Only way to refresh Wikidata

Not exactly. You can simply activate "Page Purge" from Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets and refresh Wikidata without making dummy edits. "UTCLiveClock" from the same page has the same effect. You can click on the clock to purge the page. I use this clock myself. 4nn1l2 (talk) 16:39, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Khosrowgerd Tower

Do you know the difference between میل خسروگرد and مناره خسروگرد? They seem to refer to the same monument, but have been registered with different numbers on the same day (15 Dey 1310). They are the first and the second row in this list: fa:فهرست آثار ملی شهرستان سبزوار. When I was working on this list, I couldn't solve this problem.

Category:Categories of Indonesia by year

I don't think categories like Category:Sulawesi by year are a category of Indonesia by year. If it was Islands of Indonesia by year, that makes sense but each island within Indonesia (or each province or city) isn't a category of Indonesia by year, it's a categorization of the islands/provinces/cities using Indonesia by year. Even then, moving every category into the categories of Indonesia by year so that nothing is within Indonesia by year isn't the way I've seen most countries organized. Don't you think categories like Category:Cities in Indonesia by year belong in both the categories of Indonesia by year and Indonesia by year? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:40, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

@Ricky81682: take a look at examples like Germany, Italy, Iran, Russia, India... all countries with hundreds of years, plus some 50-120 subcategories in their particular Categories of [country] by year. Does it make sense to put some subcategory into a main category, which can be found by clicking four-five times at "next page"? Or put hundred of them at the beginning, despite main category is intended for years? IMHO not much. You're right when you say "most countries" aren't organized on that way, because most countries have poor history so all their years & subcategories look fine into one page (<200), but the same system for above mentioned five countries would be a messy nightmare. Considering Indonesia has hundreds of years and tens of subcategories, my suggestion is to keep current organization, means:

• Indonesia by year: just years, and container cat for subcategories at the beginning. Nothing else.
• Categories of Indonesia by year: a container cat with various subcategories, all which have "(...) Indonesia (...) by year (...)" in title.
• Indonesia by year by topic: a "by-by" cat, at the beginning of container cat (space key).
• Cities in Indonesia by year: this category, as well as some other more important categories like provinces or islands (comparing to postcards and etc), could also go at the beginning under "*" or "+" keys (see Germany). --Orijentolog (talk) 07:12, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Please do not edit war

---

You currently appear to be participating in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, and once it is known that there is a disagreement should discuss the issues on the relevant talk page rather than repeatedly undoing other users’ contributions. If necessary you can ask for more input at Commons:Dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to ask for temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing – even if you are right about the content issue.

@A.Savin: sure, finally that some admin noticed the issue. --Orijentolog (talk) 01:02, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

