Agricultural Inspection Stations revisted[edit]

Remember that message from last year about separate categories for agricultural inspection stations? Here's a list of Agricultural inspection stations along the roads of Florida. Just something I thought you ought to know, anytime you get some road pics near the Florida border. ----DanTD (talk) 13:41, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Flagler County I-95 Weigh Station[edit]

You probably already know this, since you drove through I-95 in Flagler County, Florida, but there is also a southbound weigh station across from the pictures you took of the northbound one. Do you plan to rename the category once images of the southbound weigh station turn up? ----DanTD (talk) 15:30, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, good idea. --Mjrmtg (talk) 16:43, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Former weigh stations on I-95 in South Carolina[edit]

I have at least two images of another former weigh station on Interstate 95 in South Carolina;

  • This southbound truck parking area...
    This southbound truck parking area...
  • .. used to be a weigh station.
    .. used to be a weigh station.

And as you know, I already created a category for the former Florence County Rest Areas, so if you feel like adding a category or two for the former rest areas, go ahead. Any chance you have more weigh station images? ----DanTD (talk) 17:59, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

File:2015-02-27 中正紀念堂.jpg[edit]

Hi, I noticed this diff where you added "Category:Zhongzheng Park (Fengyuan)". Can you explain why?--Kai3952 (talk) 21:20, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the photo was on a wikipage https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015%E5%B9%B4%E4%B8%AD%E6%AD%A3%E7%B4%80%E5%BF%B5%E5%A0%82%E9%8A%85%E5%83%8F%E6%B1%99%E6%90%8D%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6 and the wikipage had a category on it. I thought I added that category correctly to the photo. Sorry if that was not the correct category to add to the photo. --Mjrmtg (talk) 21:52, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The file name shows that the photographer's purpose is to show his camera date and location. However, the category "Zhongzheng Park (Fengyuan)" shows that it is a park located in Fengyuan District, Taichung. That in my humble opinion, the file have a clear information to ditinguish between 中正紀念堂 and Zhongzheng Park (Fengyuan), so I think that such mistakes should not have happened on the Wikimedia Commons.--Kai3952 (talk) 17:03, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There was no category on the photo prior to the one I added, sorry I added the wrong category, change it how you would like it. --Mjrmtg (talk) 17:58, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Categories won't show up on templates[edit]

You've often created county-specific categories for US and Interstate Highways. Have you ever had a problem with any of those categories not showing up in the templates? Because I can't get Category:U.S. Route 98 in Polk County, Florda to show up with all the other counties sharing that template. ----DanTD (talk) 14:32, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It could be a caching problem. I've added categories to a photo to replace other categories and it still showed up in the original category hours later, eventually it fixed itself. --Mjrmtg (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as you can see, I found out just what I did wrong; I misspelled the category. Now it's fixed. ----DanTD (talk) 02:31, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you spotted it - looked correct to me. --Mjrmtg (talk) 21:44, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Business routes[edit]

I removed all the sub cats and added the overarching cat for these routes Famartin (talk) 12:06, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After seeing your edits, I understand how to use the business routes cat now. Thanks. --Mjrmtg (talk) 17:08, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]


Ocala Regal Multiplex Cinema[edit]

I just thought I'd let you know that you can now cross one requested image from Ocala, Florida off your list. ----DanTD (talk) 14:24, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Regal Cinemas and Hollywood IMAX is one you don't have to worry about tracking down. I should swipe that part of your list.
Thanks for letting me know. --Mjrmtg (talk) 15:45, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re: File:2015-02-27 中正紀念堂.jpg[edit]

Mjrmtg, I am not sure whether you will receive my reply, so I'm sorry to bother you again. You seem to disagree with my edits because I done that – I have added Category:Bronze Statue Hall (Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall). That's okay, I know what you meant. Now I have removed the category from File:2015-02-27 中正紀念堂.jpg and added Category:Unidentified locations in Taiwan.--Kai3952 (talk) 13:43, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your reply. --Mjrmtg (talk) 13:44, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Views from X[edit]

First of all, please be aware that all the work you are doing is greatly appreciated!

Having said that, while it is fairly obvious how the categories "View from X" (with X being a road, highway, etc.) are being used, the naming of the categories is confusing and their role can, and probably should be, filled in a different way. When this editor sees a caregory entitled "Views from X", the category obviously implies that the media (images, videos, etc) included in the category will be objects, features, views, vistas, etc. that can be seen from X. However, the name also intrinsically implies that X itself is usually not included in the media, or at least only incidentally (ancillarily, secondarily, etc.). Just of few of the many, many examples of such categories in Commons include the following:

However, in the case of roads, highways, etc., these categories are being utilized in an opposite manner; meaning that the categories include the road itself as the primary focus of the media. Therefore, this editor would strongly suggest the following:

  • Limit the use of the "Views from X" categories to vistas from X, just as they are for the Views from X categories that don't include roads
  • Images of the road itself should remain in the main category, or subcategory, if applicable. To avoid overcrowding the categories should be sub-divided by state (which they usually are already) and further by county (also often the case, but an issue still being worked).

An example of this utilization is California State Route 1 and Views from California State Route 1. (Notwithstanding, California State Route 1 should still be subdivided by county.)

Your thoughts regarding this suggestion would be extremely welcome. An Errant Knight (talk) 22:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In your example of Views from California State Route 1 how does one even know that these are photos taken while on California State Route 1? Also want to ask, if I am standing at on end of a footbridge and take a photo straight ahead showing my future path along the footbridge is that not a View from Bridge? I can see your argument but like I said it is impossible to verify that those photos were taken while someone was on California State Route 1. I did not create the original Views from roads categories and subcategories just thought they were a good idea to continue. You are the only one to voice concern with this category. What do you suggest? --Mjrmtg (talk) 11:49, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While the issue of verifying that a photo is actually taken from any specific point is valid, it can easily and broadly applied to most vista photos. Ultimately, in nearly all cases, one has to accept in good faith that a photo is taken from a certain point if it either appears to be or is purported to be taken from said point.
Taking a photo of a path from the same path certainly qualifies as a view from the path, but it could probably be most appropriately categorized as "Views of X from X".
This issue is somewhat related to the category class "Locations along X" (which was , which frequently used for all items are related to, but not an integral part of the applicable roads. Items included in this categories include populated places (or subcategories thereof), landforms (including bodies of water), structures that are not part of the road, etc.; but should not include bridges that are part of or cross over the road, interchanges, signs for the road, etc.
Still believe the suggestions already made are the least undesirable way to go. An Errant Knight (talk) 23:35, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Olustee tower in Olustee Battlefield.jpg[edit]

I just saw your picture of File:Olustee tower in Olustee Battlefield.jpg. That is a fire tower, is it not? ----DanTD (talk) 15:33, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you're correct. I'll add the category. --Mjrmtg (talk) 17:28, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Important message for file movers[edit]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
