Prince Harry and the Sidney Opera House

Hi, if the opera house is not visible, it should not be categorized. Sidney Harbour is also not visible: should we also add it as a category here? Seriously? --Cosal (talk) 17:45, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

It doesn’t have to be visible, it was the location where the photographs were taken *sigh*. Also Sydney isn’t Sidney. Bidgee (talk) 22:12, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

A selfie! on Commons? categorized as you insist? be serious. --Cosal (talk) 13:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

You called it a "a personal selfie"! It clearly isn't, someone else (possibly media) is taking a photo and it was a public event. *sigh* Bidgee (talk) 02:49, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Beautiful plane photos

Hi Bidgee, just want to say that your plane shots are amazing. Goodness, I can't achieve shots like that with a crap lens that i busted. Keep up the great work, cheers --Nim Bhharathhan (talk) 17:55, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

I'd second this - you're doing yet more great work with those drone photos. Thanks so much. Nick-D (talk) 08:47, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Mongol gif

Why are you insisting on the 2006 edition? It obviously does not have South Sudan, makes the "modern map" not modern at all. Flix11 (talk) 12:42, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Memorial Airfield

revert - I thought a "Memorial Airfield" name means an open-air museum, sorry. --Figure19 (talk) 14:38, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

identity

Hi Bidgee - I've moved File:Corellas in tree Redcliffe-2= (6188459104).jpg from Category:Cacatua sanguinea (where you'd placed it) to Category:Cacatua tenuirostris (feral) on the basis of that incredibly long bill, and C. tenuirostris being cited as feral in the Brisbane area. I could be wrong, though; could you check please, and undo if I'm wrong. If I am wrong, I'd appreciate some info on why; I'm struggling to understand how corellas can be identified, if birds with abnormal bills occur, as they can do in so many other species. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 20:43, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Small world

I was quietly minding my own business, scanning Facebook, when someone in a local plane-spotters group for Birmingham posted a link to this:

https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/first-british-e-7-wedgetail-aircraft-coming-together/

and look! there's one of your photos. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:52, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi. To flag that I have started a conversation with regard to their actions being unilateral rather than broadly aligned with policy, typically with regard to moves and file overwrites.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:09, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
