Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Metallica (album), please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. Hello, this particular article is well over 50 Kilobytes and is not a stub. Dawnseeker2000   20:49, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding stub categories to articles that are not stubs. This is not something that's beneficial to WP. Thank you, Dawnseeker2000   21:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey mr Dawnseeker2000 why can't i post stubs on any kind of music bands? if you can get this message?


 * A good amount of the articles you classified as stubs were not stubs. They were a variety of different size and class of articles. Only add stub templates if the articles are truly stubs. Dawnseeker2000   21:17, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

i don't get it... why does it matter i was only trying to add more music albums into the articles into called music stub bands if you understand me not trying to argue i just need to understand why can't they be added into the article ?? I see some bands that have articles that says stubs and whatnot


 * You were adding stub templates to articles. Articles are assessed by their quality (size has a small part in this, hence the term stub). Assessment helps the organization and improvement of articles and the goal is to get many articles up to featured article status. Now there's another process that occurrs with articles also that is closely related to what you were doing: Categorization. With categories, we are able to divide articles into groups of similar topics.


 * So what you were doing was adding stub categories (see how closely these two processes are?). But what was wrong with everything you had done was that nearly all of the stub templates you had added to articles were not appropriate because the articles were not stubs. They had already been assessed as other classes (higher classes like Start, C, B, GA, A, and FA).
