Welcome!

Hello, Scrobin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Lavinia Goodell, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lavinia Goodell[edit]

A tag has been placed on Lavinia Goodell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

I've cleaned up the Lavinia Goodell article and removed the deletion tag. In future, please don't post articles with no content -- write the content first, then post. Also, please note that Wikipedia is case sensitive -- "Female Lawyers" is not the same as "Female lawyers". The category does not capitalize the L, so please don't. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 21:15, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalizations[edit]

Again, please use Category:Female lawyers (no capital L). I shouldn't have to follow you around fixing your contributions. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 21:20, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please categorize correctly[edit]

Shattered Trust: The Shari Karney Story is not a Female Lawyer, it's a film. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 21:35, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I've asked you twice now to stop adding Category:Female Lawyers (with a capital L) and to use Category:Female lawyers (with a lower case l). This is the third and last time -- I don't want to block you, but I will have to do that if I can't get your attention any other way. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I didn't see the message before. This is the first time I'm seeing the message. Had I seen it earliar I would have done that. I will use a capital L now. -Scrobin

I hope you mean "user a lower-case L". Also, you can sign your posts by typing four tildes (this character: ~). NawlinWiki (talk) 21:42, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You mean this this? [[Category:Female lawyers]]

Yes. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 21:45, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Got it.

It is a little unusual that things like this are case sensitive, but a good way to ensure you have the right link is to always wp:preview your edits. Look for the blue link --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 21:55, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll do that.

Hi again, you added a category that doesn't exist here [1]. See how one of the categories is red? That mean it doesn't exist. Thank You. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 01:15, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Eva Paterson has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Jusda fax 23:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your work[edit]

An article should never be left with a non-existent (redlinked) category on it. Either the category should be created (most easily by clicking on the red link), or else the link should be removed or changed to a category that does exist. Dawnseeker2000 03:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How difficult of a concept is this? --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 03:55, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

June 2012 - categories again[edit]

Stop adding non-existent categories to articles. I see from above that this has been a problem for you for years now. The category names you are choosing (such as this one) in addition to being redlinked, are also miscapitalized and are some kind of hyphenated composite name that is contrary to prevailing standards. I have reverted all of these changes.

If you have categories you would like to propose be created and populated, please add a comment at Wikipedia talk:Categorization or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases to discuss it. If you continue in the same vein as you have been, I will be forced to block you for disruption. postdlf (talk) 22:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Categorizing pages[edit]

Regarding your recent spate of adding categories to pages, please see Wikipedia:Categorization#Categorizing pages, specifically where it reads, "each categorized page should be placed in all of the most specific categories to which it logically belongs. This means that if a page belongs to a subcategory of C (or a subcategory of a subcategory of C, and so on) then it is not normally placed directly into C." -- Pemilligan (talk) 03:20, 25 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
