Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, RaveDog!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 startet in Kürze

Hallo RaveDog,

in Kürze ist es wieder soweit. Der nun schon traditionelle Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments wird im September zum vierten Mal stattfinden. In ähnlicher Form hatte unlängst der Wettbewerb "Wiki Loves Earth" eine erfolgreiche Premiere. Zu allen bisherigen vier Wettbewerben haben seit 2011 gut 3000 unterschiedliche Teilnehmer (User) ihren Beitrag geleistet. Du warst dabei, und bist auch herzlich eingeladen, am bevorstehenden WLM-Wettbewerb wieder dabei zu sein.

Allein in Deutschland wurden in den letzten drei Jahren im Rahmen von WLM rund 100.000 Fotos zu den insgesamt ca. 850.000 Kulturdenkmalen bundesweit hochgeladen. Jährlich haben sich mehrere Hundert Wiki-Fotographen daran beteiligt. Auch im kommenden Denkmalmonat wird dies gewiss wieder der Fall sein. Der Tag des offenen Denkmals am 14. September bietet bundesweit vielfältige Möglichkeiten, Denkmale nicht nur von außen, sondern auch von innen zu fotografieren. Denkmallisten sind dabei ein wichtiger Orientierungspunkt und zugleich auch Ziel der Einbindung der Fotos. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder neue Denkmallisten hinzugekommen, die hilfreich bei der Planung von individuellen oder Gruppen-Fototouren sind und auf eine Bebilderung warten, wie z.B. zu Görlitz oder Zittau. Unter den Landeshauptstädten fehlt nur noch Stuttgart. Aber auch hier ist Licht in Sicht.

In der Mitte Deutschlands hat die Denkmallandschaft der thüringischen Landeshauptstadt Erfurt nun das Licht der Wikipedia-Welt entdeckt. Mehr als 50 Tabellen enthalten 3.700 Denkmale. Allein die wunderschön restaurierte Altstadt umfasst 1.800 Denkmale. Eine von WMDE geförderte WLM-Fototour nach Erfurt am Wochenende vom 29. – 31. August lädt herzlich ein, diese einzigartige Kulturlandschaft zu dokumentieren. Mehr Informationen findest Du auf der Projektseite.

Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.

Viel Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.

( Bernd Gross, 16. August 2014)

Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen

Hallo RaveDog,

nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.

Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.

Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.

Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

( Bernd Gross, 6. August 2015)

Mass deletion of your uploads

If you don't like the way the files sound; you can always create a new version and re-upload the file instead. All those files are in use and removing them would damage several projects. Cheers, Ruthven (msg) 19:06, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Things named after

Hallo, das mit den Benennungen ist oft komplizierter als es auf den ersten Blick aussieht. Diverse Hirschstraßen sind eigentlich nach Gasthäusern benannt und nur indirekt nach dem Tier. Die Badener Straße in Gernsbach führt nach Baden-Baden, das bis 1931 nur "Baden" hieß. Diese Massenkategorisierungen erzeugen manchmal nur Scheinwissen. Sitacuisses (talk) 11:51, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

Lieber RaveDog, vielen Dank für Deine (Fleiß-)Arbeit! IMHO bringt diese Syntax einen großen Mehrwert. Einmal sortiert beflügelt es, es zu vervollständigen. Und dann wird es etwas Großes, Ganzes!

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Landkreis Heilbronn in the 20st century. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Jmabel ! talk 04:17, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function und andere

Hi, Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function ist mE etwas konfus. Erstens ist da eine infinite Kategorienschleife: Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function beinhaltet Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function beinhaltet Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function ... Kategorien sollten sich nicht selbst enthalten. Weitere Fälle gerne unter User:Herzi_Pinki/cat_circles (so habe ich zu dieser Kat gefunden und es betrifft weitere von dir angelegte Kategorien).

