Hi Amakuru,
Now that the aricle's been moved, you might want to go through the 350 links to Saint-Denis and verify that they should rd to Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis. (We can't very well automate it, as many may have been at the wrong link to begin with.) — kwami ( talk) 23:02, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Amakuru. Just a heads-up that I think I'll have to nominate Rwanda for a featured article review soon. It's been months since I originally posted my concerns about the article, and there hasn't been much progress in addressing them. Hopefully a FAR will prompt some progress and the article will emerge stronger from the review. Cordless Larry ( talk) 10:20, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
I have nominated Rwanda for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. 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" the article's featured status.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A46 road, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page A46.

It's not that Rwandan Genocide is considered "not noteworthy". It's just that it was rotated out for this year. We had a 20-year anniversary event included and for chronological diversity, Rwanda got moved out. It will make it back in there in the future.

Hi. Regarding your reversion at 1998 FIFA World Cup - we sort of discussed the issue at User talk:Illegitimate Barrister#Scotland flags, and I edited a lot more articles besides that one (though by no means all of them) to replace the default flag with the "1542" variant.

Hello, I noticed that you renamed the PAW Patrol article so that "PAW" is written as "Paw." However, this series' title is not simply a stylization; according to trademarks filed by Spin Master (you can view these here), "PAW" is an acronym standing for "Pups At Work" and "Protect And Wag." The title has also been trademarked with periods (as "P.A.W. Patrol") to reflect how it is an acronym and not simply stylized in all capitals. Please consider changing the article's title back, as keeping "Paw" lowercase is incorrect. Thank you! -- Squiddaddy ( talk) 20:56, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, on these page moves. It's very unusual to use years of birth and death to disambiguate. Typically we would use (..., born xxx). See WP:NCPDAB.
But to be honest, I would find it more natural to disambiguate them as (priest) and (archbishop). Given the difference in hierarchy, it would be clear which is which. -- Midas02 ( talk) 03:05, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Amaruku,
concerning your answer to my request to remove the TH Köln-Page: Gernerally I agree, but it was just on September 1, 2015, that Cologne University of Applied Sciences changed its name to Technische Hochschule Köln – abbreviated TH Köln. The official english name ist "TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences", there was not yet the possibility to create a "common name" like "technical university of cologne" in english. Furthermore, in Germany there are different types of universities: common universities and universities of applied sciences. TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences ist not a common university, therefore it is completely wrong to talk about a "technical university". The name "technical university of cologne" is misleading, please change the uncommon name to the official name and move the page to the new name.

Hi. Since you recently closed a move discussion for Real Robot, I’m just notifying you of an RFC on that title. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 21:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello. You closed the discussion on moving the pages on the first through ninth millennia. Does it make no difference that the reliable sources are virtually unanimous, that numbers of centuries and millennia (and all ordinal numbers) under ten should be written in words? See the examples I posted here. This is a very common, practically universal, convention in publishing and academic writing, and it should be followed here, even if a vocal crowd on Wikipedia disagree. I realize that a majority of commenters opposed the proposal, and that further discussion on that page is likely to be fruitless; but I want to go about this the right way, which, as I understand it, requires me to bring the matter up with you on your talk page, before I go any farther.

Hey Amakuru! I wanted to get more of an idea why you decide to move the pages chronic disease into one page as chronic condition. I find this quite odd since chronic condition isn't a term used as much as chronic disease. I feel these two should either remain separate or should be renamed to chronic disease as for those who search for topics about chronic "conditions" would probably use the more appropriate/common term: chronic disease. Thank you! Gurshawnstuteja ( talk) 17:51, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi. I've commented on your closure of the page (to Montgomery bus boycott) on the talk page, and ask if you could give more reasoning there for this close. It's such a major event in world history (in retrospect), and probably should, at a minimum, be explained further. I'd also like to take it to the next appeal level, but am not quite sure what that would be. Thanks. Randy Kryn 21:57, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I reverted your move. The RM called for the "Bronx" disambiguator. The stations' articles are very unlikely to be confused, because if one is indeed searching for the station, they will be looking for "Gun Hill Road station," not "Gun Hill Road". The Google Results for "Gun Hill Road" will show the road first, not the stations.
In any case, they'd be searching for "Gun Hill Road 2 train" or "Gun Hill Road 5 train" depending on the line they are looking for.

