== Thank you ==

Good morning Unscintillating, thanks for the assistance on the Palm Island Tragedy article yesterday, unfortunately I couldn't get to it yesterday to add in more content, the structure you have created will assist greatly. [[User:WikiTownsvillian |<span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:#454545;">Wiki</span>]][[User talk:WikiTownsvillian|Townsvillia]][[Special:Contributions/WikiTownsvillian|n]] 22:37, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

== Great Palm Island, Queensland ==

Hello. Great Palm Island is officially an island, not a locality like Palm Island so dab (, Queensland) not needed [http://www.ga.gov.au see here]. I attempted a move to Great Palm Island which failed, so will file a non-controversial move request in a while. Just letting you know why.

== 2006 Handbag Controversy ==

Hi Unscintillating. You are doing a good job fixing up the [[  2006 rugby union handbag controversy|article]]. However, my major concern is that its notability is not enduring enough (Number #4 in [[WP:INDISCRIMINATE]]). If you can demonstrate that it is still relevant now (maybe with some more recent refs) I feel your efforts would be more successful in saving the article.

== [[Micha Cárdenas]] ==

Hi. I see you are doing your best to source [[Katherine Sweetman]].  Personally still think she is not notable but I see I should have put more evidence in my initial argument.  What was obvious to me wasn't to other people, I see. 

I want to put up Sweetman's frequent collaborator Micha Cárdenas' article up for deletion as well.  The article has the same problems Sweetman's does in terms of sourcing (more self written blogs and press releases vs actual discussions of the subject) and NPOV talk (which is not surprising as the article was mostly written by Cardenas herself. It has been up for deletion before, but the consensus was weak and none of the problems of the article have been fixed over the previous year.

But, before putting it up for deletion I thought I'd tell you and give you a chance to source it and bring it around to a more NPOV perspective, if you wish [[User:XinJeisan|XinJeisan]] ([[User talk:XinJeisan|talk]]) 01:56, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

==Talkback==

== re [[:File:TaquanAirLogo.jpg]] ==

You're all set, file is here: [[:File:TaquanAirLogo.jpg]]. It is OK to use in the article. It would be best if it is put in the infobox only. The warning on the Russian image was just basically that it wasn't ''necessarily'' usable by any other project, depending on their rules, but our rules allow non-free fair use images for logos.

== unclear comment (to me at least) in AfD ==

Hi,
Could you clarify your comment [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Boroka_%282nd_nomination%29#Boroka here]?  I'm not sure what links you are seeing that are dead. [[User:Hobit|Hobit]] ([[User talk:Hobit|talk]]) 03:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
*Ah, never mind.  I only glanced at the pages and noticed that they had no significant coverage.  I'd not realized that I was redirected away on two of them.  Certainly my error. [[User:Hobit|Hobit]] ([[User talk:Hobit|talk]]) 03:25, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

== [[Cape Smythe Air]] ==

I would suggest you review Wikipedia's definition of a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] if you are going to do this sort of work. I've had to remove two really lousy sources added by you from this article. See the talk page for details. I would classify what you are doing as classic [[WP:PUFF|puffery]] in that several of the sources you have used are commercial or promotional websites and consist of outdated or just plain wrong information. You don't even seem to have noticed the obviously incorrect data from this  [http://www.manta.com/c/mmjrkv2/cape-smythe-air-service-inc] ref, which lists the year they ceased to exist as the year they were first incorporated. Please be more careful when adding references in the future. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 21:36, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
:[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] '''Please stop'''. I've just removed another <s>two</s>''four''  junk references added by you. Please take the time to review the reliable sources policy as indicated in my previous message. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 22:15, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
::For the sake of clarity I feel I should point something out to you. Even if the sources you have been adding did meet the definition of a reliable source, the only coverage contained in the majority of them is directory-style information. That can address problems with [[WP:V|verification]] but it has no impact on [[WP:N|notability]], which is the reason for the deletion nomination. I suppose you must have been encouraged by the result of the Taquan Air AFD, but in that case you were able to find at least a few actual reliable sources that discussed the company in detail. That is obviously not the case here. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 22:45, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

== [[WP:ALUMNI]]. ==

[[WP:ALUMNI]] says:
<blockquote>
Alumni to be included should meet Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Bio#Basic criteria|notability criteria]], and must  be [[WP:V|verifiable]]; a biography page in Wikipedia that does not provide a source cannot be used as a reference.</blockquote>

[[User:HHaeyyn89|HHaeyyn89]] ([[User talk:HHaeyyn89|talk]]) 06:11, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

== Notability guidelines ==

Just so you know, notability guidelines are guidelines which describe the sort of subject that is likely to have sufficient reliable independent sources to write a policy compliant article. Without sources something can satisfy every single checkbox in a guideline and still qualify for deletion. NPOV and V are canonical policy, the [[WP:GNG]] descends from them. <b>[[User Talk:JzG|Guy]]</b> <small>([[User:JzG/help|Help!]])</small> 06:39, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

=== &nbsp; &nbsp; notability guidelines and deletion policy vs. content policies ===
I'm guessing that you are responding to my comment [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Proposal_to_require_autoconfirmed_status_in_order_to_create_articles&diff=prev&oldid=429814950 here], where I asserted that two sources are needed to satisfy content policy.

[[WP:Deletion policy#Reasons for deletion]] lists,
*Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)

And as per the name, deletion policy is policy.&nbsp; I believe that the only requirement in WP:N is that a topic be "worthy of notice".

I don't know what you mean by "canonical policy", and I've never heard of WP:NPOV being considered as related to the notability guidelines.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 17:19, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

== Slammiversary_IX ==

Re. [[Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Slammiversary_IX]], {{la|Slammiversary_IX}}, (and you saying you'd removed stuff),

See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/w/index.php?diff=431567715&oldid=431566702]

This is the sort of problem constantly faced over these articles. <small><span style="border:1px solid;background:#00008B">[[User:Chzz|'''<span style="background:#00008B;color:white">&nbsp;Chzz&nbsp;</span>''']][[User talk:Chzz|<span style="color:#00008B;background-color:yellow;">&nbsp;►&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 00:03, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
:Personally, I think future events and breaking news reports should be incubated, but as long as I'm the only one saying that, it is just one person's opinion.

:Somewhere recently I read that [[2012 Summer Olympics]] is defined as an acceptable encyclopedic topic.&nbsp; [[Colombia at the 2012 Summer Olympics]] and many similar national articles allow you to check on a daily basis to see the latest medal totals for Colombia at the 2012 Summer Olympics.&nbsp; As long as this is the attitude about future events, it becomes hard to know where to draw the line.&nbsp; Personally, I wouldn't allow [[2012 Summer Olympics]].&nbsp; I think this would lead to more accurate and enduring titles and articles, such as [[Preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics]].&nbsp; 

:As for Slammiversary_IX, I don't currently see that creating [[Preparation for Slammiversary_IX]] would improve anything, because it would still be [[WP:PROMOTION]].&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 01:17, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
::My own attitude is extremely simple: "does <thing> have 'significant coverage in independent reliable sources' ?" [[WP:VRS]] Which, in effect, means: show me 3 newspaper articles '''about''' it (or equiv RS) - if so, great, we can have an article. If not - I don't care if it's in the 'incubator', or a user subpage, or an 'article for creation' page, or whatever.
::The ''only'' exception being [[WP:BIO1E]].
::I don't really care about [[WP:BAND]], [[WP:CORP]], [[WP:PORNBIO]], etc - those are guidelines, which might help users work out what is needed but...it doesn't matter. Is it 'notable' or not? That's my only question, always. <small><span style="border:1px solid;background:#00008B">[[User:Chzz|'''<span style="background:#00008B;color:white">&nbsp;Chzz&nbsp;</span>''']][[User talk:Chzz|<span style="color:#00008B;background-color:yellow;">&nbsp;►&nbsp;</span>]]</span></small> 07:49, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

== [[Southern Border region]] ==

Hello, Unscintillating! I see that you just created an article [[Southern Border region]], about the counties of San Diego and Imperial. You need to be aware that the "southern border region" of California has quite a history here at Wikipedia. There is an existing article called [[San Diego–Imperial (California)]] which covers the exact same territory; in fact it began life as an article called [[Southern Border]] - later changed to [[Southern Border (California)]] and then to [[San Diego–Imperial (California)]]. That article is currently [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/San Diego–Imperial (California)|nominated for deletion]], having survived an earlier [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southern Border (California)|deletion discussion]] as no consensus. 

I have favored deletion in the past because the term has no general use; it is just a designation used by the state of California for economic analysis. Your new article is so well developed it almost persuades me to want to keep it. But in any case there needs to be some kind of reconciling of these duplicative articles. For one thing, the new article if kept should be renamed to [[Southern Border (California)]] since there are many other states and countries that have a southern border region. 

Take a look at the other article(s) and see what you think. And before you create any more articles about these nine "regions", check to see if current articles exist - because I think many do. Thanks. --[[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 06:38, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

==Mediation around Abortion articles location==

After the latest [[Talk:Abortion-rights_movement#Move.3F|move request]] has landed up with about equal numbers for both sides I've started a [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2011-06-22/Abortion-rights movement|mediation request]].

== Completely new abortion proposal and mediation==

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ([[Pro-life movement|pro-life/anti-abortion movement]], and [[Abortion-rights movement|pro-choice/abortion rights movement]]) to '''''completely''''' new names. The idea, which is located '''[[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2011-06-22/Abortion-rights movement|here]]''', is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles [[Talk:Abortion-rights movement|here]] and [[Talk:Pro-life movement|here]] can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content.  Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter.  '''Even if your opinion is simple ''indifference''''', that opinion would be valuable to have posted. 