Dann ist die Reihenfolge verkehrt:

• Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function gehört nicht als Teil zu Category:Church doors in Baden-Württemberg, sondern die Unterkategorie Category:Church doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis‎ gehört zu Category:Church doors in Baden-Württemberg (Test: Ist jede Tür im Rhein-Neckar-Kreis eine Kirchentür in Baden-Württemberg? Nein, es gibt auch andere Türen.).
• Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function gehört nicht als Teil zu Category:Church elements in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, sondern die Unterkategorie Category:Church doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis‎ gehört zu Category:Church elements in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis (Test: Ist jede Tür im Rhein-Neckar-Kreis ein Bauteil einer Kirche im Rhein-Neckar-Kreis? Nein, es gibt auch andere Türen, nicht an Kirchen.).

Richtig wäre mE Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function gehört zu Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Category:Doors in Baden-Württemberg by building function (eig. Category:Doors in Baden-Württemberg by building function by district). Sonst habe ich zu der endlosen systematischen Zersplitterung von Kategoriebäumen eine zurückhaltendere Ansicht. lg --Herzi Pinki (talk) 08:14, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

@Herzi Pinki: Ich bin auch darauf aufmerksam geworden und habe die Einsortierung bei dieser Kategorie (Category:Doors in Rhein-Neckar-Kreis by building function) sowie für ein paar andere Landkreise korrigiert. Gruß -- Triple C 85 ^{| User talk |} 12:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Alles abgeleitet vom Main-Tauber-Kreis. Die anderen Landkreise freuen sich - insbes. die Community des Zollernalbkreis'. Keine Ahnung, was daran dann falsch sein soll.--RaveDog (talk) 14:04, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Zumal es dann für Außenstehende sehr verwirrend ist, wenn jedes Landkreis seine Kategorien nach seinem eigenen Stil unterkategorisiert. RaveDog (talk) 14:07, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Vielen herzlichen Dank für deine Kategorisierungsarbeit. Eine gute Struktur hilft bei der Fülle der Bilder auch langfristig den Überblick zu behalten. -- Triple C 85 ^{| User talk |} 20:12, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

P.S. Sehr gut kategorisiert ist in Deutschland die Stadt Wuppertal. Von dort hatte ich viel abgeleitet für andere Kreise und Bundesländer. Oder je nach Thema, das fotografiert wurde, von der jeweiligen Hauptkategorie (wenn für Deutschland noch nichts vorlag). Gruß -- Triple C 85 ^{| User talk |} 20:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

OK, dann schau ich mal bei Wuppertal mal nach. Vielen Dank :-) RaveDog (talk) 20:28, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Nagold

Hallo RaveDog, du hast vor geraumer Zeit in der Category:Nagold "aufgeräumt" und dabei Bilder genauer kategorisiert, als ob sie tatsächlich zur Gemeinde Nagold gehören würden. Allerdings wurde diese Kategorie vor Jahren beim automatisierten Upload von Panoramio-Bildern vielfach falsch vergeben. Sehr oft ist nicht die Gemeinde abgebildet, sondern eine Szene am Fluss Nagold (Category:Nagold (river)), der bis hinab nach Pforzheim durch den Schwarzwald verläuft. So findet man jetzt beispielsweise in Category:Nature of Nagold viele Bilder, die dort nicht hingehören, oder es sind Bilder, die in Pforzheim aufgenommen wurden, nun irgendwo tief unter Category:Landkreis Calw zu finden. Kannst du da eventuell noch einmal drüber schauen? Diese Panoramio-Bilder haben Koordinaten, anhand derer meist die Aufnahme zu lokalisieren ist. Die Category:Panoramio photos of the Black Forest wurde übrigens als eine Art Wartungskategorie angelegt, dort findet man vor allem schlecht kategorisierte Bilder. Wenn die Kategorien ansonsten komplett und kontrolliert sind, kann diese Kategorie entfernt werden. Gruß, Sitacuisses (talk) 12:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Sitacuisses, pardon für die Fehler. Ich werde es die kommenden Tage korrigieren. Viele Grüße RaveDog (talk) 13:08, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:Bell streets

