Genre

Sorry, but IMO all genre items have the same level. See Revision of 725934859. It is not necessary to have black-and-white preferred. Thank you. --XRay 💬 19:23, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorta unsure why genres can even be marked as prominent now that i think about it Trade (talk) 19:24, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

I feel the same way. Formally it is possible, but it only makes sense for the depict statements. --XRay 💬 19:26, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Does File:" Winter" on the Frydd (1294994).jpg look correct to you? @XRay: --Trade (talk) 21:38, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

It's nice of you to ask. In my opinion, color (P462) does not belong in the list of structured data. The image is not black and white, it is taken in grayscale. (Even though the genre is called black-and-white photography.) "Winter" is a season that you can't see in the picture, but you can see snow. It's not in the depict statements, though. You can't actually see the meadow either. I honestly don't know what "Frydd" means, but you can't conclude that from the categories either. In the statements, the negative film with the glass plate would still be worth mentioning. The statements do not reflect the time, the photographer of the featured photo, or the originator of the scan or print. The source is also missing. There are quite a few discussions about the statements and new ones are added all the time. Others are virtually on a taboo list. As a side note, I do not set my SDC statements manually. My bot does that, but only for my images. I pull information from the filename, categories, descriptions, Q-items (Wikidata), parent category categories, and manually and automatically created configuration files. So all my images always have something from it and not the few that could be maintained manually. I use the automatism since I uploaded about more than 100 images. --XRay 💬 06:17, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I noticed that the statements location and country can be set to unknown. Is this something that should be avoided? @XRay: --Trade (talk) 02:01, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure about that. I wouldn't bet it, but that doesn't mean anything. There are also categories with "unknown" in subareas, also "unknown location". May be you'll ask here. --XRay 💬 05:27, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

AC/DC usage

When adding instance of, use the more specific digital photograph instead of photograph (unless the original photo was taken on film). Senator2029 20:06, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

I think i'm better of just not using P31 for photographs. Trade (talk) 20:08, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Unused personal photos

Hi. I have closed a few of your DR's - in future you can take them as speedy F10 Gbawden (talk) 10:13, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

I hope it's okay if i continue making DR's for personal images that are in use. Trade (talk) 20:48, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Sorry

No Trade, it's I that have to apologise to you about the tone in which I replied to you. Some time ago, I was having disagreements with another admin and the issue became - to say the least - complex. Therefore, I sincerely apologise about what I wrote you were certainly in good faith when notifying me of the missing attribution.

Kind regards,
Giacomo Alessandroni ^{What's up!} 18:01, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Re: Questions at Deletion request

At this DR you asked why I tagged the file with COM:CSD G5 – this was due to that particular revision being both vandalism, and a copyright violation. Thus, it qualified for speedy deletion. Please see the CSD page for more information.

A vandal uploaded a new, malicious version of a file, and multiple users where reverting these changes. That is why you saw many revisions. Those revisions have been deleted from view now. Happy trails! --dsprc ^(talk) 23:38, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Backrooms subcategories

Letting you know that I've raised these categories, some of which you created, for discussion at Commons:Categories_for_discussion/2023/02/Category:The_Backrooms. Belbury (talk) 12:07, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Nude women

Hi, kindly please undo this batch. I tried to undo it via the EditGroups interface, but it keep timing out on me. bdijkstra (overleg) 17:49, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

As far as i can tell the images in the batch does feature women who are naked. May i ask why you wish to revert it first? Trade (talk) 21:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

The images are not the problem. The problem is that d:Q19960403 is not what you thought it was. bdijkstra (overleg) 23:10, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Better now? Trade (talk) 23:14, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, thanks. I hope you'll more thoroughly check your items before future batch jobs. bdijkstra (overleg) 14:39, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Is there anyway to see if there are more images using d:Q19960403? Trade (talk) 08:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes, via the Query Service. bdijkstra (overleg) 09:26, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