To avoid accusations that this posting violates [[WP:CANVASS]], this posting is being made to '''every''' non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page.

== Your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gargoyle Router Firmware ==

I'm not speaking to you as an administrator, as I'm [[WP:INVOLVED|tangentially involved]] having closed the first AfD, but as a fellow editor in what is meant to be [[WP:CIV|a collegial and co-operative environment.]]  To say ''an editor described above as "showing up at most articles tagged for Rescue and finding a reason to say delete"'' is totally out of line.  So incredibly far out of line that I'm surprised I'm first here to have a word with you about it.  Please try to comment on the edits, not the editor, if for no other reason than that the person who ends up looking bad here... well, it's not Hrafn. - [[User:Aaron Brenneman|Aaron Brenneman]] ([[User talk:Aaron Brenneman|talk]]) 11:20, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
:"Tangentially involved"?&nbsp; I reduced one of the points of logic of the previous respondent (PR) at the DRV discussion using the force of reason, where I stated in summary, "IMO, this is not coherent analysis".&nbsp; This logic was the last statement at the DRV, and stood for three days without refutation until the DRV closed.&nbsp; For three days the PR could have engaged in a "collegial and co-operative" debate.&nbsp; Is this posting PR's demonstration-by-example of a "collegial and co-operative environment", using phrases like "totally out of line"?&nbsp; The part of my opinion that recommended that PR's closing be reverted was enacted by the closure of the DRV.&nbsp; The editor in question edited comments the PR had made and made a posting that appeared to be a delete vote in PR's name.&nbsp; I found this to be an improper tactic and drew attention to the tactic.&nbsp; So the posting here only comes after the PR could have corrected this improper tactic, and comes instead of the PR correcting the improper tactic.&nbsp; I don't think the PR is "tangentially involved."&nbsp; Yet other examples of escalation here are the intensifiers "incredibly" and "surprised".&nbsp; My advice to the PR is that the first step in solving a problem is to identify the problem.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 03:35, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

== Couple of questions/comments ==

I'm glad you're trying to keep a handle on things and I really want to be helpful in that.  I'm not sure if we share the same ideas on the approach to that, but other than you being a bit busy with changes, I feel like you're trying to do your best.

I was wondering if you could help me find the discussion about switching over to this First Sentence subpage, and where the group came to a decision that this was the best idea.  My impression of things at the moment is that several editors feel like they are being run roughshod over, and I'm not really sure if this is sour grapes, or if it might have been a rushed consensus, so I want to get a better background in order to continue and understand the existing situation better.

This seems like something we can all resolve, but at the moment it seems a bit messy. -- [[User:Avanu|Avanu]] ([[User talk:Avanu|talk]]) 04:36, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

:Yes, today was a big surprise; unfortunately, we as a group lack the skill to make decisions, so I must respect the bully editing that appears currently to be the only possible substitute.&nbsp; In some cases it doesn't matter so much what we agree to as that we agree period.&nbsp; For my part, I really thought that editors would agree to take a break, we've been talking about it for six months now, and you'd think that editors could find something else besides WP:V to do for 2 and 1/2 more weeks, but no, somehow, the fact that a few people want to take a break seems to be a vacuum for others to get more involved.&nbsp; So seeing the edit war today and the continuing pressure being applied to get the essay installed ASAP was discouraging.&nbsp; And I was not prepared to see Blueboar drop his position that had called for final decisions to be made on WT:V.&nbsp; But I did some 180's and moved the plans for 15 September forward in response.&nbsp; If you still want to find the discussion about creating the first page, wasn't that on the 17th of August that the page was created?&nbsp; The events then are in many ways a ditto of today, I'll avoid saying more...&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 05:12, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

== Discussion ==

My better judgement tells me I should just leave this be, but I feel like I have to at least try discussing this with you directly.

In the BRRD thread and also now on SmokeyJoe's page, it seems like you are insistent on believing that I reverted you just because of some desire for a 'showdown'. I've told you as clear and honestly as possible that that isn't how it is. I've told you, if I was mistaken, please correct me, and I've all but explicitly invited you to go ahead and re-make the changes, since my initial impression was slightly mistaken.  At this point, I'm not sure what else you want, since it was your brash actions that led me to think this was a consistent pattern. I'm new to that page, and the first thing I see upon taking a great interest in it are you and SlimVirgin essentially running the show.  She seems to have taken a vacation for now, and you've become a bit more relaxed with things, and so it seems like things are better.  So I made a mistake in jumping to a conclusion perhaps? I'm not sure what to believe. However, your attitude toward all of this just strikes me as very resentful or greatly irritated.  Meanwhile, I'm barely concerned, except I'd like to see a decent result get accomplished.  I don't even really have a "side" in the debate except that people should get a chance to really collaborate with each other. I love the existing wording and I'll probably love whatever idea wins out in the end. So how about everyone just a take a deep breath and relax about things and move on?  Maybe I did something that predisposed your attitude that I was something else, who knows?  But I'm being honest and direct, and hopefully showing you that things can work out. -- [[User:Avanu|Avanu]] ([[User talk:Avanu|talk]]) 12:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

When I asked "any" editor to revert me through the [[WP:BRD]] process, I hardly expected an edit summary such as yours. I'm not "disrupting" anything - you need to understand that. Your accusation is insulting, but I'm hardly going to make a big deal about it.

== Older use of Pandora Reef ==

I though you might want to know about this: 

"Pandora reef, 5 1/2 miles West of Fly islet, is a dangerous coral reef, nearly three-quarters of a mile long east and west, and a quarter of a mile broad.  On its eastern end is situated a cresent-shaped coral grit bank, 2 feet above high water; on the western point is a smaller bank about one foot above high water."

Hydrographic Dept pg 300]

== verifiability ==

Another editor reverted you. I just restored your edit.

My personal view is that an editor needs to have a certain amount of experience editing articles and collaborating with others before commenting on changes to policies.  But the issue is not that you have been editing here for some time (as you have).  Any editor has a right to comment on a talk page as long as it is relevant.  I assume that the revert was unintentional (I have made worse goofs) but no one should revert your comments on the talk page.

::A lot has changed between October 7 and now.  The tag was changed by editors other than myself.

Stop acting unilaterally in discussions that have nothing to do with the RfC talk page and start collaborating with your fellow editors.

To be clear, your false edit summary where you claimed "as per review at WT:Verifiability/First sentence/Procedural" indicates no such "review", only your continued insistence on a point that was only discussed by ''yourself'' without discussing the issue with the very editors who requested the tags in the first place.

"Redirect" at AfD is in essence a vote for deletion, with the title of the deleted page made into a redirect page. Your comment there that doing this is a Bold editorial move seems to me like a sure fire way to an ANI dramafest; I can't imagine somebody not squalling about blanking pages like that... AfD is the correct venue, methinks. Best, —Tim ////  [[User:Carrite|Carrite]] ([[User talk:Carrite|talk]]) 00:58, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
: The theory is that school district pages deal with the mentioned school, or that failing that the city pages have a subsection on "Education". Some may not. In those cases a Redirect is pretty nonsensical and a correct solution would be a "Merge."

== [[Talk:Anselm J. McLaurin]] ==

Your post at [[Talk:Anselm J. McLaurin]] was surprisingly aggressive, so I thought I would respond at your talk page. I'm happy to post further at the article talk page, but thought we should discuss the issue first.

''Did you not know when you posted whether you were going to remove it or truncate it? ''
I've reviewed hundreds of articles with contributions by [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|Richard Arthur Norton]], many of which use the quote parameter. In many cases, I have not made any changes, in some cases, I have removed the quote, in other cases, I have truncated it back to the material directly supporting the contention. I'm trying to post my rationale when I make a change, and crafted some standard wording to place on the talk page, partly to explain my edit, and partly to encourage readers to contribute to the discussion.

You said:
<blockquote>
just how did you weigh into the "consensus" the statement at WP:NFC, "...but totally removing the quote is IMO vandalism."
</blockquote>

To be honest, I missed it. You added it Christmas Eve. While I was editing then, I was rather pre-occupied with a mass template restoration. When I next looked at the discussion, I noted that RAN had weighed in, and as I was intensely interested in his comments, I focused on those, and did not <s>notice</s> <u>consider</u> the vandalism comment until you pointed it out. I reject the notion that good faith edits should be treated as vandalism.

At the time I wrote my quasi-templated message (25 December) I hadn't seen any significant dissent from the position of others that the quote parameter should be used sparingly. I realize your comment precedes that, but I didn't notice until

After I saw RAN's dissent, I stopped removing quotes, as I felt the need for a broader consensus, which is what spurred me to post [[Wikipedia_talk:Citing_sources#Use_of_quote_parameter_in_footnote_-_a_proposal_to_provide_better_guidance|here]] and notify you. I think when I scanned the names of people who contributed was the first time I saw your comment.
 
You said:
<blockquote>
What is your analysis of the statement at WP:NFC in relationship to this article's quote, "If an editor doesn't like the length of a quote, he/she should consider reducing its length..."?
</blockquote>

I've done that on occasion. and sometimes removed an entire quote, and sometimes left an entire quote. Which lead me to the position that I thought we needed more guidance. While I thought I could defend each of my decisions, I didn't have solid written guidance to lean on.

You said:
<blockquote>
Also, please note that the section here that your comment refers to as "a footnote" is called "References".
</blockquote>

Footnotes are commonly placed in a section called references. Sometimes called "notes". Practices vary.

