What is the difference between Category:Russian national costumes and Category:National costumes of Russia? Can these two categories be merged (into Category:Traditional clothing of Rusland, see Commons:Categories for discussion/2020/07/Category:Traditional clothes by country)? JopkeB (talk) 04:52, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- More than 50 ethnic groups live in Russia. The Russian ethnos is basic, but not unique. Costumes of all ethnic groups are included in the category of costumes of the Russian Federation. A similar example. The English costume and the United Kingdom costume are not synonyms either. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 05:50, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- I think that it is necessary from two categories Category:National costumes of peoples of the Russian Federation and Category:National costumes of Russia make one. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 06:18, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- User:Лобачев Владимир, thanks for your contribution. So there are three categories, two of them can be merged, I agree. And what about the third one, Category:Russian national costumes, in what way does it differ from the other two? JopkeB (talk) 11:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

- User:Лобачев Владимир, thanks for your contribution. So there are three categories, two of them can be merged, I agree. And what about the third one, Category:Russian national costumes, in what way does it differ from the other two? JopkeB (talk) 11:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Category:National costumes of peoples of the Russian Federation schould be the parent category.
- Category:Russian national costumes is one of its subcategories.
- Category:National costumes of Russia is redundant; you transferred the categories and media already to one of the other two.
- Are these conclusions correct?
- If yes, then:
- After we checked wether it's parent categories were all transferred to one of the two remaining categories, we'll need a redirect for Category:National costumes of Russia to ?? To which of the two remaining categories?
- There is still another problem, about the parent categories of both categories that will stay:
- (1) They partly have the same parent categories, what is at least odd, but should not be so because of over-categorization and
- (2) Category:National costumes of peoples of the Russian Federation misses at least one category with the name of the country in it, to distinguish it from Russia, something with the Russian Federation and clothing, culture and/or folklore. Unfortunately Category:Russian Federation does not exist anymore, it has a redirect to Category:Russia. As a solution we could reopen it, there are indeed more categories with this problem (having "the Russion Federation" in its name but wihtout a parent category with this name; instead they have parent categories of Russia). How do you think about this? Do you know another solution?
- JopkeB (talk) 09:39, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- I propose to rename Category:National costumes of peoples of the Russian Federation to Category:Traditional сlothing of peoples of the Russia. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 12:56, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- That is good! I have still some questions:
- "People of the Russia" does not sound correct to me (but you are the expert). I think it is "Russia" without "the" OR "the Russian Federation", with "the". What do you think: Should it be Category:Traditional сlothing of peoples of Russia, Category:Traditional сlothing of peoples of the Russian Federation or really Category:Traditional сlothing of peoples of the Russia?
- How will the category structure be? Problem (1) will not be solved by implementing this solution. (Problem (2) might be.)
- JopkeB (talk) 13:01, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Can be called Category:Traditional сlothing of ethnic group of Russia? --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 16:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that seems a good idea to me, that will say: Category:Traditional сlothing of ethnic groups of Russia, if it may be groups (plural). There are still some issues:
- There still will be one parent category that is in Category:Traditional сlothing of ethnic groups of Russia as well as in it's subcategory Category:Russian national costumes, namely Category:Clothing of Russia . I propose to remove this parent category from Category:Russian national costumes (the parent category about clothing is still in it's other parent category Traditional сlothing of ethnic groups of Russia). Do you agree?
- Am I right that categories with "Russia" in the category title are about the country Russia, the whole country, and that the categories with "Russian" in the name are about (costumes and clothing of) ethnic Russians? If yes, then it seems to me that there are subcategories in Category:Russian national costumes that belong in Category:Traditional сlothing of ethnic groups of Russia, like the categories with "National costumes of Russia" in the name. Could you please look into that?
- JopkeB (talk) 13:12, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, this name is more accurate – Category:Traditional сlothing of ethnic groups of Russia. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 16:00, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
- OK! I'll make the changes and close this discussion if I don't come across strange things anymore. JopkeB (talk) 09:16, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

- Category:National costumes of peoples of the Russian Federation and Category:National costumes of Russia have been merged into the new category Category:Traditional сlothing of ethnic groups of Russia.
- Category:Russian national costumes has been kept for traditional clothing of the ethnic Russian people; the name has been changed to Category:Russian traditional clothing because of harmonization.
JopkeB (talk) 10:32, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
Note: The new category has been changed to Category:Traditional clothing of ethnic groups of Russia because in the proposed new category was a cyrillic small c (0x441), instead of a latin c (0x63). (See Commons:Village pump/Archive/2021/10#What is the difference between my "c" on a Latin keyboard and "с" on probably a Cyrillic keyboard?). JopkeB (talk) 15:15, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Spinus notatus is correct, Category:Spinus notata is not - the first description was for Carduelis notata, that does not count, because Carduelis is female. Since the species was moved to the genus Spinus the name for the species has to be Spinus notatus.

