I do totally agree on that category changes should go through CFD, not be arbitarily redirected and therefore Im reverting the unilateral and massive changes made by User:Diego Grez (former Mr. Wiki) to chilean categories. Im rolling back category names to the pre-Diego Grez interventions of July 24 until the issue has been solved at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names)/Archives/2012/August#Chilean regions or some other more apporpiate instance.

Hey Tim. Not sure what happened here, but I'm just letting you know so that (hopefully) you can figure out a way to make sure it doesn't happen in future. Best, Jenks24 ( talk) 12:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
This is to let you know that an ongoing poll is taking place to move Burma to Myanmar. I know this happened just recently but no administrator would close these frequent rm's down, so here we go again. This note is going out to wikipedia members who have participated in Burma/Myanmar name changing polls in the past. It does not include banned members nor those with only ip addresses. Thank you.

Hi. Curious about what AWB did here. Is it alpha or something else I'm not seeing? Just want to be sure I do it correctly going forward StarM 01:24, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
FYI it's been deprecated, so i've undid your edit to livskunst. benzband ( talk) 16:32, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Timrollpickering for start please update to AWB version 5.3.1.2 found at http://toolserver.org/~awb/snapshots/ More than 100 bugs fixed (including tagger). -- Magioladitis ( talk) 19:34, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
rev 8335 fixes the bug. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 19:45, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
I have reverted your changes to remove the Liberal Democrats from List of British shadow cabinets, Category:British shadow cabinets and Template:British shadow cabinets. I understand that it was controversial that the Lib Dems would name their front bench teams as such. There is a reason, however, why I created that template, category and that list. Prior to their existence, these articles were spread about with no place to be found. I created these specifically to link the articles together and put the information in one place. While it was controversial, their frontbench teams were identical to shadow cabinets in every way. That’s why the list and template make it very clear that the Lib Dem shadow cabinets were “unofficial”, in other words, not the Official Opposition. Nevertheless, they called them shadow cabinets, and so they should be listed as such, with that caveat in place. It is essential for this information to be grouped together, for ease of access. Otherwise, you may as well delete that template I made, which was created specifically for the purpose of listing the Lib Dems and the Official shadow cabinets together, as per discussion with Rrius at Template talk:UK Shadow Cabinets and on my talk page. This was a lot of work to put together. I hope you can understand the reasoning behind it. RGloucester ( talk) 23:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Category:Ancient Jewish Roman history. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Thank you, IZAK ( talk) 22:25, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Davy Vancampfort until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{ Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 03:09, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi, as you are being mentioned in this discussion, I thought I'd drop you a note. -- Guillaume2303 ( talk) 13:12, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
So why didn't you list this at the relevant wikiprojects? Afraid folk with an interest in rugby or Israel might actually turn up?! -- MacRùsgail ( talk) 17:53, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
Just checking whether your "merge" closure of this discussion included Category:Gay choreographers; you didn't add it to WP:CFD/W for processing - I thought about adding it myself but as the nominator of that particular category, I thought I had better not! Regards, Bencherlite Talk 08:09, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tim
Please can you reopen Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_November_7#Category:Genres_of_death_metal?
As I have noted at the discussion above it on that page ( Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 November 7#Category:Subgenres_of_death_metal), the deletion had some undesirable consequences. It was supported by nobody except the nominator, who did not link his previous nomination only 10 days earlier at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 October 28#Category:Genres_of_death_metal, which was similarly ill-considered. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 10:18, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Can you close this category out when you get the chance. I have withdrawn my nomination for AFD and noted it. Thanks. Quis separabit? 00:22, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey Timrollpickering -- given the fraught history with animal rights activists, I think it's better to have the talk pages accessible. I am going to restore, then move & archive. -- Lquilter ( talk) 13:53, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
I just dont understand why the hell you deleted Inter Milan's Seasons page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.35.181.8 ( talk) 11:04, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
An updated version of AWB is now available here. Cheers. Del♉sion23 (talk) 16:03, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed (and agree with you on reverting evidently not "uncontroversial" page moves) the below. But as far as the lede http://www.salford.gov.uk/mayor.htm does actually justify a lede addition of City, so I have done so, and added source.
