Thanks for taking a look at the Elvis Presley article. I remember trying to improve it a little awhile back because it was in bad shape for such an important topic but think I got sidetracked. Kansan (talk) 22:29, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you've created some new cats, many of which are similar to EN categories and are tagged with popcat from creation. Generally, we want at least 3-5 pages in a category soon after creation. While some of your categories are OK, some of them may not be necessary for this wiki. I strongly suggest you try to populate the categories you've created by putting existing articles into the categories. If not, the categories may have to be deleted. When you are creating new articles, perhaps use fewer and higher-level categories rather than creating many new and unpopulated ones Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 04:29, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
Jim Michael...if you are going to be adding categories and statements in articles about subjects being gay/lesbians or LGBT, please provide sources in the article. This can be a controversial subject for BLPs, so please only add these categories/statements if they are backed up by reliable sources. Thank you, Either way (talk) 00:13, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
I just removed the ((popcat)) from some of the categories you created. Specifically, I removed it from categories that were related to people's religion or sexual orientation. Those things should only be indicated if there's a good reason, so we don't need to make a special effort to populate the categories. Any questions, just ask! --Auntof6 (talk) 04:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Hey there! Currently there is a discussion at WP:ST about proposing a project that could help users who have disabilities. Please join in this discussion. Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 20:26, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
It is not necessary to use ((popcat)) on every category you create. Doing this creates more work for other editors. Your new categories Category:British pop music groups and Category:British pop musicians have a good number of entries already and don't need to be flagged as underpopulated. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:48, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
Hello Jim, in the McHitler article the dates have the number first just wondering if thats the correct formatting? Thanks. --Crobau (talk) 21:55, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for making this change to Bill Gates. I have removed it, along with the other reference to him being an agnostic. This is because there is no reference for it, and the article doesn't show that it's relevant. We don't include mention of a person's religion unless it's relevant. Things that would make a person's religion relevant include being a clergy member, someone being persecuted for their religious beliefs, or someone who publicly talks about their religion. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:19, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Please stop putting religion categories on so many articles. A person's religion should be mentioned only if it's relevant, and the article should explain why it's relevant. Thank you. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:01, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
You worked on some punk rock-related articles, so i just thought…
Just a couple points you may want to deal with with your article creation. (Overall, they are nice, but I find I'm following behind you on a lot of them and making the same tweaks)
As I mentioned - overall its very nice work, just a couple things you may want to keep in mind. Jim Michael (talk) 22:50, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
I was just about to say thanks for creating an article for Cliff. But then I see that you have removed the "Christian" category which I had added. Why would you do that? Maybe you think that he is only known in the UK, but he is known world wide.
I tagged the category you created for quick deletion as the articles in it have been moved to Category:People from San Francisco, California. Given the name of the article for the city and the name of the category for that article (both use ",California"), for consistancy I used that format for all subcategories for the city (San Diego is using the same naming convention). I also found all articles linked to the city for people and made certain they were added to the category as well as separated it into subcats that will be consistant for the large cities in California (as well as semi consistent for many other large cities as I get to them) - Athletes, actors, musicians (single person, singers as well as there are rarely enough to differentiate them at this point), musical group (bands mainly). 70.184.171.16 (talk) 09:58, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I noticed you populating this category, and removing other categories from the entries you put into it. Could you explain your reasoning behind this? Even if you put entries in this category, I think they should stay in the other categories. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:44, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jim. Do you think, perhaps, that you could include at least one citation in these biographies that you create on an almost daily basis. At the rate we are going, this wiki will have more unsourced BLPs than enwiki does in less than 2 months time. You've been here for so long, I'm sure you're familiar with the relevant policies, you're new articles have everything that they should have except that they're devoid of any references. Could you please make an effort to include at least one reliable citation in any new biographies that you create? Osiris (talk) 02:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Would you put a description on this category? For example, is it for programs whose main theme is LGBT-related, programs who have a regular LGBT character, programs that have addressed LGBT themes, all of those, or what? Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:01, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Please stop adding categories related to religion to BLPs without there being a reference for it. An example is Category:Jewish American actors. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:03, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
I believe you created many of these categories. I see a maintenance issue, because if the octogenarians live into their 90s, or the nonogenarians live to the age of 100, the categories would need to be changed. Is there a particular reason for having these categories that makes it worth having to do that maintenance? --Auntof6 (talk) 01:52, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Would you mind not adding categories to movie articles unless you have three movies to put into the category? I've been working to reduce the number of redlinked categories, and the categories you've been adding are filling up the list again. In general it's not bad to have some redlinked categories, it's just that there are now a lot of them on movie articles. I'd really appreciate your cooperation here. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 12:08, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar!
For all your work on movie articles! --Auntof6 (talk) 04:28, 28 March 2013 (UTC) |
Would you want to create categories like "American romantic comedy movies" or "American comedy drama movies" (or British, or anything that would basically combine two different categories)? If so, I volunteer to help if you like. I could use AWB to easily find movies that are in whichever categories you'd want to intersect and recategorize them. Let me know. :) --Auntof6 (talk) 06:43, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
I see you've been creating some new categories recently. Instead of putting interwiki links in the category, would you please add the new category to its Wikidata entry? Interwiki links are now kept in Wikidata, not in individual pages. If you don't know how to update Wikidata, let me know and I'll find the instructions for you (or write them myself). Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:30, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey Jim. I've been working hard into making Nelson Mandela into a good article. I added a lot of information (simplified it) and added references to them.

