Listing of tags | Gwulo: Old Hong Kong

Listing of tags

Hi,

I am working with a colleague who is keen to tag the photos he plans to upload with appropriate tags. We have read the recommendations about tagging, but wondered whether there is anywhere on GWULO that we can view all available tags and make sensible choices rather than running the risk of creating new tags when suitable ones already exist.

Thanks,

David

Forum: 

There wasn't, but it'll be a useful tool to have so I've made a simple page at:

You're a star, David - many thanks for such a quick and helpful response! Even at first glance, the list is looking useful, showing French (or maybe Portuguese?) spellings of month names and other possible typos which could otherwise have remained hidden.

David

Glad to hear it's helpful, and I'm looking forward to seeing your colleague's photos.

Regards, David

Hi David,

what about Harmonisation of Tags? I know it's a really big challenge, but why not trying at least some of them? I looked e.g. for "pier" and found at least a couple of them that could be harmonised (like Old Vehicular Ferry Pier ( 1 entry) and Vehicular Ferry Pier (28 entries)).

Regards, Klaus

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for those, I've merged them. If you find any other obvious duplicates, please let me know.

Regards, David

I've merged the last five - 'landslide' on. Will do the rest later.

Next 5 merged: Wan Chai Government School and following.

Hi Klaus,

I've merged "aerial" into "aerial photographs", and also merged the other duplicate tags you listed above.

Regards, David

Hi David,

in case of boredom due to quarantine, here are some tags for harmonization. Just decide which are worth it.

Regards, Klaus
