Non-admin closure of Ell & Nikki AfD article - No proper consensus

Hi, did you close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ell & Nikki discussion? I do not believe that you should've done it as no proper consensus has been reached. So far only those that were involved in the discussion were editors mainly involved with the WikiProject Eurovision and the frequent editors of the article itself who were strongly against this action before it has been proposed. It needs the evaluation of other editors and not just those within these sectors of Wikipedia.

My purpose of nominating that for deletion was for those from WikiProject Music to also get involved. My reason for wanting to delete the article is because I feel that there is no need to treat Ell & Nikki as a group/duo act in this site when I strongly believe they should be treated as separate artists who won the Eurovision Song Contest together much like how Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan who won the Eurovision Song Contest 1994 with Rock 'n' Roll Kids. Therefore I opened that AfD for the article to let other users outside WikiProject Eurovision to evaluate it properly. I have already left a message on WikiProject Music's talk page but I received no responses. I suggest re-opening this discussion and then moving it to an appropriate page such as this here instead since the article is also under this project's scope. Also please don't reply on my talk page. Just here instead. Thank you :-) Bleubeatle (talk) 02:07, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

There was a clear consensus to Keep the article. Bleubeatle I admire your enthusiasm to have this article deleted. But you are fighting against community consensus and WP:MUSIC guidelines. Cheers.--BabbaQ (talk) 07:43, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes. The article instantly gained nine reasoned keeps and no deletes, this is the case of WP:SNOW. Further voting there seems to be pointless. Brandmeister^talk 08:53, 9 June 2012 (UTC

Can Bluebeatle explain how he reached the conclusion that WikiProject Eurovision members were "strongly against this action before it has been proposed"? How does one know what other editors think about a proposal before they even propose it to them? In any case, the opinion of WikiProject Eurovision members is as valid as those from WikiProject Music, and discarding the opinion of either project is inappropriate and would not represent a "proper" consensus. I count four non-WikiProject Eurovision editors who commented, all of whom were opposed to deletion, so I think it is fair to conclude that this proposal has been rejected and that closure was appropriate. This result is probably due to the lack of a valid policy based reason for deletion; Bleubeatle's reading of WP:BIO1E was incorrect, as explained in the AfD. CT Cooper · talk 10:49, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

CT Copper, a lot of users came to my talk page before I created that AfD discussion. It was right after I proposed the deletion and before I nominated the article for deletion. I've read the WP:BIO1E article already before nominating it for deletion. I wanted to get the evaluation of non-WikiProject Eurovision users as well that's all. Please don't assume that I have no precise knowledge of the topic as my only intention was to help Bleubeatle (talk) 01:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

I have made no comment which claims that you have no knowledge of the topic, nor that you hadn't read BIO1E, only that you had misunderstood BIO1E, which I stand by based on the evidence presented to me. CT Cooper · talk 22:04, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

2011 proposals to change the rules of royal succession in the Commonwealth realms renamed?

Why? it is a> Not just "British", b> it is not a "fait-accomplit" and has not been passed into law in all 16 realms. --Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎 21:46, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Yep, that was a bad move. We spent some time coming up with the best (albeit long) title when we started the page, and as nothing has yet been approved - except in principle by PMs - nothing has happened to warrant changing the original title. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:20, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

I think Brandmeister is confusing a few things and does not understand the democratic process of the "western world". A Prime minister can approve that the line of succession rules be changed, but that does not make the changes happen. In most commonwealth realms, different laws have to be passed to update the rules in their realm, which takes time. In Canada, for example, it has been argued that not only the federal government would have to pass the laws, but all 10 provinces would also have to agree to amend the constitution, as it would be a change to the office of "Queen". Until any or all the realms pass the appropriate laws to update the rules, it is still just a proposal.--Education does not equal common sense. 我不在乎 22:52, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Warning: In the Azerbaijan article, the map of Azerbaijan showing its de-jure borders is relentlessly being replaced with map which shows Nagorno-Karabakh as a legitimate entity

User:MauriManya is relentlessly replacing in the infobox of the Azerbaijan article, the map "Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg" which shows Azerbaijan with its de-jure borders and is replacing it with the map "Azerbaijan with Nagorno Karabakh and region.svg" which shows Nagorno-Karabakh as a legitimate entity. The user is not impartial and neutral and is only and relentlessly doing this unilateral map replacement in the Azerbaijan article, but interstingly enough not in other articles of countries which are in the same situation as Azerbaijan. Could you watch this user and revert his unilateral map replacements of Azerbaijan in the country article.

