"White Brine Cheese" - capitalized, from Bulgaria. If there is a special "white brine cheese" in Bulgaria, it may have its own cat with its "local" name; a translation into English must not cover similar cheeses from other countries. If not so, that cannot be under "Bulgaria". E4024 (talk) 08:12, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See en:Sirene. White Brine Cheese is a generic term for a cheese common in the Balkans are surrounding area, including what you call Beyaz peynir. It's a bit tricky when one kind of food comes from several countries. We could create Category:White brine cheese from Bulgaria which would solve the issue with the Bulgarian parental category, but Category:White Brine Cheese could legitimately be a child category of Category:Food of Croatia, Category:Food of Serbia, Category:Food of Romania (etc.) too. I would suggest putting Category:White Brine Cheese in Category:Food from the Balkans, and making Category:Feta and Category:Beyaz peynir subcategories. Category:White brine cheese from Bulgaria might be a good idea too. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:16, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:White Brine Cheese moved to Category:Food from the Balkans. Subcategory Category:White brine cheese from Bulgaria also created. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:58, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as redundant to Category:Bloomers, listed as a synonmy at en:Bloomers (clothing) Themightyquill (talk) 10:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reform dress is not synonymous with bloomers. There is more than bloomers categorized in the Category:Reform dress. The Category:Reform dress could be synonymous to Category:Reform clothing though. Category:Reform dress could also be renamed to Category:Reform dresses, as subcategory to the Category:Reform clothing. The movement to reform clothes was not the same in every country and every language of Wikipedia. Dress reform and reform clothing is linked to w:Victorian dress reform; de:Reformkleidung; w:Lebensreform and nl:Reformbeweging. Movements of the 19th century that were about health and fashion, lyfestyle, emancipation of women and other subjects. Not all related languages have articles on all of these subjects yet. There also seems to be little uniformity in categorization between the languages and or lack of categorization of articles and files troughout the projects. - Aiko (talk) 12:15, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Aiko. I was confused by the wikipedia article, as to whether it was using dress as in "a dress" or dress as in "clothing." If it's the latter, then can we redirect it to Category:Reform clothing? If there's a need for Category:Reform dresses is can be created separately. - Themightyquill (talk) 20:11, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This Category and all its contents. Not realistically useful for an educational purpose. Redundant to a better image. Not used or linked elsewhere. Non-educational artwork uploaded to showcase the (amateurish) artist's skills. Self-promotion. (read the accompanying text). Images of poor or mediocre quality. with better examples on the Wiki already. Text reads as if it's publication is part of some sleazy chat up line by the photographer. Comprehensive violation of several guidelines in COM:PS, COM:SCOPE, COM:NOTUSED etc. BeckenhamBear (talk) 12:24, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier discussions for reference User talk:Christian Ferrer#Deletion requests/File:Francesca (15216079527).jpg. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 12:30, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep Self promotion of course, but these are as well nice photos that can be used for educational purpose in one or several projects. Actually, this shouldn't be a CfD, but a DR on the photos of the category. BTW, COM:NOTUSED doesn't make any sense in this context. --Ruthven (msg) 12:35, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I listened to the admin's call and DR'ed the worst pic in the cat. I don't know if this is meant to be a deletion discussion but I guess we can also have some weird cats. Anyway, what I don't understand well is that this cat is under Category:Glamour models. I'm not sure if we can keep unidentified models under that cat. When you say "glamour models" the bell rings only about famous models in my mind, like those that stage Victoria's Secret products with wings etc. Maybe I'm wrong about what "glamour" means. --E4024 (talk) 13:05, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for raising the DR. I'm curious what these one or more projects are that Ruthven is suggesting? Where can these self-evidently technical failures of images, of a non-noable person be useful? These images are manifestly outside of the scope of the project. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 13:13, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep As long as the images exist in Commons, this category seems appropriate to group the photos of this specific model, even if the model is not a well known model. Category:Glamour models is directly linked to Glamour photography, article that include (or that can include) photo of unknown models. If the photos are of acceptable quality then we can keep the photos, therefore we can keep the category too. Such photo can illustrate article about Glamour photography both in Wikimedia projects or outside IMO. These photos are like Stock photos of acceptable quality, except this one, that's true IMO. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:28, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Unbelievable. Again I quote directly from policy: "An otherwise non-educational file does not acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a gallery page or in a category on Commons". Next point ALL the photos here "are of poor or mediocre quality", they are obviously so. Look at this "the fact that an unused blurred photograph could theoretically be used to illustrate an article on "Common mistakes in photography" does not mean that we should keep all blurred photographs", these photos are blurred. They would not be accepted as stock photos unless John Lennon took them. Please quit looking at thumbnails and examine them. What are you suggesting? That these photos can illustrate an article about how "not" to take a Glamour photo? Why do you feel as an Administrator you do not need to uphold policy, when you quote it to uploaders every day to justify your deletions and objections on your talk page. The policy says: Anything uploaded here which falls outside this scope COM:PS will be deleted. This is completely obviously the case here. I will be blunt, you cannot be an Administrator and wilfully ignore policy or cherry pick it so suit your own agenda. Your entitled to your opinions sure, but you are not entitled to ignore laid down policy. It is your duty as an administrator to be objective within "policy" guidelines; that is what you signed up for. If I'm wrong, quote me the policy that says so... --BeckenhamBear (talk) 18:34, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think the point is that first the photographs should be nominated for deletion in the appropriate area for doing that. Instead, you have started a discussion in the area for discussing categories. The photos may end up deleted, but as things stand, it's reasonable to have this category to contain them. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If the images are low quality and not of a notable person or otherwise of educational value, they should be deleted. That said, I agree with Christian Ferrer's first statement that we should keep the category so long as the images exist (if only to make mass deletion nominations easier). - Themightyquill (talk) 09:12, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is the difference from "medicine women"? E4024 (talk) 12:25, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note:I emptied it for deletion, because both the cat and the only file in it were under Category:Medicine women. With all the due respect, certain users make many mistakes in creating new cats which result in loss of time in more productive areas. This is not a formal complaint, and less a personal attack. We are all volunteers here and only can do something altogether.

