== County Dublin ==

Your thesis that County Dublin is a "former" county is a misrepresentation of the facts. The page is about County Dublin in general, not specifically about the administrative unit that existed prior to 1994. I refer you to the page on County Cork, which is also about the county in general, and not specifically the County Council administrative unit. The county council administrative unit is given a sub heading within the article. Furthermore the County Cork page references Cork City, which as you may know is not part of the administrative county at all. There is, therefore, a discrepancy between how these two pages are being treated. I suggest you find some more nuanced language than "County Dublin is a former county". Perhaps "... is a former administrative county" would suffice in this case.  For further clarity I refer you to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring]

== St Jude's ==
Hi, regarding St Judes; I searched [http://eppi.dippam.ac.uk/ EPPI] and Google books; it looks like St Jude's was created out of St James' some time between [http://eppi.dippam.ac.uk/documents/14367/eppi_pages/370666 1861] and  [http://books.google.fr/books?id=pi8NAAAAYAAJ&dq=jude's%20kilmainham%20parish%20new&pg=PA191#v=onepage&q=jude's%20kilmainham%20parish%20new&f=false 1867]. The OSI mapviewer's 25-inch maps are mostly from later than the 6-inch maps (1880-1910) and the 25-inch gives "St Jude's" (though I had to zoom in to the maximum to bring it up, which means you can't see all the letters at once).

:Nice work. Thanks for your labours. So must all 6 townlands of St Jude's be attributed to Castleknock or only some of them? [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 23:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

== Final warning of indefinite block ==

{{stop}} '''PLEASE STOP'''. <br />
Yesterday I posted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Kim_Dent-Brown&diff=prev&oldid=535783562 this warning] at AN/I that I would block anyone making further edits to change, rename or otherwise affect categorisation of GAA-related articles. You made several further edits after that time and were it not for the fact that you have not edited for some hours, I would now be blocking you. However please understand that if you make any further edits of this sort, I will block you indefinitely even if you are not actively editing (ie even if I only become aware of your edits some hours later). Note that indefinite does not mean permanent, and I or any other admin would happily unblock on an assurance from you that you will not make any further edits of that sort until a consensus is reached.

:You will note the time of my peace offer above ("If Brocach and Finnegas will agree to self-impossed ban on all GAA related articles for a period of 2 months, then I will too."). I posted that immediately after reading the ANI thread. You will also note that all the GAA edits that I made were prior to the offer and prior to reading the ANI notice. So there was no intentional breech of the warning. You should also note that the peace offer was thrown back in my face.

:::All I was saying was that at the time of the edits I was not aware of the warning. It did not appear on my talk page at the time of the edits.

::::Thanks, that's the reason I didn't block you - my warning was a general one made at AN/I and I accept that you hadn't seen it.

== TD categories ==

Hi, its a good idea to refine the TD categories by party and you have been doing. I have taken the liberty of using TDs in the name, e.g. [[:Category:Progressive Democrats TDs]] instead of Teachtaí Dála. I think this is more succinct, easier to spell, easier to pronounce and follows the current convention for MPs, e.g. parent is ''Category:Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom by political party'' and all the sub cats have ''MPs'' in the title, e.g. ''Category:Conservative Party (UK) MPs''.

== Template:S-par/ie/oi ==

Hi Laurel Lodged

At [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_March_3#Template:S-par.2Fie.2Foi|TfD March 3]], you nominated {{tl|S-par/ie/oi}} for deletion.

I reckoned that if the succession boxes were used as designed, then the real problems which you identified would be avoided. So I tested it on a series of biogs of TDs, and posted an explanation at the TfD discussion, complete with links to the examples I created. 

This seems so far to have persuaded most other participants in the discussion, but it would be helpful to have some input from the nominator. If you have a few minutes, would you be kind enough to respond at TfD with your thoughts?

== Church of Ireland, Wales categories == 
The category [[:Category:19th-century Church of Ireland church buildings]] already existed (from 2011) when I created the 18th-century category to match it. Although the parent categories [[:Category:19th-century Anglican churches]] etc. had been changed from “church buildings” to “churches” the subcategories for Ireland and Wales had not been changed. Hence I also created 20th century and 18th-century categories to match [[:Category:19th-century Church in Wales church buildings]] (created 2015). They could be nominated for speedy renaming if you think so. [[User:Hugo999|Hugo999]] ([[User talk:Hugo999|talk]]) 01:41, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

== Butler dates ==

Hey there. I am trying to increase the consistency of the display of birth and death dates in biographical articles. My edits are simple housekeeping edits that do not involve adding new information to the article. The birth and death dates are already present in the article in some way. I've gone through hundreds of articles recently, and it is always possible I made a error. Could you link the article(s) in question?

== [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] ==
Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]]. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in with whatever area of the British Isles or subject that they work on. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality.

== Court titles ==

Hello. I noticed you moved a number of articles which had the words "High Court" in them to separate pages with "High Court (X)", with X being the country in which the court sits. You did this with the [[High Court of Australia]] and the [[High Court of New Zealand]]. This should not have been done, because the actual name of those courts was as original named in the articles. See, e.g. the [[Talk:High_Court_of_New_Zealand#Court%20title|talk page]] for the High Court of New Zealand, where I have explained why that was inappropriate for that Court. There are also comments on the High Court of Australia [[Talk:High Court of Australia|talk page]]. I have not checked other courts, but I suspect the same error may have been replicated with them as well. Please be careful in future with other institutions - and I suggest foreshadowing it on the relevant talk page first. Thanks. -[[User:Sagaciouseight|Sagaciouseight]] ([[User talk:Sagaciouseight|talk]]) 06:26, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
:I agree with Sagaciouseight that the New Zealand High Court article move should have been discussed on the talk page first. I suggested to them that a [[WP:RM|requested move]] discussion be held to decide whether the page should be moved back. However, if you accept Sagaciouseight's evidence on the talk page, let me know and I'll move it back myself without further bureaucracy.-<span style="font-family:cursive; color:grey;">[[User talk:gadfium|gadfium]]</span> 19:10, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
::I think that there needs to be a wider discussion about individual countries appropriating what is, essentially, a very generic name. But for the moment, I'm content for this to be rolled back. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 12:39, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
:::Thank you. In my opinion, I don't think it is "appropriating" a generic term when a name happens to contain that term within a longer and specific title. Taken to its logical conclusion that would seem to lead to absurd and impractical results. For example, does that mean every "Government of X country" is appropriating the term "Government"? Additionally, I don't really see practically how there could be any confusion about it. For example, I don't see how someone visiting a page titled "High Court of New Zealand" could confuse it with a "High Court" of another country.

