Source Question

Thanks for adding ethnicity facts to so many county articles - can you please provide citations for what you add? Thanks, Ruhrfisch 00:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for the detailed reply. I saw your change to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and the Population section there has 8 or 9 references, which makes assumptions about your source somewhat confusing. I realize you didn't write it, but the sentence before your new one starts with "According to the US Census", but the ref cited at the end of the sentence before yours is to the MLA. When I looked at the reference to the Quick Facts here I didn't see the info you provided there (although I don't doubt that it is there). Long story short, it is always safe to cite (and please ask if you need help with citing). I would definitely cite the specific source (not just Census Bureau) when there is any doubt possible (as in Lancaster Co.). I have not looked at your other edits, it may well be some of them are are OK as they are simpler situations, but it would still be safer to cite. Thanks for adding this info, Ruhrfisch 03:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
  P.S. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

I have the same question for Cumberland and Sagadahoc counties in Maine - the first few paragraphs of the Demographics section are on data from the federal census of 2000. However since I couldn't find this ancestry data in the 2000 federal census, I have moved the ancestry data to the end of the section pending confirmation. Verifiability is obviously key in editing demographic data. Please consider replying here. Thank you.--Chrisbak 20:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt reply - I found the ancestry data for the 2000 Census (census.gov) in the "SF 3" section. It is interesting data, however right now an editor could be absolutely baffled by where you got your percentages from. Therefore I would probably have said something like this: "Ancestry reported out of 125% (multiple answers were allowed) was: ..." followed by percentages from census.gov. Also I might have placed my edit with the information from the "Social characteristics" section, rather than the data from "General Characteristics". However ask any questions you have at Editor Assistance - simply click "Request Assistance" and someone will reply. The editors who reply there are very willing to help new editors.--Chrisbak 22:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I tried to find the information using your description on User talk:Chrisbak but could not (I'm tired, so more dense). Since it is not trivial to find, I think you must cite the actual webpage you get it from (please). You can either do this as a link: [1] or using <ref> tages or even {{Cite web}} in side a ref. Otherwise there are going to be other editors who revert it or vandals will change it and no one will know where to look for the original data. Ruhrfisch 03:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

First I did verify the Census Bureau reported ancestry data by county. It's in the table "Social Characteristics" at the end, titled "Ancestry (single and multiple)". Since apparently multiple choices were allowed, the Census Bureau percentages - based on population - totaled more than 100%. That's the data I posted above that I would have used - without trying to be critical or "supervisory". Also this was what Moneqasque posted on my talk page about where the data came from - note it's apparently based on "first ancestry reported":

__________________________

This is how you´ll find the Census 2000 data for ancestry: Go to American Fact Finder. Select "Census 2000 Summary File 3 (SF3) - Sample Data." Select "List all tables". Select "PCT 16 Ancestry (First Ancestry Reported)". That´s where the ancestry data comes from. I simply did the percentage math and placed in the article only those figures which were at least 5%.

Ambiguous links

Hello. Thank you for your recent edit to Aroostook County, Maine. Your edit included links to the pages American, English, and French, which are disambiguation pages. This type of page is intended to direct users to more specific topics. Ordinarily we try to avoid creating links to disambiguation pages, since it is preferable to link directly to the specific topic relevant to the context. You can help Wikipedia by revising the links you added to Aroostook County, Maine to refer directly to the most relevant topic. (This message was generated by an automatic process; if you believe it to be in error, please accept our apologies and report the error to help us improve this feature.) --Russ (talk) 06:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi! This is a "me too" message :) for the stats on people of "Irish" ancestry. The link Irish also leads to a disambiguation page. I think it would be better to use [[Irish American|Irish]] instead. Keep up the good work though! Gil Gamesh 12:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Since I asked you nicely to be more careful about the creation of ambiguous links, I see that you have continued adding such links to dozens of pages. I am therefore asking you more strongly to correct your own links when editing pages. Your failure to do so creates more work for me and other editors, and is (at a minimum) impolite and inconsiderate. --Russ (talk) 21:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Zimbabwe-related articles

Please stop adding so many links. Your intentions are good, but linking to the same article more than once per paragraph is excessive. Perspicacite 05:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

have a nice day.

Census in Transnistria

Please let me know the source for detail data of 2004 Census in Transnistria at rayonal level.--MariusM 20:38, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

As a principle, Wikipedia is not a reliabhle source and can not refference itself. Data may be correct but I am curious to see if those were officially published. I was not able to find ethnicity data at rayonal level published officially by PMR authorities, despite the fact that I looked for them, I was wandering if PMR gave up at the secrecy on this issue.--MariusM 19:52, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Question about data added for Genesee County, New York

Hi,

Thanks for your contributon to the article here. I have been trying to put ref's in and am not finding the same numbers according to Census 2000. Can you help? Thanks. Ward20 (talk) 03:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

You can find those statistics in the Census 2000 Summary File 3 (SF 3) - Sample Data. Scroll down the list until you find "First ancestry reported" and then do the percentage math, as just the raw numbers are given. Monegasque (talk) 14:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Sourcing

I notice that you've added population statistics to Wisconsin county articles. Would you please add the source of these statistics to these and all articles? While they look reasonable, how can anyone trust that the statistics are valid without citing the reliable source? Royalbroil 14:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

They're from Census 2000, as the rest of the population statistics. The reason why I didn't mention it was because I thought it would look somewhat redundant to mention specifically that the statistics for reported ancestry were indeed from the same source as the rest of the population statistics. The statistics for race and Hispanic origin, after all, are quoted as such, without any specific mention of the fact that their source is Census 2000.Monegasque (talk) 14:25, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

More precisely, those statistics can be found in the Census 2000 Summary File 3 (SF 3) - Sample Data (First ancestry reported). I have only included reported ancestries that make up at least 5% of the population in a given area. Monegasque (talk) 14:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Wabash County, Illinois

I reverted the edit as it sounded suspicious. Also, if any unreferenced content on Wikipedia will be removed. You must cite information using <ref>source</ref> or a citation template. Any other content will be deleted. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 14:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I had clearly mentioned the source, which is the same as for the other population statistics ( Census 2000 ). In any case it would definitely have been a good idea to ask me first about the figures before taking unilateral action exactly a minute after I had posted those figures. Deleting figures the very second you see them, without even taking the trouble of asking about them (or checking them) is way too rash for anybody's taste. Monegasque (talk) 15:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Any content that is not referenced to a source using a ref tag can be deleted without any discussion per policy. If you have a problem with that, bring it up at WT:CITE, although it is a good policy that will not change. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 14:11, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Conflicts with data?

I see that plenty of other people have asked you about your "according to Census 2000" edits. I'm quite confused about your source for some of these: this table says that the population of Donnelly was 15.0% American, 13.1% English, 13.7% German, and 5.2% Italian, but your edit says that 20.2% were of American, 14.9% German, 14.0% English and 7.0% Italian ancestry according to Census 2000. And by the way: I'm rather busy currently; would you please reply on my talk page? Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 23:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Briefly: You get different results depending on whether you base your figures on Table PCT16 Ancestry (First ancestry reported) (in which case the result can better be compared with the percentage of those reporting Hispanic or Latino ancestry) or on Table PCT18 Ancestry (Total categories tallied) for people with one or more ancestry categories reported. I'll post a reply to your talk page as well. Monegasque (talk) 15:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Could you get me a link to the two pages, say, for Donnelly? Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 18:10, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks much! Nyttend (talk) 22:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Román Baldorioty de Castro

How are you? I would like it very much if you would stop changing Román Baldorioty de Castro's surname. He was "not" known as Roman Baldorioty. I hope that you understand that he is a beloved historical figure in Puerto Rico and changing or shortening his surname does not make any sense. Thank you. Tony the Marine (talk) 00:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Census sources

Hi Monegasque, recently an IP address user changed all of the demographics data you added to Rhode Island's counties. The changes have been reverted, but since no inline reference was given I ahd no way to check the data. Would you please add refs to your census data additions? Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 14:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Categories

Thank you for undertaking the dry work of categorization.

