File:Thermikblasen, durch Dunst sichtbar gemacht.jpg

Please reverse what you did on this image. It is already in the Category:Cumulus humilis clouds which in a sub-category of Category:Cumulus clouds which is already a sub-category of Category:Atmospheric convection. So adding Category:Atmospheric convection to that file is redondant!

Bitte umkehren, was du auf diesem Bild gemacht hast. Es ist bereits in der Kategorie: Cumulus humilis Wolken, die in einer Unterkategorie der Kategorie: Cumulus Wolken, die bereits eine Unterkategorie der Kategorie: Atmosphärische Konvektion ist. So Hinzufügen Kategorie: Atmospherische Konvektion, um die Datei ist redondant!

Pierre cb (talk) 23:15, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Das stimmt nur teilweise, denn auch der aufsteigende Dunst ist eine Form der Konvektion, ohne Cu humilis zu bilden.--GerritR (talk) 07:12, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Please answer me in English, I just Google translated to help you understand but Google is not good the other way around. By what I can understand, you are wrong: Haze is never convective as it forms in a stable layer, the cumulus above that layer is in a convective layer and the haze is just feeding them in water vapor. I will remove the redundant category if you do not. Pierre cb (talk) 14:23, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but it is difficult for me to express what i mean in English. What we see in this picture is called "Thermik" in German. The haze ist not situated in stable air, you can see clearly that it is rising. When it reaches condensation level, the water vapor forms the tiny white cumulus clouds.--GerritR (talk) 22:25, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry what you see on this picture is a haze at low level, and above cumulus humilis. The billowing you see is just thin cumulus humilis, one cannot see thermals until the clouds forms, and thus only the cumulus humilis category is pertinent. Pierre cb (talk) 03:14, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

File:Corona an Cumulus II.jpg, File:Corona an Cumulus III.jpg and File:Corona an Cumulus IV.jpg

Hi:

Category:Cumulus is a generic category and any file in it must be classified as much as possible into a sub-category. These files are clouds at night, they cannot be straight cumulus since no vertical extension is usually possible, they have to be stratocumulus (a form of cumulus with topped summit).

Pierre cb (talk) 10:47, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Please discuss the pictures at the file discussion, not here. For the Moment: The pictures are taken by day with very short exposure times for better visibility of the coronas. The behaviour of the clouds was not stratiform. They evolved and also vanished quickly. Environment: High sun altitude and cold (arctic) air (low-level instability). Camera position is from a bus window to the sun, therefore vertical extension is not really good shown because of the high altitude angle. --GerritR (talk) 11:51, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Sorry but I have look fast and the scene is so dark I thought it was the Moon thru the clouds. I will put them in Cumulus humilis. Pierre cb (talk) 23:55, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

File:Linienförmig angeordneter Cumulus mit Böenkragen in Kansas.jpg

As yourself categoorized it, this is an arcus cloud, an extension of a cumulus. So no need to overcategorize it. Furthermore, Category:Cumulus clouds is a mother category and any image file in it should be sent to its subcategory, which Arcus is (as part of Cumulonimbus clouds category).

Pierre cb (talk) 00:49, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Please use file talk. I don't want you to use my user talk site for discussing files.--GerritR (talk) 05:42, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

And you're wrong. Cumulus and Cumulonimbus are different kinds of clouds. Arcus can appear at both. So you need to classify the mother cloud.--GerritR (talk) 05:50, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Cumulonimbus is in the familly of the cumulus, see the WMO, just the tallest version of them. Anyway, you already classified them as Arcus. Pierre cb (talk) 13:15, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Are you sure? Please have a look at the cloud atlas. https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/cloud-classification-summary.html and https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/principles-of-cloud-classification-genera.html --GerritR (talk) 13:35, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Bild: Gebäudefront mit Wappen in der Strada Arhivelor, Hermannstadt

Hallo GerritR, ich habe die Datei: Gebäudefront mit Wappen in der Strada Arhivelor desswegen aus der Kategorie entfernt, weil dort nur die Wappen der Kreise in alphabetischer Reihenfolge und nicht Reliefwappen an Bauwerken untergebracht sind. Gruß, --Stoschmidt (talk) 18:53, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Das ändert aber nichts an der Tatsache, dass es ein Wappen aus der kommunistischen Zeit ist. Notfalls bedarf es einer weiteren Kategorie für solche Wappen "in situ".--GerritR (talk) 21:49, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Photo : Bergwelt am Pico Ruivo, Madeira III.jpg

Hi:

Category:Cumulus is a mother category and should not contains clouds from sub-categories as "humilis". You can add "mediocris" or "congestus" to the categories if you want, on top of it, but not keeping it in the mother category. Finally, there is no way to know what kind of cumulus you are pointing with your yellow box on the upper left, as the point of view is too close to say. It is taken almost in the cloud and an humilis so close could look mighty. But since all the other clouds are humilis, it is more than likely that it is an humilis.

