Hoi,
There is an excuse. You may know those categories, I do not and I do not
even try to find images in Commons for my blog. It is too hard to find
things. The search is neither efficient nor intuitive.
For me Commons and Wikisource could do with an abundant sprinkling of
improved user interface. It is geared up for people adding data not really
for people using data. The approach is way too dogmatic as well. So no,
thank you.
Thanks,
GerardM