This is probably OK, but it seems a little odd to me to have a street in Seattle named after Austin A. Bell classified the same as a "Glockengasse" or "Calle Campana". Sort of as if we threw Engelsgarten in Wuppertal in with something about angels. - Jmabel ! talk 18:17, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Grenzverschiebungen in BaWü

Hallo Rave Dog, ich finde es lustig, dass du als Argument gegen Regierungsbezirks-Kategorien für Architektur Beispiele von Landkreisen anführst, die traditionell badisches und traditionell württembergisches Gebiet zusammenfassen. Tatsächlich gibt es sogar derartige Gemeinden: Möhringen hat früher zu Baden gehört und ist heute ein Stadtteil von Tuttligen, dass traditionell zu Württemberg gehört.

Um zum Verständnis der Architektur ganz Deutschlands oder ganz Europas beizutragen, muss auch die Architektur BaWüs mit seinen regional unterschiedlichen Vergangenheiten für Auswärtige verständlich dargesstellt werden. Da sind die vier Regierungsbezirke verständlicher als die 40 Kreise, und für jeden Regierungsbezirk lassen sich spezifische Vorbedingungen herausstellen.

Zudem führt eine Sortierung nach Kreisen oft zu so wenigen Objekte pro geografischer Einheit, dass die kategorisierung mehr verbirgt als sichtbar macht.

Und vor allem Triple C 85 fehlt offensichtlich das Verständnis, dass wir in Commons mehrere Zugänge zudenselben Objekten anbieten können, ohne dass diese Wege einander beeinträchtigen.

Irgendwie erinnert mich das Ausschließlichkeitsbedürfnis mancher Leute an katastrophale Vorstellungen der Vergangenheit, etwa die vom Volkskörper.--Ulamm (talk) 20:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Bridges named after royalty

Hi RaveDog,

Like many people I marvel at your productivity and it is totally understandable that minor faults may occur. In 2024 you added Category:Bridges named after royalty to Category:Koningsbrug, Harlingen and 24 other bridges. You may be advised that Prins and Koning are quite common surnames in the Netherlands so that it isn't obvious where the name comes from. In the case of the Koningsbrug the name may wel be derived from the nearby Koningsbuurt which itself is probably named after a Koning family so I removed the category.

To avoid adding untrustworthy information you may check historical sources first or refrain from adding such categories which are a bit frivolous anyway. → bertux 15:53, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

hey bertux,

thank you very much for your information and your help. I finished this project a few months ago so there won't be changes for streets and bridges by names around the world in the near future. I decided to do the major work to my home region on Commons. 😀 Kind regards. RaveDog (talk) 16:59, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

However calling changes as frivolous isn't very kind and also a little discutable. What's frivolous to one person might be helpful to another. But I don't want to discuss about that. I always created categories based on examples that were already given or I put terms together for quicker finding, as other categories had already been created in the same way. But as I said, the project is over and checked off for me. Therefore no discussion is necessary on my part. RaveDog (talk) 17:07, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

They are not frivolous in themselves and I love etymology and toponymy but many people fill such categories without thorough checks so the resulting categories are not as useful as they might be.

In my opinion Bridges named after royalty should not contain any files but only subcategories pointing to specific kings, queens etc. The first other entry I checked, Category:Koningsbrug (Brugge), doesn't refer to a king either, see here. Naming yourself or real estate Koning, Prins, Graaf and such was often a political statement or simply an early form of marketing in the Netherlands, many thousands of buildings bear such names and quite often they lend their names to nearby streets, squares and bridges without any real royalty involved. On the British islands it may be the same, considering the thousands of King's Pubs and the like.

Etymology and toponymy are deceptively easy and it's easy to jump to the wrong conclusions. Please check each item thoroughly before editing in this field of linguistics → bertux 08:26, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I will in future. :) RaveDog (talk) 12:05, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
