Would you please....

Would you please stop ignoring the fact that many of the items which you are moving from "X in New York" categories actually belong in "X in New York City" categories and not in "X in New York (state)" categories. The old "X in New York" categories are ambiguous, as "New York" could refer to either the state or the city, so they collected items that were relevant to both, but New York Ciiy has half the population of the state, and the majority of the notable buildings. Your moving everything in "X in New York" to "X in New York (state)" is just making work for other editors, work which you, as he instigator of the move, should be dealin weith yourself, instad of simply mechanically" categories moving all the contents of the "New York" categories to the "New York {state}" categories. Please do the right thing and separate the contents into those that should be in "New York (state)" and those that should be in "New York zcity"/ If you are unaware of the differences, then please stop making these changes. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 12:40, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

So, you're going to simply ignore this complaint and go ahead with what you were doing? Not very collegaial behavior. Beyond My Ken (talk) 02:07, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I was just trying to help with the conversion. I appreciate the diligent work done by editors and definitely do not want to make extra work for others. I will consult the item's corresponding Wikipedia article to determine whether it belongs in the state or city category before performing any further moves. However, I have not made any edits since you posted your first comment; my last one was at approximately 04:49 1 March 2018 UTC, about 7 hours before your first post. Waz8 (talk) 03:48, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

OK, thanks for that, and I'm sorry if I got the timeline wrong. You usually don't need to check the Wikipedia articles, there's usually enough info on an image or category page to indicate whether it's in NYC or not. Just keep in mind that the NYC cats have a category structure which is equivalent to the NY state structure, just one step down. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:49, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Sounds good -- I will place each item in either the state or equivalent city category. Waz8 (talk) 02:47, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks very much, I really appreciate your cooperation. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:50, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

File tagging File:Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.JPG

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.JPG. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.JPG]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

@Explicit: I have no evidence of permission for this image, since I merely transferred it to Commons based on the Wikipedia uploader claiming to be the owner and publishing it under a suitable license. I am sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused and do not object to it being deleted. Waz8 (talk) 02:04, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
