So you are changing back all of the weather years? Really no need to, full years are preferred. Please don't change the wars, conflicts, or illnesses, as those are consistent with full-year titles throughout. As for illness, too bad 'Spanish flu' will stay, to be consistent with Wikipedia's epidemic and other illness pages it seems it would be best at 1918-1920 Spanish flu pandemic.

Why did you change the approved hook "... that German runner Alica Schmidt, who has qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics, has won multiple European junior relay medals?" to the undiscussed ".. that German runner Alica Schmidt (pictured), who is running in the Women's 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2020 Summer Olympics, has won multiple European junior relay medals?" in transferring it from the prep area to the queue?

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

Hey man, look, I'm just trying to get the article to be as good as it can be. If you have issues with one element of a big edit, just undo that one bit, I haven't got a problem with that. But when I make a lot of changes and they get reverted because of one minor part, and then I hear you didn't even look at the rest of the changes, that doesn't feel good. I get how easy it is to just undo an edit in one fell swoop without looking over the good and bad elements - I've been guilty of it myself - but try not to. Anyway, I appreciate you taking a look when you get a chance; there's literally no rush on any of this ( WP:NODEADLINE and all that!).

Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 00:03, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
To continue this conversation here, I think your position is unsatisfactory. For example, I have just created Template:POTD/2021-10-17. The caption consists of a single sentence. The alternative name "Duomo Vecchio" is not referenced in the article, but I assume it is correct because it is the name given in the corresponding Italian Wikipedia article. Nor is the fact that it is a Catholic church cited. That it is a "Romanesque round church" is cited, but that it stands next to the new cathedral, or that the new cathedral exists at all, or that they are co-cathedrals, is not; common sense suggests that the photograph in the article of the old and new cathedrals demonstrates that they are adjacent. So the caption does not accord with the rules and should not be allowed, but I do not think that any reasonable person will object to it. Perhaps we should just abbreviate it to "A Romanesque round church in Brescia" (but was it in Brescia at all?).
As you mentioned, Gog has rewritten some instructions
With regard to the first, it makes allowance for the photographer's interpretation of what he saw, but he may not be an expert on the subject nor have correctly interpreted it. In Template:POTD/2021-09-13 for example, a lot of the blurb came from the description on this page, and it helped the viewer understand what they saw. I don't believe anyone objected to that caption but it did not accord with the rules either.
I don't really disagree with the principle of these rules, only on their too literal interpretation. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 13:33, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks for your intervention on the incident board and for your explanation of the correct procedure, which I have noted.
On further consideration, it now seems to me that I should have closed the RM with no consensus. Am I able to amend my own close? Havelock Jones ( talk) 10:17, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to go through the RM discussion at ISIL. In your
closing, you stated "the term "Islamic State" is the most common at this point, compared with ISIS...
". What evidence is there that "Islamic State" is more common than ISIS? Several users in the discussion provided evidence that "ISIS" was more common than "Islamic State" (
[1]
[2]
[3]), based on
this ngram. While many users asserted that "Islamic State" was the most common name, no one seems to have provided any stats backing up that assertion (and I don't see anyone explicitly stating that "Islamic State" was more common than ISIS). Most of the support votes for "Islamic State" seem to have come before evidence was presented that "ISIS" is the
WP:COMMONNAME.
You also said "the consensus is that the qualifier is not needed
". Can you explain that a bit? I count 7 contributors who supported using some disambiguator. Thanks for your time.
VR
talk
16:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
13 who supported the original proposal without saying there should be a qualifier". But the original proposal itself gave qualifier as an option: "
Proposal to move this article to Islamic State or some variation, such as Islamic State (organization)". So can all 13 of those be construed to mean as supporting only the unqualified name?
prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources". 7 articles can't constitute a majority on a topic that has thousands of sources. Searches like ngram, scholar etc come far closer to determining "majority", despite their limitations. I also don't see "
editors continued to favour "Islamic State" over "ISIS" even after that". After 99to99 presented the ngrams on Sep 13 [4], 3 believed "ISIS" was the commonname (99to99, the IP and I), 3 believed that "Islamic State" was (indopug, Ecpiandy and Shadow4dark), and one ambiguous (Mhhossein). Does that not indicate a shift in consensus? I understand WP:SUPERVOTE precludes closing it for "ISIS". What about letting the discussion continue? Or suggesting " a clear new course of RM action" that would allow for more focused "Islamic State" vs "ISIS" discussion? Thanks again. VR talk 16:03, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

I have jumped the gun and promoted this, thinking that you had signed off on the source formatting. Entirely my fault for misreading. How serious is what is left? I was about to revert all of the "paperwork", but if the outstanding issues are minor and Lee is on top of them, perhaps I don't need to. What do you think? Thanks.

It looked mighty strange and you were online so I thought I'd ask about this editors series of user moves. Especially this change.

