Too many subcategories with single subcategory only, and poor english titles

Hi Rjdeadly. Thanks for your suggestions. My poor English forces me to make extensive use of Google Translate and even in this way I make mistakes. About the presence of many categories that contain only one sub-category: you are right about this. Unfortunately the Vatican Museums are a special case. They are a collection of over thirty museums. This forces the creation of categories for each individual museum, categories that must then be linked, as they are, to the collections of the "Vatican Museums". Creating categories for each individual museum and then linking them to categories of the same nature for the "Vatican Museums" is complicated. (Renovating categories and subcategories of the Vatican Museums, which were in horrible condition, has cost me a year of work so far). But there are no simple solutions to complicated problems. Because the exhibits on display in the Vatican Museums are tens of thousands and it is necessary to divide them among the individual museums, and this sometimes creates boring depths of sub-categories. For example, as you noticed, when the finds from a certain location are exhibited all in one of the museums that make up the Vatican Museums. This problem exists above all in the search criterion "by place of discovery" but, to a lesser extent, also in other search criteria, such as "... by material" and "by production area". As soon as I can do that, I will replace all "findings..." categories with "finds ..." (If you would like to help me do so I would be very grateful.) And I will continue to look for a solution to reduce the depth of sub categories in cases where it is convenient to do so. Thanks for your attention.

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

English · español · français

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:Carsium fortress in Hârșova. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Map of Vaison.jpg

This file may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Map of Vaison.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
