When you upload images such as Image:Placa_de_asiento.png you give links like http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/r/ra/railking/156317_5656.jpg instead of http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=156317 which contain the license info and other information regarding the image, please do so in the future.

And also upload the larger version of the image, that is much preferred and in JPEG format rather than PNG for photographic images.

• Give none-direct urls which contain information on the image
• JPEG not PNG for photographic images.

Thank you. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 22:19, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You can b.t.w. get bigger versions of the stock xchng images by clicking on the small one, you must be logged in though. It's much better if you'd upload the larger ones, they are much more reusable. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 23:00, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Definition of the category Seaplanes

Obviously, you did not read the page:category:Seaplanes

It states:" For the purposes of categorization, this includes amphibious planes, float planes and flying boats."

You have added an additional category unnecessarily. Granted, the cat name is confusing. My problem was that a general term would be accurate, but not guessable by naive users. Do you have alternative general names? Note that float helicopters are also not included, as well as water capable jets, since planes are propeller driven.

How about eliminating Seaplanes, your new cat, and calling them all 'Water capable aircraft'?

Sobre el bloqueo de mi cuenta

Si te fijas, verás que esas plantillas se pusieron masivamente y sin crear la correspondiente página de discusión en cada una de ellas. Sólo se creó la que corresponde a Category:Transport. A mi entender, el proceder de esa forma es cuando menos temerario. Hubiera debido ponerse sólo en Transport y aguardar el resultado; no se alcanza a comprender qué sentido tiene el poner plantillas en forma masiva, sin aguardar el resultado de la consulta, y lamento que consideres como inapropiado mi comportamiento. Más bien, creo que debieras revisar la actuación del controlador del bot que las puso.

Por otro lado, es muy sugestivo el motivo que usas para bloquear mi cuenta: "I have blocked you for 2 hours for you to cool off a bit": no has sido capaz de poner "ediciones arbitrarias", "remover plantillas de mantenimiento sin justificación", "vandalismo" ni ningún otro motivo que pueda considerarse comprendido en alguna política, sino que has apelado a un argumento emocional. Esto resulta inaceptable en la comunidad, por lo menos hasta donde yo sé, y ya me dirás tú si estoy equivocado al respecto. Espero una disculpa de tu parte, por haber bloqueado mi cuenta con una especie de burla y por tomar como válido lo que hace un bot sin molestarte en revisar el historial de mis contribuciones, que ha sido especialmente centrado en las categorías. Saludos, --Tano4595 04:04, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Si hubiera puesto un "eliminación de plantillas de mantenimiento sin justificación" en el resumen de bloqueo, eso habría implicado de forma injusta que eras un usuario problemático, eso sería injusto para contigo. Se había empezado una discusión centralizada sobre la plantilla {{Delete}}, el sentido es iniciar una discusión ya que se pretendía un cambio global con la nominación.

Categorisation of cities in Italy

Hi Tano4595.

I noticed that in many countries, the cities are categorised in the country itself, the province and sometimes the regio. The country organisation greatly facilitates the search/browsing of a city as you don't have to know geographical organisation details to find a city. Moreover, provinces and regios don't overlap always precisely, so there overlapping categorisation is unavoidable. I think that it is up to the people that organise their country categorisation to decide how they organise it. Personally, I prefer to respect the organisation preferred by the people that live in that country. --Foroa (talk) 07:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

It looks as if you not only want to empty almost completely the "cities in Italy" category, but remove equally the cities in some regio's such as Emilia-Romagna. This does not sound a good idea as the rationale behind a category system can be different per country, area, province, language group, ethnic group, religion group, historical areas, administrative, election, police and juridical organisation. Personally, I would never venture such drastic country categorisation changes without the agrement of the people that spend so much energy (and probably discussions) to create the system. --Foroa (talk) 08:01, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

From User talk:Foroa

Sorry, I was writing here when you wrote the message in my page. I agree about provinces and regions, but not about the others items. I think the rule of avoid over-categorization is usefull and independent of the persons or the nacionality of the persons. Regards, --Tano4595 (talk) 07:11, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I absolutely disagree, and looking in many countries, I am not the only one. Don't forget that categories are equally used for quick browsing and finding.

It happens very often that I try to categorise in a country (for many pictures, you know only the (beginning of) the city name and the country name) which I don't know (especially in Germany and France), and I have to give up because I don't know the arrondissement, province of region, so I cannot find it.

