Hello, Joostik!

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.

Hallo Joostik, I have noticed that the position of Koningsbergen (Königsberg) is not correct. It should be a bit more West at the mouth of the River Pregel. Otherwise the map is fine!

teh wrong "mal'ta venus"[edit]

the picture is not showing the "Venus of Mal'ta", but maybe a venusfigurine from Gagarino (Russia). Evidence: Henri Delporte (1979), L’image de la femme dans l‘art préhistorique. Page 114 (left side) See also: http://donsmaps.com/gagarino.html. Wikipedia must avoid to "copy and paste" the mistakes from authors.

thank you for your agreement. but the file still existe and is used by many wikis. how can we rename/delete this pic? Mr. bobby (talk) 17:04, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On the top of the page click on "more" then on "move". You can then make a request to rename the picture. Please provide a good source and accurate name. I haven't tried it yet but I guess all the links will automatically be corrected by a bot. Success! --Joostik (talk) 13:12, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-Columbian projectile points[edit]

Hi Joostik. I see you have been categorising projectile point cats. I notice that Category:Pre-Columbian North American projectile points is currently a subcategory of Category:Flint arrowheads, which results in non-flint projectile points being incorrectly categorised as flint. There is definitely at least one quartz artefact there, and if Mesoamerican projectile points end up being categorised under North America, this will result in a large number of obsidian items being categorised as flint. I haven't done anything with the cats myself since I don't want to jump into the middle of whatever reorganisationy you may be doing, but the artefact material may be better set out as a parallel/overlapping category tree. Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 11:54, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello;

To be honest I wasn't too happy with the category Flint arrowheads. First off, it should be Flint projectile points as arrowheads isn't a valid archeological term (it's impossible to make a clear distinction between arrowheads and spearpoints). Also, for many pictures a reliable determination of the material is impossible. I agree, however, that the current situation is unsatisfactory. Maybe it's best to make them parallel categories. Yours, Joostik (talk) 16:53, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll go ahead and move flint arrowheads to flint projectile points, under projectile points be material, and we'll see where we go from there. All the best, Simon Burchell (talk) 10:59, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why?[edit]

I don't know the delete a City gate is a building and a architectural element, or not? Are you a architect?--Threecharlie (talk) 14:26, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Quote: "English: Architectural elements are the unique details and component parts that together, form the architectural style of houses, buildings and structures." So no, it isn't. Joostik (talk) 15:38, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And I understand, a church tower (or church bell tower) is a building but a portal no, I think don't.--Threecharlie (talk) 14:28, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that one is debatable. If you want to you can change it back. Joostik (talk) 15:38, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Hello Joostik,
Welcome in wikicommons. I often see your contributions recently.
If I may, I have some small recommandations to make:

here: see an improvment correction here

Best regards Liné1 (talk) 20:48, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are right; my excuse was that there were so many of those uncategorized species that I was a bit hasty. Actually it might have been just as easy... Greetings, --Joostik (talk) 20:52, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

I am slowly working on those.

When you create a species cat, you should move all the pictures in the species cat. If they are also in the genus category, I will still have to do the work ;-)

What source do you follow to know if the species exists ?

Cheers Liné1 (talk) 20:55, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removing my tags[edit]

Hello Joostik, you recently removed the tag "Kirche in Brandenburg" from some of my pictures (for example this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dorfkirche_Brodowin_aussen_03.jpg). I live around Brandenburg and collect pictures of churches in this region and I think it makes sense to give them an overall tag like this. So I kindly ask you to explain why this tag should be removed? Especially as there are many similar tags in Wikimedia commons, for example "Kirchen in Münster" or "Kirchenburgen in Baden-Württemberg" ... ?

See Commons:Categories#Over-categorization : "Over-categorization is when a file, category or other page is placed in several levels of the same branch in the category tree. The general rule is always place an image in the most specific categories, and not in the levels above those." Unfortunately, this rule is very often ignored, making the upper-level categories unworkably bloated. Choose the most specific category, in this case "Category:Dorfkirche Brodowin", which is already a subcategory of "Category:Kirche in Brandenburg", and that's it. No need to add "Category:Church" or "Category:Building in Germany" or such. --Joostik (talk) 15:45, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the explanation -- Dreirik (talk) 14:25, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cavates[edit]