Pierre cb (talk) 15:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Just want to add that your new comment in the box is strange : If it is impossible to judge if it is an humilis, it is also impossible to judge if it is a mediocris or a congestus. All can be said of the type is about the othere clouds. So it seems to me that is it superfluous and should be in the discussion page of the image. Pierre cb (talk) 16:18, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

File:Hauhechel-Bläuling auf der Langen Rhön bei Leubach.jpg

Hallo GerritR, mit solchen dunklen Flügelrändern kann das kein Hauhechel-Bläuling sein; hast du vielleicht die Flügelunterseite fotografiert? --LamBoet (talk) 11:20, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Bitte auf der Diskussionsseite des Bildes weitermachen, dann können auch andere Fachleute dran teilnehmen. Danke.--GerritR (talk) 11:32, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Was die Frage betrifft: Leider nicht.--GerritR (talk) 20:34, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

OK, schade, dann kann er als unbestimmt kategorisiert werden. (Bild-Diskussionsseiten werden kaum benutzt/bemerkt, und Falterfachleute gibt es sowieso kaum bei Commons…) VG --LamBoet (talk) 11:04, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

File:Stratocumulus castellanus virga VII, Vereisung und Verflachung.jpg

Hi: I think that the clouds in this photo are en:cumulus congestus at different stages of maturity.

---

Hallo: Ich denke, die Wolken auf diesem Foto sind Cumulus congestus mit unterschiedlichen Reifegraden.

Pierre cb (talk) 03:33, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

At least they started as Stratocumulus castellanus. Please have a look at the other images of the series (I-VI). The first one is this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stratocumulus_castellanus_virga.jpg

The series is not yet finished, the clouds went on freezing and became very low Cirrus at the end.--GerritR (talk) 17:35, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

File:Beobachtung einer rotierenden großen Wallcloud unter einem Schwergewitter im Texas Panhandle.jpg

Hi:

Could you write a description in English for this image and 2 others that you reverse my edit. I based my change on "Vortex 2" that I could see in the description in German. Sorry for the confusion.

Pierre cb (talk) 19:27, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

File:Horizontaler Wirbel an Gewitterwolken.jpg

On a still photo, how can anyone see an horizontal rotation. If you had a video maybe but Commons cannot take your word for that. All that can be seen is what looks like a funnel cloud. Pierre cb (talk) 23:10, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

I've seen the horizontal rotation with my own eyes. It was no funnel cloud. In general, you are often a little bit too quick in changing categories. Please look closer. Sometimes it's better to ask the photographer before editing.--GerritR (talk) 08:07, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Crowding Category:Cumulus clouds

Please justify this [1]? This category should not contain any photos, they should be {{Categorize}} in the subcategories. If you think there is other types of cumuliform clouds than the Altocumulus put the right category instead of always clogging this category!

Pierre cb (talk) 03:10, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Altocumulus and Cumulus are different cloud species. Both species are in the picture. Altocumulus is no subtype of Cumulus! It is an own species! Just have a look at the international cloud atlas. Then have a look at the picture. What cloud species can you see?--GerritR (talk) 08:18, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

This is not the question, what kind of cumulus are you seing in this picture (fractus, humilis, mediocris, etc...) so very dark? Do not crowd the Cumulus Category, move your picture to the relevant subcategory. Pierre cb (talk) 12:33, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Sometimes it's difficult or even impossible to put a cloud into a subcategory. But it's still Cumulus.--GerritR (talk) 12:58, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

It is easy to differentiate an humilis from a mediocris or a fractus (see https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/identifying-clouds.html). Where is this elusive clouds in the photo? How can you say it is a cumulus if you cannot qualify it? Pierre cb (talk) 13:41, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Wer bestimmt eigentlich, ob die Kategorie "Cumulus" überfüllt ist? Und wenn eine Wolke nicht in ihrer Art bestimmt werden kann, ist es auf jeden Fall nicht falsch, sie zunächst in der Gattung unterzubringen. Cumulus ist m. E. unstrittig. Bei Pflanzen und Tieren geht man ähnlich vor. Man geht in der Hierarchie der Taxonomie eine Stufe höher. Und manchmal ist es einfacher, Dinge auf Deutsch zu erklären.--GerritR (talk) 13:59, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

