Hello, Ciaurlec!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Richiesta foto

Ciao, mi sto occupando di pagine relative alle pietre da costruzione e mancano immagini sul marmo di Vezza, pare che sia stato usato nel portale della chiesa dei Santi Fabiano e Sebastiano a Precasaglio e vedo che hai scattato una foto della facciata. Se ne hai la possibilità sarebbe una gran cosa avere una foto del portale dove sia possibile riconoscere la tessitura della roccia. Grazie.Ciaurlec (talk) 13:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Ciao. Sì, il marmo di Vezza (o di Canè) è spesso utilizzato in edifici, soprattutto nei portali (signorili o religiosi) in alta Valle Camonica. Di che tipo di foto hai bisogno? Hai un fac-simile da mostrarmi? A presto. --Lord Hidelan 08:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Carte en blanc

Bonjour Ciaurlec,
Désolé, je ne viens pas souvent sur Commons. Je ne découvre ton message qu'aujourd'hui (Afrique pour aire de répartition.svg). Tu as raison, j'ai créé plusieurs cartes "blanches" pour pouvoir les réutiliser et pour permettre à d'autres que moi d'en faire autant. J'ignorais qu'il fallait les catégoriser ailleurs. Peux-tu STP le faire pour moi ? ou me dire quelle catégorie employée. D'avance merci. Givet (talk) 07:42, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Uhm

La vedo dura.. sinceramente non ho idea di che licenze tu possa aver bisogno, dovresti guardare nei vari siti degli enti da dove prendi le immagini! Più di questo non saprei dirti.. al massimo prova a mandare un'email chiedendo a chi ha fatto il software se ha un'idea di che licenza viene usata per le immagini. --Filnik^{\b[Rr]ock\b!?} 11:15, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

SVG probs

You can check for some common SVG problems at Commons:SVG Check. Bitmaps have to be embedded within the SVG file itself. I can't advise you on how to do that with Inkscape, because I don't use Inkscape to edit SVG files (only to test or convert SVG files). AnonMoos (talk) 01:13, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Economic maps

I agree with you. I went ahead and tried to correct the categorization. I also added, and formatted some of the "see also" links. Thank you for your categorization work. --Timeshifter (talk) 23:31, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

African geologic maps

Please go ahead with your changes. If I make any further maps like this, I will try to conform with the color conventions. I do not have a good color sense, and absolutely agree that consistency is important. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I wish I understood the subject better - I am learning as I go along. The geologists' understanding seems to be evolving quickly, with new technology making it possible to understand the structure and history of the crust (and below) much better than in the past. I am concerned that I may be confusing old and new views of a subject in one article. Also, I do not yet know the right way to avoid extremely technical words, which will make most readers give up on the article, but to remain accurate. So ... feel free to translate, of course, but be critical of what you read in the articles I started and correct them if you can. It is a fascinating subject.

Categories

First: Discover a wonderful HotCat gadget for yourself. It makes reasonable edit summaries, although not so short as I would prefer. Not such dummy texts like "Moved to more specific category" which is only a bit better than nothing.

Second: Never put more general categories to specific ones, in Commons nor in Wikipedia. It would be better for you to abstain of altering categories of categories at all, unless you realize that it is a mistake regardless of (current) content. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:12, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Could you please explain...

You put this Churchill River map, this Saskatchewan River map, and South Nahanni River map, and this Slave River map in Category:Drainage basin maps of North America but you put this Yukon River into Category:Drainage basin maps of the United States.

