List countries by millitary and correct speedy deletion criteria
Hi M'encarta! You tagged List countries by millitary for speedy deletion under the G6 criteria. However, G6 is for technical deletions, and no reason was given for why it was a technical deletion (which you should do for G6). I have changed it to the A10 criteria, as this was a duplicate of a pre-existing, established article at List of countries by military expenditures. Singularity42 (talk) 17:20, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry. M&#39;encarta (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thanks for patrolling the pages. Singularity42 (talk) 17:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

ISEET
I've declined your speedy as A7 doesn't fit. It's an exam rather than a group of people. I'd suggest PROD if you think it should be gone. I don't know if the other exams mentioned have articles or not, or how notable this is. It would require a tidy-up to fit in if it stayed. Peridon (talk) 18:15, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Multiple minor edits to the same page
Hiya. I'm not sure if you know, but advisor.js does let you make multiple changes within a single edit. This would help prevent cluttering up my watchlist with dozens of nearly identical entries. → ROUX   ₪  20:31, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry. From now on, I'll make multiple changes within a single edit, Roux. M&#39;encarta (talk) 20:39, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Royalty cats
Hi, can I ask why you are adding the category Category:Royalty to large numbers of articles, practically in all cases its not justified. People like Alexander Hood, 4th Viscount Bridport are not royalty or have any particular connection to royalty. They are peers. Alexander III of Russia is royalty but he is already categorised in the subcats like Category:Orthodox monarchs and Category:Russian emperors. This seems to be WP:OVERCAT.

 * Therefore, I hereby declare my AWB task is cancelled. M&#39;encarta (talk) 14:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Much obliged. I wonder if it would not be too much trouble if you could self revert? Benea (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm actually not a rollbacker. Are you? M&#39;encarta (talk) 15:08, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I am; but I don't want to sit here clicking 859 different "rollback" links (567 on articles, 290 on category pages - I've done the two in template space). Per WP:AWB it is your responsibility to ensure that your edits are good. -- Red rose64 (talk) 15:52, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I am as well, but you did make a number of other edits to articles while adding the category, some of which are presumably useful, which makes rollbacking (if there is such a word) suboptimal. Will you take this category removal on yourself? Benea (talk) 14:18, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, sir. M&#39;encarta (talk) 20:21, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

You should see the positive aspect of this: if you now revert all these incorrect edits of yours, it will further enhance your edit count! After all, that is what really matters, isn't it? --Hegvald (talk) 14:19, 4 April 2012 (UTC)


 * It's getting on for a week and many hundreds of articles and categories are still incorrectly tagged with this category. User:M'encarta hasn't made any statement that he will revert these edits, and indeed hasn't edited for a while. Assuming good faith that M'encarta would do so if he was not busy offline, but should the community take further action in the meantime to remove them? Benea (talk) 14:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks It's not a contest, but it is nice to get some feedback from other users. I appreciate the thought. —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
