Warcraft

What move or other action do you want done that the redirect is blocking? and where has it been discussed? DES ^(talk) 01:33, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The redirect (Warcraft) leads to Warcraft (series), where saying “"Warcraft" redirects here. For the first game in the series, see Warcraft: Orcs & Humans.” There are no disambiguation pages, and the redirect still leads to Warcraft (series). Therefore, the optimal solution in this case—renaming, Warcraft (series) → Warcraft, where extra brackets will be removed. --Russian Rocky (talk) 01:55, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

You may well be right that that would be optimal -- your argument makes some sense. However, this is a major page with lots of incoming links. I urge you to discuss the move on Talk:Warcraft (series) first, and make sure that it has consensus or at least no significant opposition. DES ^(talk) 02:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The Naming conventions (WP:PRECISION) saying: "Remember that concise titles are generally preferred." Definitions in brackets are used in the case of ambiguity, but there no disambiguation pages, and no pages with the same title. I did not understand what you mean, talking about incoming links. It is deletion for renaming, therefore "Warcraft (series)" will be a redirect to the article of series, instead the redirect "Warcraft". DES, I would not want to make a discussion for such obvious renaming, because it will take a lot of my time, along with all these checkings and replies at the discussion page. If you believe, that the deletion request for renaming was not constructive, just revert my edit. I will not argue.--Russian Rocky (talk) 03:35, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it was unconstructive, and your citation of the naming conventions is quite correct. But I do think that renaming major pages without any discussion is generally a mistake, and I won't do the delete and move in such a case. I will start the discussion myself, and we'll see where it goes. DES ^(talk) 16:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Well I see another admin did the delete and move. I won't pursue the matter further. DES ^(talk) 16:39, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

November 2013

I reverted your edit on Anatoly Wasserman. First, what you reverted was not vandalism. You may want to read WP:VANDALISM to learn what vandalism is. Second, the pieces you want to add indeed do have BLP issues. Please start discussion at the talk page of the article before adding them. Thank you.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:01, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

You have deleted a lot of information provided by the Russian language sources. Also, I have no time to discuss with another wikipedia bureaucrat (who actually knows Russian) about "what vandalism is". Bye, keep it as it is. Russian Rocky (talk) 16:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
