Hi Buidhe, wondered if you could take a look at Template:Did you know nominations/Tom Moore (fundraiser)? Whizz40 ( talk) 21:11, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

This is just a reminder that discussions need to be left open for at least 168 hours. Deletion discussions with little or no participation should often be closed as a soft delete rather than relisted, and multiple relists should be avoided whenever possible (especially by non-admins).
In fact, going through your recent contributions at AfD leads me to think that your talents would be better utilized by voting on AfD discussions rather than closing them. The backlog at AfD usually isn't a problem that requires help from non-admins, but we always need more people to analyze the articles and provide insightful !votes. If I could gently steer you in that direction I think it could be quite helpful. Cheers. – bradv 🍁 17:34, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi, Buidhe. In general, move discussions should not be relisted more than once before properly closing, as at Talk:Noongar (disambiguation). See Wikipedia:RMRELIST. Just close it as no consensus if there's no consensus for change. Cheers! -- JHunterJ ( talk) 17:20, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Buidhe, Since you are very active at RSN, I thought you could help find out what I should do. I noticed that many RSN discussions lead to a consensus, and admin closure. I had asked a question there ( Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#FrontPage Magazine), but I am not sure if I should wait for a closure or not, since no RfC is requested.

Hi Buidhe, in terms of WP:IMR, would you be willing to extend this move discussion out a week as relevant Wikiprojects are alerted? I didn't have mold on my watchlist, but found out about it because it affects other pages I do edit. I was pretty surprised to see it closed as support when it seemed like the proposer ironically established the fungus was the primary topic. The subject of mold and it's common name usage gets complicated and easily confused (e.g., mold vs. water mold), so it seems like a good case to treat as no consensus for this first week and encourage editors familiar with the subject (e.g., fungi/microbiology projects) to chime in. Otherwise, it looks like pretty weak turnout and some superficial comments that shouldn't be counted under WP:!VOTE to varying degrees. If it were an AfD, that's one I definitely would have relisted for more input. Thanks. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 21:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Apologies for the language that truly did take me by surprise!,
Please read
WP:RM and please don't close or participate in RM moves until you have a better understanding of the RM process, Whilst 6-7 days had passed there was certainly no consensus at all to name that article and therefore it should have been relisted for a further 7 days, If 2-3 weeks pass and no comments there sure it could've been moved but your move as it stands was way too premature/too soon,

Hi,
I saw you edit regarding this, what's your opinion regarding the Second Vienna Award? Should there be also removed?( KIENGIR ( talk) 20:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC))
Hi,
I also did a search and quite a lot of historical sources (even when eliminating Hungarian/Romanian sources) either recognizing or explicitly mention the term "Diktat". Some explicitly mention the Vienna Diktat, no "award" in there - so a little bit more than just an aka...
So beside the original source cited, which is one of the definitive sources regarding World War 2, here are some other examples:
See also contemporary sources. - NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/1946/05/08/archives/big-4-quickly-cede-all-transylvania-to-the-rumanians-decision-in.html - The Sydney Morning Herald, Sep. 5 1940, German Moves section / Clashes Reported sub-section: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=19400905&id=MFQRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gpUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4435,472876
There are also other respected sources that can be cited (again, talking here about serious authors with are internationally recognized when it comes to the subject), using this term: for example Hugh Seton-Watson (Eastern Europe Between the Wars, 1918-1941).
So by sheer wight of the sources this term should be used (as an aka at the very least). And frankly, if contemporary sources freely used the term "diktat" (mind you, there is no "award" in there sometimes) this is telling.
And if not, could you please explain to me how is the selection of sources supposed to work? And how is the selection of citation from sources properly done?
Because I know of examples where otherwise obscure (or vaguely related to the subject) sources are brought up in order to present a more "neutral" point of view (the argument used by those editors) or even editors citing some portion of otherwise respected sources without mentioning that the same very source they cite, in the next sentence or paragraph, states that the cited paragraph (which is of the form "X said at the time something") has been since proven false. For example, say you have a respectable source - J. Smith - that states "X says that the sun is cold. But X was proven wrong." and the editor cites J. Smith in a Wikipedia article by incorporating "X said the sun is cold" and attributing that to J. Smith.
So I really am at a loss... How and why is sometimes OK to "dig up" sources that represent a tiny minority view (sometimes even proven wrong since), and use them in an article, while sources which should have a lot more weight from the perspective of those sources being experts in the subject - or simply being contemporary - are to be disregarded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cealicuca ( talk • contribs)

Hello, Buidhe. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Political and military wing".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hi Buidhe, I noticed you declined two copy-edit requests at the GOCE Requests page. While I understand and support your declines, the Guild's usual practice is to put the requests on hold and start a discussion at the Requests talk page (REQ Talk), which I'll do in a few minutes. This allows discussion between editors and leaves a record in our archives, especially now we have the bot for archiving. Thanks for noticing the problems though; it's appreciated. :) Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:28, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

