Disambiguation link notification for April 1 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Simon Elo, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lapinjärvi (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Category:People by parish in Estonia edit

Why do you think it's a good idea? Parish borders can change. They did most recently in 2017. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 18:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'm somewhat suprised by the question, as the answer is so obvious: all other comparable countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Poland, and the list goes on) have these municipality-level categories and there is no reason why Estonia, of all countries, should be an exception. I'm very much aware of the municipal reform of 2017, whereby the number of parishes/municipalities was drastically reduced. As I'm Finnish, I can easily read Estonian sources. Municipal and other boundaries change from time to time in other countries as well, and if they should change in the future, we'll just do the same thing that is done with corresponding municipal categories in other countries: update. As simple as that. That should answer your question. Kelutral (talk) 19:51, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Example: Category:People by municipality in Finland. Another: Category:People by republican city or municipality in Latvia. Another: Category:People by municipality in Sweden. And so on... Kelutral (talk) 20:00, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you! edit

  The Original Barnstar
Hello, I recently read the article on Abbé Pierre that you edited.I was wondering if you knew if he had any children, or any living relatives?

Thanks for your time. MWilson98 (talk) 12:38, 16 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

No children as far as I know, but he had so many siblings that there certainly are living relatives. Kelutral (talk) 12:47, 16 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People from Jaworzyna Śląska edit

 

A tag has been placed on Category:People from Jaworzyna Śląska requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more 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 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. Liz Read!
