Hello, CaribDigita!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

If I remember correctly, I believe I unlinked these so as to speed up their deletion (as duplicates?) and- to decrease their chance of being added to articles and possibly being thought as needing to be retained. CaribDigita (talk) 14:42, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrol given[edit]

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. ZooFari 23:02, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Zoofari. Much appreciated in you bestowing me with new status. CaribDigita (talk) 14:38, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Careful with HotCat![edit]

Hey, just wanted to let you know - you might want to be a tad more careful with HotCat. I've had to undo three edits you made today - File:Commuter train at Porter 2.JPG and File:Wellington MBTA aerial view.JPG were already in subcategories of the category you added, while you added File:Fitchburg Line train in Cambridge.JPG to Category:Inner Belt which wasn't quite what you thought it was.

Strange category changes[edit]

Can you explain what you were trying to do with this edit? You removed one good category (Category:MBTA in 2012), added one category that the image was already in a subcategory of (Category:Southwest Corridor), and changed one category to its older, incorrect name (Category:Ruggles (MBTA station) to Category:Ruggles Station (MBTA)). None of those were necessary, and your edit summary doesn't reflect the change you actually made. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 14:50, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I meant to just look at what I had done wrong initially, It looks like I filled it under "Cat:Iron Maiden" alone's Category (which is the torture device). And I meant to put it under "Cat:Iron Maiden turnstiles" instead. I forgot to click forward again. CaribDigita (talk) 15:58, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Important message for file movers[edit]

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

  • To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
  • To perform file name swaps.
  • When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Domains and websites[edit]

