Thanks for the nominations of Paul Bedson's articles. I see he's taken them in good spirit, but I think he should know better. He has a huge COI in this area. And, as I see you noticed them through DYK, I should say I've been unhappy with most of his DYK nominations as the ones I've encountered have pushed the same fringe pov.

Hello Brown Haired Girl. Thanks for the Consul WL correction. I must have been half asleep when I worked on that article. A personal question? Are you really a blond haired girl? I have got an impression, I don't know why, that there are very few female admins in WP; is that right?

Hi BrownHairedGirl! It appears we have a slight issue over at second(-)language acquisition. The requested move at Talk:Second-language acquisition#Requested move was closed as "not moved", so it stays at the hyphenated title, but I see that you closed the CfD discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 August 12 as "rename", so the category is now hyphenless. This isn't a criticism of your close at all, and I would have closed it the same way; the problem seems to be that it was completely different sets of people commenting in the two discussions about the same thing. The reason I'm messaging you is that I'm not sure what the protocol is in this kind of situation. What do you think would be the best thing to do about it? Maybe take it to Wikipedia:Move review? Let me know if you have any good suggestions. :) Best — Mr. Stradivarius ( have a chat) 12:21, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

I thought maybe you could look into the articles this editor [1] created. I nominated their 6 creations for speedy deletion under G3 because I couldn't independently verify any of it.

I realize your concerns over miscategorization. I'm reluctant to change the term because the literature prefers the use of the term as a good way to sum up the transition from two very different views of the universe. I like the Classical/Modern distinction, and I hope you understand that it is most definitely not an arbitrary division. Post-Newtonian sounds more awkward than modern.

Although I disagree with your proposal to delete related categories, I was heartened to see such well-crafted and nuanced comments. My desire to see these categories retained may fall under an IAR philosophy; ultimately I think they are useful. The definitional concerns you so thoughtfully raised seem a little abstract to me; in the context of China, which is where I operate, I can think of few cases where the classification would be ambiguous or controversial. Anyways, I'm curious to see if any other solutions or proposals come up to address the problems you've identified while still serving the purpose these categories were created to fill.

This edit to List of moshavim shitufiim is likely to be seen as controversial at some point because the moshavim shitufiim listed for the Judea and Samaria (i.e. the West Bank) and the Golan (i.e. Golan Heights) districts are beyond the Green Line. Consequently an "in Israel" category is not appropriate. Sean.hoyland - talk 15:49, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
BHG, I'm more than a little taken aback. You closed my September 12th CfD nomination on a procedural basis. Okay, I get that. I cured the procedural notice problem, and renominated the category with a different proposed name. You speedy closed the second CfD nomination, in which I cured the procedural issue with proper notice, and I might add, with a different proposed name change that answered Courcelles' objections. Technically, it is a different nomination (different proposed name, different nomination, right?), and I do not believe that it is subject to a speedy close. I also went to some length to explain my reason for the quick renomination in the second CfD. Your suggested remedy is that I take it to DRV. Why would I do that? I am not objecting to your original closing of the first nomination. You were correct: I make a mistake, and I did not provide the proper notice. That should not preclude a procedurally proper second nomination, with a different proposed name that answered Courcelles' objections. This CFD deserves to be considered on the merits, not closed based on a procedural error by the nominator. I respectfully request that you withdraw your speedy close and re-open the second nomination. Thank you. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 01:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
I was referred to you by a person on here for being sensible smart,fair and helpful. I am not a wiki person and have no experience at this stuff. I built one page while working for Rick Hendrix in 2008. Since this time the page has been tossed around and written and rewritten a dozen times. Every time it gets to a place an editor or admin feels it should be another comes in 6 months later and changes it or says it does not meet the wiki bio standards . I am sick and tired of it and frankly ready to delete the page and say screw it. I have not worked for Dr Hendrix in several years. I use to get assistance from his office but they no longer return my calls about the wiki. I can understand-Hendrix office said his wiki gets vandalized and trashed and edited so much they do not take it serious or care to defend a public jury on credibility or notoriety. However, I do feel Hendrix deserves a wiki. He was the top promoter for 20 years in gospel music, he has written several number one songs, been nominated for producer or writer nearly a dozen times, he has received several gold and platinum awards, been recognized by several governors, articles in Washington Post, Country Weekly, USA Today, Dallas Morning News, Charlotte Observer, Billboard Magazine and featured on CBS News, Fox News, 700 Club special about his positive promotions and life, was on a TLC show "True Stories from the Morgue" in 2002 and 2003 season. He was named by the Washington Post as the Democratic parties biggest evangelist in the 2008 election and served on Hillary Clinton for President faith team. I truly do not care at this point if an unbiased set of eyes and brain cells tell me this page is not a wiki notable article. I am reaching out because I have been on a bait and rescue mission with a couple of the folks on the page. They request ref and better sources, once I provide them -they say it doesn't matter. But I would like outside opinions before I cave in to this woman and her antics about this page. She is rude and confrontational and I do not feel she compliments the wiki community. She continues to request proof and changes, when these are provided she omits them as still not credible. If Washington Post and Billboard Magazine are no longer credible sources then I don't feel a wiki page would be worth my time or energy. I would love to see if you could let me know if it is notable or not, and if not I will delete it. If you say it is can you help or direct me to remove the deletion portion on the article.

