Hi All The Knowledge in the World. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.
If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. -- Hipal ( talk) 20:39, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to John Roseboro, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist ( talk) 12:00, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

For your information, citations on quote boxes should be at the end, especially where facts are being asserted in the source field that might be challenged. That way it is clear the entire box is being supported by a reference.
Please also be informed that edit summaries are recommended for all but relatively minor edits. I don't consider myself perfect in that department, but not using them at all makes it look like you don't want people to be aware of what you have done. Wehwalt ( talk) 20:20, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
Howdy. In case my edit summary is still too vague: Baseball Reference is a fine site, but there is a section of it that is constructed as an open-editing wiki. Those are noted the "BR Bullpen". You can read through the last discussion at WP:RSN here. That discussion also highlights prior discussions at WT:BASEBALL as well which may add more history. Let me know if any of that is unclear.

Hello! I will be reviewing the above article. A preliminary read through tells me that you have carried out a load of work on this: well done! All being well, we should complete the task in the not-too-distant future - but there is no deadline. As you may know, the process is recorded at: /info/en/?search=Talk:Mickey_Mantle/GA1 I must remember that the article is in American English and that you are at least five hours behind me. Please bear with me as we go through this important article to bring it back to GA standard. Any questions, go ahead and ask me on that Talk page. All the best Billsmith60 ( talk) 11:53, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Mickey Mantle you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Billsmith60 -- Billsmith60 ( talk) 12:04, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
I had noticed that the article erroneously stated that Koufax had invested in an electronics business without any substantiating information. I corrected the article to state that he had invested in an FM Radio Station and provided a link to the evidence (KNJO Thousand Oaks, CA). His business partner stated in the linked article was Sy Blonder - my father. While the article stated that KNJO began broadcasting in 1963, The station was built from scratch beginning in 1960. I was a child at the time but do recall meetings between my father and Sandy in those years. Please update the article with the information I have provided. Sblonder ( talk) 17:40, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
The article Mickey Mantle you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Mickey Mantle for comments about the article, and Talk:Mickey Mantle/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Greetings, Omnis Scientia.
In light of all the hard work you've been putting in on the Clemente article, I can't believe this is anything other than a good-faith misunderstanding, or mis-read (or, on my part, a failure to make a case clearly). In any event, for convenience sake, here is a side-by-side screenshot of my recently reverted changes—i.e. Early life & Personal life—alongside your previous version https://www.mediafire.com/view/guu3llg0eialm5p/Screenshot_2023-09-02_at_3.47.42_PM.jpg/file
It should be plain to see that I did not remove material but rather expanded the sections in question—and did so with material directly addressing his religious upbringing, regarding which there was nothing prior to my edit. As for Early life, what had been sentences 2 thru 4 of the 1st paragraph of a 3-para section simply became a paragraph unto itself in a 4-para section.
As for Personal life, I did remove the categorical—and, at best, wildly misleading–declaration, "He was a devout Catholic" (misleading because of his relatively well-documented Baptist upbringing), while retaining the cited William Doino article in order to support my sentence acknowledging the very real possibility of an official conversion by RC to Catholicism around the time of his marriage in November 1964.
As for the verifiable facts of the case (as I'd thought my edit made clear), Clemente's mother specifically states to RC's 1973 biographer Kal Wagenheim—who, btw, was fluent in Spanish—that not only had they raised RC as a Baptist, but that he enjoyed the experience (i.e "went to church and liked singing the hymns"), while acknowledging that "he married in the Catholic Church"—which, presumably, was done out of respect for—or in deference to—his Catholic fiancé and her family. And remember, this marriage did not take place until a few months after his 30th b'day.
Likewise, Clemente's 1998 biographer Bruce Markusen unambiguously states, "Although her youngest son would eventually marry in the Catholic church, the Baptist upbringing would help lay the groundwork for Roberto's strong sense of values." Moreover, the Manny Sanguillen quote cited by Wagenheim—in which Sanguillen, who did not come to the Pirates till '69, recalls that Roberto not only still "loved those hymns" but had actually told Manny he "felt Baptist"—does tend to make whatever conversion Clemente may have undergone seem a tad less than whole-hearted.
In fact, the only thing I can think of—and the more I think of it, the more I think this must be THE thing—that might lead one to believe Clemente was raised a Catholic is the aforementioned William Doino article cited in Personal life. Given his out-of-the-blue mention of a Father Alvin Gutierrez who "knew the Clementes well," one might reasonably infer that "Clementes" refers to RC's family of origin, and that Father G was a Puerto Rican whose acquaintance with said "Clementes" dated back to—or even well before—Roberto's birth. However, given the evidence I've already cited, I assumed this was not the case; but just to be certain, I did a search for said priest, and, not surprisingly, Gutierrez is a Pittsburgh guy: https://www.newspapers.com/image/141496516/?clipping_id=131114688 Thus, the only Clementes he would've known would be the family started by Vera & Roberto in Nov '64, an ever-expanding family he presumably saw in church on many regular-season Sundays from that point forward.
Okay, I think I've covered it all as best I can. And, just so you know, I don't do reverts (much less un-reverts), outside of a blatant case of vandalism—which this is obviously not. In any case, it's easy enough to recreate my edit at any point without reverting. But even that is something I would much prefer not do until I know we're on the same page. So, again, thanks for all the work you've done, and I look forward to hearing back from you. DavidESpeed ( talk) 04:02, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Omnis Scientia! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 19:18, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Just a quick reminder to be careful when you're moving people to a "by century" subcategory — I've come across two examples today alone where you typed "cenutry" instead of "century".
The typo obviously isn't a big deal itself — we all make 'em sometimes — but the problem is that if you leave the typo there and don't fix it, then the page is stuck sitting in a redlinked category that doesn't actually exist, and somebody else ends up having to come in and fix it for you. So when you're adding articles to categories, don't just walk away: check the page afterward to make sure that the category you've added is actually a blue link. If it's red because you made a typo in it, then you need to take a second to fix your own typo instead of making it other people's job to fix it for you.
Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 18:35, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

