The "Stalker" story was picked up by some outlets, but none of the reports confirmed the veracity of the "leak" - they only reported that someone was claiming to have found a CD in Sufjan's trash. Also, Stereogum interviewed the leaker ( http://www.stereogum.com/1886632/an-interview-with-the-guy-who-says-he-found-an-unreleased-album-in-sufjan-stevens-dumpster/franchises/interview/), Mark Rebillet, who was found to have been involved in other possible hoaxes ( http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=17383). In short, no one reported on the actual album being real, only on the fact that someone was claiming it was - and this person provided no evidence whatsoever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.133.99 ( talk) 10:19, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi there! I've been doing a little work to improve WikiProject Bahá'í Faith after a bit of a hiatus, and wanted to see if you had any input on how to go about it. I've cleaned up the layout a little, added a section on finding reliable sources for articles on the Bahá'í Faith, and set up new article search. I also want to go over the assessment page to make it even clearer where different articles should fall on the importance scale. Since you've contributed significantly to that page, I was hoping you might have some suggestions. If you have the chance, please take a look at what I've been doing and let me know if you have any feedback! -- dragfyre_ ʞןɐʇ c 14:59, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Malinaccier ( talk) 23:40, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
When you're PRODing album pages and a band has a page, it's better not to PROD them and instead redirect them to the band's page, or in the case of for example Sabaton, the discography page. Please keep that in mind in case a subject ever receives significant coverage in the future. Thanks for your cooperation. ULTRA-DARKNESS :) 2 CHAT 17:48, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Koavf,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Rome International Film Festival (RIFF) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rome International Film Festival (RIFF) .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,
Onel5969 TT me 13:43, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
Koavf, I just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing work you are doing going through every non-tagged article and putting the appropriate tag(s) on them. As the de facto administrator for WikiProject Colombia, I try and keep track of all new pages that come up that are relevant to the project, but obviously some slip through the gaps now and then, and I was surprised to see a bunch of them come up last week on the "unassessed articles" list. I know how tedious your job must be (there must be tens of thousands of untagged articles on Wikipedia) but having them all tagged is so important, otherwise relevant WikiProjects are unaware of them, and can't improve them or send them for AfD or whatever... they just sit there forgotten. So... here's at least one editor who is grateful for your work.
By the way, is there a page or category holder for all these untagged articles? I've looked in the past for such a place to find which articles remain untagged, but never discovered it. Thanks. Richard3120 ( talk) 18:30, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
hi. WP:ESPIONAGE here, found you on some other article. I already have access to AWB, but I rarely use it. How to use it for tagging articles with project banners? I want to tag espionage, and WP:MAFIA. Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm not talking about the African American category, I'm talking about Category:American male professional wrestlers and Category:American female professional wrestlers, those are subcategories to Category:American professional wrestlers and WP:DUPCAT doesn't apply there.

Side comment on this edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Derek_Minor&curid=37966093&diff=798517675&oldid=798434538 I find it odd that Category:African-American male actors is not a child cat of Category:American male actors.

Why did you add Category:American musical theatre actors and Category:American singers to George Givot, among others, when those categories specify that entries should be moved to subcategories and he is already in Category:American male musical theatre actors and Category:American male singers? Clarityfiend ( talk) 08:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
I don't understand why you have added American historians to people who are already in American art historians. Art history is a separate discipline to general history. Philafrenzy ( talk) 08:15, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Johnbod: If there really is neglect in administering the non-diffusion and it's at odds with the rest of the scheme, then it seems like just taking out the non-diffusing tags is the solution. Do you want to call an RFC? ― Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 16:40, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi Koavf, can you explain why you are adding parent categories to articles which already have a subcategory of the parent? Normally this is not done (except in the case of non-diffusing subcategories), and in fact other editors go around removing the parent categories whenever a subcategory is present, so I'd like to hear why you are doing that. I'd also like to get BrownHairedGirl's take on this as well. Softlavender ( talk) 08:19, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Same question, is there some good reason why Paul Robeson needs to be in the parent (American male singers) and the child (African-American male singers) and various siblings? Pincrete ( talk) 18:08, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
I've noticed that your recent cat edits, where you have been adding articles to the parent cats of categories they're already in the sub of. At least of these cats are listed as container categories and aren't even supposed to have any articles in them. In addition, it's pretty redundant to have articles in both parent and subcategories. Unless there was already a discussion about this that I'm unaware of, I really think that you should stop this until we have a discussion because as I understand it, your edits seem to be going against the current policy.

