Vegas, noticed a page edit notice at Las Vegas, Nevada. Did you place this? If so, what is the justification for that? Was there a consensus to do this? Comment at Talk:Las Vegas, Nevada please. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 04:38, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Vegaswikian, as Admin to Admin, I am curious as to your rationale for relisting the Kolkata RM. I almost closed this one today, but didn't. I think the decision is obvious from the discussion if one weighs both sides equally. I am not being critical of the relisting, but as a relatively new regular RM closer, I would like to know how other admin RM closers are thinking. Indeed discussion was ongoing, and I suspect there's still hope on both sides about the outcome, but do you think that relisting tempers that hope with reality and just extends more opportunity for others to weigh in, regardless of the inevitable outcome. Just curious. Thanks - Mike Cline ( talk) 23:17, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

In this edit you noted that disambiguation was needed for The Daily Courier.

Could you take a look at Talk:Córdoba Province (Argentina)#Requested move and see what you think (as a frequent closer of move discussions)? I thought I would try to close this requested move, but it looks to be no consensus all the way down.
I tried to explore the issue by asking at User talk:Andrewa#Requested move since he was a person who had joined both in the RM and in the related policy discussion. His take is that we should undo the 15 December move because it was speedy and done without discussion. Even if we take Andrewa's advice it still leaves us with a fair amount of inconsistency, according to the comment I left on his page. So we'd have to be content with having just these selected articles moved to the parenthesized form, and have it not serve as a precedent for any other geographic names. Also, any similar move requests for other parts of the world would be handled de novo, and could reach a different result. This seems like a poor outcome, since there is nothing special about South America or Argentina that seems to call for a tailored result.
In case it matters, the parenthesized form (not the comma form) is used in the Spanish, French and German Wikipedias for Córdoba Province (Argentina). Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 02:42, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi!
First, because of my reputation of being argumentative, and that argumentation sometimes being disruptive, I want you to know that I've promised to change. So although I'm asking you a question here about something you've written, rest assured that I won't badger you or anything for however you reply. I'm just curious about this.
Second, putting aside our past differences on some topics like Las Vegas (FWIW, I'm coming around to agreeing with you on its ambiguity anyway - though if I'm not mistaken I've been there before, LOL), I think we are on the same page more often than not. That's my impression anyway; would you agree?
Anyway, I wanted to ask you about a particular comment you made recently at Talk:Catholic_Memorial_School_(West_Roxbury,_Massachusetts)#Requested_move which surprised me. You wrote that you were not convinced there was a primary topic. I was wondering if you were aware that Catholic Memorial School redirected to that article for years, and while a few people in that discussion suggested that maybe it should be a dab page, there were no actual candidates mentioned to put on it. Doesn't the existence of a redirect, no dab page, and no prospect of a dab page, pretty much establish a primary topic? -- Born2cycle ( talk) 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Vegaswikian! I've opposed the speedy renames of all these because the articles are about Parishes and not only about the church buildings, ergo the new title is not a good fit for the articles in question. I'm happy to discuss the matter wherever you like. Thanks & best, Markvs88 ( talk) 03:28, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
You might recall this requested move for the WBGR (AM) article, now that the station is officially WFSI. I've now cleared up any references to the old WFSI (the FM station now known as WLZL); all mainspace and template links to WFSI now refer to the AM station in Baltimore (the former WBGR), with links referring to the old FM WFSI being updated to linking to WLZL or unlinked/removed entirely, as each instance warranted. That was the main issue with the move request; since that has been rectified, it obviously is worth revisiting. (Note as well that WFSI currently redirects to WBGR (AM) anyhow, so it's not as if any large new issues will arise; the only potential issue was a missing hatnote, and I've already dealt with that too…) I'm noting this here since you were open to revisiting the move once the template updates were dealt with; the move, of course, will put the article back in compliance with our naming conventions regarding broadcast stations, as this station changed from WBGR to WFSI nearly two months ago. Thanks, -- WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:56, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Way back in 2007 you closed a CFD as Delete for the Iron Chef category. At the time there were 4 articles in the category, not counting the various chefs. I'm looking to recreate the category, but wanted to run it by you first as the closer. At this point in time I count (at least) 6 series, 2 episode lists, and 1 video game, and the Futurama episode for placement in the article, again not counting the chefs themselves. The close focused on creation of a nav template, but there is at present no such template on the articles. So that alternative either was never implemented, or was removed since then. At this point with this many articles, my personal thought is that a category is warranted. But this situation is also complicated by a G4 deletion of a recreation of the category in mid 2011. So one way or another I need to with the old CFD before I go about recreating the category. The first step is this note here. :) - TexasAndroid ( talk) 22:56, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. What I was trying to achieve was moving the page to Tequila (instrumental) and have Tequila (song) redirect to it.

