Hi. As per WP:RM, "If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page." Do you really think folks would contest this move, seeing the recent popularity of the app? Especially in light of the app article getting over 10x more views than the tinder (material) article? Onel5969 TT me 17:05, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
This is not proper at all. An RM with participation that low should be relisted, especially when respondents indicate uncerainty (as the first does), or are simply arguing against guidelines (as the second is, using cherry-picked sources to ignore all those that lower-case – and these were the only two). If RS are not consistent, WP does not use capital letters, and you must surely know that by now. It's also not credible that you don't know that all previous RMs of this sort about named of non-trademarked games and sports have resulted in lower case. I could have speedied this, but chose not to because not everyone's aware that "morris" in this case is not a proper naem. I would have taken this to WP:MR and certainly will if it happens again, but an actual RfC is more appropriate, because your bad close has directly led to anti-MOS:CAPS editwarring at other articles by someone who mistakes it for a consensus in favor of capitals, not a low-participation failure to come to consensus about moving one article. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 00:31, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

While I am here, I am actually fascinated by the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court article you are bringing forth, well actually by the topic itself. I will say one thing with certainty.

Just a note that in the process of overhauling List of federal judges appointed by Gerald Ford, I moved three judges from Nixon's list to Ford's list.

I have a quick question that I just wanted your opinion on…if I need to take it to the project page, just let me know. I have a question about infoboxes. If a person has been nominated for a position, is the infobox supposed to be updated to reflect that nomination or should we wait until said individual is confirmed (or not)? The person/page in question is Edward C. Prado. He has been announced as a nominee for an ambassadorship, although the nomination has not been made official yet. I didn’t update the infobox to reflect his nomination, although I did note the intent to nominate in the article. He hasn’t received a hearing, much less been confirmed. Another editor had made changes, adding his ambassadorial nomination to the infobox. I hid that portion in a subsequent edit and my edits were reverted, the comment being, “making nominee for ambassador to argentina visible as has been standard practice with other presidential nominees. Just because he's currently a federal judge doesn't mean he's an exception” I’m just curious…is there a standard practice? I’ve been an editor for almost 5 years and primarily focus on federal judicial nominations/appointments and I’m unaware of a directive that says a nominee’s status has to be listed in the infobox. To me that doesn't serve a purpose. What say you? Thanks in advance Snickers2686 ( talk) 22:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi BD2412 - I am a lawyer and freelance journalist. I would like to write an article profiling you and your contributions to Wikipedia, especially those entries relating to the legal system. Here are some similar profiles of Wikipedia editors for your reference by other writers: Justin Knapp and McChizzle for the Honda Ridgeline. I think it could be a really fascinating story, especially given your massive work editing the federal courts articles. Please consider reaching out to me at stephe nbharri son@gmail.com. Thanks for your ongoing work updating Wikipedia. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 17:55, 26 January 2018 (UTC) Stephen Harrison
Ok, sounds like a plan. If it’s okay with you, BD2412, I might spread the questions over time and ask them individually. Let’s begin... you’ve spent so much of your free time editing Wikipedia. Literally hundreds upon hundreds of hours without financial compensation. And I guess I’m curious: why? What motivates you? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 05:26, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
On your user page, you state that you have edited “about 14.25% of the articles on Wikipedia; if you have edited more than seven articles, there is probably an article that both you and I have edited.” English Wikipedia has over 5.5 million articles, so this is clearly a massive contribution to the world’s largest encyclopedia. And you’ve been editing actively for almost 13 years. What is the significance of that 14.25% statistic to you? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 17:54, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
A quick follow-up on editing 14.25% of all articles: is it a goal of yours to maintain or increase this percentage in the future as Wikipedia continues to grow? In addition to your editing contributions, you’ve created thousands of new articles. They vary widely from the many law-related articles to musicians like Cherokee jazz pianist Carl T. Fischer. You’re in the Top 10 List of Wikipedians by article count. What is your view of the relationship between editing articles and creating them? How do you think about that balance in the Wikipedia ecosystem? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 20:06, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
