Re:

your comment in the discussion at the time was not related to the photo in question. So I don't understand why it is there. I deleted it because it has nothing to do with the discussion. It's pointless discussing a photo in another DR. Uoijm77 (talk) 11:18, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Something confusing

There are 2 pages on Wikipedia for the same class of engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GCR_Class_8K https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_O4 What do we do? 89.240.14.140 10:31, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

We do nothing. That's Wikipedia. A separate project, so they get to do whatever they wish. If you want to get involved, go over there and discuss it with them.

As the O4s were built under the LNER, then it's not unreasonable to have the pages separate (it might not be best, but the argument can be made for it). Andy Dingley (talk) 10:33, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

Hidden categories

If you and Cryptic-waveform don't want people like me to "overcat", then please unhide Category:Images from the National Archives and Records Administration because the 466,944 images in it show up in Category:Media needing categories requiring human attention. This would be appreciated by "humans" like me who are wasting our time trying to reduce this enormous backlog. Thanks, Krok6kola (talk) 00:41, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Discussed at your talk page. But we don't reduce a backlog by simply hiding it, from doing something that's generally useless but that just happens to make the tag go away. See also Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/04/Category:Public transport Andy Dingley (talk) 09:45, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

141 and 181

I am trying to add simpler categories for them to match the rest.89.240.14.140 11:53, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. Yet again, like the GCR/LNER locos and the NER/LNER electrics you're causing chaos. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:54, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

That is Britain. And I am sorry about the 201/104 but I am talking about 141 and 181.89.240.14.140 11:55, 14 June 2023 (UTC)

Whether it's Britain or not doesn't make any difference. Although you seem unconcerned about the difference between North and South.

These are EMD locos of a defined type. We should preserve their listing in the EMD supercat, in a clear fashion. Now adding the CIÉ class is a good thing, because that's a recognisable name of them too. But we shouldn't do that at the cost of the other, and there's absolutely no need to.
