Overijse school Processiestraat.jpg

Hello, I changed the categories for this image because those seem to be simple buildings, not schools. your individual claim that "this is a school" is not enough. What it the name of this school? Further, there are two buildings in the picture, so one of them ought to be a "non-school building". That's why I thought that the category "Buildings in Belgium" is better. I hope you understand.--Sanomi (talk) 20:04, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I added a note to the image, so when you move the cursor over the image you see that the building in the center is the school called "Gemeentelijke Basisschool Overijse". On the left you see a very small part of the Market Hall. Therefore I find it important to have the category "Schools in Belgium". Regards, Wouter (talk) 20:58, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Category:Posted to Wikimedia Foundation Pinterest

Hey Wouter! I work on the social media accounts for the Foundation. Thought your photo was fantastic, so I added it to this Pinterest board containing great public domain towers on Commons, so more people from outside of the movement could see it. I tag these to keep track of everything that's linked externally. Let me know if you have any other questions (or if you want the image taken down!) AJohnson (WMF) (talk) 16:44, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

More specific category for File:Hets i mörker, 3.jpg

Hi! I noticed you placed File:Hets i mörker, 3.jpg into Category:Sweden. I'm one of the users trying to keep that category and many of its subcategories in an orderly state, and as you can see, this is currently the only photo that has not been placed into a more specific subcategory.

Unfortunately the file does not contain a useful description, and I don't recognise what it depicts. Since you knew that it was taken in or somehow related to Sweden, I am hoping that you can assist with information on where in Sweden it was taken, or how it otherwise relates to Sweden. Cheers! —LX (talk, contribs) 01:27, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Working on Category:Media needing categories I saw this photo and found it worthwhile to add a category. Using Google translate I found out that the title of the file was in Swedish. So I hoped that by adding the category "Sweden" somebody in Sweden could give a more specific category. I have seen that now categories about the subject have been added. Cheers Wouter (talk) 09:23, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Fundação Berardo

Hello, thanks for noticing me at wiki-pt. Here is the website of the place: [1]. The property was formerly known as Monte Palace Hotel, and after it passed to the Berardo Foundation became known, at least among us, natives of the island, as Fundação Berardo, though perhaps it isn't exactly correct as the foundation is much larger than that. Maybe the category name should be changed to "Monte Palace", or "Monte Palace Tropical garden", what do you think?

The place includes an African art and a gem (geology) museum (you can view that under "Museu Monte Palace" link), and many sculptures, Oriental art, ruins, etc. are on display at the gardens, along with the Guinness vase which was incorrectly described as being in the Botanical Garden.

Best regards, -- Darwin ^Ahoy! 09:21, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I think that renaming to "Monte Palace Tropical Garden (Funchal)" may be better. Also a paragraph in en:Monte (Funchal) may be useful. Best regards, Wouter (talk) 09:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Tervuren Hoefijzer

Hallo Wouter, perhaps you don't live too far from Tervuren. I'd like to write an article about the lost castle of the dukes of Brabant and its residual, the Hoefijzer. Seen from the Voer lake, the Hoefijzer looks very impressive, you know. Until today, I didn't know that its merely baracks, I thought, it were the royal summer residence. So I'd prefer to have a photo of that impressive view (lake with Hoefijzer) as a starter for the article. Last summer and this March, I passed Tervuren and the lake by bike, but both times I had other priorities than taking photos. And I live in Bremen.

Yours' sincerely, Ulamm (talk) 12:29, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Hallo Ulamm. Indeed I do no live too far from Tervuren, but I have been there only once to take photos. I do not know where Kaserne Panquin (Hoefijzer) is. Could you give me the coordinates for example by using Google Earth? May be that I have the opportunity to go there to take photos. Best regards, Wouter (talk) 13:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick answer. I was not so quick, as I'm occupied by preparing a recommendation and presentation of a cycle track between Brussels and Cologne.

It is metrically 56,3130 North 6,0675 East (lilac figures on the topographic map). By 360° it is 50°49'25 North 4°30'45 East. If you stand on the northeastern end of lake "Kasteelvijver" and look towards Tervuren town, you see it like a palace over and behind the trees of the small peninsula that bore the true castle, before that one was torn down in late 18th century.--Ulamm (talk) 09:42, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

From your description I expect that it is like the photo on http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/31902860.jpg or http://www.panoramio.com/photo/31902860 Is that right? (from the coordinates 56,3130 North 6,0675 East and 50°49'25 North 4°30'45 East I arrived at other places). Wouter (talk) 20:32, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes, it is that bilding, seen from the northern end of the Kasteel Vijver. The photos, you've found, even show the site of the true castle, in the aisle between lake and building. I think, the building looks higher, if the photo is taken from a longer distance, using a zoom.--Ulamm (talk) 11:20, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I have taken photos and I hope that a suitable one for you is amongst them. File:Tervuren Kasteelvijver A.jpg gives an overview, File:Tervuren Kasteelvijver B.jpg is more zoomed in. From the building you cannot see much because of the trees. For other photos see File:Tervuren Kasteelvijver C.jpg, File:Tervuren Kasteelvijver D.jpg and File:Tervuren Kasteelvijver E.jpg.

Re: Description template

Hi! I found interesting the changes you made to the category about Pizzo. The template I use (I'm not the creator, you should talk to User:Luigi Chiesa for translation issues and so on) to add a description in a municipality (comune) category lacks most of languages. Moreover, the names of the comuni have to be transliterated in other alphabets for Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese and other languages. All these changes should be done manually, but it's a lot of work! I'm drawing the maps of the location of all comuni within their provinces, and creating a category for each of them (or simply adding the template if it already exists)... There are 8,094 comuni in Italy, so you can figure out how big the work is! So I use a script for making the edits (but I still control the names manually to avoid ambiguities). If you find a way to make the changes you propose automatically, you're welcome! :-) Otherwise, I can't do all this work alone! Best regards, -- Vonvikken (talk) 23:05, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, my script has the issue you described, it replaces all the content of the category with a predefined template that includes only the Italian link. Before running the script, however, I check whether there are additional categories to restore (as I did here) or not, but I forget to do the same thing with the interwikis. On the other hand, most of these categories don't even have the Italian link, so it hasn't been such a bad problem so far... :-) Thanks for telling me about the sum-it-up, I'll use it next time, and I will check also the interwikis. Best regards, -- Vonvikken (talk) 13:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

patrolling

yeaaa, thaks for helping with patroling!

right, if you go to this page Commons:Counter_Vandalism_Unit, you will see all the patrolls to be done. But there is a really really good program for this. You need to add a line to your script page like I have done. See here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Amada44/vector.js. I have seen yours is at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Wouterhagens/monobook.js so add it there. If you have done that and cleared your cache then you can click here and you will have a wonderful tool for patrolling. I was just adding this to your page when I got your message ;-) so any question, ask, I am online! Amada44  ^{talk to me} 19:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I found out that I had to include the code for monobook.js. Clicking on here gives a nice start of the program with a turning wheel. Pressing on 'Apply' turns the button faint, but nothing happens (the turning wheel keeps rotating). I already closed Firefox 3.6.8 and started again. Do you know what to do? Thanks, Wouter (talk) 09:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

try clearing your cache, that often helps. Try deactivating this IRCBL (upper right corner) or click here. We will get this to work!! Amada44  ^{talk to me} 09:43, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Problem solved. Your link worked and mine did not. The difference was the IRCBL. Deactivating the IRCBL did not work; is was not "accepted", the URL remained the same. I made a bookmark of the working link. Thanks! Wouter (talk) 11:26, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Patrol error

Hi - earlier today you marked a page as patrolled created by an IP with the only content being "A short movie director. Has completed The Fl and currently busy with Monday Evening." This is certainly not within scope. Sadly as it was marked as patrolled it was less easy to find. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 13:49, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment. I tried to find the page with that description "A short movie director. Has completed The Fl and currently busy with Monday Evening", but could not find it. If possible, could you please give me the link to that page? I like to see why I considered it wrongly as patrolled. Thanks. Wouter (talk) 13:59, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

I deleted it but have undeleted it now and it is here so that you can see it (I'll deleted it again later unless someone else does. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 14:14, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Probably I know why I did it. I use Krinkle Real-Time Recent Changes. Seeing it is a new page, so nothing is deleted or changed (vandalism), it is not yet doing real harm provided the user adds further information, categories, etc. But indeed the page as it is now, is out of scope. You can delete it again. Thanks for the info. Wouter (talk) 14:29, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Pyke Koch

Dear Wouter, why are nl:Pyke Kochs (died 1991) stampdesigns like this one PD-old? Greets Sonty567 (talk) 15:44, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

See [2]. There is mentioned :"Prior to 1 January 1989, the government-owned corporation PTT made the stamps as being created by the company and as such was considered their author." So all stamps of 2009-70=1939 or earlier are copyright free. Wouter (talk) 20:04, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Dear Wouter. An apology first of all for my late reaction. I have read and tried to understand the (non-)copyrightstatus of these stamps. It seems to me you are right (IANAL). A second apology to the editting of these files from my side, I really thought it was copyright. Thank you for explaining the PD-status and keep up the good work. Regards.

Category:Lech Wałęsa‎

I think there is a difference between the interwikis for Category:Lech Wałęsa and interwikis for the page Lech Wałęsa -- Alan ffm (talk) 15:36, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

In my opinion it is good to have all existing interwikis both with the pages and the categories. If there is a "category-interwiki" as with Lech Wałęsa in the Polish Wikipedia, it is better to use that with categories in Commons. The main purpose is that users can find additional information as easy as possible. For example Category:Poznań does not have any interwiki link to a category. To delete for that reason all interwiki links is not a good idea in my opinion. Best regards, Wouter (talk) 17:56, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: Deleting information

I think the user can get additional information from the corresponding Wikipedia articles already. So it is not necessary to repeat the same information on the category. However, I did add additional names (e.g. multilingual, or alternate name), so as to facilitate searching (to allow user to locate the category using non-English name or alternate name). --Minghong (talk) 02:50, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Dank, dat was inderdaad het probleem.

Female writers

Why did you create Category:Female writers from Sweden? Who wants this category? We already have category:Women of Sweden and Category:Men of Sweden to indicate gender. Now most Swedish writers are visible in Category:Writers from Sweden, but some of the women are hidden in a subcategory. There is no parallel category for male writers. That's unfair. There is no point in subdividing writers by gender. I suggest we remove your new category, and keep all in Category:Writers from Sweden. --LA2 (talk) 14:01, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree on that too. Moreover, if we have to create for all occupations, functions and roles a female version, we double or triple the number of categories: useless complications to me. --Foroa (talk) 14:44, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

For me that is fine, but I suggest to remove all 14 Female writers by country categories as well as the 18 Female politicians by country before more are created by others. Wouter (talk) 16:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

I agree, but I care most about the Swedish ones. --LA2 (talk) 19:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Just an idea/suggestion. Create a "Female writers from Sweden" gallery and a "Male writers from Sweden" gallery. In each gallery ONLY ONE image of a writer and as description the name and the year of birth (if known). When there exists a category of a writer, this description can be made as a link to that category. The images sorted on the DEFAULTSORT-name of the writer. If the gallery becomes too large they can be subdived in ranges of year of births. For example before 1950, between 1950 and 1970, etc. An interwikilink to sv:Kategori:Svenskspråkiga författare may be useful. Wouter (talk) 07:15, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Block IP

You should block this IP for editing/uploading unless signed in, if it isn't already for the commons. I know it is for the encyclopedia, but im unsure it that would automatically block the other wiki media as well. Reason for blocking: This IP is the standard IP for every computer and laptop in Westfield high school. Don't trust these kids. Allow them to log in and edit if they have an account because I work from here sometimes.

Pavilion from Finland

Hi! I saw you were in Expo'58. Do you have any photo of the pavilion from Finland? If so, could you upload it? Thank you!--Unai Fdz. de Betoño (talk) 19:51, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't have a photo of the pavilion from Finland. I have scanned all relevant photos I took and uploaded them to Commons. At that time I was careful to take too much photos because of the costs. Wouter (talk) 21:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Photographer's Barnstar

Hi! My name is Edoardo Bit, I am an architect and also a “young researcher” of the University of Ferarra (Italy). I am writing a book on the “green walls technologies” and I have found very interesting a photo in your page. So, I would kindly ask you if I can use it in my book. Obviously, if you gently decide to grant me the permission, your name (or your nickname) and the link of the picture will be correctly cited in the credits of my publication. The photo which I would use is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Liriope_muscari_A.jpg Thank you very much! I hope you will attend my request… My e-mail is: edoardo.bit@gmail.com Bye, Edoardo Edoardo.bit (talk) 10:38, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Het Koetshuis, Bennekom

