Final Fantasy VI
Winner of the first WPFF featured article drive, we would like to work on this article in order to make it reach Featured Article status. --ZeWrestler 03:18, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * See WP:FICT. This article suffers from unrelenting bloat and is beginning to metastasize into sub-articles on secondary characters (rife with images of questionable copyright status). If FAs are supposed to show the best of WP, we should definitely try to roll back the bloat and Fancruft and include material _about_ the game, rather than just information that one would pick up by playing it. (The section about censorship is a great start, tho.) jdb ❋ (talk) 01:12, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Just to reply about the images with questionable copyright status, what images are you talking about? I just looked through every single image on the page, and they all have legit copyright tags.  I even checked the small character images in the template at the bottom. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 15:42, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hm, maybe that's been fixed since I last went through -- good. The inflated content issue remains, though: Calvin and Hobbes nearly lost its featured status after the article became bloated as fans of the strip (myself included, I have to admit) crapflooded it with minutae from the strips, making it tedious to read and of interest only to those who actually read every book in the series. (Judicious editing saved it from losing FA status.) Removing the really-belongs-in-an-FAQ and obvious-to-anyone-who-played-the-game minutae would be a good idea or the same people who voted to strip C&H of FA status will vote against it. jdb ❋ (talk) 03:44, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe i've read the article so many times that i'm passing the fancruft off as regular encyclopedia material and overlooking it. May you please cite a few example of the fancruft you are refering to in this article.-- ZeWrestler   Talk 17:48, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know if I should mention this, but I've found two images on the page, which are respectively Image:Cquote1.png and Image:Cquote2.png, not having any copyright tags at all. I uploaded over them some days ago, making them smaller file size, but Cuahl is the original uploader and I myself don't know the copyright status of these images. – DarkEvil 18:46, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * Forget it, these images just got their tags after contacting the original uploader. – DarkEvil 21:00, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
 * I can't believe i missed those two small pics. =( -- ZeWrestler  Talk 21:10, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
 * To be sure, I believe the quote images were part of a template gleaned off of some other page. Sorry for the confusion on that part. – Seancdaug 02:56, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Examples: Most of it has been farmed out to satellite articles on minor characters. WP:FICT indicates that only major characters really merit articles; one may debate whether this applies to certain people in the game, but it most certainly applies to General Leo and Banon. They really should be (as WP:FICT suggests) merged into a big "List of FFVI characters". I would say that it applies to every character in the game who doesn't have some significant role outside it. Cloud from FFVII, for instance, has a huge following in the cosplay community and has appeared in several games besides FFVII; I can't think of any character in FFVII (although there may be one) significant enough to merit its own article. jdb ❋ (talk) 00:27, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, but whats left in the article. thats the focus at the moment.  What is in there that is still considered Fancruft?-- ZeWrestler   Talk 03:34, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I would guess that sub-pages of the article would we weighed along with the article in an FA vote. (It's not as though any other page links to Banon, Leo, etc.) jdb ❋ (talk) 15:53, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I asked the question about subpages here. In summary, an article should stand on its own and subpages do not have to be perfect.  I'm not saying that the fancruft should not be removed from the character pages, but it should not affect the results of the FA voting. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 19:36, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't, but that's no guarantee that it won't, remember.... – Seancdaug 02:56, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * We should put a status effects section. -- A Link to the Past 02:51, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
 * hmmm. not a bad idea.  Although, i'm more inclined to say create an article Status Affects in Final Fantasy and link it to that.  This way, other articles can use it as well. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 03:34, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I think this is exactly what you don't want. The more the page looks like a GameFAQs entry, the less likely it is to gain FA status. jdb ❋ (talk) 15:53, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Forget that idea. After i posted this, Cuahl posted a link to Status effect, which covers multiple games, outside and including Final Fantasy.  Is that better? -- ZeWrestler   Talk 16:01, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
 * So, if I understand, all relating to monster or character stats, their attacks and other things that are only helpful to get through the game when playing should be removed, as well as all character pages like Emperor Gestahl, General Leo and even main characters if they don't act outside of this particular game, putting them in a list of characters, that's it? – DarkEvil 00:20, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Hold off on that idea for now.-- ZeWrestler  Talk 02:09, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * As a general rule, yeah, pretty much. My suggestion would be to take most of the individual character pages and move them over to either Wikibooks or one of the dedicated FF wikis out there, and trim down what we currently have to the sort of thing that, say, a non-gamer might concievably be interested in looking up about the game. But I do think that the first step is getting the main article down to good shape, and then working outwards to the various satelite articles. – Seancdaug 02:56, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * So how should we start going about this?-- ZeWrestler  Talk 02:59, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I just thought about the fact that characters from Final Fantasy VI are appearing in that game as well as in the one included in Anthology version appearing also as CG models specially made (except some like Mog, Umaro, Gogo, etc...), I don't know if that'd count as being important enough to keep their articles, what about it? Oh, almost forgot that Gogo does appear outside of that game as he is also a boss in Final Fantasy V. – DarkEvil 04:16, July 31, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure we want to set hard numerical limits, here: as for all Wikipedia, the basic key is notability. A character appearing in only one game can certainly be notable, under the right circumstances, whereas a character appearing in a dozen games might not be. Gogo isn't necessarily more noteworthy than Locke, even if the former has appeared in more games, and it could well be that neither qualifies for a seperate article. I think it's really more of an issue of writing the content first, and then deciding what belongs where: keeping in mind that we're trying to provide a basic overview, not a game guide or complete exegesis, what exactly do we have to say about individual characters? Or about specific locales? Or events? Slice out unnecessary padding, rewrite where necessary so that it's all clear to non-gamers, and organize thereafter. I personally think that that the main Final Fantasy VI article is looking pretty good at the moment, though a lot of the satelite articles need attention. But as I'm one of the guys who pushed for this peer review to begin with, my attitude may not be the most important :-) – Seancdaug 17:59, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * I fixed up the reference section a bit. Some of information on the censorship section might want to have a few referances in it. DarkEvil, I know you added a lot to that section. If you or anyone else the sources for the censorship section please put them in the article. Besides the need for referances to be added to the article, i think its ready for a regular peer review by non-gamers before going to featured article nomination.  Do you guys agree with me??-- ZeWrestler   Talk 14:40, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
 * In the localization and censorship section itself, I've really just reworked some parts of the text or added some info I could find from the Japanese version of this article translating it with google translate which was very difficult to understand, very poor english translation. For the graphic censor, there was already a mention in the article saying that minor instances of nudity were covered. So I played the PlayStation version rom Anthology and got to the Chadarnook boss which was showing more parts than what I remembered when playing on SNES. I used a save game for the SNES and found out it was true. So I just used a sprite editor for SNES and checked through the unlocked bestiary on the PlayStation and found out all the differences myself. So, the graphic section I added was simply started thanks to the article itself and then I found out myself from the games which graphics were different by comparing. – DarkEvil 15:04, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