:::: Hi Laurel, I was the one who moved the [[High Court of Australia]] article back. Like {{u|Sagaciouseight}} I don't really understand your argument, which you have stated in a number of places, about countries "appropriating a generic term;" that in fact is the opposite of what is the case with Australia and NZ - countries that give their court a title which includes their own (non-generic) country name. But more to the point, wikipedia isn't the place for a "wider discussion" about what countries should or shouldn't do! Wikipedia articles should be based on the what actual names are as reported in the sources, whether that's what we editors think they should be or not. I'm still concerned that you moved a number of other articles without discussion (e.g. High Courts of Bhutan, Singapore) and if your reasoning is the same, they should be moved back.

While it may not continue to exist as a county council, it still exists as a traditional county, and Castleknock is in the traditional county of Dublin. [[Fingal]] is not a county and it is merely a county council and I don't see  a good reason to revert my edits  [[User:TMN81|TMN81]] ([[User talk:TMN81|talk]]) 18:55, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

==Moldova and Moldavia==
Hi. I happened to notice your comment [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 22|here]], and I felt I needed to clarify something, in the hope of spreading awareness. I don't object to either your vote or the vote result in general, and I do agree that such categories are redundant. I do however notice that your particular comment is based on a commonplace confusion between [[Moldova]] and [[Moldavia]] -- it's understandable, they have the same name in Romanian, and Moldova is also called Moldavia in various sources; in fact, Moldova takes its name from Moldavia -- sort of like the "Macedonia" issue, only Romanians don't really object to the name being taken. As clarified by the [[Moldova (disambiguation)|disambiguation page]] or [[:File:Partitions of Moldavia.jpg|this map]], Moldova is a mere part of the old Moldavia. Moldavia was a principality, a distinct polity up to ca. 1860, when it merged with Wallachia to become Romania. By that point, it had been stripped of a region called [[Bessarabia]], which was included in the Russian Empire. Present-day Moldova is the part of Bessarabia that was created by the Soviets as a distinct republic -- that is to say, it is smaller than a subregion of old Moldavia, and not in fact its legal successor. So when you argue that it is an anachronism to speak of "Moldavian" in the 19th century or whatnot, you have it backwards: there was in fact a Moldavian state at the time (not really an independent polity, as indeed it was mostly subject to other states throughout its existence; but it had a flag, a government, an army, a fleet, and even [[Regulamentul Organic|a constitution]], including forms of representation); there was, however, no Moldovan state (as whatever is now Moldova was either the backwoods of Moldavia or, from 1812, an unnamed part of Russian Bessarabia). If you and others keep entertaining that confusion, as many do, we risk messing up category trees and losing precious information.

== [[Roman Britain]] ==

I notice you moved this article to [[United Kingdom in the Roman era]]. I have moved it back, as "Roman Britain" is the usual name of the period, and the common name therefore.

I'm trying to execute a proper move from [[Hadrut Region]] to Hadrut Province but the latter article has to be deleted first as does the redirect in order to move Hadrut Region and it's TP to Hadrut Province.

==Emptying categories out of process==
Please use the CFD process. I noticed that you have emptied [[:Category:1892 establishments in Austria]] and presumably others today, without discussion. As you are an experienced editor you are fully aware that emptying categories out-of-process is not a light matter, and could result in sanctions being taken against you. 

You made a few nominations of multiple categories earlier this year, [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_April_22#Establishments_in_Austria_in_prior_to_1919|the last of which]] (including the category linked above, which you have just emptied) failed to achieve consensus, and this lack of consensus was explicitly because you had chosen not to comply with previous advice to make a comprehensive nomination for what remained. 

If you want help with tagging a large number of categories, Marcocapelle may be willing, or you could make a request at [[WP:AWB/Tasks]]. 

Please desist from emptying categories without discussion. As for the ones that you have emptied, either repopulate them for discussion, or at least have the diligence to redirect them like the ones that were merged following consensus at earlier CFDs. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 21:28, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

==Empty Categories ==
Hello, [[User:Laurel_Lodged|Laurel Lodged]],

I saw your objection that empty category [[:Category:Events in Congress Poland]] shouldn't be deleted. But as you know, in [[WP:C1]], policy states that empty categories that are not in use or used as redirects, aren't tracking categories and aren't part of a deletion discussion are deleted unless they are occasionally empty and marked with the <nowiki>{{emptycat}}</nowiki> tag. None of these criteria applied to [[:Category:Events in Congress Poland]] and apparently no editors could find an article to be part of this category. There are no prohibitions against its recreation if there comes a use for this category. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 01:59, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

== Thomas Butler of Garryricken ==
Dear Laurel Lodged. Thank you very much for your recent corrections on the article "Thomas Butler of Garryricken". I am a newby in Wikipedia and on an endless learning curve about how to write in Wikipedia. My knowledge of the MOS is still very fragmentary. My problem is aggravated by the fact that my English is second or even third language after German and French. So thanks for your corrections. When I list siblings and children in biographical articles and write list entries like "John (1650-1701), who would become president", I mean to use a "future in the past" tense, not a conditional. As biographies of dead people are written in past tense, I thought I should use future-in-the-past for events more recent than the time that I am looking at. So when I talk about the person's birth and his siblings and I talk about the later life of these siblings, I use future-in-the-past; and similarly when I talk about the children. Perhaps you feel that this is not how an English person would do it? — Another problem is the name of the article. The person who is the subject of the article "Thomas Butler of Garryricken" is called "Thomas Butler of Kilcash" in all the references that I know of, but perhaps I have not found those who do. I do not know how to rename an article and I am not the right person for such a drastic change, which if really needed should certainly be done by a more experience Wikipedian such as you. — The last problem I have is how to call the person who is the subject of the article. You replaced "He" by "Butler". To use the family name is probably the general rule. However, in this case about all the persons named in the article are members of the Butler family. Could one use the first name, which is more distinctive in such a case? With many thanks for your help. Johannes Schade.
: Dear Laurel Lodged. Sorry I forgot to sign my post. I have been thinking about my use of the future-in-the-past that you criticised. I now think you are right and that future-in-the-past feels stilted and cumbersome in the lists of siblings and children of biographical articles. I will go through the concerned articles and correct them. Thank you very much for your intervention.

::Borras->Borris: brilliant edit! I could not possibly have done this as I lack your Irish background! Thank you very much! Besides, do you understand how our John Butler de-jure 15th comes to marry an English girl?

== John Butler, 15th Earl of Ormonde ==
Dear Laurel Lodged. I think your latest bout of corrections has substantially improved the article "John Butler, 15th Earl of Ormond". Your English flows much better than mine. I am still busy going through your corrections to learn the lessons you teach me. My main issue at the moment is that I do not understand your edit to the end of the lead, which now reads "it was discovered that the titles had merely been dormant and they were restored to his son". The pronoun "he" seems well to refer to the 15th Earl. However, I thought he died childless. Could this be an error? Besides I find that the "discovery" of the titles being dormant is quite astonishing and may have been the reward given to the 17th Earl for his conversion to the Church of Ireland, but this is just a guess of mine.

