Hi DannyS712, thanks again for closing two more RfCs at the reliable sources noticeboard. For the National Enquirer RfC, would you mind changing the word depreciate to deprecate, which is the term currently being used at Wikipedia:Deprecated sources and the perennial sources list? It's a minor change that would make it easier to quote your closing summary elsewhere. — Newslinger talk 07:44, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi DannyS712, I'm happy that you could help us. The idea is that when a user patrolling articles finds a short article, he needs to add the template to the article, " curto de máis", and it could be useful that this action sends an automatic message to the user who created the article warning him about that issue in it's article. I thought that this could be implemented adding a new menu option to the tool's box of user, but other implementations could work fine too. Bye, Elisardojm ( talk) 00:59, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
{{Curto de máis}}
at the start of the page, before other content, right? Second, what is the message you want to use as the warning? Finally, what namespace should it work in? --

@ Elisardojm: the steps are, I believe:
Marcadorcurtos[ResourceLoader|dependencies=mediawiki.util]|Marcadorcurtos.js
This should work, but I haven't tested it (obviously). I suggest creating the help page first so that it shows up as a blue link from the start - it takes a while for the script to realize :(. Please link to me (

Guild of Copy Editors March 2019 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2019, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in January's Backlog Elimination Drive. We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48 requests for copyedit in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Blitz: Thanks to everyone who participated in the February Blitz. Of the 15 people who signed up, 13 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed 32 copyedits, including 15 requests. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 23:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have completed 108 requests since 1 January and the backlog stands at 851 articles. March Drive: The month-long March drive is now underway; the target months are October and November 2018. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Sign up here! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Miniapolis, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Reidgreg and Tdslk. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Hi DannyS712, you are overloading Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval. I've removed your last 2 requests from the process list (Tasks 23 and 24). You already have 4 tasks in active trials, and mentioned you don't have time to work on. We don't have a "hard limit" at BRFA, but you've got too many active requests in general. Please work though the tasks you have in flight before asking for more reviews. That being said, if you have ideas for more tasks, feel free to write up your subpages but hold off on adding them in. A good rule of thumb would be to limit to 3 or 4 active BRFA's at once (note: I've left eight running), I really don't want go down the "rule making" process on this. If you would like to withdraw tasks that you have started but aren't going to work on, that is also OK to make room for the things you have time for. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 20:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Danny, in case you got the ping at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dimpletisha, I wasn't implicating you as a pernicious editor. I was only pointing out that the suspect used your signature, which made it look like they were trying to trick someone into doing them a favor. If that caused you any agitation or worry, please forgive me. I should have been more clear in my write-up. Sorry, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 19:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
Edits like this and this are the typical edits that need to be done from a bot account. As I watch many of the pages, it's quite intrusive. I would gently advise you to please slow down and do that large scale edit from your bot account, though I think there's even a bot that does that kind of work. – Ammarpad ( talk) 20:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
Human editors are expected to pay attention to the edits they make, and ensure that they do not sacrifice quality in the pursuit of speed or quantity. For the purpose of dispute resolution, it is irrelevant whether high-speed or large-scale edits that are contrary to consensus or cause errors an attentive human would not make are actually being performed by a bot, by a human assisted by a script, or even by a human without any programmatic assistance. No matter the method, the disruptive editing must stop or the user may end up blocked.
Note that merely editing quickly, particularly for a short time, is not by itself disruptive.

Hello, DannyS712,
I was surprised to see in your contributions that you removed a category from many pages in response to closing a CfD. Are you familiar with NAC closings in CfD? Have you looked over Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Administrator instructions particularly the use of the Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working page? Because you shouldn't be doing manual changes in response to closing a CfD and typically, NAC closures are only for no consensus or keep decisions and not for decisions that are complicated by previous CfD decisions. Liz Read! Talk! 02:45, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
If you are an administrator, list it under the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working. Include the link to the CFD day page above the listing. (If you are a non-admin, you will not be able to use the /Working page as it is protected, so do not close discussions that require any of the above 3 actions unless you are prepared to implement them manually, or an admin has agreed to help you. To request deletion of a category manually emptied by a non-admin, tag the page withI only removed the categories manually on some since Cydebot isn't working - see this thread above. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 11:20, 24 March 2019 (UTC){{ db-xfd}}

