Hello Tony, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. For ideas of what to put on your user page, see Wikipedia:User page.
If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button. You can regularly find new tips on the Community Portal. I look forward to reading your great articles and I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. :) Angel a. 14:07, May 24, 2004 (UTC)
When adding a category, make sure you add a tag so that it sorts alphabetically correctly.
For the article John Doe,
[[Category:XYZ]]
gets sorted under "J"
[[Category:XYZ|Doe, John]]
gets sorted under "D"
Curps 04:12, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I went over the list of your recent category additions, and I think they're all alphabetically sorted now (at least the astronomers and physicists).
One other thing, if the name has accented letters, then the sorting tag added to the Category should usually omit those accents, because in English an accented letter sorts the same as an unaccented letter.

Yes, the mathematicians need to be in surname order too. That's how real-life lists of names are ordered. It's a lot of work.
There's no way to simply automate it either. You can have a Chinese name like "Zhang Yuzhe" (file under Z), a Spanish name like "Josep Comas Sola" (file under C), names like "Galileo Galilei" and "Tycho Brahe" which are traditionally abbreviated to "Galileo" and "Tycho" (and sort accordingly), and so on. So each name has to be on a case-by-case basis.

Good afternoon. On Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Michelle Bass, you suggested that we should maintain the same standards and nominate all the unnotable participants from Big Brother (USA TV series). I think that's a great idea. If you nominate them, you will have my support. Biographies of living people are a troublesome area for our encyclopedia. They are very difficult to maintain in a way that stays NPOV, unambiguous and verifiable. I would much rather see minor celebrities mentioned as an aside in a main article. The endless breakouts just seem to have too much potential for abuse. Thanks for your thoughts. Rossami 16:04, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I don't know that this is the way "we're" going, but here are my thoughts on the matter: 1. Many of the date pages were getting unwieldy and hard to edit and access. 2. This is bound to get worse with time as more entries are made. 3. The year pages are easy to break up into months. 4. The day pages are harder to deal with, but I have been breaking them up as follows: earliest century-1899, 1900-1999, 2000-2099. This at least gives a little bit of a break, although eventually we will probably have to break them into smaller pieces, especially 1900-1999 births. 5. I have been making these changes as I touched each page, but I have no official status. I'm not an admin or anything, but I have been doing quite a bit of work on this. If there is a good reason, I could be convinced that this is not the best way to go. But I hope these changes won't be reversed without some discussion. Let me know what you think.

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
OR
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. – Ram-Man ( comment) ( talk)[[]] 15:31, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Hey TonyW, I'm just curious about why you removed Category:1990 births and Category:Living people in this edit and at a couple others. My impression was that Living people was included for BLP reasons. But I wanted to ask you, rather than just undoing, to see if there's something special in these cases. Thanks, — Politizer talk/ contribs 14:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Delinking dates is not an excuse for format changes. Please stop using that a guise to change formats, as you did here. Gene Nygaard ( talk) 07:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
My response from my talk page: Well, not under current rules, although there has been an RfC to this effect—still in progress, so why not have your say? Gene is in the right, although his tone could do with softening, couldn't it.
It's best to hit the mdy for the last category (and Canada). Then the raw formats that have been altered by your action are highlighted in red in the diff. If you then need to reverse your decision, simply hit "All dates to dmy" (or "mdy") above in the list. Save.
The aims are to (1) adhere to the rules, (2) not upset editors, and (3) make each article consistent in the main text.

Hello TonyW! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 779 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Spice girls: I note that you reinstated the autoformatting for the opening dates. Please note that this is now deprecated. See MOSNUM. Thanks. Tony (talk) 07:55, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Of course it was Britney; sorry to mislead. Please ping me again if you have any further queries on the issue. Tony (talk) 16:45, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
You're unlinking the dates, which is fine - but you also change the date format from mdy to dmy, and I don't see how's that warranted by WP:DATE - in fact, my understanding is that MOS specifically warns against this. GregorB ( talk) 19:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Hey TonyW, I'm just curious about why you removed Category:1990 births and Category:Living people in this edit and at a couple others. My impression was that Living people was included for BLP reasons. But I wanted to ask you, rather than just undoing, to see if there's something special in these cases. Thanks, — Politizer talk/ contribs 14:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Ohhh, you are totally right! Sorry about that! I must have been doing too many things at once. — Politizer talk/ contribs 22:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Delinking dates is not an excuse for format changes. Please stop using that a guise to change formats, as you did here. Gene Nygaard ( talk) 07:45, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
My response from my talk page: Well, not under current rules, although there has been an RfC to this effect—still in progress, so why not have your say? Gene is in the right, although his tone could do with softening, couldn't it.
It's best to hit the mdy for the last category (and Canada). Then the raw formats that have been altered by your action are highlighted in red in the diff. If you then need to reverse your decision, simply hit "All dates to dmy" (or "mdy") above in the list. Save.
The aims are to (1) adhere to the rules, (2) not upset editors, and (3) make each article consistent in the main text.

Hello TonyW! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.

Hello TonyW!
I am looking for an experienced Wikipedian to contribute an article for our band Mr. Meeble. I have checked and we meet the Wikipedia "notability" guidelines for a band. We have a very basic Wikipedia article written already, but I know that someone like yourself may be able to point out our formatting errors and critical omissions. You can hear our music and see our videos here:
