Hi again! I see you add LGBT-related categories to biographies of living people, which is great, except sometimes the entry's prose does not actually confirm the subject's sexual preference or gender identity. Sure, we can assume most drag queens are LGBT, but this is not always the case. Part of me thinks this is no big deal, but part of me thinks we should not be adding LGBT-related categories unless sources and an article's prose warrant category inclusion. Curious if you have any thoughts. Thanks! ---[[User:Another Believer|<span style="color:navy">Another Believer</span>]] <sub>([[User talk:Another Believer|<span style="color:#C60">Talk</span>]])</sub> 14:30, 13 November 2023 (UTC) |

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

Bearcat,
Please link me to this wikipedia elections policy in which you discussed on my talk page.
Thanks!

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

Many new red-linked categories as part of WP "members" to "participants" moves
Just FYI, a few editors are making changes to userboxes and other pages that are resulting in many pages being in red-linked categories. This large project is the result of this CFD and is likely to include well over 1,000 categories. Category moves are in progress. If you want to help, my understanding is that the right thing to do when you find a red-linked category is to move the "members" category to its corresponding "participants" name. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:18, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
- This userbox which is really popular will need changed as well.

Help needed
Hello! I hope you are doing well. You have been recommended to me by another editor, so I'm reaching out for help. I've been adding some stuff on Wikipedia about coercive control, domestic violence and law (especially Canadian law), but one user has been systematically undoing all my work since May, without ever suggesting any edits or explaining himself. I feel stalked, suspect the editor just personally doesn't agree with the material, and am not sure what to do about this since I'm new to Wikipedia. Thanks in advance!

Categories on country and genre
Hello, I’ve seen on your edit summaries that it is essential for me to add categories about the country and genre on the film articles I created. It’s been noted and I will keep that in mind in the future. I apologize for forgetting to add these categories.

Categories on userfied articles
When dealing with categories like this, it's better to comment them out rather than delete them so they are more easily restored once the article is ready to be moved back to mainspace. Having to hunt through the article history to find them can take a while, especially if a lot of work has been done to the article since the cats were removed. Thanks! ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:21, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- Firstly, the categories that people file userpages in aren't always good ones: I frequently find userpages "filed" in redlinked categories that don't exist at all, or duplicate categories (e.g. just today I came across one that had been simultaneously filed in "[Country] volleyball players", "Volleyball players" and "Volleyball") that a page shouldn't be left in, or other categories that would be inappropriate or incorrect even if the page were actually in mainspace — but I can't just leave bad categories on a page if that would just create future work to clean them up again if and when the page returns to mainspace, so I would have to spend several minutes on each page to investigate whether all of its categories were correct ones or not in order to determine which ones to keep and which ones to strip, because
- Secondly, the polluted category reports only run twice a week, which means by the time a new report runs I have hundreds of draft and user pages that have to be cleaned out all at once, because they have to be all cleaned out by the time the next report runs or else the size of the job will be even worse next time. So it's a job that already takes me a few hours as it is in the best case scenario, and would end up becoming a full-day project if I had to double or triple or quintuple the amount of time I spend on each individual page. I have to be able to get in and out of each page, fixing the problem and moving on, within no more than one minute per page maximum, and simply don't have the time to turn each individual page into a extended review of which categories are good and should just be disabled vs. which categories are bad and need to be removed, or an extended investigation of whether the page was previously a real article that got sandboxed after the fact, or was created in sandbox from the start.
- So if you want the page to have categories present on the page in disabled form from the start, you're totally free to do that — but since you're the creator/owner of pages in your own sandbox in the first place, it's your responsibility to be on top of disabling any categories you want there. You can't make it other people's responsibility to disable the categories for you, because those of us who clean up userpages in article categories have to deal with hundreds of such pages in one shot, and can't be expected to put more time into the job than the absolute quickest possible solution. Bearcat (talk) 17:56, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- I've moved the conversation back here to avoid any confusion. The article was userfied only a couple hours or so before you removed the categories and before I even had time to look at it after it was moved, so all the categories were legit. Taking a few extra seconds to glance at the history to see if it was just moved to userspace is not a huge burden. We're all volunteers here, and I've been doing things here nearly as long as you have. If you don't want to do it, that's fine, but you're removing of the categories before I even had time to review it after it was userfied makes more work for me (and anyone else you do that to). It would have taken only a few seconds more to be courteous. That's all I'm saying. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:33, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