You said:
<blockquote>
Editors have commented at WP:NFC about the benefit of protecting against dead links.
</blockquote>

Yes, I know, I brought up the issue myself (at [[WT:Citing sources]])  I won't speak for Moonriddengirl, but I predict she might respond "dead links are a legitimate concern, and we ought to take steps to mitigate the problem, but potential dead links are not a rationale for violating copyright rules." And if she doesn't say it, I did. (That said, I defer to her expertise, and if she says that quotes are a good way to combat link rot, I'll happily use them more often.--<font style="font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light ">[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#002868;padding:0 4px">SPhilbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;">(Talk)</span>]]</font> 18:42, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== Continuing our discussion ==

Hi Un.  I started a discussion about edit warring, abusing Twinkle, violating wp:v and wp:or, removing appropriate tags without proper reason, taunting, and incivility.  The issue you raise is one I'm happy to discuss.  But nothing you've said bears on or would excuse that behavior.

Only 2 of those 25 AFDs closed as Keeps. The remainder, I believe, were in accord with my nominations -- which indicated that I was open to deletion or redirect. I was in-consensus 92% of the time.  I hope that you do not mean to suggest that that is cause for hounding, coupled with the behavior detailed.

Of course there are differences between deletes and redirects.  In general, I've been open to both.  I think the difference slight.  In the case of a delete the reader does not go to the prior stand-alone article, but instead ... nowhere.  In the case of a redirect, they are (in the case of primary schools) generally redirected to a locale (such as a city) or a school board, that generally lists the name of the school.  The difference?  Minimal, IMHO.  That's the primary reason I have not generally objected to redirects; nor, however, have I objected to deletions.  At the project, some people think we should redirect everything possible ("redirects are cheap"), and would redirect all hundreds of thousands of school articles that we could redirect.  Others at the project don't see the value.

My view as to these primary articles is that I am open to either deletion or redirect.  I also recognize that while usually the consensus supports me, some editors disagree and believe that the articles should be kept.

I do know that if I only thought that a redirect was the answer, and if I thought that a redirect would be non-controversial, that I could if I chose boldly redirect the article.  But: a) I've also been open to deletion; and b) I recognize that some editors wish to have the ability to discuss keeping the article, and that bold redirects would hide the fact that I have rid the Project of the standalone article from those editors who would like to keep it but who only follow AfD and not the article itself.

If the community view were to be that all primary articles should be redirected, I would be happy to support that and help in that regard.  But -- while I've seen in practice is what you see at the current school AfDs, where there are tendencies but no uniformity of AfD closes or even within AfDs themselves -- ''see'' [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools]].  Most often this year they have closed as redirects, as with [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ang Mo Kio Primary School]].  Next most often this year I believe they have closed as deletes, as with [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colton Primary School]] and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/St. Luke's Primary School]] and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Denbigh Community Primary School]].  And sometimes they close as Keeps, as with [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kiangsu and Chekiang Primary School]].

I've in the past state my view that it would be good for us to streamline the process, and that I would be happy to support a notability guideline on schools that reflects consensus, whatever that consensus may be.  

Here is one thought -- if it is deemed appropriate, I would be happy if any of my AfDs were speedy closed as redirects by others who are certain that that is the correct result, dictated by current guidelines.  I don't see it necessarily, but since I am open to redirects I personally would have no problem with it.

Or -- as I said -- if that were the clear written consensus approach that should be taken by editors vis-a-vis such schools, I would be happy to follow that consensus.

Sometimes school AfDs do of course result in deletions, and sometimes in keep.  The common thread that I see is that the vast majority of the time, they result in the stand-alone article being stricken, though of course some of the time the consensus is to Keep. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] ([[User talk:Epeefleche|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Epeefleche|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

== re: Southern Border redirect ==

Sorry, but I don't remember what redirect you are talking about.  I agree that if content was moved, the prod must be reverted to restore the history tracability (and would be happy to help you with that).  And retargetting the deleted redirect to the new location would seem appropriate, though if there wasn't any history, it might be easier to simply recreate than to undelete and then retarget.  Unfortunately, since I don't remember the title, I can't do either one.  Let me know what you need.

== Mediation Cabal: Request for participation ==
[[Image:Wikipedia-Medcab.svg|50px|left]]
Dear Unscintillating: Hello. This is just to let you know that you've been mentioned in the following request at the [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal|Mediation Cabal]], which is a [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|Wikipedia dispute resolution]] initiative that resolves disputes by informal mediation. 

The request can be found at '''[[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability]]'''.

Just so you know, it is entirely your choice whether or not you participate. If you wish to do so, and we'll see what we can do about getting this sorted out. At MedCab we aim to help all involved parties reach a solution and hope you will join in this effort. 

If you have any questions relating to this or any other issue needing mediation, you can ask on the [[Wikipedia talk:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability|case talk page]], the [[WT:MEDCAB|MedCab talk page]], or you can ask the mediator, Mr. Stradivarius, at their [[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|talk page]]. [[User:MedcabBot|MedcabBot]] ([[User talk:MedcabBot|talk]]) 14:12, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

:Hello Unscintillating, I saw that you declined to accept the ground rules at the mediation. I'm sorry to hear that you won't be participating - I was hoping that I could have had your input. About removing the "truth" wording, I assure you that there are no preordained results of the mediation process. On the contrary, we will make a range of different drafts, and the one that is finally used will not be determined by us, but by a community-wide RfC. Also, based on my current perception of the feedback we got from the last RfC, it seems likely that at least one of the versions we draft won't include the "verifiability, not truth" wording, and that at least one of them ''will'' include it - this is the very issue this process is meant to resolve, after all. The "under discussion" tag is just a peripheral matter, and I actually don't care about it all that much. The clause in the ground rules that asks people to not edit the tag while mediation is going on is just to stop people from edit warring over it, and to get them to discuss the real issues in a way that is most likely to result in a lasting resolution. <p>If it's not too much trouble, I have a few questions I'd like to know the answer to. Are you intending to debate this issue on [[WT:V]] while the mediation is still in progress? And would you mind a draft going to RfC that you hadn't had any input on? And would it change your stance on participating in the mediation if the tag issue was handled in a different way? If you could answer these it would really help me decide on how to proceed. And just to make sure you know, if you change your mind before Thursday, you can always add yourself back in to the mediation. All the best — <b style="text-shadow:0.15em 0.15em 0.1em #555; color: #194D00; font-style: oblique; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♫]]</sup></b> 05:01, 3 March 2012 (UTC)</p>
::Thank you for caring enough about my viewpoint to visit my talk page.&nbsp; Here is point 4 of the ground rules:
::::*Finally, I ask that all the participants agree to leave the "under discussion" tag alone for the duration of this mediation. This means not adding it, removing it, altering it, or even discussing it. I intend to remove the tag until the RfC is live, keep it in for the duration of the RfC, and remove it again when the RfC is closed.
::You say, "I intend to remove the tag...when the RfC is closed."&nbsp; Yet above you say, "...I assure you that there are no preordained results of the mediation process."&nbsp; Which is it?&nbsp; Further, you say, "I intend to remove the tag until the RfC is live".&nbsp; Therefore, with the point being [[reductio ad absurdum]], the mediation is not a discussion?&nbsp; Saying above "...I actually don't care about it all that much" seems inconsistent with taking ownership of the tag before, during, and after the planned RfC.&nbsp; If the role of a bully-editor could have resolved this issue, we would not be where we are today.&nbsp; A reason for me to stay out of the mediation is to help out with restoring community consensus if you remove the "under discussion" tag, and if this happens we'll likely be required to discuss the matter at WT:V.&nbsp; I don't know how much more I'll be involved at WT:V or elsewhere.&nbsp; My concept for a new RfC is not that complicated, first move everything in WP:V about truth to a new content guideline.&nbsp; Then add a footnote to WP:V that mentions "VNT", because there are 1200 references on Wikipedia to such.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 00:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Ah, I think I see where the problem is here. It really is true that I don't care whether the tag is included in [[WP:V]] or not. To explain why, it might help for me to go back to how I heard about this dispute in the first place. I was aware of the larger VNT discussion before, of course, but the first time I really got to know about the tagging dispute in detail was at the recent thread at the dispute resolution noticeboard. My take on the issue was that editors had spent a lot of time debating the tag itself, but that the only way which this issue could be resolved for good would be to settle the underlying debate about the VNT wording. The mediation is aimed squarely at working towards resolving the wording issue; the only reason for including a clause about the tag at all is that the tagging dispute was the reason this came to mediation in the first place. I personally don't mind whether the tag is in or out, but as a mediator it felt appropriate to do ''something'' about it, just to stop people from talking about the tag and to get them focused on the main issues. Also, while in a sense I am "dictating" how the tag will be treated, my position is a compromise position; the tag is neither fully in, nor fully out. It also makes sense (to me) from the viewpoint of alerting uninvolved editors, as an RfC will be easier to participate in than the long and complex talk page discussion. If the mediation progresses to the point where I can remove the tag, then it would be under 0RR; if someone uninvolved in the mediation wants to revert me, then I will simply let them. The same would apply for putting the tag back in. <p>Finally, as this mediation is an attempt to get everyone to see past the tagging issue and concentrate on the real problem, it can only progress with the consent of all the main editors involved. If some editors wish to keep discussing the tag and the other parts of the policy but do not wish to participate in mediation - and yes, this includes you - then it is likely that the mediation won't go ahead at all. The structure that mediation would bring is not worth factionalising the discussion at [[WT:V]], in my opinion. There would be little point in creating a big RfC if it didn't truly reflect the opinions of all editors who have been involved in the discussion. I think that mediation would be the quickest and most pain-free way of getting thiis whole issue dealt with, but I can't force other editors to agree with me. It is completely up to you what you do. I hope this has answered your questions, but if there is anything else you would like to ask, I will do my best to answer. Best regards — <b style="text-shadow:0.15em 0.15em 0.1em #555; color: #194D00; font-style: oblique; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00">Mr. Stradivarius</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♫]]</sup></b> 06:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)</p>
::::I expect that there are too many people involved, and too much text, for you to be aware that I have had no part in the tag dispute.&nbsp; I was not even aware of the tag dispute until the MedcabBot posted on my page.&nbsp; The tag went in last Summer during a time when some of us had called for a brief Wikibreak from discussing the VNT/"First sentence" issues, so if anything, I was opposed to changes being made during the supposed Wikibreak.&nbsp; In fact, the Wikibreak seemed to create a vacuum that nature abhorred, and new editors arrived convinced that they could solve problem(s) with a few quick edits of WP:V, and a flurry of edits resulted.

