The Midnight Hour 1985 Movie

Hello and good day - I made a minor change on the article about the 1985 made for TV movie The Midnight Hour. The plot states "It is Halloween in the small town of Pitchford Cove located somewhere in New England" not giving any specific state. In the movie, approximately at the 27 minute 43 second time marker there is a quick shot of the back of Phil Grenville's car, showing the license plate number "713 ZKH" and what appears to say "Massachusetts" on top of it. So I amended the plot to say "...the small town of Pitchford Cove, Massachusetts..." please advise if this is okay (here at your discussion page) if not, please let me know. Thanks, btw for all of your contributions at Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.131.162.60 (talk) 03:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

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)

@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)

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

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)

@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)

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)

@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)

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)

@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)

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)

@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)

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)

@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)

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)

@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)

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.

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)

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)

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)

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)

@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)

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.

Film categories

Hi Steve, I know you're on holiday but perhaps you or Lugnuts could explain why Category:Argentine films and Category:American films etc has been dispersed from an A-Z and who decided this? I'm not going to find films in "Argentine romantic comedies" if I don't know what genre a film is in. Having an A-Z list of films by country was one of the most important assets to the film infrastructure on here I thought. If we've removed those categories (I can agree on the American category being too big to navigate), I think we should create lists in an A-Z for convenience. We need one place where all films from a given country are listed for quick access and convenience.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:31, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Dr B - please see this and this. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:36, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Sc2353 Category:Argentine historical comedy-drama films is definitely overkill with categorization. Bearcat and Erik who were involved with approving this, did you not think if we were going to get rid of the categories then we should at least move them to a useful A-Z list by country in the article space? We are now left with articles in the main category which don't yet have genre mentioned and they are the ones most likely to be undeveloped which people are going to see when looking in the main category for films of that country. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:40, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

65 genres of film to browse through now to find films?? It's fine if we have one sensible category to list them in too but not as a main page for navigation. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:53, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

It's not ideal, but I'm long past caring about changes like this. One of my fave recent films is the Brazilian film Bacurau. I could never recal the spelling, but knew it was in the parent category of Category:Brazilian films. I was looking for it the other day, and eventually found it in Category:Brazilian science fiction drama films! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 17:57, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Your concerns have to be balanced against the size of the national film categories, because category size is an issue we have to take into account as well.

For example, under all-included rules Category:American films had around 55,000 articles in it — a size that is not acceptable, not manageable and would have been deemed too large and in urgent need of diffusion in virtually any other category tree. This meant, for starters, that it was impossible to actually do any work in that category with WP:AWB, such as making sure that all the films in the genre categories even were being included in the main category in the first place, because AWB has a 25,000 article limit on batches which only got one to the letter I and left any title from J through Z completely unprocessable in AWB. For another thing, in the process of cleaning this up I have caught several dozen films that were in the American films category but didn't actually belong there because they weren't actually American-produced films at all, and only a cleanup attempt to diffuse the category would ever actually have caught such errors.

Category:Argentine films, similarly, had around 2,000 articles in it — and while that didn't rub up the against AWB batching issue, it was still too large for the category to actually be useful to a reader, and would still have been deemed "diffusion required" in virtually any other Wikipedia category tree. Category:Canadian films, Category:French films, Category:German films and Category:Italian films, similarly, were all on the other side of 5,000 films, Category:British films was on the other side of 10,000 films, and on and so forth. There is a point when a category is simply too large and needs to be subcategorized for management purposes, and that point is when the category is populated into the thousands.

Films, further, don't need a "one-stop A-Z category" more than TV shows, novels, albums or people do. Category:Television series by country categories have never been deemed "all-inclusive", such that the base category would need to comprise a comprehensive A-Z list of all television series from that country even if they're extensively subcategorized for genre and time period and originating network — and films don't have a special need for something that television series wouldn't also need. Category:Novels by country categories are not deemed "all-inclusive", and films don't have a special need for different treatment than that. And on and so forth: there's simply no pressing need for film categories to work differently than novels or television series or albums or politicians categories do: if virtually no other category tree in Wikipedia is deemed to require its base country category to function as a comprehensive "all-included" A-Z list of every Wikipedia article in the subcategories, then films simply don't need to be handled any differently than any other topic.

A-Z lists can certainly be created anytime somebody deigns to take on the job, and can still be compiled just as readily from the subcategories as they could from the main category, but that's not a job you get to force other people to do against their will. Bearcat (talk) 18:00, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

But the article says it's a western initially? Looks a good film, I'll have to check it out. The problem now even if we create A-Z lists most people who create the articles won't add them to the list so it'll quickly not become comprehensive. Was there really wide consensus on this involving all members of the FILM project? How many decided this Bearcat? Something of this importance to the infrastructure, all project members should be alerted and asked to participate in a discussion. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:01, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree on 55,000 being massive, but if there is an index table so editors can quickly go to S or Z etc, what was causing the problem? Most of the film lists like Lists of Argentine films now say "visit Category:Argentine films" for an A-Z list... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:05, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Reread what I said about AWB batching being impossible if a category surpasses less than half of 55,000.

And again, why would films need special treatment that other similar categories aren't getting? Why do films need the base national categories to be all-inclusive A-Z lists if television series don't need that, and albums don't need that, and novels don't need that, and politicians don't need that, and actors don't need that, and musicians don't need that, and lawyers don't need that, and lakes don't need that, and rivers don't need that, and mountains don't need that, and on and so forth? Why would it be uniquely more necessary when it comes to films than it is for any other class of topic that isn't handled that way?

