re: RomaniaAh, don't worry, it's not you at all, and nothing so routine as a categorization issue. (What it was, was some unscrupulous Romanian editor was threatening and blackmailing me via e-mail.) I appreciate the concern, but you're fine. K. Lásztocskatalk 01:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Unfortunately I have not the slightest idea what would be best to do about that stub-sorting and categorization. That's really not my forte...sorry! K. Lásztocskatalk 05:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Ookay. This is simply a gut reaction and should be taken with a big pinch of salt (I could probably only name two or three cities in the whole of Romania, so I'm hardly an expert). It seems that Romania's lack of distinction between villages and communes is similar to the one here in New Zealand between townships and settlements. If it is like that (basically just two names for virttually the same thing), then the best thin to do might be to rename all of the "by county" categories to "Communes and villages in X County" and merge any that have been split into a separate village or commune category into it. BTW, it seems that one of the county categories may need a speedy rename anyway - for some reason the Ilfov subcat has a small "c" in county (all the others have a capital "C"). Grutness...wha? 05:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Saudi TemplatesActully this Stubs recognizer help us in Assesment of the articles , the Template:Saudi inlcudes the following code which direct the Talk Page of the article to the right category according to the Class Rate .

 Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Casa Montessori, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Assessment/Categories for WikiProject Central AsiaI am quite worried about screwing up the banner if I try to fix this myself, so I was wondering if you can help. On the WikiProject Central Asia banner on talk pages, the quality ratings (A,B, stub, etc.) don't link to their WPCentralAsia ratings pages, but the general rating pages (for example, clicking on the "NA" on NA articles won't take you to Category:Non-article Central Asia pages, but to Category:NA-Class articles). I have no idea how to fix this on the template. Could you give it a go? Also, I'm confused about the Category rating vs. the NA rating. See Category talk:Kyrgyzstani football clubs and Category talk:Elections in Kazakhstan for examples. Should tags for categories have the former or the latter? The same can be asked for disambig pages and images. The template page says NA is for all of these kinds of articles, yet now separate categories already exist for each of them (John Carter created them - see the subpages of Category:Central Asia articles by quality). I don't believe those classes are included in the code for the template, however. Overall, I know it's not a major deal, but having standard one way or another would be helpful for organizational purposes. Thanks! Otebig (talk) 12:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC) Invite

StubsortingHi, when you are stubsorting could you mark the edits as minor please, you are filling my watchlist too much. If you mark them as minor I can filter your stubsort edits out, Cheers EP 17:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Categorizing FailuresIn your attempts to "clean up" the categories in the language articles I have made you have made a serious error. You have removed the category labels of higher nodes so that there is no reference anymore. You have removed Category:Afro-Asiatic from Somali and left only Category:Cushitic, for example, but then under Cushitic you have REMOVED AFRO-ASIATIC!!!! That means that a subbranch of a family is left stranded without being included in the Category of its next higher node. Be more careful with your "cleaning" or you will remove the value of your "filing system" approach (which, in my humble opinion, masks more than it reveals). Fortunately, someone is cleaning up your "clean up". I didn't notice this at first, but now I will have to go through and rework all your "clean ups". (Taivo (talk) 03:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC))
Hi, My concerns with your edits are the same as those of the editor above. Your edits remove all reference to the next highest branch on the language family tree. For example, on the Semitic language page, that means Afro-Asiatic. Ditto the Berber language page. I tried to put things back the way they were, so that Semitic, Berber, Cushitic, etc. are all categorized again under Afro-Asiatic like they should be. However, I didn't finish the job. Hopefully someone will have already done it, or I'll try and complete it later when I have more time. Causteau (talk) 08:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
To answer your question, I think the above principle should be applied to both the language family pages and to the individual language articles. For instance, the Egyptian Arabic language page ought to be filed under Afro-Asiatic languages->Semitic languages->Central Semitic languages->Arabic languages since that is where it fits in phylogenetically. Luckily, just about all the language pages on Wiki I've seen were already properly categorized by earlier editors, so all we have to do is revert the changes made. Causteau (talk) 00:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC) Greece geo-stubsHi Aelfthrytha (I still have to stop and check the spelling of that!) - you wrote:
Template names, I'd go with WestMacedonia-geo-stub, Ionian-geo-stub, WestGreece-, EastMacedoniaThrace-, but you're right, there are other combinations that would work just as well. The "worms", are the potential can of worms (i.e., problems) with stub types using the word Macedonia - does the Republic of Macedonia also have a region called West Macedonia? If so, we'd need to use something like WestMacedoniaGR-geo-stub (assuming GR is the right code for Greece...). The major problem, though, is that Greece seems to use both Regions and Peripheries, which seem similar to the ceremonial and administrative counties in England. We seem to be using the Peripheries for this split, but I don't think that's ever been formally discussed or decided. Grutness...wha? 00:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You might have noticed, that I am a Bulgarian. The reason I started this topic is that it was very undeveloped. When I saw other wikipedians to do it, I continued my work in other projects. About the capitalisation of the world directions - I was not sure about it, neither about the complex directions-with one word, with dash and so on.

Sorry to bother you, but I've come here because you're listed as someone who can translate Arabic, and we need someone who knows the language. Basically, we've got this article listed at WP:PNT, Hosseinfsf, and we don't know what it means. I've run it through a couple of machine translators but it just gives meaningless words, and I don't know ifs accurate or a bad translation.

The background for this request can be read here. I am preparing for a future discussion about this information at at WP:RSN, and from past experience with foreign-language sources I know that a qualified translation, not merely a machine Google translation, will be requested by the regular reviewers at that noticeboard. Do note also that I have made this request with four other Arabic-to-English translators besides yourself as past experience is that most will not respond to this request, at least not in a timely fashion. Therefore, should you wish to offer yourself to this task, you should inform the other four so that they will know to disregard the request on their talk pages.
