Kilauea eruption stuff
Thanks for all the work you are doing with the Kilauea eruptions. I have one note of constructive criticism, which is to please not overcategorize your uploads and categories. Basically, as a general rule, an item should not belong in a category and also that category's parent category. For instance, you've been putting things in both Category:Kilauea 2018 eruptions (May 19) and Category:Kilauea 2018 eruptions. Because the May 19 category already belongs to the general eruption category, the file does need to be in the latter. Another example: I removed four different categories from Category:SO2 emissions during Kilauea 2018 eruptions, one which was Category:Air pollution in Hawaii. Since this is a type of air pollution, I applied that category to Category:Volcanic degassing in Hawaii instead. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again. —howcheng {chat} 15:53, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
River categories
Hi, Hornstrandir1. Thanks for the work you're doing with river categories. I just want to point out that it's the standard to say "rivers of", not "rivers in". Please go back and rename the categories you've created, and use the correct wording if you create more. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
What you added to this category, is actually not an eruption, it's just usual activity of this permanent lava lake. Do you have any source for your claim? --A.Savin 16:43, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- It seems there really was an eruption as the lava lake was changing behaviour at this time, see e.g. GVP
Global Volcanism Program, 2017. Report on Erta Ale (Ethiopia). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 25 January-31 January 2017. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey. http://volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn=221080 There is unusual behaviour to be seen eg. on this picture: File:ET Afar asv2018-01 img100 Ertale.jpg (spattering?) On the other hand, is not a convecting lava lake representing an ongoing eruption in its own right? Because convecting in this context means fresh magma arriving at the surface. Hornstrandir1 (talk) 17:47, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- The pictures are from Jan 2018, not 2017. Eruption of Erta Ale actually mean an overflow of the lava lake, emission of gas or lava particles in the air, but none of that was not the case last January. --A.Savin 23:12, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- The eruption is nevertheless seen as still ongoing since 1967 (See GVP, Erta Ale -Eruptive History) - which would emphasize the definition that active lava lakes are representing sort of a permanent eruption (open system), though there is as you rightly are pointing out often spoken about eruptions only if the behaviour of lava lakes is changing.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 11:04, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

El Niño Strengthening (22139224125).jpg
Hi:
I had to remove the Category:Weather and climate has it is a "Mother category" that should have only sub-categories. Furthermore, this image is already in Category:El Niño which is in Weather and climate down the line.

Extreme Weather Events
Hi:
A thunderstorms is not an extreme weather events so this File:Cumulonimbus over Yucatan.jpg and other like tehm should not be classified in such categories. An extrme event from thunderstorms are VERY large hail, destructive winds, EF-5 tornadoes. You do not seems to understands the difference between a weather event and and extreme one. Only very desctructive events should be put in such categories.

Careless categorization
Hi! You are currently making a mess by creating tons of new categories in geomorpology and related areas. For instance, you created serveral categories related to tidal processes in Estonia while noone considers tides to have any significant impact on coasts of Estonia as the difference between low and high tide is so small. Different water levels around Estonia are because of other reasons. You have done several edits like this that indicate that you consider any coastal area where water is relatively shallow as "tidal flat". The latter obviously isn't the case, not even at areas where tides occur. Another example, tectonic processes occur at tectonically active areas (i.e. mostly edges of tectonic plates), and yet you create category "Tectonic landforms in Estonia" while Estonia is nowhere near tectonically active areas. Then, here you categorize "Lakes of Estonia" as all sorts of "fluvial" while fluvial processes relate to flowing water (i.e. watercourses) and so most lakes images obviously don't show anything characteristic to fluvial processes.
Maintaining and adding new images to some of these categories requires considerable expertise in geomorpology or some other related field. As indicated by edits referenced above you most likely don't have this expertise. Large part of you edits are problematic in similar manner. And I've only checked some Estonia-related edits, while you do similar edits to imaegs from countries all over the world. I advice you to do changes in lesser scale and do only edits that you are really-really sure about. There are not enough people who have time capacity or expertise to check all your edits and so the mess is likely to stay.
I also note that your edits and mistakes are very similar to those that User:Reykholt did about a year ago. For instance you recreated tides/tectonics related categories that were previously created by this user. In case you are the same person, then please note that having multiple accounts to do problematic edits is very much discouraged.
Also, please pay attention to over-categorization. E.g. if this category is already in a category that is subcategory of "Geology of Estonia" and "Geomorphology of Estonia" then don't at it directly to latter categories. 2001:7D0:81F7:B580:5920:A2CE:6FAC:AC99 09:46, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
- I have to agree with the IP here. Please stop over-categorization both in files and in categories themselves. --A.Savin 16:44, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- You reading me? Please STOP!! For example here Category:Intrusions (geology) in Brazil violation of COM:OVERCAT with "Intrusions (geology) by country" and "Intrusions (geology) in South America by country" + "Volcanism of Brazil" and "Volcanic landforms in Brazil". Or here Category:Intrusions (geology) in Argentina -- "Intrusions (geology) by country" and "Intrusions (geology) in South America by country" + "Volcanism of Argentina" and "Volcanic landforms of Argentina". This is administrative warning, next time = block. Thanks --A.Savin 19:51, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
- First you didn't give any examples, and now these examples are strange, because we did this categorization always in this way, see eg. Category:Lakes by country and on the other hand Category:Lakes by continent by country. It is of course possible to change and use eg. just the latter ones, but this should then be done everywhere and not just with the categories you mentioned. - Also, it seems you didn't recognize I had changed in the meantime the categorization of some of the intrusion categories .... - And, please be polite! Hornstrandir1 (talk) 09:12, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- When you see errors somewhere, it's good to correct them and not to manifold. --A.Savin 13:01, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's you who is impolite -- you did not respond to legitimate questions. For the sake of transparency, you should make a note on the userpage of your old account and link to the new one. --A.Savin 13:04, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

