Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Eyarth requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Your strategy ... is wrong, I'm afraid
I see that you are following the strategy of taking an article on X, and marking Commons Category:X on all the images that were in the article. This might sometimes help, but it fails badly when an article has various tangential aspects which are illustrated. The logic Y is-aspect-of X and I illustrates Y therefore I belongs to category X is WRONG. For the second time today, please STOP doing this - it is causing a lot of work to UNDO your random guesses!

 * I'm not doing psychology, I'm saying that I've had to do the practical thing of undoing a whole lot of your edits as they were wrong. It looked as if you were making those edits by following the strategy I've outlined above, which would give exactly the observed results. Whatever the reason for your edits of the kind described, I'd be extremely grateful if you stopped. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:30, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

Use of an image doesn't necessarily imply categorisation
Allforrous, it's plain we don't see eye to eye on some issues; that's fine, there's room for many points of view here.

However, on one specific matter it'd be worth trying to agree. When an image is used in an article, it can be for many reasons.


 * 1) A portrait of John Doe in his article certainly does imply, as it's clear both of us believe, that a potential Category:John Doe would make sense, and might (if there are enough files to put there) be worth creating. I happen to think that number should certainly be larger than 3 before one sets up all that apparatus, but at least I can grant that the category is not utterly illogical.


 * 2) John Doe visits a city, or reads a book, or speaks to an institution, or ... whatever, and the article's editor sees fit to include an image of that city, book, institution or whatever. However, Doe visited many cities, read many books ... the presence of the image is no evidence at all that the Category:John Doe is appropriate for the image of the city, book, etc. It simply doesn't follow.


 * 3) John Doe practices only Ruritanian Yoga which consists entirely of standing on his head in full ceremonial robes, chanting in Sanskrit, accompanied only by men aged over 50 similarly dressed. He writes often about the wickedness of yoga poses practiced by young women wearing skimpy clothing. The article's editor selects at random a photo of a young blonde woman doing a standing yoga pose in skimpy shorts and crop top to support the point, citing a scholar who describes John Doe's opinion. The presence of that particular yoga pose, that particular young woman, and that particular skimpy dress all have precisely nothing to do with the category:John Doe. It is an error to connect the example chosen (it had to be just one) as any of many examples would have done as well: a red-haired woman in a green bikini doing a sitting pose would have been just as valid an example, and in neither case should the image be categorised as anything to do with John Doe.

I do hope this is clear: it isn't safe to assume that the presence of an image in a Wikipedia article, even if well-chosen, apposite, and supported by reliable evidence, is still not proof that a category is required for that image. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:20, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Yoga categories on Commons
Hi, just a note to say I saw your comment, the first thing I've ever heard you say in reply to anything actually, so thank you. I do not however really think it appropriate to discuss Commons matters here on Wikipedia, they are separate Wikis. Further, you have read my comments over there. I'll just say that the matter is quite serious - harm is being done to the structure, and to be honest I wish you'd stop. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello. You must enter the category to discuss, and raise the changes to the entire community. Wikipedia is my only reference. --Allforrous (talk) 15:09, 27 July 2021 (UTC)


 * You're causing multiple discussions over two wikis; and editing on a Commons Category Talk page is tantamount to guaranteeing no reply, basically. OK, I'll not reply here again; please don't touch my talk page either on Wikipedia or on Commons, I've seen your remarks, repeatedly. Thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:54, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Feedback on Vector (2022) conversation
Hello! As a member of WikiProject Usability, I wanted to draw your attention to a conversation currently underway on WP:VPR (see the beginning of the discussion) around adopting Vector 2022 as the new default skin.

The Web team at the Wikimedia Foundation has been working on Vector 2022 for the past three years, collaborating with the English Wikipedia community as well as other wikis to ensure that the skin performs better qualitatively and quantitatively for readers and communities than the previous Vector skin. The goal of the new skin is to create a more welcoming and easier to use experience for readers and editors across the wiki. For more details, see our new FAQ.

For the past couple of months, we have collected thoughts from the English Wikipedia community on what changes need to be made to the skin prior to it being considered ready for deployment. Our next step would be to start an RfC to assess whether the community considers Vedtor 2022 ready.

Prior to the beginning of the RfC, we wanted to draw your attention to the current conversation and encourage your feedback on the skin.
