Help with Commons categories[edit]

Wikimedia commons has categories for Commons:Category:Sovrano Ordine di San Giovanni di Gerusalemme, Commons:Category:Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Commons:Category:Sovereign Military Order of Malta and Commons:Category:Knights Hospitaller, and there seems to be some real overlap between these. I thought I'd ask here for advice on which are really useful for categorizing images and other media, and which might be merged. Just to emphasize, I'm not proposing merging the wikipedia articles, which are obviously distinct, just the categorization of images. Thanks. - Themightyquill (talk) 15:47, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The first homosexual state of the middle ages?[edit]

I heard that Malta was one of the first fully homosexual states in the Christian West. I studied in a Polish seminary, and this is not a secret to us. During the reign of the Knights, homosexuality was in no way punished and even encouraged. Thousands of men cohabited with each other, held together by same-sex love, so they defended Malta with such courage during the Turkish attack. They were ashamed to retreat, looking at their homosexual partners. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.155.5.245 (talk) 11:55, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

'you heard' is not a valid source for Wikipedia - if you have a scholarly account, list it - otherwise this looks like vandalism, AGF excepted ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.169.24.168 (talk) 08:47, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
