is there any particular reason

for not adding talk page tags? (projects) not a big deal either way, just wondering... JarrahTree 12:27, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

I am not sure what you are referring to.--User:Namiba 12:56, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

A large number of the categories and articles that you create have red links for the talk page - however the usual approach to the material is to have projects added -

from my experience of research re labour history in western australia - I have added items relevant: - https://en.wikipedia.org/Category_talk:Industrial_Workers_of_the_World_in_Australia it might not fit all items, just the unique circumstances of that subject.

in a lot of circumstance it is much simpler - https://en.wikipedia.org/Category_talk:Industrial_Workers_of_the_World_in_Canada JarrahTree 13:06, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't tend to add tags. Others will add them if they want to do so. Everyone has different editing habits.--User:Namiba 13:08, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Indeed - thank you so much for your reply - that's fine - there are often many corners of wikipedia where no one is the slightest interested. But thank you very much for your main space additions about organised labour - very thorough, and thank you JarrahTree 13:18, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Springs25I

I do not have a second account, the “Springs25I” is just a crazy coincidence, I swear. I do not know and am not Springs25I. It could be a troll or something. Springs24 (talk) 20:11, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Crystal Dangerfield

Hi, Namiba. Do you have any interest in working on Crystal Dangerfield for DYK? I have about four days left to expand it fivefold, and it's already approximately that long. Thank you for starting this article! I am just a fan. - (talk) 02:02, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi SusanLesch, the article looks great. You've done a lot of work to improve it from the stub I created. I don't have the time to work on it myself but I appreciate the work you've done. One small thing: a few of the points in the personal life section (like her favorite movie etc) seem trivial. Not sure if they should be included in an encyclopedia article.--User:Namiba 02:54, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Okay, thank you again for creating this. Agreed trivia is out of place in Misplaced Pages. I just think it's important to show nobody is 100% their sport. Does it look better now or should I remove the sentence: spending time with...? -SusanLesch (talk) 15:38, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

I think the "she enjoys..." sentence is probably not necessary. Those aren't particularly unique characteristics that cannot be written about most other people.--User:Namiba 17:25, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. Fixed. -SusanLesch (talk) 21:05, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Please help

I noted you are a member of " countering systematic bias" on Misplaced Pages. I created an article Military of ancient Nubia to showcase the military prowess of the African civilization. Please check it out to ensure it isn't deleted and if you can even make it better , more information and widespread, then that will be really helpful.

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--—Bagumba (talk) 03:20, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Namiba

Please visit WP:ANI before you do any more categorization of sports or athlete pages. Thank you. Liz 03:57, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

High schools

Here is a link to US Cities notable people criteria. People articles get categorized by where they were born or lived. Not gone to school. Going to school in Foo doesn't automatically make you from Foo. That has been the consensus around WP. You know why? I will give 3 examples-

Centereach High School students can come from Centereach, New York but also from Lake Grove, New York and even Selden, New York

Deerfield Beach High School students can come from Deerfield Beach, Florida, but also from Lighthouse Point, Florida, Hillsboro Beach, Florida, Coral Springs, Florida, and Parkland, Florida.

Lake Worth High School students can come from Lake Worth, Florida, but also from Atlantis, Florida, Lantana, Florida

and on and on and on....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 16:19, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
