Category:Llanfihangel-y-pennant[edit]
FYI This was confusing, with images ending up in the wrong category, so I've now fully split it into Category:Llanfihangel-y-pennant, Dolbenmaen and Category:Llanfihangel-y-Pennant, Abergynolwyn. Cheers. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:51, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
- Great! I found several when sorting through Category:Llanfihangel-y-Pennant, Abergynolwyn that should have been in Category:Llanfihangel-y-pennant, Dolbenmaen instead. Sionk (talk) 21:21, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Autopatrol given[edit]
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically sighted. This will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to help users watching Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones. Thank you. -- ~riley (talk) 23:29, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
St Asaph[edit]
Hi Sionk! Thanks for adding the new category and moving files over. I am currently transferring a bunch of files and I don't know how many years of car show mentioned in the bunch. I already have a script standing by to move the files after I am finished and know for sure if there's a 2013, 2014,... car show as well. Anyway, your help is much appreciated!

- To be honest, I created the Category:St Asaph Car Show then realised there was also a St Asaph Classic Car and Motorcycle Show. I'm not sure whether they are run by the same people, but one appears to take place in the Autumn and the other at Easter. I've only categorised the files of the event(s) at the end of August/early September. IMO it will help greatly to move these dozens of car photos to their own category, so that the actual photos of the city can be easily seen. Sionk (talk) 22:19, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
- You are 100% correct. I'll do some research about the names of the shows as soon as I am finished with the rest of my uploads. BTW: It doesn't really matter if there are two a year or not. As long as they don't flood the main category, all is good. Well, kinda good. Long story short: I'll be cleaning that up pretty soon. --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 23:05, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
Categorising[edit]
I don't believe I'm overcategorising. An individual ship can be linked with several countries. For example, a ship may have been built in South Korea (Category:Ships by country of manufacture / Category:Ships built in South Korea), be registered and therefore fly the flag of Panama (Category:Ships by country / Category:Ships of Panama) and then be photographed in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Category:Ships by country of location / Category:Ships in Rotterdam) All of the categories I've just linked have existed for some time; I've recently only been creating some more specific categories focusing on certain types of ship (eg Category:Tankers in France). I don't see that as overcategorisation, given the very large number of ship images now on Commons. However, I acknowledge that some explanation at the top of categories is appropriate, and in the near future, I will add some explanations. Bahnfrend (talk) 04:54, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
Thanks[edit]
Thank you for restoring my faith in this place, I was just about ready to close it (assuming you'd gone with keep and was rather surprised you didn't) so thanks for that :), –Davey2010Talk 23:04, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Ward maps[edit]
Hi,
Is there any reason you are using JPG for files like File:Electoral wards in Holyhead.jpg? PNG is a much more appropriate format for that sort of content.
In the ideal world SVG would be used, but that requires more complex image editing. That said it should be easy to create ones like File:Isle of Anglesey UK wards - Caergybi locator.png, as its derived from one of my SVG maps.--Nilfanion (talk) 17:46, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll save them as PNG in future. Just a habit of mine to save images as JPG, but I take your point. Sionk (talk) 10:25, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