Hi there. Please note that a domain (or, in the case of this discussion, a subdomain) is distinct from a website. In particular, a website is a document or set of documents that can be rendered by a web browser. Everything you've placed in Category:Websites in .ca domain belongs in Category:.ca subdomains. Moreover, the file File:Farm-Fresh flag canada.png isn't depicting a .ca subdomain, it is showing a two-letter code for Canada; see, for example, en:List of ISO 3166 country codes. Mindmatrix 00:11, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there again! Thanks for reaching out. I thought this meant "subdomain" as in the context of (for example) in "store.example.com" "Store" would be a subdomain of Example.com ? Or a more contextual accurate example "opm.gc.ca" (the OPM) would be a "subdomain" of gc.ca which is under the .ca w:CcTLD?
"opm.gc.ca" for example is known as a Country code third-level domain a/k/a "subdomain".
"gc.ca" for example is known as a country code third-level domain.
"ca." for example is known as a Country code top level domain (CcTLD).
In what context did you mean ':Category:.ca subdomains'? I genuinely want to understand your viewpoint. To your point about the Farm Fresh when I had placed that I honestly thought it was a Wikipedia made icon. I believe I was using Cat's-A-Lot at the time. (An example of the 'icons' I've seen- one or two can be viewed inside the 'Cat:Category:Television of Canada' namespace) CaribDigita (talk) 02:59, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In this context, .ca is a top-level domain and example.ca is a subdomain of .ca. (Note that example.ca is also a domain name within the .ca ccTLD, and .ca is a subdomain of the root domain.) You're correct that sub.example.ca is a subdomain of example.ca. See the last paragraph of section 3.1 in RFC 1034, and also section 3.4 and the definitions in section 3.5. To clarify:
  • .ca is a subdomain of root and a country code top-level domain (ccTLD)
  • gc.ca is a domain name within .ca, and a subdomain of .ca
  • opm.gc.ca is a subdomain of gc.ca (and possibly its own domain)
Moreover, I just discovered a few categories (perhaps you modelled Category:Websites in .ca domain on them) that should probably be discussed, as they all have the same issue I mentioned above. (Specifically, Category:Websites in .de domain, Category:Websites in .ru domain, and Category:Websites in .ua domain.) Perhaps I'm being overly-pedantic. Mindmatrix 13:33, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your context is a common misconception. That's not actually a "subdomain". A true subdomain is in the third-level or beyond. For example: "Mail.yahoo.com" (mail) is a subdomain in the true terminology of the internet.
Another example "ca.ebay.com" (the "ca") is a subdomain of Ebay. A subdomain is a server that points to an actual subscriber's domain name.
No actual private citizens owns the Cctld ".ca" itself to make for example "canada.ca" itself be a subdomain. But let's say there's "mail.canada.ca" (the "mail") would be the subdomain because the owner's of "canada.ca" has to add "mail." to their server's w:MX Record for email or DNS record to make it a live page.
But remember it can extend beyond that third level as I mentioned. So exampled all the provinces of Canada had abbreviations that I believe are grandfathered now??? So like 'toronto.on.ca' is just a domain but mail.toronto.on.ca" would be a true subdomain.
To your other point, the ".de" of the similar categories was what I was indeed modelling off of. Germany's and France's wikipedia categories I typically model off of because they have a lot of regular meetups and they've discussed category names and subcats of that extensively to where it they usually take it to where is usually a good compromised point for all concerned. And since Quebec is heavily French culture I find France's category model hopefully should acquiesce for Quebec's space as well. If I use UK it might offend right? So it's like why reinvent the wheel. :-) lol. CaribDigita (talk) 13:54, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please read section 3.4 of RFC 1034 again. It is one of the defining documents (albeit now deprecated) of DNS and its operation, not a "common misconception" that I hold. (See also the end of the 'Domains' section on page 16 of DNS and Bind, 3rd edition by Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu.) If you have an issue with the definitions from IETF RFCs about DNS, take it up with the people who created and extended DNS or wrote those documents.
The Namecheap document you link is simplifying things for a less technical audience. I do note, however, that the modern usage of 'subdomain' seems to be shifting to omit part of the original definition. Perhaps the naming of Category:.ca subdomains can be improved, but as currently used in its original sense, it is not wrong. Mindmatrix 15:58, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oh you are a techie too. Oh wow 1987, Interesting indeed. What a blast from the past.
I remember those days and yet it still feels like yesterday.
I never heard subdomain used in that context. But I do see what you mean. It's right there. I had learned off the old O'Reilly DNS/BIND series books. I have them packed away and cannot get access to it right now. I don't recall it ever calling the cCTLD as "subdomain" but there it is. I've seen the foo.bar.com (foo) level referred to more recently as "microsites" but it's not really a common term from my observation. CaribDigita (talk) 17:09, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I actually was not intending to revert you. lol I actually seriously thought I filed it wrong when I looked in my contributions somehow. I am using the tool "hotcat".
That's fine, I wasn't seeking to revert you. I've just been on a run trying to file "architecture element" photos to portray the vast architectural variety across Canada. CaribDigita (talk) 04:50, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
HotCat usually has the difficulty that the important description to the image is not visible and is judged rather superficially. With a welcome sign for Alberta, which is in front (!) of the border, this is certainly inviting. You are not the first to make this change. --XRay 💬 05:01, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Please be more careful when adding categories. You frequently add overly broad categories to files/categories that are already in more specific categories. For example, File:Ventilation tower in Parcel 7 building, December 2023.jpg is already in Category:Boston Public Market, which is in Category:MassDOT ventilation structures, which is in Category:Ventilation towers in the United States. There was no reason to add Category:Ventilation shafts. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:52, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I now get you. I diffuse photos down to their parts. But you prefer to up-merge to a single catch-all category. I personally wouldn't have put that whole entire building as a "vent shaft" because when you click you're going to see: fruits, vegetable, flowers for-sale, people hawking goods, etc. etc. That was the Mass Turnpike's building which is multipurpose as market, parking garage, and vent shaft.
I would have put the part of the building that showed the vent shaft thereunder- (and as that photo is actually titled) it's the "vent shaft" just attached to the entire market which has some vent shafts. CaribDigita (talk) 19:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point about the building versus the market; I may separate the market into a subcategory. I will note that the building has 3 different shafts which occupy a substantial portion of its footprint - it's not just that single shaft.
The bigger issue is that this is a recurring problem where you add broad categories where specific categories are available, or add outright incorrect categories. When you added Category:Ventilation shafts, you should have seen that Category:Ventilation towers was a subcategory. That in turn should have led you to Category:Ventilation towers in the United States. Other examples that I found in a 2-minute search of times I've reverted your edits:
  • Okay. For one to explain. I added this to "Cat:History of Boston" because this is overall in relation to the history of how the City of Boston grew as a city by acquiring cities and towns as 'municipal annexation' which is more than just a map date. You had a problem with that in your opinion. Boston used to stop as Mass. Ave. After that was another municipality. And eventually over time they were just considered neighbourhoods. Mission Hill etc. was all part of separate municipality of Roxbury before the City of Boston took over Roxy etc. CaribDigita (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The entrance to the Hynes Convention Station Center is LITERALLY at that very corner (Newbury Street & Mass Ave) where that street light is. That's where the old Tower Records and later T.J. Maxx is. The same shot shows where the new CAR GURUS building is built on the opposite side of the street. Sir, the bus stop pictured across the street **literally** used to say "HYNES" above it. (HERE'S IT ON A ARCHIVE'D COPY OF GOOGLE STREET VIEW) To say it had nothing to do with that area is interesting. If you walked upstairs from Hynes and walked outside you literally would have seen that same cityscape with the Hynes sign across the road from you. But again difference of opinion. I left it alone. CaribDigita (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ummm. that's not a building. That train is the Lexington Branch of the Central Mass. rail line. that once crossed Mass Ave. in North Cambridge. By Cedar Street. Here & here The Red Line now uses this same path (underground) since 1985 but before the Red Line was extended from Harvard the Lexington Brannch was that same path. It went behind the pond at Rindge Ave. and curved underneath Route 2 and crossed Mass. Ave again in Arlington Center. I used to ride this trail on my bike when the tracks were still there as a kid. I know this for a fact. A spur also continued onward to the Fitchburg Path past the northern wall of the current Alewife Station where the buses now leave Alewife and enter Route 2. Again you didn't like that so I left it alone. CaribDigita (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Part II-- IT says it's an annual report and talks about the fore-runner of the MBTA. And contains info about the rails on pages 6-7 to start off. The MBTA didn't exist back then, but many of the streetcar tracks MBTA took over are from a foregone era and mentioned in that annual report. I didn't create new categories for MBTA fore-running agencies. But for example Mass Ave's street Car Cambridge became eventually MBTA Red Line. I left it alone after you reverted. CaribDigita (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's very clear that you just looked at the (incorrect) mention of the MBTA in the title and didn't actually look at the file. The Massachusetts Highway Commission is not a fore-runner of the MBTA. Less than a page of discussion on street railways in Massachusetts, the vast majority of which have no relation to the MBTA whatsoever, does not justify adding this category. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I remember that day. I got off the number 39 bus. Given the MBTA never works properly I had a long wait. I was taking a little walk and I admired the architecture of the large large boulders/rocks on the side of that bridge. The bridge is a big arch carrying Jamaica Way above MA-Route 9 and it has large stones on the side. Not many bridges in Massachusetts are like that. I added it to "Cat:stone arch bridges". You said you disagree that it's only stones on the face of it. So I yielded. I didn't watch the bridge get poured but to me- looks like a arch bridge, with stones on it. You claim the stones are only on the face so it's "not a stone arch bridge." *shrug* CaribDigita (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • What you're talking about is my adding the GPS Coords to find the entrance to station correct? I added that based on live experience again. Because you cannot easily find it from the stadium. It's not for example well marked like when one is at North Station. There's no ample signage for it. Plus you have to go through the tunnel to get to it. It is all the way across the parking lot in a corner and if you don't go through the tunnel you have to cut back and go through the tunnel (further away). What's misspelled? The Town's Name you mean? Actually it's not. See for yourself- from the Town's own Website. The MBTA/Stadium spells it one-way. The Town spells it another way to be fully accurate. But I guess you have an difference of opinion on that too. What *I* posted was actually station/stadium name in Town-name as the actual short description. What's misspelled about that?
  • The spelling issue wasn't with "borough" or lack thereof. The issue was Foxbooro. (Capitalizing "Station" was also incorrect, given that Commons and enwiki both use "station.") Your edit claimed the station was (special events) only, which is incorrect because regular daily service was operating to the station at that time. There was no reason to add a second set of coordinates, different from the ones on Wikidata and enwiki, without any indication what those coordinates are for. Commons is an image repository, not a travel guide; if you want to add travel information, then edit Wikivoyage. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'removing an accurate'? To borrow a phrase you used. This building doesn't even exist anymore. So you say it's more accurate to place this floor plans in 'trains stations of the United States' which is showing floor plans of a train station that has long ago been reduced to trees and bushes? It should at least be floor plans of defunct or demolished train stations in the United States because the station is gone. Fall River Station looks like a little steel shed now when I went through it- not at all like these plain plans so it is just junking up train stations in the United States which should be stations that actually exist now else it is just former. But difference of opinion again I guess. CaribDigita (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, not a difference of opinion. You removed an image from an accurate and useful category because you didn't like it. If there was some compelling reason to separate current and former stations in this category (and there isn't), then you should have created a subcategory, not removed the file altogether.

