User talk:Balancing Act

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Balancing Act!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Low qualitiy

Willst du diesen Baustein unter jedes Foto setzen - denn jedes ist verbesserungswürdig - Von 1914 wirst du eben nihct viel anderes finden - aber suchen willst eh nicht du sondern andere sollen es machen .--K@rl (talk) 16:49, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

This image (or all images in this category/page) is very small, unfixably too light/dark, or may not adequately illustrate the subject of the image If a higher-quality version of this particular image is available, please replace this one; otherwise, a supplemental image illustrating this subject and available under a free license should be found or provided and uploaded as a separate file. Please see Category:Image cleanup templates for templates used to mark images that only need a clean-up. For more help, see Commons:Media for cleanup#Low quality images.

Category:Kansas

Why did you delete all images from thid category? Most images had a reason to be in this category. --Jahobr (talk) 17:27, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

@Jahobr: I've done my best. Nearly all files have already been in a more specific category. I'm sorry and ready to fix any files which are now unclassified. Regards, --Balancing Act (talk) 18:17, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm a category guy like you. To be honest, at the Kansas recategorization I've maybe lacked the reasonable diligence, but at Texas A&M I've manually reviewed every single file. This category change even got applauded.--Balancing Act (talk) 18:26, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Yep, no worries. When I saw the mass delete of the cat I checked some files and thought it was vandalism and complained. Later on I wanted to "fix" it, but found no bad cat deletes (any more). I should have deleted my complaint at this point, sorry. Greetings --Jahobr (talk) 22:10, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