And just for the record, the discussion took place on the project talk page, and was open for more than long enough that anybody who cared enough to comment had ample opportunity to contribute their two cents to the discussion, so I'm not engaging in any debate or discussion about that. Bearcat (talk) 18:12, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Albums we typically go by artist and genre but I would argue that it would be very useful to have a big parent category or A-Z list by country of TV series too. We do have Categories for mountains, rivers and lakes etc by country, and I would argue that even if we split into regions one big A-Z category is great for navigation for those who want it. I have argued that Categories of settlements should try to list settlements in a comprehensive way too as Populated places in xx by area but the system has gone back to people creating village categories. OK, the American list was too large, agreed, but was there technically any real issue with the index for most of the categories including the Argentine one? When you have to browse through seven categories to find films in Category:Argentine thriller films alone, that's not useful IMO.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:18, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

I do think an A-Z list in the article space would be better than a category, as they would be more visible on one (or a few pages in the larger list cases) page instead of scrolling through 200 each page, I argued that 15 years back and people said it was redundant because of the categories. The issue is that many editors will create articles and not know about the list. Coding a bot to add new entries to a list could technically be done but could also cause problems with films produced involving a lot of countries. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:27, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Lugnuts and Bearcat: thanks very much for answering in my stead, and my apologies for being unavailable all day. (I've been crossing three states today, beginning in a fourth and ending in a sixth after lashings of a fifth, and I really should be abed by now.) I think you've stated the case better than I can. I will only add that it always troubled me, a bit, that the films-by-nationality categories were non-diffusing given their size; I think many of them, not just the ones listed above (I'm thinking French, for instance, and German, and Spanish as well) rapidly became too large to wade through comfortably. I think paring them down is much more helpful in the long run. That said...I do agree with Dr. Blofeld that some of the newer categories are a tad too narrow, and may want reconsidering. But I think that's an argument for another day, and I think the current system is, in the long run, an improvement over its predecessor. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 07:58, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Too big to wade through if you are browsing it in 200 per page, I agree. Some with a few thousand like the Argentine one with the index I think was still OK. I don't object to splitting by genre but I think there should be the option on here for editors to view all films from that country in an A-Z format. In terms of browsing I think we'd be much better off with lists than categories for this, but I wish I had known about this change as I would have said to copy the category to a list before you start splitting. Is there any way now to generate a list of films from all the sub categories? We should have an A-Z list of films by country if we no longer have categories.. Enjoy your break Steve, no Dominican Republic this year?.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:47, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Perhaps Erik can suggest a way in which we can create A-Z lists of films by country?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:50, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Nope - Iowa and points west. (About to go to West Branch to visit Herbert Hoover.)

I would say: if you want a list of all films from a certain country, it's generally fairly easy to generate using a couple of the available tools. Shouldn't take too long if you want to work it up.

And I hear what you're saying, but to me 1,000 articles in a category is borderline problematic at best; if we have a category that large (and we do, quite a few) I think it's important to start thinking about how it can be broken up. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 15:45, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Excellent. Well, I was thinking in terms of using the index feature to quickly go to a letter rather than scrolling through each page. I suppose if you have to scroll through over 5 pages it starts to get tedious and you have a point. If somebody could use one of the tools to create lists by country which can be put in the mainspace that would be a great help. As long as we have something which allows editors and readers to be able to view the films in one place.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:35, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: That's a possibilty, certainly, but I think those lists are going to have to be broken down alphabetically, at least for some of the larger countries. I don't see a list of 50,000+ items for American films, for instance, being viable. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:13, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

What about something like Category:2010s Argentine films by decade? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:14, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: I seem to recall discussion of something of the sort, but perhaps my wits are woolgathering. I need to look into it further when I have a moment, but that's certainly one possibility.

I just asked at WP:Film. I think most countries would be doable by decade. Maybe not the US though. There'd be 12 or 13 decade categories typically for many countries, more or a bit less for others. Roseman Covered Bridge looks a nice place BTW, Madison County, Iowa. Clint and Meryl! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:54, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

I was drinking cider in Madison County last night. Didn't go looking for any of the bridges, though. I'm spending a couple of nights at the opera in Indianola. I'll take a look at the film discussion. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:29, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

WP:CATV

Regarding frequent and pervasive edits such as this one, I would kindly request that you check what facts are documented in the article and backed by reliable secondary sources. In this particular case, there was absolutely no mention of Zucker's heritage or religion in the article at all, so I'm bewildered as to how you decided to attach that category to him. Elizium23 (talk) 03:08, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

@Elizium23: He was listed in Category:Jewish American state legislators in Maryland, which is how he came to be in my list. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:29, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Thanks... yeah, I'd advise caution there, considering how I was able to decimate that category. Since Wikipedia is not a reliable source, we can't depend on existing categories to adhere to WP:CATV. Without existing material in the article to support them, categories should be removed rather than multiplied, IMHO. Elizium23 (talk) 04:38, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

I have a tendency to assume good faith, as I've frequently seen the category supported by a piece of information that has since been deleted, leaving the category a stray. But I take your point, and I do try to catch stuff when I can. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:39, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Hey Ser Amantio di Nicolao how are you doing tonight? Quentbon Zemro (talk) 05:33, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Can you do something for the horror film article since there's already a history of horror films article can you remove all the decade contents from its history section it'll make much more room on there same thing for the history section of the science fiction film article. Quentbon Zemro (talk) 05:37, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

@Quentbon Zemro: No. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:39, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

All the decade contents is taking up much room on the history sections of both articles that's why there's articles about their history. Quentbon Zemro (talk) 05:39, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

I have a better solution why don't you break the 2010s to present content into a 2010s content and a 2020s content for the history section of the horror film article just like what you did for the 2010s section and the 2020s section of the history of horror films article you've done it before.

