Hyphenating "fully-protected" is absolutely incorrect, per

Comment: I have to say that having learned to hyphenate compound adjectives, I find this exception unintuitive and unclear in its scope. Which -ly adverbs are "standard"? I accept that "fully" is otherwise consistently unhyphenated in Wikipedia category names (see All pages with titles beginning with Category:Wikipedia fully), but dare I challenge the assumption that "vertically" and "biologically" are "standard" adverbs? –
FayenaticLondon 16:17, 10 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Standard adverb = adjective + -ly. New + -ly, newly. Vertical + -ly, vertically.
Nonstandard -ly are dual adverb/adjectives like early, only: (early, only, northerly) are not standard -ly adverbs, because they are not formed by addition of -ly to an independent current-English adjective.73.93.5.246 (

Support Hah, you're suggesting what I've been meticulously preparing for some days. :) I've
Template:Diffused both cats as far as possible, and what we're left with is two almost identical cats. Per
WP:C2DCategory:Rurik dynasty should be the name of the merged cat, but I think the word "dynasty" may be a bit unhelpful here, because it suggests everyone in it was a "dynast" or "ruler".
en:wikt:dynasty defines it as A series of rulers or dynasts from one family. That means
Olga of Kiev would, strictly speaking, fall outside the scope of "dynasty", because she was only a princess consort and then regent. More importantly, it would have to apply to every single person in the subcategories, which it doesn't. Therefore, a Reverse merge may be an even better idea. I think it may also be a good idea to rename the main article to "Rurikids" rather than "Rurik dynasty", but that may require an RM. Cheers,

That is an unexpected development. For what it is worth, I am quite sure that (nearly) all dynasty categories here on en.wp are used for the whole family, not just for the monarchs.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 15:31, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Well, this is a certain inaccuracy that everyone seems to collectively ignore. A dynasty strictly speaking is "a series of people from the same family holding the same office one after another." George VI, Elizabeth II and Charles III are part of the Windsor dynasty, but Prince William is not (yet), he is part of the "House of Windsor". That's why here we should name the category "Rurikids", "House of Rurik" or "Rurikovichi".
Marcelus (
talk) 19:20, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
You (@
Marcocapelle) may be forgiven for the confusion, because I myself have also used "dynasty" and "(ruling/reigning/royal/imperial) house" interchangeably until recently, when such categorisations here on English Wikipedia stopped making sense to me (hahaha). The second meaning of
en:wikt:dynasty is (East Asian history) The polity or historical era under the rule of a certain dynasty, which is much, much broader. I must confess that I first learnt about dynasties as a concept while I was exploring Chinese history right at the same time when I made my first edits on Wikipedia; as a matter of fact, my first 3 created articles ever were about Chinese dynasties! It may also be that the word dynastie in our native Dutch language isn't as specific as dynasty in English. My Koenen Woordenboek 2006 defines dynastie as vorstenhuis, regend huis.
nl:wikt:dynastie provides an even broader definition: uitgebreide familie, inclusief aangetrouwde familie, die over twee of meer generaties invloed of macht heeft uitgeoefend, meestal in een land. So Prince William is not part of the Windsor dynasty, but he is part of the Windsor-dynastie! I'm just as confused as you. ;)
As a cherry on the cake:
Merriam-Webster defines dynasty as1. a succession of rulers of the same line of descent, e.g. "a dynasty that ruled China for nearly 300 years". 2. a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time, e.g. "born into a powerful political dynasty." "a baseball dynasty" The latter definition is broader, but not necessarily one of monarchical hereditary succession, and doesn't even have to be political, but can be about baseball. This second M-W definition also aligns closely with the third definition given by
en:wikt:dynasty: (sports) A team or organization which has an extended period of success or dominant performance. The broad Dutch definition of dynastie as "ruling house" beyond just the rulers themselves simply doesn't seem to exist in English.
Oppose. I don't think adding
Mussorgsky and
Kropotkin to this category is such a brilliant idea. These things have been kept separate for a reason.
Ghirla-трёп- 18:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Well, that might have been a good idea when you and No Free Nickname Left first created these categories in 2005 and 2007, but the past 18 years have shown that it hasn't worked. Before I began to fix the mess, people and subcategories were randomly placed in both categories all the time. That means the category names were not clear enough to describe their functions. It is just better to separate familial ties and dynastic positions anyway. E.g.
Category:Monomakhovichi family describes everyone who directly descended from
Vladimir II Monomakh, regardless of the position or "job" they had, and
Category:Grand Princes of Kiev describes everyone who actually had the position or "job" of
Grand Prince of Kiev, regardless of the family they belonged to. Perhaps the confusion was destined to happen. All we can do now is fix it. I've basically already done that, and this is the last step to complete the fixing. Cheers,
Nederlandse Leeuw (
talk) 22:27, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
PS: If we actually want to visualise dynasties in the strict sense of "A series of rulers or dynasts from one family", lists do the job much better than categories anyway. Lists are series of items put in a certain order (in this case chronologically), categories are unsorted groups of items that have something in common (and the default sorting of items in Wikipedia categories is alphabetically). Lists of (mostly) "Rurikid" rulers already exist, like grouped in
Category:Noble titles of Kievan Rus, the difference being that the principality rather than the family defines the list, and ruling families can switch.