So you do understand that your actions are wrong and lack consensus? GPinkerton (talk) 01:03, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Don't switch the story here, I'm not one who removed tag while consensus isn't reached. Not to mention persistent insults and accusations. --Orijentolog (talk) 01:05, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Get the story straight: you baselessly removed appropriate categories, claimed you had some kind of justification for doing so, and then relentlessly edit warred to get your POV vandalism inserted while at the same time wrongly accusing all and sundry of vandalism. Let's not pretend your actions constituted anything but a net-negative for the project and quite forbidden by policy. GPinkerton (talk) 01:11, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Categories weren't appropriate as I explained on talk page, therefore I put the proper tag, and you desperately wanted to remove it, as well as to delete whole discussion. I wonder why. --Orijentolog (talk) 01:15, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm sorry? Desperation? What was your furious edit war all about if not desperation to suit your unsustainable POV? Really, trying to argue a map labelled "Kurdistan" does not depict Kurdistan is pure tendentiousness, no-one is going to agree to that, and your explanations explaining your POV to your own satisfaction are no justification for your vandalism and dedicated edit warring. I remind you that you were claiming the map only belonged in categories relating to Egypt, when anyone with eyes can see the map shows areas well beyond Egypt. If you still think that's a reasonable position for you to take, your need to have a big rethink about your priorities. GPinkerton (talk) 01:42, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm not one who started reverting without discussion, it's pretty clear from history. I'm the one who put tags and opened objections on talk page, and you tried to remove both. Facts are clear. Maps does not depict Kurdistan nor Kurdish inhabited regions, as I already explained, it represents only a nationalist fantasy of few mythomaniacs based in Egypt. Therefore 1946 (works) in Egypt category, which you removed. That's vandalism per se. --Orijentolog (talk) 02:05, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm not one who started reverting without discussion, it's pretty clear from history. Well this is a straight lie. You made this edit, which is textbook vandalism: replacing an appropriate category with a unhelpful one that suits (apparently) your POV but which is useless to Commons and impedes navigation, as well as being flatly incorrect (are you claiming the areas in Iran inhabited by Kurds are somehow not visible on this map? This is clearly false). I reverted your vandalism. Then without any discussion you edit war it back in with this edit which did not even attempt to justify your repletion of your vandalism. So your claim is false. I'm the one who put tags and opened objections on talk page, and you tried to remove both. You added unsuitable tags while seeking to push your POV by edit warring over categories and vandalizing the existing categories. Lets not try to beautify your actions with falsehoods, shall we? Facts are clear. Maps does not depict Kurdistan nor Kurdish inhabited regions, as I already explained, it represents only a nationalist fantasy of few mythomaniacs based in Egypt. You have have been informed multiple times that this contorted and illogical expression of POV does not justify your editwarring. The notion that a rational human is going to accept your claims that a map of Kurdistan (labelled as such and described as such in multiple reliable sources) somehow is in fact a map of somewhere else is just too absurd to contemplate! It is also interesting to note that you are making false claims about history itself. Where did you read who produced this anonymous map, and how did you get the idea that anyone is going to accept your speculative (mis-)characterization of them a "mythomaniacs"? Where, furthermore, did you get the idea that any of this is relevant? A map showing Kurdistan, whatever faults you happen to perceive in it, belongs in appropriate categories, and should not be miscategorized in the way that you have repeatedly sought to do. Now having read this you should fully understand the facts of the matter, and you should the more clearly see how what you have done is wrong. Because you now understand that your position is untenable, I expect to hear no further objections and tendentious claims from you regarding this matter. GPinkerton (talk) 02:28, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Anyone with eyes can compare that fantasy map with realistic CIA map or Library of Congress' map and notice that it's borders of marked areas are few hundred kilometers incorrect. So who do you try to manipulate here? --Orijentolog (talk) 02:56, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Persian rugs and carpets

I want to make something more - to make "Persian rugs and carpets" empty category, and only a redirection to "Rugs and carpets of Iran". Because now we have duplicate categories. Obviously, it will take some time, and it will be some mess for a time (I can't do this in one day). But it is already a mess. A lot of mess in fact. Yea, so I want an order, and for this I can't have two categories about the same topic.--Nous (talk) 12:25, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

I think that "Rugs and carpets of Iran" has much more logical order and much more sense than "Persian rugs and carpets". First of all, it is a logical part of category "Rugs and carpets by country". Second, for example, it has logically arranged subcategories, like "Rugs and carpets of Iran by city" or "Rugs and carpets of Iran by dynastic period". Nothing so fancy in "Persian rugs and carpets", which usually double down on "Rugs and carpets of Iran" in ugly manner and is a total mess. If you build "Rugs and carpets of Iran" (I don't check it), all thanks to you. I want it to be sole category in this topic. Can I hope that you agree in this matter?--Nous (talk) 12:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

So maybe (just maybe) Persian carpets, as something discerned on stylistic grounds, are more wider category than Carpets from Iran. If that is so, than "Rugs and carpets of Iran" should be subcategory of "Persian rugs and carpets", not other way around. For this moment I will concentrate on individual carpets, and don't try to do antything with order between categories themselves. However, I think that we must do something, beacause it is a mess, as we both agree. And to other topic - yes, for me editions of User:Sefer azeri are also very problematic. P.S. This "Hunting Carpet" form Museo Poldi Pezzoli is really amazing:) Have a nice day (or evening:)--Nous (talk) 17:52, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Dear @Orijentolog: I know this is one of the most difficult work and it will take time but you are an experienced user im impressed with your work i believe you can do it, first please make map of Pakistan-Afghanistan border and then try for Pakistan's border with india and china.

