Re: Image:Watchman Lookout at Crater Lake National Park 2C 1932.jpg[edit]

Oops, you are right, somehow I wrote the wrong name (I was checking back and forth several images indicated in a thread at Media copyright questions at enwiki and somehow I wrote the wrong name here. The complain was that the script somehow transformed a comma into its hex code, 2C, and the idea was to rename it to Image:Watchman Lookout at Crater Lake National Park, 1932.jpg. Sorry for the confusion. -- ReyBrujo 19:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sculptures[edit]

Yes, it's infuriating when people upload images of sculptures without giving any information. Did you know about User:Mutter Erde/Please add the sculptor´s name? And there's tons more :-( Lupo 15:54, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seminole Rest and Turtle Mound[edit]

Thanks for making Seminole Rest it's own category. It's true, there are enough photos for that. And Turtle Mound, you were there? What's it like? It's on my itinerary for the near future. Can one get a decent shot of the mound from the bottom or the top? Anyway, danke! :) --Ebyabe (talk) 15:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blobfish2.jpg[edit]

Hi, I happened to see your message on the page User talk:Polarlys about the deleted File:Blobfish2.jpg. If you look at the NOAA website, you can see that the NOAA itself credits this picture to an external source and specifies that the copyright on such pictures, which are not works of the the NOAA personel, is held by the external author. For more details about this particular picture, please see this page on the Australian museum website. Regards, -- Asclepias (talk) 22:28, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Re: Your question about the speedy deletion) Ah, that was something I forgot to mention. This same picture had already been deleted before. Being a clear case of copyvio, the speedy deletion was appropriate. However, exceptionally, there remains a short discussion page because a user started a deletion discussion, before he changed his mind and agreed to the speedy deletion. See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Blobfish.jpg. -- Asclepias (talk) 21:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Durham–Jacobs House Portland.JPG[edit]

Hi, thanks for helping me out with the categories of my Portland NRHP pictures. You added the Category Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Portland, Oregon to my picture Durham–Jacobs House Portland.JPG. I already had King's Hill Historic District as a category for it and this is actually a subcategory of Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Portland, Oregon. Do the pictures have to be in both categories? Moreover, shouldn't there be a subcategory for other historic districts like Alphabet Historic District? --Eaaumi (talk) 01:09, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it doesn't have to be in both categories, and in fact the general rule on the Commons is that an image should not be in a category ("Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Portland, Oregon") if it's also in a subcategory of that category ("Category:King's Hill Historic District"). Personally, I make an exception to that general rule when a place is both (a) a contributing property within a NRHP-listed historic district, as well as (b) itself individually listed on the NRHP. In such a case, I recommend placing the image both in the category for the district and alongside the district in a higher-level category, like I did with Durham-Jacobs.
There is already a Category:Alphabet Historic District. While Alphabet does have a lot of residential properties in it, it also has large commercial areas and large numbers of apartment buildings, which is why I haven't been inclined to place it in the "Houses in..." subcategory in the past. The only other historic district in Portland that's almost exclusively residential in character is Ladd's Addition, which is already in the "Houses in..." subcategory.
It's late - let me know if I failed to make any coherent sense. —Werewombat (talk) 04:13, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your quick reply. I understand know now what "Houses in ..." means. That was a language problem. I didn't get that this only refers to residential properties. Thanks for helping me out all the time. I try to get better and understand everything I have to do to upload and categorize a picture properly! --Eaaumi (talk) 00:35, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, glad we connected. In English, especially American English, "house" as a standalone word refers to a residential dwelling, usually single-family and most commonly detached from other buildings. In many Commonwealth countries, but not usually the United States, "___ House" can also be used as the name of a large building (for example, Bush House and Portland House in London), but such buildings would not be referred to as "houses" as a generic group. But this second usage is becoming increasingly old-fashioned, in an example of the Americanization of global English. There are also many less-common usages of the word "house" to refer to different types of structures, but again such structures would not be referred to as "houses" as a generic group. And there are usages of "house" that don't have anything to do with buildings (legislative houses, royal houses, publishing houses, etc). I understand English is internationally known as a particularly difficult language. Is this an example of why? — Werewombat (talk) 16:06, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Misty Fjords[edit]