Whatever position you take on this, this impacts the work of most people organising their country information, so I don't feel I have the right to force them one way of another. So, so far, I will respect the Italian organisation until they decide to change it. --Foroa (talk) 07:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I don´t understand what you are talking about. I'd read Commons:Categories#Over-categorization again and I don't see where are the rules about diferents contries or preferences. And last but not least, ¿what about Commons:Categories#Why is over-categorization a problem? So, if you know that there are many categories having a problem, the best way is solving it. --Tano4595 (talk) 08:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I am not very happy with the wording in Commons:Categories#Over-categorization as it is not clear at all. In fact, what is unclear in the text is that the overcategorisation concerns one single categorisation rule/organisation. I have no time right now, but this evening, I well produce a more detailed explanation how many valid categorisation organisations can co-exist in a country; over-categorisation is not the same as overlapping category organisations. In the mean time, I would invite you to try to find the right category for a picture which has only a town name such as Castillon, Châtel, Beveren, Berchem, Jemeppe, Meuse, Frankfurt, Berchem, fr:Villers, Colleville, Crécy, Cérilly, Naves ...

Anyway, for me, the most important categorisation organisation is the one which is used by all people visiting another country, which is the same used by the postal services: the name of the country and village/city is sufficient to find the place. And this is even more important for people that try to categorise pictures in a foreign country. --Foroa (talk) 08:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I know, my friend, that categories can co-exit (v.g. Category:Province of Reggio Calabria = Category:Provinces of Italy + Category:Provinces of Calabria -> Category:Calabria -> Category:Regions of Italy); this is usefull and don´t break the rules. Is not the same when somebody categorizes in all of them at the same time (Provinces of Calabria + Calabria + Regions of Italy). Such a way makes no sense, in our world, today... if I want to find a city, and I know the city name, I just use a search engine.

In the other way (city name and country name) it will be thousands of pages in each country category, and this is no usefull at all. If I wish to hide somebody, I command him into a multitude :) Regards, --Tano4595 (talk) 12:39, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

As I stated, for us, the most important categorisation scheme is the town/country categorisation as its saves most time in searching and browsing. Even with thousands of items in it (only textual subcats), each item is only one to three clicks away. Don't tell me you can replace this with the search function. Try to find the As, Our, Villers, Saint-Denis town in Belgium. And this will even get worse because I guesstimate that only 10 to 20 % of the towns in Europe are in the category system. So I would certainly suggest to each country to have a country level city and towns category as this has a proven efficiency effect on categorisation. (which is not a luxury if you know that commons has a categorisation backlog of hundreds of thousands of images).

In parallel of this, in Belgium we use a categorisation system that matches plus minus the structure of the legal/administrative hierarchy: Provinces-Municipalities-Towns-Hamlets (with an exception for the Brussels pseudo-province). 35 years ago, the 2600 villages have been artificially regrouped into 589 municipalities, but most people keep adressing the original village so does the postal system). There have been attempts to add overlapping region (Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels) and community (French, German and Flemish) organisation category systems, but so far, we managed to keep out of politically dangerous situations, because we have a simple two way category system. (there are other potential cat systems such as juridical areas, church areas, regions such as Ardennes, Kempen, ...)

Anyway, I feel that if in a country, they feel that they should do their geographical categorisation in a certain way, I will not change that behind against their way of working. The most important is that they feel at home here and that they find their optimal way of working. --Foroa (talk) 18:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

That´s fine, I agree each country has it own legal/administrative hierarchy, but you are pushing me in another way, the way of over-categorization. I feel not undertanding the subject you want to (or the reciprocal, you don't undertand the subject I'm trying). Perhaps you are talking about categorize "Cities of Italy" in "Italy", instead of "Geography of Italy"? --Tano4595 (talk) 21:23, 7 July 2008 (UTC) PS: By the way, "Tano" means "Italian" :)

(Reset indent) Indeed, I am discussing about cities of xxx that should contain what the names says. The more I look at it, the more I see a big mixup. You have the category:Cities by country, category:Cities and villages by country, category:Villages by country and even category:Municipalities by country. What I am talking about is about the first two ones which tend to be overlapping/similar.

My personal primary need is to accelerate my categorisation work. Most of the time, when you have an image pertaining to a location, you have the (essential part of the) village name and the (guessed) country. So, I look in "cities in xxx". This works perfectly for a number of countries, such as Poland, the Netherlands, Russia, Israel, Lithuania, Belgium, Turkey, Serbia ... Basically, their clean "Cities in xxx" category contain what the names says: the list of cities (and villages) of that country.

