National Museum of Ireland, Merrion Street 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 If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.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! |

- This cannot be considered in isolation from the two other categories within Category:National Museum of Ireland. It is clearly a branch of that institution which should remain to be clear and allow files of each to be clearly delineated. Propose no change. Ardfern (talk) 21:13, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Igreja de Santo António, Lisbon, May 2017 (01).JPG. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too.

New aircraft operators
Hello Ardfern, I have seen your edits to aircraft categories, where you maintain the operator of a specific aircraft. Thanks a lot for your work! From time to time I am taking aircraft images and today I found that Category:D-ABGO (aircraft) has a new livery: Eurowings, operated by Air Berlin (not visible on the aircraft but told by the stewardess during the flight CGN-ZRH). Are you interested in further reports? Raymond 18:20, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Raymond, thanks for the report, which I confirmed, and have updated Category:D-ABGO (aircraft) accordingly. Many thanks, all info gratefully received. Ardfern (talk) 18:31, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Ardfern, here some more news:
- Category:D-ABZK (aircraft) - now Eurowings
- Category:D-ABNT (aircraft) - now Eurowings
- Category:OH-LZP (aircraft) - new aircraft

- Hi Ardfern, here some more news:
- Thanks Raymond, all confirmed and updated. Ardfern (talk) 17:10, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
EasyJet Airbus Categories
It is not laid out in any procedure to create separate categories for current & former aircraft operated by an airline. The whole "Category: Airbus aircraft of EasyJet" and "Category:Former Airbus aircraft of EasyJet" is a complete mess, it is better to note that an aircraft was transferred to another airline (and when) than it is to create such categories. Plus, doing so makes adding another registration category a total nightmare, please stop and remove the category. Information is redundant, as it can be conveyed through ː "CategoryːAircraft registrations (several operators)" and by noting, example "Airbus A319-111
cn/serial number: 4837
*EasyJet 2011-2012 as G-EZGR
*EasyJet Switzerland 2012 to date as HB-JYB"
--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 15:58, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- On the contrary it is not a mess, for the first time it is possible to clearly see the aircraft currently operated by EasyJet and the aircraft formerly operated by EasyJet, rather than a big mass of registrations for an EasyJet aircraft type where it is impossible to see what is operated and what is no longer current. The information certainly is not redundant and actually improves the user and researchers experience in my view. Ardfern (talk) 16:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
- It is not standard. Why not just include the information in the category itself? It is not proper; you chose to make that change out of the blue instead of inquiring among other editors.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 17:06, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello Ardfern,
I'm writing you as one of the most active Commons users right now. Since a while now, the idea of a dedicated Commons conference has been floating around, but since the last Wikimania concrete steps have been taken to actually make it happen next year. If you're interested in participation or maybe willing to help organize the first ever Commons Conference, I invite you to check out the project page and leave your comments; or just show your support for the idea, by signing up.
Cheers,

New Lufthansa Airbus
Hi Ardfern, it looks like I have taken a picture of a brandnew Lufthansa plane today: Category:D-AIXE (aircraft). Raymond 15:47, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
:Thanks Raymond, further info added Ardfern (talk) 11:45, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
Aircraft variant categories
Hi, Ardfern. Categories like Category:Airbus A319-115 do not take a {{Catcat}} template. If you want them to be only for categories, they need names that indicate that, like maybe "Airbus A319-115 by registration" (which would use {{Catcat}} and not {{Metacat}}). Thanks, and feel free to ask if you have any questions about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:50, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
- Got it, thanks. Ardfern (talk) 21:55, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
