| == Togo and Senegal == | |||
| Neither Senegal nor Togo were created in 1960. Both exist as colonial units prior to that date. Both have no pre-colonial equivalents. This is not Rwanda which does. Some events in the 1950s and 1960s involve Senegal trying to merge with either French Soudan/Mali or the Gambia, showing that the co vept of Senegal as a unit was not clear at that point. However while someone from Senegal in 1945 could be plaved in a category for people from French West African, I think we could argue a writer who was born in the French Colony of Senegal in 1925 was a Senegalese writer, and it makes sense to place him in a category that groups him with another writer born in 1965 and another born in 1995, even if the 1925 born writer spent most of his adult life in France itself. Togo is even messier, since while France had Goree Island from 1677, and began to move onto the mainland in the 1850s, but does not conquers and control modern Senegal really until the 1890s, in Togo until 1884 Togoville is an inconsequential local village, where the Gwemans negotiate a treaty with the village leader. However they control the modern Togo boundaries and beyond by 1905. Things get tricky because in World War I Togo is switched to French and Britsh control. The British area later merged in 1957 with Gold Coast to form Ghana, appropriating an old name for an empire that was actually in modern Ghana and maybe Senegal. The start date for Togo I would say is no later than 1905. However since guidelines say we should not create by century categories where we cannot reasonably expect at least 3 categories, I think we really cannot justify any such categories for either Senegal or Togo. Since Dakar was electing Deputies to the French Assembly I believe from the birth of the 3rd Republic, there might be 3 centuries of Senegalese politician categories that could be created, but I doubt anything else. I have to wonder of we really should allow by century categories at all for some occupations. I really thing we at least need to consider doing away with ERGS type by century cats. Especially ones like 20th-century African-American female musicians. To properly comply with non-diffusing rules a person in that cat needs to be in a 20th-century American musicians, 20th-century American female musicians, and 20th-century African-American musicians, or non-specified sub-cats, just being in American banjoists and American female banjoists and African American banjoists, and Blues banjoists, and American rock and roll banjoists is not going to cut it, if there are no other by century sub-cats besides 20th-century African-American female musicians, and we can only hope she was born before 1930 and died by 1999, but hopefully not before 1900, because you know even if she did one concert after Jan. 1, 2000 or only performed in local school functions before 1900 someone is going to feel the need to but her in another 4 by century sub-cats.] (]) 07:08, 22 November 2023 (UTC) | |||

Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 September 29#Category:Bohemian lawyers
Hello, LaundryPizza03,
You closed this CFD discussion as "Rename and Merge" but instead Category:15th-century Bohemian lawyers was emptied and the new category was never created. Can you look into why this instruction wasn't carried out as you requested? Thank you. Liz 01:17, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Liz: According to the page history , the user Smasongarrison (talk · contribs) did all the processing about half an hour before you deleted the category. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:51, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- My understanding was that both were to be merged into the renamed Lawyers from Bohemia, so there wasn't a new category to create. Mason (talk) 04:22, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
Listification of category:Uses of animals in warfare
That turns out to be unnecessary, as all three entries are already mentioned in Military animal. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:19, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Template:Rasborinae-stub
Hello, LaundryPizza03,
You tagged this template for deletion but it linked to a CFD discussion, not a TFD discussion. I'm not sure this deletion has been discussed among the folks at TFD. I see deletion is mentioned at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2023/September but a WikiProject doesn't have the right to order a page deletion. Could you bring this up at TFD? Thank you. Liz 21:26, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- According to the WP:CFD rules, stub types are nominated for deletion at CfD. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:27, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi there.
I edited https://en.wikipedia.org/Draft:Future_for_Ukraine_Charity_Foundation . Could you review this article? -- Niveus (talk) 08:52, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

CS1 error on PT Puppis
Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page PT Puppis, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 14:57, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
Category deletion
Hi, LaundryPizza03, how are you? I see that you've tagged several categories for deletion as sock creations – for which thank you! – but that no-one seems to want to delete them. That could be because they are not empty (it is in my case, anyway, reluctant to leave a mess of redlinks). Would you care to empty them, perhaps by just reverting edits such as this? I've tried to do so with Kill-it-with-fire, but with only partial success. I'm afraid the rest may need to be done manually ... Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:30, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
About your self-reverted relist
Hey LaundryPizza03, I noticed you trying to relist that massive RfD. I'd hold off on that, as the discussion has already been open for a month, and there's been ample argument. I'm actually in the process of writing up a closing note for it. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:40, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Deaths by country
We have many articles directly in deaths by country. Algeria might lead right now with 12. However, what if the article is specifically on a death, not a bio? Can such an article be placed directly in a death category based on where it occured?John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:47, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Johnpacklambert: Sounds plausible, but I don't know. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:49, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Challenging your close
Hello LaundryPizza03. I noticed you closed Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 9#Category:Politicians' deaths due to animal attacks. I think such action is controversial because you are the nominator in the directly connected Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 13#Category:Politicians' deaths from disease. Editors participating in the first one are also participating in the second one with same or similar arguments, like "trivial intersection". I even requested for said motive of duplication that you merged your nomination discussion with Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 November 11#Category:Politicians killed in duels but I did not even receive any answer from you. All of these discussions are under the parent Category:Politicians by cause of death and have many of the same participants making the same or similar arguments. See WP:OVERLAP, WP:SEETALK. I think ideally the same uninvolved editor should close all of these discussions after analyzing the threads. Therefore, per WP:CLOSECHALLENGE, I challenge your close.

Recent removal of my lawn post
hi, you recently removed one of my posts and I wanted to get more specifics about why since your message was vague. I have to create posts for an assignment in one of my classes and I was using an article that we had read to create my post. I can share the details of my assignment if that would help you understand why I posted what I did.
if you do not agree that my post should be up could you at least point me in the direction of where I can see what I had written... i spent a lot of time adding my citations to my work and would like to see where all that work went
thank you PrestotheUnicorn (talk) 03:10, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- @PrestotheUnicorn: You could rewrite existing sections of the article, which in the case of Lawn are currently poorly referenced. Recall that you are writing an encyclopedia, not a collection of essays. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 03:58, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- but how can i view the work i did and all the citations i added PrestotheUnicorn (talk) 04:20, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- @PrestotheUnicorn: You can load the page history by clicking "View history" at the top of the article; this button appears at the bottom on mobile view, being represented by a clock. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:47, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Jurists
Hi, all your speedy renames need to be reversed. You are using the word "jurist" incorrectly, at least from a British and Commonwealth perspective. A jurist is usually an academic. DuncanHill (talk) 19:24, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
- @DuncanHill: Please appeal to CfD full discussion. This would entail all of the subcategories of Category:Jurists that are not specialized by occupation. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 04:30, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
