Uploaders often have schemas naming their files moving files might break them. Not of less importance is the purpose the filename is believed to have contributors frequently categorizing files have different demands from those who create, process, manage and upload them.

Whether a filename is perceived to be suitable often depends on the familiarity of the individual with the subject, which is often the place depicted.
