Logos of record labels in unidentified countries
[edit]Hi. I'm in the middle of organizing logos for record labels and I don't think the category will be necessary once the main category has been mostly emptied. There isn't really a difference between the main categories and all these "logos of whatever in unidentified countries" ones. Especially since they aren't from unidentified countries in most cases anyway. But regardless, their pointless at best and needlessly over complicate things at things worst. So I'd appreciate it if you didn't recreate the category. It's just extra cruft that makes it harder to organize the logos. Thanks. Adamant1 (talk) 19:24, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- I use the category for labels whose country i have not been able to identify despite trying. You are free to organize the logos alone if you want Trade (talk) 19:27, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Just put it in the main category in that case and someone else can figure it out. I don't have a problem doing it. It should be a given that the country of origin for the image hasn't been identified if it's in the top level category though. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:18, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- The "just throw it in the main cat" attitude is the whole reason why none of the country subcats ever gets used. The unidentified country category shows people that this is not supposed to be the norm Trade (talk) 20:38, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- I chalk that up to the endless badgering and tantrum throwing anytime someone tries to do something on here myself. There's a general lack of users to organize things on here because everyone's been blocked or ran off at this point. I don't even disagree though. I wouldn't have a problem with the category or similar ones if I wasn't in the process of going through them but there's tools like User:Waggers/degrandparent that don't work if the files are already in a subcategory. There's a lot of overcategorization with logos that can't be dealt with because their dumped in a category for "unidentified logos" when they aren't actually unidentified and/or are already in other subcategories. Otherwise I probably wouldn't care. --Adamant1 (talk) 21:26, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
