Please Stop moving to City Council

Local government areas are known as City of, Shire and some rare cases will have Council but moving City of Liverpool to Liverpool City Council was incorrect. The City Council is the administration not the government area. Bidgee (talk) 21:42, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bidgee: the name of the LGA is Liverpool City Council though and not “The City of Liverpool”. Is there something I’m missing? That’s the official name of the LGA. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 21:50, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Liverpool City Council is not the LGA. Please do not move things you do not understand and please use COM:CFD from now on. Bidgee (talk) 21:52, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bidgee: Can you provide a source for that? I live in that LGA. Incidentally, I’ve been taking photos of the whole of the LGA, what do you think? I’ve noticed some fantastic photos you have taken, really great work! Anyway, if you could provide a source, I’d really appreciate it so I don't make mistakes. Peace :-) Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 21:57, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further more Dictionary of Sydney states that Liverpool City Council is the administration. LGA’s are named differently with the exception of some of the recent amalgamated LGAs. Bidgee (talk) 22:07, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Bidgee: , I understand, but that wasn’t what I asked. Do you have a source that the LGA is officially called the City of Liverpool? It was my understanding, and backed up by the article Liverpool City Council in Wikipedia, that the LGA is now know as Liverpool City Council. I’m happy to be proven wrong, however it’s a bit confronting to be told I’m changing something I don’t know anything about, but no sources for the assertion have been supplied.

I am very happy to take this to CFD if that is what is needed. Thank you though for taking the time to message me. I appreciate your hard work and experience on Commons! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 22:13, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I’m currently spending the day taking photos of Hinchinbrook, I’m happy to find a source myself when I get back home. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 22:14, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Office for Local Government typically uses just "Liverpool" however in one of the media releases the minister refers it to "city of Liverpool". Bidgee (talk) 22:19, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

and further the history of the NSW gazette shows that "City of Liverpool" is administrated by "Liverpool City Council", nothing has changed today. Bidgee (talk) 22:26, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Not actually a definitive statement but for now it will do, I’ll look up the appropriate registers when I get home. I hope you are having a good day! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 22:29, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

and NSW Gazette still has it as City of Liverpool. Bidgee (talk) 22:34, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bidgee: would you be willing to fix that on City of Liverpool (New South Wales)? - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 22:38, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Bidgee: thank you, and I am sorry about my mistake. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 22:52, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it's my place to comment on a LGA I'm not familiar with but I do know that the names change overtime. City of Randwick is now officially Randwick City Council. Municipality of Woollahra is now Woollahra Municipal Council. I know the CBD one is still 'City of Sydney' not 'Sydney City Council' even if you do look up their administration title it's still 'City of Sydney'. Looking up Liverpool is does appear to be 'Liverpool City Council' on all of their references. I think 'City of Liverpool' is their obsolete title. Mapper2000 (talk) 04:38, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bays in Australia and Category:Bays in New South Wales

I'm not sure what you intended to do with Category:Bays in Australia and Category:Bays in New South Wales, given that we already have the longstanding Category:Bays of Australia (created 2007) and Category:Bays of New South Wales (created in 2010). I don't see any need for these new categories in parallel to the already existing ones so I have redirected them. Calistemon (talk) 13:56, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Calistemon: Ah, I didn’t see those! I thought it was odd we didn’t have a bays category :-) really appreciate you fixing this up, and I also appreciate the message. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 14:21, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Most such categories (e.g. for natural features like rivers, lake, etc) for Australia and a large amount for the states and territories should already exist. If it doesn't show up under "of", try "in" and vice-versa. It's not always uniform. Happy editing! Calistemon (talk) 14:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks mate, this is definitely great advice. If you do see any other problems, please let me know and feel free to correct! My goal is to get our NSW LGA categories straightened a little - my true goal is to document first the South West and then move outwards. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 14:29, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Similar sort of question: Do we require Category:Rivers through New South Wales when we already have Category:Rivers of New South Wales? Calistemon (talk) 19:46, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Argh! I missed it again. No, of course now. I'll redirect. So sorry! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 20:16, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Calistemon I see you did it already - thank you :-) and once again, sorry about missing that category! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 20:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suburb of Sydney

