Category:Videos by source[edit]
should there be a standard format of its subcats? some of these are <source> videos, which I find OK, but between videos by XX and .. from XX, which is better? (I'd prefer from <agencies> but by <cameraman>.) (I need to create a subcat for China News Service.) Roy17 (talk) 20:26, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Roy17: I suggest "Videos from" or "Videos by". I see you have already created category:Videos from China News Service. But also note, that in many cases better solution would be "category:Files from SOURCENAME", so it comprises audios, videos, images, animations--Estopedist1 (talk) 09:19, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
- I intend to close this by recommending (but not actively enforcing) the format "Videos from XX".
- I think, "by" signifies authorship but "from" merely indicates source. There could be platforms/agencies that publish commissioned works authored by other people, like not all videos from NASA are videos by NASA, so I suggest using "from" is better so that such titles can cover a broader range of scenarios.
