User talk:Themightyquill/Archives/2010

Dear Mightyquill, thanks for your work, but I don't quite understand why you removed the categories that I found for my picture File:Libélo-Valence.jpg: it is about bike sharing, therefore belongs in Category:Bicycles and Category:Transport in my humble opinion. SInce this service is provided by a firm, it belongs as well in the Category:Industry, don't you think so? If you don't give me elements against it, I will put these categories back.

Thanks, regards, Christian.Mercat (talk) 15:14, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Themightyquill, I noticed you started using Commons Commander. As I use it regularly, if you need help with it or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. The alpha-version still has a few bugs and sometimes gets stuck, but overall I think it's quite useful. -- User:Docu at 22:44, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

FYI, I started a page about it at Commons:Tools/cc. -- User:Docu at 10:15, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

RE: Map

Look, I could care less to be honest, but are you oblivious to the fact that the blue doesn't make it clear who annexed it? Mnmazur (talk)

Just because you made the image does not give you the sole right to edit it. And please, mind the attitude, you're not being very civil. Mnmazur (talk)

I don't quite get it

Could you provide an explanation for why you removed all these categories? Thanks, cheers, --Edelseider (talk) 17:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Aww, shucks. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 12:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

NHSC

Hi. Sorry for the delay in responding. Patriotic pride wasn't my intent -- I just used the symbol I thought logically could be used as a marker (the stylized beaver used by Parks Canada is presumably copyrighted). But I'm not trying to be jingoistic -- I appreciate you letting me know you know that's how it came across. Any suggestions? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:07, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

No worries - the question was fine, and I am glad you raised it. Someone when one does something, one doesn't notice all the implications until someone else points them out. I agree that I should replace the maple leaf, because I don't want to create a precedent for patriotic icons on various categories. I kind of think a marker is helpful (although maybe it should like to Wikipedia articles, using LangSwitch, rather than simply to the parent category), and a marker been used for the French monuments historiques for some time (see, for example, Category:Château de Brest). Other heritage designations, like the Dutch Rijksmonument or World Heritage Sites have full templates with designation numbers - since NHSC aren't assigned numbers, and the designation categories aren't well known, I thought a full template here was a bit overblown. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:10, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:50, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

People of / People from

Hello. I do think that the current category tree is a bit of a mess, because there is no rhyme or reason whether it is "of" or "from". As you know, it's consistent for Canada, except for Vancouver (all provinces → "of", all cities → "from"), but not across the board (e.g. People of Ontario, but People from Wisconsin; People from Toronto, but People of London). Are you interested in making changes just to the Canadian cats, or to the whole category tree? If just Cdn., I wouldn't oppose a switch of everything to "from" (except perhaps for "People of Canada", as then there would be a consistency problem with other countries). If across the board, there are several possible solutions, which could include:

• People from [country, region/subnational entity, city, neighbourhood] (standard format for everyone)
• People of [country, region/subnational entity, city, neighbourhood] (same approach)
• People of [country], People from [region/subnational entity, city, neighbourhood] ("of" for countries, "from" for everything else)
• People of [country], People of [region/subnational entity], People from [city/neighbourhood] ("of" for countries and provinces, "from" for municipalities, etc.)

There are other variations, of course, but those seem to make most sense. I may be worth raising at COM:CAT. What do you think? --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:28, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Interestingly, note this discussion. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 17:29, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for initiating all the necessary moves. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 18:13, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see you're using the {{Move}} tag - I might have been less cautious and just listed them at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands, but your approach is probably the right one. When I get the chance I will help you tag 'em. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 18:19, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Did you mean to do this? I didn't want to revert it, because maybe I am missing something. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 14:44, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Hatmaking. If you do not want it under "hats", you should find a better category, not only delete hats?! --Kürschner (talk) 18:03, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I see, it's ok. --Kürschner (talk) 18:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
