Re: Prints

[edit]

Hello,

There are different words in French too; but gravure/engraving seems to be the general term, which can be convenient in all cases. My knowledge about these techniques is very limited though, and I will try to be more accurate in the future. Thank you for correcting me if I am wrong. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 18:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can ask me on English wiki (same username) if you are not sure - I can probably tell by looking in books. Johnbod 18:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The French for "etching" is "eau-forte". "Gravure" is the term usually used for copper-engraving, whilst "Gravure sur bois" is a woodcut. Yellow Lion 20:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

True, but they seem to use "gravure" loosely for woodcuts too, & sometimes etchings & other sorts as well, Johnbod 21:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record, and since there has been more discussion on the subject (below), the French term for a print is "Estampe". This covers all sorts, from woodcuts to lithos, and is the exact equivalent of our English "print". Nick Michael 09:53, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi John: I have now put nearly all my prints on Commons. There are a few that are so badly photographed (the scanned ones are fine of course) that I'll really have to redo them. Next project is to put a bio of Dan Hopfer on Wikipedia...

I've learned a huge amount by doing this - with a lot of help from other users, and copying other people's pages like mad!

All the best

Nick Yellow Lion 21:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nick - that's great! I've had a quick look over, but will give them a proper look later. And your photo too! I think you should have first go at putting them on the articles.

By the way, I just expanded a bit a "Gallery" at an article for the first time today - a very straightforward format, I found to my surprise. See Georges de la Tour - won't link from here Cheers Johnbod 03:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow! You've worked really hard on De la Tour. Superb pics - I never know how large a file I can upload - I have usually kept them under 2.5 Mb. Perhaps I can upload bigger....
Incidentally, I've changed my username to my real one as you might be able to see (no, it doesn't seem to have worked very well...) - really no need for a pseudonym here - I don't think people will search me out to slit my throat because I disputed their categorising... Mind you, there's a few throats I wouldn't mind slitting ;-)
84.226.54.33 21:50, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - the pics were all there, or rather here. I'm poking around in a lot of dark paintings, having voted against merging Tenebrism & Chiaroscuro I now feel obliged to get a better description up of the difference ... if any. I'd done Jusepe de Ribera & adam Elsheimer a while ago. So very dark paintings seem to be becoming my new speciality, along with prints.

Actually I just did my first uploads - just 2 crops from an existing pic for Sir John Donne - just about good enough.

J Johnbod 22:04, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

John, a question: I added some comments to the Bastard, drawing attention to certain details of his costume and accessories. Is this in keeping with Commons' practice? One could add vast amounts of notes to any historic costume pic, but is this within the spirit of Commons? I would have thought it very helpful, but others may think otherwise. Your opinion would be highly valued: thanks Nick
Absolutely it's fine - some people give or copy excellent comments (I include all the Bassenge description now i'm doing some of theirs) but as you've probably seen often you're lucky to get a title/location etc - or the info is just wrong.

Just added the HSB Little Fool to Old Master Print, which I've rather run out of puff on just at the moment! I think I prefer the Memling to the R van W now - it's amazing how often Vienna ends up with the top stuff. I was looking at an atlas for our holiday (sth of Bordeaux) & now know where you live (as they say). I must have been through it on trains & cars but long ago. Do you have snow? Here half the flowers are in bloom - some still going from last year, some coming on for Spring. Johnbod 22:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No snow here: unprecedentedly warm- the skiers are desperate. But things will apparently change tomorrow. The OMP article is absolutely splendid now - you can't do better than that for an encyclopaedic article. When's the book coming out?! Thanks for your comments re comments. I regard this as licence to paste stuff everywhere ;-). Nick

Hi, i did the uploads you asked for, see Image:Gärtnerin mit Korb (Belange).jpg, Image:Die Auferweckung das Lazarus (Castiglione).jpg, Image:Moses (Matham).jpg, Image:Herkules und Antäus (Mantegna).jpg. Hope i took the right ones. -- Cherubino 11:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Those are brilliant - thanks Johnbod 20:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have put them all up - started Bellange stub specially. Amazingly some on else loaded an even better Mantegna on 17/12, so yours went to Old master print. Thanks again! Johnbod 21:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Gloeden in The studio - June 1893 - p. 105.jpg

