@Peterkingiron and Excelse: I sympathise with your doubts about the millennium categories but also feel that at least some distant and poorly populated millennium categories should stay, e.g. Category:Populated places established in the 5th millennium BC. And this may also differ by continent because Category:1st millennium in North America will be more useful to keep than Category:1st millennium in Europe. But then I wonder how and where we should draw the lines. I don't have an answer right now, just sharing some thoughts. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:48, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Is there an easy way to nominate the hundreds of categories without going into each one individually? I don't have the stomach to do that. I just want to roll them up into decades. Even that will be sparcly populated. Laurel Lodged (talk) 14:07, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
I know you as a good editor in category namespace, so why are you replacing child categories by the less specific parent categories? I reverted a few of them, since I am sure this is some mistake. Debresser (talk) 09:49, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
I am intrigued by your decision to remove the Category: Marketing from the article, Resource-based view with the assertion that it is not directly related to marketing. RBV has been included on the syllabus of university subjects in marketing strategy since the early 2000s. Marketing scholars such as George S. Day, who recognised the value of RBV for marketing theory, have been instrumental in developing the theories around RBV and its implications for marketing. Leading international journals in the marketing discipline, such as the Journal of Marketing, appear to have recognised the importance of RBV for marketing and have been accepting papers on the topic for the best part of 20 years. At international marketing conferences, both academics and practitioners have been teasing out the marketing implications of RBV for the best part of 20 years.
Below are a just a few of articles on RBV in a marketing context, that may be of interest, and incidentally, some of which, were cited in the article:

Category:Establishments in the Cretan State, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to see if it abides with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. Rathfelder (talk) 13:40, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
the whole thing you are currently editing has me wondering (not your edits, previous edits)
I do not think much thought has gone into it - 'service industries' with economics project tag (?)
And a few other weirdnesses - not that I may have helped in tagging...
It really lacks a solid and probable oonnection of categories and project tags, that I know JarrahTree 23:08, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Re the country/regions absurdity missed the conversation - wwikix legacy still haunts - the crazy category mixups are weird and unresolved even now - JarrahTree 23:31, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello. As the only editor I know who's actively managing categories, do you have any thoughts on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Categories#William Shakespeare? Basically I'm wondering whether putting categories into other categories is meant to be a transitive "is a" relationship[1], as loosely implied by Wikipedia:Categorization#Category tree organization and any exceptions should be considered for cleaning up, or whether categories can be just sets with no logical structure per User:gracefool/What is a category?.
Your thoughts (or pointers to others' thoughts) would be welcome please. Certes (talk) 17:24, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Fayenatic london, I originally placed these CfM/CfD tags, and can remove them, if desired. Would only require an example and the go-ahead. ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 13:40, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
CFD was withdrawn pending case-by-case consideration, see [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_January_19#Years_and_decades_in_various_European_countries]]at Category:1340s establishments in Bohemia. – Fayenatic London 22:08, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