Category:Maps of conflicts

Hello, although I understand the rationale stated in the edit summary, removing Category:Maps by theme from this category is problematic, as it leaves the cat with only Maps of international relations - which isn't on the mark on itself for covering the conflicts theme: Conflicts can occur between Colorado and Wyoming, between neighbouring municipalities, and between territorial gangs on one street. A conflict is broader in meaning than just a military unrest between nations. Regardz, Orrlingtalk 00:17, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I have to say I definitely agree with Orrling for that matter. --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 16:50, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Buon giorno, Tu as modifié en décembre le fichier http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:European_Rivers.gif, en indiquant que celui-ci serait remplacé par un svg prochainement. Malheureusement la qualité du gif est très basse donc ta bonne intention ne donne pas un bon résultat depuis 5 mois. Peux-tu faire ta modification sur un svg ou sur le gif haute résolution? sinon il faudrait revenir au gif haute résolution. Merci d'avance

Peta Kepahiang and Peta Rejang Lebong Deletion

Hi Relly, i purpose the files you uploaded for deletion because of a probable copyviol. I will again signal theese ones. I suggest to ask for help at map workshop to create some new copyright free maps. Take in care i have nothing against your work (i'm working too at some articles about indonesia on my mother language wikipedia). Because of lack of material on commons i make my own a request at kartenwerkstatt, take a look there too. Regards.--Ciaurlec (talk) 23:06, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Ciaurlec. Actually, I don't mind anymore if those maps will be deleted. The qualities of them are low. I prefer to these ones. The maps which have been created by him are obviously awesome. The maps which I made by capturing them from Google Maps are not eye-catching. Do you know how to create maps like he has done? Tell me how. Thanks for your efforts to contribute something without copy violations.

Thanks for uploading File:Map of comunità montana Agordina (province of Belluno, region Veneto, Italy).svg. 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 {{self|cc-zero}} 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. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Richiedi una borsa "Alessio Guidetti" per Wikimania

Ciao Ciaurlec, ti segnalo il programma borse di partecipazione "Alessio Guidetti" per Wikimania 2015, che potrebbe esserti utile per partecipare al raduno mondiale degli utenti Wikimedia. Abbiamo prorogato i termini, c'è tempo fino alle 23.59 di martedì 28 aprile per fare richiesta.

Ti scrivo perché ho visto che ti dai da fare da queste parti e non hai ancora fatto richiesta. Perdonami se la segnalazione non è di tuo interesse. Nemo 08:09, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Che stai facendo?