In principle Merge all to "Recurring events established in XXth century". Several of these are fairs or carnivals, which may be tied to a (religious) festival, but are rather more than that. Most of the annual categories contain nothing but one event; and the decade categories only one sub-cat. A fair was a sort of wholesale marketing event, much more than a mere festival. Whether the recurring events tree is redundant to the festivals needs to be considered separately. If anything, the festivals tree should be merged into the recurring events tree, as proposed for 12th century item (below).

Futher comment, renaming is especially useful here because Kievan Rus' was not a country in modern sense (as the current name suggests) but rather a geographical concept referring to all principalities that once belonged to Kiev and were mostly ruled by various branches of the
Rurik dynasty.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 02:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Well yeah, I mostly agree, except that I would call it a political rather than geographical concept. It was just as real, but just as divided, decentralised and disintegrative as the
Holy Roman Empire. Like the HRE, Kievan Rus' was dysfunctional whenever there was no strong central monarchy, or otherwise a significantly institutionalised federal state/government whose unity and capacity to function wouldn't depend on the presence of a capable monarch and a smooth, peaceful transfer of power.
Nederlandse Leeuw (

Second comment, for princesses as spouses of ruling princes, the preposition "in" might be a bit more appropriate than "from", but I do not think that the category is limited to spouses of rulers, so never mind about that.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 02:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
@
Marcocapelle Exactly. I also thought "in" was a good solution for a while, but these princesses (and princes) weren't necessarily tied to Kievan Rus' in a physical or legal sense. "Princess" can also just refer to a daughter of the Grand Prince of Kiev
who is married off to a stranger to strengthen his alliance with Poland. The only "Kievan Rus'" thing about her at that point is that she was originally from Kievan Rus'. The rename proposal thus describes her better.
Nederlandse Leeuw (
talk) 22:54, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
They don't need to have ever moved out of Kievan Rus' to be "from Kievan Rus'". If you walked up to a nun and asked: "Where are you from?", she would probably have answered: "From (around) here." "From" is a great preposition for this.

Support Hah, you're suggesting what I've been meticulously preparing for some days. :) I've
Template:Diffused both cats as far as possible, and what we're left with is two almost identical cats. Per
WP:C2DCategory:Rurik dynasty should be the name of the merged cat, but I think the word "dynasty" may be a bit unhelpful here, because it suggests everyone in it was a "dynast" or "ruler".
en:wikt:dynasty defines it as A series of rulers or dynasts from one family. That means
Olga of Kiev would, strictly speaking, fall outside the scope of "dynasty", because she was only a princess consort and then regent. More importantly, it would have to apply to every single person in the subcategories, which it doesn't. Therefore, a Reverse merge may be an even better idea. I think it may also be a good idea to rename the main article to "Rurikids" rather than "Rurik dynasty", but that may require an RM. Cheers,

That is an unexpected development. For what it is worth, I am quite sure that (nearly) all dynasty categories here on en.wp are used for the whole family, not just for the monarchs.
Marcocapelle (

Well, this is a certain inaccuracy that everyone seems to collectively ignore. A dynasty strictly speaking is "a series of people from the same family holding the same office one after another." George VI, Elizabeth II and Charles III are part of the Windsor dynasty, but Prince William is not (yet), he is part of the "House of Windsor". That's why here we should name the category "Rurikids", "House of Rurik" or "Rurikovichi".
Marcelus (

