Did you get any concensus before creating Category:Transportation in mainland China, and reorganising the entire hieracy in China-related articles?--Huaiwei 00:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- What do you mean? Michael G. Davis 00:35, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Do you know what concensus-building is in wikipedia before effecting your edits?--Huaiwei 00:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- (I guess you are talking about consensus.) Why? Is consensus required to write "There has only been one female PM in Canadian history", for example? Michael G. Davis 17:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- As a matter of fact, yes.--Huaiwei 22:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Is consensus required to write "Lee Hsien Long is the third prime minister in Singaporean history since independence?" Michael G. Davis 19:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yes of course.--Huaiwei 21:45, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Why? Michael G. Davis 20:21, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Because this is wikipedia.--Huaiwei 13:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Why is it necessary? Do we need consensus to write in an article about the Moon that it goes round the Earth? Michael G. Davis 21:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion
There is no template cfd-speedy. "Categories that qualify for speedy deletion (per WP:CSD, e.g. "patent nonsense" or "recreation") can be tagged with the regular speedy tags, such as {{db|reason}}, and no delay is required for these."
- The creation of categories putting things in "mainland China" has been rejected by the Wikipedia community. In all cases, those categories are more appropriate as PRC categories which already exist. Please don't edit war over this. SchmuckyTheCat 17:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Can you provide some details? To my understanding "mainland China", or its variants, has different meaning with "People's Republic of China". Michael G. Davis 17:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please provide some details. Or else undo your deletion as soon as possible. Michael G. Davis 18:50, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