Sorry, but your change to "Suburb of Sydney" has to be changed. It should be Suburbs of Sydney" etc. Sardaka (talk) 09:46, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sardaka no, that's not correct. There is literally a suburb called "Sydney". So to be clear, there is a region called Sydney, there is a City of Sydney and there is a Sydney CBD. And then in the Sydney CBD there is a suburb named Sydney. I didn't make this up :-) Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 10:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Sardaka (talk) 08:19, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sardaka all good. Incidentally, can I just say how much I admire your photography? It is amazing in its depth and quality - thank you so much for your efforts! I wish I could have such quality, it’s inspiring. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 08:22, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I created this map so I can explain that the area in blue is officially 'Sydney' itself. Everything in blue comes up with the address of 'Sydney, 2000' e.g. Maritime Museum, The Opera House, The NSW Art Gallery, Vibe Hotel. Technically speaking it's not a 'suburb', it's a 'city' however that's just semantics. I created this map as there was no existing map outlining the official overview of 'Sydney' itself. The 'City of Sydney' is the council LGA and the postcode 2000 is extended to the suburbs north and south of 'Sydney' including The Rocks, Dawes Point, Millers Point, Barangaroo and Haymarket with the Australia Post website also showing further use of the postcode 2000 with 'Parliament House' and 'Sydney South' which I've just included in 'Sydney'. The 'Sydney CBD' is a tricky one as you could say everything in blue is The 'Sydney CBD' but then you're including Darling Harbour and The Royal Botanic Garden as part of The CBD. Alternatively one could assume The Sydney CBD is unofficially carved within the boundaries of The Western Distributor, The Cahill Expressway, Macquarie Street, Elizabeth Street and Goulburn Street but that's just a guessing game really. I feel even if you were to email 'City of Sydney' they wouldn't be able to say what 'Sydney CBD' officially is, I bet they wouldn't even have a map like this which outlines 'Sydney' officially. Mapper2000 (talk) 03:34, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is strange. According to the NSW Planning Portal Spatial Viewer, they consider "Sydney" to be a city, but actually the City of Sydney is the LGA. So it's more like a suburb than a city. The Sydney CBD, however, is defined - I'll have to find the official PDF that showed the suburbs (the City of Sydney did another website redesign and now it's hard to find the info that was so easy to find only weeks ago!). - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 05:42, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the administrative council is 'City of Sydney' but when they say 'Sydney' is a city as in it's a city centre of the greater metropolitan region so it's an area that's like a suburb but officially it's not an actually suburb because it's not 'suburban' it's a city centre or as it's referred to 'Sydney Central Business District'. It's really just semantics, as far as Australia post is concerned 'Sydney 2000' acts like any other suburb for them I'm sure. I would love to see an officially defined map of Sydney CBD by City of Sydney Council because I couldn't find anything like that online and I just assumed the official city 'Sydney' (everything in blue) was as close as I'd ever get to a definition of The CBD. Mapper2000 (talk) 07:16, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, I actually got on the phone to the City of Sydney. You were correct in your early prediction: The CBD is informally pretty much the boundaries shown when you look at it on Google maps. I will see if I can find the PDF where they outlined this, but I may have lost it. I actually asked the City of Sydney for a copy of the map they use but they said it is for internal use only.

