Totally unnecessary. Of course we have also a Category:Qur'an reciters from Egypt which has been kept apart from this cat. Probably we should make a separate exclusive Commons for Egyptian issues. E4024 (talk) 02:39, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, Sheikh means head in this job title and official Rank. The Quran reciters are a specific group of scholars withs specific education. In Arabic شيخ المقارئ المصرية. It's an official job title. It's a high rank. It's present in Egypt and in other muslim countries. At any point of time there is one Sheikh of Quran reciter in each country. His job involves being the reference in all reciters and supervision of Quran recitation schools (12,000 official schools plus maybe same number non official schools allover Egypt).--Ashashyou (talk) 05:50, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regards regards. Certainly you have an explanation also for why you added it to Category:Qur'an reciters and not Category:Qur'an reciters from Egypt, which is also under Category:Sheikhs from Egypt, even after I attracted attention to this issue upwards. The idea is making "more visible" anything Egyptian, right? Continue opening parallel cats, please. --E4024 (talk) 13:10, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like a valid category to have 'leaders' of a profession as a subcat of that profession. Seems some recatting is required, but easily done. Perhaps it should be renamed Category:Sheikhs of the Egyptian Quran Reciters as there are more than one. Josh (talk) 22:56, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing deletion of the following categories relating to the supercontinent "the Americas":