Please look at your edits "here." Can you explain me the reason why you removed the category "Soil creep in Taiwan" from File:Chin-Sheng Fault Zone Observatory in Chihshang, Taitung, Taiwan.JPG?--Kai3952 (talk) 14:08, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- I don't know exactly, it's a rather long time ago (december last year). But I can imagine it was because I know soil creep to be connected to periglacial landforms and Taiwan is nearer to the hotter regions around the equator, subtropics etc. - On the other hand, Taiwan has rather high mountains which could explain the existence of such phenomena. - So just feel free to put it in again.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 18:34, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- Well, the article(see en:Soil creep) explains that: "Soil creep is the slow downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress."--Kai3952 (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

- I really don't understand where I am carelessly categorizing here. Mostly I just sorted volcanoes by year (p.ex.) of eruptions these last times. I also don't understand where I was overcategorizing, took mostly categories out when I set new ones in.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 07:04, 25 May 2019 (UTC) Also do I think that to talk about "vandalism" here is absolutely absurd, as "vandalism" would mean that I would be willing destroy something in Wikimedia, which I don't do and would never have the intention to do anywhere!!!!.Hornstrandir1 (talk) 07:07, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- "Shield volcanoes in Ethiopia" belongs to the Erta Ale category and not to each file from this category. When you are doing mass edits with categories, you should know and apply this, otherwise you should not work with categories. The "ping" that you get once someone reverts you actually should be enough to understand. If you deactivate such notifications or set me or an other user on ignore list in order not to get any notifications based on their edit, you should be aware of consequences if you continue same way. --A.Savin 07:17, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- 1) Could it be that someone hacked my account, because I never did deactivate notifiactions or set someone on an ignore list - I wouldn't even know how to do this... On the other hand, I sometimes got a message to change my password, because someone had entered my account from another IP adress /computer, and it normally wasn't me. I also did change the password like perhaps 3 times up to now, but maybe I should do this also more often.

Re. the double (or more) categorizing, I sometimes put an image in a specialized category like "Erta Ale eruptions" and also let it stay in the main category, this is correct. I did this in cases when I thought the image of special interest. But perhaps for Wikimedia, to spare storage room, it is necessary to have it in not so many categories and specialize as much as possible. Whould it be perhaps a good idea instead to build up pages containing the most interesting/beautiful pictures on a subject like a special volcano? Like the ones existing on Icelandic volcanoes eg.?Hornstrandir1 (talk) 13:29, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
- @A.Savin: I think it may be time to re-address this habitual behavior. Hornstrandir1 is creating a myriad of redundant categories which are massive overcategorization, along with miscategorizing images and categories (egCategory:Mecoptera fossils in the overcat Category:Paleobiota (insects) of the Tranquille Formation that do not qualify for the new categories. This is a habitual issue that is shown by the number of category for deletion notices and the amount of clean up work needed for canadian geology pages such as Category:Allenby Formation, Category:Coldwater Beds, and the not even canadian Category:Klondike Mountain Formation.--Kevmin § 20:08, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- I think this should be raised at COM:ANU first. Regards --A.Savin 01:35, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
