Hey, I love your images and am categorizing them by location! Many of the descriptions already point me towards certain places, like Tibung, Tamale, Kumbungu, Saboba, Funsi, etc.
However, many images are just tagged as "...in a village of Northern Region", which is a huge area! Could you please check the images of Category:Northern Region (Ghana) and see if you remember which place that was? I just created a few more categories for some towns/villages and invite you to create more under here. --Enyavar (talk) 15:27, 7 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Enyavar Thank you for the alert. Please kindly help create categories for the 16 districts in Northern Region which can be see from the following results from the link Dnshitobu (talk) 16:35, 7 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Enyavar Again, please if there is a tool for mass creation of categories, kindly create for all the Communities in the queries. I have really wanted to create them but I don't know how, so I will appreciate it if you could help Dnshitobu (talk) 16:38, 7 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
One can mass-create categories of course, but there are patrollers who delete empty categories, so it seems best to only create them when you need them - once I find a dozen images of the same village, I search for a category for them, and when I don't find any I create it. I often do so by putting my wanted category in the image (red link), then create it with a few parent categories I copy from similar subjects, and then add the category to all images that need to be in there. Many categories follow different structures, so for new district-categories I'd just go with this example but for a new village-category I'd go with a very basic example like this one. I rely on others who later provide coordinates and description texts like here. Whatever you decide, keep doing the good work :-) --Enyavar (talk) 11:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, you also uploaded several maps. The ones that are screenshots from the proprietary GoogleMaps service are certain copyright violations (Google owns the aerial/satellite images, so it's not under a free license). So I filed for the deletion of these three maps. I think that the ones that come from the Ghanaian GIS service are okay and have nothing to do with Google, and I created some more categories for the districts, and for Maps of the Northern Region. --Enyavar (talk) 13:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:KNUST hub Library Wikibase Training 11.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

(See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion.