An editor has requested deletion of Category:Deaths by city, a category you created. We appreciate your changes, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination.
Since you created many of these categories, such as Category:Deaths in Cambridgeshire, you might be interested in the discussion to change the way they are used and likely eliminate many of them. Please see the discussion at Category talk:Deaths by country#Proposal: Use of this category and its subcategories and comment as you see fit. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:44, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
Four people ended up supporting the proposal, so I am going to implement it. I will be removing individual people from the categories that do not include a cause of death, and deleting categories that end up without enough entries. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:54, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Two things: first, I added some entries to this category and removed the popcat tag. Second, please don't create a category with only one or two entries, even if you put the popcat tag on it.

I wanted to explain why I reverted your changes about Category:2009 television series debuts. The categories for the years that TV series debuted should contain only articles, not categories. I think about it like this: it isn't helpful for, say, an actor in a TV series to be under a category like Category:2009 television series debuts. We don't care what actors were in series that debuted in a certain year. Therefore, that category should have only the articles for TV shows, not the categories.
I understand your thinking of wanting to have Glee in just the one category, Category:Glee, and have all the other related categories attached to that category. I like to do that, too, but it doesn't work that way with all categories. Please keep this in mind when working with categories, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 21:46, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for creating this category. You might not have known, but many of our standard chronology categories have templates that are used to define them. I have changed the category to use the template for disestablishment years. Take a look at it to see how these categories should be defined, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 04:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
I noticed you made this new category a subcategory of Category:Television game shows. Not all quiz shows would be television shows: there were quiz shows on radio as well. Would you prefer to rename this category to "Television quiz shows" or to categorize it somewhere not under television? I'd be willing to help with whichever you prefer. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:48, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
You might have forgotten, but at this RfD the community decided not to have categories for specific LGBT categories by nationality. The new categories Category:American transgender and transsexual people and Category:British transgender and transsexual people that you recently created are the same kind of thing, so I am going to recategorize the entries and delete them. Please do not create this kind of category again without a community discussion. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:40, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Some of the categories you've created recently (for example Category:1960s in the United Kingdom and Category:1964 in the United States) do not have the minimum three entries in them. (Refer to Wikipedia:Categories#Is there a need for the new category? for information about this requirement.)

