Query about Category:John Cotton's Notebook[edit]

Hey pigsonthewing, why do you keep adding Category:John Cotton's Notebook to Category:New South Wales? It is, I think, fairly clearly a historical document and I don’t think it needs its own second level category from Category:New South Wales. Is there any reason you disagree? - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 19:19, 25 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm unclear why you say I "keep" doing so,; when I reverted your removal of the category once. I see you subsequently moved it from that category to Category:History of New South Wales, which - while not ideal - is far better than your simple removal, given that the work is solely concerned with subjects sketched in New South Wales.

Apologies, no offence was intended by my wording. I do think the New South Wales category is too broad for most images. Thank you for your subsequent better categorisation. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 16:23, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Incidentally, I’m making a major push to get the Category:City of Liverpool, New South Wales photographed. My progress can be tracked via wikishootme. It’s why I stumbled onto the mess that is the New South Wales category. - Chris.sherlock2 (talk) 16:27, 26 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:BT Tower, Birmingham.jpg[edit]

Hi, Pigsonthewing. You reverted my edit to File:BT Tower, Birmingham.jpg in which I removed the text "during routine operations". The source of the image doesn't say anything about the photo being taken during routine operations, so could you please explain why you want that text included? Thanks.

West Midlands Police open-licensed their images at my request; they asked that such wording be included to clarify that officers were not taking pictures for social media or Wikipedia while responding to emergencies.

Most memorable shot 2022 / Wikimania 2023[edit]

Dear member of the Commons Photographers User Group,

I wish you a Happy New Year! As it has been our tradition at the beginning of the new year for a while, we're sharing our most memorable shots of the past year with each other. I invite you to share a picture that is particular meaningful to you and to describe why that's the case. Also, as Wikimania 2023 will be here before we know it (August 16 to 19), please consider adding your thoughts on our planning page, where we gather ideas for how we can make Commons photography more visible than in the years before.

All the best to you, your family, and friends! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 21:01, 2 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