August songs

Enjoy your vacation! - I meant to send flowers to you when I saw Ser Amantio on stage, in 21st century-outfit ;) -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:45, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

ps: 17 July, and Gianni Schicchi was world class, also in Il tabarro, and Giorgetta the same - had written her article a while ago. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:48, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: That's an awfully good cast. I've never actually seen Il tabarro or Suor Angelica live; both times I've seen Schicchi it was paired with something else.

Just got home after a nine-hour-plus drive from Indianapolis, so I'm headed to bed shortly. But I had a nice trip - three performances at Des Moines Metro Opera and two at Santa Fe Opera. My first time at both - I'll be back, definitely. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:07, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

that's good news, what did you see where? - I heard Andreas Scholl yesterday, in concert - article written with Eric Corbett (who changed his user name during the process) - those were the days --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:11, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: At Des Moines:

• A Thousand Acres by Kristin Kuster and Mark Campbell - reasonable, as far as contemporary operas go. Don't see it having much of a future. Excellent cast.
• A Midsummer Night's Dream by Benjamin Britten - my first exposure to the piece. An absolute delight. Again, excellent cast (keep an eye out for Tamara Gura, if you have the chance - a very fine contralto.)

• American Apollo by Damian Geter and Lila Palmer - intriguing, has a lot of potential. I was quite taken with the short version. DMMO has commissioned an evening-length version for 2024 and I'm seriously considering attending.

At Santa Fe:

• Falstaff - a disappointment. Rather pedestrian all around, to be honest; I wanted more from the performance.
• M. Butterfly by Huang Ruo and David Henry Hwang - I wanted more from this. It has potential, but I think it requires a fair amount of reshaping before it will be a more viable work. Good, solid cast with a stunning countertenor at center - Kangmin Justin Kim. I look forward to hearing more from him.

Not a bad haul, all told. And next weekend we have Susannah at Wolf Trap. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:36, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

You remind me of a friend who came to visit from Canada, and wanted opera, and I asked Otello in Frankfurt or La Traviata in Wiesbaden? and he said: both, of course. - We had two in common, did you see? I'll write about the Ukrainian baritone who was Demetrius one of these days. Our Madama Butterfly and the director were already on the Main page, - not the tenor yet, - problem: he was sick in the premiere so no review. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:34, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Ah, no. Not Madama Butterfly...M. Butterfly, after the play by David Henry Hwang. It was a world premiere, actually.

As for Midsummer, it was my first prolonged exposure to the piece, and I'm in love - I always loved most of Britten's operas, and it's no exception. And it was beautifully done, too. DMMO performs in the round, and that makes for a very engaging evening. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:28, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! - today: "my" concert of the year (so far) is on the Main page, but not pictured, and I don't understand why --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:06, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: For variety, perhaps? It's been ages since I did anything with DYK, honestly - I don't get involved there any more. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:20, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

One reason given was that the pic of the choir isn't about the bold topic (the piece Salmo 150), and another that the choir wasn't pictured singing that piece, - as if they'd look any different singing another. (I'd never disturb a concert by picture taking, so it was of course of the encore, Dona nobis pacem, an arrangement that Bach's 16th successor had made of Bach's Air.) - I'll try again with the next piece, Mendelssohn ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Request for 'List' categories, please?

Dear Ser Amantio di Nicolao,
At your convenience, please would you assist me by adding one or more appropriate categories to the list article I have just moved: List of candidates for the Man in the Iron Mask? I have looked for categories such as "Lists of prisoners" or "Lists of people imprisoned for life" but don't seem to be able to find any such. Thank you so much for your consideration and helpful support, whenever convenient.
With kind regards;

Dear colleague,
Thank you so much for your prompt and most helpful assistance with this! I can see the new categories you put in place, and I have now propagated them into all the relevant articles. I am so grateful to you for taking the time to help, as I am certain I would have struggled to do what's required, or even to understand how to do it! Maybe one day I'll learn how to use HotCat but, for now, thank you once again for your much-valued assistance!

With kind regards; Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(become old-fashioned!) 13:37, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

@Pdebee: Thanks very much. I can highly recommend HotCat - I have learned a lot about categorization from using it over the years. And what I especially like is that it automatically suggests categories when you begin typing...so if you're not sure of a title, it can help you figure that out. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:22, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

You're most welcome. And thank you also for recommending HotCat; I'll invest some time in learning about it and see what happens, although I only worry about categories when I am creating an article and, this time, the arcane nature of the subject made it somewhat difficult to find the appropriate ones. Thanks once more for your helpful assistance!

