Hello, you may think this is a new member on Misplaced Pages, but it is not. It is a role account for CanadaGirl. It will be used instead of the main account (so as not to inflate the edit count anymore) for things like:

  • spelling corrections
  • categorizing and category fixes
  • (more tasks later as I think of them)

It will not be used for sock puppet voting or any similar action that would be considered circumventing policy.

Also, this is not a bot.

cfd's

All the cfd's I did were on Special:Uncategorizedcategories . Every category should belong to some other category, somehow. Many categories were simply empty, and in some cases, were poorly named, or had typos in the name and amount to junk. I did not cfd anything that had any members or subcategories.

Special:Uncategorizedcategories was about 700 long last week, is about 200 long now and, with regular maintenance, will be very short (ideally zero) soon. I am open to the recreation of any of them as long as they belong to some other category, even if they have no members. Ideally, a domain expert or a taxonomist would be creating empty categories. We all hope the taxonomy to be natural, but it should also be populated. By that I mean, there is not much point to creating a large array of cateroies that are destine to remain empty for a long time (such as Olympic Haitian Bobsleders, or something like that).