Scusa Ciaurlec, ma come ti viene in mente di svuotare la categoria specifica Category:Geography maps of Italy togliendo tutte le sue sottocategorie dei rivers, mountains, ecc. per rimetterle nella categoria generica delle "Maps of Italy"? Esigo una risposta! --DenghiùComm (talk) 11:13, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Non capisco la tua risposta. Qui non c'è nessuna sovracategorizzazione. Fiumi, montagne, golfi, ecc. sono categorie geografiche. Vatti a vedere la Category:Geography of Italy (o di qualche altra nazione) e vedrai che contiene queste sotto categorie. Quindi la parallela Category:Geography maps of Italy conterrà le parallele Maps of Rivers, Mountains, Gulfs, ecc. of Italy. Non c'è nessuna sovracategorizzazione. Quindi ti prego di ripristinare quanto hai disfatto. Grazie e buon lavoro. --DenghiùComm (talk) 13:34, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Le categorie servono a smistare e raccogliere files (o categorie) esistenti, al fine di permettere una più rapida individuazione del soggetto o dell'oggeto che interessa. Che questa categoria - a tuo dire - non esista in altre nazioni (cosa di cui dubito fortemente; ma non ho controllato) è assolutamente irrilevante. Le categorie si realizzano per necessità, non perché ne esiste una analoga in altre nazioni. Fra l'altro l'Italia ha una situazione così ricca dal punto di vista paesaggistico e soprattutto artistico, architettonico e culturale, che è piena di categorie che non esistono per altre nazioni. Per poi entrare nel merito della nostra divergenza, c'è da dire che una cosa sono i luoghi; altra cosa sono le rappresentazioni di quei luoghi (maps, views, paintings, drawings, historical images, ecc.). Non puoi togliere la categoria della rappresentazione di un luogo al suo luogo, o al suo genere di rappresentazione, o al suo soggetto. Distinguere i vari rami non è una sovracategorizzazione. Un luogo rientra nella sua geografia (cioé comune di riferimento, che rientra nella sua regione di riferimento, che rientra nella sua nazione); altro ramo è la sua rappresentazione (foto recente, foto storica, disegno, pittura, carta geografica); altro ramo è la sua cronologia (p.es. il periodo o la data dell'immagine, o della sua rappresentazione artistica, ecc.); altro ramo è il suo soggetto (chi o cosa è rappresentato); ecc.. Tutti questi rami di categorie sono paralleli, che confluiscono infine in uno stesso luogo, o interagiscono fra di loro, talora fondendosi in una nuova unica categoria. Se abbiamo la regione Liguria con tante belle immagini dei suoi luoghi, e abbiamo mappe geografiche della regione Liguria, queste possono stare insieme nella stessa categoria Liguria fin tanto che non viene realizzata la categoria delle Maps of Liguria: è in quel momento che a tutte le planimetrie della Liguria vengono tolte la categoria Liguria e la categoria Maps of Italy e viene assegnata la nuova categoria di Maps of Liguria, alla quale (ripeto: alla sola categoria della quale) verranno assegnate le due categorie precedenti che la distinguono, cioè quella della Liguria e quella delle Maps of Italy. Questo è il sistema; e così è organizzato tutto l'albero di categorizzazioni di Commons. Quindi distinguere Geography of Italy dalle Geographical maps of Italy non è una sovracategorizzazione ma la corretta distinzione dei luoghi dalle loro rappresentazioni. E' a queste rappresentazioni che va data la relativa categoria del luogo (quindi nel nostro caso alla categoria delle Maps of mountains of Italy la categoria delle Mountains of Italy, per intenderci). Spero di averti chiarito il sistema. Quindi ti rinnovo l'invito a ripristinare la giusta e corretta categorizzazione che vi era precedentemente. Grazie. Ciao e buon lavoro. --DenghiùComm (talk) 14:29, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Nel frattempo, non vedendoti più attivo su Commons e non sapendo quando saresti tornato a lavorarci, ho risistemato - come avrai visto - le categorie delle piante geografiche nella relativa categoria superiore. Ciao e buon lavoro. --DenghiùComm (talk) 17:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Ciaurlec ! Se tu non sei d'accordo sul nome della Category:Geography maps of Italy allora apri una discussione su come rinominarla; non la svuoti semplicemente, e chi si è visto si è visto. In questo momento nella Category:Maps of Italy vi sono tutte le piante e mappe d'Italia tranne quelle che riguardano i monti, i fiumi, i laghi, le isole, e quant'altro. Ti invito ad aprire al più presto una discussione al Bar italiano su questa categoria che tu hai svuotato. Così si procede. Non costringermi a segnalarti come vandalo: perché - se non ti è chiaro - quello che tu hai fatto si configura nettamente come un vandalismo! Saluti, --DenghiùComm (talk) 14:05, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Lo so bene che io posso reinserire le categorie che tu hai tolto: ma che facciamo, io le metto e tu me le ritogli? Déjà vu, grazie. Comunque aprirò una discussione al Bar italiano che è più visibile che non nella talk specifica della categoria, dove - come ben avrai notato - nessuno se ne accorge, ed hai voglia di aspettare che qualcuno intervenga a dire la sua opinione passando di lì per caso. Ciao. --DenghiùComm (talk) 17:44, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Vorrei ben discutere il tutto in inglese (ho visto la discussione del 2011), ma lo so troppo poco. Per me è già fin troppo impegnativa questa discussione in italiano (è tutto il pomeriggio che sto guardando in giro che cosa c'è, per farmi un'idea un po' più ampia); in inglese tutto questo mi è impossibile! Comunque ho aperto la discussione al Bar italiano, e come concludo là, le decisioni che prenderemo insieme potranno essere proposte a tutto il progetto Commons. Credo che è senz'altro più facile discuterne prima fra di noi, ed il resto del mondo di Commons coinvolgerlo solo in un secondo momento, quando avremo preso una decisione fra di noi, oppure nel caso non fossimo riusciti ad arrivare ad una soluzione condivisa. Comunque sei invitato anche tu a dire la tua al Bar. Ciao e buona notte. --DenghiùComm (talk) 22:42, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Il "Bar italiano" non è su wikipedia. E' il portale di discussione della comunità di lingua italiana qui su Commons. Il link lo trovi qui sopra, a sinistra, sotto il logo di Commons, nel riquadro "navigazione". Ciao. --DenghiùComm (talk) 10:47, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I reverted some of your excisions of Category:Bird's-eye view

