Categories

[edit]

Please don't add categories to biography articles unless the category is fully supported by reliable sources within the article and the category is considered a defining characteristic of the individual. Category:People with developmental coordination disorder, which you created, was previously deleted per community consensus.-- Ponyobons mots 19:22, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a clear example of double standards because many of the people in the list were added to categories relating to different disabilities that were given the same amount of significance if not less. I proposed in the talk page that it get reinstated, you can read my full reasoning here. UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 20:15, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I accidentally reinstated it, this wasn't a dig at you I just accidentally put my thoughts in the main page rather than the talk page. I'm new with Wikipedia but the rationale given just doesn't make sense. UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 20:28, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As for Toyah Willcox, the source given is her giving an interview in which she says she is dyspraxic, and is good enough that it is on the Developmental Coordination Disorder page (except that was on Spotify rather than YouTube). Why are you calling it poorly sourced? UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 20:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've responded on the corresponding category talk page you created (thank you for that).-- Ponyobons mots 21:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:People with developmental coordination disorder indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, 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! 22:40, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ugandan transgender women

[edit]

Please populate the categories you create with more than one person. If you can't get enough people, then the category doesn't need to be made yet. SMasonGarrison 16:50, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I can't find any other Ugandan trans women with Wikipedia articles so I have taken Cleopatra Kambugu Kentaro out of the Ugandan transgender women category and into the Ugandan transgender people, Ugandan LGBTQ women, and transgender women categories. It is my understanding that an empty category will be deleted, but I don't know how to delete it or if I even have the power to delete it. UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 21:11, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I propose adding a transgender women activists category. There are many people in the transgender women category who are not listed in a subcategory, and many of them are activists. I created more nationality subcategories to reduce the number of articles in that category rather than in a subcategory but maybe instead creating a subcategory for transgender women activists would be a better solution. Or maybe it isn't a problem at all that needs a solution. UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 21:26, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
please slow down, and review how WP:categorization works before making more categories. SMasonGarrison 22:43, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Re: 21st-century anarchists

[edit]

Hey there, thanks for creating the category for 21st-century anarchists and populating it, it's coming along quite nicely! I just wanted to ask you take a bit more care with adding certain articles to it, as I've had to revert a few that I did not think fit into the category (i.e. people who died in the early-21st century and whose main association with anarchism was in the 20th century). I think this category makes sense for people whose involvement with anarchism has taken place in the 21st century, but I don't think every 20th-century anarchist who happened to still be alive in the 21st century should be included, if that makes sense. --Grnrchst (talk) 17:39, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair enough, I was wondering whether or not I should have added some of them to the list but there's so many people to add that I decided to first add anyone who was alive in the 21st century to save time and flesh the list out quicker, and then later check back on the ones who died early in the 21st century to see if they actually contributed anything noteworthy to anarchism during the 21st century. Now that the category has become more fleshed out I will take your advice and pay more attention to this. UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 17:44, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good to hear, thanks! --Grnrchst (talk) 18:34, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

World Population Review is not reliable

[edit]

You recently cited World Population Review here. It is self-published, so is not a reliable source. It has been discussed several times before at the reliable sources noticeboard:

Please do not cite it. If something on the site is true, there must be a better source for it. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:48, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into it tomorrow to see if there's a better source, and if not I'm fine with removing it. What's more important to me is that it doesn't get reverted back to the misleading 79% statistic, as has happened before when someone took issue with a different source I used from 2013 being too old. I would rather there be no statistic because at least that wouldn't be misleading anyone. UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 01:55, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tithi Bhattacharya, a link pointing to the disambiguation page Salon was added. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Note about book summaries

[edit]

Hello! Thank you for creating several new book articles. In general they're really great, but I wanted to raise a concern I noticed while reviewing some of them at New Page Patrol: it looks like the synopses are being taken too closely from the Kirkus reviews. You may not be aware of this, but a close paraphrase of the source material can still be a copyright violation even if you do some rewording and reorganizing. It's clear you're also contributing some of your own writing to the synopses, but overall I think they are still "too close", and Wikipedia can't host copyright violations. It would be wonder if you could revisit some of those articles to write fresh synopses. It might help to be combining information from multiple book reviews, with a focus on distilling just the "who, what, where, why, when" and putting everything in chronological order, as a way to avoid re-creating their sentence structures. (Also, if you've ready any of the books, it would be GREAT if you could explain how they end!!) Let me know if you have any questions, and again, thanks for filling in some of Wikipedia's gaps for book articles! ~ le 🌸 valyn (talk) 21:29, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, this might take a while but I'll try to work on this in the next few days! Thank you! Unfortunately I haven't read any of these books except for Over and Under the Snow, so I don't know how they end. I may try reading some of the shorter books, but there are so many that I don't have time to read them all. I agree that it would be good for the articles to contain information on the endings, and I welcome anyone who has read them to add this information, but I think it's better for an article to be incomplete than to be nonexistent so I created them anyway. UsernamesArePublic.Unfortunately. (talk) 22:01, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
