| Right, my bad. The spelling variant should be a synonym because the moment somebody types 'rik-' with a 'k' [rickshaw stand] will be overlooked. |

Please, consider adding a [station building] + [head house (train station)] (as synonim) categories as subcategories for [train station]
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_building">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station_building<;!-- m -->
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_house">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_house<;!-- m -->
The problem is difference between [train station] as combination of tracks, depots, platforms etc. and [train station] as synonym of main building with ticket office, waiting rooms etc. In some countries it is not a synonyms, so we have a difficulties and conflicts with translations and interpretations. More precious categorizations can help. No need to clean [train station] however, it would work perfect together with new one. |

| Just for the record, [station building (railway)] was created before [station building (train station)] but by the time I noticed the duplication the newer cat was used more times than the older cat (perhaps because of the forum notification?) so [station building (railway)] was merged with [station building (train station)]. I've nested [station building (train station)] to [train station] since the building is linked directly to the train station. |

It should not be nested to [train station] but it should be nested to [railway] category itself. Because, train station search will show up the train station and also the station building leading to double confusion. As everyone knows the parent category search provides items of its child category also.
A station building itself is a administrative building of the railway looking after the administration of the station. Hence it should get the parent as [railway] and [administrative building] as was done to the older one which was merged. |

I have no problem with the nesting under [railway] but there [b:1b7cdk9y]must[/b:1b7cdk9y] be a nesting under [train station] for pure reason station buildings head houses are found [u:1b7cdk9y]at[/u:1b7cdk9y] train stations regardless of whether the category was aimed at halts/stops. I understand your concern to switch the parenthesized 'train station' to 'railway' so this is no big deal.
Thanks for highlighting the Russian topic, but instead of drawing your own conclusions on how things should be nested, you should have asked for the best solution with their input since the request originated there; if not that then a little heads-up here would have went a long way. In any case, there is an ongoing discussion there and I will invite them here. |

It is NOT a good and valid reason to nest an object on the basis of 'location it is found'. The railways infrastructure is being categorized under the [railway] stub in Wikimapia. There is issue in search ability if everything 'found at a train station' is nested with train station itself - it will make the [train station] category worthless ! because anyone finding [train station] will see a plethora of objects on the map but hardly would 'find' a train station amongst the red dots. |

I'd like to see a "Rosenwald school" category.
From Wikipedia: "over five thousand schools...in the United States which were built primarily for the education of African-Americans in the early 20th century...Julius Rosenwald, an American clothier who became part-owner and president of Sears, Roebuck and Company, was the founder of The Rosenwald Fund, through which he contributed seed money for many of the schools and other philanthropic causes."
This is a distinct sub-category of school building not covered by any existing category. No existing category appears to even remotely describe this type of building. It is uniquely American, from a defined period in our history and many of these schools still exist, most of them protected under the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The most specific you can seemingly get in tagging these schools is "schoolhouse" (since most were single or 2-room buildings), or PERHAPS "charitable organization", though that category is vague and potentially misleading in this context. Additionally, the ONLY category that references "African American" anything is "African American Civil Rights Movement", and that category is not directly relevant to these schools. We have categories for "Waldorf education" and "Montessori education", so I think it's time for a "Rosenwald school" or "Rosenwald education" category. Thoughts? |

All of those seem doable, assuming that the 'matching' Wikipedia article is the one that (sometimes) is referred to as "... Revival ...". If not, pls give us a correct reference.
Aaaand, we need at least one place to start with for each category. (It's not possible to create a category "by itself" with no associated places.) |

sure thing. Here we go:
For American Foursquare:

Come to think of it, we also need a "Craftsman/Arts and Crafts architecture" category as well. An example:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=45.522298&lon=-122.980493&z=20&m=b&show=/9498262/Edward-Schulmerich-House">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=45.52 ... rich-House<!-- m -->

I have added categories for the 5 architectural styles - plus the "school" one.
So now each of those categories have 1 associated place. Presumably you know of others that you can add (that is why you want the categories, right?), so we can get some decent numbers?
Note that for the 'American Craftsman' category we already have a category called [craftsman]. No doubt some of these refer to the architectural style, whereas others mark places where you can buy the tools. (Perhaps some of the others also have existing categories of some kind, but I didn't stumble across any of them.) I hope you will take the time to adjust the categories for the appropriate 'craftsman' objects. |

