Disambiguation link notification for December 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Drug Enforcement Agency, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Liberian. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Kategorien

Hello, YellowPotato,
I see you are very busy editing categories but please do not empty categories "out of process", that is remove categories from all articles that fall into those category in order to empty the category. That is not the proper process. If you wish to nominate an article for deletion, merger or renaming, please go to WP:CFD and follow the instructions for proposing a category for discussion. This is the proper route. Once a category has been removed from an article and a category emptied, it can be extremely hard to go back and discover which articles belong in that category. Please follow the standard process and ask me or one of the editors who frequent CFD if you have any questions. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:38, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

• Just trying to stop the metastasising Tim! and Tim!-esque un-needed, low-IQ categories. Most which are being made for the sake of being made by asperger zombies - and only because a earlier one was, in different circumstances (enough viable articles for a legitimate category). Some are viable on a case-to-case basis, some aren't. YellowPotato (talk) 05:48, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