Red Links
It is generally a bad idea to fill an article with red links of non-notable persons. It only encourages the creation of articles for those people, which will in all likelihood then go to VfD and then be deleted. brenneman (t) (c) 03:19, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Cleaned up
I took some time to clean up this page as best I could. I fixed the rules section to make it flow better as well as fixed some of the improper English. I left the cleanup tag on the page, it may still need to be edited some more. StevenJRossi 23:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Clean up tag
I'm removing the clean up tag. I've done a significant amount of work (on editing, rules changes, punctuation, etc.), and I think the article is as "clean" as it's going to be. The main body of the article doesn't have many interwiki links, but only because there's nothing to link to. Anyway, I'm content with the page as it stands, and I hope everyone else is, too. -- Kicking222 16:59, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Citations?
What facts are we looking to cite and what kind of sources will actually work? I don't believe GSN.com has a website up for this show anymore but many things like the rules and rosters can be verified from the show itself. So...not sure how to handle that. I doubt this show is going to be easy to cite at all--what little is out there is probably going to be fansites or defunct (like the DSN page, which had the rosters of the teams, for example.

the wikipedia entry on dick groat states: "Interestingly enough, he did not play baseball at Duke." not true. I saw him play baseball at duke when i was 10 years old and he was a maniac on the bases.

Ernie Anderson

Ernest Earle Anderson (November 12, 1923 – February 6, 1997) was an American radio and television personality, horror host, and announcer.

Known for his portrayal of "Ghoulardi", the host of late night horror films on WJW Channel 8 on Cleveland television from 1963 to 1966, he worked as an announcer for the ABC television network from the late 1970s until the mid-1990s.

He is the father of filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, whose production entity is known as the Ghoulardi Film Company.

Early life and career
Anderson was born in Boston and grew up in Lynn, Massachusetts, the son of Emily (Malenson) and Ernest C. Anderson. Anderson planned to go to law school, but instead joined the U.S. Navy during World War II to avoid being drafted. In an interview, his son Paul Thomas Anderson spoke of his military service:

"He (Ernie) was in the Navy stationed mainly in Guam. I don't think he did any fighting. I think he was trying – he was fixing airplanes and knew just where the beer was stashed and played the saxophone in bands and stuff like that. You know, every picture I have of him [shows] a beer in his hand. Every single picture from the war he's got – so he was pretty good about probably finding ways to get out of fighting. But again, you know, we never really talked that much about it."

After the war, Anderson attended Suffolk University for two years, then took a job as a disc jockey at WSKI in Montpelier, Vermont. Anderson worked as a disc jockey in Albany, New York and Providence, Rhode Island before moving to Cleveland, Ohio in 1958 to join radio station WHK.

After WHK switched to a Top 40 format in late 1958, Anderson was let go as his persona did not fit with the format's newer, high-energy presentation. According to Anderson's lifelong friend, comic actor Tim Conway, Anderson was at a WHK Christmas party "telling this long elaborate joke and just as he's about to deliver the punch line his boss cuts in and says it. So Ernie looks at him and says, 'Why did you do that?' And his boss says, 'I anticipated it.' So Ernie said, 'Anticipate this' and tells him '(expletive) yourself.' Well, Ernie got fired."

Anderson switched to television, joining the Cleveland NBC affiliate KYW-TV (now WKYC), where he first collaborated with Conway for some on-air work. In mid-1961, both Anderson and Conway moved to then-CBS affiliate WJW-TV to host a local morning movie show called Ernie's Place, which also featured live skits and comedy bits reminiscent of Bob and Ray.

When the two men joined the station, Anderson sold Conway to WJW's management team as a director for the program, although Conway lacked the qualifications and experience for that position. Conway proved unable to do the work, and other staffers, including technician Chuck Schodowski, were called in to assist, before Conway was ultimately dismissed. With Anderson deprived of his comic foil, Ernie's Place was canceled, but management soon offered him a horror host role for a local incarnation of Shock Theater that WJW acquired the rights to air late-nights on Fridays.

