Name seems poorly chosen. Not all of Sound Transit Link Light Rail is in Seattle. It seems to me that we'd want to include a picture of one of these vehicles at, say Angle Lake, Seatac, or Tukwila; there are several such in this category already. Either that or (I think less desirable) we'd need a separate category for trains of this type on Sound Transit Link Light Rail outside of Seattle. Jmabel ! talk 03:44, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed. Category:Kinki Sharyo light rail vehicles of Sound Transit (or Category:Kinki Sharyo LRVs of Sound Transit) would be better. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- Well, I derived it from the parent Category:Kinki Sharyo light rail vehicles in the United States. The whole category scheme should be remodeled based on operator, as Pi.1415926535 suggests. Mackensen (talk) 12:08, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- No objection to that. Presumably in many cases the operator implies the city, but in this case it does not. - Jmabel ! talk 15:43, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
- Alternatively, Category:King County, Washington or Category:Seattle metropolitan area could be used. -- Themightyquill (talk) 05:53, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- Granted they won't be for a while, but the Lynnwood and Tacoma extensions will be outside King County. Dividing by operator is standard across rail transit in the US, so I don't see any reason not to use that here. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 07:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- I think if no one in the next few days objects to Category:Kinki Sharyo light rail vehicles of Sound Transit, we have consensus. - Jmabel ! talk 16:33, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Why is this category named in Spanish rather than in English? It would appear to be, effectively, "Human trophy heads in Nazca culture" (though it is lacking most relevant parent categories). Also, why was Category:Shrunken heads made a subcategory? What would a shrunken head from New Guinea, for example, have to do with Nazca culture? Jmabel ! talk 16:33, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Jmabel, Shrunken heads are a subcategory of trophy heads: both have been removed from the body, modified and are exhibited. Shrunken heads are trophy heads without the bones. I am checking the categories. It can be named in English. Cheers, --Cbrescia (talk) 16:42, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- Right, but if Category:Cabeza trofeo is a subcategory of Category:Nazca culture, then how can all shrunken heads belong in a subcategory of Category:Cabeza trofeo? - Jmabel ! talk 16:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- I have renamed the category to English, put the category in 'Severed human heads', created the subcategory 'Nazca trophy heads' and tagged the category in Spanish 'Cabezas trofeo' for speedy deletion. If there is something I missed to be corrected please let me know. Thanks for your observations. Best, --Cbrescia (talk) 17:28, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

These pictures (except the bamboo and lotus suits) are stolen from a 2010 Flash game. The bamboo and lotus suits are traced images of copyrighted pictures. 112.68.114.60 03:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
The uploader claims to have created these pictures based on a scan of an old Kintengu deck and they were uploaded in 2014.
This isn't true - the pictures were actually taken from this Japanese Flash game: https://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/hanafuda/hanafuda.html
They were in use by this game by March 2010 at the latest (possibly already in 2009), based on this archive.org version of the game's accompanying rule page:
https://web.archive.org/web/20100306024550/http://www.gamedesign.jp:80/flash/hanafuda/rule.html
Eight of the cards (of the bamboo and lotus suits, the suits featuring a dragon and a tiger, were not stolen from the said game but were traced from copyrighted material, from a deck created by Shigeo Matsui of Matsui Tengudo. He passed away in 2016 according to Japanese Wikipedia:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9D%BE%E4%BA%95%E5%A4%A9%E7%8B%97%E5%A0%82
That might not count as a "reliable source" but the same date is mentioned in this blog post: https://ameblo.jp/yatsushiromai/entry-12553146383.html by Mai Yatsushiro, who was an acquaintance of Shigeo Matsui (evidenced by the pictures of the two of them together in the post.) 7 of the 8 original drawings can be viewed here: https://aucview.aucfan.com/yahoo/e148466921/ (the dragon is different, but the uploaded dragon image is also traced from a previous version of this deck I can't localize online right now). I'm not exactly sure of when the cards were created but I think it was in the 2000's.
I think all of this user's uploads need to be carefully scrutinized. The pictures evidently stolen from the Flash game must all be deleted. The traced images should at the very least probably have a different license (considering they are derivatives of a copyrighted work).112.68.114.60 03:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- 首先請你w:WP:AGF，我在2016年之前不理解維基百科方針[1]，因此2016年之前我被各個維基媒體計畫多次封禁，但我2016-2020年間學習了多個維基媒體計畫方針，甚至在中文維基被社群選為資深主編，且我2016後上傳的圖像我保證全部都是自由版權，任何方針在2016年後我都有嚴守，顯然您有惡意推定、翻舊帳的嫌疑，試圖要把我所有貢獻都當違規垃圾，在此表達遺憾和抗議。 在當時(2014)只是有想把花札 SVG 化的想法，但太難畫是去委託朋友找資源拼湊組合，也感謝您將這些可能非自由版權的資源源頭給找出來。 我敢保證我2016-2020學會了大部分的方針，然而很抱歉後來我忘了此事，感謝您的指出，依現在的觀點來看，顯然不合方針。 等會開始大量刪除2016年之前我的所有貢獻--A2569875 (talk) 06:46, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