Cavates is the standard archaeological term for a natural or artificial cave used as a dwelling place. Please don't remove this classification. Thanks, --Pete Tillman (talk) 19:17, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, maybe in America it is. Remarkably few items though in that category. Gives the impression that maybe it isn't that common a term. Anyway, I won't bother with it anymore. --Joostik (talk) 14:20, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

SW-US archaeological term, from the Spanish. I learned it in New Mexico, especially around Bandelier Nat Mon, which is likely where you saw the WP examples. Cheers, --Pete Tillman (talk) 20:01, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category removals[edit]

Hi,

thank you for trying to provide help, but I mostly disagree with your category removals and some of the moves are even erronous:

Moving from Category:Unidentified railroads in the Czech Republic to Category:Rail transport in Moravian-Silesian Region - could by in both cats. Still we have cats of railroads in the Czech Republic and since I had no time for the identification, we can leave it in that cat.
Moving from Category:Works of Jaroslava Lukešová to Category:Jaroslava Lukešová -> the file should be in the category of what its dislaying. In this case its not displaying Jaroslava Lukešová, but her work. Such categories are common on Commons.
Moving from Category:Slezská Harta to Category:Slezská Harta Reservoir -> This is completly erronous! Pictures are of Slezská Harta village, the reservoir is somewhere else. There are even two different articles in wp

--Juandev (talk) 09:16, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

The first category you mentioned did not exist, plus the location of the pictures was clearly indicated.
The second category did not exist either; as with many artists all her other works were in her personal category. You can of course create a new category yourself, if you wish, and transfer all the files.
The third example I may agree with. However, Category:Slezská Harta was previously deleted with the comment "(Incorrect name: now Category:Slezská Harta Reservoir)". I guess the person who who deleted it was in error. Anyway, I corrected that one.

Yours, --Joostik (talk) 09:27, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nonexistent category on Commons is not the problem. Thats why is a collaborative project and you can create it. Sure the place is indicated by geoologaction, but category system here has a function to sort the pictures out. When youll be looking for pictures on Wikipedia for a specific railroad, youll be looking in a specific category. I am not saying your moves are completly nonsense, but if you want to help it would be better to create those cats. Note also, that these images are from Wikixpedition, where we created thousands of images. Now we are in process of upload and than well be placing them to wp and sorting them on commons, so this activity gives us more activity. So could you create those categories instead of moving it outside.
The second category did not exist either; --> and why you havent created the category? || as with many artists all her other works were in her personal category --> this is not the argument. Wikimedia projects are in continuous creation. || You can of course create a new category yourself --> As I wrote you above: it is planned. But let me give the answer back, why you havent created the category yourself?
There is other explanation. The person might not be incorrect if the images in that cat where of Slezská Harta Reservoir. Moreover, the cat name you moved it second time is discutable.

--Juandev (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More examples[edit]

Moving from Category:Olomoucká (Dvorce (Bruntál District)) to Category:Olomoucká (Bruntál District) --> this does not make much sense to the system we have for streets. There are two types of categories which fits here: cat:Street (municipality), cat:Streets of this name in the Czech republic. So the creation of cats like cat:Street (district) could be, but my question is, why you havent created the previous category?--Juandev (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Belogorsky district of Crimea[edit]

You have moved the category, but you haven't clean up after this movement. It can't be done by bots. Fix it, please. Wieralee (talk) 10:16, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The problem was with Category:Protected areas of Belogorsky district of Crimea which had a template which had to be changed. Figured it out and fixed. --Joostik (talk) 11:12, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:1954 Farnborough Airshow[edit]

What's the reasoning behind adding Category:Airfields in the United Kingdom and Category:Farnborough Aerodrome to the files already categorised in Category:1954 Farnborough Airshow, ref. [1]? - 4ing (talk) 21:50, 26 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Celtic crosses in Latvia[edit]

Hello! I've spotted that you recently created the category Celtic crosses in Latvia. Most of the categorized images are in fact Sun crosses, inherited from the Swedish times, so they will be moved to a different category. The difference is in the position of the ring. Nonetheless there are some uncategorized images of the very few Celtic crosses in Latvia, so the category is just as useful. Thanks! --AgrisR (talk) 20:02, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Natural heritage sites in Ukraine by raion categories[edit]