::::I don't need to read about the tag dispute to believe that removing the tag has the purpose of hiding a state of non-consensus.&nbsp; This is not a new problem, much of last Summer was spent with  complaints about discussion, people saying that since the April and June RfCs had resulted in a 50/50 split, that "no-consensus" had been achieved, and it was time to move on.&nbsp; This is contrary to WP:Consensus, which calls for discussion.&nbsp; I think you correctly ascertain that the tag is not the source of the problem.&nbsp; I'd suggest that you return the tag dispute to DRN, and proceed with the Mediation Cabal without point 4.&nbsp; An alternative is that since I have not been keeping up with the WT:V page, I am not one of the "main" participants.&nbsp; 

::::As to your intended use of the "under discussion" tag, I'd suggest finding or creating an "RfC" tag.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 20:11, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

:::::Just to let you know that I've struck the second sentence in ground rule number four. There's still no obligation for you to get involved in the mediation now that this has been done, but if you do want to participate then you would be very welcome.

== WP:V mediation compromise drafts ==

Hello Unscintillating, this is just to let you know that to help find compromise drafts at the [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability mediation]], I would like each mediation participant to submit at least one draft at one work group that includes the best of all the previously submitted drafts of that work group. This will probably make more sense if you look at [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Compromise drafts|this section]] on the mediation page, but if anything is still unclear, just let me know.

Hello Unscintillating, this is another update about the [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability mediation]]. We have now started [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Step five|step five]], in which we will work towards deciding a final draft for each work group. I would like you to submit a statement about this - have a look at the [[Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/27 February 2012/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Step five|mediation page]] to see the details of what you should include. The deadline for this step is 10.00 am on Friday 6th April (UTC), and unlike the other steps I am going to be strict about it. If you don't leave a statement by the deadline, then you won't be able to participate in steps six or seven. If you think you are going to be late turning in your statement, please let me know as soon as possible - I can't promise anything, but it will be much easier to work out alternative arrangements now than it would be after the deadline has passed.

== hello Unscintillating ==

in regards to participating in and closing, while it appears a conflict, anyone is able to reopen, or as the case often is, add more to the bottom of the thread outside the box which upsets less people, that often happens. However, when all dynamics have been clearly examined and the discussion has reached an appropriate place, a closure can be effected by anyone in certain discussions, I haven't done many, and I am new and inexperienced at it, but computing interactions between other editors is second nature to me, unfortunately, I can also see that wikipedia is inevitably screwed completely as the logical conclusion to it's current nature. Shrug. Anyhow there are a few at ANI I have tied up, Jaguar's was quite large and recent, and there was thanks for it in email too.

#From the 2006-12-23 version of WP:N wherein a diff added a dictionary definition of "notability", "This requirement ensures that there exists enough source material to write a [[Wikipedia:V|verifiable]] encyclopedia article about the topic."
#In my reply at [[WT:Notability (people)]] I had drawn attention to a point of agreement between us, and one that would specifically lead to mentioning in a notability guideline that insufficient WP:V sources can be a reason for deleting an article, even when the topic passes one of our notability guidelines.&nbsp; Instead of picking up on this point of agreement, your response in the reverts at WP:N and WP:ORG targeted two of the supporting quotes in the body of my reply.
#Your WP:N revert removed a point that has been in the guideline since December 2006, so symbolically, it suggests a return to 2006.&nbsp;

== Re: [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leslie Daigle (2nd nomination)]] ==

I think I need to explain my comment better. 1) no competition for primary topic, so presumably anyone searching would be searching for her. 2) unelected candidates rarely warrant stand-alone articles, and I saw nothing to convince me otherwise. 3) we have an article whose notability is without question, where she is mentioned. 4) until the election, a redirect is warranted so that readers get there. 5) If she wins the election, automatic notability could restore a stub article. 6) Until notability is established, guidelines change, or another Leslie Daigle deserves primary topic, a redirect functions long term. 

I consistently suggest redirect for unelected politicians regardless of location or party, although presidential nominees of other parties, and nominees where presumptively elected or unopposed warrant discussion. [[User:Dru of Id|Dru of Id]] ([[User talk:Dru of Id|talk]]) 06:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing DBig's reply to my request at their talk page.

FWIW I don't look for, or want, formal apologies, as when individuals feel forced to offer one, it is my experience they are likely to harbor dark thoughts and wait for an opportunity to turn the tables or otherwise retaliate.

== [[Temenos Academy]] ==

Hi, concerning [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Temenos_Academy&curid=8905037&diff=501489845&oldid=501377850 this edit], isn't that the same precursor publication as mentioned in ''[[Temenos Academy Review]]''? The editors and start year are the same (or almost so: 1981 instead of 1980), or am I mistaken and is this yet another publication?

In addition, I think that either the two articles should be merged or, preferably, some content moved from one to the other. Given that there is an article on the academy, I don't think that much discussion on the academy in the article on the review is warranted. Any sourced material should be moved to the academy article.

About CS Lewis: when I enter the ISBN into [http://diberri.crabdance.com/cgi-bin/templatefiller/ Diberri's templatefiller], I get: <nowiki>{{cite book |author=Hooper, Walter |title=The collected letters of C. S. Lewis |publisher=HarperSanFrancisco |location=[San Francisco] |year=2004 |pages= |isbn=0-06-081922-7 |oclc= |doi= |accessdate=}}</nowiki>. That sounds more logical to me than putting Lewis as the author. As I understand it, this is a book written by Hooper about the letters written by Lewis (obviously containing a fair number or even all of them). As a matter of curiosity, how did you get the quote? I don't see a way in GBooks to search inside the book.

A final thing is the use of the word "journal". We usually reserve this for periodicals that are [[peer reviewed]], but I see no indication that this is the case here. I'm not sure why you would object to "magazine" (that's not a pejorative term at all), but perhaps we could compromise on "publication" and/or "periodical"?  --[[User:Guillaume2303|Guillaume2303]] ([[User talk:Guillaume2303|talk]]) 05:52, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

:Point 1, I have seen no evidence that a ''Temenos Review'' existed, this is what WP:V is about, which is having reliable material; so I'm not seeing how giving readers an unambiguously bad Wikilink is better than letting them click on the See also and use their own devices to connect the parts.&nbsp; The issue of 1980 vs. 1981 is interesting, both the Academy and the Berry book give 1980, but the libraries and other sources say 1981.&nbsp; Also, 13 annual issues with the last in 1992 would work better as starting in 1980.&nbsp; Just in general, the Temenos Academy article is not well sourced, and it is hard to touch it without getting involved in additional issues. 

:As for coverage of the academy in the Review article, there are two to two and a half sentences dedicated to the Academy, and the reason those two sentences are there is to give some flavor to what the Review is about.&nbsp; Yes, the sources I've found would be useful in the Academy article, and maybe some other articles.&nbsp; 

:As for the CS Lewis book, I don't know why you are having a problem, when I click on the citation, page 1706 opens up, and I can click the arrow and see the rest of the bio of Raine on page 1705.&nbsp; I don't actually know who wrote the bio, I skimmed twenty reviews without finding any mention of bios in the book, just one brief mention that Hooper had added relevant info to support the letters.&nbsp; The date you've found of 2004 tells me that one of the two ISBNs is wrong, the book I've cited is 2007 and the third of a three-volume set, I use reftag.appspot.com.

:As for the word "journal", I've already cited sources, four sources mention "journal".&nbsp; It is an academically oriented publication originally intended to be at the "highest level of scholarship and talent".&nbsp; THE calls it a "collection of essays" in the article, but also categorizes it with "Social science & humanities journals".&nbsp; And the school themselves repeatedly self-describe the material as a "journal"; although in general, the sources avoid such categorizing.&nbsp; And as for your argument as to what "we" do, an in-house language that Wikipedians use sounds like WP:OR.&nbsp; I believe that on Wikipedia, we follow the sources.&nbsp; Regards, [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 07:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
::Strange, if I click the link, I don't get any page, just the book cover. The publication year in WorldCat is given as 2004-2007, even though no separate volumes are given. Often, different parts of a multivolume work have different ISBNs, could that be the case here, too? As for the start year of the "Temenos Review", I trust the academy itself and the Berry book more than library catalogs, which often contain inaccuracies. Could it be that "Temenos Review" in the academy article is an incorrect contraction of "Temenos" and "Temenos Academy Review" and that "Temenos" is actually what is meant? As for "journal", the ''Wall Street Journal'' is also called journal and sources will talk about "the journal", but still we call it a newspaper. When a lead states something like "XXX is a thing" to wikilink "thing", so that readers can see what exactly it is. [[Journal]] is sort of a dab page, so should better not be linked. [[Academic journal]]s are defined as being peer-reviewed, which does not seem to be the case here. Would it be acceptable to link "journal" in the lead of the article to magazine (using a piped link: [[magazine|journal]])? --[[User:Guillaume2303|Guillaume2303]] ([[User talk:Guillaume2303|talk]]) 10:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
:::[[Journal|[Journal]]] states, "Although ''journal'' is sometimes used as a synonym for "magazine", in academic use, a journal refers to a serious, scholarly publication, most often peer-reviewed."&nbsp; This seems to fit.&nbsp; Likewise, my sense of English tells me that this is a correct term in the context; whereas "magazine" is correct only in the technical sense as used at the libraries, and the colloquial sense is vulgar in the context, even if not, as you note, pejorative.&nbsp; Also, I noticed that the Lewis/Hooper material refers to the publication as a "journal", so that is now five sources.&nbsp; I'm also reminded that the people involved at Temenos are highly literate, with an audience of the highly literate, so their self-identification carries weight.&nbsp; Your specific concern seems to be to avoid an implication in the article that the "journal" is "peer-reviewed" in the sense of the in-house language of Wikipedians.&nbsp; I think this is already accomplished by noting that the publication includes poetry, although we could add that the THE reviewer characterizes the material as "a collection of essays".

