Category:Mountains of Dundee

I do not know how the category Category:Mountains of Dundee was created. Was it fully automatic or human-guided?

At any rate, there are no "mountains" within the city of Dundee, nor anywhere close to it. Everything within this category was mis-classified.

There are also several other bot-created categories relating to Dundee that I have emptied and nominated for speedy deletion. I appreciate that your bot may be doing some useful work, but you may wish to take a look at this issue.

My bot was used to create thousands of categories to use in categorizing 1,5 million images from Geograph. Since there was no easy way to find out which categories we needed the plan we came up with was to create all possible categories, categorize the files and then delete the categories that was still empty. But it turned out that it took much longer than originally expected so I think we just forgot all about these empty categories. Feel free to speedy tag any categories you may find. If they are still empty now we do not need them. --MGA73 (talk) 21:06, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I already speedied some such categories.

Hmm... the problem with your method is that the "Mountains of Dundee" category *wasn't* empty even though it should have been (since none of the mountains are in or near Dundee). So in that case, the problem wouldn't have been spotted by checking for empty categories.

Also, there appears to be a significant number of items classified as being in Dundee, Angus *and* Fife. Although Dundee is (traditionally) part of the geographic county of Angus, Fife is a completely different region, separated by a river. So a place in Dundee/Angus can't be part of Fife, and vice versa.

In theory, it should be possible to automatically flag images that are labelled as both "Fife" and "Dundee/Angus".

The only problem with this approach is that a *few* photographs taken from Fife also show parts of Dundee/Angus and vice versa (e.g. beside the river). But the majority of cases are simply misclassified.
