Descriptions and categories

edit

Hi Ethan,

I notice you've uploaded a large number of files with no categories. Some, like this file, also have descriptions that are not useful for our users. Please make sure to add useful descriptions and categories for all images you upload. (For categories, only use the most specific categories available - for example, for this file, you should add Category:Hynes Convention Center station, rather than Category:Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority or Category:MBTA Green Line.) Please do not upload any more files until you have added these categories and descriptions for the files you have already uploaded. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Let me know if you have any specific suggestions as I go through and add them - I saw Franklin Street Footbridge. I had thought Flickr2Commons would carry over at least the tags as categories but I had that wrong. Ethanmlong (talk) 19:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

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:American Eagle Airlines aircraft at Tweed New Haven Regional Airport. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Jmabel ! talk 03:40, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

How would I go about marking it? Just creating a new Talk entry? It was a category that already existed, I had mistakenly capitalised 'Airlines'. I'm trying to learn! Ethanmlong (talk) 14:59, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
You just put the mark on the file page rather than leaving it blank. - Jmabel ! talk 18:01, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

This was a public canvas during the final days of a business, which has been closed for 12 years. Ethanmlong (talk) 13:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
