Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway

Moving Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad from the title it's had since 2004 seems a poor fit for the technical requests process. There's plenty of reason to doubt that the new article title is the correct one (e.g. [1]) and this should have been a full move request. Mackensen (talk) 14:26, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi

Okay, but I would really prefer it be closed and reverted if at all possible. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:38, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Deleter with no imagination
Kiss my ass for deleting a page to further education and creativity. "Be Bold"....pfft....luke warm and watered down at best.... I am referring to my wild ride page that was deleted...It is labeled below and hasn't been all that since you deleted it...How is your memory? Or is it just a mass delete button you click for all speedy requests...and you don't even take the time to look....either way....

no...i get it...no imagination...why make it easier for people to learn...and have fun... and when you actually think about the power behind the cross referencing if a few walls were knocked down...the power...feel free to live in a box though. Ftpftw1981 (talk) 14:09, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Saraiki dialect RM Closure request

Saraiki, This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title Saraiki which are; Saraiki dialect, Saraiki people, Saraiki culture, Saraiki dialect (Sindhi), Saraiki literature, Saraiki music, Saraiki diaspora, Saraikistan Movement and List of Saraiki tribes. Move to Saraiki from Saraiki dialect will be a very silly decision.

Majority of verifiable Sources are saying Saraiki is a dialect. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7][8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16], [17], [18] [19] Every language study put Saraiki under Lahnda (Western Punjabi). The Indo-Aryan Languages By Colin P. Masica 1993 Page 289. Lahnda dialects (including Siraiki)[20] ,Page 343. Saraiki and other Lahnda dialects, Page 247. Lahnda (Siraiki) which lacks a Layer 1 instrumental [21] , Page 23. In Pakistan several erstwhile dialects (Siraiki & Dogri) are said to be agitating for language status[22] Page 518. Lahnda/Lahndi (see also Siraiki) [23]

Linguistic survey of India by George Abraham Grierson 1903-1928, Volume 8. Lahnda or Westren Punjabi [24] , The Indo-Aryan Languages By Danesh Jain, George Cardona Panjabi section written by Christopher Shackle in 2007. Page 588, All these structural features of MSP ( Modern Standard Punjabi)...occur in western varieties...in Saraiki and other western dialects. [25] . Page 603. The MSP (Modern Standard Punjabi) declension ....Other varieties have similar pattern...Dogri...Shahpuri...Pothohari...Hindko and Saraiki ... [26], Page 584. Map 16.1 Punjabi area map.............Saraiki ........ [27]

Move to Saraiki Language from Saraiki dialect will be even worse decision . If you analyse LanguageXpert sock file and IP sock series 39..... Apparently uninvolved users Kautilya3 and Kashmiri are actually involved users. Both see Saraiki dialect as a revenge plate forum against LX. They had verbal abuses with each other at some point in time. so Biased voting without reading the sources have zero weight. Only sources should decide the title. Sources say it is a dialect/variant. I request you for closure of third move request (Forum Shopping) in a raw. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 43.245.9.244 (talk) 07:25, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I reverted your move of

I reverted because the name lacking the word "railway" is in line with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK stations), as the station has both "mainline" rail (National Rail) and Tyne and Wear Metro, so counts as "any two or more of the above". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk

Moving pages that are contested

  • I thought that if a page's move was contested at
    WP:RM/TR it could not be moved and then had to be discussed? Don't Leave (Snakehips and MØ song) is simply not notable at this stage, so I don't know why it was moved. I don't know why administrators seem to be encouraging someone's sandbox to become part of a page's history, or the refusal of the user Love on the Brain to copypaste what they have created, which seems to be enough for most other users, over a redirect. It might not be much for you to move it, but I don't think this kind of practice (erasing the fact that somebody created a redirect and replacing with an article that is not yet notable) is very honest or a very good way to do things on Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion of the article CARiD

Good day, I am contacting you in regards to the article which was speedy deleted

section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion: "It excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies". I am just trying to figure out what did I do wrong here, because I am working on a couple of more articles for the the automotive pages that were deleted in the past, due to poor information. Please advice. Denholm78 (talk

