Hey BHG. Hope you're well. I'm reaching out to people who have edited [[South Wales East (Senedd Cymru electoral region)] and, in particular, people who know how to edit the table of list members. The Conservative Senedd member Mohammed Asghar has died and having tried to just enter "Vacant" underneath his name, I've got lost in a mathematical haze of rowspan=x rowspan=z rowspan=q confusion. I just can't for the life of me work out which rowspans and column spans and other numbers I have to increase by 1 to add the word "vacant" underneath his name. Could you either help or do this for me please? I had the same problems with European Parliament regions, I just get brain freeze whenever I try to work out what to do with rowspan numbers and I'm too scared to just go ahead and wish for the best!

Hi BHG, I hope that you're well - don't think we've interacted before. I edit in the anatomy and peer review spaces. As part of my biannual cleanup of peer review I've been trawling through the categories associated with peer review. I have seen you at categories for deletion and would like to ask for your opinion about the contents of this category: Category:WikiProject_peer_reviews. I can't find a single Wikiproject there which has open peer reviews. I opened ten randomly and the most recent review I found on any was in 2012. In fact most of them link to pages that may or may not have been edited (c.f. Wikipedia:WikiProject Zimbabwe/Peer review).
I feel they should be deleted because (1) they are unused and clutter WikiProjects (2) if they become reused they may waste or soak up lots of time when we have a fine and up-to-date and slightly more viewed project already, and (3) they encourage WP ownership of reviews which is a no-no. Also, (4) I think overall it's better if we can just have a single way to do this, which can be maintained centrally and is easier for editors to learn how to use.
I wanted to ask your advice before putting these up for nomination because (1) I want to see if you think this is a reasonable request and the category has lots of associated pages, associated with Wikiprojects, and (2) I'm not sure about how I should go about this discussion. If I do this in the wrong way it will end up devolving into people commenting about how it was filed wrong, needed notifications, isn't possible for logistical reasons etc.; my goal would be to somehow post the discussion in a place and manner where a discussion on its merits can occur.

Manimajra was renamed as sector 13 legally by UT government of Chandigarh in January 2020 and by February 2020 the new name was finally declared to be written everywhere on papers. Below are links to the decision:- 1). https://m.timesofindia.com/city/chandigarh/manimajra-to-be-renamed-sector-13-residents-elated/amp_articleshow/73114749.cms .
Being a Indian resident, i would like to contribute to this new law which was passed by our government .
It is true that the proposal had been initially opposed in december 2019. In the initial proposal, names like Sector M or Sector 26 east were proposed. Here is the link for initial proposals made :-

But soon the final decision was made which overruled the previous proposals and finally the new name for manimajra was concluded as sector 13 by the beginning of 2020. The next link (6th Link) was also published in Tribune India with the final decision which was declared in February 2020 :-

I strongly object to renaming categories for disambiguated genera. This will cause huge confusion, and make the correct use of the category difficult. Consider Category:Dracaena. At present the article on the species Dracaena arborescens has [[Category:Dracaena|arborescens]]. It's easy for editors to remember that the category declaration for the article with the title "Genus species" is "Category:Genus|species". If the change is made, then the Dracaena arborescens article must use [[Category:Dracaena (plant)|arborescens]]. This is clumsy and totally unnecessary. The way so many categories of different kinds have been nominated mixed together makes it almost impossible to discuss them properly. Peter coxhead ( talk) 21:38, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
I hope that, so long as Category:Dracaena is otherwise unused, it's not problematic to have a category redirect there. It does ensure that any editor that tries to set up e.g. "Category:Dracaena|americana" (a species with no article yet) is much less likely to make this mistake.

Hi BHG; I wonder if you could help me with a category issue? I feel I'm missing something here; as far as I can see, you wanted the title of the category for faculty at Queen's University at Kingston to be "Queen's University at Kingston faculty", which seems perfectly reasonable, but the bot has moved it to the bizarre "Queen's University faculty at Kingston". I can't locate any discussion for this, and I'm assuming that it's a mistake -- "at Kingston" is presumably being added as it's the full, official name of the university, and not to identify those academics who are part of Queen's but "at Kingston" (in contrast, for example, to those at the Queen's International Study Centre). Could you help out? What is the correct way to go about remedying this? Josh Milburn ( talk) 12:58, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Josh Milburn, Thanks for raising this. Short version: I screwed up, and I'll get it fixed.
As you rightly spotted, I intended to move the category to Category:Queen's University at Kingston faculty, and that's how I tagged the category. [6].
However, when I manually added the list of subcats to the speedy nomination, I screwed up the rename target for the faculty category: see this edit. [7].

