Ah, don't worry, it's not you at all, and nothing so routine as a categorization issue. (What it was, was some unscrupulous Romanian editor was threatening and blackmailing me via e-mail.) I appreciate the concern, but you're fine. K. Lásztocska^talk 01:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately I have not the slightest idea what would be best to do about that stub-sorting and categorization. That's really not my forte...sorry! K. Lásztocska^talk 05:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Ookay. This is simply a gut reaction and should be taken with a big pinch of salt (I could probably only name two or three cities in the whole of Romania, so I'm hardly an expert). It seems that Romania's lack of distinction between villages and communes is similar to the one here in New Zealand between townships and settlements. If it is like that (basically just two names for virttually the same thing), then the best thin to do might be to rename all of the "by county" categories to "Communes and villages in X County" and merge any that have been split into a separate village or commune category into it. BTW, it seems that one of the county categories may need a speedy rename anyway - for some reason the Ilfov subcat has a small "c" in county (all the others have a capital "C"). Grutness...wha? 05:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Actully this Stubs recognizer help us in Assesment of the articles , the Template:Saudi inlcudes the following code which direct the Talk Page of the article to the right category according to the Class Rate .

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Casa Montessori, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I can't think of any mediators who speak Russia, however three administrators come to mind:

• Maxim (talk · contribs)
• MaxSem (talk · contribs)
• Mikkalai (talk · contribs)

Might be worth asking one of them if they can help. WjBscribe 19:37, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but try: ru:Википедия:Администраторы

That should be a list of administrators on the right. Any of the ones with en-3 or en-4 would be a good place to start. Hope that helps! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 19:48, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, that list on the right has each administrator and some of them have "en-3" or "en-2", which look like Babel ratings. Try leaving a message on one of their talk pages asking about mediators and/or translators - theoretically they'll be able to read it if you pick an en-3 or en-4 =D -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 23:55, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I am quite worried about screwing up the banner if I try to fix this myself, so I was wondering if you can help. On the WikiProject Central Asia banner on talk pages, the quality ratings (A,B, stub, etc.) don't link to their WPCentralAsia ratings pages, but the general rating pages (for example, clicking on the "NA" on NA articles won't take you to Category:Non-article Central Asia pages, but to Category:NA-Class articles). I have no idea how to fix this on the template. Could you give it a go?

Also, I'm confused about the Category rating vs. the NA rating. See Category talk:Kyrgyzstani football clubs and Category talk:Elections in Kazakhstan for examples. Should tags for categories have the former or the latter? The same can be asked for disambig pages and images. The template page says NA is for all of these kinds of articles, yet now separate categories already exist for each of them (John Carter created them - see the subpages of Category:Central Asia articles by quality). I don't believe those classes are included in the code for the template, however. Overall, I know it's not a major deal, but having standard one way or another would be helpful for organizational purposes. Thanks! Otebig (talk) 12:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

In your attempts to "clean up" the categories in the language articles I have made you have made a serious error. You have removed the category labels of higher nodes so that there is no reference anymore. You have removed Category:Afro-Asiatic from Somali and left only Category:Cushitic, for example, but then under Cushitic you have REMOVED AFRO-ASIATIC!!!! That means that a subbranch of a family is left stranded without being included in the Category of its next higher node. Be more careful with your "cleaning" or you will remove the value of your "filing system" approach (which, in my humble opinion, masks more than it reveals). Fortunately, someone is cleaning up your "clean up". I didn't notice this at first, but now I will have to go through and rework all your "clean ups". (Taivo (talk) 03:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC))

Examples of overkill in the "cleanup": in Cushitic, Semitic, Egyptian language, Chadic, Omotic and Berber languages you removed the next higher node in the family tree--Afro-Asiatic; in Algonquian, you removed the next higher node--Algic; in East Chadic, West Chadic, and Biu-Mandara you removed the next higher node--Chadic; in East Semitic, South Semitic, and Central Semitic you removed the next higher node--Semitic; in North Omotic and South Omotic you removed the next higher node--Omotic; in East Cushitic and South Cushitic you removed the next higher node--Cushitic; in Northwest Semitic you removed the next higher node--Central Semitic. I haven't checked in other places yet. (Taivo (talk) 05:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC))

The lower levels aren't affected. It's when you reach the level where the article is a member of BOTH its own category and the next higher category. You cannot just reduce all category lists down to one--sometimes an article must belong to two categories in a hierarchy. (Taivo (talk) 08:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC))

Hi, My concerns with your edits are the same as those of the editor above. Your edits remove all reference to the next highest branch on the language family tree. For example, on the Semitic language page, that means Afro-Asiatic. Ditto the Berber language page. I tried to put things back the way they were, so that Semitic, Berber, Cushitic, etc. are all categorized again under Afro-Asiatic like they should be. However, I didn't finish the job. Hopefully someone will have already done it, or I'll try and complete it later when I have more time. Causteau (talk) 08:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Just my two bits worth: To delete category Afro-Asiatic when the article starts (+/-) "Somali is an Afro-Asiatic language.." seems weird.--SilasW (talk) 08:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I have checked several of the places where individual languages were subordinate to a categorized node. Most are OK. The problem is that you were using a chain saw to cut every cat down to the lowest one without knowing what you were doing. Since individual languages didn't have their own cat (in most cases), the last cat was the immediately superior node, so they were "protected". Just goes to show how much damage can be done by the nonspecialist going to work to "fix" Wikipedia articles based on some automatic rule. (Taivo (talk) 22:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC))

To answer your question, I think the above principle should be applied to both the language family pages and to the individual language articles. For instance, the Egyptian Arabic language page ought to be filed under Afro-Asiatic languages->Semitic languages->Central Semitic languages->Arabic languages since that is where it fits in phylogenetically. Luckily, just about all the language pages on Wiki I've seen were already properly categorized by earlier editors, so all we have to do is revert the changes made. Causteau (talk) 00:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Aelfthrytha (I still have to stop and check the spelling of that!) - you wrote:

I had some questions. First - how to structure the stub templates for these complex names? Second - what the heck is with the "worms" in this discussion? Third - is there any reason you know they haven't been created that they shouldn't be created (is there some political or other issue except from it just not being gotten to)?