I happened to notice this when checking your editing for RfA: User:Amakuru/Luc Marchal. It looks nearly ready to go, he's certainly notable and it is mostly well sourced. I added an inline citation to an AP report on the court martial. The draft says there was a 2007 Belgian senate report, but the one I found was 1997: http://www.senate.be/english/rwanda.html. Is that what was meant or was there another later report? Another of the reference links is now not working. p.s. Good luck! Fences& Windows 20:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi again Amakuru. For some reason, I didn't receive a notification of your reply to my RfA question. Thanks for your response, though. I think I broadly agree, although I sometimes feel that responses from admins are slow to materialise at AN/I (e.g. in the Middayexpress case I was involved in last year, which you may remember due to your involvement in the debate over the appropriate title of the article now at Piracy off the coast of Somalia). Anyway, I don't want to engage you in a lengthy discussion about this now as you clearly have lots on your plate with the RfA. At least having more admins should in theory help speed up responses on the noticeboards. Best of luck with your nomination. Cordless Larry ( talk) 21:16, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

I think your close rationale misses some very basic points. 1) WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS all support capitalization of proper names. This is often confused with proper nouns, but they are not the same. "South Africa" is a proper name and is always capitalzed. Common names have a property where the words can be reordered without losing their definition (i.e. "the southern nation in Africa, Africa's southern nation are the same meaning through common names but not the same as "South Africa" which is a proper name). Similarly a "warrior for social justice" does not convey the same meaning as "Social Justice Warrior" which is a proper name with a pejorative overtone (our article covers the term in this way). If you call someone a "Social Justice Warrior" you are lumping them with a group with that proper name, even though it is pejorative. This is grammar. 2) the reliable sources were outlined in the first paragraph with much more hits for "Social Justice Warrior." 3) inclusion in the dictionary is definitive in that it describes a proper name (the whole phrase is considered one noun, not 3 nouns). -- DHeyward ( talk) 21:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in sources are treated as proper names and capitalized in Wikipedia, and the majority of the participants at the move discussion felt that this was not satisfied. Thanks — Amakuru ( talk) 21:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

People aren't allowed to disagree with something here without an admin (of all people) showing up with insulting little barbs like this? (And people wonder why Wikipedia is in decline) Perhaps you'd like to reconsider your comment? I think it was unnecessary. - theWOLFchild 10:45, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Where more than one style is acceptable under the Manual of Style, editors should not change an article from one of those styles to another without a good reason. Edit warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.It's in the very lead of that page, which happens to denote the core editing guidelines of this project. Asking that editors (and admins) abide by them is not "WP:IDLI", (or WP:BATTLE, or WP:WIN or the numerous other blue-link-essays being bandied about). The page move was not supported by guidelines or consensus, but moving it back is clearly supported by the guideline. Seems pretty straightforward.

The title has also been trademarked with periods (as "P.A.W. Patrol") to reflect how it is an acronym and not simply stylized in all capitals. Please consider changing the article's title back, as keeping "Paw" lowercase is incorrect. Thank you! -- Squiddaddy ( talk) 20:56, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, on these page moves. It's very unusual to use years of birth and death to disambiguate. Typically we would use (..., born xxx). See WP:NCPDAB.
But to be honest, I would find it more natural to disambiguate them as (priest) and (archbishop). Given the difference in hierarchy, it would be clear which is which. -- Midas02 ( talk) 03:05, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Amaruku,
concerning your answer to my request to remove the TH Köln-Page: Gernerally I agree, but it was just on September 1, 2015, that Cologne University of Applied Sciences changed its name to Technische Hochschule Köln – abbreviated TH Köln. The official english name ist "TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences", there was not yet the possibility to create a "common name" like "technical university of cologne" in english. Furthermore, in Germany there are different types of universities: common universities and universities of applied sciences. TH Köln - University of Applied Sciences ist not a common university, therefore it is completely wrong to talk about a "technical university". The name "technical university of cologne" is misleading, please change the uncommon name to the official name and move the page to the new name. Further information: https://www.th-koeln.de/en/th-koeln--new-name-specific-ambitions_29584.php, https://www.th-koeln.de/en/th-koeln_27191.php

Hi. Since you recently closed a move discussion for Real Robot, I’m just notifying you of an RFC on that title. — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 21:42, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello. You closed the discussion on moving the pages on the first through ninth millennia. Does it make no difference that the reliable sources are virtually unanimous, that numbers of centuries and millennia (and all ordinal numbers) under ten should be written in words? See the examples I posted here. This is a very common, practically universal, convention in publishing and academic writing, and it should be followed here, even if a vocal crowd on Wikipedia disagree. I realize that a majority of commenters opposed the proposal, and that further discussion on that page is likely to be fruitless; but I want to go about this the right way, which, as I understand it, requires me to bring the matter up with you on your talk page, before I go any farther.

