Thank you for, I hope you are enjoying editing on Wikipedia. When you move/rename articles, please be mindful of double redirects or navboxes at the bottom of articles. The navboxes will need to be updated too with the new link for the article, so that the article appears in bold in the navbox when on the article page. I've updated a few navboxes, but I'm sure there are more. Best regards Pjposullivan ( talk) 16:31, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Please note that if you want to propose a merger of Laverlochère and Angliers into Laverlochère-Angliers, the process isn't just "template the pages and walk away" — you also need to post a section to Talk:Laverlochère-Angliers to explain why you're proposing the merger, so that there's something for people to discuss. If you don't do that, then the only thing that will happen is that the templates will eventually be removed from the pages as unactionable due to lack of discussion.

Hi 162 etc.
When I do page moves I generally follow WP:Be bold. I think nobody wins if every page move goes through the full discussion process. Occasionally I come across users who have a strong feeling about article names. I am happy happy to go through a discussion in these cases. I guess you are mainly concerned about Joe Hall rather than Robert McIntyre and Roger Cardinal. If that is correct, I suggest either me or you put him up for a move discussion after your "Requests to revert undiscussed moves" have been looked at. As I have been wondering about primary topic definition for people who are known by their nickname rather than their proper name, I am looking forward to the outcome.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited International Table Hockey Federation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Table hockey.

Why? It is against standard practice, in which the articles about governing organizations and kinds of sport are different. And I no see any sense for it. Besides, it is not did in another languages and, consequently, in Wikidata. -- Egilus ( talk) 17:13, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
At Talk:Nur-Sultan#Requested move 9 October 2021 you asked what was going on. This is all to do with a requested move at Talk:Allahabad#Requested move 20 September 2021. TrangaBellam was the editor who performed closure on the move. Tecumseh*1301 is an editor who favoured moving the article on Allahabad to another name. In his/her arguments for such a move, Tecumseh*1301 repeatedly said that the position was similar to Astana being moved to Nur-Sultan (which happened on 4 May 2019). Having not got the result he/she wanted at Allahabad, Tecumseh*1301 did two things: (1) he/she asked for a move review, and (2) has proposed that the article on Nur-Sultan be moved back to Astana, making much the same arguments for the move as were made to oppose the move from Allahabad to another name. This is where Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point comes in.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:53, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, 162 etc.,
I de-PROD'd this article because you failed to inform the page creator, who is still an active editor, about this deletion tagging. If you use Twinkle, an editing tool, any time you tag a page for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/TFD/etc.), Twinkle will post these talk page notifications for you once you set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator". These notifications are one step of the deletion process that can't be skipped over plus it is just common courtesy, especially with a PROD because it is possible for an editor to address concerns raised in the PROD deletion rationale. If you decide to nominate this page for deletion at AFD, please remember to notify the page creator.
Twinkle will also provide an appropriate edit summary for you. Any time you PROD an article or file, you should state this in the edit summary so that, if the page gets de-PROD'd, other editors can know it has already been PROD'd before. Thank you.
I have undone your undiscussed page move of Bonnie Lee Bakley to Killing of Bonnie Lee Bakley on the grounds that WP:BIO1E does not apply, and even if it did, there is a caveat that allows for a separate biography. My full explanation is on the talk page. However, one consequence of a page move like this is that a biography needs to be rewritten as a crime this is going to be controversial if the article is a long standing or full fledged biography that covers the person's life. In this case, the move should have been discussed, first. I distinguish this from similar moves about the same time to articles about Abraham Grünbaum, Milan Pantić and Jennifer Servo because in those articles there is minimal biographical content prior to death. However, in the case of Jennifer Servo I would have recommended discussing that move, too, because a previous notability discussion indicated WP:BIO1E did not apply, although this is not clear from the article. I hope this assist you in deciding how best to approach page moves in the future. - Cameron Dewe ( talk) 00:39, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

You intimated that you might continue working through similarly titled articles in future RMs. Would you please ping me if you do so? I think doing so would be permissible per the "Editors who have asked to be kept informed" clause of WP:APPNOTE, but if this slips too close to canvassing for you, a neutral notice at WT:DEATHS would also work.

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to PMA while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. ― Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC**

As to how this isn't proper? Boldly redirecting something that's sat unsourced (and is a plot copyvio) for the better part of a decade is precisely in line with WP:BOLD. Are you going to source it? PRAXIDICAE💕 19:45, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
None of the info there is fan-based as you claim. I suggest you take this to the admins and get consensus on how to mend those "rules" as ST47ProxyBot is preventing me from demonstrating a perceived "fansite" article here on WP. I felt that the text in the "Overly detailed" template (as you feel that it's a bad etiquette from me.) meant that the section is for promotion. for the sources, they are there. But as I'm under series upon series of I.P. address blocks by the bot for that, you may/will think otherwise. I've complained to others on similar instances and grounds and they've understood. It ain't your fault or mine that per WP:GNG, you should see non-"fansite" info without proof per WP:v. I see that you've brought it back, so I'll work on them and remove it again later. I thought WP is more than just education and "all-seriousness". Intrisit ( talk) 17:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi 162 etc., I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors ( User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help).