  • @
    WP:AfD. Anthony Appleyard (talk
    ) 16:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
  • @Anthony Appleyard:Thank you for a prompt response, I totally understand the reason why you have applied a G4. Perhaps I should have left an extended message on the article's talk page explaining my intentions of recreating an article about this subject. I tried to avoid mentioning notable facts in the financial sphere of the subject and only referred to bare numbers and key points, in order not to make it sound as any sort of advertisement, as there is a fine line in determining whether such facts are used in promotional context or function as illustration of notability in the category of business subjects like this. While I agree with you that Wikipedia is not a platform for promotions and business listing and not trying to question it in any way, one other fact that influenced my decision to give a try on recreating this article is that CARiD page used to be mentioned and linked-to by other notable articles within the automotive category of Wikipedia itself, such as Automotive aftermarket; plus there is also an appropriate category that directly corresponds with the subject: Category:Automotive part retailers of the United States, which serves as interlinking of these pages and potentially improves the Wikipedia knowledge base.

With all this in mind I kindly ask you to consider restoring the page CARiD. I will provide an extended summary and include more references on the talk section of this page, which will help to treat it correctly and possibly allow hearing objections of other Wikipedia editors if necessary. While I work on a couple of more similar articles in the automotive field, this experience helps me to deeper familiarize myself with Wikipedia procedures and make more consistent submissions. Healthy criticism is always a good base for improvement. Thank you once again for looking into this issue. Denholm78 (talk) 14:49, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Telecoming

Hi, I am Rozy and guided by several editor recommendations, I have been editing an entry which has been suddenly deleted. following Wikipedia´s guidance, I have included solid external references on the firm, which are independent to it´s activity (deleting media and other "promotional" sources) and in which the company has no influential capacity. In addition, the page has encyclopedical value, since it provides neutral information on a Spanish company´s core business and on its evolution, with a purely information angle which could be useful for readers to understand the nature of the firm´s activity ) Please let me know, how could I adapt the contribution to Wikipedia´s standards, since I am really willing to collaborate (Rozybienert) (talk) (16:33, 25 January 2017 (UTC))

Hi Anthony Appleyard, many thanks for clarifying. I therefore understand that since the information is worth sharing as encyclopedical, factual content I can pursue its upload. Many thanks for the input. It´s much appreciated. I would be extremely grateful for your future input on how to improve the text. Many thanks, (Rozybienert) (talk) (08:16, 26 January 2017 (UTC))

Speedy deletion of 'Hearts On Noses' at user page

Hi, I'd be grateful to have the text for Hearts On Noses restored, possibly to my user page from which it has just disappeared - it had only been restored there for 2 hours after the previous speedy deletion which went ahead despite my plea for it on its talk page (attached in next section below)... it was my intention to edit it it to a point at which it might appear a little less wiki-unworthy, but I don't wish to recreate it from scratch...

Contested deletion (Hearts On Noses)

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... well, OK the article's not the biggest issue in the world today, but animal welfare is important and here are some people doing their best to help, so it seemed it would be good to help them by recording what they're doing... and they specialise in

Pot-bellied pigs, not just an individual animal, but "a breed of domesticated pig" etc. I see under CSD-A7 "This criterion does not apply to species of animals, only to individual animal(s)". So as the article is about a breed, hence neither about (an) individual(s) nor about the entire species, perhaps it falls in some grey area... Not-so-speedy deletion? Not deletion at all?--Yadsalohcin (talk

Telecoming

Telecoming is a Spanish company specialized in mobile entertainment. The firm´s core business is based on mobile content, mobile billing and mobile advertising. [1]. Based in Madrid the company operates locally and abroad in 7 other markets.

History

Founded on 2008, the firm employs over 100 professionals. The company was conceived as a distributor, advertiser and mobile billing technology developer. Over the past 9 years, the team has experienced a significant growth [2].

On 2009, Telecoming was registered as an Official Telecom Operator [3] in Spain, which makes Telecoming comply with the National Regulation and Codes of Conduct. In addition, it attained the Payments Entity License[4] to operate under the supervision of the Bank of Spain (Telecoming Payments Solutions – Pagantis SA) on 2013.