I think you are right that we should rename to People from the Soviet Union. I think calling people "Soviet" can have political implications. Especially since Soviet meant some other things. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:50, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello,
Do you see a warning notice, when attempting to create a category, in case it was previously deleted following a community discussion? I usually see such a notice with a pointer to the discussion left in comment by the deleting admin. I see that you recently created several categories that were previously deleted after conclusive CfDs, sometimes almost immediately after they concluded:
Note that pages (not just categories) created again after a deletion discussion, even with a slightly different name, are eligible to speedy deletion, under criterion WP:G4. They don't need a full discussion again.
You may very well understand how creating and discussing again and again the same pages and categories, in hope of a different result, is considered non-cooperative behaviour. The policy page WP:Gaming the system explains how this defeats the purpose of civil and cooperative editing that makes Wikipedia what it is. Place Clichy ( talk) 01:54, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I think you want to explain the ambiguity of Soviet in your nomination. Both how there were smaller Soviets that then become the Soviet Union, and how Soviet is often used more as a synonym of Communist than as a nationslity identifier. Explain that alone it has broad policy related implications, and we are not trying to include any of those in the category. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I am pretty sure pre-1867 we should only use "Canada" to refer to what was then called Canada. This is not currently the practice in articles. I found one article that said a person was born in Canada West, but they were really born in Rupert's Land. More often articles say the person was born in Canada in cases of births in New Brusnwick and Nova Scotia when they were not part of Canada. I think our categories currently place all places later in Canada under the heading of "pre-Confederstion Canada". I really think we need to scap this ahistorical naming. If the East Africsn Confederation happens, and they chose a name, will we then call things in current Tanzania and whatever else joins as "pre-X Confederstion Kenya" or what have you. So far I am only back to 1838, so I have not had to deal with too many issues. Except the fugitive slaves Category says "Canada", but what is really meant is British North America. Most went to either the Province of Canada or Upper Canada or Lower Canada before Feb 1841, but I do not think we mean to exclude the few who went to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Rupert's Land. Some would say "but what did Canada mean in common usage". That does not matter. In common usage in 1967 "Russia" meant "the Soviet Union" and "Russians" meant "people from the Soviet Union", but if you put an engineer from Kiev who lived 1925-1985 and never went to anywhere at the time considered Russia in a Russian Category people would rightly object. Common name should not be followed when it is just plain wrong. Calling someone in the Colony of New Brunswick "Canadian" is not quite that wrong. It is still more wrong than calling an ethnic Albanian person from Tirana who lived 1823-1901 "Turkish". That would be arguably what we would do if Wikipedia were created in 1902 and it was 1909.I have a pre-Balkan War World Atlas that has a map entitled "Turkey in Europe". However common name is tempted not just when it is wrong, but when it is confusing. Basically the only way to work categories is for Turkey to refer to the country created in 1923 and Turkish to refer to its nationals. People by ethnicity are called "Turks", and we use Ottoman Empire for the country that died at the end of 1922 and "from the Ottoman Empire" for its nationals. We do not call its nationals "Ottomans" which is worth bringing up in the Soviet discussion. The Ottomans were basically the ruling class of the Ottoman Empire. It would be similar if the Qing Emoire were called the "Manchu Empire" and we then tried to call all its residents "Manchus". I still think having "Qing Dynasty" categories which are meant to include all nationals of the Empire ruled by the Qing Dynasty is off, I think we should have "writers from the Qing Empire". Some would say "but the standard is to use X Dynasty as an adjective". Yes, but most often with artifacts, not people. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:07, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
The problem with "Spanish people in the colonial Philippines" is that after Spanish rule the Philippines were under American colonial rule until about 1946. I think actually British people in colonial India is misnamed, since what we want is British people living in British India, not those in Portuguese, French or other European colilonial Indias. We also of course want to make sure people who were expatriates in the Mughal Empire are not included. I think the intent is to intepret "British India" as both British East India company and direct Imperial rule, and to include those in princely states, but to exclude any cases of British expatriates in areas that were not yet under directvor indirect rule.

