Can you not make page moves like you did here. Taking the Hangul of '이달의 소녀', running it through Google Translate, and moving the page based on how it romanizes it is beyond ridiculous. There is simply no justification for such an ill-advised move. You have a long history of making terrible decisions when it comes to page moves and I've often had to revert many that have popped up on my watchlist. — ξ xplicit 00:21, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

I am considering creating a move request next month when the moratorium is up over at Genesis creation narrative. I have drafted a proposal, and due to your extensive involvement in RM in general, I was wondering if you could look it over and point out any deficiencies in reasoning, or additional avenues I should consider. I realise that this could possibly be construed as canvassing, but that is not my intention. Rather, I think that with a highly polarised proposal like this, it is very important to get the initial proposal as perfect as possible. I might also ask a few other people about their opinions.

We now have 800 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hi! Thanks for putting one of these on
Aura D'Angelo. However, it isn't enough just to put the template there, you need to fill in the details. The full deal is: {{translated page|SourceLanguageCode|SourcePageTitle|version=123456789|insertversion=987654321|section=name}}
(the "section" parameter is optional). It's pretty obvious, but if you need help with this, ping me either here or at the talk-page there.
So, the big question: have you translated other pages from other Wikipedias? If so, those too will need to be attributed in this way unless you left a detailed edit summary crediting the source (please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects for explanation). I may be able to help with that too. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 20:56, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Bolero into
Bolero (Spanish dance). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. —

I think White's book is clearly the primary topic for the search term "Metahistory" - regardless of whether the term has been employed before. IF you want Metahistory to redirect to historiography then I will have to place a hatnote on historiography to note that "metahistory redirects here, for the book by Hayden White see Metahistory (Hayden White)" and that may be a little excessive. So if you insist that the article about White's work should be located at a disambiguation title then I think we will need a disambiguation page and not a redirect. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 11:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Why did you move Informal collaborator to Informal collaborator (East Germany)? Korny O'Near ( talk) 02:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi In ictu oculi. Above you said "Thanks Herostratus for the lengthy and correct understanding displayed above" and earlier on my talk you have said (re the ANI thread) "You're absolutely correct, and thank you for your comments".
So although I have also probably said things you don't like (re HacoGate (HacoGhazi?)), take me as a non-hostile person, which is true -- I'm not hostile.
As a non-hostile person, may I suggest that you, as general rule, use a lot more WP:RM and a lot less unilateral moving. It is possible that User:Born2cycle should also -- I don't know -- and maybe you could both agree to do so, or something.
User:Born2cycle makes the point that, justified as they may be on the merits (or not -- I'm not making judgement because I don't know), anything that could conceivably be objected to just on titling rules alone, you should discuss. So should User:Born2cycle IMO. Really, so should all of us.
I understand "Well, it is crystal-clear to me, as an experienced editor that has worked in this area a lot, that this is the better title" as the basis for a unilateral move. However, IMO it needs to be "Well, it is crystal-clear to me, as an experienced editor that has worked in this area a lot, that this is the better title and no sane person could possibly object" needs to be the operative hurdle to clear.
I think a lot less drama this way (and if "no sane person could possibly object" still gets you in move wars, just expand your definition of "sane person" until it does I guess).
And there's no hurry. There's no "I must move this article now". Set up an RM, make your case and give your reasons, and see what shakes out. Sometimes you'll be turned down. Oh well -- Wikipedia! If you're making an article and need the title space cleared, I dunno -- keep the article in draft, or use a different name, or something, until the RM clears, I guess.
Of course, I get the point that " User:In ictu oculi and User:Born2cycle both agreeing to use RM's almost always" is not exactly a parallel situation for various reasons. What can I say? Life isn't fair. It's the best solution I can think of.
What say you? Herostratus ( talk) 20:53, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Upon reading a few prior RM discussions, it's genuinely intriguing how many people think dropping diacritics makes a word or name "English." As an example, Djokovic is not a transcription of Đoković. Djokovich, on the other hand, would be.
It is generally preferred to use diacritics, of course. French, Spanish and German accents are commonly used in English writing, even in the absence of other languages' equivalents. But in the state I live in in my country, for instance, diacritics are not permitted in names. As such, people often respell diacritics rather than directly stripping them from their own names. In some cases, individuals have no diacritics in their name, but modify the spelling to aid pronunciation by others. Rovingrobert ( talk) 05:03, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Please, I'd ask you to seek consensus before unilaterally moving a whole host of articles just on the basis that the "main" article was moved. Many of those are independent articles with their own motives and/or specific uses of English translations, and many of your edits are even breaking some of those pages' templates. Also, the most recent move request in the Minorca article was only supported by a difference of one vote (out of three people involved) and this just after there were several other move request which were strongly rejected.
In fact, WP:CONSISTENCY would call for the Menorca article to be dubbed as Minorca (not the other way around). Specially seeing how Majorca is also refered to in its English form and not as Majorca, or how this also happens for Seville, Biscay, etc. This is the English Wikipedia, and English is used in a preferential way not because of it being "British colonial", but because of it being the Wikipedia in English.

