Categories in België

Dag, ik zie dat je geregeld goed werk verricht hier. Dit berichtje om te melden dat in België, het hoofdcategoriesysteem op twee niveaus werkt: Belgisch en plaatselijk (dat laatste kan een wijk, dorp, gemeente of stad zijn). Er is enkel een hierarchie om de relatie tussen land/provincie/municipaliteiten/woonkernen vast te leggen, maar los daarvan is er voor de categorieën in België geen enkele hierarchie en dus ook geen geographische kennis vereist. Als je daarbij bijvoorbeeld een hierarchie van vb de stations in Liège wenst bij te voegen is dat Ok maar het hoofdcategories systeeem België/lokaal blijft beter gehandhaafd.

Category:Former vicinal railway lines in Belgium

I will agree with you, if you will proceed on the same way for the above category.

Jean-Pol GRANDMONT (talk) 09:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

The cat. "Former vicinal railway lines in Belgium" has pictures from many places and is a subcategory off the much bigger "NMVB/SNCV" category. Once there are enough pictures I can make a subcategory where I can link directly to the location, but until then I maintain the direct link to the location in the pictures. On having enough pics I can create "Former vicinal railway lines in the province of Hainaut" and link it to the province of Hainaut.
The "Parc de Mariemont" category is different in that all the pictures are taken in Morlanwelz-Mariemont.

Greetings,

Your vicinal railway maps

Hi, Smiley.toerist. As you've probably noticed, I looked through you contributions and nominated a few files for deletion because they seem to be photographs of non-free works. However, my real concern was your vicinal railway maps, such as File:Buurtspoorwegen Namen.png and File:Buurtspoorwegen Luik.png. It seems clear from looking at the images and their history that you're making these maps by first scanning in a paper map and then cleaning it up digitally. However, I don't see any mention of how you obtained the original paper maps that you scanned. If those images are based on scans of non-free copyrighted maps, then I suspect that they may constitute non-free derivative works. If you could clarify the source of those maps, and thereby allay may concern, I'd be very thankful. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 17:12, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

(Rely below copied from User talk:Ilmari Karonen.)

I used and combined several sources to draw the maps:

• The starting point is a partial foto of a 1978 GTF national railmap (black and white). This map is no longer available or sold. The vicinal railway lines on the GTF map are very small dotted lines. However there were many errors, imprecisions and corrections for wich I used a lot of (sometimes conflicting) sources. These where:
• Michelin road maps
• Vicinal railmaps of "Rail Atlas vicinal"
• The vicinal story (light Railways in Belgium)
• Detailed walking maps
• Google Earth
• railway timetable of 1933
• Tram/railway map of Brussel
• Personal hikes along the tracks (File:Tunnel spoorlijn 25A onder 25 en 27.JPG, File:Essene-Lombeek oude spoorbrug.JPG
• Discussions with other wikipedians over the precise route of a line.

When I am ready with a map, there is not single byte left of the original picture. All railway lines/vicinal lines have been redrawn with the hand, using the other sources. (thicker and smaller lines, lines and stations deleted and added, etc) I have added a lot of locations and other details. All text is my own.

There is a discussion as what is an original map. Al maps have to start from somewhere and it is inevitable that as a representation of a reality, al maps wil look similar. These are the same railway lines and information. (content) What ultimately makes the difference is the styling en way of presentation, not the content. (Look for example at roadmaps of the same area) Besides there is a lot of original content. Each map cost me a lot off effort and time. The styling and colours are original and my own. A strongly object to refering the maps as derivative works.

Smiley.toerist (talk) 20:43, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

If you want I can send the "starting" map if you want to judge for yourself.

Thanks for your speedy reply. If indeed, as you write, the styling and colors of the finished maps are entirely original to you, then I see no problem: I fully agree that the mere geographical placement of towns, borders and routes on a map is abstract factual information which generally cannot be copyrighted. I was only concerned because it seemed, from looking at the images, that you might've been merely recreating the source maps complete with their styling, color and other creative presentation choices. If that's not the case, then I have no further concerns. In any case, I'd like to thank you for contributing so much time and effort to Commons, and I'm sorry for any that I may have needlessly wasted with this query. :-) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

It would be usefull is there are some guidelines in the commons. The derivative explaination section doesnt mention maps and what is posible. It remains a judgement call. If you take a picture of a paris metromap and draw a few lines it is not sufficient.

