Merry Christmas!
Seasons greetings amigo. I was wondering if you could create build categories for Italy like Category:Buildings and structures in the Province of Vibo Valentia and a by province category like Spain. You might find possible entries in many of the church categories etc. If any end up underpopulated I'll try to create some stubs and fill them out a bit.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:28, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Could be a big job, but at least its broken down by region to start with. Italian wikipedia breaks it down even further to by commune! Tim! (talk) 20:37, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah it's crazy how much is missing, and those communes often have sub cats like churches too!! Really appreciate your help, I've taken care of the inter links. What would be good now is to start building some sort of organization by country by in Category:Buildings and structures by country subdivision and create categories by subdivision for every country!. Category:Buildings and structures in Algeria by province etc.. A great task of course but it would be a very constructive and useful one I think as it will show how sparse coverage is in parts which could be fleshed out to even up coverage. If you're interested or not interested let me know, I can take a stab at a few myself. Maybe as a long term goal :-] There must be quite a few existing already though which haven't been caught.

I've started Category:Buildings and structures in Portugal by region, can you subdivide them by Districts of Portugal and populate? The region categories also need creating like Category:Centro Region, Portugal♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Can't believe the regions didn't even have the categories yet! Tim! (talk) 10:08, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think gradually we need to go through the A-Z of countries, no rush though! I was wondering, can you create Category:Buildings and structures in Germany by district ? We have a lot of articles but poor geographical organization on here. List of districts of Germany mmm I didn't realize there was 402 districts. It's probably also too big a task for you.. Perhaps the ones which have a fair number of articles are worth starting first, the top 30 or 40 districts by articles?... User:Bermicourt who does a lot of great work on German translations might be interested in helping build new categories by district.♦ Dr. Blofeld  15:50, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I can certainly start it off, and see what happens. Tim! (talk) 09:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

King John's Hunting Lodge, Axbridge
I noticed you added Category:Hunting lodges in England  to King John's Hunting Lodge, Axbridge, however it is very unlikely it ever was one (and definately not for King John). What is the criteria for adding to this category?&mdash; Rod talk 21:34, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Apologies for thinking soemthing with "hunting lodge" in its title is a hunting lodge. Tim! (talk) 21:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Probably a bit of spin/marketing. Although the building is from the 15th century (at least 200 yrs after King John) the title was first used in the early 20th century!&mdash; Rod talk 21:39, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Problem on article Whoniverse
The article Whoniverse has for some time been almost completely unsourced. Recently I attempted to begin a discussion about trying to clean it up. This was met with what one user called "sarcasm". Reading Wikipedia Policy, User:GraemeLeggett and I are attempting to turn it into something properly encyclopedic(including providing 3 WP:RS). However, another user, User:G S Palmer is repeatedly reinstating unsourced material. He/she also seemed to think that another unsourced Wikipedia article somehow verifies the Whoniverse article. This is very frustrating, as User:GraemeLeggett and I have started to improve what was an unsourced essay, only for User:G S Palmer to reappear, completely ignore the discussion, as well as Wikipedia Policy, and revert it back to the earlier state with no WP:RS, even removing the Sources that GraemeLeggett and I added. I see that you were involved with this article in the past, and as an Admin, I would enormously appreciate your intervention and judgement. Thank you. 41.132.179.212 (talk) 19:01, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The very title is cringe-worthy; and wouldn't be averse to seeing the article deleted or redirected to Doctor Who. Tim! (talk) 08:21, 16 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello. Same IP user as before. Unfortunately a user called User: G S Palmer is making blanket-reverts to the same article, adding rambling, totally unsourced OR and POV. There are users who are trying to tidy up the article, but G S Palmer's persistent reversions, and refusal to enter into any of the discussions on the discussion page are creating more and more problems. I would appreciate it if you could at least look at the edits, and make some sort of judgement. Thank you. 41.132.49.185 (talk) 12:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Painters
Hi. I was wondering what you think about the most suitable name for painters by century. We currently have Category:18th-century English painters and Category:Italian painters of the 18th century. My feeling is that the first naming convention is better. But shouldn't they all be consistent? Perhaps User:BrownHairedGirl also has some thought on the matter.♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I also prefer the former title. Tim! (talk) 22:06, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi folks, consistency is certainly v important in category names. Makes it much easier to maintain them, and much easier to navigate them.
 * The convention of Category:18th-century Italian people by occupation is "18th-century Italian fooers", and the Category:Italian painters of the 18th century is an exception.
 * Category:18th-century painters follows the same convention, tho with a few exceptions. So "xth-cent Fooian Fooers" is the convention of both trees, and the Italian category should be speedily renamed per WP:C2C.
 * Are you 2 ok with me making that speedy nomination? -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:21, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Quite agree, of course. I wasn't sure how many countries had a different system or if Italy was the odd one out, I didn't check but there's no reason why it should be named differently!.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:32, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * OK, I have nominated it at WP:CFD/S for speedy renaming. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:25, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Edits to Scottish and Welsh articles
Please desist. Scotland and Wales are considered countries for religious purposes, as indeed they are for most sporting purposes. I can only assume you are doing this out of some colonialist motive.--MacRùsgail (talk) 13:07, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

I suggest you take your notion to WP:Scotland before you continue on your one nation claptrap.-MacRùsgail (talk) 18:18, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Why would you remove this categories, when as I have stated, at least twice Scotland and Wales are treated as countries for religious purposes? (Wales less so.) Most major religious organisations including the Catholic Church, treat Scotland as a country in its own right. With this in mind, I am perfectly within my rights to claim that you are ignoring such factors.


