Name change?

[edit]

This was originally called "Boy with water gun" when uploaded by Two Wings. It was renamed by Russavia to "Girl with water gun". It currently appears in both Category:Topless girls and Category:Topless boys. I think it is clear that the child is a boy, but if there is some doubt about the child's gender, can we rename it to "Child with water gun"?

On the deletion request talk page, Fae pointed out that the water gun holding child is a girl and the other child is a boy. --Mjrmtg (talk) 00:22, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Can you give me a link? I don't see that. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 00:37, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you confusing Russavia with Fæ, because I see no comment from Fæ at that link. Regardless, there is obviously disagreement about the gender of that child, so I suggest a rename to avoid confusion. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 00:59, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I was confusing them, she has been a part of many discussions about one of those children - sorry for confusing them. --Mjrmtg (talk) 01:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The photographer confirmed that both subjects are boys. Brianjd (talk) 13:15, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

‘Morgan’ and ‘Quinn’

[edit]

@Shāntián Tàiláng: Why did you add this file to the categories Morgan (given name) and Quinn (given name)? The only relevant information I could find was this list of keywords in the EXIF data (which match the tags on the Flickr copy):

  • Morgan
  • Quinn
  • cohousing
  • swimming pool

I expect that most people won’t look there, and will think that you just made up those names.

I am not sure that these categories are useful, but if they are, there should be an explanation in the description. Brianjd (talk) 13:21, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those are the names of the two pictured boys, as I found out on Flickr. (I don't recall the exact way, but I believe it had to do with either albums or adjacent photos in the Flickr user's photostream.) Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 18:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shāntián Tàiláng Even so, I am not sure that these categories are useful. Do you think they are? Brianjd (talk) 14:51, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. Look at some of the images in Category:Atkins (surname), for instance. Shāntián Tàiláng (talk) 22:17, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shāntián Tàiláng Perhaps you are right. I don’t see any explicit indication that these are the boys’ names, but that is the obvious inference from many of the titles, especially those in the album Maine with Rachel, 2010 (where many of the photos are named after people). So all that is left is to update the file description. Brianjd (talk) 12:00, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We have running start and they said he was fast, which focus on Quinn, so it seems that Morgan was the one holding the water gun in this image. Brianjd (talk) 12:05, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
