== Sorting query ==

Hi FeanorStar! Re ], are you doing some sort of mostly automated task? My understanding is that sorting should be by full name (] says {{tq|Spell out abbreviations and characters used in place of words}}). While it doesn't matter all that much, still, when I go to the effort to do it properly rather than just going with the sloppier title-derived version, it irks a little to have that version implemented anyways. Best, <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> <sup>]</sup> 19:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

:@] : thanks for your message. I am mostly doing this manually and was actually aligning the sort key (defaultsort) with the article title: R. Nelson Smith. The link you mentioned doesn't actually talk about personal names (Mr. Bean is the title of a show); so I'm now not sure which is correct. I also looked at the talk page archive for the WP:Categorization and didn't find anything (I might have missed it). I have been following: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Categorization_of_people#Sort_by_surname --] (]) 20:03, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
::Hmm, interesting, perhaps it's less settled than I assumed, then. That page has the example ] <code><nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:De Klerk, F. W.}}</nowiki></code>, which goes against the passage I quoted above, so there may be some inconsistency. I'll post at ] to see if we can sort it out.

== Reliability of LOC, VIAF, and similar for birth dates ==

I don't believe these are considered reliable sources: ] (] &#183; ]) ''']''' 18:02, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

:@]: I think the LC authority records are more reliable than the VIAF records because the LC records cite sources in the 670 source cited fields. This can include publisher information, published material, internet resources, and email or phone calls with the author involved.
:
:See as an example (under sources):
:
:https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no97060119.html
:
:From what I can tell of the VIAF records I have seen, they don’t source the dates they give very much (at least for birth dates).

:cc: @] and @] ] (]) 21:24, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
::VIAF just aggregates info from its components AFAIK—it clusters authorities automatically without editorial input from humans. LC is only as good as the sources it cites and should probably be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. I've seen LC authorities that cite Ancestry.com and FamilySearch, both of which are not accepted at ]. I think the best approach is to track down the underlying data cited in LCCN and cite whatever that source is, so long as it's reliable. ] (]) (]) 22:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
::Pretty much the same as above. The only real additional thing however is that while Ancestry.com isnt in itself reliable, a lot of the information sourced from it would be. Census records etc. So site those instead. Basically site the source of the info in the database when you can identify it, not the database itself. If you cant identify the source of the information, in almost all cases it would fail our usual tests for reliability. ] (]) 09:54, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
:::thanks to everyone for their input. I appreciate it. I will stop using LC and VIAF as a source for dates.--] (]) 12:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

For the purposes of being able to remove the {{tl|uncategorized}} template from ], template-transcluded stub categories are not sufficient, nor are hidden maintenance categories like {{cl|Possibly living people}} — a page is not properly categorized until it is in one or more ''content'' categories that are ''visible'' to the ''end user''.

The problem is that every time you remove the template, the page pops back onto the uncategorized articles list again, with the result that I have to retag it again because that list can never be left in a permanently non-empty state. So, again, the rule is that stub templates and hidden maintenance categories ''do not'' render an article "categorized" for the purposes of being able to remove the template — a page is not "categorized" until it has at least one category declaration directly on it that is (a) not artificially transcluded by a maintenance template), ''and'' (b) actually visible to the end user in read mode. ] (]) 20:56, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

I apologize for my outburst in that article's Talk page. I had moronically forgotten that my edit was not exactly a new article, and that the rating was therefore for the article as it was before my edit. And it was quite justified for that pathetic little say-nothing single paragraph, of course. Anyway, perhaps somebody would like to rate the article again. I think it's quite a bit better now. Much of it has been translated from the ], but I have added a couple of new sections that the Spanish article didn't have. Sorry again. ] (]) 16:31, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

:no problem. At the time I saw the article, it was a stub. Now I see it is more than that. I will let someone more knowledgeable rate it, but I will restore the banner shell on the talk page, if you are ok with that. --] (]) 17:13, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi FeanorStar7. I've noticed you work on copy-editing/categorising/WP-tagging new articles a lot. Since you are looking at them anyway, would you consider joining ] so you can mark them as "reviewed"? NPP is currently struggling with a large backlog and we could really benefit from the help of experienced, content-focused editors like yourself. Let me know if you're interested and I can assign you the NPP right. &ndash;&#8239;]&nbsp;<small>(])</small> 10:15, 2 July 2022 (UTC)


== wiki edits disapeared ==
:@]: Thanks for your message. I appreciate you thinking of me but don't think I am the right person for the new page patrol; I'm happier cleaning and tidying up articles after discussions have settled down. I have had times where I worked on certain articles and then within an hour they have been deleted, which defeats the purpose of the work I did on them. In these cases, there was no indication of problems (tags in the articles themselves would have helped); only after I looked at the history or the talk page did I realize why they were deleted. I hope this goes some ways to explain why I am declining. Thank you --] (]) 07:49, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

== Request ==

Hi there. I've been going through the new pages queue and have noticed an inordinate number of ||more cats|| templates being tagged by you, including some on pages with four or five or more categories already listed. Please stop overtagging this tag, it is a pain in the ass having to go back and remove inapplicable tags. It's fine to use if there are one or two categories only — although SOFIXIT is a far and away preferred way to handle such things. Beyond that, please stop. Thanks. —tim /// ] (]) 17:02, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