I find the lack of FOP in Belgium and France for public billboards a bit ridiculous. If a company or project puts up public information on the boards, I cant see any posible reason why they want to copyrigth/protect the information. There would be no legal risk. I can extract a drawing out of File:Lyon Leslys construction 9.jpg but it cost a lot of time for little purpose.Smiley.toerist (talk) 21:34, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

File:Tram companies in Liege province.jpg is a combination of two different pictures taken in the trammuseum of Liege. It is very usefull information for several articles. I could try to get permission of the museum. Creating a new diagram is a lot off work. Alternatively I could rework the whole thing and keep the information.

All the pictures in the category are off Belgian multiple units of the SNCB railway. EMU stands for Electric Multiple Unit. "Classical EMU" is a very broad term and can apply to a lot of old EMU's in any country. Not as a subcategory of Category:Electric multiple units of Belgium.

Suggestie naar aanleiding van Category:Duisburg Sint-Joris-Weert SNCV

Dag Smiley.toerist. Ik zag je mooie samenvatting van de foto's in de Category:Duisburg Sint-Joris-Weert SNCV. Het op deze manier presenteren lijkt mij ideaal voor een Gallery. Het voordeel is dat je dan geen "ingewikkelde" verwijzingen als [[Category:Duisburg Sint-Joris-Weert SNCV|23]] nodig hebt. Je kunt zelf bepalen in welke volgorde de foto's komen en een groot voordeel is dat wanneer er een nieuwe foto bijkomt, die in een gallery makkelijk op de juiste plaats is te zetten. Bij een category moet je - als je pech hebt - de verwijzingen van veel andere foto's aanpassen om ze weer in de goede volgorde te krijgen. Een ander voordeel van een gallery is dat je snel kunt zien wanneer iemand iets heeft veranderd, wanneer je de gallery hebt aangeduid met "volgen". Bij een category heb je dat niet; als iemand een foto aan de category toevoegd zie je dat niet. Groeten Wouter (talk) 21:25, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

De "volgende" en "vorige" werken door de verschillende categorien heen. Als je start met File:Sterrebeek-trambaan 1.jpg in categorie Sterrebeek Vossem SNCV komt je uiteindelijk op File:Sint-Joris-Weert Hamme-Mille 1.jpg twee categorien verder. En ik heb nog beelden verderop File:Beauvechain kruising.jpg en zelf nog beelden in Geldenaken die ik nog niet opgeladen hebt. Uiteindelijk denk ik aan een reuze galerij van Sterrebeek tot Bevekom met een kaart erbij.Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:46, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Category:Crossborder buses Belgium Netherland

Isn't there a better name for this category? I'm guessing you're talking about buses that are in some Belgium-Netherlands cross-border region (I live in the US so I have no idea; at first I thought "Crossborder" may be a brand of buses) or buses that simply cross the Belgium-Netherlands border? Maybe we can call it "Belgium-Netherlands cross-border buses" or "Cross-border buses in Belgium and the Netherlands". BTW, this doesn't work. You can only sort a category one way per category. Rocket000 (talk) 06:37, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

In Europe there are to kinds of international buses in public transport. There are the long distance buses like Eurolines like Paris Amsterdam wich are run for profit. At a local level there are some bus connections crossing the borders. Local and regional buslines are heavily subsidized and local authorities dont like to spend money outside their area. So local international lines are very haphazard and little known. (also in the travelwebsites). Going back to the issue at hand:

How would you classify all the public transport buses lines crossing the US Canadian border? Do local buses al stop at the border and you have to cross on foot to catch a bus on the other side? Often it is complicated because a busline has to have permission on both sides of the border. Who drives the busses? Are local tarif used on both sides of the borders for local passengers? This is why I consider buslines crossing the border as something special. In Europe there are lots of borders without any barriers. By most borders you dont really notice them.