Template names, I'd go with WestMacedonia-geo-stub, Ionian-geo-stub, WestGreece-, EastMacedoniaThrace-, but you're right, there are other combinations that would work just as well. The "worms", are the potential can of worms (i.e., problems) with stub types using the word Macedonia - does the Republic of Macedonia also have a region called West Macedonia? If so, we'd need to use something like WestMacedoniaGR-geo-stub (assuming GR is the right code for Greece...). The major problem, though, is that Greece seems to use both Regions and Peripheries, which seem similar to the ceremonial and administrative counties in England. We seem to be using the Peripheries for this split, but I don't think that's ever been formally discussed or decided. Grutness...wha? 00:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't really use that ongoing-split page any more (it was mainly only for when I was adding the country-specific geo-stubs) - in fact i'd just about forgotten it was there./ Feel free to use it yourself if it'll be any help, though! Grutness...wha? 03:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Which part(s) of Kyrgyzstan are you in, or will be in? That way I could have a better idea of which stubs you might take photos for. Otebig (talk) 19:53, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

For the north Issyk-Kul area, we actually have a fair deal of photos, expect pics from Cholpon-Ata and Choktal (the pics now are both from outside the town, not the town itself). Outside of Issyk-Kul, maybe Tokmok, the ruins of Suyab, Balasagun (besides the Burana Tower, we have photos of that), Sokuluk (including anything related to Iasyr Shivaza that might be there), and Kara-Balta. In and around Bishkek, the airport, the Russian Kant Air Base (if you can even go there), anything about Mikhail Frunze (including statues), the Kyrgyz Technical University, and the national bank and national library (which I assume are in Bishkek). Beyond that, anything for the political parties (signs, ads, rallies) would be helpful, as well as anything related to religion/economy/agriculture/etc. There's still a lot left to be added about places in Bishkek, so take photos of anything you think there should be an article about. If I come across any more specific articles without photos, I'll let you know. Otebig (talk) 18:02, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

For Son-Kul (if you haven't already left, sorry for the late reply), we seem to have no pictures of the lake, and could definitely use some. I never went to that area myself, so I'm not sure what's there. On Wikipedia, though, we are woefully lacking articles about sights in Naryn Province, so if there's anything that deserves an article, get a photo, and we'll make a space for it. Otebig (talk) 07:02, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 02:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

The best way to deal with such situations is to use a widely accepted English title if one is available (and apparent from the sources) or, when there is none, to simply romanize the title as per WP:RUS (which is what I have done with that page).

Thank you for stub sorting all the Alberta designated place articles I created – much appreciated! Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 02:59, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

It is an article cross-referencing exercise as 117Avenue has suggested on my talk page (before I had a chance to reply). Most if not all Alberta unincorporated communinity articles now have a wikilink to its administrating municipality within its prose (i.e., "Woodland Park is an unincorporated community in Alberta, Canada within Parkland County") or within its infobox if one exists. By drilling down to that administrating municipality's article, its infobox will indicate the region of Alberta in which the administrating municipality is located. I've never verified the region in each administrating municipality's infobox, but if you drill down to the region articles, each have a list of the administrating municipalities that are located within each. If I recall correctly, no municipality in Alberta is split by a region boundary. Hwy43 (talk) 06:03, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry - just got back from the opera. A cursory glance indicates that it looks fine; just give it a little time to get caught up. I've noticed that happening a lot lately; it takes something like a day for the categories to catch up to where they're supposed to be. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Seems fine - check Myjava District. The category is showing properly there. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:18, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

It's in the "name" parameter of the template - that should match the title of the page. As in this dif.

I am writing this request because you are listed at Wikipedia:Translators available#Arabic-to-English. The text that I'm requesting a translation for is the following:

• "ضابط يكشف "خطط تجسس" المراقبين الدوليين على سورية". Ad-Diyar (in Arabic). Beirut, Lebanon. June 9, 2012. Archived from the original on June 20, 2012. Retrieved June 20, 2012. {{cite news}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help); Unknown parameter |trans_title= ignored (|trans-title= suggested) (help)

The background for this request can be read here. I am preparing for a future discussion about this information at at WP:RSN, and from past experience with foreign-language sources I know that a qualified translation, not merely a machine Google translation, will be requested by the regular reviewers at that noticeboard.

Do note also that I have made this request with four other Arabic-to-English translators besides yourself as past experience is that most will not respond to this request, at least not in a timely fashion. Therefore, should you wish to offer yourself to this task, you should inform the other four so that they will know to disregard the request on their talk pages. You could also simply inform me that you will do the job and I can do the notifying. In any case, here are links to the four other requests:

• User talk:FayssalF#Request for translation
• User talk:Hakeem.gadi#Request for translation
• User talk:Haytham abulela#Request for translation
• User talk:JohnChrysostom#Request for translation
