Greetings,
I am a freelance architect and quite a new Wikimedia Contributor. For the last months
I'm working on a project, together with some other friends, that document all the
forgoten, neglected buildings in the city of Tirana (Albania) through making the community
contribute to the further development of it. You can learn more about the project by
visiting
https://preservingtirana.city/, which is build based on open source tools and
hosted on GitHub:
https://github.com/JoraKasapi/PreservingTirana. An important element of
the documentation process of these old historical buildings are also the photos taken by
myself and other contributors of the project.
We thought to use Wikimedia Commons to add all the photos of these old buildings of Tirana
wich have a certain architectural and historic importance.
I have already added some of the photos in different subcategories, which you can find
here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Old_historical_buildings_of_Tir…
I have used 'Old historical buildings of Tirana' as the main category where the
photos are at the moment and different subcategories for each building. Each subcategory
would have different photos of that certain building where everybody can add even more
photos for this subcategory. The name of the buildings are not the official ones (simply
because most of them don't have official names) .This is more or less the way we
thought the categorisation and subcategorisation in Wikimedia Commons, would work for the
project.
At this point we would really want your opinion if this is the right way to do it, or if
it's alowed according to the way you generally proceed. I have this project
particularly at heart so I would really appreciate your reply as soon as you read this
email, without bothering to much of course.
Thank you in advance and kind regards!
Best,
Jora
