Ship Categories

It looks like you duplicated an existing category. Any reason why we can't collapse Category:Naval ships of the United States into Category:United States Navy ships? Mak 21:07, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not create category trees on your own - please use the existing categories, they are well suited for this job, see above. --Denniss 02:19, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Work in progress, but trying to bring over some of the work done to the parallel categories in WP. The problem is that the pre-existing ones aren't as well suited as they might seem at first. We've worked though a lot of this on the WP side, and having the images also better categorized is a good thing. Josh 02:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All I wanted to say was do not duplicate existing category trees, feel free to subcat existing cats if they fit better. It is not needed to divide cruisers into Hevay, light, armored, what else cruisers, just cruiser should be enough. And please do not remove cats by timeline like 1910s ships. --Denniss 02:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Naval ships of the United States and Category:United States Navy ships are NOT duplicates. Naval ships include all military vessels, and the United States Navy is not the only operator of military ships in the United States. Both the Army and Coast Guard have them, as well as there being historical operators such as the Confederate Navy, all of which are naval ships of the United States which would not fit into United States Navy ships. Josh 05:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That seems like a workable solution to the problem of political entities that did not last long, but shared a common geographical location and culture. There are some odd problems though. Does Soviet Union Navy go under Russian Navy then? Also- You are ok with multiple parent categories, right? EG- For the Australian Army, shouldn't the Ozzie divisions from world war I be also listed under Australian army even though at the time they were soldiers of the British Imperial army? -Mak 21:01, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are right, multiple links should be used. It's a judgement call to some degree, but for example yes, 'Soviet Navy ships' should be under both 'Russian Navy ships' and 'Ships of the Soviet Union'. Josh 01:53, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What was the resolution on the Naval ships of [country] discussion? WP's en:Category:Ships by country is pretty tidy- I understand Denniss's point about not needlessly propagating extra catalog structure and I actually strongly agree with him on that. However Naval ships of France was flagged for emptying and some chap dutifully did that. I'm not sure such actions should be taken if there is a dispute in the matter. Under your scheme would there be a separate French Navy subtree, or would it all be under Naval ships of France and there be a subcat for the rare case of naval ships not in the French navy? -Mak 19:45, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh absolutely, WP's cats are the result of some wrangling that was done over the last year, but I think looking at them now it seems worth the hassle. It is hard to debate individual cats if we haven't agreed on an overall scheme, so that's why I proposed following WP's scheme. It's not that WP's is perfect, but at least it has had pretty good results. About the 'naval ships of' issue, personally for France I probably don't see the need for a 'French Navy ships' cat under 'Naval ships of France', but at the same ime if someone made the case for it, I wouldn't necessarily challenge it. Primarily, I see the proper names of navies used both in cases such as Russia and Japan where historical deliniations exist between say the Soviet Navy and the Russian Navy, or in the case of the UK, where the RN is so historically prolific that noone can stomach not having a 'Royal Navy ships' category. And yes, all of these would be sub-cats of the appropriate 'naval ships of X' categories, as you can see with the en:Category:Ships by country on WP. Josh 13:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zug

Hello, concerning Category:Passenger ships of Germany: Zug is a city in Switzerland not in Germany. Best regards --Baikonur 10:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, guess those 3 photos should be recategorized... Josh

Ok.

I'll take a look at the updated ship scheme. By the way, thanks for your work on rationalizing the structure.

Although my style is confrontational, if an good enough argument is made to at least balance mine, then I am willing to acquiece to a proposal that has the bulk of opinion favoring it. I will only make noise if I think that the bulk of opinion is based on not understanding the issues. But after I've said my peace, I'm ok with whatever decision.

Maritime command (Navy of Canada)

You might like to weigh in on this discussion- Category talk:Maritime Command -Mak 17:29, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moving along

I'd like to move along on some part of the ships scheme you proposed- normalization of the Naval ships of Foo categories seems like a good place to start. Someone redirected naval ships of japan to ships of japan and I noted you didn't revert it. Any reason for that? I left a message about destroyers of japan but no answer so I just reverted back to your version.

Is DennisS on board with this/ will he go along? I haven't heard a peep out of him on the category Talk Ships. I don't want this to be a war, but it will be a lot harder to change this as lots of stuff gets dependent on the current set of cats.

