Pascal, I usually do use "What links here" to fix breaks caused by moves, but thanks for the reminder. Can you clue me in to which move I did that I didn't fix? Thanks! - UtherSRG 14:20, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I moved Jesse James back to that title. In accordance with our disambiguation standards, I put the other at Jesse G. James. It is important to keep the most important subject at the simplest title to allow natural linking. Rmhermen 18:23, Mar 9, 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Pascal. The edits from your IP have now been reattributed to you. Regards — Kate Turner | Talk 04:04, 2004 Sep 5 (UTC)

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Point well taken about NPOV edits. However, this is not the case with the Donald Trump article. The sentence "While most easily recognized by his horrendous comb over" cannot be considered factual or NPOV in its current form. Furthermore, it is not in encyclopedic style (see Wikipedia:Avoid weasel terms). While a citation from an opinion survey on the quality of Trump's combover might ameliorate this, it is not necessary given that Trump's photo with full combover appears immediately to the right.

Likewise with "That is one of the main differences between Fred and Donald Trump – Donald has no interest in affordable housing or for that matter in the outer boroughs." No quote from Trump backing this assertion up is provided nor are other differences between Fred and Donald given so as to provide context to the "main differences" claim. In addition, Trump's interest in "affordable housing" is not particularly germane in "Background." Most importantly, it seems to contradict the statement "Trump...initially concentrated on his father's preferred field of middle class rental housing" in the "Career" section.

Both of these statements are stylistically lacking and are peripheral to the article. The combover is obvious from the photo and Trump's primary interest in high end real estate is patently obvious in the "Career" section...

I saw a commercial on TV the other day where Donald Trump made a comment along the lines of "my hair is recognized the world over". I got curious what that meant, the article on him said nothing about his hair. Finally found on other websites that he had a comb over described with different synonyms for horrendous. I agree the sentence needs to be changed, but I would like to keep a link to comb over somewhere on Donald Trump, as that is the information I was looking for and did not find. I can't comment on the other paragraph. --Pascal666 04:27, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2005-09-14T04:27:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Pascal666-2005-09-14T04:27:00.000Z-LuiKhuntek-2005-09-13T09:48:00.000Z","replies":["c-LuiKhuntek-2005-09-14T04:41:00.000Z-Pascal666-2005-09-14T04:27:00.000Z"]}}-->

How about something like "Due to his outspokeness and media exposure, he is an easily recognizable public figure whose distinctive comb over is the subject of humor by comedians such as David Letterman." ?

This might fit immediately after this sentence: "Trump is often known as "A Schoolboy's Dream" and "A Competitor's Challenge", as he is rarely afraid of defining the ways of a prolific American business executive, and thus became an example of one. "

Years on their own are not normally wikilinked unless there is a specific reason. [[June 22]], [[1966]] is correct, or just [[June 22]] or just 1966.

I've reverted all of your edits changing {{User GUS UBX to}} to hard redirects on userboxes. The order you claim in the edit summaries isn't the actual order as used by WP:GUS. You say that the template is only placed on after all incoming transclusions have been resolved ... that's not true, when that happens, the userbox is actually deleted. This template is placed on the userboxes as soon as it is userfied, thus notifying users that they need to update their pages. --Cyde Weys 13:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-08-17T13:22:00.000Z","author":"Cyde","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Cyde-2006-08-17T13:22:00.000Z-The_German_solution","replies":["c-Pascal666-2006-08-17T13:27:00.000Z-Cyde-2006-08-17T13:22:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Cyde Weys"}}-->

I had tried to create subpages when I first joined Wikipedia but I failed because the advice on this same page you gave me a link to, under "How do I create a user subpage?", is extremely unintuitive, in my opinion. It goes:

Get assistance at WP:UPH. To create a user subpage, like a personal sandbox, you can:

• Go to the URL and start the page, eg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Mypage/Sandbox
• Follow a red link to the subpage, eg Special:Mypage/Sandbox
• Type the subpage name into the search bar and click "Go", eg "Special:Mypage/Sandbox"

That lost me; and no mention of the word "user". I might write a simplified version of that one day, for simpletons like me. qp10qp 16:10, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-08-24T16:10:00.000Z","author":"Qp10qp","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Qp10qp-2006-08-24T16:10:00.000Z-Pascal666-2006-08-24T15:20:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi, I noticed that you put the Prod (proposed deletion) tag on 5 or so redirect articles. The Prod tag is not supposed to be used for redirects, instead redirects should be nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.