Dear Joostik, why did you destroy Category:Natural heritage sites in Ternopil Oblast by raion and Category:Natural heritage sites in Vinnytsia Oblast by raion? Had any discussion taken place before taking that action? --Djadjko (talk) 22:18, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because its a useless layer which does not add anything. In fact it encourages people to put categories in two upper categories, which isnt desirable. In short, they only make things messier, and all the natural heritag site categories in Ukraine are already a big mess anyway. Of course, if you want to restore them I won't stop you. --Joostik (talk) 08:43, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply.
I don't fully understand what you mean by "it encourages people to put categories in two upper categories", but I admit it forms a somewhat too deep structure (e. g.: "Nature reserve X" ← "Natural heritage sites in Y Raion" ← "Natural heritage sites in N Oblast by raion" ← "Natural heritage sites in N Oblast").
Regarding the messy Ukrainian natural heritage site categories, feel free to visit Ukrainian Wiki Loves Earth talk page: we're trying to sort the things out, and it can benefit from your findings. --Djadjko (talk) 03:24, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Nevers maiolica[edit]

Hi Joostik, I don't understand why you took of pictures from Category:Nevers maiolica to Category:Faience of Nevers. Nevres maiolica is real, see for example https://craham.hypotheses.org/249 (it's in French) Sincerely yours. --Faqscl (talk) 17:28, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because they are the same. --Joostik (talk) 17:30, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer, but obviously all faience of Nevers are not Nevers maiolica so they are not the same. I still don't understand...--Faqscl (talk) 17:37, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that the terms maiolica and faience are used differently in different countries. Sometimes they do make a difference, sometimes they are used interchangeable. Whats called faience in one place is maiolica in another. When they come from the same factory it would be difficult to make a distinction. --Joostik (talk) 17:51, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In France (where I live), there is a distinction between Majolica and Faience, for instance in the Louvre museum in Paris.--Faqscl (talk) 19:09, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to change it back then go ahead. Problem is that it is as good as impossible to make such a distinction on the basis of these photographs. We dont know who made the distinction in the first place. We only know that they are from the same factory, and as far as can be told roughly from the same period. Did they really change the production? It is a pretty technical distinction which is hard to make, but that goes for the entire category maiolica vs. faience. --Joostik (talk) 08:18, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your proposal, I will change it back. Have a good day !--Faqscl (talk) 14:03, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just by coincidence I came across this file: File:Majolica (Porcelain) ornamental violin, Bassano del Grappa, Vocenza, Italy (1830-1890) - MIM PHX.jpg. Now what is it? Maiolica or porcelain? It cant be both. --Joostik (talk) 08:27, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Joostik. When you use the {{Metacat}} template, please remember to include the required criterion parameter. I have just added the parameter to several categories you created. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 11:28, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Verenigd Koninkrijk der Nederlanden[edit]

Beste Joostik, ik zag dat je een kaart over het VKN maakte, die in veel lemma's opgenomen is (1815-VerenigdKoninkrijkNederlanden.svg en anderstalige varianten). Terecht trouwens, want het is een prachtige kaart. Wel wil ik graag je aandacht vestigen op een foutje dat in deze kaart is geslopen. Voor de westgrens van het groothertogdom Luxemburg heb je die van de latere provincie (Belgisch-)Luxemburg gevolgd, maar zij stemmen niet overeen. Hierdoor zijn sommige gebieden onjuist gekleurd:

De zuidpunt van de provincie Namen (o.a. Orchimont) hoorde bij het ghd. Luxemburg
Het westelijke deel van Luxemburg (o.a. Marche-en-Famenne, La Roche-en-Ardenne, St.-Hubert) hoorde bij de provincie Luik
De noordpunt van Luxemburg (o.a. Vielsalm) hoorde bij de provincie Luik

Deze kaart geeft een overzichtelijk beeld van de oude situatie. Grosso modo vormde de westgrens een lijn langs negen plaatsen: Bagimont, Redu, Framont, Laneuville, Roumont, Engreux, Bérisménil, Fraiture en Deiffelt. Het precieze verloop kun je terugvinden op deze oudere kaart, ten noorden van het roze gekleurde département des Forêts.