You'll have noticed that the Category:Government of Scotland is different from the Category:Scottish Government. The former refers to governments in the region of Scotland while the region was part of different states. The latter refers to the devolved institution of modern times within the UK. It seems anomalous to have Category:Government of Scotland linked to a UK parent category. Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:44, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi Marco, thanks for tagging categories for deletion. However, when you do so, you're still tagging them with links to CFD pages from 2017, rather than 2018. I noticed this after looking at your deleted contributions because of this edit by Grutness to Wikipedia:Deleted articles with freaky titles, which provided a link to the logs for Category:Works about knees. Graham87 04:07, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
As you and another editor are actively questioning my new categories and/or redirects, I have made a related proposal WP:Village pump (policy)#Allow some categorization in disambiguation pages (or within redirects to them) and solicit your feedback for consensus.Dpleibovitz (talk) 20:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your ongoing work on categories. It's a difficult - and extremely messy - area which doesn't attract enough Wikipedians. Your logic and perseverance is greatly appreciated! Iryna Harpy (talk) 19:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC) |
Hi. Re your edit at VPP I think it's better (especially when dealing with editors who have difficulty understanding categories) to use the word "similar" rather than "related". For example, if John Doe was the first person to climb Mount Foobar then the article about the person and the article about the mountain are about related topics (and hence should wikilink to each other), but they are not about similar topics so wouldn't be categorized together (one would be in a <nationality>-mountaineers category and the other in a mountains-of-<country> category). DexDor (talk) 12:48, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
@Fayenatic london, Explicit, Black Falcon, BrownHairedGirl, and BU Rob13: There is a growing backlog at WP:CFD again. It would be appreciated if you could close a number of open discussions. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:23, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
Why are you recategorizing all the articles in Category:chess openings? I don't think this is a good idea. What advantage do you see in using a lot more categories? Quale (talk) 02:05, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Help! I've read the articles but can't figure out the distinction. Editor2020 (talk) 21:55, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
I think that something needs to be done to put some clearer distance between two entities. There is the Roman Province entity and the modern state entity. There are some instances where the two have been conflated - this is bad. In most cases, the two are unrelated - that's usually not a problem. The problem mainly arises where the two are quite closely related. For example, you have Category:Roman Gaul and Category:France. The two are not identical. Large parts of Gaul were in Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany. It's absurd and ahistorical for France to claim "ownership" of Gaul as it does with Category:1st millennium in France. I think that Category:Former countries in French history offers a direction and a path forward. Suppose all modern countries used this convention for marrying with Roman Provinces?