I emptied this cat because I wanted to get it deleted. "Vegetarian" and "meatballs" sounded like oxymoron to me. (I hope oxymoron means what I imagined. If not I'm going to be funny trying to show myself knowledgeable. :) Still I brought it here in case anybody wishes to continue using this cat. IMHO we can sacrifice/prescind it. E4024 (talk) 15:55, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep It is indeed an oxymoron but it seems to be a term that vegetarians themselves use as this Google search shows. It does seem strange to me that vegetarians actually want to be reminded of a meat dish but who am I to disagree? In East and Southeast Asia, there is a whole industry churning out fake meat dishes. Unlike most vegetarian Hindus, many vegetarian Buddhist seem to relish the meat flavour and looks without the meat actually being in there. I guess the same applies to this category of fake meat. More fake meat dishes can be found at Category:Meat substitutes - Takeaway (talk) 16:15, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see that I was right in not asking directly the deletion of this cat. Let's keep it with the current population of two files. I will try to cook some vegetable meatballs in the coming days and add the pics inside. Having said that, I'm confused again. Maybe those vegetable balls should go into vegetable patties. In Turkey we have the mercimek köftesi but then maybe that would go into pulse (legume) meatballs cat. BTW we have to create and give an order to Category:Legumes by country. At present while Chile has a cat with only one file (although we might have other files here and there to populate the cat), large legume producer countries, including mine, have no "by country" cats. --E4024 (talk) 07:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@E4024: Category:Mercimek kofte can definitely go into "Vegetable patties" and not into anything meatballish as it doesn't pretend to be fake meat, or you could create "Category:Vegetable patties made from pulses" (or something like that) as a subcat of "Category:Vegetable patties" and Category:Legume-based food. If you set up a whole category chain up to the main categories for just one country, others might eventually follow if they get around categorising their country's pulse-based patties and legumes in general. ;-) I think these chats should best be held elsewhere than at "Commons:Categories for discussion" though.