Tot mijn grote teleurstelleing heb je de Panoramahoeve, Panoramaweg 23, in Bennekom op de foto gezet. Ik ben echter op zoek naar een foto van restaurant Het Koetshuis, Panoramaweg 23-a, te Bennekom. Het naastgelegen pand dus. Heb je misschien nog een vergeten foto van dit restaurant op voorraad? Daar wordt namelijk mij artikel op ENWP over het restaurant zoveel fraaier van. Met vriendelijke groet, Night of the Big Wind (talk) 22:49, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Jammer dat je zo teleurgesteld bent door de foto die ik heb genomen. Helaas heb ik geen foto van het koetshuis en kan ook niet even een foto daar gaan nemen omdat ik een paar honderd km er vandaan woon. Heeft het Koetshuis zelf geen foto die ze copyright-vrij beschikbaar kunnen stellen? Groeten, Wouter (talk) 07:33, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Sof, het is niet anders. Ik gokte erop dat je alleen de Panoramahoeve op Commons had gezet en Het Koetshuis niet. Pech dus. Maar uitgaande van de "paar honderd kilometer" denk ik dat je tegenwoordig net zo min in Nederland woont als ik doe. Ik ben tegenwoordig neergestreken in Ierland, ook niet echt een eenvoudige lokatie om de bossen van Bennekom in te duiken. Toch mijn dank voor al jouw andere foto's!

Category:Stamps of the Netherlands duplicates

The "Category:Stamps of the Netherlands" has many duplicated categories with duplicated files. Eg. Category:Stamps of the Netherlands 1900-1922 has a sub category with the same name and some duplicate files. There is also a Page in the category "Stamps of the Netherlands" with the same name and the same files. Can this be cleaned up? Arno-nl (talk) 20:24, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Dag Arno-nl. Omdat ik zag dat je moedertaal Nederlands is geef ik maar antwoord in het Nederlands. Je sprak van veel "duplicated categories", maar ik denk dat je je vergist. Bijvoorbeeld Category:Stamps of the Netherlands 1900-1922 heeft geen subcategorie met dezelfde naam, maar een pagina of gallery met dezelfde naam. Zo'n pagina geeft de gelegenheid om bijvoorbeeld een selectie te maken van zegels, een andere omschrijving te geven bij het plaatje dan de bestandsnaam. Vergelijk bijvoorbeeld de Category:Bruges en de pagina Brugge.

Een aantal jaren terug hadden de pagina's een veel belangrijkere functie en waren veel plaatjes niet in een categorie ingedeeld. Toen is besloten dat alle plaatjes in ieder geval in een categorie moesten worden geplaatst. Zoals uit de geschiedenis van de pagina is te zien is er sinds 2008 niets meer aan gedaan. Als je bedoelt met clean up verwijderen zou ik dat niet doen. Voor de geheugenruimte van Wikipedia maakt het niets uit. Belangrijker vind ik te kijken of plaatjes een extra categorie erbij kunnen hebben zodat een gebruiker die zoekt naar iets het makkelijker kan vinden. Wouter (talk) 21:41, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Dank je voor de uitleg. Helder. Uitgiftejaar is een zinvolle aanvulling, naast de al bestaande uitgifteperiode. Dat is het ankerpunt voor alle catalogi. Ik ga ermee aan de slag. Arno-nl (talk) 17:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2013! Please help with this survey. Dear Wouterhagens/Archives/2010, Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2013, and for sharing your pictures with the whole world! We would like to ask again a few minutes of your time. Thanks to the participation of people like you, the contest gathered more than 365,000 pictures of cultural heritage objects from more than 50 countries around the world, becoming the largest photography competition to have ever taken place. You can find all your pictures in your upload log, and are of course very welcome to keep uploading images and help develop Wikimedia Commons, even though you will not be able to win more prizes (just yet). If you'd like to start editing relevant Wikipedia articles and share your knowledge with other people, please go to the Wikipedia Welcome page for more information, guidance, and help. To make future contests even more successful than this year, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in a short survey. Please fill in this short survey in your own language, and help us learn what you liked and didn't like about Wiki Loves Monuments 2013. Kind regards, the Wiki Loves Monuments team