- Many files in there are not even desperately undercategorized. @William Ellison: maybe you can elaborate on your rationale for creating this category. --MB-one (talk) 12:49, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Hi MB-one, I gave my reasons for creating the category on the discussion page. I am aware that most, if not all the files have categories, but they do not have appropriate categories which are sub-categories of the Category:Postcards and the files do not have their place in a main category. What should I call the category where, hopefully, the files will have a limited stay, whilst waiting for an appropriate sub-category ? William Ellison (talk) 13:04, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- @William Ellison: in the meantime, I actually read your earlier explanation. Thank you for that. Regarding the category naming: It is generally considered yelling, if certain words are written in all caps (en:Netiquette), which some users took offense in (discussion in german). Apart from that. "... needing categories" is a bit ambiguous, because it isn't clear, what type of categories are missing. Lastly, I fail to see the merit that this maintenance category over the main category Postcards. Because that already is tagged with {{Categorize}} it basically became a maintenance category in itself. Any user is invited to move files from it into it's subcategories. Likewise the project users can use the main category as their "to-do list". Thus, a separate category seems superfluous. --MB-one (talk) 13:18, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Why is this category named Mosmans Bay when the bay is called Mosman Bay, which is the article title on the English Wikipedia and when this category has a sub-category Category:Mosman Bay ferry wharf, Sydney? I realise there is a Category:Mosman Bay for the Western Australian one but we could disambiguate through adding (Sydney) and (Perth) to each category to seperate them. Calistemon (talk) 13:34, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Calistemon: Looks like one of us has to presume good faith. But that’s a two-way street I abhorr to cruise alone, so here’s my piece: «Why is this category named Mosmans Bay when the bay is called Mosman Bay», you ask? Because this category was created by me and I made a mistake. Said mistake was not due to the fact that where I stand, on the other end of the planet, Sydney and Perth are not terribly different, no — I am usually more careful than that. However the file this category was initially created to categorize, a historical photo digitized and curated by the Australian National Maritime Museum, is identified as «Electric tram at Mosmans Bay», original 1897 caption. I overlooked the discrepancy with the Australian National Maritime Museum’s own tagging of this photo as "Mosman Bay" in their Flickr album and the mistake settled in as this category was further populated with more files.
- My turn for asking questions instead of doing deeds: Why are you asking questions instead of doing deeds? This is a wiki, after all. If you see an obvious mistake you should correct it. Why create a CfD instead of requesting or enacting a move/rename? Now this thing will remain open untill the cows come home (as much as 6 years), instead of fixed in 2 min.
- -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 14:21, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Tuvalkin: You are completely incorrect if you think I presumed bad faith, no such accusation was ever intended against you, Tuvalkin, and if you feel that way I'm happy to apologize. My question was genuine, was there indeed a good reason why the category was named that way? To change it is not a 2 minute fix either because I will have to manually change the category on 52 images. I saw it as the best option to ask the question first before making changes out of a misunderstanding of my own. After all, it is best to ask first than to just assume that I'm right. What really threw me off track is that Category:Mosman Bay (New South Wales) is a redirect to Category:Mosmans Bay. Calistemon (talk) 14:32, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Clearly these two cats, Category:Mosman Bay (New South Wales) and Category:Mosmans Bay, should be swapped. If you have raised the question in the Village Pump or in my talk page it would be all fixed by now (moving hundreds of files from a cat to another takes a few seconds with Cat-a-lot). CfD are kangaroo courts (apt metaphor this time) and may take years to be closed, as admin intervention is required. I suggest you add
* {{withdraw}} ~~~~in a new line below, but not sure if that is as effective in a CfD as it is in a DR. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 14:44, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- No worries, done as requested below. Personally, my suggestion would be to have Category:Mosman Bay (New South Wales) and Category:Mosman Bay (Western Australia), as the Perth one, titled Category:Mosman Bay, alerted me to the issue as Sydney images were incorrectly categorised in there. The Sydney one has far more claim to be the primary topic under that name. I'm happy to take care of the Perth one if you are able to sort the NSW one. If somebody bucks up, which happened to me on a similar common sense category issue, this discussion here sufficiently explains the action. Calistemon (talk) 15:03, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Renaming one item within a tree would be confusing.

Merge back to Chepstow Museum. This name is obscure and unrecognised by readers, failing COMMONNAME. It also splits the content in an unhelpful manner. If (If!) we obtain old pre-museum photos, we might reconsider this - but as it is, we'd be better with a single category for the Museum, and its building. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:46, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The building and the museum are separate entities, and are described by Gwy House (Q5091731) and Chepstow Museum (Q84935858) accordingly. It would be better if we had more photos, particularly of the inside of the museum, but hopefully they will come in the future. Pinging @Jason.nlw: who was splitting this out on Wikidata and may want to comment here. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 08:51, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I admit i'm not overly familiar with Commons guidelines on this but Wikidata is quite clear that organisations and the buildings in which they are housed should be separated out.

- Close Can't fix wikidata. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:50, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
- The museum seems to be inside "Gwy House" so it seems that unless we need to make a distinction between the building and the museum it contains they should be merged. Notice that all but 1 of the images in Category:Gwy House have "Museum" in the title so it seems that this is duplication. However Gwy House has history of being a school and hospital so its possible that we could have images for the times when Gwy House was a school and hospital which supports keeping separate categories. If a merge does take place then it should probably be the house category, not museum kept. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: The museum opened in 1982 but the building has had various uses since 1796. It is now listed as a grade II building, which suggests it is notable in its own right. FredWalsh (talk) 16:44, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- It's notable, but we have no content apart from the museum. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:36, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- A lack of content does not diminish its separate history and character. I think we have sufficient files to warrant two categories. Ideally we should have some pre-1982 images but then again we have plenty of wish-lists. FredWalsh (talk) 22:08, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- What does "sufficient files to warrant two categories" mean? Were they full?
- The Mari Lwyd photos (all mine, BTW) are merely at the location of both Gwy House and the Museum. They're not of the Museum in any way. The other is a mis-categorised sourcing credit to the Museum, rather than any material about the Museum. There's no reason at all to split the content we have in two – admittedly that would become different if we did acquire some content for the school or hospital era, but we don't have that.

