Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Willem Claeszoon Heda, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Private Collection (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Film categories
Hi. Please see WP:FILMCAT with regards to the top-level country categories. ALL film articles have the main country category on their articles. If you have any questions, please raise them at the Film Project. Thanks.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 12:59, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Films directed by Kim Cheong-gi


A tag has been placed on Category:Films directed by Kim Cheong-gi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Vogue editors category
I'm glad you created that category ... or rather recreated it. Which is to say, let's hope this CfD doesn't recur after 14 years. Daniel Case (talk) 20:08, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link. Well, let's hope together. I don't see the valid deletion reasoning in there. The listing in the article text doesn't equal a category. It's also not the overcategorization but the consistent specification of the organizations' heads. --INS Pirat (talk) 21:50, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Also! the categories like "American magazine editors" don't make much sense themselves. The entries have little in common and, I think, should be diffused. --INS Pirat (talk) 22:20, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Categorizing academic editors
Hi, thanks for your hard work in this area. I have some suggestions on how to make this clearer. At this point, under your scheme many academic editors are categorized to a journal, which then is categorized to a nationality. However, academia is very international and getting more so. For example, the current editor of The Journal of Physiology is a British person working at an American university, so it doesn't seem correct to place the Category:The Journal of Physiology editors under Category:British academic journal editors. Next thing you know, she'll be succeeded by an American editor. I am sure that situations like this will occur more and more frequently (it's already getting very difficult if not impossible to classify journals by country, this basically only is possible for smaller journals published by a national organization). These ambiguities can be avoided by placing "Journal of Foo editors" categories in the Category:Academic journal editors and independent of that categorize academic editors by country. As for the latter, I'll be curious to see how you categorize by country an editor who is a citizen of one country (but perhaps born elsewhere), works in another one, and edits a journal based in yet another one. And then accepts a job offer in yet another country... This is not a contrived example, I know of cases like that. --Randykitty (talk) 14:33, 10 June 2021 (UTC)


 * PS: just to be clear, what I propose is two independent category trees, one "editors by publication" and one "editors by nationality". --Randykitty (talk) 14:38, 10 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, I see you have been active since I posted the above. I'd appreciate if you could respond. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 13:41, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Randykitty, OK, sorry. Well, I think the editor of a journal based in the UK could be reasonably considered as a British editor. But feel free to re-categorize everything in a way you find appropriate. --INS Pirat (talk) 15:13, 25 June 2021 (UTC)


 * So you'd call a Russian academic who is a professor at a French university and the editor of a journal based in the UK a "British editor"??? --Randykitty (talk) 19:28, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * That's what I said. Because of jurisdiction of the object of their editing. But I'm not going to argue over this approach. --INS Pirat (talk) 20:50, 25 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but that is absurd. And, of course, nowadays the vast majority of journals cannot easily be assigned a "nationality": most large publishers have offices all over the world with editorial board members and editors also from all over. Would you then call that Russian academic working at a French university an "international editor"? --Randykitty (talk) 21:41, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think what I said is absurd. And your question actually sounds rhetorical. If your intention is to prevent me from categorizing in the way I described, then, I repeat, okay, I don't really care that much. --INS Pirat (talk) 22:54, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Your recent contributions to Final Approach (1991 film)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Final Approach (1991 film). Aroha Parish (talk) 12:56, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

 * FYI: Aroha Parish is/was some sort of automation that was rapidly reverting others' edits and giving these warnings. Aroha Parish has been perma-blocked.