I would like to have head category regrouping all crossborder buslines; Belgian/Netherlands, France Belgium, France Germany etc. There maybe a better name, but all such categorys should have the same naming convention.Smiley.toerist (talk) 07:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

PS: Is there any article summarising all the ways you can cross the US/Canadian border with public transport? Smiley.toerist (talk) 07:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not saying they shouldn't have a category, I just thought the name could be improved. I couldn't find any article about US-Canada border-crossing public transport, but I do know there are buses, trains, and ferries that do cross the border on a regular basis (some info: [1]). So which one of the names I suggested is best? Or can you think of something better? The current title, at the very least, needs a preposition in it, e.g. "Crossborder buses in Belgium Netherland", and Netherland should be Netherlands. Rocket000 (talk) 20:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

"Crossborder buses between Belgium and the Netherlands" and as head category "Crossborder buses in Europe". The last is maybe not really necessary. (buses in Europe/buses by country) Smiley.toerist (talk) 16:53, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I moved it to Category:Cross-border buses between Belgium and the Netherlands. I'll leave it up to you to create a parent category if you think it's needed. Rocket000 (talk) 12:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Tramway of Valenciennes

There will be a new extension to Crespin/Quiévrechain. The terminus of the line will be at the Crespin station Link. Since I have seen on Google Earth that you have put on line some pictures of the facilities there, could it be possible for you to put on Commons some pictures of that area ? Thanks a lot. 195.169.141.54 13:41, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

It is unclear in the article wat is meant bij station Crespin. There has never been a rail/tram station in Crespin and on the international railway line the station was called Blanc-Misseron but this was some distance away from Crespin. Crespin and Quiévrechain are on the opposite side of the railway and cannot be served by the same line. The busline 15 serving the area form Valenciennes goes to the border and then turns back and then serves either the Crespin or Quiévrechain village. I suspect that the tram wil continue from the railwayline North to Crespin (or South to Quiévrechain, but not both). A connecting busline can be started from the Belgian station connecting with the tram and continuing to the village not served by the tram. But this is pure speculation from my part. I find it strange that there not already a bus connection between the Belgian station and France. They dont need a tram to start a crossborder service. There used to be a direct busservice between Mons and Valenciennes. I have doubts about the international traffic to be generated. Smiley.toerist (talk) 08:44, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Mulhouse tram and tram-train

Hello I'm really sorry, I don't know if you prefer french or english to talk, then I'll try english even if i'm a French guy lol. First of all, thank you and congratulations for your pictures of Mulhouse tram and tram-train, it's a very good work. I'm in the way to organize categories there, then if you want to change some of them on your own pictures, it's up to you, I try to have more precise categories now that there is a sufficient number of pictures. I just wanted to ask you about the File:Mulhouse - tramway map.png you recently updated. It's nice but there is a little part of line 1 missing on North, the 3 stops opened in 2009 after Rattachement (Tuilerie, St Nazaire, and Châtaignier). Would it be possible to add them on the schema? It would be very kind! Thanks again, Cheers! Jeriby (talk) 02:02, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

I dont have the precise information on line 1, (where are the points, crossovers and platforms (centre or side)). Futhermore there is not enough drawing space in that direction, but that can be solved by a break with inset.

French is no problem for me, except I dont write it without errors. (fautes d'orthograph) Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:29, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

OK thank you very much then I'll go on in french malheureusement je n'ai pas d'outil adapté pour faire ce genre de dessin, mais pour avoir la description exacte de la ligne et de ses croisements, je pense qu'il y a moyen de s'inspirer de ceci: [2] jusqu'au trait noir qui marque l'arrêt de la ligne en l'état, au nord de Châtaignier (la suite étant le plan de l'hypothétique extension en direction de Wittenheim). Voilà, si cela peut aider :-) Jeriby (talk) 16:59, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Rolling Stock of TER Alsace

Hey !

Je vois que tu parles français, je suppose donc que je peux m'adresser ainsi. Mais dis le moi, si tu préfères que je parles anglais. Je souhaitais simplement savoir pourquoi tu as retiré la catégorie Rolling stock of TER Alsace sur les photos du tram-train de la Vallée de la Thur. Il s'agit d'un service spécifique pénétrant un réseau urbain mais il s'agit bien d'un service TER, donc je pense qu'il a sa place ici.

