[edit] Cricket categories

Please rememberer to assume good faith and to avoid making personal attacks. Comment on the content, not on the contributor. Edits made due to genuine disagreements should not be construed as vandalism. Please keep your cool, since personal attacks are damaging to the community. Thanks. - EurekaLott 15:14, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Jack breached etiquette by emptying a category in advance in support of a deletion nomination he planned to make. You are simply making a wild guess that I am not interested in cricket. I am a county member, I have been to test cricket every summer for the last 25 years and I have the ODI on right now. Chicheley 16:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

George, don't know when you'll be back on here but thanks for pointing out that this person actually did accuse me of bad faith. I've withdrawn my apology to him, which he does not deserve, and demanded one from him. As you yourself know, not to mention the other cricket people on here, I do everything for the benefit of the project and the readers. I cannot be bothered with pedantic, negative, convoluted procedures that hinder progress and provide access to people with no genuine interest in what we are doing. I haven't forgotten 1763 or Waymark(wasn't it?) and the trouble I had with the "deletion faction" over those. I'll show you the mail Tintin sent me re the trouble he, Sam and jguk have had with these people. All the best. --Jack 05:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

And this was pointed out to me by someone else so a few people have recognised the same piece of appalling behaviour. --GeorgeWilliams 07:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philatelist categories for Merger

Discussion Page Set Up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_July_30 so please be prepared to give additional views if required. --BlackJack | talk page 12:51, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I know you were in on this discussion but here is a message that I have posted to most of the project members. Hope you don't mind the duplication as I see User:BlackJack has already left you a message about the deletion already being up for deletion. I see that there are as usual some who just want to tow the line of country subcategories.

As a member of the Project Philately I would like to make you aware of a discussion about the Category:Philatelists that some of us have recently come to a consensus about. The discussion is here, but essentially a decision was made to try and remove all the subcategories that grouped the philatelists into country categories even though there are only just over 20 pages referenced and some of the subcategories had a few as 1 listing. Besides which, I would never go looking for a philatelist based on a country of origin, even if I knew it, I would look at the category for his/her name. Anyway, this is up for discussion now at a CfD, categories for deletion, page and I would appreciate if you would weigh in on the matter having first looked at the original discussion. I am sure you will see the benefit and logic of getting rid of these redundant subcategories and vote a Support for this. By way of reference, one of these subcategories was up for deletion a short time ago and basically all the non-philately people won the day, overriding the philatelic viewpoint. I am sure you would not want that to happen again. Do not delay as CfDs get dealt with fairly quickly. TIA ww2censor 20:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
