Why was I not tagged

As the individual who was responsible for categorizing the bulk of University of Connecticut athletics content and creating the bulk of the sub-category pages, I'm not sure why you didn't think to tag me in the discussion you started at Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/02/Category:University of Connecticut athletics ?

I definitely would have had two-cents to offer and disagreed with your proposal. I feel a bit annoyed you didn't give me the chance to chime-in by making me aware of your proposal that impacted many categories I had been involved in sorting. SecretName101 (talk) 01:43, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SecretName101: I'm sorry you were overlooked. However, I didn't start the discussion. I just closed it. When closing a discussion, the people who get tagged are the people who participated in the discussion, plus, sometimes, people who are mentioned in the discussion. I didn't see your name on the discussion, so I didn't tag you.

The time for notifying the creator(s) of categories being discussed is when the discussion is started. I see that notification wasn't done for all the affected categories. Even the instructions at Commons:Categories for discussion#Listing multiple categories on this "Categories for discussion" page don't say to check each category affected to be sure creators are notified. Maybe those instructions could be improved to address this. I will keep this in mind when processing future discussions of multiple categories.

In the meantime, if you think the result of the discussion was wrong, you are welcome to start a new discussion. Let me know if you'd like help with that, or if there's anything else I can help with. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:40, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly every category effected though was created by me. It's not even that I created a handful of them, the bulk of those impacted I have contributed to in file moving, file upload and category creation. I'll consider re-opening a dicussion at some point.

Category:Nursery schools in the Netherlands

I really don't mind if these are named as Category:Preschools in the Netherlands, Kindergarten or even Kleuterschool. But if there's a correctly-named cat here that has been there for years and you choose to merge it to one of the others, then it really ought to be preserved as a redirect. Otherwise we are just breaking inbound links to it, such as from Category:Nursery schools in Belgium. For that matter, why are some countries being left at Category:Nursery schools by country? It's hard to justify another of these "all international terms must be Harmonised to some wikineologism" when it's not even being done consistently.

Also, why delete the navigation bars from these categories? Andy Dingley (talk) 08:38, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Dingley: Sorry, I was processing deletion requests. I should have looked at the bigger picture.

@Adamant1: : I think some of these came from you. Was there a CFD or anything that led to the renames and redirect-deletion requests? -- Auntof6 (talk) 08:44, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Dingley: I forgot to ask: what navigation bars were deleted? If you mean ones like {{Countries of Europe}}, I could easily add them. -- Auntof6 (talk) 09:11, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the nursery schools set seemed to have them, the preschools don't. So now that's another downgrade in useful function. But hey, we've wikiforced a foreign term onto another country, so that's good. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:32, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/08/Category:Preschools. why are some countries being left No categories are "being left." It just takes time to do things sometimes and I had stuff to do IRL. why delete the navigation bars from these categories? Again, the categories are going to have navigation bars. It's still in the process. Of course either one are free to delete the rest of the categories and/or add back the navigation bars if they have to be done right now for whatever reason. Otherwise, I'm planning on doing both later today. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:48, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Thanks for the decision, but could you adapt the page to use {{Delh}} and {{Delf}}? — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 12:17, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G.: Oops!

deleted a talk page?

I was using notes here and now they gone? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category_talk:Line_art_of_Anura

I've done some odd stuff so maybe it showed up weird in a log? LMK please Jerimee (talk) 02:00, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you restore it? I don't see how to do that Jerimee (talk) 02:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jerimee: Sorry about that. It got accidentally deleted when I was deleting the category "Line art of frogs". It's restored now. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:05, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

thanks, yeah that was my fault - thanks for removing the category and for the quick fix Jerimee (talk) 02:07, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Deletion requests/uz-cyr translations of Commons:Wiki Loves Earth 2025 in Uzbekistan

Not an expert with translation pages and stuff, but you should be able to grant yourself translationadmin (per COM:TA/P) to delete the first one. Cheers, Queen of Hearts (talk) 01:27, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Queen of Hearts: Why didn't I think of that! Thanks! -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:31, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category movement

Can you please suggest what done wrong here taking in view it still unprocessed? 201.150.118.26 22:51, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you see that went wrong? All I see is that the request hasn't been moved to the user page for processing yet. It could be the reason you gave: I'm not sure pointing to COM:ADVERT explains why the category should be renamed. -- Auntof6 (talk) 02:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just wondering did I chose a right section or that doesn't matter at all? Is now description provided looks better? I see email there as violation of COM:ADVERT that does not raise the doubt of file movers while moving the files multiple times already.201.150.118.26 04:06, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that the section really matters (but I haven't been doing this very long). They still take an admin to approve/move them and they end up in the same place. I think if there's a group you make a section for, it just makes it quicker for the admin to evaluate them.