Bridget (Guilty Gear)

Hey man, I wanted to ask an unbiased admin to come in and help with this page. There's been multiple back-and-forth arguments since the character has been released, but the bottom line that was established is that there's not a concrete answer due to lack of information from the Japanese version from how they're marketing Bridget and how it conflicts with the English version. User:Yndtbt made a very in the middle change to the article and User:TheresNoTime, who I found out is an admin, almost immediately changed it and shut down any attempts to listen to reason. User:TheresNoTime also identifies as Trans, which leads me to believe that they are letting their personal bias and feelings affect their decision-making and ability to listen to reason, and as such, I don't feel they should have the ability to abuse their admin power. Until Arc System Works comes out and gives an official answer, there's been enough of an argument to change Bridget's page back to the way it was, especially since the primary people who keep insisting that the page be left the way it attack other users like this, "cope harder dip shit sockpuppet that only ever posts on this one page. FemaleCorrin (talk) 04:35, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]" (this was on the Talk page for Bridget). I would greatly appreciate if you, an unbiased 3rd-party, could come in and help out with this and allow the changes of Bridget's identifiers back to male and allow the revision that User:Yndtbt did for Bridget's page. SPiR1000 (talk) 22:16, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

@SPiR1000: This is not a field in which I have any particular interest or knowledge, so I'm going to defer to other editors. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 22:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

@SPiR1000: What's your relation to Yndtbt, given that you're a brand new account immediately wading into this dispute? Is this making the rounds on Twitter/Reddit/etc. again, or were you specifically asked to come make this comment? — TheresNoTime (talk • she/her) 00:38, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

With all due respect, grow up, Sammy. Wikipedia accounts can be made any day, but the people behind them weren’t born yesterday.

As a Japanese transgender woman, I find your utter lack of neutrality conspicuous. My edit reverted Bridget’s gender to the factually supported one given the original Japanese version of -Stride-, and even conceded that the localization of it seems to change him into a trans female (and pointed out how it’s transphobic). I could discuss this matter with you on some other platform, but the gist of it is that whatever can be explained by Bridget struggling with a female transgender identity can be explained better by Bridget struggling with his female outer appearance not matching his internal male gender identity.

Judging by the fact that you resort to ad hominem about the ages of the people arguing against your position, instead of countering the contents of their arguments, you’re not in any position to exercise moderation on Bridget’s article. Conflict of interest and everything.

And even if you’re trans as your Userpage says, and assuming that Bridget was intended to be a trans woman in the English version, you SHOULDN’T support how the character is written. The character was raised as a girl unwillingly, a pretty close parallel to gender conversion therapy, an inhumane and discredited form of “therapy”. Yndtbt (talk) 10:36, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

"And even if you’re trans as your Userpage says" — my user page does not say that? "you SHOULDN’T support how the character is written" — I have no idea how the character is written. Not read a single bit of whatever this series is. First I heard of it was when this disruption started. I have no motive in this, as I couldn't care less how a fictional character is written — you clearly do, and you're allowing your fandom to dictate how you edit to push a point of view. — TheresNoTime (talk • she/her) 13:08, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

I understand, then can you at least defer to other editors who can be unbiased in this matter? I brought this to your attention because I felt an admin is abusing their authority in regards to this page and is purposely letting their emotions dictate their thoughts. It's seen as plain as day when they dismissed the user I mentioned revision and called it "disruptive editing" and said people were just making their rounds again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly and have a great day. SPiR1000 (talk) 22:47, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

@SPiR1000: I am not going to get involved one way or the other. Furthermore, I don't know TheresNoTime, but I have no reason to believe that they are allowing personal bias to get in the way of their behavior, and I am not going to revert them simply because you feel that way. I would caution you in future against assigning motives to other editors like that; it does not reflect well on you, and makes other editors far less likely to be sympathetic to your position.

I do agree that certain language on the talkpage is less than ideal, but I would prefer to let other editors already involved in the discussion deal with that. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 02:08, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

@TheresNoTime: I'm gonna respond to both inquires you left. I have no relation to Yndtbt. I'm just tired of seeing this shit continue on. I figured after a certain point, where we didn't have concrete confirmation from the Japanese devs, who kept avoiding the issue, that Bridget's page can be reverted back to how it initially was; enough arguments had been made in favor of it. Yndtbt had made neutral enough changes to satisfy both sides until an official consensus was brought to light and yet, you came in, both times it happened, and reverted changes both times. Your user page doesn't say your trans, but it does say you're part of the LGBT community, so it doesn't make sense why you keep fighting this, especially when the person who has been changing Bridget's page to occupy both sides of the argument COMPLETELY OUTED THEMSELVES AS A TRANS PERSON.

You say you don't have any interest in this character or series, only heard about it when everything started going down, and that you have no motive and couldn't care less how a fictional character is written. If that is the case, then why do you keep reverting back changes made to make the page ultimately more neutral?! Since you said you don't care, let me remind you: there is no clear consensus for how Bridget is supposed to be referred to. Even if he is referred to as a girl for the English version, it's hotly debated that him referring to himself as a girl in the Japanese version is a tongue-in-cheek way that feminine boys do in Japan (as in, not seriously at all), and nobody, not even the Japanese devs who made him, refer to him at all as a girl in Japan. You wouldn't care about this, but you care enough to revert back changes made by people with no ill-will. Otherwise, why would you go out of your way to block Yndtbt's editing privileges, since you viewed it as a "personal attack"?

