Notification about possible deletion
Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry.
If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue.

Thanks for uploading File:ElgooG.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

Thanks for uploading File:Dionysius Exiguus.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Caption copyright violation
Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (ALSJ), although hosted on a NASA site, is an independent venture that copyrights the descriptions and captions for the photos they upload. Therefore the captions such as the one you uploaded at File:AS11-40-5869-edit1.jpg are a copyright violation and need to be deleted (and rewritten in your own words). Also, you uploaded the third and fourth versions of one of the images, not sure if we need them? File:AS11-40-5869.jpg, File:AS11-40-5869 (21648755432).jpg, File:AS11-40-5869 (22056325122).jpg, File:AS11-40-5869-edit1.jpg (I see the one is rotated, one is poor quality, but I think the two remaining are duplicates). To find those, I just put the ID number into the search bar. Kees08 (talk) 17:35, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you, I have fixed the Copyright! I want to debunk the "rotated crosshair" conspiracy.

SpaceX Raptor
Why was SpaceX Raptor moved from its previous category name? It breaks the naming convention used by nearly all engine categories in Rocket engines of the United States, and all other SpaceX engine cats. Is this part of a broader renaming strategy? If so, that likely should be discussed more broadly. I'm not necessarily opposed, I just like consistency. — Huntster (t @ c) 19:27, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
May I ask where it says in the Wikimedia Commons policies and/or guidelines that the category name has to be the same name as their associated English Wikipedia article? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk) 07:51, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- It is an ad hoc practice that the category name has to be the same name as their associated English Wikipedia article. Also look at the above discussion. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 07:55, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- We are not beholden to the naming conventions of the English Wikipedia. Please do not change a category's name simply because they decide to make a change. — Huntster (t @ c) 08:27, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was about to say, you didn't even bother to reply to Huntster, so telling me to "look at the above discussion" is not helpful at all. It was less a discussion and more an editor expressing similar grievances. It being an "an ad hoc practice" is an exceptionally poor excuse, since it can be used to excuse basically anything without having to prove anything, really. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk) 08:40, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Illegal occupancy of Kashmir
Namaste, I have read about your current requests for renaming. They are all about Jammu & Kashmir. During rename requests you have mentioned them as 'Azad J&K'. I object your this word. Please remember that this part of J&K was illegally occupied by Pakistan in 1948. So, as Indians we can't use the word "Azad". Therefore I have declined your request for renaming.

Hello Soumya-8974,
please don't overwrite files in another language. You could have uploaded the English file as a separate file (Bombay_1956-1960 en.svg). The German-language file is the original and the English file is the derivative, not the other way round. Renaming the original does not make sense. --Furfur ⁂ Diskussion 17:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Regarding [1] your edit summary is inaccurate. It was very frequently referred to as such, and that was its full name. It's also how the majority of scholars refer to it.

We need your feedback!
Hello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!
I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.
We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.
Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.
Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi, here at Commons we try to work by some approximation of group consensus. So opening a discussion about a category, renaming it anyway, then closing the discussion just seven minutes later is hardly "consensus", is it? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Cleanup Schriever Space Force Base
Recently, I am trying to reorganize most of the categories related to the US Space Force. However, when I renamed the Schriever Air Force Base category to Schriever Space Force Base and tried to move all the files, I found that the files moved to a maintenance category instead, and when I tried to move all those files in the maintenance categories back to SSFB, I found that several images unrelated to the base (or any kind of military in particular) are also categorized. So I need expert editors to cleanup the category. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 11:44, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Why remove the category of Cape Caveral LC-26 from the photo of the LC-26 blockhouse( File:LC-26 blockhouse.jpg? Bubba73 (talk) 07:12, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, there is a museum at the location of former LC-26 called Air Force Space and Missile Museum.