It seems like a lot of Sydney is informal. The only boundary-like things that are formalised are LGAs, suburbs, counties and parishes! So I really think your maps are very good. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 08:50, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you I really do appreciate that. This map is exact to suburb boundaries, the only slight shifts are the very southern parts of Central Station which I've put in yellow are actually in Chippendale and Prince Alfred Park also in yellow actually belongs to Surry Hills. I felt including all of Central Station and Prince Alfred Park in Inner City South was more appropriate than saying parts of Central Station are Inner City West and Prince Alfred Park is Inner City East when they're both directly south of The CBD and aren't residential. Mapper2000 (talk) 09:11, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It's not often we get any positive feedback around here. Sardaka (talk) 10:04, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sardaka I am constantly amazed by the work Australians are putting into commons. I just saw your shots of Berowra station - I used to live about 150 meters from the station and those brought back memories! Great shots, let me know if I can help associate anything with Wikidata. Perhaps one day we could colllaborate - even meet up with a group from commons! - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 18:14, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney Article on Wikivoyage

Hi Chris

If you genuinely like my maps of Sydney I would appreciate it if you perhaps included some feedback on https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Talk:Sydney. There I've been trying to improve and update the old district structure of Sydney however no one there is really backing up my new scheme with the new maps. Your feedback there would be very much appreciated. Just try not to get into any debates with the users on that talk page, they can be quite stubborn in their opinions of holding onto the old maps and their reasoning isn't really justified beyond pure complacency. If you don't want to get involved in the discussions I understand, just thought I'd ask. Mapper2000 (talk) 09:42, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infrastructure

Using a bit of common sense would be helpful before submitting these sort of images for deletion. It’s quite clear the works you object to are de minimus to the subject being photographed. Please think a little harder before submitting such images for deletion. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 08:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I feel sick of myself.

Hey, User:Chris.sherlock2. Do you remember me? I'm User:OperationSakura6144. I don't feel good here in WikiComms as I feel guilty of harassing User:ReneeWrites, User:SpinnerLaserzthe2nd, User:MacOS Weed, and others, and I can't talk to anyone or be myself because of that guilt.

You were there in the administrators' noticeboard when I was reported for calling User:MacOS Weed "a shameless piece of crap" in that category. Unlike User:ReneeWrites and User:MacOS Weed, both of which they ended talking to me with their sour statements, you talked to me in a tone I feel good. Even after the aftermath of being blocked by User:Bedivere, you told me to be friendly to others and control my emotions. You were there calming me after all, but, that didn't comfort me. I feel sick of myself and have been hard on myself, because of the fact I harassed people rather than requested them for help. When I even see the names of User:ReneeWrites or User:MacOS Weed, I feel disgusted thinking about what I did to them.

After the activity in Category:Symbol of municipalities in Japan images that should use vector graphics stopped, I feel even more depressed, because User:ReneeWrites and others moved on to other things that has nothing to do with Category:Symbol of municipalities in Japan images that should use vector graphics, the category I'm working on to vectorize images in that. That made me feel more depressed and lonely, and think I have no purpose in WikiComms and I'm wasting my time there. I can't think a better choice for me after all, due to all of that I've said.

I know you're not a psychiatrist, but I don't feel good here, after whatever has happeened to me. I hope you suggest me a better option for me to choose. But, please don't end up talking sour to me, that's what made me think I'm a jerk. Please, whatever you want to say, say it a little subtle for me. Thank you.

Category:Walking trails in Waringah Council is considered to fulfill the criteria for speedy deletion and has been marked on its page. The following reason has been specified:

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category
[edit]

English · español · français

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with either:

{{SD|C2}} ("unuseful empty category") if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available

{{SD|C1}} ("improperly named category") if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused (e.g. typos).

"C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. You could also use of the following:

{{badname|current category name}}

{{speedy|empty, misspelled category name}}

The above templates (SD, speedy, Badname) expand to full speedy deletion requests.
In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page. Blanked categories end up on Special:UncategorizedCategories, which is largely handled by non-admins who cannot delete the categories in question.
Thank you. (This is a standardized talk page message)

If you believe the content does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, you may replace the speedy deletion tag with a regular deletion request (if the content has not been deleted) or request undeletion (if the content has already been deleted).
All your uploads, including deleted ones, are listed in your upload log.
If you need help, please read our frequently asked questions or visit the help desk. Please do not remove this message from your talk page. You may set up archiving instead. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
