Maybe the original intention was to create "Squares in Ravenna" that already exists. AlessioMela (talk) 09:53, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Too much subcat; buildings' function are already subdivided in Buildings in Ravenna AlessioMela (talk) 13:04, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, I considered to be divided into various categories relating to buildings according to the functional characteristics as already present for example in other similar subdivisions (see Category:Buildings in Milan by function) in order to insert some images that were likely to remain in the mother category as "minor" religious buildings that the English language does not have a corresponding and precise term of identification. (in italiano un nostro capitello (che non possiamo tradurre in capital perché in inglese in architettura è solo il capitello parte di una colonna è popolarmente tradotto come Madonnas al pari di edicole votive, crocifissi di montagna ed ogni edificio sorto a scopo religioso più piccolo di un oratorio (che per loro è già difficile distinguere lessicalmente da una cappella). Now, since I do not consider myself to be so obtuse to pretend that it is the only solution to the problem, I refer to the decisions of the community who has always wanted to make his contribution. Otherwise I do not see the need to retrace my steps and reminding you to everyone that a category is not born to be a gallery of images. Thank you for your attention.--Threecharlie (talk) 18:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- I see two different topic in your reply:
- 1) buildings' subdivision;
- 2) categorization of some minor archit. images.
- For the first problem I think we can use just Category:Buildings in Ravenna and it's for this reason that I want to remove "your" cat. It's just because I used a similar subdivisions like Category:Buildings in Rome. We have choosed two different reference points ;-).
- For the second problem the solution could be Category:Architectural elements in Ravenna? --AlessioMela (talk) 18:44, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- 1) The use of a category named Buildings in "various geographical context" is to be traced at the origins of en.wiki and all wikimedia projects that have been developed from that context. IMO The original requirement was to have a container for any generic accommodation or working facility and, to this day, is still needed to better manage the bots that hunt in the various sites as Flikcr & Co., but with a human intervention can be more effectively. If I find or take a picture of a rectory is much more interesting to correlate it with various religious buildings (although in this case is much more similar to a simple home)
but also because the barracks are also residential buildings a sub-categorization for military buildings does not seem a useless categorization.
- 2) An architectural element is, always IMO, is only a part of a building or/and a street furniture (although at times appear to be little artistic). A simply plaque plaque inserted into a church facade I believe can be an architectural element, as well as a monument, statue, bust, village pump, relief, etc. etc. For extension a palace, villa, theater, church, is a building, not an architectural element. The ultimate solution would be to use a specific source of architecture where to find certain and conclusive definitions; I fear, however, that at the international level is very difficult, because for exempol, some architectural features typical of Italy are not found in other states, such as cantoria, sagrato, and others who do not remember at this time. I hope that sooner or later you will be able to find a text that can regroup and clarify all kinds of world architecture, and from that extract more precise conventions, but remember discussions about the need for definitions popular for not making more and more inaccessible casual user contribution and without a specific instruction. As you surely have noticed, to try an articulate response in English I must resort several times a vocabulary or on line translators, with results, I presume, sometimes ridiculous. ;-)--Threecharlie (talk) 09:25, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Nominated by User:Vantey for speedy under bad name, I don't consider that rationale to be valid, and this category qualifies now for speedy empty only because User:Vantey emptied it prior to nomination. It may be considered that this category is not needed, however it does not detract from classification by operating company, which is the primary means of differentiation for the parent category, i.e. its an additional category not a substitute one. Perhaps why it is not seen as useful is that its it categorises vertically into the Japan trains category, but not horizontally by interiors worldwide, this is being rectified. KTo288 (talk) 10:32, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- To begin with, in Japan, the format name of the rolling stock is not called the "class" in English. It is a "series" or "type" are terms used to it. The category name "by class" is inappropriate decisively.
- Next, the series and types of the rolling stock in Japan are very large number, the category across the operator is not practical. In fact, to be a parent category: it does not exist "Category:Trains in Japan by class".
- In addition, after it was made on a whim, category members are added little, this category has not been used practically at all.
- Therefore, it should be deleted as a "bad name" category. --Vantey (talk) 14:03, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
Keep. I think Vantey misunderstands the purpose of the category. "Class" here refers to the class of accommodation (i.e. first or second class - or standard/Green class in Japan), not the individual train types. Even if it is not currently used (because it has been emptied by one user), it appears to be a valid and useful category. --DAJF (talk) 08:29, 14 August 2014 (UTC)- Delete. It looks like it was me that misunderstood the purpose of the category, as a look at the comparable category for the UK, Category:Train interiors in the United Kingdom by class, should have revealed. In this case, the absolutely huge number of different train types in Japan will make this rather unwieldy, not to mention that Vantey is right in pointing out that "class" is not really a term normally used to describe Japanese train types, which are mostly classified as "series". --DAJF (talk) 13:25, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