The 'Stuttgart Military Community' is an obsolete, although still commonly used, term among military, civilian staff, contractors and family. The current official term in use is USAG- Stuttgart or US Army Garrison- Stuttgart, as the existing community command structure is a remnant of the formerly large Army presence in Germany from the end of World War II through the Cold War. The current community is largely a multi-service one, hosting 2 Department of Defense Unified Commands and I expect it will eventually be changed yet again to reflect it's DoD multi-service role.
The reason I created the category under this name is it's common usage from close to 70 years of historical use. I expect many searching Wikipedia would enter this term- not USAG-Stuttgart.
This entity (Stuttgart Military Community) is one of 4-5 geographic hubs around which US military activity will remain after the final drawdown of US forces in Germany and is the highest level headquarters. AFRICOM is responsible for all Defense and a significant amount of State Department activity in Africa. EUCOM is responsible for all of Europe and a significant portion of Asia. Both are 4 star commands and report directly to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense.
In conclusion, it's not just a community of military in Germany- it's the Pentagon-East Campus. Much of our foreign policy is determined, laid out and implemented from Stuttgart's 4 installations. It also hosts a significant portion of our overseas stationed special operations troops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.107.112.170 ( talk) 02:59, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello BHG, I'm working my way through the list of 84 members of the Canterbury Association. Only few of them don't have articles on WP as yet; I have yet to come across anyone who wouldn't meet notability criteria. Could I possibly ask for your help with getting those articles online (even the shortest of stubs) of those that are missing? Most of them were MPs at some point, and you would be able to look up those details, I guess. The other area where I need help are with English naming conventions. The particular one I've just looked for is Richard Cavendish (1794 – 18 March 1876). The peerage has him, he was thus a brother of Henry Cavendish, 3rd Baron Waterpark, and here's a pretty good reference for all the members (with Cavendish dealt with on pages 18–19): Blain, Rev. Michael (2007). The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections (PDF). Christchurch: Project Canterbury. pp. 18–19. Retrieved 22 September 2012.

