Hi. Would you mind explaining your statement that Liv Tyler is an Italian-American. There is no mention of it in the articles about her father or mother. DJ Clayworth 19:35, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Italian-American categories[edit]

Hello, I have listed two of your categories, Category:Italian-American jurists and Category:Italian-American activists, on Wikipedia:Categories for deletion, and I believe my reasons for doing so may apply to other categories that you have been working on. It would be great if you could add your comments to the deletion discussion page so we might understand why you created these and what you think they add to wikipedia. In the meantime, it might be better to refrain from working on these until there is a community resolution of whether these should stay, so as to prevent any wasted time. Thanks!

Italian-Canadian politicians[edit]

Firstly, members of many Canadian ethnic groups support politicians from their own communities. Italians are not unique in this regard. Secondly, we don't list Canadian politicians of any other cultural background in distinct "[Culture]-Canadian politicians" categories. There's no reason why Canadian politicians of Italian heritage should get special treatment that other groups don't get.

Any category that can simultaneously include Giuseppe Gori, Joe Fratesi, Rosario Marchese, Rick Fuschi, Alfonso Gagliano, Larry Di Ianni, Joe Peschisolido and Nick Discepola simply isn't telling me anything helpful about these people. They have no meaningful connection to each other. The category doesn't help me understand their ideology: Marchese's an NDPer and Fuschi's a neoconservative. It doesn't put them in an objective political context: Gagliano and Discepola are federal MPs, while Fuschi and Gori are party activists who've never held elected political office in their lives. It doesn't put them in a regional context: Gagliano's from Montreal and Peschisolido's from Vancouver. It doesn't even tell me that they identify with a cultural group that faces discrimination in Canadian society. All it tells me is that they're of Italian heritage, but for one thing, that isn't inherently meaningful information in the particular context of Canadian politics, and for another, 99% of the time I could already figure that out anyway, just by looking at their name.

I see that several other similar categories of yours have already been deleted, telling me that not everybody agrees with you on the value of these groupings. Judging by your posting history, you have no interest in Canadian politics other than reorganizing the articles to fit your larger agenda of subtopics for every loosely definable group of Italian-surnamed people you happen to find. Do you have any understanding of what's a key issue in Canadian politics and what isn't?

And anyway, the onus isn't on me to justify the category's lack of value; it's on you to justify why it is warranted. Bearcat 05:58, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello[edit]

Hi. Suffice 19:48, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Tina M[edit]

Hi: i noticed that you had hooked Tina M up with some Italian-American link. Depending, of course, on how you choose to define your use of the term "American," Tina probably does not fit it. Although she lived in America [ie, the United States of] she was never an American citizen and likely never considered her self to be American. "Italian -Mexican Someting" works just fine Carptrash 03:10, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Lavrenty Beria[edit]

Why did you add him to the list of exonerated Soviet death sentences? The article states that the Russian Supreme Court refused to overturn his convictions. Does "well, no, he didn't commit treason and espionage, but he did commit torture, murder, and rape" constitute exoneration? --jpgordon ∇∆∇∆ 17:35, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Cryptographer recats[edit]

Hi, just noticed your work on recategorising cryptographers according to nationality. I've one suggestion: perhaps it would be better to divide them into modern cryptographers and non-modern? I think this would be a more useful distinction to the reader. (Modern meaning after, say, 1970). — Matt Crypto 01:44, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary[edit]

Hi and thank you for your categorization work. I have just one remark. If not too troublesome, could you provide an edit summary when you make changes to articles? For example, if you put an article in a new category, you can just paste that thing in the edit summary window, like this

[[Category:Pre-computer cryptographers|Beurling, Arne]]

or, otherwise, just type "refine category" (if you use a browser like Mozilla, it will remember what you typed, and next time you don't need to type it again). Thanks, and enjoy! Oleg Alexandrov 03:59, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Let me back off a bit. For minor edits, an edit summary could probably be skipped. (It is nice to have it even then, though :) Oleg Alexandrov 04:03, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Category:Murdered royalty etc.[edit]

Please stop for a while and discuss with other people what ewxactly are you doing and why do you think it is reasonable to draw distinction between "murdered royalty" vs. "executed royalty", especially bearing in mind the distinction is a matter of the point of view. Let us discuss this at a talk page of, say, category:Dead people, which should be the common root of all assassinated/murdered/executed. Also, I believe there is a general mess in all these subcategories, to be untangled uniformly. Mikkalai 18:40, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Category:Fatally crashed aviators[edit]

