User talk:Anomalous+0

I'm used to working on a custom implementation of MediaWiki, so my Wikipedia skills are out of practice. Much thanks for cleaning up my contributions to the Cindy_Hyde-Smith article to meet WP standards! 2601:3CA:204:F860:4DEB:52C8:7CB0:F598 (talk) 23:26, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anomalous+0 - I see you added Category:Monuments and memorials in the United States to the John F. Kennedy memorial category. About a quarter of the monuments listed are outside the US - is it an appropriate parent? Grutness...wha? 00:00, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Grutness: Huh, good question. I had indeed spotted half a dozen that were outside the US, and I didn't think that was a problem. After reading your note, I just had another look and found some more that I had missed. By my count, 12 out of 59 (about a fifth) are outside the US. If it was much more I suppose I'd need to reconsider -- but I'm inclined to leave it, as much as anything because it was rather shocking not to find a JFK category listed among the many sub-cats of Category:Monuments and memorials in the United States, if you see what I mean. I guess we could consider creating a US sub-cat of Category:Memorials to John F. Kennedy, but that seems kind of excessive, don't you think? (PS - sorry for the delay in replying) Anomalous+0 (talk) 09:09, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If a memorial is located outside the US then it does not belong into a US category. Categorisation has to be correct. Schwede66 15:36, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Schwede66 is right. The best solution might be a Category:Monuments and memorials to John F. Kennedy in the United States subcat it is a bit excessive, perhaps, but there are so many memorials to him, and there are probably quite a few more which still don't have articles yet - it my well be justifiable in this case. Grutness...wha? 00:45, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell, let's just go for it and set up that sub-cat. Seriously, I was just having a hard time wrapping my head around it....(LOL) Anomalous+0 (talk) 23:58, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done :) Grutness...wha? 10:19, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Category:Nazi Germany by year, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. Thank you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:35, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@BrownHairedGirl: Whoops. I had every intention of creating the category, but encountered a number of computer-related problems & got completely sidetracked -- and never did create it. (Didn't see your note 'til just now - sorry.) Anomalous+0 (talk) 02:23, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, A+O.

In any case I am unclear why we would want a Category:History of Nazi Germany. That Nazi era in Germany ended 74 years ago, so AFAICS the whole of Category:Nazi Germany would belong in a Category:History of Nazi Germany, and that would be a pointless circle. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:36, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit, you said the reason for the move is to achieve symmetry with Group action (sociology). But a result of your page move was that Group action became a redirect page whose target was Group action (mathematics). That is a lack of symmetry. Only if Group action were a disambiguation page with links to both Group action (mathematics) and Group action (sociology) would there be symmetry. Michael Hardy (talk) 17:27, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for kindly pointing that out. You're quite right about the "lack of symmetry" (LOL). I've gone ahead and remedied the oversight. Anomalous+0 (talk) 00:19, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After closure of Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_March_26#Category:Sexuality_books as no consensus, please provide new thoughts on how to proceed. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:00, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll come back to this in the near future. Anomalous+0 (talk) 23:47, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"To ignore that is to compound the crime": that is exactly how I feel about it. Thanks for your help. I hope that editor doesn't just dismiss this as some match that they lost, but rather that they think on it a little bit. Drmies (talk) 21:43, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anisotropy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Composite (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

I really like the song We Will All Go Together When We Go and think there should be an article about the song. However, I can't see needing more than a very small quote from it. I had to delete the lyrics; it was too much of the song and really should not have been entered into the encyclopedia. Jacqke (talk) 02:09, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, Jacqke. Yup, it definitely needs an overhaul. I'll see what I can do. Best, Anomalous+0 (talk) 08:17, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Calling our most basic policy of providing references "pure b.s. is not helpful. Please provide a more convincing defense of the article. Like, ... supplying references, maybe? Staszek Lem (talk) 01:41, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Help copy edit for article. Thanks you. 58.187.77.36 (talk) 09:31, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