The fourth round of the competition has finished with over 500 points being required to qualify for the final round. It was a hotly competitive round with two contestants, The Rambling Man and Epicgenius, each scoring over 3000 points, and six contestants scoring over 1000. All but one of the finalists achieved one or more FAs during the round, the exception being Bloom6132 who demonstrated that 61 "in the news" items produces an impressive number of points. Other contestants who made it to the final are Gog the Mild, Lee Vilenski, BennyOnTheLoose, Amakuru and Hog Farm. However, all their points are now swept away and everyone starts afresh in the final round.
Round 4 saw the achievement of 18 featured articles and 157 good articles. Bilorv scored for a 25-article good topic on Black Mirror but narrowly missed out on qualifying for the final round. There was enthusiasm for FARs, with 89 being performed, and there were 63 GARs and around 100 DYKs during the round. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it to the final round; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. For other contestants, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.

Hey man, look, I'm just trying to get the article to be as good as it can be. If you have issues with one element of a big edit, just undo that one bit, I haven't got a problem with that. But when I make a lot of changes and they get reverted because of one minor part, and then I hear you didn't even look at the rest of the changes, that doesn't feel good. I get how easy it is to just undo an edit in one fell swoop without looking over the good and bad elements - I've been guilty of it myself - but try not to. Anyway, I appreciate you taking a look when you get a chance; there's literally no rush on any of this ( WP:NODEADLINE and all that!). Good luck with the rest of the GAN. – Pee Jay 22:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 00:03, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
To continue this conversation here, I think your position is unsatisfactory. For example, I have just created Template:POTD/2021-10-17. The caption consists of a single sentence. The alternative name "Duomo Vecchio" is not referenced in the article, but I assume it is correct because it is the name given in the corresponding Italian Wikipedia article. Nor is the fact that it is a Catholic church cited. That it is a "Romanesque round church" is cited, but that it stands next to the new cathedral, or that the new cathedral exists at all, or that they are co-cathedrals, is not; common sense suggests that the photograph in the article of the old and new cathedrals demonstrates that they are adjacent. So the caption does not accord with the rules and should not be allowed, but I do not think that any reasonable person will object to it. Perhaps we should just abbreviate it to "A Romanesque round church in Brescia" (but was it in Brescia at all?).
As you mentioned, Gog has rewritten some instructions
With regard to the first, it makes allowance for the photographer's interpretation of what he saw, but he may not be an expert on the subject nor have correctly interpreted it. In Template:POTD/2021-09-13 for example, a lot of the blurb came from the description on this page, and it helped the viewer understand what they saw. I don't believe anyone objected to that caption but it did not accord with the rules either.
I don't really disagree with the principle of these rules, only on their too literal interpretation. Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 13:33, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Many thanks for your intervention on the incident board and for your explanation of the correct procedure, which I have noted.
On further consideration, it now seems to me that I should have closed the RM with no consensus. Am I able to amend my own close? Havelock Jones ( talk) 10:17, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to go through the RM discussion at ISIL. In your
closing, you stated "the term "Islamic State" is the most common at this point, compared with ISIS...
". What evidence is there that "Islamic State" is more common than ISIS? Several users in the discussion provided evidence that "ISIS" was more common than "Islamic State" (
[1]
[2]
[3]), based on
this ngram. While many users asserted that "Islamic State" was the most common name, no one seems to have provided any stats backing up that assertion (and I don't see anyone explicitly stating that "Islamic State" was more common than ISIS). Most of the support votes for "Islamic State" seem to have come before evidence was presented that "ISIS" is the
WP:COMMONNAME.
You also said "the consensus is that the qualifier is not needed
". Can you explain that a bit? I count 7 contributors who supported using some disambiguator. Thanks for your time.

16:47, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
13 who supported the original proposal without saying there should be a qualifier". But the original proposal itself gave qualifier as an option: "
Proposal to move this article to Islamic State or some variation, such as Islamic State (organization)". So can all 13 of those be construed to mean as supporting only the unqualified name?
prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources". 7 articles can't constitute a majority on a topic that has thousands of sources. Searches like ngram, scholar etc come far closer to determining "majority", despite their limitations. I also don't see "
editors continued to favour "Islamic State" over "ISIS" even after that". After 99to99 presented the ngrams on Sep 13 [4], 3 believed "ISIS" was the commonname (99to99, the IP and I), 3 believed that "Islamic State" was (indopug, Ecpiandy and Shadow4dark), and one ambiguous (Mhhossein). Does that not indicate a shift in consensus? I understand WP:SUPERVOTE precludes closing it for "ISIS". What about letting the discussion continue? Or suggesting " a clear new course of RM action" that would allow for more focused "Islamic State" vs "ISIS" discussion? Thanks again. VR talk 16:03, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
