Hi, Hornstrandir1. Thanks for the work you're doing with river categories. I just want to point out that it's the standard to say "rivers of", not "rivers in". Please go back and rename the categories you've created, and use the correct wording if you create more. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What you added to this category, is actually not an eruption, it's just usual activity of this permanent lava lake. Do you have any source for your claim? --A.Savin16:43, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It seems there really was an eruption as the lava lake was changing behaviour at this time, see e.g. GVP
Global Volcanism Program, 2017. Report on Erta Ale (Ethiopia). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 25 January-31 January 2017. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey. http://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=221080
There is unusual behaviour to be seen eg. on this picture: File:ET Afar asv2018-01 img100 Ertale.jpg (spattering?)
On the other hand, is not a convecting lava lake representing an ongoing eruption in its own right? Because convecting in this context means fresh magma arriving at the surface. Hornstrandir1 (talk) 17:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The pictures are from Jan 2018, not 2017. Eruption of Erta Ale actually mean an overflow of the lava lake, emission of gas or lava particles in the air, but none of that was not the case last January. --A.Savin23:12, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The eruption is nevertheless seen as still ongoing since 1967 (See GVP, Erta Ale -Eruptive History) - which would emphasize the definition that active lava lakes are representing sort of a permanent eruption (open system), though there is as you rightly are pointing out often spoken about eruptions only if the behaviour of lava lakes is changing.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 11:04, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

I had to remove the Category:Weather and climate has it is a "Mother category" that should have only sub-categories. Furthermore, this image is already in Category:El Niño which is in Weather and climate down the line.
A thunderstorms is not an extreme weather events so this File:Cumulonimbus over Yucatan.jpg and other like tehm should not be classified in such categories. An extrme event from thunderstorms are VERY large hail, destructive winds, EF-5 tornadoes. You do not seems to understands the difference between a weather event and and extreme one. Only very desctructive events should be put in such categories.
Hi! You are currently making a mess by creating tons of new categories in geomorpology and related areas. For instance, you created serveral categories related to tidal processes in Estonia while noone considers tides to have any significant impact on coasts of Estonia as the difference between low and high tide is so small. Different water levels around Estonia are because of other reasons. You have done several edits like this that indicate that you consider any coastal area where water is relatively shallow as "tidal flat". The latter obviously isn't the case, not even at areas where tides occur. Another example, tectonic processes occur at tectonically active areas (i.e. mostly edges of tectonic plates), and yet you create category "Tectonic landforms in Estonia" while Estonia is nowhere near tectonically active areas. Then, here you categorize "Lakes of Estonia" as all sorts of "fluvial" while fluvial processes relate to flowing water (i.e. watercourses) and so most lakes images obviously don't show anything characteristic to fluvial processes.
Maintaining and adding new images to some of these categories requires considerable expertise in geomorpology or some other related field. As indicated by edits referenced above you most likely don't have this expertise. Large part of you edits are problematic in similar manner. And I've only checked some Estonia-related edits, while you do similar edits to imaegs from countries all over the world. I advice you to do changes in lesser scale and do only edits that you are really-really sure about. There are not enough people who have time capacity or expertise to check all your edits and so the mess is likely to stay.
I also note that your edits and mistakes are very similar to those that User:Reykholt did about a year ago. For instance you recreated tides/tectonics related categories that were previously created by this user. In case you are the same person, then please note that having multiple accounts to do problematic edits is very much discouraged.
You reading me? Please STOP!! For example here Category:Intrusions (geology) in Brazil violation of COM:OVERCAT with "Intrusions (geology) by country" and "Intrusions (geology) in South America by country" + "Volcanism of Brazil" and "Volcanic landforms in Brazil". Or here Category:Intrusions (geology) in Argentina -- "Intrusions (geology) by country" and "Intrusions (geology) in South America by country" + "Volcanism of Argentina" and "Volcanic landforms of Argentina". This is administrative warning, next time = block. Thanks --A.Savin19:51, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
First you didn't give any examples, and now these examples are strange, because we did this categorization always in this way, see eg. Category:Lakes by country and on the other hand Category:Lakes by continent by country. It is of course possible to change and use eg. just the latter ones, but this should then be done everywhere and not just with the categories you mentioned. - Also, it seems you didn't recognize I had changed in the meantime the categorization of some of the intrusion categories .... - And, please be polite! Hornstrandir1 (talk) 09:12, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's you who is impolite -- you did not respond to legitimate questions. For the sake of transparency, you should make a note on the userpage of your old account and link to the new one. --A.Savin13:04, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know exactly, it's a rather long time ago (december last year). But I can imagine it was because I know soil creep to be connected to periglacial landforms and Taiwan is nearer to the hotter regions around the equator, subtropics etc. - On the other hand, Taiwan has rather high mountains which could explain the existence of such phenomena. - So just feel free to put it in again.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 18:34, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the article(see en:Soil creep) explains that: "Soil creep is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress."--Kai3952 (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't understand where I am carelessly categorizing here. Mostly I just sorted volcanoes by year (p.ex.) of eruptions these last times. I also don't understand where I was overcategorizing, took mostly categories out when I set new ones in.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 07:04, 25 May 2019 (UTC) Also do I think that to talk about "vandalism" here is absolutely absurd, as "vandalism" would mean that I would be willing destroy something in Wikimedia, which I don't do and would never have the intention to do anywhere!!!!.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 07:07, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Shield volcanoes in Ethiopia" belongs to the Erta Ale category and not to each file from this category. When you are doing mass edits with categories, you should know and apply this, otherwise you should not work with categories. The "ping" that you get once someone reverts you actually should be enough to understand. If you deactivate such notifications or set me or an other user on ignore list in order not to get any notifications based on their edit, you should be aware of consequences if you continue same way. --A.Savin07:17, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
1) Could it be that someone hacked my account, because I never did deactivate notifiactions or set someone on an ignore list - I wouldn't even know how to do this... On the other hand, I sometimes got a message to change my password, because someone had entered my account from another IP adress /computer, and it normally wasn't me. I also did change the password like perhaps 3 times up to now, but maybe I should do this also more often.
Re. the double (or more) categorizing, I sometimes put an image in a specialized category like "Erta Ale eruptions" and also let it stay in the main category, this is correct. I did this in cases when I thought the image of special interest. But perhaps for Wikimedia, to spare storage room, it is necessary to have it in not so many categories and specialize as much as possible.
Whould it be perhaps a good idea instead to build up pages containing the most interesting/beautiful pictures on a subject like a special volcano? Like the ones existing on Icelandic volcanoes eg.?Hornstrandir1 (talk) 13:29, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Snow is not a sub-category of frost. Snow is a precipitation falling from clouds while frost is a deposition of water vapor in the air on a cold surface. Please don't put catogies of snow into categories of frost.
You are not paying attention or you are from a region where there is no snow to say such things. I repeat, snowis falling from clouds were it is produced at temperature below freezing (0°C) but can reach the ground which is below or above freezing temperature. Snow is a precipitation like rain. Frostis NOT a precipitation, it is formed at surface by the condensation of water vapor contained in the air on objects at temperature below freezing, most often on a cloudless night. Pierre cb (talk) 05:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is just a question about definitions of the same word in different languages. In German eg. "Frost" has the meaning of temperatures below 0°C, but I see that in English the meaning is different, like you say.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 08:48, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. It's not only connected to periglacial effects, I looked that up too. But it can be a consequence of permafrost in the soil, like eg. in Iceland. As the permafrost hinders surface water to trickle further down, it stays on the surface more or less and destabilizes the uppermost layers, eg. on mountain slopes.
The first article mentions Ellesmere Island (Canada) and other subpolar regions, where of course is permafrost (to the creep, see table within article). - The second article shows connections between permafrost and creeping landforms eg. on p.2.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 19:51, 2 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What I see in my eyes is: "Downhill creep, also known as soil creep or commonly just creep, is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress." That's the definition of the article en:Downhill creep.

