1110:. Keep Inkscape because SVG readers can have problems with files created by specific editors, and because its wide use on hundreds of images suggests many editors find it useful. Why should our judgement supercede theirs? Creation of a "with source code" variant of the Mathematica category is a nice idea, although I would have thought most images here (all except the spikey logo?) should be transwikied over to Commons, so perhaps it should be done there instead. It can be very useful to know what language was to create an image, even without source code, so I don't agree with deletion of the non-source-code version. (I have more experience with R graphics than Mathematica, but I believe the same general conclusions apply.) Raster image editors are more generic than SVG editors or programming languages, and the GIMP category is only used for one image, so I lean towards deleting that (although I note that the corresponding Commons category has hundreds of members). -- 2318:

in the articles and it is also valuable to identify the tributaries, crossings, islands, locks and riverside settlements that fall within the districts and boroughs. I cannot see a simpler way of doing it than by having the specific category which I set up. I see the name as perfectly adequate and it employs a useful term that states its precise significance for this purpose (which is to do with being on the banks of a river). It is annoying that someone has seen fit to lob it into this forum, without having the courtesy to discuss it with me first. It strikes me as odd that those who care so little about the category that they consider it trivial or would happily see it deleted are also so hung up finding different names for it. All I want to do is improve an encyclopedia without unnecessary interference. Can someone just close as "Keep" - it is really not big deal? Thank you

and will be indispensible for a number of other Thames articles that need improving. Responsibility for managing the river itself is down to the EA and PLA - no "probably" about it if you know the subject you are talking about, but that is not what this category is about. If you google you will find countless references to Riparian boroughs particularly from those in this category that proudly identify themselves as such and for a purpose. You will find references to Riparian Boroughs in Hansard for both houses of parliament. One of the best bits of writing I have seen on Knowledge is currently on the Cricket Project talk page with reference to the completely "broken and useless" state of the Category system thanks to the participants in this CFD process.

2266:- there doesn't seem to be a particularly good reason to rename or delete, and a bit of regional diversity doesn't go astray on this thing, especially when those likely to know what it means will find it useful. We in Australia use "local government areas" or LGAs as that is the term universally used in our legislation across a number of jurisdictions and we have no history of using anything else (hell, there were practically none prior to 1870 or so), but the London area has history going back hundreds of years. 2718:-- The Serbian and Croat languages are essetnially the same, but one is written in Cyrillic characters and the other in Roman ones. In this part of the world ethnicity is important and complicated. We are still too close to the time fo the civil wars of the 1990s. Serbo-Croats could be used as a generic term for any speaker of the language, though in the aftermath of the war, this is unlikely to be a preferred term for a Serb, a Croat, a Bosnian or a Montenegrin. 562:. I agree with the nominator: this is undefining, and the category should be deleted. However, the whole "films by topic" genre is fatally flawed, because fictional works often not not about what they are about; they use various forms of imagery to convey and idea by setting a story in a particular time and place. I would happily say "delete" this category, but I don't see that it's much worse than the rest of the cruddy categories which fill 987:. Speaking only for the category that I have used "Created with Mathematica"-- images created by programming languages, often have source code in the comments (I do at least), or the author can be contacted for source code. This allows subsequent readers or editors to recreate, modify, improve etc on the image without creating from scratch. This is only useful if it is easy to identify the source language. 2016:. South Bucks is one of several non-borough district councils, so we have two options: either rename to reflect the actual scope, or remove all the non-borough councils from the category. I think that the category will be more use of readers if it includes all the councils which adjoin the Thames ... but would you prefer it to be restricted only those districts which have borough status? -- 5516:

developers and every expert within this entire field. I, myself personally am not a player (well, I did play, years ago), and would be considered to be a MUD expert. My qualifications for this are that I have owned and operated a MUD for over 15 years, and also authored a public MUD code base, published a printed MUD magazine, and maintained a large archive of MUD source code. --