Move question

Why did you move Terror Attacks in Kenya to Terrorism in Kenya? The article dealt with a specific series of incidents, rather than terrorism as a whole, so it seems to me like Terror Attacks in Kenya would be a better title. CMD (talk) 16:33, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

We did not have Terrorism in Kenya before. I think all terrorist attacks in Kenya can be currently accommodated within Terrorism in Kenya, unless the info on attacks is too big, thus justifying the split. Brandmeister^talk 16:53, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Urgent! In Wikimedia Commons, could you revert User:MauriManya's unilateral edition Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg denying the map to Wikipedia users showing the de-jure borders of Azerbaijan (even though there is already an alternative map of Azerbaijan showing de facto situation with Nagorno-Karabakh)

In Wikimedia Commons, could you revert User:MauriManya's unilateral edition Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg where s/he put Nagorno-Karabakh in it, without waiting for the response or permission of the creator User:Night w who seems to be currently inactive since June 2012. The problem is that many Wikipedia pages use this map showing the de-jure borders of Azerbaijan (without showing Nagorno-Karabakh). And as there is already an alternative map Azerbaijan (orthographic projection).svg with Nagorno-Karabakh in it, could you revert that user's unilateral edition to its original state of the User:Night w? Unfortunately the User:MauriManya has violated this by exploiting User:Night w's absence and is deliberately denying the map to Wikipedia users in its original state because that user has a political agenda.

Thank you

I'm sorry Brandmeister, but you've been at Wikipedia long enough to watch out for your third revert in this case, which you did not. Anyhow, I have now fully protected the article for a week's time so you and others may discuss what to keep and what to remove.

Your reverts at Ramil Safarov

Brandmeister, following the two reverts you made at the article today although it is under a clearly visible sanction of one revert per week for any editor, and given my final warning and your backlog of Armenia/Azerbaijan-related issues I have now reported you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. My suggestion there is an indefinite topic ban for you. Please feel free to comment over there. De728631 (talk) 17:55, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I would not comment on AN any longer, but after doing this [1] [2] [3], [4] (a 3RR violation, although you might argue about enforcing BLP rules), you did this [5][6], a few days after the notice of editing restriction, and now denying the obvious? Not a good idea. My very best wishes (talk) 15:52, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't see whose actions this alleged revert undid. On September 8 the sumgait.info issue has been solved. By September 13 we had a completely unsourced claim, that was properly treated in accordance with WP:Verifiability in particular. Brandmeister^talk 16:43, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

The motive is obvious from reading the article. Hence I do not mind if it would be excluded from the infobox, exactly as I said in RSN discussion you linked to. There is another problem: you made a serious of reverts in the beginning of September. Then you came back, soon after the article was placed under 1RR restriction, made the same revert and still believe it was not revert. If so, you are going to be banned. Unless you realize your mistake and will not repeat it. My very best wishes (talk) 17:06, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

It was not "the same revert", but an ordinary edit made in accordance with the existing verifiability policy. After sumgait.info has been discouraged, the infobox claim became completely unsourced. The article's talkpage has an explicit BLP disclaimer, saying that "contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately".

Notice to administrators: In a March 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."

These two categories have been listed at WP:CFDWM since the discussion was closed on 3 February 2012, but no editor has undertaken the task.
This message is not intended to suggest that doing this work is your job or that there is an expectation that you will do it. This identical message is being given to all participants in the discussion and is simply a notification of this fact and a reminder that if the contents of the category are not converted into a list, the category may be deleted without that list being created. Thank you, Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 23:48, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Hey Brandmeister

