Concert tours by country

Category:Concert tours by country. Any thoughts on the categorization of concert tours in this manner. An example is Total World Tour. It seems very excessive, and would each one truly be defining to the whole tour? Thanks. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:25, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality and residence

@Jc37 : Please explain your reverts. Frenchl (talk) 03:41, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Please explain why you think your addition to this guideline was appropriate. There are many editors who watch this page, so please don't think you need to tailor your response only to me when responding. I look forward to reading your thoughts. - jc37 00:55, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is nationality an occupation? Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 05:04, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When merging the page "Categorization of people", you forgot voluntary omitted this section :
"People are sometimes categorized by notable residence, regardless of ethnicity, heritage, or nationality. Residential categories should not be used to record people who have never resided in that place. Nationality is reflected by the occupation category (above), not country or county or city of residence."
You can find this section here at WP:COPPLACE : https://web.archive.org/web/20230325051002/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#By_place
What you have done is against the rules of Wikipedia and I might raise your case to ANI. Frenchl (talk) 11:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Accusations and threats are probably not the way to move towards a consensus. That aside, you are welcome to go to AN/I, but I would politely suggest that you may wish to read WP:BOOMERANG first.
In the meantime, the section you mention was merged to this page, as can be seen in this edit here: [1].
My guess is that it was subsequently edited. What is your specific concern? - jc37 15:56, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it was subsequently edited, you have to re-add it.
My speficic concern is that the sentence "Nationality is reflected by the occupation category (above), not country or county or city of residence." has been added/transferred nowhere. This is your choice and this is a voluntary omission. Frenchl (talk) 19:21, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly what do you think I did (share diff)? Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 05:59, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
not much, it's jc37's edits that are problematic Frenchl (talk) 06:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Content dispute at Talk:Shungite

Tagishsimon (talk · contribs) and I are in disagreement on whether the article Shungite should be placed into Category:Pseudoscience or its subcategories. We cannot seem to agree on whether pseudoscientific claims about shungite are a defining trait for that topic. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 02:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes we are. We have discussed it at Talk:Shungite#Pseudoscience categories. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:08, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