:::The Lewis letters seem to have many ISBNs and editions.&nbsp; I looked at Worldcat and found more ISBNs than I wanted to figure out.&nbsp; Perhaps you found a three-volume set that would be listed as 2004.&nbsp; I found out that p. 1647 is a section entitled "Biographical Appendix".&nbsp; Worldcat entries often list Hooper as a 2nd author.&nbsp; I can use Google books to search inside the book with Javascript enabled.&nbsp; It appears that Hooper (1931- ) was an American secretary or "literary advisor" to Lewis with a bachelor's in English from U North Carolina, 1953.&nbsp; Ok, looking a little more, it turns out [[Walter Hooper]] has an article on Wikipedia, lol.&nbsp; 

:::As for what to do with the multiple references in the encyclopedia to ''Temenos Review'', I think this is better discussed at [[Talk:Temenos Academy]].&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 03:20, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

==FYI: [[Spark accelerator]]==
As near as I can figure out, it may be a slang term for something that bypasses the electronic throttle / speed limiter such as a switch or relay. Probably an open relay given the name. Would put full battery voltage on the motor for maximum acceleration and speed. Illegal in some areas, would invalidate most warranties, and likely to reduce the motor's life.

:::BTW: regarding [[Petrol engine]] "spark accelerator" is a synonym for "spark advance" see [[Ignition timing]].  Today advance is performed electronically. Previously, it was done with weights using centrifugal force and engine speed as well as vacuum.  Earlier it was done manually using a lever such as on a [[Ford Model T]].  So this [[spark accelerator]] has nothing to do with spark advance / ignition timing. [[User:Jim1138|Jim1138]] ([[User talk:Jim1138|talk]]) 17:33, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

To suggest that prepending a comment with "The previous post contains" somehow absolves any following words is absolute nonsense, and if you have any doubts on this manner you are more than welcome to ask a Wikipedia administrator; referring to someone's post as "misdirection" ''et al'' is not a commment on article content, it is [[WP:NPA|accusing someone of personal behavior]] ("misdirection", "moving the goalpost").

== Re: your note to me on the AFD timestamp alteration ==

Thanks for the warning, Unscintillating - unfortunately I'm not in a position to repair the mistake - that AFD now has a close in progress on it, and is clearly requested that no edits are made to the page.  The reason it altered the time stamp is when I fixed the edit, I copied it using my own local timezone - which is One hour ahead of GMT. I won't make that mistake again though :) Thanks for the heads up.

== Veena Malik ==

You've given some very good advice on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Veena_Malik#Birthday Veena Malik talk page] and at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Veena_Malik.27s_year_of_birth BLP/N]. I have also posted similar advice. Unfortunately, Ronz doesn't appear to be very open-minded, is completely ignoring [[WP:VERIFY]], and is misapplying guidelines as a way of falsely claiming that our advice violates BLP, which of course is total nonsense. Maybe you can follow-up on the talk page and try to get him to see reason. Thanks for your input on this. --[[Special:Contributions/76.189.111.2|76.189.111.2]] ([[User talk:76.189.111.2|talk]]) 03:22, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

:Merockys has changed his position and now agrees with you and I. Hopefully, you can say something on the talk page to help finally put an end to the matter. It's been going on for two years, so it's time to resolve it. Thanks for your participation. --[[Special:Contributions/76.189.111.2|76.189.111.2]] ([[User talk:76.189.111.2|talk]]) 21:17, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

==Veena Malik vs Rebecca De Mornay==
The BLPN discussion has been taken totally off track. I've contacted Merockys to see if he wants to continue with his concerns and suggestions.

In the meantime, have you looked at [[Rebecca De Mornay]], or [[Lydia Cornell]] for that matter? At Rebecca De Mornay they did something along the lines you are suggesting - not adding a birth date to the article, but adding a footnote identifying the two likely dates. However, the sources were better and not so contradictory. The more the matter was researched, the clearer the solution became. Similarly, at Lydia Cornell we just researched it until it was clear, but took it to BLPN for review before adding it to the article.

My concern with Malik is that the more we've researched the situation, the more confused it's become. --[[User:Ronz|Ronz]] ([[User talk:Ronz|talk]]) 21:55, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
*I wonder if you are calling the quote parameter in a reference a footnote?&nbsp; By footnote I meant something like at [[1930 Palm Island tragedy]].&nbsp; Maybe my survey at [[Rebecca De Mornay]] just failed to find an example when it was being used.&nbsp; Regarding the [[Rebecca De Mornay]] article, I see that the NYT now gives the 1959 DOB, but lists POB as Los Angeles while the article says POB is Santa Rosa.&nbsp; This appears to be a BLP violation.

:Back to Veena Malik, once again I see you using the word "contradictory".&nbsp; I sense that you are coming from a POV that Wikipedia only presents or should only present non-contradictory information.&nbsp; The contradiction comes in trying to speak with Wikipedia's voice to state one birth date.&nbsp; IMO the existence of sources with differing viewpoints is not itself a contradiction.&nbsp; Is the set of information that you call a contradiction insignificant or more than insignificant?&nbsp; Regards, [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 02:29, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

::Unscintillating, once again your comments are excellent. However, it would much more productive if all these comments were transferred to the article's talk page so that other editors with an interest in the article will be aware of them. Ronz is now taking his comments to three different pages (BLP/N, the article's talk page, and here) instead of just limiting them to the article's talk page, where this matter is now being handled. Sadly, we've explained Ronz's misunderstanding of various guidelines and concepts several times, including the "contradictory" one you had to clarify yet again for him, but he inexplicably keeps repeating them. Anyway, see you at the talk page so we can get closure on this matter. Thanks for your help on this. --[[Special:Contributions/76.189.111.2|76.189.111.2]] ([[User talk:76.189.111.2|talk]]) 03:14, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

:::Responding to Unscintillating: Do you feel it is encyclopedic to include the four years for which we currently have sources? Do you feel doing so would meet BLPs emphasis on accuracy? If we find additional sources for a different birth year, do we just add those too? Do you feel these sources are reliable when the exact same publisher has published contradictory information without comment?

:::I don't have [[Rebecca De Mornay]] on my watch list, and have not reviewed anything else about it other than how the editors there handled her date of birth, so let's not get distracted by the state of the article.

:::What happened at [[Rebecca De Mornay]] is that they eventually agreed to use the birth record that's currently cited. Along the way they had versions like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rebecca_De_Mornay&oldid=431310284 this] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rebecca_De_Mornay&oldid=401545424 this]. --[[User:Ronz|Ronz]] ([[User talk:Ronz|talk]]) 04:15, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

::::Unscintillating, Ronz refuses to continue discussing the matter at the article's talk page where the matter is being handled. This is a violation of talk page guidelines regarding [[WP:MULTI|posting the same thread in multiple forums]]. He continues to ignore this, keeps posting vague nonsense on multiple pages in violation, and also reopened the closed BLP/N. He also continues his irrelevant focus on another article (De Mornay), which obviously carries no weight and clearly sets no precedent for the tens of thousands of other BLPs. I suggest the editor read [[WP:OTHERSTUFF]]. It may become necessary to report his disruptive behavior at AN/I.

