Expectations (Bebe Rexha album)

Hi AA. Can you please protect Expectations (Bebe Rexha album) from being recreated? I would tag it but I assume you are the admin who would be deleting it anyway. There has been no further development on what type of release it is by the artist (it could be a song for all anybody knows), and there is no confirmation it will even be released. It appears users like Jax 0677 and Another Believer have assumed what it is to get the jump on everybody in creating the article. I see Jax left you a message saying "please send it through AfD before deleting again", but redirects don't go through AfD anyway and I don't see why it would need to go through RfD when it's WP:OR to assume what it is in the first place. I am sure the artist, if it were an album, would have said "my album is coming out soon". Instead, she has stated "project". That could mean anything—it could be an art installation. Jax has also created Expectations (EP)—he himself doesn't even know. It's just a guessing game by editors at this point. If Jax 0677 is so concerned, he can ask after it's confirmed what it is to restore the page history. Ss112 15:06, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Ss112: I have set Expectations (Bebe Rexha album) to "only administrators can edit it". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 00:14, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you but I meant can it be deleted along with the EP namespace Expectations (EP) I linked to and then prevented from being recreated? These editors have no idea what type of release it is. As I said, it could be anything and editors are inventing terms to apply to it. If they are concerned, surely they can apply after it is confirmed what it is to have the page history restored. Ss112 01:26, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Ss112: I have deleted it. As regards protecting it against re-creation, I found a pointer to a rule in Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection, and I would prefer advice about what I am allowed to do and what not in protecting a deleted page-name against re-creation. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

But the user will recreate it because they believe it's an album. It's happened several times now. Also, you may have missed above, the user also created Expectations (EP)—can you please delete that as well? I don't know what rule you're referring to, but the page has been deleted several times now. There has been no further news on if it's an album or not. If you do protect it, when it is confirmed as an album, then I don't see why a user can't just message you and ask for it to be unprotected with an official source stating such. Ss112 05:54, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Ss112: I have now deleted page Expectations (EP). But see above about the rule described in Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection, which I have come across. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I don't see anything in WP:ECP that says you can't protect a page from being recreated after it's been deleted several times for the same reason. "Extended confirmed protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against disruption that has not yet occurred"—some kind of "disruption" has occurred. It's been recreated and deleted at least three times now. There's nothing to say the users won't do it again. Jax could recreate the article right now if he wanted to, and the reasons it was deleted would still apply. Protecting a page from being recreated by non-admins isn't the same thing as ECP, is it?

Baby / Master for kids

I have a doubt. In Baby Meenakshi, "Baby" is not her name, its a term of endearment used to call female child actors, likewise, for boys it is "Master". Is this naming correct ? If WP:COMMONNAME is taken, then Baby Meenakshi definitely scores. But, shouldn't it be Meenakshi (child actor) ? Didn't saw any guideline for this. Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 15:17, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

• @Let There Be Sunshine: (I live in England.) What to call her may depend on how often she is called Baby Meenakshi and how often she is called anything else. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Okay. Thanks. BTW, Chala (marketplace) you moved on December 23 is now moved to Chalai Market, which is again not a proper noun.

Cleaning up after moves

Anthony, I've asked you this before, but I'll repeat it. When you move a page, especially (but not exclusively) to redirect a title to a disambiguation page, please check "What links here". When you moved Ring Around the Moon earlier, you (a) did not edit the disambiguation page Rings Around the Moon, which still contained a link to the old title, and made the actual article about the Space:1999 episode unreachable; and (b) did not fix at least three redirects to the title you moved, Ring Around The Moon (Space: 1999), Ring Around The Moon (Space: 1999 episode), and Ring Around The Moon (Space 1999 episode), which all pointed to the disambiguation page instead of the episode article. As I know that you are a responsible admin, I'm sure it was not your intention to leave broken links like this, but hopefully this will serve as a reminder to be more thorough in completing page moves. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:46, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Anthony -- The page for Michael Demers (artist) was recently deleted. The remarks say content was taken from LinkedIn (probably a list of exhibitions?).

Dominionism

I think you've made a mistake with this rename. The current name was, I think, the result of a merge discussion - i.e. "Dominionism" was merged into "Dominion Theology", and so should not be moved without discussion. In any case, it means the talk page is broken - it says, "The content of Dominionism was merged into Dominionism on 6 September 2013..." StAnselm (talk) 07:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

• @StAnselm: The merge between Dominionism and Dominion Theology was a text-merge (performed by User:Jfhutson in late August 2013‎), not a history-merge.

Help!

In ictu oculi is in the habit of making unilateral moves without discussion, and without even explaining in the edit summary. I think one of the reasons he keeps doing this is because there are no consequences. I hope you agree such actions should be discouraged. One way to do this, I think, is to revert any such moves and thus force him to make the case for the move. That's why I posted the technical request as I did. WP:RM address this:

• "If you disagree with such a move [moved without a discussion], and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons then you may request a technical move."

I suggest the correct course in these situation is not to challenge my technical request to revert an undiscussed move, but to grant the request (after all, I could have legitimately reverted if not for the technical limitation), and have the initial mover create an RM request per WP:RM. Thanks. --В²C ☎ 23:53, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

And you ☎ B2C are I'm afraid in the habit of not contributing to the encyclopaedia's content pages. What % of your edits over the last year have been actual improvements to content side - expanding and creating articles and navigation, adding graphics, adding sources? And what % of your edits have been arguing for your views on titling on Talk pages? or following editors as in this case? If I may be permitted a suggestion, perhaps you could find another editor to follow, or perhaps contribute to improving article content. Just a suggestion. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:58, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

• @In ictu oculi and Born2cycle: Please, what is this dispute about? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

This dispute is about three things:

1. IIO moved Kolossus to Kolossus (album) without discussion, despite there being no other topics called "Kolossus" with articles on WP (an inherently controversial move which should go through RM). I was unable to revert it per BRD and RM due to technical limitations, so I had to make a technical request to revert. I mistakenly put my request to revert this undiscussed move at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Contested_technical_requests instead of at the section specially designed for such requests at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requests_to_revert_undiscussed_moves. You apparently did not recognize that it was a request to revert an undiscussed move, and, instead of rubber stamping it and granting the revert request, you made it a formal RM at what is now Talk:Kolossus (album).
2. More importantly, IIO is in the habit of making these undiscussed moves quite frequently, moves that he knows are controversial and should go through RM, often doing so without even leaving explanation in the edit summary. His history is replete with examples of this. Many times I've requested he stop doing this over the years, to no avail. Suggestions?
3. IIO tries to deflect discussion of his problematic behavior by bringing up my low content-to-talk-page edit ratio, which is an obvious ad hominem red herring.

Those are the three things this dispute is about. --В²C ☎ 20:21, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

• @In ictu oculi and Born2cycle: Kolossus (disambiguation) lists 5 things called Kolossus that Wikipedia describes. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:00, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
• @In ictu oculi and Born2cycle: See Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves for instructions how to ask for a discussed page move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Anthony, that's a brand new dab page just created by IIO with mostly dubious entries. Only one entry on that dab page, the album name, is clearly legit; it's the only topic listed there that is actually named Kolossus. All the others violate WP:PTM: ("A disambiguation page is not a search index. Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion or reference. "). Note that Mega Shark vs. Kolossus is exactly "a link that includes the page title (Kolossus) in a longer proper name". This is why I wanted you to rubber-stamp revert in the first place. All these issues should all be sorted out first, in a discussion. Then, if consensus is established to disambiguate it, only then should it happen. Until then, his undiscussed unilateral and clearly controversial disambiguation move should be reverted.