In France, this is well organised, but you have to know the name of the region or the departement, which is often a problem, especially with often recurring names (such as starting with Castillon, Châtel...). In the municipalities of Germany, it is well organised too, but you need again to know the names of the state, region or district, which is often a problem if you know only the first part of the city name (I.e. Frankfurt/Frankfort). On the other hand, in the cat Cities in Spain and Italy, I am completely lost. So I hardly categorise images in those countries because it is just too time consuming to find things. (In Belgium, we created the categories for most villages upfront so categorisation work is now much quicker too)

In parallel to this "city of xxx" list which should be as flat as possible, we need the traditional hierarchical administrative/geographical cat organisation (subdivisions, regions/provinces, districts/arrondissements, municipalities, towns, hamlets, ...). But don't tell me that, because we have a proper hierarchical/administrative categorisation organisation, that we have to give up our most important flat list: cities in xxx.

In conclusion, what I am saying has nothing to do with overcategorisation but with several category systems in parallel, such as a city that can belong simultaneously to the region, province, district, aggrandisement, cities in xxx ... category organisation. And in that context, the official text in Commons:Categories#Over-categorization is very incomplete as it discusses only the problem in one single categorisation logic to which you refer all the time, but nobody seems to mention the natural "parallel" and overlapping organisation schemes you will find in most mature categorisation systems. --Foroa (talk) 08:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I think I understood what you said, although I disagree about the usefully. The way proposed ("city that can belong simultaneously to the region, province, district, aggrandisement, cities in xxx ...") is a typical over-categorization problem. Parallel and overlapping are different tools. For instance, Category:Dunhuang works in a right way with Category:Cities in Gansu + Category:Cities along the Silk Road ("parallel" categories, OK), but is overlapped with Category:Cities in China and Category:Cities in Asia (over-categorization problem).

Search of categories (and files) is easier when the subject is well know by the editor (where Dunhuang is), but the categorization in overlapped categories is a big problem in the general plan of Commons. Please, note that the problem is not only for cities; each file must be provided with correct categories when somebody upload it, and must be searchable. But the tool is not over-categorization, it's a search engine. If don't, we'll have thousands and thousands of files not only in "Cities" but also in "Physics", "Science", or any other topic. Look, for instance, Category:Plantae... We can´t handle 105,154,943 files showing them in two or three clicks! So, the system is supported in sub-categories. I agree with the official text in Commons:Categories#Over-categorization. Regards, --Tano4595 (talk) 20:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Imágenes sin fuentes e imagen desaparecida

Hola Tano, supongo que eres administrador de Commons. Hay dos imágenes de Alondritz de la ciudad de Cumas en las que no especifica la fuente: una de ellas es ésta: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Cueva_de_la_Sibila_cuma_DSCN3813.JPG. Dicho usuario no ha creado su página personal, ni en Commos ni en Wikipedia en español, y mi nivel de inglés no alcanza para decírselo. Que conste que si fueran borradas, el artículo de Cumas en que incluí esta y otra imagen subidas por él, se quedaría sin imágenes. Prefiero esto a que permanezcan en Commons en el estado actual ¿Puedes avisarle tú? No muestra actividad desde hace casi un año (agosto de 2007), quizás se haya retirado.

Sobre la imagen desaparecida, lo expuse en le Café. Te adjunto el dif., por si puedes averiguar qué sucede. Dicha imagen está rota en el artículo Santuario de los Grandes Dioses de Samotracia, que estuvo en portada como AB el 6 de julio de 2008. Te lo agradecería mucho. Esto es todo. Espero no darte mucho trabajo: Muchas gracias. Un abrazo. Dorieo (talk) 13:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Tano, muchísimas gracias por contestarme tan rápido y por facilitarme la lista de administradores. Recurriré a Alhen, si no me contestan en el Café. Te estoy muy agradecido por tu interés ;). Un abrazo. Dorieo (talk) 13:27, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Muchas gracias Tano. Ya lo han solucionado entra Alhen y Chabacano. Un abrazo. --Dorieo (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Categorie Italia