I reverted some of your excisions of Category:Bird's-eye view. I was concerned that you hadn't read Commons:Categories for discussion/2010/09/Category:Bird's-eye view. You are certainly entitled to think that Category:Aerial photographs is more appropriate for some images. But, if you think so I think you have an obligation to explain your reasoning.

File:Isole Curzolane.svg

Ciao, vorrei qualche chiarimento sul file "Isole Curzolane.svg" cha hai caricato su Commons.. e cioè su quali basi hai incluso quelle isole nelle Curzolane, poiché mi sto interessando all'argomento e scrivendo le voci.. le mie ricerche (lunghe ed affannose e con "dotte indicazioni") mi hanno portato a concludere che "curzolane" sono solo: Curzola, Meleda e Lastovo (con Cazza e Cazziol), e non Solta, Lesina, Brazza, e Lissa.. Attendo lumi.. grazie --Betta27 (talk) 16:45, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Allora ti devo confermare quanto sopra.. dovrò rivedere in tal senso quanto ho fatto finora in proposito.. Le uniche basi esistenti sono la cit. della Treccani e la conferma da parte del prof. Fares della Socierà Geografica Italiana... Ho cercato in tutte le biblioteche possibili e niente contraddice o spiega meglio. Quindi le Curzolane sono: Curzola, Meleda e Lastovo (con il suo arcipelago, Cazza e Cazziol). Sì, sarebbe quindi bene modificare l'immagine, quanto prima modificherò le voci.. Grazie! --Betta27 (talk) 18:41, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

No, in croato non c'è nessuna definizione delle "curzolane". Le uniche loro suddivisioni sono "regionali" (File:Counties of Croatia-fr.svg). In questo caso le curzolane coincidono con le isole della regione raguseo-narentana, mentre Solta, Lesina, Brazza, e Lissa sono nella regione spalatino-dalmata. Ho una mappa della "regionalizacija hrvatskih otoka" (del prof. Josip Faričić, Zadar) che mostra appunto questa suddivisione delle isole (te la manderei.. ma non so come)..--Betta27 (talk) 09:19, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Ti ho poi mandato l'originale della mappa in questione?... ero sicura di sì... ma forse mi sono sbagliata nell'invio.. Fammi sapere. grazie--Betta27 (talk) 10:32, 9 December 2016 (UTC) - Scusa, come non detto.. ho visto ora la tua mail....--Betta27 (talk) 10:39, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Magari tu ne sai meglio di me.. ad ogni modo penso che questa dovrebbe/potrebbe essere la traduzione per la mappa: (quando hai la mappa rifaccio la voce isole curzolane)

• Suddivisione regionale delle isole croate
• A) kvarnerski - Quarnerine
• B) srednjodalmatinski - Dalmazia centrale
• C) sjeverodalmatinski - Dalmazia settentrionale
• D) južnodalmatinski - Dalmazia meridionale
• E) zapadnoistarski - Occidentali istriane

Grazie, --Betta27 (talk) 18:43, 10 December 2016 (UTC) - ...nella notte ho pensato che bisogna tradurre meglio il titolo (Regionalizacija hrvatskih otoka).. forse solo: "Suddivisione delle isole croate" (Regionalizzazione..?) --Betta27 (talk) 08:26, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Mi accorgo che la lista dei nomi qui sopra che ti ho mandato.. ha due denominazioni invertite, sarebbe quindi:

• A) kvarnerski - Quarnerine
• B) sjeverodalmatinski - Dalmazia settentrionale
• C) srednjodalmatinski - Dalmazia centrale
• D) južnodalmatinski - Dalmazia meridionale
• E) zapadnoistarski - Occidentali istriane

--Betta27 (talk) 09:16, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Ciao, m'inserisco nella disc. su segnalazione di Betta27 per la traduzione della mappa che t'ha inviato via e-mail, elencando di seguito alcuni suggerimenti.