IIO knows exactly how to request controversial and potentially controversial moves. He just often refuses to do it. I won't speculate why, because that would violate AGF. Anyway, what I requested - a revert of a page recently moved without discussion - is totally different, and even has a special section at WP:RM. Surely you know and understand this. --В²C ☎ 22:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)'

Defence, Karachi Wikipedia article

Hi Anthony Appleyard (talk · contribs) I see that you reverted Defence, Karachi to Defence Housing Authority, Karachi. I'd like to take this minute to explain why I made the move. The term "Defence Housing Authority" is not the name of the locality...it's the name of the the governing body of that neighbourhood. This would be akin to saying that somebody from London lives in the London Metropolitan Corporation. It makes no sense...when I requested the move, the it was opposed by two members who seem to have an extreme personal vendetta against me. I would implore you to see this dilemma from a common sense point of view..."Defence Housing Authority, Karachi" is not the name of a locality. --PAKHIGHWAY (talk) 21:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

• @Winged Blades of Godric: At 10:25, 6 February 2018 User:Winged Blades of Godric asked for a history-merge St. Joseph's High School, Mysore to St Joseph's Primary School, Mysore. St Joseph's Primary School, Mysore had only 2 edits, at 10:25, 6 February 2018 and 10:31, 6 February 2018, both by User:Winged Blades of Godric . But by then, the last user edit of St. Joseph's High School, Mysore was at 19:49, 6 February 2018 (plus a bot edit by AnomieBOT at 20:09, 6 February 2018‎), because User:Rms125a@hotmail.com had made 2 more edits, overtaking St Joseph's Primary School, Mysore.

Theodore Roosevelt TR

Hi Anthony, hope all is well. I was about to decline the Theodore Roosevelt techinical requests, but had been using them as an example for why I was declining granting the page mover right: mainly because I don't think it is uncontroversial to swap two independent articles, and I'm not even entirely sure if it should be an RM or a merge discussion. Someone else also seems to have commented, so I think it might be best to discuss these. Thanks for all your work manning that desk. TonyBallioni (talk)

• Hi, Anthony: I think TonyBallioni is referrring to my comment (Permalink). But I believe you moved the page while I was commenting, so it wasn't your fault entirely. I went there first, but I tarried the move so as to check issues and found it is needless and will either break long standing consistency in this category or require all the pages in the category to be moved as well; and that should, of course, not be done without discussion preferably. Though, it seems he now started moving the remaining pages Special:Contribs/Artix Kreiger which are not blocked by redirect, but they are many in number and many have such redirects which will require another RMT requests. –Ammarpad (talk) 10:15, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ammarpad:, Hey, I made that request simply because numerous other articles, not just in the category, are in the format of "NAME bibliography". Aside from the 2 I mentioned, you have examples of Peter F. Hamilton bibliography, George Orwell bibliography, etc. Also ping Tony Ballioni, where WP:BIBLIOGRAPHY will point to Wikipedia:WikiProject Bibliographies#Recommended_structure and says A bibliography of an author such as Mark Twain should be named Mark Twain bibliography.. Artix Kreiger (talk) 14:19, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

• @Artix Kreiger: The articles in Category:Bibliographies of Presidents of the United States use consistent title before you requested the above move and before you moved the ones not blocked by redirect.
• If you want move whole pages in category to align it with format recommended by Essay of WP:BIBLIOGRAPHY, that needs discussion.
• Your request and the moves you performed now breaks their title consistency some were moved, one not.
• And now I just understand that the former title (Bibliography of Theodore Roosevelt) is consistent with recommendation of the essay you cited above: It says Topical bibliographies where the topic is a person should be named: Bibliography of works on John Doe.. In that article, the works are about Theodore Roosevelt not by Theodore Roosevelt.
• The current title Theodore Roosevelt bibliography should only be used for work written by Theodore Roosevelt himself.
• Mark Twain bibliography contains Works written by Mark Twain not about him
• So, generally the former title was correct and consistent throughout that category. You only misunderstood the essay. I suggest you should reread it again. Now the pages you moved must be moved back to their correct titles. –Ammarpad (talk) 14:47, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Tony Luke

@Let There Be Sunshine:, I believe as WP:COMMONNAME Tony Luke should be either moved to Tony Luke (actor) or back to Tony Luke Kocherry with the current Tony Luke page set as a disamg, I don't believe most people searching for Tony Luke are looking for this actor any objections? Valoem ^{talk contrib} 17:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

@Valoem: How does WP:COMMONNAME supports the proposed Tony Luke (actor) ? Kocherry is not part of his name. Searching "Tony Luke" also displays Tony Luke Jr., so what's the confusion ? Actor is also primary topic. --Let There Be Sunshine 18:37, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

round robin of Robin Bush

Hi.
I recently performed a round robin move between Robin Bush (historian), and Robin Bush; per this move discussion. Previously, Robin Bush was a dab page. Now after the move, the history of Robin Bush is okay, but the history of [[:Robin Bush]] is illogical as it shows the history of the dab page. Do you think moving/merging the history of the dab page with Pauline Robinson Bush would be appropriate? Strangely, a lot of edits like this, are about Pauline Robinson Bush. I am not sure when the article Pauline Robinson Bush was created. I mean, I can see it was created on July 9, 2005; but the history is muddled with redirecting and stuff. What do you think? What can be done and should be done? Kindly ping while replying. Thanks, —usernamekiran(talk) 08:14, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

• @Usernamekiran: (If the original page Robin Bush was the disambig page, it would have been better to merely move Robin Bush to Robin Bush (disambiguation) and then Robin Bush (historian) to Robin Bush, and their talk pages with them, and not to try round-robins.) To tidy up I have moved Robin Bush (historian) to Robin Bush (disambiguation), then Talk:Robin Bush (historian) to Talk:Robin Bush/Archive 1; then I redirected Robin Bush (historian) to Robin Bush. (The history of page Pauline Robinson Bush contains 9 edits (all redirects), and no information text.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:59, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Deletion rationale

Might I ask what you to clarify your rationale for the deletion of Taltopia? From the content, I assume you were going for A7? ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:14, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

• @Amorymeltzer: At 05:38, 9 March 2018, User:Clappingsimon speedy-delete-tagged it as WP:NN (= not notable) because Taltopia's website and domain do not exist. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:22, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Yes indeed, but the tag and delete rationale seem more appropriate for a PROD tag, hence my asking. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:31, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
    • From my limited knowledge of this, I get the impression that a PROD would have been more appropriate, because even if the subject doesn't exist anymore (akin to a dead person) there exists a slim chance that it might have been notable before it disappeared. Probably not, but I get the impression it wouldn't hurt to give somebody who knows more about it the opportunity to comment. Dr. Vogel (talk) 17:56, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, please answer ASAP.

