RemoveArt and culture law, addLegal professional privilege

[edit]

Art and culture law  5 seems to be covering a number of relatively unrelated things which are already covered in other places, and only has 4 other language versions. Compared to other articles in this section, it also has fewer pageviews, around 10 per day. I thinkLegal professional privilege is more important. It has about 30 pageviews per day and 11 other language versions. I do see thatAttorney–client privilege has 3 times as many pageviews, but that article is restricted to the USA.EchoVanguardZ (talk)00:26, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add incense related pages.

[edit]

Above,Incense  5 was nominated. This surprised me as incense is extremely important across cultures, and in multiple religions. I suspect this is Western bias, specifically American bias, because we don't tend to use incense quite as much as other cultures. I have gone through and found a few key pages related to incense that have not been included, and think they should be added.

Sandalwood is often cited as one of the most expensive woods in the world. Both the wood and the oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been highly valued for centuries.

Add education of Fooland articles

[edit]

Recently we discovered a gap in the form of Culture of Fooland articles, and above we are adding a number. Another one seems to be related to the field of education. (And I have a feeling it's just a tip of the iceberg). Anyway, I think we have too many higher education institutions listed (Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5/Society and social sciences/Culture#Educational institutions is way too bloated, with ~200 entries). I think we should try to cut it to let's say a 100, and use the freed up 100 spots to add a dozen or two, or even three, overviews of education by country and region, just like above we are adding the culture overviews. I mean, if we addculture of the United States, for example, why noteducation in the United States orhigher education in the United States? IMHO such overviews are much more vital than entries on individual institutions (some of which are just companies), and many of which have little impact or recognizability outside its small region (sometimes, province, not even a country) and educators/scholars (heck, I am an educator and researcher, and I don't recognize most of the universities we list). For now, my adds are similar to the culture adds, which is also similar to the list of countries listed at V3, but with a second take on which countries have multiple tertiary institutions listed at V5. I will make comments in various sections above for the adds. Feel free to propose others. Removals (which can be considered swap should follow soon, feel free to help gut the listed units from 200 to 100 or less :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here12:46, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't ethnicities listed?

[edit]

For example,French people,Germans,Persians,Tamils,Igbo people are all not vital. YetBaloch people are V5, andKurds are V4. What is going on? Why aren't these listed? If there is no reason, I will create a batch nomination.-1ctinus📝🗨01:22, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is aPandora's Box, Ethnicities are so diverse and ambiguous it is impossible to fully capture ALL ethnicities. CheckCategory:Ethnic groups to see how much it will explode the list.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔)04:26, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's a balancing act, IMO. In many cases, it makes much more sense to list an ethnicity than a region. In the African region articles you can see a lot of bare-boned proposed articles, whereas the appropriate ethnicity articles have much more information and indeed appear to cover a much more cohesive topic.J947edits06:52, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
List of contemporary ethnic groups is pretty extensive. If we add one, I'd say we need to add all of them, with some minor exceptions. Failing an all or nothing approach to ethnicities would open the door for accusations of encouraging literal supremacy (How can we say one ethnic group is vital, but not another?).GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔)23:45, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add several military concepts

[edit]

Military concepts are an important part of our society, for better or worse. We include 113 under the section "War and military," which for something as important as war and military seems like a dramatic under representation. These are all fairly basic concepts, and if you don't know what they are just check the article. These have had impacts on popular culture, the civilian lexicon, and influenced history pretty profoundly.

Mandeism Prunes

Mandaeism  5 is a VA5 religion currently has 8 subsection articles. I don't dispute it's vitality, but there's currently estimated to be around 60,000 and 70,000 members, so I do think it's been a bit overcovered, especially when comparing it toHaitian Vodou  4, which is VA4 but currently has no subsection.

AddDecca Records

[edit]

What Universal Music Group originated from. Well, ultimately originated; there is a very complicated history regarding this label that I don't have time to fully discuss. Short answer, for a period there were two Decca Records, the original British label and its American offshoot, that operated independently from each other. But since Universal Music Group (American Decca) bought outPolyGram (British Decca), there is now a single Decca Records again. I was able to link at least 52 vital people to the either the British or American companies (figures includes those signed toMCA Records, which is what the American Decca renamed itself to), includingBenjamin Britten  4,Kirsten Flagstad  5,Luciano Pavarotti  4,Joan Sutherland  4,Bing Crosby  4,The Rolling Stones  4,Buddy Holly  4,Judy Garland  4,Georg Solti  5,Sister Rosetta Tharpe  5,The Andrews Sisters  5,Elton John  5,Vera Lynn  5,Patsy Cline  5,Pete Seeger  5 (from his bandThe Weavers),Mantovani  5,Bill Monroe  5,Tom Petty  5,Louis Jordan  5,Bill Haley  5,Burl Ives  5,Eric B. & Rakim  5,Jimmy Dorsey  5,Lynyrd Skynyrd  5, andBlink-182  5.