You are a lawyer, and that training not only affects your subject matter interests but your perceived credibility in editing legal articles. For example, when you were nominated to be an administrator, your supporters pointed to the quality of your contributions *and* said it would be great to add a lawyer Wikipedian. What are your thoughts on the role of professional credentials and editorial authority? Is there a relationship between Wikipedia's democratic characteristics and formal qualifications? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 00:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
You brought up the problem of inaccurate and hoax articles, which I view as Wikipedia’s version of fake news. I’d like to talk about the related problem of biased articles. It seems to me that law-related articles like Felony disenfranchisement could present a greater challenge to preserve objectivity than Birka female Viking warrior. What’s been your experience with neutrality in editing legal articles? Are you conscious of your own biases? Do you find it difficult to counter them or the biases of other editors? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 13:02, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
You mentioned that you edit Wikipedia primarily for intrinsic reasons because you enjoy putting the articles together, and not for any great and noble motivation. But I'd like to follow-up on that. Lots of Wikipedia articles are on somewhat trivial topics, however, your legal articles could be read by people who are directly interacting with the legal system. I could imagine, for example, a lawyer brushing up on the Rules of Evidence to better advise her client. Or a criminal defendant researching the presiding judge before his trial. Any comment on this potential public benefit? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 20:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
I’m curious about a “day in the life” of an active Wikipedia editor and your experience overall. How much time do you spend here on an average day? Do you monitor some of your favorite topics religiously? If you haven’t been on Wikipedia for a while, does that feel strange? Do you still get excited for a good old-fashioned editorial debate? When you begin a large disambiguation project involving 1000s upon 1000s of links, do you treat yourself to Redbull or beer? Does this feel like work to you? Would welcome any detail you’d like to add outside the scope of these specific questions — whatever you’d like to share. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 03:58, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
As an aside, this is great detail and I really appreciate you taking the time to describe. FYI, I’m planning to give myself a few more weeks to work on this story because the scope keeps expanding. Just wanted you to be aware that there is not an immediate rush on my end. In light of your notes above, my questions relate to your work/life balance. Being an intellectual property lawyer is demanding, and I understand you also have a family. How do you fit in your Wikipedia hobby? Do you edit less when you’re busy preparing for a complex trial? You mentioned that you might use Wikipedia for preliminary background on a potential adverse party. Are there other synergies or trade-offs between your Wikipedia efforts and your professional legal practice? Also, circling back, could you by chance estimate your daily average Wikipedia time? It’s a bit hard for me to gauge the human time required to use automated tools like AWB. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 22:44, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Has that average 7 hrs/day Wikipedia time had any impact on your personal life? For example: have there been any marital arguments about spending too much time on the site? Or is your wife completely on-board because it’s a fun inexpensive hobby? Maybe you met your wife while editing, and you two bonded over shared Wikipedian values? Has Wikipedia had any effect on your ability to make friends IRL (in real life)? Has editing become a family affair with children and older relatives all joining in to edit together? To be clear, I’m throwing out these somewhat tongue-and-cheek personal questions solely to the extent you’re comfortable. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 01:24, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Can you help me better understand and explain the use of automated tools like AutoWikiBrowswer? I’ve done some research and might just need to test AWB myself. How have these automated tools been a game-changer since you began editing in 2005? Readers might also be interested in whether these tools are only used by the administrators or available to all. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 15:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
I may have a better understanding of disambiguation after trying out the Dabsolver. Let's see if I can express it using your earlier example of John Smith and this hypothetical: Assume that one day the Pocahontas entry appeared on the list of articles with disambiguation links. One of the links in that article is to John Smith (disambiguation page). As an editor, you can determine by the context of the article that the reader would prefer and expect that this text point to John Smith (the British explorer who encountered Pocahontas) and not John Smith (disambiguation page with links to every notable John Smith). You would therefore change that link from the disambiguation page to the direct link. Does that sound right? Overall, I'm seeing the purpose of disambiguation as streamlining the reader experience. Is that how you see it? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 00:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