It is a clear violation of CSD G4/8! I have reviewed it and the subject is an icon of Ethiopian football, he is one of the youngest players ever to reach these merits and per relevance criteria is very-accepted for a note, It's bizarre it was deleted and I am expecting it to become put back ASAP, thank you. Per GNG he is notable CSD G4 require an identical text which it very was not. Please re-put the article ASAP... I via GNG request the article to be re-created and any bias in regards to former deletion is not ideal when notability is explained, I expect it to become re-input. The subject has received compliments from a nationality football president while coverage has been made in platforms such as TV, radio, magazines, and media, it is very clear coverage and via GNG he is at the very least acceptable. As mentioned I expect it to become re-published ASAP and at the very least the article sourcing could increase which wikipedians can do. Good day & best regards—Avaay (talk) 22:41, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

• @Joe Roe and The Mighty Glen: I did not history-merge Draft talk:Jamie Langton and Talk:Jamie Langton; I text-merged them. Draft talk:Jamie Langton contained the messages only; and Talk:Jamie Langton contained the header boxes only, so I text-merged them. Page Draft:Jamie Langton and page Jamie Langton were about the same man, and Jamie Langton was obviously a cut-and-paste move of Draft:Jamie Langton. I often have to text-merge talk pages after I have history-merged their articles. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I see. Well, how can I recover his original user talk page posts from Draft talk:Jamie Langton back to User talk:Jamie Langton, without losing the edit history? The Mighty Glen (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I don't think that's what happened, Anthony. You merged User talk:Jamie Langton with Talk:Jamie Langton [4]. It was only afterwards that Dial911 moved it to Draft talk:Jamie Langton [5]. Histmerge or "text-merge", I don't understand why you'd move user talk page messages to an article talk page. It has contributed to making a mess that has thoroughly confused the editor in question; see User talk:Dial911#Speedy deletion declined: Jamie langton. Are you going to help put them back in the right place, or should I just cut and paste? – Joe (talk) 07:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

• @The Mighty Glen and Joe Roe: I have reversed the history-merge, as far as I can. Draft talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1 contains the original thread that had the messages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:38, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Anthony. But apart from the edit history of his user talk page, other editors will want to know the history of Jamie Langton (and Jamie langton. Can Draft talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1 be histmerged to User talk:Jamie Langton?

This mess, incidentally, is nobody's fault but the article creator's. He's a WP:SPA self-promoter, whose user page should have been speedied db-U5 a long time ago. After copypasting it (unsourced) to Jamie Langton, he then began making changes to the user page, rather than the BLP-prodded main space article. Deleting the whole lot is tempting, but the subject appears to be notable, so we're stuck with cleaning up his mess. The Mighty Glen (talk) 08:44, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

• @The Mighty Glen and Joe Roe: As far as I can tell, the article was started at 20:51, 11 August 2009‎ by User:Jamie Langton [was he the same man as the article is about???], at name Jamie langton, and in March 2018 was moved to Jamie Langton and then to Draft:Jamie Langton. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:48, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, that's right. And User talk:Jamie Langton was histmerged yesterday to Talk:Jamie Langton, which then had various changes made to it.

Hello,

History merge of Hong Kong Telecom and Cable & Wireless HKT

Speedy deletion nomination of Belly flop

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Belly flop, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Governor-General of South Africa

Hey Anthony, I think it might have been a mistake to revert to the old title given what is being said in the Talk:Governor-General of the Union of South Africa#Requested move 24 March 2018. I did note my opposition to reverting to the old title, and moving it back now, kinda screws up the move request. --Tærkast (Discuss) 17:07, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

• @TaerkastUA: I have reverted this move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:10, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
• Anthony Appleyard, you've misundertood this situation. This is WP:FAITACCOMPLI. The article was created in 2003 with "Governor General of the Union of South Africa". The title has been stable for 13 years until when it was requested to be moved and I declined the request and start RM. You cut the RM and moved the page as technical request. Now, once technical request is contested it can't be redone with full RM. The title must be restored to its stable title which has been so for over a decade. The valid RM is the one I started, which seeks to change title of over 10 years. I hope you understand me. Thanks. –Ammarpad (talk) 17:19, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
• @TaerkastUA and Ammarpad: I seem to be caught in the middle of a dispute. The log says:-
  • Governor-General of the Union of South Africa :: original name

  • 17:02, 24 March 2018‎: moved to Governor-General of the Union of South Africa: Requested by Ammarpad at WP:RM/TR
  • 17:09, 24 March 2018: moved to Governor-General of South Africa: rv a move which TaerkastUA had queried
    • This is at the right end of the move route for the current discussion at Talk:Governor-General of South Africa#Requested move 24 March 2018 to work. Best wait and see what that discussion decides. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:31, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
      • No, Anthony, the right thing is to restore the original name, and start discussion from there. For instance, I cannot move Apple Inc. to Apple and now say, it cannot be moved back except without discussion; that what is explained in WP:FAITACCOMPLI and ArbCom has ruling on it. It is not allowed. You can ask other Admins for input. –Ammarpad (talk) 17:40, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
• @TaerkastUA, Ammarpad, and Htonl: The current discussion at Talk:Governor-General of South Africa#Requested move 24 March 2018 had already started, and to me the best course is not to move the page again (until the discussion has run its course and produced a verdict), and thus not force that discussion to restart. And I see that a third-party (User:Htonl) has got into that discussion. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 00:13, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
  • On the question of procedure, I agree with Ammarpad: the correct way is to discuss this as a requested move from Governor-General of the Union of South Africa (the title before this whole back-and-forth started) to Governor-General of South Africa. Which is what we seem to be doing now. - htonl (talk) 09:26, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Restoring or Requesting a recreation of a deleted page

Hi Anthony. I'm contacting you on behalf of the Company I work for, that you recently deleted a page of — TFI Markets. It seems the Wikipedia editor/user that initially created the page (Euclidthalis ) was blocked citing reasons of copyright violations . I wanted to know if you could help me on how to get at least the source code of the article page now that it has been deleted, and a way on how to restore our Company page. Also if you could suggest how we could request unbiased edits so the page can be updated correctly. Please also note that we added a Company Business article page request here Wikipedia / Requested Business Articles. We appreciate any help and feedback you can give us. Aesop Arterberry (talk) 11:42, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

• @Aesop Arterberry: Article TFI Markets was tagged (not by me) for speedy deletion because of these faults:
  • "As a page created by a banned or blocked user (Euclidthalis) in violation of his ban or block, with no substantial edits by others. See Wikipedia:G5."
  • "Because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. See Wikipedia:G11."
    • The contents of TFI Markets appear to be a routine advertisement for a financial service. See WP:SPAM.
    • About the message sent to you at User talk:Euclidthalis#April 2016 "You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating copyright policy by copying text or images into Wikipedia from another source ... " (sent by User:Diannaa), is the apparent copying is because you or your firm put the same text into Wikipedia and into another website? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:36, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
• @Anthony Appleyard:Our username was mentioned by another Wikipedia user for the deletion of the page. That is how we know this deletion occurred. In any case, we submitted a Company article request / creation as mentioned above and we hope it is correct. I understand that there must be good reasons for a Company to be written into a Wikipedia article page and be justified, so if you can suggest any tips for submitting the request better, we would appreciate your input.
  • If I were to recreate the article using the Article Wizard and submit it for edits/corrections by other editors until it is properly created, would you consider this a proper approach? Aesop Arterberry (talk) 11:42, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
• @Aesop Arterberry: See if it works; but first well read WP:NN (notability guide) and WP:NPOV (neutral point of view) and WP:SPAM (no advertizing).