• Io tradurrei il titolo "Regionalizacija hrvatskih otoka" con "Suddivisione delle isole croate secondo le regioni geografiche", quindi cercando d'essere più fedeli al senso che ad una traduzione letterale.
• Se possibile, inizierei la numerazione in lettere da nord a sud, dando quindi la A all'attuale E, la B all'attuale A, la C all'attuale B, la D all'attuale C, la E all'attuale D.
• Con questa nuova numerazione, in legenda farei stare vicino al rettangolo colorato il nome in italiano seguito dal nome in croato in corsivo e tra parentesi (con la prima lettera maiusc.): A - Isole Occidentali istriane (Zapadnoistarski); B - Isole Quarnerine (Kvarnerski); C - Isole della Dalmazia settentrionale (Sjeverodalmatinski); D - Isole della Dalmazia centrale (Srednjodalmatinski); E - Isole della Dalmazia meridionale (Južnodalmatinski).
• "Jadransko more" va tradotto con "mar Adriatico".
• I toponimi delle città vanno tradotti nel seguente modo: mettendo prima in carattere normale il nome italiano e poi, a capo, in carattere leggermente minore e tra parentesi ed in corsivo il toponimo ufficiale (es. Nome italiano (Nome croato) oppure in caso di comune bilingue Nome italiano (Nome croato o sloveno/Nome italiano)): Koper -> Capodistria (a capo) (Koper/Capodistria); Pula -> Pola (a capo) (Pula/Pola); Rijeka -> Fiume (a capo) (Rijeka); Zadar -> Zara (a capo) (Zadar); Šibenik -> Sebenico (a capo) (Šibenik); Split -> Spalato (a capo) (Split); Dubrovnik -> Ragusa (a capo) (Dubrovnik).
• Nella rosa dei venti sostituire "W" con "O".
• Aggiungere in maiuscolo in grassetto, magari in grigio, i nomi degli stati: ITALIA, AUSTRIA, SLOVENIA, CROAZIA, BOSNIA ED ERZEGOVINA, MONTENEGRO.
• Aggiungere in minuscolo in grassetto, magari in grigio, i nomi di alcune regioni: Istria (sull'Istria), Quarnaro (al centro dell'insieme B, ex A), Dalmazia (in lungo ed in obliquo sulla terraferma parallelo alla linea di costa degli insiemi C-D-E, ex B-C-D).

Vi propongo (a te e Betta27) di rispondere qui e non nella mia pag. di disc. per non frammentare la conversazione. -- Gi87 (talk) 19:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

• 
  Prova con mappa "ONU"
• 
  Prova con mappa "Blank map"

