Your draft article, Draft:MoveRAN

Hello, Anthony Appleyard. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "MoveRAN".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:24, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Confederation of Australian Motor Sport move

Yesterday, I posted a technical request in RM to move Confederation of Australian Motor Sport to Motorsport Australia as it had renamed at the start of the new year (there was a RM discussion which I attempted to perform a non-admin closure on until I realized moments after closing it that I was unable to do so). You eventually removed it and seven others saying it was complete, though the article is still at CAMS with the latest edit being RMCD bot removing the discussion template. I'm not sure if it was a result of my botched closure (meaning I'd have to reopen a new discussion) or if it was merely an oversight, but it'd be appreciated if you can handle this and move it to the intended destination.

African Jesuit AIDS Network

Hi Anthony. Thanks for all your hard work in this area. African Jesuit AIDS Network was deleted recently by you. In the previous version of the article there were no independent references. I think the new references provided in the last version of the article have not been correctly assessed. The new references are independent and make the article admissible. Where can I expose this situation to assess the possible recovery of the deleted article? Thank you very much in advance.--Medol (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

School bus

  • There was unanimous agreement among several editors at WP:RM/TR that the undiscussed move of school bus should be reverted before discussion. Requests to revert undiscussed moves like this should always be done, especially when they are so highly controversial.

Nomination of Undermountain for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Undermountain is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Undermountain (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 notice from the top of the article. TTN (talk) 23:22, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

please explain

Hey Mr. sysop Appleyard, please explain to me why you did speedy delete my disambiguation page.(Diff). Those other musicians with the same name were IMHO both notable. I carefully added Discogs-weblinks that proved it. Both have several albums. I was quite surprised about your decision while I was busy diambiguing the 'what links here' list. And I had not even a fair chance to speak against the proposal because it happened much to hurried. Just seeing a redlink seems enough reason to be speedy deleted? -- Just N. (talk) 15:49, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi, Justus, I've also reverted your page move. In this case, actually, yes, a red link is enough to remove a disambiguation page. Per policy: disambiguation pages are for distinguishing between titles that refer to more than one subject covered by Wikipedia, either as the main topic of an article, or as a subtopic covered by an article in addition to the article's main topic ... Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. (emphasis mine) There must be existing articles to distinguish between for a dab page to be necessary. To put it another way: dab pages disambiguate between articles, not subjects. In this case, there are no other articles, so there is no disambiguation necessary. If you really feel that these other people are notable, you should start by writing actual articles for them, and then once those articles exist, disambiguation can be considered. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:29, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Also, for the record, Anthony did not delete your page, speedily or otherwise; he simply overwrote the contents with a redirect. That's a normal editor action that anyone could do or undo. I, on the other hand, did delete it in reverting your page move. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:32, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
Okay, acknowledgement so far. It is stricter than I had expected but doesn't lack a certain consistency. -- Just N. (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added 00:11, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
So why didn't you undo all your pipes? Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:18, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I should have directed it to Justus Nussbaum as I can see how it's confusing. Only one editor went through every instance of [[Ben GLover]] to change it to the now redirected [[Ben Glover (music producer)|Ben Glover]]. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Seven Isles

@Anthony Appleyard:

I'm curious why you created a full 7 day move discussion for Seven Isles when there was unanimity among the editors, and no objections, to the move. It was policy-based and logical. I'm just not sure why we need to have a full discussion here, particularly since this is even less controversial than the other one, which was done. I'm wondering if you'll reconsider your decision and close as moved?

Cheers,
--Doug Mehus T·C 23:36, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Further to my above enquiry, noting your edit here where you write,"@Dmehus, Narky Blert, and Crouch, Swale: queried move request," that makes me think that you've, perhaps working quickly through the excellent administrator mopping that you do, incorrectly interpreted the queries and discussion as being a contested request? If that's the case, no worries at all, and thank you again for your service. I see your name and Fastily's show up in the deletion log a lot—actioning speedy and other deletion requests and so forth. So, if it's possible, since this is an uncontested request, to accelerate the move, I would be most grateful. Doug Mehus T·C 01:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Pinging Dmehus. IMO the decision to relist was correct. The fact that an "uncontested nomination" attracted any comments at all (other than plain "supports") demonstrates that it might be contested. There's WO:NOHURRY. The usual seven days allows time to reach WP:CONSENSUS and get it right. Narky Blert (talk) 04:37, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Narky Blert, True, to an extent, but the other one for Arlington Theater --> Arlington Theatre attracted the same number of participants and those vouching "support," and it was done, so that's why I wondered if this may have been unintentional. Doug Mehus T·C 10:27, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Yes I'm not sure when this was brought to a full RM but maybe AA thought it as being complicated. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:28, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, that's one of three possibilities, along with AA also potentially misinterpreting our discussion as a contested page move, or the possibility that AA contested the page move and that, if even one person contests such a request regardless of any consensus, then the process is to initiate a full RM? At any rate, some clarity from AA would be helpful so I understand the process fully going forward, at minimum. Doug Mehus T·C 12:36, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Yes usually if someone contests a move in the technical requests (or in some cases if they think it would benefit from discussion anyway) it does go to a full RM. If its a request to revert an undiscussed move then these are usually granted, see Talk:Kolossus for example that was not posted in the correct place. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:48, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
  • @Dmehus, Narky Blert, and Crouch, Swale: There seemed to be so much very recent discussion there that I thought it best to change it into an ordinary whether-to-move-and-where-to discussion. And see the amount of sevens of islands listed in page Seven Islands. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:02, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
    Anthony Appleyard, thanks for clarifying. Sounds like it was an unanticipated fourth reason. Nevertheless, unless you or an admin decides to close early per WP:SNOW, it'll almost certainly be moved in seven days so I'm not too concerned. Doug Mehus T·C 13:05, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