Cordialement, Kevin Benoit ^{[Let's talk about it!]} 08:33, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Pas de probleme. La categorie "U 25600" est une souscategorie de "Rolling stock of TER Alsace". De plus la Categorie "Tram-train Mulhouse-Vallée de la Thur" est une souscategorie de "TER Alsace". Encore ajouter une categorie sur les images et de trop. Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:02, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

File:Mariemont Splitsing.jpg

Hi Smiley.toerist, in your last comment on VP you suggested to let both "duplicate" images stay. However, shortly thereafter you tagged one of them for dupe-speedy, which I then performed without knowing of your earlier VP comment, which then led to this discussion on my talkpage. Am I correct to assume that your later edit expresses your "final will"? --Túrelio (talk) 12:44, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but I had some hesitation because the corrected version (without haze) is so much smaller. The community often prefers to keep the biggest images and edit them themselves. It was my mistake, I didn't realize I had already uploaded the image, otherwise I would have just uploaded the newer version and the old version would stil be available. The commons should signal that there is already a version with capital letter extention. Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:57, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Uncorrect date on a postcard

Hallo, this image cannot be from 1915: the tramcar is clearly a unit of the series 2500, built from 1932.--Friedrichstrasse (talk) 11:41, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

The dates on the back are confusing: handwritten is 25 - XII - XV. The stamp is Torino, 18-19, 26 . XII, 36 XV. The poststamp is 20 cent? I have a suspicion that it is year 15 of the election of fascists in the parlement 1921 (1936 - 15 = 1921). This should make it the year 1936. Smiley.toerist (talk) 15:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

The "Fascist Era" (E.F.) started on 28th October 1922. Then XV E.F.: from 28th October 1936 to 27th October 1937. So 25 - XII - XV = 25th December 1936.--Friedrichstrasse (talk) 17:59, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons.

Category: Tatranská Štrba (train station)

Hi, sorry, I cannot understand why you made category Tatranská Štrba (train station). Oficial name of the station is Štrba. Especially when you moved only some photos into that new category. --PetrS. (talk) 06:08, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

The two categories "Štrba (train station)" and "Tatranská Štrba (train station)" already existed. Tatranská Štrba is used for the meter gauge part of the station while Štrba for the mainline part of the station. However there where also meter gauge pictures in the Štrba category wich I moved. I have made Tatranská Štrba a subcategory of Štrba. It is already a subcategory of "Ozubnicová železnica Štrba - Štrbské Pleso" the small track railway line. To avoid confusion the category "Tatranská Štrba (train station)" should be renamed. I wil make a suggestion.Smiley.toerist (talk) 08:26, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• Highest speed technically: 165Km/h

Category:Elmers End station (tram)

There is no way that a subdivision of the station category like this is warranted - it's not as if the tram part is separate like at Beckenham - it's just another platform. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:05, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Any station category can be further subdivided, as an extreme example Category:Antwerp Central Station. These subcategories have to be practical and usefull. In this category there only one picture (File:All change - geograph.org.uk - 225392.jpg) wich is dual tram/train. All the rest have only tram or the rest of the station as subject. I could name the category "tram platform" only this is to specific for some pictures. (File:Tram 2558 at Elmers End.jpg but I classify this one as between tram stops). The big advantage of having this subcategory is that this can be placed under the tram stop categories and other tram categories. There are to many non-tram pictures to classify te whole Elmers End station category as a tram-stop. You can of course classify the pictures individualy as a tram stop but then you mess up the category Tramlink stops where everything is subcategorized by individual tram stops. Eventualy Tramlink stops en trams will have to be categorised by routenumber as most big tramnetworks. For the vehicles I dont suppose you have a problem with "Trains at Elmers End" and "Trams at Elmers End" subcategories. I am aware that the Commons adapts to local taste for categorisations and I respect that. I would like to know how other UK Wikipedians think about these issues. Therefore I would like to discus this in the Village Commons.Smiley.toerist (talk) 10:18, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Verzoekje

Beste Smiley.toerist,

Ik kwam een Flickr stream tegen met allemaal foto's van treinen en d8 he, dat zijn leuke bruikbare foto's en heb ze vervolgens overzet naar Commons. Ware het niet dat ik geen flauw benul heb hoe ik sommige moet categoriseren. Heb je misschien zin om me met een paar foto's te helpen? Ze staan in Category:Images uploaded by Natuur12 (clcean up2) en wanneer ze in de juiste cat staan kan de categorie "Category:Images uploaded by Natuur12 (clcean up2)" verwijderd worden. Als je wilt helpen graag want volgens mij zitten er best wat waardevolle foto's tussen. Natuur12 (talk) 14:51, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