Nominated this because I was able to link at least 19 vital people to DGG (including its subsidiaryArchiv Produktion), includingPierre Boulez  4,Karlheinz Stockhausen  4,Herbert von Karajan  4,Plácido Domingo  4,Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau  4,Oliver Knussen  5,Claudio Abbado  5,Karl Böhm  5,John Eliot Gardiner  5,Carlos Kleiber  5,Martha Argerich  5,Daniel Barenboim  5,Emil Gilels  5,Wilhelm Kempff  5,Lang Lang  5,Yundi  5,Krystian Zimerman  5,Anna Netrebko  5, andHilary Hahn  5. Also, this was one of the labels that help form PolyGram, a huge record company in its own right until it got bought out.

AddEpic Records

[edit]

This is going to be the only nominee founded as a sub-label. I'll admit, the only reason I'm not combining the 19 vital people I was able to link to Epic with Columbia like I have for the other sub-labels isMichael Jackson  3. I want to include a label linked to a level 3 musician, and this was the best candidate. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven obviously predate recorded music, while I ultimately decided that the labels Louis Armstrong and The Beatles are associated with (Okeh andParlophone/Apple) were not worthy enough to be discussed. Besides Michael, the other 18 are:Gloria Estefan  5,Delta Goodrem  5,Cyndi Lauper  5,Jennifer Lopez  5,George Michael  5,Shakira  5,George Jones  5,Tammy Wynette  5,Donovan  5,Ricardo Arjona  5,Sade (band)  5,Sly and the Family Stone  5,Luther Vandross  5,Stevie Ray Vaughan  5,Jeff Beck  5,Pearl Jam  5,Korn  5, andJack Black  5 (viaTenacious D).

Changes to Economy of major countries / regions

[edit]

Following#Add Culture of major countries, here are suggestions for economy tweaks. ComparingWikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5/Society and social sciences/Culture#Culture by region (30 entries) and [articles/Level/5/Society and social sciences/Politics and economics#Economy by country] (33 entries), there are some discrepancies - such as, no regions in economy. Now, not everything should be mirrored (arguably, some countries are culturally significant, while their economies are of little importance to the world or even their regions; and vice versa). Here are my suggestions for changes, starting with adding economies by regions (continents) - it makes little sense to have VA for Culture of Africa, for example, but not Economy of Africa. Other than that, at this point I only have one suggestion for country-level addition. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here11:51, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Technically just a title to refer to a god, but it is often to refer toHadad (choosing Baal because that article has more interwikis). Went through literal demonization whenYahweh became the sole God for the Jews, and now he's viewed as a demon namedBeelzebub. Rated high in a lot of WikiProjects.

AddHuman nature

[edit]

Everyone can agree that this article is sufficiently broad enough to be included, so the main possible concern is that the article must self-destruct by being too broad or otherwise poorly defined (hence, whyEverything  5 is only VA5 despite its impressive scope). But this is not the case here, as the article specifically collects perspectives over history about how humans are psychologically/spiritually, apart from the subjective influences of a specific culture.

TheKhoekhoe people, along with theSan people  4, are considered the earliest inhabitants of Southern Africa and are genetically distinct from other human populations. They contrast with most of southern and central Africa which is inhabited byBantu peoples  4. Unlike the Bantu groups (such asZulu people  4,Xhosa people, andTswana people) who were traditionally farmers, the Khoekhoe were traditionally herders and the San were hunter-gatherers. (Maybe they still are today, I'm not sure). I considered proposingKhoisan instead, which comprises bothKhoekhoe andSan people  4, but some of what I've read suggests the differences between these two groups are larger than their similarities.

Add some film studios

[edit]

Inspired by BlueVestMan's proposals for record labels, I think we should include film studios to the same extent. Here are some important studios that we lack for the moment. Not all of them need to be added, but I'd like to have a scale of different kinds of proposals so we can have a comprehensive discussion of what should be considered vital. ChatGPT helped me choose some of these, like I don't know much of anything about Bollywood, which is a very important film market globally.

Some of the related subjects such asWoke were rejected earlier, but I think the main concept should be listed. The article not only covers the current conflicts but also discusses the idea in a more general and timeless manner (which makes History not quite appropriate as its listing location).

