Thanks for your quick response. I understand your point. I have seen that you added something to the description. A city/province helps to categorize and makes it easier for others to find your photos. I copy this answer also on your user page. Wouter (talk) 21:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Notification about possible deletion
Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.
If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.
Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
Please, feel free to edit the photo Silvia Penide.jpg or any other I've uploaded. Sadly, I actually haven't any tool in my computer to change the sharpness, brightness and contrast of the pictures (in fact, I use the CropTool to edit some pictures I upload). I'll really appreciate if you can improve the picture.
Hallo Wouterhagens, de filename komt nogal verwarrend over. Bij mijn weten is anti-alg een middel om algen uit zwembaden weg te houden. De talenknobbels in het Taalcafé zullen hier wel een antwoord op hebben. Lotje (talk) 05:57, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Algen op vijverHallo Lotje, commercieel is anti-alg vooral belangrijk bij zwembaden en het verwijderen van algen op daken (dakpannen), gevels, bestrating en tegels. Hier ging het om een experiment om op een milieu-vriendelijke manier algen te bestrijden/voorkomen bij een vijver. Daar kon het zeer erg voorkomen, zie plaatje. De filenaam is naar mijn mening dus niet verwarrend. Wouter (talk) 08:25, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Geen probleem, ik heb enkel de typo gecorrigeerd. Weet je wat ook goed is tegen algen? Graskappers zijn ook uitstekend geschikt om de algengroei tegen te gaan, maar bij een visvijver kan dit dan misschien voor problemen zorgen. Groetjes. Lotje (talk) 04:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

speedy_deletion request for File:Azerbaijani-speaking_population_in_Iran.jpg
I suggest to put your question at Commons Helpdesk. If you want an image deleted, go to the page with the image. In the left column you see a link with text something like "nominate for deletion". The next screen gives the opportunity to explain why you want to have the image deleted. I have seen that you are an user since today. It may be that the possibility to nominate an image for deletion is not availabe yet. That may take a week. Once the image is deleted in Wikimedia Commons it is at the same time deleted in all Wikipedia pages where the image is used. Wouter (talk) 13:14, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Gianni Burattoni Photo Jean Ribet P1030200.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:Gianni Burattoni Photo Jean Ribet P1030200.JPG]]) and the above demanded information in your request.
It is probably best to leave red linked categories for a person's name in place, rather than deleted them. Many times I have created a category only to find it is already populated with other images, it is just no one has turned the red link blue yet. Sometimes the category name is the only way to know that the named person is in the photo. RAN (talk) 14:43, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
OK good idea. Often I check whether there are more images in the red linked category. If there are more images of good quality and there is no WP article, I search with Google to find out more of the person and if so I create a “blue” category. Sometimes I copy the red category name in the description, when there is only a meaningless description such as “private photo”. I do this only for good quality photos.

Hi!
For a German magazine we would like to use the image "File:Expo58 building Philips.jpg" that you uploaded on Wikimedia Commons.
Concerning the rights status: Is it safe to use it in the print magazine? How should we state the copyright/credit line? Who is the photographer? Who owns the copyright?
I would appreciate it very much if you could get back to me as soon as possible.
No problem in using it. I took the photo long ago. Please mention "Wikimedia Commons, Wouter Hagens". Best regards, Wouter (talk) 12:07, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
Community Insights Survey
Share your experience in this survey
Hi Wouterhagens/Archives/2018/,
The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in a survey about your experience with Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia. The purpose of this survey is to learn how well the Foundation is supporting your work on wiki and how we can change or improve things in the future. The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation.
A couple of weeks ago, we invited you to take the Community Insights Survey. It is the Wikimedia Foundation’s annual survey of our global communities. We want to learn how well we support your work on wiki. We are 10% towards our goal for participation. If you have not already taken the survey, you can help us reach our goal! Your voice matters to us.
There are only a few weeks left to take the Community Insights Survey! We are 30% towards our goal for participation. If you have not already taken the survey, you can help us reach our goal!
With this poll, the Wikimedia Foundation gathers feedback on how well we support your work on wiki. It only takes 15-25 minutes to complete, and it has a direct impact on the support we provide.
Putting images directly into top-level Category:Yoga
Hi, I've noticed you've marked some images to go into the top-level category Yoga. This is at the head of quite a large hierarchy of categories and we wouldn't expect individual images in the top category --- they must belong somewhere in the tree (or perhaps, a new subcategory needs to be created). For example we have a category "Naam Yoga" (inside "Yoga Schools") and we also have "Yoga by Country" so yoga displays in any country can have a (new) category "Yoga in <country name>". All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:45, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
You are completely right Chriswick. As I am working predominantly on Category:Media needing categories ... I add categories to images. When I am not so familiar with the subject I may put them in a top-level category hoping that people familiar with the subject put them in the right sub-categories. In my opinion is that better than no category at all, because then nobody can find the image in particular when the description is not good. Wouter (talk) 10:25, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
Well I kind of understand but all the same it's a complete pain as I have to keep emptying out the top-level category. I see you tried using Category:Asana lately which is one step better but still a cause for immediate action! All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:33, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Flamuri gjo lulit.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.
Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Flamuri gjo lulit.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.
Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
Thanks for the warning. Sometimes I don't get the option to add a category like this one but I have to select a more detailed category. I will ask in the Village pump more info. I have removed the images in the mean time. Wouter (talk) 19:05, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Ik heb geen idee waarom ik 11 jaar geleden "Malawi" als categorie heb toegevoegd. Het enige dat ik kan speculeren is dat er bij het gebruik van HotCat iets fout is gegaan. Bedankt dat je het hebt verbeterd. Wouter (talk) 19:17, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Hallo Wouterhagens, kun je op Wikimedia Category:Verblijfskunde hernoemen naar een internationaal gebruikte benaming, of misschien is er al een bestaande categorie met een Engelse term ?
Daarnaast zou ik voorstellen dat je niet foto's van individuele schoolstraten, mensenstraten en leefstraten in die categorie steekt, maar enkel categorieën gebruikt met de naam "School streets" of iets dergelijks. Ik wil wel helpen meedenken met het maken van categorieën hiervoor.
Dovaere (talk) 03:13, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Bedankt voor je opmerking Dovaere. Als er een Engelse gebruikte benaming zou zijn, zou ik die hebben gebruikt. In het Wikipedia artikel staan uitsluitend Nederlandse verwijzingen. Het punt was dat er veel foto's waren zonder categorie waardoor ze eigenlijk niet te vinden zijn. Daarbij is de omschrijving als "streets4all" ook niet behulpzaam om foto's te vinden. Gezien het feit dat je zo snel reageerde na het maken van de categorie heb ik de indruk dat je betrokken bent bij het onderwerp. Als je een betere benaming weet kan de inhoud van de categorie overgeheveld worden en van de categorie "Verblijfskunde" een {{Category redirect|.....}} gemaakt worden. Alle verbeteringen zijn welkom.
