Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Red Winged Duck!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Диакритические знаки в названиях категорий

Я ничего не имею против вас лично, но хочу понять, зачем вы переименовываете категории, названные с помощью обычных букв английского алфавита, на названия, содержащие в себе буквы с диакритическими знаками. На мой взгляд, это не просто затрудняет поиск нужных категорий во всех существующих поисковиках, но делает его просто невозможным. Ведь абсолютное большинство юзеров вообще не пользуется диакритическими знаками. На мой взгляд, вы делаете недоступными все эти категории, которые в противном случае были бы использованы тысячами пользователей.

Добры дзень. Гэта ўсё робіцца ня проста так, а ў адпаведнасьці з інструкцыяй, якая прынятая на афіцыйным узроўні і ўхваленая ААН. Назвы, напісаныя ў адпаведнасьці з гэтай інструкцыяй шырока ўжываюцца на таблічках, мапах і схемах: 1, 2, 3 і г. д. Мэтай зьяўляецца ўніфікацыя ўсіх геаграфічных назваў, каб не было так, што кожны піша як хоча нейкай сваёй сыстэмай. Галоўным плюсам гэтай вэрсіі зьяўляецца абарачальнасьць, гэта значыць, што кожную назву можна далітарна адназначна аднавіць з лацінкавага выгляду ў кірылічны варыянт і наадварот. Што тычыцца пошуку, то ўсе сучасныя пошукавыя сыстэмы лёгка спраўляюцца з гэтай праблемай, бо шукаюць як з дыякрытыкай, так і безь яе, да таго ж, ніхто не выдаляе перанакіраваньні з ранейшых назваў старонак, што таксама толькі спрыяе пошуку. --Red Winged Duck (talk) 10:47, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

И при чём здесь ООН? На commons.wikimedia.org всё подчиняется правилам проекта, а не решениям ООН или инструкциям какого-либо государства. Пока я вижу массовые неконсенсусные правки. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 22:53, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Please, see the discussion. There was no sound arguments for obsolete transliteration. Moreover, there is a consensus between users of both Belarusian projects. None of the categories named according to current official transliteration have been renamed so far. --Kazimier Lachnovič (talk) 13:46, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

You need not just to find consensus between five actuive users on Belarussian Wikipedias, but a wide consensus of the Commons community, and you guys are not even close.--Ymblanter (talk) 14:03, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

I am rolling everything back. Please next time discuss before moving.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:38, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Homieĺ

Commons:Naming categories:

• Category names should generally be in English (see Commons:Language policy).
• Place names widespread in English form are used so (usually countries, capitals, continents, oceans and seas, biggest mountains and mountain ranges and other most known places). Place names of local relevancy (smaller cities, towns, villages, streets, squares, natural features) are generally not translated.
• Generally, if the English form of the name is commonly used in English-language texts as stand-alone (not together with the local name as its explanation) and is usually used in English-language maps, it should be used also as the category name.

So you have provide Gomel/Homieĺ is a smaller city with local relevancy and it has no widespread English name.

Google Books finds 3 books in English with 'Homieĺ' and 169,000 English books with 'Gomel'. Bogomolov.PL (talk) 18:31, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

I blocked the user for a day, since they were previously warned.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:05, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

@Bogomolov.PL and Ymblanter: Red Winged Duck has proceeded with renaming into "Homieĺ": Category:Nature of Homieĺ, Category:Evening in Homieĺ, Category:Culture of Homieĺ.. .--دونالد ترامب (talk) 17:49, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

No, these moves were before the warning in december.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:16, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