I saw you comment that read
That is what I did and why I arrived to Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion. I tagged them all but did not mention all in the entry. It took me a while since the number is very large. I don't get why the entry was closed, I mean there are more opinion that those of Volcanoguy's and in fact I did not got the chance to bebuke his absurd claim that volcanic rocks are not the product of magmatism! Mamayuco (talk) 19:35, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
(ec)I just checked. @Mamayuco: you tagged the category talk pages.[1] But you need to tag the actual category pages.
And then you need to list all the categories at the top of the cfd discussion, one per line, like this:
@Mamayuco:
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited William d'Ecouis, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anglo-Norman (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi, I have closed the Bohemia CFD at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 February 21, and started to implement it. See Wikipedia_talk:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_January_19#Bohemia_(entirely). Please could you assist with the merges?
Oh, and where I found that the nominated categories were also in Habsburg Monachy, I also merged the contents there, although I did not record this in my close. If that was unhelpful because this hierarchy is only going to need merging later, feel free to revert those edits from my contribs. – Fayenatic London 22:25, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
I am thinking of challenging your non-admin closure of this on the following points 1) There was a clear majority for merge (3 -v- 1), 2) the in favour !vote was very weak (dividing music by the lyric!) and 3) your rationale was other stuff exists. Do you want to reconsider first? Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:37, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, re this: why do you need to edit the doc? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:27, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, when you merge categories, please merge not only the members of the category, but the content on the category page, esp. parent categories.
E.g. here is one that you missed.
Thanks for keeping up the work at CFD! – Fayenatic London 14:41, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
You shouldn't close categories for discussion. Closing those you commented on is especially frowned up. Get an admin to close it. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 07:03, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
I admit that religion is a theme in these novels, but I would not go as far as say that the novels are about religion. In that light, I'd ask you to reconsider this edit. Debresser (talk) 22:45, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi. Why did you remove Category:Religion in fiction from Bloodborne in this revision of yours? The game does, apparently, have certain religious themes. Interqwark talk contribs 02:22, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Category:Recipients of the Order of the Rising Sun, 1st class You may wish to move this to a new date so it may get some notice. Just a mild request. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:50, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Marcocapelle. Are we supposed to stop commenting/answering in this CfD, because more than seven days have gone by? I'm not sure of the rules and conventions here. Thanks for your answer. Eleuther (talk) 23:32, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
((closing))
template ("Close in progress: An administrator or other editor is in the process of closing this discussion."), and you shouldn't really comment on those either. But in the absence of those two types of message, discussion is still open - and may in some cases go on for some time. See for example Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 13#Category:Events at the 1997 European Athletics U23 Championships which is still open after eight weeks - the last comment was just three days ago. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:56, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Marcocapelle, I think this may be a good time to close this thread, probably as "no consensus," perhaps with the idea of opening a similar one later. The thread has been very badly polluted by Sławomir Biały's dispute with me, to the point where the thread is not really readable by other people. No one else has contributed for five days. I think this would be a good time to say, okay, let it be, let's start over later. Do you agree? Eleuther (talk) 05:54, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
You suggested this new title and, on reflection, I think I would support it. It looks like my attempt to have the present "crisis" recognised as part of a historical migration pattern is going to fail. If it does, I would like to see this proposal taken forward if you care to make it. Deb (talk) 07:20, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed another group of non-contentious categories needing renaming at Category:Sport in the Palestinian territories, if you have the time! – Fayenatic London 11:18, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi again, it was useful that we got a clear consensus about the date cut-off at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2018_July_9#Palestinian_territories. I've finished implementing that CFD now.
Feel free to nominate years & (dis)establishments from 2013 when you have time.
Please note the objection at the foot of my talk page, that recent events in Israeli settlements within the West Bank were not "in the State of Palestine". For those particular cases, we were able to bypass that problem (for now?) by using the intermediate category layer "in the West Bank". – Fayenatic London 21:37, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
Category:Voodoo practicioners Isn't this Category misspelled?
If the CfD closed as "delete", why did you redirect it instead? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:12, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi again Marcocapelle, I know you have declined this a few times already, but I consider that you're ready to be an admin, and will be a fine one too.
Moreover, about me: I'm thinking of making a major ongoing time commitment to an unrelated charity project starting in a few months' time, and I will have to become practically retired from Wikipedia.
As we both know, you and I have become the most consistent "workers" at WP:CFD for a few years now. Your contributions to closing and advising at CFD are already invaluable, but it would certainly be handy for you to have access to the full toolbox.
Please would you consider adminship again? You probably know that the RfA itself can be time-consuming for the candidate; it helps to read up on policies beforehand, and to plan for the nomination to happen in a week when you will have the time to answer questions.
I'll be very happy to nominate you, if only you'll accept.
Kind regards – Fayenatic London 22:39, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Err why does no consensus mean 'delete'?! GiantSnowman 07:38, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Economists are not a subset of economics writers, because economists aren't necessarily always writers at all. It should be the other way around, with economists as a parent to economics writers rather than a child. Bearcat (talk) 20:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Nope, not at all. GiantSnowman 07:26, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for bringing that issue with that user to my attention. Posting it on something as high-traffic as A/N was not the best idea; I had to revdel five diffs (and I'll probably have to get it oversighted).

Would you allow that Jesuit development centres might be a Non-diffusing subcategory of Category:Community-building organizations? It seems to me that they should both be allowed.

Something is wrong with the templates of Wikipedia:WikiProject Former countries and they no longer populate the Project's categories. Stop deleting categories, while we have to populate them by hand. Dimadick (talk) 18:12, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
What do you think about categories such as Category:Populated places in ancient Thessaly and similar for other historic regions of the ancient world to reduce the clutter in Category:Ancient Thessaly and Category:Geography of ancient Thessaly? We have some similar Category:Cities in ancient Epirus, but they are not being used carefully - not all are poleis of antiquity nor having city status under Macedon, Rome, or Byzantium. Technically, populated places not cities. I think it better to be accurate than not, and would like your opinion and advice as to creations and perhaps having a subcat entitled "cities" (as per Epirus) solely for poleis or cities qua cities. I appreciate your consideration. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:48, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

@Marcocapelle, Fayenatic london, and BrownHairedGirl: due to yall's category experience, would you know how to segregate a category's contents into separate numerical subheadings; for example, 0, 1, 2, etc., instead of the default behavior grouping them under 0-9, similar to how A, B, C, etc. appear by default instead of A-Z...?

