This is not a "minor" crop and the file is in use, please upload as a new file per COM:OVERWRITE.--Bidgee (talk) 05:55, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A crop that is thought to improve the image is not against the guidelines. However once contested, splitting has to be used. The crop tool makes it easier. --Fæ (talk) 07:51, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, well it's a crap image anyway, which I have replaced at all the major articles using it. Johnbod (talk) 15:21, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Guan ware[edit]

Hi John,

Unless specified, any ceramics produced in the imperial kiln is a Guan ware. Therefore I removed Category:Stoneware of the Song dynasty in Category:Guan ware. Feel free to create Category:Guan ware of the Song dynasty if necessary. -Mys_721tx (talk) 20:14, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this is complete nonsense, in English! Guan ware is a very specific type - others would be "imperial wares". You can't import Chinese terms straight into English. This page may help you with appropriate term in Chinese. Johnbod (talk) 22:23, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Per the article en:Guan ware, The Asian sources ([1], [2], [3], [4]) use Guan ware as "the literally translated sense to cover any 'official' wares ordered by the Imperial court". In those sources, when discussing the crackling ceramics produced by the one of the five famous kilns, "Guan ware" is specified as Song Guan ware, and the later imitations Guan-type ware.
  2. Apart from the issues of translation, File:Chinese ceramics in V&A DSCF3471 13.jpg is made during Yuan dynasty, and the various artifacts under Category:Imitations of Guan ware are from Ming and Qing dynasties.
The second point of my argument can also be made for Category:Ge ware. Therefore I believe it is better to leave the period on individual file instead of the whole category. -Mys_721tx (talk) 00:12, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The sources in English use "Guan ware" as Guan ware does - I'm not sure what you're trying to say here (Note also some Ming Jun ware was stamped with "Guan"). The dates are always rather a matter of estimation, and the situation is complicated by later imitations, and inconsistent terminology, but there is no doubt that both Ge and Guan ware can essentially be described as Song stoneware, and it is best to categorize them accordingly. Settting-up a sub-cat for Ge-type ware (in the sense of later porcelain imitations), as I did for Guan in 2016, was a good idea, so thanks for that. Johnbod (talk) 00:41, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The Jun ware example is exactly the point I want to make: In Asian sources, the discussion of Guan ware in its stricter sense is always accompanied by a qualifier, i.e. Song (dynasty) Guan ware. In its stricter sense, only the ceramics produced by the imperial kiln in Kaifeng during Northern Song dynasty and the two imperial kilns in Hangzhou during Southern Song dynasty are considered Guan ware. In its boarder sense, anything that came out of the imperial kilns is considered a Guan ware. The Ru ware, Jun ware, and later Jingdezhen ware produced by the imperial kilns have all been considered Guan ware. I agree that it would be less ambiguous to refer Guan ware in its broader sense as imperial wares. -Mys_721tx (talk) 02:11, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No one in English ever uses "Guan ware" for all imperial wares. The word is not translated and has a specific meaning in English and other Western languages. You can't expect Commons or other English sources to follow the literal Chinese meaning. I absolutely DON'T "agree that it would be less ambiguous to refer Guan ware in its broader sense as imperial wares" - this would go against all established use of terminology in Western languages, and be hoplelessly confusing. What you call it in Chinese-language labels is a different matter. By all means add a note in Chinese explaining the issue if you like, and give it a different name in Chinese. Johnbod (talk) 02:44, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What I was agreeing to is your initial proposal that 官窑 in its borader sense should be refered to as imperial ware and 官窑 in its stricter sense as Guan ware. I fail to see the reason of your objection.
Additionally, at least three non-Asian authors have used "Guan ware" as wares from different kilns. There is another that Google does not give enough preview and is omitted.
  1. Valenstein 1988 p. 109
  2. Clunas 2004 p. 102
  3. Charles 2001 pp. 124-132
-Mys_721tx (talk) 04:23, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but this is all "Guan ware", of that particular stoneware type. If you want a category for all imperial wares, it should be called that or "Official wares", not Guan. In fact this is probably a bad idea, as what is and is not imperial/official ware gets far too uncertain and complicated. Better to stick to more certain terms like "Jingdezhen ware".

iznic ceramics in the gulbenkian museum : overcat[edit]

Hi Johnbod, I think your last categorization in these files are overcategorization because there is allready a category "Iznic ceramics in the Gulbenkian museum" which is itself in the category "Iznic ceramics"? Faithfully yours.--Faqscl (talk) 08:50, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably - I found them in the "stone-paste" category & have now made the main category "Iznic ceramics" a sub-cat of that. Johnbod (talk) 17:02, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
