Incorrect categorisation

I see you have populated several categories such as Category:Populated places in the United States established in 1875. Some of the articles you have placed in these categories are not in the United States: I have had to revert you on Auckland City, Ovingham, South Australia and New Iceland, which are in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. Someone else reverted you on Palmerston North. Please review these categories and remove entries which don't belong, and take more care with categorisation in future.-Gadfium (talk) 21:28, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

I have reverted several more incorrect categorisations. I may have missed some so you still need to check your work.-Gadfium (talk) 22:01, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

@Benboy250 Please slow down. I also came to your talk page to point out errors you were making. ^SMason_Garrison 01:07, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Please add {{Navseasoncats}} when you create categories by year. ^SMason_Garrison 22:35, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

April 2026

Before adding a category to an eponymous category, as you did to Category:Keyser, West Virginia, please make sure that every article in the eponymous category really belongs in the newly-added category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be consistent with WP:EPONYMOUS. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. ^SMason_Garrison 01:10, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I have made an effort to be more careful with incorrect categorisations in the past few days. Can you please specify which of my recent contributions you believe to be non-constructive? Benboy250 (talk) 20:45, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Glad to hear that you're being more careful. However, your lack of communication or direct engagement with those concerns to better understand them is extremely limited. Wikipedia:Communication is required, especially when you're making high volume edits. You have two adminstrators asking you to slow down and be more careful.... ^SMason_Garrison 20:49, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Fair enough, I'll engage more. Benboy250 (talk) 21:26, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Category:Former House of Representatives (Japan) districts in Hokkaido

I had to re-add after I noticed you (likely accidentally) removed it with Cat-a-lot when creating Category:Parliamentary districts of the Diet of Japan established in 1947.

Netanyahu

WP:BLP applies even to world leaders. Netanyahu has not been adjudicated by any national or international body to be a war criminal. The International Criminal Court wants to try him, but needs someone to arrest him and hand him over(and, even if that happened, he would likely be freed in a US military operation due to the Hague Invasion Act) His government is generally(though not exclusively) viewed as having committed war crimes, but his personal responsibility hasn't been officially determined. Adding him to the war criminal category needs to be discussed. 331dot (talk) 09:25, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

The category Category:War criminals includes those who "have been officially charged with committing war crimes as part of any judicial trial or investigation by any court of law" (emphasis mine). He has been indicted for war crimes by the ICC, qualifying him for the category. Benboy250 (talk) 19:09, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Not your fault for going by it, but to me that seems to be a severe WP:BLP violation, to assert that people who have not been convicted of a crime have committed a crime. It shouldn't matter that it's alleged war crimes. I would still recommend discussion on Talk:Benjamin Netanyahu first. 331dot (talk) 19:45, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
