Hi Oculi,

I noted you and others removed "Photography companies" from my Vincent Dunker submission because he was a photographer, not a company. Actually, he owned and operated a company that manufactured cameras and that is what he is known for, not being a photographer, although he was a good one. His company was VE-JA-DE Products, the name being derived from his initials, V.J.D. VE-JA-DE Products has been added to the list of companies on the wikipedia "Photography companies" page which why I had listed that category. I have tried to add the wikipedia category "List of photographic makers" to my submission, but it did not take properly and is in red. Perhaps you could do that for me and also add his name or company name, whatever is appropriate, to the lower sub-section of the above page "Former producers of cameras and/or photographic lenses and filters."

Thanks,

• Dunker was not himself a company, and neither was he a list, so the additions you are trying to make are incorrect. He was the owner/founder of a photographic company but we don't have categories for these; at least I can't find any. I have added "VE-JA-DE Products, owned and founded by Vincent Joseph Dunker" to List of photographic equipment makers (this is a list, in the Wikipedia sense, and is edited just like an article). (You are not adding categories correctly anyway: you should omit the ":" after the "[[".) Oculi (talk) 11:46, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Feel free to express your opinion there. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:47, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Category:Compositions by Czech composers

Hey there! I'm still not all the way back to my former level of editing -- especially when it comes to participating in CFD discussions -- but I did just leave a rather extensive comment in support of keeping the nominated category. I hope you'll reconsider your !vote in light of my remarks. Best regards, Cgingold (talk) 01:21, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

• Yes, I see you have made an eloquent defence. Is the nationality of the composer a defining characteristic of the composition? I would say not, myself. (The same does go for 'works' ... if only people would refrain from this incessant creation of dubious structures.) I am of course delighted that you are back - I had noticed the occasional edit here and there. user:Otto4711 has been back under an astonishing number of disguises but heads immediately for LGBT vegetarian issues and is promptly unmasked.

Crime victims by nationality

Please note that the subcategories of Category:Crime victims by nationality are up for renaming again. Given that you participated in the previous discussion, you may be interested in participating in this on, too. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:07, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Italian castles

Thanks so much for help with referencing List of castles in Italy! I'd been working on that list too, but as Italian is not one of my languages, it's been slow going. Keep up the great work! --Elonka 18:10, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Template:Cite 1904 Gettysburg Battlefield map

I know that you are following up on TfTs contributions. I noticed {{Cite 1904 Gettysburg Battlefield map}} along the way and could not figure out how this is used and if it is really needed. How many references will be based on the map? Any opinions? Vegaswikian (talk) 00:09, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

No idea. I looked at it a couple of days ago and also at Springs Hotel and Horse Railroad to which it supposedly transcludes but couldn't see what effect it has. Springs Hotel and Horse Railroad is also baffling ... is it a hotel or a railroad? Oculi (talk) 00:23, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
