[edit] Stub types

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created several new stub types. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of your new stub types, three of them are already covered by existing stub types, two of them are not named according to stub naming guidelines, none of them have dedicated category links, and three of them cross other existing stub standards (stub types are -with very few exceptions - created using curent national names). One of your new stub types is currently listed at WP:WSS/D; the other three have been listed for deletion at WP:SFD - please feel free to make any comments there about these stub types. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 06:09, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
