"primarily known" as a legislator?

The category "19th-century American legislators" which you created says that it is for "People primarily notable for holding a legislative office in the United States during the 19th century." So.... would you say that if someone was an elected legislator, but is not *primarily* known as a legislator, this category would be inappropriate? I noticed this on the article John P. Ordway, who is primarily known as a composer and music entrepreneur. I asked User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao, who had added a related category, and he seemed to think that anyone who was a legislator should get the legislator category... which to my mind would be wrong with the "primarily" language in the description. And he suggested asking the creator of the category. So, what do you think? Should we remove the "primarily", or should the category get pruned down to career politicians?

Hello, my intention with that comment was in reference to political careers primarily defined through notability as legislators. I was mainly thinking that a president who served in Congress shouldn't be moved to the "legislators" category. The goal was to reduce the size of the "x-century American politicians" categories, which Ordway was previously in. I would say that Ordway belongs in the legislators category because his political career was exclusively in a legislature. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 03:25, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Ah, so you were trying to reduce essentially duplicative categories. But, you see, someone (User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao) has gone around and added in "Category:19th century Massachusetts politician", so we are back to having both a legislator and a politician category. And, of course, they aren't quite duplicates, since one is state-specific. I'm not sure I see an easy fix here. But, about the wording, so what you meant was more along the line of "Persons whose highest or best-known political office was in a legislature." Or something along those lines.

Yes, I was referring narrowly within the context of political careers with that comment. As for the state categories, I'm personally not instinctually against having both a state politician and legislator category, since the original intention of the legislator category was to reduce the size of the "American politicians" categories specifically.

About marking edits as minor

Hey Sunshineisles2, thanks for your contributions to Spirited Away ! I wanted to let you know that you should be more selective about what edits you're using the minor edit flag on, per WP:MINOR. Minor edits are usually only for unambiguously uncontroversial edits like fixing typos or reverting vandalism. Even the small copyedits, like you're doing on this article, should not be marked as minor. Also, consider that some editors have their watchlists set up to filter out minor edits, which further reduces the visibility of your changes if you use the flag incorrectly. When in doubt, air on the side of not using the flag. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Noam Bettan

Hello, could you give a style orthographic cleaning to the article Noam Bettan that adjusts to the orthographic style convection Acartonadooopo (talk) 04:30, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I've had a look through the article and done some copy edits. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 05:56, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, In this article I have a problem with user that links me, with the musical artist. I do not know Noam Bettan nor do I have a friendship with him. Could you help me tell that user that I don't know Noam Bettan. --Acartonadooopo (talk) 12:36, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm not really aware of the situation so I don't know what I could contribute. With regard to the template that was previously on the page, I think that's usually added when someone feels that the article is too promotional in tone, so continued work to expand/refine the page in ways that preserve neutral points of view should solve any concerns.

Hello Sunshineisles2, The user who template for article Noam Bettan, in an unusual and inconsonant manner, opened a deletion query for the article by the renowned doctor and researcher Paul S. Berry, an article created 17 years ago. and you can see the history of doing the same procedure in many more articles. What action do I take to remove the template from the Noam Bettan article? Acartonadooopo (talk) 20:52, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

A deletion template can't be removed from an article once it's added. The discussion has to play out. Sunshineisles2 (talk) 15:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

now they want to delete Noam Bettan's article with a deletion query. --Acartonadooopo (talk) 16:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
