I don't really care which of these is merged into the other, but clearly they should be merged. Both are heavily populated, and mean exactly the same thing. -- Jmabel ! talk 00:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are many San Francisco's all over the world, so there is not really a choice. --Foroa (talk) 06:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons for discussion request --

This and Category:Monotropa hypopithys refer to the same species.

The question is which name we should use. I quote from something I recently wrote in en:Monotropa hypopitys:

:The species name is from [[Latin]]ized [[:en:Greek language|Greek]] ''hypo-'', "under", and ''pitys'', "[[pine]]", referring to where the Pinesap often grows.<ref>[http://www.ipni.org/ipni/idPlantNameSearch.do?id=163883-2&back_page=%2Fipni%2FeditSimplePlantNameSearch.do%3Ffind_wholeName%3DMonotropa%2Bhypopitys%26output_format%3Dnormal IPNI Plant Name Details] (2005). Retrieved on 2009-08-08.</ref> However, [[Linnaeus]] misspelled it ''hypopithys''.

I have a slight preference for hypopitys. JerryFriedman (talk) 03:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sources I checked used M. hypopithys, hence my confusion, but your sources look good to me. In any case, it is better to have them all in one category and gallery with redirects. Thank you, Walter Siegmund (talk) 03:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the "πίτυς - argument" also. Greetings. Orchi (talk) 10:31, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soft redirected Category:Monotropa hypopithys to Category:Monotropa hypopitys; redirected Monotropa hypopithys, also. Walter Siegmund (talk) 22:18, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Folksingers or Category:Folk singers should be merged. --Diwas (talk) 19:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Following categories should named in the same form: Category:Folk singers from the Turkey Category:Folk singers from the United States Category:Folksingers by country Category:Folksingers from the Czech Republic--Diwas (talk) 20:22, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think "folksinger" is more common. - Jmabel ! talk 00:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am german and I don't know what is the better name, but the en-wiki category is named w:Category:Folk singers --Diwas (talk) 20:35, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Folk singers per Diwas. Wknight94 talk 03:29, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is to do now?--Diwas (talk) 09:50, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]


✓ Done Category:Folksingers was merged into Category:Folk singers. --GeorgHHtalk   14:18, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Somewhat in the same vein of the "Interstate highways in New York" CFD that I filed in July, the name of this category should have a capital "H". In addition, the true name of this category should be Category:Road maps of Interstate Highways in New York, both to comply with en.wiki category naming conventions (since that's cited as a base for commons naming conventions) and to fully reflect its status as a subcategory of Road maps in New York. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 19:38, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since this is fairly uncontroversial and there has been no opposition to this proposal, I have filed a request for moving the cat here. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 00:04, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Done, uncontroversial. --rimshottalk 22:31, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion of one or several categories is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.

I humbly think that this category is unnecesary. Queso means Cheese in spanish so that we should categorize in Category:Cheese, moreover, the Category:Queso is categorized in Category:Cheese from Asturies which is wrong since all the cheese does not come from Asturies. Actually all the articles this category hosts, fits perfectly into Category:Cheese from Asturies so I'd advocate to move the articles from that category to Category:Cheese from Asturies and delete the Category:Queso.

I think the common name for Category:Half profile and Category:Three-quarter profile is Category:Three-quarter views. I suggest a merge of both categories into new Category:Three-quarter views --Diwas (talk) 13:03, 23 August 2009 (UTC)--Diwas (talk) 13:13, 23 August 2009 (UTC) (Note: there are subcategories)--Diwas (talk) 13:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The creator say ACK, w:Talk:Portrait painting and The Getty (1) The Getty (2) says the same.--Diwas (talk) 09:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Closing old thread. To rename the categories, please make the corresponding rename requests at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. -- User:Docu at 14:07, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