I want the article to be clear about the difference between automated tools like AWB and bots. I suppose the difference is that AWB requires a human operator whereas bots do not. Do you use bots for your editing? If so, how are they helpful? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 13:37, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
A line from above might be tripping me up. You said you "spend between seven hours a day editing" Wikipedia. Did you mean between _ and seven hours? Regarding bots: I would be interested in your opinion on the overall value they provide to Wikipedia. For example, I could envision a corporation using a bot to undo/censor any unflattering changes to its company article. Or maybe Russia uses bots to make inflammatory edits to the articles of U.S. political figures and sow social discord (note: I have no evidence of this and am simply using it as a topical hypothetical). Or maybe bots are a good thing, on balance, because they undo bad changes and reduce the effects of Vandalism on Wikipedia. Do you have an opinion on whether bots are ultimately a good, bad, or neutral force on this site? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 16:49, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
A quick clarification: are those seven to nine focused human hours? Curious whether you can multitask to some extent. Your comment about AI potentially writing articles down the line has me thinking about the future of Wikipedia. I see that you presented on the idea of documentary Wiki films during Wikimania 2016. Do you still think that's the future? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 22:09, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Your vision for the Wiki future is not only fresh (as in, I’m not finding much coverage about it), but also very quotable. Thank you. I think one thing missing from the profile is how the Wikipedia time relates to your personal or family life. Apologies if my earlier questions about this were intrusive. I do believe the personal side is something readers would be really, really curious about. Would you be willing to share something from this angle? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 12:39, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Any concerns about potential burnout? Do you wish you had more help? That is, do you wish more people (and perhaps more lawyers) would step up to create and edit quality articles? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 14:05, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
I really love this NYT profile on this guy Tim Burke who creates these amazing animated sports GIFs. One interesting part of the Burke piece is the description of his office, and that has me thinking about your work space when you're creating and editing. Can you describe? And you mentioned supra that you don't drink caffeine or alcohol while wikiworking. Do you listen to music or otherwise stimulate yourself? If you're working on one of your longform articles like Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States, does someone come in from time to time to bring a snack? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 14:09, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Yes, of course, this has been very useful. Fascinating for me as someone who's not very familiar with Wikipedia. It also looks like I'll be able to place the piece in a well-known national publication. *fist pump* I will try to make my last few questions brief and also wrap today if possible because I know you are working on your new project. First, a hopefully quick one: By my count, based on this contribs page, you have started or made substantial contributions to the articles for 548 U.S federal and state judges. Does this sound right? Do you have any stats or anecdotal evidence on who reads the articles on judges? Second, can you tell me at a high-level about your new project? Is it through the law firm or wiki-related? Would you characterize it as a vacation, or to use your word, a wikibreak? Third, and speaking of vacation, are you going to Wikimania 2018? :) Stephenbharrison ( talk) 16:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Move of George William WhitehurstThe judge's article is currently located at George William Whitehurst (judge). George William Whitehurst is a redirect to G. William Whitehurst, a former Congressman.

Hi bd2412, Thanks for unlocking Fresh Kid Ice. One of my goals when I joined Wikipedia, was to make a fair bio to all 2 Live crew members. Boy did it turn into gong show. At the time I didn't know or understand anything about re-direct and pages. At the time I personally contacted Fresh Kid Ice who was a real gentleman gave me photos that I could use, thank god he was a good guy because it was difficult to explain to him about wiki terms. They even re-directed the page of Mr. Mixx who made the blueprint and produce the biggest hits of Miami Bass music. Anyways I intent to put them on point to the best of my ability, and did Brother Marquis as well, it was easy since both of them have the same history. I will take care of Mixx later this week. I was wondering If wanted to put album covers, and crop some of them for profile pictures what are the requirement each time I did it except once people went after me, without giving me a clear explanation, or chronological order of what to do. You may or may not know how to do this, but I am also in touch with his estate so what should I do present photos they allow us to use strictly for Wikipedia. Thanks a lot it means a lot to me.

The fact that NATO happens to use it doesn't make it a NATO system. Otherwise I'll have to take this to WP:MR.

