		The Categorisation Barnstar
		What a fantastic surprise to wake up to new categories on so many articles I started! Thank you – and I'll try my best to improve my categorization skills and pay it forward ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 17:22, 26 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

On 12 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Right to sit, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that workers have the right to sit in some jurisdictions? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Right to sit. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Right to sit), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello there, I began a new draft, Draft: Antisemitism in Mexico, after seeing the idea on your page. I would really appreciate your input on the page, as you've written a lot about Jewish topics, and have made many "Antisemitism in..." pages.

On 13 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jewish tartan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The two aren't interchangeable. For one thing, RS do not use the two terms interchangeably, almost exclusively preferring "pro-Israel". The redirect should be corrected, perhaps to reflect to Israel lobby or something to that effect, to reflect the differentiation, and to comply with WP:COMMONNAME. Longhornsg (talk) 06:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Longhornsg Thanks for the comment. I'm not seeing the distinction, but it is a discussion worth having, as both terms appear frequently in print. I would recommend a broader community discussion over this before the redirect is charged, to invite other perspectives. Perhaps the distinction between "Zionist" and "pro-Zionist" can also be poked at. My main caution is that we must be vigilant to not endorse a view which construes Zionism and Zionists as automatically Jewish and "pro-Zionists" and being "pro-Israel" as automatically non-Jewish, as that would be inaccurate and in my view antisemitic. Perhaps some people use "pro-Israel" because they might perceive "Zionist" as having a more negative connotation. Why proud Zionists wouldn't champion the term, I don't know. Maybe as PR. Is there scholarly discussion about these terminological distinctions? Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 08:06, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Tunisian people of Bosniak descent indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, 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!} 22:22, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, Bohemian Baltimore,

I thought I'd let you know that this category has been tagged for speedy deletion. But the way it was tagged, I guessed you would not have received a notification about it. I think it would be worth a minute of your time to go see the deletion rationale accompanying the tagging to consider whether or not this category is appropriate for the project. Thank you.

If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Really appreciated finding this page. I am a scholar in Vermont that works with Abenaki and other scholars specifically on this issue. Would love to collaborate / share info / support this page but have never been on the back end of Wikipedia Mr. Scholaris Vulgaris (talk) 18:07, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Donald Edmond Pelotte. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Cabayi (talk) 11:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Cabayi Thanks. I left a message on the talk page. The IP user has continued to edit and has not responded. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 20:54, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. I have alerted the offended party to the discussion. Cabayi (talk) 22:21, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Almost every article I've spot-checked so far is a blatant WP:NOTDIR violation. Do you honestly suppose other editors are going to come along and fill in that content? Based on past experience, it's highly doubtful that will happen anytime soon. Also, almost all of the accompanying categories run afoul of WP:CATDEF; as such, they also run afoul of WP:EPON. Let me know what help you require in straightening that out before someone comes along and nominates it all for deletion. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 23:03, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@RadioKAOS These are federally recognized tribes. I think your tone is unnecessarily scornful. What makes you think I'm not going to add more to the articles, or haven't already? Almost all of them were created recently. Over the last few months, I've begun to create and add more information on Alaska Native tribes. Previously, I've edited and created articles on Native American tribes in the contiguous USA for the last several years. I'll try to add more to the existing articles on federally recognized tribes before I create any more. Take care. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 01:01, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:American people who self-identify as being of Lipan Apache descent requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hey there. I thought you might like to take a look at the CFD discussion that is under way. I initially refrained from inviting your participation, but after further reflection, I feel that you should be afforded the opportunity to share your views, given how closely related this category is to Category:Native Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area, which you created a few years back. Although I surmise that Category:Native American people from the San Francisco Bay Area (which I created) must have escaped your notice at the time! :) Regards, Anomalous+0 (talk) 00:58, 3 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