In ictu oculi,
Redirects from people commonly include data that should be retained in a stub biography, more than you retained for Moira Young this winter ( revision, 2016-12-25).
In this case, Template: Authority control as well as {DEFAULTSORT} and the article categories that you did retain. {Authority control} belongs in the footer of every biography where any of the relevant ID are available, and it doesn't hurt to include it anyway. The template parameters aren't necessary if there is a corresponding Wikidata item where those values have been entered, and the template with no parameter values will generate no display in the biography footer if there are no parameter values entered at Wikidata.
For Moira Young there are no parameter values now defined at Wikidata, D:Q28059228 [no longer true 2017-08-11]. If you had retained the template in December, those values would have been transferred to Wikidata by some one, perhaps a robot --and quickly so, if I understand correctly.
I am now "out of date" on how that process works. Let me restore the template with parameter values to the biography footer, rather than enter those values at Wikidata manually. ... Done (
revision, last hour).
Soon the parameter values will be moved from template {Authority control} to the Wikidata item, I expect. -- P64 ( talk) 23:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

If you were going to redirect the original title to a disambiguation page I could understand this but leaving the original title as a redirect to the new title doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than make the article title more cumbersome.

If you would take a look at all the references i collected for the article (in a period of about half a year) and check those against Wikipedia:Notability_(music) you would see - like i already discussed with several editors during the draft phase - that those references easily show notability according to more than then ten points of the guidelines... Shown notability is the reason it is not a draft anymore.. Each source is checked for author/journalist reliability (all worked at some point or are working for well-know musical media, newspapers or radio station), each source is checked (all magazines etc. are well-know for their expertise in music) - almost all having their own wikipedia-page. Besides that there are the books and encyclopedia entries providing infos about things like her unique playing style (one of the books even got its own chapter about her). I can easily show the guideline matching as i already did before. "borderline. Merge to Furslide" - which is only one of the bands she played in (besides beeing the Frontwomen there alongside two other notable musicians (which is only one of the guideline criterias and also Furslide as band (article not written by me btw) matching e.g. the guideline criteria for a major label (virgin)) make it appears to me like you are on some kind of personal vendetta since you saw my move-page request mentioning you - but not like an objective discussion.

I have closed the relisted RM as moved; the article is now at Menorca.

Cheers! bd2412 T 16:27, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
No issues; I think we just let ourselves go passionately on that issue, but I understand your reasonings for the move and that it would maybe have happened in the future (however, given that as of currently the different M*norca uses seemed to still be tied depending on which theme they were related to, it didn't seem about right to force it without a strong consensus given past precedence and the fact that it should not be Wikipedia the one which establishes new usages). In the end, though, the whole relist issue at least was useful at achieving an higher participation for it, instead of it being based on a rather low-turnout RM compared to previous ones. After the page's move this morning I've already updated many politically-related articles in Spain to reflect the new term and be consistent with it, so no worries. Cheers!

I am considering creating a move request next month when the moratorium is up over at Genesis creation narrative. I have drafted a proposal, and due to your extensive involvement in RM in general, I was wondering if you could look it over and point out any deficiencies in reasoning, or additional avenues I should consider. I realise that this could possibly be construed as canvassing, but that is not my intention. Rather, I think that with a highly polarised proposal like this, it is very important to get the initial proposal as perfect as possible. I might also ask a few other people about their opinions.

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 Aura D'Angelo 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DrStrauss talk 11:54, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
We now have 800 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later.