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and

Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we
teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community,
and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what
you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community
[[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_-
_New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my
students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training,
motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one
of our students.

There's a long argument on the TALK page in which people would really rather complain that the technical definition of "heat" isn't what the ordinary person uses, or even what scientists used 150 years ago. But they're just complainers. The obvious "fix" (if there is one) is to do what we've done with work for heat and let the complainers do their alternate defintion accessed by the heat dab page. I'll put up a formal request. See TALK:heat. S B H arris 20:35, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I am surprised at the decision you came to at this RM. You closed it as No Consensus, but then returned it to its previous name. No English-language sources are presented for 'Slovak First League', whereas there are such sources for Super Liga. I think that such season articles should reflect the parent article, although I see someone has now moved the parent article (wrongly, using a redirect). I'd be grateful if you could reflect further on this decision and provide some feedback to me if possible. Thanks. Eldumpo ( talk) 08:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
I saw you were closing a lot of the "Old (X)" CfDs, and then you stopped.

Please could you explain why you relisted this? We've got consensus - everyone agrees! The only opposer is basically in agreement.

Responding to your comments:
You need to understand that most of the supporters here (including me) are supporting this as a middle ground so we can move on, not because it's perfect. The opposer was not involved in the previous discussions over many months so likely doesn't understand.
As you say, there is consensus that the current name doesn't work. Your rationale for not taking the "step by step" approach suggests you think we should hold out for a perfect option which discussion history has shown doesn't exist, at the expense of keeping the article at the clearly wrong place. We just want to get on with things and stop wasting time. Oncenawhile ( talk) 14:08, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

There is a lot of confusion with this page on the number of redirects. I can only wish to highlight that there is possibility of Double redirect error on this page.

I'm sort of surprised that you list UNLV as being somewhere other than in Las Vegas given that the street address for the University on the home page for the University is "University of Nevada, Las Vegas 4505 S. Maryland Pkwy. Las Vegas, NV 89154". I could see issues that that is a Primary source, however the United States Postal Service also considers it in Las Vegas. Like UNLV, I also live in an area outside an Incorporated City where the Postal Service considers my address to be in that town. I appreciate that Paradise is fairly large, but I can't think of anywhere else that Wikipedia puts the name of a Census Designated Place as preferable to the Street Address of the location. I appreciate that you from Las Vegas and do not doubt that UNLV is part of the Paradise CDP, but IMO, that is *not* what should be used. Naraht ( talk) 20:31, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Vegas, this [2] diff is really troubling. The fact that you changed this isn't too troubling, expect that you changed it after the requested move was ruled the exact opposite of your ambiguous claim. The consensus of the requested move was that Las Vegas explicitly is not ambiguous - if anyone but you thought it was ambiguous, then Las Vegas would still be a disambiguation page, wouldn't it?