"Ghoulardi" years
From 1963 to 1966, Anderson hosted Shock Theater under the alter ego of Ghoulardi, a hipster that defied the common perception of a horror host. While this version of Shock Theater also featured grade "B" science fiction and horror films, Ghoulardi mocked the films he was hosting, and spoke in an accent-laden beatnik slang. Often, comedic sound effects or music would be inserted in place of the movie's audio track. Occasionally, Ghoulardi would even insert himself into a film and appear to run from the monster, using a chroma key system that WJW normally utilized for art cards. He loved firecrackers (although their possession was illegal in Ohio) and started by blowing up apples and leftovers and graduated to blowing up model cars, statues, and other items sent in by viewers.

One remnant of Ernie's Place was also revived: the live comedy sketches and skits, only with Chuck Schodowski assuming Conway's role as Anderson's primary sidekick. On occasion, Conway would make cameo appearances on the program and serve as a writer, but Conway had meanwhile become a nationally known star on ABC's comedy series McHale's Navy.

Anderson's "Ghoulardi" persona often lampooned "unhip" targets, Dorothy Fuldheim being one of them. Fuldheim was the first woman to anchor a TV news show in the United States and a lifelong staffer for Cleveland's ABC affiliate WEWS. She openly disliked Anderson, feeling that the youth of Ohio were under attack with his pot jokes and childish antics, which she found distasteful. Ghoulardi responded by mocking her every week, usually referring to her as "Dorothy Baby". Their mutual on-air jibes created what viewers considered a battle of "the beatnik and the empress of Ohio news."

Anderson also developed "Parma Place", a weekly series of skits aired during the Ghoulardi show that parodied both the popular prime-time soap opera Peyton Place and the bedroom community of Parma, Ohio. "Parma Place" became an instant hit among the viewers, but its heavy use of ethnic jokes and asides toward Parma eventually caused that city's elected officials to complain to WJW management. While the station acquiesced and ordered the cancellation of "Parma Place," the publicity from that incident and the Fuldheim feud put the Ghoulardi character at the peak of his popularity.

By 1965, Anderson not only hosted Shock Theater but also the Saturday afternoon Masterpiece Theater and the weekday children's program Laurel, Ghoulardi and Hardy, all of which were ratings successes. Anderson also created the "Ghoulardi All-Stars" sports teams, often attracting thousands of fans to as many as 100 charity contests annually. With help from Conway, Anderson even visited Hollywood to shoot a TV pilot and featured the audition and films of his trip on his show, which was highly unusual for local TV in 1966.

Anderson, Conway, and Schodowski appeared in local and regional TV commercials that often included their quirky brand of humor.

Promises of becoming an actor in Los Angeles and Anderson's fatigue led to his decision to leave Cleveland permanently in the summer of 1966. Shock Theater ended in October 1966, and the Ghoulardi name was retired. WJW tapped both Schodowski and weather presenter Bob Wells (aka "Hoolihan the Weatherman") to co-host the successive program, Hoolihan and Big Chuck.

Move to Los Angeles and career at ABC
After moving to Los Angeles, Anderson first appeared on the first two episodes of Rango, a short-lived comedy that starred Conway. Anderson and Conway soon collaborated on a comedy act, appearing on ABC's Hollywood Palace and releasing two comedy albums together. Beginning in 1974, Anderson replaced Lyle Waggoner as announcer for The Carol Burnett Show, on which his old performing partner Conway (who had been a recurring guest on the show) became a regular performer beginning in the following year.

Anderson found it a challenge to land acting work. His son, Paul Thomas Anderson, also attributes this to his father's profound limitations as an actor: "He was a bad actor, so he never really made it....No, he was bad. When we used to make home movies, he'd be in them and he was bad. We'd be like: 'You [expletive deleted]. No wonder you couldn't get any jobs."

Anderson admittedly had lifelong difficulty with memorization. He moved behind the microphone when Fred Silverman made Anderson the voice of the ABC television network. His voice was heard in the ABC bumpers during the 1970s and 1980s, saying, "This is... ABC!" Anderson's voice is likely best remembered for introducing and promoting the ABC television series The Love Boat and for his newscast introductions for various ABC stations across the country: "Eyewitness News...starts...NOW!" (WEWS in Cleveland, the employer of Dorothy Fuldheim, would be one of these affiliates, utilizing Anderson's voice throughout the 1980s.) Anderson was also the announcer of America's Funniest Home Videos from 1989 to 1995 and did the voiceover for the previews of new episodes during the first three seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation until he was replaced by Don LaFontaine. In addition to his work for ABC, Anderson also did commercial work for Ford, RCA and other clients.

Anderson's signature was emphasizing a particular word. Examples included his enunciation of "Love" when promoting The Love Boat, and "The Man... The Machine... Street Hawk!" from the 1985 motorcycle action series. Anderson told the San Francisco Chronicle that his goal as an announcer was to "try to create a mood. I have to concentrate on each word, on each syllable. I have to bring something special to every sentence I say. If I don't do that, they might as well just get some announcer out of the booth to read it. I want people to hear me talk about a show and then to say, 'Hey, this is going to be great. I want to watch this.'"

