In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ( pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.
To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie ( talk) 19:46, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Might be policy to move to an article's talk page, but since the article ( Dream With Me) has extremely little in terms of editorship, I'm not sure if it'll get much - if any - discussion except maybe one or two people. CycloneGU ( talk) 06:36, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Anthony,
Please stop adding a section on the Inuit diet to the ketogenic diet article. This article is about a medical nutrition therapy, not about low carb, high protein diets that are ketogenic. See low-carbohydrate diet. I'd expect an administrator to know better than adding unsourced sections to an FA. Note also that WP:WEIGHT requires us to show that reliable sources discuss the Inuit diet when they are discussing this medical therapy in detail. They don't. Colin° Talk 13:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Anthony. Unfortunately the move is not uncontroversial. The bird project fully capitalises all bird species, and this is accepted as an exception to the usual lc convention, including at WP:FAC.

First, to address a little history, intra-editorially: You may have made my day with this: "Some sort of page is needed here", courtesy you, April 2011, Security Industry Association article created. I don't know if you remember my involvement in this re: "Security" v "Securities" industry associations tangle. I don't even remember a lot of it. But, for my part, before I found the new Security IA article in the process of writing this note tonight, my heart had sunk when I found that SIA was why your name sounded familiar. I'd come upon your name in this much bigger naming wrangle over at Xe/Blackwater.
Well, I did weigh in on Xe/Blackwater naming, here; then decided to write you. (It may not even be my first time on Xe. I've definitely been in that neighborhood in the past. That's why I went back there today, with the "move to DC" article.) To you:
I didn't try to figure out what you'd gone through or where you stood back in '09 on Xe. I felt you were trying to move toward Xe.
Meanwhile, back to SIA. Yeh, your April creation is (still) just a stub. It had actually had little interest to me, as such (I had come at it from the Securities IA side (which had been misnamed Security IA, as I recall it)) and I was so frazzled after the go-rounds that I never figured out how to, or never tried to, do what you did in April. Maybe now I'll go back, build up the stub some just for old times' sake. Least I can do, right? But for now, Thank you! How could you possibly follow-up so nicely six months later? I have to wonder. It makes my head spin, given the obvious scale of your overall Wiki endeavor.
Aargh. ... Now I'm confused again, with this, April 2011, Securities Industry Association article ALSO then created by you? Wasn't there one with older roots? Wow. You had to do the SIA disambig., too, in April, from scratch re: these two, I guess. Well, frazzled I was. "Scorched earth" has now come to mind (with specific memories still blessedly minimal; does this mean there was no article by either name from Oct. to April? sort of looks that way; if you're interested, I think there was some more history on Securities Industry Association, under the Security IA name, if you wanted to & could dig it up). Well, ...
... anyway. Heartened at your willingness nay inclination (nay eagerness?) to wade back in to old tangles, I (sorry, sort of frazzled again,) hereby post this (as, hopefully, something better than nothing).
Cheers. Swliv ( talk) 02:44, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Opposition to the legalisation of abortion". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by August 1, 2011.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Hi Anthony, thank you for removing the false information in my request of 20th July, headed 'Error on a disambiguation page'. Yes, "no such report" should have been "no such support"; apologies for the typo. I have a further request: on the actual Peace Oil (UK) page, it states that "the oil was launched at an Israel Expo Day organised by the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland". Dame Hilary Blume, the director of the Charities Advisory Trust, has told me that this is also untrue. There is no connection between Peace Oil (UK) and the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. Peace Oil was sold at a stall at the Israel Expo Day, just as it is sold through many other outlets, such as churches, synagogues and shops. However, the idea was launched at a reception at the House of Commons on 5th November 2001. The first batch went on sale in 2006. CAT2011 ( talk) 15:31, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
The request for formal mediation concerning Opposition to the legalisation of abortion, to which you were listed as a party, has been declined. To read an explanation by the Mediation Committee for the rejection of this request, see the mediation request page, which will be deleted by an administrator after a reasonable time. Please direct questions relating to this request to the Chairman of the Committee, or to the mailing list. For more information on forms of dispute resolution, other than formal mediation, that are available, see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Pitchblend requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

I don't routinely monitor the requested moves page so I was caught unaware when this so-called uncontroversial request was made. I've moved WNWC (AM) back to its proper name as there are no FCC-licensed radio stations in the United States with a legal -AM suffix to their call signs. Per Wikipedia and WP:WPRS naming conventions, when a two or more stations share a base call sign, the article is disambiguated with the type of broadcasting (usually AM for AM/FM combos, sometimes FM for FM/TV combos) and a disambiguation page is created at the base call sign. There are countless examples of this for radio station articles from coast to coast. - Dravecky ( talk) 05:59, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in replying (various matters have kept me away from Wikipedia). Firstly Hekerui's remark was, I think, intended to be addressed to me, although he appeared to address it to Anthony. Hence the obvious confusion going on here. I am, of course, aware that it would be possible to put an article talk page note referring to the sandbox version for the full article history, but I'm reluctant to leave what looks like a full mainspace article lying around indefinitely in user space, solely in order to keep a record of the history. Deleting the sandbox version isn't great either. From my point of view, a history merge would be the best solution, but if that is not possible because of WP:Parallel histories, or if it is simply too much work, I will accept your (Anthony's) decision and have to ponder what to do. (For the record, there is almost nothing in common between the previous version of the article (or any of its history) and the current one. If the AfD had succeeded, that would have neatly solved the problem.) -- NSH001 ( talk) 18:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

