"Categories" means what?

[edit]

What's the problem with putting dozens of categories on this, and all images, to the point of matching the internal [EXIF]/[IPTC] metadata? In other words,

  • category:ss
  • category:cartoon
  • category:ariel sharon
  • category:copyrighted free use
  • category:carlos latuff
  • category:caricature
  • category:nazi
  • category:jew

...and so on, until the human description of this image, and all images in commons, are completely, accurately, unambiguously, if not overwhelmingly classified. Otherwise, how's a search engine ever going to find all the stuff we out in here?

Sorry to hitchhike on your specific image to open this general discussion, but we gotta start somewhere, so why not on the most contentious (a silly word, really) images?

Thanks for your stimulating contributions. Peter Blaise Peterblaise 14:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