Reason: The only content in these categories is subcategories for North America and South America. There is no need to have these categories for the supercontinent when the only content is specific to its component continents. I believe these categories were created when a user decided that "the Americas" should be considered a continent instead of North and South America separately, so this request is part of cleaning that up. --Auntof6 (talk) 07:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They are there because they have a parent category where they should be located and found as expected. They don't add any irrelevant classification, are small, and avoid leaving files orphans in a less relevant category. So they immediately link to the North/South subpages where appropriate, and the fil upload wizards find their correct way to properly subclassify the pages.
They don't take space except a few entries, and require no maintenance. There are contents that are relevant to all the Americas and not just to one part of them and it would be unsuitable to classifiy them in just one or some of these parts.
If contents can then be subclassified in only one part, of course they can be moved there, just like all other parent categories in Commons.
It has nothing to do with your "considered a continent" argument. You probably still don't understand how upload wizards are trying to find relevant the most categories: they progress from any parent to find if there are child categories. Many users don't know how to properly subclassify contents manuyally, they just use the upload wizard which is then stuck and cannot subclassify correctly if there's no relevant parent category. This automatica classification is based on the description texts, which is often defective: if we provide at least a parent category, the uploader will also see candidate children categories and know where to place their content, and then can also adapt the descriptions. Suhc parent categories with little content (except subcategories, where apporopriate) really help the maintenance verdy_p (talk) 21:18, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We don't always need to make parent categories for every possible geographic level where a topic could be located. Categorizing by supercontinent isn't meaningful in most cases, because 1) most things are not specific to a supercontinent as a whole (they are specific to a smaller area), and 2) people don't tend to search by supercontinent. Most people probably don't give supercontinents any thought at all.
Note that I'm not nominating every "Americas" category: The specific categories I've nominated here don't have any individual files, and wouldn't need them because any given image would be specific to a smaller area. By the logic you describe, we would also need categories in every topic for progressively larger areas such as hemisphere and even planet. Those make sense for some things, but not for everything. Commons has standardized its continent boundaries so that all land is included in a continent, so most things, especially physical things, don't need to be categorized at any higher level. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:13, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete I also think it's unnecessary and unhelpful. And its deletion would make its parent category, Category:Images by region, also unnecessary. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:20, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep I would keep the parent category, America is a continent and therefore as we have it for Asia, Afrca, Europe and Oceania it makes sense. What it does not make sense in my view is the category "Images by region" where you have only Americas in it. That one should be deleted. Desyman (talk) 12:10, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Desyman: There are several ways of looking at where divisions between continents are, and some of them consider the Americas to be one continent, as you say. However, Wikimedia Commons uses a model where America is not a continent, but a supercontinent, and North America and South America are continents. The graphic on Category:Continents illustrates this. --Auntof6 (talk) 13:46, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The other "fiqh" cats -probably opened by the same user- do not have the Al- article. I'm sure there is an "Arabic" explanation to this; but Commons is in English. E4024 (talk) 00:51, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Question Category:Fiqh is a subcat of Category:Sharia, as "Fiqh" is the human understanding of "Sharia" (roughly equivalent to the concept of jurisprudence in other cultures), so "Al-Shafi'i" (the Sharia) seems superflous, and it would seem that "Fiqh" and "Al-Shafi'i Fiqh" would basically mean the same thing. Am I missing somthing or are these two equivalent? Josh (talk) 21:59, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The cat(s) opener has tried to create subcats for different schools of belief in Islam; but like in other cases, a bit disorderly, one begins with an "al" article, the other does not etc. (Maybe I am obsessed with order, that is another possibility. :) --E4024 (talk) 02:35, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@E4024: I get it, but since Commons is in English, it should really be "Sharia Fiqh", but as I said, this seems quite redundant as I am not aware of the idea of non-Sharia Fiqh existing. I would defer to one more expert on this question though. In any case, if we keep the category, it should be renamed. Josh (talk) 22:04, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not a useful subcategorization. It currently has only one file, and no obvious parent like Category:SVG architecture in Russia. Themightyquill (talk) 14:54, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, not okay. I don't think it's a fundamentally useful category structure, but instead of engaging in discussion first, you've instead potentially made someone more work to delete all these new categories you've just created. These are "SVG buildings" (whatever that would be) -- they are SVG images that contain icons of buildings, floorplans of specific buildings or rooms in those buildings, generic floorplans of building types from a given country, 3d renderings of buildings, all with the most tenuous link of national boundaries. Over half of the sub-categories you've created still have only one or two images. I simply don't see the benefit of subdividing Category:Buildings in Turkey to Category:SVG buildings in Turkey or Category:SVG buildings to Category:SVG buildings in Turkey. It also contributes to the further intersection of content category tree with format category tree, which I think is a bad idea all around. - Themightyquill (talk) 20:10, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is working with SVG files not important for users? These are especially valued image. I created categories according to the pattern: Category:SVG Wikimedia logos (intersection of content category tree with format category tree). That's why I created these categories, because it is scientifically convenient to find the right building in vector format by country. Perhaps you have even better suggestions? Yours faithfully, — Niklitov (talk) 22:19, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Scientifically convenient to find SVG images from some building, any building, in a country? How so? It doesn't follow the pattern Category:SVG Wikimedia logos - dividing logos (art) into the way they were created makes far more sense than dividing "buildings" into SVG images, much less subdividing that by country. Moreover, that category also would have an enormous amount of images if it wasn't sudivided, whereas Category:SVG buildings (already a problem in my view) would not even 200. - Themightyquill (talk) 19:26, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Niklitov: No, absolutely not. We create categories to organize what we have in a logical and useful way, or perhaps to mirror content on wikidata. Neither of these is true of this category tree. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's an explanation of where to place files, not how to create categories. Otherwise, we should create a category specific to each file. In that case, we could put File:Solikamsk dom voevody VL Plan.svg in a new Category:2010 black and white SVG images of the facade of Voivode House, Solikamsk.

Category with a single subcat or "Category:Christian scholars", consisting of Category:Catholic clergy scientists and another cat. Although the people in there seem to be "religious people" I have my reserves against this kind of classification, except for "men of religion" like rabbis, imams, bishops etc. I also do not like so much similar categorization in other religions; -for example- "Category:Muslim scholars of Islam" although it has some reasoning (people who study their own religion).

BTW I may understand -not approve- cats like "Jewish actors" because "Jew" both refers to religion and ethnicity; at least this is the generally accepted view, and this people is dispersed all over the world.

