Not all promotions will apply of course. When you do this, there is no speculation. (Yes, I've moved this here, as to keep it all in one spot as stated in on my talk page.

Editor conflict
I have been adding more current photos I’ve taken of subjects and places in Sheboygan but User:Mrschimpf has reverted several of those edits, falsely claiming I’m some such of competitor in local media in Sheboygan which I don’t own any interests in media publishing in Sheboygan County. In one edit on Shoreline Metro, my photo of a bus in service was removed because he claimed permissions were questionable and the photo was posed. Then there is the challenge of updating the photo on Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Asher Heimermann (talk

Wikipedia elections policy
Bearcat,
Please link me to this wikipedia elections policy in which you discussed on my talk page.
Thanks!
Merry Christmas Bearcat
You declined this draft, but I made changes to it that I think solved the initial issue. If you could take another look and give me some feedback I would be appreciative. Thanks for your time. WUH34 (talk) 4:45, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
help with vandalism
Since November 16, 2022, a user who is not logged in, just identified by their IP address has been adding information to the San Antonio FC page that has no sources to back it up with. Specifically they are adding a player to the roster when there is no evidence on the internet, either by the club, league, or anywhere else that this transaction has occurred. I have undone the edit multiple times but they keep adding it back. Please assist.
1/13/23 - The vandalism is occurring again. Would you be able to ban the IP addresses that are adding the incorrect information? TYIA
Cfd
This one. One has reached 37. Can't you strike some of them so it can be closed? — Oculi (talk) 19:50, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
- Since when did closing a two-month old CFD discussion ever require waiting for me to do anything? It can already be closed as is, and nothing I can do could possibly make it happen any faster. Bearcat (talk) 20:51, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Categories on Userspace drafts
You stated, "even if you're disabling the categories, you're still not allowed to use categories that don't exist to be used". I was not aware of that guideline. There may be other items I should know. Please share that document and location. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 15:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 17:24, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment from a Talk page stalker: User:Mgreason, it would be an overstatement to say that redlink categories cannot be put into place and left at least temporarily. It makes sense when editing to try reasonable guesses for what categories may or should exist. If it were truly terrible and absolutely not ever to be allowed, then some bot program could be put in place to identify occurrences and block editors for the transgression.
- However, in my opinion and I think this is shared, if it turns out a category does not exist (shows as a redlink), it is more polite if the editor who put it in would take responsibility to browse about and find categories which do apply, rather than leaving that work to others. That way the responsible editor learns, too. For example, I have had to learn, and relearn, that category names for log buildings in the United States are usually not of form Category:Log buildings in Wyoming but rather are of form Category:Log buildings and structures in Wyoming. Also it is an option to create subcategories where needed, by editing the redlink (empty) category and putting in categories of higher level types, for example to create a category needed for the log buildings and structures in a U.S. state that does not yet have one.
- Hope this helps, --Doncram (talk,contribs) 11:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. That does seem like a reasonable interpretation.Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 19:43, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Your last edit here [4] WAS either vandalism or you are attempting to start an edit war. In an earlier exchange, you stated, "even if you're disabling the categories, you're still not allowed to use categories that don't exist to be used". All of the categories you removed were disabled, so what justification did you use? Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 13:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you. That does seem like a reasonable interpretation.Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 19:43, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
removal of categories
I saw an edit of yours removed categories in draft page Draft:Old Post Office Museum (Winnsboro, Louisiana), and I reverted that (and then made some other category modifications). FYI, I am aware that technically Draftspace articles are not supposed to be in active categories, but it is convenient when drafting articles to bop back and forth to articles in the categories. And there are bots which come by, within a few hours, to apply some template so that they are no longer active, so you don't need to. I don't mean to cause anyone stress or work, and I hope my editing has not bothered you.

Separation of German people + occupation cats
Apparently that comes from the German wikipedia - and the translation tool uses that scheme. I actually can see merit in it on theoretical grounds. Shyamal (talk) 15:13, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Mayors in China
Hi, you appear to have slipped a line re mayors from Lhasa at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2023_July_1#Mayors_of_cities_in_China. I have corrected the misposted entries.
Presumably you intended to nominate Category:Mayors of Lüda. I would be willing to process this speedily under C2B if you wish to nominate it with a link to the CFD. – Fayenatic London 21:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Added Categories to Categories
If a category isn't added to a category and should be, you can add them instead of putting them in "uncategorized." I'm sure there is enough of a backlog without adding to it. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 18:39, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