~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 15:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Hello Omnis Scientia, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Statue of Althea Gibson, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Statue of Althea Gibson.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. 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.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|TheLongTone}}

~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 17:06, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Hi there. I noticed you had filed for the category for the Italians of Croatia to move to Italian diaspora in Croatia. Please note that we had to revert this, because it doesn't match the reality described at Italians of Croatia. The use of the relatively strange phrasing with "of" was intentional, and should have been a hint that this is not a perhaps more conventional immigrant/emigrant situation. Perhaps that was too subtle, but still, when the article is linked through a {{ cat main}} or a {{ cat more}} template, I would still advise always reading it before proposing changes. Also, the same would apply to a lot of the other ethnic groups in Croatia. -- Joy ( talk) 13:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I have no objection to the outcome at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 December 21#Category:American tennis people by state, provided that any coaches etc who were removed were suitably categorised along the way.
However, I see that at least some of the target categories were newly created by yourself, whereas the old category pages ended up being deleted. This means that Wikipedia loses the attribution of the original pages. We try to avoid this where possible. I think it would have been preferable to nominate the original set for purge and rename from tennis people to tennis players. That way, the page history would have been preserved, and I think it would have been less work for you too.
Also, using the bot to merge from a parent to a sub-cat puts the category into itself; in this case DMacks seems to have done the necessary cleanup afterwards. It would have made for better processing to nominate for merging upwards rather than downwards.
Hope this helps! – Fayenatic London 11:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Omnis Scientia,
Please do not remove the CFD tag from categories unless it is decided to Keep them. If they are to be deleted, then there needs to be a link in the deletion log to the CFD discussion where it was determined that they should be deleted (or merged). If you just remove the CFD tag and they are empty, then they will be deleted after a week as an empty category (CSD C1). Empty categories can always be restored at any time upon request while categories that are deleted through a CFD discussion shouldn't be restored. If you have questions about how to fix up a CSD tag for categories marked for deletion through CFDs, then I suggest asking Marco or Mason who do this frequenty after they have emptied or merged a category when a CFD is closed. I've found them to be very helpful. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 22:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
You seem to be emptying this category while a discussion is ongoing at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 20#Category:Sportswriters. Please stop this action and restore the category in the articles until the discussion is closed. Tewapack ( talk) 17:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Howdy!
So I've noticed that quite a few categories that you close end up tagged by @ Liz: for empty speedy deletions, as opposed to just deleted. I'm not sure how the logistics of closing work, but this category history shows the typical order of operations. [6]. I think it might be helpful to leave the nomination up, until the category is processed. However, I'd love some wisdom from folks who do a lot of closings, like @ HouseBlaster and Qwerfjkl:. To see if there's a better ordering. (Also the decisions are very solid/reasonable! So nice job on that.) Mason ( talk) 20:51, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 16:42, 14 February 2024 (UTC)I want to ask you to allow me to edit the article according to MOS and based on conventions that I am familiar with. It will be appearing on the main page as an approved DYK but I may have to withdraw because it is not stable when you make so many changes. You are undoing to your preferred version and I am trying to follow MOS. for instance
MOS:BLOCKQUOTE says, It is conventional to precede a block quotation with an introductory sentence (or sentence fragment) and append the source citation to that line.
You have reverted it twice. And you have introduced grammatical errors by rewriting large portions of the article. You also prefer the article without attribution but that is not my preference. You have changed the name and scope of the article without discussion as well. So I want to appeal to you to allow me to restore MOS and allow the article to appear as it was approved.

