Adding a non-category
edithttps://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Cleared_land_in_Cedar_River_Watershed,_1911_(38955058432).jpg&curid=64907889&diff=539320595&oldid=466158653 and other similar edits:
- What (if anything) is the point of adding a category to photos without creating the category?
- Normally categories are supposed to be based on objective criteria. How will people decide which spaces are and are not "limimal"? - Jmabel ! talk 05:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the concern Jmabel! :) The addition of this category is the result of an ongoing discussion on the Wikipedia Discord, and a category will be added soon (I don't know how to do it myself at the moment). As for the issue of figuring out definitions, it's been agreed that Liminality#In places should be a good-enough definition for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yitzilitt (talk • contribs) 05:30, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- I try to avoid red links. And for my own pictures: no red links. So I created the category.--XRay 💬 06:00, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
- How is this an "outgrowth" of a discussion that never mentions liminality?
- It seems to me that Liminality#In_places gives a number of disparate and potentially conflicting definitions. I still find this very suspect as a category, because I see no objective way to look at an image and determine whether or not it belongs in this category. I'd strongly suggest that it would be more appropriate to form a gallery page at Liminality, which would also let you group the images and add related commentary about a given image. See my Seattle and the Orient or Romanian Orthodox churches in Bucharest for examples of the sort of thing you can do. - Jmabel ! talk 13:51, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

King's Hand
editHello. Was actually just looking at other routes to question whether this image really is CC-licenced. We don't know whether User:Freakydeekywiki is the Twitter user @thatfrood who took the photo, or just a random person who uploaded it because they thought Wikipedia needed a picture and ticked "own work" box regardless, right? --Lord Belbury (talk) 21:20, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @Lord Belbury, I actually contacted @thatfrood directly back when it first went viral, and walked him through the uploading process, so it definitely is him. I understand that isn't strong proof, so I've DMed him asking to tweet that he's the uploader, which I'll add as a source once he's posted that, if that's okay with you. Yours, Yitz (talk) 21:26, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Great to hear it! And yeah, it's not really strong enough for Commons and might get swept away ten years from now if neither you nor I are around and nobody can tell whether it was @thatfrood or a random Twitter reader uploading it. If you could get some public proof that @thatfrood is definitely 100% okay with the photo being CC-Attribution (and hasn't just casually agreed to it being used "on Wikipedia", he also has to be cool with someone putting it on a T-shirt or in a recipe book given that CC-Attribution allows commercial reuse) that would make it watertight. --Lord Belbury (talk) 21:41, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Just uploaded a link to this tweet: https://twitter.com/thatfrood/status/1459739314368172036?s=20 (read the tweet below it as well)—let me know if that's sufficient! Yitz (talk) 04:45, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
- Looks good, thanks for sorting it out. I think I'll change the credit box to credit @thatfrood explicitly as the Source/Author, if Freakydeekywiki was just the username of a burner account he created to perform the upload, for the sake of any boilerplate reuse where a book just quotes the "Author" field, making it look like it might not be the original Hand. Long may it reign! --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:09, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