Voiceovers in animation
Anderson also lent his narration voice to animated television series. He narrated the opening intros to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 (all for DIC Entertainment) and narrated the first two television shorts of The Powerpuff Girls as part of The What-a-Cartoon! Show until his death in 1997, when the role was taken over by Tom Kenny.

Personal life and death
Despite being a daily presence on American television, Anderson lived in relative anonymity in Southern California. "But that's all right", he said. "If I'm out in public and I feel like being recognized, I just raise my voice and say... 'The Love Boat.'"

Anderson had nine children in total. He had five children with his first wife, Marguerite Hemmer, whom he divorced around the time he ended his Ghoulardi show and left Cleveland. The three older children relocated to live with him in Studio City, while the two youngest children lived in Rhode Island with their mother.

Anderson married actress Edwina Gough soon after she arrived in California, a few weeks after he did so. With Edwina, he had three daughters and one son, filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson. They divorced in the mid-1990s. Ernie then married Bonnie Skolnick, who survived him for a very short time.

A lifelong smoker, Anderson died of lung cancer on February 6, 1997 and is buried in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles. His son, director Paul Thomas Anderson, dedicated his 1997 film Boogie Nights to his memory. In addition, The Drew Carey Show episode "See Drew Run" was dedicated to his memory. His death was also mentioned on an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos that same year.

Influence and legacy
Among others he influenced, Anderson influenced the film work of his son Paul Thomas and of the director Jim Jarmusch. In Paul Thomas Anderson's third film Magnolia, Earl Partridge is dying of cancer like Ernie Anderson. Paul Thomas Anderson has also confirmed that the fireworks scene in his film Boogie Nights was inspired by his father's use of fireworks on the Ghoulardi program. Jarmusch, who watched Ghoulardi as a child living in the Cleveland area, has stated that he was greatly influenced by the character's "anti-hierarchical appreciation of culture" and selection of "weird" background music.

Anderson as "Ghoulardi" has also been cited as an early influence on many Cleveland and Akron-area musicians who formed influential rock and punk bands in the 1970s, including Devo, The Dead Boys, Pere Ubu, and The Cramps.

More than a decade after his death, radio stations could still license Anderson's voice for promotions. By paying a licensing fee, stations including New York City's WHTZ used Anderson's voice for positioning statements such as, "If it's too loud, you're too old" and "Lock it in and rip the knob off!"

Wikipedia:Category names

This page contains a list of guidelines concerning naming conventions for categories. If you wish to propose a new naming convention for categories or modify an existing convention, please do so on the talk page.

Descent
For categorizing people by ancestry or ethnicity, the format is: "FOOian people of BARian descent", where "FOOian" is the person's nationality (country of citizenship) and "BARian" is the person's ethnic ancestry (such as Category:Irish people of Ghanaian descent and Category:American people of German descent).

Occupation
Currently, Wikipedia supports categorizing people by occupation, such as: People by educational institution and People by company, as well as other more specific categories.

For categorizing people by occupation, the format is: FOOs, where FOO is the occupation name (such as Category:Editors); or People in FOO or FOO people, where FOO is the topic of the occupation (such as Category:People in agriculture or Category:Music people).

Occupation categories should not be divided into "current" or "former" categories. For example, Category:Former child actors and Category:Current Minnesota Twins players should not exist.

Residence
For categorizing people by place of residence, the format is: People from Foo (not "Natives of Foo"). Where the commonly used English name for residents of a place is well-known globally (usually the original place of that name), Fooite demonym categories should be category redirected to People from Foo, in order to assist with automated categorization (for example, Category:New Yorkers).

Place of burial
For categorizing people by place of burial, the format is: Burials at Foo Cemetery.

Time periods
By convention, a category name designating a time period with a number (in Arabic numerals) represents a calendar year in the Common Era. For categorizing people by years BCE, the format is: " BC", for example Category:220 BC deaths.

For categorizing people by century, the format is: Category:xx-century foos or Category:xx-century BC foos.

Categories by country
All categories whose subcategories are categories by country (roughly all categories that are members of Category:Categories by country) shall have a per-category naming convention which will apply to all of their subcategories. These naming conventions, their guidelines and their exceptions are listed here. Non-conformance to these naming conventions shall be treated as a criterion for "speedy category renaming" as defined on WP:CFD.

Events
Categories regarding events in countries (along with years and time) are named "... in country." This guideline applies to:

Millennia - Centuries - Decades - Years - Establishments - Disestablishments

Manufactured objects
For categorizing permanently located manufactured objects by country, the format is: "... in country". This guideline applies to:

Airports - American football venues - Amusement parks - Archaeological sites - Art museums - Association football venues - Athletics (track and field) venues (mostly named "athletics" as per non-U.S. usage) - Baseball venues - Basketball venues - Bridges - Buildings and structures - Casinos - Castles - Cathedrals - Cemeteries - Churches - Cities - Cricket grounds - Forts - Gardens - Ghost towns - Golf clubs and courses - Horse racing venues - Hospitals - Hotels - Indoor arenas - Libraries - Monasteries - Motorsport venues - Mosques - Museums - Palaces - Parks - Prisons - Railway stations - Reservoirs - Roads - Rugby union stadiums - Schools - Shopping malls (or shopping centres, based on local usage) - Skyscrapers - Sports venues - Theatres - Towns - Universities and colleges ("Universities" categories are also legitimate in countries where universities and colleges are distinct, i.e. most countries, and are often a subcategory) - Villages - World Heritage Sites - Zoos

Landforms
For categorizing landforms by country, the format is: "... of country". This guideline applies to:

Landforms (top category) - Beaches - Hills - Islands - Lakes - Mountains - Mountain passes - Mountain ranges - Peninsulas - Rivers - Volcanoes

Companies
For categorizing "by country" subcategories of all  by country categories, the format is: ... of country. This guideline applies to:

Airlines - Banks - Book publishing companies - Companies - Defunct companies - Engineering companies - Financial services companies - Insurance companies - Manufacturing companies - Retail companies

State-based topics
For categorizing topics usually in the domain of the state, the format is: "... of country".