One point you should bear in mind: we avoid redundant categories as much as possible, so that the cat line does not become an unintelligible blue blur. Thus, for example, bios in Category:Nebraska writers should not have Category:People from Nebraska, since one is a subcat of the other; the People cat adds no new information.

Again, if you are going to add Category:People from Buffalo County, Nebraska, you should also create the cat, by clicking on the redlink and adding Category:People by county in Nebraska, as the cat to which it belongs. (In this case it is probably better away; how many notable people from Buffalo County are there?)

Bevins

I hope you don't offence at what I've done to Bevins. Although it obviously its has roots in Welsh, it is pretty much a Anglicised version of the original Welsh. I also read once it was from the Norman French for wine drinker, but that seems unlikely to me. Bevo74 (talk) 21:42, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Lorrie Morgan

Where did you get that Lorrie Morgan is a Welsh-American enough to add that category? Atlantabravz (talk) 23:13, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Morgan is a surname of Welsh origin. In many cases European immigrants have anglicized their names (Schmidt became Smith, Mueller became Miller, Nilsson and Nilsen became Nelson and so on), but Morgan is not a name of that type. Excluding African Americans (most of whom adopted Anglo-Saxon or Celtic surnames upon their emancipation after the Civil War), it's almost certain that any American born as a Morgan is at least partially of Welsh ancestry. Here's an article about the Morgans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_(surname).Monegasque (talk) 10:13, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

The claim that Lorrie Morgan is Welsh-American needs to be justified by information that is included in her article. Presumably, that will take the form of a reference to a reliable source. Excluding African Americans... it's almost certain that any American born as a Morgan is at least partially of Welsh ancestry. A sweeping statement like that one needs a reference, in my opinion. EdJohnston (talk) 05:13, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Someone's surname says something (possibly) about the nationality of their great-great-great-....- grandfather, but nothing about the other 63, 127, 255 or whatever of their ancestors. And that's assuming that none of those male ancestors changed their name for any reason. Not safe grounds for assigning a category. PamD (talk) 07:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

{{surname}}

Why are you removing this useful template from pages, while you are usefully categorising them by surname nationality? The footnote it generates is useful, and I think it also means that the article is recognised by various bots as a disambiguation-type page so doesn't get tagged as a stub etc. PamD (talk) 13:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

The reason I removed it from a number of pages was that it seemed redundant, but you do have a point. I'll leave it from now on. Monegasque (talk) 13:40, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Monegasque. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your categorisation of articles based on surnames. The thread is here. Thank you. EyeSerene^talk 22:30, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Episcopalian

Hello. I noticed that you were adding religious affiliation to articles on certain American subjects and that, in doing so, you listed Philip Pendleton Barbour as Episcopalian. Please note that Episcopalian is a disambiguation page (actually, a redirect to one) and should not be linked to from articles. I changed this particular case to [[Episcopal Church (United States) |Episcopalian]]. You may want to do that with other Episcopalians you encounter. Rklear (talk) 15:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that. Monegasque (talk) 15:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Hockey players

Why are you removing The countries from hockey players biographical info. If there's a MOS you are acting on, please provide it. Thanks ccwaters (talk) 14:14, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm not removing the countries as such. The point is that if you mention that somebody was born in, say, Lansing, Michigan, it's totally unnecessary and redundant to add "United States", since everybody who is able to read these articles knows that Michigan is a U.S. state. The Simple English Wikipedia might be a different case... Besides, the nationality of the player is always mentioned anyway: "John Doe is an American ice hockey player from Lansing, Michigan" and so on. To resume: stating in every article about an ice hockey player from Michigan (or any other state) that Michigan (Oregon, Massachusetts etc) is situated in the United States of America, as if everybody didn't know that already, provides absolutely no new information, gives a somewhat irritating impression of underestimating the reader's mental capacity and looks just plain cluttery. If there really is somebody out there who doesn't know which country this strange and never-heard-of "State of Michigan" belongs to, the surprising truth ("Wow, Michigan is actually in America! I had no idea. I gotta tell all my friends...") can easily be found out by a single click. If you check out the articles about, say, American politicians, you'll find out that they normally follow the pattern "born in Lansing, Michigan", without adding "United States of America", for the simple reason that it can safely be assumed that nearly every reader already knows that Michigan is a U.S. state. I know that that in articles about sportspeople it isn't uncommon at all to find redundant mentions about Michigan, Virginia etc being U.S. states, but the fact that a practice is common doesn't necessarily mean that it makes any sense. And the pattern "born in Lansing, Michigan, United States of America" (Instead of "born in Lansing, Michigan", the pattern you'd normally expect) makes absolutely no rational sense at all. A good rule of thumb is that unnecessary information and clutter should be avoided. Monegasque (talk) 15:13, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

BTW: As the question about whether one should write "born in Lansing, Michigan" or "born in Lansing, Michigan, United States of America" doesn't really rank among my top priorities, I haven't embarked on any campaign to use the simpler pattern in every article about an American ice hockey player. I've just simplified the pattern in a number of articles where I've added a category about their county or city of origin. As far as I can remember, I have made no changes to articles which already have that category. My main interest lately has been the category "County of origin"/"City of origin", not the pattern we've just been discussing.Monegasque (talk) 15:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I always thought the MoS was to provide the country as a effort to be less Northamerican-centric (see also Canada). Sorry, I don't have a link on that. Can you hold off on those for a bit while I try to find it? I have no issue with your category removals. ccwaters (talk) 16:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#American_.28and_Canadian.29_geographic_name_MoS. I'll go from there. Quite honestly, I don't really care either way. So, if this mythical MoS I referenced doesn't exist, I'm not going to stop you from continuing. ccwaters (talk) 16:27, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I guess that MoS was in my head. Thanks for cooperating though. ccwaters (talk) 13:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

No sweat. Monegasque (talk) 13:46, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

wiki tip: how delete a category you've created

I notice that you recently blanked several categories that you created yourself. If your intention is to delete them, you can save time and steps by applying the {{db-author}} template to the page. This works as long as there are no significant contributors other than yourself, which is often the case with categories. The thing is, only administrators can delete categories, and they tend to be busy people. Simply blanking the page is less likely to get their attention. - Stepheng3 (talk) 01:55, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

To help with sorting, it's better to NOT include diacritics. For example, [[Category:People by city in Poland|Swidnica]] [[Category:People by city in Silesia|Swidnica]] [[Category:People from Świdnica County|Swidnica]] or, more simply {{DEFAULTSORT:Swidnica}} This way, Świdnica will be listed with the S's instead of after the Z's.

