Interesting feedback. I have to consider your comments. Do note that the "/" character may technically be placed in category names; I have done this a couple of times through WP:CFD discussions. However, I could understand that the word "and" would be preferable. (Also, I just marked Henrietta, Ohio as unreferenced.) Dr. Submillimeter 08:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

You might want to presume good faith and ASK what these are for. Now that I have been told that these ARE in fact, cats (even though when you click on them wikipedia says they do NOT exist, and asks if you want to CREATE them, nor do they have to be CfD'ed to be REMOVED-- which says to ME at least they are NOT in fact cats, at least not yet, just "suggested" cats -- which was my only intention, in fact), no longer am I doing that. I was doing that only as a sort of "trial-balloon." To see if a cat was needed. I was told I should enter into discussions about such cats. That's what I was trying to do. But WHERE do such discussions take place? I still haven't found anywhere. No, I am NOT trying to be "disruptive."
But tell me: what REAL "disruption" does ANY of my cat creation actually create? My guess is very few people care about the articles I am writing and categorizing anyway. So how is it disrupting to so few people? All this talk of "cat clutter." But WHOM does it clutter? Other than those of you who seem so very ANXIOUS to get rid of cats you disagree with? Thanks.

What do you think about the temporary solution I've effected for Category:Anti-communists to enable people to bring up a flat-view if they want it? (Click on the link on the category page). It has to be manually updated, which is not workable in the long run, but it does allow the two approaches to be contrasted. Carcharoth 17:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I found meta:DynamicPageList, which does exactly what I was trying to do, but better. It seems to be only installed on Wikinews, but I'll try and remember to ask around. Carcharoth 10:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
It is beginning to look like several of us have now been able to sort through most of Pastorwayne's categories (or at least the ones that were not badly enmeshed into the Wikipedia infrastructure like the Missionary categories). One of his most confusing category schemes was for missionaries in Angola; I think he created four or five categories for one person. I am also happier that Pastorwayne is focusing on writing about bishops instead of creating a jumbled and confused category scheme. The articles have a much more positive impact and actually communicate useful information to people; the categories were almost beginning to have a negative impact.
Pastorwayne is also behaving better now. I almost have the sense that he would listen instead of argue if I talked to him. However, I worry that he will regress. After all, he has written his autobiography at least twice despite repeated warnings. Nonetheless, after tying up a few loose ends at WP:CFD and finishing a few other things with his categories, I am ready to go do other things.
One thing that I did notice that is worth doing: Pastorwayne tends to leave several stub boxes within articles even after he has written a few paragraphs on his subjects. It is worthwhile to go through and remove the stub boxes that he leaves behind. It demonstrates the potential positive impact that he can have. Dr. Submillimeter 23:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi roundhouse, I'm guess that like me your head is starting to hurt a bit with all the methodist categories ... but I just wanted to say that I don't think that your latest suggestion about the missionary bishops at is actually workable.

First, I looked at John Wesley Lord. A Google search turned up quite a bit of interesting information on him, so I voted to keep the article. See the AfD page for more details on my keep vote. The problem is that Pastorwayne only states facts about the person that were of little historical relevance while failing to ignore the person's notable commentaries and actions. I refer to Pastorwayne's approach as "the relentless mentioning of facts". It makes history boring. Pastorwayne needs to learn to write better.
Second, you may be interested in Category:Linguists of Biblical languages, another Pastorwayne category. I have nominated it for deletion. It does not even seem that the people in the category are linguists. Dr. Submillimeter 09:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Roundhouse0. Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thanks! -- Kralizec!

I noticed your comments over on Why tags are evil from some time ago. I thought you might be interested in a new, unobtrusive clean-up icon created by User:Notmyhandle, which I think would be another good step in the same spirit as that taken by the small sp icon that has become so prominent, such as on White House. You can take a look at the new, smaller, cleanup icon here, and if you like what you see, please leave a comment here. I think that tags, though they serve some purpose, have really become visual pollution, and we need more of these smaller icons. Cheers. Unschool 07:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Yes, I am (for one more year) a student there. I wanted to have a go at this wikipedia-ing lark, so thought I would have a go at expanding an article that I know something about - as it was, the LGS article didn't have many references and it wasn't balanced at all (quite a few sections clearly added by pupils with an axe to grind). I'm not sure if it counts as a conflict of interest or something, me editing my own school, but I'm going to try to get it up past "start-class".
Anyway, in terms of the GB School template: The phone and fax fields were there before I started. You clearly know more about these things than me, so what would you suggest? Shall we remove both, or keep them and add a "postcode" field? I'm inclined to think that more information is better than less - if someone is looking up a school on wiki, there's probably a chance they might want to contact them at some point. However, I take your point that Wikipedia is not a directory. Thanks for being so welcoming, anyhoo. ( Chgallen 14:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC))
I'm afraid the good Pastor is in the midst of another frenzy of creation - I count 101 new categories in the last 8 days (assuming each creation has an edit comment - in fact there will probably be more, uncommented) including several more of primates, several ambiguously named, etc. I have detailed them at test6, earlier ones are at test1 etc. I would support a ban from any edits in category space for some time, while these creations are sorted out.

