Empty categories
Hello, Buaidh,

A lot of empty categories have shown up on Database reports/Empty categories that you created. To avoid overwhelming your user talk page, I won't post any more notices here. Should you wish to see all of the empty, tagged categories, you can view them on Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion. Liz Read! Talk! 16:10, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

FIPS Codes
Hi,

I see that upon updating the CDP related articles for Colorado, that the FIPS Codes were deleted. The FIPS Codes are different from the GNIS codes in which the United States Census issues FIPS Codes to each entity and the codes are standard in all place-related articles.In addition, not every place with an FIPS code has a GNIS code and vice versa. Cheers. --Moreau36--Discuss 09:55, 4 February 2021 (UTC).
 * FIPS geographic codes are being phased out. Please see Federal Information Processing Standards. I've left city and town FIPS codes intact for the time being. Yours aye, Buaidh  talk contribs 02:52, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

COI Edit Request for Poet
Hello User:Buaidh: I see you are interested in pages regarding poetry. I am in a COI/Paid relationship with poet and lyricist Larry Beckett. I have posted several requests to his talk page, and have more and am wondering if you would have time and interest in helping review the edits. The editor who originally created the page User:Ghmyrtle has been offering overall suggestions for format, and what the page needs, but is spending most of their time editing other articles. I've also asked for the assistance of User:Yitzilitt who said they would be interested in helping, but may have limited time. I'd love to get more discussion going on for these edits. I put a request on the talk page of the WikiProject Poetry page, but haven't had a response. Along with what is in my existing requests, we will have more to add to the songwriting section. The article is also pretty poorly formatted. If you have the time and inclination to assist, Larry and I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, and best LeepKendall (talk) 23:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

Subpages
Hi, I see you are creating pages like List of places in Colorado/footer. The use of subpages in the mainspace is not allowed though.

Colorado meeting(s)?
I see at Portal:Colorado statement that meetings in 2020 could only be held online (sounds reasonable), and to contact you with meeting ideas... I haven't been much aware of / noticing the portal itself, but am plugging along on Colorado articles, especially ones on National Register of Historic Places listings in Colorado, and hoping to turn all Colorado counties' colors from blue shades to red shades in "Articles" map at wp:NRHPPROGRESS. I also notice a whole lot of redlinks in Template:Protected areas of Colorado, posted at the portal. I contact prolific colorado photographer User:Jeffrey Beall occasionally (and just saw notice of the portal MFD in 2019 at their Talk page i think), and I hope to visit and get pics of many more Colorado places myself this summer. I'd be happy to do a Zoom call amongst 2 or 3 or more Colorado editors about our intentions this year, say if Jeffrey could participate (and he knows others I think too), and perhaps encourage one another to split up the protect areas for articles say, or to get out for more photos. Who knows maybe even meet up camping somewhere nice, say. Can be reached at my Talk page or by email-this-user. Could Zoom most any weekday evening probably, myself. Thank you for defending the Colorado portal back in 2019. I myself have very much not appreciated interactions with one of the editors participating there, by the way. --Doncram (talk) 18:55, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank so much you for your work on National Register of Historic Places listings in Colorado.
 * A Zoom meeting sounds like a good idea. I'll definitely participate. We have a number of articles missing from Template:Protected areas of Colorado and the List of places in Colorado. We also have a number of photographs requested in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Colorado. I'm currently expanding the List of places in Colorado. It has turned into a far bigger job than I anticipated. The Place Names of Colorado is a wonderful but highly detailed resource.
 * I'll post something on WikiProject Colorado and Portal:Colorado. I may be delayed doing our taxes. Yours aye, Buaidh  talk contribs 19:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Mountain pass units issue
Your edit of List of passes of the Rocky Mountains on 18:57, 26 November 2012‎ []took all the Canadian elevations listed in meters and changed it to a value such that when converted from meters to feet would be the original number, e.g. you changed 2922 m to 890.626 so that the elevation would be listed as 890.626 meters, 2922 feet, even though the actual data is 2922 m.

Hi Buaidh. Four months ago I raised a question on the Protected areas of Colorado talk page. To date, there has been no discussion on the topic: Are local and regional trails protected areas? Given your many contributions to the template, your insights on this topic would be particularly helpful. Thanks. Zapus (talk) 23:20, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Regional Trails are designated and maintained by non-profit organizations (such as the American Discovery Trail Society, the Colorado Trail Foundation, the Adventure Cycling Association, and the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association), and are locally protected, often with the assistance of the National Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.

Category:Wildlife management areas of Colorado
Hello Buaidh.

At the page List of Colorado state wildlife areas, a recent edit of yours emptied the above category I had created. My memory is a little vague, but as explained here, I believe I created this category for the the sole purpose of moving List of Colorado state wildlife areas out of Category:Wildlife management areas of the United States by state and into a better suited cat. See here.

I have now placed the the page back into the category, but if that was the only reason I created it in the first place, and if that's the only page that has ever populated it, then it is not a huge deal for me if it's again emptied and nominated for deletion. Thanks for your time. --DB1729 (talk) 17:22, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

And now that look into this more, it would probably be best if I work off of List of Colorado state wildlife areas and populate the category with the existing pages linked there. Not sure why if I didn't do that to begin with, or do you see any problems with that plan? --DB1729 (talk) 17:34, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry I removed List of Colorado state wildlife areas from the Category:Wildlife management areas of Colorado. I've been juggling categories for scores of Colorado lists and I occasionally mess up. If you could add Category:Wildlife management areas of Colorado to the existing articles in the List of Colorado state wildlife areas it would really help. It would be wonderful if you could write a short article for any of the other state wildlife areas. They deserve attention.