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (Hi, Anthony, following your comments and your undelete I understand that Telecoming´s information is appropriate, factual content which might be of potential interest for Wikipedia´s community as an information page. I therefore do not understand why the last time I have tried to upload the page I receive a speedy deletion notice. I would be extrememly grateful if you could provide me with guidance on the next steps, since I feel a little lost at this point. Many thanks again, your help it´s much appreciated)(Rozybienert) (talk) (08:23, 26 January 2017 (UTC))

Hi Anthony, could you kindly provide me with some insight on why it is that there are companies such as [28] and [29] which have very similar profiles to that of Telecoming and currently have a page and I do not seem to achieve approval for its upload?. I would be grateful for your comments regarding this issue so that I can continue to work on improvements.

Hi, 1. 14:32, 25 November 2013 Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (talk | contribs) moved page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/World Development Foundation to World Development Foundation (Created via Articles for creation). This was done after several improvements, suggestions by various reviews over a long period. 2.The article was earlier submitted and deleted in 2010 due to non submission of enough references.

Dear Anthony, Thanks for a quick reply. I request you to kindly consider following points. 1. The reference of the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/World Development Foundation is of 2010.In fact the article at that time was deleted. The page was rewritten in 2013 with lot more national and international references, and it was accepted after a review by several experts over a period of eight months or so. Therefore the earlier deletion decision should not be reapplied now. 2. In the entire page, no advertisement or appeal for charity has been made. I request you to kindly reconsider your decision. Regards, Rupalisharma (talk) 10:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

I did not know who solved this problem re Legal history of cannabis in Canada, but apparently it was you.

The explanation that was posted by User:Vaselineeeeeeee Thanks to Anthony Appleyard who responded to your request at WP:Requested moves/Technical requests moved the redirect page that was causing the moving issue to "Legal history of cannabis in Canada (version 2)" so it was then possible to move "Legal history of cannabis in the Canada" rightfully to "Legal history of cannabis in Canada". "Legal history of cannabis in the Canada" still exists as a redirect page now. A little convoluted, but I think that's how it was done. All is well now anyway.

I find all this to be confusing but the problem has been solved. All is well now. So, thank you Anthony! Peter K Burian (talk) 22:12, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Do you think we can do anything save the history from 2003 to 2006 (i.e. preserve it better by merging histories)? Talkpages were also unsynced and tossed around like dead fish, but I managed to fix that. The articles seems to have quite a bit of simultaneous versions IMO, but I'd like to know what you think. I didn't want to touch the articles without an expert opinion, as this is quite a mess. Best regards, Rehman 13:25, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, much appreciated! Rehman 14:16, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Magdalena Angelova's page

  • Magdalena Angelova (talk) 09:55, 19 February 2017 (UTC)Magdalena Angelova Good morning, I am truing to create an autobiographical page for one of the new Psychologists, that exist in Bulgaria. The first time I created her page I did have links to her present work, which was seen, as advertisement and my page was deleted. I corrected the content and left just her bio, but it was still deleted, as unsuitable. May you tell me how I can upload her bio, without it being deleted. If you could help me understand, why you deleted it, it will be appreciated. Thank you!

Overwriting redirects

Quick question: I thought that autoconfirmed users could move pages over single line redirects? I tried to do it at

"Ciao Adios" when it appeared in new pages feed, but was told I couldn't. I went ahead and did a round-robin, but I was curious as to why I couldn't just do a simple move since it only had one edit. TonyBallioni (talk
) 01:41, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) The one edit must must be creating a redirect pointing to the article you are trying to move. If the edit is not a redirect, or if the redirect points to a different article, you won't be allowed to move over it. Jenks24 (talk) 03:00, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
Redirect pointing to a different article would be the reason. Makes sense. Thanks! TonyBallioni (talk) 03:57, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Move of
Cambrian line

Hi - I'm not going to wheel war, but I believe the move of Cambrian Line should be reverted, for the following reasons:

  1. The move request was made out of process, as there was no suggestion made on the article's talk page that a move was being discussed.
    WT:UKT. I do not believe this is the case - the article is also part of WP:WikiProject Wales (where it is of higher importance than WP:WikiProject UK Railways
    ), and therefore there may be users who are interested in Wales but not railways watching the article.
  2. Although Dicklyon states that the move was discussed at
    WT:UKT#Clearly just descriptive – downcase line
    , the section reads to me a list of lines he believes should be moved, not a discussion.
  3. A quick check of Google indicates that the top results have caps (either as Cambrian Line or Cambrain Coast Line): ([30], [31], [32]).