Non-english grammar proposals

[edit]

One of the tenets of this list is to have a worldwide focus without intrinsic bias, and this extends to languages. Given thatEnglish grammar  5 is currently Level 4 (which is still respectable to me, as English is the most spoken language worldwide by a comfortable margin, although not by native speakers). From this, it seems that some other widely-spoken languages can have the articles dedicated to their language at VA5. These proposals comprise the top 5 most spoken languages according toour own list. If this proposal fails, I'll probably nominateEnglish grammar for removal at VA4.

What a fitting time to nominate this (at least where I am). I just had a painful time trying to find a place to move unidentified flying object, which bizarrely was place under science fiction in narrative arts even though that article is almost entirely about the alleged real-life phenomena.

Topic representing native american medicine

[edit]

AtWikipedia talk:Vital articles/Level/5/STEM#Traditional medicine proposals that has been running since May 30, some items have passed (Humorism andBloodletting); others seem very likely to pass (Ancient Greek medicine, currently 5-0, andMedicine in the medieval Islamic world, 3-0) with all other nominees sitting at 2-0. Since this subject area has broad support, I think a subject depicting Native American medicine practices shoulde exist. I am not sure which, so I will leave it to the discussants to further direct this subject from the following potential subjects:

Remove/add some specific armies

[edit]

We list 8 armies. Why these? Let's think about it:British Armed Forces,French Armed Forces,French Foreign Legion,Indian Armed Forces,Israel Defense Forces,People's Liberation Army,Russian Armed Forces,United States Armed Forces. Ok, US is important due to geoplitics and history and size, sure. UK, French and Russian have a lot of history, and except the French, still some geopolitical significance. FFL is culturally famous. Chinese is very big, geopolitically signfiicant. That leaves Indian and Isreali. Indian, while being big, is IMHO not important - folks may wary about Chinese Army in the future in case of regional or WWIII conflict, but India's army is regional, nboody worries about it except PAkistan. It also has little history, just like Isreali, which is an important regional force, and in the news, but is it Vital? As such, I'll propose the removal of the last two, as well as two additions which I thinbk are more relevant. TL;DR:/IMHO 1) Indian and Israeli militaries are not very vital 2) instead we should list a German military topic and US Marines. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here01:41, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add one or more German militaries

[edit]

First, German military is no less important than French, British or Russian, these were the four major military European powers. The problem is that unlike French (infobox: 26 May 1445) andBritish Armed Forces (infobox: 16th/17th centuries), and evenRussian Armed Forces (infobox: 18th century/1992, infobox), due to the German attempts to break with WWII history,Bundeswehr has only "founded 1955". That said, modern German military,Bundeswehr (59 iwikis, 1,4k views - note, still more views and iwikis than Indian), is arguably not important, just like Indian or Isreali (and arguably, even less so). Importance of German military is historical - it's WWII-era military,Wehrmacht (77 iwikis, 2,2k views) is more viewed/famous. I did considerMilitary history of Germany, but it has just 6 views and pathetic 30 dailies, and we also don't list other military histories of (maybe we should discuss it?). I think that just like French having two articles, we can justify having two German ones. If we keep Indian and Isreali, Bundeswehr should be listed. If we remove them, it doesn't have to. But Wehrmacht should be listed due to its historical and cultural importance. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here01:41, 11 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I do acknowledge the risk of navel gazing, and there may be some bias in iwikis/dailies here, but nonetheless, 178 iwikis, 7k dailies merit inclusion.

    @GeogSage Countries belong to both geography and history. Nothing suprising. But as IP noted, the concept of puppet state is much more in line with politics than geopgraphy (or history). No need to touch (move) entries on individual countries like Poland or USA (if this is what you meant); they are at a different level than the concepts mentioned here.Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here01:55, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Piotrus I guess categorically, I would prefer the theoretical concepts related to states to be listed along side the actual examples of them. We discuss types of states within geography classes to discuss the real world examples. For example,Nation state would be a theoretical term we would ask students to find examples of. In that case, none really exist, it's an entirely theoretical term misused to describe sovereign states by people who want to sound smart, but the concept and pursuit of it as an ideal have shaped geography and history tremendously.GeogSage (⚔Chat?⚔)03:42, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I thinkInternational Maritime Organization,International Bureau of Weights and Measures andInternational Hydrographic Organization are erroneouslylisted under 'Non-governmental organizations', they should be moved one section up to 'Intergovernmental organizations'.

