The result of the discussion was: Rename. --MZMcBride (talk) 22:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Wikipedians in Montréal to Category:Wikipedians in Montreal
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Category needs to be renamed to match the common English spelling of main article Montreal, and for that matter, master category Category:Wikipedians in Quebec, neither of which use the accented "é" in the English Wikipedia, per Wikipedia:CANSTYLE#French_names .

We already have Category:X1 for testing purposes.

I fail to see how this category can be used for collaboration. "This category is for Wikipedians who are currently studying for the Irish Leaving Certificate" Too narrow for collaboration, and even if it wasn't too narrow it makes no sense to only categorize students familiar with this.

  • Rename to Category:Wikipedians who contribute to Ek$i Sözlük or delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't really know how it works here, so even as the creator of the category I can not really say that I'm strongly against a delete or a rename, but it is not a user-only category. ie Okan Bayülgen and Murat Arslan are also some of the exposed contributors of the website, and actually I'm pretty sure that there are more of these non-wikipedian-contributors within wikipedia. So I think the question is, whether this is a noteworthy information or not. I would say that it is from a turkish point of view. It's really hard to explain this to a non-turkish-speaking-person, but to give a couple of examples, it's a website where celebrities care a lot about, it's cited quite a lot on the newspaper articles and TV shows, when somebody is starting a research it's one of the first places they look at etc. So it's basically like an undergound wikipedia written in colloquial language, and a large part of contributors see it almost like a secret organization like, say, freemasons :). See it for yourself; go to http://www.websitevaluecalculator.com/ and try both wikipedia.org and sozluk.sourtimes.org, you'll be surprised :) But again, I'm not strongly opposing a rename or a delete, you probably know better how it works here.