Hi All The Knowledge in the World. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily in collaboration.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.
If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. -- Hipal ( talk) 20:39, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

For your information, citations on quote boxes should be at the end, especially where facts are being asserted in the source field that might be challenged. That way it is clear the entire box is being supported by a reference.
Please also be informed that edit summaries are recommended for all but relatively minor edits. I don't consider myself perfect in that department, but not using them at all makes it look like you don't want people to be aware of what you have done. Wehwalt ( talk) 20:20, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

All being well, we should complete the task in the not-too-distant future - but there is no deadline. As you may know, the process is recorded at: /info/en/?search=Talk:Mickey_Mantle/GA1 I must remember that the article is in American English and that you are at least five hours behind me.

I had noticed that the article erroneously stated that Koufax had invested in an electronics business without any substantiating information. I corrected the article to state that he had invested in an FM Radio Station and provided a link to the evidence (KNJO Thousand Oaks, CA). His business partner stated in the linked article was Sy Blonder - my father. While the article stated that KNJO began broadcasting in 1963, The station was built from scratch beginning in 1960. I was a child at the time but do recall meetings between my father and Sandy in those years. Please update the article with the information I have provided.

The article Mickey Mantle you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Mickey Mantle for comments about the article, and Talk:Mickey Mantle/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK.

Greetings, Omnis Scientia.
In light of all the hard work you've been putting in on the Clemente article, I can't believe this is anything other than a good-faith misunderstanding, or mis-read (or, on my part, a failure to make a case clearly). In any event, for convenience sake, here is a side-by-side screenshot of my recently reverted changes—i.e. Early life & Personal life—alongside your previous version https://www.mediafire.com/view/guu3llg0eialm5p/Screenshot_2023-09-02_at_3.47.42_PM.jpg/file
It should be plain to see that I did not remove material but rather expanded the sections in question—and did so with material directly addressing his religious upbringing, regarding which there was nothing prior to my edit. As for Early life, what had been sentences 2 thru 4 of the 1st paragraph of a 3-para section simply became a paragraph unto itself in a 4-para section.
As for Personal life, I did remove the categorical—and, at best, wildly misleading–declaration, "He was a devout Catholic" (misleading because of his relatively well-documented Baptist upbringing), while retaining the cited William Doino article in order to support my sentence acknowledging the very real possibility of an official conversion by RC to Catholicism around the time of his marriage in November 1964.
As for the verifiable facts of the case (as I'd thought my edit made clear), Clemente's mother specifically states to RC's 1973 biographer Kal Wagenheim—who, btw, was fluent in Spanish—that not only had they raised RC as a Baptist, but that he enjoyed the experience (i.e "went to church and liked singing the hymns"), while acknowledging that "he married in the Catholic Church"—which, presumably, was done out of respect for—or in deference to—his Catholic fiancé and her family. And remember, this marriage did not take place until a few months after his 30th b'day.
Likewise, Clemente's 1998 biographer Bruce Markusen unambiguously states, "Although her youngest son would eventually marry in the Catholic church, the Baptist upbringing would help lay the groundwork for Roberto's strong sense of values." Moreover, the Manny Sanguillen quote cited by Wagenheim—in which Sanguillen, who did not come to the Pirates till '69, recalls that Roberto not only still "loved those hymns" but had actually told Manny he "felt Baptist"—does tend to make whatever conversion Clemente may have undergone seem a tad less than whole-hearted.
In fact, the only thing I can think of—and the more I think of it, the more I think this must be THE thing—that might lead one to believe Clemente was raised a Catholic is the aforementioned William Doino article cited in Personal life. Given his out-of-the-blue mention of a Father Alvin Gutierrez who "knew the Clementes well," one might reasonably infer that "Clementes" refers to RC's family of origin, and that Father G was a Puerto Rican whose acquaintance with said "Clementes" dated back to—or even well before—Roberto's birth. However, given the evidence I've already cited, I assumed this was not the case; but just to be certain, I did a search for said priest, and, not surprisingly, Gutierrez is a Pittsburgh guy: https://www.newspapers.com/image/141496516/?clipping_id=131114688 Thus, the only Clementes he would've known would be the family started by Vera & Roberto in Nov '64, an ever-expanding family he presumably saw in church on many regular-season Sundays from that point forward.
Okay, I think I've covered it all as best I can. And, just so you know, I don't do reverts (much less un-reverts), outside of a blatant case of vandalism—which this is obviously not. In any case, it's easy enough to recreate my edit at any point without reverting. But even that is something I would much prefer not do until I know we're on the same page. So, again, thanks for all the work you've done, and I look forward to hearing back from you. DavidESpeed ( talk) 04:02, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Omnis Scientia! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 19:18, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Just a quick reminder to be careful when you're moving people to a "by century" subcategory — I've come across two examples today alone where you typed "cenutry" instead of "century".
The typo obviously isn't a big deal itself — we all make 'em sometimes — but the problem is that if you leave the typo there and don't fix it, then the page is stuck sitting in a redlinked category that doesn't actually exist, and somebody else ends up having to come in and fix it for you. So when you're adding articles to categories, don't just walk away: check the page afterward to make sure that the category you've added is actually a blue link. If it's red because you made a typo in it, then you need to take a second to fix your own typo instead of making it other people's job to fix it for you.
Thanks. Bearcat ( talk) 18:35, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Tennis players from Idaho indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:41, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

