Hi again, Carlos.  I removed the categories on the Jacobus Gallus link to the Jacob Handl page.  [[User:Hofius]] erred in putting them there in the first place.  Such categorizations should not be on a composer redirect page for the simple reason that it provides the wrong count of the number of composers in the various categories.  In other words, Jacobus Gallus and Jacob Handl are one and the same composer, not two different composers!  Actually, what you added after the "pipe" ("|") did not change the categorization, but rather caused the Jacobus Gallus (redirect) page to be sorted under "Handl, Jacob" ... pipes have a different meaning for categories (they are just sort keys).  Let me say, though, that I really do appreciate all your good work and that you are very rapidly getting up to speed with the wiles and whims of Wiki.  It is good to have another active helping hand on this large site. -- [[User:CHGiffen|Chuck]][[User talk:CHGiffen|<sub><small>'''talk'''</small></sub>]]&nbsp;[[User:Charles H.

:Hi Chuck, I changed the categories because ''Gallus'' was appearing under letter H in "Slovenian Composers" category, together with Handl, what was clearly wrong. After the change Gallus passed to letter G, but you're right, it was a bit weird to have two entries for the same composer under that category.

Welcome and thanks

Welcome to CPDL, and thank you very much for working on language templates, translations, and the like. I'm glad that you have already mastered the usage of the templates and that you have correctly created the Category:Works in Zulu. It's great to have you helping out! If I can be of any help to you, don't hesitate to contact me. -- Chucktalk Giffen♫ 10:30, 17 March 2008 (PDT)

Hi Chuck, thanks for the welcome! I have already contributed to the Portuguese and English Wikipedias, that's why I found it quite easy to manage CPDL's interface. I'm still getting used to some templates, the correct way of creating CPDL IDs and the like, so expect to find a few more mistakes in my edits for a while and feel free to fix them. -- Carlos 12:54, 17 March 2008 (PDT)

Composer redirects

Hi again, Carlos. I removed the categories on the Jacobus Gallus link to the Jacob Handl page. User:Hofius erred in putting them there in the first place. Such categorizations should not be on a composer redirect page for the simple reason that it provides the wrong count of the number of composers in the various categories. In other words, Jacobus Gallus and Jacob Handl are one and the same composer, not two different composers! Actually, what you added after the "pipe" ("|") did not change the categorization, but rather caused the Jacobus Gallus (redirect) page to be sorted under "Handl, Jacob" ... pipes have a different meaning for categories (they are just sort keys). Let me say, though, that I really do appreciate all your good work and that you are very rapidly getting up to speed with the wiles and whims of Wiki. It is good to have another active helping hand on this large site. -- Chucktalk Giffen♫ 00:30, 11 April 2008 (PDT)

Hi Chuck, I changed the categories because Gallus was appearing under letter H in "Slovenian Composers" category, together with Handl, what was clearly wrong. After the change Gallus passed to letter G, but you're right, it was a bit weird to have two entries for the same composer under that category. Regards -- CarlosTalk 01:14, 11 April 2008 (PDT)