No need to categorize the business separately from its founder (the business existed only for a few years during Fiol's life, and the printing was always under his personal name.) Category is also probably mis-named, as I've seen no evidence the business was ever called by anything other than its owner's full personal name, Schweipolt (or Swietopolk) Fiol. Category was created by known abuser User:Sibinia, apparently with a hoax agenda of dissociating the printing house from Fiol. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:19, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Umbenennung in zutreffende Kategoriebezeichnung "Frau mit Delfin (Pirna). Trotz anderslautender Informationen kann ich keine Umbenennung vornehmen, vermutlich, weil ich nicht der Autor bin. VSchagow (talk) 10:59, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- @VSchagow: I don’t know why you can’t move it either. Regardless, the current name is obviously very poor. I wonder, though, if the “woman” is supposed to be Aphrodite, or perhaps a nymph. If the work is untitled (or the title is lost) I would also avoid implying that the category name is an actual title, by beginning the name with Statue of.
- Google-Deutsch: Ich weiß auch nicht, warum du es nicht verschieben kannst. Unabhängig davon ist der aktuelle Name offensichtlich sehr schlecht. Ich frage mich jedoch, ob die „Frau“ Aphrodite oder vielleicht eine Nymphe sein soll. Wenn das Werk keinen Titel hat (oder der Titel verloren geht), würde ich auch vermeiden, den Namen der Kategorie als tatsächlicher Titel zu bezeichnen, indem ich den Namen mit Statue of beginne.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 22:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
Hallo, Odysseus1479 die Bezeichnung "Frau mit Delfin" entspricht der korrekten Bezeichnung in der "Liste der Kulturdenkmale in Pirna" und ist auch in der Fachliteratur so dokumentiert.

- @Mjrmtg: Category:New Jersey photos by Jim.henderson is part of my personal category tree of hidden cats. Perhaps it makes a good precedent for other personal cat trees, or perhaps not, but it's not a good precedent for the ordinary kind. Seems to me, pictures of New Jersey or Florida or whatever, ought to be directly in the purely topical cats, ie in Category:New Jersey or whatever and its non-user subcats. Those non-user subcat trees will have many more branches, as there are many images of Newark, for example, and most ought to be subcategorized by such criteria as neighborhood, object type, year, or whatever else will help editors find illustrations for Wikipedia articles or whatever other use.
- My photos of a particular place like New Jersey can also be in my personal photo subcat tree for New Jersey by year and county and maybe eventually for my own pix of Ironbound Newark or other neighborhood. Photos are the only kinds of images I make. Insofar as there ought to be author-oriented categories, I figure it is proper to build cat trees, eventually, for images by author and type, so as to help, for example, in comparing different image creators. Perhaps I'm doing that wrong, but if so, it should at most misguide my fellow constructors of personal, hidden category trees. Builders of public, purely topical cat trees should not follow that example. Perhaps I ought to put some such warning on mine. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:48, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
- There's no way that an editor or user can distinguish between whether something belongs in Category:Images of State X or Category:Photographs of State X. They seem redundant to each other, and I would propose we choose one.
- There is already a complete set of categories Category:Photographs of State X, under Category:Photographs of the United States by state. Thus, I would propose deleting Category:Images of State X.
- All of the personal categorization of Mjrmtg and Jim.henderson would be preserved. We'd simply move the per-state personal categories (e.g., Category:Alabama photos by Mjrmtg) to be under Category:Photographs of State X by photographer, creating any of those that are necessary.
If we can get consensus on this, I'm happy to do the grunt work to clean this up. Hope this convinces other editors. — hike395 (talk) 07:07, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

- Is this discussion still open? When I see things like this, I tend to think they came when images were transferred from Wikipedia to Wikmedia Commons, and whoever carried out the transfer didn't add a more appropriate category. On occasions when I transfer pics from the main wiki, I don't use "images of," or "photographs of" anything, and the latter is only used for special occasions, like "Photographs of train stations taken by trains," or "Aerial photographs of Long Island," or something like that. ----DanTD (talk) 13:30, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

- I would prefer to keep this one and delete (or redirect) the other, because it seems unnecessary to mention the year. OTOH if the same work appeared in multiple editions over a period of years, this cat should be a parent to the other. If there are different works under the same title (which seems quite unlikely in this case), they would be better disambiguated by author or publisher than by year. Moreover on both cat pages I see you’ve given a date of 1885; if there’s any doubt concerning the year, it would be best not to use it so definitively!—Odysseus1479 (talk) 18:50, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Such monstrum categories should be deleted at once. Same systematic clutter also exists in Wikidata, see eg Wikidata:Talk:Q50375210 Estopedist1 (talk) 19:41, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Unless there's any evidence that the contained people go by "Donald Alexander" in everyday speech, AND that there are enough of such people to justify a category, I would also favour deletion. == Themightyquill (talk) 22:14, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

