Hi. Can you split Category:Choral conductors by nationality?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:28, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Can you try to populate Category:Bach musicians and start Category:Bach singers,Category:Bach conductors, Category:Bach choirs and Category:Bach music ensembles. Musicians should probably be split by instrument like Bach organists etc and perhaps by nationality, e.g German Bach conductors. Basically any article which mentions them being heavy reciters of Johann Sebastian Bach.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:41, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking of something along the lines of Category:The Bach Choir people for people associated with The Bach Choir. Tim! (talk) 20:10, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I'm told there are a lot of biographes relevant to the above found in Mass in B minor discography, St Matthew Passion discography and St John Passion discography.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:45, 5 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 in the United Kingdom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lancaster (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello. Just thought I'd note the difference between Category:Science fiction-related magazines (magazines *about* SF, rather than containing SF fiction) and Category:Science fiction magazines (magazines containing SF fiction) with regard to the magazines SciFiNow and TV Zone (and more specifically Category:British science fiction magazines). There could possibly be a need for Category:British science fiction-related magazines? You're doing a great job categorizing, but here I think you may have missed the subtle distinction! Cheers, Stephenb (Talk) 07:35, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, a very subtle distinction indeed! Tim! (talk) 20:20, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Populated places in Portugal. Can you split cities and towns and villages and order them by district of Portugal. So many villages which are not cities or towns. Also the parishes should also be applied the same cat on top of the parishes category/ The categories are currently a great mess, poor for navigation.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:35, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Blofeld that it's a mess but I thing that what you been doing is not correct.

A municipality (or concelho) it´s not a place (villages, cities or towns) but a division of district and in most cases constituted by parishes (or freguesias). In other words "Country->District->Concelho->Freguesia".

I give you the case of

Covilhã Municipality

that sould be mantained on "Category:Castelo Branco District" like it was before, since it´s "not a place" but a region/zone.

Txus, NelsonCM (talk) 20:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Probably there need to be more categories along the lines of Category:Municipalities of Braga District created for each District. Please note that though you say what I have done is incorrect, there are many municipalities in the towns and cities categories which are subcategory of Category:Populated places in Portugal. Tim! (talk) 05:52, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please note there was a "Renaming to convention established on Wikiproject Portuguese Geography".

In portuguese WP, usualy the city/town hasn't that much information and it is described in the muncicipality/concelho page and in the en:wp since some people didn't "Avoid creating locality pages since they are not legal entities, nor do they usually have enough information to make them more then perpetual stubs.", as recommended by the Wikiproject Portuguese Geography, you are both wright: " there are many municipalities in the towns and cities categories" (I believe because of the renaming that didn't included a recategorization) but not all, like the cases of

Aveiro district) that are cities/towns that are not in the Category:Populated places in Aveiro District

. Shouldn't they be in this category?

I´ve started the Category:Municipalities of Aveiro District and will try to organize the municipalities but if you talk in towns and cities... well, that's another ball game!

So. I think this is a question to be adressed in the

Covilhã Municipality

shoud be merged? I don't know.

Best regards FilipeFalcão (talk) 12:25, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

When I say that what you, Tim, "have done is incorrect" I mean, to be more explicit, that taking them out from the "Category: XXXXX District" is wrong, when the natural subdivision of "District" in this case is "Municipality". I know they are still there but they are under another layer "Populated places" and yes, a "Category:Municipalities of XXXXX District" would do the trick but that trick wasn't needed before. And while someone is at it, create also the "Category:Municipalities of XXXXX" acording with the NUTS to be included in Category:NUTS 2 statistical regions of Portugal and Category:NUTS 3 Statistical Regions of Portugal. The newest and correct information can be found here pt:Anexo:Lista de concelhos por NUTS.

If you, Tim, want to put Municipalities on "Category:Populated places of XXXXX District" go ahead but that has the problems that I've said related with cities/towns. And one more thing: since all the Municipalities (in wich all the Portuguese land is divided) are "Populated places" does this mean all Portugal is a "Populated place"?

