Category:Moravians (ethnic group)

Hi, you created the above category, but as far as I can see, no single person currently in it is/was really and undoubtedly Moravian by ethnicity. (In fact it is hard to tell what is the Moravian ethnicity and who belongs there.) Now there are even Jews and Germans in it. Please can you correct it or let it delete?--Ioannes Pragensis (talk) 15:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Wade

Nice work. I noticed that Wade is listed under the letter B instead of the letter W on the American Pentecostals. I would change it but I don't know how to edit that page.

Repost of Category:Burials at cemeteries

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Burials at cemeteries, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Burials at cemeteries was previously deleted as a result of an articles for deletion (or another XfD)

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Burials at cemeteries, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Creation

It is somewhat provocative to carry on creating categories while sibling ones are at cfd. Occuli (talk) 19:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I've expressed no opinion on these categories, but I do have to agree that you would be better served by putting a serious effort into explaining and defending your rationale for them in the CFDs, rather than simply ignoring those discussions. Cgingold (talk) 12:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

##th century Christians

I see that you created many useful but empty categories such as.

• 17th century Anglicans (1)
• 17th century Congregationalists (1)
• 17th century Christian religious leaders (2)
• 17th century Lutherans (1)
• 17th century Roman Catholics (1)
• and many others...

Many of these are categories I have been planning to creat for a while now but--- I am wainting until I have the names to fill them with. A name list is here (to be sorted) and A friend of mine will do a lot of sorting a filling by bot. You can still help but please not create a category you cannot fill right away. It is much easier to fend off CfD before they ever start, rather than after, and if the one you create are removed it can make people prone to want to remove others like it latter. Maybe not-- but it is again easier to prevent a CfD than to fight one after it starts. Thanks. --Carlaude ^(talk) 02:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

categories

Please do not use a name like Category:XXX by period when Category:XXX by century fits the category and is much more clear. It is also prefered since it promotes a flater category-tree. Thanks. --Carlaude ^(talk) 20:42, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Thank you. I will when it is most appropriate. However, when there is more involved than just centuries, it seems the "period" category is more helpful. But thanks for the tip. EstherLois (talk) 21:23, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Cool. I notice you seemed to have not to even voted to keep the categories you have created. CDF:Category:Christians by century for example, I hope to will stay. Please consider doing so.--Carlaude ^(talk) 20:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Categories (again)

What IS it with you and categories? As you must know pefectly well by now there is NO POINT creating hundreds of categories with nothing in them. Please give it a rest: why don't you write some more articles on Non-Conformist American bishops instead? HeartofaDog (talk) 22:45, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

• Hello, EstherLois. I was very pleased to see that you took my advice last week and began to participate in the CFD discussions. But I've just discovered that you're continuing to churn out large numbers of categories of doubtful utility. We are all expected to learn from our mistakes as editors -- but so far there does not seem to be a whole lot of evidence that you are learning from yours. So I really want to implore you to give some serious consideration to the many hours of work that you're forcing your fellow editors to expend on cleaning up these messes that you have created, however well intended. For your own good, I hope you will take this appeal to heart, because if you continue on the same course you will run the risk of being blocked for what is known as "WP:Disruptive editing". So please give us some indication that you are taking these concerns seriously. Thank you. Cgingold (talk) 19:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
