Drama board notification

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Bloomagiliw (talk) 11:20, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't??? Howard the Duck (talk) 11:21, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm writing it up. :) Bloomagiliw (talk) 11:22, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You should have notified me (1) after you've written it up, (2) with the link to the relevant subsection. Howard the Duck (talk) 11:23, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bloomagiliw originally posted this prior to the creation of a relevant subsection. User then edited the comment after fact. For reference on any future relevant discussion. Howard the Duck (talk) 11:44, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey you seem like you’re probably a competent content editor, so you should dial back the aggression by a factor of like 7. Like maybe write your comments elsewhere and then remove all the parts you think are particularly clever before posting them. Especially the comments about what you perceive to be the nationality of other editors—that’s super gross. None of this behavior is helpful in getting good outcomes in discussions. ~2025-31850-11 (talk) 12:47, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, I am a part of the nationality involved, and I do understand it's not "helpful in getting good outcomes in discussions". Howard the Duck (talk) 12:51, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Bad" categories

Hi Howard, what made you think that actress was a bad category for this article? I get that the subject might fail notability - but that's a key part of the categorisation process, we add the categories based on the text in the article and sometimes that results in articles being deleted because the people who follow that category know who the notable and unnotable subjects are in that category. Ϣere SpielChequers 12:20, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Actresses and singer categories should have been on sex and medium/genre.

It's obvious you are not one of the people "following that category" as there are supposed to be no bio articles there as it's tagged with {{diffusecat}}. Howard the Duck (talk) 17:27, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