Why was the MOS:COMMA bit removed? We still want people not to write "was born in Bloomington, Indiana and moved to"; it's ungrammatical, but people keep doing it, and will do it a whole lot more. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 20:36, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
Hey Amakuru! I wanted to get more of an idea why you decide to move the pages chronic disease into one page as chronic condition. I find this quite odd since chronic condition isn't a term used as much as chronic disease. I feel these two should either remain separate or should be renamed to chronic disease as for those who search for topics about chronic "conditions" would probably use the more appropriate/common term: chronic disease. Thank you! Gurshawnstuteja ( talk) 17:51, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi. I've commented on your closure of the page (to Montgomery bus boycott) on the talk page, and ask if you could give more reasoning there for this close. It's such a major event in world history (in retrospect), and probably should, at a minimum, be explained further. I'd also like to take it to the next appeal level, but am not quite sure what that would be. Thanks. Randy Kryn 21:57, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I reverted your move. The RM called for the "Bronx" disambiguator. The stations' articles are very unlikely to be confused, because if one is indeed searching for the station, they will be looking for "Gun Hill Road station," not "Gun Hill Road". The Google Results for "Gun Hill Road" will show the road first, not the stations.
In any case, they'd be searching for "Gun Hill Road 2 train" or "Gun Hill Road 5 train" depending on the line they are looking for.

Hi, could you revisit (part of) your close at Talk:Santa Fe Passenger Depot (Fresno)#Requested move 15 February 2016? Specifically, the part involving moving Fresno (California High-Speed Rail station) to Fresno station (California High-Speed Rail). There was support for that, and no real specific opposition, and it's the form recommended by the guideline. Thanks,-- Cúchullain t/ c 13:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
I happened to notice this when checking your editing for RfA: User:Amakuru/Luc Marchal. It looks nearly ready to go, he's certainly notable and it is mostly well sourced. I added an inline citation to an AP report on the court martial. The draft says there was a 2007 Belgian senate report, but the one I found was 1997: http://www.senate.be/english/rwanda.html. Is that what was meant or was there another later report? Another of the reference links is now not working. p.s. Good luck! Fences& Windows 20:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Hi again Amakuru. For some reason, I didn't receive a notification of your reply to my RfA question. Thanks for your response, though. I think I broadly agree, although I sometimes feel that responses from admins are slow to materialise at AN/I (e.g. in the Middayexpress case I was involved in last year, which you may remember due to your involvement in the debate over the appropriate title of the article now at Piracy off the coast of Somalia). Anyway, I don't want to engage you in a lengthy discussion about this now as you clearly have lots on your plate with the RfA. At least having more admins should in theory help speed up responses on the noticeboards. Best of luck with your nomination. Cordless Larry ( talk) 21:16, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

I think your close rationale misses some very basic points. 1) WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS all support capitalization of proper names. This is often confused with proper nouns, but they are not the same. "South Africa" is a proper name and is always capitalzed. Common names have a property where the words can be reordered without losing their definition (i.e. "the southern nation in Africa, Africa's southern nation are the same meaning through common names but not the same as "South Africa" which is a proper name). Similarly a "warrior for social justice" does not convey the same meaning as "Social Justice Warrior" which is a proper name with a pejorative overtone (our article covers the term in this way). If you call someone a "Social Justice Warrior" you are lumping them with a group with that proper name, even though it is pejorative. This is grammar. 2) the reliable sources were outlined in the first paragraph with much more hits for "Social Justice Warrior." 3) inclusion in the dictionary is definitive in that it describes a proper name (the whole phrase is considered one noun, not 3 nouns). -- DHeyward ( talk) 21:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in sources are treated as proper names and capitalized in Wikipedia, and the majority of the participants at the move discussion felt that this was not satisfied. Thanks — Amakuru ( talk) 21:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

People aren't allowed to disagree with something here without an admin (of all people) showing up with insulting little barbs like this? (And people wonder why Wikipedia is in decline) Perhaps you'd like to reconsider your comment? I think it was unnecessary. - theWOLFchild 10:45, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Where more than one style is acceptable under the Manual of Style, editors should not change an article from one of those styles to another without a good reason. Edit warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.It's in the very lead of that page, which happens to denote the core editing guidelines of this project. Asking that editors (and admins) abide by them is not "WP:IDLI", (or WP:BATTLE, or WP:WIN or the numerous other blue-link-essays being bandied about). The page move was not supported by guidelines or consensus, but moving it back is clearly supported by the guideline. Seems pretty straightforward.
Hi, I noticed you declined the speedy on Jerome Spence because he had coverage in PR Newswire? I think PR Newswire is just an organ for companies to circulate press releases, not an independent journalistic outlet in itself. Would you still like me to take it to AFD?