Would you consider reverting, or would you have any objection if I did?

Achille Emile Meeussen

  • Dear Anthony, I wonder if you would now consider moving the page
    Achille Émile Meeussen to A. E. Meeussen? Two weeks have gone past without any comments from anyone. Actually I can't see anything that could be contested about it – already one page redirects to the other and now it will simply be the other way round. But what bothers me is that the title as it stands is apparently inaccurate, since the Belgian Professor Swiggers, who has written two encyclopedia articles on Meeussen, tells me that the French spelling with E acute, which I thought was the correct one, is not used in Belgium and advised me to change it. So it's a bit embarrassing that it is still there and I don't have any way of removing it! Kanjuzi (talk

Southern American English talk page

A little over a week ago you made a post here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Southern_American_English#The_map_File:SouthernEnglishMap.jpg

In that talk, there were four people (including me) that were for moving the talk about the Super Region on the Southern American English page to here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English_regional_phonology

The reason is because that page talks specifically about dialect "super regions." And that the Southern American English page should be exclusive to southern English just like all the other dialect pages are. The "Super Region" talk should be on the North American regional phonology page.

Could you please move this? Kevinfromtx (talk) 05:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

  • @Kevinfromtx: If you want to move text to North American English regional phonology from another page, that is ordinary page-editing, and any user can do that, but best discuss it first. Text can be moved by: Open the donor page in editing mode. Drag the mouse across the text which is to be moved. Press ctrl-X . Go to the recipient page in editing mode. Click the mouse on where the text is to be moved to. Press ctrl-V . Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:59, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
  • @Anthony Appleyard: There were three others besides me that approved this in that talk discussion you started, Myself, Monizzle, Derikchetter and Akuma. I'd rather have and admin do it if possible. If you don't want to do it, would you mind if I try to contact another admin? Thanks for responding, Anthony. You've always been helpful to me on here. Thanks. Kevinfromtx (talk) 08:12, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
These are examples of super regions.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English_regional_phonology#Canada_and_Western_United_States , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English_regional_phonology#Northeastern_and_North-Central_United_States , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English_regional_phonology#Southeastern_United_States

within those super regions (although it doesn't say it) you have numerous dialect umbrellas. For instance in the southeaster region, you have midland, mid-atlantic and southern. Am I not being clear enough? Kevinfromtx (talk) 15:28, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm not clear on this. Basically, I think this super region section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English#Phonology_of_the_Southeastern_super-region should stay on the North American regional phonology page. I think southern american English should stay exclusive on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English page. It's how it is on most dialect umbrella pages. The North American regional phonology page was specifically created to talk about super regions. I think this section Phonology of the Southeastern super-region https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English#Phonology_of_the_Southeastern_super-region belongs here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English_regional_phonology. Kevinfromtx (talk) 17:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
Ok, but look at all the other dialect umbrellas like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inland_Northern_American_English , new york city https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_English or nNorth Central Midwest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North-Central_American_EnglishThey all have their own pages that talk about just that umbrella. North American English regional phonolgy exist specifically to talk about super regions. Souther American English should just be about the South. This would be consistent with all the other pages. Talk about super regions should not be on the "Southern american egnlish" page. This is inconsistent with all the other pages. Kevinfromtx (talk) 05:30, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
This part: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English#Phonology_of_the_Southeastern_super-region Every other dialect umbrella article page specifically talks about that dialect in the various wikipedia articles. This part https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_American_English#Phonology_of_the_Southeastern_super-region includes Midland and Mid-atlantic. Which are both above the South in geography and are under different umbrellas. This map File:SouthernEnglishMap.jpg shows just the south. I think the southeastern part should be removed from the page and the article just focus on the south. Am I being clear? Sorry if I'm being confusing. Kevinfromtx (talk) 09:34, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
  • @Kevinfromtx: Which page should the descriptions of the Midland and Mid-atlantic dialects be moved to? I am British and I have no expertise in American dialectology. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:49, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
Well, this page talks about super-regions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English_regional_phonology as I mentioned earlier. They already talk about this stuff there, though. I just don't know why super-region talk was originally added to the southern american english page. This map here shows the dialect umbrellas of North America... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/43/North_American_English_dialect_regions.jpg 6 is the south, 5 is midland and 8 is mid-Atlantic. Here is the page that map is linked too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English I really don't understand why midland and mid-Atlantic was added to the souther american english page. All other dialect umbrella pages exclusively talk about said dialect. Super region stuff is mention here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_English_regional_phonology Kevinfromtx (talk) 10:00, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
  • @Kevinfromtx: I am British, and I know little about the details of American English dialects. It would be best if you wait until you are autoconfirmed, and then you will be able to edit these files yourself. I do not want to be drawn into a controversy with people who know much more about this subject than I know. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:21, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks again for taking the time to do all of this. I think I am already auto confirmed with more than 4 days and 10+ edits? I'm not all that great with grammar, which was one of the main reasons I wanted someone else to do this. Especially since this would be a sizable edit, meaning more than just adding/editing a sentence or two. I think I might try to get a hold of another admin.. Thanks again for taken to time to help me with this. Thank you. Kevinfromtx (talk) 17:29, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