Hi. Here's the status quo: If the coordinates are entered under the "coordinates" field using {{coord}}, they will appear as they did/do. If entered as lat and long, they appear in the new way. This is just a backwards compatibility thing. At some point (probably next weekend, as I have exams all this week) I plan to go through all the schools which use the old method and convert them. I'll then remove the old coordinates parameter from the template. That's the plan anyhow. ( chgallen 20:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC))

If you are willing, would you read through WP:M, and be prepared to open one? There would be at least 4 parties directly involved, with me (I presume) as an "outside party/third opinion" ( Wikipedia:Resolving disputes#Informal mediation). There were also several surveys at WP:AN among other places. Note that this may be refused or ignored by at least one of the parties, so you may also wish to be prepared and read over WP:RfAr as well. As you have collated the evidence, I think you would be the best person to help with this. I just didn't want to drop this on you unaware, and honestly, I'm hoping that it won't be needed.

FWIW I am now fully in the 'patience exhausted' camp, partly through re-reading the discussion of early Jan (nothing has changed other than the creation of over 100 new categories, hardly any of which bear scrutiny, none the result of any discussion or collaboration), and partly through his own words of yesterday. 'Give him enough rope' - we don't need to, he brings his own supplies. (He has made recent edits in Namespace:Category talk, announcing himself as the person in charge, not consistent with a decision to leave categories alone.) I still favour a complete ban in Namespace:category only, but would prefer a complete ban to the possibility of seeing any more category edits courtesy of PW. -- roundhouse0 12:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Are you currently working on cleaning up the primate categories? I wonder if an overall plan is needed for what remains. User:BrownHairedGirl would probably be interested as well. I even wonder if the categories are needed aside from the Anglican tree. "Primate" is more or less a synonym with "patriarch" or "archbishop" is most of these cases, especially for the Catholics and Lutherans. Also, Wikipedia does have Category:Church patriarchs and Category:Religious leaders which could also be used for many of these people. Dr. Submillimeter 09:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am aware of the edit warring on these articles, I regard the whole thing as rather childish and so I have been hoping that it would all blow over without the need for intervention (things had seemed quieter recently). Although I sometimes have done in the past, I am a bit reluctant to intervene in my administrator shoes in arguments that include editors that I have worked with in my editor shoes. However, I am watching these articles and will block for 3RR/protect if necessary.

but instead it's rather like

An editor has placed this category as a subcategory of Category:Converts to Christianity again, and I see and remember you mentioned to me that you've had a long-standing battle to prevent that. (If you've forgotten your reasoning (which I agree with), it's because most of those in the converts to Mormonism were Christians already, so it's not really appropriate for them to be considered a "convert to Christianity", i.e., in a subcategory of this.) I thought I would let you know — I would just change it back myself, but I've had some encounters with the editor in question that I think have given him the impression that I have a vendetta against him (which I don't, at least I don't think I do....), so I'd just as soon avoid the issue directly if I could by not reverting something he has done.

Hi, I've noticed you have edited a few of the categories, and if you are having as much trouble as I have had in finding these categories since removal of categories via normal browsing techniques, you can find most of the categories here.

