Hi, Hmains. I just gave you AutoWikiBrowser access. Sorry for delay. Taivo (talk) 17:45, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. --4nn1l2 (talk) 07:57, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Landscapes and Geography

Hi Hmains, you've added "Geography" categories to some "Landscapes" categories. Please note that there is some confusion as to what "Landscapes" stands for. According to the description and categorization in Category:Landscapes, this is not really a "Geography" topic. Geographical entities can be found in Category:Regions. Adding the "Geography" cat to the landscape views may add to the confusion. Regards, --Sitacuisses (talk) 12:00, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

• Thanks for the note. What I found was that many country landscape categories were already children of their geography categories and Category:Landscapes by country was a child of Category:Geography by country, so I proceeded to make things uniform by adding the remaining country geography categories as parents. Whether the whole scheme is right or wrong I don't know. I suppose for navigation purposes various editors found that Geography to Landscapes was a good path. I do find Category:Landscapes narrative to be particularly unhelpful in saying this "Geographical entities can be found in Category:Regions" Of course, regions are only one subcat of the entire topic of Category:Geography in Commons and the real world. Hmains (talk) 16:45, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

The main cat Category:Landscapes doesn't seem to be part of the Geography tree. Unfortunately, we still have some regions where the Landscapes tree is being used to categorize regions, in defiance of the description in Category:Landscapes; e.g. Category:Landscapes of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (in German, "Landschaft" and "Region" are synonyms). Ideally, each Landscape category would have a description that mirrors the one in Category:Landscapes, especially if it has been added to the Geography tree. --Sitacuisses (talk) 22:40, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

It might help. Hmains (talk) 03:13, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Metacategory names

I think you are naming some of your new metacategories incorrectly. For example, Category:Mountains by continent by dependent territory should be named Category:Mountains by dependent territory by continent. The part that is variable in the subcategory names goes last, with a corresponding change in the order of the metacat template parameters. --Auntof6 (talk) 02:46, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

OK, I'll try that. Thanks Hmains (talk) 02:55, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

AWB advice

Under options, there is an option for "Do not use edit section summaries." If you turn that on, you won't be posting "top" for each edit. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:56, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

I did not know. Now set up as indicated. Thanks. Hmains (talk) 19:07, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

File:Conheça Goa, o estado indiano com idioma português.webm

Pay attention to the title of the video: "Get to know Goa, the Portuguese-speaking Indian state" Category:Road signs in Goa is clearly not the right category. Perfektsionist (talk) 15:53, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I now see it. Thanks. Hmains (talk) 17:42, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation for villages in West Bengal

Hi, I have noticed that you are changing the name of the categories of some of the villages. I think, that wont be necessary for now as there are lots of villages with the same name and it would make it very difficult for me to categorize the future images coming from those villages as it would lead to lots of duplication of works. There are plans to get photographs from those villages in future, so please keep the categories as it is now at least for villages located in West Bengal. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 06:06, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

• thanks. I will not change any other names in these West Bengal villages Hmains (talk) 06:16, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. I am reverting latest of such edits on Commons and Wikidata. By the way, it is totally fine to keep sub-categorizing populated places as per villages, so no need to stop that part. :-) -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 06:24, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

I have just created a navigation template for districts of West Bengal. You can use that while working on villages or other areas of West Bengal on Commons. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 07:24, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

ok, thanks Hmains (talk) 21:19, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Rotation requests

Dear Hmains, you requested a 35° rotation for File:Basilica from the side.jpg. You may test yourself using this link https://croptool.toolforge.org/?title=Basilica_from_the_side.jpg If the image is rotated by 35° so much content is lost that the resulting image is nearly useless.

Same for File:MiniaturTeil7x4cmSDIM2006.jpg, File:Sea shore 4.jpg, File:Shantadurga Fatorpa 1.JPG, File:Shantadurga Fatorpa 2.JPG, File:Udaipur Mural (5580916197).jpg, and File:Zor.JPG

Is it OK for you when I remove your requests? --Sebastian Wallroth (talk) 06:50, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

ok course, do as you think is best. Sometimes, I cannot fully tell what the result will be using just the tiny image provided on the rotation page. Thanks for all. Hmains (talk) 16:49, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Renaming request of Category:Julto Pul Hanging Bridge

Hello.

Can you rename Category:Julto Pul Hanging Bridge to Category:Morbi Hanging Bridge?

In Gujarati, Julto Pul means "hanging bridge" and the name as it stands makes no sense. That is why the category should be named according to bridges location in the city of Morbi.

Yours sincerely, Multituberculata (talk) 06:53, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, I understand your concern and help. However, once a category is nominated for discussion, I understand that no one is supposed to change the category until the discussion is concluded. I don't know what the process is for getting to a conclusion. Sorry Hmains (talk) 06:59, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the reply. I understand. So it means, it is going to take a while, before a decision about it is made. Multituberculata (talk) 07:03, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Category:Wikimedia Movement Strategy 2030, Hindi Community Salon, Bhopal September 2017

Why did you remove this from Category:Events in Bhopal and Category:2017 in Bhopal? They both seem accurate. Wasn't the event in September 2017 in Bhopal? Ricky81682 (talk) 07:51, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

In general, wiki internals are not placed in main space. I have never found more than few wiki items (meeting/conferences/education) in main space. Such 'events' are not of the same order as a city or temple festival, for example. Thanks. Hmains (talk) 05:21, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Anchetti taluk. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).
