Hi. I saw you draftified Mount Tamana - I might have done the same but for the fact that it has previously been draftified, and articles can't be moved to draftspace twice per WP:DRAFTOBJECT. Curb Safe Charmer ( talk) 16:37, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
I noticed you're an admin who has posted on Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion and I am puzzled about a newly-created category that has popped-up on my radar, I admit, I know hardly anything about categories and how to create them...but this one just doesn't make sense to me. Could you maybe take a look at Category:Assassinated subnational legislators and tell me if it is a viable category? For instance, I am not sure either Abraham Lincoln or James A Garfield belong in it. Yes, they were at one time members of state legislatures but at the time of their deaths they weren't. Same with Anton Cermak...yes, he was a past member of the Illinois House of Representatives but he was Mayor of Chicago when he was killed and so on. I would have posted about this on an actual Categories talk page somewhere but I couldn't figure out where to post about it so here I am. Thanks in advance for any help on this - Shearonink ( talk) 01:53, 14 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey, I'd like to apologize for what seems to be a misunderstanding. I did not have the intention of renaming the page when I did. I assumed it was the same fella who renamed the categories. It was renaming of the categories that I objected to since it made it inconsistant with the other categories of Los Angeles neighborhoods.
I'm only renaming one category now, the one about "People from Van Nuys" to make it consistant with the others about people particular neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Just wanted to give you a heads-up. -- Omnis Scientia ( talk) 04:58, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status.

Hi Amakuru, I'm thinking about, after more than 15 years on Wikipedia, of applying for the admin bit. Given this, I've decided to start closing RM discussions as to date I've been limiting mostly to responding to technical requests. If you have time, would you be able to have a think if there is anything that might prevent a successful bid in my editing and is there anything you think I should be working on? I'm not planning on running in the near future, but let's say within a year or so...also, when the time comes would you consider nominating me. Other admins that might also know me well include Rosguill and Barkeep49. Best wishes Polyamorph ( talk) 08:58, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work,
BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hi Amakuru, I made the series of moves following splitting out List of natural disasters in Ireland from List of natural disasters in the British Isles, where I noticed on the latter that there more articles using "British Isles" than there were using "Great Britain and Ireland", so for the sake of WP:CONSISTENCY, I moved some of the "20xx GB and Ireland heatwave" pages to their "20xx British Isles heatwave" equivalent. I don't believe it's controversial, but obviously you disagree. Would you be open to a single, centralised RM debate on moving them?

@ Amakuru: I disagree with your recent edit for the Battle of Shiloh. (No, I did not revert it.) The sentence prior to the edited sentence states that the battle "was a major battle in the American Civil War". Tennessee had already seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy. Wouldn't it be logical for "Tennessee" to link to Tennessee in the American Civil War instead of today's state of the Tennessee that is part of the USA? It might be a little extreme in this example, but does your logic mean that a writing about a battle involving the Roman Empire should link to Italy instead of the Roman Empire?

I went ahead and downcased the main one to USFL draft. The only conceivable reason to object to that would be to spite me, as it's overwhelmingly lowercase in sources, and the only reason Amakuru had re-capped it before was because of the ongoing NFL draft discussion. If someone objects or reverts, sure, we'll do an RM and waste another whole lot of editors' time. Dicklyon ( talk) 22:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Hello. Six days ago, you closed
the move request for
2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel as "Not moved". I (uninvolved) disagree with your close and its rationale. While the majority of the participants were against the move, consensus is not determined by the number of votes for a particular side of the issue but, per
WP:DETCON, ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy.
Not only had the proponents of the move shown evidences that "7 October attack(s)" is a
WP:COMMONNAME, the opposers did not actually provide close to enough evidence for their assertions that the current title is a better one according the policies at
Wikipedia:Article titles. They did not provide evidence that the current title is natural or recognizable, which is supposed to be determined by prevalence in English RS. Their only arguments with supporting evidence are the ones regarding precision and consistency, which are less important than, per
Wikipedia:Article titles, how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject
. So, since the proponents provided more evidence, this should at least be closed as "no consensus" so that a user willing to do an exhaustive survey of English-language RS for the
WP:COMMONNAME (like myself) could have a chance to reopen the discussion and participate with better evidence rather than "not moved" which precludes further discussion on the matter for at least a few months.