I'm surprised to see that the good work you've been doing for a while has been under-recognized. Thank you for your many well-reasoned contributions to requested move discussions. I'm grateful also for all the disambiguation pages (>100) and redirects (>1000) you've created. I'm sure our readers have benefited the effort you've put into pointing them in the right direction.

Hello, 162 etc,
If you expect to do more Proposed deletion tagging, a couple of things to put in mind. First, like making a nomination at AFD, you need to provide a deletion rationale for why this article or file should be deleted. Just writing "[[WP:N]]" isn't sufficient. Write at least one complete sentence to justify why this article merits deletion, just posting a code to a policy guidelines is not an explanation. Speedy deletion allows you to tag pages for deletion with just a reference to a criteria for speedy deletion but PRODs and AFDs require editors to make an argument why a page should be deleted. It doesn't need to be long, but it has to be more than [[WP:N]].
Second, you need to leave a descriptive edit summaries. PRODs can be de-PRODed. If, years later, another editor decides to PROD the article again, they need to be able to see that it has already been PROD'd once and the way they can see this is by looking at the edit summaries in the page history. This is made more difficult if you don't leave any edit summary at all! So, just write, "Proposing article for PROD" or even just "PROD" in your edit summary when you tag a page for Proposed deletion.
Finally, these processes are made easier if you start using Twinkle to tag pages for deletion or to tag them for other reasons. Twinkle is an editing tool most page patrollers and a lot of administrators use. For example, once you set up your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", then Twinkle will post a deletion notice on the page creator's talk page for you. It will also leave a descriptive edit summary so you don't need to type one out. It remembers all of the codes and templates so you don't have to searching for the right one to use. It will maintain deletion logs for you. You can report vandals to noticeboards using Twinkle. It is very handy and I encourage you to try it out if you aren't already using it.
Just a few comments. Thank you for all of the work you are doing on the project! Liz Read! Talk! 20:49, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, 162 etc.,
When you tag an article for a Proposed Deletion, please write a more substantial deletion rationale than just WP:N.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Andover railway station, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. I have added this to the requested moves page, so this will be reverted soon.

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice at Talk:Anthony Jennings to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Jennings (American football). While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. 4meter4 ( talk) 19:42, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
You have claimed MOS:DABORDER states "Blue links should be at the top", but nowhere does it state this (please quote what you mean), and the entry on IIII being for Roman numerals also has a blue article to link to. You have been the only Wikipedia editor to claim an album is the primary topic for a Roman numeral. IIII redirected there for years without any issue—that makes it the primary topic. If you cannot handle the primary entry on IIII being for where the page redirected for years, I will revert your converting of the article to being a dab page and it can be put to a discussion whether it should even be a dab page or not. The fact you think an album takes precedence over how many centuries of IV being written as IIII is honestly ridiculous. The fact that the two or three other moves you requested the other day (that I performed) were reverted because there was already a move discussion months ago that you'd seemingly ignored should tell you your opinions on disambiguation clearly don't match other editors' and I think you need to reconsider what you request.

Hi 162 etc. Following the blank and redirect at Underwater ice hockey and the ensuing discussion at the talk page and reversion, I feel that for due diligence I must ask whether you have done other blank and redirects described in edit summaries as bold merges, without an actual merge, and if so, whether you can justify them in terms of policy or community accepted guidance.

162 etc., Thank you so much for your recent contributions related to OEG Inc. and their retail cannabis work. While the page move is under discussion, I was wondering if you might consider improving the existing Oilers Entertainment Group article by introducing subsections within the Operations section? Something like Sports and Entertainment for all the sports teams, Rogers Place, and film content, and Retail Cannabis for the content you just added. Again, I appreciate the work you've already done and would value your help to make additional improvements to the page. Thank you DJ for Katz ( talk) 18:07, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Oh hello, I didn't understand why your removal in the FLO article. I consulted the information in a dictionary and on Wiktionary himself, and I don't think it needs a "source" because it's only three letters. Silencedoc ( talk) 04:40, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
There's no probability of contestation, because it's about pronunciation of every letter, just visit a dictionary. I added both pronunciations because there's quite doubt which is the right one. But ok :^ Silencedoc ( talk) 04:55, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for creating the RM. The discussion got too lengthy, so: could you please clarify if you're planning to add content into the author's article from your merged redirects? The current blank-and-redirect do not assist navigation at all, as they point to the author's article w/o any context. Silikonz 💬 22:14, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments, which you added in discussion at Sugar Mama. Please note that, on Wikipedia, consensus is determined by discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of the arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position. If your comments concerned a deletion discussion, please consider reading Wikipedia's deletion policy for a brief overview of the deletion process. We hope that you decide to stay and contribute even more. Please refrain from preempting a RM discussion while it is still ongoing. Do not edit the page in a manor which aligns with a presumed outcome of the discussion before the discussion has been closed. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR ( talk) 17:40, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello! I just wanted to request that you archive your user talk page.