Janet Boyman

Hi Anthony, I am not going to spend too much time with this, but I would like to request if you could look at the revision history of this article again and the corresponding situation: Simply put, editor 1 requested (a valid request) db-G7 with one of their page creations where they are the only author after an unrelated dispute; editor 2 has been negatively involved with editor 1 in the past, requested undeletion of that page after it was deleted initially (also a valid request). Editor 1 then requested draftifying to user space (also a valid request). It's a silly situation, but your latest action, done in good faith, may be in the boundaries of WP:WHEEL. I would prefer if you could revert the page move, but if not I am fine with it too. Regards, Alex Shih (talk) 11:55, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

To put it slightly more robustly: AA has absolutely wheel-warred and has done so through full protection. That's two counts of misuse of tools just to start with. —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap shit room} 12:00, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard I'd like to apologise for the above comment made in a heated moment if I may; it lacks the degree of good faith that you deserve and should expect. I realise (belatedly) that it is probably much easier to accidentally edit through protection than it seems to a non-admin; afterall, you don't get to hit a brick wall to remind you! Anyway, we've always got along, I think, and I'd feel I let myself down if I've done anything to change that. Hoping you accept this, and thanks for reading. Take care, —SerialNumber54129 ^{paranoia /cheap shit room} 18:31, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

My full protection was unusual, so I wouldn't put it that way; but the situation itself was highly unusual and needn't to happen in the first place. The db-G7 was a valid request, the undeletion request was however controversial given both the situation (the relationship between these two editors) and the timing (pinging Graeme Bartlett). I thought draftifying was the best way to move forward with minimum drama, but if anyone thinks otherwise I am happy to oblige. Alex Shih (talk) 12:06, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

You know someone thinks otherwise from our exchange on my talk page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:09, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

[ec] Never mind that Alex Shih, an involved admin, wheel-warred - without any discussion - with the admin who undeleted the article, and restored it to article space, after a request at WP:REFUND. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:09, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

One reversal of a G7 was enough, and now a whole lot of moves, including protection. A G7 from an annoyed editor is probably in "bad faith", so I would restore any of those on request. Following WP:BRD it is about time for a discussion. Include others in addition to Pigsonthewing and Sagaciousphil to see if Wikipedia is improved by having this page or not. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:16, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm looking through the history of this, but I can't see the background to "A G7 from an annoyed editor is probably in "bad faith"": I'm trying to AGF in why you've made that comment Graeme, but maybe your mind-reading skills are better than mine, as I don't see any grounds for saying there was bad faith in that request. - SchroCat (talk) 12:33, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

See User talk:Sagaciousphil. WP:Point may be a better term than bad faith though. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:48, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

So you'll strike your "bad faith" comment? WP seems to be moving into a position which dehumanises editors, and expects petty posting of SD not to ruffle feathers. It's "odd" why someone so deeply entrenched in the IB kerfuffles decides to get involved in such a minor backwater of an article to request undeletion, but I don't know what their motivation was for taking such a dramah-mongering step. -

    • I think you probably have been caught in a user dispute. I have no idea why a user decided to move a potentially unfinished article from userspace to mainspace without discussing it with the person who started it, nor why that user did a second time when it was moved back again. That is something that should probably be examined more closely, and how they came to find that tiny backwater of an article. Add: (Having said that, you missed one more move off your list: 12:45, 29 March 2018‎, where you moved it back into mainspace from userspace once again). FWIW, I think it's probably best moved back to userspace to allow it to be worked on a little more, but there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that I'll be the one to do it! - SchroCat (talk) 13:33, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Query about history-merge requests by User:Fukumoto

• @Fukumoto: You called for a history-merge from Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum to Attaque Team Gusto. But the edits currently at Attaque Team Gusto are about a Taiwanese UCI Continental cycling team established in 2014, and Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum is a Slovenian UCI Continental cycling team established in 2014. I see no connection between these two. By following a link I found a page Team Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum; pages Team Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum and Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum are WP:Parallel histories and so cannot easily be history-merged with each other. What you want me to do with what? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:20, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for looking into this. What I understand is:

• Attaque Team Gusto (ATG) was originally based in Taiwan [7]
• In 2017, ATG moved registration to Slovenia [8]
• In 2018, ATG was changed to Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum (LJU) ([9] (in Japanese)). It looks like Team Rog–Ljubljana (ROG) merged ATG to form LJU. en.wikipedia page Rog–Ljubljana was moved to Team Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum

• en.wikipedia page Attaque Team Gusto was moved to Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum.[11] Then the content was practically blanked to a redirect to Team Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum.[12]
• The old content of Attaque Team Gusto was (mostly) copypasted. [13]

So I think the page Attaque Team Gusto should inherit the history of the page Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum.

deletion of Draft:St. John the Evangelist Catholic School (Carmichael)

You deleted Draft:St. John the Evangelist Catholic School (Carmichael) under WP:CSD#G3 (Blatent hoax). As far as I can see, the "hoax" consists of the fact that the infobox in the draft incorrectly lists this as a K-12 school, while the body text correctly lists it as a K-8 school. That looks more like a simple error to me, than a hoax, much less a blatant hoax. Please undelete this draft. It may or may not be possible to establish the notability of this school -- I know that primary schools are often not notable. But this did not fit G3, and I don't think it fit any of the CSD. Deleting a newcomer's contribution under an inapplicable speedy seems to me to implicate WP:BITE. I noticed this due to the Teahouse thread about the page.

Deletion (Ontario Alliance)

Afternoon I am a bit lost as to why i am up for speedy deletion. I have a political party here in Ontario Canada called the ontario alliance, i have founded it and now have taken over as leader again as we move towards an election. I gave ref. For who i am and used our ontario elections websites to confirm the info.

I am attempting to link the ontario alliance with my name William cook. To my own page as i have been active in politics for many years.

Can you re post the article so i can correct the issue as our election here is coming up quickly

Thank you for your help William BGOS 62 (talk) 23:54, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

• @BGOS 62: At 04:14, 8 April 2018 I deleted page William Cook (Ontario Alliance), because someone had speedy-delete-tagged it as WP:CSD#A7 (= not notable). Its current text reads "William Cook is 51 years old and is a farmer from the counties of Grey and Bruce in the province of Ontario. He is currently the Interim Leader of the [1]Ontario Alliance party which plans on contesting the 2018 June election in Ontario. His political background is membership in the Reform party of Canada from 1990-2003, ran independent Reform in the 2003 Ontario provincial election, started the Representative party of Ontario in 2005 and contested the Dufferin-Peel-Wellington-Grey by-election of that year, joined the provincial Reform party of Ontario in 2007 and ran in the provincial election of 2007 as a Reform party candidate in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound riding. His most recent membership at the federal level was with the [2]Liberal party of Canada in 2013, having joined to support Martha Hall Findlay for party leadership. William reserved the Ontario Alliance name with [3]Elections Ontario in 2016 and it was registered in the fall of 2017. The goal of the Ontario Alliance is to become Ontario's version of the Saskatchewan party in this province.". The English Wikipedia contains no (not deleted) articles whose names contain "Ontario Alliance", except Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools. Please, what is the current status of the Ontario Alliance party?, since nobody has written a surviving article about it yet. I live in England, and I have no detailed knowledge of Canadian politics. I have looked up the 3 reference links in page William Cook (Ontario Alliance). It may be advisable to wait until this new political party becomes notable enough to be mentioned in important newspapers.

Hello,

Thanks for letting me know about your rejection of my request to hist-merge the pages.