So I removed the LC-26 blockhouse from the category. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 07:17, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Two issues with recent activity
Hi Soumya. First, why are you moving elements of the Japanese Experiment Module from their official names to nicknames? Please stop this.
Second, why did you copy multiple images from SpaceX CRS-22 to Cargo Dragon C209? This is very unnecessary, as CRS-22 is a subcat of C209, and goes against standard Commons practice. The spacecraft is part of the mission from integration to a point past unloading, not just while it is launching or in space.
Thanks! — Huntster (t @ c) 18:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I have reverted my Cargo Dragon edits. In the case of the JEM, the module was known in its official name when the categories were created. When the whole module got the nickname "Kibo", the name is used in virtually everywhere, even in the present day (the abbreviation JEM is also used, but never its full form). So it is unlikely people will type "Japanese Experiment Module" while looking for Kibo. --Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:23, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Kibo has never been its official name. It is its nickname. See https://iss.jaxa.jp/en/kibo/, for example. Kibo is used as a simpler, easier to remember and use term, but Japanese Experiment Module was and remains the official title. If you're concerned about searchability, then create category redirects to the proper name. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I know, "Kibo" has never been the official name, but the official name "Japanese Experiment Module" is less common in formal publications since the adoption of the nickname. As I said before, it is unlikely for people to type the official name in the search bar for the module primarily known in its nickname, although node modules might be exceptions, where official names are also common (the Harmony module is also known as "Node 2" in general public). Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- As I said, create redirects rather than renaming and moving everything. It'll save you time and maintain correct information. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:35, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- As I noticed that a lot of ISS module names are in their nicknames, I thought the JEM and the PMM should too for the sake of consistency in category naming. I would do the opposite if the ISS module names were in their official names (like renaming "Kibo" to "Japanese Experiment Module", "Harmony" to "Node 2", "Destiny" to "US Laboratory Module" etc.). Anyway, thank you and happy editing. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:39, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, that's where you have to be especially careful. The nodes, for example, were officially renamed. They started life as Nodes, but were renamed through internal efforts and public competitions. See [2] and [3] as example sources. Things aren't always so simple. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

As I said before, it is unlikely for people to type the official name in the search bar for the module primarily known in its nickname, although node modules might be exceptions, where official names are also common (the Harmony module is also known as "Node 2" in general public). Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Kibo has never been its official name. It is its nickname. See https://iss.jaxa.jp/en/kibo/, for example. Kibo is used as a simpler, easier to remember and use term, but Japanese Experiment Module was and remains the official title. If you're concerned about searchability, then create category redirects to the proper name. — Huntster (t @ c) 18:26, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
As a separate observation, I note you changed "Satellite trails" to Satellite flares. While some changes needed to happen there, Satellite flares are a subtype of Satellite trails. Flares are brief flashes of reflected light (i.e., Iridium), where trails are consistent tracks in the sky (like what the ISS would present). — Huntster (t @ c) 18:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Quick note about some language quirks: "in" and "at" are used in weird ways, and for specific locations like KSC and CCSFS, "at" would be most appropriate. See https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/vs/using-at-vs-in-for-place-and-time-correctly.html for a more in-depth explanation. Additionally, in normal use, Kennedy Space Center (or CCSFS for that matter) should not have a "the" preceding it in prepositional phrases. Strangely enough though, in common usage, similar locations like "Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Center" do prepend "the". English makes no sense sometimes, because it's such a mutt of a language. — Huntster (t @ c) 15:47, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing this out, as English is not my first language and I will be more careful on creating categories. However, in Commons, categories related to the Kennedy Space Center always have a definite article before the name of the spaceport, so I can't fix that thing at all. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:20, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- It's all good. I didn't mean for you to have to change anything, just wanted it to be a note for the future. I know, painfully, just how obtuse English can be when it's a second or third language. — Huntster (t @ c) 20:54, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Stripping out categories (yet again)
Why are you bulk depopulating valid cats Category:Kennedy Space Center in 1968 ?
See [4] and many others. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:50, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Actually I had conflicting ideas on what to include or whatnot to avoid overcat issues. I previously categorised whole missions into the category, later only its launch categories. Now I am quite firm in my opinion that only the launch categories should be categorised if available. So I am partially reverting the mass depopulation as a result of this. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:18, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- You seem to do this an awful lot: implementing badly thought out changes, then sometimes reverting them wholesale (or just leaving them broken, like calling reentry vehicles "modules", even when they're the entire vessel). How about if you just stop making any of these bulk changes whenever the whimsy takes you, but you instead try discussing them beforehand and seeing what other editors think? – just as how we're supposed to work here. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:39, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

- In what world is a nuclear missile RV (or at least, a prototype for one) File:Black Knight Gamma 201 engine and re-entry head.jpg a "reentry capsule" ? If you rescope the category, what about the RVs in it which are similarly not any sort of capsule?