Administrative divisions - Foreign relations - Government - Military - Military equipment - Military units and formations - Municipalities * - National parks - Postal systems - Protected areas
 * Administrative divisions use the "of" format and settlements use the "in" format. Municipalities are usually found in non-English speaking countries as third tier administrative divisions covering the whole country including rural areas. In most cases, there are separate designations for settlements such as cities and towns. However where the designation "municipality" is used solely for urban settlements (example, Romania) or where it is the only official designation for cities and towns (example, Spain), the category takes the "in" form.

Political office-holders
For categorizing subcategories of  by country, the format is:
 * ... of country for those concerning holders of a specific office with jurisdiction over a country
 * ... in country for those that group offices of a certain type, operating within a country

This guideline applies to:

Political office-holders - Heads of government - Heads of state - Legislators - Government ministers (or "cabinet secretaries" if that is local usage) - minister lists - Presidents - Prime ministers

 * For categorizing specific jurisdictions within a country, province, state, or equivalent, the format is: ... of places in ...
 * For categorizing the specific jurisdiction, the format is: ... of place

This guideline applies to:

Mayors

Sport
For categorizing "by-country" subcategories of all  by country, the format is: ... in country. This guideline applies to:

Athletics - Association football (Australia, Canada and USA: "soccer") - Baseball - Basketball - Clubs and teams - Cricket - Cycle racing - Golf - Horse racing - Ice hockey - Motorsport - Rugby league - Rugby union - Sport (or sports if that is local usage) - Tennis

Miscellaneous "of country"
For categorizing subcategories of these categories, the format is: "... of country".

Cinema - Coins - Demographics - Economies - Environment - Fauna - Geography - History - Languages - Natural history - Politics - Ships - Trade unions - Weapons

Miscellaneous "in country"
For categorizing subcategories of these categories, the format is: "... in country".

Aviation - Business - Capital punishment - Communications - Crime - Disasters - Education - Ethnic groups - Health - Human rights - Landmarks - Law enforcement - Mass media - Nature conservation - Political parties - Populated places - Public holidays - Rail transport - Religion - Science and technology - Television - Tourism - Transportation (or transport if that is local usage)

Miscellaneous "involving country"
For categorizing subcategories of these categories, the format is: "... involving country".

Battles - Military operations - Naval battles - Sieges - Wars

Miscellaneous
Aircraft ("manufactured by Foo") - Charities ("based in Foo") - Environmental organizations ("based in Foo") - Newspapers ("published in Foo") - Organizations ("based in Foo")

Undecided by country
The convention for these categories is yet to be decided. See the talk page for details. These will be moved up as consensus develops.

 * Films - Category:Films by country
 * Magazines - Category:Magazines by country
 * Law - Category:Law by country (currently mostly "Fooish law")

Technical categories

 * For categorizing Images by country, the format is: "Images of country".
 * For categorizing Lists by country, the format is: "Country-related lists"
 * For categorizing Stubs by region, the format is: "Country stubs".

How to name the country
For "of country" and "in country" categories, the name of the country should appear as it does in the name of the article about that country, with a lowercase "the" if needed for grammatical purposes. Non-sovereign, disputed, supranational, and historical countries and geographic equivalents may be included if the articles to be categorized require it. For reference, see List of sovereign states, List of dependent territories, and the following list.

In category naming, country names should not be abbreviated (except to the extent that they are already in their respective article titles - for example, "United Kingdom", but not "UK" or "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland").

(Note: Links to articles are shown only for reference; links obviously cannot appear in the actual title of a category.)

 * of the Republic of the Congo for Congo-Brazzaville
 * of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for Congo-Kinshasa (formerly Zaire)
 * of China (common name for the People's Republic of China)
 * of Taiwan (common name for the Republic of China)
 * See also: Naming conventions (Chinese)
 * of the Republic of Ireland (for the modern-day state)
 * of Northern Ireland (for the modern-day country)
 * of Cyprus (Greek and Turkish Cyprus usually have combined categories)
 * of Samoa (independent country)
 * of American Samoa (U.S. territory)
 * of Russia (for the modern-day country)
 * of the Bahamas
 * of Bosnia and Herzegovina
 * of the British Virgin Islands
 * of the Cayman Islands
 * of the Central African Republic
 * of the Comoros
 * of the Cook Islands
 * of the Czech Republic
 * of the Dominican Republic
 * of Eswatini
 * of the Falkland Islands
 * of the Faroe Islands
 * of the Federated States of Micronesia
 * of the Gambia
 * of Georgia (country)
 * of the Isle of Man
 * of Ivory Coast
 * of Kosovo
 * of the Maldives
 * of Malta
 * of the Marshall Islands
 * of the Netherlands
 * of North Macedonia
 * of the Philippines
 * of the Pitcairn Islands
 * of Saint Kitts and Nevis
 * of Seychelles
 * of the Solomon Islands
 * of Ukraine
 * of the United Arab Emirates
 * of the United Kingdom
 * of the United States
 * of the United States Virgin Islands
 * of Vatican City
 * of Wallis and Futuna
 * of Western Sahara
 * of Azerbaijan
 * of East Timor
 * of Yemen (the modern-day country that unified former North and South Yemen in the 1990s)
 * of North Korea
 * of South Korea
 * of Slovenia
 * of Croatia
 * of Serbia
 * of Montenegro