Nothing I said was a personal attack, I was simply stating facts. You clearly have some bias on this subject, otherwise you would have left the changes as they were. That article you listed at the end of your 2nd message had a very good point: "All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic." Both times that Yndtbt made changes were with this principle in mind, which you didn't seem to care about. I didn't want to bring this up to you, because it would have been the same as talking to a wall, plus you would have just tried to ban me or shut me down because you would have taken any criticism for how you're handling things as an attack. That's why I went to an unbiased 3rd party to try and get some help, because nothing would have changed with you constantly looming over Bridget's page like a hawk. I don't care how long you've been an admin, how long you've been on Wikipedia, or how many thousands of edits you've made, people change over time and you're showing that by going against the very principle of Wikipedia, shutting down any attempts of discussion and abusing your authority because of ill-conceived notions you think we have against you, when all we're trying to have is discussions and have you listen to reason. You think I'm wrong on everything I've stated? Then prove me wrong and let Yndtbt's changes stay until we have a clear concise answer on how Bridget should be referred to. Until then, you can try to silence me in any way you want, but nothing that I've stated is wrong and you can't change or revert that no matter how much you try. SPiR1000 (talk) 16:39, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

@SPiR1000: What do you want me to do, honestly? The above is now just accusing me of The Wrong Version — that, I'm afraid, is something I can do nothing about. If there is there is no clear consensus (something which I agree with you on) then I am very sorry, but the onus is on you to get consensus to make the changes. In a dispute, which this is, the status quo remains. I would caution you to calm down, stop shouting, and quit with attributing malice where there is none. — TheresNoTime (talk • she/her) 16:52, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

@SPiR1000: my above comment notwithstanding, I'm not going to edit the article again and will remove the edit protection from it — consider my hands washed of the damn thing — TheresNoTime (talk • she/her) 16:55, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Why are you removing all the video game articles from the "Video games developed in Japan" and "Taito games" categories?

Lately, I have a feeling that you've removed most of the video games from the "Video games developed in Japan" and "Taito games" categories. It kinda bugs me to no end. Are you removing the categories for a reason? Please let me know, okay? --Angeldeb82 (talk) 23:42, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

@Angeldeb82: The articles from which I have removed categories are already in subcategories of those categories. For instance - all of the Taito games I removed are in the subcategory Category:Taito arcade games. Similarly, with the articles from the categories such as Category:Taito games: that category is a subcategory of Category:Video games developed in Japan, so there's no reason for them to be in both, per WP:Categorization. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:29, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Names of towns

I want to report user:Mai-Sachme who changes names as he wants at towns which stay in Italy such as Ortisei and Bressanone: I moved titles of articles in correct manner but he is an edit warrior. Under Italian law, official name is Bressanone-Brixen or Brixen-Bressanone but that person ever removes Italian name and same situation persists on Ortisei. Ciao Staiolone (talk) 7:18, 7 September 2022 (UTC) 5.90.5.170 (talk) 07:18, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

I am user Staiolone: in this moment my IP is 5.90.5.170 Staiolone (talk) 07:27, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

@Staiolone: Have you attempted to discuss this with the user, either here or on the talkpage for the article? --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 13:02, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

The official website [4] for Ortisei does call it Chemun de Urtijëi though has comune.ortisei in the web address and I would have thought that Ortisei would be preferable for an Italian place name on En Wikipedia.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:05, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Staiolone, there is a Wikipedia policy, that deals with the question. Please read WP:NBZ. Cheers, Mai-Sachme (talk) 15:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

your link confirms that you are wrong: you have to use two languages ​​that are Italian and German according to Italian law regarding names of towns because South Tyrol is a territory in Italy. Furthermore I did not remove names in double languages, but you are obsessed against only Italian names of towns which stay in Italy: your hate against Italian language is blatant and absurd regarding this point, which is under laws by Italian government. These are links of official sites https://www.brixen.it/it%20 and https://www.comune.ortisei.bz.it/it Ortisei is only in Italian language and Brixen-Bressanone is in double languages--Staiolone (talk) 17:00, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Please read the last sentence on WP:NBZ: Therefore, articles about locations in South Tyrol are placed according to the language of the linguistic majority. The policy has been implemented consistently for one and a half decades by now. Mai-Sachme (talk) 18:24, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Rule is this: "We recommend choosing a single name, by some objective criterion, even a somewhat arbitrary one. Simple Google tests are acceptable to settle the matter, despite their problems; one solution is to follow English usage where it can be determined, and to adopt the name used by the linguistic majority where English usage is indecisive".--Staiolone (talk) 06:26, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

5,000,000+ edits... how?

I am in awe over your ability to have made 5,000,000+ edits. Can you teach me your ways? It is not simply about "making a high number of edits", but I am impressed by this level of productivity and would love to help build on the encyclopedia in some manner as you have! — Moops ^⋠T⋡ 04:34, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

@Oopsemoops: Thanks for the kind words, but really, there are no "ways" to teach. Part of it is that I've found a manner of editing that works for me; part of it is simply that I've had this account for 16 years, so there's been plenty of time for me to rack edits up. The best way to contribute is to find something that works for you and to plug away at it. What I'd recommend for starters is simply to lurk on a few pages and watch - that way you can learn the editing syntax, and you can suss out what sorts of things you'd most like to be involved in. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:33, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

@Oopsemoops: Information about AutoWikiBrowser is here. As for categories: it's really a lot of watching and learning, simple as that. Trial and error - figuring out what articles make sense in which categories, which I usually do by observing the kind of categories that exist on other articles. That's the best place to start with understanding categorization, I find. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:12, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

There was an article written about you in 2018, as I am sure you know, that said that you were able to use some tool to do 500+ edits per day, I am assuming that tool was AWB. Also, that you were able to publish multiple edits without actually hitting the "publish" button 5,000,000+ times. Is that true that AWB will publish multiple edits with a single click, if configured correctly, and that the article that mentions your work was referring to AWB? TY. — Moops ^⋠T⋡ 21:51, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

