Hi Ad Meskens, Thank you so much for your great photo The Descent of the Holy Spirit! We have used it today 7th April 2024 on https://unificationnews.eu/amazing-parallels-to-jesus-and-holy-spirit/ All the best, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredinne (talk • contribs) 19:46, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello, thank you for sharing your dolphin photo https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Plettenberg_Bay_Dolphins_09.jpg I have used it in an educational children's music video and credited you as #10 in the description under the video. You can find it on You_Tube, entitled "Dolphin performed by dhruva'." The spam filter would not let me include the link here.

Hallo Ad Meskens, ik vroeg me af waarom je "Tongeren" in de filenaam opnam. Bevindt zich dit beeldje nu in een museum in Tongeren misschien? Thanks. Lotje (talk) 04:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Beste Lotje,
De foto is in het Gallo-Romeins museum genomen vandaar.
Ad Meskens (talk) 16:50, 9 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Dankjewel Ad Meskens. Is dit het logo van het museum? Zo ja kan de afbeelding worden toegevoegd aan Gallo-Roman Museum (Q1492516). Lotje (talk) 04:15, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Beste Lotje, het was een tijdelijke tentoonstelling. Zie Category:Exhibition - Sagalassos, city of dreams (Gallo-Romeins Museum Tongeren).

Florida book

Hello Ad Meskens, I am currently writing a book about places that we've visited in Florida and there's a chapter on Kennedy Space Center. I came across your beautiful photo of the Space Mirror at Sunset and wondered if I could use it as one of the illustrations to the chapter. I will of course, provide the appropriate credit of (c) Ad Meskens/Wikimedia Commons, which I hope will be acceptable to you. Please let me know if you require further details.

How to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category

[edit]

When you want to ask for speedy-delete of an empty category, best practice is to mark it with {{SD|C2}} if it would be OK to re-create it in the future, given that appropriate content becomes available or {{SD|C1}} if it is an inappropriate category name that should not be reused. In particular, this is better practice than just blanking the category page, as you did at Category:Bombardier Challenger 604 at Antwerp Airport during Stampe Fly In 2023. ("C1" and "C2" come from Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion). Jmabel ! talk 22:05, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
