Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Palamède!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Bonjour ! Il faut créer des catégories avec le nom complet des personnes concernées, et pas seulement leur nom de famille. Rien ne dit par exemple qu'une autre personne connue, ou une commune dans le monde, ne porte pas le nom Cuvier ou Mansart : une catégorie comme Category:Statues of Mansart serait alors une source de confusion.

Category:Calvaire de la rue Louais (Saint-Quay-Portrieux)

Bonjour. Merci de la correction (Étables et non Saint-Quay). Je me demande pourtant s'il ne serait pas envisageable de catégoriser sur les deux communes : la fiche Mérimée précise "anciennement commune de Saint-Quay", géographiquement le calvaire est dans le bourg de Saint-Quay et pa s dans celui d’Étables, et l'office de tourisme de Saint-Quay le mentionne parmi les curiosités à voir. Bonne continuation.Palamède (talk) 07:26, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Bonjour,

Pour ce que j'ai pu en constater, cartographiquement, ce calvaire dépend effectivement, administrativement de la commune d'Étables-sur-Mer. Mais à son extrême limite, dans la continuité de l'agglomération de Saint-Quay-Portrieux. Quoi qu'on en dise, malgré les informations de l'office du tourisme (office municipal ou intercommunal ? Dans ce dernier cas, il est bien compréhensible qu'il puisse parler d'une curiosité dans la commune voisine...) et le fait qu'il soit situé dans le bourg de Saint-Quay, les catégorisations s'effectuent à la commune. A ce titre, j'aurai tendance, personnellement, à ne catégoriser qu'à Étables... D'ailleurs, je comptais entamer les démarches pour fusionner Category:Calvaire de la rue Louais (Saint-Quay-Portrieux) et Category:Calvaire d'Étables-sur-Mer en Category:Calvaire de la rue Louais (Étables-sur-Mer). Maintenant, je vais toutefois attendre un retour, et un agrément, de votre part avant d'entamer cette procédure. Bonne soirée, --Fab5669 (talk) 16:25, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Vous avez raison sur la catégorisation, le calvaire est dans la commune d'Étables et n'a pas à être catégorisé ailleurs. Je vous propose cependant, vues les raisons évoquées précédemment, une alternative pour le nom de la catégorie.

Mettre ce que vous proposez Category:Calvaire de la rue Louais (Étables-sur-Mer) ou bien Category:Calvaire de la rue Louais (Étables-sur-mer, Saint-Quay-Portieux); j'avoue que cette dernière formulation aurait ma préférence, mais libre à vous de fiare le choix qui vous paraîtra le plus judicieux. Bonne continuation.Palamède (talk) 09:55, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Il est vrai que la limite intercommunale est vraiment très proche. Mais considérant que la Liste des MH parle bien de Calvaire d'Étables-sur-Mer]], je crois que je vais conserver ma première intention... Bonne soirée, --Fab5669 (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

File:Saint-Quay-Portrieux (France), windmill 5.jpg

Hello Palamède,
I am a bit worried that my comment on your picture could be taken negatively. I really like your picture - it is one of my favourites in this contest - and therefore tried if cropping would be an improvement while trying to select the three pictures I like best (a tough decision).

Henri Duponchel

Greetings Palamède!

I noticed your very nice pictures of the Bibliothèque de l'Opéra Garnier, e.g., File:Bibliothèque de l'Opéra Garnier (Paris, France)..JPG. Thank you for taking this picture and sharing it at Wikimedia Commons.

On the English and French Wikipedias we have articles about Henri Duponchel, a former director of the Opéra in the 19th century, but our portrait picture is not very high quality, since it ultimately derives from a Google Books scan of a reproduction in a book. According to some sources, the original oil (by Lépaulle) is on display in the Garnier Opera Library and Museum. Should you ever have the opportunity, it would be really great to have a good high-resolution photo of the original portrait. (By the way, he is sometimes referred to as Edmond or Edmond Henri. As far as we know he never himself used the name Edmond.)

According to Gérard Fontaine's Charles Garnier's Opéra: Architecture and Interior Decor, there is also a bust of him on display in the east corridor outside the auditorium at the level of the first lodges (couloir des premières lodges, buste 22). In the corridors and public spaces of the Garnier house there are busts of many other persons associated with the Opéra, for some of whom we do not have any images. For example, we do not currently have an image of the stage decorator Charles-Antoine Cambon (buste 35 in the Rotonde du Glacier, also on the east side). There are probably many other examples. We currently have the Category:Busts of Palais Garnier, but as of this moment, all the images are of busts on the exterior of the building. It may be difficult to get good pictures of busts on the interior. Lighting is always a problem.

Anyway, these are just suggestions for possible images currently lacking at Commons. Thanks again for your contributions and best regards, --Robert.Allen (talk) 00:50, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Photo challenge...

