The section "Impact" is not balanced or neutral. You can't create a lengthy section relying on only one single source. The source used (the CoE) is also biased itself towards the court (obviously). A source being biased is not in and of itself a problem (few sources are actually neutral), but for balance other sources must be added too. 123username (talk) 06:54, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Why just leave empty sections?
Is that helpful somehow? Instead of having actual information? People should be forced look at another article to get information which the title of this page describes they should get?★Trekker (talk) 22:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Image question
As a prolific image reviewer at FAC, I figured you might have some insight. I'm wanting to take a picture of this page in this 1950 publication.

Raid on Gaborone article
You reverted the article back to it's previous, obviously politically biased state, which referred to South Africans leaving the country to escape Apartheid persecution as "terrorists". Due to your actions the article now again uses badly sourced and biased material to spin a narrative that tries to glorify and justify this act of terror against the sovereign nation of Botswana, an act of terror by the Apartheid government which prompted a swift diplomatic response by the United States, the United Kingdom, many other countries and the United Nations. Please refrain from further disruptive edits in favour of extremist narratives! HartaMarta (talk) 08:05, 6 September 2020 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on White Genocide (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your GA nomination of Polish Stonewall
The article Polish Stonewall you nominated as a good article has failed

The disambiguation bot is faulty
Hi Buidhe. I see that you are using some king of bot or code that removes wikilinks leading to disamb. pages. Please reconsider. It is allowed on Wiki to set in such links, because they do contain information (mainly by explaining the term in the lead, but not only). If your bot does automatically remove the link, it takes something away from the Wiki user, which goes against the very reason why we have Wiki. Also, some disambig. page does evolve into a proper article and then it's double right to have it linked. There is no downside, nothing to lose. I am careful about where I'm using such links, and Wiki sends me emails when I do and I go back and double-check. But even if other editors don't do that, it should be checked case by case, the criterion always being: does it clarify a term or otherwise add useful info? If it does, the link is justified and should stay on.
Concrete case: please look here, where the link leads to nahala. The linking was intentional, as that page also explains the term and doesn't just disambiguate. Hebrew is not an internationally widely used language :)))

- Pigsonthewing, In the discussion, only one person explicitly called for deletion. You did not, and in your comment, you did not state any issue that would be addressed by deleting rather than redirecting the template. My understanding was that redirecting templates is generally preferred to deletion because that causes fewer problems when viewing older revisions of pages that previously transcluded the template.

- My nomination was for deletion and, I think, clearly so. Had I meant redirection, I would have said so; or simply redirected it. There were no people explicitly calling for redirection.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Rescuer (genocide), which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:46, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Would be appreciated if it can be moved back to being an regular article. Thanks! David Isaac C. M. (talk) 00:48, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
Max Nather concerns
Hello,
I inherited http://wwi-cookup.com/ from a prior editor. I backed it up with another cite as can be seen. Should have deleted it at that time. Thanks for the heads up.
The Aerodrome has a bibliography, which by consensus makes a website reliable. We in the WWI aviation history community established that some years ago in a consensus. Also, some of the world's most published and greatest authorities on WWI aviation are behind the site--Greg VanWyngarden, for instance. These are the same historians that we cite when they publish in print. It makes no sense to say they are reliable in print, but not on the internet. Kinda reminiscent of the argument that paper encyclopedias are better than Wikipedia.
Now, off to zap http://wwi-cookup.com/.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:07, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
- Er, paper encyclopedias are often reliable sources according to WP:RS; whereas, Wikipedia is never considered a reliable source (WP:CIRCULAR). I will post this to WP:RSN for feedback from uninvolved editors. (t · c) buidhe 04:09, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
- I realize that, in my haste, I have been ambiguous. I am not plumping for WP as a self-referential source. And I realize that WP has to legally cover its butt by insisting that, overall, changes will happen. However, the concept that only print sources are grist for an internet encyclopedia goes against the flow of events. MSM is fading as Internet news picks up. Information storage is rising into the Cloud. WP is pretty unchanging except for growth; not much deletion going on.
- The Aerodrome website has a bibliography page buried deep within. Pain in the tail to find. Some biography pages in the site cite the source(s) at the foot--where the historians cite the very books I use when I can find them.
- Aerodrome forum as source is forbidden, of course.Georgejdorner (talk) 04:32, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Distinctive unit insignia concerns
Hi Buidhe, I noticed that your bot edited a portion of the U.S. Army Distinctive unit insignia page. Just a slight heads up that we keep the unit mottos on the insignia as unlinked as often they can get linked to a completely different meaning than what is actually meant by the U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry. The meaning of the mottos on the DUI's gets explained in the units page generally under the Crest sections and comes directly from the TIOH. Rukia8492 (talk) 15:38, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Buidhe,
Why are you moving so many articles out of this category? They've been added to this category over the years and doing an mass emptying is not appropriate. Liz Read! Talk! 01:00, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Swapping pages with talk pages
Looks like you got hit by the same pageswap bug that I've seen a few other times lately: if you do a pageswap of two pages where one has a talk page and the other doesn't, the redirect from moving the talk page will be improperly suppressed. I just created two missing redirects at Talk:September 1859 geomagnetic storm and Talk:September 1859 geomagnetic storm/Archive 1. Please keep this in mind for future pageswaps.