I think you are right that we should rename to People from the Soviet Union. I think calling people "Soviet" can have political implications. Especially since Soviet meant some other things. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:50, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Hello,
Do you see a warning notice, when attempting to create a category, in case it was previously deleted following a community discussion? I usually see such a notice with a pointer to the discussion left in comment by the deleting admin. I see that you recently created several categories that were previously deleted after conclusive CfDs, sometimes almost immediately after they concluded:
Note that pages (not just categories) created again after a deletion discussion, even with a slightly different name, are eligible to speedy deletion, under criterion WP:G4. They don't need a full discussion again.
You may very well understand how creating and discussing again and again the same pages and categories, in hope of a different result, is considered non-cooperative behaviour. The policy page WP:Gaming the system explains how this defeats the purpose of civil and cooperative editing that makes Wikipedia what it is. Place Clichy ( talk) 01:54, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I think you want to explain the ambiguity of Soviet in your nomination. Both how there were smaller Soviets that then become the Soviet Union, and how Soviet is often used more as a synonym of Communist than as a nationslity identifier. Explain that alone it has broad policy related implications, and we are not trying to include any of those in the category. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:12, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I am pretty sure pre-1867 we should only use "Canada" to refer to what was then called Canada. This is not currently the practice in articles. I found one article that said a person was born in Canada West, but they were really born in Rupert's Land. More often articles say the person was born in Canada in cases of births in New Brusnwick and Nova Scotia when they were not part of Canada. I think our categories currently place all places later in Canada under the heading of "pre-Confederstion Canada". I really think we need to scap this ahistorical naming. If the East Africsn Confederation happens, and they chose a name, will we then call things in current Tanzania and whatever else joins as "pre-X Confederstion Kenya" or what have you. So far I am only back to 1838, so I have not had to deal with too many issues. Except the fugitive slaves Category says "Canada", but what is really meant is British North America. Most went to either the Province of Canada or Upper Canada or Lower Canada before Feb 1841, but I do not think we mean to exclude the few who went to New Brunswick, Nova Scotia or Rupert's Land. Some would say "but what did Canada mean in common usage". That does not matter. In common usage in 1967 "Russia" meant "the Soviet Union" and "Russians" meant "people from the Soviet Union", but if you put an engineer from Kiev who lived 1925-1985 and never went to anywhere at the time considered Russia in a Russian Category people would rightly object. Common name should not be followed when it is just plain wrong. Calling someone in the Colony of New Brunswick "Canadian" is not quite that wrong. It is still more wrong than calling an ethnic Albanian person from Tirana who lived 1823-1901 "Turkish". That would be arguably what we would do if Wikipedia were created in 1902 and it was 1909.I have a pre-Balkan War World Atlas that has a map entitled "Turkey in Europe". However common name is tempted not just when it is wrong, but when it is confusing. Basically the only way to work categories is for Turkey to refer to the country created in 1923 and Turkish to refer to its nationals. People by ethnicity are called "Turks", and we use Ottoman Empire for the country that died at the end of 1922 and "from the Ottoman Empire" for its nationals. We do not call its nationals "Ottomans" which is worth bringing up in the Soviet discussion. The Ottomans were basically the ruling class of the Ottoman Empire. It would be similar if the Qing Emoire were called the "Manchu Empire" and we then tried to call all its residents "Manchus". I still think having "Qing Dynasty" categories which are meant to include all nationals of the Empire ruled by the Qing Dynasty is off, I think we should have "writers from the Qing Empire". Some would say "but the standard is to use X Dynasty as an adjective". Yes, but most often with artifacts, not people. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 03:07, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
The problem with "Spanish people in the colonial Philippines" is that after Spanish rule the Philippines were under American colonial rule until about 1946. I think actually British people in colonial India is misnamed, since what we want is British people living in British India, not those in Portuguese, French or other European colilonial Indias. We also of course want to make sure people who were expatriates in the Mughal Empire are not included. I think the intent is to intepret "British India" as both British East India company and direct Imperial rule, and to include those in princely states, but to exclude any cases of British expatriates in areas that were not yet under directvor indirect rule.