As for the description, I still don't see where it's advertising. The email you mention: is it the one in the individual files? How is it advertising? -- Auntof6 (talk) 04:50, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't understand your question, in particular, what difference does it make in the current situation whether the email is inside (on the image) or not, and in individual files or not, since both of these categories are subject to quick deletion (G10, F10), apparently, if this situation cannot be corrected by renaming. Criterion 5 of renaming clearly states that "if it appeared elsewhere on the project as text". COM:ADVERT says the following: "content which constitutes advertising or self-promotion" (I hope you have no doubts that the presence of the photos' author's email in the category name is his self-promotion?), and there is no distinction here between the presence of the email in the image or outside of? it, but criterion 5 of quick renaming "comes to the rescue" here, where it clearly states "a violation somewhere in the project, specifically in the text form". I'm really surprised that the violation of COM:ADVERT in the category name is still not obvious to you. Still? I mean - if I'm wrong somewhere, in your opinion, explain where exactly. 201.150.118.26 09:21, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Oil_paintings_by_decade

Oil paintings by decade has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.

In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Category redirects

Hello, Auntof6. I invite you to peruse User:RussBot/category redirect log, in particular the (long) list of items near the top of the list beginning with "Redirect loop from". These are all categories that you requested be moved by a bot. The problem is that the titles that the categories were moved to already existed as redirects back to the old title. The category moving bot does not check for this issue before it moves pages; I've already pointed this out to the bot operator, but they declined to make any changes. Therefore, the only solution I can see is for you (or any other user) to request deletion of the redirect on the target page before asking the bot to move pages to the new title. Either that, or manually copy the contents of the category description page to the new title. I appreciate your consideration of this problem. --R'n'B (talk) 14:18, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@R'n'B: Thank you very much for pointing this out. I thought I'd seen that these were being handled correctly (that is, by completely replacing the target of the rename if it already existed). I will take care of these a little later when I'm not on a mobile device, and I will watch for this situation in the future. Thanks again. -- Auntof6 (talk) 17:17, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@R'n'B: These should all be fixed now. I'll check when the list is updated to see if any remain. Thanks again. -- Auntof6 (talk) 19:03, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A category redirect question

Hello again. My question relates to this edit. I'm puzzled. Category:Maps of countries visited by Belgian politicians was speedy deleted in 2024, apparently because it was not considered useful to keep as a redirect. So why is the misspelled Category:Maps of countries visited by Belgian politicans necessary to keep? --R'n'B (talk) 14:23, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@R'n'B: I was probably strictly applying the definition of the speedy deletion option G2. That option specifies two things, and the page needs to meet only one of them. The first is "unused and implausible". I don't think it's implausible, because people may very well misspell things. The second option is that the redirect is broken. It was broken, true, but I try to fix broken redirects when possible.

That being said, if you really think it's not worth keeping, I'll delete it anyway. -- Auntof6 (talk) 17:32, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I really was just asking. I edit mostly on enwiki, not here, so I don't want to run afoul of Commons consensus inadvertently. On enwiki, when a category is moved, it is common to leave the old title as a redirect to the new one, but that doesn't seem to be a consistent practice here. Many times a category is moved without leaving a redirect, or the redirect is deleted after the move. So I was trying to understand why some redirects are kept and others are not. --R'n'B (talk) 16:18, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming

THank you for your help i.e. here! Don't you know (can you suggest) what template should i use to request an i.e. that revision's comment deletion or revision deletion at all with reason of not listed here (i.e. containing COM:ADVERT that was later blurred that i.e. was suggested as deletion alternative [but still never done, however who knows the future when such revdel will still be needed instead of opening the new deletion nomination])? 201.150.118.26 05:57, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let me make sure I understand what you're asking. Are you asking how to remove the contact information from that file's description, and revdel it? If that's what you're asking, that might be handled by oversight. There's no template for that, you would send email to the email address on the page I just linked.

If that's not what you were asking, please explain further. -- Auntof6 (talk) 07:22, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the confusion - I wanted to make the sentence sound both brief and complete. No, no, it's not that bad - there's no personal information of mine there. I'm just advocating for the COM:ADVERT requirements to be followed everywhere, including comments (especially those tied to image changes that show up in the file history section) and the images themselves (with those in the history that violate the aforementioned rule and are still present in the file history section even when such violation meant to be removed at further file versions [i.e. by advertisement being later blurred]), and am looking for a way to achieve this without being an editor with additional privileges.201.150.118.26 07:39, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So can you suggest something about how can I request:

revision comment deletion/hide
revision itself (including ones when some image version was uploaded) deletion/hide

? 201.150.118.26 20:37, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