[edit]

An engraving it is, it is signed by the engraver, and it is clearly stated that this is an engraving taken AFTER a picture by von Gloeden. So please don't cancel the category. Thank you. --G.dallorto 01:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i'm sorry, even with this low resolution image it is easy to see it is NOT an engraving. "incisione" is used in Italian to cover wood-engravings (a different thing) and, loosely and not very correctly, all kinds of prints. I am fairly certain a photomechanical etching process was used. If it was a true engraving it would consist entirely of lines, that would be visible.

Even if it were a reproduction by means of engraving, I don't think it should be classed as an engraving itself. Would you categorise a photo of a painting as a photo?

See discussion above this - You get this all the time with translations - "gravure" in French etc. Regards Johnbod 03:35, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Johnbod!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

commons categories (copied over)

[edit]

hi1 Who do you have to sleep with to rename a Commons category, and why is it impossible to discover this information by navigating from the Community portal? Johnbod (talk) 01:25, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! See COM:CFD... not sure who you have to sleep with, though. Where do you think this should be linked from? Does the Comm Portal need better links? Did you check COM:VP? Should it be linked from there? Meta has a list of common places you might want to go that is embedded in a lot of those places so once you find one you can find a lot of the other ones. ++Lar: t/c 01:49, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Cameo prince Louvre MR54.jpg

[edit]

Hi! I removed your comment ("Dubious, surely earlier or later?") from the description page of this picture, because the data is actually sourced from the museum itself (see http://cartelfr.louvre.fr/cartelfr/visite?srv=car_not_frame&idNotice=5285, in French). There was a revival of the cameo technique in the Middle Ages and some of them look very much like Greek and Roman ones. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 12:13, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Humph! Excuse me if I'm unconvinced. This is clearly Gothic & I don't believe such a convincing classical gem could have been created at this date, certainly not in France. Gem dating is often controversial. But if the museum dates it then,it should be left. Johnbod (talk) 15:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Three faces on one head

[edit]

Not all are depictions of the Christian Trinity; File:Dante_f48r.jpg is demonic, and File:CdM, pisanello, medaglia di leonello d'este 1441-1443 verso.jpg and File:Baphomet.Tomar.jpg are very doutbtful. The 'Flag of Aztlan" may be based on old Trinity depictions, but I don't know whether that's still the intent. AnonMoos (talk) 03:36, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course - I removed Bahomet from the holy Trinity cat, where I found it. Did you see the new Category:Holy Trinity as three figures I have started? Johnbod (talk) 11:49, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Isra and Mi'raj and Category:Angels in Islam

[edit]

Hi! I noticed you added Category:Angels in Islam to a lot of files in Category:Isra and Mi'raj. (I have the files on my watchlist because they're a frequent target of license blanking and other vandalism.) Since you already added Category:Isra and Mi'raj to Category:Angels in Islam, these files are now over-categorised, which is generally not a good thing. Was this intentional, or are you planning additional changes to eliminate the over-categorisation? —LX (talk, contribs) 15:32, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I originally did it as a temporary thing to help a cat-a-lot transfer, but then realized I had moved all the files, as all had angels, & decided to leave it. I don't really think it is overcategorization here, but if you feel strongly, remove it. None of the category are yet crowded. Johnbod (talk) 15:38, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Over-categorisation does not mean the categories are overcrowded, but rather that a file or category is inserted at several levels of the same category branch. For example, all photos of Category:Flags of France is a descendant of Category:France (via Category:Symbols of France), so if a file appears in both Category:Flags of France and Category:France, it is over-categorised; it should only be in the more specific category. Similarly, files that are in Category:Angels in Islam and Category:Isra and Mi'raj are over-categorised as long as Category:Isra and Mi'raj is a subcategory of Category:Angels in Islam – by definition rather than as a matter of opinion. I'm not intimately familiar with the subject at hand, but I would think that illustrations of Isra and Mi'raj would not necessarily involve angels (even if all currently hosted files do). If that's the case, the easiest way to remove the over-categorisation would be to edit Category:Isra and Mi'raj so that Category:Angels in Islam is no longer a parent category. —LX (talk, contribs) 16:51, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps better to add a category rather than change the category.

