Infrastructure

There seems to be a bit of reorganisation needed for the Category:Infrastructure tree, if "Physical infrastructure" is not what it says. Non-physical things like computing infrastructure are currently included in Category:Infrastructure, for example. To be honest I'm clueless as to when "Buildings and structures" become "Infrastructure" and, generally, the two descriptions seem to be used interchangeably. Sionk (talk) 17:53, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association

Hi, I would appreciate if you could have another look at the CfD here. The dsicussion specifically addressed the question of putting a complete list of members in this article and the main comment was that it would be unlikely that anybody would want to put such a complete list in this article... I think that a partial list, as already present in the article (founding members, note that they are now listed twice), is enough. Having a complete list really goes against WP:NOTADIRECTORY and against the discussion during the CfD. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 21:27, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I read that discussion several times. What was clear is that the contents of the category should be listed somewhere. As I read the discussion there was specific support for including 56 articles, which is what I did. I don't believe that anyone was endorsing having every member in the list. and I don't know how many there are. As to founding members and current members, they are two different lists. Founding members don't always stay as members and can cease to exist so they can not be a current member but will always be a member. At this point what should or should not be in the article really should be discussed on the talk page. Let the people active there reach a consensus on what is needed. If they decide to trim the list, that is there call. I'll also note that at CfD, if information is going to be lost that could assist navigation, then creating a list is quite common. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:38, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

• This is basically a complete list. Reading the CfD, there was really no consensus on listing all members of the category in the article: 1/ nom: delete cat, don't listify; 2/ Peterkingiron: delete cat, no opinion on listification given; 3/ article creator: agrees with deleting cat, in favor of listification; 4 and 5/ Postdlf and SFB: listify. Postdlf specifically argues that a complete list is not needed. There's an objective reason to list those members that were founders of the organization. The previous members of the category that were moved to the article are really an idiosyncratic selection (those that happen to have a WP article at this point in time, no other selection criterion I can see). --Randykitty (talk) 21:51, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Is there an issue with discussing this on the talk page? As I said, let those with more knowledge decide on how much should be there. The CfD discussion provided no indication of how many member there are so a closer can not make that determination. I still believe that preserving the contents of the category was appropriate with that discussion. A later consensus on the article talk page would be the best place to determine if those discussing the category made a good choice. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:32, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I think I have at least to move the closing part of the table and the closing center tag to all pages. The current syntax with some tags stating in the page ans finishing inside a transcluded template is really confusing. -- Magioladitis (talk) 08:46, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

category deletion

Your name is mentioned at the head of a decision to remove the category "drug user". If you are the wrong person to "hold to task" about this, please direct me to the right one. I know zilch about the politics of this place. I must add that I had hoped that there was no politics involved in the dissemination of information in this place. I say "hold to task" because there is a page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_user with a section on notable drug users, which includes people I had put into that category - subsequently deleted. It seems to me totally ad hoc to disallow the category I created, and yet allow the page I am just referring you to now. Do not for a minute think that I am suggesting that page be removed. Rather, I would hope that you would hold people who insist on deletion of material to a rational standard of argument, so that Wikipedia does not become a hotch-potch of personal likes at the cost of personal dislikes.

Lakshmi Narasimha and Sadashiva Temples, Nuggehalli

I am disappointed to see the callous attitude with which is cut and paste a paragraph from this article to create another article without so much as leave a note for discussion on the talk page prior to your edit. First of all please try to understand that:

• Occasionally, it makes more sense to have two or more closely associated buildings (due to reasons such as location, architectural style, dynasty) put into one article to provide a more wholesome article to the reader.
• In ancient countries like India, often temples were added upon by succeeding dynasties or succeeding rulers of the same dynasty and for historical reasons, they have to be put together in one article in the form of a temple complex. Such temple complexes are common in India.
• Even if an article is split into multiple articles, you should provide a complete article, not just split it, cut and paste something into a new article and move on. You did not bother to copy paste the reference sources into the new article, and did not even try to provide the 'lead' info regarding that Sadashiva temple. Also the name of the original article contained the names of both temples even after you split it into two.

I hope you will refrain from such edits in the future.Tamilyomen (talk) 20:09, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Old Bridge, Hasankeyf

I see that you have recently added the Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1172 to the article Old Bridge, Hasankeyf. I certainly understand the desire to assign a definite completion date for this structure. However, the date really is pretty uncertain, and saying that the bridge was "completed in 1172" is misleading. All we know is that is was built during the reign of the Artukid ruler Fakhr ad-Din Qara Arslan, and probably after the Malabadi Bridge. Various dates are given for Qara Arslan's accession and death as you can see at Old Bridge, Hasankeyf#Date. I have spent several months trawling through obscure articles to try to nail this down more precisely, and at this point I'm pretty sure we won't be able to get more precision any time soon. Therefore, I would rather that the bridge is listed in Category:Buildings and structures completed in the 12th century. If you feel there's a reason to justify a more specific date, please let me know. Otherwise, I will move this back to the more general category. Thanks, Rupert Clayton (talk) 17:17, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

About your (non)participation in the January 2012 SOPA vote

Hi Vegaswikian. I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Wikipedia. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Wikipedia's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian (44th to be exact!), and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Wikipedia researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me. Thank you! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 16:54, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