De eerste stap is deze beelden per land en jaartal te klasseren: voorbeeld: 2007 in transport in Belgium.Smiley.toerist (talk) 19:53, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Ik heb al een flink aantal Belgische opnames verwerkt. Van sommige kan ik de locatie niet achterhalen. Hij is meer "materieel" man dan een station en spoorlijn liefhebber.Smiley.toerist (talk) 23:23, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Dank voor de tip en de hulp. Treinen zijn niet mijn ding maar ik geloof wel dat dit soort fotocollecties waardevol zijn voor de toekomst. Natuur12 (talk) 23:29, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Het is nu gereduceerd tot 336 beelden. Veel beelden zijn van trein excursies naar bijzondere plekken in het Luikse industrie gebied. Kom je dus niet zo vaak tegen.Smiley.toerist (talk) 15:14, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Alle Belgische plaatjes zijn verwerkt en ik ga nu ook die van Nederland doen. Het zijn er niet zoveel.Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:49, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Alles is nu teruggebracht tot 138 beelden. Ik heb vermoedelijk alle Europese beelden eruit gevist. (misschien nog een paar uit de Baltische staten) Je moet nu nog een Japanner en een Amerikaan vinden om de rest grotendeels weg te werken.Smiley.toerist (talk) 10:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Geweldig!. Heel veel dank. Zelf zou me dat echt nooit gelukt zijn gezien mijn beperkte kennis van treinen enzo. Natuur12 (talk) 10:57, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Het zou heel veel helpen als Category:Photographs by Peter Van den Bossche in cronologische zit. Want dan zitten alle beelden van dezelfde reis bij elkaar en is het bepalen van de locatie gemakkelijker. Nu is alles door elkaar volgens de alfabetische volgorde.

Plaza del Caudillo in Valencia.jpg

Thank you for a couple of postcards of my hometown! But I find some problems with Plaza del Caudillo in Valencia.jpg. That square is the main one in the city and it has had many names. Originally was know as Bajada de San Francisco. Later was renamed Plaza de Emilio Castelar. I think that the name was kept during de Civil War, but when the Francoist troops arrived (April 1939) it was changed to Plaza del Caudillo. About 1979 it was named Plaça del País Valencià and in the 1980s it became Plaça de l'Ajuntament. So in the 1930s it wasn't called del Caudillo, as Franco didn't use that title yet. I think that the picture is from the 1950s as the Ateneo Building, which was built in 1953, can be seen.
The other picture, the trams, is correctly located (that corner still exists and hasn't changed much) and the date could be right or wrong, I don't have a clue. Other user from Valencia could help you with that (Joanbanjo, for instance). B25es (talk) 05:51, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

The two pictures where joined together so the dating is similar. I based my dating on the cars, but I suppose at that time Spain didn't import many cars, so you could have a Cuba-effect (only old cars in use). The building places the images in the 1950s. These are postcards without any identifying marks so I suppose these where official post office postcards. This classifies them as anonymous but unfortunataly not old enough for the eu-anonymous (70 years) unless Spain has a different PD age. Theoreticaly the tram picture could still be from 1930s as the postcard publication date can be long after the picture is taken. The editors often reuse an old picture collection.

Trams in Liege

The tram network in Liège (1939)

Thank you for your wonderful map of the tramlines in Liege in 1939. It is really hard to find enough information or online sources to make a half way decent attempt at a translation based english language entry on the Liege trams before 1967.

(But yes, that is what I have been trying to do. Bien entendu, suis fou.)

PLEASE can you do something even more and tell me what the colo(u)rs means?

   Black lines = RELSE (?main line trains)
   Blue lines = TULE (?tramlines or ?trolleybus routes)
   Red lines = SNCV electric (
   Green lines = SNCV non-electric

I tried starting to guess but ... no, I think I've been guessing it wrong.

I am sorry I cannot write to you in Dutch. But I can write:

Betreft: File:Stoomtrein Dort in stoom 2014.jpg‎ Wat betreft de dubbele tractie: Aan beide zijden van de trein stond een stoomloc omdat op het onderhavig traject geen keren mogelijk was. Sowieso klopt dus het verhaal niet.

