| :Thanks again... the reason why we don't need category is that e.g. Villages and municipalities in Zvolen District is a subcategory of Villages and municipalities in the Banská Bystrica Region. In other words, the article is in a way included in the Region category even if only the District category is shown. ] 16:27, 29 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::Yes. Because the Region category is so "crowded", and the subcategories start with the letter V, they will show up only if you click "next 200". By the way, yes it's true that the municipalities are called something else in Hungarian. This makes interwiki-ing somewhat difficult, but it is nonetheless necessary. ] 16:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::No. The District subcategories in which they are contained are indeed listed in the Region category. We can't have a Region category comprised of all the several hundred municipalities in all the district. That simply doesn't work. ] 16:37, 29 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Faroese ships == | |||
| Many thanks for your work on the ] and ] pages. A small confusion seems to have arisen. The domestic ferries within the Faroe Islands are "Strandfaraskip Landsins" - their largest vessel is called the Smyril. This is separate from "Smyril Line", which operates the weekly international service from Tórshavn to Iceland, Shetland, Norway and Denmark. They only have one vessel - the Norröna. Perhaps you could rename your "Smyril Line" page as simply "Smyril" and start a new "Smyril Line (international ferry service)" site. See websites and for more info.

| Great stuff, but please don't place the charts showing the entire region and the whole of Slovakia in the articles - readers can access these by clicking on the links you provide, and they don't tell us anything about the topic of the article. It would be more appropriate to put in a map showing the location fo the village or town. Best regards - ] 18:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == List of villages and municipalities in Slovakia == | |||
| Good work. I am afraid I will not have enough time to help you with the stub creation. I have created some of the articles about towns and villages in Slovakia and I will be happy to expand and create some new ones. But I doubt I will be able to help you very much. So, just few advices: All municipalities in Slovakia are legally divided into two categories: towns and villages. I wonder if it is a good idea to have two overlapping lists (see ]). Statistical data can be found and it is a very helpful (though not very well-designed) website. I think there is no need to include the maps of the given region and district in an article about a municipality. But you can find some maps with the precise location of a municipality in the commons, in the Category:Locator maps of cities in Slovakia. Good luck and if you have any more specific question, feel free to drop me a line. ] 19:45, 1 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ==Vale of Glamorgan stub category== | |||
| Hi, I created it before but it was voted for deletion as there weren't enough articles to make it worthwhile and the stub was not appropriately named. If you think that Vale of Glamorgan will have more than 50 geographical stubs (which is the rule of thumb) then it may be worth creating again, submit your proposal to ] otherwise just use the Wales-geo-stub.

Thank you today for Castell Coch, introduced (in 2015) as "a quaint Gothic Revival castle to the north of Cardiff in south Wales, which was built by William Burges for John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute in the 1870s. A castle had existed on the site in medieval times but later fell into ruin. The interior design of the castle has been cited as one of the shining examples of the High Victorian Gothic, though Bute rarely used the place as a residence. For a period a vineyard was cultivated at the castle, unusual in Britain. Today it is run by the Welsh heritage agency Cadw."! - As it happened, my story is also about a building, because its architect would have been 105 today. (When the DYK appeared, he was still alive.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:34, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