::Dear Laurel Lodged. Thanks for fixing and for the many improvements you made to the article since that time. Your changes are usually for the better but there is one I wonder about: why do we need to repeat the family name (i.e. Butler) in the list of the 15th Earl's siblings? I will not revert your edit without your agreement, but there are similar lists of siblings and children in about 50 biographical articles that I should change to include the family name for consistency with this one. I am hesitant to do that work without understanding the reasons. With many thanks, [[User:Johannes Schade|Johannes Schade]] ([[User talk:Johannes Schade|talk]]) 07:46, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

== Walter Butler, 16th Earl of Ormonde ==

Dear Laurel Lodged. I just saw (a bit late) your correction from the 22 September on the article [[Walter Butler, 16th Earl of Ormonde]] where you changed the descriptions of the events in the Timeline (formerly "By date") table to past tense. I thought about this and realised that you are right and I should change. I will therefore go through the Timeline tables of all the articles concerned (about 40) and change them to past tense. I am a bit less convinced about Born -> Birth, especially since you changed Dies -> Died and not -> Death, but there might be a good reason that I do not see. My English teachers always told me that the verb forms should be preferred over the nouns, but perhaps not in that context. This is important because it appears very often. With thanks. [[User:Johannes Schade|Johannes Schade]] ([[User talk:Johannes Schade|talk]]) 10:41, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
:Thanks {{Ping|Johannes Schade}}. I think that you are more correct using "born". Good work on the other Butler articles. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 09:21, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

== MOSDAB ==

Hi! RFe [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hira&diff=925480246&oldid=925383681 this revert]: in my edit summary I was referring to [[MOS:DABREDIR]]. If you click on that link you'll find yourself in a section of the manual of style for ''dab pages'', which explains the use of redirects in entries.

Your approach would be preferable if the Cave of Hira was a non-notable entity that would only ever be treated within another article. However, it is a an article-level topic: it's notable in its own right, it used to be a separate article for most of its existence and it could become one again at some point, and even at the moment it's treated in a self-contained section of the article it was merged into. – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 10:57, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
::Your approach would be preferable if the Cave of Hira was a separate article. Since it is not, my approach is preferable.

[[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 11:05, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
:::I encourage you to read [[MOS:DABREDIR]], especially the fourth bullet point. Thanks. – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 11:09, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
::::{{Ping|Uanfala}} I think that sub-section 3.5.2 of the MOS is the relevant section for this issue: "For foreign-language terms, be sure an article exists or could be written for the word or phrase in question. Usually this means that the term has been at least partially adopted into English or is used by specialists.". Since the current name fails that test, then a re-direct is inappropriate. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 11:15, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
:::::This is not a foreign-language term in the sense of the section you're citing. The relevant part of the MOS, which I've been trying to get you to look at for some time now, is "A redirect should be used to link to a specific section of an article if the title of that section is more or less synonymous with the disambiguated topic". – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 11:19, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
::::::{{Ping|Uanfala}} How is it not a not a foreign-language term? Since you won't find that mountain in any English dictionary, sub-section 3.5.2 applies in this case. This dicussion should probably move to the relevant talk page. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 12:15, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
:::::::That subsection is for foreign-language terms that you would normally find in a bilingual dictionary, say, the Arabic words for "rice", or "cave". The Cave of Hira on the other hand is a geographic location. The entry on the dab page [[Hira]] is not for the Arabic word "hira" (in which case it shouldn't have been there in the first place). – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 12:20, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

But removing the category about the RC diocese of Killaloe from the article [[Kinnitty]] "because the parish is not mentioned in the article about the RC diocese" is clearly based on poor reading from your side.

== John Butler, 17 th Earl of Ormonde ==

Dear Laurel Lodged. I looked at the article [[John Butler, 17th Earl of Ormonde]] and noticed that curious addition to the last on the list: "Elizabeth Butler (died 1822), married 1799, Thomas Kavanagh (1767–1837), '''The MacMorrough'''." It seems The MacMorrough is a kind of clan leader, and an Irish hereditary title, which I do not really understand. It has been added quite early in the history of the article on 6 May 2009 by a user called Hohenloh, unluckily without any citation. You put it then into bold on 25 November 2011, so I guess you understand why the The MacMorrough should be mentioned and why it should appear in bold in an article about an Earl of Ormond. There is also a The MacMorrough mentioned in the list of siblings. That one has a Wikilink on it which points to an article called [[Caomhánach]]. That latter article seems to be written more in Irish than in English and seems to say very little about The MacMorrow. Perhaps you have an idea where to look for references and for how to make this understandable for non-Irish readers of the en-Wikipedia like me. — Besides, I just realised that you are an old man living in a Laurel Lodge home. I am also an old man but still at home with my wife. You might live quite near to me. I am in Bangor, County Down. It seems there are Laurel Lodge homes in Larne, Longford, Dublin and other places.

== [[:Category:Archbishops of Dublin]] ==

Of course the archbishops relate to a larger area, but they are actually based in, and I think, live in, the city, dont they?   To say someone is "from" somewhere can and often does mean that they do what made them notable there.  [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 09:46, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
:I don't agree {{Ping|Rathfelder}} If the category was called "Clergy '''in''' Dublin (city)", then your argument would work. Not only have many archbishops not been ''from'' (i.e. born in, or lived a substantial part of their lives in) Dublin city, many have not been ''from'' the surrounding counties. Many of the Norman / English archbishops were foreigners and some of them never bothered to even reside in the city. If any individual person is genuinely ''from'' the city, then that person should of course be a member of the category; the Archbishops in general, cannot, however, be moved in bulk into the category.

== Present tense ==

Hey Laurel!  Thanks for your contributions--and your support.  I really appreciate both.  One change you made on Persecution of pagans was to change the verb ''says'' to ''said'', and I wanted to let you know, it is a literary convention to always discuss what literary works 'say' in the present tense--they are still saying it whenever we read them.  The authors may be past tense, but their writings are always referred to as speaking not as having spoken.  I didn't change it back, but the entire rest of the article follows the present tense rule except that one sentence now, so if you could change it back, that would be great. 

