L. Beck

Repeatedly and despite warnings, he removes files from the obviously appropriate category, because he misinterprets the term "overcategorization". Although the principles of categorization were explained to him already in December 2023, he clearly refuses to understand and accept them and continues with mass disruptive editing. He removes images of Pravčická brána as the dominant subject from the category of Pravčická brána, formerly he removed images of the chapel in Hřensko from the category of the chapel in Hřensko etc.

Guten Morgen! Ich beschäftige mich schon sehr lange eingehend mit dem Kategoriensystem hier auf Commons und übrigens auch mit Themen wie dem Editwar. Es ist ja schön, dass du eine Diskussion gestartet hast (bei der du mich ganz nebenbei gesagt persönlich diskreditierst), führst aber weiterhin unbegründet deine Änderungen durch, die eben schlicht ergreifend zur Überkategorisierung und damit in einer solch großen Kategorie zu massiven Chaosproblemen führen. Auch wenn es deine eigenen Bilder sind, hast du dich an die Richtlinien und Standards beim Kategorisieren von Bildern zu halten. Lukas Beck (talk) 05:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes exactly. The principles of categorization must first be understood before one can apply them. If some individual has not understood the principles and rules and disrupts the categorization and causes chaos with mass disruptive editing, it is necessary to solve it immediately. Your way of interpretation really deviates from the rules and established and community-used practice. If someone does not accept that the photo of Pravčická brána belongs to the category of Pravčická brána, then it is difficult to find a starting point for further discussion. Attempts to explain have clearly failed. --ŠJů (talk) 05:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Du sortierst Bilder doppelt, teilweise dreifach in einen Kategorienbaum ein. Das ist so nicht akzeptabel und genau das ist der Grund, warum wir Richtlinien für COM:Overcat haben. Ich finde es toll, dass du dir die Mühe gemacht hast, sämtliche Unterkategorien für das Prebischtor zu erstellen, aber dann sei auch so konsequent in deinem Handeln und nehme doppelte und dreifache Kategorien raus. Lukas Beck (talk) 05:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PS: Du zeigst mir mit deiner Argumentation immer wieder aufs Neue, dass du das Kategoriensystem nicht verstanden hast. Lukas Beck (talk) 05:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Wikipedia Portal Screenshot (2022).svg

Please semi-protect this file. It's used in wiki articles for "Wikipedia" across numerous wikis and has attracted a lot of low-quality metadata edits. Omphalographer (talk) 04:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there are so many instances of bad-edits for this year at the least. Regards, Aafi (talk) 04:32, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Seems to get hit more or less monthly, and I certainly don't see any legitimate edits from IPs. I think it's a reasonable request, but I'd like to see more of a consensus than just Aafi & me disagreeing. Jmabel ! talk 04:47, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