You recently reverted the move of "St. Bonaventure Bonnies football" to "St. Bonaventure Brown Indians". Your edit summary stated "revert undiscussed move by User:Cbl62 to an anachronistic name. The football team was never known as Bonnies." In fact, your edit history is wrong on both points.
First, the name "Bonnies" is not anachronistic. The football team was commonly known as the "Brown and White" in early years (1903-1931), but became commonly known as the "Bonnies" in its later years (1932-1951). The football team was sometimes referred to as the "Brown Indians" in the later years, but it never became the dominant name. Here is some raw data on use of the nicknames "Bonnies" vs. "Brown Indians" during the years in which St. Bonaventure fielded a football team. The data is drawn from Newspapers.com. The searches were limited to the State of New York in order to avoid erroneous inclusion of schools in other states known as St. Bonaventure. The bold number highlights the most commonly used nickname in a particular year.

As is evident from the data, "Bonnies" is not the anachronism. To the contrary, "Brown Indians" as applied to the football program is the real "anchronism".
Second, the move was not "undiscussed." To the contrary, it followed a week of discussion at Talk:St. Bonaventure Brown Indians football. Another user had initially objected to the move but agreed after being presented with the usage data. Cbl62 ( talk) 21:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, when you add eponymous taxon categories, as in this edit, these should replace any parent taxon category that was used previously (in this case Category:Prasophyllinae), rather than being in addition. Peter coxhead ( talk) 09:20, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
clearly indicate that a taxon article is placed in only one taxon categoryis neither evident from the diagrams nor stated in plain text ... and at no point in diagram or in text is there any mention of the special case of eponymous categories. I have done extensive work on en.wp categories for 14 years, and I can only describe that page as a verbose nuisance. Given that our earlier discussions showed you to be not only very unfamiliar with categorisation practices and guidelines, but actively hostile to long-established basic categorisation guidelines, it's a great pity that you wrote that page without apparently seeking any input from the editors who routinely work on categories. (If you had asked at WT:CATP, you would have found that there are are dozen or so highly-experienced category editors, several of whom would have been happy to help, and the result would have a vastly more informative page at about 1/10th of the length).
hen you add eponymous taxon categories, as in this edit, these should replace any parent taxon category that was used previously. So apart from being rude, your post just asserted a personal opinion. It later became clear that your comment was based on the page that you had written, but didn't even mention its existence until your second comment.

Hi, Please stop!!! see your Matsumae one for why, thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk) 13:00, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
@ Maculosae tegmine lyncis: our discussion above led me to believe that you had been creating categories indiscriminately, without regard to their potential for expansion. So I reviewed the compete list of your category creations, examining categories which has less than 4 articles.
In every case I checked the head article, and if there was a link to a suitable article to add to the category, then I added it. (For transparency, here's my edits in that period, so that you see exactly what I did). I noticed that in a high proportion of cases, the head article was either not in the category, or had been added by me in my recent AWB run to add missing eponymous categories. That is a surprising omission, because the utility of a category is much reduced if it is omitted from the list at the bottom of the head article.
That led to 30 more categories being listed for full discussion at CFD (see the notfications on your talk), and a further two listed at WP:CFDS for speedy renaming.
Note that plenty of these categories have had a long time to be populated. For example, you created Category:Kurayoshi, Tottori back in 2012, [13] but it still has only three articles.
It's clear from our discussions that you have populated categories in the hope that lots of articles will be translated from Japanese Wikipedia to populate the category, but that clearly hasn't been happening on anywhere near the scale you hoped. So the result has been far too many small categories which don't help navigation.
In future, please create only categories which can immediately be populated with existing articles, or which can be reasonably be expected to be populated with a few months.

Hi BHG. Hope you're doing well. A quick question - do you know where I can find the guidance on not using a birth year to disambig an article title?

Hey BHG. Hope you're well. I'm reaching out to people who have edited [[South Wales East (Senedd Cymru electoral region)] and, in particular, people who know how to edit the table of list members. The Conservative Senedd member Mohammed Asghar has died and having tried to just enter "Vacant" underneath his name, I've got lost in a mathematical haze of rowspan=x rowspan=z rowspan=q confusion. I just can't for the life of me work out which rowspans and column spans and other numbers I have to increase by 1 to add the word "vacant" underneath his name. Could you either help or do this for me please? I had the same problems with European Parliament regions, I just get brain freeze whenever I try to work out what to do with rowspan numbers and I'm too scared to just go ahead and wish for the best!

