[edit] Lakes
Please do not add Canadian lakes to "Lakes of Canada" category, this category has got already a subcategories. Subcategorization is common policy on Wikipedia. -- Darwinek 11:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- No. They should be added to apropriate categories. New Brunswick, Nunavut etc. should be created. It's not true that categorization is Wikipedia standard. Subcategorization is Wikipedia rule! Look at category "Explorers", you won't find a single article there. All are in subcategories. Subcategorization is more logical, imagine all rivers in the USA in one category, total chaos. Deal with the Wikipedia's rules or the community will eat you alive. This is what I have learned here for being here almost two years. -- Darwinek 16:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] French commune stubs
I've noticed you've made some quick stubs for a number of French communes. Note that most regions of France have their own stub category (see the subcategories at Category:France geography stubs). Also, it is more helpful if you can find some information and put in the infobox {{French commune}}. If the information is not on the corresponding French page, it is often on the Italian, Dutch, or Polish pages for the commune. Finally, I noticed some of them are missing a period (.) at the end of the sentence, a simple grammatical mistake, perhaps from copying text. Please be careful to make them full sentences. You may also want to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject French communes for more help and sympathy. Thanks for your dedication! Rigadoun (talk) 18:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Marrakech Enquiry
In repsonse to your question on Marrakech:
Here is Wikipedia's stance on issues such as this: Manual_of_Style: Disputes_over_style_issues
[edit] ...ourist or ...orist?
Fowler says that words ending ...our retain the 'u' when 'ist' is added, but it's not important enough to argue about. And styles have probably changed since Fowler wrote. I give in. CanOfWorms 10:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