This category appears to be a drive-by category created by a user who uploaded a majority of the images here and mirrors something on Flickr. Nevermind that the category should probably be renamed to "Women who are barefoot and pregnant," but it is very demeaning towards women and comes across as a fetish category that does not belong on this site. I would even support deletion of the images within this category because they add nothing particular in value to the category as a whole. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:55, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- It's been two months here without a response, and I would like to clarify that I would like this category deleted and should have written that from the beginning. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 05:09, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
I would like it to be deleted, the category and the images. "Barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" as a category and phrase is intended to demean women. I shudder at the memes and captions to follow. In addition, do we have the agreement by the women shown here to have their images uploaded?
- Short answer, no. In the first two images, it seems obvious that the subjects knew they were being photographed, and thus consented to the shots. As for the other two images, it does not seem like they knew they were being photographed, although one is unidentifiable. Either way, the last two should be removed per consent violations (creepiness factor not withstanding). Regardless, none of them likely consented (there are no records of an OTRS ticket), but it will be harder removing the first two images compared to the last two.

Looks like a duplicate of Category:Reunification Palace. Keith D (talk) 17:22, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Definitely a duplicate. Both names are in fairly common use, but apparently the official Vietnamese name translates to "Independence Palace", so technically this one is correct. It's a bit of a toss-up whether to merge Category:Reunification Palace into this one or vice-versa. Dunno if it matters, but Category:Reunification Palace has more media, whereas Category:Independence Palace only seems to contain media from the person who created the category.

The term is "octagon house"; see the en:wp article for an example, or the child categories and files such as File:Octagon House, July 2012, Westfield MA.jpg or Category:David Cummins Octagon House. It was previously at the proper title, but Foroa moved it along with many other correctly named titles, and we've had to be cleaning these up for a long time; this discussion is a comparable example. This nomination also includes the child Category:Octagonal houses in the United States and all its state-level subcategories. INeverCry 19:54, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- Well no, I think "octagonal houses" is the more general category of which "octagon houses" is the specific example as referred to in the en:WP article. There are octagonal houses in the UK, but they are not referred to a "octagon houses". Keep Category:Octagonal houses and make Category:Octagon houses a subcategory of it. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:05, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
- INeverCry created this CFD for me due to a weird userrights issue (I wrote the rationale), so it would help if he'd come back and offer an opinion on the nomination, or say that he's neutral. All of these images, as far as I can tell, are indeed octagon houses; it would be silly to have an extra layer of categories for images that don't exist, especially since they can easily go into the octagonal buildings parent category. As far as I know, there haven't even been any images in Octagonal houses, except for File:Octagon-v-square-2.png, which I just removed because it's simply geometric drawings, not a drawing of a house.

- INeverCry & Nyttend: I'm a little confused but perhaps the category tree has changed drastically since 2014.

- Yes, it should be renamed to "Octagon houses", and the subcategories too, because that's the standard term for this kind of house. There's no need for a separate category for places with "Octagon House" in the name, as far as I can tell, because (1) there's no fundamental difference between them and other octagon houses, and (2) the design is different enough that almost all such houses have the "Octagon House" in the name, whether formally or informally, so having a separate tree for them wouldn't particularly help navigation. Nyttend (talk) 00:37, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure that this is a useful category, given that it may have quite a wide scope, and that the term is somewhat outdated. If it includes any microprocessor-based computer, then all modern computers would be included, which makes Category:Computers by type less useful. --ghouston (talk) 10:21, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- Although no longer commonly used the term is well understood, by us oldsters at least, to mean a a small computer from before the time computers of the x86 instruction set/IBM PC compatiable/Microsoft OS type became the default standard for personal computing. Although technically you're correct that all computers use microprocessors, the term has as much to do with marketing and the positioning of these systems in the marketplace computers were mainframe, mini and micro; with micro alluding to the fact that they were small and cheap as much as to the fact that they used microprocessers. Also there are multiple articles using the same name in each of the language wikipedias, with this category having also an equivalently named category at Wikipedia, renaming breaks the direct link between how the files are categorised in Commons and how they relate to articles and categories in other projects, this is something we're going to have to think more about as Wikidata "In other projects links" will go active for Commons later this month.--KTo288 (talk) 17:23, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, I remember the days when computers where classified as mainframe/mini/micro. Wikipedia now says microcomputers should be small and inexpensive, in addition to containing microprocessors. Then in the history we've got no action from 1979 until the introduction of the Raspberry Pi in 2012. "Small and inexpensive" isn't a very clear distinction to base a category on. If it's only supposed to contain pre IBM PC compatibles then could the name be changed to something more specific? I can't think of much offhand. Maybe something like "6502-based personal computers" and "Z-80-based personal computers"? Or maybe use Category:1970s personal computers, etc., which already exist? --ghouston (talk) 07:12, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think the lack of a category for an article that exists in Wikipedia is a problem, if it's simply organised differently in Commons. It could be retained anyway as a disambiguation category or redirection. --ghouston (talk) 07:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

