Hi Andy,

My motivation for creating the category above and repopulating was to avoid geographically incorrect categorisations like

Category:Stone circles in Wales -> Category:Gorsedd stones -> Category:Gorsedd stones outside Wales

which would place File:Plaza de los Colonos Gaiman.jpg in a Wales-location-specific cat tree. Just thought I’d explain — no need to revert as it’s not a major problem given the many other illogical categorisations. Dogfennydd (talk) 18:32, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have given a better explanation at the time, but the phone started ringing off the hook.
Gorsedd stones are in Wales. They're inherently Welsh. So the Welsh stones should stay here in the default location, and the Patagonian ones can be pushed off into an obscure sub-cat. Otherwise we're just adding extra layers of navigation to no real purpose. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of licence[edit]

Did you mean to remove the Natherlands Archive licence with this edit? It seems like a mistake, so please review the file history. Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 13:14, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, obviously not. Thanks for spotting it. I've just checked the hundreds of files done in those batches and caught a couple where this happened - an unexpected parameter to the licence tag broke the regex. Should all be fixed now, please let me know if you see anything similar. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:06, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Please do not revert my categories. This category is useless. How are we supposed to find pictures in them? Thanks, Yann (talk) 15:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't attack other editors as vandals: User talk:Headlock0225#Vandalism warning. When called out for doing this, and your misunderstanding pointed out, then discuss it, don't just revert independent editors. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File is not an exact duplicate.[edit]

Andy, I noticed the black and white has a piece of the front wheel missing. I agree the other file is not as good quality, however, it has a complete wheel. Please, keep both until a truly "exact duplicate" is uploaded.

Can you revert your duplicate tag? Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 04:28, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, it's probably justified for the book facsimile - although the caption was wrong. I've already swapped them on en:WP to the clearer image (although the use on WP is wrong anyway). Andy Dingley (talk) 07:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Andy. I appreciate your many good works. -- Ooligan (talk) 13:35, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