Stop edit warring. I have reverted your addition, so there is no consensus for it. Get rid of it. That information is incredible irrelevant in a two-sentence description. Look up any other similarly brief description of the person and I guarantee it will not mention that information. Instead of adding all the trivial bits of personal details to biographies, why don't you add something useful? On why they're notable? Something about the acting career of this biography of an actor? Osiris (talk) 00:53, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

There were quite a few categories with names like "Deaths in France". I renamed them to names like "Deaths in France by cause" to make it clearer that they are only for deaths by cause. Otherwise, the category name could be interpreted as meaning it was for any deaths in France, even though we had the hatnote on them. Just letting you know.

Please be careful creating sub-categories. As you know we try to have as few categories here as possible. One example that I noticed you create was Category:Sportspeople from Edmonton. If you look at its parent category Category:People from Edmonton. There is no way that it needed to be subdivided yet. While yes we accept categories that have only 3 articles in them, you do still need to use commonsense. If the content of a category doesn't extend past a single page then it probably doesn't need subdividing yet. -DJSasso (talk) 13:44, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I noticed that on at least two pages yesterday, after they were patrolled as new pages, you removed the ((no sources|date=May 2014)) tags. I also noticed you added == Other websites == and a link to IMDb. The Other websites addition is fine but it is not a source category. Even if it were, IMDb is not a reliable source to cite. Remember, everything in Wikipedia’s main space must be verifiable. For this we use reliable inline source citations. Please do not clear a tag if the problem mentioned has not been corrected. In these two cases it wasn’t so I replaced the tags. Thanks. Rus793 (talk) 13:26, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

When you add stuff to establishment categories, whether it's for establishments by time or establishments by location, please add individual articles for the things that were established, not the same-named categories for those things. The reason is that when someone is searching for things that were established in a certain time or in a certain place, they aren't usually interested in all the things that are related to it. For example someone looking for settlements established in a certain year isn't likely to be interested in people who were born there, shops that are there, etc. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:28, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
I'm sure it was inadvertent but your edit to Elinor Wylie broke text-source integrity. Editors need to be careful when editing a source-cited sentence that their edit does not cause the citation to fail verification. The information that she died in New York City was not in that source. In fact, the exact quote from that source concerning her death was just mentioned on the article's talk page. Neither of the two sentences quoted from the book, or the entre page for that matter, mentioned she died in New York City. Other sources say she did, but either did not mention a cause or gave a different cause (see the discussion). So it wasn't a case of the information being wrong, just not being from that source. See WP:INTEGRITY. If you'd like to add a sentence with a citation telling where she died, there are several books which provide that information. Alternatively (see the examples in WP:INTEGRITY) you can continue the sentence adding the New York City information and cite with an appropriate source. It's completely your choice. BTW, since I had a part in source citing the article, and researched a number of sources, it would be easy to provide you a short list from which to choose if you like. It would save you some time.

Hi, Jim. I just removed this template that you added to Fleetwood Mac and The Jackson 5. We don't use the template on articles about bands.

Hey, Jim, I removed the category you just added to this one (fiction set in the past). The reason I removed it is that a historical movie isn't necessarily fiction.

