Permissions and removed categories on "File:לא שווה להיות ביסקסואלית.jpg"

I'm not sure why you removed these? The poster is a protest poster from the Tel Aviv Pride month radical LGBT campaign, and refers to bisexual oppression. You also put a permissions warning on it even though I clearly stated I own the rights to it... Why? TMagen (talk) 19:11, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I am writing in response to the email notification regarding the violation of the rights to the logo used in IV LO entry. I would like to confirm that I am the author of the school logo used both on the facebook website http://www.facebook.com/pages/4LO/176947745693389 and in the Wikipedia entry that has been recently created by me. Should I obtain a confirmation from the school to make sure the entry is not deleted ? Or maybe there is some other way to confirm that I have actually made it ? I am quite new at this and this is my first Wiki entry, therefore I would like to do it by the book. Looking forward to hearing from you Thank you for your help

Voting templates at FPC

Hi Cathy,

I changed two of you voting templates at FPC, cf the recognised voting templates. You can express a nuance to your vote using an optional parameter in the voting templates. I.e., {{Support|Weak support}} gives  Weak support, and {{Support|Strong Support}} gives  Strong support. --Slaunger (talk) 18:27, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Your participating in voting

Dear Cathy,

I can see that you participated in the featured picture voting on Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Steinway & Sons concert grand piano, model D-274, manufactured at Steinway's factory in Hamburg, Germany.png. Fortunately, this beautiful picture became a featured picture because many persons participated in the voting period. The rules says that there has to be at least 7 supporting votes and a ratio of supporting/opposing votes at least 2/1 (a two-thirds majority).[1]

Therfore, I would kindly ask you if you would like to give your vote in this similar voting Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Steinway & Sons upright piano, model K-132, manufactured at Steinway's factory in Hamburg, Germany.png before it ends on 9 May 2012 at 01:58:26 (UTC).

Thanks!

Dear Cathy,

Thank you very much for your last participating in a featured picture voting about a musical instrument. I would kindly ask you if you would like to give your vote (and comments) in this featured picture voting about an upright piano of mahogany "Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Steinway & Sons upright piano, model K-52 (mahogany finish), manufactured at Steinway's factory in New York City.jpg" before it ends on 23 Jun 2012 at 08:07:03 (UTC).

What are you doing on categories? Please stop it !

Hi Cathy Richards. What are you doing on categories? What is the sense of your destructive edits? Please stop it! I lost a lot of time to revert many of your wrong edits. Why do you delete inter-wikis? Why do you cancel important mother-categories like here? And please, don't delete at Ancient Roman categories the Category:Ancient Roman categories: this is a very important category for maintenance of these cats, and for the correct assignment of the categories that relate to the world and culture of ancient Rome. Don't do it again! If you don't undestand the sense or the importance of all these categories and the complex system of category-trees of Commons, please let it be, don't make any edits. Otherwise they are to be considered vandalism. Thank you! --DenghiùComm (talk) 15:24, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Creating apparent category inconsistency

You should either remove all Venus symbols from Category:Female symbols, or leave them all in... AnonMoos (talk) 18:49, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Why are you removing "Category:Female symbols" from only some images in "Category:Venus symbols", but leaving it place for others? I don't understand it, and I doubt whether it's resulting in clearer categorization... AnonMoos (talk) 06:28, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

It doesn't make too much sense to add "Wicca" to this category (and Wicca also should not have been in Category:Mother Goddess). Wiccans did not invent neo-pagan Goddess worship, Wiccans do not monopolize neo-pagan Goddess worship, and Wiccans do not define neo-pagan Goddess worship for other groups. At most it can be said that they publicized it (though they must share the honors with Robert Graves, who significantly influenced the concept of the Wiccan Goddess, while Wiccans didn't influence Robert Graves at all). If "Mother Goddess" is de facto a Wiccan category, then its name should be changed to indicate this, because its current name does not indicate Wiccan-specificity. AnonMoos (talk) 13:39, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

And why are you removing neighborhood categories? Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:49, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

If a photo or category is listed in both a general category (say "Manhattan") and a specific category which is entirely included in the general category (say "Kips Bay, Manhattan"), then remove the general category, not the specific one. Also, many categories are not entirely included in another categories: streets, for instance, can pass through many neighborhoods. I've rollback many of your edits of the past couple of days because your deletions were incorrect. Please be more careful in your editing. If you are uncertain about whether to take a cat out or not, leave it in! Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:01, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
You continue to make these kinds of errors. Why did you remove Flagler College from the Henry Flagler category? The school is named after him.

