September 2019: it's Wiki Loves Monuments time again!

Hi

You're receiving this message because you've previously contributed to the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest in the UK. We'd be delighted if you would do so again this year and help record our local built environment for future generations.

You can find more details at the Wiki Loves Monuments UK website. Or, if you have images taken in other countries, you can check the international options. This year's contest runs until 30 September 2019.

Many thanks for your help once more! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:35, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2019!

Hi

Thank you so much for contributing to the UK section of this year's Wiki Loves Monuments contest, which finished yesterday. We really do appreciate the time and effort you've put in to record the UK's built cultural heritage for future generations.

Your contribution has been been added to our collections here on Wikimedia Commons, and is already available for editors to make use of on Wikipedia and elsewhere. It has also been entered into this year's contest. If you'd like to see your own images, just click on the uploads link at the top right of this page (if you don't see it, click on the Log in option first).

We've received over 10,000 UK entries this year, and it will take a few weeks for our volunteers and professional judges to decide on the final top 10. The winners will be announced by the end of this month, both here on Wikimedia Commons and also on the competition website.

The top 10 UK images will go forward to the international section where they will compete against winners from some 50 other countries. The international winners should be announced here in December.

Don't forget, by the way, that if you're hoping to win a prize in the contest it's essential that you have enabled email in your Wikimedia preferences. If you haven't, you're not eligible to win. If you're unsure, please check here.

Once again, many thanks for your help! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:War memorial (Barbers Bridge, Rudford and Highleadon )

The category has space before ). Please remove it. Taivo (talk) 17:11, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Trowbridge War Memorial

That's its name, whatever Historic England say. Please change back to the correct name, per the convention that ALL war memorials should be listed as "X war memorial". And in category names brackets mean "is a", so your name makes no sense. Thanks. Rodhullandemu (talk) 16:53, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Looking at what you've done, the amount of damage to Commons in Wiltshire alone seems substantial and destructive to our carefully designed category structures. Please correct ALL of them. I have other work to be doing. Rodhullandemu (talk) 17:06, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

New template for war memorials

{{IWM|id=<number>}}. Should be the first item on a category or immediately under the summary box. Rodhullandemu (talk) 08:35, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Autopatrolled rights given

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. - FitIndia ^{Talk Mail} 05:20, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

IWM template

Hi,

{{IWM}} is being deleted, as {{Wikidata Infobox}} performs the same function, provided the category is linked to a Wikidata item. Just add {{Wikidata Infobox}} to the category, with no parameters. Shout if that's not clear, or you need help. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:25, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Category:Hoylake WWI Memorial Cross

Thanks for sorting these out. However, the problem with creating a new category as opposed to moving the old one is (a) it leaves the old category with its categories, locations, etc. and (b) it hides the history, which is required for attribution purposes. Hi, Thanks @Rodhullandemu

File source is not properly indicated: File:Charles Holloway James.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Charles Holloway James.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Charles Holloway James.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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!

Date categories

Hi there! Just a quick note to remind you that it's really useful to put date categories (Category:May 2021 in Cornwall) on your images when you upload them - it makes it much easier for other users to find your photos. Thanks, Gazamp (talk) 21:08, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

War memorials around Bexhill

Nice work on the Wikidata and categorisation. There's a indoor war memorial at St. Barnabas' Church here too, I'll take a photo when I'm there during the week. Dr-Mx (talk) 18:13, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Dr-Mx, would you be able to grab a couple of shots of the font as well? Hanton01 (talk) 07:19, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I've uploaded the photos here, feel free to categorise as you so wish: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:St_Barnabas%27_Church,_Bexhill_(interior) Dr-Mx (talk) 16:01, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Robert Beall (sculptor)

The company, Robert Beall of Newcastle, continued until at least the 1930s, although Robert Beall and his son Robert Eusebius Beall both died by 1909. You are right to keep all the Robert Beall stuff under the category of Robert Beall (sculptor) to keep all the stuff together, but in the category explanations, we do need to make clear which items were made by the actual sculptors, and which items were made by the later inheritors of the company called Robert Beall. The World War I and II memorials appear to have been constructed by masons of the Robert Beall company who brought in outside sculptors. It does not help that many recently-written sources (who probably copied each other) have conflated both Bealls and the company into one, as if there were one Robert Beall who was sculpting things from 1861 to the 1930s, which did not happen. I hope to complete and publish the article soon, but there is more to research and find out, first. Who knows, maybe the company was run between 1909 and the 1930s by a third Robert Beall, but we don't know that, yet. All we know at the moment that it was the same company, working from the same yard. Storye book (talk) 16:12, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

definitely, thank you Hanton01 (talk) 16:31, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Is there a wikipedia page for either or both Robert Beall (sculptor) and the company he founded? A link in relevant commons categories to this would help to clarify the distinction between the two. Hanton01 (talk) 16:39, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Category sorting of Cheshire war memorials

I strongly question your revert of my category-sorting edits for subcategories of Category:War memorials in Cheshire. The way you have it, Category:Grade II* listed war memorials in Cheshire‎ and Category:Grade II listed war memorials in Cheshire‎ are listed alongside Category:War memorials in Chester‎ and other geographical categories – and, what's more, should anybody create Category:War memorials in Alsager or whatever, they will be sitting awkwardly in the middle of this alphabetical list of "War memorials in place X" under B/C. These two non-geographical war memorial categories make much more sense alongside the other existant non-geographical categories of war memorial (i.e. ‎Category:Boer War memorials in Cheshire, ‎Category:World War I memorials in Cheshire, Category:World War II memorials in Cheshire) which is why I moved them there with the asterisk. There's no logic in having these two categories intermingled with geographical categories. Have a look at Category:War memorials in Cheshire to see what I mean. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:13, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Dave, please check Category:Grade II* listed war memorials‎, all the subcategories sit in a very logical manner.

If you view any of the other Category:War memorials in England subcategories you will find their Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II always sit above the locational war memorial categories, for example Category:War memorials in Worcestershire, and not sitting randomly with that county's war memorials by conflict Hanton01 (talk) 08:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

No problem with Category:Grade II* listed war memorials‎. But I still maintain that the ordering of Category:War memorials in Worcestershire, like that at Cheshire, makes no sense. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

You object to these categories appearing "randomly with that county's war memorials by conflict" but your preference simply puts them randomly with that county's war memorials by location. Dave.Dunford (talk) 08:58, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Dave, These categories currently do not sit randomly, Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II ALWAYS sit above the locational war memorial categories, as is the case in Category:War memorials in Worcestershire and all the other county of England categories. Just as they sit above Category:War memorials in Alsager on Category:War memorials in Cheshire. Hanton01 (talk) 09:21, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

In which case they could sit above ‎Category:Boer War memorials in Cheshire, ‎Category:World War I memorials in Cheshire and Category:World War II memorials in Cheshire. The word "randomly" was yours, not mine. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:28, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

On reflection, I think if you have a system, I won't mess with it. The logic doesn't convince me, but consistency is more important. As you were. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:29, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the "heads up" Dave, county war memorials by conflict are a relatively new addition in the county categories, as the listed war memorial categories have been there a longer time. Your logic may be better but its gonna take a lot of time to reorder them all, you're more than welcome to give it a shot Hanton01 (talk) 09:47, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
