Fæ is taking a short break and will be back at Commons soon.
"It am de stuff" - showing how times change.
20 November 2014 Due to family matters, I'm going to be mostly on a wikibreak until mid December. I will be continuing to run my upload projects, but if you have something to raise it may be better done after this time out.Fæ (talk)
Burkina Faso Pictures of Latrines and Sanitation in Burkina Faso[edit]
Hi Fæ! I saw that you recently uploaded a lot of images related to EU sanitation projects in burkina faso. I've spent a bunch of time trying to add them to existing category "Sanitation in Burkina Faso" but it's taking a while. would you mind lending me a hand and just removing all of the other tags for the images? If you would like, you could even add the relevant tags like "Sanitation in Ouagadougou" or "Latrines in Ouagadougou". Thanks again,Monopoly31121993 (talk) 11:04, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
@Monopoly31121993: Hi, I'm away from my desktop but I could do some simple sorting while on the move. I am not completely sure what you are looking for. I could go through the top parent category of 10,000 images and find all that mention 'Burkina Faso' and then add them to Sanitation in Burkina Faso. Would that do? Looking at the sub category itself, the couple I clicked on look reasonably categorized already. --Fæ (talk) 15:39, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for adjusting the Viele file (last topic).
This file also doesn't belong with the ID, NYPL 1515717.
Thanks for your help!. Vzeebjtf (talk) 20:42, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
When I looked at the last case, I did notice the file I was uploading as a replacement also exists on Commons under the wrong filename. I'm unsure what the cause was, possible lags in file uploads may have caused some sort of interative issue. If you find more cases, please list them here. My volunteer time is limited over the next couple of weeks, and I have a number of things put on my backlog already, so I would rather let some cases build up and then schodule time to investigate this properly, rather than fix odd cases. Thanks for raising this for attention. --Fæ (talk) 21:06, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
Talk page watchers may be interested in reading Commons:Administrators/Requests/Fæ(5). The outcome sets the foundation for my New Year contributions to Commons. Fæ (talk) 09:11, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
Fae, given that both MichaelMaggs and The Land have seen fit to publicly comment on you at your RFA, you can consider my request to adhere from commenting on WMUK, etc null and void. It's been said that it was you who would struggle to avoid making comments and that there was no way you would make it to December 2015. I never thought for one moment (well actually I did) that Maggs and Keating wouldn't even be able to see 2014 out without talking the usual nonsense about you.
You'll see that that Keating is now getting a bit shirty because I'm making an issue of his mismanagement as trustee at WMUK being hugely responsible for the dire shit that WMUK now finds itself in.
Regardless of the outcome of the RFA, I do hope (and know) that you will continue to contribute here. Don't pay much attention to the trolling blow-ins (Spartaz, etc) either. russavia (talk) 14:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
It would be interesting if someone were to find out exactly how people who edit this project so incredibly rarely, such as Spartaz, have found my RFA so readily. It's a genuine mystery to me, is there a Facebook group where people are coordinating their engagement with Commons? If so, I probably ought to join it. --Fæ (talk) 15:07, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Seriously, who cares how they find out about such things. There's solutions to prevent blow in trolls, such as Spartaz, from disrupting this project. The edit count thing I mentioned on IRC is something that would be easy to implement and monitor.
As to joining any groups, let me tell you how I look at things. If I were in a room full of people who I would want to stab in the throat with a fork (meaning that I have no respect for them and they simply should just shut up and keep their narrow-minded views and outlooks to themselves), I certainly wouldn't be joining any online group made up of the same people. Just keep doing what you are on Commons. russavia (talk) 20:50, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Left a comment at AN. Any HABS image is reliably PD, it may be more useful to add these to a backlog category than template them, or filter a SQL generated list and email to me. Fæ (talk) 00:49, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
I have posted a list of the ones containing the letter combination "HABS" at [1]. Try to fix them once you have time. --Stefan4 (talk) 14:37, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