Should we place in this category also shot-down aviators? I don't think so? (that would be some half of war pilots). Pibwl 18:14, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Category:Muckrackers[edit]

.. should, if at all, be Category:Muckrakers (to rake). However, I am not quite sure if such subcategorization of Category:Investigative journalists makes sense --Ktotam 00:59, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Italian-American mobsters[edit]

Hello Stefanomione. Sorry to bother you but I noticed you re-added Category:Italian-American mobsters and while I'm certanly relieved to see it back, especially having moved the entierity of Italian mafiosi to the category several days before it's deletion, I was led to believe by User:RedWolf the ethnicity categories were being phased out. I would be more then happy to move the articles into the category but I'd hate to see it deleted again. Thanks for your time. 209.213.71.78 20:20, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Richie Evans[edit]

African-Italian-Americans[edit]

I do not think an African-Italian-American category is a good idea, because although some people have that mix, it is not really an ethnic group of it's own like being Irish-Italian. I might put up a CFD for it, but I'll let you respond to my comments now before I put it up. 64.109.248.118 21:00, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Geography of Sicily[edit]

Hi, please do not make blank pages. They are not very helpful. You can use {{db|your reason for deletion}} to get rid of pages you have made accidentally. I deleted the Geography of Sicily because it contained only a category tag anyway. jni 06:06, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Abandoned submarine categories[edit]

You have created and abandoned several submarine categories in the past few weeks. But they are just going to hang around given how you are doing it. You created the categories, and have been the only signifigant user, so they IMHO qualify for speedy deletion. Please see Wikipedia:Speedy deletions for information on how to request speedy deletion for pages. Basically, you need to stick certain templates in the body of the categories you want removed. You appear to have been sticking a template in the change comments of the categories, but that does not work.

Categories I've been able to easily find that meet these circustances include: Category:U.S. sunken submarines Category:Sunken submarines by country Category:Lost Japanese submarines during World War II Category:Soviet/Russian sunken submarines Category:British sunken submarines Category:U.S. submarines lost before World WarII Category:Sunk U-boats

There may be others, but these are the ones I find with a quick search. TexasAndroid 21:18, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sicilian architects[edit]

Hi, I see you have created Category:Sicilian architects, I wrote quite a few brief biographies of Sicilian architects here Category:Sicilian Baroque. However, I did not create a category for them, because, I don't think there are enough to warrant it. Many architects notable for their work in Sicily Giulio Lasso and Stefano Ittar for instance are not actually Sicilian. So the problem will be filling the category. If you are planning a series of article on Sicilian architects I would be pleased to help you out, but I think at the moment the category is a little premature. I shan't nominate it for deletion, but I think you should be ready with some arguments as some one will no doubt shortly do so. Giano | talk 13:19, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Look I don't want to be difficult, but I created Category: Sicilian Baroque I wrote practically every article in it, but it was always going to to be a very small category, lets face it it has limited interest value; now you have created Category:Architects of the Sicilian Baroque this will be an even smaller category, surely it is better to have one all encompassing category for all concerned with Sicilian Baroque, which people can find and then decide in which direction they wish to research, no one is going to find their way around this minefield of small categories. Incidentally if you are interested the page Sicilian Baroque is currently a featured article candidate, why not have a look and see what you think, I am keen to see some Italian subjects on the main page one day. Regards Giano | talk 17:04, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll assume your'e silence is assent and agreement with me, and revert the architects to Category:Sicilian Baroque. I'll wait until you've made some edits after the date/time of thismessage to be sure you've had the opportunity to read and respond. Giano | talk 10:57, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stefanomione, You can write to me in French, German, Italian or English. I understand them all, some better than others. I always speak English here. Your English does not have to be very good to edit here, people will always help you, many people here seem to think my English is not very good either! If you want to communicate with someone you can always send me the message first, and I'll try and fix it for you before you send it. Leave the architects where you have put them, it doesn't matter to be honest very much any more. Good luck with the categories, it's a useful job to do. Giano | talk 22:25, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Barnstar awarded to Stefanomione for services to Wikipedia categories by User: Giano

Request to administrators to eliminate category[edit]

Hi, Stefanomione. I noticed your edit summaries ADMINISTRATORS, ELIMINATE!!! on some categories you'd created. I went ahead and deleted the ones that nobody else had edited. It's easier, though, for admins to find such requests if you put them on the page itself, in the form of a speedy delete template. Please see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for lists of lots of different speedy templates. The most useful form is {{deletebecause|Reason}}, where you put your own reason in. For instance, for a cat that you have created, and nobody else has edited, I suggest {{deletebecause|original creator requests it and nobody else has edited it}}. That will both expand to a pink box on the page, and put the page into Category: Candidates for speedy deletion (that's the reason I can't show it expanded here--that would put this page into the category "Candidates for speedy deletion"--not ideal!).