Heb je de werkversie van jouw kaart nog? Dan kun je dit misschien snel corrigeren? Ik hoop dat het lukt, en de kaart binnenkort nog beter de toenmalige situatie zal weergeven. Wil je dit doen? Bij vragen of opmerkingen, geef me gerust een seintje! Met vriendelijke groeten, Wimpi (talk) 21:00, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo,

Sorry voor de late reactie wegens vakantie. Ik heb geen aparte "werkversie", de gepubliceerde versie is de enige. Deze kan overigens door iedereen bewerkt worden. Als je enige ervaring hebt met .svg bestanden kan je dat eenvoudig zelf doen, dan kan je precies bepalen welke grenzen je wilt verschuiven. Zelf heb ik Inkscape gebruikt, welk programma je gratis kan downloaden. Succes, --Joostik (talk) 08:56, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:新港社大道空拍實景.jpg[edit]

I've looked at your edits on File:新港社大道空拍實景.jpg. "Tainan" has been written under it. I don't understand why your modify the category that refers to Category:高速公路 as Category:Roads in China.--Kai3952 (talk) 01:17, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Because categories should always be in English and NEVER in any non-latin script. --Joostik (talk) 08:46, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know what You said, but I'm not asking that what language is used to name categories. What I was asking is: Why do you classify Tainan under China?--Kai3952 (talk) 18:31, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Officially thats still considered China. But lets not get into that: just change the category to Roads in Taiwan. --Joostik (talk) 20:34, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you say more about why you say that "Officially thats still considered China"?--Kai3952 (talk) 13:59, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, look it up yourself. --Joostik (talk) 14:39, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why? "Tainan" and "China" are different concepts, but I don't know how you think that "Officially thats still considered China". Shouldn't we use more precise category? Looking at this edit, clearly you can see that the description was originally written as "新港社大道空拍實景" by the uploader(User:Guanting17). I've found on Wikipedia about 新港社大道, even I try to search with a map(see here) for it. The final results prove that it is indeed located in Tainan.--Kai3952 (talk) 15:59, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Joostik, I am waiting for your reply.--Kai3952 (talk) 09:50, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Joostik, Category:Roads in China is not very precise. I'm not sure why you think of "Roads in Tainan" as "Roads in Taiwan".--Kai3952 (talk) 02:25, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Buildings in Wirral[edit]

Pointless. We don't categorise anything much by geographical areas, which is what Wirral is, since the current hierarchy is political, i.e. country -> county -> council area -> suburb.

Nizhny Novgorod Oblast[edit]

Hi, how did you find out the location for [2] and [3]? (and are you sure?) --Te750iv (talk) 21:34, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not 100%, but at least some of the (limited in number and time period) photos of User:Psihonavt20-21 (File:Кудьма.jpg, File:Колодец в Лисьих Ямках.jpg) I could positively identify and they are closely located in places which you would need to be familiar with as a local. His other photos are all of the kind you would make in your local area, like the pictures of those railroad tracks or electricity lines, or a small local brook or the angler the photographer knows by name. Agreed, that's not 100% but it never is, even when the photographer tells you so. --Joostik (talk) 23:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC) P.S.: That small brook, File:Ункер.jpg, is also located nearby (actually Unkor on the map). Theres also a railway line passing by the village, which looks pretty similar in Google Streetview.

List_of_species_and_genera_in_Category:Mollusc_specimens_at_Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center[edit]

Hello Joostik,
I am working List_of_species_and_genera_in_Category:Mollusc_specimens_at_Naturalis_Biodiversity_Center.
I saw that you created a lot of species category (Cyclotopsis hinduorum, all the species of Category:Cyclotus... ).
Sadly when I am looking for references about those species, I find none.
Maybe they are badly written, maybee they have been renamed a long time ago and we lost the renaming.
Please, don't create species category if you don't have proof that it exists and is recognized.
I also would not mind if you provided at least one of thoses references.

Category:Israel Radio International[edit]

Hello. I saw that you moved many pictures from Category:Radio Reka to Category:Israel Radio International. Could you explain why, please? I can see two problems. One, these people do not belong any more to Reka. And two, they belong now to Israel Radio International, which is wrong, at least without sources. Thank you. IKhitron (talk) 22:02, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At least the English, French and Russian Wikipedias agree that Israel Radio International and Reka are the same. If they are not, I suggest you could make this clear in at least the English WP. Of course you can then move the items back. Sincerely, Joostik (talk) 22:10, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The same??? Well, I understand now. For your information, Reka was local station, intended for new immigrants in first years of their life in the new country, until they learn the new language. Israel Radio International (Channel 5) was a station for abroad, and its programs were on Farsi only. Where do you mean, in English? About Russion, it's surprising, because I wrote the Russion article about Reka, and I do not remember such text. Btw, the word Reka is an abbreviation, meaning Reshet Klitat Aliya, Immigration Absorbtion Channel. Thank you. IKhitron (talk) 22:21, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have to partially correct myself here: the Russian WP doesn't actually say they are the same, but all the international versions are linked to the same Wikidata item. In some languages there seems to be a mix-up with Voice of Israel as well.Joostik (talk) 07:16, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Again, where it is in English? IKhitron (talk) 11:41, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