[edit]

I could understand adding a category, but do not understand changing the category [2] as you did, from 'Islamic Art' to 'Islamic Culture.'

My understanding is that Commons categories are regarded as primarily a search convince for people who are searching for images to fill their needs. If that is correct, removing a category might not be helpful. If I am wrong about that, and I might well be wrong, I would appreciate an explanation. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 11:39, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously "Islamic art" is a head category, with ultimately a few hundred sub-categories, and several thousand images. If all these were also in the head category, it would be ridiculously overloaded. Categories should normally be added only at the most appropriate sub-category levels. The policy is here. Clearing out head categories is useful and necessary maintenance work. In this example Category:Plaster carvings in Islamic cultures, though oddly named like so many Commons categories, is naturally a sub-cat of the "Islamic art" category, so my edit was correct. Placing the image in the appropriate sub-cat in fact means it is much more likely to be seen by those looking for this sort of thing. Johnbod (talk) 14:34, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea why there is a category called 'Plaster carvings in Islamic cultures'. I created the gallery with that name [3], and put it into the category 'Islamic art', at least that is my recollection. User:Foroa seems to have changed the category without my noticing. I hesitate to change that back right now because I have been in enough arguments with Commons administrators already.
As for the change you made to the category, it was my intention to ask for an explanation. I was not arguing, but asking; and if you think the change of category is really for the better, I can go along with that. You have more experience with, and knowledge of, categories than I do. Malcolm Schosha (talk) 11:54, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't think otherwise. The gallery is still there, and now there is a category, it should be in that. I suppose it could be re-added to "Islamic art" as well. But generally it is certainly better to keep things at the appropriate loqwest level. That way they are in the "plaster" tree as well, etc. Johnbod (talk) 13:41, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Illuminated manuscripts in the British Library

[edit]

Not really sure how "illuminated" Harleian ms. 6163 and ms. 2169 were -- they mainly contained "tricked" illustrations of coats of arms (without coloring). AnonMoos (talk) 14:25, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By convention anything with drawings - scientific diagrams for example - tends to be counted as illuminated. There isn't really a concept of "illustrated" manuscripts in english, though I think there may be in German. Islamic manuscripts are an exceptuion.

Category:Interlace in art

[edit]

I really don't know what the difference is between Category:Interlace in art and Category:Knots in art and decoration (which was established six years earlier)... AnonMoos (talk) 06:16, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No courtesy of a reply, so merged the two categories after a week and a half. AnonMoos (talk) 01:19, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't see it, rude boy. That was an unfortunate merge, which will have to be sorted out. Johnbod (talk) 01:24, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever -- a notice about the matter was placed on your user talk page in plenty of time. If you didn't read your own user talk page, that's really not my fault... AnonMoos (talk) 06:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Notice that you've been been busy as a beaver editing, but you still haven't bothered to answer my April question. This is not one of your more endearing characteristics. AnonMoos (talk) 09:20, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Look, we don't like each other, let's leave it at that. The term interlace, which is extremely widely used, has a lot of overlap with knotwork, but the latter is mainly used in context from the Renaissance onwards, while interlace is used for medieval and classical uses. I'm certainly not going to try to define a difference, but interlace tends to be continuous with repetition, and may extend over a wider area than knotwork, and usually lacks a central point. Most interlace contains no actual knots at all. Category:Knots in art and decoration is the wrong title for either of them, & should be restricted (as was probably the original intention) to things that actually are knots rather than things that look as if they might be. Johnbod (talk) 21:31, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was the one who originally created Category:Knots in art and decoration , and I can tell you that I had no such intention. AnonMoos (talk) 11:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I believe you, but as I say that should be a sub-cat of interlace/knotwork, for things that represent actual knots. Johnbod (talk) 13:05, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Names of uploaded files

