Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Category:Chemists of the University of Norwich ↗

A tag has been placed on :Category:Chemists of the University of Norwich ↗ indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category ↗, a category redirect ↗, under discussion at Categories for discussion ↗, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and removing the speedy deletion tag. <!-- Template:Db-catempty-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">'''''L'''''iz</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">'''''Read!''''' ↗ '''''Talk!'''''</sup> 00:15, 25 March 2026 (UTC)


Category of chemists by British universities


Well done for creating these sets of categories. This could help, in finding the chemists at each relevant university. It could be argued that a category for other sorts of scientists, or mathematicians could be created too? But I can see these categories helping in finding your way through the British university world. &#126;2026-20000-54 ↗ (talk) 15:11, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

:Glad somebody else finds them useful! I was looking at chemists in Birmingham about a month ago while editing the page for John Fossey ↗ and was surprised there was no better way to find them than hunting through several hundred Birmingham academics. As is so often the case, I started on an idea for a useful tool, and it snowballed.
:Doing the same for physicists, biologists, etc. would be a good idea (another editor has already done the same for classical scholars), but if chemists are anything to go by it'd take years to do everything, even with multiple editors. Probably best to go one university at a time, slowly turning the "Academics of X" pages into container categories. Problem for the future, though. I still have over 20 UK universities to go, and haven't even thought yet of whether or not to do other countries' institutions as well, especially since there's a lot of overlap.

::My godfather taught Organic Chemistry at a well-known London scientific university, next door to the Natural History Museum. He is still alive. My father's brother taught Physics there, but he is not still alive. Perhaps a category for British biologists too? The UK is cooking on gas, in research in biological sciences. And around Cambridge too. You can't move for top biologists. Creating mice that can win the Olympic Games 100 metres. Only joking. It's the 200 metres.

Categories



Please note that pages are not allowed to be filed in redlinked categories that do not exist to have pages filed in them, per WP:REDNOT ↗. If you want to add pages to a category that doesn't already exist, then you ''must'' either create the category ''immediately'', or not add it to the page at all, and adding pages to a redlinked category but then walking away with a redlinked category sitting on the page for future creation is ''not'' on your list of options at all. Bearcat (talk) 13:47, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

:Apologies for the oversight.
:Having looked back through the logs, it seems the issue was Chemists of the University of Reading ↗. I don't know how I missed it at the time, but the page has been created now.
:Thanks for flagging! Thesauri Visitant (talk) 15:00, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
:Further to the above, I've just reviewed my edit history and found the same thing happened with Chemists of Loughborough University ↗ (category page now created), and I somehow managed to make the same mistake with Reading twice, on the same article, on different days. I'm going to switch my workflow from categorising one scientist at a time to one university at a time, which should prevent re-occurrence. Apologies once again. Thesauri Visitant (talk) 15:31, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

Citations


Appreciated your edit here ↗ and just wondered if you had a tool you were using? I toggled on the "Citations" button myself but it barely seems to work for most bare urls - but you seem like you've got something similar/better functioning? New Yathrib - Fundy Historian (talk) 12:23, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

:Sorry, the only tool I use is the standard Wikipedia convert button. When that doesn't work I just fill in the fields manually.
:I know some editors use refill ↗, which you may find helpful, but I've never used it myself so I can't vouch for it.

Payment?



Hello!

On the page Pauline Jacobson ↗, User:Paulinejacobson has claimed that a person requested payment to fix the page after your edit. Would you like to add onto the situation? I'm not trying to say that ''you'' requested the payment necessarily, but I hope that you could disclose some information about this situation. '''<span style="font-variant:small-caps"><span style="color:#3bb143">HwyNerd</span></span> <span style="color:green;">Mike</span>''' <small>(t &#124; c ↗)</small> 18:21, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

:My edit to the page was just fixing some bare URLs that had been tagged to the relevant task page ↗. To be honest, I do that a lot, and rarely spend more than a few minutes fixing URLs on any given article, including this one, so I don't really have much information to disclose. I also doubt that this was the edit that allegedly required "fixing", since I didn't add or remove any information.
:Just to be clear, I also didn't contact her asking for payment, have never requested payment for editing and have no plans to do so in the future.

July 2026



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello and thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia. I saw that a category you created, :Category:Chemists of the University of Wolverhampton ↗ has not been used on more than one page. According to the guideline Wikipedia:Categorization ↗, categories should be populated with multiple articles ↗. Please help by adding other articles to the categories you create. You can take a look at the categorization FAQ ↗. If you need further help, feel free to ask me or ask at the Teahouse ↗. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-catpop --> <sup>S</sup>Mason<sub>Garrison</sub> 16:44, 9 July 2026 (UTC)

:Please also remember to add all the relevant sort keys as well as diffuse these pages from the parent category. In other words, if you add someone to :Category:Chemists of the University of Wolverhampton ↗, you should remove them from :Category:Academics of the University of Wolverhampton ↗. Thanks for your hard work on diffusing chemists by academic institution. <sup>S</sup>Mason<sub>Garrison</sub> 17:07, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
::Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Looking through the categories I've made, there seem to be similar issues with Goldsmiths ↗ and Salford ↗ (when I first started this project I was working doing one chemist at a time as opposed to one university at a time, so I didn't notice at the time). I'll check to see if there are any other pages appropriate to add, but given the sizes of the universities, I'll probably return them to the parent categories.
::Thesauri Visitant (talk) 18:49, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
:::Sounds good. One strategy might be to start with the largest Academics of UNIVISERITY, see if you can find a couple of chemists, then make the category, and then populate away. :) <sup>S</sup>Mason<sub>Garrison</sub> 21:11, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
