Category:Historical Markers edit

Is there any reason at all that this isn't Category:Historical markers? I notice that there is exactly one item in the latter, which is not hooked into the category tree, but it's the one that follows our naming rules. Can we just get a bot on this? - Jmabel | talk 19:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've added a move templates (pointing here) to it and the similarly named subcategories. /Lokal_Profil 15:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Seeing no objection, I've made a request at Commons:Bots/Requests#Three categories to move. - Jmabel | talk 05:55, 16 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Which is apparently the wrong place to ask for this. They sent me to User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands. Is there some central place to get a list of where one makes requests for various administrative actions? - Jmabel | talk 02:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have some additional requests for cat renames based on this request. If this is a clear reason for the capitalisation that is currently used, please explain why. Siebrand 07:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rename Category:State Historic Sites of the United States to Category:Historic sites of states of the United States (0 entries moved, 0 to go) Warning: Please add a reason. Warning: Username of requester missing (user parameter). For transparency and to prevent abuse, please add your username.
My proposals:
1. Category:National historic sites of Canada (designations by Minister of the Environment (Canada))
2. Category:History of Schleswig-Holstein (not only historic sites)
3. Category:National historic sites of the United States (designations by National Register of Historic Places, Federal government of the United States)
4. Please, clean this category, since most pictures have to be categorized only in Category:Poplar Forest. After this operation, I'll consider the deletion of the category. --Juiced lemon 11:15, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
National Historic Sites is a proper noun, at least in the US. I can't speak for other countries. So I'd leave it capitalized. ++Lar: t/c 12:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
2 of my proposals are grounded on the spelling of List of national historic sites of Canada. A proper name usually point to an unique entity. Plural for proper names is odd, in my opinion. In the other hand, you can still have plural in a proper name, like National Register of Historic Places, but it is an unique organization. --Juiced lemon 15:12, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
The first three will be moved now. Please rephrase what you like done to the fourth. I'm not sure I understand. Cheers! Siebrand 07:27, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Poplar Forest is a “Registered Historic Place”, and is located in Virginia. “Registered Historic Place” is an United States label which is granted by National Register of Historic Places.
In my opinion, State Historic Sites of the United States is a wrong category name, because you can interpret it as a category for historical sites registered by a state institution. I didn't find such state institutions. Since this category is an erroneous concept, it's useless to rename it unless we can find an appropriate subject.
According to the contents, the more appropriate subject is Category:Poplar Forest. So, remove the Poplar Forest pictures which are already categorized in Category:Poplar Forest, and move the others. --Juiced lemon 09:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ah, OK, I understand.   Done. Cheers! P.s. please take a look at the cats to be renamed in the topic at the bottom of this page. Siebrand 10:34, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Only include close up views of historical markers edit

I recommend this category only include images with close-up views of historical markers where the information on the marker is visible enough to read the information on it. I do not recommend including images in this category with historical markers in the background or in the distance where the marker is far enough away that you can’t actually read the information, such as in File:Edward Lee McClain High School.jpg.