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Salam. Azərbaycan məqaləsindən iki şəkili çıxarmanızı nə ilə izah edirsiz? Xan sarayının fotosu onsuz da memarlıq başlığında göstərilib. Təkrarən daha bir fotonun tarix başlığında verilməsinin nə mənası var? Hörmətlə --Urek Meniashvili (talk) 19:18, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Məncə Midiyalılar şəkili Azərbaycan xalqı məqaləsinə daha daxildir, həmçinin Midiyalılar sadəcə nəzəriyyədir. İstədiyinizin versiyanı saxlamaq bilərsiniz, amma məncə Commons-da Azərbaycana dair daha yaxşı şəkillər tapmaq olar. Brandmeister^talk 19:30, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Diqqət göstərdiyinizə görə təşəkkür edirəm. Amma, gördüyünüz kimi midiyalılarla bağlı şəkildə bunun qəbul edilmiş konkret fikir yox, bəzi mənbələrin göstərdiyi fikir olduğunu qeyd etmişəm. Şəkilin alt yazısını istədiyiniz kimi redaktə edə bilərsiz, amma şəkilin məqalədən çıxarılmasının əlehinəyəm. Çünki, məncə bu Azərbaycan tarixinin qədim dövrünün istinad edə biləcəyimiz nadir nümunələrindəndir. O ki, qaldı Yeliseyin şəklinin məqaləyə əlavə edilməsinə, məncə bu da, Azərbaycan tarixinin ən mühüm məqamlarından biridir. Çünki o, I əsrdə Azərbaycan tayfaları arasında din təbliğ edərək, Alban kilsəsinin əsasını qoymuşdur və bu kilsə, XVIII əsrə qədər albanların (həm də alban torpaqlarının) qərb qonşularından mühafizəsi və assimilyasiyasının qarşısının alınması üçün mühüm rola malik olmuşdur. Azərbaycan tarixinin ən qədim səhifələrini əks etdirən bu şəklin də məqalədə qalmasının tərəfindəyəm. Qeyd etdiyim ki, Şəki xan sarayının daha yaxşı fotosunu isə memarlıq bölməsində, saraydan olan divar rəsmini isə (Qarabağinin çəkdiyi) rəssamlıq bölməsində yerləşdirmişəm.

• есть правда и маленький интерес.... (сюда я попал из [[9]] где сказано что вы пользователь к которому можно обратиться на русском). Вас как вики-дракона я как вики-утконос, хочу спросить о том что мне на русском форуме указали узнать на английском форуме или в где-то ещё в англо-вики.

вопросик, как применить источники из РФ ?, сугубо ради придания нейтральности местной статьи (ничего тут глобально переписывать не собираюсь),есть перевод самой правки от опытного знатока языка, и есть сам источник с субтитрами на английском. Дело в том что такие источники как ИТАРР-ТАСС и Россия-24 (ТВ) вдруг оказались не авторитетными совсем, что то на уровне блога. Правку рубят, за плохие источники. Перевод уже исправлен. Пару раз обращался на пару местных форумов, или тишина, или НЕ тот форум, пишут.Rqasd (talk) 15:20, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

И вас с наступающим! В Вики (даже в нерусских версиях, в частности здесь) такие источники обычно допустимы, но все зависит от конкретной информации, которые они подтверждают. Во многих случаях лучше поискать более надежные источники, чем ТВ-выпуски, особенно если что-то оспаривается или сомнительно. Но если, например, речь идет о цитировании чьих-то слов, реплике, телепередаче, телеведущем или журналисте, то такие источники как раз подходят. Brandmeister^talk 15:40, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

nazi germany

someone changed the intro of nazi germany from the original which is better:

Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are common names for Germany during the period from 1933 to 1945, when its government was controlled by Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the state.

to this:

Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are common names for Germany during the period from 1933 to 1945, when its government was controlled by the National Socialist German Workers' Party, commonly known as the Nazi Party, with Adolf Hitler as Führer. Under Hitler's rule, Germany was transformed into a fascist totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the state through hierarchical institutions.

am asking for a third opinion, which do you think is better? Ionchari (talk) 12:18, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

I think the latter version (i.e. the current one) is better, its wording looks more specific to me (such as fascist totalitarian state, not just totalitarian state as in the Stalin's case, for instance). Brandmeister^talk 17:52, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

These users constantly change the correct article name of Ermenikend into the incorrect name of "Armenikend".

Support merging the Ermenikend article with the Armenians of Baku article. The article is interwined with the former Armenian community of Baku and is not separate from it.
