I support your I plan.[edit]

Oculi why haven't you renamed Category:Seventh-day Adventist clergy to Category:Seventh-day Adventist ministers? And why haven't you renamed Category:American Seventh-day Adventist clergy to Category:American Seventh-day Adventist ministers? And you have my permission to populate Category:American Seventh-day Adventist ministers with the american ministers. User:Pastorwayne by creating these sockpuppet categories certainly made me annoyed no one should allowed to get away with so many sockpuppet names that is crazy, I can't believe that he has created so many other illegal names to cause so much on Wikipedia.Catfurball (talk) 18:34, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Will do, but one question.[edit]

I'll repopulate Category:American Seventh-day Adventist ministers, with the american ministers. But will Category:Seventh-day Adventist clergy by nationality be deleted or renamed as well?Catfurball (talk) 19:10, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

I've got a job for you.[edit]

@Oculi: Can you rename the Category:Adventist schools in Australia to Category:Adventist secondary schools in Australia for me all the schools in this category are secondary schools, except for one that I took out.Catfurball (talk) 19:38, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

A kitten for you![edit]

Thanks for renaming that category for me, it should have been named that to begin with.

I have a problem for you to fix.[edit]

@Oculi: Go to Category:Hospitals affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Adventist Health System and Kettering Health Network got listed with the hospitals, when instead they should be listed above the letter a like the other networks.Catfurball (talk) 20:09, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Fixed. Oculi (talk) 22:03, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Organi[z|s]ation[edit]

It's unfortunate that the RfC on that wasn't quite constructed in a way that would allow it to move forward. I was on wikibreak during that or would have chimed in. If you re-approach it, I would urge you to lead with clearer language about what would and would not be renamed, and with the fact that -ize is not an Americanism but also favored by Oxford dictionaries and preferred in Canada, and whatever else you can dig up. The -ise spelling is primarily a British/Commonwealth journalism usage, and Wikipedia is not written in news style as a matter of policy. We may permit this spelling, per MOS:ENGVAR, in articles written in British English, but it certainly is not required in them, and it has no implications for category naming. Even if we have a tacit consensus for now to retain it for Commonwealth English-speaking countries' categories, it's just irrelevant for the purposes of other categories, especially those pertaining to non-anglophone countries. If people want to cite MoS, the pertinent part is MOS:COMMONALITY: -ize is a globally accepted spelling, even in British English, so there is no reason not to use it. That said, aside from piecemeal moving, I'm not sure it's advisable to re-approach this for 6–12 months. Rapidly re-RfCing things tends to generate a lot of heat and no light.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  14:48, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

  • I did launch a couple of cfds (3, 5 Nov), which ran into unexpected storms, but not an RFC. I agree entirely with your remarks re 'z', as I am old enough to know that they are true. There are more recent narrower less contentious (so far) cfds. Oculi (talk) 15:30, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Job Help![edit]

@Oculi: There are two logos in Category:Adventist Health that need to be moved. The logo KHNetwork.jpg should be moved to Category:Kettering Health Network. And the logo Hong Kong Adventist should be moved to Category:Hospitals affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. When you are done just let me now.Catfurball (talk) 21:58, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Done. Oculi (talk) 22:03, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
