down now, but I recall reading a guideline that suggested that if at least two photographs exist of a particular unique subject, they ought to be consolidated into a category. (Perhaps this was later deleted, as I am having difficulty searching for it.) It is true that I had some categories which featured only one image, but that was with the intention of preemptively avoiding cluttering of the root "Cornell University buildings" category. As for that, I suppose we just differ in philosophy here- I am personally more inclined to have specific, streamlined categories for taxonomic purposes rather than omnibus categories for browsing purposes. Specifically, although many of the images have names in a standardized format (because I created and uploaded them), this is not an assumption we can make for the future: a category with dozens of images could easily have images of a given building scattered in multiple locations due to alphabetic sorting, making comparison difficult. —Notyourbroom (talk) 00:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Another note... If a building is on the NRHP, then I gave it its own category no matter what due to notability considerations. I think that this did include one case in which there was no actual photograph on commons for the building, but my memory is a bit rusty. —Notyourbroom (talk) 00:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I understand your logic and hope there is someway to accommodate both of our objectives. The best option I could think of was the omnibus cat because if, for example, someone is looking for a pic of Caldwell Hall, they can just conduct a Commons search (see here). I feel the building-specific cats are in most cases too narrow. Regarding NRHP, I'm not sure "honoring" them with a Cornell cat for being NRHP is appropriate--they receive an NRHP for that recognition.

In summary, my opinion is that visibility in this case trumps taxonomy. —Eustress ^talk 00:44, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I'll defer to your judgement for now—perhaps this will be worth revisiting in the future if the category becomes unsustainably large. —Notyourbroom (talk) 01:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks... let's give it a try! —Eustress ^talk 02:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