Move Specialty store (veraion 2) to Specialty store (version 2)

    I suppose I should have been more specific. I know that G6 is sometimes used as a blanket "housekeeping" deletion criteria, but this one specifically said that it was fudging an WP:A10 deletion, which isn't valid. You can't G6 a draft just because someone asks. Primefac (talk) 23:14, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Request for udeletion

Sahar Tabar

I saw this article was proposed for speedy deletion and objected on the talk page, but I did not remove the template because I was the main editor (though not the creator). It was not an attack page. I think it represented the reporting reasonably and from reliable sources. Was there concern about repercussions against the subject? Tabar's notability and story was very widely reported, so I think that would be more of a concern than the WP article. Jack N. Stock (talk) 01:24, 25 February 2020 (UTC)

Rom the Space Knight requested move

Hello, Anthony Appleyard. Thank you for completing my requested move. While it might still be fresh in your mind, do you know what might have been preventing me from completing this move myself and where administrator tools would have been required? (I'm presuming admin tools were needed even above Page Mover rights since another mover wasn't unable to complete it--or didn't want to.) If not, that's OK, I just wanted to check. -Thanks, 2pou (talk) 21:51, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

  • @2pou: The move was blocked by a redirect edit. If you want to move a page over a redirect and leave a redirect behind, do not try the round-robin technique, but simply make a single move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:18, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the info. Does that apply for any redirect edits that occurred in the history of the redirect to be overwritten, or was it because it was a recent edit that I had just tried to make? -2pou (talk) 23:47, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
  • @2pou: A round-robin move is to swop the names of 2 pages, e.g. X to Q, Y to X, Q to Y, all 3 moves being in "do not leave a redirect" mode. If you are not an admin, all your page moves leave a redirect behind. If X is a text page, and Y's history is only redirects, a round-robin move is not needed, and trying a round-robin move leaves an extra redirect at each move and makes a mess. And, moving a redirect always creates another redirect (unless you are an admin). That is why redirects breed like rabbits, and sometimes at a page name I find an astonishingly long edit history made of all redirects. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Robam Moni Mekhala

Did I confuse you with my request to accept the draft on the dance, or did you delete the draft for some other reason?

I thought that I was requesting that a history merge be done between the old and the new versions of the articles on the dance after the dance was heavily copy-edited? However, it seems that the draft on the dance has been deleted. The author, Antony Willanson, is willing to draft the article again, but that would result in another version that would still need heavy copy-editing. Did I completely confuse you, and am I again expected to write a very profound letter of apology for how I requested the wrong thing, when what I wanted was for there to be both an article on the goddess and on article on the dance, and for both of them to be in reasonable English?

Robert McClenon (talk) 14:49, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

User:Anthony Appleyard - Yes, but Robam Moni Mekhala (version 2) redirects back to the goddess, and so appears to have been hidden or deleted. Should I revert the redirect? Should I then rename version 2 back to Robam Moni Mekhala (the dance) and leave it tagged as needing heavy copy-edit? Or should I draftify it and let someone else copy-edit it in draft space? Thank you, but what do I do next? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:02, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you, User:Anthony Appleyard. It's in terrible shape grammatically, and I have tagged it, but it can be cleaned up in article space. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:33, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

The page Found In The Flood was originally a redirect to Found in the Flood before the double redirect was fixed to point to The Bled instead.

Joseph Maldonado-Passage

I started the above article and gave consideration to the article title. FYI: there was already a Joe Exotic redirect leading to the Joseph Maldonado-Passage page. I am not sure why you would make this redirect with no talk page discussion. The Joseph Maldonado-Passage page was getting 20-30 thousand hits a day as it was. I think we should consider that he is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, and he was indicted, and convicted in that name ...and referred to as such by all. Joe Exotic was a nickname he gave himself. I have come here without doing a revert because I see that you are an administrator and I do not want to get into a jam over it. cheers Lightburst (talk) 21:13, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Stanislav Shekshnia is a well-known academic. --Alexandrov98 (talk) 10:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

He is a Senior Affiliate Professor of Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise at INSEAD and a core faculty at INSEAD Corporate Governance Center (https://centres.insead.edu/corporate-governance/faculty/index.cfm). He directs Leading from the Chair (https://www.insead.edu/executive-education/corporate-governance/leading-from-the-chair) and joint INSEAD – Scandinavian Executive Institute Executive Board (http://www.se-institute.dk/eng/programmes/executive-board-programme) programs at INSEAD.