I drive-by noticed the thread at Randy Kryn's talk page. Due to recent testy disputation, I don't think he wants to hear from me right now, so I'll just post here instead).
For probably the first time in a while, I'm in agreement with RK, at least as to moves of this sort being controversial and needing full RM process. We've been capitalizing most of the major arts movements for so long that I'm certain lower-casing any of them would be a disputatious RM matter, Heck, we even had a lot of pushback about some film, music, and lit genres (I remember "western" in the US frontier sense being contentious; people seemed to confuse it with the capital-W "Western" of Western culture, despite a huge gulf in meaning. I also note that MOS:MUSIC refers to classical music with a lower-case c, but it is quite frequently rendered "Classical" in various articles here. There seems to be a lot of disagreement (even if it's presently just showing up in subtopical practice and not in debate).
Unless my thinkmeat is finally failing, I'm certain we formerly (somewhere in MoS, probably at MOS:CAPS) had a provision that major arts movements were to be capitalized. I'm not sure when that went away (must have been in one of my mostly-away periods), but it would explain (along with usual MOS:SIGCAPS issues) why there's so much arts-movement capitalization on here. Such an idea to capitalize arts movements across the board would be problematic for multiple reasons, including being an unexplained categorical exception to the lead principle of MOS:CAPS, conflicting more directly with MOS:MOVEMENT (covering movements of all kinds, generally), and being incompatible especially with MOS:GENRE, in that the distinction between an arts movement and an arts genre is often illusory at best, and primilary a matter of personal viewpoint (e.g. practitioners versus critics), or of rather random convention that varies by medium, and sometimes by age of the movement/genre, and/or by whether it is widespread or (at the artist notability level) primarily confined to a limited number of famous practictioners/adherents. There's also weirdness like Art Nouveau which is a French term and in French is rendered art nouveau; the capitalization in English is just habit formed by writing things like Romanticism and Impressionism. An especial goof up is that at Art Deco we have "Arts Décoratifs", wrongly imposing English capitalization on the original French phrase.
The only thing with echos of that old MoS material I can find is (without its own shortcut) Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Visual arts#Capitalization and art movements, but – aside from somehow wanting to see "Impressionism" in particular (why was that singled out??) – it is perhaps surprisingly noncomittal and even somewhat evidence-based, though the evidence is old (in the case of the block quote apparently obsolete), of unclear authority (why do we care what "zeal.com" says?), and in the block quote somewhat nonsensical, in that the examples are wild mixture of things that are movements, or general arts periods, or general periods of history that are typically given proper-name treatment (yet it lower-cases some of them!), or misc. adjectival proper names like Gothic and Islamic; and it inconsistently treats prefixes like pre-, among other issues (like the double-extra nonsense of wanting "Middle Ages" but "medieval" when these are synonymous). I can see why the source publication removed this material, and I don't know why we're still quoting it. Surely just a factor of no one doing any work on that page in a long time. I'm about to at least improve cross-referencing to other MoS sections of pertinence. I think a talk page discussion over there about overhauling that section is probably in order.
Anyway, the main point is you should expect a bunch of debate when it comes to things like lower-casing Impressionism. After all the drama about sports [d|D]rafts, ultimately fired up by someone's manual moving, I would urge caution. And Impressionism in particular is iffy, because this section at MOS:ART says to capitalize, though on the basis of what consensus of — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to
Vami_IV (
submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five
A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two
Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on
completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his
to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi, Amakuru. I just noticed
your closure at the
RM for Frederick William IV of Prussia. I was surprised because I know you've recently weighed in in other RMs on this question (the removal of the country from the titles of articles on sovereigns) and have indicated that you hold a very clear position on this matter. Instances I'm aware of where we both commented are
Francis Phoebus of Navarre
[3],
Charles XI of Sweden
[4], and
George X of Kartli
[5]. In fact in the Phoebus RM you wrote, "The juggernaut is rolling on this one and, despite efforts to halt it, it will continue to roll."
This doesn't suggest impartiality on this matter. As such, I'd like to ask that you please revert your closure and allow the Frederick William RM to be closed by an impartial and uninvolved editor. Thanks very much.