Thanks for taking care of the collateral damage. I often would take care of only a couple double redirects – if any – because manually correcting double redirects, especially for articles with many of them (like Saint Andrew's Cross) could be quite tedious. Now that I see AWB takes care of double redirects (I'm sure I knew that at one point), I'll make sure I use that in the future when performing a move.

Hello Pascal. Thank you for wishing me a happy birthday. Well, I believe that the counter only deems as edit summary those where you did add an actual summary. Those references to the edited sections (which are automatically inserted), such as "(→Controversy, criticism, lawsuits, and taxes)" might not be taken into account, thus the 85%. I'm not certain if that's the reason, but likely it is. So, always add some brief info on summaries.

Hello Pascal666. What are you questioning with the 'fact' tag? It is evident that the check digit is correct in both cases (easily confirmed by isbn.org/converterpub.asp). The check digits happen to 'coincide' (though I don't know why the previous editor felt that was significant). It is also evident that clicking on each ISBN at the appropriate bookstore leads to the cited book. What more do you need?

The sentence "The check digit happens to coincide." If I was the publisher, I would have intentionally found a pair of matching ISBNs, including check digit. They may indeed just happen to coincide, but Wikipedia requires proof. Stating the fact that they coincide is one thing, stating they happen to coincide is quite another. Unless a source is found stating that they just happen to coincide, language along the lines of "and chooses to use the same item number including the check digit" would be more neutral. --Pascal666 04:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-12-08T04:32:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Pascal666-2006-12-08T04:32:00.000Z-EdJohnston-2006-12-07T23:59:00.000Z","replies":["c-EdJohnston-2006-12-08T04:50:00.000Z-Pascal666-2006-12-08T04:32:00.000Z"]}}-->

Your point is that the publisher went to some extra trouble to select (from within his allotted ISBN range) a book number that would happen to give the same check digit in the two cases? The check digit formula is of course not under the publisher's control.

It would be trivial for the publisher two find two ISBNs that match. If they went to the trouble of finding a three digit match, why not four? They own all ISBNs that start with 038796 and 354096. Think how easy it would be to calculate the checksum for every ISBN in those ranges (1000 in each) and find two that match. Although, I just did it myself, and found something peculiar. Turns out the check digit for every isbn in those two ranges match. --Pascal666 05:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-12-08T05:06:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Pascal666-2006-12-08T05:06:00.000Z-EdJohnston-2006-12-08T04:50:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I notice you are replacing Image:Autorecessive.jpg with Image:Autorecessive.svg on every article, without discussion nor consensus. Some editors, including me, prefer Autorecessive.jpg... but I prefer the .jpg one mainly because the colors in the .svg version would make it difficult for individuals with color blindness to discern the colors. Also, Autorecessive.jpg is in the same style as Image:Autodominant.jpg - sort of a silly, nitpicky reason there, though. But still, I feel like this change is being sort of forced down our throats, considering there's been no discussion. Thanks for listening. BTW, I'm going to switch back to the other image on the articles I've written, at least for now.-- Rcej (talk) 08:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-12-22T08:24:00.000Z","author":"Rcej","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Rcej-2008-12-22T08:24:00.000Z-Autorecessive.svg_vs_Autorecessive.jpg","replies":["c-Pascal666-2008-12-22T14:37:00.000Z-Rcej-2008-12-22T08:24:00.000Z"]}}-->