Iraq War

Hi, I've been going through the articles in Category:Congressional opponents of the Iraq War because another editor has taken it to CFD asking for deletion. I'm hoping to save the category, so I want to be sure that nobody is listed who doesn't really belong there. I noticed that you added Jeff Bingaman to the category -- but there's no mention of Iraq in the article, so it would help if you could add info to support the category, otherwise I'll have to remove it. Thanks! Cgingold (talk) 03:41, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

That's easy. This [2] shows that Bingaman was among those who voted against authorizing the war in the first place. It isn't exactly classified information. It is, rather, very literally a matter of public record. The corresponding list for the House can be found here: [3]. These lists are very useful for making the distinction between those who opposed the war from the outset from those who merely jumped on the anti-war bandwagon afterwards, when it turned out that things didn't go quite as smoothly as they'd expected.

• Category:Acehnese people

Cheers SatuSuro 05:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Those are two different things altogether. "Acehnese people" is an ethnic category, whereas "People from Aceh" is a geographical one. All people from Aceh aren't "Acehnese" in the ethnic sense of the word. Monegasque (talk) 05:14, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

What can I say? It does look nice... Monegasque (talk) 22:29, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Lifetime

Can you stop converting to lifetime template - as the documentation says "{{Lifetime}} is for automatically generating all category tags related to birth and death years, including living people and missing or unknown values. The general DEFAULTSORT can be embedded as well. It should not be used to replace existing DEFAULTSORT and/or category tags." Rgds, Rich Farmbrough, 09:44, 2 September 2009 (UTC).

Incidentally I noticed you took Tom Baugh out of the [:[Category:People from Jackson County, Missouri]]. What was the reason for that? Rich Farmbrough, 10:05, 2 September 2009 (UTC).

a) As I see it, there are only two practical differences between using the lifetime template and the alternative. If you use the lifetime template, the end result will look exactly the same as with the alternative, but the editing space looks slightly less cluttery and, more importantly, using the lifetime template saves time, which is relevant if you do lots of categorizing. It's the main reason why I've been using it. What are, exacly, the concrete advantages with the alternative and what kind of practical problems could possibly arise from using the lifetime template? It is, by the way, a very common practice and certainly no invention of mine. It doesn't matter very much to me either way, but, as I said, using the lifetime template does save time. Please give some practical arguments for the alternative.

b) Tom Baugh is not, literally, "from" Jackson County but from Chicago. As the article states, he is currently residing in Jackson County, but it's not the same thing as being "from" Jackson County. I'll give you another example: I spent a part of my childhood in Lyon, France, but that certainly doesn't mean that I'm "from" Lyon. Those are two different things altogether. Monegasque (talk) 10:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Another word about the lifetime template. Certainly you know that it's a relatively common practice used by many Wikipedia editors and that it's no invention of mine. Has there been any discussion about it? Personally, I'm a little surprised that using or not using the template would matter much either way. As I wrote, I'd like you to give me some practical arguments against using it. Where is the harm, specifically? Monegasque (talk) 10:57, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I disagree with your interpretation of "people from" usage. It has always included not only places of origin, but also places where folks have spent a significant portion of their life or have permanently settled. youngamerican (wtf?) 11:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

"From" denotes origin. When we say that someone is from, say, Glasgow, it normally means that the person we are speaking about is a Glasgow native. There should probably be a different category named, for example, "Residents of X". But never mind that. What I find more interesting is why using or not using the lifetime template for stating the birth and death years of a person should matter so much. What kind of practical problems could possibly arise from using it? As I wrote, it does save time. Monegasque (talk) 11:29, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

The problems are manifold, the background is that it is a shortcut to save time when creating articles. With this there is little problem when an article is new and has few categories. However even the simple question of where to place the template is vexed. It is customary for the birth/death categories to go to the end, and the DEFAULTSORT to go to the beginning of the category list. Secondly many people are not familiar with what {lifetime} does and add another DEFAULTSORT and/or categories. Sometimes these get replaced with another "lifetime" adn the cycle starts again. I have seen several articles with 2 lifetime templates, at least one had a DEFAULTSORT as well. Thirdly we shy away from having (content) categories in templates, it could get very messy, for example someone might introduce a template "personp-places" that took the places a person was associated with and made cats of them, or "footy teams" that took the football teams someone had played for, and so on. Fourthly it adds complexity. At the moment there are I think 5 places that a defaultsort can arise from, DEFAULTSORT, lifetime, BD (a redirect to lifetime) BIOCATS (or soemthing) a for-subst template and Inofobox comics creator. Any bot, person or search engine needs to understand all five. It should be just one. Similarly AWB has to know where to place the template. It is also slightly more costly to render. So while it's not the end of the world it is not helpful to change to lifetime, and changing to lifetime certainly save no time. Incidentally there were several thousand uses of "lifetime" where there was also a defaultsort when I started looking at the problem 24 hours ago.

People from Foo

See this guideline. People are grouped by where they have resided more so than where they were born. For example, Barack Obama should be included in the Chicago cat, not just Hawaii or Kansas.

Would you mind helping in restoring some these categories? It'll be a lot of work, but it'll boost your edit count. :) youngamerican (wtf?) 11:32, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

As I wrote, the problem is that it conflicts with the way we normally use language ("from" denotes origin) and I still think there should be a specific category for "Residents of X". In any case, I'll give the matter some thought, even though I'm quite happy with my edit count so far...:) But really I find the lifetime template issue much more intriguing. I realize that I'm repeating myself, but you still haven't answered my question: What kind of practical problems could possibly arise from using the lifetime template as a shorter and more convenient way to state a person's birth and death years? Monegasque (talk) 11:52, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

You'll have to talk to Rich about that one. I just brought up the "people from" issue. I suspect, though, that his reading of the "lifetime" guidelines is correct, as spelled out in the documentation that it should not be used to replace defaultsort. You might want to ask him on his talk page, I'm sure he'd give you the answer that you seek. youngamerican (wtf?) 11:57, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry: I just re-read your comments and noticed that you hadn't actually written a single word about the lifetime template issue. As you sent me your comments about the same time as Rich Farmbrough, I got your comments mixed up with his. I'll just blame it on the fact that I'm in a hurry. That's the kind of thing that happens when you read too fast, trying to accomplish as much as possible in a short time...:) Monegasque (talk) 12:08, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

charlie parker

just curious why you took out the category:people from wya-what's-it, Kansas. Abie the Fish Peddler (talk) 08:30, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

It's a case of redundant categories. If somebody is from, say, Olathe, Kansas, it's simply redundant to give him/her the category "People from Johnson County, Kansas" as well, since "People from Olathe, Kansas" is a subcategory of "People from Johnson County, Kansas", which is a subcategory of "People from the Kansas City metropolitan area". It's the same thing with "People from Kansas City, Kansas", which is a subcategory of "People from Wyandotte County, Kansas" and so on.Monegasque (talk) 08:55, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

The category "People from Ivančna Gorica" is a subcategory of "People by municipality in Slovenia". This means that in this context the relevant point is the municipality, not the town itself.Monegasque (talk) 10:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

For instance: [5] or [6] . The Spanish and the Portuguese wikipedias give Montemolín as his birthplace as well. Note that Montemolín belonged to the Kingdom of Seville at the time of his birth. This is why he had a good reason to call himself "Hispalensis" in the territorial sense of that word. Monegasque (talk) 18:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Many Spanish provinces have the same name as their capitals. Mix-ups between province and city are very common. If a source states that somebody was born in, say, Zaragoza, one should try to find out whether the city or the province is meant. Monegasque (talk) 19:28, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Manuel Goded Llopis

Look, the man's name is "Manuel Goded Llopis", see quick Google search: Manuel Goded Llopis not "Manuel Goded" therefore, please do me a favor and do not drop the "Llopis" from his name. Thank you. Tony the Marine (talk) 01:11, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Llopis was his maternal surname (of Catalan origin). Maternal surnames are used in normal Spanish-language prose almost exclusively in cases where the paternal surname is a very common one (Pérez, González, Martínez, Gutiérrez and the like), mainly to avoid mix-ups with other people who share the same paternal suname. This is why the politician Diego Martínez Barrio, for instance, is usually referred to as Martínez Barrio. In many cases (especially in the Spanish aristocracy), the paternal surname may look like something one could mistake for a combination of the paternal and the maternal surnames. Example: José Antonio Primo de Rivera. In fact, "Primo de Rivera" was his paternal surname, and if we refer to him with his maternal surname as well, we'll have to call him José Antonio Primo de Rivera y Sáenz de Heredia. Normally, of course, he is only referred to by his paternal surmame: José Antonio Primo de Rivera.

