July 2024

Hello! Thank you for creating Category:Catholic dioceses in Poland. However, we normally need at least three pages in a category before it is created. Because categories are a way to group together similar articles, there is no need to create a new category for just one or two articles. If you think there might be more pages to add to the new category, please add them now. Thank you. MathXplore (talk) 01:25, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for changing Wikipedia. We welcome all changes, but we can have only changes that are in simple English, and your new changes were not simple. Please see Wikipedia:How to write Simple English pages so you can write more simply in the future. Thank you. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 09:36, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Re: Enviro400MMC discussion

Thank you, I did appreciate you were trying to help :) Do make sure to consider the tone of your message, I appreciate you are en-2 so you might not have been aware, but by saying Please pay attention to this., that suggests almost as though this is an issue they have been ignoring, or that they might not be focusing while editing. Even saying something like "Please keep this in mind" is probably an improvement here. Even though it means roughly the same thing, it doesn't have the same negative connotations as not paying attention does. Thanks, --Ferien (talk) 18:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

@Ferien, Of course, I will keep this in mind. Because I'm only en-2, I may have some unclear/inappropriate statements, but it will improve over time. Thank you for bringing this to my attention :). Best regards, BZPN (talk) 18:48, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello, BZPN! Here at Simple English Wikipedia we use the section heading "Related pages" instead of English Wikipedia's "See also", which you used in "Chasuble". This makes it simpler and easier to read. Please remember to use "Related pages" in articles that you create in the future. Thank you for your help! - FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 07:51, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

@FusionSub, "Related pages" has a more difficult meaning than "See also". This is illogical, and for me personally on en-2 "See also" is easier than "Related pages". Can you provide an editing guideline/policy on which you make this claim? BZPN (talk) 07:57, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

@BZPN It is listed at WP:MOS.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 10:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

User talk:143.44.164.223

There is a reason why I declined deleting this: talk pages are not normally reader-facing pages, they are used by the editors of the wiki, anonymous or registered. If the talkpage was created solely for the purposes of vandalism (e.g. racist rants, personal attacks, disturbing images, etc), then I'd definitely consider deleting it. In addition, this edit was definitely not a test edit. It is perfectly fine for an IP user to add talk page templates to their own talk page. It is even fine, in my opinion, to do perform a limited amount of test edits on your own talkpage. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:26, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

To add, I'm not going to decline twice, but you should consider that deleting user talk pages is rarely done here. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:26, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Fehufanga: the user is blocked; they don't need a blank talk page. Do you even think about WMF and keeping unnecessary and space-taking content? If something doesn't make sense, why leave it? BZPN (talk) 10:31, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@BZPN When an admin deletes a page on the wiki, the actual contents are not permanently deleted from the servers. No storage space is freed up by me deleting the user talk page. How do I know this? Because as an administrator, I can see all deleted pages. Page deletion only hides the content from normal users. Only in egregious cases, often involving illegal content, do the WMF sysadmins delete content off their servers permanently. In addition, the size of the talk page is trivial compared to the rest of the Wiki, not to mention that human-generated text is one of the most easily compressible content out there. No storage is freed by deleting the talk page.

The talk page's contents itself do no harm, nor was it testing. Some IP users that become active here do end up having active talk pages and may choose to welcome other editors to their talk page using the {{talk header}} template (which is perfectly fine to use on a user talk page, be they anonymous or registered). I blocked the user for reasons other than creating that talk page. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:35, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Fehufanga, I see, thank you. Have a nice day. BZPN (talk) 11:19, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

User_talk:Koavf#Signature

I think you should just stop there. You expressed your opinion and multiple people have disagreed with it. Just leaving it there is the best choice. The signature doesn't violate policy, and that should have been the end of that conversation.--BRP ^ever 15:39, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
