The article Old Furnace Wildlife Area has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - Vivvt (Talk) 20:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Hello! Thanks for taking on some work on flora categories. You may have noticed, however, that I undid at least one of your edits. You may not have been aware that Category:Flora of North America is a category that we usually like to keep WP:DIFFUSED. It's also especially not helpful when the category is added to pages like Sarracenia alata where the page is already categorized in the most-specific flora categories (by state or by subregion). It'd be great if you could be careful in the future on this point. I'll likely undo a few more of your edits that I've seen, specifically to pages I watch on Sarracenia, Drosera, and Utricularia that I thought were already in state flora categories. But perhaps you can go back through your edits and help diffuse the growing Category:Flora of North America into their appropriate subcategories, too. Thanks! Rkitko (talk) 11:38, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for cleaning up a few. I've reverted the rest of the Sarracenia, Drosera, and Utricularia I could find, but I noticed your recent contributions have not heeded my advice above. You added Category:Flora of North America to Erythronium tuolumnense, which is noted in the article to be endemic to California and is even categorized in Category:Endemic flora of California, which is a child category of Category:Flora of California, a child of Category:Flora of the United States by state, a child of Category:Flora of the United States, which is ultimately a child of Category:Flora of North America. This category tree or structure is sometimes hard to follow, but it's pretty clear that if a plant is categorized in the most specific category, it should not be categorized in the much broader categories, such as the Flora of North America one. This is WP:Overcategorization. Please go back through your edits and undo the unproductive ones that have resulted in the unnecessary expansion of Category:Flora of North America in cases where the articles are already categorized in subcategories of that broad parent category. Thank you, Rkitko (talk) 03:17, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Nightphoenix90, Please continue cleaning up the overcat use of Category:Flora of North America. Some that have been long under Category:Endemic flora of California and of other states received your whole continent overcat recently. I've been cleaning up those in my specialties. I appreciate your numerous corrections, though many have been to the 'slightly less general' Category:Flora of the United States. If you can, and articles indicate a specific U.S. subregion distribution, please consider the U.S. flora subcategories, such as Category:Flora of the Northwestern United States (and Eastern, Western, Northeastern, Southeastern, Southwestern, + etc.). With encouragement, thank you—Look2See1 t a l k → 05:08, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
- Please help Category:Astragalus species pages with the Flora of North America overcats, thanks—Look2See1 t a l k → 05:27, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
Category:Flora of the United States
[edit]Hi Nightphoenix90, When you have time, could you please revert your June 2013 edits with the overcat of Category:Flora of the United States? It would be especially helpful for those that already had the specific flora by U.S. region/states categories. Thank you for the numerous Category:Flora of North America reverts you have done. Best—Look2See1 t a l k → 23:43, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
WikiProject Environment article for review
[edit]Hi Nightphoenix90, I found your name on the list of participants at WikiProject Environment and see that you're very interested in environmental issues. I was wondering if you had a few minutes to look at a draft I've prepared for an article that falls under the scope of WikiProject Environment: The Climate Reality Project?
I have rewritten this article on behalf of The Climate Reality Project and for that reason will avoid all direct edits to the article. I have instead placed my revised draft in my user space for editors to review.
I left a more detailed note on the Talk page that explains several issues with the current version I have aimed to address. I have also proposed merging in the two articles on the organizations that joined to form The Climate Reality Project.
I hope reaching out to you on your Talk page is OK. I've tried posting at several WikiProjects in addition to WikiProject Environment, but haven't had much success yet. If you know of someone who might be interested in reviewing this, or a WikiProject I might have overlooked, please let me know. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 18:47, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
Flora of North America category, again
[edit]Hi, Nightphoenix90, I've noticed you're working in Category:Flora of North America again but your edits are a bit disruptive. I've had to revert a few, e.g. this one where you removed Category:Flora of North America and left the article categorized only in Category:Flora of the Southeastern United States. That isn't appropriate with this widely-distributed taxon that is native to most of North America. Please be more careful with your category edits. Cheers, Rkitko (talk) 21:51, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, it doesn't really make sense to add a broad category, e.g. "Flora of the Northwestern United States", and then add individual states. It's more logical to keep the categories at the same level within the WGSRPD system if at all possible. So for "Flora of the Northwestern United States" + "Flora of California", I would be inclined to use "Flora of the Northwestern United States" + "Flora of the Southwestern United States".