DRAFT ContraVir Pharmaceuticals (NEED ASSISTANCE RE: SPEEDY DELETION)Lnovick (talk) 14:07, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello Anthony,

I had created a draft article and saved it in my "draft space" or "sandbox" (followed Wikipedia Article Wizard). It was marked for speedy deletion and deemed "unambiguous advertising and promotion" however I was still working on it and it wasn't ready for Wikipedia review/public viewing. I followed the same format/structure as other corporate company articles, how do I find out what was "promotional" about it? And how can I get the draft back so I can edit. I spent a lot of time coding and formatting, and do not wish to start over, if it's avoidable.

Best, Lnovick

Asia Kate Dillon problem with merger/redirect - please help to give proper atribution to mainspace article creator

Hello,

The article was created in mainspace. A draft version at AFC was rejected for notability problems. Please someone look this over, because the creator of the mainspace article, and its history somehow got left out in the merging and redirect. The creator at main space needs to receive attribution as the article creator. I have no objection for additions from the failed AFC draft to be added to the article. Please @AnthonyAppleyard look this over just once more. Thank you. Antonioatrylia (talk) 06:17, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response to help rectify this matter. You do seem quite professional in your duties here. Again, Thanks. Antonioatrylia (talk) 10:05, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
@Antonioatrylia: @Anthony Appleyard: I originally created the draft in March 2017 - you can see from the retrieval dates in the references of both pages. I don't know how to check for sure when the two articles were created, but I originally blogged about creating the draft here on 2nd March 2017, and at the time there was no mainspace page called Asia Kate Dillon. So I am fairly sure that mine both came first and is more complete.
I moved two references, two categories and an external link over from the mainspace page to my draft, so as far as I can tell all the content in the mainspace page is in the draft and then some. I think it's appropriate to consider the draft as having come first. I don't mind whose name is put down as the creator, because I know I made the draft first and that's kinda all that I need, but I don't think any merging should be held up due to the mainspace page coming first - because it didn't come first. I think the draft article could entirely replace the newer and less complete mainspace article.
I hope this helps!--Cassolotl (talk) pronouns: they/them 17:41, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
I am so sorry to have to spell this out because I do not want to cause any distress or ill feelings, but the draft at AFC is/ was a draft. A draft that was failed for notability at some date. Another editor created a stub in the main space. That is a stub article about Dillon. The date you first thought of writing a draft, or the date you first created a draft has not much significance here. You did a good job trying to flesh out the draft, but it was not accepted officially (after previously being failed for lack of notability) because apparently the reviewer could not publish it, because a stub article had been written and was already published in the main space. I have heard of this sort of thing happening before at sometime. Perhaps Anthony Appleyard can enlighten us. Antonioatrylia (talk) 20:18, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
@Antonioatrylia and Anthony Appleyard: I don't actually mind about the merge history, I just assumed that it was something I had to wait for before I could go ahead and merge my information into the mainspace article! I honestly thought the quibble was about which article came first, and therefore which edit history should be kept, or something. Is it about editors of the draft not being recognised in the mainspace page?
But yes, if I can move content over without having to wait for anything to be completed or untangled then I'm happy to do so. The draft contains all the same information as the mainspace page plus a bunch of other stuff - is it okay to just entirely replace the mainspace page with the draft, or is there a more proper way to do things? --Cassolotl (talk) pronouns: they/them 19:03, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