Mr. Tano, can you stop, please, your destruction of the categories of Italy?! You cancelled a lot of Categories, and so you interrupt the chain to find all the under-categories! Italy has Regions, and this have Provinces, and this Cities (Comuni). This division it's applied to the geography, to the archaeology, to the art, etc. Everywhere you made a lot of damages because you cancelled middle-categories! STOP THIS NOW! Or I will be obliged to call an admin! --DenghiùComm (talk) 14:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

From User talk:DenghiùComm: Mind your manners, please. You are talking about me, and in a wrong way. I don't cancelled not damaged anything, and I don't want to. If you have any specific fact to talk about my editions (perhaps wrong editions?), please, do it in that way. You shouldn't talk in a generic way of "damages" and "destructions". Regards, --Tano4595 (talk) 15:18, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Tano, i can not enough english to explain what I wont; so I try in italian because you speak spanish. I hope that we will understand us.

Io non voglio contestarle tutte le cancellature che lei ha fatto della categoria "Cities of Italy": certamente mi hanno sorpreso, ma non mi importano molto. Forse questa categoria con tutte le città d'Italia potrebbe creare delle over-categorisation, ed allora lei avrebbe ragione. Certo però che non trovo molto corretto il suo modo di procedere: lei cancella come un bulldozer questa categoria a tutte le città, e non si pone nemmeno la domanda che cosa si intende esattamente con la categoria "Cities of Italy": un elenco completo delle città italiane? un elenco solo di quelle più importanti? un elenco di quelle minori? Ecco, forse sarebbe stato più corretto che prima di metterci mano, togliendo questa categoria a centinaia di voci, lei avesse iniziato una discussione con i vari utenti e semmai con chi quella categoria l'aveva creata, per decidere pacificamente tutti quanti insieme che cosa andava veramente fatto. Lo dico così, semplicemente per dirle come dovrebbe procedere con correttezza, visto che in Commons non c'è solo lei a lavorare... Comunque le ripeto, a me personalmente quella categoria "Cities of Italy" non mi interessa. Quindi chiudo qui. Quello che però trovo insopportabile sono le interruzioni che lei ha fatto in numerosissimi punti nella catena delle categorie. Quello che lei ha cancellato come redundant o over-categorization erano invece anelli importanti della catena, che permettevano di trovare rapidamente i soggetti che si cercano. Debbo premettere che l'Italia è suddivisa amministrativamente in Regioni, che sono suddivise in Province, che contengono a loro volta i Comuni, che posseggono delle Frazioni o delle Località minori. Questo schema gerarchico, ad albero, si può ritrovare ad ogni livello di ricerca, sia che si tratti di suddivisioni amministrative, che di monumenti, che di arte, di geografia, o quant'altro. Lei mi ha chiesto di dirle quali sono i punti che io le contesto; veramente ne sono centinaia, ma io ora le farò solo alcuni esempi. Cominciamo proprio dall'Italia: qui [3] lei ha interrotto il collegamento fra l'Italia e le sue suddivisioni regionali, che adesso invece bisogna andarsele a cercare. Sembra che la sua preoccupazione ed interesse primario sia solo quello di ridurre le categorie, e lo fa anche quando non conosce le zone geografiche, creando dei danni seri. Difatti non considera che, oltre alle suddivisioni amministrative vi sono anche quelle geografiche, per cui una categoria può (e deve!) trovarsi anche in diverse sotto-categorie. Questo lo dimostrano i suoi interventi irresponsabili che ha fatto qui [4] dove ha tolto la "Provincia di Napoli" a "Procida": lei lo avrà fatto perchè Procida è già categorizzata in "Campi Flegrei", ma i Campi Flegrei sono un'area vulcanica a nord di Napoli di cui Procida fa parte; ma Procida fa parte anche della Provincia di Napoli (area amministrativa), allora se lei toglie Procida da qui, in Provincia di Napoli risulteranno tutte le città della provincia meno che Procida. Dunque non lo deve fare! Lo stesso errore lo ha fatto qui [5] togliendo la "Provincia di Salerno" al sito archeologico di "Elea-Velia" (è lo stesso discorso: la città antica fa parte del Cilento, che è un'area geografica che è contenuta nell'area amministrativa della Provincia di Salerno: deve esserci in entrambe le categorie!); e qui [6] con Paestum ha fatto un disastro anche maggiore perchè oltre a togliere l'area amministrativa (Provincia di Salerno), ha tolto anche l'area geografica (il Cilento), perchè per lei è sufficiente la Magna Grecia! Ma lasciare solo Magna Graecia non basta, perchè Paestum non esiste solo nella storia ma anche nella geografia e nell'amministrazione! Anche per il "Vallo di Diano" ([7]) lei ha tolto la Provincia di Salerno, quando poi essa è citata addirittura all'inizio della pagina! Allora, visto che questi suoi interventi dimostrano che lei non conosce nè la realtà attuale di questi luoghi, nè queste aree geografiche, nè le loro suddivisioni amministrative, io la invito caldamente a non proseguire in questa opera distruttiva che è un danno per Commons, e non un'opera buona come lei invece crede di fare. Grazie per la sua collaborazione! Tanti saluti e buon lavoro! Le augura --DenghiùComm (talk) 18:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Caro amico, grazie molto! Il vostro messaggio è di molto sussidio me. Correggerò necessario, se non le avete fatte prima. Tanti saluti e buon lavoro! --Tano4595 (talk) 04:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Grazie per la sua risposta. Qualche cosa (molto poco!) l'ho corretta già io. Ma lei dovrebbe ripercorrere tutte le sue cancellazioni per verificare se sono veramente corrette o no. Un grande lavoro che sarebbe giusto se lo facesse lei! Grazie! Saluti --DenghiùComm (talk) 18:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Cities inside other cities?