Freaky Friday (Lil Dicky song) moves

Hi Anthony. Yet another user has taken it upon themselves to re-move Freaky Friday (Lil Dicky song) from Freaky Friday (song). Per WP:NCMDAB, it is the only song titled "Freaky Friday" with an article and therefore "(song)" suffices as a disambiguator. I've seen you moving it recently upon request and merging several of its versions' histories, so I thought you might have wanted it to remain at "(song)"? If you can do this, can you also maybe disable it from being moved until/unless a move request is filed? I think this move-revert-move game has gone on long enough. Thanks. Ss112 14:57, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

• @Ss112: It may as well stay where it is and avoid a move war. Freaky Friday (disambiguation) shows that there is another song named Freaky Friday, even if there is not a separate Wikipedia article about it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:04, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
  • But then why does WP:NCMDAB exist and cite a precedent where it was established an article can be located at "(song)" if no other song of the same name currently has an article? And KingAndGod has exacerbated said move war. Ss112 15:06, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
• @Ss112:  Done Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:11, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Tuning of the diatonic scale

but

I just wrote a new section about the "Tuning" section of Diatonic scales in the talk page of that article. Your comments would be welcome. — Hucbald.SaintAmand (talk) 08:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

We may perhaps better sort some of the problems here, before trying to correct the article itself. I start from a conviction that you did not originally write the points of Diatonic scale about which I disagree, and that therefore you don't consider yourself the "owner" of the article. If this is so, there is perhaps no reason for you to try and correct the article according to what you understand of my objections: I could correct it myself, and my only reason for not having done it before is that I did not want to act agressively with respects to authors who added their contribution in good faith. I think to understand that you are a major Wikipedian; our discussion may concern basic aspects of the WP project.

I contributed to both recent editions of the New Grove, the "6th edition" – the first "New Grove" (1980, if my memory doesn't fail) – and 2001 (the 2d edition, which became the Online edition). The recommendations given for the first edition were that we should take a "lexical" point of view: what was discussed, in any of the articles, should be what as understood by the name of the article.

I take this to be an extremely sound advice and that anything included in an encyclopedic article should only concern not only that particular article, but more specifically the lexical meaning of that article's title. In the case of the Diatonic scale article in WP, anything that it includes should be about ... diatonic scale. This sounds so evident that it should not even deserve discussion.

Yet, I have the feeling that some of the content of the article was added there because the authors did not really know where else to include it – or even because they did not want to include it where it belonged, because it would less easily be made to fit there, as it would have contradicted the main points made in those articles.

If we start from the idea that an article about Diatonic scale should deal with just that, and that matters that eventually concern the chromatic scale, or its various tuning, or the various commas, should be moved to these articles (and made coherent with them − which may be the real problem!!!), then I think that my implicitly suggested modifications should make little problem. I don't (yet) want to say that the statements that I criticize are wrong (even if I think they are), I merely mean that they certainly don't belong to this article.

My impression is that your attempts at correcting these statements do not reach the core of the problem, which is that these statements (independently of their intrinsic value) do not belong there. For instance, it will be much easier for me to demonstrate that twelve fifths in just intonation cannot result in a difference of a Pythagorean comma as soon as this is no more seen in the context of the diatonic scale (the definition of which precisely is that it does not consist in more than six fifths).

Your mention of the fact that Wagner once described a disturbing wind by an additional sharp (can you be more specific about where he did so?) is interesting, but it only means that Wagner described the disturbance by leaving the diatonic scale. It says nothing about the problems of the article − all the less so that this additional sharp may not have resulted from an "additional fifth" (I doubt this, besides: such additional alterations usually result from the modification of a third).

If you can help

A cut and paste move was done from a section of the village pump to a subpage of the Village Pump. Can its history be merged to the subpage? Would it be a daunting task if so? Would you be willing to spearhead the histmerge if possible? It involves this edit although the mover misstates the move in summary as a reference desk page, it was the RfC to end the system of portals. Thank you.--John Cline (talk) 08:36, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

• @John Cline:: It seems that Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals was started by partial cut-and-paste from . If so, this seems to be a standard case of text-split, and regrettably history-merge can't be done here. In the English Wikipedia, if part of page X was cut out and used to start a new page Y, the history of X before the split can be under X or under Y but not under both. (This could be done on the German Wikipedia, which has a feature called cloning, where all the edits of X before the split are duplicated and a copy of them is moved to be under Y.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:45, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

  Thank you, I appreciate your reply. Did I understand correctly that at the moment of splitting, it could then be split to a new page with history intact, but not after a cut and paste split without history has occurred?--John Cline (talk) 07:41, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

• @John Cline: I could split off the history of X before the split and then move it to Y. But that would merely cut one history to rejoin another history. And in this case, the history of Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) before the split would contain edits to every subject discussed in 'Village pump (proposals)', not only edits about the subject "Ending the system of portals".

• @Zanhe: Someone else may have copied that message about. I found those edits deleted under Talk:Mạc Thái Tổ. Article Mạc Thái Tổ's history mentions many moves. That same message occurs in Talk:Mạc Đăng Dung. (Mạc Đăng Dung's posthumous name was Mạc Thái Tổ; he was an emperor of Vietnam.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:26, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Oh I see. Someone just copied that 2006 message from Talk:Mạc Đăng Dung to Talk:Mạc Thái Tổ in 2017. Thanks for solving the puzzle. -Zanhe (talk) 06:18, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello sir Anthony

How are you? I'm Chuck. Reccently I have been editing and viewing 24/7 live new pages including recent changes. I feel; being rollbacker(or new page reviewr/autopatrolled) would be something that would be efficient for me via my contrb. - You may feel it is a slightly too soon, however I have a great ambition and if I could get one of these rights to increase my contrb efficiency rate, well that would be splendid. I also have a suggestion that I could go on a test run with your suppervision, and via that you'll see how good I use the tools. You can also see that I have nominated many speedy deletions and also edited new pages instantly. I plan on having a great ambition and impact and I really hope you see what I want to do here - May I get one of these rights? If rollback seems a slight too soon, I can atleast take to be autopatrolled -- KnowledgeChuck (talk) 21:30, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Redirect Untitled Michelle Wolf weekly show

As the one who moved a show article to The Break with Michelle Wolf, can you please restore the deleted revisions for Untitled Michelle Wolf weekly show and retarget that to The Break with Michelle Wolf? The redirect was deleted as a broken redirect, but could have easily been retargeted. Also, please restore all the deleted revisions for Untitled Michelle Wolf talk show, Untitled Michelle Wolf variety show, Talk:Untitled Michelle Wolf talk show, and Talk:Untitled Michelle Wolf variety show. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 21:37, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

• @GeoffreyT2000: The deleted edits of the pages that you list here, are all merely redirects and speedy-delete-taggings and a blanking. Untitled Michelle Wolf weekly show has no incoming links. There is nothing there worth keeping. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:46, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Eminem albums discography

Per my comments here, this should not have gone through a history merge when was something supposed to be split into a whole new separate page rather than a repeat of the old article. Please reverse that merge. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:47, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