Ingiriya Wikipedia Page

Dear Sir, I was wondering that you have requested to delete the following files on wikimedia. File:Ingiriya Drainage.jpg File:Ingiriya Location.jpg File:Ingiriya Land Use.jpg File:Ingiriya Map.jpg

All these files were personally made by me. If you don't know about it you should not interfere with it. I never come to your pages in Netherlands or any other places and criticize. If you were a Sri lankan I accept, but how can you argue with a media which you don't know anything about. Not like your countries, we have small resources here. We do not have google street view maps. So we have to edit maps to show our data. It is not harming to anyone. Every city in Sri lanka do the same. So before pointing out please do a research about it. If you have no idea about it, please back off sir.I don't get money for any thing I post. I am doing a website for my home town. All these photos are copyrights of that website. So I have to put the logo. Nobody from our country complained about it, our city is a smallest city in our country, so how can you complain it. No personal issues with you. But I neglect your complains. If you see it as a fault, you keep quiet. Because none of our country people has a problem with it. Thanks A Lot !

I understand your arguments. The point is however that images on Commons should be such that they can be used by others for example "Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially." See creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/. If somebody wants to eliminate the watermark on for example photo File:Ingiriya Flood02.JPG there is no problem because by cropping the watermark can be eliminated easily. On image File:Ingiriya Land Use.jpg it is extremely difficult to remove the watermark "ingiriya.com". If you could replace it by an image without the watermark, that would be wonderful. I found out that the site "www.ingiriya.com" is for sale, so the watermark is also meaningless. In my opinion there is no need for the watermark because the license is clearly defined in the text below the description. Wouter (talk) 09:41, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for taking part in the Wiki Loves Monuments participants' survey! Dear Wouterhagens/Archives/2010, Thank you for taking part in the Wiki Loves Monuments participants' survey. Your answers will help us improve the organization of future photo contests! In case you haven't filled in the questionnaire yet, you can still do so during the next 7 days. And by the way: the winning pictures of this year's international contest have been announced. Enjoy! Kind regards, the Wiki Loves Monuments team

Categories fyki

Hi, as being tagged {categorize} has been fixed, please see p.e. here, thx Roland zh (talk) 18:57, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! My main activity is to categorize medium to very good images in the long list of "Media needing categories requiring human attention". Using the description, file name, Google translate and other contributions of the user I try to find the most relevant category. This will be usually a higher level category (for example a city). I like to spend my time preferably more on giving good images a category that will be in the right direction than to spend time to find the exact category in an area where I am not so familiar with. My compliments for the work you do to put images about South India in the right category! Wouter (talk) 08:19, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

gebruik van foto

Beste Wouter Hagens, ik zou in het tijdschrift Gevaarlijke Lading (www.gevaarlijkelading.nl) graag jouw foto plaatsen van'klein gevaarlijk afval klaar om opgehaald te worden' (bij trefwoord 'KCA'). Als ik Wikimedia Commons goed begrijp, is dat toegestaan. Klopt dat? Ik lees verder niks over een bronvermelding. Wil je dat ik jou als bron vermeld? Groet, Louise Wagenaar, hoofdredacteur Gevaarlijke Lading, Contact: l.wagenaar@sdu.nl.

Je kunt het zonder probleem gebruiken. Vermeldt als bron "Wikimedia Commons". Ter informatie: de bedoeling was dat de wagen voor het ophalen van KCA zou komen. Omdat die niet kwam (en pas de volgende dag kon komen) hebben de mensen het na een tijd wachten maar gewoon neergezet. Groet, Wouter (talk) 13:18, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Dank je Wouter!