Looking around what's left, are the Republic of Florence etc supposed to be in Italy, or directly in Europe so that the old Italy categories are obsolete? E.g.

Has basically quit, not much in sending message to him - automated or not
Also if you are going at this rate, I am no longer interested in whatever argument you bring up - you could be capable of pulling apart the whole of the south east asian project and the Indonesian one if you try hard enough.
I prefer and like it when you keep to getting rid of grandfather, father categories that exist in the larger project and so on - but really if you are sufficiently efficient and rigorous, you are going to find projects that simply do not have participants with the slightest interest in your dismantling. It might all make good sense to you - but in the end some parts of the Indonesian project are fragile due to lower editor involvement, and systematic erosion of the component parts of the potential project - will neither elicit a response, or even a flicker of the objection - as those interested are simply not around anymore. One thing to keep such a project is problematic enough, removing parts of the category tree may indeed be fulfilling for you, but after this message, do not expect explanations or contexts from me about things, it gets too demoralising. Happy editing. JarrahTree 12:12, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
Category:Executed Widerstand Catholics
Hi Marco, I noticed that you created this category. I was considering 1) renaming to an English name, such as "Executed Catholic members of the German resistance" or 2) deletion, figuring that being in Category:Roman Catholics in the German Resistance and Category:Executed German Resistance members is sufficient. Would appreciate your input. Thanks. Catrìona (talk) 00:30, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Are you thinking about splitting Category:Hindu movements and organisations? Editor2020 (talk) 03:03, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Marcocapelle, thanks for all your work on Categorization. A request: could you please use more transparent edit summaries on non-obvious category adjustments? For example, on this one to Sant (religion), a summary of new key for Category:Hindu religious leaders isn't all that helpful; I had to go look at the category page to see that you meant to move the article listing to the top of the category page to separate it from the biographies (at least, that's my assumption; I can't read your mind). If so, can you just say that, instead? Something like, Sort to top of category along with other non-biographies or whatever way appeals to you. In general, an edit summary that merely describes what anyone can see by looking at the wikicode ("blanked category key", "new key for category XYZ") is not that helpful; what's useful, is your intent or goal in doing so. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Mathglot (talk) 23:28, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for sorting churches finer! Two questions: why "Roman Catholic" when our article is simply "Catholic"? And evangelisch means Protestant.

At WP:ANFRC, you posted about "General comment about CFD closures". I am not saying that you are wrong about doing so.

Hi Marcocapelle,
Ive seen your edits on quite a number of articles on medieval europe and I would just like to ask for your help in searching for citations regarding the birth and death years of a few lesser known Merovingian kings (the rois faineats) since right now quite a few of the dates/sources given are dubious.

I noticed that you and other users removed parent categories for Category:Philosophy, like Humanities, Abstractions, Thought, Academic disciplines, Beliefs. Doing so seems unintuitive and illogical to me. Is there an universal concensus to kill circular categorization at all consts? If so, can you give me some info on why this was made "recently" (during the last few years)? Because I wonder if it's worth. CN1 (talk) 22:38, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
Hi. In the edit summary of Nelly Arcan you mention there is a discussion on the deletion of Category:Canadian escorts. There doesn't seem to be a link to the discussion on the deletion notice, nor on the talk page. Can you give me a link. Thanks. --John B123 (talk) 09:02, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Marcocapelle,
I have a question for you as someone who has spent a lot more time at CfD than I. I advised an editor that rather than blank a category soft redirect page, to take it to CFD if they wanted the page deleted. I was then asked for an example of where this has happened and I couldn't recall an instance where I saw this occurring but I thought you might.
The whole cascade of events was causing confusion where they would blank a category redirect, I'd tag it for being an empty category and then have to undo all of the edits when I found the category page was a soft redirect. Have you seen these soft redirect categories proposed for deletion? Thanks for any you might remember. Liz Read! Talk! 04:25, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Just as an FYI, I'm trying to contribute more in this area to get things back under control. My larger health issues are mostly resolved, ignoring the unrelated head cold I'm fighting off at the moment, and I hope to be able to devote more of my time to wiki business over the next month. ~ Rob13Talk 10:23, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Marco, long time no speak, hope all is well. Could you perhaps clarify these two edits?[5]-[6] I know very well that you made these changes in WP:GF, but the Shirvanshahs and the Eldiguzids were not Azerbaijanis, as the nation and ethnic group simply did not exist at the time. No WP:RS refers to them as such. - LouisAragon (talk) 00:26, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Jewish businesspeople requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

