Disambiguation link notification for February 25
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited North Auckland Line, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Western Line ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/North_Auckland_Line check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/North_Auckland_Line?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:19th-century Brazilian singers


A tag has been placed on Category:19th-century Brazilian singers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive
G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:


 * tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
 * adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
 * updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
 * creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

De Clisson not French
Adding to a list of French ladies confuses her heritage. She was Breton, a independent country at that stage. This like equating a 6th century Welshman as English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.113.172.181 (talk) 18:45, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Women are people
Hi! I've noticed that you've been adding categories to a large number of articles. Please make sure that you do not add articles to wrong categories (eg. Elizabeth of Bosnia was not a Polish woman in any sense). Also, please bear in mind that parent categories should not be included, so having an article in both Category:14th-century Hungarian women and Category:14th-century Hungarian people is not a good practice. Surtsicna (talk) 10:45, 9 May 2018 (UTC) Elizabeth of Bosnia was a queen consort of Poland (as it says in her first para). Like many noble and royal women many were doubtless married for reasons of alliance so I think she counts as Polish! Like Prince Albert who became Queen Victoria's royal consort. quite a few women get double listings say as German princesses and Polish princesses. And if you look at any of the "women" subcategories (eg Category:19th-century American women writers or Category:19th-century Polish women) they are described in the label as "Non-diffusing". Hence as it says a Polish 19th century women writer could be in the 19c Polish women writers category and the 19c Polish writers category. "Non-diffusing" is a standard arrangement to avoid "ghettoisation" of women into their own category and also the need to search two categories of (say) 19c Polish writers or poets and 19c Polish women writers.Hugo999 (talk) 11:09, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for adding the time category of women ("16th-century women" and so forth) to articles! Just a note: If an article already have "Category:16th-century French women writers", there is no need for "Category:16th-century French women", because 16th-century French women writers where 16th-century French women to. So remember not to double categorize articles. And - articles in the women-category should still have the people category, because women are people too and there are not men-category. Cheers!--Aciram (talk) 20:33, 21 June 2018 (UTC) Well women by century are "double-categorised" because the "women" categories are non-diffusing. this means that women are also included the main category so are not "ghettoized" Hugo999 (talk) 08:26, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

New Zealand by-elections, 19c
Re 1862 City of Dunedin by-elections it is now finished (but still a stub) as have worked out that there was no March poll for Dick & Richardson: Called for after a show of hands on Tuesday 18 March (ODT 18 March, OW 22 March) but then scrubbed Wednesday 19 March as Richardson’s nominator was not on the local roll. And Dick had resigned as he did not want to go to the session in Auckland. NB: the OW 22 March article did not have what happened on the 19th when the poll was scrubbed (a local paper but not up to date!). By combining two or three by-elections in one year into one article, it simplifies checking by-election templates (two separate types of template) and articles which can have a redirect to the one article if necessary. Some distinguished the two in one year with “April 1862” and ”July 1862” in the title, some has (1st) and(2nd), but they can all be given a redirect to the one article. And there are sometimes both “City of Dunedin by-election” and “Dunedin by-election”. NB: never thought of removing the last part (after ?) from Papers Past URLs.

Newspaper refs
I'm sure you have a ref template somewhere that you copy from by-election to by-election article or results template. Could you please do me a favour and change two things in that template?
 * It should be "cite news" instead of "cite web".
 * Please replace the parameter "publisher" with "work".

The former is because that's the correct template to use for newspaper citations. The latter achieves that the name of the newspaper is displayed in italics, as it should be. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. And keep up your good work; at the current rate the red links will be gone some time in February, I reckon.  Schwede 66  07:13, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Will note those thanks, tho may have something else to do this (and next) week! Hugo999 (talk) 08:32, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

1867 Avon by-election
Hey, Hugo. The Article that I Created just now is plain boring. I tried to find the voting numbers for election, but I could not find it, would it be lovely if you find the numbers on the election? Thanks! Sheldybett (talk) 07:15, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Well, the article needs categories; alter those for 1862 Avon by-election. The newspaper ref goes in a separate template. Hugo999 (talk) 08:31, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

The newspaper refs is from Papers Past using dates around the election date and search terms "Election" and "Avon". And if you wanted to find more on the losing candidate say "Avon" and "Allen" for a week or three before the election. But for 19c elections look at the nomination meeting and read past the speeches you will see that the returning officer (who got three cheers) said there was no other candidate just Reeves; nominated by Robert Wilkin and seconded by George Allen. Sometimes with two candidate they had a show of hands. The losing candidate could then demand a poll which the Returning Officer would set a date, say in a couple of days. See the ref declaring Reeves elected: PS: as advised by Schwede66 (above) you can just cut off the part of the Paper Plus internet ref after the query mark (?).

NB: the template needs percentages of the vote as well which I get from an Excel spreadsheet. And now I have two screens with a bigger new one for Xmas. Hugo999 (talk) 09:33, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