Half a century ago, it was the era of the mainframe computer, with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novel Billion-Dollar Brain then made into a Hollywood film. Now we have the cloud, with server farms and the client–server model as quotidian: this text is being typed on a Chromebook. The term Applications Programming Interface or API is 50 years old, and refers to a type of software library as well as the interface to its use. While a compiler is what you need to get high-level code executed by a mainframe, an API out in the cloud somewhere offers a chance to perform operations on a remote server. For example, the multifarious bots active on Wikipedia have owners who exploit the MediaWiki API. APIs (called RESTful) that allow for the GET HTTP request are fundamental for what could colloquially be called "moving data around the Web"; from which Wikidata benefits 24/7. So the fact that the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint at query.wikidata.org has a RESTful API means that, in lay terms, Wikidata content can be GOT from it. The programming involved, besides the SPARQL language, could be in Python, younger by a few months than the Web. Magic words, such as occur in fantasy stories, are wishful (rather than RESTful) solutions to gaining access. You may need to be a linguist to enter Ali Baba's cave or the western door of Moria (French in the case of " Open Sesame", in fact, and Sindarin being the respective languages). Talking to an API requires a bigger toolkit, which first means you have to recognise the tools in terms of what they can do. On the way to the wikt:impactful or polymathic modern handling of facts, one must perhaps take only tactful notice of tech's endemic problem with documentation, and absorb the insightful point that the code in APIs does articulate the customary procedures now in place on the cloud for getting information. As Owl explained to Winnie-the-Pooh, it tells you The Thing to Do.

Hi Danny S712, I would like to know why you think the page I created and have maintained for many years Damon J. Smith should be deleted? I undid another user's request to delete because I suspect he is attempting to vandalize my work. He is a new user with no prior contribs, and he only just created the account after another user who had previously attempted to delete the page mysteriously disappeared. This user accused me of being an alias of Damon J. Smith, which is untrue. I would be happy to Skype just to verify my identity! I have maintained the Damon J. Smith page on Wikipedia for many years and have spent a lot of effort compiling media references as I've followed his career. I'm sure we can find quite a few less deserving biographies on Wikipedia to clean up. Why is mine such a target now? I appreciate everyone's efforts to maintain the integrity of Wikipedia, and I am happy to make revisions to the page if there are unwarranted entries, but deleting the page is quite a draconian measure. Taryndejesus ( talk) 23:38, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
DannyS712 Thank you for your prompt response. OK so that makes sense, I misunderstood the process. So how long does AfD take? It wasn't very clear where the discussion takes place or when it considered complete. I did not see that the page was tagged for deletion at the beginning of the month (for some reason I did not receive notification), so I didn't find out anything was wrong until I happened to log in the other day and found it was deleted. I'd never had that happen before, so I wasn't sure how to join the discussion. But just now I edited the discussion page and posted a comment - hopefully I did that properly - and hopefully this will be remedied soon. Again, I appreciate your response and helping me better understand the process. Taryndejesus ( talk) 00:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Regarding this. I'm really not sure what that thread is about any more, but ignoring it does seem the most constructive general strategy. I just felt it prudent to inject a link to WP:MEATBOT since proponents of large scale semi-automated editing professed ignorance of it in the face of assertions that some significant proportion of those edits were low quality (anecdotally, I haven't seen any such edits and the assertions have not so far been backed up by diffs; but if it's actually the case it would best be addressed sooner than later). Actual bot edits are, IMO, highly unlikely to be the source of any such issues (because BRFA tends to weed out bots that, for whatever reason, can't perform their tasks to a fairly high level of accuracy). If there are actually any significant issue with such edits, they will be by a human editor running the shortdesc helper user script, or some ad hoc AWB-type rules, and not paying enough attention. -- Xover ( talk) 23:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

The WikiProject Civil Rights Movement was established early last year. The project needs to assess and tag existing articles on Wikipedia. That task would be greatly aided by a bot that could provide a prospective list of such articles to the project to green light if the entries look good.

On 1 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chafin v. Chafin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the United States Supreme Court had a divorce and the daughter was sent to Scotland? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chafin v. Chafin. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Chafin v. Chafin), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

When you tag for deletion a page which is transcluded, you must always bracket the speedy tag with <noinclude></noinclude>
. Your failure to do this in the case of
portal:Shia Islam/On this day/Jumada al-awwal/1 resulted in
portal:Shia Islam/On this day/Jumada al-awwal and
portal:Shia Islam/On this day both being spuriously dragged into
CAT:CSD.
But in the case of portal pages do not apply any speedy tags even with appropriate bracketing without the approval of UnitedStatesian - see this thread. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 17:47, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Normally I would accept author request (G7) speedy tags but, as I have already told you, I was requested to restore these 60 or so pages which I had deleted - in many cases as G7s. I am confused which is why I recommended you to avoid this area. And as for the AnomieBOT III list, I note that many of these broken redirects arise as a result of moves done by UnitedStatesian! I hope he will show up here and explain himself. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 21:26, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Hey Danny, would you happen to know/have code ready for how I can re-order an article's infobox parameters per template doc order and also use correct space between parameter name and "=" in AWB?