- Oppose: User:78.152.245.152 states that Category:Jürgen Ahrend and Category:Jürgen Ahrend Orgelbau are about the same person. This isn't true. Category:Jürgen Ahrend is actually about a person, what is easy to learn from its categories like Category:Men of Germany by name and Category:1930 births. Category:Jürgen Ahrend Orgelbau however is about a company, what is easy to learn from its category Category:Companies based in Leer (Ostfriesland).

- @Tibet Nation: You probably want to say that individual category for "Lotus feet" is redundant? In enwiki en:Lotus feet is redirect to "foot binding"--Estopedist1 (talk) 07:29, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Is Category:High water mark signs redundant with Category:Flood level signs? The latter is wikidata linked to en:High water mark. Themightyquill (talk) 21:38, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- Probably. I can't imagine a circumstance where a high water mark sign would be erected without the mark signifying a flood level. BD2412 T 22:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- @BD2412: IMHO also the formulation "mark sign" is a pleonasm. A mark of the sign? A sign of the mark? Artificial highlighting of the natural visible imprint of the water level? For marks or signs which don't indicate the flood level, we have the parent categories Category:Flood markers and Category:Flood monuments. --ŠJů (talk) 02:04, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- A high water mark is the highest point of a flood. A high water mark is a sign indicating where the high water mark was. BD2412 T 02:17, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

Clearly a duplicate, the terms are used as synonymes. Merged. --ŠJů (talk) 01:46, 29 July 2020 (UTC) Category:Flood markers also re-sorted and merged as redundant. --ŠJů (talk) 03:21, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
What is the difference between Vegetable shops and Greengrocers? Could there be clear definitions and demarcation between these two categories OR can the two be merged? JopkeB (talk) 15:39, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- Somme greengrocers doesn't sales in shops, but in markets place. You may have a Vegetable shops, and over one Greengrocers in market places, both connect to Greengrocers. Marianne Casamance (talk) 07:53, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Marianne Casamance: That might be true, but neither the parent categories nor the the media content of these categories reflects that division. Moreoever, it's sometimes difficult to make such a division. I think it would be easier to separate out Category:Vegetable stalls like Category:Fruit stalls than to define what is a shop or not. - Themightyquill (talk) 07:04, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- This is also a good solution. Marianne Casamance (talk) 07:06, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

- @Marianne Casamance: @Themightyquill: Thanks for your contributions to this discussion. My conclusion so far: both categories should be kept:
- Category:Greengrocers as the parent category, with as description: Locations where fruit and vegetables are being sold, both shops and markets (or A retail trader in fruit and vegetables as the English Wikipedia says, but as a non native English speaker this is less clear for me);
- Category:Vegetable shops as one of the subcategories, with as description: Shops where fruit and vegetables are being sold.
- Would this be correct? JopkeB (talk) 13:49, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- If Category:Vegetable shops is for "shops where fruit and vegetables are being sold" what goes in Category:Fruit shops? - Themightyquill (talk) 14:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- I think that some shops only sell fruit and no vegetables. JopkeB (talk) 16:01, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
- If Category:Vegetable shops is for "shops where fruit and vegetables are being sold" what goes in Category:Fruit shops? - Themightyquill (talk) 14:11, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Conclusions:
- Both categories should be kept
- Category:Greengrocers is the parent category
- Category:Vegetable shops is one of the subcategories
Move to Category:Community building (practice) or something similar. The category already contains a number of images of community buildings (community centres, community museums, etc) that are misplaced because the title is confusing. Themightyquill (talk) 13:07, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- Support per w:WP:PLURALPT just because Commons uses plural forms for categories[2] doesn't make the singular ambiguous, make the singular into a DAB even though Category:Community buildings doesn't yet exist. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:18, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

- I've created this category for files, which did not belong clearly to any other of the categories in the Unicode-tree. No idea, where to place them instead. Antonsusi (talk) 18:27, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- @Antonsusi: First, the name of the category does not closely suggest what it is about. Secondly, categories for "left over" files are generally discouraged. Thirdly, where is exactly the problem with File:A-iotified.png, File:Aa ogonek.png, File:Circled latin capital letter k.svg, File:Cyrillic letter Ghayn.png, File:Cyrillic letter Schwa.png, File:Cyrillic letter Ve.png Where are the other Cyrillic letters?, File:Egyptian 3 symbol.png, File:Eng.png, File:Eth.png, File:Greek lc stigma2.png, File:Unicode 0197 0268.JPG, File:Wynn.svg, File:Yat letter russian.JPG, File:Yogh letter.png, and File:Е точка снизу.png? They are all placed into Unicode block categories either directly or through the categories for the letters they depict. Lastly ("No idea, where to place them instead"), why not leave them in the categories they are placed into besides this one? I am currently failing to see the purpose of having this. 1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 09:48, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- When I added a file in this catgory, I, of course, did this decide using the categorisation at this time. Files without any well category are moved.
- Example: File:Aa ogonek.png was added by me February 15th, 2013. At this time, the categoroisation was Category:Unicode and Category:A, two non-specific ("poor") categories (see here). So I added Category:Unicode/Glyph, which is not optimal, but surely better than "Unicode". It is not my case, to search several hours, if there is a better category to add, and it is also not my case, to check periodically, if better categories have been added. So it can be, that today a more specific catgory is added and that the category Unicode/Glyph for this file is obsolete. If you think, that this situation is given, than you can simply take File:Aa ogonek.png out of category Unicode/Glyph. You can also add a more specific catgory before, to do so. If "once a day" category Unicode/Glyph falls empty, it can be deleted. That will not be a problem for me. Antonsusi (talk) 17:23, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Antonsusi: Right, sorry I didn't research the page histories. I decategorised the mentioned (and some other) images that were already contained in a Unicode block category. I still think the name could (and should) be more descriptive; what about Category:Unidentified Unicode characters? @Tuvalkin: Any opinion? 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 15:15, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
- I agree with Antonsusi that this category is needed (even when empty) and I agree with 1234qwer1234qwer4 that Category:Unidentified Unicode characters is a much better name for this category. In that spirit, I made these two edits. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 15:40, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