Back to Goded: as his paternal surname (Goded) is not a very common one, he is referred to in literature normally as Manuel Goded, general Goded or just Goded. His maternal surname (Llopis) is only mentioned sometimes when he is named the first time in a given text. Some examples: César Vidal: La guerra que ganó Franco, André Malraux: L'espoir, and indeed every single book about the Spanish Civil War I have ever come across. I googled "general Goded", and got about 40 900 hits. Then I googled "general Goded Llopis", and got exactly five hits. And how is the article about him in the Spanish wikipedia named? Manuel Goded, of course. Without the "Llopis". Aquí está: [7]. Monegasque (talk) 09:30, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Here's a typical example: [8]. His maternal surname is mentioned only once, in the beginning. After that he is is only referred to as "Goded". Monegasque (talk) 09:43, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

• An interesting and valid observation. Therefore, I'll go along and I will revert myself. Feel free to converse with me in my talk page since it is easier for me to keep track of on going discussions. Tony the Marine (talk) 18:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Fresh edits on Spanish cardinals

My dear barnstar bearer, I appreciate your sorting work,but I don't like you removing Spain from the birthplaces. I hope that you've done these changes with the idea to make the articles lighter, because I do not see any other reason to delete the country of origin. I don't now how important are the provinces for you, but for the whole world Spain is Spain and Wikipedia is not the place to show nationalism and separatism. I suggest you to undo your changes and if you've done so elsewhere to correct it, before me alarming the administrators. Drjmarkov (talk) 23:20, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

As far as I can remember, I have only done so in cases where the Spanish origin of the person is very obvious from the context and is clearly stated elsewhere in the article. I'll give you an example, using a fictive person: "Juan Larraín (born 15 June 1978 in Vitoria, Álava Province) is a Spanish actor". My point is that it isn't necessary to state the obvious. In this case, "born in Vitoria, Álava Province" is better than "born in Álava, Spain", because it's more precise and better than "born in Álava, Vitoria Province, Spain", because it's less verbose and, as you put it, "lighter". And in any case, every reader equipped with at least average intelligence will understand that "Juan Larraín" is of Spanish origin.

"Nationalism and separatism"...???? Obviously, you're mixing me with somebody else. I am not Spanish myself, nor do I belong to any of the linguistic minorities (Basques, Catalans etc) in Spain. Of all the languages spoken in Spain, Spanish is the only one I can speak with a certain fluency, even though Catalan, Galician etc are relatively easy to understand if one knows Spanish. If you knew a little more about Spain, Spanish politics and Spanish culture, you would know that the provinces (which I have hightlighted) are not the focus of minority nationalism. Instead, minority nationalists (or "separatists", if you want to use that word) focus on the autonomous communities, which are normally made up of several provinces, such as the Basque Country, which is divided into three provinces. As I wrote, I haven't hightlighted the autonomous communities as such, but the smaller units (the provinces): "born in Vitoria, Álava Province"). The practice of mentioning a person's province of birth carries no political overtones whatsoever. To make it even more concrete: nobody wants to make Álava an independent country, but there are people who would like to see the Basque Country (to which Álava belongs) as a totally independent state, to which, according to them, Navarre and the French Basque Country should belong as well. This is why a person who would like to promote Basque nationalism would have written something like "born in Vitoria in the Basque Country" instead of mentioning the province, as I have done. To sum up: your opinion that mentioning the province of origin of a person supposedly promotes "nationalism and separatism" lacks any sense and can only be explained by the obvious fact that you know very little about Spain, its politics and its culture. You would be well advised to learn to express yourself with a little more moderation. Monegasque (talk) 11:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Nothing is obvious to anyone,because as many people - as many ideas. When something is up to average "intelligence", it is not clear, because we don't know how much intelligence is "average". As yourself I am not a Spaniard, too. As the bigger part of the potential readers are also not Spanish ones, because this is not the Spanish Wikipedia, they should check, where exactly is that province, if they decide to find where this person is born for example. That is why I state, that the country of origin is something very important in a person's biography and should not be avoided or hidden neither for verboseness nor for some other reason. Especially, when it is up to the Universal Roman Catholic Church, the country of origin might be different from the country of service. Because there are other Spanish-speaking countries where exist places with same names as in Spain, and because in the past they have been part of Spain (the Americas for example) nothing is obvious. About the "separatism and nationalism" - this was only a suggestion and I am sorry,if I have made a mistake, but that is how it looked from outside, especially for people , who are not deeply interested in the Spanish affairs. More of the readers here are in just that group. To delete a country's name from somewhere always looks suspicious, and the reasons might be multilayer.Drjmarkov (talk) 14:05, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

A request

Hi there MONEGASQUE, VASCO from Portugal here,

I also want to thank you for the good work you have done on several footballers' pages (and i imagine in other articles as well). However, i would like to ask you a favour, about defaultsorts: PLEASE stop correcting them into a wrong state, please. I explain:

Take for instance Iker Casillas, he is known by his surname, so his def'ort should read "CASILLAS, IKER", no problem there. However, you have wronged other players which i had already corrected, for instance Paulino Martínez Soria. This player is known as PAULINO, so the def'ort should be 100% as the article's name, so that people search this person/player with letter "P".

Ty for listening, happy editing,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 21:07, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Sure, he's known by the general public as "Paulino", but on the other hand the article's name is "Paulino Martínez Soria", not "Paulino". This is why it's kind of irregular to sort him beginning with his first name. Many singers, for instance, are best known by their first name (or their stage name), and in many cases the article about them has only the first name in the title, in which case the only alternative is to sort them by their first name. Articles about footballers, on the other hand, have the full name in the title. A tricky question... Monegasque (talk) 23:19, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Some suggestions

I think you've made some good additions with cats for members of the SLP and SWP, but some of the cats you've created I think are a bit too narrow. Memmbers for the Cochranite American Socialist Union is, I think, too much because the organization was small and didn't last very long. As for the American Workers Party, I think it should be changed to a general cat for the longer lasting Conference for Progressive Labor Action, which was the ALPs name for four years. The Workers Party of the US and the Communist Labor Party cats are too narrow in my opinion, because these were transitory groups that only lasted a matter of months. Just some constructive criticism, I think overall your cats are a fine addition to wikipedia.--Dudeman5685 (talk) 19:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello Monegasque!

Thanks for your help on Dominican Republic-related articles.

