Welcome to commons Yerpo. What better way than starting off with a Quality Image promotion could there be? :-) --QICbot 12:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

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 informations 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.

[edit] Image:Bay-of-Piran maritime-boundary-dispute.jpg

Whatever -- I dislike very much the fact that you're trying to sneak an allegation into the "disputed map" tag which is simply not supported by the relevant talk pages, since at Image talk:Bay-of-Piran maritime-boundary-dispute.jpg and en:Talk:Gulf of Piran there have been absolutely no remotely credible allegations whatsoever of "NPOV", in any usual or accepted meaning of the phrase. Instead, there have been only semantic hairsplittings over the possible speculated hypothetical potential implications of asymmetrical wording (even though I have explained in great detail that the aforementioned asymmetrical wording has nothing to do with me supporting Croatian or Slovenian positions, but is solely due to Croatia currently being the status quo power), and the use of an exonym. All the disputes are abstractly terminological and metaphysical, and have nothing to do with me advocating any particular position in the dispute between Croatia and Slovenia.

And even more importantly, according to the official policy Commons:Scope#.22Neutral_point_of_view.22 , it is generally not the reponsibility of Commons to adjudicate such matters. Obviously, an image which is being used to spread blatant falsehood can be deleted for that reason, but where there is a legitimate content dispute (some which are a hell of a lot more "POV" than anything involved in the Piran image, such as maps showing the status of Kosovo or Western Sahara) then it is not the role of us here on Wikimedia Commons to make decisions which the individual language Wikipedias can and should make for themselves...

[edit] Municipalities of Slovenia

I have seen that you created for example the category Cankova municipality. I just added the towns/villages in that municipality in the short explaining text. I think that that is useful when people search on a village name. Then it is easier to know in which category the image can be put. For example I tried a search on the name "Korovci" and found the image File:Kapela_Korovci.jpg with the category "Churches in Prekmurje". I think we can add to that photo also "Cankova municipality".
I am not familiar with your country Slovenia. What do you think about it?
Just an other idea. I live in Belgium and we have made for all 2419 cities and villages a separate category. Some of them are still empty (no images yet) but the advantage that the structure is there. What do you think, would it be useful to expand the existing 66 municipalities of Slovenia to 210 municipalities? Regards, Wouter (talk) 21:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Of course I will make categories for the rest of the municipalities, it's just too much work to do it in one go ;). List of settlements looks useful and I'll probably put it in the rest as well, but as for including images, there is one problem: Slovenia is noted for the lack of imagination in geographic names and some names appear many times throughout the country (see for example the disambiguation page for the name Log). So in some cases it is difficult to know in which of the settlements was the picture taken if it doesn't say in the description page. But yes, sorting existing pictures comes next and I plan to enlist some help from Slovenians when I finish this. For now I'm just categorizing those pictures that are included in the articles about settlements in Slovene WP. --Yerpo (talk) 06:17, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! The advantage when you do this with the help of other Slovenians is that there will be no typing errors because of the for me "difficult" characters. For situations as you mentioned with "Log" I experienced that it helps sometimes when I put a message on the users page and ask for the exact name and give a link to the disambiguation page. I also "follow" the page of the photo because the user may answer on the user page and/or change it him/her self in the description with the photo. The last half year I work also on Media needing categories and that is why I came accross photos of Slovenia that I wanted to put in the right category. Wouter (talk) 08:04, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Can you give me some examples of photos from Slovenia that are uncategorized? I might be able to help. Is there some pattern (uploader, description, etc.) so I can find them easier? --Yerpo (talk) 20:25, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

To give examples of uncategorized photos is difficult. When I see new ones I will give you the filenames or may be better the name of the user. The most recent ones were almost all that are now in Category:Cankova. You can see it by looking at the photos and looking at the history. Often I look at the other contributions of a user when I have categorized a photo and do a search on a word (for example Cankova) to see whether there are more photos for the same category. Also I look sometimes at the contributions in the gallery presentation because then you can see immediately whether they are categorized (search on "Media needing categories"). In this case I did not do it with User:Lanfra and User:Doncsecz (there you find about 10 examples of uncategorized images). It all depends on the quality of the first photo I see. When very worthwile I spend quite some effort, when very small size or not sharp I just leave them uncategorized. Hope this helps. Wouter (talk) 21:46, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

 Requirement Please geolocate. Lycaon (talk) 16:49, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I cannot due to conservational concerns (as said on the image page). Would it be enough to say the animal is from a cave in Slovenia? Situation with illegal capturing of cave fauna is bad as it is in the country. If the requirement is absolute, then I withdraw my nomination. --Yerpo (talk) 16:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

You don't have to give exact coordinates when conservational concerns play. There are other ways to give an approximate geolocation. E.g., for some rare plants I give the coords of a town and state that the image was taken within a 5 km radius (that's over 75 km²). Don't withdraw as yet, we can work something out. Lycaon (talk) 17:06, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

It's a lot easier to single out caves in the vicinity of a settlement than forests/pastures (Slovenia has a good public cave register), so the region within Slovenia is the most I'm prepared to share. --Yerpo (talk) 17:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] May be you can help for category

Hi, I have seen the photo File:Kabverdi_2_048.jpg without a category. From the description I understand it is Slovenian. Computer translated "Volcanic crater on the island of Sal", but I could not find an island Sal. From the photo it looks more a place where salt is collected from the see. Could you give it the right category? Thanks. Wouter (talk) 14:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey. It's this Sal. I categorized the image and translated the description. --Yerpo (talk) 17:09, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