I'm requesting you because there is no border map of Pakistan available with Afghanistan, India & China on whole wikipedia. 103.141.159.224 00:58, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

@Orijentolog: bro please at least make one border map, of Pakistan Afganistan border,

At least you should start the map, i believe other experienced editors will improve it. 103.141.159.224 19:07, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Category:Architecture of Italy by style by century

Hi Orientolog. Please, categories they have a double "by" must have both metacat. Thank you. DenghiùComm (talk) 23:38, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

@DenghiùComm: nope, only the last one. Both should be only in the case if title includes something like "style and period", "style or period." I was previously inserting multiply criterion, which was a mistake, understood from conversation with Auntof6. --Orijentolog (talk) 23:42, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Please. These are double categories ! These arte not simple categories ! --DenghiùComm (talk) 23:44, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

@DenghiùComm: That's precisely what I was thinking at first, so I repeated mistake tens (if not hundreds) of times! If you don't believe see my conversation with Auntof6, you can ask her. --Orijentolog (talk) 23:46, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

@DenghiùComm: to simply: if something ends with "...by country" it should have listed only countries, if something ends with "...by century" it should have listed only centuries, and so on. That means that everything before is irrelevant for flat lists. Regarding my mistakes, you can see for example Bridges by function by type by material by country where I was adding all four criteria.

Categories of Italy by style

Hi Orijentolog. Please don't create categories for Italy BY STYLE. All art and architecture categories of Italy are organized BY PERIOD not by style. We cannot create again the terrible mess of Style an Period that we solved many years ago choising By Period. For Italy many users choised Period not Style, and all categories by style was changed in By period. Now it will be necessary to correct all this new categories with this bad name. Best regards, DenghiùComm (talk) 22:50, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

@DenghiùComm: which one?? I remembered that I was opening many architectural elements in Italy during past few weeks, but all have by period (check yourself under "*": Architectural elements in Italy by period). --Orijentolog (talk) 22:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

@DenghiùComm: for example see histories of arhces, fountains, stairs, and so on. --Orijentolog (talk) 22:58, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

You crate the most part of these categories in Category:Categories of Italy by style, and the over category too. --DenghiùComm (talk) 23:02, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

@DenghiùComm: wroooong! :) Most of these categories have already existed, like Chapels in Italy by style, Churches in Italy by style, Architects from Italy by style, Bridges in Italy by style, Towers in Italy by architectural style, Architecture of Italy by style... check histories! Others opened it, not me. Exceptions are "substyles" and more complicated categories (with "by-by") which are better with style because of template interconnection with other countries. We're speaking about very few categories, perhaps six of them. And there won't be more. --Orijentolog (talk) 23:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

I'll explain you the situation. Italy has a long history and a great density of civilisations, architectures and art. In art we have styles which can also be periods (e.g. Greek, Renaissance, Baroque, etc.) but we also have periods which are not styles (e.g. Prehistory, Middle Ages). Since in Italy art ranges from Prehistory to Contemporary art, many years ago it was decided to use "by period" and not "by style" for all architectural and artistic categories in Italy. So all the category names "by style" have changed. In Commons there are countries that have not done this work and have a terrible confusion in their categories, where half of the categories are categorized "by style" and the missing ones are found "by period". Or subjects are given both "by style" and "by period" categories creating unnecessary duplication and redundancy. It is not important that all countries are uniform among themselves, the important thing is that there is coherence within the same nation. If the USA is organized "by style" this may be good for the USA, certainly not for Italy. They are two states that have a completely different historical and artistic situation. DenghiùComm (talk) 23:35, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

@DenghiùComm: amico, no need that you spent your precious time for explanation, I know all very well. :) For the very same reason I personally picked up by dynastic period for 77 different Iran-related architectural and artistic categories. Using either style or only period would be wrong or ambiguous. And again there are very few exceptions like Architecture of Iran by style which must stands. Anyway, keep in mind that I put all Iranian and Italian categories with period on my watchlist, so you can sleep easily - because if anyone tries to change it I'll stop it. :) --Orijentolog (talk) 23:50, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