February 2010

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Postage stamps and postal history of Northern Epirus, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Yopie (talk) 19:38, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Actually, as I saw it, my edits were minor in the sense that I didn't believe they could be, as the definition goes, "the subject of a dispute". As a rule, using exonyms instead of the standard placenames (example: calling Trier "Trèves" is quite all right if you're writing in French, but definitely not if you're writing in English) should be restricted to a minimum and this seemed to be a case where a previous editor had for some reason used exonyms even though the context didn't seem to warrant it. This is why I "standardized" the placenames according to the names that these places are called in the wikiarticles dedicated to them. I saw it as a question of clarity.Monegasque (talk) 21:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

A comparable case would be an article about the Czech Lands during World War II where an editor would use the German exonyms Königgrätz, Budweis and Iglau instead of the standard forms Hradec Králové, České Budějovice and Jihlava normally used in English-language prose when these cities are referred to. In a German-language article I would, of course, expect to find the forms Königgrätz, Budweis and Iglau, but not in an English-language one. As editors very often speak some other language than English as their first language, many editors tend to half-automatically and more or less unreflectedly use the forms most familiar to them, even though they may not be the standard forms one is supposed to use when one in writing in English. Hence the tendency to use exonyms. Monegasque (talk) 21:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Please, stop the Slovakization, Zlatna was called Zalatna before the Treaty of Trianon, so for example László Lukács was born in Zalatna, not Zlatna. If anybody is born in Constantinapole (Middle Ages), then was he born in Istanbul?--Norden1990 (talk) 11:30, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

As far as I know, Zlatna/Zalatna/Kleinschlatten/Schlatten/Goldenmarkt/Ampellum is in Transylvania, not in Slovakia. I am well aware of the fact that practically all localities in Transylvania have at least two names (Romanian and Hungarian) and that many places there have a German name as well. Istanbul/Constantinople doesn't quite compare with Transsylvania, where we have a case of three ethnicities sharing the same geographical space. If you write that Zlatna was called Zalatna before the treaty of Trianon, you should qualify that statement: Zlatna's official name between 1867 and 1920 (when it belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary) was Zalatna. In 1920, when Transylvania was transferred to Romania in the Treaty of Trianon, its official name changed to Zlatna. Before 1867, when the Kingdom of Hungary was simply a part of Austria and not its own state, it had officially a German name. As Lukács was born in 1850, he was officially born in Austria, not in Hungary, and according to your logic, we should state that he was born in Kleinschlatten (or Schlatten or Goldenmarkt), not in Zalatna, as Hungary didn't exist as a state at that point but was merely a part of Austria. All this doesn't change the fact that even today, that locality in referred to in Hungarian as Zalatna and in German mostly as Kleinschlatten (sometimes Schlatten or Goldenmarkt). This fact was the same before 1920 and before 1867. In all other languages than Hungarian and German, however, that locality is referred to by its official Romanian name, which is the only one you will find in most maps. So the point of using the Romanian form was not "Slovakization" as you suggest (and not even "Romanization"), but standardization. Consult a standard map of the area, and which is the name you will find? Zlatna. That said, I'm not in principle against including both forms of the name (or the German name, for that matter), although it does look a little cluttery. The point is that the name of the locality should preferably make sense to someone consulting a modern map. Monegasque (talk) 12:15, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

• Officially Hungary is an independent state before 1867, there were personal union between Austria and Hungary. Of course de facto Austria occupied Hungary, but if you see a contemporary map, you can find Hungary. You have to know, there are lot of assimilative attacks against Hungary and the Hungarian minority. They (Romanians, Slovaks etc.) declared many Hungarian historical persons as Slovaks, Romanians (Kossuth, Zsófia Bosnyák, Máté Csák). So this an eternal fight between the countries, for example the Slovaks want to create a history for themselves. I am not chauvinist before you would believe it, but the fact is fact.--Norden1990 (talk) 13:46, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

The first person in a given category is most often just the beginning. More people will be added as wikipedia expands. Remember: categories are not lists. Their point is precisely to give accurate information. That can hardly be seen as a drawback. Categorizing people by comune (municipality) cannot be seen as "ultradetailed", as that kind of categorization has been applied to most comparable countries. If somebody had been categorizing people by frazione, that would qualify as "ultradetailed". Compare, for instance, with the huge amount of locality categories in the USA and Britain. Given the fact that Italy has a relatively large population (and, crucially, how many Italian personalities have a wikipedia article), the amount of locality categories in Italy is clearly lower than in most comparable countries.Monegasque (talk) 15:43, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I totally disagree with you! What is the point to give categories made by just one? What "category" is it? --'''Attilios''' (talk) 20:23, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Monegasque, categories do not exist to convey information; they exist to facilitate navigation between related articles. Categories which are small and have no reasonable prospect of expansion can be deleted per WP:OC#SMALL, because they do not help navigation, they hinder it.

This inevitably means that countries where there are fewer biographical articles will have fewer geographical categories for people; if a people-from-province category has only ten articles, there is no point in splitting it up into ten single-article categories.

This will of course change if and when more articles are created. If you want to expand wikipedia's coverage of Italy, please write more articles. But do not create the categories until the articles exist to populate them. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:44, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

The Italian-language article about Piero Polo, for instance (it:Piero Polo) includes two profiles: http://www.sitodelciclismo.net/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=3961 and http://www.museociclismo.it/content/ciclisti/ciclista/10547-Pietro-POLO/index.html . Given some time, I (or some other editor) would have included them (as well as other stuff) in the article I just had started. The notability criteria of the Italian wikipedia, btw, are basically the same as those of the English-language wikipedia. Most articles begin as stubs. If every stub is killed off within 24 hours of its birth, even before it gets a chance to expand, it makes the job of starting new articles a rather tiresome task.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nico Naldini

A tag has been placed on Nico Naldini requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Category order

Generally the category is list by order. the most notable cat came first on the left bottom. I don't think you put Living people and year of birth came first is correct. POB, DOB is relatively no importance, at least less importance than occupation. 210.6.121.21 (talk) 11:47, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Year of birth - Year of death - Place of birth is the usual (or at least most common) way to begin the category list. This is no coincidence, as the articles themselves usually begin by stating these facts. It is the general rule for encyclopedias. Monegasque (talk) 11:54, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I was just about to contact you about the same issue. Actually, it's not a general rule for encyclopedias and is certainly not one for Wikipedia. See WP:Category:

The order in which categories are placed on a page is not governed by any single rule (for example, it does not need to be alphabetical, although partially alphabetical ordering can sometimes be helpful). Normally the most essential, significant categories appear first.

