Merger discussion for Monotypic taxon and Monospecificity

Heyo. So I noticed that you added Category:Disasters in Los Angeles to Category:Wildfires in Los Angeles County, California. Be careful not to over-categorize. Take Griffith Park Fire for example... It is already in Category:Wildfires in Los Angeles County, California... Since that category is now inside the Disasters in Los Angeles Category, adding the article itself to the Disasters category is redundant. Does that make sense? --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:33, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out duplication Zackmann08, & am sorry for mistakes. I think I added new Disasters cat to individual 'LA fire' articles, before adding their parent [Category:Wildfires in Los Angeles County, California] to [Category:Disasters in Los Angeles], and overlooked going back to 'de-cat' those articles. — Look2See1 t a l k → 18:40, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

Non-existent categories

Please observe WP:REDNOT and only create links to categories that exist. If they don't exist, either create the category, or don't create the link in the first place. Just the act of creating a new category will often highlight mistakes - for instance here you created a red-link category Category:Geography of French Southern and Antarctic Lands - if you'd either used HotCat or gone up to the parent category, you would have seen that there's an existing category Category:Geography of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Not only are you making life more difficult for maintenance bots, you're also creating a lot of work for other Wikipedians, who have better things to do than correcting your mistakes. Cheers. Le Deluge (talk) 13:22, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for category I semi-created & used mistakenly. I think I later found the existing Category:Geography of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands & used it on relevant articles, but mistakenly forgot & left the incorrect 'semi-created new one' on a/some edits not closed until days later, my apologies.
Please try not to overdramatize just one REDNOT mistake with "making life more difficult" & "difficulty for bots" & "creating a lot of work" — it is the first WP:REDNOT mistake I've made in hundreds/thousands of new categories I've created over many years, and only a singular humble human error of this type. Thanks for your suggestion, but I have no idea how to use HotCat nor its function/purpose unfortunately. Thank you — Look2See1 t a l k → 19:00, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
@Le Deluge: Look2See regularly creates more work for other editors by wrong categorizing work. The multiple notices posted to this talk page by multiple editors and Look2See's usual silence (Granted they replied here) has had me on the verge of bringing all the complaints to ANI in order for the community to assess his contributions around here. BTW Look2See, when are you going to fix the problems as you were asked here[1]?...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:15, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
@Look2See1 - it's far from the first red category I've fixed of yours, I just don't complain about it normally. But this one would have been easily caught if you were using WP:Hotcat - got to Preferences | Gadgets to enable it, it puts buttons by the category links which allow you to change them with the help of autocomplete. It stops errors like this and allows you to see what other categories are available.Le Deluge (talk) 00:54, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks @Le Deluge:, for the link to WP:Hotcat & set up steps, and also for quietly correcting the other red-link categories I've mistakenly created in past. Sometimes I begin & then pre-populate a 'soon to be' new cat before the final creation, adding Commonscat, & hitting 'save changes.' I won't delay with pre−populating hereon, so neither you nor other editors are not put in a quandary or feel put out to do the final creating set up & save themselves. — with appreciation Look2See1 t a l k → 03:40, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Your good-faith edit of template:Tubestation

Please be extremely careful that other templates transcluding such templates are exceptionally susceptible to unnecessary line break at the end of the transcluded content and the noinclude tag, which breaks many Wikipedia:Route diagram templates. In most cases, the noinclude tag should follow immediately after the last byte of character unless a hard line break is intentional. Thank you. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 06:46, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much indeed for your edit to John Saladino. You left the modest summary, (copy edit, links, refs, cats.) for this edit, in which you basically wrote the whole article based on the sources I haphazardly left on the talk page to ward off hasty deletion. Essentially you did the job I was supposed to do. I'm humbled and I award you this Rescue Barnstar* (in the hope that it isn't premature), with the promise that I will also contribute to expand the article as you have done.

Category:Botanists active in North America

An interesting question about Category:Botanists active in North America is whether "North America" should have the same meaning as in the flora distribution categories, i.e. the same as in Category:Flora of North America. If so, neither Category:Botanists active in the Caribbean nor Category:Botanists active in Central America should be subcategories of this category.

(I've long thought that it was a serious mistake use "North America" rather than "Northern America" in the name of the category Category:Flora of North America; it continually misleads editors not familiar with the WGSRPD system, and leads to the kind of mismatch found here.)

Wilson High School (Los Angeles)

I see you've made significant changes to the Wilson HS page before so I'm contacting you for support. I made many significant improvements in August, and I invite you to look. Since then another editor first deleted a citation with no justification, an anon user undid that change, then that editor deleted the citation again. I didn't notice this until I made another addition to the alumni section in September. At that time I reinserted the citation. But now I find that editor has deleted not just the citation but the whole section of text on "popular culture" that citation was part of. I indicated to that editor (s)he should justify major deletions on the talk page but (s)he just reverted anyway. Please take a look and and if you agree, support me on the talk page. If this turns into an edit war I'm going to have to ask for moderation, but maybe just support from another editor like you will make that person be reasonable and stop.Lapabc (talk) 00:03, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Tree deaths

Hi, please would you move categories such as Category:1890s individual tree deaths out of Category:1890s deaths (etc), as the "deaths" categories are part of Category:Dead people rather than dead animals, plants or anything else. – Fayenatic London 21:46, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying, thought is was parent cat. for all species. — Look2See1 t a l k → 19:36, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Notes / References