Hi Vegas: I've got a question about your note on three of today's CFDs—two proposed by me, and one proposed by another editor involved with WP:BIRD. I'm a CFD newbie, and I have apparently done something incorrectly. The three categories we're nominating are all genera that were abandoned recently by taxonomists, after a major reshuffle in one family of birds. We've modified all the articles to reflect the new taxonomy, and are now trying to get rid of the former categories (which are empty and will now be empty forever). Is there something else we should have done? MeegsC | Talk 19:17, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I'm dropping you this note as a request to help.
I just looked at 30 random CfD pages, and based upon that we seem the be the most common closers (those who determine consensus of discussions) at CfD. (If I have overlooked anyone, it is obviously purely an oversight.)
I think we've all been seeing the difficulties that some editors has been having lately concerning some self-asserted bold edits. And how they may be seen by others as disruptive.
I think that at least some of the trouble could be that while most of use are aware of common practice regarding category pages, we really do not have a unified MoS regarding what a category page should look like or include. And so when someone attempts to edit contrary to that understood common practice, it is seen as disruptive.
I'd like to prevent this from happening now or in the future.
So I'm asking you to join in and help edit Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Category pages to a point where it reflects consensus and common practice as we understand it. And perhaps finding any new consensus as necessary.
This is obviously not exclusive to only us to discuss (so any lurkers out there would be welcome), I merely thought inviting you all would be a good start : )
(This is not because I think we'll all agree. Honestly, I expect that on some things we'll likely disagree. And that - as I think we all expect - will just help make the results of the discussion better and more useful for everyone, and therefore, more reflective of the greater consensus at Wikipedia.)
I sincerely hope that you will be able to find the time to help out.
Regardless, thank you for your time, and your continued contributions at CfD - jc37 14:27, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

You just added South Worcester Branch Library and removed it from Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1913.
I see that Category:Infrastructure completed in 1913 is a subcat of Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1913, so at first glance, that is an entirely reasonable change.
I don't, however, understand the relationship of the two cats. "Infrastructure" is a far more general term than "Buildings and structures" -- it includes all of:

Hi Vegaswikian. I've created a few more of the Transport infrastructure by year of completion categories which you started and was thinking about ways of populating them. One possibility is to ask a bot to add each category Category:Tunnels completed in XXXX to Category:Transport infrastructure completed in XXXX. The same could be done for airports, bridges, lighthouses, railway lines, railway stations and roads, all of which have "by year of establishment/opening/completion" categories. Question a) do you think that makes sense? Question b) can you think of other categories of this type which should be added as transport infrastructure?

Hi Vegaswikian -- I notice, of course, some of your many edits removing year-categories that come into new NRHP historic district articles, and I don't disagree with their removal as categories, as the meaning of the year from NRIS database is not clear. (It is also not completely clear for NRHP places that are individual buildings, but that is another discussion). However your typical edit summary, as in your edit to the Ayden Historic District article just now, doesn't make sense, and I kinda wish you would stop making that. It is confusing, probably, to many new and future editors.
Your edit summary there, which i think is typical, includes "Historic districts are not completed in one year. Use categories on the individual articles for the year completed." I think what you are believing is that there should be separate articles created, or just redirects, for the contributing buildings in a historic district, and that each of those separate articles or redirects can have a precise year built category that applies for that building. However, if that is what you think, I think no one understands that you want it to happen, and it is simply not going to happen. NRHP editors are not doing that, and will not. It comes across to me as if you are either calling for something to be done, or you are trying to be polite and suggest there is a remedy to what you are doing. I think it best for you to change your edit summary to just be direct, that you don't believe year categories make sense for historic districts.
I'll myself try to catch and remove year categories in historic district articles that i start, too. I don't promise to be perfect in that, but I'll try. In general I don't pay much attention to categories and basically feel i don't understand their use in wikipedia. Especially not for "establishments". -- do ncr am 00:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Vegawikian. You have started to construct two parallel schemes for categorizing casinos: Category:Casinos by year of completion and Category:Casinos by year of establishment. It seems like a bad idea to have systems so close that they are bound to cause confusion and would force many casinos to be categorized in what would seem to most a redundant way. I might be wrong but I seem to remember something like that was discussed about shopping malls and the argument (which I find compelling in the present case) is that the establishment is usually a formal opening at a specific date and is well documented whereas the date of completion is harder to verify and more open to debate (does the paint in the bathroom have to be dry?) So I favor keeping Category:Casinos by year of establishment. Obviously I can take this to CfD but if I'm not mistaken you created all of these categories so if you agree, you can also speedy delete the "year of completion" branch.

