About the renaming of File:Lagoa Rasa.jpg

You would like to rename File:Lagoa Rasa.jpg to “File:Lagoa de Santiago (Sete Cidades).jpg” to correct obvious errors in filenames, including misspelled proper nouns, incorrect dates, and misidentified objects or organisms. But I do not see such error. The photo depicts Lagoa Rasa (the crater) in the foreground, with Lagoa de Santiago only in the background. So you should propose a better name, with Lagoa Rasa in the file name (and preferably "2011" in it as well, which I forgot), or leave it the way it is. JopkeB (talk) 15:14, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

It seems to me that this is Lago de Santiago. There is a road going around it. Lagoa Rasa doesn't have a road around. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/37.84748/-25.77556 Cryptic-waveform (talk) 15:15, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

See File:Lagoa Rasa (Sete Cidades) 2.jpg for example. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 15:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

And in the background is obviously Lagoa das Sete Cidades with the freguesia of Sete Cidades on its shore. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 15:19, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I think you are right and that the name is not correct. It is indeed Lagoa de Santiago and Lago Verde (according to Google Maps) in the background. Thanks for pointing it out to me.

 Question So can the name be "Lagoa de Santiago and Lago Verde 2011"? I can change the name myself. After that I'll change the description and perhaps the categories. But first let me know what would be correct. JopkeB (talk) 16:15, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

@JopkeB: I think it's Lagoa Azul (the northern part of Lagoa das Sete Cidades) rather than Lagoa Verde. Other than that, your plan sounds fine. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 16:22, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts and actions for this file, they are really improvements. JopkeB (talk) 04:39, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Sutton

There is an error in one of your edits on Sutton, Dublin which you have moved to Sutton, Fingal. Fingal is an administrative area rather than a geographic one used as a name of a council district so no one would ever refer to where they are from as Sutton, Fingal.Financefactz (talk) 10:04, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. This sounds to me like an opinion rather than a fact. Fingal is a county and Sutton is in it. So the category name "Sutton, Fingal" is not wrong, it is an accurate description of where the town is located. Category:Sutton, Dublin still exists so the right category can still be easily found. If you think that we should not be categorizing in Category:Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, Category:Fingal and Category:South Dublin, I encourage you to open a COM:CFD to discuss this issue. Cheers.

Category:Underwater photographs in Egypt

Hello, you have removed hundreds of images uploaded by me from the like in this case. Can you please elaborate your motivation? It lookes randomed and wrong. Thank you. Poco a poco (talk) 19:25, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Hey. Sure thing. The images are already categorized in Category:Underwater photographs in Ras Muhammad, which itself is now categorized in Category:Underwater photographs in Egypt. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 19:42, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Ah, ok, thank you, I missed that. Poco a poco (talk) 19:58, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