Thank you, Brown Haired Girl. Could you please point an article in which the reviews are summarised? I will try to learn. As for the description of the essays, I have the book, but sorry, not the references. In fact I love Nancy Mitford sense of humour and I have nearly all the Mitford books (I mean the sisters). What should I do in a case like that? I have been a book reviewer for some of the most important newspapers in my country. Now I must learn how to write in Wikipedia. Since I made a start, and English is not my first language, I feel a little insecure for this, could not an experienced editor improve the article? No egotrip here. PS Perhaps the article is not a stub anymore? Tat Sat ( talk) 23:15, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I would appreciate if you could look into the category activities of User:Euroflux. I don't seem to be able to reason with this editor... He has been emptying categories out of process, uses them for ranking entries (see Category:French engineers by Grande école, for example), using weird sortkeys (such as exclamation marks), etc. Just a heads-up: As soon as I find time I'll take this user to ANI, given his relentless personal attacks on me (and other users), as well as unnecessary disparaging remarks towards other editors. But that is independent from the mess this guy is making of the whole categorization system in that area. Mind you, I'm not saying that things are perfect as they are (I don't have a strong opinion about that), just that Euroflux is making things much worse by creating a huge mess. I know you're well-versed in categorization (not everybody's thing), so perhaps you can give some advice/help in dealing with this situation.

Hi BrownHairedGirl! It appears we have a slight issue over at second(-)language acquisition. The requested move at Talk:Second-language acquisition#Requested move was closed as "not moved", so it stays at the hyphenated title, but I see that you closed the CfD discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 August 12 as "rename", so the category is now hyphenless. This isn't a criticism of your close at all, and I would have closed it the same way; the problem seems to be that it was completely different sets of people commenting in the two discussions about the same thing. The reason I'm messaging you is that I'm not sure what the protocol is in this kind of situation. What do you think would be the best thing to do about it? Maybe take it to Wikipedia:Move review?

Although I disagree with your proposal to delete related categories, I was heartened to see such well-crafted and nuanced comments. My desire to see these categories retained may fall under an IAR philosophy; ultimately I think they are useful. The definitional concerns you so thoughtfully raised seem a little abstract to me; in the context of China, which is where I operate, I can think of few cases where the classification would be ambiguous or controversial. Anyways, I'm curious to see if any other solutions or proposals come up to address the problems you've identified while still serving the purpose these categories were created to fill.

BHG, I'm more than a little taken aback. You closed my September 12th CfD nomination on a procedural basis. Okay, I get that. I cured the procedural notice problem, and renominated the category with a different proposed name. You speedy closed the second CfD nomination, in which I cured the procedural issue with proper notice, and I might add, with a different proposed name change that answered Courcelles' objections. Technically, it is a different nomination (different proposed name, different nomination, right?), and I do not believe that it is subject to a speedy close. I also went to some length to explain my reason for the quick renomination in the second CfD. Your suggested remedy is that I take it to DRV. Why would I do that? I am not objecting to your original closing of the first nomination. You were correct: I make a mistake, and I did not provide the proper notice. That should not preclude a procedurally proper second nomination, with a different proposed name that answered Courcelles' objections. This CFD deserves to be considered on the merits, not closed based on a procedural error by the nominator. I respectfully request that you withdraw your speedy close and re-open the second nomination. Thank you. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 01:09, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
I was referred to you by a person on here for being sensible smart,fair and helpful. I am not a wiki person and have no experience at this stuff. I built one page while working for Rick Hendrix in 2008. Since this time the page has been tossed around and written and rewritten a dozen times. Every time it gets to a place an editor or admin feels it should be another comes in 6 months later and changes it or says it does not meet the wiki bio standards . I am sick and tired of it and frankly ready to delete the page and say screw it. I have not worked for Dr Hendrix in several years. I use to get assistance from his office but they no longer return my calls about the wiki. I can understand-Hendrix office said his wiki gets vandalized and trashed and edited so much they do not take it serious or care to defend a public jury on credibility or notoriety. However, I do feel Hendrix deserves a wiki. He was the top promoter for 20 years in gospel music, he has written several number one songs, been nominated for producer or writer nearly a dozen times, he has received several gold and platinum awards, been recognized by several governors, articles in Washington Post, Country Weekly, USA Today, Dallas Morning News, Charlotte Observer, Billboard Magazine and featured on CBS News, Fox News, 700 Club special about his positive promotions and life, was on a TLC show "True Stories from the Morgue" in 2002 and 2003 season. He was named by the Washington Post as the Democratic parties biggest evangelist in the 2008 election and served on Hillary Clinton for President faith team. I truly do not care at this point if an unbiased set of eyes and brain cells tell me this page is not a wiki notable article. I am reaching out because I have been on a bait and rescue mission with a couple of the folks on the page. They request ref and better sources, once I provide them -they say it doesn't matter. But I would like outside opinions before I cave in to this woman and her antics about this page. She is rude and confrontational and I do not feel she compliments the wiki community. She continues to request proof and changes, when these are provided she omits them as still not credible. If Washington Post and Billboard Magazine are no longer credible sources then I don't feel a wiki page would be worth my time or energy. I would love to see if you could let me know if it is notable or not, and if not I will delete it. If you say it is can you help or direct me to remove the deletion portion on the article.