Jim, I purposely removed any reference to LGBT people in his case because as late as an interview a few months ago he has denied being gay. True, he has gone back and forth on the issue, but it's a BLP. One problem in particular is that categories must supported by the article text (cited by reliable sources). When I researched the article for source citations, for every source I found where he's alluded to being gay or bisexual, there's another interview where he denies it. So I kept it conservative with regards to his sexuality. I don't think his sexual preferences should the point of the article anyway. But rather than just removing the LGBT/gay cats I thought I'd see what you think. Thanks. Rus793 (talk) 21:48, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Jim. Since "trading" is not a very specific word (it can mean stock trading, or trading just about anything else), would you please either find a clearer name for this category or put an explanation of it on the category page? Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 10:24, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
For what particular reason are you putting categories in alphabetical order? Angela Maureen (talk) 01:50, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
Can you make the pages Amanda Leigh and So Real more notable? Someone doesn't really think these two records are notable. Angela Maureen (talk) 20:14, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Jim, there are certain kinds of things about people that need references if you mention them. If you add categories about them, they must also be in the text with references. Those things include mental or other health conditions and sexual orientation. In Luka Magnotta, you added an LGBT category as well as text and categories about mental conditions, but I see no sources for those. Even if an article already has an LGBT category, don't add more if you don't see a reference -- in fact, it would be best to remove the ones already there (unless you want to add a source). I removed the unsourced text and related cats from Luka Magnotta. You can add it back if you give sources. Let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:04, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Jim. When you create an "X by Y" parent category, please make sure to do two things. One is to put a parent category notice at the top of the category, using the ((parent category)) template. The other thing is to use correct sort keys in the "X" category. For example, the correct code for Category:People from New York City by borough is one of the following:
[[Category:People from New York City| ]]
[[Category:People from New York City| Borough]]
Notice the space at the beginning of the sort key. You can use either of the examples, as long as it's consistent all similar categories do the same (that is, space only or word followed by space). Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:46, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Jim. When you put an article into a category that has the same name as the article (as you did with Ricky Martin and several other articles recently), please use a space for the sort key. That will put the article at the beginning of the articles shown in the category. You can read about this under "Special character sort keys" at Wikipedia:Categories#Special sorting. Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:01, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent change to the page Incest appears to have added wrong information and has been removed. If you think the information that you added was correct, please provide a source for the change or discuss it on the article's talk page. Please use the sandbox for any tests that you wish to make. Thank you. If you're going to say that most stepparents don't care about their stepchildren, you really need a source for that. Auntof6 (talk) 16:33, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
Jim, I just removed some genre categories that you added to various "Songs/albums by X" categories. You can't categorize all of an artist's songs or albums by genre, because they could do different genres at times. Just categorize the songs and albums by genre individually. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:23, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
I take issue with the fact that your above discussion speaks about incest in a purely abusive/negative fashion. If it occurs between cousins of similar age, the majority of people don't see it as a problem. Similarly, if it occurs between siblings or with an adult nephew/niece alng with contraceptives, it is not necessarily abusive. Therefore this premise may be offensive to incestophiles. 78.144.240.47 (talk) 17:09, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
You didn't create these categories, but you do a lot of movie categorizing so I thought I'd ask your opinion. Do you think we need both of these categories? If so, how do we know which category to use? It seems to me that they're pretty much the same thing, at least the way they're being used. What do you think? --Auntof6 (talk) 22:13, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
Hey, Jim, sexting is not pornography, so I removed the category that you added. Let me know if you have any questions about this. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:50, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Jim, please stop leaving redlinked categories on articles. If you're creating a new category, please create and populate it within a very short time. We don't have a guideline for a specific amount of time, but I usually look for no more than half an hour, and preferably within a few minutes. I work hard to keep down the number of things listed at Special:WantedCategories, so I'd appreciate your cooperation with this. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:12, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Jim. When you create categories like Category:Establishments in the United Kingdom that specify place but not time, they should include only categories for (dis)establishments by time and/or place. They shouldn't directly contain articles or categories for things that actually got (dis)established. For example, Category:Establishments in California was on Los Angeles Times, and Category:Disestablishments in Australia was on Category:Commonwealth Liberal Party. The whole point of the (dis)establishment categories is when things were established. Any of the actual things that got established or disestablished (companies, settlements, countries, etc.) should be in establishment categories that specify time, either with or without place.
I cleaned this up, and a couple of categories got deleted because they became empty. A few others now contain fewer than three entries, but I will leave them for now. Please keep these issues in mind when you create (dis)establishment by place categories. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:38, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
I removed the notability tag from the article. My first concern when I patrolled it yesterday was notability. But in researching the subject I found he did meet the criteria. I saw the iTunes information yesterday but was interrupted and didn't mention it in the article—sorry. Just wanted you to know the reason. Thanks User:Rus793 (talk) 13:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Jim, I just removed two movies from this category. A movie is not "about virginity" just because it has a character who's a virgin, or even just because there's a character who loses his or her virginity. The Blue Lagoon is about children and how they survive when they are stranded on an island. American Beauty is about a man infatuated with his daughter's friend. Let's try to keep this categorization to the main themes of the movies. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 05:59, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
As I previously asked here and here, please stop leaving redlinked categories on articles. I just removed ten of them from Denis Healey. Wait until there are three article for the category, then put it on the pages. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:34, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
The article says Suplee is "known for", not notable for. (We're not supposed to say "notable" in articles.) Saying someone is known for something does not show notability. There are several things I'm "known for" among my family and friends, but that doesn't make me notable. I'm going to leave it to see what other admins think, but if you want to improve it in the meantime, that would help. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:38, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Hey there Jim! I've always noticed and am grateful for your edits to my articles by adding or creating the appropriate categories. I am in need for your help.

