Personal photos?[edit]

I wrote this in a DR discussion, but it applies to a lot of others — so lets have here a handy pointer:

While I agree with the sentiment, the only useful way to fix this problem is to reduce the exaggerated proeminence given to the mobile uploads gadget in the mobile versions of Commons and several Wikipedias (i.a., taking down imbecile things like «This article lacks a photo — shoot one and upload it right now!»). For that, the foundation is the target to be addressed; lashing at individual uploads is petty and inffective.

Secondly, what the heck are “personal” photos, and why do you hate them? Most photos we curate and cherish are “personal”, i.e., shot by a person. Moreover, even considering a wider meaning of the word "personal", — again most of our valuable media was created and uploaded, and is being curated, within a framework of purely personal interest, as opposed to professional or any other “unpersonal” attachment. Can we stop calling something personal when we want to disparage items simply deemed frivolous and off-topic?

-- Tuválkin ✉ 00:50, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

From this:

Categorization increases the encyclopedic value of Commons as a whole, but the value of each item does not depend on how it is categorized. Categorizing is something we do, just like deleting is, so when you consider a deletion request wondering «If only this was properly categorized…» that’s the wrong approach: Categorize it, instead, or leave it for someone else to do it.

This deletionist approach equates increasing the total encyclopedic value of Commons by either actually improving curation (categories, descriptions) or deleting miscategorized or uncategorized content items (thus improving the average of those who are properly curated). That’s lazy and amounts to vandalism.

    Contentless, unmantained and obsolete haphazard gallery; its uses are much better served by [[:Category:{{subst:PAGENAME}}]] and by its subcategories.

Anthroponyms[edit]

Fortuitous arrangements of Portuguese surnames are not productive: an individual person’s name should be linked to their own separate given names (usually two, seldom one) and surnames (usually 2 or 3, some times more, very seldom one); they are not even useful to find family relations, as they change typically in each generation and often even siblings do not share the same exact combo. (This may be valid to other cultures where multiple surnames are common practice, such as Spanish, but better have someone actually knowledgeable of Spanish and other onomastics to work on it.) Shoehorning the central/northern European anthroponym practice (two name words, surname last) to everybody’s personal names wont ultimately work and is a bad practice that have been pervasive both in Wikidata and in Commons (made worse thereon due to WD influence). Japanese, Hungarian, Icelandic, Russian, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, even French — all these have specific ways to depart more or less to what is percieved as the Only Possible Way and need to be properly covered instead.
