Silvretta:[edit]

Vorschlag: Blick vom Jamtal Richtung Norden auf den Adamsberg und die Hohen Köpfe, rechts im Vordergrund Thomasberg/ Predigberg passt der Karte nach ganz gut, besonders die Lawinenverbauungen würden gut passen. Ist aber nur geraten. Hihi, lustiges Spiel, spielen wir das jetzt öfter? Kann man auch was gewinnen? ;-) --Svickova 09:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hab dir noch ein paar rausgesucht, zu gewinnen gibt es aber nichts. lg --Herzi Pinki 23:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Schade, warum spiel ich dann mit...? ;-) aber ernsthaft mal eine blöde Frage: Wie ist das hier gedacht? Also wenn man was weiß, soll man das hier vorschlagen/ausdiskutieren oder gleich die Beschreibung ändern und das Bild hier austragen oder wie sonst? --85.127.39.24 23:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC) ääh vorstehender Beitrag stammt von mir, war wohl irgendwie nicht angemeldet...?--Svickova 18:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo Svickova, genau so. Wenn du es weißt, in der Bildbeschreibung ändern, mindestens en und de, wenn du unsichere Zusatzinfos hast, bei der Diskussion zum Bild eintragen. So mach ich das zumindest. (Ich trag das Bild hier nicht ein, wenn ich es selber weiß.) --Herzi Pinki 21:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move request[edit]

It was requested to move this cat to Category:Unidentified mountains because of Reason: One tree for unsorted/unclassified/unidentified.

Although the name is just a name of a maintenance category used for a game to play which helps us to identify mountains (we already did identify 150 mountain pictures, some of them as difficult as this one), and thus is not important, care should be taken to keep motivations high to identify such mountain pictures.

Of course the reason stated is nonsense. Category:Mountain puzzle is a child cat of Category:Unidentified subjects already. I would understand much better: One schema for .. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 17:26, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ah ja we like having fun on working for wikipedia in Deutschland, Österreich, the Schweiz, Liechtenstein and Südtirol - join us ;)
I made it a subcat of Category:Unidentified mountains: main "game" is to identify all mountains (the fotographed main subject is often known), mountain ranges in the background, names of landfom details, names of alpine huts, lakes, or just precise posistion the photo was taken, or lacking description or categories - so we'll leave it as it is.. --W!B: (talk) 17:14, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

Category:Mountain puzzle[edit]

Category tree should be merged to Category:Unidentified mountains. No need for two parallel category trees. We have Commons:Mountain puzzle to explain. 178.27.109.88 15:41, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Same move was requested already in 2009 [1] and declined (talk). This always was intended to be a flat category, but @Reykholt: created this parallel tree structure for that. This category serves as a landing page for a game we play on German WP. There is also a lengthy description on the category page describing the game and its rules. I would like to go back to a flat game category and do the unidentified stuff in parallel. My keep is weak. And other guys and gals might as well tackle the unidentified mountains. The difference between unidentified and mountain puzzle is that in some cases unidentified will be resolved against some unprecise information like the point of view or just the mountain range, which helps but is not enough to solve the puzzle. Not to mention cases where the mountain is just background. Thus even images with a sound description might get the puzzle category to find additional information. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 16:33, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Herzi Pinki: That seems fairly reasonable. Could you add something explaining the distinction from Category:Unidentified mountains in the Category:Mountain puzzle category description? Thanks. - Themightyquill (talk) 17:07, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

of course I can do that. Just waiting another few days for additional opinions. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 22:15, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't care about the "top category" but categories like Category:Mountain puzzle of Vorarlberg‎ should be Category:Unidentified mountains of Vorarlberg and so on. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 21:56, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Thgoiter: thanks for your point. Shall we keep a flat category of all unidentified mountains (to browse and find known mountains by visual impression), or shall we move all images to the unidentified branches and make the "top category" just an empty landing page (and loose browsing in the large). I stated my opinion above, but only with weak keep. Assigning unidentified mountains to regions is a risky strategy although, the recategorizations made by @Reykholt: e.g. partly introduced wrong assignments. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 21:45, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Browsing in the large" is possible by using FastCCI.

Keeping Category:Mountain puzzle as a "collector" is OK for me. I just don't see the need of having inconsistences in the category trees, meaning some categories start with "Mountain puzzle...", some with "Unidentified mountains...". --тнояsтеn ⇔ 08:10, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That was not the point. FastCCI does btw not allow to browse a category tree as a flat category e.g. in the slideshow app. --Herzi Pinki (talk) 23:05, 4 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will make the Mountain puzzle description more clear acc. to the statement above. Anybody who wants to merge the two trees is asked to do so, either by adding the flat Category:Mountain puzzle as before, or by not keeping it. No strong opinion on that. Of course, after that the category subtrees of Category:Mountain puzzle should be deleted. Identifying the stuff is the important thing. So may I ask everybody to contribute … Here is the current list of incriminated categories:

@Herzi Pinki, Thgoiter, and Reykholt: what is situation here? This mountain puzzle stuff to be merged to "Unidentified mountains" to be consistent with Commons system?--Estopedist1 (talk) 20:04, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How much can you @Estopedist1: contribute and how much are you willing to solve the puzzles? There is no sense in moving around the unknown, the unidentified. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 20:22, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stale discussion. @Herzi Pinki, Thgoiter, and Reykholt: it is pretty obvious that Commons:Mountain puzzle is extinct (last edit 2010) and doesn't fit into Commons system. These categories to be renamed (with category suppression):

After renaming we can close this CFD. Objections?--Estopedist1 (talk) 15:55, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Solve a dozen of the puzzles and then go ahead. :-) best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 16:03, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that they aren't being solved only reinforces the idea that the categories should be renamed. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:01, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will not rename. Or am I expected to rename? I did not create these subcategories, I do not fill those subcategories, I do not need these categories and when I remove an image by identifying the mountain, nobody will take notice (removing from a cat will not show up in related changes, adding to a subcat will not show as last edit on a cat). I had some resolving edits in October: e.g. [2], [3]
What is the best strategy to get objects identified? To optimize processes? To find co-workers? To make more progress? To get rid of sloppy described images? The same with Category:Artwork by unknown artists in Austria. Moving categories around will not do that. best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 16:49, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Estopedist1: what is the situation here? Who is meant with we? best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 15:27, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've left Category:Mountain puzzle alone, but moved the subcategories to "unidentified mountains in x" Themightyquill (talk) 13:32, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
