Saint Lucia (please add to 2022 monkeypox outbreak)

Hello, I had messaged you the other day. But this time it is for a recommendation, Could you please add Saint Lucia to the confirmed countries. Also here is the source proveing it. (MagneticMediaTV) 73.126.133.15 (talk) 15:56, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Second opinion

Hello friend. I hear you're good with categories so was wondering if I could ask a second opinion. Mainly so I can learn. 1) I saw this on my watchlist. Just wondering if it's correct to put a mountain in a category such as Mountaineering deaths or Mountaineering disasters? There's a paragraph about this in the article but doesn't seem like a perfect fit. 2) A visit to Category:Mountaineering_deaths shows some articles sorting under space and *, should their sortkeys be deleted so that they sort normally? 3) Same category, I see a lot of people peppered in. Should this category only include articles specifically about mountaineering deaths, e.g. "Death of X" or "Y accident" instead of articles on specific people? Thanks for your time. –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:47, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Novem Linguae: Apologies - I've been perambulating all day, and have just now returned home for the evening. To answer your questions.

1) I don't think it's correct to put a mountain in such a category, no. (Possibly "Mountaneering disasters", but only if the incident in question occupies a substantial part of the article text, and even then I think it's iffy.)

2) No need to re-sort; I think everything in the category looks fine as is.
3) No - it's fine as is, I think. "Mountaneering deaths" can be seen as a subset of "deaths by cause", same as "deaths from cancer" or "deaths from pneumonia". And we don't require an article to be about someone's death only to fit in the latter categories.

Hope this is of use to you - happy editing! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:47, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick, friendly, expert advice. Much appreciated :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:44, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Albio Sires

Hello, why did you remove the categories Category:Democratic Party members of the United States House of Representatives, Category:Members of the United States House of Representatives from New Jersey, Category:New Jersey Democrats from Albio Sires?. I'm curious what your reasoning is. I feel they shouldn't have been removed, but I'm open to other opinions. Acebarry (talk) 14:19, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Acebarry: They have all been collapsed into Category:Democratic Party members of the United States House of Representatives from New Jersey - per Wikipedia:Categorization, there's no need for him to be in all four. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 17:14, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Simonet

Hello. I have tried to link languages https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simonet and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simonet but I cannot do it, can you do it please? Thank you. 85.60.107.175 (talk) 02:18, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Animated comedy films?

Hi Ser, thanks for your work to remove the country categories for film articles per the recent discussion. Did you mean to also remove the above category from a number of films? I don't recall seeing a conversation to that effect. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 18:36, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Doniago: They were in a by-nationality subcat, so I assumed they should be diffused - unless I've forgotten something, I thought that was the way it was supposed to go. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:43, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The category you removed in a few cases was Category:Animated comedy films, which doesn't appear to be in a by-nationality subcat? See [1], [2], [3] as examples. DonIago (talk) 18:49, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Doniago: They should have been in Category:American animated comedy films, no? --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:51, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I gotcha now. I thought you were making edits akin to removing the "master" country categories (which most of your edits were at a glance); I didn't realize you were removing that category because the articles in question were already in subcats. Thanks for clarifying! DonIago (talk) 19:01, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Doniago: Any time. Thanks for the question - honestly I've been doing so much my head was beginning to spin a bit, so it's nice to have a pause. :-) Happy editing! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:02, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Related: Could you include a link to the discussion deprecating the practice in your edit summaries? It'd be much more convenient to other editors who weren't following it. I couldn't find it myself, and only saw that Bearcat recently edited WP:MOSFILM to say so. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012: Sure - I can do that. I wasn't aware of a particular discussion myself; I just happened to see it in the edit summaries of the categories, also. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 11:58, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Pedro Rebolledo (composer)

The article Pedro Rebolledo (composer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Category:Indian films

Hello @Ser Amantio di Nicolao I hope you're good. I came across your edit where you removed the category (I did check you the link in edit summary but it was an bouncer for me). If not Indian films then what should we include as a replacement. Thanks, stay safe C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 05:58, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@C1K98V: Is this the link you tried? Seems to be working for me. Regardless: it basically says that having all films in the by-country categories is no longer necessary due to their size. As long as the article is in a subcategory of the parent (as these are in various subcategories of Category:Indian films by language, there's no need to replace the category with anything once it's been removed. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 06:01, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding the relevant quote from the linked page:

Please note that WikiProject Film formerly maintained a consensus of requiring base "Country films" (e.g. Category:American films) to be "all-inclusive" — that is, in order that the base category served as a complete and thorough directory of all films from that country, a film had to be filed there even if it was already in one or more "Country-genre" or "Country-other characteristic" subcategories. However, this is no longer established practice; due to the extreme size that some countries' categories attained, that practice has been deprecated. A film should still be filed directly in the appropriate "Country films" category if its genre is uncertain and/or the appropriate "Country-genre" intersection category does not yet exist, but should no longer be filed there simultaneously with other subcategories within the same country's tree.