-Mak 00:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I've been a little in and out lately with other life issues so I've missed some beats in this discussion. My experience has been that most people don't look at discussions or guidelines but just base their efforts on whatever exists as cetegories at the moment. So until we get them sorted out to the point where it is nearly universal in the actual application, there are going to be things like the naval ships of Japan redirect happening. I don't know where DennisS stands on things and I don't like wars either, so I guess I'll wait and see how it goes. I agree that the 'ships of Foo' standardization is a good starting point for work. Josh 02:19, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I transfered Japanese destroyers -> "Destroyers of Japan" and got no reverts in the last few days so I guess I will do the rest of the Japanese navy and see how it goes. -Mak 05:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I lost this weekend to work, but as soon as I can make time, I will help with the other cats. Josh 18:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No sweat. I don't see a lot of additions in this area, so there is no rush. I am finished with Japan and all cats are redirected. If you have some time, take a look at how Category:Naval ships of Japan now looks. If I am off base on how I did some of these I need to know right away. I also renamed Japanese Imperial Navy to Imperial Japanese Navy, since that's what WP did. -Mak 23:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don t see anything wrong with it, good work. Josh 07:48, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Infoboxes and tagging

Dear Joshbaumgartner! I saw that you put in a lot of effort to elaborate the Info summaries on Commons pictures, like the A-6 Intruder. However, I am not sure if this is really necessary. The Infos given are not different from the ones in the picture description. Especially the USN/USMC tags take up a lot of room. I think commons users will be intelligent enough to look at the respective wikipedia for infos on the plane, and the users. Also, what do you do with an F-16 that is used by many countries, put all flags, emblems etc. there? I think all this information should be elaborated on wikipedia, commons is to provide the pictures. Thanks for any remarks! -- cobatfor 19:49, 22 Jan 2008 (UTC).

Thank you for the interest. For operator tags, only operators of the aircraft in the image are included. Indeed, most aircraft are used by many operators, but if the aircraft in the image is a Pakistani F-16 for example, it would get the Pakistani tag, and if it were a US Air Force F-16, it would get the USAF tag. One wouldn't apply the USAF tag to a photograph of a Pakistani F-16 or vice versa. That would, I agree, not be very useful and would take prohibitive amounts of space. The idea is that the tags do not carry much in the way of information, merely the name of the item and links to the various wiki articles by language. The images are eye candy, admittedly, and perhaps two per tag is excessive and it should be one or none.Josh 08:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose of category templates?

Hi, I've seen you've created some templates e.g. in Category:Aircraft image templates. At the moment I don't see this templates do something usufull, it seems to me they are only an eye-candy. For categorising images we have catagories. But maybe there is a deeper purpose which I don't understand. --Avron (talk) 17:35, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just happened upon your templates (such as Template:Aircraft of the Austrian Air Force), and wanted to ask the same question as Avron. Do these serve a critical purpose, and are they a reliable solution to the problem of identifying objects depicted within an image? (There doesn't seem to be a good reason to identify objects in general in this manner—what's special about aircraft and air forces?) TheFeds 04:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confusion on the labeling of the Dassault Mirage aircraft categories.

Hello, I have some questions in how you are sorting the photos of these aircraft. The two main thing I can cite is the creation of the "Mirage 5B" and the "Mirage 5MA in service with the Chilean Air Force".

On the first category, I cannot find anything that states that there was a 5B version using the list found here woutout a addational letter. If there is a source for it can you share it with me?

Second, I disagree with saying "Mirage 5MA in service with the Chilean Air Force" since this version Chilean Air Force received was given the MA identifier. If this version was only intended for Chile then it would seem redundant to say that it was made for Chile.

Lastly, Why are you not including the Dassault Mirage 50DV with the Mirage 5 in service with the Venezuelan Air Force category? Since the Dassault Mirage 50s are upgraded Dassault Mirage 5s, the should be included.

I wanted to talk to you before I did any further editing so that there is no misunderstanding on each others editing. Thank you for your time.

Articseahorse (talk) 18:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments. There are a number of questions there, and some good points. I think you are probably right about the two categories in question. The 'B' is really a customer designation more than a specific version, per se. Thus, I would agree that it probably can go away and the three Belgian actual variants (BA, BD, and BR) can be directly listed under the Belgian service cat and individually under the 5 sans suffixe, 5D, and 5R categories. I was originally thinking of it along the same lines as the blocks used by some aircraft families, but it isn't really needed. The MA situation is a bit more involved. I agree with your point that the MA only served with Chile, so no real need for two categories. On an aircraft like the Mirage 5, versions were customer-specific, but later used aircraft transfers meant that a version could serve with more than one user, so sub-cats by operator are warranted. For cases where we only have images of the version in one customer's colors, then we should absolutely merge the 'version' category and 'version in service with foo' category. The Mirage 50DV category is really the same deal and should be catted under both 50D version and Venezuelan Mirage 5 categories. There is no intention to create unneeded duplication, but sometimes it only becomes clear after some progress on the project, and means as they become clear, they just need to be merged, no biggie.

An additional note, when merging the categories, make sure to add a Template:Category redirect to ease navigation and categorization, this way speedy cats will automatically point to the correct target. Josh (talk) 07:24, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:F-16 Fighting Falcon by United Arab Emirates Air Force serial number

Hi :-)
You have moved this category, but you haven't moved the subcategories... This category depends on templates, so it can't be made by bot => it must be done manually. Fix it, please. Thanks in advance, Wieralee (talk) 09:07, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Fixed it up. Josh (talk)