::*Ronz, regarding your question about BLP accuracy, I don't think that accuracy is achieved by whitewashing the facts as we know them.&nbsp; Like at Rebecca De Mornay, now that they've removed the alternate reports about birth dates, how are readers supposed to trust Wikipedia if they find sources that refer to the 1961 or 1962 birth dates?&nbsp; Thanks for the diff with the footnote, I agree that there was something unencyclopedic about that footnote, but it is subtle.&nbsp; Perhaps the problem is that it reads like WP:OR and could use some editing.&nbsp; That suggests to me that for the Veena article we might consider a specific proposal for a footnote to get a sense of how it will read.&nbsp; I'll propose that on the talk page.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 04:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

== Steven H. Temares and Paramus High School ==

I have no issue with the notability of [[Steven H. Temares]], perhaps because I wrote the article. I believe he attended -- and graduated -- from [[Paramus High School]] based on the yearbook reference. You don't believe that he graduated and you think that the article from the Wall Street Journal (where the only mention is of his having lived in Paramus, not of his having attended Paramus High School) is necessary to establish the bona fides of the yearbook, one that you have accomplished by doing a facial comparison based on the pictures included in both the yearbook and the WSJ article. I have no problem relying on the yearbook alone, but you believe that the yearbook and WSJ article must both appear to establish the reference. Can you point me to where this apparent [[WP:SYNTH]] issue has been blessed as appropriate? WP:SYNTH states that "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. If one reliable source says A, and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C that is not mentioned by either of the sources." So the yearbook is source A establishing that a Steven H. Temares attended the high school, source B is the WSJ article that says that BB&B CEO Steven H. Temares grew up in Paramus and conclusion C is that the two sources refer to the same person, the apparent definition of original research via synthesis. And why is there no explanation to the reader to explain how the synthesis via facial analysis was performed and that the two sources must be used in combination? [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] ([[User talk:Alansohn|talk]]) 03:24, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
:*Given that there could be more than one Temares in Paramus with the same name, the problem with the yearbook alone is, where is a reliable source that tells readers that the Temares in the yearbook is the one that became the CEO?&nbsp; As far as the issue of using face recognition, I acknowledge that you've cited the words "stated" and "mentioned", but I believe that there is no fundamental difference between reading and understanding meaning, and looking at a picture and understanding meaning.&nbsp; I'd also say that [[WP:IRS|identifying reliable sources]] is an editorial decision, not a matter of content policy, [[:Category:Wikipedia_content policies]].&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 01:20, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

:*Also here is the issue of how does any editor decide that two references are about the same topic.&nbsp; For example I just added [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jarrod_Polson&diff=545584036&oldid=544796095 two references] at [[Jarrod Polson]].&nbsp; The first reference does not say that Polson scored 51 points, and the second does not say that it was a "KHSAA" record.&nbsp; How do editors conclude that these two Polson's are one and the same?&nbsp; The opposite effect occurs at [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#OTRS email re Terrence Scammell]], where there are two Terrence Scammell's born 18 years apart and both actors.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 01:20, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LSU Journal of Energy Law and Resources]] ==

Hi, I absolutely disagree with your untimely closure of this AfD. "Speedy keep" is used for disruptive AfDs (if someone nominated [[Barack Obama]] or [[George W. Bush]], for example), or if there are immediately a number of well-argued keep !votes and no deletions !votes ("snow keep"). Unless you want to argue that my nomination was disruptive, there is no reason to close it before it has run its course. In addition, the closing statement is muddled: "keep" means that an article is notable. This opens the door to endless edit warring with the group of students that are publishing this journal, who, I predict, will undo your redirect within days. (Things would be different after an appropriate AfD that would be closed "redirect"). That the subject matter is also covered in another article is not a "keep" reason either (perhaps it should be removed or at least shortened there, too; I haven't looked yet, but I will). Finally, your statement on the article talk page about the remark on student membership being promotional is wrong. Most US law reviews are edited by students. Membership is open to only certain groups of students and it is completely normal to mention that in articles on such reviews. Please revert your closing and redirection. Bots have been at it, too, so please make sure that after reverting, the debate is still listed at the appropriate places.

:*So do you want to talk about info boxes, AfD, or whether or not a sentence now in an edit history is promotional?&nbsp; [[WP:SK#1]] occurs when the nomination "fails to advance an argument for deletion", whether or not there is "disruption".&nbsp; [[WP:SK#2]] gets into "disruption".&nbsp; AfD means "Articles for Deletion" and even here you have not made an argument for deletion.&nbsp; The concept wp:notability is not defined by the existence of articles on Wikipedia or the content of such articles, so it is not possible to make an argument for a notability deletion solely by looking at the Wikipedia article.&nbsp; "Speeky keep" is a procedural closure that does not define notability, and should not be confused with "keep".&nbsp; IMO, "Speedy keep" is a term that would be better changed to "speedy closure".&nbsp; It also appears in the current case that you discovered the removal of the prod and prepared the entire nomination in three minutes.&nbsp; Why do you expect to bind the community into a seven-day discussion when you've provided no evidence of having done the searches and other steps suggested by [[WP:BEFORE]]?&nbsp; If you want to appeal to an administrator, Black Kite, T. Canens, Penwhale, and Spartaz might be predisposed to view a restoration of the AfD favorably.&nbsp; A redirect from AfD is not binding on the community, and AfD is not a substitute for discussion on the talk page of the article.&nbsp; For the issue of whether or not redirects at AfD are binding on the community, [[User:King of Hearts]] is a knowledgable administrator, and I believe will tell you that administrators do not want AfD to be used to bind them into arbitrating edit wars.&nbsp; Regards, [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 14:38, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
::*So you think "No independent sources, not included in any ''selective'' major indexes. Does not meet [[WP:NJournals]] or [[WP:GNG]]" does not constitute a valid deletion argument and does not include "BEFORE"????? As for the redirect, you came up with that, not I, I propose deletion. One more time, please revert this inappropriate non-admin closure. Thanks. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 16:02, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
:::*I have referred your objection to [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2013 March 30#LSU Journal of Energy Law and Resources]].&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 19:22, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
::::*I never proposed this for redirection and that is not what I have been talking to you about. I am talking about your incorrect and inappropriate premature (and non-admin) closure of a valid AfD. I am not going to participate in an RFD that should not be necessary to start with. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 20:04, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
:::::*Let me also comment on other other point of your above remarks (that are not really overflowing with [[WP:AGF|good faith]]: I do my homework when I PROD an article. If the PROD then gets removed without a good reason, I copy the PROD reason and use Twinkle to take the article to AFD. When I say "no independent sources", I assume that readers will understand that this implies that such sources have not been found. I could go into a litany of where I didn't find anything, but don't feel that is very productive. You could accuse me of not having followed [[WP:BEFORE]] if you had found some easy-to-see sources. All you come up with is ''WorldCat''. Sorry, but I find all this rather insulting. In any case, neither SK#1 nor SK#2 apply here and your closure remains incorrect and inappropriate. And lest you again "misinterpret" my words: what I kindly request from you is that you 1/ revert the redirect of the journal article to the law school and 2/ revert your closure of the AfD and let it run its course. Thanks. --[[User:Randykitty|Randykitty]] ([[User talk:Randykitty|talk]]) 22:55, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
*I'm going to step in here. I ''do'' believe that the SK criteria were applied improperly: the nominator ''did'' advance a policy-based rationale for deletion nomination and saying otherwise shows a lack of good faith as well as a lack of understanding of the guidelines cited in that nomination. And since there was a rationale, this AfD should have run its full course. I hope that I will be able to revert the close and its associated edits; Randykitty, if not, please help me out.

[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|30px|left|alt=|link=]] You currently appear to be engaged in an [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|edit war]]&#32; according to the reverts you have made on [[:North Louisiana Historical Association]]. Users are expected to [[Wikipedia:TALKDONTREVERT|collaborate]] with others, to avoid editing [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptively]], and to [[WP:CONSENSUS|try to reach a consensus]] rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.<br>
Please be particularly aware, [[Wikipedia:Edit warring|Wikipedia's policy on edit warring]] states: 
# '''Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made'''; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
# '''Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.'''
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|talk page]] to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] among editors. You can post a request for help at an [[Wikipedia:Noticeboards|appropriate noticeboard]] or seek [[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|dispute resolution]].

Dear Unscintillating,
I didn't express myself well about the subject of [[Uplace]], which is nominated for deletion. The article is more about the controversy about the case instead of [[WP:CRYSTALBALL]]. The plans are being put on a hold àfter coaltion problems. The article will be expanded and I will also add multiple sources.

== Discussion ==

Hi mate, hope you understood what I was doing with my edits after [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Temecula_Valley_International_Film_Festival&curid=42213866&diff=599976027&oldid=599975894 this one]. I assume you didn't mean to remove my comments while adding yours (especially since you were responding to mine). I used rollback to make it quick but that means you would have received a ping. Cheers mate, [[User: Stalwart111|'''Stalwart''']][[User talk:Stalwart111|'''<span style="color:green;">111</span>''']] 08:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

*For your first question, please open a discussion at [[WT:Banning policy]].&nbsp; In case you have forgotten the receipt of a barnstar on March 19 from the banned editor, for your records, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Alf.laylah.wa.laylah&diff=prev&oldid=600382121 here] is the diff.&nbsp; Also, please review [[WP:Banning policy#Evasion and enforcement]].&nbsp; Thank you, [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 22:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

:::I'm not opening a discussion, because I don't care enough. I see you've been chasing this issue for years, which makes me unwilling to get involved. As for the rest, I remember the barnstar.

:::::I read the policy and I don't see how it applies to striking through edits on a closed AfD for an article that's at DRV, which seems incredibly wrong-headed to me.  That's your business.  If you can't see that doing so is at least problematic, in fact, if you're so blind to the fact that it's problematic that you have to go searching around for some reason why I might have reverted you other than that your edit was problematic, then I suppose I'm not going to convince you of anything.  Why didn't you strike or revert the barnstar, eh?

Hello. I don't feel able to express an opinion as to whether the first paragraph of WP:NOT42 applies to the draft in your userspace. When I wrote WP:NOT42, WP:42 was very obviously innacurate in a number of ways. The last four bullet points of WP:NOT42 arguably apply to all summaries.

