::::I have combined 3 similar noms. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:04, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

  • Oppose for the reasons I set out in 2 noms of the previous day. This nom is an act of American imperialism. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:04, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Support, for consistency. Most organizations categories above country level already have a 'z', so why not all, making category names better predictable? Marcocapelle (talk) 18:28, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Peterkingiron is wrong to see the use of z an act of American imperialism. See American and British English spelling differences. I would very much like to organise a site-wide forum about which spelling people want to settle on. How is that to be done? Rathfelder (talk) 19:35, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

== Category:Uniform Resource Locator ==

:The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

:The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering 23:58, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Uniform Resource Locator to :Category:URL

:Nominator's rationale: The main article is URL. "URL" is ambiguous (see URL (disambiguation)), but the meaning found in the article URL is overwhelmingly the primary meaning. I would suspect that many people who would know what URL means would not know what "Uniform Resource Locator" means. I believe that it makes more sense to have the article and category match than have a category name that is 100% unambiguous. Note that a subcategory uses the abbreviation: {{cat|URL-shortening services}}. (This was opposed at CFD speedy rename.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

{{collapse top|Copy of speedy discussion}}

::*Oppose - Note argument about "URL shortening services", however the "shortening services" gives that title context. URL by itself does not, so the current category is more informative, and better suited. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

{{collapse bottom}}

  • Oppose. Creates un-necessary ambiguity. The abbreviation works in the sub-cat {{cat|URL-shortening services}}, because the extra two words give it context and remove ambiguity; but as a bare title, it is ambiguous. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:32, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
  • It's unlikely anyone will think that "URL" in a category name refers to the "upper rostral length of a cephalopod beak" – especially when one considers the category in the context of the parent categories and subcategory. {{cat|London}} is ambiguous as well, but we don't have a problem using it because it's the overwhelming primary meaning – and it matches the main article London. The same principles can apply here. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:39, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
  • OK, I have struck my oppose. After checking the v low usage of the alternative names, I reckon the other terms are so obscure that I will make an exception to the general principle that category names should be unambiguous. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:02, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Support - the risk of contamination by stray cephalopod beaks seems likely to be low. Oculi (talk) 09:07, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Support Cats should match the article title in all cases. UnitedStatesian (talk) 00:05, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Maybe not the category for Tours. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:54, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

  • As the United Kingdom is part of Europe, we should be a bit more considerate with European categories. It should probably become part of the RFC that has been announced before, by User:BrownHairedGirl. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:09, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
  • As :Category:Organisations based in Europe currently uses "s" consistently, that tree should be considered as a whole. However, it would best be dealt with as part of a wider RFC. – Fayenatic London 12:49, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:05, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

: These global categories were all created by the prolific {{yo|Rathfelder}} using UK English; see {{tl|UKian}}. A switch to Oxford English - see {{tl|British English Oxford spelling}} - would harmonise these with American usage. Each is an isolated instance with no ‘by country’ subcats or subcats using ‘organisation’ and renaming will introduce no inconsistencies anywhere. Each contains some American entities. 'Anesthesia organisations' is particularly awkward. Oculi (talk) 10:59, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

  • Yes to all these. I have submitted myself to re-education. Rathfelder (talk) 11:01, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

::Fortunately "Anesthesia" is not a term used very much in the categorization system. Rathfelder (talk) 18:44, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

::: It's a subcat of {{cl|Anesthesiology organizations}}. Happy to concede that it's a US 'z' in this case. Oculi (talk) 21:28, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

::::We dont care where the z comes from. Rathfelder (talk) 22:23, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

  • Oppose all and stop this American imperialist tendency to impose a spelling not found in Latin, English (except American English), French, Swedish, etc on the rest of the world. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:10, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Support consistency for global categories. DexDor (talk) 19:31, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

::*Oppose all - organisations is also a valid spelling. If we are going down this path, we could easily argue "z" should be changed to "z". Leave it as it is, or organise a site-wide forum about which spelling people want to settle on. If want global consistency we should organise a poll to work out which spelling we want, or more happily let's just go with the flow. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

:::*The use of two different spellings for Organization in categories is a time wasting nuisance. Please read American and British English spelling differences before claiming that this is American imperialism.Rathfelder (talk) 19:40, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

::::*I suspect you wanted to reply to Peterkingiron. I claim nothing about imperialism. I just think if we do this, there is technically nothing stopping other users doing the opposite change (z to s). To do this properly, and prevent future edit wars on the topic of z vs s, my feeling is that there should be a policy at a higher level that we agree to use "s" or "z", not just on this topic but similar words that have alternate z/s spellings in the future. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 19:48, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

:::::* The point is that the 'ize' of Shakespeare, the King James Bible and Samuel Johnson is acceptable globally whereas 'ise' is not. Accordingly global categories should follow {{cl|Organizations}}. Oculi (talk) 16:33, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

  • Support, in organizations categories above country level the 'z' already dominates. Let's make it consistent. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:07, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Support all. I would support harmonising of all national categories to use "z" as well, which would require a centralised discussion. However, these can go ahead if agreed here. – Fayenatic London 12:45, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