This nomination also includes Category:Demolished bridges; if it's possible to nominate multiple categories at once (without manual editing), I'm unaware of it. The nomination is based on Commons:Categories for discussion/2013/03/Category:Demolished buildings. The distinction between the two categories isn't at all helpful to many reusers; if you're looking for a no-longer-there bridge, you probably don't care why it's no longer there. Morever, it's confusing to us uploaders, because sometimes you don't know why a bridge is no longer standing; the subject of Category:KY49 Rolling Fork River Bridge clearly isn't standing (Kentucky Route 49 spans the Rolling Fork River on an ugly concrete bridge, with no truss bridges visible at the location), but I have no clue why it's gone. Why should I need to know why it's gone in order to categorise it properly? I'm going to request a merger of demolished into destroyed, but based on the CFD for the demolished buildings, I'll not object if people want to convert the demolished bridges into something parallel to Category:Buildings destroyed by demolition.

- The "Former buildings" categories were intended for buildings that had changed usage, instead of being destroyed. I don't think it's needed for bridges. Category:Destroyed bridges works regardless of the method of destruction. Categorising by method of destruction could be done, e.g., bridges destroyed by accidents, or the existing category for bridges destroyed by demolition, but perhaps this kind of additional information is excessive for Commons and is better recorded in Wikidata. --ghouston (talk) 01:59, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
- There's also Category:Former bridges... — Ipoellet (talk) f.k.a. Werewombat 04:12, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
- I definitely support merging this into one category, preferably under Category:Former bridges because it's useful to have a catch-all that also includes bridges which are disused but extant. Subcategory structure should handle fate (abandoned but standing versus damaged versus destroyed, possibly method of destruction, and ruins), location (country level, and probably state level in the US with all the HAER listings and so on), and type. I'm willing to perform the merger if that's preferred; admin tools might be useful here since there will probably be deletions. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:12, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

- Former bridges or Defunct bridges sound like a really good parent category for all the others. We should all be careful not to mix any of them up though. A bridge like the Chain of Rocks Bridge isn't like your average rickety old bridge in New England, and the Harlem River Railroad Bridge and I-35W Bridge in Minneapolis are nothing like the 1953 Col des Nuages derailment or the Mostar bridge. ----DanTD (talk) 22:08, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

- Is there any point in merging Category:Destroyed bridges and Category:Demolished bridges if we are just going to recreate Category:Demolished bridges as a subcategory? We may as well make it a subcategory now. I don't like Category:Former bridges, I suggest moving any destroyed buildings in that category into Category:Destroyed bridges and creating a new Category:Disused bridges for bridges that are still standing. I think a disused bridge is still a bridge, not a former bridge. --ghouston (talk) 07:06, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
- Category:Disused bridges probably isn't needed given that Category:Abandoned bridges and Category:Derelict bridges exist. I think the two things that can be done here are 1) make Category:Demolished bridges a subcategory of Category:Destroyed bridges, possibly renaming it to Category:Bridges destroyed by demolition, and 2) get rid of Category:Former bridges by merging its contents into categories I've already mentioned. --ghouston (talk) 05:10, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