en:Israel Radio International starts with: "Israel Radio International or Reka (Hebrew: רשת קליטת עלייה‬ Reshet Klitat Aliya, or רק"ע‬ Reka) is the radio service of Israel Broadcasting Authority for immigrants and listeners abroad." Joostik (talk) 15:42, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Well, enwiki is always full of mistakes, and any try of fixing brings undoing and blocking. So I'll not try any more. "Reka is" shows enough, radio was closed a year and half ago. Could you, please, read the original Hebrew version with Google Translate, see I'm right, and undo your edits? Thank you. IKhitron (talk) 16:58, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. What's up? No both categories are empty. IKhitron (talk) 13:25, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, with all that renaming it seems I somehow have put hem all in Category:Radio Kan Reka. --Joostik (talk) 15:38, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Caegory:Erich Klann (politician)[edit]

In reply to an email by User:1970gemini:

First of, I suggest such questions to be discussed here and not by email.

The question being why I changed the uncategorized category Category:Erich Klann (Kommunist) to Category:Erich Klann (politician).

As is clearly stated in the page on naming conventions on Wikimedia commons: category names should always be in English, except with untranslateable names or concepts, in which case they should at least be in Latin-based script. Erich Klann (Kommunist) should therefore be written as Erich Klann (communist). The fact that theres only a German-language WP-article about him is irrelevant. Subjects about which there is only a Chinese-language article should not have a Chinese-language Commons category either. Actually there are many subjects and people without any Wikipedia article in any language which do have a category on Wikimedia Commons.

Then there is the question whether he should be defined as a communist or a politician. That is of course debateable. Personally I considered politician to be more neutral, and his relevance lies in him having been a local politician, not in having been a communist, of which there have been millions more. But if you think he would be better described as a communist, then you can still change the category to Category:Erich Klann (communist); with a c, that is.

Yours, Joostik (talk) 10:39, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dem wage ich doch stark zu widersprechen. Unter den Weblinks ist es hinreichend 'Template:'Commonscat'' einzugeben um eine entsprechende Seite zu erhalten. Ich zitiere mal aus einem Film: "all animals are equal, but some of them are more equal than others"?

Sicher, Fragen sollten hier diskuttiert werden, nur ist jede Frage würdig hier diskuttiert zu werden! Wenn x das Handeln von y nicht versteht und dieses Nichtverstehen aus Sicht von x nicht zwangsläufig den Tatbestand erfüllt, ist es mE besser, die Frage vorerst über die Email-Fkt zu klären.

Due to this "As is clearly stated in the page on naming conventions on Wikimedia commons: category names should always be in English, except with untranslateable names or concepts, in which case they should at least be in Latin-based script." I would like to remeber the Tiananmen Square. Everyone knows that Wikipedia and the chinese goverments made an agreement. The chinese ones can't see, what the rest of the world could see. Conversion: The rule you specify can not be binding on anyone.

Yours1970gemini 13:47, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reaction, whhich however does not address any of the points I made above, other than that I understand you consider it unfair that English is the standard language on Commons. Although I did not make that rule myself I strongly agree with it. First off, there has to be one common language for categories because of general understanding and to prevent parallel category trees. Second, Wikipedia and its sattelite projects started as an English-language effort. Also, English is the common language of a great part of the internet world and the world in general. Very unfair toward German, but there it is. What Tienanmen Sqare and the Chinese government have to do with that I really cant follow. Yours, Joostik (talk) 15:50, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a female politician[edit]

Please fix the category you recently changed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:25, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Depends on your definition of female politician. If it includes only women holding political offices, then probably not. If it includes any woman involved in politics, then probably more than one. The categories as they were had at least 95% overlap, and their relation to wikidata items was similarly unclear. I can restore Category:Women in politics as a bona fide category, but it will probably become a mess again. Joostik (talk) 18:36, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lisk-Carew Brothers[edit]

