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_Tirana
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
