(IHL) team categories

  • Rename The reasoning behind the (IHL) in these categories is that these team names have been used in other lower minor leagues. However, since no other teams in those lower minor leagues (WCHL, ECHL, CHL, UHL) have categories for their players, it should be inherent that the categories in question are for the IHL alumni of those teams. If there ever comes a time when those lower minor league teams get categories for their alumni, they can be the ones with the parenthetical distinctions. Since the IHL was a high-ranking minor league in its day, however, it should receive top billing in category naming. Skudrafan1 20:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename These all were by far the highest-profile teams to use these names. BoojiBoy 20:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians with current projects

I kept the "o" and "t" capitalized due to the COTW acronym.--Mike Selinker 17:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians by condition

On the last one, I believe MBTI is the exam, not the condition. I didn’t bother with the Meyer-Briggs subcategories, as the one person I know who bought into MBTI exams referred to herself by the abbreviation rather than the spelled-out version.--Mike Selinker 16:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm inclined to merge this into both category:Metallica songs and the sparsely populated category:Instrumentals, as no other artist is equally subcategorized. Thoughts?--Mike Selinker 16:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Botswana educators

Category:Botswana educators to Category:Botswanan educators

  • No vote. Moved from WP:RM. Vegaswikian 01:56, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename for consistency with Category:Botswanan people by occupation and other subcats. --musicpvm 05:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. Carina22 10:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Per discussion on talk page, Botswanan does not exist in Botswana English - as with Hong Kong or New Zealand, the adjective is just the country's name (or Batswana or Setswana, for people or language/culture), eg: "Botswana government", "Botswana territory"[1], "Botswana football"[2], "Botswana justice"[3], "Botswana authorities"[4]. Proper nouns (although individually not a good guide) are universally Botswana, not Botswanan: Botswana Housing Corporation, Botswana Defence Force, Botswana Democratic Party, Botswana Netball Association...
    Botswanan does exist in UK dictionaries, but doesn't seem to be used by people who have anything to do with Botswana. Since one usage is wrong in the local English, and the other usage neutral in all Englishes, there doesn't seem any justification for going with Botswanan. So unfortunately there is a major renaming job to be done with the other categories, to either "Botswana X" or "X of Botswana". But better now than when even more cats have been made...

Rename to Category:Adventure Game Studio. All categories are for related articles... -- ProveIt (talk) 01:09, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. If they're not related, why would they be in the category? ;) Luna Santin 01:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Ruff Ryders artists, convention of Category:Artists by record label. -- ProveIt (talk) 00:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