Nice barnstar! Best wishes, Bishonen | talk 23:48, 30 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]

God knows![edit]

To be honest I'm not sure what you wanted to do, it looks fine to me now, but I'm not an expert on lists. If you want to indent a paragraph you have to do all that hatch and mash stuff, I don't know how to do that. Just don't worry about it and remember È la gaia pioggerella a far crescer l'erba bella so keep trying. I've asked Bishonen to take a quick look, she is very clever at things like that! Giano | talk 20:41, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your list[edit]

Hi, Stefano. The big problem that tripped you up at first was that all lines you type need to start right over on the left-hand side; if they don't, there will be all sorts of problems with the display. This was the glitch that Tabor went in and fixed: s/he removed all the spaces at the beginnings of lines.

If you want the line displayed on the page to not start immediately on the left, you type a suitable number of colons at the head of it.

A list is usually done with bullet points, not headings, so I've formatted the page accordingly. The bullets are made by typing asterisks. You can just revert to Giano's version if you think I've made the names too small, or drop a line on my page and I'll revert it myself. It's non-standard to have any links in headings, though. Best wishes, Bishonen|talk 23:37, 17 November 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Category:Sicilian-British mobsters[edit]

I removed this category from Category:Sicilian mafiosi and Francesco Di Carlo. Apart from the fact that I find the Category highly questionable in the sense that I never heard of Sicilian-British organized crime, it does not apply to Sicilian mafiosi, who can only be part of the Sicilian Mafia. The case of Francesco Di Carlo is a perfect example of this. He was a Sicilian mafioso who happened to be in Britain for a while. He does not have British nationality. Please do not add doubtful categories without consultation. I did a search on Wikipedia [2] and did not find any mention of Sicilian-British - apparently it is not a commonly used term. Maybe you should reconsider the Category:Sicilian-British mobsters you created. - Mafia Expert 16:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You added Category:Pashtun Taliban leaders to a bunch of articles -- replacing existing articles. I think you might be the sole person adding individuals to this category. This category does not have any explanatory text explaining who should and shouldn't be included.

Are you aware that the Taliban's leadership is drawn exclusively from the Pashtun ethnic group?

Thanks for taking a minute to answer my question?

rollback[edit]

I have granted rollback rights to your account, because after a review of some of your contributions it appears that we can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: and believe you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Rollback feature and Rollback school. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Cheers, NoSeptember 20:09, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Category:Films about organised crime in Australia[edit]

I've removed your deletion request for this category, which you requested due to a "spelling error". The category is not mispelt.

Also Royal Commission into Drug Trafficking, Royal Commission of Inquiry into Drug Trafficking, , Moffitt Royal Commission, Chopper Read and The Carlton Crew. There are page moves which I've not reverted (e.g. Organized (sic) crime in Australia) - can you do the honours? Cheers, This flag once was red 02:42, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted a reversion of your edit on Underbelly (TV series) with the edit summary "Correct spelling error - please, comment on the discussion page." I couldn't find any comment by you on the article's talk page, so I've started a discussion there. I've also commented ("oppose") on the cat for deletion page, which I managed to stumble across. I've left comments on most pages affected by your interpretation of WP:MOS directing people towards the cat for deletion page.

In the interim, can I ask you hold off on any further edits until the Cat for Deletion process is completed? You do not currently have consensus for your actions, and the move from "organised" to "organized" is clearly controversial.

Category:Media about media in the media about the media[edit]

Hello, Stefanomione -- Would you care to explain why you created Category:Media about the media as well as Category:Media about media within minutes of each other on July 7, 2007?

