Category:Open content companies

Hi, you created Category:Open content companies as "not a subcat of Category:Open content". Why not? It seems to me that it should be. – Fayenatic London 10:53, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Yes, because a company is a subcat of company, not of content. Content is something that can be digitally transfered across tcpip, a company cannot be therefore is not a subcat. Just because it is related to does not make it a sub category see Subcategory James Michael DuPont (talk) 15:43, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

But even though food and drink are substances that can be ingested, whereas Category:Food and drink companies/Category:Food- and drink-related organizations cannot be ingested, yet the latter is a valid sub-category of Category:Food and drink. In Wikipedia, sub-cats are used for broader relationships between topics than the sub-set principle stated in the mathematical article subcategory.

For a recent discussion on how sub-cats do have shifts in meaning, you might be interested to see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Categories#A_big_problem_with_our_category_structures. – Fayenatic London 21:29, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I dont think this is a good idea. Is this official policy? James Michael DuPont (talk) 23:29, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

I admit that WP:SUBCAT doesn't say so. I have started a discussion at WT:CAT on this. Feel free to raise your objection there. – Fayenatic London 22:35, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Arias, Aleman & Mora

2019 US Banknote Contest

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