Dr. Shekshnia’s research focuses on leadership, and effective governance. He pioneered research of board chairs’ practices – iterative behavior strategies for getting things done and proposed a model of 3Es leadership for board leaders:

https://centres.insead.edu/corporate-governance/meeting-reports/documents/BoardChairsPracticesacrossCountries_razv.pdf

In addition to his career in academia he has a significant corporate experience: Stanislav Shekshnia is a chair of the board of directors at http://www.russianfishery.ru/eng and http://samoletgroup.ru. Independent director at https://www.nlmk.com/en/ and https://www.nis.eu/en/.

His reserach is widely discussed, for example:

FORBES: https://www.forbes.com/sites/berlinschoolofcreativeleadership/2018/04/03/stanislav-shekshnia-on-athletic-leaders-in-turbulent-times/

CNBS: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/02/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-resigns-as-chairman--heres-what-that-really-means.html

Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/content/949c0aa2-4886-11e3-8237-00144feabdc0

It corresponds with two criteria of notability for academics:

5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon.

7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. --Alexandrov98 (talk) 12:02, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

@Anthony Appleyard, please take a look at these arguments: --Alexandrov98 (talk) 05:36, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

"WP:ACADEMIC" indicates:

5. The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon. - Stanislav Shekshnia holds a chair at INSEAD. INSEAD is one the leading business schools worldwide: http://rankings.ft.com/businessschoolrankings/insead

6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.- Stanislav Sheksnia directs two programs at INSEAD: Leading from the Chair (https://www.insead.edu/executive-education/corporate-governance/leading-from-the-chair) and joint INSEAD – Scandinavian Executive Institute Executive Board (http://www.se-institute.dk/eng/programmes/executive-board-programme) programs.

7. The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. The study outcomes disccus in international media: Some examples:

Bolton Group

Yo, why did you delete Bolton Group? I made it and I can guarantee that it didn’t meet the standards for G11. It was my 100th article created, I know what I’m doing and this was written from an NPOV. It was also a well sourced 8,000 byte article. I simply don’t understand how notability hasn’t been met, they are a conglomerate which meets notability guidelines on their own and *also* includes multiple notable subsidiaries... UHU even already has a wikipedia page. This was my second page creation in an effort to flesh out the top three tuna traders on earth with wikipedia pages, only one of the three already had one, not some attempt at promoting a major Italian company.

Writing ANY new article about most current tv performers will invariably run into difficulty, especially with deletionists. I explained about a third of AGT performers that got a golden ticket have articles, four of those won the show. It's frankly stupid or nonsense that this is going on. This site has major difficulties and this is merely one. Momentum7 (talk) 10:23, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

In regards to The Torch

Hello Anthony,

Happy 3 years as an administrator. I'm unsure if it's okay to contact an administrator on their talk page in regards to this issue, place let me know if it is not. In regards to The Torch, I saw that you had briefly moved it because I had requested a move as uncontroversial/technical but then moved it back because there was a standard move request in place. I wanted to see if it were possible for you to process the move as uncontroversial/technical as that the was the corrected intended move request, as the standard one was submitted prior to me being aware that there was a move request variant that's specific to our issue (the technical one).

Please let me know. 07:17, 18 April 2020‎ User:Mehrpw

Beth Kustan

I don't know why do made that move. The official name is reported to be Beth Katun. Here by TRT the Turkish state broadcaster and here by Bianet. Both Report that the official name was changed back to Beth Kustan from Alagöz for the first time for a Assyirian Village. Both sources were also in the text included. Would be glad for a clarification.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 14:49, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Beth Kustan move

Hi, I noticed you moved this article to Alagöz, Mardin. It states in the article the village was officially renamed from Alagöz to Beth Kustan in 2015 [1]. Albeit "Beth Kustan" has 70 results on Google whereas "Alagöz" 100 results, Alagöz is also the name of several other villages in Turkey, so it's probable they're not wholly about the village in Mardin province, Turkey, and thus not more popular than Beth Kustan. I personally think it should be renamed back to Beth Kustan. Mugsalot (talk) 14:56, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

@Paradise Chronicle:@Mugsalot: As of 31 March 2019, the name of the village was "Alagöz". The best way to check if a village has actually received a name change is to check YSK election results or Nüfüsü. Also, I don't think we should move away from using the official names of settlements in Turkey since it can create a lot of unwanted disruptive editing. --Semsûrî (talk) 15:03, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
If the village name was never officially restored to Beth Kustan then I agree with Alagöz, Mardin as the article title. I provided the search numbers as you suggested Alagöz is more popular, which I disagree with. Mugsalot (talk) 15:13, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Okay, I've been looking at the Alagöz of Derik. The one in Midyat has certainly received a name change in 2015[2]. I support a return to Beth Kustan. --Semsûrî (talk) 15:25, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Easy mistake to make, it went over my head too. Thanks for the website, I'll be sure to make use of it in future. Mugsalot (talk) 15:33, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for this informative discussion. I Support a move back to Beth Kustan as well.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:23, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