In summary. I propose to get rid of categorization based on religion like Islamic doctors or Catholic scientists for civilian careers. Let us use the religion factor only for men/women of religion. E4024 (talk) 03:11, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agree we should not include the religion of a person (even where such religious affiliation is well established) except for those cases where it is specifically relevant. The religion of scholars in general is not relevant. If I am a scholar of military science, it is irrelevant what church I attend. If I am a scholar of religious studies, it IS relevant what religion I specialize in studying, but again, it is irrelevant what my personal faith may be. So it is fair to have a category of "scholars of Christian theology", but not relevant to have a category of "Christian scholars". Certainly, categorizing doctors or scientists or tax attorneys by their religious affiliation is completely pointless even if it could be verifiable (which is dubious). I agree with E4024 to rid ourselves of these categories. Josh (talk) 17:59, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The subcats clearly show this is a wrong categorization. Since when are poets (and the people under the other two subcats) "workers"? I would delete this cat, because the only people I could add there are imams, muezzins (who make the call to prayer) and "vaiz" (preachers by office) which would make none of them happy. "Worker" normally refers to people who work "physically", like making a wall. "Religious leaders"? Islam does not have such a hierarchy; Muslims do not need anybody to make their prayers. Delete the cat and let's all hope the cat-opener follows -at least, as they never participate in discussions- these CfDs opened continuously. E4024 (talk) 14:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can see just removing this category from the poets subcat, but maybe moving the missionaries and scholars up to Category:Muslims by occupation. By the way, I disagree with your definition of worker: not all work is physical. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:13, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Muslim religious workers should include all who conduct activities (as a professional occupation or even on a voluteer basis) on behalf of the religion. I am not terribly familiar with the structure of the religion so I can't speak to particular jobs that may exist or not within it (imams, muezzins, etc.) However, it does seems that this category has cats like 'poets' and 'scholars' that do not belong here and yet is missing cats such as 'chaplains', 'imams', etc. Being an adherent of the religion, and even reflecting it in your work does not make one a 'religious worker', so even if a poet writes beautiful pieces centered on Muslim faith, they are not a Muslim religious worker.

They are most definitely not condemned a priori to contain only one file. You can certainly propose deletion the the grounds that they currently contain only one file, but surely they could contain more files. See Category:Two tax collectors by Marinus van Reymerswale (National Museum in Warsaw). If you delete them, your proposal is what? Upmerge the images to Category:The Money Changers by Marinus van Reymerswale even though they aren't all called that?

upmerge to Category:The Money Changers by Marinus van Reymerswale. The closer one. Sammyday (talk) 13:19, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's appropriate to put paintings called "The money changer and his wife" or "The tax collectors" in a folder called "The Moneychangers."

I'd keep the one with multiple files. I'd also keep the one that's after van Reymerswale, just to emphasize that it isn't by the primary artist.