Dear Roundhouse0
As a Wikipedian interested in African subjects and specifically Malawi, I would like you to be aware of the following two opportunities:
1. Wikimedia South Africa and WikiAfrica are organising an WikiIndaba for February 2014 – a continental meeting for Africa-based Wikipedians to get together, discuss challenges and drive the agenda for Wikipedia from Africa. If you support this initiative, then please sign up on this site: http://wikiindaba.net – we also want to hear what you want the Wiki Indaba to achieve. What are your expectations? What does it need to include? Who and what do you want to see happen at WikiIndaba? What is your area of interest? Languages? Data? Please share your ideas and thoughts on the Community Portal
2. WikiAfrica is looking for a Wikipedian in Residence from Malawi. This might be a position that you would consider. Or it could be the perfect opportunity for someone you know from Malawi, please spread the word! For more details, please look at this page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/wikipedian-in-residence-malawi
If you have any questions about either of the above, please contact isla on isla [at] wikiafrica [dot] net : Isla Haddow ( talk)

Interesting feedback. I have to consider your comments. Do note that the "/" character may technically be placed in category names; I have done this a couple of times through WP:CFD discussions. However, I could understand that the word "and" would be preferable. (Also, I just marked Henrietta, Ohio as unreferenced.) Dr. Submillimeter 08:23, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
I left a comment on User:Pastorwayne and his rapid category creation at WP:ANI. The comment asks for Pastorwayne to be regulated regarding category creation. Feel free to comment. Dr. Submillimeter 22:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
You might want to presume good faith and ASK what these are for. Now that I have been told that these ARE in fact, cats (even though when you click on them wikipedia says they do NOT exist, and asks if you want to CREATE them, nor do they have to be CfD'ed to be REMOVED-- which says to ME at least they are NOT in fact cats, at least not yet, just "suggested" cats -- which was my only intention, in fact), no longer am I doing that. I was doing that only as a sort of "trial-balloon." To see if a cat was needed. I was told I should enter into discussions about such cats. That's what I was trying to do. But WHERE do such discussions take place? I still haven't found anywhere. No, I am NOT trying to be "disruptive."
But tell me: what REAL "disruption" does ANY of my cat creation actually create? My guess is very few people care about the articles I am writing and categorizing anyway. So how is it disrupting to so few people? All this talk of "cat clutter." But WHOM does it clutter? Other than those of you who seem so very ANXIOUS to get rid of cats you disagree with? Thanks.

What do you think about the temporary solution I've effected for Category:Anti-communists to enable people to bring up a flat-view if they want it? (Click on the link on the category page). It has to be manually updated, which is not workable in the long run, but it does allow the two approaches to be contrasted. Carcharoth 17:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I found meta:DynamicPageList, which does exactly what I was trying to do, but better. It seems to be only installed on Wikinews, but I'll try and remember to ask around. Carcharoth 10:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
It is beginning to look like several of us have now been able to sort through most of Pastorwayne's categories (or at least the ones that were not badly enmeshed into the Wikipedia infrastructure like the Missionary categories). One of his most confusing category schemes was for missionaries in Angola; I think he created four or five categories for one person. I am also happier that Pastorwayne is focusing on writing about bishops instead of creating a jumbled and confused category scheme. The articles have a much more positive impact and actually communicate useful information to people; the categories were almost beginning to have a negative impact.
Pastorwayne is also behaving better now. I almost have the sense that he would listen instead of argue if I talked to him. However, I worry that he will regress. After all, he has written his autobiography at least twice despite repeated warnings. Nonetheless, after tying up a few loose ends at WP:CFD and finishing a few other things with his categories, I am ready to go do other things.
One thing that I did notice that is worth doing: Pastorwayne tends to leave several stub boxes within articles even after he has written a few paragraphs on his subjects. It is worthwhile to go through and remove the stub boxes that he leaves behind. It demonstrates the potential positive impact that he can have. Dr. Submillimeter 23:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi roundhouse, I'm guess that like me your head is starting to hurt a bit with all the methodist categories ... but I just wanted to say that I don't think that your latest suggestion about the missionary bishops at is actually workable.

