Speedy renaming of Washington Metro Stations in Washington, D.C.

Just to let you know, I've nominated Category:Washington Metro Stations in Washington, D.C. for a speedy renaming. I've done this in order to bring it in line with naming conventions. The capital "S" in "Stations" is against naming conventions (see WP:NC for a full description of Wikipedia's naming conventions), and the speedy rename will fix it. Don't worry - mistakes happen, and after the rename occurs in 48 hours, a bot will fix the links. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

VA baseball teams

The "Baseball teams in Virginia" category is only for professional teams, not semi or amateur teams. Please refrain from adding it to the amateur teams. JaMikePA (talk) 18:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

The category was created by me for existing pro teams only. Perhaps when I have more time, I will change the name to Pro Teams in (state).JaMikePA (talk) 19:39, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

December 2008

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Skyline Drive, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. (not trying to template a regular- but adding information with the minor tag isn't a good idea) tedder (talk) 04:37, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Moving a link at Hughes River

What was that all about? I think your change left the page a little messy. Can you give me a reason why to not make it look neater by putting it back the way it was? Thanks WVhybrid (talk) 01:44, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:HRflag.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HRflag.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:11, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Re. Martinsville Bulletin

Given that you're creating a new article (so there is no issue with attributing old revisions) and the existing article is just a redirect (and doesn't seem to have been deleted previously), you can simply go ahead and overwrite the redirect with your new article. However, please make sure the subject matter is sufficiently notable before creating the article. Thanks. wctaiwan (talk) 04:35, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia won't let me create the article because of the redirect.JeffConn (talk) 04:55, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Yes, you were probably right to use the requested moves process given the circumstances. Since the request didn't show up properly, I thought you were creating a brand new article. I've asked an administrator to move the draft for you. wctaiwan (talk) 05:12, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Towns in Virginia

That template is meant for limited cases where we're not supposed to split out the contents, e.g. "Women politicians" sometimes aren't supposed to be split out from politicians. The template was added by a single user, acting without consensus and without regard for our standards; it is not enforceable, and as you can see from the first paragraph in the fourth page of LC's intro] to LCSH, putting the same item in multiple levels of the same tree within a single thesaurus is deprecated. Any guide to classification will tell you that this in unhelpful; please don't persist in disrupting 90 pages with inappropriate categories. Nyttend (talk) 22:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Once again, the template was added by an isolated editor, without consensus for the action; in contrast to your claim that it's always been there, this category was in existence for more than nine years before it got added. Moreover, it's incompatible with the WP:DUPCAT policy on this subject — "all included" categories are meant for when a subgroup has "some special characteristic of interest" (of course this applies when two or more such subgroups exist), and merely subdividing the entire group geographically is not at all the same. Consider a by-state subdivision: would it be appropriate to include this template on Category:Towns in the United States and include all towns in all forty states (not fifty, since ten states don't have towns) in the category, as well as including them in the subcategories? This is the same situation. Nyttend (talk) 01:22, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
