@AutomobilePassion: I have a different concept for those categories I'd like to talk about how we can make them happen. As you know the E46 got a facelift in 2001 and 2003, the E90 in 2008 and the F30 in 2015. As it's hard to find them within the sheer mass of picture this would be an improvement to this categories, don't you think. --Steinfeld-feld (talk) 17:27, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
You are acting in an uncivil manner. Please remain civil and don't resort to making personal attacks or instigate edit wars. If your behaviour is not moderated, you may be blocked from further editing.
@AutomobilePassion: If my first sentence came of as unfriendly I'm sorry, but please don't do unreasoned reverts. I only the Alfa Romeo 159 revert because you didn't wrote a conclusion why you did the revert you did. --Steinfeld-feld (talk) 17:26, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Unfortunately, it appears that you didn't take the time to read Commons:Categories and hence you didnt know that files are categorized by subject and not by content. That means you don't have to add a category, for every tiny bit and piece that's depicted in an image.--AutomobilePassion (talk) 19:59, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
@AutomobilePassion: So you want to make it harder for people to get to see content they are looking for. Those three cars take up nearly a quarter of the picture. The picture is 1600 by 1200. So if anyone looks for a picture of a Volkswagen Caddy in blue where they could make a cropped version out of it (appr. 600 by 600) they shouldn't be able to find it. That doesn't makes sense at all, please consider this before making the guidelines holier as they are. --Steinfeld-feld (talk) 20:15, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
As the description of the file says, the subject of that image is the city of Herford, to be more precise the Markthalle, and not certain vehicles.--AutomobilePassion (talk) 20:25, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
If you crop an image it's not the same image anymore it's missing a lot of information and context that is added by the background. I hope you can understand that the categories still apply to the original image. The subject is that far away that it can only be seen as the backround of the vehicles in the foreground and you could crop out the market hall self too. BTW do you mind if I move this discussion to the image talk page instead of my talk page? --Steinfeld-feld (talk) 20:34, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
Well as stated in the file desciption, the photographer obviously took a picture that depicts the market hall. If someone is looking for a picture of blue VW Caddy 2K they will find enough files depicting that car in the category for the Caddy. There is no need to categorise every tiny bit and piece. And there is no need to move this discussion. The rules are clear in this case.--AutomobilePassion (talk) 20:51, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
