Some stroopwafels for you![edit]

happy to help. uploads are harder than they need to be (open source software) and they normally need details including screenshots to debug. if you are doing batches then try out commons:Pattypan also. cheers Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 22:26, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kenya stamps[edit]

Please be more careful when choosing the copyright templates for Kenya stamps. You need to refer to Commons:Stamps/Public domain#Kenya where you see that {{PD-UKGov}} is the correct one to use for the 1963 stamps. Even though they issued stamps in 1963, their copyright act did not come into effect until 1966. BTW, I doubt it was really necessary to create two individual year categories when there are just 16 stamps uploaded. They could easily all be in Category:Stamps of Kenya without it being overpopulated. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 10:16, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are a couple of things: Firstly, I am actually the one who is mostly responsible for writing Commons:Stamps/Public domain#Kenya (if you check history you'll see that). I did spend a lot of time trying to figure out all the intricacies, and thought that I did. I guess I was mistaken. In either case these are public domain images. As for the categories, maybe I should have created a gallery or something, but I wanted to make it easier to find the stamps by the year of publication; sorry if I made a choice that wasn't exactly perfect. I mostly uploaded Russian stamps before that, and I simply copied the structure. I intend to continue expanding stamps of Kenya uploads in the future, if you feel strongly about that, please start a discussion about the two created categories, I am going to do whatever is the community consensus. Be well and happy. Gone Postal (talk) 11:09, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ww2censor I thought about it a little more, some things just seem strange, if you could please comment here: Commons talk:Stamps/Public domain#Kenyan independence, transitional period 15:50, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
I've responded to your transitional period post, but some of what I responded there applies here too. Well I'm sorry I did not check to see who had made the Kenya entry but with a detailed history check now see that it was you. Yeah, for some countries it takes some effort to find the appropriate copyright details we should use but thanks for doing the work. Basically the entry is correct though I would dispute the commencement date which according to The Copyright Act, 1966 was enacted on 1 April 1966, so the December 1965 date seems wrong. We should probably amend the dates. Whether such stamps are public domain under either copyright law is, however, not the point; we really should use the correct copyright template and that's all I was trying to suggest. Regarding the year categories, I've no issue if you are going to populated them but for just a few stamps it would not be worth having them. BTW, if properly categorised, I see most every philatelic related image that gets posted to a recent uploads page by the month. I noticed your recent Kenya stamp uploads in the May 2018 page and you are welcome to add any/all/current pages to your watchlist if interested. Thanks for all your images.

Template:Post office regions of Russia[edit]

Please stop creating these categories for now! It needs to fix correct names first. --A.Savin 05:13, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok... but please do let me know when I can start again. Gone Postal (talk) 05:14, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I guess you're done... but decided not to tell me. Gone Postal (talk) 07:08, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Stop sending me thanks-messages, but instead of that, do categories properly. I have no desire to clean after you. --A.Savin 02:38, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I will try to remember to no longer thank you. I am doing categories the way you set it up (actually copy/pasting from something you did into what I am creating), so if you dislike something, you are disliking your own names. Gone Postal (talk) 02:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong. This (and many more mistakes) are solely by you. Stop this. --A.Savin 02:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, this was a mistake. Note how I did not thank you for correcting it. Gone Postal (talk) 02:53, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