Hello, 162 etc.,
Please use Twinkle when you are tagging pages for any kind of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/CFD/etc.). I'm looking at some articles you PROD'd and there are two problems: a) there is no edit summary explaining that you are tagging the article for a Proposed Deletion and b) you didn't post a notification on the talk page for the article creator. The latter is an important step in all deletion processes. I'm sure that if you worked on creating and developing an article, that you would want to know if the article was headed towards deletion. This is especially important with PRODs because any editor can address the issues brought up in the deletion rationale and remove the PROD tag.
Twinkle does so many things, you can use it to tag an article regarding problems, report vandals to noticeboards, welcome an editor, add a warning notice to a problematic editor, set up an AFD discussion, it basically remembers all of the templates you might need so that you don't have to. I think if you try it out, like most page patrollers and many admins, you won't know how you edited the project without it. But please set your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator" and then when you tag an article for deletion, Twinkle will post a notice on the talk page of the page creator on your behalf.
It would also help if you provide a fuller reason for deleting an article than just "WP:N", maybe a few sentences explaining why you believe an article should be deleted. Thank you for considering this request. Liz Read! Talk! 00:06, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, @ 162 etc.!
I see that you twice moved the dab Like the Wind (song) from pointing a more specific target to pointing to a disambiguation page (a "dab"). You also completely deleted both the entire redirect shell, and the two categorisations. I hope all this was due to misunderstanding.
In general, we avoid redirs to dabs, when there are more specific targets. As you can see, the dab you twice choose as target, Like the Wind, does contain a reference to the song as one of its entries, by referring to the article Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 1999. In such situations, we usually let the redir point to the more precise target, not the dab. (Actually, redirecting to a dab is deprecated, as is by the software; you can read the warnings that the software added to your edit comments for both your edits in the history.)
As you perhaps knows, we also have a bunch of specific templates used for redirs. You find them in the Category:Redirect templates and its subcategories. In general, a redir should contain at least one of these templates; often several. If there are more than one, a template shell should be used. For some reason (quite possibly by a simple oversight), you completely removed the whole shell, with its four specific redir attributes, when you changed the target. You can compare the information on the original version with the way you left it.
Finally, one of the attributes you removed was the Template:R with possibilities. At some time in the future, hopefully, someone with enough knowledge, interest, and time, will restore the article, but as a full article rather than a stub. Until then, at least, it should be possible to find the scant information we now provide about the subject by means of the relevant categories. (And, yes, categorising redirs with potentials very often is a good idea.)
Since I guess most of the trouble was due just to some oversights, I shall revert your last edit. If you disagree, you may change the target again - but, please, if you do, think over any further changes you want to make; do not remove content you have not decided ought to be removed!

Hello, In late November, I moved the article Instagram (Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, David Guetta, Daddy Yankee, Afro Bros, and Natti Natasha song) to Instagram (2019 song), but was reverted by you. I knew the guideline WP:SONGDAB existed, but I decided to WP:IAR since the original disambiguator is impractically long. "2019 song" provides the same about of clarity while being drastically shorter. Ca talk to me! 10:05, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
I was notified of this revert. I think it is contrary to MOS:DABPIPE: "Apart from the exceptions listed below, piping and redirects should generally not be used on disambiguation pages." See also its examples for "Switch" and "Ten", which do not start the list entry with the link. Also please note WP:DABSTYLE's efn statement saying "Communicating the actual titles of entries at variance with the base title one might expect—were the entries not ambiguous with each other—is integral to the purpose of a DAB page." In this case, the redirect is covering up the fact that the linked article is on a different (broader scope) subject. This is all moot if toy boy (slang) is agreed to be the primary topic for the term (see the RM at Talk:Toy boy#Requested move 18 December 2023), but in that case the opening sentence of the DAB page would be phrased differently. — BarrelProof ( talk) 20:48, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I wanted to apologize for and clarify about this edit. I was looking for the article about the 2008 Chinese milk scandal, and typed "Milk scandal", and in the search suggestions appeared "Mink scandal" which does redirect to the article about the Danish mink cull, but I didn't notice that the word in the redirect and the article was "mink" and not "milk" and didn't pay attention to it.

Hi again,
could I trouble you to take a look at this situation?
I daresay the mildly notable album makes a better primary than the current one, but I dunno what, if anything, should be done with the other two. They're about the same thing, give or take, are stubs, more or less, and are unsourced. They do have hundreds of incoming links, which based on a couple of spot checks is mostly because they appear in various TV-channel navboxes.

You seem to be the only editor who insists that this be the page title for this article. Several different editors have changed it to its legal name but you keep moving it back. You cite a RM discussion but all I can find is Talk:Bed Bath & Beyond#Requested move 12 October 2023 which closed as No Consensus. Is there another RM discussion that supports your action?
