Ok, I'll bite: Why?
Because a condominium can never be a single building? or ...? |

Ok, I'll grant you that a single condominium does not exist (as an item worth tagging, at least). I was previously thinking that a single [i:a75vybou]building[/i:a75vybou] containing condos is pretty common.
So ... name changed to [condominiums]. Perhaps slightly more precise. |

Request "U.S. National Historic Landmark" tag. This is a designation used by the National Park Service for sites that are on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), but exhibit particular national-level historical importance. Of the 90,000+ sites listed on the NRHP, only about 2,500 are designated National Historic Landmarks. Here is an example to get started, but I will add more once the tag is created:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=39.021651&lon=-104.885960&z=13&m=b&show=/38381425&search=39%C2%B000%E2%80%B240%E2%80%B3N%20104%C2%B053%E2%80%B208%E2%80%B3W">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=39.02 ... %E2%80%B3W<!-- m -->
There is already a "historic landmark" tag, but this is more general and could be applied worldwide. My request is for an official U.S.-specific tag that would tie together these listed sites. Thanks! |

| Quick correction...I think the tag should read "U.S. National Historic Landmark (NHL)" with the parenthetical abbreviation included for clarity that this tag is to be used on officially recognized places only. |

Speaking for myself, I have no objection to a category "like" this, but I am reluctant to add a category name that applies only to a single country, [u:1qjr8lme]especially[/u:1qjr8lme] for something that likely has an equivalent in any number of other countries. I would prefer to add something more generic, but I can't figure out what to call it because when I look up the 'obvious' search term, all I get are references to the US.
Does anyone know the terminology used elsewhere? |

We have "Onroerend erfgoed". [i:2x51x37z]Onroerend[/i:2x51x37z] translates as something related to real estate, but really means things you cannot simply walk away with, because they are either real estate in a broad sense (land, areas, buildings), or something permanently attached to it (like a faucet or a window). [i:2x51x37z]Erfgoed[/i:2x51x37z] is like heritage. The term "Onroerend Erfgoed" however seems to be used sort of like what I read about NHL: for buildings, bridges, ruins, (parts of) villages, landscapes, even a single tree. |

There is a category /NRHP - National Register of Historic Places/, which includes National Historic Landmarks (NHL), National Historic Sites (NHS), National Historical Parks, National Military Parks/Battlefields,National Memorials, and some National Monuments.
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Register_of_Historic_Pla...">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_R ... ric_Places<!-- m -->
You can create a category of the /National Historic Landmarks (NHL)/, making it a subsidiary to categories /NRHP - National Register of Historic Places/. |

Thanks for everyone's input on the U.S. National Historic Landmark category. It's working nicely as a subsidiary of the NRHP tag. I've added about 500 at this point, and will continue in the future.
On an unrelated note, there is a tag called simply "prefab". I don't know what exactly this refers to, but I've used it in the past to denote prefabricated buildings. Could we either a) change this tag to read "prefabricated building", or b) add a tag reading "prefabricated building" and leave "prefab" alone if that one refers to more than just buildings? Input would be appreciated either way, as I'm unclear on what the tag as it currently exists means. Either way I think we still need a tag that refers specifically to buildings. Thanks! |

Still awaiting follow-up on my "prefab" request.
Additionally, I'd like a "National Park Service (NPS)" category. This would work well for any places associated with the administrative side of the National Park Service but don't fit into existing tags (such as "ranger station" and so on).
And while I'm here, I'd also like a "Rustic architecture" tag.
Here are initial examples of both requests:

1// [b:22vq4jrx]Abondoned Settlement[/b:22vq4jrx] is translated as [b:22vq4jrx]ghost town[/b:22vq4jrx] >> this is wrong
2// [b:22vq4jrx]Abondoned Settlement[/b:22vq4jrx] has to be translated as [b:22vq4jrx]terk edilmiş yerleşim[/b:22vq4jrx] >> this is correct