The changes you have made to biographies of opera singers, composers, and other classical musicians will probably be reverted by editors in that area, e.g. Category:French opera singers and Category:Operatic baritones are far more essential, significant and defining for Jean Périer than Category:1869 births, Category:1954 deaths and Category:People from Paris – Voceditenore (talk) 12:46, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Do special rules apply for musicians? Monegasque (talk) 12:54, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

No they apply to all biographies. I'm simply using this as an example. Your current mass re-arrangement of the categories in biographies is not at all helpful to readers and is contrary to Wikipedia editing guidelines. As I said, read WP:Category. – Voceditenore (talk) 13:09, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

"Mass re-arrangement"? Hardly. Remember, we're only discussing the order in which the categories are usually placed. And the most common order just happens to be Year of birth - Year of death - Place of birth - the rest. Besides, that is no invention of mine. That's just the way it tends to be. Those are, after all, the first things usually mentioned in the article itself. As such, the order in which the musician categories (or indeed any particular professional categories) are placed means very little to me. Monegasque (talk) 13:21, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Please understand that your edits, and they are indeed on a massive scale, are disruptive. They don't contribute to the articles, they clog watchlists and edit histories, and they don't follow Wikipedia:Categorization of people, WP:Category and its FAQ, particularly the section "it is generally clear that some categories – for example the birthplace or birth year of a person – are less important than others, such as their status as an Oscar or Nobel Prize winner." -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Practice may vary between different professional categories, but if you consult wikipedia as a whole, the order I referred to is indeed the majority trend. Besides, I'm not on a crusade. If most editors who concentrate on musicians do indeed prefer a different order, they will no doubt rearrange the categories according to their own liking. As I said before, the order in which the categories of any particular professional group are arranged is definitely not one of my main priorities. Monegasque (talk) 13:43, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Generally the first one is most eye-catching, a common (wrong) practice is not a way to support you. Most biography in wikipedia lack of inline citation does not means wikipedia did not need citation. Matthew_hk tc 16:21, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

As there is no generally accepted consensus as to the order in which the categories should be presented, one cannot speak of a given practice as "wrong" or "right" as such. The practice I have referred to is simply the majority practice. That doesn't make it the only legitimate practice (there can of course be no such thing, as there is no consensus), but the fact that it is the most common practice does give it a certain weight... Monegasque (talk) 16:34, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

There is "a generally accepted practice", and it's not what you've been following. It is outlined in the three sets of Wikipedia guidelines that have been referred to you above. Please read them. Voceditenore (talk) 17:13, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, there isn't. Wikipedia:Categorization of people is very clear about that. I quote: "Currently, people tend to be categorized by the following broad categories. There is currently no consensus about the order in which these categories should be placed at the bottom of an article." You can't very well get any clearer than that. As I wrote: no consensus. Monegasque (talk) 18:35, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Few people read mos does not mean Manual of Style does not exist. If no consensus, why you change the order? no consensus mean keep the current format, if the article is living people first keep it first, if it is bottom, keep it bottom. But now already a consensus. Matthew_hk tc 17:33, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Could you please explain this edit? Why move one "People" category (when you left two behind)? If you must move categories around (and I see no practical benefit in doing so), could you please maintain consistency? Thanks. (If I'm honest, I'd suggest that there must be hundreds of better things to do on WP—for someone obviously willing to spend time on the project.)  HWV258.  02:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Nothing mysterious about that edit. It merely follows the practice according to which the category lists usually begin: Date of birth - Date of Death - Locality of birth. A question of standardisation. The other categories you were referring to (the feudal state of which he was a subject etc) are not of a kind to be normally placed in the beginning of a list of categories. Monegasque (talk) 12:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

As you and others have pointed out, there is no standard for the order of categories. Editing articles purely for the purpose of ordering categories in your preference, as in the edit quoted by HWV258, is unhelpful and disruptive. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

There is no unanimously accepted standard, but there is a majority practice, and that's the one I'm following. It is not a question of my personal preference, but of the preference of the majority. Monegasque (talk) 13:14, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Year of birth

Ciao! According to WP:MOS, birthplace must be included inline in the biography. Ciao and good work! --'''Attilios''' (talk) 12:40, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Politicians by party

Hello; I'm not sure if you were aware of this, but the standard format for categories that categorize politicians by party is "NAME OF PARTY politicians" rather than "Members of NAME OF PARTY". They are slowly being changed, but if you want to avoid having the ones you create go through that process, you could change the format you are creating them in.

Cape May County

Hi Monegasque: On June 26, 2007, you added some census details (a breakout of "white" ancestry) to the Cape May County, New Jersey article. I'm having trouble finding the information on the US Census Bureau website, as it's not on the summary or breakout pages for the county's demographics. Can you please direct me to the relevant page, so that I can link it as a reference? Otherwise, the details will have to be removed as they can't be verified. Thanks! MeegsC | Talk 04:30, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

The source is Census 2000, Summary File 3 (SF 3) - Sample Data (First ancestry reported). I did the percentage math and included only those groups which make up at least 5% of the population in a given area. Monegasque (talk) 08:07, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Croatian regions

You didn't seem to be paying attention to my edit summaries, so here goes - the regions of Croatia are not the first-level subdivisions (between 0th level "country" and 2nd level "county"). They're unofficial, geographical-historical subdivisions. So it doesn't make sense to list them as such in infoboxes. You should instead add this information into article content, if necessary. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 22:57, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

One more thing - the Croatian counties have existed only since 1997. Listing them explicitly in birthplace names is by and large anachronistic, do hide them behind a pipe link. Conversely, thanks for moving birthplace categorization away from equally anachronistic per-county categories. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:42, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Elsa Moberg

The article Elsa Moberg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sources. Unencyclopedic. Relied exclusively on two putative "references" that were not obviously about Elsa Moberg and that are raw data maintained by gerontology researchers and longevity hobbyists. Neither is a reliable source. What's left is a name, birthday, a guesstimate for date of death and unsourced statements about where the subject lived. I deleted unnecessary, and unencyclopedic info, and focus on, another "record-holder". The focus in many longevity bios, on "record-holding" by nationality, occupation, blood type or what-have-you is unencyclopedic. The WP:WALLEDGARDEN needs pruning.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Alphabetical order? There is no such rule. Merely a practice followed by some editors. Most editors don't use it. "Year of birth - Year of death - Place of birth - The rest of the categories" is much more common as a categorizing practice. Monegasque (talk) 22:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Disagree, I noticed this as well. It's more common to sort by alpha order and it keeps articles tidier. At least please consider this request when adding future categories, thank you. Jrcla2 (talk) 15:57, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

DEFAULTSORT

You seem to be unaware of the special munging rules for the DEFAULTSORT statement, to make articles sort correctly. You're industrially undoing the hard work of others thereby.

Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MCSTJR#Other_exceptions

Specifically

• "and accented letters and ligatures should be replaced by their unaccented or separated counterparts"

You keep putting accents *back* after folk have worked hard to remove them, thereby making the articles sort incorrectly.

For example, Magnus Pääjärvi-Svensson *should* be between "Steve Passmore" and "Scott Pearson" on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Edmonton_Oilers_players&pagefrom=Lacombe%2C+Normand%0ANormand+Lacombe

Making that happen, by omitting accents from the letters in the sort key, was the reason DEFAULTSORT was invented.

Category sorting

Monegasque, I've noticed some of your recent edits to refine the "People from..." categories, e.g. on Sol Metzger. When you refine such a category, can you keep it in the same place as the category that was replaced, i.e. towards the bottom? I think it makes sense to keep these sort of categories at the bottom of the list below the categories that are germane to the subject's notable occupation and achievement. Does that make sense?