Dear Joostik, You redirected [[Category:Lisk-Carew Brothers]] to [[Category:Alphonso Lisk-Carew]], and replaced all photographs to the latter category. I would like to hear arguments on which these actions are based. I read every scrap of paper written about the Lisk-Carew Brothers, and I don't think it is clear who made these photographs. Alphonso's brother was his assistant, and it might well be there was a division of tasks. Moreover, every photo mentions "Lisk-Carew Brothers", so there was a clear reason why the images were in that category. It would be nice if you could give some arguments for changing these categories. Of course I won't change the categories back, if your arguments are convincing. Vysotsky (talk) 18:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can argue about the position of an assistant, but never mind. If you thin that's undecided I'll change it back. Joostik (talk) 18:54, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Changes in Category:Matcha[edit]

Hello Joostik!
I saw the changes you did in Category:Matcha and want to ask you some questions. When I created Category:Matcha powder my goal was to seperate the images of Matcha as finely ground powder and the beverage (collected in Category:Matcha tea). My goal was to keep Category:Matcha as clean as possible and sort everything into sub-categories. Since you pretty much reverted that process, I ask you to comment on your changes. --D-Kuru (talk) 15:17, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Matcha is defined as a powder, so Matcha powder = Matcha. There is still a separate category for the beverage (Category:Matcha tea, that is, made with Matcha), as well as Matcha confectionery. If you think the definition of Matcha as a powder is incorrect, then please change it. I would then suggest making a new, separate wikidata item as well. Yours, Joostik (talk) 15:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I asked people on ja.wikipedia about that. It seems that they call both matcha (or "maccha" as well). So I would say it's fair to say both really are the same.

Compressed earth buildings/Rammed earth[edit]

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Compressed_earth_buildings&diff=402945729&oldid=153591893 : how can it be correct to redirect a category for a type of building to a category a third of whose members aren't buildings (based on a quick skim)? Am I missing something (I may well be). - Jmabel ! talk 04:11, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Because all Compressed earth buildings fall under the general category Rammed earth. It would indeed be wrong the other way around. But if you wish I can make it into a subcategory again. Joostik (talk) 17:16, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there already exists a Category:Rammed earth buildings. Redirected it to that one. Joostik (talk) 17:20, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Much better. I'll push a bunch of buildings down from Category:Rammed earth to Category:Rammed earth buildings. Thanks. - Jmabel ! talk 17:28, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Air filters vs Interior air filters[edit]

Maiolica[edit]

Hi, Please elaborate this. --A.Savin 21:38, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are examples of tin-glazed maiolica, not to be confused with 19th-century lead-glazed majolica. Joostik (talk) 21:40, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a reason to move the category, but instead, you may divide Maiolica in Russia into subcats. You have produced a mess in the Category:Tin-glazed maiolica by country, that's not acceptable. --A.Savin 21:43, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did remove the later lead-glazed pottery from the category. Could you point out which mess you are talking about? Joostik (talk) 21:45, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(ec) Because "Maiolica in [Australia/France/Italy/...]" are now subcat of "Tin-glazed maiolica by country", which does not make sense. --A.Savin 21:49, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It does, because "maiolica" with an i is properly tin-glazed. See below. Joostik (talk) 21:54, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the Category:Tin-glazed maiolica by country. They are all about tin-glazed pottery. Joostik (talk) 21:47, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Btw: the lead-glazed 19th century ware is properly called majolica with a j. Maiolica should be tin-glazed, but the addition "tin-glazed maiolica" is there to prevent confusion for non-English speakers. Joostik (talk) 21:52, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Images from Unsplash (review needed)[edit]

Hi Joostik, it’s fine that you are helping with review of images in Category: Images from Unsplash (review needed). However, many of there images are already categorized with detailed categories. It’s just making a lot of noise to shovel them into town categories (e.g. “Los Angeles”, “Copenhagen” etc). If the images are already in a suitable category just delete the category “Images from Unsplash (review needed)”, thanks. Pugilist (talk) 18:14, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, ideally. That, however, would mean a lot of work which which aparently noone is prepared to do. Its already too much work aparently to remove the category “Images from Unsplash (review needed)” when properly catalogued. Basically it makes the whole category unworkeable. Joostik (talk) 08:54, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe everything within “Images from Unsplash (review needed)” should get a "check categories"-tag. Joostik (talk) 09:03, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that many of the files had already been checked and had been put in relevant categories. As an example this file already has categories, including Category:Restaurants in Copenhagen and it does not add much to put in into Category:Copenhagen; it's fine just to remove Category: Images from Unsplash (review needed). --Pugilist (talk) 14:33, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as I said, I understood that already. So, basically the whole "Images from Unsplash (review needed)"-category is rubbish, because noone ever removes files from that category after proper categorization. Doesn't help that its hidden either. Joostik (talk) 14:47, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Original names for foreign books[edit]