Ciao, in primis mi scuso per il ritardo, purtroppo al momento ho poco tempo da dedicare ai progetti di Wikimedia. Qui ci sono due bozze di mappa, che potrebbero servire da base. Quella dell ONU ha già impostati una serie di dati cartografici, ma il dettaglio cartografico della Blank map è migliore. Concordo con molte delle proposte fatte, ma proporrei per gli insiemi C,D,E "Isole Dalmate (Settentrionali, Centrali, Meridionali)" in luogo di "Isole della Dalmazia", sul modello di "Isole Istriane" e "Isole Quarnerine".--Ciaurlec (talk) 21:56, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Ciao.. bentornato e buon 2017! Sì, la "blank" è come quella che ti ho mandato (di Faricic) ed è meglio senz'altro. La generale potresti lasciarla come l'originale con divisioni tratteggiate e legenda dei colori? Per i nomi mi piace "dalmate". Io non esagererei con l'aggiunta di nomi..., la mia idea era di lasciarla come l'originale solo tradotta e così poter citare la fonte. (La centrerei maggiormente togliendo sopra e a destra..). Ho già modificato la voce Isole della Croazia dove è destinata.. Grazie.. e resto in attesa --Betta27 (talk) 20:09, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Buon anno anche a te. Anch'io preferisco aver come base la seconda ("Blank map"), ci aggiungerei magari ancora la suddivisione regionale della Croazia oltre a tagliare un po' a dx ed in basso come suggerito da Betta. Oltre quanto scritto sopra, va bene anche a me l'accorpamento del gruppo C, D ed E in un'unico gruppo C "Isole Dalmate". Terrei però le sottosuddivisioni di settentrionali, centrali e meridionali mettendo C1, C2, C3 ed usando un unico colore per il gruppo ma declinato in tre diverse tonalità a seconda del sottogruppo. Ok ad aver un piccolo tratteggio tipo perpendicolare alla costa tra un gruppo e l'altro di isole, ma eviterei di contornare tutte le isole per non appensantire troppo il disegno. Secondo me non è un problema se rielaboriamo la mappa secondo le nostre necessità, la fonte si può citare in ogni caso. -- Gi87 (talk) 09:28, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Ciao, volevo dirti di non darti pena per il file immagine isole dalmate.. l'abbiamo completato, Abbiamo chiesto al prof. Faricic di caricare il suo su Commons per avere automaticamente i diritti di modificare/pubblicare.. ma non abbiamo ancora avuto risposta.. quindi il file in teoria c'è... ma non è ancora disponibile :-( --Betta27 (talk) 15:58, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Please understand the difference between diagrams and charts (cats)

Hello, please do not continue categorizing diagrams (like this or this) into charts categories.
And also not charts into diagrams categories.
Thank you.

Diagrams are not charts. Both are information graphics. Prototyperspective (talk) 15:58, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

I separated qualitative data from quantitative ones. But before continue this discussion please reorganize all the items in both categories as you mean. Thanks. Ciaurlec (talk) 16:08, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Don't see how that applies anyhow to many or most of these files (incl the 2 examples); and also if some illustration diagram happens to include some numbers or shows sizes of components that roughly match the scaled sizing, that doesn't make them charts – basically chart show data and most often data over time or pie charts. Thanks. Prototyperspective (talk) 16:21, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I agree with you: i made some gross mistakes. First of all, i wanted to let you know that the changes were strictly related to the search for a useful tool for managing Earth science categories. Unfortunately, the definitions of diagram, chart, and graph are unclear, especially for non-native English speakers (including German, Italian, and Czech, for example). From what I understand, we're far from having guidelines or even a consensus on the terms, as can also be seen from (Commons:Categories for discussion/2021/01/Category:Diagrams). Ciaurlec (talk) 20:53, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. I think there is quite some agreement in that CfD. I do speak German but a word in that language isn't necessarily the same as in English and diagrams are generally distinguished from graphs and other charts and choropleth map. An option would be to consider renaming or subcategorizing diagram categories to cats named like "Geological schematic diagrams". Basically Diagrams are simplified illustrations that explain ideas, structures, and processes.. Terms are one thing; the main thing is that these two obviously very different types of information graphics are distinguished and if people have input on how to do so better, it can be added to that CfD. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:26, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

For now, i have simply separated the files into the charts and diagrams categories; i have placed all the graphs and plots in the first group; i have left the flowcharts in the second. It might certainly be useful in the future to separate the logical diagrams from the schematic ones, and perhaps make a similar distinction in the maps category between choropleths/cartograms and descriptive maps. I should point out that there are a lot of cross-sections in the earth sciences subcategories; many are more like maps than diagrams; perhaps they deserve a separate information graphics category. Finally, i haveve also read the more general discussions you've participated in; i will try to contribute gladly. Ciaurlec (talk) 23:45, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! PS: there are some cross-section categories already, see e.g. Category:Geological cross sections but maybe you meant these categories and I see you know of that category already. Prototyperspective (talk) 00:07, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
