Category:Animal behavior

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was merge back to Category:Animal behaviour --Kbdank71 15:30, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

A new editor systematically moved everything out of the existing Category:Animal behaviour presumably because of a dislike of British spelling. I didn't like the lack of discussion and don't think you should disturb the acceptable unnecessarily ('-iou-' is acceptable). Rather than repeatedly reverting (I did start) I place it here. Marskell 22:56, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and move them back. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 04:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Moving the listing w/o discussion was bad behavior, but now that it's there we might as well keep the correct spelling :-). Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 05:57, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and move them back. Wikipedia policy is to leave national varieties of English, in international articles, alone: the first user establishes the pattern. Otherwise it ends up with wars (e.g. people battle over color vs. colour in articles, caring more about spelling than whether they break links). Notinasnaid 09:55, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as long as we have the policy to keep everything in the spelling that happened to be used when the article (or cat) was first created (and if you don't like that policy, please make a better suggestion). Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 10:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and move the articles back to category:Animal behaviour. CalJW 14:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and move back, let's try and respect each other. Hiding talk 14:44, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Move back, but retain a categoryredirect for the other spelling. -Splash talk 17:28, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Change it to "Ethology" and defuse the whole issue

The result of the debate was rename as nominated --Kbdank71 15:07, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

The following should be renamed to the standard "in" form for man made objects in line with the parent Category:Museums in Canada. There is no valid reason for Canada to be different:
 * Category:Ontario museums --> Category:Museums in Ontario
 * Category:Ottawa museums --> Category:Museums in Ottawa
 * Category:Alberta museums --> Category:Museums in Alberta
 * Category:British Columbia museums --> Category:Museums in British Columbia
 * Category:Montreal museums --> Category:Museums in Montreal
 * Category:Quebec museums --> Category:Museums in Quebec

 * Rename - Darwinek 10:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename for consistency. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters's dislike of the word "in" must make writing English prose a challenge, but it would be worse if she felt that way about "the" or "and" I suppose. Bhoeble 12:33, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was rename as nominated --Kbdank71 14:55, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Rename to match majority of articles in Category:Wars by country. (Note:Somebody inserted the tag a while ago, but there seems to be no entry here, so I did it. Mkill 00:15, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose An usually high proportion of Japanese wars were internal. Bhoeble 12:37, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. I thought this was already covered by the earlier umbrella proposal. Kirill Lokshin 13:39, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Bhoeble, disunified Japan isn't exactly "Japan" 132.205.45.110 19:24, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: This WAS already covered by an earlier umbrella proposal.  See  --Kbdank71 20:09, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename, this should be a speedy per the earlier umbrella. I don't see the relevance of Bhoeble's comment, internal wars of Japan are still wars of Japan. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 10:43, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose This illustrates that the policy is wrong. There are many wars which are relevant to country categories but which were not fought by the unified modern state. CalJW 14:04, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Rename Official policy for wars is 'Wars of Foo' format. See 'Naming conventions (categories)' for official policy.  I fail to see why Japanese wars are a unique case warranting breaking policy. Joshbaumgartner 16:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