• @SNUGGUMS: At 19:17, 4 May 2018‎ User:Barkeep49 inserted the history-merge request which I obeyed: see this edit-compare. When I examined the histories of those 2 pages, before I merged them, they were not WP:Parallel histories, and their edit history seemed to run continuously from one page to the other: a classical example of cut-and-paste move. If this history must be split, please where should it be split? In User talk:SNUGGUMS#Eminem discography, "When separating one's discography into an albums discography article and a songs discography article", what should be done when splitting a page into 2 pages, is to cut out part of page Eminem albums discography and put it in a new page. A complete cut-and-paste move is unadvisable and cuts the history, and sometimes tracing references and copyright needs tracking back through edit history. If a page must be split into 2 smaller pages, then a partial cut-and-paste move may be necessary, and a history note describing what happened should be put at the start of the daughter page's talk page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:08, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• Barkeep49 was wrong to insert that history merge request and probably didn't see how the original page looked before other splits from it were made (also listed songs and videos rather than simply albums). The edit histories also didn't "run continuously from one page to the other"; the albums discography was meant to start things over just like songs discography and videography pages were when split off from the base while the base was supposed to just redirect to Eminem#Discography as it served no further purpose once split. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:15, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• @SNUGGUMS: But please, where should the history of Eminem albums discography be split? Its history shows from 13:42, 4 May 2018 on a gradual size reduction as parts are split off. When a big page is split into several smaller pages, there is nothing wrong with the parent page's history remaining under one of the daughter pages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:21, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• The base article's original history should have be kept in tact as it was pre-merge and same goes for albums discography page. The user Jax 0677 simply neglected to move the albums content to the appropriate page (which was previously a redirect) when splitting out the pages. It also doesn't really make sense to give one new page past history when the others get to start their own histories. More consistent when each gets to form their own. References and copyright can be searched in base page's history if needed, though sorry if the lack of a note in an edit summary or talk page describing the split created concerns over tracing. Maybe something like "Split from Eminem discography" would help. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:32, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• @SNUGGUMS: But, where should the history of page Eminem albums discography be split? At 13:42, 4 May 2018, or when? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:41, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• Given my edit converting the albums discography page into an actual article from a redirect at 16:36, 4 May 2018 UTC, the edits made to base page before then should be kept in that page (I redirected to Eminem#Discography around the same time as its final edit though cannot directly access that anymore as a non-admin due to the merge). As a result, 15:20, 4 May 2018 UTC seems to be the most recent revision before the base was redirected. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:49, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• @SNUGGUMS: There is a complication here :: Eminem albums discography has had well over 3000 edits, and as a result I as an ordinary administrator cannot temporarily delete it as part of the history-split; I would have to ask an administrator who has a special privilege to do it for me. There are various cases when a big page was split and one of the daughter pages ended up with the old history of the original big single page. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:01, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
• Since I was pinged just want to clarify that my involvement, knowing we are all responsible for edits we make. I saw this page come up through NPP. Looking at recent history I saw that this had been a redirect and then wasn't. Not understanding why it suddenly needed what appeared to be a duplicate article I reverted. When that was undone (with explanation for why article need exists) I wanted to restore the page to what it had been before my revert which included a histmerg introduced by another editor here. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:34, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
• In that case Anthony, if you do know an admin who is allowed to reverse such merges, then it would be best for him/her to do so ASAP. I should note though that it was the original base page that had so many edits beforehand while the original albums discography page at most had ten. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:23, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
• @SNUGGUMS and Barkeep49: I have put the request in. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:57, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• Many thanks for that! The sooner this gets reversed, the better. Snuggums (talk / edits) 22:40, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

• @SNUGGUMS and Barkeep49: Bad luck, sorry, unlikely to be done; so says the latest message (by User:Graham87 at 08:32, 6 May 2018) in Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Request to an admin who has the power to delete pages that have over 3000 edits; see also https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eminem_albums_discography&action=info .

The Business Council of Mongolia

Dear Mr Appleyard,

I'm Buyanbat, a business analyst in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. One of the most notable players in Mongolian private sector is the Business Council of Mongolia (BCM), that comprises of 250 member companies from Mongolian and overseas. I drafted the first version of this organization on Wikipedia, however, I found it deleted by you due to relevant rules. I believe a page/article about this organization is well deserved to be on Wikipedia, as many investors and local peers are interested in cooperating with the BCM. Recently, the organization led a working group along with American Chamber of Commerce in Ulaanbaatar and other business associations to influence the Ministry of Finance of Mongolia on new bills for taxation. Previously, the BCM has hosted several notable international organizations, and I'm sure that many businessmen, researchers and investors are seeking for the BCM on Google, Yahoo, Bing and others. I want BCM to be on the first line of search engine's result when a person types "BCM" or "Business Council of Mongolia", therefore, as a huge fan of Wikipedia, I want to contribute to both the BCM and Wikipedia. I have some reliable sources that I can use to build the page. Please instruct me on how I should create this page in English, as well as in Russian, Chinese and Mongolian. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Buyanbat — Preceding unsigned comment added by Buyanbat04 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

A question regarding your recent deletion of Sarah Stierch

You deleted this page (Sarah Stierch) even though it was a redirect to a page that was neither nonexistent nor tagged for speedy deletion, meaning that the criterion under which it was tagged for speedy deletion did not apply. So since it seems to have been a mistake that you deleted it would you be willing to restore it? If you say no it doesn't really matter, I suppose, since I can just re-create the redirect, but I wanted to ask to clarify what happened here. Every morning (there's a halo...) 13:38, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Sarah's no longer listed on the page that that redirect went to, so the deletion makes sense; strictly speaking, the CSD doesn't apply, but the spirit of the CSD holds, I'd say. Definitely no reason to recreate it though; there's no reason to redirect her name to that list if she's not on it. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 13:43, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

• @Everymorning: See here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:51, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Ah yes, thanks. I get the idea and I asked the question above just because I thought she was still listed on the target page, and had forgotten that she had been removed. Never mind. Every morning (there's a halo...) 14:06, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Rubricarum Instructum requested move

Greetings! @John Cline: @IVORK: @Chicbyaccident: In the case of Catholic Church encyclicals and other papal documents, in 2015 on WT:CATHOLIC, consensus was established to migrate from the status quo of title case, to the sentence-case incipit format more appropriate for the Latin/European milieu. Discussion was here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Catholicism/Archive 2015#Article naming convention for Latin documents identified by incipits; WP:CONSENSUS was upheld by assent to over 152 edits and page moves by Esoglou who spearheaded the undertaking. He was assisted by other editors, and to my knowledge was not reverted or subjected to any significant dispute, thereby demonstrating unanimous consensus. Therefore I would question the propriety of attempting to override that consensus by having such a localized move discussion on a single talk page for only four articles. I suggest to Chicbyaccident that she take up the torch of moving pages (Esoglou and I are unable) and if consensus should devolve, then we will revisit this in another appropriately-broad discussion. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 19:37, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Parallel version advice

Hello Anthony Appleyard!

I was seeking some advice re: a parallel version of a page, but I'm not quite ready for the move yet. Five years ago as an IP I split some content from an article and eventually I created an account and userfied it. I want to move it to mainspace over a redirect but of course intervening edits have complicated things. The page I want to move is here (page history) and I want to move it here (page history). What would be the best way to eventually proceed with this move? Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 05:59, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

International School of Temple Arts

Hi! I worked on the International School of Temple Arts (ISTA) article. I do remember placing non-primary sources on that article that were independent of ISTA. While I agree that some of its tone was promotional, I do not think that it was "exclusively promotional" as per WP:G11 even though I think it would be best rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION.

In advance of speedy deletion, I am accustomed to seeing {{Db-g11}}, {{Db-promo}}, or {{Db-spam}} placed on the article first. I do not believe that this was done, thus no one had a chance to contest the speedy deletion. Therefore, I humbly ask that you restore the article with that notice. At the very least, it would give editors the chance to grab the wikicode so that as articles from reliable sources accrue, more NPOV content can be added & notability can be firmly established for a future iteration. At the very best, it would have given editors the chance to address the concerns.

I believe that ISTA will continue to grow & become more notable, much like others in the Category:Human sexuality organizations & Category:Sexology. If you object adding this back to the main namespace, then perhaps this can be added to the Draft: namespace or to a user sandbox until it is ready for prime time. I do believe that just deleting the article before placing a speedy delete notice does a disservice to those editors, myself included, who did work on the article in good faith.