First, I looked at John Wesley Lord. A Google search turned up quite a bit of interesting information on him, so I voted to keep the article. See the AfD page for more details on my keep vote. The problem is that Pastorwayne only states facts about the person that were of little historical relevance while failing to ignore the person's notable commentaries and actions. I refer to Pastorwayne's approach as "the relentless mentioning of facts". It makes history boring. Pastorwayne needs to learn to write better.
Second, you may be interested in Category:Linguists of Biblical languages, another Pastorwayne category. I have nominated it for deletion. It does not even seem that the people in the category are linguists. Dr. Submillimeter 09:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I noticed your comments over on Why tags are evil from some time ago. I thought you might be interested in a new, unobtrusive clean-up icon created by User:Notmyhandle, which I think would be another good step in the same spirit as that taken by the small sp icon that has become so prominent, such as on White House. You can take a look at the new, smaller, cleanup icon here, and if you like what you see, please leave a comment here. I think that tags, though they serve some purpose, have really become visual pollution, and we need more of these smaller icons. Cheers. Unschool 07:37, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Yes, I am (for one more year) a student there. I wanted to have a go at this wikipedia-ing lark, so thought I would have a go at expanding an article that I know something about - as it was, the LGS article didn't have many references and it wasn't balanced at all (quite a few sections clearly added by pupils with an axe to grind). I'm not sure if it counts as a conflict of interest or something, me editing my own school, but I'm going to try to get it up past "start-class".
Anyway, in terms of the GB School template: The phone and fax fields were there before I started. You clearly know more about these things than me, so what would you suggest? Shall we remove both, or keep them and add a "postcode" field? I'm inclined to think that more information is better than less - if someone is looking up a school on wiki, there's probably a chance they might want to contact them at some point. However, I take your point that Wikipedia is not a directory. Thanks for being so welcoming, anyhoo. ( Chgallen 14:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC))
I'm afraid the good Pastor is in the midst of another frenzy of creation - I count 101 new categories in the last 8 days (assuming each creation has an edit comment - in fact there will probably be more, uncommented) including several more of primates, several ambiguously named, etc. I have detailed them at test6, earlier ones are at test1 etc. I would support a ban from any edits in category space for some time, while these creations are sorted out.

Hi. Here's the status quo: If the coordinates are entered under the "coordinates" field using {{coord}}, they will appear as they did/do. If entered as lat and long, they appear in the new way. This is just a backwards compatibility thing. At some point (probably next weekend, as I have exams all this week) I plan to go through all the schools which use the old method and convert them. I'll then remove the old coordinates parameter from the template. That's the plan anyhow. ( chgallen 20:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC))

If you are willing, would you read through WP:M, and be prepared to open one? There would be at least 4 parties directly involved, with me (I presume) as an "outside party/third opinion" ( Wikipedia:Resolving disputes#Informal mediation). There were also several surveys at WP:AN among other places. Note that this may be refused or ignored by at least one of the parties, so you may also wish to be prepared and read over WP:RfAr as well. As you have collated the evidence, I think you would be the best person to help with this. I just didn't want to drop this on you unaware, and honestly, I'm hoping that it won't be needed.

FWIW I am now fully in the 'patience exhausted' camp, partly through re-reading the discussion of early Jan (nothing has changed other than the creation of over 100 new categories, hardly any of which bear scrutiny, none the result of any discussion or collaboration), and partly through his own words of yesterday. 'Give him enough rope' - we don't need to, he brings his own supplies. (He has made recent edits in Namespace:Category talk, announcing himself as the person in charge, not consistent with a decision to leave categories alone.) I still favour a complete ban in Namespace:category only, but would prefer a complete ban to the possibility of seeing any more category edits courtesy of PW. -- roundhouse0 12:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Are you currently working on cleaning up the primate categories? I wonder if an overall plan is needed for what remains. User:BrownHairedGirl would probably be interested as well. I even wonder if the categories are needed aside from the Anglican tree. "Primate" is more or less a synonym with "patriarch" or "archbishop" is most of these cases, especially for the Catholics and Lutherans. Also, Wikipedia does have Category:Church patriarchs and Category:Religious leaders which could also be used for many of these people. Dr. Submillimeter 09:14, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am aware of the edit warring on these articles, I regard the whole thing as rather childish and so I have been hoping that it would all blow over without the need for intervention (things had seemed quieter recently). Although I sometimes have done in the past, I am a bit reluctant to intervene in my administrator shoes in arguments that include editors that I have worked with in my editor shoes. However, I am watching these articles and will block for 3RR/protect if necessary.