Just a short note (ahem) that "notes" and "references" are both acceptable as section header for the footnotes or references section, and that it is usually considered bad form to change one to the other (barring a good reason to do so on a specific article of course). I will not revert back your change here, as it isn't that important, but in the future it may be better to just leave such a header alone. Fram (talk) 06:40, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Fram, in my viewings of numerous articles 'References' is in preponderant use if there is only one header (as your example above). When there are two headers, 'Notes' is predominantly used for inline reference citations, and 'References' for non-inline cited other sources, often print books not online. I've been following that example from the editing community as a 'good form' for many years. I'm sorry that I offended your preferences. — Look2See1 t a l k → 19:45, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Sorting

Per WP:SORTKEY, this is how you properly sort the following:

Use "τ" for templates, not "Ξ". Do not overcategorize by putting templates in both a parent category and its child category. Thank you. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 20:58, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Album categories

Please be more thoughtful about editing these. Edits like this change how literally thousands of album categories are sorted. Why would only one sub-sub-sub-genre of EPs be sorted with a period rather than a plus sign? Please advise. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 18:25, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Similarly here. Do you know of any category for musicians by genre that is a subcategory of an album? How does that make any sense? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 18:27, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Album covers aren't categorized under albums by artist. I've told you this before today, so why are you persisting in adding them to these categories? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 22:50, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Additionally, you are using mdashes in place of ndashes. Please see (e.g.) WP:DASH. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 23:04, 20 October 2017 (UTC)
Do not add artist biographies as the main article in their album categories, please--they are already linked via {{albumcat}}. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:23, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
When there is no [Category:Artist's name] created yet, & only [Category:Artist's albums], then that is the best we can do for directing artists' biography article readers interested in more info at this time. This is especially true when there is also no {Artist's template} to place on Artist's albums/songs cats. Otherwise [Category:Artist's albums] is an 'orphan category' disassociated from the artist. I have created a few new [Category:Artist's name] for some major recording artists with several subcategories. Perhaps you can that for the others that concern you? Thank you — Look2See1 t a l k → 19:34, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
Could you please explain why album covers aren't categorized under albums by artist? If one is looking at an artist's album articles, opening the album cover subcat above for an image seems most efficient. This seems especially true when there is no [Category:Artist's name] created yet, to 'parent-link' all the recording artist's subcats together. Thank you — Look2See1 t a l k → 19:53, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
Look at category:R.E.M. albums and category:R.E.M. album covers: they are interlinked by {{catseealso}}. That's how several dozen of these are done. The album covers are just categories for navigating images, so they shouldn't be categorized under schemes used for articles. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 03:09, 22 October 2017 (UTC)

Per Koavf's comments, do not place "albums by artist" categories under "rappers" and "musicians". Most artists will not have and do not need eponymous categories and it only confuses readers who see albums or songs by an artist inappropriately categorized in a category for people. Remember the artist's article will be categorized in appropriate "musician" categories, so the categories about the albums or songs should never be. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:05, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Also, please don't place an artist's albums category in the artist's article page. Album categories are for albums period. A person interested in seeing category can easily navigate there from one of the album's articles. It's common sense and doesn't confuse reader or clutter up categories with items that shouldn't be there. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:13, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
This is not proper categorization of such articles. Please stop. I recommend you taking these issues above to WT:ALBUMS, if you feel this how it should be done but for now please refrain. Thank you. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:51, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello Look2See1,

It is redundant to add "Category:Members of the California State Assembly" when he is already in "Category:Speakers of the California State Assembly". Speakers are by definition members. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 04:24, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Cullen328, I didn't add Category:Members of the California State Assembly, it was there already & I only 'cat sorted' it. However, since Willie Brown wasn't always Speaker, having that cat. does acknowledge his efforts/public service as a 'basic' Assembly member that lead to his attaining the position. Thanks — Look2See1 t a l k → 04:39, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Category logic?

Hi. Could you explain your logic or rationale for rearranging the categories (here) at Ralph Vary Chamberlin? Generally categories are alphabetical following any eponymous categories, per Wikipedia:Categorization#Articles. Besides modifying one category, I'm not sure your edit changed anything for the better. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 20:41, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

Blaschke not a computational geometer

Can you please explain why you keep trying to put Wilhelm Blaschke, a differential geometer, into Category:Researchers in geometric algorithms, a category for computational geometers, that is, people who study computer algorithms for geometric problems? And also why you are removing him from Category:Differential geometers where he clearly belongs? Although Blaschke survived until 1962, computational geometry was not really studied until well after that, and our article on Blaschke says nothing about algorithms.

Relatedly, when you change an article category, can you please use edit summaries to make it clear to other editors what you are doing and why you are doing it? —David Eppstein (talk) 02:03, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

What is the purpose of this? It is populated by things which aren't lists of countries... You are just making something redundant to Category:Africa-related lists and misnamed. Cf. Category:Lists of countries in Europe. Please fix this. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 21:48, 7 November 2017 (UTC)


What? Category: Lists of countries in Europe is what I linked to you and the precedent is that you're wrong. Stop it. It's such a waste of time to have to come here and tell you that you don't know what you're doing. Did you discuss this with anyone anywhere prior to doing this? ―Justin (koavf)TCM 22:35, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

I see that rather than stop, you've proceeded to do the same to the European categories. Since you refuse to discuss this with anyone or provide even the most basic justification, I'm afraid I'll have to get an admin involved. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 02:17, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