I do not read German. Please continue at File talk:Tief stehende Sonne hinter Altocumulus lenticularus.jpg. Pierre cb (talk) 16:06, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

File:Straßenszene in Tenby.JPG

File:Straßenszene in Tenby.JPG is definitely Saundersfoot, which is a separate town along the coast from Tenby. The "Hean Castle" restaurant is to the left. Ahead is the slipway to Saundersfoot beach. Sionk (talk) 21:13, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I've checked my photos from that day. We had a walk in Tenby, but before that we had a bus ride. This must have been taken out of the bus window while driving through Saundersfoot. But it's too long ago to clearly remember.--GerritR (talk) 21:28, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

That makes sense :) Sionk (talk) 21:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

File:Albrechts of Rothenburg Family Coat of Arms - 1605.png

Hi GerritR

This image and others I have used for the Albrecht Coat of Arms are taken from a book written by one of the descendants of the Albrecht family of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Nicholas Albrecht, resident in Auckland, New Zealand. The book is entitled The Albrechts of Rothenburg ob der Tauber 1493-1806 published 2018 by AM Publishing, Auckland New Zealand, ISBN 9780473448707.The author has informed me that the images used in the book are reproductions of ones that he, himself, had in his own house as part of his familial inheritance. Will written confirmation of that from the author be sufficient to retain the images, or must I get him to create new ones specifically for use on his website(s) with written permission from him?

Bilder zu den einzelnen Bergen und vielleicht auch Bächen

Hallo Gerrit,

momentan versuche ich, in den Commons Bilder zu einzelnen Objekten der Rhön aufzustöbern, um die Bilderwünsche abzuarbeiten, die als Wartungsmeldung auftauchen. Ich weiß, dass du viele Fotos schon den Commons beigesteuert hast und hoffe, dass du evtl. bei der Erfüllung der Bilderwünsche und unter Umständen auch der Kategorisierung helfen kannst. Einige Bilder von dir konnte ich schon in die Artikel einbinden. Aber manche zeigen mehrere Berge und möglicherweise hast du noch Einzelaufnahmen übrig, die noch nicht hochgeladen sind. Vielleicht hast du als Naturfotograf auch exemplarische Bilder von Bächen der Rhön, um die Bäche und Flüsse zu bebildern. Das Kategorisieren auch anderer Dateien als deinen wäre nur ein "Nice to have", um bei der Recherche anderen die Suche zu erleichtern.

Ich würde mich freuen, wenn du ein wenig helfen könntest, sofern du passende Dateien zur Hand hast.

Viele Grüße

--Delta456 (talk) 21:33, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Hallo, die Rhön ist immer in meinem Blick und in der Tat gibt es auch noch einige Bilder, die noch aufs Hochladen warten. Oder noch gar nicht geschossen wurden. Das geht alles nur nach und nach. Ich werde die Rhön auch nicht priorisieren, sondern einfach weitermachen. Bild für Bild...--GerritR (talk) 16:21, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

Reverting an admin's declination of speedy delete

Hi. Please do not revert an administrator's decision to not speedy delete a file. As it says in the decline, use a DR, and as a DR exists, that is a reason for no speedy deletion consideration.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:50, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

What does DR mean? And by the way, I don't want a speedy deletion of this file, too. I think, the reason for deletion is not valid.--GerritR (talk) 11:30, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Hallo @GerritR, DR ist die Abkürzung für "Deletion Request" und entspricht mehr oder weniger den Löschkandidaten in der de.Wikipedia. Es werden - im Gegensatz zum Schnelllöschantrag Argumente vorgebracht und am Ende bei der Entscheidung gewichtet. Viele Grüße, Emha (talk) 11:46, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Arcus and shelf cloud

What is the difference according to you in your photos? Point it to me according to these definitions of the World Meteorological Organization (Shelf cloud and Arcus). Unless you think of the photos are of roll cloud type arcus detached from the mother CB. Pierre cb (talk) 02:21, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

In fact, there is no real difference. Shelf cloud is a slang term for shelf-shaped, multi-layered arcus. Roll clouds (volutus) are NO arcus clouds. This charts makes it clear: https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/cloud-classification-summary.html --GerritR (talk) 20:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

And i think we should keep accordance to the WMO cloud nomenclature and not to slang stemming from the storm chaser community.--GerritR (talk) 20:44, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Kategorisierung Deiner Bilder mit Category:Rhön