I have previously previouly proposed to use category names other than Latin for books and received mixed comment. I believe original names are important for Chinese books because no one use Pinyin to search. I don't know the case for Japanese Books.--維基小霸王 (talk) 02:24, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See Commons:Categories: "Category names should generally be in English (see Commons:Language policy). However, there are exceptions such as some proper names, biological taxa and names for which the non-English name is most commonly used in the English language (or there is no evidence of usage of an English-language version). Latin alphabets are used in original form including diacritics and derived letters, non-Latin alphabets are transcribed to the English Latin script. Basic English characters (ISO/IEC 646) are preferred over national variants or extension character sets (for instance, 'straight' apostrophes over 'curly'), where reasonable." -- Joostik (talk) 06:59, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you are worried people cant find it then you can always use any language in any character set in the descriptive header. Joostik (talk) 07:05, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong categorization[edit]

Hi, I see you recently changed the category of some files like in this case. But the description does not match the new category, as it states that the depicted objects are from Chalcolithic (copper age), not from stone age. --Phyrexian ɸ 09:38, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the Chalcolithic is considered part of the Neolithic, the late Stone Age. But Ill look into it. Joostik (talk) 10:04, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Bellbeaker Culture is generally classified as neolithic, although they played a very large role initiating the Bronze Age in Europe. Classifications as "Copper Age" are not always that straightforward. Joostik (talk) 10:15, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I trust your opinion, I'm not an expert on the topic. Probably it would be better to have more specific categories, like "Bellbeaker culture stone artefacts". I should check the categorization of those uploads. --Phyrexian ɸ 13:22, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization of Hong Kong categories[edit]

Hi, you have created many categories with Hong Kong theme from wanted categories, but you never put them in right upper categories. You have started this like a half an year ago and misplaced like a hundred of categories and they have been all cleaned by other users. They should not be placed in Category:Hong Kong, Category:2020 in Hong Kong or somewhere else like that, but in more specific categories with districts and actual places. Example: Category:2020 in Bowring Street do not belong to Category:Hong Kong, it belongs to Category:2020 in Jordan, Hong Kong and in Category:Bowring Street. If you do not know the districts, use google or stop creating categories. There has been also duplicate categories with spelling mistakes and some categories did belong to other countries than to Hong Kong, so if you could check better in future or stop creating them. --Velma (talk) 07:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This contributor posts enormous amounts of pictures, all of them hugely overcategorized. He never actualy creates the categories themselves. I tried a detailed categorization like you suggested above, but at he rate he posts thats impossible to keep up. At least putting them in the general category "Hong Kong" makes it easier to then sort them out further. But never mind, I'm sure you have enough time to do a better job.

Вікі любить пам'ятки 2021 в Україні / Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 in Ukraine[edit]

Привіт!

З 1 по 30 вересня вже традиційно пройде українська частина міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки»! В Україні цей конкурс пройде вже вдесяте. На конкурс можна подавати власні фото пам'яток історико-культурної спадщини України — і змагатися за призи. Більше можна прочитати за посиланням.

Радимо ознайомитися із детальними правилами, а також із відповідями на часті питання. Як і того року — у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток» можна отримати 21 бал за фотографії об'єктів, якщо світлин цієї пам'ятки раніше не було завантажено.

Нагадаємо, що всі фотографії автоматично беруть участь у номінації «За найбільшу кількість сфотографованих пам’яток»; однак для того, щоб фото позмагалося у номінації «Найкраще фото», потрібно підтвердити це при завантаженні.

Цього року вперше будуть окремо виділені фото з повітря (дронами, квадрокоптерами тощо) — у спеціальній номінації «Аерофото». Для того, щоб робота потрапила на спецномінацію потрібно вибрати її у Завантажувачі.