Your bot changed a category (
Category:Users who served in the Great April Fools' Day Edit War) to a link on this page:
User:InvalidOS/Userboxes/AprilFoolsEditWar, assuming it was a draft and should not have categories per
WP:USERNOCAT. The page is a userbox that has been used on other users' user pages, and the category is in <includeonly>
tags. I'm not entirely sure if this is the fault of an error in the bot, however, as I did notice that the category was not a subcategory of
Category:Wikipedians when the edit was made.

Is this really needed? My understanding was that the script chocked on the blurbs having those, but not the article itself. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 03:56, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
Enabling transclusion is rarely done, as it allows an article on one wiki to use templates from some other wiki. This is referred to as 'scary transclusion' as it will cause problems if the other wiki changes the template unexpectedly.-- DannyS712 ( talk) 04:12, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Would it be possible to create a script for the Vector skin that adds "View source" tab next to the edit tabs even when the user has edit privileges on a page? My reason for wanting this script is that if I leave an edit page with unpublished changes, the editor saves my changes when I come back. While this can be useful, it only saves the last changes I made and undo (ctrl Z) doesn't work if I need it. With a script like this, I will be able to copy old code onto my new edit. Thanks - ZLEA T\ C 13:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
&veaction=editsource
, while that script is looking for &action=edit
. AFAIK the 2017 edit doesn't have a view source option, but &action=submit
should always load the old editor regardless of the users's preferences. From there, it should be possible to disable the edit form or submit button.

I hope that this is the correct way to get a message to you. The image of George Clinton on his Wikipedia page was taken by me personally. I don't know how to confirm that fact on Wikipedia. It was taken prior to a Parliament-Funkadelic concert in Augusta, Georgia in April of 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groovemaneuvers ( talk • contribs) 23:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
There is a disclaimer on the George Clinton page regarding the picture that I inserted into the page. It says that I have to prove copyright ownership of the picture or else it will be deleted. I don't know the first thing about confirming copyright ownership. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Danny, can you explain your reliasting rationale. the Support side have no valid justification and simply based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT type of reasoning. Moreover since the beginning of the Rename request, a WP:CFORK has been created at the target location making this rename request redundant. I would ask you to either close this RM or let another admin handle this closure or relist if he deems fit. I have already listed it at WP:ANRFC so someone will take a look soon. regards. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 04:59, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
I, though, need to think about whether this slogan or Main Bhi Chowkidar is apt for the title.- I know that wasn't a comment as part of the RM, and I hadn't considered it until composing this reply, but I think this shows that a serious debate about the title can be had, even if the notability is agreed upon. I don't intend to close this RM, but if forced to now I would close it as no consensus. There isn't enough support for it to move, but there isn't a clear consensus against moving it either. I'm sorry we disagree about this, and I hope that the discussion is eventually resolved (not by me) in a way that is agreeable to you, but I stand by my relisting. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 06:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi DannyS712, I'm happy that you could help us. The idea is that when a user patrolling articles finds a short article, he needs to add the template to the article, " curto de máis", and it could be useful that this action sends an automatic message to the user who created the article warning him about that issue in it's article. I thought that this could be implemented adding a new menu option to the tool's box of user, but other implementations could work fine too. Bye, Elisardojm ( talk) 00:59, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors March 2019 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the March newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since December 2018. All being well, we're planning to issue these quarterly in 2019, balancing the need to communicate widely with the avoidance of filling up talk pages. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. January Drive: Thanks to everyone for the splendid work in January's Backlog Elimination Drive. We removed copyedit tags from all of the articles tagged in our original target months of June, July and August 2018, and by 24 January we ran out of articles. After adding September, we finished the month with 8 target articles remaining and 842 left in the backlog. GOCE copyeditors also completed 48 requests for copyedit in January. Of the 31 people who signed up for this drive, 24 copyedited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Blitz: Thanks to everyone who participated in the February Blitz. Of the 15 people who signed up, 13 copyedited at least one article. Participants claimed 32 copyedits, including 15 requests. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: As of 23:39, 18 March 2019 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have completed 108 requests since 1 January and the backlog stands at 851 articles. March Drive: The month-long March drive is now underway; the target months are October and November 2018. Awards will be given to everyone who copyedits at least one article from the backlog. Sign up here! Election reminder: It may only be March but don't forget our mid-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 June. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Miniapolis, Baffle gab1978, Jonesey95, Reidgreg and Tdslk. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