Category:Südtirol Bahn

Hallo, I cannot understand what should be this "Südtirol Bahn": the railway is usually called "Ferrovia del Brennero" in italian, or "Brennerbahn" in German.--Arbalete (talk) 20:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

This is the name used for all regional trainservices in Sudtirol. see http://www.vinschgauerbahn.it/en/ The ticketing and trains are marked in these Südtirol Bahn logo´s.Smiley.toerist (talk) 21:16, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

So, it isn't a railway line, but only the commercial name of the regional railway service.--Arbalete (talk) 21:44, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Its not a railway line and does not pretend to be, but it falls under the category (Rail transport in Trentino-South Tyrol). Maybe better to rename it `rolling stock of Südtirol Bahn`. There are similar categories such as (Rail vehicles of TER Alsace) within (TER Alsace).Smiley.toerist (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Railway images among Internet Archive book images

Hello Smiley.toerist,

I have been going through Category:Files from Internet Archive Book Images Flickr stream and there are many railway images which are not my specialty. Any help categorizing them would be appreciated:

• Category:Railway Club of Pittsburgh, Official proceedings
• Category:Science of railways (1916)
• Category:Electric Railway Journal
• Category:The Street Railway Journal
• Category:Railway mechanical engineer (1916)
• Category:The Street Railway Review
• Category:Air brakes, an up-to-date treatise on the Westinghouse air brake as designed for passenger and freight service and for electric cars (1918)
• Category:Railway and locomotive engineering - a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock

...plus the 15000 images a search finds. Considering the scope I have also requested help from WikiProject Trains. MKFI (talk) 06:41, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

These images are mostly of the American railroad scene. That is not my strong point. I know much more about European railways.Smiley.toerist (talk) 09:03, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Vehicle 6129 of the Charleroi metro

Hallo,

De serie 61xx voertuigen werden hernummert in 74xx. 6129 werd dus 7429. Of maak is een vergissing ?

--H₂O^(talk) 21:47, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Bij mij is het: you see what you get. Het is in 1983. Dat het misschien later hernummerd is is niet van belang. De meeste kijkers die de nummering achtergrond niet kennen begrijpen er niets van. Ik ook niet tot je mij op deze hernummering wees. Zeker als ene een subcategory is van de andere. Is de oude nummering minder waard dan de nieuwe? Waarom geen twee aparte categorieën als er ook een beeld is met de nieuwe nummering? (maar die is er niet --> verwarring)

Het zijn ook andere maatschappijen: De SNCV/NMVB en de TEC. (ik neem aan dat de TEC ze vernummerd heeft) Smiley.toerist (talk) 23:20, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Het is hetzelfde voertuig, onder en ander kleurtje (maatschappij) en met een nieuw nummer. Een doorwijscategory is niet aangewezen. Daarom maakte is de oude nummering als een subcategory van de nieuwe. Met een beetje text uitleg is het misschien beter. --H₂O^(talk) 14:25, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Netkaart Buurtspoorwegen Brabant

Beste Smiley.toerist ! Eerst en vooral mijn dank en felicitaties voor de prachtige netplannen over de NMVB, ik heb ze in mijn opzoekingen al vaak opgeroepen. Daarbij zijn me enkele (kleine) foutjes opgevallen, dit is zeker geen kritiek.