And Laurel!  What's with the love of the word ''that''?  I was taught not to use ''that'' if the sentence is intelligible without it--especially two of them right after each other!  But you aren't the only one I've run into who loves ''that'' everywhere--another editor here dinged me on an FA because they wanted ''that''s everywhere too! To them it created clarity, to me it was just clutter!  So much of writing style is personal--so I left all your ''that''s in place.  Someone out there will like them, I'm sure.  Someone not me. {{Smiley}} Anyway, thanx again.  [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 22:00, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

== Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond ==

Dear Laurel Lodged. Thank you for your correction in the article "[[Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond]]". As you know English is not my 1st language and I do make mistakes. Several times now you corrected me when I tried to use future-in-the-past and you commented "wrong use of the conditional tense". I was not intending to use conditional mood. I was trying to express that something happened in the past but was a considerable time ahead of the moment where the story, told in past tense, was. The Wikipedia article "[[Uses of English verb forms]]" has a paragraph dedicated to future-in-the-past. The example given there is "She knew that she would win the game". I feel this is similar to "Thomas would survive Elizabeth by 11 years", which you corrected to "Thomas survived Elizabeth by 11 years". Obviously, what you propose is right, I mean there is nothing wrong with "Thomas survived Elizabeth by 11 years", but it loses the subtle difference of stressing that Thomas's death was in the future with regard to the normal flow of the narrative. Thanks for your patience that I do not want to abuse. With many thanks, [[User:Johannes Schade|Johannes Schade]] ([[User talk:Johannes Schade|talk]]) 12:02, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
:I now have a better understanding of your purpose {{Ping|Johannes Schade}}. You're correct - future-in-the-past is quite subtle. Perhaps I've been too literal. However, in this particular case, I still think that its application would not be as correct as the more literal form. For example, had the story been "...and so just to spite Elizabeth, he went on to father 10 children by 5 different women", then there would be continuity. However, his narrative really ends with Elizabeth's death. I see no notable events beyond her death that could in any was be associated with her presence or lack of presence. Do you agree? [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 13:05, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
::Dear Laurel Lodged. Yes, I agree. You have a point. I am glad we do understand each other about future-in-the-past as being different from conditional mood. Perhaps I have a tendency to overuse future-in-the-past. With thanks and greetings, [[User:Johannes Schade|Johannes Schade]] ([[User talk:Johannes Schade|talk]]) 14:51, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I know we hardly know each other, but I am in need of help. About a month ago I nominated [[Biblical criticism]] for FA.  It is getting little enough attention that the coordinator is considering archiving it. This is its second try and I am afraid that would kill it forever. IMO, it is an important topic that deserves to be amongst WP's best.  It needs a source review - random checks to be sure sources say what the text claims, so I am asking everyone I know for help.  There are too many sources for any one person to do, so if you could even do one, it would be deeply appreciated. Post anything you do [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Biblical criticism/archive2|here]]. Please help if you can.

== St. Maelruain's Church, Tallaght ==

Hi Laurel. I've been looking at an article you wrote 10 years ago, [[St. Maelruain's Church, Tallaght]]. If you look at it in light of the 10 years of editing experience you've had since you wrote it, I'm sure you'll recognize that it needs attention.

It has been flagged as needing citations. The first citation fails to support the information in the paragraph that the citation appears in. The second citation merely confirms the existence of one of the graves at the church. The third and final citation wasn't a citation at all, but merely a note, which I have converted from a supposed citation to a note. So, really, the article in effect doesn't have any citations at all.

There was a sentence in the article which read: "A survey of the graves was carried out by SDCC...." As a Dubliner, I decided to expand the initialism to South Dublin County Council, but that was merely a guess on my part. If I'm wrong, please correct what I did. To non-Dubliners, SDCC is meaningless.

The Note: "SDCC survey, available (for reference only) in the Local Studies section of the library?" is not really an information note, rather, it is more like a scribbled question by an editor to himself rather than information that is useful to any reader.

Furthermore, the note is a particularly feeble contribution to the encyclopaedia because most readers of Wikipedia cannot visit some unnamed library in Dublin. Once you've looked at the note, you might decide to delete it entirely.

I don't want to spend any more time messing around with it but perhaps it might interest you since it's your creation, and a desire to be proud of your work might give you the motivation I don't have to continue any further with it.

== Please do not "fix" redirects ==

It completely defeats the purpose of redirects if you instead add pipelinks, contra to both [[WP:NOPIPE]] and [[WP:DONOTFIXIT]]. Please do not "fix" redirects, it is irrational. [[User:GPinkerton|GPinkerton]] ([[User talk:GPinkerton|talk]]) 16:48, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[WP:Edit warring|edit war]]&#32; according to the reverts you have made on [[:Aqueduct of Valens]]; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:Consensus#In talk pages|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[WP:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[WP:Consensus|try to reach a consensus]], rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|30px|left|alt=Stop icon]] Your recent editing history at [[:Basilicas in the Catholic Church]] shows that you are currently engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to work toward making a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See [[Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle|the bold, revert, discuss cycle]] for how this is done.

== Australian Anglican dioceses ==

Please don't just rename diocese pages without discussing them - you've changed them to something that is both more complicated than the original title, and also which is inconsistent with how the dioceses themselves refer to themselves. Neither are consistent with Wikipedia practice. Now I have to go and fix all of them, which will take up heaps of time. [[User:Deus et lex|Deus et lex]] ([[User talk:Deus et lex|talk]]) 19:40, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{Re|Deus et lex}} I did not do it without discussion. As I advised you, and other participants, on the WP:CFD, I did so on the emerging consensus on that discussion concerning the the problem with capitalisation of bishops titles, and by extension, diocesan titles. The change is not more complicated as you claim above - the disambiguator makes it much clearer what is in scope. Perhaps you meant to say "longer". Some dioceses prefer to have "Anglican" in their title, others do not and have it as a descriptor. In any case, Precision is preferable to ambiguity. They do not have to be "fixed" if the "fix" that you put in place for Bunbury is an example. There you eliminated a lot of material that can and should go in the lead. That is most unhelpful. Please revert your remaining "fixes". [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 09:23, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

== Name format for Karabakh villages ==

Hi! I saw that you moved the Armenian transliteration for a couple of Karabakh villages to the "other name" parameter in the infoboxes - was the purpose of this for aesthetic reasons or something else? I think that having the transliteration next to the Armenian script in the "native name" parameter makes it a bit more clear that it is indeed a transliteration of the name in Armenian script. [[User:AntonSamuel|AntonSamuel]] ([[User talk:AntonSamuel|talk]]) 12:04, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

::::More like the previous state of the articles you edited, such as the Armenian name for [[Xanqutala]] (Khnkavan) is presented now, with "Խնկավան • Khnkavan" in the native name parameter. A lot of the Armenian villages in Karabakh/Artsakh are still utilizing the Azerbaijani de jure names as the article titles, while some have been renamed to their common names so the state of the articles aren't uniform at this point.

::::::The name of the village is "Jamilli" in both Armenian and Azerbaijani, as well as the article name, so there is no need to include it twice, I put the Armenian name in the native name parameter as the village had an Armenian population up until the 1960s, but it has been moved since to the other name parameter.