Removing from Category:Wikimedia Community Logos

Możesz wyjaśnić, co spowodowało tę edycję i kilkanaście innych, w których z plików zależnych od File:Wikimedia Community Logo.svg usunęłaś Category:Wikimedia Community Logos? Jeśli chodzi o to, że w nazwie kategorii nie powinno się Nadużywać Wielkich Liter, to wystarczyłoby chyba podmienić jedną kategorię na drugą, a nie usuwać istniejącą… odder (talk) 09:24, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Category:Social equality

Not sure why you removed individual quality symbol images from "Category:Social equality", since "Category:Equality symbols" is not a subcategory of "Category:Social equality" (nor would it seem appropriate)... AnonMoos (talk) 00:12, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Sexuality and Reproduction

Hi. I'm very glad with your participation in the sex-themed categories. I think we both agree on that in actual terms (AKA real life), reproduction --- being a derivative of life cycle --- gives birth to sexuality and not the other way around. Sexuality, being the physiological, social and psychological infrastructure that is in turn materialized in activity(ies) of sex, is in service of the primordial call to reproduce. So the only question is about the specific category directionality - "from cause to result" vs "from result to cause", that Commons should employ to best demonstrate this path for navigational purposes. The way I see it, category trees typically and ideally begin from the "larger" base, i.e. the causes-of-life, and then step gradually across the stations down to "birth" (where it all starts again, hehe), and by this, Category:Reproduction must contain Category:Sexuality, and not be parented by it. See my in changes in these cats and tell me if you see eye to eye with that method or have other insights. Orrlingtalk 20:02, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Porn is art

Pornography is a (artistic) representation of humans having sex, - not only by movies but most mediae, so I can't see why Category:People having sex in art shoudn't be parent-category for Category:Pornography. In this light, porn films don't need themselves the "People having sex in art"-tag, simply because films are one medium of art within the broader pornography that includes also books, web porn, live shows... = all being arts (as I see it). Please tell if you see things in a different way. Thanks, Orrlingtalk 16:47, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Stop the obsession about red parents please

Stop creating categories that only include a single item, or omitting them from where they are. Red parents are a most legitimate infrastructure for future categories that may not necessarily have enough content at present when they are added, therefore removing them is wrong - and at the same time, "bluing" them without caring to populate them is also wrong.

Please stop removing the principals of architectural firms

Perhaps you are not aware that the names you are removing are those of architects who founded or were othewrwise principals of those firms. As such they need to be cross-categorized. The obsession with a single-hierarchy structure is damaging, and makes it harder for people to find things. Life isn't a straight-forward hierarchy, and neither should our categorization be. You can help by stopping these edits. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:56, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Fellatio in art

Hi Cathy Richards. To give the Category:Males having sex in art to the Category:Fellatio in art is wrong! "Fellatio" means "oral sex" and can be performed by males and by females. These two sub-categories are in the cat "Fellatio in art". The category "Males having sex in art" ist just given (correctly!) to the category "Males performing fellatio in art‎". So please don't overcat the generic category "Fellatio in art" with the specific category "Males performing fellatio in art‎", because this is wrong, and it's an overcategorization too. Tank you!

Thanks for assisting at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. When moving between categories though, I would advise leaving an attribution notice in the edit summary to comply with the CC-BY-SA guidelines as well as note the original authors of a category.

Your Cat-a-lot

Hi Cathy, because the category Hearts with transparent background is too heavily crowded (at the moment 472 items) I thought to diffuse some groups of files into useful subcategories. I made a note about that into the category.
One suggested action would be to move all files «Valentines-day-hearts-X-alphabet-at-coloring-pages-for-kids-boys-dotcom.svg» into an own subcategory, the Valentine's Day hearts alphabet. To avoid crowding of that subcategory, I established an own subcategory for all the GIF files. This structure seemed useful to me, and it would make subcategories with not more than 40 items.

You recategorized many of these alphabet files, thank you. But at the moment all SVGs are still additionally contained in the main category, and all the GIFs in the higher subcategory instead of the lower one.