I agree with Filipe and let's put it for discussion, specialy the merges. Maybe even this was already discussed in PT:wp and they may say how they went about. After that change from "Name" to "Name Municipality" you can now find pages about cities/towns that speak about the Concelho and the other way arround. Also most of the who writed that part about "perpetual stubs." was wright but on the other and, the Coat of arms, for instance, it's for the cities/towns and not for the "concelho", right? Txus, NelsonCM (talk) 01:37, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

From my perspective the article on Municipalities with no seperate article on the town centre mean "Municipality and town" into one article so technically they should probably have Municipality of xxx district and Populated places in xx district in. Unless of course there are separate articles. Category:Towns in Portugal is still a mess, largely because meany of them contain no content to work out which district they're in.☠ Count de Blofeld 15:04, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you split Category:Populated places in Panama by province?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 15:29, 1 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tim, seasons greetings. I created Category:Compositions in B-flat minor. I wondered if you could go through some of the lists of symphonies or whatever by key and categorize them by key? Gerda and I think such categories are very useful for finding pieces in a given key.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:31, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that! Stands a good chance of it being kept though. Sometimes people try to delete some of the most useful categories! Can you split Category:Populated places in Stockholm County by Municipality like Category:Populated places in Karlskrona Municipality?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 20:35, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly nothing for you to apologise for! Tim! (talk) 21:05, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Tim! Can you create building categories for each

Added the Spanish categories, if you could add them as you create, just add the province name at the end, see some of the examples i've done. Don't worry about them being unpopulated grin grin.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 10:38, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if France has building categories for each department, I think most of them do have. Can you check by creating Category:Buildings and structures in France by department and linking each one in it like Category:Buildings and structures in Hautes-Pyrénées. If you then compare the list of departments of France and the category you should be able to route out any missing categories, if there are indeed any. Anyway, tomorrow will ensure no empty categories for the Spanish buildings.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you split Category:Opera directors by nationality?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll make a start, do you think Category:Opera composers should be also be done? (there will be some overlap so may be easier to do at the same time). Tim! (talk) 19:48, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, but I'd ask at the opera project before you do that as they tend to have some rules. Opera directors should be fine though.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have a somewhat ambitious request. I want a category system which links together all categories on settlements and organized by country. Something like Category:City categories and Category:City categories of Afghanistan etc by country fed into it. Basically I want to keep tabs on how much development has gone into cities by country.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:44, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you thinking of something along the lines of Category:Wikipedia categories named after districts of England ? Tim! (talk) 19:17, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

or even Category:Wikipedia categories named after cities which has a few countries but needs expanding. Tim! (talk) 07:09, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that appears to be it. But those are maintenance categories, I think we should have city categories ordered within the encyclopedia.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:24, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I have a bit of a problem with the ADF article being categorised "1976 establishments in Australia" and "Military units and formations established in 1976". I would have less problem with a date of 1901, but even that has its problems. Obviously, "somebody" co-ordinated the three arms (well, initially two arms) of the military in the period 1901-1975 - but they didn't have the name "ADF". The ADF is still a somewhat nebulous concept - no-one is employed by the ADF; even the current Chief of the ADF is still employed by the Australian Army. I don't know what the best solution might be. (But removal of those two categories you added would remove the problem!) Your thoughts? Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 13:16, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

hi, I have a request. Can you create Category:City halls and find all of the categories which exist like Category:City halls in Spain etc and feed it into them, also can you do the same for town halls and have town halls feeding out of the city halls category? Several American states have categories. Can you create an organized system and perhaps also find uncategorized town hall articles?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:18, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quite a few are based in Category:Seats of local government. I'll look around see if more need to be created. Tim! (talk) 12:21, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of city and town halls might help but I think its far from comprehensive!!♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:22, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I should think each country needs its own list! Tim! (talk) 12:23, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, can you merge all of the city hall and town hall categories into Category:City and town hall categories then? That seems to be the consensus which I agree with to avoid duplicaiton of city and town. Category:City and town halls in Spain would be better, and I think it would be sensible to redirect Category:City halls in Spain and Category:Town halls in Spain for each country as a lot of editors will create one or the other.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:24, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Carmen Media is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carmen Media until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:06, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I removed items that occurred prior to May 1st for the simple reason that the state had not been created then. This article should begin at May 1st 1707, the point at which the state came into being.

Hi, thought you might be interested in Mais oui!’s latest escapade. On the John Logie Baird page there was a dispute over whether to give his nationality as ‘British’ or ‘Scottish’. A compromise was reached to use ‘Scottish-British’. Predictably, Mais oui! refused to accept this and continually edit warred it to ‘Scottish’. He finally recruited an admin, Lectonar, to revert and then lock the page (Pending changes protection) on the grounds of violations of the biographies of living persons policy (the salient point here is that Baird died in 1946). In the meantime, every editor who disagrees with him he accused of sockpuppetry.
