Hi Yaroslav,
I think that expanding the image tree makes a lot of sense. However,
perhaps
it makes more sense to expand from Buildings in Middelburg - then to
streets
- then to houses. It would make more sense to me to have a category
"Buildings in Middelburg", "Buildings in Lange Noordstraat,
Middelburg"
and
then "Lange Noordstraat 23, Middelburg". In
very big cities, you might
want
to add a layer of city-areas (in Amsterdam for
example).
However, I don't know what would be a useful threshold to create a
category
(both for streets and per building) - perhaps a more
experienced Commons
user can make a useful suggestion to that. My gut feeling would be that
we
would only create categories for five or more images,
but I can be wrong
there.
Lodewijk
I perfectly agree with everything you write, and five images was also my
personal suggestion for the threshold (I believe some exceptions can be
make for somehow famous buildings). Right now we have most of the images
sitting just in general categories "RM in the Netherlands" or at best "RM
in city X". There is a lot of work ahead of us to categorize them also
along usual lines like towns -> streets -> buildings.
Cheers
Yaroslav
