Hi Anthony, the discussion to move the page is here and not settled. Personally, I like the move because maybe it will just end the problem. Would you please comment on the talk page about the move you just made? I opened a section at the bottom of the talk page. We might get lucky and everybody will be happy. So don't move it back yet. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 22:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Anthony, you'll have to move the page back as the issue apparently is not settled, and it does seem that this move was not appropriate given that it is not uncontroversial. Even the discussion on the WP:Med project page is leaning towards use of 'outbreak,' and two editors have taken exception to the move you've made. It simply can't stand, I'm afraid. I thought your page move might sort things the easy way, but no such luck. Please move it back, asap. Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 03:55, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Looks like an unnecessary dab to me, with several non-notable articles. Why split the merged dab when it results in two dabs without enough articles? In itself that's already odd, but also there's something odd going with the IP editor, who's using a COI edit request and may or may not have some sort of connection with the SPA (/ COI) editors of the company article listed in the dab. Widefox; talk 00:00, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

• I propose to decline all of these technical requests without prejudice to new discussion in any appropriate forum. The probability is that most of these files would wind up getting moved twice (once to restore the capitals, and once to remove them again per eventual consensus). Since Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, I don't see enough reason for the double moves. If another admin (such as yourself) thinks it is more correct to go ahead with the technical move I won't object. EdJohnston (talk) 19:59, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

I sharply disagree with EdJohnston. Most of these moves were highly incorrect, and rendered proper nouns without capital letters. This entirely inappropriate. Perhaps there were some cases that might've needed to be rendered in lowercase, but these were very few. Purely by virtue of

WP:BRD, if people are disputing these mass moves, then they should be reverted. It has nothing to do with bureaucracy, and everything to do with making sure that consensus approves these changes. As it stands, I oppose the vast majority of the moves carried out by DagosNavy, and I'm not the only one. RGloucester — ☎

20:22, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Can you identify a specific title where this argument applies? We could put through one or two move discussions for the most obvious cases and then consider a technical move of the rest if it appears that consensus prefers upper case in all these cases. As you know

WP:BRD is an essay not a policy. EdJohnston (talk

) 20:31, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

I shouldn't need to be the one to start a requested move. The longstanding titles should remain per

WP:TITLECHANGES, unless consensus dictates otherwise. It isn't my job to start the RM, it is the job of the person who wants to move these articles away from their longstanding titles. It would be one thing if this was not controversial, but it clearly is. In that case, there is no justification for a mass de-capitalisation campaign. RGloucester — ☎

20:33, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

• That seems to depend on whether any particular noun-equivalent is a proper-name or a description or both or neither. Whether the only known big riot at Xtown is the Xtown riot or the Xtown Riot seems to be a matter of personal preference and how much people go in for importance capitalizing. Long ago before I became an admin I saw a routine difference of opinion producing over a megabyte of arguing. Whichever side I obey, the other side complains at me. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:41, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

• OK, I'll move the 36 articles back, and open a regular move discussion for the first one in the list. I'll wait a few minutes for any more comments. EdJohnston (talk) 20:49, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Late to the party, but just a comment that you might want to be very careful about "noncontroversial" "technical" moves of animal breed articles. See [12]. There is huge drama over the animal naming stuff, mostly surrounding one person's problem with unilateral moves without consensus. Montanabw^(talk) 06:38, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Nice personal attack. I've made no unilateral moves of any kind in almost four months, other than to my own user pages, and some drafts, sandboxes, etc. Even the two (and only two) direct moves of animal breed articles I've done in that time span (yesterday) are fully defensible under at least 6 different criteria, including a huge raft of recent RMs, and I did them manually just to prove the point that a usual suspect would violate

SMc made "no unilateral moves" because he was RESTRICTED from doing so until a week or two ago!

• Hi Anthony- if you're going to create a dab page, could you go ahead and create it (and fix incoming links)? Alternatively, could you ask the person who asked you to move the page to do so?

This doesn't solve the problem- the issue is that it's pointless for "The Climb (song)" to redirect to "The Climb (Miley Cyrus song)"- if we're going to do that, we may as well have the article about the Miley song at "The Climb (song)", as that's the neater title. There seem to be three options- either we have a disambiguation page for all songs called "The Climb", we select the most significant song to sit at "The Climb (song)" with a hatnote to others or we redirect "The Climb (song)" to the broader dab page. J Milburn (talk) 22:49, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

I do feel it's important to emphasize again that Anthony and I were not the initiators of the moves with which you are finding fault. Just as you wouldn't expect an administrator to merge articles after closing an AfD that shows support for a merge, or to add sources themselves to an article when they come up during a deletion discussion, please allow the

I admit that I didn't explore this particularly, as I was just skimming through the good article lists, updating links and the like- you'd be amazed how often people move articles claiming that there should be dab pages and then just leave them. I'm not particularly familiar with the RM process, which all seems a little bureaucratic to me- especially as it seems that it leaves these kinds of problems at least occasionally (as I've apparently stumbled upon just two today). I could have just cleaned up the issue myself, but it'd be much quicker generally to teach people who are moving irresponsibly to do so- this doesn't apply to either of you two (as you have rightly pointed out- I live and learn) but perhaps we could prevent problems like this in the future by insisting that someone go ahead and create the promised dab page/restructuring and deal with redirects.

