Hi. I'm writing to users who have used the "coordinates missing" template in the last year. Could you please use the standard template "coord missing" instead? While the "coordinates missing" template is a redirect to the "coord missing" template, and thus works fine in articles, using "coord missing" directly makes a number of automated bot workflows work better by eliminating the overhead of having to track down the uses of "coordinates missing" to eliminate the redirects. Thanks, -- The Anome (talk) 12:28, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
StubseditHallo, Please don't add stub categories directly as you did to Schloss Waldenburg, but add a stub template (eg {{BadenWurttemberg-struct-stub}}. The template adds the displayed message as well as categorising the article. I've fixed this one. Thanks. PamD 17:19, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Sorting Criteria in Template:Castles in Baden-WürttembergeditHave you seen my comment in: Template_talk:Castles_in_Baden-Württemberg? Would you care to give your opinion there? --Wuselig (talk) 23:45, 5 March 2016 (UTC) Thank you!editThank you for my medal! It's nice to know that my efforts are helpful to others. Good luck with Operation Stuttgart. We enjoyed our visit there several years ago.Jllm06 (talk) 20:48, 28 July 2016 (UTC) BarnstareditThank you for the barnstar. I never expected one for my minor edits, however numerous. It was quite a surprise (a good one). Best of luck in your editing and all your pursuits. Finetooth (talk) 03:05, 30 September 2016 (UTC) Hi Vami IV. I appreciate your enthusiasm with the article, but it's a long-standing practice that unfinished ships don't warrant articles, since there isn't all that much that can be said about them (though there are exceptions like Japanese battleship Tosa). This is an example of just about the best I could do on SMS Sachsen (1916) - sure, it looks like a halfway decent article, but it's about 90% boilerplate text, with only a couple of sentences about the ship itself. That material is better covered in the main class article, rather than needlessly duplicating text. If the ships had been expended in weapons tests or something like Tosa, then there would be justification for an article. But if the sum of the unique text is basically "the ship was laid down on X, launched on Y, and scrapped in Z", there really isn't a need for a separate article. Thanks, and let me know if there are any other projects I can help with. Parsecboy (talk) 12:19, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Palais Rohan, StrasbourgeditHello, Vami IV. Thank you for reviewing the GA-candidacy of this article. Let me be a bit more clear about the date 1871. In that year, the city of Strasbourg, which had been a French city since 1681, became a German city again. Until that date, the Palais had always belonged to French families or administrations - in 1870, it was a propriety of the Second French Empire. In 1871, it came under the administration of the German Empire and, for a time completely lost its status both as a palace and as a monument to French art and governance. So this date is indeed a significant turn in the history of the Palais. Regards, --Edelseider (talk) 07:45, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
Malleus MaleficarumeditThank you for commenting on the Malleus Maleficarum article. The best way to help improve the article is by reverting Asterix's nonsense back to a more balanced version which has both sides represented. I tried to restore some balance in my last edit today. The main difficulty is that Asterix sits online all day reverting any changes while stuffing the article with more dubious authors, which made it impossible for me alone to win the revert war that he wanted to fight. Multiple people could finally make headway against him (but keep in mind the 3RR rule, of course, and report him if he violates it himself). Ryn78 (talk) 05:20, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
Also:  This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Thanks for the BarnstareditI appreciate your recognition of my efforts for Italian dioceses. I've done nearly all of the dioceses of Piedmont as well, and most of the French dioceses. Onward for Wikipedia! --Vicedomino (talk) 04:57, 1 November 2016 (UTC) Mary Lee and Catherine LeeeditHi - About your page move to "Lee sisters". That title is more "streamlined", as you say, but the authors are not known that way, so it wouldn't be helpful for anyone searching with WP search or Google. Page titles are usually meant to reflect normal usage, and "Lee sisters" is definitely not that. I suggest "Mary and Catherine Lee": a shorter title than before, but a phrase their publishers often used, and more helpful for someone looking for info on the authors. Lelijg (talk) 09:37, 2 November 2016 (UTC) Welcome!editWelcome aboard on the challenge, I've moved the Irish castle list into Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge though which is being run separately from the European one for maintenance purposes, not political haha.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:18, 3 November 2016 (UTC) Europe 10,000 Challenge inviteeditHi. 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) 21:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC) Assessing pageseditHi. Thanks for assessing Chitra Dansuputra. But when making such assessments, could you try to avoid changing template name calls from their full names into redirects? Someone using another automated tool might come by and change them back, causing unnecessary load. Also, what does the edit summary "Slaying Categories" mean? --Paul_012 (talk) 04:04, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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 in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Your edit summaries and your attitude to other editorseditPer your snotty, self-aggrandizing edit summaries, for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Korab&diff=prev&oldid=751343044 ("Please follow instructions when adding new articles for the love of God"), have a good read at Wikipedia:Don't be a dick. We all put our pants on and set to the task of writing articles long before you ever got here. Just edit and leave the banal commentary to yourself. Not everyone gives as much of a shit about the talkpage categories as you do, and they don't need you snapping at them. On that note, you have no business rating importance of articles for projects you do not belong to, and I have told you so when I have reverted you. You say that's your "project". Pick a new one. Shall I make it my project to go down the list of all your new edits and undo each time you've rated importance of articles for projects you do not belong to? I can be just as loud and obnoxious if you want me to. Try me. Finally, be very careful when you call people things like "git", as you did on my talkpage. I have been familiar with the term since before you were born, it is insulting and demeaning. If you act like that in person, don't be surprised when someone doesn't find it cutesy and you end up with a split lip.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:53, 26 November 2016 (UTC) SlayingeditLiving parameter: Might be worth pressing on through the alphabet to Z, then starting again from A. I say this because I can clear out certain new additions fairly quickly, so it's not worth your time to deal with those. I know it's nice to see A-M clear though! All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:43, 4 December 2016 (UTC). "Killing Categories"editPlease stop changing template names on talk pages such as {{WikiProject Women}} to redirects such as {{WP Women}}. There is no reason or justification for these changes. Thanks. PamD 00:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC) Stubs, etc.editHi, thanks for your message. Yes, I would be interested. My main focus is cleaning up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Biography_articles_without_living_parameter; as I'm doing that I find that a lot of them are not assessed. I also am working on adding or correcting birth and death categories to articles as well... --FeanorStar7 12:31, 29 December 2016 (UTC) Battle ships listeditHi Vami, there are still a couple of things needed on this list to reach BL, specifically inthe B1 area: there are somenotes on the talk page (at the bottom) and there are some notes on the assessment page. auntieruth (talk) 14:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC) |