Does another raw beef dish from Chile exist? Upmerge Category:Crudo to the parent categories. Themightyquill (talk) 06:09, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know. Nevertheless if upmerged, it should be "Crudo of Chile", since there are crudos in other places, and with diferent preparations and variations.3BRBS (talk) 21:04, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@3BRBS: I can't find any references to dishes called crudo elsewhere, though it does mean "raw" in Italian, which could lead to confusion. Perhaps we could move to Category:Crudo alemán? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:02, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That category proposed wouldn't be accurate, since it means in Spanish "German crudo", which implies is German, and the Chilean version is obviously not German but Chilean, eventhough it seems to have roots in the German traditions from the German immigrants to Chile. Also, no body calls it that way either, making it unclear (To clarify, "crudo" in Spanish just means "raw," and in this context is the "raw meat dish"). Moreover is it hard for me to believe that German immigrants would not accquire this tradition somewhere else, and if so, they probably have their own particular local names, and yet, it is also hard to believe that this receipe is not common to Austria, Poland and other close countries. So therefore the question. Why is so important this category in particular to you?3BRBS (talk) 00:38, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to be fairly commonly used, and even if it's just a name that people recognize in Chile, it's clear enough. Just "crudo" is obviously ambiguous since, as you say, it just means raw. Category:Crudo alemán could stay in Category:Meat dishes of Chile. If the dish exists elsewhere, I can't find any references to it under that name. Variants might well exist in Central Europe but I doubt they would call it Category:Crudo alemán. - Themightyquill (talk) 07:30, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't seem to be a category tree at Category:Ship stations and it's not a term I'm familiar with. Is this redundant with Category:Passenger ship terminals? Or is there another category tree we could be joining? This applies to sub-categories too. Themightyquill (talk) 09:06, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a direct translation of "Hajóállomás" but it doesn't work in english (see en:Ship station). It could be translated as "port" or "harbour" but in this case, I think passenger ship terminals seems accurate. Globetrotter19 Do you have any better ideas? Category:Ship station in Vác would become Category:Passenger ship terminal in Vác unless Category:Ferry terminal in Vác (see Category:Ferry terminals in Hungary) would make more sense. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:04, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is problem. Also problem, there are varied type of "Hajóállomás" can be found in Hungary. The 'Passenger ship terminal' does not pass to it because is a subcat of the buildings (Transport buildings) and "Hajóállomás" is usually without building. Maybe the simply port or Passenger port will be better. The "Hajóállomás" mostly a simply 'móló', these are just a couple floating barrels or cylindrical containers covered with planks, however the Lake Balaton ports also have a part which call also 'móló' but those are allways stone/concrete structures.
About the Category:Ship station in Vác (GPS 47.780396, 19.122595) maybe the Category:Passenger port in Vác can be right, the Category:Ferry terminal in Vác an other 'institution' see here Category:Vác-Tahitótfalu ferry (Hungary) (GPS 47.777147, 19.125133). By the way a 'real' ferry terminal in Hungary,-in my interpretation,-can be only Tihany-Szántód ferry. I hope it could be helped. - - Globetrotter19 (talk) 09:32, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Globetrotter19: I can see your concern, though I don't think Category:Passenger ship terminals is strictly only for buildings. Many ferry terminals don't have buildings per se, but not all have a pier (móló) either. Those can be categorized separately. We can upmerge to Category:Ports and harbours in Hungary but that's a much broader category. We also don't have Category:Docks in Hungary for Category:Docks by country. Could that work? And if things don't translate well, we should keep them in Hungarian. What about Category:Docks in Vác with Category:Váci Hajóállomás as a sub-category, and images of the Vac side of the Category:Vác-Tahitótfalu ferry (Hungary) either free images or in a new sub-category Category:Ferry terminal in Vác? Or could "Váci Hajóállomás" be confused for the ferry terminal? - Themightyquill (talk)

Móló and pier are definitely the same. (Similarly with the Badacsony móló.) Smaller floating infrasture where boats might tie up would, in my opinion, be considered just wharfs, or docks. If, by "Fonyód ship station" you mean Category:Fonyódi hajóállomás épülete, I think it should be renamed Category:Fonyódi hajóállomás building or Category:Fonyódi passenger ship terminal. If by "Fonyód ship station" you mean the pier where ships stop, then Category:Fonyód pier. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:40, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Themightyquill's suggestion (redirect to "Category:University and college faculty by country") seems a bit suspicious, but we haven't Category:University and college faculty or ;Category:Academic personnel--Estopedist1 (talk) 20:38, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest using the word "educators" as an umbrella term for all employees (not only professors but also lecturers, teachers, counsellors, librarians, lab technicians...) involved in education at an institution (not only unis but also colleges, institutes, high/secondary schools, vocational training schools, primary schools...).
Proposed cat tree would be
Educators
Educators by country
Educators of the United Kingdom
Educators of the United Kingdom by university or college
Educators of the University of Cambridge
Professors of the University of Cambridge
Lecturers ..
Research scientists ..
...
Educators by educational institution
Educators by university or college
Professors by university or college
Professors of the University of Cambridge
Educators by high school or secondary school
Educators by primary school
University teachers redirects to Educators by university or college. Roy17 (talk) 15:49, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Roy17: A nice idea, but not all professors are educators, since "Research professors" exist, so you'd still need university and college faculty as a parallel (and mostly redundant) tree. I don't think it's worthwhile. -- Themightyquill (talk) 14:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To me, "research professors", being employed in educational organisations and engaging in academic research, are educators. Roy17 (talk) 13:57, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Category:Munitionsschlepper I. Sd.Kfz.111 is just another designation for the same vehicle. Josh (talk) 07:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 ; Munitionsschlepper auf Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.A:Gerät 35 (Sd.Kfz.111)