Bonjour Palamède.

La photo que tu as mise pour le concours est hors-sujet qui est un rapport de taille (grand/petit), pas d'action. Je vais donc la retirer pour cette raison. Par contre, le concept avec (presque) la même photo, en pose longue, avec deux (voire trois) couleurs du feu collerait bien à Light on the move.

Bon weekend. --Llann .\m/ ^{(Lie 2 me ...)} 16:11, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Bon. Il me semblait que la formulation ("one contrasting pair of subjects (comparative concept) Big and small, thick and thin, fat and skinny, long and short... ") autorisait une certaine liberté. Peut-être en ai-je abusé en effet. Bonne continuation.Palamède (talk) 17:33, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

La formulation première est exprimée en français et, si je ne m'abuse, tu es francophone ? J'ai traduit puis demandé à ce que ce soit corrigé si besoin, et je n'avais rien à redire sur la correction. Si tu es totalement bilingue, je t'invite à prendre le sujet en français et de me proposer une traduction plus proche de ce que j'ai exprimé ; je t'en serai très reconnaissant. Le comparative concept est dans la taille, comme l'illustrent les vignettes mises en exemples. Si ce n'est pas clair, je peux reformuler. --Llann .\m/ ^{(Lie 2 me ...)} 18:03, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Pas de problème. Tu n'as pas à t'excuser : on peut tous faire des erreurs d’interprétation et, dans ce cas-ci, il n'y a vraiment aucune conséquence . C'est dommage, malgré tout, car je trouve ta photo très sympa, bien cadrée, bien lumineuse et déclenchée au bon moment. Dommage aussi que ne sois pas bilingue, ça m'aurait aidé : la majorté des autres utilisateurs ne le sont pas non plus vers le français et ça me crée, à moi aussi, des erreurs d'interprétation... Bon weekend/bonne semaine. --Llann .\m/ ^{(Lie 2 me ...)} 14:42, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Bonjour et merci pour votre participation à Wiki Loves Monuments.

Cependant, la photographie File:Passerelle des Capucins (Audierne), 2015.jpg ne représente apparemment pas un monument historique protégé concerné par le concours Wiki Loves Monuments. Cette photographie a donc été retirée du concours.

PS: même chose pour la photographie File:Église Saint-Julien-le-Passeur de Poulgoazec (2015).jpg

Bonjour,

Tout d'abord, je clarifie un point : la photographie n'est pas supprimée, elle est juste retirée du concours mais reste bien disponible sur Commons.

Ensuite, il y a effectivement une fiche Mérimée mais c'est une fiche sur un bien inventorié et non sur un monument historique. Tout ce qui est dans la base Mérimée n'est pas forcément un monument historique.

...this? --Horcrux92 (talk) 10:00, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Can you help

I noticed that you did an edit on Category:Books to be categorised by country yesterday. I am cleaning up Book Cats of all kinds. Especially ones where there are up to thousands of incomplete uploads such as the above mentioned Category most are in Category:Books by year. Should there even be single images in the above Category? They are not books. They are just photos and scans and pdf's and djvu files. If User:Fae's Bot Script did a better job they would be in a major book category already and not dumped at Category:Books to be categorised by country. If it had done a better Bot job all those 22,000 images would be the Book Cats to be cleaned up. It is my opinion that all these single images be deleted . Can I have your opinion if you have any say in major Commons matters? Thanks WayneRay (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Mistake?

It looks like something went wrong here. Moved to wrong category or forgot to creatie it? - Robotje (talk) 08:13, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Your changes to categories for French regions

Hello, Palamède. I noticed that you added some things to categories that don't belong there. An example is this change to Category:Weather and climate in Auvergne where you added the following:

• {{Countries of Europe|prefix=:Category:Weather and climate in|suffix=by region}}: since this category is for a region, not a country, this template doesn't help.
• {{Cat see also|Weather and climate in France by department}}: Since this category was for an individual region, not for all the regions, it also doesn't help here.
• {{MetaCat|region|topic=Weather and climate|topic2=France}}: this category is not a metacategory, so this template should not be used.

The things you added would be appropriate on Category:Weather and climate in France by region, but not on the categories for the individual regions. Please do not add these to the categories for the individual regions. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:05, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Overcategorization

Hi Palamède, you put images in Category:Restaurants in Basse-Normandie also into Category:Restaurants in Normandie where the former category is already a sub-category. Example: [2]. This is in violation of COM:OVERCAT and you should undo this. Kind regards, AFBorchert (talk) 13:35, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for my very bad english. Regions of France are changing. It is usefull to have old (ie Bassse-Normandie here) and new categories (Normandie here) at the same time during this (long?) change. We have to make sure that no mistakes are done in moving categories (ie verify by other users). It is also the case for other categories and other regions of France. But "Basse Normandie" will desapear as soon as possible. Kind regards.Palamède (talk) 06:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Palamède, please pardon me for not writing in French. Your English is surely better than my French. But please feel free to respond in French if this is easier for you. I can read French texts, it is just hard for me to respond in French.

