Removing history-map categories edit

Latest comment: 4 months ago5 comments2 people in discussion

[1] - Hi, what is the rationale behind removing the categories of so many files? --Enyavar (talk) 16:21, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Enyavar. Because I added the category "Maps of the Hittite Empire in the 17th-century BC". What is the problem, I could not understand it. Because this category is a subcategory of "Maps showing 17th-century BC history", I removed them to avoid from overcategorisation. --Gargarapalvin (talk) 17:22, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, and that is appropriate for maps which only show the Hittites. But the maps show the context of the whole region in the respective centuries, instead. The maps also display the Assyrian Empire, the Mittani, the Egyptians, the Minoans, etc. --Enyavar (talk) 19:20, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Then, you can create the same categories for other states shown on these maps. I cannot see any fault in my changes. If that map shows the Hittite Empire in the 17th-century BC, I can categorise it in this way. There are millions of examples for this situation. Any Wikimedia file can be shared by more than 2 similar categories. Solution is creation of, for example, "Maps of the Assyrian Empire in the 17th-century BC category. Sincerely. :) --20:27, 21 December 2023 (UTC) Gargarapalvin (talk) 20:27, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please check out this edit: it's a picture with Kamala Harris, a person who is in Category:Politicians. So I move her from "Politicians" to "Kamala Harris" (to prevent Overcat). However, that action is disregarding all other politicians in the room. Our help page on Overcat is adressing this situation in Commons:Categories#Exception_for_images_with_more_categorized_subjects#this clause, so I hope you're not surprised when I just re-add the categories into the century-maps. --Enyavar (talk) 09:21, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Theatre lobbies edit

Latest comment: 3 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

You recently performed a controversial move of Category:Theater lobbies in the United States by declaring the original title a misspelling. Please don't do that — beyond making it hard to revert the change, you have also tagged the original for speedy deletion rather than making it a category redirect, as would have been appropriate were the move correct. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 03:44, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
