Google Photos tagbomb

It's best if you explain why you added these tags rather than just do so and leave us all wondering what you mean. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:09, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: Someone had brought up on User talk:czar that the article was majorly reliant on The Verge article and was much too biased to their opinions. Thought it might be a good idea to get other sources and other opinions in the article. EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 14:24, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Precious

"no harm"
Thank you, user mentioning "happily" in your introduction, for quality articles such as MS Bulk Jupiter, for fighting vandalism of any kind, monitoring new pages and answering questions at the teahouse, for clarification, for a quote-worthy "stop worrying and ignore it", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks! I think... Didn't even know this award existed! EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 16:34, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

This award - see history - existed from 2007 on, - I kind of inherited it. - I have bad news for you: it's the prize of the cabal of the outcasts ;) - stop worrying and ignore it --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:42, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

New to the Teahouse, seeking Commons image upload guidance

Hello EoRdE6. I've been tinkering and adding links for a few years now, but only a few edits every couple months, so for all intents and purposes I'm still relatively "new." I just consulted the Teahouse for the first time, looking for the proper way to categorize images I'm trying to upload to Wikimedia Commons, however I don't want to mess it up. So I have 2 problems/questions:

1. What is the proper way I should categorize my photo of a view from a hotel in Międzyzdroje? I can't seem to find exactly the answer I'm looking for on any of the Commons:Categories "help" pages
2. What is the proper way to ask a question at the Teahouse? Is there a "chat" type feature to ask whoever's available, or is it just posting on people's Talk pages?

Thanks for any help you can provide. Bush6984 (talk) 14:18, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

@Bush6984: Hi and welcome! I'll start with the Teahouse question.

If you go to this page, at the top is a blue box that says Ask a Question. Clicking on that will allow you to post a question on that page for any Teahouse host (or multiple) to answer in a forum like way.

About the Commons question, all I can suggest is to use the most specific categories possible. Making a new category is a bad idea unless you know there are other files that fit that criteria. New categories must also be categorised in less specific categories. For your file File:View facing South from Trofana Hotel, Miedzyzdroje, Poland.JPG I have added two categories that seem fitting and those three should be sufficient. Hope this helps, you can reply here or post at the Teahouse if you have any questions.

Wikipedia also has a live chat, #wikipedia-en-help that can help if you need help quickly, though sometimes I find that to be a bit slow going and occasionally unfriendly... EoRdE6^{(Come Talk to Me!)} 16:23, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

@EoRdE6: Awesome! Thank you for all your help, clarification, and friendly guidance!

Thanks anyway

The heads-up at AN/I is appreciated, even if it was bogus. It is a severe case of an IP-hopper harassing me for the last few weeks. Oh well, I just remove the messages they send me and say I'm not interested in what he's selling. Unfortunately anyone who has helped me in recent memory also gets threatening messages so I just wanted to give you a warning in case some nuisance comes here. Thanks again.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 16:33, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