Those player from Hong Kong represented Republic of China but not Taiwan nor Chinese Taipei, nor they did not have Republic of China (Taiwan) nationality after the constitution reform that defined de facto border of the country.

PRC only replaced Taiwan as the representative of "China" in 1971. China and the United Nations. It look like someone represented all Ireland team is not equal to Northern Irish. Matthew_hk t c 05:11, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
And the move discussion of namespace Taiwan and Republic of China ruined all. Before the last one, I was remember Taiwan was the namespace of Geography of Taiwan but now they just change it. The one China policy or China + Taiwan (diplomatic) policy of several countries as well as IOC membership are complex issue, but putting those player in Chinese Taipei international footballers , is wrong.

I don't understand why you have added American historians to people who are already in American art historians. Art history is a separate discipline to general history. Philafrenzy ( talk) 08:15, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Johnbod: If there really is neglect in administering the non-diffusion and it's at odds with the rest of the scheme, then it seems like just taking out the non-diffusing tags is the solution. Do you want to call an RFC? ― Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 16:40, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi Koavf, can you explain why you are adding parent categories to articles which already have a subcategory of the parent? Normally this is not done (except in the case of non-diffusing subcategories), and in fact other editors go around removing the parent categories whenever a subcategory is present, so I'd like to hear why you are doing that. I'd also like to get BrownHairedGirl's take on this as well. Softlavender ( talk) 08:19, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Same question, is there some good reason why Paul Robeson needs to be in the parent (American male singers) and the child (African-American male singers) and various siblings? Pincrete ( talk) 18:08, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
I've noticed that your recent cat edits, where you have been adding articles to the parent cats of categories they're already in the sub of. At least of these cats are listed as container categories and aren't even supposed to have any articles in them. In addition, it's pretty redundant to have articles in both parent and subcategories. Unless there was already a discussion about this that I'm unaware of, I really think that you should stop this until we have a discussion because as I understand it, your edits seem to be going against the current policy.

Okay. I'm happy that we were able to clear this up without it turning into an argument. JDDJS ( talk) 16:40, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
Please note that Category:Years of the 1st century in Africa (etc) is liable to be deleted as empty, following Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2017_July_29#Ancient_periods_by_continent. – Fayenatic London 20:17, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

...if you'd like any AWB help. I'm happy to hop in if need be - Lord knows I've made some beautiful category screwups in my day, too. :-) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 03:13, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Ser Amantio di Nicolao: Sounds great. ― Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 03:25, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
OK. I'm pretty sure all the work that needs doing on American actors is done. I'll take a look at some of the writers next...tomorrow maybe, or Saturday. Depends on when I get home tomorrow night. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 02:56, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
Those player from Hong Kong represented Republic of China but not Taiwan nor Chinese Taipei, nor they did not have Republic of China (Taiwan) nationality after the constitution reform that defined de facto border of the country. A cat Footballers from Republic of China should be created. Matthew_hk t c 05:06, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
PRC only replaced Taiwan as the representative of "China" in 1971. China and the United Nations. It look like someone represented all Ireland team is not equal to Northern Irish. Matthew_hk t c 05:11, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
And the move discussion of namespace Taiwan and Republic of China ruined all. Before the last one, I was remember Taiwan was the namespace of Geography of Taiwan but now they just change it. The one China policy or China + Taiwan (diplomatic) policy of several countries as well as IOC membership are complex issue, but putting those player in Chinese Taipei international footballers , is wrong.

Hey, I don't think we need both (e.g.): English footballers and English women's footballers. The second one is a subcat from the first, which makes the first not needed. And if you look at it, it is unnecessary. Kante4 ( talk) 05:14, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
