Hello, I'm Sbb1413 from Hooghly district, West Bengal, India. I am a categorizer, uploader, graphic designer, and photographer in Wikimedia Commons. If you have any problems with my contributions to Commons, please leave me a note at User talk:Sbb1413 and I will try my best to fix any problems. However, I won't recommend using templates to warn me; instead, try using your own words.

Interests

My primary interests in Commons include, but are not limited to, Cities, Culture, Transport, Space exploration Cartography, Languages, People, etc. I focus mostly on India, especially West Bengal. I have also started focusing on the United States, especially urban areas.

Role

As mentioned, I am a categorizer, uploader, graphic designer, and photographer in Commons. On one hand, I upload free and necessary images for all versions of Wikipedia, which can be my work or someone else's work. On the other hand, I request to delete suspicious images (copyvio, out of scope, etc.). I also categorize free images into appropriate categories per COM:CAT.

Most of my works can be found at Files created by Sbb1413 and are labelled with the template {{Sbb1413}}.

Photography

I love photography. I have travelled to numerous places within India and taken photographs of them. However, due to workload and privacy, I cannot upload many of them. Instead, I have focused on categorising existing images.

Terminology disputes

Here are some of the terminology disputes I've involved in. In these cases, I've made many proposals to either redefine the terms or abolish their use, and some agree on my proposals while others disagreeing. I've left the links here for potential users visiting my user page.

Note on nudity

Despite depicting nudity, this picture is one of the rare cases where I've managed to tolerate nudity.

Although I may often work on categories related to nudity, I personally don't tolerate nude people (except small children and topless males). However, I believe that Wikimedia projects are not censored. So, I make sure the media depicting nudity are given dedicated categories to avoid intolerant users like me facing media depicting nudity.
