Category:Videos and DVDs

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Merge per nom and delete. It appears that all former content (except four articles) of this category is now in Category:Home video. Ruslik_Zero 12:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Videos and DVDs to Category:Home video
Nominator's rationale: I'm not 100% sure what this category even is, but it appears to be about home video releases. If so, why is it "videos and DVDs"? Videos are a part of what constitutes DVDs--it used to be the "V"--and there are several other home video formats; should this be named Category:Home videos, Betamaxes, Blu-Ray Discs, HD-DVDs, Laser Discs, and VHSes? Alternate proposal: delete as far too vague and broad in scope; thousands of video albums, theatrical films, television series, and documentaries have been released on home video. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:18, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong oppose home videos are home movies made on video (ie. that thing your grandfather had that used 8mm winding film camera that you sent to Kodak for processing) ... like your grandfather's wedding film, this has nothing to do with production video. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 04:48, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom & the Home video article. Timrollpickering (talk) 02:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Videos. These are all videos, no matter what their format. The inclusion of "DVDs" immediate calls up the requirement to list all other formats in a monstrous global category name like Justin describes. I don't like the ambiguity of "Home videos" (I hear that phrase the same way the other commenters do), so I'd just go with Videos as an ubercategory--Mike Selinker (talk) 18:44, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure at all. This category appears to be for "Commercially-produced videos for viewing at home, but not home-made videos, even though they may be DVDs or blueray disc or laserdiscs rather than videotapes". Mike Selinker's suggested rename to videos doesn't include enough of that, and would include youtube videos and other such stuff wot people cannot carry home. Is there are any way of tersely summarising the description I wrote above? Or should we just conclude that that since video exists in so many difft formats, there is no point in distinguishing between those wot come in a retail box and those delivered down a pipe. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:27, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm leaning towards rename to Category:Videos. From the contents of the category, these pages seem to be grouped together simply through the format they were released in, while others are completely in the wrong place. For example, the Behind the Player series were all released as "interactive music videos" (whatever the hell that is), which were released in DVD format; Coming Alive in a documentary, a live video album and a full-length CD which released in, you guessed it, DVD format. The subcategories aren't any better: there's Category:Looney Tunes DVDs and Category:Stand-up comedy on DVD (seems like anything released under VHS or Blu-ray Disc format is not worthy), as well as Category:Disney videos and DVDs and Category:Television videos and DVDs (poor little Blu-ray Discs, they're being bullied by the category system). Renaming just seems the way to go. If there need be a Category:Videos by type category, then so be it. — ξxplicit 00:05, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom - Per our home video article, "Home video is a blanket term used for pre-recorded media that is either sold or hired for home entertainment" (my emphasis). On the other hand, a home movie is "a motion picture made by amateurs, often for viewing by family and friends". cmadler (talk) 18:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I think we are getting confused here because of differences in English usage. In the UK and possibly elsewhere Home Video is a term used for amateur videos, it was not until I read the the Home video article that I found that in the USA it seems to be used for commercial videos made for home entertainment. Malcolma (talk) 10:51, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've been speaking American English my entire life, and I had no idea "home video" meant anything in the commercial realm. And searching for "home video" on Google doesn't suggest it's a category that American consumer culture recognizes. Could this be a neologism on Wikipedia? If so, the head article should probably change as well.--Mike Selinker (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I was well and truly misled by the Home video article. On the basis of that if nothing else I would not like to see the category renamed to Home video as it would be replacing one misleading title with another. It seems to me, but I'm guessing again, is that the intention of Category:Videos and DVDs is to list articles about commercial video releases as we do for albums. There is existing Category:Music videos and Category:Video albums but I can't find anything that would cater for example for comedy video releases. The trouble is, I can't think of an accurate title to rename Category:Videos and DVDs to. Category:Video already exists but correctly covers the wider field of video.Malcolma (talk) 08:52, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • do it Why do some editors still get confused? Hmains (talk) 01:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose; reverse merge. "Why" indeed do they get confused? "Emigrants" is more correct. We have an adjective here--"Irish". "Irish" must modify a noun. To be grammartically sound, the adjective and the noun must refer to the same thing or at least have their root in the same idea, without mixing and matching concepts. The person is Irish (adj) and is leaving Ireland (noun), thus "Irish emigrants" is correct. The "to Australia" is tacked onto this phrase to further modify the adjective-noun combo of "Irish emigrants". True, we can (correctly) say "immigrants to Australia", but then once we add an adjective to it, "Irish" would become a dreaded "dangling adjective"--it would modify "immigrants", but here we want the adjective and the noun to correspond. Yes, I realise "immigrants" is widely used in these categories; I believe it is a widespread mistake. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:36, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So, are you suggesting that every similar category (there are hundreds of them!) should be renamed? Or are you suggesting that for pedantic reasons (and I don't actually agree with you, but for the sake of argument) only this category should be so named? -- Necrothesp (talk) 19:14, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Every single one. I've thought about nominating them all to change, but I haven't been confident enough in success to put in all the work yet. (I know at least User:BrownHairedGirl has mooted such a change too.) Your disagreement confirms my suspicions that such a proposal might not succeed because of a widespread misunderstanding (or a different interpretation) of the grammatical issues involved. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think either naming structure is problematic. Perhaps a compromise solution can be found, like Category:Irish migrants to Australia, or Category:Migration from Ireland to Australia? Robofish (talk) 12:12, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Foreign-language newspapers published in the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Rename to Category:Non-English newspapers published in the United States. Category:Non-English-language newspapers published in the United States (I agree, that 'language' is an essential word here, --Soman (talk) 03:11, 6 September 2010 (UTC)) 'Foreign' is a complicated term in Wikipedia context, and particularily so regarding the USA. By the logic 'non-English' = 'foreign', a Navajo language newspaper would be classified as 'foreign'. Soman (talk) 21:29, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would question putting Navajo-language newspapers in the category for precisely the reason that they aren't foreign. Likewise, establishing "non-English" as the determining feature implies that English is the de facto national language, because otherwise one categorization could not be substituted for the other. Mangoe (talk) 18:44, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Is Spanish a foreign language? It has official status in parts of the US, and in some states Spanish was spoken before English. --Soman (talk) 19:20, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: No consensus. I think a general discussion on how to name ports is warranted. Ruslik_Zero 19:04, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Port cities and towns by country to Category:Port settlements by country
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Continue moving categories to various forms of populated places and settlements as appropriate. Category:Port settlements by country matchs the parent category for these, Category:Port settlements. Also cities and towns is misleading since if we use this name, we are forced to include villages, settlements, hamlets and communes. Better to move to the broader and more inclusive name. Port settlements is already in use for many of the child categories. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:46, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • rename per well-reasoned nom. Confirmed that many of the child categories are named 'settlements'; the rest should be renamed to 'settlements' also for the same reasons provided here. Trying to rename them to 'Port populated areas in foo' would just be too weird in English. Hmains (talk) 01:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Municipalities of Romania to Category:Cities in Romania
Nominator's rationale: This was recently renamed following a discussion here. I don't know why I wasn't informed or didn't notice the discussion, but the decision was applied clearly without consensus, and with no rational reason. These things are not municipalities (at least, they are, but other towns and communes are just as much municipalities as they are, so applying that title to this category is highly misleading). The only reasoning behind calling them municipalities is that the equivalent Romanian term for "city" (in the sense of larger/more important town) is "municipiu", and that word looks a bit like "municipality", or - as it was expressed in the only argument for this category name in the discussion - it's the "obvious anglicization". Well, obvious it may be, but wrong - if as a translator you adopted a policy of considering words equivalent on the basis of the first seven letters being the same, you wouldn't be very successful. Please put this back to the English name - this is a category of cities, nothing else. Or if you don't think cities is sufficiently strictly equivalent to municipii, then use the Romanian name.--Kotniski (talk) 11:02, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"Cities" is only a rough term anyway, when applied to countries which don't officially designate places using such English terms. IMO Romania's "municipiu/oras" distinction is so close to the "city/town" distinction as to justify using these names for the categories (to aid readers' understanding, since the Romanian terms are not widely familiar), but calling the former set "municipalities" is doomed to cause readers' misunderstanding, since "municipality" doesn't mean that.--Kotniski (talk) 06:19, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(Sorry, just changed the nomination to "in" rather than "of", to match the other "Cities in ..." categories.)--Kotniski (talk) 13:31, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't "keep/delete" - but please stop this "obvious anglicization" nonsense. Municipalities is an English word, it means something, it doesn't mean what municipui means, not even close. The previous decision was an obvious error that simply needs correcting. Either to cities, or to the Romanian term municipii. If we go for populated places, then it's not just a rename, but a merging of several categories. Closing admin: please try to understand the situation here and ignore proposals that don't make logical sense - Wikipedia shouldn't be damaged in this way.--Kotniski (talk) 06:44, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. As I remarked thousand times before, WP should aim at being more professional, not "we-put-everything-into-one-giant-incorrectly-named-category" type of encyclopedia. - Darwinek (talk) 11:46, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I don't like the use of the term "cities" as it seems to be a bit of an Americanisation, where almost any settlement of any size can be regarded as a city. In most countries only very large towns or those specifically granted the status (usually for historical and/or religious reasons) are regarded as cities. Most of the places in this category would be regarded as towns in countries outside the USA. If "municipiu" implies something specific in Romania, then that's the term we should use, as anything else will be a poor translation and not what the term really means. This is the danger of the mania of some editors for Anglicising everything on Wikipedia - it very often doesn't work and is thoroughly inaccurate. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:20, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - there isn't an exact translation either of municipiu or of oraş (Category:Towns in Romania), but this is close enough. We can then specify on the category page that we are referring to municipii, in order to resolve ambiguity.