No need for "the", cf. parent Category:People of Telangana. Fayenatic london (talk) 14:08, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
- I've also tagged Category:Maps of the Hyderabad State, Category:Architecture of the Hyderabad State, Category:Art of the Hyderabad State, Category:Banknotes of the Hyderabad State and Category:Military history of the Hyderabad State since this would apply to them as well. -- Themightyquill (talk) 08:46, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Why not redirect them? I don't see how deleting helps anything as people will still be searching for them and Hotcat automatically corrects it if you use the old name. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 09:44, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Donald Trung: If you feel this conclusion was reached in error, please start a new CfD for the category with your concerns and proposal for change there. Thanks! Josh (talk) 02:42, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
What is this category about? Advisory bodies do not need to be about law; management consultants are about business, rarely about law. See also Commons:Categories for discussion/2021/04/Category:Management consultants. JopkeB (talk) 15:26, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- Then it is also not correct on the Dutch Wikipedia, see (here)? There it is also in categories "Burgerlijk recht" (Civil law (common law) and "Bestuursrecht" (Administrative law)!

- I see in the Dutch Wikipedia that this category is about advisory bodies for the state/government, not in general; I do not see anything like Management consultants there. Solution: I suggest that we keep the parent categories about law, add one about government bodies because that parent category is missing (in Wikipedia it is "Orgaan (organisatiekunde)"; perhaps we can use Category:Government organizations), but remove Category:Management consultants here because that is not about advisory bodies for governments. And perhaps we should search for other Advisory bodies (to governments), there must be more of them, in the Netherlands, Belgium and many other countries. JopkeB (talk) 13:56, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oké, That's good! And I have "Category:Management consultants" deleted. Antoine.01overleg(Antoine) 15:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oké, That's good! And I have "Category:Management consultants" deleted.
User:Antoine.01 So we have an agreement about the solution and you already made a small change. Since you started this category I suggest that you at least help with the performance of this solution. I think this should be done:
- Add a proper definition/description to this category
- Add a proper category to this category about government bodies because that parent category is missing (in Wikipedia it is "Orgaan (organisatiekunde))
- Search for other Advisory bodies (to governments) in the Netherlands, Belgium and many other countries.
- Perhaps make subcategories by country.
JopkeB (talk) 03:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
@User:Antoine.01: Since it looks like there has not been any progress in a year, I suggest to delete this category, because:
- there is only one subcategory and nothing else
- Category:Government agencies is a very good replacement; the one subcategory might fit into Category:Government agencies of Belgium
- we don't have to do all the work involved to make this a proper category.
How do you think about this suggestion? --JopkeB (talk) 12:00, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

That file being sourced from the same publication that was removed in a DR should also be removed. The category can then be removed as empty.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 07:56, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Keep I think this name is actually better spelt than that of the cat that contains the content at present: states, years, &c. in the middle of a sentence or title should have commas both before & after.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 22:42, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- "Old maps of Virginia, in the American Civil War" as a category name? That seems to be necessary with the templates. Looks weird to me, but I'm not an American. --Enyavar (talk) 22:51, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, @Enyavar, I should have specified state names (or years) when preceded by place-names (or dates). So both Old maps of Virginia in the American Civil War and Old maps of Norfolk, Virginia, in the American Civil War are correct, but not Old maps of Norfolk, Virginia in the American Civil War. (This is not a particularly American rule; see the enWP Manual of Style.)—Odysseus1479 (talk) 23:23, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- So, your idea affects all categories that go "<xyz> by state(,) <zyx>", and you need to specifically change the underlying code of template:Us states to reflect that. Most uses are just "sport of <State>", so no comma is needed for "Category:Sport of Washington, D.C." . But then there are "Category:Washington, D.C. in the 1960s"; that would require a change to include the comma. So, how many categories that use the template with a suffix? How are we going to implement this conditional change? All the best, Enyavar (talk) 05:11, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Fred Kallaste is not notable person, but several images can be used at other topics, like cabaret or some events Estopedist1 (talk) 07:14, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- Fred Kallaste has appeared on television in Sweden several times most notably in advertisements for Nordea and Cherry. His appearances have included spoken lines. He has also appeared in hundreds of cabaret performances in the USA and in Sweden. I don't know where this uninformed opinion came from. Something personal going on? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 12:51, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- More importantly: whether or not a person is notable is irrelevant to there being a category with images pertaining to him or her. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 13:08, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

- Keep @Estopedist1 and SergeWoodzing: If we have images of a person, it is desirable to have a category for that person to collect said images. If the images are deemed out of scope and deleted, then that category will be empty and speedy deleted. However, so long as the images remain, the category should remain.

- That's one possibility. Agudat Kedushat Zion is also ok. The main issue is that we should use Latin letters, since most people can't read the Hebrew alphabet, and only become confused and feel alienated when they see Hebrew letters. I hope more people will give their opinion on what to call them. --Jonund (talk) 17:28, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
- Given this organization does not seem to publish in any language other than Hebrew, any English translation would be a bit of a creative work, so I think simple transliteration would be the better option, and "Kedushat Zion" seems reasonable. Josh (talk) 04:48, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