カテゴリの再編について Mario1257 (talk) 15:40, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
以下のカテゴリを、Category:Post boxes in Japanに統合することを提案します。(Suggest integration of the following categories into Category: Post boxes in Japan)
現在、日本の郵便ポストに関するカテゴリの再編を行っています。日本にはポストの規格があり、それに応じてカテゴリを区分することを考えています。日本のポストは原則赤色のため、色別のカテゴリは不要だと思われます。また、東京のみ地域別のカテゴリがあり、それも不要だと考えられます。
以上を踏まえると、これらのカテゴリは不要と考え、後に号数別のカテゴリに振り分けるための準備を行いたいと考えています。--Mario1257 (talk) 15:52, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
(Currently, I am reorganizing the categories related to Japanese post boxes. Japan Post has a standard. I plan to classify accordingly. Since Japanese posts are basically red, it seems that categories by color are unnecessary. Since Japanese posts are basically red, it seems that categories by color are unnecessary. Also, there is a category for each region only in Tokyo, and it is considered unnecessary.
Based on the above, I think that these categories are unnecessary, and I would like to make preparations for later sorting into categories by issue number.)
- Keep. This merger should not happen unless Japanese post boxes have to be red, and that's clearly not the case — we have at least one picture of one that isn't, File:Kitahoricho, Matsue, Shimane Prefecture 690-0888, Japan - panoramio (5).jpg. Also, having a geographic subcategory is a good idea: we do this worldwide for localities (especially major cities) that have a high concentration of whatever is in the category, whether post boxes, or automobiles, or wild animals, or native-born blacksmiths. Nyttend backup (talk) 10:49, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
kept. Now we have whole category:Yellow post boxes in Japan, so categorizing by color makes sense. Taivo (talk) 15:48, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
College athletics programs
[edit]I'd like to propose that all categories for collegiate athletics programs be changed from the naming style "University of Cincinnati athletics" to the naming style "Cincinnati Bearcats". Here are some of my reasons:
- The new naming scheme reflects common use. This is the naming scheme that is used on most/all Wikipedias, and it's also probably the most common one used outside of Wikimedia projects.
- The term "athletics" is confusing. On Commons, Category:Athletics refers to the sport also known as track and field. However, these categories are not about each college's track and field program, but instead, about ALL sports programs at the college. This can create confusion; for example, as I type this, Category:College athletic programs is incorrectly placed inside Category:Athletics.
- The current scheme doesn't properly describe the scope. The phrase "University of Cincinnati athletics" sounds as though it might include ALL sports-related activities at the university, including intramurals or club sports. However, in practice, these categories are only used for the university-sponsored sports teams. If we did want to broaden the scope of these categories, that would also be a problem, as they are typically linked to ikidata items which have the narrower scope.
- The full names of universities may be unfamiliar to users. For example, someone looking for Virginia Tech Hokies might not recognize the full name, the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Similar issues exist with the UMBC Retrievers (University of Maryland, Baltimore County), California Golden Bears (University of California, Berkeley), LSU Tigers (Louisiana State University), and many others.
- The current names are inconsistent with subcategories. In the "University of Cincinnati athletics" category, for example, there are subcategories Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball, Cincinnati Bearcats football, and Cincinnati Bearcats men's soccer. It seems weird and counter-intuitive that the name of the parent category doesn't match its subcategories.
- The new names are shorter/neater. The current title scheme is needlessly wordy; the shorter names convey the exact same meaning in a more straightforward way.

- Category:Abilene Christian University athletics → Category:Abilene Christian Wildcats