[edit]

Why are you giving them names like that? -- AnonMoos (talk) 01:19, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To get them through the ridiculous upload tool filter. I go round adding both a photo of the the museum label AND a link & copy of the metadata but you can't do that while uploading. Really this must be sorted out. Perhaps I'm wrong to blamwe the Dutch, & think they are all called Maarten. Johnbod (talk) 01:22, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever the problem is, adding profanities and random chat room type tirades into the filenames really doesn't help anything. AnonMoos (talk) 06:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously how long do we have to go around fixing your errors? The reason it was doing that is because you're leaving the DSCFxxxx prefix on it, which adds nothing to the file name. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 14:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This shows your lack of understanding, and is typical of the lack of intelligence going into the upload process, which gets worse and worse. The prefix is necessary for me to reference the original photo on my machine, so that I can match it with the museum labels I also shoot, and in case for example I later want to edit the original again to upload a detail. The idea that adding a "descriptive" title like "Olmec mask" is in any way useful to anyone is nonsense. The information you can get into a title is too little to be of any real use, as millions of Commons photos amply demonstrate. Also it cannot be changed when it is wrong, as it very often is, and cannot be translated. As someone who actually uses photos in articles, I know that descriptive titles have no value whatsoever. With over 12 million photos there aren't enough descriptive titles to go round anyway. The obession with "descriptive" titles has taken the tool down the wrong road, and represents one of the many small stupidities that now make it almost unusable. I now have a couple of hundred potentially very useful photos I can't face uploading, and that's from a very experienced Wikimedian. God knows what newcomers think.

WLM organization in the UK

[edit]

Thanks for indicating your interest in this. I'd like to get some proper teams in place now, so we can decide who will be doing what, and I wonder if you could go to Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in the United Kingdom/People and move your signature to the correct heading? Many thanks, --MichaelMaggs (talk) 14:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I rather think it is in the correct place now; I've always been cagey about getting very involved in this, & have only been so previously in the absence of anyone else coming forward. Also I'm not really a photographer, certainly not of buildings. Johnbod (talk) 16:57, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copper engravings vs. engravings

[edit]

Hi Johnbod; I noticed that you added a note "Don't use this category. Use Category:Engravings instead" to Category:Copper engravings (still well populated with images and subcategories) in 2010. Well, there are other types of engravings besides copper engravings, such as steel engravings or wood engravings (not to be confused with woodcuts), and there are subcategories for these in Category:Engravings, too: Category:Steel engravings‎, Category:Wood engravings... so I think it would be reasonable to use Category:Copper engravings, but strictly for copper engravings. Ideally, Category:Engravings itself should be empty and only contain subcategories with the engravings appropriately sorted by technique, but as many "engraving" uploads don't come with the technique already clearly identified, and as there is some experience needed to differentiate between various types of engravings (also, not all images are of sufficient resolution to identify the type of engraving with certainty), this desirable state will probably never be fully reached. But before I remove your note, I thought it appropriate to ask you - do you think some different approach would be better? Gestumblindi (talk) 00:57, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Copper engravings" is just not idiomatic or correct English. The correct term for them is "engravings", with the other types specificied by "wood", "steel" etc. "copper engravings" is mostly used by people who think the German translates directly into English, but it doesn't. Johnbod (talk) 03:44, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then the whole Category:Engravings would need some fixing. If "engraving" means strictly what we would call "Kupferstich" (copper engraving) in German, then all those subcategories of "Engravings" are wrongly sorted, as e.g. "Steel engravings" couldn't logically be a subcategory of a cat that is for engravings in copper. However, the English Wikipedia defines "Engraving" more broadly, see en:Engraving - "... or may provide an intaglio printing plate, of copper or another metal, for printing images on paper as prints or illustrations; these images are also called engravings". There's also a paragraph en:Engraving#Terms where "copper engraving" is mentioned as a term used. So, maybe - even if it's more idiomatic to call "copper engravings" just "engravings" in English, maybe it would be easier for Commons sorting purposes to stick to "copper engraving" to differentiate in the category system? Would need less fixing and reconstructing of the whole engravings category tree, I'd say. Gestumblindi (talk) 11:33, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Engraved" is less precise that "engraving", and one might change Category:Engravings to "Engraved prints" and have a note on Category:Engravings. The question is a bit theoretical as our images are extremely badly sorted and described, and it can actually be extremely difficult to work out, especially from a small photo, what sort of plate was used in some cases. Large numbers of them are etchings, lithographs, aquatints or other types of print, or not prints at all. I notice most of the titles in the copper category are in German, and if you are using German there is no problem I suppose. I just changed Category:Illustrations from De re metallica (1556) from engravings to woodcuts - it had been loaded by an Italian using "incisione". I also see the note at Category:Engraved illustrations - most of the subcats of Category:Engravings belong there, according to that. Johnbod (talk) 13:17, 29 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Files by User:Nomu420

