Art of/Art in[edit]

Hello. As is so often the case, the art categories are inconsistent across the board. Having been categorizing so many monuments and memorials this past year, I've found most categories are "Art of". It didn't occur to me that there should be a different convention for cities, although maybe that should be the case. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 03:15, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unidentified?[edit]

In what sense are File:Rainier Beer - filling bottles - 1900.jpg and File:Rainier Beer - bottle storage - 1900.jpg "Unidentified beverage bottles"? They are beer bottles, and already categorized as such. Even the brand is not in doubt. - Jmabel ! talk 01:36, 23 March 2011 (UTC) Similarly File:Rainier Beer - washing bottles - 1900.jpg and File:Rainier Beer - tinfoiling - 1900.jpg. - Jmabel ! talk 01:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you're saying, and it's a matter of my poor wording. See my response on the CFD. - Themightyquill (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain this edit? I don't see any problem.--Sevela.p 15:58, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could you kindly hold off on the speedies?[edit]

At least let Commons:Deletion requests/File:A 4 Litre Cask of Australian White Wine.jpg run through to see if there is consensus to overturn the Foundation lawyer's opinion on the matter. If this good faith request is not workable then please AfD them rather than speedy. Agne27 (talk) 20:13, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing, as long as you put back the copyvio tags you removed if that deletion goes ahead. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:23, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blank map of Europe in 1920[edit]

Hi, Thanks for leaving a message on my talk page about File:Blank map of Europe in 1920.svg, unforunately I just don't have the skills to work with vector graphic images and have screwed up one way or another every time I have tried to alter them. If I were to give you an accurate version in png format could you translate it into svg? If you can't can you direct me to someone who can? Thanks, Maps & Lucy (talk) 13:52, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why deleted ?[edit]

Hello. You deleted Cécémel_assortiment.jpg. This is a picture I took myself at the request of the contributor Avatar (here's the proof!) representing different bricks, cup and glassware of Cécémel in possession of the inn of the en:Gourmet Museum and Library where I free work.

I don't understand why you deleted it. And why pictures in Coca-Cola or Category:Lipton (tea) or Category:Jupiler_beer can stay...

The picture shows packagings of Cécémel as sold by supermarkets and grocery stores in French-speaking Belgium and typical cup and glassware used for this product in the coffeehouses of Belgium to serve this drink. There are therefore objects of common utilities and packaging just as common...

So I thank you to restore this picture.

Wine images & fair use uploading[edit]

Hello "quill", in Commons:Deletion requests/File:Gewürztraminer SGN 1989 label.jpg you suggested that I upload the image in question as "fair use" instead. Thanks for the encouraging suggestion, but since I'm a contributor to several language versions (as Tomas_e), I usually don't bother with uploading to English Wikipedia only.

American Indian vs. "Native Americans in the United States"[edit]

Why did you do this? I am American Indian and I do not like the term "Native American" to describe us. Anyone born in the Americas (For example: someone named Schultz born in Argentine is a "Native American") is a Native American. Are you an official of Wikipedia? Was there a discussion at Wikipedia about this change? Has Wikipedia decided that this is the official opinion of Wikipedia?

When I enter my photos (many of which had their category changed due to your apparent efforts) as American Indian in their category, I mean it. If someone wants to ALSO ADD it to another category, that is up to them.
