are you adding non-existent categories to images? Please don't do that. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:11, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Either make the cat first, or do so immediately after tagging the images. Please don't leave them hanging with redlinked cats.

Also, please make your cats as tightly defined as possible. Since we already have an "Apartment buildings in Manhattan" category, I converted your new cat to "Full-block apartment buildings in Manhattan".

Finally, when there are multiple images in the same category -- such as in Category:The Belnord -- please add the category to that parent category, and not to each of the images in it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:03, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

[edit]
👁 Image

You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2015 Picture of the Year contest.

Dear CmdrDan,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2015 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the tenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2015) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1322 candidate images. There are 56 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category. In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 28 May 2016, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote »

Thanks,
-- Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee 09:43, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Eeo-118=NYC-2020-june-01.pdf and File:Eeo-119=NYC-2020-june-02.pdf. Yet where is the evidence that they are licensed under CC-Zero?

Files being used as galleries

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi. I think you made a mistake by turning File:CBS Broadcast Center-Historic Plaque-02-medium=PXL 20240222 174715846.RAW-01.COVER.jpg and several other files into user galleries. That's not really how either one works. User galleries are usually special pages under a sub-page of a users name, like User:Allen4names/Gallery. Not just a couple of images added to a file. Although you can create a mini-gallery using the "other versions" field in the file summary, but it doesn't involve a special subsection of the file or the "user gallery" template. You can just add "</gallery>" to the beginning with the file names as normal but in the "other versions" field of the summary or create a gallery under your user name. Thanks.

Problematic?

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I have seen the category Category:Problematic photos of plaques. You have also assigned one of my photos there. The category contains no explanation and is not linked anywhere. May I ask what the category is good for? What is problematic? From my point of view, it is an arbitrary and personal collection of pictures. Such a collection should rather be on a user page and not as a Commons category. But even then, the question of what is problematic remains. I am inclined to submit a deletion request for the category. XRay 💬 05:04, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello XRay,
I am in the early phase of a project about plaques.
I am assembling groups of images for this project and related presentations. Again, I am just beginning this process.
"Problematic" as I am using it here is a very general characterization that includes all manner of "problems" relating to readability/legibility including, but not limited toː
  • focus
  • exposure
  • framing
  • "glare," erosion, corrosion, or other factor(s) affecting text
  • design features/flaws, viz., "Highly reflective plaques"
You're right.
I need to move my project work to my user pages.
I need to learn how to use HotCat and Cat-a-lot with User categories.
Regarding your image, the problem (from my point of view, is the off center framing and the difficulty reading the text on smaller plaque. I mean no harm nor judgement.
That said, I am impressed with your categorization and the extensive information and documentation you have added to your work.
--CmdrDan (talk) 19:13, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
So the category should be deleted. Try to use user pages. --XRay 💬 19:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Do not add red links

Please do not add red links to files. If you add a red link, please create the category too. In this case High quality photos of plaques: The images are not high quality images and not quality images. Please nominate the images first at COM:QIC. Then they may be quality images. --XRay 💬 17:16, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Highly reflectivs plaques

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago4 comments3 people in discussion

Sorry, but what are Highly reflective plaques. I can't find links and explanations. Do you mean Reflections in glass? --XRay 💬 17:47, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

"Highly reflective" is referring to the design or construction of the plaque; different from Category:Reflections_in_glass. Closer to Category:Reflected photographers in plaques, but, again, that's the result while "Highly reflective plaques" is the cause. That's my current thinking.
Thank you for asking--thank you showing me and helping me discover these categories,
--CmdrDan (talk) 19:25, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
A category should always be assigned to at least one other category. It should also adhere to standard schemes. In this case, the glass in front of the plaque is reflective. Please read COM:CAT. --XRay 💬 19:39, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
@CmdrDan: if I'm reading your comment correctly it seems like your trying to combine two different subjects here, the construction of the plaque and a tangential quality of the plaque (I.E. being reflective). Although I agree with XRay that your wrong on that because the glass in front of the plaque is what's actually creating the reflection but lets say it wasn't for a moment. Commons:Categories is pretty clear that "We should not classify items which are related to different subjects in the same category. There should be one category per topic; multi-subject categories should be avoided. The category name should be unambiguous and not homonymous." That's something you should always keep in mind when creating categories. They generally shouldn't be a combination of different subjects, ideas, physical properties of something, Etc. Etc. It's better in those cases to just create two different categories and put the file in both. Although it's totally pointless in this case, since again, the glass is what's reflective here. Not the actual plaque. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:41, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

User categories

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Please read Commons:User-specific galleries, templates and categories: Categories shouldn't be created to collect files based on a user's personal opinion (e.g. User:Example's favourite pictures); user galleries may be used for such purposes instead as described above. I think that this is relevant for your user project Category:Plaques project: relevant categories. Thank you. --XRay 💬 19:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi, CmdrDan. This category name seems to be misspelled. Should it perhaps be "Black and white photographs of men wearing three piece suits in the United States Capitol Complex" (with "United States" spelled out and "complex" instead of "comples")? Since it's still empty, you could create a new category with the correct spelling, or you could move the category (or have someone move it for you if you aren't able to do moves). I'd be glad to move it for you if you decide to do that -- just let me know. -- Auntof6 (talk) 16:54, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

... as you did with https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:1974_Citroen_2CV_rear_view.jpg&curid=2426590&diff=922041643&oldid=865458446. I'll build the category, since the move otherwise makes sense, but this should be part of what you do in making such a move. Otherwise, people can no longer find the image through that part of the category tree. - Jmabel ! talk 07:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

A building request

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hey, I've been wanting a photo of a Manhattan building, and I posted a request on Commons:File requests. But I've since realized that the page likely doesn't get much attention from photographers, so I took matters into my own hands - I managed to find you through 'Wikipedians in Manhattan' and you've taken many local photos. So I would like to humbly ask if you are able to fulfill the request, which is 286 Madison Ave in Midtown. (If you can't, that's OK!) Sceeegt (talk) 19:00, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
