Quick deletion of Category:British King's Counsel
The page you wrote, Category:British King's Counsel, has been selected for quick deletion. If you think this page should be kept, please add {{wait}} below the line {{QD}} and say why on the talk page. If the page is already gone, but you think this was an error, you can ask for it to be undeleted. You can find more information about the reason here. Rathfelder (talk) 16:41, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rathfelder, the reason why this category exists is because King's Counsel is not a thing exclusive to the United Kingdom, but within the UK, it is separate for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. As the countries of the United Kingdom are not really treated as countries (Scotland, England, Wales, NI all part of UK), they should all be subcategories of UK rather than be in the main King Counsel category. Please revert the changes you have made or at least start a discussion rather than requesting quick deletion. --Ferien (talk) 17:35, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Not true. Scots Law and English Law are two different things. KCs are different in the two different jurisdictions. Being a KC is a legal status. We dont have any articles about NI. There is no such thing as Welsh law. Rathfelder (talk) 19:01, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Rathfelder, I don't get what's not true. It is still separate for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and should not have been branched off of the main category. KCs are still different in the two jurisdictions but they share the characteristics of being KCs in Britain. --Ferien (talk) 20:36, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Scots law is different from English law. KC is a legal status, not dependent on location. Rathfelder (talk) 20:40, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Rathfelder: would Scots law not be different from Canadian law that would also be different from Barbadian law? --Ferien (talk) 20:46, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes. Rathfelder (talk) 20:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- Lawyers are licensed by juristiction. Rathfelder (talk) 20:49, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Rathfelder: These are all separate of course, but I would have thought it'd be helpful to have English and Scottish etc in country subcategories per all the others, and enwiki which we usually follow. --Ferien (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- They are all still part of Category:British lawyers Rathfelder (talk) 21:12, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Future changes

If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews. Deployment is planned for November 22, 2023.
Canary (also known as heartbeat) events will be produced into Wikimedia event streams from December 11. Streams users are advised to filter out these events, by discarding all events where meta.domain == "canary". Updates to Pywikibot or wikimedia-streams will discard these events by default. [11]

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2023-47
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! Bhagavata Mela is a classical Indian dance that is performed in Tamil Nadu, particularly the Thanjavur area. It is choreographed as an annual Vaishnavism tradition in Melattur and nearby regions, and celebrated as a dance-drama performance art. The dance art has roots in a historic migration of practitioners of Kuchipudi, another Indian classical dance art, from Andhra Pradesh to the kingdom of Tanjavur. The term Bhagavata, state Brandon and Banham, refers to the Hindu text Bhagavata Purana. Mela is a Sanskrit word that means "gathering, meeting of a group" and connotes a folk festival. The traditional Bhagavata Mela performance acts out the legends of Hinduism, set to the Carnatic style music.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2023-48
| The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article!  The Zaniskari or Zanskari is a breed of small mountain horse or pony from Ladakh, in northern India. It is named for the Zanskar valley or region in Kargil district. It is similar to the Spiti breed of Himachal Pradesh, but is better adapted to work at high altitude. Like the Spiti, it shows similarities to the Tibetan breeds of neighbouring Tibet. It is of medium size, and is often grey in colour. The breed is considered endangered, as there are only a few hundred alive today, and a conservation programme has been started at Padum, Zanskar, in the Kargil district of Ladakh.