- But are you aware of criterion 4, esp this:
- Just because images share a category does not mean that they are part of a set. There are two scenarios that this criterion is designed for. First, certain complex templates (such as those that use BSicons or that display football kits) assume that the images used in them will follow a specific naming convention. Wikisource also uses a specific naming convention for the source files they transcribe. Second, files that form parts of a whole (such as scans from the same book or large images that are divided into smaller portions due to Commons’ upload size restriction) should follow the same naming convention so that they appear together, in order, in categories and lists.
- How does this apply? --Isderion (talk) 23:24, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- The first scenario applies for the rendering, that it is a NASA image and images from NASA should follow the naming convention of "Image name (ID)" convention. I upload most images from NASA in this convention. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:36, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Where was the naming convention agreed upon? Which complex template requires the NASA images to be in the mentioned convention? --Isderion (talk) 20:51, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- I don't want to comment further on this as I have resoluted not to re-request any declined move request. Instead, I will create redirects for them. Soumya-8974 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:37, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello.
Can you fix File:Black Sea Economic Cooperation.svg? In this map, a duplicate of Italy is covering the Balkans.
Can you add the border of South Sudan in File:BSEC Map.png?
Can you also color Vietnam in red in File:Countries without a primate city.svg? That country has no en:primate city, because en:Ho Chi Minh City is less than twice the size of en:Hanoi.
Can you also apply the exact same changes in File:Countries without a primate city.png by copy pasting the SVG version to this map?

Category: Data graphics.
You recently created (May 25, 2024) Category:Statistical graphics.
Can we change it to Category:Data graphics? It means the same thing, is shorter, and is easier to remember.
If we agree, we can do it quickly ourselves with HotCat. And if we agree, I won't have to go through Commons:Categories for discussion.
"Data graphics" is used in the real world. Do google searches of it. An example:
That page discusses data graphics of all kinds: Charts, graphs, scatter plots, etc..
A choropleth map is a statistical thematic map. So it also is a data graphic.
Another advantage of "data graphic": Data graphics, unlike "statistical graphics", can eventually be shortened to "datagraphics". --Timeshifter (talk) 19:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Removing "Countries of Europe"
Hello, I noticed you removed the template "Countries of Europe" from different country Categories ?
Can you tell me what is the reason for this deletion ?
This template is very useful to navigate between different countries. Without it, it becomes painful to do it.
Sincerely,
Pmau (talk) 08:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- I was replacing the template with {{Country category}}, which not only does the same job as "Countries of X" templates but also automatically categorizes a country to its desired categories. For example, putting {{Country category}} in Germany provides a table to navigate between the countries of Europe and also categorizes Germany to Countries of Europe by name and Countries by name.

At [5] I undid one of your closures with an explanation. I noticed at [6], you closed it agin, without my point being addressed and you provided a conclusion that doesn't address it either. Was there any urgency why you closed it? Would you reopen it?
If you feel like closing discussions, you could close the ~25 additional subpages on the topic now merged at [7].
Also, I noticed you open a large number of discussions, but tend to not engage in them beyond opening them. I think it would be more productive if you follow up on your own discussions instead of opening even more. Enhancing999 (talk) 07:37, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I think that it is time that you took a refresh of the community policies around moves. special:diff/893863386 is not one that should have been made without community consultation, and it was very poorly carried out. I also dispute that after 4 years that there was the consensus to undertake Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/01/Category:Kites especially without consideration for all the other aspects of that nomenclature, that are now unresolved. It is the same mess that you undertook for Georgia. I ask that you stop closing those discussions, you are not solving issues. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Category:Historical images of xxxx
Hello there. Just wanted to know is there any specific reason behind re-categorizing the images in the 'Category:Historical images of ...'? If there's any discussion or consensus on this somewhere, then please do share. Otherwise, it really does not make any sense to merge them with 'Category:History of xxx'.

