Geograph uploads, descriptions, structured data and "mills"

First of all, thank you for uploading files from geograph.or.uk with your bot. There are a few issues, however. For one, I wish you'd include the descriptions of the files, as these often contain valuable information that helps with finer categorisation. Another are the keywords ("Depicts") in the structured data that are added to the files, or rather one of these words. It seems that whenever the word "mill" appears in the file name, the keyword "molinology" appears in the data, and in many cases this is just plain odd and often wrong - it is well known that in England "mill" is frequently used as a synonym for "factory", probably because early factories were powered by water wheels, but most of them aren't mills in the proper sense. I am not sure how this fluidity in terms should be addressed, but at any rate, it should. --Schlosser67 (talk) 07:46, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Description often contains too much irrelevant text. I had a look at it several times and always concluded that it shouldn't be included on Commons.

Mapping of tags to items is done at User:GeographBot/Tags. Looking at current usage it seems to be a mix of windmill (Q38720), watermill (Q185187) & factory (Q83405) (aka mill) which are all subclass of industrial building (Q12144897) so I changed the mapping to that.

Concerning mills: Thank you, this is probably the best that can be done at the moment, considering that the geograph tags aren't well defined, either. Concerning the descriptions, I don't quite agree. There are many that are fairly irrelevant and/or wordy, so much is true, but there are more that actually add information which helps to locate and interpret the image, in particular when the image title is very generic (such as "Ordnance Survey Cut Mark" or "M6 motorway"). I have usually found the useful bit of information at the beginning of the descriptions. Maybe limit the number of characters? --Schlosser67 (talk) 11:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Copyright violation. These sculptures are in an open air museum in the Netherlands, so no "public place" because there is no free admission, and therefor FOP is not applicable. And there are no VRT tickets. The photos by RCE are only licensed for the photos, not for the works of art.

Perl Harbor

Please correct description of the file below: "File:US Navy 040702-N-4304S-136 Warships from several nations sit pierside at Naval Station Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.jpg" from: "Warships from several nations sit pierside at Naval" to eg: "Warships of several nations dock on either side of the Naval" The filename should be corrected as well. Regards Alice — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 37.225.78.239 (talk) 14:23, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

The filename File:US Navy 040702-N-4304S-136 Warships from several nations sit pierside at Naval Station Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.jpg is good enough. We generally keep file names stable.

Description is from the navy website. Multichill (talk) 14:57, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
