Taxon parameter in Automatic taxobox
Hi, please see Template:Automatic taxobox. The taxobox displays at present without this parameter, because it uses the page title by default, but this is deprecated, so please include it. Thanks. Peter coxhead (talk) 13:43, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Totally fine. For what it's worth, Streisand really only happens with older stuff - if it's a new article with copyvios, there's little to no chance of it being picked up by anyone.

St. Cecilia High School (Nebraska)
Hi, thanks for your help in the sourcing for St. Cecilia High School (Nebraska). I don't have a subscription to newspapers.com. Could you possibly add the news story to the article when you get a chance? Thank you, Thriley (talk) 21:05, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , I'll do what I can. I'll try to get it done within the next couple hours. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:07, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't think it's Encyclopedic. It's just a story about a coach from the school. It does appear to be an AP article though. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:08, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * A story about a coach of one of the schools sports teams would be helpful, especially if it is about winning a championship. Thriley (talk) 21:13, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Update. I found two sources from Omaha. However, they are stuck behind a paywall I cannot access. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:16, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Great! That's good even if you can't access them. State athletic titles demonstrate notability. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 21:20, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I added them to the AFD. Scorpions13256 (talk) 21:28, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Sorry about this ping coming out of nowhere. I just wanted to let you know that you can apply for free access to Newspapers.com through the Wikipedia Library. That will help you in AFDs. Scorpions13256 (talk) 23:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

cat: 20th-century Australian writers
This edit, and others like it, added the article to Category:20th-century Australian writers, but this is unnecessary, as the article is in the diffusing sub-Category:20th-century Australian novelists and Category:20th-century Australian short story writers, hence I've removed it, per WP:CATSPECIFIC, WP:SUBCAT. Please update your script or process to allow for existing diffusing categories. Mitch Ames (talk) 02:42, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I did not take into account that it could already be in a specific enough category. I'll take care of this right now. Scorpions13256 (talk) 03:01, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Non-diffusing categories?
Hello, I have articles on my watchlist that you have added categories to, and that is very much appreciated, but now I see you removing categories, such as Category:21st-century Indian writers and Category:20th-century Indian scientists from articles about women writers and women scientists - as a major caveat, I do not have a good grasp on the particulars, but there recently was a discussion at the Women in Red Talk page about non-diffusing categories that makes me wonder, at least for some of your edits, why the main category is being removed. Any clarification you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you very much, Beccaynr (talk) 04:59, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * See the above discussion. You caught me just as I was done undoing a major series of mistakes. Scorpions13256 (talk) 05:02, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I think I understand now, especially after further review of the articles (I have many on my watchlist)... although I still have a question about Vera Hingorani who is a scientist and still categorized as Category:20th-century Indian women scientists, and Prem Chowdhry, categorized in Category:21st-century Indian scientists, but born in 1944 and active in the 20th-century. I am trying to learn more about how these things work, so thank you again, Beccaynr (talk) 05:16, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I actually do not know the explanation for that. I was only editing that way for consistency. I guess both categories could work if she was active in both centuries. Scorpions13256 (talk) 05:26, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you - I consider myself more of a "wikifairy", and have great appreciation for all of your gnoming work. I may cautiously add a category when it seems to work within the system, but I trust your much greater experience with this. Thanks again, Beccaynr (talk) 05:31, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * ... Prem Chowdhry, categorized in Category:21st-century Indian scientists, but born in 1944 and active in the 20th-century... — WP:COPCENTURY may be helpful here. Mitch Ames (talk) 05:35, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you,, and I think I need to keep working on the article, and reorganize it a bit to better figure out how that guideline may apply. She may be fairly evenly split across the centuries, but I feel additional research is needed. Thanks again, Beccaynr (talk) 05:48, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Wow! That is a lot of categories. I am busy with my internship, so I may be too busy until Tomorrow evening (24 hours from now). Pinging . I think the editor's Modus operandi is to read what genres are provided on an article and create the category for them. Just because the genre listed is "Western Drama", does not mean that we need a category for it. He has done mostly good work, but he goes overboard at times.