  • I wish this article hadn't been deleted: it doesn't appear to be a synonym of "structure from motion." Can you explain why you deleted this article? Jarble (talk) 17:00, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
  • @Jarble: Its text is "In computer vision and computer graphics, 4D reconstruction is the process of capturing the shape and appearance of real objects along a temporal dimension. This process can be accomplished either by active or passive methods and is also referred to as non-rigid or spatio-temporal reconstruction". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:02, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
@Ethanpet113 and Anthony Appleyard:: "4D reconstruction" is not a synonym of "structure from motion." It refers to reconstruction of 3-dimensional scenes that change over time, sometimes using stereo cameras to record several videos simultaneously. Since this is not the same as "structure from motion," the "4D reconstruction" article should probably be re-created. Jarble (talk) 22:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Recently, I noticed that you moved Aishwarya Rai to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan following a request by Krimuk2.0 was submitted at WP:RM/TR. As far as I know, those requests can be approved only if they are not controversial. In this case, it doesn't appear to be an uncontroversial move as there was a requested move submitted on the article's talk page about two years ago and the consensus was against moving the article to its current title. I'd be glad if you clarify the reason behind moving the page at this point. Keivan.fTalk 02:11, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

The article RW99 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No RIS since 2006.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Laal Singh Chaddha

An film article titled Laal Singh Chaddha was created, over a draft I created of the same film Draft:Laal Singh Chaddha. Can we possibly merge the edit histories so that my draft's history is not lost? Cardei012597 (talk) 01:30, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Concern about not acting against vandalism

I do not believe it was the right decision to decline the histmerge of Laal Singh Chaddha, due to supposed WP:Parallel histories, and I have good reasons for disagreeing with your choice. First, my draft version of this article was created on September 16, 2019, over a month before the separate mainspace article was created on October 31, 2019. Second, User:CAP202, the creator of the mainspace article, clearly copy and pasted the information from my draft into his separate mainspace article. This user is also a band sockpuppet of User:PankhilSen. I find it very distressing that a clear act of vandalism, brought on by a known sock puppet, is not being dealt with or fixed in any meaningful way. I highly suggest in some action against this matter, as I started this article first. Cardei012597 (talk) 04:39, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

  • @Cardei012597 and JJMC89: See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft%3ALaal_Singh_Chaddha&type=revision&diff=956390417&oldid=956380237 :: at 02:59, 13 May 2020 User:JJMC89 (who is an administrator) declined this same request but asked by User:Cardei012597, also because of WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:49, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
    Even if a histmerge can not be done, this is still allowing a vandal to succeed. He was able to create a mainspace article, stealing from my draft. This act is extremely disruptive and remains unfinished. I propose to delete his original mainspace page, as it was created through disruptive actions, and move my draft into the mainspace. I already reported this band sock puppet's actions, to get some action done on this matter. Cardei012597 (talk) 04:54, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
    I am growing concerned that some wikipedia editors might be too lax on dealing with the disruptive actions of sock puppets and banned users. What this user did should not stand, his disruptive work should NOT be ignored or brushed aside. What he did was pure vandalism, and I want some action done. Cardei012597 (talk) 04:57, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
    • @Cardei012597: In the history of page Laal Singh Chaddha, User:CAP202 made only 4 very early edits; all its other edits were made by miscellaneous users. It remains to decide which of page Laal Singh Chaddha (currently 15,480 bytes} and page Draft:Laal Singh Chaddha (at last text edit 9,752 bytes) is a better description of the movie named Laal Singh Chaddha. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:22, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
      So, from what you are saying, a known sock puppet is allowed to have credit for creating a page? Especially one that was stolen from my draft article? Does any of this sound the least bit unfair? Cardei012597 (talk) 05:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
      My draft edit history should NOT be discarded and forgotten due to the actions of a banned sock puppet. Regardless of the extent of other editors, this sock puppet started this mainspace page by vandalizing my draft by copy and pasting my information. Now, please, does any of this seem unfair and unjust? Even a little? Can anything be done to fix the damage he caused? Cardei012597 (talk) 05:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
      • @Cardei012597: If User:CAP202's actions had been noticed at once in November 2019, his edits could have been reverted in time. But since then, page Laal Singh Chaddha has been edited about 400 or so times and greatly lengthened by many users. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
        Thats one of the most unfair aspects, I told User:JJMC89 about the issue on November 19, 2019, where the mainspace article was under 400 edits, but he decided it was easier to redirect my draft, instead. [3] I don't know about you but this situation is completely unfair, unjust, and unexcusable. This really has made me question whether it is truly safe to create draft articles, as once anyone, even a sock puppet vandal, copy and pastes my draft into a mainspace, claiming it as their own, I might not be able to do anything about it. I think its rational to say that I might not be dabbling in creating many draft articles anymore, due to how easy it is for vandals to get away with stealing my work and erasing my history. I'll still be editing on wiki, but mostly on the mainspace. I am done bothering you. Take care. Cardei012597 (talk) 05:55, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
        • @Cardei012597: "claiming it as their own" :: I realize how you feel, but Wikipedia articles are free to be edited by anyone who has enough knowledge about the subject of the article, unless he/she has been explicitly banned or blocked by order from editing particular articles or articles about a particular subject. When did you first see that User:JJMC89 had been editing page Laal Singh Chaddha? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:20, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
    See my response on my talk page about this matter. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:25, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
          • In all honesty, I just want to drop the subject. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, this conversation will not result in any particular action. In light of the question you posted "When did you first see that User:JJMC89 had been editing page Laal Singh Chaddha?" it was with my draft, not the mainspace article. I specifically said that "November 19, 2019, redirected my draft". Found on the seventh citation, it was my request for a histmerge, which was declined on November 19, 2019. But, I prefer to just drop the subject. I do not want to aggrivate User:JJMC89, or get on his bad side. I would prefer to not speak of this subject anymore.