That's almost every school from Category:College athletic programs, excluding 17 which already used my naming scheme, and one or two odd ones that seemed like they might need individual discussion. If there's any other moves which anyone thinks needs special discussion, feel free to single them out as needing a separate discussion. IagoQnsi (talk) 01:30, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- Comment for me there's no problem as long as there's consistency. BTW is "Soccer" part of the name of the team, or is only descriptive of the sports discipline played by the team? Because I agree that the full name of the university might be unfamiliar to some users, but at the same "football" means different sports according to the place you live in. For us Europeans, for example, football is what you call soccer whereas for you Americans is the American football, that's why we prefer to call it association football when we are talking to an American (in turn, football is Australian rules football in Australia, and so on). -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 08:12, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Literally anyone can correctly guess the category Category:Case Western Reserve University athletics. Only someone who knows the school is going to guess at Category:Case Western Reserve Spartans. Also, to many people the latter primarily refers to the football team, and it necessarily excludes any intramural athletics at that University. - Jmabel ! talk 15:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Jmabel: Actually, I would say the opposite is true in most cases. I'm not sure if you're U.S.-based or not, but typically in American sports media, the long name of a university is almost never used. American college sports teams are treated almost as if they're independent from their university. For many of these schools, I bet most American sports fans would struggle to remember whether any given school is "University of X", "College of X", "X College", "X University", or something else.
- Regardless, we would have redirects from the old names to the new names, so it doesn't really matter what the user types in. What matters is that the name we use be the most widely-recognizable name for the entity. I think that someone who is familiar with, say, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from an academic perspective would be able to recognize the Charlotte 49ers as the university's sports teams, but a sports fan looking for the Charlotte 49ers may not have ever seen the full name of the university before. I suspect many sports fans wouldn't know what the letters of LSU, SMU, USC, UMBC, BYU, and so on stand for, and wouldn't recognize the full names of the universities (to give a personal anecdote, I never knew what LSU stood for for the longest time, and when I first saw the name "Louisiana State University", I assumed it must be some other obscure little school). –IagoQnsi (talk) 01:52, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- If you are going to go with what the media usually call them, you are going to end up with things like "U-Dub Huskies", "U-Conn Huskies", etc. - Jmabel ! talk 02:53, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- In the case of UConn, there's an argument to be made that that might be appropriate, as that's the primary name used even by the team itself. In most cases though, the media uses the initialism and a longer name interchangeably, and in those cases I selected the longer name in my proposed moves list (e.g. Virginia not UVa, South Florida not USF, Washington not UW). I think the initialisms should only be used in cases where it's so dominant that some people may not know what the acronym stands for, e.g. LSU, UNLV, BYU, and TCU. These teams' branding is on par with, say, NBC or BBC in terms of preferring the initialism over the long name. –IagoQnsi (talk) 19:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose It's a solution in search of a problem. Category:Cornell University athletics has a nice parallelism with Category:Cornell University campus, Category:Cornell University buildings, etc. Also, schools change their names/mascots now and then ... what do you do about historical photos for schools who have changed their team names? -Kenneth C. Zirkel (talk) 16:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Kzirkel: I don't see any issue with having, say, Miami Redskins files in Category:Miami RedHawks (for Miami University). We do the same thing in the rest of sports: Category:Sporting Kansas City has Kansas City Wizards files, Category:Cincinnati Reds has Cincinnati Redlegs files, etc. If necessary, there could be a subcategory for the old name, as we have with Category:Cincinnati Royals in Category:Sacramento Kings or Category:Montreal Expos in Category:Washington Nationals. –IagoQnsi (talk) 02:21, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Weak oppose I don't hate this idea, but I still prefer the current category naming scheme, which is especially useful for those who are unfamiliar with team nicknames. Also, not everyone knows that "Louisiana" in college athletics refers to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I also agree with Kzirkel's point about the current categories being consistent with other categories about universities, like "campus" and "buildings" categories. Michael Barera (talk) 16:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Michael Barera: Actually, I think schools like Louisiana are exactly why we should make the move. Someone who's familiar with UL Lafayette or UNC Chapel Hill or UT Knoxville from an academic perspective is reasonably likely to know that those are the flagship schools in their respective university systems, and that the city is commonly dropped from their names. But someone who is only familiar with the sports teams "Louisiana", "North Carolina", and "Tennessee" may have no idea which town those universities are based in, and wouldn't be able to pick out which category is the one they're looking for. –IagoQnsi (talk) 02:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- @IagoQnsi: I respectfully disagree. While the 20-25 largest college athletics programs are arguably of comparable stature and name recognition as their parent universities, the vast majority of them are not. Take my home state for an example. While this rename may make sense for the University of Michigan and its intercollegiate athletics teams (the Michigan Wolverines), it doesn't make sense for Albion College, Central Michigan University, the University of Detroit-Mercy, Eastern Michigan University, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Kalamazoo College, Lake Superior State University, Northern Michigan University, Oakland University, or Western Michigan University. Unless you're a fan of the Mid-American Conference or college hockey (and most American sports fans, let alone the general public, are not), probably the only two schools in the state that would be comparably recognizable after renaming their athletics categories to their nicknames would be Michigan (Wolverines) and Michigan State (Spartans). Michael Barera (talk) 22:59, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Michael Barera: It's true that most people haven't heard of teams such as the Eastern Michigan Eagles or the Ferris State Bulldogs and so on. But if you were looking at Category:Ferris State University and saw the subcategory "Ferris State Bulldogs", you would likely be able to deduce that that must be the name of their sports teams. However, if you were looking at Category:College athletic programs in search of the Virginia Tech Hokies, you might not recognize "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University athletics". –IagoQnsi (talk) 00:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- @IagoQnsi: Precisely. The cases of the former vastly outweigh the latter, which is part of the reason why I believe the current naming schema is better and I'm weakly opposing this proposal. Michael Barera (talk) 00:34, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- @IagoQnsi: I think Virginia Tech is a case where the other subcategories should probably change to "Virginia Tech", since that's the COMMONNAME. If you asked 10 Virginians the name of an engineering-heavy state university in Blacksburg, you'd likely get zero person say "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University", and its most newsworthy event is called the Virginia Tech Massacre, not the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Massacre. But that's obviously a different discussion from this one. Ytoyoda (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- Support Here's a link to the 2011 discussion about the same thing, which ended without consensus. Nine years later, I still generally think the more accurate category names would include the team name. You noted this in your second bullet, but yes, I've always thought "Athletics" has a small potential to be misleading in that it traditionally refers to track and field events, and it could lead to semantic discussion over whether the members of a school's golf team or archery team are "athletes."-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 17:49, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- Weak oppose I like the intent of the proposal and I'm not completely against it, but I find myself agreeing with talk:Kzirkel and Michael Barera that it helps to have a parrarel with other university subcategories. Also, when I hear "North Carolina Tar Heels", I'm thinking about the teams or the athletes, but not the athletic department. When we talk about campus sports facilities or the Athletic Director, we talk about them as being part of the university, not the Michigan State Spartans, for example.