Image:Autorecessive.jpg is incorrect. I left a message on the talk page nearly two months ago to this effect. This was also mentioned at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medical Genetics/Guidelines over a year ago. That is where the SVG was introduced and the only comment made was the circles should be bigger, which was done. The red/blue/purple color scheme was also mentioned there without objection, though it was noted the original color scheme may be even better. The most common type of color blindness is green/red. This is why traffic signals use a blue/green instead of a pure green. The SVG uses blue instead of green, and would be perfectly visible to the vast majority of those with color blindness. I happen to agree with you on the color scheme, but I would rather have a correct image than a good looking one. File:Autodominant.jpg is also incorrect and needs to be replaced, however there does not appear to be an equivalent SVG. If you have a suggestion for better colors, please leave a message on one of the talk pages. If you simply like the original colors better than the new, leave a message for the author of the SVG, User:Cburnett. Perhaps in addition to changing the colors they would also be willing to make a similar version of Autodominant as well. --Pascal666 (talk) 14:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-12-22T14:37:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Pascal666-2008-12-22T14:37:00.000Z-Rcej-2008-12-22T08:24:00.000Z","replies":["c-Rcej-2008-12-23T01:36:00.000Z-Pascal666-2008-12-22T14:37:00.000Z"]}}-->

When I came across Category:Wikipedia disambig or set index box parameter needs fixing I put it in the same place. You reverted this saying that category was for template pages that need fixing.

Sorry that this took so many hours, but it took me some investigation to get the full picture. (And my friends kept interrupting me by phoning me.) And yeah, I have by now figured out what it is you are doing and pretty much agree with it. But there are some things that I would like to change. I have now written a long message with several suggestions over at Category talk:Wikipedia maintenance#Template error reporting categories.

Listen, it is 4:30 AM where I am and I am tired and cranky. So I will try not to be rude. Bottom line: I don't think links to categories that no longer exist, whatever the reason, should be linked to a page. I don't have the cognitive abilities right now to understand the point you are trying to make. Maybe after I get some sleep I will be able to understand what you are trying to say. Until then, if you feel the links to these non existent categories should still be linked, then feel free to revert my edit. Until then, let me finish editing the stub I am working on so I can go to sleep and come back later and try to understand with fresh eyes what you are saying! Good night!

No. I just created the list per your request, and documented it.

Thanks. I noticed that about 5-10% of the categories either gets created in due course or the pages get deleted. And I found a few categories had been fixed or removed by others. So an update will be welcome. In the mean time I'll get started (slowly) on what we have.

Could you tell me the precise description of the listed articles? Articles with redlinked categories that occur only once?

As far as I am concerned, by the end of week it would be time for an update. No reason to spend your time on reworking these lists (as in the following section), because many redlinks have already been fixed (removed, created or replaced). I also fixed some 100+ by now, and will fix another 100+ in the next 2 days.

I saw what you did. That is very nice work!

Yes, just purge the page and the ones that have been fixed will go away. I have created pages for the first 10,000 articles on this list so far. I will create the rest as time permits. This list is based off of the database dumps. A new dump comes out every 3-4 months or so.

I see. So new articles don't get added automatically. You are serious? There's more than 10,000 articles used with one-time redlinked cats? Incredible!

You write about categories with remarks in them "Please do not 'fix' these by simply deleting the comments or moving them outside of the category tag". Actually, I think that moving them outside the category tag is precisely what should be done and what usually is done. What do you say?

If you move the comment outside of the category it can get separated from it. There is nothing wrong with the way they are now. They work perfectly. The only reason to note them at all is that someone needs to find a reliable reference for the information and remove the comment after confirming it. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 18:00, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-05-07T18:00:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Pascal666-2009-05-07T18:00:00.000Z-Debresser-2009-05-07T10:58:00.000Z","replies":["c-Debresser-2009-05-07T18:09:00.000Z-Pascal666-2009-05-07T18:00:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Pascal"}}-->

Per Wikipedia:Categorization#Using sort keys: "To ensure that entries differing by letter case appear together, apply the convention that initial letters of words are capitalized in the sort key, but other letters are lower case." The articles to which you refer have a word that starts with a lowercase letter in the title.

Yeah, I was not involved in the initial policy discussion or the discussion about adding it to AWB, but the more I think about it the more I think we would be better off having MediaWiki treat sort keys as case-insensitive.

