Populating categories you create edit

I've noticed that you made a lot of categories with only one or two people in there, like Category:21st-century Israeli translators and Category:20th-century Israeli translators, each only have 1 person in them. Moving forward, could you spend some time populating your categories, like make sure you can find at least 5 people for them? That way they don't get speedy deleted, as well as that allows folks to see that there's potential for populating. Mason (talk) 23:14, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Populating Category:Queer people by occupation edit

I've noticed several small Category:Queer people by occupation categories, like Category:Queer sculptors and Category:Queer painters. Could you populate them a little more to closer to 5+?

Redundant categories edit

I noticed every subcategory in Category:Transgender people by nationality has a subcategory of Category:Gender by country, however the parent subcategories in Category:LGBT by country carries it too. What should we do? Example: Category:Gender in Russia has Category:Russian non-binary people, Category:LGBT in Russia, and Category:Russian transgender people as subcategories.

This was closed with a different outcome to your proposal. Despite this you have gone ahead an implemented your proposal, choosing not to respect consensus. This looks like WP:Disruptive editing and could lead to sanctions. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and either we go with majority decisions (whether we like them or not), or we leave.
I propose to use Admin tools to roll back the actions that you have taken in defiance of consensus at CFD. Do you have any arguments (grounded in Wikipedia policy) why I should not do so? – Fayenatic London 11:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
To remove these categories was a very unreasonable decision. It’s very questioning to me why Wikimedia cannot have LGBT category pages dedicated to one’s identity but one’s occupation is okay? I created the identity category as a merge between the original sexual orientation and gender identity categories and put all the identities into one place, along with pansexual, intersex and queer people. Giovanni 0331 (talk) 18:47, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
As a queer person, I'm disappointed that you're trying to override consensus. The categories aren't being removed, they were being made more central. Mason (talk) 02:55, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
And I’m disappointed that you refuse to understand that I was putting these identity categories into one place instead of leaving them scattered all over the individual LGBT category by nationality. I can understand removing [[:Category:LGBT people by nationality and sexual orientation]] and [[:Category:LGBT people by nationality and gender identity]] because they were not enough categories to fill the pages, so [[:Category:LGBT people by nationality and identity]] was a merge between the two.
Also, it baffles me that the fact that you’re a queer person, the category page upsets you? Giovanni 0331 (talk) 18:29, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Did I say I was "upset" by the category page? No. I said that I was disappointed in your behavior, and that in this case, my identity as a queer person seemed relevant given that you were trying to highlight that this benefited queer people categories. You are trying to subvert the consensus because you disagree with it. That is not how consensus works. The problem at hand is your actions, not the content of the category. Mason (talk) 19:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

The previous consensus on this matter was further confirmed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 February 2#LGBT people by sexual orientation and nationality.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – Fayenatic London 12:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  • We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
  • If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Please add non-diffusing tags to the LGBT categories you create edit

Please add non-diffusing tags to the LGBT categories you create. It would also help others tremendously if you actually populated the categories you make with more than one person. Otherwise they risk being empty. I've made the populating of categories request several times. Please try to add at least 5 people.Mason (talk) 01:43, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

As I've asked several times, when you create categories like this: Category:Swedish lesbian politicians please tag them. @Giovanni 0331 Mason (talk) 23:27, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Gender/Sexual Orientation Categories edit

Hello, Giovanni 0331,

It has seemed that for the past few weeks, you have been undoing the edits of Ernsanchez00, often moving articles from categories Ernsanchez00 created to similar or almost identical ones. What is the basis for your reverts? Are you tracking the categories they create and undoing their work? Could you please have a discussion with this editor so that you are not working at cross-purposes? You both are doing good work but it is better if you collaborate rather than undo another editor's work. A conversation on gender and sexual orientation in category titles might prevent this "collision" from occurring. Thank you for reaching out and communicating with your fellow editor. Liz Read! Talk! 00:37, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

For instance, we have Category:American transgender actresses so it is completely within guidelines to have Category:American transgender male actors because of rules about diffusing categories. You shouldn't have emptied this category. I'd rather not revert your edits so could you readd this category to articles where it is appropriate? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Similarly, without explanation, you seem to be moving all actresses to actors. Was there a discussion somewhere to perform these moves?--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 21:50, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yep I third this concern. This seems to be a broader issue including bisexual actresses as well. You expressed concerns about the category being too small on a user's talk page. However, I just started tidying up Category:Canadian bisexual actresses, and there are more than enough pages to support a category. So if your concern *really* is category size, then you need to take that up at CFD. Mason (talk) 22:21, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Again edit

Then take those categories to CFD instead of pulling Wikipedia:Disruptive editing. Until you take those categories to CFD, I'm going to undo those edits and those articles will remain categorized that way.-Asqueladd (talk) 10:15, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

It was already agreed that some of these category pages are liable for deletion if there are less than five subjects in the page, and the original creator of the category has no problem with me reverting the edits. Also, you do realise that your edits are disruptive as well? For example Paco León, in addition to being an actor, is also a screenwriter, director and producer. So I added the LGBT categories for this page. By reverting my own edits, you’re removing all these categories in the process. Giovanni 0331 (talk) 10:26, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
So why don't you propose the deletion or merging of the bisexual categories? Emptying them is not the proper procedure to get them removed.--Asqueladd (talk) 10:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Giovanni 0331 The basis of that argument (Wikipedia:SMALLCAT) is depreciated. Please stop deleting categories out of process Mason (talk) 17:32, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

AMAB trans men categorization edit

It's not the first time you add transgender male categories to AMAB biographies. Let me list some:

They identify as transgender, not sure if they identify as men, but pretty sure they never self-identified as trans men (syntagma). Some are even trans woman (but not in a transhet way, more like turigirl/gaylm way). Stop diffusing into gendered categories when they don't explicitly identify as such. --MikutoH talk! 22:57, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please populate the categories you create edit

I've asked you this several times. Please add more than one person when you create categories that can clearly be populated, like Category:21st-century Brazilian sportspeople. Mason (talk) 00:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