Please undo all the page moves that you actioned following requests on 25-26 May 2018 by Dicklyon (talk · contribs) at WP:RM/TR, because they were not uncontroversial, as Dicklyon knows full well. They tried to steamroller them through as a batch (see Portal talk:Roads of Canada#Requested move 14 May 2018) and after opposition, withdrew the nom - but then seems to have unilaterally decided to RM/TR them anyway. This is by no means the first time that Dicklyon has been disruptive with page names. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:19, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Probably he means Portal:UK railways, since it's only one we didn't do an RM discussion specifically on yet. I don't see that there was any expressed or potential controversy about that one, but if he wants it reverted and a discussion held like the rest, which have all resulted in moves, mosty without any opposition, we can do that, as I had offered already at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_UK_Railways#Proposal_to_retitle_UK_Railways_portal. Dicklyon (talk) 22:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

• @Redrose64 and Dicklyon: And again I am caught up in a dispute. Please list here the names of the pages involved and what I should move them back to. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:58, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

  I think the only one in question is Portal:UK railways; no others were moved by RMTR without a closed as move RM discussion. I'd prefer to leave it, but if Redrose64 prefers to revert to Portal:UK Railways (with subpages) and have an RM discussion, we should do that. My impression was that all the objections in the previous RM that he cited has been sufficiently addressed at the very recent RM discussions at Portal talk:Roads of Canada, Portal talk:UK trams, Portal talk:UK waterways, and Portal talk:London transport. I don't know why he wants to cap "Railways", as nobody has commented on that. Dicklyon (talk) 05:26, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

  Perhaps, with time to reflect, he has realized that such a revert would be disruptive and is not really what he wants. Dicklyon (talk) 15:26, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

  Does Redrose call anything he doesn't quite agree with "disruptive"? Tony (talk) 05:19, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

MC Mack

Can you please stop unsalting the MC Mack article? It's the same sock who keeps requesting it be unsalted and recreated. It's partially my fault for not explaining it to you last time, but I'm completely baffled that he has duped you twice now. How closely do you review these things? The article is in terrible shape and clearly doesn't meet the GNG. It's been deleted multiple times this year. At the very least, please consult me the next time there's a request to unsalt it yet again. If it's a brand new editor yet again creating themselves, then, bombshell, it's another sock.

Speedy deletion of Sunethradevi Pirivena

Hi there,

It seems you have made a mistake in deleting the article. The Wikipedia article dates back to 2012, but the article it is supposedly copied from was published in 2014. It is thus a copy from Wikipedia.

I did not write the full article, from my memory I only wrote a basic stub. But the origin of the content is definitely not the article in question.

• @Legacypac and SounderBruce: User:SounderBruce seems to have done most of the edits to the page which is now at User:SounderBruce/Sandbox/Martin Luther King Jr. Way (Seattle). If this road is as important as the article says, it is time that the article was moved to mainspace. (The article says that Martin Luther King Jr. Way is also called MLK Way. How often is it called MLK Way? Is there any tendency for that name to colloquially shift into "Milky Way"? Unfortunately, I have never been to America.) Google Earth view. Google Earth view lists Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Seattle and in Berkeley, California, and Martin Luther King Junior Way in Tacoma, Washington. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:47, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
  • The mainspace move was done without consensus from major contributors (in this case, me), which goes against the collaborative nature of Wikipedia. Half of the history section lacks prose, there's gaps in the early history (including, importantly, when the road was actually built), so it can't be reasonably called a complete work. I moved it back into userspace so that it could be worked on properly, as I plan to bring it to GAN only when it's fully ready. SounderBruce 04:15, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
• @Legacypac and SounderBruce: If this article was in mainspace as it is :: (1) even as it is, it contains useful information; (2) other people who live in the area may see the article and improve it.

Re - removing speedy templates

Change to "speedy delete for copyvio"?

Hey, thank you for closing this, but I worry your close wording might be misleading: the AFD's original rationale was a supposed lack of notability, but the nom only apparently searched for English sources, and since the book has not apparently been officially licensed and translated (the nom mentioned only finding pirate scanlations) it's a given that such sources are unlikely to exist regardless of notability. I was about to start doing a check for Japanese sources when I read our article, noticed it looked plagiarized, and when I verified this suspicion !voted speedy delete for this reason in spite of the notability rationale.

Simply closing as "delete" seems like consensus endorsed the nom's rationale and places a greater burden on anyone theoretically wanting to create a non-copyvio article in the future. I never actually got around to that source check, and honestly my dislike of pop culture articles in general biases me in favour of deletion regardless of the quality of the sources I would have found, which is why I probably wouldn't have !voted to begin with were it not for the copyvio. (I know the community has a lower standard than I do when it comes to using popular entertainment sources, and I generally try to avoid fighting those battles.)

Guardian Bikes should not be speedy deleted because it was initially approved by Bkissin and is a notable, significant US bicycle manufacturer

Hi,

The Guardian Bikes page should not have been speedily deleted because it was initially approved by User:Bkissin. Speedy deletion seems a bit harsh for a legitimate stub with good sourcing that was initially approved. Guardian Bikes is significant because they created an innovative, patented braking technology that is akin to anti-lock brakes in automobiles. Hence, their bikes have significantly reduced accidents and have increased bicycle safety. They have been recognized as an industry leader in this regard.

Additionally, they have appeared on one of the most popular entrepreneurship programs, Shark Tank, and procured investment from one of the most successful US investors in Mark Cuban. You'll find many of Cuban's other notable companies he's invested in on Wikipedia. Guardian Bikes definitely meets the bar for entry as one of the world's leading bike manufacturers. Would love any feedback as to why this happened and how to get the page approved.

Thank you!

Unnecessarily long and tediously detailed

A couple of questions, if I may. Would you apply that term also to List of chief ministers of England and Great Britain? Do you perhaps believe that Great Britain and the United Kingdom are the same thing? Moonraker (talk) 00:24, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

• @Moonraker::
  1. Great Britain includes Wales and Scotland; England does not: this distinction is valid.
  2. Great Britain according to Wikipedia does not include Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom currently includes Northern Ireland.
  • Anthony Appleyard (talk) 03:47, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Correct, in the 21st century, although as it happens the Kingdom of England referred to in that title did include Wales; but not an answer my first question, about whether List of chief ministers of England and Great Britain as a title is "unecessarily long and tediously detailed". If you do think so, which of those two countries would you wish to remove from the name of the page? If you don't, where is the difference between the two cases?

Michael Ludwig

Hi Anthony, a few hours ago I requested that Michael Ludwig (politician) be moved to Michael Ludwig. You removed the request as "done", but what you actually did was make the latter a redirect to the former. (Could have done that myself :)) Accident, or some policy I don't know about? Kramler (talk) 23:08, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

• @Kramler: That way, all incoming links go to disambiguated names, and none to the plain name. That results in less trouble later changing incoming links if the other Michael Ludwig is later judged to be the most notable, or if a third Michael Ludwig turns up. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 03:35, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm not super sure about the trouble thing. The politician will have lots of incoming links sooner or later, but judging from what I've seen in other articles mainly edited by Austrians, people will mostly link to the redirect. If we don't want to do the move, we should probably turn the redirect into a proper dab. This way editors at least get a warning from the bot when they link to the wrong (un-disambiguated) lemma. (I updated all incoming links to the fencer after I moved the fencer out of the way. If I hadn't done that, your edit would have made them go to the wrong article :))

Having said that, I'm positive the move is safe. As the mayor of Vienna and the boss of the Vienna Social Democratic party, Michael Ludwig (politician) is one of the ten or so most powerful officeholders in the country. He's a national household name. He will appear in literally thousands of newspaper articles and in quite a few books. There is no way the retired fencer who never won anything will later judged to be more notable. It's extremely unlikely the politician will stop being the primary topic for his own name in our lifetimes. (It's not a very common name; not even the German Wikipedia currently has a third Michael Ludwig.)