3349:, unless someone has some evidence that this exact total is a notable achievement. So far I can see evidence that rushing yards are regularly counted by sites such as nhl.com, but no evidence that any particular ceremony or recognition follows reaching this figure. However, I know little about the sport, and I suggest relisting to allow further discussion, of which 5643:"Subsequent discussion has indicated" merely that three or 4 editors assert that point. No evidence whatsoever has been produced that MUD is the COMMONNAME outside of MUD-playing circles: all we have at the RM on that point is assertion, and repeated incivility when evidence is sought for any of the points under discussion. -- 4470:. This is not quite OCAT. It's too small a category to retain, but the convention of categorising as "designated as terrorist" is the consensus NPOV solution to the old long-running dispute over whether to categorise ppl or organisations as "terrorist". The consensus was that since the word terrorist is a highly POV term (see 538:. Virtually every narrative that has a protagonist has an antagonist of some kind. But the fact that in many films, the "villain" is a thief is not a defining characteristic, imo. For proof, I direct you to the six films added to the category since its creation in September: a mix of true crime films with kid comedies like 5082:-- Much as I depreciate abbreviations, the full version is such a mouthful that I think we must keep them for the subcategories, but the full name should ALWAYS be in a headnote (for example by making the general article the main article for them all). The full name should certainly be retained for the parent category. 1965:. Not all members of the category are boroughs (City of London, South Bucks). I can find a variety of definitions of riparian and terms such as "riparian borough" and "riparian district" have been used to denote specific sets of districts. The renaming will remove any doubt about the contents of the category. 6659:

JR West appears to be the English form of their trademarked (as opposed to legal business) name; the other category should be renamed to match this one. Just as, for instance, my city has TransPerth stations but the actual authority involved is the Public Transport Authority, which only public policy

few people will recall what MCC stands for. There is no ambiguity because it is about cricketers. I expect that other MCC categories would need a disambiguator. In practice it used to be the governing body for the English sport or something close to that, so that its activiity was rather more than

which is obscure. Nobody who is unfamiliar with the term MUD would say, "Ahh! If you had said, 'Multi-User Dungeon', I would have known exactly what you were talking about!" While I do agree that "Multi-User Dungeon" is the most correct origin of the term "MUD", for 99% of the MUD community, "MUD"

2332:

The proposals here are to rename the category to a name which more accurately and clearly describes its contents. You can continue to improve the articles even if the category is deleted (which I hope it will not be) or re-named to something bizarre and obscure, and I hope that you will continue that

324:

Sorry, I checked again, and the emptying was indeed done beforehand. However, emptying a category before nominating it isn't that much better, because you still asked people to decide on a category whose contents they couldn't see, and you described it as "empty" rather than as "I just emptied it".

2760:

Agree with Peterkingiron for the most part. It is a little more complicated - many (esp younger) Serbs write their own language in Latin characters - when I was in Beograd it seemed to be accepted as a sadly inevitable state of affairs by people I spoke to. But Serbo-Croat is not a nationality but a

CFD closure, by distributing contents to better categories as far as possible; then delete if empty. Checking sample items produced a WWII resistence fighter (better as Yugoslav); a Serbian actor living in Zagreb (a Serb of Croatia); a Serbian general (Serb); and a 19th-century activist in Dalmatia

Your abuse of participants in the CFD process might be a better justified if you had paid a tried to assume good faith and paid a little more attention to the concerns raised, rather than sneering at them as "boring and bureaucratic". (Not all local govt districts are boroughs, and some boroughs are

This category was created for a purpose which is that a particular editor made a complete mess of one of the Thames articles, and one of the problems seemed to be that he/she did not know what the adjacent boroughs were. (Counties are not such a problem) This will hopefully help me sort out the mess

1982:

Riparian is a useful term which emphasises that they are on the river. Riparian authorities are referred to as such in many contexts and boroughs is broad enough to cover them (City of Westminster?). "Local government districts" - how boring and bureaucratic. Categories are set up by editors with an

6267:

per all the above. In a cricket context, MCC is unambiguous, and it's not just the common name of the club, and it's so widely used that many people who know of the MCC won't know what it stands for. Per Peterkingiron, other MCC categories may need expansion if they don't include the word "cricket"

5582:

You're comparing apples to oranges. The phrase "Multi-User Dungeon" is meaningless to anyone not intimately familiar with the specific history involved. "Dungeon" is the name of the non-commercial version of a single-player text adventure game, much more famously known by its working title (as it

Can you all please leave me to get on with the simple business of improving articles relating to those local authorities in South East England that are situated on the banks of the River Thames. There are important matters such as fluvial flooding and floodplane management that need to be reflected

2216:

You mention "Riparian boroughs" which "proudly identify themselves as such", so I did some searching, and far from being a public proclamation, it's a term which seemed to be used by UK local authorities only in internal documents. If I have missed any evidence of "Riparian boroughs" which "proudly