Best admin,
is it possible to add new faculty-categories in the university-section:
i'm confrontated with a lot of faculty names ı could'nt find.
there are in total 5-6 faculty features BUT we need more/a lot of them
it's a big [b:3ql1m1u4][u:3ql1m1u4]gap/hole/shortage [/u:3ql1m1u4][/b:3ql1m1u4]in the university categıry/section as we have more than a bunch of faculti
there are a lot of DEPARTMENT names for university-descriptions WHEREAS they are
[b:3ql1m1u4][u:3ql1m1u4]NOT [/u:3ql1m1u4][/b:3ql1m1u4]suitable for certain namings for existing faculties a/o institutions a/o highschools in turkey
i've made a list of ±35 [b:3ql1m1u4][u:3ql1m1u4][color=#FF0000:3ql1m1u4]MAİN[/color:3ql1m1u4][/u:3ql1m1u4][/b:3ql1m1u4] needed faculty-names

fatih[/quote:7pjcxekk]
Hello Fatih
I have been thinking about this request, and I think you deserve some sort of response.
First of all let me say that I am not a great fan of super-detailed categories. They tend to not get used very much, in favour of the more generalized ones. In this case, that would mean that a general and all-inclusive term like "university faculty" would be a better choice than "faculty of xxxx".
Second: I think we should not focus too much on the words "department" and "faculty". To me, the intent is the same.
Third: I see that we already have a few "department" and "faculty" categories. Some of them contain the word "faculty", and others "department".
Fourth: I know that we already also have a number of "college" categories. Some of these apply to a [u:7pjcxekk]part of[/u:7pjcxekk] a university (and are thus equivalent to faculty or department), whereas others may denote the [u:7pjcxekk]entire[/u:7pjcxekk] institution.
Fifth: perhaps you want to distinguish [u:7pjcxekk]university[/u:7pjcxekk] faculties/departments from [u:7pjcxekk]other[/u:7pjcxekk] faculties/departments (technical schools/colleges, for example).
Sixth: regardless of whatever list of categories you propose, there will be other universities that have (for example) combination faculties. Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, for an example.
Seventh: have you seen how many "engineering" categories we have?
All that said, I am not opposed to doing something more here. For sure, it is not 'written in stone' that whatever categories we already have here are the only ones we can have. So here is a suggestion that we can use to start talking.
1) We rename the existing "faculty" and "department" categories to contain both words (for example [faculty / department of music]). And not just in English, but other languages as well.
2) We agree that all these can be used for any educational institution (university, college, whatever). Note that some of these categories are probably already used for objects that are [u:7pjcxekk]not[/u:7pjcxekk] educational institutions (government facilities, for example). We should come to some sort of understanding about whether / how to apply these kinds of categories to non-university objects.
Note that it may take some time to deal with these, as there will probably be some overlap, especially with the "college" ones.
3) We can add some more from your list. But note that we can not [u:7pjcxekk]just add[/u:7pjcxekk] a category. We [u:7pjcxekk]must[/u:7pjcxekk] have a specific object that we use for the first object.
As you can see, this is not as simple as just adding a few categories. We are opening a "can of worms" here, and I'm not sure how we can / should deal with it. In the long term, however, I think it is better that we deal with the "can" before we add more "worms". (This is not the first time we've had this kind of discussion here either, especially regarding "college", and we have failed to settle things before.)
I would like to hear some comments from [b:7pjcxekk][u:7pjcxekk][color=#FF0000:7pjcxekk]everyone else[/color:7pjcxekk][/u:7pjcxekk][/b:7pjcxekk] here as well. Your thoughts, [u:7pjcxekk]please[/u:7pjcxekk].