In the meantime, I've had some fun dismantling Category:Former buildings by country, as decided at Commons:Categories for discussion/2014/06/Category:Former buildings by country. Firstly, it would be silly to recommend having a "Former bridges" category, when it was decided to get rid of it for buildings. A "former" bridge is almost always a "destroyed" bridge. Secondly, the distinction between "Destroyed" and "Demolished" really isn't helpful at all. They are basically synonyms. Even if you want to count "demolished" as only those structures that are intentionally rather than accidentally destroyed, it's usually the case that a building that's basically destroyed by fire or whatever will exist in some form, and will still end up getting demolished. I'd say it doesn't matter much whether any particular category is called "demolished" or "destroyed", and it would be a waste of time mass renaming them, but we shouldn't have duplicates for the same structure / location. If both exist, I'd merge the "demolished" version into the "destroyed" version, keeping "destroyed" as the name at the top of the tree. It's also fine to keep specific categories for interesting events like bridges destroyed by fire, floods, tornadoes, war damage etc. --ghouston (talk) 09:53, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- Actually it would be perfectly feasible to rename all the "demolished" bridge categories to "destroyed": there aren't many of them, compared to buildings. --ghouston (talk) 10:14, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- This discussion is based in part on a lack of understanding of the terms "former", "demolished", "destroyed", "damaged", etc.
- former: the entity changed state, it was formerly in a different state - used in a compound term we usually get to know something about the previous state, but nothing about the new state (which may be a repurposed, damaged, destroyed, legally disused, etc. one).
- demolished: the entity received heavy damage, to the point that it cannot be used anymore for its original purpose.
- destroyed: this is to some degree synonymous to demolished, but more often used in war context, i.e. if the demolition occured by military equipment rather than civil one
- dismantled: the entity was taken down in a way that it may be re-assembled at another site. (destroyed in an orderly fashion).
- damaged: the entity is often still usable, but the structure is impaired to a certain degree
- repurposed: the main use of the entity changed
- While former tells us something about the previous state of a thing, the rest interludes to statements about the new state. --84.133.89.229 23:14, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
- This discussion is based in part on a lack of understanding of the terms "former", "demolished", "destroyed", "damaged", etc.
- It's not so much a lack of understanding of terminology, but terminology that's vaguely defined and used in different ways in different places and different times. If you have a link to an external source that backs up your definitions, it would help. --ghouston (talk) 00:09, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- We should also try to be in synch with other Wikimedia projects, especially Wikidata. Enwiki describes en:Demolition as intentional destruction, but we still have the situation that buildings "destroyed by fire" are subsequently demolished. --ghouston (talk) 00:52, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
Okay, three and a half years later, I'm going to boldly close this damn thing. I'm merging Category:Demolished bridges into Category:Destroyed bridges; separation of the two is meaningless for our purposes. Commons is to store media so that it can be found and used, not to make as many trivial distinctions as we can. For that reason, I'm also merging several other parallel categories.

Rename in roof drainage. Drainage of soil is more in Category:Drainage. thx vanGore (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
- I wonder if these kinds of drainage pipes might connect to things other than roofs. Any building structure that isn't totally verticle might have a drain pipe, no? Maybe we could just add a description at the top, and a link to Category:Drainage for drainage unrelated to architecture? - Themightyquill (talk) 11:52, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- @ Themightyquill. That sounds like a good solution to add that text description and link. I might be wrong but I can't think of other instances of drain pipes (ie drainage down pipes) being associated to anything other than roofs or vertical-ish walls, and all users who added files to this cat, added pics of water or waste down pipes from roofs or springing from walls, so it appears reasonably descriptive and generally understandable. However, 'Drain pipes' appears under (therefore subservient to), the cat 'Gutters', which seems a bit odd. There might be a case for adding a major cat of 'Roof drainage' with sub-cat stuff such as Gutters, Drain pipes and Gargoyles etc., but I think this might be a bit overdoing it. Acabashi (talk) 17:39, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Acabashi: Actually, I think creating Category:Roof drainage as a new category (in Category:Drainage and Category:Roofs) with sub-categories might make sense. Category:Gutters is for road gutters, so it shouldn't be connected at all.

Agree, according to the English Wikipedia article, the category name should either be Jaime, Duke of Madrid or Jaime de Borbón y de Borbón-Parma.

