Hello Smasongarrison:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of eldest sons of earls in the peerages of Britain and Ireland is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of eldest sons of earls in the peerages of Britain and Ireland until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

I am pretty sure these categories should upmerge to the category for the canton if they are upmerged, not to the category for the city. Thry are essentially misplaced at present.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:46, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I work for Ralph Snyderman. I am reaching out to you because I saw that you're interested in medicine, and have made edits to the pages of some of the faculty members of Duke University. I posted an edit request at Talk:Ralph Snyderman to improve the lead. I would love your help in implementing the edit if it looks good to you.

So how death categories work ? Please explain. Frenchl (talk) 23:54, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that Deaths in FOO is only a containerized category. "while the place of a person's birth may seem significant from the perspective of local studies, is rarely defining from the perspective of the individual. The place of death is not normally categorized" (WP:OCLOCATION) People only get categorized into specific causes of death categories Mason (talk) 00:03, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

So I wanted to get your opinion on something. As I mentioned somewhere else, the categories in Category:American Jews by state or territory were already present when I came across them. The names of the subcategories, however, the category, are not consistant with the names in Category:American Christians by state. It should be "Jews by *state name*", I believe, as it it is Category:Catholics from California or Category:Methodists from Tennessee (Note: parent categories are Category:American Catholics by state and Category:American Methodists by state or territory, respectively, so this move would make sense).

I wanted to get your opinion on this first, though, before I add it to full Cfd. Thank you. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:52, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

good instinct! So clearly there's inconsistency between the categories. I think that it's definitely worth bringing it to cfd. You can check to see if there are other Jews by country subvision categories, in case there's a pattern outside the us. A cfd is great for getting the thoughts of the community as it is possible that there's a good reason for the difference. (But it's very likely that there's no good reason) Mason (talk) 14:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did check but I haven't found any equivalent as such. I believe that only America has divisions by states. So I'm going by the formatting in Category:American Christians. Omnis Scientia (talk) 15:17, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Frenchl (talk) 21:26, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
