Hello - I think in your close at Talk:Exercise#Requested move 20 March 2018 you made a typo in writing "Excercise" instead of "Exercise" (not vital, but in this case worth correcting as you inadvertently point to a different valid redirect). Regards, Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 14:48, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention at Talk:Bruce McArthur#Requested move 18 May 2018. I knew it was divisive amongst editors but I was hoping there was a policy-based consensus to be had. I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I was curious what you might think about WP:PERP and BLP concerns vs WP:COMMONNAME and WP:RECOGNIZABLE. I was hoping to clear up any serious concerns before the article is promoted on the main page. Any advice would be welcome. – Reidgreg ( talk) 10:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Hey Cuchullain: would you consider amending the close here to no consensus. I don’t think it’s fair to say that there was a consensus that it isnt the primary topic: numerically the sides were about even and in my view, the opposes weren’t policy based or didn’t present any evidence for their positions. The result in terms of title is the same, but I’ll likely try to start a new RM with a better initial statement at some point in the future (I thought this would be non-controversial), and I’d prefer not to have a future RM be in the shadow of a consensus that I don’t think exists.

Hi, I see that earlier this year you moved a lot of ethnicities articles from "X people" to the primary title "X". Some of these are helpful moves (particularly in the cases where there didn't appear to be any other articles ambiguous with "X"), but quite a few of the moves were over a disambiguation page that also listed the language with the same name. Now, you don't seem to have made any similar moves for some times, so I take it that you're already aware – and I just wanted to double-check – that, barring exceptional circumstances, there usually is no primary topic between the ethnic group and the language. – Uanfala (talk) 13:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
Where a name is shared between a language and the corresponding ethnic or national group, as is the case with many such names in English, experience shows that a search for which of these has "primary" status is most often futile.Again, I'm not sure where you're getting that notion that the people are usually the primary topic. If that's what has emerged out of discussions invovling groups of North America, then fine: I don't really edit there. But please be aware that this is upside down to the rest of wikipedia. How many articles do you see at primary titles in Category:Indigenous peoples of East Africa or in Category:Indigenous peoples of Southeast Asia? – Uanfala (talk) 22:53, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Cuchullain, before I institute a WP:Move review, I thought I'd see if you had any comment on the point that several of us made that the original move of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012 TV series) to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (TV series) was controversial, and should be reverted on the basis of WP:STATUSQUO and WP:TITLECHANGES. I actually don't have a problem with the "no consensus" ruling on the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 anime series) part of the proposed move – this OVA thing is likely going to require an WP:RfC to solve, I'm afraid...
