British categories
Thank you for tracing and fixing the emptying of Motorsport in the United Kingdom by year etc, sparked by my inserting a line for (pre-1801) "Great Britain" in Module:CountryAdjectiveDemonym/Adjectives, with the result "British", for the sake of Category:1800 crimes in Great Britain. I had not realised that this would cause a clash, since that table is used in both directions, and British is required for United Kingdom.
@Liz: this explains why you found unexpectedly empty categories. – Fayenatic London 22:27, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
So, I have kind of an odd question for you...
I noticed that you undid some vandalism in Rebel Wilson using ClueBot NG with this edit. And I'm wondering...just how in the world did you do that?!? Thanks in advance, Shearonink (talk) 17:07, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Shearonick, I don't think Bearcat made that edit. It was done by a bot. This user account is a bot operated by Cobi (talk), Rich Smith (talk), and DamianZaremba (talk). It is used to make repetitive automated or semi-automated edits that would be extremely tedious to do manually, in accordance with the bot policy. The bot is approved and currently active – the relevant request for approval can be seen here.. Sorry to butt in. --Malerooster (talk) 17:30, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, my mistake...thanks Malerooster. I read too quickly and took the "to version by Bearcat" wrongly. So. Any friendly talkpage stalkers understand how ClueBot NG actually does that? It can be set to keep an eye on articles? The things I keep learning around here... Shearonink (talk) 17:40, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- No problem, and I have no clue how clue bot does it, lol. --Malerooster (talk) 18:03, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Cluebot watches all articles, or rather edits to them. Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ClueBot NG should give some idea of how it works - like any bot it has to get permission to run on Wikipedia, and there were questions asked at the time about the level of false positive it was likely to have, though that edit looks to me like a good revert.

Please help me.
Hello Bearcat. Hope you and yours are well. Regarding the revision history [1] of the Stacy Arthur article @ 13:57, 7 February 2023, in removing the tag, “update after|2002|2” you noted, “no redlinked categories; only categories that actually exist are permitted”. I am ignorant regarding use of update tags and don’t understand the comment. Could you teach me and explain? Thanks in advance for your help and kind regards, Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 17:12, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
- Bearcat (1) Would “Update inline|date=February 2023|reason=result of litigation needed” be of any use? (2) Is there something dealing with overdue updates to information that's 20 years out of date? Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 17:45, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
Freedom Party of British Columbia
Hi Bearcat, you have recently restored the previous version of 'Freedom Party of British Columbia' overriding the latest informaiton about this party. As a matter of fact the older party are de-registered in 2009 and a new party with this name has been registered in 2023. Here are the current registered parties on Elections BC Government Website: https://elections.bc.ca/docs/fin/Registered-Political-Parties-Information.pdf May I know why did you restore the older version? Thanks! 184.65.167.219 (talk) 03:20, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
Esther Kuhn
Hi Bearcat,
I hope you are doing very well!
you have reviewed the article on [Esther Kuhn] - thank you for that - and I was wondering why it hasn't been published yet. Maybe you can help me. Thank you so much. All the best to you in the beautiful city of LA. ElleAlba ElleAlba (talk) 08:41, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Could you take a look at a recent page move?
Hi Bearcat, An editor has just moved the page "Comparison of the healthcare systems in Canada and the United States" to Comparison of the healthcare systems in the United States and Canada, for the reason that "US tends to go before Canada when named together". I've never heard of any such tendency, and frankly, it sounds like a US-centric approach. Doesn't the principle that how the original editor did things should normally stand, apply to the name of an article as well? It's had that name for a long time, and I don't think something should be moved just to suit an editor's personal preference. Thanks. (Since the move created a redirect, I don't think I have the authority to change it.) Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 20:53, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
- Wow - that was fast. Thanks! Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 21:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
Change of title
Hi Bearcat greetings. I could see you have 19 yrs of experience here, need your advice on artist - Bright, which I have taken as subject to learn wiki writting. I understand his professional complete name Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree as how Thai people name themselves. However his incomplete name is mentioned here. How one could change the main title of the subject? BrightsForever (talk) 01:35, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