Since you reverted this move, are a Master Editor III and an admin I thought I should note the lede addition as a courtesy. I personally have no strong view/interest. Cheers. In ictu oculi ( talk) 14:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tim, I'm just curious about your deletion of Category talk:Fifteen inch gauge railways as the "talkpage of a redirect". I can't see how this is covered as WP:CSD#G8?
The reason for asking is that this category naming has been a problem for some years, rolling around about four different versions. I can't now see what was on that talkpage, but it's quite possible that it was a significant chunk of past argument related to this naming question. Obviously a trivial talk page with just a project tag etc. would be less of an issue. Is there a policy reason to delete redirect talkpages? To delete all of them? Sounds like a bad idea if they really are all up for immediate 'bot deletion. Andy Dingley ( talk) 01:25, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
As a participant of the discussion Talk:Palestine#Requested_move regarding naming change of the page Palestine, you might be interested in discussion Template talk:Asia topic#State of Palestine on changing the redirection target of "Palestine" from "Palestinian territories" to "State of Palestine" at Template:Asia topic. Thank you. Greyshark09 ( talk) 23:09, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Tim. The Taj Mahal example was added, boldly since there is no other mention of Indian English on that page, on January 3rd. I've reverted it and the matter should now be discussed on the talk page. MOS changes should, generally speaking, not be made without consensus and that's what we should be seeking now. Note also that the example itself is a particularly lousy one. Taj Mahal is not spelled or named differently in any other variant of English. (I've undone your revert!) If the consensus is to add it, then that's fine but we need to find that consensus first. -- regentspark ( comment) 20:22, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Why are you merging per nom in Category:Track and field athletes from Georgia (country). There is only one person besides the nom who wants to do that. 3 people voted for merging to what is currently the redirect category but we want to make the main category, and one wanted to do nothing. There is clearly not support to follow the nom. Your closing seems entriely irregular. I hope you reconsider it. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 20:04, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Somehow this * [[:Category:Marine revetment]] to [[:Category:Marine revetments]] got lost between CFD/S [4] and CFD/W [5]. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 15:12, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
I don't know if you are free or inclined, but on the off-chance, may I draw your attention to this forthcoming editathon at the Royal Opera House in June? We need a few experienced Wikipedians to help the ballet buffs get started. If you're not free, or not inclined (or even if you are) could you suggest any other experienced WP editor whom we might try to recruit? – Tim riley ( talk) 22:07, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Timrollpickering. FYI, Category:2000 Formula One race reports was missed when the list was added to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working. Thanks. DH85868993 ( talk) 22:42, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
FYI the "States and territories disestablished in YEAR" categories are populated by {{ Infobox former country}}. They should probably moved to WP:CFD/W/M. Regards, Armbrust The Homunculus 14:19, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Tim, some of the novelists you are sticking back in Category:American novelists are already in a non-gendered diffusing sub-cat, so they don't need to stay in the parent. It is hard to diffuse the parent if it gets filled up with people who are already diffused. thanks. -- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 22:20, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Even though Category:American novelists is not to be dispersed on gender, it should be dispersed on genre and century. So people in genre and century specific sub-cats should not go in the parent. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 23:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I saw this move of yours yesterday. The current article title is Sino-Japanese relations. Will you please move the talk page title to the matched one, if there's no dispute/problem on the title? Thank you. Oda Mari ( talk) 09:25, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
For having carried out the removal of lead name duplication per RM. You may need to keep an eye on article after close. Best wishes. In ictu oculi ( talk) 02:01, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
For deleting the male film directors category per my CFD. - Fantr ( talk) 18:32, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Greetings! You are invited to take place in a conversation happening Category_talk:American_novelists#Stalemate here about how to move forward with discussion on subcategories of by-country novelist categories.— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 16:02, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
This is from a CFD you closed a while back Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_February_9#Bias_categories. There is a related discussion happening at Category_talk:Antisemitism_in_the_United_States and Talk:Eustace_Mullins, as to whether bios can be included in this category or not. -- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 19:20, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
The second half of this is totally groundless. Reduce revision visibility or at least retract that, or else I may have to consider taking you to Arbcom. Shall I mention the extensive abuse of your deletion powers to enact moves that are a total waste of time? GotR Talk 03:28, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
Hallo, in this edit you added a {{ stub}} with a date parameter, which it doesn't take. It's also helpful to stub-sorters if you can add it with a small "s", as that's a couple of key-strokes less if we're manually typing the sorted stub tag. Thanks. Pam D 08:16, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