I think this category desperately needs some agreement as to what it should contain. I see another contributor removed Category:Water transport in New York from Category:Tugboats in New York, without any explanation, but presumably because they thought a tugboat is a boat. I suggest that what most people think of as a "boat" is a pleasure craft. I think including working vessels in this category is confusing and unhelpful. Alternately, we could have a specific subcategory, or subcategories for recreational vessels. Geo Swan (talk) 14:58, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Done: tweaking of category tree. P 1 9 9 ✉ 15:29, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
I believe we've had a discussion before about categories for individual (modern) trains. Except in very exceptional circumstances, no single unit is different from any other and warranting of its own category. That is certainly not the case for these units - 2/3 of them don't even have any files and none has ever done anything noteworthy.
UK trains have systems for categorisation by class, operator, livery and line. While I don't doubt that having the number listed on the filepage is useful, having a category is not useful in my mind - it's unlikely that anyone will ever want a picture of a particular unit, and frankly there's enough category dispersion already (what with the four streams of categorisation). If someone does ever want a photo of 334035, the sensible thing would be to just search for it.
Furthermore, the category names, eg "British Rail Class 334035" are malformed. We use "British Rail" by convention, but it's a class 334, not a class 334035. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:04, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- Personally I think these categories are useful though I would not create categories for which we have no content, On the contrary every unit is physically a different object to the others. whether any of the units has done anything noteworthy is entirely subjective and one cannot know what will happen in the future. The existing category structure for trains in the UK fails in so many ways and is the product of a few people who have not listened to any other users opinions and have railroaded (Forgive that pun) their particular scheme through to the detriment of all other users who wish to use the UK trains categories. Similar category schemes to this exist for aircraft, ships, buses and non UK trains, therefore it is a suitable scheme to have on Commons and is consistent with the ways things are usually done on commons, unlike the existing UK trains category structure which seems to have been designed by someone more at home at Wikipedia. personally I can see no use in having a category for the operator, that would be better placed in the description, the livery category is not of any use when all the units have only ever worn one livery and the line category is only of use if you are familiar with the exact names used here for the many individual lines. I'm afraid these categories are not useful to the majority of users here, they are only useful to a few people who are familiar with them. What should always have been done is a category scheme by number, it is to the majority of users detriment that this was not done and that the original category architects can't now recognise or admit this fact.
- I agree however that the names are malformed, but this is a minor problem, all you have to do is state the class name then the number so that Category:British Rail Class 334002 becomes Category:British Rail Class 334, 334002 this would be an easy task that would put the structure inline with those used for Diesel Locomotives etc Oxyman (talk) 12:43, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

- Well, the point of having a category for the class by operator is that the alternative is a flat category of "Trains of (Operator)", which would quickly become unmanageable. The point of the livery is that it's a major part of an operator's identity. The point of line is that if you want photos of a particular railway line, you likely want photos of trains on that line. I grant you the names of lines can be annoying, but I'm working on an index for that.
- If your thought is that all those categories should be replaced by categories for individual units, then frankly you're out of your mind. The chances of someone caring if their photo of a train is of 158881 or 158882 is miniscule, and pretty much relies on having a major crash, because barring incidents such as that no individual unit is ever going to be noteworthy (as in I want this particular unit, not that one) in of itself. Much more likely they will care if it's a photo of it being operated by British Rail or by South West Trains; or whether it's in a BR livery or a First livery. Maybe this does mean we, for a time, get "redundant" categories due to lack of different operators or liveries, but it is at best only temporary. Franchises change, even a single train operator occasionally comes up with a new livery (witness the Lycamobile 378s), and it fits into an overall structure that ensures consistency.
- Now, I will grant you, the category system leaves a lot to be desired, and a system of tagging and filtering would be a lot better; but we don't have that, we have categories. If and when the software is modified we can modify our categorisation system, until then we need to work with what we have.
- Regarding your comment about diesel locomotives, the only ones I am aware of which have their individual categories are ones in preservation, and those are by definition the few survivors of a now-redundant class. While I'm not a fan of those having their own categories, I can understand it, as the average heritage unit probably gets an order of magnitude more attention than it ever did as a mainline loco, and thus there are enough photos to make it worthwhile from the standpoint of reducing the number of files in "diesel locomotives of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway".
- -mattbuck (Talk) 00:36, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Nothing you have said explains or excuses in any way, the mess that is the UK trains category structure. "Trains of (Operator)" apparently "quickly become unmanageable." so you increased and compounded the problem by spreading it over every class! "The point of the livery is that it's a major part of an operator's identity." That much is true However it not a major part of a classes identity, so there was never any need to spread this over all the classes. Also there have been 'discussions' about what is and is not a livery. When you can't even get a consensus on that it shows that a category system has failed. Not that in many cases you can even tell what livery a train is in and a fair bit of guesswork is often used. "The point of line is that if you want photos of a particular railway line, you likely want photos of trains on that line." Many lines are short and don't need to be split by class others are so lang that you may wish for a more local system.
- "If your thought is that all those categories should be replaced by categories for individual units, then frankly you're out of your mind." This comment goes to prove my above point that the existing scheme "is the product of a few people who have not listened to any other users opinions and have railroaded (Forgive that pun) their particular scheme through to the detriment of all other users who wish to use the UK trains categories" and if they happen not to agree with you they are somehow out of there mind! I'm afraid not. Arguments about whether something is "noteworthy" have absolutely no place on Commons, that nonsense if for Wikipedia and demonstrates my point that the existing category structure was "designed by someone more at home at Wikipedia". The sheer, basic and apparent fact is that at Commons arranging by numbers is found more useful for aircraft, ships, buses and non UK trains, it is inherently logical, unlike the UK train categories.
- There is nothing wrong with the Category system at commons if it is used logically and correctly, there really is no need for "a system of tagging and filtering" which would probably just get even more complex. All that is needed is to use what we have logically and consistently with how this project is used on a global scale. Nothing you can say changes the total failure of the current system. Where categories by number have been used it is always simpler and easier to use then the current UK trains only categories.
- While I would not object to you replacing the existing mess with logical categories by unit, I am not actually asking you to delete the existing Categories, all I'm asking is that where logical, by number categories have been created, is that they are allowed to remain as they are useful Oxyman (talk) 17:07, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