This is just a reminder that discussions need to be left open for at least 168 hours. Deletion discussions with little or no participation should often be closed as a soft delete rather than relisted, and multiple relists should be avoided whenever possible (especially by non-admins).
In fact, going through your recent contributions at AfD leads me to think that your talents would be better utilized by voting on AfD discussions rather than closing them. The backlog at AfD usually isn't a problem that requires help from non-admins, but we always need more people to analyze the articles and provide insightful !votes. If I could gently steer you in that direction I think it could be quite helpful. Cheers. – bradv 🍁 17:34, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Buidhe, in terms of WP:IMR, would you be willing to extend this move discussion out a week as relevant Wikiprojects are alerted? I didn't have mold on my watchlist, but found out about it because it affects other pages I do edit. I was pretty surprised to see it closed as support when it seemed like the proposer ironically established the fungus was the primary topic. The subject of mold and it's common name usage gets complicated and easily confused (e.g., mold vs. water mold), so it seems like a good case to treat as no consensus for this first week and encourage editors familiar with the subject (e.g., fungi/microbiology projects) to chime in. Otherwise, it looks like pretty weak turnout and some superficial comments that shouldn't be counted under WP:!VOTE to varying degrees. If it were an AfD, that's one I definitely would have relisted for more input. Thanks. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 21:13, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Please read
WP:RM and please don't close or participate in RM moves until you have a better understanding of the RM process, Whilst 6-7 days had passed there was certainly no consensus at all to name that article and therefore it should have been relisted for a further 7 days, If 2-3 weeks pass and no comments there sure it could've been moved but your move as it stands was way too premature/too soon,

Hi,
I saw you edit regarding this, what's your opinion regarding the Second Vienna Award? Should there be also removed?( KIENGIR ( talk) 20:16, 8 April 2020 (UTC))
Hi,
I also did a search and quite a lot of historical sources (even when eliminating Hungarian/Romanian sources) either recognizing or explicitly mention the term "Diktat". Some explicitly mention the Vienna Diktat, no "award" in there - so a little bit more than just an aka...
So beside the original source cited, which is one of the definitive sources regarding World War 2, here are some other examples:
See also contemporary sources. - NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/1946/05/08/archives/big-4-quickly-cede-all-transylvania-to-the-rumanians-decision-in.html - The Sydney Morning Herald, Sep. 5 1940, German Moves section / Clashes Reported sub-section: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1301&dat=19400905&id=MFQRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=gpUDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4435,472876
There are also other respected sources that can be cited (again, talking here about serious authors with are internationally recognized when it comes to the subject), using this term: for example Hugh Seton-Watson (Eastern Europe Between the Wars, 1918-1941).
So by sheer wight of the sources this term should be used (as an aka at the very least). And frankly, if contemporary sources freely used the term "diktat" (mind you, there is no "award" in there sometimes) this is telling.
And if not, could you please explain to me how is the selection of sources supposed to work? And how is the selection of citation from sources properly done?
Because I know of examples where otherwise obscure (or vaguely related to the subject) sources are brought up in order to present a more "neutral" point of view (the argument used by those editors) or even editors citing some portion of otherwise respected sources without mentioning that the same very source they cite, in the next sentence or paragraph, states that the cited paragraph (which is of the form "X said at the time something") has been since proven false. For example, say you have a respectable source - J. Smith - that states "X says that the sun is cold. But X was proven wrong." and the editor cites J. Smith in a Wikipedia article by incorporating "X said the sun is cold" and attributing that to J. Smith.
So I really am at a loss... How and why is sometimes OK to "dig up" sources that represent a tiny minority view (sometimes even proven wrong since), and use them in an article, while sources which should have a lot more weight from the perspective of those sources being experts in the subject - or simply being contemporary - are to be disregarded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cealicuca ( talk • contribs)

Hi buidhe,
You closed the Talk:Zionites RM as "no consensus". Procedurally, would you be okay with me moving it back to Zionites (Germany) then? Really, it was Shhhnotsoloud who should have filed the RM in the first place. I filed the RM immediately after the undiscussed move, so if there's no consensus for a title, it should go to the long-term stable title that stood for a decade+. (Ping for @ Shhhnotsoloud: as well in case you have further input.) SnowFire ( talk) 15:59, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear Buidhe. I took a brief look at some of the articles you authored and I wanted to thank you. These are very valuable topics. I looked at things around the Holocaust and Slovakia.

Hi Buidhe, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 ( talk)

Dear Buidhe, thank you for taking the time to review the Rights of Nature. You had some review points, and I would like to address them here.
I wonder if with the actions taken and and explanations provided, if your assessment of the DYK nomination could be revised accordingly. As I understand it, articles need not be perfect for them to be featured as a DYK article, and I think this article is already quite good, albeit surely improvable in the future. Thank you.

Thanks for keeping me informed and clearing my misconception. So effectively copy-edit seems some thing like just old time proof reading. Let that be.
Is there any project for supporting in article update and expansions ?
Thanks and warm regards and greetings

Hello, Buidhe. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Political and military wing".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
, {{db-draft}}
, or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian ( talk) 03:49, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Buidhe, I noticed you declined two copy-edit requests at the GOCE Requests page. While I understand and support your declines, the Guild's usual practice is to put the requests on hold and start a discussion at the Requests talk page (REQ Talk), which I'll do in a few minutes. This allows discussion between editors and leaves a record in our archives, especially now we have the bot for archiving. Thanks for noticing the problems though; it's appreciated. :) Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:28, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you so much for your contributions. I am slowly going through the article looking for references without page numbers and genuinely appreciated you finding those for me. There are more still--feel free to continue to help out with locating those! I also wanted to let you know your efn at [8] is not displaying properly and I haven't a clue how to fix it. I don't know how to do one in the first place. I'm still a relative newby. Again, thanx. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 06:55, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