I was going to respond in the statue RM discussion but it was closed. Anyway, starting the RM discussion for Louisville is entirely up to you. But if you do it, I recommend coming prepared, unlike what happened in the previous attempt. Not only does there need to be strong reasons in favor (and I think there are), but also we're fighting a seemingly settled guideline where the AP choice is strictly followed. It's an uphill push.

~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 15:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Hello Omnis Scientia, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Statue of Althea Gibson, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Statue of Althea Gibson.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. 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.

~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 17:06, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Hi there. I noticed you had filed for the category for the Italians of Croatia to move to Italian diaspora in Croatia. Please note that we had to revert this, because it doesn't match the reality described at Italians of Croatia. The use of the relatively strange phrasing with "of" was intentional, and should have been a hint that this is not a perhaps more conventional immigrant/emigrant situation. Perhaps that was too subtle, but still, when the article is linked through a {{ cat main}} or a {{ cat more}} template, I would still advise always reading it before proposing changes. Also, the same would apply to a lot of the other ethnic groups in Croatia. -- Joy ( talk) 13:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I have no objection to the outcome at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 December 21#Category:American tennis people by state, provided that any coaches etc who were removed were suitably categorised along the way.
However, I see that at least some of the target categories were newly created by yourself, whereas the old category pages ended up being deleted. This means that Wikipedia loses the attribution of the original pages. We try to avoid this where possible. I think it would have been preferable to nominate the original set for purge and rename from tennis people to tennis players. That way, the page history would have been preserved, and I think it would have been less work for you too.
Also, using the bot to merge from a parent to a sub-cat puts the category into itself; in this case DMacks seems to have done the necessary cleanup afterwards. It would have made for better processing to nominate for merging upwards rather than downwards.
Hope this helps! – Fayenatic London 11:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Omnis Scientia,
Please do not remove the CFD tag from categories unless it is decided to Keep them. If they are to be deleted, then there needs to be a link in the deletion log to the CFD discussion where it was determined that they should be deleted (or merged). If you just remove the CFD tag and they are empty, then they will be deleted after a week as an empty category (CSD C1). Empty categories can always be restored at any time upon request while categories that are deleted through a CFD discussion shouldn't be restored. If you have questions about how to fix up a CSD tag for categories marked for deletion through CFDs, then I suggest asking Marco or Mason who do this frequenty after they have emptied or merged a category when a CFD is closed. I've found them to be very helpful. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 22:09, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
You seem to be emptying this category while a discussion is ongoing at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 20#Category:Sportswriters. Please stop this action and restore the category in the articles until the discussion is closed. Tewapack ( talk) 17:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
Howdy!
So I've noticed that quite a few categories that you close end up tagged by @ Liz: for empty speedy deletions, as opposed to just deleted. I'm not sure how the logistics of closing work, but this category history shows the typical order of operations. [6]. I think it might be helpful to leave the nomination up, until the category is processed. However, I'd love some wisdom from folks who do a lot of closings, like @ HouseBlaster and Qwerfjkl:. To see if there's a better ordering. (Also the decisions are very solid/reasonable! So nice job on that.) Mason ( talk) 20:51, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

~WikiOriginal-9~ ( talk) 16:42, 14 February 2024 (UTC)I want to ask you to allow me to edit the article according to MOS and based on conventions that I am familiar with. It will be appearing on the main page as an approved DYK but I may have to withdraw because it is not stable when you make so many changes. You are undoing to your preferred version and I am trying to follow MOS. for instance
MOS:BLOCKQUOTE says, It is conventional to precede a block quotation with an introductory sentence (or sentence fragment) and append the source citation to that line.
You have reverted it twice. And you have introduced grammatical errors by rewriting large portions of the article. You also prefer the article without attribution but that is not my preference. You have changed the name and scope of the article without discussion as well. So I want to appeal to you to allow me to restore MOS and allow the article to appear as it was approved.