An article you recently created, List of Dancing with the Stars (Australian TV series) participants, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I noticed that you added Category:14th-century popes to a category about Medieval Rome. But the period includes the Avignon Papacy (1309-1376), when the Popes resided in Avignon and not in Rome.

I reverted those CSDs, the categories are being populated by ((infobox journal)) and it will take a while before the caching is complete and everything gets populated.

Hi Marco. Any chance you'd consider working with me to reopen a discussion about Category:People who died in the Holocaust by occupation and subcats? I agree with your observation that their profession was not the reason they were killed, but the intersection is not arbitrary - coverage notes the impact of the loss of people in the fields of sport([7][8]), for instance. (I'm sure I've seen similar for film and so on, I just happen to be checking sport biographies for categorization right now.) What do you think? –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:06, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

@Marcocapelle: I noticed that you recategorized an article that I was watching into Category:Specific models, so I looked at the content of that category and noticed that there is a need for a category for psychological models, that is, models in psychology and its subfields. What do you think about a category named Category:Psychological models as a subcat of Category:Specific models? One issue that I see is that there is some ambiguity in the name: "Psychological models" could be interpreted as either "Models in psychology" or as "Models in people's heads", but the category should be for the former, not the latter. Category:Models in psychology might be a better name for the category to avoid such ambiguity. I would appreciate your feedback. Biogeographist (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
With regard to edits like this, Category:Psychology also fits. The typology is a psychological typology. There is no reason that it can't be in both Category:Psychology and Category:Sexual orientation. But, for now, I won't restore it. I may not restore it in the future either.
If you reply, I prefer not to be pinged. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:25, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

re this edit at this CfD: here the nom explicitly states that "I'm not necessarily advocating for deletion, although it's one possible outcome". Can you agree with me that that "outcome" does not follow from the proposal as made & clarified (ie, change populating mechanism)? I really have no clue on what that line is supposed to state. I see no connection between the proposal as understood and any deletion. -DePiep (talk) 12:57, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello @Marcocapelle:, as you participated in the debate about Category:Arminian Christians deletion. I have a question dealing with another but close topic : in Category:Arminianism, there is already Category:Arminian denominations, correctly filled I think. But besides that, I thought I can tag the few names of the whole movements of these denominations, typically like category:Pentecostalism (which is mostly Arminian). This is only to provide the same picture given in arminianism#Current landscape on the category side. According to you is it ok to tag those categories in such a way ? (Actually pentecostalism, and methodism were already tagged for years in such a way, I just added some movements) ---Telikalive (talk) 17:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Hello, Marcocapelle. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of Dancing with the Stars (Australian TV series) participants".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the ((db-afc))
, ((db-draft))
, or ((db-g13))
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hi,
First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year!
Secondly please be morfe careful with some recent categorizations, since they are problematic, sometimes misleading and fallacious. See first my edit regarding Slovenia. As well, by Poland other's reverted you, and I have to agree since the Category:Polish-speaking countries and territories category's even one entry is problematic, the whole category should be deleted as well, since the entity along with today's Poland is not, was not or has not always been a Polish territory or country, or Polish speaking territory, but German, Lithuanian, etc., then all similar names with categories could be put under every country, which formely shared an aboriginal part of the country before the massive border changes in the past century, even having large ethnic population still. Try to solve these problems, Thank You! (KIENGIR (talk) 11:21, 2 January 2020 (UTC))