    There's some confusion here as to what the term implies, and since I know Romanian, I'll try to clear it up. There is a law that states each municipiu must have 25,000 inhabitants and meet other criteria (85% of residents should be involved in non-agricultural occupations, 80% of houses should have running water, etc). The law isn't strictly followed - Beiuş, the smallest municipiu, has 12,000 people, while Baia Sprie is an oraş of 16,000 - but most of these are larger than the oraşe, which need only have 5,000 (again, not strictly applied: Băile Tuşnad, the smallest oraş, has just 1,800).
    Now, it's true that a place with 12,000 people would probably not be called a "city" in an English-speaking country. (Indeed this would be the case in colloquial Romanian too: we never use municipiu in conversation; we'd call a big city, even the capital, an oraş, and a smaller city or town by the diminutive orăşel). But on average, the municipii are bigger, and the city/town distinction seems a useful way of distinguishing the two for our category system.
    If someone has any questions I might be able to help with, please let me know. - Biruitorul Talk 01:34, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this always seems to be as close to the city/town distinction (e.g. in the UK) as could be hoped for in any non-English-speaking country. In fact, if people don't want to call these categories "cities" and "towns", then I would make one "Cities and towns in Romania" category (as is done for many other countries where there is no clear distinction), put all the municipii and orase into that, and then have a municipii category as a distinguished (non-diffusing, or whatever terminology we settled on) subcategory of that. Then at least the main category will be named in a way that will be clear to all readers.--Kotniski (talk) 07:29, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support Kotniski's proposal above. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:36, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so - the renaming being proposed there doesn't really make sense (see my comment there), and it would make even less sense here (where we have two separate city/town categories already).--Kotniski (talk) 07:41, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can we move towards closing this then? There seem to be two possible solutions:

  1. Simply rename this category back to Category:Cities in Romania
  2. Merge this category with Category:Towns in Romania to form a category called Category:Cities and towns in Romania, and create a new Category:Municipii of Romania (of -> in??) as a distinguished (non-diffusing) subcategory of it.

Preferences? Mine is for option 1 as the simpler, but 2 would be OK too.--Kotniski (talk) 08:38, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm for option 1: simpler, neater, and no need to use a Romanian word when there's a perfectly good English approximation available. - Biruitorul Talk 16:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The key word here is "approximation"! Why use an approximation when there's a perfectly good Romanian word which exactly describes what these places are? There's far too much forced Anglicisation on Wikipedia (and I'm English!). Clearly I'm for option 2. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:05, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This is the English Wikipedia, we don't write in Arabic, Turkish, German or Roumanian. "Municipalities" in this context is affirmatively misleading. Other solutions might be better, but this has gone on so long that lets return to the former status quo ("Cities"), and propose such "better solutions" if such there be. --Bejnar (talk) 22:18, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Intuitionism (deductive) to Category:Intuitionism
Nominator's rationale: Per main article —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:54, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I did create that "Intuitionism" category separate for a reason, even though currently it is not very developed. I expect that it will be a similar situation to "formalism." I think it is a idea to keep these type of things close but separate. Greg Bard (talk) 18:14, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Violates WP:USERCAT as the category does not aid in facilitating coordination and collaboration between users for the improvement and development of Wikipedia. The content can be saved on a user subpage. — ξxplicit 03:32, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: reverse merge. — ξxplicit 06:30, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge Category:Field hockey at the Commonwealth Games into existing category Category:Hockey at the Commonwealth Games, which contains most of the applicable articles. Title “Hockey .. etc is unambiguous, as Ice Hockey or Indoor Hockey are not Commonwealth Games sports, although the Olympics uses the category name: Category:Field hockey at the Olympics.

Category:Ben Cardin (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category with only 3 articles concerning a U.S. Senator that is unlikely to grow. Cardin was elected in 2006 and lacks any significantly notable accomplishments during his time in the Senate. TM 01:24, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
