User talk:Time
Thanks for your work categorizing non-English articles. However, I would request you avoid specific categorizations and simply add pages to general "language" categories. For example, a Russian article could be a member of Category:Network which you may want to move to Category:Network (Русский). However, this category does not exist. Rather, the appropriate category would be Category:Сеть. To be safe, simply categorize Russian articles as Category:Русский and allow Russian-speaking users to re-categorize appropriately.
Subcategories are listed on each general "language" category page (e.g. see the "Subcategories" section on Category:Русский). The concern is that you are creating duplicate categories.

- I realize that your recommendation is sensible and well thought out. However, basing on other languages' naming conventions, the names for categories appear to be [[Category:Name in English (Localized language)]], as opposed to [[Category:Translated name]] or [[Category:Language]]. See: Arch Linux User-Community Repository (AUR) (Italiano), for example. It contains the categories: Category:About Arch (Italiano), Category:Package management (Italiano), Category:Development (Italiano), Category:Arch development (Italiano), Category:General (Italiano), instead of a translated name.

- The point I wished to make was to avoid creating new categories unless planning on re-categorizing everything; every language seems to follow a different scheme:
- Category:Páginas ordenadas por tema (Español) and Español categories are of the form [[Category:Name in Español (Español)]]
- Category:Pages sorted by topic (Česky) and Česky categories are of the form [[Category:Name in English (Česky)]]
- Category:Русский]] and Русский categories are of the form [[Category:Name in Русский]]
- The point I wished to make was to avoid creating new categories unless planning on re-categorizing everything; every language seems to follow a different scheme:
- If able to understand existing category names (e.g. in the case of Česky, Italiano), please do re-categorize appropriately. Otherwise, every language has a [[Category:Language]] page which should be treated as Category:Uncategorized (English), in my opinion.

This is how they do:
Message. --User A :responding to User A. --User B ::responding to User B. --User C :responding to User A. --User D
Please top edit warring. You increase indent when responding to a message, it's that simple. Time 18:23, 8 December 2009 (EST)