[edit]

Hello John, You made several changes to some of the files uploaded by the above user on 7 Jan. I have a couple of questions regarding your edits:

Yes they & other items are not Lacquerware at all (wood with a hard coating)
They are carved (with considerable skill and difficulty) so yes. One might make a subcat for "Small carvings in ...." or "Jades in ..." But the most important thing is to ensure they are categorized as being in the museum in the first place.
I expect from other photos of the same objects. Johnbod (talk) 18:30, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

These questions are partly also because I am still in the process of understanding Commons! Cheers, Rahul Bott (talk) 15:17, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Festival books

[edit]

Thank you for the adds to the "Festival books" image category and article. Do you happen to know if any of the non-English language Wikipedias contain articles about festival books (e.g. French Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, etc.)? I am not sure which foreign-language phrases to search for. Advice welcome. M2545 (talk) 14:37, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your photo, File:Brit Mus 17sept 036-crop.jpg

[edit]

Dear John,

You appear to have granted wide permission for the reuse of your photo, but before incorporating it in my work, I thought I'd check just to be certain. I'm writing a book on Irish rural life, and I'd like to incorporate this photo. I would of course credit you as the photographer. Is this acceptable?

Best wishes,

Teva Scheer

Yes, certainly. Johnbod (talk) 15:24, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alexamenos

[edit]

The image is usually considered to be anti-Christian as a whole, but it doesn't depict Jesus in any usual or ordinary sense, but rather a hypothetical derogatory onocephalic entity. AnonMoos (talk) 06:05, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is just wriggling. The image is normally discussed with Christian images, and should be categorized with them, as English Wikipedia does. It was pretty clearly intended by the "artist" to represent Jesus. Saying he got it wrong has no real bearing. Johnbod (talk) 13:18, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's probably an anti-Christian image, and should be grouped in a category with anti-Christian images. However, the original artist made a deliberate conscious intentional decision not to depict Jesus in any usual or ordinary sense, but rather to substitute a hypothetical derogatory onocephalic entity in place of Jesus, so that it is not a depiction of Jesus in any meaningful sense of the phrase, and should not be grouped with images depicting Jesus... AnonMoos (talk) 16:03, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is your (very speculative) opinion, and, as I say, not supported by how reliable sources generally treat it. The category you keep removing it from does not specify that it is for Christian or pro-Christian images. Please stop this. Johnbod (talk) 16:07, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever, dude -- that's basically what the body of en:Alexamenos graffito says (as opposed to the first paragraph, which uses loose and arguably inaccurate terminological shortcuts). The artistic intention is pretty much analogous to File:Félicien Rops - La Tentation de saint Antoine.jpg, which doesn't show Jesus on the cross either (though it shows Jesus off the cross)... AnonMoos (talk) 16:22, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Idealistic portraits

