categories

Hi! What's the point of having two categories: Category:Gulripsh_district and Category:Gulripshi district? Why did you create the latter a year after creating the former? Let's leave the older one. Best regard, Alaexis (talk) 21:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, both are correct names. Checking Google for the Common name give: 281,000 results for Gulripshi and only 19,900 results for Gulripsh. So i believe that the correct naming in Commons shuld be Gulripshi (olso in en.wikipedia). Geagea (talk) 01:21, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, don't you think that there should be one category? Or do you think there's some point in keeping both of them? Alaexis (talk)

Hello Geagea. Regarding the pic from Dowling, yes, these two images appear to be the same. As for File:Vepkhistkaosani zichy.jpg, I suspect vandalism here.--Kober (talk) 04:44, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Flickr review

Hi, Please sort out this image Flickr status. It is a modification (a derivative) of a CC-BY-SA Flickr image uploaded to WikiCommons. MathKnight 14:50, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello MathKnight,

You don't have to add {{flickrreview}} to derivative of file that already passed review. For derivative of commons files you can use derivativeFX. Makes it easier. I took the liberty to change the license. See if it is o.k. with you or modify as you wish. Geagea (talk) 23:58, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. MathKnight 17:24, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Adding a MyUploads Link next to MyContribs - further reading

Hello,

if you could translate the following two strings to your native language (and your near-native language):

• My uploads

Re:Ottoman subdevisions of Caucasus

Hello, Geagea. How are you? Well, Vil is apparently an abbreviation of eyalet. I think these names are European interpretation of the Ottoman subdivisions. "Curst" is probably the corrupted Ottoman "Gurji". Regarding Abkhazia and Mingrelia, it is doubtful that these provinces ever had the status of eyalet, but I still need to consult other sources. --Kober (talk) 06:06, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Version 3.0 license for picasa or panoramio images

The license for images from panoramio or picasa is 'cc by sa 3.0' or 'cc by 3.0'. Only flickr uses Version 2.0 licenses. I made a correction here This is just a note. You don't have to reply to me. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 01:07, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Block?

Excuse me but why did you post a warning on my talk page? It's customary to at least give a reason when you do this. If you don't give a reason I shall remove it. Cheers. Delusion23 (talk) 23:11, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

I see that you have reverted all of the edits I made adding files to this category: Category:Maps needing South Sudan political boundaries. All of the maps I added need updating with the borders of South Sudan which became independent in July. This category was created so that they may be grouped together and updated by those with the ability to do so. This forms part of the Category:Maps needing amended boundaries. I think you overreacted in giving me a level 4 vandalism warning without a stated reason. Unless there is something wrong with this category, I'll revert your reverts tomorrow. Cheers again. Delusion23 (talk) 23:23, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

See your talk page. Geagea (talk) 00:32, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Geagea. I think there has been a misunderstanding here. The Category:Maps needing South Sudan political boundaries is not for countries that have borders with South Sudan. It's for every image that needs updating with the fact that South Sudan and Sudan now have a border. For example, in images 1, 2, 3 and 4 you can see that the image covers the whole of Africa, not just Georgia, Afghanistan or Iran. In these images, Sudan is represented as it was before the independence of South Sudan. It is this which needs updating. Sorry that I didn't explain myself well earlier. The links to the categories didn't show up. I'll revert the reverts now. Cheers :) Delusion23 (talk) 10:01, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

With apologies

I am sincerely sorry if you consider my comments wrong on the RfA or if I have caused offence. However this is not about the infividual but about the lack of respect that seems to be shown to Commons by some wkis. Commons is a standalone project with its own community - while information from home wikis is interesting it is the experience on Commons that is relevant to a Commons RfA and it is the Commons community who are best placed to comment on that. I do hope you as a good member of the Commons community can understand my position. Thanks --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:50, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes I agree, he need experience on Commons. But not the first time of premature RfA her. It's easy to see that. Because of lack in edits her he askes users that know him to vote. Beside experience admis integrity is relevant also. Yes, he uploaded some copyvio files but did not mark them as own. Yes he asked home wiki users to vote but done it publicly and not by mail (which is not forbidden by our ruls). I realy dont think that apologies needed her (not from me anyway). And one more thing. We expect admin to know Common ruls Justifiably but not expect the same from the voters. So asking for lack of respect that seems to be shown to Commons by some wkis is wrong conclusion. I am sure that they are very respect Commons but dont know all our ruls.Geagea (talk) 09:40, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks I appreciate your thoughts. I think I should explain a little more though. I am not talking about lack of respect for our policies - it is up to us to ensure people understand. My concern is the lack of understanding of our community and how we (have to ) work together.

