Interwiki

Please only add interwikis to similar pages. Means Categorys to categorys, gallerys to articles, etc. Regards, abf /talk to me/ 18:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Happy to do so, except that most French communes that I am working on have an article and no category in Wikipedia, and a category but no gallery in Commons. So it seems reasonable to me to connect Wikipedia French commune articles to Commons French commune categories if it is the only existing combination. Millevache (talk) 18:47, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I may have overlooked a few cases where there was actually a gallery in Commons. I will make the combination Gallery-article whenever possible. Millevache (talk) 18:49, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

There is very often a "level difference" between articles on wikipedia's and categorys on commons; at the wikpipedia articles one puts normally "Commonscat|...", so the same level difference is acknowledged there; we can do (I do) the reverse at commons. NB. Millevache, thanks for improving my cat's. Havang(nl) (talk) 19:14, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

You're very welcome (although I am not sure which cat's that was). Millevache (talk) 19:17, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Gargilesse, Chârost, Fraisse, among them. Havang(nl) (talk) 19:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

A red link...

Hi,

Is is possible to put an end to this red link..., quite unpleasent in a watch list ;)

By the way, do-you know Hot Cat (Special:Preferences > Gadgets > Hot Cat) ? It's a fantastic tool for users who works on categorisation ;)

Cheers.--Bapti ✉ 16:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip.... and I removed the red link. Cheers. Millevache (talk) 16:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hotcat

You are going fast and good in categorising. Do you know the gadget Hotcat? Go to your Userpage, open preferences and than gadgets. Go down to Tools for categories (read the exemple on the second line Hotcat and) mark that line. Read what is asked about bypassing the browser, save the changes and bypass your browser. Good luck. Havang(nl) (talk) 13:18, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the nice words and for the tip. I cannot manage using Hot Cats. I have selected the Gadget in my preferences (I am using Firefox). When I click on (+) to add a category, several ones may be suggested. If I choose one and click "OK", nothing happens. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks. Millevache (talk) 13:34, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it is the browser. The server has problems, nowadays. Try to bypass your browser once you are on the page and than do the categorising. Or try it after the server is OKE again. Havang(nl) (talk) 17:03, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Category:Statue of Jeanne d'Arc in Paris, Rue de Rivoli

Hi,

You create this category. But I think the good name would be Category:Statue of Jeanne d'Arc in Paris, Place des Pyramides. You can look this fr:Place des Pyramides in french. If you agree, can you do something? Thank's. CaptainHaddock (talk) 06:55, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

It's not a big deal, I think. The Place des Pyramides is basically part of the Rue de Rivoli, so I believe that both names for the category are fine. If you prefer the one that you have suggested, feel free to go ahead and make a change. Cheers. Millevache (talk) 02:49, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Renaming of category "Buddhism of Thailand"

I see that you had the category "Buddhism of Thailand" renamed to Category:Buddhism in Thailand. The newly named category was a "lost category" as you hadn't moved the categories in which "Category:Buddhism of Thailand" had been placed in before it was deleted to the new "Buddhism in Thailand". You also did not remove the redirect that was placed on that page. I have restored these items in the meantime. Please take more care next time you have a category renamed. - Takeaway (talk) 18:44, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

My apologies, I now see that it wasn't you but User:Wknight94 who had moved everything to "Buddhism in Thailand" without taking care of also moving the appropriate categories. His name only showed up after searching the logs of the category that got deleted but your name showed up as the creator of the "Buddhism in Thailand" category so I mistakenly assumed you were the one who changed it all. Sorry again. - Takeaway (talk) 20:23, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I am a HK Wikipedian and I am now going to tell you a bad news: your photo about Hong Kong is plagiarize by the Hong Kong Book publisher. See the link on the title to see the news. We are discussion now in Chinese Wikipedia, fell free to give comment in Chinese or English. If it is in English, we will translate it. Thanks and hope you can reply.

Lunar / Chinese New Year

[1]: why would "Chinese New Year" be preferred to "Lunar New Year"? It is also celebrated similarly in (at least) Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. - Jmabel ! talk 19:13, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

When I turned the Category:Lunar New Year into a redirect to Category:Chinese New Year, all it contained where pictures of celebrations of Chinese New Year in Hong Kong. I recategorized these pictures to Category:Chinese New Year, Hong Kong and created the redirect. I agree that this redirect is restrictive. Feel free to change the redirect or the details of the Category:Lunar New Year as you think is appropriate. Millevache (talk) 14:34, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

I have reverted my edit of Category:Lunar New Year to its original version, but for the reason that I have mentioned above, the category is now empty. Millevache (talk) 14:37, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

My mistake. I used CommonsHelper to import this file from en:Wikipedia. It was not tagged and was labeled as "public domain". I did not realise that the source info was missing. It's OK to delete the file if needed. Millevache (talk) 15:46, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