5 O'clock (song) with a move proposal together at
5 O'clock (song)'s talk page here:
Talk:5 O'clock (song)#Requested move 2. I asked on said talk page whether or not I should do so and waited 24 hrs with no response so I just went ahead and did it. There is also new evidence to consider regarding why they should be moved and my move proposal involves slightly different proposed names then others have proposed before. I hope that this helps make things clearer for everyone and not more confusing :-)
I am letting all the editors who were involved in recent discussions know.
Please see the talk page for more info.

Hi there! My name is Whenaxis, I noticed that you are on the Mediation Committee. I created a policy proposal called Wikipedia:Representation. I think that this policy would help the Mediation Committee as well as the Arbitration Committee because the goal of this proposed policy is to decrease the amount of time wasted when an unfamiliar editor files a Mediation or Arbitration Committee when other forms of Dispute Resolution have not yet been sought. For example, an editor may come to the Mediation Committee requesting formal mediation when other dispute resolution areas have not been utilised such as third opinions or request for comments. A representative works much like a legal aid - there to help you for free and:
This proposed idea can also help the editor seeking help because it can alleviate the stress and anxiety from dispute resolution because mediation and arbitration can be intimidating for those who are unfamiliar.
I would highly appreciate your comments on this proposal at: Wikipedia talk:Representation. Cheers and Happy New Year - Whenaxis about talk contribs 22:35, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles ( pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

Anthony,
Please stop adding a section on the Inuit diet to the ketogenic diet article. This article is about a medical nutrition therapy, not about low carb, high protein diets that are ketogenic. See low-carbohydrate diet. I'd expect an administrator to know better than adding unsourced sections to an FA. Note also that WP:WEIGHT requires us to show that reliable sources discuss the Inuit diet when they are discussing this medical therapy in detail. They don't. Colin° Talk 13:13, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

First, to address a little history, intra-editorially: You may have made my day with this: "Some sort of page is needed here", courtesy you, April 2011, Security Industry Association article created. I don't know if you remember my involvement in this re: "Security" v "Securities" industry associations tangle. I don't even remember a lot of it. But, for my part, before I found the new Security IA article in the process of writing this note tonight, my heart had sunk when I found that SIA was why your name sounded familiar. I'd come upon your name in this much bigger naming wrangle over at Xe/Blackwater.
Well, I did weigh in on Xe/Blackwater naming, here; then decided to write you. (It may not even be my first time on Xe. I've definitely been in that neighborhood in the past. That's why I went back there today, with the "move to DC" article.) To you:
I didn't try to figure out what you'd gone through or where you stood back in '09 on Xe. I felt you were trying to move toward Xe.
Meanwhile, back to SIA. Yeh, your April creation is (still) just a stub. It had actually had little interest to me, as such (I had come at it from the Securities IA side (which had been misnamed Security IA, as I recall it)) and I was so frazzled after the go-rounds that I never figured out how to, or never tried to, do what you did in April. Maybe now I'll go back, build up the stub some just for old times' sake. Least I can do, right? But for now, Thank you! How could you possibly follow-up so nicely six months later? I have to wonder. It makes my head spin, given the obvious scale of your overall Wiki endeavor.
Aargh. ... Now I'm confused again, with this, April 2011, Securities Industry Association article ALSO then created by you? Wasn't there one with older roots? Wow. You had to do the SIA disambig., too, in April, from scratch re: these two, I guess. Well, frazzled I was. "Scorched earth" has now come to mind (with specific memories still blessedly minimal; does this mean there was no article by either name from Oct. to April? sort of looks that way; if you're interested, I think there was some more history on Securities Industry Association, under the Security IA name, if you wanted to & could dig it up). Well, ...
... anyway. Heartened at your willingness nay inclination (nay eagerness?) to wade back in to old tangles, I (sorry, sort of frazzled again,) hereby post this (as, hopefully, something better than nothing).
Cheers. Swliv ( talk) 02:44, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Opposition to the legalisation of abortion". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by August 1, 2011.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Hi Anthony, thank you for removing the false information in my request of 20th July, headed 'Error on a disambiguation page'. Yes, "no such report" should have been "no such support"; apologies for the typo. I have a further request: on the actual Peace Oil (UK) page, it states that "the oil was launched at an Israel Expo Day organised by the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland". Dame Hilary Blume, the director of the Charities Advisory Trust, has told me that this is also untrue. There is no connection between Peace Oil (UK) and the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland. Peace Oil was sold at a stall at the Israel Expo Day, just as it is sold through many other outlets, such as churches, synagogues and shops. However, the idea was launched at a reception at the House of Commons on 5th November 2001. The first batch went on sale in 2006. CAT2011 ( talk) 15:31, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
The request for formal mediation concerning Opposition to the legalisation of abortion, to which you were listed as a party, has been declined. To read an explanation by the Mediation Committee for the rejection of this request, see the mediation request page, which will be deleted by an administrator after a reasonable time. Please direct questions relating to this request to the Chairman of the Committee, or to the mailing list. For more information on forms of dispute resolution, other than formal mediation, that are available, see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Pitchblend requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

