Deletion requests
[edit]Hello. Please have a look at: User:Krdbot/lost deletion requests --Krd 13:07, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Krd: Thanks for flagging these problem DR's. I have deleted the ones where I was the closing admin. --P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:25, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
Drainage basin maps
[edit]Hallo, in principle i agree with your revert because of an "overabundant" categorization. Please note though that i am still trying to reorganize all the material about drainage basins and i have to review north american basins and african basins, i would ask you to wait a little longer before maling other reverts. But i surely like to find with you a better way to classify all the items. Thanks. Ciaurlec (talk) 23:54, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Ciaurlec: what categorization scheme are you trying to implement? What was wrong the way it was? Note that unlike Wikipedia, Commons does NOT use Non-diffusing subcategories. Unless you are implementing a completely different category tree (which you should first discuss actually), please revert all these double-level categories. Thanks. --P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:58, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi @Ciaurlec: I still see that all files are lumped together in the subcats of Category:Drainage basin maps. Again, Commons does NOT use Non-diffusing subcategories. What is your plan for diffusing these? Thanks. --P 1 9 9 ✉ 19:13, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
Owen Sound
[edit]I was curious, where (which road or nearest intersection) was this taken and in which direction are we looking?
The description on the page for Grey County doesn't make much sense. Criticalthinker (talk) 01:00, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, nevermind. I see I was misunderstanding "Meaford" here to mean the expansive municipality, and not the actual town, which is on the whole other side (out of view) of the peninsula. This looks to be taken from Grey Road were it intersects with Kemble Rock Road, and we're looking directly east from the hill. Criticalthinker (talk) 01:19, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Criticalthinker: You are correct. Meaford in the description means the municipality, not the population centre. I have added the coordinates to the file description. Regards, --P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:08, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:Islands in the Saint Lawrence River
[edit]Trying to understand why you are removing this category and I believe it's because those islands are grouped in Category: Hochelaga Archipelago? If so, please note that the fr:Archipel d'Hochelaga groups islands in four rivers, including the St. Lawrence. Shawn à Montréal (talk) 17:00, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Shawn à Montréal: The entire Category:Hochelaga Archipelago is in Category:Islands in the Saint Lawrence River, therefore all subcategories were double-level categories. If the Hochelaga Archipelago is not just in the St. Lawrence, then it should be removed from that category. Regards, --P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:17, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. Yes, you're quite right. I have removed that as a master category. I'm going to see if we have a category template here at the Commons for connected categories? But we have articles on far too many islands in the archipelago that aren't in the St. Lawrence to leave that as a sub-category. thanks, Shawn à Montréal (talk) 17:27, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Here's what I have added. Please let me know if that doesn't make sense to you. Shawn à Montréal (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
