Event venues establishment categories changes

Why would you remove the custom-made category template {{subst:Eventestcat}} from these categories instead of updating it to supply the categories you wish to have or even discuss this with the template creator, me? __meco (talk) 07:38, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Categories should not be added in templates. So it is better to add these manually. Also there is no need to have every type of category using a custom template. While I have set up a bunch of trees in related areas, I'm finding that there are always slight differences. I've also seen that not matter what templates are in place, editors still refuse to use them instead adding no categories or templates or only adding the categories that they want. Finally the template as written has too many year related parameters. All you need is one, and someone can probably figure out how to eliminate that one! Vegaswikian (talk) 17:32, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

I do much work on these years category hierarchies, and it is widespread practice to have the templates add categories. Furthermore, your observation about editors having problems using them, is rather contrary to my experience in doing this type of work. In my experience, users generally find it easy to assimilate the established practice by gleaning already formatted category pages for adjacent years. There will always be some minor hierarchies that look a bit ruffled and need someone to go over them. That said, in general there exist sufficient well-organized sets that asserting the problems which you do and prescribing your solution seems unjustified. __meco (talk) 20:20, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Well from the ones I did, I'd say 5%-10% did not use the templates. So that is a rather significant number. Also, these categories now match the contents for a major parent and most of the children categories. May of which need creating. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:08, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Vegaswikian -- You've edited dates out of categories for a lot of NRHP historic district articles. But there is not some thing now where architecture categories for them are systematically removed? Could you possibly please comment at User talk:Nyttend#architecture categories? I am hoping it is not just me who would like to see useful architectural categories remain. --doncram 03:52, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages

Dear Author/Vegaswikian

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on implantable cardioverter-defibrillator . I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 13:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Renaming Proposal

Hello, Vegaswikian, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you worked on, The Glebe (Arlington, Virginia), for renaming because I don't think the current name describes the subject well. Please come join the discussion here.

Thanks again for contributing! Argos'Dad 19:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