I assume you are referring to this edit in which I changed the category for Highbury & Islington station from Category:Victoria line stations to Category:Victoria Line stations. The red link in the edit summary and in the previous sentence indicate that the lower case category does not exist. The only article in the lowercase category at the time I made the change was the article that I changed, and it is now empty. The uppercase category exists and has 16 articles in it. I have no opinion as to which case is correct. I was simply moving an article from a non-existent category that had only it as a member, to an existent category with 15 other similar members. I would neither object to nor endorse your creating the lowercase category, moving all 16 articles to it, and nominating the uppercase category for deletion. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 22:50, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-07-09T22:50:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Pascal666-2009-07-09T22:50:00.000Z-SilasW-2009-07-09T16:04:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Pascal"}}-->

Hi Pascal,
this edit won't work as you expect: Mediawiki only adds a page to a category when the page is saved, or in some circumstances via job queue (e.g. when a transcluded template was changed). It does not categorize a page if a parser function suddenly evaluates differently, thus the only pages you'll find in Category:Pufc cleanup old will be those that were (NULL) edited some time after expiration of the grace period.

Yes, thank you. You are correct. If the date changes from current to old after I added that code, the page will not get categorized into Category:Pufc cleanup old until either the page or template are edited again. For my current purposes this doesn't matter. Currently the goal of these categories is only to cleanup old transclusions, not to maintain them going forward (thus my edit summary "add temporary cleanup cats"). This template is currently transcluded over 1,200 times. A sampling of pages it is transcluded in show it to need to be removed about 80% of the time. Many instances should have been removed over a year ago. For example, Benjamin Becker is currently in Category:Pufc cleanup old with a date of 3 September 2009 (yes, I confirmed this is the correct date). This is the type of page I am currently concerning myself with. I have not yet considered how to maintain this template moving forward. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 18:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2010-10-12T18:34:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Pascal666-2010-10-12T18:34:00.000Z-Amalthea-2010-10-12T08:15:00.000Z","replies":["c-Amalthea-2010-10-12T18:56:00.000Z-Pascal666-2010-10-12T18:34:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Pascal"}}-->

What's your opinion on removing old instances of this template from conversations on talk pages? The options I've thought of:

If it's used in its normal maintainance context, i.e. as an image caption, then remove the template if it's no longer needed, but leave the image untouched. Removing such maintainance templates is within (the spirit of) WP:TPOC, while removing even a redlinked image might very well change the meaning of other people's posts.

Hello there. FYI, the page redirects was due to a result of my discussion with an established and experienced editor BilCat (talk · contribs) about two/three years back, as the name of the variants were quite varied, so his advice to me was to create them as a redirect to one single page, which is the abovementioned. And since there are 4 separate variants on top of the newly upgraded models, I had to simplify them and abbreviate it in the header above in the manner which you've seen.

The point of the redirect template series is not to list all redirects to a page, but only redirects that could direct someone to the page in error. No one is going to type in "A-4SU Super Skyhawk" or "TA-4SU Super Skyhawk" when looking for the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Is there reason to believe someone would type in "TA-4S-1 Skyhawk"? The full policy can be found at Wikipedia:Hatnote.

{{Redirect}} specifically is designed to specify a single redirect page and thus puts quotes around the entire first parameter. You can see examples of the entire series at Template:Hatnote templates documentation. If you believe confusion from the other four redirects is reasonable, my I suggest:

"T/A-4S Skyhawk" and "T/A-4S-1 Skyhawk" redirect here. For the Douglas A-4, see Douglas A-4 Skyhawk.

Hi there Pascal666! If you have an interest in Folding@home I thought I'd let you know that I've extensively edited the article and I believe that it's very, very close to GA nominations, something that is long overdue IMO. I'm doing a fairly informal request for comment thing, so if you could read it through and drop me a line or something with any improvement suggestions I'd appreciate it. I'm striving to make it encyclopedic, factually accurate, etc. If there's enough consensus that things are fine I will ask the lead scientist Dr. Pande for a final review and then put it up for GA nominations which I hope will transpire smoothly. I estimate that all of these events will occur within the next several weeks. So if you are interested, please let me know what you think and watch for the GA nomination! :D Your fellow folder, Jesse V.