- And I wouldn't be too concerned about the confusion with the non-American definition of "athletics", since American collegiate athletics are pretty unique in their scope and notability. If anything, I think it'd be more helpful to discuss editing Category:Athletics to match the en-wiki article titles, en:Athletics (physical culture) and en:Sport of athletics. Ytoyoda (talk) 19:48, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- If most people seem to acknowledge that "athletics" isn't ideal but don't like using team names like Bearcats, could using some formulation of "sports" be another option? It seems most of these are located under Category:Sports in universities and colleges of the United States anyway. - Themightyquill (talk) 20:50, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- I don't see the confusion with athletics. They're referred to athletic departments at most American universities.
- Oppose I'm all for changing the names to match the names used on Wikipedia. My only concern is making sure all the data is transferred over. I've seen many times on Wikipedia that the main category is changed, but the secondary categories are not and data is misplaced. If there is no guarantee of transferring all the data/categories, then I would change my vote to oppose.Spatms (talk) 21:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- I've decided to change my vote from weak support to oppose. I actually agree the names should be changed to match Wikipedia and don't prefer using the full college name and then athletics on the end. My issue is that hundreds of schools data will be lost, so the benefits do not outweigh the costs for me. During this discussion, no one has mentioned they will go through every category and link to the new names. Since no one will take on such a huge undertaking and do it correctly, I sadly can't support the change.Spatms (talk) 18:27, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Spatms: Everything should transfer over without issue – Wikidata relinking happens automatically when you move a category, and there are bots that take care of fixing redirect issues. I think this will actually cause less data issues, as we will now match Wikipedia's naming. There are bots that create Wikidata items for Commons categories, and they've created many duplicate items for college sports programs because they didn't recognize the Wikipedia name. If all else fails, I'll be making sure everything moves over correctly. –IagoQnsi (talk) 21:11, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
Weak support Of the reasons already mentioned, I believe the most compelling one for the change is to reflect common usage and against is the loss of parallelism with other university subcategory names. All comments considered, I'd say it would still be an improvement. Waz8 (talk) 01:32, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Intermural sports & Club sports vs Intercollegiate athletics
I appreciate you bringing this up. I agree that the current naming is tedious.
However, after doing some research, it is not always strictly correct to lump intermural sports in with intercollegiate athletics. At least in the case of Bowling Green State University, intercollegiate athletics are always called the Falcons, but intermural sports are rarely if ever called Falcons by university publications and local media, though the players for the teams are often called Falcons coloquially. Since this is a discinction that even English Wikipedia doesn't seem to bother with (Intermural sports are lumped in the Bowling Green Falcons page), it's mostly splitting hairs.
Overall, I support this rename. --Mbrickn (talk) 05:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose basically because I agree with Jmabel's argument. These categories are systematic and (aside from your second bullet) unambiguous, and it's very easy to find one institution's category once you know the naming convention. I can easily find Category:Centre College athletics if I need it, without looking, while Category:Centre Colonels will take some searching. This is particularly important here at Commons, since users unfamiliar with English need to have things made easy. Imagine if you only speak German: you'll have learnt that "Ohio University athletics" represents the Ohio University athletic department, what you'd call "Ohio University Sportabteilung", so if you're looking at the Centre College category, you know where to find the athletics, but "Ohio University Bobcats" doesn't help you navigate to the Centre Colonels category; the anglophone user who goes to Category:Centre College will look at the subcategories and see that Colonels is the only one that really makes sense for sports, but because you only speak German, you won't know that, and you'll have a hard time finding the sports teams. Moreover, various institutions have abandoned their historic mascots in order to be politically correct, and the proposed name would cause the new categories to become restricted in their chronological scope: someone who played on a Miami University Redskins team is not a member of the "RedHawks", for example. Finally, I agree with your point about athletics being ambiguous (e.g. en:Athletics at the Summer Olympics), but that's a very different matter, and renaming to the team nicknames is only one way to avoid that problem. Let's close this as "keep" and prepare for another nomination that strictly addresses that issue. Nyttend (talk) 09:06, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
- Weak oppose Sometimes, and perhaps often, the nickname of a university is used to more broadly to define affiliated components or aspects of the institution beyond just athletics. For instance, an "Aggie" from Texas A&M could refer to any alumni, the Corps of Cadets, the band, etc.
- As far as the point about the term "athletics" being confused with the classic term (and IOC used term) for the sport of Track and Field, I would point out that nearly every single U.S. collegiate institution sponsoring sports generally uses the term "Department of Athletics" or "Athletics Department", which clearly is understood within the context of U.S. sports to be broader than only the sport of Track and Field. While this might be more confusing or an international reader, who would likely be confused by university athletics in the US in general because of its relative uniqueness, "athletics" is the ubiquitous term utilized in the U.S. to describe the full panorama and administrative structure supporting institutionally-supported sports offerings in education (and in general U.S. parlance, it is almost never used in a way that limits it to Track & Field). As a corollary, all collegiate soccer team articles use the term "[Short university name] [Nickname] soccer" and all college football articles are titled "[Short university name] [nickname] football", so I don't know if avoiding the use of the term "athletics" for categories involving U.S. collegiate sports entities is any more warranted. Crazypaco (talk) 20:47, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose A user unfamiliar with the school would have to figure out that the name of the mascot meant the athletics department. If I'm unfamiliar with the name "Stanford Cardinal", that could conceivably refer to a building on campus, a priest (if they were a Catholic university), or possibly some other school program, whereas "Stanford University athletics" is unambiguous. Not only that, but it's not uncommon to use the mascot name to refer to students or alumni. For example, UCLA students are generally called "Bruins" (source: personal experience), so if I found a category with that name I might expect to see Category:UCLA students underneath it. —howcheng {chat} 18:45, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Rename to Category:Putten. There's no need for a disambiguation here, it's not ambiguous. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Dutch, German, Italian and Cebuano have "Putten" as a DAB and EN has w:Putten (disambiguation). Instead Category:Putten should become a DAB page. See also GeoNames. Crouch, Swale (talk) 13:05, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- But Category:Putten isn't a disambig, it's a redirect. We could simply use that.
- Nor does what other wikis do need to influence Commons. We simply need to choose what's best for Commons. We don't (by policy) add disambiguation when it's not needed, and this clearly isn't. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:47, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- It can be converted into one, there are indeed multiple uses of this name so we can DAB but indeed we don't disambiguate unnecessarily so if this is primary it should be under the base name. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:41, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose There are at least six geographical names of Putten in the Netherlands, see DAB Putten in NL-Wikipedia . For all could be made categories in Commons in the future. So "Putten" is indeed ambigious. I agree that Category:Putten should become a DAB page. The name "Putten, Gelderland" is clear, please keep it that way. JopkeB (talk) 09:07, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

