Photos

Dwight, I wanted to thank you for all the photos you've been adding. I wanted to suggest that, as you upload your images to Commons, you might consider making sure the categories you are using are reasonably specific, and feel free to create new categories if it seems appropriate. For example, you had 8 images from around Ypsi Twp, all put in "Category:Townships in the United States". I've gone ahead and created a category for Ypsi Twp, made it a subcategory of new category Townships in Michigan, making the latter a subcategory of Townships in the United States. In addition to making things tidier on Commons, that lets us use {{Commonscat}} (see [1]) to link to that category. Thanks for the great photos, and please let me know if you have any questions! cmadler (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Creating categories is easy. It works the same on Commons and on Wikipedia, and it's basically the same as creating a new article. Really the hardest part is the first step, which is deciding whether you need a new category and if so, what it should be called. Take the case of the Ypsi Twp photos on Commons. There were enough photos (and the potential for many more) that I decided it made sense to make a category. I thought about calling it "Category:Ypsilanti Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan", which I think is how the Superior Twp category is named. But I'm fairly confident that there's only just the one Ypsilanti Township, so I decided to call it "Category:Ypsilanti Township, Michigan". Then put the first image into the category, by typing [[Category:Ypsilanti Township, Michigan]]. This will work if it's anywhere on the page, but customarily it goes at the very bottom of everything. After you save that edit, if the category doesn't yet exist you will get a red link. (If you don't get a red link, it means that category already exists -- make sure it's really want you want and not something else that shares the same name.) Click on the red link and, just as with a Wikipedia article, you will invited to create the page, which in this case is a category. For categories, just put a very brief description on it so anyone looking at it knows what it is (I usually just take the intro to the Wikipedia article on that topic) and then put it into at least one higher-level category. Sometimes you have to create a category structure as you go, as I did (rather than putting my new Category:Ypsilanti Township, Michigan right into Category:Townships in the United States, I put it into Category:Townships in Michigan, which was then also a red link and I had to in turn create that within the US category). I hope that was clear; it really is a simple process, and sometimes the simplest processes can be the hardest to explain. For more information on categories (probably more than you will ever want to know), you could consult Wikipedia:Categorization, Help:Category, and Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization. I'm sure similar pages exist on Commons too, but again, the process is exactly the same. Let me know if that doesn't make sense or if part of what I wrote is unclear. Thanks, cmadler (talk) 19:54, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brighton Airport article

Thanks for contributing the Brighton Airport article. In response to your question on my personal page, WikiProject Aviation uses 6 criteria for assessment of aviation related articles. My assessment of your article is based on those criteria. I agree with you that criteria number 5 is met; the remaining ones, however, are not. If I can assist in explaining the rating criteria further, please contact me on my talk page. Cheers - Canglesea (talk) 06:42, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Altarum Logo

Hello. I'm sorry if I caused you any offence by replacing the JPG file with a PNG. Over the last couple of days I've been working through the backlog of JPG files tagged for replacing with PNG files. I looked through the Gallery of new files and saw the Altarum Institute logo and decided to re-upload it as a PNG. I meant no disrespect towards you. Hugahoody (talk) 17:45, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no intention of plagarising any work of any other user, I am just seeking to work through the backlog of files that have been tagged to be replaced by PNG files. Since you had uploaded a JPG format image I could not upload a PNG version over it, the file had to be separate. It was also created directly from the subject's website using an edited screenshot. I'm sorry if this has caused you any offence. Hugahoody (talk) 20:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Move of Harbor Freight Tools picture

The article is a business stub, and moving the picture to a more appropriate section of the page formats the article in a manner that is similar to other business stub pages i.e.:Walmart or General_Electric or Microsoft. The picture at the top of the page also shifts the entire top portion over to the right without word wrapping on larger monitors, forcing the contents box to float in the middle of the screen appearing awkward and out of place. The consistency of the formatting of the article is more important than the location of the picture

New articles

Most projects have bots which pick up likely new articles. The aviation one is at:-

Brighton Airport

You wrote that you had assessed your own article as start class. Don't get annoyed if an editor doesn't give your articles the rating you think they deserve, everything is fluid in Wikipedia, not set in stone. Having said that, I would rate the Brighton airport article as a stub too, as there is just not enough content to justify it as start clas. Now, as you improve and add to the article it can be re-assessed, you can even ask directly for an article to be reviewed by peers who will give constructive criticism to the author rather than just editting the article.

Just add this to the main project banner on the talk page:- |peer-review=y

Many editors/authors starting on Wikipedia fell that they are being picked on. Do not despair, it is just the nature of the beast that editors will wade in and edit artivcles without the original authors permission, as they are entitled to do. If you don't like what was done converse with the editor on his talk page, but don't expect an instant answer, it may be days or weeks before the editor logs on again.

You also mentioned on my user page, (should have been on my talk page), that I had opened talk pages for some of your articles but I cannot for the life of me remember which/ Do you want me to have a look at the article sfor you, as an informal peer review? if you do just post a link on my User talk page.Petebutt (talk) 13:55, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
