Thank you today for République-class battleship, about "a pair of battleships built as part of a large naval program aimed at countering German naval expansion. They were largely repeated with the four Liberté class, and both designs marked a major increase in size and power over earlier French battleships. Both ships saw service during World War I, but little actual combat, and both were reduced to secondary roles by 1919."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:27, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Harrassment, hounding, bullying

Stop your uncivil commentary on my user page immediately. Brucelucier (talk) 00:06, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

I haven’t said anything to you in well over a month, what are you talking about? And if me pointing out you were wrong is “harassment” or “bullying”, I suggest you grow up. Parsecboy (talk) 00:14, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, consensus was found that third party appeals are allowed but discouraged.
• The 2021 Desysop Policy RfC was closed with no consensus. Consensus was found in a previous RfC for a community based desysop procedure, though the procedure proposed in the 2021 RfC did not gain consensus.

Technical news

• The user group oversight will be renamed to suppress. This is for technical reasons. You can comment at T112147 if you have objections.

Arbitration

• The community consultation on the Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions procedure was closed, and an initial draft based on feedback from the now closed consultation is expected to be released in early June to early July for community review.

Apologies!

My apologies, I was not aware of this rule. I will follow it in the future. Thank you! Deedman22 (talk) 22:15, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

I figured you were not - I see that the other editor has reverted you again; please let it go for the time being, and I will deal with them. Parsecboy (talk) 22:18, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Ships by decade categories

I do believe that that is indeed a thing for ship classes as ships are supposed to used launch years. See Category:1860s ships for an example--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

I don't think that's the case - it's an organizational category for all of the individual year categories where those are necessary, the same as the century parent category. For earlier periods, where the number of ships for which we have articles is low, they're the base level category (like Category:1630s ships). But in the 19th century and later, where we have hundreds (or thousands) of ships per decade, of course there's a need to split the decade into individual years. Parsecboy (talk) 20:46, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

Maybe, but I dunno, there are a lot of class listings there. Maybe bring it up at WT:SHIPS?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:48, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

That's probably a good idea. Parsecboy (talk) 08:46, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