You (@
Marcocapelle) may be forgiven for the confusion, because I myself have also used "dynasty" and "(ruling/reigning/royal/imperial) house" interchangeably until recently, when such categorisations here on English Wikipedia stopped making sense to me (hahaha). The second meaning of
en:wikt:dynasty is (East Asian history) The polity or historical era under the rule of a certain dynasty, which is much, much broader. I must confess that I first learnt about dynasties as a concept while I was exploring Chinese history right at the same time when I made my first edits on Wikipedia; as a matter of fact, my first 3 created articles ever were about Chinese dynasties! It may also be that the word dynastie in our native Dutch language isn't as specific as dynasty in English. My Koenen Woordenboek 2006 defines dynastie as vorstenhuis, regend huis.
nl:wikt:dynastie provides an even broader definition: uitgebreide familie, inclusief aangetrouwde familie, die over twee of meer generaties invloed of macht heeft uitgeoefend, meestal in een land. So Prince William is not part of the Windsor dynasty, but he is part of the Windsor-dynastie! I'm just as confused as you. ;)
As a cherry on the cake:
Merriam-Webster defines dynasty as1. a succession of rulers of the same line of descent, e.g. "a dynasty that ruled China for nearly 300 years". 2. a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time, e.g. "born into a powerful political dynasty." "a baseball dynasty" The latter definition is broader, but not necessarily one of monarchical hereditary succession, and doesn't even have to be political, but can be about baseball. This second M-W definition also aligns closely with the third definition given by
en:wikt:dynasty: (sports) A team or organization which has an extended period of success or dominant performance. The broad Dutch definition of dynastie as "ruling house" beyond just the rulers themselves simply doesn't seem to exist in English.
Oppose. I don't think adding
Mussorgsky and
Kropotkin to this category is such a brilliant idea. These things have been kept separate for a reason.
Ghirla-трёп- 18:30, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Well, that might have been a good idea when you and No Free Nickname Left first created these categories in 2005 and 2007, but the past 18 years have shown that it hasn't worked. Before I began to fix the mess, people and subcategories were randomly placed in both categories all the time. That means the category names were not clear enough to describe their functions. It is just better to separate familial ties and dynastic positions anyway. E.g.
Category:Monomakhovichi family describes everyone who directly descended from
Vladimir II Monomakh, regardless of the position or "job" they had, and
Category:Grand Princes of Kiev describes everyone who actually had the position or "job" of
Grand Prince of Kiev, regardless of the family they belonged to. Perhaps the confusion was destined to happen. All we can do now is fix it. I've basically already done that, and this is the last step to complete the fixing. Cheers,

PS: If we actually want to visualise dynasties in the strict sense of "A series of rulers or dynasts from one family", lists do the job much better than categories anyway. Lists are series of items put in a certain order (in this case chronologically), categories are unsorted groups of items that have something in common (and the default sorting of items in Wikipedia categories is alphabetically). Lists of (mostly) "Rurikid" rulers already exist, like grouped in
Category:Noble titles of Kievan Rus, the difference being that the principality rather than the family defines the list, and ruling families can switch.

In principle Merge all to "Recurring events established in XXth century". Several of these are fairs or carnivals, which may be tied to a (religious) festival, but are rather more than that. Most of the annual categories contain nothing but one event; and the decade categories only one sub-cat. A fair was a sort of wholesale marketing event, much more than a mere festival. Whether the recurring events tree is redundant to the festivals needs to be considered separately. If anything, the festivals tree should be merged into the recurring events tree, as proposed for 12th century item (below).

✗plicit 02:18, 22 June 2023 (UTC)reply
Futher comment, renaming is especially useful here because Kievan Rus' was not a country in modern sense (as the current name suggests) but rather a geographical concept referring to all principalities that once belonged to Kiev and were mostly ruled by various branches of the
Rurik dynasty.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 02:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
Well yeah, I mostly agree, except that I would call it a political rather than geographical concept. It was just as real, but just as divided, decentralised and disintegrative as the
Holy Roman Empire. Like the HRE, Kievan Rus' was dysfunctional whenever there was no strong central monarchy, or otherwise a significantly institutionalised federal state/government whose unity and capacity to function wouldn't depend on the presence of a capable monarch and a smooth, peaceful transfer of power.
Nederlandse Leeuw (

Second comment, for princesses as spouses of ruling princes, the preposition "in" might be a bit more appropriate than "from", but I do not think that the category is limited to spouses of rulers, so never mind about that.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 02:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
@
Marcocapelle Exactly. I also thought "in" was a good solution for a while, but these princesses (and princes) weren't necessarily tied to Kievan Rus' in a physical or legal sense. "Princess" can also just refer to a daughter of the Grand Prince of Kiev
who is married off to a stranger to strengthen his alliance with Poland. The only "Kievan Rus'" thing about her at that point is that she was originally from Kievan Rus'. The rename proposal thus describes her better.
Nederlandse Leeuw (
talk) 22:54, 9 May 2023 (UTC)reply
They don't need to have ever moved out of Kievan Rus' to be "from Kievan Rus'". If you walked up to a nun and asked: "Where are you from?", she would probably have answered: "From (around) here." "From" is a great preposition for this.