Dear Wikimapia,
My name is Andrew Steele and I work for DigitalGlobe, a satellite imagery company based out of Colorado, USA. I serve as the operations lead for DigitalGlobe's crisis events service, FirstLook, and wanted to reach out to Wikimapia to suggest a feature that should prove valuable for everyone.
The FirstLook team at DigitalGlobe is responsible for monitoring the news to identify events of interest to capture with satellite imagery.
When I am in the process of identifying the affected areas from a particular event, oftentimes a wikimapia user is faster than I am to locate and pinpoint the incident location.
Having this information rapidly is extremely valuable for our team, and would love to continue to use Wikimapia user points as reference information when deciding on where to point the camera for new imagery.
For this reason I would like to request an additional category for wikimapia tags: news/media/current events
Currently wikimapia users are already tagging news items, but do not have a good category to tag it under. It would be great to have this organized in one tag, and to have the ability to see which tags have been created in the last 24 hours.
Also, my thought was that having this new category will allow Wikimapia users to get in a habit of geotagging the news, and will encourage repeat users (different news to tag everyday!) and would in turn increase web traffic.
Thank you for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Andrew Steele |

[quote="asteele474":2fsynb21]Dear Wikimapia,
My name is Andrew Steele and I work for DigitalGlobe, ...[/quote:2fsynb21]
An interesting request. As Teresa has indicated we do already have a category called [notable by news] and Jatayu referenced the [disaster] category, both of which may be relevant to your wishes.
The whole "notable" hierarchy, as it is today, looks like this (you can look this up yourself of course, starting [url=http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=0&lon=0&z=17&tag=45166&show=/object/category/?type=view&id=56268&lng=0&tab=hierarchy:2fsynb21]here[/url:2fsynb21]):
[notable event]
• [disaster]
• • [explosion site]
• • [hurricane]
• • [wildfire]
• • [tornado]
• • [earthquake epicenter]
• • [crash site] (note that [crash site]s are also [invisible])
• • • [aircraft crash site]
• • • [railway accident site (derailment, collision, etc)]
• • • [shipwreck]
• [notable by news]
• [murder site]
• • [assassination]
• • [massacre]
• [terrorist attack]
Note also that [notable event] itself is a child of [place with historical importance], which has a whole lot of other child categories.
I'm not sure how this structure fits with the kinds of locations you are interested in. Certainly the structure isn't carved in stone, so it is possible to change it if you can suggest improvements. I haven't given it a lot of thought personally - I didn't even know this particular tree existed until I just now looked - but at first glance it seems "reasonable" to me. Which is not to say that there may not be other relevant categories that have not (yet?) been included in the structure; ie: it's probably incomplete. So by all means make suggestions.
As for your request of looking at "recent" activity, I hope you know about the [url=http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=48.738927&lon=-123.614602&z=17&tag=45166&show=/object/category/?type=view&id=56268&lng=0&tab=objects:2fsynb21]"objects" tab[/url:2fsynb21] on the category page. This tab shows more than just "new" objects, however - it shows any and all activity, much of which may be cosmetic/irrelevant to you, but it is at least "something". The other downside here is that activity for child categories is not included, so you'd have to look at those separately. Not exactly what you were asking for, but ... what you really want is an enhancement, and my impression these days is that Admin is struggling with the task of improving their product for the public at large, fixing bugs (some of them critical, IMO), etc etc so while I think you really ought to make a feature request, the 'odds' of having it acted on anytime soon is not great.
And my final comment has to do with the concept of using categories for this at all. I, of course, like it. But there are lots of people out there who seemingly never assign a category at all, either because they're not aware of categories or because they can't find one that seems suitable or they think that everything they tag is an [interesting place] or whatever. In short, lots of opportunities to miss stuff. We can help a little bit with the folks who try but fail to find a suitable category, by creating some more synonyms that are more likely to be found by people who take the trouble to search. But which synonyms would they be? So where I said (above) "make suggestions", synonym suggestions are pretty easy to set up so keep that in mind. |

| I know this is a totally anal retentive request, but can we by any chance fix the spelling mistake in the "Federal style architecture" category? It currently reads "Federal style architeture" (missing the second "c"). |

