Discussion

• Please use language or {{Creator}}-based template for author field. Is there good reason to not use categories on English? --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:55, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

  OK I will. I use categories in English for place names (e.g., [1]). For book names seldom seen in English literature I use the original form because "Proper nouns which do not have an established English variant are not translated ad hoc but use the original form." See Commons:Categories#Category names.--Upload for Freedom (talk) 23:57, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

• Is there anything else I need to do? --Upload for Freedom (talk) 01:42, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