Hi, Jim. For something like Honduras, you would put Honduras in the establishment category instead of putting Category:Honduras there. The reason is that not everything under Category:Honduras is relevant to being established in the 19th century. Let me know if you have any questions about this. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 23:33, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
Please remember: when you create a category, and there is an article in the category that has the same name as the category, you use a sort key of one space for that category. I see above that I have mentioned this to you before. I fixed the Spike Lee article, so you can look at that to see how to do it. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 01:55, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed you adding quite a few pages to Category:Category needed lately. Would you like some help to learn how to categorize? --Auntof6 (talk)
Hi, Jim. I removed 2 of the 3 entries from this category (movies about animals and TV series about animals). I did that because not all movies and TV series about animals are fiction. Even though the category now has only one entry, I haven't deleted it yet because I thought you might want to add back just the movies and series that are fictional. If you don't want to do that, let me or another admin know and we can delete the category. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 22:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Could you take a look at Prince (musician) -- an IP made some changes after your last edit to that page.

Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 22:08, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
It's OK to add a category to an article when you're about to create the category. However, when you do that, the new category should be created right away. In the case of some of the redlinked categories that I removed recently, you had added the categories at least several hours before. When a category stays redlinked for that long, it's hard to know that you're still working on it. Please shorten the time between adding a redlinked category and the time that you create the category. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 19:44, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Jim. When you create a category (for example, Category:Mansfield) that has the same name as one of the articles in it (for example, Mansfield), the article needs a special sort key for that category. The sort key is a space. That lets the article appear before the other articles in the category. This is explained at Wikipedia:Categories#Special sorting, under "Special character sort keys". Please remember to set the right sort key when you put articles into same-named categories. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 04:34, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Jim, I've mentioned this to you many times, and you still aren't using the right sort key for these articles. In your new category Category:Ilford, you didn't use it for Ilford. I gave you the link for the guideline. Even if this is only a guideline and not a policy, I don't see any reason not to follow it. Please follow it. --Auntof6 (talk) 03:28, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

What criteria are you using to decide which series fit these categories? It seems to me that it should require the romantic comedy aspect to be the main point of the series. I haven't checked all the series in these categories, but I disagree that The Big Bang Theory belongs there. It is a comedy series, and there are romances in it, but they are not the main aspect of the show. I don't think it belongs in a romance category at all. This makes me suspicious of what else might be miscategorized under romantic comedy. Since you do a lot of this type of categorizing, it would be helpful if you describe the criteria. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 21:37, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Hello Jim,
I'm reaching out to you because I am working on a research project on simplification and am looking to collaborate with domain experts.
A quick introduction: I am a researcher interested in text simplification and am working towards publishing a resource in text simplification based on Simple Wikipedia (quite a rich encyclopedia). We believe this resource, which we will make public, could be valuable to educate and increasing awareness of text simplification.
Some colleagues and I are looking to collaborate with domain experts in the creation of the resource. We've secured some budget for our research project, so there's the possibility to remunerate a few experts that would work with us.
I do not mean to spam you, so feel free to disregard/delete if you feel this is inappropriate (and I apologize). On the other hand, if you are interested, please feel free to reach out, either directly on Wikipedia or by email (phillab@berkeley.edu) and I would be happy to tell you more.
Thank you, and sorry again if you feel this is inappropriate,
Philippe Laban