@]
:Hello: I’ve only been adding the more cats template if there are only what I call vital categories or categories like and vital categories and no other significant categories ; in two cases, I didn’t add the tag; in another case I did, but then someone else added more categories after I left the more cat tag…

:
:Example 1
:https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Frank_Erni_Dawkins&diff=next&oldid=1154035288
:I didn’t add the tag; but probably should have taken it out after I added the categories.
:
:Example 2
:https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Jasmine_Gardosi&diff=prev&oldid=1153749161
:only three categories here at the time I edited it; Living people; Year of birth missing (living people) and People from Birmingham, West Midlands; I added the more cats tag on this one.
:
:followed by:
:https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Jasmine_Gardosi&diff=next&oldid=1153749161
:
:that editor left the tag in place even after they added categories it seems.
:
:Example 3
:https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Carlos_Pineda_(politician)&diff=next&oldid=1154342897
:
:in this case, I didn’t add the tag; but again probably should have deleted it after I added the category and other stub category tag I did add; it would have been four categories.
:
:Also, because I couldn't find any documentation about what to do about the more cats tag after adding categories, I left it in. It sounds like that was a mistake. But please be aware that even if I worked on the article it doesn’t mean I added the tag; the page histories will bear this out; I’m pretty good about adding edit summaries. So to solve the problem, I won’t add the tag in the future; if I encounter pages tagged with it by other people or pages I think would need more categories, I will add more categories and take out the tag. I hope this will be satisfactory. Let me know. Thanks for alerting me to the issue. ] (]) 17:47, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi FeanorStar7, thanks for your edits on ]. That's one of those articles that I had almost forgotten about. My desire to get ] up to Featured Topic status stalled a while ago, one article short. I was thinking of trying to push it over the finish line again and your edits reminded me that Plunkett might be a good one, since it's short and comprehensive and (I think) in good shape. Would you have any interest in leaving a FAC review if I nominated that article? ] 01:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

== Robert Fernley article ==

Hello.
I noticed that you edited the Robert Fernley article. Thank you for your contribution.

I've noticed that there are two elements missing from his career.
Since I'm not familiar with the process of adding them, could you please assist me in incorporating this information? I've included the relevant text and references below.

Thank you very much.


Fernley actively supported the National Centre for Motorsport Engineering (NCME) through the Fernley Foundation, collaborating to enhance graduates' qualifications in motorsport engineering and introducing apprenticeship schemes. He facilitated student involvement by loaning his 1981 Ensign N180B car, providing practical experience in operating a historic Formula 1 car. In recognition of his contributions, Fernley received an honorary doctorate from the NCME in 2019.

In 2022, Fernley spearheaded the Racing Star programme, promoting equal opportunities for aspiring racing drivers from diverse backgrounds. The programme included the Racing Star F4 Esports Competition, offering winners a pathway to secure a racing seat in Formula 4 and pursue professional racing careers.

Udayan Bose article link on google

Hi, the article link of Udayan Bose on google leads straight to Rvsingh12/sandbox, which I created in error and you, rightly so, deleted it. Thank you for that. But how do we now change the link of the article on google so that it actually leads to the article rather than the deleted page. The URL currently on google of the Udayan Bose article is https://en.wikipedia.org/Rvsingh12/sandbox. Is there to fix this and please can you ? Thank you very much Rvsingh12 (talk)

@User talk:Rvsingh12: Thanks for your message. Google indexes things on their own. I have no way to change it. I think ultimately it will be fixed once they update their files. I don't know when that will be.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 10:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguations

Hi! As for your recent edits adding biography tags to disambiguation pages (John Spencer, Li Wenliang, Ken Hermann (disambiguation), etc.), I don't believe that DAB pages have ever been categorized as biographies or tagged with biography tags. If there's a misunderstanding on my part feel free to educate me. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 02:32, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

@User talk:AllTheUsernamesAreInUse: Thanks for your message. I haven't been able to find anything in the MOS about adding or not adding bio tags to talk pages either way (I looked in the WP Biography and WP Disambiguation project pages and their talk pages and archives). I will say that there are over 8,000 articles listed under https://en.wikipedia.org/Category:Disambig-Class_biography_articles so I think it's permissible. If you can find other evidence or I missed something, please let me know.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 02:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Article Roberto Lückert León

I apologize for my outburst in that article's Talk page. I had moronically forgotten that my edit was not exactly a new article, and that the rating was therefore for the article as it was before my edit. And it was quite justified for that pathetic little say-nothing single paragraph, of course. Anyway, perhaps somebody would like to rate the article again. I think it's quite a bit better now. Much of it has been translated from the Spanish article, but I have added a couple of new sections that the Spanish article didn't have. Sorry again. Kelisi (talk) 16:31, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

no problem. At the time I saw the article, it was a stub. Now I see it is more than that. I will let someone more knowledgeable rate it, but I will restore the banner shell on the talk page, if you are ok with that. --FeanorStar7 (talk) 17:13, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

TY!

Thanks for all your help categorizing, tagging, and otherwise improving the dang slave trader articles. Appreciate it. jengod (talk) 22:41, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