== Religious leaders ==

Bishops are religious leaders.  It's supposed to be heirarchical. [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 10:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{Re|Rathfelder}} Agreed. Therefore....? [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 10:32, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

::So [[:Category:Religious leaders in Belize]] is a parent of the bishops.  It can be a parent of clergy and priests too, but I havent found them yet.  [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 10:38, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

But I dont think we want both Belizean religious leaders and Religious leaders in Belize.  [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 10:39, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{Re|Rathfelder}} Correct. So it should just be in Religious leaders in Belize since it is "Bishops '''in''' Belize". [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 10:42, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Fooish religious leaders is the general pattern.  [[:Category:Religious leaders by nationality]] not by country.  [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 10:50, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

There is clearly another mess here.  [[:Category:Religious leaders by continent]] is completely unconnected to  [[:Category:Religious leaders by nationality]].[[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 10:52, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{Re|Rathfelder}}Where we have something '''in''' a county, then we need not conflate it with nationality. It must go into the parent "by county" category where it exists.. It should not go into the "by nationality" category. For all other situations, the larger question of "by nationality" remains open. It does not arise where something is unambiguously '''in''' a country category already. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 11:17, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
::{{Re|Rathfelder}}So [[:Category:Bishops in Belize]] should definitely have [[:Category:Bishops by country]] as a parent.

[[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 11:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

== Categorisation of clergy ==

My proposal is that we characterise bishops by country, so for each country there is a category of Fooish bishops, then we can have a subcategory of Bishops in Foo - where not all the individual bishops will personally be Fooish - if its needed. Those in the superior category will be the Fooish bishops who served somewhere else. The Bishops in Foo can be subcategorised by diocese in Foo. The migrant bishops will be categorised as Fooish bishops but also as Bishops in Bar. Fooish bishops is ambiguous, and we can exploit this ambiguity so we dont need both country and nationality categories.  We clearly cannot have two categories of bishops for the same country.  Are you happy with this, or do you have an alternative proposal?  [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 13:36, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
:{{Re|Rathfelder}} I'm not happy with categorisations taking place while category discussions are still live. All such categorisations should cease until a definitive agreement has been reached. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 13:58, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
*I dont think there is much prospect of a definitive agreement being reached.  We will have to work out compromises.  I think we did well to get agreement for bishops to be categorised by country rather than nationality.  But it's only by doing the work that we can discover what is needed. And I undertook to do that when I proposed the main merger.  The things you are objecting to are pretty minor and cane easily be reversed.

How can I get people to see how horrible an idea the Ukraine categories are especially?

:: I am not. He has doubled down on super ahistorical applications of such things. If he had his way, we would categorize eveything in modern Canada as happening in Canada at least from 1763, even though applying the concept to anything close to the modern boundaries does not come until 1867, and really not until 1870, and Newfoundland and Labrador remain outside its scope until 1949. He is also the main advocate of using South Africa to refer to anything before 1910. I am just getting so very frustrated about the whole thing. Especially now that I have been attacked as somehow an agent of imperial governments for putting forth the straightforward argument that when there are clear government in place, as there were in 1899, and clear boundaries were in place, we should follow them in categorization. I also have to admit I think the worst possible outcome is a scheme where we put anything in more than one by place of establishment category, except things that were clearly established in more than one place, and even those cases need to be handled on a case by case basis.

== I am so mad ==

After spending all the work to nominat the Uknraine and Lithuiania categories, they were kept mainly by the work of editors who refused to even engage with what I wrote. They never even tried to answer my basic questions on definition. This is why I hate doing large scale nominations. Because they take huge amount of work, and then based on their very size it is argued that there is a consensus for the rubbish they represent. I am really, really mad that the fully agreed to 1912 revisions were then overturned even though no one even bothered challenging them. I am just sick of Wikipedia refusing to even try to be historically accurate in categories. I am fed up with trying to improve the project and them being attacked as an imperialist for wanting categories to reflect the actual limits of polities at the time in question. The whole thing is just an unending case of people imposing presentism and ignoring reality.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 15:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

==[[:Category:8th century in Croatia]] and other categories nominated for renaming==

Hello Laurel,

Could you please explain and specify why these categories are not complied with categorization guidelines? As for the number of entries in some categories, there are a lot of categories everywhere with only one entry, e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:11th-century_churches_in_Ireland] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:13th-century_Irish_politicians].  Don't you think that perhaps you should have started renaming categories dealing with your own country first? As for the modern state of Croatia, none of modern states existed in the 7/8/9th centuries in that form or territory. I can't see what's the problem here. I could only agree with you that the Category:4th-century establishments in Croatia is maybe not appropriate, because there was the Roman province of Dalmatia at that time, and Croats settled there only in the 7th century. But what to do with the [[:Category:Ancient Roman buildings and structures in Croatia]] for instance? Regards,  --[[User:Silverije|'''<span style="color:#705">Silve</span>''']][[User talk:Silverije|'''<span style="color:ForestGreen;">rije</span>]] 22:14, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear Laurel,

I can see you have reversed my edit on Mary Magdalene page. You say no citation was given for the kiss. The citation is in the actual sentence: The Gospel of Philip. The kiss etc... are mentioned in the same article in the section of the Gospel of Philip. Is that incorrect too?

**It has 2 sister categories as well. I just nominated them for upmerger. Before I did that I went through every article in all 3 categories (about 70 total, the overlap by century is fairly high, 50% between 19th and 20th, even higher than that between 20th and 21st, and yet a few more of the 20th-century cases might have performed in opera in ways in the 21st century that they would belong in that category). This is supposed to be a non-diffusing sub-cat of [[:Category:20th-century American women opera singers]], yet for all 3 categories there was no overlap at all with the ethnicity neutral parent was absolutely none.

== Commons templates ==

Hey! Thought I'd give you a tip regarding the Commons templates - it can be a bit confusing, since Commons both has its own articles as well as categories. New York City for example both has an article on Commons as well as being a category [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/New_York_City] [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:New_York_City]

If you want to link to a specific category on Commons, you need to use [[Template:Commons category]]. 

[[Template:Commons]] will first and foremost link to Commons articles and automatically link to a category page if no article for the topic exists on Commons. However this will not happen if you specify the name in the template, then it will leave a dead link.

== Could you please explain your edits to me because I don't understand ==

We have the dif [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine&diff=1076706985&oldid=1076706007 here]. What you wrote is: "On 2 March, ''The New York Times'' cited US officials who claimed that China had requested that Russia delay the invasion until after the completion of the Beijing Winter Olympics. China's propaganda blamed the US and NATO for the current situation in Ukraine, Despite this, the invasion reportedly shocked many in China's establishment. Yun Sun, the director of the China Program at the Stimson Center, stated that China did not expect a full invasion, but rather a limited engagement in the east."

