Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Francis Obed Belzer, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. ^SMason_Garrison 01:50, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

@Smasongarrison:: Care to explain yourself? Paradoctor (talk) 02:26, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

You added container categories. ^SMason_Garrison 02:29, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Please look at the description of Category:20th-century_American_men. It is not for categorizing individual people. ^SMason_Garrison 02:31, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Next time, provide this info without requiring an invitation. Put it in the WP:EDITSUMMARY. That's what it is for. Paradoctor (talk) 02:43, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Please just be more careful with categorization. ^SMason_Garrison 12:43, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

You're clearly not getting the message here. Let me spell it out for you:

A) Going to user talk is for behavioral patterns, not for what was clearly an isolated, ordinary mistake, of the kind that happen all the time, regardless of experience. Especially when it happens in the form of a semi-automated warning.

B) This is about your tone. As an experienced user and an admin, I shouldn't have had to educate you about this. Paradoctor (talk) 14:19, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Paradoctor?

Is that like a metaphysician? GA-RT-22 (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Haha. I do dabble in metaphysics, which makes me a metaphysicist, but no, this comes from a different place. See § Welcome to the Land of Confusion.

I only learned many years after choosing this moniker that paradoctor is an actual occupation. ;) Paradoctor (talk) 16:49, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Appreciation for your signature

Just wanted to say that I like it. Just the right amount of whimsy without becoming annoying.

I did something similar with the table of contents at User talk:Guy Macon and somebody joked that I was "slightly left leaning". (smile) --Guy Macon (talk) 01:40, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

I serve to live. ;) Paradoctor (talk) 03:02, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Just saw it. :D Paradoctor (talk) 03:03, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

I don't know that!

I'm sorry for my misunderstanding of the image I added, since I am a newcomer here and this is my first real edit, so I'll learn from my mistake and be happy to contribute to Wikipedia. :) Boing747Ha (talk) 13:18, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

No problem, we all started out somewhere. Nobody knows all the rules here. ;) Paradoctor (talk) 13:59, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

THANK YOU

I was not able to understand why it wasn't displying properly. Thanks for fixing! ङघिञ (talk) 14:21, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Dab entries on LH

Diff

FYI, I didn't add these two entries to the page, I just duplicated them to the appropriate sections per MOS:DABOVERLAP. If, as you say, they fail WP:DABACRO, then they should be removed entirely, including from the sections they were in to start with. I've done so. —swpb^{T • beyond • mutual} 14:04, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

just duplicated them Thanks, I missed that. Paradoctor (talk) 14:49, 22 September 2026 (UTC)