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao okay got it. Thanks C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 06:18, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fixing articles

Dear Ser is it OK if you help out to fix a couple of articles? Guroghviono (talk) 02:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you change the 2010s to present content on the history section of the horror film article into a 2010s content for now? Guroghviono (talk) 02:59, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And for the history of horror films article can change the 2010s–present section into a 2010s section for now? Guroghviono (talk) 03:00, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you split 2010s and 2020s for the horror film article next? Guroghviono (talk) 04:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Guroghviono: No - that would leave "2020s" with only a sentence of information. Better to wait until there's more material. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:58, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK or you could just remove 2020s for now and I thank you for splitting the 2010s and 2020s for the history of horror films article. Guroghviono (talk) 05:00, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Guroghviono: I'm not going to change the article. I don't feel that it needs changing. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:02, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe later? Guroghviono (talk) 05:04, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Guroghviono: I'm not interested in changing the article. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:04, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Guroghviono (talk) 05:08, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if I wasted your time. Guroghviono (talk) 05:10, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please be aware that Guroghviono is banned user Jinnifer. Strongly recommend deleting entire thread as per WP:DENY--Mr Fink (talk) 05:24, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Apokryltaros: Personally, I prefer to leave it. I don't like to delete anything from my talkpage (unless there are legal considerations). Maybe I'm peculiar that way, but...well, I'm peculiar in a lot of ways. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Apokryltaros: Blocked for sockpuppetry. (And for playing me for a fool, but that's beside the point.) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:32, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone is strange, like how Echo and the Bunnymen once opined, and thank you for the help. Their nonsense on my page pretty much confirmed their identity for me.--Mr Fink (talk) 05:36, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Apokryltaros: Honestly, I'm a teensy bit uncomfortable having done it without a CheckUser, but I trust the judgment of enough of the people involved that I think it was warranted, especially as the individual in question was currently active. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:37, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Film cats

Hi SADN - hope you are well! Just a note that removing the language categories on film articles such as this don't really do anything, as the language category is also hard-coded from the infobox too. Maybe un-hardcoding it should be done. If there is such a word. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:11, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lugnuts: I know that's the case for some...I think I've encountered a few, though, where it's not hard-coded (I can't remember which ones, but offhand I know I saw at least two yesterday). To your second point: I think un-hardcoding it isn't a bad idea, but I think that may be something for a little further down the line when we think about getting unwieldy categories under control. The hardcoding has always bugged me a bit - I get its point, but it makes it difficult to pare down unwieldy categories, and I think it might be time to give that some thought. Having said which...I'm going to be going out of town in a couple of days, so it may be something for me to chew over on my return. Or maybe earlier...I do have a laptop, after all... --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No probs - just so you're aware! Yeah, could well be worth flagging it up at WT:FILM and getting the infobox changed. Enjoy your days out of town. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:33, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lugnuts: Looking forward to it - I really need the break. Thanks for the tip. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:35, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can we also do the same for Category:Silent films? Scorpions13256 (talk) 22:39, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Scorpions13256: Personally, I see no reason why not, but I defer to Lugnuts and his longer experience with film categories and articles. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 22:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It would be fine by me, Scorps, but best drop a note at WT:FILM first to see what others think. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 10:44, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lugnuts:, Scorpions13256 - that goes without saying, to me. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 11:57, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like there's a movement afoot! Please see Template_talk:Infobox_film#Redundancy_in_categories_added_by_template. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 13:22, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Lugnuts: Thanks for the pin tip - I've replied. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 13:42, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit count

Hi. Did you calculate this, or what? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:16, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64: Sort of. I wanted 5 million to be something special, and as it happened I didn't get to start creating the article until close to midnight (I had chores last night, for one thing.) Didn't quite intend for it to happen that way, but it did. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:40, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Bader Al Shebani

Hi Ser, This article was previously proposed for deletion for a variety of reasons, including notability and unambiguous advertising.he is a Saudi mountain climber, entrepreneur and author of two books with good coverage by the media (TV, radio, and newspapers), I guess this is enough as notability evidence, but for promotion accusation, we're from different countries and I don't see any evidence for advertising. I just read about him and tried to create an article about him. I hope you can help me with this issue and to check the draft. If you see any problems, I'll respect your opinion. Thanks.