[edit]

I have just used Category:Idealistic portraits on three paintings of Earls of Rutland of the 16th century, done for Belvoir Castle in the late 17th century, and without a basis drawing on the real-life appearance. That terminology may come from the German: will it do? Charles Matthews (talk) 08:47, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In English you say portraits are "idealized", but not "idealistic". Since a very high proportion of all figures shown in Western art, certainly including portraits, have some degree of idealization, I don't see much point in the category myself. Johnbod (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Portable Antiquities Scheme

[edit]
Gold Corieltauvi stater, found in North Lincolnshire.
 Hi, I can see you've used or uploaded some of these photographs in the past, so you may be interested in an early heads-up that I have started uploading all photographs from the Portable Antiquities Scheme, which should be around 400,000 photographs of archaeologically interesting artefacts, found by the public in England and Wales. It will take a few weeks to finish, I expect. I tweeted about it yesterday here and you can find the project page along with GLAM reports and other links like useful searches of the collection here. Cheers --Fæ (talk) 12:27, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Gulp! Ok, thanks. Most importantly, please make sure to keep these always in their own sub-cats, or they will completely swamp existing categories, with mostly small fragments that have little general appeal. Johnbod (talk) 12:34, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The good news is that I'm not doing any auto-categorizing, apart from adding the identifying organization (such as LVPL for Liverpool and CORN for Cornwall), which helps if you want to surf through that region. Take a look at the bucket category for the list. As a little test, I created and populated Category:Radiate with cat-a-lot, though once the entire collection is available, I agree the number of matches to these searches will be huge. --Fæ (talk) 13:03, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I took a look - some nice pieces among with the bread & butter vague lumps. So that's what "CORN" stands for| Johnbod (talk) 13:09, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ceramics of Japan

[edit]

Hi Johnbod,

could you please take out in this "Category:Ceramics of Japan" every image that has in its title "Kina" (Swedish for China) or "Kinesisk" (Swedish for Chinese) in it? Also if it has the word "porslin" and the country is China, it should only be in "Category:Chinese porcelain in the Hallwyl Museum" but not double-listed under "Category:Chinese ceramics in the Hallwyl Museum" as well. Thank you for your help. Gryffindor (talk) 23:23, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're joking - there are thousands of these, all or most grossly over-categorized. I have done some harm reduction edits, but I'm afraid I'm not going to do the lot, especially at the moment. Johnbod (talk) 00:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi John. I was under the impression you knew of a bot that could do it automatically? I didn't mean you doing it manually of course. Gryffindor (talk) 17:09, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I expect there are bots, but I'm actually not good at that sort of thing at all. If you can find anyone that would be great - there are all sorts of systematic over-categorizations in those uploads. It's bad that people with no idea of how to categorize are able to affect '000s of files. Let me know if you find anyone. Johnbod (talk) 18:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have spoken to User:Taterian, he has a bot which is great. There has been some cleanup and removal of over-categorisation in the items of the Hallwyl Museum, but I suspect more work needs to be done there. Gryffindor (talk) 10:00, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly does - I'll take a look and comment on his page (may take a few days). Thanks! Johnbod (talk) 10:48, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging

[edit]

Naram-Sin tags. I thought it was a vandalism. Anyway, coining me a "spammer" (of my images) I beleive is inappropriate, for me doing all that work voluntarily without being anonymous. You may say "please choose the appropriate tags". Thank you for correcting the tags. Neuroforever (talk) 13:26, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, apologies. But you add images to too many categories (as do many others), which clogs them up & makes using Commons harder. Cheers, Johnbod (talk) 14:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- I agree. At first, I did not put any category. After then, someone told me to add tags to the uploaded images. Did not know what to add; therefore, many images of mine appear to have many, and maybe, unnecessary categories. I have learned, as it is an acquired skill, how to add the precise categories, I hope. Once again, thank you for correcting them! Regards. Neuroforever (talk) 16:12, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