Hi Anthony, I would like you to reconsider your deletion of the HeartShare Human Services of New York page. HeartShare has been in existence since 1914. Celebrating its Centennial Anniversary, HeartShare serves nearly 29,000 New Yorkers in need annually across Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and upstate New York. After its affiliation with St. Vincent’s Services, Brooklyn, NY in March 2014, HeartShare is the third largest children services agency in New York City with a $150 million budget and over 2,300 employees. HeartShare is recognized by elected officials, celebrities and other notable individuals, including, but not limited to Rosanna Scotto, Linda Dano and Jim Kerr. With an honorary proclamation, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio declared July 14, 2014 as “HeartShare Human Services of New York” Day in NYC, a celebration of 100 years of service to the New York community. HeartShare has more than 65 program locations and three affiliates, The HeartShare School, HeartShare Wellness and HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services, some of which provide innovative programs that few other organizations in NYC offers.

The HeartShare School is a school for children with autism, 5-21, and the first school of its kind in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, when it opened its doors in 2007. HeartShare Wellness Ltd. provides comprehensive medical care customized to those diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities, while mainstream physicians often do not have the skills or training to provide this care. HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services’ premiere program, The American Dream Program, offers tuition assistance to young men and women aging out of the foster care system, when government support is no longer available, aiming to break cycles of poverty, incarceration and homelessness among this group. These are just three of the many innovative and vital programs HeartShare has developed to respond to the needs of the New York community in the past 100 years: http://thetablet.org/100-years-of-heartshare-a-century-of-caring/

There are Wikipedia articles on much more minute organizations and topics.

In the future, please do not delete this article.

To all involved in this dispute, please do so. Now. bd2412 T 16:35, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't support the existence of a disambiguation page. I support calling the Government of France the Government of France. If "Government of France" is not going to direct editors to the body titled "Government of France", then some indication needs to be given to readers. RGloucester — ☎ 17:59, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

The current situation is 500+ links going to a disambiguation page that is more likely to confuse readers than to help them. There must be some solution that keeps the links useful while the dispute is pending. bd2412 T 18:38, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

In that case, the best thing to do is to go through the links and find out whether they are referring to the broad political system or to the executive. I imagine that they are usually referring to body called the "government of France" or the "French government", not to the broad political structure of France. If that's the case, it should be redirected to the present "Cabinet of France". However, I'm going to the theatre and don't have time for such research presently.

Your last edits are almost all correct. Nice job!

I can't think of any cases where it is pronounced as two different letters, it's virtually always "u". I think it's just u, not long u. Yes, that's correct. Ե is "ye" at the beginning and "e" within a word.

There are major differences between Western and Eastern Armenian. You can see them here. For everything that is located or associated with the Republic of Armenia (today's Armenia) use Eastern Armenian. Western Armenian is mostly spoken in the Armenian diaspora by descendants of genocide survivors (in countries like Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, France, the US, etc.). For instance, Western Armenian would be used to transcribe the name of an Armenian church or an organization in one of those countries. --Երևանցի ^talk 18:06, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

If you'd like to help, see my user space (it contains some of the links I found in Google News from November/December). Thank you! 13:26, 19 December 2014‎ User:NewsTeamAssemble

Hey Anthony, Thanks for the copy. I've expanded upon the Dec. 19th version I sent over to this stub (see bottom of user space). Let me know any feedback on the page. Thank you! News Team Assemble!^[talk?] 12:28, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

• You have just moved {{
  Infobox Song Contest}}. Were you aware that each is the subject of separate, ongoing TfM/TfD nominations? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits

• @User:Pigsonthewing: I obeyed a request to history-merge them. They are both being discussed in Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 December 17#Template:Infobox Song Contest. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:43, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
  • A request from an editor opposing (indeed, disruptively so) both proposals. You've been played. Please revert the move; which I acknowledge was done in good faith on your part. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:55, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
• @User:Pigsonthewing: please continue this discussion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 December 17#Template:Infobox Song Contest, as it seems to be controversial. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:59, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
  • It is your move which is controversial, as I explained above. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:18, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Would you please revisit Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Dispute between two users? You were played by a serial socker who has been harassing me, and took me to an invalid ANI without providing evidence or notifying me (or the other user). When I noticed the ANI (after the other user and his next sock had already been blocked) I politely pointed out the problems with the ANI and asked for it to be closed. You responded by providing a link Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 December 17#Template:Infobox Song Contest as justification; however, that thread has absolutely no involvement by me, and I see no participation by the other user, the master, or his various known socks. This is beyond strange now. If you made a mistake, then just say so, so that the ANI can be closed. No big deal. Leaving an improper ANI open, and worse, defending it, is a big deal. If you really think I've done something wrong then by all means take me to ANI, but properly. Tell me what you think I've done and I'll be happy to explain my actions at ANI.

Hi. I see that you have undone my page move of the MINUSCA article. The person who requested that move is most probably User:AfricaTanz who has been blocked and is now attempting yo evade his block. See: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AfricaTanz/Archive. The user has access to a multiple range of IP address (of Austin, Texas origin). I had explained myself the request page that MINUSCA has more hits than this long title. Besides, we have a precedent at the MONUSCO article. I request you to please re-consider your decision.

• Hey, Anthony Appleyard,

  I was in the process of learning the guidelines of Wikipedia and I might know why my article: "2 Police Officers shot" was deleted; I think it was because I did not use a topic stated in Wikipedia's Notability page. I will try to remember those topics in the future. Also, I am new, so excuse any ignorance. Message me on my talk page if you have any questions or comments: Talk Page — Preceding unsigned comment added by LatestReports208 (talk • contribs) 06:34, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
