• Hi anthony, You can't really add that comment as who was increasigly considering it a fake? It is our personal weight added to the story, it is another conspiracy theory..it is easier to keep the comment simple and allow the reader to go and have a look for himself, it is a comment on the documentory...it's better left out.

• I not too sure what has happened to the move you made for me but some one as moved it back to where we moved it from with no discussion, and this could become develop into an editing war, which I and trying to avoid, as the editor who made this move does not appear to understand logical discussion but only her personal point of view can you help out there. The move you made for me was From
  Reading Comprehension By User:WhatamIdoing. can you step in and put things right dolfrog (talk
  ) 23:48, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
• "What happened" is that both of the editors who responded on the talk page thought that the move was a bad idea.

  "Understanding what's written on a page" (otherwise known as "reading comprehension") is simply not a US-specific topic, even if most of the current content uses examples based on the US's practices. The importance of understanding what you're reading predates the existence of the United States by about five millenia.

  Anthony, please consider any similar requests from Dolfrog more carefully in the future. You couldn't have known, but he has made many similar requests. His major goal seems to be forking as many education- and dyslexia-related articles as possible into country-specific articles. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:56, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

• Hi, I notice that you deleted this page around March 2009, can I know why you deleted this page? I would like to start a page about Edwin, but I just dont want to make the previous contributor mistake and get it delete again. Thanks ! ~E (talk) 01:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
• Page Edwin Siu contained merely "{{db-nocontext}} Edwin Siu is an actor/singer for TVB". A useful article should contain more information than that. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm still a newbie here so I'll apologize if I ask something silly here. I have created a sandbox page in here: [1]. Can you take a look and give me some feedback? Would that be enough to be a stub? Thanks ~E (talk) 01:23, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Just letting you know that the bot didn't transclude the Alfalfa RM properly because the first text at Talk:Alfalfa#Title wasn't in the normal format. I've fixed it somewhat haphazardly, hopefully the bot won't overwrite it. Anyway, I think it would've been better to let the user who made the original request start the RM themselves, in case they wanted to change their rationale or if they'd changed their mind about the request entirely. -kotra (talk) 23:15, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

• Hi, There has been cut n' paste edit war movement between these two - the disam page was at plain "State" - see latest talk section there. What is now "State" is mostly from "Sovereign state" with a new lead & bits - again cut n' paste I think. It's all rather a mess I'm afraid. Cheers, Johnbod (talk) 12:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

• Hi, Anthony, I saw your reversions to Falconiformes. I got it wrong with the Dutch article, but I'm not clear why the others were restored. One is a direct link to a commercial site (equivalent to putting a link to Amazon on every book page), the other very short page adds nothing to what is already in the article. Just wondering Jimfbleak. Talk to me 10:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
  1. http://www.eeb.cornell.edu/winkler/botw/falconiformes.html is a useful description of species.
  2. http://www.falconiformes.nl is merely trying to be useful: that firm's site is difficult to Google search for.

Also on Talk:Sts Thomas Minster.

• Hi, I attempted to rename
  St Thomas's Minster to the correct style Sts Thomas Minster by creating a new page and adding a redirect on the original page. I appreciate now that this method meant the history was not merged amd request to mege was added which you completed with due diligence. However, I note that the new article is again rendered in the incorrect single form St Thomas Minster. The official web site has the titles The Minster Church of Sts Thomas, http://www.newportparish.org.uk/ Newport Minster (Sts Thomas) and Newport Minster http://www.newportparish.org.uk/. Hence, any of these should be used in preference to both my proposed title or the existing one (according to preferred styles) although I may sugggest, since it is Newpot Minster and "Sts Thomas" is used in popular reference to the church, the title with parenthesis might be best (?). Whichever title, it remains that all references in the articles should be to the plural form Sts as per the proper title. Thank you for your help Dainamo (talk

  List of National Parks of the Republic of China to some other name, I will do so. Anthony Appleyard (talk
  ) 16:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Interesting, ok. My first instinct is to say let it be to avoid anyone else move-warring, but I may be paranoid. The "sourced" name would be simply "National Parks of Taiwan" [2] without the prefix "List of" (the article has grown beyond a list). SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Re: This I have a copy of the book, and that is the title on the title page. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:35, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

• In an effort to improve the writing and content of the entry on Naturopathy, I made some changes last night to the subheading Naturopathic doctors. I am unclear as to why my changes were reverted. All of my changes were appropriately cited and the grammar and structure of the entry was improved, and more importantly, the content was not significantly changed. My main reasons for changing the current entry are:

-That variations on the phrase "homeopathy ... pseudoscience ... quackery" appear no less than three times in the entry. That's just bad writing. Nonetheless, I understand the importance attached to these words, and so left them in, while at least improving the general writing style of the entry.

-That the phrase "scientifically disproven" can't be validated. It is nearly impossible to fully prove a scientific theory, and likewise it is nearly impossible to fully disprove something as well. The two articles I cited contradict the statement 'scientifically disproven'. The phrase 'highly disputed' is more accurate.

-The phrase 'irreconcilable with modern science and medicine' was altered only because I was starting a new sentence and I wanted to improve grammar.

-The entry is not clear regarding on what grounds the Massachusetts Medical Society objected to licensing naturopaths, and so I expanded that sentence to reflect the content of the citation given.

Can you please tell me why the changes were reverted? I am unclear about the comment 'Deleted to make way for move'.. Kpaddock (talk) 16:41, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

• Best look at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Naturopathy&action=history and ask the various people who edited page Naturopathy after you, and start a discussion in Talk:Naturopathy. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:54, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Did I simply not provide enough?