I object to that AnthonyAppleyard, if that makes any difference. Respectfully, I must say that there is a principle at risk here. A dangerous precedent could be set. The next time a situation such as this happens where an AFC draft is failed. In the meanwhile an editor starts a stub article, another editor adds proper references to show notability, and then several days later an AFC reviewer looks at the draft again, he decides it passes. When he tried to publish it, he could not because there is already an article published on that subject whether it ne a stub or a more full article. It is out of process to suddenly publish the at first failed AFC draft, and wipe out by redirecting the actual article that was in the mainspace as an article first. Again, I have no objection if any information is added to the mainspace article from the failed AFC draft. Antonioatrylia (talk) 22:18, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
@Antonioatrylia and Anthony Appleyard: Thanks for all your points and expressions of feelings on the matter! I will think about it for a couple of days, and maybe try a non-intrusive merge when I have more spoons. I do agree that this is an issue that is rare but likely to happen again, and I'd be curious to know where an administrator decision would lead, but I just don't have the energy to pursue it! Hopefully I can get back to this later on, but if not anyone is welcome to merge information from the draft to the mainspace page or replace the mainspace page with the draft, as they see fit. --Cassolotl (talk) pronouns: they/them 00:12, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
I object. I have spelled out my reasonings in my above posts in this thread. Perhaps we could ask for another opinion from an admin like maybe Anne Delong . Thanks. Antonioatrylia (talk) 05:39, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
@Antonioatrylia and Anthony Appleyard: I have no objections. :) I'm actually not sure why this is even in question, because the current mainspace article has *less* information in it than the draft did when it was rejected for being not notable. --Cassolotl (talk) pronouns: they/them 10:30, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
What Anthony Appleyard did was perfectly fine. Content in Wikipedia is kept or deleted solely on the basis of consensus as to what is best for the encyclopedia and its readers. if a specific editor's words are included, they must be properly attributed for copyright reasons. It's not important whose copy of the same references ends up in the article, and there is no need to attribute content that was not used because it was redundant. In what space the article was first created isn't important either, but the originator gets notified when the article is tagged in the future, so it's helpful if it's someone who has put some time into the subject - Anthony Appleyard's moves addressed that issue. Words still in the article from Timtek, "is an actor", are too few to need a copyright attribution in my opinion; the creation of articles that are so short they don't even qualify as stubs and are basically useless is not to be encouraged, especially one created by ignoring the notification "There is a draft for this article at Draft:Asia Kate Dillon." Later editors, such as Antonioatrylia, wouldn't have seen the notification and ended up doing duplicate work.
That said, even though there is no policy or attribution reason for it, Cassolotl seems willing to incorporate their text into the mainspace article instead, and through their selflessly putting the encyclopedia above their own article and edit count considerations, can make everyone happy.—Anne Delong (talk) 15:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
Generosity withdrawn, praise for it redacted.—Anne Delong (talk) 03:21, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
@Antonioatrylia, Anthony Appleyard, and Anne Delong: Wow, I had no idea that a "There is a draft for this article at Draft:Asia Kate Dillon" notification would have been completely ignored. Thank you for your input, Anne, that's really helpful.
Honestly, if the policy/guidelines would land on the side of replacing the whole mainspace article with the draft article, and Anthony's original decision is generally considered sound, I would rather that happen than me combing through the article and painstakingly slotting parts from the draft into the spaces around a not-great article. Is that still an option? It seems like it would be a simple job for an admin, that would take much less time and energy than me manually merging the content for the sake of a person who created an article while ignoring the "there's already a draft" prompt and "try not to make stubs" guidance. --Cassolotl (talk) pronouns: they/them 18:31, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

GotPrint Page Deletion

Page move?

Hello Anthony Appleyard; I have a question about "round robin" page swaps. Please pardon my learning curve if this has already been discussed and resolved; for I have observed:

If a valid request exists in the following form:

[A] and [talk:A] → [B] and [no talk:B]

An admin would delete [B], leaving [no B] and [no talk:B], then move [A] and [talk:A] to become [B] and [talk:B] leaving a redirect and culminating with [A] redirecting to [B] and [talk:A] redirecting to [talk:B], (all 4 pages are blue).

