Empty categories
Many of the categories you marked as empty and needing to be deleted are intended to have pages in them in the future. – Adrignola talk 04:23, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, I've stopped for the moment; sorry if there were any false positives involved. Thanks for telling me. Could you do me a favor, in the future, so I don't forget when I go through the list of UnusedCategories again, which categories are meant to be used? We could have w:Template:Empty category imported here for that use. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 04:27, 7 January 2011 (UTC)


 * A good idea. I can state that "... recipes" are for the Cookbook, "... users" are for userbox users, and "... -quality * pages" are for WikiProjects.  These three types could suddenly see themselves as empty at any time based on users' actions or refiling of pages.  I know that template is meant to address that, but it will have to be added to many of them. In the meantime I at least hope to help you to become familiar with some of our tracking categories.  I've thought about other category templates as well that might be useful.  I'm about to retire for the night, so I'll have to take care of importing and placing that tomorrow. – Adrignola talk 04:48, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

don't bite the newcomers
. This account is clearly not a "cross-wiki vandal." She is a student enrolled in a Howard Community College class that uses Wikiversity, ENES100. She has only edited Wikibooks and Wikiversity, and used a form designed for ENES-100. See v:User:Medelen8/ENES100, the instructor's user page which lists her as a student.

If I had not seen you jump so quickly to a "cross-wiki vandal" conclusion before, I'd just pass this off as a simple mistake, but you have done this many times. Stop it! At worst, that page was utterly harmless, in user space. The user may have intended to create the page on Wikiversity, that's possible. However, I prefer to tolerate a hundred useless pages than to see one newcomer harassed. --76.28.31.199 (discuss) 00:32, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Did you mean to log in? (I think I have an idea of who you are based on this, but please don't accuse me of stalking - just checked global edits. Local admin or steward or even I have the ability to hide the edit if you wish.)  I agree that this tagging was inappropriate. TCNSV, please be more careful with deletion tagging. Regards, PiRSquared17 (discuss • contribs) 00:38, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks PRS. Yes, it was me, and, looking at global contributions for that IP, obviously I've done more IP editing than I thought. Looks like I even did some "ban evasion." I'd have thought I didn't do that, but, apparently, habits die hard. I read Wikipedia all the time, and, apparently, when I see some spelling correction, I may not remember where I am, I just do it.... Usually, autoblock, from autologin, will tell me immediately that I can't edit, but apparently, not always. Of course, that didn't matter here.
 * "Stalking" is what I expect a wide-awake administrator or user seriously interested in the health of the wikis to do. That is, you see something suspicious or curious, you check. Don't worry about revision deletion, and thanks for the offer. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 02:43, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Whoa whoa whoa there, why do you have to stalk me across the wikis now? Let's keep the discussion on one place - say the coordinating wiki that is Meta Wiki and my talkpage there - this habitual fragmenting of discussions located across several wikis is disruptive. And it's not just because I rarely edit here, nor am I a member of Wikibooks's community, but seeing "you have new messages" everywhere is pretty annoying. As for the page, I have no idea why that page was tagged for speedy deletion, nor why I did it in the first place. I know it's a legitimate page based on my observations on English Wikiversity. Apologies for appearances of misconduct, but I agree with PiRSquared17 and I have no clue as to how that was in my contributions in the first place.

 * TCNSV, you are a cross-wiki user, with a strong tendency to bite newcomers. I am now monitoring your cross-wiki contributions, something you obviously do for many users. In this case, it's fairly obvious to me what you saw. You saw the same text added to two wikis, and assumed it was vandalism. You have done similarly with other users, sometimes you request a global lock, long before that would be appropriate. (You also correctly identify many vandals.)
 * No, this was an action here and I handled it as an action here, this is not for meta. If you don't want those annoying notifications, be more careful. Yes, there are other comments I've made cross-wiki, on your recent actions.
 * It is obvious that you tag pages for speedy deletion without notifying the user, as was the case here and elsewhere recently. That is legitimate only for blatant vandalism. It appears that this is about is gathering as many edits and "useful actions" as possible, I recently found your behavior on this going back to 2010, when you were identified by a steward as a user who does this, carelessly, and who revert wars and becomes uncivil, and were blocked for three months on Simple. You just reverted my removal of your "crosswiki vandalism" speedy deletion tag on Beta. You corrupt the speedy deletion process when you do that. Speedy deletion is for uncontested deletion. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 13:35, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Abd, I don't appreciate some of the combative tone that you've taken up recently with your remarks. I've made nary less than a hundred contributions to Wikibooks and you are quick to call me out on it. It was one speedy deletion tag, that even I thought was inappropriate! Perhaps it was a bug, or a deletion request meant for somebody else. You cannot presume to know my intentions just from the deletion tag alone. It's one mistaken tag out of maybe 50 other tags I've done, it's not going to break Wikibooks. What have you accomplished in the meantime? Just drop it, please! I've tried to leave you alone ever since you left Meta, but it's becoming quickly intolerable. You know the new messages banner annoy me, you know how to deliberately get under another person's skin, and you know how a person determines what constitutes harassment to him, so why continue to engage in the activity? I'm sure the Wikibooks community would not appreciate you dragging this dramafest over to their wiki as well. TeleComNasSprVen (discuss • contribs) 16:06, 5 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Endless and useless argument. If you want it dropped, stop explaining how right you are and how wrong I am, at length. Just drop it. There is a basic issue here, and it's not personal, and it has dogged you for years. I can and do infer intention from actions; we are here looking at one action, I've been looking at many. It's not a proof, it's merely inference. Nobody is chasing you with sticks. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 23:18, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
