Topic on User talk:Harmonia Amanda

Hi. Can you please kindly correct your mistake about this item at Commons? (I am not editing there.) Merci beaucoup.

It would probably be easier if you tell me what the mistake is. All Wikipedias I can understand say she is German-Turkish, playing for Turkey, which is not contradicted in your source and neither on Commons.

When you see the Turkish flag on her football shirt and make this edit (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Melike_Pekel&diff=346514513&oldid=312849109) it is either a mistake or a conscious personal preference. I am not accusing you of anything but am asking you to be more careful about your edits; especially when you proudly declare you are an admin. That is all. Best regards.

I didn't see the flag on her shirt. I haven't opened her category before and don't know her at all. I ran a query about all German sportspeople to populate the category. She was a line among thousands of lines, and the edits where all made using QuickCategories, which is not showing any picture.

She is German, so the data is not wrong, so I'm not sure what is there to fix. When I started working on sports categories on Commons (for figure skating, where it's frequent that skaters represent countries they don't have the nationality of), people told me these categories where for both sports nationalities and citizenship. So as a German-Turkish footballer, she should have both categories.

It seems like you think these categories should only concern sport nationality and not citizenship (from what I understand of your writing, I may be wrong). If that's the case, that seem to me like a really big change in scope, which should be discussed expansively on Commons (where I'm not an admin, by the way). It would not take long to query people categorized in 'wrong' categories, and to delete these, but such a massive change on how Commons handle things should definitely be discussed first.

And I'm not sure why we are discussing on Wikidata what is a Commons issue? I thought at first you wanted to correct a data error here but it seem like what you disagree with is mostly Commons policy? (and by the way, I would approve a clear separation about sport nationalities and citizenship in Commons categories; I just think a change of scope so massive should be discussed and not decided on an user talk page in another project).

By the way that's all the people categorized in "Sportspeople from Germany" on Commons without having Germany as their sport nationality: Petscan. If you want to 'correct' that without discussing it first, you can.