Please revert your edits in File:Mifj map.jpg and regarding Category:Misty Fiords National Monument as well as any you treated the same. The official name of the area is en:Misty Fjords National Monument since the 1980 en:Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act where in Sec 503 the name of the Monument is spelled Misty Fjords. The proclamation of 1978 became void by that. --h-stt !? 13:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC) PS: Please excuse the chaos in your page's history, it took me a while to get through the legislative history. --h-stt !? 13:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Damn. Somebody was watching. Now I have to explain how I made everything confused by not being adequately informed myself. (In other words, I've made my own share of chaos, so please don't worry about this talk page's history. It's fine.)
Let me also editorialize before I get into this that: I find the word "fiord" (with an "i") to be an ungainly, Anglo-Saxon bastardization of what is in fact a rather graceful Norwegian word. I don't like it and would do away with it if I could, in favor of "fjord" (with a "j") in all instances of English usage.
Now, what happened with my recent edits is that I began doing a bit of cleanup on the English Wikipedia article en:Misty Fiords National Monument. That article, which currently employs the "i" spelling, started out originally using the "j" spelling. It was converted to the "i" usage by another editor long before I ever looked at the article. I believed that spelling to be correct (if ugly) because the Forest Service consistently uses the "i" on its web sites and in all printed materials that I have seen. Since the Forest Service is the official custodian of the national monument and should darn well know (one would think), I just took that as the final word, and began standardizing links and cross-references in Wikipedia and Commons on the "i" spelling. Only after I'd gone a ways down that road did I actually look at the ANILCA statute and see that the legal usage is the "j". Ever since then, I've been kind of frozen with indecision over what to do with the article title on Wikipedia, and how to properly follow through and clarify what I've already done with linked articles/templates/categories/media on Wikipedia and the Commons. AGH! I'M SO CONFUSED!
You'll see at en:Talk:Misty Fiords National Monument#Name of the Monument is Misty Fjords since 1980 what I (as en:User:Ipoellet) painfully concluded about the Wikipedia article title. As for the Commons, the category name should probably follow whatever is concluded for the Wikipedia article. (Yes, the Commons is a different project and doesn't need to follow Wikipedia's lead. But in this case it seems reasonable to do so nevertheless.) If you end up renaming that article as you suggested, then I'll undo the half-change I've already done here. If the article doesn't get renamed, I'll finish carrying through the changes I've started. —Werewombat (talk) 22:45, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Of course Commons might decide to follow the lead of Wikipedia in the naming issue. But which Wikipedia? en? de? fa? I cant' even read the farsi version so it's not really helpful, but I am the main author of the German language article and certainly will not move that article to the obsolete name, no matter what the USFS does. Greetings --h-stt !? 15:28, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You caught me out! Of course different Wikipedias could have different spellings, each according to its own style manual. I was wrong in thinking only in terms of the English Wikipedia: I probably was made careless by the fact that our subject is located in an English-speaking country, but that's not an excuse. I'm now thinking that between the statutory correctness of the "j" and the usage across all Wikipedias that the Commons should go with the "j". (Of course, we could also go with the Farsi since we now have full Unicode support....) —Werewombat (talk) 17:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image map[edit]

Not sure what's going on, but an image map you created at Category:National Register of Historic Places in Washington seems to be based on an image that (at least now) doesn't exist. Normally, I'd just delete a reference to a nonexistent image, but since you must have put a lot of work into this, I'm dropping you a note instead. - Jmabel ! talk 18:00, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. My edit to File:Drinking fountain in Munson Valley plaza.jpg was to improve categorization and accuracy of information, and to clean up some bot-generated garbage.