The 'Stuttgart Military Community' is an obsolete, although still commonly used, term among military, civilian staff, contractors and family. The current official term in use is USAG- Stuttgart or US Army Garrison- Stuttgart, as the existing community command structure is a remnant of the formerly large Army presence in Germany from the end of World War II through the Cold War. The current community is largely a multi-service one, hosting 2 Department of Defense Unified Commands and I expect it will eventually be changed yet again to reflect it's DoD multi-service role.
The reason I created the category under this name is it's common usage from close to 70 years of historical use. I expect many searching Wikipedia would enter this term- not USAG-Stuttgart.
This entity (Stuttgart Military Community) is one of 4-5 geographic hubs around which US military activity will remain after the final drawdown of US forces in Germany and is the highest level headquarters. AFRICOM is responsible for all Defense and a significant amount of State Department activity in Africa. EUCOM is responsible for all of Europe and a significant portion of Asia. Both are 4 star commands and report directly to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense.
In conclusion, it's not just a community of military in Germany- it's the Pentagon-East Campus. Much of our foreign policy is determined, laid out and implemented from Stuttgart's 4 installations. It also hosts a significant portion of our overseas stationed special operations troops. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.107.112.170 ( talk) 02:59, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Any chance I can get you to help me depopulate the category? This is really tiresome. Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 01:21, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Just to point out: for categories like ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Editors from Northern Ireland and ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Newspaper editors from Northern Ireland, the template {{ Fooian fooers}} doesn't produce the correct results, so instead there is a dedicated template {{ Fooers from Northern Ireland}}. — Paul A ( talk) 03:26, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
The article was semi protected last year during the presidential election campaign, however it seems to have been indef protected and I can't see any grounds for that, Can you sort? Thanks, Valenciano ( talk) 05:14, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about accidentally reverting on your talk page - the perils of using a touch-screen phone in small hours of morning! Had switched it on to check whether internet access was working OK (yes - but phone function seems to have died, problematic as I care for aged mother and need to be contactable when out of the house!), browsed my watchlist, and obviously left my finger on an "undo" somehow. Thanks for quietly re-reverting: I guess you realised what had happened. Apologies. Pam D 07:31, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I just proposed the above cat for renaming, but apparently Twinkle hickupped and the discussion was created but not inserted correctly on the log page ( here).

