Wikimania 2024?

[edit]

Hi Andy ... I'm a WMF engineer, been working (mostly) on commons or commons-adjacent stuff for the last good few years, going to wikimania this year and was hoping I might get the chance to chat to some community members in person - for example you. Are you planning on going? CParle (WMF) (talk) 14:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CParle (WMF): Sadly not this year. Happy to chat by email or Zoom, some time. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah that's a pity - I'm going on my holidays for a fortnight after wikimania (to England, though not to Birmingham), I'll give you a shout when I get back and we'll set something up CParle (WMF) (talk) 19:08, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For categorized files on 2024-05-08

[edit]

According to your contributions, you added the "Category:Women wearing bikinis" category to many files on May 8th, 2024. However, I noticed the over-categorization problem when I categorized files in this category. Please look at these:

It is not necessary to add a parent category to files that have been precisely categorized. Please read COM:OVERCAT to understand how the category system works. Thank you.--125.230.86.175 12:34, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nursery schools in the United Kingdom

[edit]

In the UK nursery schools and Child day care centres are pretty much the same thing. These days they are both usually called nurseries - though that is really rather too ambiguous to be used as a category. Would you like to join in the discussion at [1]?

Removed photos from category.

[edit]

Hello. I saw that you removed photos from the "Veliki Modrasovec" category. Can you tell me why? Veliki Modrasovec is a hill and this tree is on that hill. I just want to understand. Thank you. Photos are this: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Javor_pod_velikim_Modrasovcem Bojan Marušič (talk) 12:44, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BojanM79: Because they are all in a sub-category of that category, Category:Javor pod velikim Modrasovcem. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:51, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Now I finally understand. Bojan Marušič (talk) 14:49, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
