Yes, these (2nd picture) are rhombics. First picture is a map, not an antenna. --Cqdx (talk) 21:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Telecommunications antenna in Upernavik

Hi Cqdx,

Thanks for your efforts to help improve the categorization of antennas. I noticed you made this change to a photo I have uploaded containing a parabolic antenna, where all data, television and telephone communication takes place from the small Greenlandic settlement Upernavik 800 km north of the polar circle. From your edit it appears that you are of the opinion that it is not a telecommunications antenna. This surprises me, as I thought that an antenna used for transmitting telephone calls, internet data and television signals was a telecommunications antenna? Best wishes, --Slaunger (talk) 21:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I have moved, since alle antennas are for telecommunications. --Cqdx (talk) 07:15, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm, really? I can think of many types of antennas, which are not for telecommunication. For instance, I work with radar antennas. I do not think they can be considered for telecommunication. They are part of a sensor. Radiotelescopes are not for communication either - they are part of another sensor system just to mention another example. --Slaunger (talk) 07:34, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

I responded in the category discussion. --Cqdx (talk) 18:43, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Category:Radio broadcasting

Whoa! You're clearing out Category:Radio broadcasting with no consensus, during a deletion discussion that hasn't even started getting responses yet! How do you plan undoing every category change you did if this discussion is to keep the category, after all the files are mixed in together? --Closeapple (talk) 22:45, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, very obvious and trivial case. If the outcome should be different against all odds, I am able and willing to revert. --Cqdx (talk) 22:53, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Structural changes

If you make structural changes, please move first the contents and then change the top level. Please don't remove categories when issuing a speedy deletion. In your case, you better use {{Bad name|New name|Reason: Commons:Categories for discussion/2012/01/Category:Communications towers}} so people know where it has been moved to without having to reed the full CFD. --Foroa (talk) 11:12, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I already realised your "interference" - thanks for the hint. --Cqdx (talk) 11:13, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I think that you will get in troubles with the radio towers in Germany and the US, why I tried to stop the move. Your CFD has been closed a bit too quickly without clear conclusions. --Foroa (talk) 12:10, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

What problems do you foresee? --Cqdx (talk) 12:13, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Anyhow Category:Antenna towers and masts in Germany should now be ok. --Cqdx (talk) 12:28, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

• It might be worth actually looking at the images when you bulk move from one category to another. Not all antennas are on towers or masts, so moving everything from "Antennas in New Zealand" to "Antenna towers and masts in New Zealand" doesn't quite work.
  

  

  Is not a tower
  

  

  Is not a mast either
  . I'm sure such exceptions occur in other countries as well, you might want to give some more thought to the structure :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 10:23, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

pretty black-haired mast :) which I consider a funny but rare exception. Should probably not belong in a "by country category", since the visible connection to NZ is remote. --Cqdx (talk) 16:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Mi Amigo kleine

File:Mi Amigo kleine.jpg‎.
Radio Caroline is an English radio station founded in 1964 by Ronan O'Rahilly to circumvent the record companies' control of popular music broadcasting in the United Kingdom and the BBC's radio broadcasting monopoly. Unlicensed by any government for most of its early life, it was considered a pirate radio station. Reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Caroline

--F1jmm (talk) 20:11, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

It was on a Belgian boat, therefore operating under Belgian jurisdiction. --Cqdx (talk) 19:12, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Mi amigo was operating in non territorial waters, precisely not to be under any jurisdiction, why it was called a pirate radio. --Foroa (talk) 05:35, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Application of the provisions of this Part. The provisions of this Part apply to all parts of the sea that are not included in the exclusive economic zone, in the territorial sea or in the internal waters of a State, or in the archipelagic waters of an archipelagic State. This article does not entail any abridgement of the freedoms enjoyed by all States in the exclusive economic zone in accordance with article 58. Article109 Unauthorized broadcasting from the high seas. All States shall cooperate in the suppression of unauthorized broadcasting from the high seas. --F1jmm (talk) 06:05, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Some comments on all this: (1) Radio Caroline was called a "pirate" because that is what the British government called any radio station that government officials didn't like, even when the radio station was on land and fully licensed by its home country. The first and last major examples of these stations were both on land and were both labeled "pirate" by UK domestic broadcasters: Radio Luxembourg, which started in 1932; and Atlantic 252 (Ireland's legitimate longwave allocation), which started in 1989 and ended in 2002. (Both of those articles need references, though.) (2) As for whether this antenna needs to be classified by country: If a Belgian-registered MV Mi Amigo was docked in England, would that be an antenna mast in Belgium, an antenna mast in England, or both? My opinion is: Categories "in" places are about geography, not legal jurisdiction. Otherwise, Category:Embassies in Germany would only be embassies that weren't in Berlin or Bonn, instead of embassies that are in Berlin or Bonn. Some things simply aren't "in" a country. I have noticed this with the U.S. Navy photographs of ships underway also: We don't seem to have year or place categories for the "high seas". (3) The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea did not exist until 1982. (Some of its concepts were already long-standing traditions, however.) --Closeapple (talk) 16:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