Hi DannyS712, you are overloading Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval. I've removed your last 2 requests from the process list (Tasks 23 and 24). You already have 4 tasks in active trials, and mentioned you don't have time to work on. We don't have a "hard limit" at BRFA, but you've got too many active requests in general. Please work though the tasks you have in flight before asking for more reviews. That being said, if you have ideas for more tasks, feel free to write up your subpages but hold off on adding them in. A good rule of thumb would be to limit to 3 or 4 active BRFA's at once (note: I've left eight running), I really don't want go down the "rule making" process on this. If you would like to withdraw tasks that you have started but aren't going to work on, that is also OK to make room for the things you have time for. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 20:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi Danny, in case you got the ping at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dimpletisha, I wasn't implicating you as a pernicious editor. I was only pointing out that the suspect used your signature, which made it look like they were trying to trick someone into doing them a favor. If that caused you any agitation or worry, please forgive me. I should have been more clear in my write-up. Sorry, Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 19:45, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
Edits like this and this are the typical edits that need to be done from a bot account. As I watch many of the pages, it's quite intrusive. I would gently advise you to please slow down and do that large scale edit from your bot account, though I think there's even a bot that does that kind of work. – Ammarpad ( talk) 20:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
Human editors are expected to pay attention to the edits they make, and ensure that they do not sacrifice quality in the pursuit of speed or quantity. For the purpose of dispute resolution, it is irrelevant whether high-speed or large-scale edits that are contrary to consensus or cause errors an attentive human would not make are actually being performed by a bot, by a human assisted by a script, or even by a human without any programmatic assistance. No matter the method, the disruptive editing must stop or the user may end up blocked.
Note that merely editing quickly, particularly for a short time, is not by itself disruptive.

Hello, DannyS712,
I was surprised to see in your contributions that you removed a category from many pages in response to closing a CfD. Are you familiar with NAC closings in CfD? Have you looked over Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Administrator instructions particularly the use of the Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working page? Because you shouldn't be doing manual changes in response to closing a CfD and typically, NAC closures are only for no consensus or keep decisions and not for decisions that are complicated by previous CfD decisions. Liz Read! Talk! 02:45, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
If you are an administrator, list it under the appropriate section of Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working. Include the link to the CFD day page above the listing. (If you are a non-admin, you will not be able to use the /Working page as it is protected, so do not close discussions that require any of the above 3 actions unless you are prepared to implement them manually, or an admin has agreed to help you. To request deletion of a category manually emptied by a non-admin, tag the page withI only removed the categories manually on some since Cydebot isn't working - see this thread above. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 11:20, 24 March 2019 (UTC){{ db-xfd}}

Half a century ago, it was the era of the mainframe computer, with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novel Billion-Dollar Brain then made into a Hollywood film. Now we have the cloud, with server farms and the client–server model as quotidian: this text is being typed on a Chromebook. The term Applications Programming Interface or API is 50 years old, and refers to a type of software library as well as the interface to its use. While a compiler is what you need to get high-level code executed by a mainframe, an API out in the cloud somewhere offers a chance to perform operations on a remote server. For example, the multifarious bots active on Wikipedia have owners who exploit the MediaWiki API. APIs (called RESTful) that allow for the GET HTTP request are fundamental for what could colloquially be called "moving data around the Web"; from which Wikidata benefits 24/7. So the fact that the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint at query.wikidata.org has a RESTful API means that, in lay terms, Wikidata content can be GOT from it. The programming involved, besides the SPARQL language, could be in Python, younger by a few months than the Web. Magic words, such as occur in fantasy stories, are wishful (rather than RESTful) solutions to gaining access. You may need to be a linguist to enter Ali Baba's cave or the western door of Moria (French in the case of " Open Sesame", in fact, and Sindarin being the respective languages). Talking to an API requires a bigger toolkit, which first means you have to recognise the tools in terms of what they can do. On the way to the wikt:impactful or polymathic modern handling of facts, one must perhaps take only tactful notice of tech's endemic problem with documentation, and absorb the insightful point that the code in APIs does articulate the customary procedures now in place on the cloud for getting information. As Owl explained to Winnie-the-Pooh, it tells you The Thing to Do.