Just letting you know that you closed this CfD after having !voted in it. I won't unclose and reclose per WP:BURO, since I agree it was the correct close, but just letting you know. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:39, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm the category creator and primary objector deletion, however I do see that you made a good arguement. Do you how to make a bot request to have the category shifted to the talk page? Do you think it would be acceptable for it remain hidded while this arrangement is being made? - Stillwaterising ( talk) 06:23, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I thought I'd talk to you about this since you did contribute earlier regarding the Vancouver Whitecaps team from 1986 to 2010 and the current Vancouver Whitecaps team that currently plays in MLS. The Vancouver MLS category was merged. Even when the other discussions weren't quite settled yet which could turn out to be problematic. I may need to ask for your help fixing this later on because the other Whitecap cats are probably gonna be moved as well. You were probably right, I should've listed as one single nomination instead of two. Please reply on my talk page. – Michael ( talk) 19:04, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello BHG, I'm working my way through the list of 84 members of the Canterbury Association. Only few of them don't have articles on WP as yet; I have yet to come across anyone who wouldn't meet notability criteria. Could I possibly ask for your help with getting those articles online (even the shortest of stubs) of those that are missing? Most of them were MPs at some point, and you would be able to look up those details, I guess. The other area where I need help are with English naming conventions. The particular one I've just looked for is Richard Cavendish (1794 – 18 March 1876). The peerage has him, he was thus a brother of Henry Cavendish, 3rd Baron Waterpark, and here's a pretty good reference for all the members (with Cavendish dealt with on pages 18–19): Blain, Rev. Michael (2007). The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections (PDF). Christchurch: Project Canterbury. pp. 18–19. Retrieved 22 September 2012.
Could you help? I have five others so far that haven't got a page yet. Schwede 66 08:41, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I have just made a contribution editing this article. I inserted the book cover, a few editorial reviews, quotes, and made a résumé of the essays. Could you please take a look? I will welcome any changes you make to improve it. Thank you. Tat Sat ( talk) 21:03, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Thank you, Brown Haired Girl. Could you please point an article in which the reviews are summarised? I will try to learn. As for the description of the essays, I have the book, but sorry, not the references. In fact I love Nancy Mitford sense of humour and I have nearly all the Mitford books (I mean the sisters). What should I do in a case like that? I have been a book reviewer for some of the most important newspapers in my country. Now I must learn how to write in Wikipedia. Since I made a start, and English is not my first language, I feel a little insecure for this, could not an experienced editor improve the article? No egotrip here. PS Perhaps the article is not a stub anymore? Tat Sat ( talk) 23:15, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I would appreciate if you could look into the category activities of User:Euroflux. I don't seem to be able to reason with this editor... He has been emptying categories out of process, uses them for ranking entries (see Category:French engineers by Grande école, for example), using weird sortkeys (such as exclamation marks), etc. Just a heads-up: As soon as I find time I'll take this user to ANI, given his relentless personal attacks on me (and other users), as well as unnecessary disparaging remarks towards other editors. But that is independent from the mess this guy is making of the whole categorization system in that area. Mind you, I'm not saying that things are perfect as they are (I don't have a strong opinion about that), just that Euroflux is making things much worse by creating a huge mess. I know you're well-versed in categorization (not everybody's thing), so perhaps you can give some advice/help in dealing with this situation. Thanks! -- Guillaume2303 ( talk) 21:14, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi BrownHairedGirl, I just wanted you to know that some categories you have created pertaining to Paraguay you have categorized with Uruguayan categories. I am correcting some I find, but just in case you have more tasks in the area, I wanted you to know. Cheers. Hoverfish Talk 00:24, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm looking for help from an Administrator with the article on William Douglass (engineer). The author has confused this man with his uncle. I left a message on his Talk page some time ago, and on the article's talk page, to no avail. Details of the uncle, William Douglass, born London 1831, can be found here: [ [11]].

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Australian films of the 1910s, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Anderson ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

If you go to Category:American actors of English descent you will find a link to the discussion on that and several related categories, such as Category:American actors of German descent which were all heavily supported for deletion and eventually upmerged. For reasons I do not understand the German category was recreated. The reasoning given there would apply at least as well to the Austrian descent cat.

I left a query about your merge proposal at the link above a few days ago. As there is a DYK nomination hanging fire for the Peter Stuart article you're proposing to merge into Dog's Eye View, it would be nice to know if that's going ahead, or if Peter's sticking around for a while. Many thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 02:23, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
