The correct category name should be Category:Trillium vaseyi, per the PLANTS database. --Choess 22:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Le renommage de la catégorie ne me pose aucun problème. J'ai créé beaucoup de catégorie sans connaitre parfaitement les dénominations internationales. Cordialement --P@d@w@ne 13:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed, per database and w:Trillium vaseyi. --rimshottalk 15:00, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For consistency with the English Wikipedia I think we should rename this category Category:Books by year ([1]), and its descendant categories Category:Xth century books, as opposed to Category:Books made in the Xth century. Given that Category:Books by year already exists, I think they should be merged. They are both basically categories for books sorted by the time they were published. Perhaps the Wikipedia name 'year' is too specific too; Category:Books by date of publication or something like that may be better. I'll have to bring this up at en.wiki too. Richard001 11:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with eliminating the very awkward "Books made ..." titles. There are other problems that should be cleaned up. The existing Category:Incunabula should be merged with Category:XVth century books as they are identical. (My assumption is that "books" here includes only printed books, not manuscripts, which should be separately treated.) There's also Postincunabula which covers books printed from 1501-1520 (in theory). Then there's the Category:Early printed books, which could cover books through the 17th century and possibly 18th century. These need some coordination. Ecphora (talk) 13:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the problem with 'early printed books' for me is that it's one of those categories that has no Wikipedia analogue and no description, so what an 'early book' is seems totally subjective. If Wikipedia (despite its generally larger number of book categories than us) doesn't have such a category, which it doesn't, then I don't see why we need one, and would support a deletion nomination for it. Richard001 (talk) 08:57, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense. If there are categories for books by century, then there's no need for early printed books category. Ecphora (talk) 12:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that a classification by century is much more useful than a classification by years. What en.wp is doing is irrelevant to what we do here. Yann (talk) 13:49, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What Wikipedia does is entirely relevant to what we do here. Unless there is a specific reason why the situation is different, we should both be doing the same thing. Richard001 (talk) 07:50, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oblivious to this discussion, I've been rolling out more general parent categories for text (i.e. books, journals, newspapers, etc) using Category:Texts by century, Category:19th century texts, etcetera. I favour the books-by-century category conforming with that, although I'm not much fussed. Hesperian 23:57, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]


I am doing the original moves to remove the awkward "made" wording (from Category:Books by century made and its subcats). For the rest, another COM:CFD can be opened or a request at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. Wknight94 talk 10:40, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and move contents to Category:Wrexham F.C., the name currently used by the club. --Small-town hero 19:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Kept as a redirect, just in case. --rimshottalk 14:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Churches in the United Kingdom

[edit]

Change "of" to "in" per parent category and all other subcats. The Sheffield category contains an image of a mosque which should be categorized elsewhere. --Small-town hero 17:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Moved and redirected as above. Non-admin closure. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This category appears to be a random collection of people and other items that have "Wainwright" in their names. Delete. - EurekaLott 15:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete I can't see how that could be helpful. lol Rocket000 06:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On en.wikipedia the page Wainwright is a disambiguation page. Perhaps this should be turned into one too? Richard001 09:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be renamed to Category:Tropical Storm Alma (2008), since the depression strengthened enough to earn a name. --Hurricanehink 22:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The category now redirects to Category:2008 Pacific hurricane season. Does that make any sense, or should it be changed to point to Category:Tropical Storm Alma (2008)? --rimshottalk 15:02, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now redirected to Category:Tropical Storm Alma (2008). --rimshottalk 15:26, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category was improperly named. I have created Category:Mountains of the Yukon and moved all pages and subcats to it. RedWolf 17:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
