Stub templates do not count as categorization, as they're temporary "categories" for project maintenance which will eventually be removed from the article. An article is not properly categorized until it's been filed in at least one real end user content category which is declared directly on the article itself in the form [[Category:(something)]], and not artificially transcluded by a maintenance template.

We noticed though that when you edited ICP8, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ATP, Transcription and Viral ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Kinkreet,
Thanks for alerting me to this problem with the Japanese version of GoogleTrans. I've just updated it with the new version which will not show you that message. I've quickly tested and it seems to work okay. (Unfortunately, the "translate next sentence" doesn't seem to work well since it selects the whole page instead of the next sentence (because of the lack of periods in Japanese) Please tell me if there is any other changes you need in GoogleTrans gadget.

I have read your comments with regards to using name Vysochanskii as the most appropriate one in the article title. What can I say. As you may guess English is not my mother tongue, but I have been living in the English speaking country for 20 years. I have seen hundreds of Russian and Ukrainian family names that have the same ending as Visochanskii (as you suggested ) I have never ever seen such a spelling in my life. Maybe it appeared just recently and I am not aware of it. As I already mentioned I personally knew Dmitri Fedorovich Visochanski for many years, so I know his name in Russian very well and the article in Russian Wikipedia bears a correct name. I raised the issue with English translation only because it looks ridiculous to me. If it does not for English community it is OK. Anyway English does not have an equivalent sound for the ending of this name and for native English speaking person it is very difficult and nearly impossible to pronounce it correctly. And please do not forget that when the article containing this inequality was translated first in English the translator used the name Vysochanskij
Gchoul ( talk) 15:48, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Agree with you 100%. To put it simple I requested the name change to Vysochanskij not because I personally like it but rather having in mind a consideration that you mentioned.Wikipedia is built first and foremost on reliable sources. The most reliable source in English which actually is used in the references of this article:
D. F. Vysochanskij, Y. I. Petunin (1980). "Justification of the 3σ rule for unimodal distributions". Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics 21: 25–36.
Please agree that it is not a good idea to have 2 different spellings of the name in one article even if it had it for 9 years

Have been looking at your article Progeroid syndrome was thinking of copyediting. To me there is a glaring mistake but perhaps I'm wrong?

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Arctic cross. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Arctic Star. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Arctic Star – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Marjoleinkl ( talk) 12:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi there - I'm the creator of the original http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammo_(musician) page which you nominated for deletion. I'd like to ask for you to userfy it so that I can update it with better sources. I think the two main issues for this article is that, first, some of the original legitimate sources were deleted and, second, due to the nature of the name "Ammo" finding new sources is difficult unless you know exactly what to search for. Ammo is a producer and songwriter, so when googling, "Ammo producer" and "Ammo songwriter" will return much better results. Pls let me know best way to proceed.

Hi there. I think you've picked up the wrong end of the stick with regards to my e-mail. If you look at the article in question Joe Dolan you'll see that I actually self-reverted and abandoned what had become a silly edit war over minutae (as you correctly noted). My concern was simply that the editor appeared to be making a lot of edits which were attracting attention but which seem to me to be in good faith. What I would like to see happen is for the editor to become aware of his own talk page and to engage with others. My hope would be that he would enjoy editing more and that the wiki would get more out of him. That's all. No complaint from me, no animosity, no adverse comments - nothing! Just trying to help someone who appears to be fairly new to the wiki, as others have helped (and continue to help) me. SonofSetanta ( talk) 15:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello Kinkreet. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

I'm pretty sure you did not intend to do this, but apparently Twinkle messed up on you and created two identical AfD discussions for Companygonj Bodiul Alam High School.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited ICP8, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages ATP, Transcription and Viral ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Kinkreet,
Thanks for alerting me to this problem with the Japanese version of GoogleTrans. I've just updated it with the new version which will not show you that message. I've quickly tested and it seems to work okay. (Unfortunately, the "translate next sentence" doesn't seem to work well since it selects the whole page instead of the next sentence (because of the lack of periods in Japanese) Please tell me if there is any other changes you need in GoogleTrans gadget.

I have read your comments with regards to using name Vysochanskii as the most appropriate one in the article title. What can I say. As you may guess English is not my mother tongue, but I have been living in the English speaking country for 20 years. I have seen hundreds of Russian and Ukrainian family names that have the same ending as Visochanskii (as you suggested ) I have never ever seen such a spelling in my life. Maybe it appeared just recently and I am not aware of it. As I already mentioned I personally knew Dmitri Fedorovich Visochanski for many years, so I know his name in Russian very well and the article in Russian Wikipedia bears a correct name. I raised the issue with English translation only because it looks ridiculous to me. If it does not for English community it is OK. Anyway English does not have an equivalent sound for the ending of this name and for native English speaking person it is very difficult and nearly impossible to pronounce it correctly. And please do not forget that when the article containing this inequality was translated first in English the translator used the name Vysochanskij
Gchoul ( talk) 15:48, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Agree with you 100%. To put it simple I requested the name change to Vysochanskij not because I personally like it but rather having in mind a consideration that you mentioned.Wikipedia is built first and foremost on reliable sources. The most reliable source in English which actually is used in the references of this article:
D. F. Vysochanskij, Y. I. Petunin (1980). "Justification of the 3σ rule for unimodal distributions". Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics 21: 25–36.
Please agree that it is not a good idea to have 2 different spellings of the name in one article even if it had it for 9 years

Have been looking at your article Progeroid syndrome was thinking of copyediting. To me there is a glaring mistake but perhaps I'm wrong? You state that the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome is a Progeroid syndrome and also give a section over to this.....but the HGPS is the main type from which the others the progeroid syndromes are likened to ??

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Arctic cross. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Arctic Star. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Arctic Star – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Marjoleinkl ( talk) 12:25, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi there - I'm the creator of the original http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammo_(musician) page which you nominated for deletion. I'd like to ask for you to userfy it so that I can update it with better sources. I think the two main issues for this article is that, first, some of the original legitimate sources were deleted and, second, due to the nature of the name "Ammo" finding new sources is difficult unless you know exactly what to search for. Ammo is a producer and songwriter, so when googling, "Ammo producer" and "Ammo songwriter" will return much better results. Pls let me know best way to proceed. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Empty bottle1234 ( talk • contribs) 14:19, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. I think you've picked up the wrong end of the stick with regards to my e-mail. If you look at the article in question Joe Dolan you'll see that I actually self-reverted and abandoned what had become a silly edit war over minutae (as you correctly noted). My concern was simply that the editor appeared to be making a lot of edits which were attracting attention but which seem to me to be in good faith. What I would like to see happen is for the editor to become aware of his own talk page and to engage with others. My hope would be that he would enjoy editing more and that the wiki would get more out of him. That's all. No complaint from me, no animosity, no adverse comments - nothing! Just trying to help someone who appears to be fairly new to the wiki, as others have helped (and continue to help) me. SonofSetanta ( talk) 15:36, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Would you be interested in helping new editors at this event - Wikipedia:WikiProject Royal Society/Diversity in Science Edit-a-thon, Royal Society, March 25, 2014? The whole event lasts from 2-9pm, but the key periods for helpers are about 2.45-5.20 and 6.60-9.00 pm, when they are all actually editing. An extra hand at any parts of these periods would be very useful. If you can make it, please sign up at the event page, & I will need your name for reception (can be kept private if that's an issue).

Hello Kinkreet. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).