@Oopsemoops: Yes, AutoWikiBrowser is one tool that I use. Another is Cat-a-lot, which is the tool that can publish multiple edits simultaneously. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Metropolis (1927 film)

Thank you for sorting categories all around! - Today I met two places of higher education that don't have cats yet: Musikhochschule Lübeck and Leopold Mozart Centre. - This rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and that day in 2022 was full of music, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto (my brother played in the orchestra), and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:42, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

I don't have much to report at this end, except that choir rehearsals have started up again; we're looking at Magnificats by Isabella Leonarda, Dietrich Buxtehude, and an anonymous Bolivian (edited by Piotr Nawrot). Also some Ukrainian things and a couple of other small pieces by composers like Margaret Bonds and Kevin Siegfried. (Three of those previously listed are my own articles, incidentally. :-)) The concert season is just starting, but now I've got to figure out what I want to see and where.

For the psalm, I even tackled lilypond, at least for the first 2 measures without text, - DanCherek did the rest, and Michael Bednarek the finishing touch. I couldn't find much about the mass. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:12, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: To be honest, it's less Otello that interests me and more Brownlee - I have been a fan for as long as I can remember, and his performance in Zelmira with Washington Concert Opera in 2019 was one of the most transformative evenings I've ever spent in the theater. He made me reconsider several long-held opinions about Rossini as a composer of serious opera.

We don't usually do any individual pieces important enough to warrant an article, but I've written a few things about some of the composers whose music we've done over the years - Roland Carter, for instance, last year. Piotr Nawrot is a colleague of our director's at Georgetown University - we've performed some of the Bolivian Baroque pieces that he's edited over the years. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:49, 16 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you! - Today, we sang old music for two choirs at church, pictured, scroll to the image of the organ of the month of the Diocese of Limburg (my perspective), and if you have time, watch the video about it --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:23, 18 September 2022 (UTC):::: ... and today I wrote an article about music premiered today, Like as the hart. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:07, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I would say "very nice", but I'm afraid I have more than passing familiarity with Weir's work, so I'll reserve judgment until I hear for myself. :-) I must say I'm intrigued by the James MacMillan, though, that appears to have also been on the program. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 14:15, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

The other now also has an article ;) - travel and strings sound --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:41, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

I created Category:Kronberg im Taunus, but feel there should also be "People from ..." and "Buildings ..." and "Culture ...", - it would be strange to have a town cat for a person. I also believe the town should have more parents, such as Rhine Main so-and-so --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:44, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Do you also sort categories on the commons? Returned from singing Verdi's Requiem with conductor Johannes Schröder on his 31st birthday, I find commons cat Johannes Schröder occupied by a chemist who has no article in English. Help? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:28, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, I saw that you have been working on several wiki articles on classical music. I think it would be great, if there would exist a Wikipedia Article on German (Hamburg) pianist Alexander Krichel and I was wondering if you would want to create one?

@Dreamerofdreams124: Sorry, but I'm not especially interested in singer-songwriters.

I know “You Ain’t Met My Girl” has millions of views and I found him on all music Dreamerofdreams124 (talk) 19:32, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

@Dreamerofdreams124: It depends very much on what sources are available. I would say no...if there's not enough information to write an article there won't be enough to compile a discography. But I would do a Google search to see what turns up. Remember that views are a potentially usable metric, but won't mean anything if there isn't any more information available online.

Question about copyright violation

Primefac has accused me of copyright violation and deleted about 23 of my blockquotes. I feel as if I have walked into a store and been accused of shoplifting. Why am I not totally banned from Wikipedia? I am completely baffled. Please consider the "View history" entries for Birdsey Renshaw. How is the blockquote that has been deleted from the Birdsey Renshaw article not fair use under copyright law? Consider the following Wikiquote article https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Drift_seed — is that copyright violation? Suslindisambiguator (talk) Suslindisambiguator (talk) 08:02, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

@Suslindisambiguator: It looks alright to me, but I've never been the best at figuring out the boundaries for copyright law on Wikipedia. For advice on something like this I usually turn to Diannaa. Personally, I see nothing wrong with the judicious use of blockquotes now and again, but I don't want to steer you wrong. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 12:18, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your response — very helpful. Suslindisambiguator (talk) Suslindisambiguator (talk) 12:33, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Suslindisambiguator, Ser Amantio di Nicolao. Excessive quotations are not a violation of the copyright policy per se, but rather a violation of our non-free content guideline. Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy, stricter in some ways than copyright law itself, because our fair use policy does not allow us to copy material from copyright sources when there's a freely licensed alternative available. In this case the freely licensed material is prose that we write ourselves. In other words, Wikipedia is not intended to be a massive collection of quotes, but rather original prose written by Wikipedians, prose that is eligible to be released under our Creative Commons license, not restricted by copyright in any other way, and available for re-use under license. You hopefully can see why quotations cannot be our default way of editing.

I personally would not perform revision deletion on quotations (though I have done so in the past), but I have removed lots of them myself over time. — Diannaa (talk) 12:37, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

I am not so much concerned about the deleted blockquotes as I am about the deleted references. The actually number of deleted references seems to be rather small (5 to 10 altogether?) — but I would like to examine them. I still think that the questionable articles should have been moved to draftspace. Suslindisambiguator (talk) Suslindisambiguator (talk) 12:49, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

You need to ask the person who removed the quotes. — Diannaa (talk) 13:32, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Photographs from Williamsburg

Last we spoke, I think you mentioned you might want pictures of the Wren Building. Are there any other sites within 10 miles of CW/WM that might need images?