Gentile signor Tano. Vorrei segnalarle un altro grosso danno che lei ha fatto con delle città in Calabria. Lei ha tolto una serie di città dalla Category:Province of Reggio Calabria per metterle in una nuova categoria da lei creata "Category:Cities in Reggio Calabria" (per esempio qui [8]) che è una vera follia! Reggio Calabria è una città e non esistono altre città che stanno dentro questa città! Esiste poi la Provincia di Reggio Calabria che ha un suo territorio in cui rientrano diverse città minori. Per intanto ho fatto cancellare questa sua nuova categoria come "bad name" e le città sono confluite nella categoria generica delle "Cities in Calabria". Le sarei molto grato se lei individuasse di nuovo tutte le città che aveva tolto dalla categoria della Provincia di Reggio Calabria e ridesse loro questa categorizzazione specifica. Grazie per la sua collaborazione! Saluti --DenghiùComm (talk) 06:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Saludos Tano

¡Hola Tano! ¿como andás? una vez más, mi nick name —al igual que mi equivalente en Wikipedia— es un derroche de imaginación así como de patriotismo jaja... Hace algún tiempo que ando acá en Commons, ya tuve como dos nicks distintos pero por olvidarme de las contraseñas —y lo que es peor, de mis propios nicks, ahí no habían mails de WikiAdmin que me salvaran— me tuve que crear el más obvio y absurdo para no caer en la misma... Te cuento que lo de las categorías lo descubrí hoy, y al subir estas fotitos recién salidas del horno me di cuenta de todo el proceso, ya que por lo general escaneaba cosas de libros como la Gran Enciclopedia del Uruguay o en algún caso fotos de Flickr, pero jamás le había prestado atención a lo de las categorizaciones. De ahora en más lo haré siempre, y si querés hacerme notar algo yo estoy dispuesto a aceptarlo, ya que tanto en la vida como en Commons o Wikipedia estamos para aprender. Algún día de esto edito un poco mi pagina de usuario en Commons ya que literalmente no existe, pero siempre está la discusión por si vos o quien sea desean contactarme. Te agradezco pila tu recibimiento y ayuda, y si puedo ayudarte en algo estoy dispuesto.

Para terminar con una pequeña ironía del destino, el 31 de octubre de 2006, cuando ingresé como usuario a Wikipedia, vos también fuiste el que me recibiste en mi discusión. Estoy un poco al tanto de lo que hiciste allá, y la verdad que es admirable. Bueno, sin más que decir, un abrazo y hasta pronto, coterráneo montevideano.

Re:Vos que tenés súper ojos :)

Hola Tano, todo bien por aquí, espero que tú también. La categoría ponía esto: {{bad name|Category:Cities in Calabria}}
Reggio Calabria is a city! There are not other cities in this city!

Different way, it is necessary to divide all the Cities in Calabria in the different Provinces of Calabria (and there is the Province of Reggio Calabria too!).