 ; Munitionsschlepper auf Pz.Kpfw.Ia:
 ; Munitionsschlepper auf Pz.Kpfw.Ib:

the name, "Munitionsschlepper I" ,refers to all types of ammunition carrier variants of based on Panzer I chassis, includes factory-made or field-modification types.

on the other hand, "Sd.Kfz.111" is only refers to Gerät 35, based on Panzer I Ausf.A chassis, factory made, not field-modification types.--Brakeet (talk) 15:27, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. this is only my understanding, if my knowledge is wrong, I'm sorry, thanks--Brakeet (talk) 15:53, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Brakeet: I think you have the right understanding. The enwiki article is unfortunately missing citations for that section, but it does seem to mirror the notation used by Chamberlain and Doyle in their book where they describe 51 vehicles being made as factory modifications to Ausf. A tanks, and a later order to make field modifications under the Ia and Ib numbers. No real details are given on the detailed differences between them, and the names used to refer to them seem inconsistent as well (e.g. Chamberlain and Doyle add "Sd Kfz 111" to the title of both sections for factory and field modifications.) Unfortunately ammo carriers made from obsolete tanks were not much of a draw for World War II photographers so there are not a lot of images out there. Here on Commons our job is pretty simple though. We have a single image (a CGI model). Thus it is perfectly fine to just have it under the umbrella name "Munitionsschlepper I" and for all other names to point to that one location. If a treasure trove of imagery of these vehicles is uploaded in the future (one can hope!), we can worry about sub-categorizing at that point. Josh (talk) 21:58, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We do have Category:Life and teachings of Jesus Christ‎ to deal with all the subcategories. Perhaps we could creates something equivalent for Muhammad? Perhaps something that could also include the content in Category:Diplomacy of Muhammad (currently under discussion at Commons:Categories for discussion/2019/04/Category:Diplomacy of Muhammad. I'm not sure where it would go other than Category:Muhammad though, since the similar categor for Jesus goes under Category:Bible stories. Perhaps Category:History of Islam (though that's maybe a little backwards...) - Themightyquill (talk) 20:59, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion also includes all "Locations along X" subcategories.