 * We will have our WikiProject Colorado Summer 2021 Zoom meeting on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 7:30 PM MDT. I'll send out a notice to folks on the Wikimedia Colorado e-mail list and the Wikimedia Colorado event invitation list next week. Add your username to either of these if haven't already.


 * Thanks, Buaidh  talk e-mail 23:17, 30 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, thank you for the kind reply. I will get on the categorization soon.
 * I may look into the article creation, but just so you know, I've yet to create my first article. My writing skills are not great and that's probably why I'm hesitant to take that step. Also, while in the past I lived in Colorado for a few years and still take a ski trip there once a year, I don't have any specific interest on the topic, as far as my editing is concerned. But thanks for invite anyways. All the best. DB1729 (talk) 00:00, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Cottonwood Pass
Hi Buaidh, I have a concern about your recent edits of Cottonwood Pass. Since DAB pages are supposed to help readers find existing information, and Cottonwood Pass (Continental Divide) is the only 'Cottonwood Pass' that I can find mention of, it would seem that Cottonwood Pass (Continental Divide) is the primary topic and should be at the base name. Furthermore, I see no need for a DAB page because none of the red links listed are used in any Wikipedia article. Leschnei (talk) 11:38, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There are three Cottonwood passes in Colorado. While the Cottonwood Pass in the Sawatch Range is by far the most prominent, we hope to get articles for the other two passes. Would you be willing to write them? Yours aye, Buaidh  talk e-mail 11:54, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

"population_as_of" field is wrong
Per your recent edit at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aguilar,_Colorado&type=revision&diff=1041707516&oldid=1025474602&diffmode=source

changing the "population_as_of" field from 2010 to 2020 United States Census is wrong, because this field is support to be a YEAR.

Also, the field should be changed to  2020  with a lowercase "c".

I'll leave it to you to go back and fix this mistake in all of the recent community articles that you edited https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Buaidh

Colorado edits
Hi, Buaidh. Thanks for updating Colorado articles to have 2020 census data. I have two requests: Thanks a lot! — hike395 (talk) 05:22, 2 September 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Could you add a reference to the 2020 census in the infobox? It would be great for verifiability.
 * 2) If you're going to convert over to use sister links box, could you use ? The default behavior can generate links to non-existent pages, while 1 uses Wikidata to find linked sister projects. If there's only one real sister link, can you not use ?
 * Thank you very much.
 * So far, the Census Bureau has only released 2020 data in legacy text format for redistricting. I will add a link to the redistricting site which we can update later.
 * I did not realize Template:Sister project links had an auto=1 option. I will use this option in case future resources develop.
 * Yours aye, Buaidh  talk e-mail 12:19, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Colorado edits
Please stop changing the names of places to "the city of...". Also, in the infobox, please stop changing the name to the "official name". See Template:Infobox settlement for details. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * What exactly makes you an expert on the municipalities of Colorado? Among other things, I am a retired professional engineer for the State of Colorado. I'm happy to hear your explanation. Yours aye, Buaidh  talk e-mail 23:09, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see Template:Infobox settlement for an example of how a consensus of editors have agreed to format these articles. Would you have a moment to go back and fix these articles?  Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 23:17, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * The following is from Template:Infobox settlement/doc


 * Now please see Colorado municipalities. It would appear that "Town of X" or "City of X" is the "usual name" for a Colorado municipality.
 * In Colorado we have three types of communities:
 * Municipalities which are designated "Town of X" or "City of X."
 * Census-defined places which are usually designated "X CDP."
 * Unincorporated communities other than CDPs which are usually designated by the place name "X."
 * If we just use the designation "X," it appears that that the place is an unincorporated community. That is why we designate Colorado municipalities as a town or city. Do you agree or not? Yours aye, Buaidh  talk e-mail 01:18, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If you visit the websites of the cities and towns listed at Active Colorado Municipalities, you will see that "the usual name in English" nearly always excludes "town of" or "city of": . Your style also differs from the style typically used on city/town articles.  I will start a discussion on one of the articles and get input from the wider community.  Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 09:19, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
 * There are two distinct names:
 * The place name, e.g. Black Hawk, Colorado, which is usually used for the article title, but which may have multiple definitions, and
 * The municipality name, e.g. the City of Black Hawk, which has a defined legal status, area, and population.
 * If we want to use the place name for the infobox name, that's fine, although it is usually redundant with the article title. Any references to the municipality should always specify the municipality name. Yours aye, Buaidh  talk e-mail 17:42, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

future WikiProject Colorado zoom meeting?
Hi Buaidh, I planned to join the 2nd zoom meeting of WikiProject Colorado but something else prevented me. Wonder if it was interesting. I would happily attend a future one. By the way, I have been working away at List of RHPs in CO, bringing the progress map of "articled" NRHPs from to. One would really have to squint to see any difference, though. Trying to change color of all counties in Colorado from blue shades to red shades. Hope you are well. --Doncram (talk) 21:05, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