== Regarding Deletion/Merge of the Horstmann Technique article ==
Hi! I was glad to see yesterday your suggestion for merging this article with an existing one about alternative therapies. Unfortunately the original article was deleted today. So I thank you for your comment and also wonder if it is possible to expand the existing alternative therapies article? Or is it too late for "Horstmann" at all?
Thanks [[User:Matopotato|Matopotato]] ([[User talk:Matopotato|talk]]) 12:24, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
*That is a question as complicated as how much of your life you want to share interacting with other Wikipedia editors.&nbsp; [[List of alternative therapies]] doesn't exist, and [[List of branches of alternative medicine]] shows a broad range of somewhat related topics.&nbsp; I didn't quickly find a suitable merge topic.&nbsp; Is this an alternative massage therapy?&nbsp; You might also be interested in [[WP:Alternative outlets]].&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 01:39, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

== Russian Bazaar ==

As you mentioned in WP:NGEO, we seem to never be in contact before. Of course, it was only natural to take a look at your user page. And naturally "Russian Bazaar" caught my eye. And naturally, since I've just had come from the notability-related talks, the notability issue caught my eye. Be me more evil, I'd slapped AfD instead of a warning tag.  In edit summary you wrote " not apparent that this tag improves the article". Well, if nobody cares about it, well, [[Wikipedia talk:Notability (geographic features)|the community have already convinced me]] that there is no such thing as inherent notability, right? [[User:Staszek Lem|Staszek Lem]] ([[User talk:Staszek Lem|talk]]) 01:56, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

P.S. Sorry for altercation in the WP:NGEO; must be stress. [[User:Staszek Lem|Staszek Lem]] ([[User talk:Staszek Lem|talk]]) 01:56, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

It looks like we are in a serious disagreement about the policies. Therefore I requiested [[WP:THIRD]] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Unscintillating_reported_by_User:Staszek_Lem_.28Result:_.29 reported edit warring], since I believe you are violating the policy for addressing tags about requested citations.

== Island resources ==

Hi - I saw you listed on the islands Wikiproject for pacific islands specifically.  I'm trying to get [[Ford Island]] to FA status and I need to write a bit of geography on it.  I can find bare facts but nothing of much substance.  Do you know of any resources I can use that might help me out?  I've tried the NOAA and USGS already.--v/r - [[User:TParis|T]][[User_talk:TParis|P]] 19:25, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

== Shopping mall pages ==

Based on my recent dealings with [[User:Epeefleche|Epeefleche]] at some of the shopping mall AfD pages and his own talk page, something tells me he's really not interested in actually improving the shopping mall articles (or certain other articles) by looking for references to add to them, but would rather take the easy way out by just nominating them for deletion at will and dismissively brushing off any improvements to the articles by claiming "Non-notability", implying "Primary sources/'non-reliable' sources don't count", etc. His removal of your comments to him at his talk page (twice) without even acknowledging them also tells me that you've made a point to him that he's unwilling to admit to. [[User:Creativity-II|Creativity-II]] ([[User talk:Creativity-II|talk]]) 09:41, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
*I know he was blocked at one point in time, but I've not gone back and researched the issue.&nbsp; I think your comments have complete clarity.&nbsp; I think his antipathy for finding sources also applies to his use of the refimprove tag.&nbsp; However, it is not true that he never looks for sources, which complicates things.&nbsp; Twice in his recent AfD nominations he has found a source to document the size of the mall he was nominating.

:I am working right now on [[Cornwall Centre (Regina, Saskatchewan)]] where he skipped, as usual, WP:BEFORE D1.&nbsp; The AfD only lasted a week.&nbsp; The first book on the Google Books search was a 14-page book about Cornwall Centre.&nbsp; The news.google.com/newspapers WP:BEFORE D1 search returns a short but in-depth article from Montreal, a source {{convert|1500|mi|km}} away.&nbsp; A search for the topic using the Wikipedia search shows eight articles mentioning the topic.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 02:09, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

What  you  had to  say at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Epeefleche&diff=prev&oldid=617791324|here] in  the light  of the current  discussion  was important and relevant.

FYI, the "ping" function only works if it is added at the same time and in the same edit as your signature. If you add it later, it does not actually ping the person.That's something I also found out the hard way. --[[User:MelanieN|MelanieN]] ([[User talk:MelanieN|talk]]) 04:03, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

== Time out ==
I suggest you take a few deep breaths and count to ten.  You're pushing the limits of acceptable behavior in the comments you left at [[Talk:Hellyer County Park]].  I politely asked you on your talk page to explain your actions; this was not cause to air dirty laundry in public and raise a ruckus.  I've seen editors' privileges on Wikipedia suspended for less than what you've already done.<br /><br />I would also suggest that if you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer to edit on Wikipedia, switch to a standards-compliant browser so that you can see tooltip previews.  I don't use IE, since it isn't offered for my operating system, but I understand from reports that it doesn't display tooltip previews, or at least hasn't been capable of it in the past, among its many other deficiencies and shortcomings. Tooltip previews have been available to logged-in users on Wikipedia for a long time, perhaps more than five years now, to make browsing and editing easier.  Replacing direct links with redirects breaks that functionality.&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Hydrargyrum|Quicksilver]]<sup>[[User_talk:Hydrargyrum|T]] [[Special:Emailuser/Hydrargyrum|@]]</sup> 00:29, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

:You introduced yourself to me at an AfD, with a comment that had at least the superficial appearance that it was commenting on another user.&nbsp; Since commenting on another user at AfD is specifically identified in the Group Notice as disruptive and WP:NPA, I requested you to assert that you were not commenting on another user.&nbsp; I also explained to you that the reason I wanted to know, was that otherwise your comment was subject to being moved to your talk page, refactored, or deleted.&nbsp; But you declined to so assert, rather you said that your comment was "polite".&nbsp; So at this point we are left that you introduced yourself to me with a polite disruptive personal attack.&nbsp; Nothing you have added since that point in time has moved the discussion.&nbsp; Your offer above to accept my preceding AfD comment as ransom in return for removing your introductory personal attack doesn't work, since the logic in my comment is a comment on content, not a contributor, and is a part of my Keep !vote logic, sorry.&nbsp; I'm also seeing what might be foreshadowing in your comments, that would suggest a plan of continuing escalation.&nbsp; Do you have a plan of continuing escalation?&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 01:53, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

== Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Mason (singer) (4th nomination) ==

Hi Unscintillating: I saw your comment at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Mason (singer) (4th nomination)]]. I closed the deletion discussion for the Matt Mason article ([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Mason (singer) (3rd nomination)|third deletion discussion]]) on 1 October 2014, at which time the AfD template was removed from the article (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matt_Mason_(singer)&diff=prev&oldid=627793315 diff page]). The article was subsequently nominated for deletion again on the same day ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Matt_Mason_(singer)&diff=next&oldid=627836068 diff]). The [[WP:NPASR]] no consensus close I performed for the third discussion was correct, as input was inadequate to draw a consensus from. Therefore, it would be inappropriate for the third nomination close to be modified as you have suggested at the fourth nomination discussion. Of note is that the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Mason (singer) (2nd nomination)|second AfD discussion]] was also closed as no consensus.

== AfD concerns ==

Good morning, Unscintillating.  I just awoke to find your added comments in the pending [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2014 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game]].  Before I say anything else, please let me apologize for any unintended aggravation or confusion I have caused with my attempt to clarify the nomination in light of the concerns you raised in your AfD comment.  My intent was not confound your !vote, but to substantively address the concerns you raised in your comment, at a very early stage of the AfD.  I have provided a much longer explanation in the AfD itself.  That having been said, if no content is being imported ''verbatim'' into the parent article from the article to be deleted, is there a reason to prefer a "redirect" outcome for the article rather than a simple deletion?  I sincerely want to understand your concerns, and I would be grateful if you would patiently walk me through your concerns in light of the cited WP:MAD.  I sincerely want to understand and learn.  Thank you -- and again, please accept my apologies for any aggravation I may have caused you.  [[User:Dirtlawyer1|Dirtlawyer1]] ([[User talk:Dirtlawyer1|talk]]) 10:37, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
:Yes, I was aware of the meaning in your words, and I avoided relating the levity in your self-referential comment to my comments.&nbsp; (I've always had a fascination for self-referential language, btw.)&nbsp; We may not be that far apart.&nbsp; You will find an extended analysis at [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 September 28]], which was closed tonight by a non-admin who has posted 25 times on the talk page of the AfD nominator, so it is possible that this DRV close will be contested.&nbsp; Regarding the Chick-fil-A AfD, I've taken a look at the history of this article, and [[WP:PROMOTION]] might be a content reason for deletion of the edit history.&nbsp; The 2013 Chick-fil-A article still has future tense, a year after the event.&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 02:39, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
::Unscintillating, the underlying motivation for these AfDs is that regular season college football games are, with relatively rare exceptions, run-of-the-mill events that generate a lot of routine coverage, but still aren't notable.  You're familiar with the applicable guidelines, so I won't insult you by spouting them.  The long-standing position of WikiProject College football is to push regular season game content into season articles or rivalry series articles, if it's worth including at all, and only permit stand-alone articles for regular season games that have some historical significance or some importance to the culture and lore of college football.  The issue now is educating me regarding your WP:MAD concerns, and seeing if we have a good reason for preserving the editing history for a non-notable college football game -- because if the goal is to preserve maximum editing history by redirecting articles whenever possible, I've got to tell you that's not the way AfD has generally worked in the nearly 400 AfDs in which I have participated: most get deleted with precious little concern regarding their history.  Looking forward to your elaboration -- in the mean time, I will review the discussions you linked above.

