editDear Cherry, SHORT intros are allowed on WikiCommons. If you think they are too long on a certain page, you may of course shorten them, but not to delete them altoghether: this is vandalism. Furthermore, interwikiss are not only allowed but you are also encouraged to add them whenever they are absent, so that a reader can move from WikiCommons to WikiPedia with a click. So please before deleting useful information, next time ask first. Thank you. --G.dallorto 22:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please feel free to harmonise categories if you notice that they are out-of-line. My point was only that, unlike what you had written in your reason for deletion, intros and interwikies are allowed. But deleting is not a way to harmonise. This said, the usual rules apply. Categorisation in Commons must be consistent with those in Wikipedia (and categories must be in English so, yes, a latin category is weird). There must not be two separate conflicting categories on one topic, and so on. If you want to rearrange the category, to give it a better order, you have the same right to do so than anybody else of us. So please go ahead if you want to organise the matter in a better and more orderly way.
- Last but not least, it is somewhat usual that intros be taken from the corresponding article in Wikipedia. It is a fast way to have them :-) The point is, as you correctly said, that an intro must not become an article. However, the interwikis to the entry in Wikipedia you deleted have quite this purpose: they are there to say: if you want to read more, please go to the entry in Wikipedia.
- Eventually, it is not redundant to have both an article and a category. There is an ongoing debate (or feud) about which one is better, but no definitive answer to this doubt seems possible, so we are all having both of them. Categories are very useful to move from one topic to others in a fast way, but are messy. Galleries are better ordered, but longer to create and to look after, and very often they are late in catching up with new uploads. So each of us chooses case by case what s/he prefers.
- Best wishes. --G.dallorto 15:56, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not the owner of that category name, but I agree on what you did. I was only contesting plain deletion of everything, however fixing mistakes as you did now is not deletion... it is correction. As far as I am concerned, you may ask for deletion of the now empty page whenever you want. The other question you discuss about, I think it is open to debate. In these cases, "in doubt, don't". Wikipedia and Wikicommons are not marching at the same pace. There is time to fix this problem later, when they will have both categories and articles. Have a profitful work and thank you--G.dallorto 22:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC).
Categories
editPlease pay better attention to the categories you add to images. For instance Image:Amy Lee.jpg had many quite bizarre ones-- she is neither a U.S. State nor a rock, to point out two. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 17:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Didn't knew any of these. I just used Commonsense to finds the categories, blame the tool. The image camed from fr:, which has a banner under each local image proposing to upload it on Commons by nearly just a click. See that here. If the CommonHelper is quite a shit, that not my fault. Not supposed to know everything about what I upload. Sh@ry tales 18:41, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I restored it, you have to provide the source for each of these images. Thanks, Yann 19:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