A page mover follows the following 3 steps:

1. Move [B] and [no talk:B] to [C] and [no talk:C] without leaving a redirect; the target page is left as [no B] and [no talk:B].

2. Next they move [A] and [talk:A] to become [B] and [talk:B] without leaving a redirect; the original title is left as [no A] and [no talk:A].

3. To conclude, they move [C] and [no talk:C] to become [A] and [no talk:A] without leaving a redirect; the temporary page is left as [no C] and [no talk:C].

This style of move culminates with [A] redirecting to [B] but [no talk:A] for redirecting to [talk:B], (by comparison, a page is missing).

Is this an issue for concern? Is there a modified procedure in place to preclude it from occurring? If not, should one be developed? Thank you for considering this question. I look forward to your answer, and the insight I might glean.--

Thank you very much; your reply was incredibly informative. I read the entire page at wp:histmerg and will immediately begin following the good advice in your reply. I will admit that much more is involved in moving pages than I ever imagined.

In appreciation for all you have done to rescue and repair Wikipedia's editing history as well as the insight so graciously shared with your reply, it is my hope that I learn these things well enough to one day assist your efforts; even to the fullest possible extent. It's the least I can do in consideration of past mistakes when I most probably increased your workload instead.

I thank you again, and also wish you the absolute best.--

Possibly missed request

In your edit here, you may have missed the request to move "Peter Griffin (Family Guy character)" to base title "Peter Griffin" as the primary topic. The person who moved it from base title probably didn't take into account how this character is by far the most popular search term. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:01, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Article wizard/Not quite yet

...and the protection settings need to be moved back too. The hazards of being an admin, I guess. -- John of Reading (talk) 15:08, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
The article wizard page is template protected edit and move. The draft needs to be moved to draft or article space. – Train2104 (t • c) 15:40, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
After edit conflicts:
By "part of the article wizard" I meant the subpage Wikipedia:Article wizard/Not quite yet, not the Wikipedia:Article wizard itself. The history and protection settings currently at Wikipedia talk:Dynamic Syntax Tree belongs at Wikipedia:Article wizard/Not quite yet. This page is linked from several buttons on other article wizard pages, so the wizard is currently broken.
The April 25th/26th edits currently at Wikipedia talk:Dynamic Syntax Tree/stray edits by Tim.security (talk · contribs) are about a computer science topic; Tim.security accidentally overwrote and moved the article wizard subpage to Wikipedia talk:Dynamic Syntax Tree. They could be left there, but would be better at Draft:Dynamic Syntax Tree. This page needs no protection, as Tim.security needs to work on it.
The earlier edits at Wikipedia talk:Dynamic Syntax Tree/stray edits, from 2009 up to 5 October 2016, should be part of the history of Wikipedia:Article wizard/Not quite yet. They show the wizard being overwritten and restored a few times. -- John of Reading (talk) 15:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
The edits from 2016 and earlier, currently at Draft:Dynamic Syntax Tree, belong at Wikipedia:Article wizard/Not quite yet. – Train2104 (t • c) 16:00, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
The earlier edits at Draft:Dynamic Syntax Tree really do belong at Wikipedia:Article wizard/Not quite yet. For example, from October 2016 there's an edit by Usmanmirzza currently at "DST" and a corresponding revert by me at "AW/NQY"; and so on for the other old edits. The history of "DST" should show Tim.security as the creator of the page. -- John of Reading (talk) 16:30, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
The article wizard page has previously been the target of misguided users who create their articles right there. This was the exact same situation, only in this case the user also moved the page away. I simply reverted both the move and the overwriting, then had it template-protected. – Train2104 (t • c) 23:06, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
That's correct. But the earlier edits belong at Wikipedia:Article wizard/Not quite yet so that the history there is a record of the page being overwritten many times and corrected. Only Tim.security's edits should remain at Draft:Dynamic Syntax Tree, so that he is shown as the only editor of the draft article. -- John of Reading (talk) 05:49, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Wow, that was messy. But it looks fine now history-wise. Now one last step, please restore template-protection of the article wizard page. – Train2104 (t • c) 06:13, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Bon Appétit (song)

Are you willing to move Draft:Bon Appétit (song) into the main space by overriding Bon Appétit (song)? One editor seems determined to keep the stub (which was appropriately tagged as a new page and under construction) out of the main space, citing the single must be released in order for the article to exist. The single is being released in a few hours, and I'm not the only one who thought the stub was fine. If not, no worries, just thought I'd ask someone with the ability to override the redirect, otherwise I'll just request a technical move tomorrow.