Category:Düden Waterfall has been moved to this name (Category:Düden Waterfalls) by a certain user. The same user has made a cat for waterfalls in the same "city": Category:Waterfalls in Antalya. Of the three waterfalls in this city cat, only this one ends in plural? Why? If "falls" was the correct use, why did they not move the other two "waterfall" cats? I think the mistakes by a certain user are over an acceptable level. They should stop or be stopped. We are not here to always correct the mistakes of the same users who never listen to advice and recommendations. It looks like they have their "own" Commons... E4024 (talk) 11:48, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A user is not obliged to change every similar category when they make a change, so that's irrelevant. The falls at at en:Düden Waterfalls because they are apparently "a group of waterfalls." That seems reasonable to me. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:10, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Empty category, it should be delete. — Bukhari (Talk!) 09:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's empty because there is no FOP in France, and the building is still subject to copyright restrictions. So it has little or no growth potential, Dan Koehl. That said, images of the building have been uploaded repeatedly over the years.

Was speedy with rationale "Copyright violation of articles in this category, empty category, see talks here: Commons:Village pump/Copyright#Everipedia using multimedia content from this project and Commons:Village pump/Copyright#CC license, but which one?", logo is being discussed but unlikely to be deleted. - Alexis Jazz 23:05, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the discussion at the village pump is stated that nothing of Everipedia can be used for commercial purposes.

Ymnes (talk) 08:19, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That they state nothing can be used for commercial purposes does not mean it cannot (cf w:Copyfraud). If something is PD or freely licensed, their statement does not change the fact. And as they also say CC-BY-SA-4.0, one should check which statement applies, if using the statement for anything (it seems one cannot trust them regarding attribution or licences, so other factors than their statements have to be used in most cases). --LPfi (talk) 09:38, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cities and villages in Greece by regional unit is redundant with Category:Populated places in Greece by regional unit.

Seems like an unnecessary category that's nearly identical to Category:Politicians of Nigeria. Category:Political office-holders is a redirect. --ghouston (talk) 11:06, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They're not the same in theory. Some politicians never hold office: maybe because they always lose elections, maybe for other reasons. I do notice that Category:Political office-holders in Nigeria is almost all cats for specific offices: maybe it should be turned into a metacat called Category:Politicians of Nigeria by office. --Auntof6 (talk) 12:09, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I said "nearly identical" since there may be cases of politicians who never held a political office. But it's not very helpful, since most of the contents of Category:Politicians of Nigeria should probably be moved into Category:Political office-holders in Nigeria. Category:Politicians of Nigeria by office would fit in Category:Politicians by office by country, although it would only contain a few categories at the moment. I was going to say that other countries don't have such a category, but then I searched for it and there are quite a few around, like Category:Political office-holders in the United States, when there's also Category:Politicians of the United States by office. --ghouston (talk) 00:04, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Galleries is often confused with art galleries. Preferably, categories should have unambiguous names. Examples: Category:Volutes (architecture), Category:Capitals (architecture).

Hi. All the ancient (traditional) societies had a man or woman taking care of health issues (sometimes mixed with magic) called in some or another way. For example the ancient Turkish peoples had an "otacı" (healer?) which is today a brand of fine herbs ("şifalı otlar" / health-giving herbs) traditionally used for health issues. The Mapuches (indigenous peoples of Argentina and Chile) had (or perhaps still have) "machi"s, generally women. I doubt it was not a universal institution. --E4024 (talk) 05:46, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of the (equally misnamed) images in this category depicts the fictitious 'Null Island'. They show a weather buoy, Station 13010 - "Soul" - see en:Null Island, d:Q24041662, and http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=13010 Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:05, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It seems relevant to the fictious Null island, since it's used in the wikipedia article. We could make a sub-category called "Weather buoy station 13010" if you think it's important.

I think the following categories need better names:

The current names sound like the categories are about the general meaning of "companies", but they appear to be something else: they are both categorized under religious groups. Besides that, the Tuscany category is categorized under church elements, but the Lombardy category is not. If these are deleted or renamed, their parent category may also need some action. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:03, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Currently redirecting to Category:Cities of Italy in art, which seems to me to be a totally different meaning. Themightyquill (talk) 15:03, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. This cat would be for paintings in Italy that show cityscapes of any city in the world. The redirect target category would be for paintings located anywhere in the world that show Italian cities. So what to do? If this cat was depopulated before being redirected, we might want to determine whether the removed entries belonged here. If they didn't, then this could be deleted. If they did, we could decide whether to repopulate. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:55, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This category and its subcats make absolutely no sense. At least for purposes of our category structure, we should not have overlap in seasons like this. If the intended use was to have files for things happening in winter that are usually associated with spring, then there's certainly a better way to name these categories (if we need them at all). Maybe "new plant growth in winter" or something similar. FYI, this came out of a discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/01/Category:Spring 2018. Auntof6 (talk) 10:36, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

may be rename it to "Spring flowers in winter" --anro (talk) 10:45, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Panoramics and all subcategories