I have over 200 edits on Norwegian wiki. However I doubt "no" wiki would be very happy with me placing an RfA there and asking my friends on Commons to support me. I would not consider treating "no" community in such a way and it bothers me when others treat Commons like that. I do hope you understand and do not think I am too unreasonable. Regards --Herby ^{talk thyme} 10:51, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Commons is not the same as wikipedia. I did not check it but I believe that most of Common users com from home wikipedia elswere. The users in other wikis are potential to be users in Commos, and lots of users in othere wikis consider Commons as assistant wiki and not a standalone project. Therefore, sentence like Commons is a standalone project with its own community - while information from home wikis is interesting it is the experience on Commons that is relevant to a Commons is more helpful. I dont think that user from ka.wiki will vote for me if I decide to be he.wiki admin. or users from he.wiki will vote for me if I decide to be ka.wiki admin.

Let me tell you other concern of my. A wile ago user upload a map with a dispute term on it. users from az.wiki started DR and a lot of users vote for deleting (probebly published in the az.wiki village pump). The file did not deleted of course. In a respond made the maps maker dozens of DR's of file of Azeri people mostly pd-old or pd-ottoman. I did not have enough time in that period but saved few files. It is obvious the az.wiki fill attected. Not enough explanation by admins. Things that is obvious to is not so for others. Anyway, eventually, they grant been suspects in COM:CHECK (her). Owr hospitality was not very welcoming. Users from small wiki came to visit us but stay frustrated. More explanations of our policies needed and the Requests for checkuser was unnecessary especially in this case. Just to remember that there are people behind the signature. Geagea (talk) 03:02, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Sample

Hi Geagea. I can give you a sample for your question. 1 and 2 related with this DR.

P.S. If you don't understand why those edits are problemetic, you can ask Iggydarsa. He understand both Hebrew and Turkish. So he knows this problem. Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 11:07, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the late amswer. First regarding to the issue of Jcb voting. That is not what I ment. The argument file "in use" can be very o.k. in case when the reason to deletion is "out of project scope".

Regarding to this DR. Mistakes can heppend but you always find users and admins that assist you. For example this DR. Admin have checked the Turkish low and find Article 31 (not 27 as you mentioned) more suitable to your case. I can also assist you if you need. Your involvement about the Turkish copyright low is welcome. Geagea (talk) 08:59, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Gia, I don't understand your comment here:

"Well, no harm will be done in it go through DR. Thanks for paying attention." Geagea (talk) 03:56, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

By my reading of the DR, it should be deleted as the author of a 1946 file cannot have been dead for 70 years. That does not match "no harm will be done". Do I misunderstand something? Thanks,      Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 21:21, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Jim. :Sorry for the late answer. I made comment in the DR page. Geagea (talk) 08:23, 7 November 20[11 (UTC)

Mtiuleti.jpg

Gamarjoba, Geagea! I've noticed that the category name for the file Mtiuleti.jpg is not correct. It is not Mtiuleti, it should be Khevi, Trusso valley. It is clear that Mtiuleti.jpg and Towers_in_truso_.jpg were made in the same place. So, what do you think if I replace the category Mtiuleti, by Khevi, Georgia? Thank you. Taamu (talk) 14:43, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

It is not only the category it is also the name. The photographer (I believe that he is Georgia) says Mtiuleti, but evrybody can mistake. I'll made more research abot it befor renaming. Thanks. Geagea (talk) 14:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Great! If you need any additional information, just let me know. Thank you. Taamu (talk) 14:59, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Truso is considered to be part of Khevi. The traditional communities of Mtiuleti are: Tskhavati, Mrevli, Gareshemo, Khada, and, sometimes, Gudamakari.--Kober (talk) 16:53, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

he help needed

Hi Geagea, we have currently 2 deletion requests involving he-users, which are both taking an unpleasant course as the people involved aren't able to find consensus and are in part resorting to ad personam arguments. It is Commons:Deletion requests/File:Beit Alpha 1933.jpg and File:Wikipedians P1070730.JPG. IMHO, it might be easier if :he-active admins try to mediate or help to find the correct solution. I have asked Matanya for the same. --Túrelio (talk) 11:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I'll see what I can do in the second case. I am not sure that I'll be involved in the first case. Thanks for noticing me. Geagea (talk) 02:50, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
