Retired[edit]

I have no energy left, and while a contributor undoes all the category structure that has taken time to do, I no longer have the motivation to continuing to contribute to Commons. It is time for me to move on. I may or may not return at a later date, it really depends. Bidgee (talk) 08:41, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Whatever exactly makes you retire, it would be very pity, take a break and come back! If your issue is about categories, maybe I can help resolve? Regards --A.Savin 16:00, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for your huge contributions here. I agree that Commons is terrible at handling aggressive contributors. Nick-D (talk) 10:12, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Whatever the reason, a kind message of support for you PierreSelim (talk) 11:45, 11 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for the kind words, I’ve been looking at some edits on my photos by the user (will say it isn’t the one who I accidentally reverted) and they have completely destroyed the category structure that it doesn’t even match the global structure that I had put time and energy into. While I’m ‘back’ today, it is just calling in and I don’t have the energy or time to undo the damage done by the user. Bidgee (talk) 00:06, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I love your Wagga photos + some inquiries[edit]

Hi Bidgee,

First of all, I'd just like to say I'm a big fan of your Wagga Wagga photography and its coverage, as I too have a great love for the city of Wagga. Recently, I was particularly impressed by this photo you took from Willans Hill, as it showcases a stunning view of Wagga and all its major landmarks.

Wagga Wagga from Willans Hill.

I was just wondering whether you have an aerial photo of Wagga showing the southern side of Henry's Tunnel at Willans Hill (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipMZ_CGY0txRAMSKMbG6hk3UdC2gCnmUW3fiFeMw=s680-w680-h510), and whether you have a photo of a steam train crossing the Tarcutta Street bridge.

Kind regards, MrMosely. MrMosely (talk) 22:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
