Re:Moth stubs

 * *slaps self with trout* All of the ones in the Lycaenidae family, it seems?   jj137   ( talk )  22:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for giving me a heads up about that. I'll go back sometime in the next couple of days (whenever I have some free time to get it done) and fix all of those.   jj137   ( talk )  03:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're able to tweak the text while you're changing the stub types, that would be great. I can still go back and change them all, but yes, that would be easier.   jj137   ( talk )  01:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Redirect wiggling
I have an excuse :)

I'm working with a slightly glitchy copy of Safari - I can't type anything into the menu bar vwithout it crashiong, so i have to swing from article to article via blue-links, like Tarzan going from vine to vine. If I wanted to make a redirect the normal way, I'd have to open up my sandbox, make a redlink to the desired redirect, preview, click on the redlink, then make the redirect from there. "Redirect wiggling" is quicker :) Grutness...wha?  04:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism
I'm trying to improve this article by adding tags, because the article's sources are non neutral and some of them not verifiable. There is also a discussion going on in the talk page. However, the discussion is still open and some users are reverting my changes, without waiting for it to be over. One of them is also accusing me of vandalism for nationality/racism reasons, which is completely untrue.--EmpD++ (talk) 16:16, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

My 2p
I would like to modestly call attention to an essay I just wrote called "The nature of stub sorters." I am inviting a select few to peruse it at leisure and offer comments or changes if desired. I don't know what purpose it will serve, although I may cite it on occasions when we moppers are more than usually misunderstood. Thank you for reading.

Hi Alai. I've recently been a bit bogged down with work so haven't had much time for stub sorting. Could you help me out by using AlaiBot to sort Chile, seems as you did a great job with Peru.

Chilean region category
The name of the Category should not determine the name of the article. In any case, it should be the other way around. And, as far as I know, there is no policy that a concensus reached to determine the name of a Category should automatically serve to settle a dispute over the name of the article. ☆ CieloEstrellado 13:14, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea why the category was moved to Category:Magellan and Chilean Antarctica Region. There was no concensus reached at Categories for discussion/Log/2008 October 29. You, "Peterkingiron" and "Alansohn" voted in favor. "Dentren" and me voted against it. That is hardly a concensus. I'm notifying the administrator "Kbdankbot" who made the move. ☆ CieloEstrellado 19:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