 * If you continue to do this, I will take this elsewhere, and I shall revert your edits. No, it is not within "category" guidelines. It is as ridiculous as removing Scotland from sporting categories which refer to it as a country.-MacRùsgail (talk) 08:08, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Firstly, learn to distinguish between criticism and insults. If I was genuinely emotionally abusing you, or whatever you wish to call it, I would be using far more colourful language than this.

Secondly, you do not understand categories yourself. Now read this again, and digest (it is not a personal attack or insult, it is a fact) - SCOTLAND AND WALES ARE TREATED AS COUNTRIES FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES, SUCH AS RELIGION. Therefore, religious categories about Scotland and Wales are entitled to be in the "by country" and "Europe" categories. The Church of Scotland and Roman Catholic Church in Scotland, are national bodies, and not part of a UK set up. Please research such matters before making generalisations. Thirdly, as with many people of your tendencies, you have failed to draw this matter to the attention of the people on the Scottish and Welsh wikiprojects. I suggest you do. But then again, you might consider any disagreement with you "a personal attack".-MacRùsgail (talk) 09:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Syria
Hi. An editor in good fath has created a problem with the categories. Can you empty all of


 * Category:Villages in Aleppo
 * Category:Villages in Daraa‎
 * Category:Villages in Hama‎
 * Category:Villages in Al-Hasakah
 * Category:Villages in Homs‎
 * Category:Villages in Idlib
 * Category:Villages in Latakia
 * Category:Villages in Rif Dimashq‎
 * Category:Villages in Al-Suwayda
 * Category:Villages in Tartus‎

and replace with Category:Villages in Syria. They were kept in one for a reason. We have e.g Category:Populated places in Hama Governorate etc. The editor has begun creaitng stubs for Category:Villages in Hama‎, can you remove the categorites and replace with the populated place ones by district with e.g Category:Populated places in Hama District etc.. You can use Template:Hama Governorate etc for guidance. Every village is supposed to be categorized as Category:Villages in Syria to exist alongside the populated places by district cats for convenience.♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:49, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Can you pop Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Chicago, Illinois and Category:Defunct theatres ?♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:48, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

I'll try to categorize some but you're always the master at this sort of thing!♦ Dr. Blofeld  09:54, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Former theatres is for demolsihed buildings and defunct is for buildings that were once theatres and now something else? Tim! (talk) 16:22, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

I think so, obviously there's going to be some overlap though. If anything though "former theatres" implies that the building still exists and was formerly a theatre!

Can you recat the Boston ones in Category:Music venues in Massachusetts with the Boston cat? I've been sorting out the US jazz clubs! Category:Jazz clubs in New York should probably be renamed Category:Jazz clubs in New York City I think, although I could find some clubs from the wider state to start.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:34, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Category:Works by Kurt Gödel
Hello. You have categorised a number of things in Category:Works by Kurt Gödel which are not "Works" in the sense of books, or similar, but are abstract mathematical entities created by or named after him, and might better belong in a List of things named after Kurt Gödel. I would suggest that On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems is a Work, because it's a published paper, but Gödel's incompleteness theorems are not, although they are enunciated in that work, beacuse they are theorems.

Scottish categories
Another know-it-all that seems to be unaware that Scotland is treated as country for many purposes, despite not being a sovereign state.

Take this to Wikiproject Scotland before you remove all of these categories, they are there for a reason.-MacRùsgail (talk) 18:18, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
 * See above where you made the same argument, I have no intention of repeating myself. Tim! (talk) 18:20, 7 October 2014 (UTC)


 * You are repeating yourself. You're still not getting it at all. Scotland has its own national church. It has a national rugby team. It has national wrestling teams in the Commonwealth Games and elsewhere. It has a national theatre. You choose to ignore this, and presumably you are either politically motivated or just being incredibly gauche here.-MacRùsgail (talk) 18:24, 7 October 2014 (UTC) p.s.

New York Agreement
You are correct that the agreement belongs in the 1962 history of Indonesia and the Netherlands, but is the article correct to say that it is an agreement between the two nations rather than an agreement proposing United Nations administration and allowing Indonesia to administrate the territory? The agreement looks to be related to the |UN Charter chapter 12 and perhaps the |American plan from early 1961 as adjusted to suite the |Indonesian request in December 1961. As to speculations in the article about the US motives, I would have have thought the US record http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1961-63v23/d153 was a better or more reliable reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.184.77.57 (talk) 23:18, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