Cgingold (talk) 10:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was hoping for a response to my question, Stefanomione. I'll give it a few more days, but my only other option is to take them all to CFD and ask for other editors to help figure out what needs to be done. Cgingold (talk) 08:59, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sloppy use of categories[edit]

You've really get to start doing a better job when you're putting articles into categories. Way too many of your decisions are missing the mark. I've already found nine articles that you wrongly placed in those new sub-cats you created for "assassinated journalists" -- and I've only gone through about half of them so far. Please be sure that these people were, in fact, assassinated, and not just murdered or killed in action. Cgingold (talk) 12:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your support. I don't know how much you have participated in discussions about deletion of categories/articles/etc; they are not votes, but weighing of persuasive arguments with reference to policy. So, if you join in on such pages in future, I recommend you make it clear what are the reasons that carry weight with you. I guess "per Fayenatic london" means you agree with all that I said; but independently stating your rationale, or referring to which things I said, tends to carry more weight with the administrators who close the discussions. Hope this helps! - Fayenatic (talk) 22:28, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:47, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cicero as 'trope theorist'[edit]

Since the article Trope theory appears not to exist, I'm wondering what your criteria were for including Cicero in the category "Trope theorists." I'm not necessarily disputing that he belongs there, but the word "trope" doesn't even appear in the article. Therefore, someone who visited the category page and was intrigued by finding our Marcus Tullius might not find what she was looking for when she visited the Cicero article. I wonder whether you could add a verified sentence or two justifying the orator's inclusion in this category. Cynwolfe (talk) 20:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two questions, two answers: 1. Cicero gives a theory of all major tropes in De Oratore in about 35 pages. A wonderful example that I will translate here tomorrow: Quoi (he means metaphors) sunt finituma illa minus ornata, sed tamen non ignoranda, cum intellegi volumus aliquid aut ex parte totum, ut pro aedificiis cum parietes aut tecta dicimus: aut ex toto partem , ut cum unam turnam equitatum populi Romani dicimus; aut ex uno plures: At Romanus homo, tamenetsi res bene gesta est Corde suo trepidat; aut cum ex pluribus intelligitur unum; Nos sumus Romani, qui fuimus ante Rudini.

2. In his Handbook of Literary Rhetoric (913 pages) Heinrich Lausberg established a theory of tropes based on the Rhetorical operations. He distinguishes 14 types of tropes (pages 552-598) ... we should recategorize the figures of speech-category accordingly.

As I said, I'm not necessarily disputing that he belongs there. Only that the article as it stands doesn't offer of an explanation of why. (I'm fine with your Latin, you don't need to translate it — unless you put it in the article, in which case you need to do so in English.) Thanks. Cynwolfe (talk) 22:18, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Beatniks[edit]

This was a pop culture term of disparagement and parody rather than one that any of the Beat writers actually used to describe themselves or their characters. It looks like you're just applying it to any person found in Category:Beat Generation, which is particularly amusing for Justin W. Brierly. Adding it to those found in Category:Beat writers or Category:Beat poets is just redundant at best. Or is there something about this I am missing? What was your reasoning for creating it? postdlf (talk) 17:19, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

...and I see you've also created Category:Beat Generation writers, which at present is redundant to Category:Beat writers, which at present is listed for renaming to Category:Beat Generation writers. I doubt there will be any objections to the rename (which I proposed), but I'm at a loss as to why you'd think it appropriate to start moving articles over while the CFD is pending. It's not only a waste of time, given that renames are usually handled by automated processes, but it's disruptive in the short term. So please stop working on this category area. postdlf (talk) 17:22, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your work in categories[edit]

Hi Stafnomione. As you can see from the above notices, some of the categories you have created get nominated for discussion. Some get renamed, but quite a few of them get deleted outright.

My advice to you is that you participate in these discussions if you want to continue to be involved in categories. If you consistently create categories that are deleted and you don't really respond to users' concerns by participating in the discussion of these categories—explaining your reasons for creating them, and so forth—it's possible that users will want you to stop creating categories.

From what I've seen, that very well could happen soon if you don't start engaging with users about these creations. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 21:34, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You're right: I should/will participate more often in the delete/rename-dicussions of my last creations. My work is primarely concentrated on the French, Italian and Dutch Wikipedia ... I will restrain this and make more comments when my categories get tagged on the English Wikipedia. I can tell you that only 1 in 50 of my categories arouse some doubt: I'm an avid reader of these comments on my categories ... after reading them I agree often with the delete/rename option but until now didn't mention this quite clearly ...