Recalling your reversion of the page move of Abellio London, there's articles now coming out stating Abellio London will be formally renamed "Transport UK London Bus" from 2 March 2024. [1] [2] Is now a good time to move the page back to what it was moved from, or should we ideally wait until 2 March for the formal change to take effect? Also, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "agreed at an RM", so if you could link me to that discussion, I'd gladly appreciate it.

Please have a check on Talk:Persecution of Uyghurs in China/FAQ, which I think you either didn't notice or forgot about. I just did a minimal update in order for the FAQ answer to be more or less valid, but probably the wording could be improved. I think it's important that people reading that Q+A can easily find the "Logs and discussion" yellow box below that for the full list of discussions - it should be possible to insert the equivalent of an html id= tag to make that clickable, though I don't remember the current Wikipedia template or Mediawiki syntax to use.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals.

Hi, I'm new to the entire business of contested page moves—I expected changing Computer Peripherals to a less misleading title to be straightforward and completely uncontroversial, since the subject is so obviously at odds with what a reader would expect. I'm unclear what I should do at this point, if anything. Do I need to start something on the article's talk page, or back off and let the discussion on the requested moves page take its course, or what? I don't want to inadvertently mess the process up on top of the existing mess of the page names. Basically I just think the obvious meaning of an article's title should be the same as its subject.

I would have appreciated a ping when you made these changes to the hook I nominated, which I only noticed now. I see you were responding to WP:ERRORS here, but the same issue had been raised here, and discussion should have been centralized there; I considered it resolved when there were no further comments from @ Remsense or others there.
To address the other stuff besides script vs. language, yes, it is a documentary, so it is depicting an attempt that actually occurred (which I could have clarified had I been notified). And "secret" was widely used in reliable sources writing about the script/film, so if notified it would have been trivial to add it and the hook would not have had to have been weakened.

A tag has been placed on Lee's Family Foru requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by
visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

I noticed you're an admin who has posted on Wikipedia talk:Categories for discussion and I am puzzled about a newly-created category that has popped-up on my radar, I admit, I know hardly anything about categories and how to create them...but this one just doesn't make sense to me. Could you maybe take a look at Category:Assassinated subnational legislators and tell me if it is a viable category? For instance, I am not sure either Abraham Lincoln or James A Garfield belong in it. Yes, they were at one time members of state legislatures but at the time of their deaths they weren't. Same with Anton Cermak...yes, he was a past member of the Illinois House of Representatives but he was Mayor of Chicago when he was killed and so on. I would have posted about this on an actual Categories talk page somewhere but I couldn't figure out where to post about it so here I am.

Hey, I'd like to apologize for what seems to be a misunderstanding. I did not have the intention of renaming the page when I did. I assumed it was the same fella who renamed the categories.

BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors.

Hi Amakuru, I made the series of moves following splitting out List of natural disasters in Ireland from List of natural disasters in the British Isles, where I noticed on the latter that there more articles using "British Isles" than there were using "Great Britain and Ireland", so for the sake of WP:CONSISTENCY, I moved some of the "20xx GB and Ireland heatwave" pages to their "20xx British Isles heatwave" equivalent. I don't believe it's controversial, but obviously you disagree. Would you be open to a single, centralised RM debate on moving them?

@ Amakuru: I disagree with your recent edit for the Battle of Shiloh. (No, I did not revert it.) The sentence prior to the edited sentence states that the battle "was a major battle in the American Civil War". Tennessee had already seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy. Wouldn't it be logical for "Tennessee" to link to Tennessee in the American Civil War instead of today's state of the Tennessee that is part of the USA? It might be a little extreme in this example, but does your logic mean that a writing about a battle involving the Roman Empire should link to Italy instead of the Roman Empire?

