Last Extension School categories

Hey there! So I did a quick search and found two other similar categories which I think you should nominate. Category:La Salle Extension University alumni and Category:Harvard Extension School faculty. I think we can allow the faculty category because teaching there can be considered defining but I will leave that up to you. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:34, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Great find! I'll add La Salle to the nom. I'm on the fence about faculty for the reason you noted. Maybe have that as a followup nom depending on how this nom pans out. Mason (talk) 23:47, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Good idea! I'm on the fence about it myself so I agree that we should wait for the alumni one to close before proceeding with the faculty one. Omnis Scientia (talk) 23:52, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Phonologists

The Spanksh phonological Category has 1 article. A few others are also under 5. I think if we are going to rename them we probably should also upmerge the small ones.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:35, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Database reports/Orphaned talk pages

Hello, Mason,

For some reason, you are creating talk pages for categories that have been deleted. These categories have already been deleted and so they don't need talk pages which just have to be deleted a second time. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know! I'll dig into this to figure out how that happened... weird. Thanks! Mason (talk) 13:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Notice

I noticed That you worked on some of the articles which I created and therefore I want to Thank you. Another thing I saw your picture on google and I must admit you are very pretty. Tony the Marine (talk) 22:01, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks :) Mason (talk) 22:09, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Emmeline M. D. Woolley

Thanks for your interest in this Australian woman pianist. I hesitate to revert your categories as Woolley was a British subject, but she grew up and made her name in Australia. Would an artist in America pre-1770 be categorized as British? I don't know. I refrain from creating a new parent category during the current Category discussions. Cheers, Doug butler (talk) 23:54, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

I added the category based on fact that the lead says she was an "English-born Australian pianist", my interpretation is that she'd be in both the Australian version of the category and the English version (and that she'd be in the British category if an english verison didn't exist.) My general impression is that someone who's defined as being an american before 1770 would still be categorized as an American, but that's not the same thing as what's happening here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:21st-century Sudanese engineers

A tag has been placed on Category:21st-century Sudanese engineers 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!} 15:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Mistaken edit, please undo

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:British_Christian_universalists&diff=next&oldid=828660220 Univeralism is not a denomination. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:42, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

The highest order parent category classifies Universalism as a denomination. If it's not a denomination, then what is it? 2600:1700:944:9810:508:ABE8:D33:5842 (talk) 18:47, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Just a broad movement. There has been the Universalist Church of America, which was explicitly a denomination, but needless to say, no 13th century Britons belong to it. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:56, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

That's a fair point.... I was basing it off of the fact that the higher level categories place it with other denominations, and that's been a stable edit since 2016[1]. Perhaps a better solution would be to bring the parent category to a CFD to get some wisdom on how the Universalism should be handled more broadly. Mason (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

100% sensible. Are you going to post to CfD? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:59, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Would you? I'm a little fried from a long day of prepping for a conference next week, and you seem to have a much clearer grasp of some of the nuances of Universalism. Mason (talk) 22:04, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Gotcha. Get some rest, comrade. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
