A barnstar for you!

The Photographer's Barnstar
Greetings from the other end of the Thruway! Though you've been active on Commons for quite a while, it looks like you've yet to be commended specifically for the prolific and high-quality content you have been adding tirelessly this whole time. So by way of correcting that oversight, please accept this barnstar. I'd say I hope to see more of the same going forward, but that seems almost like a foregone conclusion! -- Andre Carrotflower (talk) 22:30, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank You, for editing my photos about the bike lates in NYC

I use those photos in Russian WIKIversity, special course about New York. GK tramrunner RU (talk) 23:29, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Category:Roads and streets in New York City named after 9/11 victims

Thank you for adding photographs to the newly-created Category:Roads and streets in New York City named after 9/11 victims. Recently I've been working on collecting pictures about street signs or other memorials dedicated to the lost 9/11 souls. Some of the signs, however, have no corresponding photographs yet on Wikimedia commons (I've also searched these photos on Flickrs but no signs of them), such as those street signs including (but not limited to) the following:

Do you know how to acquire these kind of images and make them accessible on Wikimedia commons, or do you know any Wikimedia participants avaliable to these kind of locations?

Best regards

--Howard61313 (talk) 13:52, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

I often bicycle through various parts of NYC and suburbs, and check the WikiShootMe map for things that need a photo. Anything gets a dot on the map, if it is in Wikidata with coordinates. The Wikidata item for the person, such as Jennifer Yen Wong should not have the coordinates of the street, but the WD item for the street, should. Far as I know, any public street anywhere is eligible for a WD item; it's not like being notable enough to be the subject of an article. So, you don't have to locate a particular person who can be persuaded to go there. When you merely make a WD item and a Wikimedian using the map passes by, we will see and snap. You can put the dot close to the sign, to make it even easier Much more efficient for all concerned. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:10, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
That's quite a good advice. Many thanks! --Howard61313 (talk) 09:22, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Grand Central Parkway service road

The Category:Grand Central Parkway service road should really be named Category:Grand Central Parkway service roads, and a subsection for the portion using Category:Astoria Boulevard North and South should also be created. --DanTD (talk) 12:20, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

Misidentified LIRR station

I don't know which Long Island Rail Road station this is, but it's definitely not Huntington. --DanTD (talk) 20:48, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Well, my sincere apologies, you are absolutely correct. I reviewed the geographical data, and my memory of where I took the pic is just flat-out wrong. I plan on seeing a doctor about getting a brain replacement.

Sorry to have been so ornery -- and so wrong! Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:26, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks

I appreciate your adding more categories/information to my New York and Mets photos. I don't know all the possible categories so well as you do! I am now trying to add them for my non-New York/baseball photos when I can but it's still not my forte (and I have a lot of photos to go through still). I'm also trying to add geotag info sometimes (neither of my cameras has built-in GPS, but when I know where the photo was taken, I can tag it... but this is quite time-consuming.) D.

Category:Waterfront parks

I see you created Category:Waterfront parks. Could you possibly add a description explaining what the category is and is not intended to include? E.g. does it cover:

I have a feeling that without clear definition, this category could become a nightmare. - Jmabel ! talk 01:57, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

I would say in general "waterfront parks" are parks, playgrounds, squares, etc. built along an existing large waterfront or shore (river, large lake, ocean), and allow views of and access to said waterfront. This NYC Parks document states "the term 'waterfront parks' is meant to act as a reference for parks and open spaces that are directly adjacent to the shoreline as well as those that lie within the geographic floodplain" and later "New York City’s waterfront parks are home to beaches, boardwalks, esplanades, marinas, and natural areas." This Naturally Resilient Communities page gives another definition, which focuses on parks built for storm and flood resiliency purposes.
  • Jones Beach is a beach park, a subcategory of Seaside parks which in turn I moved to be a subcat of Waterfront parks.
  • The Chicago Lakefront Trail and Sammamish River Trail could be categorized as riverwalks (subcat of waterfront parks), esplanades (currently a subcat of Waterside structures), or perhaps in a new category like "waterfront/waterside trails".
  • From a cursory look, I would say the Seattle shoreline street ends would fit so long as they are proper parks or squares. In my research, I've found my city of New York has also built street-end parks in Upper Manhattan.
  • Parks with lakes inside of it, particularly Central Park and Flushing Meadows–Corona Park where the lakes and ponds were manmade inside of the park, would not fit my idea of "waterfront park". On the other hand, a park created along a larger pre-existing lake or river, like Green Lake Park, would fit my description.
  • As far as decluttering the category, there can be appropriate subcategories (Seaside parks, Riverwalks), and categories by country, state, and city.
Tdorante10 (talk) 04:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Very helpful. I still think there is a bit of a can of worms here. For example, Category:Beach parks is under Category:Seaside parks. What about lake beaches? And what about something like the beaches on Puget Sound in Seattle (at least some of which are currently indirectly under Category:Beach parks). Most people here (I live in Seattle) don't think of these as "seaside": Puget Sound is salt water, but it's literally 100 miles to the ocean. Any thoughts? I realize you did not make this this way. - Jmabel ! talk 15:59, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Maybe separate categories for at least lakeside and riverside beach parks? But I have no idea what to best do with something like Alki Beach Park on Elliott Bay (a bay of Puget Sound). Again: if someone here called this "seaside", they'd be technically true, but people would laugh, at best. Certainly "waterside" in any case, though. - Jmabel ! talk 16:05, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Category:Waterfront parks in Seattle is an example of exactly what I was hoping to avoid. Next, someone will come along and remove Category:Parks in Seattle from all of these, changing what has been a very useful nearly-flat list (the only exception being the 149 "shoreline street ends", which the locals all know "are a thing"). Some of these "waterfront parks", following your definition, are things not many people think of that way. For example, only a tiny percentage of people who go to Discovery Park go down to its long, but not very accessible, shoreline. Most people think of it as a former army base, a meadow with views from the top of a cliff, and woods. It might never cross their mind to look for it under Category:Waterfront parks in Seattle, I really think this sort of category intersections, especially when the definition of one category is a bit subtle, make things harder, not easier, for people to find what they are looking for.
Please don't take that at all personally. I can see your intention here is entirely good, and nothing here is against any rules, but it's really important to keep in mind that the purpose of categorization is to help human beings find things. - Jmabel ! talk 15:43, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
I apologize, I'm used to dealing with the New York City parks, which apparently there are almost 2,000, and thus they are categorized by borough, neighborhood, and park agency. I was also thinking the other waterfront parks just in the U.S. would quickly clutter the category. In the case of Discovery Park, it is quite large and so perhaps only the shoreline areas such as the bluffs, beaches, and coastal trails should fall under waterfront parks.Tdorante10 (talk) 04:13, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
It's tricky. I know I tend to be a "lumper" more than a "splitter". I wish we had better category intersection tools, so there was less temptation to build arbitrary intersections as categories of their own. I separated out Seattle's shoreline street ends because they are a specific enough type of park that people mostly think of them differently (and I "overcatted" on the few that people don't necessarily think of as shoreline street ends). Sort of like separating out the vestpocket parks in NYC. Similarly, I found we had 22 photos of one performance in 1920, so of course that merited a category. And, unsurprisingly, Seattle has a lot of parks that are on water. And a lot of parks all around: 400-500, depending what you count (and it's a lot smaller city than New York). Anyway: I can see you are in general taking a good direction with this, but I urge you not to just view this one as a "hit and run": have a look at how the tree under Category:Waterfront parks develops over time, and see if it is staying coherent. - Jmabel ! talk 05:42, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