[edit]

I propose changing all instances of "panoramics" to "panoramic views photographs". "Panoramic" is not considered to be a noun by oxforddictionaries.com nor by merriam-webster.com. Ham II (talk) 08:05, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest changing it from "panoramics" to "panoramic photographs" instead of "panoramic views". The essence of this category is that the files in it consist of photographs which have been stitched together. The present parent category is "Category:Panoramic photography" which would also make "Category:Panoramic photographs" a logical name. - Takeaway (talk) 15:01, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy with that; "panoramic photographs" is also more precise. I've changed the nomination text. Ham II (talk) 05:59, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Takeaway: Not all panoramic photographs have been stitched. There are cameras that take panoramic photos. -- Auntof6 (talk) 22:28, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that Category:Panoramic paintings, Category:Panoramic videos‎, Panorama buildings‎ and Panoramic drawings‎ are sub-categories of Category:Panoramics. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:37, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
They should be subcategories of Category:Panoramas instead, alongside Category:Panoramic photographs. Ham II (talk) 12:26, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The noun form of panoramic is panorama (pl. panoramas). However, panoramic photographs would be suitable if separation of photographs from drawings and videos is intended. --Xeror (talk) 19:30, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What I'm proposing is a change of scope as well as a change of name for Category:Panoramics; Category:Panoramas already exists for panoramas in general, so there's no need for an additional "Panoramics" category, but there is an obvious use for a "Panoramic photographs" category. Ham II (talk) 10:25, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ham II: I'd support creating Category:Panoramic photographs (and a tree of sub-categories) and moving any non-photograph panoramas/panoramics and their categories up to Category:Panoramas. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:53, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I've made some progress here, but there is still more to be done. Themightyquill (talk) 15:53, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I support a new order in panoramas and also the new name "panoramic photographs". In the past I have been moving standard pictures - not stiched or otherwise assembled - to other categories which have been filed under panoramics as in some languages "panorama" or its derivatives also means a "nice view". I therefore strongly suggest that in the header of the category there should be a clear description of the type of photographs - stiched ones - which should be filed under this category tree. Simisa (talk) 07:28, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Simisa: Please see my earlier post below below. For stitched images we have Category:Stitched images, and some panoramic photographs that are wide views don't require stitching at all, see Category:Panoramic cameras or en:Category:Panoramic cameras. --Sitacuisses (talk) 18:23, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is still some clarification needed about the definitions and the scope of the Panoramics/Panorama categories. Since they lack category descriptions, one has to look elsewhere for a definition. According to en:Panoramic photography, the defining characteristic is the wide aspect ratio. It's not the fact that the images are stitched together. We have Category:Stitched images for that. There are panoramic cameras that don't require stitching at all, and you can also create a wide aspect ratio by cropping a single photograph. Therefore it's incorrect to place Category:Panoramic photography directly below "Category:Stitched images". Some subcategories of "Category:Stitched images" are already named "Stitched panoramics of ...". This looks like an adequate concept for categorizing the intersection between "stitched images" and "panoramic photographs".
Also, why is Category:Landscapes currently a subcategory of Category:Panoramas? --Sitacuisses (talk) 10:39, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the wide aspect ratio, and the fact that it's of a view, are the defining characteristics of a panorama. Oxforddictionaries.com gives (as meaning #1.1) "A picture or photograph containing a wide view." (Oddly, Merriam-Webster doesn't have a definition that matches this.) So I suggest that our working definition should be "views, of scenery or interiors, with a wide aspect ratio;" the question then is how do we define a wide aspect ratio. Once we've agreed on a definition of "panorama" it should be added to the header of Category:Panoramas.
Re the intersection of "stitched images" and "panoramic photographs", I think that the category tree should go Category:PanoramasCategory:Panoramic photographsCategory:Stitched panoramic photographs.
I've removed Category:Panoramas from Category:Stitched images, and Category:Landscapes from Category:Panoramas. Ham II (talk) 08:36, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that "panoramic" is an adjective and not a noun. You have "panoramic photographs" and "panoramas" - both correct. Since this is the English Wikipedia, I think we should use English. Bubba73 (talk) 22:51, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

