Commons:Categories for discussion/2023/02/Category:Border Control Posts

Can this category be merged into Category:Checkpoints in Poland‎? It looks like this category is about the same subject, and now it causes confusing. If no: What are the differences between these two categories? Which files/subcategories should be in this one and which in the other? Can you give descriptions for both categories?

Kategoria ta powinna pozostać, bo dotyczy pododdziałów granicznych które ochraniają granicę państwową w przejściach granicznych. Natomiast punkt kontrolny, jest to przejście graniczne gdzie swoje czynności wykonuje więcej różnych służb związanych z odprawą graniczną podróżnych i środków transportu. Ponadto graniczna placówka kontrolna mogła prowadzić kontrolę graniczną na kilku podległych przejściach granicznych. Wlodek k1 (talk) 11:56, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Translation into English (by Google Translate): This category should remain, because it concerns border subdivisions that protect the state border at border crossings. On the other hand, a checkpoint is a border crossing where more different services related to border clearance of travelers and means of transport perform their activities. In addition, the border inspection post could carry out border control at several subordinate border crossing points.

So, this is about checkpoints, but with less facilities? If yes, I suggest:

• Rename this category to a category with "Poland" in the name, and without capitals (Example: Category:Border control posts in Poland). Now it looks like this category is for the whole world. [I can easily rename categories, just let me know what the new name should be.]
• Give it a good description, describe also the differences with Category:Checkpoints in Poland‎, as you did here (that may be in Polish).
• Make it a subcategory of Category:Checkpoints in Poland‎ instead of Category:Border control.

Proponuję nazwę kategorii "Graniczne placówki kontrolne w Polsce" Wlodek k1 (talk) 13:17, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since all category names should be in English, it cannot be "Graniczne placówki kontrolne w Polsce". The translation by Google Translate is "Border checkpoints in Poland".

• Is that correct, is that the new name you propose, should it not be "Border control posts in Poland"?
• But that is a Pleonazm/Pleonasm. Checkpoints in Commons are always at a border. Then it will be "Checkpoints in Poland", just like the existing category; both categories will then be merged, this one then will get a redirect to Category:Checkpoints in Poland‎.

Please let me know what you want an what the new name in English should be. JopkeB (talk) 02:42, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ponieważ widzę, że nie rozumiemy się, proponuję nazwę "Graniczne placówki kontrolne Wojsk Ochrony Pogranicza i Straży Granicznej w Polsce". Ty przetłumacz to na angielski aby było poprawnie. Pozdrawiam Wlodek k1 (talk) 15:54, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have ask for help by someone who does speak Polish on Commons:Bar#Please:_help. JopkeB (talk) 04:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It turns out that this category has been renamed to Category:GPK in Poland (with a parent in Polish). So this discussion can be closed. --JopkeB (talk) 06:16, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
