Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Bibliography of Canadian history requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 removed 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.

Amish and Mennonite Heritage Center
Thanks for the explanation about the cyclorama. Makes sense. I am a local, and the cyclorama is so central to the Heritage Center that we tend to equate the two. But you are correct, technically. Thanks! Mikeatnip (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining your reversion, and for reminding me to explain my edits properly. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:47, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Greetings
I run into so few 'content creators' these days, so I was happy to see what great contributions you've made to WP. I thought I should touch bases with you concerning my enthusiasm regarding the placement of multiple categories on the pages I create. I probably have a different point of view that most editors, possibly including you, in that my goal is to help readers find their way to the information they want to find. I personally don't see it as being redundant. So, even though you are technically correct in considering your editing to be the removing my categories to eliminate redundancy, it makes it less likely that a reader will find connected topics because a category is removed. There are no guidelines regarding the redundancy of categories. It shouldn't be a problem. It may be your preference, I understand. Categories are 'finding aids' to help readers connect topics. I would prefer that you not remove categories, but if you do, I understand. There are so many editors on WP going around checking up on the edits of others. You are a notable content creator and WP would be better if content creation continues instead of changing things that don't necessarily need to be 'fixed'.
 * Respectfully and With The Very Best of Regards,

 * Hi, I feel you may have missed WP:SUBCAT which specifically indicates that "an article should be categorised as low down in the category hierarchy as possible, without duplication in parent categories above it. In other words, a page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category... For example, the article "Paris" need only be placed in "Category:Cities in France", not in both "Category:Cities in France" and "Category:Populated places in France". Because the first category (cities) is in the second category (populated places), readers are already given the information that Paris is a populated place in France by it being a city in France." That's what I mean by redundant. This is the basic system of categorization for wikipedia, so it's not really a matter of personal preference. Thanks. - Themightyquill (talk) 06:32, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Aside from just quoting the rules at you, I should point out that categories only work as a finding aid if the narrowest category is applied. Surely, if we put Australia Marches with Britain directly into Category:World War II (instead of or along with Category:Australian World War II propaganda films) it might be more easily found. But if we put all of the articles related to WWII in Category:World War II, it would make the category so full as to be less useful as a finding aid. - Themightyquill (talk) 06:36, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * If you are trying to improve the visibility of certain archives by listing them together with other archives, a list would be a more appropriate method. See Categories, lists, and navigation templates. - Themightyquill (talk) 06:38, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation. I have to admit that I am not that familiar with the subcat guidelines but I can understand completely why editors correct my categorizations. But then again...I still think like a reader. You get more connections with as many categories as makes sense. Since my categories are not usually overly populated, I would expect some redundancy. I will stop 'whining' about it. I do like the should in the "...a page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and subcategory...." Should doesn't mean must and I like being bold. I hope you can see my smile - it is pleasant to communicate with you.
 * The Best of Regards,
 * Barbara (WVS) ✐   ✉  10:19, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

The rest of the guidelines offer examples of when this might not apply. None of these exceptions apply to the archives category/categories you have eddited. Again, it's not a matter of personal preference. I certainly don't object to your being bold, but that doesn't justify keeping an incorrectly added category. - Themightyquill (talk) 11:10, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for tagging your accidental category for deletion. I deleted it under WP:G7 and removed the discussion, because it seemed easier that way.

I noticed that you added a request for images to a few candy articles.

 * Nothing wrong with the existing photos of the wrappers, but images of the actual chocolate would be nice. I think I included that in the requests. -- Themightyquill (talk) 11:02, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of North Star Hotel


The article North Star Hotel has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No indication or evidence of notability. Building appears to be gone, and this article indicates it was little more than a squat."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Arrow Cross Party
Hi there. I'm a lowly editor concerned about recent, consistent attempts to edit Arrow Cross Party so as to make the party appear more sympathetic (or less unsympathetic). I see you have made some reasoned contributions to a debate on the talk page about the nomenclature of the party's ideology. User:KIENGIR has consistently opposed efforts to label it "fascist" in the box at the top right of the article, and has been successful, as it currently says only "Hungarist." I agree with you in that every source I can find in a few minutes of online research labels the party fascist. As far as I'm concerned, the label "Hungarist" can stay, but to label it ONLY Hungarist is misleading and pointlessly narrow. I wonder whether, as senior editor, you can step in and do something about this. I would be happy to provide sources if that would help.Hirschjoshua (talk) 03:13, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