Hi! Thanks for putting one of these on
Aura D'Angelo. However, it isn't enough just to put the template there, you need to fill in the details. The full deal is: {{translated page|SourceLanguageCode|SourcePageTitle|version=123456789|insertversion=987654321|section=name}}
(the "section" parameter is optional). It's pretty obvious, but if you need help with this, ping me either here or at the talk-page there.
So, the big question: have you translated other pages from other Wikipedias? If so, those too will need to be attributed in this way unless you left a detailed edit summary crediting the source (please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other language Wikimedia projects for explanation). I may be able to help with that too. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 20:56, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Bolero into
Bolero (Spanish dance). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. —

I think White's book is clearly the primary topic for the search term "Metahistory" - regardless of whether the term has been employed before. IF you want Metahistory to redirect to historiography then I will have to place a hatnote on historiography to note that "metahistory redirects here, for the book by Hayden White see Metahistory (Hayden White)" and that may be a little excessive. So if you insist that the article about White's work should be located at a disambiguation title then I think we will need a disambiguation page and not a redirect. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 11:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Why did you move Informal collaborator to Informal collaborator (East Germany)? Korny O'Near ( talk) 02:48, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi In ictu oculi. Above you said "Thanks Herostratus for the lengthy and correct understanding displayed above" and earlier on my talk you have said (re the ANI thread) "You're absolutely correct, and thank you for your comments".
So although I have also probably said things you don't like (re HacoGate (HacoGhazi?)), take me as a non-hostile person, which is true -- I'm not hostile.
As a non-hostile person, may I suggest that you, as general rule, use a lot more WP:RM and a lot less unilateral moving. It is possible that User:Born2cycle should also -- I don't know -- and maybe you could both agree to do so, or something.
User:Born2cycle makes the point that, justified as they may be on the merits (or not -- I'm not making judgement because I don't know), anything that could conceivably be objected to just on titling rules alone, you should discuss. So should User:Born2cycle IMO. Really, so should all of us.
I understand "Well, it is crystal-clear to me, as an experienced editor that has worked in this area a lot, that this is the better title" as the basis for a unilateral move. However, IMO it needs to be "Well, it is crystal-clear to me, as an experienced editor that has worked in this area a lot, that this is the better title and no sane person could possibly object" needs to be the operative hurdle to clear.
I think a lot less drama this way (and if "no sane person could possibly object" still gets you in move wars, just expand your definition of "sane person" until it does I guess).
And there's no hurry. There's no "I must move this article now". Set up an RM, make your case and give your reasons, and see what shakes out. Sometimes you'll be turned down. Oh well -- Wikipedia! If you're making an article and need the title space cleared, I dunno -- keep the article in draft, or use a different name, or something, until the RM clears, I guess.
Of course, I get the point that " User:In ictu oculi and User:Born2cycle both agreeing to use RM's almost always" is not exactly a parallel situation for various reasons. What can I say? Life isn't fair. It's the best solution I can think of.
What say you? Herostratus ( talk) 20:53, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have 800 reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just 55 reviews, the 22,000 backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

A tag has been placed on Krassimira Stoyanova 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Upon reading a few prior RM discussions, it's genuinely intriguing how many people think dropping diacritics makes a word or name "English." As an example, Djokovic is not a transcription of Đoković. Djokovich, on the other hand, would be.
It is generally preferred to use diacritics, of course. French, Spanish and German accents are commonly used in English writing, even in the absence of other languages' equivalents. But in the state I live in in my country, for instance, diacritics are not permitted in names. As such, people often respell diacritics rather than directly stripping them from their own names. In some cases, individuals have no diacritics in their name, but modify the spelling to aid pronunciation by others. Rovingrobert ( talk) 05:03, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Please, I'd ask you to seek consensus before unilaterally moving a whole host of articles just on the basis that the "main" article was moved. Many of those are independent articles with their own motives and/or specific uses of English translations, and many of your edits are even breaking some of those pages' templates. Also, the most recent move request in the Minorca article was only supported by a difference of one vote (out of three people involved) and this just after there were several other move request which were strongly rejected.
In fact, WP:CONSISTENCY would call for the Menorca article to be dubbed as Minorca (not the other way around). Specially seeing how Majorca is also refered to in its English form and not as Majorca, or how this also happens for Seville, Biscay, etc. This is the English Wikipedia, and English is used in a preferential way not because of it being "British colonial", but because of it being the Wikipedia in English.