Just finished Theodore Roosevelt's list. Nice thing about going backwards by Presidents is that the lists get shorter and easier to update as I go. There is a problem that I encountered that I am fixing as I have proceeded through Taft and Roosevelt and will fix as I do McKinley's, Cleveland's and Harrison's lists. The United States circuit courts were not abolished in 1891, but continued to exist until December 31, 1911. During that 20 year period, Circuit Judges were duly appointed to both the Circuit Courts and Courts of Appeals (except in the DC Circuit where the Circuit Courts were abolished in 1863). The notes I have left in List of federal judges appointed by William Howard Taft and List of federal judges appointed by Theodore Roosevelt should sufficiently explain the situation to readers. I will leave similar notes in McKinley's, Cleveland's and Harrison's articles as I do them over the next several days. Safiel ( talk) 19:29, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi. As per WP:RM, "If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page." Do you really think folks would contest this move, seeing the recent popularity of the app? Especially in light of the app article getting over 10x more views than the tinder (material) article? Onel5969 TT me 17:05, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
This is not proper at all. An RM with participation that low should be relisted, especially when respondents indicate uncerainty (as the first does), or are simply arguing against guidelines (as the second is, using cherry-picked sources to ignore all those that lower-case – and these were the only two). If RS are not consistent, WP does not use capital letters, and you must surely know that by now. It's also not credible that you don't know that all previous RMs of this sort about named of non-trademarked games and sports have resulted in lower case. I could have speedied this, but chose not to because not everyone's aware that "morris" in this case is not a proper naem. I would have taken this to WP:MR and certainly will if it happens again, but an actual RfC is more appropriate, because your bad close has directly led to anti-MOS:CAPS editwarring at other articles by someone who mistakes it for a consensus in favor of capitals, not a low-participation failure to come to consensus about moving one article. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 00:31, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I have a quick question that I just wanted your opinion on…if I need to take it to the project page, just let me know. I have a question about infoboxes. If a person has been nominated for a position, is the infobox supposed to be updated to reflect that nomination or should we wait until said individual is confirmed (or not)? The person/page in question is Edward C. Prado. He has been announced as a nominee for an ambassadorship, although the nomination has not been made official yet. I didn’t update the infobox to reflect his nomination, although I did note the intent to nominate in the article. He hasn’t received a hearing, much less been confirmed. Another editor had made changes, adding his ambassadorial nomination to the infobox. I hid that portion in a subsequent edit and my edits were reverted, the comment being, “making nominee for ambassador to argentina visible as has been standard practice with other presidential nominees. Just because he's currently a federal judge doesn't mean he's an exception” I’m just curious…is there a standard practice? I’ve been an editor for almost 5 years and primarily focus on federal judicial nominations/appointments and I’m unaware of a directive that says a nominee’s status has to be listed in the infobox. To me that doesn't serve a purpose. What say you? Thanks in advance Snickers2686 ( talk) 22:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi BD2412 - I am a lawyer and freelance journalist. I would like to write an article profiling you and your contributions to Wikipedia, especially those entries relating to the legal system. Here are some similar profiles of Wikipedia editors for your reference by other writers: Justin Knapp and McChizzle for the Honda Ridgeline. I think it could be a really fascinating story, especially given your massive work editing the federal courts articles. Please consider reaching out to me at stephe nbharri son@gmail.com. Thanks for your ongoing work updating Wikipedia. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 17:55, 26 January 2018 (UTC) Stephen Harrison
Ok, sounds like a plan. If it’s okay with you, BD2412, I might spread the questions over time and ask them individually. Let’s begin... you’ve spent so much of your free time editing Wikipedia. Literally hundreds upon hundreds of hours without financial compensation. And I guess I’m curious: why? What motivates you? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 05:26, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
On your user page, you state that you have edited “about 14.25% of the articles on Wikipedia; if you have edited more than seven articles, there is probably an article that both you and I have edited.” English Wikipedia has over 5.5 million articles, so this is clearly a massive contribution to the world’s largest encyclopedia. And you’ve been editing actively for almost 13 years. What is the significance of that 14.25% statistic to you? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 17:54, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
A quick follow-up on editing 14.25% of all articles: is it a goal of yours to maintain or increase this percentage in the future as Wikipedia continues to grow? In addition to your editing contributions, you’ve created thousands of new articles. They vary widely from the many law-related articles to musicians like Cherokee jazz pianist Carl T. Fischer. You’re in the Top 10 List of Wikipedians by article count. What is your view of the relationship between editing articles and creating them? How do you think about that balance in the Wikipedia ecosystem? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 20:06, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
You are a lawyer, and that training not only affects your subject matter interests but your perceived credibility in editing legal articles. For example, when you were nominated to be an administrator, your supporters pointed to the quality of your contributions *and* said it would be great to add a lawyer Wikipedian. What are your thoughts on the role of professional credentials and editorial authority? Is there a relationship between Wikipedia's democratic characteristics and formal qualifications? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 00:35, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