Hi. I'm puzzled by this category you created. You have included Mt. Fuji and Mt. Louis categories inside this category. While they share the same massif in the Sawback Range as Cockscombe Mountain they are considered separate mountain peaks. Also, it is Cockscombe Mountain and not Mt. Cockscombe as the peak was not named after a person. Can you clarify your intention here? Since there are no existing photos on Commons for Cockscombe, I'd be included to delete this category.

By way of explanation -
I removed the category Geological Maps of Alaska from this file because
a. Ecoregions are not primarily, let alone exclusively, a geological concept, and
b. A file should not be simultaneously in both a parent and child category, so one must be removed
There appear to be no comparable categories that would reflect the biological and climatological information that also contribute to delineating ecoregions and I see little point in creating them for one file. If you can find further examples please do so. Dankarl (talk) 02:52, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I know you do a lot of category work. What do you think on this? Should landforms/bodies of water generally use the 'of' word (as in 'lakes of foocountry') or
the 'in' word (as in 'lakes in foocountry')? Is there any understanding or rule here in Commons as to what word is most appropriate for which categories? I am being beaten up over various changes I made to make things more consistent. Thanks Hmains (talk) 03:35, 22 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]
In my opinion, "in" would be more appropriate, on the other hand, I am no English native speaker. Perhaps ask some more people. - But I would also prefer to have a general rule here.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 12:54, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably just a cut and paste error; but, as shown in the Denver Basin image in the category, the Codell is a locally lensing member of the Carlile Shale Formation. It is not a member of the Norbrara, anywhere, AFAIK (IS it considered a Niobrara member in the Dakota Hogback?)

Hi, thanks for the categorisation into Category:Volcanic sunsets in La Palma - however, the photos were of sunrise! (look at the timestamps.) Also, I'm not sure how much the sunrise colour was due to the volcano, since it was looking in the other direction - the reason the sunrise is starting above the sea level is due to Tenerife being in the way.