I don't routinely monitor the requested moves page so I was caught unaware when this so-called uncontroversial request was made. I've moved WNWC (AM) back to its proper name as there are no FCC-licensed radio stations in the United States with a legal -AM suffix to their call signs. Per Wikipedia and WP:WPRS naming conventions, when a two or more stations share a base call sign, the article is disambiguated with the type of broadcasting (usually AM for AM/FM combos, sometimes FM for FM/TV combos) and a disambiguation page is created at the base call sign. There are countless examples of this for radio station articles from coast to coast. - Dravecky ( talk) 05:59, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in replying (various matters have kept me away from Wikipedia). Firstly Hekerui's remark was, I think, intended to be addressed to me, although he appeared to address it to Anthony. Hence the obvious confusion going on here. I am, of course, aware that it would be possible to put an article talk page note referring to the sandbox version for the full article history, but I'm reluctant to leave what looks like a full mainspace article lying around indefinitely in user space, solely in order to keep a record of the history. Deleting the sandbox version isn't great either. From my point of view, a history merge would be the best solution, but if that is not possible because of WP:Parallel histories, or if it is simply too much work, I will accept your (Anthony's) decision and have to ponder what to do. (For the record, there is almost nothing in common between the previous version of the article (or any of its history) and the current one. If the AfD had succeeded, that would have neatly solved the problem.) -- NSH001 ( talk) 18:47, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

But yours currently contains a bit of vandalism, from this edit way back in April 2010. From what I know of you, you deserve better, so I'm going to revert it.
If I'm wrong and you actually wanted to keep it, well ... That would mean you're stranger than I took you for.

![]() | On 27 November 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article 2011 M5 motorway crash, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the use of fireworks has been investigated as a possible cause of the recent 34 vehicle pile-up on the M5 motorway (accident site pictured) in Taunton, Somerset? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2011 M5 motorway crash.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Thanks for uploading File:Aa 2workman with salvuses on cleanup job.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description.

I hope this is ok, but I have re-listed the articles
5 O'Clock and
5 O'clock (song) with a move proposal together at
5 O'clock (song)'s talk page here:
Talk:5 O'clock (song)#Requested move 2. I asked on said talk page whether or not I should do so and waited 24 hrs with no response so I just went ahead and did it. There is also new evidence to consider regarding why they should be moved and my move proposal involves slightly different proposed names then others have proposed before. I hope that this helps make things clearer for everyone and not more confusing :-)
I am letting all the editors who were involved in recent discussions know.
Please see the talk page for more info.
Thanks,

The dust had barely settled on my screw-up, doing a cut-and-paste to change the title of Shark Island (Extermination camp) to Shark Island Extermination Camp, when the history was merged back again. Thank you for your help, and -- again -- I apologize for my mistake! Best wishes, Virago250 ( talk) 07:13, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the histmerge. Wish there was a bit that would allow me to do that without having to become an admin. :-) Yworo ( talk) 23:17, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
Greatly appreciate your intervention in reverting that anon user [13] that never does anything constructive except trolling users for any perceived infringement. MonkeyKingBar ( talk) 23:36, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Hello!
Could you have a look at Mike's talk page, chapter Yarlung Tsangpo, as the discussion is mentioning a move that you have made back in 2009. Thanks,-- Pseudois ( talk) 16:42, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi there! My name is Whenaxis, I noticed that you are on the Mediation Committee. I created a policy proposal called Wikipedia:Representation. I think that this policy would help the Mediation Committee as well as the Arbitration Committee because the goal of this proposed policy is to decrease the amount of time wasted when an unfamiliar editor files a Mediation or Arbitration Committee when other forms of Dispute Resolution have not yet been sought. For example, an editor may come to the Mediation Committee requesting formal mediation when other dispute resolution areas have not been utilised such as third opinions or request for comments. A representative works much like a legal aid - there to help you for free and:
This proposed idea can also help the editor seeking help because it can alleviate the stress and anxiety from dispute resolution because mediation and arbitration can be intimidating for those who are unfamiliar.
I would highly appreciate your comments on this proposal at: Wikipedia talk:Representation. Cheers and Happy New Year - Whenaxis about talk contribs 22:35, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
