Category:LGBT comedians from England

Hi, Thanks for joining wikipedia and I hope you enjoy your time here.

I've nominiated for deletion here. This is on the grounds of the editing guideline Wikipedia:Overcategorization and Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality. As your new here you might not be up to speed with the many guidelines we have here and its worth familiarizing yourself with these. You are welcome to the discussion. It might be an idea to slow up on your categorisation work until the discussion has run its course, it would be a shame for your work to be undone.--Salix (talk): 19:03, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Hoaxes

Hoaxes like the addition of "He died June 2012 after duelling with a polar bear" to a biography of a living person are not funny at all. Even if you remove them yourself later. Don't do something like that again, please. Amalthea 18:18, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

I restored to an earlier version to remove other hoax material in the categories section etc and that was the last thing i noticed needing removed. Before I worked on the article it had far more hoax and joke material in it. Please check diffs before accusing.MaybeMaybeMaybe (talk) 18:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Notice the difference. The fake/unsourced nick name and hoax/fake categories which you left in the article are now gone. MaybeMaybeMaybe (talk) 18:24, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

I see! My sincere apologies, absolutely my mistake! Amalthea 18:29, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks very much :) Just glad we got it all cleared up quickly.MaybeMaybeMaybe (talk) 18:32, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci

I don't think that the creation of a separate category, at this point in time was a good move. There are very few individual drawings that merit a separate article., and carving them off from the category "Works by Leonardo da Vinci" is not a good way to go.

I want to comment that as a new editor, you need to confer with the regular writers of the articles before making a major change to their categorisation. A minor change would entail adding a work to an extra category such as Renaissance drawings of women (I don't know if such a category exists). But the major category in this case is obviously Works by Leonardo da Vinci, and you have set to and removed several works without, as far as I know, any discussion.

Amandajm (talk) 12:03, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Scrub this.

I have observed that Drawings is coming up as a subcategory on the Works page. That's an OK solution! My apologies!

Amandajm (talk) 12:08, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Glad everything is OK. I thought that when some were divided by medium there may as well be one for drawings arranged in the same way.MaybeMaybeMaybe (talk) 12:17, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Category:Androgynous individuals

Sorry to revert your addition to Annie Lennox without any discussion. But facing similar problems of validity here, I was wondering if could you clarify whether or not you think that a WP:RS, in which a person is unambigously described as "androgynous", must be provided before that category can be added to their article. Thanks? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:31, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I would say that I would judge it like other categories and say the main thing is that the category is backed up by text in the main body of the article. Would these be OK as refs to then add the category to Lennox?[1][2] MaybeMaybeMaybe (talk) 15:59, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I'd be hard pressed to think of better ones. But my only gripe is that there should be no room for personal judgement - the description, together with sources like those two, should already be in the article. Many thanks. Annie sometimes looks more of a man that I'll ever be :( Martinevans123 (talk) 16:22, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

School rolls

Why add these? What do they add? And why add an incomplete one to the DGS page? Before adding them you should seek a consensus at the project, and work them up in a sandbox until they are reasonably complete. --John (talk) 20:48, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

As you have suggested Ihave moved the DGS table out and I am filling it out in a sandbox for now.MaybeMaybeMaybe (talk) 21:04, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

CAT:Gay royalty

I have reverted 4 edits of yours adding a redlinked category while removing a bluelinked one which gives the impression of vandalism. You obviously are doing this as part of a largeer content effort. Please take some time to evaluate any feedback given in this area of content. Agathoclea (talk) 18:47, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