You brought up the problem of inaccurate and hoax articles, which I view as Wikipedia’s version of fake news. I’d like to talk about the related problem of biased articles. It seems to me that law-related articles like Felony disenfranchisement could present a greater challenge to preserve objectivity than Birka female Viking warrior. What’s been your experience with neutrality in editing legal articles? Are you conscious of your own biases? Do you find it difficult to counter them or the biases of other editors? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 13:02, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
You mentioned that you edit Wikipedia primarily for intrinsic reasons because you enjoy putting the articles together, and not for any great and noble motivation. But I'd like to follow-up on that. Lots of Wikipedia articles are on somewhat trivial topics, however, your legal articles could be read by people who are directly interacting with the legal system. I could imagine, for example, a lawyer brushing up on the Rules of Evidence to better advise her client. Or a criminal defendant researching the presiding judge before his trial. Any comment on this potential public benefit? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 20:00, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
I’m curious about a “day in the life” of an active Wikipedia editor and your experience overall. How much time do you spend here on an average day? Do you monitor some of your favorite topics religiously? If you haven’t been on Wikipedia for a while, does that feel strange? Do you still get excited for a good old-fashioned editorial debate? When you begin a large disambiguation project involving 1000s upon 1000s of links, do you treat yourself to Redbull or beer? Does this feel like work to you? Would welcome any detail you’d like to add outside the scope of these specific questions — whatever you’d like to share. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 03:58, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
As an aside, this is great detail and I really appreciate you taking the time to describe. FYI, I’m planning to give myself a few more weeks to work on this story because the scope keeps expanding. Just wanted you to be aware that there is not an immediate rush on my end. In light of your notes above, my questions relate to your work/life balance. Being an intellectual property lawyer is demanding, and I understand you also have a family. How do you fit in your Wikipedia hobby? Do you edit less when you’re busy preparing for a complex trial? You mentioned that you might use Wikipedia for preliminary background on a potential adverse party. Are there other synergies or trade-offs between your Wikipedia efforts and your professional legal practice? Also, circling back, could you by chance estimate your daily average Wikipedia time? It’s a bit hard for me to gauge the human time required to use automated tools like AWB. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 22:44, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Has that average 7 hrs/day Wikipedia time had any impact on your personal life? For example: have there been any marital arguments about spending too much time on the site? Or is your wife completely on-board because it’s a fun inexpensive hobby? Maybe you met your wife while editing, and you two bonded over shared Wikipedian values? Has Wikipedia had any effect on your ability to make friends IRL (in real life)? Has editing become a family affair with children and older relatives all joining in to edit together? To be clear, I’m throwing out these somewhat tongue-and-cheek personal questions solely to the extent you’re comfortable. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 01:24, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Can you help me better understand and explain the use of automated tools like AutoWikiBrowswer? I’ve done some research and might just need to test AWB myself. How have these automated tools been a game-changer since you began editing in 2005? Readers might also be interested in whether these tools are only used by the administrators or available to all. Stephenbharrison ( talk) 15:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
I may have a better understanding of disambiguation after trying out the Dabsolver. Let's see if I can express it using your earlier example of John Smith and this hypothetical: Assume that one day the Pocahontas entry appeared on the list of articles with disambiguation links. One of the links in that article is to John Smith (disambiguation page). As an editor, you can determine by the context of the article that the reader would prefer and expect that this text point to John Smith (the British explorer who encountered Pocahontas) and not John Smith (disambiguation page with links to every notable John Smith). You would therefore change that link from the disambiguation page to the direct link. Does that sound right? Overall, I'm seeing the purpose of disambiguation as streamlining the reader experience. Is that how you see it? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 00:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
I want the article to be clear about the difference between automated tools like AWB and bots. I suppose the difference is that AWB requires a human operator whereas bots do not. Do you use bots for your editing? If so, how are they helpful? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 13:37, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
A line from above might be tripping me up. You said you "spend between seven hours a day editing" Wikipedia. Did you mean between _ and seven hours? Regarding bots: I would be interested in your opinion on the overall value they provide to Wikipedia. For example, I could envision a corporation using a bot to undo/censor any unflattering changes to its company article. Or maybe Russia uses bots to make inflammatory edits to the articles of U.S. political figures and sow social discord (note: I have no evidence of this and am simply using it as a topical hypothetical). Or maybe bots are a good thing, on balance, because they undo bad changes and reduce the effects of Vandalism on Wikipedia. Do you have an opinion on whether bots are ultimately a good, bad, or neutral force on this site? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 16:49, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
A quick clarification: are those seven to nine focused human hours? Curious whether you can multitask to some extent. Your comment about AI potentially writing articles down the line has me thinking about the future of Wikipedia. I see that you presented on the idea of documentary Wiki films during Wikimania 2016. Do you still think that's the future? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 22:09, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