It wouldn't make sense to have one category to compile all images of a vehicle in one category and have no category for the other vehicle, leaving images of it to be lost in the main category. It makes more practical sense to allow searchers to find images of Mk2 just as easily as they'd be able to find images of Starhopper; case in point, it took a while after the image was uploaded before anybody on Commons even noticed that this was a photograph of Mk2, when it was label-less and had been thrown into the main Starship category. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk) 11:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

This is an unnecessary category. There is no need to keep empty categories. I made a deletion request for this category. JopkeB (talk) 03:48, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
This is a single item category per the first sentence of Commons:Categories, the official policy: : "A category is a software feature of MediaWiki, a special page which is intended to group related pages and media". The word "pages" and "media" are plural and imply that categories should have two or more files as members. It is very unlikely we will get new files for this category. The single file in this category should be recategorised to the parent category. FredWalsh (talk) 13:25, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

This is a single item category, which is not in line with the official Commons policy. And the expectation is that there will be no more items for this category in the near future. So this category has no right to exist. I made a deletion request. JopkeB (talk) 03:36, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
And you have no tight to delete an category as there is no official Commons policy against single items category. Tm (talk) 06:16, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- Tm: Yes, there is such a policy, see the first sentence of Commons:Categories, as FredWalsh pointed out in the very first sentence of this discussion. Do your homework! And I do have the right to nominate categories for deletion, not to delete them, but to nominate them, there is a difference. JopkeB (talk) 16:42, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- No, there is not, what you merely interpreting as you want, not as the policy says. And you did not nominate this category to deletion, you removed the image from the category and them marked this category to speedy deletion with the cooked argument that it was empty, as this ocurred after you emptied it. Tm (talk) 17:43, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- Also may i ask, that if, as said, a "single item category, which is not in line with the official Commons policy", them why did you created Category:Theater De Stoep (1984-2005) an category with single item (an upload by you), on February 7 2021?
- No, there is not, what you merely interpreting as you want, not as the policy says. And you did not nominate this category to deletion, you removed the image from the category and them marked this category to speedy deletion with the cooked argument that it was empty, as this ocurred after you emptied it.

- Keep It's very helpful to have people categories, making images of people easily available through Wikidata from Wikipedia or Wikisource pages. There's overcategorization, but at least species, cities and people should all have a category even if only one image is available.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:04, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Though I am still not quite convinced that there is no rule against categories with a single item (the first sentence of Commons:Categories could be interpreted as "yes", like FredWalsh did), I put the discussion tag again into this category. Category:Theater De Stoep (1984-2005) might be considered as a future proof category; there are more photos of this former building and I expect at least some of them will be uploaded in Commons some day, but now they are still copyrighted.

Correct name of company is "Teasdale and Metcalfe". Blythwood (talk) 22:51, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- And there are a lot of categories for only two pictures:
- Teasdale and Metcalf (1 C)
- Teasdale and Metcalf structures (1 B)
- Teesdale and Metcalf (1 C)
- Teesdale and Metcalf structures (1 B)
- Teasdale and Metcalf (1 C)
- I suggest to keep only one, Teasdale and Metcalf, rename it to "Teasdale and Metcalfe" and move the two files to this new category. Add categories about the structures to the files, if necessary. Let's keep things simple. JopkeB (talk) 16:59, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
It looks like this problem has been more or less been solved. There are only two categories now. JopkeB (talk) 12:52, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

- And the concern is? Baums Bridge Road began in prehistory as one of a few (2-3) safe crossings of the Grand Kankakee Marsh. The Collier Lodge Site historic site is at the central crossing in the marshlands. The Marsh was 80 miles (130 km) long and varied from less than 100 feet (30 m) wide in the dry season to 10 miles (16 km) wide in the wet season. All seasons, it was marsh, meaning that high ridges and gravel beds were necessary for crossing. Thus, the category represents the places along this historic route. It's not as famous as Sauk Trail from Detroit to Chicago. I presume it will expand with time. --Chris Light (talk) 22:10, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

- Hi. I created the category some years ago to pool images and media of squats and what I know as kollektiver, bofællesskaber and besatte bygninger in Danish. I couldn't figure out how these concepts translates in English really, so I settled for Co-housing, which was the broadest English term I was able to find useful for the purpose. I wanted the category to encompass historic buildings tied to both the rather peaceful house sharing culture all the way to historic buildings tied to the more proactive (and sometimes radical) squatting. I am not a native speaker of English, so if you think the change is fine in the context I have explained, then I'm ok with it. RhinoMind (talk) 20:38, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