I'm very much aware of what a disambiguation page is. For some reason I first assumed that the link to tango would not be to a disambiguation page and just didn't bother to check. I've linked it now as tango. Monegasque (talk) 10:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Ikela Territory

I saw you changed this article to show the Territory as being part of the "Tshuapa Province". There is no such place. See Proposed provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The change is increasingly unlikely. Wikipedia should reflect the current reality. A forward-looking categorization ("sooner or later it will be part of the province, once the province becomes a reality") risks appearing to be political advocacy. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:06, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Reading the above, it seems a bit abrupt. I apologize. But over-enthusiastic views of the speed with which the 2006 constitution would be implemented have caused a mess in articles about places in the DRC. Aymatth2 (talk) 00:33, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Actually, it's not a question of political advocacy, but rather a question of de jure versus de facto. As you may know, Article 2 of the constitution of the DRC states that the DRC consists of 25 provinces, among them Tshuapa Province. This means that from the point of view of of constitutional law, Tshuapa Province and the other provinces stipulated by the constitution do exist, although only de jure, at least so far. The administrative apparatus should have been ready by 2009. That this has not happenened so far makes the situation unconstitutional. The conflict between the constitution and actual administrative practice will sooner or later need to be resolved either by implementing what the constitution stipulates or by amending the constitution. Monegasque (talk) 07:03, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

As a rule, Wikipedia is pragmatic and favors de facto over de jure. The new provinces do not exist in practice, and may never exist. Nobody wants to reopen the constitution, but there are powerful factions in favor of the status quo. The decision to drop the position of "Minister of Decentralization" indicates a distinct lack of enthusiasm. It is reasonable to say in the article on Tshuapa District that according to the constitution it should have already been made a province. It does not seem reasonable for the articles on every place within the district to imply that the change has been implemented. Aymatth2 (talk) 16:36, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Nationality categories

Hi there, I have reverted this edit, as the nationality category should remain, regardless of any regional category which exists. Regards, GiantSnowman 09:25, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Not in this case, because it's redundant. The category Castilian-Leonese footballers is a subcategory of Spanish footballers by autonomous community, which in turn is a subcategory of Spanish footballers. This pattern corresponds to the categories Futbolistas de Castilla y León, Futbolistas de España por comunidad autónoma and Futbolistas de España of the Spanish-language wikipedia. Futbolistas de España is basically a container category. In the English-language wikipedia, you can see the same pattern at work for instance in the categories about American sportspeople, which are listed by each state of the Union: "Baseball players from Alabama" and so on. As you can see, the category Spanish footballers is just two clicks away from Castilian-Leonese footballers. It's merely a question of refining categories and of following an established pattern. Monegasque (talk) 10:40, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

That is baseball; we are discussing football. I am 100% adamant that players should remain in the 'Spanish footballers' category, and I am 100% certain that WP:FOOTBALL will back me up. Do you wish me to initiate a discussion there for wider input? GiantSnowman 10:45, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

You are mistaken. The pattern isn't limited to baseball as you assume, but applies basically to every sport, incuding football (soccer). Example: David Bulow. Category: Soccer players from Colorado, which is a subcategory of American soccer players by state, which is a subcategory of American soccer players. Monegasque (talk) 11:27, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

That article is also wrong. I will start a discussion at WT:FOOTBALL and advise you to contribute. Regards, GiantSnowman 11:30, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

It isn't just about the article about David Bulow. Are you seriously claiming that the category American soccer players by state shouldn't exist at all? By the way, I'm not opposed to having both the regional and the national category in an article, although I do consider that the national category is redundant in a case where there is a regional category. Monegasque (talk) 11:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I would also support the inclusion of both categories, as I have said over at WT:FOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 11:41, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

In that case it would have been a better idea to leave the regional category in the article. You could just have added the national category without deleting the regional one. From your action I quite naturally got the impression that you were for some reason opposed to regional categories as such, which I did find strange. As my impression about your opinion in this case turned out to be mistaken, I really can't see much cause for a disageement. Having both categories is actually redundant, but I certainly won't insist on having only the regional category (as the Spanish-language wikipedia does). My main point was the existence of regional categories as such. Monegasque (talk) 12:17, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

In fairness couldn't you have done the same? GiantSnowman 12:23, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

When, exactly? Monegasque (talk) 12:27, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Voila. GiantSnowman 12:30, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

At that point, no one had stated a different opinion. I was merely following the example of the Spanish-speaking wikipedia and general wikipedia guidelines, according to which parent categories aren't normally included in the article, unless there are very good reasons for this. As this is the general rule, I was a little surprised that someone actually did think differently about this matter. However, the mere fact of someone stating that the national category should be included even in a case where there is a regional category does change the situation. As I told you, my main point is the existence of the regional category as such. The national category is actually redundant if there exists a regional one, but I consider it a matter of secondary importance. If there is a consensus for maintaining the national category even where it is, strictly speaking, redundant, then so be it. Monegasque (talk) 12:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

This isn't the Spanish-language Wikipedia, it's the English-language one, and all Wikipedias operate very differently. Luckily now we are discussing the matter, so consensus should be established either way. GiantSnowman 12:57, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Categories - Favour

Hi there MONEGASQUE, VASCO here,

i apologize for removing several sub-categories in Spanish footballers. Since i used "rollback" and "undo" always, it was bound to be that way. However, no difficult reasoning here, SPANISH FOOTBALLERS has to stay always because that's what they are, hence my reversions. Also regarding the sub-categories, please make sure in the future you add (example) MURCIAN FOOTBALLERS after SPANISH FOOTBALLERS, not the opposite.

Now, for the favour: could you please stop inserting Lorenzo Juarros García's defautsort in letter "J" instead of the correct "L"? The player is known as LOREN (or LORENZO as the article's first name), not JUARROS.

Attentively, again my apologies, have a great 2012, from Portugal - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:43, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Vasco, I had noticed that you had been doing some reverting, so I already posted a comment on your talk page before I read your comment above. The outcome will almost certainly be that both categories should be kept. I have no problems with that outcome although, as I wrote, a certain problem of redundancy remains. I guess we'll just have to live with a little redundancy... Monegasque (talk) 19:31, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

I almost forgot: Feliz Ano Novo! Monegasque (talk) 20:58, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

• Obrigado amigo! Again, however, i kindly ask: SPANISH FOOTBALLERS first, sub-category second, please. Also, after my kind (and thorough) message regarding defaultsorts, you go and do the same in Natalio Lorenzo Poquet (known as NATALIO not LORENZO), kind of confusing to me... --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:17, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Still on DEF'ORT, more info to help you: please have a look at this example (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Daniel_da_Cruz_Carvalho&action=edit&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro see what's written just next to the Olympic squad template near the end - it was not me who wrote it just letting you know!), keep it up - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 18:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

That's merely someones's opinion. Basically the equivalent of someone writing a note in the article about Elvis Presley, claiming that the article should be sorted by "Elvis" (because he was usually known by his first name) and not by "Presley", as it actually is. The problem is, of course, that according to normal wikipedia practice sorting the article by "Elvis" would require the article's title to be just "Elvis" and not "Elvis Presley". If the title of the article includes the person's family name (as it usually does), the default practice is to sort it by the family name. You know, of course, that many articles about footballers, for instance, actually have the nickname as the title. Example: Pelé. When this is the case, the default practice is quite naturally to sort the article by the nickname. The issue is not about real names vs. nicknames as such, but about the title of the article. Sorting an article by something else than its title is a highly unorthodox practice and I've seen it practiced only in some articles about footballers in the English-language wikipedia. I don't recall having seen any article sorted by the nickname (when then title has the real name) outside of the football project of the English-language wikipedia (and even there only for some nationalities). In the Spanish-language wikipedia, for instance, all articles about footballers seem to be sorted the way one would expect: by the title, and not by the nickname when the title is the real name of the player. Check out, for instance, Lorenzo Juarros García, the article you already referred to. According to you, it should be sorted by his nickname. However, in the Spanish-language wikipedia the corresponding article is sorted precisely as one would expect: Juarros García, Loren. Monegasque (talk) 20:43, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

