names of institutions

[edit]

Please do not move categories of with legitimate national names to their english language equivalents. In lots of cases that actually causes more confusion than not. Hjart (talk) 15:43, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be the common practice both here and on Wikipedia, though, so it's best to be consistent to avoid confusion. FunkMonk (talk) 14:34, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At least in the nordic countries it's actually common practice to use native names. Look at all our churches (for instance in Category:Churches in Herning Kommune). Using native names makes it so much easier for inexperienced native users to get things right and the Wikis in several neighbouring countries often straight out uses Danish names for Danish places etc. anyway. Hjart (talk) 16:01, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, they do use the English name in their English online material:[1] FunkMonk (talk) 15:07, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's in their English language version. In Commons we prefer using the native name. I'm well aware that in many other countries it's common practice to use some English language version. That's their loss though.
I categorize a lot of newbie uploads and follow quite a few less technical minded contributors, so I think I have a fairly good idea what difficulties they are facing.
I think that to the average contributor categorizing i.e. churches in Poland has got to be hell. Hjart (talk) 19:32, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted portrait of Imam Ali

[edit]

@FunkMonk Since you contributed to articles related to Shi'ism, you might be familiar with these kinds of portraits. I was curious about your thoughts about my arguments, if you have time. (Recap: My overall claim is that the difference between those conventional Ali portraits are below the threshold of originality, so the claimed "original" is not copyrightable. And we already have a CC license from the painter of the portrait, so that work should stay in Commons.) TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 22:39, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