This category's name is far broader than its contents. The name embraces federal senators and state senators, but the contents demonstrate that it's meant to include just federal senators. For these senators, we have an established name, United States Senator, and en:Senator of the United States doesn't even exist. The category originally had this name, Category:United States Senators, but for some reason it became a {{Category redirect}} several years ago. Both this parent category and its state-level subcategories ought to be moved to "United States Senators". Nyttend (talk) 13:20, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- The edit history offers "some reason"; the cat was renamed eight years ago. Renaming it again does not really solve your problem. Maybe create a better intro explaining what should go into the main (this) cat, and what should go into existing sub-cats. But the idea is rather obvious already, more instruction creep won't help for folks who do not wish to get it. –Be..anyone (talk) 23:53, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Suite à la suppression de fichiers de Oursmili, à une discussion sur fr:Wikipédia:Legifer/août 2014#Insignes militaires français, et à une réponse du ministère de la défense, il y a quelques précisions concernant le droit de Commons à conserver certaines images d'insignes.
- La réponse du ministère
Monsieur,
En réponse à la question, voici des éléments de réponse ci-dessous par la DICOD ; antenne chargée de la communication des armées.
L’insigne est considérée comme une œuvre de l’esprit, c'est-à-dire constitutive d’une création originale prenant corps dans une forme. Elle présente les deux caractéristiques d’être un travail artistique transcrit dans une forme et de présenter une originalité réelle. A ce titre, elle entre dans le champ de protection offerte par la législation relative au droit d’auteur et bénéficie des dispositions de l’article L.111-1 du Code de la propriété intellectuelle (CPI) qui dispose que « L’auteur d’une œuvre de l’esprit jouit sur cette œuvre, du seul fait de sa création, d’un droit de propriété incorporelle exclusif et opposable à tous ». Il est également possible que l’insigne du régiment ait fait l’objet d’un dépôt auprès de l’INPI au titre des dessins, modèles ou marques, ce qui renforcerait la protection de l’insigne. En conséquence, le ministère de la Défense (et plus spécifiquement le régiment, dépositaire de l’insigne), en tant qu’il bénéficie du droit d’auteur sur cet insigne, dispose d’un droit de représentation et de reproduction de l’œuvre qui oblige les éventuels utilisateurs tiers à demander et obtenir l’autorisation pour reproduire ces insignes, sous peine de s’exposer à des poursuites civiles ou pénales. En effet en l’absence d’autorisation de la part du régiment, l’utilisation de l’insigne par un tiers quelque soit le type de support est considéré comme une utilisation frauduleuse. Il y aura donc contrefaçon, le tiers risque donc 3 ans d’emprisonnement et 300 000 euros d’amende d’après l’article L.335-2 du CPI.
Nous restons à votre disposition si besoin.