I haven't noticed any evidence in the last couple of months of any PW-like activities, either in category space or UM-bishop-article-space. Of course if he just started using edit summaries it would throw me completely. -- roundhouse0 ( talk) 12:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
All the ones in the current line-up are royal, I'm pretty sure. None of the Ligne, Arenberg etc princesses seem to have articles yet, for all their efforts to grab the headlines! Not sure how to handle them - I'm surprised the WP nob-squad hasn't got round to them, and they may in future. Johnbod ( talk) 16:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
Section in the school article, perhaps - at least until it is fully working. What a joy it must be to have such a mighty organ! Johnbod ( talk) 00:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately, I don't see how to change the title of the category. I'll chagne it if you advise me how. Chrissypan ( talk) 18:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for populating that category. My only reason for my wanting to delete was because it I was about to close it and it was still, for all intents and purposes, empty. Late as it may be, I added a comment to change the delete to keep. -- Kbdank71 13:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
No problem. I saw that you added Emma Goldman, so I added everybody I could think of who is buried there. — Malik Shabazz ( talk · contribs) 19:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Please do not keep the category Category:People from Estevan, Saskatchewan. This category is proposing for renaming. The main article and the disambiguation page linked as Estevan as the user has made the requested move. This category should be rename to match. Steam5 ( talk) 02:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
You had participated at the original discussion of the People from Greenwich Village, New York category at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 April 30. The original decision to delete was overturned at WP:DRV and is now being discussed again at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 May 19#New York places categories. Your participation will help ensure that a broader consensus can be reached on this matter. Alansohn ( talk) 17:00, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I've left a rather lengthy comment in response to your previous comments.
But before you go read it, I'd like to briefly note that it's the category I have issue with. Please don't consider my response or the tone thereof to reflect upon you personally in any way. - jc37 03:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
An editor has placed this category as a subcategory of Category:Converts to Christianity again, and I see and remember you mentioned to me that you've had a long-standing battle to prevent that. (If you've forgotten your reasoning (which I agree with), it's because most of those in the converts to Mormonism were Christians already, so it's not really appropriate for them to be considered a "convert to Christianity", i.e., in a subcategory of this.) I thought I would let you know — I would just change it back myself, but I've had some encounters with the editor in question that I think have given him the impression that I have a vendetta against him (which I don't, at least I don't think I do....), so I'd just as soon avoid the issue directly if I could by not reverting something he has done.
And I think the same has been done to category:Converts to Anglicanism, Category:Converts to Methodism, etc. My apologies for my Mormonism-centrism. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing this category from my edit. Honestly, I'm not sure why I did that — obviously I was confused; I think I probably thought I was in "Protestants by nationality" for some reason. ... Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:23, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, both Llewelyn Lewellin and William Williams (speaker) are on "my" List of alumni of Jesus College, Oxford. The DYK was for seven new articles, which I why I didn't include them (or Humphrey Humphreys!) Bencherlite Talk 12:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I dropped a note on his talk page and at the Christianity Project. Johnbod ( talk) 22:44, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
As a participant in the discussion, you may be interested in the Deletion Review that has been listed regarding my closure of the discussion as "no consensus". Regards, Bencherlite Talk 23:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Please do not oppose the categories and do not participate in the categories Category:People from Leduc (city), Alberta and Category:People from Camrose (city), Alberta. The Leduc and Camrose categories doesn't need the word city in brackets. The categories are titled Category:Leduc, Alberta and Leduc, Alberta are also titled for the main article for an example. And the main article Camrose, Alberta is titled without using the word city in brackets and it doesn't need to disambiguate. These 2 Alberta categories has to be renamed in order to match the titles.

Hi, I've noticed you have edited a few of the categories, and if you are having as much trouble as I have had in finding these categories since removal of categories via normal browsing techniques, you can find most of the categories here. I'm not adding any categories myself though until such time as the CfD is complete. Cheers -- Россавиа Диалог 17:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Don't you think the opening sentence of this article "bestselling British author" is somewhat peacock term? Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 10:35, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Why bother if only one song page fits the category, though? Category:Songs written by Anthony Smith had two songs in it and it got deleted as overly narrow. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ( Broken clamshells• Otter chirps) 03:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear Roundhouse0
As a Wikipedian interested in African subjects and specifically Malawi, I would like you to be aware of the following two opportunities:
1. Wikimedia South Africa and WikiAfrica are organising an WikiIndaba for February 2014 – a continental meeting for Africa-based Wikipedians to get together, discuss challenges and drive the agenda for Wikipedia from Africa. If you support this initiative, then please sign up on this site: http://wikiindaba.net – we also want to hear what you want the Wiki Indaba to achieve. What are your expectations? What does it need to include? Who and what do you want to see happen at WikiIndaba? What is your area of interest? Languages? Data? Please share your ideas and thoughts on the Community Portal
2. WikiAfrica is looking for a Wikipedian in Residence from Malawi. This might be a position that you would consider. Or it could be the perfect opportunity for someone you know from Malawi, please spread the word! For more details, please look at this page: http://www.wikiafrica.net/wikipedian-in-residence-malawi
If you have any questions about either of the above, please contact isla on isla [at] wikiafrica [dot] net : Isla Haddow ( talk)