But the name of this Category is absolutly wrong and to delete!

fue borrada por User:Rlevse y creada por User:Warburg. Espero que sirva la información, si necesitas algo más dame un silbidito. Saludos. Anna (talk) 08:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

El creador (warburg) la categorizó únicamente con [[Category:Cities in Italy]]
En tu primera edición de esa categoría (el 7 de julio) tú añadiste [[Category:Province of Reggio Calabria]]
Tu siguiente edición un minuto después fue para cambiar [[Category:Cities in Italy]] por [[Category:Cities in Calabria| ]] como pones en el resumen de edición de esa revisión: (Removed category "Cities in Italy"; Quick-adding category "Cities in Calabria" (using HotCat.js))

Las siguientes tres ediciones (15 de julio) son de User:DenghiùComm. La primera donde quitó la barra vertical de cities in Calabria y las otras dos retoques de formato en el texto que puso, eliminando espacios entre líneas. Esa es toda la información que hay en el historial de revisiones.

Considero que si tú cometiste un error fue el de no darte cuenta de que el nombre de la categoría era incorrecto, y colocar una cat redundante, puesto que Category:Province of Reggio Calabria es una subcategoría de Category:Provinces of Calabria y esta a su vez de Category:Calabria, o sea que si alguien cometió un "gran daño" fue el creador, no tú, pelillos a la mar ;). Anna (talk) 19:56, 20 July 2008 (UTC) P.D: Olvida el segundo error, no me había dado cuenta de que provinces y cities son cats paralelas. Algo me estaba chirriando en la cabeza mientras le daba la comida al perro, ¡qué torpe! Anna (talk) 20:25, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

¿Puedo usar esta foto?

Hola. Estoy escribiendo en la :es:Wikipedia la biografía de esta señora, y me preguntaba si puedo usar la imagen de la wiki inglesa (la del vínculo ‘esta señora’ de más arriba). Como verás, la persona que la guardó en :en:Wikipedia la declara licenciada GFDL diciendo Granted under GFDL license in e-mail correspondence with Author, mails archived at permissions AT wikimedia DOT org, pero el caso es que creo que la imagen no está en Commons, o al menos no la encuentro. ¿estaría muy feo que yo la cargara en Commons repitiendo los datos? Perdona la molestia, pero paso por aquí de pascuas a ramos y siempre con dudas. Procuro, eso sí, molestar cada vez a un administrador hispano distinto; te ha tocado :) ¡Muchas gracias! Vivero (talk) 11:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC).

Bueno, al final me he armado de valor, he leído las instrucciones, y he bajado la foto en [[Image:Charsolomon TProskouriakoff.jpg]], explicando de donde he sacado el material. ¿Te importaría mirar si he hecho algo mal? Ya te digo que he trabajado en commons muy pocas veces. Perdona las molestias Vivero (talk) 23:01, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

¡Muchas gracias! Perdona la confusión. Había pensado en principio en incordiar a Anna/Gusgus/cookie, pero al entrar en su página vi tu nombre, y a ella la tenía "repe", de haberle dado la lata en otras ocasiones, así que derivé la agresión a tu persona. Quedo muy agradecido.Vivero (talk) 10:36, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Categorías

Hola Tano4595, ¡gracias por trabajar para no tener categorías redundantes! Sin embargo, en algunos casos - como este - tiene sentido categorizar en dos categorías de quienes una está también parte de la otra. En este caso, los "loops and bights" están usados para hacer nodos. (De hecho, vengo de creer otra categoría porque ya no encontré la "Category: Loops and Bights" en la "Category: Knots". Ahora voy a pedir de suprimir la categoría original) Además, la "Category: Knots" es la categoría más especializada que la "category:ropes", y no parece prudente suprimir algo de la categoría más especializada en el caso de categorías redundantes. Bueno, de todos modos sería amable de no suprimir categorías aunque está claro que de veras están redundantes. Graciás, Ibn Battuta (talk) 19:20, 25 October 2008 (UTC) PS: Perdoname mi español de mala calidad por favor.

Please help replace this outdated license

Hello!

Thank you for donating images to the Wikimedia Commons. You have uploaded some images in the past with the license {{PD}}. While this was a license acceptable in the early days of Wikimedia, since January 2006, this license has been deprecated and since October 2008 no new uploads with this license was allowed.

The license on older images should be replaced with a better and more specific license/permissions and you can help by checking the images and adding {{PD-self}} if you are the author or one of the other templates that you can see in the template on the image page.

Thank you for your help. If you need help feel free to ask at Commons talk:Licensing or contact User:Zscout370.

Thanks for uploading File:Spacetime3b.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too.