Request to Restore Page

Hello, I was not done with the page for Tariq Shafi and was still compiling news sources when it was deleted.

Speedy deletion

Hey Anthony Appleyard,

If you have a moment, would you mind giving me a little more insight into the deletion of the article Party In Backyard? It was a G4 speedy delete that I contested. I'm just wondering what part of my rationale for keeping you disagreed with. I still stand by my statement that the article is in a different state from the original AfD discussion, and the subject clearly passes WP:MUSICBIO. Mbdfar (talk) 14:27, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard, I am familiar with this discussion. However, the discussion is from over a year ago and is outdated. I refuted the points when I contested the speedy deletion on the talk page. I would like to reiterate that since the time of the discussion, the subject now passes notability guidelines. I would still be interested to know what parts of my argument you disagreed with so I am more informed when creating future articles. Mbdfar (talk) 21:36, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Cree (Creegh) and Creegh

The logs for Cree (Creegh) say that the move to Creegh has already been done. You should therefore do the following:

  • Delete Talk:Cree (Creegh), which has more than one edit in its history.
  • Move "Creegh" and "Talk:Creegh" back to "Cree (Creegh)" and "Talk:Cree (Creegh)" respectively, without leaving redirects behind.
  • Finally, undelete all of the deleted edits for "Creegh" and "Talk:Creegh".

What did I do wrong?

Reply

  • Removed Soundwoofer under article (A7) even though I contested the speedy deletion with a "credible claim of significance or importance". The credible claim was that it is the largest publically available collection of cabinet impulse responses in the world.

To give you some insight, here are some guitarists that use this technology when recording:

Also, could you please restore the article to my sandbox so I can revise it and add the the claims to the article? The time between the request and actual deletion did not allow for revision.

Request to Restore Deleted Page for Alex Okoroji

Hey Anthony Appleyard,

I just noticed you deleted Alex Okoroji on May 16 and sited a G11 speedy delete, would you mind giving me a little more insights to why a page that has existed since 2017 was suddenly deleted? She is a notable Nigerian with notable achievements and articles had verifiable sources and citations at the time it was created. If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion. Note: Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion. So, I'm confused as to your decision and why all of a sudden.

Would you please undelete and restore the page, so whatever issues you have with it can be resolved. Thank you very much. Joykodiri (talk) 16:03, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Restore deleted edits for Grattage

The dab page included a term not mentioned in an article (medical), which I have removed, and two mentions of rather marginal people (I'm sure we don't have dab page entries or redirects for most people listed as receiving an MBE, nor for many people who've played in one rugby tournament). If we need links to them, a "surname" page would be better and could be linked from a hatnote on the article on the art topic. Alternatively just a hatnote on the art article.
The art article had a couple of other interesting features: it seems to be an unacknowledged translation of the Italian, and Wikidata linked the Italian version to Scratchboard, a vaguely similar but different technique. I've learned how to unlink Wikidata links today: always something new to learn about Wiki editing!
Please move the art article back to the primary topic title, either moving the dab page to "... (disambiguation)" or just turning it into a couple of hatnotes. PamD 07:21, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Bioconservatism histmerge

Thanks for merging the history of bioconservatism and my sandbox draft of it. It looks like in the process of merging the histories you accidentally put an old revision as the current revision. I'm not sure if restoring the correct revision will mess things up so I'm not going to do it, but I'd appreciate a second look. Specifically, this revision (the one immediately before I added the histmerge template) should be the article's present state. CJK09 (talk) 05:18, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Lynn Anderson discography

Is there a reason why Lynn Anderson albums discography and Lynn Anderson singles discography were not merged with Lynn Anderson discography? Also, your talk page is getting quite long. Please {{ping}} me when you reply. --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:30, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

  • @Jax 0677: User:ChrisTofu11961 likeliest did this text-splitting work. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:37, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @ChrisTofu11961: Please see queries described here. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:40, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Jax 0677:@Anthony Appleyard: First of all Anthony, thank you for your contributions and assistance. It is appreciated. Jax 0677, I am not sure why are causing so much grief over the splitting of this discography. Even though there is no "set rule", most of the lengthy artist discographies on Wikipedia are split by their albums and singles Lynn Anderson's discography is quite lengthy (35 studio albums + 73 singles).
  • I believe it is an injustice for the reader to view one giant discography page when it is not necessary. It can be overwhelming and misleading. Consider readers who may disabilities (such as dyslexia) that might find the organization of the article overwhelming. I suggest you take into consideration the following artist discographies that have been split before you come to your own conclusions. Here are some examples for reference points: Cher singles discography, Cher albums discography, Mariah Carey albums discography (currently listed as FA status) and Mariah Carey singles discography (also listed currently as FA status). ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 23:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Jax 0677: @ChrisTofu11961: I agree with the above. The split between albums discography and singles discography is an acceptable standard for discographies. Just eyeballing the length of both, I feel that each individual discography is long enough to maintain the singles/album split. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 00:21, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

History/split/move attribution?