I see no encyclopedic purpose in categorising images by the software tools used to create them. For most types of image, a wide choice of software may be used to achieve particular effects, and if we start categorising images in this we will logically create a huge set of categories which intersect

all. The software used to create an image is not a defining characteristic of it, and it is of no use either to readers or editors. (An editor wanting to modify the file is not tied to using the same softeware as the craetor, because the images uploaded to wikipedia are either in open formats or in

Thoric, you are describing things from the perspective of the players of such games (I have no idea whether you are a MUD-player, I'm just noting which perspective you have chosen to focus on). Knowledge is not written for players of the game; it is written for a general audience, many of whom may

That's a valid argument, to say that, while "Multi-User Dungeon" may be no more familiar than "MUD" to those remote from the topic, it provides somewhat more of a hint. I'd say this should've been your tack from the beginning. I don't think it's enough to overcome the reasons against a rename,

5053:

Hi Mike. thanks for your good comments. truthfully, i think that both the "MMORPGs in space" and the "sci-fi MMORPG" categories serve a useful purpose. MMORPGs in space are becoming a very specific and unique genre. they have a setting unlike any other. those which are truly in space differ from

and all of its other sub-categories, so if you want to pursue that point I think that there should be a group nomination of them all. However, the "designated as terrorist" formulation is a compromise between editors who wanted to categorise with the unqualified label "terrorist" and those who

There are of course riparian boroughs on other rivers and canals, and as for London, there is a super category of Riparian boroughs of London which includes those on the Lea and Wandle. If you want to be pedantic about names then the City of Westminster should not be in the category of London

5515:

A general audience cannot have a perspective on a subject for which they are unfamiliar, it must be presented to them. The fact of the matter is, that the term to describe the said subject matter is a "MUD". This is the terminology used by players, administrators (or "wizards"), creators,

per Peterkingiron; great in principle, but the result is just too much of a mouthful for use in subcategories. I agree that there does seem to be some scope for mergers or deletions, but I suggest that for clarity any further discussions of mergers or deletions should be left to a separate

Zork variant (i.e. the non-commercial free version of Zork -- a game long forgotten), would have any clue of what a "Multi-User Dungeon" might represent. While some may confuse "MUD" with wet dirt, "Multi-User Dungeon" is no more clear, and could be confused with being associated with the

expansion of the acronym, weigh more heavily, I think. It's also worth considering that "MUD" is necessarily going to be more familiar to non-MUD-players than "Multi-User Dungeon", simply because we say "MUD" when we talk to our non-MUD-playing associates, not "Multi-User Dungeon".

5559:

though. The "pro" is fairly weak; it's not necessary that the name of an article explain the topic to the reader, because that's what the article body is for. The "cons", that "Multi-User Dungeon" simply isn't the common name of the topic, and cannot be unequivocally said to be

5530:

OK, so you're someone heavily involved in Multi-User Dungeons, with a lot of contact with others also immersed in that topic. If, instead, you were deeply involved with Irish farming, you'd talk of the IFA or the ICMSA, and think it mighty odd if anyone expanded those to

Also, is there a reason why the redirect category was placed into a content category? That does not normally happen. 3126:), so I disagree with the the nominator's assertion that the "category is unlikely to be populated". On the contrary, I think that the lack of any stable definition will lead to this category filling up with all sorts of unrelated content. -- 542:

that are more properly categorized as such. In nominating this I admit I'm also reacting to the fact that I think there have been too many films by topic sub-categories (this was mis-categorized under "films by genre") and the awkward name.

3870: 372:

If you think that the categories are duplicates, then the solution is to open a merger nomination. Mergeing first and then bringing a deletion CFD is still asking editors to rubber-stamp a done-deal. --12:07, 8 March 2010

6294: 355:(there are only redirects, no actual articles). And to clarify, because I don't think some of my edit summaries were clear, my edits like the one you cite above were to duplicate, alternately-disambiguated redirects ( 1001:

Ah! That sounds like a non-trivial reason for the category, but it's useful only if the source code is actually in the comments. I'd be happy to keep the Mathematica category if it was renamed to something like

I have to say this constant expansion of acronyms in categories is getting somewhat out of hand. The MCC is, well, the MCC. With "cricket" put next to it, there is zero possibility of a misunderstanding IMO.

Boroughs but that is not the point - the word borough applies to a level of local government that has responsibilities. And it doesn't help to pile in higher and lower levels for the sake of it.
