Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Italy by region[edit]

Hi! At Commons:Bar italiano#‎WLM, cultural heritage e pulizia categorie we are discussing (among the other things) about which categories should go in the subcategories of Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Italy by region ... at the moment there is no clear criterion, so we want either to find one criterion either to empty these categories. As I saw that you put many categories in these categories, I'd want to ask you which criterion you followed and which criterion would you advice in order to rationally make use of these categories. Thank you very much! --Epìdosis 18:37, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

your assistance please...[edit]

I saw you have been removing categories like Category:2008 in Alberta, as you did here.

Have (some?) categories of this type been deprecated?

...Oh wait, are you only removing them when a more focussed category makes them redundant?

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 16:43, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Geo Swan: Yes, I've been creating more specific categories and updating files using Cat-a-Lot from the search interface. Unfortunately, this doesn't allow me to stack changes in one go, so I first add the more specific category, then delete the more general one(s). So, for the example you linked, the full set of changes for the file is these three edits. Mind matrix 16:47, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My programming mentor used to tell me that "10 % of the work takes 90 % of the time, and the other 90 % of the work takes the other 90 % of the time."
I think organizing and curating our images, so they can be found, when needed, is more important than the initiual uploading of them.
So, thanks for this, and for the prompt explanation.

Downsview Park Station[edit]

You recently sourced some photos from Flickr and retained the wrong title of "Downsville". Were you aware of this or do you use some kind of blind bot? Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:00, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Secondarywaltz: I use Flickr2Commons, which makes mass renaming difficult at best (each file must be renamed individually). I figured it would be easier for me to rename them once they were uploaded, though in retrospect, probably not. Mind matrix 19:06, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Secondarywaltz: I've moved all the files to use the correct name. A nice side effect is that the original name is now a redirect, so the same file cannot be uploaded under the author's given title (which is desirable when using tools like Flickr2Commons). Mind matrix 19:25, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it must be something like that. I'm not very active in uploads any more, but check what others are doing for copyright infractions etc. That's a huge chunk of GO Station images you've found. Thanks. Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:29, 6 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

People of Canada in 2019[edit]

Hi Mindmatrix, Category:People of Canada in 2019 on File:Andrew Scheer in Calgary (48249123487).jpg is a bit redundant since it is tagged as Category:Andrew Scheer in 2019 which includes Category:Politicians of Canada in 2019. Thanks for the organization some of my uploads though. Cheers. // sikander { talk } 🦖 16:43, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violations[edit]

Hello Mindmatrix.

You have uploaded one or more files that are copyright violations. You have done so despite requests from editors not to do so, and despite their instructions. See Commons:Licensing for the copyright policy on Wikimedia Commons. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter useful.

This is your last warning. The next time you upload a file that violates copyright, you will be blocked. Please leave me a message if you have further questions.

--Yuraily Lic (talk) 17:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Yuraily Lic: Most of those are a result of batch uploads from Flickr, in which one or two files out of hundreds contain such copyvios. I usually take care to remove them from the batch, but some get through. Of those that do, I usually nominate most of them myself, but sometimes a few remain and are caught by others. (Moreover, when I inspect the files after upload, I sometimes catch other deletion-worthy files uploaded by other users as a side-effect.) Mind matrix 18:54, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Email copy[edit]

Hey, this is the email I sent earlier: Hi Mindmatrix, Are you going through all of my uploads and changing categories as needed? If so, can I ask how you're doing it? Are you using a tool or a gadget to figure out which images you have already processed? I'm curious because Commons interface for a category is difficult to navigate without pagination. Also, thanks for fixing categories.

Cheers! // sikander { talk } 🦖 01:29, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sikander: I sometimes edit thousands of files per day, so I'm not sure to which files you are referring (I'm not targetting your uploads), but most of my categorization changes are performed by conducting a search (using the Wikimedia search feature) restricted to files in a particular category that also match some other criterion. For example, I might search Category:2001 in Toronto for files that also include "August 2001" (like so). I use the gadget Cat-a-lot to process the results, usually taking the following steps:

Activate Cat-a-lot
Select files to process.
In cat-a-lot, navigate to the desired target directory (in this case, Category:August 2001 in Toronto) - this will show the target directory, its sub-directories (if any), and its parent directories
Use Cat-a-lot to add the more suitable directory to the selected files (ie - clicking '+' adjacent to the target directory), then dismiss the 'done' message when Cat-a-lot has finished.
Select the same set of files, and remove the now superfluous categories with repeated use of Cat-a-lot (eg - '2001 in Toronto', 'August 2001 in Ontario', 'August 2001 in Canada') etc. (this may require processing each file several times) - click on '-' in Cat-a-lot

Note that for date categorization, care should be taken to exclude files uploaded on that date but taken on a different date. These are usually easy to find (but not always) because the search result typically only includes the filename and date info, whereas files created on the specified date are also presented with a description. When you first do this, open a few of the images in the results page in other browser tabs and inspect each for upload date and the Exif date (the 'date' field in the information panel is not always correct; then again, the Exif date may also not be correct). Of course, by restricting the search for files in Category:2001 in Toronto, other 2001 images of Toronto will be excluded.

Also note that I tend to add other restrictions, as search results are often polluted with irrelevant files. The most common one I use is '-pdf'.

If there are more than 20 results, I usually click a link at the bottom to list 100, 250, or 500 results, as this can mean significantly fewer steps to take.

I hope this helps. If you'd like a hand for a trial run, ping me sometime when I'm editing on Commons and I'd be glad to help out. Mind matrix 02:16, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nice, thank you for the detailed notes. I do have Cat-a-lot activated and have used it a few times, but definitely need more experience with it before using as extensively as you do. Will ping you if I get stuck somewhere. Thanks for the helpful info. // sikander { talk } 🦖 12:55, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fix for template problem[edit]

Hi, your user talk page currently has too many templates in it for the system to cope with transcluding. If you want, this account can be added to the talk page trimmer which "shrinks" standard notifications to reduce the number of templates. Please ping me here or leave a note on my user talk page if you would like to opt-in to this. Thanks --Fæ (talk) 12:23, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding your talk page to the talk page trimmer[edit]

Hi, based on discussion at the administraor's noticeboard and at the village pump, there is a consensus to go ahead with adding user talk pages like this one that have exceeded the maximum transclusion count to be processed by the talk page trimmer. These changes should make your talk page more readable without losing any content, and other users have asked to be added to this housekeeping task for this reason.

Please leave a note on my user talk page if you would like to opt-out. If you revert the changes they are likely to be re-implemented by Faebot unless you opt-out. Thanks --Fæ (User talk:Fæ) 10:35, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
