Unable to batch rename these 120 files, I created this provisional subcat Category:Photographs by Allie Caulfield/Misnamed "Andalusien, Lissabon" photos to rename. The phrase "Andalusien, Lissabon" is particularly misleading as it presents a city name and a region name separated by a comma — a format typically used to refer to a city within its sourrounding territory (as in "Paris, Texas"). While I understand that Allie’s intention was simply to label her periple in south spanish region Andalucia and in the Portuguese capital city Lisbon, this phrasing is needlessly misleading (Lisbon was part of Andalusia only from 711 to 1148) and problematic (fuelling my countrymen’s bitter hispanophobia). I suggest replacing the comma with an ampersand, better renaming of individual files pending. How can 120 files be swiftly renamed? (If impossible, it will be done slowly and painfully by manual labour.) -- Tuválkin 13:50, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