Request on 15:57:43, 4 October 2020 for assistance on AfC submission by Holcman1
Dear wiki controller,
Could you give me access to my page.
Single_particle_trajectories
The statement of copyright mentioned in your email is non-sense,
1-as I am the corresponding author and own the rights of my papers that you are quoting. Iam OK to give right to wikipedia.
2-I wrote the article by making substancial changes compared to the exiting review. I am not sure how this decision was made.
Thus I reject the statement of the email below. Best, David.
Holcman1 (talk) 15:57, 4 October 2020 (UTC)
- Holcman1, Hello, thanks for your contributions! Unfortunately, we have to confirm that you have the rights to the content in question. The easiest way to donate your text so that it can be used on Wikipedia is to add somewhere on the website a "The text of this paper is available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License and the GNU Free Documentation License." (This is the same free license that Wikipedia uses.)
- If that is not possible, there are other ways to do it; see WP:DONATETEXT.
- Once we have established that you have the rights to the text, please let me know and I will ask an administrator to undelete the page. (t · c) buidhe 21:27, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Regarding this article submission.
Hello. I probably should have clarified it somewhere, but the purpose of this submission is actually to allow us to move the corresponding section to a separate article, since it's already too long and its disproportionate length hinders addition of new material. So, should I resubmit it? -- Nicholas Velasquez (talk) 11:01, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
- Nicholas Velasquez, Ah, I see. I hadn't checked the size of the other article. I've now passed it. (t · c) buidhe 11:07, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Moved to draft
Your name appears in the page history of an article I created, stating you added the AfC box. The article has been moved to the Draft space; something that I have never heard of before, even though I have created 237 pages in Wikipedia. I did find, on the Wikipedia AfC page this sentence "The Articles for Creation (AfC) process is intended to assist editors who cannot (e.g. non-registered or non-autoconfirmed users)... create new articles directly into mainspace." But I am far from "non-regitered" and far from "non-autoconfirmed". I made my first edit in 2006 and I have 9,165 live edits. I have had the same user-name the entire time, and I was logged-in when I created the moved article. I am, to say the least, deeply puzzled as to why it was moved to Drafts. Since your name appears in the history, I hope you can explain why it was moved. I am assuming good faith, but believe some error was made. Nick Beeson (talk) 14:39, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
RM closure
Good morning, you closed this RM discussion upon a nomination by User:Johnbod very quickly, after only one oppose by User:Place Clichy. Could you please reopen the discussion in order to allow some more reactions? Marcocapelle (talk) 09:10, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Marcocapelle, Sure. I have been told by other experts that relisting RMs in general is discouraged. (t · c) buidhe 09:11, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks! I am also not too sure if relisting helps to get more reactions, but leaving a discussion open for a longer period because of too few initial reactions certainly doesn't harm. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:16, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
Víctor Pérez (footballer)
When you moved this page you did not move across the talk page... GiantSnowman 10:46, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- GiantSnowman, In fact I did, please see the history of Talk:Víctor Pérez (footballer). (t · c) buidhe 10:56, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- no, because Talk:Víctor Pérez Alonso is a standalone talk page, given that Víctor Pérez Alonso redirects to Víctor Pérez (footballer)....so Talk:Víctor Pérez Alonso should be a redirect to Talk:Víctor Pérez (footballer) and not standalone. GiantSnowman 11:23, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Extended confirmed user - can I start articles direct?
Hello:
You recently contacted me about my translation from the German Wiki on Martin Dibobe. This now appears in the English Wiki and I am pleased about that. I believe that I am now an 'Extended Confirmed User'.
I have new article, this time from the Italian Wiki but with a lot of new information, all of which is cited. It is still in draft form and I will finish it within a day or two.
My question is this: will it have to stay in Draft form until I have submitted it for approval? Or can I just go ahead and put it up onto the English Wiki off my own bat, given that I am an 'Extended Confirmed User'?
Thanks for your advice and help.
--Mikeo1938 (talk) 13:12, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
