Notice concerning an action at ArbCom
A request has been filed for the Arbitration Committee to look at long-term issues with editing in the Article Titles and MOS areas at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Article titles/MOS. I have added your name as a party, since it is clear that you have been involved at RMs, or at pages that are within the scope of the action.
Bacchus, I really hope things are going well for you. I will understand if you are reluctant to get involved with this one. But I'm certain that your evidence and assessments would be invaluable to ArbCom if it decides to proceed with a case.
Best wishes!

Sorry to learn that you're doing the same as numerous other editors by leaving the project. All the best, and I hope you find a warm welcome if you reconsider. -- Trevj (talk) 14:58, 20 March 2012 (UTC) |
An arbitration case regarding article titles and capitalisation has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- All parties are reminded to avoid personalizing disputes concerning the Manual of Style, the article titles policy ('WP:TITLE'), and similar policy and guideline pages, and to work collegiately towards a workable consensus. In particular, a rapid cycle of editing these pages to reflect one's viewpoint, then discussing the changes is disruptive and should be avoided. Instead, parties are encouraged to establish consensus on the talk page first, and then make the changes.
- Pmanderson is indefinitely prohibited from engaging in discussions and edits relating to the Manual of Style or policy about article titles.
- article titles policy, broadly construed.
- Born2cycle is warned that his contributions to discussion must reflect a better receptiveness to compromise and a higher tolerance for the views of other editors.

I noticed you were involved in the closure of the Swami Vivekananda article rename discussion, here: [1]

Can you please take a look?
Thanks. Lotusjuice (talk) 12:22, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hi there Lotusjuice. Not sure how much GT checks his talk page these days. I know he posted a "retired" template a while back, and he hasn't been real active for a while. Personally I hope he's still about and returns soon, but just thought I'd mention this in case he doesn't notice it. Best of luck though. — ? 12:52, 29 April 2012 (UTC)]

Hello GTB :-)
I was looking at article "2018" and found: <<Estimated completion date for the Kingdom Tower in Saudi Arabia which is expected to become the tallest building in the world and the first to reach 1 kilometer in height.>> which doesn't look right to me! I have no idea what the height should be though, so I'll leave it for you to fix. I was checking to see if there was a note of the 2 consecutive blue moons in 2018, but I believe the time zones may be wrong for this to occur in the USA. Ref: http://www.fullmoon.info/en/fullmoon-calendar/2018.html (2 full moons in January, followed by 2 full moons in March). That's pretty rare even for blue moons!
I do hope you're well, hugs Galaxybabe (talk) 15:08, 27 June 2012 (UTC)Galaxybabe

Novel categories
Hi, I just wanted to stop by and thank you for this conversation which I actually enjoyed. After logging out and thinking about it, I realized that I probably have never understood how categorization is used here in regards to novels and I tend to treat cats as tags - the more the merrier on a page. But also probably the reason I'm being chastised on my talk, so might take a low profile for a while. To be honest l laughed to see the black banner at the top of your page b/c my blue banner is close to going black. All that said, if you do manage to kick start another conversation that's useful and we can actually find a solution without a ton of spinning, I'd be thrilled.
- Re your talk page: Yikes! After a day or two back from retirement, it sure is easy for me to remember why I left. When my orange "you have a message" banner lit up, I had a moment of panic. Thank goodness it's you. If I'm going to stick around, I either need to get my patience up to Job level, or it won't be pretty.
So, apparently this "tags" idea is called Wikipedia:Category intersection around here, and that's the page for talking about it. I've made a wake-up-the-talk-page post there, referencing the current situation, but so far the only reply has been from JPL, telling me that my summary was wrong. We'll see how it goes, but I wouldn't hold my breath as far as avoiding "tons of spinning". I'm going to keep making noise about it for now, so if nothing else, people will remember that there was a lot of noise made about it. Oh, and unsurprisingly, the German Wikipedia has already implemented this, presumably because of how gosh-darn much sense it makes. -GTBacchus(talk) 12:36, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- I know that moment of panic when the orange bar lights up! Anyway, thanks for jumping in, category intersection is apparently what we need, so if something good comes from this it will have been worthwhile. Welcome back btw. I won't be editing much in the next some weeks but will be watching this as it spins out. talk) 16:19, 28 April 2013 (UTC)]

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre
![]() So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 15:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC) |

h2g2 article in reduction
This is again a new one for me <wow> I should check the code
Great way to post, on most pages I have to wade trough years of backlog.
Anyway I have tried expand the h2g2 article it was a little bare. Instead I managed to point some wikipedians to it, and they removed even more. There is something about 'Third Party Reference'. Anything about HooToo except for the Edited Guide lacks this. No newspapers talking about ThePost, Ask or the Myth.
Do you know by any chance some reliable references or cites we could use to restore the article.
By the way your badge links to the Beeb, it is a detour at best.<ok>

Trans Woman definition
I believe there is an error (& an injustice made) in the definition Wikipedia of "trans woman"/"trans women".
It currently states, "A trans woman is a WOMAN who was assigned male at birth." I believe it should state, "A trans woman is a PERSON who was assigned male at birth and identifies as a woman."
The entry is "semi-protected" to avoid "vandalism", which I can understand, but only registered (which I am), "established" (which I am not) users can edit this. As a woman, who voted for Biden (I mention bc many feel only the right/GOP have this stance), I object to women being diminished/redefined & think our rights and safety are being impinged upon.
