Category:Freemasons

Please add pages into the sub-categories only rather than both the top category and the sub-category. It is unnecessary to add pages into both. Thanks. DrKiernan (talk) 10:59, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Category:Freemasons

Please only add this category when there is a reliably sourced mention of their freemason activities in the article text itself. Thanks. --Saddhiyama (talk) 18:37, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

March 2013

Hello, I'm Waywardhorizons. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Charles de Bernard de Marigny, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, waywardhorizons (talk) 19:05, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Freemasonry

Please put forward this kind of claims only when there you also add citations to reliable sources. Please read the relevant policy Wikipedia:Identifying_reliable_sources#Questionable_sources: Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, or promotional in nature. Questionable sources are generally unsuitable for citing contentious claims about third parties, which includes claims against persons living or dead. You will have to find reliable peer-reviewed secondary sources (i.e. scholarly sources that actually cite their own sources) to back up your claims. Thank you. --Omnipaedista (talk) 10:09, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Félix Éboué, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Resistance. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Freemasons

Please read the note at the top of Category:Freemasons, especially: " this Category should be added to articles on people who are notable for being Freemasons, but not to articles about those who are primarily notable for other things, and merely happen to have been (or currently are) Freemasons." Please follow this guideline, and do not add freemason categories to anybody who was not notable for being a freemason. Please revert all those out-of-scope additions. Thanks. Kraxler (talk) 15:51, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

The note was the result of a lengthy discussion, it's not my personal opinion. Please follow the guideline. I'm sorry to say that the discussion of your own opinion is irrelevant here. Please do not insist in adding the category to simple members of freemason lodges. Kraxler (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joseph Lakanal, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Moulins.