...

most cats currently present will be moved to "panoramic photographs of ...". it will take a long time to finish moving.--RZuo (talk) 21:41, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

notes
  1. subcats should use "of" as preposition (similar to subcats of Category:Photographs by country Category:Views by country Category:Paintings by depicted country), e.g. Category:Panoramas of New York City.
    existing cats using "in" should be moved and become redirects to using "of", e.g. Category:Panoramas in Belgium redirects to Category:Panoramas of Belgium.
  2. subcats of Category:Panoramic videos should use "from" as preposition to conform to the format of Category:Videos by country.

What is the scope of the subcategories here? If it's flowers photographed in the specified season, then the general categories for species need to be removed because their content is not restricted by season and may not even show flowers. If the scope is plants that bloom in the specified season but the photographs may have been taken at other times, or something else, then other content changes may be appropriate. Whatever the case, we need the scope stated in the category descriptions. Auntof6 (talk) 16:51, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As this is a subcategory of Category:Flowers, it should contain pictures of flowers blooming in specified seasons. You are right about the species categories (they were added by different users). Maybe the species categories include subcategories concerning just the flowers, these can be included here. --Thiotrix (talk) 17:05, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Such subcategories could be included if they are season-specific. There may be plants whose flowering is not limited to one season, especially these days with climate change affecting these things. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:21, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would think "Flowers by season of standard blooming" (hopefully worded better) would be a more useful category tree than sorting photos of flowers according to the season the photo was taken. If you're going to sort according to when the photo was taken, sort by month. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, inactive discussion, no consensus to make a specific change. Category used, seems useful to some.

I would say a group of high school students visiting a museum in their own city still qualify as tourists.

This cat is a subcat of Category:Cattle feet dishes, which is one of its subcats. I'm confused. E4024 (talk) 13:49, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We can delete it. I will create an other category with Moroccan cattle feet dishes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucyin (talk • contribs)

 Keep It was badly set up before, but it now matches with the existing category tree.

The building's name is not "palace". (Please see Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/02/Category:Palaces in Ankara for details.) The Turkish common name "Cumhurbaşkanlığı Külliyesi" translates as "Presidential Complex" (or "Presidential Campus" if "complex" does not sound well) to English. E4024 (talk) 08:15, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

English wikipedia article is at en:Presidential Complex (Turkey), but refers to it as a palace throughout the article. The Turkish article is at tr:Cumhurbaşkanlığı Sarayı (Türkiye), which I believe translates to Presidental Palace. I'd suggest we at least leave a redirect. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:53, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stale discussion. @Themightyquill: the nominated category is retained as a redirect. It seems that this CFD is solved.--Estopedist1 (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't say it's resolved, so much as a user moved it according to his own wishes after nominating it, without consensus or comment. Note that Presidential Palace of Turkey and Institution:Presidential Palace of Turkey still exist. At enwiki, the article was moved to from en:Presidental Complex (Turkey) to en:Presidential Compound (Turkey) last summer, and there's a subsection for the "main buildings" with a redlinked en:Presidential Palace (Turkey) so I guess it depends what we're talking about. -- 19:14, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Closed. Category has been moved. Left as redirect, might be useful to some users since many other countries call similar residences "Presidential palace" or similar. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 16:18, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do we know him? Or her? A notable gorilla to have a special cat? E4024 (talk) 15:45, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Marcel was known as such by the rangers who guarded his group and the tourists who visited. Not famous, but not nameless either. And 'by' categories can only contain other categories. --Judithcomm (talk) 16:18, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Judithcomm: At very least, could you provide additional information in the category about where this Gorilla was, etc? Thanks. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:50, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Judith, no other gorilla in Category:Gorilla beringei beringei of Virunga National Park has a name? I think we should delete this cat and upmerge. I mean place the file in the mother cat. --E4024 (talk) 15:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I know all silverbacks in the park are named, most likeley all other adults as well, especially the habituated ones. Humba is one of them (see the pictures in the same category). Keep in mind that there aren't that many mountain gorillas left. --Judithcomm (talk) 15:21, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

