Category:Diergaarde Blijdorp

I tried to add a {kept} to the talk page but it created a red link. I just left a statement as to the reason instead. Feel free to correct my statement.--Canoe1967 (talk) 19:15, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

The category was not nominated for deletion, but for discussion. For category discussions, a kept tag is not usually added. You can refer to the discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2011/09/Category:Diergaarde Blijdorp if someone doubts the outcome. There was a solid consensus for keeping the category. --rimshot^talk 21:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I never noticed that. I addded the link to the talk page.

Resolved

VP naming discussion

Since you participated in the CfD that led to this, you may be interested in Commons:Village_pump#Mass_renaming_needed_for_.22d._.C3.84..22_articles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:59, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Stamps of Moldova

Hello, Rimshot! You recently closed the discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2012/01/Category:Stamps of Moldova, but the problem which prompted me to open that discussion is still not solved: the category says that stamps are PD and points to a template that says that stamps are copyrighted. So, which is it? If it's PD, can you correct the template? Razvan Socol (talk) 09:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Category discussions are normally about questions like good names for categories etc. and not about copyright questions. Therefore I will usually just follow a deletion request's outcome when closing such a discussion. In this case, I followed the first link, not looking at the year. A more recent request had the same outcome, however. As the question is really about the copyright template being correct, the CFDs might not have been the best place to discuss this. I will open a discussion at Commons talk:Stamps/Public domain. If it turns out that the template is correct, a lot of images will have to be deleted. --rimshot^talk 20:48, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I've responded more fully at Commons talk:Stamps/Public domain#Moldovan Stamps. The copyright template is wrong, it was improperly edited by User:Zscout370 who was not involved in either of the discussions mentioned above and should be reverted. Ww2censor (talk) 22:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

I have not heard or seen a reaction to this or my Commons talk:Stamps/Public domain#Moldovan Stamps page posting. So I want to revert the Moldovan template edit as there that edit was never discussed or substantiated by Zscout370 but the template has been completely changed so I don't see how to revert his edit. Ww2censor (talk) 08:54, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

There hasn't been any, unfortunately. I have advertised at Commons:Village pump/Copyright in the hopes of attracting some more input. --rimshot^talk 19:24, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that there has been no input. I figured out how to revert the template. Ww2censor (talk) 20:58, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Commons:Categories for discussion/2012/03

I'm just wondering what the status of the "New York City by period" discussion is. Hamblin (talk) 01:24, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

The status is that no-one ever participated in the discussion, apart from the nominator (me). If you have an opinion on deleting or keeping these categories, feel free to participate. I'd rather not delete categories after a discussion in which only I took part. --rimshot^talk 19:13, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I am interested in the trees pertaining to New York City -- particularly its history -- but I haven't studied the situation enough yet to have a firm opinion on the big picture. When I do I will participate. Hamblin (talk) 00:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