  • Oh, yes. I *was* going to go on the hunt to piece this together. I have a few of these signs near me. Belmont / Arlington / Watertown all have signs like this. I was going to snap them given Mass. has over 300+ communities they must have a lot of these novelty signs around. The Saturday following was really yucky and cloudy. The Sunday was cloudy. You then reverted, I gave up and went no further to answer you. CaribDigita (talk) 01:34, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a perfect encapsulation of these issues. You do something halfway, don't think it through, and leave it for others to clean up your mess. For every one of these examples - and there are many more I could find - it is clear that you didn't actually think through what you were doing. None of these were "differences of opinion" as you claim; every one of them was you adding something factually incorrect and/or counter to Commons policy. I am very unhappy with you because you have been making these errors en masse for a long time and have not improved your behavior. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Uh. Wikipedia isn't built in a single-day. Many folks work on things in bits and pieces. As far as your allegation. I clean up my own "mess". I connect cats to things within the scope of what they're about. As I've been doing under "Cat:Annual reports of Massachusetts" for example. If there's enough multiples then I create a Subcat for them all. But I guess you desire wanting things stuck rigid in the past as they are forever more. Wikipedia says Wikipedia:Be_bold. If nobody expands things, nothing gets done. You can be unhappy that is your prerogative. And your opinion still. Which is fine. It is what it is. People can view by your edits as well, anything *you* don't like personally you revert.

Not just mine but that is just how you show up as in the world. Not everybody has to agree. It is what it is. Do I try to sort things every now and again. Yes. There's a regional collective by the Commonwealth which places a large number of digitized books daily on Wikipedia. Do I go-on and try to sub-categorize these because nobody else is? You bet. I don't make them wrong for doing what they do. But I play my part to try to make it a little more complete each time. If that offends you, again that's your prerogative, and your opinion. Nothing I can do about that. CaribDigita (talk) 05:40, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All I am asking you to do is to follow COM:OVERCAT (which is policy that all users are expected to follow) and to stop adding incorrect information. Neither of those should be remotely controversial. If you want to start a discussion about something, use a talk page or the Village Pump. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:59, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