Thank you for pointing out that Basse-Normandie is no longer an administrative unit. I did not know that and from fr:Basse-Normandie I learn that Basse-Normandie and Haute-Normandie were fusioned on 1 January 2016. Nonetheless I think that such a major reorganization requires a discussion at COM:CFD. See, it is not uncommon to keep using traditional geographic regions even when they are no longer administrative units. In Ireland, we have Category:County Dublin which is still used despite being administratively split into the city of Dublin, and the modern counties of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin. In Northern Ireland, we have since ages no administrative counties but Category:County Fermanagh etc. continue to be the used. The reason behind this is that nearly all scientific works for Ireland continue to use the traditional 32 counties as geographic divisions of the island. We have similar approaches for other countries as well. Take Category:East Frisia for example which is a region of the state of Lower Saxony with no administrative function (which it had in the past). In summary, we should follow the literature, not the ever-changing reorgs by the politicians. And on my table I've a work Les vitraux de Basse-Normandie, and there exists a similar work of the Corpus Vitrearum for Haute-Normandie and so many other traditional regions of France. There are so many other works which focus on these old regions like Basse-Normandie that we should hesitate before we quickly abandon them here at Commons in our category system. There is no problem with keeping categories for Nomandie with sub-categories for Basse- and Haute-Normandie. However, if you are still convinced that we have to abandon the old regions, please open a discussion first to get input from others before investing too much work in a reorganization of our categorization system. Thanks & regards, AFBorchert (talk) 19:29, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Recategorizations...

These are buttresses

Hi Palamède, please be careful with recategorizations like this one. There is no buttress depicted on this photograph and Réthoville is in Manche (east of Cherbourg), not in Calvados. Kind regards, AFBorchert (talk) 01:02, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Writers by name

Dear Palamède, You started this Category:Writers from the Netherlands to be categorised by name, and filled it with 470 images. I didn't like the category, because it hinders a clear structure and makes searching more difficult by placing files that could be placed in 1 category in 2 or even 3 categories. You did the same with Category:Writers from France to be categorised by name (880 files) -as with other countries. I see you are now creating a Category:Writers from the Switzerland by name. Is it possible to first finish off the categories in Category:Writers to be categorised by name, by either returning these files to their old category or by making categories for all these different writers (and filling them with only 1 photograph)? I sincerely hope you will clean up the mess yourself, and not leave that to others. I ask this because your categorization is not helpful in this way, and only creating difficulties. (And I see that these categories are also under discussion at the moment.) Vysotsky (talk) 15:26, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Categorisation

Dear Palamède, It looks as if you dislike useful categories like Writers from the Netherlands. You moved several photographs from this category to the category Writers from the Netherlands by type, which is both not logical and not useful. If you want to do so nonetheless, please start a discussion first. I will change the items back to their original category. Vysotsky (talk) 07:45, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
Moreover: Category Writers from the Netherlands by type is a metacategory: Ceci est une catégorie meta qui ne devrait contenir que des sous-catégories. Tout fichier trouvé ici devrait être recatégorisé dans l'une des sous-catégories. Si nécessaire, de nouvelles sous-catégories peuvent être créées. Cet avertissement doit être placé dans les catégories qui contiennent d'autres catégories, par exemple Food by country, qui ne doit renfermer que des catégories comme Food of Kyrgyzstan et Cheese by country (voir Commons:Naming categories pour plus de détails).

Rue Rochelongue à Montpellier

Bonjour Palamède,
Je suis au regret de vous signaler que la Rue Rochelongue n'existe pas dans la ville de Montpellier. Cette dénomination très locale de quartier est en rapport aux chants des cigales en été mais sans appellation officielle, d'où la confusion dont vous avez été abusé au regard des quelques minutes que vous vous êtes accordés de manipulations. En effet, si les fichiers portent l'indication Rochelongue, leurs contenus s'adressent à un ensemble de rues faisant parties du centre historique de la ville.
Je comprends bien qu'à la vitesse de vos modifications, visibles dans vos contributions, il est possible de faire des erreurs ou de se méprendre de certains sujets.
Cordialement, —— DePlusJean (talk) 14:08, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Merci de la spontanéité et de la sincérité de ta réponse Je me permet de déposer le lien de notre échange de conversation pour justifier le renommage de la catégorie auprès de nos administrateurs. Cordialement, —— DePlusJean (talk) 02:07, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