The name and the contents of the category are at variance. The name suggests that we're dividing former churches by the faith once preached therein: former churches that were once Presbyterian, former churches that were once Baptist, etc. However, the contents are different: they depict churches that were formerly Presbyterian, churches that were formerly Baptist, etc., regardless of whether the buildings are still churches or not. We really ought to change the name; something like "Churches in the United States by former religion" would be much better. Nyttend (talk) 17:19, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Maybe my first statement isn't too understandable, so let me give you an example, File:Holy Spirit Fellowship, former First RPC.jpg. This building was originally Presbyterian, the Catholics bought it some decades later, and they've since sold it to the Pentecostals. It fits well into two subcategories, Category:Former Roman Catholic churches in Pennsylvania and Category:Former Presbyterian churches in the United States, since it used to be a Catholic church and it used to be a Presbyterian church, but "Former churches in the USA by religion" wouldn't seem to apply to it because it's still a church. Nyttend (talk) 17:26, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- I understand what you are saying and I do not disagree with you, however, there is the larger issue of how your proposed change matches with the same category in other countries. When I looked into this I noticed a jumbled mess. Some countries use the word religion, where others use denomination and still others faith. I think we should have continuity as well as clarity. So there is, in my opinion, two issues that should be addressed. But I don't think the issue should be taken up here, or maybe it's discussed here with nothing definitive being decided here. In case it's the latter, I support the suggested change with your reasoning. I would also suggest changing the word "religion" to "denomination." Technically, all Christian churches are of the same faith and religion. They are different denominations. Farragutful (talk) 03:41, 24 September 2014 (UTC
- @Farragutful and Nyttend: I'd propose an immediate move to Category:Former churches in the United States by demonimation with the idea that these are categories for buildings that are no longer churches. If there's a need for churches that have changed demonimations but remain churches, then I'd agree, Nyttend, that Category:Churches in the United States by former denomination should also be created. - Themightyquill (talk) 13:13, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
- I don't see a need to categorise once-a-church-now-something-else buildings by former religious affiliation; "Former Presbyterian churches" ought to embrace all buildings that were formerly Presbyterian churches, whether or not they are still used as churches, and "Former churches" ought to embrace all buildings that were formerly churches, regardless of their denominational affiliation. Maybe my experience isn't representative, but in my experience, these categories are used typically to indicate the denomination of a congregation that formerly occupied a building, regardless of the building's current use. After all, "building formerly used as a house of worship by Presbyterians" is more basic than "former house of worship that was used by Presbyterians", since the latter's a subset of the former; you basically have to have the first if you want the second, but not necessarily vice versa. I think we ought to rename the category to meet the contents, since the contents reflect a more useful division than "once a church, and also it was used by the Presbyterians".

- @Nyttend: I'm confused, because I thought I was agreeing with your comments above. What is your alternative proposal? - Themightyquill (talk) 07:54, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- I don't have an alternative proposal. My proposal at the time of nomination, and my proposal now, is "Churches in the United States by former religion", although I'm fine with "faith" or "denomination" per Farragutful's suggestion. Nyttend (talk) 11:01, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Nyttend: If we rename to Category:Churches in the United States by former denomination (to match parent), do the sub-categories need renaming as well, and if so, how? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:25, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
- That would sound reasonable. The subcategories don't need renaming. As I note above, the problem is that the current title doesn't match the subcategories. Each subcategory's scope (and the way each one is actually used) is all US buildings that were formerly used as churches by the specified denomination, whether those buildings are currently used as churches by another denomination or whether they're no longer churches at all. Conversely, this parent sounds like it's for buildings that aren't churches at all anymore. Nyttend (talk) 12:55, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- PS, we already have a category for buildings that are no longer churches at all: see Category:Secularized churches. I checked all the geographical subcategories, and I found only two that were divided by faith: Category:Former Lutheran churches in Austria and Category:Secularized churches in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Aachen. The first is the result of improperly placing Category:Former churches in Austria underneath Category:Secularized churches in Austria (it's not a subtopic of secularized churches), and the second isn't for all Catholic churches in Category:Secularized churches in North Rhine-Westphalia, unless the diocese happens to be coëxtensive with the state; I have no idea. (Also note that former Lutheran churches in Austria includes two that are used by other denominations and one that's no longer used by any denomination, so it's definitely "building formerly used as a house of worship by Lutherans"). So there is no example worldwide of a "Secularized [faith] churches in [place]" category, unless it's somehow been placed outside the secularized churches category entirely.

Done: moved to Category:Churches in the United States by former denomination per nomination. --ƏXPLICIT 00:19, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