Best BİO,
i'm so happy with your respons firts of all a great thanx for this.
secondly i'm happy that enriched comments ln this issue will take the concept on a higher level.
last but not least i hope that this debate will/can standardise the categories/features on this issue for whole the world-wikimapians
little note:
i'm in favor for: to disconnect this debate and create a new topic (for a while) if it is possible / if not it's ok
i'm ready/volunteer to make work of this. i'll now give answers step by step as the criteria you've numbered
~~~~~~~~~~~~
first: i think the all inclusive term 'university faculty' will be widly accepted whereas it will fill the category where needed if an user can't find the specific naming of a faculty.
second: as the same 'intent' reason 'department' and 'faculty' can go together trough the needle (but in several countries/continents they have other conotations)
third: we have in total; 6 'faculty' categories + (±) 65 'department' categories (about the half of the list i'v written is located in the department-list as it was not faculty written).
fourth: we have in total 57 'college' categories but this wont go trough the needle in my case/worries whereas college in turkey is almost/will-refer/more for/to a highschool instead of a faculty or department of a university. department/faculty inte the same college/high-school intent the same. these woukd be two structıral colums for all continent accept north-america and great-britain, for the only fact that the hierarchy/structure contains college as part of university or almost synonymous for faculty. i'v controled the 57 features and the ther are a bunch of 'college/school' combination. this is something very sociologic deep british/anglosaxon culture to me. it feels like that in western-europe. but also the very famous ROBERT-college in istanbul inaugurated while the ottomanian empire was a high-school and was not regocnised as an university back than. thus 'college' has to taken in count as an apart colımn in my view though. (not decisive suitable)
fifth: this is indeed what i ment. perfect: 'university department/faculty' <==> college/(high)school department .. the 2 separate columns that i've mentioned.
sixth: yes indeed;. ALL SORT OF DİFFERENT combined faculty/department names exsist all over the world, these are not traceable. therefore it is effective (and would be essential) to create every faculty/department name separate 'medicine and dentistry' would be in another country 'e.g. medicine and pharmacy'
WE HAVE TO NOTE that this sort of combination-issues at governmental levels: in france they have 'ministry of finance and economh' whereas in turkey they have 'ministry of finance and treasury --> thus it would be effective to use every faculty/department/college/ministry separate to avoid DUBBLE categories. i'v noticed 3-4 or a few of them:
• department of civil engineering + department of civil and environmental engineering
• department of industrial engineering + college of industrial engineering <<=>> department/faculty of industrial engineering + college/(high)school of industrial engineering
• department of geomatics engineering + department of geodesy and geomatics engineering (to note that 'geodesy and cartography' is a widly used combination)
• department of engineering education + engineering studies
• ministry/government department ==> this should/can be more effective like: government ministry/department >> the words ministry and government switches places >> more sensible
seventh: we have in total 29 'engineering' categories/features but we have to standardise them, wd can bring this on a structural higher level
1) the suggestion is superb: as you've proposed and i have explained above >> "department/faculty of ..."
2) this suggestion is a little bit difficult as all also mentioned above, ther will be a culturral-conotation clash: let us think about the 2 columns as i wrote at point 4 & 5
3) i would be happy, but as i said i'm volunteering to structurise first the objects/categories/features first so we don't make double efforts to avoid loss of time, that's why i suggest to disconnect this issue/topic to work effective & by each step/chapter i can share my work here (as a loud thinking) so you/we can have an insight of the forth-going work.
final: as i'm a totally new user here i didn't have any clue as there was a failed situation before
but we can make GOOD/better renovations that's what we can do with the intelligencia on WM together.
i want to thanx again for this opportunity

best admin, friends,
i don't have any idea what you think about it,
but i have a suggestion to add the word "[b:2sr1pk4l][color=#FF0000:2sr1pk4l]PATİO[/color:2sr1pk4l][/b:2sr1pk4l]"
i do need a lot this category/feature for a hotel or (over-glassed) adjoinment of a lot of buildings
at google translate it says:
[b:2sr1pk4l]a paved outdoor area adjoining a house.[/b:2sr1pk4l]
[i:2sr1pk4l]There is a large paved patio at the back of the house.[/i:2sr1pk4l]