• NMBS lijn 124 : Lillois ipv Lillios
• NMBS lijn 124 : Baulers ipv Baujers
• NMBS lijn 60 : Lebbeke ipv Lebbele
• NMBS lijn 60 : Mollem ipv Molhem (Molhem is oude spelling)
• NMBS lijn 161 : gezien de kaart in het NL is, zou hier eigenlijk Bosvoorde moeten staan ipv Boitsfort
• NMVB lijn AL (Aalst) : de tram kwam niet tot aan de statie van de NMBS. Terminus van de AL was aan de Corneliskaai.
  • De lijn lijkt achterom het station gereden te hebben: dienstregeling 1933: Asse - Aalst - Oordegem: In Aalst: Overhamme, Zeebergbrug, Dam, Baudewijnkaai (begin/eindpunt sommige ritten), Nieuwbrugstraat, Koophandelstraat, Koolstraat, Paddenhoek. Het lijkt erop dat de tram het kanaal overstak bij Nieuwbrugstraat. Er is daar trouwens een Tramstraat. Ik vermoed dat Baudewijnkaai later is hernoemd naar de Corneliskaai. Ik wacht even met de kaart aan te passen tot dat dit helder is.Smiley.toerist (talk) 11:44, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
• NMVB lijn Leerbeek - Edingen : Kokejane ipv Coquiane (Kokejane is deel van Herne)
• NMVB lijn W (Waterloo) : Monument Gordon ipv Monument
• NMVB lijn W (Waterloo) : Waterloo, Eglise ipv Waterloo, Kerk
• NMBS lijn 147 : Sauvenière ipv Sauveniere
• NMBS lijn 142 : Eghezée ipv Eghezee
• NMVB lijn Beauvechain - Jodoigne : La Bruyère ipv La Bruyere
• NMVB lijn Brussel - Leuven : de verkorte dienst W (Wezembeek) ontbreekt.
• NMVB lijn Brussel - Leuven : de Leuvense stadsdienst 2 liep enkel tot Leuven Terbank, niet tot Tervuren. De electrische dienst Vossem - Tervuren had geen nummer, noch letter.
  • Ik heb het zo overgenomen uit de Rail Atlas vicinal, blad 40, Leuven 1940, De lijn 2 doorstreept rijdt tot Terbank en lijn 2 tot Tervuren.Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:18, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
• NMVB lijn Leuven - Diest : de verkorte dienst T (Tielt) ontbreekt.

Verder stel ik me de vraag of het niet wenselijk zou zijn, bij de electrische lijnen tussen () ook het nummer van het spoorboekje te vermelden. Ten slotte nog een algemene vraag : waarom hebben de kaarten van Henegouwen andere kleurcodes als die van de andere provincies ? Beste groetjes, Spm9153 (talk) 19:34, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

De kaarten van Henegouwen zijn veel later gemaakt met andere technieken. Groen was lastig te gebruiken met Openstreetmap kaarten als achtergrond. Het is de bedoeling de verschillende detailkaarten samen te voegen, de schaal is immers dezelfde. Het is mij alleen niet gelukt om samen te voegen met fotoshop. De kaarten zijn een afdruk van de betrokken fotoshop lagen. De andere provinciekaarten zijn handwerk op basis van een GTF spoorkaart detail fotos. Voor de rest informatie gebruiken van oude kaarten en die intekenen met de spoorlijnen als kader. De namen kan ik redelijk simpel aanpassen.Smiley.toerist (talk) 19:51, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi,

I used the terminusses for this line though the bus only goes to Charleroi-Sud on Sunday. But if you want to use the official name then it's 365a. --Dldwg (talk) 16:50, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

The bus line Charleroi - Brussels started very early: File:Dienstregelingen 124A en 124B.jpg. Later it got the national line number 365a. It was limited to Gosselies only after the metro/tram was extended to Gossely.Smiley.toerist (talk) 22:59, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Ghent trolley and tram network

Trolley line

I added the different categories to the trolley line Category:Trolleybuses in Gent.

See also categories: MIVG trolleybus line 3, De Lijn trolleybus line 3 and De Lijn bus line 3.

Do you think I can remove the in-service photos and put them in the right folder: MIVG trolleybus line 3/De Lijn trolleybus line 3/‎De Lijn bus line 3‎ ?

As for the photos taken at the depot, we can place them in the vehicle folder or in the line folder. I'd rather place them in the vehicle folder as the photos taken at the depot are not giving much informations on the line, however we can place them in a "MIVG van hool AG280T at nameofthedepot depot" this category would be part of the line folder.

I put the n°3 bus line in this category as well as in the bus category due to it being the successor of the trolley line. However as De Lijn and the MIVG have only put in service 1 trolley line, I didn't created a MIVG or De Lijn trolleybus lines category and I put them in the bus lines category.

Tram line

Also, what do you think if we sort the lines depending on their company, line number and length instead of using the Ghent tramline 1 which is vague as the lines have far evolved since the MIVG ?

This would also avoid having all the photos in one folder.

As I did for the trolley line. If we take the 1st Ghent line, we end up with 1 main folder Ghent tramline 1 and different sub-folders: -MIVG tram line 1 -De Lijn tram line 1 (1991) -De Lijn tram line 1 (date where extensions were opened)

As for the 3rd line we can place a cat see also in each sub-folder for easier navigation.

