== Failing to tag categories before speedy rename proposals == 

 Greetings.  Recently you proposed for speedy rename several nuclear weapon related categories, which were subsequently renamed. 

 The CFD speedy policy says, in part: 

 "Tag category with  

  
 {{cmbox 
 |type=speedy 
 |image=none 
 |text= 
 This category is being considered for speedy renaming to Category:new name in accordance with Wikipedia's category discussion policy. Any articles in this category will be recategorized (not deleted). 
 If you disagree with its speedy renaming, please explain at this category's entry on the speedy renaming section of the Categories for discussion page.  
 Please do not empty the category or remove this notice while the discussion is in progress. 
 [ add entry]  * [[:Category:]] to [[:Category:new name]] — Reason for rename. ~~~~ 
 }} 

  
  and list on WP:CFDS." 

 As far as I can tell, in your contributions history (including deleted contributions for the now deleted old names), you have not tagged any'' of the categories you recently (last 2 weeks) nominated for speedy rename. 

 I don't want to be a legalistic policy wonk, but the notifications establish a warning to people working on projects, so that we're aware of the proposals and can see and comment if we have any input.  Merely tagging stuff on the CFDS page without notifying anyone else is denying others the reasonable chance to review and comment prior to actions being taken.  It's essentially being excessively BOLD by robot proxy. 

 The particulars of those renames seem acceptable and appropriate to me - I don't object to that - but if this HAD been a case where the project people working in that area objected, you'd now be in hot water for the lack of notification. 

 Can you PLEASE try to consistently tag appropriately when you make nominations, to avoid this sort of confusion and potential post-facto objections? 

 Thank you.