This was nominated for a speedy (after emptying it). It seems to me that a category we have had for 8 years, and that has nothing actively wrong with the name, should be turned into a cat redirect if renamed [especially if renamed without discussion], not simply deleted. Jmabel ! talk 04:10, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
- Category redirects are less useful than "normal" redirects because they show up in the suggestions as if they were not redirects, that said that's a reason to change the software, not delete redirects of which was at this title since 2012 (so there's a risk of breaking external links) and the redirect isn't confusing or similar and redirects from unnecessary disambiguation are normal on WP so I'd lean towards keeping it. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:51, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- The current configuration has Category:Gorge Powerhouse, Newhalem, Washington as a redirect to Category:Gorge Powerhouse, and that seems satisfactory to me given that the name does not appear to be reused elsewhere. – BMacZero (🗩) 01:03, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
stale discussion. I would delete it (= "Category:Gorge Powerhouse, Newhalem, Washington") as misleading, because only one object exists. But I am not oppose to keep as well. Current solution is acceptable--Estopedist1 (talk) 17:04, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Cat was moved, soft redirect was kept. It's now been this way for years, and no one has had further comment, so I'm considering this closed. - Jmabel ! talk 05:40, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
Per Cebus capucinus, "Until the 21st century the Panamanian white-faced capuchin, Cebus imitator, was considered conspecific with the Colombian white-faced capuchin, as the subspecies C. capucinus imitator." They're now apparently viewed by most primatologists as different species. Cebus capucinus does not occur in Costa Rica, however. So the images may have been categorized correctly at the time of categorization, however now that the consensus view on the taxonomic hierarchy has changed the category should probably be renamed to Category:Cebus imitator in Costa Rica. Storkk (talk) 15:13, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Pinging @Elmidae: who let me know about the issue. Storkk (talk) 15:17, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for kicking this off. It seems the 2012 study which demonstrated the species split is considered pretty definitive (even though the IUCN are still using subspecies status; but their last evaluation predates this paper by four years), so the rename seems warranted. Peculiarly this category is already a sub-category of Category:Cebus imitator... :) --Elmidae (talk) 16:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
- I agree that the renaming would make sense. It is unfortunate that the species that retained the previous name after the taxonomy split is by far the least common and least commonly photographed, such that it is possible that there are no true C. capucinus photos on Commons. The photos from zoos or without location information are all most likely C. imitator, although can't be absolutely sure. The C. capucinus imitator category should also be redirected to C. imitator, since it is now considered a species rather than subspecies. Rlendog (talk) 17:34, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

- @Estopedist1, Crouch, Swale, and Themightyquill: I also agree in general to making this a dab. I might start the dab with:
- Category:Media (communication) - topical category for media (means) of communication (essentially most current contents can go here)
- Category:Mass media - topical category for media used to reach larger audiences
- Category:Creative works - topical category for individual creative works
- Category:Media types - non-topical category for explicitly sorting by media type
- This is based on a pretty surface-level look, so adjustment is probably in order, but maybe we can get started with this? Josh (talk) 21:12, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Rename to Category:Regional visit of Juliana to Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg 26-4-1951 or perhaps Category:Regional visit of Juliana of the Netherlands to Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg in 1951? Themightyquill (talk) 14:10, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
- First of all: formally you are undoubtedly right.
- But: how many non Dutch speakers will be interested in these kind of categories, compared to the number of people from the Netherlands who are interested, should translate the English text into Dutch every time, and realise it is about a streekbezoek? Region might mean so many different kind of areas, streek is only one of them.
- If it still is mandatory to translate this title into English: I cannot find a good translation for "streek". A "streek" is a small part of a country, it is smaller than a province, but bigger than one city or village; it might contain several populated places and the area in between them. "Region" on the other hand might be much bigger and contain even several countries. My suggestion would be not to translate streek and just name it "Visit of ..."
- About Juliana: she was queen in 1951 and in that capacity she visited this area. So my suggestion would be: "Queen Juliana". Please do not use such an artificial term as "Juliana of the Netherlands": in the Netherlands she is known as queen, princess, even as princess of the Netherlands (and many of other titles), but not as Juliana of the Netherlands.
- So, IF it is mandatory to translate this title into English, my suggestion would be to rename this category into Category:Visit of Queen Juliana to Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg 26-4-1951. JopkeB (talk) 09:40, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @JopkeB: Thanks for your thoughts. This category is in Category:Juliana of the Netherlands in 1951. Her main category is at Category:Juliana of the Netherlands. If you wish to rename all related categories to "Queen Juliana", I would urge you to create a seperate discussion for that issue. For now, a move to Category:Visit of Juliana of the Netherlands to Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg 26-4-1951 sounds fine to me. If you'd like to put in "Streekbezoek Juliana aan Voorne-Putten en Rozenburg 26-4-1951" as a category description, that might help people from the Netherlands find understand it. - Themightyquill (talk) 18:39, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Themightyquill: No, I do not wish to rename all related categories to "Queen Juliana". And I agree with you that the general categories schould have Juliana of the Netherlands in the category title: by year, in art, wearing fur. These are for her whole life, regardless of whether she was princess or queen.
- But during this specific visit she was there as a queen. So I would think that you then use queen in the category name. See also subcategories in Category:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom: by no means all of them have "of the United Kingdom" in the category name. The same applies for many other kings and queens. Or would you change the name of all those saubcategories as well?
- Now for this specific category: I would prefer just Juliana (your very first proposal) over Juliana of the Netherlands. So then it would be: Category:Visit of Juliana to Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg 26-4-1951 or Category:Visit of Juliana to Voorne-Putten and Rozenburg in 1951. JopkeB (talk) 15:31, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