See also categories: MIVG tram line 1, De Lijn tram line 1 (1991), De Lijn tram line (extension 1) and De Lijn tram line (extension 2).

If you agree, I can give it a try for the 1st line and see what it looks like ?

Also, the 1st line only seemed to have ben extended to Evergem and Flanders Expo, is that right ?

Dldwg

Line numbering

Historicaly line numbers have shifted:

• The original tramline 1 (from 1931) ran from Moscow (now line 4 from 1984) to Van Beverenplein. From 1984 partial service line numbers where created:
  • Line 11: Sint-Pietersstation - Van Beverenplein
  • Line 12: Sint-Pietersstation - Korenmarkt
  • Lijn 10: Sint-Pietersstation - Wondelgem-Industrieweg (from 1989)
  • 2004: The line numbers where reduced to the line number 1 with the use of destination boards
• The original tramline 3 (until 1969) was replaced by the buses 30/31 and then in 1989 by trolleybus line 3 until 2009.
• Line 4: Before 1984 it was Sint-Pietersstation - Korenmarkt - Muide. From 1984 on it took over the tram line 10 Sint-Pietersstation - Muide (via Rabot) and took over the tram line 1 between Korenmarkt and Moscow. As with tram line 1, this tram line has also known the partial variants 40, 41, 42 and 43.

For the history of line numbers you can consult the Dutch articles: nl:Tramlijn 1 (Gent) and nl:Tramlijn 4 (Gent). The biggest risc of confusion is with tram line 10:

I would suggest to rename (MIVG tram line 10) to (MIVG tram line 10 Sint-Pieters Muide). Trams with line numbers 10, 11 and 12 (after 1984) I would classify as line 1 and explain in the category description wat is going on. As far as I know their are no pictures of these lines, but they my turn up in the future.Smiley.toerist (talk) 14:35, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

File:UAZ-452 in Barentsburg, Svalbard.jpg

Look at this revision, please. I didn't managed this movement. I'm cleaning redirected categories only, because they should be empty. Look at effects of your edit here, please... Is it what you would like to achieve?

Good luck! Wieralee (talk) 09:47, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

There is a major difference between ´in a country´ and ´of a country´. The first one is a pure geografic classification. All vehicles present in the country whatever their origin. The second one means original from that country, but it does not mean it has to be present in the country. The Sovjet Union is no longer, so al pictures taken after 1991 must be ´of the Sovjet Union´ meaning Sovjet origin. Only pictures taken before 1992 taken ´´´in´´´ the Sovjet Union can be classified as such. (Maybe with the exception of out of use vehicles in a museum) You should treat the Sovjet Union the same way as Austria-Hungary or any other ex country. It is preferable to use the Russian categories for most cases of geografic identifation, as their is no posible confusion wathever the date. If the vehicle is of Sovjet Union (built/origin) you can use the category of the Sovjet Union. These can then be photografed anywhere in the world. Aother example: File:Herzele t'Uilekot en buurtspoorwegstation-3.jpg I cant classify this under (Trams in Brussels) as this is in Herzele, but I did put it under (Old and heritage trams from Brussels). The use of the word ´from´ clearer in this case.Smiley.toerist (talk) 11:01, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

• @Smiley.toerist: REDIRECTED CATEGORIES SHOULD BE EMPTY. Wieralee (talk) 11:39, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I disagree with the redirect, most images should remain in the category of the Sovjet Union see arguments above. I started a discussion in the Village Pump: [6]. Maybe the category should be renamed: Vehicles from the Soviet Union. You really cant have recent images of vehicles in an non-existing country!Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:20, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
• @Smiley.toerist: you should talk to User:Verdy p who has moved the category. You can change its placement, but don't put files in redirected categories, please.

I only care for redirected categories. Files in such categories are hidden: nobody can see them. Wieralee (talk) 12:24, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

I removed the redirect so it is no longer a redirected category. I asked for a rename. In the other category most are old pictures or pictures of Sovjet era vehicles in museums (in ex Sovjet Union).Smiley.toerist (talk) 14:34, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Now in the Category:Vehicles in Norway as Barentsburg is in Svalbard, Norway. Category:UAZ-452 is Soviet Union vehicle. So both geografic and type vehicle categories are correct. Case closed.Smiley.toerist (talk) 19:53, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