For Italy, the only tolerated "by style" category was the architectural one of contemporary styles Category:Architecture of Italy by style. In the next few days I will try to fix the wrong category names. Good night. DenghiùComm (talk) 00:05, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi dear Orijentolog. First of all, thank you for your efforts . Per Commons:File renaming#Which files should be renamed? We cannot rename any file with any unacceptable reasons! Why u renamed File:Kapar Houses-Iran, Sistan va balochestan خانه های کپری، منطقه سیستان و بلوچستان و جنوب کرمان to File:Unidentified place in southeastern Iran ? The subject of this photo is Capri houses in Iran, but you have focused on the place where the photo was taken! If the location of the photo is very important to you, you can ask Mostafameraji to write coordinates and details on the discussion page.--Mehdi^Talk 06:08, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

@Mehdi: well, there are multiply issues with that series: all photos are taken from the same place, while they illustrate various places in Kerman Province and Sistan and Baluchestan Province, also coords give wrong locations. The previous titles also focused on locations, claiming both provinces in Persian, and the latter one in English. If I leave it under Unidentified locations in Iran with old names, some editor may conclude it's from Sistan and Baluchestan, and that could be wrong (they may be from Kerman Province). So it's better on this way, please remember it's only temporary solution, when I find precise location (with Mostafameraji' help or without), I'll rename it again. Not a big deal. :) --Orijentolog (talk) 00:31, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Periodes and centuries in Art of Iran

It is as you say, but I took a different approach. So, for example, there is no doubt that 17-century art from Iran is Safavid art, therefore I put 17th-century manuscripts from Iran in category safavid manuscripts. So it is not only ceramics. Of course, I didn't do such things with, for example, 18th century, for reasons that you presented in my discussion. So after your reverses there is no consistency in categorization. I will not reverse you, after all, I don't think that this little chaos is such a big deal. But I inform you.

Art in Iran is "art by country of location"

You put all my categories of "Art of Iran" by century in "Art in Rran" by century categories. I want to remind you, that "Art in" i s by definition category of "art by country of location". What you did means that things like, lets say, 17th-century Persian miniature, now in Metropolitan Museum (which I put in category "17th-century art of iran") is now both in category "17th-century art in Iran" and "17th-century art in United States". So, according to you, it is both in United States and Iran, at the same time. That's the first thing. Second, in fact more important, is that you did all of this, something that change the sense of all my work in categorization of iranian art, without any consultation with me. In other words, you treat wikipedia like your private property. But, as you well know (although you forget it sometimes) it is not your private property. It is communal propety. I stopped editing wikimedia, because after your changes I don't see too much sense in my work, when you can single handedly reverse it anytime, without even a word to me. I'm not too good in fighting, edit wars, and all this bullshit. But still, I decided to write to you. Think about all this. I hope that you revert your editions.--Nous (talk) 17:36, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Ok, now that you explain it to me, I see that you were right. Maybe it is oversimplification, but I think that my problem was that I didn't see the bigger picture, namely, I wanted to do something very rational and very "correct" with categories about "Art of Iran", "Art from Iran" etc., but I didn't see that the problem is not only about "Art of Iran" etc., but about Art of "put here what you want" etc. And I didn't see it, because I work in wikimedia for relatively short time period, and I don't know the history. Apologies for too big words. But at the and, I still think that there is a problem, because we have categories like "art from", which belongs to category "Art by country of origin", and if we want to understand "Art in" by your way, there is a problem, because it becomes someway misleading, or at least it is difficult to see the difference. But now I understand that there is no simple solution - to solve this problem, we need to have consensus about all categories like "Art in", "Art from", "Art of", not only about "Art of Iran" etc. That's why we've got to live with what we've got, namely your compromise. It is not perfect, but it is good for the moment. Again, sorry for too big words sometimes, and thank you for explanation.--Nous (talk) 15:17, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