Hi, Vegaswikian. After looking category:Petroleum and its subcategories, I think there are some issues. Probably the overall tree of subcategories needs some consideration. Particularly, division between Category:Petroleum engineering and Category:Petroleum technology needs a clear separation criteria. Second issue is that category:Petroleum and the higher categories are overloaded with entries which need more specific categories. The third issue is that if the higher categories are using "Petroleum" in their name, a lot of subcategories and category trees are using the word "Oil". Maybe this is not a problem but a clear understanding is needed. I believe that you may have some ideas what to do with these issues. Beagel ( talk) 18:15, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I keep occasionally noticing your edits like this one with your standard edit summary "Historic districts are not completed in one year. Use categories on the individual articles for the year completed.". It continues to jar me that you refer to "the individual articles". There is no need for individual articles, they don't exist, neither you nor anyone is advocating that a separate article for each building covered in an HD should be created. This seems wrong for you to be filling the histories of many HD articles with edit comments that will not make sense to anyone.
And,about the Barnum/Palliser Historic District in particular, removing the category Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1830 seems wrong. There is a building in the district completed in c.1830. You could have a valid complaint that the article didn't specifically describe the 1830 building, and call for that specific description to be added by a talk page comment or by some tag on the article, but I think it is not proper to delete the category when the NRIS database gives us the info that it is probably an accurate category to use. Call for support, yes, delete the info, no. Anyhow, for this one I added specific description, and restored the category and added another, Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1878. It seems proper to have both categories and perhaps more attached to the HD article. -- do ncr am 18:39, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
In particular, how about we review the historic districts in the state of Utah, where NRHP nomination documents are available online, and i have been developing recently (nearly done starting all of List of RHPs in Utah County), and where i plan to complete out all the HD articles state-wide. Would you agree to consider what the categories should be, given good information, in these cases? For example, Pleasant Grove Historic District, where you applied your standard edit, and where the article did not specifically in its contents support the "buildings completed in 1853" category. I dunno, should there be two new categories, for beginning and ending date of period of significance of a historic district? The beginning and ending dates of significance are defining characteristics of NRHP districts; they are salient facts that are reported in the NRHP nom docs and in the NRIS system. It happens that often the beginning date is a date of completion of the earliest building, but that is not always the meaning of the beginning date. We could both look at the linked, complete NRHP nomination document. -- do ncr am 13:47, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello!
The well known chauvinist romanian wiki-troll User:Iaaasi returned (with a new croatian fake identity) He is now active alias user: Irji2012 He is often active in Hungarian-related aricles, he enjoy edit-warring deleting good sources and sentences from important articles, and he like to break the rules of wiki even 3 revert rule. Can you arrange about this notorious wiki-troll? Thank you! Peter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.0.49.97 ( talk) 11:20, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Could you merge the histories of User:KAVEBEAR/Kānekapōlei and Kanekapolei and move the merged article to Kānekapōlei?-- KAVEBEAR ( talk) 19:52, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Vegaswikian -- I applaud your efforts to clean out the Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1985 and similar categories. However, I undid the change of Central State Museum of Kazakhstan to Category:Infrastructure completed in 1985. Museums are not infrastructure. If it's needed to clean up the category structure, perhaps a new category structure of Culture-related buildings, including theater, religion, museums, music venues. ("Cultural infrastructure", perhaps.) -- Lquilter ( talk) 02:46, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi - this edit suggests you were trying to update a "district", not a nhl. It is effectively one giant complex building. dm ( talk) 04:47, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello,
I
undid your edit because the building in question is not a residential building. I looked in
Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1870, and none of the subcategories seems to suit this building. The Old Student house is AFAIK mostly an entertainment venue (ballroom) and a café. There are definitely no residential quarters in the building.
Category:School buildings completed in 1870 comes close, but the house is owned by the university's student union—not by the university—which means that there are no university lectures or other education there, and anyway universities are rarely categorized as "schools". Today it serves mostly a commercial purpose, but more importantly it was not build as a commercial venue to my knowledge, which excludes
Category:Commercial buildings completed in 1870. Maybe it's best just to leave this one in the broad category, unless you can come up with a better subcategory? --

Hi there, as per WP:CONS I'm here to kindly ask you to revert the non consensual moving of the Belgian Defence page, restoring everything to its previous consensual name: Belgian Army. The Belgian Armed Forces were disbanded in 2002 by Royal Decree and the once previously single independent armed forces were merged into the Army as 4 different "components" (branches) just like People's Liberation Army or the Yugoslav People's Army. Even if almost 11 years are passed since that decision for someone is hard to understand. Thank you in advance and Happy new year!!! -- Nicola Romani ( talk) 14:17, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
