Unnecessary transfer from Flickr

Hello. There is no reason to transfer my pictures from Flickr like this one. I've provided my picture here already (see: Ko Lanta - Masjid Jannatul Hasanah - 0002.jpg). Please check it before transferring from Flickr. -- DerFussi 06:27, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi User Der, I don't know how, but from now i will check by the name. --N. Wadid (talk) 07:51, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Photographs categories

Hello, N. Wadid. You might notice that I changed the way you had set up some photographs categories and "photographed in <year>" categories, including changing various templates that define them. For example, I changed Template:Uzbekistanmosquephotoyear to assign category "<Year> in Uzbekistan" instead of "<Year> photographs of Uzbekistan". Most categories that have the word "photographs" in their name are used only for very specific kinds of things, not for general photographs or "photographed in" categories. Those specific things include aerial photographs, black and white photographs, and other things that group photographs by that kind of characteristic. That can be a little confusing, but the {{Photos}} template on these categories explains it.

After making the kind of change I just described, that emptied some higher-level categories, which I will be asking to have deleted. That will empty a few more, which I will also ask to have deleted, and so on until I get to categories that aren't empty.

It might help to think of it this way: the vast majority of files here are photographs. Because of that, it's kind of assumed that a file is a photograph unless it's categorized as something else. That means that relatively few things need to be in photographs categories.

I hope I've explained this well enough. If not, or if you have any questions, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:59, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Auntof6. Thanks for helping me for templates, but i think it's better we make subcategories of a country by year less crowded by making more categories . I removed "buildings in <Countryname> photographed in <Year>" as unnecessary subcategory, but kept "<Year> photographs of <Countryname>" like this one. But you removed this too, while i think it's not interesting we open "<Year> in Belgium" and see mosques and churches in subcategories (they are under "<Year> in religion in <Countryname>" too). The main category for this template is "<Year> in <Countryname>", must be less crowded. Imagine if i keep categorizing and make more, like "Libraries/Cafes/Restaurants etc in Belgium photographed in 2018". the main cat will became with more 100 subcat. So keep them under <Year> photographs of <Countryname>.

About "photographs", this is based on the category name:Mosques in <Countryname> photographed in <Year>", should be not changed and kept categorized under "<Year> photographs of <Countryname>". but i have another idea, I gonna do something about this and inform you. --N. Wadid (talk) 00:27, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

how about if i make "Template:Mosqueyear" for all kinds of images of mosques, (Photographs, drawings, paintings etc)? this can be used for before 1850s images of mosques and after 1850s as subcategory for "<Mosques photographed in <Year>". --N. Wadid (talk) 00:38, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) I look forward to seeing what you do, but I don't think we need "<Year> photographs of <Countryname>". I'm actually planning to ask for those to be deleted, because "<year> in <country>" is all that's needed there. Remember that very little goes in the actual photographs categories. What do you think would belong there? "Mosques in <Countryname> photographed in <Year>" would go under "<year> in <country>", not "<Year> photographs of <Countryname>". The term "photographed in <year>" does not mean the category should go in a "photographs" category. I know this doesn't seem logical, but remember that we assume that files are photographs unless they're categorized otherwise. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:46, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

ok, just don't make "<year> in <country>" crowded. every photographed thing can be categorized under a subcategory of "<year> in <country>", like Libraries under education (<year> in education in <country>), mosques under religion, etc. --N. Wadid (talk) 01:24, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Agreed. I didn't necessarily mean directly under that category. Things could be in subcategories. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:12, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

We are discussing the issue at Commons:Village pump#Overdiffused categories, the consensus is so far that this categorization is not really the best practice.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Ymblanter and thanks for informing me, But i have nothing to say there. I don't see anything wrong of making subcats by year for crowded cats. (about Chor Minor Mosque-Madrasa, I guessed i will found more pics if i keep searching more, A historical landmark supposed to be photographed in last decade more than 50 times. Anyway currently cats seems ok.) I do this by-year categorizing only for notable mosques and why it's not helpful? Yea, I agree if you only see by year and decade, They need more cats based on architecture elements, But i am focused on year. This is updating categories, and its helpful for both Commons as "Free media repository" and other projects like Wikipedia, Wikinews, Wikivoyage and even Wikiquote. --N. Wadid (talk) 19:06, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

No, I believe it is absolutely not ok, because now, if I want to choose a photo of Chor Minor to illustrate a Wikipedia or a Wikivoyage article, I need to browse dozens of categories. May I please suggest that we continue at the Village pump.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:10, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

@Ymblanter: I clearly said about my style of categorizing. Auntof6, What is your view ? Should i have leave making by year categorizing ? Why its not helpful, i just need to check the probabilities, It's helpful or will helpful for :

in Wikipedia, for period time related articles. Like for "<year> in <a country>", or for specific-Islamic related articles in this case.

in Wikinews, for exactly and better picture related to news.

in Wikivoyage, for more updated pictures and make a better view on history of a tourist attraction.

in Wikiquote, for year-related quotes. (You can't put a 80s portrait of Trump for his 2018 sayings).

So, i see its totally helpful and nothing wrong. It's only not helpful if you ONLY see by year or deace cats, you can make more related cats, like exterior, interior, in night, in daylight, etc. User Auntof6, I need your view. --N. Wadid (talk) 19:27, 24 July 2018 (UTC)--N. Wadid (talk) 19:27, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

I think I've given my opinion here and at Commons:Village pump#Overdiffused categories, but I'll say it again: I don't think we need year categories for this mosque. There are not enough files here to categorize by year. Categorizing by year is sometimes good, if either there is a large number of files or the subject changes significantly in most years, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:58, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Just look at this new topic Commons:Village pump#Is there a way to (easily) search for photos on Wikimedia?, this By-time cats makes people find easier. Flickr and other similar websites have this time-based option. Why not Commons? Time is not recognized here? --N. Wadid (talk) 19:31, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

I am not going to discuss it here any further. Please move to VP.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:32, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

I'm fine, and waiting for Auntof6.--N. Wadid (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2018 (UTC)-

•  Comment It seems that despite what was being said in Commons:Village_pump#Overdiffused_categories, you continue to move images from a main category to a category by year, removing from the main category, contrary to what others are saying, like what your doing in Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Jerusalem). Do you expect people to find images by year, instead of images by location, like inside and outside? Add categories by year, but dont remove images from the main category. Tm (talk) 05:29, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Hey Tm. after we categorize them by year, we can add more cats. but now, more than 600 pics in that cat. Do you expect me just stop and one by one add cats? Just after making by year, i can add more cats like interiors and exteriors, but now just confuse me. I know what people advised me, but but but just wait and let me done it. --N. Wadid (talk) 05:34, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

No, read Commons:Village_pump#Overdiffused_categories, and see what should be done. Don´t remove images from the main category and hide them in an category by year, as you never move any image besides to categories by year. Tm (talk) 05:36, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Tm i don't wanna hide them under year. this is FIRST WAY, this is FIRST STEP. How you clean up a messed house after a big party? See, this is so simple, we put pics under by-year, then we can add more cats by cat-a-lot so better. that's all, but you people are very rushing. --N. Wadid (talk) 05:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