Hi BHG, I hope that you're well - don't think we've interacted before. I edit in the anatomy and peer review spaces. As part of my biannual cleanup of peer review I've been trawling through the categories associated with peer review. I have seen you at categories for deletion and would like to ask for your opinion about the contents of this category: Category:WikiProject_peer_reviews. I can't find a single Wikiproject there which has open peer reviews. I opened ten randomly and the most recent review I found on any was in 2012. In fact most of them link to pages that may or may not have been edited (c.f. Wikipedia:WikiProject Zimbabwe/Peer review).
I feel they should be deleted because (1) they are unused and clutter WikiProjects (2) if they become reused they may waste or soak up lots of time when we have a fine and up-to-date and slightly more viewed project already, and (3) they encourage WP ownership of reviews which is a no-no. Also, (4) I think overall it's better if we can just have a single way to do this, which can be maintained centrally and is easier for editors to learn how to use.
I wanted to ask your advice before putting these up for nomination because (1) I want to see if you think this is a reasonable request and the category has lots of associated pages, associated with Wikiprojects, and (2) I'm not sure about how I should go about this discussion. If I do this in the wrong way it will end up devolving into people commenting about how it was filed wrong, needed notifications, isn't possible for logistical reasons etc.; my goal would be to somehow post the discussion in a place and manner where a discussion on its merits can occur.

Manimajra was renamed as sector 13 legally by UT government of Chandigarh in January 2020 and by February 2020 the new name was finally declared to be written everywhere on papers.

Being a Indian resident, i would like to contribute to this new law which was passed by our government .
It is true that the proposal had been initially opposed in december 2019. In the initial proposal, names like Sector M or Sector 26 east were proposed. Here is the link for initial proposals made :-

But soon the final decision was made which overruled the previous proposals and finally the new name for manimajra was concluded as sector 13 by the beginning of 2020. The next link (6th Link) was also published in Tribune India with the final decision which was declared in February 2020 :-

I strongly object to renaming categories for disambiguated genera. This will cause huge confusion, and make the correct use of the category difficult. Consider Category:Dracaena. At present the article on the species Dracaena arborescens has [[Category:Dracaena|arborescens]]. It's easy for editors to remember that the category declaration for the article with the title "Genus species" is "Category:Genus|species". If the change is made, then the Dracaena arborescens article must use [[Category:Dracaena (plant)|arborescens]]. This is clumsy and totally unnecessary. The way so many categories of different kinds have been nominated mixed together makes it almost impossible to discuss them properly. Peter coxhead ( talk) 21:38, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
I hope that, so long as Category:Dracaena is otherwise unused, it's not problematic to have a category redirect there. It does ensure that any editor that tries to set up e.g. "Category:Dracaena|americana" (a species with no article yet) is much less likely to make this mistake.

Hi BHG; I wonder if you could help me with a category issue? I feel I'm missing something here; as far as I can see, you wanted the title of the category for faculty at Queen's University at Kingston to be "Queen's University at Kingston faculty", which seems perfectly reasonable, but the bot has moved it to the bizarre "Queen's University faculty at Kingston". I can't locate any discussion for this, and I'm assuming that it's a mistake -- "at Kingston" is presumably being added as it's the full, official name of the university, and not to identify those academics who are part of Queen's but "at Kingston" (in contrast, for example, to those at the Queen's International Study Centre). Could you help out? What is the correct way to go about remedying this? Josh Milburn ( talk) 12:58, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Josh Milburn, Thanks for raising this. Short version: I screwed up, and I'll get it fixed.
As you rightly spotted, I intended to move the category to Category:Queen's University at Kingston faculty, and that's how I tagged the category. [6].
However, when I manually added the list of subcats to the speedy nomination, I screwed up the rename target for the faculty category: see this edit. [7].
I will do another speedy nomination to fix this. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 20:20, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

You recently reverted the move of "St. Bonaventure Bonnies football" to "St. Bonaventure Brown Indians". Your edit summary stated "revert undiscussed move by User:Cbl62 to an anachronistic name. The football team was never known as Bonnies." In fact, your edit history is wrong on both points.
First, the name "Bonnies" is not anachronistic. The football team was commonly known as the "Brown and White" in early years (1903-1931), but became commonly known as the "Bonnies" in its later years (1932-1951). The football team was sometimes referred to as the "Brown Indians" in the later years, but it never became the dominant name. Here is some raw data on use of the nicknames "Bonnies" vs. "Brown Indians" during the years in which St. Bonaventure fielded a football team. The data is drawn from Newspapers.com. The searches were limited to the State of New York in order to avoid erroneous inclusion of schools in other states known as St. Bonaventure. The bold number highlights the most commonly used nickname in a particular year.

