Air Corsica fleet
editHi Abxbay - While I appreciate all the hard work you have put into this, I have to advise that it should only contain pictures of Air Corsica aircraft. You have included pics of CCM Airlines and Spring Airlines aircraft, ie aircraft not actually operated by Air Corsica. Thus the page is inaccurate and would be disappointing for those looking for the Air Corsica fleet. Grateful if you could correct Ardfern (talk) 11:55, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

We need your feedback!
editHello. Apologies if this message is not in your native language: please feel free to respond in the language of your choice. Thank you!
I am writing to you because we are looking for feedback for a new Wikimedia Foundation project, Structured Data Across Wikimedia (SDAW). SDAW is a grant-funded programme that will explore ways to structure content on wikitext pages in a way that will be machine-recognizable and -relatable, in order to make reading, editing, and searching easier and more accessible across projects and on the Internet. We are now focusing on designing and building image suggestion features for experienced users.
We have some questions to ask you about your experience with uploading images here on Wikimedia Commons and then adding them to Wikipedia. You can answer these questions on a specific feedback page on Mediawiki, where we will gather feedback. As I said, these questions are in English, but your answers do not need to be in English! You can also answer in your own language, if you feel more comfortable.
Once the collecting of feedback will be over, we will sum it up and share with you a summary, along with updated mocks that will incorporate your inputs.
Also, if you want to keep in touch with us or you want to know more about the project, you can subscribe to our newsletter.
Hope to hear from you soon! -- Sannita (WMF) (talk to me!) 09:56, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Files renamed
editHi, I've undone the renaming of two pictures I've uploaded (1; 2), because the lack of a valid reason (they does not follow any of the six cases for renaming a file). I understand your intentions were good, but informations belong to the file description, is not necessary to put it in the title of the files, which are already descriptive enough in my opinion. I restored the original names because all my uploads follow the same name scheme, that along with personal categories help me to quickly find if I already uploaded a particular picture and to not upload the same picture twice. Notice that for one of the pictures I've already undone a renaming from you the past year. Feel free to edit and add content to the files descriptions, of course. Thank you. :-) --Phyrexian ɸ 19:34, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Category:Dury (surname) and french communes names
editHi,
What is the link between the surname "Dury" and the french communes names : "Dury" and "Ury" ? is there a proven toponymic link between the surname and these place names? --Poudou99 (talk) 18:43, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Dury, Durys, Duriz, Durie, Deri, Derie, Dery, Derys. Naam uit de Waalse plaatsnaam ri: beek. 2. Naam uit de plaatsnaam Dury (Seine-et-Marne, Pas-de-Calais,Somme). 3. Of uit de plaatsnaam Ury (Seine-et-Marne).

- No attested in WP-fr for : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ury#Toponymie
- It would be necessary to introduce this toponymic information in the WP-fr articles before establishing these links in Commons. --Poudou99 (talk) 18:59, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Kater (surname) has nothing to do with Catering
editHi, I removed the links between Kater (surname) and catering as they have nothing to do with each other. Linguistic relationships between words are not a reason to link categories. -- Deadstar (msg) 09:42, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
Capitalization
editPlease, when adding categories to images (or as parent categories) capitalize the first letter of the category name. While not technically required, there are several tools that often glitch if we don't do this. - Jmabel ! talk 14:49, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi, the Category:Surnames is a "flat-list" category (at level 0), which includes all surnames regardless of tree structure, as is declared in the top message "This category gathers all sub-categories related to its parent category in a non-hierarchical list, including those that would normally only be found via intermediate sub-categories.". It has about 120.000 members total.
I noticed that you are removing some surnames from it when you edit them and not including the hundreds of the new surnames you are creating. As I do many automatic edits with "batch" tools, it is possible that I put them in "Category:Surnames" with no intention to correct your editions--JotaCartas (talk) 01:34, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Deleting categories
editPlease, when you want a category speedy-deleted, use {{SD}} instead of just blanking it. Saves a lot of admin time (gets it into an appropriate maintenance category rather than waiting till we stumble across it, and means we don't have to look at a bunch of history to work out what is going on). The most likely cases are {{SD|C1}} for bad names (which certainly should not be recreated) or {{SD|C2}} for empty categories to be deleted without prejudice against later re-creation. The C1 and C2 come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. - Jmabel ! talk 06:37, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Much to my own surprise, {{Sd}} doesn't work; has to be {{SD}} because {{Sd}} is "Sindhi language". Also {{SD|1=empty}} doesn't actually give as clear a message as {{SD|C2}}; try them out on a sandbox page & you'll see. But thank you for trying to do things right, genuinely appreciated. - Jmabel ! talk 23:58, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Again, {{sd}} doesn't work, has to be {{SD}}. - Jmabel ! talk 02:32, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Please, it would really help if you would use {{SD|C2}}. Right now we are cleaning up parentless categories, so we are finding these, but we'll probably be done with that in a few more weeks, and then categories that are left blank might sit for months. - Jmabel ! talk 22:15, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Please use correct template for speedy deletions

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category
editWhen you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Strachey (given name). ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

- On a more general note, I see you have been creating such categories en masse for several different languages. I cannot judge about other languages, but where Greek is concerned, you obviously are guessing at what a name is, so please stop. Your categories contain a host of duplicates and false positives.

Clé pour les rues
editBonsoir. Vous êtes en train de modifier les clés de tri des rues de Lausanne, en se basant sur le nom de famille (quand c'est pertinent), exemple. Cependant, la pratique semble être partout de prendre pour clé le premier mot significatif.