• Hi Anthony, I see you've used the word "hole" in the phrase "Reasonable care must be taken not to hole or tear membrane dry suits" -- I understand that you've heard the term used many times before, but I don't think it can be deemed to be encyclopaedic language? Hole isn't a verb, unless used in a slang way -- "puncture", even if it may only mean "making a small hole" to you, is still correct here.... in the same way as an iceberg can puncture the hull of a ship... perhaps "rupture" would work better?

I checked Hymn and "processional" does not appear in its article. Consequently, hymn should not appear on a disambiguation page from Processional.

Hi, Anthony! How do you propose a whole group of pages for deletion? I have stumbled across a collection of pages that IMO can only be described as spamming. Could you take a look at this situation, and if you agree the individual subjects are not “notable” and not worthy of having a Wikipedia article apiece, could you maybe take the necessary steps to merge them and/or delete the minor ones? It seems to me they need to be looked at as a group, not as individual pages, but I don't know if there is any mechanism to do that.

Here's the problem: When someone set up the article about the San Diego Trolley, in addition to the main article which is fine, they created twenty or more individual articles about individual trolley stops. Each stop is already listed on the main page, so the articles about the individual stops are redundant, and most of them are stubs.

Here’s the list of pages I would propose for deletion:

• San Ysidro Transit Center
• Gillespie Field (San Diego Trolley station)
• Arnele Avenue (San Diego Trolley station)
• El Cajon Transit Center
• Amaya Drive (San Diego Trolley station)
• Grossmont Transit Center
• Santee Town Center (San Diego Trolley station)
• 70th Street (San Diego Trolley station)
• Alvarado Medical Center (San Diego Trolley station)
• Mission San Diego (San Diego Trolley station)
• Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego Trolley station)
• Fenton Parkway (San Diego Trolley station)
• Rio Vista (San Diego Trolley station)
• Mission Valley Center (San Diego Trolley station)
• Hazard Center (San Diego Trolley station)
• Fashion Valley Transit Center
• Morena/Linda Vista (San Diego Trolley station)

And possibly also, although they contain slightly more content than the pages listed above:

• Old Town Transit Center
• Grantville (San Diego Trolley station)

In addition, each of the three trolley lines has its own article:

• Blue Line (MTS)
• Green Line (MTS)
• Orange Line (MTS)

again duplicating what is at San Diego Trolley.

And then to complete the spam, they created FIVE special categories for all these semi-worthless pages! And also two special templates - which in themselves were given their own category! The categories are:

• Category:San Diego Trolley stations
• Category:San Diego Trolley lines
• Category:San Diego Trolley
• Category:San Diego Trolley templates
• Category:San Diego Trolley Blue Line

I really thing this is spamming. There is no way all this stuff is "notable". A single article, San Diego Trolley, should be sufficient IMO. If you agree, can you take some action to clean house? Thanks a lot!

Hi, regarding swim fins, I'd renamed the category Flip-fin to "fin variants" and added in Shin-Fin and Force fin, as they are all variants on paddle fins, but differ only in the style of attachment. Flip fin was retained in the text, but I'd toned down the detail of it, as no other brands are comprehensively discussed the fin types (Apart from Mor-fin, but they're weird enough to have a category of their own.). Also I'd changed the "commercial site with images" to a reference link, as I didn't think the inline text was necessary. I'd be grateful if you could have another look at it (Also the edits I'd made), as I feel the section reads a bit like an advertorial as it is, and could be modified to include other variants in attachement architecture.

• So what has happened to the original 2006 stub and to my edit summary when I changed it to a redirect? I thought the idea of these history merges was to preserve the history instead of replacing it by a jumble of versions related to a recent page creation. Now we have a talk page that appears to be two years older than the page itself, and readers cannot see what was being discussed. JonH (talk) 20:21, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
• Is the other matter at Clipstone, Bedfordshire/version 2? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:33, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
• Yes, that is where it has gone. It is only a stub and a redirect, so they do not matter that much. But it would be clearer if the history of Clipstone, Bedfordshire showed all the revisions that were actually there, together with the changes that Christopher spence and others had intended to make to the article.

• Hi! Could you give me a hand with a history merge that I'm trying to do? I moved
  Ashworth University, thus deleting 104 revisions of the original page. I wanted to restore 101 of them, thus merging the histories of the two pages. When I restored the revisions, however, they don't appear in the article's history at all. The history still shows the link to "104 deleted revisions", but when I follow the link there are only the three revisions left that I didn't want to include in the merge. The deletion log for the page correctly states that I restored 101 revisions, yet still the page history doesn't show the restored revisions. Have you run into such a problem? Am I perhaps doing something wrong? Thanks, Jafeluv (talk

I just speedied a bunch of redirects with "redirect" in their name you created (by moving redirects) in April. Since these pages had always been redirects they can simply be overwritten/deleted/CSD'd as appropriate. Since this was in April you probably know this by know, but just in case I thought I'd drop you a note. Rich Farmbrough, 14:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC).

Ah well it would seem not per this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cantonese_%28linguistics%29/redirects&redirect=no. You are an admin, these redirect pages have no useful history (they just track the move of the target - which tells us almost nothing). Just speedy them, unless they have any content in the history.

• Hi Anthony, regarding this move you did, may I ask where you were asked to do it? Your edit summary says you were asked, but I don't see your talkpage. I'm not complaining about it, I'm just wondering—I don't really have a strong position in the dispute there, but I think we're just making more and more of a mess by continuing to move things when there's not yet a consensus on what to do in the long-term.