Supranational:
 * of the European Union
 * of Ireland (island-wide)
 * etc., on a case-by-case basis

Historical:
 * of the Irish Free State (historical material only)
 * of the Netherlands Antilles (former dependent territory only)
 * of the Soviet Union (former country only)
 * of Yugoslavia (former country only)
 * of Serbia and Montenegro (former country only)
 * etc., on a case-by-case basis

Dealing with overlaps
When historical and political complexities (such as mergers and splits) create articles that belong to two countries, do not create a "Foo of X and Y". Instead, list articles in both "Foo of X" and "Foo of Y"; for example, "Foo of Russia" and "Foo of the Soviet Union", not "Foo of Russia and the Soviet Union". The same applies for geographic features that cross national borders, for example "Foo of the United States" and "Foo of Canada", not "Foo of the United States and Canada".

Categories by nationality
All categories whose subcategories are categories by nationality (roughly all categories that are members of Category:People by nationality or Category:Works by nationality) shall have a per-category naming convention which will apply to all of their subcategories. These naming conventions, their guidelines and their exceptions are listed here. Non-conformance to these naming conventions shall be treated as a criterion for "speedy category renaming" as defined on WP:CFD. Changing these conventions shall require a consensual discussion either directly at WP:CFD or publicized there.

Cultural topics
National subcategories of these categories are named using the nationality rather than the country name, as they follow the national diasporas. However, the container categories are named "by country", e.g. Category:Art by country and Category:Culture by country.

Art - Cuisine - Culture - Literature - Music - Plays

Note that many other sub-topics of "Society" are named using the country name, and so are some cultural topics e.g. Architecture and Classical music.

People by nationality
For categorizing subcategories of People by nationality, the format is: "nationality ...".

Murderers - Musical groups - People by nationality and occupation - People by occupation and nationality - People

Nationality and occupation
For categorizing people by their nationality and occupation, the format is: "fooian fooers", such as Category:Ethiopian musicians.

Concurrent citizenship may be reflected by categorizing the article by each nationality. For example, Category:Canadian actors and Category:American actors for a dual American–Canadian citizen. Categories that combine two nationalities with an occupation, generally should not be created.

The category description should mention the most commonly used names ("Fooians", or "Fooers"), which can be found in verifiable reliable sources.

The template Fooian fooers can be used to provide navigation on each category page. For example:

 * Please note that this template may need to be modified for some categories. To avoid ambiguity, some nationalities are listed as "People of Foo" instead of "Fooian"; for example, "Georgian people" could mean either Category:People from Georgia (country) or Category:People from Georgia (U.S. state). For those categories, use Fooers from Boo. For sub-categories of Category:People from Northern Ireland by occupation, use Fooers from Northern Ireland.
 * Similarly, some nationalities are listed as "Country people" instead of "Fooian people", such as Category:Bosnia and Herzegovina musicians and Category:Democratic Republic of the Congo musicians. In those cases the value used for "nationality" is the name of the country.

How to name a nationality
A list of adjectival forms of place names is available on Wikipedia. In situations where multiple adjectives are possible for a particular nationality (e.g., Argentine vs. Argentinean), discussions at categories for discussion have frequently opted for one alternative over another to ensure consistency in category naming. Note that the singular-form demonym and adjective for many nationalities are not interchangeable. (i.e., Icelander vs. Icelandic; New Zealander vs. New Zealand). Most category names use the adjectival form, not the noun-form demonym.

Some states do not possess unambiguous (i.e., "Congolese" for Democratic Republic of the Congo) or universally-applicable (i.e., "Bosnian" for Bosnia and Herzegovina) adjectives. In these circumstances, the format is: "Country FOO", where Country is the unamended name of the country.

The list below reflects the most recent consensuses on what form to use for particular nationalities. These adopted forms may be subject to change by consensus and proposals to do so can be made by nominating the affected categories at categories for discussion. References are included to discussions that have discussed particular name formats.

Former nationalities
In general, the formats for people of former nationalities is less settled. The list below represents examples which are reasonably well settled.

After September 2022, "of" is now deprecated and "from" will become the standard for former countries that have compound names.

Therefore, for categorizing people of former nationalities with a compound name, the format is: "FOOs from Country".

• Austro-Hungarian FOOs (Austria-Hungary)

• Byzantine FOOs (Byzantine Empire)

• Czechoslovak FOOs (Czechoslovakia)

• Dutch Antillean FOOs (Netherlands Antilles)

• Ancient Egyptian FOOs (Ancient Egypt)

• East German FOOs (East Germany)

• Rhodesian FOOs (Rhodesia)

• FOOs from the Russian Empire (Russian Empire)

• Serbia and Montenegro FOOs (Serbia and Montenegro)

• Soviet FOOs (Soviet Union)

• Republic of Venice FOOs (Republic of Venice)

• North Yemeni FOOs (Yemen Arab Republic)

• South Yemeni FOOs (South Yemen)

• Yugoslav FOOs (Yugoslavia)

Works of art categories by artist
All categories whose subcategories are categories by creative artist (roughly all categories that are members of Category:Works by artist) shall have a per-category naming convention which will apply to all of their subcategories. These naming conventions, their guidelines and their exceptions are listed here. Non-conformance to these naming conventions shall be treated as a criterion for "speedy category renaming" as defined at WP:CFD. Changing these conventions shall require a consensual discussion either directly at WP:CFD or publicized there.