New Peruvian Regulations: Spelling of toponyms in indigenous languages

Hi Anthony Appleyard. I would like to inform you about recent Regulations of the Peruvian government concerning toponyms in indigenous languages. According to Decreto Supremo No 004-2016-MC (Supreme Decree), published on July 22, 2016 which approves the Regulations to Ley 29735 (Law 29735 of July 5, 2011), the aim of the Peruvian government is a) to keep the naming of toponyms in the indigenous languages and b) to replace the commonly misspelled indigenous toponyms by their adequate spellings according to the normalized alphabets to gain a unified spelling. The National Geograhic Institue IGN (maps of Peru) is therefore involved. (For details see Reference 1 below.)

These Regulations also touch the naming of Wikipedia articles.

I noticed that you are skeptical about the many requested moves of place names from ‘Quechua spelling to Spanish spelling’. However, these are rather moves from 'correct Quechua spelling' to 'wrong Quechua spelling'. The same occurs with articles names in Aymara. It affects quite a large numbers of articles, mainly concerning the categories of mountains, lakes and now also the archaeological sites of Peru.

However, all these moves are in conflict with the Peruvian law. And obviously all these moves from right to wrong are all in vain and will have to be reverted. The government is determined to fight discrimination against indigenous peoples and their languages resolutely. We should take this into account. Thank you. -- CaTi0604 (talk) 19:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Honest (The Chainsmokers song)

Hello. Why was it necessary to move Homest (The Chainsmokers song) over the top of Honest (The Chainsmokers song)? Nothing that was written there was really worth maintaining enough to move the page, speedy deletion notice and all, to the correct namespace. Quite frankly, the creating user, PlzNo, has never communicated with anybody else over their editing decisions, and they have made some very questionable ones. They linked to the "Homest" page, where they surely would have at least then noticed the page was created with an "m" where the "n" should be, and thus I think it was a deliberate attempt to circumvent having to create content for someone else's redirect. It's evident we now have a small number of users who want "full credit" for creating pages themselves and know how to do avoid a space they did not originate. In fact, several users have brazenly admitted to doing so. Why we are encouraging this by moving deliberate misspellings and not speedily deleting them I don't know. Ss112 19:51, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed after I wrote my original message, but that was asking for a history merge, not a page move for a user who has previously created articles in the incorrect place and appears to still be doing so. I understand that moving pages doesn't mean you speculate on users' motives or check out the creator's contributions, but PlzNo, who created the misspelt page, has previously done things like this and been asked to check where they create articles/see if there's not a redirect for it first (and even questioned on this creation by TheMagnificentist).

Dunning school

Hi, I think we edit-conflicted in reacting to this technical move. Do you mind if I move it back and open a discussion? My comment was going to be:

This is a contested technical request (permalink). EdJohnston (talk) 04:40, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
Comment: This needs a discussion. My own search in books.google.com did not come across any lower-case references, but it wasn't very thorough. I suspect that the Ngram search could be picking up the word 'Dunning' in contexts that don't refer to this school of historians. I don't know any way to examine the individual items that are found by Ngram to be sure they have the intended meaning.

On the Run Tour (Beyoncé and Jay Z)

Hi there. Can you move

On the Run Tour (Beyoncé and Jay Z) to On the Run Tour (Beyoncé and Jay-Z) since I saw you moving them and I don't think I can move this one? Thanks --Jennica✿ / talk

And what about moving categories? Category:Jay Z albums and others. --Jennica✿ / talk 05:50, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
I'm working on moving all the songs/albums in those categories right now. Thanks! --Jennica✿ / talk 07:48, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Last Jay-Z request, if you could help. It says I can't move this one, only an admin. Category:Jay Z to Category:Jay-Z. I'm working on moving all of them over to Jay-Z with the hyphen (per the talk page consensus) but I might wait on it until it's moved over totally. Thanks! --Jennica✿ / talk 07:19, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
