Cropping - and overwriting - files

Hello Franzekafka!
If you need cropped versions of photographs please do NOT just overwrite the original files! That's rude. Instead you can - should - upload them with a new name. For example by adding "...(crop).jpg" at the end of the name. --Tsui (talk) 20:21, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

• Наllo Tsui! I am very sorry, I didn't know that. Can I ask you to explain how to do it correctly? I use "Upload a new version of this file" - and it overwrites the file. Where is the right button? Thank for help! Franzekafka (talk) 14:17, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

About the parent categories of Category:Gender equality and Category:Gender differences

Dear Franzekafka, I saw that you changed a parent of Category:Pink tax. It looks like you have knowledge about the topic gender. Now I wonder how Category:Gender equality and Category:Gender differences are linked together by their parents, at first sight they are not. Shouldn't a lot of their parents be the same? JopkeB (talk) 05:51, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Dear JopkeB, thank you for bringing it to my attention. There is a lot of confusion in those categories now, as the word gender has at least 4 meanings. It's a long work of tidying up (wikidata are also messed up), but I'll be sure to take a look. What do you mean by linked together by their parents? Both cats lay in Category:Gender in the end. Franzekafka (talk) 06:13, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick reaction. Yes, in the end, but not directly. I would have thought that they would share at least one category, and perhaps more. Good luck with fixing these gender categories, you are doing a good job! JopkeB (talk) 06:26, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Now they just do that through subcategories. We'll see (I usually start ordering from subcats to mother cats). You're doing a good job too. Good luck! Franzekafka (talk) 06:34, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Category:Ukrainians wearing vyshyvankas

Вітання! Category:People from Ukraine wearing vyshyvankas by city і Category:People from Ukraine wearing vyshyvankas by region‎ вже є в категорії Category:Ukrainians wearing vyshyvankas! Не треба з підкатегорій дублювати файли в надкатегорію. Микола Василечко (talk) 19:55, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

І ще запитання. Ви сьогодні поставили на вилучення категорію Category:People from Ukraine wearing vyshyvankas і перемістили підкатегорії та файли до Category:Ukrainians wearing vyshyvankas. Ви впевнені у своїх редагуваннях? Що ви розумієте під терміном Ukrainians? Українці за національністю? А якщо у вишиванку вдягнений студент з Африки, який навчається в Україні, то він Ukrainians чи People from Ukraine? --Микола Василечко (talk) 19:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:People from Ukraine wearing vyshyvankas. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Jmabel ! talk 04:37, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Similarly for Category:Male clothing in Ukraine. - Jmabel ! talk 04:42, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
