De-adminship warning

This talk page in other languages:

Dear Foroa/archive 2014, I am writing to inform you that you are in danger of losing your adminship on Commons because of inactivity.

If you want to keep your adminship, you need both to sign at Commons:Administrators/Inactivity section/Feb-Mar 2014 within 30 days of today's date, and also to make at least five further admin actions in the following six months. Anyone who does not do so will automatically lose administrator rights.

You can read the de-admin policy at Commons:Administrators/De-adminship.

Thank you, odder (talk) 20:37, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Regrettably, Foroa's last edit on Commons was July 23rd, 2013. --Túrelio (talk) 21:17, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
I hope he's okay, and that his absence is explained by nothing more serious than he got fed up with the lot of us.--Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:32, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure he got fed up with me. :$ Lotje (talk) 11:14, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

De-adminship

Hi Foroa! This is just to inform you that earlier today, you had your adminship privileges revoked on Meta by a Wikimedia steward; as you are an experienced editor, I added you to the autopatrolled user group (which doesn't affect your editing anyway). Thank you for you service as an administrator, and I hope you will stay active on Commons as a regular contributor. Of course, please do feel free to re-apply for adminship when you get more active :-) Thank you! odder (talk) 14:06, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikimedia "Brighton Museum & Art Gallery" category page

Hello Foroa! I don't think that this category page should have been moved. "Brighton Museum & Art Gallery" is the official name of the attraction, but the category name's now been changed to "Museum and Art Gallery, Brighton, East Sussex", which is descriptive, but not the attraction's actual name. If you look at the picture of the outside of the building, you'll see that its official name is spelled out in metal letters on the side of its wall: ErkDemon (talk) 03:25, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Could you please explain...

You deleted Category:Cuban refugees at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base with a deletion log entry saying it had been moved to Category:Refugees from Cuba at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. Since it was linked from the wikipedia article Cuban refugees at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, surely deletion was not in order?

If there was a discussion over replacing Category:Cuban refugees at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base with Category:Refugees from Cuba at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base could you please provide a link to that discussion? Geo Swan (talk) 00:57, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

RE:Buildings and structures in the Azores

Good day Foroa. It seems I made of mess of a categorization system that you developed, which I only came across (luckily) today. I started creating Category:Buildings and structures in the Azores, and specifically Category:Buildings and structures in Vila do Corvo, when I noticed you and your colleagues had determined the irrelevance of the categories, of which I do not contend. Call it "a lack of knowledge of the structure of the WikiCommons categories". I was hoping, in your off-time, if you could find a way to delete these categories? I have re:categorized the images and sub-categories into their appropriate groups, I just need to eliminate the offending categories. Oh, and also, there seems to be a category about a lighthouse that, really, has no images. Is there a way to remove that as well? I am sorry to be a problem. I guess I am still a newbie here. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 10:25, 20 August 2014 (UTC)~

Okay...I resolved it. No prob...but thanks for being there. ;) ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 11:07, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm confused. I am trying to figure out why you deleted Category:USS Mitscher (DDG 57). Did it have a meaningful revision history? Geo Swan (talk) 00:04, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
