Climat et météo

Bonjour,

Merci pour vos téléchargements mais ils sont souvent surcatégorisés et mal catégorisés. En effet, il faut mettre seulement les sous-catégories les plus proches de ce qu'on voit sur une photo. Par exemple, un photo de nuages au Cameroun sera dans «Category:Clouds in Cameroon» et mettre en plus dans «Category:Clouds» est redondant.

De plus, il faut distinguer un phénomène météo et le climat. Ainsi les nuages sont un phénomène météo ponctuel, le climat, le changement climatique, etc... sont des phénomènes globaux annuels calculés sur des décennies, voir plus. Par exemple, j'ai dû changer les catégories de File:Brume à Dschang 10.jpg (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ABrume_%C3%A0_Dschang_10.jpg&diff=770846428&oldid=770788256) car la brume/brouillard n'est pas un changement climatique mais un phénomène météo.

Bien à vous,