If your only aim was "consistency" then you should have just followed what the name of the article was back then and create a new category with that name. There was no reason to rename the category and for that to have an automatic effect on the naming of the article. That is not a proper way to handle a controversial matter such as this one. If you are going to rename an article, you should follow the usual path of Requested moves. Your argument of "pure consistency no matter what the titles are" is, I'm afraid, not believable. ☆ CieloEstrellado 01:03, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Stub categories in userspace
Hi Alai -i seem to be fighting a one-person battle here. I could do with more opinions from senior stubbers, either for or against. Any chance you could take a look? Grutness...wha?  22:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Stub category names
Hi Alai - I know we don't see eye to eye on stub category names (Foo stubs vs Fooian stubs), but we do more or less have some form of pattern which corresponds as much as it can with permcat naming. If we start changing all the "Foo stubs" types to their adjectival form, we're going to require hundreds, if not thousands, of category renames which will tie up resources better used elsewhere and may cause considerable confusion in those cases where adjectives have deliberately not been used for permcats. Unless we want to go the whole hog and rename things strictly according to permcats (e.g., "Universities and colleges in France stubs", which IMO is far worse than anything we currently use), surely it's better to concentrate on the few categories which don't follow the pattern we've been using up to now rather than trying to make a wholesale change to all the categories which don't use adjectives? Grutness...wha?  23:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You keep saying that, but it flies in the face of facts on the ground in a large number of cases, and especially of all recent trends at SFR and /P. In fact, if I recall correctly, you seemed perfectly happy with a number of such renames yourself - if that's the case, it's only on those cases where I haven't checked the permcat names, because I've never changed my stance on this. It definitely doesn't fly in the face of the facts on the ground, or of recent trends at SFR and /P, in both of which the adjectival usage has only generally been where the permcats are adjectival. And iut certainly has nothing to do with geo-stubs... unless you think that the most recent example of university-stub is a type of geo-stub?
 * Those aside, the number of cat names that aren't reasonable attributive usages... are not, I don't believe, as daunting as all that.... which suggests you'd like a mix of adjectival and attributive, where we have to guess which one is appropriate in each case? How do we decide which cases to use an adjectival and which to use an attributive, and which neither can easily be used for and we have to fall back on noun? Do we have to regularly refer to a chart in order to discover which one we use in which case? Or is sticking with the sceme used by permcats preferable, which is what I've been arguing for, and which we currently predominantly use?
 * What is completely demoralising is to get part-way, and then to discover someone insisting that the old way was best, let's go back to that. Oh, I completely agree, which is why I'd far prefer we didn't get any way towards the changes before they were nixed. Having to change some back because they've been changed contrary to earlier usage simply wastes everyone's time. As it is, the number of categories we'd have to change if we were to go to a firm muddled mix of adjectival and attributive usages (with regular arguments as to which to use in each case which we use for each country) is in the thousands. Personally I'd far rather we had a system where we know exactly what the stubcat name is going nto be based on the permcat name ("Fooian X" becoming "Fooian X" stubs; "X of/in Foo" becoming "Foo X stubs") than having to work out in each case whether we use "Fooian" in all its weird and wonderful varieties or some attributive usage such as "Fooent" in each individual case, and still have problems in cases where an adjectival or attributive case becomes ambiguous (e.g., cases involving American football). It would make far more sense to follow the lead of the permcats. Grutness...wha?  04:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * "It definitely doesn't fly in the face of the facts on the ground..." That's simply counter-factual. See the examples I've already cited. - I'd say your suggestion that it's counterfactual is counterfactual. I certainly still see considerable numbers of Noun X stubs proposals, and haven't seen you objecting to them.
 * On "where we have to guess which one is appropriate in each case": if you think whether "France university" is normal English usage or not is "guesswork", then sure, use a chart. Certainly it's not guesswork, it exactly parallels a system used by permcats. As I've pointed out, the permcat is at X of France, therefore the stub cat is automatically France X stubs. No guesswork whatsoever. if you start mixing adjectival and attributive, as you suggest, then we've got the mess with needing a chart., The current scheme doesn't have that at all - or at least wouldn't if it was consistent across all cases rather than across 95% as it currently is.
 * Your preference that "we didn't get anywhere towards the changes" is a) itself thoroughly demoralising, and b) in the wrong tense. How long is it that we "de-nouned" and "de-double-pluralised" the B&S stubs? Many, many months, if not years. De double-pluralising has absolutely nothing to do with this argument whatsoever, and suggesting it does have is faintly ridiculous. As to "how long since we've stopped using the noun form for them", that's a very good question. I too would like to know that since they should IMO be in the noun form, same as universities, roads, schools, broadcasting, television, government, and all the other ones which understandably use the noun form. Grutness...wha?  06:07, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Look at the examples that I explicitly cited that follow normal-English-usage, and not your alleged standard. I have. Have you looked at the ones which follow the standard and not the version which you prefer, one which might have us listing such things as "American American footballer stubs" or "Haitian Dominican nun stubs"?
 * "Guesswork"; this reply is entirely misdirected.  You are the person who made that characterisation of my position, hence my reply.'' And that chatracterisation still stands. There is no guesswork involved if you know a standard situation in permcats is reflected in a standard way with stubcats. if there is no one-to-one mapping, which there wouldn't be with the naming you suggest, then yes it would have to be guesswork. The point is that there would need to be guesswork under the system you suggest, whereas there wouldn't be under the system we've used up until now.
 * I see no fundamental difference between de-nouning, de-pluralising, and indeed de-prepositioning. They're all motivated by generating names that keep the sense of the parent, whilst managing to sound vaguely like something some sort of actual English speaker might say.  yes and no. Everything can be de-pluralised without losing its sense. Not everything can be turned into an adjectival form without losing its sense, but if you do it with some you should - if you weant to be in any way consistent - do it with the lot. Problem is, that leads to confusion in those cases where the permcats deliberately steer clear of adjectival forms to avoid confusion. Even if we were to attempt to adjectivalise everything, as you've pointed out we would need to fudge the rule to allow some attributive cases to reduce confusion. Your average punter is unlikely to sport the subtlety of the difference between Nigerian and Nigerien, let alone between Congolese and Congolese, Chinese and Chinese, or Dominican and Dominican. We're doomed to have those six, plus any others which may or may not be too hard for some (is Burkinabé too hard? Maybe... what about Kittitian-Nevisian? Perhaps... where do you draw your arbitrary line?). The system can never be uniform and will always have arbitrary changes between adjectives and attributives. If we use nouns where permcats use nouns, and use the same boundaries for adjectives and attributives as permcats when they use them, then we do not have a system that is in any way arbitrary - it is based entirely on that for permcats.
 * If we're going to alter the form of the permcat in the name of "following" it, the question is, how much. well, that is already explained purely and simply by the standard rule I've already mentioned several times above, but which you seem to think is in some way unlikely.
 * However, I mentioned them together here because both were done for the B&Ss: And to answer my own earlier question: for the B&Ss, we did the first and the second (not needing to do the third, since such forms have rarely, if ever, been in use) over two years ago.  In that period, I don't recall ever hearing anyone comment on how lamentable it is that we no longer have "France building" categories:  not even you. Quite possibly because I rarely have anything to do with Building and structure stub categories.
 * You've yet to address what I see as the fundamental disconnect: do you ever imagine that names of such a form would be acceptable in the permcat space?  That one would ever have "France geographical Xs" or "Germany building Ys", if some such compound were required? Certainly not. Neither do I think that one would ever have a permcat for "French books" or "Indian settlements", or "Dominican religion", since they are too ambiguous.  If a permcat is in the form "X of France", then there's certain to be a damn good reason why it isn't at "French X", and it would make perfect sense for us to use a noun form, too. if we make the stub cat "French X stubs", then we'll hit that problem sooner or later and have to live with it. Given the tortuousness of such stub category names as "Geography of France stubs" or "Roads in Rome stubs" (do you, perhaps think this would be the same as "Roman road stubs"?), we do the best we can by avoiding both such forms and adjectives but still using something which has a clear one-to-one mapping with the permcats.
 * Ah, it doesn't matter in the long run anyway, I suppose, especially since I'm getting so sick of Wikipedia overall that I'm not sure how much longer I'll be sticking with it. It's all too much of a hassle and no fun at all these days. I certainly won't want to be around once you realise just what a mess thiswill become if you use adjectives for everything (well, everything except the random assortment of attributives applied when the adjectives are confusing or two hard, or maybe not too hard, or maybe...who knows?...)

Hello Alai, I see that you've briefly edited a couple of days ago so I'm hopeful that you'll eventually read this note! I don't know how much sense this makes technically but if you're considering retiring from Wikipedia (I sure hope that's not the case), could you give part of the Alaibot code to some other operator? It does a lot of great work which is sorely missed. In particular, the uncategorized articles team is sitting there, just waiting for articles to arrive. :-)
