I'd like to request category "cactus/succulent garden". Right now the closest we have is either simply "cactus" or "garden", or "botanical garden" and these are too general. Many times, botanical gardens have a cactus section, but there do exist gardens that consist solely of cacti and succulents, and I feel "botanical garden" doesn't quite fit for these places. Here's an example:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=33.448273&lon=-111.973761&z=17&m=b&show=/52493/Tovrea-Castle-and-Carraro-Cactus-Gardens&search=33%C2%B026%E2%80%B255%E2%80%B3N%20111%C2%B058%E2%80%B216%E2%80%B3W">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=33.44 ... %E2%80%B3W<!-- m -->
I will add others if the category is created.
I'm also waiting on "Saltbox architecture" to be added. Here's an example for the first one:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=41.317594&lon=-72.238130&z=20&m=b&show=/1920013/Thomas-Lee-House-ca-1660&search=thomas%20lee%20house">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=41.31 ... ee%20house<!-- m --> |

Request category[u:tqvmrow0] International Airport[/u:tqvmrow0] as a child category of Airport.
While the generic term Airport applies to airstrips etc. as well, International Airports are relatively fewer but major infrastructure projects.
It will make it easier for specific search.
Thanks |

While I certainly agree in principle, I think this suggestion would be only a partial solution to a much bigger problem with [airport]s.
I've been working on a post where I hope to get a larger number of folks involved to develop a better overall structure to the categories we use for airports. I hope (now that you've prompted me again) to post this in the next few days. Stay tuned. |

Requesting "Quonset hut". This is a distinctive form of prefabricated architecture that came about during World War II when the military needed a lightweight, portable building that could be used for a variety of purposes. It's most recognizable as having a half-cylindrical shape, with no vertical walls. Right now the closest category is simply "hut", which I think is too general. An example:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=35.376612&lon=-90.255674&z=20&m=b&show=/35325297/Old-Turrell-City-Hall&search=35%C2%B022%E2%80%B242%E2%80%B3N%2090%C2%B015%E2%80%B221%E2%80%B3W">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=35.37 ... %E2%80%B3W<!-- m -->

| On a related note, would we be able to change the tag "prefab" to read "prefabricated building"? Or, if the category doesn't specifically apply to buildings, perhaps we could have a new category that covers specifically prefabricated buildings? |

Ok, it's there. Go ahead.
As for [prefab], there are only about 40 in total. The ones in the US and UK all seem to be buildings, elsewhere perhaps not so much. If we change the name, what do you think should be done with the non-building objects?? |

[b:ieifjpwj]Reason for new category : "Civilian Conservation Corps camp"[/b:ieifjpwj]
During the depression (1933 to 1942) about 9 million young men were employed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, many living in 1436 camps across the country. No detailed online maps exists of these campsites. Many of the CCC camps were later used as CPS camps, and Japanese internment camps.
Very general maps exist. An interactive map shows many projects but not the work camps.
[b:ieifjpwj]Reason for new category : "Civilian Public Service camp"[/b:ieifjpwj]
There were 152 CPS camps in the US during WWII where about 12,000 conscientious objectors lived while performing alternative service.
The Mennonite Central Committee (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) attempted to map 150 CPS camps but only approximated their locations on this map : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="cps.peaceworks.ca/">cps.peaceworks.ca/<;!-- m -->
[b:ieifjpwj]Reason for new category : "Japanese Internment Camp"[/b:ieifjpwj]
Category "Internment" is used for burial, cemetery, and jail camps.
Mappers have not been consistent in use of category labels for Japanese Internment Camps. Here's 2 examples:
(1) town -- CDP - Census Designated Place
(2) Second World War 1939-1945 -- prison -- internment -- historic landmark
Many CSP camps and Japanese internment camps were at former CCC camps and will more easily be found with these 3 new categories, which reduces the number of categories needed to describe them. |

| Apologies for not responding to the query about the "prefab" category. I didn't realize there were so few places with that tag...I think I'm probably responsible for about 1/3 of the existing uses of that tag <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? --> In light of this, I suppose it's ok to leave it as is...it's obvious that the tag refers to a building in the cases in which I've used it, and I've clarified what that tag means within the description of those places, so all is fine. |

I'd like to request a tag for a Christian Science Church. This denomination is referred to variously as "Christian Science" or "Church of Christ, Scientist". The latter is quite unwieldy, so I would suggest creating the tag as "Christian Science church" (with the "c" in church being lowercase).
It's kind of odd that we already have a category for "Christian Science Reading Room" but none for the actual church that those reading rooms are a part of....not sure how that happened. Here's an example to kick off the category:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=34.505791&lon=-93.056116&z=20&m=b&show=/35480375/First-Church-of-Christ-Scientist&search=34%C2%B030%E2%80%B220%E2%80%B3N%2093%C2%B003%E2%80%B222%E2%80%B3W">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=34.50 ... %E2%80%B3W<!-- m --> |

Yes, the duplicate is in this removed category list, should be renamed to something different. |

