This is yet another English category which doesn't match up with the real world. We have deleted quite a few so hopefully this one will go too. It is not possible for a charity to be English in a legal sense: the Charity Commission covers England and Wales. It is extremely rare for a charity to be national, but cover England only; they cover the UK, or England & Wales or the UK exluding either Scotland or Northern Ireland. Charities do not lobby the English national media, because it does not exist (which is why we deleted the English media category) or the English government, because no such government has existed since 1707. It is pointless to use this to categorise local charities when around 85% of local charities in the UK must be based in places in England (and we have city and county categories for local categorisation, so that's covered already).
This category has not been taken up by users in the month since it was created, which tends to confirm that it is not necessary. It is just a confusing extra tier to click through and will lead to inconsistent categorisation. It will be particularly confusing for people from outside the UK, who may not understand the underlying issues re UK/GB/Britain/England. There is no need to try to shove everything relevant to England into Category:England, because there is a clear explanation in that category that users should see the UK menu on many topics. The only purpose categories like this one serve is the political one of diminishing the prominence given to the UK/Britishness below that which it has in the real world. The category system is a navigational tool and should reflect the world as it is rather than the world in which some users would like to live. Merge into Category:British charities.

(For those who may not know Hebrew, "Chazanim" means "Cantors", the clergy who lead the "public singing" part during Jewish services.) User pages should not be classified as Wikipedia Categories that could cause confusion with the valid Category:Cantors. This is a back-handed and backdoor circumvention of Wikipedia's rules against no vanity pages and no-self promotion. These users are not notable in any way (how can they be if they are "anonymous" Users?) and this "category" should never have been created for such a silly purpose. It's another version of the old "cantor-kruft" syndrome, or a poor shot at it at any rate. IZAK 20:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Philosophy in the Roman empire continues the tradition of Greek/Hellenistic philosophy, it's not sensible to divide between Greek philosophers and those living in the Roman empire. Many of the latter wrote in Greek anyway. If one wishes to subdivide by timeframe one should add suitable subcategories, such as Philosophers in the Hellenistic era, Philosophers in the late Roman republic, Philosophy in the Julio-Claudian era and so on. "Roman era" isn't used in philology. Pilatus 18:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category was originally Category:U.S. nuclear history. This was originally CFRed to fix the acronym problem — and to that I have no objection. However somewhere along the line the people nominating it decided that it was not really about nuclear weapons history, but rather was about "Nuclear weapons of the United States". I presume part of this came from the fact that the main article listed in the category is Nuclear weapons and the United States. That article itself has a somewhat weird name history (it used to be United States and nuclear weapons, modeled as a sub-article of United States and weapons of mass destruction, but again people who had not worked on the article at all decided that they had a better idea about what it should be called. I don't really care in this instance, though), but is not simply a "historical" article (it is an attempt to present a comprehensive approach to the entire U.S. nuclear weapons program; the actual "history" section is quite short and abbreviated). In any event, it is the best article for the category, but it is not the best name for the category, which as you can see consisted primarily of articles relating strictly to the history of the U.S. weapons program (i.e. the Einstein-Szilard letter, the Franck Report, the Chicago Pile-1, and the National Defense Research Committee, none of which have any bearing on modern U.S. nuclear relations).

The original voters also thought it would be impossible to separate out the "history" from the "current" state of things — this is a decision which should be left to the editors who work on the articles. I assure you it is not quite as difficult as they thought — in most of the cases (such as those just listed) it is not difficult at all.

Furthermore, the current category name, "Nuclear weapons of the United States" is highly misleading — it gives one not the impression that it is a category full of items related to U.S. nuclear weapons history, but rather that it is a category about nuclear weapons manufactured by the United States, similar to our category Category:American Cold War nuclear bombs.

My suggestion, as not only a person who has done a lot of work on the entire nuclear history section of Wikipedia — including the authorship of Nuclear weapons and the United States, History of nuclear weapons, and much of the content on nuclear weapon itself — but also as someone who does primary research in nuclear history in my "real life" persona as a historian of science (and mind you I am usually loathe to drag my "real life" persona into these sorts of things), is that we rename the category name to the proper form of what it once was: Category:United States nuclear weapons history. It is simple, straightforward, and, most importantly, accurately describes the scope of the articles which are inside of it. You can leave it up to me and the other editors who work on this topic decide about whether certain articles count as "history" or not.

Now I hope I don't sound too testy here but I do get a bit irritated when people concerned about "process" allow that to trample over content-related issues that they don't really have experience with. But hopefully this next change will go smoothly, and I have tried to explain myself up above so that people not acquainted with the subject matter can perhaps understand the difficulty I'm having with it.

These categories are excessive and can be misleading. It is not appropriate to divide up all the museums in the UK between the home nations because many of them are British national museums. At the very least it is enough to divide them up by location and type. The user who created this category also edited National Waterways Museum to make the incorrect claim that it is an English museum, when the official site makes it perfectly clear that it is the museum of the British waterways system. It may well be that other articles were inappropriately amended as part of the same process. The Scottish and Northern Ireland categories are much too small, with 2 and 1 articles respectively.

Empty. 'Modern' was supposed to mean since the end of the Cold War, but any Russian missile would fit this category, so Category:Air-to-air missiles of Russia is just fine. Any from the Cold War would be 'of the Soviet Union'.

Categorization by country should be separated from categorization by era. On the basis that Russia is the successor state to the Soviet Union, we should have Category:Air-to-air missiles of Russia, with subcategories by era of Category:Cold War air-to-air missiles of the Soviet Union (merging the existing Category:Soviet Cold War air-to-air missiles and Category:Air-to-air missiles of the Soviet Union, and meeting the naming conventions for weapons) and Category:Post-Cold War air-to-air missiles of Russia.

I can understand why someone chose this name, to take into account geographical differences. But the period is usually referred to as "The Stone Age", the lead article on WP is called Stone Age and even the introduction on the category page calls it "the Stone Age", so the category name should be the same.
