Calshot Castle

No. Apart from anything else I prefer the pic that currently leads the en:Calshot Castle article.Geni (talk) 07:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Pendennis Castle

The train was named after the castle, so I fail to see how it is not relevant. -mattbuck (Talk) 16:56, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Would it be worth creating a separate category for the train? Nev1 (talk) 17:17, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Certain trains are worth creating their own category for, heritage ones mainly. There are currently 11 photos of this train on Commons, or at least 11 which include "57604" in the page. I'm not sure I know of any non-heritage trains with their own category. I suppose it could be done though. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:25, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

If there are enough photos to make a category worthwhile, I don't see why not. 11 seems like a good number. Then it would be useful to have that as a subcategory of Pendennis Castle. At the moment, the way I look at it, it's a bit surprising to see pictures of trains in a category about a castle as the file names don't give an indication why. A subcategory would make the link clearer. Nev1 (talk) 17:28, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

OK, I'll get on that. -mattbuck (Talk) 17:47, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

review

 Comment The image is too small. It seems to me better : file:CIS Tower foreground.jpg --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:32, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

• My reason for picking this photo was that it shows the full height of the tower, and the tower itself takes up most of the view. While I think the suggested alternative is a good image in its own right a building in front means you can't the base of the tower so you don't get it's full height. Also at the moment (though it could be cropped) in the alternative image the building takes up a smaller proportion of the overall picture. The image is probably smaller than I'd like, but I thought was big enough (the example given in the VI criteria ia 480x360px while this is 320x640). But if people consider that's the better image I would be happy to swap. Nev1 (talk) 17:44, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Best in scope for "north-west view". The one mentioned by Archaeodontosaurus is another side of the tower. Yann (talk) 04:14, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

{{Listed building Scotland}}

Can't really see the point of tagging each image in a category with this when the category is already tagged; is there one? Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

By and large it's probably not worth it, but I've just installed a script which uses the template to populate lists on Wikipedia. It's not essential, just speeds things up in this case. That's why I've been tagging one photo in a category rather than lots – tagging them all probably isn't worth the effort. Nev1 (talk) 19:21, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Ah, OK, it makes sense in that context. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 19:27, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Category:Roslin Castle vs Category:Rosslyn Castle

Hi, I found we had been maintaining two separate categories for this castle. The category that matched the en:WP article name hadn't been placed in Category:Roslin, Midlothian, so there was no warning to anyone. Since it appears that locally, as described here the name is Rosslyn rather than Roslin, I've moved everything into Category:Rosslyn Castle for now. Let me know if there is any compelling reason to have the other name and I'll fix it back. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 22:08, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Going with 'Rosslyn' strikes me as the right thing to do. Thanks for spotting that, I'd completely missed it. Nev1 (talk) 11:51, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:New_Square,_Lincoln's_Inn

Hi there! I moved your '12 and 13 New Square' category. It contained an assortment of buildings that did not match the category name. The same was true for some of the file descriptions. I tried to mend that as much as possible, but maybe I still missed some. The buildings in the square are all listed either I, II or II*. Are they all 16th century, do you know? Because one of your categories was '16th-century architecture in London'. --Judithcomm (talk) 18:27, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Judithcomm, thank you for taking care of that! The category was based on the information for numbers 12 and 13, so I'm not sure about the dates for the other buildings in the square. But from a search of the English Heritage website it looks like 1–11 were built in 1690–97, and 14 & 15 were built in 1928. There are other listed buildings, but as far as I can see that covers the houses so I'd be tempted to add categories for 16th-, 17th-, and 20th-century architecture in London. Nev1 (talk) 10:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok to add those categories as far as I'm concerned. Only there are 'purists' who would disagree. They say a category should apply to all media in the group or the category should be split up. --Judithcomm (talk) 10:46, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
