| Thank you today for ], 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.

| :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) | |||
| You can use ] as an infobox. We usually use it in articles about municipalities in Slovakia. Coordinates may be found and some of the location maps . Coats of arms (few of them) are . Have fun. ] 15:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| 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.

(] 11:27, 2 September 2006 (UTC)) | |||
| I've put forward a proposal for creating the stub on ]. Can you also add a few notes to help make the case for creating the stub, i.e. saying that you intend to create many more and that it will be well over 50 articles. (] 11:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)) | |||

| Hello. Thanks for welcoming me back. :) I have spent my vacation in ]. It was wonderful. I wanted to ask you if people in Wales speak with each other in English or in Cymraeg ?

| == Villages in the Czech Republic == | |||
| There are officially 6248 cities, towns and villages in the Czech Republic, about 95% of them are villages. The sub-categorizing may be useful but AFAIK neither Czech nor German Wikipedias (which have better coverage than here) do not use it. | |||
| I use district categories because it is the most natural (for the Czechs) and these categories also cover castles, lakes and such. The same categorisation was (later) adopted in Czech Wiki. Regions, as they exist now, are quite novel in the CR and most people are still thinking in older geographical structures. | |||
| I am not sure how this is solved for countries with similar or larger # of villages or whether there are some semi-standards or recomendations. The current huge category is automatically splitted and there's navigation bar to quickly find what one needs. ] 14:43, 5 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : My opinion is following: technically it doesn'n make problem and I am very lazy for changes. However if the others think otherwise I'll accomodate. Perhaps you can get opinion from ] (the most active one in creating geo-stubs on Czech Wiki) or other people or those who structure such categories. ] 14:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :: I'd asked Bilboq for opinion. Other user active in this area is ] who created list ], .... ] 15:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Districts have advantage that they have usually managable size - each have from about 30 (few smallest ones) to 200 (few largest ones) municipalities. Usually around 100. Many of them consits of smaller villages. If you count every village in each of the 6248 municipalities, you get about 20500 villages (some of them are in fact towns or town/city districts). Add some castles, some notable landmarks, etc ... and you can end up with 30000 articles about some geographic locations in czech republic. If you split them into 78 districts, you have on average 380 per districts ... which mean two pages in category listing. | |||
| If you use regions, you'll end up with average of 2140 pages in each of 14 regions, which is badly managable (there is that stupid limitation of showing at most 200 items on each page). | |||
| --] 20:22, 7 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : To make it clear about the terminology: municipality (''obec'' - village, town) is an official administrative structure and which may and often does consist from parts (''část obce'' - villages, hamlets, districts). So far en: has only articles about the municipalities - to cover all the villages on en: is practically impossible within next years. Czech Wiki tries to create complete coverage. ] 22:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC) | |||
