Katana

Hello, please do not remove "category:weapons of Japan" from "category:katana" Tanto and wakizashi are in "Category:weapons of Japan" and katana should be in that category as well, thank yousamuraiantiqueworld.com (talk) 14:49, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Have you eve heard of the term subcategory, or category tree???. Katana is a subcategory of Nihonto which is a subcategory of "Category:Swords of Japan" and that is one of the 38 subcategories of Category:Weapons of Japan; you understand???. --MainFrame (talk) 14:54, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

I added the "Template:Category tree all" to the relevant categories, maybe now you'll understand. Greetings. --MainFrame (talk) 14:59, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Small Botting issue

I presume this edit was done by bot. Just as a heads up as it removed the text "Dell PowerEdge" from the description of the image. I've rectified this case, but I presume there might be others. --ShakataGaNai ^{^_^} 01:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

No this wasn't done by bot, just a little "copy and paste editing mistake" done by myself. Instead of pressing "Ctrl+C" I must have pressed "Ctrl+X" and hereby removed the text from the description to the [[Category:......]].... so, thanks for the hint. Wasn't my intention to delete a part of the description. I've cheked the other files in the "Category:Dell PowerEdge" and it looks like this only happend in this single case. Greetings.--MainFrame (talk) 23:24, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Patroller!

---

Counter Vandalism Unit

Hi MainFrame,

You now have the Patroller right and may call yourself a patroller! Please take a moment to read the updated Commons:Patrol to learn how Patrolling works and how we use it to fight vandalism.

As you know already, the patrolling functionality is enabled for all edits, not just for new-page creations. This enables us to keep track of, for example, edits made by anonymous users here on Commons.

We could use your help at the Counter Vandalism Unit. For example by patrolling an Anonymous-edits checklist and checking a day-part.

If you have any questions please leave a message on the CVU talkpage or ask for help on IRC in #wikimedia-commons. Sreejith K (talk) 14:54, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Wenn ein Kriegsschiff in Asien auf einmal unterhalb der Kategorie:Wetzlar auftaucht, und das nur deswegen, weil es mit einer bestimmten Kamera aufgenommen wurde, dann stimmt was nicht. Kannst Du Deine Edits bitte selber rückgängig machen? Vielen Dank und freundliche Grüße, --Emha (talk) 10:45, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Mac Mini

Hi, I just wanted to note that there were Intel-based Mac Minis before the unibody version came out. Category:Mac mini is divided up into just G4 and unibody Minis but that's not accurate. If you check w:Mac Mini you see how the order went from G4, to Intel-based, to unibody. I had a 2009 model with a Core 2 Duo. Fletcher6 (talk) 02:42, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for the hint and for creating the subcat for the INtel-based models.--MainFrame (talk) 23:50, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
