Category:Sheep Breeds and Goat Breeds
editPlease cease adding these categories for now, since they are not named correctly. We never capitalize anything other than the first letter of categories, so it should be Category:Sheep breeds instead. Thank you, Steven Walling (talk) 03:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
No content in Category:Sicilian Goat breeds
editHello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Sicilian Goat breeds, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Sicilian Goat breeds has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Sicilian Goat breeds, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Muff (chicken)
editWikipedia is not a dictionary. We don't add articles for every little piece of jargon. Lots of other animals have muffs or beards, so this should be added to the main Chicken article, not a separate stub to define a phrase like in a dictionary. Thank you, Steven Walling (talk) 02:22, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Animal breeds by country of origin
editThe category "Goat breeds by country of origin" is being depopulated for two reasons:
- It is not allowed to have categories which have only a handful of articles in them. Anything that doesn't have more than 10 or so articles in it is against custom and guideline on categories.
- A category specifically for goats (or any other animal) by country of origin is, in addition to being too small, redundant with the categories "Animal breeds originating in [insert country name]". General animal breeds by country of origin is a broader category and has existed for years. In the future, please use "Animal breeds originating in [insert country name]" instead of creating categories for each specific animal. Thank you, Steven Walling (talk) 04:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
The article Hasi Goat has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This goat breed fails Wikipedia's general notability guideline.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Neelix (talk) 18:51, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
editHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