This doesn't make sense, the grammar is of course incorrect but more than that it doesn't make sense. What was originally written, in a nut shell, was that 'China requested that Russia delay the invasion, despite this the invasion reportedly shocked China's establishment, Yun Sun said it's because they thought the engagement would be limited to the east.' The despite is there because the two ideas are contrasting, on the one hand China requests that Russia waits, on the other hand they're surprised by the invasion. What you've written is that China's establishment is surprised by the invasion despite the propaganda that blames the US. To me that does not make sense. China's establishment makes the propaganda so they are surprised before the propaganda even exists. Now then I have added [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine&diff=1076703716&oldid=1076703238 here] specifically about Chinese propaganda, diplomats, etc. that are supporting Russia and echoing their accusations of biological weapons etc. Which makes smart use of space since the US and UK are alleging that Russia may use those false claims to justify use of Chemical weapons.

:{{Ping|Alcibiades979}} I think that the problem might lie with the date of the reporting rather than the date of the events. The actual sequence is more likely to be (1) China blames the US (2) China expects delay until after Olymics (3) China surprized at no delay.

== Categorisation of clergy ==

I dont think we have a fundamental difference about this.  I think we agree that the location clergy operate in is more significant that their personal nationality.  If I put a category of bishops into a category of priests by century and denomination that is not intended to imply anything about anyone's nationality.  Your arguments about the nationality of bishops apply just as much to priests, who may also not be nationals of the country they operate in. In fact it is extremely rare for clerical biographies to say anything explicit about anyone's nationality.  But if the Anglican priests in India are to be categorised as Indian there is no reason to treat the bishops differently - they too are officially part of the Indian church, and I think its important to connect the bishops to other categories by occupation, location and century.  There are actually plenty of articles in [[:Category:People by nationality and occupation]] about people who are actually not of the specified nationality.    As far as I can see there is nothing in the categories of [[:Category:Anglican clergy]] which talks about nationality.  If you think the present categories are misleading we could perhaps rename some of them.  [[:Category:Indian Anglican priests]] could become Anglican priests in India. [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 17:15, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Rathfelder}} "I think we agree that the location clergy operate in is more significant that their personal nationality." I disagree. They are of equal importance. We need not choose which one to apply. We can apply both. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 09:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Rathfelder}} "If I put a category of bishops into a category of priests by century and denomination that is not intended to imply anything about anyone's nationality." Whether that is your intent, it is, unfortunately, the effect. A man might well be a priest who was born on Germany, which makes him a German priest. He might then go on to be appointed the Bishop of Stockholm, which would make him a Bishop in Sweden. So then, for that man, it is entirely appropriate to categorise him as "21st-century German Roman Catholic priests", "21st-century German Roman Catholic bishops" and "21st-century Roman Catholic bishops in Sweden". It is '''not''' correct, however, to make "21st-century German Roman Catholic bishops" a child of "21st-century Roman Catholic bishops in Sweden" because not every German bishop served their episcopacy in Sweden. Similarly, it is '''not''' correct to make "21st-century German Roman Catholic priests" a child or "21st-century Roman Catholic bishops in Germany" because some German priests might only serve their episcopacy in Sweden. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 14:17, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Rathfelder}} "But if the Anglican priests in India are to be categorised as Indian". They should not be categorised as Indian automatically. A man who is an Anglian priest serving in India should only be categorised as an Indian Anglican priest if it can be established that he is also an Indian national. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 14:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Rathfelder}} "I think its important to connect the bishops to other categories by occupation, location and century." I agree. But that location should be the geographic territory - country - in which they served their episcopacy. It should not be the location of the country in which they are born because that speaks to their nationality. In many cases, the location of the birth country and the location of the diocese is in the same country. However, it is not '''necessarily''' the case. There will be occasion exceptions. For that reason, the category system must not violate logic. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 14:28, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
::In that case we dont agree.  The categorisation is supposed to be related to defining characteristics. A person born in Sweden, who was never a bishop in Sweden, is not properly categorised as a Swedish bishop.  The nationality which is defining for clergy is that of the church.   And NB we have explicit information about nationality for less than 1% of biographical articles.[[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 16:27, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
:::{{Ping|Rathfelder}} Am I to take then, that you intend to delete the entire "bishops by nationality" tree structure? That will be quite a nomination. I can't see it meeting with much support. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 17:57, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
::::No.  But I may interpret it differently. [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 17:59, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
:::::{{Ping|Rathfelder}} As an example of your alternative interpretation, please tell me what is the nationality of those bishops in Sweden who were born in Germany? [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 18:19, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
::::::I dont much care what their nationality is.  I think they belong in [[:Category:Swedish Christian clergy]]. They are clergy of Swedish churches. They may also belong in [[:Category:German Christian clergy]], but if they werent bishops in Germany I think it is misleading to categorise them as German bishops.  And taking at random [[:Category:Bishops of Gothenburg]] most of them seem to be Swedish nationals, so I cant see how it helps to keep them out of [[:Category:Swedish Christian clergy]].

== Battle of Ivankiv ==

Laurel Lodged, in the case of Bucha I agree with you that its dubious to talk of a "victory" since there was continues fighting for Bucha, with only brief pauses, which finally ended with a Russian withdrawal that was not forced. However, in the case of Ivankiv, you have the Russian military defeating the Ukrainian military and taking over the town, after which there was no more fighting for more than a month and the eventual withdrawal took place without any fighting. As Elijahandskip nicely put it, if we followed that logic the result of the Battle of France should be the eventual German withdrawal and not a German victory. However, if you still insist, I can agree with not saying any "victory", however, unlike Bucha, there were no two phases, because there was no more fighting after February 27th at all. So that can not stay. [[User:EkoGraf|EkoGraf]] ([[User talk:EkoGraf|talk]]) 15:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
:{{Ping|EkoGraf}} We cannot use the word "victory". The Russians simply snuck quietly away during the night. [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 16:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
::In the case of an alleged Ukrainian "victory" in a battle that was continues but suddenly stopped with the Russians withdrawal I agree (like Irpin or Hostomel). But Ivankiv was a battle that took place more than a month ago where one force was defeated by another, after which there was no more fighting. The eventual withdrawal is thus unrelated to the actual battle from the end of February. However, like I said, fine, insert result without a "victory", but there were no phases in this battle, which I see you already removed and I thank you.

An article you recently created, [[Draft:Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia|Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia]], is not suitable as written to remain published. While it appears to be notable, it needs more citations from [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:IS|independent sources]].