Your vision for the Wiki future is not only fresh (as in, I’m not finding much coverage about it), but also very quotable. Thank you. I think one thing missing from the profile is how the Wikipedia time relates to your personal or family life. Apologies if my earlier questions about this were intrusive. I do believe the personal side is something readers would be really, really curious about. Would you be willing to share something from this angle? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 12:39, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
Any concerns about potential burnout? Do you wish you had more help? That is, do you wish more people (and perhaps more lawyers) would step up to create and edit quality articles? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 14:05, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
I really love this NYT profile on this guy Tim Burke who creates these amazing animated sports GIFs. One interesting part of the Burke piece is the description of his office, and that has me thinking about your work space when you're creating and editing. Can you describe? And you mentioned supra that you don't drink caffeine or alcohol while wikiworking. Do you listen to music or otherwise stimulate yourself? If you're working on one of your longform articles like Demographics of the Supreme Court of the United States, does someone come in from time to time to bring a snack? Stephenbharrison ( talk) 14:09, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Yes, of course, this has been very useful. Fascinating for me as someone who's not very familiar with Wikipedia. It also looks like I'll be able to place the piece in a well-known national publication. *fist pump* I will try to make my last few questions brief and also wrap today if possible because I know you are working on your new project. First, a hopefully quick one: By my count, based on this contribs page, you have started or made substantial contributions to the articles for 548 U.S federal and state judges. Does this sound right? Do you have any stats or anecdotal evidence on who reads the articles on judges? Second, can you tell me at a high-level about your new project? Is it through the law firm or wiki-related? Would you characterize it as a vacation, or to use your word, a wikibreak? Third, and speaking of vacation, are you going to Wikimania 2018? :) Stephenbharrison ( talk) 16:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Move of George William WhitehurstThe judge's article is currently located at George William Whitehurst (judge). George William Whitehurst is a redirect to G. William Whitehurst, a former Congressman.

Hi bd2412, Thanks for unlocking Fresh Kid Ice. One of my goals when I joined Wikipedia, was to make a fair bio to all 2 Live crew members. Boy did it turn into gong show. At the time I didn't know or understand anything about re-direct and pages. At the time I personally contacted Fresh Kid Ice who was a real gentleman gave me photos that I could use, thank god he was a good guy because it was difficult to explain to him about wiki terms. They even re-directed the page of Mr. Mixx who made the blueprint and produce the biggest hits of Miami Bass music. Anyways I intent to put them on point to the best of my ability, and did Brother Marquis as well, it was easy since both of them have the same history. I will take care of Mixx later this week. I was wondering If wanted to put album covers, and crop some of them for profile pictures what are the requirement each time I did it except once people went after me, without giving me a clear explanation, or chronological order of what to do. You may or may not know how to do this, but I am also in touch with his estate so what should I do present photos they allow us to use strictly for Wikipedia. Thanks a lot it means a lot to me.

I request that you change you close at Talk:NATO phonetic alphabet#Requested move 2 February 2018 to a simple "no consensus", without any editorializing, especially in the direction of suggesting changing the lead to favor the "NATO" naming, when again and again respondents in the RM raised WP:NPOV and just plain factual accuracy concerns with the idea of identifying this communication system with NATO in particular. The fact that NATO happens to use it doesn't make it a NATO system. Otherwise I'll have to take this to WP:MR. This base result (no move) would be the same, but your directions to skew the article to favor the NATO viewpoint cannot stand. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 23:52, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi, do you know if there's any way to speed up the propagation of a change in a template when a link in the template has been changed, to avoid bots marking the previous title as having loads of incoming links? Thanks! Dr. Vogel ( talk) 18:12, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
Just finished Theodore Roosevelt's list. Nice thing about going backwards by Presidents is that the lists get shorter and easier to update as I go. There is a problem that I encountered that I am fixing as I have proceeded through Taft and Roosevelt and will fix as I do McKinley's, Cleveland's and Harrison's lists. The United States circuit courts were not abolished in 1891, but continued to exist until December 31, 1911. During that 20 year period, Circuit Judges were duly appointed to both the Circuit Courts and Courts of Appeals (except in the DC Circuit where the Circuit Courts were abolished in 1863). The notes I have left in List of federal judges appointed by William Howard Taft and List of federal judges appointed by Theodore Roosevelt should sufficiently explain the situation to readers. I will leave similar notes in McKinley's, Cleveland's and Harrison's articles as I do them over the next several days. Safiel ( talk) 19:29, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
I moved Andrew Kirkpatrick (United States federal judge) to Andrew Kirkpatrick (judge). I was able to fix almost all the incoming links except on Wikipedia:WikiProject United States courts and judges/judgestats. The page is so long, it refuses to even load properly in my browser, thus preventing me from fixing the final remaining incoming link. Not sure if it is even necessary to do so, but I will just pass that along to you just in case.

Many TV articles and GCN still assume the broadcast meaning. I'm attempting to clean it up, but am confused. Thanks. —PC -XT + 03:56, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