As I mentioned before, there is no attribution between Lynn Anderson discography and Lynn Anderson albums discography. There is no move/split attribution for Lynn Anderson singles discography from Lynn Anderson discography. Lynn Anderson discography simply says it was split, but there is little history. Lynn Anderson singles discography does not say from where it is split. Lynn Anderson albums discography is a cut and paste move, which is not desirable. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:48, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

@Jax 0677:, please understand that @Anthony Appleyard: could only split one discography page. He could not do both. To my knowledge, Wikipedia does not appear to do that for multiple pages. He seemed to have followed all of the necessary protocol when fixing the page. Anyway, the history of the page has been moved so I am not understanding why there is still a problem here.
I wrote a request to fix the error on the Wikipedia:Requests for history merge and Anthony Appleyard responsed. I understand that I made an error by not using the "move feature" when I could have. Errors happen and I will be more mindful in the future. Again, you are not seeing the bigger picture behind splitting a lengthy discography page. @TenPoundHammer: would you like to add anything more? ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 03:13, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
  • @Jax 0677 and ChrisTofu11961: The English Wikipedia has one information note about each edit that users have made. If page X is text-split into pages Y and Z, by cut-and-paste, and someone calls for history-merge of X to Y and of X to Z, the information note about each edit of X can be moved to Y's edit history, or to Z's edit history, but not to both. Moving it to both would need the information note to be duplicated. That is called "cloning". Cloning can be done in the German Wikipedia, but not in the English Wikipedia. All that can be done is to put edit history information sections in the end of Talk:X and in the starts of Talk:Y and Talk:Z . Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:52, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
@Jax 0677: That's exactly what I thought. So, can we agree that these articles remain split? I do not see a reason to keep it as one whole document. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 18:21, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
Reply - Yes, they can remain split. However, there should be attribution in the edit summaries, even if you make a dummy edit in the future to document the split. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:54, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

The IP claimed to have information on a coronavirus vaccine but has no contributions other than at the Help Desk so I'm trying to figure out what the person was complaining about.

Request to remove restrictions from the page creation Nikhil Anand

Hello, I am writing to you as one of my old created page about Nikhil Anand has been banned on creating and can only be created by the Wikipedia administrators. It surprises me that the page was as a source of information as the person is a public figure and the chairman of several national and international beauty pageants. I also witnessed that someone deleted the pages of Miss multinational which is a major international pageant despite media coverage across the world.

It is requested to kindly remove the restrictions from the page Nikhil Anand so that I can create a better article with more reliable sources. I will be thankful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aayat1998 (talk • contribs) 03:45, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Histmerge of Reynoldston

The history of Reynoldston from 9 May 2020 to 31 May 2020 now contains interleaved edits from the original article and the copy that was made at Reynoldston, Swansea, so stepping through one edit at a time the diffs and edit summaries make very little sense. Is there anything that can be done to clean this up, or at least to mark those edits in some way so that it will be clear to future editors that they come from two different articles? --94.196.132.113 (talk) 09:38, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

We now seem to have lost the history altogether. The important history of the article is that prior to 10 January 2010, and this now seems to have been moved off to the title Reynoldston (version 2). The last good version was 17:41 10 January 2010, after which the article was replaced with a redirect to a subsection of another page. This is the version that I restored at 21:29 30 May 2020. In the mean time, on 9 May 2020, user Mattcymru2 created a duplicate article at Reynoldston, Swansea, apparently by copy-pasting that old 2010 version, but now we only have the history of that copy-paste version in the history of Reynoldston. Can you please restore the full history to Reynoldston? I'm not sure we really needed a histmerge at all, but user Crouch, Swale evidently thought so because I had copied a population figure that had been added to the copy back to the original. Hope this can be cleared up - thanks for your attention. --94.196.132.113 (talk) 13:29, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Request admins assistance on hasty decisions by user Gsfelipe94

@Anthony Appleyard: I like to seek admins assistance for possible deliberate interference with rm`s,afd, and merges on a specific user. There number of people are "heavily" monitoring the issue to keep it under control. Some of these rm/merges/delete should be extended longer for abrupt disruption. There was issue with a sport event names were it being cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19 Pandemic issue.