American TV stations by channel number

A little while back, you closed a similar discussion to the above for Canadian TV stations. There's a bit of a CfD backlog at the moment, so I thought I'd reach out and ask if you'd be willing to have a look and see if there's a logical conclusion for this discussion too. I've been somewhat anticipating a similar result, so I've been doing some prep work to effect the clean up, just in case. Mlaffs (talk) 01:08, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm a little nervous about getting my hands dirty on the Mexican ones, as I don't know the sourcing like I do in Canada/the U.S. However, I have 90-95% of the U.S. lists sitting ready in my user space, and could start moving them across and depopulating the categories within a couple of hours from now. The list-making has actually been a good exercise, because the category sets had some incorrect entries and were missing some valid entries. Mlaffs (talk) 20:46, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Navigation box to nowhere

Hi, Vegaswikian. You've twice reverted my edits removing redlinks from the navbox Template:Pinnacle Entertainment. While I'm sure these are casinos owned by the Pinnacle folks, they aren't notable enough for an article and sending readers to an empty article kinda defeats the purpose of a navigation template. Once those articles are written, then they can be added and someone visiting one of the any of the Pinnacle articles would then see other Pinnacle properties they can read about in that navbox. Please stop adding redlinks back here. If these properties are notable, I'm sure an article will be along shortly and the link to those new articles can be added here (as well as this template to that article). Thanks, Stesmo (talk) 05:55, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation)

The article Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Delete per WP:2DAB because it is a disambiguation page that consists of only one primary topic and one second item. It has an extensive "See also" section but again, that is entirely addressed by the primary topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Codename Lisa (talk) 21:28, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey, old timer. Look, this edit wasn't good because it changes something that is being actively discussed in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirates of the Caribbean (disambiguation). Doing it confuses participants. (I know; it is a judgment call.) The dab page have been like that since October 2011. What's another seven days? And, I know, the other editor didn't exactly see things rationally and I did point it out in the AfD. Fleet Command (talk) 02:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Would you mind holding off on taking action on the rename? I plan to take advantage of your "this does not preclude" statement, nominating it for moving to "railroad crossings" immediately.

Query

Hi. The discussion you closed here had only one person participate after the nomination -- and that person gave zero rationale, which should result in the corresponding failure to give the !vote weight.

Plus, as can be seen in the discussion here, the nom's assertions (for example "The Maccabiah Games is not a large scale enough games" and "This is the case of a structure for a minor competition getting far ahead of itself" do not hold up upon investigation.

In addition, as User:MacRusgail indicated here, he would have liked to have known of this discussion, as would I -- this is the problem when cat changes are not listed on the wikiproject notice pages. He and I, who both have worked on articles relating to competitors in this competition, would like to participate in the discussion.

How would you suggest this be addressed, so proper discussion on proper facts can be had, and !votes based on rationales determine whether to accept the nomination or not? Thanks. --Epeefleche (talk) 03:30, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Closing on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 January 26#Category:Orchids of Austria

First, thanks for stepping in and cleaning up the CfD backlog. I will disagree with your assessment of the discussion. Of course I !voted in that CfD, so I'm a bit biased, but I think the best assessment would have been no consensus. The objections are not based on how experts alone categorize plants. These categories are also used in lay publications -- books and articles meant for public consumption discuss and describe plants by their countries or other political boundaries. This system works well for Wikipedia, too. You also cited precedent -- sure, fauna categories have been consolidated for the European fauna categories, but this was the first flora one. The two are fundamentally different, because we have the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions and a long history of its use in Wikipedia (the Australian categories have been in use since 2006). I'd appreciate it if you could re-think the decision or at least take another look. Thanks, Rkitko ^(talk) 21:50, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I have no doubt you considered the discussion carefully, I just disagree with the outcome, especially when about even numbers of editors were on opposite sides (NB: I realize !vote counts don't mean much in XfD discussions). You should know that previous discussions going back to 2007 treated flora and fauna differently. Discussions on fauna resulted in upmerging while flora categories were left as they were. The rationale, if I recall correctly, was that there were more plants with restricted or narrow distributions. I didn't entirely agree, but the fact is that they're treated differently and have been for some time.

I acknowledge that lists articles do serve a good purpose, but they're different from flora categories. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I can browse the List of flora of Ohio, but I use Category:Flora of Ohio for navigation among the articles we have on Ohio flora. Such a category hierarchy does serve the readers, contrary to your assertion. And since you brought it up, I fail to see how this argument doesn't also extend to landforms by country or country subdivision, such as List of rivers of Ohio and Category:Rivers of Ohio.

You said, "Basically if it is alive we categorize by continent..." -- No, that's not how it has been done until very recently when a small group of editors, maybe four or so, started bring fauna categories to CfD around a year and a half ago. And that's only for Europe. The vast majority of living organisms are categorized by country, not continent. Further, the arguments these editors make against country categories (e.g. their interpretation of WP:DEFINING -- criteria invented after the implementation of flora categories) can also apply to many global taxa, or those found on more than one continent. As I've said before, it's a matter of scale and usefulness; a continent category is useless and will be too large. This is why we diffuse to countries.

I can appreciate your judgement, but I feel quite strongly about this. I haven't been editing much anyway, so perhaps if this decision is then used as precedent for other flora category merges, I'll just drift away. It's been ten years, a good long run. Perhaps it's just time to move on anyway... Cheers, Rkitko ^(talk) 22:44, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