People cat with two persons. Would be too complicated to fill. I prefer deleting it. E4024 (talk) 12:20, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Keep -- kind of a poor excuse (the editor is more or less saying "i can't be bothered"). there are literally tens of millions of european muslims, with a history going back almost 1500 years. so how is it "complicated" to have a category for them? especially when that category is part of an organised schema of "muslims by geographical region". Lx 121 (talk) 20:57, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Lx 121: There may be "tens of millions of european muslims", but I seriously doubt that Commons will have images of them all so that's not really a point in favor of keeping. -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:47, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Possibly keep, but change content. If we want "Muslims by continent" categories, they should include the relevant "Muslims from <country>" categories, and few if any individual names. They should probably also be named more like "Muslims from <continent>" , to match the usual naming conventions. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:01, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
comment - i have no problem with that. i didn't start this schema, i was just filling in a missing section of it. :) (also, sorting "by countries" always makes problems for treating with historical changes in geopolitics & borders, & how to apply those to the people being categorised. i'm not saying "don't do it". but i am saying "this is a point of policy & practice that we really need to figure out properly.)Lx 121 (talk) 10:28, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:Lx 121, thanks for reminding me that I'm kind of a lazy Commoner. I do recognize that, and would like to have more time (not work, not sleep, not eat, no weekend break) to contribute more to this project. I do my best, especially in the area of categorization, and although I believe I'm doing less than I could, statistics show my contributions are not so bad considering the average of regular users. OTOH, I'm happy my laziness caused or helped you to make an edit after a week's lapse in Commons. OK, let's not personalize things; my further opinions: I appreciate Aunt's input. S/he always comes with good ideas. (I wish I had an aunt like that! :) Take me as voting "Do as User:Auntof6 says"; but as I'm lazy probably I will not be adding those millions of people to this cat. Sorry. --E4024 (talk) 08:17, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
comment - i politely & respectfully refer you to the "do not take things personally" part of "working collaboratively, on a wikiproject". i was criticising your opinion. as stated, by you in your proposal. if you think i have summed it up inaccurately, i invite you to make a counter-arguement, on the substance of the points in discussion, in rebuttal. additionally, for you to say "OK, let's not personalize things" -AFTER attacking me, is really pretty disingenuous of you. &, IF you had bothered to look @ my contribution history, you would find that i have been here for MORE THAN 10 YEARS, & that i have made literally TENS OF THOUSANDS OF EDITS, and that i worked EXTENSIVELY in categorisation. the reason that i no longer do so, with all due respect, is that i have had enough of having arguements like this one. have a nice day! ^__^ Lx 121 (talk) 10:17, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I'm busy trying to categorize uncategorized actresses. If you wish you can help me. Thanks. --E4024 (talk) 10:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
no, thank-you -- see my above comments. i've gone "off" spending much time here. it is not worth the stress, & our little exchange has helped to remind me of that. Lx 121 (talk) 10:28, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Who said "i can't be bothered" above? I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I did not attack you and I do not attack anybody. (FYI I have never been blocked here but somehow there is a warning on my TP, which "I" believe is unjust.) Let me go the short way: I get blocked one hour for an unjust attack claim or for any other reason and you get rid of me forever. Now until that moment I will continue to categorize and beg leave. Please let us stop it here. Good-bye. --E4024 (talk) 10:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I moved the two contained categories to more specific "by country" categories. I'm fine with "Muslims by continent" and "Muslims from Europe" but it should definitely contain the pre-existing "Muslims by country" categories. - Themightyquill (talk) 22:12, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stale discussion. @Auntof6, Lx 121, and Themightyquill: seems to be  Delete. Still two files. Enwiki en:European Muslims is redirected to en:Islam in Europe (Commons equivalent Category:Islam in Europe)--Estopedist1 (talk) 22:04, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm OK either way: OK deleting because there are only two files and I don't see categories for other continents, or keeping if we populate it with the categories for relevant countries (and, probably, create categories for other continents). -- Auntof6 (talk) 00:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Redirecting to Category:Islam in Europe is also fine with me. If we kept it, it should probably be at Category:Muslims of Europe anyway. -- Themightyquill (talk) 19:18, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