Help! Help! I think I done did it and deleted [b:1sws0z7s]fairground[/b:1sws0z7s] in all languages! <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->
I wanted to delete only the German [b:1sws0z7s]Messegelände[/b:1sws0z7s] but now it's gone in all languages.
My problem is presently:
The german term [b:1sws0z7s]Tennisplatz [/b:1sws0z7s]is used as translation for [b:1sws0z7s]tennis court[/b:1sws0z7s] AND [b:1sws0z7s]indoor tennis court[/b:1sws0z7s]. How can I fix that? |

Doesn't look "merged", but both the 'plain' and 'indoor' versions are synonyms, which is clearly not desirable. I would think that 'indoor' should be a child of 'plain'.
First thing for you to do is to remove the synonym and get back to square one - then you/we can start over. |

Hi all,
I received request from user [b:w5bnpoa9]ahlulbyt [/b:w5bnpoa9]about create new category in Iraq.
See copy of PM he wrote to me (similar message was sent also to Aldi1)
[i:w5bnpoa9]"I would like to add or create new category we have in my country IRAQ
thousand of buildings use for prayers but not mousqe
its another thing named [color=#0040BF:w5bnpoa9]( Hussienieh)[/color:w5bnpoa9]
could you help me to add it
thanks " [/i:w5bnpoa9]
What do You think about:
is that legal category name, is that legal thing he asking?
Can we add this category? |

I found a Wikipedia article <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussainiya">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussainiya<!-- m --> that seems to perhaps be what he is talking about. If this is the same thing, then clearly it is not "just" for Iraq, however. Nonetheless it seems to me that this [u:1ls9igjd]would[/u:1ls9igjd] be a valid type of object to have a category for.
I am also wondering whether there are other "prayer halls" that are used in other religions, and perhaps there could be some sharing. For example, we already have a [prayer ground / prayer hall] category (ie non-denominational); this new category could easily fit in as a child of that one. We also have [eidgah] (a specific kind of prayer ground), which is currently a child of both [mosque] and [islam]. I'm sure there are connections here, but eidgah being a mosque doesn't make it suitable for a hussainiya (which he specifically says it is not).
Summary: I'm in favour, but I think we should use the same English spelling as in WP. He should provide an example tag of course, as well as a suitable translation to Arabic, for starters. |

While I am there, can I write one more post about {possible?} creating new category.
Time after time I am also cleaning category [b:3o79z9dc]"Salon"[/b:3o79z9dc]
I found at least two groups of tags which were kept under that category.
1) fortune tellers salons (this is in Latvia/Riga)
(most of then are individual merchants, and they are legal. This names can be seen also in local phone and adressbooks).
2) Magic salon or Magic of God salon. (in Moscow/Russia)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="www.magick.ru">www.magick.ru<;!-- m -->
They consult customers / also are fortune tellers. But they also selling magic and dreams interpreter books. (aka bookstores ?)
By seeing homepage pictures I just guess, they can also support local religious and Christianity movements?
So, what to do with this type of tags, should we just "flush them" under "office" group?
Might be there is around more tags like this and they waiting for refining behind "office building", "commerce" or smth.?
Your opinions is welcome. |

Hello, I've been marking a lot of works by notable regional architects (AIA) and one thing that would be nice is a subdivision of the extremely broad "Modern architecture," an era that can easily cover 120 years of very different styles. I have a lot of suggestions but these should help fix the categories and make them quite useful as well as harmonizing the naming conventions:
[b:1vtrj2q4]Fixing existing categories[/b:1vtrj2q4] that are subsets of Modern:
[list:1vtrj2q4][*:1vtrj2q4]bauhaus architecture --> "Bauhaus (architecture)"[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]art deco architectural style --> "Art Deco (architecture)"[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Prairie School architecture --> "Prairie School (architecture)"[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]postmodern architecture --> "Postmodern (architecture)"[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Jugendstil / Art Nouveau architecture --> "Art Nouveau (architecture)" (Jugendstil is the German term)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Streamline Moderne --> (good)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4][/list:u:1vtrj2q4]
[b:1vtrj2q4]Merge:[/b:1vtrj2q4] "International Style (architecture)" and "International style architecture" (the first version is best)
[b:1vtrj2q4]Suggested additions:[/b:1vtrj2q4]
[list:1vtrj2q4][*:1vtrj2q4]Mid-Century modern (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Modernisme (architecture) [/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Expressionism (architecture) [/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Functionalism (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Futurism (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Organicism (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Googie (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Brutalism (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Contemporary (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4]
[*:1vtrj2q4]Deconstructivism (architecture)[/*:m:1vtrj2q4][/list:u:1vtrj2q4]
There are others, but these, combined with the existing ones, would capture most of what is worth tagging for notability.
All of these should be sub-sets of Modern architecture. |

Request a category for "religious camp meeting site" or some comparable name. We have a lot of historical "camp meeting" sites for various Christian sects in the US and it would be good to have a category like this for search purposes. The associated wikipedia page is "camp meeting" if that would suffice, though I feel some connection to "church" or "religion" would be clearer.