As is evident from the data, "Bonnies" is not the anachronism. To the contrary, "Brown Indians" as applied to the football program is the real "anchronism".
Second, the move was not "undiscussed." To the contrary, it followed a week of discussion at Talk:St. Bonaventure Brown Indians football. Another user had initially objected to the move but agreed after being presented with the usage data. Cbl62 ( talk) 21:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, when you add eponymous taxon categories, as in this edit, these should replace any parent taxon category that was used previously (in this case Category:Prasophyllinae), rather than being in addition. Peter coxhead ( talk) 09:20, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
clearly indicate that a taxon article is placed in only one taxon categoryis neither evident from the diagrams nor stated in plain text ... and at no point in diagram or in text is there any mention of the special case of eponymous categories. I have done extensive work on en.wp categories for 14 years, and I can only describe that page as a verbose nuisance. Given that our earlier discussions showed you to be not only very unfamiliar with categorisation practices and guidelines, but actively hostile to long-established basic categorisation guidelines, it's a great pity that you wrote that page without apparently seeking any input from the editors who routinely work on categories. (If you had asked at WT:CATP, you would have found that there are are dozen or so highly-experienced category editors, several of whom would have been happy to help, and the result would have a vastly more informative page at about 1/10th of the length).
hen you add eponymous taxon categories, as in this edit, these should replace any parent taxon category that was used previously. So apart from being rude, your post just asserted a personal opinion. It later became clear that your comment was based on the page that you had written, but didn't even mention its existence until your second comment.

Hi, Please stop!!! see your Matsumae one for why, thank you, Maculosae tegmine lyncis ( talk) 13:00, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
@ Maculosae tegmine lyncis: our discussion above led me to believe that you had been creating categories indiscriminately, without regard to their potential for expansion. So I reviewed the compete list of your category creations, examining categories which has less than 4 articles.
In every case I checked the head article, and if there was a link to a suitable article to add to the category, then I added it. (For transparency, here's my edits in that period, so that you see exactly what I did). I noticed that in a high proportion of cases, the head article was either not in the category, or had been added by me in my recent AWB run to add missing eponymous categories. That is a surprising omission, because the utility of a category is much reduced if it is omitted from the list at the bottom of the head article.
That led to 30 more categories being listed for full discussion at CFD (see the notfications on your talk), and a further two listed at WP:CFDS for speedy renaming.
Note that plenty of these categories have had a long time to be populated. For example, you created Category:Kurayoshi, Tottori back in 2012, [13] but it still has only three articles.
It's clear from our discussions that you have populated categories in the hope that lots of articles will be translated from Japanese Wikipedia to populate the category, but that clearly hasn't been happening on anywhere near the scale you hoped. So the result has been far too many small categories which don't help navigation.
In future, please create only categories which can immediately be populated with existing articles, or which can be reasonably be expected to be populated with a few months.

Hi BHG. Hope you're doing well. A quick question - do you know where I can find the guidance on not using a birth year to disambig an article title? For example, using John Smith (English cricketer) and John Smith (Australian cricketer) instead of John Smith (cricketer, born 1066) and John Smith (cricketer, born 1666). I don't believe it was cricket, or indeed sport specific, but I'm sure it exists! Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately the RM was closed before I had a chance to respond. I'm happy to discuss differences of opinion about article titling policy with you or anyone, but regarding this edit, please see WP:NPA and consider deleting your final 2 sentences. I think they are below your usual standards. Station1 ( talk) 18:38, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
The fact that an article has a different title is not a factor in determining whether a topic is primary
Hi BHG. Looking at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_July_2, I noticed that a bunch of categories you nominated for deletion per WP:SMALLCAT now have more articles than at the time of your nomination. If you'd be willing to review those, or if you want me to simply consider your nomination withdrawn for categories with more than n articles and close accordingly, it'd be appreciated.

In re:
this comment, a closure reviews would be better than alluding to fellow editors acting like a self-appointed version of those I do-what-like-and-don't-have-to-justify-myself cops whose videos are all over the internet

Hello - While working on the potential category above, I see in Category:Wildlife management areas by state several options for creating such a category for Connecticut.
I was hoping you might provide an opinion.
For example, is there a preferred form? in state X, of state X, blah blah in state X, state X blah blah.
