I'm not sure about the road signs of aircraft though. Should it be aircraft road signs? CambridgeBayWeather 04:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe Road signs with aircraft or Aircraft on road signs? --rimshottalk 07:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- It shouldn't be "aircraft road signs" as that makes me think of road signs for aircraft. I would stick with Category:Road sings of aircraft. However, I think it should match Category:Silhouettes of aircrafts/Category:Aircraft silhouettes too. Rocket000 22:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Actually, I just found Category:Aircraft in graphics.. maybe it should be "Aircraft in road signs"? I'm going to move Category:Silhouettes of aircrafts to Category:Aircraft silhouettes (over redirect) to match Category:Aircraft icons, Category:Aircraft profiles, and Category:Aircraft line drawings among others. Rocket000 22:36, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- And now I merged Category:Aircraft in graphics and Category:Aircraft in art. Rocket000 23:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- I've nominated all but Road signs of aircrafts for being moved. --rimshottalk 12:10, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm went with Category:Road signs of aircraft for now. Even though the majority are "____ road signs", "Aircraft road signs" just doesn't sound right given that it's a object of transportation itself. "Aircraft on road signs" is probably the best name, but this way it matches things like Category:Road signs of children and Category:Road signs of pedestrians. Rocket000 17:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Categories renamed. Rocket000 18:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Wrong English, the plural should be "Category:Galleries". This also applies to the subcategories. --AndreasPraefcke 12:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Certainly move this, this shouldn't even require discussion. - Jmabel ! talk 03:48, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Deleted by Bayo. Reason: Empty category. Rocket000 18:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Empty category about a subject that doesn't even get mentioned in any article on en:, let alone have its own article. 71.224.237.245 04:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Delete, as empty. As it stands now, it's an article stub and Commons doesn't contain articles. --rimshottalk 08:25, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Deleted. as empty category. Rocket000 18:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
A more polite and more official term would be Category:Deceased people or something similar. This just seems a bit gruff and impolite to me. --Patstuart (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Oppose. Dead is the technical, neutral term to decribe the state of having died. Also, it is one of the first words that English-learners learn, so that it makes the category as usable for non-native speakers as possible.- Something different, though: I think that no category or page about a person should be a direct child of Category:Dead people. Being in the corresponding deaths by year-category should be enough. That should clean up the category quite a bit. --rimshottalk 16:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose. Dead is simply correct; agree completely with Rimshot. - Jmabel ! talk 03:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't think "inscripted" is correct English. Should be "inscribed", no? --Jmabel ! talk 03:40, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, inscribed is correct, there's no such word as inscript. --rimshottalk 08:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Moved; former category deleted. 哦，是吗？(висчвын) 21:04, 18 May 2008 (GMT)
This category should be moved to Category:Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom as in Britain, the title of Prime Minister is always spelled with a capital 'P' and 'M'. --Philip Stevens 06:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Makes sense. Any objections? --rimshottalk 10:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Don't care, really, where we put this, but I believe the title is not always capitalized, it depends on context. It is capitalized more often than most job titles, but see, for example this passage from Encyclopedia Britannica. - Jmabel ! talk 03:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Moved; former category left a redirect. --O (谈 • висчвын) 03:40, 26 May 2008 (GMT)
While I am senstive to the fact that we have a female politicians category, it is more remarkable in the world to have a female politician. This category is simply too all-encompassing - 80% of the people who would be in this category (which is unmaintainable, as can be seen in that no one has filled it in 4 months) can simply be found under Category:Politicians. In short, this category does nothing to help with navigation. --Patstuart (talk) 06:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- It is the natural complement for "female" politicians, and between the two there is 100% coverage and 0% ambiguity, whereas deleting it would require other information to be obtained to determine the gender. However, if the commons project members think that the male version is overcategorization, so be it. -- Avi 08:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- I don't have a problem with it, and it seems to be a good subcategory for Category:Men by occupation. I wouldn't say there is no ambiguity though; what about transgender politicians?
- On the other hand, Wikipedia doesn't seem to have an analogous category, and wouldn't most pictures be enough in themselves to determine the gender? Richard001 01:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
It was reported at the help desk that this category and Category:Wrangell-St. Elias National Park seem to be about the same subject. I agree with Ibn Battuta that they probably should be merged into one category, but I'm not sure what the best title for the category would be. --Gestumblindi 00:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think that the name of the category should be identical to the official name of the NPS. 84.110.205.201 21:36, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Merged to Category:Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, kept the other one as a redirect. --rimshottalk 11:44, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
and
Shouldn't this be Category:Nautical signal flags? The extra capital letters seem superfluous. --Jmabel ! talk 05:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Almost did this change, but what about calling it International maritime signal flags? There's also the gallery of the same name to consider, along with Maritime Weather Warning Flags and Category:International Code of Signals. "Signal" may be appropriately capitalized, in some situations. See en:International Code of Signals. Rocket000 18:28, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- I was working on the category:Ship parts and extended the category:Nautical equipment. Tried to group all this equipment and found a page and two groups with these flags:
I tried to make a logical structure by making series of International Code of Signals by type of file. International code by International code and the rest in Nautical Sgnal Flags. In that case we get:
- Nautical flags
- Martime ensigns
- Naval ensigns
- Civil and merchant ensigns
- Nautical Signal Flags
- Diver flag
- International Code of Signals
- Series 1
- Series 2
- Series 3
- Series 4
- Ship dressing
- Yacht club flags
- Martime ensigns
What about? --Stunteltje (talk) 19:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
The following is moved from the December 2008 page.
one page and two categories for the same flags. There are:
Suggestion: all grouped in new category with the various versions of the series in Category:Nautical signal flags with remarks about the standardisation in the Category:International Code of Signals. --Stunteltje (talk) 07:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)]] ===
Nautical Signal Flags --Stunteltje (talk) 07:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