REDIRECTED to Category:Islam in Europe; the two files in the category moved accordingly. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 16:23, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant with Category:Coins of Greece Themightyquill (talk) 22:22, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, plenty of Greek coins (coins with Greek writing and features/themes) exist outside of the standard area of Greece especially when it comes to the ancient world (Magna Graecia, North Africa, Black Sea, Hellenistic Far East, etc). Gts-tg (talk) 06:02, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gts-tg: You're talking about the contents of Category:Ancient Greek coins? Because it's a sub-category of Category:Coins of Greece. This category, Category:Greek coins, is a sub-category Category:Categories of Greece by subject. It was a child of Category:Coins by location but that doesn't fit with your description (cultural rather than location) either. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:30, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Themightyquill Greek coins shouldn't be a sub of Coins of Greece (just removed it from there, as ancient Greek coins are Greek coins as well, and there are also modern Greek coins of states that weren't Greece such as Ionian islands and the Cretan Republic), but fall under the Greek coins category, if there is any further inconsistency in the current categorization it should be amended. However the way I see the categorization happening, is precisely on a cultural basis rather than the modern country basis, as well as in terms of chronological, geographical, and administrative criteria. Gts-tg (talk) 09:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What should the parent categories of Category:Greek coins be? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:44, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Themightyquill just Coins and Greek culture. ideally instead of Coins it should be Coins by culture but the category doesn't exist yet (can be created, and also filled with other categories, i.e. Arabic etc). Gts-tg (talk) 09:52, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stale discussion. @Themightyquill and Gts-tg: I guess it is not good solution that we separate Category:Greek coins and Category:Coins of Greece (compare eg Category:Russian coins which is redirected to "Category:Coins of Russia")--Estopedist1 (talk) 22:19, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that's a good comparison, given Gts-tg's points above. But I also don't have a solution. -- Themightyquill (talk) 19:21, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Closed. The cfd notice was removed from the category more than 3 years ago. It is now a parent category with subcats "Ancient Greek coins", "Coins of the Byzantine Empire", and "Modern Greek Coins" (the last of which in turn has subcategories which include "Coins of Greece", but also "Coins of Cyprus", etc). Seems resolved. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 16:29, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

empty. best to delete it. ArturSik (talk) 18:41, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's only empty because you moved the contents to Category:Margaret in 2018, even though most (all?) of the images take place at one event. This means all the the images are now in Category:Melodifestivalen 2018, Göteborg. I fail to see how this is an improvement. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:01, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The cat is in Category:Cuisine of Emilia and Category:Salumi of Italy, but there is mortadella everywhere! I just added a pic from Turkey. So? E4024 (talk) 13:19, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it refers to where it originated. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:17, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I also think so; so what? Sucuk, pastırma, many Turkish dishes were imposed to me as "universal" and I had to make cats like Category:Turkish pastırma or Category:Turkish sucuk. Tell the Italians to do the same Category:Mortadella of Italy, Category:Italian mortadella or Category:Mortadella in Italy... --E4024 (talk) 07:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@E4024: Who made you make Category:Turkish pastırma? I could see Category:Pastırma in Turkey maybe, but that's a different issue. I guess there was a desire to differentiate between similar but perhaps slightly different foods with different names in different countries of the former Ottoman empire. I don't see that as an issue with mortadella. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:44, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mortadella is a typical product of Bologna, and its denomination is even protected by EU law. Of course like many popular dishes, they have been loosely copied and reinterpreted in many other countries and contexts, but I would be wary to say that they all are "mortadella" (there is a precise recipe for it, not any pink-looking sausages can be legitimately called "mortadella"!). They are rather mortadella-inspired at best. So the category is where it should be, i.e. under the correct geographic denomination. The comparison with pastırma is inappropriate, as in that case we are talking about a dish typical in the whole region of the former Ottoman empire, while in this case the Emilian origins are crystal clear.Desyman (talk) 21:21, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
