Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads.

After you added the general category to the Flickr-specific one, a lot of files is OVERCATTed. Do you have any objections to the removal of the category from the files which are also in the Flickr category? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 22:39, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Hi @1234qwer1234qwer4:, please do not remove Category:Images from Department for International Development, it is used for tracking for reporting. Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 23:27, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, what about the other files from the Flickr cat not in Category:Images from Department for International Development? Also, I see a “depth” parameter in the tool. Why isn't it used for this category? 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 13:54, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

So its not used from that category because DFID also make other images available which aren't from their Flickr, can you please leave these two categories as they are? If something breaks so they can't measure their impact they are going to be sad and not want to share content on Wikipedia any more. John Cummings (talk) 15:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