@Pbritti: I can't think of anything else offhand, except maybe a few general campus shots (I'd love eventually to have pictures of every building on campus on Commons); if I do I'll let you know. That being said: do you ever use the "Nearby" feature on mobile? (There's something similar on Wikidata, too, I believe.) I find that useful for noting locations that require illustration.

October music

October songs

Food for thought: I just added Category:Roman Catholic churches completed in the 1080s to today's pictured church. Questions: our article is Catholic Church, - do we need "Roman"? If yes, can we have redirects without that, because who would search for it? When this church was built, Catholic had a different meaning, + this church is no longer Catholic, - wouldn't simply "Churches completed ..." be better, at least for the centuries before the Reformation? Still no end: it was consecrated that year, incomplete. So perhaps "Churches from ...". Last: How about a cat "Churches dedicated to Martin of Tour", - there's St. Martin's Church? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:16, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I know there was a long discussion a few years ago about the terminology, and the upshot was that "Catholic" is preferred to "Roman Catholic". Why the inconsistency, I don't know, but it's more complicated than I want to get involved in. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 22:20, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

Understand, and what do you think about this "completed" thingy. Many churches were never completed. I could imagine just "1083 churches", as we say Category:1971 songs without specifying if that means written or published. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:25, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I believe the categories used to be like that, actually - Category:1994 architecture and the like. I do understand why they were changed...regardless, nothing's perfect, I suppose. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:42, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

You are probably right ;) - today's DYK: two facts from the two concert of this years Rheingau Musik Festival I liked best, both a cappella singing.

Columbia Encyclopedia

I just bought a single volume Sixth and last edition of this, huge book, over 3100 pages. About 51,000 articles. I wanted a good book I could use for finding a very broad range of traditional topics on here. Amazing to think that in print form we'd currently be like 131 volumes of that in terms of number of articles! Though maybe much less given that many articles are still stubs. I don't think you voted on the Wikipedia:Seven-million pool. Sadly my March 5 2023 guess is going to be way off... Unless I get back into sub stubbing again ;-). Now if we could create decent new articles at the rate you edit with AWB we'd do it!! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:56, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

It's a stylish silver book with a box, was valued at $125 in 2000, though I got it for a bargain. Weighs 13 pounds LOL. Enables me to find articles I wouldn't think of searching for on here. Love it. Somebody created 1960s to present categories for that Category:Indian films by decade BTW. You've already done most of the big countries though I think, thanks for that, I appreciate it. 7 million article mark, probably won't be until well into 2025 now I think... ♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:43, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: When I started my last job, I treated myself to a remaindered copy of the New Grove Dictionary of American Music - eight volumes. I haven't used it as much as I'd like, largely because it's so damn heavy I can barely manipulate it. I regret nothing. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 15:01, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

I'd love that, I have the New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, the most comprehensive book for finding jazz musicians. I've already used the Columbia book as a source in Vesoul. I was reading about Uruk earlier. Missing a lot of important articles of course, but very useful for finding core biographies, places and topics I would never find in browsing. It's the most valuable single volume book I've ever seen in my life, a real treasure trove. The box is damaged, that's how I got it cheap! The book is otherwise in near new condition. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Nice. The same source had a remaindered copy of the New Grove Dictionary of World Music as well, but I only have room on my shelf for one. Still, there's plenty for me to d with the other one. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:07, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Told you it was a gem, look what was missing! Jose Glover.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:03, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: Nice. Sorry I missed this the other day - I've been nursing a broken left arm, and I find that my ability to pay attention (or to remember to respond to things) is spotty at best these days. It's improving - I actually wrote this message with two hands, which would have been a chore last week. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Ouch! Hope you have a speedy recovery! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

@Dr. Blofeld: It's getting better - I saw the doctor for the second time yesterday, and I think he was impressed at my progress. I'll have to be in the brace for another month, but it looks like I can get it off once and for all at the end of November. I've been weaning myself off of painkillers for a few days now. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:12, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Cats question

Hey, you're removing numerous English language tv shoes from the Category:English-language television shows. I reverted a few because I thought they may be errors, but then figured I just ask instead. Are these removals correct? Examples:

The Witcher (TV series),

Midnight Mass (miniseries),

Another Life (2019 TV series) &

Jupiter's Legacy (TV series).

Thanks - wolf 14:55, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: All are in the subcategory Category:English-language Netflix original programming - I don't think they need to be in the parent as well, per WP:CATEGORIZATION. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 14:57, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough. I will self-revert those. Thanks again - wolf 14:59, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

Adding African-American category

Hi, I saw you added a couple of African-American categories to Russ Nixon. Based on some googling, I do not think he was Black or African-American, so I have deleted those categories. I did want to check if you had a source for that information, though. SS451 (talk) 22:59, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

@SS451: Offhand I'm not sure - I'd have to look back over the category history to see where it came from. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 23:50, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Requesting REVDEL

Hello Ser Amantio. I'm requesting REVDEL for this edit to the film Supporting Characters. I saw that you were the last person to edit the page before the IP. Seems like a major violation of WP:BLPCRIME, and I couldn't find any information supporting such a bold claim. Thanks. Novemberjazz 17:41, 22 October 2022 (UTC)

Ethyl lauroyl arginate Modifications

Dear Ser Amantio di Nicolao,

I have been through this wikipage Ethyl lauroyl arginate and I think there is some non-accurate information.

