Hello, Aidan721,
I was wondering why you emptied most but not all of these college soccer team season categories. Did you just remove categories from Redirect pages or is this a more complicated recategorization? Thanks for any explanation you can provide. Liz Read! Talk! 19:53, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Liz: I removed the categories from the many redirect pages. It seems some user went crazy creating a redirect for every team over the past few years. –Aidan721 (talk) 20:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
- I thought that was what you were doing when I went to look at some of the pages that were removed from these categories. The situation was even worse than you describe, the editor made a redirect for each soccer team season, especially from the years 2019-2021. They could probably all go to WP:RFDif I was more comfortable making huge bundled nominations but I'm not. Luckily the editor didn't make redirect pages for every year these college teams played in soccer competitions, just some recent seasons. As for categories, I know we have a few that only contain redirect pages (especially in the "songs by artist" categories) but I think they are generally allowed by policy. It doesn't make sense though to have a whole category tree populated only by redirect pages since categorization on redirects is done so sporadically and inconsistently.

I speedily processed the category two days ago, but ir was wrong, because it is not about Dutch diaspora, but about Dutch Caribbean. I have now moved it back. If you think splitting is needed this should be done at CFD. Thanks. Ymblanter (talk) 06:55, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Aidan. You've recently added a number of articles about criminal and/or terrorist attacks to categories covering "Disasters in Ireland". These
- Hi, I appreciate the comment. Category:Terrorist incidents and Category:Attacks fall under Category:Disasters. These articles definitely belong in Category:Disasters in Ireland by year.

Category:Identical triplets for cases where all three triples have wiki articles, but there is no article for the group
Hello, I'm asking about your revert to edits on triplets Leila Luik, Liina Luik, and Lily Luik. Each individual in that group is most often covered as a triplet; it's a defining characteristic about them. I asked the user who made the comment about removing the category from individuals here, and they said that it is a gray area and that I should contact you. So I don't think that the deletion decision was to remove all individuals from the categories, because in the decision it only said "purge" with no comments about individuals. I think you would need another CfD to say that individuals definitively do not belong, so I will add them back in the mean time. What do you think? --Habst (talk) 17:19, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Texas has 254 counties. There are apparently about 80 baseball players from Texas not diffused by county. Only 97 counties have been diffused.

Hi there. I declined the speedy on these because I think there are some inherent problems with the proposed name change that should be discussed at CFD. For example, I prefer Category:Real estate and property developers by populated place in the United States over Category:American real estate and property developers because "American" is a nationality descriptor not a location descriptor. There are many non-Americans who live and work in the United States on a long-term basis but never become US citizens. Likewise there are Americans who live and work outside of the United States. That is why the other naming convention is better in this context when we are sorting people by where they live and practice an occupation. Best.4meter4 (talk) 06:49, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

Category:Lithanian people by populated place
Hi there. I see you were involved in the renaming of this category, but I think you might want to take a look at its name. Currently it is located at Category:Lithanian people by populated place. However, Lithanian should be spelled as Lithuanian. Mac Tíre Cowag 15:27, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks! typo... I'll speedy list it to the correct spelling. –Aidan721 (talk) 15:28, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- I kind of figured it was something like that. I know I've done my share of typos... Thank you, and all the best. Mac Tíre Cowag 03:22, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
Introduced error on Template:(Dis)establishments in year category header
Your changes to Template:(Dis)establishments in year category header today appear to have introduced an unclosed bolding error to 2500+ category pages. Would you have a second look and iron that out? Thank you. Zinnober9 (talk) 23:16, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

More standard Template:2022 SEC baseball record vs. opponent
You originally replaced what was the more standard table some years back, for where it was used. The table I put in has been used extensively spanning more than 10 years for Southeastern Conference baseball, hundreds of pages, and more recently on softball. The table used extensively for Major League Baseball for decades, possibly over a thousand pages, is neither identical to your table or mine, but displays won lost records like mine and has less info like yours. What is more standard? What difference does it make what is more standard? As far as being larger, it provides more info like series won & lost and sweeps & being swept and has had templates expanded recursively, greatly reducing CPU time required. Actually I was expanding templates recursively 2024 going back in time, in preparation for adding Oklahoma & Texas for 2025, when I came to 2022. As far as correcting your table, it is very, very difficult for me to even identify exactly what needs to change. It made sense to me to just use what I knew was correct. I would think it would make no sense to just revert something that is correct back to something that is incorrect. You don't seem to keen on correcting it yourself.

- The extra information included in those tables is just WP:OR by looking at the sources and should not be included. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:55, 27 February 2025 (UTC)]
- Near the top of your reference, WP:OR, "This page in a nutshell: ... Simple calculations are not original research. ... " The series won–lost and sweeps–times swept are determined by counting to a number ten or less. If that's not simple calculations, I'm not sure what would be. Jay Jor (talk) 17:17, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- The won–lost entries for one team against another, e.g., 3–0, 2–1, etc. is not at the reference for your table, nor at mine, so that also requires counting, but to a number of three or less. Granted three is less than ten, but seriously? Jay Jor (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- True. Fair enough. I'm not going to go to war over whether to use Module:Sports results or a custom table for the SEC season articles. But I will say I prefer the former because it's lighter in bytes, offers easy transclusion to other articles, and creates a consistent UX across different leagues and sports for readers to expect, while also aligning itself with Module:Sports table. –Aidan721 (talk) 14:19, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

T20WC templates category
The guideline says, "Categories are organized as overlapping trees, formed by creating links between inter-related categories" thus, 2026 T20WC templates cat would be sub-cat of both T20WC templates cat and 2026 T20WC cat. Vestrian24Bio 08:00, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- WP:CAT#T states:]
Templates are not articles, and thus do not belong in content categories.
I don't know why you can't comprehend this. –Aidan721 (talk) 12:44, 30 March 2025 (UTC)- Oh, I see now; but, that means there are many more cricket template categories to sort through; I'll handle some as well, when I get the time; Thanks! Vestrian24Bio 12:58, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletions
Hello, Aidan721,
Rather than leaving a one word abbreviation deletion rationale like "WP:NSPORT", please write complete sentences explaining why an article warrants deletion. It's helpful to identify the policy you believe the article fails but a little more context makes the situation more straight-forward for editors or admins who are reviewing your nomination. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 20:35, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Murder categories
Hello, Aidan721,
I've noticed that over the past week, you have removed articles for murder victims and murderers out of categories for "Murder". I understand that these biographical articles don't belong in a category for a Murder, in general, but please recategorize them so that the articles are somehow designated as articles for criminals or for crime victims.
I know this recategorization has resulted in you creating new categories but I just wanted to encourage this. Remove a category, add a category! I think this recatgorization is a good step but I don't want all of these articles to fall through the cracks because, in most cases, the murder is THE defining feature and why we have an article on these individuals. This is an enormous project to take on when these categories cover many different countries over decades so thank you and good luck! Liz Read! Talk! 18:52, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, Aidan721,
- I just wanted to check in with you. While I was working tagging all of those murder and crime categories over the past few weeks, I read quite a few of the articles involved with killers, trials and victims you were recategorizing in order to understand your category changes and it resulted in a small bout of depression and bad dreams.
- Maybe you are better than I am at separating what you read in your Wikipedia work from your random thoughts in your mind and memory but you might want to spend some time working on articles about less gruesome subjects. Maybe historical subjects or sports and entertainment, just nothing involved with brutality and violence. Just a suggestion. Thanks for all of your contributions to the project and helping us get the categories in order. Liz Read! Talk! 01:20, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
