State mottos change

I don’t believe the state mottos require stand alone articles. It doesn’t seem that they have such articles on English Wikipedia. Why do they need separate articles? Why can’t the information instead be at the List of state mottos article or the individual state articles? Only (talk) 23:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi only, what is achieved by deleting the articles? ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) 00:13, 1 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm trying to figure out what is gained by having them in the first place. Can you look at the questions I asked in my first post and explain the rationale in having these articles? Thanks, Only (talk) 00:31, 1 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Only: Alright. I will only create the state mottos that are on enwiki. ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) 03:14, 1 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Category:Articles using small message boxes change

Thank you for creating this category. Please note that when you create a maintenance category, there is often a standard way to set it up so that it is categorized correctly and has the appropriate notices at the top of the page. I have just changed the setup for this category, so you can see how it should be set up. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. Thanks. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:30, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Auntof6, thanks for letting me know. ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) 12:38, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Creating categories change

Hello, and thanks for creating categories here. I have a couple of tips that will help you create better categories.

  • When you create a category, please make sure that it doesn't already exist under a different name. For example, you created Category:U.S. Territories. However, this category already existed with the name Category:Territories of the United States. I redirected the one you created.
  • Another comment about the one mentioned above: most of the time abbreviations are not used in article or category names. That is why the existing category is not called "Territories of the US". Most words should be spelled out in page names.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Auntof6, thank you for the message. I will keep this in mind next time. ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) 12:41, 6 August 2020 (UTC)Reply


Stubs with Twinkle change

Hi! How are you using Twinkle to add stubs? I mainly use it for fighting vandals and I didn't know I can use it for this purpose, haha. — Infogapp1 (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Infogapp1, if you are on an article, just click the "TW" menu, and click the "stub" option to add stub tags. I'm hoping to become a patroller one day, so in terms of content creation and page reviewing, this is a really helpful tool. Best, ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) (remember to {{ping}} me) |email me/talk page 22:41, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Infogapp1, no problem! ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) (remember to {{ping}} me) |email me/talk page 22:46, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

August 2020 change

  Hello! Thank you for creating Category:Camellia. 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. Auntof6 (talk) 03:27, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Auntof6, please give me at least a day. I have to go to bed soon. ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) (remember to {{ping}} me) |email me/talk page 04:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
  Done ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) (remember to {{ping}} me) |email me/talk page 22:31, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply


Thank you for your hard work! change

  The Categorisation Barnstar
Thank you for your dedication in categorising and making it easy for readers to find relevant articles. Also, thank you for the heads up on the stub magic that TW can do. - Infogapp1 (talk) 00:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Infogapp1, no prob! Thanks :-) ~Prahlad balaji (t / c) (remember to {{ping}} me) |email me/talk page 00:32, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Empty monthly clean up categories change

These categories are designed to add themselves to CSD when empty. If that's not happening, let me know and I'll look into it. Rich Farmbrough, 11:38, 18 August 2020 (UTC).Reply