:::What I think in your scenario is that the sports arena could do more to WP:PRESERVE the work of our content contributors by merging instead of deleting.&nbsp; I found that [[WP:Pocket consensus]] addresses the local consensus of Wikiprojects.&nbsp; If you looked at the DRV I mentioned, you may also be aware that it went to AN and the close was promptly overturned, and then even that close was revised to reopen the first AfD.&nbsp; However, [[User talk:TParis#Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2014 September 28#VideoPad]] recommends [[WT:Deletion review#History undeletion underneath redirect]].&nbsp; What I said there was, {{cquote|"*'''Comment'''&nbsp; A deletion for lack of wp:notability should only occur when there is no suitable target for redirection.&nbsp; Thus the creation of a redirect overturns an AfD that deleted a topic for insufficient wp:notability, and it is then logical that a restoration of the edit history be routine.&nbsp; A corollary is that closes need to identify whether the deletion was for notability, for content, or for both.&nbsp; <small>[[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating|talk]]) 02:08, 28 September 2014 (UTC)</small>}}

== [[WP:ACE2015|ArbCom elections are now open!]] ==

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]]. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]].

== External links ==

You said (of me) elsewhere, ''he/she removed all of the external references from Russell Humphreys. ''

Well, thanks for the "he/she"! Always good to be cautious, I guess, given the nature of the internet. However, my gender is as indicated by my name.

WRT Mr Humphreys, the external links duplicated what we already had as sources in the body of the article. The exception was the book review, but that's hardly the sort of external source that wikipolicy sees as useful. 

What I'm seeing with a lot of these creationists is link promotion for a very small number of sites, and that leads me to enquire just how truly notable are they in the wider world, if the wider world has little to say about them. --[[User:Skyring|Pete]] ([[User talk:Skyring|talk]]) 21:16, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doubleclouder]] ==

I'm pretty mystified by your comments here. In my nomination statement, I state that there is "[n]o evidence of real-world notability", so yes, I provide an argument. You link to speedy keep criterion one, which clearly does not apply: "The nominator withdraws the nomination..." - I haven't - "...or fails to advance an argument for deletion or redirection..." - I provided one - "...perhaps only proposing an alternative action such as moving or merging..." - I haven't proposed either - "...and no one other than the nominator recommends that the page be deleted"- someone else has recommended deletion. You then link to the (rather weird) essay [[Wikipedia:Insignificance]]: if you think this topic is "insignificant", then presumably you feel (as that essay says) that it should be deleted, not speedily kept. At least one of us is confused, here, and I'm fairly sure I'm not. [[User:J Milburn|Josh Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 08:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
:You don't wikilink "real-world notability", and I don't find references to explain it when I search Wikipedia.&nbsp; I suspect that your meaning is explicitly identified in WP:N as not a concept we use to understand wp:notability, but you could write an essay if you think it needs more attention.&nbsp; As for your assertion that "per nom" along with "not notable" are a deletion argument, see [[WP:ATA]].&nbsp; If you think our policies are "weird", then you can either get the policies changed, or find a Wiki with policies more to your liking.&nbsp; I don't know what you gained by disregarding the process at WP:BEFORE that was recommended to you when you created the AfD.&nbsp; It seems to me that it would save other editors time by preparing the community by following the recommended process.

:BTW, if the AfD is closed as a speedy keep, you should expect the close to be marked [[WP:NPASR]], which provides you the option of submitting a revised AfD.&nbsp; Respectfully, [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating#top|talk]]) 00:15, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
::Again, you appear to be confused. "Real-world notability" refers to "notability in the real world", as opposed to notability in a fictional world (like one of the ''Transformers'' universes). That should be moderately clear to anyone fluent in English, so no, I'm not going to "write an essay". I did not assert that "that 'per nom' along with 'not notable' are a deletion argument" (they are, but that's beside the point...), I said that another user had recommended deletion. So, once again, the discussion clearly and explicitly does not meet the speedy keep criteria, which specify that "no one other than the nominator recommends that the page be deleted". You should withdraw your recommendation immediately. I also did not describe a single policy as "weird", I described a badly-written "essay" with an unclear subject as "weird"- and, in any case, if you feel that the topic is "insignificant" as that word is defined in the essay, you should be supporting deletion, not engaging in misguided wikilawyering to have the page "speedy kept". And I did carry out the process at [[WP:BEFORE]]; I'm quite sure that no acceptable article about this topic could be created. You have yet to provide any evidence to the contrary. Do you have any? And, as for your "It seems to me that it would save other editors time by preparing the community by following the recommended process"- what recommended process is this? The only person wasting time here is you, and it's my time that you're wasting. I assumed that you were a new user, but I see that you are not- I'm really at a loss as to why you are making the claims that you are.

== Pageant AFDs ==

I wouldn't be surprised if John Pack Lambert didn't read the appropriate stuff, he's been running through all the pageant articles showering AFDs like candy with little appreciation for the content of each article or its merits - as evidenced by describing people with the wrong details in his AFD comments, ignoring the sourcing on the articles etc.  Has thoroughly turned me off editing on here.  [[User:PageantUpdater|PageantUpdater]] ([[User talk:PageantUpdater|talk]]) 10:40, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Whether or not [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)&diff=prev&oldid=736645374 this] is considered harassment seems to be [[WP:DOX|under dispute]], but I personally don't think you need that kind of trouble. My suggestion would be to have that comment [[WP:REVDEL|revdeleted]]; and in the future, if you think someone's actions off-wiki could impede something ''on''-wiki, it would probably be best to email an admin&mdash;or even [https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Contact_us contact someone at the Wikimedia Foundation].

== Reasoning ==

The reason why you're editing restriction proposal on Jpl didn't work is because (a) it was a bit harsh (b) too long and (c) had too many restrictions, semantics and criteria. Next time (and I assume there might be a next time), it should be a bit more pliable and less wordy. [[User:Pwolit iets|Pwolit iets]] ([[User talk:Pwolit iets|talk]]) 07:47, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Has my rewrite of [[David Merlini]] at [[Draft:David Merlini]] addressed your [[WP:DEL14]] concerns at [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2016 September 24#David Merlini]]? Would you support restoring the article?

Deletion at AfD is in error under [[WP:BEFORE]] C1 and C3. C1 says that if the article can be fixed through normal editing (like my rewrite), then it is not a candidate for AfD. C3 said the article should be tagged with {{tl|advert}} so readers are aware of the problem and can act to remedy it; this was not done.

Do not edit closed AfDs, not even to strike through comments by blocked editors.

: Is there any clear policy on this?  Because I for one would certainly support the striking through.

== Microsoft Hearts ==

Hello Unscintillating. Thank you very much for your effort in entering the discussion on the mathematics section of the Microsoft Hearts article. I agree with your view expressed in Talk:Microsoft Hearts#Mathematics. As things stand Jasper Deng has deleted the complete section. I believe his action is contrary to the spirit of Wikipedia. He also appears to hold self-contradicting views. I have attempted, in a pleasant way, to convince him to reconsider his action but he appears intransigent. 

Incidentally, the win rate percentage idea was introduced by me. I originally claimed a good player could achieve a 56% win rate. My personal win rate is 56% over a run of more than 7000 games. I have tried some experimentation during this run so I believe that a good player, without experimentation, playing 100 games (ie a statistically significant sample size), may be able to achieve >56%.  However, as I also originally claimed, it appears difficult to get much above this rate. Someone else edited my percentage to read 60%+. This figure is unverified. I introduced the win rate idea mainly to invite discussion of the theoretical optimum which I would love to see someone calculate.
 
[[File:Microsoft Hearts - verified win rate 56%.png|thumb|verified 56% win rate]]

Anyway, I think the mathematics discussion is a beautiful little piece of writing by all contributors and adds significantly to the article.

I am not Wiki literate, so I feel at a distinct disadvantage in getting this section re-instated. I hope you can help. How can we reinstate the section? :-)[[User:Lynton1|Lynton1]] ([[User talk:Lynton1|talk]]) 01:30, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

== John Renna ==

Can you help with sourcing for the article on John Renna, I am on holiday and do not have access to newspapers.com, or even a standard keyboard. I just spent the last 10 minutes trying to find square brackets on the keyboard. --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 23:20, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

== Comments at SPI ==

Please do not use SPI as a forum for dispute resolution, particularly when that dispute does not involve the editor accused of sockpuppetry. Your exchange of comment with Rusf10 at [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bernice McCullers]] is not relevant to determining whether or not Bernice McCullers has misused multiple accounts, so I have removed it. Please settle your differences with Rusf10 elsewhere, ideally here or on their talk page. Regards. [[User:Sir Sputnik|Sir Sputnik]] ([[User talk:Sir Sputnik|talk]]) 05:39, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Schlossberg]] ==

I've merged [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Schlossberg (4th nomination)]] into [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Schlossberg]]. There were two recommendations from editors other than the nominator that were moved. The nominator's comments in the former were identical, word for word, to their comments in the latter, except there were additional comments in the latter. As such, nothing was moved from the nominator's comments. I've turned the former nomination into a redirect to the latter, and I've edited all pages that transcluded the former to point to the latter. If you see anything else that needs to be done, have at it or let me know. Thanks, --[[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] ([[User talk:Hammersoft|talk]]) 14:54, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

[[File:Ambox notice.svg|link=|25px|alt=Information icon]] There is currently a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. <!--Template:ANI-notice-->

== Archive time? ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of [[WP:ARCHIVING|archiving]]. According to [[WP:TPG|Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines]]; "''Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions.''" - this talk page is {{#expr:{{formatnum:400,281|R}} / 1000 round 1 }} KB. See [[Help:Archiving a talk page]] for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a [[WP:BOT|bot]].  If you have any questions, place a <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Help me|help me]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> notice on your talk page, or go to the [[WP:HD|help desk]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-archive --> [[User:Bellezzasolo|<span style="color: #bb9900">&#x2230;</span><span style="color: #00326a">'''Bellezzasolo'''</span><span style="color: #bb9900">&#x2721;</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Bellezzasolo|<small>Discuss</small>]] 12:27, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
