Porcelain coins
[edit]@PoundTales: , I noticed that you added "Porcelain coins" to this category and removed them from the images in them, this is not wise, not all images in this category are Porcelain coins (the cowry ones for example are made from shells). So it might be wise to reverse those changes. Also, modern gambling tokens tend to be plastic coins and would also fall in the scope of this category. By virtue of how copyright works most of the images currently in the category are of older gambling tokens, but these aren't the only ones. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:25, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- All but one of the images in this category were also in the category Porcelain coins. What I did was to divide the Porcelain coin category into subcategories, so that the German and Thailand examples are no longer intermixed. Rather than create a new subcategory for the Thailand examples, I simply added the existing category. I am not an expert in Thailand coinage, so I'll have to leave it to others to refine things, but I've at least provided a better starting point. Before my changes, the main category simply had intermixed images with no indication of the country of origin, which is also not wise. If you have more expertise on the Thailand examples, please be my guest and create a subcategory for "Porcelain coins of Thailand", and move the appropriate images into it. Just don't move them back into the main category. Thanks! PoundTales (talk) 09:54, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Then the best solution is to have a category for Thai porcelain coins and then these would currently have a full overlap, but then if someone wants to upload, let's say a metal, plastic, or wooden gambling token then they wouldn't be confused by this category also including "Porcelain coins", so I'll be copying the images to a new category specifically for "Porcelain coins of Thailand". --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 22:50, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
