Category:Río_Papaloapan

Río Papaloapan has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category. In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

Two languages

Sorry, that's not how things are done on Wikimedia Commons, otherwise, we'd have categories in every language for every subject. Please see Commons:Categories for more information. That said, putting a description in other languages on each category helps people find what they are looking for, and so do category redirects. - Themightyquill (talk) 15:07, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Really?

Really? Wikimedia Commons only accept english categories? terrible and limited. Good to know. Wikipedia Is less an less interest to contibute (at leat to me)

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth 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 (2017) 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. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.

In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.

Round 2 will end on 22 July 2018, 23:59 UTC.

Feliz día del músico

estimado compañero de música y de wikipedia Koffermejia, te envío un cordial saludo y una felicitación por este día de Santa Cecilia y Día del Músico, muchos éxitos y sigue subiendo tus estupendas fotos. Un abrazo. --Isaacvp (talk) 20:39, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Muchas gracias! no soy músico, pero parece que estoy rodeando de ellos. Seguire subiendo fotos y videos. un saludo!

Categorización en español

Buenas noches, he notado que usted lleva varios años aportando en Wikimedia Commons pero ha cometido el descuido de crear categorías en idioma español y en algunos casos con evidentes problemas de redacción, de ortografía, problemas de mayúscula sostenida, entre otros que son inaceptables incluso si se permitiese la categorización en español. El asunto abarca seis años y es demasiado serio, porque hasta el día de hoy insiste en usar en un mal español, cuando más arriba hace años le avisaron que sólo creara categorías redactando en idioma inglés.

Puede que a usted personalmente no le guste las normas de Wikimedia Commons, pero lamentablemente son las reglas para todos sin excepción y deberá hacer un esfuerzo en arreglar el desaguisado que ha dejado todos estos años. Si tiene problemas o no entiende cómo arreglarlo, puede consultar ante un administrador de Commons, que hay muchos de habla española. No pierde con intentarlo.

Espero comprenda, pero a partir de hoy es mejor que no prosiga con esta categorización que no se ajusta a este proyecto. Saludos. Taichi (talk) 07:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Yo no cometo ningún descuido, solo escribo las categorías que me parece hacen falta y en mi idioma. Me parece triste que dediques tiempo a escribir este tipo de mensaje sin tener claro mis motivaciones para aportar a este proyecto ¿como puede ser que un proyecto libre y al que aportamos de manera gratuita alguien se tome tan en serio las reglas? te parece más importante las reglas que dices que violo a el material fotográfico y de video que aporto al proyecto? Koffermejia (talk) 14:25, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Buenas tardes, se le explicó las razones e incluso ofrecí la posibilidad de orientarle para arreglar sus errores, pero prefirió faltarme el respeto y refugiarse en la malcriadez. Me veo obligado entonces en reportarlo ante los administradores ya que esta situación termina hoy. Si no quiere colaborar, tendrá que asumir las consecuencias de ello. Esta es una comunidad con sus reglas, no va a hacer las cosas como le plazca. Taichi (talk) 21:16, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

¿pero en que momento te he insultado y en que momento me has ofrecido ayuda? me parece que solo me haces un llamado a seguir la norma a rajatabla y nada más. Más ayuda hubiera sido que me comentaras alguna categoría que no te parece, de mi parte defiendo el uso del idioma en la medida que en esta parte del mundo me parece más funcional y es todo. Colaborar no es seguir a fuerza los consejos que se dan. Koffermejia (talk) 21:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Le notifico que lo he reportado. Ahora un administrador de Commons tomará riendas en este caso. De mi parte termino hasta aquí. Saludos. Taichi (talk) 21:30, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