- @DesiBoy101 Yes, there's a discussion on "historical images" categories at Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/09/Category:Historical images. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 16:40, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I strongly disagree !
Hi Sbb1413. I strongly disagree with your changes of the category names "Historical Images of XYZ" to "History of XYZ". The "History of..." categories collect images of historical events of a place. We have a lot of historical images that have nothing to do with the history of a place, they are simply an old image of a house, or a building, or a church of a place, or of works of art of a museum. Just an old image, a historical image. So it is not correct to put these images in the "History..." category. Please stop this senseless move of categories! Thank you. DenghiùComm (talk) 16:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- @DenghiùComm: Please see Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/09/Category:Historical images. I think someone said it there, but putting an image of something with the name "historical" in it makes it sound like that thing has historical significance. While everything intrinsically has to do with the history of an area, not everything is historically important. In fact, most things aren't. So putting random files in a category called "historical images" makes zero sense. All it serves is to make something look categorized when it actually isn't because the category is totally ambiguous. At the end of the end day most "history" categories shouldn't contain files directly in the anyway. They should all be put in sub-categories by date or subject. Putting them in something like "History" or "historical images" is just a lazy, low effort way to not do that. --Adamant1 (talk) 07:08, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Redirects for "historical images" categories
Hi. I think we're better off just deleting the categories instead of redirecting them. Otherwise people will just be more prone to reverting the edit, which I really don't feel deal with. Plus redirects show up searches for categories containing "historical images", making it much harder to find ones that need to be dealt with. I'm not really looking to spend most of my time cleaning things up browsing through redirects just so I can find a category that legitimately needs to be deleted. Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 07:02, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
- I didn't think much about it. I'll empty the categories instead of redirecting them. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 08:33, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:Women standing marked as speedy delete
Hi, I think that since this category contains subcategories, we should not delete it. Please can you remove the speedy deletion template? Or alternatively, you may edit the template that categorizes the subcategories, so that they will be placed in the correct one?
Same remarks about this one too: Category:Nude people standing
Thanks in advance, best regards from France, -- AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 08:18, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Alno: Thanks for reply. I want to move Category:Standing women → Category:Women standing and Category:Nude standing people → Category:Nude people standing, and the category redirects are blocking such moves. The moves are due to the consensus at Commons:Categories for discussion/2021/11/Category:People by posture. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 12:49, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- You're welcome :) I understand and share your concern about the need to rename these categories, but I still think that the categorization template should be fixed first, to avoid sending visitors to the wrong old deleted category... I can try to fix it but it seems rather complex :/
- -- AlNo (discuter/talk/hablar/falar) 13:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Alno: Which template should I fix? Neither Category:Standing women nor Category:Nude standing people are using any categorization templates, as I have temporarily replaced them with manual categorization. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 13:38, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
Kolkata Metro orange line
hey! How do you make the route map of Kolkata metro orange line? Can you tell? 2405:201:900E:F003:E0ED:EEAA:D221:8D9 14:28, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Can you adjust to add Cat:LGBT people by gender identity for non-binaries and transgenders? Web-julio (talk) 03:23, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Also adjust to include Category:LGBT people by sexual orientation. Web-julio (talk) 03:25, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- Done. Thank you. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 03:57, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- It didn't change anything on the categorization. Where does it change? Web-julio (talk) 11:08, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Web-julio: The change is on the list you've cited. You can simply add {{category navigation|people}} above categories for automatic categorization. You can also purge the cache by pressing F5 (Chrome). Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs • uploads) 11:11, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- I meant the automatic categorization. For example, in Cat:Gay men: Category:LGBT men by identity and Category:Men by sexual orientation should be replaced by Category:LGBT men by sexual orientation; and in Category:Non-binary people: Category:People by gender and Category:LGBT people by identity should be replaced with Category:LGBT people by gender identity.