and the word "[b:2sr1pk4l][color=#FF0000:2sr1pk4l]YARD[/color:2sr1pk4l][/b:2sr1pk4l]" doesn't excist as a separate word: we have,
SCHOOLYARD >> this is very much used
HOUSEHOLD YARD >> also much used
but there are a lot of places used as YARD
but those places don't need the specific "..yard" combination
like TİMBERYARD and/or LUMBERYARD for example
is it possible to create YARD and PATİO
to fill the explanation of annexed places of buildings/places
thanx

i do need a lot this category/feature for a hotel or (over-glassed) adjoinment of a lot of buildings
at google translate it says:
[b:17ge98dn]a paved outdoor area adjoining a house.[/b:17ge98dn]
[i:17ge98dn]There is a large paved patio at the back of the house.[/i:17ge98dn]
and the word "[b:17ge98dn][color=#FF0000:17ge98dn]YARD[/color:17ge98dn][/b:17ge98dn]" doesn't excist as a separate word: we have,
SCHOOLYARD >> this is very much used
HOUSEHOLD YARD >> also much used
but there are a lot of places used as YARD
but those places don't need the specific "..yard" combination
like TİMBERYARD and/or LUMBERYARD for example
is it possible to create YARD and PATİO
to fill the explanation of annexed places of buildings/places
thanx
fatih[/quote:17ge98dn]
[yard] as a category in itself is not clear enough, it can lead to a lot of confusion or misuse. For now we have [railroad yard]; [school yard]; [household yard]; [kindergarten yard]; [subway yard] (synonym of [subway depot]); [marshalling yard]; [timber yard] [lumber yard] (synonym of [timber merchant]); [waterways maintenance yard] (synonym of [boat repair service]); [auto wrecking yard] (synonym of [junkyard/scrapyard]); [livery yard] (synonym of stable). If you have any specific request to tags you think might be useful, please do make a specific request, and we can consider if it is appropriate.
Regarding patio, I think the category of [courtyard] perhaps can be used? |

[quote="Teresa":2m4qto84]Regarding patio, I think the category of [courtyard] perhaps can be used?[/quote:2m4qto84]
best teresa,
is it possible to add the word PATIO just after COURTYARD >> like this 'courtyard/patio
when i search at the word YARD the word courtyard doesn't appear on screen
we have to search specifically the word courtyard and on the other hand
not every courtyard is paved whereas a patio is a paved annex to a house or buildin
as explained at google-traslate..this is only a suggestion in my opinion though
the combination 'courtyard/patio' can give a wide (in both) paved/unpaved use of this category/feature
regards fatih |

We already have many [i:2mef804a]"garbage categories"[/i:2mef804a]...
- [waste collection point / civic amenity centre / drop-off centre]
- [waste-to-energy plant]
Also we have [waste management] with marking [i:2mef804a]"Do not use for places"[/i:2mef804a], but with many "children":
- [transfer station (waste management)
- [incinerator / incineration plant]
- [landfill site]
- [landfill gas utilization facility ]
- [recycling centre / collection]
- [tailing pond]
- [ash disposal area]
- [recovery of waste]
Is not it suitable?.. |

I think those terms are too general/vague for a good category. A more specific term should work better.
If you share the specific object you have in mind then perhaps someone can make a suggestion. |

Well, like "Uluru" in Australia is a sacred site to the aboriginees.....or even the Wailing Wall? There is a concept of a holy/sacred site. |

Ok, I'm convinced that this is a legitimate category tag. Wikipedia even has an article: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_place">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_place<!-- m -->
On a (very slight) side-note, I came across the category [pilgrimage]. Pretty peculiar name for something that should be used to describe a place. Presumably it marks places "associated" with a pilgrimage, like the final destination, but [u:p72cutu1]perhaps[/u:p72cutu1] also places to stop at along the way (think Santiago de Compostela, eg, although none of these are tagged as such)?? I think it ought to be renamed/redefined, but to what? Suggestions, anyone? Nonetheless, there are lots of places marked. Many (most?) of these can possibly also qualify for a [holy site] category. In fact, you could argue that these should be synonymous as far as WM is concerned.
On another similar note, there is the category [hajj]. Should it be synonymous with [pilgrimage] (after it's renamed)? At present, a lot of these tags seem to be travel agencies.
Back to the specific "holy place" request: As you know, we can't create a category "by itself" - we need to apply the first instance to a specific object.
And I'm having a hard time (not that I'm trying super hard) to find a WM object that unquestionably fills the bill. I'm not 100% sure about Uluru (so you can do that one later).
Yes, the WP article has a list (and links to lists) but I'm not familiar with most of them.
So please make a recommendation. |