You made my day by restoring the Bayreuth Festival to the tenor, - thank you. Back home, but slowly updating images, hope you see it as sharing, not trying to make you jealous. It's an island I returned to twice, and still don't feel I saw all its beauties, this time discovered the Cascadas de los Colores on 27 Jan (birthday of Mozart and our conductor) ;) - It's a steep, rough, vulcanic place with extremely windy roads which needs to be considered before going, but off the beaten track which I like. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 12:18, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to check in on this revert of my redirect. You mention the topic could be notable. Does that mean you found sources for it? If so I’d be glad if you added them. I searched and found nothing. Innisfree987 ( talk) 11:36, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
Re moves like this, is there still reason to think my moves to lowercase were controversial? Should I re-do them, or will you? Dicklyon ( talk) 11:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
I went ahead and downcased the main one to USFL draft. The only conceivable reason to object to that would be to spite me, as it's overwhelmingly lowercase in sources, and the only reason Amakuru had re-capped it before was because of the ongoing NFL draft discussion. If someone objects or reverts, sure, we'll do an RM and waste another whole lot of editors' time. Dicklyon ( talk) 22:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
Well, so much for the RM route being taken. Once again, the page-in-question has been lower-cased, unilaterally. GoodDay ( talk) 23:22, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer
Generalissima (
submissions), who has one FA on
John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

Hello. Six days ago, you closed
the move request for
2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel as "Not moved". I (uninvolved) disagree with your close and its rationale. While the majority of the participants were against the move, consensus is not determined by the number of votes for a particular side of the issue but, per
WP:DETCON, ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy.
Not only had the proponents of the move shown evidences that "7 October attack(s)" is a
WP:COMMONNAME, the opposers did not actually provide close to enough evidence for their assertions that the current title is a better one according the policies at
Wikipedia:Article titles. They did not provide evidence that the current title is natural or recognizable, which is supposed to be determined by prevalence in English RS. Their only arguments with supporting evidence are the ones regarding precision and consistency, which are less important than, per
Wikipedia:Article titles, how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject
. So, since the proponents provided more evidence, this should at least be closed as "no consensus" so that a user willing to do an exhaustive survey of English-language RS for the
WP:COMMONNAME (like myself) could have a chance to reopen the discussion and participate with better evidence rather than "not moved" which precludes further discussion on the matter for at least a few months.