Hey, why not? It's done. Hope you know some other sites to tag, it's looking kind of lonely with just one.
A question: Should this be only for currently used sites, or would you also allow it for places that haven't been used for many years (decades?)?

I didn't create the tag, some guy who has been tagged camp meeting sites did....................................I think the category should apply for ALL sites, most are used in some way any way.......I'll will go around and add this to all the appropriate sites. |

I'd like to request "Monterey Colonial (architecture)". This is a distinct architectural style with its roots in California, back when it was a territory of Mexico. See below link for an example to kick-start the category. I will no doubt be adding plenty more when I start mapping NRHP properties in California.

There is another category I'd like to have added...it might be a little out of the ordinary, but it's an important one to have. There is a HUGE number of buildings, structures and sites in the United States that were built as part of the New Deal, the government-backed efforts to put people to work during the Great Depression. There were numerous agencies created that oversaw these construction projects, the biggest of which were:
- Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)
- National Youth Administration (NYA)
- Works Progress Administration (WPA)
- Civil Works Administration (CWA)
- Public Works Administration (PWA)
Rather than create a tag for each of those agencies (which I think would be cumbersome), I would like to create a general umbrella tag that would include all of these agencies. I think it should read something like this:
"New Deal Depression Relief Project [1933-1945]"
I believe this is a pretty concise tag that gets the information across in the cleanest way possible. The 1933-1945 date range covers the earliest and latest dates during which the various agencies I listed above operated. All of the places I have already created that will have this tag applied to them also describe their significance in the text field, so there will be further elaboration on what makes the place significant. Here is an example to get it started, and there are plenty more I would be happy to add once the category exists:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=34.361435&lon=-94.030781&z=13&m=b&show=/36423077/Shady-Lake-Recreation-Area&search=34%C2%B021%E2%80%B241%E2%80%B3N%2094%C2%B01%E2%80%B251%E2%80%B3W">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=34.36 ... %E2%80%B3W<!-- m --> |

Both of these seem ok, but I am reluctant to add anything just now, until WM has recovered from whatever went wrong during the server upgrade. At the moment I have close to zero confidence that additions will "stick". Maybe next week?? |

Absolutely fine by me, that's a good thought. |

Now done.
Can you write a concise description for them? Short is good.
And do they have a relevant Wikipedia article, eg? (I haven't looked) |

Thanks for the category additions, bio
Monterey Colonial architecture has its origins in California back when it was a territory of Mexico, but it experienced a revival later on after California became a U.S. state. The most recognizable design hallmark of the style is continuous porches that wrap around most or all of the structure, on both stories (these homes are virtually all 2 stories in height). The structures are commonly made of adobe or wood, and almost always have hipped roofs. Monterey Colonial is one of the styles commonly accepted in Santa Barbara, California, where residential architecture is tightly controlled.

I think my description of the New Deal Depression Relief Projects above is pretty decent, but I'd say a shorter description would be that it encompasses buildings, structures and public spaces that were built by any one of a number of federal agencies (see above for examples) that were set up as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal in response to exceptionally high unemployment rates during the U.S. Great Depression. These agencies operated in varying time periods, but all of them were between the years 1933 and 1945. The idea was to put unemployed people to work building public structures and spaces. These included public parks, courthouses, government buildings, schools, infrastructure like bridges, tunnels and water towers, as well as specialized projects such as artwork installations in public buildings or in other public spaces.
Apparently I can't put more than 1 URL in my post, so simply put "New Deal" into Wikipedia for the info on it. |

Господа!В мире в целом и в России в частности много аномальных и геопатогенных зон,а категории соответствующей нет!
Вот например в Пермском крае:wikimapia.org/#lang=ru&;lat=57.189483&lon=57.923355&z=13&m=b&show=/14462087/ru/Молёбская-аномальная-зона
Внутри находятся несколько локальных зон. Все были без категорий!Я присвоил им категорию "место встреч по интересам",ибо там встречаются люди имеющие интерес к данным зонам!Но все-таки предлагаю создать соответствующие категории! |

[b:2sv78eaw]Hello[/b:2sv78eaw]
About the category [autogas (LPG, propane) refuelling station], We need another one to Pressurised Gas (methane) used in vehicles:
“There are two types of autogas equipment and autogas stations as well. These are LPG (propane-butane mix) and Pressurised Gas (methane).“
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogas#Russia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas#Worldwide
¿Is this possible? |

We already have a category called [cng].
It seems to be predominantly used for filling stations (based on a very small sample, I admit).
If this is the same as what you mean, we should just rename this category.
To ... [CNG refuelling station] or ??? (Meaning that if you think "cng" is insufficient, then what other word(s) would you want to emphasize?)
I am reluctant to include "autogas" as this seems to be specific to the existing LPG product. Check the [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autogas:380dpjwj]WP article[/url:380dpjwj], eg.
If there are other places (ie: not filling stations, but ?depots?, eg) then we could come up with a new category for those (I haven't searched for other possible categories for depots, possibly we already have one/some). |