Dear Pascall666. I noted that back in the days, you mass-created numerous sockpuppet categories (editing sprees seen in this list: contribs). Are you aware of any discussion regarding the creation of these sock categories, especially the creation after the population of said categories (I mean, s.o. tags some users as socks, but does not create it, and s.o. else makes, weeks or months or years later the categories)? Thanks for the help! --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 10:29, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-04-28T10:29:00.000Z","author":"Beetstra","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Beetstra-2012-04-28T10:29:00.000Z-sockpuppet_categories","replies":["c-Pascal666-2012-04-28T19:49:00.000Z-Beetstra-2012-04-28T10:29:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Dirk Beetstra"}}-->

I was not involved too much in the sockpuppet processes. I was involved more with categorization. Special:WantedCategories lists the top 1000 categories that do not exist but have member pages. A large portion of the list was sockpuppet categories. Creating these categories removed them from the list so that useful categories could be found and created.

I don't remember any specific discussions about creating these categories, but that may be due more to the lack of my memory than the lack of such discussions. I would consider creating them basic maintenance (back when I had more free time I used to be a bit of a WikiGnome). A lot of users either don't take the time to create categories or don't know how. The sockpuppet categories in particular were a mess because a lot of users would simply create them and paste in text from a similar page or put whatever they wanted there. A correctly created sockpuppet category should contain only the {{Sockpuppet category}} template and nothing else.--Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 19:49, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-04-28T19:49:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Pascal666-2012-04-28T19:49:00.000Z-Beetstra-2012-04-28T10:29:00.000Z","replies":["c-Beetstra-2012-04-29T07:27:00.000Z-Pascal666-2012-04-28T19:49:00.000Z","c-Beetstra-2012-05-02T08:35:00.000Z-Pascal666-2012-04-28T19:49:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Pascal"}}-->

Thank you. I agree that it is basic maintenance, but well, not everyone seems to agree .. and if you don't know of any discussion regarding the mass-creation, and on a quick search I don't find any either .. maybe it is not highly discussed.

There is not a real discussion directly on this, it is used against an editor in an ongoing Arbitration Case (I will leave it to you to draw your own conclusions on the total). I was asked to provide evidence that previous similar actions were not deemed much of a problem, I have therefore mentioned you a the discussion: Wikipedia talk:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Rich Farmbrough/Workshop#The problem with these types of cases regarding this (there are more discussions in the same threads). --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 08:35, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2012-05-02T08:35:00.000Z","author":"Beetstra","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Beetstra-2012-05-02T08:35:00.000Z-Pascal666-2012-04-28T19:49:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"Dirk Beetstra"}}-->

Dear Author/Pascal666

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Very Long Chain Acyl CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please visit my Talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance.

The article Murse has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not really a disambig. Dictionary def of two made-up words, no indication that either is in any kind of widespread use, and thus no indication of notability of the terms.

While all 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.

Assuming you are not still using them, would you object to the pages being deleted or, if the data is still useful, replaced with {{Userpage blanked}}? -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 01:43, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-04-06T01:43:00.000Z","author":"Black Falcon","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Black_Falcon-2020-04-06T01:43:00.000Z-User:Pascal666\/cats","replies":["c-Pascal666-2020-04-06T19:43:00.000Z-Black_Falcon-2020-04-06T01:43:00.000Z"]}}-->

Thank you for your categorization efforts. I blanked 1 and c1. Feel free to delete 2 through 42 and c2 through c6. --Pascal⁶⁶⁶ 19:43, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-04-06T19:43:00.000Z","author":"Pascal666","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Pascal666-2020-04-06T19:43:00.000Z-Black_Falcon-2020-04-06T01:43:00.000Z","replies":["c-Black_Falcon-2020-04-12T03:52:00.000Z-Pascal666-2020-04-06T19:43:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Pascal"}}-->

 Done. Thanks for your response. I deleted the subpages you indicated. If you ever need them again, please ping me here or at my talk page, or ask at WP:REFUND. I also removed the links to the subpages (diff), but feel free to revert that edit if you prefer. All the best, -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 03:52, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2020-04-12T03:52:00.000Z","author":"Black Falcon","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Black_Falcon-2020-04-12T03:52:00.000Z-Pascal666-2020-04-06T19:43:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