Hi Danny S712, I would like to know why you think the page I created and have maintained for many years Damon J. Smith should be deleted? I undid another user's request to delete because I suspect he is attempting to vandalize my work. He is a new user with no prior contribs, and he only just created the account after another user who had previously attempted to delete the page mysteriously disappeared. This user accused me of being an alias of Damon J. Smith, which is untrue. I would be happy to Skype just to verify my identity! I have maintained the Damon J. Smith page on Wikipedia for many years and have spent a lot of effort compiling media references as I've followed his career. I'm sure we can find quite a few less deserving biographies on Wikipedia to clean up. Why is mine such a target now? I appreciate everyone's efforts to maintain the integrity of Wikipedia, and I am happy to make revisions to the page if there are unwarranted entries, but deleting the page is quite a draconian measure. Taryndejesus ( talk) 23:38, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
DannyS712 Thank you for your prompt response. OK so that makes sense, I misunderstood the process. So how long does AfD take? It wasn't very clear where the discussion takes place or when it considered complete. I did not see that the page was tagged for deletion at the beginning of the month (for some reason I did not receive notification), so I didn't find out anything was wrong until I happened to log in the other day and found it was deleted. I'd never had that happen before, so I wasn't sure how to join the discussion. But just now I edited the discussion page and posted a comment - hopefully I did that properly - and hopefully this will be remedied soon. Again, I appreciate your response and helping me better understand the process. Taryndejesus ( talk) 00:02, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Regarding this. I'm really not sure what that thread is about any more, but ignoring it does seem the most constructive general strategy. I just felt it prudent to inject a link to WP:MEATBOT since proponents of large scale semi-automated editing professed ignorance of it in the face of assertions that some significant proportion of those edits were low quality (anecdotally, I haven't seen any such edits and the assertions have not so far been backed up by diffs; but if it's actually the case it would best be addressed sooner than later). Actual bot edits are, IMO, highly unlikely to be the source of any such issues (because BRFA tends to weed out bots that, for whatever reason, can't perform their tasks to a fairly high level of accuracy). If there are actually any significant issue with such edits, they will be by a human editor running the shortdesc helper user script, or some ad hoc AWB-type rules, and not paying enough attention. -- Xover ( talk) 23:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

The WikiProject Civil Rights Movement was established early last year. The project needs to assess and tag existing articles on Wikipedia. That task would be greatly aided by a bot that could provide a prospective list of such articles to the project to green light if the entries look good. That bot would be comparable to User:InceptionBot (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Civil Rights Movement/New articles), but instead of new articles, drafts, or categories the bot would assess old stuff.

Would it be possible to create a script for the Vector skin that adds "View source" tab next to the edit tabs even when the user has edit privileges on a page? My reason for wanting this script is that if I leave an edit page with unpublished changes, the editor saves my changes when I come back. While this can be useful, it only saves the last changes I made and undo (ctrl Z) doesn't work if I need it. With a script like this, I will be able to copy old code onto my new edit. Thanks - ZLEA T\ C 13:33, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
&veaction=editsource
, while that script is looking for &action=edit
. AFAIK the 2017 edit doesn't have a view source option, but &action=submit
should always load the old editor regardless of the users's preferences. From there, it should be possible to disable the edit form or submit button.

reply link, does not work when I use it, it says there is an error. -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 02:58, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi Danny, can you explain your reliasting rationale. the Support side have no valid justification and simply based on WP:IDONTLIKEIT type of reasoning. Moreover since the beginning of the Rename request, a WP:CFORK has been created at the target location making this rename request redundant. I would ask you to either close this RM or let another admin handle this closure or relist if he deems fit. I have already listed it at WP:ANRFC so someone will take a look soon. regards. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 04:59, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
I, though, need to think about whether this slogan or Main Bhi Chowkidar is apt for the title.- I know that wasn't a comment as part of the RM, and I hadn't considered it until composing this reply, but I think this shows that a serious debate about the title can be had, even if the notability is agreed upon. I don't intend to close this RM, but if forced to now I would close it as no consensus. There isn't enough support for it to move, but there isn't a clear consensus against moving it either. I'm sorry we disagree about this, and I hope that the discussion is eventually resolved (not by me) in a way that is agreeable to you, but I stand by my relisting. -- DannyS712 ( talk) 06:23, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Just a heads up I will need you to Mass Message the next TWW. I'll give you more information in a few days. Thanks! -- Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 19:41, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

I am listening to ' Listen to Wikipedia' and noticed you made dozens upon dozens, if not a couple hundred edits within mere seconds and I was curious how you did that. I find it fascinating. Must be a beneficial byproduct from your programming experience and knowledge! :) Aviartm ( talk) 05:53, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Can you please restore the content to the last stable version by S0091 on Vaisakhi? There is this vandal with similar IPs making numerous changes and automated filter is blocking me to allow to make a revert.