Repeatedly try to engage edit war after another if does not go his way. Regice2020 (talk) 19:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Let's easily do this here:
  1. "There no confusion here. User took it in own hand to remove afd from page." — Page had already been seen by an admin (here) who said it was declined. I mentioned to this user here that the page did not meet criteria. It is the correct page for the event that happened on May 30 and Regice2020 uses a different page as duplicate, despite not being the same event (which was fixed here, but then Regice2020 reverted it for no reason). I actually mentioned it here.
  2. "Hasty decision led to mistake"; " Went ahead on a confused direct move without community input." — Those issues were already solved on the talk page a long time ago and with no drama as Regice2020 does on his discussions. Just check the talk page to see it (but that's clearly no major problem if you look at all discussions).
  3. "obvious canvassing on rm" — If that is canvassing, this would be too then? Not to mention other topics on the same page where people were replied to as well. If I went to every user talk page and told them, then maybe you could try to consider it canvassing. A simply reply to users more experienced than you (some you pinged back and some had different opinions than me in other subjects) does not classify as canvassing.
  4. "Went around a unresolved issue via RM to create a new page with the new name" — Already dealt with on the first topic above.
  5. "Repeatedly try to engage edit war after another if does not go his way." — I see no edit war in any of the pages. As a matter of fact, you've been on the opposite site of discussions all the time (yet you maintain the same behavior on every single page). Let's rank them below:
  6. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts — Two topics you created where most of all users disagreed and another one you participated that you were the only one with opposite thoughts.
  7. Talk:UFC Fight Night 176 — Another example of people disagreeing with you in an article that you took hostage (Prompted the creation of UFC 176 by another experienced user, but since it wasn't me who created that one, you apparently had no problem); Talk:UFC on ESPN: Overeem vs. Harris and Talk:UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Edwards are other examples.
  8. User_talk:Regice2020#merging_and_renaming_the_UFC_event — 15 days ago, Cassiopeia gave you some advice that were already giving on the discussions. Yet you kept doing everything different after he said it.
  9. If you look at Cassiopeia's talk page, there's other examples: the UFC 249 situation; the first topic on this archive.
That's all I can remember now, but there could be more detailed things if I wanted to (not worth it though). Gsfelipe94 (talk) 19:54, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
For whatever reason, You were recommended to seek community input before doing such actions like direct page creation, direct merges and direct moves. You did not which forces number of editors to heavily monitor the a simple naming issue on UFC Events pages. This recommendation was after editors used energy to find a solution (for ufc 249/250 page) the one you moved without input. Regice2020 (talk) 20:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
@Gsfelipe94: Whatever you say Dr Gsfelipe94. I will wait for Admin to give a solution. No further comment. Regice2020 (talk) 20:21, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
@Anthony Appleyard: I going make this simple. Although not required. Gsfelipe94 been repeatedly moving pages without discussion, merging without discussion, and creating fork pages around the unresolved rm. If someone would make a RM, he would try to do canvassing and spam pings to alter outcome. Always try to throw rocks at anyone that opposes him even if i am not here. A solution is needed. Regice2020 (talk) 01:43, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
The things you say are completely inaccurate. First time you did it here, I pretty much proved everything else opposite. And again here you are. You're the one actually doing the things you say I do. Stop disrupting things, dude. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 02:08, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
  • @Gsfelipe94 and Regice2020: Special:Contributions/Regice2020, User talk:Regice2020 If (as I assume), the above discussion is only between Gsfelipe94 and Regice2020, it would be useful for you two to list here the names of those Wikipedia articles which become topics of the above disagreements. Then we may get them settled by RM (discussed requested moves) or AfD (ask for delete); or to list here those specific details of wording which opinions differ over. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:17, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
It is a discussion within the mixed martial arts community, but Regice2020 decided to take it personal as I oppose his non-consensus attitude. He clearly came here trying to find a way to "stop" me. All pages have discussions in which he says the opposite of the other editors, but he does not listen to everyone's advise. I just came here to show facts instead of empty words.

French railway stations renaming

I see that that, following an untrue suggestion that I made a page move without discussion, you have moved my request to "a talk page" without specifying where. So where is it? And why not ask me to comment on this false allegation before rejecting my request? And why not notify me what you've done? Colonies Chris (talk) 08:40, 3 June 2020 (UTC)?

Just to be clear, the page given as an example (Gare de Verneuil-sur-Avre) is one I renamed on 10 May, whereas the discussion had concluded amicably several weeks earlier on 22 March. How is this a move without discussion? And then User:Captain scarlet comes along a few days ago, unilaterally reverts the agreed changes (which several editors had combined to make, not just me), and you just allow his undiscussed moves to remain in place? 08:56, 3 June 2020 (UTC)Colonies Chris (talk)
Why move it to the talk page of just one of the stations involved? If you feel there should be more discussion, I suggest you move it to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/France and French-related articles, where the original discussion took place. Colonies Chris (talk) 09:01, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

The text for this barnstar refers to a particularly difficult decision or "a tedious, but needed admin task". This is for the latter, for the tedious but needed admin task of history merge, many, many history merges, because many good-faith editors don't know not to copy-paste drafts into article space.

Hey, Anthony Appleyard!