AddKodak

[edit]

While a shell of its former self, Kodak dominated photography in the 20th century. Founded byGeorge Eastman  4. During its peak they controlled almost the entirety of thePhotographic film  4 / camera market (~90%), and was among the largest companies. Eastman and his company pretty much invented consumer photography with theBrownie camera. Also invented thedigital camera (though ignored capitalizing it to avoid hurting film sales, which massively backfired).

AddBatik

[edit]

(basic stats: 65 language links and ~500 daily pageviews)

I believe this proposal will fills in a category of two very underrepresented categories:Textile  3(I am not sure if we even list any specific textile patterns currently) andSoutheast Asia  4. We have 117 articles in the clothing section, including many regional clothes likeKilt  5 andSari  5, but none in Southeast Asia (now that I look at it, I think there's also nothing from Africa either...)

Batik is a form of resist-dyeing, meaning a form of dyeing where you prevent some part of the clothing or fabric from getting dyed (tie-dye is an example of this). This article also has some coverage on a variety of resist-dyeing techniques in places such as Egypt, Nigeria and various places in Asia. But this article mainly focuses on the Javanese tradition of Batik, which has been in existence for over a thousand year. Batik clothing is often considered the national clothing of Indonesia.

Adjusting the Government agencies section

The body that includes the 200 or so most powerful people in China, a nation of 1.4 billion.

    but don't you think theCentral Committee of the Chinese Communist Party is more important than theStanding Committee of the National People's Congress at least? Regarding "The subordinate committees of political parties appear to have never reached level 5", I think China is a very special case (as a Chinese, you probably yourself know how powerful the Party is). Regarding theCentral Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, I'm not really opposed to adding it too at some point but I feel like the difference is the CPSU has been gone for 30 years, and the CCP rules over a country that is much more populous, and in many ways more powerful than the long-gone Soviet Union.The Account 2 (talk)18:34, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SwapIndependent Commission Against Corruption (Hong Kong)  5 withAnti-corruption

[edit]

ICAC has only 8 interwikis, and I don’t think the anti-corruption agencies ofChina’s provincial-level administrative regions are more important than the concept of Anti-corruption.

RemoveOrdnance Survey  5

[edit]

National mapping agencies exist all over the world, but I don’t understand why Ordnance Survey (16 interwikis) is considered more important and more aligned with level5 standards than theState Bureau of Surveying and Mapping,The United States Geological Survey, and theInstitut national de l'information géographique et forestière? Of course, National mapping agency itself does not qualify as a level5 concept.

SwapGCHQ  5 withSignals intelligence

[edit]

We have listed too many intelligence agencies from English-speaking countries. Why not remove some of them and replace them with concepts related to intelligence itself? In my opinion, the most renowned intelligence agencies in the UK are MI5 and MI6, while GCHQ is slightly less prominent. Therefore, I think we could exchange GCHQ for its area of responsibility, signals intelligence, and replace GCHQ with it.

SwapUnited States Department of State  5 withMinistry of foreign affairs

[edit]

I acknowledge the importance of theUnited States Department of State, but given that theMinistry of Foreign Affairs (China), theForeign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and theMinistry of Foreign Affairs (Russia)are absent from the Level 5 list, featuring only the United States Department of State appears somewhat biased. It would be more appropriate to include the general concept of “Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

SwapUnited States Department of Defense  5 withMinistry of Defence

[edit]

The United States Department of Defense is indeed an importantU.S. government body, yet its significance lies chiefly in its stewardship of theUnited States Armed Forces  5. Since theCentral Military Commission (China), theMinistry of Defence (United Kingdom), theMinistry of Armed Forces (France), and theMinistry of Defence (Russia) are all absent from the Level 5 list, the United States Department of Defense has no special claim to inclusion. It would be better to feature the overarching concept of “Ministry of Defence.”

SwapUnited States Department of the Treasury  5 withGovernment spending

[edit]

By the same logic, the United States Department of the Treasury exerts less influence on the global economy than the Federal Reserve; what makes it more deserving of a Level 5 slot thanHM Treasury or theNational Development and Reform Commission? I believe the place should go to the broader concept of “Government spending,” which is far more consequential.

By contrast, theFederal Government of the United States oversees the entire nation and is manifestly the more consequential entity.

[edit]

The Works Progress Administration was merely one of the major achievements of the New Deal. As a defunct official agency, its significance does not reach that of entities such as theSturmabteilung,theGrand Council of Fascism, or theMinistry of International Trade and Industry, which are not categorized under significance level 5. In comparison, the concept ofFull employment holds greater importance.