Також вперше проводиться спеціальна номінація «Пам'ятки Подесення», знову пройдуть спецномінації «Відео», «Єврейська спадщина», «Млини», «Пам'ятки національно-визвольної боротьби» та «Via Regia Ukraine». Для участі світлин у цих спецномінаціях не потрібно обирати нічого у Завантажувачі — світлини зараховуватимуться автоматично з відповідних списків.

Усі номінації та спецномінації конкурсу описані тут.

Приєднуйтеся!

Зі списками пам'яток можна ознайомитися тут. Більше інформації про конкурс дивіться за посиланням. Щоб отримувати інформацію про новинки у конкурсі — підпишіться на наші блог та сторінку у фейсбук.

Важливо! Цього року відбулася адміністративно-територіальна реформа. Однак, ми проводимо конкурс ще за попереднім адміністративно-територіальним устроєм. Ми почали роботу над створенням списків з новим поділом, але вона ще не є завершена. Ви можете користуватися тими новими списками, що вже є, якщо потрібно відшукати пам'ятку за новим поділом (деякі ОДА вже почали присилати у такому форматі), але пам'ятайте, що нові списки ще не є повними.

Якщо у Вас є запитання, можете звертатися wlmwikimedia.org.ua чи у фейсбук – З повагою, Оргкомітет «Вікі любить пам'ятки».17:36, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Привіт!

Нагадуємо, що до 30 вересня включно можна вантажити світлини та відео культурної спадщини України до національного етапу міжнародного фотоконкурсу «Вікі любить пам'ятки»!

Зараз Україна посідає 3-є місце за кількістю завантажених світлин, поступаючись Російській Федерації та Німеччині. За першу половину місяця було завантажено світлини пам'яток із усіх регіонів України, але частина із них є дуже погано представлена. Севастополь зараз представлений тільки однією пам'яткою і одним фото, Крим — 12 пам'яток і 51 фото. Детальніше — у таблиці:

Category:Dijkhuizen[edit]

Dear Joostik, You renamed Category:Dijkhuizen in Nederland to Category:Dike houses in the Netherlands wihout even consulting me. I am not happy about this renaming. There was a prior discussion about the name, see Category talk:Dike houses in the Netherlands, and the outcome was Category:Dijkhuizen in Nederland, because "Dike house" is not about a residential house like the ones in the Netherlands, but has another meaning. I expect you to reverse this renaming. JopkeB (talk) 04:41, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't quite agree with it (categories should be in English, for a number of reasons) but if this has been decided then fine. --Joostik (talk) 20:25, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Would you happen to know why the area around Axel is show as different than either the Generality territories or Zeeland? I'm not sure any article which uses this map ever explains why it's marked differently/uniquely. Criticalthinker (talk) 20:30, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you can read Dutch, there's the article nl:Land van Axel which explains it. In short, the Land of Axel did have a different history from the rest of the Generality of Zeeland. Joostik (talk) 12:21, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I don't know. I did not categorize those files like that, the person who uploaded the files did. I only made the category itself. I was tempted to remove the category from these files, but was in doubt. Please be free to do so. --Joostik (talk) 00:54, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You did this category. Either way I removed the year one. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:37, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, the categories were very confusing. The category used to be on the separate files, without any obvious reason. Tried to reorganize it, but did not really succeed. Please remove the category. Joostik (talk) 08:30, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

European late neolithic map[edit]

Hello Joostik, are you sure all of the cultures mentioned on File:European-late-neolithic-english.svg still existed in Late Neolithic? Here are a few dates I found in English Wikipedia pages:

Cardium Pottery culture was in the 6th millennium BC
Vinča, Hamangia and Eastern Linear Pottery cultures lasted until ca. 4500 BC
Stroke-ornamented ware cultures ended ca. 4400 BC
Rössen culture ended ca. 4300 BC
Dnieper-Donets culture ended ca. 4200 BC
Stentinello, Tisza and Lengyel cultures ended ca. 4000 BC

If not all this is already Late Neolithic, maybe it's worth updating the map. It is widely used in Wikipedia pages, and variants in other languages. EricLaporte (talk) 11:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right. I made this some years ago as a svg copy of an earlier gif-image, complete with al the names. Most cultures are more like early to middle neolithic, so the name "European-Late-Neolithic" may be misleading. Joostik (talk) 12:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