Not sure why you deleted this; it was listed as a G6 but there is (or was) no corresponding page to move. I've restored the page and removed the DB template. Primefac (talk) 14:50, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

  • @Primefac: At 12:10, 9 June 2020 User:Eumat114 tagged Draft:Ayoub El Omary for speedy deletion (CSD G11), and at 14:21, 10 June 2020, User:Liz re-deleted it as (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:23, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
    So? I'm asking why you deleted it under an invalid criteria. The fact that it was then deleted a day later under a valid criteria is rather immaterial. Primefac (talk) 21:12, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
  • This is its history. There seems to have been a dispute among several people. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

      • It was clearly CV / advertisement.Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:29, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
        • Are you intentionally not answering my question or do you genuinely not understand it? You deleted the page as a Copy/paste pagemove so that the original page could be moved, but there was no "original page". The fact that the page was deleted two days after I asked you about this deletion is entirely irrelevant. Primefac (talk) 00:06, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
          I tagged it for G11 in response to similar promo as mentioned in WP:ANI; there used to be a user page with very similar content, but it was U5'ed before a cut-and-paste move could be fixed. The situation was a huge mess at that time. It would help to check out the deletion log/page history of the corresponding user page. What I saw was the following:
          • 12:42, 8 June 2020 Fastily deleted page User:Ayoube el omary (U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host)
          • 10:58, 8 June 2020 'Ayoube el omary created page User:Ayoube el omary (←Created page with '...')

            so @Primefac: there must have been an "original page" (as AA understood it): the User:Ayoube el omary page. I kind of understand the G6 rationale: that Draft:Ayoub El Omary must have been a cut-and-paste move from the user page. For attribution purposes, if anything, this could be a valid reason even though the user page was not suitable for Wikipedia. Eumat114 formerly TLOM (Message) 01:17, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
    • @Eumat114 and Primefac: As explained here. Thanks. (Note: I am in England, and my waking / sleeping / daily activity hours are accordingly.) I am sorry if I have caused any problems. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Move FileMaker (version 2) to FileMaker Inc.

The history of FileMaker (version 2) says that there was a move from FileMaker Inc.. You should therefore do the following:

You have several recent incorrect moves:

Please revert all of the above moves, all without leaving redirects behind.

Shadab Kamal

I have restored an article you deleted, Shadab Kamal. I had previously declined the speedy deletion of the article for the exact same reason. I stated in my edit summary when I declined it that there was enough to survive WP:A7. He has a lead role in two different movies that we have articles on. I believe that is more than enough to show significance. ~ GB fan 09:51, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Page move

Can you move The Cuphead Show! (TV series) to The Cuphead Show!. The redirect is currently unnecessary for this title. Cardei012597 (talk) 21:47, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Ok, its done. The move was successful. Cardei012597 (talk) 21:59, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing Major film studios

Just noticed you approved the requested move. Much appreciated. Thank you! --Coolcaesar (talk) 23:42, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Restore or explain deletion of the redirect List of Lakes in Ukraine

Hi I noticed you deleted a redirect to a section on List of Lakes. Would you explain why you deleted the List of Lakes in Ukraine redirect which is a variant of List of Lakes of Ukraine which both should direct to List_of_lakes#Ukraine. You cite G8, but that states "Redirects to non-existent targets". Did I have a typo in my redirect or had the main redirect not been created yet? This is following the redirect of of the frequent search variant of "of" for natural vs "in" man-made per WP:Lakes. These are being set per list with potential page which are being staged for further development of the lake lists per country and are compliant with redirects to sections of the relevant content.

Produce Camp 2020 article

Hi, why in the world are you still deleting Produce Camp 2020? Please explain, because the article is very notable now, it might not be notable during April, but now since it has been airing, the article should be created, please refer to Produce Camp 2019. Sources are there, style are there. I don't see the reason to keep deleting and placeing other users' handwork in the draft space forever while the draft itself might never be approved. Please create back the article and redirect the draft to there. Thank you so much. --Cheers, User:LoveFromBJM Talk 26 June 2020

AfD closes

Hi! I noticed that your AfD closes leave the section header above the {{subst:Afd top|'''result'''}}. ~~~~. The usual practice is to put the template above the header instead. There's also a gadget, XFDcloser that will let you close XfDs without manually getting and pasting the templates or typing them out. (I'm told that it will also automatically delete the pages at the same time if that's the close you select) Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:09, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Sady Doyle

Hi! Would you mind moving the content that had been at Sady Doyle to draftspace? It had quite a few sources (including ones published subsequent to the AfD), so I think it's probably a situation like Clarice Phelps (...if I could call to mind a less controversial example, I would, LOL), where workshopping it and looking or waiting for more sources (without requiring someone who finds them to start from scratch) is better than entirely tossing what was there. (I'm tempted to submit a "A f un-D"—whatever those are called—to see who thinks the current level of sourcing met GNG, but I think draftifying is the more conservative option.) :) -sche (talk) 17:02, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

revert back speedy deletion

My understanding was that copyright violations should not be restored on request. Am I mistaken in thinking that? Cordless Larry (talk) 11:42, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Usually, when a significant proportion of the text is a copyright violation, it's easier to start again and write the article from scratch. An alternative might be to provide the text by e-mail, on the strict understanding that the copyright material must not be re-posted to Wikipedia. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:19, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
