Cleanup Needed

[edit]

@Infovarius: If you deeply and sincerely believe this currently useless category is meaningful in some sense, clean up the current description (at least in English) so that it's clear wtf it's talking about. A zhou (Q1070912) is not a "designation for an administrative division". It is an administrative division. If this entry is trying to say something more useful, kindly express that more clearly. And make a note on the administrative division to distinguish what shouldn't qualify.LlywelynII (talk) 07:48, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure about English wording (it's not my native), sorry. I refer to Russian (and Belorussian, and French) label, which means "type of administrative division". I believe that "zhou" is a "type of" (i.e. class), not "division" itself (i.e. instance). Further discussion about "zhou" I'd propose to move to Talk:Q1070912. --Infovarius (talk) 21:18, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the use of "designation" here is not really fitting. I set the English label to "type of ... division". I hope this helps. Kind regards, - Valentina.Anitnelav (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
please don't repurpose the item. It was created as "term for geographic division whose definition varies between countries" (Q15617994). So it was about term/ name/ designation and NOT about types of administrative entities. GeoGQL (talk) 19:54, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please explain the difference between them. --Infovarius (talk) 12:38, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
