Category:Maltese artists

Hello :) I see that you added Category:Maltese artists to a number of articles about artists. However, all these articles are already categorized in subcategories of Category:Maltese artists (which is therefore a parent category), for example, Vincent Apap is categorized within Category:20th-century Maltese sculptors, which is itself in Category:20th-century Maltese artists, Category:Maltese artists by century and Category:Maltese artists. Therefore I think that adding the category leads to Wikipedia:Overcategorization, and therefore the category you added can be removed. What do you think on this matter? Xwejnusgozo (talk) 12:43, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Hey Xwejnusgozo, thanks for pointing this out and apologies for seeing this and apologies for the late reply. I agree, I didn't realise that some of them were already classified - I just came across across a couple of pages that were classified either incorrectly or not at all and powered my way through slightly hastily. Please go ahead and revert the edits where necessary, otherwise I'll do it myself over the coming days. Thanks again! --Nevborg (talk) 16:05, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

{{Re|Rosguill}} Thank you for your review, it is much appreciated. Could you kindly let me know which of the sources in the article are you referring to in your review, in order for me to find more suitable sources? I think the first source listed (Rock Productions), which I used to list the subject's academic qualifications, may be considered to be affiliated with the subject, but I'm not sure if there are any others in the article that are also considered generally not reliable.

Malta Scheduled Property Register

@Nevborg: I see that you are adding scheduled properties to the Malta "List of monuments in xxx" articles. Do you think these should be listed separately, eg. List of scheduled properties in Birkirkara for these, and List of monuments in Birkirkara for NICPMI? Listing both NICPMI and scheduled properties within the same list can create some problems due to duplicate listings - for example, many buildings in List of monuments in Birżebbuġa are now listed twice, such as "St George Redoubt" in NICPMI and "San Ġorġ Redoubt" with the scheduled properties. --Xwejnusgozo (talk) 16:23, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your message @Xwejnusgozo:. Yes, it might be a good idea to separate them for the sake of clarity. The reason I was adding them now is that we (ToniSant and I) wanted to include them as eligible sites for the Wiki Loves Monuments competition that opens today. That's why I was integrating them into the same list, but you're right, this brings about an element of duplication.

For the time being I am uploading them manually from an Excel sheet that I have, but I'm trying to figure out an easier and quicker way to do it, as there are almost 800 scheduled sites - if you have any ideas on how this could be done more efficiently please do let me know, it would be hugely appreciated! --Nevborg (talk) 17:45, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

In my humble opinion, clearly showing that the monuments appear on separate official lists is useful. However, I think that it's equally useful to have a single list of monuments in any given town or village, regardless which official list they're on. Indicating the list as a source for verifiable (i.e. a citation) should be enough. Duplicates create a good opportunity to reconsider how we list things. Ontologically, monuments are arguably notable by their very existence and not simply because they appear on an official list. Listing confirms formal/official recognition for the type of protection the monument requires or affords.

One simple question at the heart of all this: are "scheduled properties" also monuments? By Wiki Loves Monuments' definition of monuments the answer would seem to be yes.

Anyway, I believe that given the present requirement for Wiki Loves Monuments 2020, the important thing is they're somehow listed. We can always make adjustments to the list later, particularly if there are strong feelings by the community towards going one way or another. --ToniSant (talk) 18:47, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

I've thought about this some more and we definitely need to find a better way to handle duplicate entries on the list of monuments for any given location. I'm not sure we need to have two separate pages for each location. We need to find a way to indicate easily that a monument is on both lists within the existing table. Perhaps all that's required is a modification, or some simple editing, ensuring that the ID from each list is captured against a single entry rather than split over two entries. It should also be noted that while the NICPMI ID correspond to the official list, the other official list does not have uniqie ID numbers but these have been created for the wiki.

Ultimately, I believe that this is something we should be doing through Wikidata rather than just manually on Wikipedia, even if there are fellow Wikipedians who may frown on Wikidata integration. If we're to go in this direction, we need to find someone who can gives us significant input on setting an appropriate template in place and then we can simply populate all the monuments in the various towns and villages this way. I'd gladly organize an online workshop around that later on this month. --ToniSant (talk) 08:49, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

@Nevborg and ToniSant: I agree that adding the scheduled properties to the existing lists may be the best option with WLM occurring right now. Perhaps in the future the template can be edited to include the "ID" column for NICPMI listings as well as a "Grade" column for scheduled buildings (the latter can be something along the lines of the table in this example). I'm not aware of any easy way to input these other than manual edits (which I agree can be tedious and time-consuming), but I'm not particularly proficient with using Wikidata so I don't really know. --Xwejnusgozo (talk) 00:32, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

@Xwejnusgozo: I agree, that would be a good solution, especially if we manage to obtain a more comprehensive list of properties (at the moment I only have Grade 1 scheduled properties). For the time being, I will continue adding to the existing lists then we can get to work on amending the tables to clarify the ID issue and eliminate any duplicates. --Nevborg (talk) 11:21, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
