Template:Women politicians by nationality and century category header[edit]

Template:Women politicians by nationality and century category header does not handle redirects and is creating umpteen redirects - see User:RussBot/category redirect log. Can you please stop sticking these templates in en masse without making sure they cover all circumstances. Timrollpickering (talk) 13:16, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, I did check and resolve this issue, by manually creating redirects for all the categories. And when the template didn't behave as expected, I hand edited each one so that it would work. So please don't assume that I'm doing this without checking and fixing. relevant example diffs [1], and my edit history [2] Mason (talk) 13:20, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please extend me some good faith here? I'm not doing this thoughtlessly. If you know why

{{Category redirect|{{Title demonym}} women in politics}} does not work with templates, I would love to know. Mason (talk) 13:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Judith of Flanders has been nominated for deletion[edit]

Category:Judith of Flanders has been nominated for deletion. A discussion is taking place to decide whether it complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

Universities and colleges[edit]

The Institute of Philosophy, KU Leuven is the equivalent of a school or a faculty within a university (a similar thing might be the Munk School at the University of Toronto). Are there other instances of *parts of* universities being categorised as universities? If the category "Universities and colleges" is also intended to include parts of universities and colleges, should it not be renamed to clarify that? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 19:58, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's a fair question. So yes, there are other examples of suborganizations, and the intent is to include parts of universities. Here are some examples from category:Universities and colleges established in 1889: Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, Oregon State University College of Engineering, Osgoode Hall Law School, University of Wisconsin–Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. In the US, schools/faculty are often described as Colleges. The category name was broadened from just "Universities" to make the intention clearer that it was to include subdivisions. Do you have suggestions for a clearer name? Mason (talk) 20:09, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Something like "Tertiary educational institutions" or "Institutions of higher education" would be broad enough to cover universities and their constituent parts. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 21:11, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Writers by nationality and century category header[edit]

Hi, I created Category:Medieval Russian writers and this is shown as a parent cat in Category:15th-century Russian writers which is using Template:Writers by nationality and century category header but I do not see this showing. Do you know what the issue could be here? Thanks. Mellk (talk) 14:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So the category will be populated eventually, but not immediately. The trick to make a dummy edit. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:15th-century_Russian_writers&oldid=1214081477 Mason (talk) 15:39, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thank you! Mellk (talk) 15:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:16th-century Catalan people[edit]

Hi Mason, I've been too busy to keep up with CFD discussions recently.

I'm grateful for your work here, but I would have opposed Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 March 6#Category:16th-century Catalan people. Removing this has left a bigger gap in Category:Catalan people by century. Before or instead of deleting poorly-populated categories, I suggest checking whether they can be populated.

In this case Petscan demonstrates that there are 22 articles eligible to be put in the category. Some of them might be debatable if "Count of Barcelona" was an honorary title unrelated to origin or residence, but it looks as if there would be sufficient to reinstate the category. – Fayenatic London 08:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! that's really helpful information. I'll definitely try additional approaches to populate categories. Mason (talk) 19:05, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers! – Fayenatic London 20:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nobility of, not from[edit]

I've just noticed a few "Nobility of" renamed speedily to "Nobility from" – I hope you will not object if I summarily reverse these. We use "of" for nobility, military personnel and political positions, because they are people holding official capacities of the state. – Fayenatic London 20:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also long as you leave redirects, that fine. Otherwise, I think it breaks the nobility by nationality and century template Mason (talk) 22:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea! I have added this at Wikipedia:Category redirects that should be kept. – Fayenatic London 11:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indenting[edit]

Hi, I removed your indent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 April 12#Category:Politicians of the Second Polish Republic for clarity – hope you don't mind.

You often seem to indent with *: rather than just * , and this has the appearance of demoting your !vote. I suggest you use just an asterisk at the start of your opinion at CFD, unless you are replying to another editor's statements. Is the colon an artifact of a tool that you use for commenting? – Fayenatic London 22:05, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree that it does have that tendency to downweight my vote. I think it is an artifact of using the beta feature of "Discussion tools". I haven't been very motivated to see if I can pinpoint the problem, but you've just given me a good reason to investigate. :) Mason (talk) 22:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Indigenous[edit]

I saw your question was never answered and I don't know if you found the answer to this. The capitalization of Indigenous and other terms should be applied when talking about people. By calling a organization an Indigenous organization you would be stating it is made of Indigenous people and therefore should be capitalized. --ARoseWolf 13:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Academic journals published in the Netherlands[edit]

A tag has been placed on Category:Academic journals published in the Netherlands indicating that it is currently empty, 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 it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 22:21, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Elmer H. Almquist (April 19)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
no sources?
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

All Saints' Church[edit]

Can you please tell when I had been told about "changing ... to Kowloon", and elaborate what is wrong to mention Kowloon (given that the territory comprises four components – Kowloon being one of them?) Thanks. 58.152.55.172 (talk) 08:44, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