| well I have already given the case that "Uluru" is a "holy place" to the aboriginees.....one could make the point that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is one as is the Grand Mosque in Mecca or more specifically the Kaaba. Yes they are also tagged as "place of worship" but we also must note the sacred value of locations to religions.....and particularly natives who regard objects as "sacred/holy". Devils Tower in Wyoming would also be considered as such. |

Ok, let's go with the Devil's Tower then, at least it's fairly 'clean' with only one real candidate object instead of the multiple choices at many other locales. The category has now been created. |

It is necessary to clear the category [compound - to be deleted] (en), 1819 objects:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=54.007769&lon=30.506287&z=9&m=w&show=/object/category/?type=view&id=4001&lng=en&tab=main">wikimapia.org/#lang=en&;lat=54.00 ... n&tab=main<!-- m -->
It is also necessary to make a decision, delete the [compound - to be deleted] category or confirm it by making it a parent to the [residential compound] and [commercial compound] categories. |

Yes, I agree that [compound ...] is too broad a category.
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
[i:qor7w2rn]Definition of compound (Entry 4 of 4)
: a fenced or walled-in area containing a group of buildings and especially residences
// a prison compound
// an embassy compound[/i:qor7w2rn]
But note a couple of things:
a) it needs to be physically contained (walls, fence, ...) so the original suggestion of "with [u:qor7w2rn]or without[/u:qor7w2rn] gates and walls" is not so good.
b) since the category is currently unapproved, it is not easy to "clean" it, since we can't find the objects. (and I just changed that.)
c) are there really "commercial compounds" in the world? Meaning a group of businesses that are behind a fence. ?? Perhaps you want a [business park]?
d) can't say that I think [premises] is any better. It really doesn't mean much more than "place".
e) if we want to 'clean' this category, someone needs first of all to look at the objects that are currently marked with this category and decide what they are and what they ought to be. If, for example, the judgement is that most of them are residential, then perhaps we should just rename the category. But first someone has to look and tell us what they are. I can see that there are a lot of them in the Philippines. The few I looked at seem to be for a group of houses, perhaps for one family?? Is it much different from a "house", for example? It looks to me as if they could also be described as "home" (which to me is what the [house] category marks) - it's just that instead of one building, there are 2, or more. Is the number of buildings important?? It's still somebody's "house and home", is it not?
A suggestion: Clean the category of everything that is not residential, and then merge the rest with category [house]. Note that the [house] category already says (in part): "it can be used for outlines marking the house [u:qor7w2rn]and[/u:qor7w2rn] its surrounding property" |

Can you give me a tag where you will need this category? I can create [plasterer], personally I have not heard of the term of 'plaster industry'. Plaster a wall are done by professional plasterer, their work is part of a building industry. |

this is an industry that makes production of plaster. İt is a sort of family of the concrete-industry, but cor coating walls in the building industry. Maybe i don't know the correct english word for it but at google translatd it says PLASTER..
here a link / working on the SİİRT city in eastern Turkey.. in almost every industrial area/zone there is production of "ALÇI" translated as Plaster:

[quote="happygoth09":1ei8sdsf]Greetings to category moderators! I would like to request and/or inquire some of these categories ...[/quote:1ei8sdsf]
Ok, I can read the names, but what kinds of places do you think should be tagged with these kinds of categories? (taking the auto brands as an example)
• New car dealers, manufacturing facilities, offices, used car dealers that specialize in these brands, repair shops that specialize in these brands, used car lots that have one or more of these brands on their lot, ... ? Any/all of these?
And what exactly do you suppose a "Tissot" object (for example) would be? I mean, a watch is just too small to be seen in the imagery. We would not find even a single object to tag.
In the end, all of these suggestions are (from the point of view of parts-of-speech) adjectives. And adjectives just do not make good categories as they describe some aspect of an object, but not the actual object. |

To be exact the requested categories should fall to [automobile / car dealer (sales)] There are so many car dealers here in our country I hope that they should be added just like [Honda] [Suzuki Cars] etc.

Like a child tag or a tenant, I saw Tissot shops on YT Videos especially in European walkthroughs although I cannot pinpoint the stores because I just saw it on YT and not yet travelled in Europe. |
