Thanks for uploading File:Galjoen 4, crop.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category
[edit]When 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:Flora of Category:Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). I happen to have stumbled on this 7 weeks later; if it had been tagged correctly, it would have been deleted in a few days. - Jmabel ! talk 20:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Exactly what I need, thanks! I blanked a few mistakes, assuming they would be easy to find. JMK (talk) 07:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- BTW, it doesn't work if you include the "tlx|"-part, just {{SD|C2}}, not {{tlx|SD|C2}}, (I was looking at Category:Fish of Western Cape)
∞∞ Enhancing999 (talk) 12:55, 2 September 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for assisting again! At one point I thought I had it wrong, so changed the format to the tlx version with "delete" in the edit summary. There may be one or two others, but I don't find them now. JMK (talk) 14:25, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Collapsed trees has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you! |

You added Category:Otus scops to this file. What reason do you have to believe that the bird depicted is an Otus scops? According to Wikipedia, they don't live in South Africa. Un assiolo (talk) 12:46, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for spotting that mistake. It is obviously Otus senegalensis which is the only species of Otus in southern Africa. I corrected it now. JMK (talk) 19:18, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
White-crowned shrike (Eurocephalus anguitimens niveus) Kruger.jpg
[edit]You added Category:Birds of Biyamiti to my file in error. Please do not make unwarranted assumptions about location. You also added the category to three of my starling photos. Please remove the category from them. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- For the Kruger Park I have assigned location categories according to the nearest camp, and Biyamiti (besides the river by that name), appears to be the nearest based on the supplied coordinate. I agree that this way of categorization is not precise, and is not ideal if you want to be precise. It does, inter alia, facilitate the sorting of the photos into the relevant province of South Africa, Mpumalanga or Limpopo in this case, and gives a general idea of location. If filed under Biyamiti it implies that the location is in Mpumalanga, and south of the Sabie River, and inside the Kruger Park for instance. It assists in reducing overpopulated categories. There are no districts to subdivide this national park which is the size of Switzerland (other than Ehlanzeni and Mopani), otherwise I would have used them. To keep categories manageable I have used the nearest camp so far. I value your contributions to the wikimedia project very highly. If you don't enjoy me working on your photos, I could pass them by. JMK (talk) 20:52, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- Will keep categorization of your photos to broad categories then, which are entirely accurate. The supplied coordinates, though rounded to the nearest minute, should allow me to do that. Did remove the category from one file, will look out for the other two. JMK (talk) 06:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