Hallo Gerrit, das Kategorisieren mit dem Ort der Kameraposition ist durchaus üblich. Wenn du von der Silhoutte der Rhön sprichst, meinst du wahrscheinlich eher die zu sehenden Höhenzüge, oder? Wäre da vielleicht die Kategorie category:Mountains of the Rhön oder category:Panoramics of the Rhön sinnvoller? Denn allgemein "Rhön" bezeichnet ja nur ein großes Mittelgebirge. Grüße und schönes Wochenende, --Joschi71 (talk) 14:39, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Das macht auf jeden Fall mehr Sinn als den Bezug zum Motiv komplett zu entfernen. Gerade vom Noppen aus hat man ein schönes Panorama der Rhön vor sich. Die Rhön hat im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Mittelgebirgen eine markante Silhouette, zumindest wenn man aus westlicher Richtung schaut.--GerritR (talk) 15:27, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Commons talk:Categories/de#Familienwappen an Grabdenkmälern, Bauwerken etc.

Hallo GerritR, bitte verwende nicht Diskussionsseiten außerhalb der administrativen Funktionsseiten, um Dich über andere Benutzer zu beschweren. So etwas belastet die konstruktive Mitarbeit. Solche Diskussionen sollten sich ausschließlich um die inhaltlichen Auseinandersetzungen drehen und es vermeiden, wie eine Anklage zu klingen („und mit Feuereifer damit befasst ist“). Und dann bin ich skeptisch, wieviele Leute diese Seite auf dem Schirm haben und dann ggf. reagieren. Das ist auf der Diskussionsseite einer deutschsprachigen Übersetzung einer Richtlinie. Diese sollte bestenfalls dazu dienen, die deutsche Übersetzung zu diskutieren. Grundsätzlich werden Diskussionen nicht strikt nach Sprache getrennt. Einer der wenigen Ausnahmen mit rein deutschsprachiger Diskussion ist Commons:Forum, die vergleichsweise gut besucht ist und auch dazu dienen kann, rasch andere Meinungen zu erhalten. Kategoriendiskussionen sollten ansonsten bevorzugt über COM:CFD geführt werden und werden darüber auch von Dritten gefunden. Habe bitte keine Scheu, solche Diskussionen auch dort in deutscher Sprache zu eröffnen. Viele Grüße, AFBorchert (talk) 21:24, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Echter-Wappen

Hallo GerritR, auf D-6-73-149-5 Oberelsbach 20200710 011.jpg ist das Wappen wesentlich besser zu erkennen als auf dem Bild vom ganzen Haus. Ich habe die dort fehlende Kategorie deshalb dort eingefügt und bei dem Bild vom Haus entfernt. Ich halte das weiter für sinnvoller als nach einem auf dem Bild kaum zu erkennenden Detail zu kategorisieren. Grüße Bjs (talk) 06:01, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

Tippfehler in Category:Coats of of arms of Broich family (Mühlheim an der Ruhr)

Hallo GerritR, die oben genannte Kategorie enthält leider einen Schreibfehler, es handelt sich um Mülheim an der Ruhr (nicht Mühlheim). Ich kenne mich leider bei WikiCommons und Kategorien so gar nicht aus. Viele Grüße Krabbenpulen (talk) 08:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Platen von Hallermund - Tyroff HA.jpg / COA Platen-Hallermund Maximilian.jpg

Hallo GerritR, die o.g. Wappen gehören nicht zur Familie der de:Grafen von Hallermund sondern zu de:Platen (pommersches Adelsgeschlecht). Erstere Familie starb 1436 aus. Letztere erhielten 1704 die Grafschaft Hallermund und nannten sich daraufhin Platen-Hallermund. Die Familien sind nicht verwandt. Die genannten Wappen gehören daher in Kategorie "Coats of arms of Platen family". Eine Zuordnung zur Kategorie "Coats of arms of Hallermund family" ist dagegen nicht korrekt. Viele Grüße, --Dusdia (talk) 15:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Sie greifen aber die Hallermund-Wappen auf. Man müsste eine eigene Kategorie "Derivatives of Hallermund family" dafür aufmachen.--GerritR (talk) 16:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Die aktuelle Kategorisierung jedenfalls ist falsch und führt zu falschen Interpretationen. Die genannten Wappen gehören nicht zu den "Coats of arms of Hallermund Family". Ich würde Dich daher bitten, den Revert meiner Änderungen wieder zurückzunehmen. --Dusdia (talk) 21:29, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
