Your phantastic pictures

"Hi Ddalbiez. I really appreciate your beautiful pictures of Khmer temples in Thailand. Thank you for uploading. But I have one request: please add a category to your pictures! I did that already for your temple pictures, but there are still some photos without any category - because I don't know of a "General Dalbiez-Boite". Thank you. --hdamm (talk) 18:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)"

Thank you so much for your help, Heinrich. I added a category for the pictures of my Great Grand father welcoming General Lyautey.

I have a generic issue: it seems I cannot use categories from the French Wikipedia for the Pictures in Wikimedia commons? I probably don't uderstand how it works? Cheers, and thanks again.

That's right, you just can use those categories that are already defined within Commons. Alternativly you can create a new category, but please add also categories to this one for other people to find it again ;-)

Prasat Phnom Wan

Hello Thank you for helping me categorizing my pictures. I have an issue though, with the category Prasat Hin Phanom Wan: I don't have a problem with the different translitteration Phanom/Phnombut I don't agree on including the word Hin, used only for Phimai. Could you rename the category into Prasat Phanom Wan or Prasat Phnom Wan? Thank you. Dom Ddalbiez

I named it Prasat Hin Phanom Wan in accordance with Thai Wikipedia, as they have an article called th:ปราสาทหินพนมวัน. Khmer temples in Thailand are often called Prasat Hin (="stone palace") - OTOH when you look into Google, the "ปราสาทพนมวัน" (Prasat Phanom Wan) has about 29,500 hits while "ปราสาทหินพนมวัน" (Prasat Hin ...) has only 4000 hits. So its not totally wrong. --hdamm (talk) 09:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