I drive-by noticed the thread at Randy Kryn's talk page. Due to recent testy disputation, I don't think he wants to hear from me right now, so I'll just post here instead).
For probably the first time in a while, I'm in agreement with RK, at least as to moves of this sort being controversial and needing full RM process. We've been capitalizing most of the major arts movements for so long that I'm certain lower-casing any of them would be a disputatious RM matter, Heck, we even had a lot of pushback about some film, music, and lit genres (I remember "western" in the US frontier sense being contentious; people seemed to confuse it with the capital-W "Western" of Western culture, despite a huge gulf in meaning. I also note that MOS:MUSIC refers to classical music with a lower-case c, but it is quite frequently rendered "Classical" in various articles here. There seems to be a lot of disagreement (even if it's presently just showing up in subtopical practice and not in debate).
Unless my thinkmeat is finally failing, I'm certain we formerly (somewhere in MoS, probably at MOS:CAPS) had a provision that major arts movements were to be capitalized. I'm not sure when that went away (must have been in one of my mostly-away periods), but it would explain (along with usual MOS:SIGCAPS issues) why there's so much arts-movement capitalization on here. Such an idea to capitalize arts movements across the board would be problematic for multiple reasons, including being an unexplained categorical exception to the lead principle of MOS:CAPS, conflicting more directly with MOS:MOVEMENT (covering movements of all kinds, generally), and being incompatible especially with MOS:GENRE, in that the distinction between an arts movement and an arts genre is often illusory at best, and primilary a matter of personal viewpoint (e.g. practitioners versus critics), or of rather random convention that varies by medium, and sometimes by age of the movement/genre, and/or by whether it is widespread or (at the artist notability level) primarily confined to a limited number of famous practictioners/adherents. There's also weirdness like Art Nouveau which is a French term and in French is rendered art nouveau; the capitalization in English is just habit formed by writing things like Romanticism and Impressionism. An especial goof up is that at Art Deco we have "Arts Décoratifs", wrongly imposing English capitalization on the original French phrase.
The only thing with echos of that old MoS material I can find is (without its own shortcut) Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Visual arts#Capitalization and art movements, but – aside from somehow wanting to see "Impressionism" in particular (why was that singled out??) – it is perhaps surprisingly noncomittal and even somewhat evidence-based, though the evidence is old (in the case of the block quote apparently obsolete), of unclear authority (why do we care what "zeal.com" says?), and in the block quote somewhat nonsensical, in that the examples are wild mixture of things that are movements, or general arts periods, or general periods of history that are typically given proper-name treatment (yet it lower-cases some of them!), or misc. adjectival proper names like Gothic and Islamic; and it inconsistently treats prefixes like pre-, among other issues (like the double-extra nonsense of wanting "Middle Ages" but "medieval" when these are synonymous). I can see why the source publication removed this material, and I don't know why we're still quoting it. Surely just a factor of no one doing any work on that page in a long time. I'm about to at least improve cross-referencing to other MoS sections of pertinence. I think a talk page discussion over there about overhauling that section is probably in order.
Anyway, the main point is you should expect a bunch of debate when it comes to things like lower-casing Impressionism. After all the drama about sports [d|D]rafts, ultimately fired up by someone's manual moving, I would urge caution. And Impressionism in particular is iffy, because this section at MOS:ART says to capitalize, though on the basis of what consensus of — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 21:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to
Vami_IV (
submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five
A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two
Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on
completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his
to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points.

Hi, Amakuru. I just noticed
your closure at the
RM for Frederick William IV of Prussia. I was surprised because I know you've recently weighed in in other RMs on this question (the removal of the country from the titles of articles on sovereigns) and have indicated that you hold a very clear position on this matter. Instances I'm aware of where we both commented are
Francis Phoebus of Navarre
[3],
Charles XI of Sweden
[4], and
George X of Kartli
[5]. In fact in the Phoebus RM you wrote, "The juggernaut is rolling on this one and, despite efforts to halt it, it will continue to roll."
This doesn't suggest impartiality on this matter. As such, I'd like to ask that you please revert your closure and allow the Frederick William RM to be closed by an impartial and uninvolved editor. Thanks very much.

Recalling your reversion of the page move of Abellio London, there's articles now coming out stating Abellio London will be formally renamed "Transport UK London Bus" from 2 March 2024. [1] [2] Is now a good time to move the page back to what it was moved from, or should we ideally wait until 2 March for the formal change to take effect?

Hi, I'm new to the entire business of contested page moves—I expected changing Computer Peripherals to a less misleading title to be straightforward and completely uncontroversial, since the subject is so obviously at odds with what a reader would expect. I'm unclear what I should do at this point, if anything. Do I need to start something on the article's talk page, or back off and let the discussion on the requested moves page take its course, or what? I don't want to inadvertently mess the process up on top of the existing mess of the page names. Basically I just think the obvious meaning of an article's title should be the same as its subject.

I would have appreciated a ping when you made these changes to the hook I nominated, which I only noticed now. I see you were responding to WP:ERRORS here, but the same issue had been raised here, and discussion should have been centralized there; I considered it resolved when there were no further comments from @ Remsense or others there.
To address the other stuff besides script vs. language, yes, it is a documentary, so it is depicting an attempt that actually occurred (which I could have clarified had I been notified). And "secret" was widely used in reliable sources writing about the script/film, so if notified it would have been trivial to add it and the hook would not have had to have been weakened.
