probably no need for a "baseball bicep" tag

https://www.girlswithmuscle.com/images/?tags=...

while we're on the subject we have "baseball" and "baseball bat" tags.

Dancing/dancer.

Most of the "dancer" tags are not professional dancers , for example, and if they were, they can be added as a model tag.

Should Persian and Iranian be merged?

"arms folded" and "crossed arms"

Lots of tags around different types of dresses can probably be one "dress" tag.

What's happening in this thread? I'm making suggestions that I think make sense, I'm seeing suggestions of others that make sense too. But several times the tags aren't merged. Haven't the mods seen these suggestions? Have they seen them, but did they think the tags shouldn't be merged?

Don't know if related, but wth is "mind the gap"?? Someone's playful whimsical view of describing "thigh gap" by the looks of it?!? It's ridiculous, nobody knows what it means, just use proper descriptions. Merge them.

"growth" / "transformation/progress"

"rugby" and "rugby player"

"rugby" and "rugby player"

This one will not be a merge. There are two different intents here. One describes the person and the other the activity. You can have a rugby player as a description of the person, while rugby is reserved for photos where rugby is being played.

hey i just realized there's no archery/bow and arrow tag. was there one before that got merged into something?

It appears to be 'bow' now.

oh -- i think archery/bow and arrow is a much better tag because 'bow' could be construed as the hair accessory.

"pec flex" and "pec flex/bouncing"

And this may be my last suggestion, as nothing was done with my previous suggestions (and also not with my question why nothing was done with my suggestions) and I'm not really interested in wasting my time.

I just addressed “arms folded” and "hair braid", "braids" and "braid". “Cooking” and ”food preparation” was done already.

Those comments date from the beginning of August. That’s roughly a month ago. What amount of time would you consider it acceptable to address thread comments?

I can’t speak for the others, but this is volunteer effort and I just returned from a period of travel.

The moderators have various queues of actions that demand attention and decision-making. Not all mods address all things, most have a particular area of focus. We get to all of it when we can. If participating here and making suggestions conflicts with anyone’s life priorities, then I certainly would advise a break.

We've got "mirror" , "Mirror flex" "Mirror selfie/recording" - For the coincidental composed images we've already got "non selfie mirror" eg tagged just mirror (actually mostly "Mirror selfie/recording"):

Thank you! What about "growth" and "transformation/progress"?

A couple of days? That's usually how fast mods react to a report. But for example "rugby" was realized after I posted my suggestions, and I think it would be unlikely that you would go back in the list to see if any requests had been left unanswered.

I think it will not be a surpise to you that my suggestions (and those of other users) are also a volunteer effort.

So, what would you advise? Keep posting suggestions and accept that they may not be seen (or maybe they are seen, but not realized)? Keep an administration of what I have asked, and what has been realized and what not and regularly bring this to your attention (you can probably guess this isn't my preferred option)?

That is not as clear cut and requires some evaluation. Some tag merges require deconflicting. A good example of this was when “double biceps flex“ and “front double biceps“ were merged. In this particular case, I’m not even certain yet if this merge is a good idea because I haven’t yet looked at the batches of images tagged with those items. There’s a group of moderators who focus on tagging, and merges involving hundreds or even thousands of images will require some behind-the-scenes discussion/evaluation. This takes time.

Again, some of these are more obvious, quick and/or easy than others.

I think it will not be a surpise to you that my suggestions (and those of other users) are also a volunteer effort.

No, the volunteer effort is not a surprise, and it is quite welcome. However, your issuing an ultimatum that your contributions are contingent on a response within a few days was indeed a surprise. That’s a bit more responsibility than what I signed up for.

I would advise being patient while contributing in a way that makes you happy. Sometimes we overlook things. Sometimes we get busy with other areas of the site and can’t get to some tasks right away. Sometimes we get diverted with real world responsibilities.

In my opinion, your contributions are most welcome and I hope you continue. I have approached this thread as a general area for brainstorming and sometimes as a “to do“ list as time allows. I have not really viewed it as particularly time sensitive, because the comments and suggestions are preserved here in the thread since the very beginning.

If you think we are missing/overlooking something, or if my particular approach can improve, then I welcome your suggestions.

“Glam” and “glamour.” Awesome tags in need of merging.

“Glam” and “glamour.” Awesome tags in need of merging.

Are you sure? Do you use these tags? What are these items supposed to mean?

“Glam” seems to be used on images focusing on make up and sparkles.

“Glamour” seems to associate with dresses and heels.

“cold plunge” and “ice bath” ➡️ “ice bath / cold plunge”

I appreciate this level of nuance. I had started a tag for "stock photo" to indicate photos from agencies such as stockphoto.com (hence the tag), where the model is almost always going to be anonymous. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this was rolled up into "photoshoot", which I believe has become so inclusive as to be almost useless. Can this possibly be reversed?

Can you provide a few examples of such stock photos?