Music by composer
For categorizing music by composer, the format is: "Compositions by [composer]".

Compositions by composer – Operas by composer – Symphonies by composer – Songs by composer

Music by performer
For categorizing music by performer, the format is: "[Performer] works".

Albums by artist – Songs by artist

Visual arts
For categorizing articles of each type of work of an artist, the format is: "[type of work]s by [artist]" (for example, Category:Paintings by Salvador Dalí). For categorizing subcategories of different types of work of an artist (for example, for paintings and sculpture), the format for the parent category is: "Works by Foo".

Paintings by artist – Sculptures by artist

Architecture
For categorizing architecture by architect, the format is: "[Architect] buildings", with exceptions for architects involved in more than one type of work.

Buildings and structures by architect

Literature
For categorizing literature by writer, the format is: "[Work]s by [writer]".

Works by writer – Novels by writer – Books by writer – Essay collections by writer – Essays by writer – Picture books by writer – Plays by writer – Poetry by writer – Short stories by writer – Short story collections by writer

Stage and screen
For categorizing stage and screen works by contributor, the format is: "[Works] by [person]".

– – –

Name of the artist
The name used should match the name of the biography article about the person, including any disambiguator, e.g. Category:Books by Peter Carey (novelist). The only exceptions are categories for visual arts, where the name used for the artist may instead match usage within the articles on the works; e.g. Category:Paintings by Sergei Ivanovich Osipov does not have to follow the article name Sergei Osipov (artist).

Works of art categories by subject
Category names of a subject should match the name for that subject within articles and citations (including spelling and capitalisation), rather than the name of the Wikipedia article on the topic. For example:
 * Category:Entombment of Christ in art and Category:Paintings of the Entombment of Christ, although the generic parent Category:Burial of Jesus follows the article Burial of Jesus
 * Category:Venus in art and Category:Temples of Venus etc, although the generic parent Category:Venus (mythology) follows the article Venus (mythology)

Short stub articles
Hi! Short articles are fine, but many of the ones you're leaving aren't long enough for inclusion. Simply saying "X is a writer for Dark Shadows" and not giving any further history of the person isn't really an article. If you're planning to expand these, please do.

"Permission"
Here you asked another user not to revert your edits without your permssion. Sorry pal, but that's just not cool. Most everyone can edit Wikipedia, and no one requires your permission to change or remove your contributions. I'm sure that you put a lot of work into your edits, and that it hurts to see them removed. But no article here is "your's". Thanks.--Sean Black (talk?)

Disagreement
I noticed that you tend to respond to criticism with "I STRONGLY DISAGREE" in all caps, and that your responses indicate that you have not heeded the advice of your fellow editors. Whether or not you agree with Wikipedia policy, you must abide by it if you wish to continue editing. Please make an effort to work constructively with other editors and to take their advice when it is offered. For starters, consider reading WP:OWN as it is clear from your above comment and recent edits to April 1 that you do not understand the boldface note at the bottom of each edit page: If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others, do not submit it. Isopropyl 05:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Please read my message again. The point I am trying to get across to you is that you should be listening to other users and taking their advice when they give it to you, such as signing your comments with four tildes as others have told you before. I suggest (again) that you read [{WP:OWN]]. I'm not sure what your complaints about this being a "free" encyclopedia are in reference to; anyone can edit Wikipedia, but everyone must also abide by rules. Isopropyl 06:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Your Additions to Date Pages
Hey Shkarter1985 - I notice that you've been editing date pages to add dates of television program premieres and that sort of thing to the Events sections. Many Wikipedians who actively work on WikiProject Days of the year have discussed making some guidelines for what should be listed in Events and what should not, and our proposal can be found here: Notability on a global scale over time. As you will find if you read the proposal, dates of television show premieres and other entertainment events may not be notable if they were not significant firsts globally and/or did not have a significant impact on a global scale. We will be going through the date pages soon and removing items that are not notable according to this criteria. Please be aware that some of your additions may be removed - I hope you will be understanding in this process. I notice on your edits you write "My info I added should not be removed" - by submitting any edits to Wikipedia, you are putting them up for deletion and merciless modification. One editor alone doesn't make a great encyclopedia - the value in Wikipedia rests in the fact that editors collaborate to make educational and interesting works. If you have any comments, please reply on my talk page. Fabricationary 06:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: WSPA-TV
Sorry about that. Per the fact that Wikipedia is not a fansite for WSPA, this section can be counted as listcruft, and I believe other editors can agree with this fact. Remember, you do not "own" these articles, as I have seen evidence of this on the other messages on this talk page. Please do not "demand" an explanation, as this does not come on as being polite. I'll leave it up this time because you asked, but don't be suprised if someone else removes it. -Whomp 12:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sybil Weinberger

A tag has been placed on Sybil Weinberger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Pontificalibus (talk) 21:46, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

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

2014 in American television
Generally only the most notable of cancellations for long term series should be mentioned in the top section of the article. This cancellation wasn't notable; Nick has a long list of one-season series, and the circumstances weren't that unusual beyond kidvid and entertainment blogs overhyping a general 'grown out of their role' dispute that it needs more than a mention in the regular 'cancelled series' section. As for your assertions I was personally out for you? I didn't even know when it was added, or who, and I have no vendetta against any editor here, nor do I feel like I'm a 'rival' to anyone.