== Emigrants and denonyms ==

I have to agree with you that we need to move away from the tyranny of denonyms. One example of this to me is <nowiki>[[Georgios Grigoriou]]</nowiki>. I just moved him to Bulgarian sportpeople, Bulgarian people of Greek descent, and Sportspeople of Greek descent. I have to admit I am not liking any of these names. Grigoriou was part of an ethnic Greek family living in an ethnically Greek city (the only non-Greeks were retired officials since it was apparently a coastal place with nice weather). When he was born they were in the Ottoman Empire, while he was a child it became part of Bulgaria. There are little details, but as far as I can tell this was still his place of residence in 1896 and since those Olympic games were not built on national Olympic committees and them chosing competitors, there is no sponsoring country for his competition in the 1896 games. What became of him after is hard to say. If he was still alive in 1918 or so he probably moved to Greece as part of the post-war population exchange. The "descent" categories were built for populations in places like the US, Australia, Brazil, and in certain ways Britain and France, where the people in question were children or grandchildren of people who moved from a "mother country". They are not the best way to caputure ethnic minority populations long resident in one place, especially when the names invoke modern countries with modern bounadaries that the ancestors may have never lived in. Greek and Albanian categories especially face these issues. There are limits to how well category names can work, but I think here we are facing issues with names that do not do any justice to the reality at hand.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 13:30, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
** then there are cases like [[Dame Gruev]], who various writers have claimed as both Bulgarian and Macedonian. The one clear thing is that he actually lived in the Ottoman Empire. I added a category linking him to the Ottoman Empire, but have left the mess of other categories for someone else to discern. The attempt to find demonyms to describe almost everyone leads to messes like this. I personal think we should be less assertive in applying denonyms to people who were subjects of multi-ethnic states that had complex systems of classifying their subjects. This is one reason why I have created some categories like [[:Category:Emigrants from the German Empire to the United States]], since some of those emigrants were either Poles coming from what is now Poland but was then in the German Empire, or residents of Alsace-Lorraine who did not neccesarily see themselves as German but were subjects of the German Empire. [[:Category:German emigrants to the United States]] is also the largest emigrants to the US category at present, even though it has one of the highest number of sub-categories of any such category. Some of which are substantial in their own contents. There were other groups. The Russian Empire ([[:Category:Emigrants from the Russian Empire]]) and Ottoman Empire ([[:Category:Emigrants from the Ottoman Empire]]) we recognize in our category names, but there are other cases where we use a demonym that may not be justified.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 13:37, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

== Category suppression needed at [[User:Laurel Lodged/sandbox]] ==

Hi. Just a friendly reminder about user page categorization.

I've noticed a user page of yours (linked above) is appearing in regular content categories. See for example [[:Category:Christian history navigational boxes]] under '''L'''. This is discouraged. See [[WP:DRAFTNOCAT]] and [[WP:USERNOCAT]] for additional information.

Usually the situation is remedied by placing a leading colon at the beginning of each category declaration like so:

<code><nowiki>[[:Category:Christian history navigational boxes]]</nowiki></code><br>
<code><nowiki>[[:Category:Eastern Orthodox Church templates]]</nowiki></code><br>

'''or''', more preferably, by bracketing the category declarations with [[Template:Draft categories]] like this:

<pre>{{Draft categories|
[[Category:Christian history navigational boxes]]
[[Category:Eastern Orthodox Church templates]]
}}</pre>

Either method will disable the category function. Thank you. Cheers! --[[User:DB1729|<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;color:#4B0082;">'''''DB'''''</span><span style="color:DeepSkyBlue"><small>'''''1729'''''</small></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:DB1729|<span style="color:#4B0082;">'''''talk'''''</span>]]</sup> 12:31, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

::I went ahead and took care of it myself.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Laurel_Lodged/sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=1151665658] If/when the page is moved to mainspace, the categories will automatically become active. Just remember to remove the suppression code after the page is moved, as it will no longer serve any function.
::Also, since my last post, I noticed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Metropolitans_of_Kyiv_in_the_Patriarchate_of_Moscow&diff=prev&oldid=1151532305 this edit]. Template categorization is trickier than other types. Categories must be placed between an opening {{tag|noinclude|o}} tag and a closing {{tag|noinclude|c}} tag; explained at [[WP:CAT#T]]. In this case you added a second closing tag, thus placing the cats outside the set of tags. The correct action is to simply replace the uncategorized template with the new categories, all inside the noinclude tags. The diff would've looked much like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Metropolitans_of_Kyiv_in_the_Patriarchate_of_Moscow&diff=1151572522&oldid=1151523848 this]. The noinclude tags are important because that is how we prevent the categories from being [[Help:Transclusion|transcluded]], which will cause all the articles using the template to be categorized in the same category as the template itself, and the category to get rung up in [[Wikipedia:Database reports/Template categories containing articles|this weekly database report]].

== Emigration by country ==

I just realized that  <nowiki>[[:Category:Emigration by country]]</nowiki> was started to hold articles on emigration that are not biographical, not to distinguish it from emigration by nationality.

I wanted to notify you that your mass moves of the Ruthenian eparchy articles are a little outside of procedure.

== People from Ireland (1801-1923) ==

Maybe I should have named this Irish people (1801-1923). I just added another category <nowiki>[[:Category:Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom for Irish constituencies (1801–1922)]]</nowiki> , which was under both 19th and 20th century Irish people before, but this seems a much more natural fit. While I did create the specific people category, we do have other categories that cover this exact thing for history and politics, and as I see now elected officials.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 12:44, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

== Immigrants to the Colony of New Zealand ==

I created this category because it allows the people to be clearly placed under [[:Category:Immigrants to the British Empire]] . There is also the added benefit that in the case of the two largest subcats of immigrants to New Zealand, British and Australian, their very status as immigrants has a very different meaning in the 19th century. This is especially true in the case of [[:Category:Emigrants from colonial Australia to the Colony of New Zealand]] where Australia itself is not a politcal unit, but a collection of colonies. It is not even clear to me that in 1890 moving from Sydney to Auckland was in any meaningful way more significant than moving from Sydney to Hobart, but we only have a category at all for one of those. Emigration is only emigration when you move to a new distinct politcal entity, and so the name and status of that politcal entity when you emigrate matters a lot.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 16:25, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

