Law of Ukraine "to ensure the functioning of the Ukrainian language as the State language"
I saw your reversal of my edit and I think the language you used in the new line is much more acceptable. While Russian speakers may have been discriminated against following the passing of the law, the previous claim of massacres being committed against said population was spurious and was parroting popular Kremlin talking points. I'm not for cancelling Russians, but I am for removing stuff like that.

I do still think reference [4] is a bit garbage though because the guy seems a bit off, but if you want to leave it be that's fine. I just get the vibe he is a pro-Corbyn Labour type (aka pro-Russian lefty). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.78.102.16 (talk) 15:13, 18 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello. Well, it doesn't really matter if the critics are from "leftists", "pro-Corbin", "communists" or "redheads". The referenced link mentions a man who was a head of UN Peacekeeping operations. To say "he is right" just because of that would be a fallacy of recourse to authority (argumentum ad verecundiam); to say that he or they are invalid just because of "who they are", is an ad-hominem fallacy. The fact is that, in such a long and detailed article, it is legitimate and necessary to state that there are criticisms in this regard, and that is an objective fact. Thank you for your message.

Question
Regarding this, what's the use for the category: Category:Galician films in The Beasts? It is a film co-produced by a Catalan company, a Madrilenian company and a French company by a Madrilenian director. The Galician setting in the film is already contained in Category:Films set in Galicia (Spain) and the Galician dialogue in Category:Galician-language films. The film was not even qualifying for the Mestre Mateo Awards. What kind of arcane criteria are you using for adding the category in other articles?--Asqueladd (talk) 06:51, 18 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello @Asqueladd,
 * Thank you for your concerns. While The Beasts is co-produced by Hispanic (Catalan & Madrilenian) and French companies, and directed by a Basque-origin Madrilenian, there are several reasons to consider it also a Galician film: It is based on real events that happened in Santoalla, Petín, grounding it in the Galician context (it's not only "located in Galicia" as TLOTR is in New Zealand, but it refers to a Galician story that took place there); Key roles (and some secondary ones) are played by Galician actors such as Luís Zahera, Diego Anido, Pepo Suevos, Federico Pérez, Javi Varela, Xavier Estévez, etc. who speak Galician in the original version, as you may know. The title is also in Galician (As bestas), even in the French and Spanish versions; And it is included in Categoría:Filmes de Galicia in Galipedia, indicating its recognition within the Galician context. Despite the diverse production background, the film's significant Galician elements justify its inclusion in the "Galician films" category. However, I understand if there's consensus to exclude it based on production criteria.
 * Best regards, Gasparoff (talk) 20:48, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The Galician fictional setting is contained in Category:Films set in Galicia (Spain). The Galician shooting location is contained in Category:Films shot in Galicia (Spain) (or any subcategory). The use of the Galician language by actors is cointained in Category:Galician-language films. LOTR is shot in New Zealand but it is not set in New Zealand. Thus The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is categorised in Category:Films shot in New Zealand but it is not categorised in Category:Films set in New Zealand but in Category:Middle-earth (film franchise) films (a subcategory of Category:Films set in Middle-earth). I actually question any utility for the category you have created other than grouping subcategories of films produced by Galician outfits (which this film is not, not by a long measure), because haphazard and ellusive criteria are not a good recipe for categorization, and they do not follow conventional practices in here anyways.--Asqueladd (talk) 21:04, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * What I did was transfer to English a category that already existed on Wikipedia in Galician, Portuguese, Basque and Catalan. I have seen that it was also created in Arabic from English, although with a different code than the others. Gasparoff (talk) 14:35, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I see what you did, but if there is no intent to connect the category to objective production criteria, I don't think that transfer was a particularly useful idea, to be honest. And still I can imagine more useful ways to address the production angle. Arabic-language Wikipedia categories are automatically created from English-language Wikipedia categories by a bot only by requiring a single (shared) categorised article.--Asqueladd (talk) 14:46, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I also saw what you did by reversing my edit in "The Beasts", and, also to be honest, I didn't undo the reversal either. I understand the criteria of the other wikipedias with that category, I understand your point, and I didn't come here to argue. Best regards Gasparoff (talk) 18:22, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
