Edits to Calderdale and Kirklees articles

Hi, I see you are doing a lot of recategorising of West Yorkshire files, such as those in Category:Calderdale and Category:Kirklees, West Yorkshire. It's probably worth warning you that unless you remove the {{Check categories-Geograph}} then the next time the bot comes past it will probably put them back in the top level category, assuming it is no smarter than it is now of finding places in metropolitan counties. I'm trying to work through the Category:Kirklees, West Yorkshire articles, only 2.5k to go :( Scillystuff (talk) 12:26, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the tip! I wonder if that's how so many articles ended up in categories for multiple municipalities. I'm mostly working with the Calderdale stuff, but I was thinking of trying to work on the Kirklees stuff, too -- I'm glad to see I won't be the only one! I'll try to stick to Calderdale right now, though, so I won't conflict with what you're doing. I only got into this in the first place because I got interested in pub signs, which led to pubs, which led to buildings, and Calderdale and West Yorkshire are where I happened to end up! --Auntof6 (talk) 12:34, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Bradford vs City of Bradford

Hi, me again. I see you created Category:places in Bradford as a sub category of Category:Bradford, then moved it to a sub category of Category:City of Bradford. There have been some heated debates on [en:wikipedia] but I think the (current) outcome is that Bradford refers to the settlement of Bradford, given city status in 1897 and City of Bradford refers to the metropolitan county, which was also given city status in 1974. I guess this means if you want to put "places" such as Haworth or Baildon in the category, then it should be Category:Places in the City of Bradford but "places" such as Shearbridge or Lister Hills which are in the City ward of Bradford would be in Category:places in Bradford. I wonder if they have two Mayors... Scillystuff (talk) 17:46, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

I meant for it to refer to the metropolitan county. I'll ask for it to be renamed. Thanks again! --Auntof6 (talk) 22:32, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Districts in Lancashire

Hi, sorry to keep you waiting, I missed your message previously. I think it was deleted by a NUKE process, because there was a guy who created about 1000 categories, most of them being sub-sub-sub-sub-subcats of themselves, in insanely specific terms, such as "brain science in (small village)". It was just a waste of space so I nuked the lot. Unfortunately some possibly decent ones got caught in the crossfire. Please feel free to recreate. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:55, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Auntof6, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one.
• Please do not tag redirects as {{speedy}}. Other projects, like InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Macedonian Museums images uploaded by Vlas2000

Hello, On 3-April-2012, you moved using Cat-a-lot, a series of images from "Category:Images from Greece" to "Category:Greece". Could you please undo your action, because the uploader already listed "Category:Museums in Greece" which links up to "Category:Greece", making your move redundant. The two non-existing "Category:Images from Museum ... in ... Greece" and "Category:Images from Greece" listed by the uploader should be at minimum left alone, i.e. not created, or better deleted from the images, because they are bad choices. Thank you. Tango7174 (talk) 15:34, 26 April 2012 (UTC).

Thanks for letting me know about this. I am running my bot through everything under Category:Museums in Greece and removing Category:Greece. That will take care of the redundancy.

As far as the redlinked categories for specific museums, I'm not sure I understand the concern. Are you saying that there shouldn't be categories for those museums, or that the categories for those museums (if created) should be named differently, or something else? My take is that, if a category is needed, the category name should just be the name of the museum. If I understood the issue, I'd be glad to help take care of it. It would be easy to use Cat-a-lot to move files to different (new or existing) categories or just remove them from the redlinked categories altogether. Let me know how I can help. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:04, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for having responded so swiftly to my request. What I meant by bad choices is their bad names, with the words "Images from", then the full listing of their location including city, region, country while these details should be parent categories. Ideally, a new category should be created for each one of those museums with just their name, and linked accordingly. Since there are close to 500 images and probably over 100 museums, this will be fastidious. A less demanding job is to create a museum category by Macedonian city, such as "Museums in Aiani", "Museums in Nymphaio", etc. and then use Cat-a-lot to move images from "Category: Museums in Greece". Which I'm ready to help doing, since I have a good idea of the geography of Greece; however it will take me a good while to complete, considering my time schedule. At the end, the non-existing "Category:Images from Museum ... in ... Greece" should still be deleted from the image files, for which you could help since you have the capability of mass deletion. Thank you. Tango7174 (talk) 14:04, 28 April 2012 (UTC).

Metacats

Hello. Why are you removing the metacat tag from metacats such as Category:Years in ice hockey? These are absolutely metacats. They are poorly named (they ought to be worded like most other year categories on Commons, e.g. "Ice hockey by year"), but poor naming does not change their function. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 16:18, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I guess the poor names misled me, plus the fact that not all the "Years in" categories were tagged as metacategories. How about if I put in requests to have the names changed to "Foo by year", and put in proper metacat tags? (By "proper", I mean something like, for example, {{metacat|year|Spaceflight}} instead of {{metacat|years in|topic=years|topic2=spaceflight}}. At least, that's my understanding of how the tag should be coded.) --Auntof6 (talk) 16:41, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

That would be fantastic. These cats have been a mess for ages, so I was worried that removing the metacat tag was making a bad situation worse. Your suggested course of action is completely the right one. Let me know if I can help. Thanks. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 18:11, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

OK, the metacat tags are put back, and all "Years in" categories are now listed at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. Now we wait for action/reaction. I'm wondering if there are templates that put thing into "Years in" categories; if so, those templates should probably be changed. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:52, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Category:Church of the Transfiguration in Brzozów

Hello. I saw that you had removed subcategory Category:Churches in Subcarpathian Voivodeship by city from Category:Church of the Transfiguration in Brzozów ([1]). Can you explain this change? Brzozów is in Subcarpathian Voivodeship and according to Commons:By location category scheme "by city" categories may refer to any settlement as large as a megalopolis or as small as a village. -- Cheers, CLI (talk) 03:27, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I removed it because Category:Churches in Subcarpathian Voivodeship by city is a metacategory that should contain only other categories by city, not categories (or media) for individual churches. There is no category for churches in Brzozów. You could make one, but there isn't one currently. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:34, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

OK, if you say so, let it be. ;) -- Cheers, CLI (talk) 19:18, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
