established/disestablished

edit

Hi Nimetapoeg: Just in case you'll be doing similarly with other years as you have been with 1904 - or already have done so - letting you know that in the case of 2 educational establishments, you confused the year of disestablishment with the year of establishment. They belonged in Category:Educational institutions disestablished in 1904 not in Category:Educational institutions established in 1904. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:55, 1 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Imperial Russian cats

edit

Hello,

the several Imperial Russian people categories are highly redundant. Please stop making mass changes, because of the following reasons:

  • First, you have not discussed it anywhere as far as I see
  • Imperial Russia was still Russia, even if two countries temporarily belonged to Russia.
  • We don't have categories on "Nazi German people", etc, despite occupying more countries than Russia.
  • Imperial Russia is simply Russia, and its geography has not significantly changed
  • Citizens of Imperial Russia were called Russians, just as Soviet and modern-day people
  • The categories cause confusion

Those are only a few issues. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 10:58, 18 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

1650s disestablishments in England

edit

Please explain what you think disestablishment means and how you made the selction that you did for the placement of articels in category:1650s disestablishments in England. -- PBS (talk) 12:33, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Most, almost all, of the articles already had a disestablishment category, so category:1650s disestablishments in England merely provided geographic localization within an extant framework. Nimetapoeg (talk) 16:35, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

The history of the history of the Third Protectorate Parliament show that it was not in a wider category so why did you add it to the category:1650s disestablishments in England? Also why add it to Category:1659 establishments and Category:1659 establishments in England? The Church of England is established by law, how was the Third Protectorate Parliament established and how was it disestablished? -- PBS (talk) 08:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Just to let you know I placed Alessandra Giliani in this category which you created. This woman anatomist was born in 1307 - so much earlier than your category stands right now. Maybe you should change it to 19th century or earlier? Ottawahitech (talk) 15:58, 28 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Question re category for Saints Chrysanthus and Daria

edit

Hi - I noticed that you moved Saints Chrysanthus and Daria from Category:3rd-century clergy to Category:3rd-century Christian clergy, which does not bother me, I just have a question about the article and other similar legendary stories of saints. As the article says, the Catholic Encyclopedia states that the legend is "without historical value" and a contemporary scholar, Candida Moss, writes that the story "simply could not have happened." Therefore what I wonder is, do these saints belong in categories along with actual historical persons, in the categories 3rd-century births,283 deaths,Married couples,Vestal virgins? There are many such cases of saints who are wholly or partly legendary, I have been trying to re-write some of the articles (such as "Saints Chrysanthus and Daria") to clarify how much, if anything, in these narratives can be considered historical according to reliable sources. I have not meddled with the categories but am uneasy about including these types of semi-fictional "characters" in categories along with actual historical persons. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this matter. Thanks,Smeat75 (talk) 20:18, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Nimetapoeg. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21.