What do you think, move or dab? Kramler (talk) 04:35, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Arvanites (disambiguation), Unnecessary?

I see that you deleted the page I created earlier today, "Arvanites (disambiguation)". I am aware that the page was not complete yet, and was planning to continue tonight. Can you explain why you find it unnecessary? The reason I created the page is the following: The term Arvanites, and the corresponding Arnautes, Albanesi and Albanians are found in old texts, engravings etc with the sence of a soldier (usually in Napoleonic Army, in Russia, the Ionian Islands under the British etc). There are many dictionaries and footnotes in history books explaining this meaning, to avoid reader's missunderstanding. This explanation is also found in modern publications. Therefore, this second meaning is deemed necessary by old and new authors.

I tried to include this second meaning in the LEAD of article Arvanites, but it was immediately deleted by various users who patrol that article. One claimed that is "irrelevant", others did not give any reason [17] [18]. Understandably, people of Albanian ethnicity are not happy with this, but WP is not ethnocentric, is it?

Waiting your answer. Thanks.--Skylax30 (talk) 21:11, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring the request. New editors generally do it when they want to delete their account and they add the tag in request, so it looks like the case with Daniel Caldera. Most of time editor active at that pages (including me) remove such tags, but today I saw the tag when you removed the request. Anyways Thanks again. :) ‐‐1997kB (talk) 11:01, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Ki'ens

I'm skeptical that this is a properly encyclopedic addition. It's an unsourced generality without any context or real content. We could probably have some material on this, if people have actually produced reliable-source material on kittens and art (and the "why" of kittens and art), but I don't think it would look much like that sentence. And we generally don't need entire sections for single sentences. Are kittens really more frequently the subject of art than other things, e.g. wine bottles and baskets of fruit?  :-)

I guess the central question is: did you have something in mind for expanding on this? Cats in art redirects to Cat, so there was presumably some at least skeletal material about the broader topic at one point. Might be worth digging out of the page history, to see if the material can be combined into a viable article section or stand-alone article.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  10:27, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

• @SMcCandlish: The section Cat#Depictions of cats in art was a gallery that contained these 5 images:
  • File:Chimú Jar with Small Looped Handles and Feline Design ca. 1100-1400.jpg Jar with Small Looped Handles and Feline Design, Chimú c. 1100-1400. Brooklyn Museum
  • File:Figure of a Cat made by Meissen Porcelain Factory, Germany ca. 1800.jpg Figure of a Cat made by Meissen Porcelain Factory, Saxony c. 1800. Brooklyn Museum*
  • File:Cats from Unai no tomo by Shimizu Seifu. Japan, 1891-1923.jpg Cats from Unai no tomo by Shimizu Seifu. Japan, 1891-1923. Brooklyn Museum
  • File:Cat Bookend, One of Pair Manufactured by Chase Brass & Copper Co. 1930-1935.jpg Pair of Cat Bookends manufactured by Chase Brass & Copper Co., USA c. 1930-1935. Brooklyn Museum
  • File:Kitten reading a book.jpg Cat illustration by the German artist Fedor Flinzer, called Raphael of Cats.
  • I have added a {{section-stub}} tag to the section Kitten#In art. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:51, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

    I brought it up at WT:WPCATS; we probably should have an article on cats and art, or at least a section. We even have Dogs playing poker (more about the overall genre than the the specific painting Dogs Playing Poker), so it's just a matter of editorial focus (there are more "dog people" writing WP than "cat people", one would surmise).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  11:00, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Module:Flaglist/size/doc

You deleted Module:Flaglist/size/doc. I assume that was because Module:Flaglist/size was moved to Module:Flaglist. Please review the situation and possibly undelete the /doc page.

I review Category:Pages with script errors and it had several articles with a scripting error. Troubleshooting showed that examples like {{fb|SUI|align=yes}} gave the error and the error was avoided by removing |align=yes. The code is too hard for me to want to figure out at the moment but I noticed that the problem seemed to be due to a recent move of the above module. I reversed the move and that fixed the script errors. Johnuniq (talk) 05:33, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks, I'm not suggesting you did anything that should not have been done. I just want the script errors in articles to go away! I don't have time to investigate what happened since I posted here but this link shows articles with script errors. Fifteen minutes ago that had a single entry (Australia women's national field hockey team results (2010–19) due to exceeding template include size—difficult to fix). It now has 110 articles; I'll look for the problem later. Johnuniq (talk) 05:56, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Blade Strangers

Hi, I was hoping you could restore the Blade Strangers page? I realize it was created by a banned user, but I and several other editors heavily rewrote it and updated it with reliable sources to ensure it met notability, and I'd hate for that effort spent improving it to be wasted just because of its first contributor's bad reputation. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 16:52, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Atomic hydrogen

Hi, Anthony! I have just noticed your comments at talk:atomic hydrogen from 2008. The situation of that article or redirect is not very clear, given that the section Mono-atomic form from the article Hydrogen has disappeared. Could atomic hydrogen be again a stand-alone article as it once was, also with short mentions at Hydrogen about the article Atomic hydrogen?--5.2.200.163 (talk) 15:32, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Helllo 5.2.200.163. You might be looking for the type of material in this web link. E.g. stability of a pure gas of dissociated hydrogen atoms? This kind of thing might belong in Hydrogen which is more oriented to 'chemical' issues, rather than Hydrogen atom which is mostly physics. If the behavior of monatomic hydrogen is what you're looking for, see if you can propose some new text at Talk:Hydrogen. Since Hydrogen is already a featured article this would need to be carefully done. EdJohnston (talk) 15:57, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

Deletetion of an informational page re: the .460 Rowland caliber

Mr. Appleyard:

You have apparently, if I understand how this works, elected to unilaterally remove a web page providing information to the public about a unique cartridge caliber. This page is not an advertising venue, though we are thankful it exists because it is many people's primary source for learning about the round.

Can you explain why it was deleted and what steps can be taken to reverse that? We would appreciate your information navigating this process is somewhat daunting to a non-Wikipedia expert.

If our username (the name of our company) is an issue that can easily be addressed. It was our intent to be transparent when we created the username some time ago. We did NOT create the page, though we have contributed to it occasionally and corrected technical misinformation. We followed a link to rename our user account and it brought us here.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Child Family Health International

Hi, I am trying to edit the Child Family Health International page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Child_Family_Health_International). I submitted it for review yesterday and it appears it has been deleted? I am not sure why the page was deleted for "unambiguous promotion." I really need to figure out how to get that page back up in some form, so if you could let me know what I should change so that the page doesn't count as "unambiguous promotion" that would be much appreciated.

Deletion of IBill

You deleted IBill with the reason "not in English", however this reason is explicitly not a reason for speedy deletion as detailed at WP:NOTCSD, can you undo your deletion so that the page can be reverted to the version that existed before someone spammed their non-english and probably non-notable company on the page?
