CFD

Hello, LaundryPizza03,

Thank you for closing all of those category deletion discusions. CFD doesn't get a lot of attention from admins and so relies on editors to do NAC closures. I appreciate you closing out the discussions, emptying or recategorizing the categories and then tagging them for deletion. Thanks again! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:13, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

I'd just like to echo Liz. I've been burnt out from closing CfD discussions lately, and I appreciate your work closing these discussions. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:59, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Yes, thanks from me too!

After closing, please follow WP:CFDAI to implement the closes, or list them at WT:CFDW to be implemented by admins. Qwerfjkl has come up with a neat way of recording them there, ready for pasting into the Working page, but it's not essential to record them that way.

I noticed that you have done half a dozen copy-and-paste moves of category pages. This is no more advisable for categories than for articles, as it loses (i) page history (attribution to original authors), (ii) talk pages and (iii) interwiki links at Wikidata. Also, it's more work for you to move all the member pages, than to wait for a bot to do the heavy lifting.

I've undone six that I found, including Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 March 15#Works by fictional setting (apologies to Explicit for the resulting UNDOs here and at Wikidata).

I acknowledge that there has been a further backlog in transferring the Non-Admin Closes from the talk page to the Working page, but please be patient, or post a request at WP:CR or WP:AN if no admin gets to them within a few days. – Fayenatic London 14:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

I use this script to list discussions. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:35, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks!

Appreciate the multiple saves, my attempts to clean up the comic articles seems to have caused even more mess! Thank you for your patience and help =) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 16:11, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

You're welcome. I routinely do an AfD whenever I notice an article that was PRODded twice. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 20:36, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Procedural relisting

It would appear that there was no CFD template here because a bot removed it on 3 April. Iskandar323 (talk) 18:27, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Magical alphabet(s)

You cited WP:SINGULAR in your page move. Have you read there the sentence, "Exceptions include... the names of classes of objects (e.g. Arabic numerals or Bantu languages)."? – .Raven  ^.talk 16:15, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure that this is a "class" so much as a "general concept" like Constructed script. The magical alphabets are not necessarily related to each other. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 23:40, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Their commonality is their use in and for magic. That's what the article covers. The topic is not any single alphabet called ['the'] "magical alphabet". – .Raven  ^.talk 23:52, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 3#Category:World Champions in 5.5 Metre

I don't think it was the will of the users involved to merge the Category:International 14 world champions to Category:Soling class sailors. May I 1) remove the five (I think it was) articles from the Category:Soling class sailors; 2) (re)create the Category:International 14 class world champions (proposed name from discussion) or does it need something more formal before? Kaffet i halsen (talk) 07:30, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

You will need to appeal to WP:DRV if you believe that my decision was incorrect. I'm still learning this stuff, so feedback will be greatly appreciated. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:26, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I'll write some lines there. One could probably argue the nomination could have been smaller to be more clear. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 07:00, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

CFD on Category:French Polynesian lawyers

Re: Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 April 30#Category:French Polynesian lawyers

Since you've closed this I've managed to find more articles, so that it no longer meets WP:SMALLCAT. Can the decision be reversed? IdiotSavant (talk) 00:00, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

@IdiotSavant: I don't know what the correct procedure is in this case. I have asked WP:AN for guidance. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:44, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. IdiotSavant (talk) 02:04, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Categories & CSD

Hello, LaundryPizza03,

Just a head's up, categories can't be tagged for speedy deletion unless they are emptied. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:12, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

CFD closures

If you're going to close this discussion as merge, shouldn't you merge the categories? The same holds for the other CFD discussions you closed. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 01:38, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

I have a script that automatically lists closed discussions at WT:CFDW, where they will be processed by an admin: User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/CFDlister. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Ok, that's good to know. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 01:46, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Please respect editors

Hi. On 21:21, 30 May 2023 you posted a thread to merge a category. The problem is in the uncalled for language that you used. You stated, "Even more WP:SMALLCAT garbage in the Category:Assassinated politicians by time tree created earlier this month by Thinker78 (talk · contribs)." Although I believe in freedom of speech, my experience in Wikipedia has shown me that editors who use such language most of the times don't care about freedom of speech themselves and simply behave in a rude manner without respecting their fellow editors. Therefore, I remind you of the civility policy, "editors should always treat each other with consideration and respect. They should focus on improving the encyclopedia while maintaining a pleasant editing environment by behaving politely, calmly and reasonably, even during heated debates." I hope the discussions in the future become more collegial, abiding with said policy. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 21:37, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