It has been pointed out to you on a previous occasion: this is EN.WIKI, not ES.WIKI. Happy week again! --Vasco Amaral (talk) 00:32, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Quite so. The practice which you advocate (not sorting by the title) amounts to breaking one of the basic rules of sorting of the English-speaking wikipedia and seems to occur only in articles about footballers from certain countries, and not even there systematically. Besides, like I've said earlier, a truism is not an argument. The most important facts of this matter are these: a) Normal wikipedia practice is to sort an article by its title, not by some other word. If the title includes the surmame, this means sorting it by the surname. To do otherwise means breaking a rule usually considered as self-evident and seems to occur only in very small section of the English-language wikipedia, and not even there in a systematic way. b) As a rule, those football players who are better known by their nickname already have their nickname as the title of their article. In those cases, the article is of course sorted by the nickname. As I said earlier, it's not a question of nickname vs. real name but of following the basic rule according to which an article should be sorted by its title. c) As we are mostly talking about footballers from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, the Spanish-language wikipedia is an important frame of reference. For very obvious reasons, the best knowledge about footballers from the Spanish-speaking world tends to concentrate there. And they follow the normal practice of sorting the article after its title, as expected. Monegasque (talk) 07:58, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

• Not even with the example i provided (Dani), OK, it's a shame to have it that way :( --Vasco Amaral (talk) 21:59, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Vasco, I have already explained to you in great detail that the practice that you advocate (and which you seem to be practically the only editor in following) means breaking one of the basic rules of sorting of the English-language wikipedia: if the title includes a surname, sort the article by the surname. On the other hand, if the title consists of the nickname, then and only then should the article be sorted by the nickname. I strongly suspect that you have been influenced by a common practice of the Portuguese-language wikipedia, where editors most often seem to sort by the first name, but even so you should at least make an effort to abide by the rules of this wiki. You cannot just make up you own set of rules for sorting articles and then expect the rest of the editors to adopt them. To put it mildly, that is not a realistic expectation. Monegasque (talk) 22:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

• I will start a discussion at WP:FOOTY then, if your reasoning gets "the best of it", i will abide by. But please, don't say i am THE ONLY one to "operate" that way because i am not, please. PT.WIKI? No, never edited in that version, nor have i seen the rules therein. --Vasco Amaral (talk) 03:01, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Spanish footballers - Sub-categories

Hi there MONEGASQUE,

I have been helping you, inserting the due categories in the due articles. So far, i have many teams in La Liga and some in Segunda División "done", many more to go, i believe.

Attentively, keep up the good work - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 00:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

• Regarding what you have just proposed me about DEF'ORT, the Albacete Balompié example serves to illustrate that TRANSFERMARKT.com is not good to source the disposition of Spanish footballers' names. Example? #11, Adrià Granell, there, he is presented as being known as GRANELL, he is NOT, he's known as ADRIÀ.

Cheers - --Vasco Amaral (talk) 00:16, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

transfermarkt.co.uk is the best resource when it comes to dealing with precisely this kind of question. If he isn't listed by a nickname in transfermarkt.co.uk (while many other Spanish footballers are), what kind of reliable resources are you going to use to prove conclusively that he is significantly more often known by a nickname than as Adrià Granell? Do remember that the burden of proof is on you in that case. Monegasque (talk) 00:33, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

• Regarding the item#1 (help in sub-categories), nothing to say, okeydokey. Regarding #2...nickname? I NEVER mentioned any nickname, i mentioned he's known by his FIRST name (ADRIÀ) and not his second (GRANELL), who mentioned nicknames? Same goes for Salva Ballesta, in his seasons in Spanish football (15 or so i believe), he was always presented in gamesheets, which i read on a weekly basis, as SALVA, not BALLESTA (this has to do with the preference of the person's first name over the surname, nothing to do with nicknames). If you can't/won't believe me, what can i do man? Additionally, if it's me who is getting the big picture wrong, i apologize. --Vasco Amaral (talk) 00:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

There's no substantial difference between a nickname and and a colloquial version of a first name. In this case, Salva is just a colloquial version of Salvador, his official first name. Anyway, what matters here is whether a player is more often known by a name that doesn't include his surname or not. If an online resource as authoritative as transfermarkt lists a given Spanish footballer by both first name and surname (while it lists others by their nickname, or if you want to make fine distictions, by a colloquial version of their first name), you'll have a very hard time proving your case. And remember: in the last resort it won't be me you'll have to prove it to. Monegasque (talk) 01:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Removal of most languages spoken in Buffalo City suburbs

Hi Monegasque, I took the honour of removing your "most languages spoken" addition.

My reasons:

1. You posted uncited information (where did you obtain those facts?)

2. Language spoken does not mean somebody from e.g. Zwelitsha (mother tongue spoken Xhosa) will go to King William's Town and not ask "Can I buy a loaf of bread" ("Global" English used)!!

With this example, I wish to indicate that "most languages spoken" does not matter in the new world anymore. (That is now almost history!)

3. If you persist with language-ID, you may further marginalize the very people a modern society is trying to absorb into it's (global) sphere.

Surely you don't want that, by adding ethnical-based detail on Wikipedia.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

... for pre-empting the outcome of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 April 5#Category:People_from_Karelia by creating Category:People from the Republic of Karelia even though that was the rename target of an open CfD discussion of which you were well aware (since you had participated in the discussion). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the trout. As you noticed, there was nothing even remotely resembling a consensus, which means that in any case the article in question was not going to be renamed. Besides, there hadn't been any new contributions to the discussion for three days. As I stated during the discussion, this is an exact parallel of the Silesian and Pomeranian cases, which is why it was very obvious that it could only be dealt with in the same way as Silesia and Pomerania.Monegasque (talk) 15:30, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

You accurately guessed the outcome of the CFD, but until it was closed by an uninvolved admin that could only be a guess. That's why you should have waited until the CFD was closed before proceeding with an action which prevented the CfD proposal from proceeding.

I'm sure you acted in good faith, which is why I sent you a trout rather than a stroppy warning, but please in future can you avoid pre-empting the outcome of a discussion? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:06, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Request to take part in a survey

I am Piotr Konieczny, a fellow Wikipedian (User:Piotrus) and a researcher of Wikipedia (http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=gdV8_AEAAAAJ). I am currently (in collaboration with WMF) embarking on a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. We have a growing understanding of why an average editor may do so (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Former_Contributors_Survey_Results), but we have a very limited understanding of why the top editors would limit their contributions. Yet it is the top editors like yourself who contribute most of Wikiepdia's content, thus understanding this is of vital concern to Wikipedia's project future.

I am contacting you because you are among the top Wikipediana by number of edits, yet your editing activity shows a decline. I would very much appreciate if you would take a minute and answer the following four short questions. Please note this is not a mass email; I am contacting only few dozen of editors like yourself, and each response is extremely valuable. Your response will not be made public, and your privacy will be fully respected.

If you would like to help out in this project and take part in a very short survey, please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 19:53, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People from Coal Valley, Illinois

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Category:People from Coal Valley, Illinois, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:25, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Notifications about notable residents

Hi, I hope I am not annoying you by notifications from giving attribution to you when I create lists based on the above categories.

You can safely ignore the notifications, but if you are willing to help with replacing the nominated categories with lists, that would be very welcome! – Fayenatic London 09:53, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

I did not get round to listing all the categories before they were deleted. Here[11] is a link to some that were missed, in case you would like to list them. I don't think I will do any more on these – let me know if you would do so, and would like me to trace more that were missed like these. – Fayenatic London 19:59, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
