Duplicate categories for St. Andrew's Churchyard Cemetery in North Weald Bassett, Essex

Question

I believe there are duplicate categories for St. Andrew's Churchyard Cemetery in North Weald Bassett, Epping, Essex.

One is: St. Andrew's Churchyard Cemetery, North Weald Bassett, Essex

The other is: St. Andrew's Churchyard Cemetery, North Weald Bassett, Epping. 

Note: the coordinates for the church are: Vicarage Lane, 

North Weald Bassett, Epping Forest District, Essex CM16 6AL England

Coordinates: 51.72546, 0.16381

I think the correct one is North Weald Bassett, Essex because the town of  North Weald Bassett is in Essex County.  I don't know how to merge them.  Instructions please?

Answer 1

Hi Anna,

Well spotted, and thank for pointing this out. Are you able to provide a link for the second one, please, as I'm having trouble finding it?
Unfortunately, it looks like both are wrong. Please leave it with me, and I will deal with it tomorrow. I'll create the correct one using the profile you have provided.

Comments

The North Weald Bassett, Epping category is already in the process of being renamed. So there is no duplicate just a misnamed category.

Thank you Darren.

Thanks Roy for correcting the category name!

---

I have now renamed the first category to St Andrew's Churchyard, North Weald Bassett, Essex, adding it to your profile in the process.

Before putting a category for deletion It would help to check that nothing was linking to it. The  St. Andrew's Churchyard Cemetery, North Weald Bassett, Epping category had a rename on that category going to a category of St. Andrew's Churchyard Cemetery, North Weald Bassett, Essex. That second category was set for deletion without removing the first categories redirection.

I have fixed both the first incorrect category and edited the profile the first incorrect category was on.

Thank you Darren, and apologies for causing a problem. However, I'm still somewhat confused. Please can you clarify what the final name is, or provide a link to, the "first incorrect category" that you have fixed?

See the edit I did on Wheeler-27794 for the profile chagnes. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:St._Andrew%27s_Churchyard_Cemetery%2C_North_Weald_Bassett%2C_Epping was the originally made wrongly named category. I found the link to that from the What Links Here option at the bottom of the category. If you look into the history of that renamed category you can see the changes I made to it after the initial creation. 

---

FYI Darren: there were two problems with both of the original category names. Firstly, "Churchyard" and "Cemetery" have distinct meanings in England: it is either one or the other, you cannot have a "Churchyard Cemetery". Secondly, "St" does not have a full stop when it stands for Saint: "St." means Street. So Roy was spot on when he changed the name to "St Andrew's Churchyard, North Weald Bassett, Essex".

Stephen I am not saying that Roy's rename was to an incorrectly named category. My statement was due to the fact that Roy would have left an incorrectly named category on a profile and did not do anything to rectify the wrongly named original category. That original category wasn't made by me and my wrong edit just changed the location to a proper location. The ignored wrong category would end up making more work for Categorization Project members if left as it was.

---

However, Darren, if you had read my original answer and left it to me to fix, as I had promised, none of this difficulty would have arisen. There was no need for you to do anything, except, perhaps, provide the link I asked for in my original answer.
It was too late for me to handle the issue that evening, and I appreciated there might be complications, hence my decision to leave it to the next day when I would have had (and did have) time to correct both categories, which I pointed out in my original answer were both incorrect.

---

Except I had already seen the first incorrectly named category and put in a rename. Otherwise Anna Strutt would never have realized that her initial category was wrong.

It was your incorrectly done fix that would have left the first incorrectly named category going to another incorrectly category that you set for deletion. Thus creating a  new category error.

When I saw your answer I commented that there was a rename in process (yes to a incorrectly named cemetery part of the name) but you ignored that I had a rename in progress. Thus it is you who did not fix the first problem category and created a second problem by ignoring the first created category completely.

---

And thirdly you have added a cemeteries category to a profile with no death date or source proving that he belongs in the cemeteries category at all.

---

So it is you who have come in second and left errors that someone else had had to fix.

The errors would never have occurred if you had looked at the entire situation instead of fixation on one small issue.
