Comcat Update? category:Diagrams_about_the_COVID-19_pandemic?uselang=ja
Hi, Minorax, great work you contribute esp for readers coming to wikimedia projects to cope with uncertainties. That said, can we update a link in your recent edit? Because I originally added that link, Commons recategorized, and people are not always aware if language switch which is better if a reader doesn’t read English very much.
Is it ok I update the link to the following? I wish we are amicable and agree on our best effort, shall we?

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2020-16
The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article! _protective_mask,_Oude_Pekela_(2020)_01.jpg) A cloth facemask is a mask made of common textiles worn over the mouth and nose. Unlike surgical masks and respirators such as N95 masks, they are not subject to regulation, and there is currently little research or guidance on their effectiveness as a protective measure against infectious disease transmission or particulate air pollution. They were routinely used by healthcare workers from the mid 19th century until the mid 20th century. In the 1960s they fell out of use in the developed world in favor of modern surgical masks, but their use has persisted in developing countries. During the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, their use in developed countries was revived as a last resort due to shortages of surgical masks and respirators.

The winner this Translation of the week is Please be bold and help to translation this article!  Garúa is a Spanish word meaning drizzle or mist. Although used in other contexts in the Spanish-speaking world, garúa most importantly refers to the moist cold fog that blankets the coasts of Peru and northern Chile, especially during the southern hemisphere winter. Garúa is called Camanchaca in Chile. Garúa brings mild temperatures and high humidity to a tropical coastal desert. It also provides moisture from fog and mist to a nearly-rainless region and permits the existence of vegetated fog oases, called lomas. While fog and drizzle are common in many coastal areas around the world, the prevalence and persistence of garúa and its impact on climate and the environment make it unique (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

Thank you for assisting with administration
You provided advice about organizing the meeting notes for our Wikimedia community organization, discussed it with the group, waited for us to have a meeting, then when we decided the matter you executed the change. You are not even a regular attendee or participant in this group's activities, so that makes your assistance even more welcome and unexpected.
I really appreciate what you did because many of our members are members of other Wikimedia community organizations, and I hope that we can demonstrate to them a precedent and lessons learned for organizing the notes of their other groups. Thanks for the several favors you provided. You have demonstrated expertise for having the idea, good community conversation, and practical execution skills of putting everything together to make it work.

Youe request for Copyright on a promotional poster of Sridevi
It was a common practice in the Bollywood and most Indian cinema industries to post promotional posters in public and newspaper media. Pictured in those years were not copyrighted to American copyright laws. Also during the time the Indian copyright industry lacked rules of rights reproduction. There will not be any challenge from any source in regards to reproduction of this picture. Therefore, since the picture added to the article is not Vandalism and it portrays the actual beauty of the artist during her career in good faith, you must consider letting the picture stay in the article
Thanks Srajakumar (talk) 08:23, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Srajakumar: Having no clear copyright status is not an excuse to leave an image on commons. See c:Commons:Project_scope#Precautionary_principle. --Minorax (talk) 08:31, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
OK I'll add a picture from the public domain. No-one gave you the right to be as such. You are abusing a perfectly legitimate system with your peremptory aenbien authority.
- @Srajakumar: I abused nothing. This is the policy of wikimedia commons, which was determined by the community, I’m simply just telling you that a permission/source is needed as long as it isn’t your own work. Minorax (talk) 06:05, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
