Category talk:vi:French derivations

Very bad
This category should not have been deleted without the deleting editor taking the time to replace the entries that had it with the revised category. Not taking the time to do this creates an immense amount of unnecessary labor for other editors--especially as this kind of thing (arbitrary changing of category names) can happen again and again. 71.66.97.228 20:20, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Presumably it's because you haven't been editing here for a few months. Or you have, but with your eyes closed. In other words, pay attention to what's happening around you. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Please have the respect to not comment with headings like "bull," which is short for the term "bullshit," and is thus profanity, and insulting. There are large numbers of categories, including many Mandarin categories for musical instruments, now showing up as redlinks, without being redirected or repopulated by the editor(s) who apparently deleted these categories. (See 胡琴 for an example of such a newly redlinked, non-repopulated category, in this case cmn:Musical instruments in traditional script.) This means that dozens if not hundreds of hours of labor has been thrown out the door. This kind of editing represents editorial malpractice, and is very disturbing, as once those categories are repopulated (by hand), the same thing can happen again, and again, and again, as editors again and again decide to change the titles of the categories, always without giving a thought to following through and repopulating them under the new names (giving respect to the editors who had earlier taken the time and painstaking care to populate them). That is not any kind of "bull," or "bullshit." Please watch your language in the future, and be more thoughtful of the immense amounts of time many editors here invest, with the reasonable trust that this time not be thrown away by editors who delete categories then refuse to follow through and repopulate them under the new category names. 71.66.97.228 20:28, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