What is the benefit of these categories? Even if they were fully used, would there be a significant navigational benefit to having the I-70 category contain the categories for Rabbit Valley, Fruita, the Eisenhower Tunnel, Burlington, and Denver? A category for I-70 makes sense of course, but a category tree for "settlements, natural features, and other things along I-70" isn't particularly helpful. Nyttend (talk) 04:47, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The "Locations along X" sub-categories are a solution proposed by and, so far as is known, first used by Famartin to address a categorization problem. While the solution is not perfect, it is a really good one, as explained by the following examples:
  • In the case of the referenced Rabbit Valley (Colorado), Interstate 70 is a major feature within the valley. Therefore, according to standard practice, Interstate 70 in Colorado would be included as a subcategory within the valley's main category (just as the California Trail is a subcategory of the Western United States). However, since the vast majority of the information contained within Interstate 70 in Colorado has nothing to do with Rabbit Valley, doing so doesn't make much sense. The next alternative would be to put Rabbit Valley as a subcategory of Interstate 70 in Colorado, but this just reverses the problem, such as in the case of Denver, Colorado. While Interstate 70 is a major transportation feature within Denver, Colorado, the vast majority of the information in the Denver, Colorado category has nothing to do with Interstate 70. Furthermore, by having Denver, Colorado (and similar categories) as a direct category of Interstate 70 in Colorado adds way too many categories within the Interstate 70 in Colorado category.
  • The Locations along X categories allow for a logical connection between these categories. By having Rabbit Valley as a location along Interstate 70, users recognized that Rabbit Valley is only one feature along Interstate 70 in Colorado. Likewise, by having Denver as a location along Interstate 70 in Colorado, users recognize that Denver is also only one feature along Interstate 70 in Colorado and should expect that nearly all of the material within the Denver category will have nothing to do with Interstate 70.
  • In case of the referenced Eisenhower Tunnel, since it is an integral part of Interstate 70, it should be included as a subcategory of Interstate 70 in Colorado and not as a subcategory of Locations along Interstate 70 in Colorado.
As previously indicated, the categories are a work in progress, with the states of Utah and Virginia taking the lead. Finally, what may seem to be an exception to the Locations along X categories (but really isn't) is if the road (usually not applicable to Interstates and U.S. Routes) is located entirely within the main category. (For example, since all of Colorado State Highway 26 is located within the city limits of Denver, it should be included as a subcategory of the Roads in Denver, Colorado, rather than having Denver, Colorado included as a subcategory of Locations along Colorado State Highway 26.

If a subcat is named "Category:Females with white headgear in art", then it is totally legit to open a CfD about if the correct word for these and similar cats is "headgear" or "headwear"... E4024 (talk) 20:08, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/01/Category:Headwear by color. - Themightyquill (talk) 07:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating this as a representative sample of countless similar categories created by User:ComputerHotline.

IMHO, the problem here is clear from the horribly bloated category title alone. This is a horribly unwieldy attempt to create a category for every potential combination of equipment. Common sense alone makes clear that this sort of thing isn't remotely workable if taken to its logical conclusion; look at the hierarchy for this category alone.

This sort of over-categorisation isn't useful. This type of thing should be handled by improved search tools, not by a futile attempt to capture every potential combination.

I've discussed this before, but never got round to taking it beyond the nominated sample cases back then:-

The question is, where do we draw the line between useful categories (e.g. Category:Taken with Nikon D7100) and ones that are obviously *not* helpful like this? I'd like to get some answers and consensus we could use as the basis for what categories to keep, and what to get rid of.

(I don't want this to come across as too critical of ComputerHotline. He's uploaded numerous images which are of a consistently high standard, making him a valuable contributor to Commons. But... I disagree with him on this specific point!)

@Themightyquill: Ah, that's interesting- thank you. Yes, the examples given in Commons:Categories for discussion/2017/02/Category:Taken with Canon EOS 60D and Canon EF 100mm F2.8L Macro IS USM still aren't as OTT as the one above. The various categories listed there are only combinations of two, which one *might* be able to argue a case for with a straight face (which isn't to say I'd agree with that).

I do not think there would be only "one" file here, in this cat, if there is only one file that means there is some categorization mistake. E4024 (talk) 20:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just followed the rules that I observed in Commons. There is no need to search too much, you immediately realize that in Commons there are hundreds, thousands of categories with a single photo.

Regards.--Montesita (talk) 06:21, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is not having a one-file cat but that "having one file" shows that there is a categorization mistake. Even looking at the categorization of that single file you can see this. Lately you have been making so many categorizations (reverting yourself at many occasions) that I think by myself: Why does s/he not make a study in their own user page, find out a good categorization scheme and then apply it? Please look into some of my reverts of your categorization contributions. (I will not add the links.) You add to "one image" "Riders of this or that kind of motorcycle" while the person in the image drives one of them. I revert you and tell you (at the edit summary) that that category is for the whole cat of that person ("rider"). To no avail: You go and do the same this time with another file. It is very good to be modest in life. My philosophy: Look around and try to learn from others. Not only believe "I know everything". (Valid for myself also, as I said: "I try to learn", everything.) I tried to follow your categorization (of motorbikes and their "riders") from the beginning. I got dizzy. Did you not? Just look back, review your contributions and tell me. Whatever, someone will have to correct "some" of your contributions. Not me though, because I know so little about these bikes. I began to follow you to learn a bit but probably now I'm more confused than before. Take care. I thank you all the same for the effort. Better than not doing anything. Please solve this mess and make me ashamed. I kindly request you to make me ashamed for questioning your contributions. I will be proud of you.