I would like to find an agreeable solution, together with you. I am not sure whether Cat-a-lot is the best tool for that, may be you know to request a bot? Let's talk about! sarang사랑 15:43, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Picture of the Year 2013 R2 Announcement

Round 2 of Picture of the Year 2013 is open!

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thank you for your recent edits to the categories I created. Do you think the category Category:Two human males, Category:Two human females should be created? I only ask because I found in the category Category:Brothers that there were animal brothers that I didn't expect to find, moved to Category:Two brothers. Then, maybe a Category:Two animal brothers category should be created too? Because two brothers is under the category Category:Two males.

United States military ribbon-cutting ceremonies outside the United States

I noticed that you tagged Category:United States military ribbon-cutting ceremonies outside the United States for speedy, which I guess is my own fault for making it and then going out and doing other things the past couple days without explaining first. But there are 50+, maybe 100+ items in Category:Ribbon-cutting ceremonies to drill down there, which I'll try and get to over the weekend; it's basically all the U.S. military images that I didn't already drill down into Category:United States military ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the United States‎. I've explained further at Category talk:United States military ribbon-cutting ceremonies outside the United States#New category. --Closeapple (talk) 15:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Correction: It appears I didn't get all the photos that should go "in the United States" either; probably forgot to check past the 200 file mark when I was doing them. So there are still files from Category:Ribbon-cutting ceremonies to put into both subcategories. --Closeapple (talk) 15:50, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I see, but why since 2004 the Toulouse museum have not change his mind about this problem.

Gender-neutral actor subcategories

I noticed that you put Category:Not Ready For Prime Time Players in an actress category. Why do we have "Actors by production" and "Actresses by production" separately anyway? I had the same problem with Category:Television actors vs. Category:Television actresses, but I understood that one, so I just left it off as a parent category. Is there any sense at all to actors being split by gender by production? I think there needs to be a gender-neutral actor category structure of some kind, because (1) people who are not thinking about gender are going to drop everyone in "actor"; (2) the current split makes it impossible to properly categorize gender-neutral categories like Category:Not Ready For Prime Time Players because both parent categories make large number of actors and actresses descendant categories of the explicitly-declared wrong gender. If someone were to use {{Intersect categories}} on an actress category right now, for example, it might throw all the guys on SNL into another "actress" category because they're only one level removed from being an actress. Has there been any discussion of renaming male-specific categories to "Male actors" instead, so that we at least have a primitive gender-neutral actor structure when the subject requires it? --Closeapple (talk) 23:08, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

LGBT activists categories

Hi Cathy. The reason for including both Category:LGBT people from South Africa and Category:LGBT activists from South Africa is that the latter is not necessary LGBT people per Category:LGBT activists description and the associated w:en:Category:LGBT rights activists description.

Flagging File:DPART Roundel Final Version.png ?

Cathy Richards,

May i ask why have you nominated our new logo for deletion? Would it not have been pertinent to check that the logo is actually hosted on our website prior to doing so? http://www.dpart.org/

I find it rather perplexing that you would flag a self designed logo for "permission" deletion when it clearly has attribution attached to it. :/

Regardless I have now submitted an email to permissions @ wikicommons, it is just frustrating as I have enough on my plate and then having to take time out to "re-explain" my position to Wiki is highly irregular considering I created the logo and have creative ownership of said item and have allowed it be shared on the public domain. What ever happened to Wikimedia and Wikipedia being the "people" portal?!

Please could you kindly send users a message prior to such edits or flags.

Cheers.

Images deleted and email send about copyright... can you help me?

Hi Cathy: Sorry to bother you, but I will like to ask you for advise and help. I add some images into my account and I send the authorization form by email. Some of the pictures were deleted. I receive an email asking for more information (like websites where I use it). I already send this new email with links to different websites (and keeping the reference number of the previous email on the subject), but i didn't receive any reply and I am thinking that may be more images will be deleted if I don't receive an answer soon. We are not a big company or famous photographer, so we don't have official registrations in agencies or anything like that, but we use all the images, that produce ourselves, to show our film work and we never charge anything anywhere. We have different accounts in internet where we showcase the pictures. We send the information on the email and we follow all the instructions that we receive before. Also I cannot upload the images that were deleted previously. Do you think that, after it is clear, there is any way to re-upload it? Can you check for me, if possible, please? Thanks and sorry again for the trouble. All the best. Almost Red Productions.

