No idea what you're trying to do here, I'll have to come back and sort it all out later. In particular, please stop removing the date categories, they are widely used. Cheers. [[User:Rodhullandemu|Rodhullandemu]] ([[User talk:Rodhullandemu|talk]]) 16:10, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Babydoll0409,

+

Just to let you know, I undid your edit to the above file. It may seem superfluous to specify in the description that the Waterloo depicted is in Merseyside, since the image is already categorised under "Waterloo, Merseyside". However, the commons cats are not immediately visible to anyone viewing the file from another project, for example from any of the Wikipedias (as not everyone follows up the link in to Commons), so there's certainly no harm in being specific in the description itself. Respectfully, I can't see what's the advantage from removing information in this case. I have uploaded many Merseyside images which have been used in foreign Wikis, often used in subjects unrelated to Merseyside itself, so for that reason I like to specify the full description. A lot of users are from outside of the area, and in this particular case there's also a locality in London called Waterloo. Also the bigger picture is that many uploaded pictures end up on external sites outside of the Wikimedia projects - in those cases, the category information is lost, but the description is often used. I hope that makes some sense. Thanks also for all of your hard work on categorising local images. Best Regards, [[User:Rept0n1x|Rept0n1x]] ([[User talk:Rept0n1x|talk]]) 07:20, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