In ictu oculi,
Redirects from people commonly include data that should be retained in a stub biography, more than you retained for Moira Young this winter ( revision, 2016-12-25).
In this case, Template: Authority control as well as {DEFAULTSORT} and the article categories that you did retain. {Authority control} belongs in the footer of every biography where any of the relevant ID are available, and it doesn't hurt to include it anyway. The template parameters aren't necessary if there is a corresponding Wikidata item where those values have been entered, and the template with no parameter values will generate no display in the biography footer if there are no parameter values entered at Wikidata.
For Moira Young there are no parameter values now defined at Wikidata, D:Q28059228 [no longer true 2017-08-11]. If you had retained the template in December, those values would have been transferred to Wikidata by some one, perhaps a robot --and quickly so, if I understand correctly.
I am now "out of date" on how that process works. Let me restore the template with parameter values to the biography footer, rather than enter those values at Wikidata manually. ... Done (
revision, last hour).
Soon the parameter values will be moved from template {Authority control} to the Wikidata item, I expect. -- P64 ( talk) 23:50, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

If you would take a look at all the references i collected for the article (in a period of about half a year) and check those against Wikipedia:Notability_(music) you would see - like i already discussed with several editors during the draft phase - that those references easily show notability according to more than then ten points of the guidelines... Shown notability is the reason it is not a draft anymore.. Each source is checked for author/journalist reliability (all worked at some point or are working for well-know musical media, newspapers or radio station), each source is checked (all magazines etc. are well-know for their expertise in music) - almost all having their own wikipedia-page. Besides that there are the books and encyclopedia entries providing infos about things like her unique playing style (one of the books even got its own chapter about her). I can easily show the guideline matching as i already did before. "borderline. Merge to Furslide" - which is only one of the bands she played in (besides beeing the Frontwomen there alongside two other notable musicians (which is only one of the guideline criterias and also Furslide as band (article not written by me btw) matching e.g. the guideline criteria for a major label (virgin)) make it appears to me like you are on some kind of personal vendetta since you saw my move-page request mentioning you - but not like an objective discussion.

Cheers! bd2412 T 16:27, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
No issues; I think we just let ourselves go passionately on that issue, but I understand your reasonings for the move and that it would maybe have happened in the future (however, given that as of currently the different M*norca uses seemed to still be tied depending on which theme they were related to, it didn't seem about right to force it without a strong consensus given past precedence and the fact that it should not be Wikipedia the one which establishes new usages). In the end, though, the whole relist issue at least was useful at achieving an higher participation for it, instead of it being based on a rather low-turnout RM compared to previous ones. After the page's move this morning I've already updated many politically-related articles in Spain to reflect the new term and be consistent with it, so no worries. Cheers!

Hello! I've noticed that you redirected the page "Auf Wiedersehn" to a different location today: [10]. Did you see that you broke 7 incoming links? Would you fix all of them, please?
By the way, I would agree to renaming the article " Auf Wiedersehn (album)" to " Auf Wiedersehn (Demis Roussos album)". You can request speedy deletion of the latter page if you want. But please, don't rename the article to "Auf Wiedersehen (...)" or "Auf Wiederseh'n (...)". The cover says "Auf Wiedersehn", so the current title is the only correct one. -- Moscow Connection ( talk) 19:43, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Its a section of extended discussion related to the above page move request, and when that page move request is concluded, that discussion will also be concluded as part of the same. By changing the header, you're inviting the discussion to not be closed when the page move request is done. -- Netoholic @ 00:24, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jill Barklem, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Winter Story ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

I told you I would get an administrator involved if you did not leave me and what I create alone only a day ago and yet you're still at it, targeting recent redirects I've created. There is no other way you would have found these if I had not recently created them. Sun & Moon, Mama Always Told Me, Je te promets. All still on my watchlist. I'm informing an administrator. Drop your issues with me now. Find better things to do. Ss 112 23:50, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas, because that is what I celebrate. If you don't like Christmas or just don't celebrate it in any of its forms, then please accept a generic "Happy Holidays". If you celebrate no holidays at this time of year, then hopefully you will be satisfied with an even more generic "Season's Greetings". :) BOZ ( talk) 01:00, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