These tables are in my WP-fr sandbox. They help me with the writing of texts in the "Geology" sections in French communes articles (in addition to the maps and their legends).
For the alpine departments (Haute-Savoie, Savoie, Isère, Hautes-Alpes,...), I am building these tables which indicate also the types of formations, the geological domains, the litho-tectonic units,... that is more suitable for the geology of the Alpine communes than the simple mention of the eras, periods and epochs. Later this could be used for categorizations (an example).
Hello. According to the history, user Hornstrandir1 added category "Agaricus bisporus" to File:Recherche de champignons.JPG. But that category is completely wrong, as I explained on the talk page, and if I understand correctly, you don't disagree with me. I pinged you to inform you that I was changing the category, because the history indicates that it was you who decided on category "Agaricus bisporus". If you can't understand how the category change could have happened from your account, this seems like a security issue. Perhaps you should change your password.

Bonjour Hornstrandir1. Tu as ajouté sur la category:Forêt de Lanmary les cartes des ZNIEFF des communes d'Escoire, de Cornille, de Bassillac-et-Auberoche et d'Antonne-et-Trigonant. Si cette dernière est correcte, les trois autres ne sont pas concernées. Sur ces cartes, on voit effectivement apparaître la mention « Forêt domaniale de Lanmary et alentours » mais elles sont extérieures à cette ZNIEFF. Si tu regardes l'article Forêt domaniale de Lanmary et alentours que j'ai créé, tu pourras t'en apercevoir. J'ai par contre ajouté à la category:Forêt de Lanmary les cartes des ZNIEFF de trois communes vraiment concernées : Trélissac, Sarliac-sur-l'Isle et Sorges et Ligueux en Périgord (ces deux dernières marginalement).

Bonjour Hornstrandir1. J'ai vu que vous avez modifié plusieurs catégories en remplaçant by city par by commune (Category:Nature of Meurthe-et-Moselle by commune, Category:Nature of Manche by commune).

Des petits villages et des hameaux ne peuvent pas être des "cities". Pourquoi est-ce qu'on n'utilise pas le mot "municipality"? C'est une traduction correcte de "commune", et en plus il contiendrait aussi les paysages rurales qui ne peuvent pas faire partie d'une "city", mais bien sûr d'une commune/municpality.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 10:22, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Le souci est que l'on tombe dans la surcatégorisation. En outre, "Commune" est un terme pour une subdivision purement française, alors que les catégories sont en anglais pour l'ensemble des pays. Avec le nombre de catégories potentiellement impactées, pour un tel changement, vous devriez en discuter avec les autres utilisateurs sur le Bistro. En attendant de trouver un accord, je vais corriger. Cordialement Tylwyth Eldar (talk) 10:59, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Je comprends.
Mais d'autre part, "department/département" est aussi un terme administratif utilisé seulement en France qu'on a accepté quand même.

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth 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 (2022) 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 are all 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.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

If you really want to have a category called Ligne du Sillon Alpin, in addition to category:Rail transport in Savoie you should add to it the following categories :

See my reply on the above mentioned page, which was:
I'm sorry, but it is a long time since I was categorizing last any paleobiota etc. Depending on your comment, it would seem that most of my work is not helpful for Wikipedia projects, but on the other hand, most of my categories were/are connected to Wikidata items, so this cannot fit really. And many other workers did say thank you for my work. Also half of the deletion requests are about one single series of old pictures about Iceland from 2002 that I uploaded but which just seem to work as thumbnails.

Please stop renaming "things in Doubs" to "things in Doubs (department)". Who would think there are Drought IN a river or Karst geomorphology of a river?

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:Galeras in 2008. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion).

I wanted just to let you know that last time when was working in Wikimedia.commons (Tuesday, April 16, 2024, around 15.30 Mid-European summer time), I had a security problem. As there came in a Ransom Ware which closed my computer down. I had to inform the police and went then to a computer shop, which removed a so-called "mole" from my computer. I thought better to let you know, just in case this is some problem also with Wikimedia.12:46, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Its not up to me to delete them. Please respond in the talk page for the deletion request. Also, did you see my message above? Steinninn ♨15:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you don't misunderstand me. I very much appreciate the work you have done categorizing pictures from Iceland. I've noticed you've added categories to my pictures that I would have never thought of. I hope that means that more people will discover and use my photos. What I mean to say is: Please don't stop adding categories to my photos or anyone else. --Steinninn ♨19:22, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see! That makes sense. I had a closer look, and so far it seems you were correct. The same photographer has named his photos of the Antisana volcano similarly, "N Antisana" (and the Flickr album implies that N stands for Napo province), so I would assume the above photos follow the same logic.

2022 Picture of the Year: Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) in Nepal.
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth 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 (2023) 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 are all 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.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

You have vandalized the content of Wikimedia Commons. Please stop. If you continue making inappropriate edits you may be blocked from editing Commons. You may test freely in the sandbox.
This exactly the same behavior that has resulted in the over 20 Category for deletion discussions on this page, with no editors approving of the level of splitting you are performing. The end results of your actions are tangled and incomprehensible messes of category webs that are wholly unusable. I think its long past time that a longer block was given.--Kevmin§16:55, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