Shkarter1985, I want to stress that this is not a matter of debate. You run the risk of violating a person's privacy when you publish a birthdate or any other personal data in a global encyclopedia. I'm sure you would not like it if your personal data were published without asking you. Similarly, Wikipedia only publishes birthdates if they can be attributed to reliable sources, like an interview, where it is presumed that the subject doesn't object to that information being released to a wide audience. Now that you have a clear explanation, if you violate WP:BLPPRIVACY again at Wikipedia, I, or Yamaguchi, or another admin will block your account to prevent harm to the encyclopedia and to prevent harm to the article's subject. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 15:17, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I don't know about month or day but this might serve as a cite for birth year:

Proposed deletion of Terrayne Crawford

The article Terrayne Crawford has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Proposed deletion of Henry Kaplan

The article Henry Kaplan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "WP:BEFORE comes up empty on virtually any sources. The name is fairly common so it's difficult to sift through the other people by the same name, but there's no indication of independent notability."

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

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

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

Otho-Corpus Gospels

The Otho-Corpus Gospels is a badly damaged and fragmentary 8th century illuminated manuscript. It was part of the Cotton library and was mostly burnt in the 1731 fire at Ashburnham House. The manuscript now survives as charred fragments in the British Library (MS Cotton Otho C V). Thirty six pages of the manuscript were not in the Cotton collection and survived the fire. They are now in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (MS 197B).

Original manuscript
The manuscript, before the fire, was a major insular Gospel Book with close ties to the Lindisfarne Gospels, the Book of Kells and the Durham Cathedral Library, MS A. II. 10., the Echternach Gospels, and other insular manuscripts, with both textual and decorative similarities. Although it is not known where or when this manuscript was made, the similarities to the manuscripts noted above make it likely that it was made in one of the monasteries in the network of monasteries founded by St. Columba.

Surviving fragments
The extant fragments show that the manuscript was decorated in much the same style as other Insular Gospel Books. The incipit pages of the Gospels had large decorated initials, which dominated the page similar to those in the Lindifarne Gospels, the Book of Durrow, the Book of Kells and other Insular Gospel Books. For example, folio 28 recto in the British Library contains the remnant of the incipit page to the Gospel of Mark. All that is still legible is a portion of the word "Initium". (In the Vulgate, Mark begins "Initium evangelii Iesu Christi".) The letters "INI" are formed into a large monogram decorated with red and yellow knotwork. This page was so damaged and shrunk by the fire that the vellum has become translucent and the text on the verso side is visible on the recto side.

In many of the insular gospels, such as the Lindisfarne Gospels, and the Book of Kells, each Gospel has an Evangelist portrait before the Gospel. In many other insular gospels, such as the Book of Durrow and the Echternach Gospels the portrait is replaced by a full page miniature of the Evangelist's symbol. Folio 27 recto (see illustration at left) in the British Library, which is one of the best preserved pages of this manuscript, contains the image of the lion of Mark. This page bears a remarkable stylistic similarity to the corresponding page in the Echternach Gospels, (see here) and gives a hint as to the quality of the manuscript before the fire.

Astle's copy
A copy of a page of the prefatory material for Mark was made in 1725 for the Earl of Oxford, and used by Thomas Astle for his book The Origin and Progress of Writing, which was published in 1784. The letters at the top of the page were display capitals, which were used to begin major sections of text. Farther down the page there is a second set of capitals in a different style which are surrounded by a block of small red dots. At the bottom of the page the scribe of the copy included a "sampler" of letter forms found in the manuscript which was not found on the original page. Astle's manuscript containing the copy is also in the British Library (Stowe MS 1061, fol. 36r).

Lakemba

Lakemba is the name of two places, and the Sydney one was directly named after the Fijian one.

 * Lakemba, New South Wales is a suburb in the south-west of Sydney. The suburb is a great example of how migration patterns and ethnic clustering has had on the cultural, social, and built environment. Despite the various non-English background groups that call Lakemba home, there is a predominance of Lebanese-heritage and other ethnic groups that practice the religion of Islam. In the 2005 Cronulla riots, Lakemba alongside a neighbouring suburb, Punchbowl, was the site of confrontation between Lebanese and 'aussie' groups in conflict.

In Sydney, Lakemba is not unique in terms of the cultural impact its residents have had on it. Other suburbs, like Cabramatta, which is further south-west to Lakemba has a large Vietnamese-heritage population. Like Lakemba, the impact on the built environment from Vietnamese migrants is significant.

In recent times, these unique neighbourhoods have become a tourist attraction, for local and international travellers. In particular, those wishing to sample authentic foreign foods.

 * Lakemba Mosque is in the suburb and is one of the largest mosques in Australia
 * Lakemba railway station serves the suburb
 * The Electoral district of Lakemba is based around the suburb in Sydney
 * Lakeba, originally spelt Lakemba, is an island in the Lau Group of Islands in the Eastern Division of Fiji.
