Coat of arms of the Northwest Territories

I noticed that you added [[Category:Coats of arms with compass roses|Northwest Territories]] to Coat of arms of the Northwest Territories. The category does not exist and that article is the only one in the category. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:11, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Rape category reasoning

I don't think this March discussion was given a fair shot. Just because a category is deleted before does not mean that it can never ever be created. Particularly since you closed the first one in February, I think it should be given consideration by others.

You said in the first case that the result of the discussion was "delete", but that is simply not true. Consensus was not achieved. SFB and I were still arguing against it. These discussions are not merely votes, so simply because more people said delete than keep was no reason to delete the category.

While I do agree that choosing to rape is more defining of a character's personality than being raped, it is still a significant factor that can shape characters. This is not "characters who have tripped" or "characters who caught a cold", after all. It is about something which receives a lot of focus and drama in real life and fiction. Ranze (talk) 04:42, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

I don't see any substantive difference between the two categories, and the previous discussion was very recent. I don't understand why both were created around the same time. I could understand one, but why two? (Apparently they co-existed at the same time in December 2014.) I stand by the finding of a "delete" consensus in the first discussion. You might be confusing consensus with unanimity--just because users continue to dispute something doesn't mean that a consensus based on guidelines has not emerged. If you want to take the case to WP:DRV for a review, you're welcome to. In fact, given the weirdness of the circumstances, it would probably be a good idea.

not sure of the latin

there has to be a damned good latin phrase re christmas island. satusuro 00:37, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

I really don't get this.

Your edit here[1] to Categories for discussion/Working which requested that Category:Houston Aeros seasons be moved to Category:Houston Aeros (1994–2013) seasons when the contents of the former category were all WHA team seasons from the 1970s. There are no season articles on the 94-2013 Aeros, since they are a minor league team. The teams are totally different and even the descriptions read so. I have recreated the original category and fixed all the links plus Nominated for speedy deletion the Houston Aeros (1994–2013) seasons category....William 01:16, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

I wasn't involved in making or justifying the nomination—I simply processed it by adding it to WP:CFDW. It's likely that someone misunderstood because things were miscategorized. The Category:Houston Aeros seasons category was a subcategory of Category:Houston Aeros. The former must have had articles about the 1970s seasons, but the latter was about the 1994–2013 team.

Kidnapping

I see you removed the kidnappers and the kidnapped people from the Category:Kidnapping by country categories which were intended to be a topic category. Specific instances of kidnappings were in Category:Kidnappings by country (note the 's'). I notice you did the same thing to murderers a few years ago [2]. This seems very pedantic and hinders navigation between related subjects. Tim! (talk) 18:09, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

It represents a confusion between the location of a crime and the nationality of the victim and/or perpetrator. I don't find that pedantic at all. For an American who is kidnapped in Iraq to be in Category:Kidnapping in the United States strikes me as quite strange. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 01:13, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Category:American criminals is a subcategory of Category:Crime in the United States, Category:American arsonists is in Category:Arson in the United States and Category:American fraudsters is in Category:Fraud in the United States... Tim! (talk) 05:33, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I'm not convinced that those are appropriate parent–child relationships either. If one wants to create a link between a nationality of perpetrator category and a location of crime category, it would seem to me more appropriate to use {{Category see also}}.

State of Florida v. George Zimmerman

There was no consensus to shorten the title in previous two RMs. Your bold renaming was reverted. Please create a third RM before you rename it again. --George Ho (talk) 09:07, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Renaming seems like a no-brainer, once one considers the relevant naming convention. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 09:36, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Finding constancy in naming of "Apostle" position

I have opened a discussion at List of members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles (LDS Church) in order to find some constancy in naming. Before I accidentally impose my personal view, it would nice to have a real consensus of proper naming of "Apostle". Any input by you, as a frequent Latter Day Saint articles would be nice.--- ARTEST4ECHO^(Talk)

FYI: Re-creating previously deleted category for Australians of African-American descent

Just an FYI: I'm aware that Category:Australian people of African-American descent has been previously deleted. Just wanted to let you know that since there are now several individuals who fit into that category, I'm preparing to resurrect it.

Since the definition of the parent Category:People of African-American descent includes African Americans who emigrated to other countries, plus their descendants, there are at least five former or current basketball players who fit as "Australian people of African-American descent" (I'm sure there are more:

Cal Bruton, Cecil Exum, Ricky Grace, Dave Simmons: African Americans who emigrated to Australia.
C. J. Bruton, Dante Exum, Ben Simmons: Australia-born sons of African Americans (in fact, these three are the sons of players listed above).

If there's no objection, either of us can bring it back. — Dale Arnett (talk) 04:12, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

It wasn't deleted on the grounds that there were no articles that could go in the category. See the deletion discussion here. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 04:27, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Category:<state name> Anti-Masonics

Hi there. Would you care to weigh in at Category talk:Anti-Masonic Party politicians regarding the subcategories you created? —Phleg1 (talk) 08:06, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
