[edit] Categories For Discussion: change from Protected areas "of" India to Protected areas "in" India

Hi to members of this wikiproject. I have been doing what I thought was non-controversial cleanup work within WikiProject Protected Areas WP:PAREAS on the Protected areas in the United States.

There is an ongoing "Categories For Discussion" proposal to rename a whole bunch of U.S. subcategories to use "Protected areas of" the U.S. or "of" a given U.S. state, rather than "in" the U.S. or subregion. The discussion is here: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 May 9#Categories: Protected areas, National Forests, National Monuments, bird sanctuaries, wildlife sanctuaries of/in the United States. It was pointed out that these renames would be inconsistent with categories in other nations. I plan to expand the CFD proposal, or create a new one, to propose changing "Protected areas of Australia" to "Protected areas in Australia", and the same for other countries. I don't want to step on toes, but this should apply also to rename Category:Protected areas of India to Category:Protected areas in India, and make corresponding changes "of" to "in" for various subcategories, so I want to give you notice here before and/or while I compose the proposal. I will watch / participate in discussion here.

The basic reasoning: "Protected areas" is a designation of a world-wide body, the IUCN, and no nation designates Protected Areas, so I believe that it is proper to describe "Protected areas in" a given nation or subregion, rather than Protected areas of the nation. Nations do designate their own National Parks and National Monuments and so on, so it is proper to say "National Parks of the United States" or other nation, but National Parks are not "of" a subregion so there should be subcategories like National Parks in Alabama (a U.S. state).

The implementation would all be done automatically, by a bot that will implement the rename for all articles in any affected category. A notice of proposed change of category name will be posted in each category, so that adequate notice will be given to anyone maintaining/watching any affected category.

By the way, a big batch of category renames was done for U.S. National Historic Landmarks "of" any given state to National Historic Landmarks "in" the given state, a few months ago.

I hope this should be recognized as an improvement or neutral, and not be problematic. Please do comment! doncram (talk) 01:35, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 May 13#Renames of categories for National Parks, Protected Areas, related categories world-wide which proposes renames for various categories of protected areas in India, as well as much more. doncram (talk) 20:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:INDIA Tagging with TinucherianBot

TinucherianBot can automatically tag articles with {{WP India}} Banner as {{WP India|class=|importance=}} to the talk page of articles without the project banner. It can also add the workgroup paramaters like "|kerala=yes|kerala-importance=" etc ,if needed. The currently supported workgroups are Kerala, Maharashtra, Andhra pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Bengal, Goa, Himachal Pradesh , Karnataka , Punjab,cities, Cinema, Literature, Protected Areas of India, History, Politics, states, Geography,Maps,Districts and Tamil.

If you need so, you need to provide me with the Categories to run the Bot. Due to some technical issues, the Bot will not run recursively to sub-categories. The requester should kindly verify that there are NO non-related articles in the category.
You may request for the bot run on my talk page... Thanks -- TinuCherian (Wanna Talk?) - 06:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