Couldn't this one file go in Category:Supersport racing in the Netherlands and Category:Supersport races, and we can delete the other two? - Themightyquill (talk) 10:28, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I totally disagree , Montesita did a good work in my opinion: 1. "Supersport racing" is one thing (it's about the motorcycle road racing type "Supersport" categorized by country. 2. "Supersport competitions..." is another thing into the first (about the competitions of this kind of sport by country, that are a subclass of "racing"). 3. "Supersport races" is a subclass of "competitions" because the other one should be "racing series". I did't see any mistake by Montesita, but only a correct "DEEP" categorization. Deleting what you said is only to "simplify" the things but overall is not a great thing in my opinion.--Lou6977 (talk) 12:40, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
However i agree with other two opinions in that sense: i think it could be better categorizing that file as "2009 XXX Supersport Championship in Assen" or similar and then categorizing this cat in "2009 in XXX Supersport Championship" (now i don't know what racing series is that race part of, XXX could be "World", European", "dutch"...).

Yes, i agree with you in this sense, but i was replying to Themightquill who would delete some correct categories.

@Themightyquill: I think that should be a little bit "too deep" , imho, but you're right. :D However i'm not so "technically" educated in motorcycle racing but, as i know, Superbike and Supersport are similar but can be treatened as different categories. I don't know why you asked to us, is plenty of information about that in the web. Surely Montesita can help us, but he resigned from COmmons i believe.--Lou6977 (talk) 10:22, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Estopedist1: So, what is the point of those changes? Are you removing categories of low admininistration level like a municipality? Anyway Category:Nature reserves in Sieraków should be removed, it refers to the city of Sieraków, which doesn't have any nature reserves (Nature reserve Buki nad jeziorem Lutomskim is situated just outside the city border), but there is also „gmina Sieraków“ (municipality) which has 4 nature reserves. So you can move that only one nature reserve to Category:Gmina Sieraków or create Category:Nature in gmina Sieraków and put it in there. But as I can see, other categories with nature in municipalities have been removed too so first option remains. Pikador (talk) 09:38, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In another CfD I have defended to use the words "Belly dancers"; I hope we will choose the right path.

I would like to know more about this person because the current categorization only implies he was the head of some Sufi grouping in Egypt; and as such a one-file cat may not be necessary. Do we not even know his birth and death years? What do we know about him that made us make a special cat when the only file does not even depict him?

(BTW the original English text on the file prefers "el" and not "al" as Arabic definite article and I like that; regrettably here in Commons we tend to use "al". When I say "we" I mean Arabic-language users. I'm not one of them.) E4024 (talk) 20:22, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem strange to me since I'd instinctively see the two as the same, but reading en:Islamic extremism and en:Islamic fundamentalism suggests there may be an important difference: one can be a religious fundamentalist without supporting violence, but (by some definitions) extremism always includes a willingness to commit violence. Certainly, there's a difference between en:Christian fundamentalism and en:Christian terrorism, so I would hate to merge the two parallel categories only in the case of Islam.

Today, I was about to close this discussion with consensus "Rename to Category:Dense sets", but on second thought I realized that (1) trivially dense sets (like a completely black rectangle) would belong to this category, too, and (2) none of the Mandelbrot images would belong there (e.g. the lower right corner in File:Mandelbrot Cypress Underbrush.jpg is not a limit point of any sequence of non-black pixels). It seems that the limit image of the sequence shown in File:Zoom around principal Misiurewicz point for periods from 2 to 1024.gif would be the only dense set shown below this category. - Jochen Burghardt (talk) 10:34, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