The E243 number displayed corresponds to the molecule Ethyl Lauroyl arginate HCl, so HCl should be included in the description and title. As well as in the UPAC name and Other names sections.

The CAS Number that corresponds to E243 is 60372-77-2 not the 48076-74-0.

Could you be so kind to make these changes?

Thank you very much.

MCF19 (talk) 08:41, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

@MCF19: You may make the changes if you wish, as long as you can provide a source for them; I have no particular interest in editing the article, especially as I have scant knowledge at best about chemistry and other sciences. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 05:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Category diffusion and bot-like editing

In this edit, it appears that you violated WP:CATDIFFUSE. Given that you are editing at a rapid pace (e.g. you made 40 edits during the single minute of 04:35, 27 October 2022), the impact of potential errors is magnified. Could you clarify your process and the approvals you received for the task? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:42, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

@Sdkb: Sometimes I catch myself going faster than I intend given the speed of my tools, and I try to slow down when I see it happening. As for diffusion, I'm currently working on a few tweaks to Category:20th-century American academics. I'll be checking it for diffusion in a few minutes. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:46, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

If you are making 40 edits per minute, I presume you are not checking each individual one. And if you are not checking each edit, per WP:BOTDEF, this would make your editing fall into the bot category, not the semi-automated category. Did you receive approval from the bot approvals group for this task? I know that you do this sort of thing regularly, and that getting approval can be a hassle, but we have a process precisely to ensure that errors don't happen once a task is launched at scale. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:52, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

@Sdkb: I have not - frankly, I'm rarely asked about it. I try to keep my editing pace cooler, as I say - sometimes I forget, and I need a reminder to slow down a bit. As for the category diffusion, I've just completed taking care of that. I do have a method there that I prefer to follow. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.}

Proposed deletion of Maaherra

The article Maaherra has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability per WP:GEOLAND. The sv.wiki article to which this is linked only makes a single passing mention of the name Maaherra, so it is unclear whether this is actually even a place.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Creating new Wikipedia page

Hello,@Ser Amantio di Nicolao I have a question, is it possible that you create a wikipedia page for an artist music producer from Macedonia because the artist already has Macedonian wikipedia and my question is, is it possible that he also has it in English, the artist's name is Xsoundbeatz Mirjanjanku3 (talk) 17:06, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

I have no idea how our conductor got the quartet, - only the bass had an article (which had been proposed for deletion), but now all four, - she was last. For Verdi, you better have excellent soloists. For our last, our regular bass who was a member of NDR Chor, brought in two colleagues, a married couple who both did it for the first time, and the soprano was from our town, and now sings in Bayreuth. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:52, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Our director has begun a relationship through his university with the young artists program at Washington National Opera, so we could be getting some future stars out of that.

@Dr. Blofeld: Yeah, I think a redirect would be the right idea. I'll create one in a sec. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 17:55, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Electrical engineers

Why are you removing American electrical engineers from Category:American electrical engineers? SpinningSpark 23:14, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: I only removed the ones in the subcategory Category:American electronics engineers, because they're in the subcat. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 23:15, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Ah, ok I see. But that raises a problem I've seen a number of times before; when a person has worked in multiple sub-fields but we only have one sub-category. For instance, Nikola Tesla has worked on radio transmission and remote control so can arguably be counted as an electronics engineer (although he is not categorised as such) but is best known as an electrical power engineer. What is the right thing to do in such cases? SpinningSpark 13:47, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: Ideally, there should be multiple categories, assuming the multiple fields have had enough notables to populate a category. (i.e.: "American radio engineers", "American electrical engineers", that sort of thing.) Assuming that's not the case...if there are multiple intersecting cases, then I'd consider putting a hatnote up on the category page, so that the casual viewer sees it before attempting to empty the page. Something like "A person might be in category X and category Y at the same time, so please consider that before proceeding further." Otherwise, I might consider marking the category as non-diffusing, though I'd only think of that as a last resort.

Any of that make sense? I'm sort of spitballing here. :-) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 20:52, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dear Ser Amantio di Nicolao,
Thank you for being such a helpful colleague to me earlier this year, with the assistance you gave me in defining some tricky categories correctly. I very much appreciated your prompt and effective guidance, and wanted to record my appreciation at this time, when we have the opportunity to look back on what we learned and accomplished this past year. So: thank you once again for your sense of collaboration, and for your help to me.
I send my very best wishes to you and yours for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2023, in good health, joyful spirits, and a sense of achievement in all that you do, here and in real life.
With kind regards;
Patrick. ツ Pdebee.^{(talk)(become old-fashioned!)} 11:49, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

@Pdebee: Thanks very much for the kind words. I'm always happy to be of help - especially as regards something as arcane and esoteric as categories, which can give even the most longstanding of us editors conniption fits. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and yours as well, and happy editing into 2013 and beyond! --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 13:17, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

You can use this page to start a discussion with others about how to improve the "File:name of file.jpg" page.

Hi, you have added this message in bulk to a lot of RPG cover images that I added the infobox image to eg File:AH-Troll-Gods cover 1989.jpg. Please note that these images are deliberately small and of poor quality to fulfil to "The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book. It is a low resolution image." If a larger image / better quality image is submitted, it is always deleted by the system.

Could you please revert your talk page edits, before someone does try to upload a bigger image and it's auto deleted thanks. Sciencefish (talk) 18:33, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

@Sciencefish: I can look, but I honestly don't know that having a talkpage is going to make a whole lot of difference if someone decides to upload a larger image. Is this something that you've encountered before? --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 18:35, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
