• File:Calaveras_skulls.jpg is a set of trinkets, not actual bones. It's very similar to File:Alfeniques of day of the dead.jpg, so I think it should be in the Miscellaneous category. --99of9 (talk) 06:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • I agree.--miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Because it is made for the purposes of information without much thought to artistry, I think File:Théâtre Bruges 1835.jpg should be in with the maps rather than the artwork. --99of9 (talk) 06:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • I agree.--miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• File:2011-02-13-chemin.jpg seems like a typical Nature View to me, no need to put it in miscellaneous. --99of9 (talk) 06:29, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • But it is a picture of "The Swiss-French border" that is why this picture was promoted to FP, I guess.--miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• Same with File:ANTONY GORMLEY Widderstein 09.JPG (even though the sculpture is significant here, I think it is best compared with other landscapes) --99of9 (talk) 06:29, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Maybe.--miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• I think File:Shiva as the Lord of Dance LACMA edit.jpg and File:Trapezophoros con due grifoni che sbranano una cerva.jpg are not really interiors and details, I think they are better off being compared with other objects in miscellaneous. --99of9 (talk) 06:32, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Maybe. --miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• File:King_Penguins_(Youngs).jpg should go in birds intead of panoramas. Even though it's the same shape as the other panoramas it is incomparable in many other ways. --99of9 (talk) 06:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Isn't it too wide to show in an ordinary gallery?--miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• File:Venezuela - Caracas - Parque del Este (58)-Venezuela - Caracas - Parque del Este (72)-4.jpg is mostly nature, with just a few boats. I'd put it in the nature-panorama's rather than with the city-panoramas. --99of9 (talk) 06:40, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Maybe. --miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
• File:Dn nasva 0854.jpg and File:A Brouhot car in Paris, 1910.jpg (activities -> vehicles) ... every vehicle is sort of a human activity, but we have a specific category for them, so let's use it here. --99of9 (talk) 06:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Maybe. --miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

I made your proposals into gallery.--miya (talk) 07:50, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

As there is no more opinion, I'll change those categories except File:2011-02-13-chemin.jpg.--miya (talk) 17:33, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Please make these corrections

In the section "Galleries by categories":

1. Non-phtographic files – should read "Non-photographic files"
2. Skeleton, Mummies and fossils – should read "Skeletons, mummies and fossils"

In the section "ALL or half of 2011 FPs"

1. ALL being entirely caps is weird, but maybe that was deliberate (the page itself is called /ALL)
2. Dashes between dates should be en-dashes, which is more correct, but also consistent with the en-dashes in the index at the bottom of the page. Keep the spaces around the en-dashes. So "January – June 2011" and "July – December 2011"

Thanks. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 19:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Did you know...

• ...that there are 13 subject categories at 2011's Picture of the Year competition? (And four that refer to specific formats.)
• ...that twelve of the 32 current top-ranking POTY candidates are either outdoor views of nature (7) or constructions (5), while a further 3 are nature views with a vehicle or animal as a minor feature?
• ...that there are no cluse-up pictures among nature views?
• ...that except for the 32 top-ranked media overall, only the top one of each category will be included in round 2?

I will cross-post this, as it's not clear to me which one of these many talk pages actually gets read. Certainly, the rate of replies could be higher.