Pics improvement

I guess than in more than one case you're right about the absence of real improvement in the pictures, but in some other cases the change is more than evident and even some of the original uploaders thanked me for the changes I've made to their pictures. Actually, my goal is to put more colour to some pictures where it seems that too much light (or too much darkness) in the pic takes off most of the original colours, adding something like a white (or black, depends on the pics subject) filter over it. I guess that my english level can't really help me to explain with precision what are the exact changes I'm making to the pics, but you can be assured that I'm not doing it with bad intentions... Quite the opposite actually, since I'm contributing in Wikipedia and Commons since nearly five years, without posing any real problems due to my behaviour or my contributions. Of course, then, it's up to you or other users (especially the original uploaders of the pics I've made changes to) to revert them to their original state. No offense, of course, would be taken by me as it's a scenario I was quite prepared to (I guess not all people would accept with the same enthusiasm any changes which are made to their pics...), even from the start of my actions. As I said before, in order to sum up, if you think that some of the newer version of pics I uploaded don't look nice or can't really stay up for any reason, feel free to revert them; and the same is for the original uploaders. I know it can be seen as... at least suspicious to have a user uploading newer versions of other people works, but everything I've done, was done in good faith and in order to improve the pics and all of it with good intentions. If this offended or posed any problems to other users then I can only say that I'm really sorry for this and that it wasn't in any of my intentions.

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). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:USSAlpine(APA92).jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Category:Meridian (ship, 2003)

Please be careful with categorizing, you filled Category:Meridian (ship, 2003) with pictures of a pleasure craft that is completely irrelevant to the survey vessel. (i.e. diff.) ~riley (talk) 20:29, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Cei Newydd

You categorised File:Cei NewyddLB05.JPG: hanes golygu under Aberaeron. That's like categorising London images under Wolverhampton. The clue is in the file name - it's called 'Cei Newydd'. John Jones (talk) 05:42, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Cei Newydd Is not an existing category. Please put it in the right category yourself as you know the environment apparently better than I do. Wouter (talk) 06:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I changed to speedy request (see above) into a proper deletion request. Should be fine. Hope you're not too annoyed. --Hedwig in Washington ^(mail?) 08:47, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

If you don't know...

...or don't understand the correct city or location as well as in this in this case please not do not use a category of a specific location but rather move the file to a generic category like Category:Italy or if you just are unsure of the italian region Category:Lombardy. We think then Italians users to insert images correctly in subcategories, in this case a photo of Category:Arluno, not Category:Milan. Thanks.--Threecharlie (talk) 17:45, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments Threecharlie. I based my selection on the info on Villas and palaces in Milan in the English WP under the heading "list of palaces of the 15th century". I thought that "Buildings in Milan" would be generic enough in this case, but I overlooked that there is mentioned Palazzo Pozzobonelli-Isimbardi and that Palazzo Pozzobonelli Lambertenghi is a different one. Thanks that you corrected it. Wouter (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Don't put files in a generic category. If you don't know enough, just let it uncategorized!--Alexander Hug (talk) 17:47, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

In my opinion it is just the opposite. If you don't know, put files in a generic category. Files that are uncategorized can in general be considered as lost in particular when the description is not very good. I suggest you visit Category:Media needing categories requiring human attention and categorize each day a number of uncategorized media. Wouter (talk) 06:23, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, being bold is OK, but please note that this was terribly wrong. → «« Man77 »» ^[de] 10:08, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

File:Expo58 building Japan inside.jpg

Dear Wouter Hagens I am writing to seek permission to include your image of the interior of the Japan pavilion at Expo 1958 that you took in July 1958. The file name is: “Expo58 building Japan inside.jpg”. I am an Associate Professor of Japanese history at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia and have written an academic paper entitled “Atoms for Peace in Brussels and Osaka: World’s Fairs and the Shaping of Japanese Attitudes to Nuclear Power” which will be included in a book entitled World's Fairs in the Era of the Cold War: Science, Technology, and the Culture of Progress. The book is being edited by Arthur Molella (Director Emeritus, Lemelson Center, Smithsonian Institution) and Scott Knowles (Drexel University), and will be published by University of Pittsburgh Press in 2018 or soon after.

I have not used images from Wikimedia Commons before and unsure whether the GNU Free Documentation License would normally allow this. Because of this, I am writing for formal approval. I will, of course, attribute the photograph to you. Should you wish to email me directly, my email address is: m.low@uq.edu.au

Thanks in advance for considering this request.

Yours sincerely

Morris Low — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morrislow (talk • contribs) 02:20, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

No problem in using it. There are the images in Commons for. --Wouter (talk) 08:58, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