Also requesting "Richardsonian Romanesque architecture". This is a distinct variation on Romanesque architecture, popularized by Henry Hobson Richardson. There is already a category "H.H. Richardson buildings", but the correct usage of this category is only buildings that were actually designed BY Richardson. There are many times more buildings that were designed in Richardson's style, but by other architects. See wikipedia article below, and an example of an existing place on Wikimapia:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardsonian_Romanesque">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardsonian_Romanesque<;!-- m -->
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=33.518089&lon=-86.810540&z=20&m=b&show=/7312181/First-United-Methodist-Church">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=33.51 ... ist-Church<!-- m -->
On a somewhat related note, can we modify the "romanesque" category to say "romanesque architecture"? As far as I can tell, most of the places with this tag are buildings in the romanesque style, so I think it should specifically say architecture to avoid confusion over what exactly is romanesque about it. |

Also requesting "Richardsonian Romanesque architecture". [/quote:2qkm8n52]Both have been created, with (as usual) the single example of each and we hope you will flesh them out with more examples.
Could you also be kind enough to come up with a short (2-3 not-too-long sentences) description that helps users understand this style and what is unique about it.
... and btw, should the "Richardson" [i:2qkm8n52]buildings[/i:2qkm8n52] be related to the architectural style in any way??

There are lots in Europe, for example; Sicily seems packed with them. Are these also better described as "romanesque [i:2qkm8n52]architecture[/i:2qkm8n52]"? If you have looked and still think that this is the best approach, then we can proceed. But please look and evaluate first, ok? |

I would say that all (or at least most) of the places with the "H.H. Richardson Building" tag should ALSO be tagged as "Richardsonian Romanesque architecture" as well, since he worked in his own particular style. Not all "Richardsonian Romanesque architecture"-tagged places can be tagged "H.H. Richardson building" though, since other buildings exhibited his style but were not designed directly by him. So as an answer to your question about Richardson buildings being related to the style, I'd say yes, but it's a one-way street in that sense. You could compare this to someone more familiar like Frank Lloyd Wright. Houses designed by Wright could be tagged both "Frank Lloyd Wright building" and "prairie style architecture" (which doesn't exist, but you get my point), but not all prairie style houses could accurately be tagged Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.
I did peruse a decent amount of the places in Europe (Italy/Sicily included) that are tagged "romanesque", and they seemed to almost exclusively be architectural places, but your point is well taken. I'll comb through those more thoroughly to make sure my impression is correct before I suggest that the tag be modified in such a way. |

| As for describing Richardsonian Romanesque architecture for those not familiar...I supposed I'd say that Richardsonian Romanesque architecture is a variation on Romanesque Revival architecture that commonly uses rough-cut stone as a building material. The stone facing is usually highly detailed, with intricate designs. The windows are often deeply recessed with arched tops that are "supported" by carved columns on either side, and round or angled corner towers are also a common design feature. The popularity of the style was brief, mostly in the last three decades of the 19th century, and ending in 1910 or 1920, though there was a noticeable "wave" effect; the style was popular in the northeast, and its popularity spread south and west. The south and west are also where the style showed up last, as interest in the east waned as it moved on. |

Having looked more closely at the places tagged "Romanesque" in Europe, I'm finding that the tag shows up exclusively on churches/cathedrals/basilicas, so "Romanesque" is indeed referring just to architecture. The few that are not intact churches are ruins, usually Romanesque arches left behind when the rest of the structure was destroyed, so this does seem to be strictly architectural. |

Ok, ...
• [romanesque] renamed to [Romanesque architecture]
• I added a description to [Richardsonian Romanesque architecture]
On the remaining point, it seems that we can/should make [H. H. Richardson building] a child of [Richardsonian Romanesque architecture]. Which would mean that [u:3k8ajokz]every[/u:3k8ajokz] place tagged as [...building] automatically becomes part of [...architecture] without having to add that category specifically. Agree? or not? |

| I'd like to request a category for "African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church". This is a distinct Protestant denomination separate from either the Methodist or Episcopal churches. It was founded in 1816 and, like the name suggests, is predominantly African American. There are a huge number of these churches across the U.S. and no current tag accurately covers this denomination. Many of the AME churches in large southern cities have significance in the Civil Rights Movement, particularly places like Birmingham, Montgomery, Atlanta and others. |

I added some objects to the category, but please go ahead and add more.
I also discovered the "African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church", which is apparently yet another and distinct denomination according to WP. So I added another category for it and undid some examples that I had assigned to AME (hope I got them all, and I wish you'd alerted me to this variant in the first place <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> ). Discovered there was a category for [AME] already, and moved those tags to the new category/ies. |
