"Tunanmarca" Category Removal

Following discussion on Village Pump about the "Tunanmarca" category, the category was removed and Unknown/Uncategorised added as per that discussion (in italics below). The photo is definitely not of Tunanmarca nor nearby.

What should one do when discovering a photo incorrectly categorised? I noticed which is not of "Tunanmarca" (as per category and I have no idea what it is of. I am worried about just removing the existing category and it just becoming "lost in limbo". But "Tunanmarca" is wrong ... so what sould one do under such circumstances?

The general question is what to do about such photos (i.e. for this and any others I notice). This image is used by French WikiVoyage for Hyancayo and Tunanmarca is Jauja not Hyancayo anyway. (which is some distance from Tunanmarca). PsamatheM (talk) 17:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

If the category is wrong then find the closest alternative that you know is accurate. In this case I would go with Category:Ruins of buildings as I can't see what basis either the editor here or the editor at French Wikipedia had for saying this was in Peru. It would have been useful if they had expanded the description with any evidence they found of the location. I'd advise placing a copy of this discussion on the file's talk page so the reasoning for your change is clear to future editors. From Hill To Shore (talk) 18:01, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

There are also "Unidentified" categories like Category:Unidentified buildings where, theoretically, someone who wanted to do some detective work might look for images to categorize. – BMacZero (🗩) 20:02, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