Categories

If you have such passion in adding categories can you please do it with more sense, not just "To add something"?

Please add:

Important!

If you are going to add Category:Alexey Petrovich of Russia in portraits in Category:Portraits of Russia please look before in Category:Portraits of Russia to see that somebody did a hell of work to cleaning up there? And to see that here are only 8 (eight) sub-categories prudently structured: "by century; by model; by author etc". And than think: mayby your 9th category Category:Alexey Petrovich of Russia in portraits will be a little strange there?

It is hard for you to take a little more time and think what category will be more appropriate? You don't like to search a little longer? To find out that Maximilian I is "monarch" not "people"?

Do you understand than very often your work is so inaccurate that it should be redone by other wikiusers? Please be more accurate.--Shakko (talk) 12:47, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

ONCE AGAIN

Category:Zinaida Nikolaevna Yusupova in portraits is NOT for Category:Portraits of women. Look into Category:Portraits of women - do you see there any other category with model's name? Why you don't look at first? If you need to add something - go on and create Category:Portraits of women by name. If your specialization at commons is "adding categories', why you can't do it faultless?--Shakko (talk) 21:31, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Cathy,

Have you previously posted the image in your blog? If so I would accept the CC dual license but have no idea how it works on here. Would you please help me out with this? Thanks for your precious help.

Category:Romantic composers from France

Hi Cathy Richards, I am sorry to see that you had to undo some of my actions in the musical department. Let me give some the reasons for my cleaning-up the categories which are now redundant in a way. Some time ago I was working on a system for the musical categories, so that it would possible to search for a category of specific musicians, even if the group would be limited to one or two files. The problem with that was: a lot of navigational categories and many categories with only a little number of files in them. Some users pointed out to me that it was not a desirable method, it would be better to start a new category, only when it can be filled with a substancial number of files/musicians. I was now working on cleaning and creating a limited number of straight sets of categories, with little as possible divisions. Some divions are rather easy e.g. female-male, but especialy the musical styles and specialisations are not always so easy and they are far too numerous, such as classical style periods, or the different rock and other styles. All the same, some categories must still get attention, an clear exemple is the Violinists from the United States where the subdivision of 'male/female violinists from the United States' sould be continued or that it must be turned back to the original category. Anyway I am open for suggestions, so if you have some, don't hesitate...--Elgewen (talk) 14:26, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

1903 Acland photo category removal

What is your rationale for removing the "Early color photography" (and yet not "Early colour photographs"!?!) category from this image? It is a colo(u)r photo taken by the separation method, like en:Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky's slightly later ones, and a nice early-dated example which does not deserve to be made less apparent to users by removing a relevant category. 66.249.175.210 19:37, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

I see you've reinstated "Early color photography", for which thanks, but now removed "Early colour photographs". If one has to go, you probably had it right the first time: Acland was British. IMO, both categories need to remain. Having those two practically identical categories is obviously undesirable, but they are a manifestation of the eternal AE-BE spelling war for which no mutually acceptable solution, other than peaceful coexistence, has yet been found. 66.249.175.210 20:08, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

You have subsequently removed the Transvestite category, again without a note of explanation. What are you doing? Transgender and transvestite are distinct categories. Please explain why you are doing this. It doesn't take much effort to add a note! Your actions are NOT HELPFUL. Emerald (talk) 23:22, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Condoms in art

Hello, Cathy! Concerning this edit, while I agree that most "Somethings in art" categories in Commons use a too-broad notion of art, this matter should be centrally addressed (I’d support a wholesale change to "Depictions of Somethings", f.i.) and not changed willy-nilly in separate instances. The problem with this poster image is that, while it depicts a condom very proeminently, your edit removed all categorization concerning condoms. If you oppose this being among the contents of Category:Condoms in art (and I cannot disagree), then please move it up to Category:Condoms, instead of disconnecting it from condoms at all. -- Tuválkin 18:23, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Cathy Richards, I have undone your category removal on File:Photo_Booth_Self_Portraits_by_George_Chakravarthi.jpg.

I notice you have twice reverted my reverts at Red Rose Badge of Lancaster.svg? The newest version is to my understanding upside-down. I explained this both times I reverted and have left a note for Sodacan. I don't have much experience with reverting to old versions of files, and obviously you've not explained why you keep reverting me.