== Emigrantion categories ==

I have been operating under the general assumption that all people can best be put in 1 emigration category, and as many immigration categories as needed. The assumption is someone is at birth a national or subject of somewhere. Most often where they are born, but sometimes clearly of somewhere else (say they are a child of an American soldier in Germany at an American base in 1957, and his American wife, it does not matter if they were born at the base, or even if they live on the base, or maybe they are the child of the Guatemalan ambassador to France in 1934. We either place them in X emigrants to Y, or if they will be in multiple categories because they moved, that category does not exist, we are unclear when they came to the place and so we do not know what Y actually was at the time, or some other reason a full X emigrants to Y cat does not work, we place them in X emigrants, then place them in as many Immigrants to Y categories as they fit. This assumes that it is never clear enough that a person who started out X became Y enough to fit in Y emigrants to Z. In a lot of cases it is not very clear either way, and categories should be clear. The issue is if someone is in X emigrants to Y but the precise Y cat does not exist what should we do. My decision up to now has been to place them in just one Y cat, so a person who moved from France to an area in in India clearly under British control, possibly directly serving the British government, I only place in French emigrants to the British Empire, and not in French emigrants to India. Some have argued (OK, so far really only one editor, but others might think this as well), that this is depopulating a key category. I have to admit I am thinking especially in Immigrants to Y categories, we need to be highly sensitive that we only use them when people are clearly going to something that we can connect to the current name use of Y. So I am less than convinced that immigration to India includes anything but moving to the nation formed in 1947. Clearly immigration to Pakistan needs to be limited to those who came from 1947 on, but I can see both sides for India pre-1947. I am beginning to wonder if it might work to place people in both French immigrants to India and French immigrants to the British Empire, for the above. Up until now I have tried to hold to the idea that there is one emigration category for someone leaving a country, and one immigration category for their coming to a country. If we go this route, this will allow multiple categories. I think it also needs to be a really strong case that the name applies. So Bangladesh, Pakistan, Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom and several other names would not apply before their clear creation. Greece would be limited to people going to the state formed in 1829. South Africa I really do not see usable at all pre-1910. India is one where I can see an argument for using it before the modern state was formed, China I think we have a strong argument for using it backward as well, although having looked at much of the Italian emigrants to China category contents, I am not sure emigrants is the right name for many of those people. The emigrants v expatriates issue is another cause of a huge proliferation of small categories that might need to be thought about. Do you think it is better to in some few cases allow multiple categories for a single act of leaving place X or arriving in place Y, or do you think we should try to choose just one category that best suits it. I would say if we do not know when someone left X or arrived in Y, we should not just put them in both categories. So for example if we know someone was born in the Russian Empire in 1890 and we know they were a permanent resident of the US from 1932 until they died in 1965, but we have no clear evidence where they were from say 1900-1932, we would not place them in both Soviet emigrants to the United States and Russian emigrants to the United States, but would place them instead in People from the Russian Empire or an appropriate sub-cat, because we know this is true, and in immigrants to the United States, because we know this is true, and just not place them in any emigration category until we can find an approriate sub-cat. However if they emigrated from France to Bombay in 1923, maybe we can place them in both French emigrants to the British Empire and French emigrants to India. Although we do have Immigrants to British India, which we could also place them in. I think I will do the last for now, but leave the other 2 categories intact, at least for now.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 17:35, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

== Local prosecutors in the US ==

In the US, different states call the local prosecutors County Prosecuting attorneys, states attorneys, district attorneys and other things. Generally in American speech "district attorney" is the term used, even if it is not the technical local title. In each state they have one system. The names are specific to the state. You do not have county prosecutors and district attorneys, you have one or the other. A few small states do not have this local office, and a few it is appointed not elected. In most cases if it is called district the district corresponds to a county, but a few states have multi-country districts. Plus Connecticut does not functionally have counties, and Massachusetts has abolished counties. Maryland, Missouri and Nevada have cities that are outside a county, in Nevada they abolished a county, and in Maryland and St. Louis the cities exist outside a county, Baltimore and St. Louis, but beyond the city limits is a county with the same name. In Michigan Detroit used to have its own seperate court at the level of most county counts, but I believe at that time the same county prosecutor handled both the Detroit Count and the Wayne County Court matters. Virginia has lots of cities not part of any country, and at least one county that is more the size of a city and has no cities under it, so it is a mess. We only at most need one category for those who filled this level of position for each state, but since most prosecutors at this level are not notable, it is not clear we need that.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 14:46, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*We have [[List of district attorneys by county]], which may or may not be well named, and it may or may not be a useful list for telling us who all the current holders of these offices are, and it may or may not actually be up to date. It is useful in explaining the position by state. The main article is [[distict attorney]], but it opens by saying "n the United States, a district attorney (DA), county attorney, county prosecutor, state's attorney, prosecuting attorney, commonwealth's attorney, state attorney or solicitor is the chief prosecutor and/or chief law enforcement officer representing a U.S. state in a local government area, typically a county or a group of counties." So it appears that we have decided (although I am not sure how much this decision was made by conisdering the sources) that there is a unified concept here, and that while it is know by at least 8 different names (4 sub-units of the US call themselves Commonwealths not states), there is a single concept that exists despite all these names.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 14:51, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*To give a summary, Alabama has 41 districts attorneys, each having districts of 1 or more counties. There are 67 counties in Alabama. District attorneys are elected by the voters of the district. Alaska does not have counties, the districts are named after where the courts are. Some attorneys are assigned to multi-districts. Attorneys are appointed by the State Attorney general.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 14:54, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*One thing that confuses this matter, is you could have a person who has the title county attorney, who is not in a function of a district attorney, or you could call a person the county attorney, who does function like a district attorney. In the former case the county attorney would advise county government officials on legal matters, assist in drafting legislation to meet legal requirements, and represent the interests of the county in court. They would not handle prosecutions or other matters before the court, you would have someone else do that. Elsewhere the county attorney would handle prosecutions and do other such things. They may or may not also defend the county when sued, advise county government on legal matters etc. My guess is that the former is not really something that we need a category for. Whatever we do we need to categorize people by what their job is, not what it is called.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 15:04, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*In some states some county level prosecutors are elected while others are appointed.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 15:07, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*Iowa calls the district/county attorney a county attorney, but 2 out of 97 cover multiple counties.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 15:08, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
*:Hi {{Ping|Johnpacklambert}} I assume that all this is in reference to my comments [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_August_9#Category:State_attorneys here]. So is my proposed scheme workable? Can you have a category for public prosecutors for each US state that have DAs for the state and DAs for the county or city as children? [[User:Laurel Lodged|Laurel Lodged]] ([[User talk:Laurel Lodged#top|talk]]) 16:17, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
**: Each state only has one set of DAs as a sub-group. How exactly these are assigned varies by state, and what they are called be it prosecutor, attorney or solicitor, varries. However if they are called states attorneys, county attorneys, district attorneys or anything else, they do the exact same job. Each handles the criminal prosecutions related to crimes that are state as opposed to federal crimes in the area they are over. They may serve a county, multiple counties, districts that take in parts of multiple counties, a specific city, or some other area, but in each case they handle all prosecutions of state as opposed to federal crimes in that area. In the US there are state crimes and federal crimes. Some state level judical system agents are elected in election in a specific city or specific county (mostly county), some are apointed by local governments, some are appointed by the state to operate in a specific area, but they all do the same job, although they have different names.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 18:34, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Hey Laurel! I am just finishing up a redo of Christianization, and the reviewer said it needs more links. You seem to have an eye for those, and I wondered if you might not be too busy to take a look and add a few. Those are the kinds of details I both hate and suck at accordingly. If you could, I'd be grateful, but if not, I understand. [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 21:42, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

== Blocked; participation in the Proposed Decision ==

I have blocked you for 72 hours for two comments you made yesterday at CfD [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_August_22&diff=prev&oldid=1171855658] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_August_22&diff=prev&oldid=1171855872]. I have done this as a normal administrator action - not as an arbitrator. However, as an arbitrator if you have comments you would like to post to the PD talk page during that 72 hours, reply to this thread with what you would like said and I will make sure to copy them over for you.
